Heya, still kicking. Real life has gotten pretty hectic, I'm doing an internship right now and don't have that much time. I scroll through tumblr regularly, but I'm hesitant to reblog stuff cause... I dunno, I still feel like I owe people my writing, even though I know I don't. I wish I was able to write, work on my WIPs, because looking at how long ago I last posted any writing bums me out. Sadly I just haven't had the energy.

Anyway, love you guys, thanks for sticking around.

honestly shoutout to high-concept whump. whump that involves heavy worldbuilding or only makes sense in the context of the setting, whump that incorporates fantastical or sci-fi elements. and SPECIAL shoutout to everyone who writes it, because it can be so difficult to keep track of and explain everything but it's so cool once you get everything in place.

New REBLOG Game

Just fucking lie about the previous poster

[a-mel0n]

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

[dancingstarling]

Oh no :(

I realised I have the power to draw fanarts of my own fic so you get young Robert making a huge mistake :)

[hugh-lauries-bald-spot]

whats a stereotype for your country that you absolutely do. mine is that i unironically go "eh" and apologize a lot and i often drink maple syrup straight

[snakebites-and-ink]

TBH I hate how some people here "correct" unrealistic whump.

I know torture doesn't work for getting information. I know that's not really how conditioning affects people. I know hypnosis isn't really mind control. I KNOW.

[snakebites-and-ink]

And I wouldn't mind informational posts on the subject, but so often they're written as if everyone doing this is doing it out of ignorance and not personal preference or enjoyment, like the poster cannot fathom that some people choose to write unrealistic tropes just because they like it. As if their way is the only valid one.

Don't come into spaces that love a trope to tell them their trope is nonsense, and definitely don't go reblog someone else's post just to "erm actually" it (when they're talking about fiction, obvs if they're presenting misinformation as an irl fact that's another story). Either suspend disbelief or keep it to yourself. We are playing with touys, not doing a case study.

You do not have to and should not have to put a disclaimer every time you create or engage with something that doesn't reflect how people work in real life. I thought separation of fiction and reality was like a core tenet of whump.

[snakebites-and-ink]

People really be like "I can excuse fiction with magic but I draw the line at unrealistic psychology."

[whumpologyy]

What does your Whumpee think of their pre-whump self?

They pity them

They envy them

They make them angry

They mourn them

They don’t remember them

They'll do anything not to

[kira-the-whump-enthusiast]

I’m planning to make a survey on gender dynamic preferences in whump, so I wanted to get some idea of what questions I should ask!

What’s your favorite gender dynamic in whump and why do you like it? Conversely, what’s your least favorite and why do you dislike it?

(Judgment free zone btw)

[b0amagination]

Well, shit.

Pack it up everyone! No more blogs!

People always say they want a rival until they have one. Actually having a rival fucking sucks. Now I constantly have to deal with the fact I can't defeat that bitch. She pisses me off so bad. Worst part is how oblivious she is, she doesn't even know she's doing it. I wanna wipe that smile off her face once and for all. I wanna make her bow down and recognize I'm better than her. That piece of shit. I should kill her. Or fuck her

[geneticdriftwood]

honestly? abandoned/on indefinite hiatus/very slow to update fics, even and especially AUs and longfics, are often some of my absolute favorites. and people who refuse to read them are missing out!

for one, stories don’t have to be finished to be enjoyable and worth reading. but also? an unfinished fic is a whole little universe that just keeps on existing in my head! their world stays alive for me in a way that doesn’t always happen with fics I binge read and finish, and i love it. i don’t know how their story ends, so it just keeps going! and even when those stories DO update and finish years later, they’ve been in my head for so long that they stick around like old friends.

so to any author with unfinished works: thank you SO much for sharing what you had without waiting to finish it first. you’re just giving me the gift of getting to spend more time with your story and your idea. if you do update again someday, i’ll be delighted to jump back in! but if you don’t, just know a little piece of your world still lives on in a beloved tiny terrarium in my brain. i promise i’m taking good care of it :)

i don’t normally ask this, but if this resonates with you please reblog it, so it can reach the authors who need to hear it <3
