I just explained the entire Poppy Playtime lore to my dad.
It was crazy because I’m so used to thinking in fanfiction I forgot what the actual lore was like
I’ve drifted off a lot into Smaller Bodies land (writing is my special interest) and I felt a little lost a few times, and now it’s like I’ve been struck with a brick like… OHHH SO THIS IS WHAT IM WRITING
Hehe I like Harley Sawyer he’s cool :3 we call him Harley Soysauce in this house
I’ve been trying to write more about him for DAT, so I’ve actually fully renamed/reworked what I’m doing to give more to his character. This isn’t a problem either because I’m writing about him as a human, not a sketchy computer guy
Also. I have stages where I get really bad anxiety about my own writing and start feeling like everyone hates me/is disappointed in me, and because of it I’m completely ignoring my AO3 notifications. If anyone’s left a comment, I haven’t checked because I’m too nervous. I used to check them constantly but now have 32 (?) unreads. Lol
I recently read over my own stuff and went “oh wait this isn’t as bad as I thought” and am writing that funky DAT Harley Sawyer thing. I think it’d be cool to release on Jan 30th since that’s when Chapter 4 comes out.
I’ve also somewhat neglected tumblr in favour of my Instagram (@qibsichan). Tumblr is scary
Uh thanks for reading, moots!
Colour and character design practice! Feat. BigNap!!
Hello everyone!! <3
The story was originally going to focus on the Game Station, how the child-picking process works, Theodore Grambell’s experience there and the treatment of the toys when they’re not at Playcare.
Three chapters in, I had a mental health crisis. And I do mean crisis. I got suicidal.
I write my feelings through my characters, and Ollie happened to be the poor unfortunate soul who I projected onto. So he tries to overdose on the story and it changes the ENTIRE plot.
I know, I know it’s not planned and the summary/title were probably misleading by then and people probably clicked it expecting some edible content and then squinted and went “hey- WHY THE HELL DOES OLLIE HAVE TEN SLEEPING PILLS -”
That’s why.
So. Since the whole plot changed, so did the name. I don’t want to mislead people. The summary also changed.
Poppies’ most recent chapter is here. :)
Why don’t you make a cult community just a thought
On what platform?
OKAY HEAR ME OUT.
Smiling Critters x the Octonauts
Finally found a solid pfp
Sugar Breath is looking good today!
New trademarked names:
Baba Chops
Maggie Mako
Alister Gator
Simon Smokes
Nightmare Critters
We've also seen several locations too but I can't make them all of them out. I do know however that there's room which looks like it's filled with either safes or cells:
It's also been called the "darkest chapter yet" so... uh oh 👀
This is also GREAT timing for Destroy-A-Toy and my AU because now I can implement the new stuff in :D perfect!
OMG WAIT. What if for the AU, Shelly wasn’t the only one left behind, but Glisten was too??
ESPECIALLY because they were both torn in two
Hold up hold up hold up
I’m making it official
Glisten and Shelly are stranded together in Gardenview until the rest of the toons come back for them
If you have other ideas please comment or reblog them!! <3
Update: @yukitiramisu suggested Forgotten Friendship which is fucking FIRE
One might be the series name while the other is the one-shot name
I've been writing for years and I still struggle with this, especially since posting publicly. So to any writers out there who think their work isn't good enough, I've discovered your own perception on what you write is a lot harsher than how people will actually view it. You're doing fine. It's alright. :) Perfection is unobtainable so let's accept what we have!
It's going to be fine. <3
Quit judging yourself for every mistake you make along the way. Whether you're writing fiction, fanfiction, or nonfiction, just write. If you can't correct your errors as you go, that's okay. When I don't have the brainpower to multitask, I focus on the writing stage one step at a time. Just write!
"It's not ready if it's not perfect." That's a lie. When you're in the process of writing, it's best to concentrate on getting your thoughts on paper.
Join lively communities with active writers or forums that host events inviting writers to share their work for critique. Not every critique is constructive; learn to discern which feedback to take on board and which to ignore.
You can't give what you don't have. You learn a lot from reading similar pieces in your chosen genre. Reading is also a source of inspiration that fuels your writing process.
Writing is no small feat. It takes talent to formulate a story with your mind and skill to visualize it for others to see. Do you love writing? Then keep doing it because it takes practice.
