Jezdit v létě stanovat

a zbytek roku stagnovat

v nestabilní době,

diagnóza mladej člověk,

zůstávat povinně

ve dvojí rovině,

nebavit se o vině,

když ti večer ovíněn

padá do postele,

ale ráno nezastele,

hledat vyrušení

od každodenní

lži, že společnej život je fajn,

z rádia nechat hrát Mein

Herz Brennt a ztrácet se v němčině,

sedět mu na klíně

a vědět přesně, co myslí, když říká „mein Schatz, bitte,“

v tom samým bytě,

kterým včera provedl jinou holku,

poslouchat moderní úpravy folku,

dokazovat si tak kulturní cítění

a ve skříni kostění

skeletoni visí,

lebky jako krysí

skrýše, co čas nikdy neporuší,

zavést doma jednodušší

estetiku

bez skeptiků,

sípat „budu zvracet“,

buzerace,

prohraný závody,

prstýnky hozený do vody

při zamítnutých žádostech o ruku,

rozchod svedenej na poruchu

hybnosti v oblasti citový motoriky

a na zhasnutý světlo zkoumaný bez optiky.

Ve volném čase si píšu básničky, tak si sem hodím nepatrné promo.

a theory:

Aelin, Feyre and Bryce have so much in common it almost seems intentional. What if the similarities are a part of a bigger scheme? Both the parallels in their stories and in their characters? What if she's plotting something?

A lot of people on tumblr are disappointed by her using the same pattern in the books -

almost too perfect first love, not that fitting second love and then the third - the mate

born to be someone really powerfull but hiding it/not knowing it

one specific form of art (music/painting/dance)

rattling the stars (inspiring/making a change in the world, in COEAB soon to come, I think)

the overuse of the word "incarnate" (anyone else annoyed by it?)

tattoed & flying boys (and gradually the girls)

Could be lazy writing, but what if she's done it in purpose? What if it all plays a big role in the future, maybe when they meet? We already know their worlds are connected, a crossover is imminent! I can't imagine that they won't notice anything when they meet?

In August of 2021 I finished reading the mega-hit series: A Court of Thorns and Roses. I love these books, so of course I wanted to stay in Prythian a while longer. I designed a gown for each of the courts and did a little designer world building to go with them. This was a fun project, and I keep meaning to go back and create designs for the men and other key looks.

Human Lands: a practical green plaid dress
Spring Court: a frothy, feminine, bud-like gown
Night Court: an embellished velvet gown with a deep V and a high slit
Summer Court: a light gown of white and teal under a metal net overlay
Dawn Court: a gown of simple fabrics, full of pockets, connected to armor like embellishments
Day Court: a short toga style dress in white and gold. intricately pleated
Autumn Court: layered gown and leather jacket with hanging belted chains
Winter Court: A formal look of layered elements: leggings, gown, tabard, and cape for being glam in the cold

Bonus: My take on the Starfall gown

Starfall gown: sparkling gown covered in gems with translucent panels on the sides and shoulders

super simple low-effort ao3 summary methods that are 1000% better and 1000% less annoying than just saying you suck at summaries:

copypaste the first few lines of the fic. u already wrote ‘em. let ‘em be their own damn hook

if ur feeling fancy & don’t mind showing ur hand a bit, copypaste the first few lines of the fic that u feel are esp. Important or Interesting - the ones where u first start getting into the real meat of things

state the main tropes! theyre probably already in ur tags - just say them again - maybe as a full sentence if ur feelin fancy. or with a joke if ur feelin Extra fancy

ask a question. pose a hypothetical. eg what happens if u take [character] and put them in [situation]?

make an equation. [character] + [thing] = [outcome]

just write like a one-sentence summary of what the fuck is going down. just one (1) sentence. doesnt matter if it doesn’t cover every important aspect. or if it sounds bland. any summary sentence is gonna be miles better than “idk i suck at summaries”

just…explain the fic like u would to a friend? it doesnt have to be a polished back of the book blurb. it can just be “[pairing] coffee shop au, but like, still with murder, and also i made everyone trans. enjoy”

just stick a meme in there

honestly who cares

just put literally anything but a self deprecating comment in there & ur golden
