#not-writing

[novella-november]

I forgot to take a screenshot of the full anon before I blocked them, but if you try to send in mile-long ""polite"" rants about, and this is a very very condensed summary:

"you're my new favorite writing motivation blog, but could you please consider not reblogging so many Palestine posts? could you please consider not posting stuff for Palestine? its really fracturing for the writing community and there's plenty of other bloggers who are sharing them, you don't need to do it too. I know it's probably an important cause to you but don't you think you should try to keep the community focused on writing?"

you will just get blocked.

If you have a platform, you are morally obligated to speak up against genocide.

I am no celebrity, but this blog has reach, and I will use that reach where I can to post once a day, as I have been, links to Gazafunds where you can donate to a random, vetted fundraiser, as well as the link to where you can click a button on a page once a day for six causes and generate ad revenue to help charities and NGOs when you don't have the money to donate directly.

""Theres already plenty of people sharing those posts"" --

-- until the genocide is over and Palestine is free there will never be enough people sharing and reblogging these posts.

If you have a platform you're morally obligated to speak out against genocide. And I will continue to do so until the genocide is over and the people are freed from tyranny.

[ID: a cropped Tumblr Mobile notification for an anonymous Ask that partially reads "Hi! I'm following your blog to have some motivation..." The rest of the text is cut off by the small notification size. End ID]

Hopefully I'll only have to make *this* post just once, and after today I will continue my daily reblog of the art post, but if you see me self-reblogging this post again in the future, it's safe to say someone else *tried* to come in my inbox to complain again.

Anyways:

Don't forget your daily clicks:

If you have the actual money to spare, please consider donating using GazaFunds to donate directly to vetted fundraisers

I just remembered why I grabbed my laptop in the first place-

I was going to force myself to sit down and work on my book's outline

and it's been almost 3 hours worth of doomscrolling with a twitch stream open in another tab and a few webtoons that updated

.....

whoops, should've known that would happen lol-

whumptober what-we-could-have-won

I never got round to doing anything for @whumptober in advance because September was a washout creativity-wise, and now I'm ill with a cold and feeling very sorry for myself, so I brainstormed what I would have written for the first six days if this were a more organised, healthier timeline:

#1 Race against the clock/search party/panic attack

During the 16 years Lan Wangji accompanies SIzhui on his first night hunt, along with a bunch of other juniors; Sizhui goes missing and during the panicked search Lan Wangji about loses his mind with fear/guilt/torturous neuroses related to losing other people he loved

#2 Trust issues

At Qiongqi Path Lan Wangji is more persistent at trying to get Wei Wuxian to stop from fleeing with the Wen; torn, Wei Wuxian allows himself to be delayed by their angst-ridden conversation...long enough for Jin reinforcements, dispatched unbeknownst to Lan Wangji, to arrive

#3 Set up for failure/Wrongfully arrested/"I warned you"

At Wen Indoctrination Camp both Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are taken down to the dungeon; with adjoining cells, they are each forced to helplessly witness the other's torture

#4 Hallucinations/"you're still alive in my head"

In the Cold Pond Cave after his punishment, Lan Wangji hallucinates Wei Wuxian's presence and multiple guilt-ridden conversations; despite knowing it isn't real, when it's eventually time for him to leave he wishes he could stay (imaginary Wei Wuxian is better than no Wei Wuxian)

#5 Sunburn/heatstroke

During a post-canon diplomatic visit to Lotus Pier, an overworked, over-stressed Lan Wangji collapses with heatstroke; Wei Wuxian provides emergency treatment, hovers worriedly at his bedside, etc. Bonus: they're not yet together, Wei Wuxian's relationship with Jiang Cheng is still very brittle for extra angst

#6 Not realising they're injured

During Lan Wangji's visit to the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian gets injured in the chaos following Wen Ning's waking up, but is so used to being in constant pain/distracted by the circumstances he doesn't notice until it's all over and - you guessed it - collapses bloodily into Lan Wangji's arms

Should probably make a Smalls Masterpost at this point

[dreamingofscully]

Me every night: time for bed, not because i’m tired but because i have my best msr thoughts lying in bed waiting for unconsciousness; this not-writing thing feels indulgent, i’m just thinking because it’s nice and comforting not because i have to turn it into anything; maybe i’ll write again, but for now imma be selfish, soz

[yakuzaimagines]

What do you guys think if i open matchups for a bit in a few hours?
