my parents are against tattoos but I'm convinced that's only because they own the house where photos have hung in the same spot for thirty years, while I'm stuck forever renting from landlords who charge for every nail hole. all I will ever own is me.

LIKES TO CHARGE REBLOGS TO CAST

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

how it feels to make a character's situation worse and worse and worse

I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

Fanfiction is a hobby. You are not obliged to improve at a hobby. You are not obliged to monetise a hobby. You - the hobbiest - are not obliged to be on par with professionals.

Turn your back on the insidious whispers of the capitalism mindset and return to posting fics that make you happy and are tagged "srry if thsi is confusing its 3am n i'm high".

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

the point of fanfiction is to write something so self indulgent that nobody else has thought of it before or cares

[raichett]

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
