LynMars FFXIV Write 2023 Master Post

This year's challenge completed! Congrats to everyone who wrote anything at all this month, even if just one prompt! Thanks again to @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast for 7 years of this!

Only 2 short shippy prompts all month! All 4 modern girls got a couple spotlights, various family cameos and backstories, a future prompt as is tradition, Zaine had a few posts, a few NPC-only scenes, a LOT of Endwalker, and even Ancient Icarus got a story, tying into 2021's "Destruct" prompt and how/why the siblings' souls have been connected through time and reincarnations.

A few of these are alternate takes on scenes I've touched on before, but it's interesting what a new prompt at a different time can get one to say, how we change as writers in what we focus on and how we say it.

This comes in roughly 300 words shorter than last year, at 18,493. The week of the 18-22 I had off work for my birthday, and that had the most 1k+ prompts, with a word count nearly double the other 3 full weeks. While the longer prompts are good, I'm really happy with how so many of the short ones turned out!

I was again trying to be realistic about my time, energy, not pushing free write days...and also working on an original writing project on the side, so I actually did do more writing over the month, just not FFXIV related!

(Also why some of my responses were in just under the wire...)

But this was a good break and exercise from that other writing, and let me try a few new things.

And comparing to earlier years--especially 2017 and 2018 when I was getting back onto the writing horse and feeling out my OCs--I feel like my growth as a writer, especially to be more succinct yet still evocative when needed, is evident. I've gotten a lot of practice in over time, and this challenge is one of the things that helped me get to where I can write an original story on top of my fanfic!

Breakdowns for funsies: Longest: 21 Grave; 1,652 words Shortest: 14 Clear; 106 words

Between 100-500 words: 1 Envoy; 2 Bark; 4 Off the Hook; 5 Barbarous; 7 Noisome; 8 Shed; 14 Clear; 15 Portentous; 26 Last; 27 Sole. Between 500-1000 words: 6 Ring; 11 Once Bitten, Twice Shy; 13 Check; 16 Jerk; 18 Fish Out of Water; 22 Fulsome; 23 Suit; 25 Call it a Day; 28 Blunt; 29 Contravention; 30 Amity. 1000+ words: 9 Fair; 12 Dowdy; 19 Weal; 20 Hamper; 21 Grave.

I didn't look at the totals until the end; I only checked some of the shorter ones during the challenge to see if they hit my personal "500+ words" cut off for adding a Read More to the posts.

"Grave" honestly could have been a lot shorter; I started the plot too early, and much as I like Zaine making one last visit to his childhood Nana, for the purposes of the challenge, I could have just focused on going to the lichyard to save myself time and energy, and wrote about the visit on my own another time. On the other hand, it's done now!

Not sure which is a favorite; there's a lot I like.

As usual, these will be revised at...some point (some more than others, probably) and added to Ao3, in my various series and threads.

3, 13, and 21 for the WIP asks!

AHHH FRIEND!! HI!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

3. How old is your WIP now?

For one of my original works, only us, which I hope to share more about in the future, I started the doc in July 23, 22. And believe me that WIP is FAR from being done 😭 That's definitely not my oldest WIP tho, because I have... so many. More than I can count. And there's a LOT that are MUCH older than that one. I actually just recently finished and posted a Daredevil fanfic that I started way back in June 21, 2021. And finished on August 23 this year. I'm glad I never delete anything or permanently give up on a WIP! LOL

13. Do you already know your title, summary, and tags for your WIP, or are those things you’ll figure out at the end?

Generally I don't know any of these for certain until the end, but sometimes I come up with such a perfect title when I name my doc that it just stays LOL. And yeah sometimes I think ahead what tags I might use. But generally I finalize everything at the end. ESPECIALLY the summary. I only ever write summarises before the end for myself LOL and I never really use that for the actual summary of the finished product.

21. What is a line that makes no sense and/or is funny out of context?

From a new fic I just started writing recently for JK! Studios's Freelancers, there's this wonderful line,

“Well, you know how chameleons can change color?... Well, Devin and I were talking about the cockroaches in the kitchen, and what their names might be, and Devin guessed that—”

LOLLL. Although tbf that line doesn't really make sense at all even with context, so...

Anyway THANK YOU SO MUCH for sending me this ask!!! It was very fun to answer 🥹

if anyone else wants to send me asks about my WIPS, DON'T BE SHY!! Send em my way!!!

Don’t forget to mention that...

Well I never expected this to be the first finished bit of writing I posted here. I promise I’m still writing that other one I’ve hinted at, I just want it to be perfect!! I actually wrote this back in August and was re-reading it and thought: huh its not bad so edited it a bit and here we are. (this is literally the 2nd fanfic I’ve ever written as well as g/t piece and I haven’t even finished the first so please be kind qwq)  This was inspired by an artwork that @dingbatnix created! Original post here  I hope you like it ❤️

cw: mcyt g/t, soft, slight panic, mention of death man I hope that’s right

word count:  2375

“A nap in the sun would be nice right about now.” George said as he made his way to the top of a big red toadstool. Winter was fast approaching and the time for napping in the sun would soon be over while the cold months of snow and ice overtake the world. George didn’t mind the thought of snow though. I mean, when you’re 2 inches tall, snow isn’t exactly your friend when even a light powder can have you buried and frozen alive. It was going to be tougher to find food and shelter soon too. Part of him wishes he hadn’t left the colony; that he had stayed with his own kind rather than travel the vast world. But he had lost his parents long ago and had never made any real friends back home, so what real attachment did he have in staying? So George had instead chosen a life of adventure. He’d been wandering the forest and plains for a few years now. Learning about its hidden wonders and knowledge unknown. While he wasn’t exactly born for magic, he had certainly picked up the odd spell or two. He had once befriended a size-shifting fire-born demon named Sapnap, that he had spent the winters with in the past and learnt some basic spells anyone with enough practice could use. Although he had never actually seen his friend's bigger form, he missed Sapnap dearly. He had left to go meet with an old friend of his for a while and George had decided he wanted to continue to explore. But whilst George was curious and loved discovering new things, he tended to stay away from anything larger than a bush. Or if he was being more specific; Humans. When you live in a world that’s 100x bigger than you, sentient beings 100x bigger with it are terrifying. He’d seen the destruction beings of such caliber could cause. If they wanted to, they could tear through trees with massive iron blades, light fires and cause havoc in an instant. But at worst? They’d stamp out life in a heartbeat. And while you think they may only be stories told to young children to keep them within the safety of the colony walls, George had seen it first hand. His parents had hidden him in a small grotto before leading the monsters away. And because of that, he’d never actually encountered a human in person. That was definitely something he could be grateful for. He’d only seen a little of what had happened to his parents before they had passed and he had opted to drown out the sounds of destruction rather than watch it in horror. Who knew it would be the last time he would ever see them. He missed them dearly but was thankful that in all his time traveling, he’d never seen a human and hopefully never would. Hope might have been an understatement….

