Bookwormineedsleep - Im Literally Orion Pax Guys

Sooo tiktok is back, but since its a ploy to get gen z to try and ride trumps little small dick I aint buyin it and neither should you. Trump plans on having mass deportations starting in Chicago, Illinois and New york. He isnt a good guy and hes not on your side. Hes not there to help you, your friends, or your family. Unless you’re a rich white billionaire. Please stay informed, and stay as safe as you possibly can. Its only the start of year.

the fact that chappell roans good luck babe blew up because of a Maxley edit will never not be legendary and so fricking funny, I love chappell roan🫶🫶🫶 and thank you maxley for being the catalyst to her winning a grammy last night (this is obv a joke and her hard work is obv thr reason shes won and is here but its still funny)

being politically active when your friends dgaf is not for the weak. my friends were celebrating the tiktok ban while i had to sit there knowing that it's an infringement of the first amendment and a sign of america's crawl into fascism, but you cant just say "yeah clean girl and girl dinner and tiktok ban and nara smith are all signs of fascism" to someone not politically active because they'll write you off as a conspiracy theorist

Ohio Sheriff Says Immigration Visas Too Confusing For Cops; Asks Trump, Musk To Change Them.

You simply can’t make this stuff up.

The sheriff of Butler County, Ohio, one Richard K. Jones, who gives “Yosemite Sam meets diabeetus,” legit wrote a letter to DJT — cc’d to Elon, no less — saying that immigration visas were “too confusing” for local law enforcement.

Then held a Facebook Live/press conference to… apparently brag about how unintelligent he thinks law enforcement is.

“Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports a letter has been written to President Donald J. Trump imploring him to modify the current language on immigration visas to make them more comprehensible to law enforcement personnel. “There’s roughly one-hundred and eighty-five different visas in this country, and too many interpretations of which one means what. Just too confusing,” states Sheriff Jones.” Butler County Sherrif’s Office Press Release

Dear Mr. President, In the recent months I have grown concerned with the substantial number of visas that are being disseminated in our country and the perplexity that these visas may have on our law enforcement. With roughly one hundred and eighty-five different visas in this country the verbiage in these documents may be confusing to ICE agents as well as our law enforcement as a whole. While ICE enforces immigration laws within the United States, as you know, the process of issuing visas fall under the U.S. Department of State. ICE agents or local law enforcement may not always have the knowledge concerning the specific nuances of different visa types. As a six term Sheriff, voted in by the citizens of Butler County, Ohio, I implore you to modify these visas to more simplified, comprehensible categories to alleviate any confusion moving forward.

Of course, behind the cringe is the simple fact that we’re looking at a bully who is so unintelligent that he has to ask who the “bad guys” are. A bully who knows who the bigger bullies are, and thinks that there is absolutely nothing wrong with displaying both his lack of intelligence and his willingness to bully others to the public at large.

And judging by the comments on his post, he’s sadly right. via ideatrash

Struggling with emotional scenes? Here are some tips for writing emotion!

=========

1. While you’re writing, try to build an explanation for their feelings. What triggered their emotion? Is their reaction rational or are they overreacting? Do they fight, flight, fawn or freeze when provoked? Do they feel threatened? 

=========

2. Show, don’t tell. Describe what is happening instead of plainly stating the situation. Try not to use words like sad, happy, devastated, in pain, angry, nervous, scared, or worried. They cut back on the emotional integrity of the scene and make it hard for readers to connect with your characters. Here are some different behaviors for different emotions.

-Eager-

Bouncing up and down

Unable to sit still

Breathing deeply

Fidgeting

Pretending to do something

Trying to stay busy

Constantly looking at the clock

-Nervous-

Red and hot face

Sweaty palms

Voice cracks

Shaky hands

Biting nails

Biting lips/inside of cheek

Wide eyes

Shallow breathing

Heart racing

-Excited-

Wide smile

Squeal/scream

Bouncing up and down

Fidgeting

Playing with hands

Tapping foot

Talking fast

Tapping pencil

Pacing back and forth

-Scared-

Curling up/bringing knees to head

Closing eyes

Covering ears

Stop breathing or breathing quickly

Biting nails

Shaking

Gritting teeth

Hugging/squeezing something tight

-Frustrated-

Stomping

Grunting/mumbling/yelling

Deep breaths

Red and hot face

Hitting/kicking something

Pointing

Straining/veins become more visible

-Sobbing-

Trying not to blink/holding back tears

-Happy-

-Upset-

Head down/avoiding eye contact

Biting inside of cheek

Dissociation

Keeping quiet

Fidgeting

-Bored-

Pacing back and forth

Sighing loudly

Complaining

Fidgeting

Blank face

Looking for something to do

Making up stories

Talking about random topics

=========

3. Try and bring some trauma into your character’s emotions. For example, something might happen that reminds them of a suppressed/traumatic memory. This is an easy way to hook your reader and have them really feel like your character is a real person with real emotions. They might have some internal conflict they need to work through and a certain situation reminds them of that. They might become irritable at the thought of their traumatic experience and they might snap at whoever is nearby. 

=========

4. Most characters won’t dump their entire backstory or feelings in a conversation. Try and reserve your character’s emotions to make more interesting scenes later on. For example, your character may be triggered and someone may ask them what’s wrong. Will they give in, soften up and share? Or will they cut themself off and say they’re fine? Also take into account that your character might not know the other character very well and won’t be comfortable sharing personal information with them, like details regarding their trauma.

=========

5. Last but not least, you don’t need to have a major event happen to connect emotionally with your audience. You don’t have to kill off a character every time you need to spice up your story, even simple interactions can just help your readers understand your character better. Show how they react to certain topics or situations. Describe their feelings, their surroundings, their body language. Their defense mechanisms will help the audience to better understand what kind of person they are.
