Man I've been working on a Thane request for three weeks now, adding to it everyday squeezing in whatever time I could spare for it.
And it's almost ready, just one part left and it's ready to go.
But dude, Idk if I'm ready to part with it yet. Like I know i will be met with disappointment since this fandom is dead, I know the fic won't get any love or recognition, I know barely anyone besides the requester will read it, that's even if the requester still stuck around this long. This blog has been bleeding to death since the day I started it, and I've been aware. It's purely for me to indulge in with my love for this game until I move on again.
I know, I understand.
But I also do not understand.
This fic almost feels like a tribute to Thane, it was cathartic to write. I love it so much but I'm really not ready for the heartbreak of posting it into the void. It's so long with so many different parts and scene changes, it has him bonding with Kolyat and the rest of the crew, it has him speaking his feelings for you and walking you down an aisle. It's too precious to me.
It's easy to let go of a fic that took a couple days to write and watch it sink into the ocean without a fighting chance, bitter but easy to swallow.
But this Thane fic? It's too beautiful to drown immediately. It will hurt immensely to watch sink in failure. I never want to finish it, just to spare it from that cruel fate. I just wish I was here during the fandom prime, I wish people cared more, I wish I cared less.
But I wouldn't be writing if I cared less. I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have written that fic if I cared any less. The fic will be finished, the matter of posting it however will be left for future me to decide.

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven't had your "third" death. You decide to find out why.

Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:
The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition
The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.
if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

started working on another helldivers piece, gonna try an Illuminate/Reader one for now. Same parody of fascism theme with dark undertones and implications.
the outline is finished. Getting lore info on the Illuminate has been challenging, however.

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
