For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

in this house we don’t say “that character is dead”. we say “they’re wounded but they’re alive and are on their way towards making a full recovery on archive of our own fix-it fics”

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

I'm usually pretty anti social but this has been lingering in my head since I saw it. Been following you for a while though and it has made me smile when I think of this post.

Just wanted to say I really appreciate you and I adore all your writing. I've gone through and finished reading most of your works (still picking my way through BMaG) and your headcanons. Your writing skills are really lovely and immersive. The character relationships/interactions are one of my favourites to see play out in particular and seem very alive. You've inspired a lot of my own private ideas. It's always a highlight whenever to see you've posted, to either Ao3 or Tumblr.

I hope you're having a great day and wish you all the best in your day to day! I'm rooting for ya!

Working on the next chapter of MaM today but I wanted to toss out to all of you a fun fact. I have a weird memory for usernames and numbers. Chances are, if you've liked, commented, or sent in asks off anonymous enough, I do recognize you.

And I just wanted you to know to all those who have been here for so long, since I do see you, that I appreciate you a lot. We're just like this one big happy friend group of silent friends in my head. I know that might be silly but maybe it gave you a smile!

I hope you have a great day everyone! Hopefully, I'll be returning later with a chapter update!

i didnt "turn evil" bro. no bro i didnt "always have evil lurking in my heart" either god man youre missing the point. the world isnt as simple as being good or evil we are all just people trying to decide what being a person must mean my guy. yeah no shit im a different person after my experiences bro to exist is to change. bro just because my philosophy is antithetical to yours doesnt make either of us right or wrong. we can still french kiss behind the bleachers

it's always "immortals always lose the ones they love!" and never "this family has had this incredible, powerful, loving figure present through generations of their lineage, all because they are descended from someone the immortal loved long ago" and i think that's a shame!!
