#i have a bunch sitting in my drafts and idk if i have the muse

[specterseen]

i may or may not drop some threads when im on winter break

[unknownths]

GET  TO  KNOW  THE  MUN.

WHAT  MADE  YOU  PICK  UP  THE  MUSE  YOU  HAVE  ?   autism probably

IS  THERE  ANYTHING  YOU  DON'T  LIKE  TO  WRITE  ?  aside from the like. illegal and morally reprehensible stuff i'm not very good at writing action since i don't do it often, so i skirt around it lol. if i were going to write for more than a hobby i would probably practice and get better at it and hate it less. i also just don't really find cheating as a plot device interesting or sexy lol but i can't really think of anything that's a super hard no for me

IS  THERE  ANYTHING  YOU  REALLY  ENJOY  WRITING  ?   hurt/comfort makes me want to eat glass /pos

HOW  DO  YOU  COME  UP  WITH  YOUR  HEADCANONS  ?   autism again. no uh i just. idk exist. i'm possessed or something probably. my mind just wanders. sometimes i black out and my phone notes are full of headcanons. i'm super normal about it

DO  YOU  WRITE  IN  SILENCE  OR  LISTEN  TO  MUSIC  ?   varies based on how overstimulated i am LMAO a lot of the time i'll write on my phone just in notes or on a google doc because that's what i have energy for, so that's usually silent. if i'm sitting down to knock out a bunch of drafts i'll usually pick a playlist of the character i'm writing to get me in the zone :)

DO  YOU  PLAN  YOUR  REPLIES  OR  WING  THEM  ?   i want to say i wing them but truthfully i think i plan most of it. not like hardcore planning, but if a thread is going somewhere i've usually had some sort of conversation with the other writer about the general direction of the thread or our muses' relationship whatever that may be. i don't like to have everything super plotted out usually because at that point like.... why am i writing it if i've already let it rotate in my head for 10 million years, but sue me i like some structure

DO  YOU  ENJOY  SHIPPING  ?   I'M A WHORE. LET THEM KISS.

WHAT'S  YOUR  ALIAS/NAME  ?   My middle name technically haha. I used to go by the name of one of my first ocs, but then i started writing her on tumblr and it got weird, so i started using my middle name which then got shortened to christie. since i'm a performer i've also had to think about my stage name a lot, and i ended up including it in that which is kinda fun

AGE  ?   22 baby let's gooo

BIRTHDAY  ?  September 29, same as my Aether and also Annie @actstogether <3

FAVORITE  COLOR  ?   It used to be orange but tbh? Green has kinda been the vibe lately

FAVORITE  SONG  ?   it's either francesca by hozier or fake out by fall out boy, i don't think anything else even comes close to those

LAST  MOVIE  YOU  WATCHED  ?   dune part 2! for once i've seen something recent lmao i don't watch a lot of movies but my dad loves dune so i had to watch the first one and then he dragged me to the new one last week

LAST  SHOW  YOU  WATCHED  ?   like casually i think it was psych, as far as like binging a whole series i'm not sure

LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO  ?  red wine supernova by chapell roan don't look at me like that

FAVORITE  SEASON  ?   i dont even know anymore bro. spring maybe?

DO  YOU  HAVE  A  TUMBLR  BEST  FRIEND  ?   i have a crew :^) my little gay people in my discord server <3

tagged by: @mischiiefs hi mak xx tagging: well u see. mak also tagged the rest of the aforementioned crew so if you wanna do this go for it i can't stop you-

[antirepurp]

When you're making the "rough draft" of your fics, do you usually do most of it all in one go, or do you chip away at it?

