I’ve locked in on my Iron Lung related projects so any other projects I have going on (YouTube videos, writing, etc) are on pause probably until after I see the movie (January 31 and Feb 1)

Will post them when I finish them (ideally on movie day but it depends)

#hi this is me from my main blog #don’t have anything to post here yet for the movie #but don’t be surprised if I gain motivation from it #the only things I’ll have are a drawing and crochet thing

So I was going to write a little oneshot for Christmas but I ran short on time so here’s a few Tenna thoughts I had (Christmas related) (and a couple Defernull Tenna thoughts at the end)

- He has a sweater that looks just like his usual suit (minus the coattails). You find this adorable (as you should)

- He would LOVE to make breakfast with you on Christmas morning. He can show you the butterscotch pancake recipe he picked up from heading Toriel make it! Tenna’s terribly nostalgic, so it isn’t surprising that he wants to share that with you. Just, keep an eye on him while he’s making them. It should be fine (since it isn’t baking), but it’s better to be safe than sorry

- He absolutely would try to make the entirety of winter feel a little like a romcom you’d see on TV (especially during January when there’s usually nothing to look forward to). He’ll tone it down if you ask, but he still wants the season to feel special. Especially if you have seasonal depression and tend to be down around the holidays. (He will listen if you say you need a little alone time. He’s not the best with being patient and he will miss you even if you’re only gone for a few minutes, but he’ll wait. He wants you to be happy, after all)

- He’ll adore any gift you get him. YOU got it for him, after all. If you give him something handmade, he’ll cry. (They’re tears of joy, I promise!)

- He likes to spoil you with his presents. But if you say you’d prefer something smaller, he’ll hold himself back the best he can. He also will make sure that at least one thing he gets you is not his own merchandise. But he does like to gift you TV Time merch. You look fantastic in the branded clothes

- Tenna believes in Santa Claus. You honestly probably don’t even know this until he directly asks you why Santa doesn’t visit your house. He thinks you should be on the “ULTRA nice list”, after all. Pretty much everything he’s ever aired has involved Santa being real, and no one ever told him otherwise. It’s okay. You can tell him. He’ll only be sad for a minute. He’s at least comforted that Santa doesn’t have a personal vendetta against you

Also you know Defernull Tenna (I’ll call him Ant)? I also have some thoughts on him:

- He does not like the idea of making the winter season feel like a romcom. At all. He’d rather have his legs cleaved off. …maybe he wouldn’t mind too much if it’s just with you, though. But you’ll never hear him say that out loud.

- Ant doesn’t like to wear silly Christmas sweaters. Most of the time he’s just in a modified version of his usual suit (the only difference is this one has a little silver embroidery and it exists solely because viewer retention is higher when the show is themed after the nearest holiday. That being said, the suit looks nice)

- Do not let this man in the kitchen. He’ll use a chainsaw to cut the food. If you hide his chainsaw it’ll go fine. He’ll just sulk a little while you both make breakfast together (it’s mostly performative though)

- 99% of the presents he gives you are his own merchandise. Especially clothes. He likes seeing you wearing his merch. He’ll only really start to get you non-TV Time branded things after you’ve been in a relationship for a while

- If you give him something handmade, he’ll damn near short circuit. If anyone asks about the new thing on his desk in a tone that even vaguely implies he shouldn’t have it there, he’s throwing them in the piranha pool. He’ll like anything you get him, though (even if he’s not great at showing it)

- He’s still hesitant to show his flower, even around just you. He might try to not restrict it on Christmas (but he still may hold his nose out of habit)

- Ant also believes in Santa Claus. He won’t really be heartbroken if you tell him the truth, though. He doesn’t have much of an opinion on Santa except for the fact that he thinks it’s bullshit that you don’t get at least 30 presents every year. It suddenly makes sense once you explain

If this reads like me sorta still trying to figure out how to write Defernull Tenna, it’s because I kind of am (and I think I’m doing somewhat okay)

Merry Christmas :)

