#I guess I’ll go write about it now

[kitswritingden]

I loop.

Been feeling pretty down lately (personal life slowly sinking into the toilet, and god I wish that was more of a metaphor than it is), and like, on one hand it’s good, cuz I write a lot of angst and writing is one way I deal with my feelings, because it forces me to observe them and rationalise them and contextualise them within a grander narrative. I don’t believe in god or fate (I’d like some comfort please but I don’t trust the universe that way) but it helps to put it on a page and see how the words match up, and it doesn’t need to be resolved (again, angst. Conflict. Loss. Absence. Pain. Loneliness. These things don’t come from nowhere), it’s just nice to say ‘hey, people feel these things. Hello. I’m here.’

But it’s also just—I don’t spiral so much as loop. I’ve said that already. Repetition is emphasis. Writing techniques. Put it in the right order at the right time and it means more than it is. Which is so cool! And I get so excited and happy about it. Then I’m back where I started. I need to say it again. I’m trying to say something different. I loop. There’s more there. I want to reach past it and say something more. The words don’t come. I loop.

Hey. I’m tired. Hello. People is me.

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously

[solarpunkani]

Out of queue and definitely rambly but MAN

Ok last reblog (I’m on mobile so too lazy to add links) mentioned Solarpunk being more about settling down in a location whereas Lunarpunk is more nomadic and traveling on the water and such and

I

Got

A

Image in my head

Of a romance story. Or coming of age. Or both?

Of someone living in a solarpunk community along the shore, and someone living in a lunarpunk ocean nomadic community that stops by that shore and stays for a few days/weeks every time they come around. There’s always gardens and extra seats kept in storage for when they come around, warm beds to stay in, etc.

And these two people over time become close friends and maybe even fall for each other? But on top of the song and dance of ‘do I tell them, how to tell them, etc’ they have to also grapple with the fact that one of them stays put and the other is nomadic and their group only swings by once or twice a year on average (for a few weeks each but still)

And they gotta decide (once they finally confess to each other) what they’re gonna do. One person would miss home if they left with the nomads and their family and friends, and one person would miss traveling the seas and THEIR friends and family if they stayed put.

Idk if the solution would be to stay some years and travel others or what but thats ‘not 3am Ani’ to consider

Idk if this makes sense idk if this’ll seem like a good story idea and I SUCK ASS At writing romances (or having them hahaha *crying sounds*) but like

Yeah thats my braincell rn

So jealous you love in la i bet the show was so good😭 also love that orville wears his mask everywhere lmao

It definitely has its pros and cons but living in a city where pretty much every artist performs is definitely at the top of the pro list! And it’s kinda funny when T&K reference local things like this that I just so happened to be at too lol

Honestly it was such a good show 😭 I love Tina& Amy so much and have been fans of them for forever so it was everything I expected and more. I know they’re touring through next year and hopefully they keep adding more cities so you can see them too!

Also, seeing Orville irl was so funny because the hat and mask are his disguises but it actually just makes him stand out more so the whole YouTube theater saw him come in. He also sat down like right before the show started and everyone else was already seated so there was a hush over the crowd as everyone watched him. Idk I laughed. Also also my friend was seated a few rows behind him and he blocked the view with his giant cowboy hat so she took a picture and since I was seated a few rows in front you can see the back of my head… and that’s how I technically have a picture with Orville Peck lmao

I wish for the Duffers to regret it every day of the rest of their lives that they were cowards and ignored/were blind to Joe and Joseph's chemistry and didn't make Steddie canon. (They probably don't really think about it that hard but they should. Jury is still out on Robin's fate obviously)

THE DUFFER’S REALLY DONE GOOFED WITH THIS ONE like the story potential!! Wasted!!

Steve and Robin bonding over being queer in the eighties? Dustin grappling with his two cool older friends dating?? Will having queer older brother figures???

The actors put it all onto a platter and Duffers really said “whoops I can’t see.”

Anyway 100% agree and thank you for sending an ask 🥰

….sometimes, it’s about logging off and talking to people and not about pointing fingers and claiming moral superiority over fiction.

