BEAS NICE ASK DAY

I have sadly been a tad neglectful of this little wonderful corner of the internet due in no small part to living in another country for work the past three months.

BUT I HAVE RETURNED. This might seem as if it is a familiar post because I attempted to do Beas nice ask day many moons ago only to genuinely loose all of my spoons in a matter of minutes after posting (for shame). SO TODAY ON THE 1st of APRIL ~ instead of tricks I will be doling out treats in the form of nice questions and I hope all of you do it too!!

SO FOR TODAY: I am announcing BEAS NICE ASK DAY aka where I inundate your ask box with nice questions to make up for being gone for so long.

You are all gems and I am happy to be back in the saddle of a horse I don't know how to ride, hoping it takes me in the right direction!

Sending an ask for nice ask day!!

Noticed we have a lot of similar fandom interests -- if David, Patrick, Carlos, TK, Alex, and Henry were to meet, where would it happen? who would get along the most outside of the pairing?

hello! What a great ask! I love finding people who share multiple fandoms, so hello new friend!!! 💖

Believe it or not, this is something I’ve thought about previously, so strap in.

A while back @blackandwhiteandrose wrote a fic (about how David and TK were friends (if you love both characters, you should read this fic, it’s so good) back when David still lived in NYC. Having read it and discussed it with BWR later, I wholeheartedly agree that they were friends who lost touch after TK moved to Austin. Not immediately though - you know in s1 of SC how David is always on the phone texting? We know that his NYC friends were mostly assholes, so who was he texting? TK.

TK probably got a new phone or deleted all of his NYC contacts when he moved to Austin, so he lost David’s number then too. But maybe he’s scrolling Instagram one day and comes across Alexis’ account or the Rose Apothecary account, or maybe Nancy is laughing hysterically at Moira’s accidental live stream of the conversation about David’s oopsie-daisy and eventually TK gets back in touch with David. They’re both happy now, really happy. Deeply in love, safe and content with who they are as people, happy.

Patrick suggests that he and David make the trip to Austin and David can catch up with TK while they’re there. (There’s probably some kind of sportsball game Patrick would want to watch, idk).

I’m taking liberties now, but bear with me. While they’re in Austin, they go to a restaurant and there’s a fire. Please go read @missgeevious’s absolutely hysterical fic to find out what happens.

Once Patrick gets over his mortification (it’s short lived, David won’t allow it, there are food trucks to visit and proper bbq to be had), they go with TK and Carlos on a tour of Carlos’ favourite food trucks and end up at Franklin’s BBQ, which David wanted to go to because he read about it in an article about FSOTUS.

Carlos raises a brow at David’s seeming insistence on wearing sweaters in the Texas heat, but he’s glad it’s not actually summer or TK might need to put his paramedic skills to work on his friend. There’s a moment when Carlos catches Patrick’s eye as their respective husbands are chatting loudly and gesticulating wildly and there’s a fond resignation in Patrick’s expression that he recognises. One that says, “sometimes I can’t believe that I chose him but I’m so glad every day that I did.” Carlos feels that way about TK too.

When they make it to Franklin’s the line is long and Carlos notices the presence of private security officers in suits - unusual for somewhere like Franklin’s. The reason for it becomes apparent when they realize that Alex, Henry, Nora and June are ahead of them in line. They’d come to Texas for a long weekend at the lake house. It’s David who recognises them first - Alexis used to have a giant crush on Prince Henry, she’d met him once before at a party on a yacht (Pez dragged Henry to the party), and in the way that only Alexis can, had come home and huffed that Henry must not be interested in women, “because, David, he, like, barely even looked at me and I was wearing that sparkly Balenciaga!” (Little did she know that she was correct. “I knew it!” she proclaimed when news broke of the emails, before she’d gone all teary eyed once the enormity of what had happened to Alex and Henry had hit her).

Turns out that the world is both too big and ridiculously small - Carlos and June had taken a class together at UT, even worked on a group assignment together. When June comes over to say hi to Carlos, they end up all sitting together: David, Patrick, TK, Carlos, Alex, Henry, June and Nora. They share their food and laugh so much and more than one other patron does a double take at the ridiculous level of hotness sitting at their tables.

