i love a good tumblr writing prompt but reading them again is starting to sound familiar like all the popular trope-ified plotless fantasy romance that’s been coming out for the past ten years spawned from right here…..

In spite of Schuylers black eyes, I have still a part for the public and another for my friends you;_ so your impatience to have me married is misplaced;_ a strange cure by the way, as if after matrimony I was to be less devoted than I am now. - Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens, September 16, 1780

Just wanted you all to know that Hamilton originally wrote that a part of his heart still remained for his “friends” but changed it so that said part of his heart was only for Laurens.

listen. as the biggest supporter of fanfiction ever. y’all need to stop publishing that shit.

i’m being so honest rn

some people are just meant to be fanfic authors. and that’s ok. but i would really love it if they would stop publishing books

like guys… this is what you want?

self insert badass female main character

the same male love interest (dark, shadow powers, not actually evil, etc)

a very clear list of trigger warnings and tropes that tell you exactly what’s going to happen

no actual discernable plot, just people doing cool things

no cliffhangers (god forbid you don’t get immediate closure)

smut scenes and characters being unreasonably horny all the time

this is me speaking my truth.

and telling y’all to get out of everyone’s faces and go back to wattpad from whence you came

Hawks: I don’t understand…how did you survive?

Jeanist: Simple, I recovered in a high tech, state of the art joffin

Hawks: A what

Jeanist:

Kristoff be like

shakespeare’s julius caesar but instead caesar says, “et tu, bestie?” when he gets stabbed

sadness

realization

resolve

guilt

acceptance

I think that's the moment where he realizes what Mage-Viktor wants him to do.. Viktor didn't say 'hey, i need you to shoot me', but when he gave him the hammer.. the look on Jayce's face says it all. Even his hand is trembling 😭 Jayce "I'm ready to kill because you asked me" Talis the same Jayce who went spiraling when he saw enforcers killed because of his decisions, who accidently killed a kid and tried to make peace with the undercity to prevent more death..

We are not enemies.
