taylor swift - the tortured poets department as plots pt 1

fortnight

the two met by accident, but the draw between them was too much to deny. and now it's a whirlwind affair. that was until muse b decides that they can't be unfaithful to their partner and ends things with muse a. now muse a cannot get them out of their head, and finds themselves finding ways back into muse b's life. and muse b can't keep turning muse a away.

fresh out the slammer

troubled teens turned young adults, muse a and b were always bad news together. that was until muse a finds themselves tossed in jail, taking the fall for muse b in the process. muse b promises to wait for muse a. but ten years is a long time. once released muse a finds their way back to muse b, only to discover that muse b is a completely person - married, uppity, nothing like the person they had once fallen for. could they coax muse b back to their old ways? can muse a step it up and win back their love?

florida!!!

for whatever reason, maybe a crime or forbidden love or need for a new start, muse a convinced muse b to runaway with them. they find themselves in a small town in florida, taking on new identities and attempting to start over. but the past always has a way of catching up doesn't it?

i look in people's windows

muse a and b met one summer, a brief fling. but muse a can't stop thinking about them, muse b plagues their thoughts. they know the two are meant to be together, that their stories aren't over yet. and so muse a continues to make muse b care, but continually fails. that is until muse a is about to give up...and muse b is there again. who knows what happens next?

the manuscript

two artists (actors, writers, painters etc) have been together for years, both struggling to make it big. they finally work on a project together - but as soon as they finish it their relationship dissolves. they promised each other they would only publish their project together so it takes a backseat. that is until a few years later, muse b is desperate for new material, and finds their old project with muse a. now they publish it (a book, movie etc) and are launched into fame. everything seems great until muse a shows up again, hurt and angry and demanding that muse b share.

𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢.

mother’s daughter: muse a has had a pretty rough childhood. when her mother was a teen, she got pregnant early with muse a and was tormented relentlessly. it made her snap and attempt to kill the girls who were making fun of her. in the end, she was apprehended and put in a mental health facility to live out the rest of her days. fast forward 20+ years and muse b is the child of the ‘final girl’. everyone thought that the baby had not been born, but muse a is out there, terrorizing muse b and their friends because of what happened to her mother. she could be hiding in plain sight, being friends with the group (and has been for years) or is a stranger.

bury a friend: after a freak accident, muse a and muse b accidentally kill their mutual friend. whether or not it’s an actual accident is up to you. muse a goes completely numb, and muse b is picking up the pieces, trying to figure out how to get away from the guilt. muse a ends up having a taste for killing, and muse b is left trying to clean up their messes so they don’t get caught. 

twisted teeth: muse a is part of a coven of prominent vampires, who don’t often associate with other beings… especially humans. however, muse a is a bit of a rebel and likes to blend in with humans as a bit of a game. but when they meet muse b, everything changes. there is a primal desire to bond in a way that muse a has never felt before. now muse a is trying to figure out how to come clean to muse b, all the while trying not to feed from them. 

maneater: two cannibals who fall in love, but neither of them know that they eat people and their taste seems to be for each other. think of mr. and mrs. smith, but instead of having a hit on each other… they’re just cannibals. 

writer in the dark: muse a is a wanderer, going from place to place and just living life with nothing holding them back. muse b is a beautiful recluse, potentially some sort of demon/witch, who lives in a cabin in the middle of the woods. muse a ends up stumbling upon this cabin, and ends up getting locked in there with muse b. there is no way out, so muse a begins to learn how to live with muse b and being their muse.

rhiannon: muse a is a historian studying the hauntings of an old ghost in a small town, and has moved into a cheap mansion on the hill. newcomers will be bewitched by the ghost’s song. muse b is the ghost in question, burned by a scorned lover so she wouldn’t say his secrets. the ghost was murdered in the mansion that muse a is living in, and only comes to life when a resident is there. muse a finds themselves bewitched by the song and voice of muse b, who has been materializing in front of them. except it seems that the two are falling in love in an unconventional way. 

bring me to life: muse a and muse b were newly weds when muse a died suddenly. muse b did everything they could to save them, and was greeted by a demon after a last ditch effort to bring their love back to life. they do a ritual, and end up beginning muse a back to life… except something is wrong. muse a has some sort of bloodlust, and muse b has to figure out how to satiate it as they navigate living new life.

