Six Sentence Sunday
Happy Sunday everyone!! Thanks for the tags @blackberrysummerblog and @artsyunderstudy!!
This week I’ve done the big three: writing, editing, and ignoring my wips, with perhaps a bit more of the last one than I’d like. Most of my writing this week has been for an exchange fic for a different fandom, which I finally finished the rough draft of. Cue the celebration. However, even if I wanted to share anything from that, I can’t, it must remain hush-hush, but I am getting pretty excited to share it (and way more excited about receiving my own exchange fic back, this whole thing is very fun).
I’ve written less than 300 words on my COBB this week, and none of them are good, but I have gotten some editing done of Proof of Life. I can’t share any more snippets of the next chapter though because I’ve shared too much already. So instead, I figured I’d do a bit of a process post this time around, because I always love reading those. Check that out under the cut! (and i'm sorry this is long, i still have not learned brevity)
So my editing process isn’t too crazy, and is brought to you almost entirely by google docs comments. I also use the word ‘editing’ very loosely to encompass rewriting, revising, and proofreading. Sometimes editing means completely rewriting a scene/section, sometimes it just means switching around a couple of words or cleaning up a sentence.
Mostly, I try not to take everything so seriously, because I know that I could edit something forever and ever and never post it if I let myself get too carried away. So I try to keep everything pretty chill. So here’s my steps I go through for each chapter that I edit.
Step One: Reread the whole chapter. While I do this, I’ll leave comments on big picture things. “Maybe move this scene into the next chapter” or “The dialogue in this scene feels stilted” but I don’t add a lot of comments at this point. Once I’m done with this I’ll copy over any comments I had on the first draft or the beta reader copy over into the ‘draft two’ document.
Step Two: COMMENTS. Again, my fics are brought to you by google doc comments. I like to go through from the bottom up, reading scene by scene and leaving comments on pretty much every single sentence.
A lot of the time (read: most of the time) these are really vague like:
And sometimes these are more detailed like:
And occasionally these are compliments
Step Three: Once the whole chapter is filled with comments, I go through scene by scene (in whatever order speaks to me), and rewrite, edit, or fix sections. This part I find really fun, because I’m taking parts that aren’t good yet and I’m making them better. I love fixing things and getting rid of all the comments. It typically ends up being a lot of rewriting, but I always finish a scene feeling better about it then when I started.
For example, here’s the draft one vs. draft two version of a snippet from the first chapter of Proof of Life. This is one of the scenes I pretty much rewrote. Others look a lot more similar to their original versions.
Original:
Edited:
Step Four: Then before I post a chapter, I’ll read through the whole thing and sometimes find smaller bits to fix. Then I’ll run it through a grammar checker and ignore half of their suggestions in the name of ✨style ✨.
Overall, I feel like I have a pretty basic editing strategy and I’m really pleased with it. Even though sometimes I feel like more robust edits would make everything way better, it’s a good mix of fixing things but not spending too much time on it. I remember I spent like a month on editing the very first fic I posted at that was only 6k words. If I kept doing that for everything, I'd never post anything at all. With fanfiction, I know that y'all will be nice to me even though it's never perfect <333
Tags and Hellos!! (I'm unsure if we still need the spaces, but i've been burned too many times lol)

a deep blood moon, a starless night
dark enough to see the light
#something something he has the title of prince yet is treated like a commoner#callum holds a prestigious ranking due to his mother's marriage yet he is not the hier to the throne#im sure canonically he literally cannot care less specifically#but i like to think it factors into his struggles with finding himself#and his purpose in the world#this is a “we love ezran” household#but i cant help feeling callum has the vibes of a middle child despite being the oldest#while ezran is both oldest and youngest. burden of the crown yet still a child#the title of high mage gives callum his own kind of recognition#but it doesn't separate him from the title of prince#he's the first human mage to do primal magic yet only his inner circle recognizes how big of a feat that is#something something having a strong mind and heart with an untapped thirst for knowledge#everyone forgets about him so it gives him time to research all he needs#this was originally inspired by the vibes of “red moon” by will wood#puts my callum would listen to will wood if he existed in xadia badge#probs ¡Akido!

