Your Own Pace

***I am academically exhausted constantly now -a-days and just cried over an essay that is a week and half late that I spent an hour on a paragraph just to find out everything in the paragraph was false. I will now vent and comfort myself with demon boys. Don't mind me.***

Summary: Sometimes, school is just really fucking hard. But that doesn't mean you have to do it alone.

Attending the Royal Academy of Diavolo wasn't easy.

You were in classes constantly learning new things that was common knowledge to everyone else in the room. You were forced to endure subjects that you had purposefully avoided in the human world because you knew that you had neither the interest nor intellect to pursue them. And with all the drama that came with living in the House of Lamentation, it felt like you were always a week behind, playing an endless game of catch up.

It was exhausting. You were exhausted. But you never thought you were this exhausted

"Are you kidding- URAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!"

Satan's head shot up at not only the sound of your infuriated scream, but the spike of wrath that just plummeted down his spine. With a frown, he sat up from his reading chair in his bedroom and poked his head out into the hallway.

Beelzebub and Mammon were in similar states, he noticed, spotting their heads also looking out towards your bedroom door.

They all looked back and blinked at each other. "Should we ..." Mammon started glancing over at the door once more.

Beel simply hummed, before making his way over to your room.

It was Satan who was voted to knock. "MC? Is ... Are you alright?" he asked with some hesitance.

The door ripped open, and the tree demons had to take a moment to process what was in front of them.

You hair was greatly disheveled with an eerily likeness to that of a mad scientist. There was a crazed gleam in your eyes, that even as you looked at them, Satan couldn't help but notice that they weren't fully focused. You chest was heaving with stuttered breaths behind your tightly, locked jaw. "What?" you snapped. "I'm trying to work."

Beel frowned. "But you screamed?"

You let out an exasperated sigh, your eyes looking up to the ceiling. "Yes. Because this essay is beating the absolute shit out of me."

Beelzebub, once again blinked. "Is your essay enchanted? Are you injured?"

Feeling anger begin to bubble up inside of you once more, Satan quickly cut off his brother. "I don't think that's what they meant, Beel. They mean they're having a hard time with it," he turned to you with a curious expression. "Talk to me. What's going on? Maybe I can help."

You huffed, arms dropping to your side. "No. I don't want help. I know I can do it on my own, but-" Another aggrivated growl ripped from your throat. "Nothing is clicking! It's so fucking stupid! This class! This fucking essay! Not to mention it's already a week and a half late! I hate it so much!"

"MC," Mammon began, his blue eyes filling with concern. "It's alright-"

"It's not-" your voice finally cracked. "Wh-What if I never finish it? This paper is worth 30 per cent! I'll fail the class a-and a-nd-"

You were suddenly engulfed by Beel's arms as he held you tightly. Your body tensed instinctively as you fought to free yourself before melting into the demon's embrace. Your eyes burned as you felt your chest grow impossibly tight.

"It's okay," Beel whispered. "Even if you fail, which you most likely won't, it's not the end of the world. It's just a class-"

You frantically shook your head. "No. It's not. I need it for the program. I need it!"

Satan moved forward and ran a hand through your hair. "You need rest. You can always retake the course another time if the worst case happens. You can go at your own pace, MC. But this isn't healthy. You shouldn't be this stressed out over a paper."

Mammon hummed as he joined Beel in the hug. "It's okay to be stressed. It's okay to cry. Just, know we don't expect you to be fucking prodigy or somethin'. Just let it out."

Suddenly, you had no say in the matter. Tears broke free from the damn behind your eyes as gut wrenching sobs, as heavy as boulders, rattled your form like a window in a storm.

The brothers didn't move. They didn't say a word. They just held you. And they would keep holding you until you were ready for them to let go.

Accidentally reread my Shooting for the Sun Fic on the last chapter's anniversary (yesterday).

Thought about how I never wrote an epilogue and needed to

reopened the fic to find half an epilogue already written

Andrew being called "Drew" makes my eye twitch... and I don't know why.

