I'm looking for help with simplified Chinese - specifically colors in translation.

I don't trust Google Translate or any of the similar sites with this.

If anybody can help, please let me know 😊

Snippet Of A WIP You're Currently Working On:

This is from Buck's first introduction to my "A Boy, His Top, and His Cop" series

“Come on in,” TK said, waving Buck into the apartment. “Carlos should still be at work, but-”

“Hey, kiddo.”

For a second, TK couldn’t quite believe it, but as soon as he turned away from Buck to check, there Quinn was, sitting on the couch and smiling softly. He’d been sad he wouldn’t see Carlos after that shift, but having his Dom here was just as reassuring in a different way. “Hey.”

“So, this is the boyfriend?”

Buck sounded a little skeptical, and TK couldn’t blame him. Quinn certainly didn’t look like a Carlos.

“No, this is Quinn,” he said, grinning at Buck before hurrying over to hug his Dom. “Quinn, this is Buck. He’s gonna be spending the night here.”

Quinn nodded at Buck as he stood to pull TK into a comforting hug. But all too soon he pulled back a little, hands still resting on TK’s shoulders, and raised an eyebrow at him. “So. I hear you stole a firetruck today.”

TK winced and shuffled to the side. “Technically, Buck stole it,” he said, hitching a thumb over his shoulder.

“Hey,” Buck protested, at the same time as Quinn asked, “You sure that’s the right move there, kiddo?”

TK gave Buck an apologetic shrug but turned his attention back to Quinn all the same. “Look, Quinn, we had to, okay? My dad was out there. We only barely got to him in time.”

“I know,” Quinn said, his voice soft. “But look me in the eye and tell me you don’t need to be punished for this.”

[destieltaggedfic]

Hey, thanks for what you do! I wanted to ask if you've come across fics in which Cas is addicted to Dean, sexually or otherwise? I think I read a fic where Cas, new to sex (or new to sex with Dean), couldn't get enough of Dean. Or maybe I just wanted to read that so much that I imagined it. Thanks!

oooh. Interesting. I've tried to stay away from love spell/sex pollen type of fics for this one. I couldn't really find anything about "addicted" its more insatiable or needy

Personal Space - orphan_account   Ao3

Nonspecific timeframe.  Cas’ personal space problem gets worse, always needing to be closer and closer with Dean.  And Dean is surprisingly ok with it.

Word Count: 1k                                 Non-Graphic Sex

Insatiable – Pinkmink   Ao3

Set S12.  Dean should have known how it would be.  He’d met that human version of Cas in 2014.  It shouldn’t be surprising how much Cas wants him.

Word Count: 2k                                 Graphic Sexual Acts  

Between Layers – magickastiel   Ao3

Nonspecific timeframe.  Sometimes Cas doesn’t feel close enough to Dean.  One night during sex he works out that possessing Dean would be the answer.

Word Count: 2k                                 Graphic Sexual Acts

I think I still prefer the coffee - Rinoa2530   Ao3

Set 15x20 didn’t happen AU.  Now he can have Dean, Cas wants him all the time.  Dean is fine with that as long as he’s had his coffee first.

Word Count: 1k                                 Graphic Sexual Acts

Worthy – Mayalaen  Ao3

Nonspecific timeframe.  Cas is being more clingy than usual, eventually Dean works out because his mating drive has kicked in, and instincts are driving him to provide for his mate. (angels have an a/b/o type thing)

Word Count: 2k                                 Non-Graphic Sex

Ophelia by The Lumineers. -I honestly love the entirety of the Cleopatra album but Ophelia has a special place in my heart because I can get three of my kiddos to sing along to it with me.

My Fathers Father by The Civil Wars. -There is just something about their music and their voices that is soothing to my soul, and I feel that way about all of their songs.

Far Side of the World by Tide Lines.- ngl the first time I heard this song was on tiktok and it was sung by someone and then duetted by the lead singer of Tide Lines.

Utican by Novo Amor. -I love the way his music sounds, this song in particular has been on repeat for me for the past month.

dice set suggestions please?

I was a HUGE idiot and let my cousin (not Asshole Cousin) borrow my set to try playing D&D with a group of gamers for the first time.

