i love your riddle design so much, he's so pointy and british. so gracious. do you think he would enjoy a brazilian goiabada
thank you! ❤️🖤❤️ it's just. important to me on a level I can't explain that Riddle have an extremely pointy nose that he can stick into everyone else's business.
also goiabada is sweet and fruity and red, I think he would like it very much indeed!
not me stealth-editing because I forgot his antenna whoops
#art#twisted wonderland#me: riddle's nose is important to me (draws him without a nose)#a study in contrasts?#regardless it is my power as a fanartist to let riddle eat sweets and by god i'm going to use it#i also love british riddle. briddle. it's just RIGHT.#i think about how someday the anime will come out and get dubbed and riddle is going to have Generic Anime Boy Voice#instead of the most over-the-top prim little benedict cumberbatch accent like he does in my HEART#and the world shall be poorer for it. alas.#i also think it would be VERY funny if malleus had a super exaggerated french accent because something something french fairytale#i am probably alone in this however#(sorry still trying to catch up on everything!)#(all of my focus has been going towards Deadlines so hopefully i will have space to think...eventually :')#(i still have some main story things cookin' and i JUST finished tsumsted 3: the squeakquel so uhhh)#(there may be a bit of a flood at some point. you've been warned.)

Caitlyn is crumbling under the weight of it all.
It feels like the entire weight of the world is on her shoulders.
The people of Piltover are looking at her for safety and protection; the people she defied her mother to serve. The merchant houses are looking at her, expecting her to step up and be the leader of her house like her mother was, yet she and her mother never saw eye to eye, unable to agree on thing and yet so deeply loved eachother. The council is looking to her to resolve the cities conflicts, wanting her to be a part of a game she never wanted to be a part of.
She's crumbling under the hatred, the anger, the guilt.
She's the cause of all of this - because she didn't just be the daughter of house kiramman; because she had to stick her nose in places she shouldn't have; because she fell in love.
Her affection for Vi caused her to hesitate, made her not take the shot. And now she is desperate to fix things as it all slips between her fingers. She has to fix things because that is what she has to do as leader of the Kirammans, no matter the cost.
But at least she has Vi, who understands her pain, understands her part in all of this. They're together; can burden that weight together. They will set things right.
That's not how it goes though, because a single act of kindness caused a young girl to become involved.
Vi won't let another child become like her, like Jinx. Won't let someone else go through that same trauma. She has to stop this despite being willing to let Caitlyn kill her to get to Jinx.
But Caitlyn is already too far gone. She was so close to being free of it all - avenging her mother, righting the wrongs caused by her meddling. And the one who was supposed to be there, shouldering it with her, won't let it end.
It's the last straw. Vi was all she had, the one good thing to come out of all this pain and misery, the only person who didn't expect things from her because of her name and status. She should understand, why didn't she understand.
So she has to go. Caitlyn can't let this girl mess everything up. She has to rebuilt up these walls, become what her mother always wanted her to be.
Become what Piltover is expecting her to be.
#god I wanna write a fic studying and breaking down caitlyns headspace this act#cos oh its so complex#shes in so much pain and burdening so much yet has to be so much for others#and the destruction its causing#but alas I still have a shit ton of uni work to finish and a Friday deadline#act 2 will be out by the time im done so see this post as that exploration#arcane#caitlyn kiramman#caitvi#piltover's finest#shio speaks

the epic highs and lows of rereading your own writing to seek out parts you disliked and analyze Why you disliked them to do better in the future
#personal stuff#delete later#just finished rereading fragments [shaky thumbs up]#been struggling with writing so what is there to do but reread my own stuff to learn from my mistakes 👍#man you can REALLY tell where i started getting crunched for time by a self-imposed deadline. like the quality is staggering#i could have stopped this fic at april and been content with it fr...#like if i had shuffled around some stuff in the later chapters to appear a little earlier. and actually had april be the resolution#might've gone a bit better. but alas.#anyway. the second half of the fic is rough for sure. but the early chapters. those kick ass. genuinely.#august is a good introduction!! i like the setup!!#and though i STILL clutch my head in my hands wrt september. the themes of the conversation at the end came off well#november i love you november. captures the feeling of anxiety Really well. still makes me cry whenever i reread it To This Day#the argument in december actually kinda goes hard?? i am always so shy abt writing confrontation bc it feels Bad but man it kinda kicked as#and february mwah mwah mwah. loove the atmosphere with that one. it's a little dramatic but ough. the vibes are off the charts#turns out. the bad parts of these earlier chapters were a lot smaller than i thought#and by ignoring the urge to cringe and instead looking my work in the face. i can learn from my mistakes. crazy#most of the later chapters though. don't look at me i was struggling.#trying to come up w ideas and arrange them around important dates was a fun concept but the novelty wore off#as i was like ughh but thematically this scene would work better here before this chapter...#i had suuuch a strong vision for april but i kinda stumbled with the execution as pointed out by one commenter#and that kinda put me off the chapter as a whole on rereads even after editing it. like whyyyy did i write it like that. head in hands#and it does not fit all that well after march. i think i relied a little too heavily on the timeskips for drama in both chapters#june was fine i guess but don't get me started on july. july was ass i had no idea what i was doing.#i think i wrapped up that chapter really well for what i had to work with but like. man#i don't even like Reading stuff like that why'd i write it.#what writing a chapter for the sake of posting it rather than for the sake of finishing up a fic does to you 😔#anyway yeah. i had a lot of fun rereading it but. mostly in the first half. i could stop reading at february and be content with that.#i think i took psychic damage from reading the later chapters. not bc they were bad but bc like. i remembered not having as much fun w them#and feeling stressed and crunched for time like they were a homework assignment that was due instead of a fun hobby for me#crazy. not doing that this time.

