#around to make it better. sucks because i wish i was a better writer but like TECHNICALLY i can write several formats

[timeisacephalopod]

It really strikes me that people treat fanfic authors as if they don't know anything about writing, which is weird because even before I wrote fic I cowrote a stage play I got an award for back in high school, poetry my teachers would frequently compliment, and my own original ideas in novel format- which structurally you learn in high school it's not some fucking Devine Knowledge no one knows about? If you didn't learn what an inciting incident is and the basic structure of a novel and tropes like The Heroes Journey by eleventh grade then fine but don't project that onto a format of writing you have some weird vendetta against. After that I went to uni and wrote dozens of academic essays for my degree, some of them quite extensive in length and obviously there's technical skill involved in that writing.

Besides that after I stopped writing fic I learned how to write screenplays and wrote like 3 episodes of TV shows in film school- which by the way used other showrunners ideas because writing an episode of an existing show is how you build a portfolio. That's right fanfic hating assholes, if you want a tv writing job pull out ur fuckin fanfic out so your ability to capture the voice of another show can be judged. I also wrote a movie script in school and I highly doubt I'm some Special Snowflake among fic authors, so where the hell does this idea that fic authors are all 13 year old yaoi obsessed morons who've never even seen a book their whole life and never learned even the most basics of writing like what an adjective is come from?

I know people who hold this idea don't seem to think they're misogynists but they treat fic identical to how people treat romance and erotica outside of Fic World and I highly doubt two areas in which women are the ones doing most of the writing would get targeted with the exact same rhetoric of "that's not real writing" for completely different reasons if the arguments against the fiction are basically the same. Because obviously Real Literature doesn't have romance, sex, or women writing it.

Regardless, it's utterly asinine to assume fic authors have no idea how to write because they're writing fic- like actually no, technically speaking I'm qualified to write all kinds of shit as far as what I know, so I don't much appreciate that my writing a single form of writing somehow means I have no skills or training just because Ive written that particular format according to some people. It's deeply insulting and I really do wonder if people think people who write as a hobby should even be allowed to have that hobby if theyre this obsessed with publish or don't ever even LOOK at a word. Like not only is it insulting to suggest that my hobby is somehow some particularly god awful drivel, but apparently those people don't know what a hobby is given that zero other hobbies get treated like this. No one walks around telling people if they aren't playing professional sports they can't play them at all- we just know that normal dudes playing football probably aren't Tom Brady and aren't looking to be either.

#winters ramblings #just because YOU dont know anything about writing doesnt mean everyone is in your boat #and ill tell you right now just because you know about writing doesnt make you good either #im fairly mediocre- raw talent in several areas but VERY diamond in the rough #granted i have more talent than the hacks shitting on fanfic im sure but ill bet im 1000X better an editor #than theyd ever be. editing isy strong suit im VERY good at looking others work over amd figuring out what to shimmy #around to make it better. sucks because i wish i was a better writer but like TECHNICALLY i can write several formats #so to suggest i dont know what im doing because i write FIC is absurd. im bad at writing because i cant plot for the life of me #story im good at worldbuilding im great at character voice im good at but plot? god help me i suck at it #still busdy WEIRD to make the assumption fic authors dont know how to write because they write fic #as if you cant learn how to write outside of fic and apply thay knowledge to the fic?? #because im willing to bet of the talented authors people like they probably have experience writing #be it by themselves be it real writing jobs or training in a writing feild. theres outliers for sure but ill bet #of the REST they arent fucking morons and know how a fucking book works its not rocket science #being good at writing is almost less structure and more everything else mostly because you can get away with bad structure #assuming you have other stuff to offer but if you have the best structure in the world and BORING writing and characters well #no one will boher with that on account of reading is entertainment. you have to ENTERTAIN #by that metric dic authors do more than their hobbies on that and thats true of shite media too #like scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse isnt some Grand Amazing Oscar Winner but it doesnt need to be #like fuck if you insist on only watching oscar winners thats fine but lets not act like your Refined Taste makes you superior #like bitch ive seen oscar winners and ive read best sellers- winning awards doesnt make it Iron Clad Amazing #im sure people have lots to say about Green Books oscar win including me it should've gone to blackkklansman #point being 'good' media doesnt even escape criticism so lets not act as if only watching 'good' media #is like eating the fruits and veggies of media. you are not what you read write or watch lmao #spitting out takes that fucking dumb- as if only watching and reading Quality Content makes you lacking in anti intellectualism? #makes you sound dumber than what you paint fic authors as. media dont need to be good and hobbies arent meant to be oscar winners #or Pulitzer prize winners. fic is a fucking HOBBY and even if it wasnt that doesnt mean people who write it dont know how to write #you have no realiztic idea WHAT someones background is and book structure isnt something So Rare no one knows about it #im aure fic authors know how to ficking GOOGLE shit if they didnt go to high school you arent packing #you dont have Special Book Knowledge karen we all went to high school and if we didnt dont shit on that persons writing asshole??

[convolutedblasphemy]

Things I had to see since joining this fandom:

"Alastor is so hot, too bad he's ace. It kinda sucks tbh, I wish he wasn't asexual."

"Alastor is asexual but not aromantic, this has never been confirmed" ignores the mountain of evidence

"I know Alastor is aroace but he deserves a relationship and I really just want to see him happy with someone..."

"Maybe he has had bad experiences with relationships when he was alive"

"I'm gonna make him question his sexuality"

"If he's ace why does he do [xyz thing that has nothing to do with sexuality]?"

"Aces can still have sex! Aros can still date!" proceeds to never mention his identity again and portray him exactly like an allo person

"Sex-averse aces can still have sex regularly!" (be fucking fr)

"Vivziepop said in a stream that Alastor is sex-favorable and has a preference for women" (no she did not why u lyin'???)

"Rosie said the 'ace in the hole' thing because Alastor is an advantage for Charlie and the hotel, not because he's asexual"

"I know Alastor is canonically aroace but for the sake of this fic let's just pretend he isn't"

Things I have yet to see (do better):

Someone who isn't on the ace or aro spectrum actually portraying a sex-favorable or romance-favorable Alastor instead of an allo version of the character

Allos in the "aces can still have sex! aros can still date!" crowd giving literally any support to the aspec community aside from trying to scoot around Alastor's asexuality

Just one allosexual writer who's like "I know Alastor is aroace so I'm going to try to include that in my writing! Feel free to give me feedback if I get anything wrong!" (if you guys are out there, hit me up, I'll follow you if you're not on my DNI)

#am i supposed to believe you care about us when you're constantly regurgitating sentences that aphobes say to aces and aros all the time? #hazbin hotel #hazbin #alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #the radio demon #aroace alastor #tw: aphobia

[hitomisuzuya]

I need more scummy scara please.. I can't stop thinking about him.. you write him so well! I love your work btw, best writer on here!

Scaramouche x fem! reader. Smut. Scummy Scara. Sexting. Masturbation.

🥺Thank you so much!

Scaramouche is definitely the type to send very dirty, very lewd texts to you. Very often during classes, your phone would vibrate in your lap with incoming texts from him.

What are you thinking about?

You type a text back to him: You. What are you thinking about.

Scaramouche's eyes lit up when he read your response. It only took him a few seconds to respond to you: About how much I wish you were underneath the desk with your pretty lips wrapped around my cock.

He slid his eyes up to see your expression after you read the text. One of the things he loves most (besides typing them of course) is seeing your cheeks flush after you read them.