kind of both? like when i write the rough flow of things down i usually do it in one or two sittings, something like that, but actually figuring out the flow and sorting it out in my head is more of a chip job if you will aksjdads. most of the time tho i start by making a note on my phone that i keep slapping things i'd like to write about in the given context, or events that could happen in the story, or problems that would arise with me introducing specific elements, and then just. think about them aggressively a whole bunch? i like musing about things and headworlds and shit in the evenings and that's where a lot of that construction happens. and if needed i'll later write the notes again on the computer to order them chronologically and point where they fit in the midst of the (possible) canon narrative im working with, and add other notes in between to remind myself to check the source material for xyz reasons or that hey you mentioned a thing in a previous chapter and this would be the time to bring it up again. i didn't do the latter step with stranger in morioh/his world tho since they were mostly about the in-between bits and i had the part4/3 narratives fresh-enough in mind anyway (or i just looked up the order of things from the wiki lol)

i put some notes i made for his world under the cut bc i thought those maybe show what i mean better and also i went through the trouble of getting them on the compuper anyway so i might as well share them akjshdas

^ iirc most of these may have been written before i watched the anime again or maybe when i was in the earlier episodes? and most of them didn't end up making it in at least in these forms, but i did work off of them

^ you can probably point out which ones of these i wrote while watching the anime lol. some of them i also picked from the shit i scattered around in stranger in morioh that also just didn't end up addressed bc there wasn't enough to work with, like the vending machine shit. and some were less a "write a chapter about this" and more "this could be a recurring theme" kind of deals

^ the first ones aren't of course chronological and i probably didn't intend them as such anyway. dio's world actually had its own note entirely but that was also me outlining the OVA more or less and picking up interesting things about it/writing down things to put into it than anything? and then things i could've included in the epilogue, half of which went unused bc they weren't enough to work with or wouldn't have worked in the final version of the timeline anyway

in the end i mostly just picked what i saw fitting for each chapter that i didn't have a predetermined purpose for, and also i think i might've done a thing where i copypasted the shit i did use into a separate paragraph in the order i used them to keep track of what i had already included in a chapter? also idk if any of this really answers the question i might be on a tangent again adshjkas

Just a moment of self reflection, a positivity post to myself I guess -- as I woke this morning being like one or two followers from 400. 

I’ve been with Prompto nearly a year now, ( on this blog -- on and off I’ve been with him since versus, but he’s always been my strongest muse. ) and I made him only cause through a friend I was in a group with on wire -- when I was, at the time, in the FF7 fandom, said it would be pretty cool for Cloud and Prompto to be friends. Which led to me being like, omg I should make him a wire blah blah blah. 

And then, I was like. Sure, I’m actually gonna make him a blog - low activity, but he’s my son. [ please note, I think after having him for one month --? I have never sat with an empty inbox/drafts/starter calls etc because he’s been super loved and I’m so ... so thankful for that. ] And, from there a few friends were like. Damn, wow, I love seeing your prom, hold up -- Imma make a blog. In fact, yeah a whole bunch of people did that. Over the space of the year, super close friends made a blog, because I inspired and/OR GAVE THEM BIG EYE EMOJIS UNTIL THEY DID THE THING. And, it warms my heart.. to see them here, living their best life. 

Now, I’m not by no means saying I’m important, or I play a big role. Nay, I simply love to celebrate other muses, hype people up and tell them their god damn worth. Cherish them in and out of character, and really - I just love to see everyone having a good time? And I guess, what I’m trying to say is ... I feel like I have played a part in that over this last year. 

More recently, with wire groups. I had a main Ignis, Noctis and Gladio and I kinda sat here like. wonder if they’d be up for a chocobro chat. and holy shit, did we take it by the leash and make it our bitch. Honest to god, I can’t imagine being here without my bbbz, but also? Seeing them interact and be friends with each other? I’ll never forget the night we all played Comrades together as our boys in the mission from when Noct returns from the crystal. All very true to character, roasting each other and me ( prompto ) forever taking selfies ... hashtag sorry not sorry ? :’)

And I think, I’m still gonna go sjhdsiudhuwdbh when I see some other Prompto’s because, like. idk. i think i’m just like... eh. idk. we all have our dupe anxiety reasons. But I went through a bit of an experience in being made to believe that what I was writing wasn’t .. any good. I would sit and over analyse every word, every full stop and speech mark... grammar and spell checks, to the point I was stressing. But, anyway, once that kinda went and I realised I was HAPPY with what I write and how I write, things just became nothing but good times for me. 

