#Ash's ramblings #you ever just take a look at yourself and it's like #it kinda looks like 85% of my problems lead back to my complete lack of a sense of self worth #and you go well maybe you really could use some therapy. but also it's 4.30pm on a thursday #and it's the end of term and you really have to finish that presentation and study for that exam and complete these 3 essays #and start on the other essays and hope the writing test tomorrow will go well and what about the speaking exam on Monday #that is online but the presentation is on site and there's only half an hour between and that's not enough time to get to uni actually #and. all the other things that take priority #and also therapy is kinda expensive and you already don't have hobbies bc you can't afford any classes and without classes you won't stick #to anything so can you afford therapy. and if you can wouldn't it be more fun to do sth else instead #but you kinda can't anyway but. maybe. Idk. but therapy also costs time and you don't have that either #and also you're not that bad off anyway so wouldn't it kinda be overkill. kinda embarrassing to go. you're functioning and all #havent considered drastic measures in quite a while. and what if you really ARE just stupid so your sense of self worth is in fact accurate #and therapy can't actually make you like. smart or talented or whatever so. wouldn't it just be a waste of time. #and then you look back at your laptop and realise you should be studying instead of mildly spiralling on tumblr so you get back to that #and try to focus #ily all feel free to ignore me I'm just stressed #Tag ramblings #suicide mention #Like. Very mild and not directly and all but idk just in case?? Idk what counts as triggering for whom so #it's like. idly thinking about why I practically never invite ppl to my flat. oh it's bc I'm embarrassed of the way I live and #scared it won't be good enough for others #why am I so immediately forgiving and willing to acceot things that hurt me. oh it's bc if I don't ppl won't have a reason to stick around #why do I get so quietly intensely jealous when ppl do cool things and have good things happen to them. oh it's bc it makes me think #that they'll realise how very much I don't fit into that cool life they're living and I can't keep up and I'm boring and the opposite of #anything they want in their life #I do realise this is. like. a problem. #it does not make me a better friend or partner or whatever if I'm constantly occupied with negative feelings about myself that #are no one else's problems and I shouldn't make it so. so I do not but it's still there and I can't make it go away #and I'm sure it's obvious sometimes that there's SOMETHING and that's. you know. Idk where I'm going with this.

i’m suffering from too many things disease. theres too much stuff i want to do or read or watch right now but i can only do so much at once

#currently being consumed by 3 shows and physically restraining myself from starting another #well that’s a lie i did start it. i watched all of season one one weekend. but i’ve restrained myself from going further #i have like 100 episodes left in one. and maybe 40 in another? the other one is still ongoing and not on hiatus #the new show is really long though and im just staring at it #also have two shows i’ve been wanting to rewatch #and then there’s the visceral need for a cosmere reread #another series that i need to reread before i read the final book that’s coming out in like a week #plus a series im halfway through that i got burnt out of but have been thinking about recently #to be fair i was reading a book a day and they’re like 600/700 pages #and then there’s the projects. god the projects. so many projects #and i can’t forget about my need to speedrun my class which takes up more of my thoughts than i’d like to admit #anyway yeah i’m suffering #but in a good way. kinda. #i read 200k words today. that was my version of being productive #and then finished some seasons i was halfway through #and brainstormed and started my tragedy piece #i’ll probably finish it later tonight and edit tomorrow #also definitely need to do my annual hobbit/lotr rewatch soon. i reread it this summer but i normally watch the movies in december

So it’s officially the end of summer and I go back to school technically tomorrow….damn. Everything feels very surreal.