George placed his little toadstool hat to the side of him as he removed his satchel from over his shoulder. He brushed over it lightly, a small smile gracing his face as he reminisced in fondness. He had fought with Sapnap over how to do smaller stitches rather than big uneven ones that left room for holes, rambling on how his attention to detail was just George being picky similar to his other friend. George then smoothed out his moss cloak to lie on and laid back onto the toadstool, resting on his back using one hand to cushion his head. His other hand fiddling idly  with his light blue shirt. He adjusted his white rimmed goggles on his face with delicate care and closed his eyes as the warmth of the evening sun shone upon him. It’s ray’s practically dancing along his skin as it warmed each cell of his very being. It was nice. On rare occasions he would find himself being able to enjoy the sun like this. Too often this world was out to get him and yet somehow he would find the odd times that he could let himself drift away in bliss. Drift away…. Maybe to sleep? Yeah, that sounded nice. 

George continued to keep his eyes closed and began to focus on the sounds around him. Despite his loud and rowdy personality, Sapnap had shown him how to enjoy moments like these. He missed him dearly. Perhaps their paths would cross again during the winter? It was unlikely since he could size shift and had said his friend traveled around a lot, but George was happy for him. A small part of George wished he had stayed with him. Sapnap had even offered for George to accompany him and meet his friend, always saying how he thought they would get along so well and how much he knew they would just love George. But the fact that Sapnap was a size shifter implied that his friend was also one and that scared George. He wasn’t ready for that no matter how much Sapnap insisted that they wouldn’t harm him. George shook away those thoughts for now though, because he was going to drift away. Just for a bit… 

The sounds of rustling leaves in the breeze began to get fainter as George felt himself lulling off to sleep, the sun continuing to blanket him in its warmth. He was almost asleep when he suddenly felt the surface beneath him move. ‘Probably the wind’ he thought. Then it moved again. ‘Okay maybe there’s a deer nearby. That’s ok.’ And again. George opened his eyes slowly. “So close to a nap” he grumbled. The toadstool shook again. George’s mind quickly came back to reality. He could hear the steady sound of massive footsteps approaching as his world began to shake over and over. “Ok, maybe not a deer.” George said out loud as he slung his satchel back on and his hat. Whatever was coming was big and that was never good. The footsteps continued to come closer and the shaking worsened. The steps were timed and even, something that animals rarely did. Whatever this was wasn’t an animal. “Oh no.” George said as the realization dawned on him. “Please don’t be that. Oh please anything but that.”

George raced to slide off the top of the toadstool. He was practically exposed if he didn’t get off there fast enough! He managed to make it off the top and landed to the ground with a thud as the sound of tree branches parted. The sound of footsteps ceased right in front of where George was hidden beneath the toadstool. Not a single sound followed. Carefully, George peered his head around the side of the Toadstool and let out a small gasp. In front of him mere inches away was a giant boot. Starring up and up at the giant being before him was his worst nightmare. A human. The man wore a bright green hoodie, blonde hair just in view peeking out from behind a white smiley face mask that covered most of his face from view. But the most terrifying thing about this being was the black shiny purple axe he held in his hand. He’d seen weapons like that before. It was an enchanted netherite axe: one of the most dangerous weapons in existence, and it was held by a human. 

“Hello? Is someone there?” It said.

George slapped himself in the face as he clasped his hands over his mouth. What a fool he was. He was trapped with the only cover being the toadstool. The next closest cover was too far away to run too without being exposed and even if he ran, the human would probably reach him within seconds. He stayed perfectly still. It felt as if he moved even slightly the toadstool would disappear and he’d be discovered. The human had yet to move. George could only imagine it was scanning the area searching for something. Someone. Him. Carefully he peered out from under the toadstool, trying to get a better idea of what the human was doing. Said human had its back turned to where George was and as predicted was scanning the area looking and listening intently. He watched as the human turned its head slowly as it scanned the area once more. As it began to get closer to looking in his direction, George ducked back out of view. His breathing picked up a little as he did so but he focused on the matter at hand. There’s no way the human saw him right? Right?!? Without warning, the toadstool was suddenly yanked up out of the ground and into the air. George shrieked, eyes wide as his only cover was ripped away leaving him completely exposed and at the mercy of the human. The human and George suddenly fell deathly still, shocked by each other’s presence. Even though the human wore a mask, George could still feel the human's eyes burning a hole through his soul. It had found him. What was he going to do now?

“Wow.” The human whispered in amazement. “Look at you.” Well George didn’t care how amazed the human sounded, his words were enough to snap him out of his frozen state and make a dash for cover. “WAIT! NO! Come back!” The human yelled as he suddenly made a move for him. George ran for the closest bush he could find. He didn’t care where he hid, anything was better than being in the open at the humans mercy. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it far before a large hand gripped itself around his body. He wasn’t held overly tight but it still felt suffocating. It was too warm, too big, too strong! All it would take is one good squeeze and the human could pop George’s head off! 

George tried kicking and thrashing in the Humans hand. His arms were pinned to his body so he was limited but anything was better than nothing in hopes of getting the human to let him go. He felt gravity shift as the human lifted him up higher and higher from the ground. Sapnap had tried to take him flying on a bird once and he had not enjoyed it being up so high. Finally, the grasp loosened around George and he found himself sitting cupped in both the humans massive hands. The human still wore the mask but while he couldn’t make out the human's eyes, he now felt as if it was studying him over. Taking in every last detail of his appearance and it was terrifying. “You’re actually real.” The human said as he poked him with a finger. George hugged his legs to his chest and curled in on himself, willing himself to just disappear. “Please let me go.” He whispered out. He could feel tears pricking at the corner of his eyes. He didn’t want to meet the same gruesome fate his parents had. Maybe if he was obedient it would show him mercy? “I’ll do whatever you want, please just let me go!

“Hurt you?? Oh no, is that what you think I’m going to do?” The human said the sound of disbelief coating his voice. “I just can’t believe you’re actually real. I thought all this time he was just making you up.” George dared to open his eyes. The human still had its mask on but somehow he looked calmer, gentler. “But still, he never said just how small you were. You barely even fit in the palm of my hand.” 

Now it was George’s turn to be in a state of disbelief. This human was speaking as if it knew George but couldn’t believe he existed. That someone had told him about himself. “What do you mean ‘He’ was making me up? Who on earth are you talking about??” George asked. “Oh Sapnap did. He kept going on about how he met this tiny person called George and that you used to live together.” The human replied. “He always goes on about how much we’d get along and how much I’d like you.”

Sapnap? SAPNAP?!?! This was the friend he was always talking about?!?!?! A human friend. How had Sapnap failed to mention the one most important detail that his friend was a human? Sure he’d said that his friend wouldn’t hurt him but never once had he mentioned or implied that his friend was Human. George began to fume. “I’m going to murder him first chance I get!” George yelled. “He never said you were a human! He always said the same thing to me too about how great you were and that we could be like some dumb Dream Team!” George said steaming.

“Really? I rather like the name Dream Team.” The human said, laughing a bit at the end. “Then again, I’m biased with my name literally being Dream.”

