early morning malware analysis today 🌅 I think I've settled on taking messy handwritten notes while I'm going through the material for the first time (sketching out diagrams helps!), and then typing them up and adding them to my Obsidian vault. it'll take a bit to get into the workflow, but I really want to build up a centralized place for all my notes.

I'm done with chapter 6 now, and tonight my game plan is to start tackling the labs for this chapter!

✅ 💕 🎀 🌅 🤔 ⛔ 🔥

Ohh hi thank you for the questions!! Game on 😎😎

✅ list one or two favorite lines you’ve written and explain why they’re your favorite

Oooof this is a hard one!! I had to rack my brain for a while.

I love this section in dreamers:

“Sirius writes slowly, takes his time to decide the right word and only taints paper when he is sure. Reads five words back each time he manages a word forward.

Their eyes meet when Remus looks up from across the table. He is writing a book, and you can see it, bedtime stories beneath his dark iris. He smiles tenderly at him.

Dreams, Sirius writes down.”

Why well I ate with this. There’s theme and character analysis there’s gay yearning there’s Remus’s soulful eyes. I think it’s a very vivid scene, like it’s very visual and has a pulse. It’s also sexyyyy. I think it goes very well with this other section from dreamers:

“Since they first had sex, Remus seamlessly weaves into his writing as an antithesis, a crystalline stream of singing water where there is remorse sucking him dry, a wide expanse of forest where there are concrete walls enclosing him in a small space, dreams where there are holes in his memories.

Sometimes he reads them aloud, when they’re alone and warm in bed, and he figures Remus understands it because he kisses him in a way that’s just impossible -“

Likeeeeeee call the cops on me and put me up in jail cause why is this so heartbreaking and homosexual. But yaaa I think this second section reads pretty and it builds on the theme of remus as dreams and poetry and freedom and beauty and I love !!! how much life r breathes into s in this little story. Dreamers is the people’s princess fr.

💕 whats your favorite part of your writing process?

Daydreaming about putting my blorbos in situations is elite. I love the little eureka moment when I have a good idea! Had a good one for my wip the prophecy yesterday and have been riding that high since.

🎀 how do you decide when something is done?

I write very very chronologically meaning I only write scene 2 when scene 1 is done, and I like to publish chapters as I go. So a story is done when I write the final scene. Not really a big editor, if there’s typos it goes with typos mwah. As for a scene hmm it feels done when I read and I go alright chaps thats it for today.

🌅 do you typically known the ending to something before you start writing it?

Hmm I think it differs from fic to fic. Generally for my longer ones I have an ideia of where its going theme/ takehome message wise, and then how we get there/ how it unravels I usually work out halfway. But it really differs like for blue I knew pretty well how it was gonna go from the jump but for abyss I was just along for the ride.

🤔 why do you write fic?

What else is a mentally ill gay to do in this day and age!!

I always liked writing - as a kid I had the imagination and the social ineptitude and the pretentiousness and the reading habit to write well enough and be encouraged by adults around me. As I entered internet spaces and fan culture I fell in love with reading fanfic - still one of my favorite things to do and art form to engage with. So I suppose I write because its the creative expression that comes easiest to me, that I know how to do/ have ideas for, that I feel the most confident doing. Also sometimes I’m sad and bored and lonely and it’s nice to put all these daydreams and dialogues and desires somewhere. It’s wonderful that others want to read them and leave nice kind words - some comments have given me such profound joy?? So I also do it for the community of it. People are out there being SERIAL sweetie pies!! I also think it’s a good skill to work on and hone, I’m proud of somethings I have written (see above) and I believe I’ll write real great stuff when I’m a “real” adult heh!!

⛔️ whats something you try to avoid in your work?

Excessively morose and whiny and self-hating internal monologue — these bitches can be insecure and traumatized but get a grip! I think it’s much more interesting when characters want something but they unconsciously self-sabotage or it doesn’t work out or wtv than when characters don’t want it from the start because they don’t think they deserve it. Like I really fw that quote “there's a lot of narcissism in self-hatred” and it puts me off when I’m reading something and everything/ the whole romantic conflict is about how much the character hates themselves.

Obv they are deeply traumatized characters but I think it’s important to have room to be sexy fun and flirty!! In my writing whenever it gets too dark I make them fuck<33

🔥 what’s something that’s currently going really well?

Hmmmm I haven’t written in a hot minute BUT I got a really good comment from someone who said they’re reading all my works now which I love!!!!! I love finding a new writer with several fics from the same blorbos and it’s really cool to be that for someone else 😎😎

CHAPTER 223-SPOILER-

🛑SPOILErS 🚨SPOILERS DO NOT 🛑READ PAST THE‼️ LINE IF 🚫YOU 🚫DON'T ‼️WANT SPOILERS 🚨⛔️

Yona of the Dawn | Akatsuki no Yona chapter 223

(just my own opinions, guesses, analysis, and overall chaotic feelings. I am going to R.I.O.T. if anything els happens to *redacted.)

Okay here we go, I am so sad. I am incredibly sad because I have a feeling we are about to see a very dark dark time for Hak. Although he has always been a realist, and privy to the struggles of the outside world he has never experienced war. And he is literally on the front lines.

I am so on edge, I have no idea what will happen next chapter.

In this chapter we got to see Hak's true feeling about Soo-won's leadership, feelings even he has yet to asses and really sit with himself.

This is so important because this mirrors the previous chapter in which Soo-won was able to come to an unclouded conclusion that he could not simply dispose of Hak and Yona like he had.

This is going to prove an obstacle in and of itself for the three of them because its easy to hate someone, its easy to want someone dead, gone and just completely despise them for what they have done. But it's a complete other to accept their action and look at those actions from a place of understanding. Because understanding can be harder than forgiveness. (I dont think Yona, Hak and Soo-won will ever be able to go back to the way they were, and I dont think they will ever be able to forgive Soo-won but there still may be hope for reconciliation.)

I know Yona has come a long way in her strength as a political leader, as a fighter and as a person but I still don't think she is strong enough to just rush into the front lines and be able to hold her own. Her swordsmanship is much better but not good enough to survive any of the ruthless generals of Kai kingdom just yet. Although her skills on the bow are freighting I think she would be able to be of aid from far away (maybe this is some kind of foreshadowing because we know that the archers have been taken out. I would really love to see Yona charge in to aid the wind and fire tribe at the front lines with her bow and arrow to provide cover. I feel like if Yona charged in the sky tribe would follow her.)

I have a feeling Yona is going to go get a better look by getting closer, spot Hak and have to choose between staying by Soo-won and going to Hak. Although the answer is clearly go to Hak, and it may seem like the obvious answer Yona also has the rest of the people of Kouka watching her and must maintain the look of a united front between her and Soo-won. But at the end of the day I think if she see's Hak she might just charge in because come on its the love of her life. (I mean I would charge in and Hak is the love of Yona's life.)

Anyways back to the main point I'm so scared for Haks character development. I'm scared because in the final panel of this new chapter (223) we get a glimpse of the lightning beast killing intent when he sees Zeno's condition. It reminds me of the time he tried to kill Soo-won back in the water tribe. (I cant tell for sure here in the panel but judging from everyones reaction I have a strong suspicion that Hak just chopped off someones head or just killed someone with a spear to the face)

All in all I am so sad and worried about Hak, I need him to be reunited with the Dragons and Yona. RIGHT. NOW. Because this look, is not a good one. Hak is only 18 he is only 18 and is too young to be making this expression. (if something happens to Hak I will riot, he already reopened his wounds. I will cry, if anything els happens to him.)
