Losing motivation when you have time
Getting motivation at ungodly hours of the day or when busy
Going back to your story trying to remember what the fuck you said
“Am I writing this character good or nah?”
“does the plot make sense?”
feeling guilty sometimes for absolutely no reason
waiting for comments on your fic from specific readers
writing something and thinking “oh yeah, thats definitely going to hurt them”
procrastinating on writing by writing other fics
having too many ideas and not enough time
never finishing your wips
debating whether to add the fucking dumbass joke in that scene or not
wondering if you should or shouldn’t add that angsty scene purely to fuck with the readers bc its not like its gonna kill them or anything
Hoping no one finds it while simultaneously hoping ppl read it
playing music for inspiration and zoning out
planning fics and never writing them
thinking its shit but ppl like it and suddenly ur imposter syndrome acts up LIKE A FUCKING BITCH
loving ur readers so so much
Feeling up to it today, so here’s a little ramble:
Sometimes I think it’s a shame Ghost Hunt ended when it did, because I felt like the relationship Mai and Naru had in Akumu no Sumu Ie was so beautiful– they were for the first time on truly even ground with each other. As a writer, I understand when you know, for a fact as a creator that a story is over but their dynamic in that book was my favorite thing about it. They truly knew each other and accepted each other despite still getting frustrated with each other– but that’s true friendship. You care about someone and know someone so well you can kinda pick at their flaws objectively, and now that Mai knows where Naru is coming from and vice versa, they both do that with rather hilarious results.
There was finally a true equilibrium in their relationship, and that’s because the flucrum of it wasn’t “dream Naru” aka Gene. Gene’s still a pressence in both of their lives but before this, he seemed to overshadow and throw things out of balance for both of them– Naru because he was consumed with finding him and Mai because she couldn’t reconcile “Dream Naru” with the one she knew in the waking world.
There’s a part of me that wants more Ghost Hunt just to see what Mai and Naru are like when they well and truly “get” each other and Gene is, however bittersweetly, where he belongs. Gene is gone, and I think part of his own development as a character was figuring out how to step back and let Naru figure out what Mai had the potential to be to him on her own. Gene reached out to Mai because Naru needed someone, someone who could be there, physically with him to challenge him to be the person he always knew Naru was, to use a phrase I’d coined before– be Naru’s belligerent better angels. But Mai doesn’t need Gene anymore to do that, she knows why Gene broughtthem together. And it’s enough, because it has to be, because Gene’s dead and his ability to infulence the world on Naru’s behalf will never be what it was when he was living.

Asmo: I had three seconds to accentuate my ass, legs, AND crotch, what were you expecting me to do???

i finally remembered what I was gonna request for when they're open again: MC having to share a bed with the brothers, preferably more fluffy then spicy. I love your stuff!!
I haven’t seen a fluff request in my inbox for so long! Can’t wait!
————————————
Surprisingly, he adores when you decide to hop on into his bed, uninvited and invited
He likes to wrap his arms around you and pull you tightly towards his body to warm you up, giving you a little squeeze to remind you he’s still there and he hasn’t received a kiss in a while
But he also likes to touch you with his cold feet just to hear you squeal and laugh
He’ll plant kisses on the back of your head and whisper sweet nothings to you whilst rubbing the back of your hand with his thumb
He will always give you more of the blanket
The only time he ever sleeps in is when you’re in his bed because he really likes to get that extra cuddle session in with you before he’s forced to start the day and deal with his brothers
Makes a fuss when you decide to jump into his bed and for a while, he will just sit there awkwardly with his arm around you, looking over to smile at you
But after a very quick few minutes, he’ll be all up over you and being so so affectionate
His legs are wrapped around yours and his arms are tugging at your waist, allowing you to hear his heart beat in his chest
He does hog the blanket though, so it’s a constant battle for who gets to be warm that night
Turns you over to face him when he wants attention and pouts until you kiss all over his face and tell him how much you love him
He won’t let you leave the bed until noon because he wants to hold you for a little while longer without his brothers taking you for themselves
Will absolutely not let you in his bed and without a doubt starts complaining off the bat, but honestly, he really wants to cuddle
After you’ve made yourself comfy in his arms, so will he as he cuddles up to your side and asks for you to pet his head for a while
Entwines his fingers in yours and strokes your knuckles gently, giving your cheek a few kisses and smiling into your skin
You’ll be able to feel his hot cheeks as he nuzzled up to you; asking you if you’re comfortable every couple minutes
Rolls you over to face him so he can tell you he loves you to your face and smiling and blushing when you say it back
He’ll probably just keep you in his room for the rest of the day so he can hold you for longer and you two can share his little pile of food rations and binge anime
Always loves when you randomly join him in bed and it may very well be the only way to get him to put down a book
Pulls you on top of him immediately and places your head on his chest, stroking your hair slowly whilst you listen to his heart
He moves around a lot when he’s in bed but he generally tends to stay completely still whenever you’re sleeping on him so he won’t wake you up
Gives you forehead kisses and squeezes you tight, telling you he loves you a few times every few minutes
He has a habit of drawing little patterns on your back and humming to himself while he does it
Normally tries to get you out his room early so his brothers don’t cause a scene when they see you walk out of his room but sometimes he just likes to cuddle all day and hold you in his arms
He always looks forward to the day you climb into his bed and cuddle up next to him
It’s his favourite thing as you move closer to kiss his cheek while he combs your hair with his fingers, giving you a little smirk as he pulls your head closer for another kiss
Always wraps his legs around yours so you two are extremely close and you can feel his hot breath against your skin and his soft snores when he sleeps
His feet are constantly warm actually and he likes to touch you with them to warm you up
Holds your head in the crook of his neck and hums to you whilst occasionally kissing your head
Doesn’t leave the bed early the next morning and doesn’t let you leave him either. He wants so much more love from you
He has the biggest smile plastered on his face as you join him in bed, arms stretched open wide so he could hold you on his chest
Prefers to let you lay on his stomach because he wouldn’t want to roll onto you in his sleep and crush you
Has his arm firmly pressed to your lower back all night so you don’t fall off and squeezes you to tell you he wants a little bit of attention
Lots of kisses and I love you’s are given and he always loves when you kiss his head and cheeks
He stays awake most the night to make sure you’re comfortable though and that you won’t fall off of him or that he’s not just generally crushing you
You’re staying by his side the next morning, he wants to hold you for longer and he isn’t letting you leave him that soon
He’s always thrilled when you get into his bed with him, his arms quickly clasping around your stomach and pulling you ridiculously close
Slips his leg between yours and spoons you, hugging your waist tighter and tighter and kissing your nape sweetly
Has a thing of murmuring in his sleep about shit you’ll never hear him say when he’s awake so a few love confessions slip his lips throughout the night
He knows his feet are chilly and likes to purposely touch you with them to hear you squeal. He pretty much doesn’t let you actually sleep because he’s constantly tickling and teasing you
The bed sheets always, without a doubt, end up on the floor in the morning
You already knew you weren’t leaving that bed in the morning and you’re stuck there until the late afternoon, still tightly in Belphie’s grasp
What people think writers’ search histories look like: how to get away with murder, best way to dispose of a body, how long do humans take to decompose, how much blood do you have to lose to die, can i strangle someone with dental floss... etc
What an actual writer’s seach history looks like:
Kim Dokja: You ever wanna talk about your emotions Cale?
Cale: no.
Yoojin: I do!
Kim Dokja: I know, Yoojin.
Han Yoojin: I'm sad!
Kim Dokja: I know Yoojin.
