#i put myself thru emotional turmoil writing this

[jangmo-othewarrior]

Chapter Two! AKA Wolfwood does not have a fun time. 

---

A coarse itchy feeling finally managed to get him to come to. 

His face was half pressed into the sand, each grain annoyingly clinging to his skin. The heat was unbearable. His eyes were still weighed down by the gravity of exhaustion, barely managing to open even halfway. His vision blurred as a violent amount of light burned his retinas, and his half-awake mind flinched back. Some form of movement must have carried over, because the weight of his muscles cried out in a deep, sore sort of pain. Nothin' new for him.

He nearly conked out again, a small part of him let out a terribly tired hum. It reverberated like an echo in a cavern, his chest vibrating as the sound bounced around. It finally rang out the mouth as a raspy sigh, eyes near fluttering closed in tandem.

ok. i was gonna reply to ur comment but it got a bit too long of a rant HAHAHHA sorry😭

but girl i will never stop raving about ur fics istg like something about the way you write and your characters always seem to hit home for me like i always seem to connect with your characters. you make their emotions and the scenarios they're in so vivid and raw and IBFIWRFO i eat it up😭😭😭

i never used to like reading angst but you execute it so well that i'll literally love it when you do it (e.g. fics like two people, when nobody's watching, potential) IDK MAN it physically hurts my heart I FEEL THE EMOTIONS OF THE CHARACTERS MAN IDK

when nobody's watching: when the reader's looking at renjun thru the years from her perspective when the reader wants to reach out, I WANT TO REACH OUT LIKESJFGOWRG WHEN RENJUN SMASHES THE BOTTLE AT THE PARTY YK????

two people: the way you describe jeno and y/n's suffocating one way relationship, I UNDERSTAND THE READER!!! jeno is perfect, he tries to fix the relationship but IT JUST DOESNT WORK THAT WAY the relationship was way over before he tried to fix it and ITS SO REAL!!!! the inner turmoil the reader went thru and the slow changing feels for mark WAS JUST- UGH *chefs kiss

potential: man. where do i even start with this fic. it's a storyline that i never knew i needed to read in my life. like bar u don't understand, potential had me in despair for the next 4 days. i can understand chenle's pain, y/n's confusion, their complicated love for each other. i don't think words can describe how special this story is to me.

this.... became a lot longer than i anticipated and IM SORRY FOR RAMBLING ON ABOUT THE SAME THREE FICS OVER AND OVER OSBFOWRGO but seriously tho, i genuinely love everything you put out, keep up the hard work💗

(i think this is the longest ask i've ever sent lol)

i treat writing as my therapy session so maybe thats why the characters are always so raw- NO but omg this is such an honor bc i really focus more on the characters than the plot i think and i really try to develop them really well and stuff and i focus a lot on the feelings and emotions so >:((( i am so happy that you like that about my writing !!!

the paradox is that i HATE reading angst. like if its in a long fic where its mixed up i dont mind and i think its important to have angstier parts in a long fic too but if its a drabble and its angsty i just won't read it LMAOOO

when nobody's watching was such a spontaneous fic istg i wrote it in what. two days? at uni LMAO. i got the idea when i was like,, watching this guy from afar and then i realised i ALWAYS DO THIS like i always have those silly crushes on ppl and never tell them bc im scared but i care so deeply for ppl that dont even know i exist 😭😭😭 but also i find that i used to change myself a lot to fit into social circles and even tho uni was really lonely for me at first that i kinda let go of that the same way renjun did so it was definitely cathartic to write :,)

honestly to this day idk how i even managed to write two people. like i think its the only fic i have thats about adult mature ppl LMAO all my other fics are like college aus and shit. like where did all of that pain and angst even come from ???? but i am so glad u liked it, i didnt expect ppl to enjoy that kind of fic >:((

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON POTENTIAL why are my best fics always the most spontaneous. its literally like in my top 5 fav fics ive ever written so i am insanely happy that you like it sm !!! <33 chenle's character in this fic is insanely personal to me also :,) the readers and his dynamic is also one of my favs ive ever written,, idk idk theres just something about this fic...

i am really honored to recieve this in my inbox its so sweet of you and i definitely appreciate it a LOT hope you dont mind me rambling about the fics i just enjoy talking about my writing :,)

[wu-tvng]

trauma and ptsd.

i don't really like how jarring the font size is for 'title' in the tumblr post so i will put it as a header in the description.

tee-hee:)

this morning or afternoon. i forgot. i mention how i have a lot to say, but seem to have no space or bandwidth to articulate it (it's tiring to introspect and unpack emotional luggage) but i was reading hot literati and i love how captivating short, simple, but intelligent her writing is. i aspire to write as crispy, fun, and me though as her.

i am learning to be gentle with thyself and i am kind of proud with how fast i learn through copying others and extracting only traits i find attractive and enticing into my own character/asrsenal loll. it kind of reminds me of that guy in food wars who copies ppl to the tee and then + his own cherry on top in the finale. kind of making it his, but not really bc 99 vs 1%

my problem is that i lack life experience and i isolate myself too much that im out of touch with reality. hence y im 24 sitting in front of my mac at almost 1am typing this, unemployed, and still acting like i am shi. im extremely delusional for this, but somehow i have a feeling things will sort itself out and ill be ok like i always wanted.

but the quote of being able to enjoy the moment and finding content and happiness in the daily or mundane keeps cycling back to me in this era. i think the universe is trying to tell me some.

i think i am content. and i am grateful. and i am ok, but not happy. i am v happy that i am ok bc for a long time this year i was not ok. i was actually extremely depressed and bed-ridden for months with occasional hangouts with eric that has secretly save me and directed me for the better. bc human interaction is important no matter how easy it is to be a hermit in the digital age and lock oneself in their corner of the internet (me, currently doing that rn (im a hypocrispy) :())

i no im a different person than before, maybe more lost, maybe more unhinged, def more fat. but i really dont know how much i have changed. howev, this year since i move back home has metamorphiszed me, and im not sure if its for the better bc i was undergoing one of the few intense depressive periods in life. i honestly cant say that it was my most depressing but all the hard ones always happen at home lol. its like a recurring epilepsy i have here. i have many intense depressive episodes that it seems that each new adversity i go thru that triggers this turbulence is easier than the past one. lol its actually crazy and it might explain why im ok even though i think most ppl might be wrecked by the frequent turmoil i have to navigate thou it often times is self-imposed i guess. but also this one was def a butterfly effect influence by years of adversion in treating mental health and not learning to deal with stress and responsiblities and pressure well. but i guess thats y im 24 and alive dealing, feeling, and not quitting:)

[ateezmakemeweep]

its literally 2am where i am i took so long to read part ten only cause i fken love angst but i needed to re-read every dumb stupid lie choi fucking san was feeding y/n then i contemplated if i should sleep or say something. kim hongjoong ilysm … WHEN i wake up in a few hrs i’ll reread and try attempt to say something nice about choi fken san… btw your writing never misses like seriously the way you played with my emotions tonight i am a mess (not as much as y/n though), i cant wait to see what happens in part 11 hopefully san gets punched hard in the face by wooyoung, yeosang and yunho - 🥥

(2/2) but seriously i loved what you are doing with bty because no fic has ever had me pause and prepare myself for whats about to come then go way over what i expected/thought of. and that goes to all your other fics i reread like richboy!seonghwa, richboy!yeosang, badboy!seonghwa and your secret relationship fic with yeosang… oh and cant forget dilf!seonghwa. its ok to critique your own writing but from the readers perspective your writing is truly moving, you are MAGICAL!! 🤍- 🥥

thank you so much bc u cannot even imagine how much turmoil this stupid fanfic has put me thru JVFDKVKD

[intangiblyyourswrites]

1 thru 35. go crazy.

lksadjlsjdf killing me here. Putting it under the cut because it’s long.

1. From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

4 stars? Idk. I don’t like rating myself.

2. Why do you write fanfiction?

This is a loaded question. I think I started reading fanfiction back when I was in middle school (so 12-13) and I was just blown away by the stories people created with characters I already loved. So I guess I wanted to tell my own stories? Put onto a page what my imagination conjured up. I had hated writing before then lol.

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

My initial thought to this was that it doesn’t. 🙈 But um I like angst and I like character development and they tend to go hand in hand.

4. Are there any writers that inspire you?

Oh gosh, so many. I wouldn’t be where I am now or writing what I do without the squad of writers I look up to. To name a few:

@embyrinitalics, @ashleyswrittenwords, and @ghostgirl19posts for general inspiration (and when I need a pep talk). @spicychestnut and @honestground for smut. @glitterfay (milkywayes on AO3) when I want to get lost in metaphors. 

5. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

Probably Sehnsucht at the moment.

6. What element of writing do you find comes easily?

Writing emotional turmoil. lol.

7. What element of writing do you struggle with most?

8. Which character(s) do you find easiest to write?

9. Which character(s) do you find most difficult to write?

10. What’s your favorite genre to write for?

👀

11. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most?

Ang—

I’m kind of all over the place as far as theme/tone/genre, but lots and lots of Zelink recently.

12. Tell us about a WIP you’re excited about.

13. First fandom you ever wrote for?

14. What’s your favorite fandom to write for?

LoZ, currently. Which makes me feel awful about my SnS WIPs.

15. What’s the weirdest fandom you’ve ever written for?

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)?

17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for.

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

Unhinged will probably be it if I ever finish it. But I wrote a HaoxOC fic way back when that I’m just kind of like “Ew, no” thinking back on it. Not a fan of OCs in fics usually.

19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between?

I love everything.

20. Gen fic or shippy stuff?

Shippy stuff. Not everyone needs to be involved with someone but I like there to be hints of things at least.

21. Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!)

Zelink! And Sorina for romantic.

I write Revali crushing on Zelda a lot but I do love them as brOTPs.

Takumi & Soma for platonic too.

22. Do you listen to anything while you write?

Depends. I think I actually write better without music, but every now and then, I hit a good streak of tracks on Spotify that work well as background music and gets me in the zone. 

Evermore is great fic inspiration, but sometimes I get caught up in the lyrics and end up not writing at all. 

23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

Independent ideas mostly because I’m always afraid I won’t do the prompts or challenges justice (like ahhhh what if you requested a prompt and end up hating what I wrote??).

By the way, for everyone who has submitted any requests/prompts, I’ve got them! I just won’t reply to them until I finish writing whatever it is that you requested.

24. One-shots or multi-chaptered works?

One-shots because I’m terrible at finishing multi-chaptered stuff.

25. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic? Tell us about them!

26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

27. What’s the nicest comment you’ve ever received?

28. How well do you handle criticism when it comes to your writing?

Tbh I get a bit defensive at first but then I calm down and reflect on them and they’re usually very helpful. So I’m very pro-constructive criticism. I think it’s a great way to learn and improve as a writer (and with everything).

29. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out?

Writing in first person was outside of my comfort zone and it turned out alright. Great learning experience though!

30. Tooth-rotting fluff or merciless angst?

31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

Not for fics. Evelyn (Eve) and Adelaide are the main characters of the original work I may or may not ever finish. They’re twins! And Blaise is Eve’s goofy best friend that definitely has a crush on her. But both Even and Blaise are great fighters. Adelaide starts off curious and whiny, but grows into a fighter as well when her sister goes missing.

32. Summarize a random fic of yours in 10 words or less.

Demon prince does not care for sacrificial bride.

[fanfic-me-up]

Shinsou, kaminari, bakugou 😳

ugh shinsou is too cool for me. i think i’d have a hard time tryna start up conversation and it’d just fall flat and i’d never try to talk to him again lol so... 5/10 👀

i love kaminari like so much and i love writing him, but i don’t know if i’d realistically be able to handle someone as chaotic as him 😭 oh god this hurts so much to say but ima have to put him at like a 7/10 even tho he’s an 11/10 in my heart 🥺

hmm if it’s bakugou in the show then hell no. i will not put myself thru that emotional turmoil. that boy will break my heart into a million pieces and i am NOT here for that. but if he’s more mature and a healthy entj then maybe a 6/10.

Fox news Power Rankings: How high do Seahawks fly? - NFL.com

Fox news

That became once an inconceivable week of soccer. I mediate this sport has an genuine likelihood to form some status.

Week 10 resulted in about a deep soul-hunting and intense emotional turmoil at some stage within the pecking-divulge route of of the Vitality Rankings, but I'm going to continually place myself thru a psychological ringer if we are in a position to internet games like this a week.

Wait, he's no longer going to make a decision on the Niners at No. 1 after what came about on Monday evening, is he? You're damn factual he is.

