#so i saved it as a draft to work on later

Hey, I'm going through something not quite the same but similar. I had long COVID and developed severe brain fog during the height of my freelance writing career. I began missing deadlines, dropping communications, getting confused in the middle of writing sentences, and developing migraines from trying to write assignments.
It was devastating, and I've never met someone else who was in a similar position until now. Bucket is right, take time to grieve. I spent years crying and feeling like someone had died. But after that, I slowly began getting back to writing. I agree with everything that's already been said, with some additions and comments.
1. I switched how I communicated with my developers. Instead of email, I learned that Discord was way easier for me because chatting was FAR less strenuous than email-speak. Nowadays, professionalism in general is draining, so maybe something to think about. What KINDS of writing tire you out most?
2. I save my energy for when it matters. If I know I'll be writing today I treat myself extra gently and ask for extra help. That even includes asking someone to help grab snacks for me so I'm not getting up and down as often (mind you, I also have physical limitations).
3. I'm open about my limitations. Feeling like I can not only share my struggles but feel a measure of control in managing expectations helps my anxiety and imposter syndrome a lot.
4. I basically changed everything about my writing process. I use mindmaps and braindumping instead of outlines. I write my first drafts in bullet points. Yes. Bullet points. I type in Google Docs instead of Word. And I spitball my writing ideas out loud with people more often the process.
5. Feed your brain. I only started seeing major improvements after I cut a lot of processed foods out of my diet, drank water as my only drink at home, and worked with doctors to address vitamin deficiencies and mental health.
6. Might not fit your situation, but I also started co-writing with my husband. It's been really fun and effective!
7. This one might be weird, but DON'T push through brain fog or processing issues if you're having a lot of trouble. Step back, rest, try again later. Yes, practice, persistence, and patience are key, but I was hurting myself trying to push against the resistance like I was exercising a muscle. Our situations aren't identical, but the brain is an amazing organ. Take care of it, exercise it with variety instead of intensity, and enrich it. See if that helps.
This past year I was able to enter and complete and writing competition with my husband, and it was really fun! So don't give up trying and be kind to yourself. Let's show the world what we can do! 💙
Hi, this is a really specific situation, but I'm at a loss. I had an accident that left me with lasting brain issues, and my writing has taken a hit. I went from being able to churn out a 3k word chapter in a day to needing an hour to write 50 words. I have so many ideas but can't express them, and I hate writing as a result. I know practice and just pushing through are going to be the main pieces of advice, but do you have any other suggestions or resources for someone who is having to re-learn how to be a writer?
Hey there! First off, I’m so sorry this response took me so long. Your Ask really stuck with me, and I wanted to give it the thought and care it deserves.
I can’t imagine how frustrating and heartbreaking it must be to go through such a big shift in your writing process. Losing that ease and flow—especially when you have so many ideas—is a huge adjustment. It’s a testament to your creativity and drive that you’re still thinking about how to keep writing despite the challenges.
You’re absolutely right that practice and pushing through are often the go-to advice, but I think it’s equally important to give yourself permission to grieve what’s changed. Writing can feel like such a core part of who we are, and when it’s harder than it used to be, it’s natural to feel a sense of loss.
Here are a few suggestions that might help as you navigate this:
1. Try Different Mediums: If typing feels like slogging through mud, maybe experiment with dictation software or voice-to-text tools. Speaking your ideas aloud could help you capture more words without the same strain.
2. Focus on Smaller Goals: Instead of trying to write full chapters, set tiny, manageable goals—like jotting down a single image or one sentence that excites you. Those little wins can add up and feel more achievable.
3. Explore New Ways of Outlining: If you’re struggling to get the words out, focus on the ideas instead. Create bullet points, mind maps, or even doodles to capture the essence of your story without the pressure of fully fleshed-out prose.
4. Be Kind to Yourself: This is the hardest one, but it’s so important. Writing isn’t just about the final product; it’s about the joy of creating. Even if the words come slower, every step you take is progress.
And don't forget to give yourself a ton of credit! Re-learning how to write in a way that works for you now is an incredible act of resilience. You’re still a writer, and your stories are still worth telling, even if the path looks different.
Hope this helps!