You fidgeted in your chair, attempting to concentrate on the lecture while you thought up a response. Scaramouche could tell you were having trouble concentrating from the way you were curling a lock of hair around your finger.

What was it that they say about girls who twirl their hair around their fingers? They were thinking about sex. Your phone vibrated on your lap with another text from him.

You are thinking about me licking and sucking on your cunt underneath the desk, aren't you? Your cheeks flushed darker as you flicked your eyes up to glance at him. Your phone vibrated in your lap again.

I know I am.

Scaramouche saw you rub your thighs together for a moment, tucking a lock of hair behind your ear. He watched you as you texted back after a few minutes. Your text puzzled him, though.

Don't follow me. Just wait for me to get in touch with you.

Scaramouche glanced up at you, confused as he watched you politely excuse yourself from class. He didn't think he had made you uncomfortable or said something that pissed you off. Because you would've let him know, and put him in his place in the way that he enjoyed.

About 10 minutes later, a text came from you. Do you have your earbuds in?

He text yes.

A few moments went by before his phone vibrated in his lap again. This time it was saying that a video call was incoming from you. When he answered the call, he was met with a sight that instantly made his cock harden.

You were on his bed, your legs spread while your fingers pumped in and out of your cunt. Your sweet, desperate moans meant with his ears. You dipped your fingers up to rub your clit.

You were writhing on his bed, bucking your hips up into your fingers. "I'm wet and aching for you, Scara. I wish these were your fingers instead.." You trailed off, moaning as you pinched and rubbed your clit, your thighs trembling as your fingers squelched in and out of you.

Scaramouche bit his lip to keep from groaning, his cock throbbing and starting to strain in his jeans. His hands tightened around his phone. You were starting to mewl and cry out for him, saying how you were close but you couldn't get yourself off.

You moved your hand up to one of your breasts, pinching your nipple to harden between your fingers, spreading your legs wider while you massaged and rubbed your clit.

When you started crying out his name, Scaramouche couldn't stand it anymore. He texted, You keep making yourself a wet mess. Your legs better be spread nice and wide, your cunt on display for me when I get there.

He left class without saying a word. He was going to stuff your cunt full of his fingers, lick and suck on your clit until you cummed hard on his fingers. He was going to lap up every last drop before he fucked you senseless.

[olderthannetfic]

Maybe it's because I'm neurodivergent, but something I don't get is when people bring up that it used to be that nobody got comments, we use to post in formats where no one could comment, it used to be that people posted fic and you didn't even know how many hits you got, etc. and seem to be proud of how much they don't care about comments and hits.

And I get it. It's unhealthy to like comments or hits. But I don't know if that means it's inherently more healthy to not like them. I certainly don't think it's healthy to see people say, "I wish someone commented on my stuff" and go, "back in MY day we weren't PARASOCIAL LOSERS who used fandom as SOCIAL MEDIA! We understood that fandom was about TRUE ART and TRUE ART doesn't involve others!" because... it just feels like, to me, it shouldn't bother people? If you're really, truly happy with your fandom experience that didn't involve talking to others, why would you then talk to others, even to tell them they're wrong? If silence is golden, why would you ruin it?

And before anyone goes "typical stupid Gen Z kid, wanting fandom to be social media": I quit writing three years ago, I'm not parasocially attempting to use fandom to talk to people.

--

Is this something people in general say, or is it something that one True Art anon with serious emotional issues says?

There's nothing parasocial about commenting on people's fanfic. The only way that would be true is if you're so influencer-poisoned that you think popular fic writers are internet celebrities totally separate from their audiences. In fact, fanfic writers and readers, popular and unpopular, are peers. The people who try to give themselves airs suck and are best avoided.

In oldschool spaces, we most certainly talked to people whose fic we liked so that we could make friends with them. Actual friends. Not some weird cult around a youtuber.

It's also not at all unhealthy to like comments and hits: It's unhealthy to obsess over them.

People who've been in fandom for decades will confirm that the ratio of hits or zine sales or whatever to good feedback was always terrible and so fixating on stats like that will just depress you. Trying to "fix" it is futile. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have an emotional reaction. An emotional reaction is inevitable. It's just that realistic context will make the situation feel less personal.

--

Anon... true fandom olds bitch about modern social media bullshit because it represents a loss of community.

Actual community is the opposite of parasocial.

You need to hang out with better people if this weird shit is what you're seeing.

[obey-me-rot]

please please please come back you are possibly one of the best obm writers and trust me i have gone through ALL ao3, tumblr and wattpad. i know what i am talking about trust me 😭😭😭🙏🙏

Strangely enough I am working on something anon! So I am coming back I just need...ideas... In the meanwhile though please do check out @books-and-catears! I've been getting back into OM and they are half responsible for bringing me back !

God maybe I should open up requests...is anybody even in this fandom anymore? But because you are so sweet I'm gonna leave this! Have you ever had a little cut? Well not to fear, your prideful demon Lucifer has got his special disinfectant right here~

You sigh and put your hand over your neck once again, Lucifer coming up behind you as you sigh and lean forward so you can look at your face in the mirror.

“…I don’t know why I’m being a klutz all of a sudden.”

Lucifer wouldn’t call you a klutz, you were just distracted. You had looked rather lovely tucked in with your head stuck in a book that you had most likely not measured the amount of strength you were putting into your hand. So no, not a klutz–but certainly one step away from getting into yet another tiny accident. He smiles when he sees your pout and reaches for the hand around the back of your neck.

“Surely you shouldn’t be feeling down over a little scratch. Here, let me see–”

Your hand remains firm on your neck, even if his fingers were tucking inside so that he could start pulling it away.

“No no it’s fine--you have a lot of work. I’ll go grab a bandaid or something.”

He can feel you jump when his hand goes to your waist, keeping you in place as his other hand starts tugging down the small barrier you had made for yourself.

“MC. Let me see.”

You knew better than to argue with that voice, Lucifer had made it a priority to condition you and the rest of his brothers to always listen to this tone. It meant that if he had to repeat himself again, it would come with a very harsh punishment. With a sigh, you let him pull your hand away from your neck as your eyes look down at your feet, letting Lucifer see whatever damage you had unconsciously made

And it was–-mild.

The cut was most likely from the RAD badge that they needed to wear on the school uniform, Lucifer had seen you toss your jacket on rather haphazardly whenever you needed to run out of the House of Lamentation when you were late…it was most likely caused by that. Yet what had his attention wasn’t the cut–it was the little indentation of blood that had begun to pool up on the back of your neck.

“…Is...Is it bad?”

When was the last time he had seen human blood? He could probably count the time in millenia. It wasn’t necessarily new to him either–human blood was just human blood, after all. It was used in demon summoning rituals a long time ago. Whoever had wished to make a deal would offer up a hefty amount of their blood just to conjure their presence. No, what made this little sliver of blood so delici–special–was that it was yours. Human blood tastes metallic to your fellow kin, but demon’s had a different sort of palate.

“Not bad no…”

He pulls your hand by the wrist so your fingers go to his lips, letting his tongue trace the single drop of blood that was threatening to roll down your finger, greedily tasting the flavor of his Master's blood. There's no hesitation in his steps when he opens his mouth, pressing your finger against his tongue and closing his lips around it before you could even react. Another greedy suck, a cheeky smile and a hand that refused to let go of your wrist.

“But it should be disinfected right away.”

