You don’t have to write incredibly kinky fics. You don’t have to write smut fics at all. You can write sweet romantic fics. You can write platonic fics. You can write comfort fics or slice of life. I know fandom spaces make it seem like there’s an unspoken contest about who can write the horniest most fucked up fics but you don’t have to join in if you don’t want to. You should write what makes you happy, you should write what you feel comfortable with and not what an imaginary audience wants. Your favorite characters can be whatever you want them to be, fanon is all made up anyway.
Firebird - Teaser for Chapter 7: The desperate need to be known
”Would the Captain stop him? Jumpscare feared that he had revealed too much to him, but he hadn‘t been able to stop. There had been that urge, that deeply rooted human need to be known for the person you were. Because Jumpscare was no person. Jumpscare was a rage fuelled weapon living in the shadows until called, a being that hid its anger and lust for revenge behind easy grins (although unseen) and throwaway comments, tinted with enough humour no one would think much about it.“
This is for everyone who reads Firebird - I apologise for the long, although unplanned, hiatus. First university with its exams happened, and then life did.
(Instead of writing the next chapter, I had to write a speech for a funeral)
Anyway, the good news is that I finally started chapter 7 (still unnamed) and hopefully can update it somewhat soon.
I will say this later when I update Firebird on Ao3 as well, but ... thank you for your patience, comments and kudos. I highly appreciate those.
The quality became quite bad due to the troubles I had saving the video and I might repost it, once I get it to work like I want it to, but for now I am quite proud of this. It's my first edit of this kind.
The drawing was inspired by the audio I used (which I first saw/heard on tiktok).
In the top right corner you can see my first design of Laswell‘s canon wife, whom I gave the name Rosaline.
