Spotify Wrapped #9?

I hope the memory’s killing you over there, don’t even front, you know that you just can’t compare what it used to be, I hope your jacket smells like me.

Nathan walked to school with a huff as he watched his pathetic little brother with Marinette. They had been officially dating for a little while now, everyone’s perfect definition of a couple. Gross.

Marinette grinned and laced her fingers with Felix’s, who visibly blushed and looked down with a smile. Pathetic. Oh, if she only knew… Nathan could do so much better and he knew it. 

The chance she had to go out with Nathan, the Nathan from the gym club, the one that everyone always wanted to date or attract the attention of. Marinette could’ve been the most popular girl in school, clad arm-in-arm with Nathan. She could’ve been powerful in that school, free to do whatever she wanted with whoever. 

But no, she decided to set her gaze on someone else. Not just anyone else, but Felix. Stupid, skrunkly Felix who couldn’t do anything right according to Nathan and their father. Ugh, don’t even get him started on their father. Their father, high and mighty in that colorless office of his, was of the opinion that Nathan and Felix were both failures. Everything they did was wrong, everything they did was meaningless. 

And maybe somewhere inside, Nathan was just lonely. Maybe he just wanted to have a chance to do something right, to be good enough for something. Someone. 

But no. That’d be ridiculous. Nathan liked to pretend he was better than everyone else to get away from that. And Marinette wanted no part in that.

“Marinette.” Nathan nodded as he marched past them, shoving Felix forward and almost toppling him.

“You don’t have to be so rude.” Marinette pouted, stamping her foot as she helped Felix regain his balance.

Nathan glared. “You don’t have to have such bad taste in men.” Felix shot him a look and silently kept walking. 

“Yeah, no kidding. I can’t believe I ever fell for you.” She sniffed with distaste as she tried to catch up to Felix.

Nathan growled under his breath, shoving his fists in his pockets. She could’ve had everything. She could’ve been everything. She could’ve been mine.

And that Felix. Nathan watched as Marinette slid into her seat, Felix tenderly sitting down next to her and silently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He was so gentle, so elegant, so… so… so pitiful.

No doubt, Marinette agreed to love him because no one else would, this was Felix. Where Nathan feigned superiority to be better, Felix shut everyone out. He was about as romantically desirable as the Grinch. 

Which meant she had to be pitying him. Pretty predictable, all things considered, she was nothing if not nice to everyone, adopting every little charity project she could because she was nice like that, Nathan figured. 

Nathan shrugged off his thoughts as he entered the building and dozens of people visibly cleared the way for him as he stormed past, some even swooning on sight. But not Marinette. She was still chatting away with Felix as he followed her like a lost puppy. Again, pathetic. 

But whatever. It’s not like she was the entire world. Only she was, to several people, and Nathan was determined to get her out of Felix’s cold hands and awkward embrace, and into his warm loving arms. He would hold her, keep her warm, so she wouldn’t even have to ask him for his jacket, like Felix always offered his. 

He wouldn’t be shy when she held his hand. She wouldn’t have to search for kisses and affection. She wouldn’t have to wait for him to make a move. She wouldn’t have to wonder if he was uncomfortable. 

He wouldn’t be Felix. 

But she didn’t want that. 

But whatever.

The reader-insert people seem to use "Y/N" in direct speech with a reckless abandon not seen since The X-Files was airing.

#iykyk #RIGHT SCULLY? #i a bit want to ask one of them about this as it's the very thing i'd have assumed such writers would do their best to avoid and yet..? #but i fear i am not young and hip enough to know people who write such things #“back in my day we had to invent violet-eyed young ladies with names like 'Carissa'' and pretend they weren't secretly us” *creaks* #no but really i kind of admire that the facade has been dropped and people can just openly indulge themselves like this at long last. #good-for-her-dot-gif even i personally tend to filter such things out. Y/N is a strong woman who knows what she wants in life! You go girl! #but what do you think scully?

That awkward in-between when you absolutely don't want to search a tag so you don't get spoilers, but you also already want to see fan art of the characters.

#the guy (Max) sounds HOT #also Carissa Broadbent writes such amazing female leads #just genuinely GOOD ones #Tisaanah already has my heart #please don't spoil

It's time to add negativity into the world. Anyone have an author they hate/dislike based on how they write?

#stephen king #i like you but the choices you made in many books... #devon price #i would jump him in walmart #he's such a patronizing ass and reeks of privilege and condescension #carissa broadbent #hurt my soul the sequel #authors #writing #books #i'm a hater #what can i say

Carissa's Wierd's "Songs About Leaving" is such a despondent album. The instrumentation is utterly lush, and accompanies some of the most dour and sarcastic songwriting that music in the States has seen - probably not outdone in the decades since they were on the scene.

I wonder sometimes what to do with my love for this band - on the one hand, their writing is very multi-faceted and there's a lot to pick up and learn from it, but on the other, it's utterly inconsolable, the way an angry lover would be. The theme of "leaving" on this album is metaphor for suicide; it's a feeling I'm moreso trying to pull my writing and my work away from recently, but in Carissa's Wierd, it captivates me.

Has anyone here ever heard of this band, or likes them, even? If so, I'd love to hear what you like about them. See if I can glean any new info that would help me come to a decision.
