I Wish Ao3 Allowed People To Give Kudos Per Each Chapter. These 100k Word NOVELS Need More Love Than

2018 was 2 year, 2020 was last year, you feel me?

I just wrote 2020 for the date… oh it’s real bad out here chat

*eats it*

*offers you a cigarette except out of a crayon box and it's a crayon*

Does anyone know what you’d call the trope in fanfiction where

The MC/Ensemble gets isekai’d/sent back in time/banished or leaves

they decide to build their own Homebase/settlement/Nation where they do things their way which is usually better/more advanced than what their enemies/other people do? sometimes they use a pre-existing

Usually with magic/similar powers or with future knowledge/scientific advances.

MC is usually the leader and is leading the charge with the changes. MC draws people in with charisma, power, and revolutionary changes. Side characters are usually the first ones to join the MC

Bad Guys can’t compete(or at least can’t keep up with their advancement), but usually outnumber MC’s group so it's not immediately one-sided in favor of the protags

Sometimes there is a godlike being that initiates the initial send-off to ‘fix’ something although they usually allow the MC to operate how they want to. Sometimes they only care for their own entertainment or are not godly and are out of their depth.

If there isn’t a name for it I propose Basebuilding on the smaller scale and Nationbuilding on the larger scale

anyways, any fic recs? cause I usually read this trope with like Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, or Naruto but I have found it in ATLA and MHA before too. I think I've seen it in the MCU fandom with like Tony accidentally taking over the world, and in the HTTYD fandom with like Hiccup single-handedly creating a Viking renaissance, but I think it would be a neat concept for a Percy Jackson fic.

me when I disappoint my boss by turning into a large roach (entirely my fault I should have considered how understaffed we are)

It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like

^shikamaru’s visuals for my fic “the twelfth guardian” posted like five minutes ago.

okay, context: for the longest time i had this plot bunny about naruto being raised at the daimyo’s mansion and i finally wrote it for a shikanaru fic. only, it’s entirely from shikamaru’s pov and it’s plot heavy and i ended up writing it out for four days straight (it’s not complete but mostly it’s done) and i had way more fun with it than i thought i would. sometimes, writing for fics helps you articulate a thought you never realised you had and it happened quite a few times with this fic. i ended up making art for it because i was so absorbed by the images in my head (i’ll upload more stuff as the other two chapters come out). currently, the doc sits at 24k+ words and this will end up being around 32k i reckon. also, most importantly, this is the reference image i used for shika! it was originally from a tutorial. i’m not good at making up characters from memory or creating believable poses (using a laptop-app for digital art for the first time!) but i’m good at sketching from a source. so this helped immensely. making his sword was super fun!! anyway, goooo read if the summary is your vibe and lemme know your thoughts!

happy holidays!! <3

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!
