Sunday | Week In Review VIII

This week's Sunday in review is sponsored by your local Farmer's Market sugared doughnuts, proudly provided by @secretelephanttattoo IYKYK 🍩

Hope everyone had a good week this week! 🙌 Tumblr is still doing it's thing with it's notifications in my activity tab. It's mostly just full of likes and some mentions (I still come across a couple on my dash I wasn't notified of), but mostly it's affecting reblogs. Anyway, if you have something you think I'd be interested in seeing or want to share - feel free to send me an Ask/DM or tag me!

Light reading week again, but it's not to say it wasn't filled with some gems!

T R U L Y U P D A T E S . . .

Happy Birthday (Joel)

W H A T I R E A D . . .

Grocery List (Frankie) by @frenchiereading I'm a sucker for domestic fluff and even more so when it stems from the Shared Breaths universe 💕 - not going to spoil this one if you haven't read the main series (which I will always shout out) - but there's a broccoli recipe here that still makes my mouth water when I think about it and I really want to try making it (if only I could conjure Frankie just as easily)

You’re Perfect for Me (Marcus P.) by @boliv-jenta The Marcus Pike thots were out in full effect this week and it started for me with this little one shot. Marcus needing some help unwinding from a tough day? Sign me up!

machine wash warm (Marcus P.) by @idolatrybarbie some more domesticity, this time from our boy Marcus (he's made for it really) and while short, it doesn't skimp on the feelings and a man who will wash your bedding and deal with the fitted sheet? Yes please!

Delta Landscaping | Chapter 6: Jeeps, Texts, and Sliders (Triple Frontier) by @rhoorl This series has be in a permanent choke hold and I'll eat up anything Jess puts out (have you checked out her Dieter series and her Frankie one shot, because you should!) and this series is the gift that keeps on giving and helps satisfy my Will Miller thots. This weeks installment is no different - we've got tensions building with Will and Katie, Benny and his big brother relationship with Connor, Santiago being Santiago and David living his best life (I want to be his bestie). Hands down one of the best things to come from thots over the Delta boys clearing Reader's garden in @goodwithcheese's 'Layover Series' (which you should read too)

The House (Jack) by @gemmahale I was so happy to get started on this series this week! The week took a left turn and I couldn't devour the rest of it as I wanted, but this is on the docket to catch with this week! It's full of intrigue and mystery and that's just the first chapter! I can't wait to see how this plays out with Andrea getting reacquainted with her grandfathers property and the history it holds.

glass (Marcus P.) by @idolatrybarbie I could be bias because this was written based on the prompts I sent over for Bea's fifty follower celebration, but it doesn't need that, because it's so good all in on it's own! We've got fluff, we've got Marcus (did I mention it's Marcus?), we've got some spice and we've got action! I'm never one to pressure authors to write fanfics, but if Bea were ever to expand on this I'd be all over it.

Butter (Joel) by fuckyeahdindjardin A happy birthday celebration for our main man Joel Miller was more of a gift to us I think. This is so incredibly sweet (pun fully intended) and was just a delight to read that had me squealing all the way through with it's toe curling pure fluff at it's best. In need of a birthday cake to bring home Joel comes across Reader closing up for the night and in exchange for fixing her shutter, she bakes him a cake. Don't sleep on this one!

What Do We Have Here (Javier P.) by @secretelephanttattoo El treated us twice this week! Now I'm still behind on Narcos (hey, I managed an extra episode this week, now a staggering five and a half episodes in!), but even if you didn't have a clue who Elisa was, the spiciness of this fic would soon make up for it! I also learnt a new word, epaulettes. Smut and education in one fanfic? What more can you ask for?

Headshots (Marcus P.) by @secretelephanttattoo Okay, the second of El's offerings this week? Not only has she been bringing the Marcus thots this week, but the fluff too! Imagine showing up to the FBI headquarters to take head shots for the agents and running into Marcus Pike multiple times over the course of a week? Wait, you don't have to! El has crafted it for us and I hear there may be a second part (series?) in the works!

Hypothermia (Joel) by @morallyinept I am the worst camper, so much so Joel Miller would probably leave my sorry ass for the clickers after the grief he'd have with me. But I hope that would be after I get to snuggle up to him for just warmth...

M E M O R A B L E P O S T S . . .

I had some interesting confessions in my Ask Inbox: Joel Thots + Oscar's Cupcakes

All of @penaonthestreets-javiinthesheets's mood boards, because they are all a mooood and a delicious delight for the eyes

The Gif™️ thots were out in full force

Maggie getting the Marcus Pike Puddles going with pancakes and cuddles visuals

Will Miller visual thots, I don't need an excuse to enjoy this over and over again.

B R O U G H T T H E J O Y . . .

How well and truly this community is so lovely - I had a really shitty day at work yesterday and by time I logged in later that night I had some wonderful messages, tags and mentions from absolutely amazing people. I can't even remember how I stumbled back onto Tumblr, but I'm so glad I did. This space really can feel like you're shouting into the abyss sometimes, but sometimes you get a response back with a 'my thots too' and you start to build your own little community.

I think I mentioned it the other day, but likes and numbers really won't hold their value. It's the reblogs with the comments, the thousand gifs/emojis or the back and forth discussions of WIP's in DM's that really make this all the worthwhile.

And also a Costco sized container of pico de gallo... it's about balance friends. But seriously, I've pushed the limits of what I can put it on this week.

T H I S W E E K ' S J A M . . .

This week's song is brought to us by my Chiffon feels as I got back into writing for Dieter x Bryony and this song is very them coded...

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Sunday, whatever it is you're doing and I wish you all a great week ahead! 💕

Richard Hayden Fluff Alphabet

Pairing: Richard Hayden x Reader

Word Count: Roughly 3,180 words

Author’s note: Hey! This is definitely something I didn’t expect to write lmao. I haven’t been in a writing mood lately, but after getting into David Spade again I knew I had to throw something together. Good news though! That means that I’m finally motivated to work on my other WIP’s! So expect those requests to be finished soon :)) Your girl threw this together pretty fast ngl, so hopefully it doesn’t suck lmaoo

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

If there is anything that Richard loves to do, it’s activities that leans more on the physical side. As much as he loves academic pursuits, he can get tired of trying to maintain the persona of ‘the bookworm/nerd.’ When it comes to activities he enjoys doing with you, it really just depends on what type of person you are. If it’s physical, his go to activities include fixing up vintage cars, dancing, cycling, painting, and whatever else you enjoy doing. If it’s more mental, then he enjoys laying back, reading, doing crafts, or learning something new with you.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

If their is one thing that Richard admires about you physically, it’s your hair and eyes. Being a person interested in astrology, Richard knows that the eyes and hair can tell a lot about a person’s personality and self. And your’s show a person with a breathtaking personality.

And something that he really loves about you is your ability to be accepting, creative, passionate, and unabashedly yourself. You never failed to accept all parts of him, whether they were good or bad. And when you figured out the situation with this hair, you never once faltered on your love and acceptance for him. Which he appreciates more than you know.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Richard has definitely been at some low points in his life. Whether it be with his career, personality, or looks, he's been through it all. So if there's something be knows well, it's definitely a person in dire need of love and support.

When you're feeling down Richard focuses on the main thing you need at the moment. As much as he wants to listen and be supportive, he first has to deal with your body's needs. Having an anxiety attack? Do some breathing exercises, ground yourself, and take a bite of a lemon. Chest pain and irritable stomach from holding in all your negative emotions? Take a second to dance, cry, and release the negative thoughts. Then, when all that is said and done, he'll sit down with you and figure out the best way to solve your problems.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Being a small town, settle down type, Richard has always seen you two having a small wedding with all your loved ones followed by having a few children. Although he never really planned to find 'the one,' you turned his life around and showed him that he is good and secure enough to finally start living the life he always wanted. And now that he knows you'll love him forever (hair or no hair), he's confident in the quiet life you'll soon live.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or are they rather passive?

As much as he wants to be dominant and feel in control in the relationship, we all know his scrawny ass could never 😔. And we all know he would love to have someone dominate him. That being said, he loves the challenge that comes with both of you fighting for dominance. But he’s more than willing to calm down and allow you to take control more often than not.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How is their fighting?

Being the prick he is, especially with his mars in aries, it will definitely take Richard a while to calm down and discuss arguments with your. While fighting, he is vicious and acts like a wounded animal. None of it is really intentional, he just gets too heated too fast and gets caught up in his emotions. That, added to an inability to express his emotions properly at the moment he feels them, makes him a bit difficult in fights.

That being said, once he calms down and feels the guilt of his actions he immediately comes back to you and spews out an apology. If your fight was especially bad, he’ll end up setting up a nice dinner for both of you and let out a heartfelt apology. He loves you with everything he has in him, but he’s still dealing with processing and expressing a variety of feelings (plus he’s a man lmao).

G ratitude - How grateful are they they in general? Are they aware of what there s/o is doing for them?

With his string of luck and life choices, Richard is very grateful for all of the good things he has in his life; especially you. He understands first hand how fast life can turn sour, so he doesn’t take a second of his life for granted once he meets you.

