I have … a tip.

If you’re writing something that involves an aspect of life that you have not experienced, you obviously have to do research on it. You have to find other examples of it in order to accurately incorporate it into your story realistically.

But don’t just look at professional write ups. Don’t stop at wikepedia or webMD. Look up first person accounts.

I wrote a fic once where a character has frequent seizures. Naturally, I was all over the wikipedia page for seizures, the related pages, other medical websites, etc.

But I also looked at Yahoo asks where people where asking more obscure questions, sometimes asked by people who were experiencing seizures, sometimes answered by people who have had seizures.

I looked to YouTube. Found a few individual videos of people detailing how their seizures usually played out. So found a few channels that were mostly dedicated to displaying the daily habits of someone who was epileptic.

I looked at blogs and articles written by people who have had seizures regularly for as long as they can remember. But I also read the frantic posts from people who were newly diagnosed or had only had one and were worried about another.

When I wrote that fic, I got a comment from someone saying that I had touched upon aspects of movement disorders that they had never seen portrayed in media and that they had found representation in my art that they just never had before. And I think it’s because of the details. The little things.

The wiki page for seizures tells you the technicalities of it all, the terminology. It tells you what can cause them and what the symptoms are. It tells you how to deal with them, how to prevent them.

But it doesn’t tell you how some people with seizures are wary of holding sharp objects or hot liquids. It doesn’t tell you how epileptics feel when they’ve just found out that they’re prone to fits. It doesn’t tell you how their friends and family react to the news.

This applies to any and all writing. And any and all subjects. Disabilities. Sexualities. Ethnicities. Cultures. Professions. Hobbies. Traumas. If you haven’t experienced something first hand, talk to people that have. Listen to people that have. Don’t stop at the scholarly sources. They don’t always have all that you need.

i learned that Binghamton University researchers have been working on a self-healing concrete that uses a specific type of fungi as a healing agent. When the fungus is mixed with concrete, it lies dormant until cracks appear, when spores germinate, grow and precipitate calcium carbonate to heal the cracks (x)

I love the Chain for so many reasons (players, plot, community, characters…) but one thing I really love and I think is just awesome about it is Matt’s original reason for wanting to stream it, which was just “I want you to see the DM things I’m telling you to do in action.”

And it’s really working. Watching the Chain always energizes me and watching Matt DM is just such a good model. Every session I’ve DMed since the stream began (3, or maybe 4?) I’ve felt more and more comfortable in my abilities. Matt is just very candid with the players and the audience and I think that’s a good style for a lot of newish DMs

Supervillains announcing their plans is actually a union thing so they can’t be sued for damages someone else may commit at the same time

“character design is my passion”

*proceeds to never draw original characters*

anyway, I kinda disliked my designs for some of the m9 and this seemed like a good exercise to work on facial variation.

Helltrooper Breeze

“I go where the wind takes me. And for now, she keeps me with you.”

Breeze is a CG half elf druid of the land (forest probably). She joined up with the Chain of Acheron when they were contracted in Farrow. She was grateful for their change of heart in attacking her people and joined after learning of their travels from some of the rank and file members. Breeze is guided by her wanderlust more than anything, as well as her need to explore and learn. She feels as though she has much to learn about life, so joining the Chain was a way of learning about how the world works outside of the small community she grew up in.

She actually planned to leave the Chain in Blackbottom, she had already said her goodbyes for the most part before they arrived there, but promised to stay for one more drink before she went on her way. And then Ajax happened and it all went to shit. I imagine she ran to find the Chain as soon as she saw the floating city, and would have helped in the evacuation of Blackbottom in any way she could. She’s also probably joining some other Chain soldiers on the journey to Capital.

I’m an absolute sucker for found family tropes and Breeze is absolutely the type to be ride or die for people who care about her. I imagine that people gave her the nickname Breeze once they saw how little she actually plans and just *does things*, as though going along with wherever the breeze takes her. No one really believes she’ll actually stay with the Chain for that long, but she’s here for now and she’s loyal enough. She’s young and easily excitable, and while she has little life experience, she’s fairly insightful and knows people. Also probably knows more things about berries than how cities work (we love a feral druid in this house okay). She’s a bit of a hoarder too, but of like, leaves, flowers and pinecones. Keeps all she can in a little notebook she has.

Tl:dr she’s an air sign for sure, would have a aesthetic blog if she could, tumblr witch vibes, has eaten leaves to make people think she’s feral so they leave her alone and would 1000% die for the Chain of Acheron because this is her family damn it! She belongs, for once in her life, in this rag tag mercenary company, and she’s not about to let that go anymore. Even if she has to fist fight Ajax, she will do it to protect her family.
