#so i’m gonna finish eventually

[conquerthenight]

I’m glad that going back to uni means I get out of the house, but I feel like my inspiration and motivation for writing fics has totally plummeted ever since. I have so many ideas but when I can get the spoons to sit down and write them it never seems to come out right if at all.

#fanfiction #ao3 author #so sorry to the people following the ones they left behind #i had so many ideas for my current fic in that series but i hated every attempt to write them so i deleted them all #and i’ve been sitting on the one i’m currently writing because i haven’t been able to figure out how i want a spoilery conversation to go #i absolutely hate abandoning a fic #so i’m gonna finish eventually #but god this is frustrating #imposter syndrome to the max #vent post

I made a lmk oc

#they’re supposed to be some sort of experiment to see if people could recreate Sun Wukongs stone egg. the goal was to make a more controlled #and tame version using carved wood and cultivation. but eventually they got worried about it becoming too powerful and scrapped it #eventually they come to life and live in the abandoned temple they were built in #their bottom half is made of wood because when they came to life their creator/s left them unfinished when they scrapped the project #they had to carve the rest of their body out of hunger and frustration because they couldn’t eat or move much by crawling on their top half #this is also why they spite their creators and hate irresponsible creation. because of abandonment issues and feeling like they have no #purpose or direction in life #their power is also very limited to due being man made since they were originally a wood carving #meo gave me the idea but one reason would be because they’re half finished. the sculpture was still half stump so it was completely untouche #that half can channel power in its raw form but the other half cannot once it’s been carved by man #so technically they could have the same level or potential for power as the stone but that was dampened #the other thing is how they were created to be a duplicate or recreation of a stone monkey and a celestial looked at that and was like #‘we’re not doing that again’ LMAO #i think the case of them carving their own legs doesn’t take away their power though. that balance was made #before they came to life so carving the legs or not can’t affect it anymore. like making a cake and slicing it #their energy levels are also naturally low because of that so their movements are sluggish and they aren’t very active overall #constantly lying in the sun to charge their batteries and get some stuff done. just like me fr #I actually don’t know what I’m gonna do with this character besides Put Them In Situations with other ppls ocs.. so if you have #a lmk oc you have been warned /lh /j #I wanna make some backstory art for them though.. maybe even the animatic treatment if I can get through dear wormwood which is 25 #SECONDS OUT OF 3 MIN BTW #doodles #Lego Monkie kid #lmk #Monkie kid #lmk oc #monkie kid oc #myart #my art #xin ya

i’m not exaggerating when i say that your mirage fic was THE best transformer fic i have ever read. ever. like literally ever 😭 i would love some more mirage, or even bee!! your writing is just incredible 😭 i feel like i can’t read any other transformer fics bc they won’t compare to yours LMFAO

oh my goodness 😭 thank you SO much, literally from the bottom of my heart!! this is such a high compliment i can’t even explain 😭😭 ARGHHHHHH YOU’RE SO SWEET!!!! trust that more mirage is definitely on the way, it’ll just take some time!!

#doq.txt #YOUUUU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE ME CRY #IM BEING SO SERIOUS #YOURE ALL SO NICE IM GONNA BE SICK #ARGHHH. ARGH #I WILL have more mirage fic out eventually I PROMISE!! #as for bee #maybe. depends. i’m a little shaky on his character #but we’ll see how i feel after finishing the next mirage installment #LOL #❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️

it’s finally getting cold enough that i can bring my cardigan collection back into rotation without feeling like i’m gonna melt into a puddle the second i step outside!!!

