i genuinely love posting attd stuff to this blog in particular bc there's like. a *very* complicated (perhaps too complicated, working on the same project for 14 years will do that) story going on, with lots of Politics and Magic and Political Magic going on, but for the purposes of this blog i'm always just like "...anyway who wants to see this white boy get the shit kicked out of him again"

#the doc i'm working from rn is saved as “attd but just the whump” lmao #anyway. This Is Genuine It Is Really Fun To Relate To This Story In This Way #and takes some of the pressure off too cause the problem with working on a story for so long.#is that i'm so attached to parts of it. some of which i came up with when i was Literally Fourteen #but since i've been working on it so long i also want it to be GOOD!! and you don't get Good stories without Cutting Stuff Out #and cutting out things that were really important to 14yo beau makes me Sad!!!#but what i love about whump writing - genuinely - is that #at its very core #it is Self Indulgent #which is GOOD!!!! it's good to write self-indulgent shit!!! its good for the soul!!! genuinely!!!!!#the only struggle is like. figuring out how much context Anyone Who Isn't Me might need to enjoy the whump #bc a lot of times context is a big part of what makes whump Good #without adding a bunch of stuff that isn't relevant and is therefore just distracting #It's A Real Struggle #but it's also very freeing when i can successfully chill out about it #...he says having posted like One new piece this whole year 🥴#obviously its a noted fact that i am not actually good at Chilling Out About It lmao #anyway attd is the story with The Most lore by a country mile #(the most pre-written lore anyway)#(wkw also has lots of lore but i am Making It All Up As I Go lmao)#anyway. i might make some background posts at some point #maybe on like. a different blog?? so i can just link them if they become relevant??? who knows. much to think about #not whump
