just ordered the loz comics zine prototype 😁😁

#its 62 pages altogether & includes 5 comics!! very excited to see them printed #trying to figure out pricing and sales options rn. i have no concept of how much shipping costs fr #im thinking theyre gonna be about $10 sans shipping for physical zines and i may do a pay-what-you-want-above-$1 for the pdf #bc it does include 5 new title page illustrations as well as the new cover illustration and 2 spot illustrations! #<<this is all assuming my $35 prototype comes in as planned btw. making products is soooo hard #personal

i wanna show yall this rn because i'm excited about it tbh...it's gonna be cheesy and fluffy and silly. (can you tell i have way too much fun in picsart- that means i genuinely can't tell if the header thingy looks atrocious, cringe sure but legit can't decide just how bad). the imagine that inspired this.

#even if it looks ridiculous hey this is meant to be cheesy so WHATEVA #like ive been staring at it and have no idea if it looks like a child made it...still an improvement from my first couple LMAO #there are two wolves inside me: doesnt write a word for weeks straight vs stays up all night thinking and planning #not to jinx it or anything but words have been wording #yalls kind words have inflated my ego lol #and yes i kinda hate that the aesthetic isnt green- but we gotta branch out a little bit #me when yall get the title references MWAH MWAH #ellie williams #ellie williams x reader #ellie x reader #ellie williams smut #ellie smut #ellie williams fanfiction #upcoming fic #current wip #ellie williams fluff

Eragon and Nasuada are both well loved characters with a lot of good qualities, but they also have some serious flaws and make some grave mistakes. For example, I feel they're objectionable treatment of Murtagh has been discussed relatively often. However, I think they need Way More criticism for how utterly negligent they were in preparing for the confrontation with Galbatorix. Without the outside benefit of genre awareness, it's so egregious how they almost never even try to come up with a plan to kill him. I feel like it springs from inexperience, being overwhelmed, and arrogance, but it's so severe because the ramifications extend to countless lives beyond their own. And no matter the reasons for it, neither of them ever then acknowledge this failing and amend for its consequences, and that is inexcusable. The fact that the first and only plan they ever had to defeat Galbatorix (which immediately fails btw), Eragon came up with hours before the final battle is honestly sickening. Considering their war is justified by a moral basis, the Varden's ethics, specifically in their leaders are all but non-existent.

Why???!!!! It feels like they take no responsibility for their allies! Their concern for them is vague at best and doesn't inform their actions. It's as if they believe that because these people willingly joined their cause knowing they could die, they as leaders are free of blame for anything that happens to them, which is a naive and indulgent misconception. Their decisions still determine those people's fates! And in regards to the eventual fight against Galbatorix, that potential fate they're taking a chance with should they lose is all their allies being slaughtered, down to the very last man. For a start. But Eragon and Nasuada are too young to shoulder that weight as their stations demand and too arrogant to admit their inability, so they just leave it by the wayside.

#eragon #inheritance cycle #eragon shadeslayer #nasuada #its also just a result of overall weak writing lol but thats another conversation #maybe thats why im so unforgiving of it #it could have been a better piece of their characters if it was acknowledged or if they faced any consequences for it #but its not. #the way orrin freaked out and threatened to withdraw when eragon decided to up and go to vroengard- #-the literal morning after becoming leader of the varden was fully justified orrin had every right #because eragon was openly admitting that There Is No Plan #it was cold hard proof that he didn't believe there was a chance they could beat galbatorix as is #which is what they'd been lying about to orrin the whole fucking time #the betrayal of it all... #*sigh* ......................anyway. #when do i just change my blog title to 'orrin apologist' lmao

can i make a fic about jellyfish just as long as a fic about plants?

