Tucker Asking The Question Sometimes, I Wonder How I Taste But Instead Of The Joke Being Mis-matched

Tucker asking the question “Sometimes, I wonder how I taste…” but instead of the joke being mis-matched ideas about biting or kissing, Caboose answers without any hesitation- “Mint. You’d taste like mint. And I’d taste like blueberry!”. After processing that, Tucker figures out what Caboose means-

Tucker; Wait- do you think we have like, candy flavors? That match our armor colors?

Caboose; NO TUCKER, gosh, it’s more complex than that! I’m like blueberry and banana and coconut, and YOU are mint with dark chocolate and strawberry… which is gross, but you like strawberries, so that suits you

Tucker; Ohhhh… you’re like, describing what flavors our PERSONALITIES have. Like how our vibes would taste

Caboose; Obviously! Why, what did you think I was talking about?

Tucker; I don’t know man, I just know I was talking about PHYSICAL tatse, like my actual body-

Caboose; EW. That’s gross. You’re gross, Tucker. Just like strawberries

Tucker; What do YOU know, you burn popcorn on purpose because you like crunching little charcoal chunks!

…

Tucker; OK, dang it, now I’m curious… what kind of flavor-vibes do the others have?

Caboose; Like who?

Tucker; Uh, start with the Reds?

Caboose; Well, Simmons is cinnamon, because that’s just his name, but he’s also cranberry and oranges

Tucker; Wait, Grif isn’t oranges?

Caboose; No, he’s just one orange, but his flavor is caramel and milk chocolate and peanutbutter. Donut is cherries and peach and vanilla. Sarge is also strawberry, plus raspberry and apples. Lopez is almonds and apricot and and vanilla

Tucker; That… wasn’t as weird as I thought it was gonna be. OK, now do Doc and Locus

Caboose; Doc is figs and ginger, but O’Malley is plums and hazelnuts. Locus is walnuts and pears and mint

Tucker; Alright, finish it up with the rest of our guys

Caboose; Wash is apples and maple and Vanilla. Carolina is lemon and mint and hazelnut. Kai is cherries and milk chocolate and and banana. Tex is dark chocolate and blackberries and pomegranate. Church is lemon and kiwi and mint and rosemary and almonds

Tucker; What the heck, why does Church get the most fancy flavor?

Caboose; Because he’s CHURCH!

50 tips for (fanfic) writing

have fun

write whatever is interesting to you, even if it won’t be interesting to anyone else

appreciate kudos when they come, but don’t expect them

appreciate comments when they come, but don’t expect them

if you wish you could just write that one scene you have in your head, do that. you don’t need to create a 30K backstory for it first.

embrace one shots

embrace drabbles

embrace writing your story out of order

rough drafts are meant to be rough. if you can’t think of a word, put in a placeholder for it and keep going. 

try not to get stuck on the little things

it’s okay if your readers can’t see the picture inside of your head

some people work well when they have a posting schedule. some people work well when they don’t. it’s okay if you don’t know which kind of person you are, and it’s okay if the type of person you are changes over time.

if a rule you created for yourself isn’t working for you, get rid of that rule.

make fandom friends. even if they don’t read your fic, they’ll cheer you on while you write it.

cheer on other writers you know. you’ll be cheering yourself at the same time.

no trope or genre is better or worse than another one. they all just appeal to different audiences.

quality and popularity are not the same thing, although they do sometimes overlap

numbers and statistics will never tell you whether or not you’re a good writer. they will never tell you how valuable you are as a person. 

you belong in fandom if you want to be there

you’re a writer as soon as you start writing things

writing and posting are two different things. your story is still worth writing, even if you never plan to share it

you don’t need to apologize for what you write or what you post. 

don’t worry about taking up too much space. the internet doesn’t have a maximum size. 

keep your readers in mind when you’re tagging your content. how could they search for your fic? if you use a tag, will be a reader who loves that tag be satisfied with how much it appears in your story?

if you have a relationship in your fic that plays a minor role, tag it in the Additional Tags section instead of the Relationship section so that people who love that ship don’t get their hopes up

be cautious when looking at bookmarks on your fic. they aren’t “extra comments.” that’s a space where readers make notes for themselves and each other, not for authors. 

you don’t need to know everything about canon before you start writing fic

you don’t need to read fic in the same fandoms you write for

you don’t need to read fic at all in order to write it

love your work because sometimes you’re the only one who will - and that’s okay

if your hobby starts feeling like a job, you might need to take a break before you get burnt out

if you get stuck on a story, you can always start a new one

if you fall out of love with a story, you can always stop writing it. if you’re worried about your readers, you can always give them a bullet point summary of where you were planning to go with thing. for a lot of people, that’s satisfying and provides closure

if you get hate, report it

use the tools at your disposal to block hate before it can come in (limiting or turning off comments, limiting or turning off asks, blocking users, etc)

try replying to comments sometimes. it can be a lovely way to make fandom friends

don’t be afraid to reblog your own writing posts.

if you get stuck on your summary, just write 1) who the story is about 2) what they are doing and 3) what problem gets in their way

notice when your writing makes you smile. that moment is a gift. enjoy it.

notice when your writing makes you cry. that moment is a gift, too.

even if you’re disappointed in how your story turned out, there’s something in there that’s fantastic. find that thing and focus on it and feel proud.

some ideas are ones you want to write. some are ones you want to read. if you ever have too many ideas to deal with at once, give some of the latter ones away to someone else. 

sometimes the things you write will be really personal. be careful about putting them where other people can comment. they won’t know how personal it is for you, and you need to remember that comments aren’t about you, they’re about the story.

remember that you can write series as well as stories. if the story is done but you still have passion or ideas, start a new one in the same universe.

enjoy the satisfaction of finishing a story. savour it. bask in it a little while.

don’t feel guilty about abandoning a story. not every story gets finished, and that’s okay

you can have separate accounts for different fandoms. you can have one account with a million fandoms in it. do whatever works for you.

sometimes writing is more important than sleep - but only sometimes

it doesn’t matter if that story has been written before by someone else. it doesn’t matter if it was written by you. write it again.

only follow the advice that makes sense to you. the rest isn’t important.

I just remembered I have the fucking ability to draw whatever I want.. So..

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.” 

The next part of Black Hair In Depth will feature styles and ideas for designing characters and I will release it around February. If you would like to see certain styles, please shoot me a message!
