Circulate This Image Until It Becomes So Detached From Its Original Context That One Day You're Scrolling

Same honestly. I do this with every fandom I come across. 

My headcanon is that both Arthur and Hosea are ace. May this be because I am asexual myself? Could be. Do I have any regrets? NONE COWPOKES, N O N E

This man deserved a cat

New Crow Time! It’s the Hound Knight. He’s a good boy!!!

Demons Chase, Demons

(Chase POV)

“Hey guys! My name is Chase Brody and this is Bro Average! Today, since it’s so close to Halloween, we’re going to do something spooky. Human Ouija board. Today my bros Henrik and Marvin are going to help me.” In all honesty, this was Marv’s idea. Henrik said he would’nt let us do this unless he was here. He’s just paranoid. It’s not like Anti will show or anything. I’m a big boy. I can take care of myself. Maybe... maybe I can talk to Jack. I.. no. “Okay bros, let’s do this!” So Marv paints the letters on me as Henrik watches. I try to smile and laugh, but what if...what if we can reach Jack this way? Maybe we can wake him up. What if we can? Noone notices that I’m faking a smile. Marv finishes, and I’m honestly nervous. Okay...breathe. I have to ask the questions. I just have to breathe. “Okay... is anybody here?” Nothing. But then the thing moves to yes. I feel warmth. This is...”Tell me your name.” If this is.. J-A-C-K. My heart catches in my throat. “Are you really...” YES. “Do you know my name?” C-H-A-S-E. Henrik and Marv look on with wide eyes. We keep at it like this for a while. Then my head starts to hurt...something’s off. Henrik and Marv don’t notice. The whole world slows down. Really. Like time almost stops. I feel sick. C-H-A-SE. “Jack?” No this... this isn’t...something  warm drips down my face. I put my hand up to my temple. Blood? Scars are not supposed to bleed. This isn’t Jack. My neck hurts, like someone is dragging something sharp across it. A thin line of blood seeps from the cut. No..No No no! “Anti.” B-I-N-G-O P-U-P-P-E-T. I can’t move. Statik flickers before my eyes. I can’t close them. M-Y P-U-P-P-E-T. I shouldn’t have done this. T-O-O L-A-T-E. I shouldn’t have tried to talk to Jack. The static buzzes in my brain. Blood pours from my temple. It’s too late. “Anti...” “Ģ̶̦̟̺͓͕̲̈́̆̅̓͐̇͛̕̚͝ͅo̷̡̺͋ǫ̴̤͓͙̹̙͙̱̺̯̠̈́̉̋͊͝ͅd̸̜͕̗̹͐̉̔̆͑̐̉̌̌̕͠͝ ̵̱͎̜́̐̈̀p̵̢̗̲̳̫͍͇͍͑̇͐̓̈̒̍̇͆̾̃̌̍́͝u̴͔͍̙͛͐̓̒̓̎̌͐̉͗͝p̵̫̯͇̺̝͓͈͇̋͒p̵̨̨̞̻̟̭̻̠̥̬͍͗̀̉̍̇͒͊̅̓͝ͅē̶̢̢̲̣̹̻̘̞̰̪̦̎̇͆̂͌̚͜͠t̶̨̧͇̳̺͎̞͎̦͋̑̍ͅ

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore

who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”

at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it

Don't mind me, just saving this for later

Writing fight scenes

masterlist. main navigation.

1. Pacing

A fight scene should be fast-paced and intense. Unless it's a final battle with numerous parties, a fight scene that's too long tends to take away suspense. To speed up your pacing, use active voice to describe movement and don't overdescribe your characters' thoughts. Excessive inner monologue will be unrealistic, as people usually have no room to think during intense combats.

2. Character mannerisms

Here's a point that people often overlook, but is actually super important. Through fight scenes, you should be able to reveal your characters' contrasting mannerisms and personality. A cunning character would play dirty - fighting less and making use of their opponent's weakness more. A violent character would aim to kill. A softer one would only target to disarm their enemies, using weakened attacks. A short-minded character would only rely on force and attack without thinking. This will help readers understand your characters more and decide who to root for.

3. Making use of surroundings

Not only the characters, you also need to consider the setting of your fight scene and use it to your advantage. Is it suitable for fighting, or are there dangerous slopes that make it risky? Are there scattered items that can help your characters fight (e.g. nails, shards of glass, ropes, wooden boards, or cutlery)? Is it a public place where people can easily spot the fight and call the authorities, or is it a private spot where they can fight to the death?

4. Description

The main things that you need to describe in a fight scene are :

• Characters involved in the fight

• How they initiate and dodge attacks

• Fighting styles and any weapons used

• The injuries caused

Be careful to not drag out the description for too long, because it slows down the pace.

5. Raise the stakes

By raising the stakes of the fight, your readers will be more invested in it. Just when they think it's over, introduce another worse conflict that will keep the scene going. Think of your characters' goals and motivations as well. Maybe if the MC didn't win, the world would end! Or maybe, one person in the fight is going all-out, while the other is going easy because they used to be close :"D

6. Injuries

Fights are bound to be dirty and resulting in injuries, so don't let your character walk away unscathed - show the effect of their injuries. For example, someone who had been punched in the jaw has a good chance of passing out, and someone who had been stabbed won't just remove the knife and walk away without any problem. To portray realistic injuries, research well.

7. Drive the plot forward

You don't write fight scenes only to make your characters look cool - every fight needs to have a purpose and drive the plot forward. Maybe they have to fight to improve their fighting skills or escape from somewhere alive. Maybe they need to defeat the enemy in order to obtain an object or retrieve someone who had been kidnapped. The point is, every single fight scene should bring the characters one step closer (or further :D) to the climax.

8. Words to use

• Hand to hand combat :

Crush, smash, lunge, beat, punch, leap, slap, scratch, batter, pummel, whack, slam, dodge, clobber, box, shove, bruise, knock, flick, push, choke, charge, impact

• With weapon :

Swing, slice, brandish, stab, shoot, whip, parry, cut, bump, poke, drive, shock, strap, pelt, plunge, impale, lash, bleed, sting, penetrate

Me willpowering my way through the *sexy parts* in a new piece of media: "it's for the plot. It's for the lore. Good god I'm too ace for this. No I don't wanna fuck you, in this 7/11. Please just give me the lore so can leave"