More Edgy with the three Edge Lords
Edge, Edger, and Edgiest
Stupid Virus makes them basically feral so they get lil fangs and scruffy hair ( They're also paler then my usual pallet for them lmao)
Lowkey Adam needa stick that tounge back in bruh. I also think this is the first time I've avoided finishing a hand. Very unlike me, I love hands
Also for those with a minute are two to burn here is the draft for that fic I was working on :
“ Douglas come on, we’re gonna be late for the car show!” Leo fussed, tussling with his jacket as he inched toward the door. Next to him, Adam was shining his tennis shoes and nodding enthusiastically. “ Yeah Dougy we gotta get going or all the dopeass parking spots will be gone.”
Douglas had spent most of the day moving his old boxes from the Academy to the Davenport Penthouse and was frankly tired at this point. He’d made the questionable choice to promise Leo and Adam a trip to the Centuim City Car show for “good behavior” and couldn't deny that they kept up their end of the bargain.
“ Parking? Really Adam?” he sighed, taking a moment to sift through a box marked. Evil Items to deal with/ Figure out later. Damn himself he really outta not leave things to be done at a later date…
“ Yeah! I heard they have killer hotdogs too! Get this… They have a condiment bar and the condiments come out in little gasoline pumps!” he exclaimed holding his hands out with a tilt as if he had said something groundbreaking. They looked at him for a bit. Leo opened his mouth, thought better of it, and closed it again before returning to Douglas.
“ Come on Lil D… You can deal with those boxes later. We gotta get outta here before Chase and Big D come back and beg to go too. You know those two are real party poopers.” Douglas grimaced a bit as he dug deeper in the box. “ Geez Leo I get it. I just really wanna get all these boxes to my room before tomorrow!”
“ Whats happening down here?”
Kaz chuckled, dragging his way down the steps. “ Actually, save your breath. I was eavesdropping. Heh. Classic Kaz move.” He flew the last two steps, to lazy to even walk the rest of the way down, and stopped with a hover over the boxes. Oliver came down right after him his nose buried in a comic.
“ Oh, this is perfect!” Leo gasped. “ Pepper spray and Frosty the Nerd here can use their freaky deeky powers to put these boxes away for you Dougy!” Adam nodded along enthusiastically.
“ Yes! Wait, I thought their super names were Wild-Spark and Frost-Flare? I already had them sign my limited edition Frost-Spark branded thermoses with those names… How can I resell them on Eway for triple the auction price now!” Adam questioned with a whine.
“Doesn't matter because I don't trust these super-powered geeks with a fresh chicken egg let alone my personal belongings.” Douglas griped; continuing to dig in the box. “ And I think some collectors would actually pay top dollar for items with the original names…” he added with a nod to Adam. Just as his hand came into contact with a suspiciously familiar bag, Oliver used his super strength to lift the whole box away.
“ Who says you can't trust us? We’re very trustworthy!” he bargained while flinging the box like it was weightless.
“ Us. Yeah, we don't trust you guys, You are very inexperienced. Super. Yeah. Yea..” the Davenports and Dooley mildly commented their opinions overlapping each other but all agreeing to the same conclusion. “Yeah, I would NOT trust the supes personally…” Kaz added flipping through the comic Oliver had left discarded.
Oliver swatted at his arm. “ OW. Super strength Oli!”
“ Well, I want you guys to trust us. We’re on the same team and if gaining your trust involves putting up a few boxes… well I think we can handle that.” He said with a sure nod. Kaz was quiet. Oliver swatted at him again.“ DUDE. SUPER. STRENGTH.”
“ Kaz. Don't leave me hanging here!” Oliver hissed as he set the box down. With a groan, Kaz began his reprisal:
“ Do I have to?”
“ No. KAZ. I’ll do all the work while you sit there and look pretty.”
“Pretty sure that’s what I’m best at. But alright, fine. I’ll move the box.”
Using as little strength as possible Kaz used his foot to shift a small box a few inches before settling back down to read the comic. “ Done.”
“ Kaz!” Oliver began. “ Chill Oli, I'm a professional.”
The Davenports and Dooley stood there for a second before Leo clasped his hands again. “ Good enough for us! Come on. Dougy. Adam. Let's go.” He grabbed his uncle and brother with his bionic limb and drug them out.
“ Alright! Alright!” Douglas fussed. “ You two just put those boxes in my room, I'll deal with them later. Do NOT look in them, especially the ones that say Evil on ‘em.”
“He's not talking to me,” Kaz assured his buddy
“I'm only talking to you, Kaz.” Douglas reaffirmed from the hall outside the apartment.
As soon as Douglas, Adam, and Leo had rushed out, leaving the penthouse in a flurry of excitement for the car show, Kaz took a moment to sit back, stretch, and lazily inspect the room. His eyes landed back on the box that Douglas had left behind, and the familiar mischievous grin tugged at his lips.
