Omg just here to say that you have at least one reader locked in if you do decide to write about your OCs and share because holy FUCK that sounds so good!! Also the worst part of writing historical fiction (at least for me the one time I did it) was pausing every 5 seconds to go “wait when was this term invented.” “did they have pasta back then.” “did anyone even understand what mental health was.” So I 100% feel your struggle there but also now I wanna read this!!

Thanks so much! It might just be a loose collection of slice-of-life scenes because what is plot, but I'll definitely say something on this blog if I end up posting anything! (Probably on AO3.) I'll hopefully have the brain space for it once I finish up the last few chapters of my current behemoth.

But yeah, it's a bit daunting writing historical fiction because if I want to immerse myself in a topic I don't know about I will usually spend time on hyperspecific subreddits or Instagram meme accounts, but it's kind of cool to have to dig honestly!

That's very relatable tho, the other day I was like wait how did people find out about music that's not on the radio or in record stores? Especially underground and diy music that wasn't in their local area? Did you have to wait for your cousin in LA mail a tape to you in Boston? Lmao I have since done more research into it but little/huge things like that make me realize how much there is to know!

Also I'm happy to talk about my OCs any time :)

#Also thank you so much to the people who sent me resources and info I can't wait to look through it after work today! 😊

three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they’re terrible)

Oh, I am not this kind of hater. If I don't like a song* I just don't like it, but I'm just so keenly aware that a song that isn't for me is probably for someone else and saying "that's so bad it shouldn't exist" in a fun-petty way don't sit right with me.

Also, I'm bad at remembering things I actually like; there ain't no damn way I'm going to remember things I don't like (and therefore do not engage with).

*this also applies to just about every other form of art

three favourite songs for sex

I wouldn't listen to music for that because I like to hear myself LOL (that's a half-joke... but only half) but if I were going to pick three songs that I think would sound good in like, a cinematic fictionalisation of a sex scene of mine, then:

Waving Goodbye, Sia (ok this might be like, hyperspecific mental association [this was in a Nicolas Winding Refn movie -> I'm attracted to NWR -> you get the drift] but also I think it's got a good groove)

Walk On By, Isaac Hayes (idk man it's not sexy per se but it's sexy to me! slow striptease time)

The Taste of Blood, SQÜRL (from Only Lovers Left Alive. which is a sexy movie. I rest my case.)

three songs that never fail to get you pumped up

Banye, Akwaeke

Götterdämmerung, Zeal & Ardor (wasn't I so good about not just shoving Z&A songs in every single answer. finally, have a Z&A song)

What's Up Danger, Blackway (from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, of course)

three favourite non-English songs

Yaad, Bloodywood (Hindi)

Senzafine, Lacuna Coil (Italian)

Dom andra, kent BUT ALSO the Ihsahn cover (Swedish)

sherlock. what is it's gender. what is their deal. speak your trutg

oh dear with the state of my blog its now hard to tell when people walk up to me and say sherlock if they mean dgs sherlock the og or any of the several others ive started talking about. we need to like. color code them. anyway im gonna talk about dgs sherlock bc hes the one im most likely to have proper thoughts on and then probably also do one for mostly just. like. the general concept actually thinking about it i do have many thoughts on Non-DGS Sherlock i dont know why i allowed myself to think i didnt . i just get caught up in the bimbo dad but i like the entire folder hes stored in

dgs first tho <333333

Sexuality Headcanon: gay. Just gay

Gender Headcanon: If i had to make 1 decision. genderfluid <3 Sherlock Holmes (DGS) can fit so much gender in her !!!!!!!!!

A ship I have with said character: *looks at my blog* *looks at my pinned post* um i think you guys know . already. the only one i have . do i need to say it

A BROTP I have with said character: i mean. Iris. they r best friends for real ! they r like the most important people to each other ! they r this guy and their 10 year old daughter who packs peanut butter jelly sandwiches for them !!!

