funny story around #16, meet this girl online in the Castle fandom like 7 or 8 years ago who ended up being from the same country as me, but a bit off a distance from each other. It's a very very small country so we were the part of the very very few people in this fandom from our country (like two other people? Maybe, and they weren't active anyways), we talked a lot, made a big friend group online that talks to this day. Then a few years after that, we ended up applying for the same high school, both got it and ended up in the same class, graduated together two years ago and remain best friends to this day. Funny how the small world works. We probably would never have talked in school if we didn't know this.

put your number (0-20) in the tags!!!!!! i think i got 14!!

anyone who comments that finding ways to enjoy the brief time we have on this bitch of an earth is cringey will be blocked ^_^ <3

I'm getting the tiniest bit tired of this whole "I'm Kilbride and I hate everything and everyone here" like ok leave then babycakes? cause it's literally the only thing he talks about and kinda overshadows a lot of other stuff he says. He should kinda know by now how this team is all over the place all the time.

Kilbride. Buddy. You’ve been here a while now. This team hides things. This team goes rogue. This team doesn’t check in. This team doesn’t listen. This team tells lies when they feel they need to. If you haven’t adjusted to their way of life by now, you either need to leave or fire all of them.

How to write a kiss

Rebloggable version, as requested by davrosbro. :)

Oooh!  Yes!  I love kisses.  Kisses are where it all starts ;).

Okay, first, remember that kiss is much, much more than just lips.  It is lips, but also tongues, teeth, eyes, faces, hands, noses, bodies, heartbeats,  breath, voice- and most importantly, a kiss is emotions.  A kiss without emotion is just wet mushy lips stuck together.  Ew.  Gross.  The most important part of a kiss isn’t the how, but the who- because of the emotions between the two people.

Okay so:

lips- Lips can slide, glide over each other smoothly, or they can be chapped and rough and dry and get stuck on each other.  They can match, top-to-top and bottom-to-bottom, or they can overlap, with one person’s top or bottom lip captured between the other person’s lips (yummy).  If there is lipstick or chapstick there is lipstick or chapstick flavor, otherwise, lips don’t have a taste (can you taste yours?).  Lips also can smack- the sound of two of them coming together or pulling apart, because they’re wet and warm and soft. 

tongue- Tongues are always wet, and always warm.  They’re very versatile.  They can trace over lips, teeth, or another tongue.  They can be smooth and graceful or teasing and flicking.  When tongues are involved, there is drool.  It’s only sexy when you like the person you’re kissing, or else it’s kinda gross. :P

teeth- teeth can clack together awkwardly, or teeth can bite down sensually.  A person biting their own lip is cute, a person biting another’s lips is sexy.  A person biting gently is sensual, a person biting roughly is sexual. 

eyes- Eyes can be wide open with surprise, half-lidded with desire, fully closed with pleasure.  Eyes can gaze lovingly, lustfully, wistfully, hungrily, seductively- it all depends upon the emotions of your characters.  Have them do whatever you like, but don’t leave them out- give them at least a mention!

faces- Faces are what the lips are attached to.  Noses bump, cheeks flush, ears turn red, foreheads either wrinkle or relax.  Kisses can leave lips, quite easily, and become kisses on chins, cheeks, noses, foreheads, ears, necks, throats.  Kisses on noses or foreheads are cute and adorable, kisses on cheeks are sweet, kisses on chins, ears, and throats are very sexual.  And a kiss on the lips can be all of those! <3

hands- Hands are super-important.  In order to describe a kiss, usually you want to also describe the hands.  Where are they?  Does one character have on on the back of the other’s head or back, holding them close?  Are they on someone’s shoulders pulling them near, or pushing them away?  Fingers brushing someone’s cheek or palms grabbing someone’s ass convey two very different kinds of situations, even if the kiss itself is exactly the same.

noses- Noses are annoying.  They easily get in the way, especially for first kisses!  People have to tilt their head to one side or the other, and if they don’t, noses bump.  I’d only mention noses if a kiss is supposed to be awkward or uncertain or nervous.

bodies- bodies are either close together, or far away.  Someone can be surrounded comfortingly by someone’s arms, or terrifyingly trapped by them.  Bodies are warm or hot, they are calm or nervous, relaxed or tense.  Body language says a lot.  Is your character pulling away, or moving closer?

heartbeat- Hearts can beat fast or slow, and that’s about all they can do- but there are lots of reasons why they do!  A heart can beat fast with fear or excitement or nervousness; a heart can pound with lust or race with terror or sing with joy.  Hearts can glow, cower, or shatter.  When you really want to drive the emotions of a character home, mention the heart.