#especially when i read it in fics #i'll never tell someone not to have a fan theory #but this one is just... idk why i'm annoyed by it #there are bigger fan theories that should (and do) annoy me more #but i am so hyper focused on this one for some reason #i won't tag this #i just needed to vent #i'm sorry 😔 #and i know i've shared my displeasure with this fan theory before #but i read the tweet about the author saying she saw it #so... yeah

🌹🌹🌹 to have on hand if you want to share or brag on anything while in your reaching 100k push <3

I have been staring at this one curiously, trying to seize on the perfect thing to share.

Then I stared at it mournfully during the time I was waiting for my new charger to arrive.

Now my charger is here, I can pick back up on my word count, and I am a mere 2200 words away so I will hit 100k this weekend or so help me.

That said, I've realized what I want to share isn't a snippet -- it's some brain goo.

For Oh God You're Gonna Get It (You Have Not Been Given Love), I want to talk about the chapter without Jamie.

This chapter is midway through the fic, and it's current working title is 'Six Rounds' (also known in my head as 'Six Round Roy.') The conceit of this chapter is that while Jamie is away in Manchester for the weekend, Roy has a series of conversations (again, this is Talking: The Fic) with six different characters. Storylines are progressed, he gets to stretch some of his new therapy muscles, and he also gets to run headlong into that common 'I'm fixing my life' pitfall of rushing to try to fix too much at once.

To me, I enjoy the concept of a chapter like this - not only for the narrative break, but because I enjoy it when characters have many people (I will find the Vonnegut quote, the 'you are not enough people' quote, and post it later). So we get to see a bit of how Roy is fitting in with everything- with his new position as manager, his relationship with the players as both a coach and a mentor/friend, his relationship with Keeley and how that's changed. And one more bit that I'll get into.

However it's been digging into the back of my head- are people going to enjoy a whole chapter without Jamie? And a very very long chapter at that. Most of my chapters have an average of 3-5 scenes at inception, with smaller bits that grow in between to connect them. This chapter is 6 almost completely non-related scenes, and I can already feel the need for glue to hold them all together.

So it's been worrying me - a whole freaking chapter without Jamie? Someone's going to skip it, or skim it, because it doesn't have their favorite guy in it.

But then I had the realization as I was making my notes on it that actually despite not being physically there Jamie's in every scene. I don't mean in a he-crossed-Roy's-mind way either. All the conversations he has, Jamie is in them somewhere. That's just how baked into Roy's life he is at that point. That's how baked in he is to Richmond at this point. He's just there, a presence in everyone's life, and especially Roy's life, so of course he comes up.

Which is why it's telling that the one conversation that he doesn't come up in, that 1 time out of 6 conversations in this very long chapter, is when Roy is trying to have a conversation with the people who aren't really in his life at all. His parents.

#fic: oh god you're gonna get it (you have not been given love) #ask box is always open #thank u gav <3 #for this opportunity to just vent off a little bit of the feelings I am having #because this isn't a scenario where i went 'well he's gone but i'll make sure he comes up! for the fans!' #it's a scenario where i went 'no i'm going to focus on roy and not shoehorn him in no matter how much i miss him' #but then it didn't matter...because richmond missed him to #his whole other family missed him and thought about him and asked about him and asked roy how he was doing #so it turned out that i'm much less worried now having a chapter dedicated to exploring roy's relationships with other people #yeah #writing progress

Sometimes it be like this when reading fics

He's an unlikable bastard but he's my competent unlikable bastard child! You will respect his competence!

#me when Bakugou becomes a dummy in fics #i get it he's not likable but he actually knows what he's doing. like can we respect the brain underneath his prickly head? thank you #i just don't like it when one character gets... uhh belittled? becomes incompetent? to elevate another character #like we can elevate them without belittling the other one right? #cause otherwise. did they really rise up or did we just dumb down the competition? #it probably fits other characters too but this is something i saw a lot with Bakugou in fics #they are probably vent fics made by people who hate him tho. which yeah honestly. better than attacking other fans i think.

I need to study but did I just watch reruns of Maze Runner to reminiscence about 8th grade summer cuz why not and felt myself getting internally brawled over with Teresa's sacrifices and the virus contaminating Newt and fucking Janson, well I did. Watched Teresa falling down and as if that wasn't enough sorrow for one day so went on to watch Gwen Stacy falling down another crashing building (meh, cried a lot) and now musing if it's worth reading the books all over again cause I miss Thomas, Minho and Newt or if I should do something productive and get back to my inbox and write about the ship and fandom they want me to and not something else I would sprang on them or perhaps just fucking study for the exams.

