I woke up this morning really inspired for the first time in years and this is the result <3

It’s over much too soon. It lasted about half an hour, sweaty foreheads pressed together, breath mingling, and he didn’t think that was too bad, all things considered. You were still laying on top of him, chest pressed to his, your cheek cupped in the palm of his hand.

He was always breaking things. He remembered the day that Wayne hung all the mugs up on the wall, out of reach, the day Eddie had dropped one and slashed a deep gash into the palm of his hand trying to pick up the pieces. He’d been terrified, blindly fumbling at the shards of ceramic with tears blurring his vision. He’d had to get stitches, and now the old silvery scar was pressed against your cheek. He’d never really believed in anything, but for the first time in his life, he found himself praying, the tips of his fingers pushing into your damp hairline. Please don’t let me break her.

He could feel your heart thudding against his own, slowing back down to normality, becoming steady again. Your hooded eyes met his, and you smiled softly, kiss swollen lips pulling up at the corners, your cheek pressing further into his palm.

“Hey” you almost whispered, as if speaking at a normal volume might break some kind of trance. Your breath smelled sweet, of movie theatre popcorn and blue raspberry slush puppies. He’d leaned in to kiss you while your mouth was still ice cold, and didn’t stop until there was no trace of blue left on your lips.

“Hey” he replied, his heart swelling, the smile on his face so wide he thought it might split open. The corners of his eyes crinkled with the force of it. You leaned in to kiss him again, teeth grazing against his chapped bottom lip, and when you pulled away, you lay your head on the pillow. Your face was an inch away, and he could feel each breath you took fanning softly over his face. But that inch�� that damn inch. It was enough for the tiniest sliver of doubt to weasel its way in and settle between his ribs.

Everybody Eddie brought home left with a piece of him. It was his nature to give, to lay it all out on the table, and he was usually pretty good at letting things go. He didn’t expect phone calls, or declarations of undying affection, and when people walked out of the door with a tiny piece of him clutched in their palm, he didn’t ever expect them to return it. But you. You were about to take the biggest piece yet.

“You can go. If you need to. If you’re uh… busy.” His smile wasn’t as wide, plastered onto his face like a mask.

“Do you want me to go?” Usually he’d say sure, no worries, you should probably leave anyway. But the look on your face, the unguarded sincerity with which you looked into his eyes, made his heart skip a beat. It was like someone was in his stomach swinging a bat around, and they’d just hit a home run to lodge right in his throat. He swallowed around the hard lump.

“No.” He thought he sounded like a child. He hoped his eyes weren’t welling up.

“Then i’ll stay.” You pushed a stray curl behind his ear with delicate fingertips, the gesture so fond and so unfamiliar that if eddie wasn’t on the verge of tears before, he definitely was now. As you pressed your lips to his one more time, the lump in his throat turned to honey, seeping into his blood, warming his skin, setting the hairs on his arms standing on end. As you pulled away, forehead pressed to his once again, he cupped your face once more, thumb tracing along your bottom lip.

Careful. Don’t break her. He swallowed, eyes scrunching closed, his lips catching the corner of your mouth one more time.

I love you. Don’t ever leave me. “You hungry?” he said instead.

14, 20, and 21 for the WIP Writing asks!

14. Tell us about an upcoming scene in your WIP, that you’re excited about.

Answered here!

20. What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

I like the idea of not being afraid of what I’m writing turning out differently than planning. I like relaxed tips like that, ones that just tell you to calm it down. 

21. What’s a common writing tip that you mostly ignore?

Answered here!

