owo writer truth or dare

🍓🕯️🥤

hello ! thanks for asking these !!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?

a high school classmate introduced me to tumblr and fandom as a concept (i was on fandom facebook accidentally answering all the quizzes, but didn't know that people like. talked to each other ???). and then she showed me her fanfiction.net account, specifically so i could read her angst titanic fic, which made me go ":000 i could do that omg" and i haven't looked back

🕯️ ⇢ on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy editing? why is that?

10 !!!!!!! love love love editing it's so fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love formatting, i love saying little sentences out loud to see how they sound, i love seeing the finished product after i've polished it lovingly... i love worldbuilding editing more than i love writing, in some aspects ? which in turn is why i love to beta and translate fics so much

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

OUGH just one ??? sorry i'm cheating but:

@notsuchasecret has many fandoms but i fell into their haikyuu fanfic, especially their Sugawara. ao3 link here

if you read bnha and also read in french: i cannot recommend @tasha-lemon enough, we should give more love to non-english fics and she makes absolutely incredible AUs !! ffnet link here

and also i cannot NOT mention @neallo (ao3 link here, death note), @lightyaoigami (ao3 link here, death note), and @quicktimeeventfull (ao3 link here, death note)

as for specific fanfics:

The Lost by unscrypted which was written for me about my bleach blorbos and i cried <33

Reaching Past The Wall by tenser, free! fanfic about Rin being trans. the impact this had on me is immeasurable

we suffer under the same condition (love) by siwona (@transkurootetsurou on here) is SOOOOO good. dimilix with just. poignant writing

EDIT: fuck i forgot hey, is it alright if i keep calling out to you? by flickercity. THEE bokuto manifesto of all times. to me. uncontrollable tears 100/10

Mondo Owada and Heathers is one of my favorite things so bear with me

So I've only a couple of fanfics and fanart where people throw the DA students into a Heathers theater or outfit, but it's always such a joy to see because I'm a general theater nerd and DA enjoyer.

And as I've said before on one of my first posts, Mondo is a big theater nerd. He adores Heathers as much as he adores Grease and would secretly love to be in any sort of production.

And just imagine if Hopes Peak allows some of the students to hold auditions for a play- oh a play you say? Well what kind? Well a musical production of course and gooD GOD MONDO STOP DONT RUN IN THE HALLS YOU'RE GONNA GET DETENTION

Let me tell you how fucking excited Mondo would get. He just lets it all out and starts gushing about musical theater to Leon, Chihiro, and Kiyotaka. He's so excited to see a proper production and is eager to see the final product- and then Sayaka suggests he audition (I personally think Sayaka received some sort of assignment revolving around organizing a musical event/doing this as a fundraiser/etc)

Mondo is SO ON BOARD TO AUDITION AND GETS SO EXCITED TO THE POINT ITS ACTUALLY FREAKING PEOPLE OUT AND AH-

Listen I just think Mondo being happy is a lovely concept and we need more of it. His voice is fine, but with Sayakas guidance he can pass as a fine JD (Sayaka insists he play JD cause of his voice, jacket, his knowledge of the play and character, etc)

Mondo is just so hyped and excited over the whole thing he doesn't even consider that his brother and gang might try to watch him BUTTT THATS FOR FUTURE MONDO TO WORRY ABOUT.

Here's the other students and cast members if anyone's curious.

Veronica Sawyer......Sayaka Maizono or Kiyotaka Ishimaru- FOR YOU ISHIMONDO LOVERS I SEE YALL

H. Chandler......Junko Enoshima or Byakuya Togami

H. Duke......Mukuro Ikusaba

H. McNamara......Miu Iruma or Mikan Tsumiki

Jason Dean......Mondo Owada

Martha Dunnstock......Chihiro Fujisaki

Ram Sweeney......Leon Kuwata

Kurt Kelly......Kaito Mamota

Mrs/Mr. Fleming......Yasuhiro Hagakure

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!

ah finally after a gazillion years i've been able to get around to doing this after being tagged by the ever sweet @fiercynn , so lemme straightaway get down to it.

note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc.

name and whatever you want to share about yourself

hello there, i'm a 24 year old gray-ace panromantic desi on the romance positive end of the arospec (im still undergoing the wonderful but also often difficult and long journey of discovering myself so this is subject to change :3), i prefer going by my username so i'm not sharing my name.

when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?

