HIIIII KI ✨🥰🫡 7, 18, and 27 pleas for the more fic writer asks !!!

HI HIDEY ILY

7. your preferred writing fonts

OUGH. SORRY I KNOW U ARE TYPEFACE ENTHUSIAST. HOWEVER I JUST USE GDOCS DEFAULT ARIAL..............

18. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

DO I KEEP THEM? pause while i go look through some docs LOL

OK I FOUND SOME. i found a lot actually but i got bored of rereading them so i'll go with the first one i found which i had entirely forgot about, deleted from my first makichi fic, right in front of my eyes

“Do you trust those guys?” Chihaya blinks. Sure, he does. Loathe as he is to admit it, Kiyomine is as much of a monster as ever, and Kaname improves at a pace far beyond any true novice could. Todo’s performance had been questionable in their last game, but Chihaya’s willing to give him another shot to prove himself because he’s shown results before. Yamada is as reliable as ever, even while they iron out the kinks in their lineup. They have good senses, and what some of the group lacks in skill, they make up for in enthusiasm. They’ve settled into a good routine, and they’ll only get better from here. “Outside of baseball,” Makita tacks on belatedly.

so.... i wrote this fic back in july, so i don't really remember any of my thoughts outside of the notes i have in the doc. but these lines happen during a conversation chihaya and makita have after the second round of the summer tournament in first year, when makita asks chihaya to meet up. the fic is about, like, exploring how the shitty things makita said to chihaya came from a place of hurt and rejection rather than from hating chihaya or resenting him, and about chihaya learning that makita didn't resent him but just wanted to be friends with him. it's about reconciling, to put it simply. it's a short and sweet one too. i think the reason the above passage got cut is twofold

a lot of my early bouba wips have this thing where i. have the narrating character (chihaya or todo, p much) kinda... reflecting on the composition of the team and thinking a nice (and/or snarky) thing about each person. idk why i did it so much. we get it, the team is full of earnest weirdos who are great at baseball or are learning to be great at baseball. the show told us that already, move on. i think the reason this came up in this fic is bc makita has noticed that chihaya is actually friends w his high school team while he wasnt friends w anyone on his and makita's old team, and makita wonders why they weren't good enough. so chihaya thinks about his team and why he's friends with them. i think this paragraph just didnt feel like it really added anything by going specific though. none of these things are like, things makita or others on the old team didn't have tbh. but then to my second reason

"outside of baseball", now that i think about it, doesn't make sense at all in a fic about chihaya. bc 1) we know that one of his biggest problems is trusting people, which is presented to us through the lens of baseball and how he would only rely on himself in crucial moments, rather than being presented to us in terms of his social life in general, and 2) makita doesn't care about things that aren't baseball, and he wouldn't care about whether or not chihaya trusts his team outside of it. he WOULD care so much about whether he trusts them in baseball, bc he didnt trust makita or the rest of that team. but i dont think ANY of this occurred to me when i cut it. but now that i reflect on it i'm glad i did LOL

ok anyways idr what i was talking abt. i found a TON of cut stuff for the todochi/makichi cheating fic too but it was all boring. no wonder it was cut AHAHA

27. your favorite part of the writing process

HM.......... i think..... ok, i don't have much of a "process" other than: write whenever my brain and hands allow me to until either i get hopelessly stuck, or i finish it. if i get stuck i go to some trusty friends and gather thoughts and i discuss deeply with my beta (THAT'S YOU!). and then i work on it more and finish it. editing is generally minimal.

so that said, i think my favorite parts are

when i have an idea take hold so strongly that i spend a day writing multiple thousands of words and end up with a solid chunk of really good shit, ESPECIALLY if i was just endlessly rotating it in my head before but never writing words other than notes. what's better than coming back to ur doc the day after a writing fever like that and seeing all this shit that wasn't there before. IT SLAPS.

actually, having beta discussions is probably my favorite part. it's so fun every time to absolutely dissect the shit out of the plot, or a character, or a paragraph, or even just a sentence. i feel like how i think about writing has transformed so much in a short time bc of this part of the process and it's also made me better at identifying my own goals and intentions etc. it's really fun to really get into it for hours and come out of it with a page full of notes to start plugging away with. i've never stayed stuck after we do this so it really is the best thing ever

ok this got rly long as always but these ones were interesting and took some thought (other than font....) so THANK U ILY

╟ What is this blog? ╢

🌿 Good health to everyone, and welcome. 🌿

The Last Yaga blog is dedicated to my journey in writing my first novel under the same name. 

I am an aspiring author, currently working on editing the final draft of the very work you will see come to life on here. 

This is a way for me to keep my sanity, give you some laughs and a book to look forward to. 👁👄👁

Here is a bit about the piece, before you commit. 

____________

But first: 

！FOLLOW THE LINK TO HELP A FAMILY IN PALESTINE! ！gofund.me/c5d7809f

If you cannot donate, share the link, it will help my friend Layal a lot! ❤️️

Back to regular programming. ⇨

_____________

⋇ Geners ⋇ 

Fantasy, fairytale retelling, adventure, action 

⋇ Setting ⋇

Slavic fairytales and mythology. 

⋇ Tropes ⋇

Found family, religious trauma, enemies to forced allies, alternating POVs, POC characters, queer characters, mental health issues, morally grey characters, unreliable narrators. (I am aware that some of these aren’t ‘tropes’, however, I don’t know how else to categorize them, so they were placed here.)

⇶ MORE on each aspect later in separate posts. 

This book is one of multiple (the specific number is not yet known, due to drafts of future works not being complete), and I already can’t wait to get to book 2, because that’s where we get the ‘enemies to forced allies’ trope developing into something more… that’s all I will say for now. 

