[TWWWBAATTA 4]:
Okay so I’m trying the best I can (the best my ADHD brain is allowing) to get out chapter 4. I read and edit parts every night. But I’m in this little funk where I read a sentence. And it doesn’t sound right so I try it fix it. And then hate the fix more so I change it back to the original and I’m like oh that sounds better. UNTIL THE NEXT NIGHT. where the process repeats it self over and over.
It’s so goddamn frustrating because like any other writer I want it to be the best it can be. But like Christ dude when do you just know when to stop and leave it as is.
Bottom line is I’m trying to get it out as soon as I can and I hate making y’all wait.
#i hate being a perfectionist#it makes wait times so much longer and it’s already been 2 months#like I’m AWARE it’s been a while#but then also IRL shit like my job are about to get HELLLLAAA busy next week#(I work 9 of the next 11 days)#so I have to also make sure I rest and don’t burn out because our busiest day of the year is next week#yoon on writing#all writers struggle#yoons ramblings

Guys.. Stan canonically writes fanfiction, presumably posting it to ao3.. I bet that man has got the ultimate author's curse notes
"Sorry I'm late to update guys! Got arrested by the federal government for stealing materials from them to rebuild an interdimensional portal to save my long lost twin brother! But hopefully things will be more consistent now that I'm done saving him!"
"My bad for this being so rushed, currently living through the literal apacolypse!"
"Didn't mean for this too take so long y'all, had to reread the whole fic to refresh my memory after getting my brain wiped to kill the demon who used to date my brother, y'all know how it is!"

It's kind of annoying (and weird) how DC keeps trying to rewrite how Jason and Bruce met to paint Bruce in a worst light.
Originally, Batman finds Jason stealing the Batmobile's tires, the kid runs away, and Batman finds him. Discovering the kid is homeless, he gives him to the authority and Jason finishes at Ma Gunn's school. Ma Gunn is actually teaching the kids to be gang members, so Jason tells Batman. Together, they win again Ma Gunn, and Bruce takes Jason in because he sees himself in him.

Well, in Nightwing: Year One, they change it for "Batman kidnapped Jason when he found him stealing his tires and forces him to become Robin", with Jason ATTACHED AND GAGGED in the batcave. (I like this comic except for that because wtf)
In Red Hood and The Outlaws (2011), they changed it for "Jason stole drugs from Leslie and Batman was ready to beat and throw a young teen in jail, but Leslie begged him to give him a chance", which again, wtf. Batman beating up a child. Okay.
In Red Hood and The Outlaws (2016), they changed it for "Bruce put Jason in Ma Gunn's school because he couldn't handle him after taking him in". The only good addition they made is "when Batman caught Jason stealing his tires, he bought him food".
I do not understand why they need to make him awful to this 12 years old so bad. What do they want to make it as if Bruce forced that life on Jason but also didn't want to deal with him. Why they cannot let it as it is, with Bruce having fun dealing with this lil shit that stole his tires and being there for him when he needs him later on, until he finally craves and takes Jason home.
And that's why I am so critical on how Batman and Bruce is written in Nightwing and Red Hood stories, because the writers are incapable to make their main character have conflict with Bruce, without changing his character and their story to make him abusive. They need him to be the bad guy of Jason's, and sometimes Dick's, story because they don't know how to make you side and care for their character without making the other side a monster.
#bruce wayne#batman#jason todd#robin#dick grayson#nightwing#dc comics#my ramblings#that's how you get Jason's fans that believe Bruce doesn't care or help the people struggling and Crime Alley#and doesn't understand this world which is NOT TRUE AT ALL#Bruce understands that people coming crimes because of their circonstances and he wants children to get the help their need#he literally has a breakdown in Gotham Knights because he refuses to believe a kid could kill his own parents#and after he talks about helping the kid he doesn’t even view this kid as a criminal because it's a kid#Jason's writers stop making Bruce treats him like trash challenge impossible#including Nightwing because they fucking love to write Bruce hitting Dick in Nightwing for some reasons

no offense because i love this band but cigarette after sex’s discography is proof that if you write the same theme enough times, people will call it iconic instead of repetitive. meanwhile, my manuscript gets side-eyed because i reused the word “glistened” twice in one chapter.

