Convincing you to read my fic #4 🌈

Tropes in “Masks Off”:

“A flower with thorns attracts even those who know they'll bleed.”

- Master Splinter

Guard dog x Empath who neglects herself

Love-starved vs unconditional lover

He combusts. She soothes.

Not opposites. Just extremes trying to meet each other in the middle.

"I know what it's like to put others first and forget yourself."

Control freak x Fixer

Control vs empathy

Same wounds, different armor.

He buries pain in duty. She buries it in care.

"I don't mean to intrude—" "Then prove it. Leave us alone."

Sunshine x Stoic

Comedic relief vs the person who sees beyond the jokes

Pink lemonades over golden hours

He reminds her that it's not so bad. She guides him when it is.

"I think that sometimes, if I keep joking, nobody will have to think about how bad things really are."

Brains x Heart

Logical vs intuitive

Observer who learns everyone meets the listener who reminds him to slow down

Bonding over spy drones and attachment styles

"Statistically speaking, emotions have no concrete metric."

Guide: How To Write A Canon-Parallel Fic Without Copy-Pasting The Source Material

Saw someone saying that they wanted to start their fic from season 1 of a show and follow along, then asked how they can do it without being repetitive and boring the readers.

I accidentally refreshed Tumblr as I was writing a comment and lost the blog so now I'm making this post in hopes that they (or whoever needs it) see it someday. 😔

❥ Tip #1:

Instead of retelling episodes, think of your fic as filling in the gaps.

What wasn’t shown? What happened before or after the camera cut away? Your character should give us a peek into behind the scenes or contribute to shaping events from the shadows.

❥ Tip #2:

Use “off-screen time” to tell a parallel story.

Let your character show us what happened off-screen. Maybe they were prepping something that made a canon moment possible. Or maybe they’re dealing with the consequences of canon decisions. Then, when the climax hits, your character is either present on the fringes or shows up right after to deal with the mess.

❥ Tip #3:

Pick key episodes where your character’s presence matters.

You don’t have to cover every episode. Choose ones where:

They’re directly impacted by what happens

They can secretly influence something in the background

There’s emotional room to explore (e.g, an aftermath we never saw)

❥ Tip #4:

Give them their own emotional arc that mirrors canon.

Even if they don’t change the main story, their personal journey should feel like it’s evolving alongside it. Are they learning the same lessons as the main characters? Do they clash with them or support them? Are they a foil to someone?

I hope this was helpful for somebody 🫶🏻

“We’re in a fanfic drought” Tell the writers you like their work.

“All Tumblr ever does is write oneshots now” Tell the writers that you’d love to see them write longer things.

“Nobody updates their fics anymore” Tell the writers you love the fic and want to see more of it.

Tell the writers.

Im just gonna say my Leo x Rosie 😭 can't wait to write that arc!!

Unpopular Take #7

Rant: ai prompters are winning.

Just found a fairly popular writing account with works that are so painfully clearly ChatGPT copy-pastes. The pattern is there. The sentence structures, the overuse of emotional intensifiers, the repetitive flat metaphors, "like prayer" "like a whisper" "like a secret". It's almost impressive to see an ai-writer be so unbothered about making the writing "sound human" and even more impressive the amount of comments praising and believing this is actually human authorship.

Look, I get it. The use of AI is becoming inevitable in the entertainment industry. I'm not anti-AI. I'm flexible. I'm open-minded. I'm all for AI assistance within boundaries. If you use it for an outline, to brainstorm, to fight writer's block? Cool. As long as the final content was written using your own words, in your personal style that you took years to develop, under your own unique creative vision.

But when you're copy-pasting whole chapters without even bothering to edit? That's not writing. That's content-farming. Not cool.

And to see so many people believing these copy-pastes are human? That is just sad. Please educate yourselves. Don't jump on AI hate trends blindly. Use AI writing tools. See why it can't, and will never, replace authentic human writing. Study the difference. Learn how to distinguish algorithmic mimicry from actual human creativity. How do you expect to combat frauds if you can't even tell the difference? We're praising the very people we should be hunting down. Lead with curiosity, not disdain.

I will not be exposing the account, only that it's in the TMNT fandom. But if they do ever see this blog, please do better. Read a book or two. Value authenticity. At the very least, be transparent about the source of your writing. You have fans who genuinely look up to you. Is a temporary ego boost really worth lying to them? :(

hi! i looked at ur pinned post out of curiosity and i was js wondering how youre able to write that many different fics? like im currently writing one thats on ao3 and sometimes i struggle a little (HAHAH i hadnt updated it for a month until yesterday lmaooo) to js write that. so how do you handle all of those and still update it consistently?

Henloo my second ask in one day MOM IM FAMOUS!!!

Well, while I do update all of them, it is by no means consistent 😭 the thing with adhd is that not only are motivation bursts unpredictable, but that I NEED the variation/task rotation so my brain doesn't get bored, so it's kinda inevitable for me to jump between projects, and I kinda stopped fighting it ig..?

This sometimes means waking up with what i call ✨a hyperfixation flare✨ on one fic, working an entire month to pump out 25 chapters for it while the others stand in line, or write one chapter for each fic throughout one week. I'm really just working with my adhd.

For example, Soft Muscle (25k words in total) was written, believe it or not, in 2-3 days due to a hyperfixation flare after i started watching 2003 tmnt. Stopped on a cliff hanger. Haven't updated since 23rd May.

I used to update my Ghost fic regularly, but as I got more immersed in my Bayverse tmnt fic, I sidelined it to finish the first arc. Last update was on 14 May and I'm only halfway through the next chapter.

My König fic is, unfortunately, on hold due to lack of engagement, even though I do have it planned out n all. I do have plans to post on ao3 and try to revive it, but it's not a priority. I'm more emotionally invested in other projects.

Which brings me to the last (and maybe most important) variable: emotional investment!!

Again, as an ADHDer, I'm going to prioritize the most emotionally rewarding tasks. That usually means whichever fic has the characters I'm most attached to at the moment, or if a specific scene is living rent-free in my head, that's what gets written.

Sometimes it's a ship. Sometimes it's dialogue I need to get out of my system. Other times, it's just whatever characters are making my brain go brrrr that week. So yeah, if im not emotionally locked in, even the best outline in the world won't push me to write the thing.

Currently I'm most fixated on Masks Off, my bayverse fic, so all projects have been on hold for the past month until I finished the first arc (30k words) few days ago, and now I'm back to working on my Ghost fic, occasionally jumping to the 2003 tmnt one, etc. 🌈 Task rotation 🌈

Progress is slow and unpredictable, but it's still progress, and I'm proud of my different brain for finding a way that works. I hope this explains it (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
