[crowsent]

👶,⭐,💘, and💻. Love you!!

thank you for ask anon! writer ask game is here if yall wanna send in something. still taking asks for these btw

👶- advice for new writers =

yall this is hella fucking generic but PRACTISE. theres a reason almost literally every writer on tumblr gives the advise of “practise practise practise” and that reason is it works. practise doesnt mean ‘oh just write bc youll automatically get better over time’ it means ‘write bc if you dont, you wont figure out what you need to improve.’ did yall know that i literally had no sentence variation in the past? i started every sentence with [character name] or [character pronoun] and i didnt realise until i was 15/16 and i only realised bc i started writing a lot.

i think there’s a fear of failure with new writers. there’s this lingering doubt of  “what if its not good?” and boy howdy i will answer that question right fucking now. it wont be good. when i compare my current work to my earlier work, my earlier work sucked fucking shit. i spelled soldier with a fucking ‘j’ and i had no idea what the hell a point of view was. and thats okay. whoever tells you that youre going to perfect writing is a fucking liar. there is no perfecting writing. 20 years from now, imma look at the writing from today and im gonna think it sucks shit. writing is a process. its a craft. you get better and better over time and the way you get better is by experimenting w different styles, different genres, different ways of writing.

and the only way you can experiment and improve is through practise. in video games, especially rpgs (which are my favourite kind of video games), you struggle in the early game. youre at a low level, you dont have good equipment, you have a hard time moving to the next area. but the only way you progress is by grinding, gaining levels, and getting stronger. same w writing. if youre a level 1 writer, just starting out, no idea what to do, just experiment. fuck around a bit. write crackships, write rarepairs, write niche self-indulgent reader/character fics. at the end of the day, you should write for yourself. its good and cool if other people like your stuff and validate all your hard work, but at the end of the day, the one who should enjoy your writing the most is yourself.

you WILL mess up and you WILL struggle, but thats the only way you can improve. i struggle with pacing the most. still do. but others might have pacing down pat and struggle instead with word choice or pov or something else. cant figure out where you need to improve if you dont write, so just practise and worry about all the fine print later

⭐️- how do you get your inspiration? =

this is definitely not universal, but i just sit on my bed, close my eyes, and meditate. cycle through all my emotions and thoughts and filter them out. then i just toss everything out the damn window. like. id just meditate for a while, focus on breathing, on experiencing the present, picture a field and a tree and myself and breathe. thoughts fly by and i let them happen but dont focus on it.

meditating gives me some semblance of emotional control bc i normally have none, and it gives me kind of this space. this safe space that only exists for me and me alone. so i use that space to let the world drift away. just me and my thoughts and sometimes, those thoughts end up being good writing ideas. but i usually meditate for a set amount of time. like 15 minutes or 30 minutes so i dont write until i finish meditating.

then when i get out of my headspace, i open up my laptop and see what i remember. thinking too hard about something causes it to muddy up. same with art. in digital art, artists flip the canvas to refresh their eyes, see if there’s anything weird or wonky about the illustration that they normally dont see bc theyve gotten used to it. flipping the canvas is like giving our eyes a jumpstart and lets us see what we could do better. in traditional art, its turning the canvas this way and that or repositioning yourself. meditating is like that. a break. a cleanse. a kind of pause where you dont think about anything and just try to process what you already have. you relax and kind of let yourself float down a river of thoughts and sometimes, a fish would jump out of that river and youd go “hey, thats a good idea. i should try that” so when you get out of the river, youre refreshed and ready to go.

same principle with showers. more ideas come to you in the shower when you dont have anything to write with bc youre not thinking about it. youre not focusing on finding inspiration or motivation so ideas naturally flow through you. you know that feeling when you want to do x then someone comes along and says “hey you should do x” and suddenly all motivation to do x leaves? same w your brain. focus too much on “i should be writing” or “i want inspiration” and its never gonna come. just let things happen. at least, thats how i do it. some people might get inspiration by reading or watching tv. everyones different so if thats not what works out for you, dont feel pressured to try my method

