“At night I still hear the screams Haunted by everything you took from me But lying there in my blood I vowed to myself that my day would come When you’d hear my battle-cry”

Though I hate EVERYTHING else about Q’s death, him using Minor Mending, the Discipline that he thought was so lame, to save the day, was really cool. A Discipline really did feel like it was so fundamental to each of the characters. The magic that is as natural as breathing to them, the one they didn’t need formal training to use, and the broken depressed suicidal kid had Minor Mending. The guy that was always solving problems by putting his mind to it turned out to be able to fix anything if he just concentrated. And then he uses it to solve a problem so big everyone thought it was impossible by fixing a crack in a mirror. It was poetic in its own way.

Too bad about literally everything else in that fucking episode.

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

chat reminder to just write whatever the fuck you want. write that overused trope. write that obscure shit that no one will have heard of. just. do it. your writing is yours stop depriving it of that.

honestly in the era of AI slop it is more important than ever for you to write or draw that incredibly niche/strange/unpalatable thing you want to make. the world needs the unique weirdness of people more than ever

idk who needs to hear this, but low engagement does not mean your writing is bad.

engagement doesn’t solely depend on the quality of the work. whilst it can play a role, other things such as fandom, ship, tags, tropes and posting at the right time of the day/week play a SIGNIFICANT role.

so keep writing what you love. keep writing what makes your heart happy. your work is amazing. the fact that you’re even putting words out there is amazing.

do not let numbers define you or your work.

this is your sign to go write. i'm not talking about making a cute pinterest board or playlist, thats for the procrastinators. OPEN YOUR DOCUMENT AND WRITE THAT THANG

What do you mean is The Fic abandoned? Obviously not, it's my baby, I was just holding it. What do you mean is it dead? Look, I got it right here, it's still very much alive. What do you mean am I going to write any more it? I was just writing it! I barely set it down!

... What do you mean it's been five years?

The most important thing you can do in this life is write hyper-specific fanfiction for you and six other people. Don’t believe anything else you read.

Having the kind of writing day where I wanna give up on everything 🙃
