#but are distracting when written

my writing sin is that i want to insert funny background events into every scene because my brain interprets imagined visuals into words, so written scenes end up cluttered or hanging too long on pointless/inconsequential interactions that would have been an out-of-focus background event while the main plot happens in the foreground had it been in a visual format
imagination of an artist, but only the ability to write to get them out v_v
#ditto rambles#writing sins#so often when writing catching trains scenes i would find myself getting side tracked by things that are happening outside the main focus#characters getting into shenanigans and general life interactions#things that matter to the scene as a whole#but are distracting when written#similarly i often want characters to be doing little actions#leaning onto friends ahoulders or pushing/shoving#those little actions that you do with people you care about#getting in their space#making playful gestures or faces#things like that#but that once again can clutter up written scenes#siiiiighs#i was trying to write again#and had to keep catching myself#cuz i want the characters to be moving or responding to#stimuli even when theyre not the focus#catching trains fic

I feel like I can't go five minutes on YouTube without seeing a video named something like "this analog horror series is the SCARIEST SERIES IN THE UNIVERSE" and the thumbnail always looks exactly like this
#i miss Local58#i've tried so hard to give other analog horror a chance and 95% of it is really badly written#or the art direction/aesthetic is super inconsistent and sloppy to a distracting degree#and even when both of these things aren't true it seems like it still always follows the exact same formula every time#trying so hard not to be a hater but i have to let it out Just This Once so I can move on with my day#also yes I only made this post because the Black Scorpion ovie poster makes me smile.

omg omg hi!! i love ur acc and adore ur writing <3 ik u get sm smut recs nd im sorry to be adding to the list but i was wondering if you could maybe write a fic of eating lee out? i just think she would be sooo whiny and pathetic its killing me!!!!
pls don't ever feel bad abt sending in reqs ! if i didn't want to ever write smut again then i assure you i would js say :) also that's so kind of you thank you so much ml <3
—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—✦—
it’s that time again, lee’s hand tugging at your belt as she whines into your mouth, her tongue dancing with your own. but something feels different today, almost as if you don’t really deserve it this time? like yes of course you’ve been to work too, but your job is nothing compared to what your girlfriend has to endure every single day.
her whines only become more desperate as she pulls away from the kiss, no words necessary because she's flashing you those gosh darn lost puppy eyes. leaning in once more, you press a soft kiss to her lips before pulling away and batting your hungry eyes at her (despite lee chasing after your mouth, whining again when you resist).
"not today baby, let me treat you mkay? just lay back beautiful" lee's hesitant at first, frowning before nodding and moving to lay beside you on her back.
all past confusion and cares are forgotten once her pants are off, her touch starved pussy practically crying for you. "so wet already? we haven't even done anything" pouting at her as you mock her, you position yourself between her legs, the heat radiating from her only intensifying your cravings.
"missed you today" she mutters sheepishly, head held up as she peeks down at whatever you're about to do to her.
cut to lee's hands tangled up in your hair, attempting to pull you impossibly close to her throbbing clit as she grinds her hips desperately against your face. lee could swear she's never felt anything like this in her life, you weren't joking when you told her she'd practically made you see god every time she's gone down on you.
"fuckshit- js'like that- mmm you're s'good" you can barely understand her, whimpers like a distant echo behind her slurred words as your tongue takes her to heaven and back.
you've never heard lee sound so... pathetic. i mean yeah she has always been whiny with you, but never before have you heard her be so vocal during sex, that's usually your job. "taste s'good" your words are obviously muffled against her, not wanting to pull away from your poor girl and ruin her building orgasm.
lee's whines and failed sentences turned whimpers eventually fade into cries of pure pleasure, that tight knot building in her abdomen. how can you tell? because her hand slides down to her stomach, pressing down slightly on just the right spot. classic trick, it's almost poetic to watch her do it to herself. even more arousing to know it's all because of you.
"i- i-" god she's trying so hard to get out the words she needs to, tears pricking at her eyes over how desperately she wants to tell you exactly what she needs. poor, pathetic thing.
nodding against her, you bring a hand up to rest atop her own that's currently pushing down onto her stomach, adding more pressure just to further her enjoyment. whines and moans build and build, echoing throughout the room and bouncing off of the walls before one last final cry of your name. lee comes undone for you, cum pooling into your mouth, her hips religiously rocking against your face as she rides out her high.
you can't just leave her like that though, right? that's just not fair, lee always makes sure to clean you up when she's done with you.
making sure you don't miss a drop of cum, your tongue travels around her messy cunt in search of more. lee's being driven insane above you, legs shaking like a leaf as she jolts and jitters with every swipe of your tongue against her plump clit.
deciding you've had enough fun with her, you press one last tender kiss to her pretty pussy before crawling up lay on her heaving chest, breath heavy and uneven. "good?" voice gentle, you trace patterns to her slightly revealed chest, only a few buttons being undone.
"good." poor baby sounds so exhausted, her eyes fluttering closed at the feeling of your hand on her chest. she deserves a good rest after such an agonising day of work, and especially after that.
#need that#gays i had these neuro focus gummies#when i tell u i have never written something so fast in my life...#AND I DIDN'T GET DISTRACTED#lee harker#lee harker x reader#lee harker smut#longlegs#not proofread !!

