Specificity, Voice and Backstory

                Today we're talking about character voice, backstory, and writing with specificity. I’ve talked about all these elements separately, but combined these three are the most important elements of your description. Why? Because describing something is the best place to learn not only what the character is experiencing, but more about them and their backstory.

                We do that through drawing comparisons not to abstract ideas, but to specific moments the character has witnessed. Okay, consider these two examples:

The room smelled of warm spices and herbs like a fancy restaurant kitchen.

Vs.

The room smelled like the thyme and basil that clung to my mother's hair when she had finished making dinner, kneeling to hug me after I came in from school.

                They convey the same information, but we learn so much more about the character in the second example.

                In my Differentiating between Perspectives post, I talked more about attitude in character voice. What your character compares things to is a great tell for voice. Here’s the example from that post:

                “The bar was filled to the brim with sweaty drunks falling over each other, barely cognizant of the drinks they were spilling--much less so the people around them.”

                Versus

                “Upbeat dance music filled the bar. A crowd had formed in the middle of the floor, people cheering and dancing together like the rest of the world hardly mattered.”

                Right?

                Check out the full post here:

                So when you’re describing something and reaching for a metaphor or something to liken it to, try to make it personal, in the character’s voice, and specific. We can learn a whole lot more that way.

instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

Here to remind people dream was liking ship art of him and Quackity while he was getting ghosted THAT MAN IS A CREEP AND A WEIRDO AND ALSO HE GOT CAUGHT DMING HIS FANS ON TWITTER 💀💀

The buddie shippers on Twitter might be the most annoying mfs on earth, suddenly Buck can't have a daddy kink?? Can we be serious for five seconds and not be dramatic over the smallest things?

Mind you arya literally assaulted sansa and ruined her expensive dress. It’s established that they’re mutually mean to each other. Some people just want them to be victims of bullying I guess, as if they’re not having larger issues at this point lmao.

Everything i'm hearing about these two gives me more proof that at the end of the day the adults (the parents) should have helped them get along 😭

I haven't read Tgcf and i'm not planning to (not my cup of tea) but why is the fandom so classist against My Qing? He doesn't own Xie lian eternal servitude, he doesn't owe him anything actually, they might have been friends but MQ priority was his mother and that's okay. It's like people are only okay when HC does the whole "Will do anything for the person i love most" bit but suddenly MQ choosing his mother over XL is bad? I don't get it

now repeat after me:

"im not going to send hate to the writers or actors if i don’t get the canon ship i want, and i won’t go start petty little fights online either"

just enjoy the show (or film this isn’t universal go the wee woo fandom) and not ruin it for the rest
