#GODS i need to work on chapter 11 of (wit)jitp i've spent so much time apart from it

[altruistic-meme]

i didnt realize you rb an ask game until i found out why: question 24 (which you can answer alxhskdhs)

but also i wanna know 5 and 7 :>

dlfhsdlhfsdfh it hid from you how rude

you didn't specify which fics for 5 and 24 so im gonna use (wit)jitp >:]

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now!

mmm i don't know that i have any SPECIFIC questions i wish people would ask, but i would love to be given the chance to go off about literally anything to do with Kevin and Nathaniel's relationship :') so lemme think if i can pinpoint one thing to make into a question......

OKAY SO after scrolling back through some of (wit)jitp (and dying over your comments again as i always do sdkfshkf) there's a moment in chapter 10 where Nathaniel calls Kevin "Kev" which is a new nickname that he hadn't used before. so the question is, "why does Nathaniel call Kevin "Kev"?"

my answer for that: so first, here this the exact passage where he uses the nickname!

Eyes narrowing as he turned towards Kevin, smile still in place, he swung his racquet by his side a few times before holding it out for him to take. “Hey Kev,” Nathaniel drawled, the words sickeningly sweet. “Would you mind getting me a lighter racquet?”

Nathaniel and Kevin actually have multiple nicknames they use for each other, just because it's something my siblings and i also do! though Nathaniel and Kevin's nicknames tend to be situation specific, while my siblings and i will rotate through nicknames relatively frequently. "Neil" and "Day" are grounding nicknames, and "Neil" is a more general nickname as well. but "Kev" specifically is one that Nathaniel uses mostly to fuck with Kevin! he says it "sickeningly sweet" because he's using it to be an annoying little shit. and Kevin knows this, which is why he basically rolls his eyes in response.

[ also side note: i very intentionally used the word "drawled" here bc for some reason i just imagine Nathaniel intentionally using a slight southern accent for this exchange, just to fuck with Kevin. idk why, really, maybe it's the way my family does it too when we're messing with each other lmao ]

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

can i just say all of (wit)jitp???? mostly cus i can't say which aspects specifically without spoiling things we haven't gotten to yet ksdhkshgd a lot of the worldbuilding for (wit)jitp has to do with Nathaniel and his past :') but i am so so happy with everything i have noted down about how things happened to result in the changes we have from canon!!!

just to be a tease tho, one of the things im hugely proud of is very slightly hinted at in the very first chapter, when Sidney comments on Nathaniel "failing to follow orders" regarding his mother, and Nathaniel telling her that he actually did follow his orders that day 👀

24. Are there any easter eggs in [insert fic], and if so, what are they?

tbh i don't think so?? tho i might be thinking of easter eggs wrong... there are a lot of things (see above) that i've hinted at throughout the fic that haven't yet come up, but aren't easter eggs more like... idk things from the outside that are pulled into the story? idk. i don't think there are sldfhshf aside from me pulling like,,, Ape Escape and The Morgue in as references to a conversation with my coworkers and a terrible movie my family watched once, respectively 😂

thank you for this beloved <3
