Dragonsandink - I Guess I'm A Writer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Beating up the blorbo" is a fantastic way to describe this masterpiece lol. Absolutely go read it if you haven't yet, it's so well-thought out, a slow-burn of encompassing annihilation, and the writing style is captivating. This fic f'd me up in all the best ways

people following me for my art; i dont normally post that here (or draw turtles on the reg, might change though with all the positive attention) so to be in the know gooooo read canary continuity. you should read canary continuity! its 147k words deeeeeeeppp and its about to get to a really good part~~ >:3

id say read this if youre a donnie fan but i think "beating the blorbo up" would be an understatement for what i inflicted on that poor kid LMAOOOO. read this if youre a donnie fan and you love whump i guess (but heed the tags, seriously)

I started writing this fic a while ago and only started posting when I had enough of a chapter buffer that I thought I could finish writing the whole thing while keeping to a posting schedule.

That being said, it's been enough time that I've forgotten bits and pieces of the earlier chapters and get to re-read them with fresh eyes right before posting them.

This one made me giggle quite a bit. In this chapter, I wanted to portray Lance and Pidge's relationship and I remember wanting to capture the energy of chaos feeding off of chaos. A sort of prelude to the shenanigans they're capable of when working together.

What day is it? What year is it?

I apparently have no clue because I missed posting last Friday! Goodness gracious, my apologies. Things will be back on schedule next week with chapter 11.

In the meantime, enjoy Pidge and Hunk interacting! I really wanted this chapter to feature Pidge, Hunk, and Lance interacting because they are all just so fun and feed each other's chaos, but I just couldn't come up with a situation where all three of them would get together naturally. There's a few ways I could force the three of them into a room together, but this chapter is supposed to focus on Pidge and Hunk's relationship anyway, so I'm not mad it turned out like this.

Also, I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I struggle SO MUCH coming up with chapter names and tend to dislike what I end up with. If you've got tips on how to chose chapter titles I'd love to hear them!

This is one of my favorite chapters I've written so far.

Warning for some ableist remarks about halfway through this chapter.

CW for EMD: family abuse, physical/psychological abuse, violence, self harm/experimentation, pyromania, violence, gore

CW for Canary: psychological horror, abuse, attempted murder, suicide attempt/thoughts, mind control, torture, self harm, ptsd, dissociation, food issues/vomiting

The Canary Continuity

I got the link to work again. But I don't know how.

You know what. I'm not going to worry about it.

Also ignore the fact that I can't stick to a consistent schedule for some reason.

Last chapter is up on Friday!

Not a whole lot of thoughts on this chapter? I finished reading The Starless Sea (Fantastic book. Slow to start, but if you enjoy setting descriptions you'll love it and Erin Morgenstern does a SPLENDID job of making the story immersive) around the time where I finished editing this chapter and in the acknowledgements she mentions the importance of describing smell specifically, so I started trying to work in one strong scent into future chapters.

Hope you enjoy!

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

New chapter of The Stars in Retrograde! This time featuring our favorite genius siblings :)

And with this chapter we're back on track!

Also, good news, I've finally wrangled chapter 13 into submission and just need to run it through my edits now! As soon as I was done with it I instantly got chapter 15 done and half of chapter 14 done as well. If I finish all the chapters early then I'll switch to posting a chapter once a week.

Anyway~ This chapter is just me giving poor Lance a break from all the drama I've been dumping on him, haha.

First chapter to a new fic I'm writing! I haven't posted anything in a while and I was nervous to put anything out for fear of not finishing the story, but I've got 12 out of 16 chapters written and outlines for the other four so I feel pretty confident I'll finish this one.

Check it out on AO3 here!

It's a Voltron Age Swap AU that starts at the Garrison, where Shiro and Matt are roommates at school, Keith and Lance are both pilots, Hunk and Pidge have just started building the ship to visit Kerberos, and Adam sets out to get a date with his best friend. Tags will update as I post!