I’ve always felt loved and appreciated here with Prompto. That ‘ I follow you because ‘ day? when I was inundated? I told all of my friends this side of the screen because I was overwhelmed. Truly, I still have no words. I actually didn’t know people that felt so strong about my presence <33 

 Anyway. I think, I’m finally comfortable with my portrayal. That isn’t to say I’m not still exploring, changing up aesthetics and am gonna be writing the next Stephen King novel, but. I’m happy.  blogs from other fandoms have reached out, some who know the muse and some who dont. others who have watched videos and played the game just cause they wanted to know and love Prompto more. Really. It’s amazing. You guys are amazing. Genuinely you guys inspire me and brighten me on even the darkest days.  and I’ve had a lot of people tell me that for the longest time, that my Prompto is great, and you know. 

maybe. just maybe. I’m finally starting to believe it. 

So. Thank you. to all of you <3 xoxoox

Author Interview

tagged by @theputterer -- thank you :) 

Name: Liz

Fandoms: In terms of posted fics, mainly Rogue One and Star Wars (OT). I have at least one fic posted in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, Community, and Howl’s Moving Castle (book). But I also like The Clone Wars and Rebels. I’ve been reading mainly ATLA fic for the past couple weeks. 

Where you post: AO3 and sometimes here on tumblr. There are a few drabbles I’ve posted on tumblr that I really ought to crosspost on AO3 for posterity. 

Most popular one-shot: “In Which Sophie is Late, and Howl Noses Around in Her Business” (Howl’s Moving Castle) With 698 kudos. Uh. Wow. I was not expecting that! It’s literally my only HMC fic (although I do technically have other unfinished drafts) and it’s not even a year old, and surpassed my second most popular one-shot which was posted in 2015. Pregnancy trope is popular I guess. It is amusing to me that my most popular one-shot is not in my favorite OTP fandom (rebelcaptain). Howl’s Moving Castle ended up having a wider audience than I anticipated. 

Also as a disclaimer, but popularity is weird to gauge because do you go by hits or kudos or comments? I went with kudos because hits could count people who clicked on my story and then didn’t like it. But it’s hard because hits also include re-reads, so, idk. 

Most popular multi-chapter fic: “The Last Stark” (A Song of Ice and Fire) 815 kudos. This was finished in 2013 so it’s had plenty of time to accumulate the kudos. It’s a Gendrya Anastasia AU (“Aryastasia” was my working title for this one lol). So again, popular trope, in a popular fandom, in a popular ship. This fic is so old when I reread it, I usually find myself wanting to edit it, especially the ending. I was so ready to be done writing this that I think I rushed the ending. Oh well, writing plots is really difficult!

Fic you were nervous to post: Every fic? lol. I’m never not nervous to post a fic. But I’m definitely more nervous posting in a fandom for the first time. So posting “Whatever I Do (I Do It To Protect You)” (Rogue One, rebelcaptain) was pretty nervewracking, especially since it’d been awhile since I posted anything. [OOOH, fun fact, but WID celebrated it’s 4 year anniversary yesterday! Ha, that’s funny.] I was working on this fic for weeks before I posted it. 

I was also super nervous to post my Jeff/Annie Community soulmate AU, “Intro to Neurochemical Compatibility” because (a) first time posting in that fandom, (b) I decided to use script format which I know is not everyone’s jam, and (c) the premise is just so ridiculous! But I had fun with it. 

Also gift exchanges are always nerve-wracking because I worry the giftee won’t like it. My giftee never responded to my 2020 rebelcaptain secret santa fic so I’m actually constantly worrying that they didn’t like it and feeling bad that I failed them. :/ 

How you choose your titles: with so much agonizing. gosh it’s so hard and honestly i have so many titles that i hate. I’ve got a couple song lyric titles. a couple quotes. a couple “how to...” apparently that was a whole phase I went through. Either the titles come to me immediately, or I put off choosing a title until the absolutely moment I need to post it, and then spend hours agonizing over a quote/song lyric/phrase that fits and probably begging others for help.