I thought my procrastination and avoidance issues would be fixed once I was a working, functioning adult but I guess once you write a full 12 pages essay on Middle English literature the night of the due date you kind of always run on that speed.
#I thought I would be better with deadlines#alas#sorry if I’ve ever promised a thing done by a certain time or day#I do try but my brain just shrugs it off and says nahhh#rambles#I have completed my required word count for the Big Bang but at what cost#(it’s illegible and a mess that makes no sense)#CAN she still turn this around?#probably but I’ll complain a bit#rip my one shot I’ve been trying to edit for 2 months

Though, in other wip news, the first draft of Indulgence (aka the smutty treat I'm hoping to have out for my birthday next week) is done 🎉
Apparently the draft already is about 4 500 words. Now, a lot of it is actual prose, but there are still things that definitely will get fleshed out, so... Guess we'll be getting to enjoy Jamil quite thoroughly once this is done.
#ner talks#alas today seems to be a bit of a cotton brain (might or might not have something to do with staying up late for midsummer last night)#but at least I still have some time before my (self-imposed) deadline

Last week's rules still apply to tomorrow's A&E Fic chapter - Bestie has abandoned me and therefore this chapter has not been viewed by another living soul before being posted, meaning you are getting more raw, unfiltered content from Ally's brain and Imma need y'all to give me feedback accordingly ❤️
#allylikethecat#ally's thoughts#ally's creative process#or lack there of#im sorry for being so needy and insecure#but alas i am#and also this is me warning yall that Nurse C has been my sounding board for this one#and Poor Nurse C has no idea what fandom this is even for#I'm pretty sure she suspects though#I keep calling fictional!Matty “[redacted]” lol#also i still havent actually finished the chapter#but im assuming i'll have it finished#it is ALMOST done#and since my beta reader has left me#im kind of winging it#deadline? never heard of her#i hope you still like it though#we went in a VERY different direction since there was no one to tell me it was a bad idea#Bestie kept me contained#so get ready for unhinged content#Ally is off leash and unsupervised#can you tell i've been drinking lol#rid me of the blues#a&e fic#the a&e fic#the infection verse#the infection fic verse#the infection verse fic#infection verse#infection fic verse

before the beginning, the end, and pov (bonus points if you do three different wips)
i'm earning those bonus points I can do this !
before the beginning Davey signs up for a Spanish class to get the language gen ed credit he needs for college. In class, he meets Jack, who confesses that he's been fluent in Spanish his whole life and pretending not to be for the easy good grade. Davey is instantly enamoured with Jack after learning this fact, but even as they get to be close friends has no idea that Jack is starting to feel the same way.
the end I have not written the ending of this one but I know it will probably end with Davey thinking about moving permanently back to the city but starting with taking a summer internship, which means getting to meet in person for the first time ever. He's scared that things will feel different in person, but the fic would close on them meeting face to face for the first time, probably in a train station, and getting to hug each other.
pov this is the hardest one. just for funsies this one isn't from a fic, it's from the project I started as my undergrad thesis. From Moose's pov, Giacomo is the worst kind of new recruit. He's brand new, has no idea what's going on at all, has no idea how powerful he could be, and is immediately being put into a position of at least some authority because of his natural gift with the corda (magic). When he shows up with Bif, he's wide-eyed and innocent, might as well be a child. Moose knows damn well what an accidental use of the corda looks like, so he knows right away when Giacomo first explodes the lightbulb on accident and later pulls the tablecloth. He knows that Joey is putting too much trust into somebody that has no business being a part of any of this, and is going to end up getting somebody (likely himself) killed. Part of him hopes that if he's mean enough, the kid will walk away before it's too late. As soon as Giacomo shakes Joey's hand, he knows somebody's death sentence was just signed, and if he wasn't more scared of Joey than he was of incompetence, he would have walked right then.
#i've been adding to my thesis slowly but steadily#as in like one sentence a day slowly but hey it's still progress#i really do love the world i just have trouble focusing on it without the deadlines lmao#anyway tee !! ily!! i would have used a line of poetry if you had chosen a line one but alas you get mostly newsies instead lmao#i love you!
