︶꒦꒷  POSITIVITY  MUNDAY  !!  ꒷꒦︶

💖  what  i  like  the  most  about  SENDER'S  writing  ... 

@brokenmagxc  i  SEE  that  you  purposefully  did  not  send  this  one  but  i’m  going  to  give  it  to  u  anyway  &  ur  going  to  like  it  :)  💕

first  of  all  ,  your  ability  to  take  one  already  GORGEOUS  line  of  thought  and  follow  it through  rivals  the  elegance  of  a  gymnast  i  swear  .  you  use  words  in  a  way  that  demonstrates  you  both  understand  them  AND  you’re  skilled  at  stringing  them  together  into  something  that  should  rightly  be  called  poetry  !  here’s  my  FAVORITE  part  of  your  reply  to  the  ask  thread  we  have  going  :

arthur  is  unacquainted  with  the  fineries  they’ve  escaped  from—the  vicious  glitter  of  laughter,  the  perfume-thick  air  of  people  who  eat  with  their  teeth  behind  their  smiles.  he  had  smiled  too,  until  it  hurt.  had  traded  pleasantries  like  coins,  until  the  weight  of  civility  bent  his  spine.  knives  he  could  handle  ;  at  least  blades  were  honest.  words  only  carved  deeper  once  they’d  already  drawn  blood.

the  metaphors  ….  the  imagery  ….  the  way  you  balance  the  weight  of  your  sentences  it’s  just  sakjdflkajsdfjad  !!!!!  *  chefs  kiss  *

📂 — Bullseye doesn't like animals, and they hate him ( rightfully so ), but between cats and dogs he would pick the latter. Cats look too much like aloof assholes to him. Which is funny considering he's the biggest dick bag in town.

📂 — Bullseye had never purposefully picked up any pornographic until he was in his twenties. Dex still has not viewed anything pornographic on purpose.

positivity munday 𓂃﹒🐇💞 @brokenmagxc

this is so skdm you little goblin. here goes a speedrun !!

❤️‍🔥 who i am intimidated by but would love to write with

i don't get intimidated ! so i'm just gonna spotlight @brazenmyths who has such beauuutiful writing that i'm super enamored by !! <3 they also broke the ice with just the sweetest message ever that i still think about that uplifts me whenever my head gets a little foggy and sad hehe (kindness rly goes a long way !!). 💕 who has the nicest graphics

absolute crime if this one didn't fully go to @azarathian & @luckstole & @vivrez. i'll sit on their blogs forever and no one can stop me ... ESPECIALLY not them. 💙 whose creativity i envy

not envy bc differences are fun and make tumblr rp lovely ! so i say ppl i admire instead: @shekofeh for incredible world-building that just takes my breath away. inaya is just a wonder in all regards and i care them sm. 💜 whose headcanon posts i love @crimenight @crimenight @crimenight rose's bruce is so uniquely their own and i totally pick up on their vision and i'm so so charmed by it. if i could like each and every one of their posts a thousand times i would. 💚 whose writing speaks the most to me

@lunarscorching i stg like. flawless, flawless writing. i'm so in awe every single time. i guess this is the closest i would ever get to feeling "intimidated" bc i do genuinely wonder how someone as talented in writing as rambo could remotely wanna write with me LMAO. but we're literally besties and mains so like i'm not suuuuper that weird about it. but it has been a thought esp in the beginning lmfao. 🩵 who comes up with the most fun plots

@evincere for one !! hawk's fountain of ideas is just endless and inspiring and endlessly inspiring. so much enthusiasm and uniqueness and passion !! 🫀 who really keeps the community together

not only is @archaeval a talented writer in their own right, but they spread so much positivity and joy by keeping the spirit of old tumblr alive !! random asks for silly times, reads other ppl's threads the way i do, etc. etc. just a positive ray of light and i appreciate them lots. ♥️ what i like the most about my own writing

i'm really so bad at saying nice things abt myself so i'm just gonna quote @sluaghter who is truly my favorite and his kindness also helps me see stuff in my writing i normally wouldn't see otherwise (i saved these to keep me happy when i'm sad skmd) (also we wrote tg way back when like 8 yrs ago so he knows my style and can rly attest to it bc it's always been this way):

"its unique to me and you come up with comparisons i never read, or would have thought of, and string it in such rhythmic and fun ways?? you're really talented and paint a great picture and you have a plucky, whimsical horror or not-horror style"

"i find the words just fly out when i write with u and adella… its so fun. so macabre and whimsically nightmarish somehow. foreboding and ominous and abnormal. and it fuels my inspo!"

"i always found it so distinct and i always loved it. it feels very dark fairytale and whimsical in a very dark, macabre and opposite way. and great flow. idk how to describe it, but its very fun and feels very effortless. idk like. it just fits adella so much. like if writing could embody the character she is, then thats what its like."

🤍 a writer i enjoy seeing on my dash even if we don't write

@stormbrained we don't write YET but we're starting to and i'm v excited bc nat is so so so funny, has great ideas, and their writing is full of character !! 🩶 a writer i have fond memories of but am no longer in contact with

i don't rmr their url exaaactly it was some wordplay on volchitsa but as you can suspect they were a marya morevna blog ( shoutout to @evincere once again introducing me to media that changed my life lmfao, witcher, deathless, vampire chronicles ... ) altho i rmr we talked more ooc than actually getting the chance to rp i still am very fond of their memory !! 🧡 a writer whose friendship i value a lot.

positivity meme.

😊 : @maeikar is an easy choice for this one. always so down to write anything i possibly throw at them, or ship whatever i can conceive of. a great mutual who is a shining light in the asoiaf community !!

🌸, 🏆 : @strengthinus hits both of these points so hard. not only my real life partner, but if you're hunting for some incredible ocs with lots of different verses and storylines, their multi is the place to be !! give them more love.

💌 : @brokenmagxc because arthur's birthday was recently !! abi loves their son as much as i love mine. also, abi's just always down to listen to things that they know nothing about just so i have someone to rant about my hyperfixations to while oz is at work. <3

The freedom? That's a lovely way of thinking about it, Henry thinks.

He listens. For a moment, there sighs nothing but their musings and the rustling of the trees.

Yet, the rest would have believed him preposterous, he imagines -- or by the Saints, at long last, at the last of his wits! After all, it's scarcely the image of retirement, all these spring-burgeoning hornbeams rustling with the vines. It's rather too drab for His Majesty and too distant from the home for the poorly lived serf, but, well, perhaps that's the light amidst all of this madness. It is this: Arthur's no king, and Henry's no peasant.

Smiling, they are, to a poet's mind, perhaps but strange ghosts both.

Nicholas regards him. Dark espresso hair. Vaguely, he conjures up memories of old cobbled streets and someone who looked not entirely unlike the man before him now, only with wilder hair, tumbleweed burnt, and an almost Persian resistance to shaving. This one has dark eyes, though. Charred Arizona skyline.

It smells of incense, the remnants of a woman’s ylang-ylang perfume. When Nicholas inhales, his nostrils whistle, and a dying sun seeps in through the window.

“That would depend entirely on you, Arthur.” He peels his glasses off his face. He smiles. “Would it be a mercy,” he says, “or punishment?”

He does not look unkind. 

Sitting in a diner on a rainy day. Inconspicuous and at the same time old hat for a meeting place. Gloved fingers tapped idly on the table, shoulders slouching and back pressing against the cushions of the booth. A restlessness had settled into Chris but after the waitress came by with his coffee, he stilled some. Let his shoulders go lax. His eyes would settle on the heavy folder beside him—filled with the files and documents that he and his squad had accumulated. Years of intel. Stacks of meticulous research.

This guy he was supposed to meet—Branham, private investigator and former agent—was good at what he did, according to Chris' source. And he'd take whatever help he could get. It was risky to bring in someone from the outside. But he wanted to put this thing in the ground and dismantle the BSAA by all means, to weed out the corruption within. The American branch could not be trusted. Chris continued to wait patiently.
