When you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! :D Then if you'd like (absolutely no pressure), send the ask on. You never know who might benefit from spreading positivity! πΏ
Thank you for the ask! π
1) Autumn⦠I am SO glad it is here! (Sweater weather, crisp walks, colored leaves, pumpkin pie, snuggling under blankets, a good cup of chai⦠life is good)
2) Emotionally unavailable pixelated men who are soft for my MC, but not too many others. (Donβt worry, it doesnβt translate into real lifeβ¦ completely.)
3) Uptown Funk and Leave the Door Open. I find it physically impossible to be sad during those songs.
4) Abbott Elementary. Best show in a long, long time.
5) Writing. Forever writing.
Thanks so much for sending this, I needed it!

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)
I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).
Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.
So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.
I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.
I hope we will be dragons.
Extremely belated postscript that should have been here far earlier:
Free Palestine, Free Sudan, Free Congo π΅πΈπΈπ©π¨π©

everybodyβs always on writing prompts like βwhat if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their deathβ¦ but you met someone whose timer said infinity!β or βwhat if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their foreheadβ¦ but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!β Enough -
enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newbornβs timer reads nineteen years.
and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. Iβm interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends
