#20Questions

[starzfield]

which muse is the easiest to write? 

Tricky question. It may be Duncan simply because the more I write a muse, the easiest it become to write them. But Lukan is either second or top too, because he's a character who existed in my mind for a very long time.

(Next under the cut)

which muse is most likely to go to jail? 

Lol, a bunch. Blaize because he's a killer, obviously. Duncan for his past crimes or because he's going to punch an asshole. Definitely Léo if a jail could contain him. Fi did actually do accidental crimes that got her nearly arrested... And Vincent did some dumb teenagers crimes yaknow.

which muse would be the best parent?

Ok easy one, hand down Lukan. Aby, Reina, Keith, William and Zephyr would be good parents. Duncan too, despite truly not thinking he should be one. Léo would ironically be an ok parent, past the evil villain thing.

which muse is, physically, the strongest?

If we speak physically, without magic involved... Jason, probably. He trained his whole life as a Hell's general after all. Keith, Reina, Niel and Zephyr are all very strong. Duncan and William are strong. And Lukan and Cal are strong when respectively as werewolf or possessed.

what would your muses be the deities of?

Omfg I love this one. Will give several options. Léo : Ice/Revenge | Duncan : Redemption | Fi : Fun | Axel : Sing/Song Niel : Time | Seth : duality/disguise | Gabriel : Lies Erik : entertainement | Blaize : Death | Reina : Dance Zephyr : patience/loyalty | Lukan : Healing/moon/wolf Keith : souls/strength/will | Vincent : thunder/ressentment Tora : fire/hope/determination | lola : kindness/innocence | Aby : ocean/water/change | Jason : leaving/regret William : difference/protection/help | Cal : failure/resignation

Achilles Castle part 84

Lemonade and lies PART 27

Question 6

Kate: pov actually in the beginning my dad pushed me around. Cat or dog. Castle actually wants a dog.

Liv: pov Noah has been trying to convince me into a cat or dog.

Muncy: pov I actually have a cat at home.

Jet: definitely a dog. They are so cute.

Questions 7

Liv: pov the food is so great Muncy almost knocked her soda over. night owl or early bird. I get up early and go to bed late. I'm both an early bird and a night owl.

Kate: pov I would say both in a way I'm an early bird but since It's hard for me to fall asleep some nights, and the nightmares keep me up i’m also a night owl. I'm supposed to get a certain amount of hours a night of sleep, but it's hard.

Muncy: pov night owl, Liv says if you could Muncy you would show up at noon everyday.

Jet: pov i’m a night owl that's when criminals work the most.

Questions 8

Muncy: pov iced coffee or regular. I like mine iced with caramel and vanilla.

Liv: pov I love a good mocha latte, you know Fin doesn't drink coffee only Ice T.

Jet: pov I love iced coffee, I like to put everything in it.

Kate: pov i drink decaf which is nasty, not much i can put in it to make it taste good. Castle usually puts nutmeg in his coffee, he used to put it in mine. I can't have it anymore due to my health, I also can't have cinnamon.

Question 9

Jet: pov Favorite TV show, I watch a bunch of random shows even some anime.

Kate: pov mine are temptation lane and nebula 9 I actually got to meet the cast of both shows. Both shows got me through some. Difficult times.

Liv: pov I don't have time to watch TV I usually watch what Noah is watching or what bri is.

Muncy: pov I like to watch a lot of reality tv.

Question 10

Liv: pov favorite type of candy, I don't know if I have a favorite.

Jet: pov I like licorice especially black licorice.

Kate: pov you know you have to be careful with black licorice it can cause licorice toxicity and black licorice almost killed me, I had to be cardioverted thankfully they put me to sleep for it knowing it would traumatize me and cause a ptsd episode. I used to love M&M’S but I can't really eat much candy anymore. It's not good for me.

Question 11

Kate: pov who is your ride or die. Mine would be Espisito, Ryan and Castle.

Liv: pov mine is Fin, I know I'm Elliot's because I once said I would kill for him if I had to because he is my former partner and I wouldn't let anything bad happen to him. We were partners for 13 years. No matter what he did to me I will always have his back. On the other hand I can save myself. I've done it before.

Jet: pov rayes would have to be my pick.

Question 12

Muncy: pov wow Liv that's deep, I would have to say my brother. Hot tub or pool. I love a hot tub. It always feels so nice.

Liv: pov Noah loves to swim in the pool when we get the chance. I do love a hot tub, Kate can't use a hot tub.

Jet: pov I prefer a pool. why can't she use a hot tub wouldn't it be good for sore muscles

Kate: pov it has to do with the excessive heat, which can raise blood pressure and cause arrhythmia. I also have to wear a life jacket and be careful in open water or a pool. I had to take a pool safety class just to be allowed near water.

Muncy: pov why did you have to take the safety class. Kate says she has a higher chance of drowning than a normal person who doesn't have health issues.

Question 13

Jet: pov what is the longest time you have been away from the job. Mine was a few days for a injury.

Muncy : pov same Duarte put me on desk duty for a few days while my sprained ankle healed.