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#Jason Todd#batfamily#it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works#like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over#i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin#and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well#duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd#(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read#went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems#point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam#but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it#jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog#damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH#speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro#wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

It's been a few weeks since Tommy finally cracked and went and spoke to Evan and the pair managed to actually communicate.
And the last few weeks have been heavy, lots of talking, there's been tears and mini arguments as they both valiantly tried to finally make the other understand where they were coming from. But it's been good too, they both want to make this work, extracting promises to always talk in the future before running away or jumping five steps ahead.
But there's also been quiet times where they just soak up each others presence in a way neither of them can get enough. As if they can make up for those missing months by pure osmosis.
Tonight's one of those nights where they're trying to reconnect with each other, on this journey they're on to finally get to know eachother. They'd ordered takeout and were now tangled up together on the couch whilst some romcom played on the TV in the background. Not that they're really paying attention to the TV, preferring to switch between lazy makeouts that neither are really trying to get to lead anywhere anytime soon; and just staring into each others eyes, sometimes murmering gentle conversation.
'You know,' Evan starts, when he pulls aways from another lazy kiss, 'the 118 were surprising good at never letting me know.'
This just confuses Tommy, but by now he is more than used to being behind in the conversation as he knows that whenever Evan speaks, there's a trail of mental gymnastics happening silently inside his head before he ever speaks out loud. It impresses Tommy whenever Evan explains to him all the different jumps he makes to connect two subjects. He wishes sometimes he could climb inside Evan's mind and truly experience it.
''What do you mean, sweetheart?' He probes when it doesn't seem like Evan was going to clarify.
Evan shifts a bit to lean his back against Tommy's chest and reaches for one of his hands to fiddle with his fingers. 'You know, when we were broken up, they would never let on when they had seen you. Your name went from being one of the most popular topics of conversation to basically taboo.' He elaborates with a laugh.
But his new position meant he could feel more than see Tommy freeze and tense up at his words. Evan turned his head back so he could see his boyfriend's face and frowned at the look upon it. 'What is it?'
'Evan...' Tommy started, hesitantly. 'What makes you think any of the 118 saw me when we were broken up?'
This caused Evan to fully shift back around so they were facing eachother again, he out a hand on Tommy's chest, half for balance and half to ground himself in the other man. 'What do you mean?'
'Well, I'm pretty sure I was their public enemy number one,' Tommy explained softly, bringing a hand up to stroke one of Evan's curls, 'Not that I blame them of course.'
This only caused the frown lines on Eva 's face to deepen. 'B-but you were friends with all of them before we even got together the first time. Chimney never shut up about how glad he was to properly reconnect with you past a phonecall every few years. And I basically had to share custody of you with Eddie!'
Tommy smiled softly, leaning up to press a comforting kiss against Evan's birthmark. 'That's true, but then I went and broke their brother's heart.'
'You were just trying to protect your own heart!.' Evan defended him fiercely, causing Tommy to chuckle. He loved how far they'd come in understanding and forgiving each other.
'Yes, but they didn't know that sweetheart.'
Evan deflated, sinking all of his weight onto Tommy. 'They really stopped doing things with you?'
'I would cut ties with anyone that hurt you like that too, Evan. I'm just eternally grateful that you gave me a second chance.' He leaned in to give him a proper kiss, hoping to distract Evan from the topic of conversation.
It only worked for a few seconds before Evan was shooting up, indignant all over again. 'Please say they at least texted you to check in on how you were coping?'
'Evan, I-' Tommy sighed, struggling to find the words to calm Evan down, not wanting to further incriminate their friends, but also not wanting to lie.
