Physical Intimacy Prompts (for when words just aren’t enough)

Resting their head on their partner's shoulder after a long, exhausting day, they feel the warmth radiating from them, a silent promise of safety.

As they binge-watch their favorite show, one absentmindedly plays with the other’s fingers, the simple act of touch speaking volumes in the quiet moments.

Surprising their partner with a hug from behind, they wrap their arms around them, grounding them in a whirlwind of stress and chaos.

In the middle of a serious conversation, one gently kisses the other’s forehead, breaking the tension with a soft gesture of love and reassurance.

They intertwine their legs under a blanket, sharing a cozy night in, creating a warmth that feels almost electric.

With fingertips, one traces lazy patterns on the other’s back, a soothing rhythm that doesn’t require any words.

When one senses the other is feeling overwhelmed, they pull them into their lap, offering comfort through the simple act of holding them tight.

One cups the other’s face gently, thumbs brushing against their cheekbones, locking eyes for just a heartbeat longer than usual.

Falling asleep with their head on their partner's chest, they’re lulled by the steady sound of their heartbeat, a perfect lullaby.

Mid-conversation, one brushes a stray hair from the other’s face, using the moment to connect through soft, tender touch.

How To Be Cute

It's been a while since I have noted ideas for more accurate Fae characters. And yes, you read the title right. I am giving you ideas for a realistic, more-than-meets-the-eye, cute character. Or use it for yourself I don't care, go nuts.

A little more quiet. Cute is not loud. Cute is not always chaotic. Cute is cute even if they just sit on a corner and minding their own business, be it staring at the plants on the sidewalk or gazing at the stars. Cute has glints of innocence in their eyes and is cute even just staring at you.

More than words. If I hear one more person mispronouncing so many words intentionally just to sound cute I may explode. But cute is caring. So voice your concerns. Say those small questions. Let out those naive concerns without screaming them out.

Not mean. Cute is more than pouts. Cute is more than a small voice screaming into your ear. Cute is caring. Cute is nice. Cute is nice to everyone and will try to correct themselves when they are hating. Cute has a heart and they are not afraid to use it. Cute is not rash and tries their best to never say a dirty word, not because they think it's bad, either they are just not aware of the word, they think it's unnecessary, or both.

Cozy. Let out those plush animals. Warm blanket. Cup of chocolate. Soothing music. ASMR (Well if it suits your fancy). Do this without the intention of showing off. Have a "protocol" ready when you get broken-hearted. Just do it for yourself. Do it alone. Enjoy time alone. Play with pets. Make sure you're always comfortable (not at the expense of others though). Take a break from people if you need to. That is self-care. Self-care is cute.

Gently Unmasked. Tears are not weak and as you don't overdo them, you're fine. When you feel touched by something, show it. If you find something adorable, show it. But I know we as a society has been raised not allowing ourselves to show unmasked/unfiltered emotions in public until it's already a known universal collective experience. Start when you are alone, and keep doing it until it becomes natural to you.

Innocent. Let yourself be oblivious. It's fine if you don't get that someone is flirting you. It's fine if you don't get that innuendo. It's fine if you are what everyone is afraid of, single. It doesn't matter cause you know why? You are happy with life anyway. Contented with friends. Family. Animals, what have you. You live a cozy life, why desire so much for flirting and innuendos from other people?

Contented. Feel enough. Cute does not share the adult desire of wanting everything. Cute is not greedy. Cute shares, even. Cute knows does what they can with what they have and is happy enough about it. Cute doesn't need to envy because they are already happy, and looking forward with another day, and you can see it in the joy and hope in their eyes.

Has an inner child. Do not deny your inner child. Find the most adorable things you can find in life and surround yourself with them (yes it includes bugs if you find bugs interesting). Let your interests wonder. Learn about the things you like. Pursue with your heart.

Wholesome. Cute appreciates wholesome. It's not exclusive though. When cute sees unfamiliar things and innuendos, they are just confused, but never shows ick about it.

Nice beyond cues. Cute doesn't need a cue to be nice. They are decent beyond social cues, and they are kind just because. They do nice things from the heart. And they don't care about the public norm because they are not so aware of it.

Hoping. Hope and innocence run side by side. Once you learn to have hopes you can immediately trigger your innocence. Not everything has to be sad and tragic. Not everyone will hurt you. Not everything you're going to do is going to fail.

