#god can you imagine this in a 8 or 16 bit game

[wandringaesthetic]

Here, look at this one too

having a LOT of fun recreating my warden and hawke using the ttrpg system

[theminecraftbee]

i have one more silly bit of - well, okay. this is only sort of joe propaganda. this is a little bit me propaganda too. but for those new to the joe train, new followers who came here from other corners of joe fandom, or, indeed, people who want to read some fic as propaganda in order to sink into the true fandom experience:

hi! i write fic! i have written SEVERAL joe fic! here are some you can look at!

to convey a certain brilliance takes place in an alternate season eight where no one escapes before the moon hits, and joe must claw his way back to rebuilding enough to survive. inspired a bit by super hostile and actually written pre-season 8 finale, back when i thought they wouldn't actually PULL something like this. ah. more naive, good times.

god from the machine is a ficlet i wrote while joe was doing legends arceus stuff, taking place after the game and taking 'that's where joe was between seasons' as canon. god, sidenote? go watch joe's legend arceus streams. those were SUCH good streams. this has nothing to do with the fic just go watch those.

new moon is my inevitable moon's big feelings ficlet i wrote for joe and cleo. that's probably all you need to know.

beetroots is a character study ficlet people like where i have joe and grian have a conversation about the kinds of people they are. i still very much like it.

an empty head is a horror ficlet about what could have been happening while joe lived in cogsmede, given empires!false's memory potions. mind the fact there's a bit of intentionally talked-around, left-to-the-imagination gore in this one.

attempt thirty-three is my most recent proper fic, and it takes place during a slightly alternate 'pre-crossover' timeline where joe becomes trapped in a time loop. it's about a single loop during that time loop, and what joe does within it. i'm still quite proud of this premise and fic, it was an idea i'm glad i did fairly decent justice!

the last days of the free angel of carrows, finally, is a 79k 16-chapter noir-inspired urban fantasy in which joe and cleo together run a supernatural fixer/odd-job agency. when they're approached by pearl moon, a suspicious but extremely wealthy stranger, they take a job that the fate of the city ends up resting upon. if you like angel!joe, urban fantasy, action scenes, jleo friendship, or my usual standard for dumb jokes, this is an excellent longfic to read!

of course, you don't have to read any of these! there are a number of OTHER really good joe writers on ao3, and i encourage them to promo on this themselves! i'm just in a very joe mood and thought some people might also be, and decided to share!

Can I get a long haired embry imagine 🥵

Aight so irl kiowa gordon was like 19 during this, but in the movies, he's like 16. SO IN THIS STORY HOMIE LOOKS LIKE THIS GIF AND HE IS 20 AND WE ARE PASSED BREAKING DAWN PART 2.

You're eating your popcorn, focused on the movie playing on your TV in front of you. It's raining outside pretty badly. You're not used to it constantly raining. Since moving to Washington, there's been a lot of getting used to. Luckily, you've met a few friends already. Even someone you really like!

A knock on your door startles you. You slowly get up and look out the peephole. There's Embry Call. You sigh of relief that it's just him and open the door. He's soaked! "Embry! What are you doing?" You grab his arm and pull him inside. He chuckles at you and stands in your entryway, watching you shut the door. "Well?" You ask and cross your arms. He shrugs and smiles. "I was just at work and then leaving, I decided to come see you." He says. You shake your head and step up to him. "Embry, you're probably freezing. Look, I can get you fresh clothes." Your hand touches the bottom of his shirt to lift it up. His eyes are on you, which makes your eyes meet his. You instantly blush, realizing you're trying to take off Embry's shirt. "Sorry." You back away. "I didn't mean it like that. Just, uh, worried." You stumble on your words. He licks his lips and raises an eyebrow at you. "I have clothes if you want them." You look away from him. "I never get cold." He says. You chuckle at his manly ego and look up at him. "Em, everyone gets cold." You laugh, shaking your head. He sighs and then takes his shirt off. "Touch me." His face is serious. You're in shock. You're stuck. But, your body does as he says like you always do because listening to him is natural. You're safe. You're comfortable. You step right in front of his body and reach your hand up to touch shis abs. He does feel very warm. And God, his abs feel so hard. His face is inches from yours when you look up at him. You cough awkwardly and then step back. "How are you so warm?" You ask. "If I tell you something... really crazy.." He laughs at the end, "will you believe me?" His face goes back to being serious. You do trust him. You trust him and his people. You met him and Jacob while you were out and about trying to find something to do in your new area. After that, you haven't left Embry's side much.

"Yes." You breathe out. "The tattoo." He points to his shoulder. "We all have them. The shifters. Our tribe, we come from wolves. We protect our people from danger." He says. Embrys a wolf? "Wait, huh? You and your friends are wolves?" You ask with a deeply confused tone and face. "Yes." He replies. "Uh? What's the danger?" You ask, looking around. "Vampires." He gulps. "What? That's crazy." You reply. He nods his head and sighs. "Trust me. I know. Jacob has his own pack. His wife, Renesmee." He looks at you. You nod your head. "She's half human half vampire." He says. Your knees get a bit weak, so you sit at the dining table. He sits down next to you. "You're the only outsider I can tell because you're my soulmate."

