│││▶finally made an ao3 sideblog!

since I reblog way too many posts and have no order in my main blog, here I am, because I really really really want to yap about my own stories and others' stories I find on the wonder of a site that ao3 is, no matter how many (few) people see it. so!

abstract_psychopomp on ao3! ◀│││

tags: #how to be a human being au posts about my longfic, HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING on ao3 #I forgive and I forget (connor version) my Connor Stoll centric fic, (will be soon) cross-posted here but available on ao3 (I forgive and I forget (I know my place and this is it)) (and more to come since I plan to cross post everything on here!!)

so anyway instead of working on my pjo longfic I wrote 40k words of malec where Magnus is just in the last five thousand words, the first thirty five thousand are just. Alec meeting other people as a youngster. but I needed to do it, because I wrote this hideous malec fic when I was like fourteen and needed to distance myself from it in any way possible. and I'm not talking about "bad writing" I'm talking about "terrible interpretation/understanding of the material" (like calling a eighteen years old in a relationship with an immortal warlock naive and stupid for being insecure ab himself). so here I am with a fic where alec is actually twenty something when he meets Magnus and they are absolutely obsessed with each other and yk Alec is old enough to be fully blamed for his shitty decisions!!! he self-flagellates for like half of the thing so he's still Alec!

I don't even know if this fandom is still alive.

Summary

She was twenty-two and she didn't remember her little sister's voice, but she would always remember the fire burning near the shore, as weightless drops of water hit her face and dampened her long hair. Holding her sister's sweaty hand, her father's on her shoulder, his figure moving like a ghost towards the water but never getting in. The water wasn't to be disturbed, or terrible things would happen to them. Shmi never disturbed the water, but terrible things still happened to her.

or a wounded woman and her son, whose love will never be enough to heal her.

first chapter done!

so! chapter 9 out of (probably) 15, and it's day eight for our dearest deities on Earth, and also the first day of this quest. god if I'm terrible with action scenes. but I don't think I did a bad job? like, I hope so. I probably did. but did you listen to Mitski's new album? I did, it was wonderful.

I'll finish writing these three bad boys (which will be a total of at least 30k words) and post them while I work on the last four, but it's gonna take me a while since translating takes time and this isn't the only fic I'm working on. to be honest the thing that's not making me lose inspiration and all that is comments (someone wrote two that make it sound like they pretty much know my fic better than me! I almost cried) so I have to thank them all first and foremost!

and I told myself to stay on the lighter side and write no more than 11k for each chapter, but things happen and here we are.

spoilers. Demeter has terrible music tastes, they have to deal with someone who's been in some way offended (to put it lightly) by Hera in the past, which is not at all vague, and not all gods are as dumb as Zeus. more Iris... what's the opposite of shading? I like her lots. trains.

I will soon post a list of all my wips bc I want to whine about my inability to focus on one thing at a time

[i-will-write]

how i sleep knowing i write shitty fiction but at least don’t use chatgpt

[abstractppsychopomp]

chapter five is out and I have to start working on that ocs list because they're gonna be a lot and I can barely keep track of them

(but yk what helps a lot? obsidian!! it took me a bit to understane how it works, but it's been super helpful so if you're having difficulties keeping track of things while writing something try it out :D)

while I translate chapter six and keep on writing the second arc I've also started to work again on my clarisse one shot, I plan for it to look something like this

but lots of thing could change, I'm only 15.8k words in and I plan to write 20k, so we'll see, but I'd like to post it before the end of august even tho I'll be busy

(we'll ignore the elephant in the room) (the regulus&sirius fic)

[abstractppsychopomp]

I just posted chapter four of HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING jump on my shame wagon folks

[abstractppsychopomp]

hi!!! just wanted to say that while I planned to post the fourth chapter of "HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING" before the 20th of June, IT'S PRIDE MONTH and I have a togaocha one-shot sitting in my ellipsus, so I'm gonna translate that first and then think about HTBAHB. (my lesbians deserve their glory)

