@ViciousKnish @Sirens_Scales it’s completely unrelated to the writing discussion but since i still get notifs i’d like to point out that OF COURSE it’d be three adhd bitches arguing with each other in different fonts

@Sirens_Scales @dmnexppwp Not invalidating you at all, ADHD works a little differently for everyone and I find other people’s experiences with it really interesting, especially when they’re different from mine!

This is dumb and vulnerable and I may regret asking and delete, but here goes anyway: fic writers, how do you deal with the heartbreak of having a project you were very excited about absolutely flopping? I had a bunch more planned & written. I can’t bring myself to open the doc

@mochi_beloved oh hi! yeah i know i think i got like a thousand kudos after your tweet and picked up writing for stsg again lol u did god’s work getting me back into the fandom thanksss

@dmnexppwp I CANT BELIEVE YOU WROTE THIS FIC 🥹 I literally love this oneshot just beautiful i have recced it so many times to people

Gegos are incredible horny all the time but they’re also angst demons and sometimes they will mix those two in a single story so you’re forced to cry with a hard on. Thanks.

devastating news: your worst fanfic has a huge amount of kudos bc you were one of the first to write for the fandom

A little surprise 💐 #goge #五夏

@ViciousKnish @Sirens_Scales oh shit i’m sorry!!! i didn’t mean to be a bitch i was just drunk yesterday always bomb ppl with ur opinion on twt most of the time the person on the other side is a dumb bitch like me😃💀

@dmnexppwp @Sirens_Scales sorry lol I mostly lurk on here because I’m too verbose for twitter

@Sirens_Scales @ViciousKnish ADHD high five! i see you and i love you😭😭

@ViciousKnish @dmnexppwp I will agree with you on this point: intrinsic motivation is extremely important not just for art but for self-fulfillment in general. I need to work on that. Unfortunately I have ADHD, which makes intrinsic motivation very, very difficult to achieve.

@duskcry it’s a horseshoe theory kinda thing where at some point giving this advice outright gaslights the person into believing they’re wrong for wanting recognition and the only correct way to create is to be a fairy on the stardust of their own vibes which is the case with OP i think

@dmnexppwp It isn’t “pick me” for ppl to have other motivations in the creative process than you. Ppl give that advice bc young writers basing their self worth off of numbers in an attention economy like the internet can be gen dangerous for the reasons you just outlined above

@ViciousKnish @Sirens_Scales babe i ain’t reading all that but i agree everything has many shades and a lot of things can be true at the same time! writing is very selfish in itself bc i only care about saying what I want to say, too all the love and support to the fellow author!

@dmnexppwp @Sirens_Scales I think when most people say "write for yourself" they mean it's helpful to have an internal motivation to fall back on when you don't get the response you hoped for, because so much of that IS luck.

gojo being jealous of himself is my magnum opus this is the best thing i’ve ever written (geto doesn’t discriminate he WILL fuck whatever version of gojo he can get his hands on) #gego #stsg

@poppyb0ba i don’t get it pls explain is the fandom still in 2023?…. i dropped it back then but it’s been pretty chill so far? or am i lucky? (context: i have like 4 active moots lmao)

im being taken behind the gego woodshed and shot 12 times right now to atone

the words submissive and suguru geto in one sentence makes my brain glitch out Can’t compute Not Real doesnt happen

@Kiro_ir0 ok i’m sry we’re not that close that was too much😶‍🌫️

@Kiro_ir0 i raise you one better! geto with a curse arm as in he uses his cursed technique to manipulate some first grade or second grade cursed spirit with some transformative technique to work as his arm when he needs it. maybe it had tentacles for gojo pleasing purposes who knows

WAIT OMG GETO WITH A BIONIC ARM

@Kiro_ir0 YES IM HAPPY WE SHARE THE VISION!! also pls ignore the typos i promise i can write i am a bestselling stsg author in my bedroom!

I could not have put it any better omg

@Kiro_ir0 blue eyed epitome of rightfulness everyone always count on (star spangled man with a plan) and his emo turned evil best friend with long dark hair and missing arm who was the very first to see how human and kind that untouchable person was UGH

@Kiro_ir0 same. the stucky to stsg pipeline IS real

I started questioning why I’m so emotional over stsg, and then I remembered my otp has always been stucky

@Sirens_Scales it’s a form of pick-me don’t you think? as if then readers will love you more bc ur humble lmao yeah right i write to connect with those who enjoy my shit and i love my readers to the moon and back! and yeah i want tons of them so WHAT?

@dmnexppwp It IS performative! Storytelling is an essential part of the human experience, and it has ALWAYS been about connecting, sharing, making others feel. “Write for yourself” is so disingenuous.

UGH FUCK HYPOMANIA PHASE I WANT TO WRITE I CANT FOCUSSSS

@jiucum you have to be your BIGGEST fan!! promote yourself read yourself love your fics enjoy the concepts! and then when you get some criticism you welcome it because you always want things you love to be better 🖤

i’m not weird for liking my own fics right??? i do reread them and enjoy them as a reader… it doesn’t feel THAT cringe… its jus the mistakes and awkward pace that make me wince and it makes me think like “huh i prob could have phrased if i thought about it longer”

i don’t mean it in 100% literal sense i’m not a god to control everything but damn it’d be nice if they didn’t get used to me to telling them what to do also who am i kidding i only feel alive when i have things depending on me lmao i need a private twt acc i guess

the funny thing about building your whole life about controlling every aspect of it from how when and who goes on vacation to which boyfriend your sister marries is that when you inevitably crumble under the weight of it there’s no one to control you
