#yeah I have a bunch of fics in the works

[dazais-crab-addiction]

Guys guys guess what!!! I'm still struggling with health issues and writing takes a lot of effort I just don't have the energy for. But some friends decided it could be fun to do a little fanfic/fanart collab. And it's just a silly casual thing so its okay that it will take me a really long time. So im gonna be working on an enby Dazai fic that will get fanart with it!!!! I'm really excited. I hope it turns out good. This will be the first project I'm working on since I went of hiatus and im worried it will escalate my issues again but im going to try anyways. Wish me luck!!!!

#crab says words #crab writes fics #anyone that remembers that post i made back in January about enby Dazai..... thats basically what the fic will be about :D #im so hyped because so many people have expressed excitement over it now #even if it takes me a super long time to be able to finish it since its a casual thing with friends i know they wont be upset with me #i dont participate in events because people get irritated when i cant go fast enough aha #anyways yeah i just wanted to share #friendly reminder that even tho im talking about it now it does usually take me several months to write a short oneshot so it will be awhile #i hope my health issues dont make it take a lot of extra time because i will feel so bad haha 😅 #if i manage to do this without a bunch of issues then i will end my hiatus and continue working on the soukoku fic :) #we shall see #i hope it all works out!!

For the kiss meme! Ed/Stede, 24

…in danger.

They were sailing into a storm.

It couldn't be helped. A Spanish naval ship - twice as big as the Revenge - was on their tail, and a squall was whipping up. Ed swore it would be the best way to get rid of them.

"Big boat like that, fuck of a lot easier for them to capsize when the waves pick up," he said. "They'll turn round and scamper off home. We'll be all right."

He sounded very confident. He looked very confident. But Stede couldn't keep from glancing up every time the sails snapped, or from flinching every time the hull groaned. Winds howled in every direction - the salt spray soaked everyone's clothes and left them freezing. It was, frankly, terrifying.

It was impossible to hide it. He'd never been much good at concealing his feelings, just at pushing them down to stop himself from really having any, and he'd lost that trick some time ago through lack of practice.

So when he stood on the quarterdeck, his hands clenched around the rail and his eyes turned up to the dark clouds, he knew his face must be betraying him. "I'm sorry," he said when he heard Ed's familiar footsteps come up behind him. "I don't doubt your expertise, I just -"

Ed cut him off with a rough kiss that said as much or more than any words: I wasn't entirely truthful and things are getting tricky and I am not going to let ANYTHING happen to you or anyone else on board this ship. One hand wound itself into Stede's wind-tangled hair and the other grasped his waist to pull him close; Stede clung to him in return, feeling his disquiet retreat, at least a little.

When Ed pulled back, he was breathing hard. "Get below, okay? Put on some dry clothes, warm up, and get the bed full of the pillows I like for when I can finally go to sleep."

"Right." Right. That was something he could do. "And you -"

"I'll be down soon as I can, and that's a fucking promise."

just a little sad noises post which may get deleted but

i'm in wanting to trying to but can't really write moment. and it ssucks cause I wanna! but also im just soooo tired. work is a lot (more markets, more creative deadlines) so having a weekend where i can do nothing and not create is so valuable yet here i am beating myself up about it lol. anyway idk why i feel so upset and guilty abt this? but welp . im just really exhausted and near tears over it

#tomorrow i slide into a 7 day work week #ending in a 2 day convention #then i get like one (1) day off before i have to hit the decks runnning again and its all oh i make my own schedule i can take breaks?? #but if the work doesn't get done #if the art/product isn't done by the deadlines i don't have that art/product later down the line and i don't get paid #so yeah today i have beaten myself up about not writing a bunch of times but lol i need to be kinder #so instead i made this post and writing it out im like yes actually #its fine if you wanna girl lay down and read fic all day #so thats what im gonna do #sorry this is a mini emotional moment TM i will probably delete #just needed to get out the stress

[leatherbookmark]

i love how passionate and emotional fic seongjoong is when irl they're like... an arranged marriage... lol

