i don't get angry when i'm pissed; i'm the eternal optimist.
+ em-dashes — so many em-dashes
+ repetition, repetition, repetition. it's something i think i picked up from writing a lot of poetry for a few years
+ googling synonyms of longer words i've used in the same post. searching for variety, baby
+ italics oh my god i use so much italics
+ sometimes i pre-write quotes, dialogue, or sentences i'd want my characters to say / think / act out later down the line, even if there's no tthread, interaction, scene, etc. that can lead to it yet. i keep it pocketed for the Right Time(TM)
+ spaces between the parenthesis, with italics ( like so )
+ just a,,,, hilarious lot of directing language / tricks translated into writing LOL. i blame dm-ing and scriptwriting



coming soon.

I’m one of the younger people in my department, and the majority of the people I work with are moms and grandmothers and frankly the concept of trying to explain rp to them is….I wanna die LMAO

my closest friend at work talked to me about their ocs, which lead to me telling them about mine, and them asking me if they can read the thread summary outlines ive made for the two characters i have the most authorial feelings about. let them do so and ngl, hearing the reactions of someone who isnt in the rp setting and their thoughts about it and literary analysis on it just rlly, like, makes me feel proud? about my work? aaaaaaaa

there is smth deeply funny to me about my dm daring me to make myself in a tabletop game about small town japanese horror stories, and me taking that bet and making my character sheet of Myself in an ipad notes app. in the passenger's seat of a carpool. while stuck in traffic.

genuinely the funniest and most cursed chargen creation process we've done in awhile

double-posting but who says writing isn’t therapeutic


At the sound of the stranger’s voice, Thian thinks he’s actually fucking gone and done it: taken the last step before falling completely into madness and delusion, YA angst of the supernatural variety, the pathetic kind of mourning that just suggests an idiot in desperate need of therapy can’t fucking get their shit together and move past grief, loss, five stages but stuck at the second phase.

He’s always stuck at the second phase.

Someone has to go, someone has enough, something runs out. Someone fucking dies—

it's always rlly fulfilling to realize and universe brain a theme / vibe / narrative idea you wanna tackle for a character you've been stuck on for for way too many months, especially when you can tie it into other site plots. like goodness.



coming soon.