-------

Jacob shoots the 8 ball in the hole, winning the game. "Damn it." You hiss. Renesmee and Embry laugh. "We told you! Jake's a beast." Embry grabs onto your waist and pulls you into him. You lean your head back and look up at his face. He's smiling at you, but you turn around, lean up, and press your lips on his. First kiss.

You're a little tipsy with the other imprints. You, Embry, Renesmee, and Jacob are in the game room at Jake's house.

The kiss shocks him, and he pulls away, chuckling. "Damn, how drunk are you?" He asks. Jacob laughs at Embry. "Dawg, even if she's sober, she wants you." Jacob sets all of the colorful balls back in the middle of the pool table. Embry bites his lip and kisses your cheek. "When you're sober, we'll come back to this." He says.

You wake up in a room you haven't seen before. But the smell automatically tells you where you are. The bed is small with brown bedding. Dream catchers fill the walls as well as some band posters. You know this is Embry's house. You're in his bed. You stand up and walk out of the room, not really sure where to walk to. You've never been in his house. You turn and walk into the living room. "Embry is sitting up on the couch, but his head is leaned to the side, and he's snoozing. His feet are propped up on the table in front of him. "Embry?" You ask. His eyes open, and he looks at you. "Sorry, I didn't mean to steal your bed." You giggle. He yawns and shakes his head. "Don't worry about it." You sit down next to him, remembering that you kissed him. "Embry?" You ask. "Mhm?" He stands up, grabbing his keys. "Was it okay that I kissed you?" You look up at him. "It's only okay if you plan on doing it again and for the rest of your life." He smiles. Your cheeks burn red, and you stand up. He looks over your face, and you reach around, pulling his hair back behind his shoulders, pushing some strands behind his ears. "I would do it again, but I need to brush my teeth and shower." You giggle. He rolls his eyes, biting his lip and smiling. "I'll take you home, baby." He says. He said it so naturally, like you shouldn't have questioned it, but you caught it really quick.

You step out of your bathroom and see a shirtless Embry, laying on your couch. "Up." You tell him. He sits up, and you sit next to him. "Floor." You demand. He raises an eyebrow and sits on the floor between your legs. You start playing with his hair. His hair is super soft and beautiful. "Am I your baby?" You ask. "Yes." He replies. You run your fingers through his hair, up his scalp, and pull back slightly so he's looking up at you. "Kiss me." You order. He doesn't hesitate to grab your face and kiss you. His lips are soft and warm. Love is pouring into your mouth. You pull him up. He gets on the couch next to you, pulling your body up on his lap. You pull away and look into his brown eyes. "Embry Call. Claim me." His eyes widen, and his grip tightens on your back. "As you wish."

FANFIC TAGGING GAME

I got (honorable) tagged by the wonderful @theartofdreaming1- thanks!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? - 321

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,322,068 words (at the moment)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Still writing for The Flash, but every once in a while a new show/movie grabs my fancy and I write a few fics for that.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

An unimpressive bunch but here goes: Muse (456), Replacement Scrunchie (393), Fallen Star (357), Inconvenient Inspiration (343), and Drabbles (277). Muse is a handful of one-shots based solely off spoilers before I saw the eps they were for. Replacement Scrunchie is my sole fic for the TATBILB fandom about Peter & LJ's first date (which was way less impressive than what the sequel movie gave us, WOW). Fallen Star is my most popular westallen fic to date, so that one's actually not too surprising. But both Inconvenient Inspiration and Drabbles are requested (the latter) and spontaneous (the former) brainstorming ficlets and snippets for The Flash/WA. Bo-ring.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Eventually.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh, gosh, I have so many unfinished fics that it's hard to remember the complete ones that I finished that didn't end so happy, of which there aren't many. Maybe...Breaking Point though.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All the others have happy endings. Go read them. Lol.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

When I wrote for another fandom I did, but not really in The Flash fandom, which is nice.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yep. And uh...descriptive, I guess? I'm def not the best out there, but I do my best and for the most part smut-lovers seem to enjoy.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I've attempted a couple crossovers, but I haven't completed any or gotten far with them, usually because there wasn't an audience for it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yeah, I discovered a whole bunch on another website years ago.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

In the process of it!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Stuck on Westallen atm, but I used to write Chair, and I was highly obsessed with them as well.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Oh god, I have SO MANY WIPs. One that I really want to finish but fear I won't though has got to be He's MY Barry Allen. I'm just stuck on what the next chapter will look like, and as of yet no one has come forward with a solution. Lol. The Problem is Tony Woodward is another one like that.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'd like to think I can hook people into my fics fairly well and drop enough cliffies to keep them coming back for more. But ofc the smut helps too. Most of my fics include at least some smut, even a single scene.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Sometimes I have trouble making a chapter (or a scene for that matter) all that long. I've seen people write like 10k+ for a chap, and unless I'm crazy inspired, roughly 1-3k is what you're getting.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I actually dabbled in this a little bit for a westallen fic where Iris was learning Italian, I think? I did some research and managed to sift in enough for that one-shot, but I can't imagine I'd do it repeatedly or for a multi-chap.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I believe it was the STAR WARS prequels, but it might've been The Day After Tomorrow.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

It's unfinished, but there's so much untapped potential in my Flashpoint fic. Lots of world-building that's present as it rides the line between canon divergent and AU. Hopefully one day I'll get back to it.

