🍓🦷🦋 from the ask game please!

Thank you for the ask, Days!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

First thing I ever wrote was in 2010, to flex a creative muscle, and it was all terrible haha. I wrote a little bit for about a year, then nothing until 2019 when I felt the itch again. I wrote mostly NaruIno stuff. First a simple team 7 swap romance, then some smuttier fics. At some point I realized my smut writing wasn't really where I wanted it to be so I decided to make a dump for oneshot smut practice...which was Chicken Ramen for the Pervert's Soul, and it's history from there.

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

I don't have any personal wisdom. Maybe just to say it doesn't cost anything to be kind. 😊

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately 

I feel torn as a writer between thinking that the fandom still needs me because there doesn't really seem to be any writers on AO3 that write Naruto/MultiF smut consistently, and wanting to retire because I feel like I've done more than enough.

For the WIP game - baby

“Yeah, that’s what I thought, baby. Saving your next orgasm for Lando,” Max shakes his head. He shuffles up on the bed, until he’s straddling Oscar’s thighs, reaches out to grab his chin, turning his head until their eyes meet. Oscar’s glaring, and Max would be more intimidated if his pupils weren’t blown wide with arousal, if he wasn’t having trouble catching his breath, if there wasn’t a flush still burning bright across his cheeks. 

I use baby *less* than i thought i did tbh...

Randomly generated headcanons

If someone they knew commited a crime, jessica jones would cover for them. jessica jones uses two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. jessica jones cringes at their middle school yearbook photos. jessica jones hates being alone. jessica jones cracks their knuckles very loudly. If jessica jones was presented with an intergalactic portal, they would enter it without question. jessica jones is great with kids. jessica jones gets road rage. jessica jones will go feral. Watch out.

my phone's at 39% BUUUT i have sent several numbers accidentally to someone bc i read it wrong haha so!! i'm also sending 74% (ipad) and 56% which is the battery of my ps5 controller rn :]

phone percentage ask game

39%. What is the strongest emotion your character has ever felt?

Fear. Rj (i.e. me) has felt fear as their strongest emotion, particularly in the face of other's at risk.

56%. Do they prefer sweet, salty, sour, meaty, spicy, or neutral tastes?

This is my favorite headcanon but Kit loves spicy and salty stuff. Not only because she genuinely likes the taste of spicy, but also it's the only way she can actually taste food due to the tech that's been implanted in her. Everything she eat has to be over-seasoned to the point most people will never touch it.

74%. Describe your character's love life throughout the years.

Most of my characters do not have very big love lives, but Ravid's is possibly the most set in stone. During their time in the brothel, they had a relationship with a fellow courtesan named Azaeria (who later appears as Zaer). During their time with the syndicate they do not enter into any closed relationships but spend most of their time hooking up with fwb or ons. After going off on their mission with Kirin, they fall for her and rekindle their relationship with Zaer as well - creating the Beyond Stardust's polyamory relationship.

How's this for a new ask game:

You're a Stardew Valley character, and your followers are farmers trying to make you like them by gifting you items (= sending you asks with item names.) Like Stardew NPCs, you can respond to each item by loving, liking, feeling neutral about, disliking, or hating it.

Reblog this to see if your followers manage to win your heart with their gifts!

hi bb! 1, 3, 15 & 17 for the ask game hehe

questions I think would be fun to be asked

what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

I'd say that books, anime and tv shows were all that shaped me. I always tried to self insert into the story that I loved the most at the time, and that improved image of self in this other worlds has been the thing that I've been chasing after my whole life.

3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

Gone Girl - I love the director, love the music, the story, the writer. Literal masterpiece that I've already rewatched four times.

True Detective - not a film, but one thing about me is that I love nihilist dilfs and a good detective story

JJK 0 - already rewatched it three times and read the manga volume too. I don't know what to say, Satoru just looks extra delicious in that movie.

what do you think of when you hear the word “home”?

My pretty brain that I use for maladaptive daydreaming 🙂‍↕️

name 3 things that make you happy

You. Your writing. Your asks ❤️ ily

1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 37 for the musical theater asks! (no need to answer them all if I picked too many, I just couldn't choose between them)

1. How did you first get into musical theatre?

Depends on when I decide I really became a fan. Could be any of these, really, depending on how I look at it:

I saw Grease on TV when I was a kid and really liked it

I loved ABBA as a tween, and then, the Mamma Mia! world tour came to Helsinki

My mom started pestering me about going to theatre when I was a teenager, since I had only ever seen one play as a tween, and she thought going again would be educational for me (seeing Mamma Mia! in an ice rink didn't count as real theatre for mom); I decided I wanted to see the then-current Finnish production of Cats

4. Who is your favourite musical theatre composer?

Fredrik Kempe. I hope he'll keep giving us new musicals to love and cherish for decades to come.

5. Who is your favourite musical theatre lyricist?

I don't know if I really have one.

I enjoy thinking about and looking into musical libretti, in the sense that I want to find all the information within, and I do enjoy a bit of clever wordplay every now and then – but I'm one of the least poetic people you'll ever meet, and in general I don't really vibe with lyrics as a form of poetry. I know why, say, Sondheim is so revered, but I don't feel it very deeply myself when I listen to his songs. Does that make any sense? Since I'm not a person who feels lyrics with all their heart (like I can feel music, sometimes), I just don't feel comfortable choosing any lyricist as a personal favourite.

6. Who is your favourite musical theatre director?

Jakob Höglund. The absolute MVP of the Finnish musical theatre scene, for me.

I don't always go see his shows (I always prioritise interesting subject matter etc. higher than the director when I'm choosing which shows to see, no matter how much I like the director) – but whenever I do, I'm always in awe. He's also a choreographer, and he has a very unique, beautiful way of adding movement to the musicals he directs. It's a style that definitely wouldn't mash well with every show out there (and with the way many musicals are licenced and strictly superwised by their rightholders, I'm sure there are many musicals he'll never be allowed to touch) – but with the right material, his style absolutely shines. His Så som i himmelen was the most beautiful production I've ever seen, and likely ever will see, on Helsinki's biggest musical stage.

Tbh, I think without Jakob Höglund, I'd feel a lot more pessimistic about the current and future state of Finnish musical theatre than I already do. The musicals that he directs aren't just good versions of the source material – they're always new and different, not for the sake of being different, but simply because they're so uniquely and recognisably his. It's a vibe I don't get with many musical directors, and I love to see it.

The day he'll tackle either The Great Comet or Hadestown... that'll be a happy day indeed.

7. Who is your favourite musical theatre actor?

Alexander Lycke.

He's been a part of my musical enthusiast journey ever since I really kicked my musical madness into high gear with the 2010 Finnish-Swedish production of Les Mis, with him as Valjean. There are many other musical actors whose work I enjoy, but no one that's involved with so many different shows and experiences and memories as Alex. He's important to me in a way no other musical actor is, or probably ever will be.

Besides, he's the only performer whose Bring Him Home I actually and truly enjoy instead of only tolerating it. Without him, I really wouldn't think such a feat would even be possible.

11. What is your favourite overture?

I always love a good overture! Let's say Chicago's, simply because it slaps. Honourable mention to Så som i himmelen's as it exists on the cast recording, because it's absolutely beautiful... but also nothing like the onstage version, so it doesn't really count.

37. Is there a musical lyric, line, moment, etc. that lives in your head rent-free?

"Ze Führer wasn't a mousy little mamma's boy! Ze Führer was BUUUUTCH!"