#not to say that they don't like each other or anything but. atz in particular seem quite aware (and not hiding it) of the practice of #ships -- not as in 'fans produce fanworks of you' but rather 'fans like your dynamics! play it up a little' #and the leader + the second 'highest' member are almost always shipped together as the 'mom' and 'dad' #which kind of doesn't make sense because a marriage usually precedes having children but in kpop is like. well here's a group and you're #two eldest members so you automatically get the mom/dad positions. sometimes it works -- whether automatically or because the #aforementioned members feel the need to take care of other members as they're the eldest -- but sometimes the dynamic is clearly #just there for the fans. and i can't help but notice that a whole bunch of 'moments' in 'seongjoong compilations' are like... not authentic #moments of them enjoying their time together but them being awkward/having awkward banter/doing fanservice during fanmeetings #and that's Different from the organic air ie woosan have #this is not to make fun of seongjoong fans because I PERSONALLY put very dramatic seongjoong in my hashtag Fic Verse #but then my fic verse was kickstarted because of that hwalazia magic and a single line in atz diary from fever 1. so it is. shall we say. #not particularly canon-inspired. #but i WOULD kill and die for every single fanfiction in which seongjoong aren't romantic sweethearts at the first sight but rather Struggle #i feel like Struggling is this... sort of a facet of their Brand... and so is mutually taking care of each other lol #they're like. this arranged marriage couple who grew to care about each other. not like 'oh shit two months in i realized i'm incredibly in #love with my spouse!' but 'yeah yknow what i like you here. stay' #good afternoon everyone enjoy this meandering and probably incorrect analysis of a relationship between two kpop lads #shrimp thoughts

Changes for wip roundup? 👀

anna!! sorry for taking so long answering this one as well!! but thank you SO MUCH for indulging my wolcred propaganda! <3

And lright this one is a MESS. I wrote it right when I was playing endwalker and I was really overwhelmed with the story™ that I made  mess of this wip so like for the last few months or so I’ve been working on rewriting everything lol so I’ll give you some of my thoughts abt it and a small snippet since I can’t get anything more substantial that I’m satisfied with lol

wip roundup :)

This fic is like following right after the scions are back from the moon. I was overwhelmed with the fact that the WOL didn’t have much saying with the twins and how Fourchenault reacted to them. I was like, yeah, she’s proud of them. They deserve to know that, but also, I’m not sure she would be brave enough to do so. So well this fic starts with me realizing like “alright, thancred would get it. better than anyone” so the first part follows him seeing how she reacts to everything that’s happening with the WOL and making the connections like how he felt about ryne, etc etc

But of course,,, my excuse for this fic was Thesa’s haircut first and foremost. Basically I hc Azem to have insane long hair, and Thesa always had longer hair, and this is like the first time she cut it out and it’s incredibly short. Basically the second part goes from her having a bit of breakdown seeing the moon burning + overthinking about that image of hythlo she saw on the moon and everything that happened there and going “I need new. The final days can’t happen again, things gotta change NOW.” Until she interrupts my Alisaie like knocking on the door which is like the cannon visiting for her during that quest!!

And ofc Alie changes her mind a bit… but she still gets that feeling so this is SO SPECIFIC but like you know the whole “wrapping the red thing around your thinger so you don’t forget?” She does it with a strand of hair, just a reminder (things he has lost etc etc) and chops everything off. But then, ofc, the beginning alone isn’t enough for me so the last part is Thancred’s reaction to it, since I like to think they spend their nights together whenever they can and they DEFINITELY would want to on this one night. There is a bit of that part before any rewriting lol:

A knock on door cut off any other conclusion that Thesa would have come with. She hadn't heard footsteps down the hallway, and the beat was too light to be anyone else — though she doubted many others besides Alisaie would be awake and willing to visit after a day like this. So she calls his name lightly as she walks to the door, and from the suppressed laugh, she was sure.

“It's me.” Thancred’s voice is softer beyond the closed door. She finally quickened her pace to unlock it when he laughed again. “I hope you didn't have to crawl under the covers to-”

From the look he had on his eyes, Thancred seemed to have specific intentions for the visit. However, as soon as she appeared from behind the door and their eyes finally met, the hyur could have sworn that all the thoughts he had — along with all the rehearsed words he had cooked up - slipped his mind.

Thesa freezes for a second too, unsure how to react. Maybe she would explain later, but for some reason, she waited for his reaction to continue.

