#self-promotion I guess?

[spinef0ryou]

i think there might be something to be said about how arguably the three men who started the dance are all second sons. doomed to live in your older brother’s shadow forever so you devote yourself to him and make your own name through violence

#house of the dragon #hotd #otto hightower #daemon targeryan #aemond targaryen #aemond one eye #otto might not be devoted to garmund per se but he is devoted to the family and if the lord is the embodiment of the family it fits #and making your name through violence like daemon with the gold cloaks and his war in the stepstones to the point of becoming the king there #aemond with his knightly training and his love for the deadly art but no love for the pageantry of it and spurning gallantry #and otto in marrying off his child daughter to the king he is of age with in the name of self-promotion and the family name #alas luke was too normal by way of having his own title so he had to die #and larys is both the same and a foil because he makes his name through violence - torture - but kills his family #but i suppose if the harrenhal curse can’t get you the normal way the cannibalism of your own line is as good a way as any #larys strong #also i’m not saying that ali and rhaenyra had no hand in it cuz like. it’s the princess and the queen bits in the name #though i guess if this is anything someone else has probably said it better. oh well

Forgot about this quiz, just re-took it. very cringe but also such a banger, makes me wanna make more of these (or revisit my worm-on-string) one.

Having recalled its lesbian visibility week. If you wish to support a lesbian artist you can always buy the music, if you feel like it. The lesbianism comes up, at least a bit. Here’s my bandcamp if you like: https://sealapocalyptic.bandcamp.com

My most recent album is even about love! So it’s relevant? No pressure on this to be honest, but it does mean a great deal to me when people like my music so much that they spend money on it (it is, in fact, genuinely insane to me and I love you every person who has even listened to my songs let alone Spent Money On Them)

#sealapocalyptic says music related words #seal's apocalyptic rambles #lesbian visibility week #I guess #more self promotion then that and my head will explode #but I am #technically trying I guess lol

a quite simple outfit, trying to use the little blue and white apron thing (which is actually a dress I think, that I just leave un-buttoned in the back and added an apron-like tie to lol)

#self #mori kei #jfashion #NOT really but like.. it's.. adjacent I guess.. forgive me .. I may try using tags again though I kind of got out of the habit ghhj #I need to be... Seen to some degree. I want to start selling clothes and sculptures again to recoup the costs of having to euthanize my cat #and stuff . but that won't be very successful if I have like.. 15 people to sell to lol... #the eternal Hermit Conflict where you hate attention and Being Percieved in general yet in todays capitalist society it is nearly #a necessity to have some form of social network or media presence especially in creative fields. etc. etc. ... kicking screaming wailing #sobbing so on and so forth.. tearfully punching the cold mossy stone walls of my evil wizard tower... #I was also thinking of maybe opening a few sculpture commission slots and maybe Tumblr Blazing that post or something #but.. again.... sobbing crying interacting with the general public oughhf ouuch -500 HP #why can't I just be approached by some wealthy 65 year old woman who is nonsensically infatuated with my art for no #reason and gives me like $10.000 a week for food and art supplies and etc. and I can go fuck off into a cabin in the middle of nowhere #in the uk and just be left alone to work on my projects without even needing to build any form of connections or social presence because I' #already set for life and can just get funding and connections whenever lol.. WHICH not to be ungrateful like obviously I still appreciate #anyone who follows and interacts with my posts. I dont mean it in a 'grrr fuck all of you imbeciles I wish I could delete my blog!!!' or #whatever hhjkjk.. I just mean it more in a like.. I am very socially inept and my mental illness gives me severe social issues so any situ #tion where I'm expected to self promote or network or interact with others generally is nightmarish and stressful for many many reasons #and if I could somehow skip that part and just go straight to being a famous author or somethin.. that would be cool. Which I know EVERYONE #hates networking and stuff but I mean like.. on a level most people could not possibly comprehend.. I am not just an 'introvert'. I am like #doctors declare me incapable of functioning in general society very poor mental health prognosis probably should have a caretaker at #some point type Hermit lol.. ANYWAY ghbhj... alas.. I also feel weird about the sculptures in terms of what to charge for them #and always have which is part of why I stopped selling them. If I charged a fair even like $15 an hour many of them would be like #close to $150+. and nobody is going to pay that for a decoration. that doesn't even factor in like.. supplies or time spent communicating/s #etching the concept (if a commission) etc. etc. I thought it'd be better to just auction them then and let people pay what they want inst #d of a set price but etsy doesnt allow auctions and is it weird to just.. link people to an Art Ebay or something lol.. #AAAANYWAY.. the outfit.. I still love these shoes. they're nice and a little Older Style looking. always into pastel florals too lol #(everything is thrifted as usual. excited about the shirt because it's so puffy! it was in the halloween section though ghjhj.. like when i #s october and they make the special aisle in goodwill for 'Costume' clothes even though theyre all just normal stuff I would wear ghg)

[ettawritesnstudies]

long story short: My short stories aren't selling as consistently as I hoped they would, and with publishing and wedding costs on the horizon, I'm hoping memberships will be a more effective way of making income, so I'm curious to see what people are most interested in seeing!

Tagging @abalonetea because I know you do patreon and that's similar so I'm curious to see what's worked for you in the past?

