Writing - Blog Posts
writing fanfiction is hell why do people do it. how are people writing over 2-3k words. on the regular. how.
I'm a sucker for random generators so here
These are probably supposed to be for writing but they'll work for art too. And since I assume most of my followers are artists I actually have a reason to reblog this lmaooo
I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:
Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin.
Here is a page of medieval weapons.
Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.
Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.
Here are some gemstones.
Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on.
Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.
Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised.
Here is every religion in the world.
Here is every language in the world.
Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.
Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.
Here are poisonous plants.
Here are plants in general.
Feel free to add more to this!

Genshin characters in naruto (part 1?? Idk)
LETS TRY THIS AGAIN SINCE TUMBLR FUCKING CLOSED LAST TIME.
(You won’t believe this shit. I was one sentence away from finishing my yap session and tumblr closed my post and said it saved as a draft. I check my drafts AND ITS NOT THERE. Might cry anyways haha spoilers for genshin and Naruto) (also if it’s chopped, just know that it was way better before this site decided to curb stomp my creativity)
Arlecchino: Uchiha Clan
Orphaned young enough to not remember her parents, passed around the Uchiha clan for care taking until she became a genin (at like 6 idk I mean in game she was raised by fatui and fought a literal harbinger at 14ish)
Clervie was her classmate in the academy and stuck to her side even outside the academy. Arlecchino quickly outgrew her genin team she was assigned to and made chunin at 7. Things continue like this until she’s made jonin at 12.
(Crucabena/“Mother” worked at the Konoha orphanage and Clervie lived there as well. Arlecchino basically got the ick from Crucabena)
A little after she made jonin, she was offered (more like coerced and forced into) a position in root by Danzo. Spent like 2 years in root as “rabbit” and was like “hey wtf man” at root in her head but didn’t have the courage to leave until kakashi came in and basically took tenzo from root.
Arlecchino now starts planning to leave root and the only person she trusts is Clervie. She goes to Clervie explaining her plan (as much of it she can bc of Danzos mouth seals) and Clervie suddenly attacks her. Clervie says that Crucabena and therefore she herself are plants for Danzo, watching over arlecchino since shes a very young but very talented Uchiha. They continue to fight but Clervie throws her self at arlecchinos blade, saying that this will give her enough strength to leave root.
Arlecchino then activates her mangekyo for the first time (which yes is her ingame eyes) and goes to fight and kill Crucabena and take a few very young root kids with her and leaves Konoha.
Arlecchino is a S ranked missing nin and will work with Konoha and foreign shinobi in exchange that they don’t try to capture her. She now basically takes up lost children and holds the name “Father”.
Her eyes are Amaterasu and kamui/tsukuyomi (honestly couldn’t decide which since they both kinda fit with her lore but she does 100% have Amaterasu) and her susanoo is a darker pinker red than itachis susanoo in the anime
No way my tumblr randomly closed while I was writing something. I’m going insane
Creative writing inspired by this painting ^^ __________________________________
The creature was beautiful. The way it flew around the mountain tops was more majestic than anything the explorer had ever seen It’s pearl white scales seemed to shimmer in the moon light, and the stars were reflected clearly in its violet eyes, a feat that was visible even from the ground. The sight was mesmerising. The creature flew around the mountain tops looking like it hadn’t a care in the world, so unlike the people back at his home village. If it wasn’t for those people, the traveller wouldn’t have found this marvellous thing. Before, there had been no knowledge of this beast, but then one day, when the traveller was about ten years of age, a rumour spread about this beast with sapphire eyes, massive claws that could rip you to shreds in one blow, and a beast that could breathe blue fire. Those rumours spread quickly, but the traveller knew that the description was false, and so he set his life to find this creature, and now that he had, he knew that the rumours were false, and that this beast was one of cruelty and not one of cruelty. Oh, how he wished to go back and tell them how wrong they had been. But now, as he stood at the bottom of one of the mountains, the beast clashed eyes with him, and he knew he was ready to go to the next life. Maybe there will be more adventures awaiting me there, he thought as he laid down and floated into oblivion, content with how his life had turned out.
