#but WOW is this a blast from the past

[hermits-that-craft]

hey I know you've retired now (yay!) from here but on the off-chance you see this: I just had the mother of all double-take moments after earlier this month re-discovering a fic from the early, early days of my dsmp fandomhood that I had been searching for for years. I saved it in my browser to read when I needed a moment of comfort, anyway today was the day I finally cracked out staying with the traitor again and the absolute FACE I pulled when I got to the end and it said "follow me on tumblr (hermits-that-craft)" like WAIT HOLD ON this entire time it was you!! anyway I know it was like 3 chapters long but that fic is legendary to me. thank you for writing it all that time ago and thank you for leaving it on ao3 even after you left our sphere behind :)

jkbhjd im so glad you refound it! there is actually a fourth chapter, and there was plans for a longer fic, but i was writing this during some of my final exams for that year, so i never ended up finishing it!

honestly its very heartwarming that you still enjoy it! im glad you found that fic, i hope it continues to bring comfort for as long as you need it!

Made this a LONG time ago (like four years ago) and never posted it??? Although it's very possible that I posted it on my old art blog that I don't use anymore. Anyways... here's Damian.

I was playing around with just using the polygonal lasso tool in photoshop to make all my shapes! And I'm pretty sure I was using animated movie Damian as reference as you can probably tell.

MiqoMarch: Introduction

This is Shokta Saab! A girl I haven't broken out for a long while.

Hunter and jewelry maker of the Saab tribe deep in the Shroud.

A transwoman, but her journey has been met with love, and very little strife. The tribe all working together to help Shokta become comfortable in her body, as they have done with other members.

A hearer, able to hear the whispers of the elementals, but she had to do go several things to be able to hear them clearly.

She's young, shy, probably on the spectrum, and she once dated a matriach of another miqo'te tribe, Rhel, played by @bramble-star.

I believe the first fic of yours I read was No Such Thing? There are parts of that story that have lived rent free in my brain since I first read it. It's been years and I'm so happy you're still here and sharing your ideas, no matter what fandom you're in 🖤

This is sooo late I'm sorry, but thank you very much Aud 🫶🫶🫶 you've forever been supportive of every fandom I'm in and I forever appreciate you <333 you're a lovely mutual and I'm so glad to know you and see you and your fics on my dash!! 🥹❤️❤️

Hi! I wanted to ask if I could repost and translate your fanfic "Entangled" (with credits ofc) on ficbook.net 👀

Hi! As long as you credit me and post it with a link to my original fic on AO3 (and a link to my tumblr account also) I am happy to give permission for you to translate it. Thank you so much for asking first! 💜 I will request that my illustrations be left out of your repost though.

[ataintedcure]

hi, good evening I wanted you to know that I’ve named my sprigatito after Cinth! :D for better or for worst Cinth is now memorialized in my pkmn game.

I'll be honest I had to look up what a sprigatito was, but I'm honored your Pokemon shares his name!! The little green kitty is so cute <3 <3

Train him well, okay? He's in your capable hands!

Post the first line from your first fic on AO3 and the last line from your last fic!

Tagged by: @forerussake. Thanks!! <3

oh my, we’re going back. fun fact, my early fic on ao3 is not in correct chronological order from when i originally posted it because it was moved over from LJ and I’m a mess like that.

First Fic: so this was a bit of a surprise because what i had always in my head thought of as my first fic was actually my first exchange fic, which is a big difference. my first fic is one I chose not to bring over to ao3, which is why I had mostly forgotten about it. it’s funny, because looking back on it, my writing style is still very much me, but since it was a first fic, it’s very heavy on a lot of character tropes that i look back on and go nope nope nope.

But this meme calls for first ao3 fic so here we go.

What To Do When Your Little Bro Starts Dating the Douchiest Douchebag in the World (Hetalia, Prussia, Russia/Germany, not rated)

It all started rather innocuously.

