#and i think that's brilliant when writing some side emeto/whump content to your own vanilla

[bellysoupset]

Heyyy Soup, since you are answering questions - I hope you are doing well! - would you mind sharing the secret of how do you make a vanilla story after writing so much for ehmm for this community stuff? Like since writing here I have written more than ever before, which is great, but where is my vanilla stuff🙈 I want to be able to do that too, but the damn emeto/suffering aspect can't seem to stay out of any chapter! If this is a weird/uncomfy question, just ignore me, darling. @writing-whump

Hi Sol!! How are you?

God this is something I struggled with for so long!! Every time I'd get involved in a vanilla story/fic, I'd slowly wanna bring in emeto and would start angsting over it.

Eventually though, I think what helped was this blog. Probably one of the big reasons why I write so much is that every time I feel the urge to include emeto in my vanilla writing, I come here and channel that into the Dumbasses. Some fics don't even see the light of day, its just so I'll get rid of the desire of writing it.

I doooo think there's a fine line to thread in vanilla and that we can dance it. As in, physical whump (injuries and emotional whump) is super widespread and accepted within the vanilla writing community. So I really don't mind dabbling into that. Besides, some emeto I think is fine? I mean, Stephen K1ng is out there writing puke in every story and, although many people have put together he's probably an emetophile, he's no less respected because of this.

Not only this, I think the urge also goes both ways. Sometimes I tend to get a little carried away, but I have learned to identify when I start writing too much vanilla here as well! And how to channel that in the actual vanilla I'm writing elsewhere.

(In my case having a song that I heavily link to my vanilla writing in the background helps me get into that mindset, lowkey pavloving myself here 🙈)
