im very active on my tgcf sideblog @girl-shiqingxuan this one is just for writing
The thing about a good character flaw is that it has to be the same thing as their greatest strength just turned up too high. the person who loves deeply and therefore controls. the person who sees everything and therefore trusts nothing. the person who is so loyal they lose themselves. there are no clean villains and no clean heroes and once you understand that in fiction you can't unsee it in people. everyone is just their best quality at the wrong volume.
(writes something) god this sucks so bad. this is awful. i'm the worst writer ever. this is nothing. (rereads it a while after writing it) oh dude this is fire. i'm the god of writing. (writes something again) god this sucks so bad. th
What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
u hear me chanting "bite the bul-let! bite the bul-let!" so you walk into the room i'm in to see wtf is going on and there's me, hunched over my laptop the same way ive been for the past 6 hours. three(3) sentences have been written in this time
If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.
Having a crush on someone when you have fucked up kinks is so embarrassing bc you’re just like “wow they’re so cute I want them to get off on the way I cry while they fuck me”
Also highly recommend looking thru the reblogs on this one cause so many people add their own versions, and the dom / sadist versions especially just fuckin tickle me. I love y’all bunch of perverts
writing a fic set in the modern day is crazy because i love sending characters to museums. so obviously i have to describe what they see and learn. therefore i have to use the internet to take mySELF on a tour of the real actual museum i am sending them to. bc i wouldn't want to give false info....?
its a modern au..... but somehow i'm still learning history ;-;

when I finish this fic I'm going to still post it with some time between chapters for people to digest (and I won't lie, I'm really excited to read comments as people react to each update☺️)
it'll probably end up between 10-15 chapters, with 5-10k words in each chapter... But I won't start posting it until it's completely finished
how long is ideal between updates?
1-2 days
3-5 days
1 week
something else (send me an ask or leave a comment !)
for Xie Lian scent, tbh i kinda think like... old wet spongy moss dirt, and some floral accents
Ahh true!! Thx for the idea ☺️ the only question I have is, do u think it would blend well with Hua Cheng's scent if his was like smoke? I'm worried the dry warmth of smoke and the wet coldness of moss would be too much like opposites, and wouldn't go together well.......
Outline(including some draft dialogue) for current WIP is 9 pages(12pt font, bullet points). Taking bets now 👂 how long do we think the finished product is gna be