A NOTP I have with said character: im gonna be petty and say vanlock. i blocked the tag bc i got tired of seeing it. actually even moreso i like physically recoil when i see ppl shipping him with ryuu, it fucking. completely baffles me. like. nothing wrong with that. people who ship them aren’t weird in That sense. but theyre weird as in I can’t understand what compels you to do this . i dont like vanlock but i can Understand why people do i just got extra sick of it bc its semi common. i cant understand why people ship sherlock and ryuu. like youve misread the vibe badly. this is not it. oh dear god this just got 5 times as long as all the other sections of this fucking ask meme. power of being slightly annoyed sorry

A random headcanon: UHHHHHHHHHH OH MY GOD . I KNOW i have headcanons abou t this bitch he swarms around in my mind all the time. I am imagining Random Exploits of the DGS Cast on a daily basis where did the fucking Concepts and Ideas go. ill return to this once ive done everything else and see if i havent thought of anything fun by then. ive thought about it some more and my most recent thought on him has been like. she knows some russian and japanese right? actually a fucking lot of russian to be able to read entire newspaper articles but thats besides the point i just think that sherlock knowing several different languages is neat but, Like. its pure chance if she ever manages to learn enough to be able to …. use it. once every several months sherlock will get really really excited about a new foreign language and put in like 2 weeks of work before forgetting about it completely. he has the vocabulary of a very young toddler in half a dozen different languages and is remembering those vocabularies by sheer luck

General Opinion over said character: Im normal iam normal normal im normal and regular . im normal and im normal about him and i dont intend to put him under a microscope or anything. i am not putting him in a little plastic box and shaking him to find out what happens . *extends my hand ibuprofen style* who wants to speculate about dgs in hyperspecific ways with me. hello my like 3 dgs followers do you have thoughts on sherlock holmes. tell them to me. lets all be normal. Anyway uh hes funny

IVE GOTTEN THAT BITCH OUT OF THE WAY LETS TALK ABOUT …… im not even sure. The General Concept of Sherlock Holmes on a Wide Scale, which, like, ultimately probably just boils down to: acd holmes. time to get philosophical with it. thats not the right word.

Sexuality Headcanon: sherlock is either gay or aroace or some more specific combination of all previous terms. Hey does that… even count as headcanon? Ultimately my stance is “whatever as long as sherlock holmes is not interested in women” and it is stated very clearly explicitly and repeatedly in canon that sherlock holmes is not interested in women so . like.

Gender Headcanon: You know what’s funny is expressing disdain for women is an effective way to distance yourself from femininity in general, for instance, to assert masculinity as a trans man, or as a negative reaction to being a trans woman. So. Like.

A ship I have with said character: at first i was like “its just kind of an objective fact that sherlock and watson are gay but i dont have emotional investment in it” but that was a fucking lie

A BROTP I have with said character: SHERLOCK HOLMES DOES NOT HAVE FRIENDS. I DONT FUCKING KNOW, TOBY THE DOG?

A NOTP I have with said character: The next time an adaptation tries to make him and irene adler straight together im going to thr authors house and shooting them point blank. shut up shut up shut up shut up. they would NOT

A random headcanon: man i dont even fucking know. he probably eats food off the floor and i mean this genuinely

General Opinion over said character: Sherlock Holmes is the ultimate Little Freak. Like 80% of the joy of any sherlock holmes media is “Watch this Freak Behave Oddly”. Some people think he would be hard to get along with personally i think we would make very good friends and i would love to hang out with the Freak.

Man. I hope this post isn’t actually as long and hard to look at as it looks in the mobile post editor. Unfortunately it probably is

#HAH! TWO ASK GAMES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE BECAUSE IM CHATTY #i couldve gone to an extreme and done one for every sherlock i could think of that i know that much about #…… but eh not really. #theres not much of a difference between ACD and granada #i think the only other one id have unique things to say about as of yet would be MS #basilask #thank you neb *high five* #EDIT: NO WAIT THERES RDJ HES ALSO HIS OWN UNIQUE FLAVOR. #and oh man this post Is big and long #dgs from my brain

[beyondthetemples-ooc]

Most people reference well-known memes or things that happened in their real life.

My brain consistently makes obscure and hyperspecific references to things I enjoy.

Like the meme that is Solely Between Me, Myself, and I where I take Malchior’s line, “I’ve been trapped in a book, not much to do but read”, and say it about anything. “I’ve been trapped in a job. Not much to do BUT work.” Or “I’ve been trapped in a shower. Not much to do but wash.” “I’ve been trapped in a society. Not much to do but participate.” Silly things. I can’t vocalize them because I can’t explain why it amuses me so much.

Or when someone’s trying to Take Authority but Being Stupid about it, I think “All I see is a lot of ineffectual grandstanding,” quoting Damian Wayne in JLvTT.

Or that time my sibling was anxious in a game and yelled “GOD FUCKING BITCH” as an expletive, and I lost my shit thinking, “What do Mercymorn and Augustine have to do with this?” I am the only person in my face-to-face life that knows about TLT.