Thancred seemed entranced for a second as a smile seemed to bump into his face, and then, he made the greatest effort to move; forcing his hand up until he finally reached the messy strands. His right hand stops to her left side, with his thumb behind his ear so he could feel each of the threads between his fingers — clenching his fist to lightly pull them and feel them falling off before repeating the same thing but resting his palm next to her face.

“By the twelve.” He says in a sigh, slightly embarrassed to clearly see the situation they were in as his left hand reached for the longer loose strand and curled it around his fingers before resting his hand on the side of her face, cupping her cheeks, and finally confessing, exactly, the same conclusion of hers. “Perfect.”

He looked at her with different eyes than First and even more different than Walking Sands. Eyes that stretched far farther than he had previously seen — and yet, without missing all the admiration and affection he had always carried. Maybe slightly more, even.

"For a second I didn't recognize you," he smiled, tugging lightly on the strand with a teasing smile, which soon turned into a relieved sigh when he tilted his head to the side, finally meeting her eyes again. "But there she is."

#it just feels ooc for some of them and I don't like how I did some of the exposition so yeah rewriting it. I just need to get in the right #headspace to finish it lol those more canon ones makes me anxious to finish for NO REASON other than my girl deserves the best. so yeah. #ALSO fun fact I feel like I need to share: this fic is only something bc I was frantically doodling on my sketchbook after finishing that #quest. i have the date here lol 3/3/22 (not that long ago ik) but yeah i end up with thumbnail for this little comic #with a BUNCH of notes around it. its kinda overly angsty bc i was feeling like thag at the time bc HYTHLO's “Don't you agree hades?” OR WTV #the notes summarizes to 'but then it does not matter if you hair feels lighter because you have their images engraved in #your mind and you do not have the strength to cut those off so all you do is ask /what now/ but haven't you learned? images can't talk' #and the progression of the coming is her cutting her head and the panels kinda move like a camera to finalize focusing on her back staring #at a mirror reflection the image of emet (black robs + hole in his chest) and the image of hythlo she has for now (from the moon cutscene) #so yeah...... maybe it all started with my hythazemet brainrot and then the fic was too much on alisaie and thancred so i had trouble #idk findinh middle ground with what I wanted ?? but yeah... I'm someday finish rewriting it THIS IS NOT my best exposure of my wolcred work #u guys I'm gonna be honest.... but it's mostly bc i love writinh them being sooo independent so it makes sense when i play and i forget #they are important to my cannon for her lol xiv is just so love coded. all the kinds of love. and i love them all so much its A LOT BUT YEAH #ill stop rambling now LMFAO sorry for this anna but yeah this is my excuse to why thesa will never have 100% short hair #I'll always pick the short + braids hair which is why: 1. im happy the pvp hair is available for viera now and 2. im SO HAPPY with the new #7.0 hairs... there's one there that OOOOH BOY... I WANT THAT. if it fits her it's giving dawntrail :) if it doesn't welp pvp hair it is #but again YEAH THATS IT SORRY FOR TAKING EXTRA LONG I was going through like 3 sketchbooks back to search for this sketch comic lmao #and also... writing this whole essay why can i never be concise man... ANYWAH KDJFJDJDJD TY AGAIN ANNA!! #I'm always here for wolcred on wolcred action ❤️ #ask game #ask #kelly says #my writing #myreia

Like. Realistically speaking….. Sleep Token members are either 1). Already lurking on tumblr or 2). Avoiding Tumblr at all costs.

For the most part I feel like, this part of the fandom, we tend to stick to ourselves, and we respect their anonymous decision, and we don’t try to cause trouble (for the most part). We are just here, discussing theories, and lyric analysis, and just enjoying ourselves with fanart and things like that.

But then, we get a bit more horny then other places. Because this is tumblr. So. Horny thoughts get posted to main, and borderline inappropriate fan art gets more traction, and such (Edit: not to mention. The fanfics.) (I know it’s nothing compared to Twitter, but it’s Different then twitter in a way I can’t describe).

So. Yeah.

Either, they are like ‘oh yeah, they are great and they tag their stuff so we can avoid the things we don’t wanna see’ OR it’s like ‘oh no we avoid them. Fuck those guys’.

And honestly I hope it’s the second one, I do not wish to be perceived, and also everything I say is like. A lie. I have no horny thoughts, none whatsoever, not even just about sleep token, I just don’t have them, I don’t know what your talking about.

