Hello and welcome to my sideblog of shame where I finally cave in to all my reader insert writing desires. Blame Ben Barnes. I'm afraid I am no longer accepting prompts outside of specifically mentioned prompt games.

Hot in Herre (1.1k words)

Your insanely gorgeous boyfriend joins you in bed on a hot summer’s night, making you the envy of every woman in the city. Now if only your mind could muster up some decent dirty talk instead of playing that one song on repeat…

I've always been kind of indifferent about Scottish accents. They can be nice, but I never understood the massive attraction people had for them... But now I'm listening to the audiobook for Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson, and the narrator for Lachlan has completely changed my mind on the matter. Damn that is one sexy voice.

BEN BARNES as DORIAN GRAY ↳ DORIAN GRAY (2009), dir. OLIVER PARKER

[haybellewrites]

you ever read one of your old fics and think "damn past self. you went hard on that one. i'm so proud of you." while simultaneously thinking "future self got to get their shit together and actually write something, i mean come on now."

watching 90s-2000s tv is crazy because it’s like wow. there used to be good writing and acting and more than 10 episodes per season and a new season every year. we really had it all.

No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

[cake-writes]

[divinesong]

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

[bauliya]

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.

my daily affirmation as an author

[skribblegurl]

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

Does anyone have any saja boys x reader fic recs? I'm a bit late to the kpop demon hunters party, and tumblr isn't great for going back through tags anymore (I can do it, but it's very annoying).
