Any chance for a snippet for the next chapter Yokan? Or any idea when the next chapter is is going to come out ♥️ I’m re reading the Wolf 3 right now and am nearing the end of the updated chapters lol 😭
Hii, friend! ❤️ I can't promise when the next chapter will come because this is turning out to be a monster. 🥲 I'm at about 80% now, and have been making decent progress, but editing this is going to be🙃 So I hope to have it finished soon, but I don't know when. But since you asked, I can give you a little snippet. 😁 This is a scene I had been working on earlier today, Kol and Eve having a 1x1. Don't know if that's the kind of thing you wanted from this chapter, but I was actually having some fun writing this. 😂 Bear in my mind that I have not edited anything, so this could all change. But I hope you enjoy it. 🥲
From TW4x03: "Hello," he greets her, only half her face visible from where she's hiding - quite poorly, mind you - behind the kitchen door. Eve blinks up at him, but stays remains quiet. "Cat eat your tongue?"
She abandons her cover, stepping fully into the kitchen now, all pink pajamas and pigtails.
She is... Big. Kol is definitely not used to following humans' growth spurts from up-close. It's perfectly normal, he supposes, but it still comes as a bit of an irrational shock to see how she went from a little baby to this fully formed mini-person. A mini-Niklaus, nonetheless. Though with none of the malice and aggression and the annoying hubris ingrained into every line of Niklaus' body after a thousand years of living in pure rage. That aside, the similarity is uncanny. It's easy to forget there was once a sweet boy somewhere before the moody tyrant took over.
"My mom says I shouldn't talk to strangers," she tells him as though reciting words she's heard countless times before.
"Ouch. Out for blood, are you?" he retorts flatly. Her wariness doesn't bother him as it seemed to bother Niklaus earlier. In Kol's experience, it's smart to remain watchful around this family. "I'm not a stranger, though. I'm your coolest uncle. My name is -"
"Kol," she finishes for him. "I know."
He smiles. "See? You do know who your coolest uncle is."
"I don't really remember you, though."
A frown appears on her little brow, as though she's straining to remember, sweeping through her admittedly short tapestry of memories after any moments the two of them might have shared. The fact that he knows she won't find any does cause a bit of a pang, he must admit.
Kol doubts he would've spent much time around his niece anyway, seeing as he was always trying to free himself of his family's clutches, but the reasons why he didn't are still a sore spot. Niklaus didn't even trust him enough to tell him about his daughter at first. And when he finally did, Kol ended up murdered by another one of his brothers before he could even be properly introduced to Eve.
"Yes, well. A sore shame if you ask me. I'm rather delightful," he remarks, detracting from the bitterness. "Isn't it a bit past your bed time anyway? Are you up to no good, by any chance?"
"What are you going to do if I am?"
Kol coughs up a laugh at her unexpected show of defiance. "That depends," he bargains. "Are you planning on putting a frog under your uncle Elijah's pillow?"
Eve giggles. "No."
"Filling Rebekah's pillowcase with flour?" More giggles. "Oh, I know! You're going to spread spicy pepper on your father's toothbrush."
That gets a full-out belly-laugh from her, blue eyes twinkling with delight at the thought of playing pranks on her family. Kol likes her more and more by the second.
"That's mean!" she exclaims in-between waves of laughter.
"You say that because you haven't seen his face. Then it's just hilarious. But if anyone asks, I never told you that." He punctuates it with a wink.
#yokan writes#yokan answers#marginally-accurate#the wolf#most of this chapter consists of family moments#with plot lightly dusted over a bit or two#but the plotty parts however far and few are actually very relevant so i need to police myself not to makeit *too* irrelevant#so that people might pay attention to some of the hints at future events#ANYWAY#this is a very silly bit#but i hope you like it because i'm having fun writing these immortal beasts of the apocalypse being totally clueless around a mini human

Life Series Gimmick Idea: Boogeyman Hot Potato
You pass off the Boogeyman curse to the person you kill.
Concept:
When someone gets killed by the Boogeyman, they don't lose a life but they do get the Boogeyman curse and they have to kill someone to pass it on. If you have the Boogeyman curse when time runs out, you go down to red.
