special announcement time
alright everyone.
at long last, i have finished polishing my latest writing project, a horror romcom fantasy novel (94k words), and am looking for beta readers to tell me what they think of it.
but not only that...
i am also interested in beta swapping.
sooooooooo.
if you got an ongoing fanfic, if you've got a novel of your own...or any other kind of big writing project, or web comic even, that you want eyes on...dm me or send me an ask (or reply to this post, I'll reach out).
i have turned on dms and replies for this purpose.
it can be pretty much any length and any genre, about anything. i don't mind any experience level either, whether you've never written anything at all, or have been doing it for years. i can help aspiring authors (trad or indie), fanfic authors who want to participate in fan events/post to AO3, people who don't want to share their work with the public...
i'll read sci fi, fantasy, horror, historical, contemporary, romance. porn. any genre, with any audience (YA, MG, adult, whatever).
but also, you know. we don't have to swap. if you just wanna read it, that's perfectly alright too. summary here, so you can see if you'd be interested.
Warnings: Graphic violence, child death (death of an infant), self-harm (because their powers are blood-based, and they need to self harm in order to use them), implied sexual assault/incest (not graphic), animal death (a lot of it), and oh yeah, sex scenes. this is an adult romantasy. adult.
anyway.
here:
In a world ravaged by war between the old gods and the new, demigods sow chaos and discord wherever they go, destined to be either legendary heroes or fearsome villains. But Marrow is not like other demigods. They are the child of the god of blood and slaughter, born with only one purpose: to kill in their savage father’s name, and bleed the entire world dry. The one problem? 
The only living creature they want to kill is their father.
But Marrow has been imprisoned within their temple for their entire life, unable to realize that dream…until now. A deal with a devil allows them to escape, making their way into a hostile world they know little about- and matters are not helped by the fact that their father can use their eyes to see what they're seeing at any time. To keep him from seeing their location, Marrow must remained blindfolded. But Marrow, an eternal optimist, won’t let their lack of vision stop them from fulfilling their lifelong dream. 
The demigod hunter might, however. Arlo Ren is a member of the Razor Watch, a religious order dedicated to the goddess of the hunt. He is clever, but impulsive, eager to prove himself to his goddess by capturing powerful prey. Soon after meeting Marrow by chance, and discovering what they are, he sees his opportunity and refuses to let it go. Literally. The demigod hunter handcuffs the demigod to his side, and swears to sacrifice them in his god’s name. Luckily for him, Marrow is an inexperienced, blind pacifist, who needs him to guide them through a dangerous, unknown world. They fully intend to escape him eventually. But perhaps a demigod and a demigod hunter have more in common than they might think. Perhaps they might even need each other...but they will, at the very least, need to learn how to live, work, and fight together as they are relentlessly chased by Marrow’s powerful demigod siblings, all hoping to kill their youngest sibling and please the god they abandoned. 
So yeaaaah. DM or replied or whatever if interested. We can chat some more in discord or on Tumblr (but I'm faster on discord).

hange masterlist
A/N: Firstly, I had written too much than I expected and I feel very guilty. Secondly, this was fun to write. Thirdly, I hope you like this one anon, cause oh my, did I have a lot of giggling done while I was writing this. I honestly have low hopes for this one to go well, but I wanted to do it justice, hence the late upload. I hope you like it regardless! ;v; I also forgot if there was anything else I should've italicized. I did this on the notepad on my laptop, so. Please ignore any typos or else I will die.
(Also, a text with [this] means it's your text. I just didn't feel like doing that y/n business for this one.)
HANGE ACTOR AU: PROJECT 1
ACT 1: HANGE
I wholeheartedly believe Hange is naturally flirty, even to their past co-stars and actresses
It's kind of what they're known for, actually. If it's not their big projects in the past, it's their flirtatious and witty behavior
Hange stars a lot in action, thriller, and crime films
Very rarely in some sci-fi movies
Hange doesn't always wear glasses, they're wealthy enough to afford contacts
But when they do, the public screams how perfect they'd look in sci-fi films, especially with the type of glasses they have
The public also screams how insanely hot they look with it
There's been some times where Hange does wear their glasses during movie premiere red carpets
And what makes the public lose it when they wear their glasses is that during these interviews, they occasionally look at their co-star with such adoration
A straight up half-lidded gaze, tilted head, and occasional lip twitches as their co-star talks
It's all inadvertent, they'd say in another interview
But the next victim of Hange's glassy-eyed stare? You.
ACT 2: YOU
Your career consists of mostly side characters in arthouse films
The sharp-witted, helpful, sometimes annoying side character
You occasionally get a center role, though
Sometimes you star in drama, horror, or even action
But soon, you get paired up with Hange in one of their main career genres
A crime film, with you as Hange's sidekick, an assistant of sorts
The film has a certain twist to it, where your character is actually the one pulling some of the strings behind the case Hange's character and you yourself were working on
And it includes a scene where— if seen under a different assumption, a different light— you'd think it wasn't a heated interrogation but a build up to something more
A different kind of heated, let's just say.
But after all that time on set, and now during that red carpet interview,
You're not sure if Hange's scrutinizing gaze is all part of the act anymore
ACT 3: ACTION
The cameras flash and the people scream out both of your names to get your attention. You two are the stars of the night as the movie premiere's red carpet event takes place. You answer some of the interviewers as best as you can, trying your hardest not to give out any spoilers, but other than the paparazzi's gazes, you can feel someone else's eyes on you.
From your peripheral vision, you can see the way Hange towers just beside you, ready to jump in to give an answer of their own if needed. You think you're seeing things, but after a while you notice that Hange's eyes are not on the interviewers where they should be— but on you instead. Their grey glasses glimmer under the light of all the flashes sometimes. When you turn to look at them, they only smile back ever so softly.
You've known them to be a flirt. You do a bit of your own research before jumping into a project after all. It's been said by their past co-stars time and time again that they have a charming and playful personality, and flirty is not exactly far from the top 5 words the world has been using to describe them.
Was it your turn to be under Hange's watchful, half-lidded gaze this time? Instead of mulling on it over and over, you decide that it's best to focus on the event for the meantime. You don't want the cameras to catch you zoning out now, do you?
"So you and Hange have amazing chemistry on-screen. Was it hard to maintain that bond off-screen, considering it's your first time working together?" The interviewer asks.
"No, not at all! They have an easygoing personality, so you can imagine what that's like." You both smile as you answer the question, "Hange knows this is a bigger project than what I usually do, and they helped a lot in making me feel settled and welcomed. So that already helped a lot with our dynamic even off-screen."
"Aw, isn't that sweet?" Hange's soft voice speaks up as they pull you a little bit closer by your waist. You laugh in surprise at their sudden action, and even the interviewer can't help but be entertained by Hange's antics. You can't tell if they're just playing around or being true to themselves at this moment.
Throughout the event, all eyes are on you two. Hange is much more of an expert than you in dealing with the public and reporters, so for the most part, you let them deal with it. But you work together really well, the answers and banter flowing easily without a single problem.
"Well don't you two seem awfully close. Did the on-screen chemistry match the off-screen one?" Another interviewer asks.
