Writer's Block: Back to the future

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Twelve, huh? I think I'd be shocked and stunned at myself. When I was twelve, I think my only knowledge of anime were the movies offered by Columbia House that carried warnings, hence freaking me out and making me think that all anime was profanity- and violence-ridden and adults-only. And oh yeah, I'm pretty sure when I was twelve I refused to give characters in stories and RPs injuries that resulted in blood. Pretty much the only things they got were really bad knocks on the head. Sometimes I still miss the more simple version of hurt/comfort, and now and then I'll write/RP a good old knock-out.

I had a long list of injuries I wouldn't ever give a character, LOL. Eventually as I got older the only things remaining on the list were burns and broken bones. I broke those rules too. Though the only bones I broke were wing bones. XD; I still refuse to break regular limbs or anything else in fics or RPs. The most I'll do is crack some ribs.

The reason for my extreme aversion to broken bones is because of the time on Sesame Street that Telly Monster broke his arm. I watched all those episodes on one of the marathons PBS did and came away with a firm vow that I would never break a character's bones in my fics/pics/etc. The whole "cast" concept is the main thing that turned me off, I think.

And yes, I know it probably looks illogical, considering what I am willing to do. As JP put it, paraphrasing, "So a broken bone isn't okay but them nearly dying is." XD;

There are some weapons I've refused to injure a character with, including the axe, but I'm about to break that rule if I go through with a creepy blurb/fic I've been musing on. Though in my defense, it's probably the only time I'll do it, and it'll not be as real as it'll look at first.

And oh yeah, when I was twelve I did not like angst. Some things are still too discouraging for me to really appreciate, but I think it's safe to say that if I saw a lot of what I write now, my mouth would drop open in shock. However, I think I'd also be proud of how much I've improved in my writing style.

The fact that I draw people almost exclusively would also be a shock; back then I drew animals exclusively and berated not being able to draw people well. Anime opened the door for me to be able to draw people in some fashion.

Also when I was twelve, I pretty much only listened to Disney music and other animated shows' music. LOL. Though I was still twelve when I discovered oldies music, which I'd casually liked before, and then next year I found Christmas music 24/7 on the radio after my oldies show went off the air, and I liked the radio personality, so I listened after Christmas and I think that's how I found that I liked a lot of recent music. So I'd probably be surprised by my current music choices, ranging from gothic rock to anime music to classical. Though I was raised on classical, I didn't actively seek it out that much.

As for how I at my current age would react to this younger me, I think I would be amused and call myself Kiddo. And say something like, "Just wait, once you get to my age these things will make sense to you. You've got a lot to look forward to." And after my twelve-year-old self got over the shock, I think I would be looking forward to unraveling the mysteries about me. Overall, between happy or disappointed, I honestly don't know what I'd think. LOL.

Oh look! It's the axe blurb I was talking about!

This is for a story I may write that will be very creepy and horrifying and Halloweeny. Thanks to Kaze for the suggestion of how Ahiru realizes what's going on. It's so wrong, but so plausible, knowing Lilie. XD; And there is nothing romantic going on between Autor and Ahiru; I want Ahiru to be with Fakir. X3 But I love Autor and Ahiru friendship.

This is a very unpolished blurb. If I ever write this fic, I hope to flesh the blurb out better.
