#id write a fanfic about it if i could write

[spicyboelives]

idk if u still care abt poto but i saw this post yesterday and it immediately reminded me of ur poto AU so i thought id share :)

(its a reel by @/christianrlocke on instagram in case the link doesn’t work)

I saw it about a week after I posted my poto art and felt like the gods were shining down on me. Absolutely exceptional turn of events. Also yes! I do still love poto! Most of my interests are long lasting, I just don’t have time to do more art of them because I do commissions essentially full time right now :).

Heres something quick I drew up, sorry the line work n anatomy is kinda ass- also wish I could have had longer to iron out the costume details I had in mind for my version.

In my version He crashes the party for the same (though slightly different reasons?). Hates That Christine isn’t being cast in the poetic gay fanfics hes been writing for him & the general way the opera is ignoring his critiques. I also think he’d be upset with Raoul, regardless of if that dude really did anything wrong, Erik would still be insecure enough to be jealous and over protective of Christine.

screaming crying and begging for more cursed au lore 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 it doesn’t even have to be character based id be satiated with just world building but also i hv to ask ??? WDYM DALLY SAW MR AND MRS CURTIS’ GHOSTS ?? WDYM HE BLOCKED THEM OUT?? ARE THEY STILL THERE ??

yall have made me so mentally ill i cannot. i can’t draw but if yall wldnt mind id LOVE to write a fanfic for this au, im so down bad omg

HEHE I was hoping someone would ask about that!!

So yeah, Dally saw their ghosts. Honestly he wasn’t even aware that he was capable of doing so until it happened; cause as far as he was aware, everything else he had been seeing was more or less some kind of hallucination.

He does NOT tell the Curtis bros and that stresses him the fuck out, cause how the hell does he even bring that up?? Of course he feels like he should but he can barely talk to them.

He does try to eventually, but one of the bad things about ghosts is that they still mirror exactly how they die.. sooo, long story short, he tweaks out again and can’t bring himself to face them properly. The ghosts are still there, his brain just literally forces them out.

This was an inherited trait <3 He got it from his mother, who could also see ghosts (unless she was drunk, so.. she was drunk a lot).

He’s seen her ghost and that’s arguably six times worse than seeing the Curtis parents.

It’s not a very fun time for him! We’re currently discussing the idea of maaaaaybe giving him the curse (there’s logic behind it I swear!!) but we haven’t decided yet; and I think he’s really silly as a human anyways.

Fanfic is welcome with open arms <3

obsessed with Sigyn & Thor’s enemies-to-coconspirators speedrun… Thor really went from Odin’s protégé to enthusiastic resistance member in about 5 seconds flat, totally down to help Sigyn break into the engine room and take over the train.

Like Sigyn HAD to know who Thor was, right? how did that conversation go down

i'm a cis woman, but in the past few years i've developed a habit of headcanoning any male character i relate to as a trans women, beginning a fic trying to explore that, and then miserably falling short as i can never figure out how to end the story. i've recently joined a new fandom and started my most recent attempt at writing this ever-elusive character interpretation i've been trying to explain for years. and it occurs to me that maybe the reason i keep trying to interpret these characters i relate to as women and failing to, is because i'm trying to project the wrong experience. because i think that conclusion i can never fully bring myself to write isn't one about coming to terms with womanhood and embracing that identity, but about coming to terms with being a man.

so tldr im a trans man and this is a coming out post.

something something "you must take that emotion and you must bury it" something something "he left me (...) so i had to bury it on my own"

wrote 30k words and decided I didn't like them or the order i put them in and so started over. alright cool great thank you brain 👍👍

whatever i was thinking about maxs timeline and

if future max is the same as past max then after his events he wouldnt have a sam anymore but the timetravel bs is so specific i dont think that would even be the case so i started thinking up a story where past and future max have a talk about sam and their feelings towards him and perhaps future max is looking at it very negatively, in a "dont bother" sort of way (i always had that vibe from him at least, just fed up with everything, but having a soft spot for sam at least, staying with him to take care of him) if were talking romantic he could even tell past max to not show his feelings to sam cause they dont have that kind of future or something but after sams death, past max would (hopefully) send his kid self and future self back to their dimensions and just maybe, as he would be sending off future max, he catches a glimpse of him and future sam meeting again, future sam all worried where he was and pulling him into a big hug - maybe it doesnt make sense but perhaps his future timeline has changed and he would be in fact in a different relationship with sam there... (future sam letting him know what happened similarly to how past sam learns about current sams timeline?) im also considering whether to keep his doggy dementia or not, its very sad and bittersweet to me with how max stays at his side but if i could take it away and let them just be old men, happy together with no problems, i would... for past max, he sees them together as hes leaving and it shows him what exactly he has to do, not hide his feelings from sam because he can change the future. this ties to my headcanon that the two different endings in tdph split into two different timelines, 1st was the crime fighting ending (hope thats the right one, i mean the one where they stay) which would happen in general or specifically in the first release of tdph and lead to the events of ttiv. (bad end. /hj - theyre so divorced there) the second adventuring ending (where they leave) would happen with the new knowledge of what happened in maxs timeline in the remaster and its more open there (and hopefully - in a headcanon, they could be a couple there and not be so weird with each other there)

and aside from all this, if there are ever more games by skunkape, it would be nice to see a soft reboot with mentioning of these past events, but not a specific year or timeline mention, just imply its somewhere else. all that ttiv got wrong, as for me the sam and max media is fun in the way where you dont have to fit it all into one huge timeline, they just happen randomly except the trilogy which has a set order. by stating that ttiv is happening 11 years later, even though its important to the plot (them getting old, looking for someone to carry on the freelance police thing in the future - though i find this soo ooc for them) it kills 11 years for no reason and any opportunity for skunkape to continue the story right after tdph as they have to tie it to ttiv in the end, which being their worst game id think nobody even wants to do that. (best case scenario is they "forget" about it, second best is its not mentioned but they show an easter egg with the aquabears or something and carry on)

as for kid max i think he would forget about these events partially as he gets older or perhaps its just a trigger to make him even more protective of sam

fic update!!!