He zipped over to the box as fast as he could. The label Evil Items to deal with/ Figure out later practically screamed "Look in me!" in Kaz’s mind.
Oliver, still awkwardly hovering near the box, raised an eyebrow and shot a wary glance at Kaz. “Kaz, do you ever listen to anyone?”
Kaz’s face brightened, as he peered at Oliver. “ Come on Oli-pop, Dougie told me not to look. Nothing about riffling through them. So you know what that means.”
“Uh…” Oliver hesitated. “It means you’re gonna “riffle” through it anyway and probably make a mess?”
“Bingo!” Kaz grinned wide and started sifting through the box.
Oliver sighed. “Kaz, you're like a walking disaster, man. I swear.” He watched, making no real effort to stop his friend with his arms crossed, as Kaz dug deeper into the box, tossing aside old, dusty items like he was shopping for treasure.
To be frank he was curious too. The Davenports had told little about Douglas’ past before rejoining his family. And maybe this box would hold some juicy secrets.
Kaz dug in deep pushing past through innators and doomsday devices before pulling out a black bag marked with a large, red "DESTROY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE" tag. His eyes sparkled. “Oooh, what’s this? If it says ‘destroy,’ it’s gotta be good!”
Oliver immediately raised his voice. “Kaz, don’t—”
Just as he spoke, the door to the penthouse swung open, and in strode Chase and Donald. Donald was talking to his wife Tasha, assuring her that Leo was with Douglas and that he and Chase had safely arrived.
Chase’s eyes immediately landed on Kaz, and his face scrunched in typical exasperation as he fumbled with his satchel.
“Kaz!” he shouted, beeling toward him. “ I know that look on your face! Whatever that is you shouldn't be touching it!”
Kaz grinned and shrugged. “Yeah, but like, if it says destroy on it and I find that interesting, that’s like… an invitation, right? Like, maybe I’m doing the owner a favor!”
Chase’s expression darkened and he lunged for the bag. “No, Kaz! That’s literally the opposite of a favor!”
Kaz, now holding the black bag aloft like a prized find, gave it a little shake. “C’mon, Chaser, what’s the worst that could happen~”
“A lot, if you're involved, Super klutz!” Chase fussed.
“Puulease~” Kaz gaufed. “ I can be-”
As if on cue, the bag slipped from Kaz’s hands as they tussled over it, hitting the ground with a muffled thud. Both boys froze for a moment, looking down at the bag.
Then, with a horrifying crack, the object inside shattered into a million glass-like pieces. Which then slid out of the shredded bag.
“Great Job Kazemerias!” Chase proclaimed sarcasm oozing from his voice as he lunged down to pick them up, but the jagged shards glinted dangerously.
“Chase, careful!” Oliver yelled, taking a step forward, but Chase ignored him.
“Get back!” he barked, swatting at Kaz and Oliver who were trying to help, but clearly making things worse in Chase’s mind.
Donald, who had finished his call with Tasha from the doorway, now stepped forward. His face twisted in mild frustration, but the calm, authoritative edge to his voice cut through the tension. “ That looks like one of Doug's boxes. He's got some really dangerous stuff in storage... I can't imagine he’d let you look-” he stopped himself before continuing. “ No wait he would do that. Well- Oliver I wouldn't expect you to go through someone's private belongings like that. ”
Oliver muttered a nervous, “Sorry, Mr. Davenport.” and Kaz gasped in annoyance.
“ The emphasis on the you is really telling Mr. Davenport.”
Chase let out his own indignant huff. “ You made this mess Kaz so I think it’s a well-deserved discrepancy.”
The glass pieces were still scattered across the floor, glimmering menacingly. Chase let out a sharp hiss of pain and clutched his palm. Blood began to seep from a slit on his hand, from where he’d cut himself while trying to handle the shards. His eyes flashed with frustration and… something else, as he pressed the wound against his side, not looking at anyone else as he pulled out a pen-like machine from his satchel. Staring at it for a second before shaking his head as if he had escaped a trance, and began fiddling with the device.
“Chase!” Donald’s voice softened, the concern obvious. He quickly strode over, knelt beside him, and examined the cut. “Let me get you a bandage, kid. I've been working on these quick healing strips. This cut is a bit deep but it should help…” He strode off to get the bandages
Kaz scratched his head. “I didn’t mean to break it. Honest. I thought it’d be like… a million dollars or something. Ya know rich people leave stacks of those in random places…”
Oliver awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, looking at the floor. “Yeah, I—I didn’t exactly stop him. So... I’m sorry too. We should’ve just put the boxes in Doug’s room like he asked.”
