WHAT'S THE STARVING KING
(omg anon this is the cutest ask 😭 yes you can… as a reader insert)
This is an idea that has been ping-ponging in my brain since late last year and has regularly returned to my conscious every quarter moon 🤧
Yes, this AU is about HT!Sans… one where he used to be a medieval king that ruled decades to a century ago before reader’s time, and through one way or another got cursed to be constantly hungry. His hunger was so ravenous that it overtook him and made him so desperate he started devouring his subjects, and once that happened… what is a king without his subjects? Despite his kingdom decaying into nothing, he stayed. Half dead. Still hungry.
The story begins as reader’s first encounter with the legendary Starving King (as he’s been nicknamed over the years) as the castle servant, unfortunate enough to be present when he comes knocking on their gates.
#this guy has been in my brain on and off#and i jus#havent had the focus to write it#i imagine him as big with big coat over hisw shoulders that make him look bigger#scaring everyone who sees him#ask#ask game#man. just writing that little blurb makes me Really wanna write it now jkdflg#inbox#but um yknow#if you wanna ask about him THATD BE GREAT#HEHEHEHEH

just a lil bit of a share ! i’ve been feeling really down lately about not writing that much 🥲 and keeping up with posting more frequently/updating a few of my series more regularly 🥲 but i looked at my masterlists and noticed almost 60% of my fics are actually from this year and we’re only half-way in 🥺
anyway ! the point of this is, if you’re being too hard on yourself today, i hope you’re reminded that you’re doing much better than you think 🥺
#i always feel a little disappointed in myself when it comes to my writing pace bc i rlly wish i could write faster !!#i have all these events (that i do plan on finishing and getting through! i will be true to my word!!)#and long/big fics that i had high hopes for but have not gotten to yet#and while i still hope to write faster i think i’m still pretty happy with the progress i’ve made so far 🥺#i’ve explored tons of different characters (which was really intimidating for me at the start!)#and i kind of also found my style~ 🥺 which im really happy abt!#still loads of exploration to do but yes 🥺 slowly trying to get back into the writing grind 🥺#working on collab pieces with niku and working my way through my ficsforgaza fics!#while also trying to edit and reupload my iwaizumi series 🥺#anyway this is also why i havent been on the dash much / in inboxes / or interacting as much 😭#it’s kind of how i discipline myself (?) like. when i need to focus on writing i limit scrolling as much as i can 🥲#i talked so much again

I'm starting to think it's almost impossible for me to write something for Merlin and Leon to not be a main character if not THE main character
#everything ive managed to even partially write out for my soulmate au has leon in it#for all the people whos introduction to my writing has been this au and was expecting me to focus on... you know... merlin or arthur#you are mistaken#dont get me wrong! theyre both characters that are in it! but leon is my favorite character and he has a death grip on me even now#an idea has wormed into my head and i have no idea what to do after it and how to explore the ramifications#its very angsty#im half convinced it has happened because i made the comment to myself 'i havent had any meaningful merlin leon interactions in this#yet' and uh. i created an abomination per usual#even when hes not immortal i cant resist killing leon a little bit; as a treat for myself#bbc merlin#merlin#sir leon#liv writes#(i will not perma kill any characters that dont die in canon and even then i will fight very hard to not do that even then)

Snippet Sunday
another werewolf!spirit snippet for your dogboy desires this week
I hardly ever write in third person, but for whatever reason, that's how this fic has decided to present itself
He's getting increasingly worried, every transformation. He feels the wolf's hunger, he wants to devour Stein. It's begun leaking into his normal days. His senses becoming heightened, a movement or scent from Stein will always catch his attention, even several rooms away.
Spirit listens as Stein’s class gets out, he can hear it even from the deathroom. He hears a distinctive click followed by a whiff of acrid chemicals before burning away to the smell of nicotine and smoke.
tagging @chickycherrycola @vulturebeetlesnake @scythe-daddyy and @takeyourcyanide if yall have anything you'd like to share :3
#snippet sunday#soul eater#spirit albarn#franken stein#crossstitch#steinspirit#my writing#werewolf!spirit#i haven't forgotten about dragfic#i just sadly havent had the focus or motivation to reaquaint myself with what was happening in order to be able to work on it#its still very much on my mind tho and i want to get back to it just fyi in case anyone was wondering

