ahhhh silly writing...... i love you, silly writing with silly guys....
SWWSG highkey was a fundamental stepping stone for me and worldbuilding within this fandom. Some of the most basic HMS gimmicks I still play with I basically "stole" from this fic, as I'm sure many others did.
the traditional "if one dies, all three reset" gimmick, the "alone in their psyche" gimmick, shadow Whole, open-world psyche with atmospheric conditions that get worse during cacophony, Soul's trident magic being innate to Him rather than The Trident Itself; I could go on, but let's leave it there.
Fuuuckk, I even have an entire AU based off. That Other fic. Soul Hunts The Other Two For Sport. I seriously think I am that fic's biggest fan. Still recommending it to folks in the big 2026. The only issue I ever had with it is that I wanted it to be longer and so I solved that by making my own HMS about it. That AU's Soul might be my all-time favorite jashling EVER.
In short. What I am trying to say is. Thank you for being here to scratch a very specific itch of mine for.
Checks calendar. Three years.
Dude I think my favorite thing about Silly Writing is the amount of worldbuilding I've put into it!!!!!
I'm not sure how it all really fell into place for me, I think I just came up with it as I wrote/thought it out in my head before I actually started writing. You can kinda see me develop gimmicks in real time for a looooot of the early chapters!! I still need to rewrite some of those.... just to fix some narrative stuff and patch some plotholes from worldbuilding being fleshed out later... but that's for me to figure out whenever I have the time to patch said chapters up!!
but yeah.... shadow whole guy my beloved concept who literally came out of nowhere. I just thought he'd be fun and I hope the idea reaches others and they treat him well in their interpretations/aus <3
he is just the group's local little cryptid and I love him dearly. btw psa he is totally innocent and could do no wrong. if you think otherwise I think you are reading a different silly writing or something I dunno man. source?? evidence??? he's innocent your honor my client has done nothing. anyways.
though I do wonder, what interpretations have them Not alone in their psyche???
also I'm glad you like the other writing!!! that one was really just a for fun random little idea I had. I wanted to put those guys in a specific situation that Silly Writing wasn't meant for, and I really don't like making Soul like. Purely Evil. I mean even in that one once everything's said and done he just regrets it all. dude's just tired </3
I should really reread that one some time. it was really fun to write :D
if you've got that AU put somewhere, I'd love to take a look! I'm curious to know how you expanded upon that little one off story I had and see how you shaped it yourself!!!! :D
I'm glad silly writing and those adjacent were able to scratch a niche itch!! I still can't believe I've been writing this shit for 3 years holy fuck has it really been that long. dude. I don't think that's normal person behavior
