When you are writing a fic, do you ever struggle with over-thinking, where you can't move on to the next stage of your outline or the actual story, because your brain insists on adding detail to the current stage?

I'm really struggling with this at the moment, and it's becoming exhausting. I'm trying to write a simple, light, single-theme story, but my brain insists on over-complicating it, to the point where I get so bogged down in details, I can't actually write the damn thing, and end up abandoning it in a fit of disgust and rage.

If you or any of your followers have experienced this, and have any advice on how to tackle it, I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you for listening.

Also, Aris and her babies are adorable :)

The short answer is: Sometimes

The longer answer is: Not really, but I used to, and I didn't want to, so I put in a lot of work to teach myself how to get out of it.

By and large, I have gotten to the point where when I am outlining, if I come across a portion of the story where I don't know what exactly happens, I will just write in "some stuff happens" and leave space for stuff to happen. I have learned that chances are really good the reason I don't know what exactly happens is because I don't have the nearby puzzle pieces yet, and if I pick at other areas of the story, I will eventually find the pieces that tell me the shape of the missing piece, which is much easier than trying to guess. And if I don't find it during outlining, then I will typically find it while writing the full story out. I don't need to flesh it out immediately.

But how does one get from point A (being stuck) to point B (writing stuff happens and moving on)?

Genuinely, and I mean this in the kindest way possible, there is no tip or trick or miracle anyone can tell you, you just have to do the work. Writing is a skill, and ALL skills require practice, practice, practice to learn the "muscle" memory to perform the skill. You cannot improve without practice. You will not write the perfect story on your first try.

I practiced the skill of "write small thing without going into detail" by literally writing 150k+ words of askbox prompts with a goal of 300 words or less. No longer plot, no elaboration. People sent me 3 words of their choosing and a character or pairing, over and over and over and over, and I answered them with short, 1-scene ficlets over and over and over and over. And a few of them I wrote a bit of extra on, if i really liked what I was writing, but I went in with the mentality that this was practice, for practice's sake.

If you don't want to do it as askbox prompts, that's fine. Grab a few prompt word lists, pick 3 words at random and a pairing or character(s) you either really like or don't write for much, and figure out how to connect the three things to the characters in under 300 words. then put it into a folder you will never look at again, and move to the next one. Do this 100 times. Do it 200 times if you're still having trouble.

This may seem like busywork, but I promise it's not. The word limit helps to teach you to leave out stuff you don't need at the moment ("stuff happens, but here's what's important to have happen"), the 3-word-prompt style helps you learn to connect disparate ideas (a HUGE help if you're trying to get from a to b and don't know how they connect- your story-problem solving skills WILL improve) AS WELL as helping you learn to write (full story) from very little (minimal outline). Starting a portion of a scene and wrapping it up again over and over in short form for unrelated ficlets helps with learning how to start things and finish things (so starting a new scene or finding the ending of a scene becomes easier in full stories). There's a good chance it helps you practice story arcs, bringing back foreshadowing, circling ideas (presenting something at the start, going through the scene, and ending the scene looking at the beginning Something in a new light!), and more. You practice a lot of stuff when you do little throw-away scenes, and going in with the intent to throw them away can take a lot of the pressure off. Does it need to be fleshed out if I am throwing it in the recycling bin/flinging it unedited into the void of Tumblr the second I'm done, to never think of it again? nope~!

I'm sure there are other exercises out there. I'm sure everyone's got their favored way of practicing stuff, or avoiding practicing as the case may be. But there's not another way to learn the things you're asking about than just....doing them. You literally just have to do them a lot, and the best way I know of is to work through a list of semi-abstract prompts (and I mean like.... the prompt is "blood" or the prompt is "light" or the prompt is "green" or "christmas" or "butterflies" or "magic" and you have to write a scene) and not worry about the results so much as the doing.

Artists fill whole sketchbooks with doodles and sketches they'll never polish. Racing athletes swim or run miles and miles and miles in practice before their competitions. Team sport athletes dedicate hundreds, thousands of hours to practice before games. Photographers take hundreds of photos and only keep a few to showcase. They make messy garbage, in order to be able to make something good.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. You HAVE to learn to be messy, and to allow yourself to be messy, for the sake of learning and being done.

May tumblr endure the pain of all the angst fics on it's sight for eating your askbox.

Well then, I'm really glad you liked the Selkie!Ghost prompt I sent in :D, I loved what you did with it ^^ -X/3NH

(If you want the old prompt just tell me)

Okay new prompt: Ghost is a monster that lives under the bed and in the closets of children. Soap has been the singular person he's haunted, not by choice, just because Soap won't have a single nightmare related to him. In fact, Soap sees him as a friend.

Ghost's kind feeds off nightmares related to them, so he's latched to Soap until he can get a singular nightmare out of him. But Soap is now in 141 and he still hasn't had that nightmare relating to him.

So Ghost now protects Soap because he's grown attached.