[angelsdvsts]

someone give me a plot where muse a happens to be someone famous (actor, athlete, etc) who has a bad reputation. enters muse b who is a pr manager, who got hired to deal with them. the two gets off on the wrong foot, but thing is they're stuck with each other until muse b's contract end. they're forced to be around one another and even have to share the same room in the hotel as they travel. one thing leads to the other and they begin developing feelings for one another. muse a then finds out some horrible life changing news and cuts all ties with muse b, even getting them fired. however, one night muse a gets drunk and calls muse b telling them how much they miss them.

plots baseados em taylor swift : speak now ( taylor’s version ) !

voltando aqui para mais uma listinha da saga : plots baseados em taylor swift ! dessa vez com o speak now ( ou fala logo para os intimos ) . ‘tô trazendo para vocês uma lista de sete plots baseados nessa era , seguindo a mesma lógica da lista passada ( que caso não lembre ou não tenha visto é só clicar nessa frase <3 ) : todos foram criados a partir de vozes da minha cabeça sendo assim pode ter o total de zero lógica para algumas pessoas ! espero que possam gostar , utilizar e se divertir com as ideias propostas , pois todas tiveram carinho durante sua escrita . e irei pedir para , caso achem úteis , darem like e reblogarem , se for possível , é claro ❤️ e , ah , se quiserem podem sugerir os próximos álbuns ou músicas , sintam - se a vontade , porque eu sou extremamente indecisa e quero fazer tudo de uma vez !

sparks fly — nascer em uma família com crenças enraizadas , para muse a , não era difícil e sim parte de sua história . há muito a rigidez não se tratava de religião imposta a si , mas sim de uma necessidade constante do controle de seus parentes para com todos os âmbitos de sua vida . não importava o motivo , se tudo iniciara por ser a única prole nascida de seus pais ou pela necessidade de controle dos progenitores , entretanto era mais que claro que a vida de muse a fora planejada e cronometrada como bem entenderam , moldada a perfeição de seus pais . por tal motivo , o cúmulo do absurdo seria o desejo de viver por si , mudando o rumo do que muitos tentaram ajustar . o cúmulo seria se deixar cair ao mundo , se aproximar de pessoas tais quais  muse b . o interessante da história é que não era apenas o desrespeito as regras básicas que faziam com que muse b soasse interessante e sim a liberdade de poder ser quem era , de poder agir como bem entendesse e de fazer , mesmo por alguns instante , fazer com que muse a se sentisse da mesma forma . seus os encontros ocorriam durante tempestades , os seus beijos ? escondidos atrás dos portões da faculdade . a adrenalina que surgia em muse a . e o medo constante dominava a si , principalmente em saber que nunca , em hipótese alguma , aquele tão errado iria se tornar o certo em sua vida . 

back to december — as melhores escolhas nunca são as que o coração anseia  . para muse a , descobrir isso foi fácil e rápido do que desejava . muse b era uma pessoa doce , gentil e carinhosa . exatamente tudo que muse a almejou por toda a vida . então . . . por que ? por que quando se aproximou , nada em muse b fez seu coração bater da maneira certa ? por que as fagulhas não explodiam em um toque ? por que , ao invés de eu te amo , quando abriu a boca , as palavras que saíram foram : acho que deveríamos terminar ? e , por que motivo seu coração doía tanto agora , ao ver muse b realmente indo embora e seguindo com sua vida ? o coração partido não era seu , a dor não era sua . mesmo assim as lembranças voltavam cada vez mais fortes , a saudades do perfume , do sorriso e de como se sentia acolhido . porém implorar não funciona mais . um coração partido não se cura fácil e muse a terá que entender isso para tentar recuperar muse b , caso seja isso que realmente queira e não apenas um egoísmo balançando em seu peito .

