[asterefflores]

Picking this up since my hand is kinda forgetting how to draw and feels like the artist in me is slowly fading,,

[asterefflores]

A moment from chapter 30 of my fanfic 'Can't an Old Man Die in Peace?' that my brain insisted I draw.

Been a while since I drew anything so I planned to take my sweet, sweet time in every step...

Long story short, I got bored, but I trusted the process anyway 🤌🏻

[asterefflores]

I've been wondering.

So, you know how I'm taking ages to fix up all 49 long chapters in my fanfic? And since AO3 won't let me hide just some chapters, think it'd be better if I start posting the edited ones in a new fic with the same name, One Bad End is Enough? I could update like, a chapter every week or two if I'm not working on my other fic.

What do you think?

Yup, do it.

Nah

Some arts for my fanfic "Can't an Old Man Die in Peace?"

[asterefflores]

[asterefflores]

Editing One Bad End is taking longer than expected, and this is the reason 👇🏻

Sometimes, characters just won't go the way authors want lol. Roksoo and Cale both refuse to stick to the current script, and I refuse to let them write a new path due to my arts.

Like, excuse me, I can't let the long hours I spent hunched over the tablet go to waste lmao. Yet, forcing anything on the characters is almost pointless since nothing feels right except the one they chose.

I personally hate it if characters go OOC, it's why I decided to try and edit the fic, mainly the first 10 or 20 chapters. I don't expect me to write characters that belong to someone else perfectly, but at least I had to fix parts that never cease in making me grimace to be able to continue the story.

However, when I finally started editing, I found lots of things that just don't seem right, more than I initially thought. Me glaring at the OOC parts is the problem. I sadly can't overlook it and just have fun lol.

I'm trying to stick to the plot and somehow make things make sense now, and it's a tough puzzle to solve. I'm avoiding the option of just abandoning the fic for good, and it's honestly starting to feel like "I can fix him!" Syndrome x'D

[asterefflores]

I saw your art and it was so amazing that I wanted to read your fanfic. :D Sadly I couldn't find it then I read your last message.

I hope you and your family are doing fine and safe away from any danger.

Ah yes, my family is back and safe now. Thank you :D

And about my fanfic, you mean One Bad End is Enough? Sorry to say it'll remain hidden for a long time, so it seems 🐌

Acrostic Tag Game

Rules: Given a word, find a sentence in your WIP that starts with each letter!

Now that I actually have a long-form wip (edgreed babyyyy), this looks super fun to do!!! Thanks for the tag husband dear @hijinks-n-lowjinks

Given words so far: STAR, PINE, BOWLS, & SPICE

S: She’d gotten so much taller than him.

T: The perfect place to drown his misery in, if it hadn’t come with ghosts.

A: “And, trust me, a guy remembers how he died.”

R: Rosé giggled next to him, her own eyes on her child—Cain—much fonder.

▱▰▱

P: “Point is, I doubt she’d be the happiest about this.”

I: “It wasn’t a bother, honestly,” Al hastened to say when he realized Ed’s displeased silence.

N: “No, you won’t,” Winry teased him.

E: Ed’s throat had long since closed up, from the moment he’d stopped dead in his tracks six feet from the neon-lit bartop.

▱▰▱

B: “But you’re still here somehow.”

O: Or, in other words… he’d checked on Ed sleeping again, and had grown restless at finding the bed empty.

W: Winry’s voice broke on the other end of the call, by no fault of the telephone line.

L: Like the world had shattered around him all over again.

S: “S-So, um, Brother… about last night…”

▱▰▱

S: “So sorry for the wait, si—oh, hey, it’s you again!”

P: “Propose Hakuro for führer, and he will—!”

I: It was hard to forget he’d ever left Munich sometimes.

C: Clink, and Ed knew he had all the homunculus’s attention.

E: Embarrassingly, he could only gape at Greed right now.

I give thee and onward the word of GIN. Go forth (if you so desire) and spread the good word @sirchenchen @lunalovestowrite @kiingleoturtles @kaethefangirl @driftingfandom @puppetmaster55

[driftingfandom]

Thanks for the tag! Haven't been writing due to not being in a good mental space (brain cells are focused on work stuff)

Now to go through my WIP folder since I do not have a strict "finish this WIP"

G - Gilbert's face went from questioning to visibly panicked (TCF AU fic)

I - I might have terrified the agents by jumping over the barrier (ZZZ bangboo fic)

N - Never heard him sing but his body shape looks good. But not as nice as yours, my lady. (TCF AU fic)

Hmm @fanfiction-artist-prototype @blueteller as the only two I remember somewhat writing. Your word is FREE

[blueteller]

You gave me a tough one 😅 Do you have any idea how hard it is to find setence that starts with an "f"???

In any case, I managed it eventually lol

F - "For the greater good, sacrifices had to be made."

E - "Especially not her irresponsible younger brother."

E - "Even more so, when they had an eternity to drive each other crazy."

