When a character doesn’t realize they’ve been, like, shot or whatever and they hand brushes against their side and comes away wet with blood, and they’re just staring at it like wtf is this and then their knees just totally give out on them and they sink down, maybe gasping a little as the reality finally hits them. That’s good stuff.
I see that, and raise you a character who knows they’ve been shot, but waits until the rest of their crew is out of sight to put their hand against the slowly spreading stain of blood on their shirt, then trying to steady their breathing so they can follow without letting on how injured they are.
Okay but like the character who doesn’t realize they’ve been hurt trying to see if everyone else is okay only to slowly realize that everyone is looking at them with mounting horror. Then they touch their side to find it’s wet and oh no
WHAT FLOWS THROUGH YOUR VEINS?
the blood of a giant. she slumbers under a mountain and as the rock crumbles she sighs in her sleep, pulling dirt closer like a living blanket, she breathes in earth like oxygen, safe, safe while she sleeps.WHAT FLOWS THROUGH YOUR VEINS?
starlight. rivers of it, shifting liquid starlight drawn from the sky into my skin, there is starlight in these arteries, thick like glue, a shade of purple mixed from glitter paint and day old bruises.WHAT FLOWS THROUGH YOUR VEINS?
salt water from the sea. yes my body ebbs and flows with the tide, and it stings like salt, like teeth sinking in against an open wound but salt is a natural antiseptic and as much as it hurts in the short term, in the long term this ocean is pure.WHAT FLOWS THROUGH YOUR VEINS?
it may be easier to ask me what doesn’t. i carry more than the world with each heartbeat, from the earth to the sky to the seas; inside me is legion.

tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb

“what sort of artifact do you want for your character”
“well, for starters, it should absolutely not make their life easier”

You know what I’d like to see?
More fictional couples where the whole Belligerent Sexual Tension thing actually plays out the way it does in reality.
Struggling not to crack a smile as you call them a total asshole.
Deliberately feeding each other straight lines for insulting comebacks, and thinking you’re being subtle about it.
Managing to pronounce “fuck you” as a term of endearment.
Getting really territorial about it when you see anybody else badmouthing them – like, excuse me, that’s my prerogative you’re treading on there, pal.
Also:
Acting theatrically offended by extremely minor flaws.
Telling each other to shut up when you didn’t even say anything yet.
Having entire arguments so well-practiced that you can set your partner off with a single word or gesture, and doing so on purpose.
Being deliberately rude and obnoxious to each other in really dorky ways and competing to see who breaks character by cracking up laughing first.
I feel personally attacked by this post.
