#<- if you don't know what a fic is go there and itll be explained

[productofaritual]

(INTRO BEGINS UNDER THE DIVIDER) Tumblr doesn't let u pin multiple posts, so here's some posts I would pin too if I could :D

About fanfics of my fanfics

Watch me go insane in real time(currently paused)

Crazy? I was crazy once

More about asks

More about me but in the form of a bad joke

Art (and not just art) resources

Nd hacks (pinning this also for myself)

Intro? Intro. I've decided to actually engage with OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. Sometimes. Occasionally. To talk about my silly little thoughts and silly little writing.

Agender, any pronouns/terms except it/its (neutral preferred), Aroace

I'm working on an original book called "Bound By Name". It has its own tag and if you want to know about it, be sure to check out #Bound By Name (intro post about it here) (I don't post much about it but I am in the process of writing!)

Author/fanfic writer

Bilingual (English/Czech)

My ao3

Askbox always open! Speak to me! Also if you have fic prompts or ideas you think I'd like/want me to write, throw them in there too!

DMs always open but say what you want right in the first message because I might not answer or panic block

Spam liking/reblogging/commenting is A-OK. I love to see people enjoying my silly little posts

Moot = can interact anytime all the time as much as they like I literally can't say how much I appreciate all of them

I mainly write SBI and beeduo (yes, in 2025) and talk about random stuff

All of my fics are strictly about the characters! All of them! Every single one!

Way more WIPs than completed works

Expect me talking about discontinued works, unfinished works, or those on hiatus, but I'll only be posting the finished ones on ao3! That's why they're taking so long

I only write for the DSMP fandom but some of my other interests include: Welcome to Nightvale, D&D, Detroit: Become Human, EPIC: The Musical, Project SEKAI(occasionally), Wuthering Waves, The Magnus Archives/Protocol

CRINGE IS FUCKING DEAD DO WHAT YOU WANT

DNI: Basic DNI, just don't be weirdchamp and we'll probably get along. I really don't think I mind anyone with basic human decency. If I dislike something you do I'll just block

Not siding with anyone on any cc drama ever. All I'll say is do your research and base your opinions on concrete proof and verified facts. I might have my own opinion, but I will not be voicing it.

Blinkies and tag sorting under cut!

Tag sorting (started 22.05.2024 so anything earlier isn't gonna have them. Also I just forget to add them sometimes)

#textpost.bzzt - generic post that I made. Includes asks because I don't get enough of them to justify making a separate tag

#rbees.bzzt - reblogs. Can you tell I'm proud of that pun?

#artbees.bzzt - specifically art reblogs. Can you tell I'm even more proud of that pun? (I tend to reblog art multiple times, only one will be tagged)

#fandom.bzzt - fandom related posts. Can be any fandom. Reblogs won't have it, mainly because I'm lazy

#mootsies.bzzt - anything related to my mutuals

#personal.bzzt - stuff that might be a bit more personal/talking about my personal life. No I'm not doxxing myself, just talking about my pets or experiences or whatever

#writing.bzzt - anything writing related

#onceinafullmoonramble.bzzt - my once in a full moon rambles. They're longer than my usual posts and can be about literally anything

#horizonverse.bzzt - anything related to the fanfic series "Event Horizon" by Hellenite on ao3. Will not be tagged with fandom or fic tags most of the time because I don't wanna spam them. I didn't have any part in the creation of it, it's just my special interest

#genshin dsmp fusion - a random au I post about that features the DSMP as a new genshin region and the members as playable characters! It's not a fic and I don't plan on writing it into one, I'm just rambling about my ideas for it. Also mind this when reading about it!

