idk how else to explain this but the most beautiful man i've ever seen will always turn out to be a trans guy and the most beautiful woman i've ever seen will always turn out to be a trans woman and the most beautiful person i've ever seen will always turn out to be nonbinary why are we so gorgeous

at the center of me is a nefarious want. its spinsterly sinister jaw clicks loud in the cradle the river abandoned my body beside. besides, the best bet for attrition is a tuning fork to the eye. take me all in the compass your eye despite best efforts can never release. release, o terrible angel ⬇️

I love the phrase "writers and poets" because it suggests poets aren't writing but instead doing something far more sinister

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

fanfiction writers, I am feeling particularly grumpy about AI in fanfic spaces. I would love to see your favorite sentence that you have ever written. I need some good, wholly human art today.

jumpscared by bluesky thinking I was logging in from Texas and demanding I prove my "age verification" until I allowed the app to access my location and it saw I'm in California and let me in. what the fuck Bluesky.

The beginning of sweetheart, makes me sad that i’m finally finishing it, in the time it’s taken me to write it I’ve had the opportunity to take care of newborns and learn so much about new parenthood I had no idea my life would look like this towards writing the end of Sweetheart

i'm overjoyed by all the responses to this so far. thank you everyone for sharing your wonderful sentences (or way more than a sentence lol)

"a midnight change" "no chair, no problem" "weathering the storm" "not your personal mirror"

Memories are threadbare against the icy cold wind of reality.

"The mind is a great and terrible instrument, and we are such fickle wielders of it."

From the prologue of a FFXIV project I haven't got public with yet. This line fucking rules and I'm proud of it.

“Fred wept […] and asked God how many of his parents had to be taken from him. He asked how many of their lives would suffice, because if the toll were any more than the current count, he would not know what to do. There was no one else for him to give.”

There are many, but I'll go with this one! "The brown hair faded out as the door closed, replaced with the light perfect blue of Hajime Shino from Ra*bits."

thank you for making such a fun thread 🥰💛 I’ve been really enjoying all the snippets shared, as well!!

From the second chapter of Of Coffee, Conspiracies, and Confessions, my IwaSuga and EnnoSaku fic: archiveofourown.org/works/707452...

I will forever cackle at the line "This pussy's designer" in my all transfemme polytrix fic A Fever You Can't Sweat Out archiveofourown.org/works/695290... #RazzWrites #polytrix #fanfic #ao3fanfic

Okay, it's not a sentence, but I'm pretty proud of these two pieces. They're both short, and dear to my heart. Both happy pieces too 🥰 New School, New Friends archiveofourown.org/works/75155991 Kirishima's Very Manly Tiny Tent archiveofourown.org/works/80442276

tough tough tough. has to be from my genshin oc/oc fic i wrote sometime ago for my friend 😭.

[These words] are just as devastating, but instead of shredding Tooru’s heart to pieces, they pull it back together again, as if they were in some backwards quantum universe where shattered teacups jump back on to the table, fully formed and whole. 💛

"Pain with purpose is BECAUSE of pain without purpose." Love that line so much, really speaks to Sevandre's character

HERO WORSHIP #01 - COVER Explore the life of pro hero Ingenium through the magazine's arm candy, Bakugou~ #bnha #fanart #zine

From something I'm probably never going to post 'This was going to go great.' [ End chapter ] [ Next chapter ] 'So, as it turned out, he had misunderstood what 'great' meant.'

From my first fic after a years long writing break, Unscheduled Off-World Ejaculation: "For crying out loud Daniel, it was from Chulak! For all we know Apophis himself was jerking off in to the stargate," Jack said.

Still my favorite line from 'The Promise', including non-AI art inspired by the scene created by my talented niece. 😍 #DekariosFamily #BG3fanfic

It's very hard to pick, but the end of Astrophilia might hold my heart... "Estimated distance to cover - thirty-eight quadrillion kilometers, as calculated by our navigator. Estimated time of arrival... Fifty-three billion years. Give or take. We're coming home to you."

look. I'm not saying it's a solution to the current problem, HOWEVER—

For something more recent, a TLOU vignette I wrote for my "year of small joys" series (which can be found here: archiveofourown.org/works/441895... mind your step there's NSFW in other works though not this one)

How at home he was in the outdoors, where the grass wove its way through his hair the same way the flower stems were woven through his idle fingers.

It was hell. Talking to people. Touching dirty money. Handling food and drinks. Being *pleasant.* He hated every aspect and all it was doing was reinforcing his goal of going pro so he never had to deal with customer service again.

“What is writing if not a meaning I stick in your body?" - hard to choose a favorite but that’s the one that first came to mind.

running out of time on my phone's social media timer so if I don't see everyone's contributions to my fanfic sentence appreciation post, I will try to see them tomorrow on my breaks at work! thank you so much to everyone who's shared so far!! wow!!

First to come to mind: "The sentry's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Crap! He didn't know how to fix this. So he did what any sensible, brave, masculine creature would do in this situation. He screamed bloody murder." (from an old forum RP... jesus nearly 2 decades ago LOL)

I agree! I had a professor in undergrad that gave us a mini lecture on not writing our essays telegraphically, to not sound like a telegram, and I've kept that with me ever since. You know, "What can I do with this short sentence to make it a little extra?"

Spoiler for a chapter I've not publicly shared yet and it's a bit more than just one sentence but I think this bit of dialogue is my favorite ever so far.

THINK ABOUT IT - dashare.zone ADMIN

"Do you want me to Hollow Purple him?" Satoru asks. It's not a joke. "Do you even have it in you to Purple anyone?" Megumi asks. "Only one way to find out," Satoru says. He grins, wide and with far too many teeth, the moonlight from the window making them glow slightly in the dark.

I don’t remember everything I’ve ever written, but I adore this recent line from a proposal in a wedding fic I posted recently. “Nothing's made me cry more than being touched so gently by somebody as powerful as you.”

Good sentences are my favorite thing to talk about! I'm always trying to include it as much as I can in fanfiction conversations, or any conversation about reading and writing. I think it's especially important we talk even more about how we create our sentences as AI tries copying our craft.

I love commas. 🥰 Thanks for your post. I often appreciate things on the sentence level, but we don't talk about it that much when we talk about fic.

cheating bc of course this is like six sentences, but the most important thing is that no AI could be this funny

Like @muse.bsky.social I'm choosing the one I like best TODAY. Oliver imagined sinking downward through the epipelagic zone, and into the mesopelagic, the twilight zone, into silence and darkness, protected by the steel walls and tiny windows, which let in only the faintest rays of light.

"Eurgh," Annie said. Or, more seriously: Logan's breath caught for just a moment, then the shock and fear turned into a flash of white-hot anger. "That ain't gonna happen," he whispered fiercely. "I won't allow it."

"After a moment of silence made electric by eye contact and also a particularly tacky neon sign, he drew her hand up until it was resting on his arm and started walking again."

Starving, happy, victorious, the vampire wept.
