#i might write a tiny oneshot about this hmmm

[brick-a-doodle-do]

I'm writing ratatouille on the side and planning to use a oneshot to encourage me to write it bc in some ways it embarrasses me to try to write my characters into that universe but I reeeeeaaaally want to

Hmmm

Wanna give me an idea to write about that I could use my OCs for? Idk what to write but I want to write

I wanna try writing something that you might be wanting to read but don't wanna write yourself

YES WOOO ratatouille i am so excited :DD and mm yes more writing to boost other writing that is a good idea fvdsjdsj

hMMMMM i gotta think. UHHH how abouttttt ahh i've been thinking so much about tinies being in pockets while humans travel around like a city or smth (tiny workers brainrot go brr) sO maybe something with that. and also the famous "tiny fell into cake batter" trope cause i made cupcakes the other day,,,

[danny-williams]

headcanon that after D*ris’s death, Steve can’t stop thinking about what she did, how she risked everything to make to sure that he and Mary and Joanie were taken care of financially. He’s never been one to think much about money, because he rarely spent the money from his pay-check and it’s just accrued over time, sitting in his bank account and collecting interest or whatever it is that money does.

But he remembers the initial years when Danny was first settling into Hawaii,,how he would beg off meals and drinks, how he found a way to turn almost everything into a billable outing so that it wouldn’t have to come out of his pocket, how refused to move out of his two bit apartment all so that he could have a bit of spare cash lying around to treat Gracie.

(it didn’t help that Stan was a veritable millionaire determined to buy Grace’s affections)

he can’t stop thinking about it, and it eats at him - until finally he says fuck it, goes to the nearest branch for his bank; and empties out almost his entire savings (leaving just enough for him to get by) and puts it into a trust-fund in Gracie and Charlie’s name.

he doesn’t tell anyone, not Junior, not Lou and certainly not Danny - but he makes sure all the paperwork is in order, because the money is of no use to him, but maybe, just maybe, if anything actually does happen to him or Danny on the job, then the kids will be taken care of

(he resolutely ignores the way he thinks of Danny’s kids as his own. one emotional crisis at a time)

get to know the writer tag

tagged by @the-color-of-roseblood, @ghost-possum, and @thevajunglebook. thank you for tagging me and i’m sorry it took this long.

i’m bad at coming up with questions so i’m not going to do the 10 questions. but i am going to answer the questions that were listed. also this is an open tag, so anyone who wants to do it can do it.

rules: answer 10 questions, create 10 new questions, and then tag 10 people

from the-color-of-roseblood:

1) We always talk about favorites. What’s your least favorite book?

hmmm. one book i’ve always hated is the scarlett letter. we read it in school and it was awful.

2) Do you have a favorite place to write? What’s it like there?

i didn’t really have a favorite place to write until recently. a few months ago i finally got a desk and i’ve been in love with it ever since. 

very, very cluttered. there’s all kinds of stuff piled on it. on one side i’ve got soda cans, plastic bottles, my phone; the other side is junk food, my glasses case, a couple of necklaces. i have an old sugar plum fairie barbie on the top shelf that i tried to sell, that nobody wanted even though i had it for like $5 (i might post a picture of it later bc it’s super pretty).

3) Do you have any artistic endeavors other than writing? If not, what else would you most like to learn to do?

back before the writing bug really bit me, i used to draw all the time. now i barely ever draw unless i get really inspired. 

hmmm, i don’t know. maybe sign up for duolingo and learn other languages?? other than that i don’t know.

4) What’s your favorite holiday? Why? Have you ever written a story involving that holiday?

halloween is my favorite, followed closely by christmas just bc i love the tacky decorations and the music and the movies and pretty much everything about it. 

looool i have tried to write fics involving these holidays, but they never come out how i want them to and i’ve kind of given up on it. 

5) How do you fight writer’s block?

silly answer: drink so much caffeine i ascend to the astral plane to get advice from the writing gods.

actual answer: there’s not really an easy way to answer this. sometimes i see writing posts that are like, “you have to write every day!!” and i’m thinking y’know that’s not always possible. whether i’m out of inspiration/ideas, or i’m in a depression spiral, or i’m tired from work, or maybe i’m just not feeling that particular project. it’s not a sin to need a break from your wips, bc even though it’s happy work it’s still work. and there’s no shame in needing to take a breather to get yourself sorted out. 

on days when i’m ready to write, i do different things to get myself pumped up for my wips. i’ll make playlists, make aesthetic boards, sometimes i torture my mutuals with rambles about my ocs or tag them with little excerpts from the project. i really like making an aesthetic tag so i can go and look at all the pretty stuff that makes me think of the wip, so i can remind myself why i want to write it in the first place.

