Talk Shop Tuesday: what's one literary device you think you overuse/use the most in your work? Why are you drawn to this one so much? And what's one that you would like to use more in your future work? Is there a reason you haven't used it as much as you would like? Thanks! <3 -@fieldsofview

Ooh interesting question! Maybe foreshadowing? I love dropping hints so much 😅 though I sometimes wonder if I telegraph too much. Maybe it just seems that way to me because I already know the answers. I love using it because I feel like every good twist needs some foreshadowing to hit just right—especially since imo the best twists are guessable. And also it's just plain fun—it feels like letting my readers in on a secret, but juuust enough to still be mysterious 😉

Hmm I'd love to use imagery more. I feel like I'm not a very descriptive writer—I'm more of a dialogue person, and even my descriptions lean more in the practical direction than scene-setting/visualization direction. Like...I can describe what my characters are doing and feeling, but sometimes it feels like my characters are talking inside a white room

(which I've heard is common for screenwriters, which is funny since I've never written a screenplay before 😅 though I've always sorta envied screenwriters for not having to do much scene-setting aside from just straight-up TELLING)

Still, it's something I wanna work on in my prose!

Ooh and I'd love to use more puns too. I find them delightful, I just struggle to make good ones 😅 or any ones

talk shop tuesday!

#talk shop tuesday #(on a wednesday lol)#if anyone wants to send more TST asks today…feel free!#even if you sent one yesterday #and especially if you didn’t get the chance to 👀

my sweet little baby man is no longer with us

#he had his bloodwork done yesterday and the vet said it was fine but he doesnt have much time left #and my bestie is a vet tech who wanted to see the lab results bc she always does and she looked at them #and asked me if she can shiw them to her boss today and i was like sure and immediately knew something was up #today keekki was being himself #then i went to run some errands and when i came back he was laying in front of the front door with his tiny baby head against it #and i was like ''oh ok one of his seizures?''#and theyre like. keekki will drool and not move and they usually last for like 20 minutes (several vets have no idea whats up with those #but it was probably either a kidney or a blood pressure thing)#anyways. it did not pass in 20 minutes so i Knew #i laid on the floor next to him #then my bff sent me a message asking me if i have the time to talk about keekki and its not good news #at this point i was about to call the vet anyways #and she was like ''ok i showed these to my boss (a vet) and she got super angry that ur vet even let you leave the clinic''#bc apparently keekkis bloodwork was so bad he should have been put down then and there but my vet was like a fresh half graduate #so i dont hold it against her. anyways i got an euthanasia appointment for this evening and spent the time before it laying on the couch #crying with keekki in my arms #i had to carry him bc he couldnt really walk without stumbling and falling down #when i had to get up to get his carrier and stuff ready he was taking a nap on the couch where i left him and i took this pic #anyways worst vet visit of my life i could hardly even do anything but nod half the time bc speaking results in me sobbing #anyways. this fucking sucks #i dont know how ill be able to sleep tonight #its been years since i last slept at home without having a little guy plop into my arms #i spent a long time with him in the vet room when he was gone #it feels surreal ive given him his last ever forehead kisses #as i left the room i told him bye the exact same way ive been saying bye to him for the last very many years ive had him #its always moikka keekki before i go to work or the store or literally anything #and that was my last moikka keekki #i hope he felt how loved he was #my dad is sending me older pics of me and keekki and he looks so happy in them. hes always right next to me #idk man im going to stop rambling now

questioning sexuality is so exhausting

#(edit: sorry for the rant in the tags and i just. i want someone to talk to me)#i keep on doing it for no apparent reason #someone was talking about lust yesterday and i realised today that.#even tho id thought i don't experience it. i possibly do. but exclusively towards women.#i hate it here!#for a multitude of reasons i will never have a relationship with a woman but! i may be incapable of having a relationship with a man!#at some point in the last few months i have abruptly pivoted from definitely wanting marriage and kids to being ambivalent on marriage #and not wanting kids. that's such an outlier in my life that it might just be a mental health thing tho idk #but at the same time i. want to be loved.#i don't know what i want anymore and im tired of questioning myself #i definitely overthink it but idk how to stop it #and i hate hate hate how the moral obsessions have bee lately #this isn't entirely related but it kind of is #like Am i a terrible morally bankrupt person for having certain thoughts or is it just religious ocd go brrrr?? am i overthinking it?#i don't know. i don't know!#for a while labelling myself as arospec ace kinda calmed that down but. i don't know #i do't want to be attracted to women. i don't want to have to look away so often. i don't want any of that.#but i don't know how to stop it.#i don't even know if i'm attracted to men at all.#this is a cry for help and encouragement and prayers no matter what your views on these matters are #queer stuff tag #i nearly fessed up to my friend yesterday about same sex attraction and i might've except that it would have probably outed me as #the person who anonymously sent in a question several months ago about the side b movement to a church thing #ive only told one person at church about any of that sort of stuff and it was very vaguely worded #also see: this friend is the mother of the boy i?? i don't even know how i feel about him #i increasingly think it wasn't romantic at all. but i don't know #i would love any encouragement you got. anything at all.#i don't know how much this stuff is affected by the fact that i consider myself unloveable and think it highly unlikely any boy will ever #care for me #now im rambling. sorry

