Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

Come back, I have to tell you the plot of a fic I’ll never write and get you excited about it so we can all be disappointed with me later

Gortash: what were you and your butler prattling about?

Durge: oh, it was mostly sceleritas. But he mentioned you.

Gortash: great. What does he want?

Durge: nothing important. Just wants us to cease all communication with each other.

Gortash: for what reason?

Durge: does it matter?

Gortash: absolutely.

Durge: he believes you're getting in the way of my duties. Moreover, you're a baneite.

Gortash: he wants us to separate ways because I worship bane?

Durge: and because you're an intrusion. But of course.

Gortash: he serves you, why is he ordering you around?

Durge: he is not.

Gortash: yes he is.

Durge: he is just making sure I fulfill my duties, father doesn't look on favour of disappointment.

Sceleritas: that is correct milady, your father wants the best for you, and so do I.

Gortash: gods, were you here this whole time?

Sceleritas: milady, would you not so kindly tell the banite that I do not converse with worshippers of your father's foes.

Durge: he can hear you fel, you're right next to him.

Sceleritas: I see that, I simply refuse to acknowledge him.

Gortash: your butler is unpleasant.

Sceleritas: your inscrutable countenance makes me want to vomit my insides into the bucket of bhaal.

Gortash: so you finally acknowledge me.

Sceleritas: master, I beg of you, slay the tyrant.

Durge: we need him fel.

Sceleritas: there are innumerable amounts of banites, eradicate him, and i would be so proud.

Gortash: kill him, he called me ugly.

Sceleritas: did I stutter?

part two of my ocs!

Behold! Arani!

His name comes from the word arachnid. Cause like... spider... lily.

Hes like a true being of chaos and I love him for that. I even digitized him!

Then we got chari, the negotiator of the spider lily. I swear he's looks better in practice, I just didn't do him justice.

Here's his og design. I redid the clothes but the face is the same.

Then we got cethin, the treasurer.

He's the brother of chari, but they have a rivalry due to their difference in rank. Chari covers his left eye, which is an indicator of their bond.

All I got for them so far. But I mean, whatever. They're fun.

Next is my favorite in their dynamic! The court of the aconite.
