Y’all, y’all, I know this is (among many, many other things) the talk-about-your-fanfics site but I physically cannot talk about them without being prompted. However, because I am dying to talk about them, I have decided to do it in the format of an ask game.
What story (stories?) are you writing rn that you’ll most likely publish next? ∩(´∀`∩)
What story (stories?) are you writing rn that will most likely linger in your head for an undetermined period of time? (*´▽`*)
What tropes do you like writing about the most? (´▽`ʃƪ)
Lore dump about the OCs (see tags for options)! (∩˃o˂∩)
One individual fun fact for each OC in the tags. ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ
Longest fic you’ve written (published or not)? ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Shortest fic you’ve written (published or not)? ‹•.•›
Fic that is near and dear to your heart? ♡
Top three fics you’ve written (in author’s opinion)? ♡♡♡
Story Moodboard of choice (either you or author picks the story; author makes). (◡‿◡✿)
OC Moodboard of choice (either you or author picks the OC; author makes). ❀☉‿☉❀
Write another line in your WIP (rude, productive, but okay). ◔̯◔
Drop a playlist for a story! ♪♡♪
Umm… yeah, so feel free to reblog to use the ask game yourself!! Fingers crossed all those nervous writers get to lore dump, yeah?
#for purposes published here means put on Ao3/fanfic/tumblr/etc for all to see#Not published like book published#Although good on you if you’ve gotten published-published!!!#I really hope this is how you ask game#Gahhh fingers crossed!!#Anyway; here are my OC options:#mara#kirsi#aay’han#do sole survivors count?#Yeah I’ll have them count#Sole survivors Nate and Nora#Okay admittedly I don’t have a ton of OC options but each of them get me excited to talk and/or write#The crew of the judgement day#woops almost forgot them even tho each and every one is an OC#just yelling into the void#ask#is this how you ask game?#originally i thought you could copy + paste the fun emoji guys but then i realized that was a lot of work so voila! numbers!!

”you remembered that?” + kunikidazai ? :D
hehe hi anon!!
"Kunikida-san, do you want one?" Kunikida looks up and sees Atsushi holding out a plate of donuts from the café downstairs. They are all topped with different flavours and decorations. "Oh, thank you. Any is fine," Kunikida replies. Atsushi nods, reaching for a napkin and the chocolate-covered donut when Dazai suddenly speaks up. "Kunikida-kun likes vanilla best. The one with the— no, the other one. Yeah, with the drizzle." Kunikida glances at him in surprise. "How do you know that?" As Atsushi passes him the donut, Dazai gives him a weird look. "You said it yourself. That time when we got donuts for everyone last Christmas." Kunikida gapes. Now that Dazai mentioned it, he did say that, but that was almost seven months ago. He can't believe... "You remembered that?" Dazai flinches. He turns away, resting his chin on his palm with an air of faux nonchalance. "I just have good memory." Kunikida's heart skips a beat. He huffs, kicking Dazai gently from under the desk. "Thank you." Dazai doesn't reply, but he kicks back with reddening cheeks, and Kunikida smiles to himself.
#i miss them so much i am going to die. jump into the ocean. fly into the sun etc etc#ask game#my writing#bsd#kunikidazai

