Down the lane......

Trent was so happy for Ben 🥹

last thing i’ll say; people aren’t owed free content but creatives aren’t owed financial compensation either

I find it really funny that Dazai has, if my memory serves me right, has swore only two times in the whole manga (he seldom swears even at his enemies, he an annoyingly polite boy) and both times coz of Fyodor... like this man made Dazai-annoy-everyone-around-me-to-death-Osamu go WTF at his antics

I bet if Fyodor drops his mask of the perfectly-in-control mastermind and let loose, he's gonna be weirder than Dazai + Gogol combined. Sigma hasn't seen the worst of this gang yet...

writers who are like "we have to subvert all expectations or else the story is too predictable and not marketable or whatever" are extra silly to me because like. have you SEEN how excited fandoms get when a popular fan theory is confirmed canon?

i'm currently thinking about the adventure zone fandom with the "taako has a twin" theory. i wasn't super active in the fandom at the time (iirc i started listening around suffering game or maybe 11th hour and had just recently caught up) but i remember when it was just a popular fan theory alongside "angus is a dragon" type theories. and just how excited everyone got when not only was the theory confirmed, but she got officially introduced and was an amazing character from the get-go

this has happened with other fandoms i've been in, too. like steven universe with the "garnet is a fusion" and "rose quartz is pink diamond" theories, or the owl house with the "emperor belos is phillip wittebane" and "hunter is a grimwalker" theories

fans love when their hard work analyzing stuff pays off

Did the best/most dorkiest thing ever and dragged my friend an hour and a half out of our way to go to Richmond and see Ted lasso locations!

It’s a 20+ hour flight to london from Australia guys I wasn’t gonna miss my chance

[luminarai]

took a swan dive into the kent parson tag and rediscovered @bittysthesis ‘parse doing a house tour like matthew gray gubler’ posts and it’s exactly the type of low key but deeply chaotic energy I like to imagine him having

[whatthefuckisasweep]

do you guys remember when dexter grif and sarge from the popular web series red vs blue literally introduced a new fornite map with Ninja. and we all collectively took psychic damage.

Valentine's sketches #3: Clizzy from the show shadowhunters!

5 sentence drabble ask: Henry/Emma, #11 (for old time's sake...)

If memory was a linen-press (thought Emma Green, scrubbing viciously at her hands, the soap going pink-red from dried blood) it was a badly-made one: the mice and moths got in, inevitably, eating holes in what she’d laid aside. She had nearly forgotten the sound of her father’s voice, or her mother’s, in the time since they had fled to Richmond – she had no idea, rightly, when she had met Henry Hopkins, only that it must have been within a day or two of returning to Mansion House – important things, gone just as surely as the names of last week’s dead. But there the metaphor came apart. There was no sense of care or prizing in what went into that cabinet – Tom Fairfax’s brains leaking out into the dust of the street jostling with kind words and lukewarm tisanes in Mary Foster’s hands with a handful of wildflowers, that Henry had brought in from the countryside, half wilted from the heat of the road. Henry had kissed her then, and, for a moment, the flowers went unremembered.

Send me a number and two (or more!) characters, and get a five sentence drabble!

[quick thought abt Reyna, Mella, and the Rebellious Kids (i luv them sm, im sorry-) before i go study-study for stupid assignment]

Hmm, they would probably play 'games' (like cards or with machines/weapons) to get Reyna (platonically speaking for Mella since they have a 'sister bond')

And once Mella gets Reyna back, Reyna would probs sneakily go back to them since- ya'know their her 'Caramel Cursed luvs' lol

[long though im sorry- take you're time on this one lil' moot, maybe get a small break, i can wait :)]

(We'll call this one... "Chaotic Disobedience")

20 questions for fic authors!

