I have nothing else to say.
What if I start referring to the book IT as the the canon and the movies (2017 + 1990) as the fanon? What then
Queerest names possible (in a good way), go.
Me, doing mental math to figure out if it's IT, Stranger Things, I am Not Okay With This, or none of the above: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeessss
sitting in class and no one knows I'm thinking about gay boys from the 80s
I wanna dress like Richie Tozier but in a 1990 miny series way
I wanna dress like Stanley Uris but in a 2017 movie way
I wanna dress like Stanley Barber but in a queer icon way
I wanna dress like Sydney Novak but in a sweaters and too many layers way
Richie “I thought blondes were supposed to be dumb” Tozier and Stan “and I thought people with glasses were supposed to be smart” Uris.

May I politely request your awesome human Perry design as:
Your art is really cool btw

Ways to get to know your characters:
These are just some ways I do t, feel free to add your own tips!
Google sheets. Just google sheets. Make a sheet for your story and create categories to fill on your character's traits. Very simple example:
2. Making Pinterest boards. Listen maybe I'm biased because I'm on Pinterest more than I'm on Tumblr and it gives me the most intense nostalgia of any website/app ever, but it may be my most helpful tactic. This works in plenty of ways. Making a board for one story's character designs and making individual categories for each character in that board. Making individual board for each character's design, aesthetic, personality, whatever. No example but I think you get it.
3. I might sound like you lame ass ELA teacher from 9th grade or whatever when I say this, but plot mountains are really helpful. Now I don't mean the plot plot for all you, "I just start writing and am as surprised as my characters when everything goes to shit." writers like me, I'm talking about an internal plot. To explain, there is an external plot (exposition, rising action, climax, etc.) and internal plot (character development,) making external plot mountains isn't helpful for me because I want freedom in my writing. I know where it starts and sometimes where it stops and that's good enough, but writing the development of a character is good to outline just for the foreshadowing and because CHARACTER FLAWS ARE FUCKING IMPORTANT. (Cue the one post about eating mayo packets)
4. Mark their birthdays in your calendar. Like google calendar or whatever the fuck you use. Anyway, dedicate their birthday to just getting to know them. Make a wish list of presents they'd like, or a slideshow about the party activities they'd like, or a pinterest board about what their party theme would be. It's fun, I swear.
5. Make lists of a bunch of stuff. Their flaws, their strengths, their favourite thing, their pet peeves, their favourite people, their pets, their little quirks they have, etc.
6. Physical objects. Make them, buy them, or just stuff you already have. Make a little box of things they'd like or have. Treat them like a friend. A real person. It'll inspire you to write or draw more and you can come up with little backstories on the items.
7. Give them a catchphrase. Even if they never say it, it's cute. I like them. Most people do, I think.

Where can I find accurate medical information on injuries. Like treatment, severity, and of course how long it would take to bleed out. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING-
Anyone else remember that one episode of scooby doo when they were in some like haunted hotel or sum shit like dat and the whole episode was just fred and daphne investigating or something while Velma tries to bang Shaggy. I'm not kidding. Shaggy's really worried about Scooby because the hotel was "no pets allowed" and never pickss up on how much flirting Velma was doing. I watched it for the first time when I was like 8 and I still remember thinking, "wow Shaggy's a fucking dumbass, stfu about the dog for 8 seconds a fuck yo girl or istg I'll do it for you." Okay that's not excactly what i thought but it's what my bisexual bitch ass thinking now

I've been making a series I hope to post on YouTube. I won't go into detail but y'know I think it's cool. Anyway it's really just a me and a few friends project. I'm writing the scripts and doing the animation (yes it's animated) while also voice acting like 14 characters. My friend is voice acting the rest and will be helping with the editing. Anyway that's just exposition for the funny part of the post.
My friend was asking me where as this was going and I vaguely described the season 1 ending to them. They asked for specifics and stuff and I was just sitting there like, "Mx. do you think I know the specifics? I'm as in the dark as you are! I start writing and shit happens. Until we get to the one scene that inspired my writing trip I do not know shit until I edit it! We'll find out together! :)"
So yeah that's my writing process, what's yours? It's probably less chaaotic is what I would say if I didn't know what writers are like.

As an AFAB with consistent nosebleeds who also frequently eats pizza asking me what the red substance on my clothes is is like playing bingo but everyone playing is blind deaf and mute. No one wins here but at the same time everyone does and also no one loses except everyone does. Is that confusing? Good, I need to take my iron supplements.
My gender envy spectrum as a genderfluid:
He/Him - Spider-Man (And sometimes Peter Parker)
He/They - Peter Parker (But never Spider-Man)
He/It - Wirt (Over the Garden Wall)
It/That - Darwin (TAWOG)
It/They - The Collector (TOH)
She/It - Velma (Scooby Doo)
She/Her - Melissa (Milo Murphy's Law)
She/They - Fluttershy (MLP)
They/Them - Stan (IT book + 1990 + 2017)
N/A - Dave/Evan/Chris/C.C./Crying Child (FNAF)
I don't think I missed any... but yeah this is my personal simple gender envy graph thing... yeah