Or the fact that I just saw a Tumblr post that said “He’s falling over”, and the way any time my brain thinks “falling over”, I think it specifically to the tune of Starting Over by Korn. “He’s falling over. Falling o-VER!” I don’t know why, my brain didn’t even do that when I was listening to that album once weekly, but it’s now a Permanent Fixture of my Brain.

7, 25, 32 from the writer questions meme, if you're still taking them!

7. What is your deepest joy about writing?

Being able to enjoy what I've written when I'm done.

I don't understand people who say they never reread their own work, that it makes them cringe—like, yes! that's called a first draft! That's why you keep editing until it's doing what you want it to, until you're happy with it!

The whole reason I'm motivated to write a story in the first place is because it's a story I wanted to experience, and no one else had written it for me. You know that meme that's like “I wrote this for me but you can read it too”? Yeah, it me.

...That said, the joy of being able to share it with others, and seeing the comments full of their unbridled enthusiasm, is a close second. :)

25. What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story?

Hrm. Not sure I've got any, actually? o_O

I've seen a lot of writers get overly-attached to their hyperspecific headcanons (“And modern!AU Geralt's favorite snack food is CHEETOHS!!”), but ultimately I'm like... why? If it's so specific and tangential that it has no bearing on the story or their overall characterization... what is its purpose?

I mean, it doesn't do any harm to give a character a weird quirk or preference (Robert likes pineapple pizza!), but a common mistake for novice writers is to mistake that for characterization. It's not. It doesn't give you any deeper understanding of who this character is as a person to know that they like cheeseburgers and hate hotdogs, or that they listen to Taylor Swift, or that their type is redheads. Trying to understand your character by compiling a list of their likes/dislikes is pursuing the wrong question.

32. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?

“Life does not cease to be funny when people die, any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.” (George Bernard Shaw)

I've mentioned this one before, but if I could sum up my entire writing ethos in one line, that would be it.

Life is both.

Those plodding, dreary, relentlessly cynical and nihilistic grimdark books are just as unrealistic as the unrepentantly fluffy fanfics in which everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. Not that realism even should be the goal of fiction, but it's dishonest to pretend like the former is an objectively more truthful depiction of the human condition.

And that's something I consider myself pretty good at in my writing -- striking the balance between heavy moments and lighter ones. It's that bit of salt in your caramel, that bit of sugar in your marinade -- the contrast is what brings out the flavor to its fullest.

i miss using tumblr the way i should have been all this time

i had no idea tumblrinas were making "welcome posts" to twitterians until my sis (@hiraya-sa-dilim) showed them to me. speaking of her, she's been using tumblr for the past two years and would you believe? her most viral post is that "*sighs dreamily* what is wrong with him" and the only reason she's come that far was because she didn't try hard to make the "perfect post" that everyone should flock over. she just post about whatever comes to mind even if it barely gain notes just for the heck of it.

i used to do the exact same thing back on 2015 with my old blog. from original chats to headcanons to random rambles. it's a surprise, really, how some people liked it enough to reblog even if the context needed to understand them is too hyperspecific. even then i just kept making more. since i'm already here, might as well use the post feature, right?

i don't remember when exactly i stopped making those, but i think what came along with my eventual insecurity of my unrefined drawing skills was the constant thought of making a post that may "flop". if it doesn't reach more than even 10 likes, i'd consider it worthless. i even internalized this stupid mindset for the longest of times: what's the point of posting something on the internet when people won't even pay attention to it?

this was why i resort to silently reblog and just put my takes in the tags for the next few years. i held myself back from making memes cause the thought of it being less appreciated already made me feel humiliated when i didn't even take the chance.

fast forward. when i saw my sister, who just made a blog then, posting away without a care in the world, i was punched back to the good old days. i remembered how stupidly carefree i had been of putting my ideas out there. i suddenly longed for the feeling of blissful ignorance once more whether people knew what the hell i was talking about.

so i tried making my own posts again, just not as much as i used to. i was still being careful of crafting the "perfect post" that people will flock over. it worked sometimes, sometimes not. unwanted results still bummed me, but not as much as it used to. i didn't have the same drive as back then, but it's a start.

then some twitter users considered migrating to tumblr that made me write this whole thing in the first place. with all the "welcome" posts about this website being weird and cringe... it made me realize that this is the home of the stupidest thoughts anyone can ever share on. it's where all my hot takes should be written and memes to be passed around and laughed at...

