@galexyvalkyrie inspired me. and also happy birthday to @acadieum
After they saved the end of the world, life tended to get mediocre. Not that Taako was complaining, there was something inherently satisfying about waking up in a home he owned. No longer would Taako have to go gallivanting about Faerun with the Boner Squad hoping he didn’t get punched and died. And Taako was not a morning elf.
Now that Angus Mcdonald, boy genius and the Greatest Detective in the World was living with them, he had to start school. Lucas offered him a position to work in his school, but to the surprise of everyone, Angus insisted on attending middle school. He wanted to have friends his own age, Angus had reasoned. Taako couldn’t care less, so long as his boy was happy. It only meant he would have to restrict his investigations to the weekends, which was no problem for him. Angus always had his homework done early, giving him ample time to do his work and be home by dinner.
It wasn’t often Taako or Kravitz walked Angus to school. He was happy to walk himself to school. Sometimes though, it was nice to escort him there when Taako had somewhere to be and plenty of time to get there. Rarer still did both of them walk Angus Mcdonald to school.
It was a nice autumn morning, just starting to get chilly enough in Neverwinter for the leaves to fall off the trees. Taako, of course, had to look fashionable no matter the weather. And if his pantyhose was enchanted to keep his legs warm, then it was easy enough to walk around in a short skirt. At Taako’s insistence, Angus was bundled up to keep out any chill, complete with a cute little beanie to cover his ears. Kravtiz didn’t feel the cold. The perks of being dead with a conjured body.
Angus walked between the pair of them, talking animatedly while holding his latest science project in his hands. Lup and Angus spent hours making a recreation of the human brain. By the time they finished, Angus had a startlingly realistic brain made of floral foam. Complete with little labeled toothpicks and everything.
Taako and Kravitz left Angus at the gate of the school, watching him run into the grounds to meet up with his group of friends. They were just ready to leave when a teacher walks up to them, her arms full of books and binders. Probably an overachiever, if you asked Taako.
“You must be the Mcdonalds!” She says cheerfully, carefully extending a hand as far as her armload would let her. “Angus is such a good student, so bright.”
Taako recovered first, slipping on his classic movie star smile that won the hearts on Sizzle It Up!, gracefully shaking her hand. “It’s Taako, darling.” Kravitz hastily introducing himself, looking bemused.
Neither of them had a real last name, Taako jokingly saying his last name was a variation of his first, but it wasn’t on any official papers. Kravtiz was, well, dead and had no need for a surname. Only Angus had a last name, between the three of them.
“I’m Cathy Sterling, Angus’ science teacher.” She explains. She was tall for an orc, her arms probably as thick as Taako’s head if she flexed. Taako couldn’t believe she was a science teacher of all things, and not player in fantasy WWE. “My wife Jodie and I both adore him.”
Taako snorts, flipping his braid behind his shoulder. “Of course he is,” He says, inspecting his nails. “I taught Ango all the magic he knows.” Cathy nods, practically beaming.
“I thought so.” She says, looking to the main building when a bell rings. “Well, that’s my cue to go. I have homeroom.” Cathy shifts the items in her hands, stepping inside the school “It was nice meeting you.” With that, the orc woman trots across the open expanse with the other students. She towered over them comically.
Kravitz turned to Taako, looking more than a little bit amused. “Mr. Mcdonald, huh?” Taako swatted his chest playfully, hooking his hand in the crook of his arm.
“We can make it work, homie.” As Taako and Kravitz walk away from Angus’ school, he quite likes the idea of it.

This is very short, im aware, but its supposed to lead up to a longer chapter also, my friend wrote the last few paragraphs and I edited it, so give her credit 😌
⚠️ this is purely fictional and not how I imagine baekhyun to actually act. If you feel like you're in a situation like this please run and report it. I do not support this behavior.
It was starting to get on your nerves. All this staring you and Baekhyun were doing. If you so blinked, you felt like you would lose an imaginary game. Yet your eyes watered, screaming at you to give up because Baekhyun sure as hell wasn't going to look away anytime soon.