For this game, you cannot see the color of people's names so you don't know what life they're on and death messages don't show up in chat. If you want to know these things, you have to ask people and hope they're telling the truth. There is a short period where life colors and death messages are turned back on and that’s after time runs out for the Boogeyman curse. I imagine that Boogeyman takes up 80% of the session and life colors are visible for the other 20%. I also imagine the end of the Boogey curse being similar to the times when everyone would gather to watch people fail in Secret Life. You gather and find out who has the Boogeyman curse and will be going red and you also get to find out how many lives everyone has
Red names can also be given the Boogey curse, whether through being killed or through being assigned it at the start, and if they succeed at passing it on, they get to steal a life from the person they killed. Unlike other Boogey kills that don’t take the victim’s life, a red life Boogey kill does (even if the victim succeeds at the Boogey curse) and the red life goes up to yellow. So that person instantly loses a life regardless of whether they pass on the Boogey curse. It's not all benefits for red life players though because if they have the Boogey curse when time runs out, they'll be eliminated from the series.
That's my original idea.
Main Issue #1: It would be a shame if permadeaths are hidden and people are eliminated from the series without any fanfare
Solution: No red lives are eliminated until the Boogeyman curse ends. If a red life dies before then, they respawn, still a red life. When the Boogeyman curse ends and everyone gathers to find out who has it, the red lives who died in that time will also be eliminated. The only way to save them is for them to get the Boogeyman curse and kill someone so they can go up to yellow and lose their yellow life instead of their red. If they die multiple times, they have to get Boogeyman multiple times/kill multiple people with the curse.
Benefits: Instead of having no fanfare, red lives will get to give their last words before being eliminated in front of everyone. This also partially offsets the risk of being Boogeyman as a red life because even if they die once, they still have the opportunity to try again and not be eliminated (although they'll still be a red life if they succeed). There’s also some drama in a red life knowing their time is limited and trying their best to save themself or them knowing they're going to be eliminated before it happens and getting to decide what they want to do with their limited time. Chaotic and dramatic.
Main issue #2: Not knowing who the red lives are makes the red lives just seem like extra Boogeymen rather than the in-your-face threat they’ve always been.
Solution: You always know who the red lives are. Red lives are the only color that is visible at all times
Benefits: Giving people some information can help them try to deduce who the Boogeyman is at any given moment. Making it more of a mystery that people can solve by seeing when people become or stop being red names. It’ll also add more of that mystery to draw viewers to watch multiple POVs that was lost when death messages were hidden. In the same way, viewers might be interested in an interesting death message, they may also be interested in a red life gaining a life.
Main Issue #3: The Boogeyman needs to know when people die and if they killed them and there may be some confusion if they can't see death messages. Even if someone thinks they've been Boogey killed, if they ask to confirm in chat, they'll out themself as the next Boogeyman if they were and out the current Boogeyman if they were not.
Solution: The Boogeyman can see death messages and life counts of everyone else AND the Boogeyman can anonymously chat with people.
Benefits: The Boogeyman can see death messages so if they see someone get blown up by TNT, they can anonymously message the person to see if it was their trap. If they kill multiple people with the same trap, they know who died first so they know who to inform that they're the new Boogeyman. If someone thinks they may have been Boogey killed, they can directly message the Boogeyman and the Boogeyman can anonymously respond to confirm whether the kill was theirs.
Extra Benefits: A red life Boogey killing a yellow runs the risk of putting their victim in a position where they may fail the Boogey curse and be eliminated, especially if they get killed close to the time limit. However, if the Boogeyman can see the life counts of their victims, red life Boogeymen may prioritize killing green names over yellows. Also, it adds even more interest to the information game because the Boogeyman has more information than anyone but can't reveal any of it without outing themself.
