#I loved this question xD

[elsyrel]

Hi there!! I really love reading your headcanons and you have a great grasp on Lucio and his character! I was wanting to get a better idea of his character too, so I was wondering if you had any thoughts about what makes him most defensive or genuinely angry?

Again, I love your writing and your excellent art!

Hi, thank you for your ask :D!! Mmm... I think the things that would make him defensive and the things that would make him angry would be very different. In my opinion, what makes him defensive is, basically, anything that belittles him or that throws doubts on his worth. Deep down he thinks he's worth nothing, so in the scenario of someone belittling him, he would feel like "the truth he was trying to hide has been discovered", and so he would get nervous or even anxious, trying to convince the other person that he is, actually, amazing (he doesn't believe it himself). He might get aggressive, but it would come from a place of fear, not real anger. Examples of things that would make him defensive: critics to his physical appearance, his behaviour, his worth as a count or as a person, his style or taste in clothes, his abuse of drinks or food, making him feel ridiculous, useless or clumsy, etc. On the other hand, I think something that would make him genuinely angry would be watching something that he truly appreciates/enjoy in danger. If something is obvious, is that Lucio LOVES feeling pleasure and having fun, and he has a biiiiiig lack of affection. So he values anything that makes the worries/pain go away... and when that pleasure is in danger, he gets angry. It can go from a childish tantrum (the party he was so hype about is cancelled), to a real state of rage (someone he loves is in danger). We can see this, for example, when at the end of his own rute, everyone is discussing about the possibility of the MC becoming the devil... and he goes MAD. He defends MC with rage, because someone who loves him and makes him happy is in danger, and he feels it as something unfair. So, examples of things that would make him angry: something he likes being canceled (a party, feast, event...), someone wasting something he likes (spilling his drink, messing up his clothes, losing his favourite dagger...). And then, examples of things that would make him FURIOUS: MC being in serious danger, someone hurting Mercedes or Melchior, or even someone being mean to animals. That's the way I see it!! I hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it!!

Hi, Meep :) I was looking (once again hehe) at your cryptid boys design and I noticed that they have one pretty sharp claw on their feet. Is that a spur or is it another special pinky kind of deal? I love picking your brain about anatomy for your monsters, hope that's alright ❤️ Anyways, hope your day is going good, babe!

Hi Naff! ❤️

You know I can't say no to anatomy questions! And I definitely cannot answer them simply ether XD

Let's talk demon paws!✨

My cryptid boys' feet are very theropod dinosaur like, but with all 5 toes intact instead of the typical 3 full toes + 2 vestigial/reduced toes.

The big sickle-shaped claws are not spurs, they're huge claws attached to the innermost digit of their feet. They act pretty much the same as a Dromaeosaur's sickle claws, but they're placed a little differently.

These claws are mostly used for pinning down things on the ground. They're also great slicing and stabbing weapons if the arms are occupied, injured or pinned.

These claws are always suspended above the ground, even in their most relaxed state. This keeps them from getting dull and dirty.

Range of flexibility:

And some extra doodles cause I like drawing these paws X3

Thank you for picking at my brain! XD I love having to put everything anatomy related that's in my head into text and drawing form, it's a very fun exercise!

Aww! My day is going well, I hope yours is too❤️❤️❤️

Guys, I just decided to randomly search up Carmen Sandiego on Tumblr, why is everyone talking about whether Carmen has ass or not? 😭😭😭

Btw, for those who care about my opinion, Carmen totally has ass. That woman is a queen with a big ass 👑

I'm SO intrigued by Aphra in the Hades folder. My sapphic heart yearns for more Aphra content she's so good

@doublesunsets was "also *ahem* mighty curious" about this Wip, so here you go :) Thanks for asking! <3

When I was looking for more characters to add to this AU (especially female characters, because let’s face it, I’m seriously lacking in that department so far, and I can only blame Star Wars for that until a certain point, after a while it’s just on me) a very kind anon suggested to me that Aphra would be a great choice for Charon’s role, so here she is! (Except I totally forgot to add a pouch/satchel to her side overflowing with scrolls and other looted artifacts… someone please remind not to forget that again, because as soon as I hit the post button here, I’m pretty sure I will 😅) so here she is, as a very red rough sketch for now for the Hades AU, ready to try and extort Din in exchange for some information on the sunshine farm boy Jedi he is looking for :3

20 Questions For Writers

Wow, thank you so much for the tag @fanfictasia !! I've wanted to participate in something like this forever!! 🎶✨️✨️

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Right now? 66.

"Yes, as a star wars writer, I am very proud of that. No, I do not intend to change it anytime soon."

I really need to focus on (and finish) some of my WIPs, and that mean trying not to disperse my energy amidst one shots (no matter how much i love monthly challenges and fic exchange events). Also I'm very proud of that 66 count and want to appreciate it xd.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

321k words!!

(More or less 100k / year 🎶 little me would never believe that 0.0

My school exam results sure don't, with how they are dropping 🤣)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Star wars mostly (Vaderkin or my OC Sinvulkt), then Marvel (Dr Strange), Dream SMP (Dream), Le Visiteur du Future (Renard) and more recently Batman (Bruce Wayne) as well as Avatar: the last airbender (Zuko).