#Seven.txt #my face #i have rematerialized back out of the void to once again make my once-in-a-blue-moon selfie & life update post #i’m running on 4 hours of restless sleep and the single banana i ate for lunch earlier today. let’s do this #hrrrrg i hate the lighting in my bathroom but i refuse to take pictures in the absolute Mental Illness Disaster Zone™️ that is my bedroom #anyways. got diagnosed with Mystery Pain Syndrome at the dentist today. so now i take ✨steroids✨ #the less funny explanation is that my tooth still hurts with pressure nearly a month post-root canal and That’s Not Good #so we’re trying some new medications to see if that fixes it. and if not then who knows. root canal pt.2 the sequel. or extraction. sigh #and so the Dental Saga continues. todays visit went quite well in spite of the unforeseen mystery pain delaying the tooth-shaving plans #we had some time to kill so he managed to fill some of my other tiny cavities while i was there today so that’s good #okay moving on. what else. uhh. OH they finally came out and ran the fiber to the house last week!!! now i’m just waiting on one more- #-guy to come and finish the interior install and the long awaited fast internet will finally be mine eheheheheeeee #now i can feel my hours upon hours of unedited gameplay footage breathing down my neck :) #man i’ve got so much stuff piled up right now. i’m drowning in Tasks and it’s a lil overwhelming but i’ll handle it all! eventually #uhhhhm my current writing project is coming along well! i’ve never put so much time and effort into a oneshot before in my life #its a labor of love though and i think i’m gonna be really proud of myself (and the fic) once it’s complete #even if no one reads it bc it’s so goddamn self indulgent and kinda lowkey throws canon out the window but like. fuck it! #if i want Astarion to write a song on piano and perform it for me while mentally taking me on a trip down memory lane. then so be it #fr though i’ve never written anything quite like this and i rlly want to do it justice. even if its unrealistic i still want it to be Good #in other news i received word that one of the chickens i sponsor at my local Gentle Barn has passed away so i had a lil cry abt that #i feel so bad for his little tiny chicken wife. they obviously loved each other and it’s like. so sad when one half of an old couple dies #like. she pulled him out of his depression after his 1st wife died. now who’s gonna be there to pull Her out… #anyways let’s not get all sad about that again. in happier news my cat who i presumed died/got killed has returned home uninjured!!! #after that huge stray dog chased her into the woods i thought we’d never find or see her again #but then the morning after i started grieving her she showed back up hungry as hell yet completely unharmed like the enigma that she is #so that’s one definite highlight from earlier this month. uhh what else. rapid fire summary of the past few weeks let’s go- #Jersey turned 10! Bullet turned 10! my 6 year Veganniversary happened! i’m approaching 700 days on DuoLingo! #i’ve written more than 20 thousand words! i’ve been facing some fears! fighting my OCD! taking care of myself! (kinda!) #anyways things are far from being all sunshine and roses around here but i’m trying to focus on the good stuff for the most part #for now tho i have a headache and have reached 30 tags so it’s time to go shovel some mashed potatoes into my mouth :)

Time heals everything so just let it do it’s work. If u can’t stomach the thought of love, then don’t force it. It will come when it’s ready.

Ik it’s sucks to think that maybe he wasn’t as into you as he said, but at least you were honest and loved them to the fullest extent which is really admirable.

And plz give him a side glare upon my behalf whenever u see him at work

my intention has been settled the entire day as ‘it’s okay to grieve what wasn’t meant for me’

i ended up talking to him outside at work yesterday and we talked about how we both felt, how it went down, it was…a very bittersweet feeling, but I understood where he was coming from and why he made his decision, I gave him my few thoughts in relation and spared him all the feelings I’m reconciling now.

we left things on good terms, because even if it wasn’t love, we still cared for one another deeply, and that still meant something.

does it still hurt? it does, but will I be okay eventually? I will, I do firmly believe it. another mantra I’ve been repeating is ‘I will never miss out on what is meant for me’

also I unfortunately don’t have the heart to sideglare him and it’s also no longer possible because yesterday was my last day 🎉 I’m off to get another job working with kids and I’ll be getting my licensing for it.

I’m very excited because this something I’ve been wanting to do for a long while and just didn’t realize there was a niche to get in to start. will it work out? hell if I know, I thought this would work out and it turned into a total dumpster fire 💀

but regardless I’m embracing the journey for what it is. anyways I’m gonna stop using this blog as my journal now, because I’ve accidentally projected on here for two months straight and if you scroll far enough you can watch this train wreck go down in 4K and I’d that isn’t embarrassing then idk what is💀

#missy answers #anon #also thank you for your sweet words Anon 😭 #I’ve been trying to be patient with myself the last few days #i have a few days before my new job starts so I’m just gonna take this time #to allow myself to rest and recover #from both the physically and emotionally tax of this last job #will I eventually feel better about writing? #i will #it just still sucks because if there was one thing I was excited to get back into #it was writing #and then I opened up the docu for sweet nothing #and literally wanted to vomited because 😭 it’s just too painful to read right now #HOWEVER I did manage to finish chapter 17 of wicked #but only because it required a certain kind of guttural sensation #that I could only acquire after something like a breakup

Myth Adaptations: The Persephone Story

Our leading lady goes by many names. Common among these are the Roman Proserpine / Proserpina and the Greek Persephone. Another is Korē, which simply translates to "maiden." Classical Athenian playwright Euripides even goes as far as to refer to her as arrētos korē, "the unnamed maiden" (Lincoln 230). This moniker seems pretty suitable: even as the protagonist, she is often relegated to being a placeholder, a blank slate to project one's own feelings on, rather than a character in her own right. 

