#something unpublished

[edorazzi]

Oh my gosh, it IS the 10th anniversary of the Ladybug PV! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for the reminder! How time flies in this wonderful little fandom, which is not yet old enough to open a bank account but now can be convicted of a criminal offence. 

I have a much bigger Mentor AU project coming soon, but for now here are a couple of older unpublished pieces of our favourite kids to celebrate! 🥰

#miraculous ladybug #bridgette cheng #felix agreste #josie's art #ME HERE LIKE (PIKACHU FACE) BECAUSE I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE #and i'm on holiday next week so i can't even sit my ass down and draw anything right now! #OLD UNPUBLISHED CONTENT MUST SUFFICE #i do have a huge comic coming soon tho so i'll post something about that in a timely fashion! #imagine. the PV is old enough to be arrested :')

Reincarnate Hero in Paldea [Random Intro Snippet]

Your memory is entirely missing, but the feeling of displacement follows you silently, creeping up in certain moments-- especially obvious when compared to your peers. You don't quite understand why you're so different, but you've found the disconnect to be insurmountable.

It shows. Your professors have noticed both your inexplicable talents as well as your unnerving understanding of things that even experienced adults sometimes fail to grasp. Your ways of doing things are far beyond that of someone just beginning their journey.

It's no wonder that fellow oddity Student Council President Nemona herself had taken a personal interest in you.

...

There's a fortune teller that roams the streets of Mesagoza. Some believe her tellings hold bits of truth to them, while others dismiss the notion and refuse to believe her stories. As of late, it is said that she's been refusing to read anyone's fortune because of something she saw. Some say it was something terrifying, like destruction and smoke in vast and empty lands as they've read about in history books, and others whisper that she dreamt of dimly glowing machinery left in the ruins of a catastrophic event, blanketed by a pitch-black sky void of all light.

You try to ignore the rumors, mostly because you don't want to humor any gossip, but something about them deeply unsettles you and you don't know why.

What would you say is your favorite part/scene of fault, also what do you imagine Red to taste like?

For one, Red’s texture would be kinda awful. Like thick water that prefers to clump to itself in tendrils. I imagine Tommy misses forks a lot. Red tastes slightly salty and a little bit metallic. Since it basically magically floods the amygdala in order to produce a flight or fight response, I functionally compare it to adrenaline, which can result in a metallic taste in one’s mouth. The salt is since Red is also kinda analogous to sweat. Ew. Potential other flavors when he’s super duper stressed include bitter (adrenaline concentrations) and sulfur (fear sweat). Tommy would not be delicious if he was having a panic attack that’s for sure.

And ahhhhhhh favorite scenes! Such a tough one! I’ll break it up by character bc I’m not getting anywhere else wise:

Tommy: Ember. The scene where Tommy fights against his touch starvation in order to finally let go of his toxic relationship with Philza. When Philza’s affectionate touch begins to burn him and Tommy finally recoils. Just…recognizing that his desperation has led him to ignore so much and finally learns how to stop blaming himself for everyone. Even if Tommy was acting on misinformation, getting Philza off a pedestal was still huge. Philza: Malachite. When he returns to his Collected in full dragon mode. Something just hits me about a massive dragon being guided home by tiny bees. The beauty of him but also the sheer destructive force. And the pure uncertainty of it, if Philza even remembers his loved ones at all. The terror of not only the heart break if he doesn’t, but also the possibility that such a powerful destructive creature could slaughter his children and not even notice. Tommy’s swirl of gut wrenching emotions and awful hope as he’s face to face with a massive dragon, only to get licked. One of my favorite cliff hangers tbh. Also the entire amnestic arc is such a fun way to explore different facets of Philza after he haunted the narrative for ages. The Blade: Unfortunately most of his coolest scenes haven’t been posted yet. But I do adore the fight scene in Alabaster where The Blade is having this epic show down with the organ house (creature pulled straight from my nightmares). He caused the problem by trying to take care of his friends, and he’ll solve it using exactly that. Very good indicator of the larger problems he faces. Also the fact he’s doing a Cool Fight Scene…while his mane is in braids, his hooves are covered in nail polish, and ‘Tommy wuz here’ is plastered on a tusk. The Blade can just get silly with it in a way the others can’t sometimes, and it’s refreshing to have the most chill functional guy be the one with bloodthirsty voices. The Blade makes the active choice to be far less edgy than he could be, and I adore him for that.

