The stars are beautiful tonight. Too bad they’re all millions of years dead. You can also stalk me on Ao3, Twitter (xAlexiCollinsx), TikTok (xalexicollinsx) and QuoteV, where I deposit my brainchildren for the world to marvel at—or cringe, depending on the day.

A couple more for Adrienna. Here. Take 'em, you filthy mutts *she says seductively*

[alexicollins]

I have so many quotes I associate with different characters on my Pinterest and I'm two seconds into a mental breakdown away from posting all of them. Be warned. Here's just a few for Adrienna

[alexicollins]

A few images for each of Adrienna's personas/sides💕

[alexicollins]

I remade Operation Phoenix's cover forever ago and forgot to post it. Whoops, lol

[alexicollins]

Also, I always make a headcast for OCs because it's easier for me to write them, so here's my headcast for Operation Nexus/Phoenix:

[alexicollins]

I know not everyone has Quotev and most of my readers exist in the AO3 realm, so I wanted to post the covers of my fanfics on here:

Wrecked at Best

By Alexi Collins 2024/08/23

I've grown fond of this quiet, the way ivy clings

To the bones of this house, where no doves sing.

No echoes of wars, just the hum of the breeze,

And the cool, tender hands of the sycamore trees.

I’ve grown roots in this silence, where nothing blooms,

Let the emptiness wrap itself in my room.

But there’s an ache that sits in the marrow of stone,

A shadow that whispers, you are alone.

Some days, I think I could hold the sun,

Feel the warmth in my hands, let the healing be done.

But I bear the scars of being burnt before,

And I wonder if I’m meant to want nothing more.

I've kissed the mouth of ruin, tasted its breath,

Now I walk in the wake of it's beautiful death.

There’s comfort in knowing the wolves won’t bite,

When you’ve learned to love the cold of the night.

But now, new wildflowers bloom between these ribs,

And I feel the tremor in the earth that lives.

There’s a part of me that remembers the spring,

But it’s the winter’s song that I’ve learned to sing.

So if love comes for me, let it be like the rain

Soft as a whisper, free of the pain.

But I know the truth, carved deep in my chest:

To love again is to be wrecked at best.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

[alexicollins]

I stand in the shadows, watching as others dance in the spotlight of the life I dream of, but the music never reaches my ears, and the stage remains forever out of reach.

[pen-pain-poetry]

Oh, to be loved.

Oh, to be loved by painter, to be painted across blank canvas as if it’s the only things they have memorized.

Oh, to be loved by writer, getting all the memories weaved into best of the stories world has ever seen.

Oh, to be loved by sculptor, to have all the flaws sculpted as if the most mesmerizing of the muse. Oh, to be loved by photographer, to be compared to sunrises, and sunsets, and sky and put them into shame.

Oh, to be loved by the poet(ess), to be center of their universe, and being their best poem.

[freetowriteforme]

If I ever became a famous author, I would write silly fanfiction about my characters and not reveal that it’s me. See if people realize or not lol

I think the hot new trends for this summer should be reading comprehension and critical thinking skills

🎶Oops, I did it again🎶

Managed to turn a simple social gathering into a cringe-worthy nightmare that'll haunt my dreams for years.

Anyone up for a Freaky Friday body swap?