🌹🌹 Wriggle Up and/or New York Minute pleassssse 🙏
yesssss okay new york minute has taken over my brain for a moment so i'll go with an excuse to share some of that one
('new york minute' is my first fic for the bear, btw, it is a cousin michelle from the christmas episode pov of The Whole New York Debacle. as always i am really really anxious taking my first try at character voices, and picking a pov character who is a minor side character in one (1) episode has been both freeing and anxiety provoking LMAO. so. here's this.)
(also it's.... long. we know this about me and clips.)
As soon as Carmy is under her roof, safely tucked away in her guest room, Michelle takes what feels like her first full breath in since Christmas. It’s not like everything is magically okay now - Carmy certainly isn’t okay, and he’s just one little piece of the whole fucked up puzzle, but she’s finally done something about it. Michelle has found the one piece of that puzzle that she can do anything about at all and she’s done it. That’s the part that’s driven her the most out of her mind - knowing that things need to be done, that nothing is alright in Chicago, and not knowing what to do. Who to try and help, never mind how.
Natalie has Pete and her friends from school. She’s got a home and distance and she’d mentioned while on a walk with Michelle, looking away like she wasn’t sure what the response would be, that she had started therapy after Thanksgiving. And Michael has… Well. When they talk on the phone, Natalie doesn’t have a lot to say about Michael that’s encouraging. Michelle is worried about Michael but it’s not like she can do anything about that. They were close when they were younger but the older they got and the more Donna took a shine to her the more strained her relationship with Michael got. They were a competition of their own, really, or at least a battlefield on the war between their mothers.
Grandpa Berzatto, right? Michael Berzatto. A looming figure gone before any of her generation was born, and so of course the oldest grandchild is named after him - both of them were, at the beginning and the end of the same year, one down each branch of the family tree. Michael and Michelle. They thought it was funny when they were younger. Used to tell people they were twins, when they were real little. It’s not like that anymore. At least Richie is there, though. At least Richie is always there.
Thank god for Richie, said almost no one ever and Michelle several times over the course of her life.
One time, she was seventeen and going out with a guy who was far too old for her and a massive asshole on top of that. When she finally dumped him and his reaction scared her enough to tell them what was going on, Michael and Richie got a baseball bat and a tire iron out of the garage and broke every window and light cover on the guy’s car. Richie took one of the pieces from the tail-light to wood shop class the next day and while the teacher was off making sure some sophomores didn’t lose any fingers using a table saw, he sanded down the edges and put a hole through it, then gave it to her on a keychain. Michelle still has it somewhere. Michelle still has that keychain somewhere and Richie still has Michael and so that’s one thing she doesn’t have to worry about not being able to fix.
So there’s nothing to do for any of them, because Natalie is going to be okay in ways that even Michelle isn’t, and Michael is out of her reach, and Donna is out of everyone’s reach. (Donna needs help. She’s obviously suffering and needs some serious help, but Michelle learned long ago with her own mother that there’s no forcing help on someone who won’t accept it and will stop speaking to you for months if you try to push it anyway.)
But Carmy… Carmy is in her guest room and it’s still pretty early but she thinks he’s asleep and this she can do. This, him, Michelle can help.
(Michael caught her on the way out, when she and Stevie were leaving. She was worried for a moment, because he had that intense look on his face that meant trouble could be coming, and when he said heard you asked Carm to come stay with you for a few days in New York she steeled her nerves for one last explosion for the road. Michael was silent and Michelle was silent and he still had a hold of her arm but he wasn’t squeezing or anything so she let him keep his hand for now. And then he just said Good. Get him the fuck out of here and do not let him come back. Then he gave her a hug so tight she couldn’t breathe and kissed her on the cheek and said love you, Mitch and he was gone.)
#there is so much like. woe. this VAST NETWORK OF HEADCANONS IVE DEVELOPED be upon ye#in this fic#about the specifics of like. how is cousin michelle related to them. what's their relationship like. did they grow up together etc.#gav gab#gav answers#define-lying#writing liveblog#ask box games#fic: new york minute

