for the word game - “wingman”
"He's my wingman, sir."
Bates looked pensive, leaning back in his chair and steepling his fingers. Tom wasn't sure what he was looking for in his face so he kept it as neutral as he could, wishing the bead of sweat wasn't rolling down the back of his neck to itch between his shoulder blades. If he moved know Bates would know how close to home his question had come.
"I see," Bates said, quietly, chewing on his lower lip without actually seeming to see him at all. "That will be all, Kazansky."

sometimes my brain is like when your pet brings their toy to show you, going 'hey, don't be sad. look, here's this prompt, what if you made your blorbos sad, then gave them comfort?'. it's kinda cute, especially at times when i feel like i'm starting to run out of ideas or don't have many that i feel like writing. for once my brain isn't mean and i've got a fic idea

So, as expected, Armin came to Candy's dorm to talk through what happened but Candy denied everything. And Armin answered that.
"Really? I'm talking about when you stuck your tongue in my mouth"
This is hilarious, the guy doesn't beat around the bush and wants to get his girl back!! No time to loose!!

tbh in Muppets fandom... idk, I feel like I just wanted to make people feel the way I felt when I watched the Muppets, especially the OG Muppet movie. I wanted people to feel seen and loved and hopeful. I wanted to write something sweet about people who loved each other, and I just... idk. I wanted to make people feel good.
I’ve struggled for pretty much my entire life with both mental and physical health (along with neurodivergency) and there have been times when it’s been very difficult to have the ability to love myself or feel hopeful or peaceful or happy. But the Muppets made me feel like there’s a sort of wistful, lonely beauty inside everyone that connects us, and we’re just reaching for that all the time. A lovely sort of potential, you know? That rainbow connection thing. And I wanted to tap into those feelings and make other people feel them, too.
And... idk, I guess that’s what I’m usually trying to achieve with my fic. I like writing things that are sweet and hopeful and loving, and idk. I just want to make people feel happy. I want to make people feel secondhand love and affection and joy. The world can be such a shitty, lonely place sometimes, and I just want to put something nice into it. Like. Just one nice thing. Small, but effective.
I can’t make my body work, I can’t make my brain be nice to me, I can’t solve all the troubles of the world. Back in 2014 when I wrote that fic, I couldn’t fix the injury that had pulled me out of the best academic opportunity I’d ever had. But... I could make one small nice thing, and I could make people a little bit happier. And that made me feel like I had some control over my situation, and I could improve the world I lived in. Just a bit.
idk man. Just thinkin’ tonight. About silly little fanfics and knowing I can write darkfic, I can write things that Mean Something, but getting so much more enjoyment out of writing things that ache in the best possible way.
idk. just wanna clear away the clouds and write a few rainbows of my own, I guess.

also I'm just absolutely confused as to why you'd want to read something where a person you're supposed to like hurts you

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.
as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."
NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

and every time i see emi/lia fox in some show i cannot help but wonder if the monster of a cousin she has is the family embarrassment or if he's just the only outspoken one out of a bunch who agree
