#I don’t feel like I talk about my niche blorbos on here enough but I would love to know if anyone has any blorbo-in-laws bc of me 🥺

Blorbo-in-laws are so fun. I wouldn’t have found this guy (gender neutral) on my own, but now I love them because my mutual loves them. Please tell me all about them my friend, me knowing them begins and ends with you and I love to see you happy <3

Don’t you DARE feel bad about not posting something frequently enough. This is Tumblr ffs! We’re all just a bunch of silly people on our stupid little machines, collectively screaming into our niche little voids about our favourite blorbos in our free time. Occasionally, we all group together to scream together in an off-key, yet beautiful harmony.

You’re a writer (yes you are!) who has blessed us gremlins by posting your brains worms as amazing metas and fics, for FREE, so that we may consume them and rejoice together! Tumblr posting isn’t a job you’re being paid to fulfill on a deadline, it’s a hobby and creative outlet that you partake in your free time that just so happens to make other random people on the internet very happy.

Anyone who makes you feel bad about taking a break or not posting “frequently enough” is acting like an entitled asshole, and they can go write their own metas and fics if they’re displeased by your output (Oh wait! They can’t! Because they don’t have your talent and have to resort to bullying others to make up for their lack of creativity/willingness to put in the fucking work!).

And don’t let your brain trick you into believing that tumblr posting about Halsin is something you owe us silly people! Brains are notoriously bad at having realistic expectations of us! Naughty brain! 🧠🗞️

We’re all here because we love Halsin a normal amount and enjoy talking to people who feel the same way. Unless someone starts paying you a living wage to post on this hell-site every day, don’t feel bad about frequently you’re on here.

…And if some actually did contact you about not posting enough… I want names. ☠️⚰️

Oh anon, truly, thank you!! That was so kind. <3 No one "made" me feel that way- I've only had one incident of someone ever being entitled wrt my posts and that was a whiiiiile back. You guys are lovely. I just worried you guys would be missing my posts, is all. <3

(FWIW I think you will like the next chapters of my fics very much!!)

🍉🍊🍍🍇 for the ask game ^.^ ?

there is a whole basket in here!! thank u sm :D

fruity lil ask game

🍉 - Do you prefer to write short fics or long fics? Multichaptered works or single ones? Why?

for convenience and publishing/interaction i like short fics (easier and faster to get them out, they're one and done so i dont have to worry about them after like a night or two of writing, and they tend to get a higher popularity:effort ratio lol) but i like WRITING long fics, especially with multiple chapters. i have some kind of beast in me that turns what should be short story ideas into full length novels. i get an idea and oobh baby i just get so excited about naming chapters and engineering subplots and making up some nice Motifs and Themes. vide noir and CHTHONIC are good examples honestly, i originally planned for both of them to be single works--so vide noir got weird pacing and then dropped and picked back up as a result and i essentially wrote CHTHONIC in one night, went "oh god this is too fucking long" and chopped it in three pieces. i just like things to have a slow release arc when writing and plotting, so long works with multiple stages and movements are just extremely satisfying for me to both plot and execute lol

🍊- Who’s a character you don’t write for that often, but keep meaning to write for more? (They’re so interesting! But maybe you have trouble pinning them down, or keep getting distracted by another blorbo…)

DOGMAAAA. yeah. sorry everyone who followed me for the url and my early dogma fics. i do have a longfic force sensitive dogma in the works (VERY preliminary works) but i do keep getting distracted lol. i've always wanted to write a hanzo shimada-pov overwatch fic, and i'm really tempted by one day writing a qui-gon or qui-gon-and-obi-wan centric fic.

🍍- What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

i honestly like any au that's real fucking weird or takes a stock au and puts a twist in it (eg i had SUCH a fun time writing chronic illness hanahaki in heavy off a golden hue). even though they usually are my least-read/-commented fics, i also have a huge soft spot for niche fusion aus, like sw in pacific rim dark day/brighter night or sw in overwatch where the stray things go (more coming soon?? perhaps 😌) or the cyberpunk au with empire & the sun .

i usually won't read/write soulmate aus (i did enjoy writing them but both one billion day funeral and give the world away/wake up lonely were both prompt fills) because 1) the base soulmate au contrivance is tedious (IMO. NOTHING WRONG WITH ENJOYING WHAT YOU ENJOY. I SIMPLY DO NOT ENJOY IT) and 2) to me it's simply not worth wading through the oodles of soulmate au to find one that has an interesting "how do you know your soulmate" worldbuilding idea AND handles the whole "soulmate" thing in an interesting manner. i also will never write a time travel fic because i do not like time travel. not really sure what it is but i've always despised time travel as a plot device lol. but i have read a couple that i quite enjoyed (reccing miyaji_08's and back we go and blueberrywizard's i have seen too much (i haven't seen enough) and cjwritesfanficnow's (you were) meant to save them for this) so i'm not the man i once was ....

🍇- What’s your favorite underrated thing in your fandom? (A ship that only you seem to write for, a character there’s almost no fics about, a trope that criminally hasn’t been written yet, etc.)

ouagh i feel like in my time in sw servers and talking to other sw friends that i've gone on and on about stuff that i find underrated but i've forgotten everything i've ever said about star wars now. i'm not really In There but spymaster satine (can't remember who brought this to me, maybe @/deniigi?) e.g. a satine that is a pacific willing to get her hands dirty like, you know, an actual and productive pacifist and not just a "hm .... i simply choose to do nothing" kind of "pacifist." relatedly, and i haven't done much for this so i'm a hypocrite, i'm a padme/satine truther. i also loooooove fics where the GAR structure is changed so the clone commanders have rank over the jedi but criminally i think i've only read like one (GO READ FIRST CHOICE BY SMILEBACKWARDS!!!)
