sometimes making tea is less about drinking it and more ab it keeping you company
Writing is not always writing.
Writing is being on the train and mentally seeing your OCs stumble into other people, or flinching away from the germ-ridden handrails, or sleeping on each others’ shoulders.
Writing is hearing a song on the radio and watching one of your scenes play out to the lyrics.
Writing is laying on your floor or sitting by your computer and spending hours collaging newspaper clippings or pictures or people or plants together and making something that is completely, uniquely, your story.
Writing is drawing your characters in your notebooks, and making tea only your one, picky character would drink, and writing an open letter to all your characters just to remind them you love them.
Writing is moodboards, and playlists, and crafts, and asks, and prompts, and pictures, and memories, and you.
So never think that just because you’re not putting words on a page, you’re not a real writer. Writing is something that follows you everywhere, beyond the word document, and beyond the screen.
Because writing isn’t something you do. It’s something you are.

when i was in middle school nickelodeon on directv broke and it froze on the same frame for five hours. which would not have been so bad, except it was during the episode of spongebob where he goes to live with the jellyfish. specifically the scene where he’s naked and covered in sea urchins and flopping all over the place trying to get them off. and it froze on the frame where spongebob was facedown on the ground, naked. so he was laying there like that in complete silence for five hours. we would change the channel back every so often to see if he’d gotten up, but he was still like that when we went to bed. none of my friends had directv so when i asked them the next day they hadn’t seen it, but my brother and i were pretty convinced that spongebob was dead.
Me: loves a character
That character: fuckin dies
Me: classic
Kingdom’s Stories
Spade
Represent power. The Kingdom of Spades is very prosperous as the values of respect and loyalty run strong. Despite their beliefs, the other kingdoms view the Kingdom of Spades as power hungry, war driven, and greedy. Since they present power, the Kingdom of Spades and its citizens get bad reputations among outsiders and are usually the first to be blamed when considering politics. Due to heavily strained relations, the rivalry with the Kingdom of Clubs can be destructive. Clubs have negative stereotypes of Spades and vice versa. The Kingdom of Spades is the Kingdom with the most land under its control, which has caused wars and skirmishes. The Kingdom of Spades consists mostly of forestry and lakes. Due to a long history of war and border disputes with the Kingdom of Clubs, Spades and Clubs are often expected to strongly dislike each other. Spades cuisine consists mainly of meat and grain based dishes. The fish found in the lakes of the Kingdom of Spades don’t taste very good and are in low demand, so seafood and freshwater fish dishes are hard to come by. One thing the Kingdom of Spades is known for is its innovative food, such as the curious thing called cereal and portable pizza pouches. Due to this, in culinary standards, Spades are considered lazy. The Kingdom of Spades is considered the very first kingdom established according to some records, however nobody knows if Spades or Hearts came first, most concluding that the Spades came first because the Heart is just an upside down Spade without the handle, or that Hearts came first because the Spade is a flipped Heart with a handle. Due to their strong bond however, a popular ‘suit’ consisting of a heart inside of a spade is commonly seen in both Hearts and Spades shops, and the similar shapes are usually used as a joke instead of debate material. The very first king and queen of Spades established the Kingdom of Spades in hopes of developing a community that respected and remained loyal to each other. As the first Queen of Spades hailed from an abusive family, she and the king did their best to pioneer, at the time, the rather new idea of respecting females, the elderly, and staying in loyal relationships.
