🍉🎀 :)

🍉 in what ways has writing helped you process trauma and/or navigate through your own life?

i think it's a stretch, but i definitely have been writing a lot of stories revolving around characters who are feeling completely lost and like they have no direction in life. so take that as you will. 😭 also smut tends to come out when i'm feeling particularly touch-starved and/or lonely. let's not unpack that.

🎀 give yourself a compliment about your own writing

i think my dialogue is generally pretty good and feels natural. me saying this definitely has nothing to do with the fact that i'm re-reading a dialogue-heavy scene i wrote a while back and it's still funny even after all this time. and also the fact that i'm currently reading a book in which all the pov characters' inner dialogues read like aliens trying to act like what they think people might sound like.

fic writer asks 💖

#sometimes i think my dialogue is questionable #but then i read an excerpt from a bad booktok novel and do some light editing of my own work and move on with my day #oh to have the confidence of a mediocre fanfic writer turned mediocre bestselling author 😔 #answer #ainulindaelynn #ask games

also to add on to your "destiny dying long live destiny"

its the Monday after a holiday weekend for the states. people are exhausted and probably going back to work or trying to down tune

also also its the holiday week where a new mainline Pokemon game just released. regardless of your opinions/the quality of it its still a brand new Pokemon game. thats gonna pull ppl from anywhere.

Yep! It's really interesting how November without an expansion in Destiny has been low two years in a row. And incidentally, both Novembers, there's been a Pokemon and Call of Duty release (on top of other major releases).

I know Aztecross said "don't tell me it's because it's Monday, it's Monday for other games too and there's 34 games above Destiny by player count." But it does matter. Those other games also probably have fewer players than they do when it's not post-holiday Monday.

And ofc, not all games are tied to seasonal cycles. People know there's nothing left to wrap up in Destiny so they moved to other games that they may have been neglecting during the Destiny pinnacle grind. I've neglected other games for Destiny this season and I've been catching up with them now that Destiny's season is ending and I have nothing left to do. If I have to choose what to play on a Monday before the new season, it won't be Destiny. Cringefail confession, but I spent this Monday catching up with levelling my battlepass in Overwatch. Yeah it's Monday, but I have things left to do in Overwatch and none in Destiny.

If Destiny is someone's primary game, they'll prioritise it in the first two months because of the pinnacle grind. I have to get my power level up so I can do GMs. I always prioritise Destiny first. So when I'm done, last month of the season, I play less because I have to go back and do stuff I neglected in other games. It's really simple. The fact that it's the final week of the season is crucial context.

And it's really hypocritical of these content creators to do this after they spent months farming negative attention and bad press for the game. Maybe fewer people are playing because you convinced them that the game is shit? They never seem to like taking credit for the negative, just the positive. You influence people's opinions! When you post the newest god tier build, everyone and their grandma copies it. When you shittalk the game for months, your fans listen to you. I don't know why that's difficult to understand.

There's obviously legitimate reasons for everyone to personally dislike the game! I have my gripes too, everyone does. I think we could have really important convos and feedback with Bungie about the issues we have. But this specific way of doing it? Constructing outrage by using "numbers" stripped of all context to "prove" that the game is objectively bad? It's sleazy. And it helps no one. Worst of all, it results in really awful online behaviour under the guise of anonymity and perceived justification: "bad devs ruin the game, we have the right to complain!"

Bungie knows the numbers better than any of us. If they're concerned, they will deal with it. And ofc, we'll see the numbers skyrocket in December. And then drop in January. And then skyrocket in February. And so on.

