charismatic but in the sense that being an absolute freak does interest & compel people

If there's anything Leverage has ever taught me is that the key to getting into places you're not supposed to is a hi-vis vest, an off-putting attitude, and a shit ton of confidence

r/actlikeyoubelong for more ideas...😎

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

The banter 🩵 but also the natural hair texture on Eliot here 💙

Horrible slowly dawning realization that you are the blorbo

love the phrase "but I digress." yes I temporarily got lost in the moors I wander in my mind but don't worry I'm self-aware about it

Paramilitary member?? Uh...OK sentient wheel thing that clearly reads my blog 👀 😅

Still one of Eliot’s SEXIEST scenes. Anyone who disagrees can fight me tbh.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

i need all the help i can get for finals

I could use some luck

Real life men don't act like that? Yeah dumbass. WHY DO YOU THINK WE'RE READING THE FUCKING BOOKS??

there's an old anne rice interview circulating on twitter rn that i remember reading ages ago where she makes a pretty salient point about how submissive men who have bdsm fantasies etc will go to a sex worker and basically order the ala carte version of their fantasy to be performed in real life but women don't really have that same option and certainly not at the same point of availability so they read her horny books instead. and honestly that argument has been in the back of my mind every time people get on their high horses about the popularity of booktok romantasy novels or heated rivalry or whatever the "women are horny and we're upset about that" cultural property du jour is ever since. women, especially straight women, have so few outlets for their sexual desires, especially if they have a partner who doesn't share them, and i will never understand why "someone ELSE'S private sexual fantasy makes me uncomfortable and therefore they should not be allowed to engage with it, even if i am in no way being affected by it or even aware of it at all" is such a popular party line among allegedly progressive young people.

Okay this is actually such an important point. (Also AO3's tagging system has ruined me for all other formats and sources of erotic content sorry. [Yes, I know it's not just for that.])

not my circus not my monkeys but thanks to my mutuals i know some of the lore

Don’t use AI to write. Use childhood trauma like a real poet.

AI can never compete with the three mental illnesses in a trenchcoat that are the true identity of all good writers ✨
