I keep trying to do lower stakes stuff so I can get over the writer's block I'm having for Astral Chill (I have like five scenes planned but I can't figure out what order to put them in, fucking kill me) but my brain's also so scraped from ideas that I am just playing tuoys until I can get it together

I believe the best way to deal with writer's block in one story is to do one that has nothing to do with it lmao, so now I'm doing this. No idea how long it'll go, but hopefully it'll be short. Outwardly queer Rick and Morty for the winnn

Experiencing the Danny Phantom fanfic rite of passage by extensively researching where they do incisions in medical emergencies and getting less and less answers while the search engine sends me more and more pleas to contact a helpline

#prev there is a channel!#it's called institute of human anatomy#it's a private cadaver lab#I don't know the details of how they operate#so I have no idea how other medical professionals feel about it#but I am aware of it#I have a textbook from when I was a student#that has medical illustrations on one side of the page and cadavers on the other#very helpful

Ooooh! Thank you @uncannyfig!

putting prev's tags up for other people to see who also do Danny Phantom fanfic! I've been studying veterinary medicine and that's the main thing I've been using for ghost biology research since I prefer them to be more animalistic, but this is a resource I'll definitely be using from now on

I noticed I've become very comfortable in what I've been writing recently, and I don't think doing the same thing over and over leads to improvement, so I wanted to try a different way of planning and writing a fic than what I usually do.

Happy disability pride month I needed to rant about how much I hate changing lightbulbs

[bravehyde]

maybe I WANTED to be sick, did you think of that? When I got up today and had full body shivers and chattering teeth and a spinning universe, I said to myself, “this is great for research, because now I can make The Character severely ill for emotional drama.” Maybe it was all a part of my plan. Maybe this means when I’m curled around a peanut butter jar because it’s the only protein I can keep down, I’m actually doing very important writing work. This is just a key piece of the process that will make an incredible author’s note

I get back from vacation and my writing program has added a million new things I don't understand...this is fuckin scary please take me back to classic

[bravehyde]

man I keep thinking about how much work I put in the symbolism of Phantom vs. Plasmius’s eye designs and now I want to make a whole post on just that and how I drew from ecology and speculative evolution but I don’t actually know if people are interested in how much research I put in these designs

[bravehyde]

going on vacation where I'm not allowed to write thing, so I may not have anything else to post until the end of the month. Until then, I sit and wait and try not to die of inactivity

[bravehyde]

Tucker gets to sleep

New chapter before I go on vacation!

[bravehyde]

What I should be doing with my fanfic tonight: editing the newest chapter, tweaking dialogue, going back to previous chapters to make sure the progression's solid

What I'm doing instead: making my redesign in the Restitched Demo as a marketable plushie

[bravehyde]

The reason why I put so much effort into alien Danny and cryptid Vlad is because I really really like learning about animal biology and now that I'm getting schooling for it I get to research for the fic AND be "productive" at the same time this is like crack to me

It also makes me want to make a series of posts about my decisions in their designs and how they "work" to help them blahhhh

[bravehyde]

Since I've received so much fanart for Astral Chill (THANK YOU!!!) I've slightly changed how I list it on the fic. Originally I had them all placed at the end as well as the link to my tumblr, now I've backdated them to be placed at the end of the notes of whatever chapter was newest whenever the fanart was posted. I didn't want to lump everyone together and I thought it would also make for a good treat for the people reading.

[bravehyde]

These characters are as tired as I feel

New chapter of Astral Chill! I had to cut it short because they were wearing me outtt with their questions and I was like okay no more. Go to bed. It is so early in the morning for you.

[bravehyde]

what they don’t tell you about making a schedule when you’re a fulltime independent contractor who’s doing online school and a fanfic writer is you never have time for any of those things. :)

I'm BEGGING Danny to eat some food this chapter, and we get some conversations nobody wants to have! Yay!

[bravehyde]

since I recently hit one million words on my account, I thought it'd be fun to make a pie chart of all the fandoms I've written for. Some of these are not surprising at all if you know me but a few of these I stare at and wonder why the fuck I did that, but oh well. I really hope a few of these overtake some others soon, or that I get to add more slices once I have less WIPs on the backburner!