(Do what you want w this concept, but I was thinkin Ghost takes a shot for Johnny, but gets that nightmare he wants so bad, it's about him dying in Soap's arms. Ghost's now free, free to choose another contract, but he doesn't want to get anymore nightmares, he wants to be with Soap. (also his family isn't too nice cause "he's the reason SOap doesn't experience nightmares, he's doing it wrong" (No soap is just a massive fan of monsters and doesn't feel scared around them)))

Wow thats a lot, well enjoy ^^

Hello friend! I want to say, I absolutely adore your asks and I'm sorry for always taking so long to answer them! They usually need to be a tad longer than my normal stuff and I want to do them justice! Also, did some very mild experimentation with some formatting/punctuation. Nothing super noticeable but if you notice something looks weird, its on purpose!

Also, Ghost is also a child for the first portion of this. He matures a bit faster but their age gap is only really a year (felt weird writing about an adult monster under some kid's bed)

Ghost had never, ever heard of a kid like Soap. The kid was... well. If changelings were real, Ghost would put money on him being one.

Soap regularly grabbed spiders and played with him. Not the cruel playing of little tyrants that ripped their legs off, but a genuine, loving little thing. He'd pet them and let them crawl over his hands and set them outside when they started to get agitated.

Snakes fascinated him. The first time he managed to see one at school, he came home, sat on the floor and told Ghost all about it. How the scales moved and reminded him of Ghost's arms. Then he asked Ghost if he was a snake which made him lash out and try to yank the kid under the bed.

However, since Soap feared him no more than he feared snakes or spiders or soft kittens, he just went straight through him. It looked more like he tried to pat him than anything else.

Ghost couldn't believe it. Other monsters his age were back home! Bragging! And here he was, taking way too much time.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Soap sighed. "You're always so grumpy. Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?"

"...I guess." Ghost pouted.

Soap smiled at him, radiant. Ghost wondered if he was made out of the sun.

The tea was delicious. He even got biscuits on the side.

"Why do you want me to be scared of you anyway?"

Ghost refused to talk to him about it, worried it would ruin his chances of ever going home. Soap smiled at him.

"Is it like a grade? If you scare me, you get a better grade?"

"Something like that." Ghost agreed. "I need to scare you."

"I will do my best to be scared by you!" Soap smiled at him and finished eating.

On Soap's thirteenth birthday party, far far after when Ghost should be long gone, he asked for some odd things. Horror posters and books about mythology. Ghost knew he was trying to get more information on him, probably to banish him.

Soap never did anything though. He continued to be his friend with so much ease. He also never told anyone else. At some point, Soap realized this was abnormal and instead of panicking like Ghost had hoped or maybe telling someone, he just moved on.

"We're friends. I couldn't endanger you like that." Soap had answered honestly when Ghost asked.

"We are NOT friends."

Soap smiled easily. "I'll get you to admit it one day. I promise." He gently nudged Ghost's shoulder. Ghost hadn't been touched in a while and the fact that Soap could touch him but he couldn't quite touch Soap was... weird. A little scary.

Soap smiled at him gently.

Ghost hated the day that... man put the idea of the military in Soap's head. He inspired Soap apparently. Sent him on this spiral to try to get into the military.

"Fucking hell, Johnny. The military?" Ghost sat on his bed and stretched out. His shadows had shifted from... well shadows into dark clothing. Recently, he had gotten used to adjusting them to look like a leather jacket, leather pants and dark gloves. If this so happened to be exactly like Soap's most recent movie crush, then it was purely coincidental. And if maybe, just maybe, Ghost enjoyed the lingering gazes from Soap, that was also coincidental.

He cropped up in Soap's dreams sometimes, but it was never frightening. The only reason he even knew was because Soap sometimes muttered his name in his sleep.

"It would be great! Going out there, helping people, good innocent people. Going on missions and adventures."

"Your brains being splattered against the ground. Dying. Fucking up and hurting people that don't deserve it." Ghost grinned, ignoring Soap's scrunched up face.

"Stop being such a bawbag. This isn't going to scare me so you're just doing it to be a dick." Soap hit Ghost with a pillow.

Ghost laughed and laid flat on his bed. He went quite when Mrs. MacTavish passed by, asking if either of them needed snacks. "She can't hear me, can she?"

"Course she can. Why couldn't she?" Soap tilted his head.

Ghost frowned. At this rate, he might as well just become human. He already fucking was. "How long?"

"About two years now. She thinks you're super shy." Soap explained, not understanding how terrible this was for Ghost.

Ghost dissolved, slinking under the bed.

"Wait, Ghost!" Soap looked under the bed. "Come on. Are you sad about your family again?"

"LEAVE ME ALONE."

Soap flinched and sighed. "I'll make you tea, okay?" He left Ghost alone for a bit while he did.

Ghost did miss his family. He couldn't go back until he fucking got a stupid nightmare and he was hungry because Soap's dreams were so fucking devoid of any fear. Stupid asshole.

The tea made things a little better.

When Soap finally got everything together to join the military, he was 15. Too young to actually join, but that wasn't going to stop the asshole. He planned to join and Ghost had to go with him.

The problem? While Ghost was roughly 16, he didn't have any papers saying he existed and he couldn't just wait for Soap to come home on his leaves. So he just made some stuff. Fake documents and different things. he was also very, very fleshy. Soap and him had touched hands and his skin felt the same way.

It disgusted him. He really, really hoped that while they were in the military, Soap would learn fear.

