what I wouldn't give to have the gastric constitution of a nine-year-old again. like you know when you're in grade school and you're like okay I'm gonna have some gushers and pizza and one of those dubious chalky grocery store cookies and then go run around with my friends! and now as an adult if I eat the wrong brand of peanut butter I have to lie down for an hour

seeing people in the notes who are like "it's a good thing I can still eat whatever I want 😇" and they're like, 19... I was you once. and in a couple years you might start to suspect that your favorite fast food joint is giving you mild food poisoning every time you eat there. they're not. it's the milkshakes. go buy some lactase pills.

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

  • one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
  • the crow rhyme
  • colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
  • write with the ending in mind
  • use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
  • keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
  • WEATHER.
  • do some research into Chekhov's gun
  • mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
  • KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
  • unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
  • flowers and names with meanings
  • anything with meanings actually
  • metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
  • anyways add anything else in the tags
elumish

I'd also add:

  • something that your character thinks can't apply to them
  • information mentioned when they're talking about something else
  • doing something for thing x that then becomes relevant in situation y
  • a character avoiding avoid a topic
  • having characters who look alike but not drawing attention to it (e.g., two characters introduced five chapters apart who have red hair in a world where red hair is unusual)

"you only deserve food and shelter if you contribute to society" says people living in countries where nobody's labor actually feeds or benefits their neighbors anymore but exclusively benefits the companies keeping the food and shelter behind the artificial paywalls

You're not nomads relying on each other to hunt and gather anymore, you're talking about stocking shelves for fucking wal marts

And even the oldest societies on earth all took care of the elderly or sick anyway