i watched bad buddy exactly 3 months ago on the 15th of May, 2023. i watched all the episodes all on the same day and i know the date because after finishing the show i sent a 7 minute long audio note gushing about the show to my best friend. i ADORED it that much. and that's where all of this started. i loved the show so much and the lack of people i knew irl who were interested meant i had to find other people in the fandom to freak out with. i kept posting one after another favourite bad buddy edit of mine on my twitter page, gushing about it, but i got barely any response and that's when i reminded myself that tumblr exists and i should get back on here. and that's how i made this account 2 weeks after i watched the show and voila here i am surrounded by people who are as crazy about the show as i am and i couldn't be more delighted about it :')

favorite ship(s)

patpran and inkpa ofc

favorite character(s)

i love pat with all my heart, the man he ends up becoming along the course of the show is one of my most favorite portrayals of any man ever BUT pran is my actual favorite, he is my baby, (somehow both) my elder and younger brother and my best friend and he has my whole heart. his love, his hesitance, his anxiety, his bravery, his dimples, his FOREHEAD, his striped shirts, his precious heart i would DIE for him no questions asked.

favorite episode(s)

episode 11. each segment had something for the heart, i adored every single second of it...the sheer volume of beaut quotes from this episode is mind blowing! ("being with you already feels like freedom", "i can be anywhere as long as i have you", "we have been happier a lot too", "thankyou for trying to make a silly guy like me happy..." "i wrote this song for him", "one man can't change the world, but this world can't change me too"), and the soft loving looks of adoration making me clutch my chest, but also there was the quintessential patpran banter and bad buddy humour and wisdom i LOVE this episode with all my heart.

episode 5 is perfection. it comes second for me, but that kiss will always be number 1 <3

favorite scene(s)

rooftop kiss, balcony phone call, episode 7 ending when pat comes to save the day and the play, episode 11 red shirts commitment expression scene, and the final credits and post credits scene

one thing you would change about the show if you could

i wished the gangs didnt bully eo or anybody else even in the beginning, i get it shows growth but still i wished that was shown differently. also i wish we got a conversation where they talk about the guitar. and while we're here i wish it was somehow longer, i could have watched ohmnanon be patpran for HOOOURS.

what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people?

traffic was slow for the crash years by @fiercynn aka the creator of this meme. i absolutely adored every single second of the fic. despite it giving me a WORLD of pain. all the pain made it more beautiful and everything was worth it in the end. like i said before you took a great thing and made it even better <3

every piece of art that @hereforlou comes up with. you are a GEM!

all of nanons gorgeous gifsets!!

same page video edit that even p'aof tweeted about. SO good.

enchanted (aka patpran's official song) and other patpran edits by this same SO very talented editor

mudhal nee mudivum nee - another beautiful edit but desi so its even better <3

this super clever edit of patpran to message in a bottle. it's an instant serotonin booster for me.

(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?

you can hear it in the silence - bad buddy bet era fic (the only one i've written till now)

my bad buddy textposts collection

my pran and pat's growth posts

this post that took me 20 mins to write but is one of my fav things ive written about the show

my long treatise of bet era patpran that took me a week!

list of accounts (hopefully i haven't forgotten any) whose meta and analysis and brainrot i absolutely adore- @miscellar , @telomeke-bbs , @grapejuicegay , @aroceu, @dudeyuri, @dribs-and-drabbles, @dimplesandfierceeyes, @sharingfandoms, @waitmyturtles, @ranchthoughts, @lurkingteapot, @lurkingshan, @thegayneurodivergentagenda, @kenmakaashi, @absolutebl, @charthanry, @bengiyo, @mahuhumaling, @panickedbisexualwatchesbl, @jemmo, @patspran, @fiercynn, @midnightfreeway, @fierceeyesanddimples and a couple more im sure ive missed. it was {and continues to be} a pleasure reading their thoughts about the show (or any other show that we've mutually watched).

a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol)

message in a bottle because of this edit

daylight cos of this edit

enchanted, because of the infinite edits we've got from it and if im not wrong pat ohm has acknowledged it too

and basically all other romantic songs in the history of romance i guess :3

alrighty then i think i'm done with this tag. this was a LOT of fun to compile <3

[digitalgate02]

I'm impressed how watching this movie has given me a whole new favorite, because when Rui was first shown, I had a ton of questions about him and Ukkomon -- even though their names weren't revealed.

