i think people get so used to their own creative work that they forget how amazing it is so i’m making this post as a reminder You are the only person capable of making art the exact way you make it. nobody else on earth can do that. there are always going to be those little habits and intricacies and details that simply cannot be replicated whether it’s in writing or painting or textiles and you make life all the better for it i love my friends’ art i love art from strangers im trying to love my own art I LOVE YOU!!! THE PERSON READING THIS!!!!!!! YOU ARE A PART OF THIS WORLD NEVER EVER STOP MAKING THINGS THAT CAN IMPACT IT

very nearly done with the next chapter of Borrowed Time and i am very nervous lol. in the past i haven't been one to worry too much about how my work is received (or i at least try not to!) but, i have been having those anxieties a lot lately. idk. worries about what people think of your work is not something that should be at the forefront of your mind when writing fanfiction, it should be something you're doing for you! so i'm trying my best to focus on taking pride in the work i've done and appreciating it from my own point of view without getting caught up in any of that 💖

hope y'all enjoy the chapter when it's out! and i hope i do too lol. it's imperative that i do in fact!! yay! ✨

#time hopping and bodyswap fic i love you so #borrowed time rambles

do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!

Reblogging cuz I’m once again in the middle of adding an entire new plot arc to a fic because of a comment - and you know what, it made it better!

#comments influenced some of the dygel rewrites in a good way!#i had some stuff i came up with for randy's mom that i wasn't gonna put in because i was like “people probably aren't interested in that”#but!!! some folks were!!! and i was like OH HELL YEAH MRS BRADLEY HOURS #ended up massively expanding her lil monologue in chapter 30 and really glad i did #initially she was gonna have a really brief back and forth with benson but then i was like #no i think it'll be fine if i let them have a longer conversation and i let mrs bradley air our how she's been feeling about all this #she's important too and i'm glad other folks saw it that way <333 #did you get enough love rambles

❗️TW for very strongly implied past CSA❗️

hey, working on Borrowed Time a little bit today, here's a little backstory snippet i made up for this version of Benson 🩷 not a strict headcanon per se, just what his background is in this particular story!

next chapter is gonna involve a Ranson hiking trip on the road. i love planning these - i get to watch an awful lot of real nice nature videos while i do! and while i was doing that, i got to thinking about how Benson might have wanted the freedom and comfort that nature can provide before he got to a point where he rejected both of those concepts for himself. maybe in another life he's a park ranger ✨ maybe another reality! this is the time hopping fic after all! anything's possible!

#i also think that maybe intense stuff happened with benson's dad and that's when sheppard “stepped up”#this is also an interpretation i carried over to dygel but benson's dad is very different in this story!#no james here. he's off somewhere probably. still being a manfailure lmao (he tries his best his best just sucks)#tw csa #tw csa implied #the passenger #the passenger 2023 #borrowed time rambles

objectively very funny that i only have one longfic where the shooting doesn't happen in any capacity and then i went and wrote a version of the story where it did. i really said "sorry boys i can't let you get too happy over there" lmao

#fiction future and prediction my beloved cradle of angst #dygel really is my only longfic without the shooting which is very weird to think about #and the only reason it doesn't happen is because i thought it would be easier to make the grief hit if it didn't #like i just found it easier to make benson really sit with the grief if everything else going on around him was so mundane #like. there are no cops to run from. there is no coworker to fix before they catch up to you. it's just you and the crushing grief #there's no distraction. no reprieve. no escape if you can call it that. the only way out is through or whatever!#plus the version of dygel where the shooting happens? as ff&p spells out. benson's not getting out of that alive lol #and i wanted to explore benson's grief over a longer period of time than a day which forgoing the shooting allowed me to do <33 #it's not something i'd usually do! i consider the shooting essential to like 90% of my non dygel ideas #but that one i was like. i can make him suffer in a different way lmao #did you get enough love rambles

sending randy and benson on a lil day trip in the Borrowed Time draft today ✨ time for google maps exploration!

