Made A Soup Zine In 2021! Asked My Friends To Send Me Some Recipes. :' ) Had A Lot Of Fun With The Lettering.

made a soup zine in 2021! asked my friends to send me some recipes. :' ) had a lot of fun with the lettering.

gdrive link to a PDF here. feel free to print it out at home! hope this keeps you warm and soup-cookin' for the rest of winter!

soft gestures between friends turning lovers:

(feel free to use <3 tag meeee do i even need to ask?? the 3rd and 4th one from the last! omg taggmee)

fluttering gazes at their lips

subtle glances and almost immediately looking away

shyly holding their hand and putting them in your pocket for warmth. yes pls

stuttering when you're too close to them

supporting them through everything

pretending to be their date for an event

dancing with them and every where they touch, feels like its being ignited

feeling safer in their arms :)

when they say they feel safe in your embrace *.♡｡✰♡｡

lingering glances

feeling out of breath whenever you look at them

hugs feel a lot more intimate between the two of you

defending them in their absence

kissing their forehead/cheek while wishing good-night

"please say it" (can u hear my heart tearing)

instead of asking you out on a date, they end up at your doorstep with a big ass bouquet, a cheeky smile and a handwritten letter!!!

when they hesitate to kiss because it'll change everything but you pull them in without a second thought

from feeling surreal at the thought of waking up beside them to actual doing so, and being smothered by their love

Creative misfortunes for characters

Identity Crisis: Have your character lose their memory, forcing them to rediscover their true self and past.

Betrayal by a Loved One: A close friend or family member betrays the character's trust, leading to emotional turmoil and inner conflict.

Physical Transformation: Give your character a physical ailment or transformation that they must come to terms with, such as sudden blindness, a debilitating illness, or turning into a different species.

Unrequited Love: Make your character fall deeply in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings, causing heartache and a quest for self-discovery.

Financial Ruin: Strip your character of their wealth and privilege, forcing them to adapt to a life of poverty and face the harsh realities of the world.

False Accusation: Have your character falsely accused of a crime they didn't commit, leading to a desperate quest to clear their name.

Natural Disaster: Place your character in the path of a devastating natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or tsunami, and force them to survive and rebuild.

Loss of a Sense: Take away one of your character's senses (e.g., sight, hearing, taste) and explore how they adapt and cope with this profound change.

Forced Isolation: Trap your character in a remote location, like a deserted island, and make them confront their inner demons while struggling to survive.

Haunted Past: Reveal a dark secret from your character's past that comes back to haunt them, threatening their relationships and well-being.

Time Travel Consequences: Send your character back in time, but make them inadvertently change a crucial event in history, leading to unintended consequences in the present.

Psychological Breakdown: Push your character to the brink of a mental breakdown, exploring the complexities of their psyche and their journey towards recovery.

Unwanted Prophecy: Have your character be the subject of a prophecy they want no part of, as it places them in grave danger or disrupts their life.

Loss of a Loved One: Kill off a beloved character or make your protagonist witness the death of someone close to them, igniting a quest for revenge or justice.

Incurable Curse or Disease: Curse your character with an incurable ailment or supernatural curse, and follow their journey to find a cure or accept their fate.

Sudden Disappearance: Make a character disappear mysteriously, leaving the others to search for them and uncover the truth.

Betrayal of Morals: Force your character into a situation where they must compromise their ethical values for a greater cause, leading to moral dilemmas and internal conflict.

Loss of a Precious Object: Have your character lose a cherished possession or artifact that holds sentimental or magical significance, setting them on a quest to recover it.

Political Intrigue: Place your character in a position of power or influence, then subject them to political intrigue, manipulation, and power struggles.

Existential Crisis: Make your character question the meaning of life, their purpose, and their place in the universe, leading to a philosophical journey of self-discovery.

Remember that misfortunes should serve a purpose in your story, driving character growth, plot development, and thematic exploration.

childhood friends to lovers (reuniting and reigniting) prompts

prompt list by @novelbear

 when they see each other for the first time and realize just how much they’ve missed one another 

 doing that twirling/spinning thing when they hug

 “wow, you look…great. amazing, actually.” 

 noticing that they still kept habits that they’d always endeared back then 

  thinking that it was always just a childhood crush, but once they reunite, it suddenly hits them that it definitely wasn’t.

 “you still wear that little bracelet i made you?” “it’s like my good luck charm..” 

 “i never thought i’d see you again…” 

  having their first date at a spot they’d always hang out at when they were younger 

 maybe they pick up on a project or work on a crazy idea they had when they were little (ex; writing a song together) 

 “there’s never been a day since i left that i haven’t thought about you..” 

 “i’ve liked you since the fourth grade…” “are you joking?!” “please, everyone knew but you.”

 digging up a time capsule they made years before

 ^ maybe they find a little love note that one wrote (thinking it would never be found) 

 being just as close as they were when they were little, but now everyone assumes they’re a couple

 “some things never change.” “yeah, i guess they don’t…” 

 “how does a date sound?” “like…a playdate or…?” “oh shut up you know what i mean.” 

List of “I still…” prompts

I still smell the traces of your scent on my bedsheets; my clothes; my pillowcase

I still remember your favourite songs; the way you’d sing them out loud thinking no one’s listening, and then getting flustered when you realised I heard you

I still remember all of your little quirks in which I’ve always found so endearing to me, but you always thought were annoying 

I still remember the feel of you under my palms; every curve, every line 

I still have your number memorised, like the back of my hand

I still remember your smile, the soft quirk to it. How could I not? It’s ingrained in the back of my mind, even though I wish it wasn’t

I still can’t get you out of my mind even though I’m probably long gone from yours

I still remember how you’d laugh at my jokes even though they didn’t make any sense to anyone else

I still have our inside jokes kept somewhere in the back of my mind

I still remember how you taste

I still remember how you sound; your sweet voice you told me you hated when you had to listen back to it over voice recording 

I still remember how you’d be there for me, through both the thick and the thin 

I still remember how you told me you’d always be there for me

I still remember how our love was supposed to be unconditional… until it wasn’t

I still remember how things went down south. Where did things go wrong? I still don’t really understand what happened…

I still think about you, day in, day out

I still miss you

I still want you

I still need you

And I… I still love you, even after all of this time