Evan could read what Tommy wasn't saying and before he could stop him Evan was off the couch and storming towards the door. 'Babe! Wait, where are you going?'
'I am going to give them a piece of my mind. They spent weeks eating my baked goods and telling me not to call you, and they couldn't even pick up the phone to check on you!?' Evan was practically seething at this point.
Moving quickly, Tommy met Evan at the door, stopping him from where he was angrily trying to shove on a jacket. 'Sweetheart, it's 11pm at night, I don't think waking them up from sleep to shout at them for being on your side is going to do much good. They were just trying to look out for you the best way they knew how.'
'Yeah, well who was on your side Tommy? You deserved to have someone looking out for you too.' Evan exploded, heated.
Tommy grabbed Evan by the hips and pulled him in close, hugging him until he could feel Evan start to calm. 'Well, luckily, I have you to look out for me. And I'm not going to be foolish enough to give that up ever again.'
His words were enough to finally have Evan fully relax into Tommy's arms. 'Well good, because I'm never letting you give it up again, either.' He sighed, before quietly continuing; 'I'm just disappointed that they didn't also look out for you. I thought they were better than that.'
'They're your family, Evan. They acted out of love for you, they didn't owe me anything.'
'Bullshit, you are their family now too, and they best never forget that again.' Evan grumbled, his face pressed into Tommy's neck.
Evan smiled coyly, before waggling his eyebrows, 'I did defend you pretty hard. It's going to take a lot to show me how really grateful you are.'
'How about you hold off on their lectures for now, and let me take you to bed.' Tommy proposed, tilting his head back so Evan could see his face. 'You could let me show you how grateful I am to have you as my biggest defender.'
'Hmmm, let me try,' was Tommy's reply before he took Evan's lips in his own, this kiss considerably more passionate than the ones they had been exchanging on the couch earlier on. If Tommy had his way, he'd never stop trying his best to show Evan just how eternally grateful he is to have him by his side.
#bucktommy#tevan#ficlet#evan buck buckely#tommy kinard#i am soso so not a writer that im surprised im even posting this especially with so much dialogue which is the part i struggle the most with#but this idea jumped into my head so i thought why not write it down#for rhe record: i lvoe the 118 i just hated the advice of dont call tommy#because all the boys need to do is communicate#also this is not proof read at all so very sorry for any errors

jack at the democratic national convention in chicago, illinois. august 1956.
this moment needs to be huge in the jfk netflix series (if it ever happens, that is) because it’s when jack — as a political figure — went beyond the senate halls, beyond massachusetts in the public eye. it’s when he went national. despite the inevitable chaos and defeat of not winning the vice presidential nomination, this moment set him right on the presidential path. and the most important detail in all of this was that it wasn’t planned.
and because of that one detail, this event could make for such an iconic episode. the culmination of it all. the emotion. the drama occurring behind the scenes: joe senior yelling at jack and bobby through the phone and telling them that they have absolutely ruined jfk’s political future which the audience would find incredibly ironic, then the quick, neurotic, almost thrilling pace of bobby and jack trying to gain enough delegates for the vp nomination, jack and jackie’s relationship being on the rocks like never before bc of cheating allegations on BOTH sides (and the divide is unfortunately only exacerbated soon after)
but what would make the episode really shine, especially in a jfk centered series, is that aside from this moment being a monumental event in jfk’s political career, it would also work as a moving force within jfk’s emotional development in the show and demonstrate his state of mind at the time. somewhat fragile but within that fragility, a tough determination moving at high speed, impossible to break.
this spur-of-the-moment decision he made to try and obtain the vice presidential nomination stemmed from jfk’s near death experience in one of the harshest surgeries he’d ever faced. he always put on a good face, but as many biographers have pointed out, genuine fear always resided beneath the smiles and witticisms. two siblings had already died on jack and this time around, it was him that almost didn’t make it — that’s when it became all or nothing for him. and instead of his instincts backfiring on him like his father expected them to, they pushed him onto the political national stage; a stage that would be waiting for him when 1960 rolled around.
