Hope this doesn’t come off as me bashing on others headcanons but I find it extremely funny when people portray petey as a shorta housewife in the detey ship meanwhile dogman’s out here strolling up in a apron serving up breakfast for his adopted son that he found in a box a day ago.
Bros out here acting like he’s raised a kid before meanwhile Petey is constantly fumbling the bag when it comes to fatherhood (no hate to Petey he’s trying his best)
(Also yes I know this fandom and it’s popular headcanons have existed BEFORE the movie and the scene I’m talking about probably wasn’t exactly replicated from the book so really I’m just acting like a stupid new gen fan but SHHH SHHH)
Ive realized that, after everything with neil and the if-you-like-it-you-like-it-if-you-dont-you-dont ending of good omens, ive mostly fallen out of love with good omens. I dont read fics anymore, I dont go out of my way to look for fan art other than the two or three comics I still keep up with, and im def not reading the book anymore, even less so the script book that is now hiding in my closet instead of on my bookshelf
What sucks is i had ideas. I had multiple fics ideas, one that was meant to be multichapter and one that was dear to my heart. I still think about them. But I just. Can't bring myself to write them.
I think one of these days ill make a post explaining my ideas. I even have some bullet points for the multichapter. But I know ill never write them and want them to breathe. If someone wants to pick them up, ill let them
I hate that I feel this way about good omens now. I dont like bittersweet endings, but after everything with the allegations being true, it feels more bitter than sweet. And i just cant force myself to like good omens like I used to. So hopefully these ideas I have will resonate with someone who still has that love for the fandom I used to have
Edit to add, here's part one of my "what did ritz want to write" series: knock knock whos there oh my god youre bleeding
Was yapping about the witcher and trying to remember what spurred me to finally watch it (I didnt for the longest time because I used to be very squeamish so the bloodiness was a big no for me)
Then I remembered I was desperate to find whump fics and decided to just go thru the tag itself and stumbled on a geraskier fic. And said hm. U know. Why not.
Then I saw joey batey with bread in his pants and, well, the rest was history
when we say fic writers are a different breed, we mean it. when i was 15 my laptop had no battery, would turn off as soon as it was unplugged, the port for the cable was hanging out of the laptop itself, and my spacebar and capslock were broken, not to mention like 5 keys were missing. how did i write fanfiction you ask?
okay, since the trailer is out, heres my obligitory message to the lmk fandom:
tag your spoilers
"but its just the trailer right now" not everyone watches those. i almost didn't because i like to be completely surprised. not everyone has watched it and not everyone is going to watch it
"what if its not plot related?" its still a spoiler. and a lot of people have different ideas of what is and isn't plot related. i've had major things spoiled for other fandoms cuz ppl didnt think they were that important, but they were to me
"how am i supposed to know if something is a spoiler?" if it has ANYTHING to do with the trailer or s5, its a spoiler. it doesnt matter if its just an outfit or an interesting pose a character is making. its from the new season, be it the trailer or the show itself, so therefore you need to mark it as so
if you really dont want to take the time to put "lmk s5" or "lmk s5 spoiler" for some reason, then at least put a page break and a warning
like this (dont worry there arent actual spoilers under the cut):
possible s5 spoilers!
like that. its that easy
for those that dont know how to do it, you click this button
its the same symbol on mobile too
and if youre posting on tiktok, please put a warning before the video that gives fans ample time to scroll away if they want to
i got spoiled for major things in s4 and was devastated because of it. so please, lets all tag accordingly this time? my rule of thumb is tagging a minimum of 2 months after the english comes out, but i personally tag past 4-5 months just to make sure.
okay, thats all from me. happy s5 yall! lets be kind and respectful to each other and the new studio <3
idk who needs to hears this, but dont force yourself to keep writing something if you aren't liking it.
i wasted days just staring at this cute ficlet that was supposed to be fun to write. i was only at 400 words and felt like i was drowning trying to continue. i still wanted to write it though.
so i scrapped it and started over. i tweaked it ever so slightly, just one little detail that changed smth. and now im excited to keep going. im only at 200 words, but ive written that in 20 minutes vs the 400 in 6 days.
so, if you arent liking how smth is going, start over. dont be afraid to scrap things. it can be scary thinking of just not using the words you wrote, but sometimes its what needed
