I wanted to start writing fan fictions of my own and stuff (mainly of hsr and some other fandoms) but I'm not sure where to start. Your my number one favourite writer on tumblr and I was just wondering if you had some words of advice on where and how to go about it :) If you don't want to, thats fine as well. Love your works so much!
OMG I'VE NEVER BEEN SOMEONES #1 FAV WRITER BEFORE WTF. THANK U SM???
for headcanon inspo/writer inspo in general, i would read a lot of romcom books. or watch a lot of romcoms. for me, inspo comes from songs/books/movies/tiktoks i interact with. inspo comes and it goes; don't worry if you don't have constant inspo for new content. just as long as it feels authentic and it's twisted in your own way, then it will be good.
pinterest and spotify are gonna be ur favorite apps. i use pinterest for layouts, aesthetics, cute poetry for inspo, etc. spotify also helps for inspo, for example if you listen to a song u like then u could possibly base a scenario/headcanon/etc off of that. and personally, when i listen to music that fits into a certain scene i'm writing, it really helps me encapsulate the emotions i want in that scene, which in turn makes my writing better (at least to me it does).
if you are writing headcanons/drabbles/etc, make sure it has an aesthetically pleasing layout. what i find that headcanons/drabbles that look more organized usually have more interaction because it looks more aesthetically pleasing and well-rounded. you may want to add colors (using graphics, borders, etc) so that it would appeal more to a reader than no color and blank layout.
be creative with your writing!! literally write whatever you want and i guarantee you at least one person is gonna like it and read that work for life. and don't be discouraged if your works don't get lots of notes the first time. the tumblr algorithm is messed up.
some other short notes
no need to have a masterlist so early. u may want to have at least 2 or 3 works published before u create a masterlist. masterlists don't have to be on the same level as van gogh on levels of creativity, so don't stress tm abt that.
if ur ever thinking abt letting ppl request, don't be too hard on urself if u can't finish them. at the end of the day, you are writing for urself. prioritize yourself.
take care of urself while writing. writing takes time and effort and brainpower (ugh), so if ur ever feeling burnt out, don't be so hard on yourself bc writing is hella work
don't compare yourself to other writers. your writing is your writing and it's so special because of that. ur writing is already so amazing bc YOU ARE THE ONE WRITING IT
to summarize all my thoughts
inspo from media
listen to music + use pinterest
make sure u have cute layout (for profile AND works)
write whatever tf u want. if other ppl don't appreciate it then it's their loss
don't be so hard on urself. remind urself that ur writing is incredible!!

Imagine if the Tim-centric TimKon shippers learned about that Clone Plague plotline
honestly the tim-centric """timkon""" shippers (i say that in scare quotes because its less actually timkon and more "tim/generic cardboard cutout labeled 'boyfriend' that could be anyone honestly") are a plague upon my household and i don't want them anywhere near kon. they'd probably learn about the clone plague and just be like ooh so next time we want to write a shovel talk we can say b*tman or j*son t*dd threaten to inject kon with the clone plague again!!!! <- very sorry for putting this into the world. its so cursed. im right tho
THAT BEING SAID. people who do like kon and simply don't know the deets yet are welcome in my house and home. come closer did you know he almost died of the clone plague before he was even a year old? he had a dramatic fainting in front of the fridge episode and everything.

Where do you get object oc ideas
From objects, hope this helps!
jk
WARNING I MISREAD THE QUESTION BUT I ALREADY WROTE SO MUCH SO I'LL ANSWER THIS ONE ON ANOTHER POST
Here's a small guide on how I make my object ocs!
First of all, are you emulating a more show-like characters or a self-indulgent characters?
Because i can't help with the latter, I'm more of the former.
1. Analyze the objects
Blood Pack is a medical equipment used to restore improve blood in the body.
So i made Blood Pack into a medical student who suffers from Anemia and Hemophilia, while also playing around with visuals of a vampire/demon with his red color scheme.
2. Use puns and wordplay in design!
3. "Accesory or clothing?"
Depending on the setting.
Modern City folks looks better with one to accentuate their city-moderny-ness.
But you can just use small accessories
Don't clutter, be mindful and just add enough to show off their object/story/personality
Food and Drinks are the easiest to design to have accessories
...alongside plants!
Leaves are very versatile
It really depends on how much you can utilize their objects by making accessories that fit them
Swirly hair for cotton candy alongside a caramel bowtie
Maid outfit being a feather duster's feathers
Calender's glasses being circle marks used to mark a date
Carol Bell using ribbons and leaves to show her christmas-theming
Rice having a chopstick.
4. Personality
When making a character, it's usually best to base it on their design. However... you can go straight like
Or subvert the expectations!