But that didn't happen.

Because Ghost was accepted and Soap wasn't.

"You're clearly too young. Try again next year."

Ghost felt his heart drop.

Shit.

This did not occur to him as a possibility.

Soap immediately started in on the man while Ghost sat there, stunned. He tried to smoke away. Dissolve and reappear miles away and back home.

His body refused. Panic flooded him.

No.

Fuck.

Ghost spent... three years? Time was weird. But he bumbled around the military. For the first time... ever, he ate what he was supposed to. Nightmares. None of them were good enough. They weren't Soap. It was better than the nothing he had been experiencing the past 19 years. That's when they reunited again.

Soap flinched when he saw him before hearing him speak and immediately brightening. "Hello... Simon."

"Hello, Johnny."

So Ghost watched out for him. He had to keep him alive and safe. Both because of his job and also because Soap needed to dream of him to set him free.

Soap still dreamed about him. Ghost could hear him speaking his name in the dark of night. Saying it with a tone that Ghost heard other people use in these scenarios. It was different than the playful manner of when they were younger. For some reason, it made Ghost's chest flutter.

Somehow, Ghost became a Lieutenant and Soap became one of his Sergeants. They worked together well and no one ever suspected it was because they were old friends.

Ghost had long since felt human. Any connection he had to being a monster gone. Even if he fed off the fear of his comrades, they weren't exactly Soap. He still had to eat human food and had human problems like cold hands.

Still felt pain.

The bullet went straight through his chest and the blood from his wound splattered all over Soap's face.

Soap's blue eyes widened. He was finally afraid.

It tasted rather bitter.

Ghost collapsed into him and Soap cradled his body. His blood covered them both.

"MEDIC!"

Soap screamed his little head off. So loud and insistent.

Ghost wanted to dissolve. Wanted to sink back into the darkness and hide under Soap's bed again.

"never wanted to join the military."

"Why did you then?"

"wanted to stay close to you." Ghost admitted, panting. His mask felt tight around his face. "it wasn't just a job for me. hadn't been for a while."

"The military?"

"No. Johnny." Ghost leaned up and kissed him through the fabric.

He finally dissolved.

His consciousness floated somewhere. It felt like home. He could still smell the soap Mrs. MacTavish used on the sheets.

Soap dreamed of him. Ghost was rather violently dragged into it, spectating whatever Soap finally put together.

The fear and adrenaline was intoxicating. Finally rid him of the awful feeling of being hungry that had plagued him for so long.

Soap held his body. It looked much worse than it was. The entire world seemed tinged with Ghost's blood.

"Please. Please. Stay with me." Soap begged, rocking his body.

Ah.

Johnny wasn't afraid of Ghost. He was afraid for Ghost.

How endearing.

The bond between them, the hold, snapped. Ghost felt himself start to spiral away from Soap, his body wanting to spin back into smoke.

But he dug his heels in.

"No." Ghost mumbled. "Got this fucking far. Can't ditch now." He had spent the majority of his life with Soap and he was realizing now that he wanted to spent the rest of it with him too.

It continued to drag him and he struggled and thrashed until his eyes flickered open to see Soap staring at him.

"You're awake."

"Fucking hell, don't stare at me like that. And I'm supposed to be the monster here." Ghost sat up, fully healed.

Soap went to stop him before pausing. "Always forget you're not human. You okay?"

Ghost nodded.

"Do you remember what happened?"

He nodded again.

"All of it?" Soap batted those damn eyelashes at him.

"If you're asking for another kiss, you can just lean down."

This kiss didn't have fabric between them.

🌸 2025 Spring Update 🌸

Happy Spring everyone! I was trying to plan out my writing year a bit more yesterday and got to thinking I'd make an update, especially when I realized I might not be posting that many new things for a bit after posting the two stories I'm working on for @fanficocean's Coffee Shop Writing Challenge. It's a little because of life but a lot because I… I actually need to write the words. With that said, below the cut is a rough look at what I'm hoping to work on this spring and probably continue to work on into summer… maybe fall too.

For all the updates for the season, see below the beautiful divider made by @silkhollan.

Spring Prompts/Fic Requests - You may have noticed I closed my main askbox last year after the spooky season. It just got to be too little asks and way too much spam. It's been a few months, and I am considering opening it up again for prompt requests and games, 'cause I miss it. I might run a poll at some point about it, but I'm still just not sure. Feel free to let me know how you feel about it, or if you just generally have a request. We can chat, and I'll do my best ❤️

Spring Cleaning - The WIPs! Every spring I always partake in a Deep Clean and that also counts for all the WIPs that survived the Winter Purge. There are quite a few half finished one-shots this year, and I'm hoping to take some time to finish them all. Mainly: Searching For the Sun (Clex vampire Lex story), Pinocchio and the Trickster (a continuation of Choke Me Like it Matters), Like Poetry (a cold flash tale), and The Loft (a continuation of Its Always Something in Smallville). I have more, so many more, but these have caught the Muse's eye lately.

