Tried to describe the tongue..
"Wet.. Skin? Well it's not really skin is it.. Wet muscle is giving me the heebie jeebies. I know muscles are wet, but I prefer not to think about it!"
*googles other terms*
"I guess 'wet mucus membrane' isn't wrong; somehow it's NOT making this better either"
Current side quest is learning how to draw foxes and wolves exclusively so I can turn Teen Wolf characters into pet memes
Inspired by the "She's chewing on your tail man!" video, because that's 100% (any Stiles ship really but in my case specifically-) fullshift!Fox Stiles/Wolf Isaac established relationship!Stisaac.
Just Isaac watching a movie and chilling, used to his gremlin boyfriend Doing Things and not noticing Stiles using him as a stim toy until someone points it out
The double edged sword of reading other people's fics about medical/law enforcement settings tagged "medical/law enforcement inaccuracies" and going "duh, it's fanfic, it'll still be good", then returning to continue writing my own fics and obsessively checking archives to make sure the- mentioned for like 5 words- weather in a specific city, at a specific day/time in 2009 is accurate
"Okay, I only need to completely write one part of the chapter, finish two, and partially rewrite another, then I'm officially done! ...I could also split this one technically complete part into three different more intricate ones..."
I fear the fic is never seeing the light of day, simply because I keep adding stuff to the first chapter instead of actually finishing it :')
Mind you, the last time I've had the idea to split a section it turned the chapter from having 9 overall to having 24
Which was how I came to decide to separate the story into 3 parts/chapters, because it was supposed to be a oneshot at first but I still hadn't fit all of the plot in and decided it would get a little crowded otherwise
Love when I want to write three different fics at the same time, but can't decide which one to start with, so instead of writing anything I'll just stare at my desktop for ages doing absolutely nothing, and when I eeny, meeny, miny, moe it and open one I'll just stare at it like yeah no not that one, but also not the other one, or the other one. I want to write them *at the same time* but also not hop between stories, so clearly the only reasonable decision is it to write none of them and continue to be plagued by the urge to write
Worst part is when I get so fixated on wanting to write a specific fic that I cannot read *anything* else because all I want to do is read *that one* - you know, the one I haven't written yet. And *then* the above happens. It may or may not be happening right now and I may or may not be losing my mind
Weird flex but the yet incomplete first chapter of my current main fic has passed 100 pages in the document and because I kind of write everywhere at the same time I. Keep. Getting. Lost.
I'll need to quickly cross reference a minor detail and then it'll be 20 minutes later and I'm writing a completely different scene because I got distracted and forgot what I was looking for while trying to find it
"What's your writing process?" I don't even know anymore.
Yesterday my regular scheduled Dish Doing Dialogue (me talking to myself; surprisingly, that does not make it a monologue) got interrupted by the Spirit of Fanfic projecting a sentence into my brain to add to a fic whose document I haven't looked at in 2 months.
My current main fic project is being written on all ends simultaneously, including- but not limited to- mentioning things in chapter two that haven't happened in chapter one, because chapter one isn't done (it does, however, have a start and an end. The middle part is missing and I am suffering because my procrastination of three incredibly important scenes keeps making me add more to other parts instead of finally getting it over with. Knowing that won't stop me from simply continuing to do so though)
I'm like "man, I should really focus on getting back to my main project or at least finish the side one" and then I find myself 2 hours later opening a new document to start rewriting the bare bones of an entirely different, age old WIP
How am I procrastinating the fic I started to help get out of procrastinating the main one-
This isn't even the same ship anymore-
Currently working on a PWP oneshot and it's practically done; start, end, summary.
Haven't written a lick of the smut part yet; got the start of it, the middle point, and the end of it too; cannot connect the pieces.
It's kind of ridiculous because I've written two other ones just last week, but now my brain is soo smooth, no thoughts, I just keep adding to the end of the story instead
Funny bit is I've been writing them to get out of writers block with my current longfic project, instead of writing one and getting back to work I just started another, then another, now even my plunger's got a clog :')
Did midnight Christmas Cookies in January baking yesterday, and it was absolutely as scuffed as it sounds.
Recipe requires eggs; did not have eggs.
200g of butter; well I've got 150, that's probably fine.
Measured flour, first of 4 dry ingredients that need to be measured; scale battery died, no new batteries at home.
Whatever I've got a measuring cup..
Two of the remaining ingredients want to be 50g each; measuring cup does not have a 50g scale.
Eyeballing Everything.
"Next, wrap the dough in foil and chill for 2 hours"
...Sitting in my kitchen at 1am...
Alright, okay, sure.
Got done around 4 in the morning, but now I have cookies! They're even edible too! They definitely wanted eggs and less ground hazelnut, but it's finee
I love that writing fanfiction makes me do Normal Things™ such as pulling up a calendar from 2010 to check if the unnamed day I'm writing about really is a weekday or if I have to change the plot to fit a weekend
Happy to announce that it is in fact a Friday, so I can go ahead with my original plan AND write post-classes fun
