Xue Meng breaking down in anger and calling Mo Ran bastard, a piece of shit, sob and finally getting exhausted with anger and letting his grief take control and then calling out for his brother because he didn't want to be alone in his grief anymore. ðŸ˜
Pacing Through Sentence Length in Writing
You ever notice how a scene can feel like it’s dragging or speeding up based solely on the length of the sentences? Sentence length isn't just a technical detail—it’s a pacing tool. When used right, it can control the speed and tension of your story. Here’s how:
Short Sentences = Speed, Tension, Impact
Short, snappy sentences are like quick breaths, instantly pulling the reader’s attention. They mimic fast action, nervous energy, or urgent thoughts. They create momentum. Think of action scenes or emotional moments—often, less is more.
Example: The door slammed shut. His heart raced. She was gone.
In just three sentences, you feel the urgency, the chaos, and the emotional weight of the moment. It’s all about breaking up the narrative with these quick hits to keep the reader on edge.
Long Sentences = Build-up, Reflection, Depth
On the flip side, long sentences slow things down, adding complexity, reflection, or tension. They’re great for moments of introspection, world-building, or setting a scene in rich detail. These sentences create a flow, pulling the reader into the character’s headspace or the atmosphere of the moment.
Example: The wind howled through the narrow alley, carrying the distant sounds of a city that never seemed to sleep, never seemed to rest, and in that eternal hum, he wondered, not for the first time, if he would ever find peace here or if, like everyone else who tried to escape the shadows, he would simply become another part of the city’s endless noise.
Here, the length of the sentence mimics the complexity of the thoughts—heavy, reflective, almost hypnotic. It builds tension not with action but with an overwhelming feeling of being stuck or trapped in thought.
Combining Both = Dynamic Flow
The real magic happens when you mix short and long sentences. This creates a rhythm—suddenly, a break in the flow, a quick shock, and then back to a longer, more drawn-out moment. It reflects real life: quick bursts of action or emotion followed by moments of pause or thought.
Example: He reached for the door. It was locked. His heart pounded, each beat a reminder of how badly he needed this. There were no other options. There was no way out. The key could be anywhere. And he could not afford to wait any longer.
Long sentences = build tension, create depth, set mood. Short sentences = ramp up urgency, show action, make an impact. Mastering this flow is a game-changer for pacing!
I dare you to say I'm wrong.
Recent main story updates have inspired me to make this evil freshmen relationships chart to visualize how I imagine their stuff lmao
Adeuce to Aceyuu one is inspired by the contents of the book 7 dreams
For the Malleus Silver one it's less of how it actually is and more both sharing the same thought about the other
Ortho didn't fit anymore + there was lowkey no point in putting him because it would only be "friends" for mostly everyone here and that's not evil enough
today i found out i lost all my gendice drawings so in compensation i drew this new one
The Avengers 2012 era was the best time ever in the fandom
Thor loves pop tarts, Clint lived in the vents, Bruce and Tony did science together, Steve was the mom friend of the team and did art in his free time, Natasha was cool aunt of the team, Loki was there too and a bunch of other characters like Peter, Sam, Bucky, Vision and Wanda all lived in the Avengers tower together
It was a much simpler time where everyone in the fandom was chill and having fun together
Sharing a glass of wine
Fixing their hair
Touching foreheads
Eating from the same plates
Painting their nails
Dancing to their favorite song
Sitting in the room while they bathe
Putting your feet in their lap
Resting your head against their back
Sitting on the counter while they cook
Fixing their clothes
Being comfortable in their home
Doing their hair
Their cat/dog/pet liking you
Giving them a massage
Warming up their hands
Taking their make up off
Sharing a pillow
Tracing tattoos
Knowing the sound of their footsteps
"If you remember, I'll praise you more!" "Oh, really? Why are you going to compliment me... 'Sir Knight'?"
In a rush, Japan wins their Olympic match, and Hinata's too blurred with exhaustion and high on victory to stop himself. He kisses Kageyama.
