life is honestly too short to be embarrassed over anything that sparks even a little happiness in you

Hey! I just joined Tumblr and have followed/faved you here as well. I hope you're doing well and life is treating you as great as it can. Just wanted to say hi and that I'm thinking of you and hoping you're doing ok since you haven't updated My Blessed Son in a while.

Hope to hear from you soon. :D

Hi, I appreciate you reaching out. <3

I'm sorry (to everyone) that I've been MIA lately. I've been going through a bad depressive episode for several months (almost a year at his point honestly), and all the energy I do have has been going toward the bare minimum functioning in my real life. Getting up and going into the world and smiling and pretending everything is fine just to come home and cry in bed is really exhausting.

I do still plan to finish My Blessed Son. I'm splitting the chapters I have outlined to make them a little shorter so they're a little easier to finish. I have the next chapter pretty close (like 1-2k words away) to being done, but I'm still not sure when I'll get to posting it. I love this story, and I really miss it. i think about it and the characters every single day. But I don't want to put out something I'm not proud of. And I don't wanna give a timeline because every time I do that, things seem to get worse for me. It's like a curse lol.

Again, I'm really sorry. For the disappearance and now the lowkey trauma-dumping lol. (At least now y'all know that Jack's depression is written very authentically, I guess 👍) I'm doing my best, and I hope to be back as soon as I'm able.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to talk about the fic or anything else, you can add me on discord @averylainey. (I'll straight up spoil the whole rest of the story for you and info-dump about all the characters if you ask me to lmao.)

Thank you for your and everyone else's patience with me. I really appreciate you. <3

writing is hard but coming up with a cunty title and catchy summary will slay even god's strongest soldier

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)

"Reading fanfics is embarrassing, drawing like a beginner is embarrassing, overdressing is embarrassing, liking unpopular music is embarrassing" says the most boring, sad, pathetic victims of the cringe culture. People who are afraid to be themselves to not be a victim of people who are also hiding their true self from others

STOP BEING SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT YOUR CREATIONS STOP SECOND GUESSING WHAT YOU REALLY WANNA DO STOP DEBATING IT'S WORTH. LET YOUR ART SERVE YOU INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND

You can’t win as a woman in fiction. Be too positive, you become a Mary Sue, have flaws and those flaws are why almost nobody likes you. Be moderate, you have wet-cabbage personality, be exuberant, you are an unrealistic example. Have strong morals, and you’re badly developed, be morally corrupt and you’re hated with such vigour fans will send hate mail to the actress who plays the character. Be kind and soft and in love, you’re a representation of sexism, be cruel, harsh and cold and you’re just a bitch. Be a complex, realistic, ambiguous character, and either your flaws or your positive traits will be ignored or blown out of proportion and into oblivion. There is no winning for female characters.
