today I found out I've used an em dash more times in my novel than I've used my main character's first name

I write for the people who ask me why I read. I write for the people who tell me that reading is stupid. I write for the children who burn for the stories and the words. I write for the adults who burn for the stories and the words. I write for myself, to prove that I can. I write to see my name in a library. I write to be found in a corner of an old bookshop. I write to have my soul analysed and annotated. I write for people to headcanon, and make fan art, and imagine my characters in thousands of different ways. I write for the illiterate to be read to, for the blind to hear, the deaf to see. I write for the broken to relate to, for the broken to know they deserve to be fixed. I write for each and every one of you to love or hate or cry and scream or all of them.
But most of all. I write because the words can't help but escape me.

I want my characters to shatter.
I want them to bend, a little, and then fracture, a little, and to push on through, perhaps with a smile, perhaps with a grimace.
And then I want them to be torn apart at the seams, left with bloody nails and bloody knuckles and sobs so fierce that they strain into silence. I want them to cave in and crumble and to know that they have lost.
I want them to be ugly and disgraceful and complicated and human. I want them to have pain, and to grow beyond that pain too.
I want them to recover, perhaps upon their own strength but more likely with the kind warmth of others, and I want them to have hope and joy and a future of the sort that will never be perfect, never be not-haunted, yet will be wonderful all the same.
And I think that’s just being a writer, or at least the sort of writer that I am.

“A part of me still thinks that if I find the right words, it will save us.”
“Write until you surprise yourself”
“Why do I write. Perhaps in order not to go mad. Or, on the contrary, to touch the bottom of madness.”
“I want very little but the things I do consume me”

At the point where I just wanna post freely and carelessly about my OCs as if we've all known them for years, regardless of if anyone cares to read about them. I have vibes and they are eating me up inside.
Y'all are gonna get the most out of context posts about these sillies.

it's october. it's autumn. it's time for long walks, reading sessions, writing, baking cookies, carrying books in tote bags, listening to soft music as it rains, more reading and more writing.

Kinda giving I'm fourteen and this is deep but....
The moment when you relate more to book characters. When book characters are your best friends. When your free time is listening to music alone in your room. When you only hear the song. You zone out and books and songs and nothing else. School tells you failure. The sun tells you burns.
You prefer the rain. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is. The music echoes through your ears and you scan the page and you trace the rain. The three joys of your life. People call you pathetic because of your connections with what seem to be so random. You ignore them. Everything connects. You are connected to everything but people make you feel so ignored. They see you but they don't. You're in the background. You slip away unnoticed. It's raining. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is. The music at that party fades to silence as you turn the pages of your favourite book. This is almost perfect. Your favourite song. Now it's perfect. You are filled with emotions. It feels strangely familiar. Like you've been here in a dream. They call you pathetic. You ignore them. Your connection with these random things makes you who you are. You think of this perfect moment when you feel you are about to lose control. The moment when book characters are more relatable. Open up to people but remember what was always there when they called you pathetic. The day you lose your connection is the day that pigs will fly. When it rains you remember. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is. Take time to just be. Do everything you love. Being alone isn't always a bad thing. Take some time to be alone with the real you. Take some time to breathe in the smell of the rain. Open a book. Listen to music. Write a kind of story speech. Like me. I prefer the rain. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is.

Prompt 254
So. Danny might have accidentally become a bit of a cryptid. He didn’t mean to, but he’d become a bit nocturnal- like many an Amity Parker- and it wasn’t his fault that he couldn’t be bothered to make sound when he was tired. Or pretend to breathe or, okay, he could see why he kept freaking people out at the grocery store he kept going to. 
But it wasn’t his fault! He has to get food too! And really is it anyone else’s business? Seriously he thought that people wouldn’t be so surprised with how much magic is everywhere. Like you’d think they’d never seen someone who wasn’t fully human before or something. 
Oh great, there’s a journalist at the grocery store now- he’s going to ignore that and finish his shopping and then continue his online work. Ooh, and eat icecream. He deserves it for potentially putting up with this. 
Oh, it’s a little baby reporter, first couple of article thing. Adorable.

listen. this may sound like a reach but I don’t think house’s eagerness to go to the lesbian bar with thirteen was fetishistic glee. because like. okay. straight men love lesbians. but it’s only ever in a “conventionally attractive porn stars making out”, “I’ll pay these 2 strippers to kiss” sort of way, not exactly in the sense that they like to surround themselves with regular, real life sapphics. in fact, most hetero men despise the lesbians they meet in real life because they see them as either unattainable or unappealing disappointments to their fantasies. now, listen. house isn’t stupid, it’s not like he thought thirteen was gonna let him in on some hot girl-on-girl voyeuristic action, and he certainly knew he wasn’t about to get laid himself at a bar of ALL WLW. he’s an overconfident perv, sure, but not the kind who thinks he can ‘convert’ a gay gal, nor would he even desire to. the damn patient of the week is a guy who tried to ECT himself straight, which house obviously doesn’t believe is reasonable (this episode also gave us the shot where both house & thirteen are shown making a face in response to “I’m as straight as any of you!”)
with all of this laid out, you kinda have to assume that he was excited about the bar for another reason. dare I say it was simply… the joy of existing in a queer space as a queer person?