[theskysungqueen]

to make things brief cause I suck at organizing what I have to say, the live action was definitely Something™.

Cast: 10/10 kinda biased personally but yall can't take this from me

Gordon as Aang and Dallas as Zuko were the standouts imo. Gordon needs some direction on line delivery and the angstier scenes but overall he's very charming and I'm so proud of him for getting so much exposure!

Ian as Sokka was great, I just wish he was allowed to be more...messy? like Sokka pretends to be chill and all that but he's actually dramatic so I hope that gets improved in the next season if there is one

speaking of improvement, Kiawentiio as Katara brought out a softer side to the character but sadly diminished her spark and passion. I like that Katara now actually feels like a younger sister, it makes sense within the context of the story that Sokka and Gran Gran would shelter her after what happened, but as someone said, her anger is so central to her character and I just wish that got shown more. It's more of a script and direction problem tbh, if you look at Kia's interviews she has the sass and feistiness Katara needs

Lizzy as Azula is great, the writing is a bit clunky though so she did the best she could with it. Can't really comment on Mai and Ty Lee yet because they're kinda just there but it's a nice setup

Maria as Suki? perfection show stopping never the same she is a queen and I love the tidbit of Suki backstory which she never really had in the og show. I love her being such a loser around her crush we love to see girlfailures girlfailing. I wish the writers didn't make them KISS though 😭 slowburn ftw

the adults were great

Writing: 6.5/10

There were genuinely good moments and I love the concept of mixing up certain plot points to condense the story

But they just suffered from too much Telling instead of Showing WRITERS PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CRITICISM YOU HAVE TIME TO IMPROVE PLEASE

Omashu, mechanist, and Jet plot mixing as a concept was fine, but it dragged on and my friends and I got bored of it. I like it in theory but if it was going to take THAT long couldn't they have just separated one of those storylines for a different episode?

I appreciate that they tried to develop the water siblings' relationship by making them the stars of the Secret Tunnels, but I would've changed the way they "conquered" the problem (really? badgermoles respond to love? cute in theory but like why). If anyone's watched Barbie: A Fairy Secret there's a part where Barbie and her frenemy accuse each other of why their friendship failed, and it helps them make up and breaks the curse put on them. So that's what I would've done, force them in a life or death situation in which they have to say the unsaid things, maybe hug it out and boom

The way they handled Koh and the Spirit World was a Mess™ but the effects were decent

Zhao meeting horrible ends in every incarnation is so deserved

Yue having more agency was a welcome change AND I LOVE THAT SHE WATERBENDS. Then waterbends even when the moon is gone. It's such a nice visual nod to the fact that she has the moon spirit within her

That said, the show could definitely use more visual storytelling, less weird dialogue. Like it's so strangely common for shows or adaptations these days to exposition dump. Like they did not have to make Yue say that the ocean spirit was angry, literally just show me the dead moon fish and I'll get the idea. Then Iroh says "That's Wrath" that's just redundant now isn't it

I like that they saved Katara bringing Aang out of the Avatar State until last even if it could've been done better

HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME LIKE HAHN HE WAS A JERK IN THE SHOW BUT THEY MADE HIM A GENUINELY GOOD CHARACTER. Yes to brown men not being portrayed as jerks but also in the original it was a nice contrast to how far Sokka had come because Hahn reflected who he used to be. But live action Hahn </3

I like that they showed the deaths and blood. I wanted a live action that was both lighthearted but more realistic when it came to the injuries and death, and that'd kind of what I got

Other thoughts + overall

You can tell they put so much heart into this show, watching the bts, the bending boot camp with the correct martial arts, the easter eggs, the nods to the comics, the beautiful adaptations of Cabbage Merchant and Secret Tunnel nomads, there's so much passion behind the show it's a shame it suffered in its writing

which is why if they read reviews and criticism from the bigger name fans (TheAvatarist, HelloFutureMe, etc.) it would really help them improve for future seasons! The cast is stunning already and they have great chemistry (hopefully gets improved too!)

The live action is just a different angle to the show. And I'm saying this as an Avatar fan–the original wasn't perfect, either. I had some problems w it but the overall show was genuinely so good and heartfelt, those problems weren't glaring enough to put me off (unlike The Dragon Prince, sorry). The live action definitely wasn't perfect, but it tried to give us a new look into Avatar. Again, no adaptation will ever be a 1:1 remake and none should be. Where's the fun in that? But while the show is so full of heart and with actual fans working behind the scenes, I doubt if they listen to any criticism that they can't pull this off better next season.

Requested by @mrs-bellingham : "I’m not saying it was a good idea, I'm saying I snapped"

Writer's note: originally requested for Virgil Van Dijk, thank you for letting my change it into kylian again and sorry. For future requests if anyone is wondering for now I'm writing for Kylian, neymar, hakimi, Bellingham and Mason. You can always request with other players but it just isn't certain I'll do it. Love you all xx

Maybe it’s not that bad, I thought to myself. Pacing back and forth on the changing rooms, if it were any other time I would hate being there. The strong perfumes always made my stomach twist and turn I hated it but right now something else was making my stomach twist and turn which I hated even more. I rubbed my face with my hands, like it was a lamp and I could wish for time to get back and I could stop him from doing what he did but time seemed to be remaining painfully slow and moving forward. I was panicking, exaggerating, making a bid deal out of nothing-

“We have a problem-“ Kylian walked in behind you, opening and closing the door quickly, pretty much ruining all my hopes that it was all in my head. I turned around to face him, holding my hands in fists. I had been dealing with the drama that came with being friends with Kylian pretty well, I had accepted it, along with the constant following of the paparazzi. When you started dating you both tried to kept it a secret for as long as he could and it seemed to be working out until-

“You punched the fucking guy in the face-“

“I know!” he said, raising his hands, like he was being called by a referee for a foul.

“Oh you know?” I asked, mocking him “that sucks because I would prefer for you to tell me you were hypnotized or something.”

“How would that be better?”

You reached down at one of the benches, snatching the closest thing you could find which was a psg shirt and threw at him “how Is just punching a guy out of the blue a better idea?”

“Hey!” he held the shirt in his hands “I never said it was a good idea. I’m saying I snapped!”

“couldn’t you have snapped at a wall or something?”

“They guy was taking pictures of us! Why are you mad at me?” he yelled back. I took a deep breath in and sat on the nearest bench, holding my head in my hands, fearing that it might even explode. I heard him sighing and cursing until he sat next to me. I couldn’t even look at him, I was feeling all sorts of emotions, fearing for tomorrow’s headlines and articles, the impact it would have on his public figure. “I’m sorry” he mumbled; I knew how hard it must have been for him to do. I titled my head to look at him, he was staring at the floor. “I thought I could get the camera and the pictures would never be leaked- I was trying to save it as much as I could-“

“Famous last words.” I joked and looked away again.

“I know what these pictures of us making out seeing the light is gonna do to you, I wanted to stop him.”

“You broke his jaw.”

“That’s-“ he searched for the right words “I didn’t break his jaw. He is overreacting. I’ve had tougher hits on the field”

“I’m pretty sure he was bleeding-“

“The floors are red you wouldn’t know if he was bleeding-“

You looked a him shocked about to laugh “That’s what you’re going with?”

“Listen he’ll be fine, ok? Will this be a story? Maybe-“

“Definitely” you corrected.

“Probably. Will I need to pay for his doctor appointments in the near future?”

“Absolutely.”

“Do I regret it?”

