What can we call you?
Seraphont is fine, its supposed to be a play on of Seraph and Serif Font, you can call me Seraph!

I'd prefer They/Them, but you can use She/Her.
Whats your Main blog?
not posting it publically for now.
Dying and Getting Over It (DaGOI au) Related:
Where can I read DaGOI?
It will be uploaded to my Ao3. its currently being written, so there is no link to the fic yet.
When will you post the fic?
short answer: I'm not sure, possibly by early october. its my first time writing a fic, so I ask you to be patient with me! the outline is written and being tweaked, and its going through adjustments now that MD ep 8 is out. Im also moving across the world, so I'm a tad bit busy rn.
Will you include MD ep8 into the canon of your fic?
at first I was on the fence, but its grown on me, its being integrated now.
Will you be drawing all of DaGOI in comic form?
if I was a stronger man I would. I'll mostly be drawing key story moments. making comics is an aid to helping me write. so I'll be making a lot, but I may not be posting them until the chapters start coming out (trying not to spoil everything). to give you an idea, as of writing this, I have 6 comics on the backburner lol.
Art Related:
What art program(s) do you use?
Procreate -Brushes: Shiyoon Kims Wet Brush pack (X) (everything you see on this blog is made with this brushpack) and several Max Packs (X) for procreate

I've always drawn, but I started getting really serious at 14, around the same time I first made my main blog. I was self taught up until I got into animation school.

Asks and Messaging:
Rules for asks/tagging?
Anyone can send me an Ask, Mutuals, Anons or not!
Dont send discourse or anything explicitly NSFW. you'll be blocked lol. I'd prefer if you didnt send suggestive. if you send me triggering content I’ll mind blast you into dust. (block).
Do not send and DNI's?
Transphobia, Homophobia, Acephobia. All the obvious bigot contenders.
SA, pdfilia and incest are absolute no goes.
are you okay with me direct messaging you?
only if we have spoken before/ you're giving me a headsup about something/ I've prompted you to send me one.
***minors: please refrain from dming me to chit chat, im not down to.***
Why don’t you answer my asks/dms?
my main has 1000+ asks and my other side blog is pushing 250+, sometimes the ask's get lost in the sauce. that being said, some ask's go unaswered because: 1. it might spoil too much if I were to answer. 2. I simply have to think hard to reply. 3. its super nice and im hoarding it all for myself.
Misc
Can you reblog my donation posts?
no. too many scams.

Writerblr Introduction
Intro to Me!
🪷 Hello all, I'm Quill and I've been writing since I could remember honestly. 
🌺 I'm currently 22 and I go by she/her pronouns. I'm in my undergraduate degree, about two semesters away from graduating with a BA in Biology. 
🪷 I met my husband playing D&D so I am constantly working on D&D stuff for our group to play - either for my husband to DM or for me to DM.
🌺 My main area of writing has been modern fantasy in recent years, with some sprinkles of sci-fi, romance, or high fantasy thrown into the mix. 
🪷 I have a couple of projects that causally work on, though that list fluctuates quite a bit sometimes lol. Most would be categorized as either YA or New Adult. 
🪷 I look forward to interacting with others and talking about our WIPs! 
🌺 My asks are open - always feel free to drop an ask or a comment or to start a chat!
🪷 I love sci-fi, fantasy (of all types!), worldbuilding, the found families trope (I might have this in several of my stories lol), supernatural fiction (like vampires, werewolves, witches, etc)
🌺 I have two other blogs - a witchcraft blog (+ a few random things), @mystics-scribes, and a bujo/planning blog, @quills-planning
My WIPs
project.ties
My main WIP and the first in a series of modern fantasy novels following a vampire woman from the viking age. Her family is being hunted and threatened, so she’s called to protect a family that forced her out just about two decades earlier. 
project.worldsD&D
My D&D campaign series, I'm currently working on Adventure 2 of 3 since we wrapped up Adventure 1 about two months ago. The PCs are going from the Steampunk fantasy world of Adventure 1 to the Science Fantasy world of Adventure 2 while following and investigating the Divines they encountered throughout Adventure 1.
project.survival
A science/high fantasy/political drama story, as either a pixel video game or a visual novel, following a group of young adults (that are aliens) attempting to survive a game their gods have divised in order to test if their species is still worthy of living - if they fail the game their entire race will be wiped from the face of their planet and all other planets they inhabit. 
project.videogameD&D
My Husband’s custom TTRPG system that’s based around some of the basics of D&D. It’s mostly all his, but I’ve been assisting him quite a bit - especially with typing things up so he has organized notes and things for himself and the nine players (!!!!). 
project.witchcastle
My on and off visual novel project that’s mostly for fun to learn different vn mechanics, especially since project.survival is going to at least have some vn mechanics (even if it is a pixel game)
What I’ll Blog About - Posts & Reblogs
🪷 project.ties updates on writing and worldbuilding
🌺 project.worldsD&D updates on outlining and prop creation
🪷 project.survival updates on writing and worldbuilding, with some artwork thrown in there
🌺 project.witchcastle updates on writing and worldbuilding, also with some artwork
🪷 Writing advice, my own and reblogged
🌺 Intro posts from others

✨Weekly Progress 2024 #16-17✨
Procrastinating...? Nooo, what are you talking about? (✿◡‿◡)
Weekly Progress #16
Researched loop code ideas
Prepped fan project idea
Finished scripting (music + VA) for SYVNH main game
and SYVNH Side B
Additional SYVNH voiceline (recorded & implemented)
Linearted Dove & Avia sprites (SFB)
Linearted SFB sprite expressions
Flat colored SFB sprites
Scripted Death Decider, S1-S3e1 SYVNH loop
noted ideas for resolutions of potential game breaking cases lmao
Weekly Progress #17
Scripted S3e2-S3e5 SYVNH loop
ID'd BG and CGs for SFB
Fin P^3 outline
Reworked variable logic for SYVNH
If you see me reblogging things about 30 min to an hour before posting this, I got distracted as I was updating haha.
And okay, yeah, I'm procrastinating. I don't want to final test 80k+ word script...
Tumblr media
Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel...HELP!!
Not sure what to say here, there was just a lot of scripting in the past two weeks. Realizing I had to script/check about 200 pages worth of content broke me for a few hours.
Then I said, "Pumpkin!! This isn't going to script itself! Get to work!!" and pushed through. It actually wasn't that bad since the looped content is significantly less than any of the scenes I had to script before.
The loop gave me a bit of trouble and I had to rework all the variables. As it turns out, one variable was not all I needed to make that portion of the code to work.
My original plan for the story was to use a persistent variable and plan to have the story in three acts: initial playthrough, loop playthrough, and final survival. In between each act, the player would not be able to access the previous act because, uh... I was inspired by DDLC pls don't hurt me fellow devs!! As I started checking the variables and coming up with ideas and some 20 variables for various encounters, I decided that was far too much work!!
Besides, it's better to be kinder to the player. The story can still be enjoyed the same way in one playthrough rather than multiple.
However... because I had one persistent variable and now need about 5 regular variables to accurately check the system, I had to update the whole script.
Tumblr media
(I'm so scared to test the whole thing............)
A Sky of Falling Birds
Sprites are done to the flat color stage!
Tumblr media
I'm convinced my art looks the worst at this stage so have some linearts too
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They have multiple arm poses and a variety of expressions.
Tumblr media
The initial count is 24 BGs and 18 CGs
This is a 20k word game.
I crack myself up.
P^3
Hopefully next time I update, I’ll have more info to share.
I finished the outline.
I have no more info prepared to share.

