[Backlog] [25/08/2022]

Be the light! Be the light! Alright!

[zarla-s]

Man it's been a long time since I've done an ask cluster! Let's see if I can get some down...

He's an extremely fun character to write for and play with! So in that sense I'm fond of him, haha. He's such a huge disaster of a person, there's always something fun to do with him. Well "fun" in a relative sense.

I don't have anything to forgive him for, he didn't hurt me. |D He hurt the brothers!

I do have an idea for a cute feature inspired by Six-Eared Macaque! I should really sit down and do that already... and finish the one I half started but never finished...

I don't think my opinion on any of them changed! I love them all, haha. Which ones I drew comics about just depends on which ones I get ideas for really. Sometimes I get Alphys ideas and sometimes I get Goatparents ideas! Inspiration is fickle!

I don't have any solid plans or anything. :B Just gonna keep chugging along with silly comics and art! Work on Defrag and such. I'd like to finish a Ladyverse comic I've had lying around forever, and I had vague plans for doing a doujin for them too I could work on... and also seeing if I could format Handplates into a book format... I've always got a bunch of projects, haha.

It works on that level! It wasn't intentional though. |D

I do enjoy speculation! I don't really have much of my own though, I didn't predict anything in chapter 2 so now I'm assuming I can't predict anything in the future chapters either, haha.

Emesis Blue is great! Some really beautiful visuals in there, very striking! Love the mood of it too and a lot of the surreal imagery. I think it helped spur me back into TF2 again, haha. Medic and Scout's relationship was so cute.

I have thought about this! It has its share of challenges though... I outlined them more in this post. A pdf would be more doable though... could even include some extra stuff as well! Hmm...

I can see that! He'd probably spend as much time out in the rain as he could just doing whatever to stay outside.

It was pretty much always going to end like that. I always wanted it to end on a hopeful note! Which might seem weird with how dark it is at the beginning. I DID for a brief period at the very beginning of Handplates think about stopping with the Pacifist run, but that was only because I thought going where I wanted to go would take too long and already the project seemed so dauntingly huge at the time, haha. But it was always going to end in a positive way!

Gaster talks about what he originally intended to create here, and he explains a bit about the physical experiments he runs on the brothers here. They aren't really a solution in and of themselves so much as tools to try and find a way to break the barrier. Really though, Gaster got stuck in the sunk-cost fallacy lol.

I don't really have opinions about what canon Gaster would be like. |D Handplates Gaster is his own thing really. Canon Gaster, who knows! Deltarune Gaster, who knows! I will say I hope Gaster stays a mystery in Deltarune and never actually shows up but I think the odds of that are really low at this point.

I thought about doing a script along those lines! I did a few rough drafts of one, but it never really went anywhere... it'd end up dead-ending or kind of meandering off. I might see if I can get an actual script down for a side-comic or something in the future... it might be better suited for a fic.

I was just thinking about this lately! I was picturing Gaster totally forgetting about that until he sees Papyrus squinting and is like OH GOD YOUR EYES THAT'S RIGHT D: and goes to get him looked at lol.

I couldn't come up with a good idea for Flowey which is a shame, I do like him, haha. If one comes to me though I might make a little side comic about it!

Gaster's LV is complicated... his stats in-game are ludicrous if I recall correctly. Did he carry the damage from his murders into the void, even if those murders weren't his in the new timeline? Deep thoughts.

He fed them anything he could find, haha. Which is why sometimes they just ended up with chocolate bars (which he intended as dinner for himself). He probably fed them more often than he fed himself lol. He did feed them fairly regularly though.

