Milo's Managerie

Minor for more on me @melancholic-milo Milo's alt blog purely for writing/literature purposes.

[milo-makes]

Rules, Runnings, Requirements

Hey Y'all it's Milo from over on @melancholic-milo and @gay-missionary-offical. This is my writing blog!! Words in general are a big passion of mine, I love poetry, stories, songs, etc etc. This blog is gonna be where I shove all that love and creativity! After the cut, you'll find the types of asks I accept, the fun things we can do here, and what I work with.

keep in mind I am below 18. I am a minor.

Also, here's the Masterlist (which is also at the end of this intro)

________________________________________________________________

Asks Rules:

Don't ask for anything NSFW+

I reserve the right to reject requests

Keep in mind, this is the internet. Strangers can see your words.

Remember that I'm an amateur and minor

________________________________________________________________

ASK ME FOR:

Headcanons

One-shot (again, not sure how confident I feel about these)

In-character conversation (IC or ICC w/ [insert character name]) (OC's only; it's part of how I get to know my characters)

Something from the Ask Game

________________________________________________________________

Fandoms I dabble in: Riordanverse The Marauders Harry Potter Fablehaven The Naturals The Avengers Lies my Memory Told me (Sacha Wunsch) Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children Keeper of the Lost Cities

(I am not confident in my fanfic writing skills, be warned) ________________________________________________________________

Meet the Gang!! (Main OCs from various unfinished stories that I haven't released here)

Constance A. Tracale - Connie, Anne, Sparky, Cece ⮱ Time-travelling lesbian... a little bit odd, with a poor memory, but she's nice enough.

Katherine E. M. Whittaker - Riri, Rina, Ace, Genius (sarcastic) ⮱A little mean, yeah, but she's clever. Hey, how else would she have struggled her way into being an amateur detective?

Elliot S. Ireye - Sunshine, Lio, Elio, Rapunzel, Sunny, Doc ⮱A tired son of Apollo, who has seen all of your bullshit ages ahead of your time. He's been dealing with the Stoll Brothers for ages, after all.

Devon J. Innes - Psycho, XIII, 13, Little Mori, Dev, Devvie, Dipshit ⮱He's... a little aggro. A little mean, honestly. Not a fan of people. But if you wanna try chatting with him... give it a go, I guess.

Scott E. Foster - Scotch, Scottie, Gayass, Ska, Scotland ⮱Just your local gay missionary! He's not seen anything weird... no...

Rysa T. Elowyn ⮱She's just an elf, really. Insists there's nothing much to herself. But... do we trust that?

Julianne M. E. Devereux - Jules, Julie, Julia, JD, Jay, Jester ⮱Run of the mill eldest daughter, filled with feminine rage, weird humor, odd skills, and an affinity for getting lost in fictional worlds

Caretaker Lines!!

✮ "Stop trying to act tough. You're shaking."

✮ "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

✮ "Hold still--I know it stings, but I have to do this."

✮ "You scared me half to death, you know that?"

✮ "I've got you. You don't have to hold yourself up anymore."

✮ "Just breathe. In and out. I'm right here."

✮ "You're going to need stitches and I swear, if you say you're fine one more time--"

✮ "Don't argue with me right now. Just let me help you."

✮ "I'm not going anywhere, so stop telling me to leave."

✮ "Can you squeeze my hand? I need to know you can hear me."

✮ "You're running a fever on top of everything else. Of course you are."

✮ "I found you on the floor. Do you understand how terrifying that was?"

[prophetic-writer]

When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

[briarwulf]

I laminated a paper towel

[sookybrat-deactivated20221020]

why does this have 31 thousand notes

[glitterorgy]

You made it useless but also prevented it from the end it was predestined for.

[heckyeah-horseshoecrabs]

But wait this is actually freaking me out though, it raises so many questions about the otherwise incomprehensible meaning of life as a collective whole versus personal sustenance and longevity

Imagine if one day you were given a choice: Become immortal and indestructible for eternity, unable to be harmed by anything ever again, and get to live forever.

However, in order to achieve that you must give up whatever your purpose in life is. Whatever it is that you were always meant to do, what you were supposed to contribute to the overall scheme and future of the life of the universe, your purpose… the whole reason you were even created, even born in the first place. You must give that up. You don’t know what that is. You’ll never know; But, regardless, you say yes.