"For someone who hates me, you always seem to stare at me for no reason." He chuckles, keeping his eyes locked on the way yours stared daggers into his. "I dont blame you though. I know I'm a pretty sight."
"As if." You snort, "Pretty, but a terrible personality."
"Ill take the first as a compliment,"he smiles, "As for the other, how could you judge when you barely know my personality?" Baekhyun says.
"I know it enough. From last night to this morning, you're not a very friendly guy." You say, "But in a way you're probably right, I mean, maybe youre a nice kidnapper." You shrug, grinning at the way his eyebrow raised.
"I hate that label more than you think." Baekhyun shivers, "It makes me feel icky inside."
You roll your eyes the best you could without looking away, "You know, I figured out why you looked so familar."
"Oh really?"
"Mhm," you sipped the hopefully-not- drugged juice Baekhyun had given you earlier, "Youre that mafia leader everyone talks about. You've killed hundreds of men and you feel 'icky inside? Thats hard to believe."
Baekhyun finally averts his eyes with a greedy grin.
"Can't a man feel a little bad for what he's done, kitten? I've taken a pretty girl away from her family, shouldn't I feel bad?"
"What about the men you've killed? Shouldn't you feel bad about that? Oh wait, no you shouldn't because after so long it becomes a second nature. You do it without thinking." You snap causing Sehun, who stood just to the side of Baekhyun, to stare at you with wide eyes.
Baekhyun looks at you with full amusement, trying his best not to snap himself, "Its business." The subtleness of the sentence made you think maybe he was hiding something. A burden or a secret. Both even.
"Thats not business." You say, "I'm not the only one with a family, those people you killed do too. I despise people like you."
"Im sure you do." He says, "But its just the way it goes. I have my reasons."
"Reasons..." You scoff, "And what about me?" You begin to wonder, "Is this the way it goes? Or is it your own selfish nature thats keeping me here?"
"Youre asking a lot of questions, kitten. Kinda making me wish that drug lasted a day longer." Baekhyun mutters the last bit.
You avert your eyes, instead, staring directly into Sehuns who had to cover his mouth so he didn't laugh, "Answer my question." You looked back at Baekhyun, "Why am I here?"
The man seated in front of you rolled his eyes, "I dont need to answer your foolish questions." He begins, "You don't need to know."
You mumble, "Youre a bigger bitch than I thought."
Sehun finally laughs at your words, repeatedly apologizing to his leader as he's holding a chair to keep him from falling. "You have no idea."
"Sehun," Baekhyun growls, "Leave."
The man does as he's told, walking away as he's holding his stomach, still laughing away.
As for you and Baekhyun, you shrunk in you seat under his gaze, knowing he's going to do something you won't like.
"Come here." His voice was stern and you knew better to not do as he said right now. You ambled towards Baekhyun sheepishly, his piercing gaze was set on your nervous frame. "Sit." Baekhyun patted his lap, completely ignoring your shocked face. "Now."
You hesitated before cautiously sitting on his lap, Baehyun basically forcing you to straddle him only so he could talk to you face to face. You had to stop yourself from putting your head in the crook of his neck out of embarrassment, you wouldn't hear the end of it if you did.
"We need to lay out some rules." Baekhyun wraps an arm around your waist, getting dangerously close to your bottom. "I can't have you using that tone of mouth with me anymore."
"I dont think so," you disagree, "Just let me go and ill pretend like this never happened. It will save you the trouble of making useless rules."
A hand slid over the curve of your ass before he patted it gently, "Thats not how it works, kitten. I'm never letting you go until the day I die."
Your brows furrowed at his possessive tone, hoping that he wasn't being serious and only saying that to scare you.
Little did you know.
You know you needed to get out of here and fast. However, Baekhyun had this place guarded to the max. You've noted the cameras hidden in corners of the room or even in least suspected places like in clocks. Then there were his men that seemed to never sleep as this was their only job. Even if you did escape that, there's still a possibility that Baekhyun will find you again.
An escape plan is close to impossible.
"Kitten." You hummed though in deep concentration of planning your escape, "Y/n."
"Im listening, master." You joked, using the name in a teasing way only for Baekhyun to roll his eyes.
