there’s so much pathologizing over why enemies to lovers is a popular trope (something something the normalization of abuse something something) when the simplest and less moronic answer is that narratives thrive on irony and reversals, and there’s no greater irony than characters going from hating each other’s guts to loving each other unconditionally. raw thesis-antithesis-synthesis.

i just feel like “what if the trauma we go through is usually not noble but purposeless and terrible and the things we develop to keep us alive often change us for the worse” is one of the most important realizations you can come to in terms of like. empathizing with your fellow man and yet whenever that theme shows up in fiction so many people are immediately like its either PERFECT VICTIM OR IRREDEEMABLY EVIL. open the door and walk out of the dichotomy

Writing is about idly scrolling through the cut pile you’ve mostly ignored and spending all weekend playing in the garbage for fun and amusement and then leaving the extra scene you’ve written in there when you’re done.

Oooo can I have more context on 8 - “it will hit you double time because you're not suited up in a runner suit-  gods- Wh-Why do you think this stuffs called coolant?” (Sorry it took me a while, tumblr only notified me when someone reblogged your post. Hellsite! xD)
Oh hey ! It’s ok - damn hellsite XD Anyway - context time !
“it will hit you double time because you’re not suited up in a runner suit- gods- Wh-Why do you think this stuffs called coolant?”
Oooh this line ! It’s from my current big wip "mirror of Kompeki" - it’s my end game fic - set during the events of storming saka tower to get to mikoshi… by the time this line comes along - Viridian feels like she’s half dead… fighting back waves of emotion as she hooks herself to the main frame.
The context of this line is Viridian (in a very delirious and rundown state) half joking with Jackie - as he enters the big pool of coolant inside mikoshi main frame. He is holding Viridian in his arms- he will be holding her a float in the coolant (as by this point Viridian has no body strength to keep herself floating on her own) - Jackie makes a comment about how damn cold the coolant is !
Really excited to share this fic when it’s all done omg ! I’m putting viridian through the blender in more ways than one in this fic…. >:)

fifteen lines // mike
did this for the gorls here & here and wanted to round up some of the dialogue i've put in this scrub's mouth, too—
Tumblr media
mike kowalski: not my OC but i've made up more shit about him than you can shake a stick at. and he's just always saying things.
"You're out here acting sketchier than an All Foods sushi combo."
"So, let's see… I've drank to excess. And I've been bangin' chicks left and right, if that's still something God cares about. Haven't really been keeping up to date on all the rules."
"You are interrupting my Sunday evening with Ma for this."
"Your place is cute. You always wait this long to do your laundry, though?"
"You're convenient like a fuckin' tire iron to the head. Finish your noodles."
"But we were born opposite sides of Republic Way, so we joined different crews and hated each other's guts for the last thirty years... it is what it is."
"Mind if we take all your clothes off, first?"
"Well, that ain't gonna happen, but I hope you're having a good time thinking about it."
"Pete's like me if I was four inches taller and uglier than a bulldog's entire ass and if I fucking sucked at everything."
"Think you can just ring me up and order me like Szechwan delivery?"
"That dude's got nothing to do with me, that's for sure."
"Lotta things get classified in a lotta ways. They classify tomatoes as a fruit, I heard. Doesn't change the way I live my life one bit."
"You're gonna open a bakery on Jig-Jig Street? Think you'd be peddling the wrong kinda buns."
"We’re mercenaries, babe. Our friends are going to die sometimes."
"I'm 'bout to fuck you so good you forget English."

fifteen lines // valerie
did this previously [here] for vania; was tagged by @beesht [here, ty friend!] so thought i'd share fifteen for val too :3
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their character/personality/vibe. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well. I feel like making a little ask game out of this SO: if you wanna you can send me one of these and i will give you context/ a snipped of what it is from! (you could also guess the context if you like!)
Tumblr media
"Your whole zaibatsu can burn in hell."
"Okay, well, maybe let’s try to be positive today."
"Legendary guitarist Johnny Silverhand, everyone! Can't get his pants on without getting his balls caught in the zipper, but that won't stop him from giving me fashion advice."
"If I'm to walk a step further toward that water tower with you, I'll need your assurance that you will revisit your stance on flowers."
"I've never claimed to have a full deck."
"Thanks, I love it. Just so you know, I will never wear this in public for a single minute of my life."
"I’ve got your metaphorical balls in my fist right now, but I could add your real ones to the equation, too. All that takes is a little time and effort."
"Come down to the city next weekend. We can paint our nails, go shopping for gun stuff, and then I'm going to need you to shoot me in the face."
"I’m sorry, lady, do you have somewhere else to be?"
"To hell with that generator. Just let me buy a new one, already."
"Just a little something I won at the carnival."
"Fuck, I can't stand this heat out here. Californians love to say 'oh, it's a dry heat,' like that's a good thing. Give me a wet heat any day." 
"You're.. a disgusting.. dog. And you know it." 
"Well, while we all mull over the meaning of this grand prophecy, I'm going to powder my nose."
"Chapter and verse. Well done, Ward."

the inherent homoeroticism of "no one gets to kill you but me"

@luvwich I'm stretching the definition of a sentence a little, but the sequence of most ridiculously extra sentences definitely goes to Valentine ranting in the middle of troubleshooting:
<I thought we settled on you being fucking out of your gourd an hour ago.> “I’m inside the fucking gourd. I am the goddamn gourd. This place has some sort of gourd-rotting fungus. Whoever worked here must have done something to this ancient piece of shit. It’s busted. Senile. Fucking cursed."
A small rant I think anyone trying desperately to make something work for several hours and failing miserable can relate to. :3
Alternatively, if we're talking something that I haven't actually published yet, from unhappy Post-Mikoshi recovery:
it sank in so easily she barely felt it until the blood was already welling up into the fabric (she was right, the fabric drank it quickly, hungrily, greedily) and then there was something cruel and awful and foreign in the muscle of her right leg, and she was afraid to pull it out and become strange once more.
To say I'm excited to get the first part of the longfic done so I can go back through this old draft is an understatement. >:3 (sighs) There's just something so fun about writing someone exclusively thinking animal thoughts.
i want to see a contender for the most outrageous sentence you have ever written. please
🙏 I am here to grant your wish but after reviewing contenders I have to know, does outrageous mean: (1) funny? (2) pretentious? (3) an embarrassment from innermost rings of the cut pile? (4) some bizarre collection of words that only make sense in the context of the batshit plot at hand? (5) dealer's choice?
