one secret thing about the relationship between storyteller and story is that the story is not a submissive obedient thing that accepts the will of the storyteller. it fights back and demands to have a certain shape, like characters refuse to do or say things and scenes refuse to appear too early or too late. it's a living thing that you're in a complex and vaguely toxic relationship with as you try to bring it into the world. like sometimes it is actually helpful, loudly suggesting the right path forward, but often it's actively unhelpful, just saying 'nope' over and over until you figure out what it's unhappy about. the more complex the story the more objections it has and the more opportunities to be stubborn as hell. it's truly infuriating to be like "well.. the story won the fight today" because who's the sentient person in this relationship?? me!! and yet...... i still lose.

It's been a year to the day since I completed my Eternal Sunshine of the Absent Mind Moon Knight fic trilogy, so I thought I'd commemorate the occasion with some Jake Lockley art inspired by the series, with a dash of A Monster Calls for angsty flavour. Enjoy! 💜

my other favourite thing about bagginshield fics is when the authors write in the initial notes of the fic something along the lines of, "this fic has taken some liberties with canon but if Peter Jackson can do it so can we" because truly: if Peter Jackson can do it, so!!! can!!! we!!!

i think it'd be funny if someone transmigrated as xin mo. the goddamn evil sword. instead of taking it seriously, they just really fucked around with bingge. and, somehow, ended up having the opposite effect of what it's supposedly rumored to do.
picture this: bingge, on the quest for revenge and power, comes across the almighty xin mo. this demonic sword killed everyone that dared to even try wielding it. and, the few who were lucky enough to have it by their side, eventually succumbed to the swords' will.
it is said that the sword is unlike any other, that it etches into your head and eats away your brain, until eventually it consumes you whole. it whispers, speaking in lust, greed, and hatred. it slowly beckons the wielder into giving in to the worst part of themselves and feeds off of pure sin. but to him, it is no matter; luo bingge will surely tame it.
and then he gets to the sword.
demonic qi practically oozes from xin mo. the aura surrounding it makes every part of luo bingge scream, "run; get away, away from that monster." his gut prods at him, begging bingge that this is probably a really bad idea. it's a little terrifying, how even luo bingge, the determined, vengeful demon, is now getting second thoughts about wielding xin mo from just being in its presence alone.
but luo bingge is too, a monster. so he ignores the screams of plea; pushing every thought of doubt in the back of his head, and tightly grips onto the handle. the world around him seems to spin and shake, tumble and crack, from the amount of force bingge needs to use in order to pull the sword of sin out of its place.
when bingge finally has it perfectly fit into the palms of his calloused hands, he hears whispering. he knows that the sword has accepted him as its new host.
the sword's language crawls up to him, as if it were feeling around his body and mind. checking every nook and cranny for it to settle into bingge's form, truly becoming one with the embodiment of sin. the words flow through his brain like a tragically broken guqin, a melody that holds him in a frighteningly familiar trance - all while simultaneously eating away at his brain in the worst ways possible, akin to a child and their favorite snack. it seems to beckon something, but even with luo bingge's impressive hearing, he cannot make out any words from the tone-deaf musical notes xin mo sings.
and then, it is clear. the land around him settles, and everything is still. xin mo itself seems to be.. content. at least, that is what luo bingge believes.
the language of this wretched sword reflects the state around these two monsters.
luo bingge expects it to demand for bloodshed, for the erotic ecstasy of multiple women, for bingge to steal the last of the finest gems of these horrible, vast lands.
instead, he hears this:
"yoooo damn that shit was crazy. did you see what i did there? man, you know, it feels so fucking good to get out of the dirt. hey, do you know if people can like, feed their swords or something? i'm kinda craving something spicy. we never know, in this wack world! wait, don't hold me like that, buddy. it'll make things real awkward."
but luo bingge is determined to get his revenge, so he puts up with the swords' constant rambling about.. whatever the hell it's thinking.
"wait, dude, did you seriously fuck a dying girl? that's wild. yeah, like i know she was dying but it doesn't sound like you wanted it. yo, listen to me, consent is very sexy."
"HAHA hey, dude, sir, man. you wanna play some 'i spy'? we don't have anything else to do. no? too bad, we're playing it. i spy a loser who doesn't wanna play i spy. hint: he's holding me right now."
"okay i know i'm supposed to be this super evil sword and beg to be used - woah that sounded real wrong - but can you at least clean me when you're done killing shit? if you don't, i'm gonna refuse to respond to you and you'll look like a dumbass trying to wield me."
"i can't hear you lalalalalalala you're not being very it girl right now lallalalaalalalla-"
somehow, this is worse than if xin mo was actually eating away at his brain.
weirdly enough though, as luo bingge starts spending more time with this weird ass, seemingly possessed sword, it starts to become more of a.. comfort to have it by his side than pure annoyance. he finds himself responding to it more, like, actually having full on conversations with it. it puts him at ease, wielding xin mo. the hatred doesn't consume him, instead, it seems to soothe the burning rage (and, admittedly, just replace it with small irritation) that holds onto his darkened heart.
xin mo is actually quite kind and caring, for a sword that's supposed represent and be the literal embodiment of sin. sure, it is a hassle to have it cooperate with him sometimes, and it does just ramble on and on about the most random things ever, not giving a single shit if bingge was in the middle of sleeping with maidens and slaying those who get in his way. for the first time, bingge feels so comfortable around something.
it's.. odd. what was supposed to be the turning point in his life, a big step in his plan for revenge, is now something akin to an... acquaintance. not like mobei-jun, or any of the women he's come across, but an actual, dare he say, friend.
sometimes, he finds himself thinking all of this delusional. is this what people were driven mad by? perhaps they simply could not handle dealing with a talking sword. he understands that xin mo was undoubtedly unbearable to be around at the beginning of their alliance, but it has never actually beckoned for blood, power, and sex. if anything, it does the opposite.
maybe he's the delusional one. maybe this is xin mo's way of getting to him.
maybe, xin mo should be considered a thing. the thought feels terribly laughable, as if he were witnessing a person horribly explain themselves. it also makes his teeth grind together in pure agitation.
"hey, you know, you didn't deserve any of the things they did. it wasn't your fault, binghe. the fact that you're half heavenly demon doesn't make you a monster, or any of that wild stuff.. uh, i'm here for you, okay? i know you don't really like talking about all of this or opening up, but i just want you to know that you can.. talk about it. it's not like i can tell anyone else, anyways.
hey- shit i didn't mean to make you cry! wait, wait it's okay to cry! you need to let it out anyways, i promise it doesn't make you weak. there, there. i don't have any hands, so me patting you on the head with my handle will have to do. there, there.. everything will be alright, you'll be okay. i'll be here every step of the way, even if you want to get rid of me."
xin mo, the demonic sword, is more of a person - a good person - than anyone he'd ever come across.
...and then bingge and the xin mo transmigrator become besties or he falls for the damn sword. knowing him, he probably doesn't even know the difference between platonic and romantic attraction anyways. maybe bingge gets a plant body for xin mo using airplane's wack writing. idk i typed all of this down in one sitting.
(plot twist: it's not that the transmigrator xin mo had the opposite effect, it was literally just a placebo effect. luo bingge thought that, and thus it actually did help him lmao)

