If your plot feels flat, STUDY it! Your story might be lacking...
Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?
Thematic relevance - Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?
Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?
Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?
Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist's choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren't immediately obvious?
Ochako strikes me as someone who starts crying when she gets really happy/something sickeningly sweet and intimate happens.
Himiko, on the other hand, seems like the type to hug someone so tightly they explode when something really sweet/really happy happens. Like, too much joy, no way to express it, starts hugging people really tightly and trying to bite them.
I kind of suck at tagging, so I made this infographic to help make it easier.
Omg don't even joke
The year is 2034, the ice caps are melting but we finally got Encanto 2— forcibly called Encan2 by Disney. They kicked Jared bush off the project due to creative differences (he didn’t do what the Disney overlords asked of him)
Before the film came out Disney tried to purchase the entire country of Colombia. It did not work.
The film takes place five years into the future. Everyone is heterosexual. The plot is a gift swap and the OG songwriters have been replaced with all the song writers for ‘Wish.’ Alma dies at the end. Mirabels only character trait is ‘girlboss.’ Camilo finally gets some attention from the narrative but his only character trait is “I like a girl.” And nothing else happens expect for him liking a girl. Isabela and Dolores have five kids each.
Luisa also dies on screen too because the writers forgot how to write strong female characters so this was the alternative.
At one point Antonio looks into the camera and goes, “erm, he’s right behind me isn’t he?”
There is no god. Encanto 3,4,5 and 6 are announced right after.
it is 2:30 PM, i just had apple pie for lunch, and i'm settled in with a big glass of hot chocolate and a 4 hour yt video on mario for background noise. It is time to write things (after I procrastinate a little bit more)
Not the normal togachako, fanfic, or music posts I spam by blog with but little aro rant time:
I think you either get to be one of those aromantic people who end up falling in love, or you get to be the one who's sitting there, trying to be happy while your friend talks about getting married, and all you can think is "I might lose them." You try to be happy, because marriage is happy; it's supposed to be happy. They love each other, it's a great thing, but what about you? You're making it about yourself now--their marriage, a plan for the future, something that won't happen for a long while, doesn't involve you, but you're sitting there, trying not to cry, and they're /so/ happy sounding. And it's only made worse because they're inviting you, because you're friends and they're aro too and they might understand this, but you can't find it in your heart to tell them, instead you yell into the tumblr void, because what if they think you're just being selfish and controlling and toxic and you don't want that, you don't want to end this friendship because talking to them is so fun.
I will be listening to Will Wood and directing these feelings into a togachako fic if anyone needs me lol
the mask off trend on tiktok has got me thinking about mha characters and their godly parents. bakugo is not a child of ares, not when nike is right there. ochako, with her bright personality, being a child of iris, goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. being a sort of a messenger herself, being a bridge between toga's form of love and society's, connecting civilians and heroes (a young woman's declaration, who will save the heroes?). aoyama and monoma are both children of dionysus, not only because of their love for wine and theatre, but also because of the uncertainty of whether or not dionysus is one of the twelve olympians. dionysus with his mortal mother, monoma with his copy quirk and aoyama with his (not really) quirk, always slightly an outsider. all might is a child of zeus but so is endeavor so why can't he be number one. iida and dabi as children of nemesis, toga and mina (and midnight) as aphrodite's. no one thinks kirishima is an ares kid until you see his courage, and everyone thinks hawks in an athena kid but it's actually hermes.
PREACHHH
So:
•Ochako hasn’t even confessed her feelings.
•Ochako still bottles up her emotions.
•Ochako and Himiko don’t even have an actual conclusion.
•Izuku rejects Katsuki’s agency proposal.
•Izuku and Ochako grab their hands in the most platonic way possible.
•“I want to talk more” “same bro”.
Omg Izu//Ocha canon, so good, so much development omg /sarcasm.
I just know if Ochako’s blonde was still alive Ochako wouldn’t even fucking think about Izuku’s freckled ass omg😭
I can only ever write like six words before I'm back to Google to make sure I know the definition of a word before I use it
I want Millie to run them over🫵🏼
Fuck they drive me INSANE
Veronica casually pulling the baddies
[Somewhere, in a Pro-hero Uravity and Field Medic Himiko AU]
Himiko, sorting through blood donations: "What's your type?"
Ochako, delirious from blood loss: "You."
Himiko, confused: "Huh?"
Ochako: "You've got such a pretty smile..."
Himiko, blushing: "I meant your blood type."
