bad idea right? - Olivia Rodrigo
Being out with friends tonight, this was good for him. It took some convincing (mostly from Dougie and some threatening looks from Lydia). They were right though; he needed to distract himself, even for a bit. It had been a couple of months after all, he hadn't heard from her. That was a sign, right? It really was over this time. Losing Zoe was a gut punch. The more time that passed, the less hope he had that they could fix this.
"Relationship trouble, what's new...I just don't know what else to do. I really wanted this to work. Guys are you sure you don't have any advice for me? I mean, you guys have experience with heartbreak. Right? I'll take anything." But advice just didn't come, they were not going to think about that tonight. Eric supposed that was the better option, but he just couldn't put heartbreak on pause. One drink after the other, and now he now felt like the room was moving a little too fast and his friends were talking a little too slow. Although, the drinks were helping him loosen up. He was laughing more, teasing Lydia and Dougie in the process. Then, his phone rang. At first, he ignored it. Nobody really called these days. But it rang again, and he finally looked down to check. Zoe. This was a bad idea, right? He silenced the phone, and let it keep ringing, except that texts began coming in. She's alone. Could they see each other? And the last text, an address.
Seeing you tonight is a bad idea, he texted back. They were done, they were through..but his brain just wasn't functioning properly anymore. So, seconds after his first message, he sent another text. Seeing you tonight...fuck it, it's fine. With that, he excused himself to go to the bathroom. That was today's excuse in his attempt to leave without being talked out of it. Ditching his friends was bad, and for the record, Eric did feel bad about it. This was Zoe though, it was a no-brainer. He had to go see her.

brutal by olivia rodrigo
❝if someone tells me one more time enjoy your youth i’m gonna cry! ❞ sloane was sick of everyone trying to get her to move on. she loved luther, and she missed him so much. he had been a breath of fresh air in her life, and he had shown her what true love and family was. she knew she was upset and not much help for everyone, but truly, none of them understood. diego and lila had one another, viktor had left, and how could five? she just wanted luther. she was done with being nice. she had spent her whole life being the rock for everyone. keeping things together. ❝just leave me alone five. you have no idea what this feels like!❞

how to make a wip playlist
@writingwithacutlass on instagram <3
source: me :)
hello and welcome back to my page! today’s post is exciting because i absolutely l o v e making playlists for my wip and characters. i know lots of you have playlists for your wip, but i’m sure many of you are wondering where to start, where to find songs that fit your wip’s vibes, etc. luckily for you, i’m here to help you with that :) let’s get on with the post!
characters
probably the first thing you want to brainstorm songs for is your characters. i prefer to make individual playlists for each of my main characters, but you can add these songs to your wip playlist as well. things to think about: their childhood, their personality, pivotal events in their life, their relationships, etc.
plot
the second thing you’ll want to find songs for is your wip’s plot. what songs would be playing during certain scenes in your wip if it was adapted into a movie? it can be helpful to think of your wip playlist as a soundtrack! for example, if your wip contains lots of battle scenes, artists like ruelle and valerie broussard have some very cool battlefield-type songs! if you’re writing a contemporary romance, find some fluff songs like cloud 9, or some angsty or sad breakup songs such as champagne problems or last kiss by taylor swift.
vibes
this is key to creating a perfect wip playlist! okay maybe this is just me since literally everything i do is based on ✨vibes✨ but you know what i mean. think movie soundtracks—the overall vibes of the song are just as important as the lyrics. is it ethereal or spooky? does it sound like a fairy could be playing this on a pink mushroom? does it make you feel like you’re standing on the battlefield with a sword in your hand? how does it make you feel?
where to find songs?
now you may be wondering, where on earth do i find songs that fit my wip ?? fear not, i’ve got you covered. i recommend using spotify because it gives you song suggestions to add to your playlist based on the songs you’ve already added to it! i haven’t used any music streaming app besides spotify so maybe there’s others that do this as well but yeah. you can also find playlists that other people have already made and choose songs from there! for example if you have a scene in which a character is running from the cops, you could search “running from cops” and a bunch of playlists with that title will come up, and you can listen to those and choose songs you think fit.
songs starter pack
and because i’m just that helpful, here are some artists whose songs might fit your wip based on its genre / vibes. and you simultaneously get to experience some of my superior music taste. you’re welcome <3
fantasy: ruelle, valerie broussard, halsey, fleurie, tommee profitt, beth crowley, SVRCINA, ramin djawadi
romance: taylor swift, ed sheeran, olivia rodrigo, lana del rey, bruno mars, harry styles
mystery / thriller: billie eilish, lana del rey, ruelle, lorde
scifi: michael giacchino, hans zimmer, alan silvestri
dystopian: imagine dragons, lorde, billie eilish, 2WEI, arctic monkeys, J2, hidden citizens
contemporary: taylor swift, olivia rodrigo, conan gray, girl in red, clairo, dodie

