[deception-united]

Here, have some writing tips.

Celebrating 1000 followers! Love you all ❤

Your first version doesn't have to be permanent.

A lot of writers—myself included—may feel a sort of connection or duty to their original story, draft, plot, or characters. But being afraid to change what you already have will only hinder you. My current WIP (which I'm working on with @leisureflame, check out her blog!) has been changed—and I mean completely flipped around—countless times. We started out in a medieval setting with kings and queens and burning witches, and now it's a dystopian novel set in the future in a country they're forbidden to leave. Our main character was originally dark haired, olive skinned, reserved, fierce, independent, and now she's a sunburn-prone ginger with a sanity deficiency. We've scrapped and replaced multiple characters and sacrificed plot elements we loved to attain what is best for this story. It's incredibly sad, but sometimes, it's necessary.

Don't delete your ideas.

Or excerpts. Or character ideas. An idea's occurred to you at three in the morning? In the shower? At work? Write. It. Down. Immediately. The top surface of my bookcase is littered with random notes in smudged pencil that I've jotted down. Referring back to the last point, if you change or scrap a part of your story, keep it somewhere. I like to keep a notes document that I perpetually add the most random things to: out-of-context lines of dialogue, phrases I like, new vocabulary, character descriptions—anything, really. Even if you know you're probably never going to have occasion to use it, take note of it anyway. You never know when a previous idea will be just the element you need in your story. And if not, well, they're fun to read over later.

Free write.

I know I covered this in a recent post, but I'd just like to stress on it again. Open a document or a page in your notebook and just start writing. Whatever comes to mind. Doesn't matter how nonsensical or embarrassing or muddled, as long as you're writing. This exercise can really help regain or maintain your creative flow. You'll end up with some passages that are horrible and that you will never deign to set your eyes upon in the rest of your years, and others you'll cherish. In any case, whether the result is good or atrocious, you'll have written something. It's a good way to combat writer's block, or boredom. I recommend it.

Hope this helps. Thanks for all your support!

Random fucking post bc im. Mad. Gonna try not to say any buckwild shit bc it's not really my place but. Eugh. First of all it feels weird as fuck to see a hing that's is a call-out for like 3 diff ppl working on co-host and someone pointing out "hey the first person here (who is a transfem) is being slandered" (this isn't the weird part bc. Transfems r extra vulnerable to slander n pedojacketing) which includes a screenshot from the Transfem in question saying "the accusations are focusing on my actions when I was being groomed and abused" and respond "PURITY CULTURE!!! WHY ARE PPL SO MAD ABOUT FICTIONAL CHILDREN THIS IS THE PROBLEM WYOUNG LGBTS" like. 1. Why is it about purity culture and not trans misogyny (also not what purity culture fucking is) 2. GROOMING. GROOMING IS WHY! GROOMING IS THE PROBLEM MOTHERFUCKER FICTIONAL STUFF CAN BE USED TO GROOM MINORS (HEY, QUICK ASIDE- YOU CAN EASILY SEPERATE FICTION FROM REALITY. KIDS FUCKING CANT! I KNOW FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING A CHILD EXPOSED TO CSA BEING NORMALIZED/DENIED IN FANFIC).

And let me say again: young transfems are also especially vulnerable bc they often have little to no support system, meaning not only can ppl get them Into those situations with promises of friendship and community, it becomes crazy hard TO GET OUT

Second thought is if any of the cunts who were like "megapope was kinda right honestly" start making hammer car jokes they should delete their fucking accounts

#Transmisogyny TW #Idk #CSA ment #I dont think there are any versions of the original Co-host PSA post on my blog but if I find them I'll delete them #Anyway. I'm going to be honest I didn't realize any of the ppl accused were transfem (idk if it was just the one person or the other two #Tho the post also alleged transphobia/misgendering? Idk) but that doesn't make it better. Im going to make an effort to be more familiar w #The subjects of call outs like that in the future. I thought it was just Abt the site itself but looking back it fuckin wasn't. #Idk I don't trust any social media site inherently but that doesn't excuse spreading false accusations

how and why is there discourse about whether or not certain queer identities exist/if people should be allowed(???) to use them. why is "people know their own identity better than you ever could, and they're the only one who get a say on what they are" such a tough concept to grasp

i think if you find yourself offended by the label someone uses (especially if they're a stranger) or think it invalidates your own, it's a good idea to look inside yourself and question why that may be. more often than not, it's a result of insecurity or uncertainty of your own identity (or many other things, but i won't make a whole list here). whatever reason it is, until you resolve it, you shouldn't take it out on people for having an identity you don't understand

