Something fun: anytime you can work together with another artist to help bring your characters more to life. Great work @malvalen-ooc !

drafting is like…yes I get to experience a new part of my story. editing is being caught in the same shitty part of your story over and over again with no way to get out. it is being forced to relive the worst parts of your creative vision in an agonizing torrential cycle of despair and elation and despair and elation and despair.

Hence why I suck at editing.

i wonder if magic is real, but only in a really mundane way.

when i was little i could almost inerringly switch back to disney channel right as the ads ended when i was channel surfing.

maybe youve never accidentally crushed a ladybug underfoot. maybe your microwave popcorn never burns. maybe you can spin around lots and lots of times before you get dizzy.

is that magic??

honestly im not sure if these are magic or just small, invisible skills. im not sure which i like better.

My ankles never twist.  I’ve always been rather active, I did track for five years (all the running events), and one time while running I stepped in a hole, lost my shoe, and landed sprawling about five feet away.  I pulled my shoe on and kept running.

I have a coworker who somehow makes better coffee than everyone else even though the grounds come pre-measured and all you have to do is load them up and push a button.  I have a friend who has inch long nails that never break.  My brother can copy origami just by looking at the finished product and my mother can do the same with knots.  I knew a guy who never made an error when typing.

Maybe we all have little magics, the kind that you don’t realize you have.  Just tiny things that make your life slightly better but are completely unnoticed on the outside.

this is the cutest post i have ever read…

Nooo I’ve actually shared this theory before. Like my Dad is really lucky finding parking spaces. And I’ve never cracked my phone even though I drop it on the time and have an average case. Like what if everybody gets one trivial part of their life that they’re illogically lucky at?

How to tell if you’re in an urban fantasy story

You snap your fingers and light your cigarette off the flame.

Dragons and pixies are real and it sucks.

You work in law enforcement, which works exactly like real-world law enforcement, despite the fact that no two people have the same physical limitations

You mutter spells under your breath. Your breath smells like whiskey. No one has to know you’re rhyming.

You know at least half a vampire, and one whole werewolf

Everyone you meet of the opposite sex is obnoxious and grating, but some are also really hot

You walk into a room and sneer. Everyone here is so pretentious/naive

Despite the crushing realism of your story, nobody who lives in ‘hidden lands’ ever gets hit with a tax evasion summons

If you do not work in law enforcement, you own a bar and enforce strict neutrality laws on all your supernatural patrons. But chances are good that you used to work in law enforcement.

You have outwitted at least one demigod and escaped the physical manifestation of Death twice

You have at least one leather item on you at all times.

You mention Tolkien ironically

You slam back a shot of liquor and hold everyone’s respect; except your own.

Your partner (business/romantic) is missing.

Your partner (business/romantic) is dead.

You discover a shocking revelation; you’re secretly part-[redacted]! No wonder you’re so good at your job.

You’ve always known you were secretly part-[redacted], and it has weighed on you like a lodestone for your entire life

Just because there’s literally actually magic doesn’t mean we don’t all die alone.

RETICENT

[adjective]

1. disposed to be silent or not to speak freely; reserved; not revealing one’s thoughts willingly.

2. reluctant or restrained.

Etymology: from Latin reticēre, “to keep silent”, from re- + tacēre, “to be silent”.