6) At what point in a WIP do you decide to send it to your first beta readers/reviewers?

probably not until i’m at least done with a second draft. the first draft needs to have all those plot holes filled, all those loose threads woven back together, characters need developing. showing a beta reader my first draft would be like taking a person to a room filled with beginning sketches of people where they’re still just shapes instead of having any defining features. 

7) What’s your greatest inspiration?

i don’t think i have one lol.

8) A lot of writers have certain things they like to describe - food, clothes, fights, party scenes. What’s your favorite thing to describe?

emotional scenes where characters talk about their problems and they hug and maybe even cry. i’m a terrible person.

9) What’s your approximate ratio of reading to writing? How do you find time for both? Do you do both on the same day, or split it up?

you’re going to judge me for this, but i haven’t been reading actual books lol. the last few months i’ve just been reading fanfic oneshots with like the occasional multichapter fic thrown in. my attention span has been terrible.

10) What books would you recommend to someone to get them into reading?

i think it depends on the person. what i might find compelling, someone else might find super boring. 

from ghost-possum:

1. What is your favorite book in a genre that you don’t tend to write? If you do fantasy/sci-fi, what’s your favorite romance? If you write literary, what’s your favorite paranormal YA?

i don’t really like writing stuff that doesn’t have some kind of paranormal element. so i guess i’d say my writing enemy that i like reading is real world drama. 

my favorite books that are like idk period pieces i guess?? are Anne of Green Gables and Pride and Prejudice. 

as for stuff that’s based in more recent times, there’s a ya series i really like called tiny pretty things that’s about a group of ballerinas competing against each other for spots for prima ballerina?? and there’s a lot of drama and backstabbing. it’s kind of a dark series. 

2. What book would you love to see turned into a movie or tv show? Any particular reasons why?

i can’t think of anything right now. maybe green angel by alice hoffman?

3. Have you ever written a character with a certain real-life person in mind. Was it someone you know in real life or someone famous?

some of my ocs were originally based off acquaintances, but as i kept writing them the characters changed so much that they became pretty much unrecognizable. 

4. If your latest WIP had a color scheme, what would it be?

paper heart would be red, orange, pink, and purple. the colors of a sunset with the threat of darkness falling over everything. 

5. What do you eat or drink while writing (if anything)?

s’mores poptarts if i’m too lazy to get up and fix myself something. chips. different sodas: cherry coke, sunkist, grape fanta. 

6. What do you do to restore your inspiration when you’re not writing?

watch movies/tv shows. listen to podcasts or music. look at cool pictures. 

7. Coffee, Tea, Booze, or ALL THREE?

coffee and booze. i’m not a big fan of tea. 

8. Who is your favorite visual artist?

uhhhh, does studio ghibli count? their artwork is so appealing to look at.

9. Do you have any other creative pursuits outside of writing? What are they?

maybe learning other languages??

10. What is your favorite trope, the one you will always fall for and never get enough of?

AAAAAAAAAAA, ENEMIES TO FRIENDS TO LOVERS. 

from thevajunglebook: 

1. Describe your WIP as a cross between two movies.

i’m trying to think of what paper heart would be, but i’m drawing a blank. this needs to be its own game where someone else guesses what movies your wip is the lovechild of.

2. What’s your favorite part of writing communities?

cheering on and also being cheered on during the writing process. getting to read all these wonderful stories written by wonderful people. knowing other people are suffering just as much as i am lol. 

3. If you could collaborate with any writer (whether friend or idol), who would it be and what would you work on together?

i am terrible at collaborating with other people lol. 

4. Do you prefer reading/writing standalones or series? 

i love reading series, but i’m not good at writing them lol. yet somehow i always end up writing series.

5. Who is your ultimate OC otp(+)?

canon: for the next three days verse it’s between leana/yvonne and jason/bella for otp status. my ot5 is carter/matteo/violet/tiffany/nina. 

for defect i’d say my otp is joe/alec. also ethan/noah later on down the line.

ot3: ned/alec/sage 

ot4: ned/alec/joe/ray.

au: joe/ned/carter

.

for the graveyard of the forgotten it’s definitely orrinaz/eliya/amnayel. 

