I Keep Being Told By My Friends That I Am A Empathetic Friend Who Is Lovely To Be A Around.

Real

The urge to wrap him up in a blanket and kill everyone who ever hurt him consumes me btw.

Don’t worry, it seems we’ve become mere echoes in your world. Why have we been cast into the shadows? Why does no one respond to my messages?

What I need is not money, but the simple feeling that we are still remembered by those around us.

All I ask is that you inquire about us, about our lives, our pain. Why have you left us to face this profound silence? Why have we no longer found a place in your concerns?

Did you think we are just a distant memory, forgotten with time? My messages are lost in the void, as if we are no longer part of this world. Just ask about us, so we feel that someone still cares, so we know we are still in your conscience.

Hello. If you do not mind questions Id be happy to ask some. I'm Ronnie from America, I'm not actually sure you'll see this but I'll give it a shot. It's nice to meet you.

How are you guys sleeping? Are you guys staying warm? What are some things you do to pass the time? What is one thing you really want to tell someone? What's going on?

silly strawhats my precious

So I know it can be hard to find aroace Alastor and Alastor/ platonic relationships content. But I have put together a list of Al bonding with the others platonically. (All are on AO3)

Escaped By A Hair by PurpleArrowandLeather

Alastor's retreat to lick his wounds nearly costs him his life. Thankfully, Charlie is worried enough to go looking for him.

Post Season One

Mother, Dearest by WritingSoupBowl

In Episode 6 instead of having a meeting Adam tries to kill Charlie and Vaggie. Trying to escape, they run into Al's mother.

You've Got A Face for Radio by ckret12

This one is specifically about how Alastor is Aroace and I love it.

"He's never wanted sex. He's never wanted love. He's never seen a problem with this.

It's taken about a century, but he's pleasantly surprised to discover that the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up with his perspective."

This one is adorable. Everyone gets sick and Al won't admit he needs rest.

To Make A Skirt by another_athena

This has to be one of my favorites in this list and it's longer. It focuses on Al and Angel a lot. It's incredibly clear that Alastor is Aroace in this one and I love it. Also boys wearing feminine clothes together. It's just adorable and it has some angst.

In sum: Angel is bored so Al teaches him how to sew.

(I love touch-averse Alastor so much)

Good Friends To the Second End by Neo_followthe whiterabbit

More platonic Al and Angel. It has a coming out scene with Al too and that's pretty good.

I love these two being friends.

Okay, those are all for now but I was wondering if anyone had any like these? I love reading stuff like these

I keep thinking about Squid Games season 2, and specifically why In-ho didn't reveal himself.

I heard a lot of people say that hom revealing himself as young-il would destroy Gi-hun, which I agree with. It would hit Gi-hun to the core. It would permanently change his ability to trust probably.

However, I do not think this would break him but rather, prove something. The ONLY reason why gi-huns plans didn't work was because In-ho has been by his side like a little weasel. And also, the same with the captain on the boat who is preventing that team from finding Gi-hun and the other players.

The first way in-ho messed with the game was by voting as a player after the first game. He voted for everyone to stay rather than everyone to go. He then made it sound like gi-huns fault.

He also messed with gi-huns mind and just said bullshit.

Most importantly, he sabotaged the revolution. The revolution that could of worked in Young-il was on their side. And then he killed Jung Bae, made it seem like Young-il died , and made it seem like it was all Gi-huns fault.

If he revealed that he was Young-il, then all of that pressure and guilt is no longer on Gi-hun. Right now he believes he is the one at fault. And sure he might still blame himself partly if he realized he was betrayed, but he would also know it was because someone sabotaged. Someone had purposely made him fail.

And honestly, I hate that In-ho mocked Gi-hun at the end for 'playing a hero' cause it's so manipulative and hypocritical (which I'm sure is the point and in-ho knows) and its like, Gi-hun doesn't deserve all the blame at all

(Ace/Aro/Aroace community when Alastor is confirmed Ace after years of having little to no representation)

To the rest of the queer community:

Yep, we do exist. We just don't have too much to talk about.

But seriously, since season one of Hazbin Hotel came out and it's been mentioned in the show that Alastor is ace I've seen more Aroace communication than in the last two years.

I kinda forgot that we could have real representation at all let alone my favorite character in my new hyperfixation. It came as a shock.

Writing Advice: 10 Worst Experiences During the Writing Process😭

The experiences to prepare for, and to relate to during the writing process. Good luck fellow author! 

10. When you are trying to think of the perfect word thats right at the tip of your tongue. (Its worse when you loose the word all together)

This one is at number 10 because it is horrible, but you are still mentally active and not ready to cry yourself to sleep. Though it stinks!

Solution:

Think of a similar word, usually the second one on your mind and look for synonyms on google or other sources. The word you’re looking for or a better one may come up. If not than either choose one of the options or look for synonyms of another similar word.

