reblogging this old fic of mine because i need the comfort and wish that i wasnt trapped in the place i am rn and maybe some of you might need it too <3
hearts to heal
hi, please read this prior to reading the piece !
so, i wrote this over the last few days. I was not in a good place, and I needed to write something cathartic. I wrote this because I feel so utterly alone and to have not one, but 4 people care so deeply about you, to hold you, to comfort you, take care of you - I crave it more than anything.Ā
there is a trigger warning for self-harm. it is not romanticed, this isnāt a story of giving up. itās a story of family and hope - but please do be aware that there is scenes depicting it. there is also mentions of OCD, anxiety and depression.Ā
please be kind about this work, as i wasnāt sure whether or not to share it.Ā
Word Count: 2146 (i think my longest yet? it kinda got away from meā¦)
Alex frowned at the text she just received. It was from your school alerting her that you had not turned up to your first class.
āSomething the matter, Director?ā Brainy queries, leaning across the desk.
Alex looks up, āhm?ā
āYour face has contorted into a displeased expression.ā
āOh, sorry Brainy. Itās all good, itās just y/n. She didnāt turn up at school.ā
Brainy furrows his brows, āThat would make it day number 4, wouldnāt it, Director Danvers?ā
Alex thought for a minute - he was right. She had been so wrapped up in work that she couldnāt keep track of days. She didnāt realise this was the fourth day within a week that she had been alerted by the High School of your non-attendance. What else hadnāt she noticed?

iām sorry- what?
iām kind of losing my mind that you followed me!
about a year ago, i was really into supergirl and i didnāt have tumblr at the time (i was scared to make a blog, so i just read through the internet), and you were my favorite writer. your blog makes me so happy!
i hope youāre doing okay, and i just want to let you know youāre an awesome writer!
STOP THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!

Hi! First of all I love your writing, the fact that youāre able to write about both heavier topics and complete fluff is amazing. Iām not sure if this is how I should do it but you had said that youāre only giving your new blogs name to thoughās who ask and I would really like to check it out. Iām a huge nerd and love Marvel just as much if not more than Supergirl. Thank you for all the fantastic content!
hi!, first of all - that is the sweetest thing ever and it means so so much to me <3 thank you!!
second, (confession) i haven't actually made that tumblr yet š
, ive been dealing with a lot in various areas of my life and writing etc has taken the backseat for the last 6+ months.
thank you again for such a sweet message though!! i really appreciate it

hey guys! so i'm gonna keep this tumblr up, but i think i'm also gonna make a new account for marvel stuff as well which i think im gonna be more active on. i will (once i get my writing mojo back) upload writings and still be around on here, i just also want a fresh start.
due to things that have happened on this blog and messages i've received, i will only be giving my new blog name (when i make it) to those who dm me for it .
:)

you promised to put out a new fic chapter today but your brain seems to be working against you ? totally cool, i understand !
you said you were gonna answer some asks but youāre feeling a little overwhelmed ? no worries, we can wait !
you decided you were going to post some art today but youāre just too busy to finish it ? all good, thereās always tomorrow !
give yourself a break sometimes. work at your own pace. congratulate yourself for any amount of progress.
creating content is hard, okay.
youāre already doing wonderfully. no pressure. you got this.

Wow, so - I'm alive
Hi - its been a long few months huh guys.
I've still been on here, just haven't been writing or posting and honestly? it's been so wonderful. I didn't realise how much this was affecting me.
I think I'm coming back but things are definitely changing. I am not going to accept requests for quite a while. I'm going to write what I want (if i do end up posting).
Also - my marvel phase has come back full force so i might consider writing for marvel women as well :).
Oh! and during the months i had off - i hit 500 followers!!! thank you so so much! I can't tell you how much it means to me.
So, I'm back but I'm gonna take it slow and on my own terms - I wanna be able to enjoy writing again :)
<3

hi guys. sorry iāve been m.i.a. unfortunately i dont think thats going to change for a bit. im not doing well, not that anyone cares bc im meant to be strong for everyone else. my state had 0 cases of covid for over 2 months and then all of a sudden got some and turns out i was at one of the exposure sites so iāve been having to isolate and its tanked my mental health even further if thats possible.Ā
i genuinely donāt know what to do anymore lmao iām not enough for anyone in my life and according to the asks sitting in my inbox, im not enough for anyone here either.Ā
im sorry. im trying my bestĀ

Sometimes I get discouraged as a creator. I read a fic thatās just so achingly beautiful that I think, āWhatās the point of writing if I canāt write like this?ā Or I see a stunning piece of art and I almost want to give up because I know Iāll never be that good.
The truth is, there will always be someone whoās better than me at something I want to be good at. And thatās okay. The things I do can still be valuable even if someone else does them better.
When I think about my favorite works and creators, I realize how different they all are. Maybe some of those creators worry that their work isnāt that good or get frustrated because they canāt create the way someone else creates. But I love them all in different ways for different reasons, and they are all wonderful.
It helps me to remember that my favorite creators also have favorite creators that they look up to and that even they have room for improvement and that even they have bad days or weeks or months when they flounder and donāt feel satisfied with what they create. Growth is not a linear process, and beauty is possible even in our ugliest periods of struggle.
There is no one writing or art style that is The Bestā¢ļø, and talent/skill can manifest in different ways. Whether you try to mimic a style you admire or create something completely unique to you, your work will still have your fingerprints all over it, and they are good fingerprints, and they are yours and no one elseās, and your work will be valuable and beautiful because of them.
In the end, all that matters is that people enjoy what you created and, most importantly, that you as a creator found fulfillment in creating it. Thatās the point of creatingāto express yourself in a way only you can and to find meaning in that expression. Even if that meaning is just to unwind after a long day or enjoy some time thinking about your favorite characters or laugh at your own stupid joke.
I hope all you lovely creators know how much you are valued, even when youāre in a low. Putting something you made out there for the world to judge can be really scary, especially when youāre not feeling confident in the first place. But things donāt have to be perfect for people to love and enjoy them. And honestly, as an imperfect creator, I find it strangely encouraging when I spot flaws in something I admire. Because it reminds me that Iām not the only one whoās still growing. And if I can love a flawed piece of work that much, then other people can enjoy my flawed work too. Weāre all works in progress, and we can create amazing things no matter where we are in our creative journey.
I guess what Iām really trying to say is ...
@ creators: youāre doing amazing, sweetie šš Be proud, and donāt give up.

list of favorite things as a fanfic author:
When someone is really freaking mad at me for inducing an emotional response from them
when readers give me a background of how/when they read my writing
when readers give me a background of why they shouldnāt have been reading my writing (usually while at work)
when readers quote my work back to me in comments
the frickinā real heroes here, the ones who comment on every chapter of an ongoing multi-chapter fic
