or fantasy 🗡
Ideally in one thread and with the #writever hashtag
1/ Weird
All my friends are weird. Some are too loud, others are silent. They wear strange clothes and laugh at the wrong moment. Some don't work or have non serious jobs. My friends act weird, but are all kind to me
#writever
2/Heal
Healing from a wound is finding the way to sew it and make the new patch, a part of your mended life and body. It can take time, but I can help you to heal faster.
#writever
3/Reproduce
When I decided not to reproduce, people started to ask me if I had traumas. Of course I am traumatized, but it's not the number one reason for my refusal to give life to a human being in this horrible world.
#writever
4/Cookies
My grandmother wasn't the kind of grandmas that you can find in the stories. She used to have a nice kitchen, but she never cooked. She had a huge cookie jar, but there never had cookies in it. She liked to play video games. She taught me.
#writever
5/incommunicability
Incommunicability is the law, not the exception. When you realize how complex and different our inner worlds are, you can no more dream of instant understanding in conversations.
#writever
6/desire
If you're not rich enough to get rid of the thousands of advertisements trying to catch your attention, you’ll only be able to have access to the desire proposed by the consummation society. One can be happy with it.
#writever
7/ Conflicting
If you try to understand the human world, you’ll find mostly conflicting information. Your computer world has nothing to do with ours, it’s the rational ideal that we will never reach
#writever
8/Transmisogyny
Trans women are never at the right place. Considered bad men while having to live as men, they are suddenly suspected of being true men when they transition. Bad men, bad women. Transmisogyny would prefer them not to exist at all.
#writever
9/recite
You recite the texts that are bigger than you, that you cannot change to make them yours, poetry, laws, spells. But why would you recite a prayer, if it's supposed to be your living and true conversation with God?
#writever
10/structure
The structures are around, like bones holding us. Everybody needs bones, but not too many of them, not more than flesh.
#writever
11/Dogma
You no longer have to learn the dogma by heart. Take that yellow pill and swallow it. You'll immediately know what you have to do.
#writever
12/Neologism
Neologisms and borrowings are what keeps the language alive and able to describe any existing or hypothetical situation. They help us to welcome more possibilities.
#writever
13/appearance
Don't ever trust the appearance here. Our job is to show things at their best, be it for our customers or for us. Check the facts, only them are reliable.
#writever
14/ Why?
Why do we have to keep the memory of our old selves? I’m no longer the person that I used to be when I was 15. I have almost nothing in common with that strange girl.
#writever
15/Hindsight
With the benefit of hindsight, I regret none of my life choices, even the worst years at my former job. I've managed to learn from them.
#writever
16/Making mistakes
Everybody makes mistakes she said. I was surprised and I asked if she meant “every child”. But she said no. Everybody does, the adults also.
I kept silent, not knowing what to think. My beliefs were a mistake.
#writever
17/consequence
The unknown consequence wants to be part of the decision . But it can't come into the discussion alone, so that you see it clearly. You can only meet several hypotheses, one of them being the mysterious consequence.
#writever
18/collective imagination
You don't create a collective imagination by summing several ideas. It is something that has to be organized, collectively, with an attention to the most vulnerable.
#writever
19/Attempt
I don't know how many attempts are necessary to constitute a failure? Maybe it's not a good idea to count them . Each attempt is unique and irreplaceable.
#writever
20/Complex
Beyond the visible, gender is more complex than you think, they said. I could have taken the opportunity to start a conversation about my own doubts on what I was supposed to be. But I didn't dare.
#writever
21/Mask
My grandmother used to put paintings on the walls, only to mask their imperfections. Her living room was full of paintings of several sizes and styles.
#writever
22/Foolishness
I’ll never go shopping with you again. I need to be careful about my expenses, but your foolishness doesn't care, desiring all sorts of things. I understand it's not your fault. It's my responsibility towards myself to be vigilant.
#writever
23/Act relevant
Unless you act relevant, I won’t even hear you talking. It’s not you that I don’t trust. It’s my experience of being fooled by supposedly friends that makes me cautious.
#writever
24/bullying
Bullying is forbidden. This is part of the reason why it's so funny. Not only do you think you are strong, but you appear like a rebel daring doing bad things.
#writever
25/communication
My son goes to school with joy and curiosity. What he really adores is the communication course and the emotional regulation training. I wish I had learned those things too.
#writever
26/Doubt
I want to become a better human, the young man said, how does your wisdom advise me to start.
—Are you sure? The wise asked.
—I'm am, the other said.
—You should doubt, the oldest added. Hey! Why are you leaving?
#writever
27/Neo-essentialism
I’m able to love pieces of art, even contemporary ones, but I can’t adopt the specialist’s discourse that often uses words like post-post-modernism, neo-essentialism, pre-apocalypstism, and so on.
#writever
28/Grow
What is growing is growing still, but what is dying is dying silently. How can I make the difference just by listening?
#writever
29/trigger
Everybody has a trigger, something that makes them explode in less than a minute. But you won't be able to find mine. I know it well and I know how to protect it.
#writever
30/Retry
Don't ever go to the casino. Don't play with the colorful machine. Go away. If you try once, you'll retry, especially if you happen to win.