You know… Something about Watanabe-sensei's art made me wonder a ton of things like "how old is he? "What kind of role will they have in the OG Adventure branch?" and I was definitely excited and happy to see a brand new story of something prior to Taichi and Daisuke's groups. You know, I have to admit that I felt robbed when ▽ put that cold opening invoking the Adv'99 novel short passage talking about the previous group going to the Digital World and the awakening of the Holy Beasts that I would have loved if this whole series was more about Meiko, Maki & Daigo.

Anyway, Rui and Ukkomon were thrown into this world with the premise that they were the first ones. If you know me well enough, this is something I wanted to know from day one, since I learned about the math lore and stuff. I wanted to see who came before Taichi and Daisuke. Kizuna definitely introduced us to Menoa, but her role in the movie… No spoilers here.

I wanted to know more about these new characters with a deep curiosity. Then, in late July 2022 at DigiFes, they just revealed their names and JP's voice actors. And they were two of my favorite VAs. And I was SO DEEP IN SPECULATION that I ended up making a lot of people possibly associate Rui with me when they see him (sorry), especially how for some reason I got one of my grumpy speculated Rui art on the icon for the 大和田ルイ tag on pixiv (sorry again).

I've been so aggressive about wanting to watch this movie and such, believing that my country wouldn't get it because we don't get anything new unless subbed on Crunchyroll yeah, that I was just expecting to watch it via a copy of the movie from my friends with either fansubs or EN subs ripped from the official release. But then… They actually released the movie here. And a lot of people were like "NI YOU HAVE TO GO WATCH THIS MOVIE, YOU'RE LITERALLY PROMOTING IT NONSTOP IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS WE'LL BE UPSET!" yeah.

The fact that the BR dub was scary in that PV made me afraid that people would make fun of it and turn this movie into a joke. But then they released the dub cast and most of the VAs were back. And the surprise was that one of my favorite BR dub VAs was voicing Rui in it. I watched the movie and really had a different opinion about it. I don't think it was a miscast or inappropriate -- it's just that you can't compare him to a legend like Ogata, man. But I loved the BR dub of that movie SO MUCH.

Anyway… I didn't expect to go full Rui-Ukkomon brainrot before. But now… And watching it again with some friends… I think they just clicked with me so much that I feel like I understand them on an emotional level.

A kid with no friends? A kid and mon who are terrible at communicating and just accidentally mess things up while trying to express how much they love each other? A kid who made friends with the 02 kids and learned that perfection does not exist and that you have to speak with your heart?

Yeah. Those hit me hard. I feel them a lot.

I would say I'm sorry for being so obnoxious and insufferable about them. But I'm not sorry for falling in love with them to the extent that I draw a TON of them nonstop and want to talk about them more, do headcanons, fanfics, and so many other things.

I'm always open to Rui-Ukko gushing and chatting.

And I hope my love for them is positive, encouraging you to find the characters that connect with you on an emotional level.

Happy Fanfic Writer's Appreciation Day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I will be fully honest. I have not read Thrown yet😭 It's been on my list because it seems right my alley but I keep waiting for a long weekend or something so I can get fully immersed. Unfortunately, that's means I don't have much to say specifically about your writing style. But your dedication to writing Thrown is incredible and I envy it! I wish I had an idea that spurred me to wrote over 100k for it! Truly that is an amazing amount of dedication and I cannot wait to jump in!

But I will say you are a delightful friend. I love how you send me every Astarion thing you see, even when you knew nothing about the character other than I liked him. Thank you for always being there to chat and or just listen. You're truly amazing, and it's ashamed we are destined to fight in the stars. Until then ❤️❤️

CAS!!! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ You beautiful ball of light!

If you ever read Thrown I hope you enjoy it, but please don't feel pressured to do so. As you mentioned, it is over 100,000 words which is a lot and nobody owes me that commitment lol. Plus it's still missing its last four chapters. 😬 (I'm working on it)

Also I haven't caught up on the new installments of HoC or Charmspeaker so we're even. 😆

Thank you for accepting my Astarion tidbits that I drop on your doorstep like a dead bird. I know you've probably seen them before but you're always so gracious. 😂 I don't know how I got so caught up in a character whose media I haven't even consumed. It is definitely your fault somehow but I'm not complaining.

I will take a moment to gush about how much I love your writing. Hook or Crook is one of my favorite series ever. I'm sure I've told you before but I just love how in love those two are. Okay, maybe "obsessed" it the correct word but you make obsession feel so sweet! They're meant to be and I can feel it in every word.

Truly saddened that our friendship must end in a terrible battle but I'm enjoying every second until then.❤️❤️❤️

Hi, and happy Yuletide, holidays and/or the end of the year! I'm once again wandering from askbox to askbox, asking questions from my fellow Good Omens fanfic writers.

