shoutout to the homestuck fandom for having some genuinely unique ways of writing i’ve never seen before
(im talking about the fics detective pony and sburb glitch faq)
Listening to Twenty One Pilots
The beat: is rad
The song: is sad
the signs as cliche movie lines
Aries: *person is talking shit about someone when everyone falls silent* “they’re right behind me, aren’t they?”
Taurus: “if i don’t make it, tell [significant other] i love them”
Gemini: antagonist telling the protagonist “we’re not so different, you and i”
Cancer: “dad he’s not just some boy, i love him!”
Leo: *bad guys approach* “uh, guys. we’ve got company”
Virgo: “son you’re giving up your dream!” “no dad, i’m giving up yours”
Libra: “you look/sound/act just like your mother”
Scorpio: “i don’t even know who you are anymore!”
Sagittarius: *going into the final standoff* “this ends now”
Capricorn: *looking warily off into the distance* “there’s a storm coming”
Aquarius: “this isn’t what it looks like”
Pisces: *going into a sketchy situation* “guys, i’ve got a bad feeling about this”

- grumpy jerk and actual ray of sunshine are BFFs

- character A falls fast and hard for character B
- character A slowly falls in love with character B over the course of several years, realization hits them that they’ve been in love with B for a long time hits them like a truck
- cool badass is actually a giant fucking nerd
- The Power of Friendship ™
- flat “what” reactions
- sweet adorable characters with horrible tragic pasts
- villains-turned-heroes becoming the Weird Uncle

- characters that aren’t actually siblings having a sibling-like bond
