Writing Commisions open once again!

Hello y'all! It's been a while hasn't it? I do need to get better about updating this blog when I actually write things, and wouldn't you know I have done! I even managed to finally finish Chapter 5 of Surprise, Surprise!

What may not surprise you though is that I still remain in financial difficulty. Living alone and working in another city is difficult, and I'm trying to find something that either pays more or is closer to home (preferably both). In the mean time, my writing commissions are once again open!

It'll be the usual prices, which I'll list again below. And as always, if i do end up going over the paid amount I will not charge you extra (I won't complain if you want to give more though :3)

1,000 words: £20

3,000 words: £60

5,000 words: £100

Things i’m willing to write: 

I'm on a RWBY kick and would prefer to write that, but in terms of fandom the list now includes:

-RWBY -She-Ra -Gravity Falls -Final Fantasy 14 -Dungeons and Dragons -K/DA -Avater: The Last Airbender (This one I may be pickier on if you desire it)

If there is something else you want feel free to ask, and I can see if it's something I know about and feel comfortable attempting!

Obviously I am open to writing NSFW! I've got very few no no's on this, but for ease I am not willing to write scat, filth, hyper, vore, or underage. Anything else, ask and I'll see.

Continuations: Is there a one shot i did you want to see a new chapter/follow up on? I’m open to talk about them.

Posting:

The commissioner will get first read of the final product after it goes through edits and beta reading, and can request any changes. Afterwards I’d like to post them up on AO3, followed by Tumblr a week later. (actual posting to Tumblr may vary)

To contact me for comissions email me at [email protected], or through the messaging systems here. I also have a Discord available upon request if people find that easier.

Multiple slots open!

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

#i’m five foot three and terrified of confrontation but i’ll go down swinging #andi would like me to add that she and i are standing on top of each other in a trench coat fighting for u all #thea is also wearing a trench coat but it’s just her and tutter in there #u all better fear thea’s fully developed frontal lobe and streamlined leadership experience (her words) #but seriously guys like #maybe i’m taking fandom too seriously or whatever but i know how scary it can be to put urself out there #especially in fandom spaces where the whole point is u want to enjoy urself and be accepted and not be judged #i’d be lying if i said that luck and timing wasn’t a huge part of why ppl enjoy my fics #and i’m flattered that my name shows up in rec lists a lot but. there are so so so many talented writers that go unnoticed when ppl fixate #on the same 5-6 names #and i know bc i’ve been them for other fandoms! #especially in this community there is such a big issue with putting big creators up on a pedestal #expecting them to be perfect and to keep churning out high quality stuff for free on demand #twt is something else too . like i’m not even talking abt that rn #and people always saying stuff like #‘atp i refuse to read fics unless they’re by _ or _ or _’ #just know that even if u are not one of these names u are so so valued and appreciated #get behind me fr #ok Bye <3333333 #🫂 #byler #/astro posts

HAPPY BLOG ANNIVERSARY!

it's  officially  midnight  here,  which  means  i'm  allowed  to  post  this!  so ...  happy  one  year  anniversary  of  enduring  the  plague  of  avalon  upon  your  dashboards!  alternatively,  thank  you  so  much  for  giving  me  a  place  to  babble  about  my  #1  favorite  comfort  character  who  has  experienced  zero  comfort.  (  i  swear  i  am  being  SO  NORMAL  about  this.  yes i did literally buy  cake  and  party  hats.  )  whether  we  speak  on  the  daily,  you've  just  gotten  here  or  anywhere  in  between,  i  want  to  extend  my  sincerest  gratitude  for  being  on  this  absolutely  wild  ride  of  a  blog  with  me.  there's  been  ups  and  downs,  but  ultimately  i  feel  like  my  passion  for  writing  has  been  ignited  stronger  than  it's  ever  been  before.  i  am  still  always  so  excited  whenever  i  get  the  chance  to  log  on  here  and  create  stories  with  all  of  you  —  and  i  wouldn't  have  that  opportunity  if  it  wasn't  for  this little  corner  of  the  internet  you've  helped  make truly special.

there  are  so  many  of  you  i  feel  lucky  to  have  met.  (  and  so  many  i  would  love  to  get  to  know  better,  too!  )  i  hope  we  can  continue  writing  together  for  many  more  anniversaries  to  come.  and  if  the  day  ever  comes  that  they  finally  pull  the  plug  on  this  cockroach  of  a  hellsite,  i'll  forever remember  this  community  as  the  rpc  that  got me to  laugh  at  petrichor.

have  a  wonderful  day  /  night!  i'm  sharing  the  cake  with  everyone  in  spirit.

