hello! I just have to say that I have fallen head-over-heels in love with what you’ve shared of your CodyWan pirate AU (the tension! the drama!) and I’m ~dying~ to read more! Do you have plans to post it anytime soon?
Ahhh hello!!! Thank you so much for this message and for the very generous interest in the Pirate AU!!! It's so encouraging and motivating to hear the snips feel enticing enough to whet the appetite for more. <3<3<3
The current plan for the fic involves four chapters and an epilogue, and because I cannot write in a straight line for love or gold doubloons, I will have to finish the whole thing before I start posting. Unfortunately, I also haven't been able to make a ton of progress on fic lately because I've been pulled away by the writing I have to do for my job (rude). But I can tell you that Pirate AU is currently in my top-three most active WIPs. The incredible @frostbitebakery has been collabing on some gorgeous character designs. And I would also love to offer you an additional snip, from the very start of the fic, to help sweeten the waiting period:
Of all the dangers that could befall a post-captain in the Coruscant Navy in the first months of a new commission, happening across a Geonosian man of war was bad; a run-in with pirates was worse; and any encounter with the pirate known as Kenobi was the most lethal by far. 
So, of course, the first thing Captain Cody Fett saw when his ship rounded the Cape of Carida after a near escape from a hundred-gun Geonoasian frigate was the winged blade on Kenobi’s flag. 
And the second was the pirate corsair’s cannons, fully manned and arrayed directly in their path.
Cody had let the pirates board. He’d had few other options. There was no room and no time to bring his own sloop around safely in the rocky shoals of the Cape, and the ship had already sustained damage to the hull in the skirmish with the Geonosians. 
The men had taken their share of hits too: Cody could still feel the evidence in the thick thumb of pain prodding his left side - the place where he’d felt the shattered metal from a dislodged long gun slice its way through his skin.

I was reading “Complex Inquires” and I wanted to shout out one of my favorite lines so far! “The laugh had been a perfect imitation of Sonic’s. It hadn’t been aware that it still possessed the data for that.” Anyway, it reminded me of the OVA metal sonic and how metal was made from Sonic’s (dna?,data?, whatever) and was becoming like sonic near the end of the movie. What are your thoughts on it? For me, just the thought of Sonic’s personality being so fundamental to metal personality’s and that metal is simultaneously sonic and not sonic is so intriguing to me.
First of all, thank you so much for reading!! This ask honestly made my day. I'm so happy that's one of your favorite lines. It's one of mine too.
If you've been reading Complex Inquiries, you'll know that my version of Metal Sonic does not think of itself as Sonic, even going so far as to refer to itself by the name "Unit MS-1" instead of "Metal Sonic". And this kind of plays into my own personal interpretation of Metal Sonic, which is different than how canon and most fanon interprets things.
See, I don't think Metal Sonic is Sonic. Not in the slightest. Not even in the OVA, where Metal is explicitly made from an exact copy of Sonic's data, so much so that they have a mental link. Metal Sonic isn't Sonic.
Even if Metal Sonic is based piece-by-piece off of Sonic's data, he's still a different person due to the circumstances of his creation. A Sonic that is controlled by Eggman, that has Eggman's code in his brain, just isn't the same person as the original Sonic, especially if they both exist simultaneously. Those different experiences make Metal a unique individual. This is why I don't find the "Metal Sonic is Sonic roboticized" theory personally compelling: does it really matter who Metal Sonic used to be, if what he is now is completely different from our organic boy in blue?
And to say something even more controversial- I'm personally not a fan of interpretation that Metal Sonic thinks he's the original or that he would even want to be the original Sonic if given the opportunity. Not in a literal sense, anyway. I just don't think that Metal could ever want to become the very thing that he's programmed to despise. Sonic is a pathetic organic while Metal is of superior design. Sonic is a "hero" who cares about "saving people", while Metal has no such weaknesses. There's a very distinct line that Metal draws between Sonic and himself. It's almost a necessity given how much of Metal's identity revolves around killing him.
Rather, it's the role that Sonic has that Metal covets so badly. In Metal's perfect world, Sonic never existed at all- only Metal. Only Metal to be the fastest thing alive, the strongest, the best. No one would mention Sonic. No one would make the comparison, because there is no comparison to be made. Everyone would finally recognize that Metal is not a faker, or a copy, or a failure, or-
It's not about "being Sonic".
It's about being free from Sonic.
Which, I don't know about you, sounds to me an awful lot like an individual clawing for his own sense of identity in the shadow of the person he was made to imitate.
It is also something that you couldn't waterboard out of Metal Sonic if you tried.