#destiny 2 #bungie #community #ask #its so easy to just see a bad number and call it a day #it took me two days to make edits for that chart #its a lot of work to consider five different outside sources and connect it by month across 3 years #its so much easier to say 'pvp is bad now to me and clearly im the center of the universe and i have proof im objective' #also please. even people who are just into the lore have issues with this season #I've had extensive discussions about how disjointed and cramped this season felt #people tuned out and are waiting for greener pastures #this idea that every season has to beat the previous record is some capitalist bullshit mindset #some seasons will be less interesting. it is what it is. we've all been there #thinking that each season will beat the last is an easy step towards crunch #im personally okay if some seasons are 'mid' to use twitter lingo #im okay with reused assets. im okay if devs take shortcuts sometimes #im okay with less engaging periods. its fine. i still have criticisms but ultimately its fine #all media is like this. i feel like people playing are literal babies sometimes #they never seen a mediocre season of a tv show? or a mediocre movie sequel? bro #give your feedback and move on. no need to create an entire personality out of it

So. Turns out that Season 8 of Within the Wires is in fact

It really strikes me that people treat fanfic authors as if they don't know anything about writing, which is weird because even before I wrote fic I cowrote a stage play I got an award for back in high school, poetry my teachers would frequently compliment, and my own original ideas in novel format- which structurally you learn in high school it's not some fucking Devine Knowledge no one knows about? If you didn't learn what an inciting incident is and the basic structure of a novel and tropes like The Heroes Journey by eleventh grade then fine but don't project that onto a format of writing you have some weird vendetta against. After that I went to uni and wrote dozens of academic essays for my degree, some of them quite extensive in length and obviously there's technical skill involved in that writing.

Besides that after I stopped writing fic I learned how to write screenplays and wrote like 3 episodes of TV shows in film school- which by the way used other showrunners ideas because writing an episode of an existing show is how you build a portfolio. That's right fanfic hating assholes, if you want a tv writing job pull out ur fuckin fanfic out so your ability to capture the voice of another show can be judged. I also wrote a movie script in school and I highly doubt I'm some Special Snowflake among fic authors, so where the hell does this idea that fic authors are all 13 year old yaoi obsessed morons who've never even seen a book their whole life and never learned even the most basics of writing like what an adjective is come from?

I know people who hold this idea don't seem to think they're misogynists but they treat fic identical to how people treat romance and erotica outside of Fic World and I highly doubt two areas in which women are the ones doing most of the writing would get targeted with the exact same rhetoric of "that's not real writing" for completely different reasons if the arguments against the fiction are basically the same. Because obviously Real Literature doesn't have romance, sex, or women writing it.

Regardless, it's utterly asinine to assume fic authors have no idea how to write because they're writing fic- like actually no, technically speaking I'm qualified to write all kinds of shit as far as what I know, so I don't much appreciate that my writing a single form of writing somehow means I have no skills or training just because Ive written that particular format according to some people. It's deeply insulting and I really do wonder if people think people who write as a hobby should even be allowed to have that hobby if theyre this obsessed with publish or don't ever even LOOK at a word. Like not only is it insulting to suggest that my hobby is somehow some particularly god awful drivel, but apparently those people don't know what a hobby is given that zero other hobbies get treated like this. No one walks around telling people if they aren't playing professional sports they can't play them at all- we just know that normal dudes playing football probably aren't Tom Brady and aren't looking to be either.

