Jason (crossing his arms with attitude): What are you going to do? I refuse to apologize.

Bruce stared at Jason in shock, and in his anger, he made a decision that every parent dreads.

Bruce (stern tone): You are grounded!

Jason (this is a whole adult, defiant): You can't ground me!

Bruce (firmly): Grounded!

Jason (shouting, confused): But I don't even live here!

Bruce turned Jason around and pointed to the stairs leading to his old room. Jason was too stunned to respond.

Bruce (stern, but calm): Tonight. Your room. Grounded!

Jason (stammering): I- I- Wait- This isn't fair!

Bruce (scolding parent voice): I'm very disappointed in you. Now go to your room. I'm only doing this because I care for you. Grounded.

Jason (face turning red with anger and sadness): This is some bullshit!

Jason stomped upstairs and slammed the door to his old room. The sound of random items being tossed around echoed through the house.

Bruce (indifferent): He'll work it out of his system. I'm going to bed.

Dick (looking at Tim, then Bruce as he heads upstairs): Did you just ground a 23-year-old?

Tim (surprised): And did it work?

Bruce: You forget I'm Batman.

Woman’s Feelings 🩷

"I feel so appreciated and loved after our conversation. When he offered to cook for me, it made me smile because it shows how much he cares about my happiness. But honestly, the idea of grabbing fast food feels like such a fun treat, especially since we haven't done that in a while! I love the playful vibe we have; it always makes me feel comfortable to share my thoughts. When I suggested that he could use a break from the kitchen, I felt a sense of pride knowing that I'm supporting him too. It’s important to me that he feels valued and can take a breather. When I told him to surprise me, I felt a little thrill—it's nice to let him take the lead sometimes. Overall, this little exchange made me feel really special, and I can't wait to see what he brings home!"

Man’s Feelings 🩵

"I really enjoyed our conversation—it felt light and fun. When I offered to cook for her, it made me happy because I love making her meals and seeing her enjoy them. But when she suggested getting fast food instead, I felt a sense of relief. We haven't treated ourselves to that in a while, and it would definitely be a nice change.

Her saying I could use a break from cooking means a lot to me. It shows she understands how hard I work in the kitchen and that she cares about my well-being too. I appreciate that she wants me to take a step back and relax for a moment. When she told me to surprise her, I felt excited; it gives me the chance to be playful and spontaneous with her. Overall, this whole exchange made me feel closer to her, and I can't wait to bring home something she’ll love!"

Dialogue script of the man and woman discussing their feelings and appreciation for each other face to face:

**Setting**: A cozy living room, with the couple sitting on the couch, sharing a meal together.

**Man**: (smiling) I’ve been thinking about our text conversation earlier. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate that you love it when I cook for you.

**Woman**: (grinning) Of course! Your cooking is one of my favorite things. It makes me feel special.

**Man**: I’m glad to hear that! But when you suggested getting fast food instead, I felt relieved. It’s nice to switch things up sometimes.

**Woman**: Really? I thought you might feel bad about not cooking.

**Man**: Not at all! It means a lot that you recognized I could use a break. It shows how much you care about me.

**Woman**: (blushing) Well, you work hard in the kitchen, and I want you to have some time to relax too. Plus, it’s fun to treat ourselves!

**Man**: Exactly! And when you told me to surprise you, I felt excited. It gives me the chance to be a little spontaneous.

**Woman**: (playfully) I love surprises! You always know how to make things fun.

**Man**: (leaning in closer) I just want you to feel happy. Your appreciation means the world to me, and it motivates me to keep trying to make you smile.

**Woman**: (smiling warmly) And you do! I feel so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for being you.

**Man**: (taking her hand) And thank you for being you. Let’s keep supporting each other like this; it makes our relationship stronger.

**Woman**: Absolutely! I love how we can communicate and share our thoughts. It really brings us closer.

**Man**: (nodding) I agree. Here’s to more fun surprises and shared meals, whatever they may be!

Are there any online writing groups that anyone can recommend?

I have two WIPs that I really want to finish but as the god emperor of procrastination I am swamped by the sheer number of non existent duties that constantly take my attention away from them.

So I figured that the encouragement / condemnation of strangers might be the motivation I need to complete them.

WIP 1 is a script for a TV pilot about a group of pensioners bootlegging vinyl records.

Right now this is just an outline that I need to finalise and then start actually writing.

WIP 2 is an urban fantasy novella about a wizard called Baxter Seputis, who after saving the world 10 years ago, is stripped of his magic and exiled to the Welsh town of Llanelli to run a record shop with a 900 year old time skipping knight. Now, Baxter finds himself dragged back into the world of magic to solve a murder with only 24 hours to do it before his life is forfeit.

