[campbyler]

THEA!!!

they r so boyfriends! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it should be illegal to read acswy while being single CAUSE I WANT TO BITE SOMEBODY SO BAD. so im gonna bite u guys. as a revenge for my poor heart. sorry.

first of all will with tote bag!!! mike with long sleeves and shorts!!! yes!! their fits r literally so perfect. i just have to say it.

the fact that will didn’t even bring his car key with him. he doesn’t hate mustang as much as he pretends 😭 and he definitely changed his mind after mikes explanation. can’t wait till will break his stupid rule and they’ll make out senselessly in it.

i got mikes reasoning for buying that car (and ted is an asshole in every universe. sorry that it happened to u thea) but he could choose less pretentious one 🙄 sorry i have a with aversion towards expensive cars. their drivers always think that they better than traffic regulations. anyway.

manual transmission is a crime against humanity and im glad that i never have to use it again. it wasn’t that bad on the road and changing gears doesn’t take much time but traffic lights became my arch enemies cause i always managed to stall on them 😭 i hope ur lessons were better btw. i feel that will will shake like chihuahua😭 plus it like one extra leg on the clutch and i have no idea how to not forget about it if u only drive automatic.

their not-date date cause they definitely aren’t dating they’re barely friends who love kiss each other on the mouth and hold hands and spend time together and tell each other their deepest secrets.

the things i felt when mike dropped wills hand in the car. i Know it was was a reason. and he totally recovered himself by holding wills pinky the entire way to the mall. i know their pinkies Hurt cause where’s no other way.

when they’ll find out that smooches at the center of the cafe is not really platonic. isn’t really platonic with kissing if we’re judging be their standards. The Kiss in the changing room though…. they literally obsessed with each other i can believe guys used to pretend they enemies 😭

someone brought up dwoht on relation to the thrift store and i can’t stop thinking about it

“u (authors) said there was nothing in the world that could stop it

i (i) had a bad feeling”

i loveeee noticing how their humor changed. will doesn’t want to hurt mike anymore he wants to laugh with him instead 💔 and he thinks mikes password is cute and loserish (it is) but he charmed by it omgggg!!!

im so glad that i spent this year with u guys (im finishing my comment in 2024!!!! happy new year!!!) and im excited to follow the story next year too. days if the updates became my favorite and brought me so much joy!!

thea, suni and andi thank u so much for ur talent and passion!! ily!! happy new year 🎉🎄🥳🎊🤶❄️

ALYAAAA i am SO sorry that i am the worst and it takes me forever to answer things but just know i have been holding this ask so close to my chest for the past million weeks bc it is so special to meeee 💗💗💗💗💗

i will accept the biting bc i am also biting someone. it is hard to WRITE it while being single wtf. every time i write a kiss scene i'm like gd who wants to kiss me..............i am here and kissless...........

that and also i think he was so eepy he didn't even Think abt bringing his keys but also lbr he knew mike was going to insist on driving lol. mike fr could have chosen a less pretentious car But i think mustangs are universally cool cars for sure and i think it's very important to mike to have a cool car so even tho it's not necessarily something he would have picked out himself i do also think that he loves it. a little bit. (<- a lot bit)

i've ended up not actually learning how to drive a manual bc me and my sister have both been busy so all of my knowledge for the next chapter is going to be thru research and osmosis so pls call me out if anything is incorrect 😭

sometimes you have to kiss your friends on the mouth!!!!! and go on a not-date date w them!!!!!!!!!! that is so totally normal!!!!!!!!!!!!! their pinkies definitely hurt so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are obsessed w each other fr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dwoht is not on the ch9.2 playlist but it is for suuuuure very will-coded for this stretch of the story if you even care.

we are so glad WEEE spent this year w YOUUU alya ty for supporting us and always leaving the sweetest most thoughtful comments 💗 i hope tht ch9.2 is everything you've ever dreamed of!!!!

Okay so weird question, do you have any Will and El headcannons like 'siblings' wise? Because I just really like they're dynamic and I'm curious to what you think

do i have willel sibling headcanons. DO I HAVE WILLEL SIBLING HEADCANONS.

oh yes i do.

i will be referring to them as the twins btw because that is them. the twins. i love them so much. i love the twins. they are. my everything.

i think the two of them have their own secret language kind of? like how toddlers often figure out how to communicate with each other without using actual words. so i think the two of them have little hand signals and looks that they’ll give each other and know EXACTLY what they mean. i think they also have these sentences that seem totally normal to the outside listener but to each other they have hidden meanings. things like “what’s for dinner” mean “i want to leave”, stuff like that. and i think everyone kind of knows that they have this little language but they don’t even attempt to decipher it.

(this secret language drives hopper CRAZY btw)

the twins pretty much never argue. not in a toxic “stuff is unsaid” way, but in a “we just don’t have anything to argue about, our communication is very good” way

when the twins are first getting to know each other, they find out that they have a SHIT ton in common that they never even realized. they like the same foods, music, movies, games, etc. but they also have a healthy amount of differences!

we all know that will is really good at art, and when el learns this, she decides that she wants to find something that she’s good at too. so the twins go on a mission to try out a bunch of different hobbies to find something that el both loves and is good at! and it turns out that she’s amazing at chess and also has quite the green thumb

el and will start a small herb garden together when they realize how good she is at taking care of plants <3

also. dustin cannot believe how amazing el is at chess and gets lowkey jealous and trains himself up to try and beat her (just like mike trains himself to beat max at dig dug), but she’s still better than him lmao

the twins’ favorite disney movie is tangled and they sing every song as loudly as humanly possible when they watch it

which is at least once a week btw

when will passes his clothes on to el, the two of them decide to try and upcycle them and spice them up to make them more her style

they do that thing that max and el do at scoops ahoy where they’ll get food, have like half of it, and then switch with each other

they build a remote control helicopter together. just for funzies

el starts playing softball at school and is REALLY good at it, and she teaches will how to catch and hit pretty accurately

both el and will are pretty prone to nightmares, and when they get them, they go to the other’s room for comfort

if el has nightmares, will stays up reading to her, and if will has nightmares, el plays uno with him while telling him about her day

the books will reads to her are those fairy short chapter books, the “rainbow magic” fairy series? she loves them and these short chapter books actually help her learn to read and understand grammar a lot better

they have a joint birthday party every year (the twins had this idea mutually, they LOVE celebrating together)

thank you SO much for this ask, i loved writing this!! send me more asks for headcanons guys :)

[agustdiv1ne]

i want to get into writing but have a hard time feeling inspired. i have so many good ideas in theory but have such a hard time finding the write words to use.

i guess what i am asking is how do you create the atmosphere of your fics. every time i read one of your stories i am completely immersed and am left wanting more. what inspires you to keep going?

omg hello!! first off, thank you! <3 idk if i'm the most qualified person to answer this question, but i will try my best to :') (everything under the cut bc this got a little long)

please remember that these are the things that work for me. the writing process itself is super holistic, so what works for me may not work for you,, let's get into it !

personally, writing involves a lot of trial and error. trying stuff out, seeing what resonates with me, implementing those elements into my writing...rinse and repeat, basically. sometimes, finding the words i want to use is hard; i've been stuck in ruts where i'm only able to jot down a phrase or two. at the same time, that's something to be proud of because hey, you created something! creating anything in the first place is big!! having ideas is big!!! it's good to have some grace for yourself as you write. roadblocks may arise, but try not to get discouraged by them. they're very real and normal

outlining an idea is a great way to get started. there's no pressure to write anything outstanding, so this generally helps me just get everything i want to write down on a page. from there, i may flesh out more parts of the story that i'm excited about. the "right" words don't need to come out at this time. for example, here's an excerpt of my outline for ticket to nowhere:

as you can see, it's extremely far from perfect (it's...really bad, actually), but it was a good start! my outlines are always informal as that is what flows the easiest

talking to someone about my ideas also helps get me motivated to write them. my dms are always open to anyone who would find that helpful!

