[vore-scientist]

I still haven’t finished reading everything you wrote on the mystical forest, but I love the concept and will surely read everything you create on it.

As for my question, I just arrived at the part where Sophia’s brother learned she is most likely going to be the next ruler over the forest and I got thinking. If she gets to be the next ruler I would believe she would end up giving some freedoms to Yonah when it happens on the distant future, one of which being able to take vacations from his evil wizard job so he could leave the forest once in a while.

And that got me to another little devious thought of Yonah going in one of such vacations on the far away future and encountering some of the thief’s he previously ate on his journey, which would lead to them thinking he wanted another taste, before he explained he wouldn’t eat anyone when he wasn’t on his “evil wizard” role, also, they would be way older and wiser as to not spread word of the giant and how he would let them scape to others. Yonah might even find some who would agree to giving another taste or even to be a little snack in exchange of a healing potion or something.

Anyways, this is just me getting too exited over this story and creating some fics on my head, but would love to see this in your wetting if you ever feel like it! I just love the way you write.

Also, it really is comical that Sophia has a higher body count than Yonah on writing, when we know it’s actually the opposite. It just is really funny in my head.

AHHHHH IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY YOU ARE LOVING MY STORIES!!! Warms my heart. makes it all worth it. By the way: you are free to write fanfiction. You would not be the first one to do so. toss in your own OCs even, my world is a sandbox for anyone to play in. dig holes, build castles, make mud. Or just keep tossing out the ideas to me. i never tire of hearing them, though as a grad student i have little time to write >.<

So! about King Sophia: I actually wrote a post-main storyline short so unless i failed to properly tag that, you'll read it eventually. Also i need to find the post but i KNOW i posted Yonah's contract with king ben. idk why i cant find it. here's the google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LBv5yCWyIanLrWLrUgWQUfa2kXLzdM8P/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106643572354206944350&rtpof=true&sd=true

As the contract states: Yonah's "employment" ends with either his death or king ben's. You can guess which condition is met XD in that INSTANT yonah's tether to the tower is gone, he is no longer contractually obligated to be the evil giant/wizard.

He becomes sophia's second in command and chief royal wizard.

I also did a funny comic with King Sophia once: LINK

i hecking LOVE your idea however yonah is an ASS and he WILL eat thieves again even if he's not an "evil giant" anymore he loved being evil and being evil suits him so he keeps some of those tendencies. Though he wouldnt eat every thief he meets again, and writing a story where he meets a previous thief and doesnt eat them again would be very fun too! I copy and pasted your idea into my MW idea/prompts google document.

[also just so you know, according to AO3, and keep in mind I have not posted all of MW to AO3 bc i just... missed some... i gotta fix that... but according to AO3 there are 215,577 words and 34 stories (with many of the thief stories being counted as one story with many chapters...) so yeah not surprised you havent read ALL OF IT]

[creepweirdo]

don’t worry about slow replies or w/e this is meant to be fun when you can!! but capitalism is the worst. and yesss, my faves openly support lgbt+ fans they’re good boys. i almost missed the yoi news because of the destiel spam so i wasn’t even sure if it was a joke at first either. tumblr is on fire right now. it wasn’t that art but wow also HELLO SIR I AM LOOKING not very respectfully i am but a weak bi. i used to read a load but quarantine brain is broken so i cant focus on novels now.

i want to read tgcf but i keep flopping after like 5 pages but also san lang hot and i heard there’s wlw in it?? cloud recesses does look so pretty to live in but i’m such a nhs, i just want to sit in his nie sect and paint fans and look at pretty things all day. let other people swing swords and all, gossip is way more powerful. rogue cultivator tho your mind! this is the best answer to this question. and that’s not lame, the reason my s/o is the best is bc they know i like to have my own time

most of the time and we can just sit and chill in quiet for hours. it’s perfect. OK! mdzs question which char deserved better (so many choices…) and tell me about other fandoms you’re into/active if you have any more!

hi classified cultivator!!

LMAO THE DESTIEL SPAM. all those memes about the 2020 bingo card - destiel canon, yoi return, and now the marvel trailer for the sambucky show 💀💀 they’re going to queerbait us so bad i’m in love with the chaos that is going to happen 😍❤️

i took me a little bit to get into it too 😭 all the word building but it gets better ❤️ ahaha it’s just vibes - i was like wow i’m pretty sure this is all important information but yeah i’m still a little confused. i was given a character sheet google doc/drive thing that might be able to clarify some things!! i’ll link it at the end! and omg wlw!!! lmao they haven’t shown up in the 100 chapters i’ve read but that info has made me excited 👀 maybe i’ll continue reading it on my days off this week ahaha!

OKAY BUT TRUE THATS MY SECOND CHOICE - to be nhs and vibe all day 💀❤️ and be a gossiper and mastermind on the side 😼 i am a gemini after all HAHAHA.

omg which character deserved better 😭😭 oh no, my gut reaction of lan zhan of course 💔 i’m still thinking about that fic i read like 2 weeks ago where it was his life recovering and grieving after the 30 lashes ahhh all the pain he went through and waiting 13 years for wwx to come back!!! that really really breaks my heart. and then all the things before like his fucked up childhood, mum dying, dad dying, cloud recesses burning, getting his leg broken, pinning after someone, and having the love of your life DIE!!!! wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it hurts me so much.

oooo other fandoms - so i never really contribute to any of the fandoms i’ve been in. i just sit back and observe ❤️ and i’m normally into one fandom at a time. for some weird reason hannibal doesn’t count 💀 i will always be laughing at that show HAHAH.