I've written about 8000 words so far aiming for between 25 - 30 thousand by the end.

It would be nice to get them both finished this year but I'll settle for just one if that's all my absolute zero amount of responsibilities as the aforementioned god emperor of procrastination will allow.

So yeah, any recommendations feel free to send them over.

Bedtime Stories

An ordinary day in Wiltshire comes to a close. DRACO’s putting his two children, eight-year-old SCORPIUS and ten-year-old PENELOPE, to bed. HERMIONE and GINNY are watching from the doorway.

SCORPIUS: Please, daddy!

PENELOPE: Noooo! He's told that one a million times already!

SCORPIUS: But it's my turn. And I want that one!

       PENELOPE folds her arms, protesting.

DRACO (stroking PENELOPE's hair): Don't be cross, my darling. You get to pick a story tomorrow!

       PENELOPE calms down.

GINNY: I didn't believe Harry, but he really is brilliant with them.

HERMIONE: I know…

HERMIONE smiles at DRACO who returns her gaze in a way that can only be described as "smouldering".

GINNY (grinning): You two are revolting.

HERMIONE (wistful): And you don't even know the story of the dangerous sorceress who held him captive on an island, for weeks and weeks… (GINNY snickers.) Ah, our honeymoon...

SCORPIUS: Yes, that one!

PENELOPE: I want to hear it, too!

       DRACO glares at HERMIONE and GINNY who break into peals of laughter.

DRACO: Now, look what you've done, witch!

HERMIONE (apologetically, to her kids): How about the one where daddy fights the Cantankerous Cyclops?

       SCORPIUS and PENELOPE break into cheers. DRACO looks a bit hesitant; ultimately, his kids wear him down.

GINNY: Which one is that?

HERMIONE: That was during the war, at Grimmauld Place. It's a good one!

DRACO: I'm telling the story! (clears his throat)

       SCORPIUS and PENELOPE settle under the covers, listening attentively.

DRACO: A long time ago, our hero, the handsome and quick-witted Dragon Prince--

       GINNY snorts.

DRACO (louder): --is having a difficult time. He's slain a vicious, two-headed monster--

HERMIONE (whispering): Nagini and Bathilda Bagshot.

      GINNY shudders.

DRACO: --which he and his companions only survive by the skin of their teeth. He returns to his castle, where he throws himself into the arms of his maiden. She's his only confidante, and as such, they can't bear to be apart.

SCORPIUS: Ugh!

PENELOPE: Aw!

GINNY: That's the censored version, yeah?

      HERMIONE smirks.

DRACO: But danger's not over. Suddenly, the Cantankerous Cyclops bursts into their room. He’s suspicious and quarrelsome, and threatens to transfigure our hero into a teeny-tiny rabbit--

      SCORPIUS, PENELOPE and GINNY all gasp.

DRACO: Without his wand, our hero is helpless against the foe, when out of nowhere, an old, wise crone--

HERMIONE: Draco!

DRACO: alright, alright, not crone--goddess strides into the room. 'How dare you threaten our hero,' she cries. ‘He’s innocent!’ She wields her wand with furious justice, banning the Cyclops, never to return.

The kids cheer, all thought of sleep soundly forgotten. DRACO starts reading proper bedtime stories to calm them.

HERMIONE and GINNY return downstairs.

GINNY: So, Mad-Eye caught the two of you shagging like bunnies, hence him wanting to transfigure Malfoy into one?

HERMIONE (grins): He thought Draco’d imperiused me.

GINNY: And McGonagall stepped in? Unbelievable!

HERMIONE: I know! Minerva saving Draco from Transfiguration punishment, again?

GINNY: No, I mean...

      (grabs Hermione by the shoulder, staring at her)

      McGonagall saw you two bloody starkers???

[80s-jester]

Hello! I’ve been (vaguely) talking about my main WIP for a while, and I think it’s time to start posting my actual writing, not like out-of-context dialogue! The problem is that I’m still figuring out how to work Tumblr, especially with writing. 

I was thinking doing scheduled updates per episode, but that may be varied--it took me two weeks to write the first one, but I’m looking to finish the second in only one half to one week. 

And then there’s the issue of actually uploading the scripts. Do I make a blog outside of Tumblr for it? Or do I try to post them on here too? 

So I’m just working things out--hello few people who follow me! Hopefully I’ll figure out what I’m doing after I start posting. Experience writeblrs, please reply/reblog with suggestions; I’d appreciate it!