speak now — desde que se lembro por gente , muse a teve uma paixonite mais que clara por muse b . consegue se ver ainda criança roubando flores no parque para entregar ao amado . acreditava que , se este não havia notado a queda , a culpa era integralmente dele . porém deve admitir que anos passados sem confessar-se não havia sido uma boa escolha . principalmente quando muse b iniciou um namoro que findou em muse a sendo convidada para ser madrinha de casamento . há quem diga que isso chegava a ser cruel , a melhor amiga do noivo , parecia até mesmo um clichê . muse a , sem a menor dúvida , deveria ter exposto o que sentia antes , gastado o tempo que usou escrevendo em seu diário para olhar na cara de muse b e dizer : oi , eu estou aqui e gosto de você . entretanto nunca fora corajosa o bastante , pelo menos não até ouvir o padre dizer : fale agora ou cale - se para sempre . um gatilho, a ideia de nunca mais poder fazer algo para que muse b fosse seu , uma necessidade de humilhação pública ! sem ao menos perceber , muse a estava em pé encarando todos na sala , inclusive seus pais . por vários segundos — os quais pareceram eternos — a sua boca abriu e fechou até as palavras fluírem e deixarem todos horrorizados naquele altar . mas , a única pessoa que importava era uma , muse b . só que ele também estava . . . de boca aberta ? merda . o olhar que lhe rondava era felicidade ou horror ? bem , muse a nunca pode descobrir , afinal sua única reação foi fugir tão longe para que nunca mais pudesse ser achada .

the story of us — o relacionamento perfeito existe ? o amor a primeira vista , os dedos encostando e faiscando . se alguém algum dia perguntasse quem era sua alma gêmea , com certeza muse a responderia muse b . mas então por que a distância entre eles parece tão grande , mesmo nessa sala pequena ? términos não são fáceis ou bonitos . principalmente em um amor tão ardente e intenso . mesmo que muse a tente se aproximar , consertar as coisas , o orgulho de muse b conseguia ser tão grande ao ponto de nem enxergar o quanto esta a quebrar quem ama . a cada dia que passava , muse a ficava mais afundado na tristeza , na saudades . mas era tão sufocante , nunca ser correspondido em meio ao silêncio tão gritante . em sua última tentativa , a última batalha , tudo aquilo pelo que lutaram um dia , está sob as mãos de muse b . entretanto , a felicidade parece distante . e , encoberto de incertezas , ninguém consegue prever o findar dessa história .

enchanted — breves encontros , sorrisos trocados , memórias marcadas como tatuagens em seu peito . muse a sempre teve a crença que absolutamente tudo acontecia por algum motivo . até mesmo a grama que crescia em seu jardim ou a abelha que lhe picou quando tinha 4 anos e fez parar no hospital por 2 dias e meio . é claro que ter muse b a sua frente não teria sido diferente . em uma noite , após algumas taças de vinho servidas por garçons tão bem vestidos , muse a estava parada ao terraço tentando fugir da onda de curiosos que vinham lhe procurar . nunca havia desejado a fama que seus pais deram a si , nunca havia sentido como se o mundo fosse partir por um divórcio . porém manter a farsa por fora de si ser tornara um padrão . tentava manter a pose , tentava não desabar quando muse b chegou a perto de si . com um lencinho de papel e um sorriso doce , muse b fez com que muse a esquecesse a vida ao seu redor . enquanto a festa acontecia metros abaixo de si , o terraço virava seu local secreto , onde podiam rir , flertar e sentir o que seu peito desejasse . a conexão não esperada causou uma esperança a tempos não sentida . um desejo de novos encontros , uma vontade de que o tempo parasse para que a fantasia juvenil nunca mais acabasse .

