#I just choice not to be when I write fanfic

[themistakehasarrived]

Have an unneeded word vomit on worldbuilding for the httyd tribal courtships for my fanfic.

[btw I have not heavily researched courtships but I've some fan ideas and tiny specks of actual courtship traditions.]

There are a few things that vary from tribe to tribe in my worldbuilding but let me word vomit it all anyway:

The requirement to begin a courtship is a weapon made by the courter or paid to be made with a design the courter asked for, it is in my head a way of giving the other a way for protection and saying they wish them to be well-protected.

Through what sort of weapon one gives also says a lot, if its an unfit weapon than there is a lack of attention put into it and it is, unfortunately for unobservent lads, an offensive gift that says they do not know the person they want to court beyond physical appearance.

Heavy jewellery is never a good gift, as a courtship gift should be practical even if it's only for show and much of the characters have duties to deal with in their day-to-day lives. Light earrings, bracelets, armbands, etc. Majorly, things that do not disturb them but still show that the person is in a courtship. These gifts usually go on to be worn even after marriage.

This is a more true to life courtship point but the father of the bride (in this case groom works too I suppose) asks for hand in marriage in place of their children. In my world, it's seen as a show of good-will between in-laws to be and an acceptance of the joining of two families through marriage.

The courtship requires the two courters to have one advisor each personally and one that works between the two as a counselor of sorts. This is to insurance no misunderstandings happen that lead to a dissolve of the courtship and build better relations between the two. As majority of times the courtship can happen between previously unknown parties but also between previously friends to courters.

Courtship requires the two to spend much time together, which means they are either together during events or alone away from others. Spending time to get to know each other better, come to an understanding of what they might require from this marriage, etc.

When one is ready to move the courtship to a marriage, which usually takes a year or two at the most to happen unless the courtship is broken off, then the two come to an agreement of when, how, where through their advisors and are given a day to spend together before it is announced. This is a last effort to insurance that the marriage is a good choice through private discussions and time spent together.

So, this was my—very unneeded but wanted word vomit on—courtship ideas and how this will very likely come into play in my fanfic.

An added fact, anything made by either of the courters is seen as a sacred gift because the person spent time and effort to create it. So, Jack with his sewing and Hiccup with his smithing go a long way in this fanfic later on.

I post and reblog a lot of stuff about DC canon, canon vs. fanon representations, etc. But I want to reiterate (as I probably will periodically) that you are allowed to do things "wrong" in your own fan works. You are allowed to have weird headcanons, self-indulgent projections onto certain characters, and just absolutely bizarre "he would never say that" scenarios. Fandom is by nature about a personal, emotional connection to the source material. And every fan's connection to that material is going to be different. Don't jump down people's throats when they don't share your headcanons, of course. (And try not to blindly insist that you know something when you haven't read the actual comics.) But please feel free to love what you love in the ways that bring you the most joy.

I'm taking a writing class for fun and today I had to sit through my class workshop on my short story that I wrote.

Little do they know that I actually wrote a rough chapter of a Gravity Falls fanfic and then changed the names and omitted some details to make it less obvious. Not a single person called me out on it, the lord had blessed me on this day.

Also, this fic idea is part of the reason I wanted to take the class in the first place. Inspired of course by my fanfic writing partner, @buthowboutno. If I start posting shit I am blaming him (affectionately).

AUs where Lily & James go from childhood best friends to lovers>>> Snily happening.

It's a very cute drawing! I haven't read much or possibly any childhood-starting jily, but it's a concept I'd be happy to see more of!

really want to write my things w "fuck it we ball" attitude but the little rat in my head keeps noticing little stupid details and doesn't let me go further >:[

saw a post earlier that was like "i have a theory that fanfic is more literary analysis than creative writing" and i was like. i know exactly what you mean but thats not what im doing. love and light to you but i am doing a different thing than that

Heyy!!!

I loved your Life , liberty and pursuit for information fic!!! It's so good and well written. The cliffhanger has got me on edge. Can we get any update on part 4.

Happy Writing!!!

Stay safe 💝

Awww thank youuuu. I'm working on Pt. 4 rn, and I'm hoping I'll have it done by next week, I've got writers block lmaooo

But anyways, here's a little(very little) sneak peak for ya:

~Soap was a god at Mario Kart. He had no right to be as good as he was, especially with you playing pretty much all day everyday, and yet he came in first every time you played together. It was almost enough to make you yell at him. Almost. 

The one upside to this whole torture thing? You get to play video games all the time to rebuild the muscles in your hands and fingers. They attach little sensors to you to make sure your nerves are recovering correctly, that  signals are being sent to your brain at the proper response rate. It is the most nerve-wracking playing time you have ever done. ~

Crumbs for the children :))

i just got the ebook from the library I'm reading. i couldn't resist the communist manifesto blush

!!! we r reading shitty porn book together!! friendship *high five*

I stopped dead at that line just like. is that. was that a real actual line? that was a real actual line she's blushing as red as the communist manifesto literally so so silly

Okay but I'm genuinely losing my mind over the twilight comparisons. I swear some of these lines she just took it straight from twilight and used a thesaurus for every few words. Her talking about her mother, her talking about how there's nothing mysterious about her...I'm only 43 pages in my GOD

there's a specific scenario that I've imagined so many times for wayhaven and I want to write it but also I feel like the idea of it vs. the execution of this idea is going to be difficult

[bifairywife]

me partially ready to make a fanfiction.net account but then encountered some analysis and talks and rumors that it may shut down:

i dipped in reddit to check it out and this one is one of the top posts about the topic (more rants in tags)

Whenever I actually sit down and start posting the next gen series, one of the things that I really wanna do is kind of... incorporate reader's choices into it? Not in big ways bc my plan is to write like a full season before I start posting episodes and that can affect it, but like. smaller beats.

One example is that I have an episode idea where there's a big emotional thing for three different characters and our resident empath has a discussion with each of them, but it's reader choice which scene we see. Another one is an episode where it's reader's choice for who gets hit with some kind of emotional puncture and just spews emotions everywhere. It'd be mostly character and relationship scenes for arcs that are already happening, but readers would have the chance to see their favorite or the one that they're most curious about up close on "screen." Not for every episode, but like. maybe once or twice a season or something. Idk, thought it might be interesting.
