writing fluff is so hard esp for a character you haven’t written for before + other characters in the fic 😭
#satoru i’m abt to get real acquainted w you in this fic#so far it just all sounds v corny and not at all like how satoru sounds so i need to rework everything#also it’s so hard to segue into another part of the fic or just another paragraph for me so i need to practice FLOW#and NOT make it choppy/clunky#and i also have to find voices for tsumiki & megumi 😭 miki’s is pretty easy she’s sweet & playfully teasing#wanna make megs adorable yet slightly grumpy bc i know he’s mature but i still want a childish vibe for him hmmmm#i’m actually… SURPRISNGLY. having a LOT of trouble w the ‘reader’ themselves#i just can’t seem to find their dynamic w each character yet… hmmmmmm#y’know what i may have to do… keep the beginning part but scrap everything else and start fresh#sighhhhhhhh.#i’m willing to do that though bc this story so far isn’t hitting the way i want it to#and i love the Premise of the fic a lot and want to do it TOTAL justice#like it’s serious business to me 😭 i don’t play around when it comes to this omfg like i HAVE FUN but i want it to be decently written too#gonna need to insert more personality to each character + their DIALOGUE TOO omg dialogue is so fucking hard & speech tags are so blegh#i actually might dream on it tonight and imagine how it would realistically play out in my head and then go back to fic writing#yeah i’ll do that it’s 9:30 pm rn basically so i’ll just dream on it 😭#personal

finished private rites. haven't reached the final page of a book and said "wait thats it????" aloud in a while
#gene.txt#man it had such a compelling premise and the first 100 or so pages were rly promising and then it just. fell apart#i was right abt it being like our wives where the last 50 (in this case like 10) pages change how i feel abt the entire book#but it was in such a distinctly disappointing way. like of all the places u could have taken it u go with That??#and worse than the story going off the rails was the prose starting to rly grate on me#i think our wives worked bc it was short and sharp and armfield's tendency toward pontificating gave the briefness depth#meanwhile private rites is 300 pages and it began to feel bogged down (lol) in the prose#which sucks bc im all about the prose!! im a prose > plot guy!!! but u still need to have a clear point to pull off a vibes-heavy book#and while i could see what she was trying to say it just got swept away (lol x2) by the profundity hammered into every sentence#also the multiple povs didnt help. it actually would have hit harder solely from isla or irene's pov imo#tl;dr julia armfield water lesbians 2: electric boogaloo could have made a good novella. regrettably it is Not that#ANYWAY onto carys davis's clear!! im v excited for this one

Is it a hot take to say re7 is the scariest resident evil game …
#I genuinely have no idea what people think the scariest rezi game is?#if I had rezi followers I’d do a poll but I’m so deathly curious#re7 and 8 are the most .. hm#controversial maybe? minus the re3make#because of the swap to first person but that was the point#the perspective swap was to make ‘em scarier and I think they did a good job#re7 at least#I don’t rhink re8 is very scary sorry😭#re7 just has a better premise#all the Mia cutscenes are fuckin. crazy. to me at least bc one of my biggest fears is getting stabbed with a huge kitchen knife like that#plus the baker house setting is purrfect imo#re8 is very much fairy tail vibes. not too spooky#the vampires aren’t scary theyre hot idk what you want from me. it was hot when ethan got his hand cut off by lady d ok.#I’m not scared of dolls or that ugly ass fish man neither so#not factories neither#just yeah. fairy tail. not scary#tbf I’m not scared of bugs so the whole bug part of re7 admittedly does nothing for me#which is a shame because it’s AMAZING#but no yeah re7 is so good and so so fucking scary LMFAO#god I need to peer pressure some of my friends into getting into the rezi series I need to be insane w someone abt it#unfortunately it’s a little hard to get into admittedly but once you’re in you’re IN

its less that i think old kids properties shouldnt have darker, adult reboots and that they're inherently bad, and more that i think that most of them lack an understanding of why those original works were special and enjoyable in the first place and attempt to overcompensate for it by falling back onto tropes the cw popularized in order to seem more "mature"
#tara says stuff#yes this is about the new scooby show#i wanted to like it so bad but the vibes are just SO off#i rlly like the premise and art direction and character design but uuugghhhh it already seems so overwhelming mean spirited#and i mean like#we've had kinda mean spirited scooby doo content before#but the reason that i think it works for most of those instances#is that its meant to be contradicted by the gangs inherent goodness and likability#like yeah#i'll admit it#as much as i enjoy velma in mystery incorporated she could be way too hard on her friends sometimes-- ESPECIALLY scooby#but the reason that i can overlook that is bc velma still obviously LOVES them a LOT#theyre her FRIENDS#and i just. dont care to see the gang split up when i know its gonna be written like some unrelatable and unfun riverdale bs#like the other times its happened i think it worked bc they leaned into the wackier outcomes and comedic aspects of it#when they split in mystery inc shaggy gets sent to be in the goddamn military and SCOOBY breaks him out#like cmon thats so goofy and silly and fun#but yeah i guess im done rambling now#i just rlly like scooby doo its very special to me and my mom and the good memories i have of us with it make me very passionate abt it

Probably mostly NITW-style but like. knowing Death of the Artist as a story is defined by how it intrinsically fucks with the formula of wha
If you suddenly had all the skills and resources needed for making any type of game about your ocs, what kind of game would you make? And about which oc(s)?
