Tough Love Writing Advice
Iâm seeing this a lot on AO3 lately, so time for a friendly PSA.
In your notes/tags/summary, STOP saying your fic sucks. Even if itâs self-deprecation, itâs not doing you any favors. Think of it this way. If you tell me your story is terrible, why should I keep reading?
STOP saying you suck at summaries, especially in your summary. I want to know what your story is about. I would rather have a "bad" summary than no summary at all. No one cares if you âsuckâ at summaries. They just want to read.
STOP saying your fic is garbage and you didnât bother to proofread it. Again, related to above, I have limited time and energy to read. Iâm going to choose stories that appeal to me. If youâre telling me right out the gate your fic is garbage and you donât care enough to even give it a glance over, then why should I stick around? Why should anyone?
Youâre doing yourself a great disservice by knocking yourself down before a reader even gets to your story. Even if writing is a hobby for you, itâs a bad habit to start off with the self-deprecation. It builds zero confidence and gives you an escape to not commit to anything.
Not to sound like a hard ass, but I did this for years. Decades even. And it set me back for so long, and it makes me sad to see so many writers doing it.
It doesnât matter if your fic is actual garbage (I disagree any art is garbage), or that you suck at summaries. You donât need to announce it! You just keep practicing to get better. And it's hard to get better when you constantly tell yourself what you create isn't good enough to enjoy.
#writing#writing advice#fanfiction#advice#ao3#sorry to sound harsh but it's both sad and annoying#i want to get to your lovely stories without having to dig through self-loathing to get there#it gets exhausting after a while#plus your fics do not suck! i love them!

people are always forgetting that love exists outside of romantic relationships. it happens outside of fandom, but i saw a âfan theoryâ about the soul stone and Natâs death and it frustrates me because i understand thatâs a ship, but they were trying to say that âacktually clint LOVED natasha bc if he didnât he wouldnât have gotten the stoneâ and itâs likeâŚyeah. he did. thatâs kind of self evident. but that doesnât mean he wanted to be romantic with her. you love your friends, you love your family, itâs all love. thanos sacrificed gamora for godâs sake. did he want to sleep with her?? NO. itâs proven in canon that romantic love is not necessary.

canât talk about it
[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The comic starts with the sounds "thud, thud, click". Vash, mid-action of peeling an apple, turns to the sound, noticing who it was that entered, and says, "Oh, Wolfwood, you're back." He resumes back to his apple in the next panel as he speaks, "Where'd you go? You snuck out of bed quickly this morning..." Wolfwood's hand then enters the panel, hovering over Vash's cheek and Vash looks up as Wolfwood asks, "Can I?" Vash responds, "Not going to talk about it?" while using a hand to gently hold Wolfwood's hovering hand and presses a kiss to his inner palm.
Vash then gets up fully, setting down the knife down on the table and the apple onto a plate, He leans into Wolfwood as Wolfwood explains, "Had to meet someone. Nothing interesting to talk about." Vash kisses Wolfwood's left cheek and a hand moves to cup his other cheek while muttering, "You're being vague." Wolfwood says neutrally, "If yer really that curious, keep askin'. We  can talk about that instead of doing this." Vash leans back and responds, "Let's talk after, since... You look so tired."
The panel pans to a close up of Wolfwood's downcast eyes, bags heavy underneath his eyes. He doesn't allow Vash to sit in that moment for long though, then saying, "Yer not helping, Spikey. Being all slow with it... I could fall asleep right now." He moves his hand to start unclasping Vash's coat, starting from his collar. Vash with red cheeks, responds briskly, "Oh, shut up. I'm worried about you. I can't be worried?"
The final shot shows Wolfwood's back to the viewer while Vash's softened expression can be seen as he holds gently onto the side of Wolfwood's face and a hand firm on his waist. Wolfwood responds, "I'm fine, seriously," pausing for a moment before continuing, "Is it okay to still..?" Vash responds, "Yeah, it's okay."
The next image is a shot from later that night after the previous comic. Vash and Wolfwood are now in bed, half naked. Wolfwood's buries his face into Vash's chest, his arms wrapped around him, while Vash is petting at his hair. Vash reminds him, "Hey. You said we'd talk about it." Wolfwood pauses for a moment before piping up, "In the morning? I'm sleepy." Vash says, "Okay..."
The next two pages start from the morning after. Wolfwood is already fully awake, pulling on his outer jacket as he says to Vash, whos' still bundled in his blankets, "Breakfast is on the table. Make sure to eat it. I'm going to grab some things in town and then we're leavin'. Got it?" Vash says, "Mh." Wolfwood responds, "Good. See ya in a bit." The dialogue starts to shift into Vash's inner thoughts now, as he gets up and eats toast, thinking, "Wait. Weren't we supposed to... talk about it?" The next shot then shows him fully up, meeting Wolfwood in town. He carries a half worried expression with him while Wolfwood slides on his glasses for him. A quick panel shows Wolfwood's tired expression from the night before and quickly juxtaposes with Wolfwood in front of him who's smiling gently, the shades covering his eye bags. Wolfwood asks him, "Still not awake yet?" Vash pauses, his thoughts stirring, thinking, "Oh. I guess I was getting ahead of myself... thinking you owe me that kind of honesty." He smiles at Wolfwood and responds, "I'm awake!" His thoughts continue, "Maybe one day, you'd trust me enough to share your burdens."
The final image shows Wolfwood pulling at Vash's cheek and Vash complains, "Owwwww why..." Wolfwood quickly says, "You were thinking something stupid, right? It's all over yer face." Vash mutters, "Nooo, I wasn't..." END ID]

