IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I have certain /r tags blocked. muted. whatever the term is. and I avoid those ships when possible. I have tumblr savior so I literally do not see any posts with those ship names in them, meaning I am completely unaware of them. if I could mute them in comments so I don't see them there too I would but alas. nothing I can do about that. personal boundary thing. ^^ Everything I talk about is platonic unless I make it very clear with a /r tag that it's romantic.

On a related note, please do not reblog any of my posts with a ship tag or something like that unless the original post is a ship post. Thanks!

I do not ship characters unless I know the creators are fine with it. That's just how I've decided to roll.

Tone tags are appreciated but not necessary. will ask if I need clarification.

in general don't be rude I'm sure we can communicate respectfully about things!

not sorry for disappearing for a moment I'm a bit locked in and also going to see if I am rizzful this weekend. will I pull? tune in to the next episode of buzzfeed unsolved

i was gonna buy the wifiestooz and I put it in my cart but then I decided to do it in the morning except in the morning I was so caught up with last-minute studying that I forgot and then I had exams and so I never got the wifiestooz

Rare uu wip . Wifies hanahaki.

“It would be easy,” Ash murmurs, and the softness of his voice almost sounds like compassion, “to rid yourself of this. So easy. I could have you brought to specialists in the next minute.”

Your helmet rattles when you shake your head no. It’s easier than speaking and feeling the roots squeeze your rib cage and organs. 

“This is what I call pathetic, Wifies. Your inability to cast away the things that hurt you.” Ash taps his fingers on the table as he stares at you, through you. “Don’t you want to live?”

You shake your head again. 

Ash huffs, resting his chin on his hands. “You have my permission to speak. Tell me why.”

“I wouldn’t be living,” you say. Your voice is a shambling, scratchy mess, barely louder than a whisper. Honey can only do so much to soothe the pain. 

Silence. Ash looks thoughtful, or maybe just drunk—on both alcohol and power. The flask at his hip is always full, and the copper-trimmed guard always stands sentry behind him. 

this isn't canon (yet) to coffeeshop au but i just love double identities

anyways parrot and wifies discussing a book. whose book? heh

--

“Why?” The question fell out. 

Wifies furrowed his brow. “Why is it one of my favorite books?”

Parrot nodded. Maybe Wifies would say that he’d forgotten to take it off the favorites shelf, that it was his favorite only because of nostalgia, anything other than—

“It’s a thoughtful story,” Wifies said, words steady and assured. “That, and the language used is just beautiful.”

He paused for a moment. Parrot took a sip of water to calm his stomach. 

“I do worry a little, though,” Wifies murmured. “The second book—From Heavens—is…a lot heavier, a lot more visceral, and the author’s gone radio silent since it was released. I hope they’re doing okay.”

The air tasted like cigarette smoke and bitter ashes. It was 4:47 AM, and the iron balcony railing was going to leave indentations in Parrot’s skin. 

Above him, the sky arched indifferent with sparsely scattered stars. The light pollution wasn’t too bad, but it still hid many of the white pinpricks that would otherwise be visible. 

When had his life started coming apart, darkness spilling out like the space between the stars? When had his love for writing turned into a chokehold, into bills that needed to be paid?

Just a little more. I just need to hold on for a little longer. 

“Parrot?” Wifies’s voice was quiet. “You there?”

Parrot stared into his wineglass, seeing his rippling reflection in the redness there, then at Wifies. 

“Yeah,” said Parrot. “Sorry. I zoned out for a second. What were you saying?”

“It’s nothing,” Wifies said. “Just…never mind.”

“I want to know now.” Parrot could never stop his curiosity, even when it bit him. 

Wifies smiled slightly. “Alright, then. I was just saying that I wish I’d attended a book signing for Over Ocean now. X2 never did any events for From Heavens, so I never got to see them in person.”

Parrot huffed. Wifies had met X2 already, unknowingly, and that was the only way he should meet X2, because X2 was not as admirable as he seemed to think. 

But then he looked at Wifies’s face, at the widened eyes that Parrot now knew indicated confusion. Of course. Wifies didn’t know what Parrot found funny. Parrot pictured Wifies’s confusion turning into hurt and his stomach curdled. 

“We all make decisions we regret,” Parrot said. “I’m sorry you didn’t get to meet X2. Maybe h—they’ll come back in the future? Is the series a trilogy? There could be a third book then, and maybe there’ll be an event for that one.”

There will be a third book. There must be one.