i, like every other fic author in existence, love getting comments from people who enjoyed my work. i don't care if your comment is "late" (that's so weird to me like it's literature—do you apologize to homer for being late to reading the odyssey?) or "unintelligible" (late night commenters, english language learners, people who feel like they "just aren't that good with words", believe me, i entirely understand what you mean and appreciate it immensely), or anything else that you feel might make your comment 'not good enough'. i love all of the comments i receive and i am eternally grateful to all of you for your continued support.

and yeah, i've read fics where i felt like adding a comment would be doing the fic a disservice because there was nothing that could be said that wouldn't cheapen or patronize the magnum opus i'd just witnessed. in instances like this, that is exactly what i say in the comment: "there's nothing i can say that doesn't do this work of art a disservice. thank you for writing this."

actually, now that i think about it, there are a bunch of ao3 comments i've gotten that i still haven't replied to because i felt any thanks i could give would be inadequate. i should really get around to replying because i want them to know how spellbound they left me. i love you all, have i ever mentioned that?

all of that being said, i would like to make a public service announcement!

at least under default settings, ao3 authors do get notified every time you edit a comment. i've accidentally hit send too early before, or realized i forgot something i wanted to say, i get it, i really do. i have edited many comments in my day.

but you don't have to do this. really, it's okay. most of the time i honestly can't tell what the difference is. i'm not going to think worse of you for having typos in your comments because i guarantee that there were more in the fic you just read sfkljghsl

also these edits were over the course of twenty full minutes. i got another email while writing this post and had to update the image. please do not spend 20 minutes agonizing over your comment and changing the capitalization and adding a few words. it's okay, i promise. i love your comment, and i'm very very grateful for it, regardless of how "polished" it is. i'm not your english teacher in disguise.

tl;dr, i love you all and i hope you don't feel anxiety or a compulsion towards perfectionism in my ao3 comments section. i won't judge you, i promise <3

#squido's op #squido rambles #i hope i don't sound annoyed because i don't want to sound annoyed #but also that was a lot of emails #if they were different comments that would be sick i love that #but on several occasions i've had edit spam #and i don't really understand the logic behind it #i figured that people just don't know that we get notified every time you edit a comment #so that's all i wanted to say really but i got sidetracked with appreciation because i think someone plugged some of my works somewhere #because i've been seeing a big uptick in comments lately and it's really really sweet #i haven't written for this fandom (or at all really) in a long time now so i'm always really really happy to see my works are still #out there and being read and loved and affecting people. i do still plan to finish hfwkadwm i promise #i guess i have writer's block >:/ never had it quite like this before #BUT I SAID I WAS GONNA FINISH IT AND I AM #MARK MY WORDS I'LL FINISH THIS FIC OR DIE TRYING #eventually

i am awake when the moon splits apart. i watch it, groaning and screaming, the fine lines of shattering rock, with wide eyes and my curtains pulled apart. the insect netting has long since torn, and the lamp on my ceiling is buzzing.

they are looking for light, at night. in the soft glow of a dying moon, they fashion my room into the night sky. when I unscrew the cover in the morning, i will find them, with burnt wings and curled legs.

i will flush them down the toilet or throw them into the trash. then I will scrub the glass, and screw it back on.

I will not fix the insect netting.

tonight, i watch the moon, as though i am once again small enough to be tucked under my father's chin and enveloped by his hands. i am, for a moment, laying on my back reaching for the little wooden crescent that has not yet broken off the mobile. the sky is bright, and in the building opposite me, an advertisement flickers.

the insects buzz. I lean out of my window. underneath my palms, my windowsill creaks.

tomorrow, I will pick pieces of moon from my pavement. tomorrow, the world will no longer spin about that same axis.

i will watch.

a gentle reminder to myself: slow down when you're met with someone else's creation. just because it's not in a museum, doesn't mean it's not worth your time. you can skim through your life all you want, you can jump over the annoying cracks and never look back, but when someone presents you (in the most literal meaning of this word – as a gift) with their art you should sit down and pay back with attention. people need creativity that is shared and appreciated, and it needs your focus and care to bloom properly. briefness kills both the idea and the community around it. so, slow down.

