i like the concept of soulmates—not a “you’re destined to meet me, and love me” kind of soulmate, but a “i’d pick you, every time.” kind of soulmate. a “no matter what happens, and what has happened, i want to go through it with you.” kind of soulmate. a “i love you by choice, and you’re a blessing, and i’m going to continue thinking about you this way not because i have to but because i want to.” kind of soulmate. a “you help me rest easy when everything is difficult” kind of soulmate. a “in every possible outcome, i want you there, to share it with me.” kind of soulmate.

tricky words I always see misspelled in fics: a guide

Viscous/vicious – Viscous is generally used to describe the consistency of blood or other thick liquids. Vicious is used to describe something or someone who is violent. 

Piqued/Peaked/Peeked – To pique someone’s interest is to catch or tease their attention. When something peaks, it reaches its total height or intensity. To peek (at) something is to look briefly, or glance. 

Discrete/Discreet – this is a tough one. Discrete means to be separate, or distinct, i.e., two discrete theories. Conversely, when someone is discreet, they are being secretive or cautious to avoid attention. 

Segue/Segway – one is a transition between things, the other is a thing you can ride at the park and definitely fall off of.

Conscious/Conscience/Conscientious – to be conscious is to be awake, i.e., not unconscious, or to be aware of something. Your conscience is the little voice in your head telling you not to eat the entire pint of ice cream. Finally, to be conscientious is to be good, to do things thoroughly, to be ruled by an inner moral code. 

Hope this helped! Please add more if you think of them!

music ask meme : DEAD MAN’S BONES (2009)

a selection of lyrics from the 2009 album dead man’s bones. modified slightly for rp purposes.

my suitcase is packed with all your heartbeats.

i walk to their sound and head towards the sun, so my shadow will cover the tears on the ground.

i’m moving away from the place where you took your last breath.

i won’t go whistling by your grave.

i’m buried in this house.

i know i should have said more.

there’s something in the shadows.

a dark heart is beating, waiting for you.

there are no windows and the floors still creak.

the devil’s coming for you and yours.

they don’t bury bodies from the drowned.

we can let our heartbeats go.

we’re like the lambs to its slaughter.

i can’t fit in this skin. it’s worn and useless thin.

the flies in the sky make it hard to see it to the end.

i hold my soul from lands unknown, so i can play the strings of your death.

we won’t destroy you.

i wish that we were magic.

i sank in the deep of your eyes.

i got lost in your graveyard. now i dream on a bed of knives.

i watched the shores for you.

all you left was time to find a solid grave.

now i hold my poems for those unknown, until my hands grow weak.

you’re gonna lose your soul tonight.

i get up in the morning to the beat of a drum.

this feeling keeps me on the run.

you’d look nice in a grave.

death is on my face.

if you wait too long, you’ll never see the dawn again.

my skull is full of sunken ships.

my heart’s a prisoner to my ribs.

we’re flesh and bone when we’re all alone.

there’s gold in my heart, but the winds took my sails through the dark.

without the sun, i’m only shadows in a dress.

if the full moon comes, our love is done.

you should know what’s really going on below.

there are rows and rows and rows of dead man’s bones.

they’ve been livin’ six feet deep.

the world was built on bones.

when i think about you, flowers grow out of my grave.

Make your writing more spontaneous. You don’t have to outline every single detail. Allow your story to unfold, allow your story to lead you. Sometimes the best scenes show up unplanned.

soft prompts for couples who aren’t together yet

hugs that last a little longer than they should

immediately looking at the other after telling/doing something funny in hope to see their smile

making playlists and mood boards for the other

trying to learn about the others interests

continuously denying others who think they are together

“no we are not together!! … at least not yet…”

finding similar fictional characters who shares the other one’s MBTI and enneagram type

trying to know little things about them by observing

always giving the utmost attention to the other if they are in a crowd

associating random things with them

getting matching key rings

hanging out together often

[shakes jar] you got any tips for when you get stuck for ideas one the plotline

I think I've seen other posts like this so if it seems like I'm borrowing tips from other people, I am!

Just leave it. You can come back to it later

Make a list or some other mapping device for possible ideas: What can realistically happen next? What do all the characters think of the situation? Would any of them be compelled to do something about it? Is there a character you haven't remembered to consider as much as you should've? Think of motivations, character viewpoints, consequences of previous actions ect

Think of something right off the top of your head. Does it suck? That's okay, do it again. Don't think too hard about it. While this might not help you come up with an immediate solution (or maybe yes, that'd be nice), it does help you loosen up your thinking muscles. That's already a step towards getting unstuck with a plotline

Take a creative break (not to be confused with the first point on this list). By this I mean, step back, do self care, watch some cool shows or other artists, ykno general recharging. Especially in the artistic sense. Try something new, read or watch a creative thing, gather inspiration and so on

Reread everything you've got so far. I do this, at least. It helps me get back up to date on what's already happened and sometimes that can help in getting back on track with new stuff.

Get a fresh pov: As feedback from a friend, family member or, perhaps a tumblr blog like you're doing right now lol.. But generally get some views and thoughts on it, sometimes other people might be able to bring up something you never thought of!

Expanding on the first point: Work on something else in the meantime. It can be something more minor, or details, lore, background stuff ect. It may help inspire new ideas if you have the previous stuff more filled in already

Hope this helps! Don't overwork yourself, you got this!

just realized I have now over 100 followers hello?!!!!?? I started this blog in september 2021 simply with the desire of connecting with other writers and possibly inspire others whose hobbies are connected to writing, and didn't think too much of just doing it in a sideblog. I love posting little prompts and ideas every once in a while just to get my imagination flowing, and it's really nice to see people enjoy them.

for those who don't know, I am currently working on a draft of what I hope will be my debut novel in the future, and even though I am not yet ready to share something about it, it fills my heart with joy to see my writing is already appreciated as it is, even if in a shorter form.

I actually had plans to move into a main blog someday, just so I could properly follow and interact with everyone, but if that ever happens, I'll post about it here.

thank you for sticking around, little loves ♡

#100 might not be that much for some people buuuuut all I do is post silly prompts and people like it wow! #thank you thank you #pers

"I'm glad you're okay" but said by someone who has just had the shit beaten out of them, to someone who is not hurt at all, is a brilliant trope and I lose my mind every time.
