To truly love another person is to accept the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them.

THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (2020)

"i would die for you" this, "i'd walk through fire for you that"

what about "i'd live for you" romances? what about "i never thought i'd be worth the work it would take to piece myself together"?

what about "i don't believe i'm worth it, but for you i'll try"

thinking about the casual intimacy of showing someone you love an unfinished work of art, the underlying message saying, i trust you with my unpolished heart

prompts for characters going to sleep together

warning for some nsfw prompts

curling up to next to your lover in bed, giving them a kiss on the cheek

bringing your lover home from a date, and being asked to spend the night

you've been in a fight, your lover has already gone to bed, without resolving it, but you still whisper ''i love you'' before crawling into bed, because it's something you always do before going to sleep, and this fight doesn't chance anything bonus: your lover isn't actually asleep, and pulls you into their arms

you live in an apartment with your best friend. the two of you always fall asleep in each other's arms, but one day, your friend isn't there. they've fallen in love with someone else. it's your other best friend, who recently moved in with you. and that's when you realize, that those nights you spent together, weren't so platonic after all

waking up at 2am, having lazy, gentle sex before falling asleep in each other's arms

your lover doesn't have anything to sleep in, so you lend them one of your shirts, which is totally too big for them, and it's adorable

your lover doesn't have anything to sleep in, you assure them they'll sleep better without anything on

''if you sleep on the couch, then so will i''

you haven't been able to sleep properly in months, until you meet this one person, and before you know it, you're sound asleep. it's the best sleep you've ever had

you find your lover asleep on the couch, kissing their forehead before you carry them to bed and tuck them in

sharing a bed, but, mutually pining, neither of them getting an inch of sleep, both just staring at the ceiling because they're close enough to touch but they can't

two characters cramming onto a couch together because they let their friend have the bed and they don't want to sleep apart from each other

a steady hand resting on your lover's boob

falling asleep while stargazing

you kiss your lover good night, but as they pull you on top of them, you trace kisses all over their body

the big spoon is reluctant to be the little one, but the little one convinces them to try it for one night

sleeping in a bed that's so small, your bodies are touching at all times, making it even harder to keep your hands off of each other and fighting attraction

you're in bed, ready to go to sleep, but is interrupted when your lover flies out of bed, suggesting that you make some pancakes together, and you glare at your lover like, it's fucking two A.M in the morning ?

sharing a bed, moving closer and closer to your slow burn ''lover,'' finally giving into what you've been denying for so long, and instead of sleeping, you spend hours exploring each other's bodies

snow is raging outside, you and your lover spoon each other to stay warm

building a wall of pillows to prevent you from spooning each other (because spooning will lead to sex and it can't happen. again) (spoiler: it does happen again)

your lover's out of time and this is the first time you have to fall asleep without them

falling asleep while watching a movie together

it's 2am. your lover is still playing video games in the living room, so you grab your pillow, settling yourself in between your lover's thighs as you watch them play, and soon enough, you're asleep again

i know we have to be up early tomorrow but i can't stop kissing you

you and your enemy has to share a bed, and you find a bunch of knives hidden under the mattress. you pick one up, glaring at your lover like ''are you actually trying to kill me?'' but it's really just your enemy's way of making sure they're prepared in case they're ever to be attacked

crying yourself to sleep, your lover holding you close, trying to comfort you

sharing a bed with your ''lover'' and being told to “stay on your side of the bed“ only to wake up the next day, with your ''lover's'' arms wrapped around you

comforting your lover, who's just had a nightmare, assuring them they're okay, you're right here with them

falling asleep with your head on your lover's chest, listening to their heartbeat

there's two beds but somehow we still end up in the same one

there's two beds, and we're in love with each other, but not dating, and since none of us are ready to admit our feelings, we'll just pretend like nothing's wrong and awkwardly get into our separate beds even though the both of us want nothing more than to cuddle each other

whispering ''i love you'' to your ''lover'' while they're asleep because you're not sure if they feel the same way but you really needed to tell them that

alternatively, kissing your ''lover'' on the forehead while they're asleep because you're not sure if they feel the same way and they look peaceful while sleeping

your best friend just picked you up from your partner's house, because you just got dumped. you don't want to be alone, so you ask your best friend if you can stay the night, telling them you'll take the couch. your best friend convinces you to sleep in their bed, and as you snuggle closer to them, desperate for some comfort, they're surprised at first, but then pulls you into their arms

soft things fictional couples do when going to sleep + writing prompts

‘‘Would you think that you have penis envy?’’ ‘‘I don’t really understand what that means, I’m sorry’’

Sujaya Dasgupta in Ghosts season 3 episode 1 (2021) dir. Nick Collett

idk about soulmates but those people who eat parts of the food or candy that you don't like and you do the same for them.....we've lived a hundred lifetimes together probably

old texts that make me feel some type of way

“Strange how tightly one’s body could be held, how close to somebody else’s heart, and yet one wasn’t anywhere near the holder. They locked you up in prisons that way, holding your body tight and thinking they had got you, and all the while your mind–you–was as free as the wind and the sunlight.”

— Vera by Elizabeth von Arnim

sometimes, when a lesson is learned, the vehicle used to teach said lesson has no place left in our lives. for not only is it a vibrational tie to the past, but a barrier to seeing the future. often the last hurdle we must face is breaking our attachment to what we thought held us up, so we can realise it was in us all along.

Aki: I can’t believe you talked me into this.

Max: Well, then you’re gonna be really surprised at what I’m gonna ask you to do next. Do I have your consent?

Aki: My consent for what?

Max: For whatever.

I'M NOT SORRY THERE'S NOTHING TO SAVE.

“For all its familiar tropes, the romcom proves infinitely malleable.“

Paris, Texas (1984), dir. Wim Wenders

“Finally, in a low whisper, he said, ‘I think I might be a terrible person.’ For a split second I believed him — I thought he was about to confess a crime, maybe a murder. Then I realized that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.”

— Miranda July, The First Bad Man

“after all the terrible things I do how amazing it is to find forgiveness and love not even forgiveness since what is done is done and forgiveness isn’t love and love is love nothing can ever go wrong”

— Frank O’Hara, from “Poem [light clarity avocado salad in the morning]”

“How good it is to love live things, even when what they’ve done is terrible” — Ada Limón, from “The Long Ride”