NOTE: The earlier rankings referenced within the lineup under are from the Week 10 Vitality Rankings.

Outdated corrupt: No. 1

The worst aspect about being on the rotten stop of a Monday evening traditional? this will more than seemingly be resurfaced repeatedly on telecasts unless the stop of time. The Niners lost their first sport of the season in crushing style: at house, in top time, to a division rival, within the final second of time previous regulation. If uncomfortable Traipse McLaughlin makes his closing kick, the 49ers are 9-0 and we're all talking about their bottomless wisely of internet to the bottom of. But McLaughlin yacked it, and all of sudden the Niners are in a dogfight with the Seahawks within the NFC West. San Francisco wants to internet wholesome on the offensive aspect of the ball: With George Kittle (knee/ankle) sidelined and Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) knocked out of the sport early, Jimmy Garoppolo became once left with a dearth of honest recommendations ... and it showed. The 49ers tranquil truly feel just like the becoming crew within the NFL thru 10 weeks, but the Seahawks showed us the gap is minimal.

Outdated corrupt: No. 4

Sunday's matchup in opposition to the winless Bengals seemed unfair on paper, and it became once even crueler in motion. Lamar Jackson robbed the Bengals of their company at some stage in a single other inconceivable performance thru which he done with a truly perfect passer ranking and delivered his finest highlight-reel bustle yet in a 49-13 laugher. The Ravens are knocking on the door for the AFC's top seed, and it all starts with the 22-yr-historic under center. " what number of little childhood in this country are going to be wearing No. 8 taking half in quarterback for the following 20 years?" Ravens coach John Harbaugh rhetorically requested Jackson on the sideline Sunday, after telling him: "You changed the sport, man." Harbaugh's factual: Jackson has changed the sport. All the discuss evaluating the second-yr megastar to Michael Vick has been selling Jackson brief this complete time. Jackson is extra healthy than top Vick ... and he's factual getting began.

We're coming off a harrowing week for the Patriots and their followers, who no longer most productive had to route of their crew's first loss of the season -- final Sunday evening's lopsided defeat to the Ravens -- but also the painful reality that Contemporary England no longer holds the pinnacle place within the NFL dot com Vitality Rankings. Yes, Patriot Plot became once shaken out of its Pleasantville-like existence, but let's all be aware that hell hath no fury like Invoice Belichick coming off a loss and a bye. Contemporary England is 14-5 in put up-bye games at some stage within the Belichick Dynasty. The Eagles diagram the difficult assignment -- they're the first of four straight opponents with a hit recordsdata to face the defending champions. That is comparatively a alternate from the first half of, when Contemporary England fattened up on one of the essential essential worst teams in soccer.

After it became once in all places, Russell Wilson informed ESPN he didn't mediate he'd "ever been piece of a sport that crazy." The Seahawks knocked off the previously undefeated 49ers, 27-24 in OT, in a sport that had extra twists and turns than a daylight cleaning soap opera. That which you would possibly perchance well write a book on the time previous regulation length by myself, as Wilson threw a crushing crimson-zone interception, the Niners overlooked a would-be sport-a hit field aim, then Jason Myers purchased his season attend no longer off target with a sport-winner within the closing seconds of the additional length. Wilson's staunch hand is irreplaceable in stress cookers like this, but the sport ball has to switch to Jadeveon Clowney, who performed like a celebrity. Clowney lived in San Francisco's backfield, created turnovers, scored a touchdown and on the complete ensured he'll soon internet a contract that makes him surely one of the essential highest-paid defenders in soccer. Hello on the region of job for both player and crew.

If the Packers tear on to purchase their first Colossal Bowl title in on the subject of a decade, a chubby phase of the eventual DVD season retrospective would possibly perchance be centered on how Sunday's sport ended at snowy Lambeau Enviornment. Christian McCaffrey, the NFL's finest working attend, became once 2 yards from the aim line with the likelihood to place the Panthers in dwelling to tie. And the Green Bay protection rose to the occasion to stuff the Carolina megastar and clinch an limitless purchase. The Packers' protection has been an scenario for weeks: Since Week 4 and coming into Sunday, Mike Pettine's unit ranked 31st in yards allowed per play, 30th in completions of 20 or extra yards allowed and 30th in third-down protection, per The Athletic. The Pack D on the subject of collapsed on Sunday, as wisely: McCaffrey's closing elevate became once the 18th play of an 88-yard Panthers pressure. But Green Bay didn't rupture. It became once a dramatic stand to plot upon.