#Absolutely some ridiculously ambitious Death of the Artist game 100%#most of the first chunk would probably be like. NITW-esque in terms of gameplay/style/vibes#But if I had the resources + motivation + time + skill to pull of how much of a clusterfuck /pos the back half would be in my mind. HOO BOY#It’s literally a whole fucking story abt artists and their relationship to their art and the creative process#if I could pull the shit I wanted off in terms of art direction? writing? music composition? all in accordance to the main cast’s arcs?#dude I would be so happy#If I had even the smallest chance to do Death of the Artist and its themes and motifs justice like I see them in my head I’d take it so fast#I love my absolute surreal clusterfuck of a story#I never thought I could get so attached to the premise of ‘Doomed by the narrative but the narrative is your old sparkleanimal comic’

im thinking I should have an obviously fake scambot-sona like honestly the pornbot dms are so unbelievably esoteric i love them.
patricia taxxon has permanently imbedded her paws into my brain and I'm like. yeah, thats autism baby.
#like having a hyperfixation on some product with genuine excitement#and just wanting to talk about it extensively#hastily skipping by some key details just because it makes them excited to talk about#there's obviously some gripes i have with this though#like generally spam is malicious and that's not really something i wanna associate autism with cuz duh#so I'd try and nuance it out or something? it's kinda hard to remove part of the premise#also abt the dehumanizing aspect of robots as metaphor for autism#i personally vibe with it because it does feel like i'm having to pretend to be whatever the definition of 'human' even is#but i get it's been weaponized and shit

but I like you ! ౨ৎ ˚ ⟡ ˖ (bnd)
₊˚୨୧𓂃 boynextdoor crush headcanons! genre: fluff. word count: 3k. warnings: none. requested: yes! ♡ note: I've been super burnt out lately so not sure how this turned out.. I tried to proofread but there might be mistakes that slipped so sorry abt that! pls let me know your thoughts, hope you like it! likes & reblogs are v much appreciated! — with love, cream <3 . . . @onedoornet
sungho
𓏵 idk why, but I think sungho is the type to fall for someone after the other person shows interest in him. don't ask me ok.. I just get this vibe. he strikes me as someone who doesn't get crushes a lot and usually wouldn't bother with things like this. but if you show him you really care for him and that you're serious abt your feelings for him, it won't take long for him to warm up to u. his heart would flutter at your tiniest actions, at the minimal touches and subtlest of sentences.. if you full on flirt with him, be prepared to have him in a puddle at ur feet. he's just so shy when it comes to stuff like this (,,> <,,)♡ so, in conclusion: make him blush and his heart is yours <3 hehe
𓏵 I think this tendency of his would most likely stem from the fact that he doesn't want to date casually, especially if there's no long-term commitment involved. he doesn't wanna waste his time on someone, if he knows they don't take this relationship as seriously as he does! if they don't love him to their heart's content, just like he would. he wants his partner to be sure about him and he wants a relationship with equal love, effort and loyalty from both sides. basically, he wants forever, or nothing. what a dream he is.. gosh ꒰ ᐢ ◞‸◟ᐢ꒱
𓏵 if you do manage to somehow strike his interest and make his heart flutter, he won't have much of a choice but to catch feelings for you hehe. he's so adorable actually, bcuz just imagine how cute sungho would be in love.. I'm actually melting at the thought pls. he'll go home that day all dazed and floaty and he'll stay up all night thinking abt you. (with a silly lovesick smile on his pretty face ʕ´-ﻌก̀ʔ) I'm devastated at the mere thought u guys :’(
𓏵 if you're close friends, he'll take care of you so so diligently, but silently. like if you fall asleep during movie night he'll cover you with a blanket and turn down the volume, so you can rest in peace. he'll never let you walk on the outside of the sidewalk, and will always always remind you to eat well! <3
𓏵 imagine having sleepovers w sungho :( you guys would make a little late night snack together, laughing among yourselves the whole time. then you'll cozy up on the couch to watch a film (that only you wanna watch, but he'll agree bcuz he wants to make you happy <3) you would probably pause the movie at times to discuss the scenes. but instead of becoming frustrated, he'll listen to all your yapping </3 eventually you'd both drift off, and you'll somehow end up waking up wrapped in his arms the next morning.. ૮ / / / ⍝ა ♡ (I need to experience a friends 2 lovers with sungho rn!!! (╥﹏╥)..)
