Personal favorite trope in BL/yaoi:

Big and scary yankee or delinquent who's actually a big softy and the most adorable little bean (and also a bottom because DUH)

Let's face it: we as writers don't want our OCs/characters to meet us irl.

I've put mine through so much bullshit for the sake of character development they'd probably burn me at the stake and then piss on my ashes

Writing characters who use they/them pronouns

If in the context the character might be mistaken for a group go ahead and just use their name

In the case this does not apply, use pronouns

If you say the character's name once in the sentence before, or in the previous sentence it is okay to use a pronoun

You do not have to point out that the character uses they/them pronouns; sometimes that can be strange in the context of the story. It can be subtle if you want!

All of this also applies to writing other characters, sometimes you have to watch your pronouns because it can cause confusion for the reader. It is not weird or odd to have characters who use they/them pronouns or if you really want to take an extra step, make the character use neopronouns. It might help if you are struggling with using they/them too much.

(Please feel free to add/expand on the list)

2023... but told in my hyperfixations

Just a post that allows me to track all of my various hyperfixations that have helped me pass this grueling and busy year

HADES (Supergiant Game)

I played this game for at least 6 months non-stop. I was obsessed with everything about it, from story, gameplay all the way to relationships and dialogue. I was ESPECIALLY whipped for PatroChilles and ThanZag. My major fixation spurs were January and February as well as May. I still play Hades when I need to decompress, I have almost 200h in it and I have 100% achievements which is my first time ever

Captive Prince series by C. S. Pacat

I read this trilogy during February and when I tell you I was smacked in the face by how good it was. From intrigue, plot and political drama all the way to relationships. But ofc I was mostly blown away by the relationship between Damen and Laurent, like, I DID NOT EXPECT to love their relationship so much. I WAS IN SHAMBLES BECAUSE OF THEIR GENTLE LOVE. Couldn't recover for weeks

KINGDOM - Dystopia

One of the things I was really looking forward to. The whole album blew me away and the Japanese aesthetic was top notch. How much my boys have grown, I was in shambles

GENSHIN IMPACT!!!!!!!

What can I say, I ENDED UP LOOKING INTO IT. I didn't start officially playing it yet, but I went through the lore, studied all characters and their relationships and ofc got sucked into shipping side of the fandom (it's not that hard to intrigue me with that)

I was specifically OBSESSED with DainKae (Dainsleif x Kaeya), XiaoAether, HaiKaveh and CynoNari. And as new patches come by and Fointaine was introduced, my fixation periods always come back with new content. And right now, I'm all about Wriollette. Fixation started in July and has been coming and going as the new content was introduced (when Furina's backstory was introduced, I was bawling)

RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE MOVIE!!!!

I was prepared for this movie since last year BUT THE ACTUAL THING BLEW ME AWAY! I was so happy to watch it finally, I LOVED the chemistry and even though I have a couple of grievances with it, I think the whole message was portrayed nicely! I won't tell you how many times I've watched the movie, it's literally my comfort media. The main fixation period was before the release and entire August.

Avatar: The Way of Water

I was very late with my watch BUT BOY WAS I OBSESSED AND HIT LIKE A TRUCK WITH IT. The movie had everything I expected it to have and it really made me feel a lot of things. I was so devastated over Teyam, I had SO MANY theories about other three sequels and honestly, I'm still not over how good that movie is. And now, that I know the third sequel is coming around Christmas of 2025, I know the first part of 2026 will be marked by that movie alone. Major fixation period was end of August and ENTIRE September

KINGDOM - Coup d'Etat

Every time Kingdom has a comeback I go into brainrot, deal with it. This comeback was special because it was the last part of their History of Kingdom series and we got SO MANY information on their lore that also prepared us for Season 2! I cannot tell you how insufferable I'll become when the next series of albums starts. As far as this album goes, though, I had no complaints, another non-skip album and Coup d'Etat was a perfect showcase of their growth in the last 3 years. So yeah, majority of my October and November was occupied by them.

And finally.... HEAVEN OFFICIAL'S BLESSING (TGCF)

This story pounced on me like a tiger from an ambush and honestly, I'm not complaining. I know all spoilers, I'm SO OBSESSED with HuaLian and am currently on the 2nd book. I think I'll be even more obsessed when I live though all the important moments though books and I CAN GUARANTEE my interest will once again peak when I start watching donghua (I'm waiting for season 2 to finish so I can watch both Chinese and English, oh, and Japanese will be watched eventually). And, ofc, I'm planning to buy all eight English volumes!!

