Sicktember Requests Open!

Alright, guys, Sicktember is coming up and while I like this year's list, the prompts are pretty generic, and I look at them and think "Okay, but that would work with ALL of my blorbos?!" So I want to open up requests. However, there are some rules: The first rule is and I am not backing down of this, I will ONLY write for fandoms and characters that I care about and therefore here'll be a list: Dark Souls -> Ornstein, Artorias, Ciaran, the royal siblings are fine too. My OC Tempest, modern AU though as in canon he is undead. Bloodborne -> Laurence, Ludwig, Micolash, Gehrman (preferable Byrgenwerth time). Hollow Knight -> Pendry (the Pale King) and Hollow (the Pure Vessel), specifically my Off Balance redemption AU. Elden Ring -> Varre, Mohg. Morgott with my Tarnished OC Blaze as the caretaker. Made in Abyss -> Laurence (MiA version), basically my delver OC. Final Fantasy XIV -> My Warrior of Light Rispale Yavrukedi. Scions as caretakers are fine, but G'raha Tia or the twins strongly preferred. My OCs -> Lum, the singer and Kuro, the erotic actor. (Yes, panda, if you'll request, I'll allow your OCs.) The second rule is to please provide a little scenario centered around the prompt, so I have something to work with. And the third rule is... I am allowed to not fulfill a request if I don't vibe with it or don't find time. That was it. Easy, huh?! Now to the prompts under the cut:

1) “It’s the middle of the night, why are you up?”

2) Forced to go to school/work while sick

Gaaaasp! It's an update for Taste Testing! Over a year after I wrote the last chapter. I finally felt inspired enough to get back to this fic and complete the request for Bubble Tea I got. I hope you enjoy the chapter. This fic is open for requests, and I hope next time I don't need over a year to fulfill it =D So if you have a certain dish that you would want Tempest to cook, send me an ask here or put it into the comments.

10 Lies Your Character Believes About Themselves (And They’d Die Before Admitting It)

These aren't the fun, Disney Channel lies like “I'm just a regular girl” while literally being a secret pop star. These are the ugly ones. The ones that get in your character’s blood and start rewriting their whole life without them noticing.

» “If people really knew me, they'd leave.” Not "might." Would. No question. So they smile bigger. They edit harder. They keep conversations surface-level. All while carrying this bone-deep certainty that love is conditional... and they are dangerously close to failing the test.

» “I have to earn every good thing.” Rest? Happiness? A day without guilt? They treat those things like prizes at the end of a brutal obstacle course. No one told them they could just have good things. No strings. No blood price. (So they keep bleeding anyway.)

» “I'm too much.” Too loud. Too intense. Too sensitive. Too complicated. They know it. They've been told. So now they pull themselves in, hold their breath, bite back everything real until they barely take up space at all. (And ironically, they still think they’re being "too much.")

» “I'm not enough.” Neat little trick, right? They’re both "too much" and "not enough" at the same time. Magic. They're convinced everyone else got the secret manual for how to be lovable and they somehow missed it.

» “If I'm strong enough, nothing can hurt me.” They call it resilience. Other people call it stubbornness. Reality calls it self-destruction. They've mistaken numbness for healing and independence for invulnerability. But hurt still gets in. It just hits harder when it’s been bottled up for years.

» “I’m responsible for everyone's happiness.” Caretaker. Peacemaker. Therapist friend. Emotional sponge. They’ve appointed themselves as everyone's safety net, believing that if they don’t hold everything together, everything will fall apart. (Newsflash: it's not their circus, and it never was.)

» “I don't need anyone.” Need is a dirty word. It’s weak. It’s dangerous. So they white-knuckle their way through life, collecting scars and pretending it’s freedom. But late at night? In the dark? They’d sell their soul for someone to just... stay.

» “I'm the villain in someone else's story and they might be right.” They know they've hurt people. Made bad calls. Left damage. And no matter how much good they do now, some part of them whispers, You don’t get to come back from that.

» “My best days are behind me.” Whether they peaked in high school, lost their shot at something important, or just carry a chronic ache of nostalgia, they believe it’s too late. That nothing good can be built from where they are now. (Which, ironically, makes them waste even more time.)

» “This is as good as it gets.” They settle. For bad love. Boring jobs. Half-dead dreams. They tell themselves it's "realistic." "Mature." "Practical." But underneath? It's fear. It's heartbreak. It's the quiet belief that hope is something they can’t afford anymore.