Outdated corrupt: No. 2

A head-scratching loss by the Saints, who were dominated in all phases by a downtrodden Falcons crew that hadn't shown a pulse in weeks. Drew Brees became once sacked six times -- tied for the most ever in his career -- and became once pressured 18 times by a relentless Atlanta front seven. How delicate became once the defensive surge by the Falcons? They managed seven sacks all season sooner than Sunday. The Saints were wisely under 300 yards of complete offense sooner than they began collecting first downs in a closing garbage-time pressure that also produced zero components. "Put off a scenario, and there would possibly perchance be a staunch likelihood they won that scenario," Saints coach Sean Payton stated after the sport. It became once ... wisely ... as irregular an as we have viewed in this 2019 NFL season, and it begs the quiz: Is this a brand of danger in Contemporary Orleans, or became once it factual a truly irascible day on the region of job?

Outdated corrupt: No. 10

The substantial epic headed into Sunday evening's big matchup in opposition to the Cowboys centered on Kirk Cousins and whether or no longer he would possibly perchance perchance well upward push to the occasion in top time in opposition to a high quality opponent, the form of surroundings that has seemingly tremulous the quarterback within the previous. But then the sport began, Cousins performed with a staunch hand, and we were reminded who the correct megastar of Minnesota's assault truly is. Dalvin Cook delivered one other All-Pro performance in Dallas, finishing with 183 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in a 28-24 purchase. Cook and Cousins didn't operate it by myself: The Vikings' protection became once in bend-but-operate no longer-rupture mode in opposition to a high-powered Dallas assault, typified by Eric Kendricks' breakup of a circulation supposed for Ezekiel Elliott within the closing minute that ended the Cowboys' closing scoring likelihood. Kendricks has been surely one of the essential becoming duvet linebackers in soccer this season ... Dak Prescott picked the rotten "mismatch."

Outdated corrupt: No. 7

If the Cowboys aimed to present the sphere on Sunday evening they ought to tranquil be considered as legit Colossal Bowl contenders, they didn't operate a truly staunch job of it. Lapses in judgment and failures in execution killed Dallas in a 28-24 loss to the Vikings, which dropped the Cowboys into a tie with the Eagles atop a extinct NFC East. Developed analytics verbalize us that Jason Garrett's crew is surely one of the essential becoming in soccer, but there would possibly perchance be frequently been reality to that ol' Parcellism: You're what your document says which you would possibly perchance well additionally very wisely be. The Cowboys are 5-4, comparatively better than mediocre. Tavon Austin's comely-mediate call on a Vikings punt within the closing minute is emblematic of Dallas' struggles. He informed newshounds after the sport he became once urged to demand a comely mediate to save quite so much of seconds on the clock. Fortune favors the heroic ... and that ain't the Cowboys.

Outdated corrupt: No. 9

For the second consecutive yr, and for the third time within the final four seasons, the Texans have began the season at 6-3. Or no longer it's place to be in, and a substantial piece of Houston's success would possibly perchance perchance even be prove within the trenches. The Texans' offensive line, led by key late-summer season acquisition Laremy Tunsil, has executed a so much better job of keeping Deshaun Watson. And the unit's opening up holes for a working sport that is been surely one of the essential essential productive in soccer. The Carlos Hyde- Duke Johnson tandem has piled up on the subject of 1,000 yards, averaging 4.9 per elevate. The absence of J.J. Watt will seemingly become extra pronounced as the season progresses, but Houston's front seven did handsome work in shutting down Leonard Fournette and Gardner Minshew in Week 9. Houston entered Week 10 having allowed the third-fewest speeding yards per sport (84.1) in soccer.

Patrick Mahomes returned to motion and looked shut to himself, the finest aspect that will near out of Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

One of many finest surprises of the first half of of the season? Scoring components is annoying work for the Eagles. Carson Wentz became once a buzzy MVP opt coming into 2019 (I bow my head in shame), but practically nothing about this offense has been award-well-known up to now. Entering Week 10, Philly ranked 14th in components per sport, 18th in yards per sport, 21st in passing yards per sport and 12th in speeding yards per sport. The Iggles are the textbook definition of a middling offense, and the numbers attend that up. Don't sleep on how grand DeSean Jackson's season-wrecking belly rupture danger this offense -- he became once a playmaker who would possibly perchance perchance well opt defenses factual along with his house-bustle ability. One straightforward vivid place? 2nd-round working attend Miles Sanders, who has 641 scrimmage yards thru 9 weeks. Easiest Raiders standout Josh Jacobs -- the Offensive Rookie of the Year common -- has extra amongst first-yr execs.

