6 & 16 for the writing ask game :)

Thanks for the ask!

6. Do you plan or do you write whatever comes to your mind?

I usually don't plan much aha, I have an idea of what I want the story to be about and I go with the flow. For longer stories I might have a vague plan but I generally don't follow it, because the stories and characters grow as I write and they may grow in a different direction from what I originally intended

16. If you’re fluent in more than one language, do you prefer writing in your first language or another language?

So my first language is French, and I definitely prefer writing in English. I was only 12 when I started writing fics, so I wasn't fluent in English just yet, and therefore the first fics I wrote were all in French, but since I started writing in English, I haven't been able to go back. I really prefer it, both because visually, I prefer English writing conventions, and because I read almost exclusively in English so I am more at ease writing in English as well

more than a footnote is coming back...

Dev and Niall are snuggled up and ready to read the latest and final chapter of @mooncello's lovely fic, more than a footnote. It's a tribute to fighting your demons, to finding yourself, to love, and most of all, to the sort of friendship we should all aspire to find.

New chapter drops Friday, June 27th! This promo message has been approved by Dev Pitch and Niall Connelly.

Last wipsday post for more than a footnote!

I love a good bookend moment. A solid callback. One of my favorite things about the fic playlist, for example, is that it begins with conan gray's 'best friend' and ends with laufey's 'best friend.' not only do the lyrics in both songs perfectly encapsulate footnote, but it's such a cool statement about the story itself. a lot changes, but the constant? Dev and Niall are best friends at the beginning of this fic—and at the end. 

placing the rest under the cut. chapter 9 drops friday. 🖤

from chapter 2:

Here's a bookend moment from the actual fic. The first snippet is from Dev's first-ever POV in the story, and the second is from his final POV. 

I’ve had months to think about it, and my list just keeps growing longer. Of what I wish I had the balls to say that night. You should never spell your irises blue because your big brown eyes are enough to make me commit forbidden magic, if you asked. Your hair keeps getting darker each year. So the ginger kid I met at the Crucible now has brown hair threaded with copper, and when the sunlight catches it, I kinda want time to stop because it’s one of the prettiest fucking things I’ve ever seen. Your smile could power the sun. It sure as fuck controls my breathing. You’re real and honest without even trying. And you have the weirdest sense of humour. You make me laugh. You always have. You’re my favourite person. Ever. 

from chapter 9:

He smiles sweetly at me. And I can't help it; I smile back, even as I roll my eyes. I comb my fingers through his hair, fluffy from shower water, and my gaze falls to his jawline that I've watched sharpen over the years. Then back up to his clever mouth. And his dimple that halfway convinces me some god must exist somewhere. "You're my favourite person," I tell him, and am rewarded with an incandescent smile. "I'm glad we met, too."

love them. love y'all. 🩵✌️

ask game!

8. Are there any elements you particularly like including in your writing? (Headcanons, character traits, plot points, etc)

14. Do your WIP(s) usually have proper titles? If not, how do you title your documents?

ehe thanks!

8. in terms of headcanons, I really like my trans!Simon headcanon, it has become very dear to me. Even if I don't mention it in the fic, I also always sort of assume Baz speaks Arabic. Baz's leg actually being A Thing is important to me too and that's something I make a point to include in most of my work, and in all my work nowadays. I also like including scenes with Daphne and Baz because I like exploring the relationship that I imagine they have

14. that depends on the fic! for instance, when I wrote Live and Die, I immediately know it was going to be entitled that, so my writing documents all said that, but I don't generally have a title when I start writing, so my writing documents are often titled after a main element of the fic. (ex: my writing document for my small town fic is just entitled 'small town')

If you know me, you know im constantly going through a gender crisis but GUESS WHAT!! Yea... Theres another. I'll explain what is going on in my head under the cut

Ive been thinking since i came out as trans if im actually a guy. Ive always felt a little like a dude yet had never considered it. Now that I'm a guy (demiboy) i still feel feminine. Not in a disphoric way though. I just am.

Based off of this, ive been racking my brain on what I actually am. (Yes ik labels dont really matter & you can be whatever you want but stfu cuz i like having community.) Anyways, ive come to the conclusion that I have all and no gender at the same time but leaning towards more masc but not really half. More like 3/4 everything 1/4 guy. Yknow?

Based off this i think im very much genderfluid and atm am enby or demigender.

Thank you for reading my yap session. My pronouns are now they/he. You can call this my wip wednesday cuz my gender identity is always a wip.

[sleepyphobzz]

I’m a simple guy. I like prettyboys, men with tits, entities, and deep-voiced women. But more than that? I like Critters

Hi hope you're okay! :)

If it's possible could you post the next part?

I would like to know what happens next.

Reading your story is so fun!

Ahh so sorry for not replying! I’ve been very busy w life and stuff (had a family loss), it is up to date on my Instagram if you’d like to read ahead 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Happy birthday, Simon Snow!

He is and will ever be my favorite character of all time. There's no one like the rosebud boy. He's pretty, complex and has beautiful wings.

Nothing else to say because I have a galaxy filled of thoughts and words that I could never articulate, but I love this boy that's now more a man.

He deserved to be turned into a lottery card because he's that special.