but before mdzs tbh i was honestly just waiting for another fandom to take me 😭 so i watched avatar the last air bender and the legend of korra in june/july this year and ahhh it was so good!! and i read heaps of fic and my other blog basically became an avatar blog ahaha. then before that the september-december period of 2019 was my it chapter 2 era bc i saw the movie at the cinema and the whole reddie thing - having the love of your life die before telling them that you love them 💔 (whoops spoilers lol). and before that i honestly can’t remeber??? i think my fandom blog was more of a multi fandom blog with posts from everywhere - rather than just super focused on one thing like it is now HAHA. no regrets ❤️

i think this will be more on an indicator - my top fandoms in my AO3 bookmarks are:

mdzs captain america 💀 lol this is why i’ve relapsed with the sambucky show les miserables avatar game of thrones hannibal inception yuri on ice

hahaha that’s so funny - that basically sums up the last 5 years of my life 💀

what about you - who do you think deserved better? and what other fandoms are you into/active in?

oops my phone is about to die 😳 so i’m gonna post this asap HAHAH

thank you for the questions haha ❤️

I'm so sorry, I missed the writing ask meme! If you still feel like answering questions, I'm sending 3, 5, 9, 15, 23!

oh pfft don’t apologize haha it’s all good! thank you for sending an ask, i’m always happy to answer!!

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

g o d this is so hard to choose you have no idea????? i’m just gonna drop a whole bunch of my favourite bullshit here (each bullet is also a link to the fic it’s taken from)

all of the dialogue from the oso zine fic tbh but especially during osomatsu’s narration

“It’s not Zura, it’s Katsura,” he corrects. “And yes, I would have woken you up. I’m here because I need your help.” / “I’m not a trained psychiatrist, Zura. I can’t give you the help you need,” Gintoki deadpans.

i’m very fond of the fight scene in the first chapter of the nightmares fic i genuinely feel like i did a good job with that

stealing dialogue from the iconic “that’s no moon” scene in a new hope for sakamoto and mutsu

“You’re an angry sack of potatoes, is what you are”

“Where did that idiot headband learn to play volleyball from, Free! Iwatobi Swim Club?”

the entire opening scene of the crossover fic i had no idea breaking the fourth wall to roast yourself was so much fun no wonder it’s a staple joke in gintama

5. most popular fic this year

this is actually tough bc i feel like it was distraction or pacifists are the best mediators as those got the best response overall when they were posted but i guess technically speaking by the numbers it was eating cheese before you sleep will give you nightmares. that being said tho it is a multichap and it didnt pass either of the other two in terms of hits or kudos until like, super late into the fall, and both are oneshots

(ao3 stats is putting distraction at the top of hits and kudos for 2017 but that’s because i just published a chapter of nightmares so it got bumped to the 2018 stats lol)

9. longest wip of the year

oh definitely the crossover fic - i know i’ve been publishing chapters but i have nothing written past what i’ve already published so it counts as a WIP hahaha. currently it’s sitting just shy of 14.5k words, all of which were written in the fall of 2017.

if we’re only including 100% unpublished stuff though, my longest WIP is that one gintama multichap i’ve been dying to write (aka The Long Fic). it’s sitting at about 7k words right now? damn and i’m only on like chapter 2 that thing’s gonna be a beast when i finally finish it and start posting

15. something you learned this year

mmmm probably the importance of having a personal reason to write a fic? for one thing, now that i can’t just sit in my room and write fic all day like i could in may i really need prioritize – if i’m gonna put the effort into writing something, it needs to be a story that i desperately want to exist, or a a piece that benefits me as a writing study or vent fic, or i need to be writing it for someone else (like for someone’s birthday or a zine).

also – and debatably more importantly – having a personal reason to write and publish helps when audience response is lacking. everyone knows i think it’s very important for creators to absolutely not measure their quality/worth by audience response, but as human beings who thrive on validation that is definitely something easier said than done. i learned that firsthand this summer, ironically with the nightmares fic – i had exactly zero comments on that fic for months, until i posted the fifth chapter in the fall. it was super discouraging & i came very, very close to falling into the “well obviously no one cares about this fic i should just stop writing it” hole over the summer. what ultimately saved the fic was the fact that i’d been using it as a style study for descriptive imagery and serious content. so i focused on that, and kept on writing, and then in the fall a whole bunch of people appeared out of the woodwork telling me how much they enjoyed it and looked forward to new chapters.

so yeah, that was an important lesson – even if you know you cant rely on audience response for validation, it’s still discouraging to not get any response, so a good way to get around that and finish your project is to have a personal reason for the project to exist. also, having a personal reason can help prioritize what projects you start when you have to balance your time with care.

(the other lesson, of course, is that thinking for even a second that people dont appreciate your writing is bullshit – comments i got in the fall concretely proved all my doubts about my writing from the summer wrong, so moving forward it’ll be easier to believe that people enjoy my fics even if they dont ever get around to saying so)

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

i had a really cute idea for a birthday fic for shinpachi but i was too busy in august to actually write it ;; i want it to exist too much to abandon it entirely so i’ll probably just write it and publish it sometime in the coming months lmao (birthdays are meaningless in gintama anyways since the characters don’t age so w h a t e v e r)

i was realllllly hoping to write another part to the drinking bet series in the fall but i didnt manage to get anything even to a WIP stage

i have like 5 ongoing WIPs that i was hoping to sort out over the fall as well. i had such high hopes for myself this fall idk why? like we all know the only reason i wrote so much in may and june was because i was literally unemployed and isolating myself after a breakup so i had a fuckton of spare time on hand. i knew i was moving in the fall and would have a job and a roommate to socialize with i dont know why i expected myself to get so much writing done lmao
