I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

Got long, under the cut :)

"I've got a headache."

Lexi: "Oh, man I got a headache. Well, that's what ibuprofen is for. Time to go out to a crowded bowling alley!"

Maddie: "I've felt worse. I'll be fine." (Is dizzy)

Ash: "I have felt worse before. Maybe I should use those probing devices :)" (bad idea)

Gwen: (if she has nothing to do) "I should probably go lie down. I don't feel good." (If she does) "I feel terrible, but I'll push through. For [person]."

Robbie: "Pfft I'll be fiiiine don't worry about it! I have braved through more before!" (Is later seen lying down)

Akash: "No need to worry about me. I'll take some Tylenol and be okay."

Jedi: "I will be alright. We have medication for a headache." *Injects himself with some over the counter drugs*

Carmen: "Everyone BE QUIET I have a headache!"

Everyone is so healthy here (:

Prompt: Uh oh, you forgot to do something very important!

Lexi: "Oh no! I forgot!?? How??" *flips frantically through her color-coded planner* "I couldn't have forgotten to write it down.... it's not possible...it has to be here somewhere..."

Maddie: "I did? Whoops."

Ash: "Oh. Sorry. Uh, guess I'll try and remember next time."

Gwen: "Oh my gosh I am so sorry I forgot!! I've been under so much stress lately... It won't happen again. What can I do for you to help?"

Robbie: "Oh SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT--" *scrambles around trying to get it done in five seconds*

Akash: "WHAT?! Shit, there's no way I forgot... Guess I did, huh. What is wrong with me? This is why I write stuff down... Oh, um, sorry I forgot, man. Uhh hey is there any way I can make this up to you? Like now? Cause this may haunt me."

Jedi: "Oh, I am terribly sorry... It must be sleep deprivation... I apologize, I will go do that now."

Carmen: *borderline panic attack, likely kicks or punches something*

"Where are we? How did we get here?"

Perfect for TSP actually

Lexi: "Wait, what just happened? Everything just simultaneously changed. The temperature and humidity levels are different. I must be dreaming." (Anxious)

Maddie: "Woah that was super weird. Where do you think we are? (Excited and curious)

Ash: "What-- that isn't possible...but it clearly is... what happened?" (Is also genuinely curious)

Gwen: "Woah. How did we get here? It's... admittedly cool here. Beautiful even."

Robbie: "Holy shit, where are we?! Did I blackout? Or was I just walking and not paying attention so much I took a wrong turn?"

Akash: "Dude...what happened? Did we take a wrong turn? I don't think we did - I was paying attention."

Jedi: "Well... *looks around and pokes at the map on his tablet* it appears this map was not as straightforward as I assumed. I frankly have no idea how we got here. I suppose we are lost. Well, if we must be here, let us survey the area and collect data." (This is what I call the Star Trek Voyager method)

Carmen: "Who gave me wrong directions?! There is no way I possibly got lost. Who can tell me in precise detail how we got here?!"

"I don't have enough curse words for how much you pissed me off."

This one was harder than I thought because most of these guys don't get cold angry, but I'll try.

Lexi: "I have a pretty large vocabulary. I know all the synonyms for, like, every curse word. But I don't think that I know enough for you!"

Maddie: "Hm. I'm not sure I can think of enough curse words that can describe how I feel toward you. Like, none of them work."

Ash: "I would love to cuss you out, but nothing is accurately describing how mad I just got."

Gwen: "I'm not exactly one for swearing, and I'm really pissed that I can't use any cuss word in English, Spanish, or Italian because you're making me so angry."

Robbie: "Bro, I have the most creative swears I know, and even I can't think of one you deserve."

Akash: "Y'know you're pissing me off so much that I literally cannot think of a good enough swear for you."

Jedi: "I will have you know that I am not one for expletives, and I see that this is because I have never been able to find one that quite describes how I am feeling toward people like you."

