Oh, I know! You can take a page out of the programmer's book and use the rubber ducky method!
So first, I would recommend setting up some kind of audio recording that you can go back on to later. But get some kind of inanimate object (pets or a willing human can work too!) and begin talking about the project. You can start from the beginning, or go from where you are stuck. If you are trying to figure out a plot hole or something similar, that might be the time a real human can be helpful. But if you anticipate being rather non-sequitur, it tends to be better to do the pet/object.
Describe in detail what is happening. Assume the Ducky™ has no idea who your characters are or what your plot is. Explain your world (this might even be helpful if it is the standard world around us. It might trigger your memory to remember, oh yeah! People need to eat to survive! Or something minor that you take for granted.)
You can speak in funny voices for your different characters, explain what your characters current see, explain what your characters are thinking (even if it isn't from their perspective), or anything else your brain might cook up!
Some of my writer’s block cures:
Handwrite. (If you already are, write in a different coloured pen.)
Write outside or at a different location.
Read.
Look up some writing prompts.
Take a break. Do something different. Comeback to it later.
Write something else. (A different WIP, a poem, a quick short story, etc.)
Find inspiring writing music playlists on YouTube. (Themed music, POV playlists, ambient music, etc.)
Do some character or story prompts/questions to get a better idea of who or what you’re writing.
Word sprints. Set a timer and write as much as you can. Not a lot of time to overthink things.
Set your own goals and deadlines.
Write another scene from your WIP. (You don’t have to write in order.) Write a scene you want to write, or the ending. (You can change it or scrap it if it doesn’t fit into your story later.)
Write a scene for your WIP that you will never post/add to your story. A prologue, a different P.O.V., how your characters would react in a situation that’s not in your story, a flashback, etc.
Write down a bunch of ideas. Things that could happen, thing that will never happen, good things, bad things.
Change the weather (in the story of course.)
Feel free to add your own.
#my additions#writing tips#i use this all the time for programming#you would not believe how often my mother is helpful even though the only thing she understands is an if statement#ill be explaining a complex issue to her and she'll go like. but where does the info come from? and ill stop and realize#that like i never added a library or that the issue is in the OTHER class that the info is coming from.#ive applied rubber ducky to writing and programming and cooking and many hand crafts#my rubber ducky of choice is usually a squishy bulldog named chester#sometimes it is a rubber ducky audience and ill get like 3 or 4 of them laid out together and talk to them like a class#'chester you have a question? oh#you want to know what that variable means? welll......' and then i go into detail about it#you need to let yourself be weird with it tho else you wont get anything done

[Abandoned by the Lightners, his heart became cracked with hatred.]
Hitting a lil' too close to home?
#junie art post#ink sans#error sans#utmv#errorink#implied. but yea not the focus#this has been turning around in my mind for quite some time. im glad to finish it lmao idk if my ramblings make sense even.#so like listen. do you ever think about how similar the function of the utmv is to the dark worlds in deltarune.#in a meta narrative to fandom sense? idk the word#we are making exaggerated expanded worlds of the ordinary tools and entertainment of the real world and make it into something more#isnt that very very interesting?#and we explore every sort of possibility in that creation. both good and bad#and when all is said and done. every possibility found and the entertainment and secrets has all run out#we put it away. abandon and leave it behind#what is left? what happens to the world and characters we have created? can it sustain without us?#what of the ones left in the dark?#idk if yall saw me a few months ago but i reblogged comyet's old post of ink begging us not to leave him alone and to keep creating#yea that never left me#and seeing exactly THAT SCENARIO in deltarune made my brain iTCH#imagine an ink in King's position.... wait isnt that just underverse#mmmmmmm. darkner ink.....#also error is here too. not just for errorink or that i can't separate these two to save my life#but error is also one of the few people to be able to GET IT?? he can hear the creators too. ink cant#but hes pretty much programmed himself to avoid having a mental break down to this via reboot memory loss.#and ink has his own internal coping mechanism (hooray for short term memory loss)#these two idiots will do anything but confront truths lmfao#ahhh my favorite idiots. never change#mmmmm#deltarune

