Small Writing Tip! #1

Viktor as a Deity?

You had it coming for ya! Arcane and Witchcraft? I'm a witch and a writer, it had to happen. I thought of something.

Since I am a witch and I am working with Lucifer, I have thought back to the times I saw people include fictional characters in their craft. And with all of the Jesus talk going on about him...

Well, I never quite understood it or had a fictional character deity pull, but now, I do, and I feel like especially with such a big fandom, the energy has collected and it would not be far off to work with him in this way.

In my case, I am speaking of S2 Herald Viktor, with a hint of end of S2 Viktor. But, as with any deity, we will not forget his past either and what has shaped him.

SO! Guys. I am making a full on document about Viktor as a deity. The Machine Herald as our own deity for actual deity work, with full on associations, own-experience specific signs, divination preferences, etc. Including candle preferences, colours, and even Stars I have picked out as a personal astronomy nerd.

As a preview, I did not stick to our solar system, apologies. If you want to know so bad.... I chose Rigel and Vega for many reasons and Lyra as the constellation association.

Let me know what you think and if I should make the doc public soon and post about my thoughts behind it! So willing to share with you.

And so far, Lucifer has been cool with this also. They seem to work together nicely.

Would you like me to make the document public by the end of this month? I do take suggestions on parts of this, too! So put in your opinions in the comments, I read and answer every one!

Peace,

Kasper

So I recently bought the collector's hardbacks for this savage song and our dark duet. I haven't read the books yet, but the descriptions, the covers, everything SO GOOD.

And yes, I looked at the last lines of each book, I'm a self-spoiler. I know, problematic but it is what it is.

These books are gorgeous and best quality. Only paid 40€ for them, too. I am amazed.

Can't wait to read!

Romanticising

Actually romanticising my life or at least certain points of it, makes it much much better. Reading, but do it with candles, a good hot chocolate, a nice surrounding: Much better. Studying but do it with good music and surroundings? Hell yeah. Taking a walk but it's in autumn and you can see the many colours swirling around your boots? Yas.

Slay life.

I would love to see a fic that takes place after the end of the series where Jayce is an amputee after breaking his leg and it being so infected. And is also suffering from PTSD and nerve damage in his back from the chainsaw.

Either trying to hide it or downplay how it affects him because he thinks it’s not valid compared to Victor’s pain or something else angsty. But when it flares up badly he can’t move or hide it anymore and Viktor takes care of him.

I love both of them but I feel like there are very few disability centric fics where Jayce’s disabilities are focused on.

I love how you bring that up! Obviously, since he only did a makeshift brace on his leg after cracking the bone into place, we can imagine it did not heal well and stayed a while.

I can do a bit of research (writing down the injuries and stuff about the pains and disabilities of it) and add it into a kind of hurt/comfort, caretaker type of story!

So Viktor is alive and there with Jayce in the hospital, then, in this fic?

I can imagine some good things with this.

If I write this soon, or whenever i do, I will post about it! Thank you!!

Lucifer is my “guardian angel“

Ok, so, about the Jayvik fic, I saw a quote from Bob Ross here on tumblr, where he was petting a little fawn and going: "This has to be one of the most gorgeous creatures God has ever made. I just want to take him home... and keep him as a pet. But that's not what he's meant to be. He's meant to be free."

And while this suggestion might be a bit unhinged (maybe? idk), I really love the idea of two people being conflicted about whether or not they should be together, because one (or both) of them feel like the other is "meant to be free", that "keeping the other" will make the other lose an important part of their self.

And just generally I think the quote has a lot of potential as a ship dynamic, even if it's more of a tragic love story.

This would be a bit more angst, sure, but also a comforting option.

I think this fandom thrives on angst. We should give it some comfort too, then, don't ya think?

I'll see what I can do! Thank you!

I so agree!! I try to be there for every author i read from and really, if you can, any interaction with me makes my day!

And to add on this, I will try to reply to everyone talking to me!

I love having somemsort of feedback!

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

Ah brb just tryna find a way to make vampires possible irl as far as it can go without body morphs/mods.

That moment when you just scroll through pinterest for character visuals and SUDDENLY there's a picture that makes you put something completely new and random into the plot, even add another person into it and question whether you're not doing too much.

woop there it is
