Idk why it irks me when ppl rewrite Wish without watching it but it does

#I think it's because writing is more than just deciding the plot #y'all haven't actually seen how the film is written to RE write it #You're just writing your own story with the same the premise which is fine #Also I know not every rewrite comes from a place of dislike for the movie but when it does and from ppl who say they haven't seen it ooh 😡#Also I'd love to stop complaining abt this and star boy but when it's all the wish content I see when looking for fan stuff it's kinda hard #Wish #Wish Disney #Wish fandom #Wish movie

I know 'person with secret to hide spots other person with secret to hide but doesn't say anything' is like. Thee trope in superhero crossovers, but come on! Some of these guys have been doing this for decades! There's tons of heroes that have gone to pretty extreme lengths to be Completely Imperceptible in civilian life.

Don't you think it's scarier, after all is said and done, to sit there and think I didn't notice a thing? I wouldn't have ever realised? I would never have known? To know that someone you were familiar with - close with, even! - had this whole other personality and skillset and powers and experiences and life just behind the curtain, and they hid it so completely you didn't even see it was there.

'I always knew there was something off' what if you didn't. How world shaking would it be to be so utterly blindsided? To know that this person had somehow learned to so deceptive?

#Strongly inspired by the dp x dc where Danny knows what up IMMEDIATELY or a bat clocks Danny as super suspicious within mins of meeting #Or the amount of reveal fics caused by the hero slipping up in some stupid way and getting themselves doxxed against their will #Like come on!! Full time heroes like superman or batman or Spidey go to great lengths to construct an entirely separate civilian persona!#And yes I know they've had their idiot moments when it comes to their identities but they've kept their secret rock solid for irl DECADES #What's an identity reveal without drama!! Shake it up! Stir the pot! Not a slow and gradual build up of suspicion and stress #But two high speed trains coming at right-angles and the audience is the only one who can see the incoming crash #Twist the knife in if you want. Make it HURT. Make it completely rewrite what they believed.#Short ID reveals are great for this because you can SEE the ripple effects spreading out as the story ends. Just BANG.#But also no ID reveal at all. The main character goes through the story regularly interacting with and developing character right alongside #A hero in hiding and no one is ever the wiser. You're a worker in WE fending off attempts to steal your inventions and Bruce Wayne #Invites you to his office to discuss security and he walks you back to your office when you get nervous about a break in.#You're struggling with school bullies and getting into trouble over your photography hobby and Peter Parker is right there alongside #You complaining about rich kids and fiddling with the outdated finicky lenses you got from the school.#You're a reporter unpicking a mystery scandal and you ask resident tank Clark Kent if he's able to play bodyguard if you go somewhere shady #The reader knows. No one else notices a thing.#And besides focusing on the civilian side is a nice change of pace! Let's see how they manage leading double lives!#What do I even tag this #batman #superman #Marvel #Dcu #spiderman #secret identity #identity reveal #long tags #captain marvel #miraculous ladybug #I know I know #hero and villain

Every few months my brain conveniently misplaces my band class trauma and lack of skill with rock music to think about making a Dumpty Humpty concept album full of songs loosely connected to DP characters and plot events.

Anyway I dug up old lyrics I wrote for them last night and now I'm hyperfocused.

#Danny Phantom #Anyway if you're good at rock music and want to do something stupid. hmu #nobody gets to see the old lyrics tho. maybe if I rewrite them and make them good. but for now it's a weird feminist anthem??#Sam's fav song clearly #but also it was written for Valerie?? 2014-2016 me I have questions. why did you do this.#currently talking #'band class trauma' is actually a funny story btw feel free to ask about it I tell it super freely #normal people have weird relationship 'this one time at band camp' stories #I have ones that make me come home and tell my dad 'now I know what the kid from home alone felt like!'

me writing things: wow does anyone even care about this. is this engaging in any way. is this not just the most predictable and overdone thing anybody has ever read

me reading anybody's reactions or comments to things i've written: OH i guess i CAN write well?? i guess people like my phrasing??? my characterization??? i'm actually okay at this????