[abstractppsychopomp]

HTBAHB material that needs to be shared with the class because I have a vision and I want everyone reading the fic to have the same vision as me

so!!! this is how the Big House is supposed to look in this au

room number 1 is the living room: where their talk with Percy takes place, at the end of chapter/day three. next to it there's the kitchen (2), which is kinda small, mainly because no one uses it much. in front of them the meeting room (3), the biggest room in the building (and another plan will be posted after chapter/day six to describe it with more details!). The bathroom (4) is next to it, at the end of the corridor, and this is the bigger half of the first floor. the ground floor. I'm struggling with english right now. just get me please. We have, next to the meeting room, Chiron's bedroom. it's small, because obv he can't use the stairs and he didn't want to steal any space from the youngsters by taking some meters from room 3. that thing coming out of the front porch, next to the stairs, is supposed to be a ramp for Chiron's wheelchair, don't know how good of a ramp it is but know that it's just that. before the Infirmary was built the meeting room was used as a substitute- I don't know yet if I want the Infirmary to be really recent (like post-Kronos recent) or a few decades old. the angst potential is even higher if it's post-Kronos, so we'll see. Dionysus' rooms can be accessed by taking the stairs, but no demigod tried or lived to tell the tale.

+ a sketch of Cabin Seven!

it's really simple and really ugly rn, but I'll finish it as soon as I can! the bed are all bunk-beds: eighteen kids can fit comfortably, and there are spaces for their things under the beds because eighteen teenagers can't share a wardrobe, (all the Cabins are pretty big because twenty kids sharing a building can turn tragic) (this makes the whole 'Hermes' Cabin being full' thing ten times sadder) it looks like a temple from the outside; the columns outside were supposed to be six but I didn't have a compass with me so they were done with the back of my bsf marker and they're kind of terrible- and there should be way more space between them, to form some sort of 'entrance hall' where they put things that Counselors forbid from going in.

appreciate my effort, sliding doors are strange and there were like ten different ways of drawing them? but tbh it was fun!

[abstractppsychopomp]

ellipsus' pride theme is so cute I can't

[abstractppsychopomp]

chapter three of HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING is out!!

I'm hoping to post the fourth one before the 20th of May, but I really want to thank all the people who read it and left kudos/comments and bookmarked the fic, it makes me happy to know that someone else is enjoying this!!! the slow updates are slowly killing me too, but school's at its end so I hope to post more this summer, at least a chapter every two weeks, and then focus on writing the second arc! (it's frustrating to have the fic written but in the wrong language, had we lived in the middle ages latin would have been the language of European culture and no one could have bat an eye against me using my native language 😞) (I'm learning how to do embroidery btw!!!)

[abstractppsychopomp]

hi, happy may day! I thought about locking my fics off to anyone who isn't registered, but I alr feel guilty because for a lot or reasons people may not be able to have an account and this doesn't mean that they shouldn't read ffs, so I will just keep them visible to anyone (ai already scraped some of them, I don't even care at this point) (and I'm thinking about cross-posting here on tumbrl bc yes I want to) (without like clogging (?) the tags? I will learn more ab the correct etiquette!)

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

[cannibalisticcorpse]

on the reddit post they're encouraging ppl to make copyright claims

[roundaboutnow]

locking all of my works again, pls let me know if you want to make an ao3 account I'll send a link

[breannasfluff]

Riiiiiip to my fics

[inactivehero-of-fortuneinactive]

tut of how to lock your ao3 works because it took me a long time to figure out:

from the ‘your works’ page click edit works in the top left

click ‘all’

they should light up with blue checks

scroll to the bottom and click edit

scroll past all the fics and to the bottom where it says privacy and select ‘only show to registered users’

and then click ‘update all works’ right under privacy.

stay safe ao3ers

[abstractppsychopomp]

my very own soul is telling me to give Jason Grace an apotheosis storyline both because he can never get a break and because he's the youngest son so the angst potential has never been so great and the conflicting family trope sings to me like I'm a poor sailor at sea. not to talk about the Percy/Jason parallels. the sailor has already been drowned I fear

[abstractppsychopomp]

FIRST PART OF "HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING" IS BEING POSTED!!!

