this fic im writing is so dumb and i love it for that. this is like archetypal kas self-indulgent writing. the characters sparring as a form of flirting. the shut up / make me exchange. the fact that it ended up being a get together fic even after explicitly telling myself i was not going to write that. use of the phrase “[character] kisses like they fight: [character specific metaphor/description]”, which i’m sure i picked up from another writer but is now a staple and appears in every other wip i write because i like the line that much. you could find 500 fics exactly like this with 0.5 seconds of searching and you know what. thats because i have taste and i know what i like

#i also like the kisses like they fight line because i think it's fun to have to describe both a fighting style and also a kiss in one line #i like doing stuff like that in my writing its just fun for me #same reason i like. oh damn i forget what its called the literary device where half of a metaphor is literal #and the other half is figurative. stuff like 'the blanket and the confession weighed heavily on his shoulders'#that one's not very good but you know what i mean right?#look i know i overuse metaphors im working on it. not today though today is about me. oops! all metaphors!#good idea generator #fic writing tag tba #also im being vague on purpose bc its then easier to make good on my personal promise to not post this #i try not to say anything specific abt fics i dont intend to post #on the off chance someone is like 'oh that sounds interesting'. like i cant show u this but i promise its generic as hell
