How To Write Best Friends To Lovers

just thinking about young sweet hinata shoyo moving to a foreign country all by himself, having to learn a new language, feeling lonely and having a hard time, printing takeda sensei’s “he who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom” and hanging it on the wall of his new far-from-home apartment, checking the group picture with kageyama, tsukishima, yamaguchi and yachi that he has as his lock-screen in the darkness of his quiet room, catching a glimpse of kageyama playing at the olympics while he’s still working around the city…. these moments, too, are volleyball!

Ace's Unique Magic, Joker Snatch, allows him to use another's Unique Magic. In this clip he's using it against Riddle, collaring him instead. A reversal from their first interaction! :O

Do you ever look at this?

And see this?

And doesn’t it just make you want to go like this?

Sebek, you know what to do.

No because what is this endless cycle of “I can love them but they can’t love me?”

I know I talked about their self-hatred a bit here.

I know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree but this is ridiculous??

Always seeing it as a lens of giving to others but not recieving.

Lilia -> hatches Malleus and wakes Silver but runs away from them.

Malleus -> wants to make Lilia proud and helps raise Silver but doesn’t see the happiness his birth brought and calls himself useless in front of Silver who took comfort in him enough to be vulnerable with him.

Silver -> loves Lilia and Malleus but believes he doesn’t deserve that love given his heritage.

Sebek is out here just: 🧍‍♂️ “I’m surrounded by idiots”

It’s just so frustrating?? I know there’s learned habits of love but it’s ridiculous when you have learned habits of sacrifice too.

Because if you are always thinking about love this way, aren’t you diminishing the love given to you?

In return, does that not continue this cycle? That we see? Over and over? Because you are not receiving it as was intended hence the one who gives it to you freely…feels it’s not enough. Will never be enough. So they try harder and feel this self-depreciation because of it.

When that is not true!! It is enough! Always enough!! Ahhhhhh *hugs Sebek* 😭😭😭

(There are many more moments that show this cycle between the three but I chose these moments because they are the most well known and tumblr 10 limit image on the app my beloathed.)

“Be careful. Don’t hit it again.” Chu Wanning’s voice was deep, like porcelain submerged in a creek, steady and dignified. It would have been a striking voice to listen to, if one weren’t listening to it through a shroud of hatred.” 

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

oughhh i'm so mhyk main story deprived i wish they had better pacing with the main stories but if it’s for good writing then i can deal with it...... the world building in this stupid wizard game is actually so interesting to delve into and all the characters are carefully written in a way that it forces you to learn more about them. what i like about it the most is the combination of older wizards and ""newborn"" wizards. it creates crazier and more fun dynamics

Happy Birthday , Silver! ⚔️💚

one day i will make a comparative analysis of oz-arthur father-son dynamic and lilia-silver father-son dynamic. i love it when a hundred/a thousand year old wizards unintentionally adopt a kid who has royal blood ❤️
