So, I made a DW a few years ago but fell off posting on it pretty quickly. I’ve made this new account of hopes in being more active!

Name: Eclipse


Age: 31


Country: USA


Subscription/Access Policy: My blog is 18+, as I only feel comfortable interacting with other adults, and I do sometimes discuss mature topics. Right now, all my journals are public, but it’s possible I may post some more personal stuff that I might feel more comfortable friends locking. We’ll have to see!

I like to post about: So far, I’m using my journal to crosspost my fanfic and original writing, as well as sharing some of my own rambly thoughts on fandom. My writing tends to focus on monster romance, horror, supernatural stuff, villains, or some combination thereof.


I’m sure I will continue posting my writing and talking about my fandoms, but it’s possible I may also post book reviews or movie reviews. 


Main Fandoms: Horror fandom generally, but specifically the Alien movies and the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. My other main fandom interests are: the band Ghost, Beetlejuice, and Phantom of the Opera, as well as the monster romance community.


Other Fandoms: The Stargate franchise, Once Upon a Time, and the Batman villains fandom. I don’t talk about these things quite as much right now, but I still enjoy them and would be happy to follow you if you enjoy these things!


About Me/Other Info: I am in my “cringe but free” era, and as a result, have been writing more OC/self-insert x Canon Character fic – specifically OC x horror villain stuff. If that’s not your thing, this probably isn’t the right blog for you. ^^’

Also, while I generally do not care what people ship, I am very uncomfortable with lolisho.

I'm surprised they let you get close enough.

sunnymodffa: Batman & Robin in cat form (Bat!cat & Robin!kitten)
[personal profile] sunnymodffa posting in [community profile] fail_fandomanon
 
The Justice League aren't just asking potential recruits if they eat pussy, they're trying to trap them into eating pussy and revealing their villainous nature.

No masturbation, no eating pussy, potentially no sucking cock: what even is there to live for? Really everyone in Gotham trying to destroy the city is just doing everyone else a favour.

[personal profile] florianschild
I am once again completing my Year in Books meme! I had so much fun with this meme last year and I really enjoyed going back and reviewing my answers again as I prepared for this year's reflection. So without further ado...

30!

Lots more (including some hot takes) under the cut! )

tropicsbear: Close up of Kyougai from Kimetsu no Yaiba looking angry (KnY: Kyougai angry)
[personal profile] tropicsbear

Like Day 3's prompt, Day 7 felt familiar so I went digging and found the entry back in 2020. I'm opting to skip Day 7 since I can't think of anything else I'd like to list, and I don't want to just reuse what I already said.

Challenge #8

Talk about your creative process.

This one's a bit tricky because I don't really have a creative process 😆 But I'll do my best to outline what I do when I want to write fanfic.

  1. (Usually) wait until it's after dinner so there's less chances of people interrupting me.
  2. Close my door and if it's already night, I close all my shades. No one can perceive me, doesn't matter if I'm writing filth or fluff.
  3. Look for whichever WIP file piques my interest at the moment, based on the filenames.
  4. If I'm just starting out, I review whatever notes I've thrown into the file and begin writing from the very start of the story. If I've already written something, I'll re-read what I have so far.
  5. Follow the vibes throughout. Go with the flow of consciousness and see where it takes me.
  6. Delete anything that doesn't fit with the current vibe I'm trying to go for. If the section's already pretty long, see if it can be salvaged and reused for a different fic.
  7. If stuck or running into writer's block, do a quick canon review of the specific moment that inspired me to write the fanfic. Get distracted and end up going on a mini-binge-watch/binge-read of canon.

Honorable mentions:

  • I used to not be able to write without some sort of music in the background but these days I go without.
  • Very, very rarely I'll have a very rough outline for the fanfic. If I do, I'll go through one bullet point at a time, fleshing it out before deleting the bullet point.

Day 1 * Day 2 * Day 3 * Day 4 * Day 5 * Day 6 * Day 7

[personal profile] tropicsbear

💼 Spent most of my work morning in calls which wasn't fun but they didn't drag as long as they could've, so I'll take it.

📺 Watched Jigokuraku S02E02 and fully jumped onto the Choubei/Touma ship. Meanwhile, I continue to view Gabimaru + Sagiri as a queerplatonic relationship because y'all cannot convince me that Gabimaru is interested in anyone romantically aside from his wife.

🍗 Had Bonchon for lunch! I've been thinking about their soy garlic chicken since the other day and decided that it was time to give into the craving. Meanwhile, dinner was a peanut butter and banana milkshake, and Vietnamese spring rolls.

This should be worked into a story where people have to be on guard against illusion magic. Character X secretly has sad nipples, and their fuckbuddy in the Antarctic research station is like, "All right, tits out, let's see if you're who you say you are."

tropicsbear: Picture of a grilled cheese sandwich with a glass of juice in the background (Food: Grilled cheese sandwich)
[personal profile] tropicsbear

‘How do you reduce a national dish to a powder?’: the weird, secretive world of crisp flavours

Reuben and Peggy’s jobs are not top secret in the way top secret jobs usually are. [...] But this is where things get odd: search the name of the company they work for – a name I have agreed not to print – and you’ll find little information about the work Reuben and Peggy do. You could click through every page on their company’s website and leave with no idea that it creates the most beloved crisp flavours in the world.

(I was so sure I'd already shared this, but I can't find the entry.)

I'll always be a fan of longform, deep-dive articles into the most obscure and/or everyday thing. Like, I eat chips fairly often and I'm aware that some countries have flavors that others don't, but I never considered how geopolitics could affect flavor availability.
