Sharing Clothes
Prompts about fictional people sharing their clothes.
enveloped in their warm jacket, with a soft blush
always stealing their cap and putting it on their own head
wearing their jersey, proudly displaying their name
sharing gloves, so both of them don't freeze
wearing their worn shirt to have a better sleep
wrapping their scarf around their neck, breathing in their smell
no one knows who the piece of clothing belongs to, because they're both wearing it
drowning in the other's clothes, because they are way too big, but loving it
loving to see their partner drowning so cutely in their clothes
having the same size, so strangers couldn't tell that they are sharing clothes, but they know and feel warm thinking about it
finding their own clothes in the other person's appartment
using the other's clothes as a pillow
wrapping the other person in the hoodie or jacket they are still wearing, so both of them can stay warm
dressing the other up in their own clothes, feeling a tiny bit possessive, but both loving it

the way I have heard so many talented fanfic writers say they started writing because they read someone else's fanfics that are so good they inspired them into becoming writers too? just proved my point that your writing is never 'in vain', even if you dislike it and think it could've been better, it's still good enough for someone out there that it becomes their source of inspiration and perhaps happiness. you'll never know.
but don't ever, ever belittle your own works. just because you don't like them, doesn't mean other people dislike them too. again, you'll never know. there could be someone out there who reread your works every day because those fics you wrote helped them escape reality for a while, they could be reading your works as a way to help get them through a hard time in their life. you'll never know.
your writing may have saved someone's life.
your writing may have inspired someone into pursuing their career and changing their life for the better.
several best selling authors started as fanfic writers, and the majority of fanfic writers started writing because they were inspired by someone's fanfics. you do the math.
your "silly fics" have permanent impact on this world, even if you think they're not good (they actually are good, I promise you, don't let your mind lie to you).
I mean ***I*** personally started writing my first fanfic about 7 years ago, and have been writing ever since, because I was inspired by my favorite fanfic writers. I still remember all the lines I like from those fics I read 7-8 years ago, I still think about those fics I read from 7-8 years ago and still remember the stories very well in my heart. I started writing because of them.
this blog would never have been created at all, if it weren't because of those fanfic writers whose works I read 7-8 years ago.
I wouldn't have so far written about 130,000 words this year alone, if it weren't because of those fanfic writers whose works I read 7-8 years ago.
to all the fanfic writers out there; your works inspired someone, your writing made a difference to someone's life.

Your soul knows. It will let you know when it's time to distance yourself from people who no longer align with you mentally, emotionally, physically, or energetically.

Writing Male Fighters
Body Language
Before they start fighting, they will communicate a lot through body language, either conscious or subconscious.
Standing with legs apart, elbows out to the side, shoulders aquared, chin thrust forward and up, hcest inflated and turned full front to his opponent, piercing stare. These cures are intended to make him bigger.
He may hook his hands into his belt, framing his genitals.
Subtly stretching his neck or spine.
Stepping close up to the other, invading the other person's personal space. The one who steps back will "lose" - when this happens, we know that fists will be flying soon.
Skills
When writing a scene from a male point of view, don't make the mistake of writing a detail about basic fighting skills (like landing a fist in the opponent's jaw). For a man (on average) who probably learnt to box in his playground days - it would be better to let the moves come naturally.
For fancier skills (like weapons handling or martial arts), you may explain in fuller detail so that your readers can follow what's happening.
Weapons
Men often have a special relationship with their weapon: very personal, almost intimate. The weapon may serve as a symbol of his power, masculinity and reflect his self-image, even.
The hero may be seen cleaning, repairing, oiling his weapon, bragging about it or comparing it with others'.
Men Against Women
Most men are reluctant to hurt a woman. This instinct is often hard-wired into them, even in martial arts school that pride themselves on gender equality.
While there is no biological reason for sparing a a female fighter - only the sense of good old chivalry - you can show your villain hesitate for a second or hit less hard when a see a woman coming for him.

