hello, i just want you to know that i recently played awakening and am so obsessed with and insane over the way you write chrobin. thanku sm for being generous enough to share your writing cause i've reread your fics so often in the past week i risk sounding clinically insane. on a side note, the specific way you write them reminds me of the song "reckless driving" by lizzy mcalpine, if that makes any sense. many thanks again, and i hope you're doing great <3

AaAAAAaaaahh, thank you SO much!! 😭💖 Not kidding when I say getting messages like this is huge part of the reason I share my work in the first place. I very much remember how all consuming the ship thoughts were just after playing my first chrobin run of Awakening--I really *needed* to read / think about 100 different ways they could fall in love and that their relationship could play out to cope LOL. I am so thrilled that my fics have been able to help fill that role for you!! And also that you like them enough you'd want to read them more than once in the first place dfjgdf that's a huge compliment and means more to me than I really know how to say 💜

Also this song !!!!!!! Omg I've never heard it before but I already love it after one listen and can definitely see why you would think of it! The lyrics very much capture that misalignment in how I like to write about Chrom and Robin approaching love / their feelings for each other. There are quite a few lines in here that make me feel CRAZY when applied to Chrobin (in a very good way). Also I love that despite the fact that the female part is insisting like "I don't love you like that and it'll kill us if I don't let you go" with the implication that she's going to HAVE to let him go to save them both, like--the song still ends with that abrupt cut off implying that she *wasn't* able to bring herself to let go in time and AaAAAAA. God. Losing my mind over Them 🥹

Thank you again for taking the time to send me such a lovely message! I saw the notification just after waking up and it made for a really wonderful start to my day! Hope you're doing great too! 😊

(I know you're already tagged, but here's mine anyway) Fanwork creators self rec! When you get this, reply with your five favorite fics/art/podfics/etc. that you've made, then pass on to others. Let’s spread the self-love 🌼

lol yeah I was gonna do it since I got the tag from @lullabyes22-blog but I will consider myself double-tagged

I only have 8 works on my ao3 lol let's go

bloom (Arcane; Caitlyn/Vi) CaitVi, 750 words, short and to the point. I like this one because I wrote it in like 20 minutes and it really did come out nice. Also, there is a pun, and what can be more me

Guardian Revisited (Fullmetal Alchemist Manga/Brotherhood; Lan Fan/Ling) Also a very quick write. There's just so much potential for yearning with this ship. They're like RoyAi but somehow even more emotionally stunted. Anyway, I think this one came out pretty. It makes me happy to read.

The Fire Next Time (Arcane; Ekko-centric, background Caitlyn/Vi) This is the story I started writing pretty much right after I watched Arcane, though I didn't post it for some months after. I was just feeling really emotional about Ekko lol and how much he must've been through. I was also reading James Baldwin at the time, hence the title lol. While it doesn't really get too deep into the politics, I think the relationship between Ekko and Jinx came out well, and since Ekko willingness to look out for her after everything is the heart of the story, I think it works.

talk revolution to me (Arcane; role-swapped Jinx/Ekko) The big one. It just keeps growing. I don't know. Anyway, after doing The Fire Next Time, I wanted to keep exploring political themes in the setting. I also happened to be wondering at the same time if a role-swap between these two was possible (because we all saw the Mush art okay), and I decided to put those ideas together. I do think it's been lagging a little, but in general it's actually pretty good. I'm working on my self-esteem this year. I can say that, right? Well anyway, I'm really glad a lot of people have found and loved it, and I'm extra glad people really love Powder. It's a lot of fun letting her be the hero of her own story and watching her grow, and the audience participation in terms of helping me write has been a blast.

heir (ap)pparent (Arcane; role-swapped Jinx/Ekko) So where the big story is Powder's, this is Ekko's bonus content story. It all started because I was having such a hard time writing him that I needed to experiment getting in his head, and here we are. I've said it before and I'll say it again lol writing a role-swapped Ekko is a pain in the ass. He's probably the hardest POV character I've ever written, but since the main story is over on Powder's side, I really get to just play around in these chapters and that is certainly very fun. Definitely pushes me to grow as a writer, and I'm having a lot of fun with the prose and style.

okay tag time @shokuto (wanna see your fave pieces) @jackalmeat (dude I didn't even realize you were an artist until we'd been mutuals for a while plz share art lol) @typewriteringalaxy (really curious as to your faves) @hungryistrying (same; also curious as to what your faves are)

Tag game

I got tagged in a tag game for the first time in 5 years or smth. I feel nostalgic. Thank you @quil12 ! These questions are all food for thought. truly

If you could ratatouille (control the movements of by sitting on top of, transformed to a size where the mass ratio between you and the animal is approximately that of a rat to a human) any animal, which would you pick and what would you do?