#lucy's thoughts #wow i have a lot of ao3 comments to reply to also #and a lot of wips to finish #0/10 don't recommend a full-time job when you're also trying to organize fandom stuff and participate in zines AND finish your other storie #i'll get there with everything i just need to magically focus and get better at multitasking #keep meaning to write/post the final chapter of the jukebox musical fic anyway #it won't be hard i just have to get the words down #ANYWAY please never assume i've officially abandoned anything even to this day i still think about rewriting/completing things i wrote in #2009 or whenever

tagged by @ialpiriel a bit ago and then I went afk for data-eating reasons but now I’m mostly back, thank you Del for the tag and also for the patience, I love you ♥ ♥

again I’m supposed to post the last line I wrote and tag as many people as there are words in it, but again I’m not doing that! I’m very bad at it, and also I’m laying this story to rest (in my document titled Cold Storage, where all the concepts I can’t make work rest until albion’s need is greatest or I get bored, whichever comes first) and I want this my favorite part to be seen before it goes

"If I'm not lying--" Her mouth twisted wryly and then relaxed. "Yes, I could have. But it wouldn't have been....It would've been worse. When you put a movement on someone like that, without guiding it, they carry it out with speed and force proportional to how much you want it done, and nevermind how much is good and healthy for their bodies. They'll rip all their joints apart and keep going for you. It's... unpleasant."

"Oh." He couldn't help but swallow. Her hands were on her knees, fingers pressing gently at the hollows and curves like she was reminding herself how they fit together. The thought definitely struck him as unpleasant. "Anyway, these were bandits. Bad men to be sure, oathbreakers and thieves, and maybe they'd deserve a nice maiming, but they're still manual laborers at the heart of it. If they lost their joints, they wouldn't recover without care, healing and retraining the limbs, who knows how much time, and they'd never be the same. It'd be their livelihood." "Uh-huh." The priorities on this one. She'd moved her hands from knees to wrists now, checking the attachments at the back of the hand and the base of the thumb and palm. "So what did you do to them instead?" "Oh, pain." She said it so easily. He blinked. "Every nerve I know, which is most of them." "...Right."

She looked at him, her hands finally still again, a smile in her eyes if not on her mouth. "Not wanting to cripple them doesn't mean going soft on them. I'm not out on this road for some scavenger to strike me down as soon as I pass them by. They'll drop where they stand and count themselves lucky they remember how to breathe through it." She sounded so sane. He nodded to her and gave her a hand up, and did not shudder at the feel of her fingers closing around his wrist. As they walked on, he forced his thoughts away from what she'd actually said and focused instead on recovering the confidence he'd lost earlier, when he had found out she was a priestess. He'd never been wrong after all. She was as rogue a mage as any he'd ever been contracted to kill.

tagging: actually the people I’d tag have mostly been tagged already. @agirlnamedhagrid, @goddammitjim, would either of you like to play?

#tagged by #ialpiriel #thank you Del ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥#also looking at this now I have to laugh because actually the very very first idea that eventually became the thing that turned into this #was a DC fic! look at this now and see how much it does not resemble Damian deciding not to kill Kon. wacky #we're so many levels removed from that now that even I can barely see its bones underneath and I'm the one who scaffolded up around them #/wacky/#anyway I feel like I'm cheating (I am objectively doing this wrong. this is not how you're supposed to do this) because it's an old story #but it is also the last thing I wrote because I spent most of today rewriting it in the hopes that it'd spark something new I could keep #but alas into Cold Storage it goes. rip

I think if a tumblr user says anything about history they should include Chicago style citations in the post. This is also true for other areas of study but I don't really know much about those so I only get filled with a blind rage when history posts are wrong. So that's what we need to fix first. For me.

