#speak with no hesitation ( interactions );

[elegyofthemoon]

was going to try to sit out the sickness and not bug people but it started getting bad and asked my friend for stuff to help and he prepped a whole get better bag for me what the fuck 😭

#same friend as last night while i was doing laundry i aslfjshalkfsjhkjh #friends tag #i just wanted some cough drops or something for my throat why tf did he give me tea???? #i did need that though... #he also gave me a shitton of cough drops ill be fine #im showering and then just playing star rail for the day so ✌🏼 #snow speaks #for how prickly my friend could be (like deadass will not hesitate to throw shade at EVERYONE) #literally my first interaction with him was him immediately complaining about how shit the city was and i was like :D ok! #hes such a good and sweet dude #ig so long as youre on his good side 🤭

Here I was mentally steeling myself to be rabid over Mauga on main finally

#Ramattra #No hesitation on the F/O list I love him #but he does not love me dfkjgkdfjgkfd #For I am skin and bones and flesh and blood all that he despises #No I'm so abnormal about him sit down bestie sit down I need to be weird #I cannot wait to hear his interactions with Zenyatta they have to have multipul interactions right out the gate #One's where they call one another Brother and Old Friend and Zenyatta speaks so soft to ask what has become of him #Interactions where Ramattra ask Zenyatta to join him to leave Overwatch to leave the humans the ones who hurt us who took our family from u #Interactions where Zenyatta asks Ramattra to remember Mondatta's teachings to put down his weapon to trust in them again #Interactions where Ramattra lements about the humans who took Mondatta from them took his family from them took EVERYTHING from them #but also... #Interactions where we're in Quick Play and they get to be together again #Brothers on the same side of a fake fight in a video game #Interactions where they remind eachother of snowball fights on temple grounds or sneaking out of meditations early #Interactions where they laugh Interactions where they joke Interactions where they remember the childhoods they made for themselves #I want to hear Ramattra so proud of Orisa and Bastion for finding themselves homes off the battle field #Even if their family is human... They found themselves out there with this family of skin and bones and flesh #I want him to be so happy for them even if he can't approve of Torbjorn or Eifi #I want him to welcome Genji into his family with open arms #A friend of my brother is a friend of mine no matter the side this war may take #I want him to see the Genji we see the one who is not half man half machine like Zarya may claim but the one who is Genji #Who is happy who trains with Zenyatta and laughs happy in his skin made of metal with his lungs made of flesh #I want him to just be... so nice... and so bitter at the same time... #He wants the world at peace he wants his family safe he wants to stop fighting he wants to rest in a cold temple in Nepal again #Built and Raised in a war part of the first and only generation of Omnics.... #I hope he gets a happy ending...

as the time approaches us, i just wanted to say that i am IMMEDIATEY sus of anyone who does not have an F mc (mainly @ those who have an mc for each ro EXCEPT F Hauville) and/or (doubly sus) doesn’t have any F content on their blog. 

as someone who's also black myself I definitely agree with the F hauville not being as popular, specially since friends to lovers seems to be quite a popular trope in if, specially when the character in question is white or ambiguously light brown/tan skinned, but the author never mentions where the character is actually from (I wish more authors put where the character is from in terms of ethnicity and nationality because the amount of white washed art/erased ethnic features in art I've seen generally in the IF community is not cute but anyways). I do have some problems with the way F and M are portrayed and treated by the author at times, specially when it comes to some of the racial stereotypes used and the portrayal of Sin, an assyrian character in Book 3 as a trapped man, but that's a point for another day. I absolutely adore Wayhaven but I do wish that F was treated better by the fandom. I think sometimes some fans kind of infantilise F and just brush them off as the sassy best friend with no other role in the story, which is kind of sad because if you actually play they're route you get to see that theres more to them than meets the eye in the same way that the other ros do.

why do i need to say more when you already said it all so well anon?

bloop! what more can i say to this? this is true facts. like i get that sometimes a lot of people ARE tired of that trope -- especially on tumblr; and people do love the angsty. But it is STILL a very popular trope for a reason. And I've seen with my own eyes how the sweet RO/best friend RO goes well over when they aren't black (and in certain circumstances, when they aren't a person of color period -- but especially when they aren't black*) that I can't fully buy that the preference argument isn't back with some racial bias. But whatever, people can make peace with themselves about it. I will remain sus.

have you been reading my brain anon? because that was going to be my NEXT bitchy/vent post. But I was like let me pace the dashes. But respect for put it all out there.

I need writers to bring back putting descriptions on their intro posts (they did it for a time but stopped) or doing a description post immediately. 1) Because of what you stated and 2) because I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time on a game that is fully white. /shrugs. I mean I guess it is good that, if they feel they can't write minoroities not to include them at all -- because as you said, I wouldn't want to invest in a story where the black and brown characters are then treated stereotypically. But that still doesn't mean that I want to read a story where the majority is white and the lone amibigously brown/East Asian RO is barely developed.

