stardust-sketcher:

•I’m a magician and you’re the cute sceptical audience member that I made participate in an act that had you gobsmacked, so you hunted me down and demanded to know how I did it.

•I work at a grocery store and holy shit you’re really hot and fUCK I ACCIDENTALLY WALKED INTO THE TINCAN PYRAMID AND AM SUCH A LOSER BECAUSE YOU TURNED AROUND AND ARE TRYING SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH.

• I’m the kid of a really wealthy family and you’re hired as our gardener and are you trying to be this aggressively attractive because holy shit.

•I’m a librarian and I catch you almost every week moving your favourite fantasy series from the fiction to the non-fiction section.

•I’m an ice hockey player and came in early to the ring to practice and saw you practicing your figure skating lesson so I’ve made it a routine to come early just to see you practice.

•I’m a single parent and you work at my kids daycare and you’re really good with them and they keep telling me to invite you over to dinner.

•I was playing Pokemon in class and you linked to me and challenged me to a battle and I lost then I saw you sitting across from me and I demand a REMATCH.

•We’re strangers sitting in a doctors waiting room and ‘Friends’ came on the TV and in the theme we both clapped so hi there.

•We’re the last people in the cinema after a marvel movie because everyone else was weak and we payed to see the damned end credit scene, so who do you think’s the hottest avenger ‘cause my money’s on Captain America.

•I’m home alone and decided to listen to my favourite band on full blast and it got to the duet part and you were walking down the street and started loudly singing the other part.

•We’re in a library and you forgot to plug your headphones in so you’re music was playing loudly and I’m gonna take this moment to criticise your lack of musical taste.

•I’m in my schools gymnastics team and you’re in the opposing schools sport team who came over for a game and you’re pretty hot, then the next week I came to school to find flowers taped to my locker with a note inviting me to one of your games.

•I’m a photography student and I see you almost everyday and you’re always perfect so I always take pictures but I don’t want to be creepy so do you wanna go for coffee?

•I’m an apprentice photographer and you’re the model I’m suppose to take photos of but I’m really nervous so you keep making snarky comments to loosen the tension.

•I’m an art student and we’re doing realistic drawings in class, I was prepared for the fruit bowl and the pair of shoes but then yOU WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR, STRIPPED, SAT ON A STOOL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM AND I FELL OFF MY CHAIR BECAUSE HOLY FUCK.

Imagine person A taking person B to their first nerdy convention. Person A forgot to warn person B about all the unusual stuff that happens at cons.

the-right-writing:

1.  Don’t have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people don’t even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).
2.  Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.
3.  Give them strong relationships with other characters.
4.  Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.
5.  Kill them in the middle of their character arc.
6.  Don’t describe their funeral in detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.

That’s enough Satan’s publisher…

>B)

7. If possible, try to kill them off in the middle of the story, so we had time to like them and we will have time to let the loss settle in.

8. Also, place surviving characters in a situation where having the deceased person there would help them get out. You can choose whether you will point this fact out or if you want the audience to make the connection themselves.

9. Make them die by sacrificing themselves to save someone they love from a danger created by the antagonist.

based on a few deaths that made me blub like a baby…

10. have their loved one, broken hearted, tell the team to stop fighting because “its over.” 

11. have their pet come looking for them. 

12. have their loved one perform a popular song at their funeral so it makes the fans cry whenever it’s played.

13. family witnessing the death and/or blaming themselves.

~ Mulan

so… let’s add some frustration to your dear readers’ sadness, shall we?

14. kill the character in the middle of making a joke, smiling, or expressing/experiencing joy/happiness.

15. make the character’s death slow and painful, but make them unable to call out for help even though they can literally see the other characters nearby.

16. after killing the character, have others think the character had betrayed them so they’d always hate them and remember them as traitors and never say nice things about them… Give your readers no chance to have group-therapy with other characters by making them the only ones who know the truth.

17. right before their death, show a side of them nobody has seen. (someone who is always tough and brave being genuinely scared of dying alone; someone who is always laughing being in tears before dying, etc.)

18. make them the only person who knows a big important secret that would help other characters in the story.

19. have them being lied to before dying. (thinking they’ve been betrayed; thinking they weren’t loved; thinking they’ve lost their loved ones, etc)

20. make the character very enthusiastic/passionate about a certain goal, constantly put stress on their goal, have them die unexpectedly before they can reach their goal. 

and the best one…

21. have another beloved character kill them–better be a close friend to your character, one that absolutely nobody suspects, one that everyone can’t help but love, one who is always enthusiastic about things and encourages your character. THEN

• reveal the truth only later when it’s too late and the a-hole character has already escaped.
• have a cowardly character know the truth and never tell anyone else
• have another character find out the truth and have them die before revealing it to others. 
• have the said character ^ not actually die, but go through something so they’d forget the friend of the deceased character is actually an asshole. 

This way only your readers will know the truth, thus the frustration would be… most enjoyable for you.

Satan out.

22. Don’t kill their body.  Kill their mind.

Leave the physical shell walking and talking, but strip out everything that made that person who they were.  Make them forget all about their loved ones, themselves, their experiences and past, their skills, and have them have to start over completely from scratch.  Physical and mental disabilities bonus points.

And keep them in a place where their loved ones will be taunted every day by a living ghost.

Imagine your icon knocking on your door at 3 AM, and when you open it they shakily ask you to drive them to the hospital before collapsing.

otpprompts:

Person A and Person B of your OTP share an apartment, but have separate rooms. Person B has a nightmare one night and is really rattled by it. They get out of bed and walk down the hallway to knock on Person A’s door. The door is already open and Person B walks into the room silently. They go up to Person A’s bed to find that they’re already awake. Person B tells Person A that they had a nightmare. Person A scoots over in the bed and lets Person B curl up with them and they fall asleep like this.

and they’re constantly yelling “DO NOT EAT THE HUMAN” at each other

And when the human gets mad, they make a garlic heavy dish and smirks from the window as they all are stalking outside until they can come in

Also they just all love the human so much, like the human is their pet, when in reality the human bosses them all around. 

Fund it.

…goddamnit GUESS IM GONNA HAVE TO DRAW SOME SHIT