David gets along surprisingly well with Nora - she reminds both him and Patrick of Stevie, in a way. Carlos and Henry become fast friends and it’s not long before he and Alex are talking in Spanish about their favourite foods as well. David, TK and Alex - in an uncoordinated attack - separately try to steal food off their respective partners’ plates only to be met with loud protests, followed by triumph, because their partners never really say no. There’s laughter when they realise what’s happened simultaneously around the table.

They sit there talking and laughing and eating until they realise that the sunlight is fading and they’ve been there for hours now, simply enjoying the company and revelling in feeling happy, and safe, and free.

Hi Mae! It's nice ask day so I'm here to ask how you came up with the idea to start the @rwrbficrec blog? It's such a great blog and something that's been missing from the fandom for a long time 💖 I was excited to see it when you first popped up!

RAE Thank you so much for this question! ❤️❤️❤️ 

@rwrbficrecs origin story here we go (spoiler alert: it’s not that exciting of a story 😂)

I kinda had one of those days where I didn’t feel like trawling through AO3 and just wanted to read fics off a rec list and I thought I’d go looking for a rwrb rec blog! Imagine my surprise when I couldn’t find one. I thought for sure someone would have started one already 😬

Anyway I was telling my husband about my failed search and I was jokingly like “haha I should make one”. He was like “yeah why not, it’ll be a good project for you.” and I was like “huh maybe I will then 😂”

I brainstormed for a couple of days and we talked about all the spreadsheets and stuff he could do with his coding. He encouraged me some more 😂 and tbh he was right, I did need a project. I haven’t been able to work for the last two years for health reasons and I’d started feeling a bit adrift. It was the perfect thing for me to focus on, and it was nice to be passionate about something again! 

But I was honestly pretty nervous about it. Up until that point I was a lurker in the fandom - I’d been reading rwrb fics for years but I’d spoken to literally nobody in the fandom. I’m a really shy person so I expected to just be quietly making lists and that would be that 😅   

But then everyone was so nice and welcoming?! And then things spiralled from there and I’m just amazed that I went from 100% lurking to running a blog + discord community + making actual friends 🥺🥺🥺 Being able to contribute to the fandom in this way has been so lovely 🥺 Life’s wild and I’m so so glad I decided to create the blog ❤️

tl;dr I was looking for a rec blog, couldn’t find one, husband told me I should make it myself 😂

Morning Char!

Nice Ask Week:

Biggest wish for the upcoming season?

-Cee♥️

Hi Cee!

Well. Here in Charland, where money is fake and ratings are simply intellectual curiosities, my biggest wish is, ahem 18+ folks,

Steamy Tarlos.

I want gratuitous newlywed make out sessions, bare skin and hard working tongues. Next season should be filled with outside drama and ridiculous blockbuster rescues, after which Carlos and TK return to the loft each episode to bang it out.

Their friends are stuck in the hallway at the beginning of Catan Night because the sight of Carlos arranging all his little snack bowls drives TK to dive under the kitchen island and suck him off just before they arrive.

Fancy donuts are cut from their budget to account for the increase in lube deliveries. The stash is barely a stash anymore when a tube or bottle is within reach every five feet in any direction. The writers play it coy but we can zoom in and see em behind picture frames and Lou food.

Yoga clothes, uniforms, button down shirts and thin henleys are ripped apart with wild abandon. Jeans grow knee holes and zippers break from overuse. TK giggles with delight when the simple act of brushing his teeth riles Carlos enough to throw TK over his shoulder and carry him to bed.

The chaise end of the couch is nearly imprinted with TK’s knees as it becomes his favorite spot to straddles Carlos and ride him during Grand Designs, while the sturdy dining table is where Carlos lays TK out as a snack most often while dinner’s in the oven.

Open case files and creased foreheads never last long, as the sparkle of a wedding ring catches the light off the desk or the kitchen peninsula and reminds one or both of them that a good dicking down is in order.

That’s some of what I want in Season 5. Leave the hospital visits and long term care to others. Our competent boys work hard, help the people and then get f-cked.

