Magic

Imagine if-

Chase Brody was resurrected by Marvin, and the spell took a little bit of Marvin’s soul to cast, transferring magic into Chase.

✨💀 Samuel!Ghost 💀✨

Watching Sam's films and TV shows really did help me in figuring his structures because I swear his facial structure's so unique. Tried my best to make it look like him, and I think I quite nailed this one!

also greasy hair my beloved ✨

Hope you love it! (❁´◡`❁)

Every time I see an ace headcanon/canon confirmation post and someone in the notes is saying “but but but they had kids! They had sex! Oh by golly gee that just isn’t possible!” I lose ten years of my life

Sanders sides theory

I think the next side is going to be paranoia (possibly Virgil's alter). They're going to be orange (possibly yellow too). They would be the opposite of Virgil, because paranoia is unhealthy worry. Plus, paranoia could be seen as a good thing before it gets out of hand and drives you mad. They could be once a light side turned dark when the others realized what they were. In some videos, they accidentally refer to paranoia around Virgil and immediately apologize. Why else would they apologize unless there was a paranoia 'incident' involving Virgil? They could also be Logan's alter, because paranoia is the opposite of logical reasoning. But hey, That's just a theory. A Sander's sides theory! (I'm watching to much Game theory.)

You guys don't only use water and tissue...? 😳

My friends who just got their first glasses: i need this highly expensive special cloth to wipe them, I also have this eyeglass cleaner from the same company, did you know you shouldn't use your t shirt unless it's specifically soft

Me who's worn glasses since middle school: *slaps soap onto the glasses and washes them in the sink then wipes them with toilet paper* what

This man deserved a cat

Onslaught

Lately I’ve been thinking about how powerful Charles Xavier really is. If he had an entity like the Phoenix, yikes. 

Don't mind me, just saving this for later

Writing fight scenes

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
