the thing is, i think horror needs to have a little love. it needs to have an obsession. does the parasite in your body love you? it raises you from the dead, it sustains you. this is its body. this is your body. does the haunted house feel intruded upon? is it hungry? what is hatred but adoration?
this got a lot more attention than ithought it would. anyways this was prompted by me rewatching a danny phantom amv for avril lavignes “what the hell.” i just thought all you people tagging this as writing inspo should know that.
6 physical ways to show affection in In-System Relationships!
Brought to you by Medic and Viktor, as well as some very helpful folks on Discord
#1: Partner Pillows
Have a pillow that’s a similar size and shape to your partner’s body type. Partner Pillows are a good way to cuddle with your sweetheart and have a better bodily connection with them.
#2: Transferring kisses
Try kissing the palm or the back of the body’s hand and then pressing it against the body’s face, similar to blowing kisses.
#3: Wearing sweaters
Wearing sweaters and clothes that are tight around the torso can give the feeling of a warm hug. It’s even better if the sweater was bought as a gift.
#4: Mirror kisses
For deeper kisses, try using a little pocket/makeup mirror so you can see them when you kiss them, even if it’s the body you’re seeing. Alternatively, for fictives, you might be able to find a piece of merchandise of them (like a plush or poster) for you to kiss.
#5: Surprise them with things they like
For systems that don’t overlap too much with consciousness and memories, try setting up a romantic gesture while your partner isn’t in front so you can surprise them later (example: a basket of treats, or something they’ve wanted/needed to buy for a while).
#6: Sensory associations
Try having a sensory object (something with a particular scent, a fidget toy, a piece of cloth with a nice texture, ect.) and using it while you and your partner are being romantic, so you associate it with those experiences. It’s nice to have a sensory association to remind you of your partner when you’re upset.

The Blorp Rule is that instead of getting stuck when you donât know what to write, you just write in [blorp] and move on!
For example, if youâre writing a conversation between a character and their mentor but you donât know what the mentorâs name is, you would just write [blorp] where the mentorâs name would be.
This also works for other things too! If you know how a scene begins, and how it ends but you donât feel like writing out the middle, you might put in something like [Blorp: Figure out how character A gets away from the guards], or [Blorp: write in dialogue between these two characters later] and just keep writing.
The idea is that you donât have to stop writing just because you donât know how to write something out, or if you donât feel like writing that specific part! You can use the Blorp Rule and move on to whatever is next instead of getting stuck, and getting frustrated. This will allow you to work on something else, without forgetting to come back to whatever you blorped, later. Additionally, if youâre writing on your computer, you can Control FÂ âblorpâ to find all the places you have to fill in, so you wonât be missing anything!