Liv: pov I was undercover for a bit and reassigned to different units, but the longest I was a way was 2 months while I recovered from Lewis. My injuries healed pretty quick. It was the emotional ones that took longer.

Kate: pov as Liv knows I worked for the Attorney General's office for a bit but my longest time away from the job was the 3 months it took me to recover from the gunshot wound. I was allowed in the field my first few days back but had to take it easy and was partially on desk duty for a little bit.

Question 14

Kate: pov weirdest thing that happened to you on the job me and castle were handcuffed together and locked in a basement with a tiger.

Liv: pov I have had so many it's hard to name just one. The 2 that come to the top of my head are being poisoned by mushrooms or a toxic chemical. I was also framed for murder, Kate says she was also framed for murder. Muncy and Jet haven't had a weird experience yet, or been framed for murder.

Question 15

Jet: pov full piece bathing suit or two piece. I like a two piece, Muncy says she also likes a two piece, more of you gets tan that way.

Liv: pov definitely a full piece. I have scars from Lewis and I'm older now and a two piece bathing suit won't look good on me.

Kate: pov full piece all the way it covers my scars even the huge one on my side, I actually have to wear a bathing suit shirt over my bathing suit to protect my skin and I can be out in the hot weather for too long. It's not good for me, same with the cold. To be continued. ….

Tagged by the wonderful miss @cicinicole-14

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

187.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

1,610,309

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Law & Order SVU (and OC)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Getting to Know You

Mastaba

Love You Still

In Treatment

Meet the Parent(s)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I generally do try to respond to all comments. If you take the time to write me more than "Update soon!" or "I love this" I will respond in kind. Not that I don't appreciate the "I love this" comments, but the "Update soons!" on a recent chapter kinda drive me a little crazy.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

One that both lives and dies in my drafts. I don't know if I could have the heart to publish something that doesn't have a happy ending. There's too much of that in the world already.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Love Sometimes Steals Into A Heart

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Sometimes.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes. I try to branch out into various kinds.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

With another fandom? I have a Addison Shepherd/Olivia Benson ship that I haven't shared with the world but in glimpses in "Neglected Spaces"... and I did write that one crossover with Chicago.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think I have... but if I have, I'm relying on my friends to tell me so I can report it. People pour their hearts and souls and creative blood into fics and if you steal it, you're the scum of the earth.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I'm aware.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Yes. I love working together with another creative mind and weaving words together. It's fun and sometimes makes you glance at things from different angles.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Currently? It's EO. (ElliotxOlivia) but I've got to say that Burzek is a close #2 but they need more fics.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

It's my goal to finish ALL WIPS before I fade into oblivion one day.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm good at putting you there in the moment. But honestly? I think half of everything I write is shit, but I love writing so I selfishly write the stories that I want to read (and don't read them after they're finished).

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I CANNOT WRITE A ONE-SHOT TO SAVE MY LIFE.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Only if it's because they're travelling somewhere and communication in the other language is absolutely necessary but I'd want to find a fluent speaker to double-check.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

It's a split between these three: Call It Bittersweet

Christmas Ghosts: An EO Christmas Carol

and DEAR YOU, LOVE ME

I'm supposed to tag people. But I hate tagging others. I never know how many times they've been tagged.

Fanfic 20 Questions!

1: How many works on AO3?

49. 45 completed, 4 WIPs

2: Total AO3 word count?

715,436

3: Top 5 fics by Kudos?

Maddened by the Stars, I See You, You’re Home with Me, Thank You Sir, You Make my Head Spin (in descending order from most to least)

4: What fandoms do you write for?

Red, White, and Royal Blue for now, but hoping to expand my repertoire once the hyperfixation abates. (Going on a year now in the RWRB fandom soooooo who knows if that’ll happen)

5: Do you respond to comments?

😬 I used to try to respond to every comment, but I’ve gotten really bad at responding to comments in the last few months.

6: Angstiest ending?

I exclusively write happy endings, but I would say my angstiest fics in general are Maddened by the Stars, Sweetheart, You’re Home with Me, Breathe Again, and You Make my Head Spin.

7: Fic with the happiest ending?

Again, they ALL have happy endings, but the happiest?? Probably I See You or Food for the Soul.

8: Do you get hate?

Not frequently. I’ve had a couple of comments here and there in the past, but not enough to say I get it all the time.

9: Do you write smut?

Out of 49 fics, 34 are rated E. So yes.

10: Do you write crossovers?

Depends on your definition of a crossover. Several of my fics are inspired by other universes (I’ve got a Firefly AU, an Ever After AU, a King and I AU, a GBBO AU, a Greek mythology AU, and probably a couple of more) but I don’t usually borrow the characters from that AU (Ever After AU excluding).

11: Ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

12: Ever had a fic translated?

Again, not to my knowledge.

13: Have you ever co-written a fic?

This Mark on my Chest is something I’m considering co-written as the idea is one my friend and I are taking a Two Cakes approach to, so he’s listed as a co-writer.

14: All time favorite ship?

At this point in my life it’s FirstPrince, but that’s evolved over time with my various hyperfixations.

