#thank you irl writing friends

[maddilynmuse]

For someone is a writer, my reading comprehension is shit sometimes ^^’

Baaaaaasically, my irl writing club explained to me that I can put my Kindlevella (and book) other places as long as it’s paywalled.

Relatedly, if you ALSO hate Amazon (as I do, but desperation does things to a motherfucker), then skip that bullshit and come buy me a Kofi. I’ve got a bit up now, and imma start crossposting the things I have on Amazon up there. Proceeds go to me and just me because Kofi is fucking awesome like that.

#I am smart but sometimes dumb #writerblr #kindle vella #Kofi #writeblr #the longest night #guppy love #both coming soon on kofi! #thank you irl writing friends #it has been a lot lately #also I moved into a new apartment this week and the fridge doesn’t work so that’s fun #literal starving artist #lmao no worries I’m about to go to my natural habitat #a tea cafe #with food #because I am getting physically sick of fast food #and I can only eat rice with sealed fish in it for so many meals in a row

a sentence i never thought i’d hear:

“someone should introduce the [cultists] of the ninth to lady gaga”

#thank you my great irl friend for this quote #brackets are because they said sisters due to context btw #i am now potentially writing a fanfic of this??? #the locked tomb #tlt #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth

tumblr vernacular ruining me for real, our paladin's player has written another bit of short prose exploring something from last session a little more in-depth and I CANNOT comment 'chris I am going to kiss you on the mouth'

#fortunately I CAN say 'I owe you my life. I am eating this for breakfast' #and I do #literally last night he was like 'I might write something up for this scene' #and I was like I CANNOT overstate how much joy it brings me every time you write things for taldian #EVERY TIME I'm like OHOHOO a GIFT for ME and I'm EATING IT FOR BREAKFAST. DELICIOUS THANK YOU #I love taldian and also I love my friend #but I gotta tell him normal style. or at least 'won't actually Make It Weird' weird style #about me #irl frens

hi :)))

#made the decision to not stay away because i don't want to let my negative thoughts decide what i do and don't do #also i talked to some irl friends last night about how i was feelings and as always they've made me feel heard and safe #anyways #thank you for being patient with this struggling girl #i don't think i'll be super active but i'm writing a little something i want to post tomorrow #🫶🏼 #luiza.txt

[eoinmcgonigal]

it's really upsetting me so to get it off my chest i'm gonna confess that the positivity posts i saw yesterday really hurt. i didn't realise that was a thing in this fandom, and i wish it wasn't because those things inevitably leave people feeling left out and like their presence isn't worth anything to the fandom (plus readers, rebloggers and commenters are integral to fandom community but don't usually get a shoutout). i'm already struggling because of this horrible trend towards using threads in discord which renders most of the servers inaccessible to me, i feel extremely isolated and alone and unwanted, but i was doing okay muddling along churning out fic and a few silly polls and posts now and then until yesterday. the fic i posted today just made me feel so sad after i posted it. it was a lovely fic :( but like what is the point. if i'm worth so little i might as well not be here. why put the effort into making things if no one notices. i already feel so lonely it's like i'm being torn in two, posting things now and then brought me comfort but idk what i have now

