Yep, ‘what he would’ve wanted’ has been updated and more pain has been whipped out on a silver platter. Plot happens in this chapter. Feelings happen in this chapter.
Lots of things happen in this chapter.

quick “STOP THE COUNT” meme dump so I don’t lose these gems
writing mandalorian fanfiction be like
if i misspell ‘Grogu’ as “gogy” one more fucking time i am going to go apeshit
Just a constant stream of what am i doing? what was i doing? i was doing something. where’s my thought train? am i faster than a train? how fast does a train go? where am i going? i was doing something. what am i doing?
Do any other neurodivergent ppl, especially adhd ppl, walk around and basically chant things to remember them? This morning I was walking around my house saying "what am I doing? What am I doing what am I doing? Im making coffee I'm making coffee I'm making coffee I'm making coffee! I'm making coffee." and continued to chant so I didn't get distracted AAND SHIT I JUST GOT DISTRACTED BY MAKING THIS POST FUCK GODDAMN IT
how other people see my enthusiasm in writing fics: passion
how it really is:
this is a reminder, PSA, reassurance etc etc for anybody who is second guessing their plot.
just because you are writing a book that contains:
a school for magic users
witches, wizards, magical folk
a summer camp (or just camp) for “special” kids
gods/goddesses (Greek Norse etc etc)
people who control the elements
people who hunt demons and other supernatural creatures
people in a dystopian society who break away from the government
people who live in a weird paranormal town
a horror/mystery with terrifying supernatural creatures
a main character who is not female
a main character with dead or missing parents
a character who lives with an abusive parent, family member, or guardian
does not mean it is:
a rip off harry potter (you could probably do better than rowling anyway)
popular and already seen a thousand times
copying Camp Half-Blood or the Parent Trap
a badly written Percy Jackson
an avatar knock off
stolen from the plot of supernatural or shadow hunters
basic, unrealistic, overused
taken from Tim Burton movies or Gravity Falls
trying to be Stephen King or Dean Koontz
sexist, anti-women
stereotypical, a sympathy trap, a typical sob story
inappropriate for younger audiences, a knock version of the Dursley’s or Al Marsh
but it does make it:
magical, a new glimpse at a new magical world, most likely 500x better than rowling’s
witches, wizards and magic folk will never go out of style. magic is so fucking cool and has so much potential for new and different plots, characters etc
fun!! who doesn’t love summer camps in books?? au’s? actual plot settings?? summer camp settings are amazing, top notch, just *chefs kiss*
i mean, we all love loki, so why not give us stories about his kids?? not necessarily fan fic, but seriously, ancient gods and goddesses are so dope and really deserve more modern books written about them.
not used often, and so cool to see societies built around the elements! i don’t think we’ve gotten enough content of different worlds that have powers withdrawn from elements, it’s such a cool and untouched area of magic!!
never overused. i could read books about supernatural creature hunters for the rest of my life. you can make your own creatures!! and add cool human-monster hybrids. god, the possibilities are limitless
weird paranormal towns are just the best. who doesn’t love weird, run down, and low populated towns with a complex supernatural backstory that revolves is crazy shit happening all the time?? if you don’t, you have no taste. sorry but, i don’t make the rules. paranormal small towns always have been and always will be the shit so please keep writing more
BE THE NEXT BIG HORROR WRITER. horror is such a complex genre to write and i honestly admire everyone who can write horror. i don’t think there’s nearly enough horror content coming out these days. give me more, MORE. nothing in that genre is overrated, write about vampires for all i care, sure it’s been done a thousand times, but with your own twist added, you can make something never seen before
i am a female. i dont get offended by main character being anything but. yes, there are far more male mcs than female, (in more popular modern literature) (and don’t get me started about the unrepresentation for non-binary, gender fluid, trans etc in literature. i will never stop ranting about it) but that doesn’t mean not making your mc female a crime.
dead parents are a common way of portraying a mc’s loneliness, lack of affection, lack of restraint, lack of a good parental figure. but, it can also be a good way to represent other things like their relationship with and other family member/guardian, that you’re parental figure doesn’t need to be a blood related parent. honestly, keep the dead parents trope comin, those kids are always awesome anyway
extremely realistic. not everyone has a perfect home life, and it’s important to see that in literature as well. who knows, if your mc escapes their abusive guardian, friend, significant other, it opens up the possibility to helping other in similar situations.
and most important of all, every single wip out there is:
unique
amazing
special
appreciated
awesome
dope as fuck
deserving of awards, praise, and popularity
not to be given up on
important
different
unlike anything else
loved, wanted, and needed
please don’t give up on your wip. it’s all of the above, and really deserves to see the light of being completed, ravished, praised, appreciated. someone out there will love it, i’m sure of that. so keep writing, keeping being awesome, and keep fucking writing. :)
A part the ‘what he would’ve wanted’ wip I’m working on rn because this chapter is taking a while and I need to feed the wolves. See if you can guess what’s going on!
He didn’t know what he was expecting, couldn’t understand how he hoped for the same mechanic that had helped his buir all that while ago. What, that after all this time she’d not only still be here, but would also be in the hanger his teacher had chosen at random?
Please. He remembered how the other Younglings would hate it if a story melded perfectly for the character’s usage. ‘He has stupid plot armour!’ they’d cry out. ‘It makes no sense!’
Fool him twice for thinking he had plot armour.
I just thought it was funny :)
as if GEESE weren’t a disaster enough, now you give us GEESE that think that they’re DRAGONS?
GEESE that will STEAL YOUR STUFF and HOARD IT like a ferocious beast? GEESE that will HONK and SCREAM in a mimicry of a ROAR? GEESE that are EVEN MORE SELF CENTRED THAN NORMAL GEESES?
a goose that was raised by a dragon would have so much power. it could walk into my house and I’d have to move out. It could take my first born child. It could step on me and I’d have to apologize. It could chose to enslave me and the only way I could ever call out for help was to reblog a tumblr post about goose eggs being hatched by dragons. I have no power against a dragon-raised goose and neither does god.
a dragon finds a clutch of goose eggs and attempts to hatch them
Old Town Road but he just keeps listing all the places he has horses