What's your favorite Cable/Deadpool comic issue? And why?
oh man. easy. easy answer. easiest answer ever. #35.
i don't think there's a single issue i love more, actually.
i'm kind of just obsessed with a wade who's just - struggling to find a compass. he's idle, and he's sad, and he doesn't know his place in the world. and he wants - needs so much, and he's restlessly trying to fill his holes.
(the holes in his soul, i mean.)
#the springboard for literally everything i've ever written in the past decade and i'm not joking. i'm not joking.#when i write wade this is the wade i'm thinking of. him. in his stupid little B baseball cap.#b for bitch.#sci talks comics#wade's sad keanu hours#i think i'm obsessed with this issue specifically and nicieza's wade because he mopes yeah but.#you see how he's restlessly trying to distract himself from his own self-loathing. that's why he does everything he does.#and i'm just... iIMMM ALWAYS THINKING OF HIIIIM.

A thought that is more Vibe than story at this point that I've been rotating in the old mental rock-tumbler is a post-climate-apocalypse A Knight's Tale/Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet take on a western, maybe with a dash of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys for flavour. Bon Jovi's 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' is on the soundtrack. Bruce Springsteen's 'The River' has turned into a diegetic trail ballad which is sung around a campfire along with 'Oh Shenandoah'. The whole thing runs on Rube Goldberged contraptions based on solar panels and batteries stripped out of electric vehicles, but the Vibe is 1870s. There are occasionally motorcycles instead of horses.
#i've had a bunch of little ideas that I've written a few scenes for but have no idea when or if they'll bear fruit lately#still trying to plug away at finishing anything that's got an actual plan but my brain is full of distractions#so I'm just gonna post about them here and get them out into the universe#come meet my plot bunnies. some of them may be adoptable

Been pretty ill the past couple days, and as such, my sleep schedule is absolutely fucked, so here I am, wide awake at five AM, thinking about a fic where Rhaenyra celebrates Syrax’s birthday (or hatchday, if you will): waking in the dawn to fly with her as the sun rises, returning in the afternoon to spoil her with piles of flame-roasted sheep and venison, and a giant cake
Bonus points if Alicent pouts and tells Rhaenyra, “I wish you’d spoil me this much”
Extra bonus points if Rhaenyra goes “BET” and does just that
#personal#fic stuff#rhaenicent#syrax#nobody tells you about fucked up sleep schedules when you’re sick#I’ve been awake since 3:30 AM unable to get comfy and my body doesn’t know whether it wants to be hot or cold#so have my distraction fic thoughts that may or may not get written soon

no because it would have been so easy for arcane to take jinx and portray her as just quirky or edgy with mental illness as extra flavoring to increase that but she’s not.
surface level, she does have some of that ‘lol XD i’m so random’ style of humor written into her, but it’s so often contrasted directly against a moment of pain that you’d have to try very hard to ignore how often she’s using her own impulsive behavior to pull herself off of a spiraling thought pattern. and jinx’s worst episodes are fascinating, visually, but they are literally hard to watch, between the jumpcuts and the time loss and her hallucinations. it would be hard to glamorize her without ignoring everything that’s been shown to you about how stressful it all is.
#thinking bout her. i love her so much. girl of all time#there’s a moment in episode 4? i think. where right after jinx’s breakdown on the airship + shooting up the place. back in silco’s office.#when she’s explaining herself to him and starts to spiral again. she stops because she starts fidgeting with and blowing on his little#injector thing. directly after she’s able to name *exactly* what triggered her episode for him. she’s not unaware!#it would have been very easy for them to write her as an unaware victim to her triggers. forever trapped at the whims of her own mind#without understanding it. they specifically don’t. and i love that.#uh where was i. right. she distracts herself on purpose when she’s triggered. she’s coping.#she’s coping poorly! usually! but she’s coping! as best she knows how.#sorry i just. i love that she’s written with so much agency. it’s very important to me.

