From now through March you can send me an ask with a (sfw) prompt you'd like me to write! As long as I'm comfortable with it, I'll start working on my responses in April.
Prompts can be for fic or your own original idea and while I mostly write for MHA, if you have smth else in mind there's no harm in asking if I'm familiar with the fandom :)
also, if you're interested in any of the fic wips i've talked about on here (or my in-progress ao3 fics) you can send me an ask with the title and i'll be sure to set aside time to work on them and share snippets of my progress! (fic wips listed below the cut)
I'm excited to see your prompts!!
tumblr fic wips
short for grenade: talked about here, here, and here a la three wise men and a baby (i seriously need a better title for this series lmao): part 1 & part 2 probably not, dabihawks version: here (and the official, slightly more polished version of the platonic-ish bkdk 'probably not' piece is on ao3 here) let it sink in: here spelling bee monster: mentioned at the bottom of the fake tweet post, here trophy husband, who?: here cat-suki: here (legitimately forgot i'd posted about this one lol)

Happy kidnap your friend(?) day!
Deny, deflect, detonate (and detonate one more time for good measure)
Idiot, dumbass, useless, stupid (affectionate)
This house is a prison
When your secrets keep being spilt by a guy you're not even telling them to

The End :)
So summer daze (my MHA Coraline au) is literally kicking my ass rn and I cannot comprehend why but I had a fic idea yesterday and managed to crank out 8k words in nearly one sitting. And I know it’s me doing these things but somehow it feels like someone else is pulling the levers -_-
Lever 1: really developed idea but no writing
Lever 2: silly little whim and lots of writing
God/the voices: pull them both! muahahaha!
Chilchuck and Marcille are so sibling-coded in this scene lmao
Chilchuck, embodying the well-known rage of being forced into an apology by your mom only to get a smartass response:
That is the face of a man who swallowed his pride and then choked on it
The other day I made some progress on my WIP Cat-suki (quirk accident where Bakugou turns into a cat when stressed/anxious) and this is how it started:
“Stop poking me,” Bakugou told Recovery Girl.
“Stop getting hurt,” Recovery Girl shot back, tapping Bakugou’s knee with a small hammer to test his reflexes.
Bakugou used the opportunity to try and kick Recovery Girl’s shin.
And this is where it went:
“Why the fuck are you doing this?” Bakugou asked, the bluster in his voice not enough to distract from the quickened pace of his breathing.
“Because you are in my care.” Aizawa answered, rising from his chair.
Bakugou’s head shot up from where he’d been stubbornly focused on his knees.
“Because you are safe,” Aizawa continued, taking a measured seat at the farthest end of Bakugou’s cot.
Beyond the window they both faced, the sun was beginning to settle over Heights Alliance. Midoriya’s flustered voice carried over from the dorms.
Aizawa let loose a slow sigh and he let Bakugou hear the weariness in his tone.
“Because we all struggle with something.”

Sealed (planning/ first draft stage) | Horror/thriller, mystery, sapphic
A sapphic, coming-of-age story set in a small town where ghosts are reviled, ghost-catcher's are revered, and violent attacks are starting to pile up. An unlucky medium named Nishtha forms an unlikely bond with Veronica, a Catching prodigy, when their secrets are exposed to each other entirely by accident, meanwhile the bond between childhood sweethearts Cherry and Carter is put to the test when Cherry is offered a Catching apprenticeship by her mysterious uncle and the medium cousin who almost killed Carter as a child is released form jail with a story to tell that Carter doesn't want to hear. (Multiple POV)
All It's Worth (planning/ first draft stage) | Sci-fi/fantasy, adventure, queer romance
Set on a dying planet fraught with drought, Meric thinks his life will finally change for the better when the Prophets announce that there are two from his farming town with a Calling. Instead, he accidentally thwarts an assassination attempt on the young heir of House Myre and is forced to watch on as his neighbors pay the price. Ten years later, Meric has finally faked his way into the Priesthood when a chance encounter with the boy he saved so long ago thrusts them both into the heart of a conspiracy far older and far more dangerous than they realize
Forest Fire (planning/ first draft stage) | Mystery, magical realism, new adult fiction
Lincoln was fourteen when he went crazy and got lost in the woods, fourteen when he was rescued from something he still refuses to talk about, and fourteen when he left his town behind without a second glance. It’s at 22, though, when Lincoln falls apart. Forced to bring Peggy, a young girl who can’t get in contact with her father, and Sylas, the little brother he never expected to see again, back to the town where everything went wrong, Lincoln will have to decide if it’s also the place where he can finally set things right or if the ghosts of the past will drag him down with them
love cheery child & grumpy old person family dynamics. honestly there’s smth so caring abt the grandparent having a lot of lived experience compared to the child having virtually none, and them both sharing their own kind of wisdom with the other
i’ve been thinking abt it a lot since writing the last chapter of my jjk fic Little Troubles (<- ao3 link here for those who are curious) bc right now it’s really just about Yuuji and his grandpa (and sukuna being forced along for the ride lol)
How the gentle wind, beckons through the leaves~
Yuuji: ive always wanted a pet! :D
*becomes sukuna's vessel as a 13yo*
Yuuji: i believe this is what the adults call karma
(ao3 link here -> Little Troubles)
felt, lol
i came across the phrase 'what we call writer's block is almost always ordinary fear' in a writing textbook once and it seriously changed how i approach writer's block though. usually im able to recognize my hesitation to write as a fear that whatever i write will inevitably turn out bad, so i focus on trying to shift my mindset so that i can get words on the page first and make them sound good later
when its a lack of inspiration though, it helps to read other things, watch shows/movies, listen to music, look at art, etc or even just write a poem or smth short and irrelevant to the project im trying to work on before going back to it
I feel like my writer’s block just comes and goes randomly and it’s really not helping me fight the urge to procrastinate lol
