Tamasin probably wrote in her diary the first time she met Jack Barak: “dear diary, just met the most pasty-looking motherfucker with the most devastatingly pathetic puppy dog eyes, floofy black hair, and surprisingly large codpiece I’ve ever seen in my life. I have to have him.

p.s. his friend’s kind of a jerk but I like him too💕”

OLD FOSSIL LMFAOOO

[sapphire-heart-tippy]

Something cute that happened recently that I wanna share!:

My boyfriend and I were out and about, gonna go to this new little cafe that opened up (their lemonade was delicious!)

I was wearing a cute blue dress, had on blue eyeshadow with a little glitter on my cheeks, sparkly nail polish, black and blue knee high socks, and I put on some perfume that's also body glitter! ✨

A little girl saw me, happily ran up to me as fast as she could, then waved to me and said, "hello!" Then my boyfriend and I waved and said "hi there!" back. Then the little girl happily ran back to her mom and said, "I talked to the fairy over there, mommy!"

It's confirmed, I am a blue fairy 🧚‍♂️✨

💍💍💍 (Go wild, talk about anyone !!! )

Anyone anywhere all at once!

Lyn/Zaraki. Cause of course. (that and I don't think there are many people out there who can legit handle her? This is including OCs... I don't think I've run into anyone who'd wanna ship with her?)

Leyre/Nnoitra - Thiiiis one's on going, antagonistic and super fun. She just loves teasing him and getting it back in spades.

Shinji/Rose - Cause these two lovers of music should dance together and hold hands and kiss- I think they'd be kinda sweet together! (And I think Shinji wouldn't have cut his hair... Hmm.)

ANYWAYS I’m working on a little bottle charm, here’s how it looks rn

[chloeworships]

Build up your reputation by being trustworthy, forthright, honest and respectful. People lacking integrity won’t make it far with people like Beyonce who is well respected in the game.

Also no one wants to eat from an establishment that serve’s stale food or expired products, babes. Save yourself the embarrassment and have things well planned out. Set a standard for yourself and your brand THEN you will attract clients, good contacts/jobs, and repeat customers. The LORD is trying to help someone here, cause someone like B is about to PULL UP 🩵✨😁

Opportunity of a lifetime ✨

PS. I heard

“Texas”

PPS: Coincidentally, I purchased a new car air freshener and it smelled ok but it was too overpowering over time and began to make me nauseous 🤢 Perhaps it was stale/expired. It began to smell weird. I didn’t see an expiration date when I purchased it. My cheap self bought it from the dollar store 💲😂

I tell you this because selling expired food and items has consequences including making people ILL 🤧 and then there goes your license and a possible lawsuit or worse, death. The LORD told me to share this experience.

This is important to me too because I like connecting people with people aka pluggin 🔌 and word of mouth is still the best marketing tool one can have 🔧

For some of you, you’re in ministry and a very prominent person or perhaps First Lady or woman pastor may want to connect 👒🩵 — this is a good person by the way. One full of integrity and is GIFTED. Favour is all over this person 🥰 I know this is someone EVERYONE in your industry wants to rub shoulders with.

Also, know your client. If you know a certain celebrity has a public (or private) feud with another celebrity, don’t compare that person with the intent to flatter the other. They could take offence. In customer service we call this KYC’s 😂 Don’t put your foot in your mouth.

Someone is trying TOO HARD to impress a public figure. It’s coming across as you being DISINGENUOUS… in other words FAKE and people can see through it. No need to apply too much pressure in your overexcitement. You can be a fan but this is 💲✨BUSINESS✨💲not love and not fun. These people don’t play about their money NOR their reputations. Be a PROFESSIONAL and beware of people who aren’t sincere, my loves. Just because it LOOKS GOOD, doesn’t mean it’s not ROTTEN FRUIT on the inside 🍏

God loves you this is why he’s telling you this. Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know. But now, you know 😂

This is for event planners too because I heard

“Party Packagers”

Recall I was left SCRAMBLING to get my products packaged and ready for B 😭 and I only had ONE BOX 📦 what if she wanted 50? 100? 100,000??? 👀

This kind of reminds of the event planner in the show Power. She required the best of the best of clubs to host her upscale celebrity events and EVERYTHING had to be meticulously arranged. She specifically didn’t want BAD PRESS for obvious reasons (bad PR). This is what is required when working alongside public figures babes.