...

As much as I'd love to tag a bunch of people, I can't recall anyone who still writes fic that I follow on here, so I'll just shout out my bestie @simplylove101 who is prob done with writing but may want to answer these questions either way!

Baldur's Gate 3 Tav Ask Game

Got this list of questions from the amazing @tolkien-fantasy. If you want to answer those questions, don't forget to tag @tolkien-fantasyn-fantasy or make a reblog

The questions

Why did you pick the race you did for your Tav?

Tyrael is a half-elf. I chose that race because they are stuck between two worlds. They live too short for elves but too long for humans. Driven by elven wanderlust and human ambitions, they wander over Faeurun, seeking for a place to belong.

Why did you pick the class you did for your Tav?

Barbarian. It resonates with me.

What is your character’s moral alignment?

Chaotic good. Tyrael is a good person on the overall but she doesn't care about rules.

How did you choose your Tav’s name, if you gave them a unique one?

Generated via https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com . Tyrael grew among humans and has a name of the elven origin.

What are your character’s strongest and weakest stats (strength, charisma, etc)? 

Strength 16 and Intelligence 8. She can't read.

What is your Tav’s origin story? 

You can read it here . In short, it's angst and child neglect.

What was the most significant moment in your Tav’s origin story? 

A murder attempt by her human siblings which awoke RAGE in her.

What deity, if any, does your character worship? 

None. Tyrael feels abandoned by both elven and human gods but she believes in ancestral spirits who guide her through the fight.

What is your Tav’s biggest priority or goal?

Freedom.

If your Tav didn’t become an adventurer, what else would they be doing?

She has no idea and never thought about it.

What is your Tav’s most used weapon or spell? 

RAGE

What is your Tav’s favorite school of magic/weapon type?

Two-handed axe.

How does your Tav fight in a combat situation?

RAGE and attack!

Does your Tav know any other languages besides Common? 

Sylvan Elven

If your Tav could/does multiclass, what other class would they choose?

Battlerager (Barbarian + Paladin). I think Tyrael will become more lawful with years to pass but not less fierceful.

Which of the companions does your Tav trust most? 

Astarion, Wyll and Karlach

Which of the companions does your Tav distrust most?

Gale. Wizards are too smart, they can't be trusted.

Who is your Tav’s biggest rival?

No one, she is confident in her axe.

Who is your Tav romancing, if anyone?

Astarion, of course.

If you’re romancing anyone, why did your Tav fall for them? And why did that character fall for your Tav?

Tyrael fell from the first murder attempt. Astarion also reminds her of a fairytale prince who was turned into a monster and saved by an ancient queen-warrior. Astarion fell for Tyrael for her kindness - she treated him well since the first moment. Protected him and was genuinly interested in Astarion as a person.

If you’re romancing anyone, who fell first and who fell harder?

Tyrael fell first, Astarion fell harder.

How does your Tav act around their crush?

Tyrael is very straightforward and don't tend to act clumsily. At the same time, she has to be careful not to cross his boundaries.

What is your Tav’s favorite moment they’ve had with their lover?

Tyrael isn't a person to be cared for. No one protects Barbarians. When she is wounded in a fight, she is the last one to be offered support or a healing potion. It is always like that. So, imagine her shock when suddenly Astarion kneels beside her and offers her help and then carries to the camp.

What is your Tav attracted to? What are their turn-ons and turn-offs? 

She is turned-off by attempts to dominate her.

Does your Tav have any biases against other classes or races? 

Wizards are stupid, gnomes are ugly, half-orks get the worst from two worlds.

What is the most prominent color in your Tav’s color scheme?

Red.

What is their sense of humor like?

Always a bit off.

What is your Tav’s guilty pleasure?

Fairytales and stories about heroes. The more naive they are, the better.

How easily offended are they? How do they act when offended?

Tyrael isn't offended easily but she is protective over people she cares. If you want to offend Astarion, beware the rage.

How does your Tav react when someone insults their friend/partner?

She threatens to break their bones.

How does your Tav dress for different occasions, like very fancy situations?

Practical.

How did your Tav get their scars, if they have any?

The facial scars are the result of a fight with a bear when she was 15 when, in a fight, she used Rage for the first time.

What is your Tav’s relationship with their family?

She has none. Mother cheated with an elf, gave birth to Tyrael and always treated the girl as if it had been her fault.

What is your Tav’s opinion on nobility and authority?

Eat the rich, steal their gold.

How does your Tav react to wearing the Wavemother’s robe? How do they react to their partner wearing it?

Awkward. That thing looks hideous.

What is your Tav’s favorite type of environment? Like in a tavern, a library, out in the wilderness, underground, etc.

Her two-handed axe.

Where does your Tav feel most at home?

Fight. Gather loot. Get gold. Drink ale. Fight again.

What does your Tav want in their future? (domestic bliss, more adventure, a family, etc)

What is your Tav’s worst fear?

She is afraid to lose her freedom. There have been too many warrior women who were enslaved and degrated to mere whores in beds of powerful men.

Is your Tav easily tricked or deceived?

She is because she isn't really smart but at the same time she has good intuition.

If your Tav was granted a single wish, what would it be?

