#we’re writing that’s what matters

[corpsentry]

it’s so funny to me when people make posts that are like i hate it when fandom mischaracterizes my favorite blorbo/fandom needs to stop reading the story this way/fandom reduces my blorbo to xyz trait when they actually contain multitudes bc they clearly have things they like and care about re: the topic but instead of simply sharing their thoughts they have to preface their joy with this kicking at the table leg bit that emphasizes how correct their opinion is and how everyone else is Lame and also Wrong like mein gotte it’s barbie dolls on some 35 year old who works in software engineering’s macbook you have contributed nothing to society by telling jessica from ohio software engineer to deepen their understanding of sakusa kiyoomi haikyuu. ‘fandom always ignores/forgets that’ ok and? your problem is? ? ? maybe people are happy writing chilfuck as a babygirl or marcille as something other than a girlfailure in which case good for them!! it sparks joy yahhhh!!! i’ve blocked enough people on twitter to mostly be at peace these days but tumblr is Not Safe everywhere i go on my dash there are these weirdos who think everyone else is doing fandom wrong. you silly man. you absolute buffoon. you mysterious moralist

like listen i am the most literaturepilled mf out here so i think i’m entitled to yap about this i like my characters fucked up and bizarre and quadruple-faced and so only read very particular fics but maine gotte i will not complain about it publicly because that’s my business! other people are here for other things. escapism. joy. Oviposition. and that’s great because life’s boring when it’s just you and 10 other guys like you. i’m telling you morally outraged random 18 y/o the oviposition guy is the key to the universe and i’m Old and Tired now so every time someone puts that ‘marcille is more than a genius and people need to stop writing her like awooga booga whatever the fuck’ shit on my dash they’re catching that block like a fist flying out of a can of tuna oh yeah i’m closing my eyes i do not see your dumb ahh shit i go to bed

Will keep my commitments I’ve agreed to through the year but I’m gonna dip semi-permanently and see how it goes. my final writing that will be posted here will be the kinktober piece.

This isn't sustainable for me, not good for me, and honestly, there’s little point in sharing my writing here anymore. no one even cares to reblog and if likes are all that happens, why bother. I get more meaningful engagement from AO3 comments and things just get lost here.

maybe i’ll change my tune again one day and find peace in just posting but all I see is endless consumption despite my own efforts. I do not have the bandwidth for fighting against it right now.

all I’m doing is hurting myself and giving very important parts of myself, creatively and otherwise, to a place that doesn’t deserve them.

Hiiiiii, I really hope you’re doing well and that things have been going good for you 💜 I was wondering if we could get a sneak peek of any Neon Glory or that TSBK fic you’ve been working on 💜💜 I adore youuuu and your fic btw 😊😊

things have been alright, super swamped with work and life 🥹

but i’m slowly but surely working on the next chapter of neon glory. it’s gonna be Eijirou’s backstory, and we get this Big Moment right here:

My favourite detail in OOTP is when Harry finds Sirius at the dining hall Crookshanks is curled up in his lap. Like he’s surrounded by people screaming at him about “Dumbledore’s instructions”, not allowed to go outside cause the ministry and Death Eaters are gunning for him, he’s being called irresponsible and reckless and he’s brushing it all aside cause boy does he know how to deal with people screaming at him in this house, any regardless: he’s still got Crookshanks. He’s got Buckbeak and they remain Sirius’ first and last line of defence

Harry felt something brush against his knees and started, but it was only Crookshanks, Hermione’s bandy-legged ginger cat, who wound himself once around Harry’s legs, purring, then jumped onto Sirius’s lap and curled up. Sirius scratched him absentmindedly behind the ears as he turned, still grim-faced, to Harry.

Harry did not mention his vague suspicions to Sirius, whose cheerfulness was evaporating fast now that Christmas was over. As the date of their departure back to Hogwarts drew nearer, he became more and more prone to what Mrs. Weasley called “fits of the sullens,” in which he would become taciturn and grumpy, often withdrawing to Buckbeak’s room for hours at a time. His gloom seeped through the house, oozing under doorways like some noxious gas, so that all of them became infected by it.

The D-Day finale was the epitome of love in all its finest forms.

To see Yoongi go out on that stage, from every growl to soothing melody, to give his best until his voice ran hoarse, that’s love.

To see Hoseok and Seokjin in the crowd, waving their army bombs and choosing to spend their day off with their brother and with us, that’s love.

To have Yoongi give us stickers and thumbs up, for the crowd to give their everything to him, from the fan chants to the signs, that’s love.

To watch Namjoon come up on stage and perform with Yoongi, the one he’s been with forever, that’s love.

To witness Namjoon performing the most beautiful song, one that he’s worked so hard on, and for him to share it with us first, that’s love.

To watch Yoongi shed tears and be so openly vulnerable while performing, for him to show his pain so openly and ask for our voices to help him, that’s love.

To see him thank June, Adora, Yi-jeong, and all his other team members for helping him along the way, for putting on such a great show for us, that’s love.

To finally get to see Yoongi’s tattoo, one he chose to put on his injured shoulder, and to witness him walk through the door at the end, to know that he’s healing and so are we, that’s love.

I hope Yoongi knows that we love him and Bangtan in every way possible, because they’ve shown us enough love to last seven lifetimes 💜

Something that bugs me about a lot of writing advice is the assumption that writing is linear and therefore a writer’s skill will improve and improve and improve.

This is not true.

There are days when the words don’t come, when the “great writing tip” that saved a previous work becomes claustrophobic in a current work, when everything seems more difficult than it used to even though nothing on the outside has changed.

Yes, some of this is higher expectations as we improve or try more ambitious works.

And some of it is just being a writer who, like everyone else, has good days and bad days.

It’s okay.

Writing is an art.

And art isn’t linear.

BE HONEST, should i go back to my roots and start writing angsty one-shot song fics where everyone dies and/or is miserable? my 13-year-old self knew what she liked and had no shame lmaooo.

[mushed-kid]

i don’t think i can ever be really close to anyone

[novelconcepts]

artist life is fun, cuz it’s just regularly asking yourself is there any value whatsoever in what I’m doing/making?

and then just kinda shrugging and carrying on doing it regardless of the answer

[dreamingthroughwords]

every time i feel too harsh on myself or my writing - thinking oh, my ideas aren’t that complex, oh this and that - i remember that i haven’t written for a year, writing is a skill that continuously improves, and it will all come back eventually. it sucks when something comes and tears you from the thing you love, but it will be there when you return, and for me that’s writing. what matters is that i’m doing at at all, that i’m putting pen to paper and i’m getting myself back to where i want to be. and that’s okay!

What if instead of finishing all my WIPS that I’m hoping to have out by the end of the year I started writing another Drabble about the fallout of a collapsing relationship and infidelity. Hm. What if 🤔 💭 ✍️

I really want to send my original story that the first step of Kitsugi became my writing muse for, but since i submitted it as part of the competition I cannot put it up anywhere on the internet in the small chance that I might get flagged for copyright infringment for my own story

OOF, yeah, that’s a very rough hand of it. I’ve seen those posts where it’s like, people getting dragged in for plagiarizing their own work. Like getting dragged into an office about the work they stole and then the work pulled up is just stuff they put on the internet. But you should know that the mere act of writing something and making it real from your head is creation and that basically makes you god so congrats on being god and be very proud of yourself
