i actually kinda like it when a character getting better includes them becoming weirder and less polite and more confusing and strange. no more "domestication" i wanna see the weird guy be weird!!!
the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

Part of me secretly believes that if I make a really, really good and perfect piece of art that it will prevent people from ever being mean to me again. They'll say, "Wait, aren't you the one that made the really, really good and perfect piece of art? I'm so sorry for what I said. I thought the art was so good. I wish I had never hurt your feelings, now that I realize you are the one who made the art. I also have decided to agree with your political opinions. Here's a gift card."

Ok new game. What's the thing you're a fan of that you're the most pretentious about. NOT the most pretentious thing you're a fan of, I mean the thing that makes *you* act like one of those "oh yeah? Name five of their albums" people. There is a difference
Bad news: everyone who has said some variation of "umm actually I don't do that 🙏 I'm a good person" is more annoying than the rest of us confessing to our nerd crimes. Yes you do. I guarantee it you do. You're saying Um, Actually right now

Heyy I just finished reading sometimes we will fly away and I’ve gotta say, absolutely incredible work it’s everything that I’ve been wanting since I started getting back into tøp. Love and hope despite the horrors is my absolute favourite and you do it so well. Would you be cool with me printing and binding it? Either way, very excited for the next chapter :]
Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad it resonated with you and was able to fill that niche. Writing this has really been me discovering that "love and hope despite the horrors" is indeed my favorite kind of story to tell, and it's been fun to share that, too.
Also, that's mind blowing you'd want a physical copy of it, but honestly I've been thinking of doing the same thing once I'm done writing it, I'd just like to have a version I can hold since it means a lot to me. So absolutely, go for it! I'd love to see how that turns out, if you'd be willing to share pictures or something because that's just really cool to me!

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

edit as you write. use adverbs. use said. outline. or don’t. plot it. pants it. make a mary sue. who cares! just write whatever makes you happy. that’s all this is about. be happy in what you make.

foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing

the best stories contain two stories: the one you read the first time, and the one you read every time after that
being a writer leads to a genuinely helpful but also very stupid kind of mindfulness where you'll be having a sobbing breakdown or the worst anxiety attack of your life and think "okay, I really need to pay attention to how this feels. so I can incorporate it into my fanfiction."

people are wrong about chosen family. chosen family can become just as involuntary and inescapable as regular family if you use your fucking imagination

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.
the second best is the one the author used to work through some issues.