Hey y’all! Part 15 of A Galling Yoke is written and queued. :)
In the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to let you guys know though that I can feel my inspiration flagging. Luckily, Part 15 ends on a solid note! (Unlike Part 8, the last time I dropped into a hiatus, whoops!) Like solid enough that I was genuinely tempted to officially end the story there so I could pause updating without feeling unaccomplished and incomplete lol. However, I didn’t want to scrap the ideas I had for two more chapters and an epilogue, so ultimately Part 15 is NOT THE END. But it will likely be the last chapter you’ll be getting for at least a few weeks.
Thank you to everyone who’s been following along; you have made this a very special experience for me, as I used to never post a multichap until the whole thing was written. And a special thank-you to those who have liked, reblogged, and commented—you are all lovely gifts. <3
I hope you will enjoy chapter 15. :]
And! I still plan to write Sherlock/Reader stuff (maybe…hopefully…), it’ll just be one-shots and whatnot because my brain needs a break from foreshadowing and motifs and character arcs lolol. Keep on the lookout for when I post about requests you can send in if that’s your kinda thing. Plus, you can take this opportunity to send me asks/DMs/replies about stuff you’d like to see in the last few parts of A Galling Yoke, from random dialogue that you think would fit to your favourite tropes that you’d take any excuse to see more of to details mentioned in previous chapters that you’d be interested in revisiting/expanding. Just a thought since I’ll have time to take a step back and adjust my outline, but no pressure; I regardless intend to return to A Galling Yoke and finish it eventually. xD
As always, feedback is entirely welcome. :P

Vera I'm so sorry you are still shadowbanned! I wish tumblr would get their stuff together.
For the fanfic writer's asks: 1,5,12,25,55,69,71
Hope you have fun answering them <3
Hi, yeah the shadowban is….ugh, annoying. Definitely annoying.
Thank you for the questions!
1. Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?
Oh wow…I think I daydream more than I write. I daydream all the time and I’m pretty sure half the stuff that’s in my head I’ve never even started writing. But if I finally start writing then I’m not stopping till it’s done lol
I’ll sit the next few days on a one shot or chapter or whatever and I need to finish it. 😂😂
5. How many wips do you have?  What fandoms/pairings are they for?
Fuck I- I don’t know
Let’s see
The au’s with @jamneuromain “broken bones and broken hearts” ( Steve Rogers x reader) & “together or not at all” (Steve Rogers x reader, Nick Gant x reader, Johnny storm x reader, Jake Jensen x reader) in the second one is a lot ready and there’s also a loooot of smut lol just so y’all know
Then there’s “drownin siren” Steve Rogers x mermaid reader
I’ve planned a sub!mafia!Bucky Barnes x reader one shot
A meet-cute for Stucky!! Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes
I have a Lloyd Hansen x reader smut Drabble ( ready to post actually)
Oh Noise pt 3, Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes x Reader smut, which is nearly finished [ pt 1 is here pt 2 here ]
I’m planning a grumpy!roommate!Curtis x reader au :) but haven’t started one this one yet
Oh god there’s also pretty boy pt 2, sub!Steve Rogers x reader smut [ pt 1 is here ]
Omg i still have more; mean!dom!steve Rogers x villain!(sub)reader
Is it weird that I’m already planning my kinktober list? But yeah I’m doing that too
I have also a pt two to the Lance tucker shot “stretch you (out)” that I think I haven’t posted yet?
I’m working on so many things rn fuck I hadn’t noticed until now
12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?
Sometimes yes, I definitely some background stories and I like planning how every character met or if they had any relationships before with them etc
Definitely also about their family history or school
But I don’t think more than that
25. What’s your favorite part of the writing process (worldbuilding, brainstorming/outlining, writing, editing, etc)?
I love making moodboards hahhahaha
I like writing because of all the possibilities i have!
And also interacting with people. I know many people don’t leave feedback and that’s okay BUT when i finally see Someone comment or reblog something even with just a emoji or gif I’m in heaven. It makes me so so happy to talk about my work or answer questions. Idk, I just love interacting with others. I’d say im really shy in rl and it’s just so much better on tumblr. Here I feel like I found my people and I can be myself:)
55. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics?  Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?
“He felt blood rush to his cheeks, making him blush”
I use this often or always the -ing verb form
I feel like there’s also always some kind of misunderstanding? There are definitely a few oneshots and fics with this trope
There was something else I wanted to addd but I forgot what
69. What are your favorite fic at the moment?
Ohhhh I love “in the snow” By @postmodernmulticoloredcloak
71. Do you spend more time reading or writing?
Id say it depends on the day. Sometimes I’m writing all day long and the next day I’m reading all the time:)
Thank you for all these questions!!!!! Love you!!!!!!

Rules
1. No asking me to do smut because I’ll say no. Keep in mind that I’m a minor, and I don’t particularly want to write a lot of that. Minor sexual innuendos are fine, just no straight-up smut. Go to 18+ blogs for that please.
2. Please don’t pressure me to keep writing; every once in a while is okay, but I have a life outside of Tumblr (high school wants to kill me).
3. Remember that I can and will only do things that I feel like doing. So don’t get mad if I don’t do your request.
4. I do character x reader, oc x reader, and oc x oc - no character x character (No hate, I’m just pretty bad at it; writing canon characters that are in character is hard enough for me). For a list of my OCs, go here or here (I apologize that I don't have anything on Tumblr, I just haven't had the time). To add to this, I make all of my writing gender-neutral as possible, even when gender is specified by a request (I know the feeling of being pulled out of a story when seeing the wrong pronouns, so I try to avoid it). That being said, I will do things like "how ___ would react if the reader was on their period" or something like that, but it will continue to have as few pronouns as possible. Most often, the only times that I will specify gender for a reader is if it is for a specifically trans reader (as I do have more ideas for those than cisgender readers... It's probably because I fit into the trans category haha). I will rarely write specifically for female readers as that can give me dysphoria, and I don't really like that.
5. Also, no homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia in general; I’m not going to tolerate that. To add to that, any misogyny, sexism, racism, etc is not okay (So basically, if you hate people of color (especially Asians) that were born female and are not cisgender or heterosexual, you probably shouldn't talk to me).
6. No adult x minor (because it’s illegal) and I feel really uncomfortable with that topic.
7. Please be specific in your requests for writing; include ship, what sorta plot, and what point of view (also gender of reader, if applicable, otherwise I'll make it a gender-neutral reader). Here’s a general outline:
Ship: oc x oc (e.g. Tatsuya x Kenji), oc x reader (e.g. Chisuke x female reader), character x reader (e.g. Bakugo (I love him so much-) x gender-neutral reader), character x character (e.g. Iwaizumi x Oikawa (yes my OTP))
Plot: Mood (e.g. Fluff/angst/comfort/fluff to angst), trope (if applicable) (e.g. enemies to lovers, forbidden love), actual plot (e.g. Character A and Character B get into a fight, and Character C (their mutual friend) makes them a homemade date to make them get back together).
Point of View: First person (i/my), Second person (you/your), Third person (she/he/they) (e.g. Both Tatsuya and Kenji’s point of view, changes from time to time- third person; first person, reader’s point of view; second person, Dabi’s point of view, etc)
Other: (add anything else here-) (especially any little things you want me to add (like if you want to have your pet in there or anything-)
8. I am not comfortable writing readers that are a trans female, nor am I comfortable with headcanoning characters to be a trans female (unless they canonically are). I would rather not write them at all than write something that really sucks and could be unintentionally transphobic etc. (Also since I'm already kind of struggling with trans guys (even though I'm like really close to identifying as one) I just don't want to struggle more with trying to do good representation yk.)
9. Please don't follow if you're strictly an 18+ blog? Reading, liking, and reblogging are fine but I'd rather not have blogs that aren't for minors following me, I hope you understand :)
If you’ve read these rules, like this post!