To cure Astarion of his vampirism or, at least, allow him to walk in the sun.

How does your Tav feel about keeping secrets, both their own and others?

She respects people's right for them.

How would your Tav react to a love confession?

When Astarion confessed his feelings, she was shocked to hear these words.

What Tarot Card best represents your Tav?

Ten of Swords.

What would be your Tav’s major in college?

She wouldn't be accepted in college.

Does your Tav consider themselves a hero, villain, victim or something else?

A hero.

How good is your Tav at giving advice? How good are they at following it themselves?

Depends. In a fight, Tyrael is better to be listened to. Aside battle, she's not very competent.

How does your Tav get along with each party member?

Pretty good, she doesn't like hurting people on purpose. Though, she was very angry with Halsin who tried to propose her right in front of Astarion.

What are your Tav’s other hobbies?

She enjoys listening to good stories.

20 Questions for Fic Writers Game

Tagged by @shenanigans-and-imagines! I don't usually do these, but hell why not

1 - How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 56 individual "works", but that doesn't count how many chapters/actual fics I have posted there

-

2 - What's your total AO3 word count?

373,417

-

3 - What fandoms do you write for?

So many, oh god. Markiplier Egos, Marvel, The Witcher, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, NCIS, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, The Arcana, For The Love Of The Gods, Ace Attorney, Indiana Jones, Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Howl's Moving Castle, Enola Holmes, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Baldur's Gate 3. These are just all the fandoms I have characters I will write for in, so even though I don't have fics for all these fandoms, I will write for them

-

4 - What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

You Have A Type, Don't You? - Astarion x gn!Tav/Reader

I Come With Knives (series) - Astarion x gn!Tav/Reader

Designated Lockpicker - Astarion x gn!Tav/Reader

Astarion Drabbles - Astarion x Tav/Reader ficlets

You Hate Me - Astarion x gn!Tav/Reader

-

5 - Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

It depends on the comment, but I don't respond all the time. If someone has a question, or I feel I need to correct them/steer them in the right direction, I'll answer, but I don't respond to most of the ones gushing/aweing over the fic, not to say I don't still appreciate them all immensely.

-

6 - What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Rom, My Beloved is my saddest/angstiest from my individual works, but there are some really angsty fics in my Loki and Markiplier Ego compiled works. I wrote it because Rom is my favorite Bloodborne boss and I just loved her lore, but tragedy abounds when you talk about a Soulsborne game

-

7 -What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

A lot of my fics nowadays have happy endings, but my favorite of my completed individual works is probably The Rescue of Magistrate Ancunin, because it's open-ended as to what could happen next but it takes a devastating moment from Astarion's life and makes it nice and a little silly

-

8 - Do you get hate on fics?

In recent memory, no, but I'm sure I have at some point. I usually delete it and move on

-

9 - Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Very vanilla but very emotionally-charged. I have a tendency to focus more on the emotions of those involved and how they feel about their partner over how the sex feels

-

10 - Do you write crossovers?

No, but I have thought about doing a Witcher and Bloodborne crossover, because I think it would be very interesting

-

11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. I did check through the major sites when AI bots started scraping fics off AO3, but I didn't see anything then. If anything does come up though, absolutely let me know

-

12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but! Back when I wrote on Wattpad, I had some very lovely person ask to read my fic on Youtube. I agreed and I wish I could find it, because I just remember being so elated by it

-

13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope. I don't really know how to approach co-writing, and it's just not something I'm too interested in rn

-

14 - What's your all time favorite ship?

Uh uhm pass (I can't think of any 💀)

-

15 - What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I have a Breath of the Wild fic planned out, with notes and even a first chapter written out and future ones with little bits drabbled out, but when I tried revisiting it again, I was just so lost in what I had planned. I hope one day I can finish it, but it's not gonna be soon

-

16 - What are your writing strengths?

I've been told that it's the little details I add that ground it more into reality, ie hair getting caught on earrings or a voice cracking while trying to sing

-

17 - What are your writing weaknesses?

I feel like I don't describe things complex enough. I can describe emotions or scenery and dip in a little bit, but I can never get it deep *enough*, but I know that comes mostly with neurodivergences and comparing myself to others

-

18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I hate when writers have foreign words/phrases in the middle of a fic and don't translate them until the very very end. That means I have so pick up the context clues around it, translate it myself, or risk getting spoiled trying to find the translation

Also, if your character uses sign language, don't put it in italics or ' ', just write it out like if it was verbal dialogue. "They signed, '[fill in the blank]'" Describe the way the gestures are formed (sloppy, sharp, indecipherable, fast) to get across emotion, and also the expressions on their face, since sign languages are very heavily reliant on facial emotions to ass meaning to the signs themselves

19 - First fandom you wrote for?

Hard to say. I first started my writing on Wattpad, and have since been locked out of that account, but it was probably Doctor Who, knowing me

-

20 - Favorite fic you've written?