many have said it before but it's worth saying over and over. infighting only helps our oppressors. conservatives don't care if you're a cis gay or a xenogender aegosexual aplatonic lesbian, they hate all of us either way. trying to fit in by going for people who are easier targets for them isn't gonna help you, it'll just alienate you from your own community, and you're never gonna please them. the momentary rush you get from hearing you're not like "one of /those/ gay people" is not worth it and is gonna do more harm in the long run, i assure you

also, it is important to me to say this, but having some less than nice kneejerk reaction caused by confusion about an identity you don't understand doesn't mean you're a bad person or anything. as long as you aren't mean to that person, and you take a second to think smth along the lines of "wait a minute, this isn't any of my business" after having said reaction, you're good 👍 a lot of reflexive reactions we have to things are ingrained into us simply by. well. living in a society 🤡 and you're not terrible for having those thoughts. it's your actions that matter, and your second thought (the "wait, why did i just think that?") is more defining of your actual character and morals than your reflex. i know that having thoughts like this, even tho they're unwanted, can very easily make one spiral, so it's important to me that whoever needs to hear this knows this doesn't make you a bad person 🙏 you're good, keep taking actions to be good, accept other people even if you don't understand them, and you're on the right track :)

#i considered adding that last part in the tags but i figured it'll be too long for that 😭 #i noticed i'm posting a lot of rants lately. sorry. but i do wanna make sure no one's actually feeling bad over them #if i complain about something that you do or call it mean and such. that doesn't make you a bad person #you can always work to change and grow 👍 it's not easy but it starts with smaller steps than you'd expect #and now i just switched to a whole other topic from my original point. oops #i do firmly believe that any discourse about someone's identity is dumb as fuck #seeing it in poll blogs always makes me 😐😬 like how is it any business for any of us. why is this up for debate #if a person says they're queer then they are. they don't need to pass some test or go through initiation to be accepted #if they feel comfortable with a certain word that's awesome. why does it matter to *you* which word they use #'they're only using this microlabel to feel special' so? is there anything wrong with that? #'this label contradicts [insert other identity that falls under the same umbrella]' ok. but does that hurt anyone in any way #a lot of identities can even be self contradictory. does it matter tho? does it affect anyone in any way? #'they might realize that label is wrong later' again. what's the harm in that. #i don't blame anyone for these thoughts bc like. this is how cishets view a lot of the even more common labels #so you're basically taught to think this way from day one. that doesn't mean you need to stick to that thought process #you might have these reflexes forever no matter how hard you try. but you'll get quicker about moving on from them #but you do have to try. you do have to realize that other people's identities aren't about you #anyway. this post feels like batting at a hornets nest. really hope i don't get some bad faith readers here lol #(i noticed a lot of places one could apply bad faith but like it's 3:30 am i'm too tired to add this many disclaimer. #so i'm gonna trust you to not jump to conclusions and to approach this in good faith okay? mwah 🖤) #also my whole ramble abt morality (in the tags too) is relevant to. any topic really #i may just make a separate post about it really. .....tomorrow tho.

ok this is gonna sound wild. BUT. Me and my buddy @honeycomb-ferret are attempting to start up a clangen universe vaguely based on cults and evangelical religion, each clan being a different denomination of sorts. Very religious trauma/how growing up under different religions raises many types of different people type framework on a clangen blog. Rn I have it set as four clans but as little as three and as many as can border one another is fine, I love working with others and sharing universes and creativity

I also want to make it clear I’m not asking for free art. It would be your clangen blog and your cats and game and final decision on everything, I’m just looking to work with others on a creative project because I love bouncing ideas off others and sharing worlds with people. And if any of that sounds interesting to you hmu!!! Tags message whatever, just lmk if you’re interested!

#My clan is Pineclan. They live in Appalachia esque pine woods and are extremely evangelical! #Cyrus has Spiderclan and they’re very prophecy based. Demanding direct word from starclan(ie omens prophecies etc) to make any decisions #The leader cannot act starclans will. Only starclan #Also I was originally going on tree names but spider is different probably because they look down on those /other/ guys #My other main idea for one is hollyclan. Who puts a lot more value into formerly living cats as patrons in a sort of old catholic way #Or even like. Greek mythology esque perhaps. Idk! I’m not doing two so whoever takes that one can decide where to go with it! #And from that point we can just keep making stuff up #Also just btw I’m 20 and Cyrus is 18. If that matters to anyone #But beginner artists/writers/storytellers completely welcome on my end!!! #Little sticker that says ‘plays well with others’ on a little dog vest I’m theoretically wearing #ANYWAY. Yeah please lmk if interested!! #warriors #warrior cats #clangen project #warriors project #warrior cats ocs #clangen blog #clan generator #open to all #open to mutuals #warrior cats au #(kind of? Are fan clans an alternate universe technically?)