"Oh, well you know. On-screen chemistry often translates off-camera too." Hange leans in closer to the mic, their voice low and teasing, confidence in full display as they answer the question. They even add a wink after answering.
"Oh, you flirt," You tap Hange's arm playfully, "Ignore them."
Hange laughs at your interjection, "See what I mean?" Hange pulls you closer to them, "This one keeps me in line."
As they pull you closer to them, you realize you're not exactly sure anymore if Hange's flirtatious character is just a front or if they're being serious for real. Sure, there's truth to their words: You do have great chemistry on and off-screen, but how much of Hange's flirty answers are true? Are you their next victim? Were you willing to be, anyway?
In the midst of this excruciatingly tiring event, you don't miss the way Hange's concerned eyes land on you as if to ask if you're okay. It's one of your first big events as an actor who mostly does small, indie projects after all. You smile at them throughout the night as a silent response.
During the movie premiere itself, you and Hange talk occasionally. You two make fun of your own characters, pointing out which scenes were hard for you two to film, which moments in the movie you loved best, and the likes. Sometimes, and yet again you think you're seeing things, but it looks like Hange's eyes are not on the screen but on you instead. You try to catch them, but the frame of their glasses and the darkness make it hard to see exactly where they have their eyes on. And even then, by that time, Hange's eyes are already back on the screen.
Before long, the moment of your character's betrayal was shown. Hange watches, their eyes almost sparkling in excitement.
"You were absolutely brilliant in this scene." Hange whispers, eyes glued to the screen. You mutter a thanks to their praise.
It was rather intense, the confrontation scene. Your usually apprehensive character's demeanor changed into a defiant, cheeky troublemaker the moment Hange's character figured out your plan. Much to the dismay of their character, your character wasn't exactly eager to spill out their secrets, leading to a bit of heated argument and some physicality.
Things resolved in a way that you were already sure would lead to split opinions in the community. This much you've discussed with Hange, but fan theories and scene dissections aside, you two were happy with how your characters resolved their own arcs in the end.
During the afterparty, Hange doesn't leave your side either. You were glad for this, as there's still a lot of people you didn't know aside from the filming crew.
"Thanks for sticking by me," you mutter, "I don't exactly know what to do during these events. It's all such a headache."
"Oh it's no problem, darling," Hange's hand settles back down on your waist as they speak in a low voice. "I'm more than happy to accompany you."
But it's not long before someone else calls for Hange's attention. Of course, it's to be expected. Hange's the more popular one in this industry, in this event. They excuse themselves from you with a wink, slipping their arm away from your waist and reluctantly leaving you alone for the meantime to talk to another actor.
As you wait for Hange, someone else comes up to talk to you. You try your best to engage in conversation, but you're more than eager for this to end so you can go back to Hange's company again. You spot Hange in the corner of your vision, and they're just as aware of your new chatmate.
Hange watches with a slight tension in their shoulders, their eyes occasionally darting to where you and the other actor are talking. Hange tries their best to maintain a cheerful conversation of their own, but their eyes remain watchful and annoyed at the fact that someone already talked to you the second they left you alone. It's not unexpected, it's a social event after all and you're the main star as well. But it does irk Hange to no end.
After what seems like hours, Hange's conversation ends first. They keep their eyes locked on you as they make their way over to where you are, excusing themselves along the way as they bump into other people.
"Hey! Hi, sorry, I just need to borrow this one for a second," Hange exclaims sweetly as they interrupt your conversation, "Mind if I steal them away for a bit?"
"Oh, of course, no problem."
And with that, Hange happily snakes their arm back around your waist and leads you away somewhere with less people.
"Was that a bit of jealousy I heard in your tone?" You tease Hange as you two settle somewhere quiet.
"Me? Jealous? Hardly." Hange teases.
You two walk around for a bit, greeting some guests and some crews. After some time together, you finally bring up what's on your mind. All that staring during the red carpet, their flirty behavior, even the way they whipped you away just now, it all comes flooding back to you.
"So, all that staring you've been doing." You turn to face their tall figure. It didn't really register to you how good Hange looked tonight— they had a dashing coat on, colors fitting to the aesthetic of your film.
"What about my staring?" Hange crosses their arms, a smirk appearing on their already smug looking face.
"You know what it does." You look at them, stern yet playful.
"And?" Hange urges you to continue, that smug look never leaving their face.
"Well, I would just appreciate it if you dropped the act."
"What act, darling?" Hange tilts their head, which you grow a little annoyed at. But you can't deny that it's an endearing sight too.
"The flirty comments, the…" You wave your hand around in an attempt to express yourself better, "the lovesick gaze…?" You cringe at your own words.
"Oh, darling." Hange drawls out, their tone playful yet serious, "I wasn't acting at all. I'm not playing pretend here."
Hange leans closer, close enough to the point where you can smell their perfume on them. It smells expensive, and it takes every single fiber in your being not to squirm where you stand.
You're seeing it again, up close and personal— Hange's pretty face so close to you, a sly smile tugging at the corners of their lips. The last time they were this close was during the shooting of that damned confrontation scene. After what seems like an eternity, they finally speak up, their voice dangerously low and sultry.
"Unless… you want it to be part of the act?"
It takes you a second to reply, but even then you stammer in your own words.
"Wha-"
Someone calls out to both of you, distracting you momentarily. Apparently, the afterparty is done and the cabs are here to take everyone home. Hange looks at you, that smile still etched on their gorgeous face before taking you away, back to where the people are. Your little conversation will have to be postponed for now. You're not worried for the lack of time at all, for there will be plenty of promotional interviews this week with Hange. But the suspense will be enough to leave both of you with a bit of tension until you two see each other again, with the perfect amount of privacy for you to talk your feelings out.
"I'll see you soon." Hange murmurs before kissing your hand. Their lips linger a second too long, and so do their eyes as they look at your stylish outfit.
"See you, Hange." And with that, the waiting game begins.
It takes a few days and a bunch of interviews before a long string of messaging happens between you two. It was Hange who reached out first, with a rather interesting message.
Hange: Have you see the edits?
You smile to yourself before replying to their message. For sure, they’re talking about how your movie is all the rage at the moment, including online.
[yeah. they're definitely something, aren't they?]
Hange: It's like they can't get enough of our chemistry. Hange: I guess the fans just see us and can't help but ship us. But it is kind of flattering, isn't it?
[its entertaining, yeah]
Hange: Though I guess that means we make a good pair, huh? 😉
[we do :)]
From your message alone, Hange already has a hunch that you two had totally different ideas in mind. After a few minutes, you receive another notification from them, confusion obvious from their message.
Hange: Wait, which edits have you been seeing exactly?
[the interview ones. what else?]
Hange responds rather quickly. From their end, they’re grinning mischievously from the newfound knowledge that you haven’t seen everything yet. They keep their message short and cryptic.
Hange: Oh.
You grow confused. What other edits could Hange be talking about? You wait a few seconds before receiving another message from them.
Hange: So you haven't seen the ones of us during the confrontation scene?
[the confrontation scene?]
Hange: So I take it that you haven't.
[,,, no? why would they be making edits about that ?]