Perhaps you assume you wouldn’t have made any sort of significant difference anyway. That butterfly effect theory or whatever they call it? Nah, you call bullshit. It doesn’t matter - you don’t matter, at least not to anything outside of your immediate connections - and it’ll all be fine, and you’ll just live forever with minimal (or maybe even no) consequences.

So, yay! You’re now immortal. You’ll never die or get hurt ever again. Wee!

But then, centuries and centuries later (not to mention that by this point you’ve gone through horrible heartbreak and misery and despair because every loved one you ever had, every friend you ever made, ever person you barely got to know, has passed away, died as you lived on long without them, helpless to do anything for them as you watched them perish, unable to ever go with them or ever see them again. But I digress), now, you learn you actually were important in the grand scheme of things. You were supposed to be a key factor in the world’s survival, long ago; but, because of the choice you made (immortality over individual purpose), you were never given the knowledge or awareness or resources or ability to save the world that you were always supposed to obtain, before you unknowingly made the wrongest choice to ever wrong.

Needless to say, you’ve fucked up big time.

The entire universe as we know it is destroyed soon after this horrifying revelation. It implodes, collapses in on itself, essentially forming a massive black hole or something. Stars, nebulae, galaxies, solar systems and planets, worlds and worlds of living people and things, and light-years of time and space and life, all sucked up into absolute, indefinite nothingness.

But you remain.

Just you. Floating amongst, spiraling around, rocketing through, suspended in… nothing. With a feeling of such unbelievable loneliness that your feeble brain can hardly perceive, can’t possibly hope to comprehend. Not only are you the only living thing left, you don’t even have one inanimate object to keep you company. You have literally. Nothing. And you are literally nowhere. I mean, technically, you are now the universe - if it would bring you petty comfort to think about it that way. You. Only you. With nothing, no one, nowhere. Forever. And ever. And ever.

All because you thought you didn’t matter. That you had no real, meaningful purpose. That you could never possibly make a difference.

But you did. And now look what you’ve gotten yourself into, you silly nugget. You’re gonna be pretty bored and lonely for that eternity, huh?

Or maybe it was out of selfishness. Maybe this wasn’t because you felt useless, but because you simply only cared about prolonging your own life and nothing else. Hm.

The moral here? Be selfless, and always know and remember that you matter.

Or else, one day, you might destroy the universe. And be left to suffer, and be tortured horribly and endlessly by the void of nothingness that has consumed you. With no way to escape. Ever.

Other moral because I got sidetracked from my initial point - all things considered, would you choose longevity over purpose? Immortality over meaning? 

OR, IDK, MAYBE SOME IDIOT JUST LAMINATED A STUPID PIECE OF PAPER TOWEL FOR NO GOOD REASON

AND MAYBE I SHOULDNT BE LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS TO THE MEANING OF OUR SHORT, FRAGILE LIVES IN

[luna-azzurra]

In biology they told us that the eye doesn't actually see everything in the room, it fills in most of it from memory and assumption. your brain is just confidently making stuff up about what's probably there and you believe it because you have no reason not to. and i thought that was just a vision fact but actually it's the most important thing i know about unreliable narrators. your character isn't lying. they genuinely see the room they expect to see. that's so much scarier.

[luna-azzurra]

Mirror neurons are the reason you cry at a funeral for someone you never met. your brain literally cannot tell the difference between watching grief and experiencing it, it just runs the program. and writers who understand this are playing an entirely different game. you don't describe the sadness. you put the reader in the body that feels it. the mirror neuron does the rest. you're not writing emotion. you're building a trigger for theirs.

[milo-makes]

when people ask my why I force myself to recall sad memories while writing sad moments:

[writingdose]

genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like

[milo-makes]

can confirm. was once told my work 'had to be ai' because it was too choppy

[writingblus]

i dont "go on walks," i dont "use character sheets" and i dont "plot before writing," i raw dog it, and if it doesnt flow, I FUCKING CRY.

[ariesrin]

The worst part about writing is that sometimes you actually have to write.

The best part about writing is also that sometimes you have to write.

I will not elaborate further.

[milo-makes]

yeah no we get it
