In a b l i n kof an eye,
I never got to say GOODBYE.
Imagine Dragons — Night Visions {Sentence Starters}
“Don’t hold back.”
“I won’t fall asleep.”
“I need to let you go.”
“I want to shelter you.”
“I’m bleeding out for you.”
“I’m coming home to you.”
“I’m sorry, I let you down.”
“It’s time to begin, isn’t it?“
“So, they dug your grave.”
“Welcome to the new age.”
“This is it, the apocalypse.”
“I’m just the same as I was.”
“It’s a revolution, I suppose.”
“We still are made of greed.”
“This is my kingdom come…”
“Will you just wait until I die?“
“I’m never changing who I am.”
“There’s nowhere we can hide.”
“This city never sleeps at night.”
“I’m waking up to ash and dust.”
“This road never looked so lonely.”
“Nobody else can take me higher.”
“I don’t ever want to let you down.”
“My age has never made me wise.”
“Don’t get too close. It’s dark inside.”
“I don’t ever want to leave this town.”
“Come with me and we will run away.”
“You can leave, now, it’s your choice.”
“Maybe if I leave tonight, I won’t come back.”
“Hey, yeah, don’t let ‘em know we’re coming.”
“Look into my eyes, it’s where my demons hide.”
“Don’t want to let you down, but I am hell bound.”
“They don’t see me come, who can blame them?“
“I can’t escape this, now, unless you show me how.”
“I’ve been waiting to smile, been holding it in for a while.”
“Your eyes, they shine so bright… I want to save that light.”
“Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low.”
“So, this is what you meant when you said that you were spent.”
“If you love somebody, better tell them while they’re here, 'cause they just may run away from you.”
“And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down, and it’s a long way up when you hit the ground… get up. Get up, now.”
burnbooking:
this is something that i’ve been meaning to talk about for a while now. it’s begun to weigh heavily in the community that i write in as well as those of others. it’s the idea that we should take pride in callout culture and completely obliterating accounts. that a callout post needs to be written for any and all transgressions, that one half of a story is gospel, and that roleplayers can be judged as problematic by association.
let’s start with face-saving apologies. the type of apology that a roleplayer will half-assedly give just to have a receipt of one. to appease those they hurt when the harm was intentional and in no way plan on improving themselves as a person. the kind of apology that is issued so they will sympathized with rather than ridiculed. these apologies are absolute bullshit. if you’re going to vague or be a bully or act out, own your behavior. i’m aware this sounds hypocritical coming from a burn book but what happens on the dash is a lot different than sending something to us. when posting on the dash your content is broadcasted to a direct audience. the same community. here, it gets thrown into an aggregate void and spat back out. don’t vague or talk behind someone’s back and believe that it won’t get around to them.
it shouldn’t be a goal to attack someone over petty shit. don’t criticize people for liking or not liking something that isn’t heavily problematic. you can dislike the vampire diaries but write with a stefan salvatore. you can hate damon salvatore as a character and still like the vampire diaries. what doesn’t need to happen is posting harmless opinions on your own blog and then being attacked for them. if someone is so hurt over another rper disliking their fandom then maybe roleplay isn’t for that person. stop being so fucking petty.
to attempt to destroy a persons reputation over hurt feelings is a stupid, selfish thing to do. keep your friend circle bullshit in your friend circle. nobody needs to be put on blast or shunned for actions that were not purposely or outright abusive or otherwise disturbing. you cannot claim to be looking out for your own mental health by seeking to turn people against another roleplayer who may have hurt your feelings. not only is it immature, it puts the other person’s mental health at risk and while some people on this website believe that the world revolves around them, i can assure you that it does not. nobody in this blue hellscape is judge or jury.
finally, it saddens me as well as the other mods to hear constantly from people who have been turned on by their friends and partners and are now having panic attacks because they’re afraid that they’re being slandered in private; that i, as well as many of my close friends, have become too paranoid to interact with certain people after negative experiences with roleplayers similar to them; that we’re still having to hear that people are being called “abusive” and “manipulative” and “toxic” for hurting another roleplayer’s feelings accidentally or handling a situation badly and then having such critical language thrown on their name.
behind every roleplay account is a person with a life and family and friends and feelings. they’re not merely account names to drag through the mud. think before you wild out or gossip or act like an asshole. it’s not all that difficult to have some god damn tact everyone once in a while.
i want to write relationships that are complicated.
i want to write the on-again-off-again relationships. i want the screaming matches and the cancelled dates and the hurt feelings and the second guesses and second chances.
i want to write people who completely shake up each other’s daily routine and flip their entire world on its axis. i want them to drive each other crazy and question why they bother sticking around and then remember the way their partner laughs or see them in a moment of vulnerability that tells them ‘this is is why i stay. this is why i love you.'
i want to write relationships with struggles. with class differences and financial divide. two people who are so completely different they somehow complete each other. i want the jealousy and the feelings of inadequacy that goes with it.
i want to write people who aren’t afraid to be honest with their partner. who aren’t afraid to say 'yeah you’re being an asshole’ followed by 'but i still love you, you idiot.’
i want the first time they see their partner cry and the morning after their first intimate night when everything feels so right.
i want people who get so used to one another that they stop going the extra mile. i want the ‘you don’t make the effort because you already have me’ argument.
i want relationships that challenge each other to be better people and make each other question their beliefs and moral compass.
but most of all, i want to write relationships that are real. that make you feel something. i want to go on the emotional rollercoaster right along with them.
that’s what i want.

“there’s no way i’d run into an unpickable door in THIS shack.” god, the place looked like it’d been abandoned for months, not even counting the smell of varying types of plants lingering around the place. a set of lockpick tools sat beside him, with his latest one ( a bobby pin, because desperate times call for desperate measures ) also being a bust.
finally, he moved to retrieve his first tool again, a huff escaping. “there’s no such thing as an unpickable lock, unless it’s electric...”
spunstories :
psa;; please, for the love of god, don’t try to force someone to write with you. it’s uncomfortable enough to have to politely decline the first time; don’t make them more uncomfortable by pestering them. some people have anxiety issues, or feel the need to please everyone. don’t guilt trip them. don’t pressure them. and please don’t be rude if they tell you no. they didn’t owe you a response, but they took the time to write one anyway. accept it graciously. thank them for their time and move on. respect their wishes. be a considerate human being.

what happened to your hand?
it’s a warning.
why are you cursing at me?
in fact, i guarantee it.
we’re building a treehouse.
i found this on top of our refrigerator.
sometimes i stick leaves on my hair. it helps cool your head down.
anyway, that’s what you’re supposed to say.
i know what you do with that sad, dumb policeman.
which injuries are you apologizing for, specifically?
when we first met each other, something happened to us.
he’s not dumb… but i guess he is kind of sad.
that’s a loaded question.
don’t say ❛hate.❜
come and get me, you bastards!
get out of my chimney.
i don’t like the snappy attitude.
stop feeling sorry for yourself.
those sons of bitches, they got him right through the neck.
nobody else does.
is that a yes?
those were your last words.
but he didn’t deserve to die.
she didn’t love me back.
all mankind makes mistakes.
i love you, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.
i love you, too.
why do you consider me your enemy?
that sounds like poetry.
i feel i’m in a real family now.
i am so so so so so sorry for going AWOL, it’s just that i’m focusing on a few projects, one of which i want to see through before anything else. so, mostly, @despairmade, with a couple parts “for funsies visual novel project” and “i am more than likely going to reboot one muse and combine them with another for a trio-muse blog”.
sorry for the lack of responses! it might be a while before I’m back active on this blog, it’s just that I want to finish despairmade while I’m putting myself to the grinding, you know?
