Happy Birthday , Silver! ⚔️💚
No because what is this endless cycle of “I can love them but they can’t love me?”
I know I talked about their self-hatred a bit here.
I know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree but this is ridiculous??
Always seeing it as a lens of giving to others but not recieving.
Lilia -> hatches Malleus and wakes Silver but runs away from them.
Malleus -> wants to make Lilia proud and helps raise Silver but doesn’t see the happiness his birth brought and calls himself useless in front of Silver who took comfort in him enough to be vulnerable with him.
Silver -> loves Lilia and Malleus but believes he doesn’t deserve that love given his heritage.
Sebek is out here just: 🧍♂️ “I’m surrounded by idiots”
It’s just so frustrating?? I know there’s learned habits of love but it’s ridiculous when you have learned habits of sacrifice too.
Because if you are always thinking about love this way, aren’t you diminishing the love given to you?
In return, does that not continue this cycle? That we see? Over and over? Because you are not receiving it as was intended hence the one who gives it to you freely…feels it’s not enough. Will never be enough. So they try harder and feel this self-depreciation because of it.
When that is not true!! It is enough! Always enough!! Ahhhhhh *hugs Sebek* 😭😭😭
(There are many more moments that show this cycle between the three but I chose these moments because they are the most well known and tumblr 10 limit image on the app my beloathed.)

@urfriendlywriter | req by @everynowandthenihaveacrisis @aidyaiden :)
know your character. from their deepest fears to what they cherish the most. know your deepest fear, ask yourself how you will react and feel at that moment. "oh shit, if this happened to me I'll lose my mind" what's that type of scenario for you? write it. :)
decide on the type of angst you are going for!
major, minor, physical, emotional, paranormal, spiritual, verbal, abusive, quarrel, misunderstanding, etc.
and then, decide on--what reaction you can take out of your character by doing what to them.
are they gonna be, held at a gunpoint to give something up? or have their soul wrecked by whom they thought were close to them? or is it going be horror, or etctec, decide on it.
moving on to actually writing it-
her eyes brimmed with tears
his chest heaved
pain clawed at his heart, as his face twisted with hurt
his scream pierced my heart
her lips quivered
she dug her nails into her palms (to distract herself, to stop it from shaking, etc)
show what is happening to ur MC, instead of telling it.
If they're panicking, make them notice too many things at once, show every detail that they're seeing, feeling, from touch, to that burning sensation on their eyes, the blood on the ground, that dryness of their throat, the buzzing in their head and their parted lips unable to trust their own sight, and--and, boom! have them register that they're really really in trouble. and that they've to act fast.
use short, very minimal type of writing for this. make it long, but not long enough that it feels like it's being dragged.
the readers should hold themselves back from skimming the page out of curiousity, they should be in their toes to find out what happens next.
what does your MC do in times of panic? do they chant calm down to themselves, do they get angry, or start crying.. or?? what makes your character genuinely feel an emotion so hard that they'll burst?
there's always something, someone that'll always give them love and easily can be that something or someone to take it away. yk.
what is close to your character that u can deprive them of? will it make them cry? beg for it?
what will make ur character cry so hard, that their scream fills everyone's ear, stays in their minds like ghosts and always haunts them?
make a character who never cries, burst out with tears.
while writing crying, focus on the 5 senses, one after the other.
focus it on their breath, make them run out of breath, gasp for air, feel like they're being choked, cry so scrutinizingly. it shud punch the reader's gut.
have them replay what had just happened over and over again in their head
3rd book in the AGGTM series (yk it hit hard like a truck. it got me depressed in bed the entire time lmao)
Five Survive by Holly Jackson. The moments of red outside of the truck, and moments leading to it.
there's this book called " Warm by @untalentedwriter127 " in wattpad. the author served angst for breakfast, lunch anddd dinner.
and if there's more angsty ones, drop em in the comments! :)
Hope this helps, tag me when yall write a masterpiece! ;)
kaizenix arc yoohan....never not thinking about them
i wish there were more canon interactions between silver and vil so they could talk about living and growing up being raised by a single father. it's more timely now considering the end of the diasomnia book... and deuce can join in too and talk about his life being raised by a single mother!!!! twst writers please let them bond.....
Appearing characters: Figaro, Cain, Faust, Rustica, Bradley, Fusetter
Keep The Secret of Tonight Under Lock and Key
Figaro: Is this the place?
Cain: I think so? That ball of light we saw should be around here somewhere… What was that anyway? It gave me the creeps…
Faust: I don’t sense anything ominous, and the barriers are intact, so I doubt it’s anything serious. We should investigate properly, though. Just in case.
Rustica: There’s something so mystifying about forests at nightfall. One can spot many different critters roaming about, guided by the light of glowing mushrooms and fruits.
Bradley: …Hm? Wuzzat over there, under the tree?
???: …
Bradley: Izzat a… dog?
Figaro: If it is, seeing this kind of breed is a first for me. Have you seen anything like it before, Faust?
Faust: Can’t say I have. It’s unusually long and… pudgy.
Cain: Doesn’t seem hurt or anything either. Heya, buddy, you good over there?
Bradley: Lessee… Giddy-up!
Bradley: …The hell?! It can’t be that long…
Rustica: Is it in the middle of taking a nap perhaps?
