Is there a specific writing formula or something you do or research while or before writing one of your fanfics? You have such a unique writing style that ive seen only a few others have and i’d like to emulate it and add my own touch to it, Thanks alot! ❤️

Not really. I'm not sure what my style really is. I guess I just write stuff that catches my interest and I wanna explore and that naturally leads to world building and research?

It really depends on the fanfic and what is is about. Sometimes I've randomly gone on a research binge for reasons unrelated to fanfiction and then end up enjoying the subject so much that I end up writing fanfiction about it (like, say, hydroponics. I was into it way before writing about it.) Sometimes story goes down a certain path and something comes up I wanna dig deeper into in writing and I want to least try to be accurate and realistic and so down the Wikipedia/YouTube/etc drain we go. Realisim adds nice flavour to a fic, I think, even when it's about complete nonsense otherwise.

Once nimadge and I looked through like actual historical papers and books for historical accurace, and it was barely mentioned in the fic - but it was fascinating stuff otherwise. I figure that kinda of research is pretty normal for writers. Gotta look up 4 different things and a lecture for one factoid that ultimately doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things

Depending on the mood, I just generally write stuff that's new and shiny and interesting to me, stuff I can fixare on. I guess that's what comes across in my style. Plus, I got almost 3 decades of writing under my belt at this point, so... practice and writing what I'm into, what makes me curious, what makes me wanna learn more, just to see how stuff affects other stuff down the line. Idk. I've never been good at explaining how I write.

"Write what your know" is meh. "Write what you want to know more about" is where it's at.

Guys, I just got back, I thought we were done with blaming Gwen's stupidity on her race.

She's a dumb, stupid teenager, who did some dumb, stupid shit (on what I see as a misguided trip) but not all of that dumb, stupid shit had to do with the fact that she was white.

Shoes on the bed? Yeah.

Disrespecting parents? Partially.

Lying? What?

Betraying? Literally, what?

Condemning dude to unknowingly live through trauma for character development? My guy, what?

Yes, the movie is about race, but it is also about identity as a whole. It is about trust and distrust, struggle and progress, failure and loss, responsibility and determination, but also being a dumb, stupid teenager and making dumb, stupid decisions.

I'm not trying to belittle race's role in the movie, just emphasize that there is more going into a character's choices than their skin.

also it really is shit how several popular bloggers were like. Horribly bigoted towards ace people when it was cool, but once it stopped being trendy they 1) deleted those posts so receipts couldn't be pulled 2) maybe put up claimed "redactions" or said "omg its been years if you really wanna know wether i still hate those people dm me" but never apologized for their behavior lmao. I don't think any of the people who did that actually changed, I just think they know it's not such an acceptable/fun target to bully anymore. It's really sick how that type of bullying was encouraged for years and how few people repented for their behavior.

This is such a cash grab.

Hmmm I don’t think there’s anything wrong with fans compiling this inherently, but there is something about fans needing songs (and music videos and “Easter eggs” etc) “explained” to them that makes this a sensible thing to do which irritates me to no end that I can’t quite put my finger on

like ok I’m in a group of 4 at my uni but we’re all in different cities now the degree is over, we have an online reading group with vague plans to meet up irl down the line. Problem is I’m dating one of them and I’m gonna break up with him, so that’ll mean cutting ties - we will lose the possibility of doing the reading group/ anything as a 4. my ideal situation (although it’s selfish) is to avoid becoming like separate friends where we all talk but only individually so what I really want is a new 3 w/o my bf - my bf has said to me a few times that the other 2 prefer me to him, I think it’s true and I think I’m closer with/ to them as people (my bf often complains about us as a three/ our communication style (plus- he has other friends he’s close to whereas I don’t)) but my problems are

a) that’s selfish b) how could I go about doing something that selfish (it’s at least so awkward, I’ve put a whole possible strategy in the tags though so not impossible) c) one of my 2 friends will probably want things to not be so harsh on one of us/ idk how to talk to him about something like that

my main question I guess is should I try it or is it too selfish? the only other options really are him getting our friends as a three and me staying in contact individually, or all of us staying in contact individually (which I guess wouldn’t be awful and we’d probably still meet up as a 3 sometimes? but I’d lose the reading group and easy regular contact), or the whole thing fizzing out

I think something I wish I’d make more obvious whenever I write about p1 is how he’s not entirely innocent to his actions in Postal 1. Yes he’s deluded into thinking whats going on around him but even then it takes a certain person to just instantly be ready to slaughter hundreds in the name of survival. Deep down he enjoys the violence, the control, the feeling of having no choice. But he can’t ever admit that to himself because it would destroy him mentally. So constant denial over how he feels 24/7.

P2 is where all that gets funneled into, because he’s certainly honest about his sadism and he doesn’t give a shit. He doesn’t make any excuses for his behaviour. So when p1 feels that way and wants it to go away its a trigger for p2 to front and enjoy it so p1 doesn’t have to deal with the guilt.

P2 doesn’t like how he hides behind him about it. Will just tell him outright he shares the feeling and enjoyment and that he should just accept that and if he feels so bad about it? Stop doing it. Which to be fair after 1997 p1 tries to be a better person, but he WILL use any excuse to fall back into acting that way, all for his safety, all to keep himself safe. But that’s just hiding his desire for it.

Don’t get me wrong p1 wants to be a good person and he’s better morally at some things than p2, AND in those violent moments it is fear leading him. but that doesn’t mean he won’t give into his urges. He’s a deceiver especially to himself. Its something he doesn’t know how to control. Doesn’t mean he can’t though lol.

I love writing characters that aren’t good or bad all the dudes are morally grey and they all have good and bad qualities to them!! Fuck yeah!!!

If you want to be famous on the internet, you need to develop "mystery" for yourself.

That doesn't mean to make shit up, that means, tell a story about yourself that leaves people wanting to hear more about yourself, not just the story, but you.

When someone says or does, or has a reaction towards something in a distinct way, people want more of it, and that is mystery. Wanting something new that you don't know what even is.

Honestly think it's why British people took off seemingly the most easily in early youtube.

It's not just about "wanting more" or just making good content. You gotta have something that makes people wonder what will happen.

Bringus Studios just does a buncha shit and I'm all for it everytime, what do you got today? A prisoner laptop that got recalled? Gonna put Steam on it? hell yeah let's go.

Lockpick Lawyer, he builds up the product and takes it down in seconds and tells you how afterwards. Literally perfect mystery.

Comic dubs come with the mystery of the voice, the editing, and if they spent 5 minutes or 5 days on it.

Let's Plays are little portals into people's lives. It's why most of them suck.

It's why Streaming took off too. Instant mystery.

It's all mysteries. It's not about stories. It's not about faking anything. It's about making people curious. That's it. Make them think about you every other while and they'll come back when you're way better than they last saw you, and they'll start tuning in more.

i just think that as a chemistry major i shouldn't be forced to take biology classes that expect me to memorize the everything to pass. i need some kind of "biology for chemistry majors" where they emphasize the techniques a living thing has at its disposal to remain at homeostasis and then look at how all these parts come together to form a complex living organism undergoing constant holistic processes to remain at equilibrium. i don't need to know what a golgi apparatus is called i just need to know how it serves its function in the complex process of transforming A into B

I can't keep being so upset over things and trying to fix it with "well in a year that wouldn't matter anymore and you wouldn't be as bothered" because while that can kinda be true it'll happen again. something has to change
