if you only want to write smutty drabbles, write smutty drabbles. if you don't want to write smut at all, don't write smut. if you want to write tropes that have been written 85838593929 times, write them. if you've already written a specific trope and want to write it again, do it. if you want to write for a character but feel like there's no demand for that character, do it anyway. don't feel pressured to reach a certain word count, don't feel pressured to stick to a posting schedule. you're literally doing this for FREE, in your free time. whatever YOU want your writing/fanfiction experience to be is valid - it doesn't have to be like everyone else's, and you don't have to cater to what you think people want š«¶š»
like. imagine seeing your sibling at 18. and then not seeing them again until youāre 28. and then not seeing them again until youāre both 58. but youāre identical twins so every time you look in the mirror you wonder if this is what they wouldāve looked like.
imagine never needing glasses but your brother did, and then in your adulthood your eyes get worse and you suddenly need glasses and you pick out the same frames your brother wore.
imagine always protecting your brother growing up cause he was different and kids picked on him. but you always protected him. and then you have a falling out and neither of you speak for years, and then finding out that in those years you didnāt speak, he was being isolated and tortured by a monster and didnāt think youād come if he called. but then he calls and you go. and his house has blood on the floor in every room and writing on the walls and his journal devolves into paranoid ramblings. and you canāt protect him because you showed up and he got ripped away. and you canāt even ask him what the writing or the blood or the state of the house means because heās gone. and you donāt have a penny to your name so you have to clean the blood up yourself and fix the house and live there. so you board up his room.
if you have cool parents being cool donāt count ur like a swag nepo baby to me
my dick has led me to places i wouldn't go with a gun (browsing reddit to find out about western culture)
fiddlestan where fiddleford keeps calling stan "ford" as an accident and stan has to die a little every time he does because how can his brother one-up him even in the romance department
Instagram sucks so bad everyone I know has this particular psychosis where they're like "why did he open the reel I sent him but didn't respond", "we've been friends for so long she didn't like my story even though it's my birthday", "they liked my event post but didnt share it to their story", "what does it mean if a guy i slept with 3 times a year ago liked my story" liiiiikkkkee who gives a single fuck people only look at that shit while theyre on the toilet or in line or driving
when i start writing something, doesn't matter whatever it is i get a vision of the word count it is gonna be when i finish it even though i genuinely have no idea. i keep referring to the one i'm currently writing as the 68k words one but i DONT???? KNOW?????
do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often
anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on hereā- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! Thereās more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hairā-cause itās a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG thread from when I made these a year ago were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but Iāve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them hereššš¾ Iāll upload them all in parts!