He knows how much effort you’ve put into y’alls relationship and is aware of how much of impact you’ve had on his life and personality. And for everything that you do, he is deeply appreciative. And he tries to return that energy back to you 100% every day you two are together.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

After you figured out his secret about his hair, he knew that he could trust you with everything else. The only thing that he keeps to himself really are secrets that deal with surprises for you. Besides that, he shares relatively everything that concerns him.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

In a way, you both change different aspects of each other; while Richard makes you more sarcastic and ambitious, you make Richard more laid back and wholesome. But when you mix, there seems to be a harmonious balance of the perfect personality.

Furthermore, you help each other work through personal trauma and make sure that the other isn’t falling into a bought of negative emotions. That strengthens your relationship while also making you both better versions of yourself.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Being the sarcastic prick and insecure person he is, Richard is definitely someone who gets jealous easily. To him, you could have anyone you wanted; someone with hair, a better build, and definitely with a better personality. And when he sees you with a man that possess all of those things, he tends to get pretty jealous.

But he never takes that out on you. He knows that you would never cheat on him or avoid communicating your intentions. When a situation like this comes up, he usually takes a moment to contemplate his insecurities, stews in it for while, then brings it up to you. When that’s all said and done though, you both usually curl up and remind each other how much you both love and appreciate each other.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like? +

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Overall, Richard is actually a pretty decent kisser. He moves in just the right ways and knows how to avoid being excessive. Additionally, with the love that he puts behind every kiss, he makes you feel loved and appreciated with every languid motion.

The first kiss you two shared was after a company party when you took him home to watch a movie. You both got bored of waiting around and doing nothing at the party, so you left to do something more fun together. After sitting on the opposite ends of your couch, you both started to slowly inch closer and closer to each other. By the time you both started cuddling together, he felt as though the time was perfect to lean in and risk it all.

And when he gripped your chin, pulled you in, and placed a slow kiss to your lips, you both knew that you wanted to turn this official.

That being said, he still wanted your consent on if things would truly turn official or not. After letting out a whispered confession of love to you, you both thought it wise to discuss your newly developed relationship.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose?

Getting married is a definite for Richard. He doesn’t care what kind of wedding it is or when it happens, he just wants everybody to know that you’re his and that he’s yours.

Not one to be overly dramatic or public about an important moment, Richard proposes to you while you two are on a camping trip together in the mountains. You had both just woken up and began drinking your coffee on a log by one of the lookouts. With the rising sun hitting your eyes an hair in all the right points, he knew that he had to propose; it was the perfect moment. Not even his nerves could prevent him from doing it.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

With this man’s wit and sarcasm, he never fails to have new and creative nicknames for you. Usually though, your nicknames depend on the type of mood he’s feelilng.

Sarcastic? My sweet turtle dove. Affectionate? Sweetheart. Playful? Sugar/Angel Face.

It just depends :)

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

When in love, Richard can act like a wistful and love-struck romantic. From afar, Richard can be seen sending you longing and affectionate looks. Furthermore, when you two are near each other, people pick up the way he always drifts really close to you and continuously reaches towards your hand.

While he has a tendency to act aloof and uncaring, Richard does make it a priority to tell you how much he loves you (as well as how radiant you look to him) at least twice a day. He never wants you to feel as though he doesn’t think you are anything less than deserving of all the love you can handle. Even if you two fight, he always puts aside his pride and remembers to tell you that he loves you.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

When it comes to PDA at the beginning of you two’s relationship, Richard wasn’t too much of a fan. He was still stuck in the mindset that he had a reputation to uphold; he couldn’t be seen being soft and mushy, he had to be suave and respectable. But as you guys’ relationship progresses he begins to appreciate showing you love no matter the situation.

If you were to ask one of his coworkers on how he’s changed since being with you, they would definitely point out the fact that he has softened up considerably. He doesn’t care too much about his ‘reputation’ as much since he only focuses on showing you affection during the moments where it fits. By the time you two create a well-rounded relationship, he begins to casually brag about you and how you are the most fantastic significant other anyone could meet. It gets a little annoying, but people find it endearing do a certain extent. (it’s still Richard we’re talking about here lmao)

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship

He understands astrology and a few other personalty based aspects of people, so he acknowledges all of your quirks down to a ‘T.’ He knows your communication style, love language, argument method, preferences, etc. just by a birth date and a few other factors.

That being said, he also knows what things are particularly difficult to you, which helps when you aren’t able to communicate how you’re feeling on most occasions. (He has yet to learn how to solve his own problems with this quirk though)

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Once Richard knows that you love and support him unconditionally, he becomes the sappiest, most romantic person you’ve ever met. Although he has his cliché moments, Richard is usually creative with his methods on making you happy or keeping your relationship interesting. Most of which have to do with the office where you two work *wink* *wink*

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Being a man of high ambition and deep respect, Richard would love to help you reach your goals; no matter how big they seem. Especially if you are the same way with him.

He knows how much success and respect can mean to a person, so he will do anything to help you achieve the things you want. One aspect that he likes most about you guys’ relationship, is that you both constantly work towards bettering each other. He believes that you were both meant for great things. And if you associate great things with living off-grid and become self-sustainable, then he’ll help you achieve that.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Richard appreciates a sense of routine in his life and relationship- especially when it comes to his well-being. But this is mainly linked to his underlying trauma from childhood and career. Not that he’ll ever admit this though, he’s got a reputation to maintain.

He’s never really been given the opportunity to feel free enough to be himself and act childish. It was always, ‘act too mature and professional’ or ‘be cold, distant, and ambitious.’ When you came along though, he finally felt secure enough to open up and be himself. Which, of course, led to trying new things in your relationship. He’s down to try anything if it makes you happy; cause when you’re happy, he’s happy.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Deep down, Richard is not the most empathetic person. He’s had to rely on himself for almost his entire life, so being able to read and cater to another person isn’t the easiest for him. Reading social cues on the other hand, is. That being said, his love for you runs deep and he’s willing to just about anything to make you happy. He’ll take notice of the little things you like and the gestures you’ve come to appreciate, and repeats those.

Additionally, he understands that you aren’t responsible for his healing. He knows that he is responsible for a huge majority of it, so he takes note of your empathetic nature and uses it to heal not only himself, but you as well.

When that’s all said and done, Richard comes to learn a lot about both of you and shocks all of his associates with how close you two have become over the years.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Richard values your relationship as much as he values air. Which definitely says something. The man doesn’t care that much about anything when it comes down to it (publicly that is), but he does care for you. And his is willing to quit his job, move across the globe, or do anything you wish just so that he can make you happy for even a second.

After he met you, nothing really mattered as much as you guys’ relationship. To him, those things were put on the back burner and wait. As Charles Aznavour sang, “Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears; And make them all my souvenirs; For where she goes I've got to be. The meaning of my life is she.”

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon

Richard has actually always wanted to have a child. Since he never had a father present in his life and repressed his inner child, he has always wanted to prove that he was better than his parents. That being said, he’d love to have a little girl over a son. Mainly because he knows she will bring out the softer side in him.

All in all, he just wants to nurture and care for a child that he knows will grow up to have a stunning personality and life.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

At heart, Richard is a man with a deep, passionate, and affectionate nature. He loves being close to you and enjoys laying back and spending some personal time together. He loves all sorts of kisses he receives from you. Whether they be short and sweet or long and languid, he loves them all.

When it comes to the long and languid ones though, he loves to do them while you’re cuddling together.

Is it because he knows it’ll lead to something more? Maybe....but he’ll never admit that.

Plus, sometimes he just like being held so he knows he’s cared for.

Y earning - How do they cope when they're missing their partner?

Let's be honest, Richard can become a bit of a prick when you're not around. Since you both work together, everyone notices the day's where you’re absent; cause his toxic energy goes through the roof. Although he isn't insufferable, he definitely reverts back to his sarcastic and aggressive method of communicating and acting. But he can't really help it; (his mars is in scorpio 🙄 jk jk lmao) he doesn't have someone around to treat him right y'know? When he's alone though, he tends to get a bit melancholic and revert to sitting around and waiting for you. It isn't his proudest moment in life, but he’s trying to get used to the fact that you might not always be there. With that in mind, he copes the best way he knows how: by occupying his mind. Which is usually by working on his cars or cycling.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind?

Similar to his career and the things he aspires to do in life, you are something that Richard will go great lengths for. Although Richard knows when to quit, committing to a task is something that isn’t unfamiliar to him. He will work night and day to please you and keep you happy.

Need him to take the day off to help you with a task or take care of you? Done with no hesitation. Need more emotional support because of recent events? He’ll drop everything in seconds. To him, nothing is worth ruining the relationship you two have worked so hard for.

Note

PLEASE pretty p l e a s e write a nysm au scene PERHAPS possibly maybe a scene where jack finds out why race idolizes him so much so we get more insight on why he so protective ?? 🥴

So sorry this took so long, friend!

Now You See Me AU

TW: Mentions of child abuse

Jack looked stressed. They’d been holed up in this apartment for a week now. Race had started cleaning it up on instinct. Katherine has helped him, along with David, eventually. Jack never wanted to help. Katherine and him had fought about it before, but Race never cared. If Jack didn’t want to clean, Jack shouldn’t have to clean.

No one else seemed to understand but Race.

Right now, the boy was watching Jack go over the plans again, needing to know and memorize every detail.

He was on the couch, just sitting, having run out of things to do. David had tried to get him to read. Race had never been much of a reader. So, while Davey and Katherine were out at the store, he’d been timing himself while picking various locks he’d found and lifted from stores around town. And now, he was just bored. So he watched Jack analyze every detail, letting himself get a little bit lost in his own head.