as i write, i often search around for words that may lend itself well to the Vibes™. onelook thesaurus is great. it can help you find words that relate to others, as well as words that are on the tip of your tongue but can't seem to remember. a general thesaurus has also helped me out a bunch because i like using fancy words for absolutely no reason

in all honesty, the atmospheres of my fics often stem from my media consumption...music is a huge source of inspiration for me, as are books, tv shows, and movies. i often find that books help me try out new writing styles and play around with my voice. for example, after i read bunny by mona awad (insane book btw, totally recommend), i tried including a lot of imagery in ticket to nowhere !! in terms of music, i like to make playlists and listen to it while i write ^^ it helps me get into the zone for sure

the fact that i get to share my ideas and not keep them locked away in the dark basement of my google drive is probably my biggest motivator!! i'm creating things!!! i get to share them!!!! art is wonderful!!!!! it doesn't matter if it's a short drabble or a 100k word multi-chapter fic, every piece of writing that you create is something to be proud of :) it's also important to note that i have taken longgg breaks from writing throughout my time on this blog (like. upwards of six months at a time throughout 2021-22), so stepping away from an idea, even if it is for a few minutes, a few hours, a few months, etc., may help in regrouping and finding inspiration again !!

i think this is kind of a mess, but i hope it helps,,, i'm always here if you need any advice ^^

[sauntering-down]

twenty years ago, i wrote a Star Wars fic.

two years ago, i opened the document for the first time since junior high and liveblogged the reread for Mary.

tonight... you get to experience the experience. savor it. firefox crashed twice while i was compiling this post, so cursed is the tale...

someday, Mary, i will tell you about the cringiest thing i've ever written. it's completely ripped off of a Boba Fett novel released right after AotC, there are song lyrics repurposed as a poem, iirc there's a literal Plot Device that gets completely forgotten about until i realized i was at the end of the story… anyway, i just have to read it myself first, because i literally haven't opened that document in fifteen years. it's that bad. i printed it out and brought it to my grandparents' cabin upstate and made everyone in my family read it. i physically cannot let you read the entire thing, but when i finally get up the courage, i'll liveblog it for you

it's so bad, Mary. it's so bad. the ship in the story is literally the Slave I with (i think???) a different name. i distinctly remember looking up the actual type of ship in one of my brother's many Star Wars guides

it's FANTASTIC and just the vague memory is so awful i seriously haven't touched it since i was like, 13

i don't remember very much of the plot except the kid trying to get his ship back, because i'm pretty sure that's what happened in the Boba Fett novel lmao

there's supposed to be something about a mysterious crystal, but after like one chapter i forgot about it until remembering at the very end and just having this kid find it in a ship. like… imagine opening your glove compartment one afternoon and finding the fucking Hope Diamond in there. that's pretty much what happens

the last true island of cringe on my hard drive must be conquered

should've bought myself a neck brace in case i cringe so hard my head retracts into my torso

me: alright before i even open the document, i should tell you it's called 'Cast My Soul to the Sea'. IF i recall correctly, it's a bastardized lyric from a Loreena McKennitt song Mary: This is going to be AMAZING

i'm not sure i ever heard this song. i took the title and the """"poem"""" in the story from the titles of a totally different Star Wars story i found online. i didn't read it, btw, i just liked the title

okay. gonna open the document. if i never reply again it's because god smote me

thank god it's not written in Comic Sans

okay. okay. up until this instant i didn't remember the protagonist's name but thought it started with a J… turns out his name is Zachary McCoy. a very Star Wars name there.

anywho, it starts off with a line from this """""""""poem"""""""", and Zach's sister Evelyn asking if that's all he's written. he claims "seventh form" is difficult, whatever that is.

their father is apparently coming home soon. he is, OF COURSE, a bounty hunter.

we timeskip to Tuesday when Dad gets home… okay, this family consists of Zachary, his two little sisters Evelyn and Clarissa, mom Rachel, and dad… Breon. BREON. i mean, at least i was TRYING to make something a little more Star Warsy, but it stands out badly compared to the much more normal names. i should've gone big or gone home. why not Zaqureehy???

…i just realized this entire story is SEVEN PAGES LONG. what the actual fuck, 13-year-old Alex???? you useless asshole.

moving on… Zach notices his father seems sad, but doesn't worry about it much

Zach overhears his parents talking quietly and conveniently catches a few super relevant words! we get our first mention of the 'Caman's Crystal'

so Breon needs a hand because he has to track a bounty on Yavin 4, but he also has to get help from "the couriers on Dell", whatever that means. apparently he needs to do these things at the same time… so he asks his kid. how old is this kid? fuck if i know.

and there ends chapter one. it was about 400 words. i'm deeply ashamed of myself

me: chapter two… Zach sees a cool ship, goes "oh neat, whose is that?" and apparently it's HIS now. this kid is like, twelve. Mary: I mean…expensive flex, Breon, but okay

he notes it's almost like the Slave I, although HOW he knows that i have no fucking idea, except it's smaller. i'm calling it the Slave II now.

it's actually called the Starlight 7, but.. nah

Zach finds it a little strange at first but ofc he's an INSTANT EXPERT at piloting and gets the hang of it instantly

Breon apparently just vanished into the ether, because Zach's in hyperspace now. he reads a book to pass the time… which apparently has detailed descriptions of both Yavin 4 AND Kamino. can you tell i was not very familiar with anything Star Wars besides the movies?

oh wait, apparently Breon's still there? okay then

Zach tells himself not to worry because his father's flying and Breon is, of course, Jango Fett with the serial number filed off there's a clone joke there

…what follows is a total rip-off of the AotC scene where Obi-Wan chases Jango and Boba through the asteroids near Geonosis, complete with some rando Jedi following Breon and Zach. except they escape by shooting a wall with a torpedo and then hiding so it looks like they crashed into the wall Rando Jedi is clearly dumb as shit, because he falls for it. why is he there? idfk

i hate myself for making my parents read this. they must've been so disappointed. i bet that was the exact moment they realized why i was kicked out of honors classes after 7th grade.

chapter three! within the space of 57 words, they land on Yavin 4, spend the night in a hotel (do they even HAVE those on Y4????), Breon tells his son where to go, and then Zach takes off on his own.

i WANT to say Breon randomly gets killed at some point off-screen, but i honestly don't remember. too bad i can't keep it that way submitting to the mortifying ordeal of knowing myself here

mmkay so he heads to Dell, which has 11 moons and apparently extremely strong gravity that pulls the ship in, though there's no actual mention of the effects this would have on a human hanging out there or anything. Zach can't find a landing pad and instead lands the ship in a small field near a city.