Do you outline: YES. Possibly overly so. I’ve ran into issues in the past, when I was much younger, where I didn’t resolve problems proposed early in the story. So I need to know where the story is going in order to lay the proper groundwork. Also, if I do not write things down I forget them five minutes later. I also think outlining is a useful trick to jumpstart writing, so if the muse just isn’t present, I’ll try to lure her out by outlining. 

Complete: 19 fics. 

In progress: Oh boy this is so hard to count. As far as what’s posted? Technically only one: “How to Lose a Spy in 10 Days” (Rogue One, rebelcaptain). Despite the fact that I think the deadline was extended multiple time, I procrastinated and ended up rushing chapter one to meet the rebelcaptain rom-com challenge deadline. Didn’t really have a proper outline for this one, even though I knew vaguely what I wanted it to be about. I wrote chapter two but I hated what I wrote so I ... I kinda abandoned it. I mean technically, I never consider a work abandoned, I always intend to get back to it. Some day when I have the inspiration I will. But this idea ended up being a challenge I didn’t feel ready for at the time, and then my interest moved on to other ideas.

I also had a longer story planned for “you must become an island (the horizon is all we have)” but only posted one part of it to finish it on time. Ideally this fic would be part of a series, but again, motivation is needed so we’ll see

Technically I have 22 rebelcaptain ideas alone (including some listed in this post) at various states of completed, plus a handful of Community and HMC ideas. Of the ones I’m most interested in, there’s probably about 14 that I really hope to finish and post some day. 

ETA: omg i totally forgot that i was idly considering trying to finish my rebelcaptain soulmate AU in time for Valentine’s Day, but at this point I haven’t had any motivation to write so I don’t think that’s gonna happen. that fic has been sitting in my drafts since 2018 and in my drafts it will continue to sit.

Coming soon: “soon” is relative but these are currently the ones I’ve focused the most on recently:

Fencing AU (rebelcaptain)

You’ve Got Mail AU (rebelcaptain)

Post-War Fic with @allatariel (rebelcaptain, plus a LOT of other ships, includes Rebels characters, OT characters, and... maybe some others :) )

Palm Springs/time loop AU (Jeff/Annie)

Do you accept prompts: Wellllll here’s the thing. When I’ve asked for prompts, I haven’t been the best at fulfilling them in a timely manner. For that reason, I don’t encourage prompts but I’m not opposed to them. (I suppose technically exchange fics are prompts, and I wrote a bunch of fics in 2017 for rebelcaptainprompts, but I’m not gonna count those because I don’t think that’s what the question here is really going for)

“The Climb (A Lie, A Hero)” (Rogue One, rebelcaptain) was actually a prompt. 

I solicited prompts for my birthday in 2019, which I didn’t end up fulfilling until exactly one year later. 

Technically the You’ve Got Mail AU is a prompt, someone prompted me to write a fic for my favorite go-to comfort movie.

And, uh, the certain someone who tagged me for this meme prompted me in a comment back in October 2017 to do a Luke and Leia swap where Leia grows up on Tatooine, so that is sitting in my WIP list. 

Yeah, this is why I don’t solicit or encourage prompts. The return rate is just not fair for the prompter. 

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: this fluctuates on any given day. the fencing AU is so close to being done (well the first draft anyways) so i really really want to just finish it! But yeah it’d be anything on the coming soon list above.

tagging: @allatariel, @cats-and-metersticks, @lothcatlovesysalamiri, @veritascara, @brynnmclean and anyone who sees this and wants to do it! also ofc per usual no pressure if u don’t want to.

🚧Upcoming Blog Changes 🚧

HEY so I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how I want to continue with RP, not just on this blog, but just like, in general. I love all the characters I currently play, and wholeheartedly intend to keep up with them all, but I have other characters I’d like to mess around and experiment with too, and I think I’ll have a far easier time of doing that with everything I’m currently doing consolidated under one blog. Fewer accounts, fewer draft piles to account for, dumping my attention into one big bucket versus a bunch of little buckets.

