That Man - Patched

thank you for leaving kudos!

You already left kudos here. :)

Me at 14 and me at 22 are having a bonding moment

this literally looks like this came straight out of a fairytale… imagine little fairies hopping on the trees, avoiding the water as best as they can

i had a dream where i was watching rachel reeves’ budget on tv but instead of rachel reeves talking for an hour and a half it was sans undertale. people literally called his plans ‘sans tax’

so naturally, as an artist, i drew what i saw.

old lego figure of remus werewolf 🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️

explore the characters that were underutilised in canon (either that or they DIE too early)

worldbuild as the author, carving the tiniest of additional details and headcanons into the existing universe

learn about and use different creative writing techniques in an environment where there is no expectation for your work to be perfectly polished

reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):

share a cool scene that popped into your head

evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel

song made you think of a character or idea from canon

make people feel the same way about a character you do

make dolls kiss for fun

explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with

traumatize characters and make them suffer

coddle characters and let them rest

had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know

the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed

use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines

canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Sunrise On the Reaping

happy almost christmas everyone

i’d love to see someone write this, i’d do it myself if i had the skills to hhhh

SOTR/THG Fanfiction Idea:

Haymitch succeeded in pushing everyone away after the incident with his family, worried he'd put his friend's lives in danger. Not even able to tell them why he's pushing them away, and watching everyone slowly leave his side. Finally content (and so very lonely) about how they can't be hurt because of him. He thinks he made the right decision.

A year passes, and he goes on with life begrudgingly, learning how to be a mentor, so he can at least try to give these kids (most of which are around HIS age if not his age) a fighting chance. Working sponsorships, galas, etc. Crumbling at his first lost tributes. Knowing he'll be doing this every year unless he gets a victor and trying to cope with it.

Then another year later, it's his birthday again. But someone must truly hate him. For it's Burdock Everdeen's name that gets picked for the games while he's 18 (his last chance of even being able to be picked) alongside a girl, and Haymitch is now forced to mentor his ex-best friend and get him through the arena, working under the Capitol's gaze. All the while still learning how to be a mentor period. (and feel the everlasting guilt that he didn't push Burdock far enough and he got picked because of Haymitch - Whether or not this is true).

A friendship reunion except it's in a way literally no one asked for.