Btw sorry for not getting to asks and drawing lately, I've been busy for almost the whole past week. hangs my head low

#clemramble #last week I was stuck on dog watching duty for 3 days which doesnt sound bad #until you realize one of them is like 16 years old and losing control of certain body functions. old age and all you know the drill #and then right after i was done iwas sent to my grandmothers and ive been doing stuff with her #so whenever i am online its like snrrk mimimimi ... i tried to draw yesterday but almost nothing came out right #but rest assured. i will get to work sooner or later.#i usually dont apologize for inactivity since a.) i have a life outside of social media and b.) i put my trust that you all #also understand that and wont start sending pitchforks and fire in my inbox #likewise i try not to publicly talk about my life in greatdetail but what harm could it hurt for you all to know i have an old dog.#ANYWAYS ENOUGHOF THAT #i will get back on that grind soon... even if its just sketches #just have to wait for that rest period to get over . i DESPERATELY need to work on my askblog.#i did not forget about it im just conflicted bc i want to use the new brush but the canvas is too small for it so im trying to find alts #...or else ill have to redraw the entire background . shudders. gets scared

I swear. I comprehend I’m not the best teaching intern in the world. I also was not the best camp counselor, cashier, and so on. But if my observer gives me so much criticism that I cry again I’m going to be so motherfucking pissed.

Especially since she’s asking me to stay late just to review me. While I have family visiting. And I’m gone for most of the day. And my commute is over half an hour. Which isn’t bad around here but still.

#vent #I’m working on it but I cry after like 5+ concentrated minutes of disappointment from bosses and such #we’re staying late because she observed yesterday but #but just like last week she thought my planning period was *at the wrong spot*#it turns out that I did tell her wrong twice FUCK #BUT THERE WAS ALSO ONE TIME I DID TELL HER RIGHT I SWEAR. PLUS I TOLD HER LAST WEEK IN PERSON. I COMBED THROIGH MY EMAILS #I just sent an email with all the correct information so hopefully that resolves the issue #I cried for like two days last week. her criticism is fairly valid but alsoooooo I’m trying to work with my partner Teachers values& methods #WHICH THE OBSERVOR ESPOUSED. last week she was like ‘omg your partner teacher is the best omg you better treat her as the great resource #that she is’ and meanwhile I like my partner teacher but her methods are boring and teacher centered #she swears it’s how she gets through to these kids and I can see that #like by tenth grade a huge change in educational structure would probably be more distracting than helpful for the better part of a year to #these kids #especially since I’m here for maybe a month.#not worth fucking these kids over #and considering the students get to use their notes on tests im just. kind of blanking on better ideas???#even the kids in the ‘smart’ periods are so hesitant with so many math skills #I just want to fix it but I’m basically at the end of the process. idk #my cashier job made me come in on my day off (I did clock in) to get criticized #idk how to stand up about this with a woman who can decide whether I pass or not but god I hope this isn’t going to be a pattern #she didn’t have ONE fucking good thing to say about me last week #my mom suggested that I ask for a compliment when I’m near tears because that might stave off any tears #I’m hoping her method works

sunday six :D

taking the initiative for a change.... so i'm going to boop @four-white-trees @passthroughtime @skysquid22 @overdevelopedglasses

chipping away at sensei fic this week! here's kitakata and yagami making out lol excuse my bluntness... don't feel obligated to read if you're not into that o7

Yagami reached for Kitakata’s arm, found his hand, and guided it to his hip. Yagami pulled away from the kiss.

“Touch me, would you?”

Kitakata’s breath was warm on his lips. “Where would you like it?”

“Figure it out yourself.” He said and kissed him again. Kitakata didn’t seem to complain. His fingers slipped under the hem of Yagami’s shirt, meeting skin. He touched along the base of his spine, and Yagami couldn’t suppress the slight shiver that went through him. He could only imagine how gratifying this was for Kitakata. Hell, just seeing Yagami checking him out probably made his whole week, now this. He’d never be able to stop him from flirting now.

Yagami leaned into Kitakata’s hold, into his mouth, against that eager tongue. He was about to make Kitakata’s whole damn year.

#sunday six #good evening kuwagami nation #excuse my eagerness i've been sitting on this snippet for days #funnily enough an accidental pair with the last sunday six i posted #feels like i'm starting to make a bit more progress thank goodness #i've been needing to go over this scene for a long time and i finally did!#unlike my last sunday six this one is basically all new writing #the “make his week/year” thing was from the previous version of this scene and that's about it #for reference they first kiss at.... page 16 of my doc #and this is after the second kiss (unless i make drastic changes) and it's on.... page 44. lol #i know that doesn't say a whole lot since font size but yknow. just for reference as to how i'm going #not used to working on anything that's not a short oneshot so it's been an experience for sure #excuse my waffling i just can't stop yapping about sensei fic #four-white-trees can you just pretend you didn't get sent this whole scene yesterday? great wonderful thank you

my parents want my little brother, who has had a fever no lower than 100 F for the past 2-3 days, to go to school tomorrow

