the whole being gay and liking the same gender thing is a lot to take in, person a has been straight most of their life but now it’s changing: because of person b’s welcoming smile. it really surprised them that: they actually like person b, who’s their friend since forever ago. it does make sense because the only thing person a was thinking about is how to make person b happy, all the time; or how they always smile at the thought of person b’s mere presence.

of course, with the new changes in their preference: person a tries to avoid person b, saying that they hate them; when really, they really like them. they thought if they push person b away, the guilt anchor would be raised but really it just sunk deeper into the deep, black ocean of emotions. not only did they hurt themself, they hurt person b, too: and person a wanted to change that, for the better.

person a keeps questioning to themselves: is it gay to admire a friend? like seriously, it’s just admiring a certain someone (person b) about how they smile, that’s all. it’s not like it’s a crush because person a is 100% straight, heterosexual, no ounce of gay in them. but why does it hurt when person b is laughing with someone else? it could be jealousy: for a friend of course! yeah, just jealous that someone else took person b’s attention away from them and that person b seems to be always in a good mood after they spoke to this ‘someone else.’ though, person a isn’t jealous in 'that’ way, right?

HELP WANTED!

Hello, one and all. I need your help!

I’m look for writing prompts for something I’m planning in the future. This can be anything whether it’s a line of dialog, an action or a scenario. Hell, even a random object or word. It can be for any genera, any time period, any country. It can be angst or fluff, romance or fighting, smutty goodness or nightmare enduring. I want anything and everything.

I’m primarily a fanfic writer and that’s mostly my hero academia with my main pair being Bakugou x fem!reader x Todoroki but I also write stuff for the Witcher tv series (Geralt x Jaskier) and most recently shadowhunters (Jace x Simon). So please hit me up with specific prompts for these or even throw me some curveballs.

Send it as an ask or message me or even leave it as a comment thread on the post. I’m looking for a challenge so don’t hesitate to throw me something outside of my comfort zone.

Thank you! in advance.

Prompt #42

“You left everything behind and for what ? You had such a good life, you had everything everyone would dream of !”

The tension rose in the air and person B looked back with an expression of distrust, distress, and pure anger. With gritted teeth they take a jagged breath before clenching their fists.

“Well maybe it wasn’t as perfect as you thought it was ! Maybe it was hell on earth for MEandI had to escape !”

The sudden change in tone throws person A off guard as they find themselves flinching to the new, and very much aggressive tone. Their face temporarily softening before hiding away behind a thin curtain of false courage, ready to die on the hill they didn’t even stand for.

Prompt #41

“What do you even see in me ?”

“I see someone that is trying their best to be a good person”

“I was never meant to be a good person, you know this as well as I do”

Prompt #40

“And even through it all, all the hardships, all the pain - you’re right back where you started”

“What ? — what the hell are you talking about ?!”

“Look around [name] ! No one is here, everyone is gone - they’re safe..but you’re not, just as it was before”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about”

“But I do, the sad little train wreck, love must not be affordable for you - you spend it all for others but no one gives you a cent. And now they just - poof - gone”

Prompt #28

“You blindly follow what you believe to be good, without looking at what they’re doing to innocent people - yet, I’m the bad guy”

“What are you even talking about [villain] ?”

“Your ‘team’ is fucking hurting people ! They’re doing harm to the people you so claim to want to protect and you call yourself a fucking hero — OPEN YOUR EYES !”

Prompt #20

“Why don’t you accept that you’re human too ?! We all make mistakes you don’t have to torture yourself over them !”

Hero raised his voice unintentionally, with Villian not being able to react as fast as he once did. Shaking his head as he forced himself to keep going.

“Because I’m a monster, like you - and everyone else said,”

Hero felt his heart break, was he what caused this sudden decline ?

“No you’re not - I should’ve been trying to help you..not fight you - I made it worse with all of this ! You’re not a monster ! You’re just misguided and I can help you if you just let me,”

“I don’t deserve help,, from anyone”

Prompt #12

“If you feel good doing good, why do you look so miserable ?”

