"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

yeah yeah yeah mortifying ordeal of being known and all that but sometimes a friend mentions something about you that you didn’t think was noticeable and it feels like your heart is being cradled in their hands

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

Another tip for writer's block is to examine what you've been reading. When I was reading Greek retellings and the Alexander the Great trilogy last summer, my Greek-esque fantasy romance was flowing like wine.

I've read nothing but textbooks and nonfiction for the past three months and that imaginative well has dried up. Throw your brain some cookies. Reading in the right genre can be a kind of compass for when you've lost the thread

There's no context to the images, but they're only from Prologue through Chapter 3.5, so there shouldn't be any spoilers
