guidelines

this  account  is  meant  to  be  pretty  low  activity  and  plot - driven. i keep my following low, please do not take any offence if i don’t follow back. this is a hobby     . . .     so just don’t be a dick and we’ll be fine.

aisha  is  a    fandomless   original   character    of  my  creation.   there  may  be  mature  themes  present  so  i  ask  that  no  one  under  19  follow.   potentially  triggering  material  will  be  tagged,  if  i  miss  anything  or  you  need  something  specific  tagged  please  im  me

i  prefer  longer  threads  but  love  starting  off  with  one - liners  or  memes.   i  usually  try  my  best  to  send  everyone  i  follow  memes,   but  if  i’m  not  around,   feel  free  to  send  some  or  continue  them  as  threads  if  we’re  mutuals

i  love  plotting  dynamics  beforehand,   but  prefer  not  to  pre - plot  ships  without  knowing  if  there’s  any  chemistry.   on  the  other  hand,  if  we  have  interacted  and  you  think  there  is  potential,   there’s  a  good  chance  i  do  too  so  don’t  hesitate  to  reach  out  :eyes:   . . .   side   note   :   affiliated   ocs   or   verses   always   welcome !!

my  formatting  varies,  but  it’s  usually  nothing  too  fancy.   if  anything  is  hard  to read,   please  let  me  know  and  i  can  adjust  in  our  threads  accordingly.   don’t  feel  the  need  to  change  your  formatting  to  interact  or  match  the  length  of  my  replies.   i  go  from  absolutely  no  idea  what  to  write  to  word  vomit  in  0.2s  so  i  don’t  expect  anyone  to  keep  up  with  that

heyoooo  i’m  frankie,   i  prefer  she / her  pronouns  but  they / them  is  also  valid.   i’m  from  canada  and  i  currently  work  full - time  with  very  random  hours.   if  i’m  not  here,   i’m  probably  working  *sobs*  or  out  so  please  don’t  take   slow  replies  as  lack  of  interest   —   i  don’t  have  notifs  for  tumblr  on.   i  haven’t  written  on  here  in  a  little  under  a  year  so  please  excuse  the  adjustment  period  as  i  figure  things  out  again  :^)

MESSAGE   DECRYPTED   . . .   @jockclairs​​        :      “  i   thought   we   were   goners.  ”

the  night  brings  an  odd  sense  of  comfort.      shadows   cast  upon  their  surroundings,   dancing   with   each   passing   light,   it   felt   right.      felt   safe.     but   the   night   came   with   its   own   tribulations,   bitter   sting   of   cool   air   against   their   lungs   a   warning.      “  i   didn’t   think   you   ever   got   scared,   sinclair.  ”      a   smile   almost   settles   onto   wind - bitten   lips,   interrupted   by   heavy   breaths   as   she   attempts   to   recover   from   their   mad   getaway.      this   is   why   she   drove.      “  think   we’re   in   the   clear?  ”

[dr1fts]

WHAT   COLOR   DOES   YOUR   LOVE   FEEL   LIKE?      

warm   burnt   orange      :      riding off into the sunset,   the hope of a happy ending,   the bitter after taste that still in it's own way smells kinda great.      your love is all bitter hopefulness,    all about a broken heart that refuses to quit,    all about the unshakable knowledge that a burning fire has a great comforting warm and a soft glowing light,    all about the way when the sun comes down there's a beautiful starry night.      it's stubbornness,    it's the refusal to give up,    the clutching of broken shards despite the searing pain and being adamant that dammit you can still make a beautiful stained glass window out of it.      yours is a screaming heart, a pleading love, a bitter and almost belligerent hopefulness that things will still work out even if you have to roll up your sleeves and make them.      and  god,  aren't  you  tired?      ᶤˢᶰ'ᵗ ʸᵒᵘʳ ʰᵉᵃʳᵗ ʰᵉᵃᵛʸˀ     is all your hard work worth it?      don't you just want to curl up and let it be?      let the fire turn to ashes and the sky turn dark and let love die down and watch people leave?     . . .      but you don't, do you?      you're the bravest out of all of us, so you pick up the pieces and you keep going, you keep believing and you keep your heart full of hope because some day   . . .   some day you know you'll get it.      you keep riding off into the sunset and you keep filling my heart with hope as you go because god, how i wish you finally get it too.
