And now a quote from my friend:

"Yeah, live, laugh, titty, you know?"

I, in fact, do not know. But boy, do I want to

heres a crappy venn (??) diagram explaining the dynamics in the tl4j time travel au bc it's easier than trying to write a full plot

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for

it's funny that andrastianism was right but like a thousand years too early. like no a god and his (once?) mortal beloved didn't inhabit the golden city but. they do now.

Sharing parallels, coincidences, and vibes from my bsky account, because we need more love in this fandom and in the world in general.

the fact that eddie and maddie have never interacted outside a group setting is so funny actually. you cannot tell me those two wouldnt get on like a house on fire. i fear the day we get a solo maddie and eddie scene is the day we get buddie canon

.... Do you know the feeling, when you are hyped and want to write, and then you open your social media and... All of a sudden, you are not good enough anymore?

Tips how to get out of that?

You are awesome though and I adore you and your mun. <3

You are too kind my Liege, but yes it is quite a familiar beast. While writing is not my creative curse to bare per say, I feel that way about my paintings. It can be quite devastating to have this picture of grandeur plague ones mind calling out like a siren begging to be seen and heard and yet like a shy maiden she refuses to show. So you are left aching staring at the blankness before you. You're chest gnawing as she chews at her tail caught in a bear trap of your own mind scrapping against whatever drive one has slowly tearing even that away.

It hurts physically, bringing even I, a strong willed man, to my knees wanting nothing more then to indulge in a desire to make, but sometimes it's not the act that is the problem but rather the muse or medium. Sometimes a short story needs to become a poem. Something a painting needs to become a sculpture.

Or even sometimes you need to focus on something else entirely. Something that gets you locked not noticing as the time flies by as everything goes still. Most importantly it's okay to step away and come back later.

Of course I dare say the most valuable asset to combat such a creative block is a valiant advisor to talk your thoughts out with. Have someone to parry the ideas back and forth until it could be sculpted into something you can be proud of. Seriously the biggest blessing I have ever had is having a fellow creative to sit there and help me see where the flaws are that I know exist but cannot tell.

After all sometimes we are so often blinded by our own greatness that the glory of our creation is lost to our perception and all we can see is the flaw of it's silhouette.

Find your person or your people and listen when they praise and listen when they offer help. And of course in the most highest priorities be that person for them. Help your fellow creative see the greatness in their work and help them see where they're blocked maybe from.

(thank you! I'm glad you like me and King! Also know you are not alone. There are so many writers on this site who struggle with that self doubt who look at their writing like it was drawn by a kindergartener, but to everyone else it looks like a Renaissance painting done Michelangelo himself. I personally perceive my writing like that often where it feels lacking in so many ways.

Another tip that is incredibly helpful for me is type it up in notes app on your phone or computer.

Doesn't matter if you decide not to publish it later, just having that separate source where you can put whatever bullshit you want to text is helpful. For me it feels less like I'm writing to a large audience and more like I'm writing for myself which I often forget is ultimately who I'm doing it for.

If I like the idea and it brings me joy that's all that matters and if only one other person finds joy in my creation then it was worth publishing. And if none of that works out take a day or two breathe focus on the world around socialize with others do something silly. Grab your friend and write whatever silly thing comes to mind, doesn't matter if it's unhinged or makes sense use it as a pallet cleanser. Create with the intention to silence the critic in your head if only for a moment.)

Maybe I did this to myself but it does irk me when people see me knitting and they ask who it’s for and I say it’s for me and the immediate reaction is “you should sell it” yeah… let me spend at least a week’s worth of my free time making an item I like, want, and would wear just to sell it on etsy, making at most a £2 profit on materials and not being compensated for my time whatsoever 👍🏻

By Moonlight

What happens when you mix she/they Napoleon with an autistic tech nerd who has hobbyist sleep deprivation?

A fanfiction I'm finally getting around to write because of Side Order hype :) You're welcome, Pearlina fans.

===

Fandom: Splatoon

Pairings: Pearl/Marina

Summary: Pearl is awoken by a strange piano melody in the middle of the night. Nobody could have anticipated the knock-on effects this late rendezvous would have for Off the Hook's future. Rated 'Teen' cause Pearl's in their undies — but also Marina's shirt.

So.

Y'know.

"It's an artifact of Old World music culture raided from a holdover Kamabo facility. The way this thing was preserved is incredible!" The irony of how tightly Marina clutches the book to her bosom is clearly lost on her. "Between all the plastic and air-tight storage, there's hardly any mold on these pages!"

She opens it to double-sided lined sheets like any other, headlined in barely legible Octarian scribble over completely illegible typography: "Moonlight Sonata."

hmm not very impressed by the eye doctor... he was 30 minutes late to start with and then he did the "1 or 2" thing like three times total and none of the options were any better than my current lenses. then instead of continuing to try he was like ok we'll order these lenses (even though the one he picked was still blurry?). i was like oh that's not quite... i was still having trouble with those... and he was kinda impatiently like well your eyes are dilated so we won't be able to tell for sure until you come back and your eyes aren't dilated. sir you were the person who dilated my eyes literally five minutes earlier... why would you have done that if it meant you couldn't get an accurate prescription?
