#ok now that im far enough into the tags i need to say. ough. i am. feeling EMOTIONS over this

[randomgooberness]

I've gone through the entire hlvraifm tag and also hit my post limit for today, so like. I have more questions.

Does Mind ever have to deal with the knowledge that he's completely cut off from his original universe? How does he feel about that?

What does Mind think of Forzen lmao

Do the science team minus Gordon have any particularly prominent opinions about Mind?

if Gordon ever heard about Mind's original thought that he was some sort of replacement cover up, what would he think?

Do they have a "Pirate Episode" 👉👈

RUBS MY HANDS TOGETHER. HOKAY.

Does Mind ever have to deal with the knowledge that he's completely cut off from his original universe? How does he feel about that?

@shineyfish's answer:

Ough. I don't think the reality of the situation really sets in until later acts at least for Mind, but I have been thinking about him being Cut Off for days now and not had the words to describe it. I think it'll hit first in like. Superficial ways for him. Just a realization that damn. He doesn't have his knife collection anymore. that slowly leads into oh dear god I can never go back. It'll be VERY fun to work out the kinks of this when we can >:3

What does Mind think of Forzen lmao @shineyfish's answer:

GOD. FORZEN. I don't think mind would like forzen once they all meet him I'm so sorry forzen fans. He's too similar to Benrey for him (honestly I think just talking like him would be enough to set him off at this point) + the whole Boot Boy Thing. At least Gordon's also kinda "KILL" about him too so at least mind is not alone <3

My answer:

WE ARE SO CLOSE TO GETTING TO WHEN FORZEN FIRST SHOWS UP. IM SO EXCITED HES GONNA FUCKING HATE THIS GUY

Do the science team minus Gordon have any particularly prominent opinions about Mind?

My answer:

OUGH GOOD QUESTION. For now I'll just answer what their opinions prolly are by the end of it. Dr. Coomer sees him as an angrier, smaller Gordon- but throughout the plot, his AI can read that Mind is supposed to be the player character...but he also learns he's not. So he doesn't target him very much but his AI is still fucky around him. Bubby respects Mind, for the most part. He likes that he stands his ground and uses his brain- he sees a lot of his younger self in the lad. However, he is absolutely still mean to him.

Tommy likes mean people, but thinks Mind can be a bit much sometimes- though that's just how it is when you're friends with people like that. He likes being around the guy for the most part, and is glad that he's there for Gordon. He likes to screw with him sometimes(the whole science team does, he's almost as easy of a target as Gordon). Benrey thinks Mind is an asshole and its really funny. He likes to screw with him but he also thinks his reactions aren't as funny as Gordons, and he doesn't like how much he rushes to just shooting him. Build up the bit more, man. C'mon. if Gordon ever heard about Mind's original thought that he was some sort of replacement cover up, what would he think?

My answer:

He's only heard a few hints on the situation so far in the RP, but honestly, if Mind came clean about it- Gordon would ignore it to focus on What Do You Mean You're Also Gordon Freeman. If they figured that out, Gordon would NOT fucking blame him for coming to that conclusion LMAO. Like I think he'd straight up say "Ok yeah dude I'd think that too. What the fuck."

Do they have a "Pirate Episode" 👉👈

@shineyfish's answer:

AVAST, TH' PIRATE EPISODE BE INBOUND. I CANNAE WAIT FOR TH' PIRATE EPISODE. My answer: I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED TO RP THIS. IT'S COMING UP THIS ACT IT'S GONNA BE SO FUCKING FUNNY I NEED IT SO BAD. Gordon might try to join him but be really bad at it

20 questions for fic authors

i saw ur tag in the morning when i woke up nessa and then i completely forgot. BUT THANK U FOR THINKING OF ME!!!! i don't really want to tag anyone bc its a bit scary. but eros and duo if u see this... perhaps this might interest u to do it

1. How many fics do you have on ao3?

46 ! and maybe like 20 which existed on ao3 at some point but got deleted by oj for one reason or another.