[fall0utmind]

first i think you should do whatever your heart tells you about the medical leak ending i will read it no matter what for sure and i think others would too

i think no matter what itll be a different perspective even if its a bit similar

second i was writing and i was like oh u know this would be crazy in that marcnaia fic

so like what if after like idk a particularly intense scene or moment and peccos trying to take care of him but marcs super out of it and he just starts crying begging him not to make him leave like please dont make me leave please let me stay ill be good etc

and peccos horrified of course but also somewhat homicidal

idk idk is that too awful i was just thinking about it

anyway love all ur writing uwu looking forward to the medical leak epilogue and dovquez version much love <3

Anon, this is so kind! Thank you!!

I'm hoping that I toe that fine line between a big change and a subtle different very well.

In regards to the marcnaia!!!!!

Wow! Am I going to turn this fic into a multi part series so I can include some people's ideas about their dom/sub undertones... quite possible after this ask...

SO YES

Pecco is leaving to get a wash cloth because he's a good person and a good (soft) dom. And marc (still barely vocalising) instantly reaches out and grabs peccos wrist, panicked eyes wrenching open. Pecco tries to hush him, to explain where he's going, but marc is so far out of it and so convinced he's going to be abandoned that he just chokes on a sob, begging pecco not to leave.

Pecco manages to wrangle himself out of marc clutches but instantly returns to his side with a wet wash cloth and gently tries to get marc into a seated position, reaching for a bottle of water, getting ready to hold it to his lips so he can drink without choking. (Like i said- a good dom!!!!!)

But marc properly loses it then.

"Please don't make me go. Not like this. I'll be good. I'll be better next time, I promise. Please just don't leave me. Dont make me go out there alone now - it's horrible, please, please. I can be better. I can be whatever you want, and I can take whatever you want."

Pecco is looking down at Marc, initially in confusion, because the words are slurring together, half Spanish, half Italian. But then it clicks.

Marc thinks he's going to get him up and kick him out. At first he's jusy shocked, because why on earth would marc think that. He tries to get to Marc's level, to explain, but marc, still firmly in subspace, won't hear it. Sl pecco does the next best thing, leans into it, orders marc to drink, orders him to lie down (marc complies easily, so easily) and wraps himself around the smaller man, holding him tight and hoping it's enough.

It's only once marcs shaking subsides, after 20 ish minutes (it took him a long time to resurface, still terrfied and stuck in subspace because of it) that it hits pecco. Rage instamtly fills him, because someone did that to marc. And pecco has a good guess about who someone is. He vows to never let Marc feel that way again (and then decides to knock a certain someone off their bike the next time he's forced to the ranch!)

Brilliant idea- truly.

Thank you so much for this 🫶🏼🫶🏼

okok i have a few questions all related to the same topic

SO we know from how parrot is clearly a bird hybrid, and how branzy can just eat nether brewing supplies, there are hybrids or different humanoid species in this world

what kind of hybrid is Branzy? Does it have any physical changes to his appearance (like horns, a tail, etc)

Is Clown a hybrid? It would explain how hes been doubted to be human before. We also dont know a lot about his general appearance like skin tone and whatnot, all we know is the hair texture and color (curly, black)

(Continuing off that) How long is Clowns hair? Does he need to put it up in the mornings when getting ready, or is it short and choppy because its a bother? (Additionally, whats his hair care routine?)

Are the fake ears (?) that Kab wear seen as offensive to some? Maybe a mockery, or something?

sorry for the massive yapping THIS IS FOR ART PURPOSES I WANNA BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE WHEN MAKING FANART !!!!!

HI THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS I SHALL ANSWER AS GOOD AS I CAN!

