I was feeling funky so!!! I design. I think it’s cool concept if their weapon is made of red paint that can transform :D

As a writer I wanted to ask if numbers (specifically likes or reblogs) matter to you? I want to start posting on Tumblr (reader-inserts for TWST too) but I'm scared I'll end up getting demotivated due to a lack of traction :( I know people say to just write for yourself but what would the point of posting it be then? I just wanted to know your opinion on this.

Oh my answer is going to be a little lengthy! I'll be answering this based on my own perceptions so it's totally fine if people think differently than me :>

Short answer: mostly yes, and i don't think it's a bad thing to care about numbers 😌 but dont let it consume you and as much as possible try not to let it discourage you from writing what you want!

Long answer: Personally, above all, feedback matters to me the most! Hearing what people think/if people enjoyed my fics is much more important that seeing numbers go up.

However in most cases feedback does count towards the numbers— other than feedback through asks, feedback tends to come in the form of reblogs (both reblog in text and tags) or in replies on Tumblr, which contribute to the notes count. Plus, because the tagging system isn't always... working, reblogs, which also contribute to notes and therefore numbers, are incredibly important in getting your work out there, thus getting feedback, which in turn usually gives fic writers the motivation to keep writing and posting. Likes, well, don't really do anything to get your stuff out there even though your notes will mostly be comprised of likes, but they're kind of cute to see, especially when it's a name you recognize like a "it's you again!" or a "wait that's someone i follow they liked something i wrote?"

Plus, I'm just a really big fan of looking at numbers, which is why I said my perception might be different. I like math and love statistics, so it's kind of satisfying seeing something go from 8 notes to a hundred.

Still, I honestly think the TWST community (even with some bad apples) has a lot of very supportive people when it comes to writers, who love giving writers attention, especially newer blogs. The community isn't perfect but it's a community consistently growing and a community that can never get enough of content, so there's always room for more fic writers, and artists in general, you know?

I think it never hurts to at least try and dip your toes in writing and posting! See I think the key thing when people connect writing for yourself to not caring about the numbers is to actually write for yourself and at your own pace? In my years of experience writing there were a few things that got me to stop. The first was just losing interest in the fandom, it's normal and it's okay, the second is lack of feedback, which if you've put out work you're happy enough to post it's on the audience's part to provide it, and the third is burnout from requests.

The thing is when you get requests, you work on it and there's this added pressure of getting it out quickly and making sure it has to be good enough for others to like it and not just yourself, and then if it gets little feedback and numbers, it feels like a double whammy? basically awful. of course writing for yourself doesn't mean never take requests, go for it especially if it's something that motivates you and you enjoy! but what i'm saying is try not to be too harsh or give yourself too much pressure so you enjoy the writing process and you have less regrets overall...

and well, sometimes you just have writing slumps and that's normal. If you ever encounter it I promise there's no harm in taking a break, maybe do other things until you find the motivation to write again. Most people do not have the motivation to pump out fics regularly without pause and you shouldn't pressure yourself to do the same! Some days you'll probably find yourself writing a lot and some none at all and that's normal!

Anyway this post is getting long haha but yeah, I think just find a healthy balance— it's okay to care about the numbers but try not to stress too much over it, try your hand at posting, and if you do find yourself demotivated then remember to take appropriate measures whether it's to take a hiatus or writing for a different fandom or whatever you need to do

Plus, you know, general reminder that many writers leave due to lack of reblogs replies and feedback in general, and seeing people leave might discourage others from even starting, so as much as possible show your writers love even if it's just an ask 💖

Hmmmmmmm....

Hmmmmmmmmm....

*more thinking noises*

Ngl, I kinda wanna interact with my twstsona with a couple blogs' ocs but I feel so shy just entering their inboxes 🧎‍♀️. The day I do is one I will ascend to the heavens so uh if you see a random birb in your inbox hiding on anon, it me. Probably

“Greetings distant traveler. I am Shizuka, Guardian of Chinju Forest and its inhabitants. How one has received this sacred duty or the cruel scar on one's eyes is a secret to be kept to oneself don't you think?”

》 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐄

A young girl who guards Chinju Forest alongside the Protector of the Grove. Due to her distant nature around humans, she is hailed as an ethereal being whose blindness is no obstacle for her devastating arrows that hunt down its enemies.