Eddie Munson ~ The Adventurer and the Dungeon Master
Tumblr media
*I DON’T OWN THIS GIF* *CREDIT TO GIF OWNER*
Pairing: Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Work Count: 2.7k
Warnings: Mild language. Description of a hot makeout session.
Requested by @violetrainbow412-blog​
hello! how are you? I hope you are well
I was wondering if you could write something with Eddie Munson (if I'm too specific, sorry) where the reader is in the Hellfire club and is GREAT at D&D, so everyone thinks she and Eddie hate each other or something like that, but for some reason they end up breaking the tension with a make out session lol
I hope you feel like writing it and if not, that's fine anyway! <3
a/n: I thoroughly enjoyed writing this request, and I hope it is what you wanted.  I was an 80s fiend long before Stranger Things came out, so I love writing these imagines where I can insert music that I love.  If you haven’t listened to Play Deep by The Outfield, go do it now.  It is one of my favorite albums.  I hope everyone enjoys reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!  Thank you again for reading, liking, reblogging, and following.  I’ll be outlining a 001 request and posting that shortly so stay tuned.  Remember that my asks and requests are both open.  Enjoy!
                                         §
You sat, headphones blasting “Say It Isn’t So” by The Outfield and feet propped up on the lunch table, staring at Eddie. This was an everyday occurrence for you. You would sit by yourself fawning over the curly-haired boy while the rest of the Hellfire Club took residence at a table in the middle of the lunchroom. You never sat with them, preferring to sit alone. You also didn’t want to upset Eddie more than you already had when you joined the club. It wasn’t long ago when Dustin had insisted you go with him to one of Eddie’s campaigns. Having been his babysitter since he was in elementary school, he knew that you were extremely skilled at D&D. At first, you refused, but when Dustin came up one day and threw a club T-shirt at you, you couldn’t continue to avoid it. You attended the campaign, and it was then that you came to the conclusion that Eddie didn’t like you. Not only did he blatantly try and have you not play, when you absolutely dominated his campaign, he looked as if someone had just spit in his face. After that, even though you became an active member of the club, you tried to keep your distance. Dustin seemed to believe that Eddie did like you, like a lot. In fact, his exact words were, “He’s madly in love with you, Y/N.” But you didn’t see it. You and everyone else firmly believed that Eddie did not like you. End of story.
As you watched him parade around the table, a wide grin plastered on his face, you sighed. It was a shame that Eddie didn’t like you. You had always thought he was cute. Everything about him turned you on, from his denim vest to his wild hair and ring-clad fingers. You had spent many nights imagining the wonders his hands would do to your body or the way his lips would feel against your skin. Had he shown any interest in you at all, you would’ve jumped his bones months ago. But he hadn’t, so you were reserved to staring and daydreaming about the things you wanted Eddie to do to you. You were nibbling on your bottom lip, completely taken by your thoughts, when suddenly, your very clear view of Eddie was replaced with Dustin and Mike taking a seat. You tried to look around them, but Dustin was adamant, blocking your line of sight with every move. You rolled your eyes as you yanked your headphones off your head.
“What?”
“Well, hello to you too,” Dustin said, sounding more annoyed with you than he had any right to be. You set your lips in a tight line as you crossed your arms.
“What do you want, Henderson?”
“Are you still able to take us home after D&D tonight?” He used his finger to motion between him and Mike. You nodded.
“Yeah, yeah,” you said, craning your neck again only to find Eddie was gone already. Disappointment shot through you and turned your irritation back onto Dustin.
“I’ll see you after school,” you said before sliding your headphone back onto your head, snatching your bag from the table, and stomping off.
After school, you didn’t waste any time meeting up with the rest of the Hellfire boys. Although, when you entered the room, you noticed you were the last to arrive, earning what looked like a scowl from Eddie.
“Glad you finally decided to join us,” Eddie said as you took your spot at the table. You dropped your bag next to your chair and turned to him with the sweetest smile you could manage.
“Sorry, I have a life outside of this club.” Eddie’s lips twitched at your comment, and for a second, you thought you were going to earn a smile from him. But he quickly regained his composure, grumbling something incoherent before starting the campaign.
It was grueling. Eddie had pulled out all the stops, and the six of you playing were fighting everything he threw at you. Although it was difficult, you still seemed to dominate the game. It didn’t matter what Eddie did; you hardly took any hits. But just when you thought it was over, Eddie leaned closer, his chestnut-colored eyes the only thing visible over his guidebook.
“There is one you don’t recognize,” he said in a grave whisper, “his skin shriveled, desiccated. And something else.” Eddie began to rise from his seat.
“He is not only missing his left arm,” he said, pulling his left arm behind his back, “but his left eye!”
The whole room erupted.
“He’s dead.”
“Yeah, Vecna was killed by Kas!”
A devilish grin spread across Eddie’s face.
“So, it was thought, my friends. So, it was thought. But Vecna lives,” he said, slamming Vecna onto the board. Everyone looked defeated as they stared at the little figurine on the black pedestal. You could tell that Eddie was proud of himself as he leaned forward, making eye contact with every single one of you.
“You are scared. You’re tired. You are injured.” He raised his eyebrows, “Do you flee Vecna and his cultists? Or, do you stand your ground and fight?”
Eddie stared at each of you with anticipation. You looked around the group.
“I say we fight.” You said, sitting up straighter in your chair and turning to Eddie, who, much to your surprise, had the hint of a smile tugging at his lips. Something inside of you awoke. Your stomach was doing somersaults, and your heart fluttered in your chest. Even though you knew you should have turned back to the group, you couldn’t seem to pull your eyes from him, and he didn’t bother looking away either. There was always tension between the two of you. Everyone felt it. That’s why they all said he didn’t like you. But this time, the tension felt much stronger. It was like a gravitational pull slowly but surely drawing you closer and closer toward Eddie. You could feel yourself start to lean in just slightly when the sound of a faraway voice echoed in your head.
“I agree with Y/N,” Gareth said, causing you to snap back into your seat.
“Huh?”
The group looked at you like you had three heads before Gareth said, “We’ll fight.”
“Yeah,” Dustin began, “to the death.”
And with that simple statement, the rest of the group started chanting, pulling your focus back into the game. Gareth was the first to roll the die and get knocked out of the game. Then Jeff and Mike rolled and were knocked as well. With each turn, the defeat was looming. Finally, Dustin rolled, and he was also knocked out. Before long, all that was left was you. Eddie was on the edge of his seat as he looked at you, waiting for your move.
“Well, Y/N,” he said, his voice a little gravely, sending tingles down your spine, “what’ll it be? Stay and fight, or flee?” His big brown eyes were honed in on you, burning with something you couldn’t quite place. But you knew you never wanted him to look at you with anything less than the ferocity his eyes held at that moment. Butterflies danced in your stomach as you held his very excited gaze and smirked.
“I’ll fight.” The rest of the group behind you let out a collective groan. Vecna only had fifteen more hit points. You knew you could defeat him. Or at least you hoped you could as you picked up the dice.
It was like everything was in slow motion. You shook the tiny acrylic piece in your hands, eyes closed, praying that you didn’t make a huge mistake. Then you released it onto the board. Everyone leaned over as it bounced across the table toward Vecna’s menacing figure. It began to slow, and you all were on your toes as you watched it. One bounce. Two bounces. Then three, and it landed on twenty. The boys behind you jumped up, shouting with excitement. You started laughing as they each started throwing one another around and hugging you. Eddie leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest. Your joy slowly started to dissipate. You had just beat yet another one of Eddie’s campaigns. But, when you locked eyes with him again, he didn’t look upset or shocked like every other time before. Instead, he looked impressed, and his stare held that same intensity from earlier, causing your legs to clench. You regained your composure as best you could, gave a small shrug, and threw him a smug grin before being enveloped in another hug by Dustin.
After everyone celebrated and cleaned up, they slowly began to trickle out of the room. While you gathered your things, Dustin followed you around, gushing over your win.
“Oh my gosh, Y/N, I’m serious. That was the best win yet. You’re like a master!”
You chuckled.
“I wouldn’t go that far. Come on,” you said, ruffling his hair, earning an annoyed whine from him, “let’s get you boys home.”
The three of you headed for the door, but Eddie’s voice stopped you before you could exit.
“Hey, Y/N,” he said, and you turned to face him.
“Yes?”
For the first time since you met him, he actually looked a little nervous. His feet shuffled a little, and he couldn’t bring his eyes to meet yours as he asked, “Could you stay back for a minute?”
Your eyes narrowed, but you still nodded, tossing Dustin the keys to your car.
“Go wait in the car. I’ll only be a second.”
Dustin’s cheesy grin spread across his face, and he wiggled his eyebrows at you. You scoffed and shoved him out the door, Mike following in suit. Once the door shut behind the two boys, you turned to face Eddie. He was messing with one of the game pieces on the table. In the muted red light of the room, he looked even more handsome than in daylight. The light cast shadows over his face, accenting every angle and curve. You moved over to the table, standing opposite Eddie, and crossed your arms.
“Are you finally gonna kick me out of the club?”
His fingers stopped playing with the figurine, and you could see him take a deep breath before finally raising his eyes to meet yours.
“Now, why would I do that?”
His voice was so sultry you couldn’t help the way your core tightened. The tension was back and damn near palpable in the air. You swallowed, doing your best to maintain your self-control.
“Because for some reason, I continue to beat all your campaigns.”
Eddie let out a laugh as he started to make his way around the table. Your eyes followed his every move.
“And you think I’d be offended by that?” He asked, rounding the far corner of the table.
You shrugged, pretending to not be falling apart at the seams.
“It would explain why you don’t like me.”
“I never said that,” he said, his steps achingly slow.
You could barely control your breathing as you stared into his eyes. Brown like melted chocolate on a hot summer day.
“Then what’s your deal with me?”
Eddie’s sweet smile lifted his lips. Even though the intense sexual tension was hanging heavy in the room, Eddie still seemed to find a way to ease your racing heart.
“I’m not upset that you beat all my campaigns, Y/N,” he said, taking slow, calculated steps toward you, “I’m impressed.”
He was so close that you could reach out and touch him if you really wanted to. He lifted a hand and took a strand of your hair between his forefinger and thumb, twirling it. His rings barely brushed against your cheek with each movement.
“It’s actually really hot,” he said, looking at you through hooded eyes.
You felt like you couldn’t breathe. It felt like the tension was choking you.
“It is?” You asked in a strained voice.
He grinned at you again, sending your heart into a flurry.
“Oh yeah,” he said, scrunching his nose a little with the statement.
“Like really,” he looped a finger through your belt loop, “really,” he pulled your body flush with his chest, “hot.” Then he smashed his lips into yours.
You immediately grabbed hold of his arms before trailing your way up to his neck. Eddie’s hands gripped your face, his rings a stark contrast to his warm palms. The kiss started out sane, then slowly turned into a wild beast. Eddie’s hands moved to tangle in your hair as he walked you backward until your butt made contact with the table. His lips never left yours as he let his hands travel down the length of your body. Down your arms, over your ass, until they landed on the back of your thighs. He effortlessly lifted you onto the table. Items clattered onto the floor, but neither one of you broke the kiss. You let your fingers thread through his curls, and a little moan escaped you. The way his hands felt on your body and the way his hair tickled your cheeks was like something out of a dream. He chuckled against your lips as he leaned you back, deepening the kiss. You gave his hair a slight tug, and the most beautiful groan came out of him. You felt like you were high on the best kind of drug and would do absolutely anything to hear him make that sound again. You were so caught up in how his lips danced in perfect sync with yours that you didn’t even hear the door open again. It wasn’t until a gasp echoed through the room that you realized you weren’t alone anymore.
“I knew it!” Dustin said, his voice shrill. And in a matter of seconds, Eddie was nearly across the room, leaving you heaving on the table.
“I totally knew it! You owe me ten bucks, Mike.”
Both your and Eddie’s hair was a knotted mess, and your shirt looked as if it had spent a week in the hamper; it was so wrinkled. Your lips were puffy, and your pupils dilated like you had just snorted a line of cocaine. Eddie ran his hands over his hair, doing his best to fix his wild curls while you hopped off the table and yanked on your shirt, trying to get rid of the wrinkles.
“Dustin, what are you doing? I told you to wait in the car.”
Your statement was completely lost on him as Dustin harped on Mike for not believing his theory on you and Eddie. You shook your head and waved your arms to get his attention.
“Okay, okay, we get it. But what you just saw does not leave this room.”
“What!?” He said, voice raising an extra octave, “Hell no. I can’t wait to tell the others. They’re not gonna believe me.”
You rolled your eyes, then turned to Eddie for some assistance. He took a step toward the boys with an intimidating smile.
“Henderson,” he said, voice low, “I’m telling you right now if you say anything, I will end you. Understood?”
Dustin’s proud grin was replaced with panic as he nodded.
“Right yeah, no, I understand,” he said, miming zipping his lips, “my lips are sealed.”
“Good. Glad we could come to an understanding.” Eddie said.
You grabbed your bag and began ushering the two boys back out the door. Just before you exited, you turned back to look at Eddie. His award-winning smile was playing on his lips again, and he gave you a little bow.
“Until next time, Lady Y/N.”
You couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled out of your chest. He was such a dork, but you knew that you would do anything to get that dork back into the same compromising position you were in only moments ago. Just the thought had your cheeks burning.
You nibbled on your lower lip for a second, eyes wild with the urge to smash your lips onto his again, and said, “I’m looking forward to it.”
Dustin made a gagging noise, causing you to smack him on the back of the head, and then led the two boys back to your car. The entire drive, you knew Dustin was giving you the right act, but you could care less. The only thing you could think about was the promise of Eddie’s hands roaming over your body again. And that would have to be enough until next time.

