Waterwegen [3/7] [1/7] [2/7] [4/7]
I lived above a Domino’s and I can confirm they are demons! The back entrance of my house was the same as the back entrance to the shop. It consisted of an alleyway where the lights were always flickering (even if we had just changed the lightbulb). There was a stone building in the corner, without a roof, but the door was locked. Things I found in this alleyway include but are not limited to: 1) Two tarot cards 2) A red toy car ln which a three year old could ride around 3) Three dead birds, evenly spread over the length of the alley 4) A silver charm with a card tied to it, proclaiming it a ‘guardian angel’ (the day after the birds) 5) My own bike, but turned upside down The building was also right in front of a nunnery-turned-student-housing. There was an old couch in the front yard, but I never saw a single student go in or out. Next to it was a big old house with a pointy roof and curtained windows that looked less like a place for demons and more like a vampire home. I am fairly certain the birds and the guardian angel where the signs of some ongoing war.
omg so yesterday i put a salt line on the pathway to our front door because i was fucking around and my brother was pretending to be a demon
and today we ordered pizza and the salt line was still there
and my brother went outside to sign for the pizza
and the pizzaman refused to step over the salt line, like he almost did and then he backed up and handed my bro the pizza and left; which is pretty ridiculous because it’s far from our door
so a heads up to everyone i’m pretty sure domino’s is actually run by demons??? kind of like how in men in black the post office is run by aliens
I was tagged by the lovely @create-and-procrastinate to answer some questions about me. Thank you!
Relationship Status: All by myself (cue dramatic music)
Chapstick or Lipstick: I like lipstick. I should wear it more often!
Favorite Colors: Soft, light blue, ocean blue and deep red. L
ast Movie I Saw: Palo Alto, based on stories by James Franco. It has a great atmosphere that completely pulled me into it.

Books I’m Currently Reading: I'm reading Wuthering Heights for university and I just finished The Picture of Dorian Grey (which I adored), so I'm into classics right now!
Tagging @concealeddarkness13, @authorisada, @theimpossiblescheme and @siljehawthorne. Don’t do it if you don’t feel like it!
I’m working on a request, but I didn’t take the right laptop with all the pics home for the holidays. So here’s a moodboard for my own Victoria, who’s dangerous, beautiful and painfully wrong.

Hey, this is probably a bit late, but I saw you commented on an ask that I sent in. (To a different blog) So... about writing cis/straight characters? I really don't know. I'm not lying... I've never made a good straight/cis character they all suck, cliche stupid and aaa (NOT CALLING CIS/STRAIGHT PEOPLE ANY OF THOSE) Help?
Hey, friend. Don’t worry - writing means getting into characters that are different from you and for accurate portrayel, asking is the best course! I think a good way to write a straight/cis character, is to consider what you like about your queer characters. Surely, there is a lot more to them than their sexuality or gender. They have backgrounds, goals, dreams and fears, family and hobbies and favorite music. Their sexuality/gender might be a part of them, but it’s definitly not all of them. If you want to make up a straight/cis character, do not focus on straight/cis. Just make a character. Did they grow up in a farm? Where they popular in high school? What was their dreamjob when they were six? Do they like vintage clothing? Do they understand social media and have they ever bought merchandise? Do they have any big regrets? What happened to them, that you are writting this story in the first place? Did they get in prison? Or out of it? There are so many things that make a character interesting or relatable, and sexuality and gender are only a small part of that. I have some more ideas about this, but I am not sure how to word them at the moment. If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to message me (I suppose I am not straight, by the way, but I am cis).

This blog will combine three things I love dearly: writing, talking about writing, and aesthetics. So if you have an amazing OC for which you crave an aesthetic moodboard or Instagram page - tell me all about them, and I will make you one! After all, every writer needs fanart.