Guardian of Chinju Forest (Inazuma)

》 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

Shizuka’s initial personality seems fitting with her rather ethereal look. She doesn't seem to really mingle with people, preferring to spend time alone in Chinju Forest or near nature, and chooses not to speak unless spoken to. She is often occupied by her thoughts and duty, which proves to be difficult to gain her attention without an arrow sent your way. She shows great discomfort in conversing with strangers and the discomfort is expressed in a plethora of ways, ranging from sneaking away or scratching at her skin as she speaks, to flat out ignoring people, often unintentionally rubbing off as distant to the people around her.

When she does speak, Shizuka is truthful as she finds great difficulty and disgust in lying, leading her to sometimes be described as 'brutally honest'. Her words can often be quite harsh and pierce a person’s feelings, though she rarely means harm when she speaks unless the encounter is hostile. Should anyone visiting Chinju Forest pose a threat to its inhabitants and nature, Shizuka is quick to pick up her weapon and eliminate them without hesitation in burning rage. Getting to know her is nearly impossible, partly due to her ailment and her refusal to stray away from her duty, however once a person has gotten though her seemingly thick shell, they often find she is much more than what is presented.

By a few close friends, Shizuka has been described as thoughtful, appearing to always be aware of the needs and wanted of those around her, and often willing to give up her own comfort and need for the sake of her friends. She is greatly loyal to a select few people, willing to risk injury and life for their sake if Fate calls for it. For a lengthy time, this loyalty had been directed towards her family, but recently her kindness has been known to have no bounds, her heart reaching out to even the smallest of creatures and people in despair with sincere comfort. For her, it is a sacred duty to care and protect the innocence of life.

Character Details

One could always trust for the arrows that come for the evildoers should you ever call for the blind Guardian. But despite such praise for her diligent protection, she is never seen nor heard except for the chimes of the Forest's voice that echo through her footsteps.

Vision

》 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀

For majority of her life, Shizuka's wardrobe has been foraged and stolen from the laundry of Konda Village's wives by the creatures that cared for her. It was until Yae Miko offered Shizuka a spare shrine maiden uniform tailored to the latter's liking in exchange that she inhibits from attacking people visiting Chinju Forest.

From the moment of her birth, Shizuka was unable to decipher the faces of people with her eyes and familiarize them in her mind. Due to this, she had to depend on hair color, voice, clothing, and unique habitual behavior to recognize a person -- however, it isn't full proof as often she could confuse people for someone else. Following from an aftermath when she was twelve, her vision has worsened due to the scars on her face.

She has a particular fondness for Mizu Yokan, a dessert she was introduced to by a kind couple when she was ten years old. While she does enjoy many aspects of Inazuman cuisine, mizu yokan is perhaps the only dessert she'll ever eat due to the memories of her once happy adoptive parents.

On rare occasions does Shizuka leave Chinju Forest alone in the hands of Ioroi because of the latter's persuasion. However, she only goes to visit "Otou-san" and spend time with him as she doesn't see the need to overindulge herself in Inazuman culture. While she does have to ask for directions to where the old man is staying, it is the very few things she particularly enjoys outside of her duty.

Love it when my ocs develop themselves. One of them will come up to me out of nowhere like „Yo I like cake.“ and I’m like alright cool I’ll make sure to add that to your character information

The sudden urge to send a letter from my twstsona to a certain someone because of a certain prompt is tempting but idk if i can do it justice atm

The more I write this snippet part 2 with Chao, the more I wonder if I'm going to need holy water because the words I'm putting in there is making me feel a certain way 🏃💨

Why is KOSA not trending? This bill aims to take down fandom related sites INCLUDING TUMBLR!!!?? Like we need to get this to #1 on trending and FAST! Please reblog posts on the tags with more resources and spread the word people, this is actually terrifying!!!

Also it doesn’t even end with KOSA, the Earn It Act and many more censorship bills are trying to slip through our legislature and I haven’t seen many people talk about it!

Remember everyone, this isn’t about “protecting children,” because if it was they’d go after actual R34 sites instead of queer people trying to live their damn lives!

Fight for the Future

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr
