I'm 20. I take Latin, Spanish and Italian. (Technically I took Latin. Don't let me get into it). I'm an English nerd, I'm a language nerd and I hope to be at the very least bilingual one day. I love shows including Friends, How I...

ever since they established that cloning removes all scars/marks given during that body's "lifetime" I can't get the idea of Sara and Ava (especially Ava!) getting little tattoos - both as a symbol of their relationship and as this secret, small proof that they are who they are and always will be. Even better if they're the only two people who know about them, as kind of a fail safe I guess, and reassurance that they're really there and really... real?

aw i think this super adorable!

i actually just saw @lgbtqlegends post a headcanon post about tattoos for avalance here, you should definitely check it out!!!

my cowriter @yeehawsara just came up with a headcanon related to this that it would be super adorable if Sara and Ava got tattoos of Twin Dao Swords:

Like, Ava has one little sword tattoo on her and Sara has the other one tattooed onto herself.

The reason they chose the Twin Dao Swords is because they are a set. Each sword has has one flat side on their handle, so they can be held together and they are both placed into the same sheath.

So to Sara and Ava, it symbolizes how they're both formidable fighters and able to hold their own as individual women, but also they're complementary to one another, so they're stronger together <3333

Here are my top writing suggestions or advice that I’ve learned over the years and from the few creative writing classes that I took in college.

  • Take everything someone says to you about writing with a grain of salt. What works for them, might not work for you.
  • Don’t delete anything! Who knows maybe one day you’ll read it again d be inspired again either continue it or write something new.
  • Which brings us to the next point, write everything down! All those little ideas that run around in your head write them down. If they’re still running around in your head a week from when you first got them, then you know that those ideas are worth pursuing.
  • Have a folder and label it ‘Little Darlings.’ For every paragraph or every line that doesn’t quite fit, but you like, instead of deleting it put it in this folder. You can put it in the folder and forget about it, or you can go back to it occasionally. Sometimes it’s nice to have a document full of all of those little lines that were absolutely perfect, but just not for the story you wanted to tell.
  • Don’t feel guilty for any of your unfinished work.
  • Writing is a stylistic choice. Which means that you don’t have to follow the rules of proper grammar or formatting.
  • However, you want to make sure that someone can actually read what you write. When formatting your story you should use the phrase  TIP TOP (Time, Place, Topic, Person). When time passes, they moved to a new location, a new topic comes up, or a new person speaks, hit the enter key, and create a new paragraph.
  • Writing is all about emotions, feelings, and thoughts. Don’t be afraid to go on and on about how what a character is feeling, that’s what helps your readers connect with the characters.
  • You don’t have to write every day, every week, or even every month, we all have busy schedules and a life outside of our writing. It’s important to take a break from your writing, but don’t let it stop you from writing altogether. A lot of people will tell you that you should write a least a 100 words a day for an hour or so, but I don’t think that a consistent schedule is constraining so just find that little bit of time that works in your schedule.
  • Take a break in between writing, editing, and posting. Let your work marinate, who knows maybe you’ll add something or change something for the better.
  • When you get stuck in the middle of wright a scene, but you have an idea for the next scene use brackets and say [Come back to this later] and then, continue with your writing. You can always go back and add more to the fill in the blanks or bridge the scenes.
  • Also, use these brackets in place of when you have to do research for something like. For instance, if you need to know which bone in the body is in the hand or what kind of sword of mid-century pirate would use just add a bracket titled [Research] keep going. Then come back when your done and add your research
  • Don’t let your research time overtake your writing time. It’s important to be semi-accurate about certain things like what size of shoes a two-year-old would wear. Last week I had to Google this because the kids I work with are 6 and up, but I don’t need to know what specific brand is the best for toddlers’ feet. All I needed was shoe size, style, and color. Be specific when necessary otherwise be general about things.
  • Also when you’re researching, it’s always best to get first-hand reports. Watch YouTube videos and read interviews or ask someone who has experience or works in the field that you’re researching.
  • If you’re staring at a blank page close the page and walk away. Do something that always gets your creativity going, be it a walk, a shower, or a nap, and then come back to it.
  • Never compare the number of words that you can write in one day to the number of words someone else can.
  • If you need to force, but keep getting distracted lock yourself out of your technology or set a timer. I used the Cold Turkey writing app, which locks your computer and leaves you with just an open word document. I like to set the number of words to something easy that’s just enough to get the flow going.
  • And last, but most importantly is that sometimes writing is fun, sometimes it’s a chore, but the moment it starts to be something that you absolutely dread doing. STOP. 