Uses ways to convey emotions through messages, but never overdoes it. The only things in emojis that you can use most times are 🥺 and the smiling version of it. Maybe some 🤣 too. The rest is emoticons or kaomojis. But do not overdo them, as it looks unnatural.

Soft but not whiny. Cute is soft and fragile, but doesn't whine all the time. It just minds its own business while looking very "smol" about it. Whining is noisy. Noisy is not cute.

Modestly styled. There's a fine line between being "innocent cute" and "adult cute". We are talking about innocent cute here. Don't show so much skin. Wear cozy and modest clothing. Any color would do, even black, as long as it gives an innocent vibe to your being. Feel yourself in soft fabric shirts and pants/skirts. Wear that adorable little hair ornament you have. Show the flowiness/softness of your hair. Keep the makeup light.

Hygge. Whether or not you know the word for it, enjoying your life within the simple and cozy things and spending time with those you love and those you appreciate is a good thing. It will allow you to feel wholesome and therefore act nicely with the world. Nice is cute.

For me, cute is sctually more of a vibe and personality than anything. The style is just a plus. Also, cute is not and will never be limited to skinny. Skinny does not equal cute and never will, and I will bludgeon whoever says otherwise. Cute is not something with a specific style that you have to do even when you don't like said style. And cute as a personality doesn't revolve around clothing, trinkets, or body types.

I might add more here if I ever remember any else, but for now this will be my list. Enjoy and use as you will.

Meet Cutes

In a music store, two strangers end up playing the same instrument and start an impromptu duet. 

During a city-wide scavenger hunt, two competitors team up by chance when they're both looking for the same item. 

In a language class, two people partner up to practice conversational skills. As they fumble through words and phrases, they find that the language of love is universal and needs no translation.

In a cooking class, two strangers end up sharing a kitchen station. While cooking together, they discover they have similar tastes, not just in food but also in life.

On a rainy day, a person shares their umbrella with a stranger caught in the rain. They find refuge in a nearby café and end up spending the entire afternoon chatting, laughing, and getting to know each other.

At an open mic night, two performers are scheduled to play back-to-back. They have picked the same song, and the crowd insists they perform a duet.

Two people mistakenly board the wrong bus and find themselves lost in an unfamiliar part of town. They navigate together, and in the process, they also find something they didn't know they were looking for - love.

In an art museum, two strangers find themselves captivated by the same painting. They end up touring the entire museum together, sharing interpretations and discussing their favorite artists.

Both characters end up on the rooftop of a building seeking some peace and quiet. They share the stunning city view and strike up a conversation that goes from city life to their dreams and aspirations.

On a beach vacation, one of the characters doodles something in the sand, and the other character spots it and adds a playful message in response. This sand-sculpting exchange becomes a delightful tradition during their stay.

A robot, designed to serve humans and protect them, finally sacrificed too much of themself that they cannot go on any longer.

They laid stomach down, with their right arm resting in front of their face, whereas the left half of their body is missing.

Their arm opens up a compartment inside, a little music box plays as it is meant to be a calming signal that the robot is near death.

They’ve accepted that their time is up, and now stares at the music box that plays a sweet melancholy while their battery slowly drains.

Heaven may not be waiting on the other side for this robot, but at least they left the world better than they found it.

I haven't posted in awhile, but I heard the word Injury and liked the cadence of the word. There's an idiom called Insult to Injury and this is how this illustration came. I thought of it as potential visual novel cover or poster. But I'm truly a terrible writer. So I hope my art can be a spark towards your storytelling.

Sometimes, I Write Beginnings I Never Use (Dark Story Prompts)

Now and then, I write things that could serve as the start of a story, though I never actually use them. Here, I’m sharing a few that lean toward the darker side. Feel free to use them as prompts, and have fun with them.

The house had been empty for decades, or so they said. But when I stepped inside, the floor creaked underfoot as if it remembered every step ever taken, every secret ever buried.

There was a strange comfort in the darkness, a place where shadows whispered the truths the daylight refused to see.

The wind outside howled, but the sound inside was worse—soft footsteps echoing through the empty halls.

I thought it was just a nightmare, until I woke up with the dirt still under my fingernails.

They said I wouldn’t feel a thing, that I’d be free once it was over. But as the needle slid in, I realized I was still very much alive—and trapped.
