#thnx tumblr i hate it

[agentinred]

One thing about making this new start for Carmen is that I hate how much the dash and everything else looks 🙃

[imwritesometimes]

how to overcome your incredible self-loathing, cringe embarrassment, perfectionist tendencies, and finally feel decent abt fic you've written - definitely not written by me cause I'll never figure it out....

I have been thinking of how to cast Dracula for tumblr’s screen adaption. Here is what I have so far. Need more input. Let’s cast this thing.

JONATHAN, male in his 20s, British. He is loving and kind, but he is also a talker, and effervescent about the things he cares about (Mina, work, various spices). But he can also be a bit tightly wound, has very set notions of the world, which will be upended. Type: Daniel Radcliffe-ish?

MINA MURRAY, female in her 20s, British. Curious, clever and thoughtful. Mina pretends she is not a “New Woman” but does have odd ideas. Loves graveyards, Jonathan and Lucy. Doesn’t know she is brave but proves her mettle. Type: Christina Ricci in Casper? (Winona Ryder is not far off really).

LUCY WESTERNA, late teen or early 20s, British. Is younger than her friend and advisor, Mina. She is strikingly beautiful, and you might think that would make everyone hate her but she is so kind and careful with everyone she meets. Even scorned suitors become her friend. Type: Am thinking about Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde and Sana Stark in Game of Thrones.

VAN HELSING, older male, Dutch. Must have accent. He is jovial and friendly, but also a scholar who will prove to be a warrior. Man of letters. Actor must do comedy and also action. Type: Dutch Nick Offerman?

QUINCEY, 20s-30s, American. Texas accent required. I have straight fancast Jonathan Majors in “The Harder They Fall.”

MRS WESTERNA, 50s-60s, British. Character actress. About to die at any moment.

MR SWALES, elderly man. Comedic. Accent work required. Will not recur.

ARTHUR, 20s-30s, British. Upper crust but not a douche about it. Type unknown to me. What do British aristocracy do? I am American. Explain.

JACK, 20s-30s, British. I don’t have a good character read. Send help. (ETA: “Good forehead”? Really?)

DRACULA: A cardboard cutout of Gary Oldman from the Coppola movie.

RENFIELD: Could be anyone. Wildcard. Probably played by a rock star.

If any actor-types are out there, pls put yourself on tape. Thnx.

Co-screenwriter who actually knows how to write scripts also needed.

╰┈➤basics

Call me Sabel. Or Octo. But I like Sabel the best. I go by he/him or they/them pronouns.

I'm 20, black, transmasc, and bisexual. Currently studying music liberal arts and psychology.

I'm always open for asks/tag games! Please, please, please send them in!

This blog is (mostly) SFW, although some content might be suggestive. I do have an NSFW blog, which is @sabels-sphere-after-dark. Please note that NSFW doesn't always mean sexual. In this case, it mostly refers to the more "taboo" side of things like whump. I only have it segmented off because it can be triggering to people.

That being said, this blog does post and discuss the following: gore, body horror, murder, suggestive themes, sex, religious trauma, PTSD, and childhood abuse. Please proceed with caution.

Want to find my other blogs? My Kemetic blog is @the-lost-kemetic. My main WIP side blog is @the-shifting-tides-wip. My other WIP side blog is @dont-clip-my-wings-wip. My Flight Rising side blog is @the-moonlit-waves. My Clangen side blog is @lotus-clan. Other blogs will be linked here eventually.

You'll find pretty much anything I'm into here! This blog is mostly writing and fandom content! Although there may be activism scattered about. I might make an activism blog some day...

╰┈➤writeblr stuff

I exclusively write fantasy, although I occasionally write science fiction as well. I’m into both original works and fan works, as I’m revising a lot of my old fan fiction at the moment!

Unless stated otherwise, all of my characters are black or brown. No exceptions! We love watching people of color going feral and fighting against oppressive regimes! Most of my main characters are transmasculine or nonbinary.

Yes, I am on Ao3.

╰┈➤things to note

I staunchly support ACAB, BLM, and queer liberation on this and all of my other blogs. If you don't like that, you can leave.

This blog is severely anti-JKR. If you still support her or engage in her content, I don't want you here. You'll be blocked on sight.

If you’re going to send me hate asks please be more creative other than racism k thnx bye.

