Hi! I'm NottherealApollo, and this is take two of me making a writing commissions post! With some changes.
First of all; Hi! I'm Luka, I am 19 years old, and I have a dream!
This dream wasn't discussed in my first commission post, as it wasn't that much of a concrete thing yet. But now? Ohohohoh do I know what I want!
I won't tell you what it is exactly, but it involves me needing to get a car and living out of my parents' house.
And, well... I've got no money to my name...
So, here I am, desperately shouting into the void to write something for you!
Now, all the info!

At 15, Izuku gets bitten by a spider. He'd already been told by All Might he couldn't be a hero without a quirk. He decides to become a vigilante when he realises that he can after he received powers from the spider bite. The UA Hero Course entrance exam had gone terrible, and with the too small amount of time he had between the hero exam and support and gen ed, Izuku didn't make it to UA.
His mom gets worried when she sees that her son has such dark and prominent eye bags, so she tries her best to support him and help him. She suspects something happened to him that day Katsuki was attacked, but she can't quite figure out what. But she also understands that Izuku needs space, especially after he got rejected from his dream course.
Izuku wants to tell his mom, he really does. He hates keeping secrets from her. But he knows that if he tells her, she'll just start getting worried and he doesn't want to worry her more than he already does. He loves her too much.
After the Sludge Villain Incident, Katsuki began to realise things.
He's scared to die. He doesn't want to die. At least not like that. Not yet. Not without telling his parents he loves them. No without telling Deku he's so sorry. And he doesn't want to die alone. He doesn't have real friends and the only person that ever came close to it he pushed him away.
So when he gets accepted into UA, with top score of 85 points— 77 villain points and 8 rescue points— he promises himself that he'll be better. He'll become the next number one hero but he'll make friends. He'll try harder to be kinder. To not push others away.
Katsuki feels bad. Deku didn't make it to UA. He didn't get to be a hero and now he doesn't get to be a hero duo with him. Wait who the fuck is this Spider-Man guy?? And why the hell does his voice sound so familiar?? Wait— DEKU?!
Katsuki is the first person to realise that Izuku is Spider-man
Aizawa is on Spider-Man's case and he knows he's a teenager
Inko is the second person to know Spider-Man's real identity
Shouto admires Spider-Man. He has a crush on him lmao
Spider-Man/Izuku tries to put to light Endeavor's acts
PLATONIC BKDK!!
This just a little something I had as an idea two years ago and am now going back to frfr
I absolutely adore Midoriya as Spider-Man guys.... I love it so much...
I'm hopefully gonna continue to like this idea enough to write more... altho no promises lol
I could also show my first ideas i had two years ago if anyone's interested! I'll use some of those ideas for it too!!

Hello and welcome to the second installment of me reading The Promised Neverland !
This is my "review" of volume 2!
Disclaimer;
I am reading it in French! which means that certain things may be different than the English version.
This is my first time reading it! But I do know certain things that happen. (as I never thought I'd read it and so i have watched/read stuff about it with spoilers)
This isn't an analysis! This is just me rambling about what I find interesting! So really don't expect much thought-out stuff!
This is slightly less all over the place as I was writing down my thoughts as I read! Altho this is the 'edited' version of my written first impression!
Sister Krone still giving me the creeps! Especially with this art style... it's wayy creepier than the anime, that's for sure!
The game of tag (or 'Loup' in French) is so intense! I've never played this intense of a game of tag before,,, mainly because i hated running (still do lmao)
Mention of Norman having a 'fragile constitution'... hmm.... I don't wanna say anything that may be wrong so imma shut up (for now)
RAY AND NORMAN ARE PLANNING TO KILL SISTER KRONE???? And maybe Isabella idk I didn't exactly understand.... guess i just gotta continue!
(a few minutes later)
NEVERMIND BAHAHAHAHAH
I just reax the next page and nope, they're not planning to kill either of them lmao.... Although Ray did think about it.
The reveal of there being a traitor!!! woohoo!!! I've been waiting for it!
I already know who it is but I can't wait for the real reveal!
Here to say; I love the story!!! it's just so good! I also know there are some Easter Eggs in the art but I'm not here to search for them, just to read it and enjoy it! maybe one day I'll search for them... but if i do it'll be while watching a video explaining them cuz I'm no genius lol
I love to see Norman losing it idk why... Like that little moment where he was panicking over their Mama's plan... and just like.. how he was questioning himself and stuff.. i like it a lot!