"If you're listening then repeat the two rules i just said." His fingers danced on your hips with a grin. He already knew you didn't know, but he liked seeing your face drop.
"We are not having rules. I refuse to even follow them."
Baekhyun poked his tongue against his cheek, "So you do like punishments then?" He mocked the frown on your face with a pout, "Thats cute. Maybe I should bend you over my knee."
You weren't even surprised anymore, getting used to the stupid shit that came out of his mouth. Still, there was a visible scowl of your face, annoyed and dissatisfied, "I hated it the first time, I will not let you touch me like that again."
"Mhm, that is if you follow the rules. You don't seem to be good at listening to me." The soft hands on your hips turned into something more sinister as his hold tightened. "The first rule i said was to call me master. I've let you go a few times when you called me by my name, but I won't again. Next rule is to stop calling me rude names."
"Calling you names is one of my personality traits."
Baekhyun chuckled dryly, "Dont test me."
You blatantly stuck your tongue out. Ignorance was your best friend ever since you've been kidnapped and brought to his mansion. Though this best friend could stab you in the front.
"Please end the rules at two, its a pain to hear more." You figured Baekhyun wouldn't be as pliant and let it stop here, but it didn't hurt to ask anyway.
"No. Next rule, stop swearing."
It was easy for him to say than for you to follow. But this shouldn't be a shock to you, its like Baekhyun wanted to see you bite your tongue as you held yourself back from cussing him out.
"Next one, dont attempt to run away from me. You won't get far and even if you do, ill find you and you'll regret ever doing that again." Just the tone of voice he used could scare you into submission and obey his orders. Obviously you had been thinking of an escape for a while now, and with Baekhyun making sure it was off your mind, maybe you just couldn't do it. Or maybe you could with some sort of help. Your phone- no. You remember him taking it earlier today and putting a bullet through the device. He wasn't playing any games with you but you were still thinking of ways to beat him.
"How could I escape if you've got this place guarded to the max? Its close to impossible unless I want to be ripped to shreds by a bunch of your men."
"Oh they're not going to hurt you." Baekhyun grinned like the devil making a deal with an innocent soul.
Foul play.
"Dare hurt me and ill end you." You say with full meaning to your words. The man before you just as serious.
You should've been careful enough to not cross the lines. It would've saved you the pain of having his fingers threaded into your hair, pulling hard enough to make you gasp and cry at the sharp pain.
"All bark and no bite," he laughed in your face, inching closer until you could feel his breath fanning your face, "You don't seem to realize the power i have over you, kitten. Watch your mouth."
Baekhyun pushed your face away as he let go of your hair, staring into the side of your face as you bit back the tears in your eyes.
Why were you about to cry? You couldnt tell if it was the vicious grip he had or the fact that you'd be stuck here longer than you thought. But in all honesty, it could've been both. You missed being home. You missed your parents. You missed your sister. You missed your boyfriend. What did you do in life for this mess to happen?
"We'll end it at that." Baekhyun brushed the hair out of your face as you sniffled back tears that would slip at any second. "I have some things to do so why don't you make yourself at home. I'll have Sehun keep an eye on you."
You instinctively got up once he pat your thigh. This would've been your chance to attempt an escape but with Sehun, you knew it wouldn't happen. He was too loyal to Baekhyun to let you run away.
Guess you'll just have to run when they least expect it.
You stay in the kitchen as Baekhyun walked out, thinking to yourself. In the moment, you didn't process what he had said just earlier. Does he really plan on keeping you here forever? You wouldn't put it past him, only caring about himself is all he's good at. Great, and you can't even be left alone to think about how to run because Sehun has to watch over you. Like you're going to do anything in the first place. Its still too early to make a move.
“What are you doing?" Sehun questions you as he walks into the kitchen. You were still standing there lost in thought, probably looking crazy.
“Just getting some water...” You came up with an excuse, an obvious fake laugh erupting from your lips. After getting a glass of water you turned to Sehun.
“Do you really have to watch over me? You know damn well I couldn't escape even if I wanted to." You snapped at Sehun who grinned at your words.
“Oh trust me, I know you couldn't. But i can't disobey Baekhyun."
