#thoughts while writing

[bl-mitchum]

It’s really bold of me, a neurodivergent who struggles with rejection sensitivity, to want to be a writer— a career path forged entirely by rejection.

To kill Arthur again or to let him *unrealistically* survive tb for a happy ending?

Ngl, while working on some of these snippets (and writing the fic on and off the past few months), I’m tempted to make an ask blog for Mr. Puzzles just so I can dump Mr. Puzzles-centric related responses for the fun of it, in order to write him more often (though likely a mix or 1st and 3rd) and maybe sketchy doodles, as I like (tormenting) him because he’s a bastard (affectionate).

But I will be posting that angst snippet tonight, and a silly one to be its opposite either tonight as well, or in the morning.

One thing about a Writing Mobster fic — the beginning is gonna take its time.

Yes, hole is funny. But it is what it is and it’s an eventual death pit. And to me that is funnier.

is anyone else a dialogue before descriptions writer? dialogue never comes as easy to me, i feel like i spend so much time trying to nail peoples voices

…. Also been loving writing this chapter of tanks of blood… feel like it’ll have a little something of everything

I know it is technically war paint, but what if Teldryn had face tattoos? Ngl, that is so hot?! I'm making that canon in my current fic. And you won't be able to stop me.

I know word count has nothing to do with quality but damn looking at some beasts of fanfiction like @aliasrocket for Rocket Raccoon x Reader like 16000 words for one chapter has me both intimidated and impressed.

Canon is my Weird Barbie and unfortunately for her I have a new set of scissors

"porn without plot" this and "plot without porn" that what if there is only plot but the porn is the framing device and you open with an handjob and never mention it again

I think the biggest appeal of enemies-to-lovers is that it forces the leads to learn to like each other before they feel attraction to one another. Which is possibly the most demisexual approach I could take to reading romance

SOMETHING I JUST LEARNED FROM RESEARCH FOR A FIC:

The term "teddy bear" became commonly used in the early 20th century, specifically after the 1902 incident involving U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. During a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi, Roosevelt reportedly refused to shoot a bear that had been captured and tied to a tree as a trophy. This incident was popularized by a political cartoon that depicted the event, and the story spread widely in the media. Subsequently, a Brooklyn candy shop owner named Morris Michtom created a stuffed bear toy and named it "Teddy's Bear" in honor of Roosevelt. The toy became wildly popular, leading to the term "teddy bear" entering common usage to describe such toys

-Summarized by ChatGPT

Plus, Roosevelt did not like the nickname Teddy! So interesting!!!!

OMG this is all so funny and fascinating to me!!!! Sorry, I just had to share for anybody that cares.

AU idea: PV never regains memories, ancients don't reunite and the beasts are freed. Soul jam's powers are weak so SMilk aims to forcefully make PV remember and takes him to the spire (Little does SM know he'll get attached to this little compassionate Healer)

More details about this AU (currently called Slumbering Truth AU): Basically it starts off with Smilk being terrible and basically doing what he was doing in the 8th episode, trying to make PV remember and playing with his mind for his entertainment. He knows who PV used to be but PV knows nothing about him or his own past. He's confused as to why would this powerful cookie need him but decides to submit in exchange for the village being safe.

At first Healer is uncomfortable and nervous but gradually despite Smilk's intimidating look decides to play along his games and get to know him better. Smilk is surprised by the other's behavior (and unexpected wits and trickery) and what started with the urge to break PV down slowly became an urge to keep the other close since the other's intentions to know him were genuine and comforting and SMilk hated the thought of losing that (not that he'd admit that. he needs that Healer to see him suffer, right?).

Now he doesn't want Healer to remember, he doesn't snap at that cookie as much, he wants him to stay in this blissful lie because if PV knew the truth then he'd definitely leave Smilk and lock him again. If Healer knew the truth he'd turn against him instantly, Smilk was sure. For the first time in a long time, Smilk felt like he found someone to who he was connected and he wasn't going to let anything ruin that.

(It's a wip so I might change some stuff along the way)

Writing TMDG is a constant battle between writing in past tense and suddenly switching to present tense like STOP IT!!! CHOOSE ONE!! IT'S EITHER WAS OR IS YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH, BITCH (whhhyyyy naauuuut WHY CANT I USE BOTH TENSES!?!? PRESENT TENSE WORKS SO WELL TO BUILD SUSPENSE!!!)
