Yay we made it through 2023!

The end of Dec always feels hard to me; generally, I just want it to be over with so I can start with a new year. But I do want to take a moment to acknowledge the good things this year brought me.

When starting 2023, I'd felt creatively dead and emotionally empty for a good 3 years (lot of bad stuff happened). I was surprised when this silly Tiktok meme of a guy in a car with Nic Cage kept popping up and making me smile. My wife told me 'Hey, you should watch that movie, it's fun and that actor is great'. After a deep dive into Pedro's filmography (Joel really sealed the deal for me, my god) and getting sucked into this fandom with Met Gala, I eventually ended up here on Tumblr. And damn, has it been a wild ride, these past five months.

I'm so grateful for all the people I've gotten to know here, friendships that developed, the absurd amount of fic I've read, but perhaps most of all how a combination of those three things led me to write 'for fun' again for the first time in many years. Academia, medical leave, and life shit basically had stomped that completely out of my system - not to mention wrecked any confidence I had about my skills and most of my self esteem. So goddamn, it sure as hell was a surprise to suddenly find myself with all these fic ideas and then actually following through with them, thanks to everybody's support!

Over the past months, I posted Pt 1 of 'Nothing That I Didn't Know' (Frankie x Santi x reader) and I'm currently working on pt 2, which hopefully will be ready some time in the next week. I also put up snippets of a Rockford/Peña WIP that ended up becoming a much bigger storyline than I expected, and I'm really excited to start putting out proper chapters in probably Feb/March!

It's the first time that I have a group of friends (who are also writers) around me who have been so encouraging, who help me brainstorm and prod at new ideas, review my writing and give me advice, and overall just make this whole process of creation something that is fun and exciting. Especially @legendary-pink-dot, @sin-djarin, @imalrightllama, @magpiepills and @morallyinept! I can't even express in words how much your friendship and support means to me, not to mention how you're constantly helping me to become better at writing down what I want to convey - either directly through your advice, or leading by example with your own work. 💜

But even beyond the people named above, there are SO many of you for whose friendship I'm so grateful, or who I simply am so excited about to be mutuals with, or whose writing has just affected me in so many ways! I'm always worried about leaving out people by accident when I start tagging, so please, if you read this: I am grateful for knowing you and hanging out here with you here (or on Discord)! MWAH.

#i love my friends #i love those two as well your honor #writing is life

if the eye is the window to the soul, then writing is the thought of the soul. When i read a book i can feel the author's mind inside it, like a living person trapped in the pages, moving through the words. i want to trap myself in a story. i want to lay down my worries and hopes for someone else to see.

Sometimes I look at my writing and think …yeah this is not going to cut it and then proceed to delete it all. 4K words and I still don’t like it. Maybe I need to redo it. Like all my fics 🤣. Ksbbb troubles

I finally was able to finish the part 6 of my Big Fan serie.

I want to keep up and update but I just am so overworked with work in general.

When I have free time. I sleep...or try to see friends or have to do all that stupid adult stuff 🙄

But writing is such a bottle of joy for me. I get lost in the words and I can't stop my fingers to type and I love it. I love to create my little worlds and put them on the paper.

My dream to be a writer is sooooo intense these days. So I'll stay focus on the dream and keep writing

I feel like a fake sometimes as a writer/author because of how I "organize" my work. Simply using ColorNotes app instead of carrying a notebook everywhere with me.

Well, I'm here to boink my head and anyone else's that feels this way. The process for everyone is different and unique to them.

Go be your weird little goblin self and write.

I'm a fan nerd who loves to write about the de Vil family.

I'm currently working on a very in depth family tree and registry for a fanfiction I wrote a grand many years ago. I've created this blog to hopefully maintain some semblance of order and also keep me accountable for my progress. And if I get to record my rants, that's just bonus points. I thrive on plotting, so please if you desire a chaotic ball of energy to plot at or with, look no further. But seriously this blog will literally be all my de Vil random thoughts and probably my head-canon garbage and rambles. That being said, I'm going to almost exclusively focus on this stuff and plotting, and maybe do some actual prompt writings or share random scribbles of plot for my stories here.

So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say.

Faith of the Grim (Formerly; A Grim Awakening)

"Faith of the Grim" has been a stand-alone story idea that's been with me for over ten years, since 2012, but it took some time to take shape and form in my mind.

Krysis is a grim reaper. Her entire existence is spent collecting the souls of the recently departed, and herding them along to whichever afterlife they spent their lives believing in the most strongly.

The downside to meing a reaper is that she never gets to experiance the next life herself. She, and all other reapers, are eternal, and Krysis is bored of eternity.

That is until she goes to collect a soul, and discovers a human on the cusp of becoming a minor deity. A paramedic, his medical efforts combined with his budding powers snatches the soul Krysis is there to collect from her grasp, and brings his patient back from the edge of death.

Suddenly, eternity doesn't look quite as boring anymore.

Barring no unforseen circumstances, I hope to release "Faith of the Grim" around Autumn 2025.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week
