Prompt

When your spending time with your dad but you have to disappoint your mom by saying that you're with friends because life sucks and you can't tell her you chose dad over her just cause he asked first. So now not only is she disappointed in me but I'm also disappointed in myself.

“I wasn’t very kind to myself for a really long time and I’m trying to learn that now. So do what you need to do, and push yourself, but also forgive yourself if you fuck it up, or if you’re struggling.”

— Chelsea Wolfe, from an interview with Julian Lara c. November 2019

things you can use in place of cultural monsters

Can't use golems in your fantasy world because they're beings that belong to Judaism and you aren't Jewish? Try using elementals!

Can't use w*nd*goag in your story because they're monsters from Native beliefs and you aren't Native? Try wraiths or forest spirits!

Can't use Skinwalkers, either? How about changelings, The Thing-type aliens or faeries?

Don't want to use Christian biblical angels? Try eldritch monstrosities from another world.

Don't want to namedrop La Llorona, Hachisukisama or the Cupecabrah? How about old-fashioned undead, zombies or ghosts?

Just because certain supernatural beings are only for certain groups, doesn't mean you have to limit your monsters! There's plenty of demographic-neutral alternatives to famous creatures that you can use without culturally appropriating or disrespecting people's beliefs.

Tfw you get off the bus and the bus driver says you're welcome and you respond with you too.

Dialogue Prompt

"W-why did you do all of this? If I'm not the chosen one, then what was the point of training me?"

"To hurt you."

"To hurt me?"

"Yes. I needed to destroy you and make you into someone new. Into the new chosen one."

"Why am I needed at all? Who's the real chosen one?"

"I am. And I've failed."

i know gays joke about the intimacy of hand touching and eye contact and whatever all the time and i love those jokes dearly but i think we’re all obsessed with these small barely visible gestures of love & closeness because bigger gestures ultimately make us targets for homophobia…like we want stories where gays gently touch hands at the train station or gaze at each other longingly or hug just a little too long etc because they reflect our real life experiences & usually those are the only kinds of public transgressions gay people are able to safely engage in. and sometimes not even that. sometimes a glance is enough to make you a target. sometimes you walk into a room and you’re a target. you know what i mean. gay intimacy is relegated to these infinitesimal moments because it is not allowed to exist otherwise. anyways im in a mood
