Quirk #10 || plus! Fairy Tale Choose-Your-Own-Adventure tag!

You know what would have been good? If I'd discovered that The Fairytale Central is doing their fairytale blog tag again before I put up a super short post at the start of February. It would have fit in well with that! 

Instead, I'm going to try to stuff it in this Quirk post! 

...take the story I am offering and do not question my time management.

He hates to admit it. He’s an adult. But when you can beam snide little messages into your brother’s head even after your parents tell you to sit in opposite corners until you can play nicely, feuds tend to go on longer than they should.

Ten years and they still haven’t got over the habit.

“Please, get out of my head.” Davy rolled onto his stomach and clutched the extra pillow against his ears, as if that would somehow help. “I’m trying to sleep.”

“I refuse. How dare you.”

One Quirk Later #10 || a short post to match February (?)

So I thought "oh, this is the tenth Quirk prompt?? wow, I've probably passed a year of Quirks now!" Leaving aside, of course, the fact that fully half the time I've missed posting. So I checked my old posts and the very first Quirk (labeled "oh no I have done a thing") was in May 2020??

When even was May 2020. 

This month's prompt is fairly... urban? I know some of mine lean towards fantasy (that's my bias), but hopefully this one can be used for contemporary, mystery, dystopian, and/or anything really. 

Will I still give mine fantasy elements? Who can say. But it's definitely a non-zero chance.

Drumroll, please:

One Quirk Later: Prompt #10

please admire my Pinterest. Also I'm sorry if the Quirk is blurry!! I do not know what is wrong!

he takes responsibility seriously, croakay? | Quirk #9

Remember, if you will, how I said I had Ideas for this Quirk prompt but wouldn't say in case I went a different direction? 

Yeah. I went a completely different direction. I was surprised too but seeing as the other directions gave me nothing I wasn't unhappy about it.

 

I woke up again.

I didn’t expect that, not really. I mean, I thought I’d eventually wake up—I always do—but I thought after all this time it might be for a new reason. Perhaps a different house would call me. That could be nice.

But no. Even though last time I was awake my house looked as though one good thump against its side would let it shiver into a heap of debris, it is, somehow, occupied again. Not that I can see anyone from my vantage point, but there’s some kind of music coming from inside, too deliberate to be anything but human.

Better check what my responsibilities are this time.

One Quirk Later #9 || 2022

 hello hello hello

Coming back here always makes me feel... nostalgic, I guess? I was but a tiny child when I began (...actually, how old was I?? I think... must have been nineteen? feels like I was a lot younger) and there are so many memories here. 

...Of course, if I would stop leAVING UNEXPECTEDLY, my blog wouldn't feel like it was full of long-past ghosts.

Huh. That's a thought.

But you didn't come here for my 3am-style questioning of identity and self. Thus, a Quirk. 

*brushes nostalgia ghosts into a corner*  unless, of course, I decide the prompt calls for ghosts?? 👀
