Your writing will always feel awkward to you, because you wrote it.
Your plot twists will always feel predictable, because you created them.
Your stories will always feel a bit boring to you, because you read them a million times.
They won't feel like that for your reader.
As the year comes to a close, I just want to highlight all the people that wanted to create this year, but couldn't.
Whether that be due to burn out, lack of inspiration, or simply just not having the time; it's okay. It's hard to center what brings you joy during unprecedented times and these last few years have showed us that plenty.
Just keep chugging along, you're doing fine and we can't wait to see what you've been working on <3

Eddie: *to Robin and Steve* Who are these people you're gossiping about again?!
Robin: Oh, we don't actually gossip about real people.
Steve: Yeah, we learned that lesson the hard way.
Robin: So, now we make up people and their backgrounds. We gossip about them.
Eddie: I have been invested for over an hour over people who are NOT real?!
Steve and Robin: Yeah.
Eddie: *throwing up his hands* Either write a fucking book or join Hellfire!
Steve and Robin: *looks at each other before looking back at Eddie* Nah.
Eddie: *screams*
I hate when people ask me about my preference but I don’t understand their preference level. Like yes I kinda want Chinese food 10% more than I want a sandwich but if you want a sandwich like 40% more than Chinese food then I would say it’s totally reasonable we get sandwiches.
Hey did you know that Left Temporal Lobe Epilepsy is one of the most common kinds, and that it doesn't (always) cause symptoms that other people would recognize as a seizure, and that even doctors don't recognize it as seizures unless they are specialists? No tonic clonic, no major spasms, no eye rolls. Just invisible symptoms that are easy to doubt or dismiss.
Cause left TLE often manifests in stuff that looks like migraines if you don't know better, but also has a direct negative effect on language skills, reading, and vocabulary. But barely any outward sign to explain it.
So a hypothetical person could maybe receive a bunch of head trauma while defending a group of preteens and develop TLE and think they're just proving to be as stupid as everyone always said they were, and would have no reason to think it was related to the headaches, nausea, and exhaustion. So that person would just get proof, over and over again that they're worthless as they fail to remember something, as they reach for an answer or a word or a date or a fact that they were certain they knew, only to find nothing there. And when they try to explain that this is different, and that they know they have messed up words before, but that someone needs to listen, they often get told they're faking it?
Anyways. I think Steve Harrington should have my form of TLE, because it would cause him extraordinary anguish.
Dragon!Steve whose parents won't let him have any sort of hoard. As soon as he managed to start one they confiscated/threw out/sold what ever it was. He used to try and fight back but he was just a kid so he lost every time and eventually stopped trying
Til the party comes around and while unconventional he realized his parents can't take these little twerps away from him that they'd fight to stay with him just as much as heed fight to keep them

fic where steve already knows he's bi but robin keeps trying to tell him. steve's known he's had a crush on eddie for months at this point but today just happens to be the day where eddie walks in during a slow shift at family video and robin looks up at the perfect moment to catch steve's soft, dopey smile.
and in that moment, robin connects the dots. the music in steve's car being just love songs on loop. steve walking into work in a lovesick haze. steve going out of his way to work his schedule so he could always be the one to pick the kids up from hellfire.
oh.
oh.
eddie ducks into the horror section, and robin throws her full body weight towards steve, who yelps not unlike a stray cat.
"you like eddie," robin hisses.
"yeah, no shit!" steve reaches for the collar of his polo like he's clutching imaginary pearls. "jesus christ, robin, what the fuck."
ignoring him, robin continues. "no, steve," she says, soft look on her face, "you like like him."
steve frowns, nodding slowly. "i-i know that, robin. we're not in third grade anymore, you can say 'crush', it's not going to give you cooties," he says, frown falling to reveal a teasing look.
"wait, what?"
"robin, did you...?"
they stare at each other intensely for what could perhaps be aeons.
"YOU NEVER TOLD ME-"
"I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU-"
I love the “Steve has good parents, they’re just not on camera.”
Mom edition
Dustin is crawling in through the window. He freezes halfway through the window when he makes eye contact with Steve’s mom.
“Sweetie who is this small curly haired child breaking into our house?”
“That’s Dustin.”
“Okay?”
“I’ve adopted him as my brother.”
“Hello new son?”
…
Steve’s mom comes home to find Joyce on her couch, Steve talking very excitedly to her.
“What’s Joyce doing here?”
“Hey mom, meet mom.”
“Two moms and you still can’t avoid getting concussed every year?”
“Neither of you are very good at your job.”
…
“Mom!” Steve’s mom turns at the voice and finds a small redhead looking at Steve.
“Yes Max?”
“Can you take me to the arcade?”
Steve groans, pulling out some of the allowance that his mom had just given him and handed it to the little girl.
“Lucas too?”
“Yes, now scram.”
“Mom?” Steve’s mom asks.
“I’m not sure how that happened either.”
…
Eddie shows up on their doorstep with a bunch of half burnt cookies.
“I’m here for Steve.” He says simply to the bewildered mother staring at him.
“Okay.” She turns back towards the inside of the house. “Steve your boyfriend is here.”
“Did Steve tell you?”
“No, but god does my boy have a type.”
Literally everyone out here acting like Eddie's the flirty one? Did we all miss the "its only been an hour" "tell me about it <33333" from S2??? Steve is a SIMP and he FLIRTS and he's a fucking DORK