I love it when writers on reader x Loki fanfics with the relationship already there, makes Y/N essentially wearing the pants in the relationship.
A Y/N that’ll protect Loki no matter what.
A Y/N that is the definition of ‘Hel hath no fury like a woman scorned’.
A Y/N that even LOKI can get scared of sometimes.
Love it.
It’s my bread and butter of fanfics.
You put in a scene of a deranged Y/N flailing around and cussing at Thanos while Loki is holding her back.
“Easssyyy Love, h-he didn’t meant it…”
“LIKE HEL HE DID!!!!”
Love that.
I need that shit.

Ways to Say "I Love You"
So I've been thinking about some of the writing tips I've been given over the years, and I keep coming back to this one...
When it comes to writing romance, find unique ways to say "I love you."
It characterizes the relationship. And it can turn a romantic moment into an iconic moment.
Here are some of my favorite examples:
"As you wish." (The Princess Bride)
"You did not go over the wall." / "No, George. I did not go over the wall." (Queen Charlotte)
We’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.” (The Notebook)
"To me, you are perfect." (Love Actually)
"I hate it when you're not around, And the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, Not even close, Not even a little bit, Not even at all." (10 Things I Hate About You)
"What was I before you? Nothing." (The Boys)
"You make me want to be a better man." (As Good As It Gets)
"You're my exception." (He's Just Not That Into You)
"You have bewitched me, body and soul." (Pride & Prejudice)
Other examples:
"It's you. It's always been you."
"I need you."
"I'm yours." / "You're mine."
"Stay with me."
I can't quit you."
"You're it for me."
"I wouldn't change you, even if I could."
"I don't deserve you." / "It's not about what you deserve."
"You're everything."
What's one of your favorite "I love you's?" Could be on this list, or one of your own! 😘

guys... no ship survives without fan content, no fandom ship survives without fanfics, without headcanons, fanarts, manips... a fandom can survive with lack of canon content, but it can't survive without fans. just keep that in mind, support your content creators.

very tiny detail that i love in bagginshield fics is Bilbo's light feet resulting in Thorin and any of the dwarrow being completely caught off guard when he seemingly appears out of nowhere

Hey friendly reminder that binding and selling other people’s fanfiction is in fact illegal, can get the writer in a butt load of trouble, and it’s just rude :)