open call for small collabs!
Without saying TOO much about what I’ve got planned for the next part of my story, I’ve got some openings in my outline for some small-scale collabs, so I wanted to put an open call out for anyone interested!
WHAT KIND OF COLLAB?
Back in Ye Olden Days of royal simblr (summer-fall 2020), it was very common for people to exchange sims for one-off posts. It was a really fun, low-stakes, low-effort way to get to know other people in the community, and I’d like to revive this trend!
The end product of this collab would be a one-off post on this blog with a short news article about an event our sims attended together. (Here’s a few examples of what the end result might look like: 1, 2, 3).
Unfortunately, I don’t have the capacity for taking on larger-scale/more involved collabs right now, so my part of the collab would be just the one post on my blog! If we end up collabing, you are of course totally free to have the collab be a larger event in your own story (and I’ll reblog all relevant posts, naturally!) but I’m not looking to develop new ongoing plotlines or write dialogue for my sims to appear in behind-the-scenes posts on other people’s blogs.
DETAILS
You need to be willing to send me your sims OR host my sims and send me pictures to use for the post
@bridgeportbritt​ put together a few tutorials for collaborating, take a look and lmk if you have questions about the logistics!
You don’t need to be a royal simmer, but you should have sims who might plausibly meet and interact with members of a foreign royal family. Royals, politicians, celebrities, athletes, and non-famous Sims who are high-ranking in their career are all welcome!
If you can, please come up with an idea for what the event would be (i.e., perhaps your celebrity is performing at a gala my sims are attending, perhaps your royal/politician is attending a state dinner in Armorica, perhaps your scientist is receiving an award for their research from a member of my royal family)
I may not be able to collab with everyone! I have no idea what the interest level will be, but if I get more responses than I can realistically handle, I may have to say no. I just want to be upfront about that!
If I end up fielding more requests than I can handle, I will update this post and do my best to immediately notify people I can’t work with right now.
I want these kinds of smaller collabs to be a reoccuring thing on my blog, so if we can’t work together now, we might be able to at a later date!
All simmers are welcome, but I’m giving priority/preference to newer/smaller blogs! Back in Ye Olden Days, my very tiny blog got a HUGE boost from small collabs with established blogs, and I want to spread the love! (not that I’m Simblr Famous (tm) or anything, I’ve just been around long enough to have an established audience (which remains slightly inexplicable to me....an audience? for my pixel barbies??? it’s more likely than you think)
INTERESTED?
NEAT, I hoped at least one person would be! Please send me an ask, off-anon, with your discord handle so we can connect over there and talk! I will lose track of replies to this post or Tumblr messages!
COLLAB REQUESTS ARE ON PAUSE
(as of november 11, 2022)

70 Encouragements/Tips For The Writer:
A/N: Rules don’t exist. These are real and personal and stem from a deteriorating, exhausted Writer who is here to tell you (and herself) that you are amazing and keep going. I hope you find some encouragement within.
Your mental health comes first and foremost.
Indulge and embrace your creative writing pieces when they come (and when they don’t). Especially when they don’t.
Suffering from Writer’s Block or fluctuating hyperfixation? Me too. So is your favorite author. Welcome to the Writer’s Block Party (all my uwus if you see the pun).
Did you spend five hours on this one segment, forget the last time you ate, develop chapped lips, dry eyes, and a stiff back (time to get up and move), bang your head on the wall, laugh, cry, fidget, take your ADHD meds, deviate to watch YouTube, have an epiphany, curse in frustration and wonder why the hell you do this to yourself? Congratulations, you’re a Writer.
Embrace all the not-so-glamorous sides of writing, and accept the fact they’re going to happen time over again.
When you say “just one more line” and it’s 2:00 AM, I’ll be here to remind you to “go to sleep” (because I’m also depriving myself lol).
Actually, sleeping helps your mind feel refreshed, and it’s good for your health. If you’re struggling with a particular segment, one of the best things you can do is just put a cap on it for the time being, put in a placeholder, and get some shut eye. I know you don’t want to. But you will feel so much better and have more clarity and energy to continue when you wake. Trust me.
More often than not, those words you “just didn’t write down fast enough and now forgot” end up revealing themselves to you later in a much more profound way. Give the words time to get ready. They’re just spiffing up before coming to visit. :)
Be proud of yourself and your prose. Writing is an amazing part of who you are.
That trope has been written 1000 times before? Make it 1001.
You’ve already written this scenario? Write it again.
You’ve just written a single sentence. Now sit back for moment and think: you just wrote something brand new, never before seen. Nobody out there will ever write that sentence or formulate those thoughts the exact same way. You are a unique, mind-blowing, awe-inspiring human being.
Bask in the excitement that comes with a completed piece. Reflect on what you learned throughout and celebrate the little victories.
Don’t be afraid to ask for feedback, but also understand that you might not always get it, and that is OK.
Please re-read your work. Be gentle with yourself. You had to write that very first piece to get to where you are now. Love the process.
Your personal writing success is not based off of kudos or likes or reblogs.
There is no right or wrong way to write.
There is no such thing as “good” writing.
Improvement is becoming of everyone so get comfy, strap in. The journey of a Writer is a lifelong one. Here’s to many more works ahead.
Don’t mourn the words you did or didn’t write. Celebrate the ones you will.
One day, you’ll read a piece that will blow you away—and it will be yours.
There is nothing “shameful” about reblogging your own writing works.
I promise you’ll find your “wow” piece—either in something you’ve already written, or something yet to come.
Baby. Please don’t write out of spite. You’re better than that.
You are just as valid/deserving as the next Writer. And you do belong.
If you feel sad/unworthy when sharing your works or interacting with others’, get to the root of why. Writing should be fun, rewarding, and relaxing. Not shameful, embarrassing, or a chore.
Writing (fanfiction, specifically) is labeled as “transformative works”. Self-explanatory, right? However, if you notice the transformative part begin to have a personal effect on you—a negative one—it’s time to take a step back.
Right now, I can name a single quality you possess: diligence. How do I know? Because you’re a Writer, and the two go hand-in-hand.
Got that single scene in your head but you haven’t completed or even began all the chapters preceding? Bruh. Jot that down right now. You don’t need 20k words beforehand.
Embrace your writing mood swings. The stray, sweet and condensed blurbie. The ideal, bridging drabble. The solid, substantial oneshot. The hefty, elaborate 10k word chapter. Appreciate everything in-between, and that you are capable of all of it.
Nobody remembers that extra word or typo or stray speech mark back all the way back in chapter 3. Tell the little monster in your head to go to hell.
You’re not a weirdo for making facial expressions and mulling through your dialogue aloud. You. Are. A. Writer.
It’s OK if the Readers can’t always see exactly what you envisioned in your head, or the full extent of the picture you painted. We all see colors differently.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with your writing.
In fact, challenge yourself to dabble into a new plot/trope/concept every day, even if only for a few minutes. You may discover you love writing it.
There’s no rush to finish/begin any written work. If you take your time, you will make your mark. You’re not falling behind or running late. Slow down and wait for it. :)
Three cheers for hiatus.
Listen to your body and mind, know your limits and when it’s time to take a break.
Actually take a break. :)
If you feel like you’re falling stagnant in creativity, looking to/revisiting other forms of creative media can help encourage the flow.
Ask for encouragement, and be at peace with asking.
Take shelter in fellow writers. Uplift each other always.
You are/will be someone’s favorite author. :)
You don’t have anything to prove. You have something to share.
Someone is thinking about your work right now.
Someone started a series because they drew inspiration from you.
Personal writing style can reflect a lot on the state of one’s mental health. Try to always be attentive to that of your own.
Self-validation must be cultivated early on or nothing will ever work.
Freestyle every once in a while. Write a snippet, timed, and go—without editing. Write the first thing that comes to mind and go from there. Do it all the way through the set time. When it stops, you’ll find yourself unable to. 3,800 words here we come. :)
Not everything needs an outline. :)
It is completely normal to write your story out of order.
Create guidelines for yourself. If they aren’t working, toss ‘em.
Word vomiting can help you feel better (it’s just how it sounds). By clearing all those jumbled thoughts and scattered concepts, you achieve a clearer objective. Try it sometime.
A rough draft is supposed to be rough.
Sometimes the words come to you quicker than others. Be patient. That is merely the construct of a Writer’s mind. You’re a beautiful enigma.
A sentence written is a story progressing.
Writing is an endurance sport. You must pace yourself and exercise it daily.
You are still a Writer even when the words aren’t on the actual page.
You’re not obligated to a writing/posting schedule.
As you progress in your journey and gain more awareness, don’t sacrifice your style. Those beginning works are what define you. Hold onto them and don’t ever let them go.
You’re the only one cringing—
Remember that sometimes words are elusive and you don’t always have control over them, and that is OK. Sometimes they write themselves. Sometimes your characters come to life and break out into dance across your page. Dance with them. You can wrangle them back when the music stops. :)
There is nothing condemning or embarrassing about asking for a beta. Allow someone to help carry the load.
Allow people to cheer you on—even if they don’t read your work.
It’s OK if your writing style isn’t someone else’s preference.
Be your biggest cheerleader. Sometimes you are all you have.
You don’t need anyone’s approval except your own.
You love that trope/concept/story you just wrote? That’s all that matters. The end.
You will never write good. You will write you. And that is good.
Above all else: remember to write for you.🤍

