#blabbing about fic

[maingh0st]

coming to the realization that i think i just.... made up the bit about salt stinging for the Folk?? i could've sworn that was somewhere in tfota, but upon review (and upon reading Kaye just. fully diving into the ocean in tithe), i can't find evidence for it anywhere

i guess my brain said "salt undoes glamour/ repels magic and is therefore unpleasant to the touch for fae" and i ran with that for fic. and you know what? i like it

[magic-owl]

I don’t believe in gatekeeping at all but if you flat out admit to me that you’ve consumed little to ZERO of the canon media and have gotten all of your information based off of reading fluffy fic with woobified characters, I will not be taking ANY of your fandom opinions or meta seriously

[blabberoo]

Do you think Theraprism would bring back certain memories to Bill of his "eye treatment" back at Euclydia?

[thychesters]

i keep picking this up and running my fingers across it and flipping through the pages. putting it down. picking it back up again and flipping through it. gyro your talents are immeasurable and know no bounds and i loved taking a peek behind the scenes and learning about your process; the amount of effort and care is tangible, and i cannot believe i get to hold this in my hands—this is my writing! i can flip through the pages! the art and the colors are incredible and i love how you worked them in, love this.

this is truly an incredible gift and i’m so honored and so grateful. @swordsmans you are so amazing and so talented and i adore the colors and i know you know it’s one of my favorite color schemes, haha. and @fluffyartbl0g’s art is there too! this is such a delight, thank you so much ✨

The only part of this drawing i wasnt sleep deprived for was the background and i did so great with it. This is what good sleep does to someone - good background!

A gift for @theseusmc for @mcytblr-fluff-exchange :D! Sorry that this was cutting it so close to the end lmao but i hope it's worth it! Really like what i did with scott i think he looks great

Stay with me here but I think I just had a realization about Wukong.

I think Wukong's biggest weakness as a mentor isn't his overwhelming lack of proper communication/"just swallow your trauma lol you'll be okay if we just don't think about it"-- but instead it's that he doesn't believe in teamwork-- which is the exact opposite of how Pigsy (and Tang) raised MK, and is probably why he hates that monkey so damn much

Pigsy, Tang, and MK have all said "there's nothing we can't do together", leading me to believe it's some kind of family motto/philosophy they all share, but Wukong would rather zip MK up the mountain so that they aren't bogged down by the rest of the group (maybe because he believes, like with most problems, only he can help).

But isolation makes MK weaker and more anxious because he truly relies on his friends and family for everything (bro has never defeated a villain by himself lmao)-- but Wukong doesn't understand this bc he's so used to being so goddamn overpowered that he's never really had to rely on others (and/or when he has, it doesn't end well/he ends up handling it anyways), and he (probably accidentally) drives this into MK's own head, despite it not being the same.

tl;dr MK's habit of isolation (especially when it comes to his self-sacrificial desires) is low key Wukong's fault because Wukong doesn't know how to rely on others and has accidentally overridden MK's childhood teachings (which is also why Pigsy has so much beef with that monkey maybe)

~Lucifer blanches. He looks around, as if trying to find a sense of Alastor’s words somewhere in the trash-heap he calls a room, before rounding back to him, lips pulling up in disgust. “Are you asking me out?”

“Ahaha!” Alastor laughs, slapping him so hard on the back it nearly takes Lucifer off his feet. “Oh, Heavens no. I’m just proposing we let Hell continue thinking that you and I are,” he waves his hand, searching for the word, “in cahoots. In that way.”~

This is golden comedy right here. Honestly every time I read ur fic I always start wheezing so hard I can’t breathe, u are an amazing writer, hope u know that. When I saw ur last update on the ‘damage control’ chapter i was so excited i devoured it so fast help

Alastor saying he wants to be in ‘cahoots’ with Lucifer it’s so funny to me cause no one use that term anymore, and Lucifer is just downright dumbfounded that they are even having the conversation. I can imagine the shadow rolling his eyes at them, we need more sassy shadow moments, he is so underrated. 😭😭

I love that Lucifer is trying to respect Al boundaries, especially after the ‘incident’ , and doesn’t pry to much on his scars, but now I am curious about what did Al meant. Does he not remember who did that to him? 🥺

Also I am curious about what they gonna tell to the others about their new found relationship. I don’t think Lucifer would want to lie to Charlie, but I also think that it would be too risky to make the whole crew knew they are acting, someone might slip. And it’s not like Al is gonna make it easy for Lucy anyway. If they want to be credible, less ppl knowing it’s best course of action for me.

Last thing~ I really wanted to thank you, cause ur fic really brings me a lot of joy since I recently only been able to find happiness in small things like these , and I I can’t wait to read more🌈

Hehehe, Alastor purposefully refusing to go into depth about their "sexual relationship," and even side-stepping outright calling it a relationship, is what's going to make it all more entertaining when he actually has to commit to the bit. Cuz you see, they're not fucking. They're "in cahoots."

It's different.

(I love Alastor's Shadow being sassy. If it's attached to Alastor, it has to be. I take no critiques.)

