Dispatch really said

- you will always be stronger as a team than you will alone

- people grow and become better when they are given external support and community, and tend to struggle when they don't have those things

- there is no such thing as a good or bad person, a hero or a villain

- your actions are what make you who you are, not anything else

- connection and understanding always start with meeting people where they are at and empathizing with them

- doing the right thing always comes at a cost. That's why it's so hard to do

- reckless and selfish actions impact those around you, not just yourself

- being a "hero" isn't about one big gesture, one big fight against evil, one flashy showdown. It's helping others even when they are rude. Even when they are thoughtless. Even if they don't care about you. Especially - ESPECIALLY, if it is inconvenient

- doing the right thing doesn't have to be fucking boring

Anonymous asked:

Ong ‘fragility in perfection’ was so good and definitely needs a part 2. I can already feel Johnny becoming irrationally jealous of her with other men, only wants her to work with him on the daily and falling in love

Thank you, Anon! I’m cooking up a bunch of ideas for Part 2, and we will definitely be getting a bit of jealous Johnny 😅.

Fragility in Perfection

Pairing: Johnny Storm x Assistant!Reader

Summary: Your job is everything to you. It takes up every part of your life, leaving no room for anyone but the Fantastic Four. They were your friends, treated you like family. Your relationship with Johnny, however, is definitely more than “just friends”.

100 Dialogue Tags You Can Use Instead of “Said”

For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words). 

1. Neutral Tags 

Straightforward and unobtrusive dialogue tags: 

Added, Replied, Stated, Remarked, Responded, Observed, Acknowledged, Commented, Noted, Voiced, Expressed, Shared, Answered, Mentioned, Declared.

3. Emotive Tags 

Emotional dialogue tags:

Exclaimed, Shouted, Sobbed, Whispered, Cried, Hissed, Gasped, Laughed, Screamed, Stammered, Wailed, Murmured, Snarled, Choked, Barked.

4. Descriptive Tags

10. Surprise Tags

Shock-inducing dialogue tags:

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

fanfic writer starter pack

  1. unhinged google searches that cause your fbi agent to have a meltdown
  2. a folder on your laptop with too many wips to count that you swear you will work on soon
  3. 75% of the writing sessions consist of daydreaming about your blorbos while not writing a single word down
  4. only finding typos after posting the chapter… but there never are any mistakes when you proofread it
  5. suddenly forgetting how normal human beings speak… why does the dialogue always sound like a rat and an octopus trying to communicate?
  6. (totally healthy) obsession with THE character
  7. 2 mortal enemies: the ao3 summary box and tags
  8. sleep deprivation is maxed out
  9. daily nighttime meditation that involves staring at the ceiling while thinking of new ways to forever haunt THE character
  10. saying something like “i’m just going to write a silly little one shot” and then proceeding to drop the most soul-wrecking, heart-wrenching, so-beautiful-and-painful-it-should-get-published fanfic of all time