So, despite some faults, I really enjoyed totk, and on its anniversary I want to say something about it. Other people have said similar things before but itâs really important to me and actually a big part of why the story of totk was meaningful to me, so I want to also say it:
Zelda needed to come back from draconification. The story needed that. It wasnât lazy and just ignoring âconsequencesâ because (imo) that was the *point*
The point is to feel like there are going to be terrible consequences and then say actually, no. You can come back from this, with the help of other people.
To me at least, that was the theme of the whole story.
If botw was about how the world goes on past loss and grief and starts to heal (how flowers grow in the ruins and the world can be beautiful again, be worth saving, even if it has changed)âŚthen totk was about a more personal kind of healing.
The weight of the world should not be on your shoulders aloneâŚyou, alone, should not have to fix everythingâŚyou should not have to sacrifice yourself, but when you do, someone will be there to save you from it.
This turned into a really long ramble so:
You (Link) gained so much and now itâs gone. It feels like youâre back to where you started and yet you know you have to do it all againâŚyou were weak and you failed and youâre weaker nowâŚbut
You go down to the surface. Monsters swarm across it once again. Other people are fighting them too though. You help, but itâs not just youâŚ
You go to the Rito, the Gorons, the Zora, the GerudoâŚjust like with the divine beasts, there are friends who help you save each region. But this time, part of them comes along with you when you leave. Itâs nice, you realize, the first time one of them protects you from a monster you werenât prepared for. Youâre still weaker than you were before, but someone has your backâŚ
When you go up to the sky you see a strange new dragon there. Thereâs something about them that feels familiar. You try not to think about it.
You go down to the depths too. Itâs terrifying at first. You hate it. You only want to get what you came for and get out of the darkâŚ.but slowly, the light grows. You get stronger. The dark feels like a challenge you can face (and someone has your back).
There are spirits down there. You donât know when theyâre from, but some part of you wondersâŚare these all the people you let die in the Calamity? (You help them find rest from their wandering. The weight on your shoulders feels a little less heavy).
Thereâs so much gloom. The first few times the sky turns red and hands chase you (a reminder of what youâve lost, how you failed) you just run. Eventually though, you have to fight. It feels like the (second) worst day of your life again. But you manage to get free of the grasping gloom and stand and fight, as wild and desperate as it is. Beneath the manifestation of your worst fears, thereâs another thing to fight, but this time it has a face (a voice in the back of your head saysâŚyou know this isnât all on you and your failureâŚitâs really Ganonâs fault right?). You get through it.
At every turn in your travels, it seems like something reminds you of Zelda. Her passion, her curiosity, her kindness. You miss her.
At first, the tears you find reassure you. She may be in the past, but sheâs safe. Sheâll come back somehowâŚbut then you hear the word draconification for the first time. You want to believe she wouldnât do it but you know her and the fear sits cold inside you. (Zelda is a lot of things. Sheâs been allowed to be more of them, since she was freed from her hundred year battle, without her father holding her back. But deep down inside her, thereâs a vein of self-sacrifice that still runs strong. Itâs what saved the world before, after all).
She did it. She really did it. Sheâs gone from you (from Hyrule) forever, and itâs all your fault. If only you hadnât failed so utterly in the battle (you can hardly even call it that) under the castle. If only youâd caught her. If only you hadnât let the sword break. You should have protected her you should have been better itâs all your fault and now she has to live with the consequences, forever. Everything really is on you, you should have been better.
