With Sausage and Joel's dirty daddy penpalling and Scott's not so subtle obsession with handcuffs flirting, Empires smp is gradually getting less and less PG

What breed of fish is this

no cause i had a dream about this and i'm pretty i dont dream very often help

Idea: Grian is genderfluid. Ariana Griande is his femme name.

No one suspects a thing. And here is why.

No one would ever think that a god of chaos would end up on a server known for beautiful builds and working together. That's why no one suspected that a Hermit would be said god.

So when a low ranking watcher showed up stating that they were looking for a god everyone was surprised. But they let them in to look around.

The watcher went around the server, they met Doc, Ren, Bdubs, Tango, and more. But they didn't suspect any of them of beng a god.

They had questioned the Admin, Xisuma, but there was nothing out of place, nothing that was a sign to the missing god of Chaos.

The watcher met Mumbo, and Scar. But neither of them knew much about this god. Then they met Grian, he looked familiar, but didn't know much.

There was nothing to find..

So no one suspects a thing.

the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams

oh the darkness got a hold on me

being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways

I've fallen in love with @roenais 's design for Grian and i now have the urge to make an au for it.

How to write a satisfying ending

By Writerthreads on Instagram

I found that writing endings is one of the hardest parts of writing. There has to be some emotion behind it, but how much? And do you make it happy, or sad? Satisfying, or suspenseful? All of these are hard questions that you have to ask yourself even before you start. Here are some tips to help you with your story's ending.

Know what you want

When you're planning your story, have a rough idea of how the book or series will end, or at the very least, what will happen to your main character(s). This way, you can revolve your plot around the character and move things around while the final few scenes remain unchanged.

Try different endings

Experiment with different endings for your story. Will there be a final battle or a grand event? Or is there a surprise ending? You could build the story towards an ending that the readers can predict then change course last minute to spice things up.

Mimic the beginning

Does your story start with a phrase or at a special location? Use it again in the grand finale. If the story starts at a New York City penthouse, you could end it there again in a full circle. If it starts with a sentence that a character says, let them, or someone else of significance, say it again. (This works especially well if the original character says it dies.)

Invoke emotions

In my opinion, the best endings are bittersweet and satisfying. Make sure that the readers feel something, so they will continue to think about the book long after they're finished with it. Some of these books include The Fault in our Stars, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Midnight Library, and The Song of Achilles, to name a few.

Allow room for expansion

If you don't feel quite satisfied by the ending and think that you can go further with another undeveloped storyline in your book, or you want to expand the world you've built, you can always write a spinoff series! This was done beautifully in Chloe Gong's Foul Lady Fortune, that continues a few years after Our Violent Ends.

Make it satisfying

Whatever you write, make sure the story feels concluded. Every major plot point should be purposeful, and they should all lead to the ending that feels closed. Make sure that all plot holes are fixed, and anything left ambiguous can be inferred to be left like that on purpose.

This is a bit hard to explain, so it's better to ask beta readers this question when you send the final draft off to them. We have a post called "Questions for beta readers" for more information!

Whatever you decide to do with your story's ending, treat it well and write lots of versions of it until you get the perfect one! Good luck and happy writing!
