You ever write some shit where you're like 'oh yeah I'm totally just describing what this guy is doing in his free time nothing else im just setting the scene it's unnecessarily detailed for no particular reason' and then realize you are in fact just info dumping about some shit you are interested in actually

#writing about ed edgar raising ball pythons in absurd detail in a story that is absolutely not about that bc i personally love snakes <3 #down to like the specific morph of the snake and how it stays with it's siblings until after it's first shed #as if that has anything to do with anything else that's about to happen after his snake time gets interrupted by the actual plot lmao #also it is a cut over to Ed's perspective after what is just about the most intense scene in this little oneshot I'm writing #which makes it much funnier bc of the sudden change in tone #i mean that was the point. the tone contrast was very much on purpose. but it ended up a lot more intense than i expected lol #anyways I'm coping with no wifi by spending all my time writing some incredibly specific bs when i should be working on inheritance lmao #look sometimes you're running on nothing but five hours of sleep and blorbo thoughts #and you end up spending a day writing 3000 words of an incredibly specific scenario in which said blorbo gets the shit kicked out of them #and then you end the day writing a bit about his friend peacefully raising snakes and listening to cowboy music in the meantime #atlas speaks #side note. the fact that these stupid little personal posts keep ending up on my main is a testament to the power of this fandom #bc this is the type of thing that absolutely would've been quarentine to my personal blog where no one would've seen it a few months ago #so that's kind of cool
