The reunion hug between the bros?!

My goodness, I have so many thoughts!

✨ Spoilers ahead, be warned!✨

--------------------------------------------------

The thing about this scene is that so much was said without words. Even before the hug, we get this:

My God, I love them! There is absolute pandemonium going on around them, and Luigi literally almost died, but they're so focused on each other that everything else fades away.

Then there's these frames. Mario's expression literally makes me tear up; he looks so close to tears. The way he clutches his chest, as if willing his heart to stop pounding. Telling himself that his brother is there, right in front of him, and that he's ok.

Then there's the hug itself. The way he cups Luigi's face to look him over, make sure he's ok, and cradling the back of his head protectively, UGH! It kills me every time I see it!

Ye, scoop up the baby bro! God, I just love this frame so much! 1) it shows how strong Mario is, and 2) showcases how he just wants Luigi as close to him as possible after everything that's happened.

Lastly, this one. The expressions are everything. Mario looks somewhere between relieved and worried, and judging by how tired Luigi looks in this shot, I don't blame him. He's really been put through the wringer; both of them have. You know for sure these two spent at least ten hours after this in a little cuddle pile, sleeping wherever they ended up collapsing.

In short, 10/10 scene, definitely cried.

how not to start your story

the beginning of your story is arguably the most important part - it determines if your reader will put it down or keep reading. here are a list of overused, cheesy ways to start your story that you should definitely avoid using. 

  • onomatopoeia!!! god, this one is absolutely terrible. in school, i’ve been taught that this is a good way to “hook” your reader, which is frankly garbage advice. it’s incredibly overused and probably my least favorite way to start a story ever. if anyone ever advises me to do this, i never listen to any other advice they offer.
  • full names. like “Harry James Potter didn’t know it yet, but he was a famous wizard”. it’s very overused. it’s also especially bad if the other names are never used again, because, well, what was the point of that intro then? none. no point. 
  • extensive descriptions are not only boring in the middle of the book, they are especially bad when placed in the beginning because the reader isn’t looking for the perfect image of a rainy day, they want a hook. they already know what a rainy day, sunset, or a dingy hotel room looks like. 
  • infodumps are ocassionally acceptable in writing, but again, if placed in the beginning, they will bore your reader. give them a little action!
  • the start of a story needs to be simple, because the reader is new to this world. adding in more than about 4 characters will confuse your reader. if you confuse the reader, they’ll assume the rest of the book is like this as well, and put your book back on the shelf. 

that’s all for this post, y’all, good luck and keep working on your wips!