#etta rambles #other people's writing #writeblr #to be clear I have a day job so I can make my rent and regular expenses and bills #but unless my writing starts paying for itself I might not be able to publish runaways next year #or I run a successful kickstarter #I work so hard on my blog and youtube and everything and try to give so much to community and it's not paying off like I hoped it would #but I don't have any more time left to give #so I've got to get more annoying about self promotion I guess #etta grumbles about running a business in the tags

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Oh man. I could never pick just five, tbh. Here’s some that I reread frequently though, sorted by fandom rather than ranking.

Arcane:

A Helping Hand (30/? chapters posted, silco/f!reader; occasionally smutty/explicit, but mostly heavy on the tension/slow burn) Duh! Of course I rec my longest but still unfinished multichap! A story of recovery and personal growth mixed in with some weird bdsm kink stuff? Come on, it's fun! And its reverse POVs! Can be found both here on tumblr and over on AO3.

Dead by Daylight:

Unwilling Survivor (33/? chapters posted, legion/f!OC; rated M for graphic violence, mentions of suicide, sexual themes; enemies to enemies to enemies to lovers) I fucking love my OC Sam, okay?? I love her so dearly, and this was her first debut in this universe, one which I have since written her in a LOT through RP and projects with friends. Some of my favorite writing is Sam stuff, I love my suicidal final girl and the untapped rage in her, she's fantastic. Please read this.

Oxenfree:

So It Goes (21/21 chapters, complete and posted, Jonas/Alex; rated M for themes, but no graphic content; time loop angst and warning for stepcest) Possibly the only multichap I've ever completed, thanks to Hammie as a cowriter. Loved writing Jonas for this one, with his intense guilt and strong sense of responsibility, and the delicious angst the canon setting brings. Also had so much fun making mood boards for every single chapter. Hop on over to AO3.

Holy Spirits (25/? chapters posted, Jonas/Alex bi4bi m/f alternate future fic that is so far from the source material it's practically contemporary romcom; rated M for sexual themes and some violence; annoyance to friends to Complicated) I love love love everything I ever wrote with my friend Hammie for Oxenfree, and this is no exception. So much fun to write Alex, especially with the amazingly silly banter these two get up to, highly recommend. It's over on AO3.

Original Works?:

Okay so technically this is an AU of Holy Spirits, lmao, but if you like one you'll hopefully enjoy the other! Lucky In Love (36/? chapters and still occasionally updating; bi4bi m/f reality tv romance (cameraman/contestant); rated M for sexual content; another annoyances to friends to lovers story, because that shit is my drug) Basically the same backstory as Holy Spirits, and even steals some of the OCs from that story, but instead Alex is a contestant on a dating show and Jonas is a cameraman who's growing a conscience. If you like reality tv drama of the 2010s era, this has it. Over on AO3.

I kinda wish buggy arc went similar to Mike wazowski from monster university

YES IT IS NOT A JOKE THIS MOVIE HAS A REALLY NICE MESSAGE FR

oh, like, you don’t need to look and act like a stereotypical perfect monster (scary, strong, etc) or follow the traditional path (a college degree) to achieve your dreams? please forgive me if i’ve misremembered, i think the last time i saw that movie was in theaters. sub in pirate for monster… yeah, i totally see what you mean.

and teen buggy is in a great position to go through that kind of arc, actually. like, if instead of giving up on his dreams, if he’d just been vulnerable for a minute, the conversation with shanks could’ve gone something like: hey, we each have our own strengths. i can’t accomplish my dreams alone, and neither can you… but if we work together we can do things that we couldn’t do individually!

now, it probably isn’t easy. there are probably setbacks. the marines probably ignore their insistence that they’re co-captains, co-emperors, co-pirate kings. but they both know how things really stand, and as it turns out, that’s good enough for buggy.

#asked and answered #one piece #buggy #shanks #*abandoned dreams #as i was writing this post i started to get more of an usopp vibe off the concept… it’s the self-loathing self-promoter of it all #(boy i really gotta write me a buggy-usopp comparison post one of these days. there’s so much there.) #anyway then i remembered the big sanuso line. the ‘you’ll do what i can’t/i’ll do what you can’t’ one? and that is 100% this concept #by which i guess i mean somebody should write a monsters inc au for sanuso??

things that make you go hmmm.

#this scene should have been with matthew parker but i mean. im glad it was included somehow #but the personality change from s2 to s3 is...something. it means that when she returns for the finale that what she says #does not even sound like her or line up with what was (re)established of her character in s3 #umm but yeah i would not tell my husband's mistress to take care of him if anything happened to me like. lol. what #i would be like if i die? kill yourself <3 #they really just made her Selfless and Nice . no other qualities or flaws except i guess being self-abasing...? #and like no i don't watch television to find characters i can 'relate' to that's just an observation #but really it narratively makes no sense is my bigger issue with it #what has henry done for her to have earned that sort of selfless devotion . literally nothing #given her a puppy? looked at her and smiled while she was washing her hair? #whereas with her predecessors at least you get their sense of bond #in s1 henry is favouring the alliance catherine wants they have the bond over their daughter and there's the sense of their shared past #and joys at least... #for anne they have fought for so long to be married and the bond of their child again and religion #hirst was a menace. i hate this show fr sometimes #i mean i guess. henry promoted her family as he did her predecessor's #but it still doesn't feel earned bcus despite that there's so little regard for them? #she finds out her father died and that she can't even go to the funeral. so . like . again...... #the tudors
