where is my mind?

So, now I shall talk every night. To myself. To the moon… I talk to myself and look at the dark trees, blessedly neutral. So much easier than facing people, than having to look happy, invulnerable, clever. With masks down, I walk, talking to the moon, to the neutral impersonal force that does not hear, but merely accepts my being. And does not smite me down. - Sylvia Plath ☾ madge | 18 | writer

greed and disgrace (listen)

shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death.

Napoleon Bonaparte’s flintlock pistol (via pyrrhosrepublic).  Since this was probably more a decorative item, it would be worth starting a comic/cartoon about Napoleon just so he could be depicted using it to own royalists and Austrians and the like. Talk about giving them a whiff of grapeshot.

I met Iggy Pop at Max’s Kansas City in 1970 or 1971. Me, Iggy, and Lou Reed at one table with absolutely nothing to say to each other, just looking at each other’s eye makeup.

damn now i want to make a werewolf...

JOHN DOE ✧ 17-19 ✧ REBEL INFLUENCE ✧ WEREWOLF ✧ LOVE INTEREST

he told me i was so small i told him, "water me"

✦ indigo is a very malleable girl and she's at the perfect age for a bit of molding. she's fifteen, the runt of the o'callaghan sisters, and she's reckless. but only because of a boy we shall call john doe for now.

✦ i don't have too much of this planned out, because i want to actually discuss this with someone and create something together. for now, all i know is that john weasels his way into her life and corrupts her. whether it's just for fun or if he has ulterior motives shall be discussed later. ulterior motives and plot twists are always exciting, though, so let's do this.

✦ everyone likes a bad-boy werewolf, like c'mon.

✦ also the "love interest" part will happen eventually. they don't have to be finals. i just want some freaking angst first.

✦ his family, origin, and name are completely open. the only thing set in stone is that he is a werewolf.

✦ the face is pretty much open. jester white is the model in the photo and him and flo had a shoot together. that's pretty much the only reason i used it. but he is super cute, so i don't care if you use him. he fits john doe quite well. other model choices: robbie wadge (omg), adrien sahores, yuri pleskun, sen mitsuji, matthew hitt (omg), adnan djinovic. honestly idgaf as long as his jawline can cut glass. also, idk if anyone has already claimed any of these faces, they are all just suggestions. this is a gr8 resource for models, too. i think you can tell which ones i would ~luv~ to have in the above list.

✦ but yeah hmu and discuss this with me. i'm open for anything, i just rly need this in my life.

What's on your writing playlist?

Music is a pretty important part of writing for us. It can make, or even break, a mood.
