WRITING OBSTACLE

Submitted by j.byrd

Write a scene where the characters say ‘I love you’ without actually saying the words ‘I love you’.

What non-verbal things express love?

From The River

From the river to the sea

Damn you all, you and me

Not a word in this time of need

Friends massacred, lost at sea


Sea of blood and bones

Filled by a Zion’s greed

Evacuate at noon

Daily, never be free


From the river to the sea

Damn us all in this time of need

For sitting in heaven with all liberty

Not batting an eye to what the government calls


Democracy

This is really beautifully put <3


The reference to sitting in heaven is so heartbreaking. If this is heaven I fear hell.


Free Palestine 🇵🇸. Your voice matters.


Hopefully it will be over soon

This time calls for change


I’m afraid, like a black hole, that we have crossed the event horizon. This is a time of change that we cannot escape. We can only delve deeper into the chaos and hope that the order which emerges is the order we need, not the hell encompassing us.

I'm actually a huge need when it comes to black holes and I know that all matter that falls into a black hole eventually comes back out changed.


This will pass because it has to.


We will change because we have to.

Same here

And as discovered by Stephen Hawking, the black hole radiates

It will end eventually. It can’t last forever.


We have to emerge victorious. For humanity.

Black hole nerd, anarchist and pro Palestine?? You're defo my kinda person.


It's people like you who change the world (but also don't have the weight of the world on your shoulders pls <3)

I’m sorry 😭 I’m the friend group therapist! I already have several death-scares in my pocket idk if bottling my traumas will work for much longer :’3


And you too! The moment you said black hole nerd I knew we’d get along!


Also love the username, Daisy Renton hehe



But yeah, I do occasionally desire to make a change, but even while on holiday with all the time in the world, what can I do against a nation?

Same girl, same😅. Talk to me if you need- yeah?


Tyyy- inspector calls is gen such a good play. As much as I hate English😭I'm rlly grateful to have studied it


There is plenty we can do to stop a nation.

They aren't as strong as you think.

It tends to be money and trade where they fall short.


Due to interdependence and globalisation there are very little (and I mean literally just Russia) countries that don't rely on others


So boycotts and sanctions tend to do the trick

I will, glad you can relate ^w^”

Or well, sorry that you can relate, at least you’re not alone!


And I love AIC too! Even though I probably failed English :’3


Sometimes I dream about raiding Downing Street and forcibly taking it but then I remember this isn’t an action movie and I couldn’t fight a whole army :3


Thank goodness boycotting and peaceful protests exist in its place
