#I wrote this back in 2013

[bogkeep]

they found a girl at the beach

her words all washed away

still feeling waves against her legs

and whale skin at her touch

foam in her hair, salt in her veins

so

they tell her about the sea

#poetry #haiz writes #REPOSTING because the format of a quote post made in 2013 just. breaks! fun #this poem is from over ten years ago i forgot i wrote it but it showed up when i looked for another post of course #the tumblr search function is broken in very interesting ways #the original was in norwegian and the translation needed some editing #but that's the beauty of it isn't it. a piece of art is never really truly finished. you can change it forever. and it will change without #i have a hankering to get back into actually writing poems again. it was a part of my daily life as a teen #but i dont... know how to get into that kind of space anymore. probably because it doesnt exist in the same shape #so i gotta carve it out again and it's hard! #also this is not what the poem is About but i can tell i wrote this after i watched Whale Rider (2002) for a school assignment

Flurries

Winter 2014 (Maybe?)

I had never seen such beautiful, crystalline snow. As in a dream, I watched it stick to the window: a snowflake garden growing on glass. But they faded so quickly, before I could commit their sinuous forms to memory. Gone without a whisper, gone like a dream I can't remember, gone like a wish long buried. There are other flurries, still blowing in the billowing winds-- yet I can't help but feel from behind the cold glass panes that I've lost something precious. If only I could gather all the flakes in my arms, toss them up in the sky, make them my stars.

#this poem is from between 2013 to 2015 to be honest #so it's a really old one #I'm not sure where I originally wrote it down (on paper I mean) #although I was up alone in the old stacks of my college library at night when I wrote it #I used to really like breaking up phrases in odd places #of all the poems I've written over this years this one pops back into my head from time to time #my poetry #winter poems

Redrew some old doodlesheet my teen self drew

It is 3AM I am going onto memory lane, remembering my early years of being a Vaati obsessive, what it was like to be a teenager writing poems towards him, staring at fanart until I fall asleep and doodling him in school 24/7. Even imagining him to accompagny me to school because why not lol.

I posted a lot of art online in that time. I found this old doodlesheet I did in school while reciting every goddamn line he ever said ingame by heart and priding myself in having that knowledge (I don't anymore lol).

I made a gift to my teenage self and redrew her doodles in my much better skill. Im sure she would have squealed seeing my current artwork :,) my teen self deserves a headpat and a vaati plushie, seriously.

#forgive my mood its a 3 AM mood #no i cant sleep #must reminisce #i recreated the situations in which i drew vaati in 2013 #i am listening to music i assigned to him in 2013 #i am fully living in memories right now #i remember the 2013 vaati fandom #i am reading what i wrote into my diary back then #i wouldnt wanna relive 2013 ever but a lot of things were less complicated back then #i miss some of the vaati artists i looked up to in 2013 and the community from back then #back then when deviantart was still alive #when i had my vaati art senpais and i felt comfortable enough to gush about him online lollll #well at little bit at least. i prided myself in ´not being cringe´but oh the hypocrisy #cringe but free amiright? #i will maybe regret being so open online later RIP #loz vaati #vaati #vaati the wind mage #vaati fanart #legend of zelda vaati #minish cap #loz fanart #zelda fanart #the legend of zelda #minish vaati #my art

Starting to think that Slut! feat the 1975 might be fake ngl

#just saw the lyrics and it has m*tty being one of the co-writers #unless this was planned to be a remix i dont think it's real bc i dont think they knew each other when she was making 1989 back in 2013-14 #and she said she had to decide between slut! and blank space when coming up with the tracklist for the og version of 1989 #so i dont think its a case of 'wrote shortly after the album came out but it still kinda fit the theme and sound' (like mr. perfectly fine) #also that version has a whole verse that was cut #so unless it was a remix.... i think its fake

That sense of accomplishment when you think your writing's trash, but see that more than 10 people have your story bookmarked so they can read it over and over, because they enjoyed it so much

#I got a comment on a story I wrote back in 2013 #today #and I was checking out the statistics #and though I see some errors #it just kinda... #puts things into perspective #because I didn't think my stories were good enough to be enjoyed enough to be bookmarked

[pallases]

okay i lied abt being done going thru old things ive spent the last like hour and a half clearing out my drawers bc they are a MESS and i found a “song book” of mine and it gets dark so unnervingly fast

