All Vargas kids have curly hair here bc it’s my sleep over and I get to pick the movie.

I’ve read so many imagines I feel like one day imma tell someone my name is y/n 🤔

OKAY I have been meaning to do this for MONTHS but hey, there’s no better time than the present so buckle up, here we go! THESE BOOKS ARE A GODSEND. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for writing aids that ACTUALLY HELP. If you’re like me, and occasionally venture out to buy books on, let’s say, showing vs telling - you will always get the same rehearsed speeches on what that means. -summons pretentious writer’s voice- You’ve got to shoooooow what’s happening in the scene, not teeeeeeell~~ BAH! What you NEVER get, however, is how to do it, or how do it better.

THESE BOOKS ARE THE STUFF OF DREAMS

Each of these is so freaking helpful, I can’t even convey. They all follow the same format as the pictures I’ve shown above, so you get one detailed page of descriptions followed by tons of more in-depth, thought provoking concepts. I’ll do my best to lay out the five that I have and if you are interested, hop on over to Amazon and buy these suckers up because they are AMAZING; I have NEVER used a writing resource more than I use these. Negative Trait Thesaurus & Positive Trait Thesaurus -gives you a definition of said negative trait -gives you similar flaws also found in the book -gives you possible causes of WHY the character might have this trait -gives you a list of other behaviors the chara might have -gives you examples of the chara’s thought process -gives associated emotions -gives positive aspects of the trait, as well as negative -gives examples of well known chara’s that have this trait -talks about how the chara might overcome it -gives traits that, when combined with this one, might cause conflict How I use this information: Chara building, or when I get stuck on what I want a character to do. Man, I just can’t decide what they WOULD do. Well, awesome, I have a little guide to help me think through the character’s possible motivations. Also, I get help building a potential backstory because I get a framework of which to think, why is the character this way? Urban Setting Thesaurus & Rural Setting Thesaurus -gives a whole lot of examples of sights, smells, tastes, and sounds -gives examples of textures and sensations (ie at an ‘antique shop’ you may encounter chipped paint, distressed wood, etc) -gives you possible sources of conflict (ie at a ‘hotel’ you might have noisy neighbors) -gives list of people you might expect to find at said location -gives related settings -gives tips on this type of setting -gives a setting description example How I use this information: IMAGERY IMAGERY IMAGERY Emotion Thesaurus (aka MY FAVORITE) -gives a definition of the emotion -gives physical signs and signals (ie chara may look pale, might fidget, etc) -gives internal sensations (aka, blood pounding in the ears, dry throat, adrenaline rush) -gives mental responses (ie fight or flight) -gives cues of acute or long-term impacts of the emotion -gives ‘may escalate to _______’ and directs you to other emotions -gives cues of suppression (ie cues of suppressed rage) -gives writer tips How I use this information: I love this book so hardcore, it’s so helpful with internalizing. It’s great because I get to step outside of that box of using the same five responses to a certain emotion and start really thinking about, what can a character do instead to show that they are feeling this, rather than me using adverbs or his adrenaline pumped fifty gazillion times. These books are all co-written by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi (bless their souls) and if this sounds of interest LOOK INTO IT!! I get such buyer’s regret after buying writing guides but these are legit the best ones I have found and I reference them so, so, so much. Hope this helps anyone out there looking for something life-changing!!

Meanwhile in the USSR

Russia: So. Who broke it? I’m not mad. I just wanna know.

Ukraine: I did. I broke it…

Russia: No. No, you didn’t. Belarus?

Belarus: Don’t look at me. Look at Lithuania.

Lithuania: What? I didn’t break it.

Belarus: Huh. That’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?

Lithuania: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!

Belarus: Suspicious.

Lithuania: No, it’s not!

Moldova: If it matters, probably not… Estonia was the last one to use it.

Estonia: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Moldova: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Estonia: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Moldova!

Ukraine: Alright let’s not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, Russia.

Russia: No. Who broke it?

Belarus, whispering: Brother, Latvia has been awfully quiet…

Latvia: Really?!

Belarus: Yeah, really!

…

Russia: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Why do you all still make england out to be some boy with a stick up his ass all the time look at this.

I want them to have regular get togethers where they all bundle up and just rELAX no fighting or anythING just chilling everyones safe and ok!

So this is before Artemis and Wally get together but after M’gann and Connor. Wally has no intentions of sharing, but everyone except Connor took that into consideration haha. Artemis is telling Kaldur what a terrible film choice they’ve made.
