Big brother Raph and some family angst because of course.
Emmet forgot to give himself his daily "I'm normal" speech in the mirror when he was getting ready. OG image below.
Also bonus small twins
Two of them
🌻 I asked people on twitter for rottmnt headcanons so I'll be posting those here too!
For this one, someone hc that the brothers have kept every single one of mikey's old drawings from when they were tots, which I thought was adorable ðŸ˜
I also added my own spin and thought that Leo would be embarrassed if Mikey ever caught him keeping all of his drawings <3
That one conversation on the roof
If I sleep a little longer, will you stay with me?
every character’s first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person
even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that’s still one sentence more than you had yesterday
exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them
if your characters have to kiss to show they’re in love, then they’re not in love
make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favorite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you
if you’re stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in a different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholders
don’t compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts
i promise you the story you want to tell can fit into 100k words or less
sometimes the book isn’t working because it’s not ready to be written or you’re not ready to write it yet; let it marinate for a bit so the idea can develop as you become a better writer
a story written in chronological order takes a lot more discipline and is usually easier to understand than a story written with flashbacks
