big fan of when a character is dead and the narrative frames them in a very angelic, soft, gentle manner but then it turns out not only are they still alive (plot twist) but theyre alive in the most gruesome and horrific way. your loving kind mentor who motivates you to fight in their memory came back wrong and theres blood and dirt under their fingernails from clawing they way out of the grave.

Danny Motta thirsting over horses was not on my bingo card

Reading a 900 book page of poetry so I can better write DnD dialogue for my NPC’s and speeches in my campaign.

Thriftbooks is amazing and I somehow both save so much money on books and waste so much money on books

[jellyfishbookblog]

My temporary title for my novel is “Mending Death with aspirin and Spite”

Quotes that have inspired my writing today:

“ont make people into heroes john, if heroes don’t exist and if they did, I wouldn’t be one of them

-sherlok

“Sometimes you think you want to disappear but all you really want is to be found”

A lot of people hate when they are asked, are you ok? Because really they aren't but they don’t want to get into it. They hate having to say I’m ok all the time and any other response would gauge a reaction they didn’t want.

I could have built pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling on to life and reasons - franz kafka

I swing between empathy and anger. Empathy because I know you are in pain. Anger because i am in pain too, but I never use it as an excuse to hurt others

I am not very good at telling people how I feel. I can’t explain my feelings so I keep them to myself

I find it very manipulative that our angry side is always seen as our “true colors” as if when I am happy and being kind; I'm being fake. All the good that we are and we’re just reduced to out angry days or episodes?

An error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it

Fighting evil doesn’t make you good - earnest Hemingway

Friends, enemies, and those still under review

Ironically, when we start to get better, we also often get sad—because we start to realize how much we have missed out on, how badly certain people failed us, what our younger version of us actually deserved. Healing involves healthy grieving. No way around it.

Taking your own life. Interesting expression, taking it from who? Once it is over, it is not you who’ll miss it. Your own death is something that happens to everyone else. Your life is not your own, keep your hands off it. - Sherlock holmes

Your children don't owe you anything. Not your good grades. Not your good moods. Not nights without waking up. Not eating every bite. Not loving every activity. Not “yes.” Your child doesn’t owe you anything because you are an adult.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just have to find the ones worth suffering for - bob marley

How many times can the same thing break your heart? As long as you love it.

I feel like I was made to understand but not to be understood

She wasn’t fragile like a flower—she was fragile like a bomb

The devil will tell you nine truths so that you will believe one lie

There comes a point where you no longer care if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You are just sick of the damn tunnel.

Even when there wasn’t a single soul around except hers, her thoughts were too messy and her body too constricting—she was alone, and yet all she wanted was to escape - me

I think it is so cool that you don’t cry over anything. I cry over everything… even the little stuff. You just had the worst thing happen to you and you aren’t crying at all. You aren’t even… moving…

Do you ever feel like you’re going insane

Most of my life i have had madness, but it has only ever been inside

To burn the witch is to admit that magic exists - Erin Anastasia

More evil gets done in the name of righteousness than any other way

Glen Cook

Part of what makes a tragedy tragic is the story of being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside. If they had done things differently they could have been happy, but to do things differently would require them to be someone else.

Pinterest: I’m a bad person who thinks bad thoughts like ‘ew what is that girl wearing’ and then remembering that I am supposed to be positive about all things and then think ‘no she can wear what she wans, fuck what other people say damn girl you look fabulous’ and im just a teeny bit hypocritical tbh

I was always taught by my mother that the first thought that goes through your head is what you have been conditioned to think. What you think next defines who you are.

The point of lids is to be so wildly passionate that people can’t decide if you’re crazy or a genius

Do you ever feel like you were born missing the crucial spark that makes a person a person and have thus spent your whole life trying to act human by fulfilling other people’s ideas of how a person should be?

I just heard someone say “just because you love me doesn’t mean I feel loved by you”

Before I am your daughter your sister, your aunt, your niece or cousin, I am my own person, and I will not set myself on fire to keep you warm

I hope my last breath is a sigh of relief”

I fucking love writing unreliable narrators

[jellyfishbookblog]

I love that i am able to post privately because it helps me save so much writing practice for my characters without the anxiety of having it out there

[jellyfishbookblog]

When I was younger I would read “her/his heart felt heavy” and i was like right, right, metaphorically, sure

but then when I got older i was like ohhh

Is this skin even mine?

If I throw up will

Wires come out?

Or will the stuffing

from a kids toy?

One stitch, two stitch,

three stitch.

I think I am being puppeted.

I go through the

everyday motions

But everything feels like

its not me doing it?

I am on the back burner and

sometimes I can’t hear my own thoughts.

Am I just as bad as my puppeteer

if it is I who keeps stitching my arms and hands back together?

Before they all see

what’s underneath?

Before I see

everything underneath?

One stitch, two stitch,

three stitch.
