the whump fan’s dilemma

[apocalypsewriters]

Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

trans men shouldn't be scared to express femininity it does not make you less of a man In fact it makes you more awesome. but seriously I do understand the feeling of being scared of not being taken seriously or that you're not real for liking things that you grew up with that can be perceived as feminine. you're still a guy. I'm still a guy

I'm wishing a very Happy Pride Month to all the queer people who:

are disabled

are chronically ill

can't celebrate for health reasons

disability gets in the way of their gender representation

disability got in the way of a relationship

don't have anyone to celebrate with

have homophobic caretakers

Happy Pride Month to all disabled queer people

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

7 4 Snippets, 7 4 people tag

thanks to @oh-no-another-idea (x) for this tag wayyyy back. just doing it now 'cause i have free time, lmaooo.

i've been mostly watching anime these days rather than writing, lol. but i'm slowly getting back into it. slowly being the keyword, sksksk. anyways, have 4 snippets from Lines of a Script to Ignore a.k.a LOASTI. Preview of my messy sapphic girls. :>

1.

"Oh. She's a manager?" "Nope, she happens to be a playwright. But she's also a part of the stage crew. Dealing with props and how to arrange a set. I mean she'd have her own play or musical produced but. . . the higher ups are picky. I'd ask her what her latest idea's all about except. . . I've been busy, so. . . yep." "That's good! It must be fulfilling."

2.

Before Tegan can let out a swoony sigh, her best friend's face pales. She stumbles back and throws a hand up. "Why does this stranger sound like my sister?" Nijiko asks, her lips tight in a frown. "Did you get her name?" "Nah, I didn't have an opportunity to ask. Why? Do you know her?"

3.

Before the woman can say anything, Tegan tries smiling. She hopes it looks apologetic, somehow. "… Never mind then. I'll see you around." "Uh huh, enjoy your coffee too," Tegan murmurs, belatedly realizing she's not the damn barista.

4.

After she puts her credentials in her messenger bag, she trudges outside. Seriously? Why does this had to happen again? How long is she supposed to take? To get a job suitable with the credentials she's got? She didn't go abroad and study for nothing. Is she going to have to search and search until she gives up?

Tagging, no pressure tho: @charlesjosephwrites, @cherrybombfangirlwrites, @ink-fireplace-coffee, @apocalypsewriters and anyone who wants to, i guess.

Gonna redo my tag games post bc it's been way too long. 😶

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

[apocalypsewriters]

Happy Juneteenth! ❤

everyone is trying to take your oxford comma away from you. don't give them that satisfaction, reward, or pleasure.

[apocalypsewriters]

some words you can only spell on autopilot. once you stop to think about it you've already lost the fight

[apocalypsewriters]

ai does not belong in creative spaces. period.

Your story is still worth writing even if it veers off from what you planned originally.

It’s still worth writing even if you aren’t feeling it right now.

It’s still worth writing even if it’s fanfiction.

It’s still worth writing even if you don’t think anyone else would ever want to read it.

It’s still worth writing even if it doesn’t get published.

It’s still worth writing even if it doesn’t get adapted into a huge blockbuster movie.

It’s still worth writing even if you can’t have fancy illustrations at the beginning of chapters or a map of the world at the beginning.

It’s still worth writing even if someone you trusted told you to stop.

It’s still worth writing if you just rolled your eyes at me.

It’s still worth writing, SO WRITE IT.

being OCpilled is so fucking mortifying honestly. like oh... yeah..... heres my guy. i invented him. i can't think about anything else except for him this week. but he isn't cool or anything. he actually sucks. im just ill.

[apocalypsewriters]

The purpose of life is to get really into stories that drive you so crazy you sometimes feel the need to throw up from how much you love them

[apocalypsewriters]

i am a firm believer that ocs are a reflection of the self in the way that every character you create has to hold some piece of you to really feel alive. sometimes this is why all your ocs have certain traits, sometimes this is why you can track your various issues and traumas all the way from middleschool to now based on what your ocs are like. this is a feature not a bug

Shout out to characters who want to be used. Shout out to characters who are so desperate to be worth something that they'll endure anything. Shout out to characters who build their entire self worth around being useful, being a tool. Shout out to characters who don't care how they are treated, as long as someone pays them any attention at all
