"what do you even know of godhood? in your lifetimes, has anyone ever worshipped you? ever prayed to you? can you even imagine that kind of love?"

maybe we'll try again next time.

#pikart #projmoon #(LONG TAGS..) i talk a lot about that latter part of poems of a machine but the first chorus never fails to break my heart too #i can never remember what ive talked about and what i havent so ill do it again anyway. #specifically the line 'so here i lie; reading you my poetic stupid rhymes.' especially in conjunction with the very first lyric. #all this built up... mess and madness; concepts of impossible scope and importance for just a few words. #its the desire to express a truth outside of your reach. to tentatively try to identify; to speak; and only managing so much. #clumsy; basic; small; but it still holds a piece of your heart anyway. its not enough; but its real; its tangible; and thus important. #am i making sense? its the first steps into writing poetry / into self expression / into self acceptance / into healing and growing. #and the implication these words are being shared; despite all of this; despite all of Her. augh. #i really do think a lot about th stark difference btwn her Knowledge and her Experience. how she feels she Should function vs how she Does. #knowing how something should be vs how it Is. yknow. #anyway Oops ! Lyric Rambling In The Tags Again ! <33

The great thing about being in charge of our own book design stuff is that we can, in fact, decide to go through a ridiculous amount of effort to create custom headers for every chapter.

We've gotten about two thirds of the way through Shadow Herald's headers right now. Downside; every time a chapter takes place in a new location, we have to draw that location. Upside; every time we draw a location, we can reuse it later. My gods do the shop interiors take forever.

#book design #writeblr #writing community #booklr #indie books #look we finished Charlan's shop today and it is very charming but it took us two days to do #only locations left in this book are the World's Wound and the interior of Silamir's temple #i think we're gonna . . . cheat a little for camp Veldin and either just reuse the (six different seasonal) forest BGs for full mileage #maybe add an overlay layer with a couple tents to make it Specifically Camp Veldin as opposed to just any ol' part of the woods #we will have to. draw the inside. of the Matrius' palace. and also the royal registry. #but i think the registry will not be too bad probably? #the question is simply where is it fine to cop out a little and where do we decide to doodle every object in a story despite knowing that #we will need to slap an unfocus blur + dents filter on anyway #it's necessary #because that is what ensures that the bgs are JUST bg and not making it hard to make out the PoV characters #o shit and we have to get Crislie a “:(” expression #Navaeli has a “:)” and a “:(” expression #Mep only has “>:(” because he is Mep and that is usually how he looks but i think he will get a “:(” too

currently obsessing over the fact that pyrare just gets consistently bullied by the other caretakers cus hes a giant SDFSDFDSFSD

#brittcorruption #pink corruption #jsab #tpc #theyre so mean to him i swear #its genuinely rly funny tho #why is bro a tent and a fucking christmas treE #granted pyrare is prob either offering to do these things bc funny or is just relatively chill with it canonically #but its funnier to imagine the caretakers are just like “Hey ur big so u gotta be like a tree or a tent or smth” #BUT LIKE LOOK AT HIS EXPRESSION ON THE FIRST ONE THO SDFSDFSDF

You don't have to answer this I'm just gonna bitch in your inbox about the x reader post you made because I felt this in my bones.

Like you really can't go in the tag for quality stuff lately. Everything is about sex. I'm not a prude. I read occasionally stuff, but omg, not everything has to be like this. Sometimes stories begin hopeful, but they end the same way. I'm just sick of it because it's all there is. And because it's so oversaturated, "normal" fics don't stand a chance because people don't click on that anymore. So yeah, as a creator, if I wanna get attention for my work, of course, I will produce stuff that people will read.

Also what you said about minors, how are they supposed to interact with fics if everything is porn.

In general, people are sooo fixated on "spicy" content. On tiktok, all people read is smut, or they can't handle other stuff. Literally, smut destroyed their brains. How is it any different than guys having a porn addiction?

Also, the tumblr tagging and searching functions are shit. I wanna find new fics from like 2020 or 2021 (before s4 bc I miss those vibes). When you go to the popular tag thing, the earliest you get is 2022. Like tumblr needs to fix that, so content from years ago can still be found. People also need to start tagging accordingly. It's such a pain.

Again sorry for the rant.

HOHOHOHOHO NO APOLOGIES NEEDED NONNIE i love having a bitch and being on my hater shit and i think more people than you might think agree with all of this + its a whole buncha opinions under the cut u have been warned

to some degree to decrease in quality fics will be due to the lull between seasons which always happens- some of the fantastic writers move onto other obsessions for the mean time and truly, i can't fault them for that.

but yet somehow i know it's more than just that - a smut piece will get more attention and notes regardless of the quality of the fic. it's so tough to complain about cos like sigh its all free writing produced by someone so to moan and bitch about stuff getting more attention than others is like. not very nice and being hypercritical but also

not everyone wants to read smut!! and its fuckin everywhere!! wouldn't it be darling if there could simply be a tag that was smut free but noooooo every post gets tagged with as many fuckin things as possible for 'reach' which is the stupidest fucking thing i've ever heard before

and ur absolutely right, because of it fics with no smut get drowned before they get a chance to get noticed. and sorry to say it, but its very rarely that i've read a fluff piece and been like ah, that seemed like it was just thrown together like no its always crafted to some degree- but i cannot say the same for smut in the least. again, often u can mentally sub in different characters and the fic still works which to me = bad writing (if its a steve fic i shouldn't be able to slot in eddie and have it work? ok cos then its not a STEVE fic its just a porn fantasy which is like fine but GOD this is a whole nother can of worms but if u just write smut and then cycle thru joe keery characters its like half a step from writing rpf cos its obvious u just think he's a hot guy and not so much into his characters 😭 maybe im being autistic levels of protective over my lil guy but i also think im right lmao)

