and quickly turning away when they return your gaze
scented candles
matching necklace and rings
random “this made me think about you”s
“uh, so i find *your favourite character* very neat…tell me more about them?”
getting your lover a flowerpot
and when they ask laughing, “why are so extra? you could have just brought a flower”
you gently reply, “i want our love to grow and blossom, not to be a temporary pleasure, beloved.”
subconsciously linking little fingers

discussing what to make for lunch/dinner/what groceries to get
divvying out who does what chores, both on a general basis (i'm usually the one doing laundry, my wife usually does dishes) and on a case-by-case basis (when one of us doesn't feel like or cannot do the chore)
decorating together (and discussing if teal is a good color to paint the bedroom in)
receiving visitors together (and cleaning the place beforehand)
hanging out together, doing something together or doing something individual (but still being together in the same room because you want to be close to each other)

cuddle in bed together (but, and this is rarely depicted, not always sleeping in each other's arms or even in the same bed - my sleep is too light; I'd wake up each time someone moves close to me. other people run hot in the night and don't need other bodies in bed with them. people snore. people have different circadian rhythms.)

types of fantasy subgenres - writing help
high / epic fantasy - a genre of fantasy that holds its own world and creatures. examples of this could be J.R.R. Tolkien's LOTR, or C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia
low fantasy - a genre where there are regular magical happenings in "our" world—such as a magical school, or people with magical abilities. this could be found in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, or Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away
urban fantasy - essentially low fantasy, only it takes place in an urban setting such as a big city. an example of this is Cassandra Clare's City of Bones
sword and sorcery - fantasy that is centred around swords, magic, and witchcraft. it is a subgenre of high fantasy. a book is Robert E. Howard's Conan series
dark fantasy - fantasy elements mixed with horror. The Atlas Six, by Olivia Blake
fable - a story with a moral lesson
arthurian fantasy - anything derived from the tales of King Arthur (the Sword in the Stone, etc.)
crosswords fantasy - essentially where the main character crosses between their world and a fantasy world. an example of this could be Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland
dragon fantasy - what it sounds like.
historical fantasy - a cross between the historical fiction and low fantasy subgeneres. it could be set in a royal court filled with goblins, for example, in a time that was once present on earth.
SIGNAL/NOISE
there was a shift in the universe ever since this happened
Who makes the porn bots. Where do they come from. What do they hope to achieve.
I love this video so much. I thought I was the only person who experienced these things. this made me feel normal for the first time in my life.
to any other neurodivergent people out there: you're not crazy, or deranged, or disgusting. you're not a bad person. your intrusive thoughts are not your desires. and you are not alone.
ableists don't even make eye contact with this video.

I cant stop laughing at this
Her name is Kira Obedinskaya.
She’s 12 years old and she’s from Mariupol.
Her mom died when Kira was an infant. Her dad, Yevhen, died during the r*ussian shelling of the city on March 17. Kira was wounded while trying to leave the city and (with people she was together) forcefully deported to Donetsk - on the territory occupied by r*ussia.
It’s kidnapping.
It’s mass deportation.
It’s happening right now and I want to scream about that at the top of my lungs.
Kira has a grandfather, Oleksandr, who wants to take her home, but he’s unable to do so. Mostly because r*ssians are unwilling to negotiate. And, probably, because they sincerely enjoy torturing people.
The only thing I can do is scream about her. About her and about all the broken lives. And maybe, just maybe, if we scream loud enough we’ll be heard.
So please, scream about Kira too.
And this is exactly why I get upset when ppl downplay Storm. Sis has a number of titles and you think they just for play?!
How To Write Saucy Betrayals
First consider the type of betrayal you want. Will it be minor to the story or absolutely earth shattering? Will you be leaving little breadcrumbs/hints for the reader to piece together, or will it come out of no where and blindside both the reader and characters? Be careful though because the latter can feel unrealistic or make the reader feel cheated.
Here are some tips on how to write betrayals in your story:
1) Set up the betrayal in a way that isn’t obvious. Leave tiny clues, use foreshadowing, drop hints in the background. Body language and dialogue can be great places to add subtle hints.
2) Make your readers invested in your characters. If the reader doesn’t care about the protagonist or even the betrayer, they won’t feel anything when the big deception happens.
3) The betrayer needs a motivation. Why are they betraying your protagonist?
4) It has to have an effect your protagonist. Usually the betrayer is someone close to the protagonist, so when they are deceived, it hurts like crap.
5) Do some research on the craft of lying. It can be hard for a character to keep up a mask for the entire story. Google some real-life betrayals in history, or in famous literature/movies. Study how the betrayals are hinted at and effectively revealed.
6) Play around with POV. A fun way to build tension is to have certain characters know things that others do not. Or perhaps your readers know about the betrayal-to-be before the characters do. This could put them on the edge of their seats waiting for your characters to figure it out before it’s too late.
7) Betrayal isn’t black and white. I don’t think betrayal is as simple as good and bad… it can get muddy. For example, what if the betrayer is being blackmailed? Mind controlled? Manipulated? Here are a few betrayal pathways to consider:
Evil from the start to the end, was never truly a friend.
Manipulated into betraying their friends
Wants to be on the “winning side”
Is offered gold or safety of their family for the betrayal
Blackmailed or threatened into the betrayal
They’re lesser or a “loser” in the beginning and can obtain power through this betrayal
Conflicted and stuck in between— this betrayer doesn’t know which side to pick and is constantly being tormented between the choice
The betrayer feels cheated/overlooked by the protagonist and choses to switch sides.
They’re betraying the protagonist to secretly protect them
They have no choice— literally. Mind control or magically forced
They think they’re genuinely doing the right thing
A remorseful betrayer who realizes his mistake but it’s too late, he is too far gone or the damage has already been done.
