Big Suthen Turns to a Special Relationship for his new single 'My Lady'

Big Suthen is all about love and positivity!

Our newest single, 'My Lady' is a dedication to all the women that compliment a man. This song means so much to me because I found my backbone and needed to tell the world. This song will impact anybody that understands what it's like to have someone special in their life.

I started into the world of music about 12 years ago.

After collaborating with a friend on a song of his, I caught the music bug and started to learn about developing my own brand and music style. I used to write a lot of poetry and have multiple binders written today. I'm always inspired by life, people, and whatever gets my head and shoulders jumping.

What's one thing that you wish you knew from the start?

I wished I knew more about the business side of things. Knowing how to register music and publishing properly isn't as easy as once thought. A distributor helps, but there's still a lot to check on, from adding the proper metatags to making sure you're getting all the royalties you deserve.

Name a few artists who influence you to become a musician?

I am influenced by hip hop, blues, and 90's music. I grew up in the country but listened to willie nelson, bb king, boyz two men, and now j cole's or Dax. His music is great and motivating. All these artists push me to be in tune with my soulful side while concentrating on positivity.

What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome, and how did you get past it?

My biggest hurdle was when I lost my job five years ago. I went a whole year unemployed. With a new family and no money, it forced me to go out and get it. I changed my life around and directed my drive into my music. This has spilled over into the music y'all hear today. Also, I have a lot to say on my first studio album I'm currently working on.

The Rhythm and Blues feed the soul.

As life influences have been an inspiration to the music I create, you can tell 'My Lady' is more of a personal reflection of my heart. I often write about people with who I have connected in life.

Coming up...

I am currently recording my first album, which is called 'Hands in the Sand' (Working Title).

Artist: Big Suthen

New Release: My Lady

Genre: HipHop, R&B, World, Alternative Hip Hop

Sounds like: : I feel that I have my own style, but gain my influence from Life.

Cipher's Event Logs: Gracidea Flower (Part 2)

I have to cut these journal entries short … maybe two more because I have to leave after the event's done. Anyways I ordered the Pink Lover's Delight and started to notice something odd when I glanced at my phone screen. Wait … why am I seeing pink? I thought to myself then I took a quick trip to the restroom and lo and behold I have turned pink! I tried washing my face to clean it off but it seemed like my fur was permanently dyed pink. Of course, I really thought this wouldn't go away. Jeez, I was red all over or … magenta for that matter when I exited the restroom …

Suthen seemed to notice as soon as I went back to their table and said I looked cuter. He was … always quite the charmer … and he actually laughed when I told him it was from a drink. That admittedly made me embarrassed way more …

Anyways he also thanked me for the flower and kissed me on the forehead making me cover my face with my paws … yeah, kisses are really my weakness. I did say to him that the flower meant that I treasured him very well so I wasn't really surprised when he did that …

I did meet quite a lot of guests after that whole ordeal, too many to put into one journal to be exact …

So I met two Gardevoirs, one I haven't met before I think her name was Willow if I recall correctly. Just some small talk like introducing each other so not much to say. Another one, who I knew a while back, was Grace. I have to admit our first encounter wasn't the best but she was good at hugging. Now she seemed to be on a date with someone so I just let her be and just exchanged a few words.

Next was a Gothitelle named Bea, she and her partner's(?) clothes looked really sophisticated and they seemed to be in quite a hurry. I just complimented her dress and moved on but she seemed to take it pretty well. Maybe in the event, I can actually get to have at least some small talk with her.

And last for this journal entry, there was Luxu and his friend, Azira. Two darling Darkrai children and seemed happy to meet me, especially Luxu who even gave me some flowers. Who knew he recognized me as one of Big Guy's friends? Azira, on the other hand, was a very curious one. She did think my phone was a plaything but I didn't mind the confusion. She is still a kid after all and it's nice seeing her have friendly bonding together with Luxu. Which reminds me ... I wonder how the folks over at their island are doing… probably should pay them a visit anytime soon. I guess Big Guy is pretty busy so he can't come to the event.

I should probably end this journal entry here, besides I got quite a lot more 'mons to talk about. Take this as a second to last entry … and Suthen seems to be calling me for something so there's that.

