Felt a bit nostalgic watching RT shut down…Here are the og faves again for old times sake 💙
#rvb#agent washington#agent Carolina#lavernius tucker#michael j caboose#epsilon#my art rvb#ahhh a lot of feelings…of course I stepped away from rt as a company a long time ago#but RvB is special to me!! it was my first fandom experience ever#and the community here on tumblr specifically was so instrumental to me growing up#I really could not have asked for a better community of artists and writers to grow up in. I know it sounds like platitudes when I say#that everyone was super nice and talented but REALLY. People were so kind to me and somehow I became well known despite#my art and writing and me in general still being immature and hashtag cringe#I found my creative legs and#people would respond to my stuff with walls and walls of support in the tags and we would do exchanges and events every year#I made my first lyric comic and it’s still doing extremely well on YouTube even today!! my dad who passed away recently always loved it#and my favorite RvB writer came out of hibernation to write me a bunch of text wall asks about it#I’ve never had another fandom experience quite like RvB#I still keep in touch with many of my friends from that time period even though we’ve all moved on the other things#these guys will always always have a place in my heart#so long reds and blues….

I combined footage from my Detektiv Conan Blu-ray with audio from my Case Closed FUNimation DVD and made an HD English dub clip compilation for Episodes 57-58, "The Holmes Freak Murder Case."
#detective conan#case closed#video#funimation english dub script#i wasn't actually gonna post this video to tumblr because it's so long (because i have a lot of feelings about this case!)#but folks on discord liked it and i'm all about my funi dub propaganda so why not right?#the dub script here is just so fun--and does so well at making the dialogue *work* and sound natural in english#and has so much flavor! it does arguably too much in terms of creative liberties but things like#'can i really trust what a kid saw?' of the sub translation compared to 'and what were you smoking before you ran out there?' in the dub#are much more enjoyable to me#(other fun phrasings: 'the one who's always hangin' around you guys' (sub) vs. 'the little-bitty one with the great big brain!' (dub))#(and 'of course not! the reason i applied for this tour was 'cuz i thought i might find kudo' (sub))#(vs. 'who me? no no no. actually i signed up because i was hoping to run into jimmy here. but i guess i'm out of luck' (dub))#(and so many more! this script just has so much character)#and while it is a shame that the dub eliminated heiji's accent i do like the changed line ('i know it's you!')#'cause you've met shinichi *once* heiji lol#but yeah this is a fun case! i'm really happy to have finally hd'd the funi dub for it :')#one of my favorite things about the funi dub is that jerry jewell (shinichi's va) voices conan's thoughts#and it's so nice to hear *shinichi* and heiji deducting together (and the way they finish each other's thoughts and vibe... it gets to me)

i think something that people miss about the "you should be reblogging creative work, not just liking it" stuff is that so many people who arent making these creative works are so in the mindset of QUANTITY of notes over QUALITY of notes.
maybe this is in part because of other social media (like instagram, twitter, and youtube) where the creator is rewarded based on the quantity of likes, but y'all have to understand that us tumblr creators, for the most part, do not care about the quantity of notes. yes, it's nice to know that 700 people liked a gifset we made! but it's disheartening to see that only, like, 5 people reblogged it onto their blog so other people could see it and enjoy it too. part of tumblr as a SOCIAL media is that we are meant to interact with each other here, and if you only like stuff, you're limiting the social aspect of a wide platform of users.
fic writers want to see your comments about how they wrote that one scene. fanartists want you to get excited about the way they draw your favorite characters. gifsets like what we have here on tumblr don't exist like this anywhere else. why don't you want to show these creators off to your friends and followers? don't you want to show off how cool these creations and their creators are?
reblog from us now so you're not begging for us to come back to you later.
#kai.txt#ive been thinking about this post since like yesterday#of course theres also the conversation about stealing gifs but thats not what this post is about#i always see non creators be like “well you're getting interaction anyway doesnt that make you happy”#and its like. not really. i dont care about the QUANTITY of interaction i get!!!! i care about the QUALITY of it#i care about seeing people reblog my stuff and using their tagging systems and @'ing their friends in the tags and yelling at me for angst#i dont get that kind of stuff from likes yknow what i mean?#likes are a very one dimensional form of interaction on tumblr and its annoying knowing that people could interact another way#but refuse to because “it doesn't matter”. it DOES matter to us creatives#because what's the point of sharing our work if no one else wants to share it too? like what's the fucking point!!!!!

