She/They, 23 | I'm probably not writing, actually. Drinking Coffee? Maybe sleeping.....Probably sleeping. Occasionally draws stuff. | HP, PJO, DC, MCU, BNHA & MP100 are all cool things I sometimes post for
“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.
THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS
It’s All Greek to Me, Chapter 5 is up! (PJO x SPN)
Sam, what are you doing back in the POV lineup again??
"Sucks to hear about the grill rub, Sump." Percy said, feigning a commiserating tone. Sam had the distinct feeling that if it weren't dangerous (and ridiculously gross), Percy would also be patting the monster's back to sell it.
Sump, for his part, sighed deeply, eybrow furrowed over his singular, bloodshot eye while he watched the other two cyclopes finish loading up the fire-to-be with wooden boards and broken pallets. Sam openly gaped as the monster spared Percy half a glance, looked away, and then nodded sadly to itself.
"Thank you, Perseus Jackson. I will have to get some more."
Sam's brows furrowed at the familiar name. Hadn't the monsters mentioned it just a few minutes ago? Percy nodded along, and his eyebrows rose with mischief as the two fell into an oddly companionable silence. The teen even shot Sam a look, as if to ask him 'can you fucking believe this?'
And no, Sam could not believe it.

You might be wondering why this has "Tumblr Community Edition".
Well... The Cozy Cove is actually originally (and still is) a Discord server! That server went live all the way back in February 2025. (/dram).
We are a place dedicated to having a chill escape from life, hyping up creativity, and harboring a great multifandom space. This includes, but is not limited to,
Server Specific Events
Sharing out other events from a multitude of a menagerie of fandoms
Supporting new artists, crafters, and writers in their journey into creativity
Quoting each other on the uh interesting things that are said
Creating for the Rarities (pairings, dynamics, tropes, fandoms)
And many other wild yet cozy things.
Hopefully, we can bring that here to this tumblr space as well.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, consider not throwing away your shot and ease on down the road(s) ahead! (/refs)

When everything is embarrassing, that’s a sign that your passion is waking up, and it wants more. Your desire is a tender sprout that wants more water, more sunshine. It wants you to give up on SEEMING happy and in control and to start FEELING joy instead, even when it feels a little too big, even when it makes you cry, even when it forces you to question where you are and why.
Passion and desire and shame and sadness don’t signal that you have to change everything immediately, though. These are sensations that don’t require solutions. Your primary job, in the face of renewed lust for life, is to tolerate the shame of joy.
Because embarrassment is sometimes just a sign that you’ve never lived out in the open before, you’ve never cared more about a feeling than you care about how you’re coming across, you’ve never prioritized happiness over control.
This is why it’s good to take risks that might embarrass you regularly. Because every time you dare to embarrass yourself for the sake of who you are, you’re teaching your body to prioritize joy. You’re teaching yourself to let go of seeming better than the things you love. You’re showing yourself how to feel where you are — to soak in the cool fall air, to breathe in the moon, to love every lopsided moment of your glorious, flawed life.

Hello peeps! We are once again going to be tracking the server's creative progress throughout the month of May.
The basis is the same. In the Cove Cove Discord, members will place their submissions into the directed channel to show their productivity. This can be Writing, Artwork, Schoolwork, and any timed endeavor. All you have to do is follow the pinned format and show proof.
The way we are "switching" it up this year is that the mods will be coming up with milestones to hit. The server as a whole will work toward hitting them. Upon release, there are 4 milestones featured for every category.
"What are the categories?" You ask politely.
Categories:
- Single Fandom
- Crossovers
- Schoolwork (Word Count Based)
- Artwork
- Misc (Time Based)
Anyone is allowed to join and you can do as little or as much as you please. No pressure!
Further information can be found in the discord! We can’t wait for you to join the event!!!! Happy “May Day” and good luck!
Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder/PSA from your friendly neighborhood Pixiemage!
“Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” is too often (incorrectly) used as a cover-all tag, on fics ranging from Vaguely Uncomfortable to Serious Shit, as a replacement for any intense tags relating to the story. People will use it to say “Holy shit guys some INTENSE SHIT happens in this story” without actually saying what that Intense Shit™ is.
In actuality, the “Dead Dove” tag is meant to be used in addition to other warning tags. Pulled from a scene from the show Arrested Development (look it up on YouTube!), it means “Hi! Hey! I labeled this fic to warn you of what’s in it, so you might REALLY want to read those labels! This fic is exactly what it says on the tin! The tags are accurate! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because this is me warning you! Read the tags!”
So before you accidentally use the “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag without context, here’s your preemptive lesson for next time. Please tag your fics accordingly! Ta!
As a fanfic reader, I absolutely have a phone browser chock full of ao3 TBR's. I have a browser window on my laptop, *also* chock full of ao3 tabs. That's like... a given.
But sometimes, writing fanfiction will have the weirdest things tucked in between those tabs and wherever the docs I'm writing on are. I just closed 5 tabs of abandoned meatpacking plant photos. I still have two.
