Idk How You Fanfic Writers Do It

got so embarrassed walking into a vs i accidentally outed(???) myself

attempting to read The Scarlet Letter, why is the introduction/foreword/WHATEVER 30 something pages

The Ballad of Orpheus (Excerpt)

☀︎ HE DIDN’T MEAN TO DO IT. He really, really, didn’t.

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. Nate left the house early, under the impression that he would be able to make it back home in one piece before breakfast.

He was wrong. So damn wrong that everything hurt.

☀︎ TUCKED AWAY, hidden behind cliffs and snow-topped trees, laid a boy in moist grass. The fresh blades dug into the back of his shirt, leaving green stains mixed with vermillion.

No one would ever think a 12-year old boy would be stupid enough to run off to the woods after a blizzard, much less go near the freaking coal mines. But what else was he supposed to do?

The sky was a dull blue, the clouds painted in soft pink. From afar, the outline of deep orange seemed to wrap around the Earth, ready to encase it in its warmth.

The promise of another day felt tantalizing. He wished to reach out to the comfort of its rays; the sun’s blinding light.

But the sun would never rise. No, not for him, not anymore. No matter how much he’d pray for one last glimpse, the gold light will never shine onto him; for the star had no time to visit, and he never got to feel that warmth again.

Within the green, shielded by a mother’s calloused hands, was a musician’s final curtain call.

☀︎ THIS IS A STORY about a boy named Nathaniel, and it begins at the end, with Nate dying before the sunrise.

still salty about the eye of eden

aww how romantic

(reblogs appreciated bc this took ages lol)

chappell roan get out of my head (i love you)

you guys i love naming oc’s it’s actually so fun

the ones i’ve made for the past 3 years literally have random ass words for last names and i’m loving it

like we got a dude who’s surname is Lies, a child who’s last name is Stars, a girl who’s Loss, twins who’re Lovely

this is great yall

currently reading Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie! here are my current thoughts in a nutshell:

it’s kind of giving conservative grandma??

like, yeah, this was written in the 30s; pretty self explanatory.

i really like christie’s storytelling, i do. it’s just this book feels like her shading on the younger generation for,, idk, not being traditional or something?? which really does feel like something every younger generation faces (times really don’t change)

for the last 12 chapters i read, im just being constantly reminded about how emily arundell’s niece married a Greek doctor and how dreadful it is. like my bad, sorry this dude isn’t ENGLISH ENOUGH FOR YOU?? yall are just jealous they got good food okay

and let’s not forget there’s a slur in the book💀

literal jumpscare when i opened the table of contents.

but then again, just looking at my older copy of And Then There Were None makes me wonder why i’m surprised

UPDATE: Just finished the book! i’m surprised i got through it that quickly. anyways, here are my thoughts!

i thought the plot was interesting. i thought it was pretty cool how upfront everyone was abt how they wanted emily’s money since it shows that none of them can be completely trusted.

like everyone was after the same thing, for different reasons, but only ONE of them actually committed to it.

and let’s not forget the constant reminder of good old “english-breeding.” it’s not said a lot, but it’s something i notice popping up in the book from time to time.

like goodness gracious woman, please stop. describing others as “well bred” makes them sound like a horse freshly groomed

anyways, i think this is the first time i got introduced to hastings? i didn’t even know he was a reoccurring character and a friend of poirot since i’ve only read Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None.

so you can imagine my confusion when i skimmed through random pages and noticed it was from someone else’s perspective.

but their dynamic is pretty cool! i kind of see it as like poirot doing his usual detective stuff and it going like:

poirot, lying to get some answers:

hastings: you are crazy, y’know that?

poirot: not crazy enough to kill, though!

well that’s how i see it anyways. i do think it’s cool that seeing through the lens of hastings does make things more fun. like this silly guy is as clueless as me

and he kind of vocalizes the audience? kind of? that’s how i saw it during the times he tried convincing poirot that the ball incident was genuine

but yeah it was okay. i might read the first book of the series because i just found out poirot is a refugee or smth?? like i need to know what’s up with that

so yeah, that’s my thoughts!

teehee might get a fourth piercing today

edit: nvm it’s tmr lololol

it was pretty foggy this morning so enjoy these pictures i took!