You rolled your eyes and mumble, "Disobey Baekhyun my ass..."
You walked back to your room with the glass of water in hand, Sehun not far behind. As you enter your room, you came up with an idea.
“Sehun, I want to get changed." You said in a monotonous voice.
“Clothes are in the closet to your left” He said blankly as he turned to face the wall.
“Yeah no. Get out." you glared at him.
“Fine.." Sehun sighed. “But you only have 5 minutes” You watched him leave, shutting the door behind him. You sat on the bed and sighed. You have to get out of here, but how? There's men surrounding this place from the inside out. There can't possibly be that many men though, there has to be some sort of flaw in that insane man's system. You plan on figuring that flaw out, so you can escape from this place and run far away.
You quickly change into comfortable clothes and yell for Sehun to come back in. He makes his way to the small couch in the room, pulling out his phone to play a game. You watch him for a while before it dawns on you that Sehun could be useful for your escape. Since he had information about the mafia, you could ask him a simple question.
“Sehun." You call out innocently as he hums in return. “Just how many men protect this place?"
Sehun doesn't even bother to look up from his phone to answer you as he opens his mouth, “A couple hundred, plus a few men around through the city." He smirked, "It's impossible to go unseen if Baehyun wants you.” He knew what you were planning.
You sigh. It was only a small question that barely hinted to an escape. How is it possible that he caught on that quick?
“I know, I know.” You flopped down onto your new bed. Looks like Sehun is going to be no help, so it's all up to you. You were going to find a way out of this place no matter what.

second part of that long ask from ur swf anon :)
after the main dancer was chosen for each class, they would complete the choreo and decide formations for their performances. one of the benefits of the main dancer was that they were always center. they also had the benefit of wearing more embellished clothing to stand out (most noticeable in x class, where rian the main dancer was wearing orange while everyone else was wearing green). here is the full list (mnet truly has the WORST camera angles, so i only included the full cam ver of the performances):
1. assistant class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF2evLz98h4&ab_channel=MnetTV
2. leader class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srjJzRVVmxc&ab_channel=CHANNIECHANNEL
the judges shared that even though no:ze was the main dancer/in the center/had the most shiny outfit, they didn't really see her. all the other dancers, in their opinion, stood out and overpowered her.
3. sub class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY_3E7W8v30&ab_channel=CHANNIECHANNEL
4. x class (i'm not sure what this class was called): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC-_8fbn_s4&ab_channel=Whatthejess
judges shared that lip j was the stand out of this class. she's the girl on the far left at 0:36. (it was originally her choreo but rian was chosen as the main dancer so that's why she is credited.)
*i only included comments that were stand outs.
-
i'm not sure how much creative input the main dancers were given regarding stage design... they didn't show it in the episode so i'm assuming that mnet just told them to show up and perform (because like, the rainbow thing they shot at the end of the leader's performance seemed so random? it didn't match what they were doing). after each performance, the main dancers from each class were asked to pick someone who they thought was the worst dancer. in doing so, the person chosen would lose points for their crew.
judges also chose an mvp crew they thought were the best. prowdmon (monika + lip j + others [sorry i don't know their names. the show really only focuses on these two]) was selected and this gave them the advantage of choosing which crews went against each other in ep4. so, it wasn't a random lottery draw! in the episode, they only showed the part where prowdmon chose to go against wayb (context: no:ze, the main dancer from the leader class, chose monika as the worst dancer. and this made her mad so she was like we're going against wayb - no:ze's crew). i'm not sure why they didn't show how the other crews were paired up. because ya, coca n butter + hook is definitely an interesting match.
also like, wayb was eliminated from the show after ep4's mission.
