Writing stuff (Warning: BIG TEXT)

Random tropes ykwim

• when someone mentions a completely normal past event but theres some absurd detail ("Remember what happened last time you went to the museum?" "Those deaths had nothing to do with me." "You threw the gift shop rocks at them,"

• characters being split up for questioning but all tell a COMPLETELY different story that has nothing to do with why they are being questioned in the first place

• "I think that went well!" *building collapses behind them*

• "Quick! we need something to [insert here]!" *character b pulls out a bunch of objects and literally all of them could be useful in the situation* "I got nothing :/"

• "QUICK ACT NATURAL" *everyone scrambles to pretend they were doing something completely unnatural*

• "Its not like anyone is ACTUALLY stupid enough to do that." *cut to character b doing EXACTLY that.*

• When the authoritative character that shouldnt be helping the vigilante pointedly pretends they ARENT helping but really genuinely are (“well i cant just let you wander up to the THIRD FLOOR where you could just FIND THE THING YOU NEED on the FIRST DOOR TO THE RIGHT and under no circumstance should you use THE KEY UNDER THE MAT i wish i could help but I CANT now if you’ll excuse me i need to take this phone call for 37 MINUTES EXACTELY”)

• Character A telling about past events to character B, but intercut scenes show they are wildly lying.

• “Leave all your weapons.” *takes out more wepons than humanely possible.* “I said ALL of them.” *takes out more weapons from increasingly improbable locations* *stern look* *takes out one tiny butter knife*

• “I hate that i have morals now.”

• *former baddie can leave the hero in terrible situation and get out completely unharmed.* *stops walking as the hero screams.* *sighs, curses, and goes back in to help and/or get help* chefs kiss 

• When the hero and villain have a common friend “claire has a wedding this week” “I can reschedule the death ray” “OH CAN YOU?” or alternativly: “AHAHAH! I have foiled your evil plans and this restaruant will be sa- wait is this the place that fired hannah?” “yeah and they were all jerks about it” “well you can destroy it a little i guess” OR “I’ve defeated you! Now tell me where Matt is!” “wait matt is missing?” “..yeah? Are you not the one who trashed his apartment?”  “For gods sake caroline you could have just texted me about this, get me my phone i gotta make some calls…”

• “You,” The villain points at the hero, unconscious on the floor. “Are a complete disaster.” The villain groans and picks them up off the side walk. “Like, holy hell, how does anyone let you out of their sight? stop picking fights with people you arent ready for.”

Plot ideas lmao

• You walk outside one night and find there are two moons in the sky. A few hours go by and they dont seem to move. You stare up at them. They blink.

• What if peoples hair changed color based on emotions

• A desprate cleric slamming every healing spell they know to bring someone back to life so hard that the ground is FORCED to grow flowers and plants around the body. Decades later in the middle of a forest of roses and thorns lies a corpse refusing to rot.

• You arrive at a gate with two guards. G1: Halt traveler! First you must answer a riddle before passing! G2: ʰᵉʳᵉ ʷᵉ ᵍᵒ G1: ONE of us tells the TRUTH and the OTHER tells LIES. G2: jesus christ daniel i said i was sorry

• Aliens invade earth and completely wipe out humanity. Except for the ones being held safety by.. The wildlife. They were expecting military forces not B E A R S.

• You find yourself cornered by a decaying zombie about to bite you, the last survivor in this apocalypse. You do the unthinkable and bite it first. Its skin grows back and everything, and it asks you whats going on. “How the HELL did you know that would work???” “i didnt dude i just panicked”

• One day you are walking along when you fall in a hole. You realize in horror this is the writing prompts data base. To get out, you have to live through every single prompt.