“Wait, your name is Dream???” George said as he stared up at Dream, the apparent human. “Wait he didn’t tell you my name? Oh Sapnap’s an idiot I swear.” George laughed in response. “Oh don’t I know it.” They both laughed for a bit at the dumbness of their friend. “Well it’s nice to meet you then Dream. I’m George, but I’m guessing you already knew that huh?” George said as he began to relax. Dream shifted George into his left hand as he grabbed his mask with the right and lifted his mask. A face dotted with Freckles adorned with a mischievous grin and bright green eyes looked back into his own brown and blue eyes. “Yeah I knew and man I’m gonna mess around with Sapnap for not telling you more about me when we get back.” Dream said as he turned and started to make his way out of the Forest.

And as the two trekked back to where Dream and Sapnap had set up camp, George couldn’t help but be at ease. Even though Dream was a human, he couldn’t help but feel safe in the human's grasp thanks to Sapnap and all those stories he had shared. Even if he’s never told him once that his friend was a human, he knew he could trust Sapnap and that was enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I actually finished a story. I never thought this day would come T-T. I really hope everyone enjoyed this it was a lot of fun to write and I’m glad I did get around to finishing it. Thank you @squishys-soft-stories for reading the draft ❤️ Stay tuned for the first fic I’ve been writing tho!!! I’m dying at not just sharing it now but its not far off being done!! I promise its going to be worth the wait! Thanks all again if you read to the end ❤️❤️❤️

Crimeboys it is.

And would you know it, it be a fluffy Crimeboys prompt with an instinct driven Giant Wilbur and a human Gremlin Tommy.

The prompt starts with Wilbur not letting Tommy go as he woke up with instinct begging for him to take Tommy everywhere he goes.

Tommy tries to bite Wilbur's fingers so he can put him down but Wilbur ain't buggin anytime soon.

Anywhere Wilbur goes, Tommy is right there since Wilbur isn't letting him go.

Like you can have Wilbur be at work and he still brings Tommy with him as an example.

Just make it as fluffy as you can, you can add anything you want.

If you're up to make this prompt then pog, that is if you want to do it.

Also, if you wanna send me a random g/t prompt that u have, go for it.

Quack

This has been in my inbox since I joined Tumblr.

Orchid gorgeous!!!!!!!!! I've rewritten this twice!!!! It took me awhile as I got stuck at one point BUT! I had a new idea today so while its short, I'm very happy with it! I hope I did the prompt justice and you like it!!!

Mine to hold close

cw: mcyt g/t , soft, fluffy, tiny tiny death mention. Words: 607 [One shot]

“Can you put me down you prick?! I’m not gonna freeze I swear!!!” Tommy said with huff as Wilbur scooped him up.

“After the last time it snowed? I don’t think so.” Wilbur responded as he tucked the little human close to his chest. 

“But Wiiiiiiilllll!! I’m not even outside this time!” The giant always tended to get extra clingy around this time of year. His instincts in high gear and on Tommy the second he was awake, worried that Tommy wasn’t warm enough. Tommy didn’t blame him though. Not when he literally met Wilbur in the midst of a snow storm. He hadn’t meant to lose the trail and get stranded in Giant territory, but stuff like that always seemed to follow the Great Tommy Danger Kraken Innit! He’s just lucky that the giant had found him in the snow before he became a frozen popsicle. And even luckier that this Giant didn’t eat humans. So yes, Tommy understood that Wilbur was going to be a little extra cautious about him almost dying of Hypothermia again. But he didn’t have to be so damn cuddly and touchy all the f***** time!!

“Wilbur I’m fine! I’m not gonna get cold! The fires going and keeping everything nice and toasty warm, so stop being a d*** and put me down!!” Tommy said as he squirmed in Wilbur’s hold.

“Tommy. You are literally the most chaotic little gremlin I’ve ever seen. If I put you down, I guarantee you’ll be screaming for help in less than five minutes trying not to freeze your a** off!!” In retaliation, Tommy started biting and scratching at Wilbur’s hand. It didn’t hurt of course, but Wilbur found it cute watching the attempt at escape. He loved Tommy like a brother and ever since he found him had sworn to protect him no matter what, his instincts often being a little overbearing at keeping the chaotic child safe. And if that meant holding onto him for hours at a time, then he’d happily oblige. So what if he had to do his work with one less hand? He’d take holding Tommy any day. That and his instincts kept screaming at him to keep the human close.

After a few minutes Tommy eventually resigned himself to his fate and just chilled in Wilbur’s hand. Though he’d never admit it, he secretly loved it when Wilbur would hold him. He felt safe knowing nothing could hurt him when he was with the giant. He didn’t have to worry about anything and could just be content with his pseudo brother. Staying with the giant being the best decision of his life after their first initial meeting. 

Tommy stayed in Wilbur’s hand all day. They chatted while Wilbur did his chores, Wilbur singing songs to Tommy, Tommy sharing wacky insane ideas with Wilbur, all the while the giant's instincts to keep the human close not faltering once. As day turned to dusk and dusk turned to night, Tommy eventually curled up in Wilbur’s hand. Snuggling in as he fell asleep, hugging one of Wil’s fingers close. Wilbur had to resist the urge to coo at the small sleeping human in his hand. Tommy was so small, so fragile but you’d never guess he had such a boisterous personality and was as lively as what he is. Slowly and carefully, Wilbur made his way to bed, getting in and tucking the human close to his heart. He sighed contently knowing nothing could hurt his brother, his instincts finally satisfied. 

“Good night Tommy.” Wilbur whispered quietly as he drifted off to sleep. The brothers comfortable in each other’s warm embrace.\

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO I MADE ANOTHER FIC!!!!! THAT'S 2/3 POSTED!!!!!

I swear I'm still writing the other fic! I swear! I swear! I swear!!! It's gonna be worth the time its taking! PROMISE

My #1 post of 2022

So I have found another thing to give a shot in amongst everything else I’m doing this month! I’m going to take part in g/t InkTober using @aaytaro-gt prompt list! I want to take the opportunity to practice drawing certain positions and I’ve never really tried to draw gt art before so here’s to hoping I stick to it and make some improvements 😊 might switch between traditional and digital art who know.

a sleepover fic for @melo-baby

hbo euphoria // 6.7k one shot // rated m

“Are you sure this is going to be fine?” There’s a tone of self-doubt that creeps into her voice that has Fezco snickering softly into the receiver of his phone. “C’mon now Lex, actin’ like you ain’t sleep over before.” She sighs hella dramatically into her AirPods. “Yeah but like, that’s different. Like it’s one thing to fall asleep watching a movie with you and crawl into your bed at like, 3am when one of us wakes up, or to crash at yours when a party goes late. Tonight’s just like, a sleepover. Like I have with Rue sometimes.” “So you can have a sleepover with yo’ other best friend, but not me?”

My #1 post of 2022

when I was in high school marching band circa 2007 we successfully petitioned our band director to get us the sheet music for Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance for our stand music and it worked because his name was Mr. Black and he thought it was HILARIOUS.

Tobias and his Lovely Ladies

I'm super excited to share my first-ever commissioned fanart! Made by the incredibly talented and sweet @/artbyainna on Instagram. I love how Tobias goes from being a lady's man in one way to a lady's man in quite another in my HC for the couple. And I love how much happier he is with the latter. I wrote a short fic to accompany this picture (it's only 865 words, for me, that's amazing!). It can be found below the break. I hope this gives some of you the same serotonin rush it gave me today!

