WIP Necromancy

to be honest, i only personally care about plotholes when they appear in writing i already have a bunch of other problems with. if i like something enough, i'll give it a pass/invent an explanation in my head. i can't find the exact quote, but roger ebert said something about this. to paraphrase: "the movie's problem wasn't [such and such inconsistency], its problem was that i was bored enough to be thinking about that."

A writer's relationship with their own work goes: this is genius, this is garbage, this is genius, this is garbage, i should never have been born, okay actually this line is good

proxy relationship not a trope to anyone else but me which is a shame. Does no one else care abt the beautiful dynamic potential of conducting an entire shameful affair with someone just to get closer to their partner...Indirect kiss through some other guy. Possibilities !

i want to do more things for me and not for my imagined audience

Is there anything better than an awful little creature who speaks in a ridiculously formal register? I submit that there is not.

Actually they don't even need to be awful, just the other two attributes are enough

It's more a two out of three proposition. They can be an awful creature but not little, a little creature but not awful, or awful and little but not a creature – the incongruous formalism works in all of these cases. Optimally, of course, they are all three.

"youve already written that trope" yesss. i like it a lots. i will be writing it again. 1000 stories of the same trope over and over again for ten million years

yes i'm a beginner artist. yes i have been a beginner artist for the past 15 years. don't question it

there really is something about relationships between two people that are simultaneously relationships between three people (or more). you can interpret that however you want. secret identity love squares. two people but one of them is haunted by another person. two people but both of them are haunted by the same person. someone is possessed. literally just a throuple. when there's just two people in the room but they always carry someone else along with them. Something about it.

Always respect a fujoshi's dedication to writing yaoi even in the most romance hostile settings. A story could be called "the torture cube with four walls" and every fic would just open with 'it was common knowledge that the top left corner of the torture cube was reserved for love making ' like ok. of course.

Personally I much prefer when it's not that characters can't see a betrayal coming, but moreso when they make themselves blind to the signs. When they write off discrepancies. When they close their eyes and ears to anything that doesn't fit their image. When it's not only a betrayal of the other but also their own perception

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

Let OP talk, they’re absolutely right.

It really is crazy how fast people burn through things now. I saw people saying the Arcane fandom was dead only a few *weeks* after the last episode aired. Imagine being a fic writer working on a big fic for the show and seeing that. Or an artist working on a fan comic. Like, c’mon, people.
