I don’t know but I feel that if Mobius’ kids get to see Loki in his actual, God of Mischief attire they would DEFINITELY come up with all kinds of shenanigans to get them together. AS A COUPLE.

You need to live your own truth to hold yourself up when the world points at you. You know, that time who you are, what you've been through, why you chose what you chose. Don't defend but know your truth.

This might be a bit of an intrusive question, so zero pressure to answer, but what’s your favourite tropes and why? (Feel free to reply to only the first part, I recognise the second is somewhat often private and personal) (P.S it’s FragileWriter - functioning technology is brilliant!! I can go on apps again! Whoo!)

In the name of fairness, one of my all time favourite tropes is the comfort element of character A fiercely protecting and defending B in their abscence; bonus points if they scheme and plot to bring B’s enemy down - but the icing on the cake is if B walks in and is left stunned at being sided with. Undying loyalty all the way, but also I just love the comrade of people being so loyal to one another that they’ll defend each other no matter what.

It’s kind of healing to write tbh 😅

Characters bonding around a warm, cosy fire via trauma stories and deep personal conversations complete with humorous exchanges is another favourite. Again, I love the unity aspect and I’m not one for small talk so I love getting into the nitty gritty.

Plus, there’s something almost symbolic about characters being in a secluded or isolated place, left to fend for themselves in the elements and forced to be in the dark, but surrounded by the light and warmth of friends or begrudging company. I like when characters are forced to be vulnerable with themselves and one another, or rather, when they choose to be.

And on that note, I shall end with long ramble with; I hope you’re having a brilliant day/night 💗

 AH IM SO EXCITED TO ANSWER THIS ASK!!!!

so in response to my fav trope (i have several but ill just pick a few). i LOVE genre clashes!! i love throwing a tragedy-built character into a romance, or a childrens-comedy-built character into a murder mystery thriller!!! i think exploring how two opposing things mesh and fill in each others cracks can be so fun!!!! (like when the childrens comedy character escapes murder by the culprit bc their looney toons physics defies mortality)

i ALSO love whump where one character just has the everloving SHIT beat out of them!! i find it so satisfying to write and read for some reason <3 soooo good every time. satisfies my little lizard brain hehehehehe

another is when character a is just so down bad and stupid abt it for character b, and even better when its mutual. idiots in love <33333333

weird one for the last one: i love when character a has been kidnapped, all their loved ones plan a rescue op, and then character a manages to unkidnap themselves-- ITS SO FUNNY EVERY TIME!!!! (best example i can think of is suicide squad remake where harley quinn rescues herself and encounters the rest of the squad mid-rescue, but ive written several of my own before that too)

I LOVE UR FAV TROPES AS WELL!!!! those r all so sweet!!!! i love characters scheming together heheheeh <33333 undying loyalty i am SUCH a sucker for ughhh <3333333 and the sharing of trauma is fun as well hehehe

And this baby is done 😌☁️💕

Okay so the whole tomgreg was super alluring in Succession and impossible to oversee on the first watch.

Now just by listening to “Dawn” from P&P I wonder about Greg, being utterly obsessed with Mr. Darcy for years, terribly yearning for a man like him, a meeting of sorts in life where he’d be blinded by his existence and absolutely wrecked by the touch of their hands.

And then he spends his days getting high, watching and rewatching his favorite movie, daydreaming about his crush and also jerking off furiously to some screenshots he took with his phone.

This goes on an on for years. His teen years are spent nurturing a non healthy obsession until one day he’s grown up, at odds in his life and forced to look for some help with his mom’s family name. He’s never cared about being a Roy or whatever but once he takes a glance to Shiv’s fiancé, he knows it.

He’s fucked.

[fragilelovelythings]

Nobody, ever:

loki: *rambles nervously about how he got to Don’s house, actual god of lies not being able to lie*

mobius: okay fine it works for me I am at your knees I desire you intimately and carnally

I do think it’s pretty funny after Don kicking the ball into the goal and whispering “small victories”. Baby like are you even real? Manifesting shit by the secooooonddddd

[fragilelovelythings]

I believe after so many years into the Hannibal fandom all the food references and fanfics got under my skin. Like half of the chapter 4 of my Succession fic is full with food stuff. Can’t believe the Hannigram vibes are reaching to me and forcing me to channel it in my Eunuch Besties series.

Whatever, I regret nothing.

Not quite prejudice, not quite pride

Summary: Greg has been utterly obsessed with Mr. Darcy for years, terribly yearning for a man like him, yearning for a meeting of sorts in life where he’d be blinded by his existence and absolutely wrecked by the touch of their hands.

So he spends his days getting high, watching and rewatching his favorite movie, daydreaming about his crush, and also jerking off furiously to the man's frozen image on the TV screen.

