Tumblr Users Love Reading. You Literally Stopped For This Post Just Because It Has Words In It

Quick info and rules rundown:

I'm trying to fill in a niche that is often negleted in tumblr writing spaces! I want to write canon characters only (which means no x reader or y/n).

I write drabbles and one shots as well as headcanons.

This will most likely be smut-free but other mature content may appear - properly tagged of course.

I will write ship, platonic or character-focused content.

I mainly write for Genshin Impact but I might do something for Honkai Star Rail, even though I am not up to date.

I take requests.

A Simple Trick for Fic Writers

Hey, if you're a fic writer and a character speaks in a different language, you don't just have to add the translation in the notes. Use the following HTML coding to add 'text on hover' to the word(s). If the reader is on a computer they can hover over the text to see the translation.

<div title="This is the text in the box!">This is the text that shows in your fic!</div>

Here are some examples from a fic on my AO3.

This coding here <div title="a fool, idiot (lit. emptyhead)">Eyn utreekov</div> will show this on hover.

This next example shows that you can add a lot of text. The formatting is the same as above.

PS: When doing this, there may be spacing issues, but you can edit the text through AO3's html or rich text editor. From there you can add italics (like I did), bold, etc, and fix any weird spacing issues. Just be careful not to delete the coding that you worked so hard on 😂

my knight...

I don’t know which fic writer needs to hear this but it’s unreasonable to expect of yourself to write all the story ideas that your mind comes up with. That’s not how creativity works! Unless you’re some kind of Productivity Georg that types at a laptop keyboard all day long, your mind just needs to rotate ideas and concepts like a room full of rotisserie chicken production lines. Some of them will end up being fully written, some of them will end up being 4 lines, some of them will be concepts inside a long list of fic ideas that will never get written, some of them will just fade. And that’s okay! You don’t have to beat yourself up for having a lot of ideas you don’t write, or a lot of wips you write a few lines or pages of and never finish. You wouldn’t expect an illustrator to just churn out full-ass paintings all the time, an artist will also just make sketches, line art, warm-up exercises, will just scribble some lines on a piece of paper. Your ideas and wips are just the same thing: warm-up sketches, exercises in creativity. And it’s also okay if you never really produce full fics, as long as your brain enjoys the exercise. Jogging across the neighborhood is not useless unless you win a marathon! It gives you endophins and strengthens your muscles and is healthy for you all around, right? Your fic ideas and pile of wips are the jogging. They give your brain the happy chemicals and exercise your creative muscles. You are not a failure for not turning your ideas into finished products. That’s just how it works.

i’m seeing ppl complaining that Dehya is fake catgirl bc her cat ears are just hair, but for me it makes it 1000% better bc like. She’s this tough, no-nonsense hardened mercenary and every day she takes time to style fake cat ears out of her hair. and they are not just triangular buns like Keqing’s, no, they are specifically ear-shaped, she clearly intended them to look like cat ears.

and it actually fits with her idle where she checks her make up in a little mirror, but hides it hastily so others won’t notice. like she clearly cares about her appearance, but pretends not to, and the cutesy cat ears are like whatever, no big deal, as if it wouldn’t take a lot of effort to style them. just like when she does smth nice for other ppl she pretends she didn’t do it or that it was nothing much, despite like giving everything she had. incredible character choice i love it

Emergency Comissions! Help a struggling artist!

Hi! This is not a post I wanted to have to make, but seeing as the circumstances that have come up, I figured I should and see if anyone can help.

I havent been getting the hours i need to survive at work, and one of my pet rats has become ill and needs a vet visit, and i desperately need the funds to cover the cost of the appointment and the likely expensive medication she will need. So, I have opened Emergency Comissions to try and get the funds i need.

I am struggling at the moment, and any sort of money can help me while i try to cover the costs for her vet bills as well as groceries and my train fees for my University classes.

Ive done up a quick thing here with my prices, and all prices are listed in AUD or Australian dollars, and ill do a conversion for anyone needing one. Payment will be over paypal. If interested send me a pm or comment and ill pm you. Anything helps, even if its just $10 for a sketch.

Genshin redesign 4/? Amber! (and baron bunny)

I wanted her to appear a little more mature, Amelia Earhart/early pilots were my inspiration and mixed with fantasy scout style vibes. She’s always given me big sister/auntie vibes so this is me giving her that. Baron bunny is her copilot!
