I Hate How Hot Military Men Is Like Portrayed In The Media Because In Real Life Military Men Are The

just take me to a walkable city with good and clean public transportation and multiple parks and i'll be happy forever

*Yvonne writing*

Penelope: Hey Yvee! What are you writing?

Yvonne: A fanfic!

Penelope: Oh? About what?

Yvonne: You and Callisto, and the genre is romance

Penelope: wait- what?

Yvonne: Yeah, he commissioned me, I’m getting paid

Callisto: I told you to keep it a secret!

i miss vatanim sensin everyday ever since i watched it. i don't think a show has ever caused me so much impact. i love them so much.

i went into it almost completely blind (i had seen one tik tok edit of leon), 60+, 2 hour long episodes later it became one of my (if not the most) favourite shows ever.

sometimes i'll watch some scenes on youtube because i miss watching it so much.

but i can't rewatch it, i have no time, hoe do you rewatch a show that has 2 hours + long episodes.

so frustrating.

anyways, if you haven't already, and you love classical romances, go watch it, it's perfection. it's classical, tragic romance, and history based.

i knew nothing of ottoman empire and turkey x greece conflicts before this show, and it interested me so much i researched a lot of it afterwards.

honestly vatanim sensin was a life changing experience for me, not even kidding.

Tips on Pacing

We, as creators, seek that hook that gets the readers invested and keeps them that way. Nothing does that better than tension. There are all kinds, but it often occurs between characters. The "do they like me" of romance, the interruptions of erotica, the intense adversary from an unknown opponent, or the whodunits of mystery; Tension comes in all shapes and sizes, but it boils down to one thing, leaving the readers holding their breath in anticipation of the next page.

A large part of the creative process is figuring out how to create that tension without leaving the readers wanting to quit out of frustration or confusion. I would like to say there is a correct way to pace things, but it depends entirely on the story and situation.

Action scenes, for example, move very quickly, whereas a scene with a lot of dialogue will move at a snail’s pace. A spicy scene will emulate real life, moving slowly at first and increase its pace. A dramatic scene can be either fast or slow, depending on what it contains.

There are the peaceful scenes that do not move the same as any other kind of scene, showing the contentment of characters, the sun setting, or moving from one place to another. In writing or showing these scenes in a comic, it will go very quickly but the reader will perceive them as slow.

Showing a car ride, or a cooking scene allows characters to reflect on what has been happening and offers character development, but it does not have that tension at all. Still, adding those scenes is like adding bread to your butter. Now, everyone has their own tastes, but I would find it very odd to find someone who would consume just butter, especially if it was unsalted. Adding those peaceful scenes makes the ones that aren’t, all the more impactful, to both your readers and your characters.

The calm before the storm does wonders in storytelling, but the one thing you want to avoid is spending too much time in that calm. An example of this would be The Hobbit. Now, I love The Hobbit. It’s a classic hero’s journey, with a deep world build and rich characters, but parts of it are unnecessarily wordy. There is a page that describes the moss on the trees in such detail that you can taste it, which shows Tolkien’s skills as a wordsmith, but it was ultimately padding.

waits for the rage. Padding; words that don’t move your plot forward and only add to your word/panel count. Padding or filler should not be confused with peaceful scenes. Peaceful scenes will add to your story, padding will not. The literary world has changed a lot since Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, and we can see that evident in modern literature by the fact that there would hardly be a mention of trees at all, let alone the moss that grows upon them.

The next subject of pacing is sentence variation and flow. Now, flow is a tricky subject, and is not often resolved during the initial draft. When I am editing, things will sometimes be in the wrong order and disrupt flow. When flow is off, tension wanes, and when tension wanes, readers will lose interest. There may be entire scenes that I think don’t work where they are, but rather than delete those scenes, I find a place where they fit better. Perhaps that place is earlier, perhaps it is later. If you thought that scene was necessary when you wrote it, perhaps there is a proper place for it.

In A Galactic Star, the episode titled Repercussions, was supposed to happen right before the climax. I moved it up to allow the reader to understand Chrome’s hesitations between him and Neon.

Even in comics, you aren’t going to necessarily catch things after you just completed them. Many indie creators will recommend a space between writing the initial draft and editing it. The amount of time varies per person, but it is suggested to at least give it a day. The reason is because of the completion high; You just created this thing and in your mind it is amazing and awesome, not seeing the mistakes that are there. I feel as though editing is like polishing a stone; Every stone, no matter how grey or plain in appearance, can be polished into a stunning masterpiece if given enough time.

The editing process has multiple phases, the first is checking for spelling and grammar mistakes, and the second is checking the sentence structure for flow. Example: The loud dog barked. Vs. The dog barked loudly. The first is grammatically correct but makes you pause to process, whereas the second will allow you to move on to the next sentence without that stop.

Flow is a key component in pacing, which is a key component in tension, which keeps your readers engaged. As a potential reader of your story, I hope this will help you to bring it to life.

I always find it crazy how we can basically see everything on the internet including people's lives but feel so powerless when it comes to social injustices and war crimes like what's happening in Gaza right now, a genocide.

It genuinely sucks because I have access to the internet and technology but I do not have enough power nor resources to actually help those in needs.

I am nothing but a high-school student and I'm devastatingly watching people die simply for existing just like the Holocaust in the past.

I have enough resources and power to know and see what's currently happening but it's not enough where I can help them and it's truly sickening.

All I can do is help spread awareness and boycott ;(

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Help Abdelmajed Escape Gaza and Rebuild His Life

My name is Abdelmajed, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Everything I once knew has been taken away—my home, my safety, and the people

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.

The actual greek letter and its translation

Μαζί σου, έμαθα καινούργια πράγματα που δεν ήξερα για μένα. Στην αρχή δεν μπορούσα να δεχτώ αυτή την απαγορευμένη αγάπη, αλλά τώρα όταν σε βλέπω, τα αισθήματα μου ξεχειλίζουν.

Αγαπώ μια χώρα και μιλάω μια γλώσσα που δε γνώριζα καθόλου. Όσο περισσότερο γνωρίζω τη χώρα σου, τόσο περισσότερο σε καταλαβαίνω. Ξέρω από που πηγάζει αυτό το πάθος σου και όλο και πιο πολύ το θαυμάζω και αγαπώ.

Το χρώμα του δέρματος σου και τα μάτια σου μου θυμίζουν το γαλανόλευκο της σημαίας μου και πιστεύω στην αιωνιότητα του αστεριού της σημαίας της πατρίδας σου που ταξιδεύει στο κόκκινο χρώμα της και συμβολίζει τη ζωή, που εσύ δε θα διαστάσεις να θυσιάσεις.

Για μένα είσαι όλα τα λάβαρα όλων των Εθνών, όλου του κόσμου. Όταν σε σκέφτομαι τα σύνορα, το χρώμα κάθε ανθρώπου και τα σύμβολα τους χάνονται. Όταν σε σκέφτομαι χάνομαι.

——————————

With you, I learn new things I didn’t know about myself. At first I couldn’t accept this forbidden love, but now when I see you, my feelings boil over/overwhelm me.

I love a country and I speak a language I never knew. The more I get to know your country the better I understand you. I know the source of your passion and more and more I admire and love it.

The color of your skin and your eyes remind me of the blue and white of my flag and I believe in the eternity of the star on your country’s flag that travels/sails on its red color and embodies the life you won’t hesitate to sucrifice.

For me you are the flags of all the nations, of all the people. When I think of you the borders, the color of every person and their flags disappear. When I think of you I disappear.
