my year in fic
big smooches to @oknowkiss (x), @lqtraintracks (x), @maesterchill (x), and @cavendishbutterfly (x) for the challenge to share one line from each fic i wrote this year. it was such a nice way to look back on my year in fic writing! p.s. we are interpreting the word “one line” v loosely here folks
shades of dawn | E, 3k, angsty ginlav
The night after Lavender comes and goes, the moon always appears to be just as full as the night before, but Ginny knows that the smallest part of it is missing.
magpie | T, 4k, klepto harry
Draco thinks Potter might be able to take things from him not just with his hands, but with those eyes alone. He thinks if Potter keeps looking at him this way for long enough, Draco might just offer it all up.
lovesick | T, 13k, healer draco, love potion victim harry
“Maybe I’m a bit tired of all of the swooning and heart eyes and —” of watching you love anyone else. Draco shakes his head. “Forget it.”
ad infinitum | E, 14k, angsty getting-back-together + sentient house
“I love you,” Harry says. “I don’t care about any of it. I love you.”
“I know,” Draco murmurs. “You always did the most idiotic things.”
from the same cloth | T, 8k, t4t idiots to lovers
Draco nods, and Harry realizes his face is stitched with the same nerves that are butterflying through her stomach — and the feeling the two of them are standing side by side on the precipice of something new, and there’s nothing left to do but fall into it.
undergrowth | M, 2.5k, horror + floral pining
Draco worries that Potter’s eyes might carry sunlight, and if they shine on him too long, he’ll have no choice but to grow, and grow, and grow.
the seventh life | E, 18k, vampire!draco & immortal!harry reunited in paris
“Oh, I don’t know,” Draco said. “I only know the times I’ve loved you.”
“How many times has that been?” Harry pushed.
“Since the very first time I met you,” Draco said. “Six lifetimes ago.”
ash, fire, ash | G, 1k, arsonists to lovers
Malfoy tosses the butt of their cigarette into the flames. “They’ll know it’s you doing it eventually.”
“Good,” Harry says. “Then maybe it’ll make them remember my name.”
an emerald in the sky | M, 6k, time traveling fuckbuddies to lovers
There are so many Harrys sitting in front of him right now, so many men he’s met once and then lost, threading their way in and out of his life at the sharp point of a needle. The composite sum of so many strangers, and a single man whom Draco has been fighting, from the very beginning, not to fall in love with.
with hands full of dusk | E, 15k, drarry as mythical creature hunters
But Harry is older now, and has long since learned that doubt and hope are just two shades of the same color.
the night of the fireworks | E, 6k, porn with feelings
Harry’s mind was swirling, still slightly loopy in a post-sex haze. “You love me,” he said. “You said it first.”
“I didn’t say it,” Draco said. “It doesn’t count. Fuck off.”
twelve moons | T, 6k, innkeeper harry & potioneer draco
Draco climbs the first step to the door, and Harry joins him on it, learning immediately that there isn’t space for two, unless you’d like to see the other person up close — the way the glow of the moonlight might be captured on their hair, or on their skin, or in their eyes.
im tagging @teledild0nix, @sorrybutblog, @thehoneybeet, @orange-peony, @moonstruckwytch, @jalesidor, @basicallyahedgehog, @pennygalleon, @the-sinking-ship, @mystickitten42, @geesenoises, @makeitp1nk, and @m0srael if any of you havent been tagged!
#i wrote twelve fics this year!!! dang#i dont even know how many words but suffice to say a lot#and then another like 250k of stuff that is still in the works or will never see the light of day#dam...#2023 is not going to be nearly this prolific#but hopefully ill get some wips finished up!!#op

The Colonies Of Old
[Image ID: A messy sketch of the Final Light setting, with colours separating the territories. Northwest is mountains, northeast is a birch forest, west is a lake, southwest is rivers with a few trees, and southeast is a spruce forest. There’s a city in the far southeast and a small patch of territory in the north that separates the mountains and birch forest. A river separates the birch and spruce forest. End ID]
While the term suggests the colonies are a relic long gone, the colonies of old were only destroyed three years ago, still fresh in many minds. While the name can also refer to all factions prior to the Final Light, the term ‘colony’ specifically means a group of cats who believe in the Seasonal Deities and follow the Sacred Decree, the laws the deities instructed the colonies to follow.
Colony of Bones (Orange)
[Image ID: A drawing of a cave. There are various paw prints painted onto the walls in red. End ID]
Notable Traits: excellent hunters, stealthy, religious, and kind. Often have morbid views on death, and refuse to have any healers within the colony, as they believe it interferes with the plans of the gods.
Worships: the Squirrel, god of death, food, and rebirth.
With a territory of birch forest that dissolves into rocky ground and large caves, the Colony of Bones was well aware of the blessings they’d been given. They took to worshipping the Squirrel early on in their beginnings, thanking the god of food for everything they’ve been gifted. Over time, the blessings only grew as the colony discovered new materials. The birch trees had bark that could be fashioned into paper, and the inside could be ground into a powder, which could then be used to make new foods. Truly, the colony thought, the Squirrel favored them above all others.
The Colony of Bones used the bark to create scrolls, which they used to write myths and legends of the gods. Rituals began as the colony gave back to the gods, sacrificing meals, materials, tools, and religious objects in their name. The colony accepted death as a final step in a journey, and saw the eternal servitude that made up the colony’s afterlife as the greatest act of devotion a cat could do. They pitied the other colonies and the lack of their ‘enlightenment’, often gifting extra food or spare materials in times of need. To them, they were the ones guiding the others to the path the gods had laid out for them.
Colony of Fireflies (Green)
Notable Traits: crafty, adaptable, smart, good at survival. Lodgings are scattered across the territory, and several members don’t live in the main settlement. Exporter of City Cat goods, and primarily known for their diet of bugs and larvae. Least religious colony.