Title: Tobias and his Lovely Ladies

Book: Open Heart (Post Series)

Pairing: Tobias Carrick x F!MC (Casey MacTavish)

Rating: Teen

Category: Fluffy Domestic Fluff

Summary: Tobias & Casey share a typical Saturday morning discussing what to get his mother for a birthday gift.

Warnings: None

Words: 865

A/N: I’m still gushing over how happy I am with this photo! I can’t recommend @/artbyainna (IG) enough! 😊

A/N 2: Participating in @choicesmonthlychallenge Day 6, Family / Also participating in this week's @wackydrabbles the prompt can be found below in bold. And because I’m feeling overambitious, this is also inspired by Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely”, which was submitted to @moodmusicmonday

THE CHARACTERS OF TOBIAS and CASEY BELONG TO PIXELBERRY STUDIOS

This is not meant to be received as an anonymous hate message. My deepest apologies if this hurts your feelings, but since your fellow Open Heart fandom friends won’t be honest with you, I felt I should help you out the way I would want someone to help me.

We see you, Jerz. I promise we know you exist. You’ve got our attention. You are so obnoxiously showy, how can we not? And no one seems to have the heart to tell you this.

Your desperation to be acknowledged and seen by others is worrisome. You post when you wake up; you post when you add a word to your work; you advertise for your series “Delaying the Inevitable” morning, noon, night. Jerz, it’s a bit much. No one walks around, talking about how great they are or how great their accomplishments are the way you do. That might not be your intention, but when you post things, like your most recent post about your Asks and how many requests you have, this is seen as gloating.  I don’t know if you realize this, but when you post things like that, you might as well construct a giant neon sign that says, “Look at me! I am so popular!”

I’ve watched you for a few months now, and I know you and your friends are going to accuse me of jealousy. I’m not, but I understand why you would see me that way. But honestly, not many people would idolize someone who is tactless, brash, and selfish. This is how you come across to a lot of people. You might actually be a wonderful person. I would never know because you seem quite self-absorbed and a braggart. Are you familiar with the term “one-upper?” 

I am going to give credit where credit is due: you have hustled your ass off and went straight for the jugular, making sure everyone knew your presence is valuable, including the more higher-rated writers. You can’t comment or reblog anything without marketing yourself and your own work. You clearly are your number 1 fan, and I think that’s great that you have so much confidence in yourself.

You’re probably thinking “What’s the point of this message?” Seriously congratulations to growing number of readers and your fans; congratulations on having such a high view of yourself; congratulations on networkinging with such confidence and zero Fs.

But this honest thirst to be the center of attention, I promise we see you, Jerz. We know you’re there. And how could we not? We know you are going to have the last word. We know that you are going to comment on any post related to Open Heart, especially if it’s about a thirst trap concerning Ethan or Tobias. You post every time you wake up, or when inspiration strikes, or when a certain food or song or movie reminds you of your couples. 

You don’t have to share everything. This is not meant to be hateful, but I hope you become more aware of your actions so you can become a better person.

And I already know what you are going to say. I will unfollow. I truly enjoyed your stories.

I’ve sat on this.  I wasn’t going to share because I want my blog to be a positive place.  Plus, everyone has people who dislike them, so why give my haters porn? But, in the end, I need to say a few things (“getting the last word” Nonny?) and it’s important for people to know that such small and cowardly people lurk among us.

You admit you don’t know me, yet you sure act as if you do.  I’m not quite sure how that works.

I am passionate.  If I love something, I am enthusiastic to a fault and I give it my all, and I love our fandom.  I love creating content, I love reading others’ works and building them up and, no, Nonny, when commenting or reblogging I don’t “always self-promote”.  Sometimes I will discuss my work if it is relevant, usually with people I consider friends.  I did find one reblog from the past week that some may have misconstrued.  I deleted it and reached out to the author to apologize.  I have not heard back from her, but I hope she understands there was no mal intent. I wouldn’t have batted an eyelash if she had done the same thing to me.

I am pretty self-aware.  I know I can be annoying.  I’m zealous and I overshare.  There are personal reasons for that, but it’s who I am.  Friends who do know me laughed at your assertations.  They know I’m my own worst critic, I’m full of self-doubt, and I deal with crippling anxiety.  They also know that being part of this “supportive” (for the most part) community has helped me.  How kind of you to attempt to thwart that.  What you know about me is nothing and your belief that you do speaks volumes to how highly you think of yourself.  Isn’t that what you’re accusing me of?

Like every writer, I want people to read my work, and I love engaging with readers.  But networking? Convincing “higher-rated writers” to like me? Girl, stop.  This isn’t my job.  I don’t get paid for this.  This is fanfiction.  It’s fun! Dear God, do you take it that seriously? Yes, I’ve become friends with people.  People behind popular and small blogs, people who are readers.  I assure you that building these friendships had nothing to do with networking.  We got to know each other, like and care for each other, and we’ve been there to support each other when we need it most.  It looks like some people find me likable, and I know how to be a friend.  If you struggle with that, I suggest you look for the reason instead of attacking me.

You state you have “watched me for a few months now.”  Yet my behavior is worrisome? It seems my post apologizing for having so many outstanding anons triggered you.  You assumed I was trying to say  “look at me I’m so popular”.  I had to laugh.  First off, popular?  Look at my note count, it’s nothing to be jealous of.  I posted it because the majority of requests sitting in my inbox are anons that I can’t reach out to personally or I would.  My readers REALLY matter to me, and I don’t want anyone to think they’ve been forgotten.  The fact that your mind goes to such a horrible place, about an admitted stranger, is pathetic.  It speaks to who you are, not me. 

Look, I’m not everyone’s cup of tea… and that’s OK.  I’m sure you’re not either.  That’s life.  But you send this hate, and to be clear, it is hate, thinking you’re a better person? What have I done to hurt anyone in this fandom? Tell me.  I’ll wait.  I’ve never done anything as vile as you. Do you feel you can sit in judgment of me?  That you have the moral superiority to tell me to be a better person when your actions already show what kind of person you are? The irony!  If anyone needs reflection, it’s you.

I strongly suggest you think twice before doing something like this to anyone else in the future.  I have been through enough in my life to let this roll off my back, but not everyone can.  Some people could be terribly hurt, or harm themselves if they received something like this.  Dear God, examine yourself.

I knew I posted a lot. 😂

Only one fic in my top 5, and that is probably because of Ainna! lol Given how small the fandom is, I kind of expected that.

But, goddamn, my seriously twisted anon hate (referred to as the "We Are Legion" hate) was #3. Shit man. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

This is always so much fun to see.

generally i am a huge advocate for shows having more light and i am full of gratitude to every giffer who has let me watch that akkayan kiss all brightened and colored beautifully

...but something about the darkness in that scene hits so different. It's so purposeful, the themes of shame, longing and rebellion that is harbored within that darkness.

Akk is finally letting something come out of himself that he has held back long before Ayan was even in the picture. This kiss is about Ayan and its about more than just Ayan. It's Akk - who's so good at holding himself back, so good at destroying himself for what he's been taught is justice and good morals - deciding that something else comes first.

