No Such Thing As Filler

Okay, so yes, this is another post based on something I saw that irritated me, but it seems like this idea keeps coming up, so I need y'all to internalize this. There is no such thing as filler in good writing. None. Do not approach your work thinking you have to fill space in a story, I will beat you with this wiffle bat. Don't ask me where I got the wiffle bat. Don't even worry about it.

The idea of filler comes from a very particular place - when an anime or TV show has to fit in a certain number of episodes, but doesn't have enough content (hasn't caught up with the manga, the source material isn't long enough, etc) to cover those episodes. An episode has to be written, but the characters can't really progress, and so are given something else to do. Many a trope has come from these episodes, and they're sometimes necessary. Filler in this context is something that makes sense.

The dark side of filler is the idea that you need some space between Big Event 1 and Big Event 2 in your story, therefore you need throw anything in there to take up space and make your word count. This is a mistake I've made and I've seen plenty of other writers do it too, but it's a huge waste of your time. You do need something between those big action scenes, but you should always be writing to accomplish something.

Instead of thinking of that writing as filler, try to approach it with three things in mind:

Move Forward With Character Development and Backstory - Your characters barely survived a huge gunfight, and they won't encounter the big bad again for another few chapters. How do your characters decompress from that gunfight, and what does that say about them? Did a cocky character go in guns blazing, only to be deeply shaken by how a real fight works? Did that fight spark a moment of deep trauma for the main character that they have to reflect on afterwards?

Filling this space with meaningless scenes is a huge waste of opportunity. Think about how to dive deeper into your characters.

Move Forward With Plot and Subplot Development - The bad guy beat the heroes to the stolen gem, but they left behind a clue to why they want it. However that clue could reveal some painful truths about the protagonist's beloved great aunt... Carmen Sandiego???

A major goal following a big action scene is having the characters figure out what to do with what they've learned and what to do next. It's where romance subplots or secret relative subplots make progress, when truths are revealed and next steps are taken. You can absolutely do this in any setting - a flirty conversation while at the battling cages, a tense moment of feelings while hunting down a wayward chicken - but your main goal is making progress for both the characters and plot.

Move Forward With Worldbuilding - Worldbuilding has it challenges, believe me. You don't want to write a chapter on how an airship works only to have to cut it later. But you should still try to flesh out your world, and you should do so with the perspective of how to use that worldbuilding to your benefit. Maybe a critical scene hinges on the main characters knowing how that airship works, or that lake your main character often stares at is the setting of the big Act 3 Boat Battle. The weather can play into both perspective and emotions. Knowing what the main character's house and car looks like can reflect a lot on their personal character or backstory.

When you're struggling with a scene or a chapter, rather than writing filler, take a few steps back and think. What can you establish with your worldbuilding? What can you reveal about your characters through their dialogue and actions? What subplot could you explore or add in these between moments?

Filler from a fandom perspective - Now let me make this clear - if you're writing a fanfic just to have a cute moment between the characters you like, or you really want to force everyone to do that weird Twilight baseball scene, that's fine. You don't need a grand goal to achieve for every story, there's no need to justify your fanwork in any way other than you wanted to do it.

But I'd also argue fanwork doesn't fall under the filler label either - something you create, be it a character snapshot or a 'what if the gang meets Slenderman' parody, isn't taking up meaningless space. It's something fun you did that you and others enjoy, and there's nothing wasteful or pointless about that.

does anyone else find it kinda weird that SPOP just casually dropped in the fact that there’s a Prince who can see ANYWHERE in the world magically, aka the perfect spy, and Glimmer just… didn’t think of recruiting him?

Why wasn’t Peekablue already part of the Rebellion??? What is he using his powers for that’s soooo important? He could literally see all of the Horde’s plans and warn the Rebellion and give them a HUGE leg up on them, and he wasn’t even mentioned until S5.

I know he was a hermit almost never seen but are you telling me Glimmer wouldn’t even TRY to find him and convince him to join?That’s a mystery in itself; where IS Peekablue, and why does no one care? Is he literally missing? Because if he’s literally missing, maybe someone should help him.

#Spop #she ra #spop critical #peekablue was a plot device and nothing more— but a poorly conceived one #a glaringly obvious last-minute addition/excuse for them to add filler #and I’m //assuming// peekablue probably came up in the writers room sometime before S5 so they had time to work that in #I think they didn’t want to give the Rebellion such a big advantage but they were extremely lazy in their justification #For why they didn’t have Peekablue— ‘he’s a hermit he’s missing’ so fucking find him?? #shouldn’t you be at least a little concerned if a magical prince vanishes? #at best he’s MIA at worst the Horde has him and is using him to spy on you. Which if that was a possibility— why not bring that up in S4? #that’s me giving them the benefit of the doubt. peekablue might not have come up in the writers room at all before the 5th season. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #I mean Magicats didn’t and Catra was the main antagonist/love interest. #I think the SPOP writers— or maybe just ND— are just not very good at their jobs

"We know nothing of them...yet we hope all humans achieve enough happiness to be able to share it with others."

"People are inherently good, even if they sometimes do bad things."

"The world is better for having humanity."

"He did not understand how something so terrible to see could be so gentle to hear."

"The child was frightened of the unknown. Learning is scary."

