#Things to say

You can be sad, and not be mean

You can be angry, and not show violence

You can be bored, and not cause chaos

Feelings are valid, behaviors not always.

Do Better.

[devildog1372]

Things will be better tomorrow, I promise

Ich dachte für ne Zeit lang, es wär nur für ne Zeit lang. Doch nach einer Zeit dann, sah ich, was uns die Zeit nahm.

See? I told you they wouldn't catch you if you climbed up one of these access ladders, and look! What luck, huh pal? A nice family sitting down and talking. Hey, you heard them say something about pregnancy, right? Well, I'll give you something to add to that one!

Pregnancy doesn't cause teeth to fall out.

Jeez, pal. That is a classic case of "correlation does not equal causation" we have here. The reason why so many women lose teeth after giving birth is because in a lot of cultures it is a tradition to have a tooth pulled by the husband during labor.

It's kinda like one of those things where you can distract yourself from the pain by causing pain elsewhere, like, ya know when you scrape your knee and you're crying and your uncle comes over to you very fatherly and pinches the shit out of your nipple and for some reason that makes you feel better? It's like that, but even more endearing.

I remember each and every tooth I took from the mother of my children. Ha, we even made sure to mark the ones for pulling with nail polish in the days before we thought she might pop (we learned that trick from her mom). And I gotta say, there's an intimacy to wrapping the pulling pliers around a snug tooth and yanking with all your might as she's pushing with all her might and that baby is crowning and fluids are flying.

Blood gushes as above and so below.

There's a beautiful poetry to it, don't you think? It's a wonderful tradition.

Then of course, as the father, I hold the mother's tooth on my tongue as I use my own teeth to sever the umbilicus. Afterwards, I also of course swallow it so that it's not wasted. Rrr!

Haha, it's certainly a portent to metaphorical sacrifices I must metaphorically swallow in years to come! Haha! Hahaha! Ahh...

Well, anyways, I guess what I'm trying to say is that you've got it all wrong, pal. Like, really wrong. Do you not think critically about anything you say before you say it? Sorry if I'm coming across as mean, but I'm a man who has swallowed four of my wife's teeth and I know a thing or two about a thing or two.

Swallowing birthing teeth matures a man. Sounds like you've got a lot of teeth to swallow, bucko.

Hmm, speechless, huh? Well, they weren't ready for such a linguistic dynamo like yourself to show them up in their own home. Just leave through the front door. Other people live in the building too, and they'll be jonesing to hear you say a few things in conversation.

Bluebird

Irrepressible. She’s like a bluebird that way. Is this an angry cat? No, not at all. She’s what I call aggressively affectionate. She’s like all of us: she just wants to be heard.

It has been a long Lethargy... A dream that seems to never end. A lot of blood was shed and I thought of few things, no matter how many times I have decided to stop my screams to rest, they all gradually dissolved in my blood while I lay down to rest. Sometimes silence screams things that we dare not confess, sometimes shouting does not say what we want to release, and of all those times that we vary both things we hit bottom in one of both. The important thing is to know if I will let myself go or take it on my own.

Maybe I'm ready, maybe I'm not yet, but what I'm sure is that it's time in many more...

The cold embraces my heart

The silence will look beyond,

The stars will guide my thinking

My ink will flow endlessly.

The past tells me to stay

The future asks me. If I can move forward?

I will take my heart and my mind and together with them I will begin to walk...

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
