PSA I am taking the week to do a thorough edit of WBITD.
The first like 12 chapters literally came out of me like a wrecking ball of elriel fury bursting from my heart initially. Just needs some tidying, nothing major- grammer correction, etc. Just a note in case you have downloaded, there will be minor changes. It will be in final shape by the end of the week, and I will also post 21 by Sunday. There will be additional references in the footnotes too and maybe more visuals.
Also a side note that this story, as of Ch.20, would be 314 pages if printed into a bound novel. And it's only a little over halfway finished.
I have not written anything besides my own journal before this.
Who writes absolutely nothing for 30 years and then writes a 600-700 page pseudo novel in 2 months because faeries?
Tumblr media
i blame azriel.
i don't know who i am anymore.
anyway this community is rad, the haters can burn.
thanks to everyone who has read.

Request is closed(dead)
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
—EVENT—
!¡Masterlist!¡
RULES + info about me
NEW IMPORTANT RULE: PLEASE TELL ME IF UR A MINOR OR NOT IN YOUR REQUESTS, I DONT WANNA TRUAMATIZE ANOTHER ONE 😭 (bc either I forget to put all warnings/correct tags or put some smut or slightly sus pictures.) ゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。
Edit: advanced apologies. I absolutely do not know how to lock my NSFW fics. And I might not have put specific warnings like, I put some bad words in it. I'm really sorry, I'll still try my best, tho.
Edit: Hello! Sorry if you found one of my posts, and it didn't have credit to the pictures. Sorry, sometimes I forgot while writing to put credit, and since every time I post, I delete the pictures. Storage problems 🥲
I'm so very, VERY shitty with my Grammer 💔
Please be very specific with your ask bc I'm a dumb little shi- I mean a bit...behind in my brain. Like what theme: angst, fluff, etc.
I prefer if you ask for part 2 in the requests and saying which writings, but doing in the comments is just fine.
I DO NOT PROOF-READ OR STUFF LIKE THAT. AM VERY SORRY 🥲
Draft limits: 10.
I usually make the reader doesn't have a gender/specific gender or just do both genders. I also like dom reader so ahem...so like yeah, if you wanna do like (???) x reader and you don't want a dom one then tell me :D
(Again, I do mostly dom reader but can do sub reader <3)
I do some stuff like yandere, obsession behavior, etc. But reminder: I do not support this in real life. Just in fiction. I hope you understand, I'm not like bad or anything 😅
I've seen some people who like a character but they are like younger than 18 and either they don't know it or they look older for their age. So I'll allow it as long as the character isn't too young, like under the 15's, and I'll gladly age them up for any reason, although in some cases , I might decline so I apologize for that.
What Fandom I do
I can do anyone or something. Oh, even manga/manwha/manhua
But the fandom I'm mostly familiar with is:
1. Genshin
2. Obey me
3. Honkai star rail
4. Hazbin hotel
5. Jujutsu kaisen
6. MHA (I'm not actively in it, but I still kinda know most stuff in it, and I'd still do any requests from it).
But again, I can do anything. Well, anything I'm able to do properly.
(Unless you ask me about a character that exists, but I don't know them. Might take a while BUT!! I'll still do it because you guys are my lovely requesters ♡)
What I do not allow
I honestly don't know yet. No one has requested anything I don't allow. (Except for my friends, but I forgot what they said so...)
Warning:
This is an like idk, a blog that has 18+ things. If you don't feel comfortable, I'm sorry. I have some fluff in here, but uh... yeah- anyway, my super close (and some what hºrny) friends have access to my account, so if there's a post about anything weird or something, I swear it's not me. (I hate to admit it, but they're scary, and if you're reading this, my friend, please stay from me. I have holy water, you demonic, spawn of Satan, and uhhhh scary chihuahua lookin thing. <3)
.
.
.
.

.
. . . Anyways I welcome you with open arms.

Do you have any tips for writing?
Writing advice depends very heavily on the person receiving the advice and what they're writing, but I do have some general stuff. I've actually already given some writing advice on other blogs!
Tips for Writing Some Accents
Foreshadowing and Motifs
Resolution to Arguments
Tips for Writing Action Scenes
As for general rules I live by when writing, here's a few basic ones off the top of my head (below the cut so I don't annoy anyone)
Please keep in mind that this is a hobby, and these are what help me. So don't crusade me if you think some of this is wrong (also I'm writing this before bed, so sorry for any bad grammer)
Always have an outline. I don't care who you are or what you're writing, always have something to work off of, no matter how small. I use bulleted lists of scenes I want to happen and key features in them, like certain quotes or emotions. It can be that simple.
