Screaming: Internally, Externally
Objectively I don't THINK I have more stuff to do the next two weeks than usual, but for some reason I'm feeling an extreme sense of overwhelm. Just like constant stress like a coiled-up spring.
Traveling any distance always stresses me out, I guess.
Anyway, I have been crossposting fic and I realized that it's kind of dumb to like, keep it all squirreled away until I'm done, for some value of done, so I pinned my fic masterpost. Kinda satisfying looking at a compact text list of stuff.
Right now it's heavily weighted towards FF14 because that's a lot of my more recent stuff that I also didn't think would need an overhaul -- I have a tendency to lose track of what's going on moment to moment in a story and doing dumb shit like having someone take off their pants twice in a scene and I think that should probably be rectified.
Also, looking at my old fic leaves me with some questions, such as:
1) Why did I tag a story with "Water"? Just "Water". Like people would be cruising the archive for some water fics.
2) I had completely forgotten that I had a story where Dr Lugae was an exiled royal scientist from Damcyan, which I think was because of that "Damcyan is technologically advanced" headcanon I mentioned earlier, but like...holy shit was I implying Edward knows this guy????? what on earth. Wondering if I should stick with this for a fic I'm working on because it's kind of an insane idea, but on the other hand...it's kind of an insane idea.
3) At what point do you officially start considering bladed weapons to be sexual implements because I'm up to a solid 4 fics about this specifically
4) god I have so many phrases i reuse across fics and they are all so weirdly specific and they're usually something kinda gross
Also, for the record I have no real intention of playing FF16 ever (don't own a PS5, don't like super realistic graphics, don't like action RPGs much) but i jumped on a bandwagon and now I am kinda obsessed with this screenshot I took of my WoL as Dominant of Diabolos, Eikon of Nightmares. I have no idea if it fits the vibe of the game -- everybody seems to be wearing armor in it. They've got wizards, right?
(Diabolos's element in most games, aside from "darkness", actually seems to be "gravity", or possibly "fractions", but you know)

Nice that the archiving is chugging along well!

god I have so many phrases i reuse across fics
ME TOO. You'd think, after noticing I keep reusing a phrase or a description, I'd stop using it, but somehow it keeps sneaking in. Stop talking about unspoken secrets or painful admissions burning in people's throats!
no subject
The number of times I have specifically said something was "pulled out like a rotten tooth" is like, really high for such an incredibly specific simile. What is it about stuff like painful admissions that brings out the personal stock phrases?

re: reusing phrases in fic, honestly I daren't consider mine! I'm already super paranoid that all my sex scenes are basically the same lol, absolutely not gonna go there.
no subject
Honestly I think everybody worries that their sex scenes all sound the same because, I mean there's probably going to be some content overlap and nobody has an infinite rainbow of blowjob descriptions in them, but also...a lot of repeated phrases fade into the background of the greater scene, I think, unless they're like...really weird and specific.
