#a perfect place to start

[aroaceleovaldez]

i think the thing i'm most disappointed about with riordanverse fandom now versus like 2014 is not only has the fandom not gotten any less racist or queerphobic or ableist (in fact in some regards its gotten worse!) but now it's just boring too. like there's no fandom infrastructure anymore - the community these days is almost entirely source material-driven - and you deviate from canon even slightly people get weird about it. whatever happened to the post-HoO fanon boom. the fandom needs to get weirder again. and self-sufficient. and less offensive.

we need to make suggesting someone skip the first three seasons of mash as taboo as suggesting someone skip the ninth doctor

Making a birthday cake for a friend tonight (something I haven't done for a while), and I forgot how much I love baking & cake decorating. I'll post pics when I'm done, I'm very excited. 🥰

O you, who at the world's far-off end dwell,

I know your wish- it is my wish as well.

Gentle reminder that I am a real human person on the other side of this icon.

I am always grateful for support and conversation around the art that I share!!! But within moderation. Please try not to spam on my posts or comment the same things on one piece across multiple platforms. Sharing your thoughts/appreciation on one social will suffice.

Also please be mindful of the types of comments you're sharing in general. I am not the "CEO" or "Queen of RG" and I don't claim to be. It is honestly pretty alienating being treated that way - for myself and other RG creators - esp in a fan community that is as small and inactive as this one is these days.

This isn't directed at any one specific person as this has come from a few different sources over the years. Just wanted to post something about it because boundaries are important.

Thank you for understanding <3

It’s November and I’m putting down the glass and plastic. The weather is cold and I have time to take. This is not life or death. I am an adult and I am not in trouble.

It’s November and I’m managing what I can and making peace with what I can’t. I cannot control everything, I don’t need to control everything. This feeling is uncomfortable but it is not unsafe. My ideas of perfection only harm me. I do not need to fulfil a daily quota of worthiness to deserve the love I am given. When I am kinder to myself, I can be kinder to everything else.

It’s November and the dark is startling, the cold is striking, the stars are shining. There is life to be lived

A few months back, I asked if it was okay to write using Clora and Seb. Finished the work - thought I'd lost it on my hard drive and a virus scan located it.

Not sure if it's sad or happy, but the basic premise of it is Clora getting frustrated/upset at Sebastian and Sebastian comforting her, Sebastian getting upset at a predicament Clora's in and Clora comforting him, and them both getting frustrated/upset and having to comfort each other.

If you'd rather I didn't post it, that's fine too, but just wanted to test the waters and double check that you'd be okay with it if I gifted it to you via AO3, or see if you wanted a sneak peak of it before posting it.

OMG im so happy you were able to find it and recover the work you did!!😭🙏 AND YES OF COURSE YOU CAN POST IT AAA I CANT WAIT TO READ IT!! you can DM it to me first if you want, but i also dont mind if you post it straight away on ao3!! IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SM AAARGHHHA💖💖💖IT SOUNDS ANGSTY WE LOVE THE HURT/COMFORT I HOPE MY HEART CAN HANDLE IT🥺💖💖TY AGAIN FOR USING CLORA AND SEB AND TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT THEM😭

@sunshine-goblin AAA THANK YOU!!! im honoured its your fav fanfic AND ALSO THE LONGEST YOUVE READ BAHAHAA fr, when you say its as long as four books in lotr it rly makes me realize how insane i am😃👍 aw IM GLAD I COULD INSPIRE YOU TO DRAW MORE AND WRITE AS WELL😭 I was curious so i creeped you and everyone go look at their HL blog @sunshines-legacy your MC is so cute and so is your art🥹💖 as for tips on writing a longfic and brainstorming and motivation and stuff, my motivation was my brainrot and unhappiness with the canon story/ending LMAOO, and looking at the story of the game and playing around with what i was unhappy with/what i WISHED could have happened instead, was a lot easier than just coming up with plotlines from scratch. but something i highly recommend is just OUTLINING and making a timeline, one of my fav parts of writing was just putting on some cafe ambience in the background and doing stream of conscious type word documents where id just barf ideas and then worry about making it pretty later....like look at how many versions of the same chapter i have BAHAHA or like different renditions bc i couldnt decide if id wanna keep a scene/what order, so id make a timeline and keep smoothing things out until i was happy with it and whatnot

brainstorming is defs my fav part of the process and the most helpful part to me. just getting a blank document and writing stuff you want to happen without worrying about how it connects to the story, and then a lot of the times as i was doing that id just keep going and it would kinda tie itself together/id come up with a solution as i was writing / once the ideas kept flowing. so basically : TIMELINES AND OUTLINES I VERY MUCH RECOMMEND, but very low pressure and barebones ones. for example, this is what my outlines/brainstorming look like

its honestly just me talking to myself LMAO, and a lot of the time ill interject and be like "OH YEAH AND THEN THIS CAN HAPPEN" as the ideas come while im writing BAHAHA. its a super fun process and honestly nothing feels better than just getting hit with that flash of inspo, and since its all very low effort theres no pressure to actually write well and its just a chill fun time AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR OWN PROCESS / WRITING💖💖💖it can be difficult but HOPE U HAVE FUN TOO💖💖

@a-little-lysdexic WAIT REALLY?? LMFAOO OMG THATS CRAZY....SAME BRAIN...🤝🤝...that would trip me up so much if i were you omg BAHHAHA but aside from having similar tastes in names, IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY ART AS WELL, TYY💖💖💖

THANK YOUUU im glad you're liking it!!! and that its taking over your life BAHAHA💖💖 the video you're thinking of was by @silverxstardust for chapter 13 of my fic, and you can watch the video here! (AND TY AGAIN TO SILVERXSTARDUST FOR DOING THIS!)

days since last had breakdown about the fact that I'm 31 and have only had an INTERVIEW for one (1) full-time job in my field- and it wasn't even in a part of my field that interests me -in seven years of looking: 0

Gravity falls au where bill convinces ford to keep working on the portal after fiddleford leaves by telling him a half truth that he only lied because his dimension is dying and he and his friends are scared and need a way out. Ford is sympathetic and agrees to help house them in his dimension and bill is like ‘heh. Idiot is too naive.’

When the day comes the portal opens bill and his henchmaniacs are ready to cause havoc but ford is there with food and shock blankets and he starts enthusiastically greeting them and talking about sleeping arangements in his living room, asking if any of them have food restrictions ect. And everyone is so taken off guard they’re tucked into sleeping bags in fords living room eating a warm meal before they can resist

Jesse would probably have the same reaction to Saga’s profiling as Tor or Odin, being able to directly communicate, which would lead to the best situation of both of them just staring into space while they’re silently and psychically communicating at random times

new mexico bertie wooster comes from a wealthy ranching family but has his primary residence in albuquerque (honestly i’m not sure 1920s albuquerque or even 2020s albuquerque would be enough city for bertie but it’s the best we’ve got). i feel like ranches could stand in for english country houses basically 1:1. jeeves keeps confiscating his horrifying bolo ties and cowboy boots. during thank you jeeves bertie decides his calling in life is to be a mariachi trumpet player and moves to santa fe. the white mess jacket is probably a poncho in horribly clashing colors