well i'm sure as shit gonna try

#jelly fic #still doesn't have an actual title yet #this one is like tlou with a sprinkling of stardew valley #dance of the moonlight jellies #all these words and there's been mentions of jellies but no actual jellies yet #maybe in another 2k words or so #this one might be out by the weekend #because my weekend plans just fell through bc my partner got the rona again so when i'm not at work i'm stuck at home #wearing a mask at the computer while he is locked in our spare room because i'm showing as negative #tl;dr i have lots of writing time now and i intend to put it to good use #gonna finish jelly fic #gonna work on what the original jelly fic was but now is a fic of its own #gonna work on bus fic part 5 #on the road again (there i go) #gonna do some more brainstorming for bthb #just so many things to do #i'll shut up in the tags now though #night night #the last of us fanfiction #tlou fanfiction #joel and ellie #fanfic struggles

question for fic writers: how many docs do you have for one multichap fic? im curious because currently I have four: the fic itself, the planning doc, the notes doc, and the drabbles doc for whenever i feel like writing random later scenes

i find it really helpful and a lot less confusing having each thing separated into its own doc so i can focus and its way easier to find what im looking for

#idk the idea of doing everything in one doc sounds painful to me #im curious how other people do this #i also know that not everyone plans out fics #like wwy is planned out to the chapter #everything is subject to change but i have all the titles and summaries for each one #which is why i think it has been easier and more fun to write #because i know where the story is going i just have to figure out how

I just wrote for 8+ hours but unfortunately it was not for JTSYS... I'm SORRY I got SIDETRACKED. I will work on JTSYS tomorrow when my wrists and fingers and brain have all recovered. for now I rest!

#(i wrote my knight/prince soriku fic because i was just... feeling it today?) #um. can't figure out a title for that one AT ALL yet but i have plenty of time for that part. #Its a oneshot and i have 2/3 of it written now but I dont plan to polish it or post it until jtsys is done #I also don't know if there will be an audience for it because it is uh. different. from jtsys #i'm going to try to pepper in fluff fics between each other fic i post because i know already that all 3 are not fluff at all #and i don't want to alienate my readers when things start becoming grim or whatever #ANYWAYS! my brain is full of cotton i cannot think straight I WROTE SO MUCH TODAY. I MUST REST. GOODNIGHT #pluffie talks

Man, just saw a post about it, but renewed my frustration over work nonsense yesterday

Being like, oh, cool! It's disability pride month! We get to switch the displays in the store! I wanna make a really cool display right up front!!

Getting a cart to go start selecting books from our wide array of children's books, picture books, YA novels, adult fiction, nonfiction, etc that I know feature disabled characters and people and that I've seen sitting on the shelves for a while, our previous book buyer was always suuuuuper vocal about finding books w disabled characters, after all, representation just MATTERED SO MUCH to her,

And then being absolutely dumbfounded when we BARELY HAVE ANYTHING outside of characters w ADHD/Autism. MAYBE anxiety. PERHAPS a character has cancer. THE FAINTEST SUGGESTION of a wheelchair in one book. Huntington's? Question mark? In another? Conditions resulting in disfigurement/amputation? The concept could possibly exist in this book, uhh.. maybe...... anything else? Ha! Not on these shelves I fucking guess?!

Like.... we have a ton of books w queer rep! Different body types! Different skin tones! Teach your toddler about social justice! Transgender characters! Nonbinary characters! The alphabet but we're making it gay! At least one book, I think, with asexual characters! But no, we don't have our self-empowerment books anymore or the little guide to sexuality and disability, we have Buddhist monk advice for anxious people, but nooooo we DON'T have that cool book that talked about disability activism anymore, and definitely not in time for July!

I know she and I were at odds before she left, and I know my specifically putting "National month of..." prompts up on my desk calendar after she expressed it was "so difficult to find out what each month is the month of!" probably really irritated her, but I'm like. Appalled that she hadn't been ordering to restock for disability pride month since she always made such a big deal about having books like that in the store.