#This is also true of my own posts and it's literally why #I try to only put history stuff in the tags instead of in proper posts #(so if I am wrong misinformation doesn't spread) and when I do I try to cite where I hot my information from #As best I can without doxing myself #Ie most of my information about maritime history comes from my job not classes so I only say 'I work at a history museum'#Not the specific museum I got that information from because that's not safe imo #Otherwise I'll say 'I got this from class' or 'I got this from a research projim working on' or a documentary or a book or etc etc #And if I say something like that you can always send an ask or a dm and I'll give you my sources!#But I don't include that stuff in actual posts because I'm at a weird point in my education #Where I'm technically trusted as a source of information for some people (working at the museum) but I still don't have my bachelors let #Alone the masters so I really don't feel comfortable positioning myself as an expert because I'm certainly not one #Which is why it makes me so frustrated when people who obviously have way less training than me (which is difficult! Like I said I won't #Even finish undergrad until this spring!) position themselves as experts and then just fucking #Lie about a field I care deeply about #Like on top of everything else I'm going into public history so it's about to be my job to clean up your mess. What the hell dude #This isn't about any specific post or person just the general trend of misinformation on this site #There is worse misinformation I know but I also truly believe that know history is necessary to making informed decisions about the present #And when you're mistaken about history or even worse completely rewriting it... That's bad #General rule of thumb if a history 'fact' 100%#Reflects your world view with no issues it's probably propaganda or at least not the whole story. With very few exceptions.#To quote Oscar Wilde 'the truth is rarely pure and never simple'#I made a lot of typos here don't worry about it. You get it.

Last Line Challenge

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like).

I was tagged by the wonderful @rebrandedbard!

This is actually the last line in a chapter for an og story in which a poor guy goes on vacation with his friends only to wake up one morning on the beach transformed into a siren! Of course, he has no memory of how he got there!

"He lunged underneath the railing and dove into the sea."

I shall tag the lovely @lemonadesoda, @thewiltingdaisy, @nerdy-aroace, and @damianwho! As always, no worries if you'd rather not but if you do, I can't wait to see your sentences! :D

#rose and rambles #prosie's writing adventures #tag game #hoo hoo hoo~ wonder what siren boy is running from >:3c #someone who isn't supposed to see the tail has just seen the tail i'll tell u that much #hough actually this was my thesis and ive been rewriting from scratch (still following the previous sequence of events for the most part)#though now we're getting into new stuff #but also the story is getting very thick and im very worried the word count is going to be long but also im enjoying the story and process #a lot more so what can you do?#ANYWAY IF YOU'RE READING THIS I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD NIGHT #just got bug fables because i played a little at friend's place and ive decided #yeah moth guy with mysterious past has piqued my interest i'll keep going

#I'm writing even though I should be working #chapter 26 of Coattails is already over 6k words #also Coattails 5th anniversary is coming up next month!#I took a two year hiatus so it doesn't hit the same but I still want to do something to celebrate #I'm thinking either 1. rewrite a scene from a different character's POV #2. add a scene somewhere in the story #3. add more to a scene that already exists #or 4. share some Coattails fun facts / secrets / ''deleted scenes''#I was going through my google docs and I found the ''original'' chapter two #back when it was a one-shot I wrote for fun #it was called ''A Change in Behavior'' and it's honestly not super different #but I noted a couple changes that are interesting enough to share #anyway stuff like that! so let me know what you think would be fun!#make suggestions for what you might like to see etc.#and reminder that if you're a reader I already love you <3333 #(I'm gonna make a note about this at the end of chapter 26 when it's uploaded to ao3 as well)#a

oh my GOD tell me you don't value comics as a medium without telling me you don't value comics as a medium. Tell me you only like this character and ship him now that he has a hot actor attached to him and that you have no respect for lineart that prioritizes things other than aesthetically appealing character models. Also christ god if you're not even gonna fucking read the damn comics maybe stop putting yourself forward as an expert while writing stuff that the show canon hasn't covered yet that's not even close comics canon and misinterpreting basic characterization with your whole chest. The particular lineartists you're totally writing off are Michael Zulli and Steve Parkhouse, btw

