I legit startled a bit when cult au popped up in my bookmarks! It's so good of you to give us a new chapter even if your life is keeping you too busy! Hope you're doing okay :) (also I somehow actually missed you doing my second prompt for whumptober with the spy betrayal fic, so, uh, belated thanks, I enjoyed it very much?)
Yay! I'm glad people are enjoying my new updates without the promise of the next :)
i hate when a villainous character gets popular enough to become a hero and writers try and retcon their histories so they never fucked up in the first place. "harley quinn was actually a good psychiatrist who cared about her patients!" "eddie brock was actually correct in his exposure of a serial killer and it wasn't negligent journalism!" i think it's way more compelling if they did in fact actively choose to do awful things and then actively chose to try and become better people afterwards.
It's very funny to me that the stereotypical gelatinous cube is bright fucking green when the monster itself is almost perfectly transparent. Like its gimmick is that it's a monster that imitates an empty 10x10 hallway. How many people have fallen victim to gelatinous cubes because they "know" that the ooze is bright green and so don't bother to check the suspiciously clean corridor in front of them.
I already asked a while ago when you're coming back to AO3, but do you have any new updates? I miss your fics.
Thanks for saying so! 💗
My timeline is kind of up in the air. I'm considering returning briefly around the end of the month/beginning of March, but I don't know how long that'll go, or when I'll be back after that. I had some unexpected IRL stuff start in January that's taking a lot of attention from writing fic, so I don't know how much I'll actually manage to write in the coming weeks. Thus far it's been more than I anticipated, but who knows how long that'll be the case
If I do update soon (and I think I might, that timeframe is specific bc it'd probably be good for me to have a pick-me-up around then) I don't know what that'll look like. I'm debating doing every day rotation updates vs stretching it out doing every other day, or updating each fic once a week. Watch this space.
i have 4 10-20% done attempts at the same chapter in my docs and the only thing i like about them is the first line so now my doc just looks like i've trapped gerry in a groundhog day loop but he hasn't figured it out yet
aaaaaahhhhhh i went back to fic for the first time in like 2 weeks and i'd been v blocked for a couple weeks before that and i wrote over 6k my little guysssssssssss
run into a lot of awful things to say about someone orking on this, but kind of in awe of the obituary that talks about how the deceased was "battered and abused," until he was a year old and in hospitals and foster homes for another year ("One would wonder if he would ever fully recover from the abuse") and upon being adopted:
"In no time at all the power of love healed all his wounds"
Like. you can just say it was a loving family. That's an intense way of saying it even if it WAS 100% true