How was your writing year? What's the favourite story you wrote? Yes, YOUR favourite of YOUR work! Feel free to gush about your creations, I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!

I wish you all the comments and kudos, and an exceptional new year! 🧡 Mirjam

My writing year has been great! I think we all suffered some shock from Season 2 of Good Omens, but it also spurred a lot of creativity. I was able to participate in a couple of events and a handful of zines, which is what makes this fandom my absolute favorite. It's always so active.

I also wrote two long fics, one of which has been posted and another that is in its editing stages and will begin posting next year. My goal is always to do NaNoWriMo, but I'm only successful at meeting that looming 50k goal a third of the time. Luckily, this year was one of those years!

Of the things I wrote this year, Fools Rush In was my favorite. It was the culmination of a long arc, and I had so much fun both writing it and sharing it with everyone!

Thank you for dropping this in my ask box. I hope you're also having a wonderful holiday season and that 2024 treats you well. Much love!

happy first birthday to Cariad, my postwar Remus x Tonks survive AU! 🥳

I wanted to finish this thing in a matter of months and then life got in the way. It's a year later and I'm still not done (but I'm so close to finishing!). So, in honor of Cariad's first birthday, let me tell you about it and gush about my blorbos.

I didn't plan on writing Cariad. I was almost done with Collide, my first fanfic, when a reader asked if there would be a sequel. I thought on it and decided to do it.

I had a LOT of fears going into writing Cariad. Unlike my time-traveling Tonks series, or the time traveling Teddy one, which had a pretty set structure with canon events for me to rely on, Cariad was a brand new endeavor. The central question that guided my plot:

If Remus and Tonks had lived, would they have stayed together?

and, what is the story about, when you strip everything else away?

What makes a life worth living and fighting for?

My quickest answer to the first question was always yes, but not without significant growth and challenges. They got married in wartime and didn't have much time together to be a 'normal' couple. When the big thing is taken away - the war - and the world is being reconstructed around them, what happens next?

The second question has a simple answer: love. Love is worth living and fighting for, including love of self, love of other, and love of community. Cariad addresses all of these things, told in three story "arcs," as I call them.

The first 25 chapters follow the immediate reconstruction of the wizarding world. Remus and Tonks are finding their place in this new society that isn't yet healed. There's grief, there's rebuilding, there's struggle. But most of this is centered on the world around them - how do we rebuild after the war? How do we create a society that's friendly to a family with a lycanthrope? There's love of community here - Remus and Tonks spent all these years fighting for their beliefs in improving the world around them, and now it's here. But it's not easy. Post-war reconstruction is messy and hard. Remus experiences so many disappointments, job setbacks, and Tonks is naive enough to think it'll get better more quickly. She learns that's not how it works, and she's inundated with work and her own ideals. By the time we get to the early 2000s, three years after the war is over, things are better, and their family expands.

The second 25 chapters, the second 'arc' of the story, centers on love of the other. When Remus and Tonks's daughter, Hope, is born, she's born with lycanthropic traits. Not a werewolf, but not 'healthy.' Remus's insecurities, coupled with Tonks's frustrations, lead to a painful separation. Their relationship has been focused on each other, yes, but so much of their energy has been put into the world around them and not necessarily the other. Hope's birth reveals these deep-seated problems that needed to be resolved, and so Remus and Tonks have to fight for their relationship. They had to fight to hold onto each other because committed relationships like this are both hard work and serious play. It was really hard to write some of these chapters, but ultimately, it was very gratifying to put them back together stronger than before.

The last 25 chapters, the third 'arc' of the story, centers on the family, especially the oldest children, Teddy and Hope. Here we're getting into the lesson of loving yourself. Teddy's the eldest and has experienced more prejudice, as a result of being around when the world was not as kind to Remus. His sense of self-worth is tied up in his ability to be a good brother, a good student, and a perfect son. He'll need to learn that he's good because he's Teddy, not because he perfects a role. Hope, having what I'm framing as a chronic illness, has a chip on her shoulder. She wants to prove she's just as good as Teddy and her famous parents, and she'll need to learn she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. In this third part, we'll see Remus and Tonks settling into parenthood, making mistakes, but the spotlight will go to Teddy and Hope, as they come of age and come to terms with who they are.