#1956 jack had his faults but he also just needed a hug. a hug he would not accept but a hug nonetheless.#i also think that he was still grieving over kick and joe but in a way he couldn’t let himself acknowledge at the time#anyway. i need to be in that writer’s room. please. Pleek….#don’t underestimate john f kennedy!#god he really was such a force… of course he was the youngest president ever. and still is. no one had his stamina.#or his fortitude!#like this man was working so hard amidst all of that chronic pain that he was fainting in the streets! and then kept on pushing!#i’m in awe of him like he just never stopped and never let his struggles dissuade him anything#jfk#jack kennedy#kennedy for your thoughts#john f kennedy#kennedys#the kennedy family#kennedy media#… sort of?#the kennedy’s

Calm before the storm [Wavering Lies!AU]
After having faced the first half of his sentence, Shadow Milk Cookie reflects on what transpired days prior. Alone with only himself, his confinements, and his thoughts.
This, unfortunately for the beast, is not bound to last for long.
clank…clank…clank
Absentmindedly, the captive beast would play around with his restraints, letting the chains keeping his wrists close to one another clash together repeatedly.
It had been a few days after his capture, he still recalled everything. The fight, the unfair odds against him, the sheer luck those crumbs had been blessed with…and his embarassing defeat.
What happened after? A good chunk of it, he didn't recall. He was down for who knows how long before waking back up in a cell similiar to the one he was currently held in.
The past week? Went by quickly, in all honesty. He remembered his multiple attempts to break out during those council meetings, back when he still had all of his power…
…back when that MAT hadn't convinced everyone to forcefully snatch it away from him.
Now? He had been sentenced to a seal. No, not like that rotten old tree..but somehow just as, if not WORSE that it. Thanks to it, he couldn't accest his power, he couldn't shapeshift NOR summor anything. He couldn't access his other-realm anymore…he just
couldn't
do
ANYTHING.
He HATED it.
The beast would look at his hands, then at his wrists..before violently yanking his whole body forward in frustration.
His magic was like a part of him, something he had since his baking. It felt just as important as lifepowder to a beast, it was part of him. A component now crudely ripped out of his dough.
Without it he felt severely impaired. So…weak. Frail. Defenseless..
He never wanted this, it was the worst kind of dreadful….
HE HATED IT
He'd yerk forward once more, at full force…but to no avail. To ensure his stay, those rotten pests had put him in chains. CHAINS! Around his legs, his neck, and his wrists…the last he dreaded he most, considering those restraints served two functions.
That of keeping him here AND prohibiting his access to magic.
He felt like he was some sort of cakehound.
However, before he could thrash a third time in frustration, the beast would be alerted by some chattering outside of his cell door. At this hour? How strange…
The noise seemingly came from two or three cookies conversating…one voice was freakishly familiar.
it was HIM..
"Oh no no, I'd rather be alone this time. Thank you for the offer."
Soon, he'd hear two of the figures leave, signaled by faint footsteps growing farther and farther..
..next, someone would turn the key to his cell door, which would would creak open, bringing with it that dreaded confirmation.
He stiffened, narrowing his eyes at the figure.
That THIEF.
..___________________..
"..Shadow Milk Cookie."
The beast would look up, stiffing his posture at the one before him.
"What do you want?"
He'd bark out, irritated. Pure Vanilla knew the reason why.
"I just wanted to pay you a visit."
The ancient carefully closed the door behind him, stuffing out the noise coming from the outside all over again.
"How are you faring?"
No response.
"..hm, I see."
He'd walk closer, before searching for something inside his cape. Pure Vanilla would then find what he had been looking for after a small struggle, and would pull out something from a small pouch.
The sweet, easily recognizable smell would manage to catch his predecessor's attention. That frown remained…yet his eyes quickly locked on the unexpected "gift".
A small victory for the healer.
"I've brought some jellies with me, would you like any?"