Unless it’s your job for your homework, and you have to do it. Creative writing is something that you do for yourself, it should never be something that you hate. I do it because I love putting pen to paper writing a story that I want to read, and then sharing it with other people.

I used to work this retail job it was your typical 9 to 5 cashiers, interacting with the public and so many Karen’s all day. I was still in college and still working on my degree and it felt like my life wasn’t going anywhere. I started writing and posting my work because it gave me a sense of accomplishment. It felt like I was working on something that had a clear finish line. It also helped me express my emotions and deal with the things that we’re going on in my life. And on the days when it was too much when all I wanted to do was lay on the couch and watch tv, that’s what I did, because writing was the hobby that I loved but it wasn’t my job to do.

Anyway, I hope this helps anyone who needs it. If anyone ever needs writing advice, editing advice, a beta reader, or someone to help them do research, I still have access to a college level research library, (shh, don’t tell my former uni. my passcode still works) and I’m always happy to do research.

“I hate new country music because the genre has shifted from being retelling of folk tales and tales of the underprivileged working class of the American south and has now boiled down to bragging about your truck.”: absolutely

todavía un poco decepcionada que nadie ha hecho un video para la canción “con la miel en los labios” con todo lo que pasó con su ruptura?? lo editaría yo misma pero no saldría muy bien y ellas merecen mejor 

still a little salty that nobody has made a video to the song “con la miel en los labios” by aitana for their break up? like, I would do it myself but they deserve way better 

like... look at these lyrics (I conveniently highlighted the most important parts  because this song is perfect for their breakup fight me on it) 

Disfrutamos de cada pecado Nos reímos y lloramos Y nos vieron despeinarnos por ahí

Nos comimos a bocados Nos dormimos en los brazos De domingos de resaca por Madrid

Y perdimos la vergüenza y las llaves Desmontamos cada calle del revés

Me pusiste la luna en las manos Te gané sin temblar de un asalto Nos rompimos el alma en pedazos Me reclaman los años si no estás aquí

Y me niego a borrar los mensajes Prender fuego a la casa no sirve El amor cambia, nunca se extingue Cualquier día la lluvia nos vuelve a sentir

Sentir con la miel en los labios

Fue en el taxi del beso robado Donde al fin pude huir del pasado No digas nada, tan solo recuerdame así

Escondimos las heridas, ya lo sabes No encotramos las respuestas ni el por qué

Me pusiste la luna en las manos Te gané sin temblar de un asalto Nos rompimos el alma en pedazos Me reclaman los años si no estás aquí

Y me niego a borrar los mensajes Prender fuego a la casa no sirve El amor cambia, nunca se extingue Cualquier día la lluvia nos vuelve a sentir

A sentir Con la miel en los labios Con la miel en los labios Y en el fondo yo sé que esto no se acaba aquí Cualquier día la lluvia nos vuelve a sentir

Sentir con la miel en los labios

honestly, I could argue literally every single one of these lyrics. again, fight me on it. 

#lmao you can tell which is my first language and which im trying to type well#but seriously#es perfecta para ellas y su ruptura#like it totally fits their breakup#It's painful to listen to#luimelia#amar es para siempre#luisita x amelia#luisita y amelia

By this moment, my mind and my soul already left my body. 😍😇😂 Gosh, I missed all those cute little gestures they do. Luisi's speech is perfect. I can't believe they just did this. That this scene will be shown on an afternoon timeslot in Spain. Now this is visibility. Waiting for 8 months was all worth it! Thank you so much for this!

#good god#I was like#this is racy#like this is an afternoon telenovela what the hell#Im grateful for it I adore these two#but good god