[wolfpup026]

Happy Nice Ask Day! Absolutely love your blog and am always in awe at every one of your art posts, your work is so beautiful 😍 I was just wondering, are there any Mobius or Lokius scenes we've seen glimpses of in s2 that have given you inspiration for what's to come or any one of your previous pieces in particular you'd like to see actually happen in the show??

Aaaaaa thank you, you're too kind!! ❤️

I'm working on something right now that's inspired by their tuxes in season 2, and the three Lokis in that one shot. It's a kinda weird concept that I wasn't sure if I'd finish, but I got some good feedback on it so I'm continuing! Here's a WIP:

For things I'd like to happen, one that comes to mind is this one! I know it's very unlikely but I'd love to see President Loki again someday. And I wouldn't mind seeing Mobius tied up 😏

[welcometololaland]

Hello!

If you’re not here, ignore this, but if you are, I present you this or thats for a nice ask. Elaborations welcome but not required

Only write 1k fics or only write 100k fics?

Crunchy green grapes or mangoes?

Tarlos getting a dog or tarlos getting a cat?

Reading smut on the elliptical or on public transport?

Charlie Swan or Billy Tyson?

Comfort movie, comfort show, or comfort book?

JEN! I LOVE THIS AND THAT ASKS! (pls note expression of excitement, i'm not saying you could learn from the best, but i'm saying-) i actually have an ask game saved in my drafts that i'm itching to play because it's based on something similar, so thanks for reading my mind🧍‍♂️

1. 1k fics or 100k fics? look. it would be better for everyone me if i wrote 1k fics. but i know myself. it has to be 100k. besides, i couldn't leave @three-drink-amy alone in the overwriting club.

2. fuck you (affectionate) with your crunchy green grapes, i'll never get over that. i pick mango because grapes are a tummy hurt culprit (even though i love them).

3. i know you're setting me up, but i'm cat man carlos all the way (and i know you agree with me because lucky in meet you after dark is EVERYTHING to me). like he doesn't hate dogs or anything, in fact i think he likes dogs. but carlos would just vibe with a cat so well (makes sense, tk being a feral stray, after all). i co-sign @liminalmemories21 most recent comment on the rainbow fish. we're drivers of the cat-owner-carlos train, everyone hop aboard!

4. smut on the elliptical is my go to but i will say i have a new workout regime and the elliptical is sadly no longer my friend (which is also why i'm reading a lot less fic these days). so i guess i'm gonna have to find another quasi-inappropriate place to read smut.

5. nice trick question. billy tyson and charlie swan are the same person and we all know it (charlie swan having turned into a vampire and moved to...texas (?) as part of his immortal cover story).

6. comfort movie used to be v for vendetta which is not comforting at all, i just love it. it's probably set it up. comfort show is veronica mars (lone star if i only watch tarlos/126 funny scenes and not the rescues because they stress me out). comfort book is rwrb, hands down.

thanks, jen this was a super fun ask! i wanna send people the three comforts now because i'm so intruiged as to their answers! note to the people: please jump in!

[strandnreyes]

Hi Jen! 👋

Just popping into your ask box today to ask: what personal headcanons about LS have been floating around in your head nowadays? This is kind of a broad question, but I guess... ones surrounding food?

Okay starting with my firmest food headcanon: TK can cook. Simple as that lol. But if someone else offers to cook for him, he definitely won’t be saying no. That’s one of the many reasons he and Carlos work so well together.

That being said (which is basically canon at this point), Carlos loves to cook for people. Love language!! I think Carlos learned to cook from his mom and he loves those memories with her even if in the moment, his internal thoughts on if his father saw him as too soft were growing

Paul is the best cook at the firehouse hands down and everyone loves when it’s his night. That firehouse table is full and half of the people don’t even work there. No one bats an eye when Carlos or Grace or Wyatt show up and grab a plate

Judd can make a mean barbecue. He also handles all things breakfast. Grace takes care of the rest and makes sure that man eats things like eggplant or squash which Judd is always skeptical about but ends up loving it, prompting a ‘why do you doubt me?’ from Grace

Marjan is always down to go out and try any new cuisine. She can get them a table at the new restaurant in town that has like a three month wait list

Nancy likes baking and the first time she shared this hobby with the group is the first 126 hang she went to when she felt a little out of place and still on the outside. She wanted to give them a reason to like her, but she hasn’t told anyone that

Mateo lived on takeout, frozen pizza, and boxed mac and cheese at his old place with his idiot roommates, but now that he has a full kitchen and learns things like what a pasta cutter is, he starts slowly trying his hand at cooking.