#very much so #sleep token #worshitposting #the last part is a joke I know I’ve said it before but I do write very kinky smut for fun. #but not just ST smut I write other fandoms!!! I am even working on an older fandom fic right now that’s gonna have a bunch of smut in it so #there!! haha!!! you can’t…. ok yeah you can judge me all you want don’t care

[un-pearable]

i treat all my interests like the repressed middle schooler i was - desperately hiding them and cringing whenever someone even insinuates they know i enjoy it while shamefully consuming content about it constantly in private - for about a month before i make a sharp 180 and become The most obnoxious about the subject and tell every single person in my life about it incessantly. this cycle repeats every single time

#for some reason consumption of content and shame about said consumption peak at the same time. the phase where i’m annoying about it #coincides with me finally chilling out lmao #this is why i’d been vaguing about ninjago for a month and now it’s. 90% of my posts outside of the fandub #agshdjdk actually i need to hunt down that screenshot of me being embarrassed to admit i wrote sonic fic back in early 2020. meanwhile #here i am hitting 20k on the sonic triple threat au outline alone #text✨ #anyway yeah uh. way more ninjago stuff incoming i have a mess of a queue to still work through and a bunch of nonsense meta #i get way too self conscious over bc i haven’t been able to finish a rewatch or catch up yet so i’m constantly worried i’m not canon agdhdjf #i was so embarrassed to get into sonic bc people in the LU fandom gave me shit for it #least amount of offense met but jfc did the LU fandom have just as many issues as sonic does. at least sonics fun about it #(has lingering frustration from my six month stint as an LU server mod. it was a Time.)

[storm-and-starlight]

having a mild freakout over forgetting a major canon event that actually influences literally everything about the character whose POV I am not only writing in but whose character arc is literally the driving factor of this entire goddamn fic

#like. the thing that is DRIVING ME NUTS is that I have been sitting here #trying for WEEKS to figure out an appropriate backstory event to drive the specific character development that I need for this fic #and it's right there! in canon! this ENTIRE TIME! #and not only did I forget about it I didn't even bother to skim the wiki! #me! who prides themself on writing things in-character and as true-to-canon for characters as possible! #and it isn't. actually. a huge issue. there is plenty of space in the narrative because like I said #I've been trying to come up with this kind of driving event for a while now and this just happens to slot in perfectly #because like... the themes of the character are all the same and the themes of the FIC are playing off the ones in canon and fanon #and since it's all connected it connects in the fic too #which means I don't need to do a bunch of edits to like... scene order and content I just need to slightly shift what they're about #and specifically what the main is thinking ABOUT while they're happening #which isn't really all that hard as editing goes #HOWEVER #I am both agonizing over the amount of editing I am going to need to do to the sections that drive character motivation #AND the sections wherein that character motivation and backstory drives character ACTION and therefore the plot #(this fic is like thirty thousand words already this is not a small task) #and I am also fully tearing my hair out over being enough of a dumbass to NOT EVEN THINK TO CHECK THE WIKI #WHEN I WAS ALSO AGONIZING OVER NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT KIND OF BACKSTORY #BUT IT WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME :( #anyways yeah I'm kind of an idiot and I've just made a whole bunch more work for myself because I was too confident in my own skill to just #check the fuckin' wiki and actually reread canon

Read an interesting new fic, but really it was the spider that sold me (Patreon)

#Doodles #The Little Mermaid #I feel like I could say just about anything is Scriabin's fault and by this point it'd be believable #Okay but it actually was!!! I'm telling you!! #It spiraled unexpectedly from there but he started it! He always starts it! #Lol #The chain of events was - Scriabin - Ariel - some MEPs featuring Ursula/Vanessa - fanfic searching - interspersed with music #Mostly Poor Unfortunate Souls and its reprise - Jodi Benson's voice work???? Come on #Impeccable #It really did bring back a bunch of memories of being Super into mermaids and having other Art Friends who could do the Disney mer style #Super cute #This fic in particular cemented it tho it's just so interesting ♪ Alien cultures under the surface! Fascinating #Plus a spider <3 Definitely inspired me to consider Ursula as a name for a Grammistola Pulchra maybe someday ♪ #As if I'm not already head over heels for that tarantula /what/ a beauty #Bauble was extremely cute too haha I like seahorse mers as well :D I think I have one somewhere in the deep backlog lol #Considering size differences was interesting - they'd have to be bigger than the Disney version but how big! What kind of differences? #I also absolutely need to doodle Ursula again sometime tho and not just to get the details right lol #Sit down with a proper study - her incredible cheekbones ah <3 She's stunning #Oh yeah fair warning - make sure to check the tags and such on the fic so you know what you're getting into #Always a good rule of thumb haha

what are ur thoughts on the winners room trope?