#Rant #Someone make me do smth cuz I'm just contemplating on shit to do #What's the point I wrote a fluff fic but whose gonna edit it?! Def not me in this season #desiblr #tmr #Letting go here cuz my bff has decided to tune in to his studies and well good for him #I'd ask him to pass me that energy but he isn't entirely helpful and he has decided to try those candle studying techniques #I couldn't do that kyuki fan is must while studying candle aise hi buch jayegi #Another rant in here but had to vent somewhere

[jedi-enthusiast]

*Talking in a writing server about beta readers and getting our works critiqued, among other things*

Me: Oh yeah, I just post my stuff as is, without getting it critiqued or beta read by anyone, just because a lot of the "mistakes" I make are actually stylistic choices rather than actual errors I've overlooked

Me: For example, I often use "x and y and z" in my fics instead of the more grammatically correct "x, y, and z" because it works better for my style and I feel like it's more dramatic

Some Random Asshole: Well actually, that's a common mistake a lot of people make, you can get it fixed in (x channel)

Me: ...

Me: CAN YOU NOT FUCKING READ???

#obviously I didn't actually say that last part #but I sure as hell thought it #like #what part of “I do this on purpose because I like it” and “I don't want my stuff critiqued” are people misunderstanding #I don't get it #writing #fan fic writing #writing vent

[mishapen-dear]

I read that same fic earlier and I just straight up muted the person so their works don't show up for me anymore lmao

there was also another one like that posted yesterday because the person was mad at something qBad did a couple of days ago while not at all in his right mind and amnesiac, it was odd (not shitting on the person just confused and slightly concerned)

yeah there’s. a lot of misconceptions around qbad rn lmao. It’s one of the reasons Im so obnoxious about him, tbh, so that it’s not JUST the negativity that gets spread. He’s a really good target for the hate rn, because he has a smaller fanbase and his pvp playstyle + lore lead him to all that antagonizing during purgatory, and that gets vented out into fics.

It’s genuinely really interesting, the dichotomy that seems to exist between tumblr and twitter regarding him. Ive heard nothing but slander about bbh from twitter (again, he is not faking his illness, that is a lie), but he’s got a solid enough foothold on tumblr that ive seen more hate towards the fans that the cc, here. which makes sense, given how we take over the tag almost ever day when he logs on. genuine o7 to people who find that obnoxious but thats one of the reasons i overtag so much, for blocking purposes.

anyway i think all the bbh mischaracterization means that we just need to write about him more >:D please this is a call for more bbh centric fics from people who do not hate him/know a little bit about his lore. blease he’s such a fun pov to write i promise

#mishapen answers #discourse #<- discussion of it anyway #idk maybe people are spreading lies over here too but i block anyone who doesnt filter their neg/go out of their way to make bad faith #arguments. #i think ita REALLY interesting how seeing all the hate towards bad had me finding myself saltier towards other fans/creators too #so i can understand why these vent fics are being put out yknow sometimes its just really fun to hate a guy #but that’s what neg tags and bashing [character] tags on ao3 are for #on tw/itter where a lot of this gets spread you dont really. Have that #dont mind me ive just been ruminating on this a bunch the past two weeks #ive never been so active in a fandom where discourse had the opportunity to actually reach me #its been p interesting to observe how thats effected the way i say and clarify things #<- rhats the main point of my other post ig because if my gifter is someone who has been seeing nothing but bbh neg after bbh neg comes her #*here and sees me swooning about bbh’s ‘only egg protector’ and ‘no one helps him’ complexes Getting Worse during the end of purgatory #then they dont have the context that im doing so strictly for fun and not putting it on other characters/blaming them for not also swooning #we have media literacy in this house i promise #i would like more characters to have flaws and feel alone and commit incredible sins #anyway. excusez-moi im verbose when im tired and procrastinating #anonymous

Zukaang shippers who feminize Aang into an uwu smoll cutie girly cinnamon roll uke reminiscent of the worst type of BL just because he's 12 and smaller in the show are DEAD TO ME

