I feel like voxval are primed for a hanahaki au

Not the regular kind (don't care for that), but the one where the flowers are literally the manifestation of repressed feelings, and the longer you try to hold them in or suppress them, the worse it gets. And the only cure is to confess.

They're both so prideful they'd rather choke on their feelings than admit them.

i've been unable to sleep for the entire week and people keep testing my patience in ways that would make me have to do breathing exercises even with more than three hours per night and if one more person gets on my dick i'm going to end up on the news fr. like lord above what is it with this week and why is everyone but me SO fucking stupid

[adelacreations]

I will say that I find it hilarous that antis who for YEARS have been parroting alt right rhetoric and being pro-censorship are now in shock that the Trump administration might come after places like Ao3

Why you mad? While maybe some of you didn't vote for him, people kept telling you that the way you speak is going to fuck you over time and time again. And you didn't listen, you called us names, you told people to kill themselves. You doxxed people. If you could find them in real life during conventions you stalked them

You asked for this

Ive seenyou mention wuxia a few times now and i wonder what that is. Would you mind explaining it to me?

not the most qualified person to explain this as i'm not, in fact, from china; but i've read a couple of wuxia so here goes:

wuxia is a genre of fiction from china specifically, about martial artists in ancient china. i don't think a specific time period is like required? obviously some dynasties are more popular but idk how it goes in that front. it just has to be Not Today and probably Too Long Ago. like pre industral revolution i think. again idk if that's a requirement, but most i've seen are from around the same relative murky pre-electricity era.

xianxia is a subgenre of wuxia that's specifically more fantasy-like, and it's not just martial arts, but also spiritual powers and cultivation (which i have no fucking clue how to explain without two hours and three tangents other than chinese magic system. if you've ever heard of chi/qi as an energy, it appears there). so like- genshin is by all accounts a xianxia, it just doesn't use the more common specific xianxia terms like cultivation. some of those are very weird to translate and probably not common for the average non-wuxia reader, so it makes sense why they're going for alternatives.

chongyun and xingqiu and xianyun are very much straight out of a xianxia. xianyun's entire story quest was the closest genshin has gotten to a straight xianxia plot so far. i highly reccomend ashikai's video on unnecessary visions if you want more info on why genshin is a xianxia hahah

cyanide narwhal has some talk of some stuff from xianxia, but that's mostly because well- fucking liyue, that's how it works there. the whole light energy striking down someone who's getting powerful and giving them godhood if they survive the strike is, while not exactly like that, something that happens in some xianxia as well. like the way adepti work in general is just very xianxia. ashikai does a much better job explaining it than i do tbh but yeah

TL;DR: wuxia is chinese martial arts fiction in ancient china, and xianxia is a wuxia subgenre with more magic elements. also genshin is a xianxia

How do you handle getting ideas and scenes for other works when your writing a bigger peice? Do you just go for it and switch to writing that or write out the scene in bullet point and go back to the big thing you were working on? Or do you ignore all other ideas until you get your main peice finished? Just curious :0

It's so hard! I'm sure you already know that. But there was a point in the last year where I was switching off updating bloodletting, borderline, and a sky of honey every week and my brain was confused 24/7. Too many worlds, too many different rules, too many things for my goldfish brain to remember.

I have been burned before by my brain, so normally when an idea/scene comes to me (usually in the form of dialogue first) I yank out my phone and write down as much as I can before I lose the idea. Even if I don't use it until later, or I edit it down, I still have it.

So yeah, usually some lines of dialogue and a few bullet points if I think the direction/scene needs extra explaining for future me. I'm of the opinion that, if a scene/line/idea is pushing at you hard enough for it to distract you from your current writing, you should get it out. That's good writing energy, even if it's not helpful in the moment.

A good example of this was the lockdown scene in the cave in borderline. I'm fairly certain that line came to me while I was trying to plot out a complicated scene in bloodletting. It was not what I'd had planned initially for their cave "conflict" but it fit perfectly. I almost couldn't scribble it down fast enough!

We are all afraid of something...

I wonder what Prince Gumball's biggest fear would be?

There's an episode (Five short tables I think) where it shows that he's afraid of dying alone/his own mortality to some extent. I imagine that because he's long-lived and most likely has watched many people die before him, he's scared that there won't be anyone else by *his* side when it's his turn. There's no way of knowing when or how, he wouldn't be ready for it, so that's probably double scarier for him. He's an anxious fella

Thinking about when i studied counselling at uni and they straight up told us that cbt has negative outcomes for many people and shouldn't become a standard for care, all talking therapies seem to have the same efficacy as each other, many psychologists think therapy is ineffective altogether, serotonin and dopamine don't work like that we just act like they do because pills that prevent their reuptake help people*, all diagnoses are a socially created (and enforced) map that shifts and changes with time and culture, and any one person could have been diagnosed and treated differently by myriad different doctors based on luck and social factors

Shame its practitioners don't think so