(The funny thing about this fic is it’s center on giving the shovel talk, which is a trope I absolutely hate)

Last Fic: my TKA secret santa fic!

seven players. six hours. one goal. no second chances. (The King’s Avatar, Yu Wenzhou + Blue Rain, gen)

As one, the team calls out in unison. “Profit!”

(Okay so this is not actually the last line of the fic, it is the last line of the tiny outtake/epilogue I put in the end notes. because my spoiler-averse self simply cannot post the last line of a fic. i just can’t.)

lmao we're basically writing group fanfiction on your blog

aKDJFMLDKFMKDFFD BASICALLY

i said once that my blog became a sort of forum, and this just adds to it.

from character analysis to discussion of possible plotline to "what if-" and "yeah and-" each other enough that at this point there is an overly complicated post-canon lore and story to our ramblings

collaborative project in my DMs, who knew it would come to this

TIDE BRAND DETERGENT IS USING MANIPULATION TACTICS OUTLAWED BY THE GENEVA CONVENTION

[sydmarch]

sans

First impression

i hate this before i ever played undertale i was exposed to smut of him on this godforsaken site and was like oh???

Impression now

he's just a silly little guy. would still smash tho sorey

Favorite moment

uhhh it's been so many years since i last played ut i truly can't remember a lot of the specifics

Idea for a story

idk!

Unpopular opinion

i can't get into this i remember when whether he would dom or sub was soooo hotly debated you couldn't even talk about it LOL. but ok he would sub i'm sorry ik everyone on here was portraying him as some daddy back in the undertale heyday but that's just not it.

Favorite relationship

sans/toriel

Favorite headcanon

hmmm i really can't remember if there were any i was particularly attached to

[agent-cupcake]

I was rereading your Dolos fic when I realized that you wrote Yuri saying ‘I have half a mind to steal you back to fodlan’ which is very similar to the Sylvain/Ashe support line in Three Hopes. A coincidence? I don’t know…

Three Hopes stole original agent-cupcake™ content right from my very own blog and I can no longer stand for it

[i-will-physically-fight-you]

So. On AO3 you have a fic called Wonderland. I am curious if you have thoughts to share on that?

For example, I'm curious if it's canon verse or not, if Virgil has been missing for a long time, how he knows Roman (if not canon verse) and what powers Virgil might potentially have :)

And any other thoughts you might potentially have that I am not smart enough to think to ask :)

Oooho! This was not a fic I was expecting but sure! It started off as a tumblr prompt fic (see here) and it was mainly "Let's just keep writing and see where we land up" type of vibes.

This was written in 2018 where I was in my "I'll write Janus as a villain but keep in mind, he's not like other fanon villain interpretations, he's complex and multi-faceted except I fail to elaborate on these thoughts so he comes off " era, not that this fic really touched on Janus outside of Roman's description of him. Given it was a 2018 fic, if I wrote it nowadays I would've included a lot more set-up to the fic to avoid a clumsy exposition dump but I still like the core concept behind it.

My favorite line from this fic is: When in a crisis, memes are always the answer.

In terms of its validity as being a canon-verse fic or not, I actually intended it as an AU, but I really like that interpretation of it being a canon-verse fic that involves fun mindscape hijinks.

In terms of how long Virgil has been missing, Roman hasn't seen him in three years, so that's roughly the length of time he's been missing.

As to how Roman knows Virgil and his potential powers, well. Fun fact, The Chasm of the Night started as a prequel fic to this. The idea I had in mind was Virgil interacting with each of the "Light Sides" and helping them escape their own Twilight Zone predicaments before ending up stuck himself and then getting reintroduced and--yeah, it's a whole mess. As it stands, the two fics don't really connect well, and in fact I've toyed with rewriting Wonderland, but ah. Who knows if I'll be able to get to that :')

Director's Cut! Distract me by asking me any questions you may have on a fic of mine!