“I can feel you starin’, kid. What d’ya wan’?” Jack groaned a little bit, gripping at his hair. He had bags under his eyes, like he hadn’t been sleeping.

Race rubbed at his eyes, shrugging just a little bit. “Just… thinkin’...” he sighed, not tearing his gaze away.

“Alright, well, could ya think in another direction? You’re startin’ ta make me think you wanna steak my soul ‘r somethin’,” Jack joked.

For a month now, Race had wondered. He supposed now was as good a time as any to bring it up. “Ya don’t remember me, do you?”

At this, Jack paused, turning to him with a curious look. He shrugged. “Should I?”

Ducking his head down, only slightly embarrassed, Race shrugged. “Um… no… I just… you… I always really looked up ta you,” he admitted, finding his hands very interesting all of the sudden.

Jack smirked a little. “Lots a’ people do. I guess I have that effect on folks,” he winked.

The younger boy nodded, smiling a bit at Jack’s smugness. Sometimes he wished he could be like that, brush off every insecurity he had and play to his strengths and never show fear. Not at anything. Scratching at the back of his neck, he bit his lip. “Yeah… I mean… I guess my fascination started when you basically saved my life,” the kid stated offhandedly, standing to his feet, planning on leaving. He was nervous all of the sudden, like Jack would be disappointed in how he turned out somehow.

But Jack’s voice stopped him, “Alright, I’ll bite. What are you talkin’ about?”

So Race sighed and turned back to him. He shoved his hands in his pockets. “I was a foster kid growing’ up… in n’ outta homes all ova’,” he explained shyly, only glancing up at Jack who seemed to now be giving him his full attention. “No one wan’ed me so… I ended up in bad places… includin’ a boys home called—“

“The Refuge…” Jack finished for him, understanding coming over his voice. “Oh my God… you were that boy…” His shock was slow and quiet, but still very much there. It only occurred to Race now that Jack might’ve singled him out because he was very clearly the youngest most malnourished boy in that whole house.

Race fought to keep himself put together. He didn’t want to think about everything that had happened in that place. “Yeah… I was that boy…”

Race was freezing. It was always freezing in that room. Snyder never turned on the heater. Not even in November.

That boy was at the window again, passing food and blankets through the window. The young child didn’t even bother trying to fight for any of it. Every time the older boy came, he was shoved aside, forgotten and shoved away. He curled up on his spot on the ground, sniffling and trying to trap as much warmth in as he could.

All he could think was that he was grateful he wasn’t in the closet tonight. These other kids might be mean and defensive, but at least he could stretch his legs out.

“Alright, alright, ya vultures, go ta bed…” the voice of the guardian angel at the window whispered. It sounded like he was smiling, but Race didn’t look up to see. He waited for the window to click shut, just like it always did, so he could try to close his eyes and get some sleep.

The window did click shut. But footsteps were making their way towards him. Squeezing his eyes shut tight, the kid tried to ignore them, hoping they’d leave him alone if he didn’t react.

He didn’t expect a blanket to be pulled over his shivering shoulders. A hand pat his back gently as something that smelled amazing was placed just in front of him. Letting his eyes slide open, the boy realized he’d been crying. He hadn’t even noticed.

Kneeling before him was the boy from the window, holding out a piece of bread to him with a sad smile on his face. “Don’t be shy, kid… take it,” he breathed, nodding to the small bit of food that was more than Race had eaten in two days. Looking around fearfully, the ten year old waited for someone to snatch the small snack away without a second thought. Everyone was staring at him, almost like they were warning him against eating. “Hey, don’t worry about them. Just eat,” the mystery boy from the window coaxed.

It was all Race could do to comply. He slowly sat up, letting the blanket pool around him as he cautiously reached for the roll, his hands shaking all the way. When he brought the thing to his lips it was impossible to keep it away. He began devouring the thing, hardly even tasting it as it filled up his empty stomach.

A hand caught his wrists, pulling it away as the boy whimpered for more. “Hey, don’ make yourself sick. It ain’t goin’ nowhere,” the older boy promised, handing him a small bottle of water and giving him a wink before standing to his feet and glancing around. “Listen up!” he whispered to the room. Eyes were on him in an instant as Race eyed the bread in his hand. He didn’t want to disappoint the boy from the window who had shown kindness to him for no reason at all. “Anyone takes anythin’ away from my new friend n’ I’ll have ta soak ya,” he announced.

Race’s eyes shot up to him as the older boy turned back to him, squatting back down beside him. “There… now ya can take yer time, alright?” he whispered only to the scrawny ten year old on the ground beside him. “Ya can’t let ‘em beat ya.” With one click slip of Race’s chin, the boy from the window was leaving, the child watching him in awe as he slipped back out into the night as though nothing had happened.

When the little boy looked around, he found eyes staring at him in amazement. The boy from the window had never singled anyone out before. But he’d chosen Racer to talk to, of all people. He had tears in his eyes as he feared they’d pounce, not heeding the threat they’d just been given at all. But they just rolled over in their bed, letting out sighs as they all collectively agreed to leave him be, silently.

Glancing out the window again, Race broke off a piece of his roll, trying to savor this moment while he could.

He’d been given a single night of peace by his guardian angel. And he’d bask in every last minute of it.

By the end of his story, Race had resigned himself back to the couch, unable to look Jack in the eye. The young many probably saw him as pathetic now, a little kid who couldn’t fend for himself let alone keep up with three great magicians. “That piece a’ bread was all I had for the next week. Snyder… locked me in his office closet n’... h-he forgot about me. It was the first time I had ta pick a lock.”

The couch dipped beside him. Race didn’t look up. He fiddled his hands in his lap. Jack let out a long sigh beside him. It wasn’t until Jack began playing with some cards, shuffling them around expertly, that Race looked up. But Jack wasn’t looking at him. “You… you looked like my brother…” the man admitted sadly. It was clear that he was trying not to focus on his own words. The cards were the only thing that were going to get him through. “I saw you layin’ there on the floor… like you was givin’ up…” He paused, flicking some cards into the air and catching them perfectly. Not quite like how Race threw cards, but still very gracefully. “I remember how it felt ta be in there n’... the thought of a tiny kid like you givin’ up in the middle of a place like that… j’st didn’t sit right with me…”

Race watched those cards whirl around in Jack’s hand. There would never be a day that went by where it didn’t amaze him. Everything he’d learned, he’d learned because of this man. “Nothin’ about that place should sit right with anyone…” he muttered.

Letting himself fold his cards together, Jack blinked the memories away, kicking his feet up onto the coffee table in front of them. He turned to look at the kid beside him, extending out a hand to him. “Hey… survivors for the win?” he smiled.

The boy let out a breathy laugh and shook Jack’s hand. “Survivors for the win,” he agreed.

Together they sat there, messing with locks and cards and plans, forgetting about how they’d gotten there completely. But there was something a little bit lighter inside of both of them.

Survivors for the win.

NEW

My live reaction to the West End production of The Grinning Man: Apeshit Edition (Act 1)

I wrote everything down first so here’s a wild ride

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Ah, Julian

Less flamboyant than Bristol

"Lon Don. Yes Lon Don"

Trafalgar Fair? Ew

We get it, you gotta make references to places

Don't like the speed

Low note!

Violin?

Baaa-kilphedro

Snake rattle!

Yes, draw that note out

0-100 real quick

Too rigid

Ooooh, the "Did you think a change of king" theme during Angelica's intro

Laughing at Barkilphedro?

Oh, it's not Sean as King Clarence

What happened to the "oooo"s during "look at my unhappy children"? They sound like sheep

HATE the new lyrics

EWAN BLACK

WHERE? IS THE PICKLED HORSE???

I didn't think it was possible for David to be More Twink than before

Egyptian lavender? How do you know where it's from, Mr. Organ Grinder?

Why Osric yelling?

Why Barkil yelling???

I CANNOT hear Barkil's laughter

Still hate the speed

"This pissing song" is a phrase I hate

RATING: 3/10 (damn can't believe I did that)

Give Me Back My Mother

Mr. Maskell, I was not prepared for that vibrato with how nasally it sounded?

Hate the speed

Woah, Lady Trelaw admitting to her son that she's gonna die? Don't like that

Why is that beat happening?

Grinpayne breaking into a sob "I promise you my mothe-" 😟

RATING: Initially 4/10, but the ending made it 6/10

Hymn of the Hanged Man

The gradual speed-up freaks me out

But that creepy breath thing to show Hazlitt "coming back to life" is nice

Ewan's tone is different

Louis sounded a little freaked out at "Uhh" you're dead." Nice

Also "Uhh you're dead." Nice.

Why is the piano still going so fast???

Who is panting? Hazlitt? Sir, why?

"The cause that I fought for refuses to die" okay, not mad at it

It's a banger, but it shouldn't be

"Fight for the cause that your little needs" N I C E

That was such an aggressive "FIGHT"

"There's blood in my nightmares" Bro the rhythm doesn't fit with those lyrics

Hate the next two lines

"But I know that I don't want to die" Nice

Hazlitt, stop being so aggro.