to the question of what hybrid branzy is i am going to be a little bastard and say i wont tell :3 itll be relevant later. but as far as physical features go i kiiiind of left it vague purposefully. mostly because in mcyt the designs of the characters are based on skins and all vary a lot and i wanted people to be able to read it and just have their own pictures of the characters. that being said, in my head branzy's non-human traits are purple eyes, white hair and horns (not canon, i never mentioned this in the fic, no one else has either, it's literally just ingrained in my head that he has horns). i know that's kind of a mess😭😭😭 but bear with me here i didn't start thinking about the elements of magical worldbuilding until like… chapter 9… this is the bad side of planning as you go

is clown a hybrid? i'll leave it to him to explain that at some point! :D

hair routine question made me laugh. i don't have a hair care routine. i dont know what part of having hair really demands an established routine. i cant answer it😭😭 im sorry ;-;

the fake ears question was so interesting it forced me to think about the culture of this world which forced me to think about the history but anyway. kab's situation is the same as branzy's where she just Looks Like That. but the ears are fake to me. and i dont thiiiink it's seen as offensive or a mockery. my idea is that this world has such weird genetics that people just dont care if someone dresses a certain way. i am now starting to realise that this doesn't reflect the real world at all. point is. to me this world, or at least the city, has a live and let live attitude. new headcanon just dropped. the city has the most diverse population of any city in the world so there's a lot more tolerance. maybe if you went out to smaller towns…. aaaand now its getting real world-y.

i realise now that you said these questions were for art purposes and i just went "so here are my reasons for some holes in the worldbuilding"

also ill answer the question about clowns nails here too! yes he has gloves on and yes i used nails as a descriptor at some point!! that's on me. sometimes when im writing a sentence like that im just like "well, this is sloppy and can easily be misunderstood but also I NEED THIS DOONE." what i imaged with that scene is just that the fabric of clowns gloves being just thin enough for branzy to feel the nails though.

i cant imagine any of my answers here giving you any clarity on the art thing and im so sorry for that hfskjhfdkjshfdkjs ONTO THE NEXT ASK 🫡🫡

[frostyclove]

hi! sorry for popping out of the sudden, but i've seen you giving advice to one of my moots, and couldn't help but wonder if you can give me one, too, if that's not much bother.

i want to start posting fics, but don't know how to start (feeling how i'm gonna fuck it up, that it's not gonna end well, that i'm lacking a vocabulary, but i do know how to write, just that sometimes it gets overwhelming for me to write many things at the same time). i dunno if i explained it well, sorry in advance for the bother.

have a nice day / evening, and thank you!!

oh my god its actually been a dream of mine since i was like 15 to eventually become a fandom elder and i feel like thats whats happening so thanks for the opportunity lol (im serious the concept is just silly)

im not gonna lie, i dont write fics. they scare me. i started with a novel... about lesbian vampires so its basically a fic though right?

step one is to just start writing. its the most annoying advice. its the most common advice. unfortunately, its the best advice. my favorite writer has this one piece of advice - you're gonna write 100 things. you're gonna hate all 100. but then you'll write the next 100. and you wont hate it as much. He then references his first season of my favorite show. and said he hated his work and called them bad scripts. Im talking about steven moffat, who was insulting season 5 of doctor who. a phenomenal season. All that to say, you literally cannot judge your own work, unfortunately. I call it the writers curse, i dont know if that an actual term or not, i probably did not come up with it.

step two is to keep writing. annoying. i know. but its the only way. maybe reading? but those two things are the only things that will help with the issues you've mentioned (which are really common dont stress), but like on the vocabulary thing, just literally sitting there going 'i wonder if a word about __ exists" and then googling around trying to find a new words with the definition you want exists. or synonym books. i have a book thats literally just an emotions thesaurus. Its one of those things that only by putting yourself into it are you going to be able to improve (annoying, i know!!)

thing three - write one thing at a time. i dont mean finish one thing at a time. just, write one thing at a time. let your brain focus. at most scribble notes down for other projects while working on one. its the whole 5 minutes thing, if you can just get a bit done at a time itll eventually add up and multiple things will be completed. if that makes sense that was a clunky sentence lol.

Anyways, as you can see, i struggle to write concisely, but hopefully some of that is helpful. if its not, feel free to dm me i do think mine are open :)

Explaining MidnightMansion!Au Background!

Whats included in this is basically the background lore for the Au, there monster traits will not be explained in this but the characters will be mentioned

More detail under the cut!

