#if u have to ask which person in all of tfw is my fave

[hirokiyuu]

actually i changed my mind i'm doing liner notes while fic is stlil fresh in my brain

i wanted so so badly to title this "how could i ever be so dumb to believe i'd be the one you would adore" but it was too long. heartbreaking. this would still have been such a baller title. i did consider "the one you would adore" but i think the title i settled on was better lol

i also wanted to use smth from no love in february which is also pretty dyssol for this exact scenario u kno. wnating sol to have reached out to him and hten not getting it <3 "where were you when i needed to hear you say / turn around i'm right behind you!" all that shit its soooo good for htem tbh

originally sym emerged "from the shadows of the forest" and my beta was like "there's no forest this is the ridges, the whole point is there's no forest" and i had to pull up the literal in-game text that has him emerging, quote, "from the shadows of the forest." they were so angry it was immesnely funny. i did cut it tho bc it's technically inconsistent w/worldbuilding LMFAO

i kind of wish it'd come up more but part of this sol is characterized by being unaugmented. real fucked up that people just give u extra kudos for not being augmented lmfao i do think abt that as the perk a lot

this sol's also super poly. i wanna go into this in another ficlet maybe but she was genuinely really vibing with dys's crush on sym from the start (which is part of the reason he was confused abt whether or not she liked him, lol)

originally this run was gonna be ot3 but i fucked up the timing of sym's last event but honestly? ive mentioned this before but hinge poly sol/dys/sym? does vibe. tfw ur boyfriend is clearly in love w/ur girlfriend who shes not dating also and u jsut ahve to deal w/that

a lot of the convo ended up rearranged from canon to better flow, and some stuff got cut. im still SO sad i couldnt work in dys droppign his entire dinner in the fire thats like one of my favorite parts. dyssol is best when they are both STupid <3

also sad in retrospect i had to cut the whole "where were you" but again it did not fit. i just wanted them yelling stupidly at each other tbh LAKHSGLKAHSLDKG

so i wrote this entire fic out of order starting with "you absolute spacehead, i am in love with you" which means when i wrote the part where sym cuts in my beta, who never got this scene, went SYM WAS JUST THERE? and i was like. yeah. thats canon btw thats part of the canon scene. and they lost it

"i am so stupid into you, i love you more than anything or anyone in this whole dumb universe" as a dramatic love confession is fun i think. simultaneously very like...... desperate and aching and also kind of stupid u kno. very nineteen of her. one of my fave lines from this in general tbh

the funniest possible note from my beta on the middle of the kiss

"i want all those kids tammy and i picked out dumb names for when we were nine" is another personal fave lmfao. again. dumb teens trying to talk abt the future and what they want

it was really important to me that sol didn't look pretty while she was crying. snotty + wet-faced and kind of ugly about it u kno. dyssol are a little gross and they love each other about it! it's aprt of the love

ive always thought abt dys not having anyone to find him on the spaceship (if hes not sols childhood friend) and connecting that to him disappearing on the ridges. the vibes. impeccable. of course he goes home with sol then if they ask, it's the first time anyones come looking. god. (thinking abt dyssol) GOD

dys: hey does anyone think its weird youer both just dating me now. no? just me? okay

i mean obviously the polyam negotiations DO come but again. this sol+sym in general are both just like. sweet more people to love dys

i didnt tag this as marz+dys or utopia+dys but it is immensely importnat to me that he has multiple people who love and worry and care for him. marz fucks up a lot as kids but i like how if u try to bully dys in her 10 shes like :/ no you moron im trying to KEEP him from dying :////

"clinging like he's five years old" This One Was On Purpose

originally at the end there was a joke sol made abt jumping him but it didn't fit tonally. i do think its immensely funny conceptually still tho

WOW THESE GOT LONG LMFAO anyways i lvoe ridgefic the whole ridge confession really did smth to my brain. enjoy the fruits of my disease

1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 13, 27 👀, 29, 37!!!!

1. Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

friendship, lots of emotions, very wordy and lowkey pretentious. doesn’t really have a plot and is more of a character study or just a quick scene in someone’s life, kinda like snapping a candid photo.

2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

i’ve been itching to do one sided crushes literally since my aph days, but the ships i always want to do it with are fandom faves and i’d either get people wanting me dead or constantly asking when they’re going to get together, which would not be the point of the fic. like i’m sorry. things don’t always end up happy.