This blog is pro-fiction/anti-harrassment! This doesn't mean you can't criticize anything, but that what people write about doesn't always say anything about them as a character! While it's true that your internalized biases can seep into your works, what you create isn't inherently a statement on you as a person.

the fact that austin has previously talked about how some of elvis’ mannerisms were inherently sexual makes me believe that this motion was no accident and that he was in fact ….. thinking about it sexually

Just an Intern

pairing: austin x fem!reader

warnings: ANGST, moody arrogant asshole!austin, dom!austin, slow burn ofc (lots of back&forth, sorry), teasing/tension, fingering, bondage, degradation (+ names), unprotected p in v, cream pie, short time skips, inaccurate depictions of a movie set lol, 18+, minors dni

word count: 9.9k😅

summary: you’ve somehow landed an apprentice position to a famous hollywood makeup artist on set of The Bikeriders - you arrive late to work one day to find your mentor is nowhere to be found, you’re left on your own. If it can’t get any worse, a new actor on set soon becomes your worst enemy

disclaimer: this my FIRST attempt at a reader fic (unlike my ongoing main fic Forever Winter which is 1st person) so be nice pls! IM V NERVOUS ABOUT POSTING THIS BC ITS SOMEHOW MORE NERVE RACKING THAN MY 23+ CHP LONG SERIES LOL IDK IDK BE NICE THNX

You winced when you hear the wheels of your 10 year old beat up Voltzwagon Bug screech over gravel. It was only your 3rd week on set as the head makeup artist’s apprentice. You’d really only gotten this (rather low) paying gig through a family member who works in the industry. That all being said, you were running about 20 minutes late since you had gotten lost yet again.

With a hasty grab of your plastic makeup kit, you ran to the trailers ready to apologize profusely to Carol who already seemed to hate you. Much to your surprise you sped into an empty trailer.

“Fuck,” You muttered and peak your head out attempting to spot any sign of your boss.

A man from prop team passed the door, he was about your age and you’d become cordial – not friendly, but cordial.

“Hey!” You projected your whisper to catch him. He tugged his headset visibly irritated and gave you an eyebrow that said, ‘get on with it’.

“Do you know where Carol is?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen her. I think someone say she’s sick, probably Covid or something.” He replied casually with a shrug.

“What! What am I supposed to do!” Still whisper yelling even though he was speaking at normal volume.

He shrugged, “Guess you’re on your own.”

“Fuck.” Pushing a stray hair from your now sweating forehead.

He gave a grin that normally came with a warning, “Good luck, we got one of the main guys on set today.”

“What? Who?” God as if this couldn’t get any worse.

“You’ll see, we’re mainly shooting him today. So, you’ll be out there, lots of fighting scenes.” And with that he paced quickly away to wherever he was rushing to in the first place.

“Oh god.” You flipped to be flush against the side of the opening as if it would hide you.

In the little time on set of ‘Bikeriders’, you’d already been able to identify who to avoid and who was safe. Between the actors and the crew there were such a mix of personalities. The actors were especially hard since you could never tell what was their character and what wasn’t.

You and Carol had spent most of the time with Tom Hardy, who looked scary but was actually a big teddy bear. He had even come up with some nicknames for you, mainly ‘puppy’ or ‘shadow’. Since you followed Carol around like a lost puppy and basically became her perpetual shadow. Both were a little odd, especially ‘puppy’, but whatever it was better than most other things you’d been called.

An abrupt knock at the metal door ripped you from your panicked thoughts, a lanky shaggy haired blonde bolstered through the trailer and plopped himself in front of the large lit mirror. He was already in costume, leather jacket, dirty jeans, boots. The whirlwind of the day had rendered you paralyzed against the wall which you had forgotten reflected directly into the mirror.

“Well, are ya gonna get started or what?” A deep raspy voice came from the man, not even turning to look at you, just at the reflection.

“Oh-Oh yeah, sorry.” Immediately peeling from the wall and fumbling to set up your small kit on the vanity.

Just the air of his presence told you that he would be one to avoid.

You began plucking through various bottles of fake blood and latex, before realizing just how unprepared you were to do this alone. The feeling of his eyes boring into you only made the anxiety worse.

“Do you know what scene we’re doing?” He asked condescendingly, obviously picking up on your nervousness.

With a giant bottle of thick red liquid in hand, you turned to him wide eyed, “I – um, well, I-“

“You gonna spit it out or what?” Snapping his fingers before you were even able to form a coherent sentence.

I don’t know how, but somehow Tumblr is starting to give me even more anxiety than shit like school and my fam. I have WAY too many posts in my drafts, a shit ton of screenshots in my camera role, and a shit ton of fanfic requests that I still haven’t gotten to, some tracking all the way back to July. So sorry to anybody who requested something and never got it, because I promise, I’m trying to get to it, I’m just kinda overwhelmed right now.
