The Undergrunge Shitposts

(how angsty am i allowed to be…because in my book literally all the characters are traumatized but i can’t tell if that’s an acceptable vibe on this account😭)

xoxo,

Write what the fuck you want.

Write what makes you happy. Write what makes your soul sing. Write what fucks you up and makes you cry. Write what comforts you. Write what distracts you. Write what you want to read. Write what you want to watch.

Write what you want to dream about tonight.

Write what you can't get enough of. Write what you're completely obsessed with. Write what wakes you up at 4am and drags you out of bed because you can't stop thinking about what your characters are going to do next.

Write what turns you on, if that's your vibe. Write characters you're in love with and characters who inspire you and characters you want to be friends with and characters you fucking hate but oh my god they're so much fun.

Write about things you would sell your soul to do in real life and things you would never do in real life. Write about things that are happening right now and things that happened a thousand years ago and things that might happen in the future and things you wish could happen.

Write to get a publishing deal or to sell your books yourself or not to sell your books at all. Write for your friends or for strangers or for the people who reblog your posts on Tumblr and send you songs that remind them of your characters.

Write for yourself.

Fuck any system that tells you there's only one right way to create or one valid way to share your writing. Your story, the way you tell it, has so much value. Make people smile or piss people off or do both of those things because art is divisive and fascinating and beautiful.

Nickolai: Aww 🥺 I love you too.

Nickolai: Wait. You're talking to the dagger, aren't you?

JJ: *tucking toothpick into his pocket* I can love two things, babe.

Person B: “Fucking terrifying.”

Person A: “Really? Why?”

Nickolai: "Fucking terrifying."

JJ: "Really? Why?"

Nickolai: "...Because I can't help but wonder when it's all going to be taken away again."

The duo has finally reached the Above, but... is it truly the safe haven that they've made it out to be? Surely anything is better than being stuck with Adelmir and Tullion in the Undergrunge.

Adelmir: Calling me the devil? How original, Jamensee.

JJ: Actually, I was calling you a rat. You rat.
