my wife is constantly mocking me for how lightly done I like my toast. “your hot bread is done,” she says to me. disgusting

a terrible rivamika wip i abandoned when i was 16

Did I ever tell you guys about my modern TGN au?

i recently befriended a flower who told me that in flower culture the type of soil you're born in defines your social standing

I mean then that flower is probably correct, I imagine a lotus has difficulty interacting with a daffodil. I know a great story about a cactus flower and a rose......

Writing Tip June 4th

A list of body language phrases.

I’ve included a very comprehensive list, organized by the type of body movement, hand and arm movements, facial expressions etc. In some cases, a phrase fits more than one heading, so it may appear twice. Possible emotions are given after each BL phrase unless the emotion is indicated within the phrase. (They are underlined for emphasis, not due to a hyperlink.)

Note: I’ve included a few body postures and body conditions as they are non-verbal testimony to the character’s physical condition.