Chase gave a half-hearted glare, wincing as he flexed his palm to examine the cut “ Whatever. I should've been more careful cleaning this mess. God knows you probably would've sliced your finger clean off. ”
Kaz’s face twisted in mock offense. “ Maybe, Chaser…”
“Mm-hmm,” Donald muttered, coming back up with the bandage. He leaned down, applying a glowing blue strip to Chase's palm. It shrunk to the exact parameters of the cut and faded to match his son's skin tone.
“How many trail runs did you test this thing with, Mr. Davenport?” Chase asked, running a finger over it. “ Loads, I've been toying with these for decades and they've been doing amazing in practice these past two years. What I can’t figure out is how to manufacture them at a less expensive cost so they can be sold to distributors and consumers for less” Donald stood up and dusted his hands off. “ These strips can help a lot of people… they’ll pull out bacteria and all kinds of icky stuff out of wounds.”
“And ,Next time Kaz, leave the dangerous stuff alone. That includes whatever that was.” He gestured at the broken pieces, which were nowhere to be seen anymore.
“I, uh... got rid of the pieces with my mini-atomizer,” Chase added sheepishly holding up the pen-like contraption, finally glancing up. “It’s... gone now. Shouldn’t be a problem.”
Kaz eyed the pen, already planning things. “Well, that’s one way to make it disappear, I guess.”
“I swear, you two...” Donald sighed, rubbing his temples. “Just... just go sit down, okay? All three of you and Chase don't mess around too much with the healing strip. Whatever you do, don't get it wet. I haven't figured out water resistance for this particular model yet.” He cast a pointed glance at Kaz and Oliver before leaving them all to sulk quietly.
Kaz and Oliver, both apologized again to Chase, sat down, the atmosphere hanging with a mixture of guilt and awkwardness. Chase went to the Kitchen planning to cook up a five-star meal probably.
Kaz stretched out on the couch, looking unbothered again despite everything. “That was kind of fun, though.”
Oliver shot him a warning look but didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his attention back to the spot where the mysterious black glass had vanished and thought about the mini-atomizer and how he could get his hands on it.
It's def not finished I didn't even write the super slasher-y parts yet. (No ones gonna die) Feel free to critique lowkey

You mentioned an ex-wife for the sugar daddy au, what's up with that whole thing if you don't mind me asking??
(Also will this be an y/n au or not for context???)
ok ok so..! i call her ex-wife, literally just so i can make the "i miss my wife tails" joke but more accurately she's actually his ex-fiancée! now im trusting myself not to share too much because eventually i wanna write this all out:
This is a y/n au!! They have a tiny bit of established lore that I'm reusing from what was initially a separate au that I combined with the sugar daddy au 'cause why not? I've been meaning to share some doodles I have for them but I've had no time/motivation
Now, I'm waving my hand vaguely here for this next bit: Eclipse only got into sugaring/sugar dating AFTER he and his ex-fiancée broke things off for good. It wasn't on good terms and there wasn't much of a proper goodbye from either. He's grateful that Atlas was too young to understand it or know what was happening; with his ex-fiancée gone, Eclipse had to be both "mom" and "dad" for the kid.
Sugar dating, for Eclipse, is a means to scratch that itch for companionship and intimacy- even if only superficial. It makes the loneliness sting a bit less for him. Of course, he still desires to be in a genuine relationship! Though it doesn't help that when his personal feelings do get involved, he gets hurt every time.
By the time y/n comes into the picture, Eclipse will have been sugaring for a while.
AAA I FORGOT ABOUT THIS IN MY DRAFTS IM SO SORRY </3 i have a terrible habit of losing asks in my drafts because i try to answer these between jobs oof
#anyways im going back to sleep for work i woke up randomly and decided to answer this while im still awake#i wanna share more but for now this is all i can offer; a little of sugar!clip lore for ya <3#pingquery#dca fandom#fnaf daycare attendant#fnaf eclipse#sugar!clip#again- sorry it took me so long to answer this!!#asks are getting buried with more asks. same can be said for my drafts good lord#or i start to answer an ask but then im working so i save it as a draft to post later then i forget about it altogether when i get home rip#kind of guilty for liking the sugar dating turning into genuine love trope because its fun being delusional idk

Okay, but I'm casting my mind back to try to imagine how I would have felt about tboc daryl before season 10 got me so stupid about this show, when I used to be a casual viewer. And I still think I'd have just thought daryl lost his mind tbh.
