i’m so obsessed with the thought of a threesome with hybrid!jake and hybrid!heeseung, like they both are in heat fighting over who owns me by trying knot in me first. ( PLEASE ELABORATE IN THIS IDEA)

hihi! first of all, please do not tell me to elaborate on an idea (especially in all caps)!!! sorry, but i struggle with tone comprehension and with a lack of tone tags this seems very demanding and pushy and i don’t like it T_T i will elaborate on an idea if i want to, and a demand doesn’t really make me feel like writing for it because if you can’t be bothered to take the time to be kind when asking, why should i take my time writing a full drabble?

second of all, i do like this idea but what kind of hybrids? i know you included knotting but i cant be expected to know what type of hybrids you’d like me to write about (if i decide to write for this)

just a little blog update! you might have noticed i haven't been posting as much writing lately... well, to be honest i've been struggling to find the motivation to write. i want to, but it feels like my skills have gotten... idk, worse? even now that i have time, it's like nothing i write is good enough, so i never end up finishing and posting anything. in other words my creative juices have run dry :(

i do want to write though! i will try to get stuff out. i'm rewriting what i've already written for the requests i have, so don't think i've forgotten about them. i hope you can just have a little patience with me :")

tldr: writer's block is hitting me hard, but i'll try to get something posted soon.

i think what rubs me the saddest way about the 'pen ghosts colin and makes him grovel for her forgiveness' narrative playing out on screen is that it would just be heartbreaking from Colin's perspective in such a pointed way, but i don't know if it could conclude with any real satisfaction when he's a fleshed out character

i look at colin and i see a lost, lonely person who is trying so hard to fit in and be loved and understand himself, trying to learn and come into his own, never really clicking with much of anyone in a meaningful way, not completely. how so much of charm is people pleasing, wanting to be wanted. how he told Pen that he was starting to really believe that she 'would never forsake' him, how he praised and admired her loyalty, her friendship, how he started to really open up to her. how he told her she inspired him. how grateful he was that she tried to keep him from heartache. how she was one of the few people who didn't talk down to him about discussing his travels, who would listen to him like he listened to her.

and how she will forsake him in that narrative, for one comment, for one action in all the entirety of their friendship. how she will show him, truly solidify, that what he thinks of himself when he's feeling particularly low, that he's empty inside, not worth taking seriously, just a charming mask of a person, that he's not even worth keeping around if he isn't always being as perfect as he can be, is true.

i think this narrative could absolutely be done well! or it could be light if it's played for the bit without delving into colin's character and really only focusing on penelope's. but i want to delve into his character. i crave his perspective, want to know more that shaped him into being who he is. and exploring that, looking into it, the more it feels like that narrative couldn't be played for laughs. it could be gut wrenching, poignant. but it would take time, would have to unfurl. because when someone does that to you, when they decide you aren't worth the effort, the time (for a returned letter, for an explanation or any familiarity, stripped even of a nickname) it's so hard to heal it all. even more so when you were so close.

how he'd always worry about saying anything wrong to her from then. how he'd always have it in the back of his head: is this the one she leaves me for? again? because what if she decides he isn't worth it? she decided once, why not a second time? and, worse: what if she's right to? what if he really never had anything of substance worth holding onto in the first place?

any narrative can be a good narrative, a satisfying romance, if it's written well, if it explores and deepens a character, a connection, if it opens a new facet or shines light onto old ones so they reflect new colors. but i want to know Colin, in it. i don't want it just to serve half a ship's story. i want him to have a perspective, to have a background.

no matter what direction it all goes, what's gonna be done, it should be done in a way that serves the betterment of both their stories

i imagine that after johnny died the ffs probably visited his grave every once in a while when they got the chance. i imagine it being more of an annual thing since they get so busy. either way, i bet scourge would find out about their old friend sooner or later (probably later)

Oh, agreed. I imagine the freedom fighters don't really talk about Johnny much, at least to people outside of their group. I'm unsure if his death is public knowledge (I believe stco mentioned something about a statue of him, which would suggest it is public knowledge, but I don't really acknowledge stco's events unless I really, really like the idea - see: exit sonic - because I haven't read stco and don't really intend to, so idk if I'd even take the statue thing into consideration) but like, either way, the people who need to know already know. If it's public knowledge, everyone already knows about it. The freedom fighters would have no reason to tell Scourge about Johnny; the thought just never crosses their minds. Why would they tell this random stranger about their dead friend? As Scourge gets closer to the group, they'll be more inclined to tell him, but only if they feel there's a need to. Or maybe he'll overhear some of them talk about Johnny, perhaps even discussing visiting his grave, and be like yo, who the fuck is Johnny? Either way, no matter how it happens, you're right, it would be later rather than sooner. Probably for the best, as Scourge isn't the most... sympathetic guy, and his reaction would be "damn. Bummer" at absolute best. He never knew Johnny, after all, so it probably doesn't really hit him just how much Johnny's death impacted the freedom fighters

I loveeeee the headcanon that they visit his grave annually. I suspect it would be an ordeal to get Sonic to agree to go, at least the first time; even though they've already seen how much of a wreck he was when Johnny died, I like to think he still doesn't want them to see him mourn. He'll go to Johnny's grave on his own, but he probably hates it if people show up during such a private moment. Getting him to agree to go with the rest of the freedom fighters would be... a discussion, to say the least, at least the first time. He will eventually give in and go, though