better than revenge — ódios bem estruturados , vinganças banhadas na mais pura raiva , distância extremamente bem programada. muse a e muse b não conseguem se suportar , todos sabem disso . qualquer um que as conheçam , planejam distância máxima para que elas não se encontrem . alguns dizem que a origem desse ódio vem de um episódio passado , onde muse a “ roubou ” o namorado de muse b , que o levou de volta a casa 3 meses depois . é claro , ninguém fala da índole do homem , mas com certeza lembram de como as duas brigaram até serem separadas por policiais . entretanto , não é o que ocorreu na boate do dia 8 de julho , onde a bebida parecia deixar as duas um pouco alta e as luzes piscantes com certeza fizeram com que muse b esquecesse que aquela a qual estava enfiando a língua era sua maior inimiga da vida . provavelmente , por alguns instantes ela até tentou relutar mas . . .  por que a boca de muse a era tão macia ? e por que o corpo parecia tão estrategicamente junto ao seu ? é claro que , ao acordarem na mesma cama , iriam sair e fingir que nada aconteceu , iriam continuar vivendo ignorando que o ódio , no fundo , era um puro tesão e tentariam fervorosamente esquecer que a única vontade que mantinham naquele momento era repetir de novo e de novo o que havia acontecido .

 i can see you — ah , namoros proibidos são sempre tão emocionantes , não é ? os olhares pelos corredores , corações acelerados quando sente a aproximação tão desejada . muse a e muse b sabem muito bem como isso ocorre . ambos são atores iniciantes , em seu ápice de sucesso . tiveram a grande chance de estrearem em uma série com ��timos números de audiência , que lhe deram inúmero contratos . o problema ? há atuação que eles demonstram em frente as telas deveria ser só isso , atuação . entretanto o que mais pode acalentar corações jovens do que noites sozinhos estudando textos em seus camarins ? ou uma comida chinesa no hotel após uma viagem exaustiva de trabalho ? ou o beijo roubado na festa de comemoração pela ótima audiência que os dois tanto se esforçaram para ter . os mais velhos talvez achem que é apenas um prazer sexual , algo que irá passar com o final do show . mas não acreditam nisso , pois o sentimento que surgem em seus peitos , cabe apenas a eles . e por isso , não admitem a ninguém , vivendo sua felicidade as escuras , prontos para enfrentar o mundo para o seu segredo .

Hey gang. What if Indie Cross was a Dungeons and Dragons campaign?

[sophenelisse]

⋆˙⟡ — plot ideas !!

hey y'all!! i'm back at it again — meaning i'm bored, it's a dreary autumn, and i'm finding myself retreating back to cutsey fantasylands in my mind 🥰 listed below are a few plot ideas i've had in my notesapp for a while — as always, send an ask or a private message if you'd be interested in any of these up !! happy writing !!

childhood sweethearts (on the rocks)

a plot where muse a and muse b have been friends since childhood — here and there, they would have a one night stand, but never really allowed themselves to progress into anything more than just friends. now, as adults who are figuring out the dating scene isn’t as easy as their parents made it seem, muse a and muse b are seeing each other more and more frequently. eventually, muse a starts seeing someone new, and has less and less time for muse b. i’m talking jealousy, tension!!! muse b realizing maybe they’ve had feelings for muse a the whole time, muse a having to make tough decisions — either continue dating this new person or hurt muse b!!! i liiiiive for drama pls

childhood sweethearts (with a twist)

okay but a plot where close childhood friends reunite — except muse a was in love with muse b growing up, and muse b became muse a’s best friend’s high school sweetheart. muse a concealed their feelings for muse b all throughout their friendship, in high school & college, although both muses definitely had feelings & felt sparks for one another long before muse b started dating muse a’s best friend. despite the connection they’d felt, neither wanted to jeopardize any of the friendships between the three, and ultimately, muse b ended up married to muse a’s bff… except now, years later, muse a and muse b reunite at muse a’s best friend’s funeral. imagine the hurt of losing a loved one but having the comfort of yet another loved one?? blurred lines, tension, second-guesses…….

