Sciel being so honest and upfront with her wants had me hollering. Like girl, could you hesitate a little bit?

I quite liked these two together. Man who always lies meets the most perceptive woman in the world. And of course I thought she was actually very sweet to him the whole game, despite being willing to sell him out for a single corn chip shaped like her husband.

I kept Sciel in her beret the whole game cuz it looked so nice on her. I keep forgetting it’s not canon.

i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did

You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

Everything that was broken has forgotten its brokenness. I live now in a sky-house, through every window the sun. Also, your presence. Our touching, our stories. Earthy and holy both. How can this be, but it is. Every day has something in it whose name is Forever.

~ Everything That Was Broken by Mary Oliver