Alright, so I’ve been thinking about making a post like this for a while, because I have WAY too many fic ideas, but I can only write one at a time. Right now, I guess I’m working on Bug Bites 3, but I’m not sure what to do after that. So, I’d like your opinions!
I’m going to list out my outlines or otherwise mostly-planned out fics below the cut, and you can send an ask, reblog, or reply with what you’d like to see most. You may choose up to 3, to make things easier. There are.. a lot of these. Spoiler warnings for H/ollow K/night of course, but also B/ug F/ables, C/eleste a bit, and I guess S/tardew V/alley? Don’t get too excited, the vast majority of the ideas are still H/K.
(I’m also working on some art right now so you can look forward to that maybe sometime soon. It’s gay bugs again, because of course it is)
The Hunter noms Ghost. This was pretty much the first vore thought I ever had for Hollow Knight, and it mostly follows the plot of this post. Rather simple, methinks. The vore is safe, soft, willing, and basically G/t
The next installment of The Traveler and the Tiny Ghost AU. This has been on my to-do list for I think over a year now? Recently went back and added to the outline. In summary, Ghost and Quirrel go to the Archives and have a relatively Bad Time. Would be maybe 4 chapters long? The third chapter would be the vore chapter, but the rest would just be G/t. Wrote the first chapter last year--it’s pretty much just build-up, but the writing holds up to my current standards, so I don’t think I’ll have to edit it much. Safe, soft, semi-willing, and G/t, but angsty.
Was thinking of rewriting my first vore fic, A Nailsage’s Weakness. I think I already talked about that in another post, though
I’ve got two Voretober 2021 prompt ideas that I outlined but never wrote. The first is for prompt 11, Jungle. The Hunter noms Quirrel, who needs to exercise a bit of creativity to get out safely. They both come out of the situation unharmed, but that was almost not the case. Safe, soft (idk why I bother including that, they’re all soft vore), unwilling, and half-size
The other unwritten Voretober prompt was 31, Seek. The Nosk eats Ghost during the boss fight. It doesn’t go well. I guess this one is technically fatal? But in like a fantasy violence sort of way. They were both trying to kill each other anyway, and Ghost still has their respawn ability, so you know they’ll be fine. Not technically digestion, but Infection burns like acid, so it might as well be. Definitely unwilling, and near-G/t
Here’s a fun one: a series of 3 fics (so far) that elaborate on this thing, involving Oro, Tiso, and Quirrel (because ofc I have to involve everyone’s favorite bean man in got damb everything, don’t I). They’d be posted in reverse order (both timeline-wise and in order of when I wrote the outlines) because that’s what makes the most sense to me in terms of pacing and understanding the story. Tiso introduces Oro to his new boyfriend, but o snap! They already knew each other! and then the next two fics expand on what relationship Oro and Quirrel previously had, way back before Quirrel ever had to go out into the Wastes. They got up to some wacky shenanigans. No actual vore in the first fic, though it is heavily discussed in the latter half. Safe, willing, half-size vore in the other two fics, with the last fic also having G/t vore and a nice aftercare scene or two.
Hopy ship, non Hollow Knight content?? Starting with Bug Fables, because that’s what I’m most invested in currently: I only have one idea outlined so far, and it’s not the most obvious starting point in writing for a new fandom, but-- Doppel noms Kabbu. Basically, Kabbu can’t sleep at all and goes to spend time at the Underground Tavern. Alone. There are some strange bugs there that night, who dose him with shrinking potion, just for funsies. Doppel intercepts to protect the now-tiny hero from the other drunk patrons. Safe, unwilling, and G/t. Bit of a scary time.
Celeste! (Spoiler for Chapter 5) Also not an obvious starting point, but it was for Voretober 2021 prompt 9, Glitch. Madeline gets eaten by one of those eye monsters (they’re called Seekers, apparently) after a poorly (or perfectly?) timed jump. She wasn’t hurt, so she didn’t respawn, and now she’s stuck. Time to find a way out. Safe(?), unwilling, half-size. Kind of a shorter fic.
Stardew Valley, yayyy! The farmer accidentally eats Krobus. Listen, it’s not their fault their new roommate tastes like black licorice, or that they enjoy black licorice, or that their sleeping brain decided that it would really like to consume some black licorice. And Krobus didn’t know what was going on, so can you really blame him for going along with it? Safe, unaware/semi-willing, and half-size. A rather silly idea.
That’s all I have for fully-outlined fics, but I have some ideas in the idea doc that are thought out enough to almost be considered outlined themselves. Over this past year, I’ve started getting a lot more detailed when I jot down ideas, so there are quite a few of these too. (The last two (9 and 10) are quite angsty, so be mindful of the warnings)
Hegemol noms the Pale King. It’s the idea described at the end of this post. Safe, willing, G/t. Pretty simple.
Oro very reluctantly eats a bunch of Hivelings. It’s what I was referring to with this idea, just replace “pred” with Oro, replace “tinies” with bees, and replace “communal home” with the Hive. The bees give him a jar of honey as thanks, which actually gets used in a ficlet that’s going to be in Bug Bites 4. It’s quite silly, but there’d be a bit of an emeto warning for when he gets them out, beecause that’s.. a lot of bees. Takes place not too far before the start of the game.
Sly has each of his students nom him as a more advanced test of their meditation abilities. Easy to tell how calm someone is when you can hear their heartbeat and breathing so clearly. Mato does okay, Sheo does great, and Oro... doesn’t take it well. Emeto warning again, because Oro cannot catch a break apparently
Xero gets evicted from his apartment in the City and moves into Markoth. I mean with Markoth. ...But yeah, in Markoth. Hurt/comfort type fic. Long-term vore negotiations. Etc. Either G/t or doll-size vore. (Doll-size is underrated, I agree)
The Hunter eats Moss!Tiso. I had the idea like, a day after I made this post. The Hunter finds a weird ant passed out in a meadow and takes the opportunity to eat him, because why wouldn’t he? Tiso wakes up and freaks out, of course. Ghost eventually finds the Hunter relaxing after his meal, and manages to save their friend. ...The Hunter later eats Tiso again, because he didn’t promise not to eat the ant, he only said he wouldn’t kill him. Unwilling, half/quarter-size vore. I’m gonna say Unn gave Tiso a bit of acid resistance, so he’d still be fine by the time he gets out
Quirrelmon (this fusion/body-sharer) is bored, and wants to perform an “experiment.” Tiso is all too happy to participate. Their other friends are less happy with it, but get dragged in anyway. Tiso ends up with a tum full of shrunken friends, mildly regretting his life choices. Quirrel, Monomon (the two can still think separately), and Ghost seem content enough in there, much to the rest of the party’s annoyance. Safe and G/t, but with a number of prey, with varying levels of willingness
Either Ghost or Quirrel (or Quirrelmon?) finds a body-swapping spell, and they decide that Tiso and Oro could stand to get along better. Maybe walking a mile in the other’s shoes would help. Cue your standard bodyswap shenanigans when they wake up the next morning to find that someone magically messed with them in their sleep. Tiso eventually gets the bright idea of taking the opportunity to turn the tables on the bug who keeps eating him all the time. Oro is not happy. Safe, unwilling, half-size.
Bug Fables again! (Seriously, major spoiler warning) Leif accidentally eats.. the Wasp King? Takes place post-game, so after Hoaxe became a tree. Said tree grew a fruit, and something compels Leif to eat it. It gives him a bit of a stomachache. A few hours later, a tiny mimic fly wakes up in his belly and immediately starts questioning his surroundings. Well, this is awkward. Safe, G/t, and unaware/unwilling.
[Warning for.. not digestion, but something digestion-adjacent. Not fatal. Also warning for weird bug stuff] Sheo noms Greenpath Vessel, but it doesn’t go quite as expected. They’ve pupated before, so they’re bigger than when he first met them, but what he doesn’t know is that they’re about ready to pupate again. The thing is, GPV doesn’t really want to pupate again, because they fear they’ll be too big to fit in their favorite hideaway. So they go for one last nap in their caretaker’s belly, and pupation kicks in, since they’re resting nice and safe in their “chrysalis.” When Sheo wakes up, the little Leaflet is gone. He has a good long cry about it, until eventually, they show up again. In his head. :) ...Would probably be two chapters long.
[Not sexual at all of course, but strong warning for possible comparisons to non-con vibes. Also peer pressure. Willing-to-unwilling vore. Lesser warning for alcohol use, but not on the POV character’s part] Quirrel has a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad first experience with vore. The young adult pillbug has been forcibly given a day off from work in the Archives to go have fun in the City, where a group of nobles on their way to the Pleasure House find him cute and invite him along. They’re very convincing. They’re also convincing in getting him to try out getting eaten. It’s very comfortable, you see, and perfectly safe! And you wouldn’t want to disappoint this strong, honorable Great Sentry, would you? He’s very hungry after a long day of work. Quirrel changes his mind halfway through, but it’s too late to back out by that point. It’s a long night. The Great Sentry wakes up the next morning with a hangover and the awkward responsibility of consoling the kid he ate while drunk.
Thanks for reading all that, lmao. Like I said, I have a lot of ideas. Responses would help greatly! I’m more motivated for some of these ideas than others (some of the written outlines have been lying around a while), so I might gather up a few options and pick the one I wanna write most.
Choose up to three! And you can use the numbers, but then specify if they’re from set one or set two, eheh, sorry about that;; You can use 1 through 19 to refer to them I suppose
—————————————-
DNI NSFW blogs, blogs that post exclusively hard and/or fatal vore, weight gain blogs, proshippers, TERFs, ace exclusionists, etc.