Carmen: "I would love for you to see how angry I am, but unfortunately you're such an irritating idiot that I cannot find a single swear in my vocabulary that can accurately depict that fury!"

"You want me to eat that?"

Lexi: "Oh, you want me to eat this? Um, that's...fine, thank you.... Y'know I actually ate a lot earlier, and I don't think you want me to eat anything else...thanks though. Really thoughtful of you."

Maddie: "I don't want to eat that."

Ash: "No offense, but I'm not going to like this."

Gwen: "It was very sweet of you to think of me, but I don't actually like [ingredients]. Yeah...sorry. I feel bad, can I do anything for you?"

Robbie: *long exhale* "Look, man, I know you worked really hard on this. And...yeah it's awesome for you to uh....do this. But...I don't think you want me to eat that."

Akash: "That food looks interesting. Oh, you want me to eat that? Umm. Okay..."

Jedi: "It would...be my pleasure to eat this. However, I am afraid I don't quite like this meal."

Carmen: "Why would you want me to eat that? It's gross."

Alrighty that's finally done. Softly tagging @aziz-reads @atelierwriting @mysticstarlightduck @steh-lar-uh-nuhs @stesierra @rickie-the-storyteller @sam-glade @memoriethereaderandwriter-blog @ahordeofwasps @spitefulbull + anyone else who wants to

people love to complain about sex scenes in tv shows and violence in movies when the real danger is scenes that make you feel second hand embarrassment.

Rewrite Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @buffythevampirelover! :D

Rules: rewrite the given line in your voice, then provide a line from your WIP for others to rewrite!

Your snippet:

The town sends me off. A tight knit community, so it’s a big deal when someone comes or goes. I’m the first of my generation to go in a very long time. Besides those who left to train for the royal guard and become a knight, no one my age has left. The boat ride is short, our island is quite close to the next. Tayanbith. It has the biggest mountain range, and also the only island with such vast and varied weather. Even as I soar on the ocean, freezing wind making my two braids dance, I can feel the temperature rise.

My rewrite:

The town turns out to see me go. In a tight-knit community like this, comings and goings are always important. Especially when I'm the first in a very long time of my generation to leave — except the ones who go to train for the royal guard, then become knights. It's a short boat ride from our island to Tayanbith. Of all the islands, Tayanbith has the biggest mountain range and the least predictable weather. I can feel the temperature rise even out here, soaring on the ocean, the freezing wind catching my braids and making them dance.

New excerpt, from Silver Glass:

"It's not what you think," Eames insisted before Yo-han had a chance to say anything. When people thought someone didn't believe them, they had an amazing tendency to give away information they otherwise wouldn't have admitted under torture. Yo-han already had a fairly clear idea of exactly what was happening, and if it wasn't what he thought then he should retire, so it was easy to look disbelieving.

This is from Name From Nowhere...

“Yes,” she whispers, resting her arms along the back of the couch, fingers moving as if she’s catching music in the air. “Hollow bodies.”

passing along the no-pressure tag to @ahordeofwasps, @aziz-reads, @ryns-ramblings, @toribookworm22, @bluberimufim, and an open tag for anyone with lines to share

have (more than) 9 lines (i can't count) from the Untitled Cyberwitch WIP:

“You could’ve told me, at any point, and you decided it was better to just… disappear?” “You would’ve tried to help.” “And that would’ve just been so fucking horrible.” They need to stop. The heat behind V’s eyes, the tightness in their throat tells them that they need to stop. “We were friends, Jules. You were my…” The words won’t come out. Jules hadn’t been their boyfriend; V's never had those. But he’d been someone — someone V would think about when he wasn’t around. Someone who made V want to be strong, and held them when they couldn’t be strong anymore. The only one who knew V’s secrets — more than anyone else, more than Jacqui. Jules was the only one V’d thought to call when they’d overdosed in that abandoned tenement. V’d never had a word for Jules. They still don’t.
