nine-for-a-kiss:

I found the most unsettling poem I must have written as a very young teenager. It sounds like some kind of invocation.

Half past twelve is underwater
east and west and north and south
one goes over and one goes under
one is a hungry mouth.

 She is the world and she is the window
the starlight and the bramble wreath
one is a carp and one is a minnow
one is nothing but teeth.

The wind is soft and the water’s shallow
and what has been will never be;
hands of stone or hands of tallow,
we will find them. One-two-three.

When your character tells you a thing and you, the author, are like, “No, you’re shitting me,” and the character’s all, “I absolutely am not,” and you realize that every single seed needed to grow that thing WAS ALREADY PLANTED IN THE STORY.

I’d like to lie and say I’m being deliberately clever when people notice things in my writing but honestly I’m just as much along for the ride as everyone else.

animentality:

-make sure the person you’re about to DESTROY doesn’t have a friend present. people with backup are a lot harder to argue with than people who’re alone because they’re ballsier shits when they have strength in numbers 

-make eye contact. it is intimidating and most people can’t hold it for longer than eight seconds. assert your dominance

-walk with your head held high and with a purposeful stride. people are even more intimidated by someone who looks like they know what they’re about 

-if you’ve got a tag team situation going on, make sure their friend knows that you aren’t about their nonsense either. 

-worse comes to worse, shut down the conversation. say, “now hold on a moment, let me speak….” and then turn away and leave. trust me, they’ll be so fucking tilted they’ll take a few seconds to react. 

-check your phone every so often and make it as disdainful as possible, because they’re not your main concern and are in fact, merely trifles. 

-don’t resort to name-calling, but definitely imply what you think of them if reason isn’t working. might as well get your kicks in, get their brains rolling. it’s a learning  experience for them, ok, no one’s perfect and they might as well know that someone else has a problem with their shit wonderbread personality
