Well I am officially off of work. My body’s request for a nap can now be processed. Everything points to the issue being resolved in a timely manner. This will result in a well rested brain. Once brain is well rested we can beginning working on request to write the next chapter of big vampire lady fic.

Let us see how Failing Grace goes this weekend. If real life permits that is.

Fun Fact Friday pt.2

Thank you to the lovely @bardic-tales for tagging us in these! We have once again remembered these and are doing this on actually Friday, bc yay!

Check out her response here! c:

Rules: List as many fun facts about your OCs, writing process, or WIPs as you want

Just like last time, we will be doing three facts each for the WIP itself, the Characters, and the writing process! :D

Content Tag List (ask to be added or removed) @a-completely-normal-writer | @aalinaaaaaa | @autumnalwalker | @bardic-tales | @emersonjydestein | @enchanted-lightning-aes | @fearofahumanplanet | @howsweetthewords |@jessica-writes22 | @junypr-camus | @lockejhaven | @midnight-and-his-melodiverse | @papercutsunset | @perasperaadastrawriting | @talesofsorrowandofruin

For this week, we think we will focus on one of our newest WIPs to be introduced, The Rapunzel Witch!

The Work In Progress:

This story was honestly supposed to just be a tiny drabble or short story about the shenanigans of a Queen, a Knight, and the Rapunzel who would really rather just stay in the Tower. Long story short: things got way out of hand.

The story is more going to be scenes ands soft plot points, since we really want this story to be a little more soft work and fickle timelines like normal fairytale retellings.

Honestly, this is one of the few stories where we don't have a clear path forward, and we are, for all intents and purposes, just absolutely rolling random dice and hoping for the best.

The Characters:

The Queen and the Knight are the only two people who have actual names at the moment and no, we did not think this through when we first introduced them. Angelina came when we were trying to figure out a part of the story, and we just came up with Bartlebee when we created the WIP Intro Post.

A small detail about the names and characters is that every one of them will hold a "namesake" or word that is supposed to help define them. You can see this with, "the Adored Angelina," and "the Beloved Bartlebee." We don't think that we will always match the name to the namesake, but who knows!

When first writing the Rapunzel's Witch, we forgot about the tiny little fact that the Queen was married. And so apparently, there is a King roaming around the Castle, and they are not under supervision, if something catches fire, we will now blame them.

The Writing Process:

This is one of the few stories that we aren't doing massive prepping and planning for. It kind of went from a small random story idea into its own thing, so they story is a little chaotic at the moment, but we are kind of happy of this story that is unfolding as it goes!

We kind of had a little trouble with the Tumblr Post regulations - we were a dumb and did not understand some of the things - so we might actually go back and shift things around so the flow is a bit better with the story.

Writing this kind of was nice, and for the writing process, we definitely took more inspiration from Disney's Rapunzel, but also this lovely story called, The Errant Prince, that we have read about. We wants the writing vibes to be the same as these ones, though we might put in some major conflicts in there at some point too.

We have added the Content Tag List, just bc it is content for our WIPs, but there will be no other pressure in having to do this if you don’t want to, or have been tagged before! The main tags will remain open, so if anyone wants to use this as an excuse do join in, then this is your excuse! c:

It's frustrating that you can come up with the plot of an entire fic in just a few seconds, but writing it all down can take anywhere from never to forever.

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

Surprisingly, I want to write like, so bad, but FINALS ARE KICKING MY ASS.

(Why do I only have writing motivation when I'm not writing??)

how do you write a liar?

How to Write Liars Believably

Language

The motive of every goal is the make the lie seem plausible while taking blame off the speaker, so liars will often project what they say to a third party: "Katie said that..."

Referring to third parties as "they" rather than he or she

In the case of a deliberate lie prepped beforehand, there will be an overuse of specific names (rather than pronouns) as the speaker tries to get the details right.

Overuse of non-committal words like "something may have happened"

Masking or obscuring facts like "to the best of my knowledge" and “it is extremely unlikely," etc.

Avoiding answers to specific, pressing questions

Voice

There's isn't a set tone/speed/style of speaking, but your character's speech patten will differ from his normal one.

People tend to speak faster when they're nervous and are not used to lying.

Body Language

Covering their mouth

Constantly touching their nose

fidgeting, squirming or breaking eye contact

turning away, blinking faster, or clutching a comfort object like a cushion as they speak

nostril flaring, rapid shallow breathing or slow deep breaths, lip biting, contracting, sitting on your hands, or drumming your fingers. 

Highly-trained liars have mastered the art of compensation by freezing their bodies and looking at you straight in the eye.

Trained liars can also be experts in the art of looking relaxed. They sit back, put their feet up on the table and hands behind their head.

For deliberate lies, the character may even carefully control his body language, as though his is actually putting on a show

The Four Types of Liars

Deceitful: those who lie to others about facts

2. Delusional: those who lie to themselves about facts

3. Duplicitious: those who lie to others about their values

Lying about values can be even more corrosive to relationships than lying about facts. 

4. Demoralized: those who lie to themselves about their values

Additional Notes

Genuine smiles or laughs are hard to fake

Exaggerations of words (that would normally not be emphasized) or exaggerated body language

Many savvy detectives ask suspects to tell the story in reverse or non-linear fashion to expose a lie. They often ask unexpected, or seemingly irrelevant questions to throw suspects off track.

20 angsty romance prompts part 2

(feel free to use <33 tag me when yall writeeee)

crying in your lover's arms

^ face buried in their chest, while their heart breaks at your every sob :(

"i wish i loved you less." but it is spat at the other person angrily, immediately being regretted after the words leave their mouth.

watching them cry and not knowing what to do (ouch-)

"why do you love me when you know i can't- shouldn't love you back?"

"you messed me up, you fcked me over and what- how dare i? how dare fckn you!"

"i am sorry. i am so so.. so.. sorry. please.. let me go."

"don't you dare do this to me- No! No, no, no, no- nono, hey, please!!"

"... why can't.. anybody see--that... I'm tired?... " (if written write, this wud traumatize me)

"I'm done waiting for you, [name]."

them literally on their knees, "please, please--just please trust me! Why is it so hard for you to believe me once?"

^ "how many times do i have to get hurt by trusting you!!?"

"i am not sorry that i don't love you. I'm sorry that you don't love yourself."

"i loved you, believe me. i did. then you turned into someone else, someone... scary."

"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP HURTING ME? why--why am i the one.. always losing everything..?"

"listen to me-" "No, no!" "my dear, i swear, that isn't what i meant." "oh yeah? i don't think so. you were pretty loud and clear back there."

"so.. you're just going to.. give up on me." "that is NOT what i meant-" "you're not willing to fight for me either. i think it's pretty clear, [name]."

hands trembling while holding their pale, bloodied face, "k-keep your eyes open, for fucks sake! PLEASE-please please, talk to me."

"promise me you'll be okay, and that you'll keep living. moving on, even without me." "only if you do the same." (this happened irl yall)

"you saved me then killed me all over again."
