Writing...

@crazybunchwriting

My name is Syd (she/her) and I'm currently 48,000 words into my wip The Crazy Bunch. It's a YA story about a ragtag group of kids with superpowers who go to a "special" school where they learn how to fight bad guys. But they manage to get themselves into a lot of trouble along the way. Inbox is OPEN! Ask me anything you want. Quote in header is from Joe Gardner.

Blog Info & Masterlist

About me:

Hi! My name is Syd and this is my main blog. I’m in my 20s, live in the South (USA), am in a committed relationship, and I go by she/her pronouns. That’s all you really need to know about me, so I won’t get more specific than that. 

@character-names-galore is my sideblog where I post names and their meanings. Check it out if you ever need some name inspo for a character!

My blog:

This is a writeblr. I post writing and writing-related stuff. Occasionally I’ll post my random thoughts or whatever, but I will never post anything political or too serious. There’s a time and a place for that stuff, but my blog isn’t it. I want my blog to be a positive experience for anyone who comes across it.

I love to participate in tag games! Don’t be afraid to tag me in something, tag me in your writing too if you want!

Asks and such:

Feel free to shoot me a DM or send me an ask! Try to keep the subject matter writing-related, or at least keep it light and friendly. I am not here to engage in arguments. I have my opinions on things, and maybe they’ll differ from others, but I keep it to myself. Like I said, this is a writeblr. Politics don’t belong here.

I have no problem with anon asks. If you’re too nervous to show your blog or your writeblr isn’t your main or whatever, go ahead and click that anon button. Do what you’re comfortable with. One thing I will not stand, however, is anon hate/argumentative/confrontational asks. Hate will be immediately deleted. I won’t answer it. I won’t argue with you. I will not post about it either. I will not subject my followers to that kind of bullshit. And remember, it is my ask box. If I don’t want to answer something, I won’t. (However, keep in mind that if it takes me awhile to answer your ask, that doesn’t mean I’ve deleted it. I just might not have enough time to answer it to the fullest extent.)

Asks or DMs with overly personal questions will also be deleted unanswered. You don’t need to know my sexual orientation or any disabilities I may have. I want people to follow me for my writing, not because I fit a certain label. Besides, I’ve never felt very comfortable giving away personal information (on the internet or otherwise) and I have the right to keep that stuff to myself.

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

my most recent strategy for dealing with executive dysfunction is that when I catch myself lying in bed thinking “I want to be doing the productive thing, but for some reason I’m still just lying here, wtf is wrong with me” I start mentally screaming until I get up. 

I don’t mean screaming AT myself, I just mean screaming. Like, a battle cry, or a tantruming baby. The goal is to fill up my brain with “AAAAAAAAAAA” until I am vertical. I can’t articulate WHY it works, but so far it’s working for me!

Oh, Correct

Love goth culture but not really loving this prevalent shift into distinct gender presentation that's developed as its become accepted in society. Or the... I guess gentrification is the wrong word.

Like. You remember goths with huge ratty hair and KISS makeup and men in heels and corsets and women in huge shapeless sweaters till you couldn't tell who was under what? Remember when the clothes were hand-shredded from the thrift store for five dollars and some spit?

My first black lipstick was eyeliner. What's this Women Get Crop Tops Only For $60 crap. What's this Being Goth Too Expensive shit. Girl draw ur nails on with sharpie and embrace damnation wtfff

Alt fashion being gentrified (which is the right word, you nailed it) is the most bullshit thing. My forebears didn't thrift/shoplift leather and jeans and hold their clothes together with pins and dye their hair together at whoever's house had a sink sprayer just so modern punks could lament the cost of a good battle jacket and ripped pair of off-the-rack jeans like! Girl!! Rip them yourself!! Throw box dye in your hair and leave it on for an hour before rinsing in the sink!! Keep your jeans for so long they tear THEN pin that shit together!! The entire point was that we didn't contribute to the capitalist machine by buying new things!!

Cheap, shitty, and now!!

You want a fishnet/mesh shirt? Get those halloween costume tights, or others that are on clearance. You cut off the toes, cut a hole in the crotch, and that's your shirt. (Psst! You can also use striped tights for this.) I like the Halloween costume kind because they are usually all fishnet without the more solid upper shorts bit regular tights often have, and they're usually way cheaper even when they're not on clearance.

Get cheap black clothing, bleach, and cheap paintbrushes or cotton swabs (or a bleach pen). Put a layer of cardboard between the layers of fabric and paint whatever you want on it with your bleach. (Search for "bleach painting" for more detail and inspo.) (I think some people use spray bottles bottles, too, but I've never tried that.)

Add safety pins to everything. Hell, string them together into a necklace and dangle charms from individual pins.

Get your black lipstick (or other uncommon color, like green) when halloween makeup is out. Wet n Wild often have fairly inexpensive products, and they're pretty good quality in my experience. (Plus sometimes you can find them on clearance even cheaper.)

You can get chain from the jewelry making/craft section and diy jewelry, or add chain to belts, hats, jackets, bags, whatever. (You can also salvage them from things like old wallets or decorative belts made from chain, which you can sometimes find in thrift stores.) Dog chains also work.

You can also as lace trim to pretty much anything, if that's more your style.

Found something at the (thrift or other) store, but it isn't black? Fabric dye, to the rescue!

Think outside the ready-made box, my lovely creatures of the night. Experiment! Get creative! Don't be afraid of things not turning out perfect!

Also: you don't have to be in all black. Jewel tones are common, but so are pastels. Be unlimited by stereotypes, and flourish 🖤