When someone else decided to just make the Hualian scene we all wanted to see ✨

/ please say hi to me on twt 🥺

[yuamusuzuran]

Advantage of reading TGCF novel for the first time WHILE knowing all major spoilers:

I get to a certain scene, I recognize what it'll lead up to and I'm already a puddle on the floor, crying so much from all different emotions that I can't cope (happened in ten scenes already and I'm only on chapter 35)

HuaLian really hijacked my entire personality at the end of this dreading year of 2023 AND PLEASE DON'T SEND HELP, I LOVE IT HERE

TGCF LOG #1 - Dec 12th 2023

Currently on my way to continue reading TGCF novel, still on book 1, finished chapter 20 (I have dyslexia and am trying SO HARD to read it properly so it will take me some time)

I know all major spoilers, I don't mind them BUT I WANNA EXPERIENCE THEM FIRST-HAND WHILE READING. Still think I can have a convo with people about HuaLian.... (my friends are already tired of me and it's only been a day)

Needless to say I'm obsessed

Plan is to first finish the books (I know they complete hehehe)

Then watch the animated version (hopefully I'll finish by the time season 2 is over, I wanna binge Chinese, Japanese AND English) AND THEN read the manhwa. Looking forward to it all.

OFF I GO!!!

There is no such thing as a truly original idea

Embrace your genre tropes. They’re what excite readers. You won’t be the first to use them, nor will you be the last. It’s how you use them that makes your work unique.

The Ultimate (short) Guide to Crafting Captivating Book Titles: A Writer's Journey into Naming Novels

Embracing the Power of a Book Title

Greetings, fellow writers and wordsmiths! As we embark on the magical journey of storytelling, there exists a crucial milestone—bestowing our creations with a name, a title that encapsulates the essence of our narrative. The quest for the perfect title can be as thrilling as drafting the story itself. In this guide, we will unravel the art and significance of titling a novel, exploring strategies, tips, and the creative process behind crafting an engaging and magnetic book title.

Understanding the Importance of a Book Title

The Gateway to Reader Connection

A book title is the beacon that beckons readers to explore the universe you've crafted. It's the first impression, a snapshot that encapsulates the soul of your narrative. A compelling title can captivate an audience, generating curiosity and inviting them to step into the world you've woven within your pages.

Reflecting the Essence of Your Story

A well-crafted title encapsulates the core theme, mood, or central conflict of your novel. It should resonate with the narrative, teasing elements without revealing too much, leaving a trail of intrigue that entices readers to delve deeper.

The Art of Title Creation

Embrace the Journey: Start with a Working Title

Begin with a placeholder, a working title that captures the essence of your story in its rawest form. Let it evolve and grow as your narrative does. This title might serve as a guiding light until you uncover the perfect one.

Exploring the Heart of Your Story

Consider the central themes, characters, or pivotal moments within your book. Delve into the emotional core of your narrative and unearth words or phrases that resonate with its essence.

Utilizing Literary Devices and Techniques

Explore metaphors, alliteration, symbolism, or even poetic verses. Experiment with wordplay, juxtapositions, and contrasts. These literary devices can infuse depth and intrigue into your title.

Testing and Refining Your Title

The Power of Feedback

Share your title ideas with trusted friends, writing groups, or beta readers. Gather feedback on their impressions and the emotions evoked by the titles. Use this input to refine and narrow down your choices.

Alignment with Your Target Audience

Consider your intended readership. Does your title resonate with the genre and expectations of your audience? Ensure it's not only enticing but also aligns with the preferences of your potential readers.

Finalizing the Perfect Title

Distillation of Essence: Keep it Succinct and Evocative

Aim for brevity and impact. A concise yet evocative title can linger in the minds of readers. Often, the most powerful titles are those that say much with few words.

Research and Avoiding Clichés

Investigate existing titles in your genre to ensure your title stands out. Steer clear of clichés and overused phrases, aiming for originality and uniqueness.

Embrace the Artistry of Title Crafting

Crafting the ideal book title is an art in itself. It's the literary cloak that shrouds your creation, inviting readers into the tapestry of your imagination. Embrace the journey of titling your novel with the same passion and creativity you pour into your storytelling. Let the title be a herald, whispering the promise of a remarkable journey that awaits within the pages of your book.

As you venture forth, remember, the perfect title awaits—a key to unlock the hearts and minds of your future readers.

Happy writing and titling!

This comprehensive guide aims to take writers through the journey of creating an impactful and engaging book title, emphasizing the importance of a title and offering practical strategies to craft one that truly resonates with a novel's essence. If you need further insights, examples, or specific advice on any aspect of titling a novel, feel free to delve deeper into each section. Happy titling!

Character A who’s usually serious but is a softie in the inside and Character B who literally tries to cheer them up constantly

Serious Character and Ray of Sunshine Character Prompts

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

"Why do you always look so sad?" Character B asked, a hurt in their voice that Character A had never heard before. "I try to make you feel better but I'm never sure if it works."

"You know you make me really happy?" Character A said in their usual flatlined voice.

"Do you want to hang out?" Character B asked. "Just so you're not sitting around doing nothing all day."

"I never sit around and do nothing when I'm with you."

"You're always trying to make me feel better," Character A said awkwardly, holding out a bouquet of flowers. "It's my turn to do the same for you."

"You're my favorite person."

"Thanks for being so amazing."

"You realize I'm never actually in a bad mood, right?" Character A finally asked. "You act like I'm sad all the time, but I'm not. Not when I'm around you."

"You have this amazing ability to light up a room when you walk in."

"I feel like I dampen the mood every time I open my mouth."

"You mean the world to me."

Character A's heart did backflips in their chest every time Character B looked at them.