“I hope so!”

“No.” he answered bluntly. I was taken aback by how serious he looked, like he was making a confession that if it came down to it, he would do it again. “Hey look at me.” He placed his hand on my cheek, his touch was doing things to me without even trying. He pushed my hair behind my ear, smiling because he knew that always made me weak. “That guy said things about you, he took inappropriate pictures of you without your permission, I’d knock him out again if I had to.” I couldn’t help but feel love him in that moment, the way his eyes fell on me sent shivers down my spine. Like I was his and only his and no one else was allowed to even look at me without his permission. I leaned in and kissed him, a sloppy kiss, that would give him the reward he deserved for protecting me.

“My loyal bulldog, biting anyone that gets close enough.” You whispered in his lips.

“Damn right!” he replied, pushing me back on the bench so he’d be laying on top of me, kissing my cheek and then my neck, leaving a small bite on my skin, that made me laugh. “Sometimes biting you too” he said, making me laugh even more. He slipped his hands under my shirt, his hands on my skin finding their place on my waist. Getting caught on the hallways obviously taught us nothing because we were about to finish what we started and we would have if the door didn’t crack open, making us both jump on our feet.

“OH!” said Neymar disgusted closing his eyes “You guys wanna get a room or something- for fuck’s shake.” He opened his eyes slowly, making sure no one was naked “Coach wants to see you. Now.”

“Merde…” He looked at me, a sympathetic expression on his eyes and gave me one last kiss “I love you.”

“Love you too Kyky.”

“Yeah, have fun in there-“ he patted Kylian In the back, while I stood back watching him leave. I looked up at Ney, worried.

“Is he gonna be ok?”

“He’s gonna get a good yelling but he will survive don’t worry.” He looked at me smiling “are you gonna be, ok?”

“Sure.”

I went home without him and waited for him to return. Turns out he had been benched for next game, coach wasn’t happy for his reaction at all but Kylian seemed pretty chilled, despite the consequences. We cuddled on the couch, my head on his chest, his hand messing with my hair while I slowly fell asleep in his arms. “Thank you” I whispered, getting his attention. He looked down at me confused and I raised my head as much as I could to look at him “I didn’t say thank you or sorry.”

“For what?” he asked, almost laughing at my sudden gratitude or apology.

“For what you did for me.”

He smiled, his hand slipping on my cheek, his entire palm covering it “No need to thank me. You said it yourself I’m your bulldog. I was born to protect you.”

My face fell back on his chest, while I blushed and I hugged him as tight as I could, making sure he wasn’t just a dream.

[greenerteacups]

Hi! I am an ardent fan of your writing, and I hope to be as sorted and planned as you some day in my own writing journey.

My question is: you have a keen eye when it comes to planning character personality, dynamics, and such. I've also been wading through your ask replies, and your insights into how you write people and how you make them play off of each other is so wonderful to read. If it's not too personal a q, how did you learn how to write like this? Did you go to school for writing, does it come from years of observing people, do you have reading list recs for "how to write real people and real interactions"?

Thanks! This is a really flattering question. I'll try to answer it honestly, because I wish someone had been brutally honest about this with me when I was a young writer.

I didn't go to school for writing. I started doing it when I was about nine years old. It sucked very badly. I kept writing throughout high school, and it still mostly sucked, but some of it was occasionally interesting. ("Interesting" here does not mean "good," by the way.) I took a break in college, and then came back. I've been writing ever since. Sometimes, I feel good about it. A lot of the time, I don't!

I hate giving this advice, because I remember how it feels to get it, and it's the most uninspiring, boring-ass, dog shit advice you can get, but it's also the only advice that is 100% unequivocally true: you have to write, and specifically, you have to write things that suck.

I do not mean that you should make things that suck on purpose. I mean that you have to sit down and try your absolute hardest to make something good. You have to put in the hours, the elbow grease, the blood, sweat, and tears, and then you have to read it over and accept that it just totally sucks. There is no way around this, and you should be wary of people who tell you there is. There is no trick, no rule, no book you can buy or article you can read, that will make your writing not suck. The best someone else can do is tell you what good writing looks like, and chances are, you knew that anyway — after all, you love to read. You wouldn't be trying to do this if you didn't. And anyone who says they can teach you to write so good it doesn't suck at first is either lying to you, or they have forgotten how they learned to write in the first place.

So the trick is to sit there in the miserable doldrums of Suck, write a ton, and learn to like it. Because this is the phase of your path as an artist when you find what it is you love about writing, and it cannot be the chance to make "good writing." This will be the thing that bears you through and compels you to keep going when your writing is shit, i.e., the very thing that makes you a writer in the first place. So find that, and you've got a good start.

Some people know this, but assume that perseverance as a writer is about trying to get to the point where you don't suck anymore. This is not true, and it is an actively dangerous lie to tell young writers. You are not aiming to feel like your writing doesn't suck. You are aiming to write. You are aiming to have written. Everything else is dust and rust. And of course, you'll find things you like about your pieces, you'll find things you're proud of, you'll learn to love the things you've made. But that little itch of self-criticism, in the back of your brain — the one that cringes when you read a clunky line, or thinks of a better character beat right after it's far too late to change — that's never going away. That's the Writer part of you. Read Kafka, read Dickens, read Tolstoy, you will find diary entries where they lament how absolutely fucking atrocious their writing was, and how angry they are that they can't do better. A good writer hates their sentences because they can always imagine better ones. And the ability to imagine a better sentence is what's going to make you pick up the pen again tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that.

Which is what I mean, and probably what all those other annoying, preachy advice-givers mean, when we say: a good writer is just someone who writes every day. It's that easy, and that hard.

#by the way a lot of this draws on ideas inspired by 'letters to a young poet' by rainer maria rilke if you're interested #that's a formative text for me as an artist #it won't teach you how to write but it will teach you how to think perhaps #and once you know how to think. well. life is just pretty good #and i can't say the writing gets easier but when life is pretty good i find myself enjoying it a lot more #this word vomit was prompted by the question 'how do you write real people and real interactions' #because that's like — i'm not trying to be pedantic but— #that's kind of just 'how do you write literature'? #because that's all literature is. what are human beings? how do you write a person? how do they interact with each other? #like shoutout to the void if you know for sure how to write real interactions then please for the love of god tell the rest of us #because i think most of all authors in history have just been giving it our best stab #'this is how the world looks for me. is it how the world looks for you?' #so my advice on that score is: try to see how the world looks for you #and then try to share it with me #don't worry about whether it looks the same for me. it won't

I’ll bite with another request.

Scaramouche being jealous that I’m always using Kaeya ingame since he’s the absolute epitome of “tall, dark and handsome” and he’s all like, “How pathetic. Sucking up to that guy like it’s your last chance at living.” when he’s actually like, “Hey asshole. Notice me. Now.”

What a pain. I have to fuck every ounce of jealousy out of him.

Just give him some attention smh.

cw: sub scaramouche, nsfw/smut, degradation, gn!reader, reader has a dick/strap-on

summary: Scara gets jealous because you keep taking Kaeya to help with your daily things! So you decide to fuck it out of him?

a/n: BITE MF- jealous scara, so stupid, fuck that jealousy outta him ‼️🙏 He just wants some attention, jeesh why r u so focused on kaeya smh /j 🙄

Minor writer, dni if uncomfortable!

"Ugh," he's groaning, annoyed once he sees you bidding farewell to Kaeya. You had him on your team again, needing some help with commissions and bounties. He's strong and a fun guy to be around!