riwoo
𓏵 I feel like riwoo is the type of person who requires deep emotional connection, before there is any possibility of developing a romantic attraction toward someone. this would mean that he doesn't get crushes as often, but when he does have one, it's super intense, and so important to him! like he is probably already in love with you before you can even clock his crush on u lol. I think he's just someone who loves in secret, in the safe premises of his own mind, where anything is possible and nothing could go wrong. he constantly daydreams about the idea of being with you and thinks up uncountable scenarios.. in them he can hold your hand or kiss your cheek, while in reality he settles for gazing at you from afar with utter longing.. ( ˊᵕˋ ♡) he's a real hopeless romantic </3
𓏵 he will probably be the type to become friends with someone before catching feelings for them! on the one hand, for him this would mean knowing you so so well, that he's very comfortable with you, trusts you with all his secrets and fears, and thinks of you as one of, if not the most precious person in his life. <3
𓏵 but on the other hand.. this type of connection also creates ground for casual intimacy that only the best of friends share among each other. meaning you're just so so close to him sometimes that he could count each eyelash and freckle/beauty mark of yours ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ his breathing would come to a halt each time, as if he's afraid you'd notice the drumming beat of his nervous heart, or that if he let even a puff of air escape his mouth, this moment would break and shatter into tiny pieces..
𓏵 in all honesty, he himself is confused by these conflicting feelings, wanting to have you close (maybe even closer than this ><) but being unable to calm his heartbeat. you could imagine he'd be a blushing mess regardless of what happens hehe, his heart flutters even when you call his name or simply acknowledge his presence. he just adores you, okay? <3
𓏵 sweet boy would stay up with you when you have to revise for an exam, and bring you hot cocoa to drink as you study <3 he'll be so extra quiet. when your eyelids start drooping and he notices your head getting heavy, he'll slip his hand under it so it doesn't hit the table. at first he thinks of waking you, but he'll just lay his head next to yours as he admires your peaceful, sleeping face. staring at u with stars in his eyes (っ ॑꒳ ॑c) ₊⊹
𓏵 bonus: he'll love to communicate w you in lil written notes! <3 he'd leave you a snack, or a book you wanted to borrow or sth, with a tiny sticky note attached to it, that says “enjoy” or “I hope you like it!!” he'll always add smiley faces too :( cutie. x
jaehyun
𓏵 I think jaehyun would become an inseparable part of your life so so quickly and smoothly, you wouldn't even notice that you guys are best friends. hehe (⑉> ᴗ <⑉)ゞ it's so fascinating how seamlessly he slots himself to fit every aspect of your life.. almost entirely naturally integrating within your friend group, your classes and even your free time!
𓏵 he's someone who'd, I feel like, take each and every slight chance to chime into the conversation just to say something useless, as long as it means he can talk to you. ( ´. .̫ .`) </3 if he sees you on the street, he'll always try to catch your attention somehow, and if you let him, he's more than happy to treat you to a snack! and in classes that you both share, he'll be rushing over to secure the seat beside yours, smiling at you with sparkly eyes when he reaches the desk (﹡ˆ﹀ˆ﹡)♡ so basically he's like a puppy that won't leave you alone, because of how much he loves you :(
𓏵 he is so overly energetic and enthusiastic when he's with you! (well just in general too, but especially w u ><) he's going to pester the heck out of you, to hang out w him, bcuz he wants to spend all his time w you :( lovely boy <3
𓏵 prepare to laugh to your heart's content when you're with him! cuz he'd always end up making an absolute fool of himself when trying to cheer u up, but it's just the cutest thing :(
𓏵 it's his favorite thing whenever he gets to be with you, no matter what you're doing.. as long as you're spending some time together, he's fine with whatever. he'd settle for simply admiring you as you do your work, finding you so lovely and cute in any and every situation :(
𓏵 he's soo the type to impulsively blurt out how cute he thinks you are, but he doesn't really care if you know that he thinks ur cute. he'll only get shy if it's you complimenting him.. and if he gets shy, he'll be so shy, like. he'll start furiously blushing and hiding his reddened cheeks ໒꒰ྀི∩˃ ᵕ ˂∩꒱ྀི১ gosh he's so so adorable :( </3
𓏵 he'll tell you to find him whenever you struggle with your work, that he'll be more than happy to help out!! and he will always always keep his word and show up for you. he'll be available any time you need him, and he'll make time for you even if he's swamped with work himself.. ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა ♡ he's more than willing to do this much, (and more) not bcuz he wants you to like him (well maybe just a little bit) but because it just comes naturally to him, to care for you and to be there for you, no matter what it is you're dealing with.. he's always so so happy to help! <3 (I'm gonna go cry now if you'll excuse me) T_T
taesan
𓏵 this baby.. I'd actually name him as the shyest one among everyone. he strikes me as someone who'd love just so gently, putting meaning into the most subtle actions/words and only hoping you'd catch on.. what a darling boy.. <3 I can picture just how his beautiful eyes would shift to you the second you appear in his view.. never once leaving your face ૮ / / / / ა shyly looking over at you from a distance, admiring you with the tiniest of smiles on his lips. or even when he hears your name being called, he immediately perks up, searching for you in the crowd <3
𓏵 he'd be so head over heels for you, gosh.. to him you're simply perfect. in his eyes no one compares to you, and he likes and admires everything about you.. if taesan loves you, he'll love you with all your strengths and flaws. and once you enter his heart, he won't let u go 。 ˚. ૮Ꮚ ´͈ ⁄⁄`͈꒱ა you'll be in his thoughts 24/7, he'd hand over his heart to you if you only asked.. he's simply so so deeply in love that everything and everyone becomes a blur when he sees you. you're his biggest weakness and his most treasured person <3
𓏵 he's that quiet, mysterious but interesting boy that never talks to anyone unless it's necessary. it'd seem impossible for him to even strike up a conversation with u as there's no adequate situation. he'll be sad, maybe even a bit envious of people who can just go up to you like it's nothing, and to call out your name like it's just a word, and not his most favorite one.
