74: Young and Menace - Fall Out Boy
51: Visitor - Of Monsters and Men
A wide spectrum here lmao. Also, apparently I'm in the top 0.5% of Fall Out Boy listeners......... 2 years running. *I don't think I listen to that much Fall Out Boy, but here we are.*
Discord Server
Hi everyone!! I've been on and off of tumblr *forever*, but I've found that I really enjoy using discord for community-based stuff. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining a new writing server?? Or if there are any that you know about and would recommend?

These are all great tropes. I wouldn’t turn my nose up at any of them.
I’ve been out of the writeblr game for a while, so I actually don’t know who to tag for this stuff anymore! If you’d like to be tagged in the future drop me a comment or an ask or something. :)
hey, im so sorry if this is a dumb question, but how does one make a writeblr? like, what to do? where to start? where to publish the works? could you please help with the basics? thank you
Hi! It’s totally not a dumb question. It was scary for me to start this blog up at first, so it’s totally understandable that you’d be curious.
I guess the absolute basic is figure out whether you want a sideblog or a main blog for writing. I love this blog and I’ve put a lot of work into it, but it’s a sideblog, so I can’t leave asks for my friends or comments on posts from this blog, it’s always from my main, which can get a bit confusing if someone doesn’t know what my main blog is. That’s why I always sign my asks to other people with - Rhiannon. So if you want to figure out real basics, use a sideblog if you want everything connected and easily accessible, but use a main blog if you want separation, which I would have preferred, but everyone is different!
After that, what I started doing is following a bunch of other writeblrs. I looked at what they did. I commented on their projects and tried to get involved in tag games. I reblogged any resources that I thought would be helpful for me later, and I cataloged them really specifically so that I could find stuff later. I started posting information about my projects and my process and my characters, which don’t get as much traction as the other stuff, but I still try to do it anyway. So where to start your blog? Follow people. Try to make friends. Get involved in tag games or Storyteller Saturday. Save resources that could help you, because maybe they could help other people. And once you feel comfortable post your own writings! Rant about a plot point you’re stuck on and ask for help from other writers! Start a trend where you create moodboards or a specific poetry style for a project or a character. The sky is the limit, but if your scared, it’s okay to start off quietly. (Another tip for finding writeblrs and resources and stuff is to follow tags. Writing resources, writing help, writeblr, writers of tumblr, sci-fi [if thats your genre], etc.)
I don’t totally understand what you mean by where to publish your works? I know a lot of writeblrs are writing novels to work towards traditional publishing, and that’s a big rabbithole I’m really not qualified to speak on right now. Others are working on self publishing, either through programs like ingram sparks or kindle direct publishing. I haven’t actually put any books out that way either. Others are writing for wattpad or ao3 or a number of other free online sites. Even more still are simply writing for tumblr, especially poetry blogs and the like. If you want to post a full novel, chapter by chapter, right here? There are people who will read it. But in my little corner of the community, most people are publishing excerpts and things like that, with the eventual plan to publish a full book for purchase.
I hope this answered some of your basic questions? The question is pretty broad, so I have trouble answering specifics, but if you or anyone else has any further questions then I’ll be happy to answer as soon as I can!

9, 11, or 16 are all really cute! You don’t have to do them all ofc lol. Happy writing!
Thank you so much for requesting! It was a fun challenge to make them work together in a way that I thought made sense. This was cute, and we love to see Cas being the trickster fae that he is. Very different vibe to the last one. This one is fluffy and sweet and I could definitely see it in their epilogue. I hope you enjoy!!
*~*~*~*~*
“Casimir do you have any idea what has happened outside?”
“Whatever it is I didn’t do it.” He said, with even a second thought. He looked up from his work in the kitchen and grinned at me like he knew something I didn’t, which of course, he did.
He was cooking, which meant he must have thought I would be truly wrathful.
“Oh surely you didn’t. You would never cause trouble, would you?”
He turned back to the vegetables he was cutting with a casual shrug. “Of course, Mara. I’m a domesticated man. I live only to make your life easier.”
I laughed out loud, leaning my back against the counter and smacking his shoulder on the way. “Do you? Truly? That’s certainly not what I’ve been thinking.”
“No? What have you been thinking?”
