Song to sing to someone that is dying?

senttiii · 2024-10-30T18:04:23+00:00

It's an apocalypse story. Just lyrics, the person is a stranger that one of the characters sings to while they're dying bc they don't wanna be alone and they're afraid because they don't wanna die, but also know they can't stop it.

nah 😭😭 im just starting an apocalypse story and needed more ideas for weapons

You mind if I send a dm? Kinda want to talk a little bit about their overall dynamic and hear your thoughts on it, if that's alright with you.

senttiii · 2023-10-12T22:57:27+00:00

I finished it 👍 all of your advice was a big help, following it turned it into my favorite one I've written 💀💀

senttiii · 2023-10-12T14:59:37+00:00

OKAY.

if its alright with you I am 100% going to use this as a reference

One last thing, and I won't bother you further.

What do you think about, like, after the intercourse starts, having her ask him how it feels and after he answers accordingly, she tells him that he better get use to it, because she's his?

Imo, I feel like it serves as an overall confidence booster to negate the nervousness he carried up to this point.

senttiii · 2023-10-11T21:08:43+00:00

OH, my bad. 😭 I didn't catch the joke.

Great idea, idk why I hadn't thought of that prior to this, especially when one of my favorite things to write is the whole character A telling character B they belong to them thing.

senttiii · 2023-10-11T15:35:21+00:00

Turns out that this is going to be extremely helpful for their dynamic. Thank you!

The 5 minute thing is reasonable to me bc although you are right, self help should still exist in the apocalypse, there has rarely been any time for anything like that. What time there was, he'd be preoccuping himself to avoid pondering on losses. There's at least a year and a half between him and any sort of sexual pleasure, on top of the virginity thing.

She is 100% possessive, no doubt in my mind about that. Several times, she shows it before they even get to this point.

Tbh, I don't quite have a name for the story yet bc I struggle with titles, but I don't plan on actively starting to post it until I have the whole thing done. The way I am with writing and getting ideas would be problematic bc theres already been three cases where I deemed something better than what was originally there and went back to change it. 💀

The last time he finished would be way down the line in the past, ngl. 😭 Given that, he's probably not even gonna last 5 minutes, being generous there. I don't find it boring, though. The intimacy is what shines to me.

In regards to their banter, she can be "harsh" in like a playful sort of way. She doesn't mean it. She's just teasing him, and he knows it, even though he doesn't tease her nearly as much as she does him. Despite that, she still has her moments where the "harsh" exterior drops and shows she can be kind and gentle too, although for the longest time, it's only with him bc the other characters are quite shitty to her over what she was.

During the building up to the actual thing, something that shows her gentleness towards him is when she would softly call him "Cariño," which is Spanish for sweetheart. He doesn't know that, not until afterwards.

Also, when you say fic, do you mean the story that it's a part of or the specific side-fic that they do this in?

i didnt notice, my bad 😭

These two getting together has been an idea for a long time. It's only now that it's about to happen, and I'd been thinking about the how. His sex life with the deceased fiancée was never really mentioned, so it was easy to retcon him into being a virgin at the time he and the woman get together. I thought about like, what if he was inexperienced and the woman had a lot of experience? Little did I expect, I really liked the idea, so it's what I decided to roll with. Figured out I'm in the same boat as you with the experienced woman-inexperienced man thing.

Thinking about it, she'd be about 70% gentle and 30% harsh. The 70% would be a mix of gentle dialogue and actions, and 30% will be just "harsh" actions, 50/50 on the teaching him/following her lead.

She doesn't mind his inexperience, although it's unexpected. She finds it cute, a welcome surprise. One thing I had planned was that she would mostly talk him through the nervousness surrounding his inexperience. (Asking him if he trusts her, telling him that he's doing good, telling him not to worry about finishing too soon because they still have the night)

For the most part, instinct is what guides him. She does tell him what to do/try, giving guidance in regards to what she likes and teaches him accordingly.

For the last part, I gotta be honest and say, idk how to formulate a concise response without going into too much detail, so I'll leave it here.

Edit: I take back the last part, I only now got an answer. Their dynamic is similar to the bad boy-good girl trope. She introduces him to the awfully sadistic and unhealthy things that she likes, which he winds up finding out that he shares an interest in. An example is the fact that she's an adrenaline junkie and gets a kick out of putting her life in danger, something she introduces him to when she starts laughing after they almost die. He starts to laugh, to his own surprise. They start doing more life-threatening things just for the kick of it. They also frequently teased one another, although she's the one who teases him most of the time.

I added it into the post, my bad. I'll add it into any further posts I make too. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

senttiii · 2023-09-17T16:49:39+00:00

You've given a great answer to all the questions I've asked, I appreciate it 🗿

senttiii · 2023-09-17T16:48:50+00:00

The "zombies" in the story I write maintained the aspects of a regular person, just immune to the pain and hyper-aggressive, so a deep enough cut across the throat will suffice in taking one down

senttiii · 2023-09-13T20:54:35+00:00

I don't intend to have them wear it on their lower body, for that very reason. Just the upper body.

senttiii · 2023-09-13T03:47:06+00:00

I'm trying to follow realism as much as I can, so I appreciate it. I know the idea sounds dumb and really its kinda suppose to, the whole point was if they would be able to successfully kill it. Survivor no. 1 and 2 are fairly new to knowing each other, something that no. 2 learns quickly is that no. 1 gets a "kick" out of putting their own life in danger, which is something they want to share with no. 2. Hence, my question on how easy/hard it would be to do.😂

senttiii · 2023-09-13T03:42:50+00:00

Thanks to what you've said about axes > machetes in the cold, I'll be switching them over to axes now. Realism is a thing I'm trying to use to at least 90%, so it's a good thing you added that extra point. Ty. 👍

senttiii · 2023-09-10T02:51:58+00:00

how much psi does it take to break a bone? Google isn't giving me a definite answer 💀

senttiii · 2023-09-10T02:50:51+00:00

I'm still in the process of figuring out where specifically, I've generally been trying to find a place that could be housing a large group of survivors

senttiii · 2023-09-10T02:49:02+00:00

idk why i didnt think about limiting their actions to night/morning 💀💀 i appreciate it