𓏵 you two would probably only get to talk in the most unlikely situation, like maybe you'll bump into each other by chance somewhere. hmm.. a record store?.. ooh! or maybe an art supplies store! (cuz you know how he's super into customizing his clothes with paint!) in any case, it'll be a bit awkward, sure, but I feel like this encounter would break the ice for your friendship and give him courage to actually start speaking to you. (which he will, as much as he can, if he gets a chance and if he's brave enough <3) I can imagine him replaying the whole encounter over and over in his mind after, smiling at the memory of you complimenting his music taste/clothes.. so giddy at the thought that you, his favorite person, find him cool. how cute, shy little kitty </3
𓏵 he'll be so enthusiastic to talk to you abt different shared interests of yours! you'll get to see different sides of him as you guys get closer. the initially shy, quiet boy will turn into the most adorable, excitable kitty when he's with you <3
𓏵 I can definitely see him being a little clingy too hehe (◠ᄉ ◠υ) he'll want to tag along with you wherever you go, and will send you random videos/memes he comes across that he knows you'll like :( when you spend time w other friends of yours, he always finds himself subconsciously wishing that he's your favorite one.. he just wants all your love :( guys he's so precious I'll cry.
leehan
𓏵 I wholeheartedly believe leehan will be the most adorable while crushing akdhskslksdjd I have solid reasoning behind this btw! just looking at how closely he holds all and everything he likes/loves, I can tell he's someone who loves so effortlessly! idk how to describe it, but his love just comes so naturally.. he fully indulges in the thing/person. ig you could say he's very thorough with how he loves. like idk (this might be a bad example lol but) if we consider his love for his fishies, or the way he cares abt his members.. I just firmly believe he'll carry you in his heart always and gaze at you with a permanent sparkle in his eyes, if he likes you even just a bit.. he's so lovely :(
𓏵 for him being in love would be kinda overwhelming, because his thoughts would always revolve around you, making it hard for him to focus and concentrate. but at the same time he finds it so fascinating how everything reminds him of you, when he's doing his work or shopping or taking a walk or even as he begins his day, you're always there w him! it makes him so happy! ⁄(⁄ ⁄>⁄-⁄<⁄ ⁄)⁄ also kinda shy and nervous, but super super excited as well! <3
𓏵 you know, it's great, bcuz now when he wakes up you're right there in his mind along w his fish friends first thing in the morning! (៸៸᳐>⩊<៸៸᳐)~♡ and he can't help but just bask in the feeling. his heart warms and speeds whenever he thinks of you and he likes the fact that you're the one who has this effect on him. he's so in love u guys, omg…
𓏵 imagine ihan all wrapped up in these mushy lovey dovey thoughts abt you as he feeds his fishies, and he accidentally spills too much fish food.. but he's like all giggly abt it when usually he'd be annoyed at himself.(๑ ᷇ 𖥦 ᷆๑)♡ I'm losing my mind. he'd be so adorable gosh
𓏵 idk why, but I think he's the type of friend that would just randomly get you lil snacks sometimes. like he doesn't know how to express his feelings so he'll try and take care of you in his own way <3 if he knows you're studying, especially. you go to find sth in your bag for a second, and when you look back at the table there's a chocolate bar resting next to ur books. (with leehan across the table just smiling to himself, as if he doesn't know what's going on.. silly baby <3)
𓏵 very big on acts of service w this guy.. especially when it comes to making sure you eat well <3 he loves loves a 1000x adores watching you enjoy your food, and always makes sure he brings along some kind of snack when he's meeting you, just in case u get hungry .°ʚ(〃ω〃)ɞ°. gosh I could d*e from how much he hurts my heart.. precious baby <3
woonhak
𓏵 I've got a feeling that he'd be trying so hard to impress you if he has a crush on you.. ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა baby will do anything to get your attention and to make you smile/laugh! ⊹₊˚✩ he'll go as far as doing the silliest things and spurting the most random jokes to get you to look at him. he'll never let the conversation fall silent, or the mood to go sour. he's the energetic, lively friend in the group, who's (unofficially) been assigned the role of the moodmaker! <3
𓏵 when he makes a joke in a group setting, he's usually doing it to make you smile, so the first thing he does after, is looking toward you to see your reaction.. ૮ ˶´ ᵕˋ ˶აˎˊ˗ if you're smiling he'll be so happy :( butterflies in his tummy and all <3 what a cutie.
