Oh and I’ve watched If too. I loved it. I liked Mrs. Dursley’s British ballerina buddy. (Hehe alliteration)

@whalekeeper I watched legend of hei and I really loved it. I love the whole parent child dynamic it was so cute. I think they should make it into a series. Also the fluid animation made me happy. It reminded me of the first season of Wakfu a lot.

OH

Never mind :]

I have watched IF too XD

@savannah_grace2009

Glad to see someone else feels the same XD Life is hard, that way.

I’m so glad you girls like it! 😄 I have a friend who adores Infinity very much; we watched it among a larger friend group and everyone squealed over him for some reason XD And Hei is super cute.

@esther-c

I find stuttering very annoying to read when it’s written in the dialogue every time the character speaks. But you can write it out if the character doesn’t talk that way 24/7, since it’s less to see on the page. Maybe you write out the stuttering when it’s serious, and mention it in the tag if it’s a normal part of conversat…[Read more]

(I’m posting this here cuz I don’t want to make a whole new topic 😛 )

I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, so I wanted to hear what y’all think. Do you find it annoying to read stuttering when it’s written into dialogue?

I ask that because some people suggest to indicate that the character was stuttering by the dialogue tag. The probl…[Read more]

Yesss! For some reason I loved that movie too. (:

And let me clarify, God’s chosen roles for male and female are a moral thing. I am saying there are many different ways to express those roles, and what is more, in fiction these roles can be switched or twisted on the surface to make a point. I don’t think that’s always bad. I also think many traditional traits of the two genders are superficial…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I don’t think Min means you should actively hide your writing from your family, just that you can refrain from doing so if you feel like they would give superficial feedback. (Feedback that is preference-driven. For example, “I think the story should be funnier/have more fight scenes/have a dragon in it.”)

Everyone has…[Read more]

YaYAYAyAyAyAYAaY!! 🤣 Tell me what you think afterwords!

@mineralizedwritings @otherworldlyhistorian

Do not br faint of heart, my friends! 🤣 (I am sorry about crunchyroll…) Hei is free on Tubi, you can get there through Google without any hurdles, at least on my device.

Highly recommend the anime movie Legend of Hei. Starts off a little slow but the relationship which the movie revolves around is very satisfying. Best watched with friends who appreciate both action scenes and fuzzy feelings :]

@rae

I would approach any character as an androgynous person first, and build up a semblance of personality before developing them with gender in mind. Because otherwise you might fall into your default female tropes.

It’s like what Esther said, thinking of them as a character rather than a girl/guy.

Literally, with one protagonist of mine, I…[Read more]

Looks like yours is Sept. 21, 2022! You’re only one month off from me!!

@grcr

Thank you, and congrats too! 🥳

@mineralizedwritings

I go to my page, topics, and scroll down to my first ever post which was on the Start Here forum. ;]

@ellette-giselle

I’m obviously not a guy, but my advice would be to find a happy medium between those two extremes. (Unless he actually would be on one end of the spectrum). Try to think of him as simply a character. Keep in mind that he’s a guy, but don’t get so caught up in that that you give him a reaction that isn’t consistent with his per…[Read more]

@hybridlore

You’re right – personality is soo a part of interpreting mental process. Even if it only covers the surface.

@grcr

That’s crazy! I just checked, and my KP birthday is August 10th… 2 years 🙃
