Trying This Writing Thing

I got a head injury in 2015 and started writing fanfiction in the hospital and frankly, it’s been downhill from there.

“i was born in the wrong era” not me, i love reading gay fanfiction about anime characters while listening to asmr at full volume and drinking copious amounts of tea

"nobody likes a complainer" you say, like an idiot, as if thriving ecosystems of friendships aren't blossoming every day based solely on people vocally disliking the same things in similar ways

I have been trapped in EruRi Hell for over a decade now but one thing that I’ve never seen fan works address is…Erwin wanted Levi as a weapon; he just kind of got saddled with Farlan and Isabel in the process, both of whom were woefully equipped to exist in the military. I want to know how Levi was able to forgive the military (Erwin, specifically) for effectively sending the only two friends that he ever had to their deaths when the brass could have just…not done that.

I’m sorry, but y’all cannot tell me that in the entire history of Spotify…not a single one of you has made a public thug trio playlist…? Are you all for real right now?

Dishonor on your cow.

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

A few years ago, someone wrote a huge ass rant and the. blocked me on here for predicting that Dabi was going to die by his own fire because there was a lot of context at the time to suggest that he was heading down the path of physical deterioration.

I’m still blocked, but I’ll forever be fucking right and proud of the fact that I’m not actually media-illiterate.

oh to be someone's favorite person

Send me your in-universe DabiHawks fan work suggestions; I’m hungry.

Bonus points are given for bottom!Hawks, toxic doomed yaoi, hate fucking, and burn play.

You guys NEED to stop treating Ineffable Bureaucracy (Gabriel x Bee) as a straight ship

[bvrtysbvtches]

ineffable bureaucracy won but at what cost

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.
