Rent help for Dec. 1st?

Hii! I’m Juna and I’m a 29 year old trans woman and I live with my only family, my mom Betty in her 60s. I recently had some serious dental trouble and it was .. expensive. Donations helped us pay the bills but we had to put much of our own $ into it as well and now paying rent for December is going to be … very hard. Not to mention there’s still 250$ of dentist bill leftover to pay. But we under-paid for november to help with the dentist payment too! My landlady was okay with it, but that means next months rent is 1200$ instead of 900 and that 900 was gonna be hard as is. We need like 550$ and that leaves … nothing for groceries/christmas, either. I’d like to be able to get my mom a set of pots or something to replace our rusty paint-chipped ancient ones from good will. But thats not quite as important as getting rent paid so, priorities! If you feel generous this holiday season and want to help a poor family of two have a less stressful & more cheerful holiday, you can donate a few bucks to paypal.me/justjuna or cash.me/$junabugs and make life for a small family a little less terrifying for the holidays. If you can’t donate, please please reblog! Really! Every one helps!♥

Sorry, I guess I didn't word things very clearly ^^' I didn't mean Kurt and Ram were gay, I know they aren't. I was just talking about how I've seen people say that comment from JD was homophobic while I disagree, and think it's rather progressive actually.

Writing fight scenes

masterlist. main navigation.

1. Pacing

A fight scene should be fast-paced and intense. Unless it's a final battle with numerous parties, a fight scene that's too long tends to take away suspense. To speed up your pacing, use active voice to describe movement and don't overdescribe your characters' thoughts. Excessive inner monologue will be unrealistic, as people usually have no room to think during intense combats.

2. Character mannerisms

Here's a point that people often overlook, but is actually super important. Through fight scenes, you should be able to reveal your characters' contrasting mannerisms and personality. A cunning character would play dirty - fighting less and making use of their opponent's weakness more. A violent character would aim to kill. A softer one would only target to disarm their enemies, using weakened attacks. A short-minded character would only rely on force and attack without thinking. This will help readers understand your characters more and decide who to root for.

3. Making use of surroundings

Not only the characters, you also need to consider the setting of your fight scene and use it to your advantage. Is it suitable for fighting, or are there dangerous slopes that make it risky? Are there scattered items that can help your characters fight (e.g. nails, shards of glass, ropes, wooden boards, or cutlery)? Is it a public place where people can easily spot the fight and call the authorities, or is it a private spot where they can fight to the death?

4. Description

The main things that you need to describe in a fight scene are :

• Characters involved in the fight

• How they initiate and dodge attacks

• Fighting styles and any weapons used

• The injuries caused

Be careful to not drag out the description for too long, because it slows down the pace.

5. Raise the stakes

By raising the stakes of the fight, your readers will be more invested in it. Just when they think it's over, introduce another worse conflict that will keep the scene going. Think of your characters' goals and motivations as well. Maybe if the MC didn't win, the world would end! Or maybe, one person in the fight is going all-out, while the other is going easy because they used to be close :"D

6. Injuries

Fights are bound to be dirty and resulting in injuries, so don't let your character walk away unscathed - show the effect of their injuries. For example, someone who had been punched in the jaw has a good chance of passing out, and someone who had been stabbed won't just remove the knife and walk away without any problem. To portray realistic injuries, research well. I have two posts about writing realistic pain and injuries back in my pink theme, check them out if you need any reference!

7. Drive the plot forward

You don't write fight scenes only to make your characters look cool - every fight needs to have a purpose and drive the plot forward. Maybe they have to fight to improve their fighting skills or escape from somewhere alive. Maybe they need to defeat the enemy in order to obtain an object or retrieve someone who had been kidnapped. The point is, every single fight scene should bring the characters one step closer (or further :D) to the climax.

8. Words to use

• Hand to hand combat :

Crush, smash, lunge, beat, punch, leap, slap, scratch, batter, pummel, whack, slam, dodge, clobber, box, shove, bruise, knock, flick, push, choke, charge, impact

• With weapon :

Swing, slice, brandish, stab, shoot, whip, parry, cut, bump, poke, drive, shock, strap, pelt, plunge, impale, lash, bleed, sting, penetrate

Day 15 : Outpost

Here, have my... uh... attempt at drawing the future foundation building... I really suck at drawing stuff other than characters 😣😣😣

Didn't really have much time today either, so I made this pretty quick... I hope it's still okay though. It's definitely not

Day 21 : Sleep !

On a asking to speak with another alter

It’s a question we get asked quite a lot. Is it rude to ask for another alter? Well, it really depends on the situation and how you ask

Things that are NOT okay to say:

“Oh, it’s you. Can’t someone else front for once?”

“I don’t like you, I wanna talk to [alter name]”

“Why is [alter name] never out?”

Think about it. What if someone you knew came up and looked annoyed that you were there simply because they wanted to speak to your friend instead? It kinda sucks

Things that ARE okay to say:

“Hey, I saw something [alter name] might like, could I show them real quick?”

“I haven’t seen [alter name] in awhile. Next time you see them, could you let them know I miss them and I’d love to talk to them next time they’re out?”

Finally, remember not everyone can switch on command. Sometimes alters want to front, but just can’t. It’s not that they don’t want to talk to you, they just aren’t able to front at that particular moment.
