fic authors self rec! when you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you've written :)

haha thanks friend <3

I’ve technically only published 5 fics so by default they’re all my fave fics that I’ve written 😂. In order of oldest to most recently published:

1. Prayers

Lil Renee character study in a canon-compliant au where she is half Korean and I explore a small moment of what that could be like for her. It’s quite a personal fic for me cuz I used a lot of personal experiences to write it but it broke my years long writers block so I’m quite proud of it

2. A Damned Saint, An Honorable Villain

This fic was a whole bunch of new writing experiments for me that I think I executed quite successfully. The star of this fic is the nonlinear timeline cuz I somehow managed to write one of those cool funky pieces of writing where you gotta read it twice cuz it reads differently as it’s written compared to when you read the parts in chronological order

3. sometimes i wish i kept some of my feelings in the basement

In writing this fic, I basically blacked out and vomited up all of my feelings into a love letter to Andrew Minyard. It’s 2nd person, which I know isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if you love Andrew, you should give it a chance

4. leave or stay (I’m invisible here)

After watching KinnPorsche, I was possessed by many feelings about Kim and KimChay and I poured them all into this fic. It follows Kim’s pov starting from the “I love you” scene to a little beyond canon and if you love Kim it’s the fic for you

5. 산낙지 ㅣ Sannakji

A fun short little crack fic I wrote in half an hour on a subway in Seoul. Features Andrew and Renee being besties and Andrew being a dumb loser refusing to back down from a challenge

I love making lists, so I decided to make an IWTV / VC Fic Rec 🖤(Psa: I tend to avoid Wips unless I trust the author 100% and I usually prefer one shots). 

I’m still fairly new to the fandom, so this will be an odd mix of old and new stories. In no particular order:

AMC IWTV

Loustat: 

Go Fetch God by bluebloodbruise (E): everyone knows and loves this one, and with good reason.

someone buy me roses by indigostohelit (E): catholic guilt and smut and dry humour, what more can you want.

wilting, withering by baberainbow @baberainbowao3 (E) and a simmering pot of resentments by louisredsuit @louisredsuit (E): emotional sex and angst set during ep. 5. On the same theme, also “You just need to put it somewhere” by  Komilk (E)

vein by vein by morian @nonagethimus (M): meditative and artsy, my fav kind of fic.

It must be by his death by undecimber @undecimber-of-joy (M): why Lestat must die + great prose.

Human AUs: pocketsun’s @thefairylights Coffee shop fic (E) and prouvaireafterdark’s @prouvaireafterdark Ethic Professor Louis (E)fic

Armand/Daniel:

Enough to Turn a Body to Stone by Nothing_But_Paisley (E) and platform double suede by inthebelltower (E): sex, drugs and rock’n roll in the 70s 

Perfection by bandedbulbussnarfblat @bandedbulbussnarfblat (E) & I love you like an alcoholic by quensty (E) & all I got left by flowerplots (E) & show you mine by circlegame @appleisms (M): armand seeking out middle-aged daniel to fuck and then making him forget afterwards era (cit. flowerplots)

VC Books

Armand/Daniel:

Literally everything by apoptoses but especially Pale Shelter (E, Devil’s Minion era) and Blood Sanation (E, post Prince Lestat)

The Lotus Eater by monstersinthecosmos (E): Devil’s Minion at its best/worst.

Loustat: A Private Exhibition by Emileesaurus (E): it’s a classic for very good reasons.

Note: I also like Lesmand and Loumand but, like I said, I’m still fairly new and I haven’t read that much. If you have any good recs, please send them to me 🖤

Rec list - Daniel x Louis

On the occasion of @iwtvfanevents A Meal to Remember which aims to honor fic writers and their work, here is a list of some of my favourite DanLou stories.

nothing left to give you now | gaypiratedivorce. I've read it so many times. Post-Dubai somewhat canon-compliant sexy romance. This author is so good at writing Daniel loving Louis, and if like me you're a sucker for it, you'll love it. And if you're not, it might get you into it. As it did with me!

and he was mine | watertiger. Louis adopts a hands-on approach to help Daniel understand something during their interview. That dance scene lives on in my head.

a ghost is a memory | quensty. The crushing. The longing. Very sweet one-shot.

hand to god | boltcutters. Only one chapter is out right now and I don't know if it'll be updated, but I think everyone should read it and share in The Vision! (detective noir with Daniel as the private eye and Louis as the femme fatale)

[keepoffthetardis]

