A Love Well Worth the Trouble

Summary:

"Haven't you heard? The ex-god of chaos himself, in love with a mortal!" "Oh, I thought you were going to tell me something more interesting than that." "Huh? What about this isn't interesting?" "I don't know, maybe the fact that it's obvious to anyone with eyes?" "What?" "Yeah, I thought the only one who didn't know was the cat themselves!" (Or: Rowan had grown close with Leshy and thought that maybe the ex-god was finally starting to warm up to them, but then strange things started happening. Things that could only be explained by Leshy having some form of strong feelings towards them. If only they knew what those feelings were...)

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

i need all the help i can get for finals

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

"Is it a safe space to say i hate-" NOT IN THE MAINTAGS IT ISNT

"I hate [character] from [show] soo much #character, #characters's full name, #show,

ARE YOU INSANE

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

Why I write. What I write.

Struggles before snuggles, that's the motto; but never forget the snuggles.

To some people you’re an NPC

To other people, you’re the special, unlockable character that they worked and worked to finally get- and when they do they’re so happy because they got the game just so they could find you.

The fact y'all are still passing around this post, eight years after I made it. Exquisite. I hope it’s still resonating with people outside of mid-2010’s tumblr.

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared

This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

There are fics that I read 20 years ago that I still remember fondly. (And one epic wip that I check on every five years or so, just in case that last chapter has been posted...)

Truly the all time funniest writer thing is when you're doing edits and you think to yourself "omg I've got the PERFeCT sentence to add right here!" and then you stick it in all excited, only to find that literally three lines down you have virtually that exact same sentence in the draft already.
