Relatives tend to share mannerisms and if you want a nice little detail for your stories, I recommend including that.

A father and son share the same restless or anxious movement like chewing on the inside of their lip or tapping their fingers. A mother and daughter both raise their eyebrows when they’re in deep thought. Two siblings both tilt their heads when something is intriguing. A younger brother copies his older brother’s posture. A grandchild copies the way their grandfather crosses his arms behind his back when he walks. A father throws his hat down when his sports team loses and his child grows up to do the same.

Adding niche similarities between my characters and their families is one of my favourite things to develop and one of my favourite ways to connect them despite whatever relationship and differences they may have.

They could hate their family and yet they tap their foot side to side when they’re standing in one spot like their father does, and they scrunch their nose when they close their eyes like their mother did. This can be used to portray your character’s struggle with their family, and amplify their fear over ending up like their family. It’s a subtle addition and yet it adds more depth to their turmoil.

Or on the flip side, it can help show how much your character admires their family by emulating them. It can help show how important their bond with their family is to them by showing those shared, unconscious similarities.

Shared mannerisms are a small detail but they will be noticed by somebody and appreciated.

i actually think that sirius was the favourite child and regulus spent a lot of time being asked why he couldn’t be more like him

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

that's the feeling for me too, so glad someone explained perfectly.. though some modern AUs are so creative and funny that you can't help but adore

I'm not sure if you're interested in creating modern AU works for the War of the Roses, but I think it will be very interesting！！！

Hello!

I've seen many examples of this kind on the internet over time, indeed, but I've never been attracted to this perspective.

The reason is simple: for me, it is about documenting and understanding a period that fascinates me. It's like a puzzle whose pieces you have to match to see the big picture. The Middle Ages is like that kind of world that you dream about for hours, wondering how things really were back then - it probably lacked the dose of fantasy that we people of today attribute to it, haha. Let's say that for me it is rather an escape from the current reality. I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of my contemporaneity by drawing the same contemporaneity, but this time with historical characters.

I say this, but this does not mean that I will never be interested in this kind of approach, but only that I am not currently attracted to it.

Thank you!

writing as therapy. writing as healing. writing as discovery. writing as self-love. writing as making sense of the dark. writing as rebirth. 

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

that's why I love her.

if you're on instagram get off that thing and go outside

if you're on tumblr hold fast and keep scrolling soldier