The Steelers' protection continues to resurrect a seemingly lost season. Mike Tomlin's D held the Rams to a single field aim on offense and compelled four turnovers to command Pittsburgh's fifth purchase in six games. The Steelers, left for pointless after an 0-3 birth, are within the thick of the AFC wild-card lunge with seven weeks to play. Pittsburgh is up to 26 takeaways this season, the most turnovers forced by the crew in its first 9 games of a season because it piled up 28 in that span in 1987. There would possibly perchance be less room for excitement on the offensive aspect of the ball, which managed factual 273 yards and 10 components in opposition to the Rams. Quarterback Mason Rudolph, filling in for Ben Roethlisberger, has been an efficient sport supervisor, for the most piece, but the Steelers will want to examine a leap in his pattern for this to be larger than a truly feel-staunch epic within the AFC.

The Colossal Bowl hangover is genuine. The Rams were flummoxed by Invoice Belichick on the first Sunday of February and have not been remotely the similar on offense since. It became once all laid bare on a late Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, the place the once-mighty Los Angeles assault managed factual one field aim and 306 yards in a loss that additional jeopardized the playoff hopes of the defending NFC champions. Jared Goff looked helpless looking out to operate performs within the face of a majestic Pittsburgh front seven, and the Rams' working sport remained painfully pedestrian. Todd Gurley became once held under 100 yards for the seventh straight sport, and when requested in a while why the weak All-Pro didn't behold the ball within the fourth quarter, Sean McVay equipped, "That became once factual form of the rotation."

Oakland's protection made lifestyles depressing for Rivers, who threw three picks and had two extra wiped away by penalty.

The Payments looked like a center-of-the-pack crew on Sunday in opposition to the Browns, therefore their placement on the Vitality Rankings.

On protection, the Browns were in a position to march 82 yards on 10 performs for the tear-ahead ranking late within the fourth quarter. On particular teams, kicker Stephen Hauschka overlooked two-field aim attempts, at the side of the 53-yarder that sealed Buffalo's fate within the closing minute.

The Colts performed without their initiating quarterback and top extensive receiver on Sunday, and it showed in opposition to the Dolphins.

The veteran executed no longer up to half of of his passes and threw three interceptions in his 10th straight loss as a starter. That which you would possibly perchance well operate worse than Hoyer as your backup, but there would possibly perchance be also a cause he became once accessible after Andrew Excellent fortune all of sudden retired in late August. Brissett wants to be on the sphere, especially as the schedule tightens up with three straight games in opposition to AFC South rivals.

Rivers became once under fixed duress as a consequence of a surprisingly meddlesome Oakland front seven, which had its plan with an L.A. offensive line lacking both initiating tackles. The low point for the Chargers came on a closing possession that went like this: incompletion, incompletion, incompletion, penalty (first down), incompletion, incompletion, incompletion, interception.

Tennessee's protection, which has been requested to lend a hand the present for years, gave up 530 yards and 32 components to a Kansas City assault that looked as if it'd be on the sphere for the complete afternoon. But the Ryan Tannehill-led Titans offense made the most of its opportunities.

