Just in case this needs to be said:

It’s the first draft. Use the word “suddenly.” Put as many dialogue tags and adverbs as you want. Say “he saw” “she remembered” “she felt” “they wondered” as many times as you need to. Put the em dash there, put in too many commas, use semi-colons with reckless abandon. Type in [whatever] instead of thinking up a title for something. Just write it. If you worry too much about the particulars, about all the advice posts you’ve seen saying whatever you’re doing is wrong or not good enough, you won’t get anything done. It will slow you down as you go back and try to reword what you just wrote to make it better, proper. The first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be done. And when you get to the end, you’ll find that all those “mistakes” are just clues for your future self to put together to make it all better.

Putting in adverbs and certain dialogue tags are a note for you as to who is saying something and how they’re saying it. When you’re editing, you can make sure it shows through the story instead. The word “suddenly” is a reminder to make things more abrupt. The first draft is just you mapping out where you want to go and how you want to get there. Don’t waste time trying to get it 100% right now, because then it will never get done. Don’t think too much– just write. Save the thinking for editing later.

Bastien Lévesque || vampire 

Make the mountains quake with your fury—  make even God regret the day he cast you out.  

Immortality is not all it’s cracked up to be— says the bored ancient with a penchant for loving the worst of humanity. Plucking their misery, soaking it in so that he may feel their pain and feed their inner demons. Conquering monarchies  and burning empires to the ground when he grows tired of playing their games. Give him a war and he’ll set the sky on fire and let loose hell upon your paradise.

The truth is this, every monster you have met or will ever meet, was once a human being with a soul as soft and light as silk. Someone stole that silk from their soul and turned them into this.

“What do you know about Welsh kings?” - Richard Campbell Gansey III

[mamadeathless]

Last week, he and Adam had taken turns dragging each other on a moving dolly behind the BMW, and they both still had the marks to show it. [trb]

Adam sighed and climbed into the basket of the shopping cart. He drew his knees up so that he would fit. He was full of the knowledge that this was probably going to end with scabs. [bllb]

Gansey had once told Adam that he was afraid most people didn’t know how to handle Ronan. What he meant by this was that he was worried that one day someone would fall on Ronan and cut themselves.

I really miss this side of bellamy, you have no idea. Like back then when he had an arc that wasn't influenced by someone else or a ship. His potential has been sorely wasted in season 2 based upon other’s actions. Where his decisions weren’t usurped by Clarke or Kane or whoever. Back when him and Clarke were both leaders with their unspoken language, before the authoritarian control of Queen Clarke overriding his decision to go into the mountain before deciding for him that that was what he was going to do. I hate that the writer’s stole away the potential plot of him discovering of Tondc and his sister’s inclusion in Clarke’s choice in allowing it to go up in flames. It’s about as ludicrous as everyone forgiving Fin after he killed those people without hesitation. They are essentially depriving a great character of his development and inclusion in the show and that really disappoints me. Especially since it appears to be based solely on the everyone’s desperation for this specific ship and craving it so much they ignore the development this character greatly deserves. #Rant over. #Carry on #Onetimebellarkerpresenttimesinglebellady.