𓏵 on the flip side though, he'll try to leave a good impression on you, he wants to look the best in your eyes! he'll tell you all abt his interests and ask about your interests as well, so he can have something to talk abt with you! he'll probably exaggerate on his part a bit, but it's all because he wants you to think he's cool :( <3 if there's something that you share in common, he'll use it as an excuse to talk to you more often. hehe.
𓏵 he might just ask for your number and when you ask why does he need it, he'll explain it's so that you guys can talk about this interest of yours over text.. he's trying so so hard not to let his excitement show when you agree. (but oh my gosh you actually agreed!!!! ໒꒰ฅ́ ˘ ฅ̀꒱১ᦂ) he's probably totally the happiest he's ever been, with your number in his phone now, having the ability to text you whenever he wants.. (ृ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ ) he can't believe you actually gave it to him :( what a baby. (dw tho, he won't abuse this fact too much, he'll only text you when he really wants to talk to you, but he'll also make sure to give you plenty of space! <3)
𓏵 I think woonie would be so annoying when it comes to compliments lol. when you become close friends especially, he gives little compliments any chance he gets. he will always mean them too! (﹡ˆ﹀ˆ﹡)♡ (no matter how random they are) like when he tells you that you're the strongest person he's ever met while playing some game together, or when he takes notice of your new shoes, saying how much they suit you, and when he sees your incredibly inaccurate doodle of some character, telling you how cute it is.. he means it all! ⸜( ˶'ᵕ'˶)⸝♡ secretly finding everything about you adorable. he'll compliment you endlessly, bcuz he just wants you to know how awesome you are and how much he likes/admires you! cutest cutest boy <3 <3

I was going to just write this as a couple of replies but it got. rather kind of long I’m SO sorry (also this is not intended to come off as preachy!! I have no idea where you’re at as a writer I just get really excited about world building and the underlying mechanics of how it affects plot especially when it comes to what is ‘feasible’ lmao I legitimately love talking about this kind of stuff and am aware it can come across kind of forceful lol)
I think people will always be people no matter what society they live in, which really kinda opens the possibilities up once you start letting the setting inform that people-ness. ‘random urban fantasy but with round roofs stained glass and a lot more greenhouses’ can still be perfectly grounded in other solarpunk tenets even while still being urban fantasy. honestly solarpunk IS a urban fantasy already in and of itself, realistically speaking. but even just from a fiction standpoint, urban fantasy is a really wide genre and there’s literally nothing wrong with writing one as long as you’re having fun playing around in whatever world you’ve created.
I think a really good example of this is like. Brandon Sanderson’s works, especially Warbreaker I think. Arguably it’s just another historical fantasy political intrigue, but it’s set in a world where you can share essentially pieces of your soul (I think, it’s been a hot minute since I read it but like soul/life force is the basic explanation), and if you gather enough pieces you can use them to bring inanimate objects to life at your command. (It’s SO much more complicated than this but for the sake of brevity this is literally the simplest way I can describe it lol) The plot, despite having all the vibes of a standard vague historical fantasy political intrigue that could have been done in any such stock setting, is so intrinsically woven into the premise of “this is how this world operates and here are people just being people within it making decisions based off of this shift in reality” that you absolutely 1000% cannot remove it from that world despite the fact that I’ve read many other political intrigues that played out similarly in terms of tone and beat and character archetype (though Sanderson’s characters are also always well done and do not feel trite in the slightest). What makes the entire thing tick, the entire thing breathe, IS the love for the setting that bleeds through and affects every square inch of what otherwise should have been just another fantasy politics novel. It’s just. Fantastically done.
I’m mostly on the same page for low-conflict/high-conflict writing capabilities, and while I haven’t quite figured out the high-conflict yet, what I’ve found with the lower stakes things is just. Figuring out a way to make it FEEL high stakes. Little Maisy lost her doll and her brother must track it down through the streets/various shops or facilities before dinnertime, because it’s an antique that belonged to their grandmother and if mom found out he let Maisy leave the house with it he’s dead meat and will never be allowed to start the apprenticeship he really wants.
If this still doesn’t feel like your cup of tea that’s also fine but idk I view it like. babies. to us their problems are soooooo small like sweetheart you don’t have to cry over this loud noise or that inordinately tall man, but they have literally never heard such a noise before! they have never encountered anyone over 5’9 before! it’s the end of the world for them because everything feels huge. conflict-havers in stories are little narrative babies because they cannot see the bigger picture or the reality where this is not the most stressful thing in their lives. and as writers we just gotta lean into that and validate the hell out of their fears lol.
‘How big of an issue can you create in a solarpunk society, what kind, while still keeping it solarpunk?’ ANY kind and all the conflict, so long as it’s informed by the setting. Sure there’s not big oil or whatever, and there’s no development company tearing down the endangered species habitat to make way for more apartments or department stores, but surely there’s still forces that oppose each other? People who are still at odds? it’s not a utopia, or at least it doesn’t have to be one to still be hopeful. Hopeful settings also don’t have to preclude murder which happens for all kinds of reasons. They also don’t require all society being the same. You could have one region that’s largely a solarpunk society and another that’s very much Not, which is a recipe for all sorts of potential conflict in and of itself.
I really think it boils down to what kind of story do you want to tell? Once you know that, how do you make that story work in a solarpunk world? Not ‘what sort of story is appropriate to set in this world?’ but ‘how do I make this story fit in this world?’ (Think Treasure Island being adapted into Treasure Planet.)
So basically TDLR genre is whatever so long as you’re having fun and your sandbox feels right to you. and it doesn’t matter what level of conflict you’re going for either. I think a lot of the questions posed can be solved with the recipe of: People are gonna people, you just have to let the setting inform the people-ing and the people-ing inform the conflict.
In my experience, most stories don’t ring hollow unless the themes and foundations of story feel forced, which with my own work has only ever happened when I got too in my head about a story fitting a specific mold. which goes for literally any genre. it’s about having fun and letting the passion out to play! once the bones and meat are there then you can worry about if anything needs to be changed to tone up the narrative muscle power
I think one thing I struggle with when it comes to wanting to write Solarpunk stories is like
I like writing conflicts. But I don’t know how to write large conflicts—so something like ‘dismantling the government to install a solarpunk society in its place’ is way too big of a fish for me to fry
But also small conflicts just don’t do it for me. I just can’t stay entertained with them long enough. So something like ‘little Maisy lost her favorite doll and its up to her older brother to find it. Oh btw they live in a solarpunk society’ wouldn’t get past like one page if I tried it
But how fantastical can one get before a society is no longer solarpunk but just… fantasy? How far out of the realm of reality can you get before it just seems hollow? But how close can you stay? How much conflict can you have before your hopeful vision of a solarpunk future is no longer hopeful and no longer solarpunk? How big of an issue can you create in a solarpunk society, what kind, while still keeping it solarpunk? While still having a problem that can’t just be handwaved with ‘that wouldn’t happen in solarpunk’?
And of course logically I know the answer is different for everyone. But like. Still. How derivative can you get, how much conflict can you add, before a story intended to be solarpunk just becomes ‘random urban fantasy but with round roofs stained glass and a lot more greenhouses?’
#long post#writing#writing advice#once again: I am SO sorry this is so long omg#also I did see your tag about maybe deleting later so please let me know if you want this taken down too!!#I can just dump this stuff into another post without yours if u would rather#anyway if you ever wanted thoughts on a premise or like someone to bounce questions back at you about plot stuff I’m so beyond down#like I said this is my shit#like my aim is to one day be certified in it my shit#also didn’t think abt it before and I am NOT writing another paragraph wall now but like.#solarpunk exists as a vehicle for enriching human life#people living in a solarpunk society as a whole would not make that their entire personality#therefore u should not feel obligated to make it your story’s entire personality either. if u wanna write a solarpunk coffeeshop au ?#then FUCK YEAH U WRITE A SOLARPUNK COFFEESHOP AU!!#I know au is like the wrong word but it’s the vibe of it all u kno whatever sjfjgkd#also just saying: a solarpunk murder mystery whodunnit would be so fun#eli.txt#more like eli.wall of text amirite#o it is 5am I’m the world dumbest fuck lmao whatever

I recently read "The Echo Garden" through seeing the fanart you'd reblogged earlier this week. Do you have any other TF fics you could recommend or are endeared to? Any iteration, any ships, no matter how obscure. I am superior ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬
oo okok i've got way too many fics bookmarked,, here are some that are relatively short but sweet and very dear in my heart <3
(all of these are from ao3, some of them require u to be logged in to read <(_ _")> )
(Peace)Time Constraints by Insecuriosity - really fun, shockwave and first aid bonding over being weird little freaks is a dynamic i didn't know i was craving but i'm now convinced of its value
Wireless Connections by stormandstarlight - miko being miko is truly a force to be reckoned with,, soundwave and ratchet are both going thru it and this fic feels so much like the trajectory of a typical episode i love it
Intelligence, or vision, or the truth by Sroloc_Elbisivni - seriously one of the coolest humanformers fic i've read! focuses on hilarious+doomed megop but the worldbuilding of this story goes so hard as well (if you enjoy this author's style, i also highly recommend their Spontaneous Earth pieces!! such fascinating juicy ideas abt alien culture,,,,love it)