Once you approach Scara, he's glaring at you, annoyance in his voice, "Tch, how pathetic. Can't do anything without him, really need him to keep you alive, huh." He's rolling his eyes and you just shrug, walking past him, "Well it's more fun doing things with a good friend, plus I get things done quicker." You're walking away from the city, leaving Scara standing by the tree. He quickly catches up with you, walking next to you.

"Yeah, sure. But wouldn't it be better to have someone else with you? He's weird," He speaks, shaking his head. Now that he thinks about it, no. He doesn't want anyone else to be with you. Why can't you just take him along uh?? Is that so hard??

You look at him, doubt in your gaze, "He's weird..? Says who?" Scara glares, "What do you mean 'says who'? I'm saying that! That guy is weird, changing up your little 'team' would be better." You're raising your eyebrows, looking back to where you're going, "The more you speak, the more I won't listen to you."

You two continue to talk, Scara still talking about you and Kaeya, you starting to realize that he's just jealous of you spending time with Kaeya. Trying to tell you that the guy is weird and shouldn't accompany you?? Seems like something Scara would definitely do while jealous, c'mon.

You two had walked pretty far, into some quiet area with few trees. So you finally took the chance.

Scaramouche is still talking about Kaeya until you stop and pull him by his shirt, pushing him against a tree, knocking his hat off in the process. "Alright, I get it," you start speaking, "You're annoyed at me not giving you attention." Scara's staring at you with wide eyes, before relaxing his expression. "What? Excuse me? Bold of you to assume I care for your attention, I just don't like Kaeya." He responds, wrapping his hands around your arm, "Let me go, you look stupid."

"Let you go? Oh, you wish," you chuckle at him. He's pushing you away, but you quickly take the chance to take his hands and pin them above his head. Scara blinks at you, "Uh- don't we have somewhere to go? Didn't you need some kind of materials for one of your stupid friends or whatever?" You lean closer to him, "That can wait, I have better things to do now."

"Psh, like what? Keep me here until I apologize for talking about your dear Kaeya?" He laughs, smirking at you. You shake your head, "Shut your mouth." "Oh, you wish," he quotes your words, tilting his head to the side. Alright yeah you've had enough.

You lean into his neck, biting down immediately. He gasps, "What- the fuck are you doing?" You just ignore him, sucking on the spot and then moving to another. Scara's complaining and gasping whenever you bite down harsher. But then he finally shuts up when you bite at a spot on his neck, making him gasp again. He suddenly moans when you suck another dark mark. You pull away to stare at him, "Huh? Where did your complains go?" He's got a light blush on his face as he rolls his eyes at you, "Shut up."

"Okay," you simply respond, going back to leave marks. It's not long until he's trying to get his hands out of your grasp. When you're done, you kiss every mark that you made. "Oh, for fucks sake just move on," he groans. You don't, of course. After a few more kisses, he's about to say something again, but you press your lips against his, shutting him up. Your other hand went to stay on his chest, tracing shapes.

Then you wrap it around his neck, slightly squeezing. He gasps and you let your tongue in. You move your hand back to his chest, going more down. You made out with Scara, him starting to make noise in your mouth, having enough of you teasing him, whatever.

Once you pull away, you tell him to shut up again, seeing that he's opening his mouth. And he does. "Your jealousy is stupid and I've had enough," you say, dragging the tips of your fingers down his stomach. Then you stop right above where he'd want you to touch him.

"And I've had enough of you teasing m-" he decides to speak, but you cut him off with a kiss. He tries to get out of your hand again, but do you let him? No.

You pull away from his face, sighing, "Guess I'll have to fuck that out of you, no?" He blinks, but doesn't dare to speak again.

..

He's holding onto that tree for dear life, your thrusts being rough. Your hands holding his hips as you lean down to speak in his ear, "Can you hear yourself? You're moaning like a bitch." He whines, one of his hands going down to touch himself. You see it, of course, and take your hand away to slap his away. "Don't you dare," you dig your nails in his skin, "You think you're allowed to do that?"

He moans, head falling back, "Please-" "Oh hell no, you won't get away with that," you fuck into him harder, "Ah, I'll fuck that jealousy out of you, slut." Scara's hands try to hold himself up on that tree, but you hitting him right there has him getting weaker. And once you wrap a hand around his dick-

His moans increase in volume. Your hand goes to his chest as you push him to straighten his back. You push him against the tree, hand jerking him quicker while you continue fucking him.

His hands go into fists, his head fallen back, mouth open, tongue lolling out. You can't help but laugh, leaning closer to him. "You like my attention, hm?" You speak, kissing the mark at the back of his neck. Scara whines out, "Yes, fuck, please- more, pleashe, fuck-!"

"So pathetic, Scara," you leave kisses on his shoulder, "You're so loud. That desperate for my attention, huh?"

[gigigle]

I really hate how ursa is done in the comics idk

Like I'm done with the arranged marriage and her and ikem but I hate the other stuff.

1. Her and azula

I kinda wish they made her and azulas relationship more complex and nuanced instead of it being that ursa loved her all along and never favored zuko

Because I just think that's a little lazy. I feel like if ursa had favored zuko it would've made sense like if we keep the ikem part of all of it then I think it would be interesting that ursa favored zuko because he reminded her of her past and ikem. Also that with zuko she could at least pretend he wasn't ozais.

But with azula she couldn't pretend at all. And then coupled that with the fact that azula had a spark in her eyes that zuko didn't and she saw how ozai reacted to that and how he treated zuko that she would feel like she would need to protect him even more. I think it would be an interesting thing if zuko reminded her of her old life while azula reminded her of her present life.

And that would cause a rift between them. And then we would have azula acting out for her mothers attention and acting more and more similar to ozai which would just further increase the rift. Because ursa would struggle to separate her daughter from her abuser like she can with zuko. Especially since azula would also spend most of her time learning from ozai and listening to him.

Im also not saying she would a horrible mother either. Because I think even with this scenario that she is still nuanced because she got forced into a situation she would have never chosen and is just trying to get through it day by day. I think it would be that like ursa, azula was just a casualty of azulon and especially of ozai. Because had ozai not been there I think she would have been a much better mother.

Like idk I just feel like with how the comics wrote ursa and ozais relationship this would make even more sense than her being just a slightly flawed mother but she was trying her best. Idk I'm not very articulate.

2. The forgetting thing

It sucks. I hate it so much actually. It's just so bad, like I feel like the writer couldn't think of anyway to make it make sense that ursa would never go back to her kids but tbh I can think of some ways.

Like ursa is definitely terrified of ozai and he knows where she went and she would still go back to her hometown.

So maybe ozai knows this and every now and then he sends soldiers around there to just do a bit of patrol maybe even have them raid her parents house as a way of telling ursa that if she does something her parents and ikem are gonna be the price. Which I think would work.

Also I think with azula and zuko that she just kept telling herself that zuko had Iroh and that azula was ozais favorite. She probably just repeated those constantly like how zuko does with azula always lies. And soon after like a year she believed it.

Also I think she wouldn't get any information on them because ozai would make it harder and like we see in canon not that many know of or recognize azula and zuko. Like in the beach episode kids who seem to have noble parents don't even know about them so I think it would make a lot of sense that the royal family is way way way more private esp during ozais reign. Because yk ozai killed his father,stole his brothers birthright, and In ozais opinion had a failure of a first born. And maybe ursa was also too terrified of what shed find out or just to leave hir'a/her hometown.