Worships: the Bear, god of survival, predators, preparation, and the sun.
If asked, the Colony of Fireflies would say they value ingenuity, thinking outside the box, family and teamwork, and being able to work under pressure. The colony expresses these values openly, encouraging its members to live in their own lodgings alongside their dennings outside of their settlement, and to try and hunt for themselves if possible. The colony cares for all of its members so no cat is truly alone, but the pride they feel for being able to live in smaller groups is obvious.
Ask anyone else what the Colony of Fireflies values, however, and they will immediately respond with ‘bugs’. The colony, unfortunately for them, is best known for having learned how to breed, grow, and eventually harvest bugs to use as food. Where other colonies would gag and turn their nose, the Colony of Fireflies grinned and took it as their own. Food is food, and they care little for where it comes from. Their most (in)famous dish, bugmeal, is ‘lovingly’ known as bugmush to the other colonies. Beetle breath, worm digger, and bug eater are just a few common names the colonies used for a Colony of Fireflies member.
Colony of Mist (Purple)
[Image ID: A black and white drawing of rocky terrain and a few trees. There is a cat walking in the foreground. In the background, there is a large rock formation that looks like a yowling cat. End ID]
Notable Traits: traditionalist, stubborn, tough, intelligent or wise. Heavily enforced the Sacred Decree, and was once known for their public execution of lawbreakers. Historians and archivists, they are largely responsible for the naming and documentation of important events.
Worships: the Lynx, god of life, anger, and individuality.
Worshipers of the Lynx, the Colony of Mist walked on the same mountains, hunted the same prey, and followed the laws of the deities to their word just as the lynxes of old once did. This way of living was far from perfect, however. The territory they owned was unforgiving and easy to get lost in, and their prey, goats, were dangerous foes. Members rarely reached retirement in the Colony of Mist, instead finding themselves falling off cliffs, starving in the endless maze of tunnels, or at the sharp end of a goat’s horn. Despite the risks, the colony prided itself in their way of life.
The colony was best known for its hunting of goats, the treacherous mountains they lived on, and their traditional views. However, they were also uniquely known as historians, drawing and writing history and events on the walls of their tunnels and maintaining it for future generations. The tunnels, called the history tunnels, were special to the colony, and they saw it as a sacred duty to observe and watch events go by and to document them on the walls to preserve them. The other colonies saw them as nosy, disruptive, or at worst, as spies, but eventually began to adopt the historical terms the colony coined and sometimes actively helped with the writing of the history tunnels.
Colony of Storm (Light Blue)
Notable Traits: charismatic, sly, excellent builders and traders, good swimmers. The majority of all colony tools are made by the Colony of Storm, and a decent number of lodgings as well. The only colony known to buy hired claws from the city.
Worships: the Otter, god of plants, craftsmanship, and healing.
Once built on a life of constant hunger, the Colony of Storm’s territory had not been kind to them. While fish are plentiful during the warm seasons, the water becomes frozen during the winter, protecting the fish from becoming the colony’s next meal. Breaking the ice didn’t help, either; one wrong move and you’d fall right into the frozen waters. To survive the harsh winters, the colony turned to trade. Their lodgings were already expertly made to prevent them from becoming damp and to survive against the wind and weather, and with hunger as their motivation, their crafting of tools was honed. Even as conditions improved the colony stuck to their crafting roots, boasting some of the most skilled and masterful crafts and tools which have survived generations of use.
The colony’s problems didn’t end with the trade, however. Relationships began to sour one fall, and the other colonies refused to trade their food to the colony. Desperate, they turned to the city for aid. Many cats there were willing to work in exchange for goods, and the colony decided to offer shelter and healing to them in exchange for help with hunting. The solution worked, and the deal remained for any city cat to take- either in the summer or winter, any city cat could join the Colony of Storm and help hunt for food in exchange for all the benefits of a normal colony cat, and leave during the opposing season if they so wished. These hired claws were looked down on by the other colonies though, with some going as far as to say the Colony of Storm was no longer a ‘true’ colony.

i wasn't gonna post anything but i wrote quite a lot today and need validation lmao (I think I might be about halfway done but who knows, it always gets away from me haha)
today some buckley siblings feels, and hopefully soon ill get to the fluffy christmas part haha
prev snippet
___
"(...) I used to make stuff for Maddie, and then when I was older I would save money to buy her something small and mostly symbolic.” he glances at Eddie. There’s a mix of bittersweet nostalgia and sadness on his face. “She made all my Christmases bearable, and after she left-” he stops abruptly and quietly clears his throat. When he speaks again, he doesn’t finish the sentence. Eddie wants to ask, but he figures Buck will share what he’s comfortable sharing, he doesn’t want to push. “But that was the one thing I wanted so badly, more than anything, more than any cool toys or- or anything,” he chuckles again, “and Maddie tried to give it to me, and she got in trouble for it. So after that, I just never asked again.”
“Buck.” Eddie says softly, wishing he could do anything to make it better, to fucking go back in time and give Buck all the Christmases he ever dreamt about.
“But I always wished-” Buck continues, then glances at Eddie nervously.
“Wished what?” Eddie’s thumb softly swipes along Buck’s neck and jawline, as far as he can reach. He just wants to comfort him somehow, and at the moment this is the only way he knows how, just a comforting touch, being there, listening.
“That one day, when I grew up,” Buck looks down at his lap again, his voice getting even quieter, “I’d have my own family and I’m gonna do matching Christmas sweaters every single year, and take tons of pictures of us all together, and-” he pauses again, and, with a teary laugh, raises his hand to wipe at his eyes. Eddie wants to wrap him in his arms and hold him. (...) “But it doesn’t matter, I don’t-” Buck shakes his head, and leans away from Eddie’s touch. Eddie aches to keep touching him, to reach out and follow, but he respects that clearly that’s not what Buck wants anymore, that’s fine. “I don’t have my own family yet, so it doesn't matter. Let’s just drop it.” he says, tone decisive, face red, eyes glued to the screen again.