Truth be told, you haven't exactly been online too much since your movie had shown in theaters everywhere. But from your social media's algorithm, that's really all you've been seeing: edits of you and Hange during past interviews this week, the videos cutting to when you two locked eyes and what the fans say is you acting shy from Hange's actions. Nothing more, nothing less.
Hange sent a link.
Hange: So you haven't seen these kinds of edits??
[no.??? wait i'll watch them now]
And watch them, you did. It takes you a second to get it, but you know what it is. You've seen these kinds of edits float around before; clips of movie scenes together to make a narrative, sometimes even to fit a certain song. And these fans certainly outdid themselves when it came to your movie, specifically catering to that scene where Hange’s character finds out and confronts you about your betrayal on them.
You scroll past a few of them, but another very particular edit grabs your attention. You make a mental note to never mention it to Hange and bury it in your mind. After a few minutes of replaying that edit, you decide to reply to Hange.
[ohhhh. those kinds of edits]
Hange: Ha! See? Aren't those cool?
[they’re certainly creative, thats for sure]
You hide the fact that that one particular edit makes your heart swoon a bit.
Hange: Come on, give them more credit than that. Hange: Or maybe you’re saying very little because you’re flustered from watching them?
[no, no, they’re good, really. im just surprised, i didnt know abt these.?]
Hange: They’re amazing, is what. I definitely see it now, how that confrontation scene can ultimately look a rather different kind of… intense 😉
[u are a joke. but i dont disagree]
You leave the conversation at that, and Hange lets you be. Unbeknownst to you, Hange has been uncontrollably smiling all the way from start to finish of your conversation. They already miss your presence and the time you had on set. In fact, their mind has already wandered back to how you looked in the red carpet. They just couldn't let you go, and you didn't let them.
After a few busy days, you decide to revisit some of the edits on social media. But before you could fully succumb to sleep, you decide to view that one particular edit that caught your attention. Yes, you did replay it a bit. Was it so wrong? It’s not like anybody will know. It’s not long before sleep takes ahold of you after the last replay of that video.
Soon you wake up well and refreshed, that is until you read Hange’s message. It's not like there was anything wrong with it, but it was odd enough that your gut tells you otherwise.
Hange: You sure are amusing
[good morning to you too. and what does that mean]
Hange: Well good morning! Looks like someone forgot to log in to a dummy account last night
[???]
Now you’re not only confused, but nervous as well. Nervous enough to double-text Hange.
[Hange??]
Hange sent a link.
It's a tweet of your activity online, a screenshot that you've liked that one particular edit of Hange from a different movie of theirs, a scene where they were alone and the scene itself being rather impure. The edit itself is a 2 month old upload, and netizens are going crazy for your unexpected interaction on such a late upload, additionally the fact that it's an edit of your co-star, and most especially the fact that its in the middle of your promotion for your movie with Hange.
When Hange saw that tweet, they were more than ecstatic to talk about it with you. It took everything in their bones to not post anything exclaiming their happiness of your sudden activity, especially that it's content of them.
You distinctly remember clicking like on it after multiple replays before dozing off to sleep. It happened quickly. So much for keeping your attraction to it under wraps.
[fuck]
Hange: Hehe Hange: I'm coming over
[???]
Hange doesn't reply anymore, making you nervous. The fact that you know they live pretty close to where you are puts you in such unease.
In the meantime, you look at how people are reacting to your activity, and in some ways it soothes you. Most are shocked, obviously. Who wouldn't be, when edits of your movie are going all around and here you are, barging in with an interaction on an old, and rather spicy edit of Hange.
It worried you, what this might do to Hange's reputation. Are they coming over because they're pissed? Probably not, they put a 'hehe' there. But still, you're worried how this would unfold for both of you, but especially for Hange, being the more popular actor they are.
Some reactions are… excited? Looks like some already shipped you two the moment some behind the scenes photos were posted. You're just thankful there's not a lot of negative feelings and thoughts being shared.
After some time, your doorbell rings. Hange's here. From your peephole, you can see that they're wearing a mask and a cap, most likely to hide from any paparazzi. You let them in with a guilty look, averting their gaze.
As soon as Hange walks in, they take off their disguises and the hoodie that they were wearing. They're wearing a white blouse that looks good on them. In addition to that, they're also wearing that stupid smug smirk on their face that also, unfortunately, looks good on them. After closing the door, they turn to you with their arms crossed, grinning as they speak.
"So looks like someone liked a pretty steamy edit of me in one of my older films." Hange says, their tone a matter-of-fact.
"Hange, I-I'm sorry if that weirded you out or anythi—“
"No, no. It didn't, don't worry about that. But I do want to know, though…" Hange cuts you off, leaning a bit closer again with their folded arms, the same way they stood when you accused their lovestruck gaze as mere acting. The same way they stood when you smelled their perfume the night of the premiere, only this time they smell a bit like a part of home.
Hange's lips curl up a bit slightly before they speak again.
"Tell me darling, was I a good actor there?" They ask, their voice low and raunchy, and you find you can't give an answer the way they just explicitly asked you such a bold question with such a tone, right after entering your apartment.
Your mouth remains hanging open as Hange chuckles softly, leaning a bit back to give you more space.
"Sorry, too much? But you do look cute all flustered like that. But really, you must've found it good if you liked such an old post of me like that."
It takes you a while to compose yourself. You sigh and let your shoulders down a bit.
"Fine, you were a good actor there. Happy?"
Hange nods, "Very. Although pestering you to the point of blushing about that post wasn't the only reason why I wanted to come here," Hange fixes their glasses before mumbling under their breath, "But it made for a very good reason, too."
"Okay… so why are you here exactly?"
"I wanted us to continue our conversation from that night. You know, the red carpet? movie premiere?" Hange looks at you warily, gauging your reaction to their words.
"Oh, when you were looking at me so dearly?" You say, your tone fully dipped in sarcasm.
"Exactly." Hange smiles at your remembrance of that night despite the sarcasm.
"Okay. What about it? Didn't I tell you to quit it?"
"You did, yes." Hange adjusts their stance, "It's just that I also told you that I wasn't acting."
"Right. So where are we going with this?"
"Darling." Hange sighs before looking into your eyes, "Is it not obvious how much I'm pining for you?"
You look at them warily but don't stop them from continuing.
"You know, ever since filming wrapped up, I just couldn't keep myself from being curious about you," Hange admits. From the way they look right now, so unsure and cautious of their own words, you wouldn't even be able to tell they're an actor with such a confident reputation.
"Well, honestly, even towards the end of filming, I think there were some obvious signs that I had some feelings for you," Hange adds, their hand scratching their nape bashfully, "But I think everyone was too busy on the project to notice. Including you, of course."
"Don't fuck with me," You tilt your head at them, still confused about their sudden admissions, your mind rejecting the fact that this confession will make you fall bit by bit for them, "You're acting."
"Do you think I'm acting?" Hange bows their head, a smile dancing on their lips.
They walk closer to you, taking in your hands as they speak in a soft voice.
"Maybe you think I'm acting, maybe you think I'm playing around," their thumb draws circles on the back of your hand, their touch light and soothing.
