Snuffed Out - Chapter 16: Care Enough to Try

Snippet:

“You know, I’m actually supposed to be the master of water.” A humorless laugh leaves her. Her hand comes out to stick itself in the middle of the waterfall. Feeling the weight of the water as it cascades down onto her bare skin. Each second there's a heavy thump with the endless stream of cold crashing down.

An aborted ‘what’ is what she hears before it’s quickly covered up by a cough. Then the footsteps get closer and she can see the edges of blue in the corner of her vision. Jay’s mess of brown hair coming in next as he sits down beside her. 

“So you’re even cooler than I thought.”

Work Summary:

The ninja all grieved Zane after his sacrifice.

Kai’s methods weren’t healthy. Fighting away night after night in the pit. Because it should have been him. The thought stayed with him. Consumed him.

He’d wanted it to stop. And it did. His grief left him. But so did everything else.

When the ninja do finally begin to reach out to one another, Kai is gone. And when they seek to find Zane, their brother they thought dead on the island, they find yet another brother they hadn’t known was so far gone.

TLDR: Kai has amnesia during the tournament of elements and ends up working for Chen :)

yeah i kind of feel like this kind of shitty shallow fiction has been around for a long long time and what’s changed really is the packaging. now it’s using the language of tropes and enemies to lovers and ao3 tags and whatever but it’s not fanfic or even imo tiktok that’s the cause of it… shitty cookie-cutter genre fiction has been around for a long long time.

‘I read this poem often. Once a month at least. In the madness and mayhem of modern life, where every man seems committed to an endless search for approval and esteem of his fellows and peers, no matter what the cost, this poem reminds me of a basic truth: that we are, as we are, “enough.”’

‘Most of us are motivated deep down by a sense of insufficiency, a need to be better, stronger, faster; to work harder; to be more committed, more kind, more self-sufficient, more successful. We are driven be a sense that we are not, as we are, ‘enough.’ But this short poem by Derek Walcott is like a declaration of unconditional love. It’s like the embrace of an old friend. We are each of us whole, perfectly imperfect, enough.’  - Tom Hiddleston -

Love After Love

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.

Is it only me, or is it easier to put all your ideas down on paper than it is on a laptop? 

My ideas tend to be more organic and don’t cease up every five minutes while I try and think of what word to type next. I’m not sure if this applies to anyone else, but I like to write down all my story points on paper. Little bullet points and details about the world, story and culture. I find it helps me bring the world to life in my mind and brings a more enriched version in my mind.

do you think anybody can be deserving of love? i haven’t done anything terrible but even so i think i’ll never be enough.

Everybody is deserving of love. I don’t have a long-winded, philosophical response to this. And just for some context, I have never been in a relationship. Thinking you’ll never be enough is a common fear, I think, especially for kids, especially for LGBT kids (assuming you’re LGBT) who, in general, have more romantic struggle than heterosexual kids.

You’ll find the person you’re meant to eventually. It might take a long time, but that doesn’t mean you should get discouraged. You are more than enough and someone will see that and you’ll mean the world to them.

Watch The Bold Type tonight (Tuesday, August 22th) at 9PM EST on Freeform. DVR (and watch/rewatch), Watch the next day on Hulu and Freeform’s site and phone app. This show needs a viewer boost and all this helps if we hope for a season 2 renewal.

Help trend #TheBoldType and tweet with the cast using #TheBoldTypeChat during the episode as well, if you are able. There are only 2 episodes left in the season and it would be great to show Freeform and this hard working cast our continued social media support as well.

Really enjoy the story “Break my heart again” would you ever update it again? I wanna know what happens

Hi! So sorry it took me so long to respond. It’s definitely not finished and still a wip. However, I kinda lost motivation while writing it because it started putting me in a bad headspace so I needed to take a step back. I have been focusing on other fandoms rather than 911 or Lone Star. That being said, I haven’t completely abandoned it and I do plan on finishing it…eventually. Unfortunately, I can’t give a timeline or expected date of an update. But for the most part, it is done and the only chapter left is the epilogue💛💛
