IM NOT DEAD

not now kitten, daddy has to write strange self indulgent fan fiction.

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

"just write the story you want to read!" they said. well, guess what, now i have 14 unfinished drafts because apparently, i want to read 14 different stories at once.

🥀 here is the full character sheet for my MHA oc! I plan to post more art of her and her ship

Mine and @silkysoftie’s oc are in the same universe - it’s a college AU

(The explanation of her quirk isn’t very accurate, she creates illusions of people’s greatest fear.)

a lil nervous to actually post these but it seemed fun

~Xiao headcannons~

In honor of me getting Xiao on the last day of his banner I decided to write some headcannons I have abt him. This includes Sfw and Nsfw. <3 (this is pretty self indulgent, i tried to stay in character but honestly im so down horrendous)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sfw

- He's very touched starved so becoming intimate was a slow process

- figuring out his love language was hard, he isn't very expressive when it comes to his emotional needs but eventually you figured out it was acts of service and quality time

- Xiaos favorite act of service if when you make him almond tofu and take care of him after his battles, specifically patching his wounds and bathing with him

- quality time is also important to Xiao, sitting with him on the roof of Wangshu Inn in silence or looking at flowers on the mountains

- He doesn't get mush free time so when he does, he always spends it with you

- on the rare occasion he comes home before you're asleep, he likes to cuddle next to you while you do anything

- Xiao would never admit this but he loves when you read to him, any stories, for as much distaste he claims to have for new mortal ways, story's fiction and not are always enthralling to him and lighten his heart if only a little

- because of his endless years of torment and suffering, he often has little episodes of depression and rage, when these arise he tries to distance himself from you, in fear of hurting you. but in the end you're the only one who can help and distract him form the pain

- because he's so antisocial and unfamiliar with social customs and norms, he often says things that could offend or hurt someone's feelings, most of the time he doesn't care, but when it comes to you, he apologizes profusely and feels horrible

- you understand though and reassure him

- thats another thing, Xiao needs constant resurement

- at the end of the day Xiao is a kind soul that just needs someone gentle and doting, in exchange he's very protective and loyal, he will always be there if you call his name

Nsfw

- you know that part i said about how Xiao isn't very expressive with emotions, yeah well he is expressive about his desires, almost too blunt

- if he wants something from you he'll just ask, he doesn't understand why mortals are embarrassed to share the intimate parts of there relationship

- this is of course after he gets comfortable

- your first time was really scary though, he was worried he'd hurt you or accidentally do something wrong

- after you both got use to sex though he changes completely in bed

- first thing, he's vocal like I mean like really vocal (like you know how much he grunts and stuff when running and fighting)

- not necessarily loud in his noises, theres just a lot of them

- he likes giving and receiving praise

- degradation too, (have you heard his voice lines?!) he loves being able to degrade you and praise you at the same time

- using words like "my pretty little whore" and "what a good stupid slut"

- if Xiao is in the mood he'll just wrap his hands around you and drag you wherever he wants

- he loves giving oral, he could stay in between your legs for hours, the thought of him making you feel good, pulling at his hair, saying his name god he loves when you say his name

- likes giving hickeys too, not really cuz he wants people to see them, more so he just likes seeing them himself

- Xiao is a switch, he'll be whatever he or you wants in the moment, many times though he will instinctively try to top

- id say for size he's pretty average, maybe slightly above

- he likes the forplay more than the actual thing in most cases
