Yello

I just found your fic series yesterday and I have been seriously enjoying it. I mean, not the psychological trauma part, but just how well written it is. I love how your mind works.

But no spoilers! I read Miner's eulogy, but I've only gotten to chapter 7 of Clipped Wings.

Anyway, I came here to say that since this is definitely before the movie and will definitely affect how the timeline of the show coincides with everything, I've come to see just how much of the movie actually does intertwine with the story, and how it affects how I view some of the scenes now.

Of course, I have no idea when he's gonna get better enough to where he's gonna be fighting alongside them on missions again. And the ark with Shredder and the Krang is definitely coming soon in the timeline of their lives right now. Buuuut, I do expect for us to maybe have some "just cause" because there is no way that they're gonna be leaving the lair anytime soon unless for just for getting stuff for Donnie. I mean, do we really think they're worried about the FOOT CLAN right now? We can act like all that is many months or many years from now because Donnie is definitely not gonna be okay by then.

So, anyway, whenever any of that ends up happening in this world, I like to think about the Krang bus and Technodrome scenes from the movie. In both instances, Donnie loses his battle shell. He protects Mikey with it and has to lose it to be able to control the ship with his bare back. Which, like, ow? Seeing the movie through the eyes of this story, there are definitely a lot of places that just would not exist because of the condition of Donnie. But god.

The extra worry that Mikey has about Donnie's shell? The protectiveness? The question of "are you sure?" before he takes it off?

The part where him and Mikey are trapped in the Turtle Tank? The utter terror on Donnie's face, in the fetal position, the fear of being crushed and suffocated, just like in the closet...

When Raph comes out of that cocoon swinging at Leo? The same way he did at Donnie? Donnie having to his big brother in that state again, with pure rage in his eyes? Rage at his family? Raph not being in control of himself? DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TO DONNIE TO LEO???

MY GOD

There's probably many other parallels and little things that I haven't thought of yet, but that's what first comes to me. I don't know if you already realized the things and even wrote some things based off of the information we have from the movie. Anyway, I just wanted to vent that out. This au has me in a chokehold. Kudos ❤️

THE MOVIEEEEEE YEAHHHH there's been a bunch of talk about how the movie would go in CC since i have no plans to cover it, but hrhghhh i could really see some of those scenes recontextualized by what donnie goes through here. although personally i think raph being kraangified would hit him a lot harder than it would donnie, who wouldn't have the same kind of proximity to it. because raph has a lot of trauma from what he ended up doing to donnie, and doing it to ANOTHER one of his little brothers would SERIOUSLY mess him up. some people have asked if the choking in particular was an intentional parallel and my answer is actually nope, it was just an extension of the whole uhhh canary/breath metaphor, that and all the damage to his chest (even when raph let go he couldn't breathe!!!). but it would hit a lot harder with the movie's events in mind, its the second time raph would do that to one of his brothers!! oh my god he would be so fucking guilty!!!!!!! man...

someone hassss written their interpretation of a part of it, with the idea that donnie's the one to jump into the prison dimension because it works better than leo arc-wise >:3 (hi seasidefantasies im plugging your fic again. still insane about it) you dont have to be caught up to CW in order to read it, it doesnt contain any major spoilers!!! oooh you wanna read it so bad oooooh (hypnotizing you)

honestly since CW is planned to end on new years 2022 i kind of see everything in BN:NY and forward just being pushed back quite a while, not for any huge canon reasons it just makes more sense logically. since everything around the S2 finale/with the shredder just kinda HAPPENS to them, i could see BN:NY happening at pretty much any point they're all out of the lair together lmao, and once some stuff works out i dont think donnie will want to stay cooped up forever, he's gonna be kind of desperate to be "normal" for the sake of making his family feel better even to his own detriment i feel. i cant say anything too big about the changes because there's some stuff with ninpo that hasnt been revealed in the story, but ultimately i dont think it'd be all that different!! the destruction of the lair would be more cathartic than anything else at least lmao

Hi there!!! I hope you’re having a nice day :3

I have had some insane sanji agere angst fics （MYLTIPLE) brewing in my mind and i NEED to express them.

So uhm rambles ^_^

So like. Okay one of them is like everybody is super duper busy working on projects, except sanji. He like finished all his stuff, and he even tried to help out (but again, everyone was busy and didnt rlly want him around) so he ended up going into the aquarium to regress, and as he does, A GROUP OF PIRATES INVADES THE SHIP!! And obviously he isnt able to help because he’s so far down in his regression, but who knows that? Since no body like, helped him with his regression gear or anyrhing, other than the fact he was in his prime regression spot and had coloring supplies (that probably got moved around from the rocking of the ship), he looks… like he’s not regressex. So someone (i ws planning on having zoro !!) quickly goes downstairs to get him and then he has to fight, but he struggles alot. Which is obviously weird for their chef?? But regardless maybe he’s just tired.. so they leave it be and he ends up getting like injured a little during his fights, and it MESSES with him. Loke he goes all panicky and like worries about being a bad crewmate once the fight is over, and he is like freaking out. And he has like a mini meltdown (which he eventually gets found by nami or sum anf she puts the peices together nd then helps him calm down ^_^!!)

-im in the works of writing that one rn 💔💔

AND THENNN!! Anither one (bc my brain loves baby sanji angst) is him regressing while on an island, because he cant find anybidy wlse (which usually doesnt happen but it can.) and he gets all nervous bc suddenly he’s like zoro and cant find his way back,, and he again, has a freakout after getting lost. But uh. Zoro also happpens to be lost and finds him and totally does not get lost on the way back to the ship

-I got lost in a target with my boyfriend yesterday so uh. Thats where that one came from ^_^!…

Nd then last one i promise. (Sanji sickfic!!) Sanji wakes up really badly ill and in a lower headspace than the rest of the crew has like EVER seen him. So while theyr all struggling to figure out how to take care of the suffering baby, they are also trying to figure out hiw he even got sick??? Like he’s not human how could this happen… anyway baby cries alot and caregivers are trying to figure out like how to help. !!!

YAYYY RAMBLING OVER!!! Thank you for listening :3!

Hi hi!

Oooh bring on the angst!! >:3

~Oooh I love that so much! Adding a couple of ideas going through my head right now, don’t know how much you’ve already written- but anyways. The added angst that Zoro, or whoever goes to get Sanji, is stressed from the attack and end up snapping, especially when Sanji is trying to stutter out something- (the fact that he’s small no doubt)

~And Sanji just assumes that the crew knew he was regressed and just didn’t care. He wasn’t wanted around earlier, maybe they’re realizing he’s a burden. I think this comes partially because Luffy has a huge thing about not fighting when regressed- he’s the captain, it’s his job to do the dangerous stuff while the kiddos stay safe, so having to fight regressed threw him off even more. Also just cause Sanji with insecurity issues.