How long would it take you to eat your weight in zucchini, assuming each zucchini weighs approximately a pound?

Top five favorite lizards

What specific dishes do you care about enough to grow everything require for in the event of supply line collapse? How feasible is this for your location or expected location, or are u gonna move to make it happen?

I wanna ratatouille my cats and make sure they clean their mess up!! Also theyre soft and I wanna touch them at all times!

Too long. I enjoy zucchini but I can only eat like half of it per meal and not every day pls. So... umm forever?

this is in no particular order god bless them all 1. Bossk Star war 2. Mushu Mulan 3. Salazzle Pokemon (she stays serving) 4. Pascal Tangled 5. Flick Animal Crossing

I think life will collapse if strawbebbies cease to exist. What am i supposed to do then... I can grow thwm cuz i live in an apartment with a balcony ig but a garden would be preferred obviously. I need myself a farm for this one.

hungryistrying's fanfiction masterlist

multi-chapter fics:

jinx’s perfect guide to ruining loving relationships

summary:

"I'm going on a double date with my sister and need to bring my boyfriend."

"So?" Ekko frowns at her, failing to understand how he's part of her master plan.

"So, smartass," she flicks his forehead, hilariously causing his frown to deepen, "I'll need a fake boyfriend. Which would be you."

Ekko looks at her as if she's grown two heads. He opens his mouth. And promptly closes it. Then Jinx sees his throat bob as he swallows. Is his throat dry or something? Must be the warm weather. She'll bring him a water bottle later to prove what a considerate fake girlfriend she could be.

Jinx devises a brilliant plan to break up her sister and her girlfriend. All she needs is a fake boyfriend so she has a valid reason to crash all their dates. Easy peasy! (Un)fortunately for Jinx, things do not go as planned.

part one: maybe we can try it if you let me

summary:

She’ll just show up – blow off the poor loser who Vi surely must’ve threatened into going on a date with a walking human disaster – and then she can go back to her regularly scheduled programming of watching Spanish telenovelas she doesn’t understand, but cheering every time the wife plans an elaborate revenge scheme on her cheating husband. All while ignoring the 30-page thesis paper she has only 2 weeks left to start on because she loves living on the edge.

In which Jinx gets set up on a blind date and is determined to have a horrible time. Until she actually meets him.

part two: it takes you and me to make us

summary:

"This is kind of random,” at the sound of his voice, Jinx’s eyes flicker up at him, “but do you want kids?"

At his unexpected question, she abruptly sits up straight, looking at him in bewilderment while she can hear the Windows error sound play on repeat in her head as she tries to formulate a response. Ekko continues to play with her hair, patiently waiting for her answer.

"I have twenty-two cents on my bank account and a Dorito chip in my pocket," is what she ends up blurting, brain still empty.

They've been together for a year now, which is the longest Jinx has ever been in a relationship. Still, she wasn't prepared for Ekko to start talking about their possible future.

part one: and i'll do anything you say (if you say it with your hands)

summary:

“We stopped being friends the moment you decided to work for Silco.”

“That hurts my feelings, you know?” He further closes in on her, barely a hairbreadth apart as he whispers. “I still care about you a lot.”

She glares at him, ignoring the painful pang she feels in her chest at his admission. “Did you care about the innocent people you hurt and killed for him too?”

“But not you." He leans in closer until his nose is brushing against hers. “Never you.”

They've been enemies ever since Powder established the Firelights and Ekko became Silco's left-hand man. But it could never be quite that simple between the two of them. For what are love and hate, if not two sides of the same coin?

summary:

And rationally, she understands she should pay it no mind and give him the cold shoulder if he tries to proposition her again. Unfortunately, rationality tends to fly out the window when Ekko gets a little too close to her.

if they ain't talking we ain't doing it right

summary:

"You know," Jinx starts, one eye closed in concentration so she can focus on his makeup, "people are shipping us."

