This is the one warning I will give before putting asks back on

The first time I get a rude anon or ask, they're getting shamed. Publicly. I am not going to play nice.

You act like an ass, I will treat you like an ass.

If I get sent gore, ship hate, OC hate, or character bashing in my inbox, I will give a swift reminder, that ANONS CAN BE BLOCKED. You can be IP blocked from someone's account this way.

I don't wanna have to open up my inbox with guns prepped to blaze, but I'm really fucking sick of how I get treated in fandom sometimes.

So

Behave

I'm not joking around. I'm not going to put up with anyone's bullshit.

If I have to make a post about this on my other blogs, I will NOT be happy.

What to do in case of a plot bunny attack: Keep calm. Save your last work. You will likely not come back to it very soon. Write down everything you've got inspired to. Do it now or the plot bunny hops away. Feel good and excited about this new piece. Go to sleep. You need the rest, because the plot bunny will attack again. And then rinse and repeat.

Boycott launch date of Switch 2 and buy it the next day, June 6.

This has worked before:

When the 3DS released, it was over priced too. No one bought it so then they lowered the price!

It has happened before, it can happen again.

If you can wait even 1 day at least, or 1 week at best, it will make a difference.

Spread the news. In solidarity of those who can't buy Switch 2, those who can buy it should at least boycott the launch date. I garantee you it WILL make a difference.

Remember the consumer is always right.

You could also just… not buy it until the price goes down? Yall have other games you can play right

This^

You won't die if you don't buy it until the price drops. You actually won't even die if you NEVER buy it.

Just leave it alone until they learn their lesson again.

I didn't get a switch until 2020.

THAT 2020.

And I only got it because my Titi (RIP) sent me money to help me get one because I was el broke. Spent my lockdown playing Animal Crossing like crazy.

"I am experiencing a bitchass migraine, time to project this onto my blorbo, chaos control!!!!!!!!"

I can't leave these gold tags go unnoticed.

YES

GIVE THAT TURTLE A MIGRAINE

MIGHT I RECOMMEND A RISE RENDITION OF THE 2003 MIND PROBE INCIDENT?

If you have a plot bunny or stray fic scene stuck in your head that won't go away-

but you don't have the energy or inspiration to flesh it out into a full fic (yet, or potentially ever)-

I highly, HIGHLY recommend boiling it down into nothing but the absolute essential elements of the idea, writing it as a drabble (exactly 100 words) or a ficlet (generally under 1000 words) and posting it like that.

This will accomplish one of two things:

Either it will get it out of your head enough that you can stop thinking about it, or starting writing it and the reaction to it will give you the burst of energy or inspiration to flesh it out.

there are some headcanons where it's like. 'i would enjoy this as a light seasoning in fic but certain chunks of the fandom have become more committed to this than the actual canon and made it load-bearing in scenarios where it simply doesn't make sense'.

this came back on my dash and i’m thrilled to announce that when i checked the tags i saw that among the many documented grievances attached was someone else griping about the exact thing that spurred me to make this post. hello my comrade in exasperation may we all carry on from day to day

Hardest part of writing is accepting that some people will not fucking get it & you just have to like cope with that because over-explaining it just makes it worse

I will not over-explain my art to the stupidest people on earth. I'm writing for people who know what I'm talking about. Mantra that will save you. David Lynch was right

Writing has become a sanctuary for me. A time where, in solitude and contemplation, I can be myself.

Sometimes, I place the words gently on the page, with love and care.

Other times, I scribble with hurried strokes in anger, or write big, dripping letters in sorrow.

These pages know me well. The pen helps me know myself.
