some advice I got a long time ago about making your characters more realistic:
If you can’t imagine your character in silly or embarrassing situations without feeling very personally offended; take a step back, kick your character off their pedestal and let them breathe.
Let them feel and react in the same way you and others do. Let them laugh at dumb things, let them trip and fall on their face a few times. Let them experience life.
Don’t take your characters so seriously that all the fun qualities are removed in the process.

sometimes i wonder if every part of my personality these days is a glowing beacon that shrieks to the world "this woman has a tumblr account!" and i start to get legitimately concerned about it except then i remember that all the people best equipped to recognize the signs in the wild are also on this website so. devil's sacrament, etc. the fact that the phrase "devil's sacrament" came so readily to my mind just then is probably a point in favor of an affirmative answer to that first question isn't it

Some Sentences Sunday
Tumblr media
I'm going to thank the folks that have tagged me on different days throughout the past couple weeks: @onthewaytosomewhere @firenati0n @carlos-in-glasses @sznofthesticks @carlos-tk
@im-overstimulated-and-im-sad @rmd-writes @welcometololaland @cha-melodius it means so much to me thank you thank you thank you! Rae I know you probably wanted more of HTLAGI10D au (I've GOT to come up with a title for that soon bc that acronym is horrendous and I'm too lazy to type it out) but alas, this is where the muse was this week.
The text on the image is the working title for this, a firstprince fast & furious au. I want to preface with the fact that I have only seen the first three movies, and this is ENTIRELY based on the FIRST movie only, with some creative liberties taken with the story ofc. Without further ado, here are seven eight sentences :)
Henry knew it was wrong on so many levels, both professional and personal. He was practically toe-ing the line of a complete flip here, in Alex’s arms on the dance floor. Alex Claremont-Diaz was a dangerous man, a mastermind of sinister proportions–it was all right there in his file–and it was Henry’s job to take him down.  But it was so very hard to remember the job, here; thumping bass and sweat and heat, and the feel of Alex’s arousal poking at his hip every time they rolled together to the beat of the music. So hard to remember his duty as an investigator when Alex rubbed his stubble up and down the line of Henry’s neck, alighting every nerve ending. So hard to remember what was on the line when Alex pulled back to look at him in the flashing lights, the strobing effect making it seem like he held several expressions at once: need, desire, hunger, passion. All related, but all distinct.  So Henry gave up on trying to remember his mission here, and let Alex coax him closer, their bodies sliding together in a sea of lights and lust. 
No pressure tags under the cut! Also here is an OPEN TAG :)

seven who knows anymore sentence sunday
we are so far past seven at this point its not even funny
thank you to @sznofthesticks, @welcometololaland, @sugdenlovesdingle, and @carlos-in-glasses for the tags this weekend! the aish fic won, so be on the lookout for her story snippets! really excited to share her with you <3
She pulls away, wiping her face, “Carlos…”
She can see the breath leave his body, and she realizes her mistake. “He’s alive, I’m sorry, he’s alive. He’s alive and he’s awake. I’m so sorry. He doesn’t want to see you.”
He collapses onto the stairs, and Aish rushes forward, placing a hand on his shoulder.“Carlos, please.”
Carlos shrugs her hand off, wandering over to the kitchen and collapsing on the barstools. Aishu follows, sitting next to him and messing with her purse strap. 
“My last conversation with Iris was a fight,” Aishu whispers into the silence that has descended upon the three of them, her voice hoarse. Andrea senses the fact that Aishu and Carlos need to sort this out amongst themselves, silently making her exit. 
“It was ugly, Carlos. We were fighting about the fact that she was completely pulling away, not ever fully making sense and barely sitting down to eat a meal with me. We were living together, supposedly sleeping in the same bed, and I saw you more than I saw my own girlfriend. She called me heartless, and that I was pushing her boundaries and needed to back the fuck off. And I,” her voice breaks, “I told her that if she needed the space that badly, then maybe it was time for her to go. She got in that fucking blue truck twenty minutes later, and I never saw her again.”
Carlos’s lips part, “Aishu, what…”Aishu lifts her hand, silencing him, “TK’s alive. You know where he is – he’s breathing and walking and talking and alive, Carlos. You have to fix it, because the love of your life is just mad at you. The love of mine is dead, and I have to live with the fact that she got into that truck because of me. You? Yeah, maybe it was your fault he was first through that door, but he’s alive. So, you fix it. You tell him you love him, and that giving him anything less than that was absolute idiocy on your part.”
no pressure tagging @theghostofashton, @paperstorm, @heartstringsduet, @alrightbuckaroo, @liminalmemories21, @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut , @bonheur-cafe, @reyesstrand, @lightningboltreader, @fallout-mars, @birdclowns, @honeybee-taskforce, and you!!