Featured Characters:

Suthen from @divine--tragedy

Willow from @gothic-gardevoir

Grace from @bubamon

Bea from @ask-hollow-mask

Azira from @house-of-hemingway

Luxu from @asktheisle

17-20 Soven? Owo

(Will reblog on @munval-harasses)

17- Who is the person they hate most in the world?

Soven honestly has a big amount of hatred for his younger brother, Sion. That's honestly the only person he'd get in a fight with on sight.

20- Who is the person they love the most in the world?

At the moment, it's Jolly and his older brother, Suthen. Jolly was with him all the 7 years of Afterlife, and well, Suthen has been with him since he was born.

001: suthmaud!!

Ah!! the MOST meta of Macbeth ships while still technically being a macbeth ship. For all those who don’t know, Suthen is the queen, Lady Duncan, and Maud is Lady Banquo. They don’t appear in the play, but we on the server have really... decided they exist and have personalities... cause this play needs more women. We didn’t make up their names; these were the names given to them by history.

Suthen is also Siward’s sister, and Maud (in headcanon at least) is Duncan’s sister.

when I started shipping it if I did:

Someone on the macbeth server decided it was a good idea and I already had Maud as bisexual so I was like hell yeah

my thoughts:

Mom otp. two sweet girls trying to make their way in life. Maud is a little chaotic and Suth is a little sad but they love eachother and their sons.

What makes me happy about them:

Their energies fit well together!! Maud is always inclined to see the positive and takes no shit from people. Suthen, as mentioned before, is a bit sadgirl hours since she was forced out of her homeland to go marry some Scottish guy she didn’t even know, fortunately the groom’s sister is really nice and won’t stop talking to her throughout the entire reception!!

What makes me sad about them:

Suthen’s husband isn’t nice to her or her children :( And Maud unfortunately dies giving birth to her second child, who was stillborn... Suthen ends up fleeing Scotland in despair after this, holing up with Siward in Northumbria, unfortunately leaving her sons alone with their shitty father... :((( I wish Suth had taken the kids tbh. That was not the best move... But yeah her gf die and she sad :(((

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

Bruh do you really think this ship has fanfics lmaoooo

things I look for in fanfic:

See above ^

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

I am... not a multi shipper usually, as you may have found out ^^; Though some sort of ship switch-up involving Lady Macbeth and Lady Macduff might be interesting lol... my money is on Lady Beth/Suthen and Lady Duff/Maud. It’s a crack ship, but it could be cute.

My happily ever after for them:

Maud does Not Die, and they run away with Malcolm and Donalbain to go be forest witches or something. They raise their kids and are happy and gay and have a great time.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

Maud is v short so she’s the little spoon. Suthen can definitely pick up her gf. Tall Norwegian girl genes

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

Snuggling is always nice... Especially on a cold day in winter when your husbands are away... Light the fires and fall asleep together...

HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW THAT BIG ASS BEAST KISSED YOU?

Cipher blushes deeply, his face a bright red as he was kissed by Suthen. He is unable to speak or react due to being flustered.

“... ...”

His grip on Suthen weakens as he is overwhelmed by what is currently happening.

“S-Suthen ... ?”

Crash Course in Dialogue, Part I

Writers tend to stress a character’s actions as the most important way to show who they are, but creating effective, interesting dialogue is just as important to a great story. Good dialogue can illustrate interpersonal relationships, reveal fears characters don’t even know they have, show development, and so much more. At the same time—and maybe more importantly—bad dialogue sticks out like a sore thumb, making readers uncomfortable and unwilling to get invested in your narrative. Your prose might be amazing, but if your characters can’t communicate, it’s going to put people off.

But never fear! Here are a few handy tricks to writing amazing dialogue that will get your characters saying what they mean or misdirecting like a pro, all while drawing your reader successfully into the story.

Creating Unique Voices

When you start writing dialogue, one of the most important things to keep in mind is that your characters should all sound different from one another. Just based on their words alone, a reader should be able to tell whether your character’s personality is bubbly or gloomy, if they feel comfortable with the people around them, if they’re in pain, what kind of education they have, and so much more. You want these factors to be unique for each character, even if they were raised together or come from a similar background.

A great test is to write down only the spoken part of your dialogue, without any speech tags (he said/she said, etc.). Does each character sound distinct? Can you tell whose lines are whose just based on what they say, without the surrounding context clues?

