lesbians PLEASE interact lyz, 25, they/them. sometimes i write

something genuinely insane about going somewhere and getting to feel “i had some of the worst years of my life here” and “i was loved here, once” simultaneously.

the structure rots and the plants reclaim. But i remember

Teenage Damian: Father, I have something very important to tell you. Richard has assured me it will not change your view of me, and I am holding you to that.
Bruce, thinking another kid is coming out: of course Damian. You are my kid, that will not change
Damian: *nods and takes a deep breath*
Damian: As you are aware, there has been a concerning increase of bats and they have risked disturbing the signals and various memorabilia due to them
Damian: There are more that are flying or stationing themselves around lower to the ground, and I have overheard you and Gordon wondering if they are diseased or rabid.
Bruce, officially lost: hn
Damian: The reason there's been an uptick of bats inside the main part of the cave is due to me feeding and befriending them
Bruce:
Damian: They prefer kiwi and strawberries

mixing concrete with chicken stock instead of water to give it a richer flavor profile

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

I don't remember where I heard this now, but I absorbed the advice, "if you're stuck, count ten sentences back and start again from there". It's not always ten sentences back, for me, but it does force me to look at the last handful of lines I've actually written on a sentence instead of a story level, and that is eminently helpful in unsticking myself most of the time.

I recently resolved a point where I'd been stuck for months not by changing anything in the scene I was currently writing, but by realizing I needed to add another scene before that one to establish key information I couldn't work into the current one

HEY WRITER MUTUALS COME GET YOUR WRITER JUICE

hi. are you scared? i know i'm scared. i'm scared a lot, actually. but when i curl up under the blankets to hide from the world outside they are soft and comforting against my skin. and food still tastes good even when my hands tremble holding the fork. so i think that we will be okay

sex isn't sexy unless it's a little bit gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting.

you can laugh at napoleon's "home in three days, don't bathe" letter to his wife, but there's more sexuality in that one line then there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet.

What are your thoughts on musk?

i hope he dies