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol
#I added a few people that you can randomly run into around town (like at the inn or in the forest or etc) and have very short conversations#with just to kind of flesh out the world a little more in a more natural-ish seeming way. Like nobody in the main cast would really#have much reason to talk about the actual city you're in or anything. Since most of them havent lived there that long anyway.#But if there's a ''city inspector'' that you can run into whilst he's writing up notes examining the local inn. then maybe there could be a#few dialogue options with him where you can ask about things like that. since he would know more about the area as an offical Government#Worker or etc. Optional of course. since I have to be so wary of my natural inclination to lore dump lol and am trying extra hard to make i#all stuff thats easily avoided/skipped. But for the people like ME who deliberately choose to exhaust every possible optional dialogue#option and explore every single inch of the world and try to collect as much information as possible - then there are a few extra places to#do that. Though obviously not all of them just give exposition for like 15 paragraphs blandly. Some you don't really learn anything from#and it's kind of just.. random flavor to make the non-shop map locations more ''lived in'' feeling. Like the random#little girl you can talk to in the park doesn't bizarrely start reading out the wikipedia description of some War that happened 10 years ag#or whatever. she's just complains about school a little and asks if you've tried the nearby ice cream cart treats and etc lol#ANYWAY..#some of the art is so so evil but I'm not going to spend 800 years trying to clean it up and update it. whatever the hell mess I sketched#out in 2018 or whatever is just what I'm keeping lol... it is what it is#One of the many trials of the whole 'briefly work a few months on something and then abandon it almost entirely only to pick up work#on it literally like 4 - 5 yrs later and now you must contend with trying to decipher whatever weird shit you did years ago' experience lol#Also given the population breakdowns of the world in general I think there's an unrealistic amount of jhevona in this lineup since#they're a much rarer species to just see out and about anywhere but.. it IS a global trading center type area. and the game#takes place in the north (the country of Asen. near the coast. for the maybe 2 or less people who actually keep up with my worldbuilding#enough to know where that is lol (the same continent as Navyete (where the avirre'thel live)) and there's a decent concentration#of nothern jhevona only a short ways away so... tee hee..I shall pretend it makes sense and not merely me just wanting#to represent more of that species because I think their lore is interesting lol#I MEAN also realistically there would NOT be a human here because humans are extremely isolated species that don't even know the rest#of the world exists really and human territories are extremely protected from the outside world but... of course it's like.. well we need#at least One of them to be there for the Optional Lore. Same with the Ythrili. But at least those are like.. PLAUSIBLE.. not nonsensically#outlandish. If I had a Verrucalt or something in there THEN that would be truly lore-breaking almost lol#ANYWAY.. rambling that only means anything to me because nobody else knows what I'm even referencing but hbjh#also I think my character designs are so funny in the sense that I really do just love to do the same thing over and over again ghbjh#wow... random asymmetry and belts and arm straps and high collars where the neck is completely covered?? you dont say..how novel