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

96 365... the oj does not write long things

3. What fandoms do you write for?

mostly project moon these days. and mostly limbus bc (inferno pink grabs me by the throat)

if i didnt feel like it was pointless id probably write for a larger variety of stuff bc the oj brain is full of self insert stuff. but it doesnt rly matter

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

the wine on your skin (137) gonna shrimp myself over that one bc it was my first and probably shittiest smut. but its smut in a large fandom (fire emblem) so it attracted people i guess

yeah dante's fine. what do you mean they're at -45 sanity you're lying (132) IM GLAD PEOPLE LIKED THAT ONE it was a lot of fun. and nice people cared about a dante centric fic with abnos:) (but also still mad as hell over that thing with the guy taking one of the concepts and clearly saying it was from another fic while categorically refusing to actually name it lol)

do NOT wake the manager up. YES they fell asleep on the job but they're REAL comfy right now do NOT disturb them (117) i can't tell if people get attracted by the funny titles or bc they see there are more characters besides faust and dante. bc i know people are NOT coming for them.

i'll always be there (104) a short manuleth fic... im glad there are manuleth likers out there. that professor loves that doctor ok

and they'll fall in love with her again and again (88) people liked the exploration of IDs... its kinda debunked now but it was still fun

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

I USUALLY DO unless i find the comment weird. but if its rly weird i usually straight up delete it lol but otherwise i reply to comment if only to thank people for taking the time to leave one. its a tough world out there for attention starved writer

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

id argue the angstiest i have is one of my deleted ones where i straight up killed a char and the fic was all about everyone else's grief it was depressing lol otherwise theres the obvious silver snow edeleth angst but its kinda whatever. the backward clock chapter of the dante abnos fic was rly good imo. the nothing there one too. the inferno pink confession fic too.... ough...

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

SCORCHED GIRL & ANGELA FIC GOT ME FUCKED UP MAN. FOUND FAMILY BETWEEN THE FUCKED UP LITTLE GIRL AND THE ANDROID

8. Do you get hate on fics?

nah. thank god i dont i think id nuke my ao3 on the spot i already explode over weird comment

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

i smack my faust and dante dolls together

i used the be rly scared of smut now im a free little oj. it gets horny sometimes but also im rly vanilla so its usually very sweet.

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

i dont. i should sometime though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW I THINK ID NEVER WRITE AGAIN OTHERWISE

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nay

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

no and i dont think i could oj needs to write her thing in peace. art&fic stuff are rly fun though.. oj likes when duo art inspires her or oj text inspires duo...

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

ALL TIME IS A TOUGHIE the ships come and go guys cmon. rn inferno pink is all the rage though. and me with all the ladies i like

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

funnily enough i dont rly have wips bc i only start things when im REALLY motivated and i usually dont write things long enough that id drop them mid way. so none

16. What's your writing strengths?

being straight to the point maybe. idk. i mean my whole style is about short sentences and descriptions and just giving enough to get the feelings and vibes and idk. like i dont spend a paragraph talking about the weather thats not my style.

i like to think im good at sounding like chars too. if its the chars i like at least. or i hope at least. maybe its all in my head.

17. What's your writing weaknesses?

im rly bad at writing things that require more description... stuff that i cant just move on from or write by sprinkling lil actions between dialogues... like say. a fight scene. im rly bad at it

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

i mean if the char actually speaks in another language usually and mixes it with the translated language or whatever sure. itd make sense i have no issue with it

19. First fandom you wrote for?

long ago i wrote stuff for shin megami tensei 4. but i think even before that i wrote lil danganronpa drabbles that never got posted anywhere. also technically i wrote a story about vocaloids for an english assignment in middle school. does that count

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

idk if its a favorite but im like. rly fond of "hello doctor, it's me again. i missed you." bc its the fic i probably put the most effort in. longest and multi chapters and like. id started writing it two years prior to when i finished it and id written like. a chapter and a half on paper during breaks in college and never did anything with it. and two years later when i was sorting my stuff i had these papers and wanted to throw them away so i was like ill type this out on puter at least before that. and then i ended up motivating myself to finish it and i was rly proud of it... oj is still rly sad it didnt get that much attention in the end.

otherwise oj rly likes her angela & abno fics:) shes happy with them. and also stuff ive written for duo! i think its cute and i had a lot of fun with them