"Maybe you think I don't mean any of these words or these touches. But I'm not acting. I'm not playing around. I know I started liking you in the middle of production, but…" Hange locks their eyes with you, their gaze unwaveringly soft and stern.
"I tried my best not to let it show even during our time on set. I only acted a bit on my feelings after, and that was way after filming too."
"So you really are serious then…" You take a deep breath, looking down at your hands then were being held by Hange's before looking back up to meet their gaze. They nod their head with a smile.
"Yes, of course. I'm not messing with you. I'm not playing some kind of game with you. Why do you think I've been looking at edits of us? I'm not that egotistical, darling. I'm watching them because I… guess I wanted to see more of you. You don't even know how happy I was to see that news about your activity last night, with that edit of me," Hange chuckles.
"It's good to know you're serious… but shit, why tell me all of this now? We're in the middle of our promotion." You squeeze their hand a bit, furrowing your brows, "I was here worrying about how me liking that post would do to you or… ruin your reputation or something. And here you are confessing to me right after I did that."
"You didn't ruin anything," Hange chuckles lightly, "And, well, even if there's going to be some.. dating allegations after that…"
Hange chucks their head side to side, a smile playing on their lips.
"Well, they're just fan theories. Mere speculation. Just harmless gossip, don't mind them too much. Unless…" Hange ducks their head to meet your gaze once again, their eyes visible just below the frame of their glasses.
"Unless you want to disprove them, darling?" Hange chuckles again, "Because after all that confession I've been doing, I didn't exactly hear any rejections."
"Well…" You ponder for a second. You have had your eyes on them for a while now. And who knows, maybe it'll be fun, hiding this relationship for a bit, having Hange to yourself before the world's speculation proves themselves right. "I'm not rejecting you, no."
Hange smiles, a glint in their eyes appearing.
"Good, good." Hange kisses your hand softly. "So…" Hange straightens their posture and looks at you with a rather mischievous, playful look in their eyes.
"What do you say we recreate our confrontation scene and make our own spin on it?"

💜 About
❤️ When does this event take place?
JouKai Week for 2024 will run between Friday, January 19th and Thursday, January 25th, 2024.
💙 How does this work?
This event is open to anyone who's a fan of Kaiba and Joey.
A pair of prompts is provided every day. Feel free to pick and choose, or combine both prompts in your fanworks. You can make as many pieces as you want for any given day. Feel free to participate every day, or just on the days where you feel like it.
You can start working on your fills as soon as prompts are posted, but please do not post your finished works before the event starts.
❤️ What can I make?
Create whatever you're inspired to—fanart, traditional long-form fanfiction, poetry, crafts, mood boards, ship playlists, or headcanon posts.
The only stipulation is your work should primarily focus on Jounouchi and Kaiba. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on length or rating. Please keep in mind that it is common courtesy to provide ratings, warnings, and put NSFW or excessively long works under a "Read More" cut.
Go wild and have fun.
💙 Where should I post my work?
Wherever you want! While this event is run on tumblr, you're free to share your creations on tumblr, FF.net, AO3, twitter, etc. Mod will also reblog and share works that are tagged with @joukaiweek​​​ or #joukaiweek2024. Mod recommends doing both so your work doesn't get lost. Mod reserves the right to not reblog anything that does not fit the spirit of the event or is not properly rated/warned. Mod also requests you not share your finished creation until the day of the prompt.
❤️ I have another question not addressed here.
Send an ask, and Mod will get back to you ASAP.

Tumblr media
hello hello, and welcome to my writeblr, aka the place i'll be using to help develop and share content about my wips and writing! i have, admittedly, created this blog on a whim, but i'm hoping i'll be able to make something fun out of it, so feel free to stick around if any of my posts or wips grab you!
𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞 ⋆。°✩
my name's moriah (or mor, if you prefer), and i'm an 18-year-old writer from the united states! i love rock music, vampires, and the color red, among about a hundred other things! i'm also a huge movie fan on top of being a reader, and a good 90% of my inspiration comes from the movies and tv shows i enjoy (the other 10% comes from whatever music gets stuck in my head at the time). feel free to dm me whenever, i love to chat!
also, please note that this is a side blog, and my main blog (the blog i follow from) is @sh0ckrot!
𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⋆。°✩
⋆ i used to write exclusively fantasy and sci fi, but now i've begun branching out into the genres of "whatever the hell i feel like," and so far, it's been very fun!
⋆ most (if not all) of my writing is adult or, at the very least, geared towards a mature audience—i'm not a biggest fan of the book rating system, so i just like to say that all of my wips would fall under an "r" rating if they were movies.
⋆ i almost have to physically restrain myself from adding vampires or vampire-adjacent creatures to every single fantasy wip i create, oops!
⋆ expect lots of bisexual main characters, because if i can't find the representation i want somewhere else, i'm sure as hell gonna write it myself!
⋆ i love my romance subplots but i cannot read or write straight-up romance for the life of me—
𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐬 ⋆。°✩
the nona incident! historical fiction, drama, romance, thriller — tag: #wip : the nona incident!

◈—⌈ SENTFROMWOLVES ⌋ writeblr introduction ²⁰²⁴
Hi everyone, and welcome to my writeblr 2024 introduction. My name is Eran (they/he & freshly thirty) and I've been on writeblr for awhile, so you might've seen me around. ( •̀ ω •́ ) This is my yearly post to introduce the projects I'll be working on this year, what I write, and who I am. I'll be keeping it short and sweet.
I'd love to meet more writers this year, so if you write any of the following, or just like these genres, or even just wanna shout about ocs together, come holler and I'll give you a follow!
◈ — sci-fi and fantasy of any kind! cozy fantasy, romantasy, epic fantasy, space opera? this is my bread and butter, and I love shouting about it from the rooftops with others! ◈ — found families, ot3s, complicated soulmates. I am almost always writing about soulmates who have either killed each other at least once in the past or are planning some sort of murder. Complicated relationships, especially found families that aren't all rainbows and butterflies, are right up my alley. ◈ — queer and trans protagonists, large queer casts! all of my wips feature trans/nonbinary leads, and I'm always looking for more queer writer friends to connect with! ◈ — hope at the end of the tunnel, but hell to get to. I write stories with hopeful endings, with the sun on the horizon, with the promise that something better might now at long last be on the way. I love seeing characters get put through hell, but I love it even more when they make it to the other side. (if you write tragedy though, please know I will still cry on your doorstep if you'll have me) ◈ — corruption arcs, redemption arcs, sometimes both! Deeply nuanced characters with messy attitudes, and even messier actions. I'm just as equally obsessed with cool worldbuilding as I am with character-driven things, and I will yell about ocs all day, and maybe draw them too >:3 ◈ — big, epic, and sweeping worldbuilding! I am a huge fan of delving into the worldbuilding aspect of my wips. I love building magic systems, cultures, geographies, and more. One of my 2024 projects is doing a worldbuilding experiment blog at some point. I am always down to clown over worldbuilding, whether to sound board or just holler together!