I have been thinking about my writing and what to do with my chaptered fics. So, I don't want to abandon them, that much is for sure. My main problem was, that I got really burned out by Soulsborne, especially Elden Ring, and simply needed time away from it, so falling back to FFXIV, my shiny new thing, was just perfect to cleanse my brain. And I slowly feel ready to come back. So, my dark fic, which I don't post here, but you probably know about, I have figured out how to use the DLC lore to my advantage and I will eventually continue it once my inspiration came fully back. Then "Hunters of the Abyss". My main problem with this one is that I would like to wait a little bit for canon events in Made in Abyss. Unfortunately it is the SLOWEST updating manga in the world, and while I am in favour of this, it makes it hard to write on it as I could have blatantly non canon things in my fic. Though, as it is a crossover with Bloodborne anyway, I think I should just jump into the cold water and write my planned scenes at least. "Taste Testing" is just a fic that I drop chapters in when I feel like it. I actually started to write a chapter, so you might have one soon. And then "Lightning Past". I honestly was thinking to concentrate on this and write mostly chapters for it before I go back to my other fics. Having one of them done will make it feel so much more freeing. And I didn't plan for this to have more than ten chapters anyway, if even, the Smoughstein story is not a big epic, just a short novel. And then I also want to write a couple one-shots in-between, kink and non-kink, some sickfics etc etc. I hope whatever I write, that you will support me.

I wrote another FF14 fic about voice insecurity. Please enjoy.

Drawing the Pokédex 110a - Galarian Koffing What a dapper gentlemen. This is the last art for a while, I need to get some real life stuff done.

[littledrawsandwritesstuff]

Alright, so I have thought about it and there are some things I need to sort out in real life. And because of that, I have to go on a semi hiatus. I have a drawing started that I plan to finish. And I still want to get some writing time in, but it will be less than usual, so my writing will slow down noticeable (as if it wasn't super slow anyway). So I am going on a definite art hiatus after my next drawing, and writing will be done slowly. I don't know how long this will be. One month? Two month? It depends on how everything goes. It could very well be that we need to move into a different apartment, then I will put everything on definite hiatus while I get this sorted out. But for now, I am there, I am happy to talk to you, but my creative time has to take a backseat for now.

It took me a long time, but finally the story about how Rispale lost his mother is complete. This story is very personal and I certainly did put my own trauma in it, so proceed with care. Also, tumblr completely fails to embed AO3-Links lately, sorry.

Drawing the Pokédex 277 - Swellow I unironically love all the "Route 1" birds, especially their evolved forms.

[littledrawsandwritesstuff]

@hollowwaterfairy

While you are correct, of course, I still cannot help but feeling guilty for having published multichapter fics when I knew that I was at the end of my limit and going through the most hardest part of my life. I should have gone in hiatus right away so that they don't have the "trauma residue" all over them.

So, I have to talk about my dormant multichapters. That is the first time it is happening to me. That I have multichapters that I barely feel motivated to write on anymore. And it doesn't really have to do with me not caring anymore for these characters or stories. I very much WANT to write them. But... I think I made a mistake. I started two of them while my husband was in hospital. When my mental health was not good. When I had to take a loooong break from writing and drawing. And now I look at them and think "I have the feeling I should delete them, write a couple of chapters in advance and then publish bi-weekly or so." But do I want to do that? Do I really want to delete these fics for no reason? I mean, they can stay up and I can still write the remaining chapters in advance. But the thing is, I am not writing for them at them moment. And I don't know when I will. Every time I think I am getting back to them, I get an idea for a one-shot and want to write this down instead. And that of course takes away from writing or preparing chapters for my multichapters. I wanna write on them, but I think... they are more on hiatus for the moment. At least until my head feels like it can wrap itself around them again. Also, there are two other things: They are all Soulsborne. And the problem is, I am a bit burned out from this fandom. And at fault is the Elden Ring DLC and me thinking that it was ass, both from a storytelling point and a gameplay point. I eventually want to give it another chance (with a broken build because Elden Ring is designed around overpowered builds), but for now, it left me "Meeeeeh" for anything Soulsborne, ESPECIALLY Elden Ring, and the Elden Ring fic was smashed to pieces by DLC lore, so that I lost motivation for it for now. The other one is about one of my OTPs, but I am simply not thinking that much about them lately. I need to get into the right mindset again to write down their story believable. And then we have one that is a crossover with Made in Abyss, an ongoing manga that has the slowest update speed in the world. Part of me always feels hesitant to write on it BECAUSE a chapter could drop out of nowhere and give me new lore I can use in the fic. That is why this fic has been on my account for... five years now, I think. Oh, there is also Taste Testing, but that is just a thing I want to write on whenever I feel it and it is not supposed to have a plot or clear ending. Anyway, please know that I write, but I need to write what my brain wants to write. And at the moment it is not my multichapters. And if it feels like this account is quiet, then you can bet that I instead have updated fics on my kink account which are not suited for here.
