( --- Long post is long, so under the cut.

I haven’t been online here. It’s been slightly because of work, mostly because of my own insecurities and anxieties.

Primarily towards my writing, but also those I wrote with to some degrees. I honestly feel like I’ve treated people on here very poorly, and that made me feel uncomfortable to log on.

It’s also because of my own-- uncertainty for writing James.

I wish I could say I can step beyond those things, but, I’m not sure I can.

For as little as I feel it means, I am sorry to those I treated unfairly or stupidly, or wrongly due to either my own insecurities or, just life. I still blame those insecurities first and foremost.

I will do my best to hop on here, but, consider this a weird hiatus.

You can find me on @scngohan primarily. Or my personal, if we know one another well enough.

those posts criticizing common writing patterns in fanfiction are so fucking harmful and they ruined me

so like yknow what??? People tell you to avoid “smirk” and “chuckle” as descriptors because no one does those things (???) but then when I need to use those words I have a ten minute crisis about how I’m a shitty writer. So heres my unwarranted writing advice: If you want your characters to smirk and chuckle fucking let them and don’t let anyone tell you that no one smirks or chuckles because I do both on a daily basis whenever I tell a shitty pun, bye

Edgy fanfiction critics can eat my entire ass.

[machinemotion-deactivated201810]

it’s not like what we’re writing is being published – there are no rules to what we’re doing here. worrying about whether what i was writing ( for fun ) adhered to the acceptable standards for a prestigious work of published fiction made roleplay and fanfiction writing really scary for me, throughout a good chunk of my life.

when i realized it doesn’t actually make a difference in how GOOD PARTNERS enjoy your work, unless you’re sending a work in to be published ( and therefore have to adhere to THEIR standard because of the whole them giving you money thing ), was the day fanfiction and roleplay became fun again. 

you have nothing to lose by making your character smirk or chuckle, except maybe a rigid/rude AF writing partner. unwarranted criticism will always your way. but ask yourself if it really MATTERS, if you’re just doing this for FUN.

IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH ICONLESS ROLEPLAYS REBLOG THIS SO YOUR FOLLOWERS KNOW !!

like as much as i love icons and a good psd, sometimes its just tasking to do. and not everyone has great resources. so if you’re okay with having threads with no icons, please reblog this so that people know you’re okay with it. i feel like roleplayers today are too focused on the aesthetics and won’t follow people who use base icons or even none at all. it’s not about icons, but about the writing !!

( Slowly getting things all setup! Fixed the colours, redoing icons.

Just need to get the rules / about / verses pages all caught up. )

[somethingihavetodo-blog]

( Not everything’s done [ I still need to update his about / the rules / navi pages ] and fix up some colours so they don’t stab my eyes out from clashing with the background.

--but it’s pretty early here and I have work in two days, so I just need to relax and not focus on heavy coding for the moment.

Looking good though! Also need to redo icons for the new theme and just because I want to.

Looking forward to returning,

Karasu. )

[somethingihavetodo-blog]

( Forgive any shoddiness, gonna be updating James’ theme again. It may look weird or off kilter for a bit.

Thanks for your patience, guys, gals + non-binary buds!

It might take a bit, but I’m hoping to get back into James.

Might be cathartic for me.

Cautiously optimistic,

Karasu. )

“ The truth is rarely pure and never simple. ”

@notycurmary

“–I get that.” his voice is… oddly accepting, yet there’s a shortness to his response. It’s clipped, as though James doesn’t want to talk about the truth. The truth is what had gotten him here; or more accurately, his denial of it. The understanding of that truth, while bringing some comfort, had left him in more of a tail spin than he’d like to admit.

Admitting to the ugly truths, the rotten cores, deep within one’s conscious, was never easy. It was never simple, just as Maria said.

Still, that pissed him off. Some small sliver of himself, some annoying god damn part of himself, still felt shame at how he truly was.

“If this is you trying to be metaphorical with your bullshit words, you can stop now.” he wasn’t in the mood to try and read through her words. James had never been the type: it was too frustrating for him to bare with.

[somethingihavetodo-blog]

I felt like I was drowning. I was drowning and Mary was taking me with her, and James selfishly didn't want to die. He escaped by killing her and now he's living with the remorse from that. There's no right, there's no wrong. It's only tragic.

What is your weirdest fetish?

“I enjoy blood, knives, guns, bit of torture.” He says this so matter-of-factly; no hesitance or skip of his words. As though he’s describing the weather, or what he had for breakfast. In fact, James is smiling, “Few other things, but those’re for, uh, special people.” the people he actually wanted to fuck – no need to let the whole world know.
