edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here
And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:
No, this was not an ISAT reference!
Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT
(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)
If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that
#egg speaks#writing#polls#my writing#egg writes#my polls#poetry#time loops#listen I want to run this again#time loop poll#<- check that tag on my blog for the original 10 option version lmao#unreality#you know I didn't think I'd get fed up with people making isat jokes about this#I thought it'd be like oh hey neat same hat#we both like the same game#but people keep going “oh this is JUST an ISAT reference”#as if it's not a genuine work of creativity I did myself. it feels a bit devaluing#“op you played isat” yes but that came after the original!!!!!#I KNOW it's not meant like that but I want people to engage in my work as its own thing. you can make jokes about similar media!!!#but this is it's own thing!!!!#I want people to like it for what it is. I want people to enjoy it outside of other media. I want it to stand on its own#I'm flattered someone said it was good enough that they think it could be narration from the game and read just as well!!!!#but like. idk. all the other medias popping up (pmmm. orv. higurashi. etc) aren't people calling it a /reference/#if I wanted it to be an ISAT reference I would have tagged it originally. I would have targeted it toward ISAT fans more intentionally.#I love fanworks but this was an ode to time loops alone. I wanted people to think. to have to CHOOSE. I wanted PARTICIPATION#time loops as a narrative and as horror and as a group activity via polls on tumblr. also s/o to the person who said 40 hr work week so tru

THE JETSET LIFE IS GONNA KILL YOU, ERIC CARTER!
my laptop charger uhhhhhh. met its end in a very permanent, very fire hazardy kind of way last week. while waiting for a replacement I decided to try and get some work done at the library and was asking around for some urban fantasy (extra points for a mystery plot of some kind) recommendations to check out while I was there
the eric carter series was mentioned a couple of times, AND had the added bonus of having a necromancer for a main character. I love necromancers. someday I'm gonna play one in a game instead of immediately defaulting to vampires.
Fire Season, Stephen Blackmoore
#i was also told to check out johannes cabal because. again. necromancers. and sandman slim#i'll get around to it next year probably#ive had urban fantasy on the mind ever since I did a full re read of the dresden files and then a SECOND re read of it right after#but from a different starting point and then did an unnecessary examination of harry as an unreliable narrator#with a very specific kind of world vision that does funny things to his perception. idk what purpose that served#ANYWAY. i got a whole list of gritty urban fantasy recommendations to slowly work through next year#i dont really play around with original english language urban fantasy fiction very often because it's like#a lot of what i want out of it I already get out of japanese/korean comics I read and also filipino horror#so I'm not exactly starved for it except that I'm low key kind of starving for it. when will filipino horror return from the war#anyway i appreciate the hate the main character has for spanish colonialism#and as a long time whump enthusiast i love it when a character goes through the absolute wringer#creative liberties were taken. i thought about rolling up the sleeve on his. left? arm and then thought about the tattoos and changed#my mind lmao. i started drawing some of them tho. i once dated a guy who was similarly tattooed and for a minute i thought#'well i can just rip off all of that' and then i thought 'wait i still have to draw it' and decided Not To#eric carter series

I'm so so tired and sad.. My dad passed away a few days ago; it wasn't sudden, he got diagnosed at the start of 2022 and we knew he wouldn't have many years left. And it got very clear that he was at the end of his life a month ago.
But the stupid thing is, most of my exhaustion isn't even from grieving him. I feel like I've barely had time for that. There are so many people who want to visit like, we've had almost non-stop visitors for a month. And it's amazing that people love my dad so much but hhh I'm socially drained.
And all the arrangements.. I wrote something for the funeral today and it was such a struggle and it was so emotionally exhausting. Thank god there's four of us helping each other out.
#I'm dreading the time after the funeral - with no one and nothing left to take care of but also having to go back to work#I'm also dreading the funeral#and the day before#I'm just not really doing too well currently#tw: death#and the stupidest thing of all is that I put every bit of creativity I have left in that atla halloween drawing#and I got sad bc no one really seems to like it lmao..#ikke

I know this has been said so many times in so many different ways, and I have nothing new to add, really. But I am going to say it anyway, because I am just so ridiculously grateful for fanfiction writers. There are innumerable fanfics out there - incredible, mind-blowing stories that are all shared with us for free. Written out of a pure, profound love for existing stories and characters, a need to know them better, explore them, add to them, do something with them the source material never dared. To make ourselves and others feel better, sometimes worse, but mostly just to make us feel.
And don't get me started on the quality of so much of the fanfiction out there. I know talent is an debatable term, but for want of a better one: the sheer talent and dedication of so many of these authors, most of whom have actual, real life jobs and families and other responsibilities, is just astounding. So many ideas, so many beautiful words, so much creativity. As a fanfiction writer myself, I know that it can sometimes be challenging to be creative, to find time and energy to write, when life is just. So much. And yet the love I have for these characters just leaves me desperately wanting to make time and energy to tell the stories I want to tell. Writing fanfiction is a hobby, yes, but for many people, it's also more than a hobby. It's a passion, a deeply rooted desire, even a community.
As a reader, too, I know how incredibly valuable and important these stories can be. I've spent the past few days doing nothing but devouring fic because I've been feeling too crummy to do anything else, and it's been an absolute blessing. Every fic I read was more amazing than the last. They all made me cry, laugh, think, yearn, and just feel so much better. So, I know this has been said many times before, but I just had to tell you again how much I love you, fanfiction writers. Love you with my whole entire, sappy, zero-chill heart.
Thank you for everything you do, all the hours, the blood, sweat and tears, the love you put into your stories, and thank you for sharing them. For just handing them over and releasing them into our custody once they're done, for all of us to read and enjoy, expecting nothing in return but some kudos and comments. That's incredible, ok? You're all incredible, whether your stories are 'popular' or not. So many people would be utterly bereft without you and your efforts, and I just needed to tell you again how appreciated you are ♥️
#I am a little emotional about this#as you perhaps can tell lmao#it's just#FANFICTION#it's the best!!!!!!!!!!#I'd be lost without it#I'm particularly talking about the stucky fandom#(unsurprisingly)#but it really applies to all fandoms#and all creative writing#all creative hobbies#but I'm specifically talking about fanfiction here#it's just wild and amazing#<3333

Love the way you're running out of life (T+; 1,352)
Draco Malfoy / Harry Potter
Read here on AO3
Part of DCC Holiday Exchange, written for the loveliest @bicholsdrarrysideblog 😚
Tags:
Werewolf Draco Malfoy, Angst, Creature Fic, Obsession, Light Stalking
Summary:
Potter smells of pure magic, and Draco is teetering on the edge of sanity
A lil snippet:
The Forbidden Forest. Stonehenge. Dragons and thestrals and the Whomping Willow. That is what Potter smells like. Like frozen pine sap. Like heated metal. Like every phase of the moon. And it calls to Draco ��� to his bones, to his blood, to his essence. The call is a million hooks pulling him apart, towards something that isn’t there — or is there, sometimes, when Draco is subjected to existing in the same space as Potter. The scent of him is almost corporeal, then, as it always is on the mornings after a full moon.
#hp#hp fanfic#drarry#drarry fanfic#draco x harry#harry potter#draco malfoy#drarry creative collective#dcc holiday gift exchange 2024#listen i'm like genuinely proud of this one#i had spectacular help but also like#i'm so pleased with the way this one turned out#AND OBVIOUSLY THE WAY IT WAS RECEIVED#but i finally have something for when people ask 'whats something youve made that youre proud of'#not that i'm not pleased with the other things i've posted#because i am#(for the most part lmao we all have our awkward creations)#(listen i'm like half tempted to fix things in that one old soa fic of mine lmao)#(like i want to rewrite it not to change anything but to expand it based on the skills and points of interest of today)#(but that was a tangent we didn't mean to discuss here)#i am really happy with the stories i've not written but implied at in my microfics and i think that's for me the most fun part of writing#just#this one right here is one more step towards where i want my writing to go and i'm really really happy (-:#hey sorry for rambling on like this in the tags i forgot i was posting a fic and not a diary entry