Recent sky photos 

#still... I am not joking.. every time I post things like this it is so hard to narrow them down #I am almost as obsessed with the sky as I am with cats. I have a folder of just cloud pictures with like 650 photos in it right now #I don't post them all because I think it'd seem repetitive probably but just know... lol #that could be an entire blog or something.. hundreds and hundreds... #Like the same way that I cannot explain my obsession with cats or why they've imprinted into my brain so heavily - clouds are the same way #anyway.. .still have the costume photos and stuff like that I just havent edited and posted yet lol.. I will.. hoepfully have actual art #content and stuff thats not just random cat photos sometime soon. I'm just always so preoccupied at the beginning of the year with trying to #adjust to new goals and schedules.. plus.. still wokriong on that wretched little slideshow aaaaaaaaaaaa... it is going to take me... #a million yearbs..... #I just want the worldbuiling lore established so I can branch out and do other things.. aughhhh...... #also have to work on game videos and a few other vidoes.. still trying to keep up wiht the youtube a little.. I just havent been productive #like since new years as I've felt sicker with my stomach symptoms and stuff.. ToT ALSO I DID MAKE THAT ENTIRE interactive fiction game which #I still have no posted anywhere lol.. Because it was kind of to accompany something that I was doing on a game site (like imagine making a g #ame to go along with one of your neopets or something) but it works totally fine as a standalone thing as well like. so detached from the #lore of the game site in general that it'd be broadly understandable and is it's own thing of course (because I dont really like writing #other people's characters/in the confine's of other worlds so I made everything original as possible with just a loose tie in to the neopets #typw thing lol) - but I figured since it works on it's own I could post it publicly other places too like 'hey look I made something' since #that is...... kind of somehting that counts as like... being creatively productive lol? like I keep talking about getting nothing done while #also forgetting about the things I actually HAVE done. alas I continuously forget. Seriously I am so bad at social media. I am never exagger #ating for comedic effect or something. I am the type of person that could legit like. write and produce and direct and complete a movie #that will be million dollars shown in theaters or something and I would forget to mention it anywherte until like 5 months later and go 'oh #uh .. oh yeah.. i should post about that online somehwere probably.. oops' . Cursed with the 'forget about everything once it's complete' #trait. Like the way my brain works is just like. once I finish something I'm immediately like 'cool! onto the next thing!!' without processi #ng what i just did. I'm just always looking forward to the next thing. I'll finish sculptures and then throw them away or forget about them. #I take photos and they sit in the drafts for 6 months before I post them. Like to me the enjoyment comes from the PROCESS of making somehtin #g but I don't care as much about the end result so it just doesnt exist in my brain anymore once I'm done? idk.. anyway ghjbhj #SORRY.. trying to be more active. I want to make and sell sculptures again. sell all of my spare clothes too. stuff. things.. aaa.. ***

Btw today is a month since this blog was shadowbanned 🥳🥳

#Uhm. #I don't have words #Anyways I was suspending the queue thinking the shadowban would be temporary (and exams) #but given it clearly isn't. temporary. and I have stuff to post / reblog I will probably resume it with February #(Well. not tomorrow because of the episode or the second because of the chapter– #but unless sskk goes canon or something the third shall be it) #Also because like. I miss sskk and there's too many sskk posts going from June it'd be too bad not to post #I'm mostly sorry for the Akutagawa side blog tbh? Like with this blog I kinda came to terms with the accomodation of keeping it reblogs– #focused and the other original posts centered. #Despite the initial trauma it isn't even that bad because before my original posts kept getting lost in reblogs so it's a nice solution! #(Wow I just realized. After all the pain I went through when this blog was first blocked‚ the last stage of grief really IS acceptance) #But the Akutagawa blog got shadowbanned like one week after creation and although I love running it and looking for pics. #Idk I wish it got a little more traction before disappearing to the void #But there's little I can do I guess. Trust me when I tell you I tried anything I can do– well‚ besides messaging staff every day #But how could I ever do that 😞 #I feel my mental state deteriorating day after day and it's always harder to do things during the day #but it's okay tomorrow is Wungo Wednesday and that's sure to fix me <33 #random rambles

