Writers Are Scary Because We’ll Take Personal Trauma And Think, "Hmm… What If This Happened To My

Who is this DIVA?

Me leaving comments on fics.

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

"why does writing take so long" because 60% of it is coming up with a sentence, realizing that sentence doesn't work the way you want it to, and staring at a wall

you read stuff on wattpad for shit and giggles where most of the fics there are reader-inserted ones written in 1st person pov where y/n is a barely legal white girl with blonde hair and blue “orbs” who’s so smol and fragile that she’s dependent entirely on this morally questionable guy who’s killing people for a living but for some reason happens to have a soft spot for her.

you read real actual literature on archive of our own where it’s two middle aged men, who are each other’s sworn enemies, with tragic past, trauma and strong homoerotic tension. and while they’ve made each other bleed, killed each other’s friends and loved ones out of jealousy / possessiveness, lied and betrayed and manipulated, the rawness, depth, complexity and slow burn will keep you up all night, haunt you during your day and possibly change your life forever. and also the sex isn’t just smut. the sex is poetry that puts Shakespeare to shame

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore

Sometimes I can’t believe how cool yet weird Fanfiction writing is. I have so much power to do whatever I want. Like having Batman, Home Simpson and John Wick fight in a free for all for the rights of humanity in a complex political science fiction universe run by anthropomorphic cats.

Who gave me this power?!

why am I so far :(

au where everyone becomes their pfp go

Hey guess what?! I sketched bucky again :3 (and then threw it into procreate to polish a bit and add colour!)

Close-up, pencil sketch, and reference (he’s genuinely just shaped like that😵‍💫…) below:

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.