is aotm going to be a macthinker fic?
Not exactly. Accident of the mind is (from what I'm planning) is going to end up dissolving into more of a character-dynamic story between those two freaks, so there will probably be hints of it but it won't be intentionally romantic.
#clemramble#this reminds me i need to GET TO WORK on it... i used to write the drafts during my classes and now all of my classes are focus-heavy so i#havent had the time. well i have but i draw instead of writing#i feel like when i talk about them or draw them i always end up leaning more towards a romantic side.#mainly because when im drawing macthinker its...yknow. ship art.#but just like every other dynamic. i like them *outside* of the ship. i like them as individuals and i like their dynamic without the#shipping aspect. theyre fun. being so similar yet so different because of their environment and circumstances#and so with aotm I kind of want to play around with that more#actually i want to play around with that more in general. like that one short comic i did a while back#however that being said. i feel like theres not a definitive line between certain emotions and feelings. so if you end up looking at it and#going “well theres macthinker aspects in this”. id just reply with “yeah probably”#but if you want a more definitive answer: they wont be snout to faceplate or bugface. if thats what you want to know#actually i guess i could word this as: romantic macthinker? not planning on it. weird-truce-frenemies macthinker? yeah

I do find it so funny that I will graduate college days away from my birthday. Like my birthday is literally in between the end of the semester ("graduation") and commencement
It really will be like a joint graduation & birthday party for me lmao
#speculation nation#i dont really do birthday parties anymore. havent in a long time. mostly just go out and do smth fun around my bday. ya kno#also have cake but like not in a party way. just like. here's cake lol#but im probably only gonna graduate from college once. which means i might as well live it up and all.#invite all sorts of extended family and people who have known me. etc etc.#actually it just kinda sunk in that i am. Computer and Information Technology (Systems Analysis and Design focus) w a minor in Communication#like those are words. it's a lot of words but actually it really is pretty accurate?? like that's indeed what ive been studying.#now how much i *remember* is another question. considering how long ive taken to get thru school lol#but that's what people will see on my degree. that's my Thing. graduated in Computer Systems and Talking.#idk it's just weird to have spent so much of my life on this and like That's the culmination. it took so much work.#even beyond a normal 4 years. i switched my major *twice*. switched my minor too.#first year engineering to undecided liberal arts (as a temp major trying to switch to computer science bc i couldnt stay in FYE)#but then computer science sucked so i switched to trying to get into computer & info tech. which is different. and better.#and ive been in it long enough now that ive kinda forgotten but it did take some fuckin work to switch into it.#like i had to take certain classes first & i couldnt take them during the semesters that in-major students would take them#and i had to have my gpa up to a certain level etc etc. so many hoops to jump thru. i think it took me at least a year. or more. idr#but i made it in and thats my major. thats my thing. computers and information systems and communication.#doesnt FEEL like im an almost-graduate. but then i think about all the things ive taken and learned.#and maybe i dont remember a lot of the more specific things from these classes. but i took core lessons away from each one.#wont be able to recite the theories but i can live them. and thats the point of an education i guess.#anyways im gonna have to start job searching before too long and eughhbb. need to get my license first tho probably.#which i will... i will.... i have so many things to deal with... my life will be So Different in a year...#it will require me to put in the work now. but i can do it. and then a year from now. i'll hopefully be in a better spot.#living somewhere else. graduated from college. with a license and a car. maybe even an IT job of some kind.#kind of scared of trying to find a Big Boy Job. aka a job that requires a degree and networking and all that shit.#rather than just showing up and being like Hi i can do this job. i am not a total drain of a person. hire me please 👍#hfkahfks so many things to think about. and through it all i am still dealing with DEADLINES...!!!!#but yeah this is why my writing has largely been put on hold. idk i have a lot of things im dealing with rn.

in hindsight it *is* hilarious that my writing has went from "I have never stopped thinking about (and wishing I could replicate) the sheer hype of the RULES OF NATURE scene in metal gear rising revengeance" to "I'm putting an image in your head that this man has his hands deep in the other's ribcage and the beating of the heart you feel wet on your skin is a metaphor for emotional closeness. this is what kissing is like"
#there is something to say about growth being reducing the scale of what i want to do and laser focusing it down to...#borderline expressionism. deep subjectivity. up close and personal with the emotions. i dont even know if i could call it growth#you (tumblr followers) havent seen my writing at all but i'm thinking about the contrast between a very old now-lost writing I had of#what is practically a boss fight and trust me if i say it was pretty cool (i have no proof of it)#compared to a very recent (done today at midnight) character study#noticed that I tried trimming out my word use. succinct and punchy > verbosity#even in art i dont do wide scenes anymore just close and personal stuff#cw mild gore#there is something to say about this shift in focus#or maybe there isnt and being idle at work is just driving me mad (thank you server maintenance)#jars speaks#i honest to god dont remember if that was my original rambling tag

