WIP Wednesday, what has Daichi gotten himself into?! edition.

Just trying to pull a little thing together for spooky month and the daisuga halloween party! Fingers crossed I get it done;;;

Screencap of a portion of a story. The text is too long to be included here. In summary, Daichi has fallen asleep, but is woken by strange voices in his head, which he interprets as a dream. He is pulled all the way to consciousness, however, when a strange voice that is NOT in his head and is very much in HIS ROOM tells him that he's being quite rude.

Chatting tonight about media that was Formative, and I was reminded of this gem I watched back when... I was far too young to be watching it, probably. We had HBO when I was young and my cool aunt let me. I'm glad she did, because it stuck with me decades later. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW4m...

If you're at all interested in where all those little fantasy guys I was drawing a week or so ago came from... it's this story. I'm just trying to find the motivation to keep working on it;;;

It's got so much potential... I just keep blocking myself. 🙃

LRP... Guilty as charged, right down to the avoidance. 🙃 There's a heaping helping of misery involved when you think this way, which is just... never great when all this is supposed to be fun.

I'm trying to break out of this rut, but it's hard.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

It’s the appropriate month for this;; I tried something different and pushed myself a bit here.

Lotus Eaters
#Kurodai | E | 30k | Horror

tw: depression, gore, ‼️MIND THE TAGS‼️

Daichi moves to a small village seeking solace. But sometimes grief is all a broken heart has to hold on to.

And that kind of grief? Well, that kind of grief will eat you alive.

🔗+🏷️⬇️

Banner graphic for the Kurodai fic, Lotus Eaters. Pictured is Kuroo Tetsurou from the chest up, looking slightly down at the viewer, framed on either side by insect wings and darkness. His face shows a mix of sadness and fear, and where his left eye should be, there is a lotus flower with a black center. He is reaching towards the viewer, one hand stretched into the foreground, either asking for help or about to grab and take... you decide.

You're allowed to enjoy your ships on your own. You don't need to join that discord. You don't have to follow that big name artist/writer/meme maker. You don't have to accept the popular fanon headcanon.

You can just enjoy them how *you* want to on *your* terms. You don't need anyone's permission.

Well, on the one hand, my most popular HQ fic BY FAR is a Kurodai fic. On the other hand, my most unpopular HQ fic is ALSO a Kurodai fic.

It's not apples to apples though... the popular one is a 60k smut marathon and this one is... horror. I think it's more content than ship;;;

Scars are like seasoning. They highlight and draw out the flavor to make the whole dish tastier. 🥰

Heheheh, the burn IS a whole story, you are correct! And gutcuts only scary if they're deep enough;;;

sinkatarts @sinkatarts.bsky.social · 13d

This whole story is just an excuse to have beefy, sad Daichi with long hair, I think....

Seems like there's a line forming... he's almost too powerful.

Fantasy Daichi doesn't miss any meals. (But he does miss not having a super guilty conscience and a body full of scars.)

Considering like. 7 people read the krdi horror story I did last month, I am skeptical about whether or not anyone will appreciate what I might do for them in the halloween exchange... but I guess I can always try to draw something. 🤷

I did not. I'm about to sign into work in, like, 20 minutes. Super early, but I can sign out earlier and then maybe sleep?????

sinkatarts @sinkatarts.bsky.social · 15d

Haaa, I'm making it work a little differently than it usually does. And treating demons in general differently, just overall;;;