Me when I love seeing The Characters™️ going through it, lmfao
GILDA MY BABY!!! Can I adopt her too?? AND DON!! I'm adopting them all!!! I love these kids omg...
Also poor Gilda she's terrified!! And Sister Krone is using her fear and i don't like her...
Also when Gilda went to see Sister Krone, I was imagining the worst omg.... I for real am not the biggest fan of Sister Krone,,, she creeps me out....
TRAITOR REVEAL!!!!!!!
I love that scene omg!!!! I remember seeing the anime scene... And I loved it so much!!
In French it's kinda weird how Norman says it like.... "La taupe c'est toi, Ray." which sounds weird to me idk... why didn't he just say "C'est toi le traître, Ray." or something idk...
AnyGAYs, this is my favourite part of this volume!!! for now at least! maybe something will top this, who knows!
Norman is so smart... I could never lmfao
My smart son! with his 'traitorous' brother and his cheery and hopeful sister!!! ugh i love their siblings dynamic!!!! Triplets for real for real!!
NEXT DAY (yes it took me two days to read it)
I love how Ray has been orchestrating all of this... like with Little Bernie and Emma finding it, Norman and Emma finding out the secret... etc etc
Poor Ray tho... all he's had to go through with knowing what was happening to his siblings 😭😭😭
ugh he's so brave!! my sonnnn!!!!
Don! my boy!! I'm so sorry!!! 😭😭😭
He really just wants to find his little sister Conny! waaa that's so sad!!
I'm really scared/nervous for when he and Gilda will find out the truth about what's happening... cuz like... what they were told is horrible, but once they know the truth??? aaaAAAAA I'M NERVOUS!!!
But going back to Don and Conny's relationship! I love it so much!! it's so cutee!!! I loved seeing it in the little in between chapters thingy.... it's so cute.....
And him still thinking she's alive sjsssjnsjdjdxjchjxj
all Don wants is to find and save all of his siblings! waaaa
I don't want them to experience the horrors.... I know they already are but still!!
Volume two is finished!! I kinda want to now start The Apothecary Diaries now... hmmm I'll see what I end up reading...
hi and welcome to a little series I'm going to try and make, where i (try to) write down my thoughts on certain manga I'm reading!
Today, I finished volume 1 of The Promised Neverland !
Disclaimer;
I am reading The Promised Neverland in French! It's a recent development for me to read in French, but expect some of my reads to be the French translation. Which also means that some words are different than the English translation.
I also have a bad memory, so there's a big chance I've already forgotten what I've read!
And for The Promised Neverland, I already know some stuff that happen, although without context and I don't know when/where it happens. So expect full spoilers for all of the manga! Just in case.
Also this is all over the place sorry lmfao
Emma is such a sweet girl! She's vibrant and brilliant!
I quite liked the introduction to the story. And how like,, she narrates it.
The art style is beautiful too! I love all of the little expressions/emotions of the kids.
The inside cover, under the jacket is so sad tho </3... but I love what it shows! I know I'm probably not exactly supposed to know who it is, but from what i remember currently, I'm pretty sure it's Isabella as a kid.
Speaking of Isabella.... How Posuka Demizu draws her expressions is so creepy I love it! And also the demons!! ugh i love it!!
The demons look so interesting!!!!! I love how their eyes look and just everything!
Sister Krone creeps me out a little lmao... It's the expressions man,, I'm telling ya!
A reflection I had that i find funny is like,,, they're 11 years old and yes they're supposed to be geniuses,,, but they're 11 years old!! how tf do they come up with all that?! I don't mind! it just makes me feel dumb /silly /hj
Norman is cool, Ray is cool, Emma is cool!!! these three kids are mine now, I'm adopting them.
Can't wait to continue!! I have four volumes currently, and I hopefully will devour them.
Next volume is right next to me and I'm about to start it!
Also hopefully my next review will be better,,, this was just a spur of the moment thing... This time I'll write down my thoughts as i read,,, at least I'll try!
ive been embroidering for nearly half my life and it still blows my mind how cheap it is as a hobby tbh. it can be as expensive as you want to make it, sure. I've definitely invested in nicer tools when I had the finances to do so. But relatively compared to other hobbies it's kinda nuts that a splurge on materials is like. 9 bucks for a pack of some of the fanciest needles you can buy. Silk thread for 6 dollars. The industry gold standard thread is the stuff already available at every single craft store in the USA.