And maybe Akk needed darkness and maybe he needed Ayan to close the gap, to desire him back first [for real]- but Akk shows none of Ayan's timidity or confusion during the kiss. He's known all along what he desires. He desires Ayan, of course he does, but he desires perhaps even more to be there for him and comfort him - Akk has always wanted to help Ayan and in his own way has done nothing but help him.

The way those first scenes in episode 6 used fire to show how Akk's love and compassion was destroying himself - and at the end its within darkness that those soft parts of him are born anew because often its within darkness that queer love is allowed to nurture and grow

all jokes aside i have been incredibly impressed with the way the love scenes have gone in big dragon. Yes in the technical sense (aesthetics, editting, music) but especially in the narrative sense. The sex in big dragon pushes the narrative forward in quite big ways and reveals things about the characters. Which falls really well in line with the theme of BDSM, a lot of which is about trust and vulnerability. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting Mangkorn to use the videos to lure Yai back to his house. And initially, I didn't really know what to think or feel about it. But damn if i don't feel sorry for Mangkorn in that moment.

Look at Yai, Mangkorn wants him to answer because Mangkorn wants him to accept it, but Mangkorn doesn't need Yai to answer to know that Yai likes him. And the fact that Yai doggedly refuses till the very end, that he chooses to walk away must have...hurt. The show has already established Mangkorn as someone who wouldn't violate consent, who wouldn't take it by coercion. The blowjob scene was played for jokes but this was its main purpose, to show that Mangkorn is playing around with him, but Mangkorn isn't trying to control him even though he very well could.

So the sheer amount of desperation in this had me lying on the floor.

Vincent hasn’t called him to stand since the time with Felice, although there have been multiple nights where Simon has slept over. He supposes that while one can assume, it’s not actually evident that he and Simon had sex during those times (even though they definitely have). There was no mistaking the way they’d left early the night before, however. No mistaking the darkened bruise on Wille’s neck. They’ve already received some smirks from the boys around them, cheekily asking them if they’d had a goodnight.

Some thoughts about Kristina:

We know she grew up as crown princess, so obviously she grew up with all the pressures, but as another layer she would be the first crown princess of Sweden ever. The change to the law of succession making the heir first born child regardless of gender was made in the 80s, so it would have applied when her dad was growing up. If she didn’t have any brothers there’s a chance it might have been changed specifically for her, which adds a whole other layer of pressure. Then, there’s the misogyny aspect of it, where there’s an idea that a woman would make a weaker ruler because of her emotions/ that they would be too emotional to leave. She’s probably had to intentionally tamper down any feelings so people would respect her as a leader and not question her decisions.

She’s also a grieving mother, she is clearly affected by Erik’s loss, but despite losing her son she still has to be the fave of the monarchy. She might be pushing down her emotions even further because if she let’s herself fear all that grief will bumble to the surface. If she lets herself show too much emotion others might question her ability to rule. Her way of protecting herself was to harden and thats what shes trying to do with Wille because its the only way she knows how.

I think she does truly care about Wille but her entire life has been warped by the crown and the pressures of the role, and she’s never really been challenged to unlearn that. In her mind, she’s doing what’s best for him. It doesn’t excuse the ways she’s hurt wille but there’s more nuance to it. She’s also a victim of the weight of the crown, and she’s passing along that weight and trauma to Wille because she doesn’t know any different.

Can I request a reader insert with Allu where the reader has low self esteem and little to no sexual/romantic experience, and Allu tries to make them comfortable and feel good?

my pisces venus was more than happy to be given this request!! im not sure if it's what you wanted (i guess i went a bit heavy on the realism - i don't know about y'all but i think first times are kinda... Not It) but enjoy!

It's all so new for you. 

It barely feels real. All this time, you thought romance just wasn't for you: all your friends had started dating years ago, but for you, the moment never seemed to come. You'd wait patiently, telling yourself you'll experience the same thing some day, but in the back of your mind there was always this shadow of a thought that said you weren't good enough for it. It was hard not to indulge it, especially when your friends told you about their latest dates, the things they'd do with their partners, how well they treated them. There was a hint of jealousy on your part, mixed with a painful inability to relate, that made you cry at night until one day you became numb to it. At some point, you accepted romance just wasn't something that happened to you. That was okay, you told yourself; there were many other things you could live for in your life, you could be happy regardless, but your heart still clenched whenever you thought about it for too long. So you tried not to. 

Until Aleksi came along. 

A handsome young man, with eyes bluer than the ocean and the sweetest smile you've ever seen. He's just taken you out on a date (the ninth; you've been counting) and you can't stop thinking about how he grabbed your hand on the table at the nice restaurant, the tenderness his gaze held when he looked at you, the way he smiled when you felt yourself blush. You can't help but sigh happily. 

"What are you thinking about?" Aleksi asks, smile audible in his voice. You're sitting in his car, ready to go home for the night, though you wish you could stay together for longer. His passenger seat has become your favorite place to sit - it means he's by your side. 

"You," you say. He takes your hand and strokes the back of it with his thumb. You close your eyes, losing yourself in the simple touch. 

He leans in and kisses your cheek and that's when you open your eyes. You giggle as he gives you more kisses, covering your face in them, until you grab the side of his face to guide his lips to your own. The kiss is slow, languid, making you sigh in his mouth. 

He was your first kiss. And he's still making you feel that same way now, after many, many kisses; the butterflies in your stomach, the jolt of electricity shooting down between your legs, making your toes curl. 

"Aleksi," you breathe out, pulling back. His eyes are heavy-lidded as he looks back at you, his chest warm under your hand through his shirt. "I want you. I really do." 

Your heart picks up as you utter the words. You never went this far but you just can't wait anymore. After two months, you feel ready. 

His expression changes to that of concern. "What do you mean?" 

"I want you, as in… I wanna go home with you. Spend the night together." 

He pulls back further, his gaze serious. "Are you sure? We don't have to. There's no hurry." 

"I know," you say and it's your turn grabbing his hand this time. "But I really want it... Aleksi, you have no idea just how much." 

You feel him tense up at your words, like you turned on a switch. He smiles then. 

"I want you too, baby," he says in a low voice, the pet name making you melt. 

"Let's go, then." 

*** 

You're at your apartment. Aleksi insisted a familiar place would make you feel more at ease - you'd argue that his place would've been fine as well, just as familiar, but you appreciate the thoughtfulness. 

With your heart beating in your ears, you reach the living room. Here, you're ready to pull him in for a searing kiss and take him out of his clothes but he stops you with an amused snort, hands gently grabbing at your arms. 

"Patience, baby," he says. "Let's go to bed. It's more comfortable." 

You sigh, defeated, and he just laughs. You take his hand then and lead him to your bedroom. 

You stop in your tracks once you're there, the gravity of the situation hitting at once. Aleksi passes by you and sits down on your bed carefully, glancing at you with serious eyes. Suddenly, all your impatience is gone, replaced by nervousness and anxiety. 

"It's okay if you're not ready yet," Aleksi says with a reassuring smile. 

