Writing Ideas - Blog Posts
I want a story where every main character thinks and acts like they’re in entirely different genres like, one thinks it’s a romance, another thinks it’s psychological horror, with the main plot being the character who thinks it’s a mystery trying to figure out why everyone is completely insane, they aren’t the straight man they are just as insane as the others, the only sane one is the character who thinks (and is correct) about it being a comedy because they think they’re the straight man.
Do you see the vision?
Wish
Wish
It truly was a wish come true. But you should always be careful what you wish for.
"Do you have any last wishes?" "Now you truly sound like a villain, after telling me their big plan to take over the world."
"If you had three wishes - anything possible - what would you wish for?"
"You have to make a wish!"
"I wish you would have talked to me."
Last wishes should almost always be granted.
"I wish for you to be quiet. For one second."
"Just wishful thinking, I'd say."
"Your wish is my command."
"I wish we could just go back to how things were."
"My first wish would always be to get infinite wishes. Duh."
"Don't tell me about your wish or it won't come true!"
"It's my last wish." "It's just a scratch. You're not dying, stop being dramatic."
How to make a wish:
throw a coin in a fountain
watch out for shooting stars
blow out birthday candles
wait for November 11th at 11:11
blow away an eyelash
Pining!
Pining
Mutual pining
One-sided pining
staring dreamily in their direction
believing they're the only one pining after the other
believing no one will notice
not being subtle at all
both being pining idiots who don't get it
actual heart-eyes
blushing
swiftly looking away
They had to intervene. As their friends it was their duty to play wingman.
If pining would become a sport, they would make the perfect Olympian.
They always thought how embarrassing it was to have a crush. But it's not that embarrassing when they finally figure out, they are not the only one.
For the 1 hour, 1 word prompts game: Don’t
Thanks! I love your prompts work btw - they’ve helped me so much in getting started with writing. Thank you so much for sharing them with us all ♥️♥️
So happy you enjoy them and that they inspire you! 🥰
Don't
"Don't say that."
"Don't even think about it."
"Don't play with me."
"Don't listen to them."
"Don't worry about it."
"Don't do this alone."
"Don't act like you don't know."
"Don't you listen to anything I tell you?"
"Don't stop doing what you love."
"Don't joke about this."
"Don't you love me?"
"Don't fall for it."
"Don't ever stop smiling like this."
"Don't laugh at me."
"Don't... please!"
"Don't lie to me."
"Don't even bother."
"Don't you hear me?"
"Don't... just don't."
"Don't ever change."
"Don't you see that we love you?"
marmaidophobic
Do you mean being anti-mermaids? I found the term:
Serenephobia
Mermaids were propagating rapidly and it became a real problem for the local fishermen.
There were some hurtful stereotypes regarding mermaids and they would really like you to come to them, so they can tell you more about it.
Media was really lying to you, when they sold you stories about beautiful humanoid creatures with amazing hair.
Their impossibly sharp teeth weren't even the most horrifying thing about them.
Catching a mermaid in a net was a really bad omen.
There was nothing scarier than being trapped on a boat surrounded by hungry sirens.
Lou: The Doll Killer AU
Ok so. During my time of getting started on my Uglydoll rewrite and strolling around the internet, I stumble upon this wiki page:
This wiki page is a made-up 2008 version of Uglydolls with the same premise, but changed the characters around a bit. The reason I bring this up, because it does something interest with Lou.
Instead of him being a prototype, he was a regular pretty doll that had a kid, but that kid replace him with an Uglydoll. This causes him to get jealous and have a burning hatred towards the Uglydolls. He then changed the factory's system, and founded the Institution of Perfection. Any Uglydoll that found its way into his institution, Lou would separate them by shredding them, which causes him to have this post-traumatic stress disorder due to how brutal it was.
Lou would be the doll killer of this version of Uglydolls, and at the end he would try to kill both the Uglies and Pretties with a Chain Kinger, only to be shredded by his own machine. A very dark, but interesting way of handling Lou's character as a whole. Him being pure evil, thirsty to get revenge on the Uglydolls, all because they made him lose his kid, and can to go to the big world.