If you're struggling with how to start a scene, start with a sensation that matches the vibe your trying to go for. Isolation? Cold, hollow. Anger? Burning, tenseness. I always struggle with those first few words, so describing the feeling I'm trying to go for often helps me
At the bear minimum you should have five steps in the process of writing. Outline, drafting, the first read over/editing(focusing on sentence structure and readability), Grammer corrections and finally the second read over. I would suggest allowing for at least 24 hours between Grammer corrections and the second read over, though you can skip that wait time if you have someone else pre-read it for you [which I would highly recommend if you can]
Your first draft is for fuck ups. If you think something sounds weird don't worry about fixing it, worry about getting your words down. The second step of editing will fix anything that might be out of place.
Don't say what someone is feeling out right all the time, instead describe it. They aren't angry, they feel instead as if they would rain fire on everyone around them. They aren't sad, they instead were caught in a whirlwind of tears that they hid behind glossy eyes. Sometimes it's okay to simply say what they felt, but other times it can feel more vivid when you describe it!
Those are all for now! I have plenty more, but I don't want to rant to long. Hope this helped!

Conversations with ChatGPT
(Me:) Excellent. Please edit the following journal entry for precision of language and grammer. Today, the sun seems to hang lower in the west. I gazed across the water at the raging tropical orb sinking into the horizon, draining the surrounding world of color. "name!" name called; smooth anger glided across the sand to strike me in the heart. I always feel this way when he is angry, no matter if he is angry with me or not. The harsh edge of his voice betrays the sting which is hidden. Or rather, just out of his sight - it would be plainly seen if he had turned around, to see what had stung him instead of lashing out at me. ChatGPT

Today, the sun appears to hang lower in the west. I gazed across the water at the tropical orb, ablaze and sinking into the horizon, draining the surrounding world of its vibrant colors. "Name!" Name called out; a smooth undercurrent of anger glided across the sand, striking me in the heart. I consistently experience this sensation when he is upset, irrespective of whether the anger is directed at me or not. The harsh edge of his voice reveals a hidden sting, or rather, one just out of his sight. It would be plainly visible if he turned around to see what had stung him instead of impulsively lashing out at me.

You
That was really quick, and really good! Did you learn to edit by practicing, or did you learn to edit by reading certain materials? ChatGPT
ChatGPT
I don't learn or practice in the traditional sense. My responses are generated based on patterns and information present in the data I was trained on. My training involved exposure to a diverse range of internet text, including well-written content. This exposure allows me to generate responses that often exhibit grammatical correctness and coherence.
I don't have personal experiences or a learning process like humans, but my ability to generate text is a result of the vast amount of data I was trained on. If you have more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to let me know!

i choose to use the word type theere because this isnt wrting. this is just typing. infact its not even typing because im still thinking as im writing this its the wrttten down equivalent to talking. there doesnt seem to be a word for that. not one that i can think of anyway but there should be. were unable to edit our conversations the words that come out of our mouth when were talking to another person which is what im doing here ineffect. im speaking to the millions and millions of people. maybe not millions because tumblr is a dying medium. like all the good ones. except mybe facebook. i’m glab ffacebook is dying. that what everyone says anyway although i find it hard to believe because i can still see mark zuckerberg’s smug little billionare face evrywhere . shit i just miss spelled everywhere and i had to physically restrain myself from correcting it. but no i wont. i cant. because ive aleady said it. ive already said it to every tumblr user. is there a verb for that? fuck is it even a verb? or is it a noun? i cant remember. dead white men dead white men. who cares i dont. im brown and im very much alive. i cant edit the words that come out my mouth so i refuse to edit the words that are coming ut of my hands. i like that. im a craftman whi works with his hands a nd words are my trade. shit i should have said tradesman. well i can say it now. because thats what i would have done if i were saying these words. but i dont say words. i just write them. and if they were good enough to come out my hands then theyre good to be read as is. definietly not good enough to be published on a actual physical paper ofcourse because that costs money. (ignore that a) and resourse are finite etc etc. i studied economics so i should know. but publishing on the internet is free. and we like free. everyone likes free. so that what i’m doing. im starting to lose my train of thaough here. so perhaps i should stop for the day, but i cant for some reason. and i just read back over what i wrote. im not sure if i can do that because when you lose your train of though in real life youre unable to physically go through it word by word to…find it? do you find yoyr train of thought? that really doesnt sound right but it must be. what else could be the oppisite of losing your train of thought. dead white men and theire proverbs. who needs them. i felt pride and being able to remember the word proverb there. but i shouldn’t!!!! fuck english grammer and its impreialistic agendas. i refuse it and i aim to use this…blog..oh god that was painful to write, because i usually hate bloggers, theyre always trying to sell something to you. and yet they none of them look like willy loman, who is the only salesman i’ve ever felt any kinship towards. a literary refernce there to make myself feel good, even if it was a cliched one. but yes i suppose this is a blog even if id like to tell myself its not. but ive just decided to make it long enough to no longer be considered a blog. im just going to keep adding to it. after all the whole point of a blog is to have a point. yech that came out terribly but i cant edit it! oh battery running low. okay okay okay think. and…i cant of course…because that how it always work. but i can stop typing. because i can stop talking. theoretically. but i cant reread. and im losing that fucking train again.