Also, it could be really interesting if the chat function is used outside of just confirming kills. People can directly message the Boogeyman. This could be used for hilarious bits, especially if the Boogeyman responds. Imagine someone prank-texting the Boogeyman and the Boogeyman is like "you’re aware that you're not anonymous, right? I'm coming to kill you for bothering me." The Boogeyman could use it to try to extort people or lie about their identity. People can hire the Boogeyman to kill people for them. Or red lives who desperately need to get a Boogey kill to save themselves can ask the Boogeyman to kill them so they can get the curse.
Some other thoughts + clarifications:
Either the Boogey curse would be nonexistent or the time limit for the Boogey curse would likely have to be shorter in the finale because people need to be eliminated during the finale.
If a red life Boogeyman kills another red life, the killer gets up to yellow but the victim has just lost a life, so even if they pass on the Boogey curse, they'll still be on red.
When everyone gathers to see who had the Boogey curse that would be a truce zone where no one should be attacking each other until it's over and everyone separates.
There'd only be one curse per session. Only one person can be assigned Boogeyman at the start of each session. Any more than that and people would be going red way too fast.
Given that someone will be going red every session and the only way to bring them back up is to kill someone, there's probably going to need to be an increased number of lives. Maybe everyone starts off with 5 instead of 3.
If a red life is down two lives and they get Boogeyman and their Boogeyman trap kills two people at roughly the same time, they can get the lives from both kills even though they only got Boogeyman once. The first person to die gets given the Boogeyman curse. You know what? Even if the red life hasn't died at all while red, if they kill multiple people in the same Boogey trap, they can have the multiple lives and go up to green.
Concerns
I’m not sure whether red lives should be separated from their teams. On one hand, there’s going to be someone going red every session. If red names are kicked out, that’s going to wreck nearly every single team. The teams are going to be breaking apart constantly, which could be a little unsatisfying to watch. Also, the red lives are likely to create their own team and they might get too powerful and kill the others too quickly (although the increased lives should help with that). Also, red lives having green life teammates could be a barrier against people being eliminated too early. If a red life knows they’re going to fail the Boogey curse, especially if it’s close to the time limit, they could ask their teammate to take the fall and go red so they can live.
On the other hand, wouldn’t such a sacrifice be even more poignant if the person they’re sacrificing for isn’t even their teammate anymore, if the person making the sacrifice is going to be kicked from their team for it, if the person they’re sacrificing for goes up to yellow for it and gets to have the team that they just lost? It’d be less likely to happen, sure, but it’d be way more dramatic if it did. Also, based on Limited Life, I think keeping red lives with their teams lessens the impact of the Boogeyman because keeping red lives around normalizes the idea that your friends might attack you which kind of lessens the shock of the Boogeyman. I just don’t think the Boogeyman would be that big a deal which would ruin this whole concept. But maybe it’d be different because red lives can also be Boogeymen/Boogey killed as well?
My only other concern is how early people will be going red and whether that will mean people may be eliminated too early but Joel managed to survive till the finale after going red in episode 2 of last life so I think it might be fine.
#trying a new thing with all the colored text#boogeyman was originally going to be in purple and then I saw how annoying that was to read in dark mode#I don't actually think the life series people would do this gimmick#I think it's too close to Last Life#and even leaving aside them not wanting to repeat gimmicks#I think the general tone of the Life Series has moved away from Last Life's tone#so it's a little hard to imagine them doing something like this#but I think it'd be fun#surprisingly enough despite this being high key inspired by Last Life#what actually drove me to write this was Secret Life#and my disappointment that it was so incredibly easy to figure out who was part of the Boogey apocalypse in Secret Life#And as such they mostly acted like a gang of red names rather than Boogeymen#life series#trafficblr#cryptid speaks#traffic smp

🍂 APOCALYPSE BUDDIE MY BELOVED 🍂
aahhhhhh Meegs I know how you love this one! have some of Buck's pov 💕 fun fact this is loosely based on the book "all that's left in the world" which is a gay teen apocalypse story that I LOVED so much
🍂 buddie apocalypse au
He had never met someone so stubborn. Or maybe he had just forgotten what stubbornness was like, how it grated him.
