oh no... it's that super-niche three-way crossover fanfic I self-indulgently wrote ten years ago (and never shared) coming back to rent space in my brain again... D:

I know I'm a little late to the party, but can I just say?

Masterful.

The song alone is insane, but the details you added here—the inclusion of horses, the facial expressions, the fluid water transformations, the disorientation of Odysseus being thrown around, the freaking baby drop, the fleet crying out while hopelessly trying to save each other—phenomenal. These added a whole new dimension to this song for me, and made the devastation and power gap between Odysseus and Poseidon hit that much harder.

Thank you.

The horse... is here.... finally....!

guys you don't understand, this song (especially with context) has taken over my brain heeelpppp—

this entire freaking album is just hecking amazing, but this. Song. Guy ticked off Poseidon, both sides are morally grey, and this confrontation is the most powerful and emotionally-charged curb stomp I've ever witnessed in a piece of media.

The anger. The power. The nuance. The callbacks. The fact that you can visualize the carnage. The emotional damage.

I just. I can't. You guys. This. [emotional keysmash] Narratively, lyrically, musically, production quality, everything, this song is a masterpiece among an album of masterpieces.

oh and here's an animatic that makes it hit even harder.

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

Warning: Blood

Oops..

Hyrule is used to seeing wounds and blood but panics 1000 times more when he sees his own blood.

Noo! Not the burrito filling!! D:

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

I just got Pico-8 and have been devouring tutorials and the like. Today as I was looking through guides, I came across this absolute gem:

Motivation Debugging

The motivation "errors" listed here could easily apply to any creative endeavor. So if you're struggling with motivation for any creative project, give this list a gander. It might just help. :)

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together