*giving myself a pep talk in the mirror* don't give the book a star just because it wasn't physically painful to read
#it's grim out there guys#ok grim isn't really fair. it's aggressively mediocre#and so when I get assigned a drc that's genuinely well written I'm tempted to start flinging stars just for that#but no. you need to impress me with more than prose that's not actively distracting#(my new habit in bookstores is finding books I was assigned and seeing if my review got printed in them)#so far i've only seen it once in one of my few starred reviews#but my other starred reviews have the review on their publisher page so I bet if I found them in print it might be there#a fun little easter egg just for me

Featured Fic Friday!
Welcome to Featured Fic Friday! A day where I, or someone who suggests one, tell you about a fanfic that I really enjoy! Spoiler's under the cut! Today's featured fic is...
The One Where Sans Tells It Like It Is. (Or: The One Where Sans Is Number One Dunckle) by marauding_bagel (General Audiences, Complete)
When Toriel asked him to attend the meeting in her place for one night he thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Turns out Sans could not have been more wrong.
A bit of a short fic, there's a surprising lack of fics with this concept! Even still, I like the way the author exectues the idea! I loved reading comics similar to this fic when I was younger, so this threw me back a bit!
I enjoy the way the author writes the characters, & how they have them interact with each other!
Spoilers ahead!
I really like how the author includes some of the reactions from the unamed parents also at the meeting, having mentions of nods of agreement & cheering when Sans insults Helen's brownies!
#for once i actually picked this fic out yesterday#but then i proceeded to get distracted by several things#such as going through the entire utmvarchive blog from the beginning#mostly because i was interested in seeing if they had covered underlust yet#since i don't know much about it & wanna know more#but then i decided to go through all the posts starting with the very first one#this fandom is so amazing y'all#was no one going to tell me that seraphim sans is that interesting/cool#i've made it to horrortale at the time of writing this#boy is it such a difference from when i first encountered it#i used to be...well...horrified#well no actually it was more like terrified but still#i saw an opportunity & i took it#so that's why this is being written at a little after midnight the day of#coming back to edit this specifically because i read a bit further in the horrortale comic#yeah actually it's still terrifying#i'm pretty sure it's the eyes that are getting to me funnily enough#so i am putting on a playlist called bad bitch that reminds me of underlust sans & keeping my lights on#this is why i can't play horror games#fic rec#fic recommendation#ao3 fic recs#utmv#classic sans#sans undertale#pta sans#how is that not a tag#featured fic#mod sleepy

Have I worked on any of my long form works in progress that I haven’t updated in a while? No, I wrote like 10 words today.
But you know what I have done? I’ve started working on a oneshot that I’ve been thinking about for like a year and is amongst the angstiest things I have ever written. In fact if we only take into account canon-compliant or post-canon fics then it is absolutely the angstiest thing I have ever written.
Helnik, canon compliant, post crooked kingdom.
(Yes, you read that right)
It will be coming eventually I honestly have no clue when but I’m excited so I thought I’d share this now anyway
#me: hey I’ve never written a helnik centric fic even though an idea about them was what inspired me to write fics in the first place!#I can’t write that original idea though it’s too angsty#my brain: ANGSTTTTTTTTTTTTTT#so yeah#I doubt anyone remembers this but I did share a few#paragraphs when I first came up with the idea#but then I immediately got distracted by dotras and well here we are#but that idea has really been creeping back into my thoughts recently#it’s so angsty you guys#my angstiest canon compliant I should think#six of crows#grishaverse#crooked kingdom#helnik#nina zenik#matthias helvar#fic ideas#fic writing#writing community#ao3#ao3 fanfic#ao3 writer

