#like it's been hard work bc i've been more bothered about the portrayal of characters than i usually am

[lit-in-thy-heart]

if i ever give an estimated word count for a fic that i haven’t finished yet, please add at least 5k to that estimation for a more accurate result.

#started a merwaincelot fic on friday afternoon with an estimation of 10k #and the possibility of a follow-up #i'm now at 8k #haven't even got to the whump which was going to be the crux of it #and i have a title for the second part (as well as this one) that has me figuratively bouncing with excitement #bc i'm really pleased with how it sounds when you put the two titles together #like it's been hard work bc i've been more bothered about the portrayal of characters than i usually am #but it has been fun #i'm just going to have to try very hard to stick with angst #and hope that it doesn't get too much longer lol #tdlr lit is incapable of writing short fics if it's more than one character focus #the next costa criminals wip is already 3.2k and another character hasn't even showed up yet #lit talks #lit writes

[How's My Portrayal?] Okay, this one's going to be a mixed bag because while you have multiple muses, Spider Tsum is the one I have most experience with and goodness, is he adorable! I didn't know anything about Spider Tsum before you came into the picture and your writing for him is so fun and playful, real whimsical that it's a nice change of pace from normally 'serious' characterization if that can be said? Not to say that you aren't serious; your writing is top notch but Spider Tsum is so unique and fun and he's been a real joy to watch and interact with so far! Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your work as well as your OOC thoughts on various matters bc being neurodivergent is such a mood, some things are hard as fuck to comprehend but you do a solid job on explaining your thoughts, it's easy to agree. Love what I see and I want to see more!

Happy squeaks!

Admittedly, Spider Tsum has about 4 issues total of his existence due to a Tsum Tsum product tie-in, and he doesn't exactly get much character in those comics, but I have bestowed upon him much silliness and adorable urges, for I think he's a lot of fun to write. XD

Spider Tsum does not require a lot of backstory or plot; he is what he is. You can look at him and pretty much grasp the character vibe.

That's not to say I don't like writing all my muses, but Spider Tsum is a muse I am really glad people love, because he's such a silly concept. XD

And I confess that I can be a bit too hyperfocused at times, mostly the autism, but what bothers me most is that I've got Major Depressive Disorder, which means on top of the autism, my brain just decides it wants to be really upset all the time for no reason.

So I am very glad people like my writing, and Spider Tsum, despite all that. It makes me feel all happy. :D