Someone could not want to associate with you because of who you’re associated with. Keep that in mind also.

May the LORD be with you and grant you success.

PS. God doesn’t need us to be perfect, he just needs us to be real.

[charlotte-liddel]

// @lostusagis asked:

''So basically what you're saying is that......

I need to kill you.''

(im sorry that's his solution for everything)

"I mean you're welcome to try if you want to experience the wonders of gravity magic, or a black hole. I do have some self preservation instinct about me." Charlotte was being rather casual as she spoke, before making a chaotic cluster of glittering butterflies above her hand, "Ooooor... I could also just bedazzle you so hard with a glitter bomb you'll be finding it in places you didn't know you had like fine sand."

She's not beyond bouncing threats right back; even if she's being more playful about it and not taking him too seriously.

25 Prose Tips For Writers 🖋️✨ Part 1

Hey there!📚✨

As writers, we all know that feeling when we read a sentence so beautifully crafted that it takes our breath away. We pause, reread it, and marvel at how the author managed to string those words together in such a captivating way. Well, today I'm going to unpack a few secrets to creating that same magic in your own writing. These same tips I use in my writing.

But before I begin, please remember that writing is an art form, and like any art, it's subjective. What sounds beautiful to one person might not resonate with another. The tips I'm about to share are meant to be tools in your writer's toolkit, not rigid rules. Feel free to experiment, play around, and find what works best for your unique voice and style.

Power of Rhythm 🎵

One of the most overlooked aspects of beautiful prose is rhythm. Just like music, writing has a flow and cadence that can make it pleasing to the ear (or mind's ear, in this case). Here are some ways to incorporate rhythm into your writing:

a) Vary your sentence length: Mix short, punchy sentences with longer, flowing ones. This creates a natural ebb and flow that keeps your reader engaged.

Example: "The sun set. Darkness crept in, wrapping the world in its velvet embrace. Stars winked to life, one by one, until the sky was a glittering tapestry of light."

b) Use repetition strategically: Repeating words or phrases can create a hypnotic effect and emphasize important points.

Example: "She walked through the forest, through the shadows, through the whispers of ancient trees. Through it all, she walked with purpose."

c) Pay attention to the stressed syllables: In English, we naturally stress certain syllables in words. Try to end important sentences with stressed syllables for a stronger impact.

Example: "Her heart raced as she approached the door." (Stronger ending) vs. "She approached the door as her heart raced." (Weaker ending)

Paint with Words 🎨

Beautiful prose often creates vivid imagery in the reader's mind. Here are some techniques to help you paint with words:

a) Use specific, concrete details: Instead of general descriptions, zoom in on particular details that bring a scene to life.

Example: Instead of: "The room was messy." Try: "Crumpled papers overflowed from the waste bin, books lay spine-up on every surface, and a half-eaten sandwich peeked out from under a stack of wrinkled clothes."

b) Appeal to all five senses: Don't just describe what things look like. Include smells, sounds, textures, and tastes to create a fully immersive experience.

Example: "The market bustled with life. Colorful fruits glistened in the morning sun, their sweet aroma mingling with the earthy scent of fresh herbs. Vendors called out their wares in sing-song voices, while customers haggled in animated tones. Sarah's fingers brushed against the rough burlap sacks of grain as she passed, and she could almost taste the tang of ripe oranges on her tongue."

c) Use unexpected comparisons: Fresh similes and metaphors can breathe new life into descriptions.