#winters ramblings #just because YOU dont know anything about writing doesnt mean everyone is in your boat #and ill tell you right now just because you know about writing doesnt make you good either #im fairly mediocre- raw talent in several areas but VERY diamond in the rough #granted i have more talent than the hacks shitting on fanfic im sure but ill bet im 1000X better an editor #than theyd ever be. editing isy strong suit im VERY good at looking others work over amd figuring out what to shimmy #around to make it better. sucks because i wish i was a better writer but like TECHNICALLY i can write several formats #so to suggest i dont know what im doing because i write FIC is absurd. im bad at writing because i cant plot for the life of me #story im good at worldbuilding im great at character voice im good at but plot? god help me i suck at it #still busdy WEIRD to make the assumption fic authors dont know how to write because they write fic #as if you cant learn how to write outside of fic and apply thay knowledge to the fic?? #because im willing to bet of the talented authors people like they probably have experience writing #be it by themselves be it real writing jobs or training in a writing feild. theres outliers for sure but ill bet #of the REST they arent fucking morons and know how a fucking book works its not rocket science #being good at writing is almost less structure and more everything else mostly because you can get away with bad structure #assuming you have other stuff to offer but if you have the best structure in the world and BORING writing and characters well #no one will boher with that on account of reading is entertainment. you have to ENTERTAIN #by that metric dic authors do more than their hobbies on that and thats true of shite media too #like scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse isnt some Grand Amazing Oscar Winner but it doesnt need to be #like fuck if you insist on only watching oscar winners thats fine but lets not act like your Refined Taste makes you superior #like bitch ive seen oscar winners and ive read best sellers- winning awards doesnt make it Iron Clad Amazing #im sure people have lots to say about Green Books oscar win including me it should've gone to blackkklansman #point being 'good' media doesnt even escape criticism so lets not act as if only watching 'good' media #is like eating the fruits and veggies of media. you are not what you read write or watch lmao #spitting out takes that fucking dumb- as if only watching and reading Quality Content makes you lacking in anti intellectualism? #makes you sound dumber than what you paint fic authors as. media dont need to be good and hobbies arent meant to be oscar winners #or Pulitzer prize winners. fic is a fucking HOBBY and even if it wasnt that doesnt mean people who write it dont know how to write #you have no realiztic idea WHAT someones background is and book structure isnt something So Rare no one knows about it #im aure fic authors know how to ficking GOOGLE shit if they didnt go to high school you arent packing #you dont have Special Book Knowledge karen we all went to high school and if we didnt dont shit on that persons writing asshole??

it really does suck a little to see the severe likes-to-reblogs ratio that happens so often on people’s work like i get for my edits they’re either niche or mediocre and i get that going in but if it still bothers me a bit then i can only imagine how frustrating and hurtful it is for people who genuinely want and need the engagement, who are genuine artists and creators.

like, seriously, is it THAT hard just to hit the reblog button? it’s literally right next to the like one. and i get that people like mobile tumblr more now (for some batty reason), but it still doesn’t take much effort. just two taps. so?? just reblog people’s work if you actually like it, bc we all know you’re not liking it to keep it on hand to interact with later.

it just kinda feels 😕

#it's honestly the same w a lot of work people put into content - fan content in particular bc this is tumblr / #like my bpd anakin meta has 200 likes to the 95 reblogs // #which don't get me wrong is definitely a lot and i still appreciate that but it IS an insane difference #and again. that and some of my edits - particularly the st ones - took me days to do #i went in realizing i wouldn't get much engagement for anything i make bc again. i know my skill level and i just want to have fun #but people who are making gifs / videos/ meta / are Literal Artists who need engagement to make money? #c'mon man. this isn't like giving a kudos on ao3 or a like on twitter #it does nothing for the creator on here and it can feel kinda. sucky #i'm not writing this for me btw like again i know going in what i'm making and what i expect out of it #one of my favourite icon + banner combos i've had for this blog is made to deliberately look ridiculous #bc that was my skill level and it's funny so i know where i am as someone who makes edits or whatever #(which is either silly or mediocre or niche) #but it *does* still feel weird to me despite that so i imagine people who create tons of shit #and are like. seriously amazing or really hoping to see if people like it or new and wanting to know what people like/dislike etc etc #can be quite hurt by this. sometimes financially even. so just hit a reblog for them pls #liz.txt #or would this be considered a - #liz vents #? 🤔

I wonder what the largest shellfish is?

Edit: Okay this post is getting a LOT of traction. What is going on?

Edit: Fucking hell.

This post has set off a fucking MINEFIELD!!!

What have I DONE????!!!!!

I’ve lit the blue touch paper and found there’s nowhere to run to!

I’ve summoned a wolf only to unleash a tiger!!!!! Made of fire! And nails.

Probably….

Idk.

Edit 2: 5,000 Notes! Good god! What the HELL do you want from me. I’ve never had a post of mine take off like this until now.

Some got close like the one about homeowner associations (fucking powertripping middle aged mediocrities!) which got at least 1.5k notes but this is the most I’ve gotten on a single post so far.

Anyway.

AND this post has officially gone to hell. (6,666 notes)

Edit: 8,000 notes! Holy shit!

Edit: 9,000 notes!!!
