For a character to have trauma, they'd have to go through a bad experience, right? What if the character's "trauma" is just their entire life? Like, what if they've never stopped going through shit?

Y'all I got antiseptic in my eyes and now my vision is blurry 😭

#We cook 🗣️🔥🔥 #My typing is like muscle memory at this point #If any typos occure mbmb #My roommate asked me to help spray antiseptic on a wound and it like ricochet into my eye

I'm 4-5 chapters from being done with the story I've been working on for ten years.

A mere 12k-15k words.

In sprints I usually write between 450-700 words in 15 minutes.

I am ~5 hours of work away from being done with Draft One of Tylvinian Tales.

Y'ALL I AM SO HYPED TO GET DONE AND START EDITING

Sometimes a family can be a crazy smart illiterate heir, a bi boy with an adrenaline problem, a fabulous witch, the boy she trained who loves her very much, a sweetheart with enough sharp things on her she can legally be classified as a porcupine, and a traumatized and terrifying boy who needs to go to sleep

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

I'll share a little story (basically the prelude of the story) from Skyfall

When the sky falls, What happens to those below? If heaven calls, Who would even know?

"The world was good. Normal. The Cities of the Skies prospered and those down below carved a life for themselves out of rock and sand. Perhaps it was bound to go wrong. Perhaps it was fate, if you believe in that sort of thing. Personally, I think fate is dumb. Everything happens for reason, whether I like it or not. Fate defies reason. Maybe there was nothing we could've done to stop it, but that doesn't mean i can just accept that some outside deity ordained the—for lack of a better term—apocalypse.

What am I talking about, you may ask? Well, dearest reader, I am of course talking about Skyfall. That one fateful day when the sky itself shattered and rained down upon our quaint little planet, wiping out 99% of the population. No one was safe, not even the esteemed Cities of the Skies, who boasted absolute safety in all circumstances. They never accounted that the very space they inhabited would be their demise; who would? The cities came crashing down with the rest of the sky. Now only the ruins of once beautiful oasis' dot the dusty desert landscape.

The ones below weren't safe either. The sky reached all of us the same. The cities falling killed tens of thousands. The sky falling killed hundreds of millions. The shards emitted some sort of energy, killing anyone within reach. Surprisingly, the shards didn't remain. After a few days, known only as 'the days after', the shards crumbled into a fine, iridescent dust that spread across the desert like glitter. It was really quite pretty, I must say, if you ignored the corpses of those you once called friends. Only those who hid underground managed to survive, though there weren't many of us. Most lived in the cities, after all.

But that was 13 years ago, when I was young. Life moves on, of course. The remaining few built strongholds out of sandstone and rock, no longer shooting for the skies. People flocked to these strongholds, even if the rulers were cruel or sadistic. They craved something normal. Something that allowed them ignore the events that had happened. I never joined a stronghold personally, but only because there's something better out there.

I live as a wanderer, which is just an incredibly basic name for someone who collects and sells the sky dust, now called Caelum, to the highest bidder. The dust is incredibly valuable, as it can be used in all sorts of applications. It can be used in medicine or as an energy source, among other things. The downside is that it's incredibly dangerous to harvest. Unless you have a natural tolerance against the material, raw Caelum can cause permanent internal burns if inhaled. There's a process to making it safe for the average person, but I suppose you don't care about that.

You, who are living in a distant future and reading this note, are very lucky. If you're reading this, it means the world hasn't ended yet! It would also hopefully mean I fixed the sky, but it could also just mean that I died early enough that nothing changed. We'll see, I guess." ~ St. Caspian's note to the people, 13 PSF

Sharing an excerpt from my WIP, Redheart.

Juliette had admired and resented the Queen of Itrea in equal measure. How calmly she faced every injustice against her. How, like a mountain, she only seemed more regal for how rivers of hatred and winds of apathy carved and shaped her. Juliette could never be like that, and didn't know how to feel about the fact. She'd always been a defiant sort, herself. She could not stand still in the face of danger—would not withstand it if she tried. She preferred to tumble in the chaos. Become chaos. She came out of it more battered, surely, but at least she felt alive. As for the Queen of Itrea…Juliette wasn't sure she was ever alive before she died. And wouldn't you know it? Even mountains crumbled eventually.

im not gonna lie if i had the power of regression like yoo jonghyuk did i too would kill myself at the slightest sign of things not going my way. id kill myself over anything id die over a juice box tbh. i couldnt get the sword i wanted? jumping into a monsters mouth. i couldnt get my favourite pair of boots? swallowing a volatile motion activated bomb and then doing a cartwheel. i dont give a fuck. i would also use it to mentally torment anyone who annoyed me. you made a joke about my sick black coat? cool! now im fucking dead on the floor and im going to kill you in my next regression before you even open your mouth. how do you feel about THAT. i will defend yoo jonghyuk taking 1863+ rounds to reach the epilogue because it wouldve taken me wayyyyy longer.

When I read a fanfic I like, the author becomes a mini celebrity to me. So when an author with a work I like kudos’ or comments on my own fanfic I just-

If I ever became a famous author, I would write silly fanfiction about my characters and not reveal that it’s me. See if people realize or not lol
