"and then they kiss... sloppy style" hmmm but it doesn’t sound as good as gabriel garcia marquez does it?

I think u should start writing your original story btw. I want to read it.

[canonkiller]

addition: I understand wanting to wait until things feel Right to write. but as someone who also contends with adhd and The Situations there is not going to be a time where it magically feels perfect to write. "I'll do it someday / later / when..." is an endless delay. you've gotta crack open a document and write something even if it sucks ass because if you don't get your brain used to the habit it's not gonna stick. the time you can start is Now.

Love it when one character is an obvious freak about their companion, and the other is more subtle, and then there's a moment in the story where everyone gets to confirm/discover/realize/etc that oh no it's mutual.

Character notes for that old 3rd life timey-wimey au that I dont have a name for (update: love for the ages!) based on that one post. A lot of queer themes.

Grian: London, 1893; an architect that stays closed up in his studio working. He is gay, and considering the era he lives in, he is ashamed and afriad of anyone finding out. Reserved, snappy, and a bit of a bastard underneath. He just wants to be accepted, but never believes it can happen.

Scar: California, 1987; former action super star. He's struggling to find work because he is a vocal advocate for gay rights during the aids crisis. Optimistic, stubborn, and unwilling to pretend to be something he is not. He leaps without looking and seizes the moment when it comes. He's an incurable romantic <3

Jimmy: England, 1940; soldier, just drafted to join the war effort. He's not a fighter and is afraid of war; he doesn't think he will make it back. Brave (or foolhearty, depending on who you ask), sensitive, and loyal. He is a young romantic who dreamed of a great love and a family, but he is resigned to never having it.

Scott: UK, 2012; vlogger. His brand is similar to irl, based on that on vlog video he did a while back; openly gay. Cynical, sarcastic, and always teasing and poking fun. He is slow to love but loves deeply.

Scar and Grians story is seperate to Jimmy and Scotts. Flower husbands' is a lot sweeter and softer, while Scarian's is a story of Grian finding self acceptance through his love for Scar. They both end, however, in tragedy. Such is the nature of the game.

i call this phenomenon "god hates me"

[asteroptera]

my unwritten literary cannon is so cool and complex and sexy trust me guys

[torchwood-99]

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.
