Okay Here’s An Ask Game

Seeing all these deactivated TMNT art blogs makes me sad. :( there used to be so many different ppl creating art and writing for Bayverse…..

Birthday gift from the hubby! Midnight release!

“Look Ce!” Kisara twirled in the sleeveless cloak, “I’m Seto Kaiba!”

Celeste arched a brow, “Does he know you have that on? I thought he banned you from his closet after what happened to the purple one?”

Her friend winced, “That was not my fault.”

Saying "I love you" without saying "I love you" — some ways your otp can silently express affection

Forehead kisses, and smiling through the kiss

Resting their forehead on the other’s after a kiss

Tucking strands of loose hair behind their ears, with a thumb caressing their cheek

Interlacing their fingers with the other’s when they least expect it

Sleepy back hugs when the other person is busy whipping up breakfast in the kitchen, catching them by surprise

Just doing their own things in the same space; being so comfortable around the other even in their pyjamas

Holding both their hands while holding their gaze gently, just before leaning in for a kiss

Switching positions with the other when walking down a busy sidewalk because your feel the need to keep the other safe

Being playfully clingy in the mornings when one has an off day and the other has to rush to work

Getting them something from the store when they only mentioned it in passing

When one is overseas for a work trip and everything they see reminds them of the other person (bonus: whenever it happens, they take a picture and drop the other person a text.)

Squeezing their hand reassuringly and holding their hand throughout an intense social situation (eg. a large school reunion which the more introverted person is dreading)

Kissing away their tears

^ and letting the other cry on their shoulder even when their t-shirt gets soaked from their tears

Meeting them where they are, mentally and emotionally; never forcing them to do anything they aren’t comfortable with

Wholeheartedly supporting their dreams, and putting that into action by making concrete plans for it to happen

Dropping the other person an encouraging text before an important interview/event

Surprising the other with flowers just because; no occasion and no reason needed

Picking the other person up from work when it’s getting late, and walking them right to their doorstep after

Good morning and goodnight texts

Making the other person a Spotify playlist with songs that remind them of their relationship and growth

Remembering the littlest of things — activities they like and dislike, favourite brands of stationery, go-to ice cream flavour, choice of popcorn

Writing little notes on post-its and leaving them in random pages of their textbook, so that they will get a little endorphin boost when studying

This is an oc x canon safe zone.

Elements of Creative Writing

Setting

Where is your story taking place?

You may have one, or you may have various settings depending on your story's demands.

The setting can be as small as a single room in a building or as large as an entire city or country.

Consider the genre and tone of your story:

For example, in a thriller, jumping around settings can disturb the reader’s sense of stability, while a domestic piece might benefit from consolidating the action in a single room to heighten the drama.

Character

Characters drive the plot and overcome the central dilemma.

They are the individuals with whom your readers identify and become involved.

Your characters can be whoever you want them to be—human or not—and carry any traits you want them to have.

Look around you for inspiration.

Everyday life offers an abundance of characters in every walk of life, providing endless sources of inspiration to ensure your characters are believable.

Plot

The plot is the arc of your story, traditionally made up of three parts: the setup, the confrontation, and the resolution.

Every piece of writing, video, or music has a plot—something happens throughout the time you are engaging with it.

Ensure that your writing always has an underlying plot, giving every word you write a purpose.

Point-of-View

The point-of-view is an essential tool in creative writing.

Readers rely on the central storyteller to relay the plot through their eyes.

There are various options for choosing whose point-of-view to tell your story:

First person - I, and me

Second person - you

Third person limited - through one central character

Third person omniscient - seeing all characters’ minds

Experiment with different viewpoints until you find the one that best presents your story.

Conflict

Conflict is the central hook to any expert story.

Traditionally, conflict occurs when the protagonist encounters an adversary or antagonist.

This antagonist could be another character, nature, society, technology, religion, or even the protagonist’s inner beliefs or personality.

Conflict drives the narrative and keeps readers engaged.

Theme

A theme is the underlying message conveyed in your writing, separate from the plot.

Themes can be universal and resonate with all audiences, such as greed, good vs. evil, defying the odds, and coming of age.

Including an underlying theme adds depth to your writing, helping your audience gain a deeper understanding of you as a writer and your purpose for writing.