When Eddie had said that he was leaving immediately after finishing the stew (if you could really call it that, it was nothing like the food he used to make), Buck had been surprised. He had seen the state of Eddie's leg once he'd stitched it, and he knew it wasn't going to look any better less than a day after.
Not that he'd checked. He had thought about it, but he didn't want to wake Eddie from his sleep when he so clearly needed it.
So he had let him sleep, letting the thought settle in his mind that Eddie would be sticking around at least a few days until some of the bruising had subsided and he had at least some strength back and with more food in his belly. It was idiotic of him to try and leave now.
What the hell was he trying to get to that was so important he would risk dying for it, Buck thought as he watched Eddie get to his feet like a baby deer. He shook his head lightly as he wobbled, putting his foot down to test it and immediately regretting his choices.
He lurched forward with a loud wince and without thinking it through, Buck did the same, reaching out to catch him and hold him steady.
His hands braced against his ribs and he felt Eddie's hands instinctively clutch at his arms, holding on as he caught his balance and then looking up and into Buck's eyes in a way that scorched him all the way through. Could he feel Eddie's heart beating beneath his hands or was he imagining it? Were there traces of gold flecks in those cedar eyes? Had hands always felt this hot when they gripped his skin? Had he really forgotten what it was to be touched by someone?
He tore his eyes away from Eddie's and gave him a slight nudge towards the couch again, hearing the huff of annoyance leave Eddie's lips as he let himself be guided back down.
Buck stepped away as soon as he was steadily seated, still not meeting his eyes.
He scolded himself for the way his heart thudded loudly against the inside of his ribs, the throb of it reaching his extremities. He clenched his fists to try and drive that feeling away. He couldn't afford to let that feeling get comfortable.
It wasn't like Eddie wanted to stay. It's not like I want him to, Buck chastised himself internally.
pick a wip, and make me write!
#buddie apocalypse au#buddie#buddie wip#buddie fic#make me write#bekka writes#i love this one too Meegs#its so fun

Heaven
Fallarien falls to ruin Under the cold hands of Hannes And the tolling of the church bells The people's cries like a choir For the prompt : Sound Torture [ @badthingshappenbingo ]
read on AO3
or down here, I'm not your boss
.
The church bells toll a solemn note The voice of God Now silent Come hither, come, children of God The church bells call as every day
Choir of one, as Hannes sings And dances still, Apocalpse Dancing, singing in her cold hands Whispering God’s words to her ears
“Holy daughter of Fallarien,” The people cry, In despair “Why do you feel no pain for us ? Why inflict us such cruel ends ?”
The church bells toll, and Hannes sings Indifferent to all but God The sweet song of Death, that her sword Sings, in time with her pas-de-deux
“Swans sing before they die,” she says Like a curse for Fallarien Fallen to ruin for its sins The spring of Lourdes dry as stone
“Holy daughter and miracle,” A moaning voice, Weeping “Why ?” As the bells toll, and Hannes sings The solemn note of punishment
The flames of hell melting down flesh The people cry, in pain, “It hurts” And still the song of God’s angel Slicing through bone as the bells toll
“It sounds like Heaven,” Hannes thinks
#bad things happen bingo#the epic of zektbach#yumi writes#hannes farrugia#apocalypse dirge of swans#poetry#i love !!! poetry !!!#dont know anything about english poetry rules tho#so this is octosyllabes like i would do in french#no rhymes tho. too hard for me in english#had a bit of fun with 'fallarien'#once said as a place with 3 syllabes#once as 'fall to ruin' play of words in 4#well long story short i had fun with this one#even if maybe 2 ppl are gonna read it lmao#in the end what matters is staying silly :3

For this sapphicnatural sunday, here's a snippet from my Ambriel/Becky Rosen toxic yuri that's not at all ready to post but I've been working on it. Becky has convinced herself that she is Ambriel's patron saint:
"And then you spoke to me-"
"What?"
"Yes, I heard you, Sun Queen. Thus you spake-"
"I what?"
"Thus you called to me, in the wind, and in the grass, and in the moon, for the moon is thine also-"
"The moon is Hell's! I don't have anything to do with the moon!"
