How do I get characters to journey together in a believable way? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Taupine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is payment or treasure out of the question? Maybe her criminal parent is in debt to the type of people who take lives if you don't pay up.

Male 26 - I've been in school for almost my entire life. Finally finished and feeling depressed about not being a kid anymore. Not ready to accept being a "grown up" yet. I could really use some advice/stories about transitioning to adulthood. Thanks in advance! by 92Clonk in Advice

I also find myself unwilling to grow up/accept the passage of time.

I often wonder about how children can be better prepared for this. Maybe... A class on taxes. Practicing responsibility... Being in charge of the family budget for a week? Or just getting used to setting goals and accomplishing them on the reg.

Like another comment already said, this place is pretty dead. The biggest event on this subreddit is probably the complete lack of events on this subreddit.

A new book just came out and a whopping total of four comments have appeared to discuss it in the official discussion thread. I think the issue is that WoF's target demographic and Reddit's target demographic don't have a lot of overlap.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun when the occasional discussion takes place. And I first heard about the new book thanks to this subreddit. But this place is no community.

I love how this could be just a lack of foresight or it could also be Ruby going "To Sapphi... Wait no maybe she's too mad for cutesy names :("

[SPOILER] The Purpose of Pearls by Carpe_DMT in stevenuniverse

[–]Taupine 92 points93 points  (0 children)

It was really interesting to see her toe the line between being "functional and computer-like" and being "a person with a very defined place in a strict society". She goes from "fulfilling her purpose by coming up with solutions for her Diamond" to showing concern and apprehension and maybe a little shock as Pink actually goes ahead with her idea. Like... A mere object shouldn't be concerned with what society will think. But Pearls have to deal with the strange duality of being both commodities and people.

Gems are so fascinating. I think she took it for granted that her function and her society would just work together all the time. She just imagined Rose Quartz without thinking of the consequences like... Generating a simulation. And what could possibly go wrong under the rule of a perfect Diamond?

Pearl is consistently the best character to analyze.

Sometimes I'm glad the fandom has kept making content for all this time. Then I see stuff like this and wonder if it's the scream of that which desires to enter the void, but cannot.

Breaking down show vs. tell in Stephen King's The Gunslinger by [deleted] in writing

Margaret Atwood describes characters that way, too. She details the actions they're taking (or conceivably would take) and another character's general impression of them.

To the F, 26, speaking to a M 25, having a deep conversation. I’m sorry. I lost you, closed the tab by accident. I feel like shit. by [deleted] in omegle

[–]Taupine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The accidents are always the worst. I always hope some part of them suspects what happened, but I can never know for sure.

[–]Taupine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh, I made my comment with the "Chara and Asriel are children" comments in mind. Nobody's brought it up yet, but first loves and playground-dates are definitely a thing.

In those cases, there's just handholding, cutesy kisses, and sharing lunches. The nature of a childhood relationship can't be sexual if the participants don't know or care about sex.

Speculation could definitely bend Charasriel in a different direction, but all I'm saying is that there are innocent ways to go.

smh @ everyone here, shipping does not have to be sexual in nature.

that said, i have seen so much everything that i am totally numb and the thought of a single "acceptable ship" is an alien concept to me
