My Masterpiece

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

I want you to imagine that you have a button. That button is at the bottom of a pot of boiling water that also has piranhas and radium in it. If you press the button you will recieve the best orgasm of your life, but in order to press it, you have to first put your hand into radioactive boiling piranha water for at least 6 hours. This is what it's like to write.

I really needed the last one

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know

when a character longs so much for physical love and affection the first sign of someone wanting to show it makes them recoil physically, viscerally even though their body is begging them to take anything it could get. like being touched at all will remind them that they are so devoid of it

➡️ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy. 

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ ‘Creator chose not to warn’ is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. ‘May contain peanuts!’

➡️ Writers are allowed to use ‘Creator chose not to warn’ for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ ‘Creator chose not to warn’ is not the same thing as ‘no archive warnings apply’.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you’re reading that upsets you.

➡️ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

-> you are allowed to decide you don’t want to read anything from someone who doesn’t use tags/warnings

-> you are not allowed to harass them/be a jerk about it

-> (I mean this is the internet you are allowed but it’s not great behavior and contributes to the internet being a hostile place)

“Don’t like don’t read” absolutely applies to “I don’t like that this doesn’t come with labels, therefore I will not read”

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

that trope where the villain says to the hero "we're not so different, you know" or something along those lines and it causes the hero to question themselves and their actions is premium angst material but personally if it was me i wouldn't be intimidated by that at all. if some asshole with low standards had the audacity to compare themselves to ME, it'd be all the motivation i needed to kick their ass.

your vibes are rancid. your aesthetic is weak. your motives are stupid. your monologues are corny. you wish. you fucking WISH you were me.

who do you play as in mario kart/party

hey so like

hi, you. yeah im talking to you. You like my stuff from time to time and reblog once and a while, and I always recognize you in my notes. we’ve never talked, maybe you dont like to say much or you’re nervous or something. it’s okay, whatever it is. 

I see you. you mean a lot to me. sometimes when I’m having a hard day, I’ll notice your name once again in my notifs and it makes me smile. im not kidding.

I don’t care if you’re a “ghost” follower or you send me asks all the time. i see you and I love you so much, genuinely and truly. you are really important to me. 

thank you. thank you for being there. <3

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

These tags were too perfect to not include

idk what to call this style but yuujiii
