The Trash Can

Otherwise known as the place where all my random ideas and shitposts go. Even I have no idea what is in here, and I made this dumpster of lost hopes and dreams :)

Quick update! (A:2sc)

Hey! So, I haven’t been updating A:2sc as of late, and while I won’t go into all the gory details because I don’t want to bore you, I just want to give a quick update as to what is happening.

I’ve been having a tough time and a lot of things have been thrown around for me. I don’t actually know what’s going to happen in my life right now and I’m in a weird place. I’m struggling with writers block due to certain things and my home life has been a bit cloying.

So, when will I update? Hopefully soonish. At latest by mid-may, I think, but who knows. I have part of the chapter written, but I’m not happy with it right now. I’ve been drawing future art in the meantime and distancing myself a bit as to give myself some breathing room. If you want to know more please DM me, I will do my best to respond.

If you’re ever like “but what do fic writers even WANT.”

a book report

They want a book report.

They want you to get 9th grade English up in their shit. 

Remember having to write ad nauseam about the symbolism of that stupid conch in Lord of the Flies? They want you to do that about Steve Roger’s shield and Emma Swan’s jacket.

[tumblunni]

WHoa seriously?? People WANT this? Holy crap, I always thought I’d be really rude to leave an overly long comment on something, or it’d just be super creepy for me to babble a load of emotional attatchment I had to their product, or all my wild fan theories which are probably wrong… I mean.. I know if I ever created something I’d wanna see comments like that, but I’m a weirdo and I haven’t even created anything anyway so what do I know? Umm.. yeah.. so… at my followers and friends and stuff: does anyone agree with this? Do I have permission to really ramble embarrassingly and honestly when I like your stuff, or would you prefer short and semi-rational comments?

[zsebmacska]

I agree! I really like to read people toughts on my stuff, no matter the writing style.

[leonawriter]

I always LOVE knowing that readers understand why I chose certain ways of getting things across! I also love seeing which bits OTHER PEOPLE liked best! Since I’m the author, I’m biased. I either think my work is brilliant or I have crushing doubts.

So - whichever you want, or feel comfortable with!

[elfpen]

Long comments and rambles make my day so much you don’t even know

[calamitycons]

PLEASE DO THIS WITH ANYTHING I WRITE I CRAVE FEEDBACK AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE THING

[elidoo]

Yep, co-signed. I try to drop a lot of symbolism and deliberate symmetry and I always wonder if people catch them.

Not that I don’t appreciate all the OMG YOU MONSTER YOU MADE ME CRY’s because it’s real privilege to make people feel something with nothing but words.

But I love it when you tell me your discoveries.

[me-ya-ri-deactivated20181214]

Abso-fucking-lutely! Long comments about symbols and meaning give me stupid grins for days. :D

[p1ratew3nch]

YES!

[procrastinatingbookworm]

WRITE ME A BOOK REPORT

[ssskeletonsoffun]

Haha, in relation to my latest post here haha,,,

[whetstonefires]

Absolutely yes that is the best thing.

[melui-the-bookworm]

If you want to, absolutely leave comments if you like what I write! Comments, even the long incoherent rambly ones, make my day EVERY single time and it’s like getting a hug from a reader :D

[deadbiwrites]

I legit wait to respond to long comments simply because they make my day so much that I want to savor them and be sure that I address things in the right order when I respond. Deliver me a thesis, friends.

[krispydefendorpolice]

As a writer yes please share your thoughts on my stories. What was interesting what was confusing. What did you like? What theories are you coming up with? Please let me know as I love the interactions.

[someone-ev-deactivated20211109]

Book report.

[theawkwardvirgin]

Absolutely, and with the emotional stuff too. Someone once told me that they had been having a really hard day and my story really helped them and I nearly bawled

[thewriterswitch]

Long rambles are the holy grail of fic writing. I love hearing my readers theories—whether they’re right or wrong—and I love hearing what they loved or hated. And babbling emotionally, fuck yes!

[pens-swords-stuff]

That being said, short comments are also appreciated!!!

[quietly-ocean-watching]

You can literally put the word ‘sick’ or like a full essay and I will love both equally

[an-anonymous-platypus]

Legit anyone who writes me an essay comment or even just ‘Thx’, I love you all and your comments make me smile so damn much. Literally, if you read my fic and comment, I will love you forever.

Veil, from my story Antithesis: Two Sides of a Coin.

A character I’ve wanted to write for a while, and am so glad I have, because I love drawing and writing her!

[an-anonymous-platypus]

So here’s a random sketch based off of a text post from a while back-

My take on visible Hagakure in A:2sc!

[an-anonymous-platypus]

tiktok eboy villain todoroki for the win

His weapon is the power of edgy memes

[an-anonymous-platypus]

Idea

So, if I were to write and design a Villain Todoroki, would you rather he had the aesthetic and weapons of:

1: A mobster/gangster

2: A tiktok eboy

[lyresandlasers]

list of favorite things as a fanfic author:

When someone is really freaking mad at me for inducing an emotional response from them

when readers give me a background of how/when they read my writing

when readers give me a background of why they shouldn’t have been reading my writing (usually while at work)

when readers quote my work back to me in comments

the frickin’ real heroes here, the ones who comment on every chapter of an ongoing multi-chapter fic

[an-anonymous-platypus]

You know who you are, ones who fit the last bullet point, and I applaud you

treat yourself like you would treat your favorite character

[runningwolf62]

As a fanfiction author I think this is a bad idea.

[an-anonymous-platypus]

...so I should become a criminal?