💘- what’s your favorite AU? Least favorite? =

magic au. specifically fantasy au set in like a pre-modern era. shows like avatar where theres all this magic and fantastical beasts and so on and so forth. semi-modern like six of crows and nevernight are great too. i want that magic to be woven into people’s lives. harry potter is okay but there’s like this separation between magic and muggle. there’s this feeling of “magic” but like as a tool. like a spoon or a gun or a shovel. i want magic au’s that are INTEGRATED with the world its set in.

like in atla, earth kingdom people have trains they move with bending while fire nation people have machines powered by heat and steam. both correspond to their bending and makes sense for the world they live in. but if your plot is like harry potter and its less worldbuilding and more action, then there’s this book series called seasons rising (read it. so good) where there’s a bunch of spells but the spells have character. the people using the spells GIVE it character and it feels much more intimate. pokemon does the whole fantasy mixed w reality better. give two trainers the exact same pokemon and by the time that pokemon reaches lvl 50, its gonna have a different moveset, different fight style, etc bc it was shaped by the world and people around it. i like harry potter but tbh it could have been so much better

for the least favourite au, it’s A/B/O i dont like the whole “omegas are only good for breeding hurr durr” and “alphas are violent and aggressive and cant control themselves around omegas” thing and it squicks me out. major squick. i read the original harry potter squick (THAT one. yeah. you know the one) and i still hate a/b/o more. i get why people like it, and there are one or two fics set in a/b/o au that i enjoy reading, but as a whole, i severely dislike a/b/o fics.

the themes are squick, the character dynamics get so messed up, and shipping dynamics (bc a/b/o fics usually have shipping) just get so blown out of proportion. there are so many a/b/o fics that turn ooc or the character interpretations radically change or something else. no hate against a/b/o fans bc yall are amazing for writing/drawing yalls au. there are things that you can only do in this setting and exploring those things can be incredibly fun for people, but for me personally, its not an au i like to visit.

💻- three works of yours that are must reads =

i. dont know what fandom youre in anon or your genre preferences. so ill just rec you one fic for a different fandom each with kind of different genres. ts masterlist is on my side @hufflepuff-deceit and regular fanfic masterlist is on my writing blog @crownonymous 

(BNHA) Viper. its my first serious attempt at fanfic in YEARS and its my baby. currently has 7 chapters, i havent updated it in a while bc im hyperfocused on ts rn, but i love it to bits. its just all of my fav bnha fics crammed into one fic. quirkless kind of villain izuku with stain as a mentor as they work together to bring light to the injustices of hero society and where bakugos bullying has visible and long-lasting repercussions? sign me the fuck up. you can read it on ao3 HERE bc its not on tumblr. kind of fast-paced, has a lot more action scenes than anything else ive written. heavy plot-wise but has a lot of humour and comedy to break things up

(Kimetsu no Yaiba) I Pray To God He Hears You. not related to my other kny fic oleander which is a multichap retelling au. iptghhy is a standalone one-shot and kind of a character study on one giyuu tomioka. i love him so much. giyuu is my baby and i adore him. so of course i wrote a sad fic focusing on him. well technically, the fic focuses on giyuu AND his relationships.  SPOILERS for chapters 130 and 131 of the manga. focuses mostly on giyuu and sabito, but there’s a fair bit of giyuu and tanjiro and urokodaki.  you can read it HERE bc this is also not on tumblr. also deals with heavy things but more emotion-wise since it doesnt have that much of a plot. loss. grief. moving on. survivors guilt. that kind of stuff.  very sad. hurt but with comfort, especially at the end.

(Sanders Sides) Logan’s Birthday Fic: Logicality. just what the title says. i wrote 5 different fics and published them all on logans bday but the logicality one received the most feedback and honestly? the cutest of the bunch. its gonna be crossposted onto ao3 but for now, you can read it HERE on my ts sideblog. theres no plot since its literally just domestic and relationship fluff. and puns. patton is in the fic, theres gonna be puns. nothing but good things and warm feelings bc logan deserves it.

thank you so much for such interesting asks anon! i enjoyed answering these. have a lovely day!