#i'm in a deleting everything kinda mood #no one remembered me? oh. okay :( #fuckin hurts so much #i want to finish the johnny stuff but i feel so unbearably miserable now and i don't want to spend hogmanay like that #but i also can't bear to leave it unfinished #i wish i'd never scrolled my dash yesterday then i'd never have known about those posts #it brought me so much joy to write and share those fic #absolutely crushing to discover i don't inspire the same joy in the fandom #i was kinda impressed with having written so much i thought it was kinda cool #maybe it's just really fucking annoying idk #sorry just so lonely and upset and the places i find sanctuary are falling to pieces and i'd actually like to die now thanks #so much shit is going on irl you have no idea and i don't have a support network it's terrifying #nothing i do is worth anything #no one wants me #did u no my mother discarded all the photos that had me in them? kid me just. discarded. she took everyone else and threw me out #shit like that hurts i wish i had a new family or friends to chat to as a distraction when shit gets bad #i mean i get discord dm notifications (not server mentions) if anyone dms me but lol guess how often that happens #i get tumblr dm notifications it's been the only place i've talked to anyone for ages so shoutout to those two wonderful people #god i just. want to be included? #i tried #i failed #fuck. #maybe this is goodbye idk i had stuff to finish up/share #and a million more fics i wanted to write #i don't even know if i can face doing tomorrow's johnny fic #i wanted to do the 12 days of christmas too :( #but the fact now exists that i just... wasn't good enough for this fandom :'( #also i can't face the notifications tab #if it's not a Direct Message i won't see it #god there was SO MUCH i wanted to share! there were gifs i was gonna make to share the suffering and gift fic and silly posts

Jyou!!! On Ice (A Jyoumato x YOI AU)

Jyou Kido considers retiring from his figure skating career after a horrible defeat in the Grand Prix Final. He heads home to quit and work at his father’s business, but when a video of Jyou performing Yamato Ishida’s short program leaks to the public, Yamato travels to Japan and gives Jyou a once in a lifetime opportunity; For one year, Yamato will be Jyou’s coach to help his dream come true.

When chatting with @matterofblues, the idea of a jyoumato x yoi au came up, and I had to draw a fanart of it! I didn't imagine I would create four drawings for this idea, but I had so much fun that I kept making more. I hope you all like these drawings! Thank you <3

#There isn’t going to be a fic based on this idea #but if anyone writes something PLEASE tag me in it #Also I was going to stop at three but my irl friend convinced me to draw the kiss scene so you can thank her #Digimon/Yuri!!! On Ice AU #Yuri!!! On Ice #Digimon #Yamato Ishida #Jyou Kido #Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna #myart #WHAT’S THEIR SHIP NAME??? #Jyoumato #yamajoe #Jomato #joemato #id in alt tag #id in alt text

[sylviareviar]

Sylvia, how do you look at all the friends who care so much about you and still think you don't deserve it?

She took some time to formulate her thoughts. "...the thing about anxiety is... no matter how good of a person one might be, there's always a niggling doubt in the back of your mind-- and it can vary in volume. Doubts such as 'what if I'm faking being a good person,' 'what if I really am selfish and undeserving of love,' 'what if I've tricked people into thinking I'm a good person,' et cetera. These emotions cloud judgment and distort your way of thinking. I'm only saying this because I've seen it in other people, and it's very possible I'm going through that exact same thing. I don't know what the world is 'supposed' to look like, because to me, everything is bleak and terrifying. If someone blames me for something that happened, I take responsibility no questions asked. Not because I actually think I did it, or that it's my fault, but because I deserve to, so I blame myself, too. Other people are much smarter than I am."

"If I blame others for my own shortcomings, that negates my own responsibility, and I will hurt them. Even if they hurt me first, I should never ever cause pain to anyone. If that means I put myself down and shove knives down my own throat, I'll gladly do it. Besides, no one wants to be friends with someone as ugly and scarred as me. The people I interact with either do it out of pity, or they don't know who I really am. You know how the Phantom Thieves have the power to see into people's hearts-- or at least, so they claim? I'll bet if the Phantom Thieves looked into my heart, they would see a horrific monster, bleeding and dying, being torn apart at the seams, crumbling into dust and tearing its own heart out. Who would want to be friends with something so disgusting and cruel? I certainly wouldn't know how to handle someone like that. Friendships don't last, anyway. I may have friends now, but I won't for long. Either I'll die or I'll leave and go back home. Either way, our bond will not last, because I'm not worth it."

