For those writers confused about the “my muse controls themselves” phenomenon.
Imagine you have an imaginary friend (or many imaginary friends). They talk to you, have their own interests and personalities. They’re fake, of course, we know that, even if they’re quite convincing about their fictitious autonomy, but they’re entertaining and help us write, we can’t do what we do without them.
A situation comes up and one of those currently active imaginary friends reacts a certain way. The other person doesn’t like that choice of action for some reason and tells you to write them differently. You try, but suddenly that imaginary friend digs their heels in and goes radio silent, giving you nothing different to work with, or refusing to change their actions to conform to external pressure/expectations. You try to write something else, but at best it feels completely unnatural and disconnected, and at worst (and most often), you get hit with insurmountable writers block. Your “writing buddy” imaginary friend is MIA and refuses to come back because they already reacted how they think they ought to react, and nothing is going to negotiate them into doing differently no matter how much you, the writer, wish they would just conform so you can make the other roleplayer happy and move the plot along.
Imagine that feeling when someone you know (a real person) is making a bad or dumb choice you’ve tried to advise them against but they won’t listen to you and go ahead and do that thing anyway, while you helplessly purse your lips and watch them do the stupid thing, and nothing you can say or do will stop that person from doing that stupid thing. That’s sort of how it feels having a muse that “controls themselves”.
Yes, we know the muses are fictitious. It doesn’t make the writer’s block just go away when faced with a situation that muse “refuses” to do.

AO3 is a gift to God's green earth. Just read a fic on ff.net and I was slapped in the face with major character death without warning after 14 chapters. I'm not okay.

Unpopular opinion that's what makes ff.net fun

Agree to disagree

nah bro ff.net us like playing Russian roulette and its fun as fuck. It's like ok so its rated m, we dont know if they're fucking or killing

Yeah not my kind of fun. But you do you I guess. I think I'll just stick to ao3 thanks

I remember using ff.net when I was a teenager, I admire AO3 tagging system because you can filter out the fucked up things you didn't want to read when you read on AO3. But still there's a lot of old fandom gold there that I have strong memories of reading. I probably wouldn't have read at the time if they'd be tagged correctly.

And idea I had (checking for interest)

I thought it'd be fun to do a Hetalia Au for Pokemon, I haven't set up a blog yet but I've chosen four regions to start with.

Orange Islands, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos. Iknow the first is anime only but I'm pretty nostalgic for that arc of the anime.

The basic idea is that a portal bettwen Hetalia's world and the pokemon world opens up throwing up the various regions in to versions locations of Hetalia's world.

I want it to be interactive and have the characters from other blogs falling through the portal in the Pokemon world also. Like it doesn't have to be canon to their blogs but it'd be a cool little Au event. There's no plot as of yet but I can think of something more in depth than the insiting incisdent of the portal opening.

What you don't mean you don't wait until you're light headed and feel faint before you actually consume food?

Also ADHD

forgetting to eat until your body is begging you for food.