Writing Prompts when you have writers block
So I don’t USUALLY do this, but since Tumblr’s writer-friendly, I thought I’d share some writing prompts I got from my Creative Writing class in college last semester! My professor would give us a handful of prompts and tell us to pick one for every assignment and I wanna give them to you all!
Write a list story: either someone teaching someone else how to do something/how to be someone/something (ex: how to act like a proper lady). Alternatively it could be a character listing aspirations, milestones, or losses/gains. Anything where your character is going through something
Going off on that list story idea, you could also write a response list story from the POV of the “you” from the first one. For example: say you wrote a story of a parent speaking to a child, the response would be a child speaking to a parent
Write a story where one character is closely observing/spying another character. What do they discover about either the other character or themselves in the process?
Dunno if any of you read the story “Hills like White Elephants” but write a story told mostly through dialogue and setting. Two character discussing something they don’t agree on. Whether or not a solution is reached is up to you
Here’s a funny idea: A story about a ghost/demon possessing somebody but it hilariously backfires cuz the mortal is either really stupid or really stubborn and they have this back-and-forth of what happens next. You know that one vine where it’s like
“What do you want to eat?”
“The souls of the innocent~”
“A bagel :)”
“NO!”
“….Two bagels”
Write the story version of that
Write a story where an object causes/is related to a major tension in your story or holds a major clue to the tension
Your character makes a decision and has to live with the consequences/learns a lesson
Write a story where an unexpected guest shows up and stays overnight. How does it go? Start by saying who’s coming, offer backfill to explain the background regarding the tension, then what happens when the guest arrives. How the story progresses, ends, and whether something changes is up to you!
Write a character where your main character is dealing with an external AND internal conflict. Something in their environment, community, or society is pushing them to experience stress. What’s the tipping point and how does the character deal with it
For example, a snake character experiencing racism from humans/animals just because of their species
Write a story loosely based on a true crime story. Any crime, doesn’t even have to be murder. You could even search a crime up on the internet and make a story inspired on that. Use a few details from that crime article to create a scene of action of the crime taking place, but also develop the motive and backstory. What drove the person to do what they did? Peer pressure? Greed? Abuse? Survival? Sheer stupidity? Etc
Write a story from the perspective of a ghost. Who’s the ghost haunting? Why? How’d they die? Is the ghost friendly or malevolent?
#of course these are all ideas#all of these are closed-ended plot-wise but also good enough to put your own spin on it#fun fact my first full fledge tlg fics came from these prompts#made a list story with my oc danganya and wrote sumu’s backstory with the conflict one#any quuestions lemme know!/gen#creative writing#writing#writers on tumblr#writeblr

I need to do a research paper on the correlation between me taking a chemistry class and me drawing Finn being sad
#the r squared is close to 1 which means nearly 100% of the variation in y is explained by x#one benefit of being a creative person in a stem major#is that I can use that experience to shape my ocs#like both Liam and Finn are stem majors which makes it super easy to write their College Experience™️#of course beyond the fact their College Experience™️ was shaped by them both going missing#and one of them dying and the other one coming back a demigod#but like average stem major experience am I right#I am going to make Finn an Aquatic and Fisheries Science™️ major so I can write fan fic about him visiting my advisor#yeah but also school has kinda lowkey makes me too tired to draw and when I do I’m not happy with the result?? idk I love-hate this one#idk if I need to explain lore with this one I feel as if the context is there?#my art#digital art#procreate#artists on tumblr#digital illustration#illustration#original art#my ocs#doodle#art#drawing#original character#original character art#oc art#oc artwork#oc art tag#digital drawing#ocs#oc artist#oc drawing

