#sorry for being a little late again#guess who accidentally fell asleep yet again#on a different note we had a christmas in august thing at my work today and we did secret santa as a part of it#the person i had seemed to really like what i got them which is a relief#and my secret santa did a great job and actually managed to get one of the books on my list#if we were villains by m l rio#(i was worried cos i only put books on my list and i was afraid who got me wouldnt be able to get one in time so i think i lucked out)#and on top of that a coworker and i talked for over two hours after work about some similar (negative) experiences weve been having lately#and we made a plan of how to address them with our executive director cos they sure as hell need to be addressed#its honestly just all a mess but im hoping to make postive changes for our organisation and if i have to make waves to get there i will#anyway for the prompt#this one is a bit straightforward in terms of there is a pretty obvious interpretation of 'raspy' 'whisper'#(although you could choose a different definition of 'whisper' to go with)#but interpreting the meaning or purpose of the 'whisper' being 'raspy' is where the creativity stems from#is it horror? is it tragedy? is it comedy (via misunderstanding)? et cetera#im probably going to lean more horror or tragedy myself but we will just have to see#thanks for reading#writing#writer#creative writing#writing prompt#writeblr#trying to be a writeblr at least

i think out of everyone James' story is the saddest. He was so full of life and potential but the second Richard held him under that water, he changed. A part of him died that night.
Doomed by the narrative that one
#and he was still the only one who wanted to save richard#if we were villains#m l rio#james farrow#richard stirling#oliver marks

"What is more important, that Caesar is assassinated or that he is assassinated by his intimate friends?"
- M. L. Rio, If We Were Villains
Bunny's death was the first that came to my mind after reading this quote, because what is more important, that Bunnym who was rude and had many offensive beliefs, was killed or that he was killed by his intimate friends?
What were Bunny's and Richard's last thoughts? When Bunny was pushed and when Richard regained his consciousness, what other did they see than the betrayal by their closest to them.

i love how tsh and iwwv both have a group of students who killed someone but in tsh theyre all fucking insufferable except for one (maybe two) and then they're all lovable in iwwv EXCEPT ONE (richard I will haunt you in the afterlife)
that being said, i will always prefer iwwv bcs i love them all (and they study the more fun thing)
oh and i forgot one group is extremely rich w one poor dude while the other is poor with one rich GIRL (meredith they could never make me hate you)

Just finished If we were villains. Currently banging my head on the table 'cause James didn't get the burial he wanted bc his body was lost. Also, the tsh and iwwv parallels are CRAZY.