Eddie frowns. What the hell is Buck talking about? He has a family, right here.

6 and 12 hehehe
Thanks for asking ☺️🩵 @potetosaradas and anon, I got two asks for 6 so hopefully it’s okay if I put them both here, also no one specified art or writing so I’ll give two of each I guess haha time to post before I regret 🫠
6. Show us a bit of a WIP!
Writing wips
The Nimbus fic lmao (1st, actually part of a two shot) and a small piece of one of the chapters in the multi-chapter fic I’m writing (2nd) apologies for any errors, I’m not finished editing either of these, they will likely change drastically on full edit too 💀 (half of my writing takes place in the editing phase lmao)
Art WIPs
Hahaha…I still have so much to correct and finish on these 💀please don’t perceive me
12. What's the funniest or craziest AU idea you've ever come up with?
tbh the bar is low bc I don’t make AUs often, sorry 🥲
Craziest as in convoluted or weirdest concept, probably the shattered time loop one, literally multiple time split versions of the same character interacting and having old Rick and young Prime interact and vice versa, it’s a lot of fun to think about the conflicts and grievances.
Craziest as in toxic spiral, probably the vampire AU, I adore some of the scenes I’ve plotted for it like Prime purposefully biting Rick while making out with him and Rick doesn’t know about the infection. Or Rick finding Prime feeding on Diane and him forcing Rick to drink some of her blood via a kiss…or Rick getting gradually more ill from the infection and needing to feed/him feeding on Prime and being so, so desperate, enjoying it while hating it at the same time 🫠 how sweet it would taste etc after starving himself and Prime letting him, bc he’s the one who infected Rick in the first place and now has him exactly where he wants him 🫠 so much fun to think about. I’m always on the border of actually fully fleshing it out into an actual AU, idk…
Funniest? Idk I don’t really come up with many AUs rn tbh but I do love thinking of ways in which old Prime and Rick would interact if they couldn’t rip out each others throats/had to work together. Those are always funny to think about and write little drabbles for (that will never see the light of day).
Thanks again for asking 🩵
#hexed rambles#ask game#wips#long post#if I get any more for 6 I’ll just post other wips I guess#please specify art or writing though 🥲

For the WIP game I'd love to hear about your post s2 scenario and the Binding of Loki! 👀💖
Thanks for the ask, bestie. 😘
Post S2 will see Mobius realise he never got a chance to properly talk ~~and kiss~~ Loki. And while he doesn't want to change the past, he does want to grab some of Loki's time. But it's not going to be easy.
I posted the opening snippet for Post S2 last week. Here's a following bit.
The mud squelched as Mobius stepped out into the little lane in Chicago, 1893.
It was dark, as it had been when he and Loki had run through the streets looking for Victor. That moment felt like an eternity away, and despite his attempts to distract them both from the mission with various treats from the era, they hadn’t had time to talk.
He had been building up to taking Loki on a hot air balloon, giving them the space to breathe.
They never had a chance, not really.
His past self was too busy numbing and ignoring what was happening around him. It was just too horrific to look at his life, to know his existence at the TVA was a lie.
Now, he knew different.
He looked up the lane, recognising the whir of a bicycle passing.
It won’t be long now until his past self and Loki separate, chasing after the man they needed to open the blast doors.
The folly of it should make Mobius laugh.
Instead, he walked a little down the lane until he found a small alcove. It was almost pitch black in this space, but he closed his eyes and listened.
Loki was fast. They could run like the wind. He had to make this count.
His heart pounded in his chest, distracting him. His palms were sweaty.
There was a distant sound of feet scuffling as Victor and Ravonna started running.
In his mind, Mobius saw his past self run one way, and Loki coming down this very lane he was standing in.
He took a deep breath and braced himself.
One, two…
Mobius stepped out, his fingers brushing over Loki's jacket. It tingled and scratched at his calloused fingertips, and he stared at them for a second, before sighing at the disappearing figure.
He'd held back too long. He needed to go back earlier.
The Binding of Loki is a kind of fix it. I'm a mythology nerd, so I thought of an alternative timeline Mobius/Don getting caught up in a storm in Norway and discovering Loki bound in a cave.
Because he is essentially a Sigyn variant in my head, Mobius will stop the poison dripping down onto Loki, and will cut them loose. Loki will slide off the rock to the ground and Mobius will light a fire and they'll cuddle for warmth.
Then, there be some revelations, Loki talking about how this Mobius looks so like him. Mobius asks where the other him is, and Loki listens and says: "Only a few timelines over."
Mobius continues to care for Loki, convinced Loki might leave him here but he can't do anything else. The god is ill.
But after 24 hours, maybe longer, Loki is strong enough and teleports them both back to where Mobius was staying.
There's a handshake that turns into a hug, and finishes with alt-Mobius telling Loki to go get Mobius.
Then, Loki disappears, and Mobius sighs.
But we switch to Loki’s POV, appearing beside Mobius after he says, "Let time pass."
"With me?" Loki will ask.
And then they start living a life together
I have no snippet for this one yet but hopefully the idea is interesting.

WIP Process: Old Bones, Old Souls (finished!)
you can find the finished piece linked here!!
Hi everyone!! I hope you’re all doing well!! I wanted to say thank you so much for sticking around!! I appreciate y’all so much!!! here’s a time lapse of sketch page I’ve been working on for.. a while haha. It’s adjacent to the last piece I did, so I’ve felt a bit more motivated to finish it so the pencil lines don’t smudge the other piece.
A little life update as well, I’ve been having a flare up of a chronic illness of mine for a while now. Between that and school, It’s been difficult to find free time. I recently got answers, and while it’s not the best news in the world, it’s a concrete diagnosis that I’m getting better treatment for now, and it’s manageable. I’m definitely bummed, I feel like the past ~8 months something health wise has gotten in the way of making art and doing things, but hopefully I’ll catch a break soon and get back to drawing more!!
