Spiderman being the most relatable superhero part one
HAPPY FIRST EVER INTERNATIONAL AROMANTIC VISIBILITY DAY
"You're literally younger than me"
"But I'm taller and not an idiot"
"Debatable"
"You're grounded,"
"I'm in my thirties,"
"Do I care?"
We could also use some qprs
Just saying...
I don’t know who needs to hear this but YOUR CHARACTERS DONT NEED TO FALL IN LOVE. PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE JUST AS FULFILLING AND AMAZING AS ROMANTIC ONES. NOT EVERY STORY NEEDS A ROMANTIC SUBPLOT STOP IT
Help me prove a point
Idk nothing about coding but after long hours of trying to make my own site skin i figured how to block all works written in languages one doesn't speak
.blurb:not(:has(dd[lang$="en"])) { display: none; } .blurb:has(dd[lang$="es"]), .blurb:has(a[href*="/skins/" i]), .blurb:has(a[href*="/collections/" i]), .blurb:has(a[href*="/series/" i]) { display: block; }
So basically,
.blurb:not(:has(dd[lang$="en"])) { display: none; }
This will block all works that are not in the language selected, in this case english (en)
And
.blurb:has(dd[lang$="es"]) { display: block; }
This will show previously blocked works that are in the language selected, in this case spanish (es)
If you speak more than two languages just copy and paste the last part as many times as u need and change the language.
Note that this will only block the view of this works but will NOT filtered it so it may tell you there are more works than shown
If someone knows about coding and wants to make corrections pls do!
So there's new chapter today!
Here’s my quick and easy run-down on how to create a full outline for your projects — all the plot beats your story is meant to have!
The only thing you should really have before you start plotting is your character arcs.
Why? What happens if you don't have them?🤔
- Your plot is way more likely to feel unfounded
- You're going to lack change through the story
- You'll be writing for plot only, and lose any deeper meanings
- Your outline could feel decent to you, but when you start writing you will quickly lose interest
📌Remember this one important thing before we start.📌
Here are the beats you should hit in the first 10-20k words.
STATUS QUO - Your protagonists current situation, with all its faults and potential.
INTERNAL CONFLICT - Most important one!!! You have to paint the start of your character's arc (preferably on page 1), by hinting at their fatal flaw, misbelief, regret, or something that holds them back.
INCITING INCIDENT - The event that pulls your character out of their comfort zone and makes them debate.
DWELLING AND ACCEPTING - Your character's first actions: do they refuse the call? What makes them finally accept it? This is where you form a clear external goal.
Beats to hit in the murky middle.
NEW WORLD - The character finds themself in a new uncomfortable place they need to learn to navigate.
A FEW CHALLENGES - What's the external goal they're working towards? What are the steps they can take to get closer to it and what challenges do they find along the way?
MIDPOINT - Plot twist! They've reached their goal but it turns out not to be what they expected. Introduce a higher stakes goal.
THINGS TURN SOUR - Your hero's thrown off their rocker and they can't keep up with the blows.
BIGGEST HIT - Your hero experiences the worst hit in the whole story, and they give up. They go back to their status quo, defeated.
Beats to hit in your final stretch.
THE LIGHTBULB - What breaks your hero back out of their darkest moment? What makes their little brain cogs turn again? ...or who?
THE NEW PLAN - How do they decide to deal with the whole mess they've created?
EXECUTION - How do they tackle it, and does everything go smoothly, or do they face one final challenge that forces them to reconsider some things?
THE TRANSFORMATION - They complete their character arc, they've finally learned their lessons.
TYING UP LOSE ENDS - They resolve any remaining open questions, and showcase the change from who they were at the start.
I teach you this and so much more inside my Academy. You'll start from the really important stuff, so you know the purpose behind your book, and your full character arcs. That's when the outline snaps into place.
Join 200+ students inside the academy today, but be fast, prices are going UP at the end of the month!

As someone who is starting to create stuff, I was curious :)
Don't hesitate to elaborate if you want to !
Is it a stupid idea? Yes. Did I have to go overboard and animate it? No.
But I had to and I'm not sorry ;P
