:3 for the fic writer asks. I may or may not be building off of your previous answers that I just read.

2. a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

13. a fandom you’re thinking about writing for

17. talk about your writing and editing process

And you would be right to because...

2. My Tav

LOL, I've literally just taken a pause from researching lutes to answer this. The part that I've spent the most time on so far was finding the right voice and tunes for their barding. I haven't even gotten to thinking about dialogue yet. But I have an idea around that which I'm fleshing out with inspiration from the Dorothea and Yuri support in FE3H and Red from Transistor. In short: a bard reluctant to sing? Tragic backstory, incoming!

13. Baldur's Gate 3. You so see me, friend.

I probably won't publish anything until I've completed my first playthrough though. And at the pace I'm going... I would be lucky if I finish Act 3 before the end of the summer. I haven't even entered the city yet :p

17. It's either painstakingly slow or a burst of manic inspiration, there is no middle ground. The slow route is all over: in notebook(s), Google notes, Microsoft OneNote, Scrivener projects. Vibes are embodied in Spotify playlists. I will either sit on something, editing and re-editing, agonizing about its worthiness to publish for weeks and months at a time, or I immediately reach a state of fuck-it-we-ball and publish first, edit and panic re-edit multiple times for the next 72 hours after. This, of course, all has to fit around a work and family schedule and it is a constant struggle to not breakdown the fragile sleep balance I require to stay physically and mentally sane.

So I guess what I'm saying is... it's chaotic and sporadic and purely driven by a stubborn determination to connect dots and empty the brain just enough on most nights to sleep well.

Send me more fic writer asks.

>:3 Alright Frank, my turn. Please share your bg3 brain worms (tadpoles). Favorite character(s)? Preferred companions? Do you have a consistent party? If not, how do you choose your members at any given time? I am very curious if it’s the latter because as I mentioned, I don’t really ever switch it up.

you said in the tags of your answer to write as many paragraphs as my feelings can fill… and well… it’s a lot haha :)

i love all the characters so much! they're all so unique, interesting, and charming in their own way. i'm only in act 2 myself (about to finish it though i think) so i haven't gotten to see everyone's full stories yet. narrowing down a favorite is so hard! i change up my party every once in a while, but consistently i still always bring wyll or shadowheart so I guess they would be my favorites!

i love wyll so much, im always a sucker for characters who are able to stay postive and optimistic even through the worst of times. I also love characters (especially in fantasy) who are primed to be the main character either from their backstories or narratively (alistair in dragon age and aragorn in lord of the rings are other examples); wyll, who is a monster hunter but is first and foremost a protector of the people, (there are other details about him that I wont spoil for you that also lend to this) has all the makings of a classic fantasy protagonist, but he never expresses the desire to be the leader (i guess, unless the player plays as him haha) or to get any recognition for helping cure the tadpoles. other possibly-spoilery tid-bits about him that break away from or invert fantasy character archtypes help to really round out his character in an interesting way.

I loved shadowheart pretty much instantly (shadowheart and lae’zel being the first two companions you meet is everything, i love them both and their dynamic so much) shadowheart is a bit of a mystery, even to herself, which is fascinating to me. I find her whole story, so far, really interesting, and I’m excited to see where it goes and what else is learned about her through the rest of the game. i love characters who are so dedicated to one goal to the point that it’s all that matters to them and it’s all they are, but then the story challenges their dedication or pulls them from it for a larger cause.

i switch up my party every once in a while, but its usually just to swap out characters for quests that are relevant to them or that i think will prompt dialogue or approval from them. i think my game is a bit bugged, because i didn't even realize there was party banter until very late into act 1 (also just might be  because i fast travel a lot) so i've been switching out characters more to see what conversations they can have.

my go-to parties in act 1 were wyll, shadowheart, and lae’zel or wyll, karlach, and lae’zel (this was mostly because of combat game play, karlach and lae’zel with their extra attack or shadowheart as an extra healer was so helpful when I was still trying to learn the combat system).

in act 2 my go to party is wyll, shadowheart, and karlach, or wyll, shadowheart, and halsin depending on if im just exploring/doing side-quests or if i know I’ll run into heavy combat. karlach regularly one-shots enemies with 30+ hp and having her extra attack is the only way i get through combat most of the time (even on the easiest difficulty, combat continues to kick my ass).

when I reach act 3, I plan on mixing up my party more, depending on what’s in store for act 3 (I have surprisingly not been spoiled on anything that happens in act 3).

combat is the main reason why i don’t switch up my parties more since i get used to having certain spells or abilities. on my second play through (which I’ve already started planning even though im not close to being done with my first lol) i plan on trying to mix up my groups more to get more banter and to spend time with other characters I haven’t had much chance to. I rarely take gale or astarion with me (unless there is a relevant quest) but only because of combat, i feel like other characters have more useful abilities then they do. which is a shame because i like them both a lot, and want to get to know them better. my tav is a cleric, so that also factors in to party make-up. gale’s party banter is always bugged for me as well which is a bummer, the captions will pop-up but his voice lines never play.