#to be clear i don't care about more feminine aang or nonbinary aang #it's the specific type of fan work that gives off a... vibe #it's the worst type of uke-ification of it all #it makes me so fucking uncomfortable #it's like when ANY other male character is feminized in fan work it at least feels like they tried to make it in character #with aang it's just open season in the worst most horrible way #because he's already cute and soft #anyway rant time #vent #zukaang #atla #zuko #aang #this is about the fic where zuko cheats on mai and gets aang pregnant and instead of fealing ashamed aang flaunts it and it's portrayed #as a good thing like dang didn't know that some shippers HATED Aang #mine #akira original

[fexicoded]

just saw your recent post. the grief is hard and i feel the same way. i could just be carrying on with my day but i get reminded that he’s gone and all the anger, sadness, and guilt rushes in.

while i never knew him personally and i am a fan of his, i would like to think that he would want everyone to remember him in his happiest moments. that brings me comfort. it’s easier said than done but i believe we can eventually get to a point where we can celebrate his life and art. we can keep his legacy alive by talking about him in every context. i just hope he and his family find peace in all of this.

(this was also me venting too lol sorry)

I really appreciate you responding to my post, I was not expecting anyone to cause I was venting in the tags but I've always loved having anons in my inbox in general but also helping us all during this awful time.

But yea, I agree with you. I'll be going about my normal fucking day and doing what I need to do to move forward in my life and then have it hit me that this guy that impacted me, even tho I didn't know him, died and I'll never get to see him make an impact or grow from the pains he was dealing with at the moment.

And I do agree, he would be so fucking pissed we were being sappy and sad all the time and a bit embarrassed and yet geeked at the outpouring of love for him. I do feel like I can say I'm happy to have gotten to the point in my grieving that I've accepted what's happened and yet I can't say I do accept it... grief over a celebrity is tough and the parasocial relationship doesn't help either.

TLDR: I'm still here, I still grieve Angus and will for a long time, and idk where I'm gonna go with this account, my writing, etc.

#will i find something to write fanfic about in the future? maybe (and this sounds so fucking self absorbed and making it all about me) #at this moment will I write fexi? idk man (damn do i sound narcissistic) #i wish i could i loved writing them but after my last fic i have had no inspo and was waiting for s3 to get new inspo #but god... life is a bitch #and it takes the wrong people at the wrong time leaving an absence in place #it fucking sucks #and the worst part is i didnt fucking know him #but i do know he really would appreciate everyone (the fans public etc) talking about how much they loved him and a bit embarrassed lol #so yea #that's what im feeling #but yea as ive said before if you ever wanna hit up my inbox to shoot the shit vent whatever do it

[fairyreblogs]

man i dont know why (i have theories but hold on) but the fandoms Ive been in on the internet have been a little meaner these last few years. like i dont get nice comments on my fics anymore. i get ones with no reading comprehension or i get angry ones or i get ones that are enthusiastic and delighted but instead of any decorum they are like. aggressive in their delight. usually just a demand for more content. something has definitely changed in how people in fandoms interact with one another. my theories are just like. younger generations more comfortable with the internet not being as polite as older people on the internet are combined with quarantine kinda ruining a lot of peoples ability to interact socially (mine was ruined too to be fair). but like lately ive been in search of a fandom thats not the markiplier fandom that is nice to me and not aggressively-enthusiastic-weird (but i might take this too) and its kinda hard to find one. i dont know if i just dont have interests that align with happy communities, or what.

#markiplier fandom nice to me forever and ever. #sometimes they get me on edge when they demand i update and dont even say like 'nice fic i liked this' they just say 'update' #but thats literally like the meanest fan ive met so 👍 #fnaf fandom is interesting. you definitely gotta treat them the way you want to be treated or theyre not gonna be nice #unfortunately this means you cant joke too much with them. #uh. moment of truth. percy jackson fandom kinda mean. ok they are mean. no kinda. also no reading comprehension #definitely a fandom that bonds by choosing something to nitpick and hate together. which sucks if you liked that thing they chosen that wee #my little corner of the xmen fandom has actually gotten nicer as time goes on. but also more obsessed with details and accuracy #but my corner of the xmen fandom was still nice enough that i adore them even if i havent been in it in ages #marvel is very so-so depending on where you are in the fandom but its such a large fanbase it is what it is. normal #witcher fandom from my experience has been pretty chill but i havent done much as a content creator for them to really know #d:be human is. decent. unfortunately a lot of outside hate there that it kinda outweighs how polite the fans are #star wars.... well. if you find your niche good for you! nice people. but if you get too generalized with your niche. rip #sw fandom when you study mando'a or dai bendu: hai X3 !! #sw fandom when you get too generalized and talk 'prequel vs sequel': die #vent #this is funny because i was really nice about this sw comment. but its generalized. which means someone will tell me to die. #why do i know this? because ive made this comment about the sw fandom before. =_=