I wish people understood that you can just choose to block and not engage. You can read a thing, like it or dislike it, and then choose to back out at any time. And that can all happen privately, without blasting thoughts into the void.

[laniemae]

I find it funny how despite being a media analyst and knowing everything about storytelling, writing, and characters I’ve barely actually written anything creative and like the only thing I’ve written was some Pokémon mystery dungeon fanfiction when I was a kid

[wyrm-with-a-why]

I’m so stressed the fuck out right now :3

[celestial-toys]

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying

[fi3stazo]

so that villain au? 👀

(5/7/23 edit: this version isn’t up to date anymore!)

(Rereading this after I typed everything out, apologies that it’s so long 💀)

I’m just gonna try my best cause explaining things aren’t exactly my forte </3

(AU under the keep reading because this is really long </3)

I’ve been calling this AU like the uh. Dolor universe. Like I call the Panchito from that world Dolor!Panchito. Anyways also in both worlds, Panchito and José are already in an established relationship So first off, like yours, Panchito and José go on an adventure with the McDuck family and in the end José is swallowed up by magic from some sorcerer. Of course Panchito doesn’t react well to this and he’s uh. Sad. He quietly distances himself from the McDuck after that

Donald feels bad and then he gets the brilliant idea to show one of the gazillion artifacts that Scrooge has to Panchito, which is basically opens dimensional portals. It is also very fragile. Donald has Panchito come over to the manor to look at it, and basically says that they could maybe try finding a José that lost his Panchito and bring him over so that maybe they could be together or something(?)

As they’re flipping through dimensions(?) they look at numerous Josés. Then they spot one who acts, talks, looks, everything, exactly like their old José. This José is the one from our dimension. Panchito was fairly reluctant until now. He gets kind of excited and states that he’d like to bring that one over. Donald goes no no that one has a Panchito

(Dolor!)Panchito gets a bit upset and grabs the artifact from Donald and insists on at least meeting him. Donald grabs it back and says they’re not bringing that one over. They fight over the artifact until it slips from Donald’s hands and it shatters on the floor, rendering it useless. Something in Panchito snaps, and he leaves. Panchito basically cuts himself off from the McDuck family and Donald unintentionally planted a seed from this interaction.

This next part I’m not really sure what happens, either Panchito gets pointers from someone or he does it on his own, but he tries to open his own portal to our world. He has to do suspicious side jobs to achieve it and whatnot. Anyways back to what I consider canon (In comes Paperinik! Duck Avenger???? Whatever name of his that you prefer. I prefer Paperinik cause it vaguely sounds like “paper n’ ink” but anyways)

Paperinik, AKA Donald(if you didn’t know, Paperinik’s this superhero alter-ego of Donald’s in some comics. It slaps way harder than it should tbh, anyways) notices the activity and puts an end to it. And then Panchito tries a different way and Paperinik stops him again. And uhh this basically goes on for a few years. Also Panchito gets his own new place to stay, and avoids his family in Mexico(my hc one, at least). And uhh he gets an outfit change

Don’t know if I want this to happen either but maybe Panchito pieces it together that Donald is Paperinik down the line. Maybe Paperinik says something that was kind of personal and makes Panchito go how would you know that. Or mf follows Paperinik home one day or something, I don’t know but if he does find out then it’d make for some pretty cool dialogue. Idk I feel like I shouldn’t because I think it would make him too op or something

Back to canon, after a while Paperinik mentions something about his gadgets being made by Gyro. (I’m not sure if I wanna go with the og Gyro or the 2017 one but I think I’ll just use a mixture of both.) Panchito jumps to the conclusion that perhaps he can get this Gyro guy to make him a dimensional portal. So Panchito tracks him down, and basically. Holds him hostage and forces him to work on a dimensional portal. He crushes/destroys Lil’ Bulb on his way in and even shoots Gyro’s foot at some point because he tried getting help 💀

But uhh eventually the portal device is finished and Panchito leaves Gyro and runs off with the device to use it on his own. He observes our world for a little bit before he actually crosses over.