For @iwtvfanevents A Meal to Remember, I will be dropping a rec list for few of my favorite IWTV fics! It is not exhaustive, but everything on the list is a must-read to me.

from @gayvampiredivorce: little kidnaps in the dark and outcast of all this night. Their narrative voice is nonpareil and their characterization is always amazing.

from @quensty: hell and you and your slaughterhouse, your killing floor. They have one of the best writing styles I've ever encountered. They are very insightful with their character portrayals, and they strike an incredible balance between comedy, poignancy, and intimacy.

from ABigScaryBat: Had joys no date, nor age no need. An absolutely inspired take on both Daniel and Armand as characters. Character study by way of Watching What Happens After Being Super Irritating, as it were.

from @enterprisery: night train and exposure. Her narrative voice for Daniel is excellent, and her style is fresh and innovative.

and from @bandedbulbussnarfblat: Same Old Dance and Long Distance. She is excellent at setting the tone for the story almost immediately, and is additionally one of the most prolific writers I've subscribed to!

[keithal]

Do you have any supernatural fic recs?

ANON. i have been waiting since 2019 for someone to ask me this. prepare to regret this decision (FYI: i'm taking all these recs & following notes from my public bookmarks on ao3, which you can find here. i'm cutting the notes short, so if u don't mind spoiler-y drawn-out comments, check that out too if u want!)

deancas focused:

A Reasonable Amount of Trouble by xylodemon -> an spn au where dean is a p.i. and a hunter on the side, cas is still an angel, and they get caught up in a plot that's a mix of seasons 4, 6, 8, and 9. this was my introduction to spn and deancas. the characterization is flawless and the prose is beautiful (very cs pacat-esque). the plot is crafted with close attention to detail and the pacing is perfect

the point of our being by noviembre -> a post-s15 fix-it that takes place immediately after the penultimate episode. noviembre is undoubtedly my favorite spn writer of all time. one of the best dean voices i've ever come across. this ties up the narrative threads into a beautiful, sound, satisfying ending, and both destiel & saileen survive. despite the odds, they're happy.

i projected onto dean winchester when i was twelve years old and now im making it your problem by alittleduck (amidsizedfrog) -> another post-finale fix it. and, to date, the funniest thing i've ever read. every fic in this series has a good balance between scenes that make u laugh so hard u hurt ur throat and Scenes That Make You Want To Gurgle Cement.

So Says The Sword by komodobits -> a s4 au and a fandom classic for a reason. if u haven't read this, i'm of the firm belief it's best to go in as blind as possible. but definitely keep this verse in the back of ur mind while reading: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father" (matthew 10:29)

sir this is a wendy's by noviembre -> yall remember when misha collins said that a modern au deancas would be like if a wendy's janitor and the president of the usa fell in love? well noviembre took that seriously and now we're here. and u should all be thankful bc it's somehow the single funniest and most romantic thing i've ever read

the pie isn’t a metaphor (it’s just pie) by noviembre -> post-finale s15 domestic deancas fic that's the emotional equivalent of drinking tea and lying under a warm weighted blanket. it makes me so happy and i think abt it every time i eat a pastry. i just sit there chewing like “dean and cas are eating fresh pie in their kitchen” and it puts a smile on my face.

Muscle Memory by komodobits -> a "50 first dates" au that i think abt every single day. i'm not joking. it's so sad and touching and sweet and unexpectedly funny, and no one writes deancas like komodobits. it just FEELS so them and i'm obsessed w it.

Strandlines by aeli_kindara -> au where s4 cas meets stanford-era dean. dean's voice and characterization is incredibly in-character with the early seasons and his voice doesn't falter once. and of course castiel! robotic s4 cas with this tremendous power and this fierce yet wavering loyalty to heaven that eventually focuses solely on dean! likewise, his character is spot-on and i enjoyed reading from his pov immensely.

[podfic] right hand on his rife, swore it on the bible by be_brave13 for quensty, floorsirens -> u can't possibly expect me NOT to include this. YES my friend and i wrote the fic but be_brave13's love and appreciation for it makes it feel like a completely separate work. my favorite podfic (and gift) of all time so i implore u to give it a listen.

something suddenly everywhere by noviembre -> the finest post-s15 fix-it of all time. cas is in the empty, they've defeated god, jack is gone, and all that's left is sam, eileen, dean, a bunker, and trying to move on. i know i already said that but this is the same author so it still counts! i cried, i laughed, i grieved, i jumped from excitement. it's a rollercoaster of emotions. it should be put behind a velvet rope at a museum so we can all gather around and clap.

