I had someone irl ask me why I made Jem from Sorrow's Victor so young (14 at the start of the series and 17 currently), and I thought I'd explain here with two main reasons.

Reason Number One: He had to be teenager to be in the Hunger Games. This one is more just for technical reasons, because I could've made him anywhere from 12-18 if this was the only reason.

Reason Number Two: If you think about it, Jem is old. If we're just talking life-span, my man is already nearing the end of his life. If he doesn't get the cure, he dies by 19. That means he's already well past the halfway mark by the time he even participates in the Hunger Games, let alone has a chance to join the revolution or get the cure. If I made him any older, he'd be dead before the even revolution started.

Crunchy peanut butter people annoy me (in a non serious way lmao)

They always be coming up to me like "You don't like crunchy peanut butter? But why? It's literally God's gift to man"

Then I have to explain to them that crunchy peanut butter makes me want to die because the first time I ever tried it, I was sick with the worst stomach bug of my life and throwing it up literally tore up my throat to the point that the acid from my stomach burned like hell coming up for the rest of the time I was sick

Chapter Summary:

Jem deals with the announcement of the 3rd Quarter Quell

Story Summary:

James Blackthorn, 17 year old Victor of the 72nd Hunger Games, thought he was safe from the arena. He thought that, because he had already bloodied his hands and left the arena, he'd never have to see another arena through anything but the TV screen. He was wrong, of course. Snow was a liar, always had been. Now, with promises broken and Jem's time running out to find a cure for the disease slowly killing him, what will happen?

First in the Series: Sorrow's Victor

Me beating my head against the wall cause I'm already past my self-imposed due date on a chapter but writer's block is kicking my ass to next Sunday:

..... I'm 2'9 😭

[thatuselesshuman]

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long

Your heart's been aching

But you're too shy to say it

Inside we both know what's been going on

We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling

Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Repeat Chorus

Give you up, give you up

Give you up, give you up

Never gonna give,

Never gonna give, give you up

Never gonna give,

Never gonna give, give you up

Last four lines repeated

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

Gosh damn it

[thatuselesshuman]

@mr-orion asked for all of them so....

Yes

I'm that meme of them putting down tracks as the train is moving. Sure, do I know what I want to happen? Yes. But do I plan anything? Nope!

2022 Motorola G Power

Never published anything beyond fanfiction, but I'd love to write a book!

1~2 hours counting my rest days. 4 hours only counting writing days.

Single, but if I had multiple characters, multiple

Series

I forget what it's called, but I was a cookie-cutter fantasy I wrote when I was like 8

Bloody Hands are Kind

Yep! Gotta keep myself accountable

Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas, Rick Riordan, and the author of ORV

Comfortable chairs, perfect vibe music in the background, iced coffee, and no distractions

Random hallucination (beginning idea) -> daydreaming about the story -> summary WIP -> world building -> write first chapter -> hopefully by the grace of God finish it

If it's ass, people wouldn't be reading it and leaving comments

I bang my head against the wall and try to find a song that vibes with what I'm writing

1 for fanfic (I just throw that shit out there 😭), 20 million for actual works

I start writing at 8pm about every other day

Endoftheworldhere, and idk just anything (she's so cool)

I remember how sad I was when my favorite fanfic authors dropped off the face of the earth

Entirely too many. I'd say like 10 I have saved, but 20~30 floating around in the stratosphere

James "Jem" Blackthorn ❤️❤️ my man my man

Azrael & Achlys (A wip I've never shown anyone)

Leigh Bardugo or Rick Riordan

Fantasy/mythology 100%

Seeing my nightly hallucinations come to life

Uhhh idk

A scene I haven't shown yet 😉 (no spoilers)

Conrad

Castiel

The WIP that Azrael, Achlys, and Castiel are from lmaoooo

Writers block

Benyamin

Yes and I'll do it again

The Scars You Leave, by thatuselesshuman on Ao3 💀

Idk. I don't really dread writing anything tbh

Already answered this earlier

Don't have one yet

I was a furry in the sixth grade soooo.... I'll leave it there

The dragon cat hybrid that's like genuinely psychopathic from ^

NOOOOO I CAN'T IT'S SPOILERS I'M SORRY 😭

Just start writing. Doesn't matter if it sucks or is cringy, it'll get better. Also, try reading a lot of different books

Ew ew ew icky. They're really annoying 99% of the time tbh

I sit down, let out a fat sigh, and rewrite my very precarious outline

I lot more than you'd think. I'm surprised I'm not on a watch list somewhere

A lot for my original stories. My favorite part is world building

All the time

Hallucinate instead of writing. Works everytime

This character named Aelin for my friend's story

Jem seems like a cool guy when he's not being a pure cut asshole (aka, Jem pre his family getting murdered)