Thank you @welcometololaland @sznofthesticks and @nancygillianmvp for the inspiration weekend tag!
And thank you @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad @carlos-tk @strandnreyes
@sugdenlovesdingle @sznofthesticks @carlos-in-glasses
@three-drink-amy and @ladytessa74 for the seven sentence sunday tag!
Going to double up because I'm in a moodboard mood! The moodboard is for two fics I'm working on, but this snippet is from the actors!au:
There's hands on his stomach and his chest, pulling the microphones off of him with cold hands. Then there's warm ones on the back of his neck and on his arm, a familiar touch guiding him away from the lights and the cameras. Away from the people switching out the microphones, wires, makeup brushes, combs and hairspray for a cold plastic cup of champagne. TK leads him away from the noises that echo off of his head that feels too big and far away from his body into a quiet corner under a canopy of trees and moss where the folding chair with his name written on it is.
Reyes. Right next to the one that reads Strand.
Open tag! And my mess of tags I hope works under the cut 💜

Chapter 3 is now up on Ao3, so here are some shenanigans from Chapter 4 of I Was Thinking About Your Mouth:
“I’m going to put it on for you!” TK rushes away to the bathroom, calling behind him, “Do we have enough charge in The Blue One?”
The mention of The Blue One excites Carlos so rapidly he has to unzip his jeans and take them off, as if the very act of wearing material is hurting him.
The [redacted] might be a silly mistake they’ll make the best of, but The Blue One is serious business. The Blue One is a double-penetration menace that makes them both scream. 
Carlos gets naked and drags their big box of toys out from under the bed. The Blue One – with its smooth silicon crooks and curves – is buried under regular vibrators and a couple of butt plugs.
They don’t use it all the time. But when they do.

He finally gives him a reprieve and lets his lips meet the solid expanse of Carlos’ newly exposed chest. Marking him up in ways Carlos knows he’ll be seeing and feeling for at least the next week.
TK’s hands have already made light work of undoing half the buttons on his previously crisp business shirt, and Carlos swears he’s determined to make sure it’s unsalvageable after tonight.
“Off,” TK demands a half second later, interrupting his thoughts and pushing Carlos’ arms up, pulling it the rest of the way over his head, and tossing it to the concrete floor beside them.
“This too,” he mumbles against Carlos’ lips, unfastening his belt with one hand and dragging it out of the loops of his dress pants with some well practised finesse.
He moves onto the offending pants next, fumbling the button open and the zipper down, shoving his boxers down with them and finally getting a hand on Carlos’ aching c*ck.
“Fuck!” he gasps at the needed relief and the touch of TK’s nimble fingers on him.
“TK–god–baby I won’t last long if you keep that pace up,” he forewarns in the hope he’ll slow his ministrations.
TK simply hums where his lips are pressed against his jaw and instead increases the speed of his strokes, slick and rough and punishing.
“Well that’s kind of the point baby,” he teases and pulls way with a smug grin and pointed look.
He appeases him though, pulling his hand off and lets his fingers trace Carlos’ abdomen, a series of teasing touches until he’s instead pinching his nipple sharply between his thumb and forefinger.
Carlos hisses, and his c*ck pathetically twitches and dribbles even more pre-come.
open tag for YOU + tags under the cut 💗

Seven Sentence Sunday
Starting this off today -
And trying to pick a passage that doesn't give plot away-
This is from the next chapter of my TK and Sophie fic - 💝
2011-
“Fine,” TK huffed, climbing off the floor. “I’m going back to bed. Good night”. He tried to walk past, but his dad caught his arm.
“What?” he snapped. “Weren’t you just telling me to go to bed?”
“I know”. Owen said, gently stroking his son’s arm. “But I wanted to ask. Is there anything you wanted to talk about, TK?”
Like how I finally found a way to feel better about what a loser I am and how you and Mom are determined to ruin it, TK thought stubbornly to himself.
Out loud he just said, “Nope. There isn’t”.
His dad looked at him a long time, like he was going to say something else. Finally he just said, “Okay. Get some sleep. Good night”.