[VD: an open sketchbook on a wooden desk filling most of the frame. There are several sketches, from left to right, a velociraptor skull, gingko leaves, a velociraptor claw, and a feathered velociraptor. a hand holding a pen is on the left side of the sketches, and draws over the skull sketch at 2x speed. in the top right corner there is text saying: “gentle reminder to take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, and take a moment for yourself :)” Clip 2 rotated the sketchbook clockwise slightly, the text disappears, and more of the line work is done at 2x speed. Clip 3 is at the same rotation and at 2x speed. this time, the majority of the line art is done and the hand now holds a sepia toned pen, applying stippling and line shading. Clip 4 is at 2x speed, and applied more shading to the teeth. Clip 5 is at normal speed, and the hand applies some finishing touches before mostly exiting the frame. when it does exit, another text window appears below the skull with an emoticon reading: “^-^” /end VD]

WIP Wednesday + Last Line Paragraph
Tagged by @direwombat @g0dspeeed @inafieldofdaisies and @josephseedismyfather
Tagging @socially-awkward-skeleton @cassietrn @chazz-anova @adelaidedrubman @wrathfulrook @shallow-gravy @strangefable @voidika @poisonedtruth @derelictheretic @detectivelokis @josephslittledeputy @vampireninjabunnies-blog @snake-in-the-garden @strafethesesinners @a-rose-in-a-garden-of-weeds @henbased @ladyofedens-blog @little-wolf-seed and @deputy-morgan-malone + anyone else who wishes to join and share.
Here's a WIP of Silva's Hope. And we got some Mary May! This isn't my most polished work so the final result will be a bit different once it's published. WIP below:
Mary May raised a brow at Nadi, regarding the smaller blonde with puzzlement. She finished polishing the glassware, placing it onto the counter with a soft clink.
Setting both arms firmly on the bar, Nadi's brown eyes had to endure the intensity of the barkeep's light blue. She noticed the skepticism, how the Fairgrave woman was running her words through her head, tearing them apart.
However, Nadi didn't waver from her poker face, and maintained the clueless Fall's End overseas nouvelle venue act. Masking emotions was a quality she learnt from Jacob, and later John had given her a few tips on how to hide intentions to get information better.
A pause was heavy between the two, until Mary May finally responded, but with her own question, "Now why do you want to know about a dead girl?"
Nadi smoothed a hand over to her small braid, playing with it as she answered, "Well, like I said, I've been learning so much about Fall's End for a few weeks now... to get a clearer picture on everything that goes about here, you know? But I can't seem to get a straight answer on this Omar girl. She seemed to have a... mixed reputation, non?"
Much to Nadi's delight, Mary May snorted as she shook her head, reaching under her counter to grab a beer bottle.
"Understatement of the century," the barkeeper mumbled, eyes easing the intensity in her eyes. Cagnotte, Nadi proudly thought to herself as Mary May's lips parted to answer.
“Now, so you know, my word isn’t exactly a picture perfect replication of who Elsa Omar was," Mary May stated, opening the bottle and pouring it into a glass for a patron, "Neither does anyone else in Fall's End. We only ever saw one or two sides of her, and that was what she wanted us to see. The closest you’re going to get to an accurate description of her would be from her older sister, but even then, I'd assume her account on her little sister wouldn't be anything but with rose-tinted glasses. What sister wouldn't think their sibling was anything more than the person they grew up with?"
Mary May held a distant look that Nadi pretended to not notice as she thought on her words. The short-haired blond couldn't help but agree with the sentiment. As an older sibling herself, she knew exactly what it was like to view those younger and older than herself in a different light than everybody else. Even when she probably shouldn't have. I'll need Sister Nancy to tell me more about this older sister of Elsa's. Hopefully she's managed to achieve her assignment by now.
"Now with that said,” Mary May paused, tapping her fingers against the wooden counter, “Elsa Omar was a performer, a tricky one at that. I believed her about her fragile bones. Defended her even. Because who would lie about something like that? Probably helped her case that there were times we heard of her getting what should have been very minor scrapes for anyone else but serious injuries for her. Multiple trips to the clinic wasn't unusual for that girl. Felt bad for her, as did everyone else. We were also in awe by her spirit, in spite of the disadvantage she had. I know I was."
Seeing that she still had Nadi's attention, Mary May continued, "I never like to speak ill of the dead. It just... never feels rights when the person isn't around to hear it themselves. But I gotta say, Elsa was, and will always be, one of the most confusing people I have ever met."
Nadi tilted her head, shuffling her stool seat closer to the counter, "How so?"
Mary May huffed, shaking her head with pursed lips and furrowed brows as she spoke, "I just never got her deal. She had a successful business. A family member close by. And got lucky with men and women alike. I honestly thought she was plenty decent until she continued to run her mouth around me. She could be really nice to you. She could be really good to you. She could have even made you believe she was your best friend. Or she could be a self-absorbed, rude shit with an ego that puts John Seed and Guy Marvel to shame. Never hated her, but didn't exactly like her either. Most people though either had one opinion or the other about her, both good and bad. As I said, she was tricky. And quite the actor. I could never tell which facade was her true self. If either was the "real her" anyways. She didn't cause unnecessary problems, or try to get my business shut down, which made me a little lenient to tolerate her. Her sister always got a free pass from me because she didn't bother anyone. Or she was too shy to. Though I chalked it up as someone who didn't have a good handle on their English yet. Never liked making conversation, always keeping things short. Not Elsa though, she talked like it was her way of breathing."