15: WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I don’t like this one 😭 mainly because I don’t like to abandon fics. That being said, one that I’m currently STRUGGLING to write is El Profesor del Ray. And then my Queer Hotties fic is a WIP, but that one isn’t really plot based, so it’s okay that it’s a WIP.

16: Writing strengths?

Oh gods don’t ask 😓 I can be good at writing emotions sometimes, I guess? And smut. I think I’m pretty decent with smut.

17: Writing weaknesses?

I am a comma girlie (gn). Like… it’s bad.

18: Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?

I’ve used it before, and will probably use it again. That being said, it annoys me when an author uses mixed language dialogue in a fic and then doesn’t leave a translation in the author’s note at the end. Plus it can be used too much.

19: First fandom you wrote for?

RWRB

20: Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Oh gods. It’s a toss up between Maddened by the Stars, I See You, and the entire Andromeda series.

PALOMA TWISTS IN HIS GRIP LIKE A BUTTERFLY TRAPPED IN A COCOON, then stills. Her eyes are wide and watchful, and her lips are compressed into a thin line to keep the pain from seeping out. She’s lucky this refugee camp is kind, if suspicious. She doesn’t blame them. Sheep always get nervous when lambs with wolf-jaws slip into their midst. She’s also lucky their healer is good. Practiced. Paloma isn’t familiar with his craft, but she’s been watching him like a hawk. She notices things, especially in dreams. Here is what’s stood out to her so far.

First: his touch. Soft, even when it’s firm. Like it can read her mind, the way it eases when her mouth creases in pain. He’s experienced.

Second, and this one is important: he has not slipped a single poison into any of the herbs he gives her. This pleases and confuses her, because she feels his stress. It hangs in the air like the smell of soil after rain. She wonders about the cause. Her race? Status? Her profession? Crow, rich-blood, human, something else?

Her talents?

One way to find out. Slowly, purposefully, she pulls her damaged hand from his grasp, dips her fingers into the cut in her palm, and writes a red-raw question on the wood of the table between them.

WHY DO I MAKE YOU UNEASY?

Her gaze locks on his. She blinks, once, then closes her eyes, turns away, and offers him her injuries. Maybe he will feel better if she guts her senses in submission.

@womanlives || LIKED for a STARTER

"I insist - please, you must keep still for but only a moment longer-" Fingers work swiftly, deftly, but cannot account for movement that comes from his apparent temporary charge; clearing glass shards from wounds was difficult enough, but one had to account for infection, for stitching and none of what he desperately needed to do as swiftly as possible could be while his company fidgeted.

"I cannot let you leave while you yet have an open wound." Words are uttered, but his attention never removes itself from tending as quickly as he is able while trying to be thorough. "One more moment is all I ask, then you may leave with your heal in tact."

We can do our own painting activity!

I bring paint and canvas and we can play "I spy" with a painting challenge!

The rules of course are for a real challenge between minds, how will you fare?

Sketch what one can see and as you finish that one thing, you should declare to your opponent(s), “I spy with my fairy eye, something (one descriptive word of choice)!”

After each individual has selected something and has completed the sketch process. (battleship setup so that participants cannot see each canvas or paper!)

This activity is best with 3-5 players the item passively until your opponent asks their questions (the questions need limitations, I.e. per each player gets 10 questions per person, 2players is 10questions total, 3players is 20questions each and so on. Add 10questions for every player added on after 2 players.)

Adding their inquiries to the canvas with each question, each person will take turns making guesses!

The fun now is deciding between sketching the objects guessed or adding splashes of the colors guessed (have a spare sheet listing the colors and objects that the others guess for each painting they can use their questions to add odd items to painting for each guess, spare or left over questions for guessing can be usedI.e. “Is it a dragon?” If they cannot guess what you saw by the time they run out of questions.

The amount of total questions doesn’t change if a correct guess is made, that canvas cannot have objects added from questions anymore.

The goal with this game is to exercise creativity and style. It is not required to be an artist to play and one would only imagine that it would help alter the way one can observe their surroundings.

I didn't had those to the previous reblog, so that the post wouldn't get too heavy, but there is a lot of interesting articles about Andersen and his relationship to Christianity, religion as a whole and various folklores and "paganism". For example...

Of course, the go-to would be the Hans Christian Andersen Center, which has an entire collection of online articles about Religious motifs within Andersen's tales and works:

One of which is, for example, "Andersen and those of other faiths":

There is this very interesting article by Forward taking a look at Andersen's view on Judaism through his story "The Jewish Girl":

It is more of a side-mention within the article, but there is this very interesting article about how Hans Christian Andersen was received in China and is seen through Chinese culture:

JSTOR has "Critical Reflections about Hans Christian Andersen, the Failed Revolutionary"

https://www.jstor.org/stable/41388797

(A bit short and incomplete but) Toronto Metropolitan University has a page for an exposition about the Little Mermaid, and it evokes the religious influences:

(Not very much about religion but I'll still add it) The Hans Andersen fairy tale, on "CatholicIreland.net"

"Religious Views in Hans Christian Andersen's Works", on Wiley's Online Library

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1600-0730.2007.00880.x#:~:text=Since%20Hans%20Christian%20Andersen%20has,Christianity%20has%20often%20been%20questioned.
