okay so I was talking with a friend about writing, and I was about to infodump about an au of mine over discord to them because I can't actually write out the ideas rn since ao3 is dOWN-
and they freaked out??? Apparently I'm weird for writing my works *in* ao3? Like I know people usually write in docs or something but I only feel motivated to write when I'm in the ao3 textbox HJLGFJGDH
So now I have a question for fellow writers on ao3:

I feel like every writer has created whole stories before around just that one specific scene that they thought of and really wanted to write. Sometimes I wonder what those scenes were for my favourite stories.

Deathworlders everywhere but in Space
This is sitting in my brain because I haven't seen anyone else do this, but take a second to think about this: There are other deathworlders in space, terrifying ones, huge monster orc things. They are massive and nightmarish and impossibly strong. So thats why humans stand out. Thats how we survive. Human's are terrifying because we aren't built for one biome, one climate or even one planet. We aren't necessarily the strongest or fastest or scariest looking, but we're built to survive fucking everything. What if other deathworlder's are almost always only made to survive in one climate? (similar to some of the most deadly predators on earth currently) All the other deathworlders are terrifying, yes, but the second they step off their planet they're weak. Massive aliens of hulking muscle but their planet's gravity is a lot lower than the standard, so they barely meet the average strength bar whenever they go outside their gravity zone. Aliens that have venomous spikes all over their body and look gnarly as shit but their venom has practically no effect on 99% of discovered intergalactic species. Deathworlders whose planet is the nether from minecraft IRl, but they can't survive in any other temperature for any amount of time because their body just can't handle the cold and regulate their temperate (or, vice versa for tundra species). Aquatic species that are kraken-like nightmares, giant sirens and deadly squid-like beings. But they can't leave their home at all, because theres a very specific chemical makeup of their water that isn't currently found within their life-span distance travel. Deathworlders that genuinely can barely survive off planet and are frail compared to even the most docile prey species whenever they have to travel. Their called deathworlders because going to their planet is certain death, but if they leave they'll be meeting death just as quickly. And then along come humans, and everyones like, oh, another deathworlder, nothing to worry abou- wait. These guys dont seem to loose any of their natural strength off planet... and their fast and strong... and- AND THEY CAN SURVIVE IN PRACTICALLY ANY CLIMATE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE??? HELLO? Oh and of course their predators. Of course most of their planet is completely uninhabitable for most of us. Mhm, yep. thats fair. Totally Basically, deathworlders are a thing, the more common 'terrifying alien monster' type, but their harmless because they can't survive like everyone else. They can't thrive like humans can. It scares the shit out of everyone for a wholeeeeee while, after all, no one ever expected a deathworlder that doesn't die.

Babe, stop bothering me, can’t you see that I’m busy daydreaming about putting pretty fictional men though hell?

You know, this might sound silly, but...I just realized that I can, in fact, write quick little one-shots with my ocs if I get stuck on their main storylines.
They're my stories, and I can write them how I want.

Another Batch of Vendetta Memes
Babe, wake up, it’s time for another batch of silly Vendetta memes 🤡😆 Just sharing some more memes I’ve shared in my Discord server 🤭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok, the last one is a bit sad 😔 But it’s the truth.
Before having MC and after running away from his family, Viktor was pretty lost. He knew he wants to make up for the horrible things he did, but at the same time, he also didn’t feel like he was doing anything worthwhile as a Vigilante.
When he first got into relationship with Yvette, he thought she was the one who would finally anchor him and give him a new purpose, but of course it didn’t work out.
But from the moment he first held MC in his arms, he felt like his life was complete. He knew that the remaining of his life would be dedicated to his precious child. They brought him true joy they hadn’t felt for years and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for them and their safety.

thinking about how erotica/erotic scenes in literature/porn with/without plot scenes are inherently character/relationship study genres and it is in fact a hill i will die on that you cannot write a good erotic scene without centering character/relationship dynamics in the same way you would for a SFW character and/or relationship study because emotional intimacy is at the core of every sexual encounter, even casual ones, and to write a sex scene that doesn't center those dynamics is to do a disservice to the genre
in this essay i will

Putting your characters in a kidnapping scenario is a great way to practice characterization because there are just so many ways you can take being kidnapped. Are they terrified and crying? Or calm and determined? Screaming and yelling curses or making jokes? How about begging for mercy? Immediately getting violent?
And when/if they break, how does their behavior change? You can have a character start calm and collected and turn paranoid after weeks or months in captivity. Iconically, take your defiant and cocky character and make them scared and meek. Take the sweet innocent character and turn them into a monster. How would your OC develop if they were in a problem like this?
My closing statement is, test your characters. Like a geode, you need to break it to see the gems inside.

"Why don't they just go ahead and kill me already? The suspense of my impending doom is boring." I said, leaning against the bars of my prison.
"They're not going to kill you." Villain said mildly, not looking at me as he rearranged some things in his satchel.
"I'm the only thing standing between the emperor and his throne. Imagine you're peacefully ruling and then the rightful heir to your throne shows up all powerful and gorgeous like me. Like, even I would kill me."
"They're not going to kill you." Villain finally looked up at me. "Not while I'm here."

Don’t get me wrong I love how everyone has collectively agreed to look at Imogen’s low strength and ignore it because farm girl Imogen should be a little beefy and I agree….
but. where. is. the. angst????
Where’s the: Imogen is so ostracized in Gelvaan that she’s eventually stopped doing all the hard labor jobs because her she keeps getting purposefully sidelined.
Where’s her father seeing her try to haul stuff around and saying “Imogen leave that to someone else, go do inventory in the back�� “Imogen stop dragging that around and go brush the horses over there” “Imogen put that down and organize these reports in the office”
Where are the stories of homegirl’s abysmal strength being the result of her neglect????

Only non-writers would dare to look a writer in the eye and say that writing on a laptop/pc and your phone is the same thing.
