Found a new prompt generator and thought I'd give it a whirl and see what it came up with for the boys. It's like it follows my blog or something.

(also, I ordered my new laptop charger and it'll be here today, hopefully)

Trying to write this lengthy small town thriller Daiken fic has really made me think about my own writing style. It really lends itself well to short, choppy, poetic prose and trying to write chapter after chapter of a long narrative driven fic is so hard.

A couple of random writing snippets from this fic:

In what would come to be considered Daisuke’s first real act of rebellion against the world’s plan for him, Daisuke emerged suddenly in a burst of blood and amniotic fluid at precisely 12:03 AM in the front room of an old, dingy ramen shop a good half an hour away from the nearest hospital. He was surrounded not by the familiar warmth of family and loved ones but by an irate ramen chef, a handful of panicked customers, and the smell of braised pork and steamed gyoza.

--

Though the night air was still, the trees creaked and swayed ominously - their long, arm-like branches seeming to reach out of the darkness with gnarled bone-white fingers to grasp at Daisuke's exposed skin and loose fitting clothes as he moved deeper into the forest.

--

Also there is this sailing boat metaphor for Daisuke being AFAB/trans that I can't let go of and it's driving me insane because I think it could be really good but I can't get it quite right and everything is too poetic and it makes it kind of hard to write normal character interactions when my prose is like:

And then, two weeks before she was to be married, Misaki tipped the boat. No, that wasn’t quite right. It was Daisuke that tipped the boat - or rather, he chose to ram it full speed into unknown waters and was left to cling to the driftwood that remained when the boat Misaki had sailed in since the day she was born smashed, inevitably, violently, against the rocks.

This was gonna be for @campdigimonth but I forgot to sign up before the deadline (the holidays were really stressful okay?) so here are some personal and creative goals for the year instead.

New Trans!Davis thought:

What if Davis is AFAB and has been living in the real world as a girl because he has to due to society or his parents or what have you and when he goes to the Digital World for the first time the Digital World does what it always does and reflects Davis’ real self, his real thoughts and feelings and so instead of just changing his clothes it reshapes his appearance to how he wishes he could be?