Not about skeletons, probably. |D

Man I know I had an explanation for this but it was so long ago... it's hard for me to remember. It could be that the Riverperson is just weird and has weird insight into elements of things, had a prophetic dream... I don't know! It bugs me now that I can't remember this, haha.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Honestly, I don't think any of them have had an angsty ending lol. Angsty middle, maybe, but I can't leave any fic on a sad note haha

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? ooo honestly I think it might be "I'm getting old and I need something to rely on", because it really is the one where icemav had to WORK for their happy ending....sort of slkfjdg

8. Do you get hate on fics? I don't think I have? at least not where I can see it haha

17. What are your writing weaknesses? metaphors, I think? Sometimes they just happen though idk

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I'd only feel right doing it if it was a language I knew well or had a consultant, I guess?

19. First fandom you wrote for? percy jackson lol

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Again, idk if I can have an all-time fav, but as for recent fic: good old-fashioned lover boy has a special place in my heart, and so does my macheresin hockey fic: and you're right here :D

[khaleesiofalicante]

Hello! I just wanted to tell you something I meant to say for a while now, I apologize in advance because I feel like it's going to be quite long. So, some time ago when you did a month or week with Malec there was this thing called "advice hour with Alec". And seeing questions you/Alec got, it felt extremely crazy to me that you want to try to take such responsibility and answer them. Crazy not in a bad way but in an admirable way because it was admirable that you're willing to take someone's hardships off their shoulders even for a moment. And even though I had this feeling, I really really wanted to be selfish too and ask for an advice because I never really felt brave enough to ask for it a different way than as a anonymous asking a stranger who has 0% chances of figuring out who asked for it.

That's a long-ass introduction, what I meant to say is that I just found that "Alec's" answer in my drafts again (because of course I had to save it), and it reminded me I wanted to say that I'm really thankful for your words. It really gave me so much strength when I felt bad about myself and it still does. It keeps reminding me that I still have much to work on, because no, I didn't do what "Alec" advised me to do. Yet. I don't think I'm ready now or that I'll be ready in the near future but I feel like I'm getting there, just a little slower than some brave Shadowhunter. :)

So yeah, thank you so much. And for what? I don't even know if I can put it into words. I'm really struggling right now haha... It does feel kind of stupid because you don't know me and I don't really know you but it still means so much to me. It means so much that there's this person somewhere out in the world who took the time to read my totally incoherent and cryptical ask which, now looking back at it, gave you little to nothing to work on. But you read it anyway and answered signing it with Alec's name. And I'm kind of embarrassed that that last part means so much to me. Honestly that "Alec" with that little blue heart at the end means the world to me and still makes me smile. I don't know if it makes sense but it really made me feel the closest to him that I've ever been or I ever can be, considering he's a fictional character, and god... It's been so comforting in a way, no matter how awkward it feels to say it out loud. Because it's almost like he's there for me.

And I guess that's what I'm thanking for - for you doing what you're doing because that little piece of it that got to be only mine in a way, I'll forever keep it close to my heart as a reminder to, as some wise Shadowhunter once told me, never stop fighting.

I think of this as my repayment for that sacrifice I was talking about before - of taking someone's hardships even though you didn't have to do it. I know it's not much but that's all I can give at the moment - tell you that it didn't go unnoticed, that I didn't forget about it and that I'm still working on it because since I already asked for that advice I might as well actually take it, right? And to possibly make you feel better. Is it selfish to think it works like that? Does it actually work like that for anyone? Well, if doesn't I hope it won't make you feel uncomforable or obligated to answer it even if you don't want to or something like that (it really isn't about this, it's not about me so honestly do with it whatever you want, please). But if it does work like that, I hope it's able to give you at least a piece of what I felt when I got that message from Alec.

Thank you again and I hope you're well.

- A :)

This was possibly the sweetest thing anyone has ever told me in a while. So, of course, I had to ask Alec to come back and talk to you himself.

(he is a very busy consul but he always makes time for people and yes he is god)

Alec. Over to you.

---

Dear A,

We share an initial, huh? That's cool!

I feel like we share more than that.

I know we are not the same. Of course not. Our stories are different.

But I know what it feels like to know what I have to do, but not have the strength or courage to do it.

I get you.

