Wow holy shit I’m gonna actually give you guys an actual writing tip, being a published and award winning author and all.
Anyways, a great way to work in TOTALLY UNRELATED little details about your setting or what have you that may or may not be relevant later on is through the use of metaphors, euphemisms, etc. in character dialogue.
“This cold is terrible! I’m wearing more layers than an Aenirian bride!”
Congratulations, you now know something about Aenirian marriage customs. You might not even know what exactly an Aenirian is, but you know that their brides wear lots of layers.
See where I’m going with this?
also even though it seems like common sense little details add so much depth and flavour to a story even and maybe especially when those details aren’t plot relevant
not everything in the real world connects neatly and seamlessly with everything else; there are TONS of loose ends in real life because there’s an entire world that keeps going regardless of one particular person or group’s drama
having proof of a world outside of and utterly unconcerned with the main conflict is such a nice touch and a really quick way to breathe life into dialogue
Get ahold of a blood pressure cuff. You’ll need to measure your BP and pulse.
The website below has the exact method, but, basically, you lay down for a few minutes and take your BP. Then, you stand up, stay completely still (no fidgeting, no talking, nothing), and periodically take it again. If your pulse goes up more than 30 points when you stand up or your blood pressure drops while you’re standing, take those results to your doctor.
so as it turns out, staff never actually removed the fanmail feature like they said they were going to, they just removed the link on each person’s blog that made it possible to send fanmail, but it’s still entirely possible to actually send it if you just go to blogname.tumblr.com/send
the system is still there, they just removed the button for it
it’s like that lady who deleted the internet explorer icon i’m crying
Just tried to send one. It whined at me about using the messaging system, and the “send” button is greyed out, but everything else works.
can we talk about the decontamination scene in s2 e4 is because
Keith pouting with his arms crossed because he’s not happy about this and he and Lance are side-eyeing each other because OF COURSE THEY ARE. poor Hunk is completely covered in squishy asteroids because Lance was using him as a shield the entire time.
Pidge hates every second of this. Keith is still pouting. Shiro has decided to set an example for good hygiene and Lance follows suit albeit much less enthused. Hunk looks up, amazed at the miracle that is water.
Keith is still pouting he hasn’t moved at all. Shiro continues to be a role model. Lance flashes back to every embarrassing moment in his entire life. HUNK IS HAVING SO MUCH FUN LOOK AT HIM
they’re uNDER WATER AND KEITH IS STILL POUTING WITH HIS ARMS CROSSED. Lance is surrounded by his own element and feels at ease, stickin his legy out. Hunk is goodness incarnate.
KEITH IS STILL DOING IT. Shiro is very relaxed I’m happy for him. Lance grabs onto Hunk for support to avoid getting blown away and Hunk is okay with it because he loves his friends. Pidge does not grab onto anythi
fun fact the west coast does not have cicadas so you can imagine my surprise when my LA ass moved to Philly for college when all the trees started screaming while they’ve been on fire plenty of times where I’m from they never screamed
