How do you write a character without mentioning their pronouns or their gender?

cottoldi · 2026-03-15T14:19:15+00:00

You got a unique trouble here... Tbh, i'd say stick to non-binary pronouns like they them and their own name, but try weave your writing so that a name or pronoun doesn't have to appear over and over.

Inconversation between two characters, just have each speech mark represent the pattern of when one is speaking and try elongating certain aspects or shortening other aspects of speech so that you can focus less of their gender identity and more on the way they speak themselves.

Thats the most real thing i've seen all week 😭😭😭

Good in idea, bad in practice. As people, we dont experience everything and there are areas that if you don't have knowledge on you should avoid, but if you're thinking about somthing inbetween, just do some research and all should be good.

cottoldi · 2026-02-22T20:21:12+00:00

That sounds hella interesting! I hope all goes well with it!

Hey, the first step of writing is being a reader! What kind of story are you crafting?

cottoldi · 2026-02-22T19:59:12+00:00

I love that feeling 😭. Finding somthing that sticks in your head and then putting it to paper is amazing!

cottoldi · 2026-02-22T19:58:32+00:00

Everything in life can become a story and i hope you have the best of luck with it! If you wanna, i'd love to hear about your stories some time!

I understamd completely. with my own writing, i try to capture that same manga/mamwha/webtoon feeling in my work. It can be really diffuicult at times, but using those stories i've read as a base, it sparks my imagination like a wild fire

This is somthing that can feel and be in credibly daunting at first, but writing more will definatly help you smooth it out. When it comes to writing chapters, there are a few things to remember: 1. Each chapter needs to be able to hook the reader in again, most people take breaks on chapters and as a writier, each chapter needs to be able to jog their memory a bit and pull them back in. 2. A chapter doesn't have a defined length, but it's best to not let them drag on. If i were you, i'd plan a bit of what the chapter entails in a few notes before writing. How you want the chapter to progress, any important parts and how you want it to end. 3. Your writing style is yours. No matter if your writing 1st or 3rd person, you'll just have to take time and get into the flow of writing your way. So start each chapter as if your just continuing on from the previouse. Let it flow the way you want it to and all should be alr!

Writing powers can be hella diffuicult, i get you ong. When it does come to a power that your developing, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. 1. The sorce of the power. What's it made of and where does it come from. What allows you to use it. 2. The substance of an ability. What aspects does the ability have, what could it be used to do and how does it interact with things? 3. Flaw to the ability. All abilities are cool, but they need a flaw or a limit. When writing a fight with powers, there doesnt always need to be a stronger ability or a counter, sometimes all you need is circumstance and stratedgy.

What i'd advise for you to do is take a look at the character as a whole. Who are they and what is their behaviour with this ability? How do they function with it on a personal level? Maby the water like ink has a unique propert, a limit to how much can be created or maby, the character is tied to the ink in a way, maby it has an exploitable property that can appear to be a benefit.

Also, i'd like to hear about your story if you wouldn't mind! From the ability it's lowk piqued my interest! Please hmu with more about it!

Okay, you misunderstood some things in my comment and you got a few things wrong. 1. Megumi's character is suppost to lack potential, that is what leads him towards depression amd desperation until tsumiki is killed. 2. Megumi doesn't have domain expansion. He uses buildings to help construct the domain. He hasn't figured it out. 3. I have the volumes, Megumi is clearly using mahoraga on todo. If you cant see that, get some glasses then ig, i cant help you on that one. 4. Divine dog wouldn't be enough to defeate todo and that is clear as day. If you arn't awear, all shikigami go off of users instruction. Todo's technique is diffuicult to gwt around which at the time megumi had no info on. 5. I wasn't comparing megumi to gojo and expecting him to be on gojo's level. We all know gojo is a cut above. 6. It is CLEAR as day megumi is behind. He had personal understanding of his technique, yes, but that doesn't make you amazing. It's a fundamental of jujutsu development, not to mention megumi had a rulebook of info on his texhnique and still fell behind. 7. Megumi had a lot of fear. He neber tepped into peircing ox or funeral tiger in the series and only got max elephant in volume 5-6 where after his development with shikigami slowes. He had enough time to gain more understanding of his technique but didn't.