“Miserable ? What do you mean ? I’m not-“

“Oh save your breath, I can sense the internalized insecurities and depression from here, been through some shit - want to protect others because no one protected [hero] when they needed it the most,”

“….”

“How was that ? Did I hit just in the right spot ? Did I get it correct ?”

“You smug fucking bastard —“

“You didn’t deny it”

Prompt #9

“Everything I touch feels light and weightless, and then the moment I can hold it to keep it, to get to know it - When I can somehow get close to it,, it’s gone. And then I’m alone with my thoughts all over again,”

Prompt#1

“You know they’ll only trust you for so long,”

“And ? They don’t know anything right now, it’s not like they’ll-”

“That’s not the point, [name], we can’t keep doing this forever, someone will find us and one of if not both of us will be hurt — or even forced to hurt the other”

“I know..but we can at least act like it’ll last forever, even if it won’t - I don’t want to leave you, I said I wouldn’t — so — so..I’m not,”

prompt #92

A: “Tell me you didn’t do it. Hell, tell me you did do it and tell me it was an accident. Tell me you never wanted anyone to get hurt.”

B: “I can’t lie to you, A.”

things to portray through a single look only (90th post special)

i mostly post dialogue prompts, so i thoght doing something completely without dialogue would be fun! also, as a tip, i’d say that being able to show some kind of emotion/feeling with only a glance in writing is such a fun idea and it’s always good to strengthen both your writing and the relarionship of the characters who are mentioned!

with that, i hope you enjoy and are able to use these as inspiration!

emotions to portray through a single look only:

• betrayal
• love
• complete hatred
• admiration
• confusion
• mistrust
• doubt
• trust
• disbelief
• pride (either in themselves or the other person)
• fear
• adoration
• shock

words to portray through a single look only:

• i’m sorry
• hello
• goodbye
• i forgive you
• how could you?
• thank you
• help me
• i didn’t mean that
• i miss you
• i want you
• don’t leave
• you hurt me
• i owe you

The most heartbreaking tropes in my opinion

Masterlist.Main navigation.

@bluebxlle_writer on instagram

Just a warning : the title is hella inaccurate because most of these aren’t even tropes - just super specific scenarios

1. When one person is fated to suffer, and their friends try everything in their power to prevent that from happening, but the person still gets their worse case scenario ending because fate is absolute. (Specific, I know. No I am not okay.)

2. RIGHT PERSON WRONG TIME!!!

3. Best friends into strangers into enemies

4. Someone dying with an unkept promise

5. Strangers to friends to lovers to strangers again (yes this is based on that one song, it’s in like every single Our Beloved Summer edit and it HURTS ok.)

6. C o r r u p t i o n a r c s . (bonus points if they got corrupted because of themself)

7. Being forced to let go the person they love most (platonically or romantically, both hurt.)

8. A villain going through a redemption arc, joining the good side, and finally becoming a better person and getting new friends, BUT they later sacrifice themself for the protagonist :“”“”“

9. Two characters in love promising each other to officially get together "once everything is over”, but they never did because one of them died

10. A cheerful and always beaming character slowly losing the light in their eyes as the people they love most leave them, one by one.

11. Taking someone for granted until it’s too late to thank them… hug them… or save them

12. Abusive parents. I don’t care how many times it’s repeated or overdone - it never fails to break my heart. *casually stabs Hinazuki Kayo’s mom*

13. Look idk it’s nearly 11 pm here I can’t think of anything else

14. Nvm I got more

15. A CHARACTER GETTING KILLED BY SOMEONE THEY LOVE whether it’s by accident or on purpose - both hurt.

16. Alternately, a character killing someone they love and having to live with the guilt.

17. FRIENDS WHO ARE WILLING TO DIE FOR EACH OTHER. At first glance it’s an “awwwwww” trope, but I assure you, there won’t be much awwwwww-ing when they actually die for their friend.