Holding one of his hands out, he'd offer a few to the cookie of deceit…He might have been hungry, he figured.
He only recieved a glare.
"…I suppose not."
The healer would retreat his hand, putting back those few jellies in that pouch.
Tension was only rising the more they stayed inside, just the two of them.
Usually, Shadow Milk was notorious for his chatter. It was an aspect Pure Vanilla's been told about many, many times during the week he'd spent imprisoned in the republic. Outside of council meetings the jester's behaviour would have been reported many, many times as well. Mostly by guards venting out their frustrations with him.
Now, the atmosphere was much much different. Both had fallen silent for a good while until the ancient decided to resume their one sided "discussion"
is there an--"
"Shut up."
Though it seemed Shadow Milk wanted to hear none of it.
"…just answer my question, and scram. I don't want to be interrogated by the likes of you."
The beast bared his teeth, his words oozing pure hatred and venom from each and every letter.
With his magic gone, Pure Vanilla figured anyone wold be upset. But this had to be done to ensure everyone was safe. He didn't want to risk the lives of many by letting a beast loose.
He'd sigh, turning to the ground.
"Well….I was wondering if you'd reconsider my proposal."
No response.
He'd turn to Shadow Milk's face, returning his stare.
"Do you still want to keep this incessant fighting…or would you rather settle this once and for all?"
The beast looked at him, then at his souljam, and then back to the ancient. His eyes widening as he'd repeat his words.
"….once and for all..
you…
…YOU!!!--"
After a beat of silence, Shadow Milk sent him glare. And thightly clenched his fists. Shaking in sheer fury, he'd start stomping his feet to the ground, immediately rejecting his successor's offer…just like he'd done many times prior.
"HOW DARE YOU!!"
He'd spat, violently yanking the chains holding him in place.
"DO YOU REALLY THINK I'D ACCEPT YOUR PATHETIC TRICKS? YOU…YOU TOOK MY EVERYTHING! My other-realm, MY SOULJAM!"
Pure Vanilla frowned, retreating his hand..but not faltering in front of the beast.
Deep down, he doubted Shadow Milk really regretted any of his actions. That was certain. The way he boasted and congratulated himself for his victories, how prideful it made him..deception never really left this cookie, but meaning surely did. This scene before him was…sad, dare he say even pitiful.
However, it wasn't his turn to talk just yet.
That cookie of deciet, depowered and weak, had only paused to catch his breath. In fact, he still had the energy for more crude, unfiltered jabs at his successor.
He grit his teeth, glaring at the ancient in fury.
"And still..you weren't done tormenting me, oh no no no.. You still stole the last bit of freedom I had left! All that was ME ..my POWER, MY STRENGHT!! YOU.. YOU FRAUD!!!"
The sound of his furious yelling and clattering bindings would echo around the room, yet still failed to convey the full extent of the ex-virtue's thrashing. With all of his might, he'd push himself forward twice, as if trying to yank his body right in Pure Vanilla's direction. If he wasn't binded, he'd probably lunge at him.
Pure Vanilla didn't waver, and waited as the beast tried again and again to free himself. To somehow break those chains and get back his seized freedom.
The healer observed as he gradually started to tire out, his wild yanks growing weaker and weaker…until he nearly fell over, fatigued. With his head hanging low, that cookie would tremble and panting in exhaustion. The concept of not having that revoked power, the power to break free with little to no difficulty still appeared alien to the beast.
"Once I get it back….you'll wish to have crumbled in my spire."
Despite everything, Shadow Milk still kept stubborn. He forced his head up, to look back at the ancient.
"Mark.
My.
WORDS."
Immediately after that one final threat, he'd collapse to his knees. In silence, he only kept trembling and breathing heavily. Clearly impaired by the lack of remaining energy to yell at his successor.
The ancient's gaze would soften.
"Stop overexerting yourself, Shadow Milk. You're tired. You'll risk hurting yourself that way."
