Love and Loss

"It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone."

when you've had an OC for 10 years and suddenly decide maybe you need to change their name....feels like a betrayal

[solkoroleva]

somebody recommend me something life changing

[aglionbyacademia]

Gansey is actually so cunt if you think about it. His parents are conservative republicans. He’s in a homoerotic situationship with every single one of his friends and some old man from Europe. Died twice. Stole his ex situationship’s girl — ON SAID SITUATIONSHIP’S BIRTHDAY. Always on the phone, always busy and booked. Punched his Latin teacher, threw a Molotov cocktail at a substance party he wasn’t even invited to. Can fly a helicopter, isn’t very good at it. Drives a vintage car even though it’s shit, simply for aesthetics. Wears contacts instead of his nerdy glasses, because he’s vain. Writes in an old leather notebook instead of just using his laptop. Truly believes in magic. His roommate is a ghost. Captain of the rowing team. Everyone at his fancy private school knows his name, everyone thinks he’s cool but also very very weird. The absolute aura on this guy.

finally got around to reading the sunshine court. in true aftg fashion i blew through them in a frenzy in the span of two days and obviously it's the only thing i'm thinking about. 🧑‍🍳🤌

[froggisarethebest]

I have drawn the conclusion upon re-reading aftg that Aaron was never an asshole, the poor guy was just some traumatized 20 year old trying to pass his pre- med major while being on a shitty Exy team, having a brother high on psychotic drugs (who also killed his mother), an ex-raven who wouldn’t shut up about how much he sucked on the court, and a cousin who lacked awareness of a social filter. and then a loudmouthed kid shows up and makes everything about 150% more difficult. also he was trying to have a successful secret relationship. i too would be a miserable bitch 24/7 my god

[featherlight-whispers]

please stop saying that adam is dark academia. the closest thing to dark academia in trc is gansey (the wild chase for glendower?? the insomnia? the obscene generational wealth??). but alas that guy cannot kill a man so there is no true dark academia in the series. the 80s coming of age movie vibes, however--

pros of keeping records of your old writing: whenever you refer back to it you will experience the unparalleled gratification of being able to see just how much progress you've made. you may even find yourself revisiting ideas you had that you didn't have the skills to fully realise at the time, but have since developed enough to renew your efforts.

cons of keeping records of your old writing: you will find yourself constantly mortified and tormented by the words of the stupidest most ignorant shit idiot currently drawing breath on earth, and that person is you

Writing Tip:

If you don’t feel like actually writing, prepare for writing:

Open your WIP Word doc

Read the last page again

Scribble notes on what happens next

Once you’ve done this, you might just find yourself wanting to continue after all. And if you don’t, no worries. You’ve made it easier to jump back into it later.

This always works for me! Really good advice!

[bookishdiplodocus]

I do this to get into the writing mood. I can tell myself: “I don’t have to write, no pressure. Look, I’m not writing, this isn’t writing.”

[shadokatninjakitty]

^^GREAT advice!

is it blasphemous to the fandom to say i couldn't give less of a shit about kavinsky

[dancingwdinosaurs]

(I mean - it's a classic, I just had to!)

[ao3commentoftheday]

you know that expression, "dance like no one is watching you?"

try writing like no one is going to read it

it's easier to let yourself go and just enjoy the process of creation when you aren't also playing 6 dimensional chess with your insecurities and anxieties

write because you have fun writing and if you never post it anywhere that's totally fine because you enjoyed your time with the process

[text ID: It seems to me more than ever that I am a victim of introspection. If I have not the power to put myself in the place of other people, but must be continually burrowing inward. I shall never be the magnanimous creative person I wish to be. Yet I am hypnotized by the workings of the individual, alone, and am continually using myself as a specimen.]