~Welp, at least we can be lost together <- Zoro probably

~Okay but it’s so scary being regressed and not knowing where you are or where the people you were with went to. Especially because you feel like a kid, but it’s not as though anyone is going to stop and try and help like you might with an actual kid, so you’re just stuck wandering.

~Also again, adding in Sanji’s own insecurities, that even when he knows it’s irrational, there is always that thought telling him that the crew left him behind on purpose

~Baby crying because this is one of the few times he’s gotten sick. Bonus angst would be to add Usopp regressing as well. I speak from experience, but seeing someone sick after loosing a parent to an illness is very triggering. Even if it’s just like, a common cold. It does not help even knowing that rationally. So now the crew has a sick baby on their hands and a sobbing toddler who’s not even sure what he’s so upset about.

~I have a fic started that is similar to this concept, revolving Usopp after Nami got sick, and then again involving his past before joining the crew, so yeah, I really like the idea :3

In fact I loved all of your ideas! I am rooting for you so much to write out all of these ideas! You’ve got this!!!

Mario Simulator (Joke Fic)

Chapter 4

Warnings: Attempted Murder/Murder, Brainwashing, Kidnapping

Ships: Marware, BatteryAcid (Mr Puzzles x Orange Juice)

Tomorrow is another day,

and the day after that is another day, and the day after that is another day, and the day after that is another day.

SMG3 repeated this to himself as the days went by, trying to real himself out of going insane, but it only further contributed to his insanity.

What started as a couple of failures of plans led to thousands, no billions. Why was he even doing this in the first place? He honestly couldn't ever remember due to how long it had been since that fateful kidnapping and blackmailing.

At some point, they tried matchmaking Orange Juice to someone else but unlucky to them, they chose that Box Club Leader which did not end up well. He still had nightmares from that piece of cardboard sealed in a jar of orange juice. That club leader was a freak... and not in a good way.

They also tried framing the object head for theft but turns out trying to find the correct bag to place it in in a flood of the same black bags was extremely difficult and they ended up getting Boopkins suspended for it. Eh, he was annoying anyway.

He glanced over to his partner in crime, who was violently stabbing a photograph of Orange Juice, his face getting more and more deranged and ecstatic. The bed underneath him was scarred due to the slashes and stabbing.

They were in SMG3's bedroom right now, which acted as their plotting room as they couldn't risk going in the broom closet in fear of being caught.

He sighed, he hoped this would have ended by now. There wasn't much else to try to plan except...

"Hey, Mario?" Mario turned to face SMG3, his face quickly changing from murderous to curious. "What if we try brainwashing?"

"Oooh that sounds very good! But how would we be able to do that?" Mario asked, using his singular brain cell for once.

"Hmmm... I think I have just the thing..." SMG3 said, searching his bedroom until he found a singular remote.

"The YouTube Remote?" Mario asked, tilting his head.

"No, you silly, it's a different remote. I bought it on the black market once. I think the seller called it the "Edit" remote or something like that, I don't know the seller was extremely sketchy and I couldn't even see their face." SMG3 explained, showing off the object in his hand which was black with yellow accents.

"It can basically edit things so I can presume it can overwrite people's memories". He tossed the remote in the air, trying to act cool but missed catching it, leading to it falling on the ground. Luckily, it didn't break.

"Can I use it, pretty please? I swear I won't mess up!" Mario battered his long eyelashes as he went into puppy eye mode.

"Fine. But only after I explain to you how we're going to do it." SMG3 stated, picking up the remote once again and dusting it off.

"Okie dokie!" Mario said, his face excited as he hoped this plan would actually work this time.

"First of all, since it's the whole school assembly tomorrow we'll hack into the school computers and create a live stream of you using the remote and saying what you will overwrite. After that, we will stop the live stream and erase all evidence that we hacked into the school system!"

"Before that, we'll lock Orange Juice somewhere so he can't go to assembly so he can feel so much pain when he finds out everyone hates him"

"And after that, I finally get to be with my true love!" Mario added on, dreaming of his future.

"Yup, and I don't have to do this anymore." SMG3 sighed, grateful that this might end soon

"Thank you so much S-M-G-3!! I wouldn't have done it without you!!" Mario exclaimed, hugging SMG3 a bit too tightly as SMG3 felt his bones crack inside of him.

"Yeah, you wouldn't have" SMG3 patted Mario's head as he ignored how much pain he was in right now.

"All we need to do now is wait for tomorrow," SMG3 said as he lay on his bed, Mario still stuck to him as he felt himself fall into a soft slumber.

The sun beamed on Mario and the Mario recolour as the day approached forward. With both of them waking up shortly after, SMG3 ran down the plan to Mario again, knowing that he probably forgot again.

After they both got ready for the day, they rushed out to the school entrance, earlier than usual as they needed the time to get this done right. They could not deal with another failure.

The first step was getting Orange Juice locked somewhere. The best choice was the Broom Closet as it was soundproof so he couldn't scream for help. Not many students were in the school right now which helped with not getting caught and one of those students was Orange Juice himself as he liked helping get the teachers ready for the school day.

What a goody-two-shoes, Mario thought as he walked in the direction of the object head in question who was right now talking to one of the science teachers, Dr Robotnik. Or was it Dr Eggman? Mario could never remember any of the teachers' names, let alone this one.

"Excuse me Orange Juice," Mario said, butting into the two's conversation, putting on his best innocent act. "I was told by one of the maths teachers that you were needed in her classroom to help out away new supplies with her."

"Oh really? Well, why don't you show me the way? Sorry about this Dr Robotnik, I need to deal with this first" Orange Juice politely said, his charisma and charm leaking out of him like a disgusting pest. He disgusted Mario with how nice and kind he was. As if he was perfect.

Mario, still having his act of sweet innocence on, led the object-headed teenager to his doom, the broom closet. The door was already open and all he needed to do was to push Orange Juice in and lock the door with the only keys it had.

"I don't remember the Broom Closet being open at this tim-" Before Orange Juice could finish his sentence, Mario shoved him in and locked the door quickly before he skipped off to find where SMG3 was.

The second step was hacking into the school computers which SMG3 had already done by the time Mario had found where he was, in the empty classroom Meggy was forced to be in during her Catering classes.

Now all they had to do was wait for assembly.

30 minutes had passed and assembly had just started. SMG3 pressed the record button and Mario got in place ready to say his lines. The spaghetti-loving man pressed the overwrite button on the remote before anyone could do anything about the hacking attack.