#venting #work stuff #she quit at the end of june #two of my coworkers and I are sorta filling in for her role while a replacement is searched for and all that #i know she put in a ton of orders before she left so I'm hoping things start to trickle in #i haven't gone thru the order submissions in detail yet to see what we're expecting #but i'll be doing that later this week #as it is today was dealing with a mess of half unpacked shipments #and correcting little mistakes here and there and leaving instructions for coworkers tomorrow #gotta say i was so... disappointed hunting for those books #i looked at the sad selection of nonfiction and self help stuff I'd found and was like. yeah i think I'd be offended #if i saw these titles all grouped together for the pride display. it just felt bad #i made a halfway decent arrangement for the children's section but it took a lot of title research #and even then like half the titles i saw in recommendation lists looked so cool and i would think #surely we should have THIS one bc it looks like the sorta thing Buyer would have ordered and it seems neat as hell! #but. uh. we would have no order history for it. #hhhrrhhrhrhrgh if i see absolutely nothing in the orders we will be expecting #I'm gonna order a bunch of books #and try to plan out the next couple of monthly themes #hmph! even if I'm not the books person I'm still gonna put in SOME effort!!

When you've finished writing everything for a one-shot fic you've been working on for the past week or so, including figuring out what Ao3 tags to use, and making a short summary for said fic. But cannot figure out what the heck you're gonna title it....

Why is coming up with fic titles so hard?

#fanfic #ao3 #seriously i cannot figure out what the hell I'm gonna title this damn thing.... #everything about it is complete and it's ready to post #i just need to figure out a damn title #it doesn't help that it's a part of a series where I've decided each title will either be the name of a song or be a song lyric #which was actually an unintentional plan #but then the first five one-shots i planned out for this series ended up having either song lyrics as the title or the name of a song #it also doesn't help that these fics are all Kinktober related.... #what songs do i know that are about sex or could work in the context of a title for a smut fic?? #fuck it it's nearly 4am I'll deal with this in the morning

a week ago i was ready to give up on kings blood and today i just finished outlining each new chapter of the restructuring/rewrite im doing 😌.....

#s.txt #here's the timeline of events. it takes me what? six months to do a first draft #i'm happy with it its good its great i move onto the sequel i move backwards to a weird prequel/in between thing #i spend way too long on that thang #i rewatch jupiter's legacy and i'm like. [biting lip emoji] split timeline narrative would kinda slay wouldn't it. #throw the prequel bits into the first draft it totally FUCKS everything up #its fine its okay because that first draft sucked ass anyways its so terrible its embarassing #i want to kms and break my computer etc etc no you know what [delirious] this could work... #i spent way too long on the wrong parts of it. #hate it. love it. complicated relationship with it. hate it again. SCRAP the introduction change so many details #only like 25% of the first draft has survived the purge its fine its good #break the first chapter into smaller chapters. kinda banger w the split narrative. kinda slays. #figure out how i need to restructure the rest of it. #and now i have all 40 chapters planned out babeyy the themes and motifs will kiss with tongue #i might name the parts really stupid things with total sincerity no one gets how funny heir to the sun / revenge of the night would be #as part titles. like its so funny. it's SO funny. #i'm delirious #revenge of the night revenge of the knight heir to the sun heir to the son its funnnnyyyyy #anyways. [unintelligible gibberish] #no one cares about kings blood i know no one cares about kings blood but how do i explain its literally #the only thing ive thought about for an entire year. im obsessed with it. not even gonna lie.

HI TUMBLR late footnote posting before i go to bed (i took a nap today........ ate up most of my time)

not a lot to talk about with footnotes today since i was Busy and my brain wasnt working pfndkmlfd i blame seven hours of modded oneblock

#haunted ecosystem #haunted bookshelf #i might make a tag for these footnote posts? i think its a fun way to document what ive written about without sharing All of it #also yes thats a random crack au that i've have in the back of my head for a bit what about it #i dont think its canon in the slightest its just a funny little thing in my head for writing random bs #honestly i might start trying to work on more wtds stuff. this is kind of a perfect excuse #also! i think how i might work this is that if i work on a larger project during the day then i'll just do the daily prompt #since its a good exercise and an excuse to keep some kind of writing streak going #i actually asked one of my partners for a prompt since i was struggling to find an interesting one #ended up with 'last man standing' for spoke... very fitting tbh #i might write a more canon take for that. the concept i wrote down was much more set in an au than anything since i was also thinking #about asomatous zam at the same time so i kind of just incorparated both of them into it with it being paracosm-era #OH did i ever mention that i have a general title plan for the other parts of that kind of. world #its very set in stone that if i do write more it'll be two more parts #metamorphosis (5 part) and paracosm (1 part with multiple scenes. functionally 3 part maybe?) #asomatous goes in the middle of that. i need to kind of plan all of them out better and see how it wants to flow #metamorphosis was started as a concept because i had a few bad things happen bingo prompts i wanted to be used for asomatous #but didnt end up using. so metamorphosis is my excuse for that. paracosm is just a Concept thats been really plaguing me basically since i #originally wrote asomatous... i should probably come up with a temporary series title. i think something about shattering skies? #its a reoccurring theme and symbol throughout all of them....... i just think its neat #ANYWAYS goodnight to you especially if you actually read through all my tags :)

