Heya!

Thanks to the lovely Shuri ( @maiden-born-in-snow , follow her, she’s amazing), I was informed that my Tumblr might have been compromised? This includes both this blog and my other blog, @ffxiv-ariavitali .

Please know that I’ve taken down the Ray Ban post because I did NOT make that post and I’m sorry to anyone that was tagged in it.

If anyone received a DM regarding anything from me recently, please know it WAS NOT me and to please disregard it. I have changed my password and I’ll be monitoring my Tumblr closely to see if any issues happen within the next week.

(I’ve been ghosting Tumblr and honestly most of my socials for the last three months cause of work and my heightened depression & anxiety BECAUSE of work. I have made a couple personal posts that I was tagged in and shorts on my other blog but that’s about it.)

Thanks for your understanding, everyone ❤️

—Aria V.

It was there she found it,

Small as a gem,

The missing piece of hope that remained.

But he knew that, so as long as it exists, it can grow

Like a seed to be sown

And he will watch her reap the rewards.

oh linger, my love. come here and sit in the archway of my heart. we will curl together, and we will nest in this bed, and i will love you so widely that you will never speak another word without feeling my name on your lips. i will ache with you in every second, until your breathing is the echo of my ribs. we will share the showers and the sunrises and the setting wind. no need to go to work today, you are so tired and i yearn for your skin. steady here, and stay with me through winter. call up your wrists so i can kiss them. call up your writing, your art, your everything. i will devour it. slow down, my dear, let the world pass as we sit. give me your life, my light and my darling - give up, and i’ll take it.

“Those disgraceful girls…upsetting Lady Illya in such a way.”

“You are quite fond of her, aren’t you, little princess?”

“I am.”

“What would you wish to do?”

“…Ted Illatai dakhin muu yarikhaasaa ömnö ted khoyor udaa bodokhyg bi khüsch baina.“

“Tany khüsseneer günj.”

——

another part to @whitherliliesbloom‘s butler AU, where the normally gentle foreign student, Shuri, shows a cruel side to Illya’s bullies.

Translation:

“I want them to think twice before ever speaking badly to Illya again.”

“As you wish, princess.”

If you write a strong character, let them fail.

If you write a selfless hero, let them get mad at people.

If you write a cold-heated villain, let them cry.

If you write a brokenhearted victim, let them smile again.

If you write a bold leader, let them seek guidance.

If you write a confident genius, let them be wrong, or get stumped once in a while.

If you write a fighter or a warrior, let them lose a battle, but let them win the war.

If you write a character who loses everything, let them find something.

If you write a reluctant hero, give them a reason to join the fight.

If you write a gentle-hearted character who never stops smiling, let that smile fade and tears fall in shadows.

If you write a no one, make them a someone.

If you write a sibling, let them fight and bicker, but know that at the end of the day they’ll always have each other’s back.

If you write a character, make them more than just a character; give them depth, give them flaws and secrets, and give them life.

Hey guys! As a writer myself, it’s hard to have a lot of resources for writing in one place. That’s why I decided to create this masterpost, and maybe make more if I find future resources. I hope you like it, and expect to see more masterposts like this in the future!

“if ever you were in the vicinity of a loner, you might believe there is tranquillity in solitude, but if ever you were a loner, you know solitude is an escape from the pandemonium in a world that never could hear you screaming.”