#idk how to tag this #art #writing #artists on tumblr #writers on tumblr #i refuse to use this website as another mindless scrolling machine when there are a hundred different ways to engage with people #and it's so sad we've allowed to separate the art from the artist. to the point where you put the creator on a pedestal #and their art on an unreachable wall #behind some kind of a glass covering. the word “content” makes me physically sick #when it should be: stories shared in warmth and laughter by a fireplace. arm in arm. sharing notes and comments like friends. #or. drawings seen by your friends in all stages of creation. bonus points if your sketching game is horrible and the initial colors suck #i can mourn the artists who's works i adore because i'll never get to tell them how much they mean to me #but i can tell the ones alive just how much they've impacted me and i think it counts. like. so much. #marcela talks

Thank you for sharing this anon! I'm sorry I left this in my inbox for a long while but I finally got to read it and it's very beautiful ;w;

The motifs and structure, the vivid imagery and tone are all so well done :,)) (the age 20 one killed me orz)

Go read it if you have the time folks! It's a really beautiful one-shot

I especially love the last lines augh

#also the way how the writer showed skk's separation #bc same idk if its a hot take but i doubt chuuya felt the drastic grief or betrayal when dazai left #yeah he probably thought of it in some sort of bitter manner? but not necessarily 'oh i hate you for betraying me and leaving me behind' #sorry i dont really join discourse but thats my hot take #extra hot take is that chuuya of all people would understand and even support dazai leaving to respect a friend's dying words #i wonder if he suddenly thought of murase #okay bye i am not gonna spiral to angst aksjhalskg #but thanks for the fic recommendation anon! #inbox #fic rec

The loneliness eats

Even while bits of my heart

Are held in your hands.

#haiku #my poetry #words by me #daily haiku #original poetry #mine #writers on tumblr #poets of tumblr #poem #I don't know how to stop feeling lonely #I feel so separate from everyone else #like I'm watching real life from behind a pane of glass #and no one else knows I'm the only person on the other side #unrequited feelings are so hard

i still think about the day i read that poem out loud to the class. the teacher said choose a poem from this book and read it and put in emotion and bring it to life. i chose a poem the most beautiful of all and waited impatiently for my turn. expecting to be praised as always. when i stood in front of the class i was nervous, but i felt good. the poem was long and i kept reading the ball rang and i kept reading. no one said anything, so i didn't stop. when i finished, i wasn't aware of any mistake. it was only when my teacher thanked me that this feeling started to cave in: thank you, you chose a lovely poem. i left the classroom and this feeling kept growing. i did something wrong, of course. replaying the situation in my head i understood too late. they didn't want me to read for that long or i didn't read it well enough. probably one because of the other. and that's the worst part: not that i wasn't good for once. but that i didn't get it. that i kept going, thinking they liked me unaware of the obvious cues. no, that's not the worst part. it was a good poem, they liked the poem in itself. they just didn't like the way i read it - i ruined a beautiful thing. simply by touching it simply by giving all that i was because the truth is: not that i wasn't good enough it's that i'm something that will never be liked. i still think about the day i read that poem out loud to the class.

#my queue is almost empty so i'm posting some original stuff lol #this one is pretty personal #can you call this a poem? #i mean it doesn't have a lot of stylistic stuff i mostly just spilled my thoughts #also i made some parts longer on purpose congrats to whoever gets the meaning behind it #writeblr #writers and poets #spilled ink #spilled poetry #spilled words #spilled writing #(what's with all these popular tags starting with “spilled” lol) #my poem #personal #vent poetry #vent poem #poetry #original poem #sorry for any mistakes #idk if my english is good enough for this stuff

hiii--- i know you mostly post/write about other fandoms but i just want to say that graceful degradation is probably one of THE best fics ive read of all time and i love it so so so much, it had me screaming into my pillow at like 2 in the morning. its such a unique and creative take on his backstory and the ANGSSTTT. oh my god...u are a genius

Thank you so much!!! Portal 2 was something I never imagined myself writing for, but I'm very glad I did, because writing that fic was a blast. It came out of my fondness for 'Flowers For Algernon' (which I read many years ago but has been stuck in the back of my mind ever since) and my need for a Portal fic that suited my particular niche of interests (which included, of course, my dear old friend angst). I'm so glad to hear you think of it so highly! That really means a lot 🥰

#ask #wheatley #wheatly portal 2 #portal 2 #portal #my fanfic #my fanfiction #I'm pretty sure i know who sent this so thank you very much for reccing the story to others. that was delightful to see :D #and yeah unfortunately i am very much a throw a fic grenade into the fandom and then run off kind of writer #(with some exceptions) #i don't imagine I'll be writing any more portal fanfic in the future but i am very proud of the one that i did do :) #it was really fun writing in a more humourous style than usual (in what ironically is one of my most devastating fics) #(which i suppose is very fitting to the nature of the portal games themselves. a true comedy of horrors) #if you're looking for other great portal fics i have to recommend you the OG good portal fic: Blue Sky by wafflestories (fanfic.net) #if you haven't already of course. there's a reason it's famous (that is to say wow it's good) #it was big inspiration behind me writing my own portal story #anyway! thank you again 100× over! i truly do appreciate your words 💜

I’m going to be late on today’s post. Sorry! I’m already at 3k words, and I can’t imagine I’ll be able to finish the request before 9pm, even without breaks. TT^TT

Edit: writing Simeon’s part took me forever (to be honest, my brain is a little foggy). So I’m going to aim to get the new request (MC giving flowers to the others) up tomorrow afternoon/evening, but I guess that kinda works, since it is a bit Valentine’s Day-ish.