There's a lot more I could say here, but this post can only get so long! Σ(っ °Д °;)っ my dms are always open, and I will follow back most of the time! But just to get all of the basics outta the way:
◈—« here's a quick and dirty rundown of how I work! »—◈
➺ I interact and follow from @calamityeden, so if you see that username, it's just me.✌️I am most active on discord, and if we become friends, you're more than welcome to ask to add me there. ➺ I am open to being tagged in writeblr games! Just know that I am not online all the time, and might be slow to respond to them. 🐌 ➺ My ask box and DMs are open, just please be respectful. I love meeting new writers and talking about projects! I am happy to chat and make new friends. You're always welcome! 💌 ➺ This is a strictly 18+ writeblr. Please DNI with me if you are a minor and respect my boundaries.
🪄You can find my core tags here under my writing and my graphics, as well as writer reminders, game train and catharsis. (❁´◡`❁) And now onto the fun part! My 2024 main project line up!
Tumblr media
I have my main four listed here that you'll probably hear me yelling about pretty consistently, but I've also got a lot of other projects rattling around in my brain. So if you're ever curious about a project that's not here, feel free to yell at me about it! >:3
Tumblr media
Genre: Dark Urban Fantasy Standalone.
Status: First Draft Complete (117k)—Revising for beta round one.
There's a clock tattooed on Nemesis's wrist, and when it reaches midnight on his 21st birthday, it will kill him. It doesn't help that his mom is the one that cursed him, and the demon currently possessing his car ate her before Nemesis could convince her to break the damned thing. Thankfully, Judge came prepared with an alternative: help him break into a mythical living city and steal its heart, and in return, he'll shatter Nemesis's curse for free. Accompanied by a three-headed hellhound, a haunted holy sword, and an excommunicated exorcist, Judge and Nemesis set their sights on an impossible heist. But the closer Nemesis gets to the heart, the more he begins to realize that he isn't the only one under a curse. And if he doesn't find a way to break Judge's soon, his own life will be forfeit as well.
Tumblr media
Genre: Space Opera
Status: 2024 zero drafting from scratch
Two hundred years ago, humanity expanded to the stars only to find a cosmos filled with graves. But then their children began displaying the strange ability to commune with the alien ruins scattered across the planets, waking ancient, extrasolar mecha from their sleep, and turned the struggling colonies of space explorers into the fledgling galactic nation of Sol Galatea.  Now, Wren Akane is on the run from the whole galaxy, wanted for the strange alien powers throbbing through his veins. His luck runs out when he accidentally awakens an ancient Relic in the desert of his planet, only to be embedded with the memories of its last pilot and the revelation that the war that littered the cosmos with graves is far from over. But no one believes Wren when he tells them that continuing to wake the Relics will bring the hostile alien empire that destroyed them back to Sol Galatea’s doorstep. Only Wren’s rival pilot, Marek Khalid, seems interested in a word Wren has to say. But Marek doesn’t want to save Sol Galatea. He has big plans for what to do when the aliens arrive, a rebellion to lead, and if Wren isn’t on his side, he’s in his way. With time running out, Wren must soon decide how far he’s willing to go to save the people that never tried to save him—or if Marek is right, and he should let the stars burn instead.
Tumblr media
Genre: Adult Romantasy
Status: First Draft (1k/100k)
Once a year, Celestials from all across the Lumina Kingdom gather together for Eventide, the season of courtship, hoping to win the hand of the most eligible star at court. Sirius knows the game they play all too well: by day, he is the forgettable, miserable daughter of the Lumina Family, least of his seven siblings and wanted only for the royal blood running through his veins.  By night, however, Sirius is the Starweaver—the mysterious dressmaker taking the kingdom by storm. Everyone wants to know the identity of the one responsible for elaborate outfits that turn even the quietest Celestial in the room into the star of the show, outshining even Sirius’s luminous sibling, Diana. When the infamous King Beyond Midnight arrives with the intent to wed Diana, Sirius finds his secret in jeopardy when the condition for their hand in marriage is a simple challenge: reveal the Starweaver's true identity. There’s no outsmarting Octavian for long, and soon, Sirius will have to make a choice: give up on his passion and stay hidden forever, or risk everything to stay true to who he really is.
Tumblr media
Genre: Second World Urban Fantasy
Status: Outlining
Something changes the day that Nakano Touya returns to the crumbling city of Soma Lux. It starts with voices in the radio static, blurry figures caught on camera, always out of focus. When a monster crawls out of Touya's television screen and eats him, the last thing he expects is to find a strange, shadowy otherworld lurking on the other side. But his biggest problem isn't the monsters of the otherworld that want to eat him, or the talking cat that saved him, now living in his apartment without a care in sight. Soma Lux is experiencing a strange new epidemic—one that Touya is completely unaffected by. But when his half-sister falls comatose, Touya knows he has to get to the bottom of it all to save her—and find out why he's the only one immune. Accompanied by his jaded ex-boyfriend, Touya’s nosy classmates, a part-time fortune teller, and a cantankerous old hag, Touya dives into the murky underbelly of Soma Lux, where the realities have begun to bleed together between his world and the next. 
That's all for now! >:3 Here's to an amazing 2024! (also my actual blog is a mess right now please do not mind it ksjndfskfn)

Would the skeletons be down to watch movies or tv shows with a human friend? And what is their favorite genre?
Undertale Sans - An activity when he can just sit and do nothing? Count him in! He's a sci-fi lover, so pretty much any movie with aliens will please him. Bonus point if the special effects are terrible, he loves cringe movies.
Undertale Papyrus - Sure! He likes comedies the most, but he's happy to discover new things too. He likes everything as long as he can cuddle on the couch. He's a big fan of TV games too, especially quizzes. He takes them very seriously, he's counting points and he will annihilate everyone in the house. He can be a dirty player when he really wants to win.
Underswap Sans - URGH. Really? Blue doesn't like to just sit and do nothing so chances are you start the moving, he loses focus after ten minutes and goes to play on his phone lol. Choose what you want, he really doesn't care.
Underswap Papyrus - He loves this very much, and obviously, you're going to watch either a Disney or a Marvel movie. He knows them all by heart and he saw them 30 times each, but he loves them too much to not watch them again. His favorite things are movie marathons.
Underfell Sans - He likes TV shows where people are fighting for the stupidest thing. Like their wedding day, or a dinner, or because that crazy rich woman can't have a new pair of shoes when she has a billion already. He can't get over it. He loves to bitch with his S/O watching them.
Underfell Papyrus - He doesn't like horror movies but since he wants to impress his S/O he pretends it's his favorite genre ever. Then, he's not sleeping for three days because what the hell he has nightmares and he's scared you will get possessed and he doesn't want that. Worth it though if you liked it.
Horrortale Sans - He's not difficult, whatever you're watching is fine. Anyway, he's going to forget what the show is talking about midway so... He's just there for the free cuddles on the couch honestly.
Horrortale Papyrus - He's a romantic movies sucker, especially around Christmas. He can watch movies for entire days, crying and hugging his pillows (or S/O). It prevents him for working too hard as well when you notice he's too stressed because he can't stop watching them.
Swapfell Sans - He doesn't like watching TV very much, but he can exceptionally watch a movie with you. He likes the old classic ones. Above 2000, he will criticize everything and claim it was better before, which can get very annoying.
