#♥ ⠇ I’M ALWAYS FORGETTING WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD LOOKS LIKE. ( IN CHARACTER. )

[puppy-phum]

final line meme

oohh thank you for tagging me @gusu-emilu ♥ i have seen only the first lines version before so this is gonna be interesting :o

Rules: List the LAST lines of the last ten (10) stories you published. Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any. Then tag some friends.  

(i decided to pick only fics that i have finished so that the ending lines are the actual ending lines! i also chose to go with the last paragraph to make it easier to understand)

placing under a cut so that i don’t flood anyone’s dash

I. In Orbit - DMBJ, Gen, Li Cu & Zhang Qiling friendship, 17k

“In the warmth of the day, Li Cu leans to his side, lets his body tip over. His head ends up on Zhang Qiling’s shoulder, and he’s asleep before he can really even think about it.”

II. heard only silence - DMBJ, Gen, Liu Sang focused, 10k

“He falls asleep for the rest of the night like that, one arm hanging off of the couch and almost touching Wu Xie’s. He feels tethered to them, the silence filled with life. It’s as if he could, maybe, accept the weight of being alive.”

III. Both Gray - DMBJ, Pingxie, 18k

“You should have told me earlier,” Wu Xie murmurs. Zhang Qiling just hums at him.

“I’m not the only one who deserves to heal.”

He hums again. They can now learn to heal together.

IV. Binding - DMBJ, Pingxie, 55k

“He isn’t afraid. He smiles when he feels his body brush through the gate and fall into silence, his end finally chosen by his own accord.”

V. and you remain - DMBJ, Pingxie, 3.1k

“He understands, in some ways. As well as someone like him can understand what it is to be in love with someone like Wu Xie when they have always been more than just partners or companions or lovers. He understands and he does not, and it does not really matter with Wu Xie. The world can get a little hazy with Wu Xie. It could be lost completely, as long as it only gave Zhang Qiling this one thing.”

VI. without you I will not move - MDZS, Gen, Lan bros, 3.4k

“He adjusts. But it is not to a world made empty instead of a world made newly full.”

VII. sinking - 2Moons, MingKit, Ming character study, 1.9k

“He does not sink that fast anymore. And maybe one day, he does learn how to swim.”

VIII. falling - 2Moons, MingKit, Kit character study, 2.7k

“Ming says that he accepts every part of Kit, no matter how difficult or complicated, and somewhere under the familiar covers, Kit’s heart whispers:

You will stay.

And:

I will learn to be enough.”

IX. if not me then you - MDZS, Xicheng, 4.6k

“He gains no answer. But sometimes, when he comes to meet his lover’s spiritual companion again, he can see determination inside the dog’s eyes and knows that they both wait for that inevitable end. That they both share a wish, a wish to remain here for Jiang Wanyin.”

X. return to me unchanged - MDZS, Xicheng, 3.3k

He closes his eyes with the lotus gently cradled to his chest.

“Would you forgive me?” he whispers, tears slipping out when the weight finally becomes too much to bear. He has never been able to forget his mistakes. He has never been able to let go of all the things he never said.

There is nothing to forgive.

“I can’t quite believe you, Wanyin.”

Are you calling me a liar?

A playful snap that makes Lan Xichen chuckle softly.

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Then believe me and return.

“Alright, then.”

Patterns:

i try my best to tie together all the loose ends before i get to the end. tho this usually proves difficult and i end up with very poetic, cliché endings that say nothing much. also i seem to like using sleep a lot as an ending haha. hope is also a big theme which i can approve of bc i am very much into things that are hopeful at the end. there is not much left if we don’t have hope. 

thank you again, this was fun! also thank you if you read this far ^^ i really hope i can post some new writing soon, it’s been way too long sigh.

☎️ 𝙶𝙷𝙾𝚂𝚃𝙱𝚄𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚂, 𝚆𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙳𝙾 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝚆𝙰𝙽𝚃? || Okay, but like. I'm not going to be anonymous and it'll be more about the fact that I just ADORE the shit out of you. I cannot believe we accidentally found each other on this site despite being FB friends. You have and always will be one of my most cherished friends. I wrote an OC way back when called Lady Luck and you were the ONLY Edward willing to plot and do things with me. To this day it has meant the world to me and though I don't write her anymore, I appreciate the appreciation you showed for her. On top of that, watching you grow and live throughout the years has been such a blessing in my life. I see you on my FB feed and smile, now I see you on my dash and smile more. Your blog is exceptional. Your characterization and ability to capture this nerd's voice is beyond words. We are so truly lucky to have you on our dashes and in our lives. I look forward to see you in my life for a long time to come and maybe one day we'll be able to hug in person. You called me your wife and tbh, you're now mine. Fuck or SOs. It's us. ♥ || @thecannery​

Bre, honestly, when I first read this I was in TEARS, and I can only apologise for responding to it only now.

I remember Lady Luck and I remember her well. I remember how brilliantly you wrote her, and it only reinforced my belief that OCs were just as valid on this site as canon characters were, even back then when, let’s face it, OCs were treated like absolute shit. Excuse my language, but it’s true. I’ve never, and I mean NEVER understood why they’re viewed in such a poor light. Maybe other people have had bad experiences with them, but I honestly haven’t, some of the best people I’ve written with have written OCs, and I promise y’all that for every poorly-characterised self-insert (not that there’s anything inherently bad with self-inserts, but I’m talking BAD self-inserts) there are a thousand brilliant, iconic portrayals. The RPC back then was a tough place to be in for OCs - to anyone that wrote one back then and are still doing so today, fucking well done, it was a mess.

But yes, I am OVER THE MOON that we’ve reconnected after all this time, and I’ve been a silent lurker on your FB feed for YEARS. Watching you grow and get married and start your family has been an absolute joy and I am SO LUCKY to be able to witness it in such a close way. I’m beyond excited to see what your future holds and I really do hope that we remain in touch for the rest of our lives. You’re an absolute gift to all of us and please, never forget that. I love you, your blogs, everything you do. MY WIFE.