and ough trying to write for an audience is so hard, its a vicious cycle of: wants to produce content ppl will read and interact with -> doesn't enjoy writing it as much -> writing isn't as good as u know it could be -> if it flops for whatever reason u feel like asshole. anon babey please dear god write the ideas you want to <3 i can promise you they will be 100x better than trying to cater to an invisible audience ! ppl follow you for your writing !!! and feel free to tag me!!!! i always want to read good steve x reader fics!!! (i just can't be assed hunting them down half the time)

the minors thing is just. god its - i remember hearing the phrase 'virgins write the best smut' and it was when i was 14 and now im like god don't say that they write like porn cos they have fuck all idea what they're talking about. i read so much fanfic when i was 12 years old and what u said is so true, it just used to sneak up in stories and ruin things. its the internet tho so its impossible to truly moderate

omg ur tiktok comment so fucking true babe. when smut is prioritized over plot, u can tell and so many of the booktok rec's they have are just that. there are ways to write smut and have it still be a story. there's also ways to write pwp and still craft it and yet, u dont see that often. also what happened to being excited when two bitches hold HANDS??? AND KISS FOR THE FIRST TIME?? it's appalling the way they thirst for that content but write their captions like "and they have s3x!!! and f@&k in the bathroom hehehe" like what. its such sanitized and shit content honestly

god ur so right i hadn't even thought about hunting down old fics - and it would make such a difference if you could do that because otherwise SO much weighs on when u post it and if it shows in tags and yada yada

this is so much omg u don't have to read all that but genuinely the reason i started writing more steddie and less x reader is the difference in reception and general support. i dont feel like i'm competing against my mutuals, but more like we're here to just hoot and hollar at each other and unless u have a tight knit group of friends on here, u don't get that on x reader fics ://

#so many thoughts #im so sorry #no one except that anon read this LMAO #im worried it never goes too well if you express too strong of an opinion on the internet #tentative #delete later #ruby talks #asks #anon #tw opinion #HAHAHA THATS A TAG #yah ill use that

i have so little faith in everyone.... do the flight of doves, the city of tents beneath the underpass, the huddled mass, old women hawking roses, and children all of them mean nothing to you. does there's a dream i have in which i love the world mean nothing to you . does like you i was born like you i was raised in the institution of dreaming mean nothing to you!!! DOES HAND ON MY HEART. HAND ON MY STUPID HEART MEAN NOTHING.....

#I AM SO....THIS IS DEVASTATING #I WAKE UP & IT BREAKS MY HEART. THE THRILL OF RAIN .

several months ago I put together this wheatley gijinka for fun (read: because I wanted to make him and glados have domestic quarrels)

and then I blinked and October was almost over

anyway these are old but I still like them

#I like how wheatley’s handlebars are articulated in the middle for expressive purposes #and this maps really well onto eyebrows and mustaches #which are also articulated in the middle for expressive purposes #(actually DRAWING that point of articulation is rough though. I’m lazy and shapes are hard.) #spewpurr posts #spewpurr doodles #tentative portal tag #tentative wheatley tag #human!wheatley #tentative chell tag

[goldeneko]

still thinking about them making the point that wrathion’s chest hurt when watching the love of several pairs at the wedding and also when thinking about anduin. and then saying the feeling was homesickness 

#like what am i supposed to read into that #any yearners in the chat #wranduin #tentatively tagging that bc i cannot even express how my expectations are for that meaning anything #but i'm still have a good time ! #warcraft

[biathelstan]

the sam and dean bitch/jerk friendship bracelets are so good actually because those two have such a teenage girl friendship

#the melodramatic cycle of ironclad devotion and destructive breakups #and in my experience. being so tentative to express how much you care about the other person but when you do it comes out so earnest #and you’ll never talk about those moments. but they happened and it hangs in the air even when you’re drifting apart again #also calling each other bitch and jerk like a call and response LMAO

[highwaydiamonds]

#art journal #journaling #been trying to get myself to get back to something expressive/creative #i am not talented or satisfied but i also don't really have space right now to attempt to do ll that much #i'd like to do more with paint and gesso but right now it's just not much of an option since i lack the space to get messier with stuff #i've done backgrounds for other spreads with inks and stuff - which i like but idk - it's hard making when my results are clumsy & messy #and not messy in the good way - just in a clunky ham-fisted way #but i still love the quote #a thing i made #tentative steps back to who knows where

Ask: Oh, sorry! I meant timeline for in-universe for dragon herders! Like is Smaug just missing for 60 years or something?

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Of course you did. I’m sorry for being DUMB! 🤪Okay YEAH! Let’s talk Dragon Herders.😂

So this is an entirely new timeline! No dragon/goldsickness either. Erebor did at one point decide to try to reclaim Khazad-dum which keeps Thror, Thrain, and Frerin’s deaths canon, and Thorin’s rise to kingship (kinghood?) linear to the original timeline. 

But the time between Smaug leaving the Shire to Bilbo going on a quest to find him is all within the span of a few months. The quest itself takes a little bit of time considering he doesn’t exactly know where to start, but then he runs into these very upset and displaced dwarves and its like ‘😬 my bad’ for Bilbo. 

#submission #sunny answers stuff #the hobbit #bagginshield #hobbits are dragon herders #think that scene with thranduil in the tent before bilbo hands over the arkenstone #and that's bilbo's default expression through most of this fic
