Some Words To Use When Writing Things:

I want to write but I never know how to start something. Any tip?

As silly as it sounds Darling, I suggest you just start writing. You don’t have to have a concrete plan, or even a hint of a plan, just start writing and let the story take you for a ride. You don’t even have to start at the beginning.

As an example, even if you have no idea what to write, just come up with a key word or the beginning of a sentence.

“grandmother” can turn into “You’ve always looked up to your grandmother”

From there you just keep writing, ask yourself why the character looks up to their grandmother, what reasons could there be, both mundane and fanciful. Just like that you keep on building, and eventually you have something to run with.

It sounds silly enough, but I’ve found that no matter how hard I’m struggling to come up with something, if I just start writing, something’s going to happen eventually.

Hope that helps you a little Darling. I have more advice under the advice tag, some of which is more in depth than this, if you decide you want more.

I found a stack of old pictures in the attic, everyone in them looks really happy…

Do you think it's possible for the show to come back from where it's at? This entire second season has disappointed me further with each episode and I feel they've destroyed Liz's character.

Hmm... well I don’t think I’m going to get the resolution I want out of Echo’s fight. So for me it’s more about whether I can isolate this specific arc enough to enjoy S3 Echo. Similarly, I really want to move away from scenes of Liz arguing about her right to others’ DNA so I can isolate that storyline in my head as well. If we’re not getting an apology, then switch gears so I can too lol.

I do think there’s a lot of good content that could come from Echo working together as exes, with tension, bitterness, awkwardness, and pining. I also personally love the idea of Jones making things hella awkward for Echo, and Echo maybe having to navigate Jones trying to infiltrate the group and replace Max (e.g., Max saying “Jones left”, and Liz being the one to realise that it’s actually Jones having locked Max up [chained to the floor!] and pretending to be Max after learning how to imitate him). That’d be fun for me.

As it is, I’m still enjoying Max’s story. I love watching him get more alien, being able to read/understand alien language, being able to “communicate” with all these things, connecting more with his family and trying to understand his own identity/history. Him starting to unravel is fun, but also, it was interesting to see him choose himself in 2x13. Everything he’s done in the past has been for his siblings or for Liz, so this is new territory that he’s choosing to stay in Roswell for himself. And I’m excited about the clone!Max speculation coming true (that ridiculous fucking beard aside, lmao).

If I stopped enjoying the Max stuff as well, then I would be out 🤣 I don’t know where the rest of Echo fam is at right now tbh.

After three (3) years since the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) dir. Anthony and Joe Russo, I still don’t understand why the Captain America exhibit was held in the Air and Space Museum. Steve Rogers is not even a pilot. The only time he ever manned a plane, and he nosedived it straight into the Arctic. 

it au where everything’s the same except they’re all wearing taylor swift merch

Five: Dont mess with the timeline!

You owe me one, sis.

I want to love myself more this new year. I want to feel daisies growing in my bones. I want to clean the sadness inside the ocean in my head, and I want to breathe without hesitating. I want to think about the future more instead of suffocating in the past. I want to think about good things, not the bad things that can happen. I tend to drown myself in a million scenarios that could rip my skin apart, but I want to be more confident and think that I’m deserving of some never-ending glory. I want to love myself more this new year because I’m the only person who can truly make me the happiest, I just need to realize it.
