NaS Update 6.5
Stuff has been going well, nothing really noticeable for an update in my opinion, but working on this essay, I've been thinking about all the missed and untapped potential with this whole thing as a concept, and yeah, you can probably see where this is going
Inspired by the og NaS and to some extent NNAOS by @/connectionterminated13 I bring present you:
Clockwork's Hellish Adventure
It's on AO3; you can find it here, co-writing with my boyfriend. I might put it on Wattpad too, might make it a comic if I build up my art skills enough. Follow '#clockworks hellish adventure'"' to keep up to date, blah blah blah
Look, it's a Creepypasta fanfic, I'm not gonna be pretentious about it.
Differences/Stuff to Expect:
Well, for those without a brain, it's gonna be about Clockwork. Obviously.
Jeff probably won't even be fucking in it, taking a LOT of creative liberties here, probably better to call this an original thing that's just loosely inspired by NaS, but meh, whatever.
Clockwork is a pretty important character to me and very underbaked. I love her to death, but she never really has much going on besides either "cool strong lady" or "Toby's girlfriend," and also, we all kinda forget she's a victim of SA.
This fandom has an obsession with shoving SA to look more "dark" and "realistic," it's not gang.
I'm not gonna be too graphic, but I very much intend on exploring the healing process and particularly Hypersexuality.
And despite my slight diss this is gonna be a TicciWork story, and I KNOW ONE OF THE MAIN APPEALS WAS THE TOXIC JEFF X TOBY YAOI, BUT MY VERSIONS OF CLOCKWORK AND TOBY ARE BASED ON ME AND MY IRL BOYFRIEND, AND I THINK STORIES ABOUT MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE MAKING RELATIONSHIPS WORK ARE MORE INTERESTING CAUSE LIKE WE DEMONIZE MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME BUT THE REALITY IS THAT WE CAN HAVE NON-ABUSIVE AND HEALTY RELATIONSHIPS, just need elbow grease y'know?
If it makes it any better, my bf and I aren't the straightest couple.
And y'know I don't think that's talked about enough in this fandom or fuck even real life.
I'm mentally ill, not really surprised I'm a Creepypasta fan, we're ALL ill, but I have a boyfriend, we're healthy.
With all the infantilization, fetishization, and demonizing, I feel like this fandom convinced itself that people with mental disorders can't function at all.
I know, like, realistically, a lot of ships would end up horrible, but that's NOT the only option dickwad! With enough WORK, you can make relationships WORK.
It's harmful to say that mentally ill people can't develop healthy romantic, sexual, or Hell even platonic relationships.
I also think it's objectively more interesting, and I think we all need to learn about that stuff, denounce that toxic mindset.
I guess that's one of the themes I wanna convey with this fic:
People with mental disorders CAN have healthy relationships, dipshit
No, dumbass, you being in someone's life doesn't magically cure their Depression, and them being your life won't cure yours either. In the words of Garnet, "You're not your lover's missing piece, you're their complement."
No, dumbass, that doesn't erase the fact that your presence helps them; you have to be there for them, it still helps and helps them get better, and they help you too, even if you don't notice, don't think the last point erases that. In the words of Garnet, "You're not your lover's missing piece, you're their complement." You may not cure them, but you still help them.
Anyways yeah, scripts going well, making myself a fic, will I be original? I hope so, I'll make callbacks and shit, but I kinda wanna be different from all the other blogs around me, I think we're all kinda the same, just kinda copy and paste, it's the same three flavors:
Peas, porridge, and peas & porridge.
Anyways that's it, friends and enemies
Peace & Love and all that hippie shit ✌️❤️
