HI HELLO! chapter 20 of wafwaf has (finally) been posted! im very happy with this one :D

#mythic quest #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #fanfiction #ao3 #this one was SO FUN TO WRITE #god i love writing dialogue. and angst. and introspection. and ok i think i just like writing in general #this is the longest chapter so far by a LOT and also the most dialogue heavy #watch out!#not very dark all things considered though which is good i guess

chapter 19 of wafwaf has been uploaded!! this one isn’t as dark as the other chapters have been recently, but. well you’ll see. Things Happen

#mythic quest #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #fanfiction #ao3 #TEEHEE #IM NOT GOING TO SPOIL IT BUT MAN. THIS CHAPTER TAKES A TURN #dont worry im going to get us through this and it wont be a Major Deal in the grand scheme of things

google this is an incredibly normal name what do you MEAN

#im not going to tag this as anything bc it's not helpful in the slightest #but i think it's hilarious #shhh don't worry about why brad is in a waiting room #nothing bad is happening nothing at all teehee #on the bright side yes i am almost finished with chapter 19 and it'll probably be uploaded tomorrow or so #gotta leave y'all guessing abt what the tiny bit of information in this screenshot means before i reveal it ofc

after four months chapter 18 of we are fleeting, we are feeling is FINALLY out! please please please read the tw in the notes before proceeding, as this one's pretty heavy!

#mythic quest #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #fanfiction #ao3 #i hate this chapter so so much it's why i struggled so much with writing it #i literally rewrote it like three times LOL #but if i didnt upload it regardless i would have spent the rest of my life picking it apart and stalling finishing it so here it is #fingers crossed there will never be another chapter that i hate like this LMAO #BUT ANYWAY hi yes im back and will hopefully be uploading much more often now that im back

hi how are you doing?

hi i know its a billion years later anon im so sorry but im (finally) doing okay! a few of my Problems got bad the beginning of this year and i had zero interest in writing wafwaf because i was struggling myself and worried if i tried to write brad struggling id relapse completely which. not great! but im mostly stable now and im on new bipolar meds so hopefully im good LOL! i FINALLY finished writing chapter 18 last night so expect that to be up today and hopefully i wont take another stupidly long break between chapters again

#we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #asks answered #IM FINALLY BACK #LET THE CELEBRATING COMMENCE

hey i just wanted to check in and see how you were doing :)

well. to be completely honest still not great lol but im alive. i havent looked at my google doc for chapter 18 in almost a week 😬 i know i know im sorry yall :( the Depression side of my bipolar depression has been kicking the absolute shit out of me this week and im just barely hanging in there LOL so. it might be a while until im able to write the next chapter

#we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #asks answered #im sorry :(#this is Hell #trust me i want nothing more than to write and just get it OUT but alas i have zero motivation to do anything #and like i know how i want the chapter to go i just. cant bring myself to write #obligatory mention that ill be okay dont worry about me etc etc #ive been playing games with my friends pretty much every single day to distract myself #i have good friends :)#so ill pull through

i know i know it’s only tuesday (well almost wednesday) but how is the new wafwaf chapter coming along? sorry i’m an impatient little shit

uh. ok confession. ive written exactly 126 words for it so far. ive been majorly struggling with the depression side of my bipolar depression lately and i recently relapsed on some really bad habits so. although im going to try and get chapter 18 out on time, i really cant make any promises while i deal with my own mental shit. ive spent the past three months prioritizing wafwaf over my own mental health and apparently that was a Very Bad Idea because even though im not burned out on writing at all i have ZERO motivation to do ANYTHING right now. ive literally been sleeping for 12+ hours a day lately and it still isnt enough sleep. so uh. yeah. sorry

#asks answered #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #im sorry :(#i really wish i could say that the chapter is already done bc by this point in the week it usually is but. not this week #ill be okay dont worry about me etc etc #but shit is Very Rough atm and ive spent pretty much every day this week unsure if ill make it to the next day so #not in a big writing mood atm LMAO #mental illness

chapter 17 of wafwaf has been uploaded! it’s my favorite chapter so far, and it’s technically being uploaded early, but that’s okay because i was too excited to wait

#mythic quest #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #fanfiction #ao3 #lets gooooooooooooooo #read it and weep bitches #sorry that was rude #this one is angsty tho

totally random: do you think brad was bullied is high school?

so i actually have a LOT of theories/ideas about this! i definitely think he was, because it's almost to be expected that any minority (in any regard) has been bullied in school at some point, but i think it was probably significantly worse in elementary and middle school than it was in high school. partly because younger kids are meaner, and partly because i imagine he was a small and sickly kid from malnutrition and the abuse from zack and their father. but danny pudi is 6'0, and i imagine at some point in high school brad would have hit his growth spurt and all of a sudden he was towering over most of his classmates, so the bullying probably slowed or even stopped completely around that time. he was occasionally bullied after that for random things (being gay, being indian, being a smartass, being soft with bugs, etc), but mostly kids left him alone which he was grateful for.

danny pudi is the tallest of the main cast as well, so i'm going to headcanon that brad is insecure about his height because he was tormented for being small for so long as a young kid that now he has to be the tallest person in a room or he gets very self-conscious. tall people will always be more respected than shorter people by default, so he wants that respect to be directed toward him rather than anyone else. plus there's the underlying, subconscious fear of anyone taller than him, as most of his childhood bullies towered over him as did his father and brother until he outgrew both of them in his late teens and they started to back off because they realized he was big enough to actually fight back.

but basically to answer your question anon yeah i think he was most certainly bullied in high school, but not as severely as he was in elementary/middle school. this was a really good ask, thank you!! i love rambling about my headcanons LMAO

okay so if you think about it it’s still sunday in alaska and hawaii (i live in neither) meaning i DID in fact upload this chapter on the weekend. regardless chapter 16 is FINALLY up so here y’all go!

#mythic quest #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #fanfiction #ao3 #look okay. dont question it #this chapter wasnt really worth the wait imo but LOOK.#the next one will be #im bringing sexy back #and by sexy i actually mean angst

is wafwaf chp 16 being posted today?

okay so i was worried id have to reply to this with a string of apologies and a million excuses but tonight i forced myself to sit down and write even though i had no idea how to continue the chapter from where i left off but i FINALLY got it and YES it will be uploaded in like an hour or two >:) it's TECHNICALLY not the weekend anymore but shhhh it counts

#asks answered #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #catch me speedrunning this chapter #now im editing it and then ill be uploading it!

(giggling, blushing, covering my face) new wafwaf chapter in progress or what...?!

i gotta say. this is definitely one of my weirder asks LMAO

the next chapter will prooooooobably be released sunday solely because im only halfway through and wont have a chance to work on it tonight or tomorrow afternoon because im going to repticon. so it really depends! as i said before, weekends (friday-sunday) are my new upload schedule, to hopefully give myself some more cushioning so that im never stressed about uploading a chapter on a specific day each week :-)

#asks answered #we are fleeting we are feeling #wafwaf #wafwaf update #as much as i do appreciate any and all asks #i promise im not going to just forget about this fic LOL #ill always upload another chapter regardless of whether or not i get any asks about it!#i do appreciate the excitement though
