in omnia paratus ✍🏻

i love six of crows sm. like what do you mean there's a sneaky sneaky murder girl, the gayest, twinkiest, wet-cat man you ever did see, a professional edgelord ragebaiter, a trigger happy hilarious man with a gambling addiction, the most gorgeous beautiful showstopping drug using woman alive, and her pet himbo in a book TOGETHER committing CRIMES with the power of friendship???

one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.

Shoutout to everyone who is trying right now. Trying to do the right thing. Trying to stay strong. Trying to hold on. Trying to let go. Trying to love themselves. Trying to find happiness.

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
