Villain-adjacent Tropes I Like 

50 INTERESTING WAYS TO BEGIN A STORY.

I am well aware of the turmoil of finding a gripping story beginning. God the pain! So I present to you prompts to help y'all hook the readers !

The arrival of a letter or email or package. ( Whether the contents is good / bad depends on you )

The text of a letter / email/ diary. ( You might wanna dive right into what it says and let the reader learn about the character reading )

An invitation to join a club / attend a party / to do something shocking.

A death of a character.

The main character is in a frustrating situation. ( This can quickly help readers to empathize right away )

A main character is in an awkward situation.

An escape from a boring meeting or prison or someplace unwanted .

Someone discovers a dead body.

A funeral is held for someone in the family / the community.

The beginning or the middle of a disaster. ( a bombing , a plane crash, an Apocalypse.? Anything really)

A birth.

The aftermath of a disaster.

A character does something which will be discovered later. Eg; sneaks a love note into someone's possession, poisons the wine, plants a bomb in a car, etc.

A game or contest.

A kiss.

A performance or the conclusion of one.

One character rescues another.

A main character declares he is in big trouble.

A main character is clearly in big trouble.

A main character is in the hospital.

A main character sees a house or city for the first time.

A plane/ ship/ train arrives. ( Your OC might be on board or watching it. If they're on board, you can take the readers on a journey)

Someone gets amazing news.

Someone gets devastating news.

Someone goes on a date.

A scene at a party/bar / nightclub.

A fight scene. ( OC may be participating or watching the fight )

An all-out battle scene.

A character moves to a new place

A dramatic moment in the middle of the end of the story. ( You can decide to start like this and backtrack to show how they got there )

Someone is arrested.

A courtroom trail.

A job interview. ( This helps the story start with the main character being vulnerable and the readers can empathize with them while getting to know them through their inner monologue )

The main character gets fired from their job. ( A nice method for instant empathy)

A chase scene. ( Nothing better to pull the reader than a little action. Hehe ~)

Character or characters wait for another. Maybe an ambush or a surprise party.

A busy street scene.

A character/characters getting ready for an event. Eg; getting dressed, put on makeup, shaved, do their hair .etc

A visitor shows up at the door. ( a stray cat? A future love interest? Someone your character dislikes? Etc )

A character commits a crime.

A character witnesses a crime.

Characters or a character do a job.

One character teaches another how to do something.

Character or characters preparing to dit down at a meal

A character comes across a significant object. ( probably a magical object? A dangerous object like a gun? It could be anything. )

Someone teaches or attends a class.

Your main character discovers something shocking in the possession of their loved one. For example, imagine them discovering a gun / a suicide note, a bloody knife, or clothing, a large amount of hidden money, very disturbing photos, etc )

Your character running away from something or someone dangerous / deadly.

Your main character waking up in an unfamiliar place. ( A nice method to start with a little mystery. Spicy Bonus points: they don't remember how they got there in the first place. Or better yet AMNESIA!! There are many ways to get around it.)

50. Your character being followed. Or they're the one following someone)

Fictional Kiss Prompts

So I borrowed a bunch of these fictional kisses from this post and made it up into a prompt list. Feel free to reblog of course!

breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you’re murmuring into each other’s mouths

moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/onto the bed

kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person’s 

throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss

hands on the other person’s back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that make them break the kiss with a gasp

lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up

routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck

starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in passion

a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss

when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead

height difference kisses where one person has to bend do wn and the other is on their tippy toes

kisses where one person is sitting in the other’s lap

kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing

top of head kisses

Prompt #72

Superhero sighed, "This has to stop. This... tension between you two," they said, trying to put it as kindly as possible. "It has to end."

Hero huffed, "There is no tension. Villain is just annoying."

"Right darling," said Villain, swirling the wine in their glass, "of course there isn't. Next thing you know you won't believe the stars are real either."

"What is your problem?" Hero snapped.

"Currently?" Villain ignored Superhero's tortured sighs in favour of looking at Hero from the bottom up, "my problem is that you are nowhere near bewteen my legs."

Hero's jaw dropped.

"So you get where the tension is coming from, no?"
