— Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes From Underground

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

One word from you and I would jump off of this ledge I'm on, baby

Tell me, "Don't," so I can crawl back in

This is what you're missing. You know who you are. READ.

Jem and his underrated humour

“and the sun has come up in the east” he was so funny without even trying

The amount of hate Lucien Vanserra gets for being interested in getting to know the person his fucking omnipotent god decided was his perfect match is fucking wild to me.

Like yall want this man to be evil so bad and he's literally just trying to figure out who he is now that everything he thought he was is crumbling under his feet. He's literally coming through again and again for Feyre and her friends despite going through a goddamned identity crisis that's lasted like four books at this point. Yall want this man to be evil and he's only ever been described by literally everyone as "loyal" and "a good male" and "not evil". Yall want this man to be evil and he was willing to die/be tortured to protect Feyre ALONE at least three times.

But because this man was given a mate-something he's been raised his whole life to revere and dream about and want-and he is interested in *checks notes* getting to know her, he's now evil. He's now going to go against five books of character development and become a betrayer and/or unreasonably violent?

Like if you don't ship them that's absolutely fine. I think the concept of them not having romantic feelings and navigating the bond on a purely platonic sense is interesting (though I don't think it's gonna happen given Sarah J Maas' track record) and is something that could make for an interesting story but like......I'm sorry but bending backwards to try and paint Lucien as EVIL????

Have we read the same books?

Out of patience, Kit slowly raised his middle finger. “Here’s the password.” Ty muffled a laugh.

currently thinking about kit showing barnabas the finger when he wouldn't let him and ty enter the shadow market and cracking up (and the fact that ty was laughing so much at kit is honestly the most adorable thing to happen in tda, they make each other so freaking happy🥹)

OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. LOVE IT

hell yeah

She's edgy as fuck. Like...uh...a neon green sneakers on a Versace dress. Anything u wanna say?

We get it, you’re edgy.

I was born on Halloween, so it's just part of my nature😉

(I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I seem to lack the edgy part of the human being system. I was built wrong)

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more useful to writers than pregnant people's baby name webs.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, spends more time on pregnant people's baby name webs than writers.