I have a hard time picking favorites! And I like a bunch of them for a variety of different reasons, and always have things to nitpick about them

I will say I am really really enjoying my work on I Come With Knives so far. It's a passion project and I have some very big, angsty things planned for the future that I can't wait to get to >:3

I don't really know who to tag for these things ever, so if you want to do it, go for it :)

This fun little thing has been going around twitter. I said who needs likes when you can have tav lore! So, I answered them all! here they are:

1. Her birth name is Suspiria, she later took on the last name windfall after her late care taker Wynona Windfall a sweet dwarf alchemist living in the secluded woods beyond baldurs gate. Suspiria is an asmodeous tiefling beast master ranger with a wolf named Karma. Her background is charlatan from her time living under her slavers, but she could also have a little bit of an outlander background after she escaped. Her pronouns are she/her and her alignment is chaotic neutral, but leaning chaotic good.

2. Suspiria was a charlatan in baldurs gate making some shady deals to get by. She probably was up to some scheme to make a quick dollar when she was captured.

3. She slept with astarion, but ultimately fell in love with Gale. They have some history, even though they didn’t realize it at first.

4. After the romance drama settled, her an astarion became besties. Her and karlach are also very well. She never liked wyll, and found him very annoying, but karlach cared about him, so she tried to treat him with respect and had his back along the journey.

5. Many of the tieflings died on their journey through the shadow cursed lands. This really hurt her, but she would never show it. she tried everything to protect her kin, but she couldn’t save them all.

6. Post game, she is happily married to Gale & living in waterdeep. She raises hunter pets, mostly wolves, and helps train hunter pets and young rangers a few times a week. She never imagined herself settling down, but it was what she never knew she truly wanted.

7. Supiria has no living blood family left, at least not to her knowledge, but she has a mother figure in her life who took her in a few years after she escaped her slave owner.

8. She specializes in archery, but she is naturally inclined to the arcane to some degree and knows a few cantrips and healing spells.

9. Her proudest moment was saving the tieflings in the emerald grove and sticking it to Khaga. She looks out for her kin whenever she can.

10. She has thigh high leather boots that also act as sufficient armor. At camp she like to be comfortable, and prefers to let a little skin show

11. She feels most relaxed being in nature, preferably by a lake or stream.

12. She originally took Raphael’s deal out of a moment of weakness. She doesn’t always look past her own self interest right away, since she had to look out for herself for so long. But karlach talked some sense into her, and she was thrilled to put Raphael in his place and steal all his treasure. She had helped yugir back in the sharran temple, so he helped her to break into Raphael’s, which solidified her decision to break the contract.

13. She doesn’t follow any gods, she strongly dislikes gods and feels they’re selfish beings who toy with mortals for fun, this was further confirmed for her after falling for Gale.

14. She was living on the outskirts of baldurs gate, doing odd jobs and adventures to earn some coin. She liked being free and untethered to any one place after being forced to stay in one place as a slave

15. She got along very well with Zevlor and had immense respect for him. She looks up to him like a father now.

16. She didn’t know her guardian, she was a tough and beautiful drow, so she was less hesitant to trust her than she would have been with another person, since drow also face similar societal challenges.

17. Suspirias tiefling village was raded when she was about 5 years old, her parents were killed and she was sold into slavery on the black market. She had several slave owners over the years and lived in a few different places. Some were worse than others, but they were all abusive. Her last owner was an older human man. He was a bad man, but never hurt her like the others, but she ultimately killed him and ran away to escape slavery all together. She was around 12 when she escaped.

18. Hurting astarion, not so much sleeping with him, but for leading him on and hurting him in the end. Although they’ve all moved on at this point, it weighed heavy on her for a while.

19. These slide off easily, but good luck breaking down those walls.

20. Not in particular

21. Teasing in more ways than one 😉 and sarcasm and hugging, which is reserved for only those she cared for most

22. Before the journey, her greatest fear was falling in love, or having someone she was afraid to lose. After, losing her friends and/or her Husband.

23. She actually felt some level of empathy for ketheric, she longed for her family desperately too once, especially when she was young, and she made some poor decisions because of it. She hated gortash and Orin, they were selfish and sloppy and too stupid to have so much power.

24. She carried a book Gale gave her everywhere, although she didn’t recognize it was his at the start of the journey. They only met once briefly as children and he gave her the book because he didn’t want her to be lonely.

25. Her last slave owner was not too far from baldurs gate, when she ran away and was eventually taken in by wynona, she started going there often to help her caretaker sell her potions, and to collect supplies, etc.

26. the Balthazar fight was so hard! She wasnt comfortable with the terrain and that jerk reminded her of slavers, keeping alin like that. It really got to her head. She was trying to be supportive of ShadowHeart, but she was frustrated with her inability to see her goddess for what she is.

27. Realizing she was in love with Gale and realizing he was on a suicide mission. She was furious with mystra and elminster and even with Gale for considering it, and she didn’t want to accept her love for him. She mostly suffered in silence, but her team noticed her mind was elsewhere from time to time.

28. Her reputation before was very much charlatan. She was scheming and sly, and kind of a bitch, and she liked it. She intimidated her way through many schemes and caused quite a bit of trouble in her time in baldurs gate.

29. She isn’t really a morning person, so she often stayed up late. She did a lot of the hunting and gathering, collecting firewood and finding food and medicine for the group.

30. She freed Orpheus and let him take on the illithid form, since she refused. She has come a long way, but she is still very self serving in some lights. (I didn’t have lazel in my original run, but I am replaying and have lazel this time, so her ending may change) still ends up with Gale in the end no matter what.

