Silently willing my countless WIPS to magically finish and post themselves

Fanfiction is so goated actually

No monetary incentive, just writing in one's free time. Some incentive for like kudos and comments, because who doesn't want to hear that someone else enjoyed what they wrote. Just writing a story that is good and/or enjoyable, no real-life pressure to keep it going because god forbid you and other people are depending on it financially.

Writing a story because you want to write a good story, so you can write what they want the way you want, at a pace that is realistic for you, with exactly the plot pacing you want there to be.

in kuyu's historical fantasy webnovel turning, protagonist yuder aile is described to have only focused on the development of his own abilities prior to his execution and subsequent regression. in an attempt to prevent the disaster he saw in that future, he begins to build genuine connections and trust with not only his cavalry member peers but also his commander, kishiar la orr. the slow-paced and natural progression of yuder's relationship with kishiar, beginning with curiosity, progressing to mutual respect, and later encompassing loyalty and romance, is a major point of interest. however, their relationship still manages to not obscure the equally compelling plotlines, politics, and character dynamics present in the story. yuder's complex relationship with kishiar and the story's refusal to revolve solely around romance strongly mirrors the arospec experience. in this essay i will-

Pipe dream but Amanda Overton would be such a fun writer for a show focused on Irelia. To me, for Irelia to be great as a character and not just some boring uninspired leader figure archetype she needs an author who is willing to write women dirty and unhinged and messy. And between Jinx, possibly both Caitlyn and Vi in s2, I think Overton could thread the needle between Irelia the inspiration leader and the insecure "I don't want this job" young woman and also the part of her that legitimately laughs at the concept of throwing enough stones to drown warships.

A WIP Wednesday so late that I'm actually on time

Because I lack all concept of time, the wonderful @gingervitus tagged me in WIP Wednesday last week and I'm just now getting around to it so like technically I am on time (I'm very sorry I promise I didn't forget). Thank you for the tag!! I may be late, but I do love a WIP Wednesday because it makes me accountable to someone other than myself. So please accept my apology in the form of a snippet for the chapter I'm currently working on for the "Rook is stuck in the Fade and Lucanis is Not Okay" fic that I've been lingering on for far too long. It has a name I swear.

Lucanis rolled his neck as his stretched his arm across his chest, his fingers flexing as the muscles in his shoulders began to strain. He held the position for a few breaths, closing his eyes as he focused on each slow inhale and exhale, clearing his mind for whatever may lie ahead. After repeating the motion on the opposite side, he focused on stretching his legs by taking low and deep lunges down the length of the pantry and back again until he was standing beside his cot. Spite followed beside him, not mimicking the motions considering a demon had no need of loosening muscle and limbs, but keeping pace. 

In order to lay siege to Minrathous and somehow wrestle the dagger out of Solas’s grasp to rescue Rook, both demon and man needed to be in sync and think as one. They had no time for arguing and a mistake could cost them their one chance at finding Rook. Spite watched silently as Lucanis bent forwards and practically folded himself in half, hugging his shins close to his chest to stretch out the remaining muscles in his back. He continued his slow, practiced breathing until his warm up ritual was finally complete.

We need. To make. An agreement. Spite finally spoke as Lucanis began dressing himself in his leathers. The demon perched himself on Lucanis’s bed; squatting on top of the shaggy blanket as he looked up to the assassin. Lucanis briefly met his gaze as he pulled his leathers from where they were folded at the foot of the bed and gave the demon a quick nod.

“We do.” He replied simply as he tugged on his trousers, “We have to understand each other if we want this to work.” He tucked the tails of his shirt into the trousers, smoothing out the material before fastening the buttons at his waste. He slipped the outer piece of armor on over his head and was met with an intense violet radiating from his cot.

Kill Solas. Make him bleed. Make him hurt. Find Rook! A rather wicked smile spread across Spite’s lips at the thought of slicing and splitting Solas from tip to toe. The demon pulsed with color, his excitement evident on his face and in his aura. 

“Eventually. We need to find the dagger first. We will take it from Solas and give it to Emmrich. He’ll know how to use it to find Rook.” Next came the belts at his waist. Each was synched tightly and fastened methodically to ensure they were secured properly. 

After he tucked the tails of the belts into themselves, Lucanis began slipping his knives into their usual holsters. Some were more obvious than others in their location. The ones strapped to the insides of his boots came first, the metal sliding easily against the leather, and the ones on his waist came next. He has spent the first days of Rooks absence sharpening his knifes to pristine points and edges, probably sharper than he’d ever gotten them, but still he checked each dagger before sliding them into pace. They had to be sharp and deadly, ready for battle and ready to save Rook. He could not allow himself to fail on something so precious. Lucanis clicked full vials of poison into the slots on his chest before securing the final knife to his chest.

And then. We kill? Spite asked as Lucanis secured his cape along his shoulder, the material almost kissing the ground as he swayed with his movements. 

“Yes.” Lucanis said as he made eye contact with Spite, slipping on his gloves in the process, “Then we kill.”