[OLD AND MAY BECOME NON-CANON LATER ON] Got some short stories for ya’ll!
After much struggle i managed to think of some more lore based prompts for some short stories! They’ll be under the cut!
One of a conversation between Helsknight and EvilXisuma, the other of an interaction between TFC and GeminiTay! What can i say im a sucker for these two. The stuff is only slightly proof-read by myself so sorry for any mistakes in grammer or if things sound weird lol
Anyway, I hope ya’ll enjoy! And if i need to add any tw’s just say! I dont think i will though! Long post under the cut though
EX&Hels have a conversation
“So let me get this straight,” Helsknight sat up in his seat and leaned on the table between the two” You’re not considered a hels hermit at all?” Evil Xisuma rolls his eyes but chuckles at the other, he doesn’t blame him for not knowing, hell the only ones who probably knew were him and Grian’s little buddies.
“No, I am not a hels hermit like you. But, I work very similarly. Me personally, I’m the axolotl’s evil clone according to my code. But, and I can’t speak for the others, I still fill up the role of why a hels is created.” Helsknight slowly blinked at the other and rose an eyebrow.
“What is that supposed to mean exactly?” Evil X let out a snort at the other’s question.
“Well basically, Hels exist for one reason, to keep the gods, or hermits as we know them, in check. Granted they’re all too nice to do anything we’d do, but the point still stands. Hels are here to counteract the hermits, and the Axolotl doesn’t have a hels per say because I exist. But that’s not stopping the void from making a hels version if need be.” Helsknight leaned back and crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes at Evil X.
“Ok, so because you already existed, the void didn’t make a counterpart for the admin. But what do you mean it could make another? Why would we need a third Xisuma?” Evil X tapped his chin as he thinks of what he should say.
“Well, let’s just say the void has already planned for that” Helsknight could feel the shit-eating grin the other was giving him. But Evil X gestures to another person in the room. Helsknight, begrudgingly, decided to look, and see’s what the other was talking about. There was a turtle Xisuma sitting at a bar, but he looked almost vacant, like an NPC almost.
“Now, I’ve never talked to that guy, and based on the interactions they’ve had with others, he’s entirely just a placeholder, an NPC ready to be coded into action.” Helsknight turned back to Evil X who was looking at him now.”But unless something happens to me, I keep the role of a ‘hels counterpart’ even though I’m not a hels.” Blinking, helsknight picked up his drink, downing the rest of its contents, this was a very weird conversation they were having but, informative. Then something struck him.
“You said something about others earlier” Evil X feigned innocence and confusion, making helsknight growl.
“Earlier this conversation! You said ‘ But, and I can’t speak for the others, I still fill up the role of why a hels is created’. There are others who aren’t technically hels hermits on the server?” Evil X snorted then started laughing. Helsknight slammed his hands on the table and stood up.
“No! I’m serious! Who the hell are the others?!” After Evil X got done with his laughing fit, he pretended to wipe away some tears.
“You really are dense my friend” before the other could reply, Evil X continued” The only ones I personally know of, are actually Grian’s-”
“You said that using plurals, does Grian seriously have 2?” Helsknight looked at the other bewildered as he nodded.
“Indeed he does my friend. I don’t entirely understand it myself. One calls themself NpcGrian, or NPG for short, the other one calls themself Robot Grian or RG for short. And between us, RG is definitely the eviler and smarter one of the two. He’s probably the one considered the hels version.” Helsknight slumped back in his seat and rubbed his temple, letting out a heavy sigh.
“Alright, to get away from that confusing topic, you said hels were made to counter the gods?” Evil X nodded.
“Yee-p” popping the p at the end, Evil X leaned forward.” All the gods being together in one space can be seen as quite a dangerous predicament, and if they ever decided to team up and rise up for some reason, no one would know before it’s too late. So to try and stop that, keep the gods on their toes and aware, the hels were made. You were one of the first to become sentient and seek out your counterpart actually”
Helsknight looked at the other for a moment then realized something. Something that didn’t settle right with him.
“How do you know all of this information? I’m pretty sure not even Xisuma knows this crap.” Hels rose an eyebrow as the other’s expression got darker behind the mask he wore.
“Let’s just say, being locked in the void for ages gives you some free time. And the ability to look through your and your clone’s codes, even though I was never able to edit them.” Huh, well that made sense.
TFC helps Gem out/aka being a god is overwhelming
    Sometimes, to really appreciate the world you live in, you just gotta walk around. Taking in the sights of what the world holds and what your fellow hermits have made. And honestly, TFC is usually blown away by how talented the hermits are. He may not be much of a builder himself, but he’s happy they’ve kept him along the way nonetheless. Little ol’ miner TFC, walking amongst godly builders, figuratively and literally.