according to letterboxd i've watched 261 films this year (not counting un-logged films and the couple of weeks left to go)
so despite being tripped up in my plans by suddenly speedrunning doctor who these last couple of months, it's not been a bad year on the whole:
watched my first horror exploitation films -- "cannibal holocaust" and "last house on the left." I cannot say this genre will ever be a favourite, but there is a fascination to the uncomfortable feeling of realism in both of these
overall I watched much less horror this year, partially because I spent october travelling, so didn't do my usual one-per-day themed watch. out of these "lair of the white worm," (generally want to go down more of a ken russell rabbithole next year) "ravenous," (the best cannibal film that nobody's ever seen) and "nightbreed" (the other clive barker directed, which, listen, it may have flaws but it doesn't I tell you, this is a perfect movie!!!) stood out the most, but was also positively surprised by both "return of the living dead" (which, yes, was schlock, but very enjoyable schlock) and "the ritual" (I was expecting to like the ritual, but not for it to feel incredibly personal somehow -- the underrated of the two horrors I know of about english-speaking tourists with trauma trying to recover in the swedish wilderness, by far my favourite!)
also, finally watched the original "the exorcist" which... argh, you know when people say "this thing is really good" and you go sureeeee whatever, it's ruined by the hype and the way you talk about it makes me think I'm not gonna like it, and then you watch it and it's really good dammit!
also, i was convinced I watched "nope" last year, but it may be this year. I watched it three times this year, and I didn't log it last, so that means I get to go ohhhhh "nope" is just a movie of all time, it deserves the future cult status it's gonna have, I've been yelling about it with @le-red-queen because finally finally someone I know has also watched it why does it feel like my friends are sleeping on this film????
also! "prey"!!!!! ohhhhh the future of horror looks bright! my favourite predator film, including the first one. it made my brain buzz, it was beautiful, it's incredibly blunt statement that the predator is barely a threat compared to rapidly expanding colonialism, the lead's journey is stellar and painful and punch-the-air and... great film
I got to spend a lot of january watching a film festival that centred on movies by indigenous people "from Turtle Island and around the world" (as it says on the website -- definitely and understandably mainly around america and canada). favourite of these was "honey moccasin" a fascinating little comedy movie that maybe predictably hooked me because it also had a queer focus within its portrayal of community
also at a local queer film festival, got to see "wildhood" a movie about a gay multiethnic mi’kmaw teen, who goes on a roadtrip looking for his mother -- think this is probably one that would be difficult to find otherwise, so youknow... check out local film festivals you never know what you'll see!
have gone on several rambles about "great freedom" and "joyland," movies that I watched relatively close together that have basically haunted me all year, acting as comparisons to nearly everything else I've seen -- think they've put ideas about queer stories in my head that are exemplified in a lot of queer writing and avant garde film-making, but often isn't seen on such a big scale, budget and quality-wise (this not to say the small-budget films are less worthy, it was just a bit heady to get to see these two and be blown over by their largeness). also something about a film that takes place in post-wwii germany and a film that takes place in modern-day pakistan feeling like they belong together to me. they're thematic, philosophical, political kin
got to go deeper into todd haynes, with "safe" and "poison" (yes yes we're super late to the todd haynes dive, but sometimes you just want to rewatch velvet goldmine a million times forever, so it takes you awhile to get to his other greatest hits). very excited to watch his latest film, sad i can't see it in theatres
watched quite a few queer documentaries, including "lotus sports club" (about a football club in indonesia run by a trans man, that provides a safe place to lesbians and trans boys), "you don't know dick" (interviews with trans men in the 90s), rose von praunheim's "transexual menace" (a sprawling, seemingly random depiction of trans people in the US -- a million amazing portraits), and "kokomo city" (a documentary about black trans women sex workers, directed by d smith, who is herself a black trans woman, music producer, excellent writer -- the way this movie is edited is so Vivid and you can tell there's so much freedom to really say things than in work that isn't community led. the philosophy, the politics, chatting while in the bath, that familiarity, that openness!)
in more classic musical news, got to see "the court jester" (only mildly a musical), "on the town" and its thematic successor "it's always fair weather," (gene kelly on rollerskates), and fiddler on the roof (finally) -- enjoyed all of them! shockingly low on musicals this year, but I intend to get inspired by @fabiansociety's list for the upcoming one
a few surprises for me were "streets of fire," which I've become mildly obsessed with, for being simply The Coolest Film you never watched as a kid (baby willem dafoe biker gang leader + music written by the guy who wrote for meatloaf and fleetwood mac??) it's just a straightup good time and also did this thing of writing a male role, casting a woman in it, and accidentally giving us a butch lesbian (with a line to make it seem like she had a boyfriend one time, but like... that doesn't take away her butch cred),
and also scorsese's "kundun," which I had no idea what to make of, because it didn't feel like a scorsese film at all. I think I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with scorsese in that I think his movies are frequently gorgeous, but his focus is almost always to the left of the people that interest me (that is, everyone around the white guys with guns who yell a lot). kundun is about the dalai lama and it is. very very anti-violence in its depiction of the invasion of tibet, because the POV is a pacifist who's shielded from seeing the violence, so the three scenes that briefly depict it are all the more shocking. and like... scorsese seems to have been coming at this movie from the perspective of education/plea for the freeing of tibet? which, yay, but... unexpected movie, that is all. also they speak english, although the actors are tibetan, including the grand nephew of the dalai lama portraying the dalai lama (I think this movie shouldn't be in english, but that is very cool). strange film, definitely watched a bootleg dvd copy with a completely wack aspect ratio that I couldn't format on the screen, but sometimes that's how you've gotta see something
a few classics. saw "jeanne dielman" for the first time, then utterly failed to describe it for everyone I talked about it with. I feel like saying "three hour long movie about a woman's repetitive life that is slowly, but surely, about to explode" is... idk, maybe it's going too much into detail. pointing out the static camera, the near-lack of dialogue, the scenes that simply consist of her sitting, and people instinctively go "oh that's a gimmick." but I also think if one can herald something like "orphee" or anything bergman did or "stalker," then this is not so off-putting (I found stalker to be a lot harder to focus on actually, which surprised me considering its subject matter). I know a lot smarter people than me have pointed out that what may truly be disturbing to people is the fact that we're following a life in such detail that isn't considered a valuable/interesting life to follow, especially not for so long. and that is... well that is just our internalised sexism. it's a good movie
this turned out quite long, but wanted to sit with some of these movies for a bit. I'd rec all of them, depending on personal preference and limitations
#i think next year.... well i have a list ofc so there's the list#but specifically east and south asian cinema was quite lacking this year#watched a few favourites + another wong kar wai + joyland but i didnt go as deep as id have wanted to#and then also musicals would be nice#death in the gunj im still gonna see if i can get in this year#there's a few films that also really sat with me that i havent mentioned here because... idk.... indescribable feelings#i also had a point for truffaut but tumblr decided to cut me off after 14 for some reason? wouldn't let me hit post on anything longer so 😂#400 blows and small change were the ones -- movies with a focus on children's rights#literally wouldn't let me write any more within the points either... this is new...#cinema#film#queer cinema#me

