"I like you” ok so where are my love letters????

[arylleth]

"i like you."—so slight a phrase, as if affection could be whispered into existence without ink to root it in time. "i like you."—but where are my love letters? where are the sonnets pressed between trembling hands, the confessions inked in the hush of midnight, the poetry born of longing and the weight of waiting?

have we become so afraid of romance that we no longer carve our love into paper, no longer press words like petals between pages? is love now a fleeting thing, spoken superficially only for loneliness into the air only to vanish like breath against cold glass? i think of john keats, who, drowning in love, wrote to fanny brawne, "i cannot exist without you— i am forgetful of everything but seeing you again—my life seems to stop there— i see no further." that was love given form, love bound in ink, love made eternal. here I stand, handed only a whisper.

plato mused that love is the longing for our lost halves, the search for the missing part of our soul. if that is true, then should love not be adorned with words, with letters sent across the distance between two hearts, bridges built of longing and ink? should i not have, in my hands, the tangible weight of your affection— words scrawled in the margins of ordinary days, folded notes slipped between books, the hush of your soul unfurling in lines meant only for me?

i don't ask for love in grand declarations, nor for affection in the currency of extravagance. i ask only for words, for love given permanence, for a sentence in your handwriting that I can carry like a talisman, proof that for one moment, i was not merely liked, but known, cherished, thought, remembered.

so tell me—if you truly like me, if your heart stirs even the smallest fraction in my direction— where are my love letters?

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

[bitchfitch]

other things I'm bitching about but which could still be useful as writing advice for 1 eyed characters:

2. they're going to favor their sighted side, obviously, but it doesn't always manifest in the way you think. when I walk down a hall I walk much closer to the wall on my sighted side than on my blind side. which is the opposite of how it might seem logical to do that bc it means the world at large is on your bad side, but the reason is I can't fucking See the wall if it's right next to me in the blind side and I end up knocking into it.

3. door frames and poles are my enemy. If your character is smart this will not be a problem but for me it is. I am King of walking into shit I could absolutely see but couldn't tell how far away from me it was. on this note, their blind side hand is getting bashed into every jutting out thing in a 5 mile radius.

4. having 0 depth perception is less of a big deal than you'd think it is. Especially with driving. I've become a Much safer and more wary driver because I can't tell how far the other cars are from me. however I fucking suck at parking now. because I can't tell how far the lines are from me either.

5. you know how people who lose limbs get phantom pains? that happens with eyes too but like. phantom sights. for me it's like. a lot of bugs. like every so often my brain will just put something suddenly skittering beside me there. hate that.

6. it is completely possible to "get stuck" somewhere because your ability to tell how wide a space is is just Gone. shopping isles especially where bumping something or Someone is matter of embarrassment or potentially breaking something. it can be legitimately paralyzing and also irritate everyone around you because they can tell there is Plenty of space for you to get your cart through even if you can't.

7. if the eye is still in their skull it can still be the normal kind of painful. Glares off of shiny surfaces causing weird sharp pains you can't figure out the cause of are genuinely one of gods greatest tests of my patience.

I too am missing my eye and have advice. But first:

OP I've been missing my eye for 18 years and because of you I'm just now noticing that my neck does in fact list left. Now I will live with that knowledge forever.

1) depth perception issues are more severe if you lose the eye on the same side as your dominant hand. I lost my left eye and am right handed, and only have problems with close-up things. Like pouring water or threading a needle. Sometimes putting the pump in for gas. Walking down stairs is a huge problem I have (walking up is fine), but unlike OP I don't have issues with doorways. Depth perception is different for everyone

2) I've completely lost my eye and need to wear eye patches, no fake eye here. People like me do still rub their "eyes." We also usually say "eyes" and "contacts." Except for comedic effect

3) the people that are in your life with regularity just... forget you have only one eye. Even if, like me, you wear obvious eye patches. This means they get confused when people asked what happened. They'll walk on your blind side and get snippy when you run into them. When my sister learned how to cross her eyes she ask me if I could do it, and it took so much coaching for her understand why my answer was no, and that I would not be "just trying." So don't write everyone around them constantly noticing. Most people don't

[solahifuefos]

Also in the blind/missing an eye club for the past 5 years. I was cross dominant, as in right handed but my left eye was my main looking eye, and i lost that one.

Little experiences 1) In my daily life I've gotten so used to wearing an eyepatch (its part of my glasses) that when people ask what happened it trips me up because I forgor that it's a thing until it causes issues 2) Cashiers who try to hand me the items I bought/the receipt is the bane of my life, pleaaaaase just put them on a surface and not embarrass me because I can't tell where in 3d space your hand is and I miss grabbing stuff 3) If I'm walking with someone and they end up on my blind side, and don't get why I want them on the side I can see them on?? 4) BUSHES AND TREES when I'm walking and at last second I realise I'm walking into a plant and flinch hard when I finally see there's a thing in my face 4.5) Also poles and doorframes suck 5) I've gotten really bad at judging the width of spaces, which because anxiety I go on the side of caution, and asking people to move so I can get past, when to them they can tell there's enough space, is really embarrassing. 6) I think my night vision is a lot worse? Having only one eye so you get half the light, so walking in the dark is really tricky. But maybe I had bad night vision before and didn't notice. 7) Trying to play any game where you need to catch something, I just get hit in the face. but I'm still very good at throwing somehow. 8) When I'm cycling and need to check stuff on my blind side/behind me on that side, it's really hard to turn my head that much whilst balancing the bike im riding, and have crashed at least twice because of this.

what a great cast

[gremlintheodd]

My favorite headcanon in the WuWa fandom is that you can just sedate and/or knock unconscious someone whos in danger of overclocking. Oh Mortefi is about to explode and die? *BONK* now he’s not. :)

[ghostwriterofthemachine]

it’s almost midnight but i am here on Tumblr Dot Com to let everyone know that a fantastic and underused trope is “uses terms of endearment only when under huge amounts of stress.”

Like some character is fairly formal or is just not a pet names person but then they get a panicked phone call from a loved one and the first words out of their mouth are “Sweetheart, what happened?” 

Team “I-only-ever-use-your-first-name” going “Oh, jesus fuck, love, I’m so glad you’re safe” or “Okay, darling, you know I love you but I need some space to fix this giant mess” and everyone around them is like “oh god we have reached Pet Names Level Bad, that’s not good” 

this is the new trope I am championing, I would like it to be the Hot New Thing

Thanks a lot to the people who liked my previous post it was very encouraging ^^

[aeriedwelling]

characters who aren’t necessarily clinging to each other 24/7 but instead you see one just hanging out and you know for a fact that the other is Around Somewhere. Never one without the other they’re a set sorry