Hi Josie,  Thank you for these questions! Here are my responses, I was lengthy with them as to provide more material and offer a big picture. I was wondering if you could speak about your “passing time during a pandemic” guide. How and why did you decide to include the suggestions you did, and what went into that thought process?  Some of my most successful content is my swipe thru guides (you can find these in my highlight labeled 'GUIDES'), and they feature suggestions and advice from personal experience in a simple style. I used this same format to make the "passing time during the pandemic" guide. The back drop image of this guide is a detail shot of the inside of a cave, as a symbol of the cave-like nature of quarantine at home, and the google images pasted throughout are to add a surreal and playful quality.  I chose to share exercises that I take part in and enjoy that have cleansing and creative undertones, and offered specific directions on how to approach them. For example, instead of just writing "draw a picture", I included directions on how to do a specific drawing exercise that doesn't require skill or any special supplies. Instead of saying "watch movies", I recommended creating a watch list from the favorites of your friends and romantic interests for greater connection & conversation points.  Instead of saying "meditation", I offered a specific visualization meditation.  I also purposely avoided using language that pushed "being productive" or "learning a new skill" but more so language that suggested finding pleasure in small, accessible activities available to us. I believe we are all aware that we can put this time into learning a whole new language or writing a book or running daily, but will we? Emotions and energy are complex, especially in such spooky circumstances, and I think its important to be accepting about all the ways your energy & abilities can possibly show up for you. I wanted my recommendations to be kind and low pressure in this exact way. Also, it was important for me to include options that were entirely free and accessible, but also include a reminder about online shopping for the many still doing so. I wanted to remind everyone who is shopping that small businesses need their money the most right now, and used that slide to uplift a couple of woman-owned, small business brands that I work with.  Additionally, could you speak more broadly about how you’re personally approaching this time at home? I actually put myself through quite a bit or turmoil in the first two weeks of quarantine wondering "who to be" during this time, and essentially which identities to hold onto. I recently realized that the only way I will stay as level-headed as possible is by becoming fully aware of the nature of quarantine, and only indulging behaviors and activities that support this nature. For example, needlessly chatting on dating apps and developing online crushes can be fun, but why create a flurry of romantic or sexual energy that cannot be fulfilled? It turns into frustration and resentment eventually, as well as deep longings for your life before quarantine, and life after it. I am doing my best to lean into exactly what quarantine is, nothing more.  I started a journal today that I am dedicating to only quarantine content - collages, pressing flowers, gratitude lists, journal entries, line drawings, etc. I realized if I can't pull from the spices of life (romance! social experiences! swimming! living!) that I normally do, I'll just have to pull from exactly what is in front of me - this specific situation. Making my quarantine experience my subject. As far as financial stress, economic stress, health stress, and the many unknowns of this situation - I am actively choosing not to indulge them. I am a firm believer in not creating worry in the imagination. I am wearing a mask at the grocery store, I am staying inside constantly, I am checking in with friends, I am following all the directions - but I am actively not placing a layer of terror & doom on top of it. I left my own house & studio (a large shared house of artists) to come stay with my family during quarantine. It is the same apartment I grew up in, a small complex in West Los Angeles, and everything looks pretty much the same since childhood. I don't have my own room here, there is no independent identity or privacy here, no "sighswoon aesthetic", and I am sharing a bed with my sister. But being close to them, having meals together, and the sense of consistency has been extremely healing and safe. I also know that my mom would be constantly worried if I was elsewhere during this time, and giving her that relief makes me happy. I have adapted and feel grateful to have this option. What is the relationship between what you’re doing/feeling/thinking personally and what you’re communicating to your followers? I keep any stresses I feel or news reactions to myself and family/friends. I decided at the very beginning of the pandemic that I wasn't going to repost news stories, express doom, or discuss anything political or economic on my page. The news and twitter is doing that 24/7, as well as most conversations with peers in real life. I wanted to keep the nature of sighswoon consistent to what it has always been - a place of light existential theorizing, aesthetic, and humor. Maintaining a sense of normalcy and consistency in sighswoon not only helps me stay afloat emotionally, but also continues to give my online community exactly what they signed up for. I wanted to continue providing soothing and playful content that addresses quarantine and emotions felt during it. I like the idea of people knowing that they can go to some channels for news and heavy realities, but also enter other virtual worlds for entertainment or general positivity when they need it.  On my Patreon platform, I have been discovering new ways to connect with everyone and create new forms of digital activities. Last week, we had a book club that took place in the "close friends" area where we read Agua Viva by Clarice Lispector over the course of 5 days, and then had a 2 hour LIVE on instagram talking about the book and sharing our favorite quotes. It was SO insightful and exciting, and something I don't think I would have thought of if it wasn't for the circumstances. Quarantine is definitely pushing me to be more creative and offer more. What does it mean to have a large social media following at a time like this?  I believe it means to continue what you were providing but with a much greater awareness and sensitivity, as well as honesty. It requires greater creativity in re-formatting what you offer to fit the circumstances. . The yoga influencers are leading free live classes,
