Summary: “In the Encanto, sometimes those believed to be gone aren't actually completely gone. Camilo and Mirabel understand this. (For the Spooky Snippets Flash Fic Exchange)”

So apparently for the 2-3 weeks it’s been up, Unto the Labyrinth had a glaring typo in its summary that’s now been fixed. So sorry about that!

⚡️Unto the labryinth from the WIP Game

Here, you get a brief excerpt of next chapter!

As they turned a corner, another familiar voice rang out.

“Here she is! Our shining star herself!”

Philomena stood at the end of the corridor, a giddy grin on her face, next to Harmonia, Troy, and the members of Maze’s prep team. Philomena was unchanged, donning her usual skintight bodysuit and pink pigtails, as was Harmonia.

Philomena rushed forward and engulfed Maze in a hug. “Maze! Oh, I can’t believe it! Victor of the 57th Hunger Games!” It might have been the lighting, but Maze swore she saw tears in Philomena’s made-up eyes. “Congratulations, dear.”

😈 for the writing asks

And 🦅 too. seems appropriate for blue bird writing :)

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

I’d say Chapter 3 and 4 of Ties of Blood and Water are just that. Putting poor Roderich through hell hehehe :P (he only kind of deserved it)

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

I’m an outliner! The only exception to this is The Town of Anywhere, which isn’t fully outlined but I have the next 10 or so chapters outlined

Summary: “At the Southern Air Temple, Aang corrects a visiting historian on some crucial details regarding Avatar Kyoshi's life.”

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
