Teacher: I Changed The Due Date For That Project I Assigned You All, It's Due Tomorrow!

So what am I supposed to do when Eddie obviously makes the mistake one day and calls Buck Christopher’s other dad like give me a scene of Chris asking a question and Eddie just nonchalantly goes “I don’t know ask your dad.” Or a “Christopher listen to your father.” What then your honor, what am I supposed to do?

Creative writing prof: You’re in control. You’re the puppet master. You control these characters - what they do, what they say, what they think-

Every writer I know: My characters stopped listening to me and now I’m 8272836 words in to a plot that went of the rails on page 3

“One phrase… and he managed to destroy all the problems I’ve been carrying.” 

No cause seriously there isn’t a single song on the Atlas albums by sleeping at last that isn’t beautiful. Like each one lights up the soul and brings me to tears in its ability to capture and illustrate the wonder and beauty of the world around us.

Being scared of horses is the weirdest thing and is often considered irrational. And maybe it is. 

But I live in Scotland. 

And I have a special interest in mythology. 

Do you have any idea how many myths there are of Scottish murderous or supernatural horses??? 

Like by the Gods. 

There are sooo many,

Some Indigenous superheroes for Indigenous Peoples Day

buddie scene that keeps me up at night: the hospital convo from fight or flight. we have no idea HOW eddie found out buck tried the cellphone trick with chimney, but his response was to…go directly to buck? let him know he understood the thought process and probably would’ve done the same? be a silent source of support in case athena had more to say? and can we take a moment to reflect on eddie telling buck that there’s one thing different about maddie and doug’s situation this time? that she’s not in it alone because she has buck looking for her? it’s “no matter how bad it got…i always had you” before maddie ever said it.  what the fuck, guys. what the fuck. 

Ok so the thing about reading like books which are “predictable” is that I, a story enjoyer, go completely bonkers about it bc its like Enrichment in my Enclosure. A scene parallels another earlier scene between different characters thus serving to highlight the differences in their views and priorities???? A line makes me think “hmmm I bet that’s gonna be relevant later” ends up being relevant later????? I am a tiger chewing ice cubes out of a pumpkin. I’m so so happy. Please foreshadow more things. Throw the completely anticipateable plot beats at me like catnip mousies!!!!!
