The Fact That Yoohyun And Yoojin Are Equally (but Differently Relative To Each Other) Crazy. And Wild.

Let yourself be self indulgent

Writing is the one time you can be completely self indulgent without having to feel even a little bit bad about it.

Embrace it! Let yourself wallow, explore, overthink, test your boundaries. Opening yourself up to the experience is the mark of a great writer.

Saving these until I finally decide to write a reborn fanfic

I know it sounds weird but I am in need of Italian words/phrasings the Papas would say to each other in the middle of an argument or fight. Or just annoyed and don't want to talk or do something they are asked to.

Things on the line off fuck off, dickhead and so on.

This is actually a really good question, too. Not weird at all. A few choices:

“Va a farti fottere!” - get fucked, go get fucked, fuck off

“Testa di cazzo” - literally dickhead

“Fottuto” - fuckface, fucker, stupid fuck

“Non rompere” or “non rompermi i coglioni” - Stop busting my balls, don’t break my balls (stop bothering/annoying me)

“Mi stai sulle palle” - You fucking piss me off/bug the shit out of me

The famous “Vaffanculo” is a bit controversial, because although it’s intended as “fuck you,” there’s a slight edge of homophobia to it, since it literally means “go fuck somebody’s ass.” Having said that, few in Italy really use it in that sense consciously…they really are just saying “fuck you.”

“Fratellaccio del culo” - a fun one because you’re saying “stupidass brother”

“Sei pieno di merda” - you’re full of shit

“Sono cazzate” or “che stronzata”- this is bullshit

“Ma va!” - believe it or not, in the right inflection, this short expression means “don’t be ridiculous”

“Mentecatto” - another way to say “idiot”

“Non si combina niente qui!” - we aren’t resolving anything!

Hope this helps! As always, if you need a direct translation of anything for your particular fic, feel free to send me a message (not an inbox ask, since I have to answer those publicly).

Also, the usual disclaimers apply: nobody’s perfect, I also use regional phrases, happy to be corrected if I screw up, etc.

I feel like I need more iron dad and spider son fics

AO3 writers when canon sucks:

people always talk about leaving comments on ao3 like it's a nice thing to do, or the best way to encourage writers to keep writing, or overall like it's how you Do Your Part in fandom

and yeah, all those things are true, but having spent the past few months leaving enthusiastic comments on as many things as i can, i have a different perspective

you should leave comments on fics because it's fun

taking the time to stop and focus on what i like about a story has made me way more aware of what's going on in stories and what i like about them. there's bit more actual comprehension and appreciation and not just beaming content into my eyes to fill time

i like noticing cool little things in fics, or riffing on funny events. i've never been very good at speculating or picking apart characters, but sometimes something clicks and it rocks.

and of course it's pretty nice when you get a response and it's clear you've made another person happy

so yeah, you should leave comments for your own sake, too. it makes reading better!

Trust me, you don’t wanna know how much and how exactly I fantasize about men.

I just think people write out of obligation too often.

"How do I motivate myself to write through the boring part of my story?"

"How do I make this boring scene not boring?"

Don't write it.

Don't write boring things just because you think the structure of the story demands it. I promise it doesn't need to be there.

If your characters need to have gone shopping for a later part of the story to make sense you can just have a sentence about how they went shopping and move on.

You are not obligated to write the boring parts. No matter what those parts are.

You are not obligated to make the parts of your story that you're not excited to write interesting somehow.

You can just write the fun and interesting parts and gloss over and summarize boring things.

Your audience will thank you and you will thank yourself.