Tommy is constantly trying to make food like Charles once did because she doesn’t want the girls to miss his cooking and they notice this, telling her that they love her cooking just as much. When they get a little older, they all start to make Charles’ recipes together on nights when they miss him a little more than usual

Owen’s health food craze is powered by his need to keep his body appearing strong and healthy to hide the fact that his mind isn’t always in the same state. It’s why we see him eating a bucket of chicken when he thinks he’s alone for the night.

I think it was Paul in season 1 who called the 126 the hardest bunch to cook for but even with everyone’s differing diets, everyone always leaves firehouse dinners, 126 hangs, birthdays, whatever it may be with a full stomach because everyone is so considerate of what people can and can’t eat and the spread is for everyone

[howtosingit]

Brian I have a nice ask day ask if you wish to answer it 💜 can you pick your top 5 Rafa on screen scenes and rank them? impossible question I know. but I believe in you!

Okay the thing is I did want to answer this immediately but it absolutely crippled me with doubt 😂 so I'm just gonna do it quick like ripping off a bandaid so that I can't overthink it anymore. Also not going to rank them because I'll spiral, so you're just getting 5 great ones:

The first interrogation room scene in 2x08 (but also all Carlos and Gabriel scenes this episode). The constant shifts in Carlos as he puts things together and realizes why Gabriel's there, the heartbreak of him thinking he was doing what his father always wanted, only to disappoint him again... at the time, this was the strongest scene LS had it its arsenal (WE STAN AND MISS TONYA KONG FOREVER AND ALWAYS) and it remains one of the best ones. It's so compelling and amazing to get to see the Carlos and Gabriel dynamic on display for the first time. This episode was a game-changer and I'll never shut up about it.

It's probably cheating to say all of his work in 4x18, so if I had to pick a scene from that I would say his talk with Owen where they toast Gabriel. My only problem with it is that it's so short, but Rafa packs every fucking thing he can in there, beat for beat, and it's beautiful. His delivery on "and forget about it?" but also all the lines leading up to that. The man is fucking hollow and crushed and lost and MY GOD RAFAEL. He's so skilled at what he does, knows exactly what he's doing every time. It's sublime.

Fine, another 4x18. Carlos's vows. I'm not gonna explain that one, the man is fucking beautiful and his heart is beautiful and he puts in on display publicly for what was probably the first time in his adult life, and it's stunning.

I love the scene in 3x13 where Carlos meets Cooper. Rafa is such a brilliant comedic actor, he uses every tool at his disposal, he understands his craft so well, how to use his body and face and voice to delivery great work, he's such a standout. I adore him. I could watch that scene for hours. Also, he is really fucking distracting in those clothes.

I'm gonna pick the fire in 2x12. And I'm gonna pick it because honestly the intensity of that scene, the life-or-death stakes, the absolute devastation and destruction of it, they are fully delivered by Rafa's performance. Like, Carlos's fear is what drives the scene, and Rafa's work sells it. And I'm also going to pick it because he's shirtless and so fucking hot. I'm gay, it's true. Have fully never recovered from it. And I'm also going to cheat and say the scene continues into him crying and TK holding him. So, like, obviously a top 5.

I'm sorry I have to include it I know I already picked 5 and I refuse to cut any of them but the 3x04 scene deserves to be in here and I'm mostly talking about the montage scene where TK wakes up and Carlos is forced out of the room and then his mom is there but then he fucking gasps the breath of a dying man who has been saved LIKE HE BASICALLY SAYS NO WORDS BUT MY FUCKING GOD, THE PERFORMANCE so I'm listing it and you can't fucking stop me Lola YOU CAN'T

anyway I just really love an actor who has honed their skills and studied their craft and dedicated themselves to approaching each scene in a fresh and honest way and I'm just really fucking happy to get to watch Rafa do it so thanks for letting me rave about him Lola you're a real one ❤️

JEN!! IT'S NICE ASK DAY!!!!

