Come Back (an original poem)
Okay so that ended rather abruptly and out of the blue;
And I think the worst part is, I can't even make myself hate you.
Your reasons were valid, you want to get closer to God;
You broke up with me, so I have to piece back together my facade.
I tested my baby names with your last,
But now I think we may just be a thing of the past.
Maybe not. Maybe you'll get it all figured out and you'll come back,
But I pray you really figure it out because it's a lot to unpack.
I don't think you understand, I threw aside my mask.
I showed you the real me, you didn't even have to ask.
But now I don't know what to do.
Because, despite ending things, I still really like you.
i need to tell him this tbh
Idk I think being in your arms will help me sleep better.
i should be getting cuddled right now
this is fucking stupid
This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.
when he calls you randomly just because >>>>>>>
How to Write a Ruthless Character
A ruthless character is all about the endgame. They don’t care how they get there, lying, cheating, using others, it’s all fair game as long as they win. When writing them, show how they can cut off any distractions or emotions, making decisions that others would hesitate over.
These characters don't let feelings get in the way. Compassion, guilt, regret? Nah, they don’t have time for that. Show how they can turn off their emotions and make choices purely based on logic. They’ll do things that seem heartless to everyone else, but for them, it’s just another part of the plan. It’s not that they don’t feel anything, they just choose not to.
Boundaries? What boundaries? A ruthless character doesn’t care about rules unless they can bend them to get ahead. They’ll do things no one else dares, crossing lines others are too scared to even approach. The more uncomfortable their actions make people, the more it emphasizes just how far they’re willing to go. For them, pushing limits is just another day.
They don’t act on impulse. Every move they make is planned, and every risk they take is calculated. They weigh the pros and cons before acting, and they’re always three steps ahead of everyone else. Writing a ruthless character means showing that they’ve already figured out how to win while everyone else is still trying to figure out the rules.
Betrayal is their go-to move when things get tough. Friends, allies, even people who trust them, no one is safe. They’ll turn on anyone if it benefits them. And the best part? They’ll sleep just fine afterward. Show how others react to their betrayals, shocked, hurt, furious, while your ruthless character shrugs it off like, “It had to be done.”
Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you send this to ten of your favourite followers (positivity is cool!!)🌈🌈

Your story doesn't "have a message;" your story IS a message. The narrative and characters and setting and dialogue are just determining whether or not you delivered that message well.

Rin chuckles. “Didn't figure so.” He brings the towel up to my neck and I can’t help the flinch that I give. “This might hurt a little. But it’s going to help, I promise.” I feel a jab in my neck and the world starts spinning.
He’s drugging me, I’m going to die.

he told me my plants probably ARE as happy as i was telling him they were because they get to be next to me all day (queue mouth dropping) SIR???
