#candyskiez ramblings nobody asked for

[candyskiez]

fuck it I had a lot of fun earlier so!

take this, whenever you see this, as an invitation to ask me for questions on my interests! (toh, she ra, steven universe, nimona, infinity train, spiderverse, amphibia, anything you've seen me post about)

ask me whatever you want! opinions on a certain episode, thoughts on what something meant, say one of your own headcanons, opinions on a popular concept, opinions on a character, whatever! feel free to ask me whatever you want, I can't promise I'll be quick but I WILL reply. go wild, send me an ask I wanna do this more.

[candyskiez]

okay question, absolutely no promises but would there be an audience for a fic about the day of unity and after from the perspective of random everyday people. like. the person who ran a potion shop. the waiter at a bar. a random scout. the people who wrote the graffiti on the statues and the owl house and the castle. all the everyday people who were fucked over. would anyone be interested in that

[candyskiez]

holy shit

20 questions for fic authors

thank you to my lovely mutual @zyrafowe-sny for the tag! for my no pressure tagging, only if you wanna, @phantasmaltrain @thousand-winters @kolapon @msbadatnamingthings @violet-prism-creatively @sir-ballister-boldheart @bleezebrew and anyone else who wants to join in!

how many fics do you have on ao3?

18! most are shoved to pseuds because I do not want them associated w me anymore but I don't want to make it so people who like the fics can't find more by me because that shit drives me insane.

what's your total ao3 word count?

29,876

what fandoms do you write for?

the owl house, mostly. I'm planning on expanding to more, writing for several more fandoms now in fact. but I mean if you've seen one of my fics somewhere, it's probably from owl house.

what are your top five fics by kudos?

an open book (with a torn out page) is very much in the lead still, stubborn is in second, loyal is in third, eggwart salad in fourth, and identity in fifth. I do think most of that is the toh fics being that popular because hunter + they were made during the show being super !!!!!, so when I post more fics the rating will probably change more. one day I'll actually finish more lmao I'm sorry guys I'm busy as shit.

do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I try to! because when I'm commenting I'm always worried I'm being annoying andbtoo much about the fic and bugging the author so me replying is me trying to say "hey!!! I really appreciate this!!!!", although sometimes I just don't know what to say and ghost (sorry!!!!)

what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

ohhh god I gotta talk about my old fics great /lh, cold probably. I think it's the only FULLY hurt no comfort I've ever written? it and settle for a ghost. I'm leaning towards cold because

A. I hate settle for a ghost /lh

B. cold is literally about Pure Pain. there is no silver lining there is no "this character in canon gets a happy ending", it's just "this character is gonna die horribly in a few days, here's some angst"

what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I mean, eggwart salad is entirely father son fluff. it's just darius loving his weird son for several thousand words. but if we're talking fics with some sadder parts with a happier ending, probably happy new year, dear, or maybbbeeeee roses and lilies? I used to write a lot of that shit. man I need to write more of it.

do you get hate on fics?

not yet

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

none published no. that is all I'm gonna say and y'all can mind your business on everything else /lh

do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?

nope! never been my forte besides shit like in the setting of another media. ex, what if [x] character was a pokemon trainer and that shit.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

not to my knowledge but they've probably been gobbled up by an ai at least once 😔

have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

have you ever cowriten a fic before?

that depends on your definition! I've done a lot of things where me and a group will brainstorm an idea together, make into a fully fledged thing and we'll all suggest dialogue. some of those conversations have become fics, sometimes even with my dialogue and a lot of my ideas. so I guess...yeah, I've cowriten fics! if that's your definition.

what's your all-time favorite ship?

hmmm, I'm not as much of a shipper anymore. but I did love twohina back in 2020-2021-2022 (ifykyk) and I do have a soft spot for raeda. goldenheart is currently blorboing though and I do love huntlow. and oh I love zukka! I don't know if I really have a favorite ship, though.

what's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I really really really REALLY wanna finish dadrius week and am trying so hard. but ohhh my god my life is on fucking fire lately July just kind of exploded and it's been downhill from there lmao. but I'm slowly getting back up again so hopefully I do finish it. sorry gang my life's been on fire. as y'all have probably noticed lmao.

what's your writing strengths?

INTROSPECTION!!!! ohhh my god. character studies I like to think I can do pretty well! character analysis is my special interest. give me a character and I will find a way to give them depth so help me god.

what's your writing weaknesses?

ohhhh god. describing actions. like hand motions, fight motions, movements, expressions, visual shit, or anything descriptive, or just! shit like that! it's insane!! I don't fuckin know how!!!!

thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I have no fucking clue how and considering I want to write more luz stuff I really should learn. the problem is I Have No Fucking Clue How. do you see the issue.

first fandom you wrote for?

warriors, not on ao3. first fandom bb.

favorite fic you've ever written?

open book! I think it holds up pretty well, although I do wish I focused more on how the secret effects gus. one day I really want to sit down and write something with him , I just need to get in his head more. I do think my hunter characterization was pretty good there? I think? I hope so. I need to work on him again, he's tough to nail down.

thanks for the tag, and I hope you enjoyed seeing my thoughts :D

for anyone curious, my ao3 is here! mind the spoilers!

Hi!!!

For the ask game: 😂🤔🗑️ (any of these you like or all of them if you wish)

"man. i think the show itself tortures me enough as it is" in response to me writing a VERY angsty fic

i really, really wanna write a role swap fic. I fucking love that trope. and I hate when people make the characters just,,, swap personalities?? because what's so cool about role swaps is giving the characters the same roles and then seeing what THEYD do with that role. not following the story beat for beat. I wanna do that so bad man.

I had a whole fic about rewriting history on the isles to be more accurate but so much of it revolved around hunter and flapjack and flapjack setting the record straight about caleb and. Yeah 😭😭 sucks because some of the lines FUCKED

[candyskiez]

also I'm sorry for spamming su lately. it will probably keep happening I think I'm starting to hyperfixtate on it against my will. I am so sorry 😭

[candyskiez]

alright, new intro post, letsago.

a lot of people here call me candy which is fine. I'm candyskiez on AO3, and I write. this is both for me nerding out about my interests, and for me saying Stuff about myself here. I'm the host of a system so if you're shitty to systems, leave. I'm endo safe, I really don't give a shit about discourse. don't pry into my business and I won't pry into yours. I really just do not care. the world is on fire I cannot emphasize enough how little I give a shit about why there are people in someone's brain. we've all got bigger issues do you wanna talk about media analysis or not