Tag along for as long as you’d like. 

Or don’t. 

But I’d like it if you did. 

____________

＃Useful tags (for you to tag along with): 

#TLYBook - everything related to the core structure, tropes, genres, themes, ideologies, politics and aesthetics of the book. 📚

#TLYbyTkach - some moments of (probably regrettable) intimacy from yours truly. 😘

#TLYCharecters - get to know the ones the story is about. (Main and secondary characters.) 👥

#TLYChapters - sometimes quotes, sometimes rants or simply aesthetics of said chapters. 📖

#TLYProgress - insights into my work in real time as I edit the 150k words I typed up with my grabby little hands. ✍️

#History - interesting (and relevant) real-world history facts. 📜

#TLYArt - art, music, film, books: anything and everything that reminds me of/inspired aspects of the book. 🖼

#TLYMemes - I would have classified it under ‘art’, but I’m afraid society wouldn’t appreciate it, so it has its own category. 🌝

#TLYTrinkets - things I create or obtain pertaining to the book or the characters in it. 🌰

___________

DISCAMER:

This isn’t a high fantasy, by any means, so I didn’t stray too much from our world. The countries are based on states previously seen throughout history, though scattered in time periods. 

I do want to point out that it is never (and will never be) my intention to demean or dishonour any nation. The situations are FICTITIOUS, despite the influences of historical happenings. 

The events I’ve chosen have been adapted, and therefore DO NOT represent the cultural, political or economical reality of the circumstance of the event they have semblance with. 

Culture is definitely inspired by our world, as well. 

I am a firm believer in cultural representation, and do not condone cultural appropriation. I do my best to conduct proper research, and treat every aspect with rightful respect.

The setting of my work is, once again, fictitious, which is why some customs may seem modified to preserve the integrity of the logical progression of the curtain culture and its interactions with other cultures within the world of The Last Yaga.

1. O omniscient Sanatkumāra, what did the king of Daityas do after the departure of Nārada to heaven? Please narrate to me in detail.

Sanatkumāra said:—

2. When Nārada departed to heaven after taking leave of the Daitya, the king of Daityas who had heard of the exquisite beauty of Pārvatī became harassed with pangs of love.

3. The deluded Daitya, Jalandhara, who had lost clear thinking, being swayed by Time (the annihilator) called his messenger Rāhu.

4. The infatuated son of the ocean, Jalandhara, addressed him politely with these words.

Jalandhara said:—

5. O Rāhu of great intellect, most excellent of my emissaries, go to the mountain Kailāsa, O accomplisher of all activities.

6. A sage and a Yogin named Śiva lives there. He has matted locks of hair. He is detached. He has controlled his senses. His body is smeared with ashes.

7. O messenger, you shall go there and tell the detached Yogin Śiva with matted locks of hair, fearlessly.

8. ‘O Yogin, ocean of mercy, of what avail is an exquisitely beautiful wife to you who stay in the jungle attended by ghosts, goblins, spirits and other beings?

9. O Yogin, this state of affairs is no good in a world with me as the Ruler. Hence you give up your wife, the most excellent lady, to me, the enjoyer of all excellent things.

10. Know that the whole universe including the mobile and immobile beings is under my suzerainty. All the excellent things of the three worlds have come into my possession.

11. I have forcibly seized the most excellent elephant of Indra, the most excellent horse, Uccaiḥśravas and the celestial tree pārijāta.

🌹 Agni Maha Purana - 99 🌹 ✍️ N. Gangadharan 📚. Prasad Bharadwaj Chapter 32 🌻 Narration about the purificatory rites 🌻 Agni said: I. An intelligent man has to do forty-eight purificatory rites[1] among the initiatory rites for attaining liberation. You hear them, by which one may become a celestial.

2. One has to perform garbhādhāna as soon as the conception takes place, then the puṃsavana[2] rite, the simantonnayana[3], the jātakarma[4], and the naming ceremony.

3. (One has to perform the rites of) giving food (to the new born child), then the tonsure, and the brahmacarya (the life of celibacy practised by a boy while studying the Vedas). (One has to perform) the four (rites)—the vaiṣṇavī, pārthī, bhautikī and śrautī[5], and making a gift of cows, entering the life of a householder after completing one’s vedic studies.

4-7. The seven kinds of Pākayajñas[6] are aṣṭakā, pārvaṇaśrāddha, śrāvaṇī, āgrayaṇī, caitrī and āśvayujī. The Haviryajñas[7] are seven. (You) hear them. (They) are (agni) ādhāna, agnihotra, darśapūrṇamāsa, cāturmāsya, paśubandha, and sautrāmaṇi. (You) hear the seven kinds of Somasaṃsthās[8] agniṣṭoma the excellent sacrifice atyagniṣṭoma, uktha, ṣoḍaśī, vājapeya, atirātra and aptoryāma. These are of thousand kinds.

8-9. They are hiraṇyāṅghri, hiraṇyākṣa, hiraṇyamitra, hiraṇyapāṇi, hemākṣa, hemāṅga, hemasūtraka, hiraṇyāsya, hiraṇyāṅga, hemajihva, and hiraṇyavat. The aśvamedha is the excellent among them. Now you hear the eight virtues.

10-11. They are—compassion towards all beings, forbearance, sincerity, purity, ease, wishing the welfare of all, liberality and freedom from avarice. A hundred oblations are to be offered with the basic mystic syllable. The same procedure is to be followed in the initiation (ceremony) related to Saura, Śakti (the female deity) and Viṣṇu.

12. Being purified by these purificatory rites, one may get enjoyment, release (from bondage). Such a man becoming free from diseases remains like a god. By the recitation (of the names of god), by offering oblations and by worship and meditation on the deity one gets his cherished desire.