So I've started working on my lore bible for my story to solidify everything into one document and refine the revamp into something more than just scattered ideas and random research
It's SO much fun... im a couple hours and nine pages in and having a blast :D I need to import all the old information esp on characters that's stayed relevant in the new version and then it'll just be filling in holes and making everything make sense and line up well (that's what she said) and I think I'll have something solid enough that I can use to reform the plot beats
#the original story had most of the plot laid out but it was so messy#i think translating that story to the new one will help me make it feel a lot more solid and narrow my focus to what I really want to write#idk I think it's on its way to being so much more defined and better structured and im excitdd#requiem mass#<- still havent come up with a good replacement name but the first one took 8 years so

I feel like I need like two straight weeks off of work and with 0 responsibilities and not even because I need A Break but because legitimately I don't know how to be at home and do anything other than wait around to go to work anymore
#i havent had a sense of routine in months and being at home just makes me feel anxious and crazy bc i dont know what to do with my time#even though i hadnt been working much for some of those weeks!! i still just. waited around#i feel guilty and antsy if i try to do anything at all#like i wanna write or draw or watch a movie or something but sitting down to do it makes me antsy and i cant focus on anything

hoping tomorrow with the combination of day off + snow + cold weather blanket coziness that i can magically bang out some serious firewatch au progress
#putting this out into the universe so im more inclined to follow it#i think my issue is once again#that in order to finish chapter 11 i need a serious chunk of time to focus and write the rest all at once#it's the type of chapter that is difficult to write in 30 min and 1hr chunks of time in the evening before i go to bed#i've gotta put in a 3k word session to keep the momentum and flow instead of chipping away 300 words at a time#and i just havent had that combination of time + inclination in weeks#but tomorrow....#with chapter 11 and 12 i keep trying to slowly work on them and inevitably every time i do small progress i end up deleting a redrafting it#the only parts of the chapters that have survived are the ones i wrote with hyperfocus in one sitting#cause they are the ones that flow the best and keep the thread of events consistent lol#(i also have to delete maybe 300 words of what i wrote on 12 earlier in the week bc i dont like it. i lost the spirit of the scene i think)
