Hey guess what

Life begets lessons - Guiper - Hermitcraft SMP [Archive of Our Own]

“He felt like a drop of red blood leaking down the broad, wrinkled arm of an ancient creature; something finally free of constricting vessels and flesh.

This wasn’t a dream since he didn’t have those anymore. Maybe he would once he was in the overworld, once the rest of the universe got their mitts on him and told him through the sunset and a heaviness in his eyes that he could actually sleep away the hours. Dreaming sounded nice. It sounded consequence free.”

The Watchers let Grian be a player again, for a short time. A full life. It was perfect for Grian. All he ever wanted was a life, any life. He thought he was free from their influence.

As he will come to learn, life begets lessons.

It brings me great joy to realize that my actions today would have sent a-year-ago me into hysterics.

So the title change….

My fic used to be Double Negatives, but I changed it to Tactical frivolity. I’ve wanted to change it for a while, since I felt that the title didn’t fit the story anymore. The original plan had something to do with double negatives,’but then the outline changed A Lot, so I decided to retitle it

New chapter

Tactical Frivolity - Chapter 22 - Guiper - Hermitcraft SMP [Archive of Our Own]

“In front of Xisuma, a jagged splotch appeared, colored a swirling mix of ashy grey and purple. It grew and grew, the height of three people, the length even longer. Before fully formed, large, amalgamated wings shuddered and jerked.”

enjoy!

y'all need to find a new phrase that expresses the sentiment of “there’s no platonic explanation” without being blatantly incorrect in every situation. like. there is a platonic explanation and its that some of us love our friends. hope this helps 👍

When you’ve been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????

Oh shit it’s been a year

I’ve debated changing the title of my fanfic longer than I’ve spent picking a new name for myself.

Every time I suck ass at doing crafts, I tell myself: do not think about David Shrigley’s piano dog. And every time, my brain tells me, whatever you say, dog.

ive just learnt that grian and etho (as well as some other hermits) have apanthasia and you guys do not understand how happy this makes me feel as someone who also has it

fuck an “intended audience” how about we normalize engaging with new and unfamiliar art pieces on their own terms

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the difference between pushing a product and creating a work of art

I can’t be bothered to find the thread rn. But there were a bunch of people talking about it, and I agree, so I’m sharing the idea here:

We need a death of the audience; lots of media gets worse because authors are too worried about a hypothetical audience. As someone engaging with media, you need to understand that you simply might not understand all of it, and that’s ok. But also I think more authors need to realize that it’s ok if not everyone in the audience will fully understand everything they’re doing.

Nothing gets me writing side stories quite like struggling to write simple action for my main story. Why did I put in my outline multiple action-y scenes?

when the characters love each other and it’s not romantic and it’s never expected to be anything “more” than what they are to each other now. when they mean so much to each other and it’s entirely aromantic

Your comments mean something even when the author never replies.

Sometimes your comments mean something especially when the author never replies.

I hate how they did the firework emojis 🎆🎇 these are trapped specimens why are they in boxes

Yeah, I like The Character a normal amount

Happy Valentines day. Fanfic be upon ye

I wrote a oneshot about teeth

“Grian’s mouth was full of blood. He hunched over so he wouldn’t stain his white shirt collar, his palm growing sticky. The seconds were replaced by drips.

Another thing about Grian: he couldn’t cut his hair.”

Double negatives Chp 21

Here’s your feast. It’s 6600 words. Both Grian and Scar POVS.

Excerpt:

The normalcy of it. The absurdity. Scar chatting while at death’s door. Less so last words, spoken as though he’d already said those a long time ago, and the words he shared were to be taken off record, a P.S.

Three words was all it took to dissolve his senses.

Stronger than “I love you.” Stronger than “I am here.”  A greeting. “Well hello there.” Everything could start again in that vacant space following.

for @grammarbread !! specifically fanart for their amazing fic that you should all read

AWAAAAaAAAaH

The composition, the color—this is Incredible

“it would be good if it were good” is one of the most creatively productive things to experience imo.

OR

It’s Minecraft YouTubers and you’re driving yourself crazy trying to divine narrative structures, worldbuilding, and motifs for block people

The he doodle that im literally never going to finish in my life

gothic horror is when there’s a location. cosmic horror is when there’s an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you’re outside.

counterpoint

cosmic horror is when the Thing is Not Familiar, the Location Makes No Fucking Sense, and the Outside is BIG.

gothic horror is when The Thing is Of Your Own Making, the Location has a Deeply Bloody History, and the Outside is Wet and Cold and Is Caging You In.

folk horror is when the Thing Should Be Familiar, But Is Not, the Location Should Be Pleasing, But Is Not, and the Outside is Trying Very Hard To Kill You

Me: *puts a motif in as foreshadowing that is so vague it won’t be figured out until the final reveal* hehe

Me: Why is no one picking up on my foreshadowing :(