i love you OCs who are ridiculously overpowered. i love you OCs who romance every canon character possible. i love you OCs who are related to the main character. i love you OCs who don't have a tragic backstory. i love you OCs who were created for the sole purpose of railing a very specific character. i love you OCs who break the narrative. i love you OCs who have ever been called Mary Sue. i love you OCs who are like you but not you but still you. i love you OCs who make their skill and beauty look effortless. i love you OCs
#original character#in my OC feels tonight#because my girl Renge is almost a year old now and thinking about how she evolved and still does#how she's a ghost of older OCs but also not and like me but also not and#she's a baby she's my meow meow she's the goddess i will never be#all the talks with friends about their OCs#listening to their stories and swooing over arts of them#and i feel many people are still held back by making their own OCs because they fear someone will laugh at them#or call them this Mary Sue bs which i will hold a presentation on why it's the fucking worst#don't worry bby i will fight everyone for you who makes you feel bad about your OCs#pingpong brain going brrrr i could ramble forever#lale.txt

azul who is utterly obsessed with getting Jamil jewelry. Pearls sea glass diamonds aquamarine rubies- if it’s blue, ocean related, pretty, expensive, gold, red, and/or compliments Jamil’s complexion, he’s getting it for him. Azul knows how to budget but he is RECKLESS with spending for his boyfriend bc like, what do you mean that his BOYFRIEND. His darling. Angelfish. He gets whatever he wants
this leads people to believe that Azul has Jamil wrapped around his finger, bc “well he dresses up Jamil however he likes” but they are dead wrong. Azul is willinginhly completely under Jamil’s control and he loves it. He wants to help Jamil and is completely willing to be his little service boy if it means he gets to see Jamil’s greatness.
#Azul single-handedly buys out all of the local jewelry stores#Jamil mentions once (1) that his ears were pierced but he wasn’t ‘supposed’ to buy fancy things bc he was a servant and Azul is immediately#Going on a shopping spree. Sending the twins out to pick things up#Jamil is getting twenty different designer brands suprise dropped at his door#And it’s all just. Fancier versions of shit he owns#“Azul i don’t need a 400 dollar hoodie”#“Ah. Counterpoint- I want you to have it.”#Azujami#jamiazu#Twst#ashenviper#my delusional ramblings (<- Azul spoiling Jamil bc he now has the means to)#Listen I need Jamil to give off like. Rich ass housewife vibe but really he’s just a feral husband#Jamil ‘works’ in the future but all of the shit he has is way to fancy for his jobs#Hella expensive luggage and cars and it’s just Azul’s doing#And everyone thinks he’s like. A trophy husband.#But no. He’s not even asking for Azul just will not take no for an answer for that kinda stuff.#Like “what do you mean you don’t want the latest magical car model you deserve it angelfish-“

a whole 1 person asked for me to drop the klunk playlist so uh. merry christmas!
& the description because it’s a tad long for mobile i think: “my best estimation of a klunk playlist - inspired by the only other klunk playlist i’ve seen but it didn’t have the songs he sang on it so i took a stab at one + there’s a little bias to my personal taste but it’s ok”
#i forget people read my rambly tags ough#but its ok#if this playlist sucks its bc i do this for fun dont judge me#also ik people do their character playlist differently but i do mine as like. an all of the above sorta deal#like yes some songs are ones he’s sang or would sing/listen to. some are just bc i have an association between them & him.#some are there for the vibes#yall get it#ALSO i get to push propaganda for my favorite rockabilly band#everyone must listen to the bellfuries i literally put 5 of their songs on the playlist#im biased ok!#i do what i want forever#either way i hope yall enjoy#oh i should make a music tag if i ever drop my other playlists#(i have some other rae playlists but idk if ill share those)#uncle klunk#:0 music