Plus the original stories I am supposed to write but almost never end up doing xd (the engagement in fandom compared to original stories make the switch hard xd).

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. Dreamt of a Never Ending Sky (Dream SMP)

669 kudos

2. To Fly Free Under The Morning Sun (Star Wars)

480 kudos

3. On the Edge of Twilight (Star Wars)

380 kudos

4. Scales of Embers (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

353 kudos

5. Crash Landing on Space Australia (Star Wars)

319 kudos

I'll never know how my Dream SMP fic got so much engagement. Good timing at a moment the fandom was in effervescence, I guess. Scales of Embers scoring so high is also a surprise 0.0. I discovered it had that many kudos today. It’s a shame the Dr Strange fandom is small because I think my Dr Strange WIP What If Doctor Strange Lost His Humanity ? would have deserved a place here. It definitely does in my heart.

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

I try to! As a reader, I always feel super happy when the author shows that they’ve read and appreciated my comments. I know that personality an author who answers make me more likely to want to drop a comment.

As an author, I absolutely want to show how much I love every single comments, so I try to answer them all. But I get a little overwhelmed sometimes, bcs lots of other stuff going on irl or another reason. As such, it can happen that I don't feel the energy to answer a comment on the spot. And if I don't answer it on the spot (using the power of the wiggy dizzy nice happy feeling of getting a comment), I don't necessarily have the energy to answer later on. I currently have something like 60 unanswered comments I think? TT.TT

But rest assured that whether I answered or not, I absolutely adore and cherish every single ones!! Comments are amazing! ✨️.✨️

(This kind of engagement is one of the only reason I managed to settle into such an active rythm of writing after years of trying then dropping the hobby~)

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

Glance at my fics.

Uhhh... This is a hard question here... Many of them have angsty endings XD

Mostly the ones at the beginning (the worst written ones xd). I wonder why~

Also a lot of them don' have endings yet XD

I'll say amidst the 'old' fics from 2021, Day 8 - Screaming (Star Wars) would be the angstier one (or most horrible one ig xd).

But as far as recent fic go... While I haven't finished writing it bcs its wordcount exploded in my face, I already plotted / drafted it a few months ago and I know the ending, so I'll choose:

Batman’s Downfall (To Stand Alone) (Batman)

I noticed my kind of angst doesn’t have much success around these parts 🫠🤣. Oh well. I cherish it all the same :3.

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

Sometimes I think I wrote too many fics. It's hard to select one.

Uhhh... My fluffiest works are one shots in Of Feathers and Freedom serie, but they are part of the series so it’s not really an 'ending'.

...

I'll answer for the crackiest story rather than the happiest ending bcs all my finished fics ending are ominous open ending at best xd.

The Blob Adventures Of Excentrics Jedi (Star Wars)

Because it's cute blob drawings of our crazy team of OC in taaoej, and I love them (although we are all angst lovers in taaoej, so it's more crack-angst, and we don't know the ending bcs there isn't really one. Not yet at least. Hopefully never).

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

Just my own innervoice as far as I'm aware. But then I've always been rather clueless when people tried to 'hate on me'. The message usually just got lost somewhere in dreamspace immensity, never computing.

I've found the fandoms communities really welcoming at the very least!!

9. Do you write smut?

No.

I don't really enjoy reading smut. Nor romance for the matter. I don't think I'd enjoy writing it.

But maybe I'll try one day, for the sake of experimenting all genres.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I never did. I don't know why. Maybe I just never felt the need to mix characters and universes. There are amazing crossovers out there though, so who knows, maybe one day I'll try one.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of. In all honesty, I don't think my works are nearly popular enough to get stolen xd.

My writing style isn’t that good yet, and my dislike of romance when the majority of the fandom community is ship-powered means I end up in a corner quite niche. (A corner I love, that being said. Yay Crack, Angst and Gen~)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but maybe I'll translate some of mine in french someday. Be it only so that I do write fiction in my native language from time to time.

Anyone that wanna translate my fics, feel free to!!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yes, To Fly Free Under The Morning Sun (Star Wars)!!

I’m still waiting for my co-author @purpleopossum to come back to me / get back in star wars mood to continue that one. 🫠

Can’t say my hopes are that high up after all this time, but it’s the redemption | healing part of the serie and I don’t really have fun writing alone redemption | healing part... i prefer doing the whole mayhem that create the injury in the first place. And with how long some of my fics hiatus are (and I got no excuse for those xd), it’s only fair for me to wait. (I did write more other works for the dragon Vader serie in the meantime xd).

I made an oath to myself to never leave a work unfinished though, so we’ll see. If in several years purple still doesn’t wish to continue it, or if she inform me she is dropping the story, I’ll try to make some kind of ending. It’s part of the game i guess.

Alternatively, the The Amazing Adventures Of Excentrics Jedi universe is a group of star wars OCs that we made together with @pat-the-togorian , @asteral-feileacan , @ct2002-rema and Xylian. I don’t know if that count as co-writing? We usually write our OCs pov.

But in all cases, co-writting is very fun and I’d definitely do it again if other opportunities arise in the future.

