Where Did The Time Go - Tumblr Posts
There are so many trends I kinda wanna look into now, that I just didn’t get into while they were popular-
Like, what the heck was squid game even about???
Here's a reminder to myself that the WIPs I have sitting in a folder have until August 31 to dust off the sand, fold the umbrella, and arise fully finished in time for the leaves to start changing colors. Oh, wait, did somebody say gin and tonics by the pool?
WICKED'S SUMMER FESTIVAL
A writing event based on summer as its main theme!
Hello! I’m hosting a little writing event to bring some inspiration to those who may want to write something new!
Here's a little FAQ if you aren't familiar with writing events (or at least mine!):
What’s it about?
For a lot of people, summer is almost there! Try to write something with what can be considered a "summer topic." EX.: the beach, a vacation, sundresses, swimsuits, a date in warm and sunny weather and so on.
Are AUs allowed?
Yes! Though of course they aren’t mandatory. Mob AU, Modern AU, Royal AU… whatever fits best the narrative you’re looking to do! Here are a couple I’m able to think of right now:
Coffee shop AU
Flower/tattoo shop AU
College AU
Historical AU
Fairy tale AU
Roommates AU
Dystopian AU
Modern AU
Some more questions you may have…
“Event time?”
From June 1st to August 31st! It’s summer where I live during that time and it made me want to organise a fun challenge for fic writers all around to participate in.
“Can I write about any fandom?”
Of course! I am tagging some fandoms though it is obviously not limited to only these!
“One shot or multiple parts?”
That is up to you and where your imagination takes you! I think the event time is long enough to do multiple parts should you want, but a one shot is already wonderful! You can even do multiple one shots if a couple of subjects interest you!
“SFW or NSFW?”
Both can be done! though not mandatory. You can write the fluffiest fluff, the smuttiest smut, or both at once! Even angst if you feel inspired!
Here’s a list of tropes, situations and even quotes that may inspire you along with the summer theme!
Tropes:
Friends to lovers
Enemies to lovers
mutual pining
rivals
Arranged marriage
crossover
fake relationship
Hanahaki disease
Sex pollen
Fake dating
Situations:
“there is only one bed and neither wants to let the other sleep on the ground”
“now is clearly not the right time to express their feelings but they both feel like they’ll never do it otherwise”
“saw the other in a swimsuit/specific outfit they never wore before and they are currently slowly losing it”
“person A invited B to a festival, fair, crowded event and using it as an excuse to hold their hands as to not lose them in the crowd”
“person B asks to go swimsuit shopping to A and A is feeling blood rush somewhere from person B modeling swimsuits to them”
“There’s a firework show going on but person A is looking a person B instead”
Quotes:
“Gimme a sec I’m not drunk enough to listen to this”
“Take another step, and I can’t be held responsible for my actions”
“After all this do you really think I don’t love you?”
“Look at how far I would go in fear of losing you”
“I thought I lost you”
“Let me show you how much I love you”
“I wasn’t sure which flowers you liked so I got one of everything they had”
“Is there a special reason as to why you’re wearing my shirt?”
“I have a name, and it’s not sweetheart”
“I’ll do it. If you do something for me.”
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep”
“I can’t help it, you’re fun to mess with.”
“If I could, I’d kiss away all your scars”
“prove it.”
“Do I look like I’m messing around? Do I look like I won’t punish you?”
“Show me how much you missed me.”
“What makes you think I’m going to fuck you?”
“Shall we put that mouth to better use?” I hope this brings you some inspiration! you can use #Wicked's summer festival 2023 and I shall reblog (or at least try to) your fics here!

Soon enough you’ll be thirty and wondering how the hell you got from here to there. You’ll look back at old pictures and swear that was just yesterday and then realize that yesterday was ten years ago.
And your heart will both rise and fall at the thought of those Friday night parties you used to get too drunk at, the times you screamed High School Musical songs at the top of your lungs while riding shotgun in your friend’s car with the windows down on the highway.
You’ll think of the time you and Jordan danced alone in her bedroom to some throw-back R&B or the time you and Hailey and Abi laughed until you cried while sitting “cross-cross applesauce” on her white carpets at four in the morning.
You’ll think of all the boys you carelessly kissed and all the late nights spent sitting by a fire playing Never Have I Ever and Truth or Dare.
And then reality will drag you back and demand you pay the bills, do the laundry, wash the dog. Pick up the kids from school, cook dinner, and somehow find enough time to hold your husband before you fall into bed.
And though you love this busy life and beautiful family you’ve built for yourself, there will always be a piece of you that misses being nineteen and young with no responsibilities and the entire world at your fingertips.

happy #3YEARSWITHNCTU! we’re so proud of you all, and we love you ♡
I don't know if I'm about to cry or freak out like a little kid about to get their top gift on Christmas. I'm so excited but scared cause I finally get to see the characters I grew up with since I was 6, come to life.
ITS BEEN 12 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST BOOK WAS RELEASED!
not exactly but still, that's a long fricking time broski.
I'm in a state of pure excitement added with the dread of realizing that I'm about to not be a child. It's not going to stop me from watching the show like it's my lifeline.
Yeah I won't be this stable when the Percy Jackson episode is released. Naw my eyes will be red from all my crying.
The world is moving so fast, I wish I could just sleep for a while.
Preferably in his arms. Safe and protected. Just taking a break from the world for a few days.
My body feels so heavy and my mind is drowning in thoughts. I just want some peace, even for just a few minutes.