Hey there Alondra, I wanted to say thank you. I’m so grateful for “Nonviolent Communication,” and your portrayal of Miguel. So often is the character cast in a bad light, and it crushes me, because he has become so important to me now. He deserves happiness, and through your story, he gets there. Your writing evokes a tender feeling no one else can replicate, and helps fulfill the desire to watch him learn that he’s loved unconditionally. I thank you for that too, it makes my heart soar. Cheers!
Omg, nonnie!! Thank you for this lovely ask!!! 🥰🥺
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!! I’m so, so, so touched that you’re grateful for “Nonviolent Communication” and my portrayal of Miguel. Every time a reader tells me this, I feel like my heart is going to explode with happiness and pride!! Nothing makes me happier as a writer than to receive such lovely, beautiful compliment!! Seriously!!! I want to cry, as our reader often says, “happy tears” right now!! Thank you!! (Also, sorry for the overwhelming use of exclamation marks, I'm just so touched by your words and that's the only way I can express it through text 😭🥹)
I’ve said it so many times now I feel like a broken record, but I’m more than happy that so many of you appreciate the way I write Miguel as it’s been on purpose. As the story began and continues to flesh out, I’ve tried my best to give him “justice” by writing him in a way I hope is somewhat realistic to his character, and giving him some much needed healing and love.
I know exactly what you mean by him oftentimes being depicted in a negative light! It crushes me, too, because he’s truly become so important to me! This is the first time I’ve been this involved with a character before, or cared so much about one. 😭 Even my family have mentioned that I seem to care way too much about Miguel and the fact I haven't stopped since watching the movie, but I can’t help it!
I genuinely just want him to be happy and unlearn his notions of being unlovable and unworthy of love, happiness, and friendships. 🥺 I can only hope that I achieve half of this through my writing!
Also, your comment on my writing evoking a feeling of tenderness not replicable, and also fulfilling the desire for him to learn that he’s loved unconditionally (he’s so, so, so loved!!) - I - wow, omg!!! I’m crying at this right now!! That’s so sweet of you!! 💕💕 Thank you so much!!!
I'm truly so touched by your words, nonnie! Thank you so, so, so much!!! Your kind words have made my whole month and given me so much happiness, I’m actually shedding a few tears right now!!! 🥹💕
Thank you for this sweet ask and such lovely words!! I hope you’re having a lovely day/night, nonnie!!!🫶🏼💕
Alondra❤️

Ok so from piarles...who fell first and who fell harder 👀
(this ask is in reference to this post i reblogged a week or so ago)
and what an excellent question, anon!! it made me grin so much when i first saw it, because if there's one thing i absolutely LOVE, it's talking about my ship opinions/characterisations/headcanons, etc etc. ESPECIALLY lately, when my writing brain is a bit offline, and all i can do is think and daydream...
anyways. SO: to actually answer your question, dear anon, i honestly think that a very compelling argument could be made for having this both ways around. it depends on the setting you're going for (canon-adjacent or AU, the specific background of that fic, etc etc...)
with that said, though - personally, i have a big soft spot for "charles fell first, pierre fell harder." i love the idea of charles (who, perpetual middle child that he is, always looked up to & admired pierre when they were younger) then growing up and realising that fuck, pierre has been different to everyone else all along, and it's because charles has loved him all along. simultaneously, pierre grows up to be a bit of a whore (affectionate) and he sleeps with a whole bunch of people until it SUDDENLY hits him, almost out of the blue, that the only person he wants forever is charles.
and like this excellent post said: charles has been living with his feelings/trying to ignore them for much longer, while pierre is hit by them full-force out of the blue - and he proceeds to be incredibly possessive and insane about charles. (that, incidentally, is ALSO one of my most favourite tropes - pierre being possessive and insane about charles.)
so yeah! i am definitely on team "charles fell first, pierre fell harder" - but like i said, i do think this trope can be done BRILLIANTLY no matter which way around you do it!
what do YOU think, anon? what's your soft spot? 👀😍