alright you little rascals!! i've mentioned a couple times here that I'm working on a new Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde centric fanfiction. Well, it isn't done, not by a long shot. But I am proud to report that it is my longest by FAR. Just chapter 3 is longer than Mortify Curiosity (my prev fic). So, to hold you fiends over, I'm posting a little bit of info about the fic here so y'all can decide if it's a good read for you before it even comes out!!! Said info will be below the cut ^^

Starting off with the basics!! Here's a screenshot from the AO3 draft with the title, tags, and summary.

Like with Mortify Curiosity, my other chaptered fic, I'm finishing this fic COMPLETELY before posting. I know the sting of an unfinished fic, and I wouldn't do that to you.

For some other info: chapter count and chapter titles, plus word count if the chapters are finished! -- -Chapter 1: What is sought is most often found, if it is truly sought -- Word count: 5,141 -Chapter 2: You know all the right moves; use them -- Word count: 7,411 -Chapter 3: Keep in mind the deadline is closing in -- Word count: 12,968 -Chapter 4: His affections, like ivy, were the growth of time -- Word count: ??? -Chapter 5: Confront what frightens or offends you -- Word count: ??? -Chapter 6: That child of Hell had nothing human -- Word count: ??? -Current total word count: 27,739 Just warning y'all, do not expect the other chapters to be as long as chapter 3. I literally do not know what possessed me to write an almost 13k word chapter it just. kinda happened. Chapter 4 is currently sitting at a cool 2,220 words, and I haven't really gotten into the nitty gritty. So it'll probably be a long one too.

Finally, just for you guys, I'll give you a little excerpt from the opening. You'll probably have to click to read, but this is the first 550-ish words. Enjoy ur little snack hehe

i'll reblog this post when the fic comes out so yall can find it huehue

[oh-cramity-its-amity]

its so weird to read some of my old fics (do NOT do it but i'm just being hypothetical rn) and reading it. like who even was this person?? i completely was in a haze back in 2020. i literally was posting 3 chapters a day. A DAY. what in the WORLD was that shit.

anyway i remembered some STUPID sappy shit and i didnt remember if i'd put it into a fic or not BUT I FOUND IT.

She and Hope had been dating in secret for months anyway, and any attempt to go talk to Ryan only filed her disposition of displeasure upon knowing that she couldn’t tell anyone, Molly especially, it destroyed herself mentally. They couldn’t really go anywhere near the school, always having to lie to everyone about having projects together when Molly wasn’t around them. It’d consisted with 9 PM - 2 AM intervals of being able to actually see each other. Hope would sneak through her small bedroom window with a portable record player and whatever she had gotten from the vintage record store downtown, and Amy would always fall asleep around eleven because of her internal clock. She would always wake up to find a single sticky note stuck on the edge of her desk whenever she woke up to her alarm the next morning. One of them, Amy still had tucked inside of her phone case, a heavily detailed human heart, with blue and red ink sketched onto a neon pink sticky note, there was a caption that headed the small paper reading the phrase over every now and again makes her almost melt every time. “You have my heart.”

yeah idk why the fuck but i thought of this fucking idea again today and i was like "omg did i ever put that heart note thing in a fic???" yeah you fucking did.

all that to say ME AND WHO???? imagine. thats so fucking.... RAHHHH.

[queershavinthoughts]

mentally, i have 14 fics fully written and plotted with complex and compelling storylines.

Physically? there is nothing.

however if someone would like to reach into my brain and fish around for said fics, you will find them all.

[grandlovescheme]

As 'The Dominoes Cascaded In A Line' slowly comes to its end, I'm about to start publishing a new fic...

[mizumonohomo]

ok fiiiiine i'll say it. i was mad that Last Night in Soho wasn't toxic yuri. you got me.

[angryborzois]

maybe i should go back to writing instead because writing was actually fun but art makes me want to throw my sketchbook out the window and set a car on fire and then cry in a corner

[a-mere-shell]

i found all my old fanfics from 2009 when i was in junior high. and yeah, they were all cringey and bad, but i think i really learned a lot about who i was at the time, and it was introspective and good, mainly

[godsfavoritescientist]

I found a 3 min video that puts the way I like to approach writing into words, thought it was worth sharing. Some of the ideas in this guy's other writing videos apply more to making marketable original fiction than they apply to transformative works (e.g. fanfic), but I do like the way he breaks down writing advice into practical actionable chunks (as opposed to the metric ton of writing advice out there that is more vibes-based than anything else).

[skinnypaleangryperson]

the irony of only finding comfort in making art and consuming art and feeling constant lack dispair from the same culture and people that made it knowing that its from a culture that tells people like me that ill never be enough, not even for fandom culture these days