This is just me going off on tangents about the show now, don't mind me.
He felt a bit off in season 1, I can't lie. The costume change would have thrown me even if I wasn't as attached, because I'm probs just the type of neurodivergent that struggles with too much change at once, and him being away from TF, in Europe, and looking so different, then calling Laurent useless, then the ways he looked at Isabelle at the end of 1x06 - that was all just too different to the Daryl I knew idk. But I stuck with it.
But having his first on-screen kiss be so entirely unpredictable for what I thought I knew of his character felt gratuitous*. And then it's like suddenly I'm being railroaded into following him on this rolleroaster that I don't understand. One minute he's longing for home, the next he's playing baseball and "just having fun". Then home has found him, but now he's invested in this kid I still haven't learnt to feel invested in yet. And he's never even talking about anything to do with home anymore, even after Carol is there? It's suddenly all just about Laurent, and part of the problem for me is there wasn't enough balance to convince me of the story.
And I think this was most of my difficulty with enjoying TOWL, too. (Don't come for me please for talking about my personal experience of watching TOWL.) I watched TOWL first out of all the spinoffs, and I remember this one part where I think Michonne and Rick were in a kitchen or something and Rick felt so different to me and it made me sad, and then she called it out. And he said something like that it's been so long, he's lost who he used to be or something like that. I can't remember exactly, but it made me sad. And I think, for me, I didn't get enough glimpses of the Rick I recognised within the short 6 episodes that I never felt satisfied or happy with it. And maybe I needed more TF references or something??? I didn't even feel enough concern for Judith or RJ from him - maybe I'm misremembering, but I think your memory of the feeling something gave you is important. I get that the leadership want these spinoffs to be accessible to people who didn't watch the flagship show, but I think that's a big part of where it's losing the magic for me.
The thing that was better for me about DD season 1 is that it was all about getting home, and his determination felt relentless throughout the first 5 and a half episodes before it suddenly got weird with Isabelle acting like they've been a family for 19 years. Like, before that, I felt connected to his mission.** But then in season 2, it's almost completely gone, and Carol feels like the only part I can still connect with. Like, I know Rick didn't mention Daryl either I think, but I wish both of them had talked about each other. Idk, it just would have felt more like it's giving me something I can connect with? Rather than just throwing the characters into entirely new situations and also deliberately making them feel a bit out of character?
That whole part in TOWL where Michonne feels surprised to find Rick a bit changed is so similar to what they seemed to want to do with Daryl and Carol, and I don't really get why they did it to either of them. It's more believable with Rick than Daryl bc 1. He isn't Daryl and definitely adapts more to new environments, and 2. It had been many, many, many years, not like a month. But idk, I still wasn't keen, but at least they gave it a redemption arc or whatever you'd call it. With daryl it's still just like - ???? And for what reason??? I don't know. I just don't find it compelling idk idk idk.
*Even in season 9, when we met Connie, I felt a bit like 'oh are they gonna force a ship here bc they have them spending time together 🤨 (rather than just letting connie want to help for her own character reasons rather than making it about daryl and shipping), but if it's gonna be someone who isn't carol, I think I'm okay with connie', like bc we actually had reasons to like her and there was chemistry with Daryl. So why neither Connie nor Carol, but Isabelle? The show just never got me invested in darabelle in any way.
I already liked connie before they had her going on missions with daryl, so I actually cared about her a lot. I loved seeing her on those missions bc I was excited for her to have more screen time and I found her character empowering. So, I didn't want to see her reduced to just being Daryl's love interest, and tbh, I don't think they handled it well, bc they still reduced her to being Daryl's accessory, rather than giving her her own character depth. But I *still* would have been more on board with pairing up Daryl with Connie than Isabelle. Tbh, by the time that Carol was broken up with zeke, and they had the conversation about running away together, I didn't think of Daryl and Connie as making sense to pair anymore... But I also didn't see much point in the Leah romance either, so whatever, I guess this show just has a pattern of pairing up Daryl with random women he doesn't have chemistry with, instead of the ones he does?