    Sometimes on TFC’s walks, he’ll come across other hermits, not often, but it’s always pleasant when he does. TFC admits, he should get out to talk to the others more, but he can’t help it. The mines make him feel at home. But today, walking into one of the newer hermits areas, he had a bad feeling in his gut.
    Deciding to stray from the path TFC decided to look around the area, a bit more in dept. And low and behold, once getting close to one of the new hermits custom trees, he heard soft, stifled crying. Like they were trying to cover it up. Eyes softening, TFC went over to the home next to this wonderful tree and knocked, before letting himself peek inside.
    GeminiTay sat in the corner, her head snapped up and it was obvious how overwhelmed and tired she looked. TFC gave a slight smile and walked inside, closing the door gently. Gemini watched tensely as TFC walked over, his pickaxe he used as a cane clicking with every step. But, TFC sat down next to her and softly asked.
    “Would physical touch help this situation or worsen it?” Seeing Gemini’s tears starting to well up more, TFC opened his arms, offering her a safe space. And she took it. Gemini scrambled to get up and hug the other. She didn’t know why his presence felt so...comforting, but it did, and once she started the hug, the floodgates were let loose. She couldn’t hold back her tears even if she tried.
    TFC held the young girl close, gently rubbing circles into her back as her whole frame shook and twitched. TFC did notice the leaves that moved like butterflies flying about in the home. He semi-watched them as he comforted the hermit in his arms, taking notes on the situation.
    Once TFC heard the girls’ cries soften and as her body became less shaky, he decided to start talking.
    “I understand if you’re too overwhelmed to talk right now, but was this panic caused by some aspect of your godly nature?” TFC waited patiently, and when he felt a soft nod on his shoulder he let out a little sigh.
    “You are one of the newest gods in general, not even to the server, have you been taught anything more than the basics yet?” a small shake of her head.”So you’re not yet in tune with who you are and the powers you possess, and due to that, something within you snapped, and you started hearing noises or voices, am I correct?” TFC could feel Gem tense like he had just read her mind, but she gave a soft nod. TFC looked around at the leaf butterflies, more seem to have gathered.
    “Are the voices still present? Have they gotten any louder or more intense?” With the soft nod, TFC was starting to understand a bit more. Gently sitting Gemini up, he made the corner they were in into a cozy one full of blankets and pillows. 
    Gemini then watched, rubbing her slightly puffed-up eyes, as TFC started to gather the leaf butterflies. Once he got a good amount he gently set them free outside. And the more he let go, the less overwhelmed Gemini felt. Once most of the creatures were out TFC made his way back over and sat across from Gemini.
    “Ready to talk?” Gemini nodded, sniffling and wiping away any stray tears. Taking a deep breath Gemini starts talking.
    “So...So I was just doing my normal routine, today I decided to do some enchanting. But then my tree, my /tree/ started talking to me and I got confused. So I went over and put a hand on the tree.”Gemini paused, breath hitching again. TFC gently held one of her hands, reassuring her to take her time. After catching her breath, Gem continued.
    “And..And then I...And then I heard all these voices and cries. Some were asking me for help, some were..thanking me? Some were crying, some cheering...But they all came at once and I couldn’t shut them off. Then I started hearing more despair than anything else and I... I couldn’t do it. My body got all fuzzy! And my eyes got blurry but different from tear blur. I felt my body...change. And so I ran in here. And I only started to feel my body go back to normal shortly before you came..” Gem panted softly when she was done, her tears back and starting to fall again. She was looking down at her feet.
    But when she felt a soft big hand on her cheek, whipping away her tears, she looked up. TFC gave her a gentle smile, a reassuring one, and, it honestly helped her more than she would have thought.
    “That my dear was your body being forced into its godly form. Every god has one, but most prefer not to be in them, as they can be taxing after long uses. But they’re nothing to be afraid of. You just went into it unwillingly.” Gemini nods softly, following along so far.”And if you would like, I can help you learn how to go into it and out of it, at will. I’ll do it with you.”
Gemini thought about it for a while. She didn’t know how long, but TFC never rushed her into deciding, only waiting patiently, giving her time to think. But, if she learned how to control that form, maybe it would be less frightening if this ever happened again. Gem then looked at TFC and gave a quick nod.
“Yea, ok. I, I want to learn how to control this...godly form of mine. But you’ll do it with me right?” TFC nodded and scooted so that they bot sat criss-cross, knees touching each other. TFC then gently held both of her hands.
“Ok, to start off with, think of why you became a god, and what you’re the god of. Think of what that means to you.” Gem nodded, closing her eyes as she held TFC’s hands. Furrowing her brows a bit Gemini thought.
