Something I always forget is that Raven/Summer/Taiyang being poly isn’t a common belief/canon so I’ll see some take about either STRQ, young Yang and Ruby or Taiyang and relationships that like talks about him getting with summer as like a rebound or something, or like that Ruby wouldn’t exist if Raven didn’t leave. And so I’ll just stare confused for a minute before remembering that that’s right that’s not canon. It’s probably the only thing I do that with too. So it’s always a surprise.

I’ve been a bit distracted from writing by super robot wars Y (great game, it’s my first srw and I’m having a blast) but there’s this super funny scene with Relena, Lacus, Allenby and Kallen and Relena and Lacus have these pining lines about Heero and Kira and then Allenby makes a joke about how she and Kallen don’t have people like that, and Kallen just tells her to focus. But then literally the next scene is Kallen pining about how is this the world Lelouch died for and every second attack line is some variation on “this is for lelouch” it’s made me crack up a little every time I use Kallen.

A Mother’s Plea: Help Us Survive and Protect My Unborn Child

My name is Sahar. Like any young woman, I dreamed of a stable and happy life. I was engaged to Mohammad, and together, we dreamed of building a warm little home where we could start our life. We spent years preparing our house, but just before our wedding, everything was destroyed in an instant by the war.

I was faced with a choice: to leave Mohammad in the midst of this chaos or to stand by him and begin our journey together, no matter how difficult it might be. I chose him. We got married, not in the dream wedding I had envisioned, but under the harsh reality of war. Our new home became a fragile tent, offering neither comfort nor security.

Today, I am seven months pregnant and living in constant fear for my unborn daughter. I am terrified of the world she will be born into—a world of poverty, hunger, and freezing cold. We’ve been displaced over nine times, carrying nothing but the weight of loss and the hope for survival. The house we dreamed of is now rubble, and the tent we live in barely shields us from the rain and cold.

How will I protect my daughter? We struggle to find enough food. Basic necessities like milk, blankets, and clothing feel impossibly out of reach. The cost of survival has become unbearable. Every night, I am haunted by the thought: how can I bring her into this world, knowing I cannot keep her safe?

I write to you with a heavy heart, pleading for help. I don’t ask for much, just the chance to give my daughter a safe beginning, a life with warmth and dignity. Every small donation can be a lifeline for us, and even sharing our story can make a difference. Please, help us survive this storm and rebuild our shattered lives.

To donate or support us, here is the link

From the depths of my heart, thank you for your kindness and compassion🥹❤️🙏

Happy bisexual visibility month to my new favourite red haired bisexual Gundam pilot

[jackattack20writes]

In a similar vein to my post the other day about how Amuro having a talk with Nyaan would just fit into GQuuuuuuX. Him being the project lead for the GQuuuuuuX would explain why they need a haro to first start up the omega Psycommu. Like from jump that was an “oh my god amuro’s gonna have made it” thing especially when it happened again with Nyaan, and yet it’s just never remarked on. Even though with the three pilots of the GQuuuuuuX we very clearly see that Haro is essential for the first activation and sync with a pilot. But if Amuro was making this super powerful reality bending Gundam with pieces from another reality while his wife/just friend was planning to take over Zeon, well it makes sense he’d add in a secret second qualifier for the psycommu systems. Especially one as weird as a Haro.

I wrote a small RWBY fic inspired by this post I saw a couple weeks ago.

It’s just a small cute fluffy thing intended as pre-relationship Ladybug but can also just be read as platonic Ruby & Blake. I hope anyone that checks it out enjoys!

I’m catching up to the Toilet-Bound Hanako Kun anime and damn they’re really hammering home the mirror of Mitsuba/Kou to Hanako/Nene. Like yeah the manga was pretty blatant already but the anime playing their promises to save them in the fake world over the top of each-other is just going the extra mile.

[jackattack20writes]

I was sketching out ideas for my GQuuuuuuX Saylamuro fic and I think I might’ve come up with a scene that allows for Nyaan to better display her motivations post episode 7, although it does require Amuro to both be with Sayla and have been working on the GQuuuuuuX/GFred to work properly. So what I was thinking is Nyaan’s gone to the GFred’s cage to just stare at cause of nerves or whatever, timeline wise it’s between the end of ep 8 and the launching of Yogman’tho so Nyaan both knows about Machu stealing the GQuuuuuuX and that Yogman’tho could be her ticket to saving Shuji. And so Amuro has a new type feeling he needed to check the GFred and runs into Nyaan, they have a short chat that’s mostly Amuro talking until he’s like “Hey you’re a kid who shouldn’t be doing this I can get you out and to your friend.” Cause both sayla’s got the connections we know about from the end of the series so he knows about Machu stealing it again and everything with Nyaan and Kycilia and Nyaan would consider but refuse with something like, “No there’s something I need to do before I can go back to her.” And Amuro’s like “Ok if you’re really sure.” And then leaves Nyaan alone again but more resolved to ‘fix everything’.

So I was thinking this worked well because it shows that both yeah Nyaan is swept up in everything and just trying to survive but also it shows more definitively how she feels she needs to save Shuji before she can go back to Machu and more clearly sets up the final confession in ep 12 by showing her saying something similar albeit much more restrained. Also it sets up the idea that Sayla reclaiming Artesia as the replacement for the Zabis with Amuro saying he can get Nyaan out if she wanted.

