Hand out these leaflets, we're doing some campaigning
End of session:
That whole, I bet you can't break a fandom with only a few words except we are a fandom of like twenty people and a shoelace but wtv hope you all see this-
"Don't go Ares, okay? Don't."
Reblog with just TWO choices
Me: Listen, we don't believe in Wicca stuff
My brain: Yup
Me: We aren't spiritual in any way, and don't believe in superstition
My brain: Correct
Me: And we only bought that book on magic for reference when writing
My brain: That was our intention
Me: ...so why do we want to try Wicca magic?
My brain: Just shut up and build the altar
once more, noted
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

Here are a handful of quick tips to help you write believable characters!
1. A character’s arc doesn’t need to grow linearly. Your protagonist doesn’t have to go from being weak to strong, shy to confident, or novice to professional in one straight line. It’s more realistic if they mess up their progress on the way and even decline a bit before reaching their goal.
2. Their past affects their present. Make their backstory matter by having their past events shape them into who they are. Growing up with strict parents might lead to a sneaky character, and a bad car accident might leave them fearful of driving.
3. Give reoccurring side characters something that makes them easily recognizable. This could be a scar, a unique hairstyle, an accent, or a location they’re always found at, etc.
4. Make sure their dialogue matches their personality. To make your characters more believable in conversation, give them speech patterns. Does the shy character mumble too low for anyone to ever hear, does the nervous one pace around and make everyone else on edge?
5. Make your characters unpredictable. Real people do unexpected things all the time, and this can make life more exciting. The strict, straight-A student who decides to drink at a party. The pristine princess who likes to visit the muddy farm animals. When character’s decide to do things spontaneously or in the heat of the moment, it can create amazing twists and turns.
6. Give even your minor character’s a motive. This isn’t to say that all your characters need deep, intricate motives. However, every character should need or want something, and their actions should reflect that. What’s the motive behind a side character who follows your protagonist on their adventure? Perhaps they’ve always had dreams of leaving their small village or they want to protect your protagonist because of secret feelings.

Why hello there, fellow fixation=obscurity of fandom-er
Why can’t I hyper fixate on, like, the MCU or HP or something with a huge fandom. No! Instead my brains like “Yano these books/movies with little to no fandom? Yea that’s the stuff.”
Hello Gregor The Overlander and Michael Vey fandoms. How are you today? And an honorable mention to the nonexistent Dull Boy (book) fandom. I wish you existed.
I mean, obviously I draw for WOF but that’s just for art, i like dragons and designing, I don’t really care much for the story. And then BMC but I wouldn’t say the fandoms small just not quite the MCU or Harry Potter.
Percy: Yeah, I'm arguably one of, if not THE, strongest demigo-
Some random fucking Hermes kid from 2,000 years ago:
Huh, people seem to like this idea. Might do a one-shot based off of this. I need something to clear my writers block anyways. Thoughts?
The Underland Chronicles, and everything is the same except people refer to the Underland as "down under", and everyone from the Underland has really strong Australia accents.