Thought of the event that lead her to be a god, why she did what she did. She thought of what that event meant to her and why she would do it again. And she felt the tension in her shoulders released. Gem then thought of what it meant to be the goddess of the forest, what the responsibility and future actions might hold for her.
“Good, you’re doing great” TFC’s voice rang through her ears.”Now hold onto that feeling, clutch onto it, cherish it. Once you’ve done that, let go. Let yourself feel your body change, let it morph and melt into something new.”
Taking one more deep breath, Gem followed his instructions. The feeling her ‘job’ gave her, the hope she had for herself, and so on, she held it close to her heart, and let herself stop caring about the mortal plane for a bit. And she felt herself change. Like what happened earlier, but less jarring and harsh. She felt her body almost melt, felt it slither around while being on one spot. The feeling wasn’t unpleasant like it was before. It felt like shifting over in bed, something familiar.
“There we go, you’ve done it, you can open your eyes.” Cautiously, Gem opened her eyes, and instead of being met with the soft grandpa from before, there was a whole new person. They looked like TFC but also now. They had more sharp edges and the particles of different ores around them were very present, and they radiated the energy of a god. He reached over and cupped her cheek.
“How do you feel?” Gemini thinks, she looked down at her new self, realizing how much bigger the two were now. She looked at all the leaf butterflies, not being as scared of them now. She felt power coursing through her, the whispered of the plants and tree’s outside. But now that she’s not in her panicked state, it was a lot more comforting. Gem felt a soft smile form over their lips. Looking up at TFC she felt warmth in her chest.
“Now that I’m not panicking, it feels nice. It feels warm, and I feel stronger.” TFC nods, looking pleased.
“Now, let’s go back to normal shall we?” Gem nods and puts her head down, closing her eyes again.
“Now, recognize your form, recognize the power coursing through you. Hold that feeling, and imagine yourself tucking it away for later. Let yourself relax and let your body morph once more” And once again, Gem tried her best to follow along.
And next time she opened her eyes, the normal TFC sat in front of her. Looking down at herself, Gem saw her she was back to normal. Smiling Gem leaped up to hug TFC. Hugging back TFC gently pet her hair.
“Now, let’s get you to bed, You need some rest after all that. Tomorrow we’ll talk more about this stuff ok?” 
And with that, TFC and Gem got comfy in the small comfort fort TFC had made and Gem fell asleep. During the afternoon Bdubs came to see gem, but finding her and TFC sleeping, he just smiled fondly and closed the door quietly. Informing the server not to disturb the two for the rest of the night and left the sleeping duo to rest

Living the Dark academia life
Egyptian student edition
Locking yourself in your room for hours to analyze and study Ahmed Shawqi's poems.
Laughing at a pun present in the poem (also, known as "تورية ". Pronounced "Taw-re-ya") , just to follow it up with crying because of how hard the Analytical Grammer is.
Buying second hand items from tiny businesses present in flats.
Not being able to afford a dark academia aestheticaly pleasing wardrobe or having a full say in what you want to get because you still live with your parents.
Getting yelled at because you had "way too many" cups of qahwa/ready made coffee (qahwa is Arabic coffee. Ready made coffee like Nescafé).
Romantacizing studying physics (or any "hard" subject) , and focusing on it so much that you forget to study the easy subjects and now you have a load of said left out subjects.
Not being able to give enough fucks about a colonizers language to have someone correct you , but also needing to study it because it will be added up at the end of the year with the rest of your subjects.
Wanting to learn coptic (or what's supposed to be your native language) but not being able to due to the little to no time that you've got and feeling very guilty with not being in touch with your ancestry.
Not being able to get in touch with your ancestry due to the lack of information about them and knowing little about them, causing you to feel guilty again.
Having an identity crisis because "who do I belong to??" (in my case, 'am an Arab, a Copt or should I identify with both? What about the white washed part of my family?? ')
Listening to Fairouz, Chopin and hozier (and /or anyone in between) , in the morning, with a cup of coffee.
Trying to comprehend the white folks running 1st world countries with 2 paramecuims for brains, in the morning. Just to shake the thought out, because who needs to give themselves a headache, when you can simply watch a 4 hour long Arabic session and cry afterwards.
I'm an Egyptian, who lives in Egypt . And most of the posts that I see in this format, are written by folks living in 1st world countries. And of course, I don't quite relate to them. Feel free to reblog and add more to this post :)

Curious minds want to know, how old are you? And when did you first get into writing? What made you want to start writing? Were you always this good? 😉
I’m grown grown.  Lol! I just earned my Auntie status! Most women are raised to want a man and kids but all I wanted was to be the cool Auntie who lived a cool life and be that person that everyone always wanted to have around. And I became that chick! Bucket list check!