And my timetable sucks

#I know summer ended a while ago but I guess I consider my whole break summer #so school starts tomorrow but I’m going back on thursday #also my timetable doesn’t completely suck I guess I’m being dramatic #I have 3 lessons per day I guess I just dislike how my lessons are spread compared to last year #for some reason they feel really clumped together if that makes sense #I can’t believe this will be my last year in mandatory education #on the one hand I’m really happy and can’t wait to start a new chapter #but on the other hand I’m going to miss doing classes #or messaging a friend asking help for chemistry hwk #and I’m going to miss like being in close proximity with my friends #I have 10 hours of classes a week with one of my best friends #and after this year it will stop #it is so crazy #I’m really excited and anxious for this upcoming year #I hope a2 is bearable #and maybe even nice to some extent #but I guess I have some good stuff to look forward to this year #gatherbabblesaboutnonsensicalstuff #gatherstudies #g/alevels #gathersalevels #studyblr

Final part of the final exam in Danish is in the morning and I feel nauseated. I did fine (great even!) on reading comprehension and writing a few weeks ago, but something about oral presentations make me physically ill. Please send good vibes 🙏

I've always thought your style of writing is really different from what I think of as "standard" fanfic prose (in a really cool way, to be clear)- so I guess my question is how would you describe your writing style and what do you like about it?

Thank you very much! ^w^

In terms of cadence and syntax and such, I've been told that it's poetic a fair amount of times, so I'll just nod along with that because fun word combos make my brain go brrr and I've gathered that's some of what poetry is about :D

In terms of overarching structure though, I consider my style largely modeled after the CR transcripts, but the dialogue's then fluffed between with narration and blank space to describe things like facial expressions, tone, character thoughts/emotions, and pauses of time dilation that the transcripts don't always capture!

So I guess 'transcript-esque narrative poetry' is the closest approximation of how I would describe it xD

Sticking the rest under the cut since stuff got long :3

I really like that by adding lots of space, I can put to the page how the duration of events in my fics feels to me, and I hope that sort of a feeling is conveyed when reading, though I've heard big spacing might be annoying to read since it's ''''nothing'''' xD but what's the use of me (me, Chanse, in my writing specifically) writing/posting in an online medium (AO3) if I don't take advantage of the medium's scrolling capabilities and use them for my own storytelling purposes? A rest is as just much of a part of a song as a played note is! :3

I also like the fun transcript -> fic conversions I've built up, and some small- and large-scale examples:

small-

I generally don't use dialogue tags like ["I don't know what to say here," they mumble, shuffling from foot to foot.] because that reads so much more like prose, rather than transcript dialogue, and my punctuation in general originally stemmed from the transcripts.

Like when someone is cut off, they get a double hyphen:

MATT "I'm afraid you're sneezing mid-sentence. "I'm not catching the final--" TRAVIS: (loudly) The Balleater. - C2 Ep 97

but formatted a little more prose-y like so:

“Verin--” “No, don’t argue with me about it. My mind is set.” - So Brother, Walk with Me

large-

In the transcripts, scene description of brand new locations tends to come in big ol' word picture chunks before giving way to a bulk of RP or battle action, so we get stuff like Matt's description of Mythburrow in Ep 74 that I try matching with things like the intro to Like a Diamond to the Rough (albeit a little more spaced out so it's easier to read).

Matt often describes settings like characters too (with purpose beyond being a backdrop), and with a variety of senses when applicable, so that's also something I like and try to keep in mind as well :3

Thank you for the question! ^w^

got a question? send me an ask!

#or maybe ts is a verse novel?? but i don't write verses... idk i'm surfing though wikipedia right now trying to piece this together xD #and also i'm discarding conscious meters idk where those go #it's been a whileee since i've had any sort of formal classes #or done any in-depth structural analysis of fiction so idr what's considered 'standard' in any regard and am probably #just reinventing the wheel in my bumbling #but also i have not been reading lots of standardly formatted prose fiction as of late to compare anyway #and i'm not trying to do anything revolutionary other than keep myself occupied for as long as i can #ignorance thus far has indeed been bliss xD #also i guess today really was an ask word day- what a meander #here's hoping tomorrow is for fics >:3 #talesofsymphoniac #chanswers