MU$IC FAIRY: discontinued
TW: stress, a long post, venting
For those of you who read Mu$ic Fairy, I made the difficult decision on Friday to discontinue it. There are several reasons why I made this decision, but I’ll only list the few I am comfortable with sharing:
1. Lack of reader interest
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These screenshots were taken on today (10/30/22)
I’m woman enough to admit when something has flopped and Mu$ic Fairy definitely flopped lol. I tried my best, but I don’t think most readers liked where I was taking the story. My numbers declined significantly despite so many requests for a continuation. I gave 3 updates from June to July, within a month exactly and this is how it turned out. This is one of the main reasons the updates stopped coming. I should mention also that absolutely no one has joined the taglist since the original post dropped. So, yeah...
2. Lack of feedback/interaction
As always, my crew of readers did their thing and I am forever grateful for them. They always support no matter if they like the story or not. Signal boosts mean just as much as review reblogs. I got a few feedback/review asks here and there but the numbers just don’t match the form I dropped. Mu$ic Fairy was voted #1 by readers, yet it’s doing worse than the least voted.
3. Lack of motivation
I should state that while I do write for me, I only made Mu$ic Fairy a series because so many people asked for more. So to see my numbers and interactions decline so much it really made me feel insecure about what I was writing. There’s no way I can dish out 15 more chapters(that’s an estimate of what I had planned) with things declining the way they are. With loss of reader interest came loss of author motivation and as I’m reading this update I planned to post next month, I can see the toll this has taken on my writing itself.
Conclusion:
To the people who read this story and leave feedback, I apologize. I tried to keep it going but I have so much more to work on and this series is just holding me back. I keep stressing out over it because I have no idea how to carry on with it. 
I will not delete the WIP and outline. Maybe one day I can revive it or make it better. Maybe I’ll move it to ao3 some day... who knows? I really enjoy what I have and I think it’s a beautiful story so I can’t throw it away. But I can’t keep leading myself or you guys on. Thank you for the support you’ve given and the 3 chapters that are up will stay on my blog.💕