If not, try some of the techniques below. There are so many ways to say the same thing differently—and reveal your characters’ history, personality, and quirks at the same time!

Techniques

Using lots of big words like abysmal, paramount, satiate, ubiquitous, etc.

This can make a character sound more educated, imply a wealthier upbringing, or show the care he puts into communicating. Or, it can make him sound pretentious, and become a trait that annoys your other characters. Just be careful your character doesn’t come off like a weirdo carrying around a thesaurus in their pocket (unless that’s what you’re going for, of course!)

Character 1: His rant was just the shameful rambling of a crazy old man. Character 2: The display was simply the ignominious drivel of a deranged geriatric man.

Using clipped speech—only a few words at a time, monosyllabic answers

Quiet characters, characters who don’t like their companions, characters who are in pain, and characters with something to hide might not want to have long conversations where they bare their soul to others.

Character 1: I really don’t think so. I’m sure I’d remember an intense reaction like that. Character 2: No.

Using terms of endearment or pet names—babe, sweetheart, bro, dude, pal

Depending on how these are used, your character can come across as warm and fuzzy, sarcastic, flirty, or evil and taunting.

Bonus: if your character is angry or distracted, they can leave off the pet names they usually call their friends. This is a good way to reveal to a reader—and other characters—that something fishy is up.

Character 1: Can you toss me that pencil? Character 2: Hey babe, be a sweetie and toss me that pencil? Character 3: Uh, that’s my pencil, pal. Character 4: Toss me that pencil, bro!

Speaking formally versus informally with contractions

Is your character uncomfortable around present company? Are they trying to act extremely professional to prove they’re qualified for their job, or still recovering from a strict, affectionless upbringing? If so, making their speech more formal can help convey what’s going on.

Character 1: Admittedly, I have been wondering much the same thing. I will look into it. Character 2: Yeah, I’ve been wondering that too. I’m gonna check it out.

Swearing

Depending on context, characters who curse can sound meaner, rougher, cooler, more laid-back, and even funnier than the people around them who don’t.

When using curse words, be aware of your audience. If you’re writing for kids or younger teens, you may get some pushback.

Remember that these words are sometimes at their most powerful when they’re not overused. When your sweet character finally snaps and mutters something really strong under her breath, you’ll know she’s at the end of her rope.

Think of Simon finally confronting Martin in the movie Love, Simon—if Leah (who swears all the time in the book’s sequel) told Martin to f*ck off, it wouldn’t have anywhere near the same impact.

And yet, in The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater, Ronan’s glee at swearing is one of the things that sets him apart from the more polite Gansey and Adam.

Try this:

Sit in a public place where people talk—a coffee shop, a food court at the mall, a break at school—and listen to a conversation. Write down what you hear—every little um or ah, pronunciations, pauses, stutters, repetitions. How do words, fillers, and phrases shape the distinct voices of the people you’re listening to?

Using Accents and Dialects

Another great way to make characters sound different is to give them accents or let them speak in dialects. If your character is from the South, he’d have a Southern drawl; if she’s from the India, she’s not going to sound like your classmates from Connecticut. But how can you capture a voice like that without making your writing sloppy or distracting (or exaggerating it into an offensive caricature)? Passages like the following, from Huckleberry Finn, certainly take a lot of concentration to read:

“Oh, Huck, I bust out a-cryin’ en grab her up in my arms, en say, ‘Oh, de po’ little thing! De Lord God Amighty fogive po’ ole Jim, kaze he never gwyne to fogive hisself as long’s he live!’ Oh, she was plumb deef en dumb, Huck, plumb deef en dumb—en I’d ben atreat’n her so!”

A general rule, using features other than phonetic spelling to show how characters speak differently can communicate the same information in a less distracting way:

Diction/word choice: Taylor from New York eats fries for lunch and chips as a snack, but Henry from London eats chips for lunch and crisps from the vending machine during his break at work.

Syntax/word order: Someone whose native language is English will likely say “the brown shoes” or “the white fence,” but if your heroine was born in France and learned English not long ago, she might say “I was wearing my shoes which are brown” or “the fence that is white stands behind the house”

Idioms: Different places have different expressions that mean more than what they look like. While you’d say you’re “buttering someone up,” someone who speaks Spanish might say they’re “stroking his beard.” Research idioms that would be a natural part of your character’s speech—or, make up your own!