[tooruiwa]

hello! it’s okay, I hope everything’s been sorted or at least getting better 😣

kldlfksakl I rarely read manga/ webtoons so I don’t really have that issue BUT I feel you there: there’s a novel I really like that got adapted to a manga but I haven’t gotten around to reading it because I don’t… like… the art… 😢 I prefer the snk anime art style to the manga one too so I guess I’m fortunate there 😅

omg I’d really want to go back to school one day too… but I don’t really know what I want to learn like there are so many things!!! what field are you trying to get into now?

I studied something similar to international relations (but not 100% similar) and now I’m working… in the design industry 😂 not as a designer though, something like a project manager. it’s… not related at all to what I studied HAHAHA but I did do a bit of designing for fun back when I was in high school and uni for like extra-curricular stuff so I guess that’s the only link

guess what I binged all the hq episodes in 5 days HAHAHAHAHA and I’m like… hyperfixated now 😂 I’m sooo late to the fandom 😅😅 but omg the characters!!!!! I get what people say now when they say that hq has really good character development and I can’t figure out just one character I like the most because I like so many of them and their growth over the episodes 😂 I usually pick shows to watch by synopsis and genre and (ofc) seiyuu and back then I didn’t watch hq because I don’t usually go for coming of age / non-fantasy / school-related shows, and rn I’m just banging my head against a wall for not starting it earlier 😭

I LIKE A LOT OF VOICE ACTORS TOO HAHAHAHA AND YES I’ve watched anime solely for the voice actors before too *cough brocon cough touken ranbu* and yES miyano mamoru and nakamura yuuichi and suwabe!!!!! the first time I heard miyano was through vampire knight (lol) and when I watched subsequent shows with him in them I realised how much of a ham he can be lmaoo 😂 nakamura yuuichi and suwabe are really so distinct!!!! their casting in jjk was perfection tbh like nakamura as gojou and suwabe as sukuna?!?!?!?! toriumi kousuke as well!!!!!! besides these four I also really like onod, sakurai takahiro, tsudaken, and ishida akira (hiS RANGE when I learned that ishida akira would be voicing akaza in kny I was like YESSSS)

I usually prefer action, fantasy, sci-fi! might or might not be related to my need for escapism cough cough 😐 I do watch/ read a fair bit of bl but yes… agreed that sometimes the portrayals aren’t exactly accurate/ beneficial/ helpful😔

I’ve finished your gift! I’m so excited for christmas to come so that I can post it hehehehehehehehe I’m also in a much earlier timezone so you’ll probably see it on the eve instead 💃🏻

questions of the week!! what is/ are your favorite creation(s) that you’ve made? what are you currently reading and/ or watching?

~your animanga secret santa ☃️

it has!! i'm doing better right now, thank you <3

ohh you're a novel reader?? i have read only a few ones bc of mangas/manhwas that i've read and liked and wanted to read a deeper version of it, so i read the novels but i can't really concentrate anymore reading books rip (although i do reread pjo every year lmfao) but yes i understand!! it's ok to be shallow like this <3 i'll also not watch a kdrama of a webtoon i liked if i don't really like the actors lmfao it's entertainment, so we're allowed to be picky!!

i'm gonna try for visual arts!! i love art and i've always wanted to study/work with it, even though i have many problems with me doing art bc i don't think i'm good enough and etc, but i've been having a huge crisis this year and my therapist keeps kicking my ass every session, so i decided i'm too old (although i'm only 24 lol) to not try the things i want. i do have a technical degree in graphic design though and i'm studying ux design right now, but the quarantine also made me really miss actually going to school and seeing people lmfao the uni i'm trying for is a very good one (and free) but the exam is soooo hard and i haven't studied basic school things since i finished school 8 years ago lmfao like idk anything about biology and geography and history anymore lmfaooo i'm good with numbers but i suck at theory and it's too bad that history is what counts the most for my exam and i hate history ;;

oh a project manager!!! that's classy, how adult of you LMFAO do you like it?? i've thought about working as it before bc i really like... managing stuff lmfao i'm a control freak