#there’s literally a viciously scribbled out page of lyrics begging my dad to come back HELLO 💀 #also several abt loneliness and guilt and losing hope how old was i when i wrote these… #this is following songs going OOOH IT’S A SCARY HALLOWEEN NIGHT and LETS DO THIS THING and WE ARE GIRLS and DANCE W ME etc #i know i got the book for my 10th birthday (i know this bc i am also reading thru a diary that starts off saying i got it + that diary for #the songs) but idk how long i continued w it. i can’t imagine it was that long tho bc i am NOTORIOUSLY bad at keeping up w journals #although admittedly this diary im reading rn does span 2013-2015 which is better than my usual track record and i got them at the same time #what’s v curious tho is the last song #draws the same comparison as the first poem i wrote and i desperately want to know if i #went back to that diary then w the thought oh i could try to make a song out of this metaphor or if i actually wrote that that long ago and #it stuck in my back of my mind the whole time #personal #actually no it must be the latter bc turns out the first poem i wrote in 2018 (thought it was much earlier) and my handwriting definitely #didn’t look like this then. that’s so interesting

[alliluyevas]

i just got THE sweetest review on an old theon fic i wrote when i first got into asoiaf saying the person had first read it seven years ago and it had stayed with them ever since and it honestly meant soooo much to me. made me cry a little bit.

#i think my writing has evolved a LOT since my first go around writing asoiaf fic in 2013-2014 but this theon fic was imo probably the most #adept thing i wrote during that time period i do think it holds up pretty well. #i was a decent writer back then but like. i was also 15-16 years old

#❛ ♡ › jupiter : 𝐨𝐨𝐜. #the deuteragonist who is seen as aloof and #pretty reserved until a certain point is reached ... they have their go to sayings: cool / what a pain #and a lot of their trauma comes down to instances with their siblings #also those demons inside of them that they need the protags help with #to all my SE mutuals: i wrote soul on fb back innnn #2013 - 2015 i think! #hes a muse i would bring back only if my best friend came back to rp i think ... bc we created our own little au and while it was when i was #that young ... soul wouldnt take it without my partners muse being there idek <3 #theyre both just. tired ... #the piano playings lich.t's talent though sorry ku.ro #large image /

Nico Rosberg’s podcast is wild because this man will call the most interesting big names in formula one, sit them down in front of a microphone, pull out multiple handwritten notebooks where he’s jotted down their entire life story and a list of their most traumatic life moments, open these things up, stare his guest down and then just proceed to talk about himself for like an hour straight. And then give them advice on what they’re doing wrong

#most iconic moment hands down is when he told daniel to switch his braking differential when overtaking? #but then censored out the exact setting so no drivers can steal that pro advice #nico i dont know how to tell you this but lewis hamilton doesnt listen to your podcast #hes doing a photoshoot for Gucci with his dog right now. theyre dripped out in matching gucci suits #he doesnt have time to listen to this you dont need to censor it #he also brings up his therapy a lot but refuses to call it therapy which is iconic #also this toto interview? the notebooks are present but they appear to be blank #nico wrote down his toto notes in invisible ink. so his enemies can't read it of course #real ones remember when nico was the hot girl of the grid back in like...2013? #he was basically our....not charles since there were all those intimidatingly hot french drivers back then? #but he was hot and people wrote a lot of whump fics about him #now hes the sports villain and extremely botoxed #and created a podcast just so he can call in toto and tell him he needs to try meditation #oh how the mighty fall

1, 28, 37, and 50 for the fic asks 😊

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

We All Have Our Excuses for a short one and as an introduction to the fact that I am a bastard who loves drama and hurting characters and readers. Or Watch the Tide Come In as an introduction to the fact that when I do an AU, it will be a weird premise, the worldbuilding will be good, and I will try and translate as much of canon to the new setting and versions of characters as I can.

28. Does anyone read your fics before you post them? If so, who?

Just me. I don't have a beta and I don't like people seeing my stuff unfinished for the most part. I have tried to get irl friends to read my works (if they are also in the fandom I'm writing for) to varying levels of success. I'm the only person I personally know who's read any of my stuff after my one Good Omens fic.

37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?

Exsanguination. I love this fic. I love how it turned out. I love the mood. I love the pacing. Its the only thing I've written that I've re-read for my own entertainment. It came out to be everything I wanted it to be. Honorable mention is I Forgot to Remember, another 2nd POV fic in the IZ fandom that I personally think turned out pretty good.

50. Answer any question of your choice, or talk about anything you want to talk about! So I'm going to answer 41: Link a fic that made you think, “Wow, I want to write like that.”

Any of the fics by RustyPaperClip about Butch/Harkness, particularly Trouble and To Tincan, from Butchman. It isn't so much 'I want to write like that' and more of 'I want to make people feel how these fics made me feel'. I've referenced them a lot, specifically in Tide with the notes Hermes and Charon leave for each other and in the fallout au, obviously. I love these fics and they genuinely were inspiring for what emotions I want to get out of people as they read.

Honorary mention are two fics from the Pacific Rim fandom that were written in 2nd POV that blew my third eye wide open on how that point of view can be used. I can't find them right now, but they were newmann fics and were written before the rise of selfship and self-insert fics and Jesus-fucking-Christ. So fucking good and it showed me what you can do with 2nd POV when following an actual character with thoughts and motivations and I wanted to be able to do that.

#jacq answers #i feel like i recced those newmann fics somewhere like 8 years ago #i read them dozens of times back in the day #i think about rustypaperclip a lot #i hope they're doing okay #cause what they wrote means a lot to me and they havent been around since 2013 #i wonder if they ever went over to ao3 #i know they did not bring their fics with them #i hope they didnt stop writing

So like i'm thinking

I'm indeed writing a book, but it's in french.

And while I'd love to see it translated, i'm not sure I would trust anyone other than myself translating it LOL

So i'm not sure it would even be possible, i'd probably rip all my hair out haha.

But ! I guess I can still talk about my book here because, like... Honestly ? tumblr is probably the best place to talk about it, considering everything I want to talk about, in this book.

So i might come and brainstorm here, sometimes...

#writing #I write #so like i used to write vk fanfics #and ever since i wrote the last ff I ever wrote i wanted to rewrite it but with OCs #I tried back in 2013 or something and it was Trash #like disusting Trash LOL #so i changed the story from sci-fi-esque to fantasy-esque ? #and I've been working on this new version on and off since like march 2021 #my main character is a trans woman and she's a witch ! #most my characters are queer one way or another #most my characters also mostly aren't cis-men lol #it originally was based on the lyrics from new vogue children from schwarz stein #but the story kinda changed a lot since then lol

Don't hold me accountable for any anti sjw shit I said before November 26, 2018 as I've publicly disavowed all anti-SJW shit on that day.

I said I'd rather live in a world run by SJW than by conservatives/fascists, and I meant it.

By all means, if you're not sure about something I said in the past, ask me, and I'll tell you exactly what I think about it now

#i mean that as joke mainly #by all means hold me accountable for the fucked up shit i used to push #but please know that i dont believe any of it anymore #can i go back and punch my 2013 self in the face #if i could erase what id been from history i would #but i cant so now i dedicate myself to fighting antisjw/conservative/fascist bullshit #you dont have to forgive me #just acknowledge im not that person anymore #sometimes i cant even recognize my own words theyre so far off from what i think and i cant even remember writing it #let alone what i was thinking while i wrote it #i wasnt actively bigoted but i was an apologist for sure #google that date if needed #it will tell you the event that i had a negative reaction to that conservatives defended #they defended tear gassing children #also i put 2019 at first thats wrong #it happened in 2018

VS MEMORY is now officially longer than victory lies before you and it’s set up to just keep getting longer

#mobbtalks #I’m not even. close. to the resolution #and I have to go back through the whole gotdang thing and add More scenes #AND there’s a whole big chunk I just haven’t even written yet because I don’t know what I’m gonna put there yet #it’s. at 19k right now. maybe 20k I wrote some since I last checked #what the fuck did these funny train guys DO to me #I mean okay I had a Deltarune piece I considered super long right??? taking me months just chipping away at it. 13k. #funny train guys in a goddamn *quarter* of the time Or Less??????? a cumulative fuckin #41k?????????? super sonic speed took me a year and it’s 25k!!!!! AAAAAAAAA #if anyone’s not. uh. as brain rot focused on these numbers as I am. the k? in like 18k? it’s a thousand. so 1k is one thousand #18k is eighteen thousand. *41k is fourty one thousand* #wait I need to go check smth #Oh no okay we’re good #I just. had the horrid thought that maybe the project I’ve been working on since 2013 wasn’t gonna. be longer. but it’s 65k

[notdrifting]

when i think that the last time i wrote doctor who muses was on 2016,,,,

#sometimes the void screams back 「dash commentary」 #its feeling old hours #i started in 2013/2014 and wrote the doctor + a mumu till 2016 #feels good to be back - very nostalgic #found someone who inused to write with and im so happy they are still around!!!