From certain fic idea that has been rotting at chapter 1 in my folder for ages because I'm too stubborn to completely quit on it hahaha

No I will not explain myself

@asterefflores Wanna play? If you do you can try word "TANK", hopefully you'll have an easier time than me lol

[asterefflores]

Thanks for the tag and good job on your tough task xD

I didn't realize how rare it is to start a sentence with "k," but thanks to Roksu's name, I managed lol

T - “Talking with Father today reminded me of something I had forgotten for some time... I can’t afford to fully trust anyone, neither before as a Crown Prince nor now as the King.”

A - “After all, you’re quite the mystery, Young Master Cale.”

N - “None of you will be invited, of course, but it’s the notion of sharing the news that counts.”

K - Kim Roksu wondered with a slight shiver traveling down his spine, recalling his guardian’s elegant smile when upset.

Feel free to join the fun, @skylerskyhigh 🌸

I choose the word "WRITE"

Enjoy lol

[asterefflores]

Please can't Old Man Die in Peace...this amazing thanks for it and oh!can we have more fanart about this fiction too?it's a shame because it beautiful

Glad you're enjoying the story so far 🌸

As for arts, well, so far the only art I recently added in a previous chapter on ao3 I guess was ogCale's disguise in Eunwu's body lol. It was a request from a friend.

I'll try to draw some more ^ ^

Here's Cale's disguise in that one chapter he went to investigate an orphanage lol

[asterefflores]

Just wanted to say I was looking for your fic "One Bad End Isn't Enough" and I just saw your post about it -- I'm so, so happy you haven't permanently taken it down. Looking forward to reading it again and admiring your gorgeous artwork!!!

I hope you're doing well!

Thank you ^ ^🌸

Sorry for the wait. I'm still working on it. I'm currently going through a tough situation tbh since the region here is in a state of war and my family is trapped in another country close to danger and so, but I'm still distracting/calming myself with writing lol. Hopefully it'll get better for everyone.

Thank you again for loving my fic and arts 🌸

Sorry for the late reply, I hope you're doing well ^ ^

[asterefflores]

Hi ho!

First off, I love your works!

I love your art, your fics, everything!

But I haven't been online for so long, and yesterday I wanted to re-read "One Bad End Isn't Enough", but I couldn't find it. Can I ask what happened to the fic? I don't mean to offend, and I'll respect your choices of what you choose to do about this fic.

Thank you <3

Good day and welcome back online 🌸

Yes, well, first of all, I apologize for not announcing anything about it and some got confused because of this 👉🏻👈🏻

I briefly explained in the latest update in my other fic "Can't an Old Man Die in Peace," though yes not everyone read that fic obviously so thank you for bringing it up here lol,

"One Bad End is Enough" is currently hidden, not gone. I'll reveal it once I'm done editing all chapters. I'll try to reconstruct it fast so you won't have to wait long.

Lastly, I'm glad you enjoy my works much, and it makes me happy that you even considered rereading my long complicated fic lol ^ ^♡

[asterefflores]

Someone stole your fic

Here is the information: https://www.tumblr.com/ein-keiser/781327347687227392/i-have-to-call-out-this-fanfiction-thive-a-friend?source=share

Ah, here we go again...

I kinda don't care cuz there always are people out there who just won't bother and steal anyway regardless the consequences, sometimes just for fun or attention. It does bother me however to see others' works get stolen easily without care smh.

Thank you so much for letting me know 🌸

[ein-keiser]

I have to call out this Fanfiction Thive. A friend of mine just discovered that they stolen and translated their work without permission—despite the fact that I personally despise Wattpad [I absolutely hate it]. This situation is infuriating and must be exposed. Please, go check if you’re also a victim of theirs, because judging by the comments, there are countless others who have had their fanfiction stolen and translated without any consent granted to this Wattpad user. This needs to be stopped.

lirio da aranha vermelha (@AnaLuEnedino)

99 Works, 8 Reading Lists, 230 Followers

So many LCF/TCF fics stolen by them—it's absolutely infuriating. I have no idea what other fandoms might be affected, but the LCF/TCF Discord server I'm a part of is outraged over this revelation. Several of their works have been stolen, and it's just unacceptable!

[asterefflores]

Last time I let people vote on twitter so it's tumblr's turn now. Which one would you like me to update next?

Which fanfic?

One Bad End is Enough

Can't an Old Man Die in Peace?

the number of people reaching out to me and asking for help can be truly overwhelming, as i am also someone w a very very small following and i myself cannot donate. yet i ask that anyone who sees this and can chooses to do so. and i also ask that people don't get used and desensetised to seeing people have to beg to get money to live and escape de genocide, it is not normal, it is horrible. i hope every single person escapes the genocide, but unfortunately many haven't. this is truly heartbreaking to watch, i can't even begin to imagine how horrible and devastating it must be to be the one living it. please help these people

don't forget to do your daily clicks for palestine