If you could relive one day of your life over and over whenever you wanted, what day would it be?

This one. For the boys, for the fact I was with @bubblesandroses8, just all of it really.

We’re doing a Nice Ask Day. Go send someone something nice, anon or not

[freneticfloetry]

nice ask day

I'm stealing this idea from @carlos-in-glasses, because I love it, so here's a Nice Ask Day request for all of Lone Star fandom: tell me your Tarlos theme song, and why you love it for them! Let's make a big ass playlist.

[hgejfmw-hgejhsf]

It’s Beas nice ask day!

So my question for you: What is something (fandom or not) that you have stepped back to say “damn I did that” that makes you feel proud

Ohhhh I love this! Thank you for choosing me as a recipient of one of your nice asks 🥰🥹

Oh gosh, I do have a few things.

Personally, when I bought my house at 25 and when I graduated with my master’s degree in 2022 while maintaining a full time job for the 2.5 years I was pursuing it (and another secret thing I can’t quite talk about just yet).

Professionally, when I was a senior in college, I won a national award for a softball video that I made for my school, as a part of my internship. And also, anytime I sit down to produce a show seen by over 75,000 people on a weekly basis in the fall. I don’t know what my professional future looks like, but I’m proud of all that I’ve accomplished.

In the fandom world, I’ll just say…joining and all that came with that. I loved Red, White & Royal Blue after my first read in June so much that I HAD to find others who loved it the same way I did. So taking the leap and joining a fandom, and diving deeper into it than I ever have before in any fandom between fics and edits and FRIENDS (real, genuine, true friends) is something I am so immensely proud of because it’s completely changed my life. My therapist said just yesterday “you’re so much more social now than you were when I met you” and it’s true. Despite the physical distance between me and all of you lovely humans, I feel more loved and more supported now than ever before, and I am proud of past me for taking a chance for herself and her happiness.

Thank you again for asking, love. Thinking about all these sources of pride absolutely made my day. ❤️

[inexplicablymine]

IM ATTACKING YOU RIGHT BACK 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️ how did you get into fandom/writing fic and how do you come up with inspiration for fic ideas? is there a specific place or time of day that strikes you?

Ahem… BUCKLE IN FOLKS this is a long af answer but I have the time. So sit down with your popcorn. Lola this all your fault 🥰

How did you get into fandom: I have (brace yourselves) read in fandom for over 15 years before participating in any way shape or form outside of just enjoying it from the comfort of my screen. I read or watched something many moons ago and said I want more and tada I was initiated. But I stuck around for so long because of the sheer creativity, and talent, and ingenuity of people globally to come together and say “we want more and if you won’t give us more we will do it ourselves.”

I was that reader that lurked with guest kudos and left random inane comments from accounts you could never trace back to one place. When I mean read I mean… if I did have an AO3 account or an ffnet account during that period of time, the sheer number of works in the history would be of concern to everyone.

How did you get into writing fic: As for writing in general, I have a stack of journals I’ve kept since middle school, and an itch in my fingers that feels like I am broken if I am not writing. From the minute I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up “author” was the answer and it’s always sat at the back of my subconscious like one of those rocks in the bottom of your shoe. There are too many stories rattling around in my head that want to get out, but I took a break for 8 years of writing anything except my journal entries because the world can be a cruel place.

I started writing again just this year in June, and it was really a case of “write the things you want to see in the world,” + it’s time to get back on the horse + the thirst to participate more than just sit on the outside peering in at the inside jokes of chapter end notes and tumblr links I never clicked on. I joined a single discord, had a breakdown, and bon appetite here we are 3 months later with an actual AO3 account, a Tumblr, and a WIP list that is at least 15 works long 4 of which are 25+ chapter outlines.

(This truly was fueled by an idea I had this March for a RWRB full length mystery novel law-case thriller that I could NOT get out of my head, it now has 37 chapters outlined and is getting written this fall/winter to be posted next year)

Where does your inspiration come from: My inspiration comes from everything everywhere all at once. (Not meant to be a reference but it was too good not to use). A not so succinct list of places I’ve found inspiration:

the truth is stranger than fiction: my first day post for FirstPrince week is a “there was only one tent” situation that actually happened on a camping trip this summer. I screamed internally the entire time it was going down.

