I Have Had An Incredible(y Heretical) Idea.

once more, noted

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

(save the images to zoom in on the pics)

I can see why

remembered how library of alexandria part 2 happened when cs pacat removed all the really good writing advice from their website blog…it was so good for people who are 1 on the apple imagination scale…

Maybe I am just overreacting. Maybe it is just British weather. But I just can't shake this feeling of doubt and concern. The weather has been getting more and more extreme each year too. Sure, I've always known it was important and dangerous, but I've never felt this way about climate change before, and it's starting to concern me.

I mean it is canon bats love to sleep in big piles. With the bonding between humans and gnawers in the last book, a big sleepy pile with Ares, Aurora, Ripred, and Nike isn't impossible.

They need to be friends and take naps together right now.

MY NAME IS PERCY ATREDIES, DUKE OF ARAKIS

Although already quite amazing, Kaiser Impact Magnus is still imperfect. Kaiser can also only do it with a static ball and not a moving one. And even with the static one, Loki was able to easily shut it down.

Kaiser has a lot to go.

And I’m racking my head trying to figure out how he can get stronger when his aim (love) and means (malice/restriction) do not align. Love is supposed to be freeing, and malice can never yield love.

He knows this.

He knows that love = freedom.

He knows this, and yet

...he rejects it.

By yearning for love while forging ahead with malice, he dooms himself to never actually reach love. And he does this on purpose, all for the sake of creating a restrictive environment where he, allegedly, is stronger.

Does it have to be like this?

Is there really no other way for him to grow while allowing love into his life?

...And is Kaiser actually stronger without love? Is restriction truly the answer?

Much to think about.

The Underland Chronicles, and everything is the same except people refer to the Underland as "down under", and everyone from the Underland has really strong Australia accents.

Gregor: *Falls into the Underland*

Multiple 5ft cockroaches: G'day mate!

Gregor: *Terrified screaming*

It's good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn't really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.

I'm not sorry
