Since its that time of year again, I’ve been thinking about Over the Garden Wall, and I think one of my favorite things about it is that, other than the fact that they’re lost in some strange woods, their problems are so normal. Like, in so many shows the problems are things like “both of my parents are dead and their last wish was for me to do this really emotionally taxing life long quest” or whatever, but Wirts biggest problem is that he cant tell a girl that he likes her, and that his mom somewhat recently remarried, and his half brother is kind of annoying in that little kid way. They’re just such normal problems, and it feels like its one of the few heroes journey sort of tales where the main character is just some kid. Hes not some chosen one, hes not the most popular kid at school, but hes obviously not outcast because pretty much everyone who sees him in the Halloween episode greets him in a friendly way and try to include him. He’s just a normal kid, but he still has these unique little traits that make him interesting, like that he plays clarinet, and writes poetry, and is kind of a pushover but is also really passive aggressive when he wants to be. Its just such a good show, and every time I rewatch it I find another little thing that I love about it.
Marvel women, written by men: 🧍♀️I can’t have babies 👶🏻😫😢 I’m a monster 😢😢 yes this is the deepest my backstory can get btw 😉😨 isn’t it harrowing 😱
Marvel women, written by women: I will subject an entire town to my will if it means the chance to see you again. I will drink my grief, knowing I am damned and that I cannot protect you, and will still sing out my heart to crowds of thousands in the hopes they will keep you safe when I’m gone. I crave power so intensely that it has overpowered any sense of loyalty to anyone, and I will betray again and again and again, but I will still be wounded when you betray me because it was you. It was you.

MCYTBLR HOW ARE WE DOING??
hi there! I’m in the process of making character profiles and in my search for some descriptions I stumbled upon this little gem. It’s a list of 638 character traits including positive, neutral, and negative traits you can use to describe your characters. I found it super helpful so I figured I’d link it here for my own record and other writers. you can also find the full list under the cut.
hope this helps, enjoy writeblr!

You know what I’m really liking about Luz and Amity’s relationship? There’s no stereotypical relationship roles.
The Owl House does such a good job at breaking cliche rules, for real, like:
-Amity initiates everything
(ex. asking Luz out first, the cheek kiss, and now their first actual kiss)
-Luz acts more like “the gentleman”
(aka giving more compliments, spinning Amity around, going on a “rescue mission” for her)
-Amity is more protective
(“Stay away from my Luz” / “Don’t talk to my girlfriend like that!” / “Just don’t get hurt” / “I just want to know that Luz is safe”)
-Both lead during the Grom dance
There was no “who’s gonna be the ‘man” they both just took turns leading, which was cool
-Amity initially got more easily flustered around Luz
I mean we all saw “tomato face Amity” lol
-But Luz got more easily embarrassed around Amity
aka the whole tunnel of love scene / “Oh Crikey!….I can’t believe I just said that, I need to be more cool next time!!”
