Sunday

Guardian/adjacent:
WHAT IS HAPPENING
Kissing manip.
Love Bai Yu's scorn for sitting in a chair.
In-progress socmed Twitfic.
Fanart: Careful hands. Animated "worth it." 

Untamed/adjacent: 
❤ that boot.
I love my baby boy so much.
Fanart: Modern Wangxian with possible lapdance.

Speaking of AUs with lapdances, who remembers the Eagle AU Strip for Me? I love that fic.

I didn't even open a damn document this week, much less write anything in one, so still no snippet. Two solid weeks of no writing. 😣😫💀 I can sort of feel my brain coming back, gears starting to catch (if not mesh), etc., so I hope that'll resume soon. It sucks. I hate it. I'm afraid of losing my fic writing brain like I lost my essay writing brain. Really really really don't want that to happen. Impermanence and the transience of being, etc. etc. but come on.

ETA: I forgot to mention, [personal profile] nnozomi had the wonderful idea of putting a quote (from a poem or whatever else) on a card. I'm not up for making image-based art cards (finding appropriate ephemera to include often takes as long as the paint/glue part) but doing something that's just background color and texture with a quote would be (I think?) okay? So please, if you'd like a card with a quote, let me know--and tell me the quote you'd like to me to write for you. (also color preferences if you like!) And thanks to [personal profile] glymr I have plenty of international postage stamps!

writer's block

When I get writers block it sometimes helps to do something that engages another part of my creative brain, a non-linguistic part. In my case the best choices are, in order, abstract art-making/art journaling, artistic photography, and hand work (crochet, embroidery, sewing) sometimes while watching some kind of streaming storytelling (fiction, documentary). It's like I need those non-verbal gears to turn for awhile and then my verbal storytelling gears can re-engage. Good luck. I feel ya.

Ah. Understood. Autoimmune fatigue is a bitch. Hang in there, and sending you healing vibes.

I'm glad the quote idea sounds good! Sending best wishes to your brain gears.

That kissing manip is fairly awesome...

Hehee, smile convergence! :D I love the kiss manip. Gorgeous! The way he sits in that second chair looks *very* uncomfortable, though. :D

Speaking of AUs with lapdances

I definitely remember a Guardian fic with lap dances. One of them is a stripper. I liked the first part a lot! (I can go look it up for you if you don't know it.)

Yes! It'll come back. <3

Well. :) It's a series, so I guess you can read them separately.

It only has the Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei stripper part in the first story, and I really liked that. Starting from the second story, it adds Ye Zun - and not everybody likes that. :)

Here's the first story:
