#even if I’m a slow writer?

[elevenenthusiast]

[lemoyne]

i feel like everyone else has really said what needs to be said on the subject of femme muses, but i want y’all to know that you deserve to feel comfortable on your own blog. your femme muses deserve the same energy and hype as masc muses. if you have to put rules in place or block people, do not feel bad over that. it’s truly ridiculous that any of us have to continue worrying about hurting someone’s feelings simply bc we want femme muses to be acknowledged. and if you’re one of the people getting upset or dismissive over these concerns, pls think about that. pls think about how you view femme muses and how you treat them. there’s an ever-present bias in the rpc, and i don’t care if it’s gotten better — it’s still an issue and we’re all tired of it.

I think that pacing is truly the most frustrating part of my writing process. I crave a slow burn!!!! But how slow should I make it? Should it even be burning yet? Maybe I should write an exposition about the matches first, that way I can lead into the flame— no don’t leave stick with me

I’m going to be late on today’s post. Sorry! I’m already at 3k words, and I can’t imagine I’ll be able to finish the request before 9pm, even without breaks. TT^TT

Edit: writing Simeon’s part took me forever (to be honest, my brain is a little foggy). So I’m going to aim to get the new request (MC giving flowers to the others) up tomorrow afternoon/evening, but I guess that kinda works, since it is a bit Valentine’s Day-ish.

FINALLY FINALLY finished the vampire fic (why would I call it by its actual name smh) so just have to finish editing it and have a friend proof read🙇‍♀️

We’re gonna ignore the fact it’s nearly 3 am while I type this but I’m gonna for once embrace my true cringe-I say as cringe is dead-and admit at least here since I said it on twit but not everyone follows me there that I’ve been cooking up a getter crossover fic with mega man ZX of all things. Why? Well next to mega man being what truly sparked my obsession for robots and ZX is my favorite series of the franchise there is a scary amount of similarities between the two that a crossover unironically fucking works well. Like I don’t think it was anything intentional, ZX definitely has some mecha influence like every other mega man series but it was more so (obviously) inspired off of toku if we focus on an genre in Japan. However both in a way can be boiled down to “humanity’s future is tied directly to machines” and “destiny is my path to choose” in terms of narrative themes so they legit stick together sososso well.

(also I noticed like- Arma!Kei and Go and Ashe and Grey are almost scarily fucking similar minus Ashe&Grey actually getting to know each other since that sadly doesn’t happen-in the manga they do meet but they aren’t related rip-in game but I might need to save that for a different post even though it’s not at all in the au since there’s no place for it I just I rotate it constantly)

Me and my beta reader were so insane enough that for nearly a YEAR we figured out this au because it was just “what if ryoma but in ZX” for the longest fucking time I’m not fucking exaggerating because it’s a semi trend of mine to want to throw ryoma into other series even if I’ve mostly restrained myself with this 💀 But when the fic is up I will likely be tagging it under ZXG so it’s easy to organize so yeah.

I didn’t know about this years chreon week until now (and if I did see it I forgot it). I need to write a little something for infected. Infected Leon is my jam

[jeonghantis]

[shmothman]

[adara-writer]

Ao3 is moving really slowly today for some reason, but I just wanted to say that chapter 7 of silver shackles is posted! I can make a better post later, but I posted it an hour ago and it doesn’t look like the subscriber emails have been sent out yet

[eternal-watcher]

I mean if we are giving Danny the other clones as kids why even De-age Ellie and Dan

Let the kids have their chaos Aunt and Murder Uncle

More clones

people need to add more of the other clones into their deaged & destabilization plots.

Danny not knowing what cores are quite yet so all he sees are these stones that are left behind by the Clones that he just saw die. He picks up the little Stones as kind of a reminder of the Clones that never got to live. When Ellie and Dan do destabilize, he then realizes what the other cores are. 

Like just imagine someone meeting Danny who's about 21 who has six kids that call him Mom. If anyone does the math it does not look good.

Even if it's not Danny saving the other clones, it's a misunderstanding mentioning the other clones like they're his kids. I saw a post that had them as a miscarriage misunderstanding and I do like that idea too.

The reason people don’t want to work is that it’s just normal for them to be in bad work environments.

My issue with working at Walmart wasn’t the work itself I was doing. It was the circumstances around it. The concrete floor, lack of places to sit, having to put up with asshole customers, not getting time off for injuries, and bad pay.

If I had been given shock pads to stand on or a few chairs to rest on sometimes, if they paid me a livable amount of money and I was allowed to yell back at asshole customers, if they had given me any amount of training, I would happily work part time folding clothes all day and telling people where the swimsuit section is.

I’m a creative type. I’m a writer. I’m pretty smart, even. But if I could make a living folding shirts and listening to podcasts in one ear and helping people find the scented candles for 30 hours a week? I would. Leaves some mental space free for me to brainstorm. Lets me catch up on my reading with audiobooks.

But instead I was treated so badly by upper management and customers that I’m like legitimately a little frightened whenever I step into a Walmart now. And I only worked there for three months a few years ago.

I’m a good lower level worker. When I’m treated well. I like finishing tasks. I like being helpful. I like having some time to talk to coworkers and some time alone with my thoughts. I’m a frickin team player. And that’s how I was at my first job. I was treated well by my supervisor. I was trained. They were patient with me. I was so good at being low on the totem pole at that job because I was valued and felt like I was being listened to. I was able to sit still when there was nothing left to do which made it feel less bad when we were on a time crunch. I didn’t mind working hard at that job because it was fun even though I was doing all the low level stuff that the supervisors didn’t want do.

But at Walmart I was like that for all of two days. Then I figured out that nobody appreciated my work and if I worked in my normal people pleasing manner I’d kill myself because their standards were high and the rewards for meeting them were low.

So I slowed down. I started avoiding customers. I started taking a lot longer to get to my breaks and to come back from them. I became worse at my job because no matter how good I was at it there would be no reward, no appreciation, and I’d just be pushed further beyond my limits.

My only level of happiness from that job came from the people who were working with me. The old ladies and my department manager who made sure I wasn’t overextending myself. The one other young man working in the clothing department who always got sent with me to unload the heavy stuff and commiserated with me about the shoulder injuries, the hurting feet we were too young to have.

But none of that was enough to make me stay. We were constantly understaffed. I was constantly abused by customers and not able to do a thing about it. I was not paid much at all. So as soon as I had enough saved up for what I was trying to do and my last semester of college was about to start I handed in my two weeks.

I would have found a way to stay if I liked that job. If I liked that job I would’ve pushed myself to my mental limits to finish college and keep that job at the same time. Heck that job could’ve been a rest from college. A place to get away from it. But I hate that job so I got out as soon as I could.

I want to work. I want enough money to live sort of comfortably. I want to have some tasks to do to give my creativity a rest. I want to be a part of something. But the way that modern corporate run work environments are set up does not give me any of the things I actually want out of a job. And I think that’s the same for millions of people right now. A lot of people would happily spend their lives as a waitress or an Uber driver or a warehouse worker or a farmhand or any other “low skill” job you can possibly think of. But with the way the world works right now those jobs are absolutely miserable. It doesn’t have to be that way. I know because I’ve had a fulfilling part time minimum wage job that I looked forward to going to every week. A job where I was listened to and allowed to sit when I needed to. I miss that job. Especially now since I’ve realized that’s not the standard. It should be. People should look forward to going to work or at the very least not get mild ptsd whenever they set foot into a Walmart.
