“When people turn to fictional characters, it’s often because they want an escape. The stories of these people shelter us from the storm of our daily lives; they save us, if only for a little while. But when we really give in, become invested, let ourselves be vulnerable, something changes. We begin to feel that we know them. It’s no longer an escape, but part of us, something that makes us who we are.
These characters teach us that incredible adversity can be overcome. That people can love each other forever, That life can be an adventure. That magic can be real. And even if these miracles have never happened to us, we begin to go through life believing that, someday, they could.
If anybody ever tells me that storytelling isn’t important, I’ll show them this post”

YES. THIS. It doesn’t matter where the story lives - on a screen, in a book, in a video game - they all end up in our hearts. They end up becoming a part of our lives. No, more than that - they become part of our DNA. They become part of the air we breathe. They flow through our veins and inspire our dreams. And not because we give our entire lives over to them. It’s not about hiding. It’s about illuminating our lives, for the better, through the characters we love.
Stories make our lives just a little bit more livable.

tiny soap simply groovin out here
Hello! I hope you are doing alright while the world around us falls. I have a question for you. How do you find inspiration to write? I am going through a horrible writers block and I have NO inspiration whatsoever.
So, I know the feeling. For me, writing is kind of therapy. (Even if what I’m writing about has nothing to do with what I’m feeling. It takes the feelings and converts them into something else.) So if you don’t have unresolved feelings, or if you’ve shut them down because the world is a shit show, it can be harder to write.
Inspiration is nice, but if you just wait for inspiration to strike, you might be waiting for a very long time. Some days I don’t feel it, I just sit down and saying, “I have to write this scene, and I can come back and edit it later, once I’ve laid the bones.” Sometimes after a rough start, things flow. Sometimes I can get out a few hundred words, but I know it isn’t working, so I do something else. (Reading books from a genre other than what I am writing is super helpful for me to recharge.)
Outlining can help. Just write a few lines about what the scene needs to accomplish and what happens. You probably know your process better than I can guess.
Also, I think a lot about what I plan to write while I’m doing other things, such as running, driving, showering, working, falling asleep. I low-key have a process going in the background cycling through ideas. They aren’t all good. They aren’t necessarily focused. But I find that if I’ve been kind of brainstorming (or letting idle thoughts trail off into my subconscious), I have an easier time later on when I sit down to write. Sometimes I just run the outline through my head.
Example: “Oh yeah, that needs to happen but it would be boring just to have a meeting. Oh, and why would that character be there? I can swap them out or I need a better excuse. What are they eating? Does it matter? Hmm, I’m hungry...”
It took me years to figure out my process, and it’s worth it to try other things, but this is what works for me. Hope it helps!
Graves + Shadows Headcanons
Unsurprisingly, he's very protective of his Shadows. Yes, they're mercenaries and soldiers and very much capable of looking after themselves, but he will not tolerate it when clients treats his Shadows as expendable. They are his soldiers.
Graves has absolutely gone out of his way to get to know the Soldiers that work under him. He knows each and every one of them by name, a random fact about them and at least one of their interests.
Would and has killed for his Shadows at one point or another and would do it again. The same goes vice versa.
Movie night at least once a month in the rec room is compulsory.
Team bonding exercises/days out are also compulsory. They all need to get along one way or another if they're going to be relying on each out out in the field.
Has offered himself in exchange for the safe return of one of his soldiers who was captured during a mission.
Actually put an age restriction on becoming a Shadow. Being a mercenary isn’t easy and it’s very different to being a soldier in the army. All shadows are over 21 when hired, but even then most are over the age of 25.
Due to the nature of their roles, being injured enough to lose a limb isn’t as rare as Graves prefers. When this happens, he has always made sure the Shadow affected has access to the best medical care as well as prosthetics should they want it. If they decide to leave/retire from Shadow company after that, they are still given access to the best medical care money can buy funded out of Graves' own pocket.
Is surprisingly good at cutting hair! Some Shadows don't feel comfortable having a stranger cut their hair/see their faces underneath their masks if they wear one often. He learnt how to cut hair pretty well from his momma.
HUGE on his Soldiers going to therapy. Some missions are harder than others and especially stressful, it's important his Shadows have a place to vent.
Has several chefs with different specialities in the kitchen who are all able to create and cook nutritional and delicious meals that all cater to everyone’s eating preferences.
Many of the younger Shadows have called him dad at least once by accident. It’s a running gag at this point and Graves always laughs it off and then goes to his room to cry a lil bit.
Expanding on this, a lot of the Shadows view him as a parental/familial figure and Graves prides himself on that fact. He doesn’t see them as his own kids, considering some of them are older than he is, but he definitely considers all of them part of his family.
Further expanding on that, some of the older Shadows have called him 'son' on several occasions and he has caught himself almost calling them dad more than once.
One of his Shadows named their first born son after him. They brought little Phil to base when he was only a few weeks old and let Graves hold the kid and he 100% ugly cried and refused to give the baby back for a solid 2 hours.
Some of his Shadows have kids back at home. Graves has memorised all their names and birthdays and makes sure to send them a little something on their special days. The younger kids calls him Uncle Philly and he absolutely cried when he heard them go “Hi Uncle Philly!” across call once.
have a request? send one in!
I want to share some advice given to me by my mother, who has been writing longer than I have been alive, and is one of the wisest people I've ever met.
I was emotional and upset and told her "I'm burnt out and tired, and I think I may stop writing entirely."
She sighed, not unkindly, and said:
"Darling you may not have a choice. That's the thing about writers is that when they have a story to tell, it will not leave them alone until it is finished. Writers write not always because they like it, but because they have a gift and a curse to tell stories. When you keep it inside of yourself, it will find a way to get out whether you like it or not. It's not up to you. Take a break, allow your stories to rest, and when they are ready they will try to break free again."
I see people fearful that they get to a point where they will never put words to paper again. But the truth is once you find a story to tell, your story, it won't stay inside of you until it's finished. Isn't that magical? Isn't that beautiful?
Take your time, darling. The rest will come when it is ready
a/n: I'm sorry if it is terrible writing. Hope you like it anon-chan! ToT

Being part of Kingsman may or may not be easy for you. Another day and another time of feeling haggard with sleepless nights to fill your days. It is all worth it for you can contribute some help in anway you can even if not everyone knows it.
You, (Y/n), are the lover of the best Hacker's (at least for you) Kingsman, agent Merlin. You never how it became the the two of you but it is all a bliss. A bliss that made both of you to be together in this relationship. It may not look that the two of you are together because in the eyes of people, you act normal but in the closed doors it is different yet so endearing.
The two of you are alone in the working station of the base at the night because paperworks. You may be expert at being part of Kingsman but not this.... work of labor.
"Ugh and done" you said in your exhausted form.
"Merl are you finished at your works?" you asked Merlin as you looked at him still busy doing some works in the computer.
"Not yet, love" Merlin replied tiredly with his sleepy eyes
"You know, my beloved? You can continue the work tomorrow right?" you suggestively said towards Merlin.
"I know but I rather not be-*yawns*" Merlin replied.
"Well I'm right, we should go home and rest" You replied holding hands with him as both of you went home.
