shen yuan transmigrates into xiu ya
if you saw this b4 it's my other account I'm moving all my shit (one singular post: this) over dont @ me
shen yuan transmigrates into a qing jing peak disciple who gets attacked and who's spirit gets trapped in Xiu ya by a random unnamed Wan Jian Peak disciple.
in the "original story" the character of xiu ya is awoken when shen qingqiu goes up for trial, and as he cannot remember his name or anything before he wakes up, (and the peak lord from when he was a disciple has ascended already) it is framed as if shen qingqiu trapped him in there in order to make himself stronger, despite him having been there for ages before Xiu Ya was claimed.
however this time around something goes wrong and the original xiu ya spirit dies as he's being placed into the sword instead of simply being put into a slumber, and shen yuan wakes up in the sword, extremely awake, for the entire process of his body (???) being disposed off and the sword being placed into containment. he only realizes what sword he is when it is named by his captor, when the captor is registering the sword into containment.
luckily, shen yuan, once placed into containment, is able to sleep for most of his solitary imprisonment in the sword containment, so he does not have to physically (physically?????) experience decades passing.
he does wake up again when he, as the xiu ya sword, is claimed by shen jiu.
cue wacky "is my sword alive what the fuckkk" hijinks

Deep breath
Last night, I posted the last chapter of my last open fanfic that I had plans to finish. I'm still kind of processing that. I am not done with fanfiction forever or anything, but I'm done with everything I had open and I don't have plans to kick in the door to another fandom as a writer.
This was the point I wanted to get to a few years ago, not long before the good omens series launched. I got pretty fucking sidetracked, though in the long run I think it was good I did. I had a lot of priceless experiences writing in that fandom. Getting to see something I'd written bound into a book especially gave me something. I used to squirm a lot more at just the idea of publishing something official, but it doesn't feel quite so... I dunno. Unrealistic, I guess. It feels like, actually,
So, that's what I'm going to do. I've got a couple of months before Nanowrimo begins, which I'm going to use to get characters in order and produce an outline for the first book. There's 6, maybe 7, total in the story I want to write, and I haven't decided if I want to try to publish them as I go or get them finished before I release.
I'm going to be posting here as I go, though I'm not sure about what just yet, and I may switch to using my writing side blog instead. I'll see how I feel when the dust is a little more settled.
At any rate, I'm very excited, and I just wanted to make note of the day and say I appreciate the folks that have said kind things and been supportive and made me feel safe to try something new. Hopefully I'll see some of you on this new journey, too!

“Hey I wanted to say __ but I didn’t want to stress you out (again.)”
“Hey no stress! All good!”
“…well GOOD because I have been stressing myself about that for (months) awhile. But if it’s all good it’s all good. (I can tell my anxiety to shadduuuup about it if I know that directly.)”
[continues to resist the urge to send bird and cat memes and music covers]
(Wait until y’all actually feel comfortable talking without that Wall of social anxiety specifically around eachother, Tiger. Don’t abuse the dms. Patience. You at least know he won’t run away from you again. He showed up to your party and wore the bandana you threw at him playfully, and apparently did pay attention to what patterns you wear on your nicer clothes despite him getting more avoidant than ever when you do. Tell the dopamine to CHILL and BREATHE. Ya know. Like ya promised.)

Reminder that digital reproductions of nondigital artwork are not objective truths. Physical media appears different irl based on light and shadow and how your eye processes it in relation to its surroundings (see also Seurat's painted frames).
Digital scans are subject to the same inconsistencies. The lighting, lens, processing software, and after affects (ie retouching, color correction) can all affect the final image, as will your screen and its settings.
