Just Quickly Gonna Post This...yeah

WIP game

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it. Then tag some people for a no-obligation mutual wailing/cheering/complaining session!

With much pleasure, and due to @sofarraway tagging me, I'll give you all a look at my wip folder~

It's not much but it's honest work i guess??? Most of my stuff is published, or I've deleted it ( for my old old writing docs). I'm also surprised how many of my ideas have titles but not much else written down lmao. Also not all of this is fanfiction, but most of it is indeed mjjw (8 of them wow)

Anyways, i'll tag @chhagiya and @bobafvcks <33 in good fun

Dream scenario for Alecto the Ninth - Alecto just comes and rips John apart and puts him into a tomb instead.

This is inspired by a seggsy statue of Medusa in the same pose, and considering that Alecto has apparently a little to do with Arthurian legend, and like gives me medieval or medieval art poster vibes (probably due to the writing style in the epilogue) I thought to give her some clothes that resembled that (but I ended up with a more Renaissance inspired dress, thought that fit better); and also I tried to get the text to look a little medieval.

[ID: Two digital drawings of Alecto The First, in a green-blue lightning. She is wearing a white flown dress that is reminiscent of renaissance dresses. She has manacles on both wrists and her neck. The chains on her wrist manacles are broken, the chain coming from that on her neck is unbroken and wraps around her waist. Her right hand holds the severed head of John Gaius and her left hand holds her iron sword. The sword, the head and Alecto’s mouth and bottom of her dress are covered in blood. The first drawing is only different from the second in that is has text written on it. The text is “That is how meat loves meat” written in a medieval-esque font. /end ID]

don't risk it

if you don’t reblog in 500 seconds you will never be able to meet your fave band/artist

it is so funny to me that palamedes and camilla are set up as The Reasonable People in gtn and continue to be viewed though that lens by many other characters throughout the books but every single book just strengthens the hypothesis that they are actually kind of insane. like. they are absolutely unhinged. palamedes made himself a river bubble despite all existing evidence saying it was impossible to do and camilla scraped 96 tiny skull fragments off the floor and glued them together and they shared a physical form for six months and at the end of things they chose mutual destruction rather than confront the possibility of one person continuing to exist without the other. all of these things are backed up with theorems and mathematics but it does not change the fact that they’re not quite the actions of Normal People

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

sometimes i'm really baffled at the amount of queer-coding and or explicitly queer representation this year's dramas (and by extension 2020 and 2019) had???

i do think Korea is getting there (albeit slowly) and I'm really stoked for 2022

Researching for historical fanfictions is definitely one of the best parts of writing. YES I'm going to design a wardrobe for Junghwa and Jieun and YES I want a pinterest board of the architecture and YES I want a list of cultural and socioeconomic facts I can add, but no I don't want to actually write it.

one thing that I can’t let go of re: the locked tomb series is the statement I think it makes about identity and permanence and love. Like, I guess we all finished gideon the ninth being in love with gideon’s pov and with harrow as the person she is in relation to gideon. Then we landed in harrow the ninth and we were robbed of both, and I’m sure we all felt like we lost something, and we thought the end goal would be to get to the point where we would go back to having the thing that we lost: gideon’s vibrant voice and harrow’s whole psyche. and then we landed in nona the ninth and… 

I don’t know for ya’ll, but that’s when something in me shifted. phyrra was in the body of her most beloved adept and got to live with her longing for him and for wake redefining her identity; we didn’t care for her in the previous books, but we got to care for her now, and she was worth it. camilla’s body was both hers and palamedes’ and the coronation of their arc wasn’t to go back to how they were when we first learned to love them; it was to let go of both their individualities to become a whole new person, and we readers - just as nona - got to experience the pang at understanding that we were to let go of our concept of camilla and palamedes as individuals, while having to accept that that was the truest form they both could possibly achieve, that they felt no loss whatsoever, that what we perceived as loss was in fact their triumph. gideon - our beloved gideon - came back and she wore another name and we got to love her again, but names matter in this universe, and we had to deal with the pang of knowing that we could love her all the same, but she was - in fact - not the same at all, and when she antagonised our new main characters we found out in surprise that we resented her for it, that our loyalties had partially shifted. and then…

and then there was nona. nona in the body of harrow, who got to be loved as a person separated from harrow because bodies are transient and the soul is what matters. nona who was born to disappear in mere months, something the people around her knew well and which didn’t prevent any of them from getting to know her as a fully fleshed individual and to learn to love her all the same. nona whom we readers too understood at one point that was a character built to fade away. we could have decided not to invest in her, then. we could have decided to be annoyed at not finding harrow in her, at not finding gideon in her. but we didn’t. well, I didn’t. I understood she was born to die, and I chose to love her all the same. because isn’t it how it is? isn’t this how love is? we are mortal things who fall for mortal things knowing full well they won’t last. but we choose to love all the same. the impermanence of things isn’t a flaw ruining what should have been perfect; it is the very essence of things. we got to love nona even though she wouldn’t last. we got to love nona because she wouldn’t last. that’s all fine, in the end, because we got to love someone, and you can’t take loved away.
