Moo Principle #538 - In order to defeat suspected vote tampering, I'm making a last minute plea to all voters to change their vote, or vote for, @Prince_Azmiran_Myrian as the boobiest of the scribblers.
What do you think about a children's fairy tale with dark fantasy undertones as an interlude chapter?

For example, a mother tells her little daughter a bedtime story about a wolf, a rabbit, and a princess rose. This story sounds sweet to her daugher.

But, as a reader, you might interpret this story not as a fairy tale but as a dark reality that the mother or other characters in the story might have experienced.
I forgot to turn off the stove while mom was gone. She is now cursing at my whole bloodline.
14 out of 17 respondents (currently) agree that character emotions need to be narrated through showing, rather than telling by mentioning raw emotions (sad, anxiety, etc).

Authors can narrate emotions organically (by showing) through body language, psychological reactions (tears, nausea, etc), action, dialogue, and atmosphere in a scene.

The goal is to make the reader experience the emotion with the character.
Time heals all wounds. If you're stilll hurt you haven't waited long enough.

There is a serialized comic
that had a very poignant ending (for its current arc) that kinda marked me.

The girl is crying.
Because she lost a mentor. Someone she liked as much like her mom. (bc orphan and sole of her kin)

They say that time will heal the pain/wounds.
In tears, sitting while hugging her knees, she reply : It does. It always does......

In insight, it both show how unlucky/sad the (mercenary) FMC that she always have something sad happen to her (classic trope)
but

also, that Time truly work wonders for it, that SHE KNOWS it does,
but most importantly, doesnt truly want the pain/sadness to go away. (in the sense it feels like the feelings for the person disappear too=wish to be forever sad)
They say time heals all wounds, but that's wrong. Time only heals some wounds. Other wounds get bigger as time goes by, and even more are created by the passage of time.