#and here’s my once about every six months or so thing I wrote #I love the various takes on tenna’s cooking and/or baking abilities #this isn’t very much but I’ve had these thoughts spinning in my head for a bit #the one I like is that he’s decent at cooking and can’t bake at all #rivvy writes #gaymingwriter #tenna x reader #tenna x you #defernull tenna x reader #I don’t really think that’s a tag people go to but I like categorization #I’m scared to put this in the main tags #originally I had an idea for a multi chapter fic for christmas #but I’m not used to writing those so I didn’t get very far #I’ll try to write it and post it next year because I still like the idea #I made the ‘legs cleaved off’ joke in other notes related to a different christmas fic idea #(it was for a defernull version of the multi chapter fic idea. except it was bullet points instead of a whole other story)#so if you see that again from me about a year from now that’s why

Okay here’s the plan:

If I can get enough of the Christmas Tenna fic done I’ll post a few in one day and label the days (which I’d do anyway because the days do not line up with the real days)

OR

I could post it next year (funnily enough the dates do line up for 2026) but I kinda don’t want to wait all that time so I’ll really try to figure this out

Also during some downtime where I don’t feel like working on any of my three things I’ve been writing down a bullet point version of a Defernull Tenna version of the story. I don’t really want to write out the full story (hey if I’m still into UTDR next year I might but no promises) (though I will most certainly still be into UTDR)

#for the record this is like a romcom ish story #and this does not change in the defernull version #rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

#problem is I have this and two other unrelated projects #one can technically wait and doesn’t have a strict deadline #but the other has a VERY strict deadline and it’s a crochet project #rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

I need to figure out how to get rid of the seasonal depression it’s giving me writers block

#I mean it also just generally sucks but the writers and art block are more important #rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

So the problem with writing or doing like any other creative thing while having a particularly bad day is that I’ll look at it and be physically unable to think anything but “this is terrible I should never do this again”. Which sucks when you want to do creative things related to feeling bad

#sorry to get too personal #but seasonal depression tends to hit me harder on some days #doesn’t help that it also tells me that no one will care #gaymingwriter #rivvy rambles

Kinda want to write a 12 days of “Christmas” kind of thing with Tenna (everyone at TV Time Studios celebrates a variety of holidays…but Tenna’s clearly just really into Christmas). I don’t know if this makes sense the way I’m describing it

And we aren’t going to worry about how the Dark World works. AU where the DW is just kinda there and not dependent on the Light World I guess

I’m about to write employee/boss romance like how Captaineer writers write it. My ISWM phase (which, to be clear, is still ongoing) has left a mark on me

#captaineer employee/boss is just like. yep they’re dating #it does not matter that they’re employee/boss #maybe they hide it from the crew (the crew probably knows anyway)#I think the reason for this difference is because the reader is the boss in captaineer vs with tenna we aren’t #gaymingwriter #rivvy rambles

I should screenshot and post my notes I write for stories that I don’t post because the notes aren’t necessary. Sometimes they’re funny. On the District Attorney lore fic I’m working on I have one note that just says, “You have trust issues now. Congratulations!”

#I was hit with writers block but I do hope to get the last little bit of that done that I want to get done before posting it #also I want to write a fic for the holidays #(probably will be most christmas but I won’t specify what holiday the reader actually celebrates)#gaymingwriter #rivvy rambles

#me not being able to describe it very well is why it’s not going in any tags #gaymingwriter #rivvy rambles

You know I should probably actually state that I won’t write smoking (probably. 100% wouldn’t write reader insert smoking; 99% chance I won’t write other characters smoking either). I might reference it happening or whatever but I just don’t like writing the actual smoking itself

Writing it makes me really uncomfortable personally

#rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

I’ve aged

#rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

I want to write birthday things

For…no reason

#rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

I kinda made myself so busy with projects that I overwhelmed myself with too many things

#I’m going to try to get something out by halloween but no promises #rivvy rambles #gaymingwriter

I’m changing my AO3 name. I’d prefer it to be the same as this account (don’t ask why it took me so long to figure it out)

It’s just gaymingwriter now (look, I came up with my original tumblr blog username when I was like 14. And I’m committed to it)

Also I should probably make my profile there better. Nothing too much but I feel weird not really having any bio

I have a DA lore story WIP that I’m kinda almost ready to post (I wanted to finish multiple parts before I posted one because I know myself)

But also posting writing is anxiety inducing

There’s also no real pairings in it so I’m not sure how to tag it on AO3 (some past yearning is kind of implied and one thing is kept vague but there’s nothing direct)