14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?

The absence of ship is my all-time favorite ship. Otherwise, "main character / digging their own grave" would be my 'favorite ship' since I tend to synch with idiots snarky jerks disasters.

15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

To Fly Free Under The Morning Sun (Star Wars) that I mentioned for question 13? 🤣

More seriously, I'll answer On the Edge of Twilight (Star Wars)

Because it's my vent fic. I know the main plot line, I vaguely know the current arc, but no one can predict where the next arc will go. It's all pure impulse and while I have a vague idea of 'ending', I refuse to plan a path towards it. This fic specifically, I want to keep pure impulse. So I'd love for it to become some kind of "The NeverEnding Story". :3

16. What’s your writing strengths?

I write.

No seriously, it's not something I did four years ago appart from vent poems here and there. Writing is in itself a huge writing strenght!

Otherwise I'm also a bottomless well of idea. It's pretty neat.

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

... romance?

Or dialogues. Lastly I have a lot of frustration around the transition from dialogue / transition / dialogue. I feel like I'm crap at properly timing that.

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

It's fun. I do it for games sometimes. Since apparently writing normally is not chllenging enough for my brain sometimes. It did teach me bits of mando'a.

Recently for Sēċan (Star Wars) I decided last minute to put the whole droid dialogue in morse, and I regret none of it.

I'm usually only doing it for one shots though, and never 'official existing' languages until now.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Star wars :p

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Now that's another hard question, how am I supposed to select one.

I'm gonna answer the whole Of Feathers And Freedom (Star Wars) serie. Bcs wings. :3

(Or to ignore the tagging if not interested xd).

I know I tagged. I lot of people. Some of you may recognise my pseud, some may not. But I thought it would be interesting to hear the answer of the various authors with whom I interacted on ao3 over the years, so I went and digged up those with tumblr I could find from my inbox 🤣

(Hopefully I didn’t bother any of you >.< - otherwise I apologize. Same for if I accidentally tagged a non-writer.)

I'd love to hear your answers! 🎶

[cuddlebugmonster]

Hemlo bugs! I'm really curious about your TAH au, is there any more info about it? I just thought that there's a really funny sailor moon meme that could fit your Au in it. Specifically

With the Usati fam. What do you think ?👀👀

Oh well my TAH AU is basically the love story of Leo and usagi, enemies to lovers trope. This doesn’t happen in my au but it would be a very funny side story XD Leo being freaked out while usagi just embraces it, I would love to see them both meet pyonpyon while their still friends so pyonpyon tries to get them together XD

She would be so baffled that her dad’s weren’t madly in love from the first time they met

TAH is basically one part of my brain that i wanted to get out XD if you have a more specific question about my AU i would be happy to answer

[pixlokita]

Hey Pix, how do you think 3 star Vanessa and Gregory see each other? Does Gregory think of Vanessa as a big sister, auntie or parental figure and vice versa for her?

they are

Found family babeyyyy!!!

[thedeafprophet]

random Jamie questions! what genre(s) do they write in? :0 or like, what's their favorite genres? do they have favorite tropes to write, or tropes they're particularly known for? do they ever write (in one way or another) about their. uhhhh. love life? or do they ever incorporate things that have happened to them in the Neath into their stories?

my main Rowen is also an author and they're like, a sell-out, they write about whatever trends and in whatever genres are popular month-to-month. they wouldn't dare publish any of their work that's too personal to their actual life and feelings (Rowen would rather die than risk being Seen and Known lol). so I'm interested in what other author characters write about! :)

Well... typicallly...

Jamie is most often a gothic romance writer, or just gothic or romance in general, though they will often dive into adventure stories, or fairytale like stories too. They've writen a lot of poetry in the past too.

But the romance is def a major theme - in part their way of exploring the concept of 'romance' from their unknowing aro-spec perspective - which is a bit of A Thing, given that 'respectable' folks don't usually publically speak on ready anything potentially raunchy.

They tend to lean into explorations of power dynamics, fear, and mystery wrapped all into together. Something compelling, like a train crash you just can't look away from. (...similar, in part, to the things im writing about with them lmao). they like to explore on a thematic level of what its like to get lost - in a place, in a person, in what it means to be yourself.

I def think theres some bleed through between their experiences and their writing. Especially if they;ve been particularly annoyed by someone - you may find an annoying antagonists in their next short story with oftly familiar description. Nothing that could ever be directly proven, mind you, but most certainly some potential influences...

...and, well. I don't think they write about Princesses and Knights as much anymore. Some types of fairytales just no longer work for them, and the stories they would want to tell would be far too personal, and would never make it past the censors anyways.

mmmm that tracks! While I wouldnt call Jamie a sellout specifically, they are absolutely molded by the publics expectations, and often dont write neccesarily what they want to write. And thats before getting into the fact that the ministry of public decency has a particular bone to pick with Jamie, oof. Getting their stuff published at all was a struggle for a bit.

And their role as poet laureate came with expectations and tasks as well, along with dragging them further into the demands of high society. So suffice to say, theres a significant heavy hand from various sources influencing what Jamie actually gets around to writing.