"Orange Juice is a horrible horrible person. He has cheated on Mr Puzzles countless of times and kicks puppies for fun. He enjoys content farms and has made several in the past. He also doesn't like Chappell Roan which is very homophobic of him."

The live stream then quickly ended as SMG3 erased any evidence of them tapering with the school system.

They both hoped this worked as if it didn't, they would be in so much trouble.

It has worked. Everyone hated Orange Juice. He was the talk of the school gossip. Mr Puzzles, dramatically broke up with the object head as he cursed the ever-living shit out of the confused man.

But Mario wasn't finished. No. Sure, he could just be with Mr Puzzles now but that wasn't enough for him. He needed to kill that disgusting glass of orange juice and show him that he should have never messed with the Mario. Ever.

So he waited until the day was over and everyone had gone home, even the teachers. Expect for Orange Juice who was in detention for the entire day, even the night.

Freshly sharpened knife in hand, he walked in a stalker-like motion to the door of the detention room. His prey sitting nervously at a lone desk.

His heart beat loudly as he slowly turned the handle of the door, knife behind his back.

"Hello Orange Juice~" Mario said sinisterly, which actually did sound sinister for once as the writer could afford a voice actor. Though since it's in text, you can't tell.

"Oh uh hi? Um, is my detention over?" The teenager asked, looking as if this was his first experience of detention ever.

"Hmm... I'm not sure..." Mario stated, his free hand pointing to his cheek. "Your life sure will be soon" He revealed the knife from his back, his free hand stroking it masochistically.

"W-What?" Orange Juice said, startled and afraid as Mario walked slowly closer to him, menacingly.

"G-get away from me you... You psycho!" The object-headed teenager exclaimed as he pushed the table in front of him to the ground in an attempt to distract Mario and ran towards the door of the detention room and into the halls.

"Oh how I love the ones that run, they give such a thrilling chase..." Mario stated lovingly, as he started stalking the halls, waiting until Orange Juice had run out of energy or into a dead end so he could do the final blow.

Orange Juice ran, ran for his life. His day was not going great so far, to say the least. Firstly he was locked into a broom closet, then everyone started hating him for no reason and he got detention. Now he's getting chased by a sociopath. What's next? Is he going to get indoctrinated into a cult? Wouldn't surprise him at this point!

He turned the corner, his breath rapid and uneven. He had to find an exit. Why was this school so big? It was like hell trying to find a decent exit at this rate.

He suddenly tripped on a shard of glass while running, what would be his left cheek shattered as he fell. Glitch, now he was losing blood? This was not a good time to do so! Especially since that rapid animal is chasing after him.

Picking himself up quickly, he ran and ran, his left hand stopping the orange juice from spilling onto the floor any longer.

Back to Mario, he was drooling like a dog with rabies, his excitement and anger increasing by the second as he searched and searched for that man stealing man.

He dug his knife into the walls of the building, the scratchiness making him feel even more alive. By the Glitch Productions above, this made him feel so much more alive than ever before. The adrenaline, the prey versus hunter mentality, the chase. It felt all so good.

After so long, Mario finally caught up to Orange Juice who had locked himself into a corner with nowhere to run to.

"Looks like the mouse has nowhere to go? Hm?" He asked, his knife glistening in the singular light illuminating this area.

"What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?" Orange Juice's voice was full of panic and prey instincts.

"You don't know? How naïve.." He pushed Orange Juice further into the corner, knife pointing to the throat of the fellow teenager whose breath hitched at the action.

"Maybe I'll be your saint this time and tell you myself." The knife dug into the object-head's throat slightly, the sour blood peeking itself through and onto the floor.

Mario kicked Orange Juice into the wall, his foot firmly planted and keeping the teenager in place. While doing this he took his knife away from the other's throat and grabbed both of his hands on it.

"This wouldn't have ended this way if you had never stepped in the way of me being with my one true love, Mr Puzzles"

He made a downward motion with the knife towards Orange Juice's heart and...

EPISODE 6: LIGHTNING

In which I feel things about Glorio

We start the show with no major losses or harm from the ship crash and, in typical Toriyama gag manga fashion, the companion piece to the fart joke, a poop joke. And not just any poop joke, a poop joke that helps the plot by conveniently keeping Goku out of sight when the Gendarmerie stops by.

We do have confirmation about the collars being third Demon World exclusive and Panzy having one past her scarf. The Gendarmerie doesn't seem to bat an eye at this being the princess, but they at least don't charge her any taxes.

Goku's hair is "too resilient" to be pulled back out of its normal shape- there goes the ponytail Goku dream.

Back on the road (well, sky), we get some casual lore talk. We're still keeping the Kais/Glinds being born from trees- which Goku takes as Shin being basically a plant and that's why he only seems to drink and not eat.

Arinsu, Shin, and Degesu (in that order) are all from the same tree and therefore siblings- and they free pick their gender! Love to see it!

Shin is the only of the trio to not stay in the Demon World due to differing ambitions. Considering his name feels like an odd one out, he might have changed it after leaving.

The gang camps in a "safe" cave for the night and Panzy has a cozy looking centipede sleeping bag. After a nice campfire dinner of millipede pate and Glorio continuing to be dodgy as hell when it comes to answering simple questions, our cool emo boy steps out to take a call...

AND HE'S WORKING FOR ARINSU

Like, I knew he was suspicious day 1 but wow. Why does my assassin theory sound more and more likely?

However, there's no time for rest! Turns out a very hungry cow- I mean, minotaur is lurking in the cave. Glorio takes charge, but Goku seems a little skeptic that he's up for the task and becomes curious about just how strong Glorio is...

Dang it, Goku, I thought you were making a recovery in Fight-holics Anonymous. He's even doing half a Frieza deal by offering to fight with only one hand.

Glorio's pulling off some fancy magic spells- the one-finger beam, what I thought was almost going to be a Death Ball, you can't keep doing this to me, man. Some electric energy styles too

My squishing on unusual Dragon Ball characters has found a new target, officially.

Meanwhile, the minotaur is feeling like chopped liver and we get a full glimpse of Super Saiyan- with how long he was yelling, I could've sworn he was about to go for Super Saiyan 3, which would've been absolutely gutsy considering he doesn't even know how 1 fully works in his small state.

Apparently, there's something suspicious about Glorio's magic and strength that Shin's not telling us... Oooh....

Now, we get a quick cut back to Team B! Bulma's work is done on the ship- and just in time, Vegeta's getting antsy.

However, I knew something was up when A) they were so sure this was how they were getting there after the show made a whole point about Hybis and B) Bulma didn't seem to be coming along, even though she's in the opening and ending. It seems that going to the Demon Realm wasn't in her initial plan, so she's likely getting roped along when they do make the journey.

And sure enough, the spaceship hits an unexpected snag! Don't worry guys, a silly little guy is on his way to help!

