obsessed with the way lucanis just says "no." sometimes
#i have 'GIVE ME. FIRE.' pop in my head way too frequently.#lucanis dellamorte#dragon age veilguard spoilers#da4 spoilers#maybe it's just me bc i don't have that much control of my voice to put specific emotions in a 2 letter word but i just think they're neat#irrelevant but while putting this together i noticed there's a tear in rook's left eye in that last scene? which i'm pretty sure is a glitc#from having tears in lucanis' eyes earlier but it's bizarre i only noticed this now on my laptop screen#and not any of the times i've played through this scene on a 4k tv lol

im gonna start posting fanfic recs btw whenever i find good ones. both here and my (awfully barren) 18+ account. because there are so many good fics out there with so few hits and fewer kudos and sometimes no comments period and it SUCKS because i REALLY LIKE THEM A LOT.. and i hope that by linking them here and yelling at everyone to COMMENT DAMMIT they might actually do it
seriously though any comment means a lot. most people who read a fic don’t even give a kudos. even if the fic wasn’t top tier, if you didn’t dislike it, hand over some kudos!! and if you liked it, comment!!!! even if the comment is one singular heart emoji it will be appreciated. if the comment just says “great fic!” the author will be happy. your comment doesn’t have to be this long winded gushing or analysis.
so many authors quit writing or lose motivation because the comments are few and far in between or just sometimes nonexistent. trust me when i say authors don’t care about how long or cool or smart sounding your comment is i promise!!!
i hope that mmmaybe recommending fics and telling people to comment might help fics i really like get more support maybe. and i, points at you reading this, hope that you will listen!!!at least a little….at least sum kudos….
#if u have the ability to reply to my reblog saying how much you loved the fic i recommended comment on the fic itself so the author can see!#especially since the rise of ai writing and seeing ai fics out there can be disheartening#make sure you let your writers know you appreciate them#you never know they might one day write a sequel bc your comment touched them#or might get the motivation to make more works.#(but don’t just comment bc you expect something out of it btw. sometimes the author might be too intimidated to reply ive seen that before)#im a huge yapper. if you can’t tell. lmfao.#and i mostly comment on guest. like 99% of the time because the fics are either really embarrassing#or i get nervous about them knowing me/finding my tumblr and thinking im cringw#bc i admire authors so much. and I get that nervousness! given I experience it!!! but guest mode EXISTS!!! most work allows you to comment#on guest mode!! the author CANT see the email you use for it!!! the only reason they even ask is to give you notifs if theres a reply to it!#a comment is still a comment even if on guest or an alt or your main#even if the fic is embarrassing shameful depraved smut you can log out and comment on guest. even if it’s embarrassing#because the author still worked HARD. it’s so hard to write. people don’t give enough credit to fic authors who do it for free#i had an account (now super abandoned) that had over 400k words. and that didn’t include wips#i reallg do struggle to write because i took a break for so long!!! i can write but not nearly as much as I used to!!! and it sucks!!!#support your authors guys. 1k words is an hour for the first draft at MINIMUM and another hour for revision and editing. and people get#pissy if a fic chapter is less than 3-4k words for some reason. that’s 6-8 hours of work at MINIMUM. likely so much more because there’s#also plotting and brainstorming and So. Much. Editing. stressing out over words and sentence structure. it takes so much time out of your#day. the only oneshot i have posted on this account is 2460 words. and it took me SEVEN HOURS#seven hours!!!! that’s a lot!!!! and for authors that have school or demanding jobs that kind of time is hard to come by!!!!!#and I hope i have convinced at least one of you to listen and go okay you know what. i will. because even if it’s a silly comment it’s loved#tldr support your local fanfic authors of you will be so stabbed. by me#fanfiction#fanfic#archive of our own#ao3#comment on fics#wick fic recs#that’s the rec tag btw. wow custom tags AGAIN i know. im doing what i thought i never would