Songs: I could never write while listening to music except I absolutely will imagine storylines from it. The song Delilah by Mikolas Josef and Mark Neve is going to produce a smutty RWRB one shot of a ski weekend hookup

Co-Authoring: I am currently working on two different co-authored fics. One with @celaestis1 that was just us lovingly yelling at eachother in the DM’s until an outline was made and now every chapter we write makes me more and more giddy. The other is a RWRB x PJO au with @read-and-write- and @userd0esn0texist that is genuinely the most ridiculous fun I have ever had plotting. There is a full blown super six prophecy y’all are not ready.

Prompts: my first two works ever (ever!) were based off of the same prompt for a gift fic exchange. “Don’t look at me I thought we were getting ice cream” (you can read the results of that prompt here or here) I’m participating in @thebrownstone FirstPrince Week which has 7 prompts and @halloweenhuh with two different prompts as well. Sometimes it’s the best way to get the juices flowing.

Asking for it: if someone asks “hey is there a fic that does this” and I haven’t found it, it is really easy to think “hmmm but maybe I could write it” and then the dominos fall and I’m stuck with a problem of my own creation

Fulfilling a need or gap in the fandom: honestly, my current WIP I’m posting is an Ace!Alex fic because well… we need more ace fic in general, but also more ace fic that is happy, and positive, and loving. I love a good whump fic as much as the next person, but sometimes you just need some serious fluff. (Also my first two fics are Demi!Alex so maybe I have just stumbled into this on accident though many of my upcoming fics differ from this pattern)

I want it I got it: truly most of my WIP’s started from a “wouldn’t it be funny” idea that then morphed very quickly into an out of control spiral in my notes app.

Betas: the backbone of fandom and honestly the people who help me take incoherent ramblings and make them something readable. So many amazing ideas come from betas leaving comments in my gdocs and for that I am forever thankful

Is there a specific place or time of day that strikes you?: HA I uhhhhhh will wake up in a cold sweat at 4:37 in the morning with a fic idea, I’ll come up with one walking to work, I’ll get an idea standing in like for groceries. Genuinely my notes app is always open. All of the random ideas I get from a line, to a more fleshed out plot idea go into a note or the matching doc called “table scraps” and then if they evolve from there they get their own note or document for them.

First 🧚🧚 Nice Ask Day 🧚🧚 answer and I can’t wait to ask/answer more

[lightningboltreader]

Hey char! Since I know you have a collection, I urgently need to know your top five ronen pictures (with visual references of course)!

I belatedly present to you

5 RONEN PICS THAT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY

1. 2022 GLAAD Awards

I don't see this ever dropping out of my Top 5. The color combination of this suit and the way it compliments his coloring, the bow, the earring, the absolute glow, his perfectly tousled hair, the twinkle in his eye. Every photo from this night is a joy.

2. 2023 Hello Magazine

Did you stop breathing when this article was released? I could not believe my fucking eyes. One outrageous picture after another, we were fed! They're playful and sultry and communicate so much of the fire between their characters that I missed in Season 4. Most days this photo is my favorite because Ronen says so much with his eyes. But there isn't a bad one. The lighting is terrific, it bounces so well off his shiny suit and highlights the contrast between scruff and his pretty face. Sigh.

3. 2021 Behind the Blinds

Lace panties in the bath. That open and pensive expression under wet, slicked-back hair. Eyelashes! The collar. The shadows in blue lighting. It’s ridiculous.

4. 2023 GLAAD Awards

I get that I haven’t covered more than a spec of the photoshoot and events, not to mention the nearly naked candids and selfies. There are *many* for which I have screamed loudly. But this mf steps it up on a occasion, for *the* occasions and just wrecks my lungs. Here’s another. The hallway one is just stupid hot and I’ve included an official photo that would have paused my breathing if I was doing that well.

