fuck thunderstorms making it harder to tell when someone's walking to our room

We could get Eric and Luke as vampires, if Daniel through magic ends up in his younger body, instead of David getting a new one. Same-ish plot, different character, slightly different outcome. But that could happen. When Gabrielle was turned she also got 'younger' looking. Her wrinkles disappeared, her boobs unsagged, her skin tightened etc. So that could also happen to Daniel, where he will slowly morph back into Luke. There are ways I guess.

Gabrielle didn't de-age, and I personally would hate the message behind that.

So a pass from me there, though I would love to see Luke as vampire. But not in this story setup.

I think that would be a terrible message. And the vampires never cared much about age. The humans were always beautiful to them.

And I don't think the "Tale of the Body Thief" story would work here either, there's already too much going on for Daniel, and they're too close to the books tbh.

And... I really want Eric to get his wish :))) (and, personally, I think that's the only reason he took the part, lol, but we'll see^^^^)

UNSAGE UNSAFE UNSAFE UNSAFE UNSAFE

[cassandra-the-wonder-whore]

I don't have anywhere to vent but here anymore, I left the only servers I was accepted in because of how fucked up I am.

Literally creating a worse and more unsage environment for myself. It's like I'm trying to trick myself into needing to commit suicide.......

I agree with the anon saying Lolcow is either one person talking to themselves or it's just 2-3 people talking to each other. They've been trying to regain attention to the thread for a while now, posting unsaged messages to bump the thread to the top of the board, basically any time it falls off the first page they bump it again. Probably why they showed their hand RE: tracking Jared's Discord, they're desperate for "milk" to talk about now, so they brought up something they did back in August.

This would not surprise me if it turned out to be true. :|

"In Gamma." was all she was allowed to reply with. It was like her brain wouldn't unfuzz the specifics, like her tongue swelled up so full in her mouth whenever she even tried. So. She gave it plainly. She went to chew her lip now, and as it tugged inside her mouth, a series of goosebumps filled over her, making her let it go and unsag.

Borrowed Time // Open

Finn at least knew about the fog shit this year, but nothing could have prepared him for what it was gonna do to him! He woke up in a nightmarishly vast bed, no taller than his normal palm length, having to find a way down. After sliding down his duvet he crossed over the edge of his bed he then had to trudge theough his carpet. It feel like fighting through a light pink feild of brush allbthe way across the room to his close. When he gets there at least tiny clothes were waiting for him, that could have been much worse. He feel vibrations growing stronger under his feet and the unmistakable yet strangely cutting tingle of Tank's ID tags.

He puts a hand out to the dog for sniffs and for a second he fears getting sucked up but never feared being hurt by his best buddy. "Hey boy," he pets the top of his nose as Tank lays down infront of him, resting his head on his pars. "its time to go out isn't he asks and sees his floppy ears perked up.

It takes a lot of trial and error, and one falling off on the stairs on the way down, but they were finally outside in the quad! Finn was sat up on Tank's back, holding tight to his collar, harnessed in with a rubber band and they wandered the quad. It was pretty peaceful and Fjnn was feeling like i really had this whole tiging figured out, u t someone's figure appeared from the fog, and Tank starts to charge at them

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 12 15, 17, 20 from the deep writer asks <3

1. what's the fic youre most proud of?

hmm, right now? might be "the price of growth", it went through a lot of iterations, and i'm really satisfied with the end result! the entire fugo zine was such a nice and pleasant experience, i think i gained a lot from it <3

2. what's a fic that took you to an emotional/dark/hard place?

"a brand new doomsday" is a fairly old fic by now, but it was a very mentally exhausting process to write that one. i needed to dissect my own relationship with grief pretty thoroughly, which is why it remains probably my rawest fic (even though i'm not that proud of it anymore). more recently probably "if not in this life then maybe in the next", although i would rather phrase it as me writing it as a result of being in a dark place emotionally. same with "the eyes deceive". there's a lot of unspoken parts of myself in those ones haha.

3. what fic are you emotionally attached to?

oh, all of them! but if i had to pick just one, it would probably be "the eyes deceive". like i just mentioned, i wrote that after the hardest winter of my life, and it can be seen on a lot of its aspects. ofc it's still a fanfiction, not a vent post, but let's just say bruno's "i want to escape from this body... or at least make it my own" came from. a Place

6. what's the hardest part of the writing process for you?

editing hell. i've become pretty proficient at banging out loose first, second and third drafts, but the process of making it consistent and flow well is always a lot of painful and hard work >_< i need to somehow improve myself when it comes to this, because right now, the aspect of having to edit anything over 10k just feels... literally impossible haha.

