send me a pairing and a number and i'll write you a drabble

  1. “Come over here and make me.”
  2. “Have you lost your damn mind!?”
  3. “Please, don’t leave.”
  4. “Do you…well…I mean…I could give you a massage?”
  5. “Wait a minute. Are you jealous?”
  6. “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”
  7. “I almost lost you.”
  8. “Wanna bet?”
  9. “Don’t you ever do that again!”
  10. “Teach me how to play?”
  11. “Don’t you dare throw that snowba-, goddammit!”
  12. “I think we need to talk.”
  13. “Kiss me.”
  14. “Hey, I’m with you, okay? Always.”
  15. “So, I found this waterfall…”
  16. “It could be worse.”
  17. “Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while…”
  18. “This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had. Of course I’m in.”
  19. “The paint’s supposed to go where?”
  20. “You need to wake up because I can’t do this without you.”
  21. “We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?”
  22. “I’ve seen the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.”
  23. “Just once.”
  24. “You’re the only one I trust to do this.”
  25. “I can’t believe you talked me into this.”
  26. “I got you a present.”
  27. “I’m pregnant.”
  28. “Marry me?”
  29. “I thought you were dead.”
  30. “It’s not what it looks like…”
  31. “You lied to me.”
  32. “I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”
  33. “Please don’t do this.”
  34. “If you keep looking at me like that we won’t make it to a bed.”
  35. “You heard me. Take. It. Off.”
  36. “I wish I could hate you.”
  37. “Wanna dance?”
  38. “You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”
  39. “Hey! I was gonna eat that!”
  40. “Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?”
  41. “You did all of this for me?”
  42. “I swear it was an accident.”
  43. “YOU DID WHAT?!”
  44. “If you die, I’m gonna kill you.”
  45. “Tell me a secret.”
  46. “Hey, have you seen the..? Oh.”
  47. “No one needs to know.”
  48. “Boo.”
  49. “Well this is awkward…”
  50. Writer’s preference

Grrrrr. I’m trying to work through something, and could use some fic writing for stress relief... but I have no ideas! So I’ll toss this out there. Any pairing I’ve written before, tho if you ask for an old one I take no responsibility for my shitty memory getting character/world deets wrong. Also note, I’m old school enough that drabble = exactly 100 words, so that’s what you’re gonna get. Unless some idea really takes off in my head and I write another 300,000-word epic series oh god no I’ve jinxed myself haven’t I. (frantically knocks on wood) I’ll even temporarily open up anon asks for the next 24 hours or so.

awwww

Got food delivery. The delivery guy hands me the food and says, "Merry Christmas!" (It's the night before Thanksgiving.) I don't say anything, smile and nod, close the door, no biggie. A second later I hear the guy in the hallway curse and go "Why did I say that?" and stomp off.

I feel you, Awkward Delivery Guy. I really do.

I was today years old. That is disgusting.

No Child Left Behind is one of the worst things to ever be incentivized in schools. It was signed into law when I was 14. Reading Rainbow was my show as a kid. LeVar Burton played a big part in why I became an avid reader to date. The joy of it. It's an adventure around the globe and through different time periods without stepping on a plane or time machine.

Children parrot behavior. In grade school, I always wanted to read the same amount of books as my teachers (50 books) and managed to double that each year. Before No Child Left Behind, book fairs and Scholastic catalogs were a serious matter like your grandma's Fingerhut catalogs. Libraries were (and still are) a wonderland.

Reading comprehension and proficiency in schools has been declining for decades. A crisis. The joy of books isn't pushed anymore and I'm always saddened by it. It's one of the reasons why I post my book reviews and recommendations on here, as well as posts from others to encourage reading and (novel) writing. Kids will parrot your behavior while the education system sadly fails to return as that example.

It's very possible that the only way to ensure you don't become a conservative old person is to keep checking whether you're wrong. Every time. Genuinely mull over the opposing viewpoint even and especially when it's uncomfortable. You absolutely cannot a) consider yourself safely incapable of terrible principles because you're a good person, or b) treat a your disgust reaction to something as a moral truth. You can't get comfortable. Tiring! But you'd rather be tired and choose the right path, you know?

NOTE TO SELF-SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

Slow the fuck down is also the way to avoid scams, social engineering, phishing, etc.

“Oh, no the CEO of my employer is having an emergency and I need to click this link right now!!!”

Slow down…

“Why would the CEO be emailing ME of all people? Maybe this email is a phishing attack that would get my employer hacked and me fired for allowing it.” (It probably is a phishing email.)

In general, “Slow the fuck down” is an extremely powerful information literacy skill.

US people with disabilities in the supplemental security income (SSI) program can't have a penny over $2K in their bank account at any time in order to keep their benefits.

You know this economy. That amount is completely unlivable & makes it hard for people with disability to save for the future or have a safety net for emergencies.

A new bill would raise the max to $10K (or $20K for married couples). It would make a world of difference.

The SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act is in the Senate RIGHT NOW. Contact your elected officials and tell them they must support it!

Millions of Years of Immutable Evolutionary Law: “Cats shall have litters of many offspring at one time. Some will be weak or stricken with disease--they will perish to allow the stronger siblings to escape, and to satiate other predators in order to reduce competition and encourage the existence of more capable adults.”

A reimagining of a piece with the same name I did in 2017. I spent a lot of time with this painting! This artwork was part of my solo exhibition ‘Ripple’ at Gallery Nucleus back in August of 2023💕✨