here's the thing. yes, some pieces of art are "better" than others. there are many criteria you can measure that with--technical skill, creativity, clarity, conceptual depth, successful execution of the artist's intentions, etc., and i do think it's useful to clarify which ones you're using as a measuring stick. but like, of course you can evaluate art. of course you can be critical (in the "art critic" sense) of art. (among other things, that's one of the most important ways to get better at making art yourself.)
however. when it comes down to evaluating what gets to count as art. what art even gets to have a seat at the table. i will go to bat for the thing that isn't as "good" every single time.
you can say you think a piece of art is bad. you can say you think it lacked technical skill, or clarity, or conceptual depth, and you consider those important elements of a successful work. i might even agree with you. but if you think that means it doesn't matter, someone is going to die on this hill and it isn't going to be me
#this is not apropos of anything#or like directed at anyone in particular#just to be clear#i just had a Thought that triggered something in my art student brain and made this click#because i am being trained how to critique and evaluate art. i know how to objectively and subjectively judge whether something is 'good'#('good' in scare quotes bc that is such a vague metric. i tend to use 'successful' more often)#but the second someone calls something 'bad art' or 'not even art' i will be ready to back it up instantly#and i realized that it boils down to acting like something doesn't matter because it has failed to meet a certain standard#i think all art matters. i think that doodle of a cat you drew in the corner of your math notebook matters#i think that poem you wrote when you were in second grade matters#i think that song you made up and recorded on a voice memo and then cringed when you listened to it later matters#i also think those abstract expressionist artists that everyone loves to hate on matter btw#their art doesn't speak to me that strongly but that doesn't mean it didn't have anything to say#everyone has something to say. and you can have opinions about what they said or how they said it#but you don't get to tell them to stop talking#that includes when that someone is yourself btw#anyway#this has been my monthly-or-so evening ramble#i've been overdue for one honestly#stars has thoughts

i will never understand how some people can actively shit on something they know someone loves and finds joy in right in front of them. how can you hate something that makes someone else happy in this absolutely fucked world in front of them.
its the passive aggression for no reason i will never ever understand or do to others. if you have a passion, fucking LIVE it. if nothing else, passion gets us through every shitty day, and i will always support it.
have passion in spite of those who hate.
#its absolutely mind boggling to me#and genuinely makes me so fucjinf upset#i was sitting next to my sister who has been nicer to me than usual as she is talking to her online friend and im doing my nails silently b#its her polish and i didnt wanna take it out of her room. but i look up and shes ranking music genres which is all cool. but without#hesitation as the first one at the most bottom tier she put kpop. like i understand its not her cup of tea but i was like okay thats#something that actively makes me wanna keep living yaknow. and she knows that. so i was like#‘interesting placement for kpop’ and she didnt say anything so i said ‘im not sure youve listened to it enough to have such a violent#opinion on it’ and she immediately got angry saying shes ‘heard enough’ and then got mad at me for saying that saying why was i being ‘like#this what the fuck’ and my heart genuinely sunk into my ass but i couldnt leave even though i felt like crying bc i only did one hand and i#was drying at that moment plus i didn’t wanna make it a big deal. but this is not the first time she’s actively hated on my music without#prompt from me and it just makes me ????? like. music taste differs with everyone i understand this and i respect it. if something brings u#happiness then i would love to hear and listen even if i wouldn’t choose it myself. but being a bitch about it. idk#ultimately its the fact of being mean for no reason over someone else’s passion makes u a fucking asshole#:)))) im not crying bye#ashley rambles#to delete later#my mom and brother do it too btw. hating on it and making sure i hear it.#my mom was doing it the other day and my 7 year old nephew kept saying ‘pook i love it. i think its cool’ and it made me cry because kids#have the capacity for such unaltered kindness as the world has yet been cruel to them#idk man

