actually another reason that dasher fan hating post is so funny is because anon goes "let them be childhood friends in peace" and erik himself proceeds to not do so, himself.

like yeah they could be just friends, but why did david let him kiss his cheek? LMFAO

and then in another audio david talks about how dating within the pack just makes the dynamic weird

but in another universe, they do end up together (granted he does die in that universe, but thats irrelevant)

and like- he basically implies that the only thing actually stopping him is pack dynamics, in this universe anyway-

and helping him with his tie???? and calling them 2 sides of the same coin????? and getting married together??????

five things i never get tired of writing <3

waaahhh thank you for the tags!! tagged by my darlings chrys @sealriously-sealrious , frenchie @frenchiefitzhere , and beans @glassbearclock - i can't remember who has and hasn't played yet, so open tags for this one!! go on, i dare you 😈😈

1. INTERNAL MONOLOGUES. I WILL NEVER STOP WRITING INTERNAL MONOLOGUES. YOU LITERALLY CANNOT MAKE ME. 🔫🔫🔫 in all seriousness i adore writing these - especially from character povs just because of that extra meta layer, but i just love digging into the character voice and really going for it, you know?? describing the environment and what’s going on through a specific perspective is always top tier in my mind, and i find that it can be REALLY powerful if you get the balance right. my favourite thing to do with these is definitely mindbreaks and crisis states (in the style of mad or sublime or rebel flesh), but it’s just as fun to be totally dizzy with it as well (a la body contact and a ring on the carousel) 💕💕💕

this also goes hand in hand with-

2. UNRELIABLE NARRATORS!!! playing with perspective, deliberately withholding or distorting information, being highly ambiguous, implying information but not stating it outright, actually straight up lying to the reader...... i'm telling you, that's what keeps me going 🥰🥰🥰 it’s so unbelievably satisfying if i can get it right, and i feel like it adds a lovely layer of uncertainty and ambiguity for the reader that can really whack it up to 11 - i think my best examples are probably motion capture and one more paradox, just bc my main goal was to make you shout at the screen like “come on, you idiot, it’s right there!!!” and i think i managed to nail it hehe

3. making up lore - this will be exactly no surprise if you’ve read SOUL MATE or i shall be mr seek (or indeed if you’ve ever read one of my lore theory posts), but i ADORE coming up with canon-compliant hcs and slotting them into existing lore 😍😍😍 presenting canon events in a new context, adding more background information to flesh out a character who might be a little thin on the ground in the origin story department, coming up with pseudoscientific justifications for canon events or abilities, in the style of sodium laureth sulphate and study session 01...... ooh, it’s my bread and butter, it really is.

4. i actually really enjoy writing dialogue, but ONLY for certain characters - if the voice makes sense to me, and i feel like i have a decent handle on the character?? give me gavin or milo and *chef's kiss* the dialogue writes itself babeyyy 🤩🤩 i know get in, loser! is really, REALLY long for me but i had virtually no trouble writing any of the dialogue, because his voice comes quite naturally to me, so his back-and-forth with freelancer was a total walk in the park - contrast to my ash and william wips, which have been sitting in google docs hell for months because i just CANNOT get the voices right [head in hands]

5. like.... the end??? this will make sense in a minute: basically all of my fics finish the same way, with a few longer, metaphor-heavy, run-on-sentence-filled paragraphs that fiddle with the pace and are full of callbacks to earlier phrases or imagery - idk how to explain it, but if you've ever read any of my writing then you've definitely seen it before! writing the end of a fic is always one of my favourite bits bc i get to pack in all those lovely callbacks and huge, overblown metaphors that i’ve been building to - see the wedding imagery at the end of mad or sublime, or the bit about what ‘mate’ means at the end of SWEET TALK - and i get to use all those really cool lines i’ve come up with while i was writing something else lmao 🤡🤡 that lovely suspension and freefall that comes with the long stretch of emotional imagery, followed by a nice quick sucker punch of an ending?? i will never give this up i'm sorry <3

Hi Romi! I’ve been reading your fics on ao3 lately and I LOVE THEM SM!!!! This led me to install tumblr on my phone even tho idk how to use it just to check out some more of your work and some WIPs you have :D

Speaking of which, I don’t really know if you’re accepting requests but I would like to suggest maybe like a Celebrity AU fic with the wolf bois? LIKE the pack are all in like,, a band (David is the leader while also being the drummer, Ash is the guitarist, Milo is the bassist & Darlin is the main vocalist)

Aaand on the other hand, their mates are celebrities of different types (like for example Angel is a singer, Babe is a model, Sweetheart is a famous youtuber/vlogger & Sam is an actor) and then they all somehow meet each other, fall in love, date, and then BOOM they gotta learn how to navigate the ups and downs in their relationships as celebs & make sure not to cause any drama or scandals from their fans or something hrhthhdhd

But yeah haha just a suggestion lol if you’re not accepting reqs then it’s ok I also just wanted to give you my kudos here as well ^^

Hi, Anon! Oh my gosh, how kind of you to reach out to let me know you are reading my AO3 fics! I'm so grateful to know that you are enjoying the work. And for you to download tumblr?! Ahhh, that makes me feel so warm. I'm sending you all the hearts and hugs!

Thank you so much for sharing this AU idea with me. I'm so touched you'd trust me to fulfill your creative visions. For right now, I'm sorry to say that I'm not actively seeking prompts or able to fill yours at the moment. I hope you understand. I'm currently working on another fic (here's a post with all the released snippets so far of that one!), and I've found that I work best while having only one storyline inside my head. That practice helps me focus and to figure out the story. For the most part, it's just too hard for me to have more than one WIP going at the same time. I don't feel I spend enough effort on either one. Not only that, but I'm a super-slow writer, so one project at a time helps me make steady progress.

Sometimes I do open up prompts and solicit oneshot requests, though! I don't have set dates/times, but I usually do so after finishing a long fic, hitting a follower milestone, or if I see a prompt list that catches my eye, so please do feel free to be on the lookout for that! Additionally, if I see a headcanon/idea that could be pertinent to a current or future fic, I love to incorporate that idea into the story (with permission and credit to the person who came up with the idea.)

Thanks again for reaching out. Please feel welcome and free to stop by my inbox anytime you'd like! <3 Have a great night/day!