Nadi clasped her hands together and rested her chin on top, supported by her elbows on the bar counter, as she continued to listen to the sinner speak her mind. While the business she owned enabled others to indulge in their vices, Nadi couldn't help but be enraptured by Mary May's words. She could see why John had a small infatuation with the barkeeper. She had an aura of a person who was capable of taking care of herself, a reliable ally who could pull her own weight and someone who was tough. Someone who wouldn't go down that easily. All were admirable traits, and useful too. Not to mention, she was pleasing on the eyes.
Nadi felt disappointed that the other blonde let her Pride vehemently dictate her decisions, rejecting the Father's truth. John's chances to give salvation. Would've loved to see her walking around in Chosen attire, came the intrusive thought.
The image of a beauté like Mary May dressed as a Chosen, just like Nadi's fellow brothers and sisters back at the Veteran's Centre, darkened Nadi's cheeks, and her want for someone's touch return.
Shaking her head, Nadi shooed those tempting thoughts away. Restrain your LUST, Sinclair, a voice, either her own or John's, chided, You already need to resist charming your boss, don't push yourself further into sin by leading others or yourself down that path... again.
"Hey, you alright?" Mary May's voice cut through Nadi's thoughts.
Nadi blinked, and put on a smile before gesturing towards Mary May, "Oui. Got lost in thoughts. Please, continue."
And here is the last lines for La Última En Pie. Nightmare sequences are difficult to write (also trigger warning for child abuse, nightmares of implied child murder and, uh, creepiness):
“No matter where you hide. No matter how far you run. No matter which sinners you choose to sully what little virtue you have with,” Father told her, his grip getting tighter, constricting her breath, “You. Will always. Be. Mine."
Sylvester clawed at his arm, his wrist, his hand. Choking on screams he kept silent. "This isn't supposed to be happening," she wanted to say, so desperately, "This wasn't how this went." Her wide grey eyes stared into the unbothered gaze of whom she shared the colour with. Father drew her face closer to his, as he whispered his promise, "And we will be together in my Garden. My paradise. No matter which form I mold you in."

this is an unfinished artwork from april 2022, wanted to redraw an old artwork with this color palette because there was that batdr screenshot with a fancy table with food and chairs and i just like this concept
however im having the biggest artblock of my life and this proved to be very challenging as first of all i do not like redrawing my art really and second ive been too busy back then to give it the proper amount of time, rushing myself and not liking results, third of all my mental state has been awful ive recently started medication and am in the process of diagnosing myself but mental illness makes handling art block all the worse
i have a couple of wips in my art folder that id like to finish and make better like this one, but i think they are finally just dragging me down as i get new fresh ideas for things so perhaps it will be better if i just let it go
sorry if im oversharing but i just like being open i guess
hopefully ill show up soon with some new art :) i love art, it means to me a lot

hi lovey how are you <3
it's late—like,,,4am late—and im somehow spewing out actual sentences BUT i have a question and i've been debating on how to start this whole thing so ill just say fuck it n get it out there—how do you keep up with all your wips??? bc like,,,,i've started writing, and i LOVE it. it's so fun to have these ideas finally out in word format instead of just stuck in my head.
but i have a really bad habit of starting smth n then...moving on to smth else when inspiration strikes. i occasionally go back to what i was originally writing, but even then it doesn't last long before im starting a whole new story 😭 im a little peeved as i've completely abandoned this one writing i slaved away at for days abt the backstory of one of my ocs—im somewhat proud of it n i don't want to just not get back into it.
as i write this, im currently staring at my laptop as i churn out yet another story of said oc (along with multiple other ocs myself n a friend made together) n im just,,,perplexed?? i suppose, on how so many fic writers keep up with all their wips.
i realize now that im just droning on n on so ill end here. writing is a bitch but also feels me with accomplishment when i do end up finishing smth, so i was just curious as to how you work around wips n things like that.
hello darling, i'm okay!! kinda dreading today's shift, but it is what it is. how are u tho??
and to be honest with u, i don't keep up with my wips like . at all . i do try to maintain some order, and sometimes i forbid myself from working on a story in favour of focusing on another one, but it doesn't always work, and there are times in which i really want to work on a fic even tho it's not a priority or supposed to be posted any time soon. but still, i try not to beat myself up over it, bc fanfiction is a hobby and something that i do for fun!! it shouldn't feel like a chore, so even if i do want to keep a schedule or alternate between wips so i can have some resemblance of balance, it's not really necessary, or even possible, considering the amount of wips i have lmao. it's our work and our writing, we're free to never finish anything if we don't want to, or to write 13847872648 fics at the same time, or to write only one for the rest of our lives. there are no rules or a right way to go about it yk??? i totally get the need to . focus on just one project, or at least be able to finish something, anything, but it'll happen at some point, i promise, and u should never force yourself, especially when it comes to an activity u do bc u love it and enjoy it
it's different if we talk about original fiction or original characters.. at least in my case!! i didn't get into writing fanfic until a few years ago, but i've been writing original stories since i can remember!! in fact there's this one i'm very slowly making progress with, that i came up with back when i was 17, and that i really want to . finish someday and hopefully try and publish it. for me, and when i'm really passionate about a project, like with this one, i do . force myself to not write anything else . it's inevitable to get new ideas, so i write them down, i make pinterest boards and even outlines, and occassionally, i also start them, write a lil of them when i need a break or to scratch the itch. but otherwise i just . do my best to stick to the one that i really love and i'm the proudest of. i do tend to hyperfixate and obsess a lot, so it's not THAT hard for me, bc even if i do get distracted sometimes, i always come back to this story. especially since i've been working on it for almost 5 years now, and i know it like the back of my hand. i could write three prequels and four sequels lol
so really, i don't think there's a right or wrong way to go about this. one of my best friends, and a writer i quite admire, jumps from a wip to another all the time, and also struggles to finish a story, but she just . trusts the process . lets herself have fun and write whatever she wants every day . it's been a while since she last finished something but she isn't too worried yk?? she enjoys what she does, and what matters is that she keeps writing. every person is different, and the way they approach writing is, too!!
my advice is to try and find out what works best for u and to stop beating yourself up over something that might be out of ur control. if u have this one story that's really important to u and that u really wanna finish, then maybe ur gonna have to practise some self-discipline, and force yourself a little, forbid yourself from getting distracted with these other shiny new ideas. but if doing that ruins the whole thing for u and sucks the fun out of writing then . take it one day at a time, focus on something different each day, and start 4 stories in the same week. it doesn't matter babe!! writing is an art, there's not a correct way to do it!!
