#the good thing is

[chococinochii]

SO our dishwasher broke and i failed doing the dishes again by breaking a plate and apparently i'm the housewife equivalent of the antichrist because i have lost doing-dishes-privileges and am permanently banned from near the kitchen sink. my mother thinks that she could still teach me other basic chores so i could be less of a human failure but my father's just like "STOP stop stop stop i'm doing it just GET OUT"

That's a good girl ☺️🌻 . Work is going well?

Yeah even though there aren't many customers yet.

since I have the attention span of a fly and keep switching my hyperfixations every few days, I figured I'll need to change my workflow as well

instead of working on one piece at a time until it's finished, I'll have to write according to my current fixation, otherwise I'll never be motivated enough to finish a piece

that way I might be able to somewhat achieve my goal of writing at least one prompt for each ship I have until the end of the year (probs won't happen but I'm an optimist, unfortunately)

I have set aside about an hour to write today. But what to work on?

I have about ten meta/analysis posts in drafts, (fanon or canon, Lambert char breakdown, Milva char breakdown) two WIPs on AO3 (Posada Remix and Eskel’s Angel) and like five WIPs in my Google drafts. One major (gladiator au) and four or so minor/pwps.

On what will I bestow my frustratingly inadequate amount of time on today?

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

MONKEY MAN (2024)

[cemeterything]

i think it's so fun that "damn" is such a casual curse word now that it's basically become divorced completely from its original meaning. like oops i dropped my phone, time to invoke the wrath of god about it in the most mildly annoyed tone of voice imaginable.

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:

In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.

A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.

In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.