one thing i like so much about the characters is that they all have interesting interpersonal dynamics. it really only comes up in banter and the occasional camp conversation but its enough to make it feel like they're all actually interacting in camp. whether or not they fully get along, they still all seem to care about each other which i love! its the friend group you'd never expect (most of who would probably not get along or get the chance to interact if the circumstances were different) but they all end up being close in some way or another. shadowheart and lae'zel's dynamic is especially a favorite of mine, i always love characters who don't get along on the surface but are actually "no one's allowed to be mean to them except for me". shadowheart and astarion are a bit like this too, with each other, and astarion with the rest of the companions as well. another one of my favorite party dynamics is wyll, shadowheart, and astarion; three people I wouldn’t have expected to really get along but the first time i had them all in my party I triggered like three conversations in a row where they were flirting with each other (my favorite of their banters is astarion saying he’d drink from wyll if he could chose anyone in camp after shadowheart asks him and then her sounding disappointed that he didn’t pick her. in my play through shadowheart then asked astarion if he was single less than a minute later lol).

my favorite character dynamics are:

wyll and karlach

wyll, astarion, and shadowheart

shadowheart and lae’zel

I would ask them all but will restrain myself to 3, 4, 13 and 21 to maintain a guise of normal-ish interest.

Restraining myself from professing my undying love to you, but just know that my eyes became cartoon hearts and popped out of my skull when I saw this ask from you. I’m being normal-ish about it.

3. Specific color that gives you the ick?

The “basic” versions of red and blue make my skin crawl. #FF0000 and #0000FF. They’re horrible and painful to look at. And I especially hate them paired together. The American flag has more washed out versions of them, but I still hate it with a passion.

4. Mythical creature you think/believe is real?

Do aliens count? I’m no fun and don’t really believe in mythological creatures, but I am convinced that it would be wild for us to be the only life that sprung up in the universe. I just don’t think we’ll ever meet them.

13. First thing you’re doing in the purge?

Murdering as many important republican politicians as I can get my hands on. I imagine there would be a good network of folks in on this.

21. A number that weirds you out?

49 - I know people like it and I understand why but I… don’t.

fic: KimChay - early morning sunlight

IT'S MY BIRITHDAY and I wanted to post a fic on my birthday. So please accept this that I've been working on for the last few hours. I did not run any of this through @une-pomm3 or @givemaycoffee like I normally do. Getting rebellious on my birthday apparently. But now it's time to sleep because I'm so tired.

Fandom: KinnPorsche: The Series (TV)

Title: early morning sunlight

Rating: Gen. It's so soft okay.

Relationship: Porchay Pichaya Kittisawat/Kim Khimhant Theerapanyakun

Characters: Kim Khimhant Theerapanyakun and Porchay Pichaya Kittisawat

Additional Tags: soft boyfriends, Happy Ending, Post canon, after the inevitable reconciliation, birthday mornings, i just wanted some soft boys in love celebrating a birthday, because it's my birthday

Summary: Chay woke up slowly. The curtains were pushed open slightly, just enough for a peak of early morning sunlight to shine through and keep their bedroom warm and comforting, but light enough that it woke Chay from sleep.

I finally got a good queue going here and now I’m up and shifting to @givemaycoffee 🤦🏻‍♀️

So anyway - general reblogging is moving over there. But I don’t have it in me to figure out moving my queue, so stuff will continue to post here for a couple months, probably.

Valere :DDD

I thought about posting something from chapter W (for whenever I get around to the post-timeskip part). But decided instead on a snippet that's pretty much destined for whenever I make the next update:

As far as Seteth could tell, Dimitri did not noticeably seek her out. But whether by intent or divine intervention, he runs into her in the shop one weekend while buying flowers. They looked at each other with equally startled expressions. “Are you, by chance, heading to the cemetery now?” Byleth stared. Long enough for a blush to creep up from Dimitri’s tightly-buttoned collar to his cheeks. He placed a hand to his chest and bowed. “I apologize. That was rude and untoward of me to presume…” “I am,” cut in Byleth. “It's okay.” A look of relief washed over the prince’s face. Emboldened by the brightness of her eyes and hint of a smile on the edge of her lips, he straightened. “May I… that is, assuming you do not find it objectionable… walk with you there?” His face colored a deeper shade of red, but this time he did not look away. His head tilted softly as he offered a sheepish smile. “It gladdens me to know I shall have the company of one living soul amongst all the ghosts.” This time, it’s Byleth’s turn to blush and look away. “I’ll just get these wrapped.” Dimitri gave another bow. “I shall wait.” Flustered, Byleth retreated to the cash register and wordlessly handed the selected flowers to Seteth. His gaze narrowed at the young man lingering at the door as he wrapped her purchase. “He is a strange one,” he murmured, for her ears only. Byleth handed her card over to complete the purchase. “Just sad.” She gave him a knowing look. “Everyone has secrets they hold close to their heart.” Seteth tried not to visibly swallow. So. He’d underestimated her perceptiveness.

5, 15, 26 for the weird questions ask :D

5. favorite form of potato?

im torn between tater tots and baked potatoes!

15. rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning

drowning, burning, freezing; i feel like drowning is the best option out of these, burning is quick at least, freezing seems like it would be painful and take a long time

26. how’s your spice tolerance?

i have a pretty high spice tolerance and i love spicy foods!

[givemaycoffee]

Okay, I just updated my pillowfort username. Same as here now, @givemaycoffee

Will I actually use it? Remains to be seen. I don’t use desktop a lot. But lemme know if you start using it, because maybe having mutuals/people to follow will help motivate me to actually try it out.
