HAPPY FRIDAY MOUY NIGHTHAWK (very late I may add) PEEYAH!!! I had a slightly above average Friday (walked around a store with my mom after work and got myself some tacos from my local Spot). also, behold
boringkate : I fully understand people’s disenchantment with electoralism and the limits of lesser evils, but I still have hope that someday we may elect our first fujoshi prime minister and that she’ll mandate that all straight boys go gay for women’s entertainment. I think there would be value in that even if it is only a first step towards more substantive change.
im gonna be real i couldn’t decode that either and I Know the shift number
[devil possessing me] what if the reason why hx and yy never touch in the current timeline is because (as will be shown in a flashback) they sdegkl vav kdwwh oalz wsuz glzwj tml jayzl af lzw eavkl gx al zw pmsf egsfwv kza iafypmsf'k fsew sfv lzwq tglz zsv lg klgh sfv lzwq zsv s lwfkw fgl-sjymewfl Egewfl stgml al sfv fwalzwj gx lzwe tjgmyzl al mh sysaf
as a writing/thought exercise i like to imagine my fanfics from my OCs’ point of view sometimes and meimei’s is both harrowing and hilarious. yeah man my family got massacred in front of me for land development and reasons beyond my ten year old comprehension so i tried to summon my dead mom but instead chained a powerful ghost to me to do my bidding, but that ghost has another ghost…
WAIT one thing. I was gonna do an act 1 where it’s just hx and yy immediately postcanon when hx was helping to unshackle yy, and presumably that time yy was also hiding from qyz, then act 2 is when they find meimei. but should I just have them find meimei for act 1 and do flashbacks to the yy-ghostification process in more direct contrast to what meimei’s going through? would it make…

nodding gravely and solemnly. your magnanimous sacrifice is approved and appreciated by the liegedom and you shall be venerated as a local god, say hi to the banyue snakes for us 🫡 also hey maybe the goobers won't eat you today if we've fed them before the sacrifice

nothing wrong with starting at fanfic and moving to publishing (indie or trad) but to link your ao3 to your public publishing name is like shooting yourself in the foot and wondering why you don’t run. no one will ever take you seriously you’ll always be defined by someone else’s work. is that really the kind of writer you want to be?

actualized-animal : as much as i poke fun at “tumblr prose,” i will acknowledge that sometimes when you’re writing and you’re really in the groove, you’re really feeling yourself, you’re on your capital-a Author shit, and you write a line that makes you go, “oh yeah, this is the Good Shit. this is so Subtle and Says So Much. this is Characterization. this is Themes and Motifs. you could write a…
you guys will forget this long before i actually write the book series but basically zhi lanshuang’s got this sense of eldest daughter self-sacrifice and filial piety thing ingrained so deeply into her bones that not only does it motivate her very stupid coma plan in fic1, it also continues to follow her long after. she keeps coming back to it and it dooms her bc how do you live when you…
mqfx : 😐 guys I forgot about given vs courtesy names. I can probably skate by with not giving some of them given names they’re gonna die gruesomely anyway

if i’m being real i am NOT following the outline conventions (5 act structure, chapters leading into each other, tight pacing, single clear through-line, act iii as climax, etc) at all. at all. we’re having several climaxes up until the last 3 chapters fuck it we ball