So I’m kind of dedicating this week to getting all of that in order. That’s gonna include: (and feel free to ignore this, it’s honestly more for my personal reference just to have all this jotted down)

Redoing my current OC page with updated character info. I’ve already made new About pages for Claudia, Ciro, Kira, and Aki, but I still have to get at least Lucius, Luca, and Reema’s up and running. 

Migrating my current other active RP blog (Hazel Grouse from Saiyuki, @go-forth-and-live​) over here. I’m probablyyyy? gonna do this last. 

Setting up a separate canon muse about page, for both muses I’m bringing back and new ones I’m giving a test run to. 

For older muses: I’m probably gonna move over Simon Blackquill ( @samurai-esquire ) and Lin Xianming ( @shoubupantsu​ ). I haven’t really decided if I’m migrating over my favorite mad scientist wizard Viren from TDP ( @youareaservant​ ) just yet, though I might, depending on how season 4 goes? I also kind of like that blog sitting abandoned with last year’s Christmas icon too. That would’ve been a very Viren way to go out.

For newer muses: I’m thinkin’ real hard about Grillby and/or Gaster from Undertale and yes, I know, the year 2016 called and it wants its weird fandom rabbit holes back, but frankly, everyone got to have their weird fandom rabbit holes this year, and apparently this was mine, I am working it out of my system. In Gaster’s case, I’m gonna have to put a lot of thought into how I want to approach writing a character who like... only ostensibly exists? semi-exists??? within the context of his media and honestly much more through fan interpretation (which is the weirdest of fandom rabbit holes), so idk. It’s in the Strong Consider/I Have About 3/4s Of An Idea pile. Also might fuck around with a Carmen Sandiego muse, have not decided

[dark-unimaginably-stupid-kids]

Fate/Voltron and their classes

Okay so Voltron Fate AU if they’re all servants (and since there are a BILLION Fates, I’m gonna go hella general.)

Fun fact: This has been sitting in my drafts since BEFORE I posted the terribly self indulgent short scenes [1,2] [3,4] . Click the read more for some musing.

Shiro would absolutely be a ruler class there is no doubt in my mind about that. Though he could easily be high level assassin or even Berserker type...

Keith could be Saber but a lower level, tier 3 or 4 tops. His stronger alignment would be Assassin for sure. Though he definitely has an affinity for rider (these could be 5 star or 4 idk tbh.) And Galra!keith would be Berserker, probably locked at 4 stars.

Lance would be a 4 star (I wanna say 5 but I’m trying to fight my bias.) archer class, occasionally a rider also at 4 stars. We’ve yet to see him use his sword so I’ll give him the potential for a 3 star saber.

Allura’s main would be caster, 4 or 5 star ranking. She could also be a 3 star lancer if summoned differently. (Anyone else miss her original weapon?? Just me?? Okay bye.)

Pidge could be a caster in the same way we have casters like Shakespeare but she fits better as assassin IMO since she’s apt at cloaking, an unassuming fighter— she kinda sneaks up on you. She’d be a lower level assassin though, 3 star at the most. Her caster would be 4 star because it’s ALL shadowy tech stuff...but it would be like summoning Cu as Caster, he /wants/ to be a Lancer Lol. And assassin Pidge would still be very tech oriented she would just be able to utilize /all/ of her strengths as assassin while castor focuses only on her biggest strength, if that makes sense?

I honestly have NO idea regarding Hunk. He’s no saber or Lancer, he’s not a good shot so no archer. Assassin? absolutely not. He could be rider but I don’t feel like it plays to his strength well enough, and that is sadly brute strength.

But berserkers are so utterly.... not like Hunk? Cause I mean his other strengths lie in how he handles things— I know there are a bunch of other classes too but I’m not super familiar with anything past Ruler. Oh! Wait! No! I’m stupid.