If you follow exacting patterns that require a lot of color changes it can add up, but those are often projects that require weeks or months of work. Let's say you had 50 color changes and the project uses most of each skein. That's months of hobby-ing right there, for about 50 dollars plus the cost of base materials which is under 10 dollars.
#posts that singlehandedly make me want to take up embroidery
heyyyyyy buddy pspspspsppssppsspsp come over here, look at the pretty embroidery just laying there on the ground, you KNOW you wanna go look at it closer, dont worry about the box on the stick over it that part doesnt matter its irrelevant
the ADHD writer's guide to actually finishing a draft (no, seriously) 📝
okay, tumblr, writers... we need to TALK about how to actually finish a damn draft when your executive functioning decided to pack its bags and leave for a permanent vacation in the bahamas.
i'm not here to give you that basic "just set a timer!" advice that makes me want to throw my laptop into the sun. we all know those productivity hacks that work for neurotypicals make us want to scream into the void. (been there, screamed that.)
so here's the ACTUAL guide from someone who's written three novels while her brain was actively trying to sabotage her the entire time.
FIRST: accept that linear writing is a capitalist construct designed to torture us.
i'm serious. whoever decided writers should start at chapter 1 and proceed neatly to THE END clearly didn't have dopamine playing hide-and-seek in their prefrontal cortex.
write whatever scene has your brain chemicals SINGING today. that climactic fight scene that's six chapters away? the tender moment between your characters that happens in the middle? WRITE IT NOW while your brain is actually interested. i have finished entire novels by writing them in chunks and stitching them together like the beautiful frankenstein's monster they are.
SECOND: the 10-minute lie (that actually works???)
tell yourself you're only going to write for 10 minutes. that's it. no pressure. your adhd brain can handle anything for 10 minutes, right? the secret is that once you start, momentum becomes your best friend. sometimes you'll actually stop at 10 minutes (congrats, you still wrote something!) but often you'll look up and realize it's been two hours and you've written 2,000 words. and yes i've seen this a lot, like everywhere, where they tell you "set a timer for 5, and by the time you realize it's 2 hours" i've seen this many times before, and it actually works. at first i thought it didn't but boy, i was wrong.
THIRD: use your hyperfixation powers for good, not evil.
we all know that adhd comes with the superpower of becoming obsessed with random things for unpredictable amounts of time. WEAPONIZE THIS. create artificial urgency around your project. tell people about your deadline. make elaborate aesthetic pinterest boards. create a spotify playlist that you only listen to while writing this specific project. trick your brain into making your WIP the shiny new hyperfixation.
FOURTH: body-doubling saved my writing career and it can save yours too.
find another writer friend (or any friend who needs to do focused work) and sit together - virtually or physically - while you both work. something about having another human witnessing your work process bypasses the executive dysfunction. i swear it's actual magic. discord writing sprints, zoom sessions with cameras off but mics on - whatever works.
FIFTH: embrace the chaos of your natural writing cycle.
some days you'll write 5,000 words in a frenzy at 3am. other days you'll stare at the document for an hour and write "the." BOTH ARE VALID WRITING DAYS. the only consistency we need is returning to the document, not some arbitrary daily word count.
SIXTH: create external accountability that doesn't make you want to die.
deadlines from publishers? great. deadlines you set for yourself? your brain laughs and says "or what?" find the sweet spot - maybe it's a writing buddy you check in with, maybe it's a public progress tracker, maybe it's promising your sister you'll take her to dinner when you finish a chapter.
SEVENTH: the frankendraft approach.
your first draft DOES NOT need to be good, coherent, or even make sense. it just needs to exist. leave yourself notes like [FIGURE OUT HOW SHE GETS FROM THE CASTLE TO THE BEACH LATER] and keep moving. your adhd brain will thank you for not getting stuck in research rabbit holes for six hours.