5. Share one of your strengths.

hmm, i’ll come up with another one. i think i’m pretty good with grammar. i know i’ve gone off in group chats about how much i love grammar, and i genuinely find it fun looking up articles to see if i can really use that semi colon. idk if it makes my stuff more enjoyable or not, but…

6. Share one of your weaknesses.

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Between that fact, the actual sight of Bucciarati’s broken and decaying body, and the horrible sound of the cry that ripped through Mista’s throat when they arrived back at the Colosseum, the cry of someone who had not only just lost his best friend hours before, but now had lost the only adult figure in his life, Giorno had concluded that this was the source of most of his nightmares. He remembered a horrible feeling of helplessness as he watched Mista cling to Bucciarati’s cold body, tears soaking into his tattered clothes, and the sudden realization that Trish had wrapped her arms around his own neck as she buried her face in his shoulder to shield herself from the sight.

as i’ve said before, i had a looot of fun with word choice in this fic. and i know i just went off about being good at grammar and i can guarantee those are run-on sentences, but like. it got the point across imo. there wasn’t a break. there isn’t a break. it all just keeps going.

13. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

there’s a legitimate reason i keep bringing this meme up when i give writing advice. because you can give all the advice in the world and all the pointers and all the encouragement, but it doesn’t do anything if you don’t just do it. and i think a lot of times i need that kick in the ass to just get going, because that’s where i tend to falter.

27. How do you feel about collaborations?

ooh girl, you know i’ve been itching to collab with you and mei :3 gotta get my brain unbroke so we can actually do that.

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

honestly??? both the birthday fics you and mei wrote for me. and it’s 100% bc i loved them and i’m greedy and i want more. you both did such a good job of showing those two and all the things i like about them and some of my fave tropes and stuff and so i want more hhghhgfds.

but excluding friend fics, bc i feel like that’d kind of cheating, bc of course we all inspire each other and fuel each other, there’s this one swimming anime fic in my bookmarks that i read so long ago, and it’s a oneshot with some magical realism and i really liked it and i’d love to do something with the universe the author created in this au.

37. Talk about your current wips.

mmghhfds lemme open up two separate scivner files lol

1. sad marichat thing. tfw u fall in love with the person who had been crushing on you, but now they don’t seem to like you anymore. also gabriel is world’s worst dad. 2. pruhun shenanigans. and by shenanigans i mean painful growing up stories about friendship, falling in love at the wrong times, mistakes, love, and other things. 3. top secret fic that i’m still keeping secret bc i’m hoping i can unbreak my brain and finish it. 4. sick fic that will not get published even if i can finish it bc i don’t like it very much but also… sick fic. 5. friendship angst story with my fave trio of broken children. i’m not happy i’m writing it, but also i wanted to explore it. 6. “the five times they accidentally called her mom and the one time they did it on purpose” 7. that bad day fic we had that we were going to do that thing with. 8. ft actually kiss but like i make it sad bc i’m always a slut for angst. 9. weird girl and prep boy bond over frogs and trauma. 10. that one vent fic i was writing bc i’m apparently the only human being who hc’s this character as having ocd. 11. that one fic i wrote a long time ago but then had to rewrite bc i got some stuff wrong and i just haven’t finished rewriting it yet.

and then, you know. finishing editing amcait once i can convince myself i’m not the devil for writing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

L, P, U?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. Oh, man, uh....So, I’m neutral on Mick. I don’t hate him or anything, I just don’t like him as much as everyone else seemed to. BUT Mick was a genuinely nice guy who really did want to do what he thought was the right thing and he had the guts to look Hess in the eyes and tell her he was out. That takes a buttload of fortitude. P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)AU in which reincarnation is a thing and we see our choice pairing (or pairings or polyship or whatever) navigate various time periods in different relationships (siblings, best friends, cousins, right person wrong time, etc.). I actually have a few things I’d liked to see under this umbrella and all of them involve deity interference. It’s hard to explain without getting too specific but one involves Dean/Cas/Meg with established Deity!Dean and Deity!Meg and reincarnated!Cas. But there are a lot of characters this could work for. OOOOH! And Jazz music AUs. I’d also like to see modern AUs that deal more with different religions. That’s probably just me but I like that stuff. And mythology AUs. U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.This is hard. Uh.... I don’t think I fandom outside of SPN much. I’m just gonna talk about three characters I love but I’m not talking about TFW because everyone knows I love them.Meg: I love Meg a whole lot. I liked her when she was bad and I liked her when she was an ally. She’s always been my favorite demon and I really miss her. Star Trek (tos/aos): Bones. I love how much of a curmudgeon Bones is like 90% of the time. It’s like he’s always disapproving of the situation he’s in but he secretly kinda loves it so... I dunno. I just related. Also, I would be the same way in space. It’d be cool to go but space also sucks. I really like Carl Urban’s Bones even though I’m also a fan of DeForest Kelley’s original take. Doctor Who: Martha Jones. Fuck, I loved Martha. She was almost more The Doctor than The Doctor was and I just love her to death. I haven’t watched DW in forever, but I know I still love her so that’s something. She and Donna were my favorites. 

Ask me stuff!

Thanks!
