What’s here?

Hi, thanks for reading! 😊

I assume if you are following this blog, you are one of my lovely readers. I have finally decided to make a blog specifically for my wips! (main: @chessna2) 

You may know me as the author of my long Hetalia fic, Diamond in the Rough or DITR. But I have other stories in the series, too! 

[Disclaimer: My fics cover historically sensitive topics. Please check the tags and ratings for further disclaimers. This blog will include discussion of these topics. I will use tw tags for content warnings ONLY, since this blog is specific to my wips and I won’t use main character or ship tags. Basically, if you are here I am assuming you have agreed to seeing the darker content discussed in my fics. I will not enforce an age limit, but know that DITR and OZO are rated M for mature subject matter. Please be responsible for being the judge of which topics you are comfortable engaging with.]

I close my eyes and I imagine Natallja repeatedly beating Ludwig near death with his own broken-down rifle and I fall asleep easily and peacefully

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

It's crazy how when I get to the end product of a chapter I'm rereading it and taking notes like "yes of course this is the chapter structure and pay-offs and set-ups and how this factors into the plot and leads into future conflicts" but it took me like at least three drafts to get it there, not all of that was a given and I had to figure it out as I went

I FINALLY finished editing ch. 25 and I am going through and making notes. I thought you would like this one @doomspiral

The good news is I am finally done with PT.

The bad news is that I'm still working in the office full time, I'm going to start training soon, politics here is a raging dumpster fire that takes of a lot of my free time just following, and (somewhat good news) I'm kinda trying to get engaged/married within the next two years.

Long story short if my schedule magically clears up I'll try to do some writing but life is Happening right now. (and my country is kind of like... going through a democratic crisis and for the same reason I write about history and politics I like to know what's going on with that and that takes time/energy to follow the news)

I really wish I could just spend my days at work thinking about fictional worlds and not the erosion of democracy here, or get home and kick up my feet and write instead of trying to keep up with the latest headlines.

So guys I haven't abandoned the story, writing is just not fitting in my life right now. But I want it to eventually! <3

all of my writing is actually just thinly-veiled fantasy about being seen at your worst and still being loved

the thing about prussia is he's a violent freak who sucks and picks fights for fun and is operating on such insane levels of haterism that he literally stalks austria and goes out of his way to ruin his day, and he's a misogynist with three layers of religious fuckery that both represses him and also gets used as an excuse for his gleeful acts of violence, and despite Probably doing his best to raise him, he's so emotionally stunted, more Machine Than Person, so hellbent on having the legacy of a singular strong german state that he did irreparable damage to germany and now the kid can't talk to people normally and has weird psychosexual hangups. he probably spends half of the twentieth century on hella coke, around people who have completely justified long-standing grudges against him and want to break his nose every time he talks. literally the kindest thing thats ever happened wrt prussia is getting dissolved so he can't be a problem anymore

but above all else. most importantly. prussia is my little princess

Sad scribbly thing.. I'm lowkey addicted to making the world's most miserable man accept some form of comfort against his will so you have to see it too.
