I've Seen Enough Broadway Musicals To Know This Is A Bad Idea

ATTENTION READERS AND WRITERS

What are the things you want to see and don't want to see in novels? (I'm trying to come up with my next novel, and I need some inspiration. I think I want my protagonist to be autistic and ace)

AHHH FANGIRLING FOR BMC

It's so fun to be in the first week of a fandom for a musical where you're learning the names and songs, and now it's like--wait, just TWO WEEKS AGO, I didn't know the lyrics to Micheal in the Bathroom or know what a squip is?!?! And what do you mean I hadn't watched it on loop for a week straight until recently?!?!

Crazy Book Idea

I have this wacky idea for a book I really want to write. What if I wrote a book in regular English for everything except the dialogue, which I write in early modern English? And to make it extra wacky, it would take place in modern times, when we don't use Early Modern English?

Did you know: Listening to "Unlikely Lovers" from Falsettos while writing a depressing book will make you cry. (Just listening to Falsettos is enough to make me cry.)

Literally, what is up with Victor Hugo loving the words "enigma" and "chaste"? He bloody described a sword as chaste, and he used the word "enigma" like ten times every chapter. It's okay to have a favorite word, but this is taking it too far.

Too ambitious? Fine! 1500 notes.

If I get 2000 notes on this post, I'll cut my hair (just to clarify, my mother will ground me and force me to get a job).

Modern Au where les amis have a terrible schedule at high school, and they're trying to fix it. They join choir and Combeferre and Courfeyrac embarrass Enjolras in front of Grantaire.

Here’s my steal for Enjoltaire in the semifinals. It’s getting intense. I won’t be able to function properly until this shipping showdown is over and everything’s in order. But it’s so fun! Everyone, make sure to vote!

May I also BEG for more germophobic characters? Only once have I ever read a well-written germophobic character, and I want more. But beware, if you choose to write one, it's very difficult. Even being germophobic myself, I had a hard time writing a realistic one who isn't cringy.

Unique traits to give your characters:

Only puts in one earbud (whether because the other one is ALWAYS broken or because they want to be able to listen to music and everything around)

Never has acne, but has enough other skin problems to make up for it

Allergic to mint, which causes rashes on their face (I have this and it sucks)

Always turns their screen brightness and volume down as low as they can (or direct opposite)

Always wears certain jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, toe rings)

Never listens to "normal" music. Only musicals. Or not music at all. Only podcasts

Can't read because they always have a song stuck in their head

They go through insane phases of hyper fixations where they constantly make references to something but never go on tangents

Never cleans their glasses (or direct opposite; always cleans them)

Tries to dress nice but has no fashion sense

One last thing. Giving your most likable character glasses isn't a bad idea because some people (cough, cough, me) hate their glasses until a character they like wears glasses, then they love their glasses. It can really make an impact! Just an idea. (That sentence made no sense, sorry)

Does it make sense that when I defend Evan Hansen, I’m not defending his actions, because I know that they’re wrong and that’s the point of the show, but that I’m defending him because people refuse to acknowledge him as a complex character rather than a horrible evil manipulative sociopath?

Seeing as Victor Hugo knows so much about the Paris sewer system, could you say he's a connoisewer?

[This is the most cringy thing I've ever said]
