When the writing Inspo hits so you’re so excited that you have to start pacing around the room as you audio record the thoughts going in your brain and you want to finish your project NOW to share it with others but you also want to spend time on it and make it the best you can but you also want to get its message out to the world

I have a dilemma.

I have a very cute idea for a Steve Harrington oneshot. It quite literally assaulted me while I was trying to fall asleep last night.

However, I think it works extremely well as BOTH fluff or smut.

Which would you like?

Fluffy version

Smutty version

Fuck just WRITE BOTH!!!

Voting ended onMay 7

If I write both, they could be little sister fics omg kinda cute? idk, tell me your thoughts.

HEY! They're both here now, by the way, if you care :)

the urge to write so much dialogue in italian vs the knowledge that i am not that fluent in italian and it’d probably be a bit stilty cause i’d have to use translators and also would make it harder to understand

What Scrolling Steals From You by Tessa Wrice

This video hurt because I saw so much of myself in her. I don't want to get too much about myself in these posts but for those that don't know I'm in a rough patch right now and this video was a lot like looking in a mirror. It's scary and sad to think how many people in their twenties relate to this. I am someone who was a straight A student in school, I was on the Dean's list, I received awards for being one of the best in my classes. I put off so much for the sake of studying and making sure I was the best and now that I'm not a student I feel like I have fallen victim to the mentality of I will let myself be happy when this happens and for me it was independence and financial stability that I was always told started with perfect grades. But now the job market is shit half of listings are fake and the world feels like it is crumblings around me. And you might be wondering what this has to do with doom scrolling and that is that many people turn to that and social media to distract them from the moment and distract them from being alone in their thoughts but if anything it just fuels the anxiety. I'm not one of those people that's like 'tHoSe DaMn pHoNeS" I personally think the internet and social media can inspire you as well as hurt you. If you feel like you just use social media as a distraction from the silence it might be time to limit your time on it. You'll be surprised how much you want to do with your life and how many hobbies you want to take up when you let yourself do something. As is a the common message of this video, let yourself be happy in the moment. Give your brain time to rest. I"m not here to tell you to ditch social media like I said it can be inspiring. But if you feel like all you do is scroll all day maybe take a break and try to be more critical of what you are consuming online and ask if it's inspiring you, motivating you or is it just keeping you anxious.

Below are some quotes from the video that stuck with me.

"I won't loose this moment searching for another." "Where ever you go there you are... You can't escape the self."

I have been very interested in glitch pokemon recently so have some doodles (also excited rambles below the cut)

The first guy is named Trainer. In the game, it appears as a magnemite that can only learn tackle and three glitch moves. It doesn't have the human version I drew in the games, but I got overexcited and drew one because:

Trainer is a hybrid glitch pokemon (it's part magnemite, obviously)

2. Doing the ditto glitch causes a junior trainer to appear

3. Its name is literally trainer

Anyway, so i came up with law for this one! An unnamed trainer got sick of people mocking and calling him and his partner, magnemite, weak, just because they stood at the edge of a route and lost battles to anyone who walked past. So when he heard about a mysterious "cursed" pokemon (Missingno) that lived off the shore of cinnabar island, he decided to gain everyones' respect by catching it.

But something went wrong. The pokemon fought back, and through some unnatural power, fused the trainer and his beloved magnemite together. Now he is forced to live alone in the forest, knowing that if anyone saw him something terrible would happen to him. His only escape is his ability to shift into a magnemite, letting him continue to challenge trainers... even if it isn't in the same way

Anyway, the next one is pkmnRpkmn (there's special characters that I can't include) It's a Pokemaniac type pokemon, and literally looks like a purple bug in the game. It has base stats of 601, making it better than mew (I think, idk exactly how stats work) there isn't much to say about this guy, except like most glitch pokemon, it is 23'0". I think that it should be much smaller, so let's pretend its 3'9"

I don't really have much lore for this one, unfortunately. The fact that it's a pokemaniac type is really cool though!

The final one is h POKé and it's a gengar hybrid pokemon. its cry changes every time you view its stats, and can sometimes cause the game to freeze (it's like the og perish song lol) Technically I should have drawn it as a glitchy purple square, but that's boring, so I drew it as "glitchgar" (i'm calling it this from now on) instead.

This little guy just wants friends. Sure, it may be a glitch pokemon, but that doesn't mean that its a mean pokemon. Everyone keeps running away when it tries to hug them or befriend them, but its willing to keep trying for as long as it takes.

Thank you for reading all of this I will now go draw some more and get overexcited about random stuff
