#its a fixit ofc

[just-sp-in-inginthevoid]

imagine you have time leaping power. and you want to get rid of it because you already did what you wanted to do. and instead of. giving it to someone you know, someone you trust. you give it to a twelve years old child who asked you how to be a hero like you. then you think about that time you killed a man and decide that this kid will surely handle the power. so you give it to him, not sure if it’s even going to work.

imagine giving time leaper power to a 1) child, 2) stranger and not, idk, one of your friend (perhaps the one you’re the closest to at the moment and who you likely a bit traumatized by telling everything you went through to him and then telling him to keep it a secret until his death or something)

No Empire AU Obi Wan totally would have gone into meeting Luke and Leia all like "I am their UNCLE, not out of family relation but friendship" blah blah blah but then the twins start calling him "Obby" or smth (bc they can't pronounce anything else) and suddenly it's like Grandpa Mode Activated

ur amphibia fix it fics are literally my comfort fisc...like whenever im feeling sad about the finale or need motivation for my own fixit stuff...ill go into a03 and read them. i hope this doesnt too weird jksjskjsk. hope u write more of them one day!! (no pressure ofc)

Thank you, and I'm glad you like them! I do really want to write more for the AU, but I actually just moved back to college, and it'll take a bit for me to adjust enough to get writing motivation back, which is a pain :/

(And don't worry about it! I actually go and re-read my favorite couple of fix-its every now and then, so I totally understand lol)

[emetkoto]

6 from pre, 2&12 from love, emetkoto!

6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

GOD they would both be so..........angry

Emet would be SO offended that you would even DARE to imply that he would EVER have feelings for anyone other than his beloved Apollo, let alone a pathetic sundered being like K'oto...big vibes of the last quest of shb where you try to tell him that you've all lost people and he gets SO mad that you would compare yourselves to those he lost <3 might even piss him off bad enough he can be bothered to lift a finger and unmake you if youre (un)lucky

K'oto would also lash out in his usual fashion but he would also be very much flustered and embarassed at the thought <3 yelling at you about how that cant be right while his face is red hot and he cant even figure out why.....love that angry man <3 if you persist he might start biting and potentially tackle you and start swinging just to get you to shut up bc hes so full of confusing feelings and hes terrible at dealing with them so he just channels them all into anger

2. What are their primary love languages?

K'oto is very much a physical lover, but when it comes to showing like actual genuine romantic affection and not just being all up on someone bc hes flirting hes kinda shy about it so in public he tends to poke fun at his partners to show it..his way of being like "look i pay attention to you i know all these things about you i can pick on you for i love you".....and ofc biting. biting is a love language :) but he knows its not for everyone so he reserves it mostly for estinien bc he can take it, strong dragon skin and all. emet mostly sees the physical affection since their sweet lovey moments happen in private and also hes always kind of afraid to talk too much when theyre together lest he annoy emet and make him leave

Emet is kinda....like a cat? he shows he likes you by tolerating your presence, aka being in the same room as you, slightly closer to you than anyone else around :) also makes a habit of complaining about things you do that he sees as reckless or stupid, calling it annoying but really it comes from him being worried...kinda folds into his whole thing with belitting k'oto for being a lesser being since hes sundered, he's worried about him </3 also like a cat once he closes the distance (usually without you even noticing and only when youre alone) he likes to cuddle and be a bit touchy feely...ofc its all on his terms and if hes tired of something you will know! hes not big on like mushy words or anything, he prefers to just spend time together quietly, i doubt in the thousands of years he was with apollo he once properly told him he loved him bc he just Doesnt Do That but he made it known in his own ways and did the same with K'oto <3

12. What kind of nicknames do they call each other?

during shb K'oto always shortened his name to just 'Emet' and it annoyed the hell out of him at first bc like thats a big special title that was bestowed upon him how DARE he make a cute little nickname out of it....but he grew to kinda like it by the end...when they were together it was a brief break from his duty as Emet-Selch and his pain as Hades, he could just be K'otos Emet for a while <3 from the end of shb onwards he exclusively referred to him as Hades as a way to remember him as more than just the ascian Emet-Selch but as the ancient Hades who once lived, yknow how it is </3

(endwalker spoilers for this next part)

Emet is always on that 'Hero'(derogatory) bs honestly there isnt really anything else he ever called him besides the occasional mocking 'my dear'.....I'd say the first and only time he calls K'oto by name is at the end of Endwalker during their last goodbye and you just know it broke him but it was #closure or whatever, he needed that <3 if he ever comes back again (and he fucking better) or if i write a fixit fic where he sucks it up and joins the polycule he'll use a healthy mix of his name and hero bc its just so iconic :)

[thegeminisage]

for the fic ask meme - 3, 9, 17, 23! <3

ANON MY BELOVED <3 thank you this is so many!!! sorry this took so long to answer!!!! i wound up having a lot to say rip 

3: Do you have any upcoming WIPs? How far along are you with them?

i have 3!! there was one thing i was working on prior to nov 5 of last year, which i have only just started considering again. the tag for that is “secret project tag” because well. it is a secret. im not even saying that like “oh im playing i secretly do want to be asked” i dont bc if i told anyone about it i think that i would stop being able to work on it :( like i’m just not sure i’ll finish!!! in the beginning i didn’t even want to say that it was writing, yk? i only even started tagging it because it’s obnoxious to talk about something i can’t talk about & i wanted people to be able to blacklist. i am only about 10k into it, and it will probably wind up being quite long, 150k bare minimum, so it will probably be a very long time before it ever sees the light of day, IF it sees the light of day at all. 

second wip is of course the claire-centric envesseled from @cambionverse. cally and i have been struggling with it on and off since 2013 and it is Finally Time. for anyone not familiar with it, cambionverse is a fixit for the end of s6 (initially written during the airing of s6) that centers on claire novak, cas’s vessel’s daughter from s4, ben braeden, dean’s not-kid from s3/s6, and jesse turner, the little half demon from season 5, as young adults. they’re basically ocs at this point and the idea was to do one story for each of them. we did one for jesse and one for ben and claire’s was supposed to be the end of the trilogy, but we got started on a bunch of side projects and had to rewrite almost everything to prep for it, so it’s taken nearly a decade. i am so glad to finally be getting to it!! right now we’ve got about 36k, the first chapter is completely done, the second chapter is in a couple of pieces we’re trying to stitch back together, and the third chapter has like half a scene in it. it’s slow going rn because we’re sort of putting everything from previous drafts back together in coherent pieces, but i think after we get to truly new stuff we haven’t written before (this is our third draft...) it will go a lot faster. i hope so anyway, because we have 7 chapters an an epilogue planned lol. and there’s no guarantee it won’t get bigger! as these things often do.

third & final wip is ofc triptych part 3, the third in the series after to an angel and broken road, currently being called 12:46pm because i don’t have anything better to call it. (12:46pm is when i had the idea for it, or more accurately when @cleaver-2007 GAVE me the idea like the horrible influence they are.) i wrote some about it here! right now i only have about 2500 words for it because i’m struggling with my structure + trying to devote most of my free time to envesseled. i don’t want to give away the big spoiler for its premise but i am really looking forward to it & also terrified because i have seen other people doing it and i think they probably did it/will do it better than me. the way i pick my projects out is “nobody else has done this in a way that satisfies me” or “nobody else has done this at all” because then i don’t feel like im competing with anybody. like NO ONE ELSE wrote a fic where all of camelot, including uther, got magic. i was the sole corner on that market so there was no pressure yk? but this is a fairly popular concept so im angsting hard about pulling it off!!!!!

9: Are there any fics you’d love to see but don’t want to write yourself? What are they?

weirdly enough not too many! most of the time if i REALLY wanna see something and no one else has done it i will simply do it myself, assuming im in a place where i can take on a big project. such as for example a good nuanced john winchester fic. i’m sure there are some but i’m blanking, nothing is coming to mind...i think the only one i can think of right now is really long season/series/episode rewrites, but even then i am reluctant to get too invested in longer works because What If The Author Has Bad Opinions. i bet i will think of a better answer to this question when i am trying to fall asleep tonight

17: What has been the proudest moment for you so far since you started writing?

ok, so it’s a tie. one is of course the huge response to broken road, particularly that bombshell of a 6th chapter...even though i don’t think broken road is my best work, it is by far my most popular one, and i was and still am absolutely humbled by the huge amount of people who followed along week-to-week, who sent in almost literally more comments than i could reply to before it was time to post the next chapter. i know fic popularity is a matter of writing for the right thing at the right time, but it felt like the work resonated with so many people! i can’t even describe with words how that feels.

the second moment is when i finished my first-ever fanfic, which was a novelization of ocarina of time. i started writing it because i wanted to read a novelization but nobody else got to the end...i’d read dozens of deku tree chapters and no ganon’s tower chapters. it wasn’t a great or even very good fanfic, but it was a FINISHED one, and as far as i know i was the first person on FFN (maybe even the only person on FFN) to actually get to the end. when i got done i was like “that is literally the most fun i’ve ever had doing anything and i wanna do it for the rest of my life” and i started a novelization of majora’s mask the very same day. haven’t quit since!

23: What’s one piece of advice you would give to anyone who wants to start writing or posting their writing online?

i actually have a whole list of advice posts but i’m going to cheat and do two again anyway. the first one is, OUTLINE. i swear by the triangle method which posits you need 3 things to do well: enthusiasm about what you’re doing, time to do it, and to know where you’re going next. that last step IS CRUCIAL. 

my second piece of advice is to have fun!!! i see posts constantly about how wrting is hard and it sucks and people quit writing all the time because they didn’t get enough comments or whatever, but if i had based my willingness to write on the amount of comments i got i would never have finished my first story, let alone go on to write another (almost) two decades. if you can find even one person to be excited with your shit about, that can be enough. write bc you love to do it - if you don’t, why bother at all?

[fic ask game]

[wall-eye]

Just rewatched avatar (blue space ppl not "everything changed when the fire nation attacked") in 3d and i have 3 things to say (spoilers ahead ofc)

1) holy shit that was so pretty. I only had the glasses for half of it cause my uncle started to watch it too but DANG. If you havent watched it in 3d and are able to? Duuude holy crap get on this

2) jfc the native american imagery (can i even call it imagery?? Its so Obviously about native americans/ lots of thing in it are from them). the bad guys straight up called them savages and blue apes and theres a lesson we should learn here that people havemt yet can we just make all the people in the government watch tbis movie and do some analysis on this shit like damn bih learn a single thing

3) i get why theres so few fics on ao3 about this movie. It has everything youd want to add if it was gone. Romance? Check. Trouble in paradise? Check. People learning to be better/refusing to be bad? Check. Humanizing moments for the characters? Check. Character death? Check. Bad guy dies at end? Check. Like, i can see someone writing/reading a everybody-lives!fixit fic and some aus (easily see game au) but not much else.