"It's not that," you say. "There's no one I'd rather have my first time with. But…" 

Aleksi's eyebrows raise, silently urging you to speak your mind. You wish you could tell him how much his patience and gentleness are appreciated - you don't feel pressured, you don't feel like you owe it to him, and it makes you feel like you're completely safe. Still… 

"I don't know how to do this. What if it hurts and I tell you to stop? That'd be so disappointing for you. What if I can't make you feel good? What if I do something you don't like? What if you - once you see me - what if you decide I'm not attractive…" 

"Hey," Aleksi says, voice low. He stood up and walked over to you and now he's cupping your face in his hands. "Stop thinking about me. Don't make it about me. Tonight's about you."

could i request something fluffy with tommi/aleksi? the picture of aleksi on tommi's lap has been living in my head rent free for the past few days, they're so cute

of course 😌😌 it's not inspired by that picture but it's still soft and fluffy 🥰🥰

When Tommi wakes up there's only subtle light coming through the window and shining through the blinds. It must be early. Aleksi next to him is still asleep, wrapped in the sheets up to his chin to shield himself from the crisp night air now that it's fall. Tommi can barely make out his features in the soft light: he's relaxed, breathing quietly through parted lips, his gentle face and soft edges almost, almost making him look naive and innocent. 

(He's everything but. Tommi knows oh so well.) 

If he still had had long hair, Tommi would've brushed it off his face. Sadly, he has no excuse to touch his visage now, so he just sighs and gets up. 

Seeing Aleksi so beautiful and peaceful made Tommi soft, and it's their day off anyway, so Tommi decides to indulge his feelings. He's not a man of many words, much less a man of grand gestures; for him it's in the little things, in the meaningful moments. Tommi doesn't miss the way Aleksi smiles and blushes when he brings him coffee when he's been in their home studio for hours. Nor does he miss how his face lights up when Tommi lets him play his precious drum kit in said studio to his heart's content. Sometimes Aleksi even asks him to teach him some cool tricks with the drums, and Tommi is sure Aleksi already knows everything he tries to show him, but the way he smiles happily when Tommi tells him he did a good job afterwards… it just never fails to swell his heart. 

Through the kitchen window, the trees are starting to lose their leaves, the landscape mostly brown against a pastel purple sky. It's silent except for maybe some wind. Tommi feels particularly alive. 

He enjoys the moment for a few seconds then gets to work. Pancakes. That's what he wanted to make. He vaguely remembers the recipe and the procedure but hasn't made them in a hot minute, and his phone is in the bedroom (no way he'll go back there and risk waking Aleksi up), so all he can do is hope for the best. 

The first one he makes is rather fucked up. Shapeless and slightly burnt. He lets out an annoyed grunt, stern eyes fixed on the offending sorry excuse of a pancake. When he takes a bite, he ascertains he didn't mess up the ingredients at least, which is great news. He keeps on going. The second pancake isn't much better looking than the first, but at least it's the yellow-light brown color a pancake is supposed to be. Progress. 

He loves Aleksi, he really does. Because otherwise why would he be preparing breakfast for him at the break of dawn, reminding himself about just how clueless he is in the kitchen, losing his mind over one of the easiest things to bake, uttering fuck every once in a while out of frustration? 

After a few more tries, the pancakes actually start to look decent (though they're still all different sizes. Alas, Tommi is sure this is the best he can do). He starts piling them up on a plate, finally at peace again, the sky outside now baby blue. 

He feels two arms around his sides and two hands snaking from behind until they're resting on his stomach. Aleksi's body, so small yet so warm, is pressed against his back and Tommi's eyelashes flutter closed. He opens his eyes again, back to his senses, when the dough starts making weird sizzling noises in the pan. Tommi is quick to tend to it again. 

"This smells delicious," Aleksi says, voice still rough with sleep. He holds on to Tommi's middle for a moment longer, leaving a kiss between his shoulder blades when he pulls away. "Can I help?" 

"Lay the table, please?" 

Tommi doesn't turn around, too focused on the pancakes (but he's mostly done!). Still, he can hear Aleksi moving around the kitchen, opening and closing cabinets and drawers, and thinks it's what makes this house his home.

oh if you're taking prompts 👀👀 can i have joel/aleksi and "never been kissed" 🙏🏻💕

hey dear! of course you can 🥰😌 

"Joel - Joel… wait," Aleksi says. Joel had sprinted towards the pond in the park they just reached, letting out words of awe. The day is coming to its end and the soft red evening is reflecting in the still body of water, no ripples altering the picture - a perfect mirror. 

Joel stops in his tracks when he hears Aleksi's call, phone already in hand to take photos of the lovely sight. When Aleksi doesn't move Joel walks back to him with a smile. 

"What's wrong?" Joel asks, fingertips moving to Aleksi's cheek tentatively as they've never done it before. Aleksi feels his hairs stand on end. 

"There's something I still haven't told you," he says quietly. Joel is now caressing the side of his face with a thumb. Aleksi leans into the touch and it's as if his cheek was always made for Joel's hand. 

The date had started off with a coffee by the harbor in the early afternoon. The coffee shop was playing a low fi beat that got stuck in Aleksi's head for the rest of the day and the coffee was a bit too bitter for his taste but Joel had been wonderful. He loved how he took his hand when they walked out and how attentively he was listening to everything Aleksi had to say, even when he himself thought he was being boring by disclosing insignificant personal details (such as what his favorite aftershave was and how his grandma used to make pulla with extra sugar just for him when he was a child). 

Walking aimlessly, they ended up in the park. There were plenty of people at first and Aleksi briefly thought how Rilla would've had fun here with them, socializing with other dogs and running around while Joel and Aleksi walked side by side, holding hands. Aleksi could imagine them walking Rilla together as an established couple and it would feel like a Sunday family trip. 

Now they're alone and the park is mostly silent. And there is something Joel has to know before their first date ends. 

"I've never been kissed," Aleksi confesses and Joel's eyes go wide for a second. His gaze settles on his lips, as if it's all he can think about now that Aleksi mentioned it. 

"Can't believe you," Joel says. "You're too kissable for anyone to resist." 

Aleksi smiles bashfully, feeling himself blush. Joel's eyes move up to his own just for a split second where it's too heavy for Aleksi and then settle on his lips once again. 

"May I have the honor to be the first?" 

Aleksi's heart flutters at that, the joy of the first date being perfect now only intensified. Joel must've seen him glow because he smiles brightly, his left hand now joining the other on Aleksi's face, on the other side. 

"You may."

King Of His Nightmares (Freed x Mard Geer) - 12/1/2022

Freed was a pragmatic man, so ending up with the demon king Mard-Geer Tartarus went against his nature.

Hypnosis & Bubbles (Freed x Lyon) - 2/1/2022

Online, On Cam, On All Fours (Freed x Laxus) - 25/6/2022

Freed became a camboy to get himself through college, but his online fame blew up and he grew to love it. The only issue was his boyfriend of two months didn't know. Not until he walked in on Freed on all fours, mid show, dressed in a playboy bunny costume. Needless to say, Freed didn't need to worry about Laxus' reaction. Not at all. [College AU | NSFW | 4.6k Words]

Call Me Master (Freed x Laxus) - 12/2/2022

Laxus has taken to his role as guildmaster well, but there's one more thing he needs. Freed has yet to call him Master. But he'll change that; and if it takes teasing, a firm hand, and just a little humiliation, then so be it. [Canon Divergent | 2.2k Words]

Hey babes!