MidnightMansion!Au is basically a Gothic Victorian styled mansion stuck in a rip in time. Once you enter the premises you cannot leave even if you retrace your steps back out of the forest, itll eventually just loop back in front of the house. It is perpetually a dark night there and what surrounds the mansion is an dense forest with a big lake where the sea monsters dwell. (More on them later)

How this mansion came into being and how it got stuck like that is due to Shu and Rei. They are powerful vampires and they were attempting to create a spell, basically making them masters over time but it backfired. Instead their mansion and the area around became stuck in time, luckily due to their magic the house always has food on hand along with other necessitys. Ritsu was also in the mansion during the spell so he is stuck there too.

What they didnt know is that the mansion would sometimes appear to other people, who once they entered the place would transform into monsters, stuck there with them too. Weirdly enough the house would gain rooms when someone joined and so would the house number go up.

This brings to the question, how would they escape the mansion? A willing human sacrifice is needed, basically meaning someone who is immune to the transformation magic which is you! Although forming bonds with each of them makes the task of freeing them that much harder when they don't want you to die.

Overall, the au is just making friends (and fuck buddies) with the monsters and maybe forming romantic attractions with them.

I will be posting more about the Enstars characters and what type of monsters they are with information about their abilities along with fics hopefully soon. Anyways I hope you enjoy this au I'm making!

Pairing :: Corpse Husband x GN! Reader

Requested :: Anon

Summary :: Corpse just wanted someone to be with this lonely summer night, he didn't expect that someone to be a mermaid but he's not complaining

Warning/s :: Swearing, hand injury, blood, angst in the end

A/N :: I hope you guys like this, especially to the Anon that requested this! This honestly turned into more like a short one shot rather than a drabble and it's a little rushed so I hope that's okay! Taglist (for all my future Corpse fics and my one multi-chaptered fic) and Requests are open

Corpse sighed as he lays on the cold and wet floor of the cave he found earlier that day while looking for a place to stay out of the birthday beach party. It was getting too crowdy for his taste.

Don't get him wrong, he'd love nothing more than to celebrate Poki's birthday along with the others, his friend deserved a fun and happy time but with his phobia? He doesn't do well with parties. Especially one that has a lot of people invited. The thought of being around so many people at once makes his skin crawl, so after a quick excuse, he left the party and walked around the beach, eventually finding the cave in which he is currently laying in.

A growl of frustration left his mouth as the sinking feeling won't leave his chest. He usually loves being alone, just him and his sometimes not so nice thoughts. But right now?

He feels so fucking lonely.

It feels like he can't stand being alone now but at the same time, the thought of going back to the party full of too many people partying scares the shit out of him.

My heart is pierced by Cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

A sudden soothing voice echoed from further into the cave, passing into his ears and swirling in his head, calming the previous tormenting feeling in his chest.

Who was that?

With his silent desperation for company, Corpse couldn't resist the temptation and curiosity to find out where that voice comes from. Standing up from his place, he ventured into the dark cave, the echoes of the voice and the small moon light from outside as his only guide. He hopes he wouldn't misstep and fall into the pool at the end of the cave, it looked pretty deep when he found it earlier that day.

The echoes of the voice stopped but even with the deafening silence, he marched on, determined to see who was blessed with such an angelic voice. He felt his hand slip on the sharp rock that he was gripping but he felt no pain, the sting wasn't there even as he can barely see the shine of the blood dripping from the wound on his palm. He decided to ignore the injury for now, he can just treat it once he gets back to the beach house later.

Steadying his feet on the rocky and slippery ground, he looked up and couldn't stop the gasp that left his mouth. Was this real? Or did he actually slip earlier and hit his head hard enough that he's hallucinating? To be honest, the latter seems more logical and believable for him because there is no way this could be real.