Also part of me thinks it was lazy writing so that they wouldn't have to have ursa have difficult conversations about why she never went looking for them or just a conversation with azula because we never actually get a real ursa and azula convo.

3. Kiyi

I hate her. Like she just feels like such a a replacement and lazy writing. Like they wanted zuko to have a healthy brother sister dynamic with someone and they didn't know how,didn't think of, or just didn't want to write that with pre established characters, they decided to make a character that was everything azula wasn't and was the perfect little sister and daughter.

Like I think she could be fun but I also think she was just so that zuko could have that dynamic without having to put in the work of writing azula a semi redemption arc or smth.

But also I think maybe they could've given zuko that brother sister dynamic with katara or toph. Like we see zuko jealous of sokka and katara and maybe we get stuff we're zuko and katara will act like sibling or like the relationship he always wanted with azula but then gets reminded that he can't have that.

Also It feels like a way to also give ursa the perfect daughter but I do think rewritten she could work. I think she's a fun concept.

End

Tbh I just wanted to rant because I feel like so much was done that was just kinda boring and lazy.

hey author!!! i love your works so much they’re all so good and i love the beomgyu one omg i think i’ve read it a few times now hehe 🤭 but anyways here’s my request!!

i was thinking beomgyu asking the reader to hang out with him because he’s utterly in love with them and wants to try and confess but they spend the whole day with another member (i don’t mind which!) so he gets really jealous and hides himself away because he’s really clingy and when the reader finds him sulking and asks him why he just spills that he loves them but felt insecure after today because he thought the member would be a better match so the reader shows him how much he means to them ifywim 😏😏 but i live for whimpery sub gyu who wants nothing more to be called the readers good boy i feel like gyu would have a huge praise kink 🤭

anyways hope you have an amazing day and if that wasn’t detailed enough do ask for more!! and stay healthy!! 🫶🫶🫶

i am so so so so so sorry this took almost two months i was gonna make it a whole fic but then i got so writer's blocked and im really sorry 😭❤️

warnings: idol gyu, jealous sulky gyu, praise, unprotected sex, handjob, blowjob, crying (not related to sex), yeah i made the other member yeonjun just for fun, sub gyu but he's on top, reader calls him 'gyu' and 'good boy', virgin beomgyu, mommy kink, very slight pussy eating

beomgyu who texts you so sweetly, asking if you maybe wanna hang out today, he's off of work and the first thing he thought of doing was spending time with you 🥺 a smile on your lips as you type out a response and he's at your house in 10 minutes, hugging you tight when you open the door :(( a wide grin on his face the whole ride to the dorm, asking what you want to do, a movie maybe? that'd be fun, you can cuddle and he can play with your hair and see if he can get away with a small kiss on your forehead... but of course he doesn't tell you any of this. tugging you by your hand into the dorm once you arrive, stopped in his tracks by yeonjun :(( a slight pout on his lips when his hyung gives you a hug and you giggle, and before beomgyu knows it you're off in the living room talking with yeonjun, laughing at something he says, and the bright look of enjoyment on your face makes him want to cry. of course you'd rather hang out with yeonjun... can't compare with his hyung in any way, but it's fine, maybe the three of you can watch a movie together?

beomgyu sitting awkwardly on the couch as you and yeonjun talk, his eyes on his lap, he almost wishes you'd make a move to acknowledge him :(( too sucked in to talking with yeonjun, and when you don't even notice him getting up to leave, beomgyu starts thinking that maybe that's fine... yeonjun's probably better for you anyways

sulking in his room and internally hoping you'll come and find him, tears pricking his eyes and he hides under his blanket when he realizes that's not the case, he's still there 30 minutes later when yeonjun announces he's leaving and you realize beomgyu's disappeared... wandering around the dorm to find him and checking his room... there's a beomgyu-shaped lump curled up under the blanket and you sit on the edge of the bed, voice soft as you say gyu? are you okay?

he doesn't respond but a part of the lump wiggles a bit, and you assume it's his head and he's shaking it. why not? you rub at his back lightly and he flinches, making you draw back your hand. gyu, please, tell me?

he pokes his head out of the blanket and you notice his cheeks are red, his hair messy, and there are dried tear tracks on his face. just wanted to hang out with you, love you so much, not like a friend at all but yeonjun-hyung would be so much better for you than me he admits, tears filling his eyes and streaking down his cheeks again.

your eyes widen in surprise, and your lips form a small o. gyu... i don't like yeonjun like that. at all.

but you were so good together... even laughed at all his jokes he mumbles, hiding his face again.

by this point you're so sick and tired of his moping, and you have no idea how to say what you want, so you simply lay down next to him in his bed, face across from his, place a hand on his cheek, and lean forward to brush his lips with yours. you can feel his whole body tense against you and under your other hand, his heartbeat speeds up so fast you almost giggle, using your hand on his cheek to pull him closer.

only love you like that, gyu, i promise you exhale, pressing more kisses to his lips and cheek before drawing them down his neck, biting a hickey onto the soft skin there... he doesn't even know how many times you two'd be having a conversation and your gaze would just drop to his neck, something so tempting about it. you press a kiss to his adam's apple before licking up it slowly, sucking a mark directly on it, tongue on his perfect smooth skin, and he lets out a whimper so shocking it makes you gasp before running a hand up and down the expanse of his waist... he's wearing a fitted tank top today and he looked so fuckable in it, dipping so low to expose his collarbones, your lips focusing on them instead.

your hand slips under his waistband to palm him gently. his tip is leaking precum onto his boxers, and there's already a wet splotch there when you tug down his pants, sliding your hand up and down his length once, taking him in your mouth after whispering gonna show you that, alright? show you you're the only one i want

he giggles just a little, humming the tune of blue hour before letting out a small hiss, your tongue dipping over his tip and he's already twitching in your mouth, an embarrassed flush creeping up his neck, he can't help it, you make him feel so good :((

but you stop just before he cums, tutting, saying only gonna cum once you're inside me, alright? and he nods in agreement, his eyes wide, and he half thinks you're going to ride him, but you suddenly lay on your back, tugging off your pants and spreading your legs wide for him to see... and beomgyu can hardly breathe, cunt looking so delicious, he can't help settling between your legs with a long lap at your clit before pressing his tip to your entrance, he knows what to do even if he hasn't done it before. pushing in just a little, looking at you for approval before sinking in a little more, gummy walls around his dick making his arms shake, can barely hold himself up :(( losing himself just a little when you clamp down around him, his hips twitching forwards on their own. your lips are parted silently, head leaned back in pleasure, but you gather yourself to gently rock your hips towards his, encouraging him to start thrusting in and out and a slow pace that grows more desperate when he catches your lips with his, mumbling against you am i making you feel good?

you nod, gasping shakily when he presses up against that perfect spot, eyes squeezing shut so, so good, you're doing so good, my good boy, aren't you?

his whole body shakes at the praise, little whimpers leaving his lips as he struggles to keep his pace steady, an incoherent sentence slipping out of his mouth, and you ask him to repeat himself... say it again, please n/n, say again?

and you giggle, threading your fingers through his hair mommy's good boy, aren't you, gyu?

his whimpers turn to gasps and his movements are erratic now, no pace set, just his hips hitting yours repeatedly, and a whine of mommy, mommy, 'm gonna cum, please? makes you jolt back from getting lost in your pleasure. you nod, and he pulls out to cum on your thighs, his eyes going so wide at the sight

he licks up his cum before nudging your clit with his nose, tongue lapping at your cunt until he has you shaking under him, which honestly doesn't take long... his tongue is inexperienced but he knows how to use it, dragging his tongue along your slit to capture all your arousal once you cum under him <3

once you recover, the both of you let out simultaneous giggles, and you pull him close to you, resting your head on his shoulder... he's the little spoon tonight 🤭 whispering in his ear that it's always been him for you, there's no other option in your mind, and look, he's all yours now <3

[a0random0gal]

If you had the chance to change something about the dance of the dragons (TV show or book), what would it be? For example, how a character dies, which team a house is on,or an entire character personally. How would you change it to make the story better, in your opinion?♥️🖤💙💚

Ohh anon i've got a list.

