We have a fanfiction unit in English.
My teacher mentioned Minecraft fanfiction.
A girl in my class was like “what does that mean…like digging a hole?”
My teacher pulled up examples.
JULIET THAT BITCH MOTHERFUCKER POINTED OUT TCR
SHE READ THE FIRST CHAPTER TO THE CLASS
I’m wearing my TommyInnit hoodie and I just had to speak in front of my grade and these freshmen (9th grade; I’m in 12th) came up to me after and went “are you a dream stan?” and I went “I think you’re illiterate.” in the most deadpan, unimpressed voice

This girl at school accidentally made chloroform in the chem lab while I was helping clean up and OH BOY it does not work like it does in the movies because 4-5 breaths from a rag soaked in it won’t just knock you out; it’ll KILL you
One of my favorite tropes is when two characters are arguing and one accidentally reveals something in a fit of anger and the other character goes “What?”
Do you think I could write a college essay on how this one time I wrote a Minecraft fanfic and three hundred thousand people saw it and dozens made fanart and it’s a tag on TikTok and people have cosplayed it and it’s helped me grow up and helped me get over my own trauma
Am I the asshole for killing 3271 children?
for context, I, 45M, run a boarding school on a planet with 3273 children. To be honest, I am training child soldiers, but it's for the greater good.
The Starbucks barista told me “we missed you and your gf over the holidays” and I went “🧍🏻♀️ Huh” and they said “well you didn’t have school so you didn’t come every day at 6am to get your cinnamon mocha with 6 shots of expresso and your girlfriends’ caffe latte”
I’m embarrassed.
they tried to make fun of me more but I just stared at them with no expression and then my scary dog girlfriend came up behind me and she’s taller than all of them and looks pretty menacing with alt makeup
they left lmfao
TCR deleted scene that I found in my notes:
Drista: so, hypothetically, purpled, if you had to choose between—
Purpled: Tommy.
Drista: I didn’t even say who was in this situation. I didn’t even say what the situation WAS.
Purpled: okay, so tell me.
I was crying so hard I ran outside to look at the stars.
I must’ve stood there for 30 seconds when I saw a shooting star streak across the sky.
I like to think that was a sign that he’s in a better place now.
for those of you who were talking about a book copy of the Children's Rebellion, here's a cover by @/Kazuallyy that was commissioned by @/Bubussaura
my reaction was "Holy fuck" (I stand by it because this is beautiful)
Me: *clicks on a 50k fanfic*
Authors notes: Hey, sorry for any spelling errors/inconsistencies; English is my second language and this is my first fanfic written in English—
Me: oh, this is about to be goood
My mother just paid me $50 to edit 3 paragraphs for a review she's doing--I finished it in five minutes and sent it back to her with the edits and she handed me the money and I was like "wtf why are you paying me" and she goes "well you can't just write for free"
...sorry mother
there was a TommyInnit hater sitting behind me in class and I was keen to leave him alone but then he complained that Tommy was an “average white boy” and I whipped around to look at this guy…
…who is Caucasian, has blonde hair, and has blue eyes.
He needs to find a mirror.
we were talking about adjectives vs verbs in descriptions and my teacher went “Aria what’s an adjective that describes you” because she was calling me out for being on my phone texting Juliet in class
AND I SAID FRUITY
I FUCKING LOOKED UP. PANICKED. SAID FRUITY.
WHY
Did I tag Found Family in The Children's Rebellion?
Yes.
Did I tag Found Family in The Children's Revenge?
No.
No, because Tommy loses that found family. (sorry not sorry)
I had a presentation today so I was wearing a suit and the freshman were taking up the big stall in the restroom so I walked in there jangling my car keys and went “girls, exit the stall now or I will take you down to the office” and oh boy the joy I felt when they scrambled out
not me and Juliet winning “best couple” for our yearbooks’ senior superlatives 😭 our principal is homophobic and our yearbook group thought it would be a funny joke
Technoblade will never die, because he will live on within us; within our memories; our lives; our hearts, and until the last wisp of memory should pass, he will never truly be gone. He has made an impact, and impacts always last.
❤️❤️
the worst part about writing an actual book is there are copyright laws that prohibit me from writing sentences like
“So are you like Voldemort or Edward from Twilight, because I see the similarities in both of you being dead/reborn and wanting to kill me but one was of hate-“
Tommy: I’d save both of them.
Drista: you can’t save both of them.
Tommy: okay so I’d Yeet myself off the cliff save both of them and sacrifice myself.
Purpled: *bursts in* I heard someone breathe wrong.
Drista: I hate both of you.
the difference between TCR!tommy, TCR!drista, and TCR!purpled is that TCR!tommy wouldn’t ever kill people he loves because he’s lost too much, TCR!drista would do it at the end of the world, and TCR!purpled would kill like a dozen people standing in his way to save tommy.
just answered an email from my lovely English teacher, who’d had us submit a short story that we could either 1) write 2) turn in old writings, and I had to explain to this poor 47 year old woman that no, I was not plagiarizing, because yes, I wrote that.
