happy pride to people still in the closet. happy pride to people who used to identify one way and are now identifying another. happy pride to every person who feels alienated and estranged from the community. happy pride to people who still feel shame and guilt about their sexuality. happy pride to every person that has felt like they don't fit the image - not thin, not white, not "classically pretty".

happy pride to every person who feels like they're not "gay enough." happy pride to people who "look" straight, or appear to be in heteronormative relationships. happy pride to every person that is "too" gay, the "flamboyant" ones that are even mocked within the community. happy pride to butch lesbians and twee bisexuals and people that don't medically transition and to every gender-neutral-nature-based name - happy pride to those of us who are usually the butt of the joke.

happy pride if you're still confused. if you used to identify as bisexual but now are going by lesbian, bitch me too. if you aren't sure if you're genderfluid or just having some Gender Feelings, that's cool too. if you feel like you know you're not straight, but you don't know what you are - you're safe.

happy pride to every person that has felt like they don't belong in this community. i promise you do belong. there is a place for you, and people that will love you. it's your celebration too.

I love the sword of hades where thalia and nico are all out in their respective punk/grunge looks and percy, who usually matches their energy with his own skater/grunge aesthetic, is in his private prep school uniform. probably had a sweater vest and a little tie and sensible loafers. I KNOW he was embarrassed as hell. I KNOW thalia was taking pictures of him to show annabeth later. I KNOW sally was mad he got blood stains on his khakis.

TIL the first known case of “dying from laughing” involved the greek man called Chrysippus, who, after giving figs to his donkey, cried out “Now give the donkey a drink of pure wine to wash down the figs”, had a fit of laughter afterwards and died.

New Writer Game!! - Writer Associations

Reblog this to receive from your followers/mutuals what they associate your writing with.

It can be a style (dark/fluff/silly/etc), it can be a topic (death/forgiveness/self-discovery), it can be a theme, it can be a character type... whatever makes your readers think of your works when they see it :]

*Kicks down the door* YOU KNOW WHUMPY TROPES I LOVE SO MUCH BUT BARELY EVER SEE?

MAGIC FATIGUE/EXHAUSTION/OVERUSE.

Give me those sweet side effects of overusing magic:

Getting lightheaded and weak, struggling to stand let alone keep fighting

"Are you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine. *immediately faceplants because their legs can't support their weight anymore*"

F a i n t i n g

Physical injuries like burns, broken bones, etc

The risk of permanent damage either physically or mentally

Can I get uuuuhhhhh "loses a sense either temporarily or permanently depending on the severity of the overuse"?

Stopping their heart (cue the team scrambling to drag their dumbass friend back from death)

THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN DO AND I SO RARELY SEE IT.

Find the Word Game!

Okay I’ve been tagged a couple of times for this now, and finally found the time to go through all the documents for my story ‘Dragon’s Blood’. Looks like it is going to be a longer one :)

Firstly i got the words: leaves, memorize, word, traditional, and match from @on-noon thank you very much for the love words!! They were a bit of a challenge to find.

Leaves:

Beneath Lyla the stony slope had been replaced by a cover of moss and decayed leaves which muffled her steps and spared her bare feet of the hardness and cold of the bedrock.

Memorise:

She had her work cut out already having to memorise the ancient language without having to worry about her mother tongue as well.

Word:

Lyla could not get a single word between her lips. Her cheeks were flushed with shame and silent tears fell from her chin. She clenched her jaw and dug her nails into her palms. “I’m sorry …” Her voice was weak and quivering slightly.

Traditional:

I couldn’t find the word traditional in my work so I’ll explain one of Arkevi’s traditions instead.

Arkevi is a land in which the goddess Vitta, the goddess of fire among other things, is ranked highest of the many deities of the world. It is because she is said to be the mother of the fire breathing dragons that live in and have great significance for Arkevi both historically and mythologically.

Hence fire, the most prominent symbol and embodiment of Vitta, is very important in Arkevi culture and tradition. One of the oldest is to make sure that the first fire in a house’s hearth is lit by one brought from either the previous home of the family, or from another sacred fire dedicated to and consecrated by Vitta. As a bonus this fire must be lit in every room of the house before it can become a home.

The same goes for public buildings and businesses, and it is in general thought to bring good fortune.

“Well, you are green. How about ‘Tinon’? It doesn’t sound all bad does it?”

The young dragon let out a sole cloud of vapour and gazed inscrutably back at her.

“‘Tinon’ it is then! It’s old as well as a good match for ‘Tirrem’.”

Secondly I was tagged by @marinesocks with the words: favor, under, feet, raise, and life. Thanks as well for making me scout through my work for all of them. It has been really fun!!!

Favour:

Rada’s smile disappeared and she gave a short nod. “I’ll see you later when I’ve saved you from the claws of the watchers once more.”

“Mhm. And how exactly did you plan on doing that?”

“Easily. Your brother’s still got a couple of favours with the watchmen hasn’t he?”

“That’s none of your business. Keep him out of this.”

“Well, I’m afraid I can’t. Favour or not it doesn’t even matter. I’m sure that he can think of something.”

Under:

Lyla pushed down the lump in her throat. It had to be now. She rushed forward ducking under the guards' grasps and made it to the podium in one leap. The children did not even have the time to blink. Lyla seized the egg in Emira’s hands and wrenched it free.

Lyla edged along the ridges of the roofs sure on her feet as a rooftop rat meanwhile scouting across the city.

“Lyla! What are you doing here?” she hissed. Then she caught sight of Vidas and raised a disapproving eyebrow though he was forgotten as soon the soldiers came into view. “I knew it! Just you wait till mum finds out about … Hey! Where are you going?”

I’m not sure if the one above counts, but it is the closest one I could find. Just in case I’ll add a fun fact about my world.

The gods/goddesses are in fact real beings though they are not made of flesh and blood but rather life force or magic. They are in fact nymphs that have grown immensely powerful through the course of millennia. They are mostly hibernating within the core of the world and only rarely show up. But when they do they most definitely bring a lot of trouble.

Life:

The Duchess huffed. “That is true. It certainly can’t be a good omen. I advise that we get rid of her immediately before her little incident puts something larger in motion.”

“I will not hear of it.”

The Queen sounded calm and nothing at all as if she was debating Lyla’s entire fate and had probably just saved the girl’s life a second time.

Once again thanks for the tags!!!

I will send this on to @kyofsonder, @lady-of-himring, @fearofahumanplanet, @finnleynightsorrow, @eternally-lame, @lady-of-himring and @moonandris

The words are: sorrow, breeze, fall, justice, and hug!