At the end of the day, these are the three major plot points of Cariad. Fight for the world around you, so you can make it a better place. Fight for those you love, so you can play and work to build a life together. Fight for yourself, so you can be happy with who you are, as you are, because you're worth it.

It's been hard work to produce this fic, as creating plot points has been a lot of original work. Nevertheless, I've enjoyed writing it, and for those who have read it, I hope you've enjoyed being along with me for the journey.

[nessie665]

hellooo it’s me again!! i just finished rereading home for the millionth time today and i wanted to gush about it again. it really is my fav fanfic of all time and im eternally grateful to u for writing it💟💟💟

Hi, Meow! I'm always so happy to read your sweet worlds <3

I was taking a bit of a break from social media just because it didn't feel right to be posting content as usual because of the current genocide of the Palestine people, along with some other world events that made me really sad. So, all this time I spend it mostly spreading awareness on my personal twitter

However, I'm ready to come back to Tumblr, so I will be sharing pro-Palestine content along with my normal content

Thank you so much, your love of Home is something that has its own special place in my heart.

Right I'm working on a one-shot maybe two-shot, that's more canon aligned, being set the day after the bistro. One of the main reasons I'm writing it was because I thought it may be of your liking, having more similarities with the home canon <3

it's even more Christine-centric than home was, and it has a more.. Spicy approach, which it's one of the reasons that's holding me back a little because I want it to be perfect and correctly characterized.

Thank you so much again for your support, and I hope we keep seeing each other in our home pages <3

[niuniente]

on the whole kudos/comment thing. I'm an artist and I havn't posted art on instagram in 2 years, that is both og art and fanart. its not worth the 2 mins of my time to post after only to get 10ish odd likes from mostly people ik irl when I can just send it off to my friends and get wayyyyyy more personal and happy responses. yes creatives are not entitled to engament but don't be surprised when they disappear

if its not worth your time to comment then its not worth THEIR time to post.

I'll admit im a hypocrite saying this as I don't comment all the time (mixture of no internet when reading and good old mental illness leaving me with blank brain fog) but I stil try. its not a matter of which is good enough or conveince but if its a good day for me. speaking of trying while I'm here I freaking love dhd, started following from she ra but I love your orginal stuff and you're so sweet. <3

I hope people stop being rude in your ask box

Yes, I hear this a lot. Also, it seems people are willing to discuss about things with their friends or fandom fellow groups but not give the same comments to the person who created that thing. I have a personal experience of this.

Years and years ago, I used to write fanfic with an url no one knew about. It was my secret little account. I was a part of a fandom group for the said fandom I was writing these fics about. The group was lovely and active, and they openly loved to discuss about fanfics and fanart.

Whenever I wrote a fic and posted it, the very same day someone within the group noted the whole group about it. Those who wanted to read the fic went to read it, and then they eagerly discussed about the fic with each other; what did they like about it, what thoughts they had, if they had any metas or ideas of what would happen in the next chapter, how the fic had made them feel like and what was their favorite part of each chapter.

I followed these conversations without anyone knowing they were talking about my fic. It made me happy to see that what I had written was well received, and people waited for more!

Did any of these people leave me a comment on the said fic they were gushing about? No.

So, the lurker me knew that my fic was well received and liked, but the author me didn't know, because no one said anything. All the conversation was held in a private place among readers but the author was not included in it.

It would have been really easy for any of these fans of the fic just copy the same thing they had said in the private group and post it to the author me under the fic. Very easy support and a very easy way to let the author-me know that yes, this is what we wish to get more! I only know this because I was lurking in the fan group and saw these conversations.

Another experience I've got and it still keeps happening is that if I join a Discord group or any event group, there are always people who know me due FUZZY. They say that they read the comic and loved it. I have no idea just how many people actually read FUZZY, know it and liked it, because the majority seem to be lurkers who I encounter at random like this :D It's always a surprise when it happens, a happy one mind you! I don't know how many readers and fans FUZZY actually had but I think no one can really ever know the full scale of their fans and influence.

I've got IG which mainly operates now as an art gallery for those who wish to see just my art (excluding long comic updates due image limit). Engagement is small in IG and Twitter, where things are fresh for 20 second and then they are forgotten - albeit IG's positive side compared to Twitter is a better search system where you can go through old posts and like & comment them (no, it's not creepy, why the hell giving support for someone would be creepy when we talk about supporting fandom people).