To Boldly Go by 8daysuntiltheapocalypseiguess -> au where dean writes star trek fanfiction. it follows him from the beginning of the show to the older seasons and is told entirely thru his fic summaries, reader commentary, and livejournal dms. warning that it is unfinished, but it's a masterpiece

saileen focused:

Loveletter (Dear Eileen) by voynichs (Xenerik) -> a short and beautiful meditation about love and eileen from sam's pov. it's only 300 words but it feels like 15k. definitely at the top of my fave saileen fics of all time. when i first read it i stayed up until 2 am crying abt it

Livin' on a Prayer by Dredfulhapiness -> EILEEN MEETING EARLY SEASONS DEAN AND SAM I'M SCREAMING. do u understand how this could've changed the timeline but, more importantly, me as a person. eileen there when dean and sam were trying to find a way out of the deal, there when everything happened with ruby, there for dean's resurrection, there before they met cas, there after sam dies and dean retires and cas goes m.i.a. and DEALING with the aftermath of a foiled apocolypse. everyone hates the winchesters but the winchesters are gone and all that's left is eileen to deal with the brunt of it.

With Hands Clasped by Xenerik -> a handful of snippets from the eileen wedding that explores gender and religion and love so beautifully. i haven't been able to read it completely yet, but i can tell this is going to be another saileen fave.

other pairings/no pairings

The Love Story of the Runner Up by Margo_Kim -> told from the perspective of a guy cas had a brief affair with as a semi-drunken story he tells a friend in a bar. it's technically deancas but since cas's relationship with another man takes main focus, i elected to put it here.

Ten Years by Margo_Kim -> a bela talbot character study and the best i've been able to find, no contest. *rowena voice* good girls are pathetic here's to evil skanks <3

The Archangel Gabriel Is Dead by seizethefire -> fics that have half a million kudos in my mind. it's about how and why rafael comes to think that god is dead. it expertly explores the familial relationship between gabriel, lucifer, michael, and rafael. it's devastating and beautiful in equal measure. definitely a personal favorite and one i think everyone should read

put them in a box somewhere by amidsizedfrog -> a mary & dean fic told from mary's pov from before she died. a gut-wrenching story about performative/toxic masculinity and internalized homophobia and mothers.

lastly, if ur interested, i also write spn fic >:) which u can find by clicking here. happy reading!

[kaikamahine]

@quensty​ did this meme and is v. v. good at making all her memes v. compelling, so I came onto Tumblr dot com and entered Text into the Text box like a person who does Posts on Tumblr.

Put your spotify ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle and list the first ten songs. I use spotify only under extreme duress, so you’re getting my all-purpose phone music library, bc i'm a caveman who still youtube-to-mp3s all her songs one-by-one.

.

🎙unholy (ft. kim petras) by sam smith. still waiting for someone to cover this song with the pronouns changed. i just think it’d be a more interesting song if it was daddy left at home with the kids while mommy got up to morally dubious alchemical shenanigans with kim petras in the body shop. the beat fucks too hard to be wasted on some man.

🎙watch me by the pom poms. there was a long stretch of 2022 when my phone playlist was nothing but jinx song after jinx song. a few have become True Loves with rent free residence. see also: headshot and she’s got a gun.

🎙vacation by vitamin c. maybe u just need to listen to vitamin c’s vacation from the critically acclaimed movie pokemon (the first movie) (1999) and then you’ll calm down.

🎙freaks (ft. savage) by timmy trumpet. complete and unironic banger. no i will not elaborate. yes you’ve heard it before.

🎙mafia by kelis. jilco rewrote my brain chemistry and now i’m a cooler, sexier person, that’s all ✌️

🎙undergang by heldom & danheim. while stuck doing warehousing a few years ago, i got SUPER into the shamanic proto-viking category on spotify, a love affair that came to a screeching halt when spotify’s next trick was to pull a neo-nazi podcast out of its algorithmical hat, but not before i got some good beats to take home like a boyfriend hoodie. yikes.

🎙run boy run by woodkid. yo! still!! fucking!!! slaps!!!!

🎙reload by m.i.a. not a break-up song but it’s a break-up song to ME, you feel. you got some nerve / talking shit about me! / well that’s okay / your shit’s tired anyway 👋

🎙what a man gotta do by the jonas brothers. what? sometimes a lesbian yearns. mind ur business.

