#yes I write in a notebook

[vey-is-the-consequence]

My friend: They’re a writer!

My other friend: they’re a pervert!

Me, pulling out my notebook and pen: even better. I’m a writer AND a pervert

im on a stage with 100s of people maybe 500 people in the audience and i tell a story into the microphone i am nervous and scared but am determined. when i finish my story 490 people leave without saying a single word. 10 people clap. One person comes up to the stage and says “good job” . This is what it’s like to write fic in 2025

I'm a little sad that I didn't manage to get her to be exactly the way I wanted (there wasn't much room for small details like her vallaslin or her earrings and pouches), but finally I let go of my perfectionism and finished my tiny Bellara plushie ❤️

she's all of 5 inches tall (a whole inch of which is just her bun); A5 notebook for scale ❤️

jayvik epigraph I

You held to me like a lung to breath We collided head first Our lips never met but merged and though I've never kissed you I have tasted an eternity inside you with no moment wasted just once. (until air came between us)

aaand the song this made me think of, which might fit the longing vibe in these flashbacks? hm

I found this in my 'notes for JBSWM' and I don't know if I'm more impressed that I had a timeline from month 4 of 18 and stuck to it till the end or that 2 x 1 = 2.

thinking about love in danger days

this is part of my conspiracy theory that that album is aroallo, but i've always gotten the sense that romance and romantic attatchment is much less important to danger days than any other mcr record. with bullets&revenge it's quite obvious as the demolition lovers take up like, everything, and the black parade has a heavy focus on a romantic relationship as well. 

while i do think there are lines in it that are romantically coded, there is a definitive lack of emphasis on it- like it's nowhere in the plot at all. 

i do think danger days represents a very familial type of love though. while other albums visit a sense of "i want you, i need you, i miss you, i hate you,", this is more like…"i love you, i want to protect you, i'm sorry"

i find this especially strongly in s/c/a/r/e/c/r/o/w:

"Nevermind about the shape i'm in, I'll keep you safe tonight"

"love, love, love won't stop this bomb"

"run, run, bunny, run"

and other songs: 

"i'll find you when the sun goes black"

"just save yourself and i'll hold them back tonight"

"how long until we find our way in the dark and out of harm"

relevant things i can't cover with just quotes are planetary go, oft-theorized to be about party poison and kobra kid, as brothers, leaving battery city together; sing, about the killjoys' last message to the girl while saving her; goodnite dr. death, phrased as him saying goodnight to children; and summertime, which i can't discern the meaning of but seems more like a family type of love. 

i think it makes sense that danger days is like this, seeing as it features main characters that take care of a child main character as opposed to main characters that love other main characters of the same age/ability. 

another thing i noticed while re-listening to the more sentimental songs for this essay is that there's just a distinctly different vibe to it. So much of it is focused around wanting to protect people, keep them safe and out of danger (<- ha that's the name of the album) and loved. i think this also makes sense, because the killjoys live a very, well, dangerous life without much security, and they'd want to provide what they lack the most. another semi-related thing i noticed is just how much of an emphasis there is on childhood in this album. i feel like there's a vibe of youth or teen-hood throughout the earlier ones, but this is just VERY strongly about kids. again this makes sense cause not only are the killjoys teenagers (a type of kid!) they also have a proper little kid to watch. 

also, i wonder how much of this stuff was due to gerard becoming a parent. just something to think about

Though taken with desire, she retreats, she trembles before temptation.

Jillian watches her, aching but patient. She had anticipated this fear, sharing in it herself — Suzanne fears retribution but Jillian knows something of the human heart and satisfying it could all but still its beating.

There is a certain pleasure to uncertainty, a rapture to the incomplete, an exquisite, sublime unattainability even as they lie side by side, a breath away, a touch. One moment and the colourful glass is shattered, the illusion destroyed and is that what they want?

Each has her faith. One touch tests them.

… They triumph.

Now I want to write a fairy tale rendition staring Crow. But what fairy tale would fit him? I am leaning towards Cinderella (No Martha will not be the evil step mom). There is also Robin Hood, but he’s already that in the show.

Hi, I sent an ask like 5 minutes ago but I'm not sure if it went through for certain reasons so if it did just ignore that,

I love your fic so much. One of my favourite things is the authors note, I love hearing your rambles and thought processes behind certain scenes,

And JEE💖💖

The jee lovers in the fandom are small but dedicated, I love that man.

