#and actually make me self-reflect

[primewritessmut]

H, K, N, T, and W <3

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff?

Oof. Um? Idk that I care so much about the source material as I do about the characters. I can make any source material work if I’m obsessed enough.

That being said, I like the vaguer boundaries (for lack of a better word) around movies and comics. There’s a lot more room to play with a characters internal life and thoughts bc those things aren’t as clear in a more visual medium like a movie or comic. Shaping that for an existing character is probably the closest I’ll ever get to writing an OC.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

You know I’m going to say Loki bc you got me hooked in the show. And Mobius, too. I think they’re sort of inverse arcs. Loki finds his purpose and Mobius loses his, and it’s so well-done and tragic and fascinating.

Also, I read a veritable fuckton of books and I know I’ve read some amazing character arcs in those but they tend to blur together. The one that sticks out to me rn is Evemer in A Touch of Gold and Iron bc it’s a FANTASTIC representation of “enemies” to “I worship you, I would die for you, use me like an attack dog” and I know you know how much I love that.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of your choice).

(1) More deeply considered kink scenes. This applies to most fandoms I’m a part of, I think. You and I have talked about this a lot. I just… I get tired of reading kink relationships that are just some iteration of a submissive wet hole versus dominant fuck machine. Like yeah, okay, I read smut for the smut but also the relationship. Call me a romantic or whatever, I guess.

(2) Eddie grappling with the symbiote’s need to eat brains. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I feel like it gets left out of fic a lot. For obvious reasons, probably. If you’re writing about a guy getting dicked down by his alien goo parasite maybe you don’t want to deal with the in-world consequences of all that entails. But I think it’s really rich soil to dig through and I wish more fics did it.

(3) Smut scenes that aren’t just penetrative sex. Not every likes or wants penetrative sex. Or has penetrative sex every time they fuck. What can I say? I like a variety.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

That I would die for? Yeesh. I think Peter is a lot angrier than people let him be or give him credit for. Wade enjoys his job and would be sad (not to mention a massive fucking nuisance) if he gave it up. The body horror of both Venom and Deadpool are an integral part of their characters. (Damn. I should have put that in my above answer.)

But would I die for those? Maybe the body horror one. You know how much I love body horror.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Teacher/student. (And usually boss/Secretary or employee.) I’m not going to get into why just, BLECH. No thank you. Next.

there's nothing orym would ask of the other hells that he wouldn't do himself, which is sort of the problem, really

Video by shesasolarbeing on Insta cause apparently unlike TikTok they don't like putting watermarks for their creators. Go check them out!

Friend sent me this and my first thought was @kianamaiart 's magical girl series. Or rather, AIKA REAL??!?1?!1

[uncanny-tranny]

I hold so much love to the people for whom trauma has seeped away their perspective of time - warping and distorting it to where one can't feel time passing. Everything is moving simultaneously too slow and too fast - everything is a blur, and the only constant is the Trauma/s or trauma/s. You aren't just "you" anymore, but you are you and your trauma, and together, for better or worse, you walk as one.

I hope you are well, dear reader. May you find peace between yourself and the things that have happened. May you be permitted to feel everything you feel, for nothing is wrong with how you feel. I hope you grant yourself the space to be, that you may be able to do that because it's hard.

went to bed last night feeling that it was finally time to step back and let the dust settle and try to get things back to normal and then woke up to all that

[pinkravat-art]

i love it when comedians make media that is not strictly A Comedy. music, dramas, podcasts, whatever. they have such a way with words and the comedy bleeds into whatever they make. It's my favourite thing ever.

please gimme your faves, i want to know more writers like this

[prince-liest]

stopping by once again to say i am enamored with where you've taken the 666 series. BRO TRANS VOX🙏🙏 one of your prev anons made me realize why ive been so arjfhfjjxhfjf about your portrayal of vox's identity like. it resonates with me so deeply (as in it isnt something he generally thinks about/wants to be an integral part of the persona he presents to other people). AND your exploration of al's asexuality is hitting a little too close to home as well. not sure if it's possible to put a spot on my kinlist for ONLY your 666 specific characterizations of these two

anyways sorry to ramble, very excited for the next update!!!