Looking at the next episode preview, we don't get many clues, but it seems we might be getting more lore on the collars!

EPISODES WITHOUT KNOWING HANVI'S WHEREABOUTS: 6

Honestly, I'm just keeping this counter for the bit and this feeling that I'm going to be sorry for removing it if we get a random cameo for no reason out of the blue.

Helloooo, I'm K and I'm here to ship myself with my silly blorbos! I have a tendency to fall for lots of characters very quickly, leading to my ship list being. Long. But believe me when I say that I love every single one of my F/Os!

I have some trouble telling platonic and romantic attraction apart, so you might see characters shift between romantic and platonic ships at random. Don't worry about it lol

I am 100% okay with sharing! Doubles please interact! I love seeing more people gush about my sillies!

Other Info:

I'm a premed psych student! Currently taking a break so I can find a steady source of income :p

I'm a PNW resident so you might see me reference that occasionally. Especially Oregon. Possibly the Trail Blazers, tho I keep my basketball hyperfix mostly to my main or Insta

I'm disabled, with hEDS, POTS, MCAS, and fallen arches. I mention it often

I'm very mentally ill which impacts how I think about things! It also influences my ships. If you see me talking about a relationship in past tense as if it happened IRL or if you see me devolve into paranoia, that's why! I'm also psychotic so I might mention hallucinations sometimes

Which F/Os I talk about the most tends to be related to my dominant hyperfixation/special interest at that time. But I still think about and love the rest of my F/Os!

Some of my relationships might look a little possessive or toxic, with me at the receiving end of that. It's just for play and 100% safe, sane, and consensual :3 I just like it like that. It's only a few tho

Please be nicey to me, I am extremely paranoid and overreact to things easily. I'm trying to work on it. But if there's something you need to warn me about or correct me on, please be kind

Every character I ship with is confirmed 18+ or likely 18+ AND HAS BEEN SHOWN IN AN 18+ DESIGN CANONICALLY. I do not romantically ship with minors EVER. Any minors you see are either platonic or familial

I headcanon every single one of my F/Os as some flavor of queer and the VAST majority as some flavor of trans! Doesn't make sense for the time period or what we've been shown? Don't care :) they're also usually neurodivergent and disabled

This isn't a NSFW blog but there is a possibility I might rarely reblog suggestive posts or say suggestive things. These will be tagged with "suggestive", "nsfm", "nsft", and "minors dni"

I might jokingly say I hate my F/Os, I wish they'd explode, I'll kill them, etc. These aren't actually out of malice, I just think they're silly :]

I ship with my own OCs too!

I also often ship with a character's AU versions along with canon versions! They're all different in my mind :)

My F/O list isn't done being formatted, give me a little time and then I'll link it :3

Anti self-dx (speaking as someone who has only professional diagnoses, it is HARD to get them. And they can sometimes make life harder. Let people research their symptoms. I never would have gotten assessments if I didn't research a little first)

Support cringe culture (as in bullying people you think are cringe, not being like "I'm cringe but I'm free". Obv I support that)

That's all I can think of for now but this list is subject to change

20 Questions for Writers!

Thanks for the tag @writtenonreceipts!! <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

21 and counting 👀

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

226,575

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily for Throne of Glass, but I'm always open to writing for more fandoms :)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Chef Rowan

Fly The Black Flag

Until Proven Guilty

Wild Proposal Stories

Quarter After One

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes!! Comments are one of the best parts of being a writer/creator and it makes me happy to both receive and give them.

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

Probably Late-Night Dances, which involves MCD���🫣 or really any of the handful of fics I've written where a character doesn't make it.

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

Oooh maybe Fly The Black Flag? I kind of borrowed the ending from POTC but changed some things, and a little while later, I was able to write a sort of epilogue/outtake where Rowaelin have a child, and it was super fluffy and cute and heartwarming.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No? I don't think so, this community is genuinely wonderful and so supportive :))

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

Yes I do, hehe. I've only ever written F/M explicit content

10. Do you write crossovers?

Well......sort of. I like to sneak in characters from the other SJM books if it's possible and if it works, and once upon a time I tried to write a crossover fic that has since been abandoned 😂. But if it's ever in the cards, I'd love to properly write one!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Also nope, but that would be so cool

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

Possibly 👀👀👀 @mariaofdoranelle

14. What is your all-time favorite ship?

Rowan x Aelin. They will never not be an OTP.

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

Probably The Only Option, which has a whole plan/outline and some notes for the plot but will probably never be anything more than what it is. This also happens to be the fic that sparked my main idea for an original novel, so it might never be more of a fanfic, idk.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I honestly don't know lol. I think I can write family dynamics/kids pretty well, but I grew up with a bunch of siblings so it's kind of easier for me to write sibling and family dynamics. I'm also the proud (?) owner of an inner angst monster that I call Frederick, and he's very very good at having ideas for making situations painful 🤭

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Definitely consistency. Even in oneshots, I'm prone to forgetting what I wrote earlier or if they're linked oneshots/in the same setting or world, I tend to forget or change details about the setting, which just bothers me SO much. And don't even get started on how horribly inconsistent I am in long fics 😭😭 like, I'm a hella planner, but somehow I'll be rereading old parts of a draft (hello, Until Proven Guilty) and realize that there are big glaring gaps from the earlier parts to the later parts and just cry over the plot holes.

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

Love it! If the language is significant to a certain character, particularly to their background/development, I love to see dialogue in another language. Wish I spoke better in the other languages that I sort of know (Spanish/tiny bit of Italian) so I could incorporate it into writing. I think it's also super super amazing how some writers can create original languages.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Bloody Jack Throne of Glass! Started writing and never stopped lol ;)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

i had a whole lot of fun writing DILF Rowan, which came from a prompt. also really really enjoyed The Assassin and the Princess, which is a sort of alternate canon reimagining.

some tags if you want: @mariaofdoranelle @elentiyawhitethorn @tomtenadia @house-of-galathynius @rowanaelinn and anyone else who wants to!!!

[shrinkthisviolet]

3, 5, 10, 12, 21, 27, 30, 37, 47, 50 and 63 for the fanfic ask game please!!

3: on a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy incorporating romance into the average story?

Oooh this is a hard one. In regards to fics that are not inherently romantic…maybe a 7? I’m not averse to romantic subplots, and I do like to incorporate them when they fit, but I don’t like to play into “pair the spares” (a trope I dislike), especially since my heart leans gen more often than romance in general. So for the romance subplots I have planned, I always want to make sure they have bones and some kind of role to play in the story, not just “oh wouldn’t they be cute?” I have prompt fills for that latter purpose 😅 and if I fall enough in love with a ship, they can get their own longer fic focusing on them and their adorbs. Quite a few of my faves have!

