I wrote another FF14 fic about voice insecurity. Please enjoy.

Drawing the Pokédex 110a - Galarian Koffing What a dapper gentlemen. This is the last art for a while, I need to get some real life stuff done.

[littledrawsandwritesstuff]

Alright, so I have thought about it and there are some things I need to sort out in real life. And because of that, I have to go on a semi hiatus. I have a drawing started that I plan to finish. And I still want to get some writing time in, but it will be less than usual, so my writing will slow down noticeable (as if it wasn't super slow anyway). So I am going on a definite art hiatus after my next drawing, and writing will be done slowly. I don't know how long this will be. One month? Two month? It depends on how everything goes. It could very well be that we need to move into a different apartment, then I will put everything on definite hiatus while I get this sorted out. But for now, I am there, I am happy to talk to you, but my creative time has to take a backseat for now.

It took me a long time, but finally the story about how Rispale lost his mother is complete. This story is very personal and I certainly did put my own trauma in it, so proceed with care. Also, tumblr completely fails to embed AO3-Links lately, sorry.

While you are correct, of course, I still cannot help but feeling guilty for having published multichapter fics when I knew that I was at the end of my limit and going through the most hardest part of my life. I should have gone in hiatus right away so that they don't have the "trauma residue" all over them.

So, I have to talk about my dormant multichapters. That is the first time it is happening to me. That I have multichapters that I barely feel motivated to write on anymore. And it doesn't really have to do with me not caring anymore for these characters or stories. I very much WANT to write them. But... I think I made a mistake. I started two of them while my husband was in hospital. When my mental health was not good. When I had to take a loooong break from writing and drawing. And now I look at them and think "I have the feeling I should delete them, write a couple of chapters in advance and then publish bi-weekly or so." But do I want to do that? Do I really want to delete these fics for no reason? I mean, they can stay up and I can still write the remaining chapters in advance. But the thing is, I am not writing for them at them moment. And I don't know when I will. Every time I think I am getting back to them, I get an idea for a one-shot and want to write this down instead. And that of course takes away from writing or preparing chapters for my multichapters. I wanna write on them, but I think... they are more on hiatus for the moment. At least until my head feels like it can wrap itself around them again. Also, there are two other things: They are all Soulsborne. And the problem is, I am a bit burned out from this fandom. And at fault is the Elden Ring DLC and me thinking that it was ass, both from a storytelling point and a gameplay point. I eventually want to give it another chance (with a broken build because Elden Ring is designed around overpowered builds), but for now, it left me "Meeeeeh" for anything Soulsborne, ESPECIALLY Elden Ring, and the Elden Ring fic was smashed to pieces by DLC lore, so that I lost motivation for it for now. The other one is about one of my OTPs, but I am simply not thinking that much about them lately. I need to get into the right mindset again to write down their story believable. And then we have one that is a crossover with Made in Abyss, an ongoing manga that has the slowest update speed in the world. Part of me always feels hesitant to write on it BECAUSE a chapter could drop out of nowhere and give me new lore I can use in the fic. That is why this fic has been on my account for... five years now, I think. Oh, there is also Taste Testing, but that is just a thing I want to write on whenever I feel it and it is not supposed to have a plot or clear ending. Anyway, please know that I write, but I need to write what my brain wants to write. And at the moment it is not my multichapters. And if it feels like this account is quiet, then you can bet that I instead have updated fics on my kink account which are not suited for here.

Ref Recs for Whump Writers

Violence: A Writer’s Guide:  This is not about writing technique. It is an introduction to the world of violence. To the parts that people don’t understand. The parts that books and movies get wrong. Not just the mechanics, but how people who live in a violent world think and feel about what they do and what they see done.

Hurting Your Characters: HURTING YOUR CHARACTERS discusses the immediate effect of trauma on the body, its physiologic response, including the types of nerve fibers and the sensations they convey, and how injuries feel to the character. This book also presents a simplified overview of the expected recovery times for the injuries discussed in young, otherwise healthy individuals.

Body Trauma: A writer’s guide to wounds and injuries. Body Trauma explains what happens to body organs and bones maimed by accident or intent and the small window of opportunity for emergency treatment. Research what happens in a hospital operating room and the personnel who initiate treatment. Use these facts to bring added realism to your stories and novels.

10 B.S. Medical Tropes that Need to Die TODAY…and What to Do Instead: Written by a paramedic and writer with a decade of experience, 10 BS Medical Tropes covers exactly that: clichéd and inaccurate tropes that not only ruin books, they have the potential to hurt real people in the real world. 

Maim Your Characters: How Injuries Work in Fiction: Increase Realism. Raise the Stakes. Tell Better Stories. Maim Your Characters is the definitive guide to using wounds and injuries to their greatest effect in your story. Learn not only the six critical parts of an injury plot, but more importantly, how to make sure that the injury you’re inflicting matters. 

Blood on the Page: This handy resource is a must-have guide for writers whose characters live on the edge of danger. If you like easy-to-follow tools, expert opinions from someone with firsthand knowledge, and you don’t mind a bit of fictional bodily harm, then you’ll love Samantha Keel’s invaluable handbook

I decided to join the monthly challenge of my Soulsborne server again. For January, we rolled the Albinauric Archer. It was a really cool motive to draw.
