...and to die in haughty consciousness that you know not the number of your victims, that you made no one happy but were unforgettable for everybody.

a tip for writing female characters: don’t be afraid to make her feral. just absolutely batshit. her actual intelligence? that can vary. but bring out the chaotic stupid tendencies. embrace her as a one brain cell enemy of the state

“The word ‘fury,’ as we use it today, implies chaotic, unfocused frenzy, but the Furies themselves embodied justified anger, stemming from an adamantine moral code. In Homer, they are curses made flesh, released upon those who commit a crime or threaten the natural order. Seneca the Younger calls them ‘they who with awful brows investigate men’s crimes and sift out ancient wrongs.’ In Ovid, they are the chthonic guards of souls judged too wicked for paradise. They are fearsome-looking creatures, unsmiling, uncrying (except, Ovid tells us, when Orpheus plays). They bristle with snakes—in their hair, wreathing their limbs, fastening their garments, held in their hands like whips. They dress in black or blood-red. Sometimes they breathe poison. This grotesque image might seem to be at odds with a righteous heart. But for anyone who might not be blameless, anger with reason and purpose and a will of iron is even more frightening than tumultuous, flailing rage.”
— Jess Zimmerman, “Anger That Can Save the World: On Justice, Feminism, and the Furies”

““I miss dreaming forwards,“ Anna said. “What?” “I dream backwards now. You won’t believe how backwards you’ll dream someday.””

What we love
will leave us
or is it
we leave
what we love,
I forget—

heeeeeYY hello I WANT NEW PLOTS. since i suck at plotting, i thought i’d do things differently this time around instead of just posting a plotting call. so here we go : you can choose your smileys, and i’ll message you. if you don’t want to post it on this post, you can send it to me via ims. it’s just to make the plotting process a little bit easier !!
🔪 : you choose the muses (yours & mine if you are a multi) and i come up with an idea
🥄 : i choose the muses & you come up with an idea
💥 : you choose the muses & i go search for a plot in your wishlist
📚 : we each choose a book/poetry quote and we construct a plot based on that
🎵 : we each choose song lyrics and we construct a plot based on that
🦧 : you already have muses + a plot in mind and you just want me to message you
ps: the ideas don’t have to and shouldn't be definitive or fully formed or anything, it’s just that we actually have something to discuss instead of a simple “ hey what do u want to write ?”

Fairy: Hey I didn’t get your name.
Me: Yeah that was on purpose.
Fairy: Oh my god stealing people’s names has been categorized as a war crime for like a hundred years. Do I seem like the kind of fairy that would do war crimes?
Me: Well yes, but that’s just my impression of you personally. Not fairies in general.
Fairy: You’re smarter than I thought.