Thank you for coming to my rant. Ok bye 👋😅

[kolomo]

[nonbinary-sticks-the-badger]

ummm errr heres my NiGHTS playlist

tbf its just meant to be songs that feel magical and NiGHTS was the best character i thought i could assign to a playlist of that theme but whatever. explanations under cut

1. Gate of Your Dream SEGA SOUND TEAM

hurrrr hurrr NiGHTS into dreams song fits NiGHTS' character

2. Peaceful Moment SEGA SOUND TEAM

yeah this is pretty magic and from NiGHTS hurrrr

3. Fragmented Nights SEGA SOUND TEAM

guess the explanation

4. Introduced Dream SEGA SOUND TEAM

hmmmmmmmmm

5. Paternal Horn SEGA SOUND TEAM

ummmm

6. After The Dream SEGA SOUND TEAM

see 1 - 5

7. Star Light Zone Masato Nakamura

THE STAGE TAKES PLACE WITH STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY!!! LIKE NiGHTS!!! AND ALSO IS SONIC TEAM!!!

8. Special Stage (Sonic 1) Masato Nakamura

mysterious and surreal... some may say dreamlike... and also sonic team

9. Duel in Dream SEGA SOUND TEAM

like the first one but instead of NiGHTS into dreams its journey of dreams

10. Peaceful Moment SEGA SOUND TEAM

if i include the NiD version i may as well include the JoD version. i didnt do this with gate of your dream because the JoD version sounds so bad

11. Merry Memory Go Round SEGA SOUND TEAM

this is getting exhausting

12. Eloquent Echo: River Rescue SEGA SOUND TEAM

do you hear the flibberty jibberty jibber jabber with an 'oh my god ive gotta get out of here or ill have another word to sell another story to tell another time piece ringing the bell' do you hear the clocks stop when you reach the end no you know it must be neverending comprehend if you can but when you try to pretend to understand you resemble a fool although youre only a man so give it up and smile

13. Dreams Dreams - Located Link Mix (Instrumental) SEGA SOUND TEAM

see 9 - 12

14. Collision Chaos - "G" Mix SEGA SOUND TEAM

yeah this feels like NiGHTS

15. Tidal Tempest - "G" Mix SEGA SOUND TEAM

these are also obviously sonic team, yeah, you get it

16. Zone Clear SEGA SOUND TEAM

TELEPORTATION YEAH! ZIBITTY BUP-BUP!

17. Sky Chase Zone Masato Nakamura

i think you get the point

18. Special Stage (Sonic 2) - Demo Masato Nakamura

i recently got into the sonic 1&2 demos. some of them are bangers, such as this one

19. Special Stage (Sonic 1) - Demo Masato Nakamura

see above, with the additional bonus of me adding the mega drive version before

20. Vanilla Jack Stauber

FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!! A SONG I CAN ACTUALLY EXPLAIN BECAUSE IT ISNT NiGHTS OR SONIC!!!

and i just realised its instrumental. great. if it helps, its sort of like a lullaby.

21. dancing around in circles until my little feet fall off spellcasting

WOOHOO!!! SILLY CLOWN MUSIC!!! LIKE NiGHTS!!!!

22. Dream Sweet in Sea Major Miracle Musical

alooooooooooone

i think less about the lyrics and more about the fact this sounds vaguely magic and a little christmassy (because, yk, christmas NiD)???

23. A Lady Tally Hall

idk its kinda calm ig. if you ignore the 'lady' bit (although NiGHTS probably wouldnt mind being called that) i suppose you could say theyre good and evil? idk

24. 13 Tally Hall

i probably should have added ruler of everything afterwards but idk why i feel i shouldnt

25. Spring Yard Zone Masato Nakamura

this is my favourite stage in sonic 1!!! so much so that i made up loads of lore about it having homes just so that i could make an oc be from there!!! anyway yeah the usual. its sonic team. sounds vaguely magical.

26. Temptation Stairway (Waltz Variation) Metaroom

when i got into ena temptation stairway was the latest episode, or really anything to do with ena. maybe the first teaser for dream bbq was out??? before we knew it was a game??? idk. point is, ena is absolutely bafflingly surreal, and i could sort of imagine this in a NiGHTS game. sonic team please contact metaroom for any future NiGHTS projects please please please 🙏🙏🙏

27. Fancam RYL0, Aron Enoch

the lyrics dont fit even slightly ❤️ but it sounds cute

28. Theme of "CHAO" SEGA SOUND TEAM

this is such a silly happy song from a game that references NiGHTS! also ive literally gone bankrupt from buying stuff in the chao garden black market in sadx lol

29. Isle Unto Thyself Miracle Musical

to me, this DEFINITELY fits the magical theme, as well as the sensation of flying. i have absolutely no idea what any of the lyrics mean.

30. Black Rainbows Miracle Musical

it also feels kinda magical and follows isle unto thyself

31. White Ball Miracle Musical

see above only less because it feels magical and more because it follows black rainbows. i didnt add murders because that's definitely a stretch to say it fits NiGHTS

[oasivy]

20 Questions: Fic Author Edition

omg <3. thank you for tagging me @bodyelectric77<3 <3. ive never done this before so this is so exciting :o)

1) How many works do you have on ao3?

45. damn!

2) What's your total AO3 word count?

