How did you get so good at writing??? Did you take classes? I feel like you should get paid all the money for this! (I subscribe to your website!)

after i dropped out of high school i found a torrent of like 5GB of OCRd romance novels and i read like 3 romance novels a day for a while

read enough romance novels and you will realize that they live or die entirely on technical skill. if you are new to romance novels then even bad ones can dazzle you with novelty but by the time you are on your 30th historical fake engagement between a bluestocking and a rakish duke you can grade them and you know when they've failed. when two books have what should be the same main characters hitting the same plot beats, but one of those books is delightful and the other fucking sucks, you learn some things. some books are bad and still delightful. other books are good but they just don't hit. you start to see the seams in the bad ones. 'oh, this is a weird out of character moment because she wanted to have the kabedon moment and didn't know how to get there'. 'she didn't want the ust to end but couldn't think of a better reason than this deus ex cockblock.' that kind of thing.

you could probably do this with other genres but i like romance because the plot is two people fall in love. that's it. everything else is set dressing. if you can figure out how to make that work you can carry it over into whatever other genre you feel like. mysteries would give you a different skillset around plotting that i don't have.

anyway after that i wrote a lot.

Woke up this morning to the second day of 2026 and spent the morning walking among families at the beach. The sun is shining. The air is clean. The universe is telling me it's time to post possibly the darkest fic I've even written.

Hello!I've seen that your requests are open ✨ Could I please request BSD boys reacting to a reader who can shift between realties? Characters: Dazai Osamu, Chuuya Nakahara, Nikolai Gogol. I think that Nikolai would be especially interested in shifting, since it can be so freeing to escape the current reality into a desired one. Thank you!

── YOU'RE FROM A WHOLE OTHER WORLD, A DIFFERENT DIMENSION ❞

✎ᝰ.ᐟ 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: HELL YEAH! ME BEING A SHIFTER THIS REQUEST MAKES ME SO EXCITED U HAVE NO IDEA.

(This is also based on how they reacted to me being a Shifter in my dr)

✎ᝰ.ᐟ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Dazai (lowkey) flirting w reader, gn!reader

══════════════════════════════

ㅤ 𓈒 ୭ৎ NAKAHARA CHUUYA 𝅄 🍷 ۪ ݁ 𓈒

☆ “WHAT?”

He freezes for two seconds, like when someone says something stupid… but then he understands that you were VERY sure.

– “Okay, say that again.”

And when you explain, he believes you faster than you think, because Chuuya lives surrounded by weirdness: curses, abilities… for him, shifting is just another crazy thing.

– “Okay, but… when you go to another reality, do they hurt you? Do you have a body there? Can you always come back?”

☆ He starts asking you things like he's your worried boyfriend, even though he isn't.

☆ Secretly, He's really intrigued and a little scared that there's a reality where he doesn't exist. He'll never admit it to you.

☆ “Just tell me you’re sure every time you do it. I’m not going to lose you over some interdimensional shit.”

══════════════════════════════

ㅤ 𓈒 ୭ৎ OSAMU DAZAI 𝅄 🔪 ۪ ݁ 𓈒

☆ He laughs. Of course he laughs.

“You shift… realities? Just like that?”

☆ But it’s not mockery, it’s excitement.

☆ Then, he sits next to you and looks at you with that damn smirk that says 'tell me absolutely everything’.

☆ “How many versions of me have you been in already?”

☆ He analyzes you as if you were a delicious riddle.

☆ He doesn’t judge you for a second, on the contrary, he believes you instantly, because he himself seems to come from another reality.

☆ He would be the most ANNOYING type.

“Can I come with you?”

“How do I go to one where I’ve already finished all the paperwork?”

☆ Secretly, he’s fascinated that someone can escape reality. It gives him a strange feeling… like hope.

☆ “Ah, love it. You’re even more interesting than I thought. Tell me, is there any reality where you’re mine?”

══════════════════════════════

ㅤ 𓈒 ୭ৎ NIKOLAI GOGOL 𝅄 ♠️ ۪ ݁ 𓈒

☆ He's the MOST dangerous person in the world to say that to. I'm being deadass.

He's silent for a microsecond…

His eyes light up.

– “OH, HOW WONDERFUL! HOW BEAUTIFUL! HOW INCREDIBLE!”

He grabs your shoulders and shakes you with excitement.

☆ Attitude. He asks you a million questions:

– “How do other realities feel?”

– “Can you see versions of me?”

– “Did you see me free? Did you see me in prison? Did you see me dead?”

☆ He's thrilled by the idea that hundreds of you exist.

☆ He loves that you can escape the confines of a single life. That obsesses him.

☆ “Ahhh, you’re PERFECT! You’re a walking chaos! I want you to take me to one where everything is even more dramatic!

"You quit your job and drove all night across state lines for one song, and for some reason, that convinced you to stay."  "Not true," Josh says, "I didn't need any convincing, the moment you said you wanted me to play with you I was already planning on never leaving again." Tyler laughs, and Josh grins at him.  "God, sometimes I really can't believe it, that it all. . . Worked out."  "We sell out arenas now," Josh muses. "It's crazy." 

not sure this fic concept will actually go anywhere but, this exchange lives in my head so rent-free that i need to share it.

Krahka goes to the grocery store and has to pretend that she knows what she's doing and has been in a grocery store many times in her life as a human woman.

summary:

There is blood under this Clancy's nails, blood in his teeth. His knuckles are split, almost perpetually, like his skin has given up on healing wounds that it knows will always come back.
