^^ dont take this as 100% true or take it as a time limit or anything its just how long people would take to write a book
most published authors would actually take their time to write, i'd assume. theres more to writing than just writing out words.
don't forget that writing at your own pace is normal and if you force yourself to write you'll feel burnt out, which is what you are probably feeling right now you'll feel like you do want to write, but you just can't bring yourself to for no reason at all, and it feels so wrong to just stare at what you've already written and add nothing to it, am i right? its also completely normal to get random bursts of inspiration i'm going to be honest, thats completely the reason why I've only written short oneshots and have been avoiding long projects
i think motivation is a key feature, and its not your fault i think you should take a break from thinking about it too much, it'll only bring you more stress
dont take this to heart but if you feel like its right for you please listen to my advice
I know what happens in this chapter. It’s all in my head. I have an outline. I just need to write it out. But it’s been weeks since I’ve written a single word.
I started this project out strong. I wrote an average of 2-3k words a day over the course of 9 days. I ended up writing a total of 15k words. But now I have to fill in the blanks in between the initial scenes I was so passionately writing. So I’ve lost all that motivation and inspiration that initially kept me going.
I don’t understand why I’m like this. It’s infuriating.

Y’ALL HAVE TIME TO REBLOG THIS. IT TAKES LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS.
“this ship is not canon” babe, they’re fictional characters. they’re not real. they’re literally dolls we play with. we don’t care about whether or not these fictional characters’ love story is canon in this piece of media that is also entirely based on fiction. I mean, sure, canon would be lovely, but it’s a bonus. it’s not necessary. what we care about is the fun of talking about these 2 idiots being in love.
we don’t give a fuck if they didn’t kiss in “canon”. they had raw sex in thousands of fics about them though. and I’d say that’s more than enough to make people who ship them happily ship them even harder. happy shipping!
this is specifically if its about a series/books btw if its a ship i can excuse calling it yaoi
but in my humble honest opinion
if its a manga/book/series that you call ‘old man yaoi land’ i’d better see old men fucking
if not thats just ‘old men kissing and falling in love: the manga’ to me
both are beautiful but when i hear yaoi and theyre referring to a book i’m assuming it has SEX in it.
I fucking hate antis who won’t shut up about “toxic yaoi”. Or toxic yuri. Or toxic old man yaoi. Cause 100% of the time it’s barely even toxic, just two people who argue or slightly dislike eachother. Like house and Wilson from house MD. THEYRE NOT TOXIC OLD MAN YAOI GODDAMN. They’re not even old 😭😭 I fucking hate h*lson so much bro.
and somehow im both simultaneously.
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
hell yeah
most of my headcanons are dependent on ‘whatever i feel like’ so this is my baseline for everything nd i think it should be basic fandom etiquette 😭
I think it's okay to headcanon a character as any gender or sexuality. Unless you headcanon, for example, an implied Transfem character as transmasc or other way around- headcanon an implied transmasc character as Transfem
It won't make you a supportive trans ally. It will make you a transphobe because you invalidate other trans people (transfem or transmasc).
If the character doesn't have anything implied about their gender, then sure, you can headcanon them as transfem or transmasc. Agender or Non-binary. Cis or not, the choice is yours. Flip the coin if you like and choose the gender headcanon you like on them.
The only thing is, you still have to refer to a character as their canon pronouns (the way other characters refer to the character. As an example: character in bungo stray dogs referring to dazai as he/him and not she/her or they/them) when it comes to posts that are not related to the gender headcanon you like on character.
As an example: a post with cis mafuyu. The poster refers to Mafuyu as she/her or headcanons Mafuyu as cis woman. Referring to Mafuyu as he/him or they/them because that's your headcanon will cause confusion among people. "Why is this person referring to Mafuyu as he/him when Mafuyu is canon she/her (or cis woman)?" type of confusion.
Same basic thing goes to characters with implied sexuality. Don't headcanon an implied bi character as gay or lesbian (just because you don't like that the bi female character, as an example, also likes men and not women only) as it makes you biphobic.
Just don't be an ass.
Anyway, my point is, don't let other people stop you from headcanoning your favourite male character as transfem or your favourite female character as transmasc (or any other gender for that matter). As long as the character doesn't have an implied gender that is (in some way) important to their character (Like Mizuki from project sekai).
Have fun to your heart and don't let people stop you.
