#how much i’ve written since then

[lifblogs]

Over 3 weeks since The Bad Batch ended, and it’s felt so much longer.

"as time passed, we gradually began to feel that the worst was over. we still had to heal our physical and mental wounds, but we really started to come back to life."

look at these images that are seemingly unrelated to each other. what do you see?

Okay I'll bite. What happened in this guy's childhood to make him go to the extensive body-destroying lengths to bring his mom back??

-Sky Floor

His father left and his mother was wonderful to Edward and his brother, they loved her very much. But in the 2003 version, she died, possibly from being heartbroken over Edward’s father leaving. She was sick for days and finally passed away. In the brotherhood version it was definitely an illness that passed around Risembool (where Edward lived) and his mother caught it and she died. He and his brother missed her and Edward wanted nothing more than to bring his mother back. He thought he would use alchemy to do it, but human transmutation is very illegal because of how dangerous it is. Alchemy is dependent on equivalent exchange, and it’s practically impossible to bring someone back to life. So Ed lost his leg, and Alphonse lost his entire body. Ed couldn’t lose his little brother so he connected Al’s soul to a suit of armor, losing his arm in the process.

Oh but don’t worry! His life gets so much worse :)

one of the worst feelings ever is wanting to write but your hands hurt too much or the words just don’t want to work so you just sit there staring at a half finished doc with tears in your eyes bc you want to write and you need to write but everything is telling you that you can’t

does anyone else feel like they need to Make Fan Content That Is Also Good And Interesting in order to make/keep internet friends so as to be worth other people’s time

[kidrat]

10k is actually a lot of words to edit. That’s like 40 book pages which is like a tenth of a big book. And I have so many 10ks to write for this project. More than ten for sure

[yannfredericks]

saw legally blonde again the other night so once again thinking about the legally blonde yolly au I want to write one day <3

-polly is elle woods and yann is emmett forrest, obviously

-the musical has them so perfectly set up as bewildered by each other but drawn together nonetheless and then fierce, fierce friends who would do anything for each other and support each other unconditionally

-yann being bi would also be giving polly advice on how to get her ex back and what usually works with him for guys etc (or maybe she has an ex girlfriend???? something to think about)

-polly finding herself and her power through the law but also her deep rooted (but previously more subconscious) desire to help people and make the world a better place, especially for those who are marginalised in society

-they’d both befriend karl, craig, rose, albus and scorpius along the way!!! the gang found family core

-something funny to me about turning yann fredericks into mr “I don’t go to parties a lot, not good use of the time that I’ve got” ….there’s probably a scene where they do end up at a party together and polly is shocked by how hot and competent at it all he is and he’s like ‘I said I don’t go a lot, not that I don’t go at all’

-the bend and snap / gay or european turns into both yann and polly performing the bend and snap in front of the witness to test if he’s gay and when he’s only paying attention to yann, yann is both smug and proud of polly’s instincts, he probably makes some comment about how he can’t comprehend people Not looking at her

-it’s the genuine friends to lovers of it all!! they are obsessed with each other, they become each others closest and fiercest friend and they both know that there’s something more there but their friendship has become SO important they’re worried about compromising it (also yann thinks she’s still invested in getting her ex back and is trying to be supportive)

-something something polly chapman proposing to yann fredericks just feels deeply right and real

You ever look at a post and think to yourself that this is the third time now that that specific person’s post feels suspiciously like a subtweet? What a fun feeling to have! Definitely not making me want to scream right now :)

[alovesreading]

nothing more frustrating than wanting to write but being entirely unable of writing something good and cohesive 🫠

[regscupid]

genuinely how do you guys sit down and just. write

[lume-nosity]

trying to beat the lume-nosity is ia allegations with my own two fists accompanied with a batminton racket as if that’s the brightest idea

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

so… ao3 year in review, huh! this was a good year for me for writing, mcyt content really sparked my brain and i wrote FAR more than i had in the last few years. this post is gonna be mostly mcyt fic, hence why it’s here, but there’s a bit of blaseball left too.

