OH MY GOD PLEASE PUT MORE MONSTER HIGH CHARACTERS INTO THE SPIDERVERSE STYLE

My bitch💔😔

This needs to be taught to people. Holy crap this is useful

No idea who needs to hear this. Because I've been writing, professionaly as my job for over a year and this only just clicked for me.

Dialogue does not have to be followed with 'X Said/Told/Yelled etc etc.' You can just move on to an action. IE: "Can't believe you did that!" X dropped to the floor, narrowly avoiding a sword that flew through the air where her throat had been seconds before.

I know for many writers this isn't some grand revelation but maybe it'll cause an epiphany for someone else.

GUYS THREE OF THE UPPER CLASSMEN I LIKE SAID HI TO ME AND MY YEAR IS MADE OMFG

OHMIGOSHHHHHH ITS TIME FOR TESSA!!!!

more under the cut :3

I LOVE HER SM AND I LOVE DRAWING FURRIES OH MY GOSH?????

she's so me core, and i love how i did her sm

her outfit is an outfit i have, except with a shoestring belt and words on the tank top

personally, i feel she's a kenomimi, and probably a therian and furry too

i really only see her with Elle and Juliet at most, with Elle as her service dog/them being super sweet and cuddly girlfriends, and Juliet being the one she guards and being her knight x princess thingy

I feel Mio and Sawyer probably 'share custody' of her in reality, but I don't wanna think too hard on that right now

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

Luna mothews save me

No one loves the bright lights more than me 🔴v🔴

Pretty rich boy Touya who's only interested in little dorky poor boy Keigo, with old boots and holey sweaters, a book bag that isn't really much of a bag, and try as he does to keep himself clean only his wings seem to ever come out new. 

Keigo, who carries with him a tattered 'ol ducky plush wherever he goes and fades from one quiet corner of the classroom to the other ends of the playground, beneath the trees older than life and keeps to himself.

His brown paper bag pulls taut as his side, flatter than even their picture books, as he munches on a slice of bread and the birds gather at his feet. But like some kind kin of their own, they merely peck at the grounds, never fighting him for his food. 

Keigo is never the center of attention, never the track of spotlights, his voice softer than his mother's lullabies, but Touya tracks him across every room and all of the playgrounds all the same.

One look at Keigo and everyone else doesn't exist. No amount of dirt will ever cover him in the eyes of little Touya.

The headcannon that Hawks has a cat is just perfect
