"I can fix him" not in a "I can make him into a better person" way but in a "if he was my character I would've handled his story better" way
the fact that chuck’s death, a suicide, was always ruled as an accident and that howard’s death, an accident, is now forever going to be ruled as a suicide
Every single odd number has an “e” in it.
I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.
I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.
Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.
Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.
You need to be brushing your teeth more than the average person to prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease.
This is because saliva production is much more active when you're awake than when you're asleep. Ever woke up with a dry mouth? That's why. Saliva protects our teeth from the acid our mouths naturally produce. Less saliva means less defense against than acid, which can break down the protective layer of tooth enamel.
So! Us chronically sleeping ppl need to be brushing our teeth more to balance out the fact that we're sleeping more.
Dancing Through Life isn’t just a fun, catchy song in the middle of act one. It’s an exploration of Fiyero’s deep seeded depression and apathy. And it shows how isolated and desperate for companionship he really is.
During Fiyeros introductory song Dancing Through Life we get introduced to his character. He’s a playboy, rule breaker, and above all else, superficial. Now Fiyero REALLY wants us to know how superficial he is and he also REALLY wants his fellow students at Shiz to be as superficial as he is, but he never explains why.
Well if you read in-between the lines, it’s a shockingly depressing reason. He wants people to be superficial and empty because it the only way he can relate to and befriend them.
He’s been conditioned his whole life to only be surface levelled and shallow, so much so that when it comes to real, authentic social relationships he has genuinely nothing to offer
He has no interests, no ambitions, and no opinions. So much so that until Elphaba snaps him out of it, he really has no other quality’s other than beings empty. Like genuinely none.
So instead of admitting that he is uninteresting and socially inept, he tires to get everyone around him to be as shallow as he is. If EVERYONE is empty and hollow, then that means he doesn’t have to grow or change. He can stay comfortable and brainless.
