narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

#oh that!!! #relationships

Xiánzi's father, currently still unnamed (orz), was a young xiá, wandering the wilderness alone. Somewhere he wasn't supposed to be. Birdsong was distant. There was only a handful of insects in the forest. He didn't know how long he had been walking and his sense of time had been obliterated.

And in the warm light of a clearing he stumbled onto a woman dressed in silk. He didn't need to be healed, specifically, but she helped to release him.

And of course he came back.

Hey Writeblr, today's writing question:

If you have a romantic pairing, did they have a meet cute? Or was it a train wreck?

Alon and Lunurin absolutely had a meet cute and I got to write it for the prologue my lovely editor requested I can't wait for you to read it!

Top-Tier Villain Motivations

They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.

I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.

Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.

Yes, Master

Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!

I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)

I don't want a better future, I want a better past!

No other way to get performance art funded these days

Y'know, I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen Jack Chains more in fantasy tbh, like it's a really interesting and low budget armor style, I'm legit surprised I've almost never seen it in media

The highly social and expressive grey wolves are most well-suited to cooperative hunting of all the canids. Playtime looks pretty much the same though! ©

when a powerful figure is reduced to kneeling. when the lord is forced to bow. when the exile stumbles into an unwelcoming bar. when the “beast” is chained by their horns. when a god is dragged behind their enemy’s chariot, a captive and trophy. when the loyal “guard dog” character is muzzled and the silver-tongued thief falls silent in horror.

that’s the shit

it’s about the contrapasso. the reversal of roles and the sudden, plunging terror of being unable to hide.