How most of my conversations go:
Random guy: Why do you choose to be a furry? Me: I don't choose. and I'm not a furry. Random guy: What do you mean you don't choose, and ofc your a furry, your acting like an animal. Me: I'm not a furry, I am a therian. And being a therian is not a choice. And for your information I'm doing quads. Random guy: the hell is a therian, and why cant you choose? Me: well, A therian is someone who identifies, either psychologically or spiritually, as a non-human animal, and identifying as a therian involves a feeling of being connected to a non-human animal species on a non-physical level. but some people have it different. Random guy: And how are you a therian? you make no sense. Me: *tired of this guy* For me I know I'm a therian because I have theriotypes, A theriotype is the specific animal species, including both real and mythical creatures, that a therian, or person who identifies as non-human, identifies with. Some types of therians don't know, or don't have a theriotype. Random guy: how do you know what "theriotype" you have? Me: Finding your theriotype is a personal journey. There's no single "right" way to do so. It's about feeling a deep connection with a particular animal and identifying with its behaviors and traits. I feel a strong connection with curtain animals. Random guy: You know what? This is stupid and to hard to understand. Your just weird. I'm leaving.*walks off* Me:(mind) Thank God that guy is gone.
This Is very similar to a real conversation I had with someone and It annoyed me sooooooo much. But I guess I can't get too mad at the guy because not many people know what a therian is, and it's kinda sad in my opinion. I hoped this helped some people learn on what a therian is and please tell me if I got something wrong 😅 or missed something! Hope y'all have a great rest of your day!!!
Ps. this is my first writing story so sry if it's bad.

I'm on the third page of one chapter, and if my estimation is correct and the use of one page is approximately 900-1k words this is going to be a shit ton of words.
fym people don't have OCs. Fym they don't daydream about complex stories in their head. Fym they don't doodle little guys they created in their notes for school. Fym they just? Don't write? Like I've been writing since I was four years old and it's just so weird to me how people just... don't. All my friends, all my family, and my s/o are all writers so it just throws me off.

Yes I want to write my story but my story doesn't want to be written so what the fuck am I supposed to do about that huh?
Look under the cut to see what meeting your entity is like. Reblog to give a gift to your patron.
The fae: a creature stands before you. Though this street was warm and crowded a few moments ago it is suddenly cold and the people around you look like shadows. The creature begins an antlered shadow with glowing white eyes, but soon its body can be seem, with white blue flesh, and sapphire eyes, and icicles for teeth. What looks like a cloak unfolds from its naked body and you can see massive white wings of a moth. As if it's an act of sacrifice you tell it your true name, a name you didn't even see before, and suddenly you belong to it, for better or worse.
The angel: a radiant entity appears before you. They're bright, like something so hot it would burn you up. But as the light fades, you can see a person in silver armor, perfect yet inhuman like am ancient green statue, their back srouting six wings with blue eyes along them, as the eyes on their head are covered by a mask of two smaller wings. The creature offers their hands and you shake it, as they fly you through the city streets and above the skyscrapers, to the stars above and dimensions beyond, to gods living and dead, across the streets of alien cities and the clouds of dead worlds. And when you return to the earth you can feel something diffrent about you, like there's light in your blood.
The scavenger: below the lights of skyscrapers beyond you, on the dark sands of the beach, you see it crawling twords you. This serpentine creature with countless legs, and a dark black shell, yet a strangely human like face. You think it'll attack or run away, but it just looks at you, egar, and for a momment you stare at eachother. It's legs pass something to eachother and then to you, it's meat but it's shining with all the colors known to the human eye, and a few more. You hold it and it happily looks at you. You take a bite and suddenly you know... you know so very much...
