naming a character is like naming a child, except this child can potentially lead a revolution, save the world, or die in chapter three.
waw....

Let yourself be self indulgent
Writing is the one time you can be completely self indulgent without having to feel even a little bit bad about it.
Embrace it! Let yourself wallow, explore, overthink, test your boundaries. Opening yourself up to the experience is the mark of a great writer.
lowkey guys, remember to write for yourself too. i abandoned my favorite wip of all time for two years because i thought other people wouldn’t like it. that sucked, and i decided to stop caring if other people will think it’s weird and write what i like. it’s made me a lot happier since i’ve accepted that
I just think people write out of obligation too often.
"How do I motivate myself to write through the boring part of my story?"
"How do I make this boring scene not boring?"
Don't write it.
Don't write boring things just because you think the structure of the story demands it. I promise it doesn't need to be there.
If your characters need to have gone shopping for a later part of the story to make sense you can just have a sentence about how they went shopping and move on.
You are not obligated to write the boring parts. No matter what those parts are.
You are not obligated to make the parts of your story that you're not excited to write interesting somehow.
You can just write the fun and interesting parts and gloss over and summarize boring things.
Your audience will thank you and you will thank yourself.

The book: Mo Ran has a massive dick!
Absolute unit. Truly awe-inspiring.

This is why writers abandon stories. It’s not that we don’t love them, it’s because we don’t want to love them alone.

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome in the sense that they can take one single scene, that lasts less than a minute, from the source material and turn that one single scene into a 40k word long fic with depth, feels, character study and development and create a whole storyline out of that one single canonical moment.
fanfic writers are so fucking awesome in the sense that they can take one single scene, that lasts less than a minute, from the source material and write 40 entirely different fics about that one single canonical moment and each one of those fics are literal masterpieces.
shout out to us fanfic writers ♡♡♡♡♡♡
people always talk about leaving comments on ao3 like it's a nice thing to do, or the best way to encourage writers to keep writing, or overall like it's how you Do Your Part in fandom
and yeah, all those things are true, but having spent the past few months leaving enthusiastic comments on as many things as i can, i have a different perspective
you should leave comments on fics because it's fun
taking the time to stop and focus on what i like about a story has made me way more aware of what's going on in stories and what i like about them. there's bit more actual comprehension and appreciation and not just beaming content into my eyes to fill time
i like noticing cool little things in fics, or riffing on funny events. i've never been very good at speculating or picking apart characters, but sometimes something clicks and it rocks.
and of course it's pretty nice when you get a response and it's clear you've made another person happy
so yeah, you should leave comments for your own sake, too. it makes reading better!
The fact that Yoohyun and Yoojin are equally (but differently relative to each other) crazy. And wild. And weird. And scary. Both of them. If Yoohyun destroyed the world, Yoojin would find an excuse. If Yoojin destroyed the world, Yoohyun would think the world wasn't worthy of his brother

personally, I think people are allowed to ship a “toxic ship” as long as it’s fictional and they can separate fiction from reality. shipping a fictional “problematic ship” doesn’t mean you’re “abuse apologist” in real life. the same way people who enjoy fictional villains are not “murderers” in real life.
it’s okay if you think this ship makes you uncomfortable and so you personally dislike it. what you can and should do is avoid their contents and refrain from interacting with people who do ship them. that mute and block buttons are your friends.
what you shouldn’t do, though, is harass people who ship them and brag about how they’re “red flags irl” and how you’re “morally superior” simply because of fictional characters.
I promise you, minding your own business and not caring about what ship strangers on the internet ship will make your fandom so much less toxic and a whole lot more enjoyable.
AO3 writers when canon sucks:
lol since this has to be said again; constructive criticism is good only when it’s explicitly asked for by the creators.
if they didn’t ask for one then no, you’re not giving your favorite AO3 writer “constructive criticism” to help them improve their writing, by listing the things you want fixed in their work in the comment. you’re giving them the orders of what you want and what you think they should write for you for free. you’re being self-centered and rude and, instead of “motivating” them to write more, you’re discouraging them and are making them consider stopping writing or sharing their works altogether.
unless the author specifically asked you for constructive criticism, keep that to yourself and either tell them nice things or don’t say anything at all.
a reminder that fanfic writers write as their hobby, for free. they’re not writing in order to sell their works. they’re writing because they’re passionate about the characters and the stories, and most importantly, they’re writing for themselves. they’re only allowing you — the reader — to read their work as a gift because they were hoping they could make your day a little better. but they’re writing for themselves. they’re not writing to please you or anybody.
if you don’t like the gift or if you don’t have anything positive to say about the gift you were given, there’s literally zero reason for you to make sure the person, who’s kind enough to give you a gift, knows how you dislike their gift or how you think the gift could be “better”. that is just unnecessary and extremely rude.
Trust me, you don’t wanna know how much and how exactly I fantasize about men.
Saving these until I finally decide to write a reborn fanfic
I know it sounds weird but I am in need of Italian words/phrasings the Papas would say to each other in the middle of an argument or fight. Or just annoyed and don't want to talk or do something they are asked to.
Things on the line off fuck off, dickhead and so on.
This is actually a really good question, too. Not weird at all. A few choices:
“Va a farti fottere!” - get fucked, go get fucked, fuck off
“Testa di cazzo” - literally dickhead
“Fottuto” - fuckface, fucker, stupid fuck
“Non rompere” or “non rompermi i coglioni” - Stop busting my balls, don’t break my balls (stop bothering/annoying me)
“Mi stai sulle palle” - You fucking piss me off/bug the shit out of me
The famous “Vaffanculo” is a bit controversial, because although it’s intended as “fuck you,” there’s a slight edge of homophobia to it, since it literally means “go fuck somebody’s ass.” Having said that, few in Italy really use it in that sense consciously…they really are just saying “fuck you.”
“Fratellaccio del culo” - a fun one because you’re saying “stupidass brother”
“Sei pieno di merda” - you’re full of shit
“Sono cazzate” or “che stronzata”- this is bullshit
“Ma va!” - believe it or not, in the right inflection, this short expression means “don’t be ridiculous”
“Mentecatto” - another way to say “idiot”
“Non si combina niente qui!” - we aren’t resolving anything!
Hope this helps! As always, if you need a direct translation of anything for your particular fic, feel free to send me a message (not an inbox ask, since I have to answer those publicly).
Also, the usual disclaimers apply: nobody’s perfect, I also use regional phrases, happy to be corrected if I screw up, etc.
The thing about khr is that they don’t make more fics about the adults. Like you know, the arcos?? I would die just to read a good fic about Fon/Reborn with one-sided Skull. The potential of an obsessive jealous Skull but Fon and Reborn just can’t keep their hands off each other??
Or like a Verde/Reborn although idk how that works??
I feel like I need more iron dad and spider son fics
I want to write a fic but my mind just can’t continue one thought