"THUS you spake, and your message was recieved gladly and wholely. I charged forth with your vision and under your standard. We followed your words and your spirit with righteousness in our hearts."
"Becky!" Ambriel's frustration lets out a touch of her true voice, which makes the cuffs sizzle painfully around her wrists. This, at least, makes Becky finally pause. "Becky, what did I say?"
"What?"
"What did I say, when I...spaked? Give me the exact wording."
Becky looks uncomfortable. "Well it's not like you'd say words exactly. It was more a feeling. Of your presence. So I knew everything would be alright."
"Right," Ambriel says, glancing pointedly around at the dungeon, "Well, one, I didn't say that, two, I wasn't present and, three, it doesn't exactly look like it's alright, does it? It's the Apocalypse."
#becky is so fun to write and ambriel is a wonderful straight man for her to bounce of#especially since Ambriel's worldview is ALSO ludicrous she just says it with a straight face#becky: you are my saviour ! you're going to fix me!!#ambriel: no don't be ridiculous. I'm a replaceable cog in the heaven machine. this is fine and a neutral statement btw.#sapphicnatural sunday#they're in the post Apocalypse becky has been through some shit lol

Two posts in a day, holy shoot. Anyways, chapter 2 of my Reed900 apocalypse fanfiction is out. Please consider checking it out!
To be honest, it was ready to be published since I published chapter 1 but I wanted to finish writing the third chapter before publishing the second one... Sadly, I didn't have the time nor the inspiration to continue writing. Thankfully I have time now and hopefully I'll be able to finish writing chapter 3 and 4 soon. Stay tuned! :)

Behold, the six "unique" roles of Stonevale, one of the colonies in Fading Hollow.
I've been thinking about this setting a lot lately, including all the characters. Honestly, I want to make every cat individual under the hood, but that is slowly driving me mad. For now, here are six of them:
Chief Ra'shira - the leader. Aggressive, irritable, but fiercely loyal to kith and kin.
Deputy Haystalk - her second in command and gentle younger brother. He has spent the majority of his adulthood smoothing over the trouble his sister's temper causes
Raven, the Seer - religious leader and second eldest cat in the colony. A grumpy bastard for the ages. The only company he enjoys is Mera and his sister, Blueshell
Mera Yari-tsa - a lifelong queen who has had a paw in raising every litter in the past 50 moons, earning her great respect. The most knowledgeable midwife in the hollow
Acorn - a senior messenger. He won't retire until his former apprentice, Puff, is ready to mentor another cat to take his place
Puff - a young messenger. He seems empty headed and the wrong body type for his position, but he has a fantastic memory and a knack for social situations
#gopher writes#gopher art#fading hollow#original art#cat art#worldbuilding#original characters#cat ocs#no idea what else to tag this tbh#this setting has basically been divorced from warrior cats at this point tbh. just because i keep adding shit#the more i build it the more i see this less as a warriors fanclan set and more as an individual story that owes a lot to wc#also- most of what ive posted about FH is still canon. the Yari-tsa are basically masters of childcare. this is still post apocalypse#however. new shit has been added. a calendar. strange mutations. ect#i also try to keep to some basic genetics. will have to create a family tree at some point. not looking forward to it tbh.#on the bright side the laws they live by are different. so we can deal#my plan is to make a webcomic of this. starting with a few fun nonlinear comics to give y'all a feel for the flavor of the setting#kinda like a pilot. then start the first arc. wish me luck. still a while before i get to any of that though lmao

“Wow. So that’s it. We’re really out of pizza. Forever.” Mikey leaned back in his chair, somber. “Not forever. Just as long as the Krang are here. Once we beat them, people can go back to growing tomatoes and wheat and yeast and milking cows.” Amended Donnie. “In the mean time we just… have to not think about it.” Raph suggested. “I am not exaggerating when I say: that’s literally impossible,” moaned Leo. “Wait wait, what if we make it like The Game? As soon as you think about it, you lose. The longer you go without thinking about it, you win.” Suggested Raph. --- or 5 times pizza is (not supposed to be) mentioned in the apocalypse, and 1 time the Apocalypse is cancelled and there is free pizza Basically How I think the turtles coped with a world where they "ate rats and leaves"
HERE IT IS!!! HERES THE FIC IVE BEEN WRITING FOR THE PAST MONTH
This is based on 3 different thoughts/questions I had immediately after watching the movie and has been living in my head rent free for over a year. How could the turtles survive in a world with no pizza when it's the thing they eat the most? How could Casey not know about it given said fact/how did the turtles never manage to say anything about it to him? And why was the last thing Leo said to him telling him to grab a slice?