I have to give the people what they want (calamity!fx art)

#have an ice lolly bimbo for your troubles #making him die a horrible icy death so that he can contrast with mqs lava incident #theyre both having an awful time but at least they’re matching #apparently i can plan out the majority of a fic before coming up with a calamity title for him #we’re working on it #calamity!feng xin #tgcf #i hate how this turned out but i spent so long that you all have to be nice to me

[lewmagoo]

i have had an incredibly draining day 😪

#my boss made me cry #and then a trip i’ve been planning for over a year fell through #and i’m trying to get my name out on the title of my car so i own it for once and for all #but that’s been a nightmare in and of itself #and then my grandma’s health is just deteriorating so badly #and we don’t want to put her in a nursing home #and at this moment we can’t bc she’ll lose everything #they’ll take her house and her property and everything #bc american healthcare is a joke #plus she’d end up going to a place where they’d neglect her bc nursing homes are shit #so that means either me or my mom will have to live with her full time #which isn’t for another several months #anyway i’m just venting #and stressed #trying to survive

created some new characters for a fantasy story

Haile (he/him, 24) - Half-elf, mage's apprentice nearing the end of his training

Kezkel (he/him, 41) - Human mage, Haile's mentor

Sarasi (she/her, 14) - Human lady, possesses type of magic thought to be long-gone. A bit of a perfectionist, but has a hard time casting

Izri (she/they, 13) - Human peasant, also capable of magic thought to be gone. Has a lot of natural skill at casting, and is generally a friendly and sunshiny person

In this world, magic is fairly rare, and often restricted to trained guild members. The re-emergence of a dead magic is in line with a prophecy of a world-changing cataclysm, and it's assumed the girls will play a key role in it all.

Haile and Kezkel are tasked with safely escorting the pair to a guild where they'll be trained and protected, but the further they go, the more it seems there are enemies at every turn...

#haven't worked out all the magic and factions but i look forward to it #not planning on making it a full blown novel yet but i want to draw some scenes with them :) #i love the girls' designs especially and am excited about drawing them casting #initially inspired by me thinking about the scene in hunger games where mags sacrifices herself so finnick can save katniss and peeta #and realizing finnick is only 24 #and thinking 'oh. im 24. i would not be prepared to protect a pair of teenagers.' #and deciding to make that concept into a character lol #except! (spoiler) kezkel doesn't die because this is a whump account. different kind of sacrifice in mind ;) #fantasy #calicosstories #wildbluethunder #(<stand in tag until i come up with a title) #ill make a masterlist when i come up with more stuff #i have like three specific scenes in mind #OH and this is the story ill put Romulus Hart in #ive been working on the character's casting abilities and basic personalities and haile is also trans good for him #starburdened

Legendary rare adventures

#custom cards #them all being legendary wasn't even intended at first #but it works out like this I suppose #originally planned for the black one to be mythic instead of rare #because the chapter it's about is pretty much the climax #but then I decided to keep it consistent instead #also #looking through the planned chapters to see which titles I can still use is like one of the hardest parts lol #I still have five that aren't on any cards #but I don't think I'll do another cycle #not only do I have to have an adventure that fits the chapter #but also a creature that fits #literally in this cycle most of these are made up for the cards #and I suppose will be worked in the chapters somehow when I get to them #actually #I wonder if you can tell which cards are made flavor first #and which mechanics first #like in general #not just these #but especially the legendaries #custom cards 1