I been thinking about after I'm done with my rewrite. I might do an AU of this version, since I could turn it into a murder mystery story or something. Idk. Just something I wanted to share since I didn’t see anyone talk about this wiki page.
A book/movie about an aroace person who pulls every human being they come by and is extremely attractive and would be an amazing partner, but is completely uninterested and just wants to have a tight nit group if friends to hang out with, and at the end they finally get they're wish by all the people who had a crush on them lose feelings and instead they all become a very close friend group that are genuinely platonically inlove with eachother.
A movie that starts out as one of those cheesy, badly written hallmark movie, like the exact usual type of movie, down to every detail, even the trailers are the exact same as the usual hallmark ones, but, for some reason, the movie is rated R and is edited in a strange way, until eventually(close to the end, specifically after the typical "city girl" main character has broken it off with her lawyer boyfriend/fiance that they always have for some reason, making it too late for her to escape) it's revealed(only revealed to the watcher, MC remains unaware) that the whole small, cozy, typical hallmark town is actually a extremely murderous and dangerous cult, and the movie ends with the usual engagement scene that most hallmark movies end, except a split second before the end credits, there's a scene of the main guy/love interest biting into an already dead MC before the words "a happy end" pop up on screen written in blood and then the credits roll with the typical hallmark music before slowly distorting and then just cutting to blood-curdiling screams of the MC.
A romantic comedy between a mob boss and a cop, where the two are married and constantly have to make it seem like they just barely failed to get the other, one day the cop accidentally actually hits the mob boss, they mutter a quick "Oh god, I'll never hear the end of this." The whole squad around them congratulates them for finally hitting them, as to them it's a small step towards catching them, but the MC is simply filled with dread for when they get home, once they finally get back they ask(trying to lighten the mood but failing miserably) their parter(the mob boss) how their day was, only to get a very angry voice yelling from their shared bedroom: "How was my day!? You f***king shot me! That's how my f***king day was!" The whole rest of the movie is just more stupid antics and cute domestic scenes between the two before ending with a scene in the future with their child visiting they're graves, cleaning them and replacing the flowers, the tombstones of the two graves(which are right next to each other) having both they're names and some sort of sarcastic and or joking statement, plus they're final words(obviously) before rolling credits with the song "Da ya think I'm sexy" by Rob Stewart.
An R rated movie about a typical alternative loser/dorky girl in love with the most popular guy in school, (we get a bunch of scenes that show that both of them are complex characters while also still fitting into their assigned roles throughout the movie) around a quarter through the movie we are introduced to the stereotypical blonde bully girl (basically the Regina George of the story) and we get a few typical scenes of her being the typical "cruel," popular girl, bully stereotype (bullying the MC as well as other "losers" at the school) we also get plenty of wholesome, cute development between the MC and love interest before the movie suddenly switches to the mean, bully girl's perspective, revealing that she's actually obsessively inlove with the MC and has been stalking her intensely, and is complete and totally obsessed, with a scene of her creepily staring into the MC's window as she sleeps, the movie eventually escalates to the mean girl attempting to murder the love interest after he gets in a argument with the MC, leaving her crying on a park bench, in which she almost succeeds before getting hit over the head with a metal trash can lid by the MC, who then disarms her and points/aims the weapon at the mean girl, who becomes extremely jealous over the love interest (who is currently injured and hiding behind the MC) and starts fighting with the MC, leading to a scene where the MC is sitting on top of the mean girls waist, with the weapon aimed/pointed and her face and or her heart, the mean girl brakes down and completely professes her love to the MC leading to her sitting in shock and horror as she connects all the pieces before the mean girl flips her over and takes back the weapon, leaving them in the same position but switched, it's then revealed that the MC used to have a crush on the mean girl before she had one on the love interest, she also starts crying as she confesses to the mean girl, the mean girl goes in for a kiss, letting down her guard which leads to the MC disarming her once again and shooting/stabbing her in the stomach, the dying mean girl asks "why?" To which the MC explains that she could never forgive the mean girl and that maybe she could have loved her in another life, in a different time, the mean girls responds by coughing up blood and smiling as the light leaves her eyes before saying "I would have loved to just do laundry and bake with you in another life." A single tear falling from her eye, the MC nods, starting to cry, helping the love interest up and taking him to a hospital, the move ends with the MC putting a bouquet of roses on the mean girls grave, the credits roll with the song "kiss me" by Sixpence None The Richer, the very last seconds of the movie are just a scene of the mean girl and the MC sitting next to eachother on a dock in the summer, watching the sunset by a lake, with the words "in another life.." written in a romantic pink color with hearts as both the movie and song end.
