so I’ve had this fantasy AU in the back of my mind since 2021 and I finally decided to draw some stuff on it



#it’s very simple plotwise but I just like the aesthetic I’m a child raised on fantasy and mmorpgs okay ✋😔#Arthur is a pirate whose greediness doomed him for centuries to guard what he once tried to steal in the form of a dragon#Francis is a spoiled prince who is being sent on a campaign to capture a dragon under a mountain and make it a weapon of the kingdom#the catch is that no one knew that the dragon was not a dragon at all#and the artifact designed to subdue the monster instead weakened the curse and (almost) restored him to human form#this is essentially a beginning of the whole story#I’m not going to tell the whole thing bc I’m cringe#let’s say it’s them being put into situations#while being dragged into politics ofc#anyways things escalated quickly back in 2021 and I put A LOT of characters into this AU#and I have quite a few ideas for art#shame that I’m not a writer and nobody but me will understand the context 🤪#hetalia#fruk#hws france#hws england#aph

#that's actually the curse of being an IF writer#because you're forced to face every fucking possible train wreck. doomed to lose your mind over it#anyway I'm having a normal one how about you#ve spoilers

Ooc: Okay but damn what happened to this version of Isa? This is not the guy who was willing to hear the King out in ISAT. Are the backstories fairly different in the AU or is it simple artistic liberty to want the presence of a meaner character for this story? Genuinely curious because there is a level of vitriol to him in this AU that is strikingly different.
// i invite the converstaion to consider why isabeau would behave so drastically differently. i guess you could say Isabeau has gone through a Change.
#ooc#i had more to say but i need! to stop!!! explaining things omg#curse of being a writer i wanna explain things in detail#so yeah i'm gonna practice what i preach and just let ya'll discuss amongst yourselves on the characterization

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wangxian#idk man- i just see a lot of “Lan Wangji has always been protecting Wei Wuxian” posts and its like...#I mean... Lan Wangji has always certainly been trying to protect Wei Wuxian#it took him a long time to figure how to successfully do that though#rereading the books rn and noticing theres a lot of instances that could be read as lwj being frustrated over his inability to protect wwx#like he seemed ready to cry when wwx went missing for a while and then came back with the cursed leg#lwj has always been great at protecting wwx from physical threats (ex: waterborn abyss) but had no idea how to protect him from himself#meanwhile wwx has always been instictually good at saving lwj from both#like I'm 100% lwj would've become like Jiang Cheng if wwx hadn't snapped him out of the blindly following authority thing#and also like... 15 y/o lwj wasnt happy with his life. he was lonely and stressed and literally signing up to be flogged whenever he goofed#wwx is who allowed lwj to grow up by showing him what it was like to actually be a kid (shown in story whenever lwj gets drunk)#he led lwj to having a more flexible mindset. and it both let lwj relax and set lwj up to be a better parent#looking into lwj's dynamic with the juniors- he lets them break a fuck ton of the petty rules and encourages them to question authority#he also teaches them to not be married to any one meathod of problem solving#wwx is also able to save lwj from his own stubbornness#ex: carrying lwj when he broke his leg. getting lwj to cough up bad blood. getting lwj to keep the rabbits#wwx also tends to give lwj the words he has trouble saying himself. helps him communicate#wwx also protects lwj in fights a lot but thats narratively less important#except the various times wwx puts himself in danger to help lwj. those times are what made it so lwj could never move on from wwx#like with the cave incident#or when wwx helped surpress the arm instead of using the chaos to escape cloud recesses#tldr i guess: i think this fandom tends to treat lwj being the best like its natural to him when really wwx accidentaly rewired his brain#I'm looking directly at fanfic writers who act like the Lans would've treated wwx better than the Jiangs#lwj had to do so much work and self reflection post meeting wwx to be the way he is. he is not the sole product of the Lan teachings