😈 Alastor and his scars is something I'm very excited to get into it. I've been thinking about them for a while, and while it may take a bit to actually get the answer, I'm very eager to get there when we do.

The way I see it, Alastor doesn't want to tell the others (as they already know their not actually dating--as he made VERY clear last time), but Lucifer isn't going to be okay with lying to Charlie. Out of the group, Alastor knows he can trust Husk and Niffty to keep it a secret. Maybe Angel Dust too. But he's most worried about Charlie and Vaggie.

Vaggie isn't a good liar, and Charlie's such an open, bright, heart-on-her-sleeves person, he doesn't trust her to keep up the ruse without letting something slip--most likely by accident.

But Lucifer is stubborn. He doesn't want to lie to Charlie, and if he tells Charlie, Charlie is going to tell Vaggie. If Vaggie knows, well, we already know she has a hard time lying on the spot, so if the others see Alastor and Lucifer suddenly "in cahoots," and ask about it, she's not going to be able to come up with a plausible excuse on the fly.

This is all to say, the next installment is going to be full of silly Hazbin Crew hijinks, where Alastor is forcefully enrolled into Chaggies Dating 101 Crash Course, and he is definitely not setting the grading curve. (And maybe we'll even get a bit of HuskerDust thrown in there, who knows. Certainly not me).

And it warms me so much to know that my fic can bring you joy in a time that such things are scarce 🥺 I can't wait to share more of the story with you!

(Edit by me)

METROID FIC IS POSTED!

PLEASE ENJOY!

[midnight-mourning]

Good morning, mourning! is it possible for you to show us how you make an outline for writing a chapter sometime in the future? like what does your first rough rough draft look like?🤔

also whats your favorite vine/meme at the moment?🫣

Hi pip!!

I can actually show you RIGHT NOW as I keep all my outlines (for the most part) saved in their respective chapters

*added a read more post-answering bc this got LONG lol*

So, it's sometimes a bit dependent on the fic, what I'm writing at the time, and where I'm at in the process. I usually have two different methods I stick to and typically combine in some manner:

bulleted list of important scenes/ideas to expand out upon from there (typically how I start out ideas for oneshots)

big blurb paragraph of a flow of ideas from start to finish (typically how I start out chapter-based fics, and what I do for Confused Spirit)

From there, I'll then combine the two methods in some way if it's a oneshot, and if I'm struggling to get the words flowing for a chapter-based fic, I'll use the list to expand out upon things I wrote originally. For example, this was ch. 34's outline (spoilers for those who haven't read it yet):

and then the list I added once I got started properly, which I crosssed out as I went along. Fun fact, you can see where I hit a moment of greatness in that last bullet and the chapter came together as a whole from there:

the blacked out is things I've pushed back for later (or just general spoiler stuff), so you can see that inital plans and even those I make WHILE writing the chapter are still subject to change as I go into actually writing it. Another good example would be from ch. 32:

in this case, I went back and added to the original outline (I think you can tell where lmao) and didn't utilize a list

I'd love to find chekov's gun, bc that one was REALLY good if I'm remembering correctly but I think it's buried somewhere in the Dialogue Dump unfortunately 😔

Adding on to that, I write a lot of scene ideas/mainly dialogue for things that happen in the future as the ideas don't typically come to me in chronological order. the party from 33? like a month into writing the story. the team meeting Michael? mid-arc 2. Chekov's gun? the start to midway point in the first couple days of writing and then basically finished within by the middle of august (started in July for those that don't know)

My point being that there's a lot of things that I have saved for certain arcs/plot points that I then insert into their proper place in the story once I find where that is. For arc 3 in particular I took the approach of gathering all the dialogue i KNOW was going to be in the arc, wrote my lil blurbs for all the chapters, and then started placing them accordingly. stuff has (and probably will continue to) gotten shuffled around, but for the most part has stayed in their original places.

a rough rough draft beyond that is basically adding to those base scene ideas (sometimes in order, sometimes not) typically writing dialogue and then filling in the blanks from there! sometimes if I'm lucky I can write a chapter from (mostly) start to finish in a span of four hours or so but that's only when i'm REALLY cookin'

Sorry for the super long winded response, didn't realize how much I wrote until I did it 😅

TL;DR, blurb of ideas, organize those ideas/add to them or adjust, full send it from there (with the potential help of some dialogue along the way)

As for my fav vine/meme currently? Probably the lump fish guy, everytime someone says 'very mindful, very demure' (I am not on tiktok so I do NOT understand this one) I instantly think 'very beautiful, very powerful'

thanks so much for the lovely ask!!! <3 <3 <3

📝 finishing writing my fic on the clock, as all things should be

[asteria7fics]

You say that you write Stan with the emotional intellegence of a rock?

Does that mean that Kyle extra blunt with him?

Aaahaha short answer? Sometimes, yeah.

