“Stay,” Logan commanded Remus, like an owner to their pet.  “Will I get a treat if I do?” he asked, wiggling his eyebrows, not helping the matter.  “You can meet my roommate. How’s that for a treat?”  “Sounds pretty vanilla, but I guess that’s alright.”

excerpt from a fanfic I'm writing that I'm not sure if I'll finish/post

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

Another iconic line (from the other fic I'm working on that may never make it out into the world lol) that I want to share. I'm not gonna give context for this one; I'm just gonna say that the whole fic hurts, and this line is no exception:

"The rose-colored lenses had been knocked off of Patton’s eyes, only for him to find that he was in a field of red flags of his own creation."

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

So... I finished this fic a couple months ago, and the release date for the first chapter (assuming I remember; but I'm excited) is going to be around November 19th

When I post the chapter, I'll reblog this post with the AO3 link, which will also be added to my writing masterpost

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

Okay, so I've been super busy with school and work and stuff, and kinda didn't check this blog very much. But as of today, my writing masterpost has been updated, and here is the link to this fic (it's in progress), as I promised

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

In light of the new episode, I present to you an incorrect quote that I just thought of

Janus, swirling wine in a (normal-sized) glass: your wine problem is getting out of hand, darling

Logan, chugging from a wine bottle like his sanity depends on it: your lying problem is getting a little out of hand, darling

[treenissanderssidesstuff]

And Patton’s somewhere around the corner, nervously laughing at the tension and weird vibes like: “snacks anyone?”

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I love this so much🥺

Me upon witnessing any level of angst between the Sides: I could fix them.

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I'm currently working on two separate Sanders Sides fanfics that may never see the light of day, but I wrote this absolutely killer line for one of them that I want to share.

I'm not gonna go into details about the whole fic this line comes from (because I don't want to get anyone's hopes up just for me to not end up finishing it or posting it), but the chapter it comes from is an extended metaphor about chess.

The final line is:

"He may have been a lowly pawn, but he was going to take the king."

Finally got enough brain power back that the new Asides episode stole from me to write some Logan angst that - if I remember to post it - you can find on my AO3 account at some point tomorrow :)

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I posted it :)

Spoilers for Working THROUGH Intrusive Thoughts, bc apparently I'm live-blogging this shit now

"Remus, you couldn't turn anything on if you tried." HOLY FUCK LOGAN. My hand was to my mouth in excitement so far this episode, but that... that... OMG

Did Logan just pour wine into his coffee cup holy crap

"Logan, I'm a grown man... I would love to color." FELT. Maybe I should color. I've been overthinking. Maybe it's what I need instead of eating my feelings. (That got dark real fast, my bad)

The fucking bratwurst. I let out an actual laugh

Did Logan just intimidate the masked murder? Help I'm crying

THE PADDLE, NO. I knew the "I'll be good" was foreplay but THE PADDLE

Oh my god I was very worried Logan wasn't going to intervene

But then the music Logan put on (the orchestra), right before I paused to write this... very enemies to lovers, dancing in a ballroom together vibes. Idk. I'm weird. But come on... dagger to the throat, anyone?

"Shake what your mama gave ya" pls the way it's on a notecard and everything

Not Remus scratching his own butt and shaking his leg like a dog, goodness

Oh, tongue lollipop.🤮 It moved🤮 Why did I think it would be a good idea to have a snack during this episode? I should've known. Intrusive thoughts is literally in the name

I'm pausing this right before Logan snaps (it looks like he's gonna, anyway). Ooh, it'll be GOOD

HIS EYES FLASHED ORANGE HIS EYES FLASHED ORANGE CODE ORANGE

Y'all, what if the "the orange side is a fed-up Logan" theories were correct??

Logan, no. Logan, you're not allowed to scream at Thomas or Nico. No. Let them have this happy video call. Please, I beg. You're my favorite character (alongside Janus), is that worth anything to you?

Logan sunk out, and I am SOBBING. I thought he was gonna actually be listened to in this episode. It's what he deserves. BUT NO.

Not the segway into the ad. Haha. No offense to Logan, but I feel better

PATTON in the endcard

And Nico and Thomas on a date awwwwww

AND ROMAN

VIRGIL

Logan looks kinda mad... I don't like this...

"Oh, thank goodness, you're giving him permission." "...Of course I would." I don't like this either. Very... SVS Redux vibes...

What was that moment of contemplation then a sigh, Thomas? I don't like that either.

I think it's my overthinking plus my love of angst rn. Not a good combo.

JANUS!!!!!

No no no no no no no

Snake in a tree (in the Garden of Eden) eating an apple, telling a lie

Oh no no no no no

ORANGE EYES IN THE ENDCARD AHHHH

AHHHHH my theory brain wants to go into overdrive

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I don't always have the inspiration to write, but when I do, I write about 15k words over the course of one weekend

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

Now that my semester is finally over, I'll spend my weekend revising the few fanfic things I managed to write this past month and probably post them all at one time.

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I’ve written almost 3k words today of what may end up being a published sanders sides fanfic, but I haven’t written this much in forever, honestly, and it’s kinda draining. Even though I’m a writer, too, I have mad respect for writers who pump out a freshly-written chapter every day or week or whatever. I honestly could never.

I have mad respect for writers in general, because y’all are fucking amazing, but damn, those of you who write a new chapter every week. I cannot do that shit. Never have I been able to. I can’t (start to) publish a work unless I know it’s finished, otherwise it might never be finished.

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I’m up to 5.1k words, and all I have to say is that I’m so glad to have my writing mojo back. It’s a completely different thing for me to write a ramble of a post versus writing a fanfic (of whatever length this one ends up being. I doubt I’ll ever write one that tops the, I think, 93k words that is “A different kind of chemistry”).

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

I have a section I haven’t written yet, but I’ve written a brief summary of my idea for it (so I don’t forget it after I’m finished with the sections before it), which is as follows: “Roman ‘I’m only cuddling you because apparently I’m cold-blooded now, and it feels like I’m out in a snowstorm. I still absolutely loathe you, though’ Sanders and Janus”

And if you’ve been following my main blog ( @thatoneinsecurenerd ) for long enough, you may know exactly what fic I’m finally getting around to writing :’)

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

It’s at almost 12k words, so here’s an excerpt from the section I mentioned in my previous reblog (now that’s it’s written). (It’s not my favorite scene in the whole fic so far, but my favorite scene is an instance of body horror, so I’m sparing everyone of that - for now. *evil cackle*):

Keep reading

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

It’s been a while since I’ve written about my progress on this fic (and not accidentally posted it to my main blog and deleted it right after because that’s not where it goes anymore), but I’ve been stuck at about 25k words for a while. I just have one final chapter I want to/need to write before I close out the fic. (At least, it feels like I only need one more chapter. An epilogue, really. But I’m stuck. I have no ideas.)

With school back in session, it’s really draining to write again, because I drain all my energy reserves doing homework and practicing my three(!) instruments. Eventually, I’ll finish the damn fic and post it (and link it in a reblog), though. I just need to find the energy and the idea.

[read-write-sleep-repeat]

So, I ended up getting a little writing mojo back last night. I wrote a whole other chapter. But the chapter wasn’t an epilogue like I meant for it to be. So there’s gonna be more chapters, and it’ll probably be a long ass while before the fic actually gets posted. If I actually decide to post it, since I’m having my doubts now, even though I’ve kinda(?) been hyping it up here.
