Do you think people who are virgin should write smut? I feel like most of them don’t even know what they’re writing and just write what they think sex is

the implication this ask suggests that people who write about murders, cannibalism, politics, magic, royalty au, sci-fi, wars, supernatural, time travel, medieval era, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins must be murderers, cannibals, presidents, wizards, royalties, astronauts, ghost hunters, soldiers, time travelers, knights, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins in real life is so funny to me

I have to say it. 'enemies to lovers' started going down the shitter when people began treating it like 'people who kind of annoy each other to lovers' ENEMIES to LOVERS is about if two girls FOR REAL want to KILL each other

and if i tear myself apart and reforge myself in a desperate bid for someone to choose me... would anyone mourn what i had destroyed? would that version of me be worth notice once out of reach? and which answer is more tragic?

[touchingmadness]

I am both.

Chosen One Whump

You're exhausted, you're not recovered from your wounds, but you have to go and fight the latest threat anyway. You're the only one who can.

You disguise yourself, making yourself seem as small and ordinary and nonthreatening as possible, so that people don't recognize you, because the hero worship feels so uncomfortable.

Your sworn companions are the only ones who treat you remotely like a human, but even so, you can see the distance and fear in their eyes when you return to them soaked in blood.

You're used to hard travel, long days walking or riding, short nights sleeping in a bedroll on cold, damp ground, taking shifts to watch for threats.

The people in the city who take you for granted, laughing about how threats will never touch them, not with you to protect them.

Worse, the people who whisper behind your back about how you're not doing enough.

The smartest and most cunning of your companions has a plan in place to defeat you if you're ever corrupted into evil. You smile and nod, knowing it wouldn't work. You would crush all of them like ants under your boot. You suspect that your companion knows it, too.

The healing magic drains you, leaving you feeling like a hollow shell, but you have no choice but to use it. Healing your wounds the normal way would leave the city vulnerable for too long. You feel as if your body is barely stitched together by magic.

You must attend meetings and balls and diplomatic events, awkward in uncomfortable formal clothes. You're there as a weapon, as a threat, and everyone knows it.

Every two-bit villain and their lackeys wants to kill you. You can't go anywhere without the threat of assassins in the dark and poison in your food and drink.

You've nearly died so many times, and each time the threat of death is more of a relief. You don't want to think about what that means. If you die, everyone else will too.

Your sleep is full of nightmares of all the things you've seen and done. Even in sleep you can't get a respite from fighting.

vaguely inspired by FFXIV

screaming, crying, throwing up, as I force myself to write a story i'm very passionate about and love writing and have no obligation to write except that i want to

[touchingmadness]

The first thing about writing fic is that there are always those characters that you love writing POV for because they feel like you in so many ways.

The OTHER thing about writing fic is that there are those characters that you CAN'T write POV for because they too feel like you in so many ways.

i need to write, but first i need to read to remember how books work, but first i need to get over the mother of all reading slumps

…anyone have any tips?

sometimes a relationship with a woman and a man is anything but straight. hope this helps

[touchingmadness]

I just think it’s romantic to be possessive over someone’s death. No one gets to kill you but me. I want to hold you as you die. Your last breath should mingle with mine. I want your blood on my hands because I’m the one that spilled it.
