“what’s your favorite horror story” oh idk maybe the fact that something in me makes everyone leave and writing stories is the only way to make them stay

[thewriting-corner]

when the enemy couldn’t reach me so I turned out to be a romance writer with no love life and sci-fi & dystopia writer who failed science in high school

[thewriting-corner]

probably needed a hug but I wrote the books I needed as a teen instead 🫶🏼

[thewriting-corner]

“you’re so funny!”

thanks! every guy that’s liked me back either took it back or was too scared/embarrassed to admit it, so now I write books where the villains look, talk, think and/or act like them

Re-reading The Black Reckoning and just imagining in my head the characters reactions during the first battle like:

The Dire Magnus seeing his crush show up: 🥰🥰😍😃😃😊😇

Rourke: the f—⁉️

Imps: um…. 😐

Screechers: uhh, should we…? screech…? yet…?

Emma, dying: 🫨🤔

Michael: 🙄🙄🙄

Dr Pym: 😏 *called it*

Oddly Specific Tropes I Love

It’s been ages since I’ve made this kind of post and I missed it. Cheers to me for being back (kinda) 🥂

Time Travel Romance

When someone from the future falls for someone, ESPECIALLY the future villain, from the past and they are torn between going back to their normal lives, and staying with the love of their life. And when it’s the villain??? 😫😫 The main character being torn not just between their normal life and love, but whether or not this person is worth saving. Best trope in existence

whatever tf was going on with Maddie and Josh in Liv & Maddie

I have no explanation for this. They are the loss of my life. They should’ve been endgame and I will forever be angry that the writers chose Diggy instead

The moment in friends to lovers where it’s so obvious to everyone that they belong together, but they’re scared to say so

That one BTTM scene when Liz and Wes are watching a movie with their friends and the air is full of uncertainty??? And they want to kiss ???? But they are FRIENDS so they can’t do anything ????? But keep flirting regardless ???? slaps

grumpy adult who befriends and adopts a child who always felt unwanted

I can’t think of any book or show that has this trope. All I can think of is my dogs LOL but LDF’s series has a similar version of this trope…

doomed romance

Jacks and Evangeline from Once Upon A Broken Heart… need I say more?

the overachieving, often invisible character who felt alone their entire life but was somehow the family’s only hope grows up and things get better

Alex from Modern Family 😭 she gives me so much hope for the future lol here’s to hoping this isn’t my peak lol

I’m a writer. Of course I will microanalyse every single piece of entertainment media I consume

[thewriting-corner]

I’m a writer. Of course I think I’m better than everybody else around me (jk) (sort of) (there’s just something about getting the highest grade in writing assignments yk) (i promise I’m normal)

[thewriting-corner]

I’m a writer. Of course I have a thought once in a blue moon and immediately spam-text my writer friends about it

[thewriting-corner]

I’m a writer. Of course the daydreams of book scenes I have sometimes make me break into tears sometimes

[thewriting-corner]

I’m a writer. Of course that really messed up thing someone said to me a thousand months ago will be added verbatim into a scene

[thewriting-corner]

I’m a writer. Of course I’m gonna take every single traumatic thing that happens to me as inspiration for my book

[thewriting-corner]

I’m a writer. Of course I do everything except write and then complain I don’t have enough time to do so

[thewriting-corner]

My roman empire is I will keep writing the same story over and over again in different genres until I get the words to stop repeating themselves in my heart

[thewriting-corner]

my roman empire is someday getting to show off my friends’ books to whoever comes to my house, and getting to be successful authors together

[thewriting-corner]

when the great authors disappeared for days and weeks at a time to write a book, they were “iconic” and “hard workers” and “the greatest artists on earth”, but when I do it, I am “unhealthy” and “showing signs of depression” and “disregarding my responsibilities”
