Words To Use Instead Of ‘said’

Words to use instead of ‘said’

**Using the word ‘said’ is absolutely not a bad choice, and in fact, you will want to use it for at least 40% of all your dialogue tags. Using other words can be great, especially for description and showing emotion, but used in excess can take away or distract from the story.

I so badly wanna do a blue exorcist RP but my normal partners don't like it

However I'm scared I won't be able to really hold up expectations since I don't do like five paragraphs of RP. I don't do one liners though and I always do my best to reply.

I just really REALLY wanna do one that's close to the lore it would be so much fun!!

Rp struggles

As a writer and someone who does RP, I hate it when I have a character that I love so much but I can't use her because she's a girl and my RP partner prefers male characters...

In this new RP I have three characters, two girls and one guy. It is very obvious he favors my male character. I have so much lore for the two girl characters and yes even for the male character, I don't discriminate while crafting my characters. My main thing is I put the character first, I don't care about the gender. However he sees my male characters and automatically is drawn to them first because they have d!cks. He's literally admitted that.

I just don't know what to do. I don't want to only make male characters but in order for them to have written screen time I feel like they have to be male. I am so proud of how I write my characters and I love writing my female characters, but he prefers my male characters. Honestly this male character so far has been so BORING for me to write because of this factor. I know the only reason he's liked is because he's a male character. I'm tired.

I guess I just don't understand why someone would prefer a character because of what's in their pants, probably because I'm asexual. I like a character based on their character, but he always likes a character first up because the character is a man.

I don't know what to do, I really don't and I feel like I've said that enough. I've tried to bring this up to him but he just brushes off my feelings, I don't know why. I try to always listen to him and honestly I wasn't even going to make a male character but I forced him in there because I know what he prefers. My first two designs for the RP were the two female characters, but then I got extremely anxious that he wouldn't want to RP if I didn't add a male character, so I forced myself to. Now he's overshining my other two characters, even though I'm convinced if one of my female characters was a male he'd be all over her. But no because she's a girl she gets side lined.

When Nanami Comes Home With A Thick Stack Of Papers And A Deep Frown On His Face That Ages Him Terribly

when nanami comes home with a thick stack of papers and a deep frown on his face that ages him terribly — you know he is not gonna sleep well tonight.

he greets you with a kiss to your forehead and a gentle caress on your cheek as he smiles down at you softly, and when you inquire about the papers in his hold his expression turns sour again. kento clicks his tongue before he starts ranting about his day, letting you slip his coat from his shoulders and loosen his tie as you hum attentively and coo at him.

and when he settles by the table in the living room after a quick refreshing shower, with a gentle ‘no, thank you, angel’ to your dinner offer that he excuses with wanting to be done with the paperwork as soon as possible, you don’t push him.

after a quick kiss to his cheek, you scurry away to the kitchen and put on the kettle to make him some tea and something he could munch on while working.

nanami, too engrossed in his work, doesn’t really hear you walking in with a plate on one hand and a big mug held in the other. when the aroma of his favourite tea hits his nostrils, he only lifts his head up, curiously eyeing the appetising sandwiches and the steam flowing from the mug, and notices the unsure look in your eyes as you wait for his reaction.

“for me?” kento mutters, brow raising questioningly, and when you bobble your head eagerly, his face relaxes into an easy smile. lifting himself up from the chair, the blond cups your chin to press a short kiss against your lips, chuckling at the way you preen under his affection. “always so good to me. thank you, my darling.”

watching him enjoy the food you make is one of your favourite things in the whole world; the way he neatly bites into the softness of the bread and a second later nods his head approvingly, eyes quickly catching yours in a tilted gaze. you giggle, hand covering your face as you subtly feel the flustered heat of it, and get back to reading your book.

dottore gets you sick on purpose just so he can nurse you back to health. it’s never a simple cold or migraine either- no, dottore needs to have you at his full mercy. a fever that leaves you bedridden, for example. he once almost killed you on accident after giving you a severe case of the flu. dottore downplayed the severity of it as to not completely fall out of your graces and appear totally incompetent- but he greatly reduced his antics after that incident.

some x reader things aren't for you and that's okay

Lucifer is just so in love and obsessed with you. not in a scary way or anything- but in a very soft way, just melting completely whenever the simplest, everyday things remind him of his little lamb you.

it can be anything, really, maybe he sees your favorite pastry in a bakery or something in a shop window he thinks you’d like or maybe he simply passes somebody in the street that has the same hair color as you.

and before he can stop himself, Lucifer is reaching into his pocket for his phone to call you a soft little smile on his face. even if he can only hear your voice for a few seconds it’ll make his day so much better <3

Hello There!

Hello there!

I'm just a writer that's trying her best! This is a place of fun and hobby crafting. I'll try and post x reader stuff and maybe even text fics!

Fandoms I plan on posting for are Jujutsu Kaisen and Blue Exorcist! However later on I might add more, maybe My Hero Academia, Genshin, and Zenless Zone Zero stuff soon. Mostly just stuff I have fun with is all.

I might also make ship content of different fandoms that I didn't list here (SORA X TAZUKI FROM HOW TO KEEP A MUMMY, MY BELOVEDS) other than that I'm a bit unsure.

Sometimes I will post dark content as my favorite trope is literally yandere stuff. I also mainly post for female reader and will tag accordingly. If you dislike my content please move on with your day, it will make you happier in the long run.

I do not have a DNI, I block accordingly.

Hello There!
