lets go no contact with mama
I decided to hop on tumblr because of @thecubspeaks
I read all of their Jaheira x Nine-Fingers fics (every single one like they were ambrosia and I was a starving goddess) and was immediately consumed by the ship. It landed me here. The creatures on tumblr (said affectionately) are far nicer than the humans I have to deal with in real life.
About a year ago, I started talking to one of the best RP partners I've ever had. It all began thanks to one of my longfics. They told me that, during the couple of months it took me to finish it, receiving the notification that I posted was to them like a sign that it'd be a good day.
A couple of months ago, one of my readers invited me to a Discord server about writing they created. I haven't interacted much with other people on the server, but we've been chatting pretty much everyday. They've gifted me some really cool stuff and, even more important than that, they've told me my stories have kept them company now that they feel disconnected from most of their writing buddies.
This morning I woke up to a message by another reader. They're going through pretty serious health issues and thanked me for writing my fluffy series because it's become their comfort through these terrifying times.
What am I trying to say with all of this? WRITE. Just keep writing. Write your silly, self-indulgent stories. Pour your heart and soul in every single one of them. Even if you don't think they're good enough. Even if you believe no-one else is interested in reading them. Do it. You have no idea how many days you may be improving, how many smiles you may be causing.
And no, the fact that it's only fanfic doesn't mean them any less worthy or "not real writing." It's still art. Your art.
Oh, and if you're on the other side, if you're one of those who have been touched by a story, let us know. Tell your authors how they made you laugh or how you felt less lonely because of them. This is exactly why we write.
I need nine fingers to call me a good girl and eat me out on her desk. I think that would fix me.
How do fanfic writers feel knowing that people might have been masturbating to their work?
Someone desperately needs to take photo mode away from me.
Anyway, take a break from your mental illness to enjoy mine. I’ll warn you, these are poorly done and NSFW.
Jaheira x Nine-Fingers (technically my Tav, but we’re all on tumblr to use our imaginations, right??)
I will absolutely yell at anyone about Jaheira/Nine-Fingers and/or Karlach/Minthara! (Or other BG1, 2, and 3-related things!!)
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Could you reblog this if you enjoy seeing your writer friends ramble about their wips on your dash?
My first ever Tav - Raethan! I’ve not gotten far in photo mode, but I got this shot of my very first!!
I could be wrong, hear me out. A few years age gap, maybe 21/25 isn’t really older woman/younger woman yuri. That’s relatively the same age. You’ve likely had a lot of the same experiences and grew up with the same culture.
150 and 42? Yeah. 43 and 22? Also yeah.