I’ve been writing since I was a kid. I am a voracious reader. I started writing in journals first, then making my own little comic strips, and making up little plays. A friend introduced me to writing scripts a few years ago, but I  just wanted to be a history teacher and gave that up. I wrote a bunch of Black Western Epics and Black Supernatural books for fun, but never actively tried to publish. I just loved making shit up about people who looked like me. I also started collecting myths/legends/folktales from the Black Diaspora. Just really reading a lot. About 8 years ago I started running with a serious professional sci fi/fantasy writing crowd because I went to a lot of conventions and fucked with fandom heavily. I’m from San Diego so we have the biggest con here, Comic-Con International. Knowing pro writers gives you access, so I started sending stuff out. I’ve been published in books and magazines and I’m slowly getting back into screenwriting. I would like to create a Black supernatural/horror TV show, make a lot of money and go live on an island with a parrot that cusses and eat plantains, peas and rice, and tacos all the time. But now there’s a pandemic and that parrot has to wait. 
3 years ago I hated how Black women were treated/depicted in all media so I started reading Black romance books to see Black women being loved up and just to lift my spirits and embrace my natural freak nasty kinks. But I was kind of bummed because none of the big trade publications were selling the stuff I wanted to read. I discovered indie publishing on Amazon and read a bunch of stuff. I got it in my head that I wanted to write erotic romances for Black women. I went to a Black women’s writing conference down south and found my people! Black women who wrote smut in all genres! God is good. I needed a break from trying to publish sci fi/fantasy.  A lot of my writing friends were getting published and winning big sci fi awards (a lot are Black women too!). However, I just wanted to free write like I did as a kid. Writing for pro publications is a grind, especially working with editors and trying to hustle, and also dealing with rejection. I just really wanted to get back to writing for fun and joy and just telling a story with amazing Black women in it.
And then Black Panther happened.
T’Challa said “Hi” to Nakia.
M’Baku said “We have watched from the mountains...” to Wakanda.
And Killmonger said “I’m just feelin’ it” Then choked a bitch.
I was ready! *cue Elmo on fire with arms raised”
At first, I just wanted to tell N’Jobu’s story because no one had written it in the fanfics, and then I found a great excuse to write the stuff that I love: Black love, Black joy, Black eroticism/smut, Black women being the center of the universe. Bonus: I have no deadlines, I don’t have to line edit or be perfect for an editor or change anything that I don’t want. I can be melodramatic, cheesy, indulgent, give myself fan service, steal Black actors I love and make them the stars when the real world overlooks their beauty and talents. Extra bonus: I have fun again with writing while doing it.
I was always a good writer in my head. I never planned on being a writer, but I had to because no one else was writing what I wanted to read. I am very well-read in fiction and non-fiction, and I got tired of not seeing me. I say this all the time, Octavia E, Butler told us to write ourselves in. So I had to get random stories out of my head and get it on paper.
Writing these fics allows me to write like I did as a kid. I write and just post. I don’t correct anything. Mind you, I have gone back and read some of my stuff and said, “Sheesh, I should do a couple of spelling/grammer/ repeat words/phrases corrections on all this shit!” In my real life writing I do a lot of passes: Spelling checks, grammar checks, dialogue checks, re-writing, re-writing, re-writing...more re-writing. That’s what pros do. This would kill me writing fanfics. I just want to get the story out even though I do cringe when I see mistakes that my regular writing life would never let me allow to see the light of day. But I allow it in my fanfics because I’m tapping into joy and not trying to please an editor.
This is probably the opposite of what many fanfic writers aspire to. I know many springboard writing fanfics into a pro career. I know a few  BNF writers who have done that. I have sat with one literally eating chips as she wrote her next pro book that became a movie and tv series while we were shooting the shit about Comic con. Fanfic writers on this path work really hard to get their words perfect with Beta readers, and re-writing. They are learning the craft and how to write the thing. I love that.
But, me personally, chile I ain’t got time for that, I’m just trying to ease my anxiety. Black Panther was a balm for me. So when y’all read my stuff and see typos/ spelling mistakes and shit and think “Man, she should’ve gone over this to correct stuff, I’m over here doing a shoulder shimmy cuz I refuse to do none of that. I’se free! I can just write without my perfectionism anxiety.
I always give long ass answers during this pandemic. Thank you for your question. It’s more than you asked for probably!

Ok listen up y’all, strap yourselves in and sit back because I will now teach you a few lessons in creative writing
1. This might seem obvious but I’ll say it again because some people just need to hear it: KEEP WRITING. KEEP PRACTICING. It literally doesn’t matter how fucking bad it is or whether it’s your original work or a Gandalf x Obama fic, just W R I T E
2. Here’s sort of an ‘order’ in which I write my stories:
First draft. Forget every single rule of writing ever. Grammar? Out of the window. Sentence structure? Fucking unimportant. Physical descriptions? This is not the place. Setting the scene? L a t e r. Write the basic plot down that’s literally it (Just fyi, I do actually pay attention to that in my first draft, because I’m a fucking perfectionist and I try to take some work off the editing process this way but you literally just have to write the very basic plot out).
