things that are hard to find: writing advice that isn't condescending.
#ambie.txt#I've been really thinking about this story in my head and wondering what caused me to get burned out from writing#and realising it's all the formal bits. planning an outline organising things into a timeline. I'm more of an impulse writer#and having to think about all those dry and formal things makes me quit before I even start#this is my autism but I hate having to stop and figure out all this before I write because that way I won't write at all#ever since I started free writing I discovered that I still love writing. I love it so much#but I hate doing all of the other things because they are not my special interest and they keep me from pursuing my special interest#it's just very hard to find writing advice that isn't condescending in this aspect#people stressing out you need an outline first are very common unfortunately#I'm more of a vibes no plot person and like to just discribe the vibes in vivid detail#before worrying about the plot too much. and yes in a story there had to be a plot#but if worrying about the plot and connecting all the scenes is killing my creativity#I want to just go from details first and bigger picture later#again. autism. also writing dialogue is the worst. idk how people talk. I don't understand body language etc etc#I have written some pretty good dialogue before so I know I'm capable. it just really sucks when I have to scrutinise everything#and think ā€œwould people say this? do they talk like that?ā€ its draining#so I was thinking about writing dialogue separately. maybe write it as a script for a play#which is essentially just dialogue. and then match it with the scene descriptions I have written#like. I know I'm a good writer. I very good one. but the way I have been writing so far has burned me out#because it was too much focused on all the boring bits and not enough on the freedom and joy of just writing#which is why I love free writing. it allows me to focus on a few tiny details and then develop them into something bigger#also I hate writing on a computer so I got some notebooks so I can write on paper instead#it's where I'm most creative I've found#anyway this all just to say that I think following writing advice is not for me at least not now when I'm rediscovering my passion#and that I need to trust myself more and do things that make me happy#so um yeah. best writing advice is to just write and worry about it later

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series
#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners#(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as#cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point)#grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are ā€œits been amazing.ā€#to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed.#and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight#plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends#ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst#that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings#and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions#the characters take and so im happy to bring it up#unlike other parts such as ā€œlimlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has beforeā€#which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out#thats for another post though#my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that#which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm)#but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling#anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there#grian#trafficblr#3rd life#3rd life smp#3lsmp

thinking about how melliwyk had a reputation in her career for ruthless ambition but actually she knowingly went into a dead-end field with realistic expectations about it because that's what brought her the most sincere excitement and joy

So I'd forgotten how much I enjoy reading history books
I've just finished a book about Margaret Beaufort (Uncrowned Queen by Nicola Tallis) and am now partway through Matilda by Catherine Hanley and it's all fascinating
But also I have just learned that the whole line of succession was completely transformed by what sounds like a drunk-driving accident with a death toll of 300.
And that is wild to me.
Not to mention it happened so far back in history that had it not happened, the Horrible Histories song wouldn't have gone "William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John..."
It would have gone "William, William, Henry, William-" and who knows from that point. That's so far back!

Me showing DSAF to an acquaintance who has only heard of it like: "You will get depression due to this later. Anyway this is my primordial pet freak, he has killed hundreds of people and will kill again and I think he should be locked in a controlled environment forever. Oh no not for his crimes. It's because I want to study him like a bug forever. Perhaps break his bones one by one... Anyway when I draw him drawing is actually fun and doesn't feel like a stressful performance."
#its so funny i just cant be normal. normal people have like#normal characters that they consider characters that bring them joy. i always pull out the most rancid fucker and go#'this is my emotional support piece of shit and when i draw him i rediscover what hobbies are'#(because i actually do not have hobbies in the traditional sense)#(as in activities like drawing or writing are actually not fun for me at all#i do them because im fairly good at them and because it's a habit; like doing your homework. but i hate them. it's a stressful thing#and it brings me more tears than fun. i like to produce products i like being productive but i hate the process and i hate#how i can make a mistake and i feel judged the whole time. i feel like that during playing instruments and during sewing amd#i felt that way during horse riding and i feel that way no matter what i do. constantly judged and evaluated and like#my performance has to be flawless and every tiny mistake justified. like my life is a constant process of justifying my actions in#front of a court and a judge and a jury.)#(but when i draw some specific characters I don't feel that way. i feel like this weird feeling that i think might be joy? i don't feel#stressed out at all and seem to forget that i am being evaluated#i forget that i have to constantly earn my life. j don't stop every few lines to get a breather to calm myself down and assure myself#that i can do this flawlessly. i just...draw and if it's less than perfect i just correct the mistakes. but I don't feel pressured or judged#i find myself smiling and it's weird. because i never feel like smiling when im drawing or writing or anything.)

Youā€™re so passionate about shifting because itā€™s something youā€™re meant to do.
Iā€™ve often discussed the different levels of our psyche: the soul level, the unconscious, and consciousness. As a soul, you choose to come here to experience what youā€™ve selected. We all have our agendas here, and often, we arenā€™t aware of or donā€™t remember our soulā€™s agenda. Thankfully, your soul is always guiding you and giving you hints to complete your agenda and experience what you chose on a soul level. How does it do this? Through passions, strong feelings, and emotions.
Your deep interests and desires act as signposts from your soul, showing you what you (as a soul) want to achieve in this lifetime. When youā€™re drawn to certain ideas, concepts, or practices, itā€™s because they align with your soulā€™s agenda.
So, if youā€™re strongly attracted to the idea of shifting and really want to do it, itā€™s because thatā€™s exactly what your soul chose to experience in this lifetime. Donā€™t doubt your ability to shift or think itā€™s not meant for you. In fact, the opposite is true: you ARE meant to shift, which is why you desire it so much.
Moreover, the reason youā€™re drawn to specific realities is because you feel a deep connection to them on a soul level. Youā€™re meant to shift there and experience itā€”it was all pre-planned.
Understanding this helped me stop worrying about whether I could do it. At our core, we are all master shifters. Itā€™s the most natural thing for us. Weā€™ve merely forgotten this in order to rediscover the joy of it all over again.

I keep getting notes on an addition I made to a post about neat bug threat displays in which I shared the ace pride flag I color picked from a caterpillar(and also the caterpillar itself). I donā€™t know why I am getting notes because Iā€™m fairly confident the likes and reblogs are from the OPā€™s reblog of my addition. People have been leaving nice comments about it on the post and it has been neat to see the excitement and love for ace rights caterpillar. Itā€™s also been nerve wracking because sometimes Iā€™m like ā€œoh fuck what if they check my blog and Iru is thereā€.
Anyways I think now I finally have a good addition to/bit of elaboration on that post about why Iā€™m like thatā„¢ļø. So when I was but a wee little shitling in kindergarten sometimes on Fridays the music teacher would let us watch Animusic(2001) and this irreversibly changed the course of my life. And then after that when I was in highschool I
In other news I rediscovered Animusic for a second time a couple days ago. I have had Drum Machine playing in my brain for the last 12 hours minimum. Clusterfuck song but in a very good way. If youā€™ve never listened to Pipe Dream or Future Retro go do that right now. Daily quest. You wonā€™t get anything as a reward except the gift of hearing bangers ahead of their time.