There, while our José was asleep, Dolor!Panchito just. Takes him to his place in his dimension. Yeah anyways Dolor!Panchito dons his old clothing again to look more like our Panchito, and gives José some dumb excuse as to why he woke up in a new place. Though hesitant, José trusts him because Panchito hasn’t ever intentionally betrayed his trust before. Dolor!Panchito essentially plays along with our world’s consistencies in hopes that José won’t realize he’s in a different dimension. He doesn’t need to cover up his personality given that since José’s here now, he feels more happier and some of his old spirit comes back with it if that makes sense Eventually José pieces clues together from Dolor!Panchito’s abode that, oh god, he’s not in his own world. (The final nails in the coffin was Dolor!Panchito failing to get rid of some written plans and not hiding the dimensional device well enough. Probably. Other telltale sign I think: Dolor!Panchito gets angry at the mention of Donald.) José reasonably gets upset and demands Dolor!Panchito to bring him back to his world. Though agitated, Dolor!Panchito obliges. Hesitantly. And Dolor!Panchito just goes back into his normal attire seeing that he can’t change José’s mind anymore.

They both travel to our dimension, and José reunites happily with Panchito and Donald. Both have been freaking out because he’s been gone for a few days, at least. Dolor!Panchito gets angry watching, especially at Panchito. Something about Panchito being the reason why José didn’t want to stay, that it was his fault. Dolor!Panchito starts a physical fight with Panchito. Panchito was upset that he kidnapped his partner anyways so he goes with the fight

The two actually get out of José and Donald’s sight at some point because it was a lot of running around and the fight just kept moving but anyways there comes a point where Panchito shoots Dolor!Panchito’s foot (ah, irony,) albeit accidentally. Dolor!Panchito gets a burst of anger from that and he manages to knock out Panchito. Then, he gets the idea to swap clothes with him. You probably get where this is going. Donald and José catch up and Dolor!Panchito pretends to be their Panchito and basically goes ohhhhh my god guys he shot my leg, we should put him back in his dimension before he wakes up

Dolor!Panchito pretends to fumble with the dimensional device he used and just so happens to press the right buttons to open a portal to his home dimension. The three toss Panchito though and keep the device on their side and close the portal. Eventually Panchito gathers his bearings and wakes up somewhere he’s unfamiliar with.

An (recovering) Dolor!Gyro and Dolor!Paperinik find him and assume he’s their Panchito. (Dolor!Lil’ Bulb is there and okay btw, Dolor!Gyro was able to fix him.) After a small tussle and some explaining from Panchito, the two believe him and agree to help return him to his dimension. Since the dimensional device didn’t come with Panchito, Dolor!Gyro has to make a new one and that prolly takes less time than the last considering he would already have the plans done and he’d just need to make it. The three make it to our dimension.

They get to Donald, José, and Dolor!Panchito. (Cue Donald and Dolor!Paperinik/Donald desperately trying to pretend to be different people lol) Donald and José don’t believe them when they say that the Panchito they’re with is the wrong one. (Panchito hasn’t changed out of Dolor!Panchito’s attire or anything so that probably made it worse.) Dolor!Panchito of course plays along. Dolor!Gyro tells them to ask Dolor!Panchito about an event only Panchito would know, within the same period of time Dolor!José has been presumed dead. José asks the question and Dolor!Panchito answers incorrectly, and Panchito corrects him. Yeah so cat’s out of the bag

Don’t know how it gets to this point but maybe José, Donald, or Panchito ask why this is happening and such. If Dolor!Panchito knows Dolor!Paperinik’s identity, then Dolor!Paperinik is the one who recounts what happened to Dolor!José. If he doesn’t, then perhaps Dolor!Panchito begrudgingly recounts it instead. Donald says he thinks they might be able to help with that.

See, José got swallowed by magic in both dimensions, but one he got out and the other he didn’t. In our world, the family defeats the sorcerer and basically forces him to try and bring back José, which he succeeds in. In theirs, the sorcerer got away.