breath- To me, the most consuming part of a kiss is the breath.  The air that someone else has just breathed going deep into your lungs is very intimate.  Lips and tongues don’t have a taste, but breath does.  Each person’s breath tastes different, smells different, and surrounds a person differently than anyone else’s breath.  Breath can be warm and sweet, breath can be hot and sexy, breath can be hot and frightening.  It is something that is very present and should not be left out.  A lot of writers leave breath out.  And it’s so important; it’s the most intimate part of a kiss.  Someone else is breathing into your lungs, and it’s either heaven or it’s hell.

voice- Voice conveys much, even without words.  A voice can groan, whimper, gasp, moan, catch, whine, scream, sigh.  Voice can convey emotion powerfully, and while some kisses are silent, usually they’re not. 

emotion-  Emotion is the most important- and the thing you try not to say.  You want to describe it, through all of the things above, so that it’s perfectly clear what your characters are feeling, without you ever using the “feelings words”.  If they’re in love, their bodies will lean close, their eyes will smile, their voices will giggle softly.  If they’re nervous, their palms will sweat, their noses will bump, their voices will shudder.  If they’re afraid, their muscles will be tense, their faces will grimace, their lips will not open.  Emotion is the color that you keep inside your mind as you write; it’s the base line that drives the description behind everything else you say.

Wow, that was a lot!  Gosh I hope it wasn’t too much!  Keep in mind not every kiss has all these things- this is just a list of things to consider when writing a kiss, and based on how long of a kiss you want to make.  Keep in mind that typing “they kissed for a long time”…that’s six words, it takes half a second to read, so that’s a short kiss!  If you want a long kiss, you need long sentences that make the reader linger. 

So maybe to start off, pick three things on the list to describe in your first kiss.  Don’t try to do it all- that would be too much for even the most epic kiss.  Just pick what’s most important to this particular scene, to these particular characters, and describe those parts along with the lips, and you’ve got yourself an awesome, emotional kiss. <3

Symbols for Writing Use

When I’m writing, I always feel stressed when I’m trying to put symbolism in one of my stores. I never know if I’m doing it right, and I never know which objects to give meaning. Any object can be a symbol, but here’s a big ol list of some classic symbols to use in literature if you ever get stuck:

Animals

Dove - Peace Lion - Courage/Strength Bird - Freedom Raven - Trickster Crow - Bad Omens, but Can Be Sacred in Some Cultures Bat - Guardian of Night, Illusion Spider - Creativity, Intelligence Wolf/Fox - Loyalty, Intelligence, Playfulness Cat - Balance, Independence, Curiosity Horse - Determination Deer (Doe) - Innocence, Grace Butterfly - Transformation, Rebirth Swan - Divinity, Power of Self Panda - Gentle Strength, Luck Rabbit - Fear, Caution, Fertility

Weather

Rain - Not Sadness, New Opportunity, Cover of Darkness (shelter)

Snow - Cleansing

Storming - Conflicted Emotions, Anger

Fire Storm (Forest Fire, Volcanoes) - Earthly (nonhuman) anger, aggressive renewal, danger

Silver Lining of Clouds - Hope

Smoke - Desperation, Calm Before the Storm

Objects

I meant what I said when I said that symbolism can be tacked on to any object, but here are the most classic

Generational Weapons (ex. a father’s gun passed to a daughter) - Wisdom from pain, chance for forgiveness of donor

Glass - Fragile Order

Tree - Quiet Wisdom

Eyeglasses - Intelligence, Societal Order

Lockets/Family Heirlooms - Belonging, Familial Bonds, Vitality

Book/Pen/Pencil - Lasting Intelligence

Mask (dependent on context) - Cover of Secrecy, Safety in Anonymity

Animal Souvenirs (ex. boar’s head on stake) - Defiance Against Nature

Colors

Red - Passion, Impulsivity, Anger

Orange - Happiness, Enthusiasm

Yellow - Joy, Innocence, Peace

Green - Growth, Harmony

Blue - Stability, Loyalty, Intelligence

Purple - Royalty, New Strength and Leadership

Black - Mystery, Death, Quiet Solitude

White - Divinity, Cruel Strength, Lack of Empathy

How to Use Them

1. Be sure that the symbols are recurrent. The most effective way to let your reader know that this is, in fact, a symbol is to constantly remind them that your symbol is present

2. Use as directed. If a scene doesn’t require the use of a certain symbol, then don’t add it. For example, don’t insert characters who are about to be cleansed from their past and be reborn into better people in a scene set with a stormy atmosphere.

3. Explain, but don’t hold hands. Once the reader is clear that a symbol has been laid out and is present in your story, be sure that they understand exactly what the symbol is there to do. Of course, leave much of it up to interpretation, but don’t have its use be so loose that it’s difficult to pinpoint.

I hope this helped, and to anyone who might use this, good luck, happy writing!