Belonging by MeinongsJungleBook - idw bumblebee/starscream/windblade happy end fic,, so so fluffy and sweet,, heals my heart
Connect The Systems, Start The Music by Spector_Author - super cute, fun confession story that i'm including here in order to push the jazterwave agenda,, theyre so silly and slightly dumb and they mean everything to me
Drifting Together by NyonSuperstar - dratchet road trip banter my beloved,, domestic life, close quarters, directionless bickering,, its like the laundry and taxes
An Abstract on Collaboration by Decepticonsensual - two old doctors just being friends <3 devoting your life to healing and helping people in spite of everything,,, having a friend who understands you,,,aghg i love them ;-;;
(physician, heal thyself) by absolute_minimum - ambulon and whirl is another dynamic i didn't expect to become a fan of,, idk how to explain it exactly but the vibes are impeccable and the dialogue is so delightful so ,,give it a read :)
Sari's Mom Has Got It Goin' On by IvyCorp - one of those fics with a premise that feels borderline insane but when you get invested in it you REALLY get invested in it,,, tfa megatron best mom fr
#asks#aaghhf fic writers i love u all so much#seriously i feel like i have a concerning amount of fics bookmarked..;;.wish i could share all of them but alas

i knew i recognized that goblin in ur brain reading abt scientists channie🥵
but i need to know more, like that happened before ch.1? how did they meet? why did the reader decide to be one of channie’s test subjects? are they doing it willingly or were they tRICKED BY MASTERMIND CHANNIE AND-
ahem my apologies idk what came over me there🥲
if you have answers to these clearly very important (read with major sarcasm lol), feel free to reach me at @kpopsstuffs
also, if no one has told you today, you’re hot af, and you got a cute butt (;
🤠🤩🖤
Well, gosh, thank you for the butt compliment (I love words of affirmation).
You know… I hadn’t thought about a backstory. My imagination was just thrown into it already established. It was originally a oneshot, and I might have felt it having captive vibes back then … but I had a little think about it all this morning, in bed.
This is what I believe to be the backstory:
Chris needed test subjects. So he put out an ad online seeking participants, in exchange for financial payment. A lot of females applied, and in the end he selected ten, including you.
The experiments started off well. All pussies were very receptive. But as time went on, his subjects began to withdraw from the experiment. Some of them were just staying until they’d saved enough money to pay for their college debts. Others decided it wasn’t for them.
Eventually, Chris only had three test subjects, you and two others. You were so receptive and enthusiastic that Chris decided to let the other two go and focus all his efforts on you.
When you applied to be a test subject, you weren’t entirely sure what was involved. But in the very first meeting Chris explained what he was working on: making pussies come, and all the ways it could be done.
You were intrigued. So you let him do his first hole inspection there and then. The look in his eyes when he investigated your pussy made you feel alive, and your body wanted him to touch you. He didn’t touch you that first time. He only looked.
Your payment was both in cash and board, and you moved into Chris’s premises within the first week. You spend your time reading, researching, studying, and are just as interested in the experiment as the scientist.
You didn’t know you had these desires inside. The desire to please, submit, endure. You wanted to push your own limits as much as Chris did. You wanted to know how much pleasure-pain you could take.
When the experiments are being conducted you’re submissive and compliant. A good girl letting the scientist(s) probe and play with you.
Outside the experiment, Chris talks you, gets to know you, confides in you. Your relationship has become sexual too, and you often end up in his bed at night.
You aren’t bound to this experiment, you’re not held against your will. You can stop at any time. You can leave at any time.
But you don’t want to. You’re too curious and intrigued, and the pleasure is just too good.
Hope this helps xxx.

What’s your fav AidaIro Tbhk au???
Mines def HKOM / highschool drama
I just love the school mysteries living the most boring ah human lives while Nene and Aoi off on magical adventures. Like Nene and Aoi teleported to the moon meanwhile the human mysteries just doing math homework. It’s peak. Also like joy becoming a wizard? I love that for him… and Nene bashing Akane on the head.
And of course the best part
FAST FOOD WORKER TERU
Ooooh I love this question! It’s such a tough decision but I think I’d have to say the Ghost Hotel. Is it mainly because of Mitsukou cannibalism? Yes but also because it gives me Hotel Transylvania vibes. Aoinene angst + fairy maid Aoi…werewolf Kou…vampire Hanako…Teru somehow still being an exorcist…love it. However HKOM is a very close second, I love the high school sitcom vibes. The premise reminds me a lot of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (which I’m currently rewatching at a very slow pace). Aoi and Nene being secret teenage witches who cast spells and get into shenanigans, it’s so tropey. Again it’s a hard choice bcuz they’re all so good
It’s just that I think abt them so often, Ghost Hotel Mitsukou you will always be famous. My unhinged son and son-in-law (real ones know which is which)

Heyy!! How are you?<3
I just found your blog and I'm so happy I did! So I decided to leave a request for some hc's of the main 4 eddsworld boys finding out the reader is a stoner? Like they'll just get into the house and see the reader faded af and just being extra chill abt everything??