hey, my name is emily. your account is really great, you’re like too smart.
i introduced my mum to teen wolf and she’s been watching for the past few months. we just finished s5 and you need to hear this.
basically, i asked her off hand do you like liam and theo? and she was like yeh i really like liam and gave all her reasoning. she said she didn’t like theo. and she hasn’t seen s6 yet so i was like okay valid.
but even so, i asked her why. and her response is something else. she went on a whole spiel. these were her exact words (p.s. she’s a bit of a character):
“the guy has three metal doctors who are like supernatural encyclopaedias and an entire lab of a chemicals and gadgets and materials and information and chimeras and all that jazz. and he chooses to become an free escort and learn how to fake cry to make his ends meet? like you have all of that and you couldn’t think of anything else? crying and acting like an escort is what people in the 1700s are on the streets did to make a living because they had no other option. he has all of this and he couldn’t think of anything else? …”
she said some other stuff that i don’t remember but i remembered this word for word because its so funny.
hi emily!! first of all, thank you! this is seriously so sweet, i loved getting this message :( i was like "wow. someone watched tw with their mom and had the thought 'tumblr user theninth09 needs to hear about this.'" im honored, like actually!
and thank you again for sharing this with me, because this is hilarious. actually laughed at your mom calling theo a 1700s escort like nsiebwjs omg??? he really is, i fucking can't 😭 because im me, ill briefly rant about the reasons why theo acts like that instead of trying to find a different solution. this is absolutely nothing against your lovely mom, i think shes hilarious and i 100% get why people dont like theo in s5!! gladly let me know if she changes her opinion about him as you watch s6 and i hope she has fun watching <3
funnily enough, i actually think she answered her question with her own words. "crying and acting [...] because [he] had no other option." theo grew up with the dread doctors, they groomed him into the person that he is. he must've learned how to act like that over the years, they must've trained him into doing whatever they want. so its not really him "choosing" to act like that, but rather that hes 1. so used to it that he doesnt even consider there being another option and 2. the doctors Expect from him that he does that. i know that theo seems like this guy that just does whatever he wants, especially in s5b. but the doctors hold a lot of power over him and hes absolutely not unaffected by that. hes actively scared of them and listens to everything they say.
when theo speaks with donovan (the guy that stiles later accidentally kills) he says that the doctors dont usually let him speak to other experiments. meaning that this time, they did allow him. he doesnt ignore their orders: if hes forbidden from doing something, he doesnt do it. he only talks to donovan because he got the doctors approval for that. when he tells the doctors that he needs hayden alive, that he needs more time (he also literally says I did everything you wanted in this same scene) just the doctors turning to look at him is enough to scare him. he takes a step back, it almost looks like there are tears in his eyes, he doesnt try to argue again even though hes obviously not happy.
when him, scott and liam find mason attached to the doctors tube-thing (or whatever that thing was) theo says that he doesnt know either what that is: the doctors dont tell him everything, perhaps forbid him from touching certain things, keep him in the dark about stuff they consider too important. theo and the dread doctors aren't allies, theo isn't with the doctors. theo is like their pet, their minion. they use him and tell him what to do and only as long as he doesn't interfere with their work, they tolerate him trying to reach his own goal. they classify him as a failure despite him not having bled mercury and theos voice shakes, hes terrified as he says "im not a failure."
yes, theo talks back and hes arrogant and impulsive. but hes also a traumatized child that more or less got raised by the dread doctors. he doesnt try to figure out a different way to reach his goal, because he doesnt even consider it a possibility. hes scared of the repercussions. and also: lets say none of what i just said is relevant (or true, im aware that some of this goes into subtext/headcanon territory.) then there'd actually still be a reason why he doesn't use the dread doctors stuff: he doesn't want to.
his main goal, his desire is to become a real werewolf. that's what's most important to him. after he gets the chimera pack, he says to the doctors, frustrated, that hes still not an actual alpha, that his eyes are still golden. when he kills scott, he asks "because im not a real werewolf?" with his insecurity regarding that obviously shining through. he calls chimeras "cheap knock-off versions." cody has talked about theo's inferiority complex in interviews, too. tinkering with the dread doctors stuff and whatever information they may have wouldn't help him. he wants to be a real werewolf. and if the doctors themselves couldnt even manage to have him be the successful chimera to turn into the beast, hes probably long abandoned any ideas about a way to do it himself. trying to steal someone else's powers is, in theo's mind, his only option.
(also: tv logic reasons and him finding a different way would've been boring to watch lmao)