Some phonetic spellings and slang, every once in a while, do a great job of signaling a continuing accent: s’pose, ain’t, ya, dahlin’. But if what you’ve written takes any amount of real concentration to decode, it’s going to be annoying, not helpful or cool. In other words, if your main character has a lisp, tharting every thentence like thith ith going to get really fruthtrating, really fatht. An’ writin’ an o’er-exaggera’ed Cockney accen’, owr a loooong Suthen draaaawl, is sure to get on your reader’s nerves as well.

If your protagonist’s baby sister with three lines has a lisp and says, “Thamantha, read me a thtory” or her great-auntie from Georgia bemoans, “Lawdy-me, it shaw is hawt in hea today” once in 300 pages, though, you’re probably good.

If you want an example of dialects and pronunciation done really well, check out the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness. Protagonist Todd Hewitt grew up in a primitive settlement and can’t read—while always completely understandable, he does say “ain’t” all the time, and occasionally throws in misspellings like “creacher” and “recognishun.” The sections narrated by his friend Viola are more grammatically correct, because while Todd was doing farm work, she was attending school. And people Todd meets with even less schooling than him talk like this: “Ah kin give y’all a ride thrus. If ya want.” (But these characters don’t pop up very often, so the style doesn’t become distracting—instead, it highlights the differences between outsiders and the protagonists.)

A note of caution:

Remember that African American Vernacular English, American Sign Language, and other variations/translations of English have their own complex rules. If you aren’t familiar with a dialect you’re writing, don’t just simplify standard English, throw in an extra “be,” or take out some helping verbs. If your character uses one of these, do some extra research to make sure your dialogue is accurate.

Include the Right Kind of Content

So now you’ve decided how your character talks—but what should they say? Here are a few things to avoid: small talk, excessive info dumps, drawn-out background information, and background conversations. (Like most rules of writing, these can and should be broken if you have a good reason, but in general, they can be helpful in moving a story along and keeping it interesting.)

Instead of the characters taking up valuable space and audience attention on pleasantries, focus on the real meat of the conversation. Alfred Hitchcock once said something to the effect of, “Drama is real life with all the boring parts cut out.” Which would you want to read about? A character describing her brunch of thick, fluffy pancakes to her mother in mouth-watering detail?* Or the moment she asks her mother for $500—the third time this month—to cover her outrageous credit card debts? As the writer, you have the privilege and responsibility to pick the important moments to pass on to the reader—the ones that are important to the plot later, that develop the characters, that are memorable and exciting. Be kind to them—and yourself—by carefully judging what’s worth everyone’s time.

This then gives you an opportunity to work something else essential into your conversation—conflict. It’s very hard to make a compelling conversation where each character agrees with everything said before them. Just because “yes, and” works for improv, doesn’t mean it’s the best strategy for dialogue in fiction—instead, put your characters against each other. If they have opposing goals, or even slightly different takes on a situation, you’ll be able to flush out both viewpoints and push them to an interesting breaking point much easier than if they simply build on whatever the other says.

It can also be tempting to save long, detailed explanations for dialogue—especially when it comes to worldbuilding in sci-fi or fantasy. If you have a physics professor who’s perfected time travel or an old witch who’s worked out everything about magic, it would be easy to give them a few pages to give the specifics to your clueless protagonist. But unless you can’t get your story to work any other way, try not to do this—long descriptions tend to end up pretty boring, and hard to follow and remember. Instead, let your reader pick up fewer details at a time from different people, or see how things work for themselves. In the first Harry Potter, Hagrid doesn’t explain everything about being a wizard to Harry—readers get to experience the many magical details firsthand through Harry’s eyes in Diagon Alley, and then later at Hogwarts.

*Note: If your character is a cook and criticizes the pancakes because he could obviously do better, or if she grew up in poverty and is promising her mother she’ll move back home and take her to brunch every morning once she gets one more paycheck, this is obviously fine. So is her describing how great she thought the pancakes were if it turns out they were actually poisoned, and next thing she knows she’s waking up from a 10-year coma. And so on... Find exciting exceptions!

Try this:

Listen to a scene from your favorite movie and think about what’s included and what’s not. Do both characters greet each other and ask how the other has been, or do they jump right into the deal they need to make? Does one character agree with everything the other says, or do they disagree frequently?
