#writing shit

*Me sitting down to write smut.*

But first! We must thoroughly understand this man's fractured and devastated sense of self. Only then can we truly appreciate how connected he feels to her while finger-banging the soul from her body.

Having confidence in your writing abilities is just as much a skill you need to cultivate as actually writing is.

It's normal to doubt yourself, it's just important to learn how to look past your doubts and recognize that letting yourself worry about the possibility that your writing sucks will never make you a better writer. The only thing that will make you a better writer is writing, so stop worrying about whether you're any good and WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading your own story is weird because you actually like that one, it has a good plot and like everything in it what you‘re looking for in a story but you can‘t stop thinking “This is the worst story ever” the whole time.

Do you ever just write a slow burn so good that it makes you root for the characters that you know are going to end up together because you wrote the damn thing, but are still questioning if the characters are really gonna make it?

spend 40 hours on a fic or art piece? absolute radio silence. two likes, one reblog, and a single ghost whispering “nice effort” in the void.

then someone posts “fuck me (insert character name)” and it ascends to godhood. the notes multiply like rabbits on caffeine. staff is probably watching it like, “mmmyes… this is culture.”

meanwhile i spend 30 minutes and 5 shots of vodka creating a meme powered entirely by spite and poor life choices, and suddenly it’s on everyone’s dash like a curse with a great marketing team.

moral of the story: there is no formula. you just lob your little creations into the abyss and pray they smack the right degen in the face. next thing you know, you’ve trauma-bonded and gained a lifelong friend who also hasn’t slept since 2014.

Pickle SFW Headcannon Ideas

♡⊱─── ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ ─── ⊰♡

Teacher headcannon ideas:

You volunteered to be Pickle's teacher at the military base, teaching him the basics of education of learning; like reading, writing, colors, manners, and communication.

He loves to listen to you read, even he doesn't understand, its a delight to him to listen to you read

Teaching him colors while drawing with markers and stickers is a joy to him, especially he'll put stickers on his own face

Teaching him how to put on clothes is foreign to him, but later in line he'll get used to it once he's out in public

Him learning to speak takes time he appreciates you being patient

Showing him different hair styles, especially braiding hair is his favorite to learn. He can't get enough of the feeling of your hands touching his locks. When you showed him how to put on a ponytail, he finds it very insightful, hell its better-! That way no loose hair would get in his face when he fights in the future!

He would be distracted by your gentle touches, your hands guiding him on how to spell words when writing or how to position his hands while holding a pencil.

Teaching him on boundaries is a huge one he still needs to grasp on before he gets in trouble from making a fool of himself into the public.

You train him with dog training tactics, praise him with treats of raw meat; "Good job Pickle!" "It's okay Pickle, it doesn't' have to be perfect, it just has to be done." "This is great!" He loves praises.

He is touch starved for comfort. Simple hugs and gentle face touching is enough for him, even holding hand's too is enough with patience and grace he'll open up to trusting you to hug/handhold/touch his face

He'll bring you meat he hunted with pride as gifts, to ensure you have enough protein and fill to see you happy.

Seeing you watch his fights is a joy to him to know that he's supported

Father figure headcannon ideas:

He'll visit your home under disguise, he'll recognize your scent once he finds you, you'll more likely stick out like a soar thumb to his senses

He finds you babysitting a toddler, he immediately sees himself in the kid, memories' flood back to him, not so fond ones.

He vows to be a good example to the kid an make sure they don't end up like him, alone, hurt, lonely

Pickle would play with the lil kid like its his own

teaching them to growl

teaching them to walk on all fours

teaching them to fight

He would let them have piggyback rides

He'd protect them while taking naps

He will likely adopt a kid, not one, not two, maybe three

He'll carry the toddler's like a cat carrying it's kittens in his strong jaws whenever the kids are fussing/whining.

He'd give them his fare share of his prized food he hunted making sure they grow up big and strong
