im always furthering my disabled robert agenda
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
The small voice in your head that says: "I don't need to write down every small detail of this plot idea, I love it so much, I'll remember this."
That's the devil speaking.
he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. let’s get some natural consequences in here.
give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.
while we’re at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.
Im doing my usual 'jotting down random notes as the thoughts come to me' that I do as part of the beginning of my creative process, and this has to be one of the silliest things I have ever written.
*writes two paragraphs after months of literally nothing and it took three hours*
Robert Robertson absolutely gnashing, biting into an ice cream sandwich with the full force of his front teeth meanwhile Flambae is viscerally cringing just looking at him because he has sensitive teeth :( also maybe still some unpleasant memories about losing his front tooth
Tips for Writing Comas!
Your character has been in a coma for three weeks and just woke up, said something profound, recognised everyone in the room, and will be walking by next chapter. i love you. i respect your commitment to the plot. but i need you to sit down because we have to talk about what the human body actually does when it's been unconscious for three weeks.
⊹ Waking from a coma is not waking up. it is a gradual, nonlinear process that can take days or weeks. there's no moment where the eyes open and the person is back. there are stages: responses to pain, then to voice, then to commands, then inconsistent awareness, then windows of consciousness that come and go. Your character might recognise someone they love and then have no memory of it an hour later. the people waiting at the bedside have to live in that uncertainty for a very long time.
⊹ Muscle atrophy is immediate and significant. after one week of immobility, you lose a measurable percentage of muscle mass. after three weeks? your character cannot sit up unaided. they cannot stand. their legs do not work the way they used to and getting them to work again involves weeks of painful physiotherapy. They will not be walking to the window to look meaningfully at the sky. They will be trying to hold a cup without dropping it.
⊹ Cognitive effects are real and unpredictable. memory gaps. difficulty concentrating. words disappearing mid-sentence. personality changes that might be temporary or might not be. your character waking up is the beginning of finding out who they are now, which parts came back intact and which parts are different in ways that can't be fixed by time or willpower. The person who walked in is not quite the same person who wakes up.
⊹ The psychological experience of the people who were waiting is also almost never written properly. you visited someone unconscious every day for three weeks and talked to them and held their hand and made decisions about their care and lived in a sustained state of grief and hope at the same time. and then they wake up. and you're supposed to be relieved. and you are relieved. but you're also exhausted in a way nobody is acknowledging, and slightly angry in a way you can't justify, and you've changed too while they were gone. the reunion is complicated. Write the complicated.
⊹ What the coma patient experiences, if anything, is genuinely unknown. some people report nothing. some report vivid dream-like states they can't distinguish from memory. some report hearing voices around them, including things said at the bedside that were never meant for them. Your character might have three weeks of false memories they believe are real. They might have heard something they weren't supposed to hear. they woke up knowing something about the people in that room that those people don't know they know.
I’m having enrichment time in my enclosure in the form of excessive biochemical anatomy & physiology research as applied to our favorite flaming homosexual, I was interested in examining how his powers work in addition to what realistic drawbacks are to his power usage similar to the drawbacks Chase experienced, please enjoy!

writing isn’t hard it’s just emotionally devastating and time-consuming and requires full body possession by an idea
#'you just sit at a typewriter and bleed' hemingway you poetic asshole it's way harder than that #you gotta force the blood out of your veins without ever lifting a knife #through sheer force of will (@aethersea)
characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."
Also my breakfast which is another staple dish people have Flambae cook, this one is consistently faster to make and a really hearty dish- Shakshuka
Remember to feed your dispatcher calorically dense foods
i made it!!
however i may have cooked it a lil too long. mine was more coagulated and less soupy, so to speak, and eggs are my nemesis when it comes to cooking them except by themselves.
but it was still delicious!!
This is why I read the reddit comments
I love how the notes for this are just chock full of examples of the most batshit specific things people research for their fanfics. Truly a treasure trove.
Some of my favorites
And my absolute fav
Thinking more about the feral robert AU, and honestly, I think Robert has to have bitten Flambae's fingers off. I'm sorry, but there's no other way. Robert being a biter is such a big part of his alternate role of Stray, and it makes sense because I can imagine the pain and shock would have been enough for Flambae to theb do that burn damage to his back.
Which in turn makes it all that funnier when Prism realizes Flambae is falling for him and is like, "Really!?! That one?! The man who acts like he hasn't had basic human interaction since birth, who literally bit your fucking fingers off! That's the man you want!?" She lives her bestie and is greatful he helped her keep away from the Red Ring but, good lord, have some standards.
I didn't draw anything for weeks but I really wanted to do something for the villain!robert and henchman! Flambae AU I had, so!!
