Absolutely mental to me that my most popular piece of all time is of a horseshoe crab miku that i painted in an hour.

Going to bed. Tomorrow's Halloween! It'd be so nice though if I could finish the outline for the book I wanted to write in November. Don't know if I said it here, but I'm doing NaNoWriMo in November but like, not officially lol. Just a writing challenge with my sisters. I want to start something new. But, so far, my outline is so-so. I do have an outline for the sequel to this other book, but I just want to work on something new. Like a very self-indulgent paranormal romance or something like that.

Have you ever been struggling with a really hard boss fight in a video game, and you’re on like your 20th attempt, but there’s a bunch of long cutscenes between the save point and the boss, so all these heartfelt NPCs are doing their thing and you’re just mashing A to get past all their asinine dialogue because you feel nothing, nothing but hate for the boss that’s about to kill you again

favorite fics written in 2024

one of the highlights of this year has been diving into writing with bg3 fic! i thought i'd make a post about some of the fics i particularly enjoyed writing this year.

blood-dimmed tide - default dark urge/wyll, mature

this one was my most experimental piece by far! half of it is written in second person and it also ends on a very ambiguous note... it's the fic here i can say is the most tailored to my specific tastes, ha. i really enjoyed taking inspiration from the narrator's lines for dark urge when writing the parts focused on him.

sea, swallow me - minthara/karlach, explicit

this fic was my first time writing either of these characters and minthara's one of those characters whose voice i can just hear very vividly in my head. i enjoy writing her a lot, and i need to do it more. this fic is pretty damn horny lol but there has also always been a bittersweetness to the way i see this ship, and this is really a dynamic i'd like to explore more in 2025...

the sweetness of surrender and either way, you got lucky - astarion/wyll, explicit

i can never get enough of the monster/monster hunter dynamic with wyllstarion and i really enjoyed writing both of these pieces. the former in particular is very specific to my personal likes, lol. i'd also love to write more of that in the future!

start me up - astarion/karlach/wyll, explicit

these three have my entire heart, and i always enjoy the post-game space of the three of them in avernus. with this fic (although it's entirely from karlach's pov), i tried to give each of them equal space in the narrative - it was a challenge, but a fun one.

and a honorable mention goes to LOST, which is currently still being posted and edited, lol. it's the longest thing i've ever written in my life and also the most ambitious plot-wise. i've already identified many things i could have done better, but i think it's still a step forward for me as a writer and i do really enjoy the canon divergence bits!

Wriothesley's builds for freeze and melt respectively 💜 ignore the fact that the talents don't match, he is at 10/9/10 but I can't be bothered to go in and update enka for the freeze build lol

[cowboyshit]

when you finally get the urge to jump in and start writing your fic again but it’s been like two years and you know you should read back what you wrote so it all stays consistent

New Ele chapter is up!

Funniest shit I've seen on Ninjago youtube in a bit because you cannot tell me you watched all these seasons of Ninjago and still mispronounced Nya's name

[eastgaysian]

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.

if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]

even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.

This Week (x2) in Tomarrymort (25 October – 7 November 2024)

Hello again! We have two multi-chaptered fics finishing this week, highlighted below, as well as a bunch of delicious one-shots and chapter updates as always.

Completed Fic:

Sits the wind in that quarter by @mosiva (M, 61k, complete) “After something of a long absence, Lord Riddle, the Earl of Gaunt, had returned to London.” This is a really cool Regency and Omegaverse AU (how cool is that to see that combined??) that features a lot of courting, gossip and intrigue, social climbing, and Alpha Tom Riddle along with Beta Harry Potter.  Broken Tomarrymort Telephone: Collected Stories by @exquisite-tomarrymort-telephone (E, 109k, complete)  A Tomarrymort version of the Broken Telephone game — passing a whispered word or phrase around a circle, with it often evolving into something quite different as it goes from person to person. “In our version, the starting person received a secret prompt and wrote a fic based on it. They then created a prompt for the next person by summing up what they had written in a single sentence -- with the caveat that their prompt couldn't use the same words as the prompt they were given. This continued through twenty-six (26!) different authors and artists, each adding their own flair and creativity to the exercise. Which brings us to now! We're wrapping up the creation part, so it's time to start sharing it with the world. We hope you enjoy what we've created -- we certainly enjoyed making it.”

In addition, a recap of the author notes from last week. (Please feel free to add some extra context to your fic update in the reblog, such as a little bit about the chapter(s) updated, and I’ll throw it in the update for next week!)

every step i choose to take begins to set the world aflame by @boyneptunee (NR, 4k, WIP) “Tom Riddle wants to become immortal. He will do whatever it takes to achieve it. It gets him in the most interesting situations. (A Phoenix saves his life. The Phoenix is not a Phoenix.)” These Fragments We've Shored by @rowena-rain (M, 31k, WIP) “You call me here because you crave atonement, and only I can give you that. After all, I am the only other who knows what it means to tear one’s soul. Or, as one very astute commenter put it, "Enter Voldemort, the World's Worst Therapist!" (Sorry in advance - Voldemort basically wrote this chapter lol)” Touch of Death by @moontearpensfic (E, 6k, WIP) “An oviposition AU, where Eldritch Harry/Death gives Tom his eggs, which will protect Tom from, well, death. In chapter two, the eggs hatch.” Time Stumbler by @wintumnly (T, 96k, WIP) “One part of my slowburn Harry-raises-Tom series. It ends in Tomarry, but everything building up to that point is unhinged humor, not-good-at-feelings fluff, and angsty plot surrounding Harry and Tom's chaotic and ever growing affections for one another. Update 23 explores Unconditional Love, and there will be familial love, friendship love, flirtatious love, obsessive love and others in future parts.”
