Rip Dorian Gray U Would've Loved Staring At Urself In The Little Square On Facetime

little miss awful body temperature regulation is taking his hoodie off again

Guess who's finally starting tsh after having it staring at them from their shelf for like 2 years

Don't FUCKING argue with me. "Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. He didn't want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother." Is a fucking dynamite intro!! Is it edgy as fuck? Yeah. So? Is it hella melodramatic? Probably. So? Is it bad writing? Motherfucking NO! It's damn near expert level execution of several writing principles!

Who is the story about? First two words, next question.

Catch the reader's attention as soon as possible? "Why the fuck is he wasting a cigarette?" Intrigue successfully demanded, next question.

Raise questions that will keep the reader hanging long enough to have answered? "Why the fuck does acrid smoke trigger his mommy issues?" + "Wait it's because he burned her corpse??" Many many more questions raised + blind sided reader via preconceived expectations being subverted, next question.

Character establishing moment? What other characters use for physical and emotional regulation, he uses to fucking reminisce and wallow in his feelings, next question.

Set the tone for the rest of the story? Edgy, melodramatic, and emotionally gut wrenching, NEXT. FUCKING. QUESTION!

The Muses asked Nora to roll for Hook and she rolled a nat 20 five times in a row in 30 words or less. Hook, Line, and motherfucking Sinker bitches

Some of y'all need to stop ragging on AFTG's writing and start using it as a fucking case study cus this shit has the addiction capacity of heroine and god help the goddamn saltine cracker throwing stones

Andrew Minyard has a beautiful brain and is quite the comedian, as we can all read in the books ('is your learning curve a horizontal line?'). So I introduce to you the headcanon that during movie nights Andrew will whisper all kinds of commentary in Neil's ear, and Neil regularly dissolves in giggles or straight up laughter and everybody is so confused because the scene wasn't even that funny? Is Neil hearing voices? Stoic Andrew Minyard cannot possibly be that funny right? Neil just waves them off and tries to hold his laughter in. Andrew, btw, is very smug about the fact he can make Neil laugh like that.

becoming the eyes and hands of a sentient forest your boyfriend created is peak boyfriendism, soulmate behavior, couple goals. maybe that's just me tho

why is Richard sickly for like 95% of the book he's always complaining about being exhausted and faint and nauseous and riddled with headaches and his solution is LETS HAVE MORE PILLS AND ALCOHOL??