Different Anon) I grab his octo head and hugs him I kiss him and say “goo’night” Cuz jghgughggh I need a sleep buddy cuz my sleep schedule is shit XD
yeah, nowadays, who can say that they have a healthy sleep schedule? definitely not me either.
Specially if you get pestered by some living body-less head with wacky powers demanding his "kiss tax" in the middle of the night like in the case of y/n cookie.
Not what he expected but he will take what he can... for now.
... okay maybe this looks a bit weird
previous part (part 1):
A pair of lil bonuses down below, no warnings needed i guess
Bonus 1
"I'm their sleep buddy now, old rag!"
bet he is petty like that
Bonus 2
He would kick anyone's a$$, he would kick the witches' a$$es, heck, he would even kick his own a$$ if they dare to interrupt his cuddle time with y/n
Next part (part 3):
#crk x reader#shadow milk cookie x reader#cookie run kingdom x reader#crk x you#cookie run kingdom x you#shadow milk cookie x you#shadow tako#tako milk#tried to make it cute bleh#snuggling with a chopped head while sleeping is totally cute and wholesome and innocent not at all suspicious or unhinged /silly#nor would you look like a crazy criminal nope not at all nuh-uh any way to get a good night sleep is a valid way nowdays /silly#what is weirder? snuggling with a bodyless head or a headless body?#i just think this shadow tako thing fits him it's unsettling freaky funny and useful#found out another filter#damn I just discovered that krita the art program i use has a comic manager the more you know#maybe it's a bit overkill for these dumb dumb silly comics#also its colourise mask is a time saver!#hadaldemon answers#hadaldemon art

Trying out this 'Procreate' thing again.
#I don' have pen pressure but that isn't really important unless I'm shading/coloring.#I don't really use the program much outside of sketchin' n' shit.#I don't tend to draw on my computer very often since my drawing tablet setup isn't up 24/7#my desk isn't that big so I can't have it out all the time. Which is why I take so long to post drawings.#I don' want to take it out everytime I wanna draw somethin' lol.#I'm thinkin' about just investing in an apple pen just so I can shift focus onto ipad drawing. It's just more convenient to me.#We'll see how things end up.#my art#the Splurg.

Against All Odds BoyFail Danny Scores a Dilf
> DP x DC #0.2 - Copper Ice <
one again shout out to @chekhovs-slinky for the og prompt
As Danny and Sam entered their shared home the sounds of a action movie reached them signaling the location of their housemate.
"Were home!!!" Sam yelled into the house.
"In the cinema room!!"
They strolled further in until they reached their friend, Tucker was sat on the sofa leaving a gap that Danny flopped himself on to, groaning in embarrassment at his actions from earlier. Patting his back Tucker winced at Dannys behavior "Woah whats up with you dude? Did you mess up or something? I thought you left the shy guy act in your twenties?"
Sams laugh caught Tuckers attention " Oh he did something alright. Get this, I come up to Danny to ask him for my keys and hes totally zoned out! I finally get his attention and he tells me he thinks he has a chance to get a date with the guy hes looking at. Now, who do you think he was talking about?"
"Based on Dannys reaction I'd say Bruce Wayne?" At Tuckers reply Sam makes an X motion over her chest "EH wrong, Danny-boy over here went after Alfred Pennyworth, As in the guy that raised Bruce Wayne, As in the guy Bruces children consider their grandfather, As in the guy who is 35 years older than Danny!!"
"NO WAY WHAT" Tucker looked down at Danny on his lap and started shaking him "DANNY STOP BEING PATHETIC AND TELL ME EVERYTHING"
"Danny cant answer the phone hes dead" came Dannys muffled reply. Tucker rolled his eyes and turned back to Sam, "so what did Alfred say?"
Sitting down Sam started to, dramatically in Dannys humble opinion, regale Tucker with their evening story," im not even joking Tuck he looked like Alfred was the Cinderella to his Prince Charming with the way he ran after him. Me and Brucie looked so lost and we had to have awkward small talk about the charity until Danny came back."
At this point the force of Tuckers laughter was making him a very uncomfortable pillow so Danny rolled over to glare at him. "Danny, dude, you gotta admit its hilarious how desperate you must have looked in front of Wayne. You probably don't even know where your taking Alfred on a date do you." Dannys groan of embarrassment was answer enough for Tucker to lose it once more.
"Don't worry Danny well come up with a plan for you to woo your beau" Sam soothed as she patted his back, Danny simply groaned out of embarrassment. He had the worst friends.
The batcave was a flurry of voices all asking Alfred questions, the man in question simply arching a brow at their unruly behavior.
"Alfred are you really going on a date with that guy?! We don't even know anything about him!!" Dick was seemingly the most distraught at the news, his grandfather?? Dating?
Oracles voice crackled as she spoke through the caves speakers " His name is Danyal Danny Nightingale, 36 years old, he is the co-owner and eventual heir to DalvCo. He has a relatively clean record aside from some speeding and arrests for unruly protests."
Alfred simply sighed in response, "Master Dick, Ms. Barbara, while I understand your worry that is no reason to invade our guests privacy. And yes Master Dick I will be going on a date with Mr. Nightingale, his efforts to pursue me are commendable, and I will be giving him a chance even if it isn't earnest on my behalf."
"So youre just going along with his whims? 'tt' I expected more from you Pennyworth" Damian didn't show it outwardly but he was excited for Alfreds date. He had immediately recognized Nightingale during the gala, not because of his business, but because he was the person to bring back the purple backed gorillas from extinction. Damian had been 6 years old when he first saw a magazine featuring Daniel Nightingale. He had devoured the every word written about Daniel and it sparked the beginning of Damians infatuation with animal conservation beyond that of his families ideas.
Now seeing the opportunity to meet his role model face to face, and possibly even being related to him (if Alfred's account of Nightingale wanting to court with the intent of marriage was correct.) Damian knew what had to be done.
Damian was going to become Gothams cupid and make sure his Grandfather and role model got together.
Laying back on Tuckers legs, Danny tensed as he felt another sneeze attack coming on, halting all conversation.
ACHOO "Bless you" " Bless you" "Thanks, ugh who decided that speaking my name would cause me to sneeze"
Sam rolled her eyes at Dannys whining. "At least you dont get the calling to be summoned like with your royal title" Danny glared at Sam "gee thanks for being so compassionate, Ill be sure to sneeze on you next time"
"I wonder who's talking about me though"