5: have you ever made a playlist about something you were writing as an elaborate means to procrastinate when you could have been actually writing and if yes drop a link, son

Ofc! Morgan AU, Lucy AU, CK AU :D

(Amelia also has one even though I'm not sure if I'll ever write her story in fic form. So does the Rey & Luke time travel AU that is currently a backburner WIP)

10: at what point in the process do you come up with titles, and how easy or hard is that for you?

In the beginning! The difficulty varies, but I need to have a title - there’s only been a couple fics where I’ve been able to start writing without one. Even if the title changes over the course of writing (which has happened and probably will happen in the future too), having a placeholder there is necessary for me 9 times out of 10.

12: Answered here!

21: pick a writer to co-write a book with and tell us what you’d write about

Oooh well ofc I exclusively write fanfic, and it’s not published, but if I have to pick a published author to write something with…maybe Matthew Stover or Claudia Gray! Their characterizations are compelling, and Stover’s writing is so evocative and moving. They both do character studies really well. Claudia Gray absolutely shines in how she writes Leia (of her books, I have only read Princess of Alderaan so far, but I've also heard good things about Bloodline), and her worldbuilding of Alderaan is so great. Meanwhile, Matthew Stover manages to imbue every character with more depth, which is super impressive...and I especially love how he writes the Obi-Wan & Anakin bond as so strong and loving! You don't see a lot of platonic relationships written in a manner equal to romantic relationships in terms of depth of love, it's so wonderful. His ROTS novelization is canon as far as I'm concerned (Disney may say it's Legends, but like...it's a book adaptation of a canon movie. It's canon too)

I’d love to write a character study with either of them :D

In regards to fanfic authors (because ofc we are also writers in our own right)...it depends! My irl bestie is someone I'd co-write a fic with any day if we ever wanted to (we have tossed an idea back and forth lol and maybe one day we will actually sit down and co-write it). And if any of my mutuals (you included) wanted to have a go at it, I'd be open to it! Though...I would probably make for a pretty challenging co-writer since I write so inconsistently 😅 the grind of real life never stops, unfortunately.

27: do you share rough drafts or do you wait until it’s all polished? And who do you share them with?

With my irl bestie who knows that I write fanfic (and also writes it herself), yes! Especially since she and I are super invested in each other’s AUs and fics (if you’ve been on enough of my fanfics…easy enough to tell who she is lol). Apart from her, the extent of my sharing is via snippets on Tumblr...or with mutuals if I find an avenue to bring it up 😅

30: most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you

“It’s not about how many times you fall, but about how many times you get back up.” As someone who has fallen quite a number of times, I take comfort in this sentiment. One day, I will get to where I want to be, even if I stumble and fall a lot on the way there. And once I do, it'll make for a great story!

37: when creating characters, what comes first: appearance, backstory, motivation, personality, something else?

For the most part, appearance. An OC doesn’t feel real to me until I can put a face (and/or voice, the two usually go hand in hand) to them, mostly because being able to imagine them in my head helps with developing their backstory, motivation, personality, etc.

Generally the sequence is: basic premise (daughter of/sister of/what have you, basically the elevator pitch, the impetus for why I came up with this OC) -> name —> faceclaim -> backstory/motivation. And their personality makes itself known as I develop them.

Now ofc this is not always the case (see: Marina, whose faceclaim took a while, so she did get a bit of development in the meanwhile. Though I’m holding on to it cautiously for now until I see 2x10 and can figure out how that’ll influence/change things). But it’s usually how I go about creating OCs! I’ve grown into more of a visual person over the years, generally speaking.

47: what story are you most proud of?

Ooooh currently I think it’s maybe i could be (all you ever dreamed). I’ve always been bugged by how Barry in Flashpoint basically stalked Iris for months and then stole her wallet to have a reason to talk to her, so fixing that meet-cute to be an actual meet-cute was very cathartic :D and letting Iris make the first move too! Flashpoint was a great chance to switch the roles in that regard, and I’m kinda disappointed they didn’t.

(then again…wasted potential that could’ve been made better with even just a few tweaks here and there is s3’s running theme -.-)

Close second is i want you in it (every hour, every minute), which was also cathartic—Westallen deserved their big, fancy wedding (or at least a wedding to themselves smh), and I got to drop in a Wallinda tease :D

50: do you plan or do you write whatever comes to your mind?

A little of both! For shorter standalone fics (like oneshots), those just get written on the fly. For multichaps/long AUs, those get planned out…though ofc even within that, I allow myself the space to improvise and write what feels most natural to me. And if it doesn’t conflict with the outline or makes the narrative stronger, the change sticks!

Ex: Morgan befriending Iris early and eventually looping her in around 1x14, Morgan and Barry being as close as siblings. These are changes that were not originally planned, but imo enhance the story, so they stuck :D

63: what’s the best insult you’ve read in a fic?

I forget which fic this was in since it’s been so long, but I once read the insult “you walnut” in a fic, and I have never stopped thinking about it since 😂

fic writer ask game!

[atowncalledher]

can i be brave

It's a half finished song about burnout and sunk cost fallacy, using the Synthesizer V AI voicebank Mai

I threw this together in literally two days 1) because I've been working on a really big project recently and need something different 2) because I want to share my music and that's scary but I want to do it anyway with stuff that I don't care about too much 3) because I have a huge problem with not finishing things and I want to try and fix that.

So I made this, planning for it to be decidedly mid, and then I started writing lyrics and was like "oooh wait this has so much potentially". But I'm putting it here anyway, even though this is very rough and doesn't do the ideas here justice at all because I'm being brave.

[searchforahero]

Otps: dicktim, batcat, dinahbabs, halbarry

Notops: jaytim (I don’t care how much fanon tries to gaslight me, Tim doesn’t even like Jason.), halcarol (release her!!!), dickbabs (I always liked them as exes that manage to keep their friendship mostly intact. I honestly would be interested to see what a dickbabs divorce looks like.) stephcassie (we’ve toxic yuri to close to the sun. Cassie barely likes Stephanie and they barely interacted in cannon. Like.why. There’s better ships for both of these characters (anitacassie/stephcass).

Oooh lots of them 0.0!!!

DickTim my beloveds... My light my life... My reason for being in fandom. 99% of my posts are about them obviously I love them LOL Uh other than that. I am indifferent to BatCat for the most part. I prefer them as exes, particularly exes that became closer than ever after breaking up, but I do get the hype they're very fun. DinahBabs!!!! AUGH them in BoP99 is so everything... <3 They're so incredible. Very neutral on Halbarry. I don't read enough Flash or GL comics tbh, my only ship for either of them is HalOllie lol.

