"How's the book going?"

"It's going so fast. Basically running away from me. Oh, no, it's escaping!"

[spankerella]

I think we all should.

You should pray to ME instead

(sorry for another simple sketch, I swear I'm working on something better, but my pain is back and is slowing my drawing process. I hope you guys still like my sketches tho ^^)

[caffeine-and-computers]

this is making me want to write a much more fucked up fanfiction than the one I'm currently writing and that's saying something

[this-is-me-trying-girlie]

okey we just got another sneak peek on Victorious

VICTOR. SMOKING. A. JOINT.

"IN HERE, WITH THEM, THINGS FELT SAFER" VICTORIA HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME

Angie deserved better than both of them

Victor Vale, do you actually want to kill Eli Ever? Or do you just want to be at the forefront of his mind again as you twist the knife into his stomach? Do you actually want him dead or do you just want him to pray to you like he prays to god?

The villain who knows too much!!

𖤐 "I know what you did before you became the hero of this little story. Do you want me to tell them or will you?"

𖤐 "You're not here because you're righteous. You're here because it's personal. Admit that and we can have a real conversation."

𖤐 "You think I'm the monster. That's adorable. I think you're the monster who found better lighting."

𖤐 "I've read every file on you. Every decision. Every casualty you called acceptable. Don't lecture me about lines."

𖤐 "The difference between us is that I know exactly what I am. You're still telling yourself a story."

𖤐 "You could have stopped this three moves ago. You didn't. Ask yourself why."

𖤐 "Go ahead. Arrest me. Lock me up. Nothing I built dies with me and you know it."

𖤐 "I watched you make the same choice I made. The only difference is who was watching."

𖤐 "You keep saving people. I keep asking why those people and not the others. Neither of us has a good answer."

𖤐 "You want to know the worst part? You understand me. Completely. And that terrifies you more than anything I've done."

𖤐 "Every villain you've ever stopped had a reason. You never stayed long enough to hear mine."

𖤐 "I used to believe in the same things you do. Then I watched what happened to the people who believed in them."

𖤐 "You're very good at the heroics. You're less good at what comes after. That's where I live. The after."

𖤐 "Do you ever wonder if you'd have ended up here if someone had just listened earlier? Because I do. About both of us."

The Vales "raising" Victor to be an absolute menace and then unleashing him upon the world was actually a marketing strategy to sell more of their shitty self help books to people whose lives Victor has ruined

“you cannot ship these two fictional characters because—” actually I can because they are not real people. they are just toys I play with. you cannot apply real-world morality to fiction or how strangers play with their imaginary toys in their imaginary sandboxes.

you can, however, curate your own internet experience by minding your own business, muting/blocking/scrolling past what upsets you but does not hurt anyone in real life in any way, shape or form.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

“ship whatever you want except xyz. there is a limit” so you miss the entire point of what I just said 👌🏻

there is, in fact, no limit. I may be uncomfortable with it, I may even find it unpleasant/disturbing, but my personal feelings are not rules that can be applied to other people, and they absolutely do not justify shaming or harassing other people.

Details That Instantly Deepen a Setting

Instead of trying to fill paragraphs describing everything, choose one or two things that breathe.

• The way the floorboards creak in one specific spot • A stain on the ceiling no one acknowledges • A flickering light that makes gives everyone a slight headache • The smell of something burnt and forgotten • A crooked family photo • Dust in the sunlight • A cracked mug someone refuses to throw away • The hum of an appliance in silence • A chair that wobbles • A window that should open, but doesn't • Shoes lined up too neatly • A plant flourishing, or showing signs of obvious neglect • The sound of neighbors arguing • A clock that’s slightly off

Specificity creates immersion, not necessarily paragraphs. One good detail can carry a scene.