(day six had to be a max of 10k words and be the last one, but guess what I got lost with Pollux feels and it turned out to be like 18k, and still it was missing the important last scene of the first section of this fic, so I had to had day six//part two (still featuring dio bc I love him and the plan was one day one god))

and then there are the interludes! (that I did bc sometimes one pov per day wasn't enough to say everything I wanted to say)

Hera's chapter will be long, but I couldn't make it a 'real' chapter bc the first part is from the povs of the younger gods (and Aphrodite), meanwhile the second part will have the children of Kronos' povs and younger gods interludes!!! (and an Artemis first chapter bc yes)

Athena's chapter will be slightly shorter, but it will have lots of Piper bc in this universe Piper sees Athena trapped in a the body of a little 12yo girl and goes feral bc that's her little sister right there (she isn't and Athena's confused)

Summary

or Camp Half-Blood has dealt with worse things than thirteen confused, angry and immature gods, and they would certainly know how to deal with it: they’re ready for whatever the world wants to throw at them. If only they knew that the mysterious thirteen demigods who almost got killed by a drakon two feet from the wards are their parents. If only.

[abstractppsychopomp]

things I would love to talk about in my pjo fic that don't fit so I just write them in my notes; part one

-the fully extent of the beef between Dionysius and Zeus. so, Dio is sent to Camp and basically imprisoned there because he apparently lusted after a nymph whom Zeus had his eyes set on. But not here! Knowing Dio's story and hate for heroes, and the fact that despite the many sexual aspects of his domains and powers he has only two demigod children, we can say with few doubts that he doesn't have children just with anyone. So he meets this person (that I hc as a woman but could literally be anything else) and has children with them. then he names them after two of his half-brothers, but then he even lives with them for a time- which goes against Zeus's rules. he cares about his half-bloods, and prob understands them more than any other god since he has been a demigod, at the mercy of merciless gods (ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves). after all Apollo only truly understood them when he was forced into being one. So, so, Pollux and Castor stay at Camp all year with their father, and from this I say their mortal parent is dead- otherwise why would they stay at Camp? they could be neglectful, I guess, but not here. and what, Dionysius forms a family with someone and then this someone dies and he coincidentally is punished by his father to live amongst mortals- amongst demigods, and watch as they die and meet the same end he could have met, without being able to do anything? so theory is Zeus punished Dionysus by also killing his lover. which makes their relationship even more strained than what it is and things more fun for me bc Dio is prob Zeus' most disliked son (Apollo this Apollo that Apollo is completely different shut up) (don't do that really)

-Clarisse's mother is a professional boxer, even a pretty famous one, but Clarisse has a terrible relationship with her (she's a year rounder, she doesn't even talk to her mother anymore, they barely see each other). despite this, after Camp Clarisse follows her footsteps and gets into boxing (she's a tank of a woman, my tank of a woman). she also works (something super simple that still makes her go mad, maybe something like being a shop assistant- or a bouncer, that would be cool), and makes enough money to pay for an apartment she shares with guess who, Chris, who's studying art! they're not in a relationship, Clarisse wouldn't touch a man with a ten feet pole (and she will soon have a thing with a woman at least three years older than her) (with a kid she had after high-school) (don't ask why), but they're besties and everybody knows it. Clarisse is the only thing keeping him from being homeless and still Chris is a noisy brat (when he's relaxed enough) and she loves him a lot (she deserves nice things)

-Hades is the tallest child of Kronos, and Nico, after more than a year spent between the Underworld (where he has a father and a stepmother ready to pamper him as he deserves) and both Camps (where he is somehow both considered a mythical creature and known as the chillest guy ever) hits his grow spurt (Hades is so proud) and is now taller than Will, who regrets ever making fun of Nico for his height. the image came to me like salvation. we love short kings but this was too funny.