#sure hope all these travel blogs aren't lying to me about this particular lake lmao #borrowed time rambles

sometimes i think about how all is not lost has the zombie apocalypse happen in 2006. before the twilight movies came out. i fear i deprived hayley of something wonderful

#not lisa though. lisa will have read the book. hehehehe <33 #the apocalypse also happened like. one month shy of the new moon book too #damn i'm really stifling a cultural phenomenon here-#all is not lost rambles

'call him daddy (because his bitch ex wife never did)' was shot entirely on 35mm film btw

#should write a sequel lmao #(fun fact my IRL bestie tried reading it. she had to stop at 'sopping wet chair'. amazed she made it that far tbh)#bits

something i think about a lot is holding myself to a way higher standard with my fanfic activities than i would hold... literally anyone else lol

like i'm writing Borrowed Time today and getting soooo in my head about it. the premise is complicated sure but... i am finding ways to overcomplicate it. like "oh randy and benson need to constantly be considering every single reality they've been to and how it relates to the present moment all the time" and i'm like. no they don't lol. that actually sounds convoluted and not fun to read OR write. they can just. be in the present and not overthink like i would (well, randy can overthink. but not that much. my overthinking puts Randy Bradley to shame, honestly)

like i'm very slowly catching up on my The Passenger fanfic reading list (i've been saying i'd do this since the tag was at 500 fics lol it's now at 800) and i don't usually read other fics while i'm working on WIPs because i get paranoid about plagiarism, but i think maybe i should because the perspective it gives me is so valuable. like i read Watch It Come Down just there and... fuck, it was so fuuuuun. like i had so much FUN reading it. at no point did i want it to do anything else for me. was promised a pre-canon randy on shrooms fic, and that's what i got - i am very satisfied! and like. i wanna have fun when i write fanfic! people wanna have fun when they read fanfic! that's what i gotta be thinking about here! the FUN of it all!

it's FUN to zap randy and benson around time and space a little bit! it's like, character building! and also it's fun! don't gotta be getting caught up in perfectionism about it! yay! 💖

side note: i've also been working on WIPs for like two straight years now lmao so. might be a good idea to relax and read some other stuff lol ✨

#ramblings

thinking about 'you know you infect my soul' today and. i'm sorry but the concept of jealous ranson is so funny to me jvksdfk

guys it's fine no one is after either of you, in fact everyone is very relieved you found each other and everyone else is safe from Whatever The Fuck You Have Going On 💖

#matt suffered more than jesus i stand by it #anyway i think about this fic a lot whenever i gotta write a smut scene #whatever flow state i entered during writing that fic please come back i need you for a second #you know you infect my soul rambles

fuckrozanov

the worst writing crime you can ever commit in my opinion is watering down the dirty talk because you’re self-conscious that it sounds like it’s from a bad porno…..i cannot stress this enough……leave it alone. the moment you tell yourself he would not fucking say that you’re doomed. people will say almost anything if their dick is hard enough

little snippet from the Borrowed Time draft to kick things off ✨

Borrowed Time is a Ranson fic i'm working on where randy and benson are on the run and sometimes get zapped around to different times and different realities, and sometimes different bodies! it's basically my way of exploring all the different ways the story could have gone if something had changed during their journey (e.g. randy didn't call the cops, benson was caught after the mall because lisa got suspicious, the shooting didn't happen for whatever reason, maybe the shooting happened later or maybe even earlier, what could happen after benson died in the canon timeline, there are lots of different possibilities there too), and by extension, a celebration of all the wonderful headcanons and fic universes in this fandom! ✨ i'm really excited to be working on it, and i hope you guys enjoy it too!

so in this snippet, Randy has been zapped to a reality and potential future where he and Benson are a very happy couple. Randy is... very blindsided by this lol. the OG timeline randy and benson aren't quite at that stage yet! we'll see how randy likes this timeline when we get to this point, it's a little ways down the road. but this is one of the scenes that arrived Fully Formed In My Head when i started working on the chapter draft for this fic so! a lot of it is currently in drafts already! 💖