Okay, I love the vow to remember his mother and to protect the baby, but as a transition to "By the laws of every land" it's gross

Hate the speed

Also, is this in a different key? Or is Louis doing something weird with his voice

"Help us!" That's good shit it sounds so strained I love it

Get the fuck out of here with that pre-recorded wolf howl shit ew

Mojo has TWO (2) actors. Why can't they do it?

RATING: 5/10

Stars in the Sky

Ah, Sean. Good to hear you properly, man.

The guitar? Gives off a vibe I don't hate

Wait, is it a guitar? Or is it a harp?

The way Louis says "Father?" is so strained it's gut-wrenching

It is not a guitar. Still does not answer questions

"Am I dreaming?" BOY I CRY

Grin, you're a little *too* coherent

A FLUTE! My home!

RATING: 7/10 I genuinely want to give it more but it doesn't deserve it

Beauty and the Beast

DRAMATIC BEAST NOISES

Why does Grinpayne make the Beast sound like an old man???

That final "bleh" was so abrupt Mr. Maskell P l e a s e

Sanne sounds heartbroken I know we talk about Theatre Kid Grinpayne, but...

Theatre Kid DEA

"Kiss him" "Oh yes" BOY I DIE

MWAH mwah mwah mwah mwahmwahmwah ~~~

His emphasis on Lord oh my GOOOD

No "Dance with me" 😔

Why are they making surprise noises? At this point they're flying are they reacting to that?

Grinpayne scared of heights? My heart.

"Never did I dream that you would save me from despair" Louis why are you singing it so Dramatically?

Okay it's tender again

Louis and Sanne... sound like they have a similar range? Like they're singing same note same octave?

They're overpowering each other at different moments. Mostly Sanne (sorry, bb)

I'm sorry the Great Bell of WHAT? I don't speak British.

Also, they cut out my favorite bit!

The "Is your love a kind of healing?/ Your kiss of life has..."

RATING: 6/10 (It was 7, but the Bell had to ruin it)

Something's Going to Change

Since this song wasn't in Bristol, I have no idea what to expect

The intro kinda gives me "Why We Build the Wall" vibes?

"What do you dream of, Dea?" My HEART

"A father who loved me" Loved? Past tense? Bitch!

I just realized Grinpayne never said Mojo's name in Bristol. I'm glad he does it here.

An ocean boiling with foam? What the fuck?

Yeah, this doesn't need to be a song

The overlap is MESSY -- let this be a regular scene

RATING: 4/10

I've Never Seen a Face Like This

Okay it really should be "I Have Never" contractions make it weird

Why do I hate this David's voice? It's Too Posh and Not Posh Enough at the same time

Also, he SAYS "I Have Never Seen " why did they do the title Like That

JosiANAr~~~

A little more musical than Stuart Neall, less dramatic

The way he says "This man has changed my world" is... Off. Rhythmically it's off the way he says "my world" specifically

What is that string instrument doing? I'm assuming it's a violin when he says "an angel with the mutilated cheek" ; it's a screechy thing

It's a cool effect if this were a podcast

That laugh David, good God

"Oh really?" B R O

"Like this?" Like what?

Screechy thing again

"H-o-o-o-ooorn" Josiana, queen!

"All right, tell me" considering how deep your voice went, Josiana, I'd say you're trying to seduce him

"More ugly and erotic than a visit TO THE ZOO" Jesus Christ, David

Unrelated, but I think we deserve to have the Erotic Breakfast Dance in a TGM cast album

I love Amanda Wilkin

"Starts ScReAmInG-ng in the pit of your soul" Don't like the pit addition

"Through your MoWtH"

"And you're utterly... l o s t"

It speeds up weird, very rigid

"That's why I'm jumping up and down and screaming HAĻŁEĹUJÂH" bro

Don't mind the new lyrics

I. Have. Ne. Ver. ~~Smiled~~

Since it's a live recording, I get to hear the audience go ham

RATING: 8/10

Born Broken

Oh, boy here we go

I love this song, So Sean, Louis, and Sanne better not FUCK IT UP

Oh don't like subtle lyric changes

Why'd she draw out "Disharmony"? I don't Like It

Stop changing the lyrics! The Bristol ones were perfectly fine!

Sanne's a little pitchy? Sorry, bb

Okay, thank you for not having Ursus say "Bury your pain/Start life again" 3 times in a row

Also, is that a theremin? It sounds too fake to be a theremin, but idk

Hate the speed

The "Laughter is the Best Medicine" theme with the cymbals is PEAK CHAOS

"No! Not ToDaY! Today I will ShOw them the pain of my *NOT* 👏 knowing" Louis what are you doing?

He sounds like a petulant child; it's so goddamn funny

Also, Josiana, David, and Barkil *just* showed up oh my gooood

"Barkilphedro, get down! I can't see" Josiana just step on him

The way David says "get ready to shit kittens"

RATING: 6/10

I am the Freak Show

Too Musical, Louis

"I'm the stuuuuff..."

It's so quiet

"I'm the shadow who walks in the night" where's the pizzazz? Did Dea replace you as the Resident Theatre Kid?

I miss Bristol's "and I strrrip all the stars in the sky" 😔

Okay, the "Who am I?" was Theatre Kid Grinpayne adequate

"I'm the source *oF yOuR fEaRs* I cannot articulate it through text but he sounds like a gremlin

"I'm the whisper of doubt in your ears" then why ain't you whispering?

WIPE The tears you cry!

yOuR PiTy...

Mr. Maskell, what are you doing???

The "I am the Freak Show" is so rigid and aggressive, Jesus

Oh he is straight up Not Having a Good Time Right Now

Hate the speed

fUUUUUCK MEEEEEeeee

Josiana ma'am I'm begging you

Who is applauding right now? The real audience? If so, why?

"It's even better than the last time" David you sound like a proud parent, what the hell?

It. Cannot... BEEEEE

Barkilphedro, why did you go up at least 1.5 octaves there???

He shattered a mirror asdfjkl

RATING: 7/10 (was 6; Josiana & Barkilphedro brought it up)

Brand New World of Feeling

So I've listened to this before, but I'll give it a solid review

This scene should be called "Josiana's Letter" but that's just me

Very rigid

Amanda Wilkin send tweet

With a. sshhiver of paIN

Not a big fan of Grinpayne's new lyrics

That honkytonk! I love it!

I can't really understand Josiana's new lyrics but I don't like them

Like the Cut. Of. A Kniiifeee^uh

It's a Banger! Groove with me, babey!

You're what at the riverbank? My hearing comprehension is piss poor, apparently

Very "Pharaoh's Song" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat vibes

RATING: 7/10

A Scar is Born!

Why is the exclamation point there?

Oh Sanne's "Grinpayne"s are heartbreaking

"Something is scorching the air 'round my head" Bro you don't get to sing that; it does not sound right

I miss the Bristol harmonies

Osric what happened to your voice?

ooo-ee-YOU-ee (I do not know how to describe that sound)

I'm Law-ghing like St. Frahncis

Hate the speed

"I've got a funny feeling in my hand/ it's feeling kind of freer like a brain that's been trepanned" hate this

Based on this and the Egyptian lavender bit, I think Osric was a nobleman's son who ran away to join the circus

Whatever the fuck happened here, I cannot describe it (1:05-1:08)

Grinpayne your lines are stupid

Still miss the Bristol harmonies

Hate the new lyrics

Hate that ending

RATING: 3/10

End Of The Night - Rick Wright

A/N: I'm sorry it took so long, I took a little break.

L E N G T H: 1,582 words W A R N I N G: Nothing really. I N S P I R A T I O N: End of the Night - The Doors

Y O U R P O V

The phone rang, causing me to wake from my slumber. I groaned from the sudden noise and lifted myself from my bed, trudging my way to the phone. Pulling the receiver out of its slot, I press the receiver's speaker on my ear.

"Hello..?," I mumbled.

"[y/n]? Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry if I did,"

"Its fine, Rick. No worries."

"Alright. Anyways, would you like to come with the band and me on a trip to the forest for a few days? Possible a week for that matter," he asked with his gentle tone. Tittering, I nodded.

"I'll tag along, I'll bring tons of snacks and essentials," I grinned and let out a little humming laugh.

"Alrighty! We'll all meet at the studio at 3 and head on to the forests."

"Okay, see you soon," I hung up the phone and dashed up the stairs. I opened the handles on my closet doors and walked into it. Digging through sections of the closet, I found a camping backpack that I kept since I was younger just in case I wanted to go camping again, but this time as an adult. Grabbing it, I opened it up and found some memorabilia, then set it down on a shelf across from me.

After an hour, my bag was finally packed with everything I needed. Before walking downstairs with the bag, I grabbed my towel. Once downstairs, I plopped the bag down on one of the cushions of the couch and paced to my bathroom.

After a few minutes, I came out of the shower and changed into comfortable, but casual clothing. As I walked back to the living room again, I dried hair and turned on the T.V. to see if anything was interesting. After a few minutes, I found a Hollywood drama that I couldn't take my eyes off.

T I M E S K I P

R I C K ' S P O V

I arrived quite early at the studio and sat outside on the steps. Taking a deep breath and sigh, I took a book out of a small pile that I packed and slid my finger done the pages, letting the book open up by itself. I began to read and felt the activation of my imagination.

About 30 minutes go by and I was already one third into the book,

"Hey, Rick!" A voice called, I looked up and saw that it was Nick. I placed my bookmark into its new spot in the book and shut the book,

"Hello, Nick."