I was tagged by the lovely @ugetelynx and @wisecrackingeric-2 <3 so sorry it took me so long to do this hfsgjhdj

1. How many works do you have? - currently posted on ao3 I have 57 works total. However I have almost twice as many wips it's bad

2. Ao3 word count? - 395,068 ..... I've got a wip that's almost over 100k but it's also been there for years so I doubt that'll change anytime soon

3. What fandoms do you write for? - of the fics I have on ao3, I have written for detroit become human, star wars, resident evil, assassin's creed, and the last kingdom. The fandoms I've written for that are not on my ao3 include lotr/the hobbit, bbc sherlock, bbc merlin, marvel, voltron legendary defender, percy jackson universe, and whatever the Carry On by rainbow rowell fandom is called. Most of those I will never ever write for again lmao

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? - In order:

Sapphire Moonlight (Tequila Sunrise) (Serennedy)

We Look So Good (Reed900)

Hold Fast, the Suns Will Rise (Stay) (Dincobb) (also, my first fic ever posted, and still the fic I hold most dearly in my heart to this day)

We Are Home (Hank and Connor family content)

Tomato Soup (Serennedy)

5. Do you respond to comments? - every single one. I'm obsessed with comments. I have them all saved and stored so I can reread them at any time. Thank you everyone who has ever commented I love you

6. What fic did you write the angstiest ending for? - I only write angst with a happy ending. But I did write You Should Have Killed Me for a friend's dbh x hunger games simulator result and it had an angsty ending by result of being a hunger games simulator.

7. What fic did you write the happiest ending for? - I write many fics w happy endings, but I personally think my fic series Din and Grogu | the Clan of Two Trilogy has the happiest ending because it happened against all odds. It's a fic about Din and Grogu's found family (before BoBF and Mando s3 came out, so it's not canon accurate) and it ends meaningfully to me.

8. Do you get hate on fics? - I have before, but it was all bullshit that showed me the person commenting didn't actually read what I wrote but chose to get mad at something that didn't exist. So it was discarded easily. Otherwise, I've had people try to tell me how to write things, but I ignore them all

9. Do you write smut? - yes. badly.

10. Crossovers? - I wrote a dincobb fic that was set in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, with Din as Kassandra and Cobb as Anais. I also started a serennedy fic set in the detroit: become human universe but never got anywhere close to finishing it.

11. Ever had a fic stolen? - not that I know of lol.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? - I had someone ask to translate one of my fics, and I said yes, but I don't think they've done so yet, which is fine. Other than that, no. But I'd be honoured!

13. Ever co-wrote a fic before? - I started a dincobb fic with a friend years ago but we never got around to finishing it. Someday I still hope to.

14. What's your all time favourite ship? - that's genuinely impossible to pick tbh I've had so many that rewired my brain. top three are probably bagginshield, simarkus, and shadowzel, not in any particular order.

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? - ehhhhh probably the klance fic I started when I was like 15. I don't go to voltron anymore and literally couldn't care less about it. In fact I actively hate it.

16. What are your writing strengths? - I've been told that I'm good at characterisation and plot. I think I suck at plot severely. As for characterisation, I study characters really hard and take a long time to write fics so they remain in character so I'm glad people appreciate that. I also prefer writing dialogue to anything else.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? - Writing. haha I mean exposition.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? I have before, I find it fun but also intimidating.

19. First fandom you wrote for? - The Hobbit :') my first ever fic was a bagginshield fic I started when I was 13. I still mean to finish it someday.

20. Favourite fic you've written? - *sighs* I guess I should say Another Time. It was the most fun to write, and everyone's responses have made all the difficulties of writing it endlessly worth it. It took me months but I'm so happy I finished it, and I'm working on p3 rn I PROMISE. But again the fic I hold most dearly in my heart is still Hold Fast, the Suns Will Rise (Stay)

My Adventures with Superman Spoilers for ep5 . . . ngl i dont understand why people are *so* upset at Lois for the way she confronted Clark. Like, we all saw how her character is meant to do this, in the very first episode. They make up after, pretty quickly. It was obvious that she values her perspective first, and thinks of others after. I understand that you may not like the trope, but there's no reason to like, hate Lois over it.
