INK SONG WHOO!! This Video Took So Much Out Of Me, Thanks Ink

Bad Sansuary day 5: missed (feat. Dust)

I am using a little OC of mine for this, since I think she really fits the Bad Sanses (ahem she's crazy ahem). We're in a scenario where she's been with the gang for a while now. There is no romanticism in this, I think it'll mainly be her interacting with the gang following the prompts. It's also a weird mix of canon and fanon. I tried my best, but beware of the cringe >_<

Bad Sansuary belongs to @owl-bones

Dust belongs to @ask-dusttale

Ashes belongs to me

Dust knew Ashes was a very tough opponent. He saw how she fought in battle, when they attacked AUs and Dream and the Star Sanses showed up. She threw herself at the enemy with reckless abandon, taking hit after hit with nonchalance and hitting hard and fast, leaving little to no room to dodge or attack back. But he expected her to be very bad at dodging, seeing how she basically threw herself into the enemy's attack.

Seeing how this was a sparring match where the first one to hit the other won, and seeing how he was pretty good at dodging, Dust expected to have at least a slight advantage on her though.

It wasn't until they started fighting that he understood how badly he had miscalculated.

She was quick to react to his incoming attacks and somehow managed to avoid and squeeze through every single one of his patterns, putting up a good fight even when he tried to change his patterns to catch her off guard. In return, he dodged every single one of her attacks even if with some difficulty, and they kept going at it for some time.

Dust could see from the corner of his eye socket Killer and Horror watching intently, waiting to see who would come out on top in the end. The two of them already fought and were placing bets on how his fight was gonna go, Horror betting on Ashes while Killer thought Dust was gonna win.

Dust snapped back into the fight when a fireball flew by his face, missing him by a few inches. He took a step back and retorted by sending a few bones at Ashes, which she ducked under and sprinted back up and towards him to try and get closer, as Dust teleported away to get some breath. He could feel the exhaustion of the fight starting to settle in, he was determined to win this but Ashes was starting to wear him out. He noticed then that even though she was still going strong she was starting to show the signs of he body getting tired as well, she seemed to not care about it but it was clear she couldn't keep going for long without collapsing.

Dust steeled himself and sent some more bones at Ashes, making some of them come out of the ground as well to which Ashes responded by summoning some fireballs and also sending waves of fire after Dust, who did his best to dodge them, getting his hoodie burned a little but he was quick to put the fire out. He stared at Ashes, trying to guess her next move, and she just smiled at him, sharp teeth flashing at him and eyes locked in his. She summoned flames on her hands, slightly shifting position, and Dust summoned a long bone as he braced for the impact that came a moment later, Ashes launching herself at him with flaming hands and him parrying with his bone.

They stood there wrestling for a few moments, Ashes grabbing his bone staff and him trying to get free and hit her with it, locked in this position where no one could hit anyone. Eventually Dust tried to free himself by jumping back, but Ashes was onto him immediately and tried to take a few swings at him, as he dodged and tried to find an opening to teleport away and attack.

He found himself in a position where he could push Ashes back and get an opening, so he did and teleported away, taking a second to catch his breath. He had to end this quickly, and as he looked over at Ashes he could see she thought something similar. They were both gonna drop soon, and Dust wanted this to end as quickly as possible.

He got an idea, focusing all his remaining energies on a Gaster Blaster and a few bones who trapped Ashes and didn't let her escape the range of the Blaster. She looked up at the Blaster with an almost crazed expression, and she raised her hand as she summoned her own sort of blaster as well, a dragon skull he had sometimes seen her use in battle that spit a powerful blue fire. They both charged up their attacks, then let them fire with all their remaining energies.

The beams of energy and fire clashed in the middle of the sparring arena, and Dust immediately felt the toll as he fed his Blaster more and more energy, gritting his teeth and feeding it one big final wave of energy as a final resort, causing an explosion which let out a lot of smoke as Dust collapsed against the barrier of the sparring arena, gripping at the ropes tightly to sustain himself and waiting for the smoke to clear.

As the smoke slowly faded, Dust saw Ashes' figure slowly get clearer. She was kneeling down, clearly exhausted and panting heavily but still smiling somehow. Dust checked her over for injuries, but he surprisingly found none as he slowly realized what happened.

They both came out unscathed from the match.

It was a draw.

Heyyyyyyy

fic writers in the tags tell me the fic you're most proud of writing. any fandom, ship, no ship, any length etc. whatever work makes you go "oh i wrote this" and elaborate why if you want

💥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💕💕💞💞💥

*shoots you with love gun* *shoots you with love gun* *shoots you with love gun* *shoots you with love gun* *shoots you with love gun* *shoots you with-

If I'm going down...

You're going down with me =)

Going to post entry ten and eleven of Bad Sansuary together tomorrow because I couldn't write entry number ten today

Ahahahah- It's true

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.

My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.

My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.

This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.

Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.

I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.

So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.

Yooooouuuuu

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