any opinions/thoughts on tana and kon’s relationship?
i think ive said my thoughts on it a while ago so i'll just try to be brief here, but dc, especially older dc comics, just has a weird problem with underage romances
i think it was generally seen as "cool" to date older women back then, and its still a mindset present today with some people, but it does make it hard to read some of these old comics because of how uncomfortable it feels. i just think it's unfortunate because tana could have been a cool Polynesian character who teaches kon about humanity, but the writers had to be weird about it and make her an older woman rather than idk the same age which just sours the whole thing. i especially get uncomfy when other characters in the comic point out the age gap, only for the comic to immediately brush over it. the constant naming of "kid" and pointing out of kon's immaturity as if he wasn't literally 16 then was also :T
i also think that tana is a result of fetishization by the writers part, and there's just a pattern in older comics of women being hyper sexualized and used to act out writers' weird ass sexual fantasies (see the several instances just involving the batfam alone) which just makes me more frustrated with writers and editorial than anything else really. of course, it is interesting to take the story and add depth that the writers clearly didn't originally plan for but yeahhh that stuff is mostly left for fans to deal with. incomic that relationship definitely would leave kon with complex trauma and then for meta analysis i just really hate dc writers for pulling this shit in this first place and doing it more than once without ever addressing the problem--it leaves a sour taste in my mouth
#clam answers#like its so easy to avoid this shit but since you didnt now you gotta commit and deal with the consequences that would have on the narrativ#and characters#but it wont#if superboy were to happen today then id fully expect this to get addressed#or id be fine w tana being left out altogethr#and instead focus on hillary or smth or his friends from the school he briefly went to#tw grooming

Good sisters wingman. Kind of. Well, Tana was asking for herself, too, but that didn't matter! She'd be happy regardless of the outcome. "Ephraim, I have a very important question for you? Is there anyone that you like?" She was practically bursting with excitement.
Ephraim gave Tana his full attention as she came up to him. She was Eirika's dear friend, and he thought well of her too, so he'd hate to estrange her in some manner.
However, her question perplexed him — why would she ask that? — but he answered readily enough. "Well, of course." A pause, because he half expected her to know this already. "I like you, and I like Eirika, and I like Forde, Kyle, Seth, even Innes I suppose, when he's not breathing down my neck." Innes made for a good rival and training partner but the man was intense, and that was saying something from Ephraim. "Oh, Duessel, of course. He's my mentor."
Still, he felt he had somehow missed something. "Ah, why do you ask?"

@indigodreames said "I'm tryin' hard not to look like I'm trying." ( from tana ! )
❛ — I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU , but it’s not exactly working ❜ she has to struggle to hide the laughter threatening the back of her throat , so much a palm has to protect parted lips to stifle it . she’s been staring at the same page of a book for possibly thirty minutes , desperately attempting to decipher the words like they are a language foreign to her when in reality ? it’s just plain old english . the language she’d been speaking the moment she was able to open her mouth .
she gives up , closing the heavy - covered book with a thud and slides it to the center of the table between them and offers another grin that appears nearly prideful , but also , amusement . ❛ all i can tell you is that as hard as you’re trying , you’re barely convincing me to watch that movie – i mean , not only did i hear it was absolutely terrible , but your description of it ? i mean … ❜ the gesture she makes almost comes off as if the whole world has attempted to tell her the same thing , and it’s not doing much of anything to change her mind , ❛ so – why not just … you know , try again ? or you can sit me down with some really good food and i won’t have a choice but to remain in one place until i’m finished . if you’re right ? i’ll even watch til’ the end . sound like a deal ? ❜

