List Of Sexy Things To Say

List Of Sexy Things To Say

I am way too witty for my own good so here are 10 powerful things for you or your characters to say with a religious twist!

"If you are God then I want to commit blasphemy:

"I would love to be covered in your sins"

"I hope God is seeing this"

"I'm sure you taste as divine as you look"

"If you knew just what I was thinking, then you wouldn't be saying all those pure things about me"

"I would do anything for my God"

"All the things I think about doing to you would make me see the man in red"

"May God rue the day we are seperated"

"I wonder how "pure" either of us will be after this"

"Nothing could be a sin if it was done for you"

You might think these are cringe but remember, "one man's cringe is another man's fantasy". If a dialogue is your struggle here is a little bit of personal service

Illogical Ranting About Writing

I have an irrational hatred of randomness in stories. By that, I don't mean I hate coincidences or "fate" or anything like that. NO!

I hate when I can physically feel the hand of the author push this event to happen or force these two characters to get together.

For example, you know how many times in an angst-based story the love interest of the angsty character will "just so happen" to walk past the character when they're describing their trauma in-detail.

It makes me scream everytime since it feels so artificial. Like the plot is just dragging these people along for the ride instead of the characters acting on their own terms. It would be so easy to have the angsty character choose to confide in this love interest.

Another example is when a character is just casually walking along and "just so happens" to hear a super-secret goverment conspiracy plot! Again, why couldn't you have this character have a super cool and interesting backstory which makes them suspicious of the government so the character is always trying to spy on political officials?

Why couldn't you have a character be naturally paranoid of others so they always try to spy on others?

I hate coincidences in stories that single-handedly move the plot along. You could have done so many far more interesting things!

And it's not like this is real-world "OMG, coincidence!" type of shit because YOU ARE THE AUTHOR! There is no such thing as "just so happen". You literally wrote those words, agonized over the diction of the scene, and had a stroke over these plot points!

It just feels like lazy writing. Similar to love at first sight and other types of things

The Key To Writing Good Angst

"I looked in the mirror on my way to school. I looked so ugly. My flowing blonde locks which wrapped around my face always made my feel insecure about my porcelain skin. I guess I just need to suffer with my dull and dry appearance...."

I'll point out the problems with this cliche bit of angst line-by-line to give a full illustration on what seperates interesting internal conflict from boring superficiality!

"I looked so ugly"

Vague. When writing insecure characters and characters that are angsting about something/someone, the trick to isolate the exact pain. What makes a character agonize over this specific event or person above all else? What has caused this turmoil? For CHARACTER A, their insecurity comes from "looking ugly"

But what does that mean really? What about their appearance makes them think that they're ugly? Is it their skin? Their hair? Facial structure? WHAT IS IT? Not only does giving details fill up the pages more, it can add more relatability to your character while also giving the reader a deeper insight into the character's thoughts.

"My flowing blonde locks which wrapped around my face always made my feel insecure about my porcelain skin."

2. Description. When describing a character's insecurity, getting inside their head is the most important! You, as the author, can use diction(word choice) and imagery to demonstrate to the non-seeing audience what exactly the main character sees!

For CHARACTER A, describing their hair as "flowing" immediately gives the hair a beautifully etheral appearance which is further highlighted by the use of "porcelain" and "locks".

In this case you could say that the "The dry and permanently matted nest, which was always proliferated with dead ends, managed to highlight another sore spot for them. Their skin looked eternally lifeless like a corpse buried in the desert. When it combined with their deep-setted eyes contoured by utter darkness from many sleepless nights, they really did look dreadful"

See! Now the reader knows and most likely understands the insecurity CHARACTER A has while not feeling superficial!

THE LAST WORD OF ADVICE: SHOW, DON'T TELL!

It may sound tedious but it's true. If you want your readers to properly internalize how angsty your character is you need to show the negative effects of this internal conflict!

EXTERNAL CONFLICT SHOULD BE A MIRROR FOR INTERNAL CONFLICT

Why I Hate "Out Of Character"

My soul is burning with the desire to complain about shit so this time we're going to be doing a huge big category for:

Why You Shouldn't Write "Out Of Character"

Here is my philosophy for why I hate when fanfictioners and writers alike write characters out of character

Lack Of Attachment

When I am searching for fanfiction about a character whether or not it's ship-based, adventure, canon compliant, or even canon incompliant, I am searching for that character. Unfortuantely, I am not interested in your original characters because it's basically the equivalent of having a huge party with all your favorite people and then a stranger arrives.

I don't want to hang out with that stranger. It's awkward. So when a favorite character of mine starts acting like a stranger then ~they're just somebody that I used to know~

2. Stereotypical

Oftentimes, when an author consciously makes the choice to change a character it's often made to remove the complexity from a character in order to fit a certain mold. This can be done for a multiple of reasons and with various outcomes:

In Part 1, I talked about woobification and how authors, in an attempt to write their villain characters and angsty bois and gois as sympathetic, often get rid and ignore their horrible flaws and turn them into permanently crying messes I can't stand.

In Part 2, I talked about how male characters are often feminized or masculinized when they are written in a mlm fiction. These characters are either the Sissy archetype or Toxic Masculinity.

This stereotypical lends, at best, oversimplifies a character's complexities in order for them to fit into the narrow constraints of a trope and, at worst, homogenize an entire community of people with an undercurrent of bigotry.

FINAL REASON: Author's Hand

When reading/writing a story the best place for the author to be is in the background making the magic happen while the characters are on stage acting out their lives. The problem with the "Out Of Character" stuff is the fact that it feels like a character has been placed inside a glass box where they must act out their lives. Confined to tropes.

I'm totally fine with people having different character interpretations and character arcs. Those aren't my issue. It's only when these bland stereotypical paperdoll-like stories are the only thing I can read that I start getting snappy.
