Show, Don't Tell:

My God. I hate her for real. Nah because my petty ass would definitely take my anger out on Riddle.

I just had an idea for story- Riddles mom come for like a PTA Meeting or family day and despises Crowley and worries for her precious little boy’s future if continues to be headmaster and for the plot just has Crowley arrested or removed as headmaster and replaces him.

She’s like Umbrige level of bad. She is in every class that Riddles in. Riddle is internally praying that this is just a bad dream. Trey is getting grey hairs. Confiscated Caiter’s phone. Probably installs alarms that makes a noise only cats can hear in the botanical garden so Leon can’t nap in there.

Like I’m just picturing an alchemy class where Adeuce and Grimm mess up a potion or cause an accident and it’s just … Bad.

Drags deuces mother, saying she can’t wait to meet her so she see what a laizy and horrible parent she is if her son can’t do basic spells and potions. After all Riddle master this when he was still in elementary school. Deuce is trying not to get mad, but when asks what his father would thinks and he mentions it’s just them Mama rosehearts would make a snide remark about how his mother being loose would explain her sons many short comings.

Ace might fight back- bad idea. “Do you think the real world be any different ? Who would ever hire a slob like you? I wonder where your parents went wrong if your brother was a model student.”

Then she turns to us, “I understand the previous headmasters decision to enroll you. Even with out magic you do manage to keep up better then your moronic friends. “ but she smiles at Yuu as says “control the beast or I’ll make sure that it won’t be a problem. If you can’t take care of something then you don’t deserve to have it.” Basicly says keep Grim under control or she’s sending him to shelter.

Big show down between Mama Rosehearts and Lilia. Calls him a horrible father and down right neglectful because of silvers narcolepsy. Idk came to but I’m curious what you think?

I love this concept. But also fuck this bitch.

Yuu tries to argue with her. "I don't have, Grim. He's a person and student just like everyone else!"

"That thing," the woman said glaring, "Is a mongrel. The only reason I'll allow it here is because it's admission is tied with yours and technically has not earned expulsion. Now I suggest you do as you're told and don't give me a reason to expel you both."

Despite the previous deal with Crowley, she won't make any agreement with Azul and forces him to shut down Mostro Lounge. She made a policy so Sam would stop selling certain items in his shop. She micro manages everything to the point where the Housewardens have no power over their dorms.

Pretty much everyone who is not Riddles friend takes it out on him. Everyone avoids him. He can't even rely on Trey or Cater anymore, because his mother kept them separate at all times. She even moved him out of the dorm and made him live with her in the headmages quarters.

Yuu is stuck. They're a ward of the school,and with Crowley gone, Ms. Rosehearts is technically their guardian now. If they outright fight back, she may just turn over them over to the system and Yuu can kiss any chance of going home goodbye.

However, she mostly only cares about Riddle. So late at night, everyone sneaks out of their dorms to hold secret meetings late at night at Ramshackle and discuss what to do. Everyone debates on the matter. Maybe they can get all the families like the Asims or Kingscholars to push for her removal. Maybe get Idia to dig up dirt and have her fired. Regardless of how, the Wicked Witch must go.

I hate the double standards

When trump won the american elections, people offered support. 'hey americans, you can move here if you want'. Everyone always made sure to specify that it was trump supporters/republicans/conservatives/the right wing/capitalism that wanted reggressive shit.

But here, no one specifies that it's the marcos supporters or the institutions or the political dynasties that helped brought fascism back. It's filipinos. 'you chose this' they'd say. 'i want nothing to do with filipinos and the philippines' they'd say. 'we thought you guys knew better' they'd say.

It makes me angry and bitter. People are starting to treat us like dangerous fascists, as if they're the ones who's gonna be affected by what's happening in our country.

It shows their ignorance. A simple google search can tell you that our institutions are corrupt as fuck and has a long and ongoing history of playing the people, and redtagging those who speak up.

