More information regarding my little borrower AU

It goes like this:

The Narrator is a “retired” animal behavioral scientist. His career ended several years ago when he was terminated from his position at a prestigious lab.

Now, he lives alone in an average sized house in the country, away from the activity and noise of the city, away from judgemental stares and whispered words behind his back.

He is safe here. He doesn’t have to worry about what anyone thinks. He is quite comfortable staying right where he is - thank you very much.

A dear friend even stops by to drop off groceries for him once a week.

One week, he receives an unexpected item amongst his delivery.

hc one the Flags’ fav drunk activities is picking out the craziest Lippmann fanfiction they can find and then one person narrates it

(note: Chuuya is the worst narrator bc he goes “what the fuck I’m not saying that lemme skip that” every time he sees a cringey line and Iceman is the best narrator bc he’s the only one who can maintain composure and keep a level tone from start to finish)

@BILLBOARD ON YOUTUBE: THE BACKGROUND MUSIC OF BATTLE OF THE BANDS (PART ONE) [we open up on angela from the band 'let's do this'. she's sitting cross-legged on a chair looking at someone behind the camera, looking excited.] patrick [offscreen]: so. what songs are you listening to right now? angela: whoa. like, not my own? patrick: i mean, if you want. angela: because, realistically, that's all i'm listening to as we rehearse. patrick: right, makes sense. just, like, what are your top songs? angela: ever? oh my god... i feel like this is a loaded question now that i actually have skin in the game. like we could collab with these people one day, you know? patrick [deadpan]: you think you might collab with abba? angela [face dropping, seeming embarrassed]: sh - shut up!

[not-poignant]

Hey, hey! Random kind-of-writer here, who struggles to bring words on paper and looking for help/advice? I think I finally found my problem, which comes in the shape of 'my third person pov writing sounds like an ikea building instruction'. AKA: All that what the pov character perceives is there, things are happening/the plot is there but the writing kind of lacks thoughts/feeling/inner monolog? For years I've followed your stories and I look up to your writings skills. Especially you handling of pov and that gorgeous mixture of what the character perceives and what is happening in their head. Do you have maybe any tips/insight how do you find a balance?

Hi anon!

So firstly I'm going to point you to my dialogue research post that I put up recently, because dialogue research applies to a characters inner dialogue as well, and will kind of give you a guide as to how they're likely to be talking in their heads. (How I write as the narrator in A Stain that Won't Dissolve is actually somewhat similar to how Alex speaks, I even go out of my way not to use certain words if I don't think Alex would know what they mean).

Otherwise there's several approaches you can take.

You can imagine that the character is basically writing a journal entry or a diary entry. The narrator is, in a way, piggy backing off that. You're a fly on the wall of a character's brain. Sometimes they're going to have lots of thoughts, sometimes they're going to have none. Sometimes my characters are literally just narrating what's happening no thoughts attached, sometimes they're narrating with thoughts attached, and sometimes they're just thinking about stuff and missing what's going on in front of them.

Diary entries are like that too. They can vary from 'today I did this, did this, walked the dog, had this for dinner, and read some of this book' to 'oh my GOD I HATE this person sO MUCH and I really can't BELIEVE this is happening to me omg the DOG needs to be walked I keep FORGETTING.'

Somewhere in there, is your character.

Some characters are more - for lack of a better word - detached or utilitarian than others, some have their voices 'come to life' over the course of a story, because they're growing (Gwyn can be a bit like this).

Some characters are very observational, some are stuck in their heads. Some ground themselves through noticing their surroundings, others notice how other people are acting and behaving (especially true with trauma, Astarion notices setting way less than he notices how people are behaving around him).

It might help you to write down some little sentences like 'this character notices people a lot because people hurt them' or 'this character looks for nature because they like nature' or 'this character is very sensitive to smells so they constantly are aware of how things smell.'

From there, I am very sorry to say, it's just a matter of practice! This stuff becomes easier the more you do it. At first, it will be normal for the characters to feel a bit mechanical and not very natural, and that's because you're still building the skills you need to bring them to life from the ground up. Most writers don't have these skills even if they know what they're supposed to be learning, and they can only be learned through trying, making some mistakes, having some successes, and keeping on with the words.

How you write the first paragraph of a character this year, will be very different to next year, if you just keep writing.

Unfortunately, you can't skip past that part either. I can give you lots of tips, and you can do lots of research and guidance for yourself, but at the end of the day the best way to make it feel natural and have some depth, is to actually just keep writing characters and reflecting on what you've written, notice the paragraphs you like as well as the ones you don't, and building and building from there.

I wish you all the words, anon! It's normal to feel dissatisfied with your writing sometimes, that means you know you have room to grow - but the best thing is, you're already growing if you're noticing this stuff!!! That's actually a positive! You'll go through periods of feeling satisfied, and then dissatisfied, if you keep on keeping on, and looking at what the writers you love are doing, you'll eventually really just pick it up until it feels quite natural to you <3

Percy is a misogynist??

But yeah, I definitely agree that some of Percabeth's writing is iffy when you consider one of them is a survivor of domestic abuse and is constantly considered stupid for his ADHD and dyslexia.

percy has some questionable moments. he disses the aphrodite cabin, on circe's island he says that the worst thing ever is that annabeth is dressed up and wearing makeup, he acts controlling over annabeth's choices in ttc, he frequently says girls mess things up and make things complicated.

ofc this is rick's bias* (and why it's important to address ur fav author's implicit biases), so i don't really think percy is a misogynist, but if someone really wanted to they could use these moments to make that argument. similar to how u could, in theory, argue that the iffy moments w percy and annabeth mean the ship is abusive. do i really think that? no, i mean their relationship is built on mutual respect, but these moments being romanticized is frustrating given the exact context u said.

#i don't think i've rbed posts abt percy's narration specifically either?? i have one in queue talking abt ttc and that's it i think #rr crit #answered #*all of these moments have a pattern that extends outside of percy's narration and/or is not punished/refuted in the narrative #which is why it's a bias and not a character flaw. thanks for coming to my tedtalk

N: Classic ridley narrator rage issues! You're definitely my girl!

N: Happy birthday kiddo! What are you gonna wish for?

432: Friends...

N and 432 (in an overly excited tone): Daddy abandonment issues, YEAH!
