“Having no soul. I never had one really. It was always fobbed off on me. Soul was the only thing there was between you and me. Thank goodness it’s gone. Haven’t you lost yours? The one that seemed to worry you, like a decayed tooth?”

– When I was a kid we used to scare each other with stories about a woman in white killing little children. – Yeah, I, too. Town folklore. – Well, I don’t know. Maybe someone doesn’t believe it’s folklore. Maybe they want to make it real.

tips on to convey being immortal because I think I might have my arts and humanities and world civilizations classes convinced: 

  • mention small details that are totally plausible for the day, age, and event that happened
  • talk about significant people in the event as if you would a close friend or family member
  • say things like “I wonder what they would say now” 
  • nod along in lectures as if you’re confirming the events that happened. 
  • take really vague notes that involve a lot of shorthanded things that seem more like a daily journal than a notes page
  • whispering “I guess I missed that” or “I don’t remember that”
  • sometimes smile when someone asks a question that pertains to the event, it suggests a good memory

feel free to add more. I just used to do these a lot as a joke, but now I cant break the habit. I swear I’m trying to get used to this modern age stuff.

Hypothetical dark academia novel in which instead of the crazed obsession being death, it is birth. Imagine a group of teenage girls drunk on the power they have to create life. They consider themselves gods. They drink wine, have bacchanals, and eat fruit in mossy caves on Sunday mornings. They gather every day before school to review the latest scientific discoveries over orange-peel tea. They write plays and raise their voices in excitement over new plot devices and marvel at the endless possibilities they have. The girls are avid feminists; they write essays and speeches about femininity and gender roles. They romanticize Renaissance women. They show up to school in all black, dress shirts rolled up to the elbow, hair in elaborate braids. Imagine the romances, the scheming, the poetry, the art, the speeches, the projects, the philosophical ramblings, the wide-eyed wonder and subsequent ambition.

Tea bags that unfurl like flowers in chipped china cups as they scoff over Hemingway and play with sugar cubes. They climb to the highest branches of cypress trees to listen to the cicadas and look over hillsides at the world women have created, giddy with the idea that human life is held in their hands. They grow their hair out to reach their knees or shave it short to the scalp, so it can never again be pulled by a man who thinks he owns their body. The girls scratch out the pronoun ‘He’, referring to God in books and vow to teach their daughters about Gaia and Hestia, and Athena and Diana. They learn languages to debate and rouse in every tongue they can find books on. 

They talk late into the night about whatever seems important and it makes their blood rattle in their veins when they realise that they’re young, that the whole world is stretched out before them, vast and glorious.