#moss update #ugh we’re not even half way through the month and I’m already falling behind. big yikes #but I don’t want to rush it and have it suck either sooo #….sad. #guys this post is probably going to be around 5k words #and I’m such a slow writer. I swear. #ya boy picks their words so carefully and goes back to restudy information

[starbylers]

In light of the user who posted the sign posting a selfie that is decidedly not Kate, I’ll just say that stranger writers clearly have no problem calling out fake news (the 8flix scripts, Netflix France saying filming has begun, incorrect casting rumours). And yet they were silent about signgate, something which actually directly implicated them in a situation. They had allegations of exposing a major s5 plot twist, basically confirming an extremely controversial ship to be becoming canon, and they don’t even give a vague ‘no spoilers come from us’ type tweet to curb the rumours. Regardless of the validity of that sign, they were okay with people thinking it was made by a writer so that tells me all I need to know (Byler endgame).

#byler #also we have no idea who this person is there could be some legitimacy behind it but even if not my point stands #it was all over Twitter and Reddit no way they didn’t see it #and it’s not just some word of mouth oh I work for production leak thing it was an actual sign at the actual writers strike #posing as an actual writer #like I guess there’s a SMALL chance they didn’t see it but I highly doubt #anyway all our genuine proof comes from the show itself things like signgate are just extra little treats

i know the Willow Mellow lore gets worse the longer you dig inside of it + it reflects even Worse on the writers when you put the actual words on her situation but let's not forget Darlings she is a child. she is 15 to 17yo depending on what piece of documentation we refer to, too young to consent to sex and therefore does not fit the category of "sex worker", and instead falls under the definitions of "sexually exploited youth", more specifically "sexually exploited child", as UNICEF, UNESCO, Convention for the Rights of the Child, [...] and general common sense all define "child" as "person under the age of 18".

she is the victim of kidnapping by her """adoptive father""" and of sexual exploitation by her (presumably adult) "clients" (as she does not appear to have a pimp, and is instead written saying she loves what she does and such giddy teehee fun. [powerful side-eye through someone in the writing team.] [she's not a Real Person I have to stress, so someone wrote her like this, wrote this kid like this.] [it is all part of a narrative in which she is struggling to shake off her "father's" exploitation, an inherently tragic one, but she still was written that way, and could have been written any other way, with any other "rebellious" act]). calling her a sex worker as a child who is basically the same age as P2 Capella or Grace is putting her in a Grown-Up category especially harmful considering we are supposed to read her as an indigenous girl, member of the Kin (even if her lore is Mysterious and Hazy) and indigenous women and girls are sexualized in racialized ways which often paint them as more ~~~naturally~~~ sexually liberated, or docile, or submissive, or [insert racist x sexist stereotype promoted by colonizers to excuse the mistreatment of indigenous women and girls].

tldr yes it's worse when you actually call her what she actually is, and worse tenfold when you read what the writers make her say about it [even as an inherently tragic situation that we can recognize and put words on (hence this post), she could have been written any other way, with any other rebellious act, but you know.] but you know x2 (SIDE-EYES SOMEONE ON THE WRITING TEAM VERY HARD TIL ME EYES POP OUT ME SKULL)

#/!\ POST ABOUT SEMANTICS. POST ABOUT SEMANTICS ALERT. /!\ #this is not pointed or written with wicked intents btw ^ i've seen it a few times from different people and it's just that if we want to be #able to talk about these things within the narrative and how the depictions of the Kin impact the around-game/critique this game in general #game (esp. p1 which is very much about. words and wording and navigating webs of words among so many other things) #we have to be able to name these things. especially in relation to. d*bowski do you mind coming to the mic and telling us #what was behind your head. no pressure sir #protecting this kid from the writing with my entire body like that one soldier meme #ooh d*bowski you are not making it out alive i'll tell you that much. #in the same way you wouldn't call mcdonalds hiring 14yo ''employment'' you'd call it. exploitative child labor. #but it's even worse because <3 aw the misogyny oozing through the pores of a lot of the patho narrative #because of maybe perhaps allegedly the head writer. allegedly! #how the fuck am i supposed to tag any of this #csa / #willow mellow #willow pathologic #pathologic #it'd be Less Worse if she was an adult bc at least she could consent [in a vacuum; if we ignore the fact that she's a kidnapping victim; #if we ignore the fact that the Kin who she merges with sees its women be sexualized and its ways of life crushed by the colonizers #and assimilated in ways they might not like; etc] but yknow. detailed herb brides bodies and whatnot.
