that's because (and no offense intended) straight romances are so... urgh sometimes"

They can be problematic. A lot.

Um... well, there's Halara, and that means chill, laid back. And Iris, maybe, for the second one? Or if you wanna be ironic, the first one.

I CAN TESTIFY AGAIN.

[Sofia]

I based the characters off of whatever shit's running around in my imagination. That's why they're so underdeveloped.

HOW?!??!

[Sofia]

Chaos Queen wrote: "I should make one of them some crazy bitch with bright blue dyed hair and she's just completely insane. Likes screaming. A lot.

That's some A+ character development right there."

I love this.

[Sofia]

Chaos Queen wrote: "I don't want EVERYONE to be a depressed piece of shit with a tragic backstory."

*cough* Six of Crows *cough*

[Sofia]

I've only figured out one tragic backstory in which the character accidentally kills... well, I'm not going to spoil anything. But I need another tragic backstory.

[Sofia]

Chaos Queen wrote: "How am I supposed to make a happy side character, or how did I outline the whole plot?"

Both.

[Sofia]

I have no idea what I'm doing for the plot. I'm just mindlessly wandering and doing whatever the characters tell me to do.

And I'm not good at being happy, so everyone's going to be depressed.

[Sofia]

Chaos Queen wrote: "So I thought up lots of plot points a while ago.

And yesterday while I sat at the dinner table staring into space, I figured out the rest until my mom asked me what I was doing and I had to stop."

I think of genius plot points in the shower or when I'm supposed to be sleeping. And then I mess them up during the day when I actually need to write.

Chaos Queen wrote: "I don't trust myself to write decent male characters.
I don't think it's gonna work."

Me neither. I tried to write one and he became a typical brooding idiot with no finesse so I deleted him and made him a mindless side character who I kind of hate right now

Matthias Helvar???

[Sofia]

Can someone tell me how people climb walls?

[Sofia]

You're the resident Inej expert. I need help.

[Sarah]

Maybe you can climb by using the doors?? I used to do it as a child. I don’t know why 😳😥

[Sofia]

I mean a wall. Like, climbing up a brick wall to reach the roof.

[[deleted user]]

Use your fingers to find the grooves and shit, and dig the toes of your shoes into them.

[Sofia]

I decided to use tar. Like Celaena did in ToG.

[Sarah]

Find the bricks protruding from your house. LOLL THATS SOUNDS WRONG.

[Sofia]

I JUST WROTE A BAD WALL-CLIMBING SCENE. I can't write anything related to action/intense scenes. I can only do ~self-reflection.~ Lmao maybe I should write a deep contemporary instead of a fantasy

[Sofia]

My MC is a boring human. The other characters are shapeshifters.

[evie , Chaotic fae founder]

Mine are all magic, but I feel like my MC is a bit bland. I need to have a flashback scene or something for her.

[Sofia]

How does one incorporate flashbacks into the narrative?

A trigger. Maybe she gets carried away in a battle scene oor something, and the blood triggers her, or her brother gets injured, and it triggers her.
We'll see.

[Ayla]

Chaos Queen wrote: "Sofia wrote: "How does one incorporate flashbacks into the narrative?"

I think you just make them start thinking about it and suddenly you enter the flashback wormhole."

Like in (view spoiler)[Six of Crows. (hide spoiler)]

[Sofia]

Chaos Queen wrote: "I was gonna make the first main character good with guns and the other one isn't but imma change that because imagine them fighting back to back shooting people like damn."

I love that.

[Sofia]

Okay. I'm going to make Amarisa be good with guns because she's a badass.

[evie , Chaotic fae founder]

Elpida's a dagger and poison kinda girl.
Celia's probably guns and hand-to-hand combat.
Evangeline's an archer.
Ramos is a sinnamon roll.
With an s.

YAS WE WANT MORE BADASSNESS

[Sofia]

I'm trying to do math to make sure they don't cross an entire continent in two days.
It's not working.

[Sofia]

I'M BAD AT MAKING CHARACTERS BADASS BECAUSE I AM BAD AT ACTION SCENES.

ohmygod this is literally me

[evie , Chaotic fae founder]

Sofia wrote: "I'M BAD AT MAKING CHARACTERS BADASS BECAUSE I AM BAD AT ACTION SCENES."

SO AM I.
Just focus on the details, what the main character sees. Things like blood, and injuries, and wreckage.

DO ITTTTT.
I have a feeling that I'm gonna like the batshit crazy girl with blue hair.