(Zelda POV: you couldnât call upon Hyliaâs power in time, you were too content to let it wither and fade away from you, ready to be free of it. You shouldnât have. He got hurt, the sword got hurt, itâs your faultâŚSonia and Rauru help you channel it again, Sonia helps you learn how to turn back timeâŚbut you donât save her. She dies because you couldnât save her. Rauru dies not long after. There is no one left to guide you, once again. You could spend years trying to figure it out on your own. But you did that last time. It didnât work. Self-sacrifice, stepping in front of someone you love, that worked. (You do what you can, to call upon the sages, to help Link in the future, first). And then you swallow the stone. Youâve come a long way, in the past five years, allowing yourself to exist. But in the end, self-sacrifice worked last time. Itâll work this time too.)
You (Link) go down beneath the castle. You were supposed to bring the sages but you didnât. Itâs nice, for someone to have your back. But no one else should get hurt to fix your mistakes.
They follow you anyway. They fight with you, against the hordes, against the greatest enemies you defeated together, along the way. Theyâll have your back, even if you donât think you deserve it.
You fight Ganondorf, and then the demon king, in the hardest battle of your life. You think itâs over and then the demon king decides itâs better to lose himself completely than let you win. Youâre exhausted and afraid of yet another battle, but up there in the sky, when youâre falling, the Light Dragon catches you (you wonder why she changed her path to catch you, you wonder if thereâs still something of Zelda left in there to save). With her help, you win.
And then youâre in some other realm. The spirits of Sonia and Rauru are there. You remember how the two of them and Zelda channeled such incredible power together. You think about Recall. Turning something back to the memory of what it was before, like Sonia said. You stand with them and you allow yourself to hope. Maybe the Light Dragon can remember the form she took so long ago, the person that she was.
And then youâre falling, and Zelda is falling, but this time you catch her. You catch her. Sheâs back home with you, finally, finally.
And maybe, one mistake doesnât have to be the end of the world. You donât have to be perfect. Sometimes, someone else can stand with you, and itâll all turn out alright. (You can put the weight of the world on your shoulders, you can sacrifice yourself, but someone will be there to catch you, someone will be there to pull you back to yourself, when all is said and done).
#loz#tears of the kingdom#Link#Zelda#I will say also that I think part of the reason totk is special to me is very personal#like when it came out I was still struggling with the worst burnout of my life#I had had a few months of exhaustion between January and March and in May that exhaustion was still sticking to me#it was hard to get out of bed hard to do anything I felt so tired that I almost felt sick but I wasnât sick#and the thing is Zelda games are my biggest special interest#and having a new one to play like genuinely Iâm not joking it gave me bsck so much energy#I was doing really badly but when totk came out I played it for an entire weekend straight basically#and like my mom came to visit me and help me out with basic life stuff#and like sit with me while I played just like enjoying being together#and that was really nice#over that summer and the fall after I started getting to know someone I work with better#largely over conversations about totk at first#and theyâve become a good friend#(and become someone that I feel safe to be fully myself around)#and so I just have this really strong personal connection to totk#like I will not claim to be impartial about it#there are definitely criticisms that I can acknowledge#in particular I donât like that they un-amputeed Link let Link be disabled#and also ganondorfâs characterization was shallow and one dimensional#and Iâm sure thereâs other things I could think of#but the overall narrative#including Zelda becoming the light dragon and then turning back in the end#I really like that#it felt like a narrative of healing to me#and playing it at the time that I did felt really healing to me too

