obsessed enough with stsg to consume fanfics like a starved man but not obsessed enough to write my own (false)

will you ever make your gojo clan come true? it'll be fun if we all gather around and make our own gojo children that's been wasted and thrown away by the clan itself!
yes! i will! i'm commissioning one of my favourite artists for reference sheets of all my jjk ocs, and i create new ones semi-regularly to integrate with all my hcs <3 i think that's a fun idea too! maybe i'll post some info about my ocs so others can reply with how theirs would interact with mine? then i can open a gc with everyone :D
why do you never rt art? or literally anything
i retweet things i relate to or really like sometimes! however i don't do it much out of personal preferences, i'm quite shy and i don't want to be perceived by others out of the circle i'm comfortable with ^^' i consume things i like in my own privacy, in my own space -- however, whenever i'm more comfortable in the community, i'll be sure to retweet more things and support the wonderful creators in this space <3
omgg when will archetype release!
i'm currently aiming for late-august! i'm working hard to finish it as soon as i can :> however, i can't guarantee any solid release date, which i apologise for -- for a little more detail, the prologue + chapters one to four are fully complete and ready to go at any point, but i only upload complete fics, so there'll always be a significantly long wait in between every major fic release :')
any favorite small artists? they need to shine!
it really depends on what you define as small! interestingly, i find that people often view the word 'small' very differently -- since i don't know the follower range you're looking for, i'll just recommend some of my moots instead :> apologies in advance if my recommendations aren't what you're expecting :')
@_Gegeow, @karusekki, @deadbaguettes_, @Drqw_, and @RainyRegenfeder all draw beautifully and deserve much love and support! <3
What made u like stsg??? I am so hyperfixated abt them and I love hearing people’s opinions and experiences 💕💕
i started liking satoru before suguru, because i really relate to satoru and his experiences :> then, i realised how similar my relationship with my best friend is with satosugu, and that made me love both of them much MUCH more! satosugu makes me feel nostalgic for something i personally don't have -- their blue spring. i love their carefree teenage years and their inseparable bond, and i also love the inherent tragedy of it all. but yeah! it stemmed from personal relatability, and that's what makes me like every single character i like to begin with
what‘s a piece of writing advice you‘d give to someone who‘s struggling to write longer fics?
i actually struggle with longer fics as well LMAO ;-; i'll do my best with giving advice though :>
i personally do lots of planning before i even start the fic, so i have pages and pages of setup (worldbuilding, characters, plot, etc) in my documents -- and then, i outline each chapter when i come to it, it's a really rough outline and sometimes i even talk to myself in them, but it gives me a direction to follow. i don't follow these outlines with 100% accuracy and add ideas as i go, but with this point-form planning system at least i'm not sitting in front of a blank page lol. outlining is much less brain work so i definitely recommend! finally, i also pre-plan my endings so i know what i'm working for when i write, and it's also fun to lay down foreshadowing everywhere haha
so you have a favorite fic atm? (yours and other people‘s)
i do! currently, i'm in love with 'just say we're good' and its sequel 'if and/or when' by joa <3 definitely recommend! for my own fics, ichor still is my favourite :> but i love my other oneshots equally
thanks for the ask! i've been thinking about making a rec list for you all, but so far i haven't actually started yet -- if you want my recs, they're my public bookmarks on ao3, but i want to go into more detail soon
omg hi rei!! how‘s your day going so far? :)
Hi! This is the only way I can contact you at the point. Do you remember 1○st? The one with the writing challenge you participated in (it’s still ongoing, I’m just waiting for the last person to write their part 😄). So, I got suspended 🥲 If you want to follow back, I followed you from @gsgsnoao2
