INTRO POST!
Heyyyyy, I’m MJ! My main blog can be found right here: @mjthesilly (you can use this as proof that I’m not a bot 😞) and here is my Ao3 account: https://archiveofourown.org/users/MJwritesthings/profile
This is my writing side blog, so the only things I’ll be posting here are promotional material for my fics, edits, and maybe art, if I get gutsy enough.
that’s all! ✌️
the dynamic between two people who love a third person so much and come to understand each other because of that is so important to me. you would put them first, and so would i. you understand why we have to save them from themself. i trust you with their life, and so, that means more than if i trusted you with mine. the love doesn't have to be the same, but it's powerful enough that you understand why you're not the only satellite drawn into their orbit.
Reverse Tropes to Try!
01. One bed ➳ Two beds
Characters finding themselves crowded with two beds, but they're looking for absurd excuses to share one bed.
02. Enemies to lovers ➳ Lovers to enemies
How a couple goes from starstruck lovers to enemies at each other's throats.
03. Fake dating ➳ Fake break up
Characters fake their breakup in public due to their circumstances, and now they're back to secretly dating while the public thinks they are split up.
04. Their partner getting kidnapped by evildoers ➳ Their partner kidnapping evildoers
Their partner is stressing out the main character by recklessly kidnapping evildoers to teach them a lesson. They are panicking between covering their traces and applauding (and ogling at) their partner for being so badass.
05. Breaking up to protect their partner ➳ Dating to protect their partner
They start dating for protection due to their circumstances and eventually fall in love with each other.
06. Getting paired up for spinning bottle ➳ Not getting paired for spinning bottle
Both of them are trying hard to land their turn on each other, but their luck is awful. (They play all night while everyone else is passed out drunk, leaving only two of them still up).
07. Seven minutes in heaven ➳ Seven minutes in hell
The friend group splits up this lovey-dovey couple. In this opposite game, they are not allowed to see each other for the specified time period (and they are clearly dying to be all over each other again).
08. Intact memories to amnesia ➳ Amnesia to intact memories
The story starts off with a character having amnesia, and readers find out their background as the character regains their memories throughout the story.
09. Parents disapproving their relationship ➳ Parents are playing matchmakers, but they disapprove of each other
Both of their parents play cupid to get them together, but the characters hate each other's guts (and warm up to each other eventually).
10. Comforting their partner from a nightmare ➳ Sharing a funny dream they had with their partner
The character wakes up from the most absurd fever dream. They wake up their partner to tell them this hilarious dream.

Heartbroken Dialogue Prompts
“Can you still love me?”
“Don't act like you haven't been looking for an excuse to leave me.”
“You’re my biggest regret.”
“You don’t get to call me that anymore.”
“Don’t. Don’t you dare try to blame anyone but yourself for this. You made your choices.”
“Don't you get it? I love y–” “It doesn't matter! I love you too, but I can't trust you! Don't you get that?”
“Don’t act like you were a saint.”
“I didn’t think it was going to hurt this much.”
“You must truly hate me if you’re willing to hurt me in this way.”
“I miss you.” “What? You left me!”
“I'm not crying because I'm sad, I'm crying because I'm furious!”
“I was a fool to think you'd ever change.”
“They make me feel good. And it made me realise… you don't make me happy anymore.”
“Was this ever real?” “Don't do this to yourself. You know the answer to that.”
“I miss you! My heart is being torn apart every single day we are apart, but I would never take you back.”
“You're blaming them for our breakup? It was you who ruined this!”
“You still love them, don't you?” “I'm sorry.”
“I'm done. I can't keep doing this. I can't fight when you clearly don't care enough to do the same.”