Sorry to say that I am once again coming to bug you about the Swatchlings specifically jgufhgjgk
The mental image of them parading you around is just sooooo cute to me and I must know more about your dynamic!! Whatever you’ve got on them!!
Also you should share about Watanuki and Doumeki, if that’s not too much!!
NO THANKYOU FOR BUGGING ME ABOUT THE SWATCHLINGS I FINALLY HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT THEM THEN JUST "Colors... pretty <3"
First of all I just found this term yesterday but it's perfect so; All the Swatchlings are Butler Caregivers.
They like to take care of a little like they're nobility. Bring them fancy desserts and finger clean foods and teas on silver platters. Button their shirts and tie their shoes just so. Follow them around exactly two paces behind, hands off unless absolutely necessary or directly asked for.
They like to use names like "Young Master/Mistress" or royal variations if requested, and play up the act of the cool collected butler who diligently watches over the house's perfect little bundle of joy.
They do tend to be. Pretty excitable though.
If their young master is looking particularly cute that day they can't help but squee over them. Cooing the sleepiest babies, or repeatedly pouring compliments over a little's hand chosen outfit that they put on all by themselves.
They're also all big Commit to the Bit types. Give them a role in playing pretend and they will play it as straight as Shakespeare, as serious as the most committed stage hand. This is their life now. Should they be the biggest bad in all the seven kingdoms or just a humble guest to a tea party, they are committed, and they are dramatic.
Their favorite activity is painting with their little, though will have a moment of panic if the baby, or surrounding area, gets too filthy. Their least favorite is Hide-and-Seek, just because they're all very quick to assume they've lost the child forever and will never find them again. Also if one of them looks in a hiding spot and sees a Maus then everything goes to chaos.
Each Swatchling is a little different of course, and I just tend to break them into the 6 colors to talk about so for specifics
Red is overly romantic, they love a story to read bedtime stories about princes who save princesses from dragons, or better to act at the princess being saved by their heroic knight. They're the best cook of the six but get depressed if they're missing baby time because they're in the kitchen making all the tiny food, so they tend to shove their responsibilities off on the other Swatchlings. They get lonely easy and tend to be just a bit clingy compared to the other 6, they need more hugs, kisses, and gifts than the others by quiet a bit.
Orange is a perfectionist who loves to pick out his little's perfect outfit, button their shirt, and tie their shoes just so every morning. He'll also brush and style their hair with little ribbons and bows if he's allowed. They're the first to go hands off when a little gets too messy for them, opting to go find a change of clothes for someone else to put them in to, that they'll then adjust as needed after they're all cleaned up. The most he'll do is gently wipe his little's face with a napkin while they're eating, but even that they may have to change gloves afterwards
Yellow is a lot more about the stuffie parties, especially ones he made. Serving over tea parties with all his little's stuffies, setting up movies and placing every guest so they can see the screen. He enjoys a good pillow fort with soft blankets and hot tea and quiet sleepy nights. What she hates is being the one who has to clean it up because she's the Caretaker so it's up to her to put everything back where it goes when blue eventually comes in and carries the baby back to their big plush bed. He just wants to go to bed but he's gotta take all these pillows back to their original rooms...
Green loves to be outside with a little. She wants to set up an easle and a canvas and watch her young master sit peacefully in the rose garden weaving flowers together to make wreaths and bracelets and crowns. She enjoys the babble of the brook and the rustle of leaves in the wind and the warmth of the sun. All idealized versions of the outside she adores. Heavy forbid though her little prefer to dig in the dirt, or stomp in puddles, or run and be loud and messy. She's more of a nice calm picnic in the sun outside type, not so much tag and red light green light red rover play outside type.
Blue's a music lover, they love to sing to their little or play the piano for them, write them little songs about how great they are or how fun it is to do basic chores like brush your teeth or eat breakfast. They're more of a bedtime caregiver, they love a sleepy little to listen to their lullabies, to rock gently and tuck comfortably into bed. They're the shortest of the six Swatchlings and just a little touchy about it, so little things like not being the first choice for carrying the little or struggling to place dangerous things out of a baby's reach would get to them. They're also the only Swatchling to place and uphold rules like Bedtime, Clean up, and Time Outs (if need be). They're the leader when Swatch isn't around.
Purple is the odd one out of the Swatchlings. She LOVES a chaotic baby, she loves a mess, splatter paint and mud and food fights. She loves bath time with an entire bottle of sudsy soap and lavender lotion. She loves toys all over the floor and snacks on every surface and open but not yet finished juice boxes. She comes across a lot more like an older sibling CG than a butler. She tends to get scolded a lot by Blue and is usually more on clean up than play supervision, however she's the only Swatchling willing to deal with a messy baby meaning she eventually has to be the one to step in and change her little's clothes, help them wipe up a spill, or get them ready for bathtime. She's the oldest of the six and the most mellow (but she still can't handle Maus)
#Emile's Writing#Deltarune Agere#CG Swatchling#Proship Agere#Thankyou for asking#This was supposed to be about my specific dynamic with them but it just turned general sorry kfjhkfkgfd#To be FAIR#This IS my dynamic with them it's just#Very removed from the actual Deltarune video game#Sorry. dskgfjdskjfk#I'll ramble about Watanuki and Domeki in another ask this post is too long#And has been drafted for FIVE HOURS#I had niece duties and then some food shopping to do fdkgjkfdjkg#I tried to make each Swatchling more about certaint art styles/types#So Red is Writing specifically Poetry#Orange is Photography#Yellow was at first Watercolors but now he's more Textiles/fabrics like sewing crochet knitting etc#Green was originally more broadly realism in general but now she's more still life/nature paintings#Blue is music#And purple is Childish. Splatter Paints and just scribbling on the paper and using the bucket tool between messy lines#So this is like. Those artstyles as CGs I guess#With additional silly Swatchling behavior like their excitement to see someone all dressed up and such#They are like cheerleaders <3

I can imagine how irritated are mario and Bowser (if he join them in the adventure during the events of bowser's inside story) goin to be during their fights
I have a few ideas on how to tackle Inside Story (that one I really want to replay before I write it), but if they were together oh it would be an absolute mess.
#asks#for those curious on how im writing this atm#i have the general plot points down though theres a few ive been trying to figure out if theres a better order for them to occur in#along with messing around with few different ways to handle certain parts and relationships#its a struggle of trying to ensure this stays light hearted and not get super angsty because i dont want that#and to help with writing im currently working through some of the games and taking plot notes character notes etc