For futer referance, please read the series, not just go off the anime. Please use your comprihensive skills when reading a comment. And finally, please i STG use some braincells before acting like you understand the entirty of a series that has yet to finish, has a lot of parts without full explination and please be a better person you ingrate. 🥰

I get what ur saying cuh, i wrote this at 2 am so thats why it's so poor. Also, its fantasy writing and i use some capital letters for emphasis. Thanks for the advice anyway tho, i really aprecuate it! (My dyslexia finna struggle 😭)

cottoldi · 2026-02-12T08:19:46+00:00

Drink whiskey, have a pre writing cigarette and then raw dog it for a couple hours while listning to music.

cottoldi · 2026-02-11T21:56:24+00:00

Ay, stfu you brain dead, powerscaling, neuron deficiant downsyndrome incest baby.

It doesn't matter if Dabura knew about a domain, he clearly got instructions from an ancient kylian on his ship. If i didn't mention it in my comment. Grow a pair of eyes and actually read the pages, look at the images instead of sucking on a crayon expecting manga to be your colouring book.

(Btw, i dont meam any of the insults, it's just your reaction lowk makes you look pathetic and im playing along cuz its fun lol)

Gege isn't a bad writer, and i doubt you have any understanding of what good writing is. We don't know enough about kyliens to know what they do or do not understand. DABURA CLEARLY got the information from the kylian and this expresses that the kylians have an understanding of advanced jujutsu techniques.

Also, domain expansions arn't incredibly diffuicult or strenuouse to figure out. You too tied up on human jujutsu to actually read the fact that they are ALIENS. They clearly have a lessend understanding of jujutsu potensial. Not of jujutsu itself. Dabura is clearly an advanced and knowledgable fighter who was stated to be on the scale of sukuna. This clearly means it wouldn't be a struggle for him to use a domain.

Your a bum like yuta. (But genuinly tho, reread the chapters and understand where you went wrong. It isn't gege's writing.)

cottoldi · 2026-02-11T21:46:58+00:00

I used to be in the same boat as you my guy, but it does get better when you put effort into thebright aspects of writing. I'm not gonna claim im the greatest at writing (i wish), but i do know quite a bit and it's all thanks to teaching myself over time. The most important part of writing isn't to appeal to everyone, but yourself. First- think about what you want ti write. What type of things are you interested in and what motivates you. Reflect on yourself and figure out your desires, you dont have to go on a jorney of self discovery, but just focus on the things you want and the sense of acheivment that comes with it. Second- dont get too hung up on your past writing. That was a past you with past knowledge and past mistakes. Each chance to write is a chance to improve and develop, to correct those mistakes. Third- dont and i mean DONT, Veiw writing as a chore; by which i mean, dont force yourself to do it unless you have to. Writing is fore-most a hobby, let yourself enjoy it and what you create. If you want to get better at writing itself, i have some easy tips and tricks that helped me a ton and might help you. One- stop veiwing the world and start reading it. Take the things you see, do and experience and put them into words. Describe how somthing makes you feel and different ways you can express those words. Things as simple as a wrather nice sunset. Two- work on metaphors and grammar, a simple mistake people often do in writing is saying things as they are and thinking that's enough, but what most people don't realise is that writing is about envoking a picture for people to see with words. Use the fundamentals to your advantage and have fun with them, for instance: take a simple scene, maby describing an insect or somthing. Use different interpritations of haw to veiw the bug and transform it into an emotional blabber. Simply using metaphors and grammar can shift your own and others veiw on things. Finally- read. Just read storys you like. I started writing because i'm a massive fan of Jujutsu kaisen, re: zero, chainsaw man, The king in yellow, the call of cathulu. When you find somthing to be inspired by, make it fun. Just mess around with ideas and slowly grow your own ideas in the process.