let me take care of you (southern charm)

okay so i’ve been kicking around a ranch hand plot where muse a is looking for help around the ranch they’ve just inherited due to a death in the family, and seeing as they’re just one person with lots of land, and virtually no knowledge on how to take care of it, it’s impossible to go it all on their own… enter muse b. muse b, a man who not only knows how to work the land but can take care of the ranch with ease, finds it impossible to not take care of muse a, while he's at it. just give me texan sunsets and lovers with low static music crooning in the background from some vinyl record please & ty

friends with benefits (with feelings)

a friends with benefits plot where muse a is dead-set, hellbent on not having a relationship and not getting too intimately involved with muse b; muse b has been in love with muse a for years, and muse a knows this, but still can’t bring themselves to get emotionally attached. i need tensionnnn and like, a lil toxicity ykwim??? for the angst omg 

will you come find me (after the after party?)

so hear me out — a plot where muse a and muse b met at a friend of a friend’s party & instantly hit it off. muse a is immediately infatuated with muse b — they laugh, talk, drink; they even make an incredible beer pong team. at some point during the night, muse a decides to put the moves on muse b. however, after leaving to get them some drinks, muse a comes back to find muse b kissing someone else… and to make it worse? it’s their boyfriend/girlfriend. tbh this plot could have the potential of a shakespearean comedy if we did it right akdjgh ok i'm talking messssssssyyyy 

you feel like home (but i’ve got a different address)

okay so i need a tense plot where muse a and muse b are soulmates, beyond the shadow of a doubt — but muse a is married to a nightmare of a spouse. little by little, they spend more time together one on one, but it’s getting increasingly harder for muse b to see muse a with their spouse, especially knowing how that spouse treats muse a. idk this is a rough plot/work in progress plot but i feel like it has potential to go somewhere!!!

— as always, send an ask or a private message if you'd be interested in any of these up!! happy writing 🥰🥰

✨ Visual novel! Getcha free visual novel prologue download here! ✨

What does it mean to be a person when up until fairly recently you didn't exist in the first place? When you are made of minds and bones harvested from the unwilling? What do you do when the life you didn't ask for is seen as an abomination by others and you are loved despite that? In Carpathian Skies you are a stitched together creation made up of the bodies of countless people. You're sheltered by the crew of a sky ship known as The Carpathia, who have taken up the bounty to retrieve the eyes of a beloved member of Elsewhere's ruling council after their vicious mutilation. Unfortunately, those eyes now belong to you.

This will probably be my last post about Murder Drones ever, but I really do love that the message of the finale is basically just…we should do more cringe things.

Liam Vickers is out here making a silly little robot show with no particularly deep or existential message (which half the fandom was expecting) and is instead smashing his characters together like dolls, making them anime fight with nightcore music in the background, and giving them fucked up to the point of ridiculousness character development/trauma, with the message that this is fun and lighthearted and that we should kill cringe culture and instead do more of what he’s doing.

And honestly? Go off king, that is a GREAT message to spread and a delightful subversion to what everyone was expecting for the finale. We SHOULD spend more time doing cringe things and making fanart and pop culture references and edgy OCs. You’re so correct that not everything needs to be deep or meaningful.

I know a lot of people are going to hate the finale for the lack of story, but honestly this show is just here to have fun and I’m rolling with that. Go be cringe and weird and free.

Hey there! I’m Nina (25), and I’m looking for a few long-term partners to write with on Discord!

✧.* Please do not interact if you are under 18. Even if the plot doesn’t involve smut, I’m not interested in writing with minors.

✧.* I’m open to writing about (almost) anything, with any pairing (m/f, f/f, m/m, nb, etc.).

✧.* I prefer writing with someone who enjoys crafting longer replies (at least two paragraphs minimum). While I’m not one to rush my partners, I do appreciate a reply at least 2-3 times a week. Sometimes life happens and replies are slower, but I will always let you know if I’m going to be a bit mia. I also love making playlists, mood boards, and sharing inspiration!

✧.* Angsty plots are my absolute favorite! I love writing stories that allow for deep emotional investment in our characters and lots of character development. Bonus points if you can make me cry over a plot.

✧.* I’m comfortable playing both male and female characters. I tend to come up with new characters on the fly for different plots, so I may not have many established character bios. I love doubling, playing both a male and female muse, but it’s not a dealbreaker if you’d rather start with one plot!