It’s incredibly funny (and incredibly telling) to me that every time we see Frost have the love curse (not even in ouaw, since he was only affected by a love potion, and it literally went nowhere), he just. Gets incredibly horny.
Sure, in the non-canon pre-ouaw Feywild campaign, Nikkie kinda started the horniness with the “that’s one sexy cat/goblin” thing, but in OUAW proper? When Frost drank the love potion, and fell in love with Kremy, he immediately asked if Kremy would want to sit on the Ferris Wheel together with him. Alone. (Ofc it was a throwaway line that didn’t go anywhere and was promptly forgotten but yknow how I am about throwaway lines). Or how about in one of the live shows, when Frost and Torbek got affected with a love curse. Iirc, Frost was the one that instigated the horniness, and Torbek (being Torbek) was ofc along for the ride (hehe)
Something something Frost being aromantic and thus the love curses not affecting him the same way as it does the others, so he just gets horny instead
#hey guys correct me if I’m wrong but like#within the confines of ouaw canon#not including anything that may have happened before episode 1#I’m pretty sure Frost has the highest body count. sexually I mean.#I mean. he slept with both Gid and Torbek. and I feel like there’s another person im forgetting but I don’t think there is.#so frost has slept with at least 2 people within just what we see ep 1 and onwards#meanwhile Torbek has only slept with 1 (being frost) and gid is like. technically 1 and a half.#bc it’s implied he fucked taxsie off screen. but like. I picture the pixies being able to fit in the palm of your hand.#and Gid is like. much bigger than that. like I’m pretty sure his dick alone might’ve been her height.#if not bigger. idk how tall pixies are. I might’ve just insinuated that Gid has a tiny dick. which would be hilarious.#anyway. I don’t really count taxsie bc how the fuck.#ofc I know Gid almost certainly has the highest body count if we count before episode 1#but I’m not so#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#ouaw#morning frost#Kremy love curse: mostly the same. just very clingy.#Gideon love curse: kinda horny. kinda clingy. pretty sweet tho.#frost love curse: hnngh guys I need to get dicked down rn or else I will DIE#< side note. I know a lot of fic writers like to make frost a dom but like. Yall.#that man is certainly a bottom. I mostly just see this with Grimmorning and grimmorbek fics#so I just think yall are lazy. be brave. make the 3ft goblin top. it is certainly possible.

I don’t mean to push but when will the next chapter come out? I can’t wait to see our bbg telephone commercials again
hey love—thank you for asking 💛 i really appreciate the excitement, and it means a lot that you’re looking forward to the next chapter.
that said, i’ve been feeling really burnt out lately. people have been testing boundaries and pushing in ways that just… take the fun out of it. it’s easy to say “just ignore it” or “they’re only invested,” but when you’re getting hit with passive digs across four platforms because someone didn’t like a choice i made or how a scene was written, it starts to wear you down. and ngl, it’s gotten me a little insecure about even posting at all.
don’t worry though—this doesn’t mean i’m abandoning the story. i’m just taking a break from posting and shifting focus to some other projects for now. i’ll be back, and so will the chaos. thank you again for wondering, truly 🫶🏽
#xani-responds: godly things#yeahhhhh maybe i underestimated this whole fanfic visibility thing#like being perceived is cute until it's NOT 😭#shoulda stayed a silent reader fr#me @ me: why did you write a whole novel and post it publicly???#im on a down day rn#but don’t worry the chaos will return 💅#just taking a break from posting not from plotting#telephones will ring again 📞#im dramatic AND sensitive AND still gonna curse yall out when i come back#fanfic burnout is real yall#be kind to your local chaotic writer pls#thanks for the love tho seriously 🫶🏽