9. what's your writing process like?

that’s a difficult question to answer. it really depends on various things, such as my mental state, how much time i have, etc... but if i had to simplify and generalize it as much as possible:

get the idea for a fic

write a loose draft of what i want it to contain, maybe some scene fragments or pieces of dialogue that appeared in my head

sleep on it, sit down to refine it, continously adding new details. minimizing the research at this stage, as well as looking for the perfect synonyms. that can come at the editing phase

connect the standalone scenes one way or another. finish draft,

enter editing hell. put on a three-hour piano/post-rock/lofi hip-hop/whatever helps me focus in that moment. suffer. take breaks.

once finished, bask in the euphoria then sleep on it.

proofread it one last time then if i decide to post it, forward it to my beta and then post it to ao3. experience the greatest high of life.

idk if this is useful for anyone sgdshdg if you have any specific questions about my writing process then idk. shoot

10. how has writing positively impacted your mental health or overall mood?

oh, it’s a great outlet for various things! it helps me to express things i struggled expressing, gives me a place to put the emotions that are difficult to deal with. in other words, it’s cathartic, even if i don’t end up posting it. and most of all, it’s connecting with people. knowing that people read my fics and get something out of it, be that a smile or perhaps even a tear, it’s unimaginable and insanely flattering, not to mention getting comments or fanart! it really made me feel like i left some sort of mark on the fandom and in this world, as sappy as it sounds.

12. What’s your perfect environment to create/write?

hmm i can write basically anywhere tbh. but i do really like having a hot drink nearby at all times!

15. How do you think your writing as improved over time?

hard to say! but i think my unsage of the language improves with every piece i write. i think i particularly improved a lot when it comes to descriptive text and metaphors, i used to be shy with those. and i think i’m better with pacing lately too, although that part is always difficult to estimate!

17. What’s the best engagement/interaction/feedback you’ve received from someone who’s read your work?

WHEW how could i mention just one. receiving fanart blows my mind every time, it’s like, you mean the words i wrote, projected an image into your head??? AND you drew it?? it’s bonkers!! same with people writing comments, i don’t get a lot of them (i doubt any writer my scale does), but i save all of them and occasionally reread them when i need a little pick-me-up <3 but the most memorable interactions i possibly had is when one time i would mention a fic of mine on twitter, and people would go “YOU WROTE THAT??”. it really made me feel like i have reached the people i wanted to reach, and that is such a precious feeling!

20. What’s the greatest gift you’ve gotten from your writing?

believe it or not, i can actually feel my writing abilities paying off whenever i’m writing assignments for school LOL. i just do the same thing as i would do with a fic, first i bang out the draft, and then continously refine it... i’m grateful for all the experience i accumulated thanks to writing, it really helps me out in these cases! but most of all, like i mentioned before, it’s the connection that i establish with it, with my friends and everyone who reads my fics. it’s a teeny-tiny community of its own! posting my fics online and having people read them makes me feel heard and understood, and most of all, accepted. sappy again i know, but i wasn’t always given these things during some of my life stages! but it was good to learn that those never last, and ultimately, all of us deserve to make their voice heard etc. cheese cheese cheese

So as I mentioned in a previous post, Steve the bathroom spider is still living his best life because I have been too busy to ummm change his circumstances. Despite being just not a fan of spiders in the house.  (Thanks @benny-lynne for giving a name to the tiny nightmare dwelling in my bathroom.  Steve.)  I posted about Steve as social media is also a huge fear of mine and I thought, hey, that sounds like fun, let’s have two gigantic close to phobias meet and see how that goes.  But my point (and I do have one) is:

Part of the reason I have been too busy to deal with the Steve situation is....tumblr.  I am trying to get a handle on this.  How on earth do people keep up with all the posts?  This is not a rhetorical question, I am looking for help here!  Tumblr says 99+ posts to me all the time, and wow, that + is enormous!  I don’t even necessarily read all of them but just scrolling through!!!  Takes forever!!!  An enjoyable forever to be sure, but I mean really.  I haven’t even been here two months yet.  I am positive I have many more questions about this, I just don’t know what they are yet.

Sage or unsage advice is welcome!

Cleetus and The Jellicles

Tugger: 

What could Tugger say about Cleetus? He is gorgeous. An absolute specimen, always tidies up when he comes over while following Bomba around. Tugger always begs her to let him have him for a few hours and she always declines. He spends hours by the side of the immaculate pool, admiring Cleetus from afar while he works. The best thing is his muscles seem to always be visible wherever he is working when Tugger needs a quick look. 

 EXCEPT CLEETUS WON"T EVEN LOOK HIS WAY! He is beside himself, every trick in the book doesn't get a single thing out of the hunk. Not even a moment alone! This must be his punishment for his philandering, he could weep, the Everlasting Cat is cruel. 

 Then he gets his moment. He's crying outside his den when footsteps shake the earth. He looks up to see a big man, offering him a beverage, without a Bomba insight. His tongue is a bit dumb with tears and nothing smooth can come out. Cleetus gives him a grunt and pats him on the back. Tugger tries to unsag his shoulders and look at his prime. Cleetus fluffs his hair and begins rubbing his shoulders, making the muscles melt. Tugger must've blinked for a few second and then Cleetus was gone like a ghost, off to his next task. He was awestruck, that man is amazing.  

(In summary: Why Tugger Has Not Washed His Mane or Shoulders In a Week)