#sorry if this wasn't very helpful i'm never the best person to ask about writing..#but i'm wishing u the best <333#and i'm sure all ur stories are lovely#regardless of you finishing them or not#sending u a big hug#asks#s tag#on writing

mindless ramblings
Sometimes when I'm writing I question if anyone would ever be interested in an original work of mine. If I ever got the courage and the motivation to finish my WIPs and went through the exasperating task of publishing a book, would anyone care enough to buy it? Or does my writing prowess only go as far as to imagine different lives for characters I've loved?
I never thought I would love writing this much, much less that I would ever want to share what the inside of my brain sounds like to hundreds of people. But I do. I put a small piece of me into everything I create, and maybe that's why it's so scary.
Every time someone tells me that they love what I do or that they are obsessed with one of my fanfictions, my heart flutters hard against my chest and it makes me believe that I could have people out there running to get my books. But there's that small part of me that feels that my writing cannot go farther than these pages and I'll never be able to live off of the world that lives inside of my mind.
Sure, there are stories that have started as fanfictions and traveled on to become multi-million dollar worthy franchises, but I don't know if that would ever happen to me. Although maybe with Speak I could, since it seems to be my most successful story. The problem is, is that enough? Am I possibly just a one-hit-wonder and this is the best I can do? Especially being mentally and chronically ill, it seems like a desperate attempt to hold onto the idea that I can be useful and worth something. That maybe I can't work a normal job but I am able to give people a way to unwind from their own realities with some words on a page.
I guess I'm just hoping that one day my name will be in bookshelves, and that people will speak of my works as their favorites. That when a friend asks for book recommendation my name pops up in their head. That someday a person finds comforts in the depths of my imagination and they can get lost in the worlds that make up my brain. Maybe. Hopefully. One day.

dfo fic recs <3
said this was gonna be an owl house blog. i lied. whoops.. have some dad for one fic recs. all under the cut!
hero’s shadow - feelingstabby
teen and up, gen, creator chose not to use archive warnings
incomplete, 55/100 chapters, 481,829 words (yes, the author has stated that they are actually aiming for 100 chapters)
summary:
Izuku doesn’t cry. He is a weapon, and weapons don’t weep.
He won’t cry until the battle, when he’s falling through the air, when it settles in just how real it is that he’s going to die, because yeah, the doctor warned him this would happen, but there’s always been a part of Izuku that thought he’d live forever.
Just like his father told him.
Or, how a few heroes help Midoriya Izuku become something more than a lost vigilante.
yes, vigilante izuku with plenty of trauma. and dadzawa and dadmic. and mistakes made on several people’s parts, because they are all human. i love it..sm. as of writing this post, i’m on chapter 39, so over halfway through. however, i have a feeling something is coming up. we’ll see :)
Ill-Gotten Gains - ghostmaybite
mature, gen + m/m, archive warnings do not apply/creator chose not to use archive warnings
incomplete, 36/? chapters, 225,740 words
summary:
When his father and Tomura start planning the USJ attack, Izuku makes a plan of his own. It’s simple, only four steps:
1. Steal Eraserhead’s quirk
2. Use it to kill All for One
3. Give Erasure back, hopefully
4. Go to jail, probably
He’s prepared for the plan to fail at any time, but surprisingly, it’s not until step 4 that things fall through.
FANTASTIC dad for one fic. honestly amazing. i love it. so much. ALSO!! izuku has afo! as in the quirk! or a version of it! it is so...akjsndfhjgjhgnad!! it is FULL of angst! (and the stain arc is coming up...excited.) everyone is becoming a train. now that i’ve said something you won’t understand without context, you’ve gotta read the fic. go on. do it.
the face of the future, the blood in my veins - intheeveningsunrise
mature, gen, creator chose not to use archive warnings
complete, wip sequel/recovery fic. 27 chapters, 218,513 words
summary:
“My name is Midoriya Izuku,” he says in a hushed voice. “I’m from Musutafu. Born and raised here.”
Mikumo blinks at him. “That supposed to mean something?”
“I don’t know!” Izuku throws his palms up in surrender, huffing. “What else am I supposed to say?”
“Look, I don’t have time for this. Just tell me why you stole my face, so I can kill you.”
“Uh… this isn’t your face. This is my face. I was born with it.”
“You are so, so close to getting stabbed.”
or, Izuku runs into his twin at the USJ - and then proceeds to run into him seemingly everywhere he goes.
With every meeting, the two begin to uncover a deep web of lies that has been suffocating them both ever since they were children. All the while, Izuku tries desperately to pull Mikumo out of the grasp of their father - All For One.
ahahHAHA YES I LOVE THIS FIC...still have to finish it. i plan on doing it very soon. maybe even after posting this. we’ll see. it is AMAZING..and also adds mikumo into the mix :) it’s REALLY interesting, but def deals with heavy themes- which is honestly kinda just..in the territory when it comes to dfo fics. but yeah. read the tags, which you should do for every fic you read but yk
A Stranger's Smile, a Traitor's Guile - JoWithTheFlo
mature, gen, graphic depictions of violence
incomplete, 9/? chapters, 35,185 words
summary:
“Do you ever get tired of it?” Touya asked. “Eating shit food out of dumpsters and bathing in public bathrooms?”
“I do,” Izuku answered, honestly. “But I’m free this way.”