Heart
Represent love. The Kingdom of Hearts is mostly farmland and less technologically advanced, just behind the Kingdom of Clubs. Love and compassion are valued in the Kingdom of Hearts. A common stereotype of Hearts are that they’re peace-loving and consist mostly of uneducated farmers even though the literacy rate is second highest among the four Kingdoms. The Kingdom of Hearts has the least amount of land under its control compared to the other three Kingdoms. Most of its land consists of open plains and farmland. The Kingdom of Hearts is considered very vulnerable due to its small territory and open lands, giving them little place to hide, however very valuable as it gives them maximum usage of the land they control, undisputed by the likes of harsh mountains in Clubs, uncooperative sand in Diamonds, and thick, untouchable forests in Spades. Hearts cuisine is wide and varied, though considered simplistic. It consists mostly of beefs, rice, and vegetables, though they do have access to salmon and other freshwater fish. Hearts love seafood, so it’s a common dish. Another thing Hearts are known for are their sweets and desserts. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Hearts is considered the very first kingdom established according to some other records, however nobody knows if Spades or Hearts came first, most concluding that the Spades came first because the Heart is just an upside down Spade without the handle, or that Hearts came first because the Spade is a flipped Heart with a handle. Due to their strong bond however, a popular 'suit’ consisting of a heart inside of a spade is commonly seen in both Hearts and Spades shops, and the similar shapes are usually used as a joke instead of debate material. The very first king and queen founded the Kingdom of Hearts, already boasting a full family of five rowdy children. As they were often seen openly parenting, Hearts valued raising children to love and share compassion just as their king and queen did, aiming to build the community of openness and love. However, once they’d grown older, three of the king and queen’s children began fighting rather viciously for the inheritance of the throne. Unfortunately, the eldest son fell ill and died, the right decided to go to the second oldest.
Club
Represent luck. The Kingdom of Clubs is generally pristine and “normal”. Citizens and the Kingdom of Clubs in general are known for their energy and boldness, and once was a popular traveling destination for it’s beautiful mountains. Among the other three Kingdoms, Clubs are viewed as drunkards and pushy. The Kingdom of Clubs ha started many wars in the past, especially against the Kingdom of Spades, so it is no longer a popular destination among outsiders right now. Spades have a negative stereotype on Clubs and vice versa. The two Kingdoms have the strongest rivalry among all of the Kingdoms due to their strained relationship. The Kingdom of Clubs resides at the foot of massive mountains. Since this Kingdom is restricted in resources for being in the mountains, they have to rely on the other Kingdoms for resources, which some citizens complain about the dependency. Despite their location, the Kingdom has largely been able to avoid landslides and is surprisingly relatively storm free. The newest form of land the Kingdom of Clubs had claimed is a large chunk of forestry seized from the Spades during the Great War, easing up Club dependency on the other kingdoms, farms springing up almost overnight. Clubs cuisine is very heavily meat based much like Spades, though they’re known for their hot and spicy foods as well. Clubs also consume a lot of noodles and vegetables. The Kingdom of Clubs was founded by a young king who was unmarried for the most of his life, spending most of his time on flings with as many females as he could get to before finally settling with someone he liked. Prideful and energetic, the first king and queen focused on creating an energetic kingdom. Most Clubs at the time didn’t mind the manual labor as it was a value to be a hard worker. Once the king had grown too old to reign any longer, ironically enough, he wanted to appoint his position of power to a friend who hailed from Spades, however, feeling it wasn’t right, the Spade chose an adviser the queen trusted, donning the Club crown for only three days.
Diamond
Represent wealth. The Kingdom of Diamonds is the wealthiest of the four kingdoms, and the most sophisticated from the outside. Citizens of the Kingdom of Diamonds are generally above average in finances as the kingdom makes most of it’s profit off of the ocean it borders. Despite this, they could easily be considered the most charitable. However, the other three Kingdoms view Diamonds as rich, rude, and self-centered since the kingdom usually remains neutral in times of war. The Kingdom of Diamonds is considered the most desirable for the land it holds. The Kingdom of Diamonds is near the ocean, giving them access to beaches and seafood, although, a portion of the Kingdom of Diamonds is a minor desert and because of its location, the Diamonds often get minor monsoons. Due to their neutrality, Diamonds have been able to stay on relatively decent grounds with the three other kingdoms. Diamonds cuisine is considered the most fancy and flavorful. Due to their riches, Diamonds have access to seafood, spices an due to their neutrality, the Diamonds often trade with all three Kingdoms for other produce and goods. Originally ruled by a wealthy family, the first king and queen worked very hard to build a friendly kingdom, however due to their wealth, they were often viewed in a bad light from jealous lower class foreigners. Striving for a clean kingdom that would be a pioneer in science and intelligence for the good of all Suits, Diamonds are raised to value selflessness, charity, and modesty. Bearing no pups and having severed ties with families, as they were homophobic and unsupportive of a male queen, when the queen died, the king, stricken with grief, gave all of his money to his most trusted adviser and appointed him as the new king before resigning.
the suffering never ends
