god i’m in a pit. should i reread erasure poem… is that what i should do….

[clytemnestraaa]

i don’t mean to be rude, i genuinely don’t understand what people mean that those fics i recced aren’t lighthearted? how can you possibly write something that includes no tension? like what even occurs on the page? what does a tensionless plot even look like? like there’s smut where the plot is sex. and there’s crack which is a funny idea that you’re slapping character names onto with no expectation of characterization, it’s just an SNL skit with character names added on top. then there’s like social media fic where all tension is implied and the medium is kind of inherently humorous. but if you’re not writing porn or crack or a social media fic. how can you have no tension…?

sometimes my Beloved Mutuals will rb a post about a certain character archetype and i will have to physically restrain myself from saying “yeah you would say that wouldn’t you”

[gumy-shark]

jasper you don’t get to get away with this that easily.

new ask game: what’s the character archetype that makes you go “of course you would say that” when i post about it?

there’s something so endearing and relieving about an author you love and adore and consider like superhumanly skilled and talented publishing something that’s like. not that good. it’s always like oh thank god.

hi! do you happen to have a link to the paint eating fic? tyyy

ya

I followed you because you have literally the mandate of heaven when it comes to heated rivalry thoughts. You continue being right. You thoroughly distracted me from my senior creative writing thesis. You make me want to be a smarter, better writer. You are so cool it's crazy.

call me the anti-malala…. thank you though that’s so so sweet. hope you got that thang done eventually. unless it was a sci fi novel about a genderqueer space pirate who robin hoods the mega corps with their scrappy band of found family, i am really done with those.

ilya would love to start a proprietary sauce brand after retirement. like a pink sauce situation where the CFIA gets involved.

[clytemnestraaa]

what do you think is the most minor/mundane thing that could trigger like a Getting Put On Mood Stabilizers/Suicide Watch, Horror Show Trauma Getting Everywhere And On Everything Oh No, Contender For Worst Mental Breakdown Of All Time Maybe The Worst Anyone's Ever Done It level episode in ilya. out of curiosity. also thank you for posting the paint eating fic link 10/10 literature

i mean in my experience it’s kind of more like the rockslide is building at the top of the mountain and then just some random pebble sets it off. so like. it could be anything. ilya loses a game. he has a bad dream. he sprains his wrist. he has a fight with svetlana. shane gets incredibly anxious and says something mean. it could be any stressor.

but it’s definitely hitting a squirrel with his car.

do you have any light-hearted fic recs? Canon or au either is fine

you are really truly deeply asking the wrong person. i have… porn that isn’t super depressing. that’s about it. actually the one lighthearted fic rec would be something annoying this way comes by anonymous. and then not totally lighthearted but just not particularly distressing:

how diabolical of a fic rec are you open to people sending you? if you are open to fic recs at all

love fic recs! however if anyone recs me parental incest or beastiality or explicit things involving children they get blocked. otherwise have at it anything goes