✧.* Communication is key! I won’t harass you if you need a break or don’t feel like a plot anymore—please just let me know! I’d much prefer to hear from you than have a collection of dead plots on Discord.

✧.* I write exclusively on Discord for now—it’s just the easiest platform for me.

If you’re interested, like this post or send me a message, and we can chat about plots!

okay  so  i  had  to  type  it  before  i  forget  it.

a  witness  protection  couple??  like  they  could  be  total  strangers,  exes,  friends,  ect.  but  they  both  could  have  witnessed  a  crime  (  that  could  or  could  not  be  related!  )  so  they  get  paired  in  witness  protection,  and  living  far  from  what  they  could  remember  about  their  old  lives.  having  new  identities  and  given  certain  restrictions.  bonus  points  if  it's  and  older  pairing.

[prophecieds]

wanted plots based on stories from greek mythology.

psyche and eros. muse a, despite their beauty and alluring presence seen and felt by everyone who meets them, has never been in a relationship before. it was adorable when they were young, but now that they’re in their mid - twenties, it’s becoming sort of pathetic. so muse a decides to join a popular dating app. they match with muse b, a mysterious user who doesn’t even have any recognizable pictures on their profile, but they immediately develop a connection despite muse b refusing to reveal their identity. little does muse a know, muse b is a tech billionaire and the founder of the app itself, but has sworn off public attention and romantic vulnerability. drawn to muse a’s sincerity, muse b breaks their own rules and begins a secret relationship with muse a—on the condition that they never try to find out who muse b really is.

helen and paris. muse is married to a powerful senator—polished, admired, and constantly in the public eye. they’re seen as the perfect political spouse. but behind closed doors, their life is scripted, controlled, and painfully hollow. then comes muse b—a young, charming foreign diplomat’s son / daughter visiting from abroad. muse b offers muse a something no one else has: escape. what begins as a fleeting connection at a political gala becomes an affair that ignites international scandal when muse a vanishes with muse b without a word.

andromeda and perseus. muse a is from a high - profile political family. when a photo of them is leaked in connection to a crime they didn’t commit, the media turns them into a scapegoat—framing them as reckless, spoiled, and dangerous. to protect their reputation, muse a’s family cuts them off, leaving them to take the fall alone. enter muse b, an investigative journalist. while chasing a story on corruption and cover - ups, they stumble across muse a’s case and suspects there’s more beneath the headlines. against warnings from their editors and threats from powerful people, muse b digs deeper and helps muse a disappear from the public eye.

persephone and hades. muse a is an aspiring artist, open - minded and warm, constantly seeking new experiences. muse b is a once celebrated artist, but their life was shattered by a public scandal that forced them into seclusion. they now run an underground art gallery, where muse a has decided to work at. the two form an unlikely bond over art, and their attraction becomes undeniable. muse a is drawn to the complexity of muse b’s world, and muse b is captivated by the light muse a brings into their darkness. but as their connection deepens, muse a begins to question if they can ever truly leave the shadows of muse b’s world behind, and muse b must confront their own demons before they can fully accept the love that muse a offers.

aphrodite and hephaestus. muse a is a genius mechanic and inventor, the quiet, unassuming mastermind behind some of the most groundbreaking technologies in the world. muse b is the epitome of glamour, beauty, and social power. a supermodel adored by millions. the two met years ago, before the fame and the glamour. back then, they were everything to each other—muse b was muse a’s muse, their reason to live, and muse a was muse b’s sanctuary. their love was simple and deep, until muse b’s growing fame tore them apart. but years later, when their paths cross once again, the unresolved love between them burns fiercely, hotter than ever. muse a is still broken, still scarred by the betrayal. muse b, too, is now just as damaged—their perfect life a mask for the regret and guilt they carry for leaving muse a behind. yet neither can deny the connection and chemistry that’s always existed between them. muse a wants to believe in muse b again, but they can’t forget how muse b abandoned them. muse b wants nothing more than to show muse a they’ve changed, but they don’t know if muse a will ever trust them again.