Only have the first two chapters posted now because I still need to go through and edit them one more time (and need to fix a couple details that I changed last mintue) and finish the last little bit of the last chapter, but otherwise it IS DONE.
Hoping to have it all posted by the end of the week, but I needed to post at least some of it or I was gonna just keep editing it and never post it haha
(EDIT: the fic is complete!)
#Rottmnt#Rise of the tmnt#Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#Rise of the tmnt movie#Rottmnt movie#Rottmnt fic#5 + 1 fic#Ao3 fic#rise raph#rise leo#rise mikey#rise donnie#rise casey jones#rise april o'neil#rise senior hueso#tmnt Raphael#tmnt Leonardo#Tmnt Michelangelo#tmnt donatello#tmnt#tmnt fic#teenage mutant ninja turtles#This is a fun and happy fic! Dont look at the angst tag shhhh#But to be real it does take place in the apocalyptic future so yeah....#Character death does get mentioned but its not 'on screen'#The pizza game#Pizza in the apocalypse#Famofpaladins writes#Idk what else to tag :/

They learn quickly that the monsters are sensitive to sound.
He gets used to talking quietly. To always watch his step and always be aware of his surroundings. Someone had the idea to raid the schools and communicate exclusively using blackboard and chalk. Hawkins has never been so silent, but that doesn't bother him too much. He grew up in the silence, after all.
What bothers him is that his hands won't stop trembling. He never had the prettiest handwriting, but the chicken scratch he produces now is barely readable. Worse, he needs for-fucking-ever to write even a single word, only for it to not even look like english half the time.
He and Robin can communicate without words - he is truly convinced that they are living proof that soulmates are a thing - but with everyone else he has to struggle with the chalk, until he just gives up and starts talking less and less. If he died because he took too long writing smalltalk or pleasantries on the blackboard he would never live it down. He tries to convince himself that the grizzled-cool-silent-type suits him. With moderate success.
Although the whole town was literally transported into a different dimension, all adults seem to maintain a silent agreement to continue on as if nothing is wrong. They still go to work and they still need to pay for groceries and the holes and cracks in the streets are nothing more than inconveniences. He even overhears someone complaining about those, once. As if everything would be fine if the holes were only filled with cement. (oh gee, he wonders - silently as always, why did we never try that genius idea the last three times the upside down made an unwelcome visit). The only shop that has escaped the clutches of capitalism is the weapons shop.
He can somewhat understand it, the need to pretend that everything is fine. That it was all some collective nightmare that will fade with the dullness of day-to-day life. Doesn't mean he can't hate it. Though he doesn't take it as hard as the rest of the party.
It makes sense if you think about it. Robin, Nancy, the shitheads - they are smart, they could all actually go somewhere, do something with their lives. But him? Steve Harrington never had much of a future anyway, and his chances of making it out of this godforsaken town were always miniscule. No. What honestly bothers him more are his hands that won't stop shaking. You can't use a gun if you are unable to hold still and aim. You have a harder time being fast and quiet when everything takes twice as long if you don't want to drop anything. Even his beloved bat becomes less reliable, the swings weaker and his actual target always a few centimeters off. So yeah, his trembling hands are fucking inconvenient.
Gas and Water and Electricity stopped working. The first few months all of Hawkins stinks of rotting food until some teacher has the grandiose idea of distributing history books. This has the added bonus of giving everyone something to do that isn't "pretending not to be under constant panic". Water filters get classified under "weaponry" so that everyone has access without the mayor having to change the law again.