601,692

3) What fandoms do you write for?

the hunger games / ballad of songbirds and snakes mostly. sometimes total drama island lol

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

a deep dive into the mind of annie cresta

get a load of this monster

a collection of encanto what-ifs

eat my heart out with a spoon

u focus on the wrong thing and it shows

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i love responding to comments! it blows my mind that there are people reading words i wrote and taking time out of their day to be so sweet! <3

6) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

probs you hurt my head like cheap red wine

7) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

queen of crabs, it's the silly awkward first date antics odesta deserves <3

8) Do you get hate on fics?

no (thank god)

9) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

i tried writing E rated smut once but one thing about me is that intimacy makes me laugh out fucking loud (like i always try to do bits like im wearing the crown of clowns it can get very awkward) so whenever i write anything smut-adjacent im incapable of writing it sexy i just kinda feel silly the entire time. perhaps its the asexual in me

10) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

nah. but i think an umbrella academy and succession crossover would fuck

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

nope

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

nope

14) What's your all-time favorite ship?

percabeth <3 (sorry odesta but on my first read thru of the hunger games i hated annie for no fucking reason and developed a hc that johanna and finnick were having an affair.. but that is a convo for another day. LOVE them now tho obv, but ive been shipping percabeth since day 1 theyre so cute and in luv)

15) What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

tbh prob the odesta greek au. i love the concept (siren!annie is very important to me) but im just not in a greek mythology mood anymore

16) What are your writing strengths?

sometimes when i write emotions i feel like as a reader you can look at it and go "oh okay. i know that feeling" which is awesome

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

i am in love with run on sentences. "no its just a stream of consciouness writing style" baby you just wrote something that's mostly just em dashes and semicolons and parenthesis. also i don't know how to describe stuff so thank god for the internet bc i link outfits like my life depends on it. ive always struggled w writing locations too. and ive been wanting to get better at writing bits

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

i tried doing this with a mags fanfic i wrote bc i hc that d4 spoke spanish before the first war. there is literally only one sentence in spanish though bc i knew for a fact the phrasing was correct (at least in a casual, conversational setting) but i do think it's really cool when people write d4 characters having entire convos in spanish even though im not confident enough in my langauge skills to do it myself. also i just don't think d4 would know how to speak spanish in canon times, prob just affectionate terms like mija/o or mano or chula. like stuff that doesn't rlly affect how the capitol understands them. i get into this in the fic, but i think even by mags’ generation spanish would stop being a common language in d4. like i love the sentiment of her carrying a piece of that w her but i don’t think the capitol would let them get away with that and it’s also Not Easy to remember how to speak a language you only learned as a child and then never used for the rest of ur life, which is what i imagined happened with her + her gen. like. me and my siblings only know english bc the moment my dad moved here he was like “okay. English Time” and that stemmed from the pressure to assimilate can you imagine if the actual law got involved. anyway this answer got long but i have a lot of thoughts about this sorta stuff, esp in d4

19) First fandom you wrote for?

percy jackson lol

20) Favorite fic you've ever written?

don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. tbh this answer changes all the time any fic im currently working on is automatically my fav lol

idk why i feel a bit silly about tagging people directly, so i am informally tagging anyone who wants to do this sorry i hope this isn't a cop out <3. ily

[jewelledfoxes]

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks @medusasfinalgirl for tagging me!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 16 atm! (1 anonymous) Which is wild to me. English was my least favourite subject in school.

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 198,609 which, again, absolutely wild.

3. What fandoms do you write for? At the minute, just stranger things. But my early fics were Game of Thrones and Bridgerton.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? I'm just going off ST fics so:

(Anything You) Want - friends to lovers mutual pining Nice (Just Ain't My Type) - silly celebrity rivals au (I Don't Have To Tell You But) You're The Only One - AYW college sequel This Be The Verse - on a theme of parenthood Stay - AYW Eddie POV

I only consider 2 of these to actually be amongst my "best" fics tho.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! I definitely try my best to respond to everything as quickly as possible. I feel very honoured that there are people out there who take time out of their day to let me know they enjoyed. Makes my day every single time!!

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Oooh okay, Haunt Me, Then! (kinktober spectrophilia fic) for now, but it's very possible that She's Got A Boyfriend Anyway (classic cheating-on-Jason fic) might beat it when I get round to finishing it.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I don't know if any of my fics have particularly strong happy endings, but off the top of my head it's got to be This Be The Verse.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Defo not on hellcheer ones! Everyone's so nice here!!! <3 My very first fic got SO MUCH hate on it but that's because I wrote it when I was 17 and it WAS terrible.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Really never thought I would, but more of my fics have smut in them than not these days lol. Idk, something about hellcheer just really made me go ...these two should be going at it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I don't, and I'd be very surprised if I ever do tbh.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Nope!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope again!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I haven't, and I'm not really sure I can ever imagine myself co-writing.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship? I mean, I've not written 13 fics for any ship other than hellcheer so that's something. In terms of longevity, Katniss/Peeta and Finnick/Annie still have the same effect on me as they did when I first read the book at like 13 years old.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? What a stressful question! I doubt I'll finish off Hard to Forgive (Hard to Forget) because it would be one of those proper multi-chapters (40k words ish by my estimates) and I just don't think I could do it.