🎙the blue whale by steven price. the single best piece of auditory artwork ever composed, and i do say this having listened to hans zimmer’s ‘coward.’ steven price did not have to put his whole ass prussy into a 2015 bbc nature documentary about predation tactics in wildlife, but he did it for me specifically, knowing i would listen to it and be transported five inches to the left of my body every time. wild.

.

You’re supposed to tag people, etc, etc, but those of you who like doing these memes know who you are and should consider yourselves tagged! go forth!! 💚💚

Most Well-Written Fics 2023

personal favorites from the first half of 2023 across multiple fandoms. no particular order.

not based on plot or whatever, simply based on the writing skill and how HARD IT HITS!! most are worryingly heavy angst... none are pwp. these are all great and amazing btw and im just a REALLY really harsh critic and i didnt want this list to be 3 links long lol

for reference i have read 640 fics this year and have bookmarked 7. some of the below r old ones that i didnt put in my last list

Marvel (Stucky)

Tattoo by rinnya / stucky M. self-harm fic. really really good one of my faves.

The Dead Forest - hansbekhart / stucky T. one of my all time favorite fics. cant get over how much i love this one. steve finds himself in the modern era and is depressed as shit. circular ending is disgustingly good and i love this fic so much. makes me miss living in nyc lol

my arms in the sky by lvsr / stucky M. steve and bucky are not good right now and bucky is an ass hole to steve and steve tries to kill himself but.. open ending! also one of my top ten. love love love this one

Supernatural (Destiel)

right hand on his rifle, swore it on the bible by quensty / destiel T. pretty angsty. dean is empty inside rip. this fic is pretty good, definitely in the top 1% of the ones i read. still, why is it so hard to find fics that are well written like this one??

There's Only One Sure Thing That I Know by blinkiesays / destiel E. this ones not even that angsty, but i really really like it for some reason. dean and cas get stuck in ohio and lisa breaks up with dean bc of it. the fic is amazing. i had to sit down after this one no joke. its really good. pretty long compared to what i usually like tho

this is gospel by piesexuality / destiel series. very great, not super memorable but still amazing. if you want a selection of great fics written by this person then here u go. religious imagery

MISC from books/scripts (The Sound and the Fury / Waiting for Godot)

ik these are super unpopular but if you want to check out like. literature then read these

Unvirginity by vigilantempathy / shreve/quentin T (they fuck tho). this is one of my favorite fics as well. it's sooo good. "the mind is weak but the flesh is willing" has inspired me to read the bible 😭😭 really good. one of those fics that has stayed in my head for years. great writing

Syringa Vulgaris by babykid528 (private) / shreve/quentin G. also one of my favorite fics but tsatf has the best fics in general tho. really stays with you.

The Meteor Shower by vonpourrise / estragon/vladimir G. great fic, hits as hard as the original. formatted as a script.

that's all!!! nobody reads these but if you do, feel free to drop recs ! im always looking for new fics

btw- "American Vandal" the TV series has, like, the highest concentration of well written fics that i've seen. "The Sound and the Fury" the book has as well. if u like that kinda stuff check it out! ty for reading

[cabeswater]

was tagged by @quensty to shuffle my "on repeat" playlist and list the first ten songs that came on. i'm keeping that part, but also adding on viv's idea of rating the songs. also, 90% of the time i just shuffle my liked songs so i'll be doing that now

🪐 fetch the bolt cutters by fiona apple. i think if this song had come out a year or two earlier, it would have made my life like. MUCH easier. 5 stars! this song makes me feel hopeful.

🪐 creepin' by hayley williams. this song is lots of fun! doesn't mean as much to me as ftbc but this album means a lot to me. 4 stars

🪐 panama (2015 remaster) by van halen. um i went through a classic rock phase when i was in middle school and then another one when i started watching supernatural. so idk 2.5 stars it's fine i don't think i've ever listened to it for anything but vibes though

🪐 halo by beyoncé. 5 stars no question. bonus star for two somewhat destiel-related songs in a row

🪐 surrender my heart by carly rae jepsen. this song is also fun! queen of pop and also my heart. 4 stars

🪐 snow on the beach by taylor swift feat. lana del ray. i don't actually know why this song is on here since i don't particularly like it. including it because everyone getting mad about lana not being on it much is really funny. 1 star for white woman on white woman crime

🪐 kiss me more by doja cat. this song is FUN! and i love both sza and doja's verses. 5 stars it's very good

🪐 overwhelmed by royal & the serpent. this song is fine idk. the verses are only so good but i like the chorus. loses a star because one of the guitarists is really annoying in concert, so 2 stars and i'm taking off my liked songs

🪐 she's my winona by fall out boy. i mean come on. "hell or glory, i don't want anything in between." not my favorite on the album but very good. 4 stars

🪐 drunk in love by beyoncé feat. jay-z. + BONUS song paint it, black by the rolling stones. was trying to find a song more representative of my taste in music but the next several songs were all super random so here. drunk in love is good except for jay-z whose voice i don't like. 3.5 stars. paint it black is fun to listen to so 2.5 stars i guess

tagging @rigorssamsa @flaphack @holyviolence @she-who-is-a-fangirl @hanniballtorture and @biblicallyaccurateangels and anyone else who wants to do this!