I love JayTim. I guess I don't really post about them much though... My main WIP rn is JayTim though! Also it is funny you point out Tim not even liking Jason because... Indeed... That is why I like them LOL I love when Jason is hanging around and Tim's just like :[[[ That one scene where Jason is telling Tim about "their" plan and Tim is just like... Not my plan... Is so delightful to me. But I do like modern JayTim where they're buddies too, although it isn't my preference. I again have read like no GL stuff so no opinions on HalCarol sorry T_T I do love DickBabs though, they're fun to me as an on-and-off sort of thing <3 Neutral on StephCassie once again, there's other ships for the both of them I do prefer though, but they're fun. I'm a multishipper deep in my heart though so I'm happy with anything.

Also anon you have so many OTPs and NOTPs lol. So much respect on my end o7

[tartagliove]

i always love coming to your blog to catch up on your HSR posting ze, it’s so entertaining !!! any thoughts on what you have played so far that you would like to air? any fav characters that have stuck with you mayhaps? heh heh 👀💗

hiiii Vana!! I'm always so •///• when people tell me they're enjoying my hsr posting ahh, that makes me happy to hear so thank you!!

oooh yes I have some thoughts to share ^u^ I rambled a bit about quite a few characters so it will all be under the cut! also Penacony spoilers ahead if anyone isn't there yet c:

first of all: Firefly!!! I did not expect to like her so much. a friend has her as one of his support characters so I've used her quite a bit. coming into Penacony, I just knew that she had a mech form with the COOLEST wings ever like a fire fairy. but the quest?? there were so many twists and turns with her. I didn't know her affiliation so I wasn't expecting her to be a Stellaron Hunter! and the fact that she's dying because of the entropy loss thingy (as a chem major the entropy mention had me perking up like o.o!! ) it makes me so sad but she is so lovely wahhh. she has become my favorite character from the Penacony arc so far!

I also liked the little bits this quest revealed about some of the Astral Express members. like the bits about Welt and the black hole in his cane??!! and Himeko is soooo cool and elegant and smart. I think because I've been considering building her I've been paying more attention to parts with her in it and it has made me like her more ^u^

I'm liking Robin a lot too! I wish we knew more about what she was up to when she was away from Penacony but her design is so cute, I absolutely adore her halo thing. she's also so capable even though she seems more unassuming in the beginning.

now about the cast of male characters: I definitely still like Sunday the most. part of it is because we focus a lot on him but also I like that he seems so calm and doesn't express a lot of emotion at first but he actually has like. this cold rage. I need to know him more I think he shows up later.

anyway!! I wish we got to see Boothill more too. I like him but it's very surface level I think.

I liked Dr. Ratio at first when he's talking to Aventurine but when Trailblazer interacts with him on the ship he kinda just insults people's intelligence so I like him less. he's very intelligent so it was very cool to see him interact with Sunday and Aventurine. I think I'd like him more if we got to know him better but it feels like he was just there to be part of Aventurine's story.

poor Argenti showed up for what felt like 0.5 seconds so idk much about him except he talks with flowery language and he's very pretty >u< I fear I don't have much else to say about him!

now. erm. he-who-shall-not-be-named-blonde-slimyman. oh boy did I dislike him. he's sooooo ew with how he talks to Trailblazer and is like "I'll pay for your 'friendship'" and I HATED that so much. his backstory hurt though </3 and oh my gosh he is so smart he had plans upon plans upon plans and I couldn't figure out a single thing! I was not expecting all those twists with not two but THREE cornerstones. I wish we knew what happens to him after all this and after he gets judged by the ten stoneheart people. he's still stinky though.

anyway THANK YOU FOR ASKING VANA!!! <3 I LOVE YOU HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!

[thecloudstan]

Oooh, if you're accepting stuff for the OTP + Character Ask thing, then for Rufus/Cloud... Let's go with 3, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 22, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 36, 38, and 39. Lmao, I know that's a lot. Please, thank you, and sorry. XD

Yes, yes, yes! Still doing!! I'll answer the first ask or two and put the rest under the cut so this post doesn't get too long.

3. Are they into PDA? Who initiates most?

I think it's pretty obvious that Rufus is the one who initiates PDA, but only when he feels especially bastard-like. I do think he'd naturally draw the line in situations that would make Cloud genuinely uncomfortable (like in front of his friends/family/comrades), but strangers? Eh, who cares? Mostly, though, Rufus likes to be almost caught, it's the tension of possibly being seen that excites him, it's watching Cloud squirm that amuses him most. If Cloud is drunk, he'll act physically possessive without much pretense at all.

12. Who prefers calling to texting (& vice versa)? Bonus: Who is so bad at texting it made the other think they weren’t interested when they first started hanging out? [This could be hypothetical as much as real].

Rufus would rather call. It's the business man in him. Real businessmen don't text important shit. It's also bad form to put things in text. Too formal, some things are better communicated verbally (this may be the fact that I work in a law office speaking). Cloud is the one who is abysmal about texting at first. If Rufus is inwardly concerned that Cloud isn't interested, he'd keep it to himself.

13. Stay home/go-out? What are their date nights like?

Irritatingly lavish because Rufus plans them all. This is not Cloud's forte. He barely wants to be seen in public, let alone seen in public with someone who loves to be seen in public. A night in would be perfectly fine with Cloud. Still, I can't see this as being planned by anyone other than Rufus, and the "night in" would be a "night in a 5 star suite complete with room service and wine that costs almost as much as the room itself."

17. Who is more competitive?

Tie. They're both so bull-headed. Have you played the game(s)?! Have you heard these two men throw insults (flirt) back and forth?! This is what makes the ship so much fun!

18. What are they like when they’re drunk? How do they act together? & when 1 is drunk, while the other one’s sober?

Cloud - fewer words, if you can believe it, but no filter. Will say the mean things and the soft things and the sweet things. Holds a sour face. Bebi-shaped (always).

Rufus - horny and somehow even more elegant. Difficult to tell except for the slight flush to his cheeks. His smile reaches his eyes more.

19. What do they fight about most often? (Alternative: what was their biggest fight?)

Which one of them is a bigger liar.

22. Love languages? How do they get around differences, if any?

I think Cloud's love language is pretty clearly Acts of Service. He can't help but help. For Rufus, I would lean toward Quality Time. At least in the case of Cloud, he knows he needs the right hook. He finds ways to make sure they're alone, repeatedly, without interruption. He is not at all feigning attentiveness. And at least in terms of NTYC, they get around differences primarily by Fucking. It can be very cathartic and can really re-frame whatever things you were arguing about beforehand, LMAO.

25. (a lil sappy, but..) What do they like about each other?

