User:Cheeseskates/Blog:Some writing tips for interpretative thinking.

This blog is dedicated to Is Asriel the best? to give some tips based on This thread so if you are not them, I suggest understanding the situation by reading all of the thread 1st to get the examples. otherwise, welcome to writing tips.

to asriel.

Don't feel terrible. you helped me spawn this 'cohesive' thought, so I'll give you credit for that.

I would like to show you a theory discussion blog that shows the layout it is meant to be done and give some tips on how to improve future posts, if you want of course. I hope I don't upset you with this.

Credits to Mabian for teaching me this. You are a legend.

Always make sure to start with the facts that are absolutely known.
What I did in my post is put down the evidence and explain about them before I start my assumptions and theory. I just did it for this message ;) . Not only does it give people a fresh start with an informed mind, but it is also organized into one spot if one wants to go back and recheck, and it also presents the most basic but crucial evidence that will be the start, middle and end of your theory. Having facts mixed with the theory is not only unorganised and IS ramble, but it also gives a feeling of inconsistency and adds confusion, which people do not want.

No matter the post, ALWAYS post evidence if there is any. If not, make sure it sounds like an assumption.
There are many claims in this post without citation. for example, "She tries and tries and tries to live the sensation that Asriel’s so ecstatic about, yet she just can’t." So 1st of all, where is the evidence? It is obviously in my post, but it shouldn't've been in the OP of course. It helps strengthen the claim, obviously. (You can take what I presented and add it to your post by the way. You can give me credit for it if you want.)

Another example, "Chara is fascinated by Asriel when she firsts meets him, as many of us are. The idea and concept of love is astounding to her." How so? If it is not stated in the game subtlely, it is pretty much an assumption, in which statement I will get to below for my next tip.

Always attack all sides.
When you attack on all sides, you take in and interpret many different approaches instead of one, and one can either be more simple, more complicated, more accurate, etc. It can be supportive or Opposing as well. All it is, is approaches to different forms of evidence. i'll give an example for your assumption stated above.

"Chara is fascinated by Asriel when she firsts meets him, as many of us are. The idea and concept of love is astounding to her."

Argument
Fascinated? How so? There is no evidence on this. The time in the VHS' could be considered present tense for both asriel and chara which is after chara was taken in, and that is long after chara first meets asriel. There is not much to present there, but the pictures of chara during asriels recollection in his fight would mean something more than mere fascination, and looks more as "this person took me in. might as well stay until i can get out."

Counter argument
These pictures could boost the statement that chara had a rough time in their life, as stated, and seeing an act of kindness from asriel can make some intrigue, or just ecstatic relief, especially since in the pictures, they were obviously hurt by the fall, and most people would not care about that. If one looks at how chara is presented in them, this rests my case.

Two different directions, 2 different possibilities, in which one or the other might be true.
Lastly, never be dogmatic (assume based on one's personal beliefs.).

There is none here (the sociopathy vs psychopathy is debatable since no psychological neurology is 100% accurate.), and so, it is merely a tip for the sake of it. Stay true to the game, or anything else, as much as possible. Never branch out unless you absolutely have to, and never assume based on ones own beliefs. It is not only close-minded, but it disobeys the last heading, making the theories and assumptions broader and might cause debates in the discussion.

Welp, that's it. Hope that helped. Knock EM DEAD DARLING!!!