18. Look, any form of the “character A sacrifices themself for character B” trope hurts. A lot. Especially when A died with a smile on their face - to assure B that they’ll be okay, and because they love B so much that if they had a hundred chances to rewind and change their decision, they would always choose to sacrifice themself a hundred times, because they just love B that much (im not crying wdym)

19. Characters blaming themselves for a loved one’s death even if they weren’t directly involved in it

20. Ok uhh why are the last few points all deaths im sorry- im not sorry at all

A cruel hug

“Do you understand now? “

The villain hadn’t noticed how hard they were breathing until it was the only thing left to be heard. How desperate their voice sounded in their last plea of kinship. But

It does’t matter what happens afterwards. They just needed the hero to understand.They quickly tried to wipe away the tears running down their cheeks but it had been a futile gesture long ago.

They didn’t know when the hero had lowered their weapon but suddenly it hit the ground with a bang and the hero was closing the distance in a couple of struts.

Usually kind eyes, full of hope and determination, were now full of sorrow and compassion, holding theirs like a prisoner; seemingly taking in every little thing they possibly could. Their face. Their entire body. Their past, they just poured out all over the floor. Their entire future, yet to be determined. And most of all: Them. The villain. In every possible way. In their entirety.

They have never felt this naked. They have never felt this save. They didn’t believe anyone ever did.

A shaking hand was held next to their cheek. Slowly they cupped their face and even slower, a thumb wiped away the last tear.

“I am. So. Sorry. This happened to you.” How could a voice be so full of sorrow when it wasn’t their own to carry ?

“It should’ve never happened. To anyone. And certainly not when you were -. I am truly sorry. “

And then the hero came impossibly closer and wrapped their arms around them.

The villain could neither comprehend the grief, for their past self, that never got this confirmation of cruelty, flooding them ….nor the sudden, overwhelming relief of being understood. Of finally being seen. It was so much. So so much and much more than they had ever hoped for.

Sure they had been trying to get the hero see their side; to make them understand for so long …but it had gotten to be more of a routine.

The villain would start executing their plan; the hero would come in trying to stop them, when plan was juuuust about to work and thus they tried to quickly explain everything but the hero didn’t take it serious at all, thinking they’ve gone insane; shaking their head at them like you would at a silly little kid not getting why they can’t visit their mother anymore; and then? Then they would fight.

Sure they had always kept on trying to explain everything, but both could see how defeated it had been; as if every word had been said by a tired museum guide. They had given up on the hero understanding a thing about them. But now ? Now they finally understood.

With a barley noticeable jump, the villain wrapped themselve around the hero tightly, pulling them even closer into the hug. Their heads buried into each other’s neck, arms almost hurting from hugging the other so tightly.

Neither could let go. Neither could tell how long they stood there like this. Only that at some point the hero slowly loosened their gripped, the villain mirroring them. The hero stroked a couple times over their arms and looking up, the villain could finally see their like-wisely tear-streaked face. With a small smile the hero repeated: “I am sorry.”

This time when they went into a hug, they cupped the villains face with their right hand and the villain leaned into the touch without any hesitation. The other hand was now slowly rubbing circle onto their back and the world has truly shrunken down to the small square the villain and theirherooccupied.

“I need you to know something.”, the hero finally croaked out. A small smile grazed the villains face. Unwillingly. But not unwelcome. After all, the hero had always needed the last word.

“Of course.”, they breathed.

“I am not hugging you.”

The villain huffed at this ridiculousness and rolled their eyes playfully but not hiding the fondness for once. Not that the hero could see it.

“As if I’d be the one hugging you. Never.”

A small chuckle. The hug tightened for a second.

“You don’t understand. I’m not hugging you.” This time, the villain could hear the seriousness in their voice. The strain.

What.Brows began to furrow. Their entire body stopped.

“I am hugging the you, who had to go through it all. The you, who experienced all those atrocities. Those cruelties. But I’m not hugging you.”

Confused the villain tried to lean back again but before they even noticed, the hands that had just a moment ago stroked their face and rubbed circle into their back, were now binding theirs behind their back. The loud *click* echoed through the room. Through their mind.

They were handcuffed.

The hero’s head still laid in the crook of their neck. And with their hands holding the villains behind their back, it still felt like hug. A cruel one…but a hug nonetheless.

“Iam sorry for all the cruelties that were done to you”, the hero whispered into their ear.