**I always remember that Zabel pitched the idea for the show as "what if, in trying to get home, you find something else?", and the thing is, in order to get me to be convinced that Daryl "found something else", I'd have needed A LOT stronger of a pull for the French story. There was nothing there that hooked me to becoming convinced of Daryl finding something while trying to get home. Just having him voice the words "I found something", having Laurent the prophet say "you miss her too, I can tell", putting his crossbow next to Isabelle's hospital bed, and having him look at her for an extended time after she recovers, doesn't suddenly convince me of that idea. Idk. I'm not in the TV industry, so I don't know how that magic gets done - like when season 10 slowly turned Lydia into one of my favourite characters after she was introduced as an antagonist. But I have enough brain cells to see (from the moment they nonsensically forced them to share a bed??) that they were trying to convince us Daryl found "something" in France, and tbh, if I can see the strain in their efforts to make it happen, it's probably not working. And even NR couldn't answer why Isabelle when asked at NYCC. He was literally like, "idk they have similar pasts?? Idk???". Like, girl, if you don't know, why should your audience?
#I write a lot of stream of consciousness bs like this and usually just save it in my drafts lol bc why would anyone want to read it#and it just takes up space but idk today im pressing post and prob gonna delete it later tbh#also again PLLLLEASE dont come for me about talking about one of the spinoffs im not even going to tag it#I mean im not even going to type it here so it doesnt tag it#my takes arent meant to be perfect theyre just my takes#and specifically rn im trying to look at it from a gut feeling place rather than an over analysing place and these are mostly my gut feelin#daryl dixon is a horrendous title and ive felt that way since before I became as invested as ive become#that was a gut feeling#and now im just obsessed with it#thats just how my ADHD brain works ig#but I happily watched twd without being obsessed with it for 12 years which is 11 years and 8 months longer than ive been obsessed with it#my brain just decided this is my next hyperfixation bc s10 happened to wow me right as I was getting bored with my last one#my last one was actually hiking mountains lol that was a lot healthier and more socially acceptable and I didnt receive any online bullying#tboc#the book of carol

What do you hope they’ll do with the new PPG reboot with Craig McCrakken coming back?
If I have to be honest about my opinion, I want them to leave the franchise alone, and I really don’t understand any reason to bring the series back. I didn’t even really want the 2016 reboot. In my mind, the series went from S1-S4 of the original (I give or take the other two seasons, lol), the movie, and ended with the 2008 The PPG Rule!!! special. So much time has passed, and after having lost a few people who added so much to the original series, I feel like it just won’t be the same. Which is absolutely fine if it’s not. Like, my ~childhood isn’t ruined~ and I’m all for people having jobs and making something, just… not when it’s being made mostly for the sake that it can make lots of money in merchandising after the fact (and when there are creators out there with other ideas for shows that could be made in its stead… I mean, Craig himself claims he has like a billion ideas for new shows that got shot down, geez, make one of those).
But I know it’s more likely than not to get made (sigh) so if it does, all I hope for is the best. I hope it’s fun, silly, hardcore, frenetic, all of the things that made the original show great. A few episodes would be really cool, like one mini season that had an overarching story could be fun. As far as story goes… man, I dunno. Again, it all ended for me with the special. The girls are forever fighting crime in Townsville and I have my happy ending already, but I am absolutely not opposed to being surprised and eventually getting something that makes me react to it, like, “Whoa, I didn’t know that I actually needed this!”
#I actually had a very long post related to this topic that I’ve been saving in my drafts so… maybe I’ll post that later#I also fear creeps working on the show but that’s like my fear with everything coming out of Hollywood nowadays 😔#but anyway I’m still trying to be optimistic despite my reservations!!

Ooh for Toad Peach AU how did the first meeting go with the officials of the Beanbean Kingdom? Ohh maybe more on Peach and Peasley's becoming friends. Does he help her feel a little more confident in her true form? Gimme all of the dynamics hehe
idk why i thought i dreamed this ask but i forgot you sent it 😭 here ya go!
the beanbean and mushroom kingdoms have an extremely close relationship that’s rather old, and as such the births of both heirs were highly celebrated by both families.
here, peasley is roughly 1 year older than peach, and the betrothal between the two was set up very early so the two do not remember their first meeting as they were infants at the time. but still, they visited peach many times before her debutante.