Without hesitance, Pure Vanilla would step towards the restrained beast. The space between the two of them growing smaller.
He'd glance at him, with a glimpse of sympathy in his eyes..before shaking his head to finally speak the truth. His truth.
"I'm not trying to force you into a friendship, Shadow Milk. We still have our…differences. For the time being, I believe it wouldn't work out. We both, for our own reasons, are not yet ready…. but-"
He'd look away, facing the entrance to that cell. It felt much, much more distant than when he first entered…but he wouldn't care. He was here for a reason, and that reason was to try and talk. To fully understand what caused Shadow Milk's fall. To fully understand why he was so…lost compared to when he'd last seen him.
Just what transpired after he left?
"-- if we could stop this…constant back and forth, even just for a short while then.."
He'd take another step, closing the large gap between them just a little more.
Turning around, Pure Vanilla placed one hand on the bottom of his souljam's brooch. His gaze directed towards the item for a moment…before going back to the chained beast.
"…I could show you a better way. I want to show you a better way. A way that doesn't give short-term glee and satisfaction, or a short-lived escape…but true, long-term fulfillment."
He opened his eyes.
"This is why I've offered you my friendship."
He'd take another step. Determined.
"We don't have to fight forever, we don't have to clash against eachother. War, revenge…it doesn't bring long term happyness."
The beast didn't respond. He didn't, in fact, even try to look at him. And only kept facing the ground troughout his entire speech. His expression? Unreadable..
..until he'd crack a smile..
"…he…ha ha…. hahahaha.. "
Before Pure Vanilla was able to question him, he'd be interrupted by a burst of laughter.
".. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! YOU HYPOCRITE!"
Shadow Milk would lift his head back up, still on his knees, and now with the word amusement plastered on his face. He'd keep giggling uncontrollably, driven to the point of tears by the sheer hilarity of what he'd just heard.
As he'd recollect himself, the jester would manage to wipe a tear with one of his restrained hands. A newfound grin plastered on his face.
"Do you really think anyone would believe you? If revenge brings "nothing but emptiness" …then I wouldn't even BE here! In fact, I wasn't even doing anything wrong!"
Pure Vanilla would narrow his eyes and shake his head. No, he didn't share the same sentiment.
"You've still harmed cookies, and that brings consequences. Even with understanding, those actions aren't justified."
The ancient spoke from his heart..yet the beast didn't seem to care, as per usual.
His smile dropped a little, and he'd glare at the healer.
If anything, all he seemed interested in doing was wearing down his will. And so, he'd make another attempt to do just that.
"Deep down, I know what you are. I can tell how much fear my mere presence instills in you, it is glaringly obvious! I bet you even have.. GASP n-n-n-n-nightmares? Oh you poor, poor thing. Otherwise, why would you sentence me to this?..Justice? Safety? HA! How utterly HILARIOUS."
He'd only keep going, just as his target kept not giving him the reaction he wanted.
"This idea of friendship you have is merely a ploy to get what you want, selfishness masked as selflessness…easy-peasy! Out of everyone, do you really expect me to fall for that? pfft.. HA HA HA HA HA!!
…You truthly are pathetic."
Afterwards, the room would fall in complete and utter silence once more. Both parties stared at eachother, undoubtedly, with no victory or loss. If anything, they'd reached not a conclusion..but rather a stalemate.
Pure Vanilla took the next move.
"…very well then."
Shadow Milk would jerk back, confused.
"what?"
He'd move back a bit, giving the weakened beast some space before taking on a more formal demenor.
"I'm here to tell you something else. Other cookies refused to come…so I've volunteered to do so instead."
He'd move a hand on his mouth, to clear his throat before continuing.
"Tomorrow, you will be allowed outside…that is, without magic and under supervision, to ensure no one is hurt. These are the terms decided by the council."
Having informed that cookie, his duty was done, and Pure Vanilla would turn to start walking back towards the cell door. He'd gently open it, a soft creaking echoing trough the room.