"I guess the best way I'd describe it is... I think I might be lying to my friends. Once they find out, they'll either hate me or we'll naturally drift apart. And that's okay. It happens every time, so I don't expect this to be any different. I'm lucky I can even say hello to them at school, honestly. If I can't even recognize who 'myself' really is, then how can I expect my friends, who have known me less than a few months, to do so? I doubt even my siblings and Papa know who I'm really supposed to be. I could put up a request for a change of heart on the Phan-Site, but I'm also worried. If they change my heart and I become more selfish, my personality will change. I will come to terms with the idea of hurting people, and I'll start to heal. And... I don't think I want that. Maybe that in itself is a bad sign, but I'd rather die. I don't know why, but I get the feeling I might not wake up soon..."

#🌸 ~ in character ~ 🌸 #🌸 ~ persona 5 verse ~ 🌸 #🌸 ~ anon asks ~ 🌸 #tw: suicidal ideation #tw: depression #thank you for this ask :D #i think this is a kind of feeling that is very relatable #and these feelings are based on things i have felt irl in the past #i don't feel them now but because i felt them before #i think i can write about them and make them feel real and understandable #this does not describe anxiety for everyone #but there are some overlaps that i think others might share #i've had anxieties like this even when i had lots of friends before #but friends can't always see what's lying beneath the mask #only sylvia can truly see what is underneath there #and she hates what she sees #so naturally others should too right? #that's her thought process

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love

This is so sweet thank you @harryissuchalittleshit 🥰🥰🥰🥰!!

1 & 2. Boys Don’t Cry and We Can Be Heroes - the first is about the prank, from Sirius’ pov and the second folles on from that and is canon marauders (Jily and Wolfstar) from post-prank to Halloween ‘81, except with a different ending (which is canon, the other is a ridiculously angsty AU, from that fic writer who that wrote Cursed Child fanfic, yeah, I know…!) which I am very happy with 🥺😘

3. Maybe I Waited Too Long it’s Wolfstar and Jily as doctors with dark secrets that catch up with them… drama and romance, obviously with happy ending. Sirius works in the Emergency Department, Remus is in Endocrinology, Lily is Respiratory Medicine and James is in Psychiatry (and I stand over this!)

4. Nah, He Didn’t fluffy Blackevans brotp comedy - Lily tells a random, cute black dog about her feelings for the Quidditch Captain…

5. This Is The Way The World Ends okay it’s angsty af and most of you would hate it because sad ending, but it’s one of my favourite things I’ve written 🤷‍♀️ (Remus’ lycanthropy catches up with him)

#kind asks #thank you 💕💕💕💕 #loveliest tumblr friends #fic writers #favourite fics #the first 2 took me so long to write and work out plots and timelines and cover stupid plot holes!!!! #the doctor one borrowed from irl #the Blackevans is always one of my favourite ideas their friendship is canon #the last one made me cri rest my case #crying can be horrible or sad but not depressing #this was me

[vintageseawitch]

it's funny to me how certain hyperfixations seem to start: all of a sudden, like a damn avalanche, because my new extremely passionate obsession with Lucius Malfoy has kind taken me by surprise - not necessarily because i've been okay with him being portrayed as pure evil or truly redeemed or completely ridiculous or just out for himself in fic (any if these worked since other characters were my main focus anyways), but rather because he's blond lmao

#i like my shades of grey favs having dark hair #glob irl i'd punch him in the throat #but in certain fic goodness GRACIOUS #truly the definition of a dirty little secret lmao #better post it on tumblr then #think of me as you will but please remember he is FICTIONAL #he does NOT reflect my real life ideals and opinions #i can do what i want with him in my writing anyways #you can't deny that he's pretty amusing lmao #i'm not forgetting his atrocities but also #i truly believe he loves his family and that's so dang soft #lucius malfoy #the contrast of him with Severus? whether as friends or lovers? #*chef's kiss* #glob i want to tease him so badly lmao #anyways thank you for reading