peach’s parents died in a horrific incident i still haven’t detailed when she was around 3-4, which did result in queen bean reaching out more often as peach grew older to offer additional guidance and support :]
but back to peasley and peach, they were thick as thieves and peasley introduced her to fencing! toadsworth wasn’t a fan at first but eventually relented (whatever endears her to peasley, plus any experience with a weapon could come in handy if the mushroom kingdom were to ever leave the peacful era). she’s quite adept in both forms, but prefers to fence in human form. it isn’t something she practices often in current day but it’s something she treasures the memories of alongside trying his bean pillow and learning about beanbean allies and his travels :]
though, as they got older, the two became more aware of their betrothal and what would follow, but things weren’t clicking so they decided to experiment a little (read: they kissed and neither of them liked it. sad!) but neither have brought up calling anything off as both are quite fine with something contractual if it came down to it (but peach would call it off if peasley asked)
at peach’s debutante, they danced together first as a show of the kingdom relationship, and when the first attack/kidnapping happens, the beanbean kingdom offered aid and refuge (little fungitown)
re: her appearance and peasley—she initially meets the beanbean family in toad form, but as she got older this became rarer as experience (and her self image) became priority. peasley makes sure to praise her toad form’s beauty when he sees it, and when mario does come into the picture is of the firm opinion alongside daisy that he does not deserve her if he doesn’t like her true form. on most days she agrees with him
as for superstar saga, he still arrives to the mushroom kingdom ahead of time and toadette volunteers to take peach’s place instead of birdo (the effect is later undone before peach arrives in the beanbean kingdom)
post superstar saga, the two meet (peach crownless) to discuss their love interests, and their betrothal is officially called off. consequent meetings with the beanbean kingdom are held in her toad form :]
#gari’s asks#nintendo#smb#toad peach au#princess peach#prince peasley#ty key ily 🩵#oh my god i hate tumblr no i did not click on that notification i was working on a draft 😭#for clarification: mario and luigi know about her toad form by superstar saga#i’m not sure if peach ever publicizes their relationship but they are more explicit/open after superstar saga#but overall peasley is a treasured confidant before daisy enters the picture#and i imagine that peasley would give her gifts from other kingdoms since between her preparations and toadsworth she never left the castle#so peach has a healthy love of travel#i feel like peach wouldn’t have wanted to call off the betrothal first and foremost bc of how much she loves queen bean#like she knows that it wouldn’t change but still#also after the debutante and the bowser thing that’s the only thing saving her from a marriage plot working#kind of. you know what i mean#peasley visited a few times after her debutante but he did not meet mario or luigi until superstar saga#(they weren’t isekai’d yet or mario was away or sick)#half wrote this off the seat of my pants but it is mainly based of what i wrote about their relationship in my notes#i did write that she was gonna get married at like. age 23-25 but im still figuring out the timeline so rn superstar saga happens when shes#a lot later than that i think. i don’t want everything to be so compressed but if i want everything to fit in a certain timeline i need#to do some adjustments on timeframe and/or maybe make peach younger when smb happens#peasley and daisy have a lighthearted rivalry 👍🏽

I was going to write this in the tags of your last post but i think it's important actually so I'm gonna send an ask
On a more serious note I'm actually kind of obsessed with psychoanalyzing Zoro specifically. Because he actually has some pretty big issues I think, mentally
He takes his self appointed job as protector of the crew very very seriously, and he's really hard on himself if he thinks he's failed in any way. I mean just look at him right after Little Garden, or how mad he is after losing his shadow on Thriller Bark.
So yeah there's nothing in that brain but swords and I fucking love that about him, he sure is sharpening them to an unhealthy degree isn't he. He's never strong enough, after all, to protect everyone.
I just,, really like combining silly ideas with serious ones, it's fun
GOD listen is 12:25 am but I just couldnt go to bed without at least STARTING to jot down my thoughts on this but like YEAH. for SURE. Zoro for all that he’s shown to be a pretty simple guy with a single-minded focus, has a LOT to chew on in terms of character depth and layers. There’s lots of fun contradictions to him too. He’s prideful and self-assured but also so often self-punishing, and he’s also someone who is fiercely independent and a free spirit, while having a habit of building his own identity around others (both his dreams are shared with others, they belong other people as much as they do to him and that’s a LOT to think about).
You may have actually caught me red handed here cause that ‘Journey to the Center of the Mind’ story concept maaaay be kind of something i’ve played around with for months now. I think I once tried to write out like a basic premise, but the only thing I really remember is is wanting Luffy to be the primary person to undergo the journey cause. if every Strawhat was present it’d feel less intimate, less personal, and I feel like Luffy would want to explore Zoro’s mind alone to preserve his privacy. Unaware that he’s the person Zoro has the most to hide from. I think the levels of Zoro’s willingness to put the Strawhat’s well being first has the potential to truly frighten him, if the visuals Zoro’s mind provides him are right.