God now I am just obsessed with magical girl Izuna. It's living rent free in my head now. Thank you for this amazing concept!!!
I'm so glad that you like it!! Take a snippet from chapter 1 of the magical girl Izuna fic that's been marinating in my notes app as thanks for ur nice ask
Hikaku eyed the seat behind him, which he knew Izuna would have taken if he were here to do so. Which he wasn't. Because he was not currently here. His cousin had yet to show up, and Hikaku had to wonder if it was because he'd slept in or if he should be worried about getting off school and being tasked with helping to hide a body. Haha. That was a joke. ... ... Hikaku gave a little knock on the wood of his desk with his knuckles, just in case. One that seemed to immediately pay off when a tap at the window next to the empty seat sent him jumping. He leaned back, peering out the window and finding his cousin's grinning face staring right back at him through the glass. Quietly, Hikaku eased back into his seat and pressed his hands together in prayer. Dear lady Amaterasu, please save him from overconfident idiots with too much ego. Amen.
#the magical girl izuna agenda never really stops it just goes on the backburner sometimes#chapter 1 is sitting at like 4k words and maybe hallfffway through being complete?#i got distracted by other projects but its still there. waiting.#i have someone to beta for it and everything once its done#i just need to finish chapter 1 then hopefully I can trick people into being invested in it when I post it as a 'pilot'#then feed off the comments and get motivated to keep going#im so fucking bad at sticking to a project if I dont get constant enrichment#i have a playlist for magical girl izuna and everything tho!!#only has like 5 songs tho#magical girl izuna#birds fic talk#birds writing#izuna uchiha#uchiha izuna#uchiha hikaku#hikaku uchiha#izuna#hikaku#naruto#naruto au#birds asks

anyone banging daniel heng imbibitor lunae hsr would qualify for the 20+ sessions per day response fyi though its maybe ambiguous because if you go at it nonstop then is it one session or multiple sessions...... philosophical question for the ages
#i wish i had the writing stamina to do a play by play of a dual cultivation weekend#alas my capacity for sex scenes is only around 4k words#but its literally nonstop. i thought about it a lot and i think at a point free use / ignored sex is just a practical measure#SORRY for hornyposting on a monday lunch hour LMAO#yueshuo#nsft

Pure of heart, dumb of ass
A fic inspired by this post by @kaarijatits
One thing people always admired of Jere was his wit and intuition. His ability to redirect the energy of a room or conversation was somewhat of an art, making the right joke at the right time, making the right comment to start or end a necessary conversation. He wouldn't say he was an expert at it, but he did pride himself in saving his ass so many times from uncomfortable situations with it.
But for some reason this all went out the door when it came to love.
-
Jere is a little clueless and Bojan is a little too obvious.
#i said to myself “this will only be 2k words long"#and yet here i am 4k words over that limit#oh well#bon apetit#käärijä#bojan cvjetićanin#bojere#alien writes

You know, I'm starting to think that weird freak incident earlier this year where I wrote essentially a full novel in less than four months, barring editing, has left me with some unrealistic standards regarding turnaround times for all other creative writing endeavors
#back in the day i would take nine months to write less than 4k words about an old man playing checkers with a ghost#and people *loved* it! people ate that shit up!#to this day i struggle to understand what was happening to my brain chemistry when i wrote the 58k monster#or “monsterpiece” as i've dubbed it#i was incapable of thinking of anything else#i look back on those three and a half months through a haze#my wordcount spreadsheet is the only proof i have that the fic didn't spring from my skull fully formed#i exaggerate but i cannot stress enough how abnormal it was for me#i had a thought in the shower one day and the course of the next few months of my life was changed irrevocably#rosalia talks

