For me inspiration can come from a single phrase, or a song, a smell, a strangely shaped cloud... really, that has never been a problem. Inspiration is a constant Niagara in my mind (and it has been barrelling down on it heavily, like, always). For me, writer's block, or rather the Creator's Gate as I started to call it is more about the practical step - actually making what I planned. I'm pretty sure (99.9%) that's the consequence of living in a constant state of mental illnesses battling, mild existential dread and poor RL circumstances. It is what it is. For now. It should get better sometime, right?
Right? ...

But, even in that state some inspirations come through too strongly and those are the moments I can break the barrier and actually create something. Not to sound pretentious, but usually something good. LOL


Inspirations for this piece:

a trope of major character death (of drarry) but with happy or hopeful ending from purplehotmess , one of my amazing giftees with first-class taste. Be honest here, isn't that one of the most wonderfully, heart-wrenchingly beautiful line that you ever read?
Thought so.
 
It's thanks to her I listened to this masterpiece too (which will make me grateful forever, cuz good music is usually enough for my soul to feed off of for months):


I could practically see all the pastel, dream-like visions of Drarry.
And I tried to shape them through words, too.

A gifset - or more like three gifsets and honestly, did I make these?? Holy sh*t... I remember making cute lil edits back in the day (wow, I'm getting old) but those really can't compare to what today's tech makes not just possible but easy too (not to mention the acquired experience lol). Well, I just so happen to quite like these creatures of mine, so I hope Drarry fans will find them in this endless maze of digital data, and they'll make some of you happy.

to Drarry fans - and everyone else too! Come join this lovely fest if you have the time - a highlight of the Holidays for me, even tho I only participated in it once before. Checking the amazing works under the eleven round-ups of the fest still cause me instant serotonin-boost, I sincerely recommend it. Can be a great remedy on gloomy days.

Entire years seemed to pass by me in a blur of work, erratic-bad-rare sleep and stress. Drarry feelings always bring me back to simpler, happier times. What I really want out of this Holiday season is the feeling of absolute bliss - just existing stress-free, in safety, full of wonder of the winter. Warmth.
This fest is warming up my soul even in advance.

I am working on many things right now, translations as much as fest-writings and more fics but I can hardly wait to be a part of this one too.

Sign-ups are open until the 31st ~~~
