ableists don't even make eye contact with this video.

Briana Boston faces terrorism charges and CEOs are getting free therapy

Briana Boston is a 42 year old mother of three from Florida who is under house arrest for expressing her frustration at her insurance (which she PAYS for) who denied her claim. She owns ZERO guns and doesn't have a criminal record.

She was originally held in prison for $100,000 bail. They have not dropped the charges and she is under house arrest even after widespread backlash.

They are trying to charge her with terrorism. They want her to spend 15 years in prison.

They are calling her a Luigi Mangione copycat. As if she killed someone. She made a indirect, not at all credible threat.

Meanwhile...

I want every woman who has ever faced threats online, stalking, etc to bring this Briana Boston up at every opportunity. Every time you were told by police that there was nothing they could do, know that they not only CAN do something, but they WILL do something, just not for you.

Mel Medarda was NOT the User in their Relationship. Jayce Was [CC]

Character A is a bit of a party animal, but has decided to tone it down for this celebration because it’s in character B’s honor/important for B in some way and they are determined to not mess this up for them.

The antagonist spikes A’s drink, and A knows something is wrong and can’t think of a plan further than “Find B, they will know what to do.” However, their motor skills are seriously impaired, so they end up taking out a major decoration/food table/something noticeable. B is mortified, and grabs A’s arm and takes them to the side.

“You told me you wouldn’t do this, I can’t believe you!” B hisses. A tries to explain, but their speech is so slurred that they can’t get it out.

“God, look at you! You know how important this is for me. I do so much for you, and you can’t even be chill for one night.”

The antagonist come up, and offers to take A outside for some air, and A is desperately trying to tell B to not trust the antagonist but they just /can’t/.

B thanks the antagonist and doesn’t even suspect anything is wrong until they can’t get ahold of A the next evening.

How To Write Saucy Betrayals

First consider the type of betrayal you want. Will it be minor to the story or absolutely earth shattering? Will you be leaving little breadcrumbs/hints for the reader to piece together, or will it come out of no where and blindside both the reader and characters? Be careful though because the latter can feel unrealistic or make the reader feel cheated.

Here are some tips on how to write betrayals in your story:

1) Set up the betrayal in a way that isn’t obvious. Leave tiny clues, use foreshadowing, drop hints in the background. Body language and dialogue can be great places to add subtle hints. 

2) Make your readers invested in your characters. If the reader doesn’t care about the protagonist or even the betrayer, they won’t feel anything when the big deception happens.

3) The betrayer needs a motivation. Why are they betraying your protagonist?

4) It has to have an effect your protagonist. Usually the betrayer is someone close to the protagonist, so when they are deceived, it hurts like crap.

5) Do some research on the craft of lying. It can be hard for a character to keep up a mask for the entire story. Google some real-life betrayals in history, or in famous literature/movies. Study how the betrayals are hinted at and effectively revealed.

6) Play around with POV. A fun way to build tension is to have certain characters know things that others do not. Or perhaps your readers know about the betrayal-to-be before the characters do. This could put them on the edge of their seats waiting for your characters to figure it out before it’s too late.

7) Betrayal isn’t black and white. I don’t think betrayal is as simple as good and bad… it can get muddy. For example, what if the betrayer is being blackmailed? Mind controlled? Manipulated? Here are a few betrayal pathways to consider:

Evil from the start to the end, was never truly a friend.

Manipulated into betraying their friends

Wants to be on the “winning side”

Is offered gold or safety of their family for the betrayal

Blackmailed or threatened into the betrayal

They’re lesser or a “loser” in the beginning and can obtain power through this betrayal

Conflicted and stuck in between— this betrayer doesn’t know which side to pick and is constantly being tormented between the choice

The betrayer feels cheated/overlooked by the protagonist and choses to switch sides.

They’re betraying the protagonist to secretly protect them

They have no choice— literally. Mind control or magically forced

They think they’re genuinely doing the right thing

A remorseful betrayer who realizes his mistake but it’s too late, he is too far gone or the damage has already been done.