She 😭 lost 😭 them 😭

They were REALLY pretty and metal and perfectly balanced and I've had them for YEARS and that particular one isn't available anymore.

I'm the type of weirdo who has one set instead of collecting sets, so now I don't have any.

Looking through options, I'm overwhelmed by all the pretties 😍

Does anybody have any suggestions for what I should get? I'm leaning toward purple since it's my favorite color, but there's still a ton of design options and I do like reds and blues too. Not a fan of green.

I like a good weight to them, which is why I chose metal in the past.

Please help!!

20 questions for fic writers

Thanks to @mayalaen for tagging me! (way too long ago lol)

First, my AO3

How many works do you have on AO3?

65

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

218,144

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Leverage, White Collar, 9-1-1 Lone Star, 9-1-1, MCU, Political Animals, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG1, Supernatural

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ice Cream and Therapy, First Dance, An Unexpected Party, Tales of Batman: Interlude I and The First Time

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

Yes, but sometimes I get miserably behind and then have to catch up all at once. But I cherish every one and I do enjoy interacting with readers

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

Um, I'm not much for angst, but I guess Stay With Me. It's SPN/Leverage, and deals with Dean's demon deal

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

Probably Never Sees It Coming (Stargate Atlantis)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really, which I appreciate.

9. Do you write smut?

Not at all. I write a lot of spankings though, so different kink

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

I love writing crossovers, and most of my fics have at least two fandoms involved. That said, the craziest one is absolutely Curse You, Steve the Seal, which is a crack drabble crossing Hawaii Five-0 with Phineas and Ferb (last time I ever ask for a fanfic prompt from someone who doesn't actually read/write fanfics.) But a close second would be Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Sore Butt, which I just finished. Leverage/White Collar/9-1-1/9-1-1 Lone Star, and an AU of two of my preexisting AUs. That was a wild ride.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Don't think so, though that would be cool.

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

Not fanfic, no. I do have one series posted with a co-creator, but I am still waiting for said co-creator to actually co-create something instead of just throwing more prompts at me lol

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Not sure? I have ships I like, ships I don't like, but I don't know. Favorite to watch is probably Tarlos and Malec (helps that they're canon lol). Favorites to write would be Eliot/Quinn/Neal and John/Evan/Cam ( I love the polyamory lol)

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

Um. All the ones that I'm spending thought on, I probably will manage to finish? Otherwise I probably don't care about them enough at the moment to notice if I don't?

16. What are your writing strengths?

I love dialogue. It's so fun to just see what the hell the characters are gonna say/do next

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Description and action. I can't actually picture anything in my head, so I find myself baffled that people might actually care about what the setting looks like/what's going on

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

I won't do it, because I don't speak another language well enough and I don't trust Google translate, but if need be I'll probably pull a "she said in this language." When people do put other languages in dialogue I get frustrated that I can't read it, but I also understand that that's what it's like for the characters, too, so fair enough

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Supernatural and Leverage (so many crossovers you guys)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I don't even know, I love all of them. At the moment, though, I've got a fondness for both Goodnight Moon and the follow-up Goodnight Nobody. They're Bucky-TJ fics that are just kinda cute and feelsy.

Happy birthday! Just checked my calendar and saw your birthday was yesterday, so I apologize for the lateness. Congrats on another trip around the sun :)

Don't be sorry! I don’t really make it public! Thank you!!!

[thayerkerbasy]

Do you think there's a time limit on fortune cookie predictions? Like if I eat one that's been in the pantry for a few years, did I miss my chance?

Of course not!  No matter how long it waits in the pantry, “A gathering of friends will bring you luck” or “Travel is in your future” will still be vague enough to apply to you if you try hard enough to convince yourself.  So go on, crack open that ancient cookie and get your factory-generated nonsense.  It will never be any more or less accurate.

[little-crazy-misha-minion]

So it appears you like stupid jokes. YAY! Now I have to tell you one. Why does a chicken coop only have two doors?

Oh yes indeed I do, I laugh at dumb shit all the time, very loudly and proudly.

Tell me, why does a chicken coop only have two doors?