6. If your OC(s) joined tumblr, what type of blog would they run?

i wish i could answer this question with the dedication it deserves. i feel like their blogs would have a lot of memes and shitposts with some aesthetic stuff thrown in. 

7. If you could write an adaptation of any story, which would it be?   

while i have zero desire to write an adaptation for a story, i’ve always liked the idea of a movie version of Green Angel by Alice Hoffman. mostly bc it’s surreal, a little weird, post apocalyptic, and it would just look really cool.

8. What common writing tips never work for you? And/or what uncommon advice do you swear by? 

anything that’s like, “if you don’t write everyday, you’re not a real writer!!” like chill dude. just bc i’m not cranking out 1,000 words a day like some lean, mean, writing machine doesn’t mean i’m not dedicated to what i’m doing. 

9. Do you research before, during, or after writing sessions? 

it depends. sometimes i get to a point in a fic where i’m like, “uh oh” and i go into a research spiral trying to find this one specific thing. thinking ah yes, this is the specific thing i need at this very moment that i probably could do without.

10. Have you had a writing epiphany that totally revamped your WIP?

if only. there were a few game changers in the next three days series that changed things for the better:

- the way carter and matteo first met lmao. 

- violet’s existence. 

- sage rescuing and then leaving violet and carter. 

- carter and nina’s bromance. 

- alec and carter, and also joe and matteo being siblings.

- tiffany seeing ghosts.

For the mini-golf course possible au!! Love it so much and so many things to think about!! ohhhh, who's all tinies?? Are they being paid?? Do customers have favorite tinies to work with aka my crimebois or sbi heart would love it!! There's gotta be security for them too, since i know for a fact crows and squirrels would target them. Maybe Tommy would get attacked by a Karens emotional support animal and be saved. So many possibilities!!!

aaa!! thank you, i think the idea is pretty cute :D

so far, at the specific place tommy works at, benchtrio are all tiny workers! tommy and tubbo would definitely be the more chaotic of the three. tubbo is the typa guy to just throw himself at the ball in an attempt to move it, and, in the end, fail terribly sdjgds

tommy would be like tubbo, going in with no plan. he'd definitely get things done but he'd make a fool of himself lol

ranboo is just chill lmao, if anything he's one of the only workers who actually tries to benefit the human players eghdssdj

okay, so, for payment, the world has not really adapted tinies into their society. they're not exactly borrowers per se - a lot of people know about them - but there isn't a lot of stores that are tiny friendly. so, they do get paid, but not with money. a lot of their payment is just proper shelter, food, and overall things that'll benefit. that being said, it'll also depend on the place. some people will use them more as entertainment and pay them less, while others just see tinies as actual employees who benefit their business.

you are making me want to ramble a lot,,, i really hope you don't mind a long response dshgfds

hmmm security would also depend on the place! for this au i'm also maybe having tinies have similar jobs at places like escape rooms or other just-for-fun things that can have challenges, so if it had to do with outside, and the owners of the business see them as actual people, then they'd definitely make sure that someone is keeping an eye out for the smaller creatures, that being through both customers/players and employees.

hmm, they'd definitely have their favorites :)

for the main minigolf oneshot i'm havin' will be a salty depressed guy who definitely doesn't like going out much. and when phil finally gets techno to agree as well, wilbur finds himself in the car with his brother.

for another one i'm thinking of having it be dnf/dteam, where g!dream is a regular and goes there just to request george (or george & sapnap) :))

idk there's a lot of different ways this could go, and i'm just now realizing how well this idea could go if i actually think about it and execute it right esdghddgjdf (thank you for opening my eyes :D)

ewhfsjjjdsjg that is a wonderful thought to have him be attacked lmao, i definitely thing tommy could get too cocky with an animal and make it have a terrible outcome asdjbhgfjsdf

honestly yeah there are so many possibilities and i am very open to ideas, literally any form of entertainment/game/ could be suggested and i'll make a lil oneshot idea :D

if i ever do write something for this, i might make it multiple parts, where i jump from characters to characters -- basically just oneshots for the same universe,,,,,

also, for a little bit of an angsty idea, what if a tiny gets hurt from a club? a swing a little too harsh near a tiny a little too close :D i mean one little mishap and the entire tiny-human thing could be completely shut down >:D

oooor for an escape room, a tiny gets stuck in something, and the person is a little bit slow at working out one of the puzzles, causing the tiny to be seriously injured >:)))))

possibilities possibilities.......
