Cassius @melancholiadreams - Tumblr Blog

Pinned

My name is Cassius, I'm 19 years old and am a huge literacy lover. I love literature, books, poems, stories, etc. I'm a writer, original works (books & poems), and I write fanfic as well! I've been reading and writing literally since I first started learning how to do both things– They're both a huge hobby of mine and bring me so much joy in life. I created this blog to post my work and for others to share if they take part in reading it. I don't know what else to really add but I'm an introvert and tend to stick to myself; I have adhd and some other mental problems, writing and reading are coping mechanisms for me besides being a hobby of mine. I would love to make some friends here in the writing community, it's not my first time here but it's been a few years since I've been around. I don't mind if you send asks but be nice, questions are welcome as well! I do read literally everything, ranging from history and science to romantasy, smut, dark romance, monster romance, etc. While my writing is mainly romantasy, fantasy, dark romance, smut, monster romance, aus, etc of other stuff.

My F/O (for years): Jeremy Gilbert <3 (Nonsharing)

~ If you claim to be an f/o of Jeremy (or like him romantically or sexually period) stay the hell away from me I do not want you around me and I do not like you. If you ship Jeremy x Vicki, Jeremy x Anna, Jeremy x Bonnie or Jeremy x anyone STAY AWAY FROM ME TOO.

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

Advice on Endings

I hate ending my stories. I will drag a story on long after it should have ended even though I know it should be done with. If anyone else struggles as well, here is a list of the different types of endings that are common.

Full Circle – Mirror the beginning of the story, show how the tone has shifted from start to end

Bittersweet – Character wins at the cost of something else, creates emotional depth

Emotional resolution – Focuses more on the growth of the characters than the events of the story

Twist – reveal something that changes the readers perspective or understanding

Open – doesn’t answer all the questions or solve all the conflicts of the story, leaving room for interpretation

Quiet – Subtle, reflective ending rather than a dramatic event

Sacrifice – The character has to give something up to achieve a greater goal

Hopeful – Despite the events of the story, there is a distinct sense that everything will be okay

Consequence – Shows how the characters choices throughout the story impact the world or their relationship

Character choice – centers on a decision that defines who the character has become through the story

hi! >﹒< i just wanted to say how much i absolutely adore ur blog. › ༝ ‹ ⸜̑⸝͂ genuinely, it's helped me come to terms with the fact that it's okay to write the things i wanna write, regardless of what anyone else thinks. i love writing really dark, disturbing, and "gross" fanfics, and for a very long time, i felt like i had to be ashamed of that, y'know.. ?? seeing ur posts on my dash and ur perspective has honestly been such a comfort to me, and i'm sure that others feel the exact way. ⸜̑⸝͂

u're such a positive light in the fanfiction community, and i can't thank u enough for all of the kindness, encouragement, and reassurance that u give to all writers. thank u for reminding people that fiction is and always will be fiction, and that it's completely okay to explore difficult, taboo, or uncomfortable subjects through writing w/o having to justify ourselves to anyone! ꒰ ´͈ ᵕ `͈𓏼 ྀིᥩ꒱

whether it's abuse, noncon, cannibalism, or any other dark topic, u've helped so many of us writers feel less alone and less afraid of creating what genuinely inspires us. i'm so incredibly grateful for everything that u and ur blog do for the writing community, and i just wanted u to know that ur words have made a real difference to me! thank u so, so much. ⸜̑⸝͂

this is very kind of you! thank you very much! truly. I really appreciate your kind words and they mean so much to me. thank you again. I hope you have an amazing day ♡♡♡♡

I don't remember if you're part of the ao3 admins but I saw that you know the site well so I wanted to ask: a registered user commented my fic by spamming their Discord account (i checked their profile and it's almost empty, and it's been created yesterday). The comment kind of looks ai generated because it copy-pasted some parts of my summary and completely missed the point of my fic, but in the remote case in which this is a real person I didn't want to be rude in my reply. I mostly told them not to spam their account under my fic. Do you know if there's any way to verify if this is a bot or to report the comment? I can easily do it to guests but this time it's a registered account so idk

short answer: this is the most common kind of bots that have been plaguing ao3 lately.

bots don't necessarily have to be guest users only. a lot of them are from registered accounts too.

I am not a part of ao3 admins, but ao3 has been dealing with a bot problem as of late (and they're very open about it).

basically, any comment that mentions discord, instagram, or any social media platform, is almost definitely a bot. so you can block and report them.

if you want to know more about them, they're a group of scammers — they try to get people to contact them outside of ao3, where they will then try to get you to commission them / give them your money somehow. they have to ask you to contact them outside of ao3 because 1. they know this type of conversation (anything that involves money) is strictly forbidden on ao3 and chances are that they'll get banned if they have this conversation with you directly on ao3 2. they want the conversation to be one-on-one, so no one else can see the conversation and warn you or report them.

if you contact them on discord, they'll most definitely say they want to draw fan art or a comic panel of your work — but they will not do it for free. you'll have to commission them. if you give them your money, chances are that at best, you won't get anything in return and they'll just disappear (or you'll get something ai-generated that definitely isn't worth the money you paid), at worst, you'll get your personal information leaked somehow.

there are more of these bots. I've talked more about them here, you can check it out if you want. so you know what to look for.