Asking for advice isn't always about taking that advice. It's about learning that there are people out there who care enough to listen to you. It's about understanding that someone might have solutions for your problems, even if you don't. It's about taking that step, getting out of your comfort zone.

Admitting you are in pain and asking for help is not easy. That in itself is a big deal.

I'm glad you did that. I'm glad my words brought comfort to you.

I know I got my happy ending. I know I got to where I wanted to be.

I know it's taking you a little longer.

But that's okay.

Just because you get late, it doesn't make the journey any less important.

You take your time.

Magnus always tells me that, you know. He tells me to take my time.

It makes me smile because of course he says that. He has all the time in the world.

But not really, no?

Everyone has the time they have. Not more or not less.

So, don't let anyone tell you what to do with the time you have.

Take your time.

Keep working on yourself. Because no one else will.

And most importantly, remember to have breakfast.

(Magnus wrote that last bit. Sorry!)

And yes, it did make me feel a lot better to know I was able to help you in some way.

It's always good to know we make other people happy.

It's one of the best feelings in the world. Knowing you made someone happy.

So, thank you.

I hope you find the time and the strength to give some of that happiness to yourself.

Love,

Alec 💙

Oh no! You’re totally fine! I’ve technically been writing from a very young age. It’s always been at thing I’ve enjoyed. I just… in general have self doubt issues so it’s hard to have confidence in this one thing. I do need to work on proofreading my own stuff and hashing it out better. My first draft always seems to be just trying to get all of the ideas for the chapter slapped down in some semblance of an order, so proofreading would probably do me some good. I will just have to learn to get over the anxiety, or better manage it.

I tend to come up with my ideas from daydreams, if I’m being real so I tend to have ideas of how I want things to go, but nothing fully concrete. I also don’t necessarily plan my storylines, other than the beginning and end. Which is probably a very bad practice but it’s how my brain works. I have too many ideas all at once and kinda jump around a lot, which is why there’s only one posted.

-Brea

self doubt can really hold people down. i owe a lot to my creative writing classes (from the first time i was in college lol) for helping pull me out of that funk. i have another creative writing class starting on tuesday and i am sooooOOOoOOOOOoOOO excited hehe.

i really cannot recommend proofreading enough. and, honestly, it is okay to cringe at what you write, a little. it's all part of the improvement process. just don't forget to also note things that you think you did particularly well. i even like to keep a doc of phrases or words that i like a lot, that i tend to use, so if i am in a brain funk, i can look that over and see if anything inspires me. and bouncing sentences/ideas off of writers has helped me a LOT. sometimes i just cannot get a sentence/paragraph right and it helps to turn to another person. (i am also dyslexic, and BOY HOWDY sometimes i get words all mixed up hehehe.)

a bulk of my ideas are also from dreams/daydreams too. (and night terrors, to be honest!) it's fun to pull little threads out of whatever my subconscious is up to, to see what i can turn into a story. planning is hard. usually, i only begin to plan in the second or third act, when i decide "hey, i should like.....fucking end this, at some point???) Collateral didn't get an outline of any sort until chapter 12 or so, and it really shows hahahahaha. oh well. even sticking to an outline is hard because my characters will just...............do completely different shit. sometimes it feels like there is no controlling them; i'm simply a conduit through which their stories are told haha.

some people outline from day 1. others never do. i try to do something in between but also give myself a lot of grace to change things. and i just allow myself to be inspired along the way. i think that's the beauty of writing; we can do anything we want! 💜

[jedicouncilmember]

I saw you reblogged that cute cottagecore ask game, so could I please ask:

🌱 Seedling: What is something you want to begin learning? 

🥞 Pancake: What is your fav. breakfast food? 

Hoping you have a great Wednesday 💕

Jess! Omg I totally didn't start to answer this, save it to drafts, and then promptly forget about it 👀 this was so sweet of you to send me this ask 💞

🌱 - What is something you want to begin learning?