Ok mini vent/tsimping? (Look there's good points and bad points)

I hate mk12/mk1 shang tsung's writing. And his stupid needle wannbe basic bitch claw gloves.

HOWEVER!

I will admit despite all that. He's once again THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT THE NEW MK GAME. and it's sad really because it's just mk11 2 electric boogaloo,but different packaging. Srsly. Fr. It really is. Nothing changes. Nothing is special. It's the same shit. Trying to pretend to be something better but it's not really.

But again like i said. Despite that. Unless you're a shang tsung tsimp.

You're not going to really like the new game. Unless you have no standards and aren't really a mk fan. And are just here for the hype.

But in all seriousness,i would like alan lee as shang more and watch more of his shang ,if people stop putting him in those stupid fugly ass gloves. Get rid of those and we good bro.

I mean really. If mk onslaught can make him look like this

And keep his smugness in 12.

Getting rid of those damn gloves would make this less distracting. And stop making me so pissed off. (Im petty,i hate his gloves,sue me)

And his role needs to be done better,but i chalk that up to once again piss poor writing. And even then....still the only entertainment about the new mortal kombat game is SHANG TSUNG. Once again he has to save the damn franchise because they keep making other characters shit. Ugh.

And i want him to "win" but i want it to be worth it and actually earn it and not be plot convenient for tsimps like me. Like im a huge fan but damn man. Give me something with oomf,with flavor,not imitation fake ass cheese. Gimme real chedder,ya know ehat i mean?! Like damn.

NOT MAKING LIU KANG A VILLAIN IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE AND FUMBLE THEY (NRS) EVER MADE!

But i digress.

Shang tsung still is a cutie. Not the best in the new game as he isn't quite as delicious as the og tagawa,and im still disappointed and am rejecting canon and substituting it for my own,but still shang tsung is shang tsung and I'm out of proper kontent.

So he'll do. For now (i do 💖hate💖 how he still got charm,swag, or rizz as the young kids call it now).

Like despite the shitty writing,he's still cute.

Honey I'm so sorry they did you kinda dirty. But despite the shitty script,mr alan lee does a decent job. At least he fucking tries. Unlike some characters!!!! *stares death glares at this mk12/mk1 lame ass version of liu kang* . Like I'm so sorry sweetie that they give you half assed villainy and call it good. Ugh,you deserve so much better.

So for me this shang's a 5 or 6 solid out of 10. But this is me being a tsimp so eh. Dont take my word for it.

#mortal kombat #shang tsung #self ship #self shipping #💚heart and soul🐍 #look shang tsung is shang tsung so im trying to attempt to like the new shang despite the shitty script and storymode #*sigh*😔 #waited this long for a deadly alliance reunion and all i got was a lame ass fan fic leveled liu kang inserting himself into everything #and it's not even a good quan chi either! this quan vhi is lame and so plot convenient it's not even funny! #like the whole game is this stupid tarkat disease subplot and it's sus af and questionable why tf they would add this in a storymode #it's just an unnecessary subplot that adds nothing of worth to the game really and nothing to the characters and takes away all their oomf #like it makes baraka less intimidating and mileena subpar to make her seem palatable for the normies #and instead of making the plot fit around their characters once again they change their characters to fit a plot #thus making them entirely different characters than what they actually are #like i know they want something different but this aint it dude like nrs is trying to hard #but anyways enough venting y'all didn't come here for this so dont worry about the vents in the tags #enjoy shang tsung

Stupid nerves apparently fucking jumped out of my spine and causing me so much pain I'm about to die even on steroids and muscle relaxers and shit and really I just want to write and post my new fan fic but looks like that won't be happening soon....

Might post chapter this weekend since the first few chapters are already written with a once a week update. But we will see.

I was feeling better most of yesterday I thought this was helping...
