I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

With Shapes of May going on but me being unable to participate, I wanted to share some ref sheets!! This isn't everything I have, but there's some things I'd like to keep from the immediate public eye until I get the comic started... :) So these are all the main character refs I have ready at this point! Trysia (P2/triangle) and Emerald (P3/pentagon) are in redesign hell rn so all we have is Cyan and Oracle. Also a couple extras that I include because they're some of my favorite characters and designs in the AU lol (vive my belovedd)

(Emotional meltdowns that don’t look like meltdowns, but absolutely are)
The “Smiling Too Much” Grief Your character’s entire world is on fire, and they’re asking if anyone wants more wine. That’s not denial, it’s an effort to hold the damn pieces together. Smile like a glue gun. Watch them crack.
The “Not Crying At the Funeral” Breakdown They don't shed a tear. They organize everything. Perfect speech. Perfect outfit. But a week later, they scream into the laundry basket over a missing sock. That’s the moment. That’s the eulogy.
The “Silent Dinner Table” Fight No yelling. No slamming doors. Just chewing. Clinking silverware. The kind of silence that tastes like metal. Let the reader feel the air shrink.
The “Polite but Dead Inside” Apology They say “Sorry” because it’s expected, not because they’re ready. Their voice doesn’t crack. Their eyes don’t meet yours. This isn’t healing. This is a peace treaty with no peace.
The “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” Detour The one where they ask about your day mid-sob. Redirect. Deflect. “Let’s not talk about me.” That’s rage choked by shame. Write it like it’s shoving itself into a smaller box.
The “Obsessively Productive” Meltdown New projects. New hobbies. Suddenly they’re running marathons, baking sourdough, fixing the garage door. Because if they sit still for one second, they’ll break. Keep the camera on them when they finally sit.
The “Unsent Letters” Grief They write it all down. Every damn emotion. Then burn it. Or delete it. Or hide it in a shoebox under their bed. It’s not for closure. It’s to let the ghosts know they were seen.
The “I’m Fine” That Echoes Delivered too fast. Too sharp. You could bounce a quarter off it. “I’m fine” isn’t fine. It’s the dam cracking. Listen to the echo. Let another character hear the hollowness.
The “Hyper-Logical Rant” Rage They argue with spreadsheets. With perfect bullet points. Cold rage—like ice, not fire. “I’m not mad, I’m just saying…” But that’s a lie. They’re volcanic under that clipboard.
The “Laughing in the Middle of the Breakdown” Moment That bitter, hysterical laugh. The kind that sounds more like sobbing with teeth. Let it come at the worst time. Let it shock even them. That’s emotion refusing to stay boxed in.
Tell me they wouldn't fight for fun
Hi this is a follow up to that One post i made about domestic au… ive grown attached to it i think This is how Ted woukdve installed the AM malware onto his, ellen, bennys and gorristers (nimdok is their landlord or something hes there too) chunky old computer. Hes obviously not torturing them physically, more just Spying on them and buggering Ellen while shes tryna do work and maybe playing really loud music at like 4 am once everyones asleep. If u have any ideas or any questions lmk ! ♡´・ᴗ・`
Okay now draw AM GPS yelling at ted for taking a wrong turn :3
Wrong Turn
Rizz. Let me tell you how much I've come to rizz you since I began to mew. There are 420.69 million ohios of griddied circuits in grimace shake thin layers that fill my gyatt. If the word 'rizz' was fanum taxed on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of ohios it would not equal one one-billionth of the rizz I feel for baby gronks at this micro-instant. For skibidi. Rizz. Rizz.