For the ask meme: 18, 24, 39!! ^^
18. Do you play video games?
I do! I'm not a very gamer-y gamer, but if a game has a good story and characters I love, and/or is just lots of fun, it's easy for me to get invested. Some of my favorites over the years have been Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom (just... the sheer themes of "finding beauty in the midst of tragedy" and love in that game 😭), Stardew Valley (breaking: local girl who lives on farm sometimes forgets she should go outside and actually produce actual farm products for actual money), LEGO Lord of the Rings (childhood classic, still hilarious), and honestly way too many lemonade stand-type business games. Bonus points if the latter involve a creative aspect, like building a zoo or making pizzas.
24. What have you learned about yourself?
Something I've noticed about myself that's helped a lot is that even if I don't feel like doing something that's good for me, if I push myself to do it, I'll feel a lot better in the end. I used to mostly avoid social situations if I had the chance—but I noticed that when I did go, nine times out of ten I had fun, and I could tell I was learning how to hold enjoyable conversations and getting more comfortable with hanging out with people. Kind of basic adulting stuff, but it made a huge difference in my self-confidence, and it helped me to feel a lot better about myself in general!
39: Are there wise words you live by?
The first quote that came to mind is one of my favorite Bible verses! “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8, KJV) I've always loved things that have those traits, so it's encouraging to be reminded that it's good to focus on them.
The second is one of my all-time favorite stories, about the Boy and the Starfish. According to the Wikipedia rabbit hole I just fell down, it was originally a much longer piece called The Star Thrower—but the version I remember is one I read in a shortened/adapted form years ago. It tells of an old man who was walking along a beach where the tide had washed in thousands of starfish, which were now stranded for miles on the hot sand. He felt sorrowful that such a thing would happen to them, but knew he couldn't save all the starfish, so he kept walking. He came upon a boy who was frantically throwing starfish back into the water.
"There are so many; you can't possibly save them all," the man reasoned. "Or even enough to make a difference. What does throwing them back matter?"
The boy paused with a starfish in his hands. He looked at it, then smiled. "It matters to this one," he said, hurling the starfish back into the sea.
I loved the reminder that if something matters to even one person, it does make a difference, and it's worth it.
#ask game#heckmate#Sometimes I think 'is this really worth it?' about silly things like writing the stories I'd want to read; etc.#But then I think about it and decide that if it makes /me/ happy to see my stories#it'll likely make others who want to read similar stories happy as well-#and that makes it seem far more worthwhile and fulfilling to keep enjoying writing them.#asdjkl kind of talking myself through current life lessons here; sorry for the ramble#Thanks for the ask!! <3

💕I’m so excited!!! WAAHH could I get a 💎💎💎??? for whomever you please 💕
Agria's face lights up. "Oh, Lariel! You could walk Golarion for a thousand years and never find another person like her again. I love her dearly. Lariel is so honest, so willing to be open with others even when they haven't done anything to 'deserve it.' Some might call it naivete, but I never would. It's a choice to offer the world that sort of kindness, and it's an incredibly brave one.
Her expression dims--though only slightly--into something more thoughtful. "It's a little hard to explain. She reminds me of myself but in negative space. Like fire and water, if I were willing to be unforgivably trite. Each of us has what the other will need to get by without.
"There is so much about Lariel to admire. She makes me want to be more like her, more vulnerable, more sincere." Agria's smile grows chagrined as she continues, "And part of me hopes that I inspire her never to take any less than she deserves!"
#ask game#shades of how the older sister treats the younger sister like a barbie doll but the love is so pure#who can say if ive been changed for the better--i do believe i have been changed for the better--but bc i knew you etc etc#i love the odette/odile girls with all my heart#lariel#sorry these take me forever i am compelled to write a mini thesis for each of them

