Show Don't Tell - Symptoms vs. the Affliction

              Another way to think of show don’t tell is to describe the symptoms rather than tell the affliction. You could say someone was close to fainting—or you could describe their symptoms and trust the readers to understand what they mean: the world swirled around her head, her ears beginning to hum lowly, then louder, increasing into a high-pitched ring. She took a deep breath, her stomach turning over itself. Etc.

              Symptoms can also mean the lump in your throat as a “symptom” of being sad enough to cry, or the warmth of your face as a “symptom” of embarrassment.

              That might sound a bit silly, but I find it really helpful when I’m reading over mine or others work and looking for those places where showing would be better than telling. Have you described the symptoms, or just told the affliction?

              Here’s a short list of “afflictions” and their associated “symptoms” to get you started (but make sure to explore how different characters express different afflictions, even in more odd or unusual ways!)

Any symptoms I missed?

Yesn't? I think it was a thing the fandom just collectively agreed upon. Something about Supernatural and Campbell soup.

im making a tuc-epic animatic and here is my VERY important preview for the fans

Why is it that the first thing I thought at the sight of this was "Is that an Underland Chronicles reference?"

how many angry female cows could you fight bare handed do you think

Cows? Those big ones? Realistically probably about 400 before I'd start breaking a sweat.

I don't actually live near a library, as I live in a pretty rural village. But damn, I wish I do. Something about them just sounds so enchanting, rows upon rows of weathered and worn books, passed down from holder to holder. Even to someone who's unfortunately lost their spark for reading, it sounds like paradise.

Although already quite amazing, Kaiser Impact Magnus is still imperfect. Kaiser can also only do it with a static ball and not a moving one. And even with the static one, Loki was able to easily shut it down.

Kaiser has a lot to go.

And I’m racking my head trying to figure out how he can get stronger when his aim (love) and means (malice/restriction) do not align. Love is supposed to be freeing, and malice can never yield love.

He knows this.

He knows that love = freedom.

He knows this, and yet

...he rejects it.

By yearning for love while forging ahead with malice, he dooms himself to never actually reach love. And he does this on purpose, all for the sake of creating a restrictive environment where he, allegedly, is stronger.

Does it have to be like this?

Is there really no other way for him to grow while allowing love into his life?

...And is Kaiser actually stronger without love? Is restriction truly the answer?

Much to think about.

excuse me why tf is this so beautiful

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

I just had the incredible/unholy fanfic idea of Haymitch and Ripred running a podcast together, discussing Underland politics and Hunger Games survival strategies.

So I checked my phone right before going to bed and saw that @returntoregalia started following me!

So I whipped up some quick paint 3D fan-art to commemorate the occasion. Keep up the good work, I look forward to the podcast every week!

I might be going insane, but at least it's over a great series