“What if you could be free and have a roof over your head too?”
Izuku gave him an amused look. “I can’t. I’m eight years old and, technically, don’t exist. It’s not as if I could get a job to pay rent.”
“I could though,” Touya said, voice oddly strained as he made the offer. “If you wanted. To live like that, instead.”
---
Wherein Izuku has All for One, uses it to help whoever he can, and stumbles across a family along the way.
i LOVE THIS FIC. touya/dabi and izuku bonding has always been something i’ve enjoyed and looked for, and this one having dfo and izuku w/ the afo quirk?? checks off SO MANY BOXES. seriously, give it a read. you’ll probably enjoy it.
sitting in my hand is the sand of a shattered hourglass - zel_over_on_the_beach
mature, gen, creator chose not to use archive warnings
oneshot (part of a series, though! there is an incomplete prequel fic), 12,254 words
summary:
I am here! I am here!
Izuku keeps waking up on the day villains attack the training camp, and the only way he can think of to end the loop is to keep everyone else safe. Too bad he keeps failing at that.
It's a time loop fic, okay?
TIME LOOP FIC. YEAH. its so...alkdsfjsdfkasbdfksa. read the tags, of course. shit goes down with muscular..quite a few times, really. it’s just. MMMMM SO GOOD. definitely give it a read if you enjoy time loop fics. or even if you don’t, give it a chance. it’s fantastic.
Pull him under - SorrowSeye
teen and up, gen, no archive warnings apply
oneshot, 9,875 words
summary:
All the stress of recent events is enough to turn Izuku's hair white. In fact, it does just that; when his hair loses all color overnight, Izuku ends up looking incredibly similar to someone he would never want ties to.
Nothing can hold you down quite like family.
ONE OF THE FIRST (if not the first) DFO FICS I READ. it is SO GOOD. definitely, DEFINITELY, check it out. all might is there, as is the rest of class 1-a..such a good fic. i’ll be giving it a reread soon, that’s for sure.
Words as Weapons - NearoRiver
teen and up, gen, no archive warnings apply
incomplete, 33/38 chapters, 109,275 words
summary:
When Midoriya Inko dies in childbirth, Midoriya Hisashi—better known as All for One—decides to raise his son Izuku by himself... without ever telling Izuku he’s Japan’s worst supervillain.
While navigating his father’s high expectations, insidious emotional abuse, and overpowering quirk, Izuku fights to become a hero.
- - -
Old summary:
Midoriya Hisashi is All for One.
Midoriya Izuku is going to become a hero.
who would i be if i DIDN’T add this fic?? it is SO GOOD. I LOVE IT. seriously, read it. after reading the tags, of course. the way afo is written in this fic is..so good. utterly terrifying and disgusting but SO GOOD. SO WELL DONE. it’s just. adskjnfajklsdnfkjasdfba. AND THE TRAINIGN CAMP ARC IS COMING UP...like it is starting SOON. i am EXCITED.
-
well, i think that’s it for now. feel free to ask for any mha fic recs (or toh, but tbh most of what i read there is. hunter-centric. and it’s a tad difficult for me to read fics w/o him being a major part..which kinda sucks cus i’m sure there’s many wonderful fics i’m missing out on bc of it.)
if any of the links are wrong or broken or whatever, please let me know so i can fix em (or try to, at least. whether i succeed is another matter entirely.)
#bnha#mha#fic recs#reclist#[.grims recs]#yeah thats gonna be my fic rec tag cus why not#dad for one#midoriya izuku#izuku midoriya#all for one#midoriya hisashi#uhhhh#i think thats it??#tell me if i should add any more tags cus i will gladly do so#oh yeah#bnha fic recs#mha fic recs#dfo fic recs#there

WiP
I'm sure you've all noticed it's been awhile since I posted much of anything. Ever since my family and I were sick over Christmas and the week before and two after, I've just had no get up and go. I start things and leave them sitting half done. The sets I posted this month were mostly half finished projects from last year.
My irl projects are getting the same treatment. I just get distracted at almost everything. And I'm sick of feeling like this. Might be the winter blues, but this lack of productivity started when I was ill.
My Wallpaper of the Week sets are parked in "Walls" in Homecrafter waiting their turn at getting finished. I have some done but never made swatches or previews.
So, coming soon are:
More wallpaper and floors.
4to2 Soloriya sets. Quite a few are part done over here.
4to2 13Pumpkin's latest sets - cute desk set and her new dining set. One is almost done. Haven't decided whether or not to make the desk as the mesh is with the two shelves above it as one mesh or separate into a desk and one shelf. I just see visions of me breaking the mesh repeatedly trying to put slots on the shelf. Maybe a omsp a the two heights. Any feedback on that is helpful.
More deco sims. Around a dozen sets by REIGNINGSIMS. a family in the park set that someone requested, (found a rug mesh that would work great for the blanket on the ground, too), neutral props deco sims set 2.
Some military funeral stuff that I started making for last July's theme at GoS about the 70's. Made a military coffin, folded flag, flag to put over the coffin and portraits for an easel,
Surprises for you all for an upcoming HellHasSpoken event.
Valentine's goodies. Just little things mostly.
There may or may not be templates ready for bodyshop. Can't remember.
I'm just slow as molasses these days, hopefully this slump in life will end soon and I can finish my irl and sims projects more readily.

Small update on writing projects and other things so I can gather my thoughts and also hopefully feel more organized. Mostly about Symphonia, with small mentions of Adventure Time, Deltarune, Elden Ring and Dragonlance (tell me if you know this book series plz)
Still working on my Lloyd and Mithos fic which I shared a wip of here. It's slow going because it's going to involve some decent amount of dialogue and my brain is too ADHD right now for it. Thank you for those who shared interest in it! I want to finish this god help me.
