i think if i ever get famous, which is a massive if, i'm just gonna be like paru itagaki and make all my public appearances in a mask. everyone will recognize me as the weirdo in the dragon mask with a voice modulator. if i've learned anything from the superhero genre, it's that.

#had a discussion with some of my coworkers today and it gave me this idea #also i've been thinking about posting my other creative pursuits on here too #like i cosplay a lot #and i've been getting into more masked cosplays #would anyone be interested in seeing that? #idk just throwing things at a wall #writeblr #writers of tumblr

i don't think people realize how amazing it is when they create something. every day, the universe is constantly expanding, changing, the stars flickering into something beautiful. with every act of creation, we're carrying out the universe's work, continuing to expand this world, changing it into something amazing. it could be something as complex as a movie or a song, or something as simple as doodling a character or writing a few sentences.

we are children of the universe, and we are a part of creating it.

creation is holy.

my favorite romance trope is like. you dont want to hurt me but i am asking you to hurt me. i need you to stab me. i need you to carve this out of me. i need you to cut something off of me. this will hurt both of us in incredible ways. yours are the only hands i trust enough to weild this knife. you do not want to hurt me. i am asking you to hurt me.

#oc posting again but #shahar and jedediah

[jules-tells-a-story]

i do not ghost purposely i just have no idea what to say ever

#me #i swear i don't mean to vanish for days on end i'm just like that

[jules-tells-a-story]

as i was standing around the barbecue joint yesterday worrying about my friend jonathan harker i started thinking like... honestly we would all benefit from having at least one blorbo from a book/play that's at least a hundred years old. not to be a shakespeare enjoyer on main but in this day and age everything is so focused on new releases, trending hashtags, teaser trailers, etc. and overall i feel like the shelf life of fiction/art is getting increasingly short for a lot of complex and overlapping reasons. i think it's good for the brain and spirit to get deeply insanely attached to something older than your great grandparents. sure you get "cultured" but you really learn a lot too. and it makes you fun at parties. this is me btw

#me with the minotaur #he didn't ask to be this way and he was doomed to a life of torment #big bull man my beloved

[jules-tells-a-story]

Yes I know I fucked up the grammar of that question. I can’t change it

#war for sargada would fuck as a live action movie #same with the devil's machine #aries and the lion would probably do better as an animated movie tho

[jules-tells-a-story]

oh shoot, my first tag! awesome! :D i'm doing a bit of work on war for sargada before i start nanowrimo, so here's a little snippet of that!

jarro laughed as he wrapped his huge hand around seren's paw, an amused smile spreading over his lips. "alright, tiny," he said, pulling her closer to him with his big tail. "let's dance."

i'll soft tag @albatris @spiderman-adorer @jgmartin, no pressure to do it if you don't want to though!

Out of Context Line (Tag Game)

Thank you for the tag, @abalonetea! (This post)

This is perfect because I love sharing out of context lines! I was working on Minding Q's yesterday, so here's my last line:

“I’m gonna take a nap,” Sterling decided, pulling off his coat so he could use it as a blanket. “Wake me up when it’s time for pancakes.”

Gonna gently tag... @athenswrites, @autumnalwalker, @worldsfromhoney, @my-cursed-prince, and open tag for anyone else that wants to play!