No, do go on anon. (When you feel like it that is!) I'd love to read your thoughts. I do think Sera has improved in respects of her writing of F and M as characters in the story, both in and out of their own routes. However, I do agree that the whole Sin thing did make me side-eye hard. I heard she's gotten sensitivity readers, so we shall see how that goes.

Well stated. This is, in the crux, is my frustration of the matter. That and the fact that this is STILL an issue. As I stated in my tags, I HAVE seen improvement -- but just going through the F Hauville tag shows how much F is still a general afterthought to the general tumblr fandom.

#f hauville #twc #interactive fiction #my anons are so big brained #how about yours? #grapecase answers #the wayhaven chronicles #twc meta #*now there are exceptions: leo from lure of the gallows is a very popular black best friend ro #(but from what i can recall leo isn't dark skiinned. and leo is also the ONLY one i can think of) #speaking of that infantalization is why i was hesitant to reblog that one f fanart #with the arrow #it is interesting how experience shapes one's outlook -- bc as a black person that was immediately in the forefront of my mind #like if reblogging an art where f looks younger was enabling the treatment #i ended up reblogging it bc i didnt feel anything malicious wa meant but it's a reminder of how different our fandom experience is from a #white person's. #especially re: characters that look like us #and it sucks. and its tiring #(i mean sometimes it can be joy. and i love being black and lauding black characters. but man fandom is such such an intense microcosm of #the real world. and taht can be so annoying. #especially with how some of yall engage -- smh.)

one thing they dont tell you about being transmasc is that theres a certain point of "passing" where people will start to treat you with inherent fear and distrust. not just women and other queer people, but other men, too. its important to remind yourself that your masculinity does not make you inherently dangerous or evil, but its also important to put empathy at the forefront of your interactions with others, even when its difficult to do so. we have a unique perspective in experiencing both sides of that fear and having a deep understanding of where it comes from and why, and that empowers us to interact with others in a way that makes them feel safe, seen, and respected - even if it means stepping back to remind yourself not to take their fear or distrust personally, but to consider it so you can better empathize and connect with them.

#its also up to us who pass to speak up when possible #and safe of course #but i have noticed that now that i pass i can call other men out on bigoted or toxic behavior and actually successfully shut them down #creating and maintaining an environment of safety and respect is a group effort and we gotta do our part lads #trans #trans man #and i almost hesitate to make this post bc of all the shit about transandrophobia going around on this site which #i dont even interact with that shit #if you think trans men are the problem then you dont have the critical thinking or reading comprehension skills to engage with me #anyway trans men i love you stay safe stay brave stay beautiful

also, since i have jane & chrissy on here, i just wanted to go ahead & say that i will NOT be interacting with any will byers unless they use a different faceclaim, due to noah's stance on genocide.

#☾ ˙ ˖ ✧ azriel speaks. #i'm hesitant about canon interactions to begin with #just because the rpc is a hot fucking mess #so i will likely stick to au things for jane & chrissy #with the exception of my long term st mutuals who are lovely

I've been thinking of closing this blog for a while and opening a new blog for my Bright rewrite instead ever since the movement to erase/rewrite character Bright started happening.

Idk. It's just that I've been feeling weird about using Jack. I've been feeling weird about using Jack for a while now actually. Shrugs.

#mod speaks #//I've been hesitating tbh because i wrote a lot here and i dont have the heart to abandon it and stuff #and the interactions i have with other characters and other players have been amazing but like #yea #idk #idk what im doing

[why-so-melxncholy]

As an artist here, I'm just gonna say it: Likes don't do a single thing on this site. Likes do not get my work seen by others. Tumblr's algorithm doesn't work that way. Your likes aren't visible to others unless you make them, and... not a whole lot of people here have their likes open to the public.

If you like someone's work, spread it around! Reblogs are the best way to be noticed on this site. I'm not sure what happened in the past that everyone is so reluctant to reblog artwork but... help out your artists and pass their work around. Please.

#🥀 [ ❝ alli speaks ❞ ] (my post) #📢 [ ❝ is this thing on? hello? ❞ ] (PSA) #( the ratio of likes and reblogs on my work is . crazy tbh #im not a popular artist by any means but man. its like the only person rbing my art is me #idk what happened to tumblr tbh like why are people so hesitant to interact and rb stuff now )