Once more, he doesn't mind too much. The only reason he used to turn on the TV was to feel less alone, and now the rest of the party basically lives in his house. He doesn't even mind having to walk the entire way to and from the lake while carrying buckets full of water: he will always be a jock at heart, and it is a great way to work out and be useful at the same time. His biggest complaint is once again his fucking hands. Water is precious, but his stupid arm won't stay still and it keeps spilling out of the bucket. Every lost drip feels like a stab in his heart, and the only reason he doesn't cry is because that would be an even bigger waste of water.
But the most stupid and embarrassing part is that this isn't even his first rodeo. He has been here before, he knows what it is like. Everyone else is living the same situations that he is. And still, his hands are the only ones that won't fucking stop trembling.
#most ppl in hawkins would be the type to continue their lives normally and refuse to wear masks during lockdown#so i applied the same logic to the apocalypse <3#this goes out to all the awesome ppl who have the same problem#lemme tell you writing the first draft kf this was an absolute nightmare#like there are a lot of reasons im not the biggest fan of vol 2#(besides eddie dying obvs)#but one thing i did find very cool is how the whole town got transported into the upside down#its fun to think about what that could mean for hawkins and the people there#in case it wasnt clear this is kind of an au where they just have to continue living in the upside down#you can choose if they ever make it back#or if eddie died or got turned into a vamp or whatever#stranger things#steve harrington#steve harrington drabble#stranger things drabble#pen.#stranger things spoilers#st s4#st season 4

I'm starting to think the reason I'm not as good of a writer as I want to be is because I like writing more than I like reading.
#which isnt to say i dont like to read#but i find it so difficult to get interested in new fiction#why would i bother reading stories other people wrote when i could just write mine?#i don't have this issue reading nonfiction ive been so into nonfiction#and i feel like THAT has helped me write better just by teaching me about more things so i can make worlds make more sense#but one time i told somebody i was writing a story that's kind of a zombie apocalypse but for plants and they said#'oh that's exactly like this other book' (i forget the name) 'you should read that one!'#and it made me unreasonably angry#i don't care abt someone else's story with a vaguely similar concept. i care abt mine.#and i know this makes me seem like an asshole and i probably am for this specific thing#but i read every book i could get my hands on as a child#and then as soon as i was able to write my own stories that stopped being the case#like all that reading was just training me to do what i can do now#and i think if i could just get over my disinterest in other ppl's fiction books and start practicing deconstructing what makes a good stor#i would start improving my writing more#and short stories! fuck. i hate reading other ppl's short stories unless they're written by friends#but as im starting to submit my short stories to publishing magazines n stuff#im realizing i'll have a better chance of getting published if i read the other stuff those mags have posted before#and write what they want to have submitted. but then it's not necessarily what *i* want to write. u know?#i don't know how to fix this fundamental problem of me preferring writing over reading#(and this applies to fanfic too btw. i hardly ever seek out fic to read unless a friend sends it to me. and often i like it when they do!#but not as much as i like writing or reading my own writing.)#just why would i READ when i could be WRITING and writing is so much more FUN

Ah, if it isn’t the bitter reality of my past catching-up to me!
“My past” in this case being my absolute disinterest in the “normal” television shows that captivated my peers growing-up, so that I now have absolutely no idea how to start writing a scene set in a hospital because I never watched a single one of those ER-dramas. Fuck-dammit.
#writing problems#how do i write the starting days of a zombie apocalypse#set in a magical elf hospital#when i don't know ANYTHING ABOUT HOSPITALS AHHHH#or medical care at all tbh!#i have been fortunate enough to be relatively healthy all my life#and unfortunate enough to live in the trashfire hellscape of america where you can't afford to see a doctor anyway#so i don't know what the fuck to do with this scene godsdammit#i feel like sauron#i have a really fun idea i want to do but i just ran face-first into a descendant of melian#and now i have jackety-fuck-all#seriously if anyone has any tips or suggestions or recs for fics or things to read to help please don't hesitate to share#because i am spinning my wheels like whoah and it's soooo frustrating#fuuuuuuck#me#lotr zombie au