YESSSS WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!! ANOTHER HAIKYUUER HAS BORN!!!! d-do you like oikawa? ;; people either love or hate him and you can be honest with me bc i'll then be honest with you and say that if you hate him it's because you don't understand him. LMFAO (i'm kidding but not really, i do hate people who hates oikawa, but that's only bc they're so loud with their hate and they use the fanon version of him to spread hate and it's usually coupled with absurd lies and overstatements lol). but yes!!! all the character developments! really *chefs kiss* like it's so funny that it's a story about hinata wanting to play ball and they all grow so much because of him while he also grows so much because of others. i love haikyuu. and really!! even if u only liked horror anime you'd still like haikyuu. the only ppl that dislike haikyuu are the ones who haven't watched/read haikyuu istg

i see i see, another one who went through the brocon hole only bc of the seiyuus lmfao OMG YES love the jjk cast as well!! man, onod and sakurai takahiro...... i forgot that kuroshitsuji also has many great voice actors... onod, sakurai, miyano, okamoto nobuhiko, kaji yuki, terashima takuma, fukuyama jun, suwabe and toriumi and SUZUKI TATSUHISA I LOVE THAT MAN. his range too!!!! like the difference between makoto from free and ranmaru from utapri... great amazing love to see it. and his bandddd, love him and taniyama kishou and their bands and all ops/ends they do for anime!! also love the casting for free lmfao

have u ever watched karneval and/or servamp?? my mind is a wild place and there are some anime i think are very similar even if different genres. kuroshitsuji (shounen), karneval (josei), servamp (shoujo) and yuukoku no moriarty (shounen) have the same vibe to me for some reason lmfao then a little to the side and not as similar i put vanitas no carte and pandora hearts lol yes yes i get you!! i read so much romance because irl i hate anything romance related lmfao man there's this trend in bl that makes me so angry that it's a weak ass mc and all the love targets treat him like shit and they're all so obsessed and possessive and it's so toxic and unhealthy but this happens soooo much. there's this manhwa being published called finding camellia and it's a girl pretending to be a boy and the whole romance plot is EXACTLY like a bl. random guys liking her for absolutely no reason and acting like she's an object or a prize that they must win. i hate it lmfao i read so many things but i get stressed over 90% of them because i do read so much romance shit and most of them are such bad portrayals of what good relationships should look like :/// (on that note, i did read here u are and i loved it before the plot went somewhere else and i dropped it a few years ago lmfao also i swear yuyang is absolutely based on gusari's version of oikawa. gusari/kizu natsuki used to write so many doujinshis of haikyuu and her oikawa is really specific and yuyang REALLY reminds me of that oikawa lmfao) lol so i just googled it and nowadays more ppl think the same, but back in the day no one was talking about it!!! me and projecting oikawa into everyone else LMFAO

YAY i'm excited to see it too <3 i'll probably have a bad christmas with my family, so i'm counting on you to make me happy that day!!!!!!! no pressure though, i get really happy over small things people do for me <3

aw man on my kpop blog i've been tagged to do this 'list your fave creations' thing and i ignored it bc i don't know lmfao since i don't have anything on this blog yet and i'm not gonna bring back my 2014 anime creations from another blog, kpop it is lmfao

this, this, this and this bday sets i've made are some of my faves! like you can really see my ~kpop gfx style~ through these lmfao

i really liked this one too bc it reminds me of old gfx we used to make back in 2012~2013. and these gifs took me soooo long to make but i think they looked really nice at the end!! i suffered making them and i actually wanted to make of all svt members but i couldn't do it lmfao

i read so many things at the same time that i couldn't tell you even if i wanted to lmfao but some i wait the most for a new chapter are bnha, kono oto tomare, bsd and beware of the villainess!! i'm only watching kny at the moment, but i did watch all of the way of the househusband recently! i love the manga soooo much but idk if i really liked the anime or not lmfao the animation was... interesting. it felt more like a drama cd with images then an anime but oh well

what about you????