Hmm. I think Cloud likes the directness, even though there are times Rufus is clearly playing a game. He likes that he can say whatever he wants without really having to worry about stepping on Rufus' toes or hurting his feelings. Rufus likes having a worthy opponent in Cloud. By many definitions of the term.

27. Craziest place they had sex?

Bathroom at a heavily attended private event. This is in the story but I also just think it tracks for the ship, generally.

29. First date? (Give as much or little detail)

Something suitably over the top that would make Cloud flush the entire time. Something that included a private car and an expensive dinner, maybe an illustrious night at the theatre because Rufus is important enough to get box seats. Everything is a competition, after all, and if Cloud is shocked speechless, Rufus is pleased. He's winning.

30. Pet names? Yes or no?

Rufus would absolutely use pet names (again...he's ruthless). Cloud? No. Absolutely not. Unless things uttered milliseconds before climax count as "pet names."

31. How do they spend their anniversary?

Alone. I don't know if either of them are sentimental enough to put much stock into an anniversary.

32. Who’s so affectionate they can’t stop touching the other?

Probably Rufus, but I don't know how much of this is genuine affection or that desire to claim and overwhelm. It's probably still motivated by affection, he just tells himself otherwise. You have to fuck Cloud into submission for him to start feeling comfortable enough to get touchy-feely.

36. Who is more protective?

Cloud. No one on the planet is more protective than Cloud.

38. If/when they have kids, what is their parenting style (or pets-who does what)?

Cloud is practically already a co-dad, so I think we kinda know his parenting style. Or, I like to indulge myself in writing MORE about it. I think his mother was probably a wonderful parent and that he was quite close to her, so that's what he'd emulate to the best of his ability. Patience, protection, never a raised voice.

Rufus...aaaah, yikes. That's tough. I don't think he has much use for children. Can't picture it. I would like to believe he'd want to be a better father than his own, but I think his fear of failing would create a self-fulfilling prophecy, of sorts.

39. Do they get along with the other’s family? If not, how do they deal with the other’s family?

Well enough. Cloud is combative with the Turks because old habits die hard, but in the end they'd have each others' backs, right? I believe so. And Rufus will be perfectly cordial to anyone who is important to someone who is important to him. He takes that sort of thing seriously. He values loyal people.

[disappointingcabbage]

I’m gonna lose it my in progress live reaction to episode 1 deleted itself. im gonna try to remember what I said and then finish the episode

TDP Season 7 Episode 1 live reaction below the cut, beware spoilers for anything and everything in this episode and proceed at your own risk

kosmo emo poetry moment lol

“I’m back and no one knows hehe >:)” aaravos, my dude, that’s not gonna last long you’re the size of a fucking building someone will notice

oooh funky new intro animation

Ethari?

HOLY SHIT ITS HAPPENING

nvm runaan isn’t back in the silvergrove yet his flower is just floating again

Ethari doesn’t believe he’s alive :(

The jump cut from Ethari being like “no he’s definitely dead :(“ to Runaan being a nightmare patient and trying to convince Rayla and Lujanne to let him leave the moon nexus because he needs to get back to his husband Right Now is peak comedy

Also lujanne’s bf just being able to scoop up this twink like a fucking cat and put him back in bed is amazing actually

Aww rayllum fluff, cute!!

Aaravos shut the fuck up challenge impossible

Terry calling aaravos out for being a manipulative bastard is amazing actually

Claudia I get that you miss your dad but he’s died like 3 times now let the man rest

I don’t buy aaravos’s whole “viren may be stuck in the in between as a ghost bc his death was too traumatic” thing for one second

Callum found Soren’s dragon plushie in the castle ruins

I love that Callum and Soren are just allowed to hug it out and cry we need more shows like this that show men healthily feeling and expressing their emotions

This scene is brutal though. I almost cried

Fuck all the way off, aaravos

No no no no no stay away from the moon nexus leave Runaan alone he’s been through enough

Where the fuck would you even get a moon primal stone

What do you MEAN, “invert the moon nexus” what does that even do??? Stop pissing on the moon you’re not Eggman >:(

aww sorvus

Ok I think I covered the stuff that tumblr dot com deleted on me time to finish the episode

KOSMO WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE INTENDS TO RELEASE THE DEAD AMO- ohhh he’s bringing back Leola. Fair enough? Maybe? I don’t know the Bigger Implications of that as it pertains to this magic system?

Hell yeah Astrid!!

Aww Aanya’s cuddling Bait!!

Soren ily

Ezran going full vengeful mode is unexpected but fair tbh. That said, um, sol regem’s already dead so I don’t think his revenge quest is gonna last all that long.

That said if Ezran of all people shows up in a rage while Aaravos and Terry and Claudia are still there it’s gonna be both funny and scary

Oh Callum and Corvus are going to the valley of the graves instead. That’s a smarter decision.

Aanya is such a good friend.

An archdragon’s bite, you say?

I’m just picturing Ezran chucking a poké ball at aaravos and zym coming out of it and just chomping this motherfucker on the ankle

“It will be better to be a bit less conspicuous” sir, once again, you are a fucking kaiju. I think that ship has sailed.

Your footsteps literally cause mini earthquakes I don’t think you’re capable of stealth

Did this motherfucker just become an evil lion turtle????

No he just transformed all his extra body mass into an island and became Normal Sized. That’s not any less weird.

Oh my god why is he giving me Dr. Frank N Furter vibes

ough shapeshifting disguise. I liked the tidebound better but he’s probably going with earthblood to match Terry

I know he did not just hit on Claudia. Absolutely the fuck not.

Runaan angrily shoveling grubs into his mouth is not what I expected but it’s really funny

also apparently he’s going to Katolis with Rayla. That’s… a choice.

Aaravos needs to get way better at planning stuff out because it took Callum and Corvus all of two seconds to see the massive dragon skeleton in the valley of the graves and the new island that just mysteriously popped up in the lake

What if zym bit a rock on the island

oh fuck he picked a human disguise and now he’s gonna infiltrate katolis. Ah shit.

Aaravos’s human form looks. Uncomfortably like your average fanart of Gerry from TMA.

Nvm he’s leaving I guess

is that a fucking Snow White apple?