-
and it seems like from here on out, there will be a mission each episode to determine who will be eliminated. i'm honestly not too sure. for their next mission, they're doing a mega crew mission and mnet doesn't really explain it; but it seems like each crew is doing a performance on a larger scale (with more members added to their crew). also, like mnet is ass and doesn't upload all the performances onto their channel..... they only upload the ones that were the most popular/had the biggest public reaction which is why i had a hard time finding the clips for the classes mission. hopefully they do from here on out.
another v long post. thank u again for reading and sharing ur thoughts! always love hearing them. (also, pls let me know if i'm oversharing. u mentioned not caring for the competitive nature and drama so i'm not sure if i was adding too much. there really isn't drama imo. mnet tries to do their best to edit and make it seem that way but when u watch the show, the girls truly root for each other and are friends.)
mnet truly has the worst camera angles i hate them so much. also why are they still streaming on a goddamn potato. the quality is SO bad i can barely see anything!! there's a lot of me complaining in this one i'm sorry in advance.
1. assistant class
i have to assume that whoever they chose as the main dancer is the one that stays in centre because i cannot tell from the clothing at all. i don't think she was a standout performer here, but also the camera and the fire effects are WAY too wild to actually get a good grasp on who even was the standout. i also have to assume that the dancers have no say in the design because design is not a big part of street dance and this kind of chaos screams m 'too-much-money-dont-know-how-to-use-it' net. they built this massive set, barely used it, and didn't leave enough room for the proper formation spacing!! ugh. i hope the judges actually got to see a locked off version of this without all that fire in front of the camera because if i were them i would be squinting down the end of my glasses like a grandma at the screen. that's what i was doing anyways but still.
2. leader class
i have to agree, i don't think noze stood out as the main dancer here. and geniunely i cannot tell that they embellished her costume more. like damn, that stylist took a masterclass in subtlety, because i was easily paying more attention to whoever was wearing those massive thigh high cutout garter stockings and woven bodysuit combo. i am assuming that the point of these challenges was probably to be noticed the most so that they can score points and pick who they went up against for the elimination round? i'm not entirely clear but my point remains; ngl i don't really like this method of creating performance because it means that no one is there to create a performance, yanno? troupe/group choreo like this thrives on teamwork to actually make it a good performance. i know it's a pretty classic method of weeding out people for auditions and stuff like that but personally i find it a wholly uncompelling viewing experience, especially when it's a fully produced stage like this. i know everyone very likely gets along behind the scenes but the incohesion of intent is very obvious. also what's up with the assistant class getting a massive set and the leaders getting a bunch of cars and some smoke pyrotechnics? i mean, i am glad they filmed it during the day, but i am confused by the disparity.
3. sub class
i wish i could describe how poorly mnet shot this. it's not a fucking mama stage, it's a dance stage!! we need to see the choreo properly!!!! and together!!! obviously i don't care about stitching together different takes for the final edit but just...not having a continuity at all in the choreo is a bit jarring. again, i am also not sure how one is supposed to evaluate how well these dancers did, because i can barely see what people are doing. or who the main dancers are. i know i'm railing a lot on mnet here but i can't give an accurate reading of the dancers because legitimately it is so hard to tell what's going on. if they want to bill this as a legitimate dance show, why are they shooting it like a kpop performance? the camerawork for kpop serves a specific function: to add to the visual spectacle and to highlight the idols' faces. you don't need either of those things for shoot choreography, so why do we keep getting closeups of dancers' faces? not that these dance videos aren't spectacle-y or fun, because they very much are, but they really suck at their one primary function, which is displaying the choreo.
4. x class
this is definitely the one where the camera work is the closest to what it should be, but then they go and fuck it up by adding rain! just the groundwater would have been fine, but noooo they had to add the extra rain so there would be extra water drops on the lens!! this is my favourite choreo of all four of these, i think there's the most cohesion and (excluding the rain) it's got a good mix of spectacle with the water and the blacklight and the right camera angles to show the choreo mostly well. i still don't understand why they cut in those sections that don't fit with the rest of the flow though. why. you could have one-taked this and it would have looked dope as fuck. i agree that lip j stands out the most, obviously it's her choreo so it's the best suited to her character and abilities.