Vent

#im so relieved that the only way you get to percieve me is through curated pictures and videos. that youll never see me in my bad days #or in my ugly clothes #or with horrible skin waking up with a hangover #youll never see my truly bad side #and im happy for that #your empty sweet promises lets me be the prettiest version of myself to you even if im not much to write home about compared to your friends #im perfectly fine with you never learning of my bad habits #never knowing how despicable i look when i cry or how pathetic i am about horror #not knowing how my body looks without posing #not knowing how i snore or how i am messy or how i dissociate staring into space #im happy you never get to see the truly ugly parts of me #even if youve already experienced me breaking down or being extremely attached over text #youll never have to handle that irl #thank god #i love you #your fake affection lets me pretend im better than i am #your many fake promises will never come true and thus you will never be disgusted by me #you wont have the chance to see me as anything but an annoying but averagely pretty person on the internet. im scared of meeting you. #and if you for some odd reason ever end up meeting me. i think it would hurt even more because once you leave youll never come back. #id never see you again. youd be out doing something else experiencing new exciting adventures meeting new gorgeous people #and giving empty promises to other love struck idiots like me. and theyll fall for you just as much. and theyll realise how youll never stay #youre never going to change #youre never going to belong to anyone. to anywhere. youll be a free person that destroys the hearts of us bystanders that you seduce #how am i ever to love someone else when you're this great. who would ever compare. who would even begin to be on your level. #i know youre so out of my league it catches me off guard every time you give me attention. #even if the only attention you give me is sexual. #it always leads to it being sexual. #i guess thats what im being kept around for #i wonder what you feel when you think of me. if you ever tell others about me. if you ever think of me. if i matter #but i know you dont feel anything. i know. im just another friend.

Eyooooooo, I came here because I got upset. Like REALLY fucking upset, you know?

I scrolled comfortably through tumblr, thought of nothing and the vast expanses of my life waiting to be filled with another fandom-brainrott and then saw this.

You.

You are out here and dare to think about your writing as, and I quote "not good enough for serious stuff", and I thought, I should ask you this in all polite sincery:

What the fuquè?

I shit you not, I love your writing. Honestly, I could and I would write you a whole essay about why, how and all the nuances of writing you hit.

All the snippets you serve, they are fucking 5 Star Michelin meals in my starved fanfic brain.

Like your beginnings, for starters. In fanfic in general it is often so, that the writer think that you have a basic knowledge about the stuff that is about to come. Yes, that's right but every writer writes characters differently so a general introduction is always helpful to get an insight about how the character is portrayed.

The problem with this, you loose the attention span and the curiousity of readers, if you slapp on a full chapter of introductions.

And you. You just skip this whole problem as if it doesn't even exist in the first place!

Like your VegasKim fic! You come all in, let us sink in the story and it feels so incredible smooth and real because you skip the detail descriptions and useless stuff and show what is important instead!

Your writing doesn't NEED any explainations and full fledged descriptions because you manage to captive us nonetheless!

You give the 100% concentrated plot, without anything that is nice to know but doesn't influence the story in even one bit.

And this is so amazing and incredible, so don't you dare to say otherwise!

But, to make sure, you won't get the impression that this is the only thing I love, lemme tell you some more. Okay, write some more.

Your view of the characters. And for this I can use any of your snippets, storys and texts but I specificly choose Arm's Investigation Bureau and Welcome to the Playground. And here is why:

Your knowledge about your characters is, no matter how different they are, incredible large and in detail.

For example, in Arm's investigation bureau, you focus on Arm's perspective and view of things and I understood every single one of his thoughts and choices.

You showed me, how he thinks and feels and how his view influences his way of thinking and acting. He is the autidiegetic narrator in this situation, so his view filters and influences our view of Vegas and Pete in this case.

And here is the cherry on the top of it, you pull it off that the viewpoint of Arm is enough to get information about all the other characters and situations.

You don't need to clarify anything with another point of view or a sentence from the perspective of another narrator, ARM. IS. ENOUGH!

And I am hitting the table right now, because DO YOU KNOW HOW HARDCORE AMAZING THIS IS?!?!?!? HOW FUCKING AMAZING YOU ARE?!?!?!