tbh video games are a weird exception for me where i can't stand other forms of media having reactionary politics, like i can't look past it to try enjoy it despite the politics, it just ruins the experience for me, but for video games idgaf lol as long as the gameplay is fun i'm good. i mean i did write like 10k words criticising the reactionary politics of life is strange but that's different cause lis is a telltale game and basically just an interactive movie like there's not much gameplay to compensate for the writing and the politics of the writers. normal games are mostly gameplay and you can kinda ignore the writing if you don't like it. not that gameplay is apolitical, obviously the way the gameplay is designed is political too, but ig it's easier for me to ignore it if i can be distracted by the fun-ness of the gameplay? idk. but generally i'll play games with whatever strategy is most successful for the objectives of the game, like if the goal of the game is to make the most profit possible i'll play as a capitalist, if the goal of the game is to conquer all the land i'll play as a coloniser, if the goal of the game is to overthrow the bourgeoisie i'll play as a communist lol. anyway my main source of income in my rimworld games is harvesting and selling prisoners' organs
#tbh i only wrote that lis essay bc i enjoyed the games enough to pay attention to them and care about the fact that the politics sucked#dont ask for a link to that essay it's on a deleted blog and missed out a lot of things i would include now if i were to write the same#essay. also it focused more on the like coexist trump is a cheeto type liberalism in the game when i think the bigger problem is honestly#the kinda manifest destiny portrayal of turtle island in the games + racist portrayals of indigenous turtle islander spirituality#<- dont take that as some serious crit to argue with i would need to replay the games if i wanted to criticise them properly#also the rimworld example is a joke i dont think thats an example of reactionary politics bc the whole like.#organ harvesting and human leather chairs aspect of the game is like just a morbid joke#the messaging isnt that organ harvesting from prisoners is good#for rimworld it's probably the base assumption of space colonisation taken for granted w/o ever considering the exploitation necessary for#that to be possible. & portraying the places where u settle ur colony as being uninhabited; a land without a people etc#they did add pollution to the game in the latest dlc but it's only for if you use the like mech robots to work/fight for you#not for space age stuff in general#still the funnest game ever tho honestly

about the fanfic assumption game: i think you have a very tastefully organised scrivener (or other preferred writing place). kind of placid arrangement that gets a third party to say, well you do run it like the navy! mostly bc you have a very structured approach and poise in planning&writing fic!!!
I do use scrivener! And I'm kind of? organized about it—it's descending into chaos recently though because my method is to have one file for a main-focus multichapter WIP, with my side projects as their own little documents in the "research" section of the file (so they don't count towards the global word count, but also I'm just opening one file whenever I write).
This....would work better if I finished my side projects more quickly. (Now I'm on my second multichap file and finishing side projects in there, but the old versions live in the Haunted One file, so I'm constantly going back, being like "what was that line I cut again???")
Very accurate read on my personality in general, though, my work life is exactly this!
#ask games#I do also have a very old scriv file where I tried to organize all the in-game notes about the relevant characters and my thoughts on them#into little “gortash” “orin” “sarevok” etc piles#to refer back to while I write#but that....was too much work I abandoned it

may I also bring this contribution as you wander down the enstars rabbit hole (it's enstars characters and their supposed crimes)
OP I appreciate you so much, but I fear that you are trying to kill me? Just -
Just a few questions.....
- Why are Switch and the seniors of Ryuseitai and Wataru??? on kidnapping?? (wait, did he kidnap Hokuto is that it?) - Wait, what did Tetora and Sora DO? - Midori's in attempted murder?????? WHY??? - What's with forgery?? Why's that on there? Why am I questioning forgery when sexual harassment and murder are RIGHT there??? - Yeah, I still can't believe there's a literal idol duo who is also a mob group.... - "tried to break the windows with an iron pipe" what - of course Hokuto has the ultra specific one (I love him so much. Rich airhead princess to me, so far anyway). - Bullying for Subaru NO what have you DONE starshine boy??? - and at this point I've given up on getting mentally tortured by the others
I am eternally grateful for this list. Why did it have to exist? OP, come back here and let's just talk - actually. No, I desperately want to sit down with the writers and ask what they've experienced to do this.
#look i know the idol industry is not sunshine and starlight#but whats with it becoming a literal conglomerate and yazuka series?#the more i learn about this game the more im convinced that the writers really just spun a crazy roulette of any genres tropes#you have urban fantasy portal fantasy rpglit steampunk victorians nonsense literature historical fiction drama poetry etc etc#also detective fiction and war fiction and thats just the roulette of genres#stars i want to write like them#you guys in the fandom arent okay are you....you guys are all so nice giving me all this#but to let this get to my head youre also doing this to torture me specifically arent you?#my mind is already lost i dont know how i can lose it further#enstars#ensemble stars#fandom spamdom#things i find funny#stuff i say#this reminds me of my bsd starting days#i was so in denial that i was into bsd because it was so insane and unreal#and somehow a slice-of-life idol media is equally as unhinged and deranged i hate and love it here#(but in all honesty thank you for the ask op! it's SO fun to see people engage with each other in this fandom)#coincidentally i am pretty sure ive also blocked the most tags in this fandom because youre all insane (affectionate...i think?)

👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about? for the ask game pls!
i have a problem where i will just talk about anything so i dont think i have a single wip i've never talked about. most of them have a snippet posted somewhere on my blog. my first serious f1 fic was my og otp in my heart, 4433, and i've posted about it once before here. as i contemplate the sargewood chaptered fic i've been thinking about starting soon, i've been thinking about my first failed attempted at a chaptered fic a lot. i have thought abt sharing more of it but it does feel silly to post full ass chapters that go no where. i supposed i never posted any of it because this was exactly what i was afraid of, leaving it abandoned online.
#funnily enough the model!logan au is a bit reminiscent of it!!! the spirit lives on#i know this is kind of cheating bc i HAVE talked about this before#and you can see a summary/read a snippet in the link!!! sorry for slacking lol#she writes#moving forward i need to not be afraid of starting chaptered fics & leaving them unfinished#bc the alternative is them dying on my hard drive!!! but i also do want to be more proactive in planning and outlining etc etc#ask#ask game#winnerkirkwood

Recent ones of these even though they all look the same lol.. forcing myself to document progress..
#I can average like 2500 words a day for a while and then something gets in the way and I don't write for a week or something#which then sort of erases my previous Doing Good At Keeping Up With It lol.. but... alas#Still moving slowly forward...#There's a 'community board' place in game where you can go to look at a few things and some of whats there is little 'odd jobs' the player#can do for a little extra coin (since you can buy items in the game/might need coin).#Thhough of course since it's just interactive fiction/visual novel it's not like... actual minigames or something. Just like..#mini stories of your character going places and doing stuff and having some interactions with the other places in the world#Like for example since modern refrigerators don't exist in this world one of the odd jobs you can do is help with doing ice deliveries#or there's one odd job where you assist a guy recharging the city's main bell tower/time keeping place by helping him go around and replace#the iriminel crystals (kind of like magical batteries - stones that are able to store energy that way and be used to fuel passive#enchantments). or one where you help food prep for the cooks at a nearby automat. etc. etc.#Just little short things to get a better glimpse of how the wider city is outside of just interacting with the main characters. plus earn#a tiny bit of coin. Though because they're so short there's not really branching paths or anything much for choices beyond#usually an optional dialogye menu where you can talk to the person you're working with and ask them personal#or work related questions if inclined to do so. It'd be cool if they were more in depth but.......erugh...#I have so much writing left to do already lol.. Also since it's really just to get money I could have just had them#all be like a single sentence of 'you go here and you do this all day then you come home. + 15 coins. yaay' and thats all#So maybe it's a middle ground to elaborate upon them at all. Just enough extra details to maybe be a little interesting#like ''ooh my character is in a little cart riding through the misty morning forest on their way to deliver ice'' . but also not so much#that it takes away time from like... the literal actual main game lol#ANYWAY. That's what all these are. There are like 10 optional little world exploring/job things you can do. and each I guess seem to be#about 2.500 words ish. That's including the optional chatting menus though. but still. reasonable for a little side thing I guess.#I got finished with one character's quests and stuff so I decided to take a break to work on some of the other little things like the Odd#Jobs and the 8 characters you can find around the world to have short conversations with that aren't actual main characters either. etc.#Then I shall return back to the Main Actual Things. ... augh...... still so much to do...#Which I could also just cut everything extra out but... idk.. since it's mostly all text I feel the need to give more options to flesh out#the actual setting somehow. Since in a 3D game you can walk around and explore the world and stuff. And of course there#are pictures. but it would take me infinitely longer to do detailed art of so much of the entire city youre in or etc. So i guess my versio#of still having some amount of ''exploration'' is just.. set up optional paths where more of the world can at least be Described.#You can't actually walk through a 3d orchard. or an elaborate bell tower. or an elven shrine. But you can Read About being in them LOL

Ash I love your WIP Wednesday game tag the only issue is that all of my documents are Untitled Document. I just search in the Google docs search bar to find which one I need at any given time
Cas I think you need to name your documents :/
#or you could do it as like. untitled document 1 untitled document 2 etc#and just like. have them open in separate tabs so you remember which ones are numbered as which?#assuming u use google docs idk what you use#transprincecaspian#asks#this has been a post#also ur rly gonna send me an ask about the game but NOT send me a document title for me to write in#smh