---
if it wasn't a random lottery draw they should at least have the courtesy of showing people why who picked who!! that's the most interesting part! and i'm not that surprised about wayb being eliminated, prowdmon really stomped them into the ground with that revenge energy. i'm interested in this larger scale performances concept, because i'm not really sure what that looks like in this particular context. if they do end up on youtube i will review them! and you're not oversharing at all, the context is fine! i don't mind reading it as information, i just don't like actually watching it with my own eyes. i can't watch that kind of thing in reality tv because it makes me want to sit everyone down like a kindergarden teacher and go "ok, now why are we all yelling?". too many years of tense rehearsal conflict negotiation and i just want to whack everyone upside the head. it's not very cathartic for me lmao. i have no doubt that everyone is friends because dance scenes are small and i'm sure they've all worked together lots, but even just the editing sets off my fight or fight reflexes.
#street woman fighter#swf#swf reviews#yes i did mean fight or fight i have no flight reflex#i only know violence or advanced conflict management#go into theatre they said. costume design is fun they said#little did 18yro me know i was going to be yelling at actors for eating in costume and trying to convince directors out of stupid ideas#for 90% of my working hours#anyways swf anon i'm sorry this is mostly complaining and not really talking about the dancing#i will try to do more of that for the next episode#for a show supposedly about street dance there's not very much street dance? even the battles are kinda wonky#they dont follow the rules very well and theyre skewed waaaaayyyyyy more towards musicality/showmanship than technique#which is the opposite of how battles usually are graded. i know that it's likely because they don't have actual battle judges#(no disrespect to boa. but i don't think being a battle judge has been a career calling for her)#but its still a bit hmmm for me. i know the idols and the connection to the idol industry is probably what's bring in the views but#it is a very different industry than the street dance one#text#answers

I love u pls teach me how to write I want to start but idk how to put ideas into words
honestly the first thing is just... write, u know?
it seems trite and stupid logic suggestion, but. if you don't start, u never do anything with it.
put your idea down in whatever way you want -prose, poetry, etc- and then work on it. polish it with more words and details, colour it with gentle brushes and its ok if its not satisfying. that's what trying again is for. you take what you've written and rework it. (god. edit. edit 10 times. add things. remove things. look up things on the internet for inspo. do ALL the things. unapologetically.)
but also don't do it like me where i start with a basic idea and then build an entire novel on it bcs im too verbose
build on your words, experiment, abandon what doesn't work and try again. like neil gaiman said once, 'just write'
then, if it feels better for you, write for yourself. and i dont (just) mean 'haha ignore other people and just write what u want' that. can work a lot of the times but if you are like me and crave feedback, it doesn't *quite* help. part of u will always write for others too.
what i mean is: when i started writing, i didn't publish things. i did super self indulgent shit like every other teen writer out there by doing, wait for it, mary sue fics and self inserts. *FOR YEARS*
i wrote pokémon fanfics and animorphs fanfics without at the time knowing it was 'fanfic' (bless sheltered mini-me for being like 'i wanna write me inside the animorphs' and not realising it had a name bcs i was completely abstracted from the concept of a fandom)
it was easier because there was a constant script to follow (hi. my name is [name]. i cannot tell you my surname, because aliens will find me, and everything will end. [here's a description of what happens in the general plot, who are our enemies, who are our alllies, who i am, and then the story starts, and it goes from there) so i found it easy to get into it, bcs the rules were easier. now i abhor first person stories but back then it was normal and i liked them.
and i would probably die of shame and embarrassmnt if anyone were to find the actual *papers* i wrote it on, or after that, the pc files i wrote, but ive grown enough at least to be able to admit i did it.
nobody will ever ever ever EVER catch a single whiff of that. its done and gone. for my eyes only. cringe shit. i wrote my version of entire animorphs books of fanfics.
YET. that cringe shit motivated the fuck out of me, esp in a period where i was already sad and stressed and anxious. was it badly written? u BET. but i was RLY into writing it. it was fun. it was indulgent.
this allows you to write whatever the fuck you want without fear of people judging or nosing around in your business, and it lets u explore and try things out in a way that makes it fun.
i started posting in my first fandom (haha it was beyblade. no judgement, i missed all the big serious fandoms by 10 miles and 10 inches) and looking back it was pure shit. i was the specific 'god this person uses the thesaurus too much' bcs i wasn't native english speaker, so i did a lot of grammar mistakes
yet there were people who in that fandom looked out and reached out for me with nice comments and it helped me thrive, even if the fic was shit. it helped me feel like it was ok to continue.