Lost in Translation, Part 2 - I have been working on this! It's been like pulling teeth, but I do have a more defined outline and actual scenes drafted. I also have decided how it's gonna be formatted. Which will just be a continuation of the original story that ended with Chapter 12, meaning that whenever I'm done writing it, it'll start at chapter 13. The next update will probably be when I update the chapter number. I really have no timeframe of when I'll be done with it, but it is on my mind. I really want to thank everyone again for comments and kudos, they have really driven me back to this story.

Monster Eater Verse - I know it's so early to be talking about my sweet bloody babies but working on the next two arcs are taking a lot of my mind space right now so it merits a mention. This year's I feel like I've mentioned The Boy King's Destiny a lot, but it's nearly done as far as writing. The last chapter just needs work and looks like it's gonna be happening on schedule for October 1st. It's super plot driven and a major story arc in the series that has been referred to on more than occasion within the series. I'm excited to share it!

But not completely the update I wanted to make about this verse, because the next part —oh the next part I am excited about. It has a lot of flushing, and I've been flushing ever since writing Songbird, to go, but the next major arc will be what happens directly after that. I feel like I've made it very clear throughout the series, especially with Taste of Cherry, that this universe is different. That the rules are different, that it's darker, that it's very clearly not canon divergent or adjacent, but this next arc makes it very clear just how different. Tentatively titled Sing For Me will be a multi chapter story that focuses completely on Loki telling Sam the story of Gabriel, the archangels, and the creation of their universe. It is so fun, and it has officially moved into my brain and started taking over from the back burner.

INFO

i will choose from what’s been sent to my askbox. so it’s possible for me to combine two similar requests or drop it (sorry!)

each prompt and setting can only be used once. i'll regularly update this post to cross out prompts and settings that are already taken!

anons are allowed, but since this is a followers event, i’ll prioritize the ones who choose to be off anons—i appreciate you for doing so!

Hello! I am new to tumblr and Band of brothers fandom. I really don't know tumblr or fandom well. I was reading The darkening sky. It is wonderful, i really liked Marj also ırene. So I found you in here and saw you answered some questions. If it is not make you uncomfortable and take too much of your time, how can i reach people and make friends on tumblr and in the fandom without being awkward and without make anybody uncomfortable?

Hi Lilly! It's very nice to e-meet you! Thank you so much for saying that about TDS - I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!

For someone who says that they're new to tumblr and fandom, I'd say you're off to a fabulous start, as you've already done a bunch of the things I would recommend you do as a fandom newbie.

Make sure your blog is set up so that it looks like a real person runs it, and not a bot. Follow some people that look like they're into the same things you are. Put some stuff in your profile so that people who find your blog know what you're about. (Done!)

Read things, and tell the people who made them that you liked them. Share honest appreciation for the things that make you happy. (Done!)

Find things here on tumblr that you like and reblog it to your blog with nice notes in your tags. If there's an author whose work you really like, reblog posts they make about that work so that more people see it! (Done!)

Reach out to the writers and artists you like here on tumblr and tell them that you liked their work! This could be sending them a direct message, or an ask, like you did with me, or responding to their requests for prompts or askbox memes. (Done!)

If you keep doing the first four things, I'd say you're well on your way. And if you want to, you can also move to step 5:

5. Join a Discord server, if you're interested in finding more people to talk to.

Regarding the awkwardness - it's the internet. I think everything we do here has a small amount of awkward in it. I have found fandom to be much…easier if I remember what it was like to be a kid with a new toy in kindergarten. It's much easier for us to make friends as children because we simply walk up to each other on the playground and admire the fact that both of us have the same character on our lunchboxes. That's what tumblr is like. It's a big playground and we are all admiring the toys we brought.

Now, you're going to start all of these interactions with good intentions. Remember that some people will say no, or just ignore you. This will be uncomfortable, but it doesn't make you a bad person - it just means that person is in a different place than you are. Accepting that 'no', whether spoken or unspoken, is an answer, will go a long way to stopping things from getting uncomfortable.

And remember - these things take time, and that's okay. You're not going to make friends immediately, or meet everyone in a weekend. It's a process. Just enjoy the time you spend being here. Good luck!

[sabers-and-other-ocs]

Respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

~

Roleplayer Name:

I don't usually use one, my name is common so I'm not concerned with people using it but my wife's name for me online is Raven when she streams but i usually just go by Sarah, mun or *muse name*-mun

Roleplayer pronouns:

They/them or she/her (like 60/40)

Muse Name(s):

On this blog I have (in order of added) Violet, Storm, Crow (the Saber family), Henry, Mika, Yeong, Hei Ran and soon to add Nova. I have way too many blogs and muses outside of this one

Preferred Communication:

With ooc communication it preferred in IMs or discord (shared only with those I'm writing with and upon request). I prefer to keep the askbox for IC stuff unless it is the asks on the hub blog.