Zach says 'people' and means 'humans'. kid's fucking xenophobic.

i'm now really glad this is short because it's excruciating.

he inexplicably gets stopped by two bounty hunters who are looking for a kid around his age LOL he namedrops his dad to scare them off

Zach then wanders around like "okay Breon McCoy is well known and i'm his son, so nobody can use me as bounty, unless i AM a bounty" and my brain just short-circuited a little

me: chapter four! he has no idea where these 'couriers' who are supposed to be awaiting him are, or even WHO they are Mary: nice going, Breon, you didn't give your kid any information me: Breon didn't do a great job prepping him for this, but that's what 57 words gets you, i guess

so he goes back to the Slave II and OH NOES IT'S GONE!!!!!!

a Dellian girl named Amandia is hanging around. that seems suspicious as fuck, but she tells Zach that a guy named Buz might've taken the ship and it's probably on Dell 2.

me: what the FUCK is going on in this paragraph Mary: I'M SO CONFUSED??????? me: who's Perrier???

like. okay. so i guess Breon told Zach to find the couriers so they could help him find the crystal… and maybe Perrier is the bounty he's trying to find…?

usually i can puzzle out my own writing, but this one is… really something

fuck it, moving on. 'couriers' are Dellians light enough to… fly from the surface of Dell to the moons without a ship?? this makes NO sense but i'm pretty sure it was ripped off that Boba Fett novel, so i'm sure there was a better explanation somewhere

at this point i'm just going to assume Breon's trying to bump off his son for insurance money or something and he's in cahoots with these guys. Amandia helped steal the ship, obviously.

okay, chapter five! Zach and Amandia are on a cliff, waiting for the gravity to shift. the explanation has something to do with the moons. idk.

so they step off the cliff and fall a bit and then just… start gliding through space, rising and falling with the gravity changes. again, 100% stolen from that novel. they eventually land on the moon (no idea how they breathed this entire time), but lol it's the wrong moon

yeah, Amandia's suspicious as fuck.

they do, however, make it to the correct moon. apparently "daylight never comes" there, so i'm going to assume it's tidally locked and they're just on the dark side. this inexplicably gives Zach an idea for his """"""""""""""""""""""""poem"""""""""""""""""""""

they walk for a while until they see another Dellian about Amandia's age, whatever that is. his name is… Noah. they need to use his speeder to get across the moon because Buz has his ship. how do you know that, Amandia… Zach isn't NEARLY suspicious enough for this line of work. she's so obviously working with this Buz dude, kiddo.

chapter six!

Zach. honey. she flies around on weird gravity tides. this girl doesn't give a FUCK about a super-fast speeder; she's trying to get you killed or sold into slavery or something.

so they take off in Noah's speeder, which is extremely fast. Zach's cool with this because he likes upgrading his own speeders, asks if this thing goes any faster, which ofc it does.

oh hey! we finally find out Zach lives on Naboo.

Noah's been to Kamino, apparently. i don't know how i missed the very clear fact that it's an extremely isolated planet and gets very very very few visitors

they see the Slave II! but suddenly it takes off and heads for another moon!!!!! SUSPENSO.

literally two pages left. i can't believe i packed so much into seven pages and yet there's absolutely no detail, action, exposition, character development, or even much in the way of PLOT here.

side note, i just remembered a part in my dream where R2-D2 had kidnapped a person and kept them buried in a shallow grave… but they were still alive and i saw him dig them up. their entire head had been skinned and they were like, weakly crying out for help. it was extremely creepy and fucked up. then C-3PO showed up and R2 quickly buried them again before 3PO noticed. so i guess i subconsciously think R2-D2 is some kind of sadistic serial killer or something? idk, man. let's go back to the story.

so Noah decides they can follow the Slave II in his own father's ship, hilariously called the 'Superfly'. he says he's eleven years old, too… so Amandia's just a kid also? maybe Buz is her dad and he's getting her started in the crime business early. wait wait no! i was wrong! it's ZACH who's eleven. Noah is thirteen and he's annoyed he can't have his own ship

they're so busy chatting they don't notice a "small fighter" approaching until it fires at them

and then there are like… five fighters? who fight each other? and one of them is Noah's brother… idk

anyway, they manage to land on Dell 8 after that, though the ship is slightly damaged from the hit they took

Mary: Is this entire 7 page story literally just jumping from moon to moon? me: PRETTY MUCH

they see Zach's ship but can't follow in their own, so Noah grabs a conveniently located speeder and they're off again!

chapter eight… they switch so Zach can drive… they catch up to the Slave II and Buz, whoever he is, gets out… they run past him onto the ship and he takes the speeder and leaves. that's. um. anticlimactic doesn't seem to cover it.

they hear something rattling around in the ship, but WHATEVER, Zach stops on the other moon and Noah leaves and then… well… you need to witness this for yourself.

i wasn't joking about the glove compartment thing. it's like the only thing from this story i really remembered lmfao also check OUT that amazing writing there.

Mary: Space glove compartments are definitely a thing, they have a whole thing with them in the Jedi Prince books, so you're just in a long line of wonderful ship glove compartment writers Mary: that being said, WHY WOULD HE PUT THE SUPER RARE AND VALUABLE CRYSTAL IN A GLOVE COMPARTMENT

chapter nine, Zach goes to a "government building" on Yavin 4 and hands over the crystal to some random official, who asks what he's doing here

look, i don't even know what this crystal is, what it does, why it's so valuable and everyone wants it… i just don't know.

me: Zach says he's looking for his father Mary: And here's where we find out…that his father is DEAD (I assume)

and then… AND THEN…

THE END. except for the """"""""""""""""""""""poem"""""""""""""""""" which is like five lines, doesn't rhyme, makes no sense, and hopefully got an F.

Mary: BRILLIANT ENDING, 5 STARS

what was the crystal for? why did Buz steal Zach's ship, and why did he give it up so easily? does Zach ever go home? does the rest of his family even know Breon died? BEATS ME MAN

it's amazing. it's so bad. half the cringe comes from the inescapable knowledge that i made my family members read this. thank god i don't remember how they reacted

i bet Breon faked his death maybe he gave Zach the ship in hopes his secret lover Buz would bump him off in the process of stealing it. then they'd take the crystal, pawn it, and go off to start a new life together. Buz's daughter Amandia helps out and comes to live with them. Noah never gets his own ship. the end.

This chapter fed my obsession for all things supernatural. I ate this chapter up Sibi! (Mwah! 😘) I love it when you go off on the SA/MV lore. It's so enticing!

That totally explains why Yoongi knows so much about magic. He was a gd warlock before becoming a vampire. 🧙🏻‍♂️➡️🧛🏻‍♂️ I thought he just picked up the magic along the way after being alive for so long and being a creature of supernatural nature he could just harness magic, but this is a waaaaaay deeper plot point. His teacher cursed him and started this whole thing 🥺 what Yoongi and fellow warlocks did was bad, but damn. That's why you shouldn't mess with dark magic. You never know what you're ultimately going to end up with or end up losing.

I loved the part where Yoongi and Tae were talking about the spell to end vampirism and possibly becoming mortal. I'm glad Tae kind of knocked some sense into Yoongi, because IF this does work, then reader would only be okay with Yoongi using it if everyone in the family would agree to do it. It's either reader becomes a normal vampire or they ALL become mortal. There's going to be no in-between and Yoongi's going to have to understand that.

Also, I'm glad they got to talk things out without Jimin hovering over them. Now I just hope things stick. I do like the theory someone posted (sorry I can't remember if it was an anon or an actual username) that said Tae realizes that reader is better off with Yoongi and he sacrifices himself to save them all. I thought this was great, but at the same time heartbreaking.

Will we get to have a peek into Jungkook comforting reader? Tae said he left her with him and I would love to see some fluff between those two. 💗

I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU LOVED THE LORE SO MUCH HEHEHE THANK YOUU!!!