i feel a lot of fandoms now miss that delicate feeling of 'helping this writer out even if they're not good' because nowadays most fandoms don't actively comment on fanfic in general, unless ur in one of the big fandoms, so its hard to feel motivated to continue, but writing takes time
so you have to start now in order to build urself a base to stand on.
another suggestion is, from a person who went through it over time, find people who enjoy your ideas with whom you can talk it out, and expand them. start putting down ur idea as it is, like 'so i had this idea that i wanna write and its like. just character A standing on top of a hill, reaching out for character B who is grappling at the edge and about to fall, and i want them to look at one another with despair and urgency and then A's hand slips and B lets go- and i want to write what happens next but im not sure' and have someone go 'do u want B to die so u explore that, or do u want B to go through some shit but with a happy ending' and u move from there.
you have no idea how many times ive been saved simply by talking plot out w others to fix some shit.
also something neil gaiman said is that if a friend tells u something needs fixing they're right, but if they detail to you exactly *what* needs fixing and how, they're wrong. people can help you, but the writing is yours. u feel it in ur heart, even if it takes a bit, ok?
there's no big, secret way to write, except take inspo from writers u enjoy reading from (both published or not) and find your own way. do you like writing dialogue more? do you like descriptions?
find something u RLY RLY like and write that thing, obsessively, and without shame, until you're satisfied.
if you really want to start writing, if it calls for you, nothing can stop you, except starting. so give the middle finger to that big hesitance and throw urself into it.
so what i meant is, tl;dr = if you want to write, start writing. close ur ears to everybody else and throw words down. the editing will come later, adding and polishing will come later. even if what you write is simple and barren, you work on it 10, 30 times and add to it. take inspiration from what writers you like wrote, their styles, the way they word things, experiment, find friends to talk it out, and go for it. i believe in you, and in the kind of person you want to become. if u truly *want* to write, u don't need to start strong or be awesome right away, u just need to want it enough to continue through.
#fran talks#nice anons#writing#long post#also look up for forums or sites with people writing#like NANOWRIMO#zero expectations but a lot of willingness to help aspiring authors write#it's how i wrote my first original book!#i had been putting it off for years and then without even an idea of what i was doing#i started nanowrimo#took me 2 of them but i wrote an entire 100k original story to then spend years editing it to my satisfaction#it's not there yet even#but u know#at least its out of my head#once its on paper be it physical or digital#it's out and it feels different#u made it its real#sorry if this was mostly a rant but anon. i support u 100%#writing now feels like home to me and even then its hard but it feels good. i wish u to have this homey feeling too

Go ahead. Post the full description from Convenient.
What if I posted the full fic instead :3c
If u enjoyed Convenience come bust a gut w me under the readmore
AUTHORS NOTE:
Wow thank you for reading my name is Nan and I am 25 years old and I wrote this fic i hope u like it. I was born in July of 1993 meaning I am a cancer which is an emotional zodiac and a water sign, this mprning I woke up and fed my cats and then I went to work and at work i did work and then I got home and I ate like two bowls of cereal and then i was like OH i should post my new fic about hockey because i am very knowledgable about hocey and it is a great sport especially if you are gay just like keith and lance.
have u ever seen the move called Bee Movie? I watched it and it touched my heart there are so many good moments like when the bee falls in love with the lady :) love stories are good and that's what THIS STORY IS ABOUT, it's just like the movie!! And Shrek! there is love iN Shrek too which is SO COOL
Okay let me teach u about hockey, there is a thing called the NFL and it is where GOOD hockley players go, just like how we go to heaven when we die (or hell). Anyway in hockey you are ice skating just like in Yuri on Ice which is GAY JUST LIKE MY STORY and you have sticks and hit little black circles around (JUST LIKE IN MIGHTY DUCKS THE MOVIE ABOUT HOCKEY).
BTW everyone is fiction!!! I don't want to characterize real hockey people I've never met them before and only god can judge them.