The consequences of my poor financial decisions are here!!
#blame Kat for this lmao. she got the Yangchen novels first and I very easily give in to peer pressure (that wasn't exerted. but whatever)#three days earlier than scheduled too. which worked out perfectly bc I picked them up on the way home from grandma's#and carried them for 2 km. 2 hardcover books + the thick cardboard boxset they're in#+ the backpack full of food my grandma gave me#in the rain#I nearly fucking died#I'm not made for this level of physical exercise 😅#okay moving on#nia stop calling things like this poor financial decisions challenge#it cost like. the equivalent of 40 bucks#I have 30 times as much hidden away in my sock drawer#and I am usually responsible with my spending. I'm allowed a slightly more expensive treat every once in a while#also my dad doesn't know but I'm sure if I would him 'hey I spent 3.8k on a pair of books is that okay'#he'd be like 'why tf are you asking when have I ever said no to you spending money'#but again. I do try to be mindful#which is why as much as I want the lok art books and could probably ask for money for them. I won't#bc they cost an arm and a leg and I cannot morally allow myself to spend that kind of money#anyway. getting distracted again#do you know how hard it was to get these? I checked like 3 marketplaces before I did#and I was fully ready to get them in russian because non-classical english books are impossible to come by here#sanctions and all that. but somehow I did. and it only cost half the money in my bank account#I don't even know if Russian editions exist. these books were written before the war and before the gay propaganda ban but still#I didn't find them when I looked. maybe they don't sell them now that the law is in place or smth#I don't really care enough to look it up#the point is. I now own the books and can happily read about best girl kyoshi whenever I want#if the stress for an upcoming event doesn't kill me. that is#also I have read rok before but it was 3 years ago so my memory is vague. and I just realised how much thinner sok is?#I'll have to check the page count later

im gonna be real for a second. if fantasy can only be enjoyable to you when removed from any and all real world implications then is it even good
#mileposting#sorry if this seems like its targeting anything i literally just started thinking abt it for no reason#like this is not a vague LMAO but i think its smth ive thought about for a long time and i finally have the words for it#because like. okay for one all stories are based on the human experience whether its About the Human Experience or not#so i think when approaching a work of fiction and seeing something that has implications in real life#a lot of people have the kneejerk reaction of ‘its fantasy/its made up/its not real’#but where did it come from? who was it written by? what are the writer’s personal feelings on the matter and does their bias affect the work#this is just a me thing i guess but i dont find it any fun to see those connections and immediately disregard them#its because of those structures and systems that we can find a fantasy work so compelling#i understand the want to just turn off ur brain sometimes and be like fuckkkk cool dragon#like i fucking love a good dragon or whatever dont get me wrong#i have a world of my own thats literally just Ooh cool shit#but i would not call that compelling. fun maybe. but a lot of the appeal is lost for me#fantasy worlds are mostly just. our history but with fantastical elements to it#they typically are not fantastical worlds with our elements Removed from it#so the way specifically societal structures are treated differently in that aspect is interesting!#idk this is kind of a nothing post also you can tell i got distracted like five times in the middle of writing the tags. smile

tags continued from prev post.
#and all of this is true while it is ALSO true that her songs age incredibly well#even debut or random soundtrack songs or endgame#whatever song people try to put on the worst Taylor songs list NEVER QUITE BELONGS#it doesn’t feel right. and to some extent occasionally in mercurial flashes I feel the same about her BEST songwriting list#I can never rank anything of hers ever because she can write better than she has written#if anything finds her own songwriting dead it’s what her future self will be able to achieve#and I think sometimes even the public can SENSE this about her and it’s part of why people are sooooo hard on her in a brutal way#and in a way they never are with other artists. who have reached the limits of their potential#Taylor has not reached the limits —that’s the simple way of saying it#in some way she is still figuring out the artist she is going to be#and I really do think that it is going to be absolutely astonishing#because in some ways (this is going to sound crazy) she is still distracted by her success and her tour#she’s NOT but I mean. the canon hasn’t been fully set free#there are still somehow things holding her back#and we’ve watched her outstrip so much of those early confines that fame and the business of the music industry strapped around her#we’ve seen her say ‘that doesn’t apply to me’#but actually she’s going to and she needs to and I believe she WILL continue to move into rarefied air#my mom helped me give me the final piece of this feeling (and it’s just a deep gut intuition/brain chemical thing for me)#when she said one day almost in mild exasperation: maybe one day Taylor will grow into a Dolly Parton#and something CLICKED#in my brain. and I don’t agree with my mom in terms of her non-interest in Taylor (as much as it has pained me to do so)#I think she’s worth loving and paying attention to now#but that gap that exists between people who love her and people who don’t (full time haters internet trolls do not interact)#I think it’s going to close with time as her work stretches out and out and grows and changes#like I think by the end of her career we are going to have something so astonishing#and to loop it back for a second to a previous thought. I think that’s why sometimes a taylor song can sound disjointed to me. because it#will hit the Depths of the Depth for a second. it will transcend and then it will go back to merely being an excellent pop song#those flashes are everywhere in her work but I think she is going to work and hone them into being conductors of light in a more steady way#the older she gets. does this sound INSANE. idk sometimes I think it does and then sometimes I think it DOESNt. so who knows. but yeah#it’s hard to say because I know it will read as more critical of Taylor than I mean it to be. when really I mean it with so much awe