This goes on and on for years. His teen years are spent nurturing a nonhealthy obsession until one day he’s grown up, at odds in his life, and forced to look for some help with his mom’s family name. He’s never cared about being a Roy or whatever but once he takes a glance at Shiv’s fiancé, he knows it.

He’s fucked.

A writer's ramble

I might be going crazy. I'm currently between 5 open tabs with my WIPs and I HONESTLY WONDER HOW DID I GET HERE?

A friend suggested I continue on some other of my fics as 'Eunuch Besties' is my multi-chapter and sometimes makes me feel art-blocked. And I followed her advice today, happily sitting at my desk with my iced latte and digging into my half paragraph of 'Not quite prejudice, not quite pride' to now have three pages in front of me. As far as I've thought, this fic will also be a multi-chapter, as I want to get into Greg's mind (Yeah, I'm not dropping my dear Succession EVER) for a different take on the canon. Here, I basically play with the idea of Greg being obsessed with Mr. Darcy from P&P to then place him right there in Succession S1E01 where he meets the 'real life' version of him. But it's just not him, and nobody but Greg can see the resemblance. I love the idea of Greg ridiculously in love with Mr. Darcy, who has Tom's face but it's not AT ALL the same person. Hehehe, I feel this will give me headaches as well as fun times.

But as the rebel that I am, I also opened my other wips: the Loki one which I don't really know where it's going beyond answering this question: 'What if Loki had accepted that beer?' from Don on season 2. Here I wonder a lot about what would have happened and also, I want to put Loki between Don's kids and see what happens. I still have no idea if this will be a one-shot o a multi-chapter fic. Again, it's just a WIP.

And while checking on those two, another really fucked up idea came to me: what if Roman had sucked Greg off when they were younger? Would he remember that? Would he do it again now that Greg is into the family business? Would he deny it? Would Greg want it to happen again? Who knows. Wait. Me. Hehe. So I began typing on this, clearly absorbed by the unanswered questions I gave myself.

Finally, checking those tabs I found my untitled True Detective WIP where I want to give a twist on that scene between Rust and Marty in their lockers, hands-on with each other ready to beat themselves up but not quite doing it.

And now, taking a break from them all, I vent here as I am allowed to do while crossing fingers I get to work more on any of those ideas above.

[fragilelovelythings]

A writer's ramble (2)

I'm so happy. Like, I decided to do better, to create better, to paint better, and to write better. Maybe is this hope we all can carry when entering a new year, embracing all the promises we can make to ourselves and jumping forward to make our dreams come true.

Reflecting on what I want for myself, once again: a new beginning, I made peace with these facts:

It's not about perfection but discipline.

To be constant, to go back to the draft, to write more, to just do it.

To have fun, A LOT of fun while doing it forgetting that it's just for myself and any other random person who stumbles upon and likes it (or doesn't, both are equally alright and also the same).

To begin the day by writing as soon as I wake up, to deep dive into anything that I can conjure.

To understand that ideas flow and sometimes they just manifest through my own daily life: I thought about doing my laundry and this evolved to what if x character also has to do his laundry, what kind of thoughts would he have while doing it?

To aim high but also little: you can be inspired by your favorite's authors routines but, can I push, or wait, should I push myself to write 6 pages non-stop every morning? Or have a night routine where I write until 2-3 am in the morning? What if I play with my writing, testing myself, and understand/accept I have to create at my own rhythm?

If I can't write daily, at least I'll do it twice a week, alternating the creative process with other creative/artistic pursuits. So, when I'm not writing maybe I'm going to be oil painting. Or drawing. Or when I'm not painting or sketching, I'm going to be writing. Finding my balance it's key. Finding your balance it's key. And! some days I'd also be doing nothing and that is also okay.

To focus again on how enjoyable it can be to create a story, to narrate in my own style, to write better, to create more without emulating others, to find my own voice and feel comfortable with it. The same goes for painting.

To really accept that skills are part gifts and part hard work. To see them as tools, heavenly tools to express and heal. To see writing in any kind as also a therapeutic outlet: as the characters face adversity and happiness, I also do too.

To be patient with myself and never forget that I am writing in a language that's not my native tongue, and the task is even more challenging than it'd be writing in Spanish. And it's okay.

As I am posting my work on AO3, to learning to let go of the rush of receiving comments and kudos. Yes, they're wonderful devices to motivate us, writers, but also are another kind of drug, the high that scrolling can give you is equal to the pain you can get when wondering what you're doing wrong for not receiving more comments, kudos, and hits. Just let them go.

[fragilelovelythings]

Ok so, what if Don falls in love with Loki but of course, can’t stay together and after a torrid, passionate romance they go separate ways. He never sees Loki again, ever, for the rest of his life.

And because of deep yearning he gets a tattoo of a snake, on his left forearm, a tattoo that curls from his elbow to his wrist.

He carries the memory of Loki in.