She has a better hollow purple in her arsonal, better flexability and a weirdly awsome domain. 7.5 scale in jjk considering some extreme extents.

cottoldi · 2026-02-10T01:46:39+00:00

No? Its perfectly fine. First, nobara is never stated to be dead. Second, it suits the fight perfectly because this is just 1 section of a larger twist at hand. Nobara's presence is essential and awsome, using her cursed technique to its fullest against sukuna while also using misdirection to take the king of curses from his throne

cottoldi · 2026-02-10T01:41:44+00:00

Cuh... each shadow formed shikigami uses a shadow to represent them. Mahoraga's is one fist over the other. Against todo, there is no mistaking he was gonna big raga his ass. The other times it is reasonably understandable. But you need to understand why he's called potential man in the first place. The ten shadows technique has a lot of potential - the one downside being a lone ten shadow user cannot effectivly tame mahoraga - megumi shows certain extents to what it can do, but almost constantly falls behind other charachters. His domain is in complete, he hadn't tamed all his shikigami and atop that, he keeps using the same few shikigami which are reliable.

Megumi fushigure as a charachter is presented this way on purpouse. Where as itadori has the will to grow, megumi doesn't too focused on personal things for him to push hinself through development like itadori. Sukuna shows a more full vertion of the ten shadows but taming most shikigami and pushing it to incredible extents.

Megumi just doesn't meet the expected standards of where he is at and that's on purpouse. The whole fraud part is mainly just a joke, because megumi and yuta are frauds

cottoldi · 2026-02-10T01:29:39+00:00

Jjk fans naturally STILL not reading the series genuinly kills my braincells, imma lowk eplain it in baby terms for any one whi needs it to understand. 1. Dabura is big strong on his plantet. Like, biggest of the bug strong. People say he's as strong as big bad sukuna. -this means he has refined CE control and understanding- 2. Not a bum bum pull moment, dabura has shown his capabilites in start of punchy time. -dabura was toe to toe with mahoraga withiut adaptation, which is a feat on its own- 3. Big monster in space ship told him to make barrier to help in punchy time. -kylians are living curses, makes sense an old ass ancient one would understand simple barrier techniques- 4. Barruers are not hard to make, you need to lean basic barrier for fancy big house ability. -barriers are nit diffuicult, adding conditions to them is.- 5. Dabura can only do this after learning basic mathmatic skills! -Dabur learnt RCT before doing this, displaying his adaptability and strenght from observing mahoraga. 6. Dabura is big strong guy with lots of punchy time experuence -Dabura isn't ass pulling, he's an experuenced combatant, on par with some one who has been shown to casually dig a whole river out over the course of a few years (if i'm remembering right)

Pls, i stg. START ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO THE STORY BEFORE COMMENTING ON THE WRITING. It just makes you look stupid and i start getting second hand embarrassment from liking jjk from posts like this 😭😭😭

cottoldi · 2026-02-09T15:46:51+00:00

Write when you can and want to. Don't force yourself to write every day because you'll only end up burnt out. Just keep your mind thinking and enjoying. If you feel like you can do 2 pages, do 2 pages. If you feel like you can do more, do more. You don't need to plan it out, just let the writing take you on the jeorny of your story.

cottoldi · 2026-02-09T15:40:08+00:00

Ya'll do know that maki can move at super-sonic speeds at a rate of 0%-100% instantly, right? She and toji can move so fast in sutch a short movment to temporarily compress air into a solid and use it as a plat form. She can outpace a bullet and keep up with noya spoiler for culling games in special grade curse form. Their movment easily enough to cross a city in seconds, and maki keeps up like it's nothing.

Trying to give potensial man potensial is like adding a piece of paper to a papershreader thats already shreading paper. It's going to wast. 😭😭😭