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!

tagged by @dudeyuri , meme created by @fiercynn -- thank you both, this was fun!

note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc. please include this note with the meme unless you have a different definition!

name and whatever you want to share about yourself

i'm em. i'm a lurker and a fic writer. i've been in many fandoms over the years, and my main hobby is consuming and creating queer love stories.

when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?

i watched the first two or three episodes in late 2022 and the rest in early january 2023. i binged episodes 9-12 in a single night and was a complete mess afterwards. i was just completely overcome with emotion because i loved it so much and no other show had made me feel like that in years.

at first, i didn't participate in the fandom that much, only reblogging a gifset here and there and gushing about it in the tags. i became more active when the our skyy 2 episodes came out. it was so much fun to watch them in real time with the rest of the fandom!

favorite ship(s)

patpran!

favorite character(s)

i'm fond of pran because i see quite a lot of myself in him, so if i could only pick one, i would pick him. i love pat too, they both are some of my favorite fictional characters.

favorite episode(s)

my favorite episode is episode 11. i also really like episodes 7, 5 and 3.

favorite scene(s)

my favorite scene is from episode 11. it's the one where pran brings pat the shirt and pat tells pran how much he appreciates him. i find that scene so sweet and touching. the first time i watched it, i was literally wiping away tears at the exact same time as pran.

other than that... there are so many of them that i don't even know where to begin. every single episode contains at least one scene i love. i really like the late-night conversation on the beach in episode 11. some others i am particularly fond of are the sleepover scene in episode 4 and the fight and the rooftop kiss in episode 5.

one thing you would change about the show if you could

like many others, i didn't like how wai outing pat and pran was handled. other than that, i would probably make episodes 1 and 2 a little less about antagonistic friend groups and spend more time establishing pat and pran individually as characters. i found it a little difficult to get into the story at first because we are introduced to so many characters right off the bat. it didn't help that bad buddy was my first gmmtv show and i didn't know any of the actors and hadn't seen the trailers etc.

what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people? 

i don't have any specific fanworks in mind, but i have really enjoyed reading the meta other fans have posted here on tumblr. many people have pointed out things i didn't even notice at first--my mind has been blown so many times and then i fall in love with the show even more. i really appreciate all the meta!

(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?

i haven't made any fanworks yet but i'm working on a patpran fic right now and hope to post it on ao3 at some point in the fall.

idk anything else you want us to know?

i'm so glad i found this show. i love bad buddy and i'm always happy to talk about it with others.

i tag anyone who sees this and wants to do it!

[herefortarlos]

Hello!

I love seeing your excitement around the fandom and a special thanks for all the support you give me in the tags! I was what made you start watching lone star? What made you keep watching lone star? What’s your favorite part of fandom?

Awwww, hello, Jen!! Haha, I am very happy to know that you enjoy my fangirling and hopefully don't find it annoying 😆.

So what clued me into 911 Lone Star, was seeing random clips from the show when I would be bored and scroll through FB and Instragram's videos section. The scenes that I remember the best are of course the racist neighbor and "Sure ma'am but I am a homosexual." And Paul's, "but I am trans, though." And then the corn silo scene and Marjan popping up and having lost her hijab, and everyone gathering around to protect her modesty. I loved knowing there was a show out there that had, from the brief bits I saw, canon gay, trans and Muslim characters!! Then I bought Hulu in late 2022, specifically to watch the movie Julie and Julia, then I watched all of Modern Family. And then I was like, well, I still have this service for the end of the month, and I saw Lone Star was on it and I have not looked back 😂 I wish Hulu kept track of it, because I don't know how I consumed 3 seasons of Lone Star so quickly while also working.

Tarlos and TK, then later Carlos, when we finally got more of him in season 2, were big reasons I kept watching. I also genuinely like all of the characters! I did not think I would love Judd as much as I did, big, stereotypical Texas man, but is not like you thought at all! Owen and TK's relationship is one of my favorite things too, such a loving father-son relationship, without the toxic masculinity is so refreshing! Getting Tommy in season 2 was such a big improvement too!!

I could go on and on about the characters, but another huge reason I fell in love with the show was because it actually had a trans black man, played by a trans male actor, a gay Latino man, played by a gay actor, and of course the fandom didn't find out about Ronen until 2021, but I learned watching in 2022, was a gay man, played by a bisexual actor!! Representation matters and as a queer person, I was so happy to see a show actually put in the effort to try and cast accordingly!! Even now, when I try to get friends to watch the show, I always start by gushing about tarlos, of course, and then secondly talk about the casting!

