I don't see the problem

[cyanithil]

i don’t know if I believe that destiel is as popular as you all make it out to be. can you make a poll that’s profound bond vs platonic bros and actually let the people decide? prob not but hey, worth a shot

but they weren’t going to mention it

Reblog for a larger sampling size, leaving this in y’all’s hands 🙏

[cyanithil]

Well now what am I supposed to do?? Actually work?? 😭😭

[cyanithil]

Not gonna lie, when I started Tangled Roots, Eternal Stars I told myself it was just a one-shot on how Legolas met Elladan and Elrohir, and then almost a MILLION words later, here we are.

"IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A ONESHOT!!!" i scream, desperately clawing at the floor, as the fic drags me back into The Depths to continue writing against my will for the rest of eternity

Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

🥲🙏🏻🥲

dear lord, please take all life problems and responsibilities away from fanfic writers but also make them financially stable and happy with nothing to worry about so they can happily focus on writing and posting fanfiction. amen

Facts

Wait, everyone hasn't been using em dashes the entire time??? I love—truly love—em dashes!

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )

Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨

Em Dashes (—)

To emphasize a shift / action / thought.

They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.

To add drama.

They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.

To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?

To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."

To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.

We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—

A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”

Semi Colons ( ; )

To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.

Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fuck you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

editing your own writing is just you vs. the demon who wrote it at 2 a.m. six months ago. and the demon was DRAMATIC

[cyanithil]

being a writer is feeling like a genius and a fraud at the same time

[cyanithil]

Just wait until you get to season 12

as someone watching supernatural for the first time and who was on tumblr for a good while before I started it, I can’t believe destiel fans arent more feral. if anything, they’ve been downplayed. there’s just so much material to work with dont even get me started. currently on season 9 and just wow

[cyanithil]

happy pride to my favorite gif in the world
