My entire life has been derailed and all the stuff I was working on has been replaced with a rewatch of hlvrai in preparation for this

I’m excited to see the translations and breakdowns of that half time show. But you know it’s good protest art for a white girl like me who doesn’t speak a lick of Spanish to know exactly what that was. I’m kinda blown away by that.

I was too lazy to add the names to spell checker lmao. I didn't write MD because posting to AO3 requires HTML. I use MD all the time and vim's MD support is really nice for that, but for stuff going out on AO3 it needs to be HTML. And I'd rather do the HTML here instead of on AO3 before posting

Dammit I caught the Sandbina brain worms fully I think. It’s a “write an entire outline and first chapter of a fic in one night” sort of night

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

I'll probably keep writing in Obsidian, but I might honestly start using vim as a tool for formatting the html before posting it onto ao3 so I don't have to deal with wrestling with formatting anymore. It should also make doing footnotes for Spider Lilies easier lmao.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

When I posted last night, I copy and pasted what I had into ao3, and quickly realized that I didn't have any <p> tags, so it all formatted into one big block. But with Vim macros, a tedious thing that would have taken quite a while took like a minute max to do.

Here's what it looks like to write an entire fanfiction in neovim. The spellchecker really didn't like their names lol. Do I recommend doing this? No. Did Neovim's built in functionality help writing the HTML tags way easier and more convenient? Very much yes.

Good lord Sandbina fans are crazy, this is by far the best ratios any of my fics have done. And this was a half-effort one shot!

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

It was really good! I can see why it was considered a fan favorite quest for quite a while (I guess until the newest quest?), that was a huge jump in quality really suddenly. Hope to see that sort of stuff more going forward.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

I guess if people are coming back to here, it's a good time to say I'm currently working on a fic about #HuTao. If you're normal about Hu Tao like me you should check it out I'm rather proud of it so far Chapter 5 is in the works right now so 👀 Link: archiveofourown.org/works/714048...

Walked away from the record store with like $200 of vinyl and now I’m listening my way through it, half playing warframe half writing. This is what my break between semesters is supposed to be, it’s wonderful

Well I have been brain rotted by Hu Tao once again, so here's the first chapter of my fic where I get to brainrot about her and just dump all my head canons about her. Enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/714048...

Cao Xueqin in general is just this really mysterious person that we have very little info on, but the nature of Red Chamber begs for it to bed in context of his life, so it’s this really neat and mysterious dynamic for a novel.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Finally decided to bite the bullet and start reading Dream of the Red Chamber, a book I’ve wanted to read for a while. The fact that nobody knew who wrote the novel for YEARS even tho the author mentions himself BY NAME in a fourth wall break in the first chapter is so cool.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

I could reasonably see it being a mix of all three of those actually. I could see a little autistic child having texture/flavor issues with cake (literally me) and other foods fed to the kids. Mix that with her spawning in as slightly younger than Clervie, and you've got the size difference

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Unless it was self-imposed on Peruere’s part, I don’t see any reason why she would be malnourished. For as terrible as Crucabena was, she would have fed her children so as to make them the strongest they could be. So imma go with she was just older which is still neato

Riot forgets about Taliyah so hard they forget to put details of her nerfs in the patch notes.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Oh yeah I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried lol. If they fuck this up I'm going to be so mad considering what this game is seemingly standing for, but I'm excited regardless.

010 1

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

This is why I've been so excited for this game because just from the trailers you can tell this is what it's about. Horror that channels rage like this is always so vicious and evocative, and I'm so excited to see it represented in a series like Silent Hill.

Also this is the first time in so long I've been this invested in a het ship which is saying something. Xayah and Rakan destroy me lol

I just watched the "Everything Goes On" music video for the first time in quite a while, and I teared up so hard to it which doesn't usually happen. I have developed such an attachment to these fuckers after writing them so much. I love this AU so much I wish riot didn't abandon it like they did

can't sleep because I'm on too high of a dose of my adhd meds so I'm just outlining like four or five chapters ahead of Into the Endless Night lol

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

To this day, this is what I consider my best and most powerful writing. This is my love letter to writing, my grandfather, and the fandom I love. And it’s angsty as hell!

My mother was surprised and somewhat unsettled by how Jinu’s voice was sometimes higher than Rumi’s which is funny.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Just got my parents to watch kpdh, and they “liked it more than they expected to” which is exactly what I knew they were going to say lmao. A lot of the metaphors didn’t land for them but they’re a middle aged white suburban couple, I’m not surprised.

More Taleeko shenaniganry! (And some plot as well <3). Enjoy this chapter that serves as transition to the next act of this fic! (That's right we're just getting started hehehehe) #Taliyah #Neeko Link: archiveofourown.org/works/601146...

The fact that they’re giving a completely different Demacian champ a visual update before we get any info on Shyv is just so insulting to the folks that wanted her rework. It’s like Riot knows what they’re doing and intentionally rubbing salt into the wound

“I’m done hiding now I’m shining like I’m born to be” is the most trans line in existence, you cannot change my mind.

Side note yes I'm back to writing finally, need a little something to destress from the shitty ass week I've had

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Best part about writing in the Star Guardians universe is the random ass dynamics I get to write. Xayah is totally the kind of person that would forget about someone's disability but not in like a rude way.

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

Really, writing like this requires a lot of experimenting. Throwing stuff onto the page, seeing if it works, and then iterating. Take notes from other authors that write similar works if you can too, because if they've done it, there's no harm it learning from them. Love the idea tho! Best of luck

040 4

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

Something I have done (which I stole wholesale from Faulkner) is using sentences in italics to denote the shift. Faulkner uses it to either shift between narrator or the time a scene takes place, depending on the work. So my head defaults to possibly using something similar. But there are other ways

120 2

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

One reason this concept in particular might come off as "amateurish" is the fact that a sudden shift in POV mid narration would cause a lot of confusion. Kind of like how amateur writers shift tense suddenly. So I would come up with additional ways of signaling that the shift is intentional.

130 3

Esther @laebrumme.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

One thing I've found with experimental writing is that, to avoid the "amateurish writing" thing, you've gotta really lean into the intentionality of it all. Really make sure that the form of the writing demarcates the intentional as clearly as possible.