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, of course. Myths (and all stories, really) are essentially metaphors used to help us understand the world. Thus, Persephone's story is less about her and more about her initiation into adulthood and, therefore, every woman's initiation — a timeless, universal plot that has been told and retold and experienced for countless thousands of years, with each new author and generation putting their own spin on it. 

In this essay series, I plan to take a deeper look at what sets these adaptations apart in their attempts to update this and similar timeless themes, specifically in regards to women’s perceived roles in society at the time. This is still going to be quite lengthy, and so I'm going to break it up into a couple of chapters, linked to below:

Historical Context

Grief

Empowerment

Choice

#personal #greek mythology #persephone #the links go to my neocities since tumblr doesn’t seem like the best medium for long form essays #since the last time i mentioned this series i’ve rewritten/ finished everything so it’s less weird and more coherent lol #‘grief’ talks about the early 1800’s; ‘empowerment’ is about the whole goddess movement in the 1970’s; ‘choice’ is modern #might revisit this for edits or to write some sort of conclusion eventually but i’m basically gonna call it done at this point

part 2 ! this time serene is about to kick iyana’s ass in a magic spar but iyana is too busy staring at their muscles to care

#oc tag #serene #iyana #my art #chatter #drawing in a sketchbook has been CHALLENGING.. HEKSJDHDJHDJD #esp when doing serenes muscles that shit had me looking back and forth like never before HEKSJDHDKDH the proportions still aren’t right but #i’m posting SKETCHES ! not finished pieces. so whatever HEKSHDKDHDJ #also i wish i gave iyana a different hairstyle there but whatever… it’s not like it’s gonna bother me. (it’s gonna bother me) #HEKKSHDKSHDKDDJ #why is serene taking off their shirt u may be asking #in my heads justification they’re getting serious. down to business HEJDKDHDKDH #serene makes iyana spar a lot so she can practice her magic like cmon now. the rituals are intricate #what a teacher. i mean iyana does learn how to control her magic amazingly well eventually so like he did his job. HEKDHDJ #i redrew iyanas section twice and i’m still not happy w it but WHATEVERR #next time i’ll be posting silly sketches. i’ve doodled serenes roommates i love them already

Has Aspen watched Wolfwalkers before? I think he would absolutely love that movie :)

YESSSS YES YES ASPEN FUCKING LOVESSSSSS THAT MOVIEEE

AND SO DO I!!!!!!! like i’ve never seen that movie before but i’ve wanted to watch it for a long time and this ask FINALLY made me watch it and oh my god HOLY SHIT IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES NOW. i literally JUST finished it and i don’t even know what to say besides this

i need everyone to watch this clip in particular because holy shit i cried during it /pos. like i can’t even describe how much i love this movie and how much it means to me just wow WOW it’s absolutely fucking amazing and i definitely recommend it to everyone. the animation is stunning i love the main characters and everything is just so EXPRESSIVE and the COLORS ANR AHHHH THE WOLVESSSS

Aspen loves it. it’s one of his favorite movies now too (maybe his favorite idk i’ll have to think of what other movies he likes) but guys i don’t even know what to sayyyy that movie is sooo good

thank you so much for sending this ask because wow i don’t know what it is with me and wolves now but wolves are COOL and i LOVE this movie i’m so happy i finally watched it!!! :D

#i was screaming at the tv during the super intense parts like wow WOW this movie was amazing #imagining Aspen running through the woods as a wolf being so so so happy #i’m so happy i got the idea to turn him into a werewolf later on in the story so he can finally truly live #like Aspen turning into a werewolf marks the end of Silas feeding on him i think. it’s a brand new beginning. he’s truly alive and free now #and i love that so much #i’m so happy #i’ve gotta write down everything i’ve been coming up with for silas and aspen because it’s a lot and some people might be outta the loop #but basically after a very long time of being Silas’s bloodbag Aspen befriends a werewolf and gets turned #Silas was pissed because werewolf blood is kinda gross and Aspen now smells like wet dog and he’s overall less appealing #and Aspen is over the moon when he gets turned because he’s a wolf therian (otherkin) and he basically just got everything he’s ever wanted #and by then he already got closure for some stuff in his past (relating to how he originally died and one of his friends and ghosts) #so like he’s Happy. he’s so fucking happy. he’s the happiest person you’ve ever met by then #and also that is past the point where Silas eventually warms up to him (because aspen is literally a delight to be around #even to people as cold and heartless as silas) he still kills aspen for fun though. aspen is used to it and honestly doesn’t mind anymore #their dynamic is just sooo fun. #and i love werewolf aspen so much and need to talk about him because he’s all i’ve been thinking about and drawing #like Aspen is a bloodthristy werewolf who doesn’t know anything about his powers and Silas begrudgingly helps him because he’s Involved now #lots more happens in the story after this. it’s gonna take forever to actually get there tho like im a slow writer and haven’t even finishe #the first chapter. but yeah i love werewolf aspen and the werewolf who turned him is very cool too. don’t know anything abt them yet but im #working on it. anyway i love wolfwalkers u all should watch it because it’s amazing #ask #aspen oc #silas oc #brc ask #blood runs cold

