emotion of "man i should reread chalion" warring with "if i read about fantasy isabella of castile and her victorious reconquista i will simply yarf"

I would kill for this small thing. I would set fire to villages and indoctrinate small, off-grid towns into a false religion for his “>v<“ countenance. I would walk into an open battlefield to get him his toy if needed. The concept of modern AUs scares me because his peers would influence him to use terms like skibidi toilet and the impact of the words would be so devastating for both Ajax and I that it would blow the skin and flesh off our bones. This is a plea. Stop putting Tartaglia in modern AUs. The fear of his younger siblings being similarly modernized terrifies me

#i don’t mind modern AUs for the record & I think they can be really cute + they’re just easier to imagine at times however. #However. HOWEVER. #modern ajax implied modern siblings. modern siblings imply whatever the fuck it is that youtube shorts are. #hell world. #⚖️ #🫀🐚

bro i think nothing is more devastating than thinking of a stellar fic idea and then immediately realizing you don't have the skill or understanding of canon necessary to pull it off

(Obligatory “I DONT THINK THEYRE ROMANTIC” disclaimer) I am fucking cringe. But I am free.

do you already have a date when u plan on posting the fake dating au chapter 6?? I’m DYING to read it, I love this fic so much 🥰

hiiii anon! firstly, thank you so much for the compliments 🥺 i am so soft whenever someone tells me they enjoy the fake dating au, bless, it just means so much ❤️ it's the most self-indulgent thing i've ever written lmao so hearing that you all are enjoying it too? INSANE. and also absolutely amazing. <333

secondly: gosh, you know, i wish i could give you a specific date 🥲 unfortunately my work has been absolutely murdering me lately, and it's all contributed to a rather nasty spot of exhaustion and writer's block over november. i did try and help myself out a little bit with some 5 sentence fic prompts (which, btw, i am definitely planning on finishing when i get a minute! there are some FAB prompts in my inbox still and i am really excited for them actually.)

anyways all this to say: i know i said i'd try and update fake dating au in november, but that turned out to be a little impossible, i'm afraid. i have been finding a bit more motivation in december, though, and i can exclusively report that chapter 6 is already 5.6k words long! but... far from finished (it's going to be an insane one lmao 🙈 i predict 7k or perhaps even 8k.)

regarding specific dates: you know what, maybe it WOULD be good to give myself a deadline 🤔 because since it's december, that means all the christmas projects and winter fic exchanges and december birthdays and whatnot are coming up, so soon i won't have time for fake dating at all, welp. i'm going to say: 10 December. if i haven't finished writing chapter 6 by the tenth, then unfortunately it'll only go up sometime in january next year. so let's all say a prayer and put our hands together in hopes that my work chooses to be merciful to me for the next few days so i can get it done 🥲🙏🙏🙏

thanks again for asking, anon, ily and i appreciate your support and kind words so much ❤️

#asks & answers #anon #wip: love's a game #oh fake dating au 😭 i feel i have let thee down badly the past months #unfortunately there is nothing much one can do against writing block #even more unfortunately #my brain is like a freaking magpie lmao #i see a new idea and i'm like 'OOOOO SHINYYYYY' and need to fly there immediately #however. HOWEVER. #i have promised that i will not abandon fake dating au #and i fully intend to keep that promise #i even finished drawing up a complete chapter plan for it at the beginning of the week #because i realised that 10 chapters won't be enough lmao 🥲🥲 #we are going to have 16 chapters now #because OBVIOUSLY if we can't have 10 the next number it's gotta be is 16 #the piarles logic has spoken #anyways <333 ❤️ thank you endlessly for your support and kindness!! ILY anon #my fake dating anons are the best anons

checked out a local theater guide and found out that one of my fave shows has their LAST SHOW THIS WEEKEND an hour away & did the mental/emotional equivalent of, like, a cat desperately scrabbling against a freshly waxed floor

her pronouns are HE/HIM

#I do actually think it's neat on both a character and representation level #that steven only ever objects to being called rose/pink and never says anything about pronouns. however I think this is a funny joke. #steven universe #id in alt text #marina marvels at life

anyone who thinks dostoevsky's writing is dry and humourless is missing out on passages like this

#🐉 #i dont think my version is the most common translation because its worded a bit differently #(but still gets the same point across) #however im glad because this bit makes me howl every time i remember it

i dont like the idea that kids these days are doing their fandom rps with ai chatbots. that's how you're supposed to make lifelong friends as a weird really online teen.

#i was never really an rper of any kind it just did not do it for me #im like im sorry actually i cant do this collaboratively i need to be controlling all of the little dolls myself. #however homestuck rp deck epicmafia. now that was another story

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

#this is just me ranting sorry #im very tired and hungry #and i want to sleep but brain go brrrrr #well i used to be nice and smart and now im neither of those or however the song goes #pretty sure he was exaggerating cause looking back. it was good. but some of the wording was a lil wonky #adhd #actually adhd #executive dysfunction #actually neurodiverse #adhd paralysis #adult adhd #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #adhd hacks #academia #neurodivergent #adhd skill regression #confessions of a burnt out gifted kid #<< i guess #former gifted kid #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #realizing i sound rly pretentious here sorry -- formal speech patterns i picked up as an autistic child and never put down again haha

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

#I decided I wanted to be a comic artist bcs homestuck inspired me #in the sense that it was like “fuck it tell your story however you want to” #and now it's like “tell your story this one specific way or fucking die” #wtf
