omfg i forgot that i never showed tumblr my greatest achievement. my pride and joy, my pi-ass de résistance

 I see you in the buzzing of bugs, and the restlessness of chickens.

 I see you under my skin, and under my tongue. In the fat of meat and the vile of illness.

 I see you in your absence and abundance, in both the feast and famine. In gore along the black paved street. In the red upon wet lips.

 You live in between the tears of men and the laughter at a child’s naivety. You hang upon my shelves and again upon my frame as though it were never mine at all.

In screaming lines and silent words.

 Others bear you maroon, yellow, red. A tool to be used and paint violence across walls.

 Others see you in blue, black, purple. The hanging doom above them, no end to the depthless clouds.

 Why do I see you in everything at all? Another, another, yet another.

Tinted sad and silent and inevitable, yet not cruel by choice. When suffering, are you not safer? And yet, I don’t want you. I want to live, but to live is to be surrounded by you. Your absence brings us boredom, your arrival brings discomfort. So what are we to do?

Where are we not to see you, if you live in everything?

Well.

Perhaps we are to live beside your patient steps.

How to Write a Ruthless Character

A ruthless character is all about the endgame. They don’t care how they get there, lying, cheating, using others, it’s all fair game as long as they win. When writing them, show how they can cut off any distractions or emotions, making decisions that others would hesitate over.

These characters don't let feelings get in the way. Compassion, guilt, regret? Nah, they don’t have time for that. Show how they can turn off their emotions and make choices purely based on logic. They’ll do things that seem heartless to everyone else, but for them, it’s just another part of the plan. It’s not that they don’t feel anything, they just choose not to.

Boundaries? What boundaries? A ruthless character doesn’t care about rules unless they can bend them to get ahead. They’ll do things no one else dares, crossing lines others are too scared to even approach. The more uncomfortable their actions make people, the more it emphasizes just how far they’re willing to go. For them, pushing limits is just another day.

They don’t act on impulse. Every move they make is planned, and every risk they take is calculated. They weigh the pros and cons before acting, and they’re always three steps ahead of everyone else. Writing a ruthless character means showing that they’ve already figured out how to win while everyone else is still trying to figure out the rules.

Betrayal is their go-to move when things get tough. Friends, allies, even people who trust them, no one is safe. They’ll turn on anyone if it benefits them. And the best part? They’ll sleep just fine afterward. Show how others react to their betrayals, shocked, hurt, furious, while your ruthless character shrugs it off like, “It had to be done.”
