you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

Me: ok brain time to think about writing, we’re outlining act 1!

My brain: act 2 Kori catches a laundry thief and threatens him with violence

Imaginr if there were Two women with something Gay & Weird going on

me making my oc a worse person

I got uhhh another 500 words of outlining done last night with my favorite snippet being “so they workshop ideas. Nadya suggests killing Sheamus” bc honestly? She should and that would be so real of her

[scytheswrites]

The gang: “if you get enough money to pay off the debt then maybe he’ll leave you alone!”

Kori: “hahahaha sure” *secretly planning to pocket the money and flee to Cuba*

*realizes a driving force for the plot of my wip makes no sense*

*subverts this by making it someone else’s idea that my protag knows is ridiculous and just pretends to go along with it* yeah sure that’ll work

oh god but the bigger question is who helped her choose it??? If it was Diego it’s gonna be partly cringe at the least. It can’t be Ruis I feel like he only listens to Latin EDM and/or divorced dad rock. I can’t imagine what Murphy’s suggestions would be but definitely the choices would be dated.

*opens the toxic yuri wrestling doc* immediately hit with a roadblock that my protag needs entrance music. Fuck

what does your oc take note of when meeting someone for the first time? do they pay attention to details in the person's appearance, their manners, their vocabulary...?

Saying "I love you" without saying "I love you" — some ways your otp can silently express affection

Forehead kisses, and smiling through the kiss

Resting their forehead on the other’s after a kiss

Tucking strands of loose hair behind their ears, with a thumb caressing their cheek

Interlacing their fingers with the other’s when they least expect it

Sleepy back hugs when the other person is busy whipping up breakfast in the kitchen, catching them by surprise

Just doing their own things in the same space; being so comfortable around the other even in their pyjamas

Holding both their hands while holding their gaze gently, just before leaning in for a kiss

Switching positions with the other when walking down a busy sidewalk because your feel the need to keep the other safe

Being playfully clingy in the mornings when one has an off day and the other has to rush to work

Getting them something from the store when they only mentioned it in passing

When one is overseas for a work trip and everything they see reminds them of the other person (bonus: whenever it happens, they take a picture and drop the other person a text.)

Squeezing their hand reassuringly and holding their hand throughout an intense social situation (eg. a large school reunion which the more introverted person is dreading)

Kissing away their tears

^ and letting the other cry on their shoulder even when their t-shirt gets soaked from their tears

Meeting them where they are, mentally and emotionally; never forcing them to do anything they aren’t comfortable with

Wholeheartedly supporting their dreams, and putting that into action by making concrete plans for it to happen

Dropping the other person an encouraging text before an important interview/event

Surprising the other with flowers just because; no occasion and no reason needed

Picking the other person up from work when it’s getting late, and walking them right to their doorstep after

Good morning and goodnight texts

Making the other person a Spotify playlist with songs that remind them of their relationship and growth

Remembering the littlest of things — activities they like and dislike, favourite brands of stationery, go-to ice cream flavour, choice of popcorn

Writing little notes on post-its and leaving them in random pages of their textbook, so that they will get a little endorphin boost when studying

[scytheswrites]

why is it that my brain would rather write anything but the actual plot. Would rather write backstory or scenes from another POV. I wrote a whole ass prologue in two days after not writing for years and now I’m stuck again. I would rather write this wip from the perspective of the goddamn dog. Several pages of just “mom is sad :(“ and it would be more compelling to write