Finally, my FAVORITE part of the fandom has to be all of our amazingly talented writers and the stories they provide to keep Tarlos alive, interesting and relevant, especially during longer than expected hiatuses. I have been reading fanfic for various fandoms since 2012? And I appreciate all the work and effort writers put in to provide us fans with more content, without expecting anything in return, so the least I can do is comment on fics and reblog works here with my unhinged tags 😂

Also, I really appreciate how active the fandom is on Tumblr and I loveee saving and liking posts, specifically based on different people's tags 😆 As my name suggests, I made a new Tumblr for Tarlos in January 2023 I believe, so very recent. The last time I was on Tumblr was 2019, after it quickly declined in popularity, and all the previous artists and writers I followed left for Twitter. The fact that I fell in love with a show and couple enough to seek out a community for it definitely says a lot about it! When I fall in love with characters or a couple, I will hyper fixate on them for a minimum of 2 years, and hopefully this obsession lasts longer because of this active fandom and the fact that Lone Star is still ongoing and providing new material, as soon as these dumb companies decide to actually pay their workers a decent living wage anyway.

Phew, time to go find some lunch 😂 Thank you for the ask, Jen, and if you ever need a beta I'm your girl ❤️ But regardless, you can definitely expect me to reblog and express my love for the next fic you tease! I am not going to survive when Meet you After Dark drops!

Hey!! I hope you're having a good day/night.

This is going to sound really funny but I just realized I know you from wattpad!! From a long time ago, when the site was still my main one and then I moved to tumblr and ao3 and found you here too but I just realized you're the same person!

I'm so sorry it's just too funny for my right now.

I absolutely adore all your fics, I don't know how to live without them. The one you have ongoing with Raph being kidnapped it's too good and all your drabbles here are just amazing.

Do you think we can become friends ? I just admire you so much!

(P.S. I absolutely love the game you're starting!)

Alright. I’ve reread this five consecutive times already. Should probably share now…

HIYA! That’s so awesome. I love stalking authors and artists, so it’s not often I stumble upon them accidentally. 🤣

It’s absolutely crazy that there’s someone out there that can honestly make a sincere comment like “I don’t know how to live without your fics” and I’m just, Yes, you absolutely do, you did it for years before you even knew I existed wtshell???

It’s so cool to just be existing and someone pops up like: I’VE READ YOUR STUFF AND IT’S GREAT

Then I’m always FLOORED bc my silly brain forgets how much impact fanfic stuff can have on a person. People like me who go coasting for stories and find one that fits our specific needs and then just gush over it because I never knew how much I needed this author’s perspective of the boys in my life. 💞💞

My stories are the kinda stuff I would be thrilled to stumble upon, which is exactly why I write it. Especially Leo&Donnie content! There’s not nearly enough of them in canon or fanworks or fanart- DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND PLATONIC LEO AND DONNIE FANART???

…I got derailed by my own mind. So. Um. I was making a point about writing-

Oh, yeah, I basically live to make sure that if there’s another soul out there who feels there are gaps in certain areas of content- I will be there to help fill it! Especially recently, everything surrounding 2012Donnie is either content that is far from platonic, or isn’t hurt/fluffy in the ways my heart desires.

I am starving and must fill my own needs. Always happy to do the same with the others I stumble across!

Does It Almost Feel Like Nothing Change At All? is my first try at a plot-centered, but still traumtic fanfic. I love those kinds of stories and I figured it’s time I give it a try.

Plus, Raph is in a similar boat to Donnie. He just doesn’t get enough attention in the instances that I crave. Everything lately is about his ‘secret depression’ or his love life, or so it feels to me.

SO I FIXED IT!

This fic will include a little bit of everything so that his pain can be deeply and horrifically scarring. Because he’s such a good boi <3

Not sure if you’ve found it yet, but I have an A03 with more content that’s not available on Wattpad. Link

Sure! I practically consider everyone who interacts with me often on Tumblr or leaves consistent comments on A03 to be a friend on some level.

As long as you’re able to tolerate long rants about turtles, an unhealthy obsession with the underrated bond between the cool colored bros, and someone who just doesn’t know how to stop writing- then welcome to a friendship that will never stray beyond the realm of turtles until we meet in person!

You’ve already been around for quite some time! Who am I to dismiss a 2012 turtlefan with obviously awesome taste in content?

[mello-when-hi]

Happy Valentine's Day!

I've been gone for a while because I ran out of ideas for questions, but I wanted to say hi again and encourage everyone to spread some love in the fandom, as always. This is your invitation to gush about a friend, a fanart or fanfic you love, a content creator or a particular video/post/stream.