“I miss when you looked at me the way you look at them now.”
Found Family Soft Angst / Angsty Softness

“Shut up. We're family, your insecurities are stupid if they are telling you any different.”
“You're not gonna be getting rid of me now.”
“Remember, when you're ready to talk, I'm here.”
“What's that… Don't tell me those kids were messing with you again.”
“Who said that? Only I get to tease you about that!”
“I've never had a place to call my own before.”
“There you are! Do not do that again, I was fucking worried about you!”
“I put you down as my emergency contact, is that okay?”
Fiercely Protective Dialogue
“Do you really think a mere prophecy would stop me from saving you?”
whispering “Are you okay?” in a crowded place
“I don’t need you to coddle me.” “No, you don’t. But I need to protect you, you understand?”
“If only they knew what I would do to keep you safe. Maybe they’d behave then.”
“I’ll follow you to the bitter end. And beyond.”
“You’re gonna get killed protecting me.” “Gladly.”
“Don’t apologize, not to me. Never to me.”
“I haven’t felt unsafe once since meeting you.”
“Rather me than you.”
“I wasn’t kidding when I said I’d kill for you, you know?” “I’m starting to get that.”
“It’s gonna take a lot more than that to stop me from keeping you safe.”
“I will shield your body with mine any day of the week.”
“May I ask for a favor? When I tell you to run… Run. Don't look back.”
“Why are you so determined to keep me alive?” “You know why.”
“Do you want me to kill them?”
“Your protection is not my duty, but my destiny.”
“One word, and they’re gone.” “Not yet.”
high-tension romantic scenarios to get lost in
fixing each other's collar/zipper/tie/etc - getting unexpectedly close, breath catching when they realize (or their light touches burning into the other's skin)
^ also moving someone's hair out of their face/behind their ear
^ or touching someone's necklace/bracelet/watch
eye contact in a crowded room, but not exchanging any words/expressions - just looking at each other, the rest of the world going still.
^a(n unironic) wink in this situation. or an eyebrow raise, lick or bite of lips, or head tilt. there's something in the subtlety of it - like "this is between us"
pulling someone in by their belt loops??? this is so random idk
feeling the other's breath/lips ghosting their neck
any sort of whisper. anywhere. goddamn.
a long pause when someone is speaking, as though they lost their train of thought while looking at the other person
their bodies accidentally pressed together - being stuck in a small space, falling onto one another, or having to sit really close together. the pause when it's realized.
^this but they're hiding
"make me"
"i dare you"
"and if i do?"/"what will i get (if i do)?" "show/tell me what you want"
the pinky reach before holding hands for the first time
slow dancing (the hand placement, eye contact, proximity, MUSIC)
teaching the other something that involves physical contact (like holding their hands while trying to balance on a skateboard, or guiding their hands somewhere)
eye contact, waiting for one to fold
"don't do that to me" (tempting the other)
sharing earbuds - forced proximity, the vulnerability in sharing things that matter to them
i'm back!! i'm in a huge slump rn, so submit to my "ask" box if there is anything you want to see :) alsoo if you have anything to add to this list, reply to the post!! i love hearing what you guys have to say
The youngest.
Chapter 6 of ‘Dream About Me’ out now!
Nanami was starting to resent how pretty this boy was. It was irritating.
It was also certainly resentment when he reached forward apprehensively, like he was disarming a bomb, and brushed the white hair clinging to Satoru's cheek away.