RIGHT?? It also explains why Yoongi was Meredith's (and the other good witches') teacher. Because he literally was present when magic was created LIKE OMFG 😩 btw this also means that Namjoon was a warlock too just fyi 👀👀👀👀

this :( but also omfg :( when Tae was so sad about the aspect of Yoongi dying FFAKDSFKA THEY ARE SO :( afjdsjf listen I'm sorry I know we all cursed at Tae until last chapter but gdi their bond is sofandfna btw I'm so excited to have that plotpoint deeper exploreD FADJFJ THAT IS ALL YOU GOTTA KNOW OOOH

Also pLEASE NO I DON'T WANT TAE TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF PLEASE MY BABBYYYY :(

Will we get to have a peek into Jungkook comforting reader? Tae said he left her with him and I would love to see some fluff between those two. 💗

The next chapter will be all about them (and him) comforting OC ohohooho major spoiler right here anyone who reads asks just got a big sneak peek ohoho

[thebahwrites]

hihi! hope you’re having a good day. i want to draw a scene from the last chapter of killshot, but i need to know how far off the ground and what’s holding hangman up so high (i’m guessing the debris and the beams but i want to get the full picture), thank you for such an amazing fic btw qwq

Oh my God, okay no I'm totally normal about this and not freaking out AT ALL!!! (I say very normally shaking about you wanting to make art for my beloved fanfic, please don't worry I just get very emotional and honored whenever anyone even mentions the idea of that...) but I'm ALL GOOD HOW ARE YOU LOVE?

But also, I'm about to get weird because.... for Reasons I may know more about mines than most people so let's go! (Descriptions and stuff under the cut?)

The idea for the place they're in it's a Mine Hall which is like... a pocket within the mountain/underground that is somewhere between 60 and 100 meters tall ground to ceiling (and apparently close to 60 to 100 yards as well, I don't know how the imperial system works so I'm sorry if that's the one you use), but there's irregular points, like, ones closer down and ones way up high.

Here's some ref pics just for an idea! [x] [x] [x] [x] And as for the lab refs/ideas, here's some? [x] [x] [x] [x]

Like, some of these are big enough that enormous ass WHOLE TRUCKS come in and out so you can imagine it more or less? The room they were in was one of those halls, repurposed for ~Nefarious Purposes~ and all, underground lab, etc, still a mine hall.

NOW AS FOR MY MIND EYE. It's hard for me because I have aphantasia so most I can do is describe in detail but basically: the beams coming from above is a thicker one (for structural support of whatever crashed down) and others auxiliary ones, now, how far above they are is at least a couple meters (7-ish feet?) but I'd say give or take 6 to 10 meters? (10 to 30 feet, boy, at this point I'm just trusting Google with these measurements) but honestly... artistic rendition allowed? I honest to God trust you with whatever ya deem looks best!

I think the most important piece of it is that there's just uhhh how do I put this, it's a pocket among the debris because the room hasn't collapsed entirely, ya!

sorry for the rant I hope this is what you asked? Please let me know if I can do more!

and THANK YOU FOR READING MY FIC ;;

[sassygirl579]

#7, 12, 16, and 17 for the writing ask game!!

Thanks for asking--I always enjoy these--and now I see where I can do polls! 😁

7. What is your deepest joy about writing?

Since I pretty much just write fanfic, exploring possibilities of characters I love in ways that canon doesn't, or can't--which is tied with figuring out 'aha' moments having to do with those characters!

12. If a genie offered you three writing wishes, what would they be? Btw if you wish for more wishes the genie turns all your current WIPs into Lorem Ipsum, I don’t make the rules

To be able to have more consistent writing focus at normal times of day (instead of late at night), to be able to finish a longfic (again, focus), and to be able to come up with some original material so I can write stuff to be published 😊

16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

It seems like I may have used a (clean) fork or spoon at some point when I got pulled away from a book?

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

There are a lot of things that are still mysteries--but here are a few things I can share:

-Din and Paz are adopted brothers, and their parents' marriage is the reason why Clan Wren is part of House Vizsla

-Tristan Wren is in the story, but goes by another name for reasons yet to be explained--and it's possible that he's not the only one 😉

-As far as history goes, a lot of it is based off my theories after Mando Season 1. Din was adopted into Paz's family after his birth parents were killed, and they were in actual Death Watch until Pre VIzsla's death (he was their uncle, but they both severely disliked him). After that, they went to Krownest, since their mom came from Clan Wren, and the only people who observed the helmet rule as we see in canon was a special ops group called the Fighting Corps, which Din joined after swearing the Creed at 13. Paz grew up to marry the Armorer, and they have 8 kids who are ridiculously fun to write, and they lived a normal, somewhat helmet-free life until after the Purge, when what became the Tribe adopted the same rule as the Fighting Corps--again for reasons not yet disclosed. Other Mandos, like Sabine and her parents, don't wear theirs all the time, even when they're with the Tribe (which they currently are)

-Din and Cara are in looooove, and admitted it last chapter--and even used a certain M word in regards to their future! 🥰

-Ezra and Sabine have been married for a few months, and he made the decision to swear the Creed a couple months later--so now the Armorer has made him some armor, and is totally cool with him removing his helmet because he's not under the same obligation as those in the Tribe. He also has a jetpack, so he can be a weapon 🤣

-The safe house where the Tribe is currently staying (around 75 of them survived Moff Gideon's attack on Nevarro) is owned by some canon SW siblings and their families--which I just figured out a couple of months ago! This is brand-new information that will be somewhat mentioned in my new chapter, so I'm good with sharing it!

🪩 🎤 🎧 !!

thanks for the ask mel!!! :D

I'm gonna talk about my book for this ask for context! It's a fantasy story following two generations of people pitted against each other in a magic prophecy. It shows how they interact with one another, etc etc. There's a lot to it and it's very complicated (and very hard to explain) but that's the very main idea! (It's called "The Moment Lost in Time" btw!!)

Would you want a movie adaption, TV, or something else? Animated or live action?

YES! I don't think live action would suit it too well unless it was very stylistic (maybe if it had the vibes of the Shadow and Bone show or the Sandman? Stuff in that realm). But I'd LOVE for it to be animated!! With how complex the story is, it would def have to be a tv show. But I can't tell how badly I'd love to see my little guys animated! If it was in a style like Arcane, I'd lose my mind I'd love it so much.

Describe the opening scene

MY OPENING CHAPTER IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF MY BOOK, HOW DID YOU KNOW??? So, basically it opens upon this fairly young girl, about 13-14ish, alone in the city. It hasn't rained for days, but she wears a large yellow raincoat, some rain boots, and holds a giant black umbrella. No one is on the street as she steps out of an alleyway, and into the vacant street. In the moment of darkness between dusk falling and the streetlights turning on, she opens her umbrella and points it to the sky. The umbrella looks fairly normal on the outside, but sown into the inside panels are paper-thin sheets of glass. And, this glass is the window to the sky of another world. This world's sky is made of countless colors, some of which the girl had never seen on earth. The girl, a nameless and solitary mystery to the world around her, looks up into this sky. As countless sensations of magic and emotion rush through her, the umbrella begins to glow. Soon, the glow begins to swallow her, and she begins to blur against the light, the line between her and her surroundings becoming incomprehensible. And soon, the glow reaches it's apex, and the glass above her shatters. As the glass and the umbrella fall, the girl has fully disappeared. The umbrella falls to the ground, it's owner having vanished into another world. For a moment, it sits, before the umbrella begins to fold in on itself, disappearing as well in just a matter of moments. Only the glass from the umbrella remains, and if you look at it with just the right angle, you can see the sky of the other world for just a moment. Then, the streetlights turn back on.

if you want to read the actual mini chapter, lmk! i can dm it to you on discord or something. It's basically the only part of my book I actually share with people lol.

