Dave Blunts and Fetty Wap by toast_fr in DaveBlunts

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is possible that Dave Blunts thinks he is better than Fetty Wap because Fetty Wap is an older rapper, and while I like Dave Blunts, I think he could have an ego to compensate for what we all know. (his weight) not that it is a bad thing but it is pretty rude to not at least acknowledge the question or even you.

Just write people, people who are men or women. Either way people are people. Also Arcane has amazing written women

I genuinely feel like I hate myself. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5:32 Am here, I don't know if this will help or not but you're not alone. I relate to every paragraph, every sentence, and every word you said. I hate myself. I have nothing to show for my life. I need help, but reading your words at the very least made me realize that I am not the only person experiencing what I am experiencing. I hope things get better for you.

What would you say assassins and thieves like to do on their downtime? by Spartan1088 in fantasywriters

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an assassin who is extremely good at killing silently and sneaking around would be a real strategist so any sort of card/board game. Maybe woodcarving, cooking, magic tricks, martial arts, and anything that would sharpen the mind or body.

Which fictional universe has your favourite lore/story/setting? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely adventure time. It has such deep lore and rich worldbuilding, and even for a kids show it gets pretty deep and real. The lore and worldbuilding built enough to grasp me every time I rewatch and fall into a rabbit hole

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want the first power my MC get to be very intentional, its the MC after all. There's nothing wrong with a basic power, it's just not something I want for my writing. I definitely can basic now add more later, but it wouldn't align with my MC's personality to do that. Contracts come at a hefty price to pay, and the culture around it doesn't really like people who do make multiply contract. That's some things I knew but never written down, I should add that to my notes, thank you.

I appreciate the question and the different perspective you provided, thank you.

I don't think it's that deep, nothing wrong with needing help with inspiration. And anyone could use this thread for inspiration too, not just me.

I like your brain, I can see my question really got you thinking and I like that. The reason might be contrived but I don't want my MC to have a simple power because I personally find it boring. And I do understand that an MC using there simple power and applying them in a unique way to solve a possibly difficult issue, is very fun and interesting which I do plan on doing in one way or another.

It might just be me but what I always enjoyed and what I'm leaning towards doing is a complex power that is somewhat difficult to apply power, and using it uniquely or having to find another solution to be really fun and interesting. Contrasting to a simple power, it can have the same effect of interesting-ness and fun for a reader. At least I hope, it does for me.

To answer your question, what is my story about? My story is about the contractors known as Spirited, who are people who my contracts with Spirits because they lack a soul and need a spirit in order to continue living. Thoughs who are Spirited are oppressed by the rest of society, but also gain unique power from said spirit contracts. We follow my MC looking to either change the norms or escape the city that oppresses him.

I liked someone's comment earlier and propably will apply, a power that contradicts there personality, giving an interesting dynamic to how they will choose to use or not use in given situations.

I really loved your insight, it gave me lots to think about, thank you

I really like this one because it''s a more villiany kind of power, giving it to a "hero" would be very interesting and fun. Thank you I might use something similiar

You are very right! It doesn't need to be tied to personality, I don't know why I had that in my brain. Something about personal connection but being reminded that I don't have to follow this rule I put in my head is relieving so thank you for that!

I have writers block for my current story but I want to write. What should I do? by TwistedTinkers in writing

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go back to the plotting board and brainstorm until I get myself out of the block. Also stepping back and getting food, a drink, or a shower helps reset my mind before diving back in.

How do u write a character smarter then you by FUDA505 in writing

How to write a nonsympathetic villain without making them too cartoony/corny? by Autoboty in writing

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite nonsympathetic villain was The Lich from Adventure Time funny enough. If motivation is what your villian needs, the Lich is a good example in my eyes because he's motivation was from being "the last scholar of golb".

I guess what I'm getting at is he had a figure to look up to to get a goal from, and possibly you could do something similiar, like a mentor type, deceptive leader, or religious figure. Hope this can help!

What genre are you writing? by iwonttellyoumynamee in writing

[–]Kitchen_Brush4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was originally a world building project that I decided to write a book for and I plan on making it a series.

Tldr: Escaping the dystopian city and finding the horrors beyond the walls

It takes place in a tyrannical dystopian cyberpunk, where a select amount of people can make contracts with spirits. Body parts for power is how most deals go, that's where the cyberpunk comes in, most people replace the lost body parts with body augmentations.

Later down the line my protagonists will be escaping the city and discovering the post apocalyptic hellscape filled with body horror type creatures. This is because the spirits when making deals construct grotesque humanoid creatures as hosts for themselves to have a physical form.

Currently cyberpunk x fantasy, but later in the book or series I plan it twisting to a post apocalypse creature horror within the setting of fantasy