Wilbur: Midnight. It’s such a small scene, but the moment where Wilbur is out stealing food and he comes across a pet dog. I think it perfectly encapsulates the warring tension inside Wilbur between his pure survivalist mindset and his softer side. I like the way he refuses to let himself admit what he’s doing as Wilbur tries to forget everything that happened in the Foundation, which simultaneously leaves the reader in suspense for what he’s doing as he inches his knife closer to the dog’s throat. And that last line that suddenly says so, so much about the memories Wilbur is repressing: Wilbur really, really did not like shock collars. Perfect amount of building suspense to an answer that only creates far more urgent questions it refuses to address.

Tubbo: Old Gauze. Might be recency bias, but I just love when Tubbo decides to start screaming at Philza in the middle of the woods. It really encapsulates some of Tubbos’ glaring predjudices but also the flaws in Philza’s simplistic morality system (or lack thereof). Tubbo has a lot of unhealthy beliefs about hatred, guilt, and empathy. Plus the utter hypocrisy of saying Philza has no empathy while actively dehumanizing Philza…delicious. I think in stories with a moral of ‘killing people bad :(‘ it becomes really easy to make the pacifist character the unequivocally good guy. And I want Tubbo to be just as messy and flawed as everyone else. (Also really like the tiny scene in Atramentous where Tubbo starts disassociating about proper tree trimming techniques while their house is literally being invaded by Foundation soldiers.)

Though really any scene where I get to mash different character’s moral philosophies against one another like a kid with action figures automatically gets a lot of my love. I imagine readers probably have vastly different favorite scenes than I, given some of them are tiny in the grand scheme of things. Feel free to share parts that made you unhinged.

#Soo hard to not talk about unpublished scenes #There’s this one convo between Tubbo and the blade that’s just automatically the best techno scene #Hands down no contest #I could dissect that one for days they’re such good foils #Absolutely fantastic ask #fault au #sbi scp au #scp philza #scp tommyinnit #scp technoblade #scp tubbo #scp wilbur #something to nom on

if this is the quality of what passes for fanfiction nowadays perhaps i should have a go at getting published

#just kidding! i'm unpublishable because there's something wrong with me #but my prose quality is certainly at a publishable level

[softgrungeprophet]

i just want everyone to know that the 50,000+ words I have written in the past year and a half were all written like this:

#arghphoto #why? well acer aspire 5 keyboard is apparently not very durable/i think maybe something melted? G and H don't work at all lol #neither does caps lock #arghwrites #putting this in the fic wip tag #because why not #also it's WAY more than 50k esp if you count the unpublished stuff i'm still working on but i can't be bothered to figure out how many

[abyssaldyke]

Having a weird one because I've been objectively doing some of the best writing of my life but I'm also getting pummeled with rejections which is part of it I know but there's also the fear that I'm plateauing or jumping around on projects too much and not focusing enough on prepping a novel but alternatively there's no right way to do things except what if there is and what if I'm fuckin it up a bit.

#ya girl #writing tag #i didnt write today i ran errands #im just working on this story for an anthology and im cursed to always be writing something a little too difficult #also im such a creature of pleasures. those pleasures being unpublishable gore #its FINE its going to be SO FINE. #i just wish id have it in for workshop i would like to be workshopped before i submit #maybe after the original anthology call deadline.

Fic Wrap Up Meme 2022

Tagged by @swaps55. Man, I debated doing one of these, but it's nice to look back on the year. I pivoted majorly fandomwise and feel a little bad for leaving friends behind, but Mass Effect is one I know I'll always come back to.

Words Published: 282,655

Fandoms: Dragon Age, Hades Game, Mass Effect, The Song of Achilles, and The Iliad

3 Fanfics with the most kudos in 2022:

even if it's a lie

Void

Relinquish

(All ThanZag, hah. The only fic that breaks these 3 for other stats is Sunset in Your Veins, which has 3rd most comment threads.)

Favorite opening line from a fic in 2022:

He is eighteen, freshly home from his first and last Olympics, and he steps out of the taxi to find the front lawn of his house littered with black garbage bags, little cards affixed to them on which Patroclus’s name is neatly printed. x.