the leverage team would have had a games night… once. everyone cheated so much and in such increasingly extreme ways that all mentions of monopoly are banned in their headquarters (this makes talking about marks who monopolize the market very confusing)
#leverage#nate wouldn’t cheat but he’d be by far the most annoying still. like he’d conduct a whole Scheme to win and give a little monologue wheneve#he made a good move and everyone would want to kill him#parker woukd obvs be stealing money & cards and she’d move their pieces and swap their stuff#but also she’d try to use her turn to rob the bank#sophie would use neurolinguistic programming and dominate the board w properties#which somehow parker would literally never land on and that’s incredibly suspicious but none of them really know how she could possibly be#manipulating that fact? it’s logically impossible bc they’re watching her roll the die and move the piece and sophie knows which properties#she owns so it makes no sense. but parker is parker and she simply will not be caught (even by sophie’s properties)#hardison has studied monopoly theory (yes there are math theories on how to play monopoly) and /tries/ to abide by them but again. sophie i#manipulating him and parker is stealing from him (and sometimes oddly enough *for* him. new money ends up in his bank somehow) so it’s hard#so eventually he resorts to cheating like Everyone Fucking Else and does pretty well bc he rlly does know what sets he wants etc.#eliot is genuinely playing normally. no cheating no math stuff no schemes.#but he’s just sitting there fuming the entire time bc they’re all very obviously messing with the game and he Knew this was gonna happen bu#goddamn hardison & parker especially know how to get on his nerves (often purposely)#he calms down by making some snacks and. resorting to also cheating lol.#leverageposting

Something I love about Leo is that, canonically, he IS capable of cooking, he’s just completely incapable of using a toaster. He’s banned from the kitchen not out of an inability to make edible food, but because being within six feet of a toaster causes the poor appliance to spontaneously combust.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#all Leos mortal enemy: toasters#side note but thinking about this aspect of Leo’s character really has me wanting to make a deeper dive into Leo as a Jack of All Trades#because he has aspects of this all throughout the series#where he can do many things he’s just not the best at it#like he can cook but he’s no Mikey#he can - canonically - rewire an *AI PROGRAM* but it goes very wrong#he can lift both Mikey and Raph simultaneously but he struggles to do so where his other brothers don’t even break a sweat#bro is a Jack of All Trades Master of None frfr#and Leo is even more interesting with this in mind because he uses what he CAN do so well#it’s like how he can see his family’s strengths and weaknesses and knows exactly how they work#his skill set is made way better simply by his personal USE of those skills not by the skills themselves#portals and teleportation are only op if you know how to weaponize them#given time he ABSOLUTELY could#okay I shut up now this was supposed to be about toasters#but yeah all the boys have a bunch of skills under their belts outside the typical ones#but Leo stands out to me for having skills his other brothers have but to a much lesser degree in a lot of cases#and he works with what he has so well that that is a skill in itself