What inspires you to write? And how do you deal with a writer's block?

hi love <3

i think the little things inspire me to write? a product of my daydream, a little sth that catches my attention like a song lyric, a concept photo or a quote. i'm really inspired by kdramas or movies that i watch, or the books that i (used to) read.

as of lately, i'm more into the whole worldbuilding and the plot aspects of writing- that's where i start, and then i fit/shape the member i write for accordingly. the members are just characters in the fic, the world and the setting that i create for them is the primary focus. that mainly inspires/drives me to write.

as for writer's block, when i feel it coming, i try to find the source of it and deal with that directly. sometimes, real life is overwhelming us (real life is always overwhelming me and i actually write to cope so if even writing starts to overwhelm me... i'll have nothing left LOL).

sometimes, it's bc we just need a little break to sort our thoughts out. it's okay to not always actively write and post. i take a little congratulatory break after each fic posted where i just watch sth or read stuff or rot. it works really good bc i actually want to write when the break is over. in case i'm obsessed with an idea i just have to write, i try to do planning instead of actually writing. (and i think in the long run its better to have these little breaks instead of a big writer's block break, but sometimes we do need the big break :') don't be scared of it)

also, i think it's really imp that you know who you are writing for. you should primarily be writing for yourself, and then for the readers. the pressure of posting sometimes gets to us, and that's okay, we just need to take a few deep breaths and think. sometimes, we're losing motivation, there's lack of feedback, or various other factors that make it seem like a writer's block is coming. but really, prioritise yourself in when and what you write <3

and to add on to this-- give yourself the ego boost no one will (or write out of spite like i do). you're amazing, you're a great writer, you write juicy stuff, and that's all that matters! people don't have to love you for you to know that you're a great writer! gaslight yourself if you have to (it works). write out of spite-- hmm, why has no one written xxx trope about yyy member yet? if no one has, i will. this also works.

also, i think the most imp thing in all this yapping is being able to talk to someone if you feel like you can't write. sometimes when you feel like you're stuck and there's only darkness, talking to someone about what you feel, or what you want to write and bouncing ideas with them lights up that bulb in your head and before you know it, you're back on track again.

and if you ever need that person, i'm here for you <3

hey anybody wanna talk about 2003!mikey gender with me im rotating the thought around my head like a big rotisserie chicken right now

[elspeth-catton]

felix and ollie and catton quick headcanons plz :)

also just general saltburn headcanons gimme the lot

okay here's just some random thoughts that have been floating around in my mind

oliver and felix help each other with their papers after they became friends

oliver helps felix get his point across more clearly without rambling aimlessly

felix helps oliver sound less boring and grab his professor's attention better

they both get much better grades with the others help

felix only wants to do school work if something else he has to do is less appealing (aka doing revisions instead of dealing with oliver when he was annoying him) it's giving undiagnosed adhd

speaking of he gets so bored soooo easily

he hyperfixates on people, latches onto them wanting to spend every second with them and then ditches them when they no longer bring him enough serotonin

oliver tries so hard to fight against that he fabricates a whole world for felix (and it's still not enough in the end)

i think by oliver's birthday, the real reason why felix took him to his mom to reconnect is because he was getting bored of oliver again

he wanted to get rid of him in a guilt-free way that still made him the "hero" for bringing a family back together

he had no real reason to go so far out of his way to do that but he would if it was also for his benefit

i do have some cattonquick ideas but i feel like there's very few, if any, where a relationship with them either at oxford or at saltburn wouldn't still end in the same way as it does at oliver's birthday party

unless felix doesn't die that night and they get together later on, his almost death being a nexus for them to start fresh

but i don't think either of them would have a lasting relationship or anything more than friends with benefits, until they both fundamentally change as people

so it's just a question of if they can change enough for it to make a difference...

i feel like a part of my soul has been ripped from my chest and i dont know why.

[stuckasmain]

Still learning that sometimes it’s ok to drop projects and fics, even if it hurts and is kinda “ok so I wasted two weeks trying to focus on this and then doing absolutely nothing for nothing”

I had a bunch of ideas outright. They’re all great and I still think they’re great but I just missed the opportunity I think. That peak pocket of interest and inspiration where I could’ve made them.

It was a small fixation to start with

[byuljoonie]

Hi my loves! I figured it was time I come back to give a small update. So after I ended up taking a break due to my mental, I ended up getting the job I’ve been wanting !!! Idk when I’ll be “back,” but I never really fully left lol. I only write when the time is right, but I come on almost everyday to read your lovely comments and requests! Btw thank you for the love on my valentines post! I won’t give myself a schedule or TL just yet, but I will say I’m never too far away. I love you guys❤️‍🔥🤩 -dubu

[lovesickeros]

I’m so glad your back tho we all missed your writing and your in depth sometimes chaotic mind

vaguely. maybe. perchance

it's always chaotic in my mind though. sometimes it comes out coherent sometimes I just start throwing words together and hope it gets my point across (it doesn't)

[onlymarinette]