Experience:

I've been roleplaying since I was 13 with friends, mostly OC's and started roleplaying on Tumblr in 2012. I've done mixes of Canon and OC characters as well as instances of what I am doing with Molly in Hazbin or most muses on one of my Owl House blogs and fleshing out characters more than what is currently present in canon. i just love writing and writing with other people adds to the fun

Preferred Roleplay Type:

As long as I have something to work with I don't have much of a preference type though I tend to do smaller para style like around 3 paragraphs or so

Pet Peeves & Dealbreakers:

-They are probably mostly standard such as godmodding or someone trying to tell me what to do or how they want me to write (those weird oddly specific requests that have a fetishy undetone come to mind, I got a lot of those in the owl house fandom on my Willow blog). -When people come to me wanting to start a thread and then not contributing at all to the plotting. It isn't a deal breaker but it is easier when people are at least upfront of "hey i want to write with your muse but i dont really have any ideas right now can we see what we come up with?" cause i get like that too rping is partnership, you don't have to have a huge plan but having some ideas in mind already is nice or at least telling me otherwise helps us get rolling -callouts and witch hunts, cant stand them, if you wanna warn me personally about someone that's fine, i'll look into them and decide for myself but i wish people would please tag their callouts/witch hunt kind of posts -im shipping trash but i dont like when shipping is expected off the bat even with canon ships, like talk to each other make sure you're both on the same page about it, i dont expect it and i don't want it expected of me, i like plotting or seeing how characters develop whether they're romantic, platonic, enemies, familial, etc

Best time to write:

I work retail with a choppy sleeping pattern and have a scattered schedule so mostly when I have the time and energy or when I wake up at random at 5 am or something

Are you like your muse?:

Some of them I do have aspects of myself incorporated or aspects I wish I had, the most I am probably most like is Storm

[productofaritual]

(INTRO BEGINS UNDER THE DIVIDER) Tumblr doesn't let u pin multiple posts, so here's some posts I would pin too if I could :D

About fanfics of my fanfics

Watch me go insane in real time(currently paused)

Crazy? I was crazy once

More about asks

More about me but in the form of a bad joke

Art (and not just art) resources

Nd hacks (pinning this also for myself)

Intro? Intro. I've decided to actually engage with OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. Sometimes. Occasionally. To talk about my silly little thoughts and silly little writing.

Agender, any pronouns/terms except it/its (neutral preferred), Aroace

I'm working on an original book called "Bound By Name". It has its own tag and if you want to know about it, be sure to check out #Bound By Name (intro post about it here) (I don't post much about it but I am in the process of writing!)

Author/fanfic writer

Bilingual (English/Czech)

My ao3

Askbox always open! Speak to me! Also if you have fic prompts or ideas you think I'd like/want me to write, throw them in there too!

DMs always open but say what you want right in the first message because I might not answer or panic block

Spam liking/reblogging/commenting is A-OK. I love to see people enjoying my silly little posts

Moot = can interact anytime all the time as much as they like I literally can't say how much I appreciate all of them

I mainly write SBI and beeduo (yes, in 2025) and talk about random stuff

All of my fics are strictly about the characters! All of them! Every single one!

Way more WIPs than completed works

Expect me talking about discontinued works, unfinished works, or those on hiatus, but I'll only be posting the finished ones on ao3! That's why they're taking so long

I only write for the DSMP fandom but some of my other interests include: Welcome to Nightvale, D&D, Detroit: Become Human, EPIC: The Musical, Project SEKAI(occasionally), Wuthering Waves, The Magnus Archives/Protocol

CRINGE IS FUCKING DEAD DO WHAT YOU WANT

DNI: Basic DNI, just don't be weirdchamp and we'll probably get along. I really don't think I mind anyone with basic human decency. If I dislike something you do I'll just block

Not siding with anyone on any cc drama ever. All I'll say is do your research and base your opinions on concrete proof and verified facts. I might have my own opinion, but I will not be voicing it.

Blinkies and tag sorting under cut!

Tag sorting (started 22.05.2024 so anything earlier isn't gonna have them. Also I just forget to add them sometimes)

#textpost.bzzt - generic post that I made. Includes asks because I don't get enough of them to justify making a separate tag

#rbees.bzzt - reblogs. Can you tell I'm proud of that pun?

#artbees.bzzt - specifically art reblogs. Can you tell I'm even more proud of that pun? (I tend to reblog art multiple times, only one will be tagged)

#fandom.bzzt - fandom related posts. Can be any fandom. Reblogs won't have it, mainly because I'm lazy

#mootsies.bzzt - anything related to my mutuals

#personal.bzzt - stuff that might be a bit more personal/talking about my personal life. No I'm not doxxing myself, just talking about my pets or experiences or whatever

#writing.bzzt - anything writing related

#onceinafullmoonramble.bzzt - my once in a full moon rambles. They're longer than my usual posts and can be about literally anything

#horizonverse.bzzt - anything related to the fanfic series "Event Horizon" by Hellenite on ao3. Will not be tagged with fandom or fic tags most of the time because I don't wanna spam them. I didn't have any part in the creation of it, it's just my special interest

#genshin dsmp fusion - a random au I post about that features the DSMP as a new genshin region and the members as playable characters! It's not a fic and I don't plan on writing it into one, I'm just rambling about my ideas for it. Also mind this when reading about it!

About the Blog/Pinned Post (Update)

Updated: 4/14/2024

Hello! I’m Mod Poss, the sole founder and admin of this blog. Here at the Professional Prompt Maker, I write a ton of prompts. But this blog is unique from other prompt blogs: my askbox is an uncensored and judgment free zone, because I will write prompts for taboo topics (ex: incest, age gaps, cannibalism, etc.)*.

