Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

Wow I love the art style in these posts, there's something really comfy about it!

will merrin ever give in to the poncho?

Nope never <3 even when they've been together for well over a decade

(commission info // tip jar!)

Oh wow any holiday celebrating a marginalized community is being targeted by Trump and Elon’s White House?

Who could have guessed?

Who fucking could have seen this coming?

Who would have expected the rapist, the sex pest, and racist duo would do something so cruel???

Guilt sucks, honestly. I hate feeling guilty, especially over nothing. It's not a guilt of "oh I did this thing and that was wrong of me :(" its the guilt of "I feel this way and I feel like I shouldn't". It's a guilt of imagined transgression and I really wish it would stop. Though I cannot tell which way I would prefer more, the guilt to recede and finding satisfaction with my feelings, or my feelings coming to align with the manner I imagine they should, thus eliminating the guilt.

I don't often like sharing feelings like this, in fact venting or exposing my emotions just makes me feel guilty for taking up other people's times or thoughts with my nonsense, but it was a thought looping my mind over and over enough that it required a post.

Whew, just under a month since I started putting this fic down into a Google doc and it's already *way* longer than I was expecting. And I've only just finished arc 3... of 11. Satisfying as hell though :D

Can't wait to see how people react to the unposted chapters---in several weeks, lol

Honestly, I wish more people talked about me when im not around and also never tell me when they do so. I like the idea that im on someone's mind enough that they will bring me up outside of my knowledge.

Like, wow, I mean that much to you, even if its negative? <3

me listening to my completely unorganized ff14 playlist

Waking up to alerts about Elon Musk doing a fucking Nazi salute was not what I was expecting, yet I am not surprised in the slightest