#I'm being mean about someone writing a fic I actually mostly like #but my ambivalence has spilled over I guess #like damn some of us liked the character before he had a hot actor #and also it's just like #people get like this about stuff that gets popular adaptations all the time #ESPECIALLY comics adaptations #there's just this casual contempt for comics as a medium that permeats adaptation fandom spaces #like the story doesn't matter until it's an expensive TV show with sexy actors and high production values #yes this is about sandman #yes this is about someone rapidly on their way to becoming a bnf and arbiter of Correct Fanon Character Interpretations #tbf like they're not a dick or anything but goddamn would it kill you to read the comics?#you're gonna talk with such confidence about stuff that hasn't happened in the show yet #but you're not gonna read the issues you're essentially rewriting?#honestly they seem like a really cool person but the whole show-only fandom attitude around the comics is so casually dismissive ugh #megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace

love how if i think about a lot of the stuff related to maruki p5 for just a SECOND too long i manage to confuse myself so bad it makes my head hurt ASDFGHGFD

#P5Rs just like. 'persona users cant have a palace' and then maruki somehow. has both?????#and then they're like 'he can rewrite reality itself' and im like 'how the fuck did he do that' and then the game just. doesnt explain it.#like akechi asks how he can do so on the scale that he does. and im sitting here like 'how can do this. at all??' because like- unless i #misunderstood something to an extreme. 'persona abilities' dont affect places outside of the metaverse???? i think.#or like- maruki noticed joker ryuji and ann outside the school talking about phantom thief stuff and like- you're telling me only maruki #noticed that? just him? nobody else at all?? yknow when they were in that area right next to a crowded place w/ a lot of students???#like- i can suspend disbelief and get none of the npcs noticing its a video game. but its just weird to me that One Singular Character #noticed them when no one else ever really does like- ????#this isnt even like. the extremely-relevant to the story stuff this is just random shit that confuses me. (the story stuff confuses me even #more though so im not gonna think about it actually. im just gonna let it exist and not think too hard about it too hard or i'll probably #frustrate myself from the amount of confused i get sdfghgfd)#P5R third semester was honestly amazing and i really loved it. ...it also confuses me So Bad at times #okay. enough tag rambles i'll shut up now ASDFGHGF

First Tarragon double release!

I just published both chapter seven and eight of Tarragon on Wattpad! Together, they total up to about ten thousand words, and are two of the best chapters so far (in my objectively correct opinion) Read chapter seven here: https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/360307834/write/1433375034 Alternatively, read chapter one here: https://www.wattpad.com/1413663718-tarragon-chapter-one-the-icehorn-incident

#tarragon #writers on tumblr #writers on wattpad #writing #original story #very long story #like seriously it's gonna take a year or three to finish #I might have to rewrite chapters 1-50 after finishing it because you know standards of writing #but until then this is some of my best work #also all my opinions are objectively correct #I know this because I have 41 reads on a story I wrote which makes me an internet celebrity #therefore all my opinions are fact and you should blindly follow whatever I have to say without giving a second thought to what you're #being told

AO3 Etiquette -UPDATED

Based on both decent and not so decent replies, I have made some changes to my original post below.

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

As well as likes, kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished it, you liked it - so kudos.

If you really liked it, you should try to comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it (so use your notes to say if you want some constructive feedback). Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. No, posting it online is not an open invitation for that. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity and just want to share. Don't ruin that for them. I've seen so many authors just stop writing coz they can't handle the negative emotions the critism brings, and it's only meant to be a fun thing shared for free (pointing out tagging errors is not included in this).

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

The tag exception is if you don't want to tag a million things or spoil your story, you can rate it as "chose not to use warnings," and maybe tag the bare minimum.

Don't censor tags. How can someone exclude a tag if the word isn't typed out correctly? There are no content bans for terms so don't censor them.

If the tags are mostly content/trigger warnings, especially if they are things considered very fucked up or graphic, you might want to use "dead dove - do not eat" to ensure people know that you're not messing around with tags and what they get is exactly what you've warned them about.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLATONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite or an exchange youve written for going public). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Instead of deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - consider making it anonymous or orphaning it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to your name anymore. If you still want to delete it, fair enough.

It's come to my attention that metaworks ARE allowed on AO3, which is something I wasn't aware of. So if you do post an essay or theory, please tag it as such so others can choose to search for it or exclude it. Art is also allowed.

The only reason this archive works is because NON ONE PROFITS. Do not link to your ko-fi or patreon or mention monetary gain in any way or you violate the terms and risk having your account removed. If anyone does link, it leaves the archive open to people claiming it's for profit and having the whole thing removed.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.