ooooo okay surface level analysis: i like winner’s room fics :)

etwas tieferes: i think it’s cool that it’s (afaik) unique to hockey fandom and i enjoy the way it integrates a lot of unspoken rules in hockey with desire/makes them a physical/tangible reality… also the narrative potentials/world-building it opens up can be fun because there’s not really a set of rules for the “winner’s room” trope. are there in-universe rules? who gets chosen? who’s exempt? who gets to pick? where’s it going down? is it the entire room or one guy? what if your (ex)boyfriend is on another team? does somebody need to be taught a lesson or do you need to remind someone who got traded you still love them? also, most important, winner’s room gives you the chance to put two random-ass guys you saw interact for 0.002 seconds and went “hmmm. interesting” about into a Situation and i love that

#yeah buddy!! i love answering questions!!! unironically i have so many opinions!!!! #refraining from putting this in the main text but had to go: yeah who doesn’t love a good g*ngb*ng #it also doesn’t just have to be a bunch of dudes fucking though per always: i think winner’s room fics can bring up interesting dialogues #about the idea of bodily autonomy and self-sacrifice or sacrifice in sports #every fic can utilize a trope their own way so you might have lighter versions or heavier versions and #tw: sa #dub-con/CNC elements which. given the truth of SA and abuse in hockey it’s valuable to have tools to explore and i feel like i need to #address that when i talk about this? obvi dead dove do not eat for some fics re:winner’s room but i think a lot of them do talk about #control and power to some extent if you were to do a deep literary analysis. which we don’t need to. sometimes it’s enough to read a fic one #time because you liked the main pairing and didn’t know SHIT about the flyers and then come back to it years later and absolutely lose your #goddamn mind about the fact that actually you DID know about travis konecny before you thought you did and at one point there were all these #guys that you now know and love who were just like. random fuckers in the sides of the fic. i tend to do that a lot bc i will read for #nearly everything (if i love u. i will read your works even if i don’t know anything about the fandom and also i am always willing to jump #on new ships) so also tangentially i think winner’s room fics are a lot of fun because you can see a lot of different interactions between a #lot of guys like not only is it this guy and this guy but also this guy and that guy and these two interacting around the sacrifice etc etc #tangled web many layers und so weiter. not sure if any of that makes sense but also i’m gonna tag for mentions of sa/wjc/hockey canada stuff #i don’t even really know if winner’s room functions as well even in other sports bc of the Team Identity in hockey & cultural context #liv in the replies #winner’s room can be layered with SO many other kinks and tropes and aus and also just like. i like it & that’s probably all i needed to say #also obvi re: rules for trope there aren’t ever any there’s just some popular variations and we can kinda see some of those forming #but i’m not even sure if winner’s room has its own tag on the archive? i’d have to check i know i have a few saved in my bookmarks at least #OH also if you made it this far. wasn’t sure if this was like a ‘do u got recs’ or a ‘what’s your moral stance’ or ‘hey is this something ur #into’ so. good faith good vibes y’all and if this wasn’t what u meant please elaborate the question i do love answering things #ty for the ask!!!! #for the record i do watch hockey like the leonardo dicaprio pointing meme finding milliseconds of interaction to go HAHA GAY NARRATIVE about

hey *takes what was supposed to be just a visualization in case i ever wanted to draw overhallidays place in the future and then spends 4 hours on it