This must be my shortest comeback ever as a fanfic writer
Fist episode of a show I've waited "years" for finally aired yesterday. Episode one was great and let me tell you it gave me inspiration and motivation to write. I was so excited, buzzing with energy and bursting with ideas. This thing darn broke me out of my writing hiatus is the shortest time ever😃🙌
Until...😒 I jotted down a few lines for each of the three ideas in my head. By few lines I mean maybe 4 each but just that alone I felt like my sanity was exiting my body. 45 minutes later, I'm back on hiatus😅 yep that's the writing we all love. The mood is one fickle b***h. Until next time when the mood strikes again on 29th February🙄✌️
#*sighs* gotta love writing#writing is like you sleep for too long on your left side and the mood for it leaves you#I can't anymore#I can. Of course I can. the fuck am I gonna do if I don't write?#damn it I hate it#I love it#ao3 writer#fanfiction#writing#writer problems#fanfiction writing#writer life#writer woes#writing community#writing struggles#writers on tumblr#writblr#writing stuff#writers and poets#writing motivation#writing inspiration#on writing#writing things#writing process#creative writing

I've recently moved from the city to the country with my family and want to write a memoirs based on my experiences with nature. Do you have any tips on nature writing? I don't want to write fiction, but i'm not sure how to make non-fiction interesting.
We've actually got a great series of resources in the Reading Room on all types of non-fiction writing, created for us by a commissioning editor from Penguin Random House! Here's the one specifically on nature writing:
The entire series is well worth reading, and she also created a completely free non-fiction book proposal course for us too, which will teach you what a book proposal needs to include for you to best pitch to publishers.

The hero coughs into the dust saturating the air. This is wrong.
The old warehouse, it’s– it’s gone. Crumpled in on itself like a can that’s been stamped on one too many times. It’s all wrong. It’s all too familiar.
A warehouse went down last month in the fallout of a fight. Someone had been inside. No matter how much he hated the villain, she didn’t deserve to die like that. The hero still has nightmares about it; it haunts him.
But this. It’s like he’s standing outside that warehouse again, watching the aftermath of one wrong hit—watching the one person who gave him purpose disappear into debris.
This was recent. The dust is scratching at the hero’s throat. He coughs again, the air visibly wavering in front of his face.
“It brings back fond memories, doesn’t it?”
The hero flinches, not convinced he heard who he thinks he did. The villain’s voice has been in his head since then anyway. Telling him of everything he did wrong. This is just one of those horrible moments of weakness.
“I must say, you made a valiant attempt to erase me from the face of this earth.” There’s an echoing click of heels against concrete. The hero’s heart stops. “Doesn’t this remind you of that moment when you failed?”
“I’m�� I’m so sorry—” He chokes on the words desperately. An apathetic hum rings in his ears.
“Ah, you’re sorry!” the villain coos softly. “Sorry for what? For trying, or for failing?”
There’s a shadow sauntering through the dust towards him like a ghost, the hero’s face paling as she steps through the fog. The villain throws him a cat-like grin that turns his insides cold.
“Oh, you poor darling,” she says with false softness. “It’ll take a little more than that to stop me.”
#creative writing#writblr#writers on tumblr#writing#writing community#heroes and villains#hero x villain#so the writing insta is up and runningggggg#got some followers got some likes!! incredible work straight out the gate#does this mean agents will pick up my book? of course not#does it mean i can bully them into it because hundreds of people are expecting to read this book? probably also not#will it stop me from trying? lol no