I love you <3

Hi 🐝 anon!!

Alright, starting off with Some of my top tier favorite fics we have

What a childish thing by@/ tippysnores

Pack up your car (put a hand on your heart) by @/ prettygnf

find me in the cosmos by @/ gatzbright

an inquiry into ceilings and how they fall by @/findinghomes

all of them are so so good and irrevocably changed me as a person so give'm a read!!!!

but anyways I'm going to take this opportunity to gush about how creative our fandom is because ?!?!?!?!!?!? this is such a genuine collection of people driven to creating something out of the love *they* feel. There's so many skilled artists that have their unique styles and colors and no matter of the complexity of the piece you can tell it was something created from a place of passion. I know that being in this particular fandom isn't always a smooth road but hey isn't that what community is for? We're here on this sight swapping stories and ideas and creations and passing along the passion that this fandom has fostered, and I think that that love is worth celebrating!! :D

[ask-the-almighty-google]

hi!! for your most recent ask game: 2, 3, 7, 9, 18.

and for 19: i adore and regularly go back through your vignettes series, i can't pick out just one because they're all so good- however, boquets for a cricket match does have a special place in my brain. and for sotw i love how well you portray both of them as vulnerable and strong in ways that sometimes mesh very well and sometimes don't, in ways that are problems to be solved and in ways that are difficulties to be adapted to. it's amazing!!!

2.) What fanfic do you wish you got more response on?

I'm gonna have to say that I’m pretty happy with the engagement level on all my fics? I write for myself, so whether or not other people like it is their business, and I’m just happy to share it and have what little engagement it may garner but I don’t write something wondering how many Kudos and Comments it will get. I’m always content with the numbers.

3.) What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet?

Glad you asked! I have a fic called The Dawn, the Dusk, And The Grey which I’ve only just begun laying groundwork for. It’s a rewrite of the events in the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic using all eight of my main story characters that I created for the different story lines, and eventually brings them together in the game’s DLC to fight evil.

7.) What’s a trope you love to write?

Oh God. Um... Found Family. I thought about all the different fics I’ve written, and at their core Found Family is the most often used.

9.) What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

It's so HARDDDDDD. I think the wedding scene in Something of the Wolf is my all-time favorite however. I loved writing that scene so much.

18.) Recommend someone else fic! (And tag them if they have a tumblr!)

Okay, this one is actually really easy for me. It's In Knowledge, Power by @your-local-birb. We bonded over gushing about our respective fics to one another three years ago and are pretty good lore buddies now.

Thanks for the lovely comment on #19 of the ask game, and thank you for the ask!

🏅⏰👨‍👧‍👦 for the fanfic asks

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).

I finished Ch. 14 of Dust to Dust last night and that was huge. I mean, I know I say that every time I update that fic, but it's always true. It was also pretty big for me that I set myself a deadline and I kept to it! Was it out of spite for 5 years since ASM #800? Yes. Was it also out of extra spiteful spite for what we all know is going to happen in tomorrow's ASM? Yes. But that's not the point. I did it! And I reached a HUGE milestone! A scene - nay, two scenes I'd been struggling with not knowing how to approach them for literal years! Of course, couldn't have done it without Ama, but it is a joint effort LOL

⏰ Do you spend more time reading fic, writing fic, or do you do both equally?

Nowadays I write more fic than I read, I'm pretty sure. I dunno, I guess there's just not a lot out there that I'm curious about picking up? There are a few fics that, if they update, I will absolutely stuff them into my FACE I am eating them but for the most part I just haven't been interested in reading if they don't scratch a very particular itch for me at whatever point in time. (I say like I didn't read Redline like... five times over... and I'll probably read it again lmao)

👨‍👧‍👧 Do you tell people in real life that you write fic? 

Not really. A few of my close friends know, but when I was in middle school and high school all my friends knew about my Pokémon fics and would hit me up after updates to gush about them together. As I've gotten older, it's not so much that I feel embarrassed about it, so much as I have a somewhat carefully cultivated professional image I try to maintain. My coworkers and even my boss know I love comics and nerd stuff, obviously my family and friends know that too, but when they ask, "do you still write?" I say, "yeah," and usually leave it at some vague "I like to write sci-fi still, a little bit of romance" answer and that's satisfactory to everyone.

My gf was reading Dust to Dust but like, I'm not gonna bug her about it. 😂 I'm just happy she's still reading my comics, hehe.