"What'd you pack for the trip?" Nick asked.

"Not much actually. Just some food, a journal, books, and of course a tent," I elaborated.

It didn't take long until David and Roger arrived. We all stuffed our stuff into the back of the van that's owned by our manager. He would let us borrow it whenever we needed it.

I gazed down at my wrist and saw what time it was, 3:16. I sighed to myself and fiddled with my fingers.

"Rick, is [y/n] coming? We have to get on the road soon before it gets dark," David explained.

"She's running a bit late, I kno-". The sound of panting became audible and nearby, it caught my ear. I faced the opposite way from the band and traipsed my way over to the gate. Peaking my head slightly over the gate, I saw [y/n] running towards the gate. I swung the door open for her to come in. Once she made it in, she gasped for air with her head facing the ground and her hands on her knees; I took out a canteen from my bag and handed it to her.

"[y/n], were you running the entire trip here?" she flung her head back and nodded as she drunk from the canteen. Once finished, she handed it back to me and I rubbed her back as she began to struggled less and less with her breathing.

"Are you okay now?", I asked.

"Yes, thank you for the refreshment," she showed me a grateful smile. Nick clapped his hand, grabbing the attention of all of us, "Alright, now that we're all here, it's time to get on the road, I'll drive this time."

"Let me get your bag, [y/n]" I said and got behind her and, in one fluid motion, slid off her bag and placed it with the other bags.

We all got into the car; Nick in the driver's seat with David seated next to him, Roger having the middle row section to himself, and [y/n] and I in the last row chatting about whatever came to our heads.

Nick started up the engine and got out of the parking lot in a matter of seconds and we were on way to the forest.

T I M E S K I P

Nick parked the van right outside of the campsite and turned off the engine. We all filed out of the car and got our stuff out. Heading off to the entrance station, we all looked at our surroundings and soaked up the beauty of it, but I focused most of my gaze on [y/n]. She turned her head and made slight eye contact with me, causing her to display her pearly whites at me. I smiled back and tucked back a strand of my hair,

"How do you feel about this trip?"

"I'm excited, I finally get to read some books that I haven't been able to read and be outside, which doesn't happen as often as I want it to," she explained. I paid attention to every detail I could, the way she talked, her body language, anything really.

Arriving at the campsite, we set our things down and set up. I opened the bag that carried the tent and let everything spill out. Spreading everything into its layout and grabbing the tiny hammer that came with the tent, I hammered down each peg deep enough for the tent to be held up steadily. Once I was finished, the tent stood up tall.

"Holy crap, Rick. Where did you get that giant tent?"

"My father gave it to me, I never thought I would use it, yet here we are," I let out a chuckle.

"Hmm.." [y/n] said, stepping closer to the tent, "seems like it could fit a whole family." We all laughed, but I developed a faint blush on my cheeks when [y/n] said 'family.'

Y O U R P O V

The sky began to darken as the sun slowly went to sleep. We all gathered in a circle and put a battery-operated lantern in the center, it shone enough to go beyond the circumference of the circle we've made.

"Are we telling horror stories?" Roger chuckled.

"No, we're singing songs and doing "What am I supposed to do, grab two sticks and beat the ground with them?" Nick questioned.

"That doesn't sound bad actually," I laughed and patted Nick on the back.

David picked up his acoustic guitar and began to strum the strings.

"What are we supposed to sing about?" Rick asked.

"Anything," David reassured. Rick cleared his throat and began to sing. It was quite rare for Rick, let alone speak. We were are speechless and wonder-struck. David was slowly strumming slowly but softly, Rick's gentle tone merged perfectly with David's playing.

"If the sun refused to shine"

"I would still be loving you"

"When mountains crumble to the sea"

"There will still be you and me."

We realized that it was Thank You by Led Zeppelin. Once Rick finished, we all clapped immensely, making him feel a bit shy.

After hours of singing, joking, and telling stories, we decided to take a little break and each go to our respected tents. I sat in my tent and read The Shining by Stephen King. Being intrigued by the book, I kept my eyes focused on the pages and blocked out my surroundings until I heard a voice,

"[y/n]," I turned my head to the direction of where the voice was coming from. Slowly getting up, I set my book down on its pages and made my way to the sealing of the tent, unzipping it. Behind the sealing was Rick. He looked a bit worried,

"Oh, hey Rick. What's up?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"May I come in?" I responded with a nod and he walked with caution. We both walked and sat adjacent to each other.

"Alright, Rick, what brings you here today?" I joked, chortling.

"I wanted to open up about something that has been bothering me for a while now," he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Okay, what is it? I promise I would judge you," I reassured him. He took a deep breath and let out a sigh. He looked at his hands and fidgeted with them as he mustered the confidence to say his confession.

"I.. I think I've fallen for you and when I sang that song... it was for you" I smiled a little and nodded my head at him.

"I've fallen for you too, Rick."

He grinned at me and I hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear, "I love you, [y/n]."

Without leaving his embrace, I placed my lips on his and kissed him with all the love I could give.

"I love you too, Rick."

T A S K # NO. 2

★ CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT - DORM ROOM AND MEMORIES ��

C A S S I O P E I A S A O I R S E M A C M I L L A N

why do you write like you’re running out of time? write day and night like you’re running out of time. Every day you fight like you’re running out of time, keep on fighting in the mean time.

Home or Hogwarts?

Home bedroom, though she would pick Hogwarts generally. While Hogwarts for Cassie is a place filled with adventure, new possibilities and everything new that she has been dreaming of for so long; she is still a sucker for her room at home. Mainly because it feels so familiar and has all of her notebooks, books, and is filled so many memories of her childhood and Stan. Though she has to admit, having the library so close by here, really does give it a run for it’s money.

Five memories:

Ink stains: It is no surprise to anyone that Cassie writes practically every spare moment that she can and anywhere for that matter. Her bed has often been the location of many a scribbling session. Notoriously clumsy, Cassie has spilt ink countless times all over her bed or on her hands and then touched something. There are ink stains on the curtains and bed frame to no ones surprise.

A memory with Stan: Lying on her bed and listening to records was always a common occurrence between the pair. They’d done it so many times back home, music had always been a big part of their friendship. A new record meant a listen and dance session. Cassie had quite literally dragged him off her bed so they could flail around the room haphazardly, letting them limbs swing in every direction. Though it was a common theme, it would always be one of Cassie’s favourite memories because it was the first time they listened to one of their shared favourite records. Even if she had accidentally managed to hit him in the face while swinging her arms about.

A memory with Mary @maryconrad: It truly was a blessing is disguise that the two girls were not put in a dorm together. Of course not for either of them, they would have loved in it. But the destruction that they both would have caused from shenanigans would have been countless if they’d been in each others company as long as room mates were. Though that didn’t mean that they never got up to any trouble. They were drinking in Cassie’s room one evening before they headed down to the lake to meet up with the rest of the gang. Mary had stolen a bottle of wine from the kitchen and Cassie was never one to say no to anything. They’d ended up jumping along to Cassie’s record player on her bed. Bouncing at the wrong time, Cassie had ended up bouncing into the bed post. Leaving more of a dent on her head than anything else. But there is still a splinter in the wood from how hard she hit it.

Proving a point: Stubborn as a bull, if she has a point to prove she will make sure that she does. Something she finds the need to do more often than it feels like she comes up for a air. This time it had been a debate with her room mates. She’d been standing on her bed for a height advance as if some how being that little bit taller would make her voice more impactful, when she’d stubbed her toe hard on the footer of the bed leaving it bruised for weeks.

Smoking: Cassie had been smoking in her room in her fourth year, while going to light another cigarette with her wand instead of a lighter, a spark flew from her wand and caught onto her curtain setting them on fire. Luckily she’d managed to put the fire out quickly, but there is still a visible scorch mark.

10 things you could find in cassie’s corner:

1) books upon books: an avid reader, along with her suitcase there are countless books stashed under her bed. Whether it be notebooks that have run out of pages, muggle books - particularly her favourite poet Sylvia Plath -, or more reluctantly school books, every breath she takes is meant to be filled with the written word and that’s just how Cassie likes it. 2) the infamous patch work denim jacket: normally slung across the end of her bed when she isn’t wearing it, the jacket is adorned with patched given to her by her best friend Stan. 3) blanket her mum made for her and it acts as a piece from home 4) Gael’s house: Cassie’s pet at Hogwarts is a little tiny toad named Gael, she made a little make shift home for them which lives just at the under the foot of her bed 5) Hanging stars: a small reminder of home, Cassie took a few stars from her sibling’s + Stan’s old hide away den. It gives her comfort knowing she can look up at them every night. She’d got one each made by Eddie (@edmundmacmillan), Mel (@melmacmillan), Lizzie (@lizziemac), Stan and herself. 6) The record player Stan bought her: One of her prized possessions, it takes pride of place by her bed side with the small amount of records she owns - mainly the beatles, queen, david bowie and fleetwood mac 7) An unreasonable amount of tea: Cassie drinks tea as if it is water. When she is writing in the dorms or common room, you can bet she has a cup of cinnamon black by her side 8) Scrunchies: There is always atleast two or three stray scrunchies by her record player for her to bung her hair up out of the way and off her face. 9) Mugs: there is a couple of mugs she’d brought from home that she keeps under her bed for whenever she wants some tea. She used to borrow them from the kitchen, but would forget she had them and would always get slight death stares whenever she’d go back down after breaking a couple. So after first year, her own became necessary 10) Quills and parchment: there is an abundance of ink, quills, scrap pieces of parchment, newspaper clippings and the odd new notebook always around Cassie’s bed to grab at a moments notice.

