I think sometimes you just have to make peace with the fact that your actual hobby is collecting books. And that that's okay.

Tumblr media
(The meme is not by me.)
If you fancy learning more about me and my writing, feel free to venture below the cut.
KindListener/ArcaneChariot are the main usernames I go by on Tumblr/AO3/X/etc.
I write for many, many, many pairings, such as; Borsalino/Taro Midori (OC), Cap Hatfield/Theodore Stanhope (OC), Don Pierce/Kurt Ackerman (OC), Dorian Grey/Basil Hallward, Eli Klaber/Stephan Wolff (OC), Shang Tsung/Liu Kang, The Corinthian/Alistair Moreau (OC), Viktor Vector/V as well as a whole bunch of /Reader stuff and that's just scratching the surface! Recently, I've been writing Henry Christmas/FTM!Reader/George Moody, Herbie (Gypsy)/M!Reader, Nicky Frazer/M!Reader, Tristan Farnon/Gordon Abram (OC) and other pairings involving Petey characters.
Honestly, I don't read all that much that isn't my work because I'm usually writing, studying or planning to write.
I've always been a writer, even back before I was on the internet, back in the olden days. 👴🏻👴🏻 I once made a TA cry after I unknowingly wrote a gorefic when I was 11. I still feel bad about that...
The first fic I wrote and posted was actually a gift for my brother. It was a Dorian Grey fic because we were both into the movie at the time.
My favourite fic is difficult. I've written a lot that I'm very proud of, such as this Don Pierce fic, this Miracle Guy fic (don't knock it til you try it) and my most recent Trissy fic. But, honestly, I take pride in my art and I try to give people the best content possible.
I couldn't really say which one has been my hardest fic. Honestly, I just kind of give the fic a starting point and some themes/plot-beats and then I let it run it's course. The hardest, I suppose, might be 'The Angel and the Preacher' because it made me question my own spirituality and morality which was quite intense.
Hmm... Research... Honestly probably either 'Safe Haven' or 'The Angel and the Preacher' because you may not realise it but there's a lot to giving birth/being a priest who struggles with his faith/etc. I remember watching so many videos on labour and giving birth and just frantically writing down notes. Still, they were interesting fics to write.
Honestly, the fics most near and dear to my heart tend to be ones I work on with friends; whether that be RPs (like I've done with @the-broken-quill and Lu) or fics that have had art drawn in tandem (like 'The Angel and the Preacher' with @bludpudding's beautiful, beautiful stained glass artwork). I really like sharing my hyperfixes with my friends and making art together. 💛💛
My favourite trope (if you could call it that) would probably be writing trans/intersex characters, usually FTM. As a FTM person myself, I can write from the perspective of a trans person (of course, not all experiences are the same but I tell it from my perspective) and I enjoy getting to get those thoughts and feelings down on paper because it's definitely not represented enough in the fanfic community. However, if we're talking about kinks and things that tend to come up in my work, it'd probably be giving oral or face-fucking or like a daddy kink or something. ISAOJVISAJVVUSDJ
This is detailed on my Caard but I don't write straight, necro, rape, scat or underage content (even though I've been asked to write these previously). F/M content; I don't write straight stuff because I can't really relate to straight people RIP. Necro; I feel it's disrespectful. Underage; just no. Scat; is gross (sorry, scat fans). And rape/SA; I have personal experience with so I don't enjoy sexualising/glorifying it. I have written rape recovery stories, like with this Campion fic, but otherwise I can't stand it.
I couldn't tell you about my favourite scene but I do enjoy the scene in this fic where the Second Corinthian returns to the grave of one of his victims and is approached by the victim's brother. It's a scene about redemption and it was really nice, expanding on the Souvenirs comic like that.
I get my inspiration from many different places. Sometimes it just kind of pops in your head and you're suddenly planning out dialogue for a specific scene and sometimes it's just little scenes like this (where Tris is pretending to be a dog and, of course, I get thinking about pet play)...
The hardest scene I ever wrote... It may be the beginning of this fic, where Devon (my OC) gets the idea to pick up a homeless person and dress them up for a gala they're going to, in order to keep themselves from being forced out of their rich family. It's difficult juggling the struggles of not being accepted by your family, disability and homelessness. Of course, none of them are equal and all are horrible issues to have but trying to keep the main character sympathetic in such a situation is definitely difficult.
My favourite characterisation might be in 'Safe Haven'. Seeing Don Pierce go from being this rough, tough mercenary to the caring father of twins was definitely a journey that I had to go on with him.
God, I want to write continuations to so many fics. The first choice would be writing a continuation to 'The Angel and the Preacher', which is in the works but it's a very emotion-heavy work so it requires absolute concentration and I'd be scared of it not being as good as the first chapter. Possibly a sequel to this fic but, again, I'd be scared of it not being as good as the first part.
This is all my OC work ever. Because OCs take a lot of getting used to and a lot of characterisation and a lot of lore-building, I feel like a lot of readers just want something they can pick up and instantly know what's going on. But I'm also guilty of being lazy and not wanting to do all the world-building and character design and lore so I'm just as bad. But, whenever I post a Character/OC work, I'm always scared that my views will go down and that's definitely reflected in my stats. Still, when I do write for my OCs, I really enjoy it.
"Mmmnn... You're not a shark, you're a puppy, but I can work with that. I'll make you the cruelest, most devious mutt at the firm... Soon enough, you'll be able to rip your colleagues apart and you'll thank me for it. Isn't that what you want?" (from an unposted Callahan WIP.)
'WOW that was amazing! the story, the characters and of course the second part. i was giggling and blushing like a little innocent girl. thank you very much it's a great work!' Honestly, it's the little things. People don't have to pour their hearts out to me and gush about my work. Just little comments like that make my day. 🥹🥹
I have so many WIPs and discontinued works, whether that be from just switching hyperfixes or being booted out of a fanbase. 🥲🥲 But, for the most part, I manage to finish my fics, even if it's like getting blood from a stone...
Personally, I'm subscribed to bludpudding, FanFicReader01, QuoteMyFoot and ZeroEchoBravoSeven.
I would recommend some fics but I just spent ages doing the links and Tumblr didn't like it so like just here's the link to my bookmarks. Go wild.
This was really fun! I hope you got something out of this and maybe even added a couple fics to your reading list.
If you got this far, I love you and I hope you have a wonderful day. 💛💛

About me:
All of my homo happenings are here ↓
•I go by Nyx online (debating on a couple of other names too)
•I use any pronouns but prefer xe/they/it/he (unless “it” is being used in a derogatory way) and iffy with she/her (sometimes I don't mind it but other times I do)
•I'm transmasc (I think. I'm not for certain. All I know is I prefer being perceived as masc) and (possibly) genderqueer and agender/libramasc/librafluid (I think. Certain about the agender bit but not quite as much with the rest) and lesbian/neptunic (possibly bi. I'm not entirely sure, I'm still trying to figure it out tbh)-oriented aroace along with cupioromantic and greysexual and queerplatonic. I'm also a lesboy so if that happens to be an issue for you, simply just don't interact with me or berate me on how I label my attraction because I do not want to hear it, I deal with enough bullshit about my queerness in general in real life. However, if you're simply curious on what that means or how that works (for me at least; it varies for different folk) feel free to ask :)
•I'm a Scorpio 🦂
•I'm also a minor so please don't send me nsfw stuff
•I don't really have an interest in getting into a relationship (partially because I'm going through a breakup that technically happened a while back but is just now impacting me since we were still friends until pretty recently and they're in a relationship that was poly temporarily until I broke things off because I felt like shit and only recently found out that it was going on about 3 weeks before they asked me if I was okay with it (okay we've reconciled and discussed this; it didn't actually start prior to me giving my okay on it; they just couldn't remember when it was that I said it was fine so they just sat it as the New Year's) and just constantly keep getting reminded of their relationship so that's a whole thing) so I'm not looking for anything except friends. I don't really have any 🕺 so feel free to drop a dm if you wanna be friends (since I'm still a minor as of now I'd prefer to talk with other minors (to about 15-ish) but since I'll be an adult in November up to about 19-ish will also be fine) however I won't always be available to talk due to school, depressive episodes, or just flat out social anxiety that tends to be really bad around new people so if I haven't replied I'm sorry but I promise I will get around to it at some point, probably just not for a while
• If I actually have enough confidence to (though I probably never will but who knows), fics and snippets of fics, and whatever poetry (if you can even call it that) will be in purple (if you don't want to see my writings they'll all be under the tag #nyx writes)
•I also tend to rant sometimes on here but if you don't want to see any rants they'll be in green and under #sorry for ranting ✌ (most of them will more than likely be deleted a couple of days after posting unless I forget about them until a later time)
•I might go onto some tangents about whatever book I'm currently reading (I got at least 20 and probably more sitting on my bookshelf and fridge begging to be read) and those will all be under #nyx reads and in blue
•If anyone is interested, I have a pet regression side-blog: @whats-the-bi-fi-password-petreg
•A few of my favorite things are (bolded and italicized are my main interests):
•My Chemical Romance and their solo works
•The Used
•Fall Out Boy
•Mother Mother
•Gorillaz
•Paramore
•Circa Survive (particularly Blue Sky Noise)
•Coheed and Cambria
•Good Omens (literally all forms of media. Book, show, audiobook, radio adaption, etc. (I'm not 100% sure if there's more I forgot))
•Our Flag Means Death
•The Sandman (show. I haven't had a chance to read the comics and/or listen to the audiobook yet)
•Doctor Who
•The Sunbearer Trials
•Cemetery Boys
•Heartstopper
•The Owl House
•Gravity Falls
•The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings
•Greek Mythology
DNI If:
You are a transphobe, homophobe, against nonbinary gays and/or lesbians, against folks that use contradicting labels (ex: bi lesbians, lesboys, gaybians, etc.), terf, racist, pedo, ableist, or anything else along those lines that I can't think of
You're an nsfw blog - I am a literal minor
You want to get into politics (I don't do politics, couldn't care less about them, and don't want to hear about them if I don't have to)
