Sometimes I Wanna Reply “bitch Me Too” To My Mutuals Posts But I’ve Never Talked 2 Them So They

Decided to play with some of my art supplies I haven’t touched in a while. I have charcoal colored pencils which are really nice and watercolor pencils! I wanted to draw all the four swords boys just to play with the different colors and I had fun with the first bit! Save for Vio 😔 but the water color pencils were a fail. I did not get the dramatic effect I wanted and my paper started disintegrating???? So it kind of ruined Green there :( sorry buddy. Also I do have water color paper so that’s why I’m surprised that… it started falling apart lol. Oh well. I have a different kind that works better.

im stealing this thanks <3 (MY headcannon now)

team medic headcanon

I’ve seen some back and forth over whether Warriors or Hyrule would be the group medic/healer and while I understand the arguments on each side, realistically I think all the links would be medically adept, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about

I think a funnier take would be that both Hyrule and Wars are both good healers, but Hyrule is good in the medieval witch kind of way with poultices, magic, and natural remedies while Wars is good in the American Civil War way

And this is funnier with the assumption that the others in the chain come from more medically advanced eras but never retained medical knowledge or skill

example: Wild gets a really bad infected bite and goes to Hyrule who starts rubbing dirt into it so he switches and tries to go to Wars who immediately is like: 😬 we might have to amputate. And he’s dead serious. Poor Wild is like: “I’m not a doctor but i know this can’t be right 😭”

This is how I imagine fours mind

50 tips for (fanfic) writing

have fun

write whatever is interesting to you, even if it won’t be interesting to anyone else

appreciate kudos when they come, but don’t expect them

appreciate comments when they come, but don’t expect them

if you wish you could just write that one scene you have in your head, do that. you don’t need to create a 30K backstory for it first.

embrace one shots

embrace drabbles

embrace writing your story out of order

rough drafts are meant to be rough. if you can’t think of a word, put in a placeholder for it and keep going. 

try not to get stuck on the little things

it’s okay if your readers can’t see the picture inside of your head

some people work well when they have a posting schedule. some people work well when they don’t. it’s okay if you don’t know which kind of person you are, and it’s okay if the type of person you are changes over time.

if a rule you created for yourself isn’t working for you, get rid of that rule.

make fandom friends. even if they don’t read your fic, they’ll cheer you on while you write it.

cheer on other writers you know. you’ll be cheering yourself at the same time.

no trope or genre is better or worse than another one. they all just appeal to different audiences.

quality and popularity are not the same thing, although they do sometimes overlap

numbers and statistics will never tell you whether or not you’re a good writer. they will never tell you how valuable you are as a person. 

you belong in fandom if you want to be there

you’re a writer as soon as you start writing things

writing and posting are two different things. your story is still worth writing, even if you never plan to share it

you don’t need to apologize for what you write or what you post. 

don’t worry about taking up too much space. the internet doesn’t have a maximum size. 

keep your readers in mind when you’re tagging your content. how could they search for your fic? if you use a tag, will be a reader who loves that tag be satisfied with how much it appears in your story?

if you have a relationship in your fic that plays a minor role, tag it in the Additional Tags section instead of the Relationship section so that people who love that ship don’t get their hopes up

be cautious when looking at bookmarks on your fic. they aren’t “extra comments.” that’s a space where readers make notes for themselves and each other, not for authors. 

you don’t need to know everything about canon before you start writing fic

you don’t need to read fic in the same fandoms you write for

you don’t need to read fic at all in order to write it

love your work because sometimes you’re the only one who will - and that’s okay

if your hobby starts feeling like a job, you might need to take a break before you get burnt out

if you get stuck on a story, you can always start a new one

if you fall out of love with a story, you can always stop writing it. if you’re worried about your readers, you can always give them a bullet point summary of where you were planning to go with thing. for a lot of people, that’s satisfying and provides closure

if you get hate, report it

use the tools at your disposal to block hate before it can come in (limiting or turning off comments, limiting or turning off asks, blocking users, etc)

try replying to comments sometimes. it can be a lovely way to make fandom friends

don’t be afraid to reblog your own writing posts.

if you get stuck on your summary, just write 1) who the story is about 2) what they are doing and 3) what problem gets in their way

notice when your writing makes you smile. that moment is a gift. enjoy it.

notice when your writing makes you cry. that moment is a gift, too.

even if you’re disappointed in how your story turned out, there’s something in there that’s fantastic. find that thing and focus on it and feel proud.

some ideas are ones you want to write. some are ones you want to read. if you ever have too many ideas to deal with at once, give some of the latter ones away to someone else. 

sometimes the things you write will be really personal. be careful about putting them where other people can comment. they won’t know how personal it is for you, and you need to remember that comments aren’t about you, they’re about the story.

remember that you can write series as well as stories. if the story is done but you still have passion or ideas, start a new one in the same universe.

enjoy the satisfaction of finishing a story. savour it. bask in it a little while.

don’t feel guilty about abandoning a story. not every story gets finished, and that’s okay

you can have separate accounts for different fandoms. you can have one account with a million fandoms in it. do whatever works for you.

sometimes writing is more important than sleep - but only sometimes

it doesn’t matter if that story has been written before by someone else. it doesn’t matter if it was written by you. write it again.

only follow the advice that makes sense to you. the rest isn’t important.

lu doodles yippeeee (can. can you guys tell I draw four way too often)

The busy work of some time ago finally came to an end... So I drew the Four who just finished work🤗 that had just finished work (but my focus was entirely on the Colours next to it😗👉👈

Beautiful.