9. When you write something that may not be correct so you research the topic for an hour. (I’m not talking about the big stuff you should have looked into before you started writing, exp: cultures, I mean basically meaningless stuff)

This has happened to me twice (once about horses and once about how to grill a pig) It’s second on the list because it takes up more time than the first one and it’s annoying. But usually not demotivating.

Solution: 

Do not do it.

8. When you read an article or watch a video about writing and realize you have been doing it wrong the entire time. 

Do I have to explain?

Solution:

Take in the advice if you like it and continue on with your book using the advice but do not go back and change what you have already written. Leave that to your editor self.

7. When you are irresolute (look it up) because of a family/friend. colleague/ exd’s opinion. (I mean they talk down at you for being a writer, or something similar)

This is hard on our feelings box and/or heartbreaking. But this list is mostly my opinions and since I haven’t felt the crush of this fully, its higher. I am sorry for those who have been hurt.

Solution:

Don’t listen to them! In fact, let it fuel you. Show them who can do what! Or who can be successful! You can do anything!

6. When you feel overwhelmed. This may be because you can’t make yourself forget that you have so much to do before finishing the book. Maybe your busy.

The editing, marketing, and paying are what overwhelm me. The writing phase is not particularly easy, but it was less stressful for myself. It may not be the case for you. You may still have chapters to finish, a world to build, characters to create. It could be very stressful.

Solution:

Make it fun! Make it a game and your going through the levels. Once your done creating your world and characters, you can finally write! The thing you have been waiting for months! 

Remember, you are building your world. Enjoy every moment of it. Because one day, you will finish your book or series and you have to say goodbye to your baby and creation. Enjoy it while it lasts!

5. Losing motivation to write.

Are you surprised this is only half way down the list? I’m not. Even though this is horrible, it’s not the worst thing. There are simple solutions.

Solution:

It may be different for everyone but here’s a few ideas that are good for me.

1.Start writing. Yep. If you just write, that motivation will soon come back. (This works best if you are very familiar with your characters)

2. Look back through your notes and future plans. Get excited, again, for your book or series.

3.Watch videos and read articles about writing 😉, they can help you get through the problem or just be fun.

4. Remind yourself why you want to write and why writings fun. its different for everyone but reading is an example.

5. Sleep, be healthy, socialize, get sunlight and fresh air, exercise. These can clear your mind, get you in a good mood and helps your overall day.

4. When you realize your dialog sucks or unnatural. 

This may not be as bad as some of the others I already mentioned, but dialog can help or ruin a book. Dialog can spark ideas of character development, relationships, sub-plots, or even how to continue the overarching plot. But if you do it wrong, it can take forever to fix.

3. When you are stuck.    You want to write but you can’t think of anything. I like to call this Writer’s Traffic instead of Writer's block. 

This is one of the worst case of scenarios for me as a writer because I want to write but instead I am staring at a computer screen.

Solution:

Skip the scene. Skip the next few lines. Leave a note for yourself so you can come back to it at a better time. 

2. When you realize you don’t know your characters enough.

It’s hard to admit, but when your character is inconsistent and its not part of their personality then you have a problem. You may even have to rewrite most of your book if you’re far in. If you don’t know your characters and your on chapter 4 then stop now and save yourself.

Solution: 

Do character questionnaires, explain anything important in their past. Anything traumatic they have experienced, their personality, how they would react in a certain situation. It’s really important to know their background (Note: You need to know, not your readers unless necessary) 

Link to a character questionnaires. https://www.writerswrite.co.za/prousts-questionnaire-35-questions-every-character-should-answer/    also they got some awesome writing advice!

1.DUN DUN DUN!THE LAST ONE! When your writing (or lack of) has an effect on you daily life and you feel absolutely miserable.

You would be surprised how often this happened to me, It’s almost like a heavy depressed feeling that makes it painful to basically do anything. 

Maybe it’s outside writing that makes you feel this way but you just can’t write. Everything is dull and grim, your head hurts or you have no motivation to do anything.

You just can’t.

Solution:

Use your miserableness as a motivation. You want to get rid of it, right? Then you must do what helps. Here’s a few tricks. 

1. Drink water. Perhaps your dehydrated.

2. Exercise. This one is really helpful on more than your emotions. Do this before considering taking a nap, because naps can make it worse.

3. Go to bed earlier. If your like me than your nocturnal but if you simply go to bed at 10 then you will feel much better in the morning. I suggest reading or doing something other than look at a screen before going to bed. Screens can make it troublesome to fall asleep.

4. Socializing. You may be awkward but at least you have a mother? A father? Grandparents? A best friend? Siblings? Random people online? Anyone who can distract you, and make you feel better. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a pleasant conversation, just one that won’t bring you down. Socializing can make you feel so much better.

5. Get a horrible beta reader. (this is a joke…kind of) A beta reader is a person who reads your book or a chapter and gives feedback. A good beta reader is honest and gives praise and criticism. This is what I meant for a bad beta reader. Someone who you trust who will probably be scared to hurt your feelings. Even though it might not be true, positive feedback will help. 

That is all I have! I hoped you enjoyed! Have a Fantastic day! I will be posting again soon!