Just Leave a Comment Fest 2023 Holiday Edition

Final overall comment total for @justleaveacommentfest: 76

Here’s a very multi-fandom fic rec list of a few of the fics I read (reread in some cases), loved, and commented on that were on theme for each day of the fest:

Day 1: first fandom

(BBC Merlin is not technically the 1st fandom I was ever a part of, or even the 1st fandom I ever read fic for, but I do consider it my 1st real fandom because it’s the 1st fandom I interacted with as intensely as I interact with my fandoms now and it’s also the 1st fandom I ever wrote and posted fic for)

Fandom: BBC Merlin

Prick Love for Pricking by horsecrazy/ @cbk1000

In which Arthur and Merlin hook up at a sex party.

I haven’t felt the urge to read Merlin fic in years, but then I stumbled across this fic, which is honestly one of the funniest things I’ve read in a hot minute, and now my love for Merthur has reawakened within me with vengeance

And Down the River's Dim Expanse by horsecrazy

In which Arthur is a water spirit who tries to drown Merlin. Merlin is not impressed.

Literally obsessed with this fic from the second I read the 1st paragraph

Day 2: bookmark day

Fandom: All For the Game

never said that i didn't need you by incogneat_oh/ @incogneat-oh

"Aaron, are you ready to go? The emergency room queue isn’t getting any shorter.”

Aaron feels a thrill of nervousness pull unpleasantly in his belly. He doesn’t want to spend the night in a brightly-lit, overcrowded emergency room and have strangers prodding at him. He glances back at Andrew, who looks as disinterested as ever. He’s slouched over, hands in his lap and unmoving, face expressionless. He’s facing forward, but his eyes are on Aaron.

And Aaron’s halfway out the door when he swivels. Blurts, “You’ll come with me?"

--

Aaron and Andrew spend an evening hanging out in the emergency department.

One of my personal fave twinyard-centric fics

Fandom: The Historian

among some talk of you and me by Hokuto

Reader, I pray that you will have the strength to walk with me a little longer.

I remember when I 1st found this fic I was so shocked cuz I had no idea anyone had even written fic for this book, but this is literally a perfect little epilogue because it has everything I loved from the book (scholarly nerdiness, libraries, and Dracula)

Day 3: old favorites

Fandom: BBC Sherlock

The World on His Wrist by bendingsignpost/ @bendingsignpost

First, he is shot in Afghanistan. Second, he wakes to a phone call in Chelmsford, Essex. Third is pain, fourth is normalcy, fifth is agony and sixth is confusion. By the eighth, he's lost track. (John-centric AU)

An exceedingly old favorite of mine, like literally one of the 1st fics I ever read on ao3, but I just learned today that I had apparently never commented on it previously, which made it perfectly on theme for this day of the fest

Fandom: Haikyuu!!

When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears by umisabaku/ @umisabaku

"It’s hard to understand the hierarchy when a school like Nekoma exists, putting them all together like they belong, but by the time Kenma enters high school he understands the difference. Kuroo is a black panther, rare and precious; a large predator stronger than most any other foe.

Kenma is a calico housecat. His coloring is uncommon, but he is not special."

Shapeshifter!AU. Kenma struggles with a culture and the rules of courtship.

When I was in high school and at the peak of my sports anime phase, this was one of my fave fics, and so I loved revisiting it all these years later

Day 4: fandom curiosities

Fandom: Mysterious Lotus Casebook

Three Autumns by rageprufrock/ @rageprufrock

If Li Lianhua had known this mess would be waiting for him, he wouldn't have bothered to crawl out of his own grave.

The most I know of this show is what I’ve seen through a few gifs on my tumblr dashboard, but this fic made me fall so hard for the characters it’s not even funny

Fandom: Interview With the Vampire

hell and you by quensty/ @keithal

With respect to Daniel’s life, pain in the ass is spelled A-R-M-A-N-D.

