The fact that my brother gifted me 'Fleabag: the scriptures' and wrote this quote as inscription in the first page.
“And I don’t think anybody should feel bad if they get diagnosed with a mental illness, ’cause it’s just information about you that helps you to know how to take better care of yourself.
“Being bipolar, there’s nothing wrong with it. Being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. It might be embarrassing to tell people, and it might be hard to take you certain places. But they have arm floaties. And if you just take your arm floaties, you can go wherever the hell you want.
“And I know some of you are like, ‘But Taylor, what if people judge me for taking arm floaties?’ Well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe who cares? Maybe fuck those people a little. I don’t know.”
Taylor Tomlinson, Look At You (2022)
Last line tag!
Thanks a bunch for tagging me, @on-noon! :)
I‘ll be tagging @late-to-the-fandom, @bookish-galaxy, @houndsofcorduff and anyone else who wants to!
And now - the last line from Odyssey:
….
We still had time but it had turned out pretty fast that big cities were not only big but for the most part also very expensive with nothing big to do for students.
Thank you for the tag @saltysupercomputer !
I’m tagging @diaryofomellas (I’m pretty much just gonna always tag you in these until told otherwise 😅) @shipping-through-eternity @themaradaniels @leopardicuordimela
"The first rule of enchanting objects,” she chided. “You never leave the enchantment on longer than absolutely necessary. They start developing … personalities.” The Maw Walker pronounced the word like an epithet, and something clicked in Renathal’s brain.
Thank you for the tag @late-to-the-fandom !!
"But he was so thrilled to play, to bruise his knees or stumble on his own steps. He never got to do that. ‘What an intelligent child!’ is what the adults would say as he quietly sat at the table, watching as other children played on the yard. A grasp to his throat suffocated him. Suddenly there was no air."
writing can’t be that hard. all it is is just putting words in front of each other, right?
update: the wrong words are in front of each other. This is the worst thing ever to happen.

Thanks for the questions!
OC: William Olsen (he/him) from my wip 'by candlelight'
23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
At first he becomes resentful, because he feels that maybe he could have done something different to be in that person's position. though, ater a while he understands that whatever that person has, it has nothing to do with him.
G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?
Probably the fact that he is too caught up in his own world that often he forgets to check on people and he's also quite insensitive, reason why his story involves only creatures with little to no humanity.
6, 36, and A for your favourite character to write!
Thank you for the questions! :)
OC: William Olsen (he/him) from my wip 'by candlelight'
6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
He definitely considers them flexible. Though he's too self-conscious to break rules of any kind, those laws he considers ridiculous can at times push him to no longer follow the system.
36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?
I would say neither, because he doesn't seek romance. If someone were to throw hints at him, I doubt he would even be able to tell. He is just not interested in romance, partially because he doesn't understand it.
A) Why are you excited about this character?
Because out of all my other OCs he was the most difficult for me to understand. With him it was as if he already had a world of his own, and little by little I captured glimpses from those cracks that form over time when you bond with someone. It was new to me since I tend to build an OC starting from a vague idea, but with him and Biger it was different, that's why I decided to build their story along the way.

Quote from 'By candlelight'
'A strong desire arised within William, to touch and feel Earth on the palm of his hands. Though the more he dug with his fingers, the more his arms shivered. He found himself longing to get on with the monotonous routine not realizing it was over. Nonetheless he grasped the ground as firmly as he could till he felt if he let go he'd fall.'
Allow people to like you, to enjoy your company, to want to be your friend. Allow them to compliment you, allow others to think you're cool and funny even if you think you're not. It is not up to you to tell others how to feel, and remember that people might see the positive things in you and qualities that you have been failing to see while being too self-critical. Allow yourself to be liked by other people, even when you don't see why they should. Don't self-isolate because you think you are not good enough for other people.

My thoughts on grades
These past weeks I've been neglecting my WIPs mainly due to the insane amount of homework teachers are giving. It wouldn't bother me as much as it does if I knew the things I'm learning now will stick with me, but of course they won't. It's too much given all at once that I can barely remember what I studied last week. School should be about learning how to think for yourself, how to develop a more critical thinking. Instead they're teaching us that our self-worth is based off grades, which are established on what we can remember. This whole system is wrong because students will study for the grade they aspire to get and not to learn the material. Shouldn't school spark our curiosity?
Oh, what wouldn't I do to be part of the dead poets society...
L'infinito di Leopardi
«Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle, e questa siepe, che da tanta parte dell'ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude. Ma sedendo e mirando, interminati spazi di là da quella, e sovrumani silenzi, e profondissima quïete io nel pensier mi fingo, ove per poco il cor non si spaura. E come il vento odo stormir tra queste piante, io quello infinito silenzio a questa voce vo comparando: e mi sovvien l'eterno, e le morte stagioni, e la presente e viva, e il suon di lei. Così tra questa immensità s'annega il pensier mio: e il naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare.»
Excerpt from 'by candlelight'
'He had always been sure that his father seldom approved of his choices, or of him entirely, at least that’s what he felt in his mind to be true. Otherwise why else would his father never engage in a conversation with him? Maybe William was just not interesting enough. Unfortunately this destructive thought slithered in his conscience, resided within it till the end of times, and every time he had to speak he worried, doubted and feared, that at each of his word the other could draw further away from him, and he into himself.'
