look, im just a slut for some magical exhaustion okay give me your whumpees overusing their magic and having physical repercussions from it, bloody noses, unable to stand, getting progressively weaker, utterly exhausted and spent !!
bonus points: if they know they are running low on magic but they have no choice but to keep using more until they just collapse
bonus bonus points: if their magic is somehow connected to their life force!!
tropes that will always f*ck me up
composed characters losing their composure
kind characters snapping
characters hugging each other after one or both of them have been through hell
character cradling their significant other’s face while they kiss
character says something hurtful. later on in the movie they are in a similar situation and say something kind instead.
self sacrifice
griefstricken women (who under normal circumstances wouldn’t hurt a fly) lashing out and striking the person responsible for the loss of their loved one
ugly crying
characters struggling to talk because they’re about to cry
characters reuniting with someone whom they thought were dead
FOREHEAD KISSES

Some frames from my “Jaikarn” comics.
***It’s a free webcomic I update every month, but it’s not available on english; english translation in progress .______.
Very much inspired by this post by @papanorth
a quick little doodle I did for my fic while procrastinating. It's about Grimm Reaper!Haru (writing omnipresent characters is my new fav thing)
give it a read if you're interested: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15660843
i talk a big game about enemies-to-lovers but i’ve only just now begun considering the possibilities of friends-to-enemies-to-lovers. they were friends. there was a BETRAYAL. now they’re enemies. but then… they fall in love… maximum potential for pining… achieved
this is so self-indulgent is2g but what if this audio was in video form??
so basically what we have here is: makoto having the courage to leave a love message on haru’s phone and haru stays in bed and thinks about it while he plays it again and again
this took me like three hours j e s u s
“Why are fanfictions always so much better written than canon??”
Because they’re catered to you and your ideas of what the characters, story, etc. should be, which doesn’t always line up with canon.
It’s not a matter of which one is objectively better, but of audience.
Fanfiction is made for fans by fans with copious amounts of fanon concepts made to appeal to, well, the fandom. This is not inherently bad, and obviously the amount of fanons and which ones will vary from fic to fic, but given that the quote above generally only applies to fics the poster likes…yeah. That fic is written specifically for you and the people who agree with you. Again, not inherently a bad thing.
BUT that is not the case for canon. Canon is not written for the fandom; the fandom can’t form until after the canon exists. How that fandom changes as different people come and go as they decide they do or don’t like the directions canon takes is another story, but nonetheless unlike fanfiction it is not written to cater to fanon concepts and preferences. And “not catering to fanon” is not synonymous with “bad writing”.
Now that said, yes there are obviously fanfics out there that are objectively very well-written and creative, and yes there is canon material out there for whatever book/movie/tv show/etc that objectively isn’t so great.
But most of the time, your perception of fanfics is better because they’re tailored to your biases. Not because they’re objectively better-written.
Again, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that–it’s completely normal to prefer/enjoy things that fit your opinions/headcanons–but maybe step back and consider that a moment before you go and bash the creators of your favorite book/movie/show for not following the same plot of your favorite fic.
angst with a happy ending is my favourite honestly like yes bitch give me emotional conflict but dont completely ruin my soul you know
