Hi, I'm Cobalt, currently stuck in Idolish7 hell. I write when I've had enough ink to drink. sucker for angst and torture, rambler of tags

My Ao3 is CobaltCephalopod. Writing commissions are through kofi, fics over 1k words are $20 per 1k, fics under 1k are at a rate of 1 cent per word. OCs, gore, graphic descriptions, and mature themes are welcome, for NSFW please reference my posted works to see if my style is right for you. DM me on here to discuss your ideas and vision for the piece.

Just a quick cheatsheet for myself since I lose track of tags really fast

Every fic and rambling is under #my writing

Reactions to things I read/watch are under #esti mese

General thoughts, meta, etc. are under #gondolataim

🎭 for the ask meme and also 🦉 because you mentioned it in the tags www

ahh thanks for playing!

🎭 What genre of writing comes easiest to you?

i think angst, though I say that and for the most part I haven't written much angst recently. normally the whumpier the better with how much suffering i can squeeze into one story, it's just too much fun to imagine the worst or even just to dig into a particular wound more than canon has, the appeal of really making the characters' hearts sink is both what makes me the happiest when reading and the result I aim for when i write

🦉Is there another author that helped inspire you to write?

back when i was in the shadowhunters fandom writing malec fic, i was inspired in spades by all of the writers, like @serendiii, @bcnedrah, and a lot that have since deactivated sadly but that still stay with me in their prose and the fond memories of the fandom experience that actually got me to start writing fic in the first place

and for current inspiration, definitely you and also @keicordelle, I'm lucky to have the chance to read your work and have it fuel ideas and just general awe at what words can do

Conan: I need you to show up at this exact location within the hour dressed as a missing teenage girl, I’ll send you a picture to go off. Bring enough bombs to derail a train traveling at 285 MPH without killing the passengers inside. Prepare to be shot at.
