thank you for rebloging a lot of positive and kind things in the past couple of hours. its been really nice and im sure im not the only one who could need it we'll all make it, eventually, it just might take time and a lot of effort, but we'll all make it to a nice and kind place in life

It’s all I can do to stay sane atm. Unfortunately there’s not much to be done about the situation at hand in the broad sense. I am but a blip in the void. I did what I could, and the outcome occurred.

There’s been enough despair that I’ve inflicted upon myself as of late (separate from world events). Agonizing over this won’t change it. So I have to keep living.

Nevertheless, we continue.

Screenshot Friday!

The rules are simple: take a photo or screenshot any part of a current WIP (or finished/posted work if you prefer), and share it 🤍 open to any kind of creative work!

This is an idea i've seen done a few times, but i've been wanting to give it a go myself! Not sure when I'll actually get around to writing it fully, but here's a little glimpse!

I did a sort of elaboration for this awesamdream post

Kudos to those who noticed the wings got clipped. :D

WERE ALIVE HI

I was wondering about you. Good to know you're still alive.

[allylikethecat]

can we expect more of All the King's Horses? I love it 🥹🥹

First off, thank you SO MUCH for reading!! All the King’s Horses has become my precious child and is so so self indulgent, and I’m just so excited that people other than myself are enjoying it!! So thank you so very much!!

I will have another update a week from today, so this coming Friday! (Or at least that is the plan) I am currently on vacation and did not plan well enough to save the new chapter as a draft on AO3 to then publish today… and I am not tech savvy enough to copy it from Google Docs on my phone / iPad and then put it into AO3 and formate it properly. I am an old lady and I gotta do that on my laptop 😂 BUT I am super excited about the next chapter! We get to meet Fictional!Charli 👀

Thank you so much for reading and for being so lovely and encouraging! I look forward to returning to our regular scheduled programing next week! I hope you have a GREAT weekend!!

❤️Ally

My blog theme has been Narnia for like three years so I went ahead and changed it to the fandom I’m currently deepest in but I am very much still a Narnia stan, so my dear Narnia followers do not fret.

The horror of Tumblr Live has finally breached containment and it's available outside of the US now. (Tbh I thought the third party hosting app that they are using for it was illegal in other places, but oh well.)

Friendly reminder that you can turn it off in content settings - but it only "snoozes" for a week and you can't permanently turn it off.

I have always said that I will go down with this ship and I will stick around tumblr forever, but like damn. They are making it really difficult to want to

July 2022 me was like 'I have covid and my personal and professional lives are in tatters, I haven't written fanfic in like 15 years, let me write this one bonkers garashir fic that is in my head, as a coping mechanism, and then I'm probably going to forget all about it and never write anything again'

February 2023 me: everything except the covid got much worse in the meantime but things are tentatively looking up, have 3 active multichapter garashir WIPs and am so DEEPLY fulfilled by writing lizard porn that I literally don't understand how I got through life without it???

[tyedyeboogers]

I know that I'm not particularly outgoing, though I try my best, I'm going to try to share a little bit.

Things changed a lot for me this year. I got in to graduate school (again) and got a new job which both required me to move to a new place.

I found out that I have a tumor and have been dealing with that.

I've wanted to much to be creative, but everything has been sapped away. I miss it, and I promise to be back. I am, at heart, a writer - it is always there bubbling away- so I will be back to writing (oh, the codywan plot bunnies!)

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.