I still browse the submas tag so regularly but after all these inactive periods I used to take, Iâd fallen into this sort of self-conscious slump of being too shy to interact with posts and the fandom for a long time and I know itâs been like that for months. Trying to do better about that now instead of being so nervous about it ^^
#Iâve been running around following a lot of people now after a period of inactivity so if anyoneâs wondering why this is why#nothing to be nervous about cause there are so many kind people here#just a general anxiety thing that happens and I know itâs kept me from feeling like I can interact for a while I WANNA GET OVER THAT#itâs been a bit of an exhaustion thing too from irl stuff not letting up but I love this fandom and want to be more active in showing that#I know Iâve just kind of contained myself to this blog again out of just anxiety but thatâs not fun#Iâve tried a lot of times but keep wimping out and going âno I can start again another dayâ but I canât keep saying that every time#TODAY IS THE DAY#I love this fandom and want to be better about showing it

So like
Do you guys think itâs painful to get more and more elemental powers?
Like I can imagine the transferring hurting the loserâyour energy and power is literally getting sucked out of youâbut what about receiving more power. Your body is suddenly getting more power and especially as the tournament goes on and more powers are transferred it probably starts to get too much for the body to handle.
Like the pain of all that energy has got to be agonizing
#do you think sora is in a lot of pain#after the tournament#nokt didnât look so good getting all the powers drained#so it had to be painful or at least exhausting right?#am i thinking too much into this?#probably#thatâs fine#this will be in my mind for a while#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#dragons rising season 2#ninjago dr s2#ninjago spoilers#ninjago dragons rising spoilers#dragons rising spoilers

i get so jealous of euthanized dogs.
-- june gehringer
#teen wolf#twedit#scott mccall#theo raeken#sceo#gay hands murder yearning etc etc#you know the drill#i just think that both scott and theo mourn the murder in interesting ways#scott has that ragged literally wounded exhaustion#and even after he heals he's still panicked about being hurt again#he's dragging himself to each fight#and then throwing himself into it fatalistically#and every time he sees theo he's on the verge of snapping#whereas theo i think has these quiet really miserable moments#where he claims something like 'my record's spotless'#while the camera focuses on his clean hands#but we know they're stained and so does he#and even if he washes them#he'll get blood on them again#and every time he does#he becomes more alone

I'm looking at the Zora May prompts and wanna write stuff, and now my brain's just giggling with ideas LOL like--
Imagine, after Age of Calamity, that Link and Mipha get together. That has its whole set of fun and drama - a Hylian/Zora marriage would mean a lot anyway, but particularly when it's the Zora princess and the Hero of Hyrule. Link and Mipha start to have a family, Zelda is settling into being queen, and they all have their own set of stressors and joys and the three are still besties and it would be just so funny to see y'all. Like... Link takes his oath as a knight seriously, so he still assists Hyrule often, and just this scenario in my head came and--
Zelda, sighing: I hardly slept last night. I was up late researching the latest Zonai discoveries and almost forgot I had a meeting with the Rito delegation this morning. I'm so tired.
Link, hair a mess, on his third cup of coffee after dealing with one of his kids having a meltdown while the other kept everyone up crying all night, dealing with Mipha also trying to do royal duties, having just teleported over here via Sheikah towers: .....That sounds rough.
#give me some domestic hilarity and stress and fluff dang it#Zelda has every right to be exhausted too but this image in my head was too funny not to share#I don't know how parents do it I'm barely alive most days LOL#if I had a husband and kids to worry about too I'd probably have a permanent IV for caffeine injections#all my lovelies who are parents: God bless you XD#age of calamity#oh and then totk happens and Link almost loses his ever loving mind LOL#imagine Link as a dad in totk HAHA#Link dealing with Ganondorf while his four-year-old destroys Dorf emotionally#Ganondorf: Behold a king's revival!#Link's kid: You're not even NEARLY as big as Grandpa and he's a REAL king and your hair's ugly#miphlink#poor Zelda had to become queen after the Calamity since she came of age#she and Link exchange letters on the regular when he isn't doing assignments for her and actually gets a few days to chill in the Domain#Mipha has to often visit to help Zelda with her anxieties#I think they'd be a fun dynamic ok