My longer answer spoils a ton of stuff from my fics, so if for some reason you haven't read them yet maybe skip this answer hehe

EWILY Stan has zero excuse for not knowing that Kyle likes him back. Okay, MAYBE after the events in San Diego we can give him a little bit of leeway (I mean, why hesitate when your bro tells you he loves you? Who does that, Kyle?!) BUT I would argue that Kyle has way more reason to believe that Stan doesn't mean what he says. His actions have given Kyle every reason to believe that he's full of shit when he drunkenly confessed his feelings. However Kyle always welcomed him back anyway, like who does that if they DON'T like somebody??

Of course, he does eventually figure out that Kyle does have feelings for him, but it takes a goddamn blowjob to get him there (heh).

RSB Stan is so smart and yet so, so dumb. It doesn't even cross his mind that Kyle is trying to seduce him until the strawberry scene, and even then he doesn't really know how to process what happened, playing it off as more of a strategic move on Kyle's part rather than a truly sexual one. It doesn't even register to him that he's really, truly attracted to Kyle until he's basically already having sex with him. Like come on brother you've been drooling over his shiny collarbone and creamy thighs the entire fic how are you taking 15k words to realize you like him?

TLDR; my fics would be a hell of a lot shorter if Kyle would just take Stan by his shoulders and tell him exactly how he feels and what he wants to do about it.

Thank you for the ask, anon!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

[kolbietheaggrievedwriter]

How do you get over 50 chapters and 100k into a fic only to say the main pairing grosses you out?? 😭😭😭 Honey, no...🙈🙈 I feel like the epitome of the dead dove do not eat meme lmao like what did you expect??? /genuine amusement and befuddlement. You're entitled to your feelings, but I feel like we could have avoided this disgust and dismay a long time ago, ya know?? Maybe by not reading about a pairing that you so strongly dislike?? 💀💀💀💀💀💀

That was a crazy comment to read this far in. It about took me out ngl 😭😭

[robingivesmemagic]

i wish danny todd wasnt just included to separate tim and jasons backstories i wanna know more abt him so baaadd what kind of brother was he what were they like together i need to knowwww

[denzartriste]

Why are there so little Niko Sasaki fics. Who decided to never ever let the world have more than 340 Niko fics. Who is in charge of this i have complaints :(

(3 ones centric round her. WHY. HOW. is there another tag i need to be searching for please pretty please what am i supposed to do)

[liesmyth]

I appreciate that TLT fandom meta going around that's like "you're all so smart but let's remember the sins of hubris of the bbc sherlock fandom" because yeah! Good reminder! Theorizing is fun but also sometimes you connect the wrong dots! Sometimes the curtains are just blue!

Personally. I'm ready to have every single theory and headcanon I ever conceived personally debunked by Taz. I'm fine with it. I've accepted it.

EXCEPT for Vagina Dentata Alecto. Sorry to say. Unless AtN includes a very detailed first person POV of Harrow eating out earth barbie pussy and confirming firsthand with her tongue that there are no teeth down there, I will keep believing that she has teeth down there. I simply am perceiving the truth.

[cowardlybean]

i already sent a doodle request but (puts my face on th glass)spare just talking abt mp100 sir?

OHHHHH THE FREEDOM YOU HAVE GIVEN ME.

I’m gonna ramble about Mogami Arc because it’s been on the mind lately!!!! Tws same as canon o7

First off. Hey. What do you mean it’s canon that Reigen’s business was influenced by Mogami. Hey?? I have GOT to know how far that goes, is it the whole schtick or is it just a couple aspects? And of course that implies Reigen having watched Mogami’s old recordings and probably having heard of Mogami’s suicide. There’s a lot of potential here, with realizing that the guy he idolized horrifically traumatized Mob, or having habits he picked up from watching Mogami that Mob takes note of after Mogamiland. (Also. I wonder if he was thinking about Mogami for that TV appearance of his,,)

Mogamiland is still a world of cognition, even when Mob isn’t aware of it. My question is just how far goes, with Mogami being the main influence of course but Mob and Minori’s minds having even the slimmest effects on the world. Namely: how the hell does Mob survive alone? Is there always some old leftovers in the fridge, or does he only eat school lunch? And does his house magically have air conditioning? It’s the little things he doesn’t think about that could just magically appear, because even without knowing he has some minuscule influence. (Basing this off of what Mogami says in the beginning and how Mob’s appearance changes when Dimple comes along) (alas. I was a persona fan. Cognition is right up my alley)

What does Minori do in the years following everything? What does Mogami do in the years following?? Did Mogami stick around long enough to see Mob’s rampage? Minori certainly works on herself, though I’d like to think it’s a rocky road. It’s hard to kick old habits and honestly her talking to any of the Spirits and Such gang about it would be so interesting (LIKE. TERU!!!!! Teru was a school bully too!! And Serizawa, who could have been bullied as a kid as well. And Reigen. Reigen’s a weirdo.) That, and Mogami hanging around (that was unintentional I swear I’m not that morbid lmao). Does he try to understand Mob’s point of view? Or in 50+ years of living does he think it’s pointless to listen to a middle schooler? I’d like to think he drifts for a while.

ok. That’s. A lot!!!!! BUT TY FOR ENTERTAINING MY INSANITY!!!!!!!! I love getting to infodump my thoughts
