the author's barely disguised longing to be a real person

in case you're wondering how my writing is going, I just typed out the sentence "crowned with the golden crown", stared at it for a solid 2 minutes and then sighed and tabbed over to tumblr

i gave a character a dog and then instantly forgot about the dog. it has not eaten in 3 chapters. it is simply vibing in the narrative liminal space

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

Fucks me up to think about how every character in the world is literally just someone's OC
