"  don’t  try  to  make  me  feel  old  just  yet.  but  you’re  probably  right,  i myself  might  be  the  only  one  who  can  handle  all  my  charm  and  nonsense. as  for  blowing  you  away  ?  i’ve  got plenty  of  tricks  up  my  sleeve.  maybe  i’ll  get  you  a  house  with  a  secret  room  just  for  me  to  hang  out  in.  no,  wait  —  you  can  have  the  big  house,  i’ll  take  the  part  where  i  build  a  world-class  kitchen.  that  way,  i  can  wow  you  with  my  cooking  ...  and  maybe,  just  maybe,  make  you  think  twice  about  that  whole  separate  wings  thing.  but  hey,  i’ll  keep  working  on  that  proposal  just  in  case  you’re  actually  serious  about  this  pact.  "

"  just  bringing  it  up  to  see  if  you  have  a  memory  of  a  goldfish  or  not  .  .  .  bold  of  you  to  assume  that  i'd  put  up  with  it  if  we  get  married  ,  might  have  to  buy  a  house  big  enough  so  i  could  be  locked  on  the  other  end  of  it  .  oh  ?  i  want  to  be  wowed  ,  think  you  can  blow  me  away  ?  "

okay  friends  ,  i  am  finally  trying  to  get  started  here  on  indie  after  quite  a  few  years  of  being  off  the  indie  scene.  but  i  am  honestly  thrilled  to  get  back  into  the  swing  of  things.  as  said  ,  it's  taken  me  quite  some  time  to  get  started  and  these  days  i  barely  know  how  to  get  started  again  ——  that  being  said  …  consider  this  a  PLOTTING  CALL  !  !  !  !  !  !

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   sooooo  ,  if  you  would  possibly  be  interested  in  writing  together  —  like  this  and  i  will  contact  to  potentially  write  together.  ♥

hi, i love dynamics that r like “we make each other worse” on the surface but when u look deeper it is actually just “we understand each other on a level that no one else does and nudge each other out of our typical comfort zone” which just circles around to “we make each other better”. it’s abt the accidental growth just by being in each other’s lives. idk

being told ‘I want you’ is fucking powerful

remember that there is a person behind the screen. you are not writing with an AI chatbot; you are writing with a real person with a life outside of the blog, with friends and family, responsibilities, work and school, health issues, etc. real life comes first. jobs come first. you are not being paid to be here, and neither are they. this is not an AI chat bot with instant replies; this is a person. remember to be mindful of their responsibilities and irl obligations and be kind.

she  watched  his  movements  as  he  bent  down  to  grab  his  tumbler,  quickly  debating  whether  she  should  offer  to  buy  him  a  new  one,  considering  the  small  dents  and  bumps  caused  by  their  collision.  but  seeing  as  he  didn’t  seem  to  care  about  the  state  of  it,  she  decided  to  let  it  slide  for  now.  "oh  well,  glad  i  could  help  you  shake  things  up  —  quite  literally,"  she  said  with  a  smirk,  the  words  dripping  with  lighthearted  sarcasm.  her  smile  softened,  but  only  for  a  moment,  before  she  almost  had  to  fight  back  a  grin  at  his  teasing  comment.  "careful  now,  stranger.  if  you  keep  saying  things  like  that,  i  might  just  start  running  into  you  more  often  if  you’re  gonna  say  things  that  makes  me  feel  extra  special"  the  brief  silence  that  followed  was  interrupted  by  the  sound  of  a  snickers  bar  finally  tumbling  down  the  vending  machine.  a  bit  too  late  and  almost  a  comedic  timing.  "well,  look  at  that..."  she  said  with  a  mock-surprised  tone,  nodding  at  the  candy  bar.  "unless  you  think  that’s  enough  of  a  lunch  for  you  .  .  yeah  ,  let’s  go  find  something  better."

a small chuckle sounded from his lips, head shaking as he finally bent down to grab his poor, exiled tumbler from where it had rolled to a stop. “for the record, i’m usually the one getting kicked by life, not the one doing the kicking. so this is a refreshing twist,” he replied, slinging the bottle under his arm as he looked at her again. she was quick, charming in a frantic way, and definitely not the kind of person you forgot running into. “and no,” he continued, leaning in with a whisper, “i don’t offer lunch to everyone who nearly takes me out with a flying coffee cup. you’re just the exception.” his grin widened, hands sliding into the pockets of his hoodie as he gestured toward the exit. “but now that you’ve thrown a vending machine into submission and offered to feed me out of guilt, i feel like i’d be an idiot not to take you up on it. c’mon, let’s find something that isn’t held hostage behind bulletproof glass.”
