The name yaybahar (pronounced /jajba'har/) has Turkish origin. It is a composite of two words: yay means a "string" or a "coiled string" and bahar means the season "spring." According to Gorkem Sen, the name is derived from the idea of a new life or a new beginning. [1]
I assume this is the third one of its kind the artist has made.
I have just been doing an enormous mountain of washing-up (about five days' worth; a the hazard of bachelor living!) and vaguely thinking about possibly typing something... How is progress feeling for other people?
Question of the day: what do you do next when you have just finished a fic?
Hello, person who is assigned to me or considering making a treat! No matter what you make, I'm probably going to really like it, but I know it's much easier to come up with an idea if you've got some guidance.
Length of prompts is not related to how much I like any character or group, and more related to how much I can ramble about them off the top of my head. Also, feel free to do whatever you want. If for example, I mention wanting fluff for a character, but you have an angsty idea you really want to do, go for it!
My ao3 account and my tumblr are both wolffyluna, if you want to have a look at them to get ideas.
Notes for Pinch Hitters
Heaven Will Be Mine is a visual novel that takes about 6 hours to play through all the routes.
Sha Po Lang is a novel, that in print takes up five volumes, to give a sense of the size of it.
Vampires SMP is a multi creator youtube series, and you would only need to see one creator’s POV to have enough information to write fic. Each series is around eight episodes of 40-120 minutes long.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a computer rpg that takes about 80 hours to play.
Over the last ~week, hafnia and I went "sooooo what if we ran a multifandom remix event" and now it is up and ready for signups! We're hoping it'll be a fun time, and we'd love to have you join us. <3
Remix Through the Seasons is a quarterly, trope-based multifandom event hosted on ao3.
Participants will write one new story (between 1-5k) and then be assigned another story written for the event to remix. These stories can be in any fandom (including Original Work). Matching will be based on the stories' tropes (and creator DNWs) rather than pairings/fandoms. Remixing works from one fandom into another is allowed (even expected).
Schedule: Signups open: Now! Signups close: January 24 Assignments sent: January 31 Original works revealed: January 31 Remix works due: March 14 Remix works reveals: March 21 All author reveals: March 28 All due dates etc are at 11:59pm GMT on the listed date
(getting everything finalised involved spending a couple hours on a discord call editing the gdoc full of rules and only occasionally getting distracted talking about other things, which tbh is pretty good for how many moving parts there can be for stuff like this and how easy it can be to get sidetracked talking to your bestie. we think the rules are clear! ask questions [preferably on the comm] if they aren't! <3)
I was not very mentally well when I was younger, due to getting ass-fucked by both genetics and life circumstances, and there are two reasons that I made it past age 15. One of them is that I'm very pain-averse.
The other is fandom.
Reading fic gave me something to do besides "lie in bed and feel miserable" and "move through my life like a zombie", and it sort of helped me... unlock the ability to feel emotions? I don't know how to describe it, but I'm very much (and still am) a Robot Person, and experiencing emotions through fiction was, for a while, the only way I could actually feel things, so I dove headfirst into melodrama in order to actually have an outlet for the pain I was feeling at the time, but couldn't express.
Additionally, you know the suicide prevention strategy of "you can't kill yourself until X happens?" Yeah, that was a big thing for me. "You can't kill yourself until Eternal Summer comes out." "You can't kill yourself until Attack on Titan finishes." "You can't kill yourself until that fanfic you really like finishes." "You can't kill yourself until Hetalia stops coming out."
So, uh, thanks, fandom. Thanks for keeping me alive.
the real danger of spending too much time with friends is you stumble out of ten days of happiness and good food like oh my god THAT was real life. my job means NOTHING

yeah it makes life worthwhile. i hope you get to hang out with a bunch of people you really like for several days in a row some time soon!
i think everyone should program at least once just so you realise just how fucking stupid computers are. because theyre so fucking stupid. a computer wants to be told what to do and exactly that and if you make one typo or forget one detail it starts crying uncontrollably
If you want to stand up for transgender Canadians, then there’s a petition to ask the federal government to repeal the acts signed into law that restrict transgender medical care for transgender youth:
You need only be a resident of Canada, not a citizen to sign. Please help us give transgender youth a fighting chance. Their medical care decisions should be between the handling physician and family only. This isn’t a matter for politicians to decide.
hey, so I would he grateful if people living in Canada could sign this and if non-Canadians could signal boost, please.
The petition will be closed for signatures on February 16, 2026.

also big fan of this review. perfect for #myailments
So this is what they mean by enchanted cold resistance…
Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It’s that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it’s always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?
And if your answer to this is “less doomscrolling” or “less bedrotting” then great, but please think about why you’re doing those things. No one’s doomscrolling or bedrotting because they don’t have things they’d rather be doing. Actually, I’m willing to bet you have a lot of things you’d rather be doing and you spend your life internally screaming at yourself to do literally any one of the many things you want to be doing instead, but you don’t have the energy for them all and you can’t work out how to prioritize them, so doomscrolling spares you from making that decision. Or perhaps you’re burned out from taking on too many projects and you need to rest your brain, so you lie in bed because you don’t even have the energy to get started anymore.
This is going to be a really hard pill to swallow, but the truth is you might not be able to balance all your hobbies and all your projects the way you’d like. If you want to finish writing that book, you might have to reduce your daily drawing habit to a couple of times a week. If you want to do yoga every morning, you might have to accept not cooking from scratch as often. If you want to spend more time with your family, you might have to cut down on your yearly reading goal. I’m not saying give up on your hobbies; I’m be realistic with your time and your energy and be kind to yourself. Stop expecting yourself to do more and do better every single year. You don’t have to constantly be growing upwards and reaching for the stars; you can be content with where you are, or even cut parts of yourself back to make space for other things in your life to bloom.
Think about what your priorities are and make peace with doing less of other things. Less is okay. Less is not failing. Less is self care.

It's a very cold Monday (not a good day for my boiler to go on the blink, but I think I've successfully reset it...) Did your writing process freeze over in the course of the day, or is it flowing freely?
Question of the day: how do you handle a plot-hole if you notice one?
