Writing is weird.
One minute you’re writing character interactions and the next you’re researching the social habits of ravens, which is shortly followed by planning out a new subplot you just came up with in the spur of the moment.
I love it.

Reblogging because wow. What a resource.
“I can’t breathe,”
said the man on the ground,
with a knee on his neck
and his hands tightly bound.
“I don’t care,”
said the man on his neck,
who was willing to murder
all for a false cheque.
“I don’t care,”
said the man in power,
who called black people thugs
and turned protesters sour.
“l don’t care,”
said the nation’s police,
using bullets and tear gas
to “keep the peace”.
Now they care
But they didn’t before.
They said, “All Lives Matter!”
And they chose to ignore.
So, why are you shocked? It’s not a surprise.
It takes a whole murder to open your eyes?
We have battled for years and still have not won.
You thought it was over—it’s barely begun.
Pride month starts tomorrow so I just want to remind you that if you don't support BLM and are complaining about 'riots' you are not allowed to celebrate pride month! The birth of pride was the Stonewall RIOTS, rebellion against police violence by black and brown women. There is no gay liberation without black lives. There is no trans liberation without black lives.
sometimes i just get obsessed with how lonely humans are, as a species. we see faces everywhere. we have stories about beings living in the things of our world that go back as long as we’ve been telling stories. we’ve been sending our songs and dances up to the sky for millennia, and when we figured out there was something beyond our sky, we started sending songs out there too. we tell each other about fairies and bigfoots and worlds lying under the skin of our own. we name robots and look for personality in code. we tamed dogs to have friends to hang out with and we dream about aliens. we see life everywhere. what is it, exactly, that we’re trying to replace? what left us alone in the first place?
if i ever publish a novel and it becomes a bestseller (with like a decent or large fanfom) there is a 200% chance that i will:
read headcanons about my characters
own a headcanons blog

rip to other authors but i’m different
Sensory Prompts
cold, smooth slate
smell of smoke in icy air
a shimmer of water droplets in the sun
mint leaves
cold mud
the squeak of an old wooden staircase
paper tearing
light on the bottom of a clear pool
radio static
wind chimes
light reflected on puddles
the green iridescence of a beetle’s wing
slipping into warm water
a glow stick being snapped
night wind carrying the scent of freshly baked bread
wet, rotting leaves
dice against a table
the taste left in your mouth after a dentist’s appointment
a bite of an apple
people talking a room away
walking barefoot on sidewalk
dark, bitter chocolate
dryer lint
plucking a peach off the tree
calloused palm
pine needles
aloe being slathered on a sunburn
eggshells cracking
a dog’s cold nose
porch light in the distance
pouring something into a glass
soft cat feet
scraping at a scab
a deer darting away under the trees
jumping into a cold pool
a paper cut
a too-rich dessert
putting on clean underwear
an unpleasantly damp handshake
sweaty socks
the soft fur behind a dog’s ears
crunching ice at the bottom of the glass
licking your fingers while eating Cheetos
fighting against the urge to cry
floating on your back in water
soreness after exercise
the smell of an elderly relative’s house
bowling alley carpet
fresh paint
fireworks close enough to feel in your chest
the radio playing in the background at a restaurant
watching aquarium fish
a toilet flushing in a public restroom
your breath coming out in clouds in the cold
putting accidentally way too much salt on your food
poking at a bruise
rain on a metal roof
scent of a damp basement
the weird green afterimage after coming in from the snow
getting scratched by briars
a popsicle stick against your tongue
opening a window
walking on gravel
cold pizza
blowing out a candle
a swallow of a carbonated drink
packing peanuts
a bleeding mosquito bite
trying to fall asleep in a too-warm room
loud laughter somewhere else in the neighborhood
a round rock in the palm of your hand
putting your hair in a tight ponytail
steam rising from a bowl of soup
gum with all the flavor chewed out of it
the feel of banana peel
heavy boots
latex gloves
cold coins
an earthworm squirming in your palm
someone pulling away from a hug you wish would last longer
cloudless summer sky
ripping up a tuft of grass
getting water in your eyes
clean sheets
the packaging of snack food you’re eating late at night
cold water down your neck
nasty-tasting medicine
cleaning dirt from under your nails
holding your breath underwater
flies buzzing
thick fog
aluminum foil
the smell of stagnant water
the light of a full moon
bending a green twig in your hands
another person touching your skin with cold hands
motion sickness
tufts of shed fur
hard candy dissolving in your mouth
a feeling of acceleration in your chest

OC Acrostic Tag
Ooh, today's #authorconfession on twitter was a challenge to describe your MC acrostic-style using their name!
I quite liked the one I did for Candi (from Afallon) and I think this would be a fun tag, so here we go:
Caught between this world
And another
Not all her
Dreams are
Illusion

Just a child, in an
Endless play, a
Never ending web of lies, she was meant to be
Nonexistent, she is
Your worst nightmare.

Thanks @writing-in-rain for tagging me :)
Lost in a world where a crown is
Everything, a world where the
Only thing separating one
Name from another is the title before it,
Over the person possessing it. A world where
Religion and rank define worth and it is
All too easy to forget who you are.

DO NOT JUST LIKE THIS AND KEEP SCROLLING FUCKING REBLOG THIS
script from @bluecollarbabe1 on instagram. even if you can't protest, you can still be heard. use your voice. do something.
TEXT:
To whom it may concern:
I am writing you about the murder of George Floyd by MPD officers Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao. These men were not upholding the law, they were committing murder and terrorizing their community. Being fired is not an appropriate response to the crime. All officers must be charged with murder.
We cannot continue this way. This is not the way forward. Use your station and power for change; for good. Give a voice to the smothered. Prove that all lives matter. Do your job.
When the streets clear and the ashes fade, George Floyd will not be forgotten. The events transpiring may very well be plastered into history books. The world is watching. My generation will not fail to tell our children exactly what happened. Your actions now will cement how you are remembered. If you stand up and act, you will be remembered for your bravery, choosing to enact justice. If not, history will sneer at your cowardice. The choice is yours.

hot take but black lives should matter every second of every fucking day. not when they are shot dead, not when they are wrongfully prosecuted, not when it looks good on your social media. the reason why i’m posting this is because i need y’all to know that if you support cops, if you’re behind “all lives matter”, if you try to compare your struggles as a poc to the struggles of black people then you need to hard fucking block.
also, i hate that this needs to be stated, but there are lots of children, Black children, who use the internet, and it's irresponsible to have videos of brutality and death passed around casually where they can be exposed to it. they don't deserve that trauma, they inherit enough as it is.
so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?
Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.
Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.