Oh! Crochet. I bought all the yarn and materials to start this project a few months ago. And I tried to start figuring how to do it off of videos and such but I just couldn't get the hang of it. This is a good reminder though because my sister can crochet and she said she'd help me out! I definitely need to plan a craft day with her soon 💕

🥞 - What's your fav. breakfast food?

Oh gosh—there's so many answers to this depending on if I'm feeling savory or sweet, if it's a holiday or not, if I'm on a trip or at home or a restaurant. But I'll stick with just two answers to make this bearable to read 😂

Sweet: Waffles! Either chocolate chip with butter or plain with butter and syrup 😋

Savory: huevos rancheros!! Just thinking about it is making my mouth water actually 🤤

And ofc add on either mimosas or bloody mary's

(It's almost 2am and I'm so hungry now haha)

2021 AO3 Year In Writing

tagged by: @laurabeatrix

I definitely didn't start this weeks ago when I was tagged and then not get a chance to finish it and completely forget about it until I went to check my drafts for something else. *cough* I'm also incapable of giving short answers, so I decided to do a "read more" and save any mobile users from a ridiculous amount of scrolling to get past my nonsense.

1. Number of stories posted to AO3:

7

2. Word count posted for the year:

260,927 words (though really only around 190K of that was written in 2021, a lot of it was written in 2019 or 2020 and I only got the courage to share in 2021, haha.)

3. Fandoms I wrote for:

The Dresden Files

4. Pairings:

Harry/Murphy, Harry/Lara, & (sigh) Harry/Marcone

5. Story with the most:

Kudos: 80 Floors Up (122)

Bookmarks: 80 Floors Up (21)

Comments: All's Fair(59)

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why):

Mm. I’m really pleased with how All’s Fair turned out. It’s the first story I’ve ever fully planned out and written methodically, with the knowledge that I’d be sharing it with people and so it needed to do story-y things. This is the first thing I’ve ever written that felt like I really had to work at it, but the end result is something that I feel is actually pretty well polished.

Runner-up shout out to The Detective & Miss Murphy though. I went into it with only the vaguest idea of when the Regency era even was and having precisely zero experience with either consuming or creating Regency romance books/shows/movies. I expected it to be a total disaster, and while it definitely is not the best thing ever written or even the best thing I’ve ever written, I think it’s turned out pretty well so far. Jane Austen I am not, but since @LauraBeatrix’s original inspiration for the conversation was Bridgerton, and Julia Quinn is also definitely no Jane Austen (which I know now, because I’ve read like four or five of those books at least, so thanks for that LauraB :P) I’ll take it. I also genuinely put more time and effort into research for this fic than I did for all of my college classes combined last year (8 of them? 9? A bunch) and while I’m not exactly proud of that fact, I’m not not-proud either.

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why):

I’m tempted to say 80 Floors Up because it is the fic I have put the absolute least amount of thought or effort into – it was a silly premise that I wrote in a single weekend including editing time. But it did turn out pretty good despite being somewhat ridiculous?

I guess I Caught Fire. Every time I look at it I feel like it’s missing something, like something’s off about it, but no matter how I poke at it I’m not satisfied.

8. Share or describe a favourite review you received:

It’s been a good year for reviews. Honestly, everybody is so sweet and supportive. I started 2021 kind of on the fence about whether to continue posting things and very insecure in my own writing but people have been so nice. I have genuinely cried from comments received several times this past year.

(Not that I have a folder on my phone with screenshots of comments that I flip through when imposter syndrome gets bad or anything. I’m not desperate for validation. It’s cool.)

But my absolute favorite review? Gotta be this lovely gem from @LauraBeatrix:

9. A time when writing was really, really hard:

I hit a snag in The Detective & Miss Murphy for a bit there where I had waaaaay too much planned content to fit into waaaay too few chapters, which was super difficult to work through.

I also have had a few instances (once for All’s Fair, twice for yet-unposted WIPs) where I’ve had to dwell on That Scene from midway through Battle Ground and that’s been a very different kind of difficult.

