#unmarked grave - there is a person-shaped hole in the narrative of oakhurst. in light of recent events, it's not that hard to figure out who! - in lieu of a ghost

#skycinization - after (you know), skycrab gets carcinized. it's a gift, of course. why wouldn't it be?

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

[ceruleanheaven]

all that and i havent killed myself yet i must really love this stupid fucking life

truly the idea of "this scene is (un-)necessary to the story" is such a fundamentally uncurious and anti-art way of engaging with fiction. the story itself is unnecessary, in the sense that all art is unnecessary, because art is not a fucking optimization problem. that's the beauty of it

[some-stars]

i've been thinking a lot the last few days about how so many people, even when they think they're defending art, automatically adopt the position of the STORY being the most important part of all fiction. the plot, the character arc, the worldbuilding, but it's always about moving something forward and building a narrative idea. and like....yes, fine, but sometimes i read books because i like the way the author puts words together! sometimes i watch movies because the images and sounds give me an ineffable human experience! not all art can be experienced via synopsis!!!!!!!!!!!

This display is filling up really fast lately with all the bugs I’ve been finding! Some of these are over a year old but the most recent is from a few days ago. There are a few super common beetles I’d like to nab because they’re just so pretty, like the widely despised Japanese beetle and the less widely despised southern masked chafer, but I’m trying not to make the beetle section be the entire display. That’s hard when most insects statistically speaking are beetles!

i know i say this often but i cannot say it loud enough: people who comment on fics, people who reblog posts and engage with fanworks are the people who generate community and without them fandom would be nowhere, so truly thank you for your presence, you make the world go 'round <3

[bananonbinary]

its really important to check in with yourself often and ask whether you're actually enjoying what you're doing.

that can be true of very big things, like your career or your love life, but also moment-to-moment things. are you enjoying scrolling social media? is that phone game actually any fun to you? are you staying up to read and your eyes are burning and your face feels all gritty and tight and bad and your anxieties are starting to swirl?

especially with a neurodigervence like adhd or ocd, it can be really really easy to slip into patterns that don't actually benefit you or anyone else. but you can just....stop doing those things, if you want. fuck FOMO. go do something else that you actually like.

While I understand the desire to make Big Art entirely and viscerally I think it's worth considering that small art often leaves an outsized impact on its audience. Short stories, teensy indie games, short films, sketches on scrap paper, carved or sculpted figures that would fit in the palm of your hand, etc. etc. are all things that, when they hit your psyche at just the right angle, can stay lodged in there forever specifically because they are small. It is not necessary for a thing to be sprawling for it to have impact.

how I sleep knowing as a fanfic writer who writes for herself and her own enjoyment first and foremost, I have the power and the freedom to write whatever I want however I want forever