What would the soundtrack be like?

hmmm this is hard. im gonna go the lazy way out and just link the very eclectic playlist I have for it on my spotify! I've been adding to this playlist for quite a while, but I think the most fitting songs, and the ones that would totally show up are:

Welly Boots - The Amazing Devil (which literally fits a part of my book basically word for word, its wild)

No Time to Die - Billie Ellish

When I was older - Billie Ellish

Youth - Daughter

Bloom - Paper Kites

What Could Have Been - Sting

The Place Where He Inserted the Blade - Black Country, New Road

Here's the link to the full thing!! Some bangers on here, ngl:

THANKS AGAIN MELODY!!! I love rambling about my book :DDDDD

[gisellelx]

i think you have a interesting appeal, because most of the fandom has like a 'i'm taking the wheel and i'm fuckin speeding' spproach to the novels where they're just having fun, and vinelle and carnivourousmuffin are at the other end where they are like 'i know this isnt the narrative you want to spin smeyer but its the narrative ur spinning and i'm taking it to the logical conclusion' where they take the novels as word of god but not the narrative, meanwhile you and panlight are like 'okay, this is what you implied and wanted to do, lets work within these confines but not fall into the pits you do.' which is nice. You're taking it seriously but you're not taking it to the depressing conclusions canon implies. Basically you're doing what Smeyer was trying to do.

That first line is in response to my comment here, which is from three months ago, so like...I'm bad at dealing with my inbox. I think I like to sit on asks that make me happy like I'm Smaug or something. Also seriously Fall 2021 semester ate me for lunch and I am am tired. But anyway I Smauged this one because YES exactly. Thank you. This is a very heartwarming and flattering comment.That's basically it. I got fascinated by Twilight because I saw a lot of writing holes. Like, you can ignore what's there on the page and go "this is racist crap; weird baby; controlling guy; I’m taking the parts I like and doing my own thing" and just dance off into AU land where none of those problematic elements exist. You can also look strictly at what's on the page and go, "These people are crazy and their world is fucked." Both totally valid ways of approaching this, btw—that kind of plurality is exactly what’s great about fanwork. But I find I like the in-between where you look at what's on the page, and go, "Okay. Let's imagine these are normal people, with normal motivations." And even though the author implied thing A, it's easy to recognize when thing A happened because she didn't think about any characters other than Edward and Bella as having agency or desires or histories of their own. It's also easy to recognize, once you understand the order the saga was written, where she didn't make point C match up with point D because she originally went from point A directly to point D. When you approach Twilight with an understanding that there's a heavy (and relatively unskilled) authorial hand here, and you try to lift that hand to get at the very interesting questions she left unanswered, you get a really interesting story with lots more interesting internal conflict. I was a writer long before I read Twilight, and remain somewhat unapologetically embarrassed about how much I enjoy thinking about it, given how badly I feel it is executed. But from the moment I first hit the chapter "Carlisle" in book 1, I have always seen more problems and more conflict and more interesting questions lurking right underneath the surface of what Meyer chose to write. So the series has always been interesting to me as a writing puzzle first, and as a vampire romance series a distant second. When you assume these side characters are people and interpret their backstories and actions as driving their behaviors in canon, you get some really interesting stuff. I wonder if someday I'll stop being fascinated by it--it is in no way my usual reading fare. But I first read them in 2008, and I'm not any less fascinated by this story now than I was then. I'm always happy to talk about those things, and I'll do my best not to Smaug for months on these asks that make me so happy.

heya! this is not an ask or brainrot, i am just your new follower :3 and i am actually not that new in tumblr but i've just made this account for me to simping my fav characters. this is tmi ig.

Hello! I'm kinda new to the whole tumblr thing so sorry if this request is bad but I was wondering if maybe you could do an imagine for spencer reid where the reader is Garcia's younger sister and Garcia brings her in to meet the team because it's her first day there. Maybe Reid recognizes her from somewhere and he will not leet it go until he finds out how he knows her? Btw it's totally fine if you don't get to this! :)

Spencer Reid x Reader ~ Piano

Summary: When a new agent joins the BAU, Spencer knows he’s seen them before but literally cannot figure out where. His memory having never failed him before, he doesn’t rest until he figures it out.

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Gender Neutral! Reader; Penelope Garcia x Sibling! Reader

Words: 1973

Warnings: A little bit of language, I think that’s all?

A/N: Hey anon!! First off, don’t worry, love! I’m honestly new to this whole tumblr thing too, but I loved this request! I’m sorry I didn’t get to it sooner, life’s been a bit hectic. I made it so the reader is Garcia’s younger sibling instead of sister, I hope you don’t mind. I’m going to try to make writing as gender neutral as possible moving forward. Nothing against you, of course, I know I haven’t specified in past requests and I couldn’t have expected you to know, so don’t worry! That being said, sorry for rambling and I hope you like it :)

(gif isn’t mine)

“Hello, everyone! I want you to meet the youngest of the wonderful Garcia children!” Penelope led you into the BAU where you waved a bit stiffly. You weren’t a huge fan of being the center of attention, but you knew your sister loved these introductions.

Looking around, you pieced together the people you knew from Penelope’s stories. You recognized Derek immediately. You assumed from his professional stance that the taller and older dark haired man was Hotch. Logically, that meant Rossi was next to him. And Emily and JJ were the two women, smiling and waving at you encouragingly. You smiled a bit broader, immediately sensing you would be fast friends with them. Finally, your eyes landed on what had to be Spencer. You thought he was quite attractive and, from Penelope’s descriptions, he was also amazing, talented, kind, smart, basically everything you liked. You waved at him but noticed he was almost studying you? You weren’t sure, but felt a bit awkward, confused as to why he seemed friendly to everyone else but wouldn’t even smile at you.

“Umm, hi!” You said, laughing nervously and kind of hoping to disappear. Hotch sensed your discomfort and offered you a kind smile before putting you out of your misery.

“Welcome to the team, L/N. Garcia’s told us wonderful things about you. That being said, we’re just closing up tonight, so you could finish up your paperwork finalizing your transfer into the BAU if you haven’t already and then come in for your first day tomorrow?”

“Okay, thank you, Sir.”

“Goodnight, team”

Everyone echoed the “Goodnight” before filing out of the room. You got into the car with your sister and pulled out of the BAU, reflecting on your past and thinking about the next chapter of your life.

After almost everyone else had left, Spencer was still at his desk, thinking. The certified genius, was, for once, completely at a loss. He couldn’t figure it out. Where had he seen you before? He was currently in the process of mapping out every place he’d gone to over the last few months. Every restaurant, every film festival, every face he saw in passing at crosswalks, through car windows, at coffee stands, and, still, nothing.

“Woah, Pretty Boy, slow down! What’s got you so riled up?” Derek says, walking over to where Spencer was hunched over his notebook, furiously writing.

“I can’t figure it out, I know we’ve met before or I’ve seen them before or something. I just,” Spencer put his head in his hands, eyes starting to burn a bit from the strain of writing and concentrating for so long, “I just know it”

“Seen who before?”

“Y/N, the new agent. They’re so familiar, but for some reason I just can’t figure it out”

“Ohh! Garcia’s their sister, right?”

Spencer nodded and Derek came behind him, seeing the messy timeline and pages of notes scattered around the agent.

“Are you sure you’ve seen them? I mean, we see lots of people on the job. You could have just seen someone who looked like them, you know? And come on, Reid, your memory is, like, insane . If you’d met, you’d have remembered”

“I know, that’s what’s got me so messed up.” Spencer sighed.

“Take a rest, kid. It’s late, get back to it tomorrow. Maybe they’ll visit you in your dreams…” Derek said, wiggling his eyebrows and laughing as he walked away.

Spencer laughed, hoping Derek was right. He’d do anything to get more time with you, even if it was in his subconscious. Honestly, he felt a bit bad. He’d been so caught up in figuring how he knew you that he’d kind of forgotten to actually talk to you. Normally, he’d have caught a new recruit before they left, but he didn’t get the chance with you. After packing up, Spencer went home and continued his search with you on the forefront of his mind.