"Seriously?" Ekko replies, trying very hard to stay perfectly still so she doesn't get annoyed if his makeup gets messed up.

"Yeah, they even have a ship name for us. Timebomb."

He would roll his eyes if that movement didn't require too many facial muscles. "Now I know you're just fucking with me."

Their relationship is supposed to be a secret, but at this point, Ekko just wants to hold his girlfriend's hand when they walk outside.

i'm so down for you

summary:

“I’m going on a date,” Jinx says as if she’s getting executed.

“Okay?” Vi confusedly asks, taking a seat on the edge of Jinx’s bed.

“With Ekko.”

“Oh,” Vi smiles at her, which is definitely not the reaction Jinx needs right now, “congrats. I’m sure you’re going to have fun.”

Jinx groans again, pulling at her braids in annoyance.

For reasons that were definitely beyond her control, Jinx ended up agreeing to go on a "practice date" with her lifelong friend Ekko.

my roommate (f24) is trying to blue ball me (m25) to death

summary:

Jinx's head whirled back in Ekko's direction and she glared at him. "Oh, so I'm not sexy?"

After contemplating ditching all of them and just driving home by himself, he decided against it and deadpanned, "I literally didn't say anything."

"Your silence speaks volumes." She scoffed.

Jinx is his best friend and roommate, and he's been in love with her for as long as he can remember. That aside, she's also determined to put Ekko in an early grave.

stay cool, it's just a kiss

summary:

“So, you know…howI’veneverkissedanyonebefore,” she quickly mumbles, ignoring the way she can feel her face warming up.

“You realize I got no clue what you just said, right?” Ekko deadpans.

With a frustrated groan, she shoots upright and exclaims, “I’ve never kissed anyone!”

A beat of silence. He just blankly stares at her and Jinx is contemplating the quickest way to die. Then he bursts out into laughter.

Jinx is feeling a little insecure because she hasn't had her first kiss yet. Ekko helps.

it would be a hundred times easier (if we were young again)

summary:

"How about," he swallows, and Jinx's eyes are drawn to the bobbing of his throat, "we call a truce?"

Her eyes snap back up to his face, and she mockingly grins. "Oh? You don't wanna kill me?"

"Haven't decided yet," he shoots back. "Let's make it out of here alive first and raincheck that." 

And Jinx's grin widens at his response. She's always loved playing with Ekko because he's so good at playing with her too.

Jinx loves picking a fight wherever she goes. Ekko just so happened to be along for the ride.

I don't think I even have 9 people to tag but here goes

Meme - tag nine people

tagged by @world-smitten!

Three ships: ooh um Leorio/Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter, for one. Fell for that ship hard and it only takes me like 2 minutes to fall for them all over again. "Ball of self-destructive righteous anger" + "guy who wants to be a doctor to treat people for free"??? chef's kiss

Ling/Lan Fan from Fullmetal Alchemist. That's my niche pair for the show. I, like probably everyone, read the fic Swallows on the Beam and have never been the same, so that's fun

and my current ship obsession, Ekko/Jinx from Arcane. Grabbed me by the throat. Don't even know what happened. I went out of my first viewing only shipping CaitVi and this one pounced on me from the shadows. It's fun, and the CaitVi part of the fandom is already very active so I like having another ship where I feel like I'm contributing more lmao

First ship: probably like Robin/Starfire from Teen Titans? Or some of the ships in ATLA? (ironically not the cannon ones beside Sukka. Sukka is cute). Shipped those before I knew what shipping was lol

Last song: Free Mind by Tems. Wanna learn to sing it...

Last film: Glass Onion and BOY did I have a good time lol

Currently reading: The ones I'm making the most progress on recently are Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches by Audre Lorde and The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks.

Currently watching: the Chinese show Guardian and Abbott Elementary

Currently consuming: last thing I had was stir fry lol

Currently craving: there's like an extremely specific cookie

um anyway hi @shokuto @typewriteringalaxy @arrowdite @hannibalcatharsis-zero @hungryistrying hmmmmm those are all my fandom mutuals lol