Scared to Be Lonely – part 2 (Ethan Ramsey X MC)

Note: You can read part 1 here. Thank you all so much for the feedback, I’m so glad you liked it! I hope you’ll like this one too 😊 Also after seeing this amazing post from @thirstyforvillains I decided to accept that Ethan looks exactly like David Gandy which means I’ll include gifs from this point on.

Note #2: Taylor Westbrook is my MC so I’ll use her this time.

By the time she walked into his apartment, Ethan had already put a new bottle of wine on the kitchen island, ready to pour some for the both of them. This made Taylor think, though.

“You said you drove to the park,” she began with raised eyebrows. When he nodded, she went on. “But you’d drunk quite a lot of wine before that trip.”

Ethan let out a long sigh and raised his hand to rub the back of his neck. “Yes, that… wasn’t a wise move but in my defense, I didn’t have much choice.”

“You could’ve just stayed in this neighborhood,” Taylor pointed out with a teasing smile, knowing perfectly well he went all the way there just to meet her.

“Sure, I could have,” he replied as he handed her one of the glasses. “But I knew Jenner would prefer the park.”

Nodding, she looked down and scratched the back of the dog’s ear. If Ethan really didn’t want to tell her the truth, she wouldn’t push him, especially not today. By now she knew he would start talking eventually so there was no point rushing him.

Silence fell between them and Taylor began to wonder what to think of this situation. When she sat on the couch, he did the same, and this time he sat much closer than he’d done earlier that day. In general, he was sending mixed signals to her recently, and most of the time she had no idea what to do.

This man was the reason she came to Edenbrook. She looked up to him. She even considered him some sort of a mentor. But things had changed recently. He began to open up, talking about his personal life when she asked him about it. Every now and then, especially during the past week or two, Taylor thought about what she really wanted.

Despite what he usually said, Ethan was almost like a friend. But times like this, when he clearly let his walls down, things became different. Things were more… intimate. And this was confusing and even a little scary because they hadn’t known each other for that long. It was a little too fast.

“Is everything okay?”

When she turned to him, Ethan rested his elbow on the back of the couch and watched her as he took a sip of his wine. She hadn’t noticed how mesmerizing his eyes were before but now… It was hard to focus.

In the end she cleared her throat and said, “Yeah, I was just thinking.”

But while she spoke, all she could think about was a part of Taylor Swift’s song Gorgeous. ‘Ocean blue eyes, looking in mine, I feel like I might sink and drown and die.’ It was so stupid, she honestly felt like she was a teenager again, having some stupid schoolgirl crush on someone.

She pulled up her knee to finally face him and the two of them watched each other for a while, both waiting for the other to break eye contact first. The silence in the room wasn’t awkward or uncomfortable. No, it felt good and natural, and she didn’t really want it to end. They were lost in their own little world, like a bubble that temporarily kept them away from the harshness of the real world.

“Thank you for coming here,” he suddenly told her with a grateful smile.

“That’s the least I can do,” Taylor replied softly, raising her glass. “Hey, why don’t we watch a movie?”

“What movie?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know. Well, I mean, you told me you hadn’t seen ‘It’ yet.”

“‘It’?” Ethan asked with raised eyebrows.

“The movie based on Stephen King’s novel?” When he shook his head, she let out a tired groan, not ready to explain what the movie was about. Instead she only put her glass on the coffee table and said, “Come on, you need a distraction.”

He thought for a couple of seconds then, after seeing the pleading look in her eyes, he nodded. “Alright, fine.”

“Great!” Taylor said as she happily clapped her hands.

Though he didn’t say it, she could have sworn Ethan actually enjoyed the movie. Sometimes she glanced over at him and noticed a faint smile on his lips which was a good sign. It meant he could finally forget about his problems, even if just for a little while. When the movie ended, they said goodnight to each other and she took a quick shower before heading to bed.

She was tired and fell asleep almost right away, but after only an hour or two she woke up to an unfamiliar melody, as if someone was playing the piano somewhere near. As she listened closely, she realized it came from the living room. With a frown she got out of bed and walked there to see what was going on. Out there he found Ethan sitting on the bench, so lost in the song he played that he didn’t notice her entering the room.

“Wow, I didn’t notice there was a piano here,” she noted when she stopped next to him.

Ethan stopped and turned to look at her, dark circles already forming under his eyes. “Did I wake you up?”

“Yeah, but don’t worry about it.” She sat down next to him and pressed a key or two just to try it. After taking a deep breath, she looked over at the attending. “Can’t sleep?”

“I have a lot of things on my mind,” he admitted quietly, his attention turning back to the keys as he began to play again.

Taylor closed her eyes and listened to the melody for a few seconds before clearing her throat to get his attention and make him stop. When he did, she said, “I assume it’s not the first time lately.”

“You’re right, it’s not,” he replied with a nod as he looked up at her. “Is it that obvious?”

“You look tired, you’re grumpier than usual… Yeah, it’s obvious,” she said with a sad smile.

Without answering he looked away and let out a sigh. She had no idea what was going on but she guessed he just needed some time to figure out how to say what was on his mind. Sure enough, a few minutes later he finally turned back to her and said, “I hope you know that if I snap at you at work, it’s not personal. Don’t take it too seriously, okay?”

“Why?”

“Because you,” he began slowly, but his voice faded and he didn’t finish the sentence. “I just have a lot on my mind with Naveen’s case, leading the diagnostics team and dealing with that competition. And I’m not… exactly known for my patience.”

“That one I know,” she noted with a small laugh.

Ethan ran a hand through his hair and looked away. She found it suspicious, especially after noticing the hurt look in his eyes. But what really broke her heart was the way he suddenly said, “I’m sorry, Taylor.”

Without thinking she shook her head and put a hand on his leg. “No, it’s okay, I’m not mad. I’m just worried about you, that’s all,” she added, even flashing a supportive smile at him.

Slowly Ethan reached out to sweep a strand of hair behind her ear, then he rested his palm on her cheek. Taylor didn’t move, she didn’t speak, she just waited for him to finally do or say something. He was clearly struggling, battling his own feelings, but there was nothing she could do about it now. This was something he had to figure out alone, she simply couldn’t push him.

Soon he leaned forward, only stopping when his lips were just an inch away from hers. He hesitated. Taylor could feel his long fingers on her cheek, his warm breath on her lips, and the anticipation slowly drove her crazy. Why didn’t he kiss her? What was he waiting for?

Suddenly he gulped and leaned back to build some distance between them. “We should probably get some sleep,” he said hoarsely.

“Yes, you’re right,” she lied without missing a beat.

They both stood up and hurriedly retreated to their own bedrooms without saying anything else to each other. Of course, she wasn’t stupid, she knew perfectly well why he did it. Ethan was her boss. She took part in the competition to get a spot on his team. The thought of the two of them being more than co-workers or simple friends was… outrageous, unethical and unprofessional.

PS: I’m evil. And that’s definitely NOT how I was planning to end this part. It just... happened. // If you found typos and/or other errors, I’m sorry, but it’s late, I’m tired, and I really wanted to post this tonight.

PS #2:That gif was a terrible idea. Looking at all those gifs was torture. Why am I doing this? BTW the source is weheartit.com.

Story Anon Here, So I've Written a RandoM Story That CannoT and ShAll noT be Shared with David( If it is i will mucha beat who showed it to him). Anyone Else is fine. e s s p e s a l l y v o i d m a n It also Dosnt fit in this box so here is a Small Part. "I am here because I want Who Knows," Henry bellowed, in a Bored tone. He slammed his fist against Dave's chest, with the force of 4496 maggots. "I frigging hate you, Dave ." Its Gets Kinda... ViolEnt.

"If you show it to me, then you cannot tell it to the others, at least not easily." Interested Henry listened to what he had to say. "... I would cast judgment, but I cannot as you have not shown the full story. I doubt I would ever say that I hate William, unless you are currently acting from within a nightmare of his, which WOULD be interesting for a narrative. Please do tell me where I can see the full story." Show it me on AO3, send a fucking link, I DARE you. YOU PROMISED ME A STORY, I DESIRE IT."One thing however that I need to critique..." Bit by bit he leaned over the Anon. "Let. Me. Say. Fuck." On the other side, Old Sport listened to the story as well, laughing at the “bored” part, because he could imagine it so well- Henry coming all the way over, but still acting bored, just to-But at the part that followed he stopped being amused.Instant he grabbed the Anon. Tightly. “… so you think it’s funny to write a violent story about Dave, huh? That’s really what gets you going, hm? To fuck him up?” He tugged him closer, shaking a little in his anger. “REALLY funny. Let me tell you something else that I would find HILARIOUS. Me, dragging you out on the street and rubbing your head so long over the pavement until nothing is left. You know, I always was curious how much I would need to rub for that. Isn’t there a story out there called Eraserhead? That will be you buddy, in my story. And I’ll make sure to be VERY realistic with it.” From behind, Dave voices sounded, before two purple arms followed, wrapping themselves around his orange torso. “What’cha talkin’ about, Sportsy?” Taken a little by surprised, Old Sport stuttered a moment, before taking a short breath. “Nothing, really. Just about a story he won’t be writing because it’s about… it’s about how horrible, stupid and smelly Henry is.” Insulted Dave looked at the Anon. “How fuckin’ dare ya. I will come for ya if you publish such garbage.” “… where were you, Dave?” A tad worried Old Sport asked, trying to free himself from Dave’s grasp. "I've been looking for you everywhere!" "Eh." The guy made a Canadian noise. "Just been checkin' on... stuff. Sorry I've been gone, I didn't do anythin' too exciting." Which was true. He and Henry had just been building on a bigger machine, trying out different ways to shortly push so much compressed energy into the void that it ripped open for a moment. Nothing he would think his buddy was interested in.Tightly he hugged him again, poor Old Sport who JUST had escaped his grasp. "I MISSED YA TOO!" "I never said I missed you!" The answer came back, but it sounded more joking, Dave didn't take it too serious. Instead the guy was opening his arms and grinned. "BRING IT ON, ANONS!"