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

Harry and Murphy are constantly surprising me in The Detective & Miss Murphy because they never do quite what I expect them to do. I have whole scenes planned out and then one of them just says something out of nowhere, or does something crazy. You know what I didn’t expect at the start of writing a regency romance? That my hero and heroine would have a woman tied up in the heroine’s bedroom to get information out of her. Didn’t expect that to happen. Absolutely insane. I have no control over them.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

This bit for All’s Fair keeps sticking with me and I’m fond of it: “I remembered when she’d been mine and I’d been hers. When we’d professed our love and when we'd acted on it. I remembered when I knew with all of my heart, mind, and soul that I belonged wholly and completely to her, that I would never love anyone the way I loved her. We were made for each other, in the sense that years of shared experiences and friendship had forged us into complementary shapes, worn and scarred but familiar and comfortable, fitting perfectly together.”

12. How did you grow as a writer this year:

I have definitely gained a lot more confidence in myself. Two years ago, getting an even vaguely critical comment on something would haunt me for weeks and make me question whether or not I should continue posting. Even at the beginning of last year, I frequently questioned whether or not I should bother sharing what I wrote, if I was just being stupid and arrogant to believe that other people would want to read it, etc. I'm not saying I've magically become immune to criticism or anything, but I'm at a place where I can get a negative comment, process the feedback (if there actually is any), and move on with my life without losing sleep over it. Which is progress.

13. How do you hope to grow next year:

I want to put more of a focus on original work in 2022 than I did last year. I still expect most of what I write to be fic, but I'm starting to entertain the idea that 15 year old me might have been right after all and I should try to become a published author.

I also want to invest more time in actually learning how to be a better writer. I've listened to TED talks and interviews and things like that here and there with authors I respect, and sometimes I pick up good advice, and sometimes I think the advice isn't for me, but I want to spend more time doing that this year. Writing, like any art imo, has a large instinctive component, but that doesn't mean you can't better hone your instincts with training.

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

Last spring I stumbled across a post where some total strangers were discussing wanting to see fluff of Harry/Murphy. One person in particular had a specific request, I think she said she wanted to see Harry at another Murphy family reunion? I don't remember now. Whatever it was, I had this fic that had been sitting in my drafts since 2019ish and it sounded like just what she was looking for. So even though I thought it was kind of a poorly-written fic, I posted it on AO3 and shared it here, hoping maybe one or more of these people would see it. Even if it wasn't very good, I figured not-great content is still better than no content, right?

That very particular stranger was @laurabeatrix, who did see my fic, and had a ton of kind things to say about it, and has basically not stopped saying nice things about my fics since. She is my biggest cheerleader/muse/emotional support beta reader/tinfoil hat co-conspirator/3 AM rambling thought sounding board/all-around wonderful person. I can honestly say without exaggeration that at least half of what I've written this year wouldn't have happened without her, or at least wouldn't have been posted. Also, she made art for a fic that I wrote. Art. Like for real fanart. It's been months and I'm still kind of freaking out about that because seriously how cool is that?

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

No current events from my life, though I've definitely drawn from my life experiences. There's a scene in Paper & Jewelry where Harry's watching Murphy use a step ladder to try to put baubles on the Christmas tree, which was directly inspired by my wife watching me nearly break my neck several times trying to string the lights on our tree a few years back.

Also, not sure if it counts but most of the time when I choose to set a scene in a specific place in Chicago it's because it's a place I've been and often have pictures I can reference. Several of Lara and Harry's dates in All's Fair are locations the wife and I have also visited together. Really wish we weren't living in plague times, because it's been way too long since we had a chance to get out there and I'm itching for it.