Tumblr Writer Q&A
Thank you for the tag, @green-socks !!!!
1) How many complete fics/one shots do you have that you have not published (yet)? None. I tend to publish as soon as something’s done.
2) How many WIPS do you have right now? I have 5 open series right now *cringe* sorry!
3) Do you take writing requests or write original ideas, or both? I don’t really take requests in the traditional way. I might open asks for a specific kind of request, or use asks as a jumping-off point (i.e. Pats), but mostly I get an idea and go for it.
4) If you do take requests, how many do you currently have? I currently have 32 pats asks sitting in my inbox. I’ll be answering a good chunk of them soon.
5) How many fandoms do you write for? It’s strictly Pedro Pascal cinematic universe.
6) Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you no longer write for? I never really published my other fanfic, but I no longer write for Ranma 1/2 or Doctor Who.
7) Do you write for ships, reader inserts or other? Reader inserts!
8) Niche fandoms/characters you write for? I don’t think so?
9) Do you read fics as well as write them? Oh yes.
10) What is your favorite genre to write for? Romance, slow-burn fluff.
11) What is your favorite trope (to read/write)? Friends to lovers is kind of the closest trope to what I write, I guess. For reading through, big fan of sex pollen, a/b/o, monsterfucking...for all the softness I write, I like to let others handle the smut and I will gladly partake. (I really love reading the soft falling-in-love stuff too...)
12) What do you do to get motivated to write? Watching the source material. Answering reblogs for that series. Just sitting down and starting. I also like to pick out a scented candle for the mood of the piece. I have different scents I like for all my boys...
13) Is there a trope/genre you like to read, but not write? The aforementioned a/b/o, sex pollen, and monsterfucking for sure.
14) Any characters/fandoms you want to write for that are never requested? I mean, I don’t take requests. But I still would like to write more Jack someday. Or maybe an Oberyn piece. I have a feeling Dieter is in my near future....
15) How long have you been writing fan fiction? Actually posting it...a year now.
16) Did you read fan fiction before you started writing? Oh yes. I started in college.
17) Do you only post on Tumblr, or any other sites as well? I have an AO3 and I’ve posted a lot of my stuff there, not all yet.
18) What do you personally consider the word counts of "Drabble", "One shots" and "fics"? Drabbles are around 500-700 words. One-shots are anything that isn’t multi-chapter and can include drabbles. Fic is all.
19) Which do you prefer to write more? HC, drabbles, oneshots/fics, multi chapter stories, other? hahahaha I always seem to start off with a one-shot and it becomes a multi-chapter so...whoops.
20) Are there any stories you have discontinued? If so, why? No. I have a couple that haven’t been updated in a long time, but I really love them and want to continue them.
21) What is one of your main "pet-peeves" as a writer on Tumblr? Seeing writers get anonymous hate. Everyone’s just here to have a good time, there’s really no need for that.
22) Do you write a particular time of day? In the evening after the SO is in bed is best. This is usually 10pm - 2 or 3am. The house is quiet and I can light all the smelly candles I want.
23) Do you listen to music, ambiance/noise, etc to write or do you need silence? Sometimes I’ll throw on the movie soundtrack or choose an appropriate soundscape video on youtube. But mostly it’s silence.
24) Do you outline your fics at all before writing? Not intentionally. I always have an idea of what I want the main plot to be and can usually just sit and write. But I don’t always have the time to write when I get an idea, so I open a doc and start dumping ideas there--particular plot points, snatches of dialogue, links to references. Those usually start organizing themselves into a weird kind of beat-outline and the longer I have to wait to sit down and write that fic, the more I go and dump things in. Sometimes I will intentionally start a doc and let it sit for a while knowing that if I give myself time just to brainstorm for a week, I’ll eventually come up with something better than the og idea...
25) Do you post your writing as soon as you finish it, or do you schedule it to come out at a specific time/day?  Nah. I generally post it when it’s ready, which is why I often post late at night.
no pressure and all love tagging (with request to start a new post if you partake): @writeforfandoms @grogusmum @insomniamamma @feathersandfoxtails @leslie-lyman @honestly-shite @songsformonkeys @littlemisspascal

[Image Description: A fan-made Pokemon that resembles some sort of shadowy creature. It is covered in black fur, with two large black tufts on its head like ears, big yellow lamp-like eyes, and long red claws on its hands and feet. It has a long ethereal tail that is split into several chunks. Purple text outlined in black at the top left of the image reads "Scuttock". End ID.]
-----
Scuttock - Severed Tail Pokemon - ghost/dark While it is said Scuttock’s shadowy tail will drop off on its own, it is still incredibly emotionally attached to the thing even as a new one is regrowing, Those who have taken its tails, both naturally dropped and prematurely removed, become life-long targets of its wrath. / What an old hunter mistook for a black-furred Twitchail turned out to be the last thing he would ever encounter. This Pokemon is believed to be capable of holding a grudge for over a century and will stop at nothing to exact horrible revenge upon the smallest slight against it.
More Cantessy Fakemon, and here's our mythical! It's time to impart a little spooky folksy tale for you, or rather a spooky folksy tail. You guys ever heard of Tailypo? I was told this story at school when I was a kid and HOOOOLY CRAP did it freak me out! I couldn't sleep in my own room for a while! And when I found out that this was an Appalachian story, I knew I had to include it. Look, I even found a reading of the book I was told this story from just for you, I’ll put it in the replies with the link to the dex page, get freaked out with me. I mean, sure, that's a kid's book version of the story, but you can also look up a more adult-oriented telling of the story pretty easy if you need that extra amount of oomph. Think there's a short film out there also on Youtube, maybe more than one even, hehe.
I don't entirely know what kind of event would lead you to being able to obtain Scuttock, but I know it would reference the original story of Tailypo. There's a ruined old cabin in Harrodsfield that was rumored to be the site of a Scuttock encounter a long time ago, and that's probably where you'd find it returning after all this time.
Reminder that if anyone wants to suggest moves for any Cantessy Fakemon to learn and some physical stats where I haven’t yet figured them out, feel free to throw ‘em at me :3 Links to their info pages will be provided in the replies!

WIP Ask Game
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!) I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!
I was tagged by @mllekurtz (*waves hello*). I’ve only got a handful of active WIPs at the moment, one of which is still in the brainstorming/outlining phase (and all of them are shadowgast), but here goes:
1. A Tapestry of Stars
2. How to Train your Wizard (a ToS side-story)
3. Dragonriders of Exandria (AU, nothing drafted yet, but I’ll give out worldbuilding/character details)
I’m visiting friends tonight, and so won’t be able to answer until I get back, but feel free to drop in on my inbox. (Also, I . . . don’t actually interact with very many people, for anxiety-related reasons, so I’m not going to tag anyone here, but I thought it would be fun to post some snippets).

monday update - 17/05/2021
hey everyone!! it’s time for this week’s update!
it’s been a bit slower than I’d like since my tendonitis flared up so I couldn’t draw or write as much as I would have liked to. I also had some things to do for this week with an extracurricular group I’m involved with (talk to me about space!) so that took a bit of my time, but it should calm down for the following weeks. 
I anticipate that this week should go a bit smoother since I’ve done a lot of thinking and planning out over the past week, and I have a lot of different scenes I’m excited to bring to you. As I mentioned in a post a few days ago, this will be a very branching story, because the way you act in the first chapters (especially chapter 1) will set you on some very different paths, which then changes when and how you meet the other characters! The downside of that is that each update will be a lot of writing on my part and you will only get to see a portion of it in each playthrough, but I hope that will encourage you to replay! <3
Hopefully next week when I’ll have a bit more writing done I’ll be able to bring you an estimate of how many words I expect the prologue and chapter 1 to contain.

In other fun news, I’m two followers away from a milestone, so I thought it would be fun to do a coupple of prompts to celebrate that! As soon as I’ll be reaching that milestone, I’ll be reblogging some prompt posts so you can send them in; in the meantime, if you have some fun ones to suggest, feel free to send them my way so I can consider them! 
As always, stay healthy and happy! 💖