I’mmmm stupid. Shielder. That one at least feels like it fits him better. Nothing negates him anyway. Though now that I’m /thinking/ about it Hunk could also be a Ruler class. Definitely better fit if we think about how sensible he really is.

Yeh. That’s my vote. Hunk is Ruler class, 4 star. Otherwise he’s a shielder with an occasional summoning as rider which isn’t usual but he has a soft spot for the summoning because it gives him easier access to Sunshine.

Lotor would be a 5 star saber, sorry not sorry. Potential for assassin and berserker but berserker class would drop him to a 3 star just because, thems the rules, I don’t make this shit up -cough-

Matt’s a Lancer, with slightly better luck than most Lancers because omg baby. (If your wondering, Allura would easily be immune to the Lancer curse okay shush)

alright so that’s the thought process I had behind placing the main cast as servants... more stuff later lol.

[metalzerotruck]

How do you run your blog?

Speed: Ha! ahahaha. Okay, so... bursts of activity followed by long periods of quiet. I try to keep a queue going, but I sometimes go for a while just chatting ooc with people/plotting, which I know *looks* like inactivity bc I’m not actually posting things. I think about that a lot actually, and it bothers me, but like... idk what else to do really. Hardly anybody plots publicly anymore??? Even casually speculative stuff? It’s this weird change that’s happened as I’ve moved through various rp communities, like suddenly everybody keeps all their plotting backstage and only lets Finished and Polished stuff become public, and it saddens me. And I think it contributes to a lot of the insecurities people have with rping, this culture of keeping the process/struggle/experimentation hidden and only seeing finished products. 

Which is all to say that I am slow, sometimes things are happening behind the scenes and sometimes not, and I think we’d all be better off if we got in the habit of sharing more of our behind-the-scenes work.

Replies: My muse varies a looooot. Sometimes I’m only able to do stuff for one verse or one relationship. Sometimes I can only focus on short things. I really like to keep a variety of threads in the drafts for that reason--I never know what I’ll have the muse, energy, and time for. 

Starters: I’ve got a bunch of open ones. I’ve also got some that were written for specific people who never responded, so they became open ones (the ones that could, anyway). And I like writing starters--I like setting a scene--but for some reason I don’t often write random starters for people? Not sure why. I should really make a permanent starter call at some point...

Inbox:  Usually pretty quiet, with occasional flurries if I manage to post memes when people are online. I try to keep on top of things, but once in a while something will sit for a couple days (or weeks) until I have inspiration for it or until we’ve done relevant plotting. I’d rather wait to answer something than post a generic or half-assed answer. And beyond that... tthere’s a lot of old stuff toward the back that I should clear out one of these days, but tbh I don’t really want to go back there. Perhaps someday tumblr will eat the old ones and I won’t have to. 

Selectivity: NB: I have a mental list of blogs I REALLY WANT to follow, including some I’ve interacted with and some muns I interact with on their other blogs, and I do PLAN to follow them. I just have this thing where I try to only follow a couple new blogs at a time, then I don’t follow more until I feel like I have a good grasp on those new characters I’ve been getting to know. So, yes, I am slow to follow but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to rp with you! There are also verses and topics I’m suuuuuuper selective about, but they’re ones that people rarely approach me about, so that works just fine. And there are muses I love and enjoy interacting with but can’t follow on various blogs for various reasons (like I don’t follow many military muses with Eilidh bc they tend to take me out of her headspace and put me in Truck’s, and I don’t follow certain folks on Truck bc when I’m on mobile with him I don’t have my blacklist, and there are blogs I need that for).

All that said though I’m down to interact with people I don’t follow and who don’t follow me, as long as they’ve got the usual about/rules setup and stuff. There are just a few fcs/characters/canons I avoid.

Wishlist item: I have an ongoing and Really Fucking Important wish for Truck to have more friends he’s on an equal level with (not a mentor/older brother relationship) and relationships with muses who are his own age or older. There are so many young muses on tumblr, and Truck’s older, plus his personality means he has a tendency to play an advisor/helper role, and there’s a risk there of perpetuating some racist tropes that I really try to avoid.

