#'for once nothing is burning' is from a poem in q quote compilation post on tumblr

[lord-squiggletits]

The thing that makes me mad about finding cool quotes/references to use as titles or some such for stories is they're basically impossible to consciously look for. Sure you can just Google "cool quotes" or something but it's just gonna return stuff that everyone knows. By nature the coolest quotes always come from things that you read/watch/listen to and are drawn towards, maybe not even realizing why you're drawn to them. You can't "look for" cool quotes because by nature the coolest quotes are the ones that are cool to you personally. So ultimately the only reliable way to find profound phrases/references is to consume a lot of art and find the things that are meaningful through sheerly opening your mind and trying new things

#squiggposting #like my fic titles/chapter names are varying degrees of clever or obscure #but i picked them bc they have meaning #'we are the music makers' is a poem that i found out about from one of my favorite movies as a kid #'for once nothing is burning' is from a poem in q quote compilation post on tumblr #inspiration strikes randomly and unpredictably. that's why it feels so novel #'pay unto evil' came from a bible verse which is like. the generic 'how to title a work of literature' trope #but theyre meaningful bc i picked them from things i found profound #and they work as titles bc they fit the story bc both the story and the title were specially chosen by me #idk if my explanation is becoming circular now