“Only that you live to make me a madwoman. How did you even-”
He put down the knife, and moved in front of me, gripping the counter on either side of me so that I could not escape. I crossed my arms. I would not be swayed. Not even when he looked at me like that.
“Perhaps I drive you a bit mad.” He said, tucking a curl behind my ear. “But what else could you expect from me? I am but a simple man,” I scoffed, “With a beautiful wife, who I love so dearly.”
“Are you-Are you flirting with me? Now?”
“Is it working?”
“No.” I lied. He saw through me, and I felt the smile creep across my face, despite my best efforts.
He leaned in towards me, whispering in my ear “I’m going to kiss you now, if that is quite alright.”
I rolled my eyes and pulled him in for a kiss, breaking us apart once to say, “I’m still cross with you,” and again to say “You’re getting it off the roof this time. I won’t climb up there again.”
“Deal.” He replied, and we kissed again. And again. And again. And everything felt as if it was the way that should be.
Looking for someone to ask sensitivity questions?
Hey guys! I'm looking for writers who are POC, specifically black, who would be willing to answer a few questions regarding my current WIP and a black character. I'm a white woman, and just don't want to assume that I have all of the answers. If anyone is interested in lending me an ear, comment here or DM me! I'll explain the full situation.
Hey there. I love your advices. Can I ask a question, how can we write LGBTQ stories. There is this novel I am working on about the same and I want to know know how can we write about Transgender characters. Advice please!
Hi! I'm so glad that you like my content.
I try to include LGBTQ+ representation in most of my stories, both because representation is always really important, but also because I'm bi and I like to feel seen in the media that I consume, so I like to provide that for others.
On that note, though, I'm not trans! So I would recommend that when you're looking to write a trans character, you reach out to trans writers, or even trans friends who aren't involved in the writing world and, if they're comfortable, you ask them questions as it relates to your story. And then once you've finished, you send your story to sensitivity readers who are trans, and they might pick up on things or offer a perspective that you'd never even considered before, because you've never seen it through the lens of their life perspective.
There's never anything wrong with doing research. Typically, people appreciate the want to educate yourself and be respectful, and will help you out!
Last thing, I think that it's important to remember that, as far as I have heard, it's awesome to write stories with diverse casts, even if you aren't a part of those groups, but can be disrespectful to write stories about being diverse. I know that seems confusing, but in practice that means writing about an MC who is a superhero or a wizard or a college student that is trans and goes through a plot involving saving people, doing magic, or going to classes, is awesome. Them being trans can, and should come up. But if you aren't trans, don't write a story revolving around a trans character that experiences transphobia and learns to cope with it over the course of the story. Those stories are great, and necessary, but it's better left to someone who has been there and experienced those things.
So, in summary, talk to people. Trans writers, trans readers, and trans friends. You can reach out to your local LGBT center to see if they have resources or contacts. You can make a post asking for perspectives from people who are trans on social media. You can even Google specifics or general situations, just to get a baseline for situations that you're writing about. Putting representation of marginalized groups, like trans men, trans women, non-binary people, and everyone else on the gender spectrum is awesome. Sometimes there's no better feeling than seeing someone just like you go on an adventure and save the world. I'm so glad this is something that youre willing to look into and write respectfully!
If anyone knows of resources, or a masterpost of resources about writing LGBTQ+ characters, specifically transgender characters, feel free to share it here, or DM it to me and I'll reblog it!
the moon & high priestess :)
The Moon: I have written a love letter! I actually sometimes have a very hard time expressing love verbally, but I’m very good at writing about it. My last girlfriend was wonderful and I wrote her several love letters, poems, etc. and it was just really nice for the both of us. 10/10 would do again, for the right person. :)
High Priestess: I think it really depends on the context of the date. I’m very domestic, so I’d be most comfortable doing like a weekend long movie marathon or something, in pajamas and eating popcorn. But dates aren’t always about being comfortable. Sometimes the best way to bond is by doing something new or difficult. I love road trips, so maybe one of those random destination games where you roll a dice to see where you end up, then eat at the first restaurant you find? That has always seemed really cool to me. Or maybe like building something. IKEA is my jam. (I’m actually redoing my bedroom right now!!) So something like that could also be fun. Maybe I’m boring or too home-based, but that’s just how I am! I’m pretty easy to please.