Swapfell Papyrus - He likes stupid comedies and funny TV shows, especially when the type of humor is absurd. He's a big fan. He's always finding the worst movies ever so you two can have a good laugh, like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. You don't even want to know how he found that movie.
Fellswap Gold Sans - Only movies that win prizes because he's a snob. You swear he doesn't understand anything to what he is watching like you, but he's pretending very well. One day, you'll catch him.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - He could watch cartoons and animes all day long so YES, please. He can even make some pop corn, and grab a blanket, and make a pillow fort! And then you stay there forever and you never leave!

I haven't seen many horror films and would like some recommendations. What are some must-watch horror movies for someone new to the genre?
oooh this is such a fun question but so hard 2 answer bc horror is like. such a versatile genre & where u should start depends a lot on like what type of movies u enjoy/what ur looking for….
like if u want sci-fi/alien horror then the obvious place 2 start is w alien (1979) and aliens (1986) (there are other sequels as well but the first 2 are the best) & then also the thing (1982) and its prequel film that came out in 2011 (also titled the thing). AND of course the fly (1986) is a must-see...and if u want something more recent nope (2022) or no one will save you (2023)...both a little more artsy and slow-moving than the 80s recs on this list but very very good <3
if ur interested in slashers then again start w the classics scream (1996) is SO fun it deserves its spot in the horror hall of fame...i know what you did last summer (1997) is also a fun & slightly older slasher; cabin in the woods (2011) is great if u want some meta-slasher-horror; ready or not (2019) isn't necessarily a conventional slasher but i'd still include it in this category & it's one of my faves
if found footage is ur jam PLEASE start w creep (2014) probably my fave found footage horror film ever...but also i'm not a huge found footage fan generally speaking lol. that being said the blair witch project (1999) is of course the classic here but it's not my personal fave; other good options if u want something genuinely freaky/scary are the bay (2012) hell house llc (2015) and gonjiam: haunted asylum (2018)
if u want like possessions & demons etc then. start with jennifer's body (2009) if u want horror-comedy it is SO fun & a staple of the genre atp but if u want something scarier then it follows (2014) is a popular one. there have also been a lot of good possesion movies coming out recently i thought smile (2022) talk to me (2022) and when evil lurks (2023) (<- literally JUST watched this one today lol) were all quite spooky
& sort of possession-adjacent but if ur more into hauntings, ghosts, etc then start w the babadook (2014) or his house (2020) both SO good. also the shining (1980) is a classic & la llorona (2019) is a personal fave of mine (NOT. the u.s. 'curse of la llorona' movie. the guatemalan one.)
if u want witches then start w the craft (1996) another sort of fun one <3 or if u want a classic then hungry wives (1972). the love witch (2016) if u want a visually beautiful & less scary one; the witch (2015) if u want a scarier one.
if u want eerie fantasy-horror then the company of wolves (1984) or tale of tales (2015). if u want a creature feature then blood red sky (2021) for vampires, ginger snaps (2000) for werewolves, and a quiet place (2018) for like post-apocalyptic creature invasion horror.
& SPEAKING of post-apocalyptic. if u want zombies i could make a whole separate post but. START w train to busan (2016) & seoul station (2016) the dynamic duo <3 & then if u want some classics from the genre of course night of the living dead (1968), dawn of the dead (2004...i haven't seen the original one u could watch that one too tho...), and 28 days later (2002). raw (2016) if u want an artsier one, the girl with all the gifts (2016) if u want a fun spin on zombie apocalypse, cargo (2017) if u want 2 cry. & if u want something funny then PLEASE watch zombie for sale (2019) or anna and the apocalypse (2017) or one cut of the dead (2017)
if u want kind of a slower-build psychological thriller then the invitation (2015) is one of my faves, but mother! (2017) is also good if u want an artsy pick & gerald's game (2017) and lyle (2014) are good as well
and then just a grab-bag of horror movies that didn't fit perfectly into any of these categories: barbarian (2022) if u want something really scary, piggy (2022) if u want slow-building horror, midsommar (2019) if u want sunshiney culty a24 aesthetic, us (2019) if u want something that'll freak u out & is slasher-adjacent, get out (2017) if u want slow-build thriller vibes, and teeth (2007) if u want teen-girl horror classic.
bear in mind that many of these films overlap between the categories i've divided them into 4 this answer, as is the nature of horror...if u were asking me 2 just like. force myself 2 choose a top 10 horror movies 2 introduce someone 2 horror w no preference 4 genre or vibe...i think my list would probably be (in no particular order):
alien (1979)
2. the fly (1986)
3. jennifer's body (2009)
4. ginger snaps (2000)
5. train to busan (2016) (<- pains me 2 say bc seoul station is my fave zombie movie of all time but if i had 2 choose just one zombie movie 2 introduce someone 2 the genre it would be this one...beginner zombie movie...)
6. scream (1996)
7. his house (2020)
8. barbarian (2022)
9. creep (2014)
10. us (2019)

FNAF Theory: William Afton’s True Motivations
Tumblr media
Since today is Five Nights At Freddy’s 10th Anniversary, I will engage with something that a lot of the fans have already done a lot over the years, but that I still haven’t tried yet: theorizing about the franchise’s ever-so-confusing lore. 
Yep. That’s my first ever FNAF theory, and it’s all about William Afton.
Since the Purple Guy stopped being a nameless serial killer and became an actual character in the series, there’s been a lot of speculation about William’s true motivations. 
Regardless of game, book, or film universe, this man already has: 
Killed five children and stuffed them inside animatronic suits; 
Killed his business partner’s daughter and left her body rotting in an alleyway; 
Built gigantic animatronics designed to lure, trap, and kill children;
Built an underground bunker with dozens of animatronic monsters;
Created small disks that emit frequencies that cause hallucinations;
Created a hallucination gas with the same effects as the Fear gas from the Batman mythos;
Created a special room in his underground bunker designed to give horrific nightmares to children;
And we still don’t know why he did all these things, in any universe, be it game, book, or film.
One of the biggest mysteries of this franchise is why William Afton kills children. Over the years, there have been a lot of theories trying to explain his murder tendencies:
He kills children to exact revenge on Fazbear Entertainment;
He wants revenge against Henry Emily, his business partner;
He wants to revive his dead son, so he’s experimenting on children trying to discover the secrets of the soul and the afterlife;
This is a huge mystery, and it affects a lot of how people think about this franchise, this story, and these characters. It even affects how people see the main timeline of events.
But I think I have an answer: 
William Afton kills children because he seeks the secrets of immortality.
Please don’t laugh, but I believe Five Nights at Freddy’s at its core is a story about a mad scientist trying to transfer souls to robots and gain immortality. 
I know it’s crazy. It sounds ridiculous since the setting originally started to be just a haunted Chuck E. Cheese. 
I don’t even think Scott Cawthon started with this in mind. But I think over time, the franchise shifted into a weird mix between soft sci-fi and horror, and the main killer evolved to match this shift in genre.
Notice how over time FNAF gained: underground bunkers, sentient computer viruses, killer robots, robots with an AI so advanced they are as sentient as humans, and finally, robots so advanced that they are almost indistinguishable from humans.
