The Writing Pikachu

I have no idea what I’m doing on here but no one knows who I am so I’ll just do what I want. She/Her, 22 writeblr. I post nearly all my own posts close to midnight when I care least about what others think.

Writeblr Intro!

Okay, so I’m finally doing a writing Intro. I’ve only been active on this site for 7 months and putting this off for one. Warning this may get long.

So, a little about me? I’m a 22 year old female from Australia, and I’m as unAustralian as they come. I’m also awkward as hell, I do not socialise, so if you message or tag me, be prepared for an awkward or cringe worthy response (I appreciate it though, thank-you!). But I’m super friendly just a little blunt, I get it from my mum, sorry! I started writing 9 years ago. I know it took me 12 years I day dreaming 24/7 to figure out writing is a career I should purse. I owe it all to a friend who encouraged me to share a story as part of a game, for the first time told someone one of my day dreams and she thought it was genius, so here I am 9 years later with half a novel, encyclopaedia of mythology, 100 or so countries, a bachelors degree and 20+ story plots to write. Not sure if I should thank her or hate her, jk, I love writing.

So, a little about my writing. I writing what would be considered high fantasy in a slice of life style, I don’t write like it’s an epic. My main genres would be fantasy, adventure and tragedy/psychological/romance. I focus on world building, mythology and characterisation. This probably all sounds like a weird combo, but it’s what I’d like to see more of on the shelves. 

So what am I writing, (all titles are works in progress):

The Witch of Moria, Series:

Book 1: The witch of Moria (My main wip) Teenage witch, demon is on the run as magic is illegal in her home country.

Book 2: The Assassin of ...

Book 3: ? Not up to this yet

Pre-equal: The Thief of Parahigo

Origins, set:

God of Knowledge (Still working on it) A gods origin story, really dark ending.

The First War. 

Hell’s Oldest Resident

Xyl

Mythology Encyclopaedias: These are more for personal use.

Demon

Angels

Undead

Fae

Monsters

I have others but decided not to include them.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I love talking about my work. It does get real in-depth with the world building, so be warned, because you might get a really long and confusing explanation that makes perfect sense to me. 

Thanks for Reading. If it seems interesting feel free to reblog or follow me. It would be much appreciated. And if this was too long for you all good!

every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called “maybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)”. now, it’s important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself

so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i don’t want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead

now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here

the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because he’s so ugly it’s an embarrassment to the family

eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second he’s in the living room, the next he’s back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again

and so it begins..

i was not fucking ready for this photograph

I've heard fiber art communities can be fucking nuts, but I just had one person I ordered yarn from local send me an email apologizing profusely about the fact my order would be a day late because she had to take her father to the hospital ( he's fine, thankfully), and earlier had another yarn seller worried I'd be upset the yarn I'd ordered from her was from two different animals, grown two different years.

The fuck did I get myself into?

[swords-n-spindles]

I buy all of my tools used from other fibre artists, and every single time they added a small (or large) something to the parcel like fibre, spin-ins, yarn markers etc. I once asked an indie dyer if a certain colourway would maybe come back at some point, and she immediately went out and bought the special dye needed for it, just so she could dye a batch for me. A team of Ravelry strangers once helped me reverse engineer a full lace shawl pattern from, like, two photos.

Fibre artists just are like that.

[kaiyonohime]

There’s fiber artists, as in multiple artists not connected to one another, that have faked their own deaths after they accidentally/purposefully oversold their yarn inventory and couldn’t keep up with demand.

The fiber arts community rocks every type of wild there can ever be.

[comfortabletextiles]

The fiber art Fandom is like a friendly grandma fibering away in her rocking chair. Always having tea and hot chocolate for your bad days. An absolute angel.

And then you lern, by accident, that she killed her three husband's

Broke: writing angst and tragedies in the story  

Woke: writing angst and tragedies in the story, but also funny jokes and lighthearted moments 

Enlightened: writing funny jokes and lighthearted moments that later reveal themselves to be foreshadowing or setting up tragedies and angst, making the jokes themselves a source of emotional pain, angst, and tears for the readers, and furthermore making the tragedies themselves a direct, bitter callback to lighter and simpler times

“Social contagion” shut the fuck up that is exactly the same shit that has been used against gay people. I’m exactly the kind of person you think you’re protecting, the cis autistic lesbian who questioned her gender as a teenager and guess what? You’re wrong. I’ve been involved in online LGBTQ communities since I was 12, and you know how much pressure I got from peers to identify as trans? Zero. Zilch. Absolutely none. What I did get was support, and space to explore the possibility that I was trans. All kids deserve that. No seriously, even kids who are definitely not trans deserve to know they can think about it if they need to. All kids should be able to learn about what being trans means. And see it shown in a positive light.

[fuqqet]

Fun fact! It is very normal and in some cases considered a stage of a child’s growth to experiment with gender/gender presentation, even if they’re nuerotypicals. It’s really healthy did kids to do this, even if they are cishet. In fact, this is such a normal part of the human growth cycle that many adults will do this!

Me: I'm going to design a map to put at the front of my wip like all the good fantasy books and it's going to look so cool and interesting

[anotherpapercut]

all video games should have a “I’m shit at video games but I’m curious about the story and I don’t want to watch a let’s play” mode

[anotherpapercut]

I am

[anotherpapercut]

I made this post because I am disabled and no matter how much I practice there are some games I will never be able to play because I physically cannot move my fingers the way you have to and the responses to this post from other disabled people, people who grew up unable to play video games, and people who just aren’t very good at them has been extremely enthusiastically positive, while people who apparently can’t conceive of the idea that some people will never be good at gaming condescendingly comment, tag or send me asks telling me to try easy mode or to get good despite the fact that the feature I’m describing already exists in some games and mods. if you’re part of the latter group, consider that some of us can not ever be good at video games and we still deserve to be able to participate and have fun

i no longer respect the hustle i want universal basic income and dignity for everyone

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

the best way to support libraries is to use libraries. go get a card, check something out. not a big reader? they got movies. they got games. yes, like botw and fallout and let’s go eevee. they also have cds that yes, we workers know you take home and rip to your computer. we also do it. 

if you have a well funded library you might even have access to maker spaces that have 3D printers. or video/audio recording equipment. libraries aren’t these tomb silent homes for books any more. they’re community spaces. they’re full of life and things. 

put a middle finger up at jeffrey bezos and support your local library

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

did i mention we have printing services that are significantly cheaper than anywhere else? printers are evil, let us handle them for you.

[raevenlywrites]

Cheaper or sometimes even free depending on where you live. My library offers 100 free B&W pages AND 100 free color pages a year (and when I say free you should read “already paid for by your tax dollars- you paid for it, go use it!)

[thewritingpikachu]

I think one of the best things about studying creative writing is that the majority of assignments are short stories, and therefore don’t need citations.

Like I did an entire University degree and only had to cite about 6 assignments over a 3 year course.

[anapplepie]

yeah