#lego monkie kid#lego monkie kid fanart#monkie kid#monkie kid fanart#lmk#lmk fanart#lmk mayor#monkie kid mayor#blue and violet#I think Mayor sees art in a way in terms of ideas rather than skill level#Macaque's ideas are very clear when he draws - even if it looks like shit he can clearly convey his point#especially with his self portraits#so Mayor thinks Macaque's is good at making a point when he draws#they themselves on the other hand? not really#When they drew themselves it was not clear that it is even them to begin with#and thats not because they suck qt drawing#its because they don't now how to convey a point or an idea - let alone express themselves#in fact this guy barely has ideas at all in general- they might be one of the least creative people in existence#so I guess what I'm trying to say in the tags (which I rant too much in) is that I have thought about this too much LMAO

Hi! I felt obligated to leave this message after binge reading all your fanfics, as I absolutely loved you writing style. It was a rather immersive experience and I haven't felt so invested into a premise in quite awhile. I left a few comments, but I'm not sure they show how much I actually loved, LOVED your writing! Thanks for sharing it with the world, I will now proceed to think about your Sun, Moon, and aus every night for the next 10 years :]
thank you!!!<3<3 I saw your comments and they really did make my day!!
It's kind of wild to me that so many people consider my writing to be really immersive, I always worry that I get too caught up in writing internal monologues and trains of thought and totally neglect to write whats actually physically happening in a scene lol ^^'
#tbh until recently I never really considered myself a good writer in general#and then I got obsessed with the dca and started writing fics and its like???? I'm?? actually decent at this?? all the sudden?????#I guess either that one singular creative writing class I failed did a LOT of heavy lifting or becoming unhinged about a blorbo really does#just rapidly improve your art lmao#asks

Galantis and Michael spoke with Rolling Stone about the origins of Lighter and the collaborative process
#if you're on the fence about this song i highly recommend reading this article#it is FASCINATING and answers a lot of questions i had about the song 💙💙#5sos#5 seconds of summer#lighter#kh4f post#do i have a tag for print articles? i should if i don't - get on that past and future Crystal#anyways#I knew these types of songs originate out of writing camps so I'm not surprised to hear it was a pre-existing song in search of a collab#but i love love LOVE that 5sos came in guns ablaze with notes and instrumentation and like... collaboration#and all because they didn't know that's not how these things work 🥰🥰#it's so endearing and speaks so much to them as a creative force#and that Galantis was surprised but receptive to that is absolutely everything#also there are some GEM michael quotes in here lmao#just a 10/10 article tbqh

trying to look for a ttrpg group in spaces where I can't just go 'listen I want to play this shit in the tumblr fandom kind of model (gay subtext extremely welcome bordering on essential, mutual unhinged character psychoanalysis, we could create a novel of a backstory together to make this sadder, let's all play with our OC dolls together and also sometimes dice are rolled I guess)' and be readily understood and/or not be immediately side-eyed or denigrated for my inherent unavoidable tumblerinaness feels like such an annoying debuff to deal with on the quest. like I know my people exist out there but how do I express myself in the right way and wade through all the copious not-it (not for me) dynamics to find them!!!
#I feel like a weird kid in the playground trying to find someone who plays the same way as me all over again fhdksjfa#(and if/when I find them -- how the fuck to approach them)#turns out there are so many ways to play rpgs that do not appeal to me in the slightest#there are so many dimensions -- creative interpersonal gameplay-wise -- where you can severely not match with someone lmao#with half of the people I've come across it seems like it would be a struggle just to agree there should be a session 0 :')#but I know I KNOW this could be exactly my kind of fun with the right people it's a little maddening#(my group of friends when I was 12-13 was like... we were trying SO hard to play an rpg without having an rpg to play#some from first principles but with no guidelines to help us stuff#and it was one of my rare 'oh fuck. oh fuck yeah this could be it!!' social moments at that time lol. clearly something instinctive there)#I have been lurking around in a discord server on a more national/local level but I'm not gonna lie... a lot of The Good Old Boys shit#dominating the conversation there. I really don't think they mean to take all the oxygen out of the room for everyone else but uh#it's kind of just what happens. I have seen seen hour-long debates over definitions so esoteric and navel-gazing it would haunt your dreams#trying to wade through that to find the people who might vibe more with me seems... so exhausting and I don't know howww!!#the high masking autistic blues plays again