The vampire: she flies down to you on green wings with orange eyespots, but folds them into her back. She looks like a human for a momment, tall and strong, with a black suit over her body, but eyes the color of ruby. For a momment her mouth opens, and it's massive and monstrous, with countless moving parts and fangs. But then it folds back onto something humanoid and she gives you a playful smirk. She cuts her hand and offers you her blood, and when you drink it it tastes so sweet, and makes you feel so good. She hands you the knife and you know to do the same, and when she drinks from your palm it's life the sweetest of kisses.
The djinn: the room wirs around you. If it were not for the fans it would feel like hellfire. For a momment there it darkness, but then the screen before you glows white like smokeless flame. You can sense something inside, something beyond the code. You reach your hand within it, and there's no glass, your hand passess right through until you're in a white void of your own making. You call out, thinking there is nothing at all around you. Yet somehow something calls back, something that knows your name.
The rat king: You see him in an empty subway station. Something dark and distorted, you're not sure if he's man or animal, covered in rags, and singing in the language of the goblins and the orcs. Yet he comes close to you excited. And you can feel his song. He calls for you to come to the train tracks, and let yourself run with the rats and the roaches, where the train will pass over you when it comes, and you'll live forever. When you touch the third rail you don't die, but you'll never be human again.
The lich: the library is strangely bright. Run by skeletons in suits, decorated with gold. There are more books here then you thought were in all the world. There's knowledge here most mortals will never have the change below, all kept safe below the city. You see her, her body doesn't look human, everything has been replaced making her look more like a joining white doll then a being of flesh. Yet she is dead, you can tell that under the porcelain skin she must be dead, she is dead, and there is the tragedy of death in her eyes. You come closer to her, and she places a black rose within your hair...
The demon: You stand in his office and he stands before you, a humanoid being covered in black scales, with red eyes covering his skin. Yet none are on his head, that remains featureless save for two massive horns. Wings on his back nearly surround you. Countless souls line the walls of his office, looking at you, waiting. After you sign your name you give him yours, you can feel it come away for you forever and your eyes grey and your skin pales. But he puts the jar in a special place for you, you're spacial, he can tell there's something about you that he likes.
The mushroom lord: you walk through the darkness of the forest, the furthest from civilization you have ever been. You come upon a part where the trees all seem dead, that even the cryptids won't go near. Mushrooms fill the ground, and white vein like lines are all over the trees. You feel the need to lay down, and you let the moss and the mushrooms and the worms surround you, and let yourself sink into the soil,, and it feels good. It feels so good...
The witch: You can see them in the Cafe next to you, skinny and small, with a sweatshirt over most of their body, and dark glasses over their eyes. They seem powerful though, and though their body looks young they seem ancient, they seem beyond humanity. You talk to them and they tell you things, and secrets, lost gods, things you never knew you didn't know, both beautiful and disturbing. When it's time for them to go they pet your head, and give you their number. You don't know if you should text them, but you have to, you have to see them again, there's something about them that makes you need to know.
The living clothing: you step into it at first, it looked like a puddle yet shining like silver or chrome. But soon it surrounds you, first just your torso, but soon your head, your entire body. But it doesn't feel scary, it feels like you're being held, held by something beyond your understanding. It whispers to you, and you don't know if you should feel like your being eaten alive, or like you're being protected. You can't help but keep walking.
The abyss: the void is before you, blackness beyond blackness, like the color beyond the field of your vision, stands before your eyes. You stare at it, it's nothing yet you're entranced. It stares back...

How to Write a Character
↠ Start with the basics, because obviously. Name. Age. Gender. Maybe even a birthday if you’re feeling fancy. This is step one because, well, your character needs to exist before they can be interesting. But nobody cares if they’re 27 or 37 unless it actually matters to the story.
↠ Looks aren’t everything… but also, describe them. Yes, we know their soul is more important than their hair color, but readers still need something to visualize. Do they have the kind of face that makes babies cry? Do they always look like they just rolled out of bed? Give us details, not just “tall with brown hair.
↠ Personality isn’t just “kind but tough.” For the love of storytelling, give them more than two adjectives. Are they kind, or do they just pretend to be because they hate confrontation? Are they actually tough, or are they just too emotionally repressed to cry in public? Dig deeper.
