what does the fox say? {secret santa edition}

MERRY RATMAS FOX!

Due to having a complete lack of aesthetic talent, I did not make anything like tables, graphics, etc. but instead we gathered YOUR writing aesthetic and decided which lines were our favorite! A collage of talent, if you will.

Here are the answers from this little survey. They're all anonymous, but maybe you can have a guess at who is who?


Category 1: Favorite one-liner/paragraph written by Fox

1. You move to place your cross on the medicine cabinet. It slips from blurry eyes, falls into the sink, and catches on the drain. Midnight. And it snaps, breaking when you tug. - Eden

2. Most days you would fall asleep, never understanding what it was like to be without somebody. Weeks, then months after, and you would never know what to do except fill his spaces with shaky optimism from your shaky heart. - Sacha Dupont, D5 Reaping

3. Leviathan moves low in my gut, body sliding in warm whispers, drawing careful letters on the sides of my organs. Izar Stephens

4. The night sky tells you that Reese is dead – no constellations of astrological omens in your heliocentric movement – but just his face alit above you as bright as the stars had been so long ago. You can still feel the touch of his fingers on the bridge of your nose, a quiet laughter and some kind of sedateness in his voice when he says, “you feel handsome.” - Sacha Dupont, day 6

5. Sailors used to use the compasses in the sky. Circinus and Pyxis, and Polaris and Octans, star maps that lit up the roads of the ocean floor. They were for the great explorers of long ago, for wanderers searching for something essential. For people with paths to find, to follow. (They were never for you to use.) - Sacha Dupont, day 1

6. Five years, and she is all blurry. You held her hand. Dream of her in shapes. Five years later, a drunken man on the street slurs out whore in the middle of the night. Hey pretty boy, come home with me -- And you think about the Reaping, about what you asked Samson in the evening after. The question faltered beneath the strength of her gaze, crumbled until you could taste dirt ruins caving in your mouth. Don’t ignore me, fuckin’ whore -- You wash your hands. In the water, his blood comes off your knuckles. - Eden

7. You still pick yourself up, but there is a falter, a pulse and hold. And for once you wish you could take care of yourself. You wish you could be strong. You wish you could be. - Sacha Dupont, Bloodbath

8. "I like Foxy Shazam and long walks on the beach. idk." - (Your intro post lol) the one and the only, Fox. It's all right here, right where it all started, the beauty, the perfection, THE START OF SOMETHING NEW IT FEELS SO RIGHT TO BE HERE WITH YOU WOAH

9. this literally took me like half an hour to choose because fox writes such good posts but I particularly liked this post from sacha: "She asked you if you were a fighter or a survivor. But you existed for two years melding yourself to sound of his pulse, forgetting what it was like to miss without reason, to kiss and feel weight, to sleep on knives at night with the fear of monsters clawing into your head. You existed in something perfect – maybe, not perfect because you have a blue heart and sun scars, places where he touched and nothing grew but the vast desert and distance. You have moments illuminated by light breaking through the windows, you no longer think about. But it was the first; it was yours, and there is that green hurt still growing from your stomach – all the beautiful things he gave to you.

10. But she is dead. And Sam is not here, and there is no one else who can take you to your house in the flowers. You miss Seve. And you miss who you were. -- bruh idk its a sacha post day 5 or 6 i think my dude