*NOTE: Specifically NSFW prompts are only available to my patrons.

Support Needed! I am in a horrible situation right now and heavily struggling financially! If you can, please Donate via Ko-fi, Commission Me via Email (theprofessionalpromptmaker@gmail.com), or Join My Patreon! 

Posting Schedule (Central Time)

8AM to 9AM (Sat & Sun Only) - 3 Dialogue Prompts 2PM to 3PM - Requests (CLOSED) 5PM - Obscure Holidays Prompts (Holidays collected from this site[x]) 6PM to 8pm (Fri Only) - Mod Poss OC Talk & Personal Questions Answered Friday - Weekly Update

All Prompts

Extra Services I Do For Money:

Beta Reading for Fantasy (with a focus on helping with worldbuilding, specifically magic systems, cultural aspects, gender/sexuality, and basic biology/environments) - prices vary (currently available to select patrons only)

Prompt Request Commissions (will only be sent to commissioner, never posted) - $2 per prompt created ($1 per prompt for select patrons) Note: Comissions accepted via Ko-fi or Email (theprofessionalpromptmaker@gmail.com)

(More to come)

Recommended Sites & Tools (Not Mine)

For Worldbuilding:

This PDF (HARP Folkways for $15) -- an RPG guide that breaks down aspects of real world cultures to help you design your own cultures. Invaluable to me.

Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator (Free) -- a very in-depth and detailed mapmaker with all sorts of cool tidbits. Nothing has ever quite sparked my worldbuilding like designing a map that tells me the temperature, altitude, biomes, etc. of the countries/cities/worlds I’m designing. So much is customizable too, so don’t feel limited by what the map generates/suggests. All the details this map maker has really makes me reconsider clothing, holidays, architecture, etc. since so much about a society is shaped by it’s environment (works very well with the Folkways culture guide). [+ the creator has a Patreon]

MyNoise -- an ambience maker I am currently loving due to all the great high quality ambiences the creator makes and has up on their site.

[More to come]

I also have a Patreon and (coming soon!) a SubscribeStar for this blog - some goodies there include:

QUOTES FOUND ON PINTEREST

ASKBOX PROMPTS OF ASSORTED QUOTATIONS THAT I HAVE FOUND WHILE MAKING BOARDS FOR MY MUSES ON PINTEREST

CHANGE gendered words if necessary.

SPECIFY muse for multimuses.

“   Something in me wants more. I can’t rest.   ”

“   The sword of destiny has two edges. You are one of them.  ”

“   I don’t want worship. I want understanding.   ”

“   Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.   ”

“   The truth is, I pretend to be a cynic, but I am really a dreamer who is terrified of wanting something that she may never get.   ”

“   Your heartbeats set the rhythm for my heart.   ”

“   Because you feel like home to me. That’s why I love you.   ”

“   I feel my soul drawn to you.   ”

“   I have for the first time found what I can truly love. I have found you.   ”

“   I felt there was no point in telling anyone anything that was happening inside me.   ”

“   The world either breaks or hardens the heart.   ”

“   Am I supposed to be grateful to have survived this?   ”

“   You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.   ”

“   It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.   ”

“   I have never understood where the line is drawn, between sacrifice and self-slaughter.   ”

“   Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.    ”

“   The past beats inside me like a second heart.   ”

“   My soul and yours are the same. You appear in me, I in you. We hide in each other.   ”

“   You are always haunted by the idea that you have been wasting your life.   ”

“   I am not cruel — only truthful.  ”

“   No one wearing a crown comes in the name of peace.   ”

“   I am starved for tenderness and that is what is the matter with me and has been for months.   ”

“   You? What could one more splash of blood mean to you?    ”

“   Can you hate someone for what they have done, but still love them for whom they had been?   ”

“   I'm sorry you were not truly loved and that it made you cruel.   ”

“   I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you.   ”

“   I am not merciful, and I am not kind, and l am not afraid to make you wish that I was.   ”

“   It does me no good; violence has changed me.   ”

“   So heartless, yet so full of feelings.   ”

“   You blossom under kindness, don't you? Like a rose.   ”

“   All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.   ”

“   I look at you, and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you.   ”

“   Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.   ”

“   Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.   ”

“   "Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all.   ”

“   We all romanticize the people we adore.   ”

“   I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it.   ”

“   If you know too much, you’ll get old too soon.   ”

“   Cowardice is the most terrible of vices.   ”

“   I am tired of being brave.   ”

“   I have survived. I am here. Confused, screwed up, but here.   ”

“   There isn't always an explanation for everything.   ”

“   Everything will turn out right, the world is built on that.   ”

“   People do not see you. They invent you and accuse you.   ”

“   Never have I dealt with anything as difficult as my own soul.   ”

“   You are a woman marked for sorrow.   ”

“   Rise up, then. Mend your ways, start seeing what you are instead of calculating what you should become.   ”

“   Stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart. You cannot protect yourself from suffering. To live is to grieve. You are not protecting yourself by shutting yourself off from the world. You are limiting yourself.   ”

“   Very early in my life it was too late.   ”

“   I want to change. I want to stop fear’s subtle guidance of my life.   ”

“   You misinterpret everything, even the silence.   ”

“   Lately many years have passed.   ”

“   You’ll bear it. You’ll last out. You will.   ”

[Image ID: an angled/off-center photograph of a laptop screen open to a retro-styled word processor. The words on the document read "meow meow time to write about torture". End ID.]