And the election campaign itself? Marcos asked cambridge analytica to 'rebrand' his family's image back in 2020.

The appointed elections commissioner is the guy that served as marcos' lawyer during the election protest launched against leni robredo back in the 2016 vice presidency!

Marcos claimed to be an oxford graduate but oxford says he didn't even finish his degree.

He's a convicted tax evader back in 1995. That alone should've disqualified him. But because he didn't get prison time (because the conviction was downgraded to 'failure to file tax returns' in 1997), he still went through.

There was so much disinformation. So much bribery. And even on the election day, shit happened with machines malfunctioning and ballots were unsecure.

We do not choose fascism. Our shitty institutions run by political dynasties are pushing it onto us through lies and force.

This is how the Marcoses and Dutertes manipulated Filipinos into forgetting our own history and whitewashed their crimes and human rights injustices.

Citizens like the caller -- Josh, who sold us out for 2.5 Million Pesos a year.

Fuck you, Josh. Hindi ka Pilipino. Wag mong sabihin a job's a job kung ang trabaho mo ay nakatulong sa paglimot ng libo-libong namatay at tinorture sa rehimen ng mga Marcos at Duterte.

My favorite forms of affection

Holding hands.

Resting their heads over my shoulder.

Lying on their lap or chest.

Kisses on the forehead.

Playing with my hair.

When they give me that look of admiration.

Them making me laugh.

Giving compliments.

Putting their arms around me.

Making me feel heard and seen without even trying.

Random hugs when words aren’t needed.

When they remember the things I am passionate about.

Buying me food.

Them checking on me constantly.

When they respect my boundaries.

When they talk to me about things that reminds them of me.

When they speak their truth.

When they say they love me.

When they lift me up, support me and make me feel valuable and capable when I least believe in it.

Sorry he's just so fucking basic 😭

there are only 2 sides to the twisted wonderland fandom: you either hate neige with every atom in your body or you absolutely adore him.

On the subject of mermen and mermaids, I’m trying to think of a serious idea but the only thing that comes to mind is… A shy merman or maid, possibly with social anxiety, having a crush on a human. But all they can think of doing to show their interest is… catching fish and throwing it at said human. 

Not giving it.

Throwing it. Like at the head. And then vanishing under the waves again while the human tries to figure out WTF just happened.

why not both-

you can do one of two things:

consume the horrors

or

2. fuck the horrors

Tips for Writing a Difficult Scene

Every writer inevitably gets to that scene that just doesn't want to work. It doesn't flow, no matter how hard you try. Well, here are some things to try to get out of that rut:

1. Change the weather

I know this doesn't sound like it'll make much of a difference, but trust me when I say it does.

Every single time I've tried this, it worked and the scene flowed magically.

2. Change the POV

If your book has multiple POV characters, it might be a good idea to switch the scene to another character's perspective.

9/10 times, this will make the scene flow better.

3. Start the scene earlier/later

Oftentimes, a scene just doesn't work because you're not starting in the right place.

Perhaps you're starting too late and giving too little context. Perhaps some description or character introspection is needed before you dive in.

Alternatively, you may be taking too long to get to the actual point of the scene. Would it help to dive straight into the action without much ado?

4. Write only the dialogue

If your scene involves dialogue, it can help immensely to write only the spoken words the first time round.

It's even better if you highlight different characters' speech in different colors.

Then, later on, you can go back and fill in the dialogue tags, description etc.

5. Fuck it and use a placeholder

If nothing works, it's time to move on.

Rather than perpetually getting stuck on that one scene, use a placeholder. Something like: [they escape somehow] or [big emotional talk].

And then continue with the draft.

This'll help you keep momentum and, maybe, make the scene easier to write later on once you have a better grasp on the plot and characters.

Trust me, I do this all the time.

It can take some practice to get past your Type A brain screaming at you, but it's worth it.

So, those are some things to try when a scene is being difficult. I hope that these tips help :)