Te amamos, Simon Snow ❤️

hello all!

I would say long time, no see except I actually posted yesterday. Long time, no share, however. I don't feel like writing today but I *have* written since... march? I think? Quite a lot. And I feel like sharing something. I'm working on what I like to call "the first kiss chapter" at the moment. Very exciting stuff!! I know I said I wanted to wait to tell you what this WIP is but actually, I think I'm ready because I'm so ridiculously invested at this point, I don't know how I could possibly give it up.

So, for those who remember, this WIP is a rewriting of my Jane Eyre AU, Reader I married him (that I last updated in april 2022) I used to say I would not give up on RIMH and then, I went and did just that 😂 but I've started all over again and I think it's for the best. I've been rethinking the whole outline (and actually writing an outline this time) so the two stories won't have much in common other than the fact that it's inspired by Jane Eyre, that Baz is Mr Rochester, Simon is Jane, Mordelia is Adèle and Vera is Mrs Fairfax. I will probably share more details about it in the future.

I'm very excited to share it with you all when it's done!! In the meantime, I have two (2) snippets for you.

This post is getting a bit long so I'll put it all under the cut but I just want to say quickly that as I'm not posting regularly, I'm only tagging people who tag me because I'm not sure who's interested in hearing about this WIP, but if you are interested, let me know and I'll tag you next time.

In this first one, Baz has invited some guests and they're arriving. Mordelia watches them with excitement. Simon is more curious than excited. He's busy watching Baz and the woman everybody says he's going to propose to. And then...

A low gasp pulled him from his thoughts. Soft as a caress, it was, and sharp as a knife. Mordelia flinched. “Is everything all right, Delia?” “It’s Lady Petty,” she said. Faintly, faintly as if she was afraid she might be heard. “Who?”

He turned his gaze to the next guest but the woman was gone quickly. She walked fast, the silver end of her walking stick tolling with each intent step, caring little for who or what was on her way; if they did not move, she would trample them. Simon knew it instinctively, because his uncle had had the same gait. Because Mr Wilson had had the same look of scorn and superiority on his face. Simon would’ve flinched, too, because he had suffered cruelty at the hand of another human being.  Mordelia had not.  Young, beloved and living a recluse life, she was growing up dauntless. Fear and danger were complete strangers to her. Yet, she had flinched.  Which could only mean that she did not know her by sight alone. Some time, some place, she had met this woman before. 

Curiosity piqued, he pressed, “who’s she?” “Baz’s auntie,” Mordelia breathed as she watched the stone walls of Pitch Manor swallow the dark-haired stranger with unblinking eyes.

This second snippet is a shorter one from the chapter I'm working on. It's still a first draft but I like it! It's only a description of Baz; no context needed 😂

At her side, Mr Pitch stood. He wore no jacket in spite of the chilliness of night. Instead, an embroidered vest - black, bright green vines and deep purple blackberries creeping up his torso - over a white shirt. He’d rolled up the sleeves, showing the veins on his arms and sinewy muscles. Indecent, really. He wore his hair loose as well, curls escaping from his widow’s peak, falling in front of his face. Over his grey eyes. Hard and cold, they were, in the flickering light of the bonfires he’d explicitly forbidden, and home to Simon’s broken soul.

thank you for the tags as ever @ileadacharmedlife (I hope you're finding a little time and inspiration to work on your WIP!) and @ic3que3n 😘 today, I'm also tagging @you-remind-me-of-the-babe because now I can tell you how pleased and surprised I was that you so promptly offered to beta the same story you betad for me last time! Feels like fate haha

[sleepyphobzz]

Thank you @nausikaaa @monbons and @thewholelemon for the tags

I make a word goal every week. Most weeks I’m just happy if any words make it from brain to screen. This week I exceeded my goal! Only by a few hundred but still. It’s a win.

Most of what I did was editing my COBB fic. I wanted to add about 3,00 words to what I already had and I definitely did and I’m not finished yet.

Also, I worked on Questions We Don’t Ask. If I focus on it, I could potentially be done with the second part and just need it beta read and edited.

Also, I made a playlist for it. Feel free to take a listen. It is in no particular order so put that thing on shuffle:

And let’s just keep this Question themed. Here’s a slightly lighter moment between the two idiots:

“You’re going to ruin me,” I hear Simon whisper, kissing my hip and then my still trembling stomach.

“You’ve already ruined me,” I retort, but it lacks my usual venom, having been sucked out of me.

“Thank you for letting me crash here,” he says, sitting up and taking the warmth of his body with him. “I know I should have warned you, but I thought you’d turn me away.”

“If this is how you make amends, you may intrude upon me anytime,” I respond, trying to sit up but find my legs still too shaky and uncooperative.

“It’s a steep price,” he jokes. “But one I’m happy to pay.”

Have a good week everyone!

A day late but thought since it was our Rosebud boys’ birthday yesterday I would finally share my tattoo dedicated to the trilogy 💛.

Thank you immensely to @artandmartini for bringing my vision to life and taking on my commission request! Another big thank you to my tattoo artist (who does not have tumblr but is crossleytattoos on Instagram) for the pokes.

@rainbowrowell Thank you for creating a world and characters that I and so many others love so much 💛!