Meanwhile, you had just gotten back to your sister’s apartment. You had your own place but you were new to the team and felt a bit lonely. Mentally, you didn’t want to be alone at home, too.

“Hey, Pen, what’s up with Reid?” You asked. You were confused, you knew he was quiet but he seemed to be actively ignoring you. Even stranger, you caught him intensely staring at you, as if he was trying to figure something out.

“He’s just shy, Y/N. But he’ll warm up to you, don’t worry! Honestly, I think the both of you would be a pretty good match. If you want, I can do some of my famous matchmaking!”

“Please, noooooo,” You groaned, dragging out the word.

“Come on! I’m great at it!”

“No! Remember last time? I ended up on a blind date with a guy who, within the first three minutes, told me he liked me because he saw similarities between me and his parents!! Then, he proceeded to detail their divorce for the next 45 minutes!”

Penelope was laughing hysterically, “I mean, you did say you liked emotionally available people!”

You grabbed a pillow and threw it at her head, dying in your own fit of laughter.

“Alright, that’s it, I’m going to bed. I can’t be conscious in the same house as you anymore” You say, smiling and jokingly flipping your sister off as you walk away and into the guest room.

Naturally, she returned the gesture.

When Spencer arrived at work the next morning, his eyes were bloodshot, hair was sticking up in a million different directions, and clothes were exceptionally disheveled. Anyone else and you would have thought they had a really bad (or great) one-night stand. Although you weren’t close with him, you just didn’t see him being that type of guy. You laughed a bit as he grimaced, taking a sip of what looked like extremely bitter coffee.

Deciding to try and break the ice, you went over to him. “Long night?”

Spencer’s head shot up. “Uh, yeah, I guess you could say that” He said, laughing a bit.

You smiled. Even though he was awkward, you felt at ease in his company. “I get that, I’ve had a few long nights myself. I love the job, don’t get me wrong, but the way the BAU runs is different from anything else I’ve ever dealt with.”

“Yeah. It can be a bit of an adjustment, but you’ll be fine. You’re doing great. I mean, you arrived early, so I can already assume you’re organized. And your desk is a little messy, leading me to believe you’re a creative person. Your handwriting is quite slanted, too. I recognized it from your entry forms. Did you know that’s a sign of high intelligence? Because your thoughts are moving so quickly, your hand can’t keep up in the “perfect” way, so the letters normally slant and become more sloppy.”

You were mesmerized by him. You could watch him talk for hours, truly. Sure, he wasn’t always graceful, but he was so passionate about everything he talked about. You loved listening to people talk about what they love. The way their eyes light up, it makes the energy surrounding them contagious.

Realizing he had just psychoanalyzed you without permission, Spencer looked at your sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to profile you. It’s sometimes hard to shut off, especially around new people.”

“I get that. It’s okay, I don’t mind.” You said, nodding knowingly.

As you said that, Spencer figured it out. He remembered one time visiting his mother in Vegas and hearing you say those exact words. You were playing the piano, talking to a patient who had just accidentally spilled some water on your sheet music as they took their medicine. “It’s okay, I don’t mind. I was in need of new music, anyway” You had responded, laughing. He was surprised he didn’t immediately recognize you, the beautiful and talented person he’d seen that day. But, it did make sense, in a way. Spencer’s memory is always at its highest and weakest when he’s with his mother. He can remember each of their conversations, verbatim, but everything else fades.

“Spencer? You alright?” He had been kind of spacing out for a few moments and you were afraid you did something wrong.

His attention came back to you and he smiled again, brighter this time. “You play piano.” He stated.

Your breath caught and you let out a small laugh, extremely confused. “Uhh, yeah, I do. I’m sure you’re great, but that seems extreme even for you, Mr. Profiler”

Spencer laughed. “No! I didn’t profile you, I just, I remember you. Las Vegas, March 12th, Psychiatric Hospital, you were playing piano. A patient spilled water on you. I remember you.”

“Oh, right! Ms. Owens! She’s lovely. You were there that day? Well, either that or you just gave yourself up as a damn good stalker”

“No, no, not that,” He said, a shy smile playing on his lips, “My mother’s a patient there, Diana Reid? I’m not sure if you know her.”

“Yeah! She’s quite a character. I always enjoyed playing on days Diana was there.” You reminisced for a second, lost in the memory.

“Were you visiting someone there, too?” He said, pulling you from your thoughts.

“Not exactly. My grandfather was a patient before he passed. He taught me how to play and I kind of just asked the staff if I could volunteer and continue to after he left. They were kind enough to let me. I mean, he always encouraged me to perform and I thought it was a nice way to honor his memory. A few months later I heard from Penelope that there was an opening at the BAU. I moved out, and, well, here I am.” You gestured to yourself, slightly embarrassed after you realized you might have overshared.

Spencer caught onto this, however, and quickly reassured you. “That’s amazing, Y/N. You were amazing when I heard you. I wish I could have heard you play again.”

“Thank you, that’s really sweet, Spencer.” You said, resting your hand atop his, a blush forming in his cheeks at the touch.

“Um, if you don’t have plans. I mean, not to assume you don’t have plans, just if you, you know, happen to not be busy, would you want to maybe get dinner sometime? You don’t have to, of course! I wouldn’t be offended! I just kind of want to get to know you more. If that’s alright with you.” He trailed off, not making eye contact and playing with the buttons on his shirt a bit as he awaited your answer.

Deciding to be bold, you gently turned his face to meet yours and smiled. “I would love to. Tomorrow, pick me up at 8:00?”

“Yeah! Here’s my number, text me your address?”

You smiled and nodded, taking his phone. He took the moment to just look at you. You were truly one of the most breathtaking people he’d ever met. He couldn’t believe he’d just gotten you to agree to go out with him. Even so, he wouldn’t question it. If something in the universe gave this to him, he wouldn’t risk it for a second.

You placed a gentle kiss on his cheek as you slipped the phone back into his hand. As you pulled away, Spencer cupped your cheek and pulled you back in for a kiss. His lips tasted sweet and soft and a sense of serenity washed over you as you stood in the middle of the BAU, kissing him. Everything faded away and quickly came into focus again as he pulled away, far too soon for your liking.

“More of that tomorrow” He whispered, his forehead resting against yours.

You smiled, “That’s fine by me.”

hello again lia! first of all, happy mothers' day!! you're not my mother (but i'm aware that you are one) but i normally like to take this day to tell the older women in my life how much i appreciate them. thank you for creating such a magnificent world for me and many others to enjoy. if my evol is inspiring you to write (this compliment made my day btw) then we must be very similar, because i'm sure your evol is inspiring me and others in not just writing, but life in general 💖 this might be reaching you a bit late, but i hope you had a wonderful day!

anyways, the advice you gave really helped a lot! especially the part with finding your own voice and working with it, i think that's the reason why i started writing in the first place. i've done stuff for english class in the past, but as you might know, school doesn't really encourage thinking outside the box and finding your own voice. which is kind of making the writing process difficult...but i'm slowly getting there! i wrote the first chapter and a half and i'm finally happy with where my story has started (i was struggling to figure out where i should start, since my story has lots of original lore).

alsoooo i want to ask you some interesting oc questions i found (directed towards andrea) >:3 1. what are your oc's best and worst qualities? what do they think are their best and worst qualities? 2. does their fashion sense reflect an aspect of their personality? (ie bright and colorful outfits symbolizing that they're an upbeat person) 3. what is their mbti type? 4. if they had a theme song, what would it be? (i specifically asked this one because i know how much music has influenced you to write this story, so im interested to see which song you pick) 5. what would your oc say is the happiest day of their life? ok, that's it! once again, thank you so much for being such an awesome person (please never leave tumblr) and brightening other people's day. i'm looking forward to hearing your answers to my questions, goodbye!!!! - 🌸 anon

Hello my beautiful flower!

