Quetzalcoatl’s name resonates with time, serpent-spun fire flickering up towards the skyline; his skin shades of kaleidoscopic green, his voice a howl as he chases the winds beneath the light of Venus. Winged serpent that draws the boundary between earth and sky — belongs to both and neither. This world is creation — his fall its destruction.

i honestly didn’t expect to start a topic on sex but because it happened i’m considering talking more about sex positivity on this blog. maybe i might make it a weekly thing? please share your suggestions if you want.

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge. 

“You don’t do things by halves, do you?” he said.

“I didn’t even get halfway with killing you, but give me the knife and I’ll fix that.”

He took a long sip of his drink, tipped his head back against the couch, and decided he could live with that.

i'm currently writing a wlw Hades and Persephone retelling called The Queen Below and i really love it and love the feedback i've been given and i love all the characters as if they were my own children but i'm like 120k words in and nearly finished and i'm almost sad to leave them :(

okay wow this sounds amazing?? I really would love to read this as soon as it’s finished and if you post it or what not?? honestly, I’m obsessed with hades and persephone and a wlw retelling? that sounds like Everything! also...120k words?? how do you do? seriously, I’m asking because I love writing so much, but I have this irrational fear of blank documents and when I open one, my inspiration kind of just disappears and I’m like “well, I guess I will never write anything ever!” and I have sooooo many stories to tell! but real talk, I understand being sad to leave your oc’s because they are EVERYTHING to you! I feel like I’m letting mine down by not telling their stories, but I’m sure I will get there eventually!! c: talk to me about your oc’s/stories!

There will always be those who want to tell you who you are based on your name or the blood in your veins. Do not let other people decide who you are. 

Decide for yourself.

Padme Amidala is a ghost.

She’s an electric blue outline filled in with shades of dove white and steel-hull grey. When she smiles the galaxy shines that much brighter, hope filling the corners where darkness has lingered for far too long.

She seldom dreams of the galaxy since she became a memory trapped beneath a respirator and shell-like black armour. She sees Star Destroyers like stars  — leaving a history of ruins from which children emerge as fledgling warriors. 

She commits each name to memory, tangled names weaving her dress even as she forgets her own beneath the molten ore of Mustafar, inside a bacta tank, inside a bleak fortress suspended by gravity. This is not the legacy envisioned (when tangled in bed with Anakin’s steady heartbeat against her they talked of the future; an ongoing horizon of possibilities, filled with lives as constellations: bright, bright, bright).

— she smells sulphur, then the sterile hospital chemicals; it’s dark.

omg i have a story about a sex dream recently ok so when i was a senior in high school at 17, i had this really hot student teacher from aus that was tall, a marathon runner, etc. i had a lil crush but i was like ok it's whatever he's my teacher but i added him on facebook after we both left and he added me back, two years later (now) we got to talking, met up at the beach, and i had a sex dream about him and uhhh told him and we've flirted back and forth about "practical application" since then

just like…. if 17 year old me knew this would happen now? if people from my high school knew? so many girls thought he was cute too so like i can only imagine lmao (also he has a way more interesting personality than i would have pegged him for, and it only makes it better) and i can’t help but feel this is like a irl fan fiction of some sort

omfg that is like straight out of a fanfic. seriously i’m kinda jealous at this point. the fact that he has an interesting personality just makes it that much more fun! i’m honestly really eager to find out how it all plays out now!