I want to see art of Tumblr as a physical space. It's a building. The popular blogs are sitting on their thrones. The hall of fame is the reception of it because departamental building. You know when you got to a building and there are sofas on one side the receptionist in front fo the door? Imagine he sofa side is incredibly big but it's actually a library, because everyone here seems to love libraries, and each book is a famous post, but they're all disorganized entirely so they randomly appear on a table of the library and someone grabs it and says "hey look at this!" and then continue to share it; sometimes they don't share it and instead put it back in the shelf but soon it appears on a table again. Each apartment is a person and each room in them is a blog they have, and if you only have one blog? Worry not! Slider curtains or magical walls, so it's technically one room but it's made perfectly to fit you. The apartment has all accommodations needed for the person (wheel chair, painkillers, pads, tampons, you name it and it's there.) and you can have your pronouns and your name written on the door and next to it a list of the things you love the most and want to talk about with people. There are pride flags inside and outside if you want to have them. Your wardrobe is whatever you want to wear for the day; Cozy pajama? Sure! Wizard robe! There you go! Victorian outfit? Lovely! Beetlejuice cosplay? Neat!
The dash is the halls. We wander around the building whenever we leave the room. When you post something, you're just saying out loud your thoughts, and if you get notes, that's just people wandering near your apartment who happen to have heard you. Likes are people literally leaving heart shaped stickers —with the paper still on— under your door with a little note saying "I heard you saying this and I liked it". Reblogs are people hearing you, then going back to their rooms and saying "Hey I heard this and I want all of you to hear it too! Also, I may have something to add to it!". Your neighbors are your mutuals, because they can hear you more easily.
In the main hall there are, like, papers hanging on one VERY big wall. The wall has written at the very top of it "POLLS" in big font. The wall is divided in "FINISHED" and "AVAILABLE". The papers on the available side come with a pen so you can vote, but no one sees you while doing so and no one will know what you said except for you.
The asks are people sending you letters under your door. Your door is uh magical so you can say if people have to sign it or if it's okay to put it anonymous. You then proceed to read the letter out loud for everyone who passes by to hear and you answer.
The drafts is you having a thought but instead of saying it out loud you write it down, and put it on a shelf with the other drafts. Every apartment has a shelf, as high or as low as the person wants it, the color and the shape and everything is to appeal the owner of the apartment.
And uh.. I think that's it for now I can't think for much else except uh
@hellsite-detective has two types of asks. The simples ones like "Hey can you find this?" "I love what you do!" are the usual letters, the other type is the people who prefer to go ask for help themselves. They knock on the door and present the evidence for the case, trusting our dear detective.
There's so many people in here... Tumblr is pretty much a city with how many buildings there are... People can go on to other buildings and wander around too and participate if they want.
The gimmick blogs have different wardrobes in their rooms. There's the main one where they go as themselves, and there's the other where they can put on costumes and change their names.
There's also a more secluded part of the city... That's where the misfits live. Bigots, transphobes, homophobes... People who we don't want to be around, so they hide in their little corner of the city. Most know better than to interact. Those who are curious put on a custom to not be seen when they wander around, and they try not to engage.
I want to continue talking about this but I don't have any more ideas right now so please continue this if you want! :)
#is this something#how do i even tag this#I want people yo see this tbh#I've been feeling terrible lately and this hellsite (affectionate) is my escape#It literally feels like a physical place and it's so nice#When I feel bad I just come here and distract myself#i love this#hellsite#I'm sorry this is mainly just me rambling and it's 3am and I'm tired but I wanted to share#This is probably poorly written I'm sorry#long post#It was actually 2am when I wrote this but I missclicked and I don't want to write it again#i'm hungry#tumblr

what do I need to do for people to stop writing dialogues in languages they don't speak in the middle of a fic ?
It's distracting, it doesn't flow well, and if you are unfortunate enough someone who knows the language suffers through the fic.
#this one is for lestappen writers#i love you all and i respect the fact that you choose to share your work with us!#but!#the badly written french dialogues are the biggest turn off ever#and evem when they are grammatically correct they rarely flow well#just write it in English in italics#formula 1 rpf#i do realise that my post seems mean but really believe me it's distracting#and i don't even imagine the non-speakers who are left to struggle#it does make me practice dutch tho so—#fanfiction#ao3