16. What are your writing strengths? Hmm I'm not sure. I used to be quite good at setting a scene but I think I'm losing that a little. If I'm honest, recently I've been really proud of the sheer volume of what I've been writing and my willingness to venture out of my comfort zone.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? God, where to start. Weak dialogue, my repetitive writing style, difficulty writing endings, complete inability to do anything concisely. But I genuinely feel like I'm slowly improving bit by bit!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I did French and Spanish in school, French to a slightly higher level than Spanish, so I'd feel comfortable including either of those at a school level (like them trying out saying things like "at the weekend I like to go to the park" and "I have two brothers and no sisters" in a class) but wouldn't want to risk anything more complex!

19. First fandom you wrote for? The Hunger Games. I never posted it anywhere, but I still have my old drafts for fics that I look back on every now and again just to see how far I've come!

20. Favorite fic you've written? So hard to choose! This Be The Verse because it felt so immensely personal to write or Cherry (sapphic hellcheer) because it was a long time coming. Both are eclipsed by a soon-to-be-uploaded kinktober foot fic that I will reveal is called Heart and Sole (and yes it's as dumb and silly as the title implies)!

Okay that was fun! I'm not 100% sure on who I follow writes but I'm p sure @gingertumericlemon, @bibiche007 and @achilleanenjolras all do, so would love to hear your responses if you fancy it!

A Ship Thing I saw that I’m gonna use for Matt/Asha, because I barely see any content of this pairing

1. …I think this GIF answers that question

2. They switch, but Matt’s usually the big spoon because I like to imagine he’s super cuddly

3. Asha could pick Matt up, no problem.

4. Matt knows that Asha can hold up her own, so he doesn’t worry as much as she does. On the other hand, Asha tends to worry more when they’re out on the “battlefield” or when he’s off somewhere by himself.

5. Asha. She’d probably let Matt try it every once in a while if they wanted to do some NyteBlayde roleplaying, but Asha likes Matt more when he’s himself.

6. Depends on the situation. If they’re together, like if they’re working or just hanging out on the ship, Matt will usually initiate kisses. But if they’ve been apart for a while (ie; Asha getting rescued from her simulation) Asha will always kiss Matt first.

7. Asha probably is more used to waking up early, while Matt likely stays up half the night hacking or playing games.

8. They both have their moments where they act before they think. Matt is probably the more likely candidate.

9. Matt confesses his feelings first, but Asha says “I love you” before he can finish

10. Asha’s probably better, but they both prefer going out.

11. Matt. Complete with a NyteBlayde impression and bad puns.

12. Matt usually feels insecure that most of the Saints are usually out with guns blazing while he’s hidden behind a screen, but Asha tells him that he’s very helpful with what he does.

13. Yes. Both would.

14. Yes, but they’d do it differently. Asha would kick the perpetrator’s ass, while Matt would ruin their life using whatever technology he can come across.

15. Matt’s a selfie guy, usually taking pictures with Asha in the background doing her own thing with the caption “Hanging out with GF ❤️”

16. Matt

17. Asha

18. Matt’s super pale, so Asha finds it pretty easy to make him blush over anything. Even if he tries to deny that he’s blushing, it’s written all over his face.

19. Asha sits on Matt’s lap, while Matt likes laying his head on Asha’s lap

20. Matt

21. At that point, they’re both comfortable in their relationship that butterflies only seem happen when one of them goes out of their way to make a romantic gesture. Or if they see their partner doing something cool.

22. Matt’s NyteBlayde impression never fails to make Asha laugh. While it’s not the reaction he expected the first time he did that, he was happy to know that she thought it was funny. Asha’s laugh is cute too, so that’s a huge bonus.

23. Oh god, Matt just. Chugging Saints Flow when he’s planning to pull an all nighter doing who knows what on his laptop, and Asha’s like “I swear, if you keep me up all night with this, I’ll kill you.”

24. Asha’s more ticklish, but Matt has only tickled her once. He wound up not needing to wear makeup on his left eye for about a week. While it was convenient, he doesn’t plan on making that mistake again. Black eyes just aren’t worth it.

25. Asha

26. Matt probably comes home with a stray kitten once every month. They never keep the cats, but they always go to the animal shelter across the street

27. They both have their own blankets so they don’t have that problem, but Matt usually finds himself under Asha’s blanket when he wakes up in the morning

28. Neither.

29. Again, neither. However!! Rina (my Saints Row “Playa”) dedicates certain songs to Matt and Asha whenever she performs a song cover anywhere.

30. After seeing Matt get killed over and over in her simulation, she vows to never let that happen for real.

31. Matt

32. Asha

33. Matt

34. Asha

35. Asha wears some of Matt’s T-shirts sometimes

36. Neither. It’s a bit embarrassing for both of them when people catch them in the act, or overhear them being all lovey-dovey

37. Matt for sure.

38. This is Saints Row, guys. When do they NOT swear?

39. Asha usually speaks Hindi in her sleep, but Matt can tell whether or not it’s about him. No particular reason, it’s just intuition.

40. Matt. In fact, meeting Asha was one of the many factors that gave him a reason to redeem himself.

Phew, that’s all of them. I’m on mobile so I can’t add a “read more”, so sorry if this clogs up your dash!
