#do you guys remember how fucking intense cherik whump was like jesus fucking christ

[mearchy]

I used to read a lot of really really dark sad whump fics pretty much exclusively. Characters getting absolutely mentally and physically annihilated in the worst, most soul-crushing circumstances possible. Lots of hurt no comfort. Lots of apocalypses. Over the past five or six years, I’ve turned to reading mostly stories about characters getting dogs and having adventures with them, or growing old together, or escaping bad circumstances against all odds. Fix-it AUs. Slice-of-life fics. I’m not necessarily a happier person. I think I just value those stories more than I did. Something something the dystopia is here something something wisdom comes with age. Dykwim

#this is also true for writing #my writing used to be DARK #dead dove do not eat type shit #and now it is literally physically impossible for me to write fics #with unequivocally sad endings #there always has to be hope #some light in the darkness #some humor or self aware satire. #it’s frustrating but something about it is like… okay. #i’m at a place in my life where i need to create things that don’t end badly #and that’s okay. #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #x men #cherik #do you guys remember how fucking intense cherik whump was like jesus fucking christ #magneto #mormor #bbc sherlock #doctor who #the old guard #star wars the clone wars #star wars #good omens