Any situation of an older man reluctantly and unknowingly adopting a child they hate and growing soft for them I love, I could ramble on for hours about certain headcanons I have regarding jee and zuko for hours, I need more of them (AND HIM AND BATO (please don't kill them i need AT LEAST 1 queer couple to be happy in this fic🙏🙏))

Also another thing, I do fanart and I really want to do art for this fic but I have no idea which scene to do, is there any specific ones you would want art of?

HI HI HI HI HIIII!!

I didn’t get your five minute ago ask but I got this one!! ahhhhhh my shameful authors notes haha I am very unhinged in there, I think I black out and rub my face in the keyboard honestly.

JEE LOVERS UNITED WE STAND!!!! I adore his dislike of both zuko & sokka in the beginning and now he’s falling hard for sokkas uncle and has pretty much said if anything happens to these kids I’ll burn this bitch to the ground. Unfortunately, Jees situation is going to get a bit more complicated he just doesn’t realize it yet haha.

THERE IS A HAPPY QUEER COUPLE! *gestures at liab zuko* I mean they’re happy like…. some of the time haha. Ok ok I see your point but no promises because you know when I start blowing shit up in liab I can get a little crazy :D mwahahaha.

FAN ART FOR ME?!1?27,771!37/&/ YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME FERAL!!! ahhhhh honestly idk how to pick scenes im so bad at it i dont know what to choose but if you did wanna draw any scenes maybe any from ITF? Your fave or ones scenes you liked idk that’s my suggestion lol.

thanks for this amazing ask you’re a beautiful human thank you!

Vital fic research.

[ochriven]

I made a fantasy alphabet for my story :D

Because I struggle enough with real languages, so there’s no way I’m making my own (conlags are really cool tho)

I also went a little overboard and added some extra *fun* via different forms. I’m fairly certain that extra forms equal extra fun

Anyways, here’s the first form:

The alphabet is based off of the traditional Mongolian script, with a central “stem” that has the letters branching off of it. Most letters are a 1:1 conversion, though I’ve added some stuff for sounds like th, ch, and also repeated letters

Oh, and it’s read up to down, then left to right

This is the “flat top” form, indicated by the flat top (very creative), which is for common, everyday words. At the beginning of sentences, they have an arrow looking thing instead. (Still considered flat top, though)

Next, there’s the Crescent Top form:

This is for proper nouns. Specific people, places, objects, that sort of thing. It’s what people use for strangers, unfamiliar places, and scholarly discussions. It’s very detached, and somewhat formal. Not quite sir/ma’am, but you aren’t buddies

Now, if you *are* buddies, you would use the condensed form:

This one is my favorite! It’s the word all squished together in a way that doesn’t have any set rules, apart from there being a stem, and that all letters must be present. This is used for close friends, family, yourself, and even your hometown, assuming that you have a strong connection with it. Two people can have the same name, but their condensed form can still be different.

Using it for someone you don’t know well comes off as just… weird, kind of stalker-ish. Especially since it’s so personalized.

Now, the condensed form is also used for very important things, like gods and significant places. It would be strange to address a divine being with the equivalent of “hey bro, what’s up?” So, there are added “moods” above those characters to clarify the speaker’s relationship to what their talking about.

The little arrow is the “venerated” form, used for gods, religious sites, and mythical heroes. The worshippers of that god would use it, but the average joe won’t.

The center form, with the line, is the “respected” form. You are familiar with the thing in question, but you have no personal relationship with it. Other people’s gods, some place names, and some charms / wards all use this form. Of the altered condensed forms, it is the most common.

The final one is the “dismembered” form. It indicates that the thing is inherently evil, and is used for only the worst monsters of mythology. Even bitter exes will use the common term for each other as an insult instead of using the dismembered form. (That would be the equivalent of going into extensive detail of how excruciating you want their death and afterlife to be.)

Its most common use is in certain charms / wards in order to repel something. (Death, destruction, and disease are common ones.) It is made by taking apart the condensed word, with the first letter on top, the last letter at the end, and a detached stem in the middle.

So yeah! This is all still a WIP, so stuff can change in the future.

(Melpomene’s is separated because it’s so long lol. It’s common practice for long words to be separated and placed beside each other.)