Time for physical descriptions of character and setting scenes. You can already pay attention to grammar and sentence structure, but you totally don’t have to, that’s what the next steps are for
REWRITE. Just pull up an entirely new document and rewrite your entire story; make it 120% better. I know this seems like a lot of work but it’s honestly so much better than just changing parts of your first draft. This is honestly the best writing advice I ever got, I’m not even kidding. In this step you should start paying attention to grammar, sentence structure etc. It’s important to think about how you want to make your sentences sound. Decide when it’s best to use long sentences, short sentences or a mix of both. Word flow is also important. You have to really think about the effect your sentences have. I also like to play with formatting but that’s another story altogether right now.
Edit the shit out of it. You are going to have to re-read your writing several times and that can take a long time, so plan ahead that editing will most likely take up most time. If there are scenes you’re not 100% satisfied with then change them up until you are. If there are any inconsistencies then get them out of the way. Once again, pay attention to sentence structure & word flow.
Final edit. Make little adjustments until your properly satisfied.
Boom there you go, bomb story.
3. Know that not all of your work is going to be great. Especially when it comes to older works. I myself am cringing myself to outer space and back when I read stuff just from even two years ago.
4. Learn some grammer rules. What I especially struggle with is dialogues and how to properly write them so they are gramatically correct. I try not to put too much thought in when I write my first draft. Another thing: don’t forget to hit enter when the scene changes, no one wants to read a huge block of text, interest is lost. That was something I used to do until like two years ago and my writing has greatly improved by simply doing that. Also hit enter whenever a new person is speaking, I also used to do that wrong.
5. Read. Reading other people’s writing can greatly increase the quality of your own if you pay attention to what they are doing. Now I’m not saying you have to immediately be on Stephen King or John Green level. But it will surely help.
6. Don’t worry too much about not being original. How many versions of the Hunger Games exist? Exactly, people are still gladly reading them.
That’s all I got for now, maybe I’ll add more if I come up with anything else :)

Hi! I have a question relating to AO3 if you know the answer. How does beta readers work on AO3? I often see fanfic writers talk about having a beta look at their story and I was wondering if there is some button you press to do that?
Hi there! There is no beta reader button on AO3 I’m afraid. When we fic authors talk about beta we generally mean people we’ve gotten to look over our work. I have a handful of friends I go to for editing help since they are better equipped for it than I am. It’s good to get a new set of eyes on a story to check over grammer and other issues!
So no button, but if you have one, a friend who also likes writing and/or fanfiction would be a great go to. I have a handful of friends that I go to to get my stuff looked over and they give some of the best feedback, with jokes to little errors I can correct! And these don’t have to be irl friends either, I have a few mutuals and online friends that will edit for me and I’ll edit for. I’m still learning but I am a firm believer in getting something looked over.
Hope this helped!

How to loosely gauge where you stand on the privilege scale.
Everybody has some sort of privilege over someone else. It doesn't make you a bad person to have privilege. What makes you a bad person, is not being aware that you have a privilege and criticizing those who have less privilege than you for calling you out on it. So here is a very loose way to find out how much privilege you have. Feel free to add more questions in the comments I'll add them in!
Create a small "staircase" by laying out 21 pieces of paper on the floor, or just 21 small objects to mark the steps. (Have extra in case you need to add as you go)
Start by standing by/on the middle one.
Ask yourself these questions:
Am I white? If yes, take two steps up the stairs. If not, take two steps back.
I am female. If not, take one step forward, if yes take one step back.
I am straight. If yes, take on step forward. If not, take one step back.
I am naturally thin/fit and have no difficulty finding my size in stores or seeing models and celebrities that have similar body types to mine. If true, take a step forward and if false, take one back.
I am christrian. If true, take one step up, if false take one step back.
I live, and always have lived, in a safe neighborhood where I felt no danger on a regular basis. If true, take one step forward. If false, take one step back.
I have never been discriminated against because of my race, religion, or sexuality. Discrimination meaning; in the workplace, school, unprompted on the streets etc. If true, take one step forward and if false, one step back.
I can walk down to the street during the day freely without fear of being called out or attacked. If true, take one step forward. If false, take one step back.
I have a caring and loving family. If yes, take one step forward. If not, take one step back.
I have access to fresh foods that aren't canned, bagged, or prepackaged regularly, and never had to wonder when my next meal would be. If true, take a step forward. If false, take a step back.
I have never been scared of/had my power, cable, water, or electricity turned off because of insufficient funds. If true, take one step forward. If false, take one step back.
My parents/grandparents offer to help/Currently help pay some of my bills or funding. If true, take a step forward. If not, take a step back.
