tweet from serhawke (me): TODAY I LEARNED THAT SONG OF ACHILLES STANS HAVE BEEN GOING VIRAL QUOTING A FANFIC THAT //I WROTE// IN *2015* AND SAYING IT'S FROM THE ORIGINAL TEXT WHEN I TELL YOU I JUST SCREAMED THIS IS SO FUNNYALT

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY

screenshot of Ao3: “Truly? You thought I wouldn’t recognise you?” Achilles murmured, incredulous. Patroclus inclined his head, “I’ve changed, and the masks…” “Patroclus,” Achilles tilted his face up with a gentle finger under his chin. “I would recognise you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognise you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.” Love you, Patroclus mouthed, bewildered. Then he closed the scarce distance between them to kiss Achilles as he’d always longed to do, hands firmly planted on his chest.ALT
goodreads screenshot: Kaliyah asked what page number is the quote"I could recognize him by touch alone"on? Olivia R. The quote is on page 134. "What had Deidameia thought would happen, I wondered, when she had her women dance for me? Had she really thought I would not know him? I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world."ALT

so I think I’ve mentioned before that I share my shop space with a used bookstore. well, sometimes customers have a hard time finding us, even though we have very large windows with bookshelves clearly visible through them. my co-owner apparently decided that he needed larger and more visible signage.

unfortunately, he did not use enough tape.

and now I have no one to make discworld jokes at, which is very frustrating.

A flowchart about when to use epithets (descriptive phrases instead of names) in writing. The gist of the the first part of the chart is, "If you're referring to the viewpoint character in their third-person POV, always use their name or pronoun instead of an epithet." The gist of the second part of the chart is, "If your viewpoint character doesn't know the new character's name, it's fine to use an epithet but they can get clunky so consider having your character give them a nickname." The gist of the third part of the chart is, "If you're going to use a descriptive epithet like 'the alpha,' 'the brunette,' or 'the taller man,' use it once or twice when the character is first introduced and switch to name/pronouns or a nickname ASAP."ALT

So I was thinking about epithets yesterday and how when they’re used well they really add to the work and when they’re used poorly it feels like the author has thrown a cinderblock in front of you while you’re moving at a brisk walk, and then I got floostered (flu vaxx and covid booster) and managed to edit this ugly but hopefully helpful flowchart together through my flooster fever.

The question I always come back to is, “How would I, as the viewpoint character, think about this other character?” I think about my wife by her name or her relationship to me. I don’t think of her as “the blue-haired woman,” or “the taller woman.”

This obviously doesn’t cover every single permutation of epithet use out there in the would, but if I can help one person avoid writing, “Scarlett walked into the kitchen, hungry and annoyed about it. The redheaded woman found she had no snacks and grumbled,” it’ll be worth it.

(This is not a callout post for anyone in particular. It’s just intended as general writing advice, because I had to figure out a lot of this shit for myself when I first started telling stories!)