[mushratting]

i think my favorite horror setting is a sunny day.

let me explain.

in a horror setting you feel safe during the day usually, since a lot of horror focuses on the dark. now that being said, in the middle of the day its bright, its sunny. but theres a certain amount of sun that makes everything feel surreal, like an over saturated photo. suddenly the street feels too big and too empty.

in conclusion: sunny days can be scary if you use them right

No thing defines a man like love

Read now on Ao3 at https://ift.tt/rqtFETs by mushwrites Title from Strawberry Wine - Noah Kahan. Hakoda is a good Chief. He prides himself in his connection with his people, and he prides himself in his morals. When a sick firebender crawls onto his boat, Hakoda is faced with choosing between the two. Doing the right thing and protecting his people, both those in his crew and those who he had to leave behind, and his morals that scream killing a child, no matter their loyalties, is wrong. Especially a sick, terrified one. Fever ridden, in pain and confused, Zuko escapes his ship a few short days after he is first exiled and finds himself on Hakoda's ship. Struggling between his loyalty to his nation, his father, and the conflicting stories from the members of the crew, Zuko is faced with a very different path, and destiny, to the one he had always envisioned for himself.

squirmy gogyyyy 🥺 like trying to argue against dream but doing that thing where he cuts off his sentence with a new huff :((

Something I’ve been thinking about:

Dream straddling George, holding his wrists down on either side of his head, and just teasing the absolute shit out of him.

Dream would be describing exactly how he was about to tickle George to death in great detail. George would be whining and his face would be bright red, shaking his head and trying to yell over Dream’s teases to drown them out (spoiler: it doesn’t work). By the time Dream actually goes to tickle him, George is already begging 😵‍💫

These stories need more appreciation.

They are a beautifully written fusion of Dream SMP and Percy Jackson and I could read them repeatedly.

i deleted the entire month of february from my fantasy world for two reasons:

a) i cant fucking spell it

b) its too short. i dont trust it.

“Worldbuilding” is a very sophisticated word for the process of “YOOOOOO wouldn’t it be cool if...”

WIP Intro: The Masks We Hide Behind

[Image description: a headshot of a grey wolf baring its fangs on a dark green and black background. Above the wolf’s head are the words “The Masks We Hide Behind” in white letters, and at the bottom of the image are the words “a WIP by Cloverponyz”. End id]. 

Overview ->

Genre: paranormal/supernatural, romance, young adult, LGBTQ+, mystery elements

Themes: identity, acceptance, what makes a monster, different kinds of love, hunter vs. hunted, knowledge vs. ignorance, truth and lies, different kinds of strength, history repeating itself 

Expected length: 75k-90k

Expected content warnings: prejudice, discrimination, eugenics, homophobia and biphobia, internalized homophobia and biphobia, antisemitism, K slur, references to Nazism and the Holocaust, racism, mental health problems, panic/anxiety attacks, murder, child death, violence, violence against minors, near-death experiences, broken bones, vaping, alcohol, underage drinking, references to drug use and underage sex

Summary -> 

Jay’s parents are dead.

For the last 5 years he’s travelled the States with his eccentric-but-loving aunt, never staying in one place long enough to make real friends or feel at home. He’s used to it, so when he and Aunt Lydia move to the small Texas city of Verstinas, he refuses to get his hopes up. But there’s something strange about Verstinas and its occupants, something dangerous. He’s convinced his new classmates are hiding something, something with sharp teeth and glowing eyes, something that howls in the night.

As Jay struggles to balance new friendships and family secrets, his identity is shaken to the core in more ways than one. A truth revealed, his life irrevocably altered and his heart and head pulling him in different directions, Jay must make a choice:

Leave Verstinas and its deadly secrets,

Or face them and face his past.

He isn’t sure which is more terrifying.

Characters ->

Jason "Jay" Cohen-Hunter: the new kid in school, he’s reserved and observant. Something’s up in Verstinas, and he’s determined to find out what. 

Monroe Wolfhardt: the boy from first period, Monroe and Jay become fast friends, but there’s something suspicious about the way he dodges Jay’s questions. 

Roxie Rosenbaum: the girl from lunch, a quick-thinker with a knack for solving problems, why won’t she help Jay solve his? 

Lydia Cohen: Jay’s aunt, a woman constantly on the move with many strange scars, who seems to know more than she’s letting on. 

The Masks We Hide Behind is my Camp NaNo July project! It’s one of my absolute favourite WIPs and I’m very excited to return to it after I started the first draft for NaNo 2019. The goal is to do the bulk of TMWHB in July and finish it before NaNo 2020. Its sequel, The Lies We Tell Ourselves, is a direct continuation of TMWHB and will probably be completed sometime in 2021.
