Anyone have some pointers on how to beat writer's block?

Just from my own experience, I would make sure first that what you're experiencing is writer's block and not burnout and reflect on it a bit. I think there are some similarities and crossovers and one can definitely lead into the other but if you're having burnout, I've found that forcing it isn't going to be helpful. You may "push through" but you may find yourself slipping right back into writer's block or feeling like none of your writing is adequate or making you happy, etc.

Sometimes you may just need a good break and it can be a good opportunity to dive into other hobbies or do some relaxation (easier said than done if you're anything like me haha).

If it's something you feel is more related to just plain 'ole writer's block and maybe lacking in inspiration or muse for example, then there are a couple of things I do. For one, I go back to some of my favorite comfort movies, shows, music videos, or books. Things that really get my brain juices flowing and help me find things to be inspired to write about.

Another thing is sometimes doing a heavy dive into a topic you really like to research or maybe you want to research (animals... space... the lore for a favorite fantasy book... myths... etc) and bounce off that to help push through or inspire yourself.

If it's rp-related, I almost always can get over my writer's block by plotting with someone. Typically a close friend. Seeing someone else get hyped with me and planning out ✨ drama ✨ will get my muse going.

Journaling is also helpful for me sometimes cause it's at least me writing still and flexing those familiar muscles and often it's easier to write about yourself and your own thoughts rather than getting into the mind of a character.

Of course this is all just my own opinion and stuff and I know it doesn't work for everyone! I wish you the best of luck in getting through it though, I know how frustrating it can be—especially when you want to write.

I know this has been asked before but I kept forgetting and can't find the answers. Are there any good randomizers for like profile hovers? I'd used randimg in the past but it doesn't really work anymore. It's always having issues.

I upload mine to gifyu and then move the image links to grumpybumpers. I know gifyu does have one built in like ace mentioned but to be honest, I've never used it. Largely because I've been using grumpybumpers before I found gifyu back when I used imgbb and then postimages before that. I like that I can make unique logins for each of my characters with grumpybumbers so I can change the images out easily and stuff.

got to see porter robinson live finally and it was fucking awesome. he performed all of the songs i wanted to see, too! genuinely a great time.

snipped for length

I completely agree and sympathize with you.

This is why I've opted to make all of my personal projects moving forward semi-private. My friends are welcome. Friends of my friends are welcome, and so on, because it avoids me from having to deal with people who think like that. It encourages the collaborativeness of people to communicate and work together to help expand upon the world that was initially created.

And if for some reason someone gets invited in who is toxic/not following the rules? Boom. They're gone. I'm not putting up with that shit anymore. I already have to do customer service for my job, I don't want to do it for my hobby too.

Definitely +1ing the word Architect.

Kuroya thank you for your post, i was heavily debating just tagging you in the post originally LMAO 

but ever since nickpic was shut down, and esp with how it was shut down, i've been wanting to think of a back up means to store my shit and jcink might be a good solution without having to spend a lot of $$$$. 

I just wanted to let you know that John has said before he will delete image-hosting only sites. So I would be careful if you decide to make a site just to host images! (Old thread but here's an example of one that I've managed to find where he discusses it: [ click here ].)

Just wouldn't want you to go through uploading all your images only to have the site deleted.

Nothing feels more satisfying than writing your dumb lil character with your other friends' dumb lil character and you get to watch as they both grow and develop together and their relationship transforms into a natural ship and the ship finally sails. That's a fucking win. So proud of them :') #aaminoch #melryll #falonty #takka #cirilix #braxi

i love u. ;w;

i love u too -`♡´-

pets deserve to live forever in perfect health conditions.
going to miss our wrinkly burrito girl.

when your friend catches a WHIFF that something might be wrong and they reach out and they validate your feelings and make you feel all fuzzy and warm inside.

anytime i leave the house lately

happy thankmas