Favorite ending line from a fic in 2022:

If Zagreus is willing to die to steal a few minutes of Thanatos’s attention, Thanatos is willing to put his duty to the side for a few moments more to watch for the sunrise. x.

Fic I'm most proud of from 2022:

Void. It was one of those fics where I felt like I was possessed while writing. I wrote fast and compulsively, hah, and I really liked how it turned out. (But I think if I do a good job with the ending of All That Glitters, it might be the fic I'm most proud of in 2023. I really love some of the sections in that fic and it's been really fun and challenging to tackle so much time in just small snippets.)

Longest fic in 2022:

even if it's a lie clocks in as the winner at just under 85k words. Most of my longfics are 50k or below, but I think modern AUs get me a little wordier (I thought Gold would be 10-15k and ATG would be shorter than Gold, and I was very wrong on both counts).

New Things I Tried in 2023:

For some reason, I started writing in the present tense this year, and now I can't stop. I broke my previous record for number of POVs in a fic with around 15 in Void. And I think ATG is my most ambitious in terms of how much time is covered-- it spans over 20 years, and it's been a fun challenge to show them changing, growing, and fucking up over two decades.

Goals for 2023:

I have a couple fics that got put on the backburner for most of 2022 for a number of reasons, and I'd like to sit down and finish them. Now that my love of Thanzag has settled into something less all-consuming, I think I can actually turn my attention to other beloved ships (thinking particularly of Overboard and the dozen Shakarian WIPs I have).

#it's so funny to think of next year and have no idea what I'll write #like I know I'll finish sunset and ATG and probably before the end of February for both #and then what? #what idiotic obsession will take me then? #will I finally return to my abandoned children? #or will there be something new? #will I finally figure out how to write mamma mia but make it patrochilles?!??!?!!! #I was thinking of making a new pinned post to rec fics from 2022 since I have so many new patrochilles and hades people #but meh whatever just gonna do this instead #sorry the end of hte year is for being self involved and reflecting on stuff #also i cannot believe how many words that is #there's also 35k more unpublished words of ajax fic ahaha #getting more and more doubtful that will ever see the light of day

#answered #levlies889 #i mean *i* know whos having gay sex but thats unpublished. am i missong something herr #las nevadas polycule

[savrenim]

desire to write the entire thing so that I can hardcore edit for pacing, foreshadowing, etc etc even if said entire thing ends up being 300-500k words vs despite to start releasing chapter by chapter once I have a backlog of like 30k, fight

#this is about 'the heart and the heartless' #aka anime book #aka I owe [friend] my life for the seventeen full character names they've come up with for me so far #the actual compromise would be to write and edit the first three arcs as those are all going to affect one another most heavily #albeit that's an expected 150k at least #and then to start releasing that while I work on the final arc(s?) #my life #my writing #at least I'm Having Fun #but also I think I need to concentrate on writing fanfic a bit just so that I have something to release #it is driving me crazy sitting on hundreds of thousands of words and releasing nothing #(okay Opus is 125k and like. I've probably only got 50-100k of partially written unpublished both original work and fanfic rn but #tHAT IS STILL HUNDREDS)

tbf for all its mess, "here's a lewd ostracon" - "aaaand here's three egyptologists criticising the British Museum's given translation of the inscription" is one of the most tumblr posts we’ve made recently

#in fairness no one's probably looked at it since it was aquired in 1912 #there's an enormous backlog of untranslated and unpublished ostraca that we're just... never going to catch up on #not in the least bc we keep digging up new ones #but also because there's only few egyptologists #though to be QUITE honest i'd be down to do the work and publish a few hundred of these #I don't necessarily need an extensive Egyptological career because I'm not entirely suited to academics? #but if you pay me a living wage to translate and publish these babies so that the knowledge is available to others I'd be so down #anyway back to the ostracon in question - both parkinson (1999) and demarée (2002) included it in a publication #and because I can't imagine either of those looking at the BM-given inscription and going ''aye legit'' i'm trying to hunt down those pubs #INSTEAD OF WRITING LIKE I SHOULD BE I GUESS #eh who am I kidding I don't have the brain space to write right now anyway might as well do something tangentially related
