Are you like. Okay

the character

The best advice i can give any creator is do it before you're good at it, do it BEFORE you're happy, do it while you suck, do it while you're doubting yourself and get stuck the fuck in, because waiting around to be "good enough" is a motherfucking trap of the highest degree. You'll get good along the way and better after ever project is complete. Remember, this is the greatest thing you've ever created, and then you'll do something else. You're only ever gonna get better, but not if you stand still.

people should remember that the word "hunk" exists

no, unless he's a young father, that's not a dilf, that's a hunk. If you want to call a childless man a dilf, at least make him middle aged

no, that's not a bear, that's a hunk. Bears must be fat and hairy

no, that's not a himbo, that's a hunk. Himbos must be dumb, beefy and kind simultaneously, if he's just dumb and beefy that's a hunk

like, cmon people, there's nothing wrong with a humble hunk. Why are you so mean to him?

y’all ever read a fanfic that you cannot believe an author just wrote for free?? what an honor it is to read a piece of someone’s soul they shared out of nothing but love for a piece of media. what a privilege it is to be allowed their talent because you share an interest!!

[coralhoneyrose]

Oh god. I just finished a really good book with a really great ship and a really vicious cliffhanger and I went to search it on ao3 to try and fill the void and there are only three fics total for the entire fandom, each only like 1,000 words. My taste is usually so comically mainstream I have never had this happen before, idk what to do with myself 🥹

[coralhoneyrose]

ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!!

[coralhoneyrose]

If posting fic online has taught me anything, it’s that I have no idea how the reader will react to anything. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Not the faintest clue.

Fics that I think I scribbled off just to get them out there get the kindest, most rapturous feedback. Fics I slaved over, agonized over, bled my soul into get a couple tepid replies. Fics I thought were me revealing the darkness and weird kink that lives in my brain, scared to even post it for fear of judgement, get, “Aaaw that’s so sweet!” replies. Baffling.

My conclusion? You just never know. You really just can’t know. When I did a workshop with 20 other writers I would try to guess what their critique of my story would be and I was right maybe 1 in 20 times. Only one other writer would have the same critique for my story that I had. And it wasn’t even always the same person.

The encouraging part about this is, if self recrimination, the fear that you know what people won’t like about your story, is holding you back, just say fuck it! You’re almost certainly wrong! All you can do is make it the best story you can for the energy you have. And yeah, sometimes that means scribbling it out in an evening and kicking it out to the void of the internet before you can change your mind or worry about editing it more than once because then you’ll never post it.

It’s all chaos, man. You don’t get to decide what the audience thinks. All you can do is create it and put it out there for them to decide.

Half Orange Chapter 21 is out now!

Pairing: Chrom/F!Robin

Rating: Explicit

Tags: Mutual Pining, Feelings Realization, Getting Together, Friends to Lovers, Secret Relationship, Misunderstandings, Demisexual!Chrom

Preview:

Robin watches her declaration crash into Chrom with seismic force.

His mouth slackens, lips rounded in the same ‘o’ as his widened eyes. He blinks at her for a full twelve thumps of her pounding heart before he seems to remember how to speak.

“You…you what?” he chokes out.

Robin laughs—she can’t help it. In the novels Sumia has lent her, love proclamations like the one she just made are usually met with a proposal or a passionate embrace. In the racier ones, sometimes the characters start going at it then and there. But as desperate as she is to cut to the part of this where they fling themselves at each other and become an inextricable muddle of limbs, Robin wouldn’t trade his sincere reaction for anything.

“What, didn’t you hear me? Or do you just want me to say it again?” she teases, a grin splitting her face. “I said that I love you, Chrom. I always have. And I’ll repeat it as many times as you’d like.”

“No, I—I heard you,” he stammers. His hands tighten at her waist, as if he’s afraid that she’ll slip through his fingers if he loosens them even a fraction. “But…what do you mean ‘always’?”

“I mean always. As in from the very beginning.” The words feel fluttery leaving her throat—a caged bird free to take flight at long last. “It just took a remarkably long time for me to realize that I don’t have to keep fighting it.”

Robin meets his gaze dead on, ignoring the creeping heat in her cheeks. Hope and wonder spark in Chrom’s eyes, the light of dawn glittering against them like the sun-spangled sea.

“Robin,” he takes a quaking breath, “do you really mean it…?”

“I do,” she promises. “I really truly do.”

A smile breaks across Chrom’s face. Her heart lifts off—

Then a door slams shut inside of him and the smile crumbles.