I got your message and I was like, can't take long to answer, but life got in the way but hey! I'm here now, I found the time, yay! First of all, thank you for the kind words. I'm humbled, for me it's an honor to have you all here. Really, you left the writer with no words (tearing up a little). Second of all, I'm so glad you found your voice and were able to throw away old conceptions that (in my opinion) have very little place in literature. Write your heart out. I so long to read it, I bet it's beautiful!

Your questions are soooo goood! And I love talking about Andrea, I like how humanly flawed she is, she is so great to explore!

1. what are your oc's best and worst qualities? what do they think are their best and worst qualities?

As an innocent bystander watching it all unfold, me, Lia, as a person, I think Andrea's best and worst qualities, the two major ones I could point out, intertwine in a way I can't believe I imagined that (that's why I say they take a life of their own, really). On one hand, she is insecure. We can easily find out why, her mother was always chastising her to behave differently to hide her Evol, and because she didn't have one, she took it personally. Additionally, well, taking all the blame for what happened to Daniel tells us she feels like a disappointment, which is totally misguided and shows her insecurity. On the other hand, she is unapologetically herself. Despite her flaws. Despite her insecurities. She falters most times, but she is adamant in honoring herself, even if she doesn't fully love herself. She could be more cautious with Victor starting the relationship, but she refused to be afraid. What drives Andrea to fight isn't the fact that she's is strong (and her major flaw would be that she is completely oblivious to that) but that she refuses to live in fear. This, throughout the story, give or take a few aspects, will always be was moves her forward. I could name a lot more, and will, if you want to, but I don't want to turn this into a dissertation, so...

What she sees as her best and worst qualities? She knows she's very smart and resourceful and she knows she's tough (tough is different than strong though) and she is loyal and loving. As her flaws, I think she would simply say she is a mess. She hopes she would have it all figured out like Victor (we know he doesn't, and she kind of does too, but always see her as the worst) yet she feels like her feelings are all over the place, she is a hot head, she does things sometimes without thinking... Those are a few she would name. Oh and she still hasn't the faintest idea why Victor fell in love with her (and I guess that why he constantly reassures her of that, because he knows she looks at herself in a worse light she deserves).

2. does their fashion sense reflect an aspect of their personality? (ie bright and colorful outfits symbolizing that they're an upbeat person)

If Andrea could choose, she would wear jeans and sneakers every day. But she also understands the need to dress for the part, especially when being married to Victor, and even her job demands a certain wardrobe. She does feel the need to reinvent herself sometimes in a hard moment (like when she changed her hair during their break-up) in order to find herself. She is mostly practical, definitely not as stylish as MC. Sometimes she wishes she was, and Victor lends a hand, buying stuff for her (as long as she doesn't know how much it cost).

3. what is their mbti type? ENFP. :)

4. if they had a theme song, what would it be? (i specifically asked this one because i know how much music has influenced you to write this story, so im interested to see which song you pick) Ahhhh, I love this question! The song that totally inspired Andrea is one from the musical Waitress, She Used to Be Mine, written by Sara Bareilles. Now, as she evolves as a person and her life changes, I think her music is changing as well. For the future moments in Andrea's life, I would say her song is Raise It Up, by Florence and the Machine.

5. what would your oc say is the happiest day of their life?

All the days that represented her taking back something Daniel stole from her, her career (getting her doctorate), finding love again (when Andy and Victor got married) but the HAPPIEST, BIGGEST day of her life was when she legally became Owen's mother and finally had the family Daniel tried to make sure she would never have.

I had so much fun answering these, and this was very useful to me as a writer as well, to stir up the juices! Thank you for taking the time to do this, and no worries, I'll never leave Tumblr. I have stories to write that will last me a few years at least. And these interactions inspire me so much and bring such warmth to my heart, it is definitely my turn to thank you for being so awesome! There is much love here for you! Have a great week.

Okay I'm super nervous to ask this because I don't want to come off like a pervert, but the way you wrote the Joker and sex is fascinating to me. Its very in character and emotional, which I adore. You're really talented! That being said, I saw an anon mention prompts and I was wondering if I could ask for a kind of NSFW one? I just wonder what your take would be on him having a sex dream about Taylor. When she fantasized about him it was so true to character, would you be comfortable with filling that as a little prompt? I totally get it if not I just think the idea of him wanting her, just like a normal man in that primal way is really fascinating. I love it when his control slips idk anyways I hope I'm not being creepy lol I just think the Joker and baser human desire is an interesting combo. Thank you!

Aw! Anon. MY LOVE. Please don't ever be nervous to ask questions -- even NSFW ones. I'm totally fine with these sorts of questions, assuming we're all adults here. And you're not a "pervert." Ugh. I hate that word. Sex is such a thematic element of the plot, so I think it's natural that people would want to know more about it since it's such a fundamental aspect of their relationship. It's also, as you will come to see, another tool by which the Joker can use to manipulate Taylor with.

When it comes to the topic of the Joker and sex, I always broach this topic in my writing with a certain amount of... artistic liberty. Nothing I'm doing with the character when it comes to sex is anything I'd consider "canon", per say, especially when it comes to Ledger's Joker, and so much about him is just based on conjecture and personal preference; I don't even know what the Joker's sexuality is, quite frankly, though that is a discussion you may have seen in a separate post of mine.

I think Ledger's Joker would tend to swing in extremes -- he's either all or nothing. I think he could probably go a very long time (we're talking years) without sex and it wouldn't bother him. He wouldn't even find it to be an annoyance. He's a busy man. He's got other shit to do. But once he's set his sights on something (rather, someone) it's pretty much all over from there.

With that in mind, I wanted to created a very specific kind of dynamic, where the sex isn't really just about the act of sex itself, but more about the symbolic nature of what it means to the two of them, and the significance of Taylor "giving in" and consenting (which isn't really consent, btw, since she's seventeen and can't consent) to what they've both wanted for a long time.

And when it comes to consequent sexual encounters after that initial first time, it becomes more about him being her "teacher" and showing her new things -- essentially being her "first" for everything, and basking in the thrill of taking her innocence and shaping it into something insatiable, something that hungers for only the very specific pleasure that he can give to her. It's a very nasty, sticky web he's got her tangled in, only, our poor girl has no idea she's tangled at all -- not until it's already too late.

OKAY, now, with all of that being said: it really puts me in a bit of a bind to have to headcanon about anything sexual in nature at this point in the story, just because I have to broach this topic in Burn first. I hope you can understand. I don't want to spoil anything or touch on something heavy without having first introduced it in the story, if that makes sense.

It's very clear though, given the content in chapter ten, that the Joker does spend a pretty significant amount of time fantasizing about her. Even when she's in "Wonderland" and under the affects of the hallucinogen and Black Mask's mind control and he's not sure if she'll wake, he's still fantasizing about fucking her. I think a lot of that is due in part to the fact that he's so sure she'll wake up, but also, they're inching so close to actually doing the deed that his patience is wearing thin. He's waited long enough, and he's ready. I think the fact that he's waited as long as he has is a testament to how patient he's been with her in wanting her to initiate things, in wanting her so desperate that she actually comes to him first. Ugh! That kills me.

I could totally write a headcanon where Taylor fantasizes about J? But I also feel like we've kind of already seen little glimpses of that peppered throughout JK and Burn, so maybe that's not something you'd really care to see? Either way, let me know more specifically if there's something I can maybe touch on, and I'll see what I can do. I absolutely hate saying "no" to prompts, but when they're so open-ended like this, it kind of makes it tricky to touch on for the reasons I mentioned above.