Honest note: idk what this means exactly? I guess it’s an unpopular opinion type thing? Um... I’m largely indifferent to formatting as long as things are legible, but it really gets on my nerves when people use fancy/non-standard characters in tags. The purpose of tags is to make your blog navigable, and if I have to remember that you use... idk, long fs and curlicues in your tag for a particular thing (on top of the complicated and vague phrases that people use for tags half the time), it just makes it a massive pain the ass to find things on your blog, you know?

                                    i  like  having  a  show  on  that  i  don’t  have  to  pay  attention  to  or  some  music  IF  the  music  is  what  inspired  the  muse  to  begin  with!  my  adhd  makes  it  rly  difficult  to  focus  in  general  like  i’ll  stop  writing  to  go  refresh  tumblr  or  look  at  my  phone.  anything  that  softly  occupies  my  attention  while  i  try  to  focus  on  writing  is  my  goto  :>  

60.  who’s  a  roleplayer  (or  writer)  you  think  you  have  learned  a  lot  from?

                                  MNNN  it’s  hard  to  say  ...  i  read  a  lot  of  books  as  a  growing  kid  and  teenager  and  i  still  try  to  keep  up  -  the  most  important  lesson  i’ve  learned  in  writing  is  that  sometimes  simplicity  can  sound  more  elegant  than  something  dense  and  complex.  i  used  to  write  v  purple  and  nothing  is  wrong  with  that!  but  finding  the  flow  of  words  and  diction  are  way  more  important  to  me  now  than  before.

I need,,,,to clean out my inbox. I’ll be keeping things i have an urge/inkling of how to reply to but other than that/if I can’t remember what a meme is, I’ll be starting fresh. I won’t delete anything from the past week or so where I’ve been a Fucking Mess.

I’ve got muse, I just haven’t had..,..the spoons to sit down and write, lately. My drafts feel sort of stagnant. I might want to get a few smaller, quick things going so I’m writing more regularly? Idk. Anyway, if I delete an ask, it’s nothing to do with you, I love you bunches, my inbox is just a mess <3

lumaroza replied to your post: honestly “the muse whats what it wants” has always...

i 100% agree because being creative is basically problem solving and sometimes the problems are easy to solve (my char would do x in y situation!) and others are harder (idk what my char would do in z situation!?) and like being active and doing replies for me is more about sitting down and doing it rather than waiting for inspiration.

oh absolutely! “being active and doing replies for me is more about sitting down and doing it rather than waiting for inspiration” this reminds me of something a relative told me once:  “if you just do something, anything at all, something will happen. if you do nothing, nothing will happen”.

i think people just need to ... call things what they are? these days saying you have no muse is like a replacement for a panoply of things: “i don’t want to write THIS”, “i want new things”, “the novelty of the threads i have wore off but i want to hoard them”, etc etc etc..... it seldom means “i’m stuck”. AND it’s like you said, when you’re “stuck”, NOT WRITING or talking to your partner is the WORST thing you can do. it doesn’t fix anything, in fact it can it worse and often leads to people ending up with a bunch of drafts, starting new things, getting overwhelmed, dropping all threads and starting over, saying they’re “museless”, collecting a bunch of drafts, starting new things, getting overwhelmed,dropping all threads and starting over, saying they’re “museless”, collecting a bunch of drafts... and the cycle goes on and on and on. 

i struggle A LOT with basically feeling like nothing i do and come up with is good enough, and truly pushing past those feelings and actually trying to make things happen, no matter how painful it is (because it is painful sometimes) is... what will make things happen. even if your reply is absolute shit, even if the idea you’re suggesting isn’t that amazing, etc etc etc - what makes things happen, what counts, what makes your brain move forward, is putting in the work.

and like full disclosure i’m currently going through a “””””””””museless”””””””” time myself bc i can’t sleep at all so i’ve been fucking around on this stupid site doing absolutely nothing instead of attempting to write replies & reply to messages. i’m tired and being lazy. that’s literally it: tired & lazy, not “museless”.