How to Make Your Characters Almost Cry
Tears are powerful, but do you know what's more impactful? The struggle to hold them back. This post is for all your hard-hearted stoic characters who'd never shed a tear before another, and aims to help you make them breakdown realistically.
The Physical Signs of Holding Back Tears
Heavy Eyelids, Heavy Heart Your character's eyelids feel weighted, as if the tears themselves are dragging them down. Their vision blurs—not quite enough to spill over, but enough to remind them of the dam threatening to break.
The Involuntary Sniffle They sniffle, not because their nose is running, but because their body is desperately trying to regulate itself, to suppress the wave of emotion threatening to take over.
Burning Eyes Their eyes sting from the effort of restraint, from the battle between pride and vulnerability. If they try too hard to hold back, the whites of their eyes start turning red, a telltale sign of the tears they've refused to let go.
The Trembling Lips Like a child struggling not to cry, their lips quiver. The shame of it fuels their determination to stay composed, leading them to clench their fists, grip their sleeves, or dig their nails into the nearest surface—anything to regain control.
The Fear of Blinking Closing their eyes means surrender. The second their lashes meet, the memories, the pain, the heartbreak will surge forward, and the tears will follow. So they force themselves to keep staring—at the floor, at a blank wall, at anything that won’t remind them of why they’re breaking.
The Coping Mechanisms: Pretending It’s Fine
A Steady Gaze & A Deep Breath To mask the turmoil, they focus on a neutral object, inhale slowly, and steel themselves. If they can get through this one breath, they can get through the next.
Turning Away to Swipe at Their Eyes When they do need to wipe their eyes, they do it quickly, casually, as if brushing off a speck of dust rather than wiping away the proof of their emotions.
Masking the Pain with a Different Emotion Anger, sarcasm, even laughter—any strong emotion can serve as a shield. A snappy response, a bitter chuckle, a sharp inhale—each is a carefully chosen defence against vulnerability.
Why This Matters
Letting your character fight their tears instead of immediately breaking down makes the scene hit harder. It shows their internal struggle, their resistance, and their need to stay composed even when they’re crumbling.
This is written based off of personal experience as someone who goes through this cycle a lot (emotional vulnerability who?) and some inspo from other books/articles

Quick tips for writing Sleep Deprivation
☽ Memory becomes absolute garbage. Like “why am I in the kitchen?” garbage. “What was I saying?” garbage. Their brain is running on buffering screens and regret.
☽ Fine motor skills? Ha. They’re dropping everything. Pens. Phones. Entire moral compass. They’re basically a malfunctioning claw machine.
☽ Hallucinations creep in. That jacket on the chair? Suddenly a person. That noise? Definitely doom. Everything becomes mildly haunted.
☽ Time gets weird. Five minutes feel like a year. A full hour disappears and they swear they blinked wrong.
☽ Irritation skyrockets. They get mad at chairs. At air. At gravity. At the audacity of other humans continuing to exist.
☽ Their voice sounds weird. Slow, scratchy, like they swallowed sand.
☽ They walk like a drunk baby giraffe. Walls suddenly jump closer. Floors rise unexpectedly. Coordination said: “I’m out.”
☽ Zoning out becomes a hobby. They stare at random objects like they’re trying to understand quantum mechanics.
☽ Vision blurs in and out. Like someone smeared Vaseline over their eyeballs out of spite.
☽ Their body just hurts. Not a dramatic pain, just the “why does my skeleton feel like it’s buzzing?” pain.
☽ Food cravings go feral. They’d fight someone for a stale cookie.
☽ Terrible choices. They will absolutely say “I’m fine” while making decisions that end in disaster.
☽ Random emotional implosions. Crying because their sock feels wrong? Yes.
☽ Cold hands. Cold feet. Cold heart. (Okay maybe not the last one, but it feels like it.)
Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen Relationship: Nanami Kento/Gojo Satoru AU: royalty Summary: A look at Gojo's life from early childhood into adulthood, where hazel eyes and golden hair, and a stern yet kind guiding hand walk side-by-side with him while he navigates the weight of expectations his role and powers suppose.
And here's part two of my entries for NanaBinGo 2025, organized by @nanagocalendar!
This one is a bit odd, at least when compared to my other works, I think, but I had fun with it (even if it fought me tooth and nail in the beginning…). It's all from Gojo's POV, which is not my usual MO but I like letting him take the reins now and then, and he likes to talk, so win-win.
That's it for now! I'll try to finish a third story before the posting period ends, but we'll see, as I have 2 other exchanges to work on this holiday season.
LOVE.
Hello! I was wondering if you could provide us with the link to the Nanabingo 2025 Ao3 collection, please? I've been unable to find it 😅 Thank you so much!
Hi there, we forgot to update it here! So sorry.
If you're posting on AO3, our event's AO3 collection is now available to add to! You can search it up with: "NanaBinGo 2025", and see the collection here: archiveofourown.org/collections/NanaBinGo25