GODDDD I hate when shameless fans police the show and act like youâre not allowed to dislike the fact that Mickey was written out and how dirty his character was done throughout the seasons when he was gone and take any criticism of it as an attack on Ian. Yes many of those storylines were important for Ian and thatâs good but Jesus people are allowed to miss their favourite character, theyâre not evil for that and it doesnât mean theyâre dismissing the entire Mickey-less portion of the show.
#post after post after post shitting on Mickey fans like omg get over it#mickey milkovich#shameless#gallavich#ian gallagher#itâs possible to look at these seasons through a non b&w lense#I loved many of Ianâs storylines especially in s6 & 7 but Iâm allowed to miss Mickey#and ur allowed to dislike how mickeys character was dismissed and spoken about by many characters including Ian#some of it was just not ok#and while weâre at it#valid discussions of the occasional imbalance in their dynamic is not the same as saying âIan never loved Mickey and treated him like crap!â#discussing that Mickey has insecurities that stem from the times Ian has left him is ok and it is again#NOT the same as saying Ian never loved him#I donât agree with those opinions either#but discussions of mickeys insecurities shouldnât be dismissed as people saying ian loved him less thatâs not what that is#the same way discussions of Ianâs insecurities due to his disorder shouldnât be dismissed#itâs exhausting out here#learn to see the complexities of situations pls#âMickey fans think Ian never loved himđŤđĄâ no????#Iâm sure there are people who think that on tik tok etc#which I donât agree with obvs#but Iâm just talking about the way people twist things to fit their own agenda#twisting valid discussions of something so complex into something so simple and wrong just to bitch at fans#and just to add I donât agree that you should completely write off Ianâs storylines#Iâm just saying that criticism of the show isnât writing it off

Late to the party on this (whhhhhat? november chapter discourse?) but wanted to point out the humour in this series of panels from chapter 18 of Episode Nagi.
We have Isagi walking off into the sunset with Rin and company, throwing an edgy farewell over his shoulder to the teammates he just tried to commiserate with. Chigiri, Barou and Nagi all look pissed off and motivated. But the second Isagi walks out...
Chigiri curls up and starts swearing, Barou looks as though he's about to have an aneurysm, and Nagi full on falls over, WHEN HE WAS SITTING DOWN TO BEGIN WITH
they're so dramatic skghljkh
What's even funnier is not knowing whether they're more pissed about losing, about not being picked, or the fact they now have to coexist without Blue Lock's resident cherub to keep the peace (per chapter 19):
#like... boys. it's not that serious#you were the second team to qualify y'all are overachievers /s#nagi is by far the most ridiculous here though like what even#there's consistency though. this is the second time we've seen chigiri quietly swearing to himself while hiding behind hair#he does something similar after getting benched during the u20 match#and nagi is always keen to flop down in exhaustion at the tiniest hint of hassle#blue lock#bllk#bllk manga#episode nagi#epinagi chp 18#epinagi chp 19#isagi yoichi#baro shoei#nagi seishiro#chigiri hyoma

i'm gonna be honest i believe that jin ling's postcanon opinion of jiang cheng eventually shifts to "you're my family, you raised me and i love you, but you're exhausting to deal with"
#keri chats#jin ling#jin rulan#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#like... JL isn't at all the type of person who'd go no contact estranging himself from JC but i do think he'll take after jiang yanli#in appreciating wwx as a family member. prob not to the extent of considering him a blood relative like his mom did but still#the more he learns abt wwx & realizes he was clearly Not Told The Full Truth and the more he sees his uncle's own culpability#(which JL already shows understanding of in the novel) the more he matures. and in the same vein he realizes many adults he knows are#childish and spoiled in their privilege; not only from their prolonged bitterness over the past but from the way they only ever consider#their own feelings. that too in the lens of transactional gains and losses; debts and repayments; me me me maybe my clan and nobody else#wwx himself gets so distressed dealing with jc he bled from the 7 apertures & qi deviated at lotus pier the night before guanyin temple#wwx thinks jiang cheng is exhausting to deal with! and while jin ling will absolutely never be in wwx's position#i think postcanon (especially if jiang cheng doesn't truly change in spite of everything) he'd come to understand that exhaustion.