Yes, it is true! I am once again writing fanfic after a very long hiatus <3 the urge to make my favorites miserable has returned, and with it I am reopening requests. But not just any requests, no—

I have a Bad Things Happen bingo sheet!

[Image ID: A black bingo board with white text and lines. The title reads "Bad Things Happen Bingo". The boxes read as follows from the top left moving across: suffocation, can only move the eyes, mouth stitched shut, defeated and trophied, secret revealed, kneecapping, self-loathing, terms of endangerment, rescue mission, damaged wings, thrown from a horse, disowned by family, trapped in a burning building, cabin fever, would that would not heal, friendship falling out, "I know you're in there somewhere" fight, mistreated by authorities, zip ties, hospital stay, framed, claustrophobia, spinal injury, punishment box, and tortured for information. End ID.]

I'm really excited to get cracking at these >:D! The only one not available to request is "thrown from a horse" because I already have a fic in mind for that one, but all the others are fair game!

In your request, please specify the fandom and which character you want to get hurt (mandatory), the aggressor character (optional), and any comfort ideas you have! (Keep in mind that if I get multiple requests for the same box, I can only write on fill. If your prompt doesn't get chosen, feel free to send in another!)

The fandoms I'm very comfortable writing for: Hermitcraft seasons 6-8 (some earlier season nine), Dream SMP, Empires season 1, the Life SMPs (all), Lego Monkie Kid, Fullmetal Alchemist, Homestuck, Pokemon animeverse, Pokemon gameverse (my favorites are HG/SS, SW/SH, Masters, and Legends: Archeus, but I'll happily write for all of them^^)

I'm less confident in other fandoms, but if I've ever talked about it on this blog then there's a good chance I'm down to write some pain (or even if I haven't—I've been in a *lot* of fandoms over the years). If you're unsure, just shoot me an ask and I'll let you know :] (for hermitcraft in particular, I haven't been really keeping up with it recently but am *absolutely* down if you tell me what relevant episodes to watch lol)

Now! The askbox is hungry, so feed it fic requests! >:D

ASKBOX MEME 061 / ANDOR S01E04-06

All prompts taken from season one of Andor (2022). Adjust as needed.

04. ALDHANI

"Do as I say."

"Well, it's been a day of surprises for all of us."

"You're bleeding on my floor."

"I haven't agreed to do anything but save my skin."

"Perhaps you got alternatives I'm not aware of."

"Seems to me you have two choices. Either I drop you somewhere and you start running, or you come with me and help with something important."

"Define 'important'."

"I'm offering you everything you want, all at once."

"What is 'everything I want'? Since you know so much about me."

"Isn't it all the same?"

"You don't know me."

"You lived because you ran."

"I imagine that no matter what you tell me or tell yourself, you'll ultimately die fighting these bastards."

"So what I'm asking is this: wouldn't you rather give it all at once to something real, than carve off useless pieces till there's nothing left?"

"I came for you."

"What's the offer?"

"What would we be stealing?"

"Are you being intentionally vague?"

"Do you understand my meaning, _____?"

"Think of a name. Think of a name for yourself."

"I thought you were in charge."

"Think it's best you stay inside until I've had time to work it all out."

"I want it back when this is over."

"Obviously something's wrong."

"Something I can help you with?"

"I can't believe you're doing this."

"Now? Like this?"

"You're vulnerable and you know it. I'm buying you critical redundancy."

"What do you mean 'buying'?"

"You're wasting energy. You know I'm right."

"What would I tell the others?"

"Are you giving me a choice here?"

"Look at me! You wanted to lead. This is what it comes to."

"I need to know you understand."

"But I've had nothing to do with this."

"It took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude, and total disengagement for this farce to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster."

"Proud, are we?"

"Well, it's a long walk. Through the night."

"Who is he?"

"You should have asked him that when you had the chance."

"He is something we will never discuss."

"Are you not joining us?"

"It might mean more if you went."

"I don't want to spark his interest."

"So, who are we supposed to be?"

"I have work to do."

"I'm not looking for career advice."

"You fall here, you fall alone."

"Are you denying my request?"

"I won't. You will."

"It's a bit late for surprises."

"That's my call to make."

"If you can't deliver, I need to know."

"Do you think I'm not trying?"

"Don't lecture me on vulnerability. No one's more at risk than I am."

"You think I haven't thought this through? I'd be the first one to fall."

"What else don't I know about?"

"Look, we're wasting daylight. Let's get on with it."

"How long do we have you?"

"Don't do this again."

"Now, you've got a lot to learn and very little time to do it. So what we need to know is: are you in all the way?"

05. THE AXE FORGETS

"Is that how you've been presenting yourself to the world?"

"Being a leader isn't something one just turns on and off."

"You might as well wear a sign that says, 'I promise to disappoint you.'"

