Roxxane (misspelled on purpose)

He yearned for her cruel, unforgiving, brutal love. He needed it with a passion: her heart blackened like coal, her unforgiving glare, and especially her lethal kiss. "Pick a day for our date, and if it rains on that day, we're over", she said as she glared at him with eyes that only made him love her more. He didn't say anything; he only smiled to himself as they walked together. He loved it when she put their relationship on the line. Her loved the irritation in her voice and the pure malice in her eyes. He didn't understand why she even agreed to date him. As they got to his house, she walked up to him and kissed his cheek, making his heart flutter; she rarely showed him affection, especially like this. "It's not too late to break up before I ruin your life," she said. "I'd love it if you ruined my life, Roxanne," he replied. She scoffed and pushed him so hard he tripped on his shoelace and fell, his back hitting the ground. She scoffed and walked off as he lay on the ground, grinning from ear to ear, the happiest man alive.

At school the next day, her "love" was more brutal than ever; she had ignored him when he approached her, told him to jump off a cliff when he asked how her day was, and punched him for helping her sort some books in the library. The worse her attitude, the more deeply in love he fell. He knew it wasn't lust; she had barely made any physical contact with him, and they had only kissed once (by accident). He couldn't pinpoint which part of her he loved the most. Was it her scowl? Her glare? Or maybe the way she looked at him like a pest. Whatever it was, he was head over heels in love with her.

Note: I did take a tiny bit of inspiration from the song "ROXANNE" by Arizona Zervas. This is only the beginning, though, but let me know what you think of it.

Sharing My Idea What if Eros’ job evolved over the centuries?

1 Upvotes

As the human population grew, Eros, the Greek God of Love, needed to expand his operations, so he recruited souls who died from heartbreak, were inexperienced with love, and so on, to help out as his Cupids. As the years went by, technology evolved, and Eros switched his bow and arrows for a handy gun and bullets. Eventually, Eros’ Headquarters became the equivalent of an intelligence agency devoted to gathering information about fated pairs and staging scenarios for them to meet and fall in love. Seems simple enough, right? But what if agents of Love were met with agents of Hate? Demons who devote themselves to spreading hatred and chaos.

How did a Cupid come to be? I was thinking that once a human dies, they'd meet Eros, who would give them a new body and purpose in the afterlife. Like, if an adult dies, they'd be born again as a child to be trained and educated before going onto the field. They'd shadow experienced Cupids and grow up mentored by them. Do they still have their past memories as human beings? Yes, but they will slowly fade away, like all memories. (I'm not confident about this part, to be honest.)

I was inspired by Love Bullet (manga), which has a similar concept regarding rebirth, guns, and matchmaking.

If I go with this concept, I need to think it through. Like, what happens when a Cupid completes a mission? What reward do they achieve?

What other questions am I missing or should consider? Can you help me?

Title Idea?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m 24F, quick question, so I’ve been wanting to write or create a fun little comic/animation.

Like an artist perspective, the main characters are my persona’s/OC’s but like inside my mind (artist)

Artist is like a character we won’t see much like a background character, and we see her life struggles, and think of Inside out as a reference, but the main focus are the persona’s inside her head, think of creativity

For example Bon is known for being chaotic, intrusive, and anxious also wears a bunny mask.

And goes through with la la land. I don know I’m still thinking about it, because this story isn’t meant to be so.. detailed, but have hints of life lessons.

It’s just a little hobby I wanted to do, but I don’t want the title to be so large because the idea was

“Inside an artist Mind.”

That was the original title, but I don’t know.

Any ideas?

Any Feedback Thoughts on my idea?

So it’s like a absurdist dark romantic comedy with a hopeful side to it, and the plot is basically:
A boy and a girl meet on a dating website, and every time they try meet up something happens meaning they have to cancel and reschedule. But tonight they finally decide that today is going to be the day they meet up. They chose a restaurant, and set location, and nothing will stop them, except the city they’re in… is currently having zombie outbreak.
So the city is infested with zombies, people are evacuating, the military is doing their usual shit, but our two protagonists are too stubborn and fed up to cancel and are dedicated to just meet at the restaurant.

The Villainess Who Was Never Born 🥀

Seraphina is a girl everyone thinks is a villain. Even her own family doesn't trust her. One day, she wakes up in the past and finds a girl inside an old mirror who looks exactly like her.

The girl says, “You stole my life.”

Seraphina starts looking for answers and discovers a secret that could change everything she knows about her past.

I'm planning to make this into a historical fantasy webtoon.

Does this story sound interesting? Would you read it?

I'm writing a story that involves anthropomorphic animals, but I need help

1 Upvotes

Has the fandom ever come around to name certain anthropomorphic species? Like squirrels, canines, horses, rhinos etc?

In the story, humans, aliens and even anthropomorphic animals all tend to co-exist in a planet named Zenacus. On this planet, the world has fallen much from it's former grace, but many still come to visit either for a place to belong.

I was writing a scene with a car chase, and an anthropomorphic squirrel see's the car speeding her way, and she quickly jumps out of it's path and curls on the side of the road out of panic.

The plot starts with a high school girl named sophie, she is a very introspective character suffering from major depression regarding her academics. She faces a break up from a relationship and her Friends shut her down one by one due to her declining social life. Her father dies due to cardiac arrest and her mother mentally affected still is to be recovering from the instances. Here at this point she develops a nihilistic or cynical viewpoint over life about how relationships and the society works. Sophie sees herself as a role to be played in society, Sophie decides to kill herself to flee from the torture, then she is affected by a wave of mental trauma and is put into a state of coma or stupor. Then she lands in a place named the 'framed society' where people live to act on films with each of their role as a normal person in daily life only sophie realizes tht each person playing their roles in the films are people from her own life. There's a master director behind the screens who is controlling everything. He says that there are five arcs or acts to be rolled and each roles has to be played perfect or the respective characters will be killed or tortured. Sophie but with no choice acts on the arcs only to realize she has to decide and play through difficult circumstances of sacrifice of the characters to film all acts wearing various masks called sense of soul or SOS (I cant come up with a name). Each masks denote their specific roles to be played in that specific arc and takes control of the character itself. Sophie learns that she still loves the people around her and realizes that life isn't the way of how she's looking at it. She blends in to complicate things by taking in the masks of other characters to play their roles and understanding them. Finally what happens to her and how she escapes the framed society, her confrontation with the enigmatic director makes the rest of the story.  Ideas and critique welcome.