Lotus Bluebell and Poppy for flower asks!! 🌸
lotus— what is your favorite color and in what shade? e.g. sage green, navy blue, ect.
rose pink? blush? pastel pink? very light shades of pink are my favourite.
bluebell— do you have any pets? if so, what are their names?
yes, i have two cats! bailey (on the right) and cather (left) share the same mom, but they're three months apart. i love my little critters so much.
poppy— out of the four seasons, which season of the year is your favorite and why?
spring! i really love how there's some residual chilliness from winter, but the nights are brighter, the mornings are filled with dew, and the whole world is in bloom again. it feels more like the start of a new year for me than actual new years.

why do u always talk about tana, the indigenous Hawaiian woman who’s writing (including how she was portrayed and the fact that she was fridged) was definitely influenced by her ethnicity and not knockout who was older than her and abused kon…
.................do you genuinely think i dont talk about knockout. you must be new here lmaoooooo
also, frankly, because knockout being written as a villain (and her manipulation of kon being thereby allowed to be acknowledged by the narrative, albeit only in a very limited sense) is different from tana being written as a completely uncritical love interest. was racism a factor in tana's writing? certainly! doesn't mean that the relationship between her and kon wasn't still abusive and predatory without being ever acknowledged as such. moreover tana was around for significantly more of the entire run than knockout was. simply put there is more to be said about her.

Is there any lesbian couples in TANA/ your oc world? I've only seen Train Ticket and Flask so far and I think they're exes now right?
There's only single lesbians, the reason i don't have any lesbian couples is because.......
i like men and i keep making gay men on impulse and i can't stop making gay men help me, it's like whenever I make new ocs I go "but what if they're gay men yaoi" and I end up making more and more gay men than I intended.
I literally made a character's grandpa and went "what if old man yaoi" and now I'm making old man yaoi

WIP Weekend
WIP Weekend (Look, it’s the weekend SOMEWHERE) Challenge
@oreozfox told me about this after she saw it on @beholdthemem’s tumblr. I believe @hilarychuff started this!
Here are the RULES:
in a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.
post a snippet from one of them. snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. we’re posting progress here. if you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!
after you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. you must then write 3 sentences in that file. if the filename is one you can’t share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.
that’s it! you can invite others to join in, or just post. if you tag me in your post, i will send you an ask request!
1. I’d Rather Be Dead, Because Then I’m with You (Monster Aizawa)
2. You’re the Only Thing That’s Right About This Broken World (Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series)
3. Nurse Keigo (Prison Break Series)
4. Pink Cadillac (One shot from my Aizawa x OC Multichapter Fic “Jupiter and Eraserhead”
5. For This Price You Know You’d Kill (Serial Killer AU for Larry Johnson from Sally Face OC x Canon)
Excerpt from Pink Cadillac
“Botan,” he calls, his voice cracking as the barkeep turns to him, “get the lady at the end of the counter a pink cadillac.” Botan nods before he turns to survey the woman. Once his eyes rest on her, they widen, and he turns back to Shouta with a look of incredulity.
“Aizawa. Do you know who that is?”
“Yes, Botan, I’m not stupid.”
Consider yourself tagged if you read this post.

❌What WIP do you find the most challenging? Why?
❌What WIP do you find the most challenging? Why?
hmm, probably namesake. it's just years upon years of research at this point. it doesn't help that i'm feeling a tad burnt out when it comes to my favourite story, but i feel a lot of pressure to make it something original and outstanding bc it's a fish in a very large pond.
otherwise, eiros has an alarming amount of characters to keep organized. i think last time i counted them all, there were over three hundred with names and lore. it's an epic i've worked on since i was 14, but i'm also not feeling very attached to high fantasy these days. much of it feels very overdone, so i'm unsure if the story needs an audience outside of me and my best friend lol.