"He would have many more misunderstandings, many more selfish exchanges with gentle people who only appeared monstrous."

"His soul needed room for a monster."

"The desert is a place where one can see trillions of miles into the universe, yet still live invisibly."

Okay so hear me out: draco as a spy for the order.

He proves himself to the golden trio in fifth year, for reasons I have yet to explain but will figure out soon enough, and runs to Severus during the summer in between fifth and sixth year before he gets the dark mark. Snape calms him down and they figure out what draco wants to do moving forward and what would be the smartest thing to do while keeping his morals in tact. They figure out the spy solution.

So snape takes draco to the order and is like “he should be a spy” and everyone’s like “no 😠” at first but then dumbledore goes “yes 🤓” and everyone goes “yeah we were joking he can join our club 😁” (I’m being funny not serious. I am also seriously minimizing the amount of time all of this will take and the complexity of all of it, but follow along)

Does all of that make sense? You guys obviously can’t read my mind and have no idea what I’m going to do with the characters yet, but this solves a big plot hole that I was trying to figure out a way through.

entering the story and deciding it's your mission to save your favourite depressed, lowkey suicidal, losing-hope blorbo

#some people enter the story as a villain and want to NOT DIE #and others are isekai'd as background filler that just want the character they love to live and be happy #there are plenty of examples of this trope but i thought it would be funny to throw derelict favourite on there T-T #like bro there are legendary tier stories and comparing them to the regular ones in the genre is so so funny to me #compares solo leveling to like. spare me great lord #the difference a male vs female lead can make in comic content is sooooooo funny #like yeah the plots are like 80% the same tropes over and over #but that just makes it very funny #it's not a surprise that the romance genre in manwha tends to have fem leads but it is very funny #if you look for a male lead the universe stares into your soul and asks if you are looking for yaoi #XD #omniscient reader's viewpoint is enough romance for me #male leads that have no romantic interest and actively try to stay away from romance subplots in their isekai'd world are superior anyway #💥🦅🔥

I said I would do it, and I did it! A thinly veiled excuse to draw more cowboy Kaname morphed into postcard appreciation ft! the most desirable vacation locale in Bleach, obviously. And Ashido Kanou!! I felt bad only having him as a teeny 1 inch bull menos-rider in the background, so he gets to be the page ornamentation on the back <3  He is camping do not bother him <3 <3 <3

I’d love to do more of these in different locations with other underappreciated characters.

#kaname tosen #ashido kanou #bleach #my art #i feel so bad for my widdle filler guy </3 #babe your story was interesting and you deserved to be more than a filler character im so sorry the time constraints got to you #I WANNA READ MORE ABOUT THE HOBOSHINIGAMI EATING MUSHROOMS N BUGS IN THE WOODS #like! what's up with that! they just left him there! #also lbr this is just a straight up re-draw with extra polish of the first one i made #LOL #i'm allowed!!! #its not an au but god if it wouldn't be a good one

rewatching LoK, i'm being reminded how much I dislike the.... the brothers, mako and bolin, yanno? they're such underwhelming characters on basically every level. it'd almost be impressive if they weren't in every episode and didn't annoy me so much ugh

#bean talking into the void #also this show in general is very flawed lol #cool things about it but the choice to structure it more like a #prestige tv show #as in each season follows One Story #is... i wouldn't say it was a bad choice but i feel like you can see the growing pains #switching over from the episodic structure of ATLA #s1 while flawed is solid #it knows what it's trying to do even if it doesn't always stick the landing #season two feels like a season-long filler episode LMFAO #which is hilarious because a lot of world-building stuff happens #but tonally it's all over the place #serious political plots interspersed with the B Plot following Tenzin and his family #on vacation??? #so fucking random #but anyway back to roasting the brothers #i find bolin just annoying in general his brand of comedy totally doesn't work for me #but at least he has like #a personality that's consistent #mako is sooooooo blah #the writers have no idea what to do with him and he comes across as having a strikingly boring personality #with no defining traits other than being wishy washy (and a boot licker) #it FEELS like he was meant to remind viewers of Zuko #at least in appearance if nothing else #another broody pretty boy to latch onto #but he has literally nothing interesting to actually get invested in #sure he's got his tragic backstory and he's the 'older brother who took care of his younger brother after their parents died' boo hoo #but that's all just exposition and it's barely shown in a way that feels illustrative or emotional in any way that matters #(other than him comforting bolin in s1 after he KISSES THE GIRL HE KNEW BOLIN HAD A CRUSH ON lmfaoooooo) #(what a good big brother lmfao)

do you ever get an idea in your head and you can’t get it out unless you draw it. that’s what this is basically

also based on this scenario i came up with in a fit of Evilness

#is this canon? no #i wouldnt just kill nwb like that. let alone while he and ns are still in their enemies arc #but it’s really interesting for me to think about in terms of ns’ character #because at this point in their relationship they DO care. they just dont want to show it at all #and they’d only end up showing it if it was something serious like this where nwb would be hurt/dying #but it’d be too late to start caring about him. #anyway i also just like sodikken’s music i’ve had this song stuck in my head for a day #needed to get this shit out of my brain fr. consider this filler (evil filler) #myart #oc: no way back #oc: needless separation #myanimatics
