Salem Grey - A Mood Board

okay yes kaz doesn't care about anything blah blah blah but have you ever considered that he remembers absolutely everything and not only the stuff he can one day use against the people in his life. he remembers how jesper puts cinnamon into his coffee so it doesn't keep him awake all day so kaz keeps cinnamon sticks behind the bar at the crow club for him. he remembers how wylan tucks flowers into his messenger bag so he waits beside a flower patch when they meet to discuss demo plans. he remembers how nina hates how her only pair of boots dig into her heels so he leaves a new pair on her bed without a word. he remembers how matthias is soothed at the sound of bird chirping so he tells him to walk down by the east harbor for "no other reason" than to "pick up a shipment" and NOT because seagulls and ospreys cluster there. and yes. his wife. inej. he remembers how pious and devote she is so he carves symbols of the saints into the wood of her ship with his knife to remind her he adores her faith despite all that he's said before and he would remember even in death how her raven hair flows down her back and how her nimble fingers stroke around her whiskey glass because he loves her GODDAMNIT.

I love being a writer because it forces me to understand and build the mind of someone who grew up, thinks, and acts so much differently from me

one time i stopped writing in the middle of noting down a wip idea i had and i havent been the same since. it literally stops mid-sentence at "and". AND WHAT ????

Trying to write fanfiction for the first time is so humbling, it feels like I've never written anything ever.

yeah i love writing. me banging my head into a wall trying not to hate everything i write is just part of the process dude. no i don't think i should seek help what are you talking about haha.

Can everyone spawn my finished wip into their heads so i don't have to write it please and thank you.

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????

Book tropes & dynamics i love (in no order)

---------------------------------------------

author who writes for fun x reader who's dying for something new

enemies, but lovers

*explains everything simply but in detail* x "..huh ?"

mute/rarely talks x never shuts up

takes care if siblings a lot x doesnt know how to handle kids

enemy goes to mc for help bc they didnt know what else to do

insanely fucked up woman that no one actually suspects x "what the fuck did you do to him ?!" only one who knows about it guy

academic rivals

found family ofc

*literally has a knife to their throat* "wait, youre kinda cute"