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

Share what you've written! I don't care what you've written. I don't care if its an obscure ship from an obscure fandom with a weirdly specific set of tags that you think only you could possibly care about. Someone wants to read it. You think it's bad? It's probably amazing, but even if it isn't, to be honest, who cares? If you liked the idea, or the dialogue, or the setting, or whatever enough to write it, someone else will like it too. It's easy to get caught up in the number of kudos, or the number of comments, but honestly, even if there's just one other person out there who reads it any enjoys it, you've still made an impact on the world, you've made that one person's day better for a few minutes (or hours, or if you write as much as I do maybe days) just by sharing your ideas, your art. Don't second-guess yourself.

And if you're writing for one of my fandoms, this goes doubly for you. Odds are if there's only one weirdo who is going to like your fic, I'm that weirdo, and I want to read it, lol (But seriously, you're better than you think. How do I know? Because I've never in my life met a writer who was as bad or worse than they thought. We all think that. It's okay. Just share anyway.)

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

Very close to finishing Detective and Miss Murphy which is both exciting and sad. I'll miss it but I'll be glad to have it wrapped up too.

After that, I've got a kind of dark post-BG longfic I'm working on, which will let me play with myths and deities, some of which we haven't had a chance to see yet in canon, and I'm both nervous and excited for that prospect. We'll see how it works out.

As always, I've got about two dozen other misc WIPs too, most of which aren't ready for me to talk about them yet, but I'm sure there' will be plenty of forthcoming fic for 2022.

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read:

As usual I'm not directly tagging anyone because I don't do that, but if you're reading this and you would like to provide your answers, consider this me, tagging you. I'd love to read your thoughts!!

[lizziebennet]

what didn't you like about fantastic beasts? or haha this might be easier, what did you like?

fjfjjfjfjfjjfjfjf lmaoooooooooo tbh the story was just very underdeveloped like there were just a lot of plot holes which is one of the things i absolutely adore about harry potter: the magic has rules and it makes sense. the bullshit at the end when they erased the memories of the ENTIRE POPULATION OF NEW YORK....... was so sloppy lmao. a lot of the stuff w MACUZA didnt make sense at all like the way they sentenced tina and newt TO DEATH immedAITELY for what they did ... and even if they did have the dealth penalty like why the fuck would it be that weird complicated system and not just like poison or something??? there was stuff like that that just didnt make sense or feel real which was so disappointing because again one of my fave things about harry potter is the way everything makes sense and is logical and believable even tho its magic 

the final battle w the obscurus was just like random destruction act three battle like you would see in a superhero movie and i wanted something more intellectual and interesting from harry potter!!!! 

i feel like jkr doesnt really... understand america like idk it didnt really feel like 1920s new york and ill neVER get over the lack of diversity when this was at a time in history when the immigrant population of new york was huge like. what are we DOING HERE. and i get the stuff w credence and the obscurial is like a metaphor for being oppressed and like being a minority but like... .im so tired. show me actual diversity jkr. its not enough. 

i also dont understand... like if the whole series is about grindelwald and fighting against him like......... why did we start so removed from that??? like it totally felt like grindelwald was almost an add on to fantastic beasts. there was the FUCKING LAZIEST OPENING IVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE WITH THE NEWSPAPERS JUST BEING LIKE “GRINDELWALD -- HES BAD!! REMEMBER THIS FOR LATER IN THE MOVIE!!!” fuck you david yates!!!! and then the reveal at the end... like..... it just seems like there could be such a more relevant way to set everything up?? 

ive only seen the movie twice (which is very telling itself) so im probably forgetting/misremembering things but it was just so blah! like there were a few good comedic moments and some stuff i liked but overall it barely made an impact and i feel like a lot of people feel the same way because i never seen it get talked about online. i just feel like its such a hugely wasted opportunity like this is HARRY FREAKING POTTER and you’re giving me five new movies in this universe??? can yall maybe slow down and think them out a little more?? like maybe go through a few more drafts of the script??? god

It's August, snakes are involved, I don't know what else you expected from me :P

This was mainly for the three frames at the end tbh. It could have been a gif lol

Edit: I forgot!!! Song is Outer Science by Jin feat. IA. Go listen to it and the rest of Kagerou Project, it's so good
