I was talking with a student at my school along with a friend and we're discussing Greek mythology,,,, so we eventually get on the topic of the underworld and I mention tartarus

me: "oh yeah, tartarus too!"

my friend: "you'd have to have really messed up to end up there like Hitler would be down there"

The student: "who's Hitler?"

We just stopped to stare at him because he looked so dead ass that I'm starting to this he was serious 😭

Wolf not as in "grrr alpha pack!!" wolf but instead as "an infant left to rot, wither, and decay in a world with a puppy soon to be hungry, not fed by father. a possibility who now knows the smell of a warmth seeking child turned flesh eating spore, who knew no better for it was tradition." wolf

2. Write a story using only dialogue. No description. Dialogue only.

🔮🦷

"Don't you leave me. Please. Please, don't leave me, Kourtney. I can't be alone. I can't do this without you. Please, please! We'll get you help! We just need to find some... Just stay with me, please. Don't you fucking leave me, please."

"You were the best friend I could ask for, Odin."

"No, no, no, no, no, no... No! You don't get to say that to me! It's not your turn! I'm not ready! There's no way you could be ready... right? Not for this."

Two characters here! Odin (Minor, They/he) and Kourtney (She/her)

I own Odin while a roleplay acquaintance of mine owns Kourtney! I do not know their Tumblr user and I'm not giving away their socials (esp w/o perms) D:

how to ask / motivate your favorite fanfic writers to post new works / update a new chapter WITHOUT rushing them or sounding entitled and rude;

don’t comment “when” or “will there be a next chapter” or “will you continue this?” quite frankly, these type of comments can sound like you’re demanding from your favorite writer, even if it may not be your intention.

if you’d love a sequel or are wondering when or if the fic will be updated, try something like “I love this so much!” *bonus if you explain why you love the fic or what you love about it* and then add something along the line of “if there’s a part 2 of this, I would be so excited / would absolutely love to read it!”

the trick is to avoid a blunt question like “will there be a part 2?” or “it’s been so long. when will you update?” etc.

honestly, DON’T ever comment something like “it’s been ___ months, ___ years” or “I don’t think the author will continue this lol” that’s one of the most effective ways to make sure your favorite author doesn’t come back to your favorite fic, and it’s just so… dishearteningly rude.

it doesn’t matter if it’s been months or years since the author’s last update, demanding and rushing them will most likely NOT give you the result you want.

reminder that fanfic authors are humans with lives and jobs outside of writing fanfiction, especially when fanfic is something they do in their free time out of love and passion, and you — the reader — get to read their works for free.

rushing and demanding will only make it sound like ‘a task that needs to get done’ for your favorite author, and it sucks out the joy of writing out of love and passion. it can be so discouraging for the authors.

fanfic authors don’t owe you anything.

even if they completely abandon the fic, it still doesn’t give you the right to be rude to them or to ask why they stopped writing or to coerce them into giving you what you want.

I can never say this enough; fanfic authors write in their free time, FOR FREE, out of love and passion. and you get to read their works FOR FREE because they’re kind enough to share their love for their comfort characters with you.

they don’t owe you anything.

it’s okay if you’re wondering when or if they’ll post something new, but it’s not okay to rush or demand from them.

comments are mostly what motivate authors into writing faster, so if you want your favorite authors to post more, comment about what you love about their works, express your gratitude to them for giving you these amazing fics for free, but don’t be an entitled reader by rushing or directly asking when they’ll update.

let’s keep fandom space safe and comforting for both writers and readers.

🗡️ “Do not stray far from me.”

I don’t want you to get hurt 🗡️ protective dialogue prompts

“What in the gods’ holy names was that?! I–We could’ve lost you.”

“At the party C sort of kept cornering me…” “What? Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?”

“Stay back.”

“Who did this to you? I just want to talk to them.” (that’s a LIE AND THEY KNOW IT)

“The idea of you getting hurt doesn’t sit well with me.”

“I don’t like the things they said about you. You’re nothing like what they think you are.”

“I’m not going anywhere until I know you’re okay.”

“My duty is to ensure your safety at all times, no matter the cost to my life.”

“If you dare lay a finger on their head, I will have yours served on a silver platter.”

“These walls are meant to protect you, the world out there is far too dangerous for someone like you.” (villain arc??? 👀)

“I’m right here. You’re safe.”

“Say my name and I will be there. I promise.” (thank you daredevil for inspiring this one)

“I’ll take a sword through the heart before they ever reach you.”

“I should’ve been there. This shouldn’t have happened to you.”

“Will you let me know when you’re back safely?”

“I will kill you and everyone you love if it’s the last thing I do.” “It’ll be the last thing you try.”

“You’re worth saving.”

“My house is a safe haven. Go there if you’re ever in danger and we will take care of you.”

“Get away from them!”

“You don’t need to protect me.” “I want to.”

Day 1/365

1. Write a story about a character after a new Year's Eve party.

🔮🦷

Splotch smiled with all of her big girl teeth at the thought of the fireworks. She turned to her dad's acquaintance. "This will happen every year? Every single year?" She spoke with both awe and doubt in her voice.

The electric blue haired woman looked down at Splotch and nodded. "Every year, sweetheart. Every single year, baby." Splotch snuggled into the woman's warm grasp even closer.

A pale demon watched from the door as the two sat on the edge of the roof, dangling their legs. He frowned and leaned on the wall the pair sat on. Splotch seemed to have fallen asleep. "Don't you drop my kid, Nova. I can't get another one like her." Eros chuckled, staring warmly at Splotch's relaxed figure.

three characters!! Splotch (minor, She/her/it/....+) Eros (Adult, He/him) and Nova (Adult, She/her)!

Eros and Nova belong to my friend Jelly who at the moment does not have a Tumblr account, at least to my knowledge. This will be updated if they ever do!