Want to update my Wolf Bite fic (which is werewolf!Lloyd and Colette as Red Riding Hood) for this Halloween. I've started a chapter to continue the verse and also werewolf Lloyd is too cute. Plz look at this art by @frayed-symphony for my previous chapters that I still go crazy over.
I also want to write something for one of those October prompt events. There's a lot of them! Let me! Choose! One! I just want to make one, preferable spicy.
Speaking of October prompts, I still have this Colette time loop fic made for whumptober last year that I never finished, which was using all 31 prompts. I got over halfway! Then things happened. They always happen. 😔 I want to get to the happy ending already.
Finished Adventure Time with Sky, and now I am obsessed with a mentally-ill lemon guy. Can I write him?? Is there a point to write him?? But I also finished Fionna and Cake and now I have a small idea with the genderswap versions of him and Lumpy Space Princess (new ship). Might try it soon. And yes I will be reblogging a lot of art for this show, let me ride it out.
I am still thinking about that Deltarune Spamton fic I started like two years ago. I did have a plot but again, life happened. I'd need to reread it too. You'd think I had a problem with finishing multichapters!! Haha. 🥲 But I was able to finish my last multichapter fic so I can do it! Just gotta be lucky. I also had another short story idea with him and Jevil, and the main three. Maybe I can get to it when Deltarune finally gets chapter 3 in about five years from now lol.
The Elden Ring zine I was in finally arrived for me! It's cool seeing my fic in print 😭 I'll share later on but it's been fun being on these zine projects lately. My fic was about the Omen brothers because I have a thing for twins apparently.
Not fic but there is a new Dragonlance book by the Weis and Hickman duo?? After nearly a decade?? I saw the ebook for it on sale and immediately picked it up. This series was my gateway into writing so it does feel nostalgic to go back to this world. Only one chapter read so far (with whole new characters this time) but W&H have a knack for being really engaging in their writing. Even for their past stories when I didn't care for a plot, I still tend to finish their books.
Oh yeah, I'm also on bluesky. I use it sometimes maybe.
#shrimpy rambles#text#just wanted to get everything down so maybe i can actually focus#also I still have some fics I need to catch up on#my kindle is loaded with them lol#mine#writing

🥮 🍘 🍙 (also ur great thank u for ur time)
Omg anon thank you so much for responding!! And omg you're the sweetest!! You're great too anon!! I bet you're amazing and wonderful!! <33
🥮 Do you have any writing milestones you're working toward?
Ooh this is such a great question!! When I first started writing fanfiction for this blog, my goal was to post one fic a week. I've definitely slacked on that, especially since I got discouraged a while ago and haven't written in a hot minute (i'm so sorry guys!!). But one of my goals is to hopefully get back to that! I'm going to attempt to ease back into that so I don't burn myself out, but watch me post like 5 billion fics over spring break lmao
One of my other goals, I suppose this is more short term, is to hopefully post a fic for each of the boys I haven't written for once I finish the requests in my inbox! I'm hoping maybe this will make things more interesting for you guys, or maybe encourage a bit more interaction? Not to sound like an attention whore but highkey I LOVE talking to you guys cos you're all awesome!! So I'm really hoping if I add more variety to my content, you guys will enjoy it more and maybe feel more comfortable saying stuff!
🍘 Is there a fic or idea for a fic that you've abandoned?
Yeah definitely!! I wouldn't say they're abandoned necessarily because I do intend to go back and finish all of them at some point, but currently I have like 3 Ariel fics in my WIP folder where I kinda wrote myself into a corner and I abandoned them because I didn't know how to keep the story going haha. I also have one for Jamie and a chronically ill reader which I wrote before Lying in Laundry, but at the time I thought it was a little awkwardly written so I ended up scrapping it and writing that fic instead. After re-reading it honestly I think it's not that bad and I kinda wanna post it, but I probably need to change some bits I ended up using in Lying in Laundry so they're more different!
As for fic ideas, probably the only one that comes to mind is one on my ideas list about the Reader sending Jamie articles about having a massive dick (lmao hear me out before you judge me!!). That idea was born from seeing articles that literally had titles like "my dick is too big and it ruined my life". There's also a tv special on Channel 4 called "my massive cock" and it's about guys who have dicks that are too big and it causes problems like finding a job and that kind of stuff (i actually haven't watched it, but tbh i probably will to get inspo for this fic lmao).
I still really wanna write something for it because I think it'd be hilarious, but I probably need to think of a bit more substance/a scenario to add to it because as it stands right now it'd probably be a super short fic if I wrote it haha. Also in the Baynton Babes server we always talk about how Jamie has the biggest dick so it seems really fitting for him :p
🍙 Is there a fic you wish had gotten more attention?
I answered this one here! But I would say the fic in the #2 spot is probably Lying in Laundry.
I assume it could be because that fic was too similar to some of the other Jamie fics I've written. I mentioned this in the other post answering these questions but I do try to re-read my fics to avoid this. I think when I was writing this one and re-reading the others I was worried it was too similar/boring, so that's probably part of why it didn't do so great haha
Also I think it probably didn't get that much attention because mentioning "chronically ill reader" in the title probably turned some people off haha. I knew that would probably happen even before I posted it, but I did try to make the reader's chronic illness not a major focal point (i think it's mentioned like once and that's it haha) so it would still be relatable to those without one so it lowkey hurt my feelings lmao </3
But I'm chronically ill and I know there's a few other people in this fandom who are as well, so even if they don't get as much attention as my other fics I will probably still post chronically ill reader fics every now and then because it's important to me for the chronic illness gang to get some representation, even if it's just on my little baby corner of the internet :p
Thank you again for your questions anon!! I appreciate you!! <3
#ask game#anon <3#i have so many thoughts for ariel x chronically ill reader :p#but since he's like lowkey my husband im probs biased lmaoo#anyways tysm for the questions anon!!#these are so fun! i love doing them!! <3
