So I just got back from a terrible two weeks of working abroad while writing intense chapters and posting whatever miseries I could to Wattpad so that I could maintain whatever sanity I had.

Might as well write about how terrible my city is since I still need that little bit of sanity I have left to not leave my mind.

@impurestcheese@wildvine I think you guys are lucky in that case. It means you guys can find the gems in the musical industry. Like this one that Impurest picked.

Meanwhile, my ears like too much of the popular things so I rarely try to find the obscure types unless its EDM.

@stumpy49er Gets my vote

@cbishop I saw your other comment on my phone. Couldn't get home quickly enough.

*Sigh* Can't promise anything next time. Too busy.

@stumpy49er Congratulations from a person you barely know lmao.

Have fun doing what Uncle's are supposed to do.

P.S. I have no idea what uncle's are supposed to do since my family has this lineage of being only children with no siblings.

@cbishop That's a cool story. I know what you mean by some gay characters being gimmicks rather than advancing or showcasing a part of the world or story. Although, not all homosexual stories are exactly gimmicks. There have been writers of past showcasing or hinting at lesbianism or homosexuality but a lot of those authors had to avoid being banned. (Now with free speech actually applying to literature in most cases, it isn't really a problem.) The Fox by D.H. Lawrence could be an example of early lesbanism back in 1923.

Basically the summary of what I have noticed is that a gay character either exists because of three reasons: 1. As a story/character detail that draws in people and may produce complications in plot. 2. Showcases tolerance or intolerance in a society. 3. The writer has no idea how else to write a relationship because being gay themselves, it's difficult to write a straight one. (I find it almost automatic to make a male character gay because it's basically natural.)

Paraphrasing from the book How to Read Literature like a Professor. Writers put what they have in their conscience and subconscious into the story as well as their imagination. Basically if the writer is already gay, it is easy for them to make a gay character because it is part of their essence as a person imaginatively, subconsciously, and consciously.

@cbishop I forgot to mention this but your entry made me laugh. Proud to be gay over here lmao.

P.S. Not all gay men are flamboyant. Still it's funny.

I am so sorry. I completely forgot about this and couldn't get an entry in.

Hopefully I will be able too next time but I can't promise it. Too busy now.

And my vote goes to Impurest

I completely forgot and am nowhere near a computer right now. *uses creative language* Sorry.

This is a free-verse poem. Note: Nothing states that the word fire should be in the submission. If not, I can revise it.

...

You release

You give yourself away

To the rhythms of evil

The blanket that surrounds your being

The dark covering the sun's rays

What's left to do, is leave all behind

The ending you have awaited for so long

Let it touch you, caress you toward death

As it leads you to the depths of your pitiful nightmares

You're alone now, to die as dust

Nothing lives, you look around

You feel the heat and let it envelop you

Internalize it, and you may live to see another day, another life

Deny its help, and the man with horns

Comes, takes you away

To live another day

...

And that's more than 50 words. I'll revise it
