one time i stopped writing in the middle of noting down a wip idea i had and i havent been the same since. it literally stops mid-sentence at "and". AND WHAT ????

It's not an "abandoned" WIP, I didn't intentionally leave it in the forest to die and forget about it, it is a lost wip who wandered into the forest despite my pleas not to. I sit at the edge of the forest every day and hear it calling for help but there is nothing I can do. It is a haunting wip

Trying to write fanfiction for the first time is so humbling, it feels like I've never written anything ever.

I am not a waste for needing extra time to heal from the things no one saved me from.

– me at 1am

I love being a writer because it forces me to understand and build the mind of someone who grew up, thinks, and acts so much differently from me

The world seems to be a very big place that im willing to grow to understand .

– me in the middle of the night

- Intro to me/my account .*

General:

pronouns; he/him

age range; minor.

fandoms; creepypasta, young royals, 5sos

inspirations; hozier, luke hemmings, jeff buckley, peter murphy, & edgar allan poe

fun facts:

im autistic, thus i have a strange speech pattern, so my 'poems' may not make sense aside from in my own voice. It also means i really struggle with telling tone (ironic as a writer, i know.)

ive enjoyed writing since i learned how, and never really stopped.

idk how to write straight couples as ive never experienced it, so I do it very rarely.

i really like "The tell tale heart"; i think it solidified my want to pursue writing as a career.

i lovee jeff buckley

i own a remginton 2 typewriter, though it doesnt work rn..

wip game of birds!

Rules: askers can send a bird, and receive the corresponding thing. If you don't have something that corresponds to whatever bird it is, or you don't want to share the only thing that fits (I'm not telling!) then either share a matching quote from a published work and link it, or share a random quote from your wips of your choice. :)

🐦‍⬛ a great quote of dialogue (maybe you're proud of how in-character it is, or how sharp the back and forth!)

🦜 a pretty quote (you like the prose, or symbolism, or it's poetic, or you just like how it feels/the word choice!)

🐧 a funny quote (silly! laughs! jokes! puns!)

🦚 a sexy quote (spicy, outright nsfw, etc--if you're not comfortable with this one specify in the tags!)

🦃 a big, meaty quote (JUST A BIG OL PARAGRAPH YOU WANNA SHARE)

🦉 a clever quote (something you're proud of!)

🦅 an angsty quote (something PAINFUL!! ouch ouch ouch!)

🕊️ a sweet quote (something sweet, fluffy! maybe it's cute or funny banter! or sappy wedding vows!)

🦤 a quote you had to delete :( (but still wanna share!)

🐦 a romantic quote (can be sweet or sad or sexy, or just your favorite interaction between them!)

🐤 a mystery quote (take out the context, even censor the names if you want! let em guess!)

🐓 fuck quotes, give me a summary or some ao3 tags

🦆 asker's request (what do you want to see? from a specific wip, a specific mood, a specific ship or character...?)

🦩dealer's choice (choose any quote at all! or the summary / ao3 tags thing! whatever! wild card!)

My favourite pieces of dialogue from Sols so far,

except I don't tell you who said it.

"Then look at me like you used to! If you love me so much you'd look at me like you did when Mom was around!" "Oh my god. It's a boy?! I knew you were weird for [redacted] but you never said it was a fucking boy."

"He's dead obviously, but i see 'em. I see bits and pieces of his soul scattered about." "He didn't come back 'ere?" "No... no I haven't seen him since [redacted]." "No, no no. It's not right. We must keep tradition! We have to. I have to make sure of it." "I know what your people think of me, but I wont sit here and play pretend.”