This is all what FNAF is about. This same pattern is everywhere. First, it infested the games, then it spread through the books. I wouldn’t be surprised if the movies were affected soon. 
FNAF is sci-fi horror now, and you can see how this genre shift influenced how William Afton was depicted. 
Through FNAF 1 to FNAF 4, the killer was just that, a killer. A random serial killer who sought his victims from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. That was the reason why he was just the Purple Guy. 
Tumblr media
Sister Location was the game where the franchise started shifting its gears to sci-fi. It was the installment that introduced William Afton into the games, and he was introduced as an engineer type that secretly produced animatronics to lure and capture children. This is the installment that gave us the underground bunker, and several pieces of evidence that weird testings happened there in the past. 
Tumblr media
Then the books continued flowing, and they continued with this sci-fi shift.
William Afton was first introduced as a character in the Silver Eyes trilogy, and throughout this book trilogy, you can see Afton distancing himself from the serial killer, and becoming more of an evil scientist. 
Tumblr media
In the last book, William Afton is half-robot and able to create murderous robots and discs that give him illusion powers. He even expressively says that he’s after Remnant, the liquid metal that is a fusion between the Animatronics’ metal and the children’s souls. He’s told to be after immortality. 
Then we get Fazbear Frights, FNAF’s Goosebumps, an anthology of short horror stories set in the FNAF universe. In this universe, we get more and more stories about the nature of souls, and remnant, and we get mad scientists who are looking after them. 
We are introduced to Phineas Taggart, a scientist who is studying the secret of human emotions and how they are the key to understanding supernatural events. In the books he creates a robotic creature, the Stitchwraith, using the leftovers of haunted animatronics and dolls from Fazbear Entertainment. 
I believe he was created exactly to reflect on both William and Henry and to show us how the FNAF universe works. It’s no coincidence that the Stitchwraith looks so much like Ennard, and Eleanor, another of this series' original characters, looks so much like Baby. Cursed robotic beings created by humans messing around with supernatural energy. This is what this franchise is all about. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then in the games, we get Pizzeria Simulator, and we are briefly presented with the concept of Remnant again, as well as animatronics present looking for the spirits of children. Baby even remarks she will do what she was created to do. Afton created her to collect remnant, to catch children’s souls and fuse them to the machines. 
And Afton is right there with the Animatronic creatures, now reduced to his Springtrap, or better, Scraptrap persona. There’s a reason why his catchphrase became “I always come back” because that’s his true motivation. He was a sociopath who did horrific experiments on children, all trying to find the secrets of immortality. 
Tumblr media
And no. Contrary to popular belief, he did not start killing after losing his son or seeing the animatronics come to life. I believe that he always knew about remnant and that every time that he killed or kidnapped someone, was with the sole goal of trying to understand how he could make his mind and soul endure after death. 
Heck, I bet even creating Freddy's was part of his plan.
The Fazbear restaurants were always his way to lure and experiment on children from the very beginning.
Why do you think that of all people to be the main murderer, Scott chose the co-founder of the restaurants? 
Because Freddie’s, as well as Circus Baby Pizza World, were always meant as nothing more than killing grounds, places where Afton could lure and capture children to experiment on them. 
That’s why no matter what happens, Fazbear Entertainment will always try to cover up the crimes. Not just because they are greedy, but because for years William was in charge and the whole thing was created just to kill children and steal their souls. They always knew. 
And when Henry realized what he was being accomplice to, it was too late. William ran away, eventually becoming Springtrap, and what was left of his experiments was sold by what was left of his company as children’s entertainment. 
And pieces of his experiments with the souls of murdered children continue infecting the equipment that Fazbear Entertainment uses, creating more murderous animatronics, and more monstrous copies of his soul.
And by this point in the series, I don’t think even fire is enough to destroy what Afton created. He will always come back as more and more fucked up creatures while the spirits of the dead children will never get released. 
That’s the tragedy of FNAF

Formal Sexybeing Contest Intro Post
Greetings, citizen, and welcome to the Glove Kink Cinematic Universe Sexybeing Contest, run by our Most Glorious and Immortal Emperor, @a-green-onion (you can also call me Tooth; pronouns he/him).
What is the Glove Kink Cinematic Universe? More commonly called Lesbian Space Atrocities, or "that microgenre in contemporary queer sci-fi/fantasy, yeah you know, that one", it consists of books like Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee, the Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson, or the Murderbot books by Martha Wells (and many more--these are just my favorites).
If you don't want to see this, the tag to block is #gkcu sexybeing contest. If things get too busy I'll make a separate sideblog for it.
Authors of books being discussed are welcome to participate in any way they want.
Current Status: Nomination form is open until 3/8/2023 or sometime around then-ish.
If you want to be @-mentioned when polls open, you can put your url in the nomination form or reply to this post.
Rules:
Submit characters you personally are attracted to: sexually, romantically, sensually, affectionately, aesthetically, familially, out of a sick sense of horrified fascination, etc. Anyone whose magnetic presence generates desire for you.
Submit as many characters as you like, but one character per form, please! I know we all love a well-functioning bureaucracy.
Only characters from contemporary novels in the sci-fi/fantasy/speculative fiction literary movement sometimes called Lesbian Space Atrocities/Glove Kink Cinematic Universe/etc. This literary movement is nebulously defined and I reserve my right as Emperor to be arbitrary, ridiculous, and unfair in what I include and exclude. You can find some of my personal criteria in the nomination form.
No characters from the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. There are too many fans of that series and I want this to be a chill low-volume tournament.
Nominations close in a week or whenever I remember to close them.
I'll make brackets of some kind using the answers and then you can vote on them by Tumblr poll. Which characters do or don't make it into the contest will depend in part on how many nominations each character gets, so nominate characters even if you're confident someone else has already nominated them.
Corruption: This genre is all about the uses and abuses of power! As such, it is my duty as Emperor to abuse my limited power. If your favorite book doesn't quite meet my personal criteria for inclusion? If your favorite character got eliminated but it was really close you swear, maybe Tumblr glitched and counted it wrong? Something else you want from me? I'm morally flexible. Do not threaten or blackmail me; I'm pretty sure that's against Tumblr TOS and also it's not fun. Bribes are welcomed; do not spend real actual money to bribe me. Seduction is technically possible but I'm in a sexually and romantically monogamous relationship so you'll have to get creative.
Rules are subject to change whenever I feel like it.
Have fun!

Writerly Question Tag
Back from my self-mandated social media break to respond to tags from @urnumber1star, @cowboybrunch, @fortunatetragedy and @the-golden-comet :')
About You
When did you start writing?
Damned if I know. My parents told me that I used to tell my toys stories at bedtime back when I still slept in a cradle, though (I started talking at 6months)
Are the genres/themes you enjoy reading different from the ones you write?
Very different, actually. I love reading sci-fi and almost never touch horror, but I've written tons of horror and only 1 sci-fi. Plus, I hage reading slice of life.
Is there an author (or just a fellow writer!) you want to emulate, or one to whom you’re often compared?
I'm a fan of Mark Lawrence's writing (he's super underrated), and though I'd rather not emulate someone directly, I sure wouldn't mind if someone compared me to him.