Story idea!
A book/movie with an extremely sarcastic, loser character who is just absolutely cursed, like the very definition of a jinx, for absolutely no reason, like they're a good person, they do good things just for the sake of doing good things, yet for some reason, they are just absolutely cursed with the worst luck in everything, and it's a romantic comedy between them and the most sunshine, perfect, happy-go-lucky character ever, who has the most amazing luck and is just the exact opposite if the MC in every way, shape and form, with a kiss in a rainstorm at the end (bonus points if they both rub off on eachother throughout the movie)
Okay so I have an idea for a writing if anyone is interested in writing it please just tag me when you do I’d love to read it.
So this is a Sirius Black x Evans! Reader or Remus Lupin x Evans! Reader. The reader is Lily’s little sister (by a year) and is a hufflepuff. She grew up being a trio with Lily and Severus and although Severus was in love with Lily, the reader had a crush on Severus for quite a while. Lily knew about her crush but always just comforted her knowing about her unrequited feelings.
Around the time of Lily and Snapes falling out (a few days before it) school had just started back for the readers 4th year. The reader spent most of her summer working extra to buy Severus some new clothes so he didn’t have to always wear the same ripped up clothes or his cloak. It took her all summer to get enough money and she confided in Lily telling her how excited she was to give him this gift.
She pulls Severus aside from the group of young death eaters he had started to associate with one day at lunch time to give him the clothes she had picked out and got for him. He coldly tells her no thanks I don’t want them. She insists kindly and tells him she worked all summer to be able to afford them, which she didn’t mind but really wanted him to accept the gift. He eventually snaps at her quite loudly and tells her something along the lines of “can’t you see I don’t want your stupid present. How desperate and pathetic can you be” to which the reader nods, quietly apologizes places the clothes on the ground in front of them tells him quietly while all are staring “I’m sorry, throw them away if you don’t want them” then walks off super quickly to cry somewhere quiet.
Sirius or Remus, who had had a major crush on her since 2nd year is the one to comfort her and make her smile and laugh. They become good friends as well as Remus or Sirius as she starts to heal after deciding not to be friends with Severus anymore, especially after Lily went to stand up for her a day or 2 later and that lead to their falling out as well where he screamed that she was a mudblood. Suprisingly enough, Sirius gets off his playboy stuff (or Remus starts to become more confident in himself) and a love blossoms between the reader and him where he treats her like there is no other girl in the world. She’s finally happy, she has a relationship like no other, good friendships where Lily and her are closer than ever and Remus or Sirius is her other bestfriend.
Around this time, Severus realizes not only did he mess up with Lily, but he feels really bad for the way he treated the reader because he sees how happy she is with Sirius or Remus but also any time James or Sirius go to bully him, she still tells them to stop and gives them just a certain look. Because of her, Sirius and James barely ever bully’s him anymore.
I’d say this paragraph ^ would be best in snapes pov but all the others from the readers. Would love some good fluff from moments of Sirius or Remus and reader falling in love. I’m a sucker for angst and fluff combined. Hopefully someone will be intrigued enough to write this 🫶🏻

Platonic love is so great. I'm obsessed with that shit.
