What ideas came to you recently from daydreaming?

A whole story totally made of hurt/comfort scenes but with emotional arcs

It isn't related to Stormkeeper's newest plot version, but it has the core trio plus an old-new character getting a focus (Jonah)

heavily inspired by the current Megalo Box 2. Though Joe has been a major inspo for years

Maybe I should treat it as it's own project. People jumpy from wip to wip here all the time, instead of re-imagining and re-plotting the whole other idea and destroying it in the process

Maybe I should start training to write these scenes in snippets and sew them into a whole later. Like not forcing them into a story and leave it a free flow

Something of a plot around a tournament. And the magic types worming their way in

Magic just hurts a lot. The ideas keep coming

No villians. Ahh if I could just pull of the characters being mean, hurtful, human, redeemable and no one really being bad, just real clumsy in doing the right thing for others and themselves. Did anyone notice how much every writing advice and plot structure centres around bad guys/villains? No wonder a plot without it looks like a revolution

Watched Wish dragon movie yesterday with my brother and gotta say, it's a great example of main character with a flat arc. No less interesting for it, because the MC knows money isn't everything (the story's central truth) but he struggles against the world and all the characters that pressure him against it. He stumbles, occasionally hesitates, doubts himself and the lowest point comes when he succumbs to the lie ridden world and gets a pep talk from the change arc character he was influencing the whole time.

The story plays with themes like pride, machismo, vulnerability and self-worth

Kyler and Wes being full on estranged brothers this time, with Kyler hiding from things he needs even when at a breaking point, Wes stuck in a rebellious ignorant wounded circle and Jonah being the spark to set them both on the right track again.

Playing with these trio's dynamics is really fun. Wes seeing Jonah will show him what growing up and being a partner instead or the younger pampered protected one means and he really needs that

Kyler just wants to take care of people. He might have developed that tendency while caring for Wes, but it's not limited to him anymore.

Jonah never had anybody care or believe in him. I'm still working out his arc, but his inner insecurity engraved quite deep.

Just want these three to save each other in various ways.

Acacia is probably the only sane person, there to say out loud what nobody wants to hear

This picrew is so true to my daydreamed images I can't stop looking at it

Wes - Jonah - Kyler

I have been thinking of changing their names for the story, something like

Lukas/Julian/Kayden or

Andrew/Jacob/Kieran or even

Andrej/Jakub/Roman

But what's the point when their personalities and emotional arcs are so similar?

This would be so much easier if it was fanfiction. No wonder about AUs and playing with the same characters there. When an author uses the same original characters, it just looks like she has no imagination to make up new ones

On the other hand lots of authors just write the same story over and over with different characters and settings, it just isn't as obvious

100 Days of Writing, Day 48

from @the-wip-project

Write a snippet to this prompt:

“Do we really have to do this again?”

“Yes, we really do have to do this again,” her tutor said, pulling her to her feet. “We’ll do it again and again until you can pull it off without landing flat on your ass.” “Sounds wonderful,” Selaris grumbled, rolling her eyes. “I do have things do to other than practice my bladeweaving with you,”

“Things like that Allur I saw you arrive with? I seem to recall her whispering something that had you blushing quite-” Selaris cut her tutor off by lifting her sword and swinging at him, with a wild swing that was well-forecasted, but at least it cut him off.

“I’m not going to talk about it,” Selaris growled. “You weren’t supposed to be here to see that,” Her parents would never approve of Vysse. Well, her father wouldn’t approve. Her stepmother wouldn’t really have strong feelings about it, but she’d let her father say whatever he wanted, about her duty to her people.

You are the heir to our people, Selaris. You have a responsibility to them. It wouldn’t matter who Vysse was, or how happy the Allur made Selaris... it would matter to her father, to Prince Talkos vi’Rithmar that Vysse wasn’t an elf. 

Kua’lasia is dead, father. Dead and unreachable, and hopelessly holding onto the memory of our past is not going to work forever. Selaris didn’t have a single memory of the homeland she’d lost at the age of three, and she’d tried to remember something. But all she knew came from her lessons, or from the stories of those who had fled with her father and been swept up by the Harvest to here, to Vantar.

“I’m not going to tell your father about her, if that’s what your afraid if,” her tutor chided, stepping back, sword still at the ready. “Though I’m sure he’ll learn sooner or later. Your stepmother has eyes and ears all over the city.”

“Father hasn’t found out in the last year, so if she did find out, she hasn’t said anything to him,” Selaris said, twirling as she swung again, working a bit of magic behind the blow, connecting harder against his sword.

“A year?” Her tutor stepped back again, mouth open in surprise. “From the way she had you giggling and laughing, I would have thought it was much newer than that.”

“Not everyone loses their enthusiasm for a relationship after a few weeks,” Selaris muttered defensively.

“True, but historically speaking, you have,” he punctuated his words by swinging his blade and he nearly got past her guard - only with magic was Selaris able to move fast enough to let the blade skate by her. “Well, at least you’re staying aware of your surroundings this time.

#100daysofwriting, Day Eighteen, 2021-06-18

Event by @the-wip-project

What ideas came to you recently from daydreaming?

A whole story totally made from hurt/comfort scenes

Basically a Megalo Box inspired story with my three favourite boys and a girl MC

It's so self-indulgent and whumpy I'm legit scared to post it on my writeblr main even though I don't really know anyone in the whump community

It's basically these three getting hurt in various ways, from the physical strenuous sport of boxing, to motorcycle crashes to emotional turmoil

With themes like overcoming ones pride and machismo

And it actually has a plot of a tournament driving this around, but the focus is on the characters(' injuries)

The only question is if it's too whumpy to be a legit story and if it's enough material to be a longer story 🙈👀

Can something be too whumpy and self-indulgent to write? I just need reassurance

Прекрасная Фаина @faina.yunusova проводит #сфс, поэтому переходите и участвуйте. ⠀ Также, я думаю, все уже заинтересовал её сильный, заставляюший задуматься проект #100daysofQuestions, где люди обсуждают разнообразные проблемы. ⠀ Наверное для меня, тема тела и принятия себя навсегда останется актуальной. ⠀ Я честно пытаюсь ценить себя, свое тело. Хвалить за достижения и не ругать, если что-то не получается. Однако, если однажды ты уже усомнился в себе, то чувство вины тебя никогда не покинет. И остаётся лишь бороться с ним, стараясь принимать себя таким, каким ты являешься. С этими многочисленными родинками, волосами на теле, горбинкой на носу, странным телом. И это совсем не про #бодипозитив, это просто то, как мы все пытаемся ужиться в своём теле. ⠀ Тяжёлая тема, но, думаю, такая близкая каждому. 🧡 (at Moscow, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPX-aWnBrK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9ao3bu0nyt3r

#100daysofwriting, day thirty-six, 2021-07-06

Vacation time post. Today’s question:

The relationships you write, what kind of power-dynamics do they tend to have?

The daily questions are just an offer to give you an idea what to write about, you don't have to use them. You can talk about whatever you want and show off whatever you like. You can reblog from this post but I think it's better if you make your own post. Tag with #100daysofwriting, mention this blog, keep mature themes under a cut. Please let me know if you don’t want to be mentioned anymore. I like and reply to your posts as barbex.
