Maybe part of what gives me the assurance of writing fic for a thing is knowing almost everything there is to know about the thing. So even me being 👀 at shadowgast, I don't think I could write fic for it bc the critical role universe is so fucking big & I will literally die if I ever get any detail wrong

And so instead I write for a video game I've known for 5 and a half years, which I've played 3.5 times (and largely watched playthroughs for Another time!) which belongs to a game series that I've played every installment of (minus eternal punishment)(& no I didnt actually finish innocent sin Nor persona 1, but shh) so that I can have the assurance that YES I know any lore that could possibly be relevant to this thing, and EVEN THEN I will accidentally have the characters go to school on 2 days when they were not supposed to go to school & I will lie down and weep bc inconsistencies r the bane of my soul and I will now perish

#speculation nation #...#discacc shit #aka 'how are You coping with a very minor inconsistency in your own writing?'#listen im the type who has to double check Everything when writing both with research and word choice #literally how am i supposed to write for smth i dont know better than my own soul???? i cant.#ft me contemplating early 2020 whether i wanted to write sylvix fire emblem fanfic bc i was on a big kick for it then #but ultimately not bc i dont know Everything There Is To Know About Fire Emblem. so lol.#even with p5 when i was going thru p5r i was more and more certain i wanted to write smth for p5. but i was waiting for finishing the game.#and EVEN THEN it started as wanting to write shukita. bc i was big into shukita back in the day. NOT akeshu.#then royal's akechi grabbed me by the throat and never let go.#me planning my akeshu magic prince au as i finished the game. then planning it as i consumed way too much akeshu fic.#then me balking at it and deciding to write a soulmate au instead bc it's a much simpler concept ultimately (even if it's still a Beast)#someday i will return to it. that day is not now.#but yes wizards in love has my soul weeping with joy but i dont think i can write anything for it. not without lots and lots of study #i ALSO need to have read a wide variety of fic so i know what's there so im not accidentally repeating smth too overtly. bc lol #i try to be careful not to steal ideas from ppl. bc it feels very shitty when that happens to u #:)#not being salty about smth literally years old by this point. no sir. of course not. :)#i think. it is time for me to go to bed maybe.#....or i could look at more wizards in love. hmmm. hard choice.