It’s update time with Kassie! (Insert fun catchy music here)

As most of you know, I have been taking a bit of a break for summer just because it’s a super busy time for me. Our main business is seasonal so I’m pretty tied up until school begins again. And for our town, that’s next Monday.

I’ve stated several times that I plan to open requests again in August and that plan hasn’t changed. However, I do want to make a few notes about what that will mean.

I love to write, obviously 😅 I’ll have more time to write. In fact, I will be scheduling writing time for myself during the day while my son is at school.

With that in mind, I should mention here that my main focus will be the book series that Val and I are co-writing. We have already planned out at least four books. Plus, we both have separate books that we will be writing individually.

We will have Patreon accounts for the meat of what we share with that, and use Tumblr as our teaser point.

I am not going to stop writing TMNT fanfics. I love our boys too much for that!! It just won’t be my focus.

I will be accepting requests but with less time spent on them, I will be much pickier about what I choose to write. If it doesn’t come to me quickly, I’ll have to skip it. In the past I’ve tried to accommodate every request, with a few exceptions. I’m going to have to start turning some down, and I do hate that, but I also need to fulfill my dream of becoming a published author.

Requests can use the TMNT prompt list (link on my master list) or be organic.

I have also found a lot of love with some of the stories that I’ve written with my own ideas rather than answering asks so I’ll be trying to do more of that when I write fanfics. Most of those have been Raph based because he is bae. But I’m working on ideas for each of the other brothers now.

I will continue Into the Shadows, and the requests that I already agreed to do. Chapter 21 should be posted this weekend!

Thank you to everyone for all the support since I started sharing my writing in March of 2021. Much love to all!!!

💙♥️💜🧡 - Kassie

Wakanda Forever Spoilers

I’ve seen that a lot of people started shipping Shuri with Namor. I don't personally ship it, but I'm okay with this. They had good chemistry, so the ship does have potential. However, Namor killed Shuri���s mother, which keeps me from shipping them together. I also saw potential for a ship between Shuri and Riri, but they didn't have as much screen time together as I would hope. I'll have to wait for more content to decide.

This is my opinion and I respect everyone else’s. Unfortunately, I've seen others (I suppose you could call them “antis”) harass posts about the ship. This is what I wanted to address today.

It's okay to express your opinion, but do it on your own post. People ship things for fun. Don't ruin that fun for them. It's upsetting to see people insult each other over a ship. It's fictional, people. Get over it.

Marvel needs to release an official list of which characters were Blipped or not. We already know some, but there’s a bunch of newer characters that were also affected by it somehow. Was Kamala Khan and her family Blipped? Kate Bishop? Moon Knight? Jennifer Walters? What about the N!MCU characters? These are important questions that need answering for important reasons, okay-

Just finished reading the @ask-spiderpool blog in chronological order! The storyline is incredibly enjoyable and the jokes made me wheeze in public. And now I have a new ship that I’m obsessed with...

Saw that other people got shirts for this accomplishment, so I figured I'd make one for myself-

And when I say obsessed, I mean I'm probably going to reread everything soon...

Get to know me tag

I totally missed the tags from @cptjh-arts and @yayen-chan. Better late than never I guess?

rules: answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to know better

favourite colour: have to say blue. Although I like violet as well.

currently reading: do fanfictions count? ;) I haven't picked up a book in ... months. Oh my. Jumping between different fanfics and fandoms atm. Detroit Become Human (d'uh), Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Age and Mass Effect for the most part.

The last book I read was a manga version of Pride and Prejudice if I remember correctly.

Last song: Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups. The song is part of a Spotify playlist I often listen to when I'm writing.

Last series: I usually jump from series to series depending on my mood. Last series would be: Queer as Folk, Outlander, Virgin River, Afterlife.

Last movie: last movie I put on in the background while I was doing something else was probably Frozen or Moana. Last movie I put on an was actually paying attention to it would be Detroit Evolution from Octopunk Media. I just can't get enough of those two.

sweet/savory/spicy: oh no, so I have to choose? I'll probably go for sweet then. I love crêpes suzette and cinnamon rolls, so...

currently working on: way too many things for brain to handle. Wips for basically everything I'm interested in. My first multi chapter dbh fanfiction should be finished and ready for beta reading soon. If I don't get distracted by another wip in the meantime. They are all in a state of an unfinished and unpolished mess right now.

tagging: Sorry if you've already been tagged by someone or don't to tags. I probably missed while looking through the posts. @klayr-de-gall @kgrsgmr @deadlilmoon @elvhenfaer @elisa897 @nock-and-bolt @knuttydraws @dudewheresmynug @hanatsuki89

So far I have watched 3 episodes of The Rings of Power and you know what? I really enjoy it. It's awesome fanfic. About Galadriel and Elrond and some other folks from Tolkien universe. And we get to see Numenor. I mean yeah there are some stylistic choices some pointed out are a bit questionable (the hair, the lack of sideburns in elves etc.) but there are still so many awesome things that so far I am glad to be back to that universe and explore it from different angle.

I mean I love Sansukh (Bagginshield and Gigolas epic fanfic - if you haven't read it do yourself a favor and do it!) so much because it explores the unseen parts of Middle Earth and I feel like Rings of Power is doing the same while also honoring the Tolkien universe - I mean so far for me there's not much to dislike it.

Why is Old Fashion Cupcake so good though?

It’s rethorical question I will answer with just things from top of my head

Pining, attraction, food p0rn, office romance, mentor/subordiante relationship, midlife crisis averted by power of friendship/attraction.

And then not so subtle questions like this:

I screamed.

But for real this quick biteback at Nozue about possibility of porn being hidden in his closet was so fast. He has it bad for his boss and he can’t help himself.

Let You Fly [Namjoon x Jimin]

Summery: Namjoon and Jimin have been together for only 7 months and it’s been near perfect. The two fit together wonderfully. All changes when Namjoon’s dream job offer slides itself into his inbox. He’d been eyeing the position in Japan for years… It wouldn’t be fair to Jimin to pack up his bags and join Namjoon, but it wouldn’t be fair to Namjoon to try to force him to stay. Instead, Jimin must let him fly.

Pairings: Namjoon (BTS) x Jimin (BTS)

Rating: E for everyone

Warnings: None

Word Count:  3.5k words

Genre: Angst, A touch of fluff

A/N: A big thank you to @bluewhale52 for betaing! Your feedback was soooo helpful!!!!!!!

A/N2: This fic is part of @bangtanwritingbingo​’s summer bingo! The prompt for this is “Jimin x Namjoon”!

Song inspiration: Let You Fly by Sunshine State

The sweet fragrance of the flower shop filled Jimin's nostrils as he worked away on a bouquet order. Jimin hummed along to the soft music that played in the background, his mind zeroed in on putting the flowers together in just the right way. Behind him, Namjoon sat at a small table, typing away on his computer. He was supposed to be on a small break, but like the work loving man he was, he was actually clearing out his inbox. Every once in a while, he'd sigh deeply and run his hands through his hair tiredly when he found an email that he actually had to respond to with thought.

