Just practicing shading and sht with my oc Axeri Kuno
So I was just wandering around your blog and I was wondering. Remember the picture you posted of a page of a book on norse mythology? What book is it?
Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology!!
How do I bring up a setting in a story? I find it kind of difficult somehow 😐 Btw I love your blog, it really helps me.
The setting is the place where your story unfolds, but its importance to the overall story can vary. Some settings can be thought of as so important they’re almost a character in the story. Other settings just serve as background detail, having limited or superficial impact on the story. But regardless of which kind of setting you have, it’s important to work it into the story so that your reader is always aware of it, even if only vaguely. But how do you do that?
1) Flesh out your setting before you write.
Even if you’re not a planner, you should have some idea of what your setting will be and what it’s like before you start writing. One thing that can help a lot is to choose some inspiration for your setting. If you’re writing about a fictional town, for example, you might choose a real town (or a few) to serve as inspiration for your setting. Having a real place to pull ideas from can help the setting form more fully in your imagination. Even if you’re writing a fantasy setting, there are many real life places that can serve as inspiration, plus lots of fictional ones as well.
2) Do a scene list with setting information.
It’s much easier to think about setting when you know exactly where each of your scenes will take place. When you write out a scene list, you can jot down a few notes about the setting in that scene. Think about things like where it is, what time it’s taking place, and ways in which your characters might interact with the setting during the scene.
3) Imagine yourself in the scene.
One of the easiest ways to think about setting when you write a scene is to imagine yourself in your character’s shoes. What elements of the setting can they see during the scene? What can they hear or smell? What do they touch or interact with? For every part of the scene you write, consider these questions and incorporate the details into the scene.
4) Use setting to establish and conclude a scene.
Next time you’re watching a TV show, pay close attention and you’ll notice when a new scene begins (either after a scene ends or a commercial break ends), you’ll often see an exterior shot of the house, building, restaurant, park, school, etc. This is called an “establishing shot” and it’s used to establish where the scene is taking place. It also lets the viewer know things like time of day (which might tell them if time has passed since the last scene), weather, and other important details. You can do something similar in your story by establishing the scene with information about the setting, time of day, weather, and any other details that may be relevant to the story. You don’t need to talk about these things to establish every scene, but they’re often relevant or helpful. Take a few books off your bookshelf and flip through a few chapters. See if you can identify the paragraphs that establish setting. See if you can find similar paragraphs that conclude a chapter.
5) Read, read, read.
As always, the best way to learn how to write is to make sure you’re reading a lot, and to make sure you’re paying attention to the things you want to learn. If you want to learn how to weave setting details into your story, pay attention to how your favorite authors do it in their books. :)
Y/n: The stars are beautiful tonight
Thor: indeed
Y/n: You know who else is beautiful?
Thor(blushing): Who?
Y/n: Loki
Loki(emerging from the bushes): HA! I TOLD YOU BROTHER
mmm yes ok I'll leave the plants alone. I can't promise I'll leave the garden gnomes alone tho...
IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW @axerrri RIGHT NOW I WILL SHOW UP AT THE FOOT OF YOUR BED TONIGHT AND BEAT YOU WITH MY MASSIVE FUCKING SHLONG!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
seriously like. If you have a little extra money to give, think about things like Wikipedia, public radio, your local PBS station, your town’s public library… this is the most necessary time to protect free and public institutions of knowledge and information. Support them however you can because the way things are going I’m not sure we could get them back if we lost them.
as a lot of you know, my mom passed yesterday and it was so unexpected. what started as a simple break led to her organs shutting down, her kidney, liver, lungs and even heart. she even coded at one point.
not only do we have to put on her funeral, but we are also losing wages that we need to pay rent and bills. she was on disability that gave her 1,400 a month and i was her home health attendant and i used to get paid 450 every two weeks.
we’re giving up our car bc we won’t be able to afford the payment or insurance and we’re going to try and move into a cheaper place when we’re able to. the place we’re in right now is 2,400 a month and it’s no where near worth it.
there’s never any obligation to donate, but even reblogging this would be appreciated.

hello everyone! moth here; with a small note for you guys to remember-
there's been a plagiarizing blog who's taking genshin x reader content and marking it as their own, practically c&p-ing it onto their posts. the way it's very obvious is because one: in the interwoven fates network discord server, there have been targets listed
and two: the formats of each posts are very different. these formats match the regular formats of the original creators.
i have not been targeted yet, so i took the chance to block and report the blog first. for all the genshin x reader content creators; please block this blog immediately to ensure that your works do not get stolen!
thank you for taking your time to read through.

ALREADY-PLAGIARIZED CONTENT CREATORS (their urls; according to the interwoven fates network): chichikoi, ohmykazuha, almondoufu, abyssheart, mikachuchu, witch-hazels-musings, favoniuscodex, starrconch, teyvattherapist
please make sure to BLOCK and REPORT them IMMEDIATELY! content creator or not, my followers, everyone- block this blog and report it!
AND IF YOU CAN AND ARE WILLING TO (please do!!), REBLOG THIS POST AND PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE WHO NEEDS TO KNOW.
thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day. this will be reblogged every now and then; and there will be a link to this in my pinned post so it does not get lost. if you need the link to pass this message on; you can find it there.
