So, I'd Like To Draw Quickly Some Sketches As A Little Challenge, So Maybe Give Me Some Ships With This?

Best I have ever seen.

This is great

I HAVE THREE TUTUS LETS FUCKING GOOOO

svsss fics have the best starting lines

whether it’s poetic or not

(im rather fond of the more crackish ones)

They’re always amazing.

(the fic that inspired this post is ‘you’ve got to be kitten me!’ by tskmo on ao3)

(go read it)

I READ THE NOTE

Most-used word in each US state.

PART THREE

Aggressively chugs milk

Aggressively sips tea

Trembling while drinking coffee

Side eyes someone while having a juice box

Part two of things I have done

Staring up at the ceiling in both horror, disgust, fear, and honor.

Numbly looking on at a past version of my self beating someone else up

Shaking my leg at the wall as if to disagree with its very existence

Looking at the floor as more and more disgusting things appear in my sight

Muttering Anhedonia underneath my breath as I furiously work on a project

Sounding out syllables for a made up language in math class

Understanding Morally Gray Characters in Storytelling

Definition and Core Characteristics:

Complex and Ambiguous Morality: Morally gray characters exhibit traits and make decisions that do not fit neatly into the categories of 'good' or 'evil'. Their actions and motivations often blend aspects of both.

Humanized Flaws: They possess human flaws, which make their actions and decisions relatable and believable. These flaws often drive their complex behavior.

Realistic Motivations: Their motivations are multifaceted and realistic, often stemming from personal experiences, traumas, or societal pressures.

Importance in Storytelling:

Adds Depth: These characters add depth and richness to the narrative, providing a more nuanced and realistic portrayal of human nature.

Creates Tension and Conflict: Their unpredictability and complex morality create tension and conflict, driving the plot and engaging the audience.

Reflects Real Life: By portraying characters with both good and bad qualities, stories can reflect the complexity of real-life moral decisions.

Examples and Their Impact:

Walter White from Breaking Bad: Initially a high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with cancer, Walter turns to manufacturing methamphetamine to secure his family’s future. His descent into criminality and moral compromise makes him a quintessential morally gray character.

Severus Snape from Harry Potter: Snape’s actions and allegiances are ambiguous throughout much of the series. His ultimate loyalty and sacrifices reveal a deeply complex character motivated by love and regret.

Creating a Morally Gray Character:

Blend Virtues and Vices: Give your character a mix of admirable qualities and significant flaws. This balance helps create a sense of realism.

Motivations Over Actions: Focus on the character’s motivations rather than just their actions. Understand why they make certain decisions, even if those decisions are morally questionable.

Consequences and Growth: Show the consequences of their actions and allow for character growth or regression. This evolution keeps the character dynamic and engaging.

Impact on the Audience:

Empathy and Engagement: Morally gray characters can evoke empathy from the audience, as they see parts of themselves in the character’s struggles and decisions.

Moral Reflection: These characters prompt audiences to reflect on their own moral beliefs and the complexities of right and wrong.

Discussion and Debate: The ambiguous nature of morally gray characters often sparks discussion and debate, making stories more engaging and thought-provoking.

By understanding and effectively using morally gray characters, storytellers can craft richer, more engaging narratives that resonate deeply with their audience.

Me once again scrolling through my very specific preferred fic filter:

Why does this one say edit/delete that’s concerning I shouldn’t be able to delete others work OH WAIT WHAT THATS MINE WHY DID THAT SHOW UP

Let it continue on into this endless abyss

New discourse: it's actually predatory to date someone with a different star sign than you, because the differences in your personalities means you'll never be able to have exactly the same life experiences, thus leaving a knowledge and power gap between the two of you which will inevitably lead to an abusive relationship!

also if you're a Sag and you're dating a Taurus, that means you're secretly seeking a May-December relationship, which is age gap coded!