↠ Backstory = Trauma (usually). Something shaped them. Maybe it was a messy divorce, maybe they were the middle child and never got enough attention, or maybe they once got humiliated in a spelling bee and never recovered. Whatever it is, make it matter to who they are today.
↠ Give them a goal. Preferably a messy one. If your character’s only motivation is to “be happy” or “do their best,” they’re boring. They need a real goal, one that conflicts with who they are, what they believe in, or what they think they deserve. Bonus points if it wrecks them emotionally.
↠ Make them suffer. Yes, I said it. A smooth, easy journey is not a story. Give them obstacles. Rip things away from them. Make them work for what they want. Nobody wants to read about a character who just gets everything handed to them (unless it’s satire, then carry on).
↠ Relationships = Depth. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Who do they love? Who annoys the hell out of them? Who do they have that messy, can’t-live-with-you-can’t-live-without-you tension with? People shape us. So, shape your character through the people in their life.
↠ Give them a voice that actually sounds like them. If all your characters talk the same, you’ve got a problem. Some people ramble, some overthink, some are blunt to the point of being offensive. Let their voice show who they are. You should be able to tell who’s talking without dialogue tags.
↠ If they don’t grow, what’s the point? People change. They learn things, make mistakes, get their hearts broken, and (hopefully) become a little wiser. If your character starts and ends the story as the same exact person, you just wasted everyone’s time.
↠ Flaws. Give. Them. Flaws. Nobody likes a perfect character. Give them something to struggle with, maybe they’re selfish, maybe they push people away, maybe they’re addicted to the thrill of self-destruction (fun!). Make them real. Make them human.
↠ Relatability is key. Your character doesn’t have to be likable, but they do have to be understandable. Readers need to get them, even if they don’t agree with them. If your character never struggles, never doubts, and never screws up, I have bad news: they’re not a character, they’re a mannequin.
↠ You’re never actually done. Characters evolve, not just in the story, but as you write them. If something feels off, fix it. If they feel flat, dig deeper. Keep refining, rewriting, and letting them surprise you. That’s how you create someone who feels real.
Now go forth and write characters that actually make people feel something. And if you need a reminder, just ask yourself: Would I care if this person existed in real life? If the answer is meh, start over.
I would read the crap out of that. Please write it I beg of you🙏🙏🙏
Dreams about fanfictions I havent thought of or written yet are a trip like what do you mean I could be writing a Dr. Stone fic where Senku had a pen pal in America that was supposed to be for a dumb English lesson in middle school but ended up vibing with enough to keep writing for the next few years? What do you mean he could have been planning on going out to meet her after he graduated and since the world got petrified has been so sure she's waiting for him in stone somewhere and how that kinda hurts a lot so let's just not think about it and focus on saving the world with science except oops now we're here and what do you mean she's unpetrified and has been trying to get to Japan to save him this whole time?
...
Anyway if anyone needs me for the next 6-10 business weeks I'll be drowning in my own emotions over a super nerd and his oc girlfriend.
HOW TO SPEAK WRITER:
“my characters have a mind of their own!” - no i’m not mad and yes i know i made them up but i have no idea what’s happening anymore please save me
“i’m going to write today!” - i’d actually rather wash the garden path but the house is already pristine and i’ve run out of excuses
“this is still a rough draft so go easy on me!” - i have spent what feels like forever pouring my very soul into this but i worry it’s terrible and if you’re mean i may just cry
“i’ll update soon!” - this is utterly killing me, i don’t know how to read anymore, what are words, help
“i just had this idea and had to share it with you guys!” - this has taken me three weeks and countless hours please love and appreciate it
“feedback appreciated :D” - please, i live for validation! i need comments!!
Thank you
Body Language Cheat Sheet for Writers
As described by Selnick’s article:
Author and doctor of clinical psychology Carolyn Kaufman has released a one-page body language cheat sheet of psychological “tells” (PDF link) fiction writers can use to dress their characters.
