Heyy!! Where do you get your motivation or the ideas for your fanfics lmao 😭😭

hi!! <333

ooh good question

to be honest, my motivation comes from the fact that I a) have no life and nothing better to do and b) that I actually have about sixteen wips in progress, so when I don't feel like working on one, I work on a different one

sometimes it makes updating unreliable or getting a certain storyline done slower, but in general, it works for me :)

and in terms of ideas.... to be honest I'm just hit with it at the most random times, normally when I have something else simple distracting the loud bits of my brain

For example, when I'm walking. When I'm on my school bus and looking out the window. When I'm sat in bed in the middle of the night and crocheting or listening to music and staring at my ceiling. It helps having a certain part of my brain stimulated for the ideas to flow

I also tend to ponder over a new idea for a day or two, refining it and figuring out which version of it I want to use. Sometimes I don't like the original idea I come up with but I do like what I made from it, so I switch the storyline around in my brain a lot before writing anything down.

And the ideas themselves can come from anything. A conversation I heard on the bus, this certain part of another book I've read that's given me a whole load of new ideas, a new topic I started learning in my history class, whatever. As long as I can pull a story from it, it works. And, honestly, sometimes I'm that out of ideas that I resort to OTP generators and the like. (Basic, I know, but it works :D )

So yeah, that's what works for me, but everyone formulates ideas differently. And as for the motivation... I only write if I want to. It shouldn't be a chore. It should be a passion :)

hope that helped! <333

i respect those people who have sideblogs for all their different interests, if you follow me, you’ll just have to accept you’ll be submitted to whatever nonsense i’m into at the moment

sometimes I forget that like 90% of my ships aren’t canon ( usually because one or both of the characters are dead ) but then I just sigh and go back to reading fix it fics and gay AUs

Can’t stop picturing Lester doing CPR while yelling-singing Stayin’ Alive

Not in an angsty way, just in a stupid funny way

Like he’s just sitting there doing this while the Arrow of Dodona is in his ears going “THOU HAST MISTIMED THE BEAT OF THY SONG! SHALL I AWAKEN THE SPOTIFY FOR THEE?”

Meg’s just in the background dancing, then Lester’s voice cracks and she falls over laughing

Kayla walks in dragging Will with her

Will takes one look and goes “Dad, he literally doesn’t need CPR, you’re just gonna break his ribs for no reason”

He stops.

They never speak of it again.

Mina: I don't think it's ok that you like boys

Kit: Why not? Is perfectly fine boys to like boys

Mina: How can anyone like boys?

Kit: From homophobic to homosexual, you're slaying queen

One thing I will say about Cassandra Clare and early Shadowhunters stuff is she stood on business ten toes down when it came to her villains. No lame nature vs. nurture debates, no last minute cop out redemption arcs for the YA audience, just demon incest, Victorian Elon musk and demon STDs that turn you into an evil worm. 10/10 no notes.

laughing my ass off

Michael : When I was your age-

Kayla, mocking Michael : When I was your height.

Michael :

Michael : Listen here you little shit-

I love my girl, but she scares the shit out of me on a daily basis like girl-

please-

just sleep 🙏🏻

when the best friend says something super horrific at 1am and you have the immediate urge to drive an hour to her house to go hug her:

What's your favorite MasonYew HC?

asked in true valentines day spirit <333

oh gosh I am partially obsessed with the idea of Jake being Michael's safe person for so many reasons, but my personal favourite is because he just knows him.

like if Michael's had a bad day or something and is just completely wasted, flopped on his bunk in cabin seven like a potato and Jake walks in and spots him, he knows what he needs instantly

Michael's convinced Jake is prophetic or something at this point, because he knows exactly what works best for him in every situation even when he doesn't know what he needs

he'll be upset, thinking about spending some time inside cuddling to forget everything, but Jake knows better and drags him outside into the forest, walking amongst the trees and getting him to talk about it until Michael just flops into his arms and vents. And surprisingly enough, he feels a hell of a lot better afterwards and Jake teases him about always being right

but I love the idea that it just confuses Michael so much, because he's looking at Jake like 'how do you know this about me?' and Jake just shrugs

"Boyfriend magic. Let's go bake cookies."