Example: Instead of: "The old man was very thin." Try: "The old man was a whisper of his former self, as if life had slowly erased him, leaving behind only the faintest outline."

Choose Your Words Wisely 📚

Every word in your prose should earn its place. Here are some tips for selecting the right words:

a) Embrace strong verbs: Replace weak verb + adverb combinations with single, powerful verbs.

Example: Instead of: "She walked quickly to the store." Try: "She hurried to the store." or "She dashed to the store."

b) Be specific: Use precise nouns instead of general ones.

Example: Instead of: "She picked up the flower." Try: "She plucked the daisy."

c) Avoid clichés: Clichés can make your writing feel stale. Try to find fresh ways to express common ideas.

Example: Instead of: "It was raining cats and dogs." Try: "The rain fell in sheets, transforming the streets into rushing rivers."

Play with Sound 🎶

The sound of words can contribute greatly to the beauty of your prose. Here are some techniques to make your writing more musical:

a) Alliteration: Repeating initial consonant sounds can create a pleasing effect.

Example: "She sells seashells by the seashore."

b) Assonance: Repeating vowel sounds can add a subtle musicality to your prose.

Example: "The light of the bright sky might ignite a fight."

c) Onomatopoeia: Using words that sound like what they describe can make your writing more immersive.

Example: "The bees buzzed and hummed as they flitted from flower to flower."

Art of Sentence Structure 🏗️

How you structure your sentences can greatly affect the flow and impact of your prose. Here are some tips:

a) Use parallel structure: When listing items or actions, keep the grammatical structure consistent.

Example: "She came, she saw, she conquered."

b) Try periodic sentences: Build suspense by putting the main clause at the end of the sentence.

Example: "Through storm and strife, across oceans and continents, despite all odds and obstacles, they persevered."

c) Experiment with sentence fragments: While not grammatically correct, sentence fragments can be powerful when used intentionally for emphasis or style.

Example: "She stood at the edge of the cliff. Heart racing. Palms sweating. Ready to jump."

Power of White Space ⬜

Sometimes, what you don't say is just as important as what you do. Use paragraph breaks and short sentences to create pauses and emphasize important moments.

Example: "He opened the letter with trembling hands.

Inside, a single word.

'Yes.'"

Read Your Work Aloud 🗣️

One of the best ways to polish your prose is to read it aloud. This helps you catch awkward phrasing, repetitive words, and rhythm issues that you might miss when reading silently.

Edit Ruthlessly ✂️

Beautiful prose often comes from rigorous editing. Don't be afraid to cut words, sentences, or even entire paragraphs if they don't serve the overall beauty and effectiveness of your writing.

Study the Masters 📖

Please! Read widely and pay attention to how your favorite authors craft their prose. Analyze sentences you find particularly beautiful and try to understand what makes them work.

Practice, Practice, Practice 💪

Like any skill, writing beautiful prose takes practice. Set aside time to experiment with different techniques and styles. Try writing exercises focused on specific aspects of prose, like describing a scene using only sound words, or rewriting a simple sentence in ten different ways.

Remember, that developing your prose style is a journey, not a destination. It's okay if your first draft isn't perfect – that's what editing is for! The most important thing is to keep writing, keep experimenting, and keep finding joy in the process.

Here are a few more unique tips to help you on your prose-perfecting journey:

Create a Word Bank 🏦

Keep a notebook or digital file where you collect beautiful words, phrases, or sentences you come across in your reading. This can be a great resource when you're looking for inspiration or the perfect word to complete a sentence.

Use the "Rule of Three" 3️⃣

There's something inherently satisfying about groups of three. Use this to your advantage in your writing, whether it's in listing items, repeating phrases, or structuring your paragraphs.

Example: "The old house groaned, creaked, and whispered its secrets to the night."

Power of Silence 🤫

Sometimes, the most powerful prose comes from what's left unsaid. Use implication and subtext to add depth to your writing.