what if ikrie joins the gaia gang at the base since it seems like it’d be considered a werak
sylens cannot be the only banuk they ever meet lol
Anon, I absolutely love the way you think and let me tell you, there's nothing more than I want from the third game than this. Sylens, for all intents and purposes, might look like a Banuk, but even the Banuk doubt he was ever truly one of them, and even if he was, he seems to like thinking himself outside of and above all tribes, so arguing he's the Banuk representative at base is wobbly at best. Let's face it: when they made their game about Aloy learning the importance of friendship and gathering her team for the current and coming challenges from all the tribes, Guerrilla kind of forgot that the Carja and Banuk exist, too. (And then got rid of the Nora, but that's something for a different time, so I won't get into it.) Where Ikrie joining the gang is concerned, there's a few scenarios I've spent entirely too much time thinking about that come to mind. We know that back in Frozen Wilds, she'd lost everything she held dear, and had her life completely uprooted, realising that what she thought would be her path could never be. When you talk to her at the hunting grounds, she says that she's in no hurry to return to Ban-Ur yet, and it's not too unlikely she might ultimately decide that she won't return at all. So, where would she go from there? She seems like a restless character, much like Aloy, so the hunting grounds won't be her final stop, and even though she considers starting some of her own, I feel she might not want to tether herself to one spot right away. (Plus I feel Lauvuk would have an encouraging thing or two to say about her leaving and seeing the world and asking that girl out.)
So I feel we have:
Ikrie staying in the Cut for a while after she last sees Aloy, eventually meeting Gildun, either while visiting Song's Edge, or just stumbling across him on the road, possibly finding him in a bit of a pickle once again; and after talking to him decides to accompany him west on his delves, for protection and company. Since we know Gildun passed through the later-collapsed tunnel, which would put them into Aloy's general vicinity, she could either go and seek her out, or we keep with the game's events and they meet up while Ikrie is trying to get Gildun out of another door incident ("By the Blue Light, you turn away for five seconds and he gets himself trapped again! ....I think I broke that button over in the next room.") After some catching up and Focus-acquiring Ikrie decides to join forces with Aloy again--fate's a long climb on a high cliff for people like her and Aloy, and what higher cliff and better challenge to rise to than facing Nemesis?, and returns to Base with her. (For bonus Banuk points insert Inatut in Gildun's protection squad here. I feel he would really hit it off with Erend, and eventually join the Vanguard. Vanguard Inatut rights!)
Another option would be her arriving late to the Battle at the Spire with Starbucks. News travel quickly in the Cut, even in remote areas, and a hunting ground is a hub for travellers seeking some training and maybe some rest before or afterwards. So Ikrie hears the rumours, and the stories, and learns that Aloy needs help saving the world. Both Aratak and Inatut have already left, and while she might not be able to catch up with them, she hurries to Meridian. When she arrives, the battle is over, the world is (for now) saved, everyone is celebrating, and Aloy, who she came to help, is nowhere to be seen because she already ran away (once again). Since there's nothing for her in Meridian, but she still intends to help Aloy, she joins Varl on his quest to seek her out, maybe following up on a different rumour than he does right before Forbidden West starts so they meet up a little later than that. (This one also comes with a side of Vanguard Inatut. I may be rather passionate about that one.)
Of course, there's also the shippy option fitting the timeline I have for them in my head, but ignores canon a little (or a lot): Aloy straight up asks Ikrie to accompany her to the West, the two of them set out in pursuit of the rumour that there might be an intact copy of GAIA somewhere in the wilderness of No Man's Land; the Embassy happens, Aloy runs off again and Ikrie is left to follow in her tracks, eventually finding her all messed up in Stone's Echo after her narrow escape from Latopolis. While Aloy is resting and healing, Talanah, Milu, and Varl catch up to them, and ultimately the events of Dying Lands take place, so that they all find the Base together.
Long story short, Ikrie as a Gaia gang member yes please. Imagine all the fun she'd have getting into all sorts of ridiculous challenges with Kotallo, too. The Sunwings at the top of the base would never know peace again.