So I dunno if that really would fix it for people or if it’s actually any good? It’s just an idea I had that both addressed a lot of the criticism I’d seen and keep seeing about Nyaan while also planting the seeds for Sayla and giving us GQuuuuuuX Amuro and also not changing anything massively. And like yes I know it’d need to replace something and I was thinking like maybe just compress ep 2 a bit and move the second flashback to ep 2 and stick this after Nyaan hears about Machu’s escape.

This pain will end one day, and I believe in that. We are going through great hardships, but hope has always been in my heart. The freedom for Palestine is now closer than ever🥹🇵🇸

I rewatched the shining beacon part 2 to double check some things for a fic idea I had and I’ve never actually realised just how wild the conversation between Blake and Ruby is. Like Yang the “sociable” sister just completely falls flat in trying to talk to Blake but immediately after Ruby the girl who goes on about how bad with people she is, effortlessly connects to Blake within like 4 words, almost gets her to smile and breaks through the traumatised angst with her sheer positivity and until Yang enters embarrassing older sister mode and causes Weiss to come over they’re actually looking like they’ll have a decent chat. Every other time I’ve watched it I’d never realised just how good the two of them got on, which does make sense, it’s very subtle compared to every other relationship between the main four girls. Also gives me an urge to write a fic where Blake ended up Ruby’s partner. But it also makes me sad they never really expanded on it with any of the other volumes. Like sure we have Blake and Ruby’s relationship which is very good but it’s sad the shared love of books and reading is only really used for jokes in chibi.

Ruby and Blake should have a book club in Volume 10!

Fic asks 6 and 18 ✌️

First of all thanks a bunch for asking @torterrachampion ,

For 6 usually it’s at the end, I’ll spend ages after I’ve actually finished something trying to think of the title often by perusing my music library for inspiration. Sometimes though they come to me before that, for instance my Izuku/Denki one shot was always gonna be called some variation of Five times Denki gave Izuku a nickname and my WhiteRose medieval fic was always That Time Ruby Won a Wife in a Joust. Sometimes for my multichapter’s I’ll also have planned titles in advance for when certain parts of the story happen, like I’ve got I Only Wear Black and Komm Susser Todd saved up for a chapter in one of my spider-man and my RWBY vampire fic but yeah most of the time it’s at the very end.

For 18 that’s a bit trickier, like romance is probably the most blatant but I guess to narrow it down a bit probably aspects of forbidden romance. Like I really enjoy writing when characters have every reason to avoid or stop but can’t help themselves from pushing forward. And that expresses itself in different ways from fic to fic, like I’ve done vampire/vampire hunter, I’ve got a fair few Royal/commoner wips, immortal/mortal, the specific strangeness of my Spider-man fics. Also parental conflict is a big one, I’ve injected that all over the place, the family dynamics of my RWBY vampire fic, Ichigo with his family in my babysitting fics, and some of the wips I have also deal with it a decent amount.

So yeah hopefully that was enough detail and thanks heaps again for asking :)

✍️ yet another list of fic writer asks

You all seem to like these, so here is another batch of writer asks! These questions are a little more relaxed than the last two. Followers can send an ask with a number OR you can reblog and answer everything like a Q&A. I always see a lot of “idk if i’m a writer” in the tags for these so let me just say in advance, yes you are and you can play.

What is the crackiest* thing you’ve ever written? (*I mean this with great affection)

Has writing a fic ever changed your opinion of a character?

It’s a lovely morning in fandom land and a horrible goose is running rampant through your folders. How many WIPs is it going to step on?

What’s the story behind your pen name?

Without getting into any discourse, just thinking as a writer approaching characters, would you ever write about your NOTP? If you did, do you think that would change how you feel about it? (If you’ve done this, how did it go?)

Do you have a fixed writing routine, or do you write when you have time? Is there a time of day when you prefer to write?

What is your #1 distraction when you’re trying to write? If it’s a pet, post a pic

What colors, sights, sounds, textures, etc. inspire you? Do certain environments make you feel more creative than others?

Someone you know outside of fandom has heard that you’re a writer. “I’d like to read something of yours!” they say with sincere enthusiasm. “Where can I find it?” What’s your answer?

Do you have a routine you run through before you write?

Share a random sentence from a WIP. The less context, the better. Be confusing.

You’re out and about, nowhere near your home, when a fantastic story idea pops into your head! What do you do?

Have you ever actually remembered one of those 3am “I’ll remember it in the morning” ideas?

Finish this sentence with your fandom’s variation(s): No beta, we die like _________

My kawai Rukia darling

[jackattack20writes]

Saw people on twitter talking about this anime called vampire knight. I forgot about it for a bit till I eventually see it and go “oh that’s right that seemed cool.” I put it on. The cold open of ep1’s pretty cool but then the opening starts and I am hit by a fucking jackhammer to the nostalgia centre of my brain. I had no fucking clue how I recognised this opening or these characters but I was still being hit by the equivalent of 20 bajillion nostalgia nukes.

So I googled whether it had aired on foxtel or something in Australia, turns out ABC3 played vampire anime at 8pm back in 2011. I have no clue what it’s about or any actual details of the plot or characters but god damn did the opening set off the nostalgia.

[jackattack20writes]

So since people are enjoying my insane WDKALY rambling I just thought I’d bring back my insane WDKALY fic incase anyone wants to read it for the first time or reread it :)