When it comes to the tv show there are a few choices the writers made that just don't sit right with me.

Laenor

I do like the characterization they went for, he's a pretty cool dude who really loves his weird, dysfunctional family. What I really don't like is how they handled his death.

See I truly can't stand it when a character is sugar coated just because they're the protagonist and thus must be righteous and always objectively correct.

So to witness the writers white wash his murder, having him flee to essos instead of being killed by Rhaenyra pisses me off. I get that after showing them being good friends it would be very odd to have her kill him.

But that's the thing, they should have opted for a more ruthless Rhaenyra in the first place!

Laenor's death in the books (at least for me) was the first instance of Rhae Rhae making morally wrong choices in order to pursue her ultimate goal. It was compelling! Here she just takes the easy way out, without having to make a tough choice.

Also his survival really fucks her up when you really think about it. Now all her sons are bastards since her marriage to Daemon isn't valid, and for the upcoming season 2, how are they going to handle Addam and Seasmoke? Laenor is still alive, his dragon won't accept a new rider. This doesn't make any sense and just causes plotholes what the actual fu-

Sidenote: After Laenor's very moving speech on how he was done goofing off and was now willing to really step up for Rhaenyra and their family it's super strange to imagine him ditching them all immediately afterwards Lol.

Rhaenys

My gosh, where do I even begin with this woman?

She too is pretty cool at the start, but then episode 9 rolls around and I roll my eyes.

She's so hypocritical. She tries to shit on Alicent for "toiling in the service of men." When that's all she does in the goddamn story!

She wants Baela to get Driftmark, tells Corlys about it, he shuts off the whole plan cause he wants a kid who he's not even related to on the driftwood throne, and when she complains about it he dismisses her.

So what does feminist Rhaenys do about it?

She... submits to her husband, something she conveniently forgets about when talking to Alicent. My god. Just remove this entire exchange, it hurts to watch.

And the coronation scene, Jesus Christ! It was so cool in the books, why did they have to ruin it? Had they replaced it with something better I wouldn't have complained, but this is just, the worst.

Rhaenys shows how badass she is by.... Brutally crushing hundreds of small folks to death and almost slaughtering the greens.

Cool, cool, absolutely necessary. Thanks Sara.

And you know what's even more infuriating? When she flees to Dragonstone to inform Rhaenyra of all that happened. She says she didn't kill the greens cause she didn't wish to start a war. I'm sorry what?

That would have ended the war at the start! As glad as I am that Rhaenys didn't barbecue them it makes absolutely no sense!

If she had killed them there would have been no dance in the first place!

I hate these dumb show only moments. They needlessly complicated an already complicated story and just mess everything up.

There's probably other stuff I could rant on, like how Aegon was made a rapist sorely to make the audience think:

Oh look! The greens are so baad, they believe a rapist alcoholic douche should be in charge instead of our empowered dragon queen, they sure do suck!

Or how house Velaryon was disrespected and mistreated by D*emyra but still somehow decided to support Nyra's claim.

They didn't really have a motive to be greens though, so I think they should have stayed neutral. Their fervent black support makes no sense.

The writers really should have given them more reasons to back up the blacks or had their beloved queen treat them better so that their loyalty made more sense ( I mean holy hell I wonder how they will handle the two betrayers and Corlys's arrest lmao).

But other greens have already shat on these awful decisions and I won't beat a dead horse.

Book

When it comes to fire and blood I surprisingly have very little complaints, except of course, the Jaehaera situation.

My poor baby deserved better, I've made a post about it in the past

(where I ranted and said stuff I kind of regret now, don't post while very angry guys I don't recommend it)

tackling how the little queen was unnecessarily killed off and how her death genuinely adds nothing so why was it added? God I get upset just thinking about it lol.

Some people say George did it cause he needed Aegon's kids to be born after Viserys's, and apparently he couldn't fathom a married teen not having kids until her 20s, which is veery weird.

The more plausible theory is that he got rid of her cause he wanted more Velaryon queens to showcase how close they used to be to the Targs.

Which is something I had understood already thanks to Alyssa, the sea Snake and all the Velaryons who were masters of ships but whatever.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Kinou Nani tabeta. aka My Heart is Full aka I suck at titles

Let me just say before anything else. This is not a recap or a review. This is me feeling the need to write down my feelings because they are pouring out of me. This is more a personal note than anything else so skip it if that's not your thing.

I always watch this show on saturday mornings, with my coffee and breakfast, because it gives me a boost for the weekend. And I wanted to postpone the final episode as much as possible but I just couldn't. I gave in.

Second FYI. This will probably be incoherent and a mess because that's how I feel. Also, this fucking menopause (surgical, don't give me too many extra years) is really making a mess of my emotional state this week, so I'm all over the place. Also I might've had some wine. Also this may be a bit long. I think that's it.

How I got here

So, I've loved cinema since I was like 7. (yeah I'm going really back in time) Because my mom like films, she dragged to the cinema even when I was way too young for whatever was on. [ Fun Side note- The first film that I saw in the cinema was Bram Stoker's Dracula, when I was like 6, and my mum got into an argument with the cinema employee because" I am her mother, and I'll decide what she can or can't watch"and so I did watch it.]

So I always loved watching films, talking about them and eventually went to uni to learn how to make them. During that time, I went through a phase (which happened to a couple other people in my school) where I kinda got emotionally detached from the stories. I could only see the camera angles, the lighting, the editing, etc.

When I was done with uni, and had decided that editing was my favourite thing I started doing a bit of work in editing, mostly online stuff and a couple of ads in London, and 3 years later I was done. Obviously there were life factors and health factors that contributed to this, but still I left it all behind.

Then, I quickly went back to being able to watch stories with all the emotions.

Let's skip forward to present day.

Kinou Nani Tabeta? feel in my lap by way of my very first BL. Seven Days. I watched those films and went through all the emotions and needed more. More of that serotonin please.

So I got in research mode and that's when I found this wonderful world of BL and eventually this show.

Now, a little bit more about me, just in case you aren't sick of me talking about myself. I'm not a jolly person. If you asked anyone that knows me irl, they would describe me as someone who always thinks the sky is falling. However, I also love a lot of things deeply, and when it comes to things that I can't find a word big enough for it I call it magic. So I'll use it here.

Kinou Nani Tabeta? is magic.

If this show was a meal then the absolutely right ingredients were found, they were put in the hands of the best cooks and everything was prepared with love and care. This show that I love, was put together by people who love it, and couldn't not make it. This is what I believe. It's my kind of faith.

I've seen so many shows, I've loved so many of them, a lot of them touched me deeply. But only a few touched me this way.