#status update #i'm gonna try and tell them why that's stupid #they took him to the doctor but the doc just said he had a cold #well I'm concerned with how badly his body is fighting it off!!!#plus they didn't give him any medicine all day #i gave him some before I left for work and after I got home #his fever is still 102 #i don't understand their thought process whatsoever #like yeah school is imoortant but so is #A: not spreading illness!!!!!!#B: actually being able to focus in class because you feel good and not like shit #he even said that he'll probably be sent home anyway BECAUSE HE'S SICK #the issue I think is mainly he doesn't have a lot of symptoms #he said his throat felt “gummy” which no one - not even himself - can make heads or tails of #his stomach hurts and he threw up pretty recently #and his vision dimmed a few times but my mom doesn't really believe that one #I tried looking up the symptoms but it just said “eat a turkey sandwich” so thanks for that google #I don't know #i'm just worried about him #and I think it's stupid my parents want him to go to school when even by their standards he has such a bad fever #by the standards bit I mean they consider 100 F to be “low grade” even though 104 is danger territory #and that's just a hop skip and a jump away #AND ALSO HE IS LITERALLY ON THE PRECIPICE OF THAT RIGHT NOW #AND THEY DIDNT GIVE HIM ANY TYLENOL #he was home all day what did they even do #they also didn't give him medicine yesterday until I got home from my ap test #OKAY I'm done ranting I'll be here all night if I keep it up

Does every uni do this thing and you have to message teachers to ask them to be your thesis' director or is it just my uni that thrives on humiliation

#i have been sittin on it for a week bc i honestly couldn't and the days pass by me like sand thru my hands #but how come two of the teachers i asked have already filled their spots (2).... how did people know already what they wanted to do....#and you need to know your theme and title and what youre going to do and how and just.... damn it is the end of june...#one teacher i sent an email yesterday hasnt responded yet so i am crafting emails and documents for two others bc they all responded within #a day.....#i have never been this close to ritualistic suicide i am having stress dreams about a teacher i had that passed away 😭😭 what the hell #<- joking about the suicide as we all do but goddamn the stress #i dreamt that i had three models to do and my project partner didnt do shit #now in this one with my teacher i had no money bc i spent it on a taylor swift show??? and i was sitting there like i dont even like this #why did i pay for this #so funny retroactively #uni #talking tag

Doing a group project with four useless dudes ...

#“did we have to hand in this thing two days ago?” yeah lol I messaged the chat about that multiple times #“what is this simulation going to look like” maybe if you came to class ever #the way one of them messaged yesterday being like “sorry I was MIA :( I had a lot of midterms”#like bitch you think you're the only one with midterms?#the fact that I've done like 80% of the work and these bozos can't even bother to read through clearly written documents I sent them #txt.

#okay so the chances that you'll see this are slim #but. if you are the one who talked to me with your mom while waiting for autographs at the end of the convention yesterday #i am sorry for converting your mom to the finale 'conspiracy theory' 😂#I don't normally go around trying to convince everyone of spngate. but it came up in the conversation organically!!!!#and she was so receptive like 'that makes so much sense oh my god' that i just kept going #laying the whole foundation and pointing out the parts of s15 that warned us of the network battle (becky's episode for example)#and i gotta say. the absolutely incredible satisfaction i got from successfully explaining this to a 'general audience' fan........#it will carry me for weeks 😂 like omg it DOES make sense! even to people who arent obsessed with destiel!#like just a relatively normal person who loves supernatural and went with her daughter to her first convention #anyway yeah. i know the person I'm talking to isnt reading this. so for everyone who IS here. i need you to know #if you are ever talking to a normie spn fan who says they hated the ending... you can be honest with them ❤️#we even exchanged emails and i sent her the finale script with all the OMITTED and she said she likes me and wants to be friends 🥲

#I cannot even begin to express my rage at how this day has gone #my big second year project #which I’ve been working on since June #is due on Monday #I sent drafts off to my two advisors last week #one of them got back to me yesterday and had critiques/points to push further or clarify #but was overall very positive #(this is the Jewish history one)#this morning the imperial history advisor sends me his notes #rapturous about how much new material there is #and then immediately demanding I axe three of the sections and make it all about state history #because focusing on court cases adjudicated within the synagogues and naming practices is ‘distracting’#you looked at the outline for this on four separate occasions [name redacted]#and never asked me to do anything to those sections #those massive. required me to translate from 3 different languages. key to my argument sections #I don’t care that you don’t take Jewish history seriously you asshole #you admitted me as a Jewish early modernists #and you will suffer through watching [other advisor] examine me in a Sephardi orals field and me submitting a Sephardi prospectus #and dissertation and articles for publication #god I fucking hate academia #every day I’m more and more convinced I’m just going to go work in diplomacy or banking #it’ll put the LSE degree and the Russian language certification and my Arabic to actual good use #and I won’t spend the next 40 years dealing with this assininity #not the stones #me stuff