Starting My Journey Into Occultism and Building My Grimoire 🌙📖
So, I’m diving headfirst into occultism philosophy—taking this journey seriously—and yep, I’m in the middle of building my own grimoire.
We’re talking hermetic principles, tarot symbolism, alchemical rituals—the real juicy occult stuff.
As I dig into esoteric teachings, practice rituals, and write down my thoughts in Tarot Symbols and Alchemical Journals, this grimoire is gonna be my very own living mystical document. It’ll hold my research, spellwork, tarot interpretations, and all the weird, wild realizations that come with diving into ancient symbols and unlocking those meanings.
I’ll be sharing some of the mess and magic as I go, so if occult philosophy or building your own grimoire has been calling you—stick around.
I’m in for a wild ride. ✨

Ditches and Spiders
God, his forearms ITCHED. Ugh – they sang a horrible siren song, to which the only answer was the raking of claws, the bloody contact of skin and nails. Or whatever. He clenched his fists, twisting them, rolling his wrists, and watching the taut, lean, yet somewhat gaunt muscle flexing under his scarred skin. Calixte hated the scars so, so much. They weren’t ugly, contorting, or shredding, and they weren’t spirals of thorns or carved spines. They were “beautiful”, twisting, mending – spirals of petals and curving stems. Calixte always hated the mix of lily flowers curling up his arms in a monotone white of scar tissue. They made him sick. His entire lunch – half of a white chocolate granola bar – tickled the very top of his throat, acidically ghosting over the roof of his mouth. He ought to practice Magic again.
He applied the Sepal Balsam. Almost half the container coated his forearms thickly, massively surmounting the blood below it. Was that... wait... quadruple- no, pentuple the recommended dose? Perhaps that was why he could feel his pain fade into such intense numbness so quickly that in mere seconds he could not feel his forearms at all – and could, in real-time, watch the open wounds, cuts, gashes, and lacerations riddling his forearms and climbing up his bicep close, and twist at themselves, forming sickeningly intricate floral shapes, layering onto those already there. What a disgusting toll he has to pay, really. And, sure, he could always not push himself so much or just wait for himself to heal, but how would he get better, then? The best around don’t just rest. No pain, no gain, after all! He just has to push himself a little harder, surely...!
The gloves contracted around his arms. They squeezed and cried at the Magic pouring into them, pushing and lashing at his flesh. The gloves wrung his arms, and blood dripped out from their hems at his biceps. All for... him.
The bouquet strained in his arms. The paper tore open at the pressure pushed into it, flowers spilling around his flesh. Ditch and spider lilies both wrapped around his forearms, slipping from his embrace one by one. All from... him.
“Are you proud, dad?”
#daddy issues#and self-destructive tendencies#of course#my bestie once told me that this OC seemed a lot like my type#but they're actually the closest to a self-insert out of any of them#what does that say about me actually#am I my own type#narcissus who?#anyway uh#fantasy drugs#these are (one of) the drugs made from raw Hexstarved flesh and blood. and are very illegal!#anyway!#those flowers don't have an intense emotional siginificance to me no why would you think that#anyway I wrote this up in like an hour in total#so it's not too good#but I'm pretty proud of it#got out of my writing slump with a real bang#two pieces back to back ehehe#writing#writers on tumblr#fiction#prose#creative fiction#creative writing#fantasy#urban fantasy#fantasy fiction#trauma#calixte my sweet little child#signed; fa

Question:
How do y'all "write something for yourself" that you intend on posting?
Cause I still subconsciously can't "write for myself" unless I don't intend on ever posting it, and then I can only get 100 words or less out onto a Google doc.
Idk if this is a byproduct of taking too many writing classes and writing for assignments or other people or not.
How do I fix this?
#galaxy rambles#ive been trying to fix this for a while#i want to write for self indulgence but i dont think i know *how to* anymore-#but i cant seem to get my subconscious out of that “perfectionist writing class” mindset#how do I fix my subconscious so it stops saying “oh yeah you have to make sure your writing is this this this and this”#and just lets me write the dang thing?#i think all the writing courses i took subconsciously trained me to take the focus off what i want to happen#and placed it on what i think SHOULD happen instead#thats the best way i can describe it#writer problems#im at a loss#writing#writing questions#fanfiction#writing stuff#writers on tumblr#writers#creative writing
