  1. Right but to go to the dance...you need to go with people...
  2. No no no but I could ask them… except all my guy friends have significant others. AND IM FRIENDS WITH THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS so I can’t just do it to spite them
  3. Suddenly, a board he stepped on sank into the ground. 3 arrows shot out of the walls, right at him.
  4. @SmilingPanda19 The floor creaks ominously.
  5. As they pass through the center, they are buffeted by winds, again abruptly twisting between freezing and burning.
  6. Mat’s the one who takes his own wife prisoner before she’s his wife (sorta. It’s complicated). Then he gives her a horse
  7. Oh my stars I would way rather be courted than dated- *coughs* especially the way Mat Cuathon does it. Man what do we do when NO one can make the first move?? How do we…how…THERE HAVE BEEN THREE FRIDGIN GIRLS CHOICE DANCES IN A ROW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
  8. I’ve been exchanging memes with my writer friends. 

    Most aren’t about writing. 

    But…

      The second one keeps making me think of the scene in Othello where he smothers his wife with a pillow-

      Which means I keep seeing my one friend who played Othello smother my other friend who played his wife-

      These are truly amazing- honestly, I've had some of these before, but they disappeared- truly amazing.

  9. Ok ok PLEASE don’t be a dry texter. A lot of guys I know are fantastic to talk to in real life, and then you text them and it’s like they’ve been possessed by a demon who can only respond with “cool”. For the love of all the slugs in the cytoverse, have a normal conversation
  10. WAIT IM LATE SORRY

    Hope you had a great birthday!!

  11. It’s dark and dusty. The floor creaks ominously. There’s a large atrium, with spiral staircases in each corner. Overlooking the space is a balcony that tilts dangerously.
  12. Romantic is lovely :)) OoooOOOoo thanks guys I'll probably do these at some point
  13. Soon, he came upon a huge mansion. It was beautiful, but the longer he looked at it the more he could tell it was ancient. The wood was rotting, and shingles from the roof were littered across what had clearly once been a lawn.
  14. Hellllllpppp I need tragic/romantic/gory writing prompts (@The Wandering Wizard @CalanoCorvus c'mere bros I need you)
  15. Oo, wait I actually love this idea. I love your pitch too, that sounds like such a cool story! Hmm...I've never really tried to pitch my current project, maybe I'll give it a try at some point though!
  16. Yes
  17. No, but I've also known mine for a very long time, our stake president is my dentist so...
  18. It's a bittersweet sort of night. There are lots of reasons, but I'll share one of them here.

    So...okay back up. The area I live in is very much an older place. There are lots of old houses, and well...people who've been living in them for three times as long as I've been alive. (Yes, we all have preassigned assignments for funerals) (joking aside though...it's sad)

    Anyway, I'm friends with a lot of older couples and people. 

    Back up again. To those who aren't a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you've probably heard at least something about missions and missionaries. It's pretty well known that most 19 year old boys in our church go on missions, and a lot of girls too. But what isn't as well known is that we also have senior missionaries. Wonderful older couples who, instead of enjoying a peaceful retirement, choose to leave their homes and serve the Lord in a foreign country, sometimes learning new languages too.

    Back up again. When I was maybe...uh...5? When I was younger, my grandparents went on one. I didn't notice it very much, since they live pretty far away from me, so I really only see them a few times a year. When I was a little older, they did another one.

    Then 2 years ago, a couple in my ward went. But it wasn't just people I vaguely knew, it was people I honestly feel closer to than my actual grandparents. I grew up fishing in their pond, their granddaughter is still one of my best friends, and I've spent so many hours at their house. They're so kind and loving, and suddenly they were gone for an entire year. 

    And tonight...

    Well, it feels like I'm losing a pair of grandparents for the 4th time. I know they'll be back, and it isn't like they're dying. But...wow. They're both retired English professors, and we can just talk for hours about whatever. They have horses that I take care of whenever they go out of town. I didn't realize how much I relied on them until we went over there tonight and talked for about 2 1/2 hours and...well, they fly out tomorrow. 

    Anyway, it's a little melancholy and a little beautiful and a lot of other things, too.

    ALSO monstrous storytelling SU aside, I'm trying to memorize Heartbreak Hotel because we start choreo for it on Tuesday, and half the lyrics are basically saying I'm so lonely I could die...and it's so overdramatic because, y'know, it's Elvis, but scudding stars and slugs above it's hitting me :P 

    Ahhhh yeah life is mostly good. How are you lovely people?

    One family.

      *hugs all*

      Thanks guys <33 and I hope things get better for you all too.

      @justice magician, they can but we're not technically related to them, I've just known them forever. But they have way more freedom than younger missionaries, and they'll be sending emails that I can read too :)

  19. ...maybe let's leave that in the past