I have never not had a warm bed to sleep in, or a roof over my head. If true, take a step forward and if false take a step back.
I have access to things like the internet regularly, and the ability to further and choose my education if I wished to. If yes, take a step forward, if not take a step back.
I am transgender. Of true, take a step back. If false, take a step forward.
The top of the staircase is success. The higher up you are the easier it's achievable, the less stairs you have to trudge up to get there. You should notice by now you're probably rotating between the same 3-4 steps. Or you're continuously moving forward, or continuously moving backwards. This is where you loosely stand on the privileged staircase. If you're at the top, you are very privileged. It doesn't mean life is perfect or you've never been sad, it just means society has no reason to hold you back, and true oppression will never happen. You have little to no steps to climb. If you're at the bottom you don't experience any privilege in today's society. You are forced to trudge up every step, through every barrier to even just see the top. If your still directly in the middle, you're more privileged than some, and less than others. You get the gist.
This is just to make you more self aware and understand that you don't have to have a perfect life to be privileged, that having privilege doesn't make you a bad person. It means you need to be aware of the privileges you have and how it effects those that DONT have the same ones. To grab their hands and say "you're a person like me, I'll support you in whatever you need to do. I understand I'm privileged and that somethings may be harder for you even if I don't understand it. So please lead the way so I know how to use my privilege to make this better for you. To be equals. You have the floor because I know nothing about what it's like. "
You do NOT put yourself on a pedestal and say "I'm more privileged I'll be their hero."
You do NOT treat them like a disease or that there is something wrong with them and they need help all the time.
You ask them what it's like, you LISTEN to what they have to say with all of your attention because in this time, you don't completely understand and you never will. They are strong, independent beautiful people who don't need saving. Many of them have climbed from the bottom of the steps to the top and deserve every fucking second of praise and reward they recieve. They just need support and friendship. They need RESPECT. They need you to gently grasp their hand as they pass you in the steps, give them a part on the back and say "you're so fucking strong keep pushing yourself." And by listening to their stories when they pause on your step to rest and sharing them as they are said to you word for word is the only way to ever even think of changing the staircase.
You can be angry with where you stand. I want you to be angry. I want you to scream and rage and cry and say "this isnt fair" and then SCREAM EVEN LOUDER. if youre at the top I want you to be angry. I want you to be so mad that you use what you have to understand those below you, o want you to be so mad that you jump off the fucking staircase and say "how the fuck do I break it?" If you're at the bottom I want you to say "SCREW this staircase" and climb the railing to your own success. I want you to find a way to climb without it. To say "Fuck the stair case" and soar because you have just as much potential as the person in front of you and deserve to live and be happy.
Maybe we can never change it. Maybe we are stuck on this stupid staircase, so you give up and ignore it all together. But if we do that we won't ever know if we can weaken the cement holding it together. We never will know if maybe part of the staircase gets cut off or someone gets a chance to hop up a step.
But the first step? (The most difficult for some) is to acknowledge where you stand, and do something about it.
Edit: since I got some feedback Id like to make a couple things clear.
This isn't an exact placement. It's a social exercise. It helps people humble themselves or become more self/socially aware. The act of taking a step forward while knowing someone has to take a step back or even WATCHING someone else take a step back is enough to make a person think. It simply gives you an idea that: "maybe this DOES negatively impact people" or "I take that for granted." It's not an exact place. Of course, if you wanted an exact place you'd need to be severely tested, create multiple staircases for individual topics and then do math to find the average of where you stand. That's not what this is about. It's the action itself.
I would also like to mention that this is just a very basic outline. You can take this game and alter it, use it for specific topics like jobs, mental health, lgbtq+ etc. It's all up to you the questions you ask. Whenever I play this game I always start asking random questions I've seen discussed in the media to see how things going on effect those around me. There will be a couple questions I add up there because they are good valid questions, you can also simply create more and ask yourself them in the moment. Just like how the real world is there are no set structures or rules, just a basic outline.
Also, someone decided to comment on my Grammer and how I worded the questions lmao. I really don't care because posts like these are just brain dumps. They're stuff I just write out quickly on my phone and document for my own sanity. I often don't have the time to sit an plan out brain dumps they just happen, and I have to post them within the time constraints I have. For example I had to write this in less than ten minutes. I also never reread brain dumps because then I end up deleting them. So trust me, I know the grammar isn't great for any of my brain dump posts but that's what they are, dumps. This is just something I do to help connect with people since I have a lot of communication issues and difficulty understanding people, thoughts etc. This game and my brain dumps are how I get through them.
Please, if you think of any good questions feel free to add them in the comments or reblog with more. Check for new questions in the comments.
Again, don't take this too seriously, it's a brain dump and very quickly written. I never expect any brain dumps to get attention, so I feel no need correct grammar or make sure everything is 100% perfect all the time. I just write and go so I can focus on my task at hand. It's that simple.