Which brings me to my second piece of evidence, this time from your story, Welcome to the Playground.

You introduced us to a character called "Reece" (I am crying about him while I am typing this and it is entirely your fault)

Reece is an OC, and in a full fledged fandom it is a hell of work to even get some reaction from readers towards oc's because in a lot of cases one focus naturally on the charas one already know. And that's okay, it's not bad. But it could be better. It could be like yours.

Because normally, an oc is a stylistic choice. It is nice but you often lack a deep connection. Never heared of it? Yep, I thought so, because again, you fucking skip this whole problem and go in with the solution as if you were born for it!

You show through Ken's perspective how Reece acts and how it affects not only Ken but also Vegas and their whole story. So you literally slam through the narrative without abandoning the red thread and plot of your story, AND HOW THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!?!??!?!

We TRIED so BAD to analyze how to call this structure, how to identify it and we couldn't find anything like this even in romans and books, this is so unique and so special that even bigger authors fail to portray but you do it like a walk in the park!!!!!!

You made me feel things about Reece, an complete unknown character, a blank space that you filled with his personality and his importance for the story since sentence one!

You not only made me like him, you made me cry about him! You let me feel Vegas rage, Ken's pain and the final snip that pulled him towards the Minor Family, I want to shake you so bad, then hug you and cry while yelling at you from where the fuck you could get the impression your writing would ever be not good enough for anything!

Don't think I am done with you!

Your writing is literally one of my favourite conversation topics with a friend of mine (hug the little snail if you see it and then kick it, it deserves it) and if you are able to get us two lazy pieces of wood to overanalyze every choice of words in our freetime you did something correct.

You are literally used as an example of good writing and storytelling for godsake, so don't you dare to let anyone, including yourself, telling you otherwise!

So be fucking sure, I fucking love you, your fantastic brain and your amazing writing!

Have a beautiful day and kick every asshole that tries to stand in your way and your passion of writing, no matter if human or intrusive thoughts, they try to bullshit you, so get over them, preferably with an SUV.

Peace✌

peace??? you can't send me this and then end it with a 'peace I'm out', what??? who are you and why did you decide murdering me is what you should do? hello? anon? come back?

this is one of those rare moments when i am so speechless i don't really know what to say.

thank you? i guess? marry me?

#i mean it in a good way but this made me cry #i am an emotional mess #grieving a loved one #and my relationship #i am a raw human emotion walking around #bleeding sadness everywhere #so this message was like a hug that i can't have irl #i don't even know what to say #nobody has ever analyzed the way i write??? #someone really likes what i write oh my god? #and also you talk to your friend about this??? #asdfghjkjhgfds #this is insane to me #and you sent me all your thoughts like that #this is like getting thousad ao3 comments at once #i don't know how to even thank you properly #if you want me to write you anything my askbox is always open? #ask #anonymous #long post #anon i love you so much you can't even imagine #i hope you are living your best life #💛💛💛

[wren-of-the-woods]

For 5. A fic I haven't read yet from you, but I want to

I definitely want you to write a fic where Jaskier is transformed into a bird and now Geralt has to take care of him. Maybe he's injured and can't fly, but luckily Geralt is surprisingly good at the care and keeping of tiny, chattering birds 😌

This concept is brilliant. I have a new WIP and it's entirely your fault.

It's a terrible photo, but I doodled a sandpiper in a hat the other day and that's combinging with this ask to give me so many ideas...

From this ask game!

#jin you KNOW birds are my weakness #i should be editing spectre's soul and attending to irl responsibilities #but i'm so tempted to just write this instead #i think i have another drawing of a sandpiper in a hat from a while ago... i should find that #idk if i ever posted it #also ignore the doodles surrounding it they're dwarves from the hobbit #anyway thank you very much for the ask my friend!! #samstree #wren talks #asks #writing inspiration #in which wren takes the sandpiper thing far too literally

[fairuzfan]

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.