alfred, after reading 2 leters taht had ben delibered to him by a glowing green dog, noded an started to prepare diner before puting a single mesage on the family and friends grup chat.
Ined, this neded a stomash full of food.
Some time later and Alfred decides to drop the bomb.
Alfred: So, today a letter aribed to the maneor. It was sended by both, the CSD and that facility that aided the laters Masters Tom and Marta Wayne..."
Bruce, all confused because no one told him he was a in vitrus boy: My parents what?"
"...Its apears that a tragic had happened in the adoptive home life of Master Bruce´s biological litle brother, and both the state and the Infinite Realms sems to think this house is the perfect place to him and his mirror born twin sister. I expect you all to read this informative triptic because Yung Masters Dany and Dani (neme changing pending) are now half of a rare and prety multidimencional guarded species. An I will be damed and put my two weeks advice if my litle new sons are damaged by this emotional conspirational family"
Jackson was the frist one to react.
"Holy shit! this time te suprised new silbing one is Bruce?!"
"Oh so is it hereditary... " was Dick reaction
"A rare and delicated species you said? I shal go to therapy then." was Damian two cents before going to the library in seearsh of a good candidate.
Menawile... Bruce had yet to rebot.
Tim: okay but how jung?
Alfred: human 11 yeears old, and in ghost form 5 months old. Little Dani is just 2 months old. ¿Could you belive it? Please Miss Kent, go and give this nasty Master man a beaten up could you? i would go after him myself but i need to take care of the litles halfas.
Batfamily: WHAT THA FUCK?!
#dp x dc#dpxdc#i do not know how to write on english and somehow google traslate is baned on my work internet#wtf would you ban someting like that on a friking public university librery?#hello? we have a multi international etchange program?!#anyway#Danny had his accident early#dany and dani are new bat babs#is Bruce turn to be soked by surprice brother and adoptive silving too#Martha or thomas had some... isues and they decided to try the invitrus fecundation#they did give multiple samples.... and donathed the rest#the Laterns were there before the wig and good fenton parents#so bad they had to rip early :c#feel free to ad or use!#au#Dmian going to terapy and finding out he and fhater were autist the wole time#the danies got the ADHD all to themselves

Moodboards by Pinterest
It's taken me way too long to get this done (hoped it would be by your birthday this year...) but I just want to say thank you for being the most amazing mutual and friend all these years @starchild--27 💜
#the stars really had to align for this one#what i mean by 'made by pinterest' is that every time i went on there to do other stuff#i would look through the front page and see if i could make a moodboard out of anything it gave me#so they're all heavily influenced by whatever else i was working on at the time which i think is kinda fun#was inspired by how i logged on one day and that baekhyun moodboard was basically right there as is#so i wanted to try for the other members#sorry they're not all the same size#the program i used deleted by progress and i didn't save my dimensions...#hope you like it and very late happy birthday 💜#exo#baekhyun#chanyeol#jongin#kai#jongdae#chen#junmyeon#suho#xiumin#minseok#sehun#kyungsoo#D.O#yixing#lay

thinking about this tiny extremely autistic kid in my middle school program for kids too mentally ill for normal public school who brought his electric guitar to school everyday (it was taller than him) and he'd sit in a giant cardboard box and play tabs during math lessons. we were in 7th grade and he was doing math books for 3rd graders. he liked to cluck like a chicken and did a lot of flapping and he almost never left the box that was dubbed his chicken coop and i was the only one who wasn't mean to him about any of it so he'd let me sit in the box with him and help him with his schoolwork and he'd follow me around during breaks from class cause he knew i wouldn't let the other kids be cruel to him. i used to ruffle his hair affectionately and it would make him smile and blush. he had a pet rat that he really loved and talked about often and i'd call him rat boy as a nickname and he liked it when i did that. when we went on field trips he'd sit with me on the bus and we'd talk about music and he'd tell me about different animals he liked. when i started playing guitar i'd bring mine to school sometimes and play with him and it made him really happy. he used to come to school with bruises on his face a lot and i didn't ask. he went back to regular public school for high school and i never saw him again.
#there was only like 10 of us in the program and we were together for all of grade 7 and 8#and everyone hated the other girl because she was mean and loud and generally unpleasant to be around#and at the time i was only one of 2 girls#i was mostly alone but id talk to everyone including the chicken kid and even the unpleasant girl#that girl got pregnant at 14 and went to a different program for teen moms#they all respected me no one picked on me and i didnt tolerate cruelty in others i think they were afraid of me#no not afraid of me. i think afraid of disappointing me. theyd come to me for approval#they called me big words and usually left me to read my books in peace#including the unpleasant girl. i disliked her passionately but i wasnt mean to her#she was protective of rat boy too and i respected that in her
