Stuff You’ve Had to Research for a Story

Okay, i got some more of this:

—What happens if a bank burns down?
—Complex PTSD
—How to make Dominican empanadas
—Fae folklore
—types of burns
—reasons for a house to catch on fire
—how to gaslight people

I can't remember most of the things I search up, but here's some:

—name generator
—how to make soap
—the titles of stories to see whether or not they're original

Oh wait I found the history button. Okay, here's some actual word for word searches:

—can you record someone without consent in _______ state
—what was I going to look up (I never did remember)
—how to pronounce _________
—how to pronounce (insert my real name here (it was because my teachers were giving us forms for how to pronounce our names correctly, and I wasn't sure how to write how you pronounce it. Google got it wrong though. It's not an uh sound, it's an eh.))

And that's everything on this computer. (I haven't had it very long. It's a school computer)

I always have to look up name generators -- sometimes I try baby name websites, but most of the time I'm trying to match characters with names that I could not come up with myself.

I also will do random searches of climates: i.e., typical weather, typical temperature on random cities -- I try not to copy any one or the other, but more so establish what area/region I want the story to be in.

Besides that, I have so many searches on "how to __" such as how many steps it takes to become a foster parent, various food recipes, and of course, where can someone be stabbed without dying quickly. Maybe. Or maybe that's a future search. 0-0

Okay I'm bringing this back

-revenge fantasies, in relation to ptsd
-what time do they go to bed in connecticut
-pretty trees that grow in connecticuit
-how to calm a racing mind at night (for both me and the story)
-unhealthy coping mechanisms for trauma
-healthy coping mechanisms for trauma
-episode summaries because I haven't watched this show since it ended and I forgot what happened and when

I'm writing an owl house fic, my boy Hunter is going through it 😭
