Twittering birds never fly... or do they?



I have an endless fascination with dimensional travel through stories.

Manifesto

This is my online home. It's a queer little corner of the internet full of my favorite pop-culture characters holding hands, cuddling and kissing (regardless of gender and other bourgeois social constructs) for fun.
Also, I've been suffering from ADHD, depression and severe social anxiety for more years than I could count so please be nice if somehow for some goddamn reason you find this page. For the sake of the remnants of my mental health I may share some ramblings about my daily life and frustrations here too, besides writings and translations (my main gig, tho the last decade wasn't very nice... I'm slow and erratic creation-wise.)

Is that your soul peeking out...?

"Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language."

—Lev Grossman, TIME, July 18, 2011

A songfic with hopeful depression...?

laraflame: (Invited To Suffer)

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 [tumblr.com profile] 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.
