Y'all "astarion ascended and I will rule together and he loves me and will make me a vampire, and he's not mean as long as i don't disagree with him" are cowards. Embrace the toxicity!

#Will be tav's tormentor it's a cycle #Embrace the angst #Embrace the pain of seeing love fading away or never stopping to love someone who knows lives trapped in this power #Go wild #It's fictional #The story can't hurt you

i doubt anyone cares but here's another snippet from my angsty mako fic that will hopefully one day be written. anyways here's mako watching his parents get murdered :)

Your firebending was weak. Pathetic. It hurt to use, and you hated it. Hated the way you couldn’t stop thinking about the flames engulfing your father as he screamed and screamed and screamed. The way his skin blackened and charred and your mother could do nothing as she too burned. She had hardly ever used her bending for more than cooking and lighting the candles and hearth at home. What could she do against a real firebender? You stood there and watched, crouched silent behind the crates, with the heat of the flames licking your skin, as your parents screamed and burned. You hated yourself for your terror, for your helplessness. Eventually, when they stopped struggling, the firebender took their things and left. At first, you stayed behind the crates, eyes closed, hands over your ears, too terrified to move. What if the firebender came back, what if he got you? The smell of burnt flesh reeked and you tried to block it out, tried to shut out your mother and father’s screaming and moaning. You never knew how long you were cowering behind the crates. But eventually you crawled out, towards your mother. Your father had stopped moving. You caught a glimpse of his face, and the sight will never leave you. Blackened, charred flesh, no features, no discernable face, just a mound of charred meat. Your mother was moaning and writhing weakly on the ground. She didn’t recognize you when you touched her, just moaned in agony. Mama, you cried. Mama I’m scared. The guttural sounds of her cries never left you. You still hear them in your dreams, even now. Half her face was gone. You focused on the half that was still there, bright red and blistered, oozing. You hadn’t bent for a long time. Every time you tried to summon a flame, you would see him, see them writhing on the ground screaming as they burned.

me reading straight up pornography: hmm… this one just doesn’t have enough accurate character psychoanalysis to get me off

#d #rihanna sticks and stones can break my bones but fictional people’s thoughts about whips and chains excite me

•Normalize Fanart for Fanfics Again You Fools•

It's not cringe anymore (it SHOULDN'T be cringe anymore), just do it. You're doing something you enjoy, who cares what anybody else says! So spread the words my fellow internet brethren.

Spread the Word :)

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

Reblog for a larger sample size!

No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.

I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

#also you know art is subjective doesn’t just mean quality wise #we all view fiction through the lense of our own lives and thus we all interpret it in our own unique way #writing #the void collection

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