You did a post on heartbreak through body language with men, but what about women? Any tips/advice/ref etc on what heartbreak through body language is with women?
Yes Sure!! Here are some Tips!
Women tend to show their feelings more openly, including sadness and tears. Their body language can therefore appear more open and vulnerable.
They might adopt a more closed body posture (e.g., crossing their arms in front of their chest) and have a more downward-directed posture.
Women often show clearer signs of sadness and may smile more often, even if it is forced.
Women might avoid eye contact to hide their tears or because they feel vulnerable.
They often seek support through conversations with friends or family and might seek physical closeness (e.g., hugs).
Women might show more nonverbal signs of sadness, such as sighing, slow movements, or frequent crying.

Angst Prompts/Dialogue that hurt
(Not all of these are my quotes. I found some of them over various platforms and just wanted to make a collection for writers to use, so if anyone knows where they are from please comment them so I can credit them) 
---
“I don’t think I could love anyone the way I loved you.” 
“And they smiled, maybe not at me but, after all this time they still smiled, so I’ll smile too.” 
“We tried so hard to not be torn apart. But, at the end of it all, we both wanted something different. I wanted you and you…You didn’t want them to know.” 
“It’s not like you ever understood me anyway.” 
“They were like the two sides of a coin. Forged together but never facing the same direction.” 
“I’m tired of being broken.” 
“Where did we go wrong?” 
“You’ve never loved me, have you? It’s always been them.” 
“I love you (Character name), I always will but I just don’t think we were meant to be.” 
“Maybe in another lifetime we’ll get our happy ending.” 
“You were the reason I stayed. It’s just a shame I wasn’t yours.” 
“I wonder how it’s possible to hurt so much when there’s nothing wrong.” 
“Take care of them for me, please?” 
“I love you-” “No, you don’t. Please stop lying to yourself.” 
“Is this goodbye?” 
Want a part 2?

If you would've known that that stupid river was the fountain of youth, you never would've drank from it. That was 300 years ago. You're permanently stuck at age 26. The only one you really have left in your life is your horse, who also made the mistake of drinking from it.

Hey. Hi! It's me. I saw some posts about people who aren't writing their books and it got me curious why not. So I'm asking here, just sort of throwing it to the void - why not?
I'm sure your reasons are good. I think, if anything, some of you just might need someone to talk them out with. I can be that person. I've written 13-15 books (I've lost count), have made a living as a copywriter, got some short stories published, and am currently self publishing my first book.
Tell me why you aren't writing. I'll react with nothing but kindness - aggressive kindness, but kindness nonetheless.

Not all consequences in storytelling must be negative
A consequence is simply something that happens because of an action or event.
So long as an action or event means something within the story, then there is no reason a consequence can’t be something good for your characters. As much as it can be tempting, we don't always need to torture them.

The importance of setting:
Setting is a powerful tool in a writer's arsenal, capable of significantly influencing the mood and atmosphere of any story. The setting provides the backdrop against which the characters interact and the plot unfolds.
One of the primary ways setting impacts mood and atmosphere is through its sensory details. By vividly describing a particular place's sights, sounds, smells, and textures, writers can immerse readers in the story's world, evoking emotions and setting the tone. For example, a gloomy, fog-shrouded forest might create a sense of foreboding and tension, while a sun-drenched beach could evoke feelings of warmth and tranquility.
The relationship between characters and their environment can further enhance the atmosphere. A protagonist navigating a labyrinthine urban landscape filled with neon lights and shadowy alleyways will experience a vastly different journey compared to one exploring a vast, windswept desert.
Effective use of setting involves more than just describing physical surroundings; it requires careful consideration of how these elements contribute to the overall tone and themes of the story.
Ask yourself questions: How does the setting reflect the internal struggles of the characters? How does it influence their motivations and choices?
By weaving the setting into the narrative, writers can create immersive worlds that resonate with readers long after the story ends. Mastering the art of setting allows writers to transport readers to distant realms, where every street corner and hillside becomes a vital piece of the storytelling puzzle.

The real flex is learning to raise your emotional intelligence so toxic people can't play mind games with you, learning to pause before reacting so manipulators can't disrespect you and blame you for your negative reactions, and learning to say "no" so takers can't take from you.