this realization made it all the more impactful cause i recently use twitter myself (since i was craving more content from a fandom that's barely alive here). my art there may have gained more attention, but even if i had enough following for them to be interested of what i have to say, i almost never EVER made a single hot take there. we all know why. it's a shame i can't connect with my mutuals more just to survive, it feels somewhat suffocating.

here meanwhile, i can fucking say death death death kill kill kill murder assassination kill meow instead of...

what THE HELL IS """"UNALIVE"""" SUPPOSED TO BE??? LIKE THE RANGE OF THE THINGS I CAN SAY HERE AND ON THAT GODLESS BIRD APP IS INFINITE HOW HAVE I NOT REALIZED THAT SOON, WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?

so yeah. my point being is... even if i (miraculously) found a comfy space on twitter, tumblr will always be my home on the internet. twitter's the city where i'm able to reach out to more people who may be interested of what i make, but here is the small town i grew up on where we all share the same language and a connection as deep as a tight family or a friend circle.

i can put my feet on the table here and no one will complain. i miss being vocally unhinged over dead fandoms. i'm bringing that feeling back soon.

so thanks elon musk and to all my fellow tumblrinas for reigniting my love for this hellsite and for basically reminding me that in here i can be both cringe and free. love you guys. <3

#it's stupid #really #to think that every blogger's post can be as viral as the next #that's not realistic at all LMAO #also a note: i won't be as active as i used to be since i've gotten busier than all those 7 years ago #thank you tumblr #cant believe i spent 3 hours writing this shit #but i have to. i want to let it all out AHA #rambles #long posts #mine

For the weird writer meme: Can I ask for all of them? No? Okay. How about 6, 7, 17, and 25

ldkflkskjdk I mean idk what you get up to on anon!

6. What is your darkest fear about writing?

I mean, other than the fear everyone has of secretly being terrible--that I'll lose it again. I stopped writing for a very long time and only just got back into it. I'm a bit worried I'll burn out and not bring any of my projects to fruition. That, and that I'll never finish anything original, since I've realized a lot of my original ideas were wrapped up in very poor coping mechanisms such as severely maladaptive daydreaming.

7. Deepest joy?

Tbh....the comments. Especially people saying they like my language itself, or my style. But finishing a piece and posting it and being told that it was memorable in some way is just really special uwu

17. Tell me about the minutiae of your current WIP.

....I'm gonna limit myself to one. To Find Myself Upon Your Shore: I don't think it's particularly subtle what Jamie is, but I'm still going to avoid stating it outright. So I'll avoid lore on that since I do technically want to reveal that in the fic! Originally I wasn't sure if I wanted it to be post WW1, so I thought about post WWII, but that seemed like a much darker time period than I wanted. So I went for the interwar, where the boys are specifically looking to be left alone to recover. A more morally gray Ted was also a more recent addition, and I just finished ironing out those details so now I just need to write the damn thing. A small detail I had to cut is that Dani helped get Jamie settled in at Trent's house :') .

25. What is a weird, hyperspecific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story?

This is more a headcanon, but: Jamie has dyslexia.

As for my personal ocs: Luke probably has some form of BPD. Nic's a virgo. Fen adores kids. I can't think of anything for Silber, and my Gilded Girls are too new to have a strong sense of them yet.

i love making hyperspecific memes to make myself feel better (nothing bad happened just feeling incredibly blurry) (im gønna finally buy myself thin black gloves >:D)

#blurryface.txt

[happi-speech]

I like thinking of languages that have "too much goin on" and seem too idiomatic to acquiesce naturally as actually having a lot more specific tools than english for processing the vastness of human emotion to very specific meanings and expressions via the subtlties of various inflections.

It makes language learning a lot less daunting and more fascinating thinking of it this way bc it feels like whenever i grasp the concept of using a specific conjugation or inflection and use it properly w/o thinking too hard abt it (or when i can feel myself go "wait thats not right" when i make a mistake, as if i can feel the rules of the language), i just added a hyperspecific linguistic tool to my collection of linguistuc tools (that I have from English) to convey my thoughts and emotions more expressively in a different way!

Its like that meme "there be some specific ass machines in the world" but for language features. Learning a new language gives u some specific ass tools to convey ur experiences w words!

I feel like this hyperspecific poll meme was custom tailored for me to make one but also I can't bring myself to sit down and do one
