HalfAcre @blowthemoonout - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my blog!

Figured it was about time to make one of these! I created this blog when I decided to try writing fic, which you can find over at HalfAcre on ao3. I generally keep this blog Liverpool FC and rpf focused, but occasionally post about other random things I like.

The WIP

Chapter 6 is now up!

I’ll address some of the common questions I get about this fic below/give some context to what’s going on with me. But please still feel free to message me about it. I always love hearing that people are still thinking about my fic, even though the updates take longer than I’d like.

When will chapter 7 be out?

Currently, I’m not sure. A draft of it is entirely written, but I need to have chapter 8 mostly done in order to post. This is BY FAR the most challenging part of the story to write, so it’s taking time for me to figure out.

Due to my own schedule/a healthy dose of burnout, I took some time out from working on the fic at all. But I’m now back at it again and looking forward to making another update as soon as I can.

Why do updates take so long?

As mentioned above, this is the hardest part of the story to write, for reasons that will either be apparent when reading it or that I will happily chat about forever when it’s finally finished. But mostly it’s because I work full time at a mentally-demanding job. The busier I am at work the less I write, and it’s been very busy recently!

Candidly, I have also struggled to engage with Liverpool content since Diogo Jota’s tragic passing. It’s been better since the season started, but it’s still difficult to fully get excited about anything. Diogo was one of my favorite players and favorite people on the team, and he is extremely missed. Forever our number 20 ❤️

Are you actually going to finish the whole thing?

Yes.

I am extremely stubborn when I want to be, and once I truly decide to do something it WILL get done. Also, I’ve already written most of the ending and it slaps. So however long it takes, it will all be published.

Even though Trent left the club?

Yes.

To me, fictional Trent and real Trent are totally different people. The story is not changing at all because of his transfer. I hope you'll all still enjoy reading it.

Will you ever write something this long again?

Absolutely the fuck not!

Yessss and I felt my life force return to me. I love that he seems to think Trent was the only possible avenue for him to learn Scouse, the dialect of the place he lives and works 😭 the way these gays have me in a chokehold

Heyyy 💖

I randomly thought about your fanfiction the other day, just because it’s one of those stories that really stays with you. So I ended up wondering how you’re doing, and I just wanted to say I’m rooting for you and your mental health.

I remember you mentioning before that the political situation in your country has been really tense, and honestly, I feel you—things aren’t great politically where I live either right now. That’s actually one of the reasons your fanfiction has always meant so much to me; it kind of transported me into another world when I needed it.

I really just wanted to send you some positive energy and let you know I’m thinking of you. I truly hope things get better for you 🫶🏼

Hi anon, this message was so sweet and made me so emotional that had to take some time to respond to it 😭 I’ve loved writing since I was a kid, so hearing that my fic has stayed with you and transports you is just about the best compliment I could get. Thank you so much for sending it to me ❤️

I’m not doing great but I’m okay. Definitely better than a few months ago! I don’t share many personal details on tumblr, in part because I try to keep it as a fandom/writing only space, but I’ve been through a LOT over the last few years and I think it caught up to me. Slowly but surely getting better about things but like I said in a previous post, I’m having to rebuild a lot of my healthy habits. Luckily I have a very good support system!

I’m sorry to hear that things are politically difficult for you as well. I’m sending positive energy right back to you, and hopefully will have another fic update for you before the heat death of the universe!

(It will definitely be before the heat death of the universe. I have a Taurus placement in my big 3, I am way too stubborn to leave that fic unfinished forever.)

#I once told a friend that I didn’t relate to said Taurus placement and he practically laughed in my face #I was told some things about myself that day #acre acks #knee deep in the passenger seat

any update on knee deep in the passenger seat ?? xx

Hey anon, thank you for this ask! I know I say this every time but I can’t tell you how nice it feels to know that people are still interested in my fic.

I don’t have significant updates since last time. The tl;dr rundown that is less about the fic and more about my personal life:

- In the last year I girlbossed too close to the sun and became more important at work. My job is pretty mentally taxing so this has been an adjustment!

- Ya girl is also a prototypical gifted kid with ADHD and do you know what’s a great way to get burnout? Becoming more important at work without improving your executive functioning skills. 0/10, don’t recommend.

- Mental health therefore took a completely predictable nosedive.

- We also had a pretty shit winter, even by the standards of the “our winters are routinely shit” place that I live. As someone whose mood generally doesn’t fluctuate with the seasons, this one got me!

- I’ve basically been doing the “one step forward, two steps back” dance of trying to rebuild all my healthy habits, including having writing time. It’s been really hard tbh so I haven’t been able to make writing a priority.

My tentative plan has been to return to writing in earnest this month. I do think about this fic literally every day and a lot of the later parts are already written, but I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself.

Still 100% committed to finishing it—there’s pretty much nothing I want more than to finally complete it, if only to prove that I can (former gifted kid ass behavior 😭). Unfortunately I can’t give a more concrete timeline, but thank you again for checking in! It’s honestly very motivating.

Slept through the game and oh BOY was that a good move on my part

#laughed out loud when I checked FotMob btw #if my erratic sleep schedule doesn’t break me then the reds will surely finish the job