More writing-based notes for scenes I want to put in Where the Wild Things Go when I get back to my computer:
- Go back and input a scene talking about why the Hummingbird wants to leave their parents permanently, preferably by showcasing the parent’s attitude towards Wild Things.
- Go back and show more of the Hummingbird adjusting to living in a forest and the culture that goes along with it, probably before the Hummingbird has their full transformation and they’re still living with the Spider alongside the other young Wild Things
- Show the Hummingbird learning to craft a spear that they can use in hunting and learning how to use said spear.p
- Show how the Wild Things typically survive in the wintertime, since large farmland is pretty much impossible given the circumstances. As a result, the Wild Things are more social with each other and hunt in groups to ensure that nobody dies of cold and that everyone gets to eat.
- The Hummingbird creating a place to live, possibly sharing a living space or living nearby the Cyclopean Feline, basically finding the materials to decorate it and make it livable.
- Show a different winter, and a much harsher one, where a group of Wild Things are nearly shot to death after chasing some sort of animal into the field near the Civilized Society. This leads to a Civilized Person leaving a couple bags of food near the edge of the forest, which leads to a debate about whether or not the food is safe to take or if it’s been poisoned/if they’ll be shot upon entering the field to grab the food. But desperation leads the Hummingbird to go out and grab the bags before quickly retreating to the forest.
- The Hummingbird, now a much better flier, doing air trickshots through the trees alongside other flying Wild Things.
- The Cyclopean Feline adopting a young Wild Thing (maybe 12-13?) and the Hummingbird agreeing to co-raise the kid with them. The kid is probably on-par with a griffon but has the front half of a tiger and the back half (including the wings) of a dragon. Basically show them raising and interacting with the kid.
- The Hummingbird unwisely getting near the Civilized Society and spotting a partially transformed kid inside the wall who is being chased. Hummingbird then dives down, grabs the kid, and flies away with them, which causes a ruckus within the wall and gets the Hummingbird in vague trouble when they get back.
- Another average day in the Hummingbird’s life now that they’re slightly older and a more functional adult, plus them checking in on the now fully-transformed Wild Thing they saved. They also fly around with the Tiger-Dragon.
- The Civilized Society getting more and more aggressive towards the Wild Place, which eventually leads to a party of them going out to capture Wild Things. They nearly capture the Tiger-Dragon, who’s probably around 16-17 at this point, but the Hummingbird saves them and gets captured instead.
- The Hummingbird is caged inside the wall and meets an old classmate of theirs, who is their jailer. The classmate recognizes them and is horrified by their transformation, but the Hummingbird eventually convinced them to unlock the cell and let the Hummingbird fly away.
- Civilized Society continues to be aggressive, which causes more and more Wild Things to leave the forest in search of somewhere better. The Hummingbird, Cyclopean Feline, and Tiger-Dragon stay as long as they can, but eventually also choose to leave together in search of somewhere safer. The Spider, however, opts to stay so it can continue to care for young Wild Things. The family wishes it luck and then leaves.
- Show a couple different places that the family travel to and see if it’s a good fit for them, leaving for various reasons. They do, however, eventually find a place they like and decide to stay. They then have to learn to adjust to this new place and to having fewer Wild Things around.
- The three of them continue to live their lives and they all slowly get older. They also reminisce along the way about the Wild Place, and the many creatures who lived there alongside them.
- Eventually, the Hummingbird and Cyclopean Feline are quite old and struggle to do many tasks, but are still relatively happy and enjoy their life together, especially since the Tiger-Dragon is capable of caring for them. The Hummingbird does eventually die (although not of violent causes), and dies looking up at the sky and seeing the birds flying around.
#long post#also personal notes because this is more reliable than paper#I can and will lose anything paper#dear god this story is gonna be a long one#it’s already at like 4k words and that was only with a few scenes#writing

Plotted out the last scene so I could leech off the late night sleep deprivation thoughts for it (it'll make sense Why that's good when u guys see it). Saving the actual writing for the morning tho.
You guys will see. I think this chapter will be worth the wait. At least somewhat.
#speculation nation#itnl shit#maybe not worth a 6 month wait but oh well beggars cant be choosers etc etc#anyways. with the scene fully plotted out & me just needing to fill out the prose#this has increased the chances of the Within A Day itnl update.#it's so close to being realized. i seem to have finally broken out of my writer's block. and i am so fucking pumped.#the only reason im not writing it rn is bc im tired and it wouldnt be good hfkshfkd#im at like 4k ish words done rn. this last scene will probably put it at Least 6k. maybe more. we'll see!!!!#Be Excited. itnl update is Soon.

its so fucking annoying when writing the very end of a fic is giving you grief........this is why most of what i write is little scenes/short form stuff man TT i'm no good at longer narratives
#its not even that long man its like 3k words itll probably only go to 4k when i'm finished#the longest thing i've ever written was 5k...so much respect for writers who can put out 10k pieces bc i genuinely don't understand how