#The idea I had written down is a little embarrassing to talk about too in depth tho dkfjd its silly#It’s a very vague rough draft at best and I dont have a lot of practice in writing. It’d definitely be too ambitious in execution for me#I just remember being very excited to use the wisteria symbol throughout the story… since Oda said it was like ‘his’ plant#I thought that maybe the reason Zoro was put into a situation where he NEEDED to be saved from his own mind could be#smth very mysterical and magical some unexplainable grandline phenomenon#I pictured a big wisteria tree that preys on human’s will#Zoro would lay down to nap under its shade unknowingly and it would quickly plant its roots right into his brain.#and slowly make it so he feels more and more emotionally fatigued until he can’t even bring himself to wake up#He’d have to be reinvigorated somehow#and maybe at first Luffy would think that the way to do that is by reminding him that he has to fight for the crew and his dream#(which is a reasonable assumption as that usually works)#and later realize that maybe what Zoro needs to be reminded of is that he needs to fight for HIMSELF.#Something that he hasn’t 100% done since he promised to Kuina their dream would be shared#ANYWHO. ITS ABOUT TO BE 1 AM NOW#I am not a night owl!!! Sorry for any typos and for the longass tags skfjsk#my post#ask#💚

Spent the last little while rereading a fic I started just shy of a decade ago and going 'dang, this is actually pretty good. Like I need to rewrite it if I'm gonna keep going, but GOOD JOB, past me, this is compelling stuff.'
#was also weird to hit the end though#because I have attempted to write what comes after what I have posted on AO3#SO many times#I don't even want to look at the drafts folder because it's horrific but it's definitely more than 5#and I don't mean draft revisions I mean 'times I threw out the whole chapter and started over because I couldn't make it Work#I may just give myself permission to do the very stupid thing I was planning to save for much later on#it's absurd but it's one of the Original Notions for the whole shebang so whatever#I did not survive being a suicidal adolescent to NOT have a stupid self-indulgent good time

(natlan character lineup leaks/claims of dubious reliability as for now)
well huh. if u ask me the one thing i rly wasnt expecting to hear abt the alleged upcoming characters its this whole "5* geo tall lady in 5.1 will be big meta support" like. how come Now they remember geo as an element exists again more often than once in more than a year 💀 but ig interesting if true???
tho massive grain of salt w leaker "theorycrafting" as usual - even if the core claims themselves on her kit outline end up being somewhat true (a supportive 5* geo), when leakers say Anything about "team synergies" or "x will be meta" its uhhhhhhh. dubious at best. remember when clorinde and arlecchino were going to be good together in a team? yae the electro dps ceiling? lmao
(guess they did get the chiori albedo powercreep right tho but that ones. easy)
still tho if she actually ends up being a thing and a cool design i could actually see myself going for her??? i dislike mono geo yes and never had any interest in it but navia n chiori r obviously favorites and if shes more of a flexible unit than tied to geo completely (buffer support with an unkillable construct so it becomes the new zhongli/chiori flex core mby??????) then very cool and might well be a pull id go for
...... is what id like to say. BUT. the actual real important content this leak is giving me is. if 5* geo in 5.1. then chioris probably rerunning in the same patch???? so thats locked in actually and the priority lmao
anyway im p sure that starting the way i am aka. 0 pity p much and no guarantee but with the remainder of 4.7 left, 4.8, 5.0 and then depending on 1st or 2nd half of 5.1 or then the entire patch to save im fairly confident c4 will be guaranteed even in the worst case scenario? i have a bit under 50 pulls currently. so thats neat but getting lucky w even just a 50-50 win or two would b ideal . We will see .
also man im actually SO happy i just got uraku misugiri on release easy n comfy so i dont need to fear wasting my chiori constellation pulls on any weapon banner bs lmao. but like cheeky c6 with some sigma luck on first rerun pls.... just 4 copies hoyo 🙏
(also IF i luck out on chiori c6 and she runs w the new alleged geo 5* lady and IF she synergizes w carry chiori. then obviously we try pulling 😤)
no thoughts for now on the other alleged kits tho other than hydro 5* catalyst is so. Why another one. also i love the iansan element discourse of is she the claimed 4* geo of 5.0 or a later pyro unit bc she makes fire in her fists in travail and all. boothill explosions in splash art but still physical moment
(still wanna see the actual character designs so bad. leaks have dried up like hell recently bc hoyos tightened up security 💀💀)
#BRUH i hate mobile it showed the save icon for drafts but just posted this early when i pressed it 💀💀💀#so like yeah was supposed to be longer and posted later now im in rush for work lmao#will talk abt the other stuff in a diff post prolly#genshin#rambles
