introducto vesporio

no idea what that second word means. anyway.

welcome to my pinned post. I have one of these, now. assumedly it's for tags. and fandoms. but who really knows? maybe I'll add something else. don't ask me what.

fandoms I write for: - hermitcraft - the life series - mcu (specifically spider-man) previously wrote for dsmp. I may every so often post unfinished bits of those, but we'll see.

general tags #speaking #answering #writing #posting

story tags #oc universe #watcher mimic au #car crash au #hamlet au #omori au

other tags #speechless - reblogs #polling - polls #arting - fanart of fics #updating - new chapters/fics in series #february - febuwhump/fluff

ask me about things. send me asks. I love to talk. don't ever be shy or anxious I will treat your ask like it is a little gift of wonder and beauty because it is.

even at the bottom of the ocean, we can't see eye to eye

“You don’t listen, Gem!” Her first mate shouts, long brown hair whipping around her face. The captain has told her over a dozen times she should pull it back, but the first mate rarely listens. “You jump in headfirst without coming up with a plan, and it explodes in your face! Every time, Gem! And yet you keep doing it, as if it’s the first! You never think things through!” The first mate looks angry. Furious, even. It takes a lot to get the first mate riled up. Normally, she’s the hotheaded one, always quick to act on emotion, while her second in command is calm, cool, and collected. Easily flustered, maybe, but not easily angered. It’s almost as though they’ve switched roles. How strange, the captain thinks to herself.

or, pearl and gem are at sea, and a storm approaches.

hey guys what if all the life series winners were in a really bad car crash and scar was the only one who survived and he keeps seeing shadows out of the corner of his eye and thinking it's them

[kaslynspeaksless]

happy one year to the ccau bomb squad

saw a woman comforting her sobbing child saying “i already told you, you have to keep looking forward, looking back just gets you hurt” and i thought she was sharing a beautiful life lesson about the importance of letting go of regret and resentment. but it turns out the kid just wasn’t looking where he was going and ran into a wall

Two things can be true.

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

uh oh the girls are fighting

[kaslynspeaksless]

symbolic bc scar feels like grian has abandoned him

[kaslynspeaksless]

[kaslynspeaksless]

thinking about uhmm. our town. like the end part where they let her go back for a little bit and she tries to tell her family that she's dead but they can't hear her bc that's not how it happened, that's not how the memory goes, and they can only react in that way because that is the only script they were ever given

[meanao3thoughts]

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

ok so the other night I had an idea for an alt version of the coming home scene, I was like "oh that could be cool I'll type it out" because it's good to go down other avenues and explore ways your story could play out

only now I've been writing it for a few days now and it's good. it's really good. I've gotten farther along in the timeline with this than I have with the other (which I started like six months ago btw). Only I also really liked the other one I thought it was really good and kind of important but I really like this one and if you can't tell I'm losing my mind a little bit over it

[kaslynspeaksless]

I ended up going with the second one. Which... kind of sucked, tbh, because like I said that first one I've been holding onto for literal months now. But the second one flows a lot better (and is a lot less dramatic), and sometimes that's just how writing goes