5. 2022 Hello Magazine

This shoot is like a walk through the botanical gardens. The colors are magnificent and compliment Ronen so well, from the green ensemble with pink roses to the yellow sweater, he is glowing. I know I use that word a lot. I don't know what else call it, he glows! Ok but it's this muted, darker, posed one that I like best. The background flowers have a victorian garden painting vibe that both compliment his colors and contrast the sexy of his sheer shirt and stance.

tada!

My apologies for spiraling off your simple ask. Despite your plea for urgency and with your clarification that full shoot representation and not just singular images could be considered, I accepted it as a MISSION that needed due diligence.

I preach to the choir, but Ronen is a gorgeous specimen. Chaise's understanding of the way color and style transform appearance is unparalleled and I have to believe his personal relationship (as portrayed publicly ofc) with Ronen infuses his ability to create an absolutely stunning ensemble that matches the occasion and the model so well. I cry.

To that end I've added a bonus photo that includes Chaise's acknowledgement of their magic. "We did it AGAIN" is clearly code for SLAYYYY. A dynamic duo.

There are others that caused gasps and shouts, tears and profanity, admonishing RONENs and more, but these are the ones that inch me closer to the Stroke Belt.

Thank you for requesting this challenge. I only heavily considered it because you have an unparalleled gift to place his lewks perfectly in the worlds you create. I enjoy that so much and cherish the opportunity to scream at you about them all.

Thanks pal. 💛

[wolfpup026]

Hello! Happy Nice Ask Day! I must say I am absolutely in love with your art. It makes me so happy every time you post. :) Just curious if you have a favorite Lokius fanfic, or what your favorite writing trope is

Hi, thank you so much!! It makes me so happy to hear that 💕

I read SO MANY fanfics it's hard to choose, but I've linked a few that I love! Some of my favorite tropes are angst, mutual pining, enemies to lovers, and AUs of all kinds!

To Keep You by TheRealMrsListing

A Good Man Is Hard To Find by @cha-melodius

Fit The Profile by @waterhorseyblues-ao3

The time of my life by @mirilyawrites

Becoming His Mobius by @insert-witty-user-name-here

Variation on a Theme by @lgwilt

Thank you for the ask! If you have a favorite fic(s) I'd love to know what it is :)

[welcometololaland]

Nice ask day! If you could erase something from the 911:LS universe, what would you erase? Could be a character, a plot line, a habit a character has, etc.

oh, this is controversial lmao. you're asking for me to get cancelled right now i can see it in your eyes! hehe i'm just kidding.

i think if i could erase something it would be gabriel's death (which would also get rid of the scene with carlos and the gun). I know some people really liked the arc and absolutely great for them, not trying to take anything away from the show, but I personally would have loved to see carlos and gabriel's complicated relationship problems resolved another way. I think they had so much growing to do together! carlos was starting to be honest with his dad and gabriel was starting to show how much he loved his son and now this! Idk I feel like we were robbed of a potentially really lovely arc.

plus, I get that the scene of unhinged carlos was supposed to be uncomfortable and I get that he was sleep deprived and not in his right mind but idk...it didn't sit right with me. especially considering carlos' profession.

people might not agree with me and that's fine. again, everyone is entitled to their opinion! this is just mine.

...also i just love benito lmao.

[kiwiana-writes]

Hello darling!! Okay, my Nice Ask Week question for you:

If you could have one scene from any of your works translated into a piece of visual media (a film scene, an artwork, a photograph), what would it be and why?

A N Y of my works? Any of my TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY works???? Peaches you're KILLING me here.

Okay I'm doing one for Schitt's Creek AND one for RWRB because... well, because no one can stop me. Neener neener, etc

For Schitt's Creek, I swear to y'all I have never lamented my absolute and complete lack of art skills more than I did when writing the fic where Patrick is a butter tart and David is a nanaimo bar and they fall in love and also kiss(??? somehow????) If there is any creation of mine that needs to exist as visual artwork in the world, it's that one. For sure.

For RWRB, if it's only one scene and not a full work, I'm gonna go with the thirst trap Henry accidentally sends Alex here. Y'all have NO IDEA how long I looked for a pic that felt like what I was imagining to actually use in the skin before I gave up lmao.