#this is gonna be a mini rant because it is only 9am and i am already salty af lmao #the state of the internet is seriously having me debating whether i want to continue being a part of the online world #why tf do some people just steal other content to repost without even crediting the creators #and ur not even doing a good job of stealing content with your shitty screenshots #and why do people reblog that shit??? #it seriously baffles me #especially when you can see the original account name in the photo #like go find that person and don't reblog some creep who thinks they have the right to take someone's photos and post them on their #disguting blogs filled with disgustingness #anyways i think i've just had too much internet the past few days #i have seen too many things i shouldn't have 😂 #i don't even know what my point is anymore but i feel a bit better after this rant #basically stop being gross lol

I’m making this very clear right now:

If you think AI stealing real artists artwork is excusable, unfollow me this instant. AI Generated Images is theft.

#personal* #jess talks #if you think it’s okay to steal the hard work of someone practiced and skilled enough to creat it themselves #then you can get fucked and unfollow me #I don’t want anyone with that mentality around my blog #I’ve just seen a bunch of people on insta flood the comments of some of my fave artists saying they’re in the wrong from being against AI #yeh we fuckin know it’s not going anywhere and that’s a problem in of itself because it’ll eventually replace more creative jobs #AI generators harvest artworks from websites MADE MY REAL ARTISTS to create an emotionless/cold varient based off of key words #it’s absurd and fucked up #and don’t start with the copyright bullshit #fundamentally if an AI is going to use other real artists work as its base - then it needs to ASK PERMISSION and compensate #artwork belongs to the artist. period. #my dream job is to be concept artist #at this fucking rate a computer will have the job before I ever get the chance to apply #companies are already firing artists in place of using AI because it’s ‘faster and less expensive’ #congratulations you just openly admitted you’d rather fast mass produce content and products than pay a talented employ to create something #that’s original and potentially groundbreaking #like legit get fucked #anyway rant over #I’ll be reblogging this

#people will cheer about how others should set boundaries and uphold them for their own well-being #until those boundaries prevent them from getting what they want from you #I have to constantly beg people not to use this OC blog as an aesthetic resource blog for their own OC blogs #It's a roleplay blog - which means it is effectively a scrapbook for *my* OC - and a place for people who want to interact with me/my OC #it is NOT a place for complete strangers who have no interest in the OC to come and shop for their OC's aesthetic #but people get SO MAD when you tell them you have this one and only boundary that is 'please don't use me like an object' #is it so much to ask that people who follow an RP blog actually interact with that OC? #why else would you follow an OC's blog if you aren't interested in interacting with them as a character? #anyways it's always a bummer to come across an OC blog I like that has blocked me because I insisted they not use my blog as a resource #just go follow the same resource blogs your favs do if you really don't want to interact with their OC - but you really like their aestheti #if you want to share aes. posts from someone...maybe try sharing their original creations as well so it doesn't feel like you're using them #and it feels like you're actually supporting them AND you like their aesthetic - that's all I've ever asked of people and they get SO mad #when asked to consider that there is a human being behind the screen who doesn't want to be treated like a resource... #- but as a creative/writer who is seeking contacts to do improvisational creative writing with others #the amount of strangers coming to my blog lately not to interact or share my work - but just take the 1-2 aesthetic posts I share is vexing #to all who do share: I love you and I see you and I appreciate you #and I've seriously considered just doing a random gift/giveaway from a pool of people that only consists of you guys #just to give back to the maybe 5 ppl who actually interact with me & others and support them by sharing their original work

before i pass out for the night. since my brain is back on dan and phil as if its 2016 or something i need to put this out into the world. this isnt some sort of important life changing post, just a personal funny thing

so when i was 13 and fixating on dan and phil, i read a lot of fanfics. like, i guarantee that even after all these years that, if i had the statistics, that fandom was the one i read the most fanfics for and constantly. i couldnt tell you what nearly any of them were about, and i have a feeling that many of them are probably lost to time by now. i also dont know if i need to mention that yeah, a lot of them were shipping, and yes ive long grown out of that. (the dnp fandom is actually what made me grow out of that)

anyway all this to say that over the last 6 years after i stopped fixating on dan and phil, one fanfic stuck with me and i just. i think about it every once in a while. its been over half a decade. it wasnt a groundbreaking fic, i dont remember any quotes or specifics, just the premise as of at least the first few chapters. idk why it stuck with me

it was literally a fic about. if the world had gotten to a point where almost every child was born as like, a science baby instead of a natural baby, and phil was a science baby, but dan was a natural baby. and there was somehow this like, thing where the science babies would bully the natural babies for some reason idek, and this was a highschool setting and i think dan was a new kid in school. and what gets me about the fic is that dan was some small shy scared kid and phil was some mean jerk bully. and how wild that is compared to how they are in real life

this isnt me trying to find the fic or the person who wrote it or any of that, this is literally just. i remember this fic at least once every few months and i needed to get it out of my brain somewhere

