“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend
I've always wondered why I and so many others crave to see our favourite characters bloodied and beaten to near death, choking on vomit, collapsing to the floor in what may seem like senseless torture but may actually be some sort of coping mechanism, and I have thought of a few reasons.
You crave the vulnerability that comes with physical and/or mental trauma.
It's not the whump itself, but rather the comfort that comes after it. Fainting and waking up to worried faces, wet cloths and hushed whispers of a family that you yourself will never experience so you project it onto a fictional character. You just want to be seen and taken care of.
You're suffering from a physical/ mental illness and want some form of comfort or solidarity.
If you write, you revel in the control you have over another where you have no control in reality.
If you write, you're expressing your own inner pain through writing.
You want to feel something.
You're just horny in the sex-repulsed way and whump is your smut (?? What does this even mean)
You're just horny.
Omw to write this
Okay might write a Valgrace fic cuz I got THE BEST line for them
Jason, with lovey eyes: you’re funny.
Leo: I know. S’why the ladies love me.
Jason: you sure it’s just the ladies?
nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer
died and came back right. there was definitely something wrong with me before? resurrection fixed me i think
If anyone is into Destiel Mafia - AU, I’ve read this several times because it’s damn good.
despite what canon says, if a fanfic writer’s in love with a blorbo, they can never die

I wonder if the younger campers at chb wrote fanfiction about their favorite ships from the biggest heroes (the seven) at camp. If they did I bet there were ship wars between Jasico and Percico shippers all across camp. Meanwhile Solangelo shippers just point to Nico and Will making out and mouth ‘I won.’
Leo and Piper are the only ones that know and are here for the drama. Nico and Annabeth have their suspicions but don’t have enough evidence.
Capture the Flag wars are held twice a week now. One time regular style, the second so that the shippers can be on separate teams and take out their annoyance with the other ships.
The fanfics start getting out of control. One twelve year old Athena kid teams up with an Aphrodite kid to write a big three threesome and hand out the latest chapters like drug dealers to other campers.
Leo jokingly writes Solangelo fluff and sells it for $2 a chapter each week. The Stolls help with distribution.
Pros of re-reading your own fic
a good time;
Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;
Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;
just a very fun time all around.
Cons of re-reading your own fic:
Is that another TYpO
