Two Cents - Tumblr Posts
Well if you want to read this or that I go into further detail but the long story short is I accidentally pigeonholed myself into the headcanon that all Irkens smell like bitter almonds, loosely based on real bug science.
Zim, specifically? Probably the same but masked under a vaguely chemical-solvent kind of smell, due to the bathing in paste and exploding fairly often thing.
what do u think Zim would smell like
1 of mah friendz said that he would smell like a bug, another 1 of my fri3ndz says trash, another sayz chicken
the brainrot persists
hes just obsessed with his wife
Got himself such a catch.
I'm posting it so I don't lose it. This is also a little piece from a bigger project too.
By the way happy international clown week !!
I doubt we will see anything from JM&JK’s time in the US
Maybe this take will age poorly. Part of me hopes it does and that we get an insta post from JM or something, but I’m honestly not expecting much. I’m not expecting anything obvious like a vlog or GCF NY. I know they were being filmed and had GoPros and everything, but with MS looming around the corner, I doubt we will get much footage of their trip. Maybe it will be released at a later date, but my senses are heightened from the weird comment during the GMA interview where Jimin’s whereabouts in NYC was asked about, and JK seemed kinda blindsided. They still need to be careful. Just my two cents.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TWO CENTS, I REALLY NEEDED IT
Yeah! I think it's the tunnel vision we get sometimes, because I'll look back at my story and think "I actually did a pretty good job." It's also how we don't get immediate gratification in writing like we're used to.
We have to spend hours over a single project, creating and raising it, and it's scary both posting it and also not receiving an immediate "good job!" because that's not how it works. But at the same time, it's so, so rewarding.
The fact that I'm my first target audience hit me hard. It's true-I have to enjoy what I write because I do write for myself first, while also thinking of others.
i'm telling you this because i'm struggling with it, too.
stop second guessing and doubting yourself. stop getting imposter syndrome while writing. stop comparing.
i know it's hard to stop, and this is a process i always struggle with. but it's awful when you get tunnel vision, seeing all the plot holes and every little grammatical error made. i open my wip's sometimes, and get such bad anxiety that i can't even write, because i'm so scared. it literally doesn't make sense, but it happens.
but learn to love what you write. grow attached to your characters, and write whatever you want. write for yourself first. and no matter what, whether it's one word or sentence that you wrote that day, be proud of yourself.
self validation and self care comes before a completed novel or mesmerizing characters.

yes !! please interact with all of us, we'd love to have you here. and it's so true- a simple ask or a "this sounds interesting" or even a like on our writing just makes everything so worth it.
i'm so happy for you! <3
writing is lonely
it's true, being an author is lonely. you're stuck-and not in a bad way-in your own world and with your own characters, and it's like you either want to bottle your precious gem up inside or tell the whole world about it.
but reaching out to other authors-and possibly fellow readers!-takes time and effort. don't be scared to promote your works, or tell others about your wip's. we're all in the same boat here, and doing so makes writing a little less lonely. ♥️
plus, we all reply :)
i finished this yesterday and forgot to post it 🏳️🌈👌