Lounging on the raised platform in the middle of the pool was the most gorgeous person (creature?) he has ever seen. Silky short/long (hair color) locks, piercing (eye color) eyes that seems to glow brightly in the dimly lit cave, smooth (skin color) skin that are devoid of scars, and a glistening (tail color) tail, half of it still submerged in the dark waters, gently swaying as the merfolk was completely relaxed.

Corpse has heard of the legends of the beach, hell, he even narrated a story all about it once in his channel! He didn't expect it to be true-

"Oh? What brings you to my little nest? It has been many moons since I've seen a human venture in here."

The same soothing voice came from the creature, yet their mouth didn't move. Their lips still in the same inviting soft smile, eyes watching his every move. Their voice seems to echo in his head and that should have triggered something in him! His anxiety, his flight/fight response, anything! But for once, they're quiet. And Corpse honestly doesn't know if that's a good or bad thing.

"Would you continue your song?" he's surprised at how steady his voice sounded, with how dazed he feels at the moment, he was pretty sure he would've slurred his words. A gentle laugh left the creature's mouth, their eyes glinting with amusement. They like this human.

"For you, little one, I will. If you'll take off your mask"

Corpse did so immediately, practically ripping the mask off his face and throwing it in the pool. The merfolk let out another melodic laugh, pleased at how eager the human was at hearing their voice.

There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold

At the last note, they reached out their hand towards the awe-struck humans. Corpse observed the hand, it was smooth and fragile looking. Their nails were sharp and dark. It didn't scare him, like nothing about this whole scenario was scaring him.

Without any further hesitation, he reached out and-

"Where's Corpse? Has he been found yet?" Valkyrae, or Rae for short, read out loud. She was streaming at the moment, playing Valorant alongside her friends and having a good time.

Well, trying to have a good time.

"No, he still hasn't been found yet. It was a hard search, we have no clue on where he could be other than his mask that we found in the cave somewhere on the beach." She sadly explained, her heart breaking as some of her missing friend's fans showed their despair in her chat.

She understood how they feel. Of course she does, the man was her best friend for goodness' sake!

She can still the moment they realized he was missing so vividly, it's been months since then but it feels like it just happened yesterday. She remembered Sykkuno desperately asking her for confirmation that Corpse has just fallen asleep in the beach but her silence answered him. She remembered how Toast never stopped trying to call his cellphone that day, only to find his phone dead inside his bag that was left in their room.

Randomuser: there is a legend in that beach yk, that a mermaid lives in that same cave and if it likes you, itll take you with it

Rae sighed as she silently read that comment, she and her friends has been getting those comments a lot ever since the announcement of Corpse going missing was posted. She didn't believe it, it sounded absurd! A mermaid, really? It's just a stupid urban legend that in no logical way can be true!

...right?

A/N: Hello! Thank you for reading this! I actually got invested to this request and I'm wondering, would you guys like to see this as a fic? Just a 3-5 chapters long fic?

For the fic ask game, 8, 11, 20 for yssdf, and 49!!!

hello!! thank you!!!!

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)? SO many of them. chemistry by all time low comes to mind first, one day i'll write that fic. i've been dying to ever since i heard it for the first time and that has not changed but i have to like, Be Prepared for it.

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is? .....yes to both. i am partial to jalex they just come more naturally to me but i think i am now more equal-opportunity especially for 5sos fic. you wouldnt know it by looking at my ao3 though! because back when i first started writing i wrote a LOT of lashton and malum, especially a lot of prompts, so when you look at the numbers they vastly outnumber, like, cashton and muke. but now when i write i try to be more impartial. that being said, it's easy for me to say i don't have a bias but obviously i'm a little close to the situation. but i try to be fair in my fic distribution. not that i'm writing a ton of 5sos fic these days anyway but WHEN i do.

20. If you wrote a prequel to you seem so damn familiar, what would it involve? answered here and the answer is i don't think a prequel would be interesting at all lol what do yall want a prequel for so bad? fine ill give you a different answer. this is exclusive content. so there's this part of chapter 5:

and there is actually a story behind the scribbled nonsense. like. it has a perfectly reasonable backstory. i came up with it specifically so that if anyone ever asked, i'd have an answer. i'm not going to tell you the whole story but it involves the boys at the marble mansion and a swimming pool. and it's pretty cute. :) but i don't really think this would count as a prequel because as a standalone scene it would have absolutely nothing to do with the plot of yssdf!!! it's just...a moment in their lives!!! i don't know.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it! anon, i really wish i could say that i'm currently working on fic exchange, but that would be a lie. right now i would say i'm "working on" two things, a very long thing and a shorter thing. here's a bit from the longer thing:

“That explains why nobody’s said anything rude to me yet,” Ashton says.

“We can change that,” Jack says. “What are you doing here, slacker? Freeloader? Go drive your golf cart around or whatever.”

“Thank you,” Ashton says dryly. “Now I feel right at home.”

i don't want to say too much about the fic itself but i am praying itll be done soon and then i can post it and it'll be great

questions for fic writers

[yeoldontknow]

do you have any tips for writing? Your writing is the best i've ever read, and I'm not exaggerating. I really want to be better, but i don't know how to improve. Is writing something you can improve in or is it just something you're born with?

hello anon~~ 

heres the thing: some people are born with a natural proclivity towards a certain skill. like you can be born with a good singing voice if it runs in your family or something - but that does not necessarily mean you are born being celine dion. you still have to work to hone your craft, practice, engage in ongoing trial and error. every talent or craft is something that needs to be continuously worked on - like a muscle! if you dont do the thing for a while, itll revert back to a previous state you might not be happy with. so, while you CAN be born skilled at something, no one is born perfect. AND YES. there are many things you can do to help yourself improve <3 

below are some things that i do to help improve my writing. keep in mind they might not all be applicable, these are just things ive learned over the years that can help. putting it all under a cut not to clog dashes <3 

- read. honestly, most of the authors/writers i admire are also avid readers. when you read a book or a fic or something, your vocabulary naturally expands. certain authors use certain words to describe things, others have various stylistic choices that determine how their story is paced. someone like hemingway might use very brief, short sentence with words that have high impact; while someone like isaac marion might use many sentences to get the same feeling across. its important you read BOTH authors because this will help you develop a style in your own writing, will help your own vocabulary grow - hemingway might say ‘the red seat looked like a feast’; isaac marion might say ‘the seat looked as though it were bleeding, and it made R terribly, terribly hungry.’ same sentiment - different way of explaining something (*note: those are not actual quotes, im just using an example idk) 

reading also helps your imagination expand!!

- consume various forms of media/art. what i mean by consume is just engage with different types of arts. listen to music - music ALWAYS helps me get inspired, either in the sound or in the lyrics. and its to a point where i cannot write if the music/soundtrack isnt right. watch tv or films - i can assure you that hero is only as gritty as it is because i was watching sense8 while writing it. show is dark and foreboding constantly, and it definitely helped me structure my mindset to be in that world. 

for both reading and tv and music - i dont mean copy the work. dont ever do that. that is plagiarism. but these things all help a person get inspired or feel creative or help them visualize a certain thing for their story. 

- destroy the blank word doc. its easy to fear a blank document. EVERYONE fears the empty word doc. something about all that white is terribly imposing and threatening and you immediately start to doubt yourself. its like looking into a void. so how do we combat that? put down a sentence or three. WHO CARES IF THEY ARE GROSS? the void certainly doesnt, the void is just like ‘wtf these words are so itchy’ and youre like ‘fuckin...deal with it.’ put down sentences for your story and get rid of that blank page. these are not final sentences, you are going to edit them. do you know how many times chapter 13 of hero has been edited? literally, over 5 at this point. i cant seem to get it right AND THATS OK!! because i will! and you will too! just throw some shit onto a page and then go back and change it. (more on this later)

