#crouch complaint

Uh. I think I just found the worst image of all time:

Why is he white? And why is he SO white? This is one of the whitest people I have ever seen in my life. He looks like the lovechild of Five from Umbrella Academy and Draco fucking Malfoy. I don't like this at all. I feel afraid.

Hello! Here For Me? I Humbly Request That You Observe The Following Guidelines.

Greetings, all. I am a humble fanfiction author who does the collection Crouching Jonkler Hidden Zonkler on AO3, which is centered around the ship between Jabber Wonger and Zanka Nijiku from the shounen manga & anime Gachiakuta. Kind commenters have named me Crouch.

I made this Tumblr because it became apparent to me that the Janka community is full of kind and funny people I want to talk to. Below are some guidelines for how best to interact with me, as well as my Post Directory, explaining the personal tags I use to organize this blog.

Guidelines

This is an adult space.

Unfortunately, because of the nature of my work and because I am an adult myself, I don't want to interact with minors on this blog. If you send me a message, please be above the age of majority wherever you are from in the world.

There's no need to be shy.

Are you awkward? Great, me too! I do not have experience with being "online" as it were, and this is all very new to me. Perhaps naively, I'm just hoping to have fun and make friends.

Also, I have no idea how to use social media. If I do something incomprehensible, it's probably because I also don't understand what's going on.

I do accept constructive criticism.

Is something I wrote bothering you? Did I forget an important detail, make something super confusing, neglect to tag something upsetting, or other things of that nature? Feel free to let me know.

Do you want to talk to me, but feel unsure what to say?

What is one moment you've liked in the show so far? If you were a Giver, what would your Vital Instrument be? And, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is your favorite moment from my body of work? Send your answers to any of these questions into my ask box!

Do you have a writing prompt or a scenario idea for me? It is highly unlikely I will ever write it, but I encourage you to propose them regardless. Who knows, you might get me. Or you might get someone else!

If you are an author yourself and wish to request feedback on your own work, please do. Unless you specifically request constructive criticism, I will only tell you what I liked about it. Positive feedback is also very important to one's writing development!

Through it all, please allow some grace for me.

I'm currently recovering from a godawful case of burnout. I do appear to be getting better, which is why I'm able to write at all, but the fact remains that I have a very limited amount of energy that can be quite unpredictable. I have big aspirations and a great quantity of ideas, but whether or not they will come to fruition... that is somewhat up to the wind. I am very protective of my mental health, and if I feel that I'm starting to become unduly stressed by my Internet activities, I will pull back and preserve myself. Unfortunately, this means chapters may go unwritten and your messages may go unanswered. Sorry! I appreciate you regardless.

I hate when I'm drafting and then I realize I want a scene to be in a completely different place than it is right now. It usually means I have to rewrite most of it, because I really like making the narrative build on itself... Oh Well! The things I do for yaoi, honestly...

[crouchingjonklerhiddenzonkler]

I have caught a break.

[crouchingjonklerhiddenzonkler]

I am cursed. On top of everything else, I now have a flat tire. I am supposed to drive quite a distance today.

[crouchingjonklerhiddenzonkler]

My steadfast beta is so fucking mean to me. Get a load of this. Just now, while I was in the middle of complaining about not having gotten to write much this week, they lifted their arm, pointed with their index finger at my computer desk, and told me to go write. Can you believe! The absolute nerve of this person!

[crouchingjonklerhiddenzonkler]

Joy! Yet another misfortune has befallen me today. The rest of them were all compounded off of the same issue, but this one is new and distinct.

[crouchingjonklerhiddenzonkler]

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that I have no fucking idea how to write social media posts.