Ahahaha, I'm really glad it's resonated with you! I think there are just about as many different ways to be as there are people, and the dominant narrative that we tend to see online, while super valid, isn't necessarily always the most comfortable one for everyone! That's part of the fun of exploring different characters for me, especially when it comes to personal identity and how one feels about oneself.

Anyway, that's all to say: thank you! I'm very invested in trans Vox and I'm absolutely delighted that you're enjoying both him and Alastor's aroace experiences, and how both of those things intersect with them being, uh, absolutely deranged individuals, pfft.

did anyone think about kid keith td🙂 do u want to🙂

Re: your mental health comic - I hope, if any of those characters are based on real hallucinations youve had, that you don't have them anymore. You're a good person who doesn't deserve to be talked to like that.

(Referencing this or this post, I’m not sure which)

Thank you so much for your kind words! The characters in those works are representations of actual hallucinations I’ve experienced. They were real nasty pieces of work, but I haven’t actually hallucinated one in a severe enough manner to talk to them in about… Shoot. Hang on, I need to think… 5-ish years now? I think? And the last time I did, I heard a brief sentence before I took some heavy-duty meds that knocked me out and took care of the hallucination by the time I woke up. I’ve gone through a lot of growth between now and then, and I’m now in a place where the only lasting legacy those losers have had is making me very good at abstract descriptions + personifications and self-reflection. Their cruel words are fuzzy and vague things that I barely remember.

Heck, I went through some old notes to remember some nicknames I gave them, and it was a blast from the past that I actually laughed at! They actually called me “less than worthless” to the point I internalized and verbalized it many times? Wow. That’s pretty cringe, guys. You spent your entire lives bullying a teenager. Cool. Now I love myself and forgot that was ever a mantra I recited at all times in my head.

I once had a project I was working on where I made a fictionalized autobiography set in a fantasy world starring a self-insert and these jokers. It was going to be a kind of field guide to hallucinations I experienced. I stopped working on it after a while because it was too painful for me to develop, as it was meant to dig deep into the pain and struggles I went through on a daily basis… and now I’m looking back at it and considering making it a humorous story about how ridiculous my hallucinations were— at least the ones with consistent personalities. Comedy equals tragedy plus time, truly.

I might end up posting some of the more solemn journal comics I made about these chuckleheads... It'd be weird to dig up my significantly older work, but I think it would do me some good and maybe be enjoyable / educational for others!

also no offense to me from a month ago (and two months ago and a year ago and maybe also two years ago and and) who thought everything in her life was going to be the death of her but actually. life is good. and i'm having a pretty nice time right now

[idontmindifuforgetme]

your opinion on journaling?

I actually don’t think I would function without it. If anyone thinks that journaling has to be this pretty, elaborate process, just know that’s a misconception. Sometimes journaling just equates to a healthy outlet through which you can let your feelings loose. Ofc I’m also all for pretty scrapbooks and things of that nature (I really do wanna start a scrapbook myself). But there are so many times where not journaling for an amount of time actually stunted my growth & had me reaching an emotional ceiling.

I will say, one thing people don’t talk about is there is such a thing as journaling too much. Not every moment has to be reflected on and dissected in a journal entry. That’s where the problem of being too self-aware comes from—ultimately resulting in you losing your in-the-moment mindfulness. So what I would recommend (and am working on myself) is finding that balance of living in the moment & not immediately overanalyzing it.

@lemon-embalmer I need you to know that these tags made me laugh out loud. best most succinct description of her character in the world

[hearditinapastlife2019]

maturing is realizing therapy can only take you so far & that in order to really heal you need to participate in the world and let yourself love & be loved again. sorry.
