For @darlingian's lovely prompt: "Ian Gallagher tries so hard. He gets back up and keeps going even when things don't seem like they'll ever be okay. He's so loved, and so good." When Lip struggles a bit, Ian tries to avoid self-sabotaging in order to struggle alongside him.

Can the anon who told me that they knew someone involved in the game development of Puzzle Tales please reach out and let me know what the FUCK happened??

For those who don't play: the game is being shut down completely and deleted on Dec 13th. They gave less than a month's warning.

It's weird and sudden, since there was still unfinished new content they had planned to release. Rumor on the streets is Netflix is doing massive layoffs before the holidays.

one of the fun things about 2003 stockman is that his character arc is a constant game of going "oh wow he's really reached a new low point here huh" and then he pulls out a shovel and proceeds to start digging

Thinking about dream-baby (I really can't keep calling him dream-baby) to distract me from the frankly horrific nightmare :)

Laughs with his whole tiny body and slumps into me to hide his giggles.

The little pout he does when he can't see something from where he is... curious tiny creachur...

Big blue-grey eyes that invite kisses to his brows.

Liddol giggles when he gets his kisses.

there isn't any universe that I wouldn’t name him after my brother <3 I love and miss you, JT.

What inspires you to write? And how do you deal with a writer's block?

hi love <3

i think the little things inspire me to write? a product of my daydream, a little sth that catches my attention like a song lyric, a concept photo or a quote. i'm really inspired by kdramas or movies that i watch, or the books that i (used to) read.

as of lately, i'm more into the whole worldbuilding and the plot aspects of writing- that's where i start, and then i fit/shape the member i write for accordingly. the members are just characters in the fic, the world and the setting that i create for them is the primary focus. that mainly inspires/drives me to write.

as for writer's block, when i feel it coming, i try to find the source of it and deal with that directly. sometimes, real life is overwhelming us (real life is always overwhelming me and i actually write to cope so if even writing starts to overwhelm me... i'll have nothing left LOL).

sometimes, it's bc we just need a little break to sort our thoughts out. it's okay to not always actively write and post. i take a little congratulatory break after each fic posted where i just watch sth or read stuff or rot. it works really good bc i actually want to write when the break is over. in case i'm obsessed with an idea i just have to write, i try to do planning instead of actually writing. (and i think in the long run its better to have these little breaks instead of a big writer's block break, but sometimes we do need the big break :') don't be scared of it)

also, i think it's really imp that you know who you are writing for. you should primarily be writing for yourself, and then for the readers. the pressure of posting sometimes gets to us, and that's okay, we just need to take a few deep breaths and think. sometimes, we're losing motivation, there's lack of feedback, or various other factors that make it seem like a writer's block is coming. but really, prioritise yourself in when and what you write <3

and to add on to this-- give yourself the ego boost no one will (or write out of spite like i do). you're amazing, you're a great writer, you write juicy stuff, and that's all that matters! people don't have to love you for you to know that you're a great writer! gaslight yourself if you have to (it works). write out of spite-- hmm, why has no one written xxx trope about yyy member yet? if no one has, i will. this also works.

also, i think the most imp thing in all this yapping is being able to talk to someone if you feel like you can't write. sometimes when you feel like you're stuck and there's only darkness, talking to someone about what you feel, or what you want to write and bouncing ideas with them lights up that bulb in your head and before you know it, you're back on track again.

and if you ever need that person, i'm here for you <3

Oof I am so sorry to anyone with daddy issues for what I am currently doing to Sanemi and Genya in the google docs

[muttmedley]

one thing that's always a little funny to me is when you go to someone's blog and their dni basically boils down to "if you have ANY kinks then DO NOT interact with me" like ok that's fine but bro why are you here lol

[ahalliance]

the constant emphasis on the can of alcohol though… it’s like it’s telling us that yuko’s too deep in her vices/self-indulgence that she’s completely oblivious to how much her younger son loves and cares for her…