Do ALL the OC things!

I was tagged by @suplexranger and @marvilus73 and @commonwealthhero in a few different OC things recently and I am a creature of efficiency so I have mushed all the things together to make one OC post because that sounded fun!

I’m tagging you guys back for whatever parts you didn’t do if you want to do them (or do them again!!!) and y’all that I’m pretty sure have OCs if you haven’t done any of these @red-king-4 @humans-are-friends-not-food @infamy-and-plunder @lamorellenoire6 @tatosoup @ashleyanthrax @nukenai @lobselvith8 @purple-martin111 @theredalice @angeliquedevive @rakimaiirisa ~~ I lowkey stalk some of your OCs ngl 😏 As always no pressure on doing it and IF I MISSED ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DO IT FOR THEIR OC @ me because I love all your brain children they are amazing.

Of COURSE it’s about my favored child Jack Daniel

It’s long so go under the cut 👇

(There are also more pictures😏)

OC Profile

NAME: Jack Daniel O’Kelley

NICKNAME: Jackie, Jackie O, General Jackoff

AGE: 24

SPECIES: Human

PERSONAL

MORALITY: Somewhere in the neighborhood of Neutral/Chaotic Good

RELIGION: It’s c o m p l i c a t e d. Raised Catholic and really wants to believe there is a loving God, but believes more likely than not there isn’t. He’s super mad at organized religion, though.

SINS(greed/gluttony/sloth/lust/pride/envy/wrath): Lust, wrath, gluttony (not for food but for drugs and alcohol)

VIRTUES(chastity/charity /diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice): Kindness, patience (for certain people and things), justice, charity

KNOWN LANGUAGES: English, Latin, Chinese

PHYSICAL

BUILD (scrawny/bony/slender/fit/athletic/curvy/herculean/pudgy/plus size/average): fit/athletic Prewar and coming out the vault, but he gets pretty scrawny because malnutrition in the wasteland is a thing

HEIGHT: 5'11

SCARS/BIRTHMARKS: His one scar from before the war he got in Anchorage by standing up and hitting his head on a suit of power armor he was repairing (very heroic battle scar, I know). During the game he gets clawed in the face by one of Kellogg’s synths during that fight, and that’s where the scars on the left side of his face come from. He later loses his right arm via grenade in the Battle for Bunker Hill which also left a new scar on the right side of his face.

ABILITIES/POWERS: Extremely mechanically and technically talented and pretty fuckin’ charismatic. Better than decent at sniping. After his quasi-religious LSD trip courtesy of the Children of Atom in Far Harbor his eyes changed color, radiation began to heal him and sometimes ferals are friendly (I legit saved my level points to max out the Ghoulish perk at that point for this like a pro RPer)

OC and Songs

Avenged Sevenfold - Strength of the World

“Strength of the world! is on my shoulders Strength of the world! is on my side Strength of the world! the one true beholder Ice in my veins! for those who've died I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life There's nothing left to say Avenge the dead. killed all who cross me in my path Suicidal, I never planned on coming back I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth Need nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees Nothin' ta lose vengeance ta gain (you know I'll never be the same) So taste my breath I'm close behind you (so desperate on your final day) Sorrow swallows my screams Sitting in silence with heaven above me, I prayed every night by their graves While I search for closure I feel it no longer I can't turn my cheek away I stand before you; I'll sin when I have to But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride “

I was trying to pick a handful of songs and I couldn’t so I’m gonna dump a medium-sized not-comprehensive/exhaustive list 👇

Greenday - 21 Guns // Sia - Elastic Heart // A Perfect Circle - Imagine // Hozier - Arsonist’s Lullaby // Radiohead - Wolf at the Door // Tool - Schism // Kesha - Spaceship // Whitesnake - Here I Go Again // Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory // David Bowie - Heroes // Roger Miller - King of the Road // Frank Sinatra - My Way

#sole survivor #this is very self indulgent

Wisdom Teeth (D.D)

Warnings: Swears maybe...

Requested: @gingr-gingr said

hey. i love your work. could you do a david for ik imagine where the reader gets braces? i just think it’d be super cute and fluffy. :)

Gif by: @dobrikgifss

I didn’t want to do this at all. I hate the dentist let alone surgery in my mouth at the dentist. I am practically shitting my pants about it. My boyfriend David was taking me in. That settled my nerves slightly.

“David, don’t make me go pleeeeease.” I whined to him as he drive the car to the dentist. He chuckled and shook his head.

“Nuh uh. You’re going you’ve pushed this off for far too long.” He said to me. I think I can break him.

“I will do anything...” I say to him as I start to slowly trail my hand on his thigh up towards his crotch. He looks down and then at me. He takes his right hand and pushes my hand down.

“As tempting as that offer is...I need to take you in for this procedure, baby.” He said to me still gripping my wrist. I sigh and turn back forward. I wasn’t going to crack him.

We had finally arrived at the dentist and we were waiting for death to walk through that god forsaken wooden door. My knee was bobbing up and down at the speed of light, and I swear I could taste blood coming from under my over bitten finger nail.

“Baby,” David said suddenly startling me. He laughed at my reaction. “Stop worrying when I had this done it was easy, I swear you will be fine.” He said kissing my lips. All of my motions stopped as his lips calmed my nerves once again. I pull back and lean my head on his shoulder. His head then resting on my own. A nurse comes through the door in purple scrubs.

“Y/N Y/L/N?” She said looking around the room. I stood up and reluctantly followed her lead. I turned back to David who was giving me two thumbs up. Here we go.

One hour later

Davids pov

I waited for Y/N to be finished with the procedure. When finally a nurse came out.

“Is there a David Dobrik here for patient Y/N Y/L/N?” She asked looking around the room. I stood and waved my hand. She made a hand gesture to make me move closer to her.

“What’s going on? Did everything go okay?” I asked her quietly.

“Yes everything went completely fine. She is stable just very very very loopy.” She said also speaking with her hands for emphasis. I was confused. “What I mean is that she is reacting very strongly to the laughing gas.” She said and ushered me to what I was assuming Y/N’s room. She stopped at a door and I could hear faint laughs and yells. She opened the door to Y/N sitting on a chair wiggling around and yelling.

“Get off of me Mr. Trump!” She yelled and pushed a nurse. I laughed and sat down in front of her. She l looked to me and gasped for a long time.

“Baby! You’re here! Thank god get me out of here!” She said muffled with gauze in her mouth. I laughed at her.

“We will soon, sweetheart.” I said to her and patted her leg. She smirked and turned to a nurse.

“Me and him. Yeah, we fuck sometimes. And guess what? He is a god at it!” She yelled at her the nurse could not keep a straight face nor could I.

“Baby you can’t say things like that to people you don’t know.” I said still trying to calm my laughs.

“I just want people to know that my boyfriend, IS A SEX GOD!” She screamed holding up peace signs with both hands. I let out a wheeze laugh. “Me and these nurses are friends, David. Stop hating on me like I am some washed up rubber ducky condom, start respecting.” She said throwing her head every which way. She gasped again.

“R-E-S-P-E-C-T!” She starting belting with one hand in the air making lazy snapping noises. She started laughing and clutching her stomach.

“Oh my god!” I said laughing at her. She finally started to calm down and she was taking breathes in and out fast. The nurse walked to her.

“Do you need some help standing up to leave?” She asked her.

“No no no no no ma’am I have my sex god boyfriend David motherfucking Dobrik to help me.” She said trying to be snarky but failing as her eyes then started to close. The nurse looked and me and I nodded at them. There was no way she was going to be able to walk. Let alone to the car. They rolled a wheel chair in and sat her limp body down. She laid like a dead body as she slept in the first place. On anesthesia it looked even worse.

They rolled her out to my car and placed her inside with ease considering her body type. She laid on her side with her eyes half open. I got out my camera and recorded her.

“Baby.” I said. She moaned in response. “How are you feeling?” I said pointing the camera down at her.

“Like a million...ducks. Bucks.” She started to laugh again but in this prolonged wheeze laugh. I started to laugh at her laugh.

“What are we sitting in?” I asked her.

“Flavios new whip!” She said yelling at me.

“What does that mean?!” I ask her laughing still.

“I wanna go home, babe.” She said to me squirming in her seat. I pouted at her pitiful discomfort.

“Okay sweet baby.” I said to her rubbing her hair. I look at the camera and do and outro. I was gonna take this high little baby home.

IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SO SO SO SORRY! I’ve been gone for like ever. I’m kind just in a motivation block right now but I have like 6 stories to get to that I will get to i’m sorry for the delay everyone hears are rolling! Thanks guys🖤🔆

33 Unusual Tips to Being a Better Writer

via James Altucher

Back in college, Sanket and I would hang out in bars and try to talk to women but I was horrible at it.

Nobody would talk to me for more than thirty seconds and every woman would laugh at all his jokes for what seemed like hours.

Even decades later I think they are still laughing at his jokes. One time he turned to me,

“the girls are getting bored when you talk. Your stories go on too long. From now on, you need to leave out every other sentence when you tell a story.”

We were both undergrads in Computer Science. I haven’t seen him since but that’s the most important writing (and communicating) advice I ever got.

33 other tips to be a better writer:

A) Write whatever you want. Then take out the first paragraph and last paragraph

Here’s the funny thing about this rule. It’s sort of like knowing the future. You still can’t change it. In other words, even if you know this rule and write the article, the article will still be better if you take out the first paragraph and the last paragraph.

B) Take a huge bowel movement every day

You won’t see that on any other list on how to be a better writer. If your body doesn’t flow then your brain won’t flow. Eat more fruit if you have to.

C) Bleed in the first line

We’re all human. A computer can win Jeopardy but still not write a novel. If you want people to relate to you, then you have to be human.

Penelope Trunk started a post a few weeks ago:

“I smashed a lamp over my head. There was blood everywhere. And glass. And I took a picture.”

That’s real bleeding. My wife recently put up a post where the first line was so painful she had to take it down. Too many people were crying.

D) Don’t ask for permission

In other words, never say “in my opinion” (or worse “IMHO”). We know it’s your opinion. You’re writing it.

E) Write a lot

I spent the entire 90s writing bad fiction. 5 bad novels. Dozens of bad stories. But I learned to handle massive rejection. And how to put two words together. In my head, I won the pulitzer prize. But in my hand, over 100 rejection letters.

F) Read a lot

You can’t write without first reading. A lot. When I was writing five bad novels in a row I would read all day long whenever I wasn’t writing (I had a job as a programmer, which I would do for about five minutes a day because my programs all worked and I just had to “maintain” them). I read everything I could get my hands on.

G) Read before you write

Before I write every day I spend 30-60 minutes reading high quality short stories poetry, or essays. Here are some authors to start:

Denis Johnson

Miranda July

David Foster Wallace

Ariel Leve

William Vollmann

Raymond Carver

All of the writers are in the top 1/1000 of 1% of writers. What you are reading has to be at that level or else it won’t lift up your writing at all.

H) Coffee

I go through three cups at least before I even begin to write. No coffee, no creativity.

I) Break the laws of physics

There’s no time in text. Nothing has to go in order. Don’t make it nonsense. But don’t be beholden to the laws of physics. My post, Advice I Want to Tell My Daughters, is an example.

J) Be Honest

Tell people the stuff they all think but nobody ever says. Some people will be angry that you let out the secret. But most people will be grateful. If you aren’t being honest, you aren’t delivering value. Be the little boy in the Emperor Wears No Clothes. If you can’t do this, don’t write.

K) Don’t Hurt Anyone

This goes against the above rule, but I never like to hurt people. And I don’t respect people who get pageviews by breaking this rule.

Don’t be a bad guy. Was Buddha a Bad Father? addresses this.

L) Don’t be afraid of what people think

For each single person you worry about, deduct 1% in quality from your writing.

Everyone has deductions. I have to deduct about 10% right off the top.

Maybe there’s 10 people I’m worried about. Some of them are evil people. Some of them are people I just don’t want to offend.

So my writing is only about 90% of what it could be. But I think most people write at about 20% of what it could be. Believe it or not, clients, customers, friends, family, will love you more if you are honest with them. We all have our boundaries. But try this: for the next ten things you write, tell people something that nobody knows about you.

M) Be opinionated

Most people I know have strong opinions about at least one or two things… write about those. Nobody cares about all the things you don’t have strong opinions on.

Barry Ritholz told me the other day he doesn’t start writing until he’s angry about something. That’s one approach. Barry and I have had some great writing fights because sometimes we’ve been angry at each other.

N) Have a shocking title

I blew it the other day. I wanted to title this piece: “How I torture women” but I settled for “I’m Guilty Of Torture.” I wimped out. But I have some other fun ones, like “Is It Bad I Wanted My First Kid To Be Aborted” (which the famous Howard Lindzon cautioned me against).

Don’t forget that you are competing against a trillion other pieces of content out there. So you need a title to draw people in. Else you lose.

O) Steal

I don’t quite mean it literally. But if you know a topic gets pageviews (and you aren’t hurting anyone) than steal it, no matter who’s written about it or how many times you’ve written about it before. “How I Screwed Yasser Arafat out of $2mm” was able to nicely piggyback off of how amazingly popular Yasser Arafat is.

P) Make people cry

If you’ve ever been in love, you know how to cry.

Bring readers to that moment when they were a child, and all of life was in front of them, except for that one bittersweet moment when everything began to change. If only that one moment could’ve lasted forever. Please let me go back in time right now to that moment. But now it’s gone.

Q) Relate to people

The past decade has totally sucked. For everyone. The country has been in post-traumatic stress syndrome since 9/11 and 2008 only made it worse. I’ve gone broke a few times during the decade, had a divorce, lost friendships, and have only survived (barely) by being persistent and knowing I had two kids to take care of, and loneliness to fight.

Nobody’s perfect. We’re all trying. Show people how you are trying and struggling. Nobody expects you to be a superhero.

R) Time heals all wounds

Everyone has experiences they don’t want to write about. But with enough time, its OK. My New Year’s Resolution of 1995 is pretty embarrassing. But whatever…it was 16 years ago.

The longer back you go, the less you have to worry about what people think.

S) Risk

Notice that almost all of these rules are about where the boundaries are. Most people play it too safe.

When you are really risking something and the reader senses that (and they WILL sense it), then you know you are in good territory. If you aren’t risking something, then I’m moving on. I know I’m on the right track if after I post something someone tweets, “OMFG.”

T) Be funny

You can be all of the above and be funny at the same time.

When I went to India I was brutalized by my first few yoga classes (actually every yoga class). And I was intimidated by everyone around me. They were like yoga superheroes and I felt like a fraud around them. So I cried, and hopefully people laughed.

It was also a case where I didn’t have to dig into my past but I had an experience that was happening to me right then. How do you be funny? First rule of funny: ugly people are funny. I’m naturally ugly so its easy. Make yourself as ugly as possible. Nobody wants to read that you are beautiful and doing great in life.

U) The last line needs to go BOOM!

Your article is meaningless unless the last line KILLS.

Read the book of short stories “Jesus’ Son” by Denis Johnson. It’s the only way to learn how to do a last line. The last line should take you all the way back to the first line and then “BOOM!”

V) Use a lot of periods

Forget commas and semicolons. A period makes people pause. Your sentences should be strong enough that you want people to pause and think about it. This will also make your sentences shorter. Short sentences are good.

W) Write every day

This is a must. Writing is spiritual practice. You are diving inside of yourself and cleaning out the toxins. If you don’t do it every day, you lose the ability. If you do it every day, then slowly you find out where all the toxins are. And the cleaning can begin.

X) Write with the same voice you talk in

You’ve spent your whole life learning how to communicate with that voice. Why change it when you communicate with text?

Y) Deliver value with every sentence

Even on a tweet or Facebook status update. Deliver poetry and value with every word. Else, be quiet.

Z) Take what everyone thinks and explore the opposite

Don’t disagree just to disagree. But explore. Turn the world upside down. Guess what? There are people living in China. Plenty of times you’ll find value where nobody else did.

AA) Have lots of ideas

I discuss this in “How to be the Luckiest Man Alive” in the Daily Practice section.

Your idea muscle atrophies within days if you don’t exercise it. Then what do you do? You need to exercise it every day until it hurts. Else no ideas.

BB) Sleep eight hours a day

Go to sleep before 9pm at least 4 days a week. And stretch while taking deep breaths before you write. We supposedly use only 5% of our brain. You need to use 6% at least to write better than everyone else. So make sure your brain is getting as much healthy oxygen as possible. Too many people waste valuable writing or resting time by chattering until all hours of the night.

CC) Don’t write if you’re upset at someone

Then the person you are upset at becomes your audience. You want to love and flirt with your audience so they can love you back.

DD) Use “said” instead of any other word

Don’t use “he suggested” or “he bellowed,” just “he said.” We’ll figure it out if he suggested something.

EE) Paint or draw.

Keep exercising other creative muscles.

FF) Let it sleep

Whatever you are working on, sleep on it. Then wake up, stretch, coffee, read, and look again.

Rewrite. Take out every other sentence.

GG) Then take out every other sentence again.

Or something like that.

Sanket didn’t want to go to grad school after we graduated. He had another plan. Lets go to Thailand, he said. And become monks in a Buddhist monastery for a year. We can date Thai women whenever we aren’t begging for food, he said. It will be great and we’ll get life experience.

It sounded good to me.

But then he got accepted to the University of Wisconsin and got a PhD. Now he lives in India and works for Oracle. And as for me…

I don’t know what the hell happened to me.