"Well, you could've come any time you wanted."

"Any civilized being knows an open invitation is no invitation at all."

"I know what you tell me. I intuit the rest."

"Ah, you've remembered how to mock me."

"Setting the bar high, are we?"

"It's pretty clear you left wherever you were in a hurry."

"You're lucky to be alive right now."

"You know what this means, don't you?"

"The axe forgets, but the tree remembers."

"So, that's it? That's why you're here? Revenge?"

"I didn't mark you for a team player."

"He could be walking us right into a trap."

"They would have taken us down by now. Or maybe that's what you're here for."

"Get your coat. It's not up for discussion."

"It's all about you, isn't it? It's always all about you."

"Is this really how you'd like to start the day?"

"I barely trust you."

"Is this a test?"

"What were you gonna do if I wasn't here?"

"No, you'll do as you're told."

"We can say it's your idea, I don't care. But if it's my ass on the line, I'm pulling this thing out of there."

"Don't touch me. You want something, you tell me."

"Let's find out if you've been paying attention."

"Why don't you get a handle on what we're doing here before you start making suggestions?"

"A surprise from above is never as shocking as one from below."

"Let's have a look at you."

"You should go. I didn't realize how late it was."

"I'm staying if you are."

"It's too random to be random."

"Stay focused, _____."

"Everyone has their own rebellion."

"Don't move. You know what'll happen."

"I knew you were lying. I knew it."

"You have a problem, you come to me."

"Who brings a treasure to a robbery?"

"We don't have time for this."

"I need to know who I'm riding with."

"You know exactly who I am."

"I just want what's mine."

"You can kill each other later."

"Tell yourself whatever you want."

"We'll talk when we're safe."

"I don't want to walk in looking over my shoulder."

"Of course I'm afraid. But there's a difference between fear and losing your nerve."

"You want out of this? Make a choice. Don't use me as an excuse."

"Well, I didn't think you'd be interested."

"That's as close to an apology as you're gonna get."

"I need to hear you tell me you can follow the plan."

"No farewells tonight."

"Am I keeping you up?"

"I don't like seeing you nervous."

06. THE EYE

"And how am I wrong?"

"They don't care enough to learn. They don't have to. You mean nothing to them."

"So you think it's hopeless, do you?"

"Do I look thankful to you?"

"You'll be fine. You'll sleep when it's done."

"You'll make an effort tonight if it kills you."

"Wrong time to mess up."

"Are we going or not?"

Sass, number 4 and number 9 of fic ask game please 😉

4: Tell me about one of your abandoned WIPs. Why did you abandon it?

Oh...I had a lot of abandoned wips that I actually deleted. They were all saved in an "Abandoned Prompts" folder and I always thought that maybe I'd get to them one day but as I read through every single prompt, none of them ever really stuck out to me and I found that I...just didn't want to write any of them, nor feel pressure to attempt to write them. So I deleted the folder to prevent myself from feeling bad for never getting to them. A lot of the abandoned wips were from back when I still wrote for The Devil Judge and I had over 80 prompts in my askbox. Those prompts got abandoned because I got overwhelmed and just...didn't want to write them

9: Are there any fics you’d love to see but don’t want to write yourself? What are they?

I can't say that there's a fic that I'd like to see but don't want to write myself because if I want something...I will probably write it myself. What's that one line from Ariana Grande's song "7 Rings"? I see it, I like it, I want it, I get it? Yeah, that's me except it's more like "I think it, I like it, I want it, I write it". I think the only thing I'll leave to other writers is smut, because I can't write that. But I also don't actively go out and search for smutty fics so... I mean, I enjoy them every now and then but I don't actively go search them out, if that makes sense

Welcome to my whump-focused sideblog for all my whumpy thoughts! Here you'll find:

Whumpy photos, art, and gifsets (#inspiration)!

Whumpy askbox memes (#askbox; please note that many of these may be heavily slanted toward rp blogs!)

Whumpy writing prompts in general!

I will always tag the kind of whump involved in each post (ie - bruises, blood, strangling, captivity, etc.) so please consider the tags both a way to find the kind of whump you want and a way to filter out what you do not want to see. I will not use the #x for ts or #tw: x tagging convention since I would essentially have to double-tag everything.

Please read under the cut for this blog's guidelines!

Please feel free to:

Request askbox memes!

Send in your own prompt ideas!

Ask for recs for whumpy shows or films!

Tell me about your favorite whumpers/whumpees, including OCs!

Ask me about my favorite whumpers/whumpees!

Really, feel free to talk to me about anything through the askbox! (IMs are permanently closed, sorry.)

And please do let me know if any of my links are broken!

Please do not:

Send me askbox memes. I appreciate it, but this blog is a resource, not a place where I will post my writing beyond memes and prompts.

Send or request explicit NSFW whump prompts/memes. Intimate and suggestive whump is fine, but I am not personally comfortable with anything explicit.

Send actual gore or real life people being hurt. There is a marked difference between that and whump, and anything non-fictional will earn a block and possible report if it breaks Tumblr guidelines.

Additionally, please be aware that this blog will feature mature themes and may not be suitable for anyone under 18!

Thanks! Happy whumping!
