“I Love That Word. Forever. I Love That Forever Doesn’t Exist, But We Have A Word For It Anyway,

As a holiday gift to the rp community as well as my 700th follower gift, I’d like to introduce my very own FACECLAIM DIRECTORY ! It is full with over 500 faceclaims and includes their age, ethnicity, gender identity, and occupation for an easy search. If you see a mistake please message me and I will get it amended as soon as possible (keep in mind that some of the ages are off by a year). I will be updating this page every so often, so always check back for new faces or if you have a suggestion, feel free to drop it into my inbox!

New year writing goals

Trying to write more often is self-care. We write because we love it. Let's not make it a chore.

There is more to writing than getting words on the page. Research, plotting, outlining, daydreaming, making moodboards... all that is writing.

Not being able to write some days is NOT failure. Breaks are essential to refill your creative energy. Maybe just listen to your writing playlist and relax a bit or read a book or watch a show that inspires you.

Word counts are not absolute. If you realize you can't achieve your word count in the set timeframe, revise it. It's NOT failure, it's being efficient and aware of your own energy.

Be kind to yourself. Not finishing your goal is okay. Just engage with your creativity. Your mental health is more important.

listen. benji and victor don’t have chemistry & season 2 proved that. benji’s storyline was sort of random? he never apologized to victor or isabel about how he handled that argument? he danced at one game and i’m supposed to praise him for being a great boyfriend?

“we spent a whole season with victor & benji”…..so? that’s like saying “well that’s how it was, so it should just stay the same!!!” this is damaging rhetoric. time means nothing. i fall in love with people every other day. just because you’ve spent a lot of time with someone doesn’t mean you know anything about them. i don’t feel any closer to benji than i did in the first season.

also idk i just can’t ever truly relate to the white, masc, cis gay, (upper) middle class character w/ his pretty tame home life - it’s boring and i’m sure that’s why i prefer rahim, who feels more realistic as a character. (not discrediting benji’s story - it was important to discuss, but it felt out of place). don’t even get me STARTED on the “what does me being white have to do with it?”

victor says in ep 9 [referring to his parents, but the sentiment remains the same]: “maybe that’s part of the problem; what are the odds the first person you date is the person you end up with?”

from that same conversation, rahim echoes the phrase “felt like magic” to victor in the finale when he’s speaking about their relationship.

but either way, i like this (tired) trope of a love triangle. give me all of the cheesy, dumb tropes….but make them gay. we need them, in moderation.

take me with you. : road trip plot where muse a and muse b are like college roommates/best friends x1000 like they practically spend every moment with each other and everything and stay up all night watching reruns of their favorite shows, sharing almost every meal bc they’re cheap like that and don’t mind, having shitty jobs with huge dreams and all that. muse a has a long distance high school sweetheart bf/gf who moved across country for school/job and when their relationship starts to strain, muse a reallllly feels strongly about driving across country to see them to try and fix things (they also might suspect the person is cheating on them). flying ain’t an option bc they’re intensely scared of being in the air & also they have no car. that’s where their partner in crime, muse b comes in. muse b has the car, soundtrack, and the navigational skills, muse a has the money, the lively company, and the snacks. they ditch classes for about a week or something and plan it out vaguely but end up just bullshitting the rest of the trip there. 

attention: this is the MEAT of the plot!!!!! they go clubbing, visit lame museums, become extras in a movie, get kicked out of zoos/parks or some shit, stay in crappy motels, get stalked by someone who muse b is convinced a total psycho, attend festivals and act like total kids, are forced to take lots and lots and LOTS of detours, end up fixing the car once or twice, go camping in an abandoned barn/middle of nowhere/other shady place, crash random weddings, get arrested, almost start the apocalypse, and so much more. 

of course tons of weird, sexual tension and maybe even some things happen on the trip that they don’t wanna speak about which kind of adds some tension there (hell tbh they might not even reach their destination and decide to turn around) BUT if they make it to where they need to go in a matter of what was supposed to be a week trip ( now probably 2 or 3), muse a goes looking for their long distance bae when they get there and then gets their heart broken while muse b is there to help pick up the pieces. and then muse b picks this time when they’re gong back home to confess how they’ve always loved muse a but the past week(s) they’ve started to really, really fall in love with them and they don’t wanna ruin what they have and blah blah. muse a is confused, vulnerable but can’t deny that they’ve always felt this stronger connection with muse b compared to everyone else in their lives. then the two of them start to figure out their lives from there and learn how to love and give and GROW and accept and celebrate and so many fluffy and angsty things. FUCK. 

bonus points if: 

it’s a f/f or m/m plot and they have to do a lot of coming out to each other and then to family and friends back home

muse a does not feel the same way when muse b confesses their love at first and they have a really big, emotional, enlightening blow-upppp

when/if they get back home, muse b’s ex comes back in their life and becomes an obstacle between them and muse a

my least favorite part about cyberpunk is not being able to romance takemura.
