Deepest apologies

The year 2023 is coming to an end. I wish all of you only the best for 2024!

Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?

Thematic Relevance- Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?

Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?

Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?

Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist's choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren't immediately obvious?

“Tell me why you say you wanna be friends but then go and pull shit that makes me feel like you want to be more than friends?” 

“Do you… Like like me?” “No, I don’t. That’s defamatory.”

“I don’t know why but all I can think about is kissing you. I’m… Not the only one, right?”  

“Friends don’t fucking do this.”

“Do you actually want to be friends or do we need to talk about this and reevaluate our relationship?”

“I don’t know if I can do this with you when I think I’m starting to want more.” 

“If I knew we’d come to this then I wouldn’t have agreed to be your friend in the first place.”

“You’re confusing me. Stop it.”

“So what is it you really want from me?” “I don’t— I don’t know.” 

“Fuck, why are you doing this to me?” “Doing what?” “Messing with my head!”

“Everything about this is starting to feel really not platonic.”

“…This isn’t working.”

“I’m pulling away before I get hurt.”

“Don’t give me mixed signals. If you want us to stay friends, don’t fucking act like that.”

“I don’t know about you, but I want out. I can’t keep doing this and act like we’re just friends.”

“Did I do something? Why are you suddenly acting so distant?” “Just… Because.” 

“Don’t give me that shit. Don’t treat me like that. Don’t make me think you like me. Don’t give me the hope I don’t need or want. Don’t give me a reason to continue feeling this way for you.” 

“…I think I like you.” 

“Is it weird I wanna give you all of me?”

(slight cw for cursing!)

texting each other frequently one week and then almost never in the next

"do you want to go out next week?" "like on a date?" "i mean it could be...if you want it to be i don't know."

trying to not get too attached, since they don't know where the hell this is going

that slap in the face feeling when they mention someone else.

"i'm so sick of this 'will we, won't we' shit."

when you want to introduce them to someone but you have that slight hesitation before saying "they're a friend."

"you called me your friend." "was i not supposed to say that?" "you really think i'm just your friend? after these last few weeks?"

being so close to just asking them out

^ but then they pull back. because if the other really wanted to, they would have asked already, right?

carefully initiating slight intimacy (like holding hands, hugging, etc.) since they aren't quite sure how far they could go with where they are

"i'm still trying to figure things out." "you sure had a lot of things figured out when you kissed me yesterday."

"you know we need to talk." "about?" "i don't know...last night, maybe?"

others starting to think that you're dating and one awkwardly has to explain that they aren't

^ and maybe that hurts the other to no end.

prompt list by @novelbear

drawing circles and patterns on their chest

humming/singing their partner to sleep

carefully trying to turn the lamp on the nightstand off without letting go of their partner in their arms

"what's wrong?" "your feet are cold!"

playing with their hair

laying their head on their lover's shoulder, one arm lazily wrapped around their torso and a leg over theirs

taking innocent peeks at their partner's phone every once in a while they're scrolling

"your hair smells nice..."

smiling as they feel their partner lay a firm kiss on the top of their head

"did we fall asleep?" "i think we did.."

not being able to be calm for five minutes as tickle matches ensue

sneaking photos of each other because they're just too cute

laughing when one drops their phone on their face

"we should really get up." "we should....but we won't."

feeding them fruits/other snacks they have

absentmindedly playing with the other's fingers

melting because they just look so cute all bundled up in blankets

^ like i mean they're all curled up and look small, covered up so much that all they can see are big eyes peeking out and innocently blinking at them from the blanket. how do you want them to keep a straight face.

feeling little kisses being placed on their neck, chest, or chin from time to time.

"did you just wash these sheets?" "i did." "they smell nice. and they're still warm."

fluff was highly requested in my last poll, so here you go :) | tag me if you use any | if yall want more prompts like this, jus drop an ask nd ill respond as soon as possible :)

𝙎𝘾𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙎:

Eyes lightning up as soon as your significant other enters a room

Comparing hand sizes as an excuse to hold hands

Losing themselves in each others eyes as they hold a conversation

Forehead kisses

Cheek kisses

HAND KISSES>>>>

Constantly smiling or giggling when your partner is around

Playing with the other's hair as they rest their head in your lap

Staring at them from across the room with loving eyes

Looking at your partner like they're all you could ever want

Smiling against your partner's lips as you kiss

Tight hugs that feel warm and full of love

Asking the other about their day

Embraces from behind where the other person nuzzles their nose into your neck

Wanting to spend each second with each other, soaking in the feel of each other's presence

𝘿𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙊𝙂𝙐𝙀:

"Stay with me tonight. please."

"Can we cuddle?"

"I'll keep you warm."

"Kiss me."

"You're my favorite person."

"You feel like home."

"Do you know how much I love you?"

"You're all I think about."

"You're absolutely perfect in my eyes."

"No one could compare to you."

"Let me hold your hand."

"I love being with you."

"You're so cute, you know that?"

"You feel so warm."

"I don't ever want to let go of you."

"I'd do anything for you."

"Don't go anywhere I can't follow."

"I'll follow you to the ends of the earth."

"You're my everything."

if you write a selfless hero, let them get mad at people.

if you write a cold-hearted villain, make them cry.

if you write a brokenhearted victim, let them smile again.

if you write a bold leader, make them seek guidance.

if you write a confident genius, make them be wrong, or get stumped once in a while.

if you write a fighter or a warrior, let them lose a battle, but let them win the war.

if you write a character who loses everything, let them find something.

if you write a reluctant hero, give them a reason to fight.

At around 4 AM GMT+3, an earthquake hit the southern provinces of Türkiye: Kahramanmaraş and Hatay with the power of 7.8

The largest earthquake ever recorded in the region since 1939.

People were't able to escape as they were sleeping, there is over 5k injured right now and the estimated death count surpasses 16k.

The entire army and the special forces have been directed to the area to aid the rescue effort with many nations directing aid to Türkiye.

There is literal people, sharing their and their family's locations on Twitter, under the tons of rubble for the authorities to find them. over 140 THOUSAND building are reduced to dust and foreign report that the damage costs are estimated around 3 billion USD.

As a Turkish citizen myself, although thankfully not affected by it due to living far more west, I am devastated and exhausted by this. That my nation who is already struggling from many angles, stuck by such a natural disaster that affects so many people. It's just so exasperating.

For the ones who are eligible, I really really urge that you donate to the Turkish Red Cresent and AFAD (The Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Office) to help the thousands and thousands of people struggling for their lives. I will be personally donating also and they accept donations in USD and Euros. For the ones not available to donate, plase share this post around more communities so we can spread the awareness of the situation to more people. I am linking the necessary websites below. (THE WEBISTES HAVE AN ENGLISH OPTION IN THE TOP RIGHT)

Stay safe everyone
