Anyway I'm switching between WIPs every five seconds and struggling to write anything, but the most active one at the moment is a Silm Mutant AU.
Not a mindblowing concept or anything, especially since I tend to lean more toward mutants-as-oppressed-and-disabled-people than mutants-as-superheroes, but mutant AUs is just something I keep coming back to, I guess.
So it's a modern-ish AU, everyone lives in a version of Beleriand. Mutant are known to all and pretty openly discriminated against. Fingolfin is head of the Noldor School for Gifted Youngsters (or something like that, I didn't properly name it) in Hithlum and the younger generation are in their twenties or teens. Fëanor fell out with Fingolfin years ago and took his family to Hithrim, where they started an extremist mutant faction.
Maedhros and Fingon kept in touch and have been meeting whenever they could and dating. Maedhros's mutation is fire lighting and manipulation, a weaker version of his father's extremely powerful energy manipulation ability. Fingon has Cyclops-style uncontrolled blasts coming out of his eyes. He has to constantly wear a mask to keep his eyelids close, as they're the only thing stopping the blasts, so he's functionally blind.
Maedhros, while on a mission for his father, is captured by the ultra-powerful anti-mutant Morgoth Corp. Its Head of R&D, Mairon, has been trying to get his hands on a Fëanorian for years to study their mutations. Maedhros is experimented on at Morgoth Corp's headquarters Angband for months, with everyone powerless to get him out.
Until Caranthir manages to get a rough location on him and Fingon, impulsive, terrified Fingon, goes in blasting hot (literally) and basically razes Angband to the ground in his effort to rescue Maedhros, something no one else would have dared. He finds Maedhros chained by the wrist with an adamantium cuff, and he is forced to blast his hand off to free him.
They are rescued by a mysterious man in a helicopter named Thorondor, who says he comes from the almost legendary Free Mutant State of Aman.
The part I'm currently writing is set about a year later, when Fingon is kidnapped out of his bed by Curufin and Ambarussa and finds himself in Hithrim, having lost all contact with Maedhros since the rescue.
Here's a snippet:
“So, you had your underage brothers break into the school and kidnap me,” he summarizes, “because you want to help me with my mutation? Is your father aware of this?”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Curufin scoffs.
“Excuse me? I’m being ridiculous? Is Maedhros aware of this, then?”
“No. I’m sure he will be once he gets up, though.”
So Fëanor is probably not there, but Maedhros is. “How is he?” Fingon asks softly.
Curufin hesitates. “Better. Most of the time.”
There’s another silence while Fingon tries to wrap his head around that. What does better even mean? It’s been a year—an entire year of no contact. And before that…
“He’ll be glad to see you, I think,” Curufin says quietly.
Fingon takes a breath. Then another.
There. This is my new year's resolution to chat freely about my WIPs on here, I guess.

Amazon is awful, but I am forced to use it
Who sends someone an email to inform them they're getting a payout of less than a dollar this month? Amazon, apparently.
So, in the interest of not curling into a tight little ball and wondering why I tried to do all of this in the first place as I slowly sink into deep, dark, squelching dread...
Here is a link to short stories what you can purchase!
If that is indeed a thing you are into.
They are quite spooky, most are bloody, one has a horrible thing happen to a generally nice dude (that one is Don't Look, and if you're not comfortable reading about assault of the sexual variety then I insist you obey the title).
I apologize for my face, it has no excuse to exist, but it does and I was told to put it up...so it is there.

So, sometimes this Sonic AU idea pops on my head, appearing all of a sudden and disappearing just as fast.
The idea is pretty simple, pretty sure it's not even the first one, but I wanted to get this off my head.
The idea is basically to remake the old Sonic manga as a Shonen series, trying to adapt the Sonic cast to a teenager superhero series, with Sonic being the protagonist and having to balance between his superhero and civilian lives.
Basically Sonic, but Spiderman/Danny Phantom/Kamen Rider Fourze.
I don't know why my brain keeps going to this idea, but I made a giant wall of text about it, so I wanted to know if anyone would want to see that thing. Maybe I could even try and draw this idea.
But then again, I'm not that famous, so I doubt that prople would even find this. Oh well, I guess I can have hope.

I have been on this earth for 37 years and I have been writing stories for the vast majority of those, and I have never ONCE written homophobia as a thing that even exists into a single story, and tonight I realized I’m writing one with a friend where I’m trapped in a setting where it is going to be a thing. I will break this streak for one (1) person because I love her, but I’m rapidly realizing I don’t know what I’m doing.

I was happily writing when I realized that I could change a big/small plot point that would solve so many problems but also royally mess up my planning and idk if I want to take that road or not
Problem is, I need to decide what to do before continuing because I'm at a crossroad. It's either this or that

love how my body is simply refusing to hear me when I tell myself that I am safe and that it can relax now. how many times do you think it's gonna take for my brain to accept that I am no longer living under threat..
