subtle ways to include foreshadowing

one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later

the crow rhyme

colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?

write with the ending in mind

use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future

keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal

WEATHER.

do some research into Chekhov's gun

mention something that the mc dismisses over and over

KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.

unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true

flowers and names with meanings

anything with meanings actually

metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh

anyways add anything else in the tags

so a headcanon for you: 

catra has trouble sleeping alone, she is prone to nightmares. entrapta has trouble sleeping alone, she gets big anxiety about it and sleeps poorly. entrapta tends to sneak around so shes sleeping in the vents of where other people are resting and they get used to this presence. some people welcome it, those hardest of sleep who don’t mind the sound of snoring. 

anyway catra and entrapta are able to recognise this in each other, so when adora is away, and entrapta is hit by the… unexpected need to sleep, they nap together. starts off with sharing a communal bunk in the space ship, evolves into actual cuddling. 

they love this state of affairs. it is far easier to relax. 

first doodle of 2023 this year i want to drop any expectations i have for my style and let my art just Be

doodle of fallingstar, my clangen founder

they were described as being cold and had “unshakable ties to the dark forest” which is. kinda metal imo

The beginning of the Dark Forest should have started with you.

This is Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1 on IG), she's a young journalist who's been documenting the daily life in Gaza, Palestine since before October of last year and continues to do so now, as her and her family have been displaced by Israel, her home and workplace destroyed in the bombings. If you don't already follow her, I highly suggest to do so, as she takes interviews from the local people in the refugee camps and provides a fantastic insight into Palestinians as a nation, their culture and the horrors they face under the Israeli apartheid regime in their own land.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

power of the stars

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.

It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.

Examples (all done by me):

Here’s an example for how you can use it