How can a voice carry so much sorrow and compassion,

“But it doesn’t justify all the cruelties you’ve done upon others.”

while delivering such a cold message ?

And the villain realised the reason why they had looked so pained. It hadn’t been for compassion. Not entirely. But because the hero had finally understood them. Truly understood. And yet they couldn’t do anything about to.

Because by then, they had already made up their mind. About the villain. Their so called atrocities. About who deserves mercy. About it all.

Thus it hadn’t mattered. Not even in the slightest. It had just made it so much worse. For the both of them.

Understanding means truly seeing. And truly seeing means mercy.

At least that’s way the villain had always told themselves. But not to the hero. No. Mercy had always meant, that those who aren’t an immediate threat, could get a fair trial. That death, wouldn’t await them. For now at least. So no. Mercy had never meant what they thought it did.

No reluctant acceptance.

No truce.

No working together.

No.

The villain hadn’t realised, how far ahead they had already planned; how they had already mentally integrated the hero into their little family.

Into their future.

Into their life.

“I am sorry.”

,the hero breathed one last time. This time, the villain could finally hear what they truly said.

I am sorry this happened to you. I am sorry you had to go through this alone. I am sorry that you felt compelled to make these plans and even try and executed them. That they had to stop them every time. That they never truly tried to understand before. That now that they did, they couldn’t do anything about it. That it was all too late. That they were now the one to feel compelled to follow through with their plan. That they had to betray them. One. Last. Time.

“I am too.”

“I love you too”

There are a lot of stories where at the end of it the love interest’s last words to the protagonist are a love confession. But it’s always “I love you” or a variant of it. But what about:

“I love you too.”, their love breathed with one last broken smile, before their body lost all its tension and with it all life. The protagonist barley took notice of how they basically collapsed onto their love, how their fat tears ruined the others shirt. Not that it mattered. Not anymore. No.

The only thing they really took notice of, were the last words, screaming at them, begging for attention from seemingly ever last corner of their mind.

‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’

No. That wasn’t quite right though, now was it? No. There was this last, tiny, seemingly unnecessary word at the end.

‘Too.’

‘I. Love. You. Too.’

‘I love you. Too.’

‘I love you too.’

Yes; that’s what they had said. Meaning…. they had known. They had known, all this time and they never said anything, why didn’t they say anything, we could’ve been- weren’t we- maybe if we- NO- nonononono

Pictures of unlived moments that were never meant to be, flooded their mind; seconds of memories passed by long ago, burning their eyes. And that last sentence, screaming, begging. Too much. It was all to much. But it all ended in a single question:

Why didn’t they tell me ?

Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why

But they knew. They knew exactly why and now they cannot change it anymore. The only thing they had was the reassurance. Cause that’s what it was.

Yes. It has never been a confession.

But a confirmation. You are loved the way you love others.

An apology. I’m sorry that we lost so much time.

And a promise. We will meet again and this time I will love you right.

All.

In.

One.

Borrowed safety

Laying there, pulling the god just a little closer to their chest, they wondered: What is worse?

Finally having someone who doesn’t only tolerates you, genuinely likes you even but knowing the gods heart will still always belong to someone else ? Knowing that once more you’re not enough ?

Or knowing that even a god can’t help you forget your own heart? Will never be able to compare to them ? That if even a god can’t make you fall in love with someone new, you won’t ever move on from your own love?

Or perhaps what’s worse about this all is the realisation of a fact? A fact you never wanted to know, even in your most curious moments:

It doesn’t matter who or what you are,

No one is safe from love.

Only the rare will find safety in it.

I dare you to write your favourite oddly specific whump tropes

These are mine:

• Hidden injury
• A stubborn whumpee and a caretaker who’s angry at them for constantly risking their life
• Exhausted due to excessive use of magic (and fainting afterward)
• Trying to get up, then being immediately hit by dizziness and collapsing
• Limping or staggering (this ain’t even a trope but I’m obsessed with how whumpees are depicted as so vulnerable when they can barely keep themselves upright)

Tag a friend or five so they can add theirs!

Some accounts I absolutely adore and would love to hear from (hope you don’t mind):