i found the photo of the friend that i was looking for-written for the boston flowers fic exchange commemorating the return of blaseball (heh….), fluff about the flowers being friends and sharing photographs

space’s blaseball poetry collection-exactly what it says on the tin! i joined my school’s poetry club last fall and wrote a lot of poetry about blaseball in that time. (i’ve written a bit of mcyt poetry too, maybe i’ll post that someday)

stop me if you’ve heard this all before-empires s2 cannon divergence where pix is the only survivor of the other universe blood sausage was in and he gets brought to season 2. i swear to god this will be done in the new year, i promise.

would you mind if i tried to take a pass at it?-my longest fic to date and the fic i made this account for in the first place so i could post shipping and people wouldn’t be weird. you all should thank wither husbands for my presence in your life (/j)

just put your sweet lips on my lips-really living up to my ao3 username on this one with a second fluffy wither husbands fic, this time with an established relationship!

i still taste you on my lips, lovely bitter water-i intended for this to be SLIGHTLY cannon divergent and then realized i’d made up an entire piece of empires lore in my head by accident. read this one it’s good.

but when it comes to the end, you’re just the same as them-clock duo are messy as hell and i love that for them. if you could bash someone’s head in with a clock in minecraft impulse would’ve made this fic cannon by now.

men are fools, oh, men are frail-one of my favorites this year about martyn, the end of liml, and misleading prizes. very excited to write more treebark for the title exchange.

she says i’m spread thin, but baby, i’m just restless-deceit had me by a chokehold for a month and i still really like this HOWEVER legundo follows me on tumblr and vaguely implied in his end of the year stream that he reads at least some fanfiction. terrifying.

never forget number 46-another one of my favorites this year, partially because it’s so deeply self indulgent and partially cause it’s GOOD. read my blaseball au even if you don’t know anything about blaseball come closer i promise.

how to rest-the first in the perpetuity/secret life crossover series inspired by @wooshofficial and @betweenlands ‘s ghost fics that wasn’t supposed to become a series. lmao. the third installment will be here shortly.

it’s not something that you put to bed-the second installment in this series and the last of my top 3 fics this year. something about jimmy and chrys’ personalities were so fun to write together and allowed me to play in a very interesting space with him.

so what’s in store for next year? probably a lot of stuff that i don’t know of yet! but definitely on the docket:

blaseball winter exchange fic (will be going on main ao3 and blaseball side blog if you’re interested)

whatever fic(s) i write for treebark title swap (hoping to write at least two!)

second chapter of “stop me” i SWEAR

more blaseball au! i’ve got so many ideas floating around :)

and a million other things i’ve got ideas for that may or may not see the light of day, who knows!

happy new year, everyone!

forever wishing sam fender would unrelease dead boys

Re ur tags about worrying about having the perfect snippet for wip Wednesday/weekend: 1. Totally absolutely feel that, but 2. I literally posted a snippet the other day and realized I had straight up written the scene wrong based on my outline and realized I was gonna have to rewrite that but literally a minute after hitting post. Which DID feel very shitty, except then I realized that if the fic changes between the snippets I write and what actually gets posted, that means people get a glimpse into what some of the editing/revising process entails, which I also think is really cool!

Anyway, obviously it's still hard and scary to put raw/unfinished writing up on the internet for everyone to see, but at least for me I know I'm never expecting polished sentences from wip snippets, and part of what I enjoy about then is getting to see people in the process of creation, which is always gonna be a little messy!

(about my tags on this post)

first of all thank you so much for this because I got in my head about it all, like ridiculously so and this helped a lot!

I’m sorry about the scene you had to rewrite that’s annoying but you’re so right, seeing other peoples process and what they post for wip stuff vs finished fics is so interesting, like actually love seeing that

that’s something I’ve been scared off because some of the fics are so messy and discombobulated right now I’m not sure if anything will stay the same. But like you I don’t except anything polished or like a special scene from wip wednesday/weekends I’m just excited about people writing in general and I do love seeing the small little glances whatever they are. I think I just need to remember that these aren’t like previews or supposed to reflect the entire fic but literally just motivation

[welcome-to-green-hills]

Do you think that you’ll do a short story or something about movie shadow and crew? I ask because I like your writing and art

Aww! Thank you, Darlin’! I really appreciate this!❤️✨

I’ve got… three SCU stories in my Google drive that I want to finish writing. However, I’m afraid that I don’t have a whole lot time due to work commitments and running my other blog. I’m sure that I’ll be able to get one of them done to share sometime this year. I would love to share more content here!