The kids love me for my neurodivergent swag

#monologuing #idk i feel like the reason i'm better with kids than people my age is bc i'm neurodivergent in some way #adults are so concerned with apparent normalcy so they have so much difficulty with children #idk if i'm autistic or not. the resources to find out just isnt there for me and i dont want to diagnose myself #but whenever i have to interact with young kids i just go autism mode and the kids love it #just go sillay! dont dismiss their interest! engage and actually talk with em! #also i'm really hesitant to categorize whats nd behavior and not bc the standards in this website are very. western #here it's more categorized as a learning disability. people are still very cruel to nd ppl here #but ppl accept eccentricities here! my hs friend gestures a lot and has a different way of speaking and shes pretty popular #a good amount of relatives in my family has vocal tics. mom and dad and my aunt and uncle makes weird noises at the regular #i'm confused over what this site labels as 'weied' because here theyre just. quirks people pay no mind to #anyway yeah be silly to young kids they love it #i turn into an entertainer in front of kids even though i worry about their opinions about me. which is dumb i know GDMGKGKZKGKDK

Wifey!Reader who's always too tired for sex X Mafia!König

Konig wonders what the hell get you so tired all of the time. He is the head of the most famous mafia family in the city, he literally has daily executions of the enemies lined up as a bucket list, but he still gets home and has the energy to fuck his precious stay-at-home wife...only that the wife doesn't have energy for him. Now, we all know the jokes about mafia bosses and their wives fucking hot bodyguards and rookies from the gang, but Konig knows you're faithful - the cameras and tracking devices are prooving your loyalty, as you never have as much as a maid interacts with you throughout the day. You're just...tired. Exhausted. He got you the best doctors his money could buy, and his answer was to leave you to rest and hope that the lavish lifestyle of a stay-at-home mafia wife is going to somehow enhance your libido and ability to last under your husband. It's no secret that Konig is big - sometimes you want to initiate sex, but you get tired even thinking about all the prep you will need to have...you just go thank you, but no thank you - and you really, really want to be the best girl out here for him, but sometimes you fall asleep during the foreplay and he kinda has to respectfully lay you on the giant bed and go and blow the brains of one of the guys in a torture chamber. Konig won't hesitate to force you after some time, however. He wants you to make love to him, and soon enough, no excuses of you being too tired are going to work. He will have you spread your legs for his even if this is the last thing you're going to do - and no, you won't get to say in this, unfortunately. Konig is forceful and aggressive and you feel sore as he pounds into you, speaking of how much he missed the feeling of your cunt clinging to him...god, he fucking adores you. Too bad that a pretty thing like you thinks that you can just ignore his manly needs... He often makes you cockwarm him in case you're too tired for a regular sex - he likes the feeling of your pussy squeezing him and your body sitting lightly on his lap, so he would do his best to not fuck you too roughly while you're sitting on him, your head pressed on his chest like you're a small, precious little animal. God, you're fucking adorable - and even if some of his crooks are entering to ask whatever the hell boss was doing, Konig won't allow anyone to make you too embarrassed to cockwarm him.

Let's talk about character voices.

Giving a character a unique voice in your writing involves several elements, including word choice, sentence structure, dialogue quirks, and mannerisms. By incorporating these elements into your writing, you can create characters with distinct voices that resonate with readers and bring your story to life.

Here are some tips to help you create distinctive voices for your characters:

Distinct Vocabulary: Choose words that reflect the character's background, personality, and education level. Consider their profession, interests, and experiences when selecting vocabulary. For example, a well-educated professor would likely use more sophisticated language.

Dialogue Quirks: Give each character specific speech patterns or quirks that set them apart. This could include repeated phrases, stuttering, using or avoiding contractions, or speaking in a particular dialect or accent. Be careful not to overdo it, though, as too much can become distracting.

Sentence Structure: Pay attention to the rhythm and structure of their sentences. Some characters might speak in short, abrupt sentences, while others might use long, flowing ones. This can convey their confidence, hesitation, or urgency.

Internal Monologue: Show the character's unique thought process through their internal monologue. This can help readers understand their motivations, fears, and desires, further distinguishing them from other characters. (This may not necessarily apply to your story if you're writing in a third person omniscient perspective, or if you intend to exclusively follow the internal monologue of the main character.)

Physical Gestures and Actions: Incorporate the character's physical gestures and actions into their dialogue to add depth to their voice. For example, a nervous character might fidget, slouch, or avoid eye contact while speaking, while a confident character might stand tall and make direct eye contact.

Background and History: Consider the character's background and history when crafting their voice. Their upbringing, cultural influences, and past experiences can all shape the way they speak and interact with others.

Consistency: It's important to maintain consistency in the character's voice throughout the story. Pay attention to their speech patterns, vocabulary, and mannerisms to ensure they remain true to their established personality.

Listen to Real Conversations: Pay attention to how people speak in real life, including their tone, vocabulary, and speech patterns. Drawing inspiration from real conversations can help you create authentic and believable dialogue for your characters.

Read Aloud: Reading your dialogue aloud can help you identify areas where the character's voice may not sound authentic. If it doesn't sound like something they would say, revise.

Avoid Stereotypes: While it's okay to draw inspiration from archetypes, be careful not to rely too heavily on stereotypes. Instead, strive to create complex, multidimensional characters with unique voices.

Hope this helps!