Aaravos really has like a -1 stealth lmao like dude why did you use Callum’s name your human sona doesn’t know him

Thank you Corvus for being the voice of reason

Thank you Ezran for not continuing to be counterproductively angry after finding out Sol Regem is dead

Rayla’s back!! With Runaan! I don’t to his return to katolis is well timed like at all but he sure is here

Oh no ezran’s still mad

Understandable but dude now is not the time

I really don’t want acab to include Soren :(

Astrid why did you just look directly into the fucking sun immediately after removing your blindfold

That’s it that’s the episode I guess

[crazy-ache]

Fanfiction Ask Game

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 21

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 184,514

3. What fandoms do you write for? ACOTAR (my current obsession), and I used to write quite bit for Avatar: The Last Airbender (back in the DAY with fanfiction.net and livejournal.com just to show my AGE), and I have dabbled briefly in GOT haha

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?  

when destiny keeps calling (Zutara, ATLA)

the other side of mercy (Zutara, ATLA)

surround me (Zutara, ATLA)

Call Me Selfish, Call Me Wreck (Elucien, ACOTAR)

Dear Lucien, Dear Elain (Elucien, ACOTAR)

Major love to my old Zutara fandom.

5. Do you respond to comments? I didn't always understand the importance of doing it and I used to be very shy in fandom, but now I do my best to always respond! I have made friends from engaging on fics on Ao3 which I love. It makes the writing experience feel like a community event which has been really fulfilling.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I usually leave on a hopeful note, but I did write water can heal, water can break which was slightly Zutara with anti Kataang vibes and the implications of the ending break my heart because they were aligned with the canon for Katara. I basically was so disappointed by the absence of her story in LoK that I needed to explain why it wasn't her fault and her own internal heartbreak about it.

Call Me Selfish, Call Me Wrecked is happy but also has my special mix of angsty-HEA. 7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? All of them LOL. But maybe Courting Lucien Vanserra because I was just in a silly goofy mood when I wrote it. But I also still technically need to write the epilogue....shit....

8. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Oh! I used to not. @zenkindoflove influenced me lmao. Now I am getting better at it. So, yes, I do. I'm going to call it smut-with-lots-of-feelings.

9. Do you write crossovers? I have not!

10. Have you ever had a fic translated? No, but please tell me if you do LOL

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Oooh yes. Me and @zenkindoflove have written two works together. I highly recommend it to anyone else considering it. It was some of the most fun I had writing in a long while- a true creative experiment. We basically have our own "Canon" universe of crazykindoflove that we have established in our heads. It helps we very much have the same tastes.

12. What is your all-time favorite ship? Zuko/Katara was the ship that started it all for me. It taught me fandom obsession, fandom community, it spurred a life-long passion for writing....I think I have to give it credit where it is due. Elain/Lucien is getting up there. Their book might be the very thing that puts them into the number one slot.

13. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Divine Punishments....the multi-chapter fic I had grand plans for that I abandoned after the first chapter LOL.

14. What are your writing strengths? Metaphors. I can come up with a damn good metaphor. That's my poetry background coming into play. My writing is very lyrical, descriptive, and introspective. I love finding a beautiful metaphor that just perfectly describes an emotion or situation.

Because were she to ever wear the dress, those stitched sunflowers, with their bright yellow petals, would be a declaration to the whole world exactly what his heart intended. That she was the sun and he was the humble sunflower, forever loyal to follow her, forever in adoration of her shine; for the sunflower only grows facing the sun’s light, in an eternal chase of her orbit. It didn’t matter where either of them moved, he would be there, waiting to bloom at her smile. 

Like damn look at this. I still think about this one LOL

15. What are your writing weaknesses?  Plot LOL. I was a oneshot girl my entire life and could never tackle multi-chapter works with elaborate plots. Until ACOWAR (Elucien's Version)!!

16. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I'd love to incorporate my Spanish but haven't had a reason to yet in a fic.

17. First fandom you wrote for? ATLA!

18. Favorite fic you’ve written? This is really hard. Several are near and dear to my heart. But I'm going to say ACOWAR (Elucien's Version). Because I'm really proud of the quality of the writing, the interesting take on Canon AU, the characterizations, and the time spent mapping out the chapters. I'm halfway through and it's already been beyond rewarding.

I feel as though everyone has been tagged on this one, so feel free to steal and share!!!

for fanfic end of the year asks

😈. (My own question). All the ships you wrote this year and the number of times you tagged for each.

Hehehe yaaaay, more questions, thank you! ^_^ (fanfic end of the year asks)

[EDITED on Dec 31, 2023 to account for my insane December writing binge]

16. fic(s) you completed this year

31 fics!!! 7 of those were drabbles (that is, exactly 100 words long, which is what drabble means), 3 of them were written for a challenge that strictly limited the length to 250 words, and the other 21 were one-shots of varying length. I'm grouping them like this because the word count limitations def produces a different style of fic than when I can just write as many words as I need in order to tell the story I want to tell. XD Anyway, I've also included brief notes after each fic title about which fic is which, bc I can never remember my own fic titles so how can I expect you to, lmaooo.

[honeycreammilkshake]

hi hi!

oooh I'm having a carrusel of feelings these days with the end of the manga, I joined just a month ago to jjk universe (thanks to my sister) ang got inmendiately attached to SukuIta (these two are precious).

After the last chap I can say I'm satisfied cause I'm big supporter of meta cooking for fans and fanfic to full all the holes in the cannon plot. Maybe showing some stories from the terrible Heian era but I guess the autor has plans to make some prequel...

About the mess of the fandom in general:

I guess big part of the problem with some ppl is that they actually get too attached to a secondary character, no matter how op is the character it still secondary (and probably dye terriblely in cannon).

They need to move on, I feel like these fans are the new wave of Itachi/Jiraiya guys.

Btw, I think that the way some socmed are full of reactions and new ppl in fandoms don't help to mantain certain old etiquette and sane distance from the author so I understand a bit why the things looks so messy with the fandom in the last months.

The good thing is that the big majorie will leave after the ending and the decrescend of the hype gonna bring a better space for the artist and the fans who likes meta analysis.

(sorry for the typos eng isn't my first language)

hi, anon. don't worry about the typos at all, i totally understand you and english is overrated.

so glad you joined the cult of sukuita so quickly. sadly though, it doesn't seem very active anymore on here compared to other ships in jjk, and i'm deeply wishing we get a lot more content on this site sometime soon (maybe the new anime seasons will bring more people to our cause?). i'm starting to get a bit embarrassed that i keep making sukuita posts like 3 times every day and i worry i'm yapping away too much on here, but as they say... if you're not finding what you want to find, make it yourself.

to reply to your observations on the fandom, i have to agree. so many new antis, toxic fans, and people intolerant of others' opinions have completely taken it over. it used to be fun to watch people argue about how much they like the characters or tease each other about their ships back when fandoms were much more accepting, but now it's just way too many moral debates with unstable ground to stand on. and yeah... the overwhelming amount of hate sukuna fans and sukuita shippers sometimes get is depressing.

i'm hoping that if you continue to like jjk and sukuita, you'll stay around until times get better here. it's lovely to hear from all the people who like these two cursed freaks, and i'm glad you shared your thoughts with me. hope you've been doing well <3
