Misc Rambles ✨

I was testing writing poems around 1 - 4 lines. 📝✍️

The first couple are from Saeru's POV, and then the next ones are from Ene's POV.

A few ones are HaruTaka implied.

I really love both! 💗

The imagery of the 2nd poem is really nice... I really love how the 2nd poem's 1st verse describes Saeru as shadow, night, and both the Black Sun and the Moon. 🖤✨

I drafted them a couple days ago, and then adjusted the grammar, punctuation, and word flow. ✌️

I'm rather picky about wording, so I'm just gonna post my writing WIPs here.

The first two are finalized! 💖✨

I'm gonna adjust the others :3 I'll work on adding to the rest soon~

I just wanted to show my writing WIPs here. Hehe

Writing in free-verse is the most freeing for me. ✍️

I kinda don't like how Ellipsus doesn't space headings the same height as lines, but oh well. ✍️

I also found out some people post poems on AO3!! Ig it will be the first writing thing I post on AO3, cuz my first exposure to reading/writing again was reading poems. 😌

Poems Inspiration 💖✨

I was inspired by UH's Character Poems! 💚🧡🦇🌸

They really tie to each other perfectly in thematics.

Iirc, it's confirmed their Vol. 27 and Vol. 40 poems are tied to each other. ☺️

I think it's a wonderful idea and this visual format is really cool...

I was inspired by Bleach's Character Poems at the start of each volume for the cover character! 📖

So I was inspired by UH's poems, Bleach's Poems in general, and Hyakunin Isshu poems :3 💖

(I added Alt Text just so it doesn't clog their ship tag's search results.)

KuroEne Poems: Art Plans 🖤💙

I love the idea of characters having Character Poems about their thoughts and feelings. 🥺

I'm planning to match the format and just suit it to my art style when I get to draw it visually :3

I'll post my KuroEne poems on AO3 when I get the chance to pair it with my art 💗 🫶

For KuroEne, I'm planning to draw their eyes… And then I'll format the text with the poem title.

I think the text formatting will take the longest, over me doing the art itself lol

Ellipsus Previews: Fave Snippets ✨

These are my fave lines from my KuroEne Fic so far. 💗

The most refined ones imo.

(Not in order, this is just a random assortment of fave lines)

Ellipsus Previews: Other Fave Snippets ✨

These ones aren't as refined, so I have to clean them up and add to them later, but I still like them.

They have good ideas ^^

Tentative Notes ✍️

Tentative Draft for now :3

Wanted to test how the tags and notes will look. 📝✍️

The Notes section is tentative rn, since it depends on which ones I'll include in the Fic.

KuroEne Fic: Summary 🖤💙

My KuroEne Fic is basically the lead-up to Kuroha/Saeru meeting Ene and offering to build her an android body so she can move around in the real world again, and their intimacy. 🖤💙

Saeru uses his knowledge to build an android body for Ene, that she can transfer her consciousness into (since he's basically a living encyclopedia that holds knowledge from the beginning of civilization, all the way up to modern science)

Saeru's temptations, the call of a devil pretending to invite Ene to "paradise," under the guise of a "perfect/ideal lover," fully intends on dragging her down to hell with him.

Their intimacy is a metaphorical dance/eventual fall to hell.

I'm pretty satisfied with how the elegant prose style in this Fic, captures Saeru's dark eroticism... 🖤🐍

It shows his twisted view of love, indeed.

Saeru's temptations are definitely more in line with the "Demon/devil tempts their lover with honeyed words" kind. 😈😇🪽

Saeru is 3rd person narrator, so the Fic is from his POV.

This chara has a dark, cunning, calculative side. He's twisted and manipulative by nature. I wanted to be able to portray that. 👍

KuroEne AU: Context 📝

(I worded it better before in prev posts, so need for me to write it all again, but here's a short summary)

As I said, his main goal in the KuroEne AU is the same as in canon. He acts on a one track minded desire to fulfill Azami's wish with the utmost devotion. He wants to fulfill his purpose, what he was created for.

His secondary goal in the KuroEne AU is that he wants to make his S/O crave him and be addicted to him, by becoming the center of their universe.

He's trying to compensate for losing a sense of purpose when Azami forgot about him, by making his existence become "necessary" to someone.

Golden Apple of Immortality and Pseudo Immortality 🍎💛

I just think about how KuroEne are exact opposites in every single way, with characters and personalities that balance each other out perfectly. 🖤💙

And yet also, what they share (have in common), is a "connection to pseudo immortality," at least in some way...

Saeru inadvertently managed to succeed with the (pseudo) immortality he was searching for with her body. Regardless of whether it's in canon-verse, or my AU.

In canon-verse, Ene got a pseudo immortal body via Opening Eyes, and in the AU, both that and the android body he made.

KuroEne → Possession of pseudo immortality, and craving for it...

Ene → Possession of pseudo immortality due to her cyber body (via Opening Eyes)

Saeru → One who craves pseudo immortality (and uses the time loops to keep up his pseudo immortality)

KuroEne Fic: Rough Outline 📝

Saeru's inability to understand the selfless love of Azami and Konoha - the kind Azami harboured for her family.