Haha don’t you hate it when you break down sobbing in the middle of class because you got your project score back that you had to do ALL BY YOURSELF and you got a bad score because your “groupmates didn’t show up to present” and you had to present a 15 minute presentation
that moment when the fire alarm is pulled and you have no clue if you’re walking to the football field to get shot up because 🇺🇸america🇺🇸so you just joke with your friends about how “at least school would be cancelled!”
I think I’m desensitized to it
Drista: okay, so two people are hanging off a cliff and you have to choose one, and—
Purpled: Tommy.
Drista: I DIDN’T EVEN SAY TOMMY WAS THERE!
Purpled: okay, who is it then?
Drista: Wilbur and Techno.
Purpled: well if they’re hanging off a cliff then clearly something has happened to Tommy. I’d go find him.
Drista: …I hate you.
~~~Later~~~
Drista: okay, Tommy, if there was a cliff and techno and Wilbur were hanging off it, who would you save?
Hey everyone, there’s a research project being run on the Importance of (Preferred) Names in Society, and there’s a survey for the LGBTQ+ portion that a friend of mine needs information on. Some of the questions are personal, so if you don’t want to fill it out, DON’T
(1/3)
WE HIT IT!
(yes, that means there will be a chapter tomorrow)
ALSO! That means for two days (for the two survivors of The Children's Rebellion) my account will be on private! I'm announcing this as NATIONAL CHILDREN'S REBELLION WEEK
Grammar tip for writing
#41
:
when you’re describing the words spoken in between quotations (i.e ‘he said, she said’) remember to add a comma at the end of your sentence in between quotations (NOT OUTSIDE) and then a LOWERCASE letter.
Example:
“Hello,” he said.
and loss and it’s helped other people who have lost people too and it’s made people laugh and cry and yell and it’s helped me and many others through quarantine, and as I grew up, so did it, and my writing got better and people waited by the whole time
my friend is writing a book and needed help naming things and apparently I’m “good at naming things” so she was like “what’s a cool gender neutral name” and I immediately went “Eris” and so now there’s a character in a book she’s planning on publishing named after my cousin.
The key to dropping subtle hints/foreshadowing is to place it inside a sentence or paragraph and then immediately changing the subject. Putting it in its own paragraph or line draws attention to it. Don’t have the characters focus on it more than a passing thought.
one of my favorite tropes is when two characters get into a huge fight and they separate and then one regrets it and goes looking and finds out the other one died before they could apologize
The Children of the Stars will be continuing. I don't know when, because Juliet and I can't bring ourselves to write (or do anything but cry, actually) but I promise you, it will.
tcr!Techno will get the happy ending he deserves. That was the plan all along, don't worry :) /srs
When I first started writing The Children’s Rebellion, one of my goals as a writer was to learn how to write scenes that weren’t just action — a feat necessary in a fic that had a common theme of recovery. I found it important to learn that trauma isn’t always (1/5)
Reasons why taking the SAT was difficult:
1. It takes place on a Saturday. At 8am. And it can be up to 3 hours away from you (mine was a 2 hour drive) so I was tired when I got there. Not to mention that “taking the SAT” is not a valid reason to miss school.
and it’s one of the proudest accomplishments I’ve made but due to the stigma behind fanfic I cannot talk about it in school or at home and I cannot say “I write fanfic” when people ask my my hobbies
today in AP gov we did the American citizenship test family feud style and I was up and the question was “what is a power the state has, not the federal government?” and I shouted ABORTION at the top of my lungs in a dead silent classroom of 35 people
my science teacher straight up stated the “political” opinion that global warming was real and this girl was like “you can’t have political opinions” in that TONE and he was like “you’re in AP biology; that’s a fact in this class. Sorry.”
I laughed my ass off
I told my dad that I needed a binder and he was like "are you coming out to me" and I was like "wut"
then he was like "Yeah I read online about the binders for your chest--"
and I was like "NO FATHER for my english class!!!" and he was like "ohhh"
“Why is your laptop so crappy Aria get a new one”
No, I got this laptop a year ago after the original was run over by my mother’s car the day before Christmas Eve and Juliet and I drove to Best Buy to get a replacement so I could post a chapter of TCR the next day
We get food from rations delivered in from nearby planets. Recently, there was a virus that broke out and we were not able to receive new food. Obviously, I could not call for aid, since the children I had been vying for still had a chance to understand what I was doing for them.
If you are the person who came up behind me in the airport when I had the plot document up of TCR and said “Is that Minecraft fanfiction?” (In a curious tone, not mean)
YOU
SAW
NOTHING
can I rant about American food?? Great.
So before Covid I was in France for a month (dad had a business trip) and I ate so much food and coffee but I ended up losing weight overall because American food is just SO BAD for you. It’s so annoying. Like why is it so unhealthy.

why can’t there be a story in which instead of the mc being tortured/held captive as a child and becoming stronger because of it, they’re pampered and ego-boosted so they’re not strong mentally OR physically and then when time comes to “fulfill the prophecy” they’re useless POS
sbi soulmate au where phil techno and wilbur think he's lying and he gets tortured to death by the other side of the war because they want to hurt the leaders of the AE and soulmate bonds convey pain
that's it that's the fic
