Siuil A Run (Walk My Love) - Celtic Women

Me: *goes to bed super late and wakes up tired* Okay that’s fair

Me: *goes to bed right on time and wakes up tired* Okay I call bullshit

I’d rather read a polished, well loved piece at thirty pages, than read something exhausted and necessary and altogether pretentious at seven hundred pages. 

a letter to taurus

You leave a pollen trail of petals and wind chimes, and you build sanctuaries for me to crawl into and wrap my legs around your vines, you make me feel so safe. And yet, you feel so unsteady yourself, like you are always looking for a cradle of security, worried that the world will be pulled from below you feet and you will be left holding nothing and no one. It’s always everybody else’s hearts you want to stitch together and repair. And you forever try to stay still and placid, as if you are so resilient you cannot be moved. This is true, but I can also sense your fear, and your worries, and that if you move you think you will crumble, or break everyone around you. I know every pain in your life has cut a deep wound in your body and you are forced to rewatch the memories… everything is not so analgesic as it seems You seem so serene that even your silences make music.

I throw my pen up in the air sometimes, sayin', "Ayo! Where'd my plot go?"

Quirky

I’ve mentioned before that one of my favorite things about character development is figuring out the smallest tidbits of a character, something insignificant that shapes a person in a roundabout way. Characters should never be hindered by their quirks of course, but I like recognizing characters by one or two things they always seem to do. And I have a new favorite that I only just realized.

Feidhelm, one of the mc’s in my changeling story, falls asleep to the sound of conversation. Unless he is directly involved or benefits from said conversation, and he knows not to do this when a situation is dire, the sound of people talking and the rise and fall of their voices serves as a lullaby. He does it with people speaking around him, when a TV is going off, or even during a live human performance. His favorite voice to fall asleep to is Kyran’s, because when he’s not talking to his half elf brother directly, Kyran’s voice is a pleasant and comforting thing to hear. To some if comes off as incredibly rude, and I would too if someone was like that in real life, but I like the bit of inside info.