When there is love in something, real care and empathy in the making of something, you can feel it, I believe. And I feel it so much watching this show. I get emotional just writing this.

I wish I could thank every single person that made this show possible. And we could argue all day about the quality of a show, its actors, writers or directors. I could argue why my favourite show is better than your favourite show, and why your show is more important than my show, and why that show failed and another succeeded. I will not argue about the importance of this show and my faith is unshakable.

Maybe because I love food so much and in my life my love filled moments were always around food, I connected at first with Kenji, because his reactions to food resemble mine. But this season Shiro stole my heart and soul. His quiet but profound way of loving Kenji made cry more than any sad scene ever could. And onions and chicken thighs will forever have deeper meaning in my kitchen. These two characters are so well written and so well acted, the words are so layered and so meaningful, that it's a miracle to me that it exists and that I got to watch it.

I'm sure other people will write much better posts about this show, and will probably be better (at a hell of a lot more on point) at writing about all the amazing things that this show has done. But I'm an emotional wreck and I could only write from a personal place today.

I'll be rewatching this show in it's entirety soon, because the evolution of these characters, Shiro specially, was such a joy to witness.

If you read this far, thank you. 💜

I am humbly asking for guests to help me again.

𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬:

What could have gone wrong from a light-hearted story that you have longed for? A loving boyfriend who will always be by your side no matter what and friends and family who are always supportive of your life decision. And that is precisely why you start to feel disconnected. A loving boyfriend who will always be by your side, no matter what could ever happen to you. 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐬: Comedy-Romance, Psychological-Drama

I am not sure if this serves as an interesting synopsis, I want to pinpoint it all on Blue first because he is the magnet here ;) That aside, I am also torn between setting the pace of this story. Should it start light-hearted comedy with the main story slowly creeping in? Won't it bore the reader? Comedy romance is the original idea for the webtoon. But I am also a no-good writer. I don't know how to start it with an interesting conflict while making the reader feel intact with the characters :[

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞:

It starts with one of the protagonist's friends making a remark about how Blue was helping her with her assignment. Surprisingly, Blue could complete the assignment despite never being in the Chemistry Department.

The protagonist's friend made a remark about how Blue was considered as a prodigy by everyone in the university. Hearing this, the protagonist was not pleased with the idea of Blue helping someone despite not knowing his reasons to do so.

"If it displeases you so much, then I'll have to do something about it no?"

A week later, the protagonist's friend took a college leave and was soon said to be hospitalized because of a fracture. From this on, the reader is aware of Blue's violent tendency to solve problems with the addition of a lovesick tendency.

What do you guys think? Do you think this is a good start to engage the reader with the story? While this may be a good start, there might be a better idea from you guys. The time setting is around the first year of university and please take note to not OOC the protagonist (Take the protagonist as your classic plain-ass protagonist with no interests or life lol). That aside, I am not confident continuing the story after the prologue. I also wish to write a prologue that is somehow connected to the epilogue so I might change this idea into some sort of chapter 1?

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:

Blue (Protagonist's Lover)

Protagonist

Lemon (Protagonist's Close Friend)

Grape (Blue's Close Friend)

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:

Vellanie (Protagonist's Sister)

Eleanor

While Vellanie and Eleanor do not help engage the reader, I do not want to remove them from the story at all as they are indeed, important to the Protagonist and Blue's Lore. I plan on making them appear even more when the reader is too sucked into the story already... will this work?

Your feedback is very much needed, thank you so much (sobs) Please help me...

"you are like a mewling helpless baby you are standing in the rain and i am offering you a goddamn umbrella and you throw it on the floor and yell at god to abolish rain"

Thank You for your contributions to the world. This was beautiful. Please. Yes. Goodness gracious.

(temporarily making this my pinned post. old pinned here)

ah is that post going around again. god fucking dammit.

i don't think you should actually be proud of me for what was a really meanhearted post. that was me being pissy and unnecessarily hostile to somebody i didn't know. it was clear by that point that OP knew all the settings stuff, and was just looking to kvetch harmlessly to her mutuals.

i want you to please imagine the tables are turned, you make some petty complaint like "damn water bottles are so fucking expensive here" and then some rando says "um, you use WATER BOTTLES? but the ENVIRONMEMT?" and then for the next N months of your life your notes are flooded with fuckos you've never met telling you how much you suck for using 1000 water bottles a day, get the fuck off tumblr, kill yourself. how would this make you feel? is that a situation you would wish on yourself?

the fact that i can write a memorable dunk does not make me right. it does not make dunking the way to change people's minds, spread joy, or achieve whatever else u may actually find important in life.

not to be too serious but. anarqueeen is 100% funnier than me and a better writer than I am. I think the only reason people like my part of the post is because it gives you an excuse to feel that pleasant-but-toxic feeling of justified anger and superiority at her. that's a deeply disrespectful thing for me to do to her. (it's also disrespectful to the reader; it intentionally inflames their anger or pettiness, making them more likely to be petty or mean as well.) I wish i hadn't made that reblog, I am not gonna act like that in the future, and I would ask you not copy my behavior in that post.

#op could turn off reblogs on that post and has chosen not to so I don't feel too bad abt its spread but like #yknow. this was not in line with how i would like to act. #to be clear this isn't a criticism of you for enjoying the rb or sending in the ask--how can I judge people for reblogging it. i made it #but this is where my feelings sit on it now. I understand if that's not what you were hoping for when you just wanted to send an e-high-fiv #thanks for the ask! #<- is my ask tag

Hi,

You probably don't remember me, but I'm an anon that more than one year ago after moving to tumblr, sent you an ask telling you how much I appreciated your writing. You were having a rough time with twitter negativity at the time like me and you answered saying that my ask cheered you up. It was one of my fondest moments in the fandom

I'm really struggling rn with the situation, I can't even get angry, I'm just heartbroken. I found so much comfort in his streams and more importantly this community, like nothing I've ever felt in any fandom. The entire reason I entered the fandom was because of the fanworks that the fanbase created, they were so good. I loved sbi and cwilbur. When I think of past videos or streams my brain physically can't wrap around everything that's come out.

I feel like an idiot, but I'm so grateful that you and a lot of other writers don't wish to delete your works for the fandom, and I wish for you to know just how much comfort you brought me and other people with your writing, and I want to be able to read it again in the future. It hurts so much that people probably won't be writing sbi again, probably more then anyhting else, but at least we won't lose what was already there.

Thank you for for being my favorite writer and for giving a space for people to talk about their feelings, sorry if this was too much, I hope for the best in your future, take care of yourself

Oh anon <33 I'm so sorry you're struggling so much. I get it, I'm completely heartbroken too. this sense of community is something I've never experienced so intensely in any other fandom before. I've never had an audience like this in any fandom before. It's such a special place for me and having it ripped away so quickly hurts.

It's like there's a millisecond delay in my brain. If I think of sbi, I get almost happy for a moment. then I remember. and it fucking sucks.

I never like deleting my old writing and try to avoid it at all costs. if I really didn't want a work associated with me anymore, I'd orphan it. I have old stories in my google drive from 2014 still. and even if I wasn't nostalgic for my own past writing, I know my writing brings so many people comfort and I'd never take that away.

I'm just glad I can be a space for people to work through their feelings. it makes me feel a bit better about this whole situation if just talking through some of this stuff with you guys helps you feel better. This wasn't too much at all, don't worry. make sure to take care of yourself anon <3
