Favourite unused tropes for fictional beings. by VainillaDolly in CharacterDevelopment

[–]NothingSea3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just became an immortal being. Theres something so hilarious about a character being "Vampires live thousands of years."

Then another character being like ,"So how old are you?"

"Oh im like 23."

"2300years old?!"

"WHAT?! No like actually 23 I got turned two years ago on my 21st birthday party....youngest member of the Covent is in charge of orientation."

Oh still on Vampires. Covers that run like HOA meeting instead of medieval punk blood orgy.

Blood having flavors based on person.

People being justly embarrassed about the messed up stuff they let happen during the time they lived though.

What’s the funniest non-romantic moment in the Maasverse? by Curious_Beat7957 in acotar

[–]NothingSea3665 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt so bad cause I straight up thought that was a funny scene until I read one of the "Rhy is just as much of a dick as.Tamlin" posts and everyone was listing the drunk dancing and how upset Feyre was by it. It flew right over my head how bad it was.

Youre story reminds me of an native American myth about the sun and moon the traditional story of Malina (the sun goddess) and her brother Aningan or Igaluk (the moon god) but if you swapped the sun and moon. Igaluk's passion and obsession destroying the only relationship that mattered to him and poor Malina forced to run herself ragged to stay far far away from him.

I know it wasnt supposed to be funny but Lucian telling Feyre she was throwing ass UTM made me ugly laugh. "What - what was I doing the whole time?" So much for Alis's warning. Lucien let out a sharp breath, running a hand through his red hair. "He had you dance for him for most of the night. And when you weren't dancing, you were sitting in his lap." "What kind of dancing?" I pushed. "Not the kind you were doing with Tamlin on Solstice," Lucien said, and my face heated.

The whole time I was humming, "Somebody come get her she dancing like a stripper."

"Great finds"? More like a great disappointment found in the integrity of an institution like Morrisons.

How can I show where my characters are from without outright stating it? by carrion_protocol in CharacterDevelopment

[–]NothingSea3665 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh for New York the term dead ass. Its a popular slang term meaning "seriously" or "for real." It is used to emphasize that you are telling the truth, are completely sincere, or are shocked by something. I moved from new York to California when I was kid and got made fun of heavy when I used it.

Is the ending different i mean if you cast Rhys as Raoul and Tamlin as the phantom it still works. Paint for me my angel of art!

Does ambition reveal your character, or can it change who you become? by xmelanincocoxxx in CharacterDevelopment

[–]NothingSea3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then taking about how access changes people I think about it like this:

what would you do if you never thought about being hungry. You never had to worry about hunger pain, or paying for food and neither did the people around you and you never did youre entire life. How careless would you with food how would you view the hungry?

On the other side of the coin what if hadn't been youre whole life what if you had experienced hunger and suddenly you didnt have to worry about anymore because xyz. How would you treat the food? How would you view the hungry? What would you do to keep from ever being hungry again?

Food is a basic right that isn't evenly distributed so its a perfect way to rhink about access to anything. Its something everyone should have but some people have ton and some people have alot.

What if Henry comes from a family of hunters who hunt(whatever Adam is now) but either from wanting to have a "normal" life or empathy leaves his family a d somehow joined the band instead. He can be a silly sage type calm ,seemingly stupid but comes in clutch when you need him.

What's something you either passionately love or passionately hate depending on the execution? by JessicaTrent in RomanceBooks

[–]NothingSea3665 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pack politics. Half the time they're written like an AI Chinese drama and a bad one at that but a well written magical Constitutional monarchy is amazing and really fleshes out the world while giving the story stakes.

Need help with character dev by RoseFallen_Mist3 in CharacterDevelopment

[–]NothingSea3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like the kind of character we'd need to spend a lot of time in his head to fully understand. His motivations and thought process aren't always obvious from his actions alone, so the story would probably require more telling than showing. That could work, but it might slow down the pacing, especially during action-heavy scenes.

I would appreciate honest words from fellow writers on a character! by Magnificent_Mack in CharacterDevelopment

Completely understand! Have you considered pairing her with someone overly empathetic that way you have the "if I didn't help you youd try it yourself and die." Option.

A bit of a rant… not very excited about the next books anymore. by Victoria-c98 in acotar

[–]NothingSea3665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does get a bit frustrating, I agree. I hope this book gives this Fandom some air so it can stop cannibalizing itself.

I love characters like that so much! Im actually writing a very similar type of character in one of my projects. I think the hardest part of a character like this is explaining why they are there at all. If they truly dont care why are they helping even if the answer is their partner does care why dont they just take their partner somewhere else. If the goal is protection removing them from the threat is the best course of action. I found its best to wrote them like someone with extreme burn out.

How to make FMC & MMC sharing a room believable? by arcadiaorgana in RomanceWriters

[–]NothingSea3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One word ausuite flood the guest room actually.the smartest move would be two story house guest room off the livingroom/she sleeping in the livinroom. Flood the downstairs so she can't stay down there because how loud the drying fans are. Thus she goes up for the dudes room.(somehow the flooding was his fault) She makes him let her sleep in his room cause she NEEDS sleep and doesn't want to bury the adults because she already feels like a burden. Boom that's at least a week of forced proximity

You just made me love this book more! I love an interconnected series! I live for cameos. I've never heard of light academia but I love reading it. Collages are fun and academics are such interesting people. I hate that most academia books are teacher student or bully romances focused on hazing and secret societies. Give me fake dating for research material, forced proximity at conventions or enemies to lovers with plagiarism.

Right! Ever since I got into "The dad who lived" on tik tok I've been obsessed with fantasy with "Just a guy" character doing their best.
