this isn’t necessarily new information (and is kind of inspired by various dash conversations I’ve seen), but there’s a difference between characters holding the Idiot Ball as a plot hole/authors awkwardly trying to maneuver their characters or plot towards a conclusion without making it make sense in-universe, and characters holding the Idiot Ball in ways that are actually congruent with their established character flaws or shortcomings, and actually make their character arcs more interesting as a result
Here is the list for October this year. Write something short (or long) and tag it with #fictober20 in the first five tags. Let’s see your creativity!
“no, come back!”
“that’s the easy part”

“yes I did, what about it?”
“I’m not doing that again”
“will you look at this?”
“all I ever wanted”
“I told you so”
“watch me”
“I missed this”
“you better leave now”
“not interested, thank you”
“I never wanted anything else”
“give me a minute or an hour”
“you don’t see it?”
“I can’t do this anymore”
“did I ask?”
“this, this makes it all worth it”
“and neither should you”
“do we have to?”
“are you kidding me?”
“sometimes you can even see”
“how about you trust me for once?”
“give me that”
“do I have to do everything here?”
“back up!”
“just say it”
“I trust you”

We all have our gambles. Just ‘cause I’m willing to bet on the long shot doesn’t mean I don’t know the odds.
I’m well aware that there’s a high chance that what we’re doing may result in doomsday for us all. But I pushed my chips into the middle of the table long ago, so I might as well play my hand to the end.
help I looked up a whole bunch of reference photos for the paso doble and now all I want to do is draw angry dancing Silmarillion characters
forgot to put it up on tumblr, whoops. chapter one of part two of the series, lead-up to the battle of ascalon. in which the lads begin to pine for each other like idiots without yet being able to discern that the pining is mutual, and also there’s a bit of espionage, just for fun
rolls up a year and a half late with starbucks and part one of the kaysanova getting-together fic series, in which nicky develops a conscience and absolutely no one gets together except to kill each other some more