EIGHTH: find your optimal writing environment through shameless trial and error.
maybe you need complete silence. maybe you need to be in a coffee shop with specific ambient noise. maybe you need to write standing up. maybe you need to dictate your novel while pacing around your apartment. there is no wrong way to get the words out.
i personally write best when i'm slightly uncomfortable (weird, i know) so i often end up writing while sitting on my kitchen floor with my laptop balanced on a chair. whatever works, bestie. a finished messy draft is infinitely more valuable than the perfect novel still trapped in your head. your adhd brain is simultaneously your greatest challenge and your greatest asset as a writer. the connections you make, the unique perspectives, the creativity - all of that comes from the same place as the struggles.
you've got this. now go write something, even if it's just for 10 minutes. i believe in you. ✨ -rin t.

Summary:
Crocodile is Luffy's dad and everything changes (idk what to put as a summary guys help–)
✧ “Just in case you say no, I do have a 9 page argumentative essay prepared, but I really hope you’re not about to make me read it, because I will cry.”
✧ “Okay, this is painful, you are adorably nervous, but I will rescue you: yes.” “Thank God. Can I propose again?”
✧ “I’ve been bothering you as your annoying partner for long enough. Will you do me the honors of letting me be your annoying spouse instead?”
✧ “We should get married.” “That better not have been your proposal, I swear—“
✧ “We’ve basically been married in all but law forever already.”
✧ “Did you ask my dad for my hand?” “Yup. He told me to fuck off and threatened to shoot me. I think it was a test.” “It absolutely was, but not sure if you going through with it means you passed or failed.” “Guess we’ll find out.”
✧ “I would kneel, but you know I busted my knee a while back, so I’ll just… Do it standing up.”
[Prompt Calender: March 20th, National Proposal Day]
◈ “You made me a coffee?” “I heard you coming home late last night. figured you'd need it.” “And you were right. Thanks.”
◈ “You should probably get out of here. I'm sick, I don't want to get you sick as well.” “What? No way. We're in this together, literally. Sit down, I'll make you some tea.”
◈ “Hey, have you seen my sweater– Ah. You're wearing it.” “I'm sorry, I got cold and all of mine are in the wash. But you can have it back...” “No, it's okay. Suits you.”
◈ ‘you keep having people over for one night and i'm not trying to slutshame you but it makes me uncomfortable and i'm not sure why... oh, wait...’ vs. ‘you never have people over and i know it bothers you but it secretly makes me very happy and i don't understand why... oh, wait...’
◈ “You look tired. Rough shift, I assume? Want me to make you dinner too?” “You're an actual angel.”
◈ “What are you– Whoa, what–!” “Ssh!!! The landlord is outside the window, I'm hiding so we don't have to open the door and talk to him!”
◈ “I heard you stayed up late last night. You okay?” “What? Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry. Why were you up?” “Oh, just... Couldn't sleep, I guess.”
◈ “You look good. What's the occassion?” “A date.” “You don't look very happy about it. Wait, did they stand you up again?” “Oh, I'm sure they're just late...” “Oh, hell no. C'mon, get up. I'm taking you out.”
◈ “You're stress cleaning. Want to talk about it?” “Not really.” “Do it anyway, before our floors get bleached a shade lighter.”
◈ “So, about last night...” “Can we please... Not? It was a mistake, okay? Let's just forget about it.” “Oh. Um, yeah. That's what I was thinking too.”
forgot to say this but I have a roleplay side blog! not for actually roleplaying on tumblr, but just to post some rp plot ideas and rp search for myself!
There are going to be days (or weeks, or months) where you sit down to write and feel... disconnected. From your voice, from your characters, from your ideas. Like the person who used to write your stories just packed up and left.
They didn't. They're just tired. Here's how to keep writing anyway:
Lower the bar (Until it's on the floor)
You are not here to write something brilliant. You are here to write something. A paragraph. A sentence. A single line of dialogue. Movement matters way more than quality.
Write around the story
Don't force it. If you can't write the scene, try:
⋆ A character ramble / journal entry
⋆ A conversation that won't be included in the final draft
⋆ A list of things the character would never admit out loud
⋆ A messy summary of what should happen
Engage with the story from a different angle.
Borrow a voice until yours comes back
No, not with AI. Read something that feels close to what you want to write, or watch a scene that captures the tone, then write immediately after. Not to copy, to reignite your instincts.
Write the emotion, not the plot.
What is your character feeling in this moment? What are they afraid of? What do they want but won't say? What's being kept from them? The emotion leads, the plot catches up later.
Stop trying to "feel like a writer" first.
You don't write when you feel like a writer. You feel like a writer because you write.
You are still a writer, even on the days it feels distant. Especially then.