Can you tell me a little about your writing space(s)?
The walk to school, the busses and trains I take, walking my dog. Basically on the go.
What’s your most effective way to muster up some muse?
Go out and live my life. Eventually I'll see something cool and insist upon turning it into a short story.
Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and places you write about?
Yeah, it's basically made me physically incapable of writing anyone other than city ppl.
Are there any recurring themes in your writing, and if so, do they surprise you at all?
Err... The horrors persist but so do I is a personal favourite among my one-shots. And platonic male-female relationships is another darling of mine.
Your Characters
Would you please tell me about your current favorite character? (Current WIP, past WIP, never used, etc.)
I literally almost never talk about him, but Hans-el, the Spirit Emperor, chews my heart up and spits it out on a regular basis. I'm currently writing a short story from his pov, which I may or may not try to submit for publishing, so I guess look out for that when it happens?
Which of your characters would you be friends with in real life?
Err- I think Hash, Dave and I would be buddies. They're probably the only ones, though.
Which characters would you dislike the most if you met them?
Everyone else. Iraela would get mocked relentlessly by me, Katherine and I would but heads immediately, and I would cheerfully start a gossip war with Luna. And yeah, I would get my ass kicked in every above fight, but that's never stopped me before.
Tell me about the process of coming up with your characters?
They show up whenever the plot demands it, and then headlock me until I write more about them. Alternatively they infiltrate my dreams and haunt me.
Do you notice any reoccurring themes/traits in your characters?
I like people who destroy themselves in blazes of flaming triumph. Also headstrong bitchy women, because I am one.
How do you picture your characters?
I don't lol. My mind just doesn't do the whole 'mental image' thing. I can hear them though.
Your Writing
What’s your reason for writing?
I have nothing better to do with my life.
Is there a specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating coming from your readers?
If they like something I did with my writing (technique, phrasing, etc) and mention it, I will melt with joy.
How do you want to be thought of by those who read your work?
I just want to be heard.
What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?
Description. I don't really do visual descs, but I love nailing voices to the wall and dissecting them.
What have you been frequently told your greatest writing strength is by others?
Description, dialogue (or internal monologue), and gore
How do you feel about your own writing?
I go through the five stages of grief with it: 'oh I'm finally done', 'i love it so much', 'hey maybe I should edit it some more to make it better', 'oh fuck it actually sucks', 'okay nevermind let's never think of it again'
If you were the last person on earth and knew your writing would never be read by another human, would you still write?
I'd be dead too quickly to write, honestly. But if I survive, fuck yeah. I'll scrawl my words across a meadow and scream it from the sky.
When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely what you enjoy?
Every now and then I cringe from how weird my writing is, but it always passes.
Tagging @just-emis-blog, @drchenquill, @novel-nook-blog, @thecoolerlucky, @the-letterbox-archives
@kaylinalexanderbooks, @honeybewrites, @orions-quill, @vampirelover890, @glitched-dawn and open tag!

Writing Interview Tag Game
Thanks for tagging me @klynnvakarian !
About Me:
When did you start writing?
In my 30s I definitely made an attempt to write a "novel" and did some world building and a few pages of writing and it didn't go anywhere. Then Late 2022 after Rings of Power season 1 just joining the Haladriel fandom I read so much fic that I thought maybe I could do some as well. Got some encouragement from other haladriel writers (crucial for me)
Are there different genres or themes you enjoy reading other than the ones you write?
I love history and science non-fiction. I mostly am writing in the fantasy fan-fiction space, but I do like sci-fi as my first love.
Is there an author you want to emulate, or are compared to often?
I either consciously or unconsciously imagine I am writing in the voice that Frank Herbert used in the Dune series. Maybe mixed with some George RR Martin and a tinge of Tolkien.
Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?
Vast majority of my writing was on an iPad lying in my bed before sleep when no one needs my attention.
What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?
I usually write a chapter per month so it's just random thoughts or reminders while reading other fics which inspire me to write a snippet here or there when I have the energy.
The other big muse I've found in recent months was actually listening to or reading Tolkien books: "The Silmarillion", "Beren and Luthien" and "Fall of Gondolin" the beautiful prose and the rich lore just sparks new ideas I want to try to play off of or emulate in my own fics.
Are there any reoccurring themes in your writing? If so do they surprise you?
I always like stories of characters that are beaten down, up against the world, maybe a little unappreciated, but not giving up. Even if they cannot win they try their best and work hard. A lot of sadness too. I don't express much of that sadness IRL so that is a bit surprising.
Characters:
Would you please tell me about your current favorite character?
Tough call - probably the Lady of Light, Galadriel based on the ROP - characterization
Which of your characters would you be friends with in real life?
Hmm, I'm not sure if I would be best friends but I think I would get along with Ereddâz, my Orc OC from A Lord and his Builder.
I think Galadriel would ignore me and Sauron would send me to his dungeons to be a thrall.
Which characters would you dislike the most if you met them?
Melkor from my First Fire in the Void fic
Do you notice any reoccurring themes/traits in your characters?
I touched on it above, I think I like writing characters that believe they are doing the right thing. I do not like writing characters that are specifically and intentionally bad. Even my villains have plausible motivations or perspectives to justify their actions.
How do you picture your characters?
Most of my writing is currently around the Rings of Power cast and that style.
I am dabbling with non-ROP fics, like First Fire in the Void and there I pictured Mairon based on a lot of fanart that basically draws him like a pretty woman with long red hair lol.
My Writing:
What’s your reason for writing?
A creative outlet. For years and years I would day dream my own stories, going back to when I was a kid, I was also a pretty decent DnD DM making up my own campaigns. I've often had dreams of telling stories by creating video games (I am a software dev professionally) but I usually get stuck on the actual technology side of creating a game and can never get to the creative side. By writing fic, I was able to just get my ideas out there without being held back by the lack of skills in other areas (game dev, art, making a story interactive and still make sense)
Is there any specific comment or type of comment from readers that you find particularly motivating?
Ive gotten a few amazing comments that say this is their favorite fic and I can't believe it since I just write one of many thousands of fics so I feel honored, and for my WIPs a little pressured, to produce more at that level.
How do you want to be thought about by your readers?
I want to write stories other people like, I do think about how can I make a story original in a way no one else does? What's a premise no one else has or could be done differently?
But really I am mostly writing stories that I like?
What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?
I think putting my characters through emotionally charged or traumatic events where they have realistic responses or reactions that I or I think readers might relate to emotionally.
How do you feel about your own writing?
I read other writing and it feels so polished and natural. I often feel like I am "emulating good writing" rather than being a good writer myself. I like my stories and plots but I am not always impressed by the words on the page after writing them. Sometimes I just give up during editing and just post and people seem to like it enough.
When you write are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, do you write purely for yourself, or is it a mix of both?
AS I was saying I do think about the readers and I'm surely influenced by what I see in the community and what people respond to but every single idea is a kind of "wouldn't this be cool" idea I have myself first and then I judge how much I think other people would also find it to be cool or enjoyable. That part I sometimes guess at or things resonate with others that I didn't expect
No pressure tags!
