Supernoodle77 - Supernoodle's My Name - Tumblr Blog

If you’re over 30 and write and/or read fan fiction, reblog!

Ok I want to say something controversial

But you are responsible for your own safe spaces. You can block tags, block words, block people.

“But i thought fandom was supposed to be a safe space” —yeah you have to curate it.

Unfortunately one persons’s safe space may be another persons’ trigger. That’s ok. Simply block them, block the tag, block the word etc. They can do the same for you.

Maybe I’m just out of touch, but I’ve been around since the days of “don’t like, don’t read” and that’s a good philosophy. If it squicks you, scroll past. If it causes you anxiety or upset, block! Plenty of people are responsive if you ask them to tag an upsetting trigger. And if they’re dicks about it, block em.

Tumblr is just a nice little place where you can take off your ‘real person’ face and roll around in piles of garbage tailored to your unhinged hyperfocus five minutes before you stand up and go back to your zoom meeting

Spoilers for The Batman!!! And maybe trigger warnings.

So I saw The Batman yesterday. Dark and moody, and just enough whump to tickle the Whumperflies in my belly. Been thinking about the movie since I saw it and realised that Bruce is not just sullen and moping, he's actually mentally ill, probably suicidal. His emo billionaire depression isn't for show. He spends every night fighting criminals and madmen - seeing the very worse of humanity, then spends the day sitting in the dark, reliving the horrors, snapping at the only family he has left, not talking to anyone - his only "friend" is a cop who doesn't even know his name. There's no joy in his life, no happiness, he barely functions other than when he is wreaking vengeance. At the end, after taking a rifle shot point blank to the chest, he's ready to just lay down and die, and he seems pretty much at peace with that - it's only when Selina gets attacked that he shoots himself up with berserker juice and brings himself back from the brink of death (something he could have done at any point but didn't). He's ready to die but someone needs saving, so he forces himself to get back into the fight, and that is The Batman in a nutshell. This film really does show Bruce Wayne's dark and tortured soul like no other movie has and I totally get it now.

I just want to see fictional men get hurt, but not like in a weird way. don't make this weird

what people think is hard about writing: describing the joy, love, beauty, grief, loss and hope that form the richness of human experience

what is actually hard about writing: describing basic actions such as turning, leaning over, reclining, gesturing, saying something in a quiet voice, breathing, getting up from chairs, and walking across rooms

“There’s bruising. Shortness of breath. Bleeding. Swelling of the glands. It’s hard to know what happens next….”

Fan of Supernatural? You might enjoy this.

Ummm... What episode of Dr Who is this from??? Jebus, no wonder I grew up a whumper with this childhood content! 😂

Lethal Weapon 2 | Martin Riggs Shot

One of my favorite scenes in the movie. You can find the video here!

You are free.

I love the A-Team movie. There's 18 million Fast and Furious movies, but only one of these. Life isn't fair sometimes. If you haven't watched it, I recommend. And while you're watching, you might like to wonder about the missing scenes before this bit, and ponder how Face got hurt? Was it an explosion? A fire fight? A motorcycle accident out in the desert, laying there injured in the burning sun, waiting for Hannibal, B.A and Murdoch to come and rescue him? The whump possibilities are endless. If anyone fancied writing a fic about it I would definitely read it 😊

Does anyone know of a post Endgame fic featuring a heavy dose of Steve Hurt/Comfort? Because Thanos totally did a number on Steve, that had to be a broken arm there, and a concussion, and that sliced up leg - that had to hurt. A lot. And bleed. A lot. I really want to read that fic, you know, where he maybe collapses into Bucky and Sam's arms, or even bonus points for maybe even sinking into Thor's. They could maybe go back home to new Asgard for a while to recover and mourn Tony (extra marks for all the grief as well as whump), because where else do they all have to go? ... I really want to read a fic like that, but I can't find one and I really can't be arsed to write it (although I probably definitely will)

hey, friendly editor-writer gremlin stopping by to remind you all that in creative writing, every aspect of language is a tool. You can’t throw things out of the toolbox, because you never know what you’ll need for a specific situation or task!

Some tools are general purpose, like grammar, punctuation and sentence structure – you use them all the time, except in very rare circumstances where building a passage without those tools would make a statement, or convey meaning in a certain way. Some, like passive voice or adverbs, only come out every now and again. The trick is knowing how and when to use which tools. (Which is why I vastly prefer to think of various writing techniques and language components as tools instead of rules).

Lots of advice tells you to dispense with words like “wondered”, “thought”, “felt” because they are passive – they put a barrier between the reader and the narration. But! What about when you want to create a barrier? i.e.,

How was that fair, he wondered. \ he wondered how that could be fair.

This feels distant, contemplative. Perhaps a character is pondering the fairness of something, but they’re not quite emotionally invested (yet). Perhaps they don’t want to think too deeply or look too hard at an issue, and so they’re keeping a degree of emotional distance. 

How was that fair?

A direct question – the character is asking themself and the reader to consider the implications of something. 

It wasn’t fair.

A statement. This is what the character feels; this is, for better or worse, their opinion of the matter at that moment in time. 

Another common example is adverbs: “don’t use adverbs! use a stronger verb! say ‘whispered’ instead of ‘said quiety’!” etc etc. But whether you use a “stronger” verb, or add on an adverb, is (again) a matter of picking the correct tool for the job. Sometimes you need to use a mallet instead of a hammer, even though both seem functionally similar; and sometimes either tool will suffice. 

“Hey,” she whispered.

The word “whisper” in itself doesn’t have a lot of emotion attached to it. It’s just a thing you do if you need to be quiet for whatever reason. 

“Hey,” she said softly.

“softly”, however, does have emotional connotations. There’s tenderness here, or at least gentleness. Using an adverb adds a whole other layer of meaning, which is great when you’re crafting emotionally heavy scenes. 

Compare this to:

“Hey,” she whispered softly

which is a tautology. Whispering is soft (usually). You only need to describe how someone whispers if they break convention, and in that case you could also pick a different verb – that’s very much a stylistic choice on your part, as the writer, and depends on what sort of atmosphere or meaning you want to convey. Like this:

“Hey,” she hissed \ “Hey,” she whispered sharply 

In this case, “hissed” and “whispered sharply” could be used interchangeably, but they could also be used separately, depending on the writer’s requirements for that scene. Both convey urgency, but there are subtle differences in what sort of urgency it is. “sharply” has connotations of severity, chiding, or a short temper; “hissed” feels slightly more desperate, although it could also be read as angry, based on what else happens in the passage. 

I could go on, but I’m low on spoons and still need to hit my word count for today. Basically, the tools you use are very important and you shouldn’t take any of them for granted or dismiss them out of hand, and if someone tells you that you should, don’t let them get to you.

Plotting

Everything has a beginning, middle and end. Therefore, I divide my whole book into three acts, three acts into three blocks, and three blocks into three chapters. They can all vary of course- but having 27 points really helps. This method is not my own- I used Katytastic’s. Click here to learn more.

Basically everything has these three points-

Set up

Conflict

Resolution

World

Races :

Creatures :

Religions :

Magic System :

Technology :

( This is very basic but a good place to start imho)

This also follows something Brandon Sanderson said: a story is the intersection of characters, plot and world tied together by conflict.

I really hope this helped you! Reblog if it did :)