Strange dog: …Hruk…
Wizards: !
Strange dog: W-Wah! W-Where am I?!
Bradley & Figaro: It…
Faust, Cain & Rustica: Can talk?!
Strange dog: E-Erm…
Figaro: Well, you don’t see this every day. What’s your name, little guy?
Fusetter: I’m Fusetter!
Figaro: I hope you don’t mind me asking, but just to clarify, you are a dog, right?
Fusetter: Yep! …Whoa, it's the moon! And it’s so big!
Rustica: It’s always been this big. Does it perchance have something to do with your arrival?
Fusetter: Well, I remember looking up and admiring it.
Fusetter: I’d never seen a moon so big and pretty, so I decided to take a picture of it, but… Before I knew it, I ended up here.
Bradley: Where have I heard this story before…
Rustica: It’s easy to lose your way while following the moon.
Faust: I’m more curious how it managed to pass through the barrier. The capital and the market are a long distance away.
Faust: As for what it is… A magical beast or fey of sorts?
Figaro: Could he be from another world?
Cain: Maybe even the same one as the Master Sage?
Figaro: Well, we do live in a world riddled with mystery.
Figaro: It wouldn’t be a first.
Bradley: The Sage never said nothin’ about dogs bein’ able to talk in their world.
Bradley: Say, lil’ fella, where exactly were ya watchin’ the moon from? Got any name you can give us?
Fusetter: Of course, I was at ◯◯◯!
Bradley & Figaro: Come again?
Cain: Sorry, we didn’t quite catch that, can you say it again?
Fusetter: I was at ◯◯◯!
Faust: …Interesting. It’s as if the most important part is evading us.
Figaro: Are you using magic to do this?
Fusetter: I wouldn’t call it magic, but I do have this unique power…
Fusetter: It’s a bit difficult to explain.
Cain: Go on, we’re listening.
Fusetter: Okay, then, can you hold my paw for a moment?
Cain: Of course~ Ooh, you’re so squishy!
Fusetter: Hehe, thank you.
Fusetter: Now, think about something you’ve kept secret recently.
Fusetter: Once you’ve got your secret ready, go on and say it.
Cain: Oookay…
Cain: When I woke up yesterday, my pants were ◯◯◯◯.
Cain: What the…!
Bradley & Rustica: We…
Figaro: Couldn’t understand that last bit at all.
Faust: …Really interesting.
Fusetter: That’s my power: I can keep others’ secrets!
Rustica: Why, it’s just like a little spell. May I give it try as well, Fusetter?
Fusetter: Of course!
Rustica: Thank you. Now, to think of a secret… Oh, I got it.
Rustica: Two days ago, right as I was about to go to bed, I was heading towards ◯◯◯◯, and somehow ended up singing and dancing at ◯◯◯◯◯◯.
Bradley: That’s rad as hell! My turn, lil’ pup.
Bradley: I keep my ◯◯◯ at the manor.
Figaro: Me next.
Figaro: My ◯◯ is ◯◯◯◯◯◯.
Fusetter: Your secrets are safe with me, everyone!
Figaro: I can’t help but feel like we’d be living in a different universe if we’d met you earlier.
Fusetter: I’m happy to help as long as everyone’s getting along.
Faust: …
Fusetter: Would you like to try it too?
Faust: I think I’ll pass.
Rustica: But his paw is really soft.
Figaro: It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know. Don’t let it pass you by.
Fusetter: Please!
Faust: …Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try, I suppose.
Faust: …Oh, you really are fluffy all over. …Right, the secret. Let me think…
Faust: …I had ◯◯◯◯◯ for last night’s dinner.
Faust: Wow…
Bradley: Pretty sick, yeah?
Cain: But how are you doing that if you’re not a wizard?
Figaro: I don’t sense any magic, so maybe he’s not a wizard but a magician?
Fusetter: You’ve brought up the word ‘magic’ so many times now, so I have to ask… Are you all wizards?
Figaro: Yep, and we serve the Sage.
Figaro: They came from another world, just like you, and under their guidance, we save the world every year.
Fusetter: Woow, that sounds awesome!
Rustica: And we’re not the only ones. Say, Fusetter, would you like to go back to the manor with us?
Rustica: I’m positive the rest of our friends would be thrilled to witness this unique ability of yours.
Bradley: You Western bunch just wanna toss ‘im ‘round like a hot potato, don’tcha?
Fusetter: Please don’t do that…
Cain: Nah, don’t worry about it. They’re a bit of a special case but mean well.
Cain: But Rustica’s right, why don’t you come with us? I imagine you must be feeling quite lost in another world all by yourself.
Faust: And while your situation might be a bit strange, you don’t seem like you’re here to cause trouble.
Figaro: Yep, the Master Sage and kids will love you.
Fusetter: Aww, you’re all too kind!
Figaro: Nonsense. Maybe the twins will know something about you, so we should talk to them and see.
Figaro: Although, something tells me you’re going to keep all personal information to yourself.
Figaro: I would also like to perform a few check-ups on you.
Fusetter: …What’s a check-up? Will it hurt?
Figaro: No, not all. I’m a world-renowned doctor, you know? I’ll handle you with care.
Fusetter: Ooh, sounds good!
Fusetter: Let’s get along, everyone!