We have a. Contract! Very good. The wicked smile returned to Spite’s lips and, for the first time since Rook slipped into the Fade, Lucanis allowed himself one as well.

void i had some postcanon kevthea relationships thoughts. its already 1.2k and im nowhere close to finish. help

[puhpandas]

fnaf x dbd has soo much potential bc IMAGINE theres a vanny cosmetic on top of springtrap and Vanessa is the female survivor. in the Dracula chapter Dracula and the survivor from his chapter have unique voicelines if they're in a game together going against eachother, like Dracula will regard him specifically when with anyone else it'll just be his normal lines

IMAGINE if vanny and vanessa had something similar where vanny is taunting vanessa in a way, trying to tell her that she'll get her in the end and she'll be trapped and she cant escape her. it would be generic cool "I'm evil and chasing you" lines but have a meaningful double meaning bc of vanessa BEING vanny and her having to work to 'make up' for what she did as vanny. like the very embodiment of her trauma and past coming back to get her and it's her worst nightmare

Does anyone else go to edit their chapters that are like fully complete other than a grammar and structure check and then still somehow add over a thousand words… bc it happens to me every single time somehow.

Anyways, I needed a break from the eat sleep breathe accounting I’ve been doing lately bc there’s only so many nights you can do accounting from 9am to 5am before you go crazy so good news is that my editing of thou wilt whisper ch 7 is done and now it goes to my beta reader to make it into its final form.

Yay!

Also if you haven’t read it yet, I think Religion fic is pretty cool :) here’s a sneak peak of the next chapter or whatever

I'm so looking forward to iroh and zuko properly talking and seeing irohs reaction to zuko being gay.

Like we all know he doesn't agree with the fire nation rn but how will he react?

Will he not support him cause sokkas a guy? Will he not support him because it's SOKKA? Will he accept him? Will he reveal he's known for years zuko was gay?

Especially with everything that happened with zhao, regarding to what jee said to bato on their date. (Which is a very understandable perspective, zuko just got out of this very sexually traumatising situation and almost immediately starts a relationship (his first relationship) with sokka, but then again it is a very unique situation)

One thing I love about some atla fics is how they portray the FNs thoughts on queerness, cause on one hand they were one of the only country's (I think) that treated men and women the same but then again it's also the fucking fire nation.

And I also think zukos whole canon arc can be very comparative to queerness,

His dads an asshole and after speaking out against him he throws him out, and zuko try's for 3 years to regain his father's love and acceptance, and then faced with the opportunity of regaining it takes it immediately regardless of who or what he may hurt (iroh, his own morals etc) but once he makes it back home realises how fucked up everything is and eventually confronts his dad and openly tells him he doesn't agree with him then runs aways.

I also wonder if iroh secretly knows jee is queer it doesn't seem that likely to me but it also is iroh so who knows.

<3

I do think Iroh’s reaction will be a big moment for not only the story but for Zuko’s character development. Right now, Zuko’s technically still a prisoner, holding himself there by assuming Iroh will not understand or judge him when in reality he’ll never know what his uncle is thinking until they TALK ABOUT IT. (Which the FN royal family is just sooo good at healthy communication I don’t understand why this is so hard for them lol?!)

I do agree that the suddenness of the relationship combined with the intensity from both zuko and Sokka is very alarming for people looking at it from the outside (I mean we all totally get it cause we were there but others are like uhhhh hmmmm ok this might be concerning) so I get them gossiping and wondering if this is truly real or what the fucks going on with those boys.

I love Zukos canon arc because there’s just so much about zukos story that can be relatable no matter who you are and I think that’s why he is a fan favorite (it doesn’t explain why we torture him the way we do but ehhhh it’s fine haha)

Hmmmmmm does iroh know Jees gay? Depends on how saucy those music nights got ;)

All thoughts of baby furniture left his mind when he heard a knock at his door, not ten minutes later. Jason’s eyes darted down to Matt, who was still peacefully asleep on the pillow on the floor next to him, where he’d chosen to sit. 

Carefully and quietly, Jason got to his feet and set the booklet down, then grabbed his gun off the end table next to his couch. 

Very, very soon he’d need to purchase some good gun safes to keep those in, so little hands couldn’t get ahold of them. 

Silently, Jason crossed the room and paused at his front door. He wasn’t expecting anyone to come over, and literally everyone was great at texting him first. 

Because he was jumpy, as everyone said. 

With one quick glance back at Matthew, who was still sound asleep, Jason leaned forward and looked through his peephole. 

Then sighed. 

Loudly. 

“Who told you,” Jason said, after he unlocked his door and swung it open. 

Bruce smiled his stupid dumb smile and said, “Hello Jason,” as he held a damn gift back out for Jason to take. 

“Yeah, hi. Who told you? Babs or Damian?” 

“Damian,” Bruce said, still holding the gift out. 

“I’m going to kill him,” Jason grumbled as he took the bag so Bruce would stop looking stupid. 

Because Bruce was an asshole, he pushed his way past Jason into the apartment as he said, “No you won’t.” 

“I’ll maim him,” Jason said, “I will. I told him not to tell you.”
