“I Was Fundamentally Wrong. Right From The Start. And So…I Have To Set It Right”

Shoma is leaving his coaching team!! 

I still believe he has to much more to offer and after following him for a while I reallly hope this finally leads him to golds at the bigger competitions 

Me @ myself anytime I open my mouth:

I’m never satisfied with my vnc drawings-

People keep introducing villains with dark music and grim shadows everywhere and like edgy aesthetic and speeches

but the Best Villain introduction and establishing moment has already occurred

like, we’ve been with her one minute and we already know every other thing about her and Are Terrified, every other introduction go home, this one already wins

this is so self-indulgent is2g but what if this audio was in video form?? 

so basically what we have here is: makoto having the courage to leave a love message on haru’s phone and haru stays in bed and thinks about it while he plays it again and again

this took me like three hours j e s u s

I’ve said it a bajillion times and I’ll say it a bajillion more: motive. 

It fixes 99% of writing problems. 

Scene is boring? Give the characters a motive. Character doesn’t feel real? Find their driving motives behind their worldview and actions. Tension missing? Find a motive and prevent the anyone from getting what they want. 

Dig into those passions, however big or small. Prevent characters from reaching it, make it glaringly, blindingly obvious what they, in their deepest parts of their soul, crave. 

Motive motive motive. 

the most heartbreaking part of hamlet really is the whole “goodnight sweet prince” part because when horatio says “and angels sing thee to thy rest” he is using the intimate form of thou, and it’s the first time he ever does it. hamlet consistently uses the intimate form of thou for horatio (only when they’re in private though, which – if shakespeare intentionally wanted to give their relationship homoerotic subtext, which he totally did – shows that hamlet wants to keep his romantic love for horatio a secret to the greater public) but horatio, being the respectful person he is and also given the fact that if he were to use the intimate form of thou it would pretty much be a romantic confession, never ever uses thou. except when after hamlet dies. when it’s too late. 

here hamlet is, dying in horatio’s arms, asking horatio if he ever held him in his heart. and horatio doesn’t get a chance to reply. hamlet dies. only then does horatio realizes his mistake of not confessing sooner
