if you ever wonder whether your ao3 comments make a difference know that i frequently go back and read old comments on my fics to get a dose of happy rainbow sunshine

I LOVE it when characters are awful actually! I LOVE it when characters cause conflict! I LOVE it when characters are horrible to everyone INCLUDING THEMSELVES!!! I LOVE it when a character turns themself into a bomb, slowly ticking down before taking everything with them! I LOVE it when characters hurt people and then when confronted by this DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR BEHAVIOR!!!!

blog update!

hey guys! i realize i have not been using this blog a lot lately. i have unfortunately been neglecting writing in a favor of making art (lots and lots of it, and much of it is mediocre at best). and any writing project i do have are either fanfic ideas or stay in my head forever.

also, many of my previously word-based projects have suddenly turned into comic ideas and potential visual novels. which i guess still involves (script)writing. but still, im not really. writing anything. whoops.

i do want to post writing updates here. and i just want to write more. part of me has been hesitant to make updates about my cringe niche fanfic since i know that’s not what most of you are here for. so, i think fanfic updates will stick to my main blog (@kirbylord) and original projects will go on this one. that is, if i actually work on my original projects.

tldr: sorry for not doing more writing on my writing-based blog. perhaps i will try scriptwriting instead.

"life is good right now" prompts

running through the rain and friends not shrinking away at a hug

pressed flowers on the windowsill

legs tangled into each other, living quietly in each others' presence

raised brows of acknowledgement in the hallways

curved smiles and side looks

falling into a system without needing to speak

late nights and eager whispers

blasting an album you've tried before, disliked, and now love

late nights and early mornings but with a sense of purpose

talking to strangers over little things you love

seeing your friends do well

talking to an old friend you haven't spoken to in a while

finding conversation where you couldn't before

letting go of feelings and letting whatever comes your away come gently

starting to anticipate things again

starting to feel happy again

“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it

Monstrous May 2024

Once again, the time is nearly upon us - with less than a month left of April, it's soon time for #Monstrous May!

Monstrous May was first established in 2021, and I've arranged prompts for each May since - for each day of the month of May, there is a prompt involving and invoking the monstrous.

Create art, sculpture, write fiction, poetry, make whatever you feel inspired to! Create for as many or as few days as inspire you, collaborate with friends, and have fun.

Fan creations are just as welcome as original ones, and naturally, erotic and adult creations are as well as SFW ones!

Have some questions? Here’s the FAQ from 2021. Otherwise, feel free to reply with any questions or HMU with more of them!

Want to see prompts from previous years?

Here’s 2021.

Here’s 2022.

Here's 2023.

The secret wish is to write a fanfic that someone loves so much they make fan art of it, or to create a drawing that someone creates an entire fic based off of it.

"i wish i could exfoliate my brain" you can. by reading things that challenge you.

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”
