#carms longfic writing process

[halsinsnaturepocket]

Astarion girlies, would it be a reach to write him having a bit of Claustrophobia?

I feel like after he spent a year trapped barely alive in a coffin, he'd have just a touch of claustrophobia or a fear of being in any sort of small confined space.

I've been thinking a lot about how in an early version of the game you originally had to roll persuasion to get Astarion out of the pod because he was afraid of the sun....and the possibility of him being just....out of his mind terrified when you find him ((much like when you find a feral cat in a dangerous situation and you have to calm them down to take care of them))

i just think its interesting to entertain the idea of him waking up from the nautilod crash in a pod alone freaking out bc he has to choose between being burned alive by the sun ((bc he doesnt know it wont hurt him yet)) or feeling the crushing walls of a mindflayer pod crushing around him and then he breaks out, realizes the sun isn't hurting him, and sees Tav and freaks the hell out and attacks them because he's just Confused and Scared

Why the fuck did it take me so long to realize my Druid4Druid romance with Halsin/Sylvia needed more nature metaphors

Describing her waking feelings for halsin like a raging storm on the horizon threatening to destroy and consume her??? Why didnt I think of this sooner????

[halsinsnaturepocket]

Writing the slow part of the slowburn sucks what if I just publish the spicy bits I've already written with no context

Will anyone even want to read the first 3 chapters of my longfic if it's just astarion being a menace to my tav while Gale tries to contain being a simp?

im so glad its my day off and my husband is at work so I can have the most goblin hours possible.

noobdy look at my 4hrs of gameplay and I've only jut recruited astarion. I'm reloading the same scenes over and over for writing purposes

Hello Halsinners

Welcome to my writing blog where only god and strangers on the internet can judge me.

My main blog is @carmsgarms ; congrats you've found me out I'm a ✨️pervert✨️

If you know me in person no the fuck you don't 💜

You can call me Carm. (Or carms) my pronouns are she/they

This is basically my this-is-too-hot-for-main and me-ranting-about-my-writing sideblog because my sibling and some irl friends follow me there and they don't need to know how feral and horny I am for pixelated characters (Especially Halsin, Astarion, and Karlach. Mostly Halsin.)

In Progress:

Taming the Bear [pt1] [pt2 I'll get there eventually]

sub!Halsin x Sylvia (druid Tav)

Yearning for a Taste [pt1] [P2 IN PROGRESS] [writing process tag]

TavHalStarion with some voyeurism

A Strange Fruit [writing process tag]

Halstarion short. Astarion sees Halsin eating a particularly messy and juicy fruit and is just...enthralled. Yes this leads to him licking fruit juice off of Halsin. There may or may not be a bear blowjob.

Other WIPs:

In Search of Freedom - my self-indulgent triad longfic featuring Astarion x Sylvia x Halsin. The three of them are just looking for freedom and find themselves landed in the chaos of the main game's events, and find comfort in each other. Sylvia and Astarion start off as enemies, then lovers, than friends. Halsin and Sylvia fall for each other hard but try to pretend they don't. Astarion finds comfort with Halsin in ways he's never experienced. It's a very complex web that will hopefully lead to a happy little polycule.

Priest!AU Halsin [need I say more]

Coffeeshop AU [obviously]

Karlach x Shadowheart [it's way down at the bottom of the list I'm so sorry]

About Me

I'm married, half Hispanic (I'm not...completely fluent in Spanish but I can get through the basics) poly, pan/bisexual, demisexual, genderfluid [she/they] early 30s millenial. And a pisces. 100% a feral goblin. (But usually, I just say I'm queer🏳️‍🌈🐌)

I have an English degree with a minor in professional and creative writing. What am I doing with that degree? Writing fanfiction, because that degree is not what's keeping the bills paid. I realized after graduating I like writing the same way a lot of people like drawing - it's a hobby and a passion, not a career. Though bg3 has got me writing more so...maybe I'll take it more seriously again.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 90s so you know it's bad. Which means I go through intense periods of hyperfocus and writing followed by an agonizing lack of motivation and a tendency to jump around depending on what my brain latches onto.
