They Shit-talk Each Other During A Shogi Game

That is when the first crow landed. It fluttered down, its talons curling around a branch. Then came another. Another. A parade of black settled about the tree, cawing and purring under the stars.

Cynthia Bond, from 'Ruby'

SPOILERS: I’m screaming and crying from every updated chapter.

Genda: Tsuki! Hey. Have you seen the thing?

Lina: Depends on what "thing" you're talking about, Koujirou.

Genda (searching the whole house): Oh, you know. The thing. I might have misplaced it. And you're going to kill me, because it's very important to you.

Yukine walking up from the basement: Why are ya runnin'? And heya, Koujirou, Lina.

Genda: Oh! There it is.

Lina: ...

Lina: You lost Songbird? In our house. Really?

Inspired by this:

Clarke: My hands are cold.

Lexa, holding Clarke’s hands: There you go.

Clarke:

Clarke: For some reason, my lips are getting cold too.

This is very true

i don’t think people really get how little feedback fanfic authors actually get? like the effort to reaction ratio is so abysmally skewed here that a fic nearly 50,000 words long takes an entire year to amass like. 16 comments. someone reblogged a fic i wrote at 4 am and tagged it with a 5-word compliment and i can’t stop thinking about it, not because it was so nice but because half the time you post a fic you’re going to hear nothing and anything feels like so much

fandom culture is so, so good about giving artists the credit they’re due, but we gotta start doing that for writers too. you’ve got no idea how much people put into their stories and get maybe a handful of reblogs and a dozen-odd kudos. that’s not enough. writing is an endurance sport and y’all need to start giving fic writers a reason to endure it and improve their craft. encourage writers like you encourage artists. reblog fics, leave tags, leave comments, acknowledge that these stories do not just spring into being for your entertainment. 

every single damn writer i know feels like half of their readers see them as a machine. that’s gotta change.

This is awesome

Haizaki: What time is it?

Hiroto: I don’t know, pass me that kazoo and I’ll find out.

Hiroto: *Blasts the kazoo*

Fudou, from the other room: WHO THE FUCK IS PLAYING KAZOO AT TWO IN THE FUCKING MORNING???

Hiroto: It’s 2 am.

Saw one of my fav quotes on here again and built an entire au for it where lance is a child of the ocean and gets pissed off by some humans

The real question is, has the WIP file reached 666 and if so, what's that story's pitch x)

...........................Neyo/Mace/Ponds, where Ponds and Neyo think they’re in a competition for Mace’s hand. Mace, meanwhile, is absolutely certain that all three of them are dating and is trying to arrange a nice relaxing vacation for them. It does not go as planned.