“Halmoni?”

“Yes, Dohyun-ah?” 

“How did-did-did you and harabeoji meet?” 

You sighed, gently rubbing Dohyun’s head as you tucked his sheets around him. 

“Well, it was…”

You sighed and giggled, looking out the window to the clear night sky.

“We met in a really cute way… but it’s late, baby, I can tell you tomorrow. What story do you want me to read to you tonight?”

Dohyun pouted, his lips pouting.

“P-please Halmoni! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”

You laughed, rubbing his forehead.

The couch hugged you lovingly as you breathed a deep sigh of relief, allowing yourself to rest in a way that you hadn't let yourself in months. Your mind felt as blank as a windows screensaver as your aching body seemed to release some of the pent up tension from weeks and weeks of tiresome work. It wasn't the nicest couch nor was it always the most comfortable couch, but in that moment after finishing your last final of the semester it was the most comfortable place in the world. There were no other things you needed to do at that moment.

My #1 post of 2022

Affection, Not Attention

Writing is seen as a solitary hobby. Yet almost every day there is a post asking for more engagement, how come? 

For whatever reason a writer has posted (for growth, interaction, or just because), writing is transformed. Through writing communities and sharing our writing online, our brainchildren become part of a conversation between writers and readers that I find is often underplayed or overlooked in conversations about engagement.

A commonality of many writers on tumblr is the want for engagement… and distress when there isn’t engagement… no matter how hard we try not to focus on engagement. It becomes a tiring cycle. One that I’ve been struggling with for years. 

When I interviewed Mars, @joheunsaram, she pointed out that this struggle for engagement can be very unique for hobby writers whose writing is often a brainchild of ours. By that logic, I have a lot of kids and I’m ace. 

They are pieces of ourselves that we are showing off to the world. As hobby writers, our works often go through much less polishing and have fewer people to polish and influence them. They are often raw parts of ourselves in this way.

That being said, engagement was not the primary way people characterized their writing in my interviews. Through the wide diversity in their writing interests, we are all united by an internal drive, a want to share ideas (JJ). 

Writing is a beautiful amalgamation of concepts, theories, and ideas that all get wrapped up to create something magical. In interviewing authors, a common theme was how their writing helps them process “[their] thoughts, [their] fantasies and [their] emotions” (@mlkydrms) This sentiment of writing was echoed in conversations I had with Kas (@voiceswithoutlips), Kiki (@chryblossomjjk), Cath (@magicshopaholic), and Rid (@taegularities). Writing is also done with a focus on sharing ideas and a love for the medium (JJ (@m-yg93), Courtney (@casuallyimagining)).

Engagement was often talked about in relation to how people thought of and characterized their readers though. Community, understanding, connections were all things talked about in relation to readers as well. The want for people talking about and relating to characters and themes in their writing is a common theme I found. While likes and reblogs show a level of enjoyment and appreciation, comments are innately human and in turn, have a deep level of intimacy. Engagement is about growing bonds and it “adds an aspect of connection” (Ru (@btsmosphere)). 

Reader engagement was also brought up when talking about coping with the stresses of writing. As we all know, writing can be tiring and challenging, and engagement soothes the challenges that can come with writing, comments specifically have the power to “stifle the negative thoughts” (Kiki). They encourage and motivate us to keep exploring our worlds in addition to sharing affection. 

A great example of this: Courtney mentioned getting inspiration to write a new fic after someone read a lot of their pieces for a specific member. 

Our fics are like opening our arms up into a crowd of people and saying, “I would love a hug”...  We “spend so much time writing [our fics] and then putting [them] out” so when there is no engagement, no hug, it can be disheartening (Rid). It feels like everyone in the crowd is staring at us and thinking, “What the hell are you doing?” 

Looking back at posts asking for engagement from readers, I don’t think they’re generally asking for attention. What many writers want is affection. We want to have these intimate things that we're sharing to be acknowledged. Nep phrased it wonderfully when he said that our posts are like sharing a piece of media related to a topic we like to our friends and hoping a friend will get engaged. 

Cath gave a wonderful example, highlighting About You that has fewer notes than other fics of hers but the comments are very deep and insightful and mean the world to her. Those comments hold a special place in her heart.

I think this framing of engagement also explains why constructive criticism may not be wanted by authors. Many of us write as a hobby, and while we post to share these intimate thoughts, and to have a conversation about them, we don't necessarily do it to grow. While growth is a goal of some writers, there are writers who aren’t looking for feedback or wanting to grow intentionally, that’s valid and we should respect that boundary. 

If community and affection is the primary goal of many writers when posting and we are opening our arms out into the crowd, getting unsolicited feedback or criticism from someone we've not seen before (i.e. our first time seeing a reader or an anonymous ask) is like a back hug when we were expecting a front hug and you don't know who is hugging you because you weren't looking in their direction. It's very disorienting. 

This isn’t always the case, especially if writers do want criticism. They may be prepared for a hug in any direction! Checking with them and making sure that hug is still enjoyable for them is important though. 

As readers it is valid to feel close with writers as they share intimate aspects of themselves, but unless readers reach out and make a connection, writers may not have a feeling of reciprocity or affection. Furthermore, if writers don’t know a reader, jumping into criticism can be disorienting. In these situations, connections and affection are still very useful when giving constructive criticism (and are something that can be built over time or through a single comment). 

If you want to give constructive feedback, I recommend building a relationship with the writer and checking to make sure that they are ok with constructive feedback, and make sure to also point out what you enjoyed. Receiving only negative feedback or critiques doesn’t feel good and doesn’t help affirm the intimacy a writer is asking for. Additionally, if you didn't enjoy anything about a fic, and can't think of a single thing to say that's positive, maybe that's not the best time to comment. 

If you're an anonymous person, or don't have a Tumblr blog, I encourage you to make an anonymous identity. Writers would love to have anonymous people engage with and talk about their stuff and that relationship being built is also really good. We will remember you. 

We notice who comments, likes, and reblogs. Our blogs and fics become a “little symbiotic network” and it’s pretty magical (Kiki).

For writers, I also encourage you to think about what engagement means to you. It is totally valid to want attention in posting, especially when you put a lot of work into it (Kas gave a great analogy of cooking dinner for friends, praise is wonderful when you do). Not caring about attention is also totally valid (Cherry referred to their writing as art they hang up in their home). We all want different things from posting but a commonality I found in my interviews and generally with conversations between writers was a want for connection, community, and intimacy. 

Reframing my thoughts has helped me better understand why I get upset at a lack of engagement, and reflecting may help to better understand why and if you want engagement.

I want to give a big big big thanks to the writers I interviewed! @mlkydrms, @m-yg93, @joheunsaram, @chryblossomjjk, @magicshopaholic, @cherrysoulth, @taegularities, @btsmosphere, @casuallyimagining. All of them are wonderful authors and great people and I highly encourage you check them out! 

Thank you for reading! I appreciate any thought or ideas you have on my little piece!
