( jessica alexander , twenty , cis woman , she / her ) hey , is that EMMA VANITY wandering the halls without a companion ? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold . and here i thought the SLYTHERIN was always more perceptive , self-reliant & confident . but then they are also known to be impatient , competitive & avaricious , so maybe that makes sense . these hard times are enough to change anybody , i suppose . and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE KNIGHTS ? rumors fly when people are cooped up . here , i’ll show you — EMMA always reminded me of tequila shots served with a slice of limelight ; wiping blood and lip gloss from your mouth ; dark ice across a frozen forest lake concealing freezing depths beneath ; expensive perfume mingling with the scent of phosphorus ; the first drop of blood in the water before the feeding frenzy begins ; wearing back-breaking heels just to hear them click against stone as you walk ; perfectly manicured nails pulling at loose threads until all that’s left is a tangle of frayed strands . and i’ve heard SHE FED THE CAT OF THE LAST PERSON WHO HIT HER WITH A BLUDGER TO THE GIANT SQUID . let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast . or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do .

Keep reading

List of “you say you wanna be friends but it’s starting to feel like you wanna be more than that” prompts

“Tell me why you say you wanna be friends but then go and pull shit that makes me feel like you want to be more than friends?”
“Do you… Like like me?” “No, I don’t. That’s defamatory.”
“I don’t know why but all I can think about is kissing you. I’m… Not the only one, right?”
“Friends don’t fucking do this.”
“Do you actually want to be friends or do we need to talk about this and reevaluate our relationship?”
“I don’t know if I can do this with you when I think I’m starting to want more.”
“If I knew we’d come to this then I wouldn’t have agreed to be your friend in the first place.”
“You’re confusing me. Stop it.”
“So what is it you really want from me?” “I don’t— I don’t know.”
“Fuck, why are you doing this to me?” “Doing what?” “Messing with my head!”
“Everything about this is starting to feel really not platonic.”
“…This isn’t working.”
“I’m pulling away before I get hurt.”
“Don’t give me mixed signals. If you want us to stay friends, don’t fucking act like that.”
“I don’t know about you, but I want out. I can’t keep doing this and act like we’re just friends.”
“Did I do something? Why are you suddenly acting so distant?” “Just… Because.”
“Don’t give me that shit. Don’t treat me like that. Don’t make me think you like me. Don’t give me the hope I don’t need or want. Don’t give me a reason to continue feeling this way for you.”
“…I think I like you.”
“Is it weird I wanna give you all of me?”
“This is all we should be, yet it somehow feels like we could be more. You feel me?” “…Sorry?”
