my situation has become pretty desperate – i am finally moving out of my abusive home!! while i am much better than i was last year, i need to go through with this in the next two weeks, i am very mentally ill, and i have about $6 to my name.
i have no money for rent, bills, medication, or food. i’ve been unable for work for a few months and have been scraping by with what i can
i desperately need to go back to regularly seeing a psychologist, and i currently owe them money as is
i’m a full time australian uni student and seeking help from centrelink (and you probably know what that’s like) but it’s still processing and i just don’t have the time to wait, and i may be rejected.
my younger sibling will remain here, and i want to be able to help them in any way when i am not there – they are young and very vulnerable, and i am terrified of leaving them. they need psychiatric support to manage the environment without me
i will be working again very soon and i’m looking for a second job, but i am still trying to manage my own mental illnesses
i just need help with the next few weeks – if anyone can help me, i would be extremely grateful. i need to get out of this environment as soon as possible, and the wonderful people i’m moving in with need someone paying rent in two weeks’ time.
Harrison Ford goes out into his backyard. He looks up at the stars and finds the brightest one. He shakes his head as he speaks. “You just had to tell them we slept together, didn’t you?” Carrie Fisher emerges in the sky like Mufasa and looks down on Harrison Ford before flipping him off.
From the basics to the very in-depth, these are some of the resources I go to when I’m developing new characters. Have a look at my favorites, and add your own!
Readers are engaged by characters who do not always act in a predictable way. Think of how to have your character make decisions or respond in ways the reader won’t see coming.
Most of us don’t start writing until we’ve come up with a character we just adore. But how can we make sure this character will also be adored by our readers?
I can’t speak for any other writers or artists, or the show’s intention, none but my own– but lapis and peridot, I wanted to create the experience of a growing queer relationship. Again- this is only my intention. Can’t speak for anyone else! Many people are writing those episodes. But. I don’t want to have people have to sit down and put together puzzle pieces to see if they were represented. Not in this day and age. That game is so tiring. As for amethyst and peridot, again, this is only my writing intention, I wanted the feeling of a “first time crush” that you go on to then be close intimate friends. Anyone who wants to see the narrative they want is completely, 100% allowed to.
But I wanted to close the book on this- I am queer, and intend fully to write queer characters when I do.
Lauren Zuke, I love you, and I’m super excited to be able to keep watching the episodes you have worked on.