Okay okay okay long post but,
I need to say this cause it's nearly midnight and this idea is keeping me awake! Please tell me if you like the sound of the idea or if you think it's a bit of a stretch lol
So I started thinking about this today and cannot stop but y'know those Danny Phantom AU where Danny has a space obsession but everyone assumes it's actually a protection obsession?? I had an idea where, what if they're not assuming and Danny's pretending to have a protection obsession because he doesn't want his rouges to feel guilty about keeping him from his obsession?
Here me out! What if Danny feels like pretending to have a protection obsession is necessary to keeping his rouges happy and content while fulfilling their obsessions? He wants them to be happy because it means they'll be more satisfied and will come around less (he hopes). His rouges are more than happy to attack because they feel like they're helping Danny fulfill HIS obsession!
Eventually Danny starts to think of it like he's performing for those around him, like he's the star of the show he didn't realize he was in- He finds himself watching plays and operas and broadway shows and he enjoys them?? Which he didn't expect! Soon he becomes a bit obsessed with putting on the perfect performance for others, but obviously that has side effects on his mental health.
Maybe we can bring in some Ghost King Phantom? Like he becomes the Ghost King once he's graduated university or something and to his surprise, Frostbite tells him that he has a new Performance Obsession and of course this can give an opportunity for angsty spirals... Also if I'm being completely honest, the design and personality I have in my head for him is reminiscent of Furina from Genshin Impact, which I'm pretty sure was an accident, especially because I finished the newest quest yesterday... But whatever... I'll worry about it later.
If enough people like the idea I'll probably put a story and designs together, might even throw some dpxdc into the ring who knows, I sure don't! Anyway, my first time actually putting thought into an AU idea and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Let me know what you think!
anime idea:
5 women , 1 guy
all besties, righ?
they go everywhere together
until (dramatic noise): they get accepted into different colleges
later, they all get isekaid in various ways.
the first one to get isekai’d wakes up as a hydra
but she only has one head. She’s a baby hydra
as the plot progresses, and she levels up/ grows/ gets character development, she gains more heads.
each head is another member of the group
(If we’re going with the ‘character development’ option, it gets progressively harder, and each time a new head joins, they have to watch as the others and themselves change as people, adding some angst in)
((Both positive and negative character developments would apply in my mind))
(pls Feel free to add
hey so, I'm currently writing a book (a bookseries that'll probably become a cartoon idk don't ask me) and I really really really really need title ideas
the first book is about this two teenagers living in a small and extremally religious town and they end up finding this super old book about witches executions and all (the town used to have a problem with witches back in 1800) and they decide go try and find one of them
they find her and blah blah blah and the boy (he's extremely sick and would die in like a few years) decides he wants her help and ends up becoming a human size puppet
and also Life and Death and Magic are basically the true "gods" of this world (only the witches know this btw) and Life watches humans lives like it's a TV show
pls I really need title ideas I'm begging (also I may post some stuff about it here idk) ((prolly not))
I don't know if this is the correct blog or another one of yours for this question. My question is: How do I come up with fantasy animals and plants? Like in video games for example? I can never get creative when it comes to these two things

Hera, Queen of the Gods, Goddess of Marriage, Goddess of Women, and Thief of Godly Children
Hera decides that if she cannot birth any demigod children, she will simply take them. After the Lighting Thief and seeing that so many demigod children are unclaimed, she decides that if she cannot have them herself then she shall claim them. None will challenge the Queen of Gods' claim after all. She decides to just claim all of the unclaimed children. A child stays unclaimed for more than a day? They're Hera's children now. Oh, an obviously Apollo kid shows up? Hera's now.

IMAGINE!!
seeing the aftermath of lloyd becoming the conduit has me wondering what would happen if the conduit connection between him and the source dragons was suddenly severed
consider the sheer amount of power that was being shoved and channelled through lloyd brought on an onslaught of nightmares, visions, exhaustion, as well as a new long-term weight of responsibility
consider that same amount of power being ripped out of his body
i picture everything goes quiet, still, and empty in his body now that it’s not being used to channel the power of the fabric of the universe.
it makes him sick and aching. his body essentially goes through withdrawal, not being able to understand why the source dragons have left him like this
he can’t hear them anymore