SORRY IF U ARE FROM TORONDO AND YOU NOTICE THE STORY IS DIFFERENT FROM REAL TORNTO soMETIMES I MAKE MISTAKES AND WE ARE ALL HUMAN DONT COMMENT ABT IT JUST ENJOY THE STORY OK
----
CHAPTER ONE
Hi my name is Keith I like hockey and I am also a hockey player which means I play hockey but I play GOOD hockey and today I am in Canada (A/N cananda is a country in the north pole) because I might be in the NHL (A/N idk what that is but google said it's a hockey thing pls don't comment abt this I am trying my best). My brother is here two, but he doesn't play hockey so I don't know how he got into cananda bcause u can't go to Canada if u don't plAy hockey (A/N Canada is like that).
Anyway it was a hot day it was so hot that I sweated so much, Shiro said I'm only sweety cuz I am wearing a MCR shirt and a black MCR hoodie and black skinny jeans (with chains) and my knee high red converse but this is my style and sometime u have to suffer for fashon. My brother went to a 7/11 and I followed because what else will i do outside? I don't go out there usually and Torondo is scary.
My brother was talking to some guy at the counter and the guy said “hola” (A/N this means hello) and I didn't say anything back because I don't speak French. Anyway they talked about some hockey team called the Leaves and I didn't listen because I didn't want spoilers for the new season of Hockey. All I wanted was. Coke (because it's colors are red and black which are my favorites) but they didn't have that because canadianns dont drink that so i didn't get anything at all bwcause i dont drink anything else (A/n this is canon I read it on the internet which means it's true don't comment abt this). Shiro got gum, which is ok but I wouldnt have gotten that but it's his choice because it's his body and he can choose what he wants to do with it even if I don't agree, that is the law of both man and god.
And then I saw the guy behind the counter and I realized he was really cute and also Cuban meaning he doesn't speak French, he actually speaks Cuban. Which is strange because people in cananda speak French but I like confusing guys ALSO I forgot to tell you I am gay but I am a secret gay which means no one knows I am gay, not even god.
The cute guy said “I hope Keith kogane gets picked for the Leaf team” and I blushed because that is my name but I don't know what the leaves is but it sounded like a hockey thing and I like hoggey.
We left the convenience store and Shiro was like “u should be happy bcuz you will be in hockey”
I was REALLY NERVOUS because I am secret gay and I don't want ppl to know becaySe it is a secret but ball is life so I was excited.
Shiro said “you are so sweaty” Shiro said, and I realized I was sweatier than the swamps of Thailand so he was right.
SCENE CHANGE
A/N Big spoiler do NOT read if u have not watched the new season of Hockey
SO I was picked for the Leaf team and we moved to canda and my brother had to illegally cross the boarder because he is not hockey. We moved to a condo and I was so hungry all I could do was look in a pantry I was so hungry. Shiro told me to ear pizza but I only eat chips and cok so I knew it was starvation time.
“Here's a idea how bout u go to the convenience store we went to, do u remember that? It was like two paragraphs ago” and I nodded because I did remember that
So I went to the convenience story and I remmembered the really smexy Cuban guy who said my name one time.
I got to the store and he was there!!!! He saw me and was like “HEY u are the GUY!!” And I blushed and said “yeah lol”
And the guy said “Larry” and I was like “huh?” And he said “my name is Larry, it's short for Lance Mccaline” and then he said “HEY have u been to places in Canada before?”
I said “no” because I don't go outside and Lance said “OK I will show u around Canada “
I said ok but I was NERVIUS because I'm gay and he is cute. I put twenty bags of Doritos (gamers eat Doritos) on the counter and also a coke because they actually do have coke in cananda they were just out when I went before (A/n I edited this part in just now because a bunch of fucking nerds told me in the comments).
Lance rang me out but he didn't know math ): so I got everything for free I love cananda economy. Everything is free if you don't know math and pennies aren't real.
I got home and ate all of my chips it was so delicious and Shiro was like “did u see the boy” and I said “yeah he told me something about a tower” and Shiro said “YOU MQDE A FRIEND” and I said “pfffffft nO. I didn't”
And Shiro was like “u should have him show u tower” and I said “ok” because I am secret gay and Lonce is cute.
THE END