lyric starter for @tohuntarose - brutal by olivia rodrigo
Zane shook his head with immediate distress, safe to say he freaking the hell out right now. He’d been given literally one simple task and it was all beginning to crumble down around him in an unforgiving wrath of fire. And even worse it was happening in public, word would definitely get back to Jack and the Mayor. Embarrassed and unraveling he through his hands in the air in defeat. “ All I did was try my best! This the kind of thanks I get?”

"Bought a new prescription to try and stay calm."
"There's always something missin'. There's always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong."
"When pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?"
"I could change up my body and change up my face, I could try every lipstick in every shade, but I'd always feel the same, 'cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyways."
"You can win the battle, but you'll never win the war."
"Fix the things you hated and you'd still feel so insecure."
"I try to ignore it, but it's everything I see. It's on the posters on the wall, it's in the shitty magazines. It's in my phone, it's in my head, it's in the boys I bring to bed. It's all around, it's all the time and I don't know why I even try."
"I bought all the clothes that they told me to buy."
"I chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life."
"None of it matters and none of it ends, you just feel like shit over and over again."
TEENAGE DREAM.
"When am I gonna stop being wise beyond my years and just start being wise?"
"When am I gonna stop being a pretty young thing to guys?"
"When am I gonna stop being great for my age and just start being good?"
"When will it stop being cool to be quietly misunderstood?"
"I'll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me. Got your whole life ahead of you, you're only nineteen."
"I fear that they already got all the best parts of me, and I'm sorry that I couldn't always be your teenage dream."
"When does wide-eyed affection and all good intentions start to not be enough?"
"When will everyone have every reason to call all my bluffs?"
"When are all my excuses of learning my lessons gonna start to feel sad?"
"Will I spend all the rest of my years wishing I could go back?"

"Seeing you tonight is a bad idea, right?"

🎁
EYES ARE NARROWING DAGGERS, pent up anger and fury. if looks could kill, the musician would be six feet under. stepping foot off the stage, interrupting her own rehearsals after spotting the boy. that's all he was in her books : a boy! a stupid, stupid boy who deserves to get hit by a bus! for sharpay? she'd arrange that! if there is one word to describe the raven hair girl is loyal. there was nothing more important in the world than friends and family : they kept her grounded in the world of [ supernatural ] famous chaos. yet, she remembers the rush of emotions seeing the article. if sabrina was enraged, devils know what sharpay felt!
TMZ HEADLINE : SHARPAY AND TROY ON THE OUTS - TROY'S NEW FLING!
" how's the castle built off people you pretend to care about? " storming in his direction, shouting as the gap between them closed. several stage members stepping away from their direction, knowing the drama was, although juicy, none of their concerns. especially not one they want to be around when an angered sabrina was fuming! " what is wrong with you!? how could you do this to her?! "
spotify wrapped has arrived. send me a number from 1-100 for a starter based on that song, or a lyric from it, or send a 🎁 for me to shuffle … song : vampire x olivia rodrigo

@equationsoff {{&&sloane&five}} brutal by olivia rodrigo
❝if someone tells me one more time enjoy your youth i’m gonna cry! ❞ sloane was sick of everyone trying to get her to move on. she loved luther, and she missed him so much. he had been a breath of fresh air in her life, and he had shown her what true love and family was. she knew she was upset and not much help for everyone, but truly, none of them understood. diego and lila had one another, viktor had left, and how could five? she just wanted luther. she was done with being nice. she had spent her whole life being the rock for everyone. keeping things together. ❝just leave me alone five. you have no idea what this feels like!❞
