#does this count as a vent post? i'll tag it as venting just in case.

[total-drama-brainrot]

Every time I open my google docs I think to myself "this time I'll write something, at least a couple hundred words of something," and every time without fail I just chew on the bars of my enclosure and write nothing like the caged cowardly beast I am.

Heeeey why don't you accept requests :( Writing request and suggestions are the same?? Theres no different imo

might count as a 'vent' for some people so just in case i'll put it under the cut!

cw: vent(-ish, though tbh all of this is /gen and /nm)

in summary: because i write for myself.

and to answer your question - no, they're not the same, from my point of view.

for example, this is what i'm doing currently if you've noticed: you might send me idea A. i might or might not agree with idea A and just leave it at that. i might get inspired from idea A and expand more upon it. i might get inspired from idea A and write another idea that isn't exactly related to idea A - maybe B, Z, or even 123. i might not get any inspiration from idea A, reply with a 'this is good i like this', and then come back the next day to refer back to idea A because suddenly my tiny writer brain manages to expand upon idea A.

this means that i have full creative freedom over what i write, and i'm not constrained to a specific bubble (prompt & time). that's why i said i won't write requests but i do take suggestions. i need people to know that there's no guarantee that what you're sending in will get a full fic or drabble or scenario or headcanon or whatever it is that you wanted to see. because ultimately i am writing for my own satisfaction.

compare that to a typical writing request blog. you send a writer idea A. if the writer is comfortable and inspired to write idea A, then they write idea A. otherwise, it sits on their draft for days, months, even years. alternatively, it gets deleted - either immediately or after some time has passed. in that case, sometimes the writer feels guilty, other times they don't, but trust me when i say the former doesn't feel good. in any case, maybe they post an announcement of cleaning their ask box, and some are unfortunate enough to receive hate saying that they're "inconsiderate" and "can't write for shit"- look, it sucks, okay. i've been there. therefore, i will confidently say this:

this blog is not and will never be a writing request blog.

i've abandoned so many of those in the past because i am tired of writing for people and not getting any feedback whatsoever compared to the effort i put on it, and dealing with the stress of having unfinished requests laying around was horrible.

at least, in this blog, i get to write what i want, when i feel like it. i don't feel like i owe anyone anything. and when a post flops, then it flops - it's sad but in the end who cares because i had a blast writing it. and if a post gets 7492849283 notes, then it puts a smile on my face, brightens my day, and i move on with my day with a little pep in my step. in the end, i still get to make fellow writer friends and kind reader friends. and while i still appreciate my followers, all the lovely tags, comments, and kind replies, and although i will occasionally crave for interactions, in the end i'll always remember that i'm doing this for my self-enjoyment.

and i think that's enough for me.

so yeah, if you're here expecting me to write your request, i'd suggest you to go to other blogs (but make sure to read their rules first before requesting!!). there are a lot of talented writers out there that writes for genshin. i'm sure one of them would be more than willing to write the content you want to consume. just please, if they do write your request, go and support them. give them a like and at a minimum a reblog. maybe even add a little comment. unlike me, you owe them that at least, since they wrote it for you.

am i saying that other writing blogs are 'doing it wrong'? definitely not, everyone has their own motivations for writing and running a blog.

does that mean i don't appreciate the reblogs and comments and asks sent to me? no, your validations are still very much appreciated and your comments puts a smile on my face.

am i selfish? yeah, probably.

fingers crossed i managed to convey what i wanted to say properly and didn't offend anyone with this slkdjfslkdjf

• I've literally had this blog since I was like 11, do not go too far into my posts because, as anyone does, there are posts I deeply regret <3 (now whether I apologize for them or not is a different story)

• I have a very strange taste in music compared to other girlies by the looks of it- I love Breakcore, Lolicore, Raggacore, DnB, Hyperpop (AS LONG AS IT HAS GOOD VOCALS, I RARELY HAVE HEARD A HYPERPOP SONG WHERE THE VOCALS WERENT STRAIGHT CHEEKS.) Trap, JERSEYYY <33333, Future Funk, French House, and others I can't think of off the top of my head rn. Pretty pink audiophiliac! <3