"Life Before Near Death Experience"
I walked through days without a pause Chasing dreams without a cause Laughed too loud and cried too small Thought I had time to have it all I spoke too fast and heard too slow Let precious people come and go Held my pride above my peace Never learned the art of ease The sky was blue but never deep I stayed awake when I should sleep Love felt distant like a star Too afraid to reach that far I wore a smile I didn’t feel I called the broken moments real I let the silence pass me by Afraid to ask the reasons why Then came a hush, a slowing breath A touch so close, the hand of death The world grew still, the light turned low And all I feared began to show I saw my life in quiet frames Not full of glory, not of flames But full of things I left behind The softer ways, the kinder mind I never hugged my mother long I never finished half my songs I never said what needed said I kept it all inside instead And in that hush I came to see That life is more than “just let me be” It’s in the glance, the gentle air The whispered proof that someone cares Now I return with softer eyes With deeper breath, and no disguise And though that door was close to me It taught me how to truly be

"And we will be like the dancing nymphs in Botticelli's paintings." - The Priest and Archdeacon
#big - she is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness - vibes with patrick#which is interesting because while patrick is dressed as venus in this 16th century play he's hosting at his home#he is secretly a devotee to Freya and practices magic in her name#Patrick is one of my favorite characters - because he is really morally ambigious and despite being an archdeacon and eventually becoming#a bishop he is literally a whole witch on the side in secret - he loves that for himself - he also does spells for people and they won't#tell because he has a track record of cursing people#writers on tumblr#writers of tumblr#web weave#spilled ink#creative writing#poetry#writing community#writeblr#web weaving#typography#love quotes#love poem#dark academia#academia#queer characters#queer romance#original poetry#literature#literary quotes#my writing#painting

I know it's out of character but I don't care.
I want a silly little comic of batman reaching up to Superman and saying "uppies" with the most serious, brooding batman face a batman can make.
#maybe add a second part where bruce is being carried princess style#ao3#ao3 writer#batman#superman#dc comics#dcu#batfamily#bruce wayne#clark kent#batman comics#it would make me so happy#its been a shitty two weeks#the ao3 curse definitely exists#or maybe i have bad luck

the great thing about falling really deep into a new media niche is developing opinions on many new things. the terrible thing about falling really deep into a new media niche is developing opinions on many new things
#fjdkfdjkfd.#anyway. last week a trailer came out for something only called kidnap. which is hilarious because that's a blocked tumblr tag#it's a romance (with the kidnapper. who is secretly only doing it to pay a medical bill). i don't think it sounds or looks very good#& considering who is airing this and their history with Edgy Content the keyword here will probably be Bland. or maybe Toothless#but unfortunately...... tragically...... one of the leads is an actor i'll take in literally anything.#so i've spent my week periodically being attacked by this insignificant bit of knowledge and experiencing shrimp emotions#literally just. going about my day. thinking 'kidnap'. going OOF. then remembering i'm in the middle of brushing my teeth#also. i found out the original writer of bad romance & together with me is ALSO the writer of not me. and it's things like this#that would take like. twenty layers of explanation of these properties in general and also my takes on them specifically#and how it contrasts or aligns with their general perception. to even come CLOSE to explaining the mental hit i took from that#i need a corkboard and some red thread. and then probably three more corkboards#for day 1 that is. i think i have a week's worth of loosely connected spontaneous deep dive video essays i could do off the top of my head#ah well. the curse of having interests#*

I just thought how each book in the inkheart, inkspell, Inkdeath trilogy explores big questions in literature.
Inkheart: what if characters from books became real?
Inkspell: what if we came into the book?
Inkdeath: what if a fanfic writer got in control of the world?
The last one is about Orpheus idk the least obvious one.
#inkheart#inkspell#inkdeath#inkheart: I don’t want to be real :(#Inkspell: if no one else is going to fix this world you are Mo because we said so#Inkdeath: author gets caught between being a very tiny bit impressed and very angry at it happening#also everyone dies and gets tortured etc#oh yeah the classical angst#and his favorite character comes back to life#Orpheus was a fanfic writer who had traded his love for the characters to be free of the ao3 curse#change my mind (you cant)#actually these tags are quite good#or nah it’s my rambling it was fun to write but probably not as fun to read
