you know you’re a writer when…

you spend 30 minutes choosing the perfect synonym for “said” only to change it back to “said.”

you google “how long does it take to bleed out” at 3 a.m. and now the FBI is probably watching you.

you write one sentence, stare at it, rewrite it 14 times, and somehow end up back at the original version.

“this scene is so important” but you have no idea what the scene actually is or why it’s important.

you come up with the best story ideas… in the shower… with no way to write them down.

your characters feel like real people but also you’re like “who are these guys and what do they want from me?”

your brain says “start writing!” but instead you reorganize your desk, reread your notes, and spend two hours naming a side character who shows up once.

you’ve cried over your WIP exactly 67 times and will do it again because the pain is the point.

you reread something you wrote and think, “wow, did i peak as a writer three months ago?”

every writing session begins with the sacred ritual of scrolling social media, opening unnecessary tabs, and procrastinating until panic sets in.

you have no idea how long a chapter should be, so you just… vibe.

you can’t watch tv or movies without mentally critiquing the plot, dialogue, and pacing.

your writing playlist is 98% vibes, 2% songs you’ll actually listen to while writing.

you keep a “murder notebook” but swear it’s not suspicious because it’s for your novel (probably).

the phrase “just one more draft” is your eternal mantra, even though you’ve rewritten this thing more times than you can count.

simple sketches of sskk

I can see Atsushi seeing his videos, telling him he should try like different chazukes around yokohama and giving him recommendations of which places he thinks are good. To his surprise, Akutagawa actually goes and make a video like that. He rates all of them in F tier just to piss off Atsushi.

I remember watching prozd's lets try food series and thought i could imagine akutagawa ranking food in a monotone voice all throughout the video to the point that you can't even tell if he actually likes the food

atsushi: have u seen that new jacket i got

kyouka, wearing said jacket: no

hello? hello? can anyone hear m

GUYS GUYS … what if I said I cosplayed knight aku

Akutagawa in fanfictions: Has a complexion as white and soft as delicate porcelain. His hair twirls in the most pretty way making him look always soft and composed. His small lips are candid and soft. His long black eyelashes appear perfect at any hour of the day. His eyes have the same color of the moon and the same warmth of the sun. He wears a nice scent of moss, perhaps pine

Akutagawa in my mind: Hasn't seen sleep in two months. His eyes are hollow and bloodshot and his skin is gray and coarse and stretched on his face making it look close to a skull. His lips are chapped. His pupils are black and bottomless. His hair is scruffy, untamed and uneaven and is likely to have never met an hairbrush. Probably stinks. Definitely stinks. Overall looks like a rabid dog

Just when i thought i got used to seeing sskk edits about Akutagawa dying asagiri kills him AGAIN

dont look at me with those big beautiful eyes im trying to be Weird and evil to you

AO3 👏 TAGS 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 SPOILERS 👏

i’m so tired of authors not tagging correctly because they don’t want to “spoil the fic”

correctly tagging your fic allows readers who DON’T want to read things like major character death, gore, mpreg or whatever may be their squick to filter your fic out from the main ship/fandom tag. not including the correct tags on your fic is harmful to readers and i’m tired of pretending it’s not.

“don’t like don’t read” great! i won’t! tag your fic correctly next time ffs
