#Sometimes I wonder

[little-cute-pink-horrible-being]

One small detail I think about a lot in Stormlight Archive is how Alethi isn't Shallan's first language. Sure, she knows it well, but it isn't her native tongue. Most of the people she interacts with (except her brothers) speak Alethi to her. She can go days without hearing or speaking Veden.

I wonder if she starts forgetting Veden. I wonder if she pauses when talking to her brothers trying to remember some obvious word, but only Alethi comes to mind. I wonder if she is annoyed in her head when there is a word that exist in Veden but has no clear analogy in Alethi and she can't use it because of it.

Im sorry, but HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO WRITE SO MANY GOOD FICS WITH THAT MANY WORDS??????

Do you have any tips for anyone planning to start writing? Can you describe how your creative thinking works? Love your work!

my exact writing process:

going from left to right:

– stare at my computer, willing the idea/scene in my head to appear on the document in words while listening to whatever inspired me on repeat. – sleep after exhausting my creative energy in such a strenuous manner. – eventually, come back to the idea/story only to end up formating the story post (story cover, author's note, summary, masterlists links, etc.) and not actually work on the story itself. – EVENTUALLY, write something and feel proud of myself for all of five minutes.

– eventually, come back and cringe at the screen wondering what the fuck I wrote and how I even got to the point I'm at. – question who I am and what I'm doing while staring at the screen, attempting again to will the scene/story I'm imagining onto the screen in a DECENT format while also wondering how the fuck it got so long. – read a notification from one of you coronal mass ejections asking me when the story I've been ignoring for months is getting updated (rightfully so) – write with passion fear, because I know if I delay any longer, one of you CMEs will eventually unite the rest of you and start a mass riot.

– stare at the post after publishing it and refresh my screen every thirty seconds to see the likes, reblogs, and comments coming in. – sleep (very important step) – eventually, read over my own work after posting it, going back in to make edits after realizing I either have a duplicated paragraph/section or a misspelled word somewhere and it's bugging the hell out of me while trying to just ignore it. – look at my inbox/drafts, trying to decide what request/draft I should finally start/finish, until I don't do that and just end up starting a new random story after getting inspired from the most random thing.

and that's it (i'm so serious, it goes exactly like that)!

but, in more seriousness, there's three crucial things to my writing creative/process.

an idea that was randomly sparked from a song or likely another post I read somewhere.

a super-powered hyperfocused spawned from ADD (attention deficit disorder) that randomly turns on and off.

drafts that have been sitting in my Google Drive for months to nearly a year.

it's funny because I'm sure people have questions of how I'm pushing upwards of 30K word fics out back to back at times, and the whole time, I'm like "This draft has been sitting here and getting slowly added to since April."

One Kent Was Enough was an idea I got last year during the summer (2023), and the draft had literally been sitting in my Google Drive and Tumblr drafts for months. Like I'm pretty sure I had a draft post of it on my old account before it got shadowbanned and I made this one..

All that to say, my writing process is pretty organic to me. It's really a reflection of my personality and how I operate in real life. Though, I I'd doubt that a lot of the stuff I put in there is unique just to me.

As far as tips I would have, the first one would be don't expect to write like your favorite author off the bat. One, you're two completely different people with different personalities, styles, likes/dislikes, etc. Two, if any of you remember how Nightwing and Shadow first came about, then you know seeing where it's gotten now has been a process. I promise I did not just start writing like this.

But, the biggest tip I would give is to just write. I saw a music artist named Doechii say this in an interview: "I have the right to be bad at something when I first start." Like I said in my process, there are many points I will look back at my work and completely hate it. Sometimes, the stories won't make sense to you or you'll feel like you've just thrown a bunch a words on the screen. It's okay.

It adds to your process because eventually, you start to learn what works best for you and what doesn't. Also, the stories end up turning out to be really well-thought-out and good in the end. I'm not joking when I say One Kent Was Enough was a literal mess at multiple points, and many times, I had no idea where I was going with the story. I literally couldn't get past the scene where the boys meet their dads and the rest of the Team for months until I had a breakthrough.

you'll eventually find your own way. just start writing 💛

Yesterday I was talking to a friend and she was talking about a paper she was writing for school. She wrote it (without AI), then put it through an AI detector, which said it was AI. So to fix the issue of her work sounding like AI somehow, she put her NON-AI work through an AI to make it sound LESS LIKE AI. WHAT, and I cannot stress this enough, THE HELL.

[live-laugh-ukotoa]

What if I make a post saying I like caleo, or something else that a lot of people don't like? How many people would send me death threats? How many people would tell me to off myself? How many people would be like "um actually it's-"? How many people would call me wrong for that? How many people would say things like "ok your wrong"? Don't you think it's disgusting that I have to worry about this stuff? If you've EVER called someone "weird" or "wrong" or told someone that "actually liking this is bad" or told someone to KTS or sent someone death threats because they like something? You are DISGUSTING and I want you to unfollow me, stop interacting, and block me. I want nothing to do with people who are toxic to people for liking something. (This is not to people who just don't like it and don't interact with it. This is to the people that hate on people for liking it.)

3rd Prince & 1st Prince: Interaction Observation

Something that I recently noticed in the interactions between Shicmuon/Yujerian and the Crown Prince is how little attention and acknowledgement the former gives the latter.

Primarily in how Shic NEVER ONCE looks at him directly.

When he's directly in front of him he only looks at the ground

Even then he avoids any conversation with him and turns away ASAP

This contrasts with the way he interacts with others. Sure he may not address them by name or title (God knows if he even remembers who they are), but at the very least he looks at them directly.

Such as him looking at Nuadly when he issues all his orders in the same scene.

But with the Crown Prince he seems to avoids talking to at all

Even when he finally does talk to him, he only does so with his back turned to him.

Cherry on the cake?

We see this dynamic extends all the way to their younger years too. Back when they were kids having tea in the garden... little Yuji has his whole chair literally turned away from him.

(I have literally no idea why it took me this long to notice this properly... but it did lol. That's why Lanoste pops out from the bushes directly in front of him: Yuji was already looking at the hedge with his back to the older prince.)

It would be funny, if the potential reason wasn't so sad: It is probably because the Crown Prince never acknowledged him as a person, so his response was to never give him any proper acknowledgement as a person either.

Side note: This is entirely different from the way he treats Yumehen (who appears to at least treat him as a person) that he does meet the gaze of and talk directly to.

Is he nice to Yumehen? No.

Does he go out of his way to be mean to him? Also no.

He more or less gives him the same degree of recognition and treatment he spares everyone else. (i.e. may not be polite or call him by name but he does face and make direct eye contact while talking to him.)

Really makes you wonder what his older cousin did for him to be THIS dismissive of him when even Yumehen is spared that degree of total extra effort insult.

if you're not writing smut in ur car on your lunch break what are you even doing with ur life ya know?

[queercherrypie]

I just saw on Facebook that my ex, who was chasing me a few months ago to try to get back together managed to get back with another ex of his and is now ✨married✨ Good for him, he found someone needy enough to fill the void. Getting back with him was never an option, I know it would be a terrible decision, but seeing that it was purely out of emotional inability to be alone makes me feel even lighter. That man will always be someone else's problem, I am cured.
