Oooh!!! Bakugou! It Sounds Like I’ll Be Enjoying Your Fic On The 28th Too Then! I’ll Be Excited To

Oooh!!! Bakugou! It sounds like I’ll be enjoying your fic on the 28th too then! I’ll be excited to read it! It’s always fun trying out characters you’re not as confident on. It’s almost like a nice challenge??? I hope you’re feeling well today! - 💐

Well, I hope you also enjoy it! I finished it today! I enjoyed writing it. There was a period where I was getting frustrated, because I wasn’t sure if I was capturing the character. A lot of editing.

Tips for Writing a Difficult Scene

Every writer inevitably gets to that scene that just doesn't want to work. It doesn't flow, no matter how hard you try. Well, here are some things to try to get out of that rut:

1. Change the weather

I know this doesn't sound like it'll make much of a difference, but trust me when I say it does.

Every single time I've tried this, it worked and the scene flowed magically.

2. Change the POV

If your book has multiple POV characters, it might be a good idea to switch the scene to another character's perspective.

9/10 times, this will make the scene flow better.

3. Start the scene earlier/later

Oftentimes, a scene just doesn't work because you're not starting in the right place.

Perhaps you're starting too late and giving too little context. Perhaps some description or character introspection is needed before you dive in.

Alternatively, you may be taking too long to get to the actual point of the scene. Would it help to dive straight into the action without much ado?

4. Write only the dialogue

If your scene involves dialogue, it can help immensely to write only the spoken words the first time round.

It's even better if you highlight different characters' speech in different colors.

Then, later on, you can go back and fill in the dialogue tags, description etc.

5. Fuck it and use a placeholder

If nothing works, it's time to move on.

Rather than perpetually getting stuck on that one scene, use a placeholder. Something like: [they escape somehow] or [big emotional talk].

And then continue with the draft.

This'll help you keep momentum and, maybe, make the scene easier to write later on once you have a better grasp on the plot and characters.

Trust me, I do this all the time.

It can take some practice to get past your Type A brain screaming at you, but it's worth it.

So, those are some things to try when a scene is being difficult. I hope that these tips help :)

This won’t go over well with a lot of you, but you all are gonna rant than so am I!

It’s gonna be a long one, so buckle up. A number of people really don’t like Yashahime. I see so many people who are upset and saying the story is poorly done fan fiction. Saying such things because the writers are using stories from the manga and replacing the characters. Saying the characters, like Setsuna and Towa, are flat. That they are Mary Sue type characters. That Moroha is just a jester. Someone to poke fun at. That she doesn’t care about her parents or who they are.

ARE THEY FUCKING BLIND?!

They want the show to display a fairytale happy ending for the characters they love. WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR THESE PEOPLE!! FAIRYTALE ENDINGS DON’T MAKE GOOD STORIES! Not even FAIRYTALES are written that way. They want Sunrise to start the series off with the whole gang dancing around singing kumbaFUCKINGya! This is a ridiculous notion to have. A naive and simple minded one at best. They cry because they don’t get to see their beloved characters. They whine because the story doesn’t match what they had envisioned. NEWS FLASH! Many of the people writing, animating, and voicing this series are the ones who were apart of the original. This is what THEY envisioned. This is their dream. HOW DARE YOU DEFILE THEIR ART WITH SUCH PREPOSTEROUS ACCUSATIONS!

This is how good stories start. You throw the characters into the fire, watch them crawl through it, and emerge from the other side with resolve. Our characters got their happy ending. We saw it. However, life continues on. The OG gang lives during a time of demons and that world did not end with Naraku’s death. He was not the end all, be all of demons. He was not a LORD. He was not a ruler of lands. He was a pitiful HUMAN man with hate in his heart that sold his soul for power and the love of a woman he would never be able to grasp. Just because we did not see the good times, does not mean they were not there. We saw the start of it. As I have been told by someone, that is what imagination is for. We use our imagination to develop stories of how they lived their lives afterwards. Up until the point it all went to shit again. We are thrown into the story when it begins to unfold. That is why we see the story of the girls. We see the world through their eyes just as we did with Kagome and the others. It appears patchy and inconsistent because that’s how they see it! They don’t know the full story, so why should we. As an audience, we already know so much more than they do.

This story has just begun, do these ignorant twits really expect to be spoon feed every damn detail. I get the frustration of wanting to see the OG characters happy. I want nothing more than see the beautiful family life of Sesshomaru and Rin. I want nothing more than to see the loving and chaotic relationship between Inuyasha, Kagome, and Moroha. I want nothing more than to see Sango and Miroku raising their children. I WANT THAT TOO! However, this story is NOT ABOUT THAT! It is about the hellfire that rained down on them. It is about the hardships that both the old and new cast had to suffer through. It is about what happened after the fairytale ended. We don’t have answers, because it just started! It took 193 EPISODES of Inuyasha for the story to be completed. ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-THREE! We are on episode 11, going on 12, of Yashahime! I for one believe there will be more than 1 season. These artists are not known for short and sweet stories. If they end the story abruptly, IT’S BECAUSE OF THE TOXIC DISCOURSE THAT IS FLOODING THE STREETS! Believe in the writing and have faith that our questions will be answered. This is a story across time and it will take time to tell it.

Moroha will have her spotlight. We will see her rise to the occasion. She does care about her parents and who they are. I know this, in my heart, to be true.

Setsuna and Towa will regain their memory and be reunited with their family. Even if it is not how we pictured it.

Hisui and Kohaku are rebuilding their family business. They are following in the footsteps of their ancestors. We will see that story as well.

We will see what happened to the others, we just have to show patience and faith. Even if it does not align with our fandom’s dreams. Our dreams are ones of happiness, delusions, and self insertions. We are not the authors of this story. We are the fans. We are not going to like every single facet of this story. So many of us have changed the story with fan fictions. Our minds have warped and manipulated this story into something that is not aligned with the story that is being published. AND WE NEED TO GET OVER IT. Stop harping on these childish fantasies and understand that it is a story. Not a story of your life, but a story of characters that you did not create. So in the end, you do not get to decide their fates.

Come at me if you want. However, I will not entertain your delusions.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY HI! You’re my person for the spring time event and I’m really excited to get to know you! Can I start by maybe asking who some of your favorite characters are?! 💖

HEY! I’m so excited! This will be so much fun!

Favorite characters, huh? Well, if we are talking bnha then I would have to say, Inasa, Shinsou, Camie, and Aizawa. Inasa being number 1!

If we are talking any characters, then I would say Tanaka from Haikyuu, Rei from Free, Sesshomaru from Inuyasha, and Gajeel from Fairytail. I have soooo many more, but that would take too long.

My Top 11 Favorite Anime Series

I got into anime in the summer of 1998, when Sailor Moon began it’s run on Cartoon Network’s Toonami. Four years later, Inuyasha changed my life by solidifying my love of anime, manga, and Japanese culture. My favorite anime generally aired during the ‘90s through early 2000s. Although there are plenty of modern anime that I love, like Sword Art Online, Fate/Zero, and Itazura na Kiss, these eleven anime helped make me the person I am today, so they will always hold a special place in my heart.