Example: Instead of: "She was heartbroken when he left." Try: "She stared at his empty chair across the breakfast table, the untouched coffee growing cold."

Play with Perspective 👁️

Experiment with different points of view to find the most impactful way to tell your story. Sometimes, an unexpected perspective can make your prose truly memorable.

Example: Instead of describing a bustling city from a human perspective, try describing it from the point of view of a bird soaring overhead, or a coin passed from hand to hand.

Use Punctuation Creatively 🖋️

While it's important to use punctuation correctly, don't be afraid to bend the rules a little for stylistic effect. Em dashes, ellipses, and even unconventional use of periods can add rhythm and emphasis to your prose.

Example: "She hesitated—heart pounding, palms sweating—then knocked on the door."

Create Contrast 🌓

Juxtapose different elements in your writing to create interest and emphasis. This can be in terms of tone, pacing, or even the literal elements you're describing.

Example: "The delicate butterfly alighted on the rusted barrel of the abandoned tank."

Use Synesthesia 🌈

Synesthesia is a condition where one sensory experience triggers another. While not everyone experiences this, using synesthetic descriptions in your writing can create vivid and unique imagery.

Example: "The violin's melody tasted like honey on her tongue."

Experiment with Sentence Diagrams 📊

Remember those sentence diagrams from school? Try diagramming some of your favorite sentences from literature. This can give you insight into how complex sentences are structured and help you craft your own.

Create a Sensory Tour 🚶‍♀️

When describing a setting, try taking your reader on a sensory tour. Move from one sense to another, creating a full, immersive experience.

Example: "The old bookstore welcomed her with the musty scent of aging paper. Dust motes danced in the shafts of sunlight piercing the high windows. Her fingers trailed over the cracked leather spines as she moved deeper into the stacks, the floorboards creaking a greeting beneath her feet. In the distance, she could hear the soft ticking of an ancient clock and taste the faint bitterness of old coffee in the air."

Use Active Voice (Most of the Time) 🏃‍♂️

While passive voice has its place, active voice generally creates more dynamic and engaging prose. Compare these two sentences:

Passive: "The ball was thrown by the boy." Active: "The boy threw the ball."

Magic of Ordinary Moments ✨

Sometimes, the most beautiful prose comes from describing everyday occurrences in a new light. Challenge yourself to find beauty and meaning in the mundane.

Example: "The kettle's whistle pierced the quiet morning, a clarion call heralding the day's first cup of possibility."

Play with Time ⏳

Experiment with how you present the passage of time in your prose. You can stretch a moment out over several paragraphs or compress years into a single sentence.

Example: "In that heartbeat between his question and her answer, universes were born and died, civilizations rose and fell, and their entire future hung in the balance."

Use Anaphora for Emphasis 🔁

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences. It can create a powerful rhythm and emphasize key points.

Example: "She was the sunrise after the longest night. She was the first bloom of spring after a harsh winter. She was the cool breeze on a sweltering summer day. She was hope personified, walking among us."

Create Word Pictures 🖼️

Try to create images that linger in the reader's mind long after they've finished reading. These don't have to be elaborate – sometimes a simple, unexpected combination of words can be incredibly powerful.

Example: "Her laughter was a flock of birds taking flight."

Use Rhetorical Devices 🎭

Familiarize yourself with rhetorical devices like chiasmus, antithesis, and oxymoron. These can add depth and interest to your prose.

Example of chiasmus: "Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy

Even the most accomplished authors continue to hone their craft with each new piece they write. Don't be discouraged if your first attempts don't sound exactly like you imagined – keep practicing, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep writing.

Your unique voice and perspective are what will ultimately make your prose beautiful. These techniques are simply tools to help you express that voice more effectively. Use them, adapt them, or discard them as you see fit. The most important thing is to write in a way that feels authentic to you and brings you joy.