Heeey, here is my little wall of text I warned you about. 😅

Maybe if it's a bit to long I'm sorry and you don't have to answer if you don't want to but I think you deserve to know how much and what I like about your story already after one chapter. 💕

First of all I just noticed I already read a one shot of yours about the 2 am confession and I totally fangirled about it. God it was so cute. *o*

Well back to what I was meant to write: I love your writing style, the way you describe things, people or places, I could easily picture them myself (and I'm normally not creative so it has to mean something 😁) and your choice of words makes it easy to read. :)

About the story: I literally love everything about it. Every little detail. The way the gladers are sitting together and chatting, how you gave them all a little moment of appreciation. (Fry with the kitchen, Gally with the meeting hall or how Minho and Thomas are still runners or here explorers)

You even thought about the time they needed to get used to Gally again what matches so well with the movies.

The thought about Thomas having a "bad time" evertime he thinks about Newt broke my heart 💔😢

Minho is still a leader! *o*

Why did I had to think about "be careful, don't die" when I read the "look out for yourselves and the others, guys"? Was it intended or just me? 👀

I like how organized they are in moments of danger ^^

I love Lucy already *o*

First thing you hear from her is that she is insulting her boat and giving it a death glare 😂 and Jorge must be reminded of Brenda when he heard her 🤣

"angry eyebrows, dead set on protecting his home, tall, so Gally?" I'm laughing so damn hard. It's just perfect 😂

"Harriet lacing her fingers with Sonya's." 😍 (Whitch reminds me. In the movies there wasn't mentioned, Sonya and Newt being siblings. But I hope we get a Sibling moment and maybe a sweet mention from Newt about Sonya having a girlfriend 😱)

I love light Grey-blue eyes p.p

And the fact she "knows" them all?! Newt told her about them and she is happy to get to know them. Newt is trusting her and he is important to her. I know maybe I'm analyzing a bit to much but the thought makes me happy. ^~^

I'm curious about her backstory. 😯

The way she tries to explain the situation as considerate as possible makes her even more likeable.

"he is British, blond *hard fangirling*, got this limp *crying*, says 'bloody' a lot and rolls his eyes for a sport *dying bc of laughing*"

OMG I should really stop. I am SO sorry this got so long. I only wanted to write you how awesome you and your work are and now I wrote a novel about all my fav parts (which is half of the chapter 😥) I hope you read it anyways. :x But if you want me to not write that much just say it and I will never do it again bc if you DON'T maybe I WILL do it again next time 🤔🤭

I'm really excited for the next part. 💕

(and btw. you wrote English is not your native language, may I ask what/which language is?... Funfact it isn't mine neither so sry if there are a few mistakes or things I did wrong :x)

I woke up to this and honestly this made the start into my day so much better. Like oh my gosh this is such a sweet and wonderful comment thank you so so so much!!! 💖

I'm so happy you like my oneshot! It was one of my first attempts at writing after a long time so when people like it that's always extra special to me 😊

My writing style being able to paint pictures of things for you is an incredible compliment thank you so much! One of my main focus areas is on descriptions of places and people so to hear that works well is just great 💕

Yes I wanted to show what the Gladers are up to so I'm glad I seem to have succeded in giving them all their little moments! And trust me, writing about Thomas having a bad time broke my heart too 💔 But he will get more happiness back eventually, don't worry ☀️

Also omg I literally didn't realize but that sentence really has a similar vibe to "be careful, don't die." 👀 Thank you for pointing that out! I like putting little parallels to the movie/book into my writing occasionally so that you got the same vibe from that even if I didn't intend for it is amazing! 😄

I get such incredible joy everytime someone says they like Lucy! I put a lot of work into her and her story that we will see along the way. And yes lol she has some Brenda vibes, Jorge is probably already mentally adopting her 😄😂

I have one somewhat emotional moment written with Sonya, Harriet and Newt. I might sneak in one more scene with Sonya and Newt interacting like siblings (since I sadly won't give them back their memories in this)

And yes Newt does trust Lucy and he is incredibly important to her! You analyzed that completely correctly. And I'm happy you're interested in her backstory! We will get to know more about it as we go along and at one point it will become Important because I have something special planned for her but that's all the info I will give for now 🤗

And gosh you writing about your favourite parts of my fic honestly makes me so so incredibly happy you're more then welcome to do that whenever you feel like it 💖 Like genuinely thank you so much! 😊💕

My native language is German! And don't worry, your English is really good and I understood everything you wanted to say 😊

Well I'm the executed anon now (Still loving Eunuch Kim from my grave btw😔). About last chapter, first of all: thank you for once again sharing your beautiful work with us! Now... DID HE BLUSHED?! I know it's no biggie (for some) but I love when writters show this kind of behaviour in male characters? Bc it's always "the girl blushes", "the girl is nervous" and it's always the female oc! (or character). And the male character is confident, clueless, or smth along those lines+

long ask, so under a cut! <3

Like I understand that other people is less shy than me or smth. Or boys sometimes are clueless but it's the same and same dynamic for most of the FF relationships. Like it's ok if your male character needs to be like that. But I think there are few drabbles or oneshots that show this soft side of boys. They can get shy too! They are humans, they blush, they stutter, they get nervous about their first time or kiss their special other+

Idk maybe I feel more attracted to those kind of male characters, I prefer them over bad buy, confident characters? Like Yoongi tries not to show emotions or weakness when he is with oc. As a normal person when they are with their crush ofc. But the fact that you wrote this soft side (that most writters somehow decide to overlook most of the times in male description) shows that boys are also as nervous as girls sometimes, and idk why it's so comforting for me+

Like you know, 13 year old me (back then) read FF and men always were this perfect confident boy in kissing, hugging, bla bla situations and oc is this shy girl that is always blushing, nervous, etc. As I grew older, I grew out of this badboy stereotype (even for rl) and the fact that writters add "you see male character's finger tremble, maybe he is nervous too" "he laughs nervously" "shows his soft side" makes me feel like "oh he is nervous bc he doesn't wanna mess up" and that's endearing!+

Bc yeah I don't wanna mess up with my s/o, you don't want to mess up with you s/o. Nobody wants it, everybody wants to show this perfect, confident, bold?) version of themselves to their s/o. But we have to understand that a relationship is not always about being perfect. I think that girls know that, due to the common shy female pov in which FF is mostly written but yeah we neef to include more "boys get nervous too bc they don't want to mess it up"+

Like I feel we need to find a balance when writing male characters sometimes (I'm not a writter so pls if I'm talking nonsense, excuse my uneducated self💀) n not only showing this side of boys in Established relationship aus? Anyway, thank you once again for those small details and your good work! Excuse my long paragraph rambling about soft?) boys with my non existent relationship experience, quarantine has had me thinking more about what would I like in a boyfriend while I just search for FF

YES!! you’re absolutely right! well, part of it also comes from a longstanding literary tradition of making the male character more masculine. it’s so great that contemporary works are working quite hard to break down those stereotypes & it will only keep getting more inclusive from here. i totally understand what you mean -- i also grew up with the typical confident boy & definitely had to learn on my own that that’s not realistic. it’s a lot about creating well-rounded characters, which i definitely didn’t used to do when i first started out! but i think there is definitely still a space for confident men, esp since they do exist irl too hehe. many ppl are rightfully attracted to them, which is why there’s so many fics of that. but they can move aside a bit to share the space, since they’ve had the spotlight for too many years hahah. bring in the soft boys 🥰🥰🥰 honestly some tropes or characterizations will always just dominate a literary space & there’s nothing we can do about that ;; also we do have to keep in mind the majority of the ff on here is from female POV, so they might perceive the man as confident when he’s really not!!
