Writing Memes - Blog Posts

*writes two paragraphs after months of literally nothing and it took three hours*

Why do you have to call me out like that sometimes I didn't even use commas probably could even redo this meme with periods versus sentences of reasonable length

*writing my stupid little fanfiction*

*looks down at ipad*

[ID: a picture of a cat screaming superimposed on a simple background; the cat is screaming "WHY IS IT SO ASS???". There's an ipad which says "stupid fanfiction that isn't good but is bouncing around in my brain and won't leave". /END ID]

Keyboard go BRRRRRRRRRR

Me in the shower: *plans the paragraphs, dialogues and words i'll write for my WIP as soon as i'm done bathing*

Me as soon as i get out:

me when a poem says something that i have the possibility of feeling

me. me when a poem says something ive felt before

the guilt I feel when I’m doing something else instead of writing is there, it’s just not strong enough to make me stop doing that something else and start writing. so it’s just there; enough to make me feel guilt, but not enough to make me write. 

thus most of the times, I’m doing something else while feeling guilty knowing I should be writing.

I wrote the word 'soup' last night, which was about the 15 word I wrote. That was as far as I got before I went on a search of what food peasants ate in medieval times, and fell asleep. Writing is truly bizarre.

How it feels to be writing right now.

Please, please, please stop talking so much, guys, we're too far over the word count already. Well. Serves me right for handing out POVs to everyone like cheap chocolates.

Is any of you good at deleting things? Or is it the universal plight of writers? Me, I'm not getting out of this without help or divine interference.

Prepare to be menaced by writing memes, I'm back at my nonsense writing these days.

Ages has passed, and now he's looking at the even bigger box that says 'Series'.

Word count, bane of my existence

Now I have to spend ages fattening him up with descriptive prose and literary references…

i'm a hungry little clout goblin but in the way that i jump in excitement when i get an ao3 comment because it is validation that other people have seen into my obsessed fandom brain and enjoyed what it produces

After much deliberation and manic procrastinating I now present my official list of favourite charcter archetypes:

Character who does objectively good things and is on the side of good but is still an objectively terrible person

Gruff loner parent who adopts other characters and care about them deeply in their own way and it's really heartwarmingly obvious but they will never actually say it

Absolutely feral rough and tumble fighter who is misunderstood as a troublemaker, gets mad when their friends are hurt and will sacrifice themselves at the drop of a hat but would never admit it

At some point had big protagonist energy but all their friends are dead or gone and are just trying their hardest after getting in over their head but still wanting to do good in the world

Gods who literally couldn't give two shits about your problems and what humans these days are up to

Someone who has escaped a terrible situation and hated the person they were when they were in said situation and is trying to be better but has terrible self-worth and succumbs to the power of friendship™ and a well written recovery arc

Prick "I know more than you" academics who are snarky and absolute smug little shits especially to the antagonists but have a heart of gold

Antagonist that everyone but the person they "work for" knows is the one who's really in charge

Character who can and will easily kill you in 101 ways with their bare hands but will feel bad about it afterwards (bonus points if PTSD and their personality is absolute baby) That one shapeshifter who's just here to have fun, cause some chaos and prank everyone

That one shapeshifter who can transform into one (1) thing and that one thing is an absolutely fucking terrifying beast of some kind when they go Apeshit

Flirty pretty femme boy or girl who probably doesn't care about gender at all so long as they get to look fabulous and tease people they think are cute

A group of 'orphans' who findfamily in each other (feat. Intimidating but objectively good parent who has unofficially adopted everyone, older sibling child trying to take care of everyone, the chaotic dumbass, the innocent bean, the one who's having none of their bullshit, etc.)

Amnesiacs who are just trying to move on with their lives and turn over a new leaf and are honestly terrified of finding out the truth of who they were in the past

Brain:

Me: Can you like… not do this???

Its the doc! The blank document steals the ideas from. Your brain!!!! If you want to keep your ideas,, do NOT look at the doc when you open it, look STRAIGHT* AT THE KEYBOARD and write the first words to pop into your head! Once the document isn't empty it, takes away its evil power over you

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

when the character finally has the breakdown you’ve been building to all book

stuck in the constant limbo between “really excited about my own writing” and “pretty sure I can’t actually write”

how do you be a writer, they ask. how???? easy. every morning i get to the keyboard and unleash unspeakable violence on people that i made up