[jeoncopi]

so excited for your upcoming fic & new account, will be in tuned^^. quick question are you now not going to update the ongoing fic on your old account?

all love

^•^

hellooo thank you lovely!!! I’ve finally decided what my “banner” (that’s not actually a banner??) will be so—the “drabble” ended up being longer than expected so it’s not a drabble anymore sjsjsjsj

please, expect “overseas freedom” I’ll be posting it soon ^•~

*cough* I suppose you refer to my “in the soop” series? - I thought I wasn’t going to be able to continue (writing it, if I’m being honest) but I’ve seen some clips again and there’s some inspo! so mm to answer your question, yes. there’s a high possibility that I’ll continue ITSJK series :>>

#jc: ask #I’ll look into my old masterlist #because I don’t rmbr if I have another ongoing series tbh #this is the only one I rmbr!! #I really do love its! jungkook couple ㅠㅠ #they’re so cute together #I think they’ve grown so much!! I think that’s why I also had trouble into getting to develop more of their relationship #since ITS is supposed to be only about their days on that mini break ^^ #omg I think I’ll eventually finish it 😳 #*whisper* #there might be a closing chapter guys.. omg #that’s all I’m gonna say for now 🥺 #PS: sorry for the late reply!!! omg 😭

[djsadbean]

Are you ever gonna continue your The Return Of Miss Power AU? Btw your art and writing are amazing!! I can't believe there is another person who's in the Wordgirl Fandom :)))

Yessir!!!!! 💛💛💛

(/neg for this paragraph) I’ve been going thru a bunch of stuff behind the scenes that I try not to talk about bc I know my page is an escape from bad stuff for a lot of people. One fraction of it is that the ao3 curse is real and im glad I did all that research for chapter 5 xD but there’s a lot of other stuff too…

I’ll get back to it soon :D I have like 60% of the next chapter written! I’ll post when there’s an update ready.

Waahhhhhh thank u sm!!! 💛💛💛 that means a lot /gen /pos Hell yeah worg fandom!!!!! The kindest fandom ever!! 🥺💕💕

#tank u for the message! #it’s understandable to want to know if it’ll continue #it’s always unfortunate when a fic u like doesnt ever get updated again #I rly wanna finish this though!!! #I want to make sure my words are meaningful and make sense. i don’t want the pain from irl stuff to make its way distastefully into my work #i wanted to have time to process everything and deal with it before getting fully back into it #I’m rly scared of trauma dumping on readers xD #it should be a wonderful experience to read!! gonna try my best to make that happen! #like I didn’t want the angst to feel guilty or uncomfortable if that makes sense #the angst should be poetic and heartbreaking LOL #rn I’m trying to take things slow and draw on paper as silly as that sounds to write out so bluntly #when I was 17 I got rly popular in a big fandom for my art and I started treating it like a job which was cool experience but I never #slowed down. i think if I want to keep this love for art and writing alive I need to slow down every once in a while idk #so I’ll eventually go full force again but rn I’m just trying to be thoughtful and organized #I think that’ll reflect nicely in my art :D #anyway thank u for reading these tags luv u byeeee #djsadbean answers

[rockleaves]

i want to write domovoi story because that’s what’s at the front of my brain rn but i also want to write fic because that’s something i can show people………hateful that i cannot do both at once, frankly

#t #i do want to share domovoi story with friends eventually but i think i want to finish all of part 1 first #which is motivation to work on it but also the toddler in my brain wants to know what people think nooooooow #especially because part 1 is gonna be kind of long i think……..not as long as part 2 but still. it’ll take a while. #hmm. maybe i’ll ask someone to read once i have all of chapter 1 actually written. we’ll see i’ll decide once i get there. #i’ve been doing a lot of outlining mostly and writing scenes that are very vivid in my head as i’m outlining so i don’t lose anything #but that means that while i have a lot written none of it is put together yet. alas!

#finally listened to folkmore and… #idk #i kinda had high hopes bc i have liked some of the snippets on tiktok but #those were usually the bridges #so not most of the song… #i’m gonna listen to midnights eventually #but expectations managed ✅ #& then i’ll do an og vs tv album listen #so hopefully i will have finished that by the time she puts out her final rerecorded album #personal