#📗 my post #🧯 overhalliday (s/i) #yeah ummm yeahn . hey . theres a lot in here let me divulge in the tags #hes supposed to live in like a town thats pretty Scrunched In with buildings kind of surrounding the place so the debug building behind #is supposed to mimic the back alley area that he uses for all his scraps && parts. really id imagine at some point he put a tarp over it #so metal doesnt rust && whatnot . but theres not really a way to do that i think in the sims #the bathroom being right where the stairs are is both a) bc i wrote that in a fic b) sometimes houses are dumb okay we cant all win #there isnt an operating table apparently?? so im using a lounge chair as a stand in and honestly it works well #really if i wanted to i wouldve added like soo much more clutter because he is. not the most organized #ftr i think like every sims bed has a headboard and he DOES NOT have that hes got a bed frame and a mattress that is IT!!! #^ not every sims one . the ones that dont talks abt...bed bugs. which . ew #and for the record also i think his place is only unique in the sense that you walk in and theres a workshop . exterior wise theres #probably like a bunchhh that look the same as youre walking down . all scrunched together #i actually donthave a set place in mind that he lives i just know its like. a Town #a town that doesnt have a hardware store . so he takes a train if he ever needs supplies & it takes abt 10 minutes to get to the city #so hes not like. Cut Off per se but the locals definitely know his deal enough #idk looking at it and imagining a bunch side by side makes me think of likee. like. norway? <- my biases it was like the 2nd thing i google #it would be nice to live by a bunch of water #but also im . i dont know anything abt architecture this very easily could read as somewhere in america or something like that #idk but in my head it snows a lot there thats like all i have thought out

[clumsyclifford]

what is your favourite trope to write? or like.. theme yknow like angst fluff etc hahah

let's ask the statistics!

this is a pretty good representation of a lot of my favorite things to write for sure. huge fan of everything listed here.

HOWEVER

i do enjoy writing some good angst. my writing tastes have changed a bit over the past couple years, and i think now i'm a lot more focused on things that i believe are realistic, rather than idealistic, so in general but particularly with angst it's a lot more grounded and in some cases grittier than the kind of angst i was writing before, which was a lot of Big Poetry and Drama? at least to me?? i don't know. and as an unrelated addition, ive found lately that i really enjoy writing characters interacting with kids. i just think it's really funny.

and of course how can i exclude the most important of my favorite tropes: kitchens are for lovers. if there's a kitchen, i'm there.

#ask #anonymous #intriguing question #it makes me happy that my additional tags accurately represent most of my favorite kinds of things to write #that satisfies my correlation brain #i was going to be like can you believe i have 94 fluff fics #that's an insane number #but i went to look at my ao3 and like #i have 228 fics total. so that is. also an insane fucking number. #it also means i have...one sec #ahem i have 134 fics that aren't fluffy enough to tag as fluff which is FASCINATING maybe ill do a search to exclude fluff #and see what comes up as the most used tags then #im gonna do it yeah one sec again #...the math here aint adding up #it left me with 97 fics? hmm. anyway apparently 18 of them are tagged angst #12 tagged 'happy ending' and 12 tagged 'hopeful ending' LMAO on brand #one more test bc im curious #okay i excluded the angst tag and it took out a bunch and left me with 177 #this is a fascinating exercise we should all be fucking around and finding out with our own ao3 works pages more often guys

i hope this doesn’t need to be said but just in case

you might have seen people talking about sudowrite and/or their tool storyengine recently

and just like… don’t. don’t do it. don’t try it out just to see what it’s about.

for two main reasons:

1) never feed anything proprietary into a large language model (LLM, eg ChatGPT, google bard, etc.).

this means don’t give it private company information when you’re at work, but also don’t give it your original writing. that’s your work.

because of the way these language models work, anything you feed into it is part of it now. and yeah, the FAQ says they “don’t claim ownership” over anything and yeah, they give you that reassuring bullshit about how unlikely it is that the exact same sentence will be reconstructed—

but that’s not the point.

do you have an unusual way of constructing sentences? a metaphor you like to use? a writing tic that sets you apart from the rest? anything that gives you a unique writing voice?

feed your writing into an LLM, and the model has your voice now. the model can generate text that sounds like it was written by you and someone else can claim it’s theirs because they gave the model a prompt.

don’t feed the model.

2) the other reason is that sudowrite scraped a bunch of omegaverse fic without consent to build their model and that’s a really shitty thing to do, because it means people weren’t given the chance to choose whether or not to feed the model.

don’t feed the model.