As someone that likes Sasuke, there are times I wonder why he's not the one getting the hate when he deserves it. In my opinion, Sasuke in part 1 was way more annoying and difficult to actually like in part one. And he's done way worse! Sakura may have made a bad claim about how Naruto had it more easy/was badly behaved cause he has no parents, but at least she tried to be nicer and improve her act. Sasuke insulted and belittled Naruto for freezing up at the beginning of the land of the waves arc, acted all cocky in the chunin exams only to get made when he gets put in his place, got into a fight with Naruto and belittled him again because he was insecure about his skills, threatened Kakashi with a smile on his face, betrays the village to get power from the man who nearly came close to destroying it, put multiple of his comrades lives at risk because he was selfish and NEARLY KILLED NARUTO FOR POWER. If it weren't for Kurama, Naruto would have possibly bled out. But Sakura's the one that's terrible?
OMG YES, YES YES, THIS!!!
The fact is: Sakura was annoying as any young teen who is oblivious of the world would be. Her comment was awful indeed, but it is obvious she regrets it right after Sasuke calls her out. Sakura rethinks her actions, sees how unfair she was and changes her attitude towards Naruto. She is wrong as a child is bound to be (trust me, I work with kids and teenagers). That is the age when they make mistakes, when they are certain of their convictions, teenagers believe they know it all when they hardly know anything, and Sakura had a normal, peaceful life, so she's blissfully unaware of the cruelty of the world. However, she changes, she grows, she doesn't do things like that again. She is always supportive of Naruto, painfully loyal to her friends and becomes much more empathetic and kind.
Sasuke is unapologetic about all the horrible things he did. He hurts Naruto every single chance he gets, he hurts the people who care about him and doesn't give a flying f*ck about the consequences. Now, I understand Konoha sucks, their government is awful and the elders should just die and stop wasting oxygen, but is that reason to do all he did? To hurt, humiliate and belittle his closest friends every chance he gets? I don't see much redemption in him, and honestly? He caused nothing but pain to his team, gave them nothing but trauma. I am a firm believer that he does not deserve their forgiveness, does not deserve redemption because I don't feel like he redeemed himself. Wanna start a revolution? Babe, ask your friends for help, the gods know Naruto had been wronged enough to hate the elders, and many shinobi would agree to a change of power. But Sasuke only ever hurt the ones who loved him, I don't think he deserves forgiveness, he deserves to get hit by a bus.

As much as I hate the un-reveal, I am so excited for him to show his face again because the statute of limitations regarding drontrovercies is fading, randos are being normal and yeah i can feel the good vibes coming
Omg hi !! yesss I really believe that in the worst case he will wait until the drong release. I miss his facie a lot. and also it's sooo good that the normies are starting to get normal towards him, he really is a marketing genius, as much as I dislike the fact he doesn't show his face

🗣 and/or 🤯??
Thank you so much!!!
🗣 Share your favorite dialogue exchange.
“Do not mock this unit.” Unit MS-1 typed. “No, no, I’m not making fun of you. I’m asking if you’re okay.” “Define: ‘okay’.” “Um, as in, are you alright? Are you hurt? Damaged, I guess?” It released a negative ping. “Physical status: fully operational.” “That’s good. Was it just a glitch, then? You were shaking pretty bad.” If by ‘just a glitch’ she was referring to ‘major processor disruption resulting in complete ineffectuality’, then yes, the prior event was just a glitch. More likely, then, she was chastising it. “It will not happen again.” It typed. “Good. It looked like it hurt pretty bad.” A. . . peculiar response. “Event caused no physical damage.” “It still hurts, though, right?” “Define: ‘hurt’.”
It's SOOOO difficult for me to pick a favorite dialogue exchange, because Unit MS-1 doesn't communicate verbally much, and I've already shared some pretty good snippets of dialogue on here already. This one is part of a larger conversation that leads to some interesting (read: angst-inducing) questions for Unit MS-1.
🤯 Share a surprising line, or one where a character realizes something.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik had, with a few errant words, rewritten his most prized creation’s processor functions into complete incapacitation. Dr. Ivo Robotnik had prevented it from fulfilling its purpose. Unit MS-1 saved this fact to the forefront of its memory banks.
This fic is a fic all about surprising realizations, and I don't want to spoil the major ones for you all. This realization, however, happens early on and arguably shapes Unit MS-1 trajectory for the rest of the story. And it doesn't (it arguably can't) come to this realization by itself.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
Oh! Oh!!!
Is it time to bring back The Gatsby Gang Storms Area 51?!?!
I THINK IT’S TIME TO BRING BACK THE GATSBY GANG STORMS AREA 51.
I wrote it for the lovely @ask-the-great-gatsby and others in the Gatsby fandom back when I was but a wee lass of fifteen. It was absolutely cracked-out and stupid, but I loved it and had a lot of fun writing it! (And it turned out to be pretty popular—it’s in my Top 5 fics on AO3 for both hits and kudos!)
What makes it even better is that this isn’t just my most cracky/hilarious contribution to the Great Gatsby fandom, it’s also my ONLY contribution to the Great Gatsby fandom (besides some cartoony art and helping the proliferation of the #yeet Tom into the sun tag). In the height of my Gatsby obsession, I had lots of ideas for fanfic and wrote the beginnings of several. But the only one I finished, and published, and that saw the light of day? This one.
I could also mention that both fics I’ve written for the Secret History fandom—Aristotle’s Theory of Angry Birds and the multi-chapter A Dire Contagion—are absolutely ridiculous crack. I haven’t added to A Dire Contagion for a while, but maybe I should resuscitate it! And I haven’t really written anything super cracky for Cowboy Bebop yet…maybe it’s time to change that? 👀

god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.