(By the way, is the sorcerer based off of a pre-existing character perchance??? Or is he an Oc??)

Donald says that the family and the sorcerer are on decent-ish terms, given that they’re on a truce. That they can try and convince the sorcerer to cross dimensions with them to try and bring Dolor!José back.

So, yeah. That’s what they try to do and it works. Dolor!Panchito is reunited with Dolor!José, a happy ending I think-? I’m not sure what happens next but I want to solidify everything in the story to this point first before I continue to add on.

This story will probably change a bit, so this isn’t the final version, obviously. There’s things like the designs especially that I’m kind of on the fence about right now. I’m okay with Dolor!Panchito’s design but I might change a few things later. Also about that. I originally intended for this universe to be almost exactly like ours, which means everyone’s designs will likely be the same. Just kind of bothers me that Dolor!Panchito is the only one that changes. But I think I’ll stay with the majority of the designs being basically the same as the originals. The reason why Dolor!Panchito fixates on our world specifically so much is because it’s exactly the same as his(almost, except him) and I don’t want to stray from that logic

Anyways, all done! Thanks for asking!

That feeling when you get a plotbunny for a fandom where you don’t even go, IN A CONLANG, and you don’t have anyone who knows it so it’s just pingponging around in your brain

need to poll my friends, does anybody drink black coffee like just coffee from inside of a coffee pot and you don’t put anything in it?

[lemondropletters]

I know I’m making a joke but you really don’t understand how angry I am at the recent news.

[Video Captions: “Why are you the way that you are? / Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. / I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.”]

[walkingmusical]

“Is this about what happened in my bed chambers last night?” Lord Kade Arryn’s ward, Lady Veronica Lannister, said. “I had the maester make me a tea, you do not need to worry about my honour.”

But Prince Archie Stark was worried about her honour. In a perfect world, he could have expressed the feelings that overcame him when he was around Veronica, and no Lord in Westeros would care. Unfortunately they did not live in that world, and she would not be able marry now that they had slept together.

“You are promised to Betty Mormont.” Veronica added. “Do not weaken your crown by upsetting an ally, not on my account.”

She did bring up a valid point - but he and Lady Betty were only recently betrothed by his grandmother and her father. They only met a few times, and he honestly felt nothing for the woman. When he first saw Veronica, however, he fell for her instantly.

“The Mormonts understand honour.” Archie assured her. “They may not understand how my love for you overcame me, but they will understand the need to preserve your honour.”

If worst came to worse, Archie would promise his future heir one of Polly Mormont’s future children. As much as he wanted love for his own blood, he also wanted them safe. One might say that it was selfish to put them in that situation, but he couldn’t undo what happened between him and Veronica - and he didn’t want to, either. This was the best step forward.

“Besides, I cannot think of a greater honour than having you as my Queen.” Archie added.

Veronica blushed at that, which gave him a warm feeling in his chest. He loved these little signs that she was just as fond of him as he was of her.

“Would the North even accept a Lady from the Six Kingdoms as their Queen?” Veronica asked. “A Lannister one, at that.”

“Robb Stark died decades ago.” Archie assured her. “They’ll be uncertain at first, but they’ll come around when you serve them well on my council.”

“On your council?” Veronica asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I know you would not be happy simply bearing me children.” Archie said. “I will find you a role on my small council, and you can serve the Kingdom.”

The last thing he wanted to do was hold her back.

“I will still give you sons.” Veronica voice broke, a strong sound of joy in her tone. It was probably something her mother taught her to say to suitors.

Archie glanced up from the ground, where he was on one knee, and could see a tearful grin on her face.

“What if I want only daughters?” Archie asked, raising from the ground and reaching out to grab Veronica’s hand. “To one day rule as well as my grandmother does?”

The grin on Veronica’s face grew alongside Archie’s, and he knew then that it was settled. He would ride to King‘a Landing to stand before the elderly but enduring King Bran, and then he would return to the Eyrie and ride north with his bride.