- start in the middle. while its also easy to be intimidated by a blank word doc, its also easy to be intimidated by not knowing where to start. if you have a great idea of the middle of your chapter - WRITE THAT PART FIRST!! if you get inspired by a dialogue or by a vision you have, you will kill it almost instantly by going ‘ok but i have to get them there first’ and then trying to wrap your mind around it. immediately, the mood dies and it feels like pulling teeth to get some words down because thats not what your muse wants you to be thinking about. so, write that cool scene first. i PROMISE once its out, more will come. the ending of chapter 7 for hero was written before chapter 6 AND before even the start of 7. WRITE WHAT INSPIRES YOU AND I PROMISE MORE WILL COME!!

- edit, edit, edit. so. you started in the middle, drafted your Cool Scene and burned the white doc down. AMAZING GO YOU!! but youre not done. you have to edit that. the first thing your mind brings forth will not (not saying it cant but when youre trying to burn down a doc it likely isnt) be the final thing you release to the public. once you have your cool scene down, go back and edit. fill it in. make it better and pretty. change some words, fix your typos. when you think its great, move onto something else and THEN GO BACK. AND FIX IT AGAIN. i edit at least 3 times before i post something. no one ever puts a perfect thing down that they like first time round, and the only time thats ever happened to me was when i wrote pusher in a fit of GLORIOUS INSPIRATION THAT LIKELY WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

- have a friend read your work/be a hype man. rome was not build in a day and certainly was not built by one man alone. if you have a friend in the fandom or community, or even just a friend you trust enough to share work with, SHARE IT WITH THEM. my housemate likes kpop, but does not care nearly enough about it as i do, and also has no inclination to write fanfic whatsoever. BUT. hes super supportive of me and LOVES reading whatever i write - especially hero. sharing your work with a friend to get their opinion is the most vulnerable you will ever be but its EXCITING. i shared hero with him and all at once he was giving me tips on weapons and how the ear responds to gunfire and like his random interest in military strategy has helped guide hero so much. so while you might be shy, your friend might be dumb excited and become an incredible plot bunny. 

and lastly the biggest tip i can give you is: 

do not compare yourself to other writers. EVERY SINGLE PERSON has a different life experience or reason of interest that drives them to writing. for me and a few others, its therapy. for others, its simply a way to pass the time. for all of us: it is fun. keep this fun. comparing yourself to someone else almost instantly ruins any enjoyment you can get out of it. if i walked into this fandom expecting to be The Best, i certainly would not ever be that (gross, who does that anyway) and i certainly wouldnt be having fun. comparison pressures you unnecessarily and also taints your enjoyment of the fandom. write, enjoy what you write, DO NOT WRITE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PLEASING OTHER PEOPLE, and accept the fact that sometimes its going to be hard. BUT IT WILL ALWAYS. BE. FUN. so pls dont compare yourself. im an old fart who has been writing for a long time. walking in here and going ‘omfg im not that i cant be that jesus’ is not good! no, my hun. you will not be me. YOU WILL BE YOU. AND THATS EVEN BETTER!!!!

i hope this helped you dove <3

[protectmarkjin]

Sorry if my question made you uncomfortable. I just never got around to reading the last chapter of purple lilac promises so it's really killing me because I don't know what happens. Maybe you could fill me in instead? Also why did you delete it? I only recently started following you so im sorry if you've explained yourself before :(

no its ok dont worry abt it! i just currently dont have an ao3 account and i’m not sure if i wanna put my writing back out there just yet :-/ basically i lost like all my confidence in my writing (which wasn’t much to begin with lmao) n hated everything i had written n deleted all my fics n i think ive even deleted the word documents as well bc im an insecure idiot lmaoooo but yea basically the last chapter was jinyoung n mark talking out their past n their issues n stuff n agreeing to give things a go n mark decides to go home to america for a while n asks jinyoung to go w him so they can work on their relationship :-) but if it makes u feel any better im working on an idea right now n i rlly like it so i hope itll come to fruition!