#there are few fics that i remember several years after i read them the first time. this is one of them #depressingly. some of the fics that are on that list are most definitely gone by now #there was one in the vt fandom i still think about 6 years later that i loved. but the person who wrote it hated it :[ #the others that are on that list off the top of my head are the hlvrai mermaid fic and the hlvrai alien weed fic #my brain latches onto the most random fics to remember forever lol #my post #dan and phil #<- tagging for blog purposes. not because i want people to see this #if you see this post. good for you i guess ajfjshd #bur seriously if you know the fic/author of what im talking about. i mean itd be neat to find it again. but dont bother them yknow #its also wild how thats like. such a dystopian novel premise. not in a bad way just a neutral way #i love the premises that people come up with for fanfiction. like. ANYTHING can be a fanfic premise and i find that so magical #i had a fanfic premise that was originally meant to be a dnp fanfic that ive long since changed to be an original thing lol #and its... a weird premise lol. at least i think so #anyway since this is the bottom of the tags and no ones going to read this. i gotta say i have so many thoughts on dnp fanfic culture #and my personal relationship with it which i think. my personal relationship with it was heavily influenced by me being like. #transmasc + mlm but not knowing either yet and how wild that is to look back on #its why i love that one meme pic thats like. 'straight girls who fetishize mlm look like this in 5 years' and it shows a pic of jessie #jessie from breaking bad sorry the tag length ran out #but anyway im not gonna make full posts about that. just wanted to mention it somewhere lol

[erosology]

me: maybe i should back into my older fandoms too, like marvel and DC and star wars. i miss them so much and i—

*finds out ryan reynolds is on tumblr*

me:

#❀.chatter #watching book of boba fett #and talking about pedro with lia has made me realize how much i miss my other fandoms #this was originally a multi-fandom blog anyway…. #then cod grabbed me by the ovaries #ALSDKFJAHSDF I STILL LOVE THEM #THEY’RE STILL MY FAVORITES DON’T WORRY #but i also miss jason todd and boba fett and wade wilson :( #so back to multi-fandom we go <3

I am cursed with the burden of liking so many things but not having energy to make art for all the things I like 😭

The number of posts I’ve been tagged in for the “My Year In Review” as one of peoples’ “top 5 blogs your reblogged from” is both startling and validating. Since one intention for this account is to reblog items that I think is either valuable for people to read due to political / social reasons *or* entertaining in a way that will bring a literal smile to their face on a bad day (and I know a lot of us have been having bad days), it’s nice to have confirmation that so many of you who opted to follow this blog feel the content I have reblogged is, indeed, worthy of continuing to be passed along to your own followers. Or, possibly you just like all my reblogs of cat photos, which is absolutely valid. I’m reblogging them catses for a reason, after all. ^ _ ^

#Lynati personal #I'm too exhausted to create much of my own original content these days so I'll take my enjoyment in cross-pollinating for y'all #The other main intention for this blog is to keep *myself* entertained and aware of what's going on in the world around me #and so that on bad days I can go back to my various tags and trigger the good brain chemical reactions by looking at the posts I've curated #In case you were curious #Anyway I hope I've helped make your day better or at least better-informed #even if that info is about chicken butts or creeping fungus or whale falls

sayana and her retainers, tsih'ra and brynlona ✨

#aria blogs ffxiv #ffxiv #au ra #miqo'te #miqote #roegadyn #oc: sayana #oc: tsih'ra #oc: brynlona #best way i can describe their dynamic is tsih'ra and brynlona are like. a slutty team rocket #and they are constantly asking sayana if she's tired of being nice. if she just wants to go ape shitt #their bold and outward natures contrast to sayana's timid nature but they help balance each other out :'D #they. have shady origins (tsih'ra being a conman and brynlona having a history with pirate gangs) #but 1) sayana doesnt know this and 2) she probably wouldnt make a big deal of it anyway #dont got a lot of lore for the retainers but they are slowly coming together in my mind :) #also new default fit for sayana maybe!! #i think i'm slowly becoming a DRK main alongside MNK :''') #and! tsih'ra is AST and brynlona is DNC :) #anyway shady dealings notwithstanding these 3 genuinely trust and enjoy each others' company (even if it took a bit to get there!)