Before leaving, he looked back at Shadow Milk for one last time.
"..if you want to change your mind one day, my offer still stands."
He recieved only a scoff...and a possible warning in response.
"Tch, you're just being delusional."
Of course, he'd expect the beast to still refuse his proposal. It was, arguably, predictable…but he woudn't give up just yet.
He gave him one small smile before closing the door behind him.
"..goodnight."

🌊TUNA-TOBER🌊 PROMPT CHALLENGE 2024 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Hello friends! So last month I realized that one of the reasons I'm struggling to get my writing back up to my old speed is I am seriously out of practice since Dec/Jan when shit went down and I stopped writing for a while. After some thought, I decided I was gonna set up a little prompt challenge for myself, just a general, 'here's a prompt a day' thing for about a month. And I tossed this idea out onto my fave Daredevil discord server to see if anyone would want to join. And I'm happy to say there were takers, including some of my favorite writers in the fandom! So I've set up a delicious prompt challenge for all of us, and for anyone else who wants to take part.
For each day in October, there are three prompts: an 🌧️angst/whump prompt🌧️, a 🌻fluff prompt🌻, and a 🔥kink prompt🔥. Participants are free to choose which one of the prompts they want to write or make art of, or they can try to incorporate two, or even all three prompts into a single fic or art piece. They can write a short fic/make art every day, or just on whichever days they feel like (personally I'm going to shoot for one fic a day, but we'll see), or even incorporate those prompts into the chapters of longer fics. There are also four 'backup' prompt options for each category in case anyone hits a day or prompt where they aren't really feeling what's available on the chosen day. If any of these prompts inspire you, you can feel free to take on the Tuna-Tober challenge even if you're not in the server! This challenge is also not fandom-specific (although I have a feeling I'm mostly gonna write Charlie Cox characters, a surprise to precisely zero people, but again, we'll see).
Sometime this week, I'll be setting up a sideblog specifically for Tuna-Tober. That sideblog blog will reblog any Tuna-Tober fics/art or link to those fics that are posted on Ao3 so they'll all be easy to find. That blog will also have instructions for how to tag your Tuna-Tober fics and/or art pieces. If you'd like to be notified when that sideblog is up so you can follow it, let me know in the comments.
Without further ado: our Tuna-Tober prompts!

When I plan my story down to the smallest detail, create a super complex worldbuilding and even invent a new language with its own writing system, also I map out the whole history of every random village and plan the backstory of every side character that appears for maybe half a minute…
…and never start to actually write it.
(Please tell me I'm not the only one whose story planning looks like this)
#either this or the other extreme#I also love writing without planning at all#and suddenly#I'm at that point where I have no clue how the story could continue#writing#writers#writing stuff#creative writing#writer stuff#writer thoughts#writing humor#writing problems#writing struggles#writer things

#my art#self portrait of sorts#been musing a lot on disability recently and how being relatively freshly unable to do Most Things has changed my perspective on things#for a long time growing up i was fixated on the idea of being An Impact On The World yknow? mainly the next Big Writer#(and that it would be sooo impressive that everyone would make my books bestsellers when i was only 12 because it was That Good)#and i mean. obviously that didnt work out as originally planned because i was 12 and learning. but I've felt a lot like#I've kind of built my sense of self on those big achievements. even if they were only big to me. and a lot of them#are now out of reach or very difficult to reach. and it's been a lot to. recontextualize#to take what ive been told my whole life and ignore it in favor of just being being enough.#things will happen as they happen. i havent earned anything by suffering but it hasnt ended the world either#im here doing what i Can do for as long as I'm able to do it. and thats all i need to be for now#just making sure that i Do do the things i can do rather than assume i can do them later#anyways. love you#cw:#top nudity#artistic nudity#the dreaded ambiguously presenting nipple#if you put any pro weight loss eating disorder shit on here ill kill you btw#my body is sexy because im in it and im still alive. not because its struggling to stay that way#lindwormposting