If you don't do multiple character hc's, then the same premise but only for Tord. Thank you lovely :))
Hiya !! I'm doing swell ! Hope ya are to :) !!
And awesome HC idea totally gonna write it out
Hope ya enjoy it ! (And sorry for the wait i've been busy busy !!)
The eddsworld boys with a stoner reader
(gender neutral reader)
Tord
- So Tord is DEF a stoner, you can't tell me other wise. So when he casually arrives home one day a lil earlier than the others and finds reader faded as hell he just fucking laughs.
- He def gets high with reader, he has a collection of funny lil bongs including a anime girl one he spent a shit ton of money on.
- Reader got munchies? He's got ya, he's got his own lil munchie stash in his room.
- Readers first time getting high? He'll call you stupid but help you through it, make sure you don't freak tf out
- You and him probably sit on the couch looking like idiots laughing at the dumbest shit (probably a dumb commercial Tord keeps rewinding back over and over)
Edd
- I don't see Edd as a stoner but he's okay with the 'lifestyle', though when he came back after a cola run and found Reader staring at the ceiling snickering here and there he's very concerned
- " Did Tord give you something from his stash? TORD !! "
- When he figures out YOU are ALSO a stoner he's like " oh "
- He's kinda curious about what it's like sometimes, especially since he's been casually watching you/Tord getting high randomly and looking like y'all are having the time of your lives.
- Careful if you actually let him get high with you, He's gonna freak tf out and get some bad munchies
- If he never gets high with you though he just kinda keeps an eye on you to make sure you're okay
Matt
- He's not a stoner, doesn't even know what a stoner is. So when he comes home and smells something 'bad' in the air he thinks it's a damn fire
- Idk why he thought it was a fire he just did, he sees smoke coming under your door and grabs a bucket and before you even know it he's thrown water in your room...on you.
- He killed your vibe
- He does apologize though at least
Tom
- He used to be a stoner, he kinda stopped after he got into Smirnoff and didn't wanna be juggling both y'know?
- When he comes home and sees you on the couch he just holds in a lil laugh and goes " i know that face, someones tripping balls"
- He MAKES you give him a hit on the blunt/bong/whatever (or an edible if you prefer edibles)
- He's a pro at this shit so he's chilling, and hopefully you are too. But a few mins in he'll get up and grab some snacks for you two.
- He isn't a very giggly high when y'all two are high but he's more 'idiotic', he'll find random photos and think they're the funniest shit known to man kind. He's also very hungry and thirsty when he gets high
- Tord is NOT allowed during y'alls high time
- He takes big breaks when getting high, so if you're a stoner that does it daily or day after day he's not gonna smoke with ya every day. He smokes like maybe once or twice a week? It really depends
Bonus:
Eduardo
- He judges you, but when he sees how chill you are when high he decides to take a hit. He gets mad when he doesn't get high from one hit
- Excuse him he's a lil dumb, you tell him it takes more than one hit and he just grumbles before taking another hit
- Once he's high with you he just sits there, you probably gotta check on him to make sure he's okay
- After that time he gets high with you whenever he can, dude probably needs it tbh
Jon
- He doesn't really understand but he's cool with it ! :D
Mark
- Mark prefers to not be around whenever you get high, it's not that he hates you being a stoner he just isn't into smoking and all that. He does warn you about the bad stuff with smoking though womp womp
Paul
- Dude doesn't care, he probably finds you high in the barracks at the red army base. He probably sits with you and smokes his own cigarettes just chilling with you
- " everybody needs a break every now and then, just don't be high while your work yeah ? "
- If you ask for anything to help get you down from your high so you can work he'll usually help (if he's in a good mood)
Patryck
- Judging
- He doesn't like that you're high during work, doesn't like the smell and doesn't like how you act while high
- gets a lil annoyed if he has to help you walk around or anything
- def never getting high with you, but he's def had a contact buzz before
Yippe ! Hope you enjoyed sorry if it seemed rushed at all

Ok so. This is my silly ass super niche crossover thingy. I drew this a month or two ago probably. Basic premise is that Rika gets thrown back into June 1983 after escaping (kinda like what happens in Gou but different) and her and Hanyuu get the smiling friends to help them and shit hits the fan from there.
I’m planning on maybe making a fic abt it. I’ve drafted part of the first chapter and also various sections later in the plot that I had ideas for, and I do have a very basic outline for what exactly happens. Main thing stopping me rn is mostly just school n how cramped it is in combo with my work schedule n shit.
I’ll probably post some art I made for it I’ve done in a little bit. It’s mostly just out of context scenes/things that happen but yea I think it’s neat (idk if anyone will rly end up vibing w/ it but I think it’s cool)