How does Barnaby meet Howdy in your modern human au? :0
oh, the entire "neighborhood" became friends in either middle or high school (except Eddie oopsies). Howdy ran a little 'underground market' (aka he sold stuff out of his locker or at his house, the goods varied) and Barnaby would often buy school supplies or, every so often, a cheat sheet from him. once or twice weed as well. but yeah they were also classmates a few times.
Howdy found Barnaby hilarious, Barnaby found Howdy to be excellent company, boom friends for life. Howdy didn't have many actual friends - just acquaintances and regulars, so Barnaby was his first real pal, and the "neighborhood" his first friend group! and only, technically
#and later on! lovers for life! also friends still just with an Added Facet!#but yeah in my mind howdy was socially adept just. bad at making friends#he prioritized The Grind and yk. could and Would scam his 'customers'#he tried to scam barnaby once but barnaby fully saw through him#and called him out on his bullshit in funny enough of a way that howdy wasnt insulted at all#Boom instant respect! barnaby is like the one guy howdy wouldnt scam from then on#rambles from the bog#wh modern human au#howdy has a lot of Lore in my mind...#reasons why hes so shrewd and finance-oriented!#why he speaks with a transatlantic accent despite being a 90s kid! etc!#listen i gotta find a way to realistically explain everyone's quirks and skills and traits in this au#since theyre People living Human Lives and not. puppets. artificially created characters

Whats ur favorite twdg character and why?
HALLO! thankyou for the ask.. a have a couple, clementine for obvious reasons, she’s the goat. her character is so strong and soo well written. seeing her grow up and develop makes any sane person enjoy her, she’s awesome. i don’t think i need to explain much further, i could go on and on but no one will disagree with me so no one needs to hear it. heh.
other than clem i really (really) like violet, i love her… so. much.. her being “mean” and cold is one of the reasons why i like her as much as i do, she has so much to her if you break down her character. people dull her down to this mean harsh person that was an after thought of a love interest and has no place acting the way she does, she acts the way she does because she’s realistic, her lines and emotions are so well thought out. she’s so sweet and cheesy i fear im going to implode, the way she acts around clementine is soo 😆😆 i love clemvi so much, i think it’s sooo perfect and cute and oh wow. the dialogue options you get in like every violentine scene are so cute.. it makes me SICK. i think i’m pretty normal about them.. people who dont like vi see her and never try to understand her. when they see she gets angry and frustrated at clementine when you choose to save louis instead they say how awful she is and that why couldn’t she just be an exact copy paste of louis and that louis is better and vi is bad and this and that. if i let someone steal you, lock you up and then expect you to kiss my ass when i come save you how ever many hours later, do you think you would be able to think rationally (in that time where you are filled with so much adrenaline and fear of your safety) or do you think you would act realistically, lose control of your emotions and lash out without thinking. whatever if you’re such a hero sure you can say that you’d think rationally BUT DO NOT CALL VIOLET A VILLAIN BECAUSE SHE GETS MAD you just cannot bare to see a girl let her emotions do the talking in an apocalypse can you. people are such haters. Anyway i love clementine and violet 😆 thanks for reading.. heheh..
#twdg#i love violentine so much it’s all o think about it rots in my brain#everyday i wake up thinking of violentine and go to bed thinking of violentine#i’m really normal.#there’s so much to both of their characters#honourable mentions:#minerva#she’s also a misunderstood mean lesbian#i really like mean lesbians i think there’s a pattern between the two#i also liek lee for obvious reasons again#i didn’t mention him because everyone likes lee duh#i really like mariana she’s so precious#and silly and cute and oh she’s so cute i love mari#AND we share a name. heh.#i like luke and javi too not favs but i love them#the walking dead game#thankyou for asking me this..#this is fun i never get to like ramble about my interests to people who ACTUALLY ask about things like this#most of the time it’s me sending voice messages to people who don’t want to listen#heh#i like this.#ask me more questions in future this was very fun#clementine#violet twdg#clemvi#violentine#YURIWINS#yuri wins yuri solos