The urge to write a borderline abusive, girl kisser wlw story because I can is aching in my bones.

‘A hates everyone but B’

A accompanies B to a concert and just stands there with a grumpy expression like a bodyguard while their eyes soften watching B

grumpy in public, super affectionate in private

distrust towards strangers

B is instantly beloved by A’s family

nobody else quite understands because to them it seems like A is just kind of a dickhead

introvert x extrovert

“Can we leave?” murmured into B’s ear every 10 or so minutes when socialising

B actually getting annoyed and exhausted with A's tendencies because sometimes it, by proximity, makes B look like kind of an asshole

⋆ · 𖤓 · ⋆ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄 ··· a collection of soup gone cold and blankets shared, the intimacy of being cared for when you are at your worst. genre: romance, hurt and comfort, soft angst, domestic.

You're burning up. Don't argue with me. Get back in bed.

I made soup. It's not great. Eat it anyway.

You should have called me the moment you started feeling like this.

Stop trying to get up. There is nothing on this earth that needs you upright right now.

I found three blankets and a hot water bottle. Pick your combination.

You look terrible. I mean that with so much love.

Let me take your temperature. Stop being difficult about the thermometer.

I cancelled everything. Don't apologize. I wanted to be here.

You fell asleep mid-sentence. I stayed anyway. I hope that's okay.

Drink the tea. Yes, all of it. I'll make more.

I've been checking on you every hour. You keep telling me to go home. I keep not going.

Your voice sounds awful. Rest it. We can talk tomorrow.

I'm not going anywhere. Stop thanking me for staying.

You hate being taken care of. I know. Do it for me anyway.

The fever broke. I don't think you know how relieved I am right now.

Sleep. I'll be right here. I'll wake you up if anything changes.

I brought your favourite thing from the place on the corner. Don't cry. Please don't cry.

You're a terrible patient and somehow I still want to be the one doing this.

I know you think you're being a burden. You are not a burden.

Let me sit with you. I don't need to talk. I just don't want you to be alone.

You tried to make your own tea and you could barely stand up. Sit down. I've got it.

I've seen you strong. This doesn't make you weak. It just makes you human.

You smell like fever and you still somehow look like everything to me.

Lay your head here. Right here. I've got nowhere I need to be.

I brought every movie you've ever mentioned. We have time.

You're mumbling in your sleep. I'm not going to tell you what you said.

I changed the sheets while you were in the shower. Don't make it weird.

You need to eat something real. I know you don't want to. Eat something real.

I've been sitting in this chair for four hours. I'd do it four more.

Stop apologizing for being sick. People get sick. Let me help you.

Your hands are cold. Give them here. I'll warm them up.

I found the medicine in the back of the cabinet. Take it. All of it. Don't negotiate.

You're not inconveniencing me. Taking care of you is exactly where I want to be.

I didn't know you got like this when you were sick. Softer. I like knowing this about you.

You asked for me. Out of everyone, you asked for me. I haven't stopped thinking about that.

The heating pad is on the lowest setting. Tell me if you need it warmer.

I'm not leaving until your temperature is normal. Make your peace with that.

You cried a little when the soup was too hot to eat yet. I pretended not to notice.

I've never seen you let anyone take care of you before. I'm honoured. I mean that.

Your hair is a mess. Can I? Is that okay? Let me just — there.

You keep saying you're fine every time I check and you are so obviously not fine.

This is the third night in a row. I'm not going anywhere. Stop looking at me like that.

You're delirious and still trying to be funny. It's working. Please stop, I'm worried about you.

I learned how to make your mother's recipe. It took three attempts. Don't tell her.

There's nowhere I'd rather be than right here, even like this. Especially like this.

You always take care of everyone else. Just this once, let someone take care of you.

I left the light on in the hall in case you woke up scared. I remember you mentioned that once.

I'm here. I've got you. Just rest. Everything else can wait.

words-and-whispers

At 9 tonight (CDT), look toward the western sky if you get the chance. Jupiter and Venus will be side by side after sunset, and I wanted someone else to look at it with me.

They'll be about three fingers above the horizon.

That is awesome!

I shall try to remember hopefully it won't be too cloudy and if I see ANYTHING sorta round dotish I will assume I did good.

I hope you capture some great pics of it with your telescope.