Saeru recalls a memory of his Master cradling a baby Shion, Mary's mother.

Saeru's motivations for indulging with a human, wanting to find a way to spice up the cycles to appease his boredom

Saeru's motivations for seeking out Ene (realizing he could weaponize her connection with his body's vessel)

Saeru recalling his 1st meeting with Ene, approaching her with the offer to make a body for her

Saeru's observations of Ene, and how he's charmed by her, and her nature

Saeru working on building the android body for Ene, which instigates his obsession

Saeru can read her so well due to his excellent observation skills, making Ene believe he's the only one who can understand her, and thus, gets attached to him

(I still need to add to the Fic ofc cuz it's a super rough draft)

Other Rambles

I'm extremely picky about their (KuroEne's) characterization. So I did feel like my 1st KuroEne fic shouldn't be a short drabble, but one that's able to capture their essence as a ship. 🙏 So it's a retelling of my AU 👍👍

I wanted to write a Fic that'd sum up their relationship in my KuroEne AU succinctly. I want it to be able to portray the essence of how I see them... 💗

Since I want my first KuroEne fic to be able to capture the essence of my KuroEne AU, and their relationship, in ways I'd be satisfied with. 🤗

I want to take my time writing it so I'll be working on my Fic on the side, over the next few ~ couple months! I wanna make sure it turns out well. 🙏

Art and dialogue scripts (often seen in film/screen writing) come naturally to me, cuz I imagine the ideas visually (so they're based on my visual imaginations)

To me, the best lines are the ones that rely on my own chara analysis and interpretations/observations of them. ❤️

I originally planned to do a short Fic drabble but I just kept adding to it LOL

I think it's gonna be a long Character Study Fic. Realistically, it's gonna be in the 2k ~ 5k words range, at least.

I started writing it in mid March. It's been really fun to write! 💗 I love getting to infuse my character analysis and interpretations of them into my writing 🤭

A lot of the dialogue lines from my fic, come from dialogue scripts and rambles I wrote back in 2024. Though, I also wrote a lot of new lines (which are either based on my old rambles, or written from scratch)

I'm so picky with my stuff, so I fuss a lot over how to word things. Just like my dialogue scripts, I write the rough drafts first, then refine and reorder them as I continue.

I really like writing in this elegant prose style!! 🙏

I yoinked a lot of dialogue from my old KuroEne AU dialogue scripts. ✌️ 🤸

I think my dialogue is much stronger since I have experience doing Dialogue Scripts (turning my art ideas into play/film script format), but I still love a lot of the lines I wrote.

KuroEne reviving urges in me that I haven’t had in like 5 - 10 years like OMFG... The power of love is real... 🥺🥹🙏

I've been drawing for over a decade, so I really didn't expect to seriously take up learning how to do Fic writing for the 1st time.

Like I haven't had the urge to seriously write Fic for several years cuz I always thought "I should stick to art as my main creative art form" 🤔💭

But then I got hit with the urge to write for them. So it's my first time learning how to write Fic ❤️

Yippee!! 🤭 ❣️

Poems

Takane, Haruka, Konoha, Kuroha/Saeru, Takane/Ene

I've been reading Ogura Hyakunin Isshu poems more because I wanted more exposure to poetic prose. I love the Hyakunin Isshu so much... 💗

I feel like reading poems in the past few months have really helped my prose.

While slowly working on my KuroEne fics on the side, I feel like reading poems made me become more conscious of sentence flow, structure, and word choice… 💭

Reading poems only improved my way of writing dialogue/prose, me thinks… 🤗

Before, I'd mainly just think of converting my visual ideas/imaginations to dialogue script format… My way of writing dialogue def improved over time with practice.

My main concern would be prose, whether it's in character (which is easy enough for me), and if it sounds good.

After some exposure to reading more poems, when I write, I contemplate a lot about how the words sound, and if they flow well.

I get really indecisive, so I often rewrite lines with different wording to see which one sounds best… 🤔

Glad that I started taking this journey cuz there are lines from my KuroEne Fic WIP that I really love… :> 🖤💙

Since I've been drawing for over a decade, I'm way more confident about my art than my writing. 🙏🤲

As a newbie writer atm, I feel like my writing has to rely heavily on my characterization portrayals of them. And some poems inspo 📝

A lot of my fave dialogue lines were taken from my KuroEne AU dialogue scripts, cuz I'm way better with dialogue. But I wrote a lot of fave new ones recently too :>

Ellipsus

Ellipsus is SO cool. I've been using it to write my Fics. 👍

I usually write most of my dialogue scripts on Notion since it's my all in one digital workspace ✍️

I've been trying out Ellipsus to write my fic drafts! I love the Share Snippets feature that lets you share your fave lines as quotes 🤭💗

Gonna start backing up my rambles and writing on both Notion and Ellipsus~

Ellipsus' formatting is SO nice 🤗 I love the folder organization, Drafts, Focus Mode, Share Snippets, and Reader Preview features ✨