I have read one (1) book and watched one (1) episode of the show, so I barely have any idea who these characters are, but holy shit this dynamic compels me

Day 5: rec a fic

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

a made thing by animediac/ @jaywalkers

Because at the end of it all, Wei Wuxian walks away with his happy ending and the rest of them are left with nothing.

(or, what comes after everything has gone)

Fantastic post-canon fic by one of the few writers that can make Chengsang convincing to me

Fandom: Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Life is (not) a Hallmark Movie by mellicindi/ @mellicindi

Shen Yuan isn't lonely. He's just overseas in a new city, trying to muddle his way through a business degree, and dealing with the side effects of his stupid intestines trying to kill him. So, maybe he sometimes watches ASMR to cope with his too-quiet apartment. Maybe he has a little bit of a parasocial-relationship-thing going on with one particular cooking ASMR channel. It's 2016, who doesn't? The point is, he's content with his quiet life.

And then Shang Qinghua strong-arms him into watching one Hallmark Christmas movie, and it all goes to hell.

Or: Shen Yuan is a Hallmark movie protagonist, Luo Binghe is a Lifetime movie protagonist, and somehow they make it work.

I sadly missed the read-along this year, but this fic has been on my tbr since pretty much as soon as I started reading fic for this fandom, so I got to finally read it and it’s really fantastic

-

As always, I’ll continue to comment on fics and show all you writers appreciation for your craft <3

[minimyz]

my friendly friend @quensty tagged me to put my on repeat playlist on suffle and list the first 10 songs and im doing it RIGHT NOW because im doing laundry and because ill forget. thanks hon!!!!!

unfortunately i have no musical personality whatsoever so most of the songs (all of them actually) come from this playlist (@mitski-hoe altered my brain chemestry forever with this one i listen to it repeatedly)

🛒georgia by phoebe bridgers: i literally go insane over this song georgia georgia i love your son😔

🛒skinny love by bon iver: great one i actually really like it and the chorus is just so so good to sing. bon iver reminds me of new moon they slay (i actually have no idea if bon iver is a band or just a guy

🛒didn't know what i was in for by a bunch of people: i think about the last bit of this song so so much "to fall asleep i need white noise to distract me/otherwise i have to listen to me think/otherwise i pace around hold my breath let it out/sit on the couch and think about/how livings just a promise that i made"

🛒about you by the 1975: actually about missing someone on mundane moments on a train in the mornning and trying to remember all their details imo and its like. scream

🛒to be alone with you by sufjan stevens: such a simple song and yet. and yet. also have you seen sufjans face its like sooo diff from what i expected idk

🛒chesapeake by a bunch of people: "oh sweet child of mine now you stand on the corner and hope you get recognized" also this one reminds me of my mom because she watched that show chesapeake shores in its entirety

🛒twin soul by chistian lee hutson: twin soul=alma gêmea i think its pretty i love expressions in pt actually!

🛒his hands by blegh: insane over this song i thing its such a cool one like the pace and everything its different from what im used to and its so cool to sing out loud. the i knew it was you bit so so crazy babes

🛒love it if we made it by the 1975: fun fact the first few times i listened to this one i didn't really pay attention i thought it was a lovey one etc then one day i really listened to it and was like. wtf. and then i understood and was like slay!!!!!! modernity HAS failed us

🛒northsiders by christian lee hutson: INSANE OVER THIS ONE ACTUALLY "you said that we would always be/branches from the same old tree/reaching away from each other for eternity" WHAT WHAT WTF WTF

I LOVE tag games!! I was brought into this particular tag game by @quensty :)

🫀 Currently reading: A Dance With Dragons (George RR Martin). Which is technically a re-read, but I think it still counts. But I’m planning on starting The Left Hand of Darkness (Ursula LeGuin) for the first time after I finish that.

🫀 Favorite color: Green. I didn’t think I had a favorite color for a long time when I was growing up so I chose yellow at random when I was about twelve, but then I realized a couple of years ago that it was actually green.

🫀 Last Song I Listened To: Kyoto (Copycat Killer Version) - Phoebe Bridgers. Yes it’s 8:00 in the morning. I’m going through something (completely unrelated to the subject of the song), leaf me alone.

🫀Last Movie I Watched: No Country For Old Men. My brother recommended it to me because he said I would like it. He was right.

🫀Sweet, Spicy, or Savory: All three. It just depends on the application. Although I will say I can’t get my spicy food too spicy or else I won’t be able to enjoy it.

🫀Currently Working On: Nothing outside of work, actually. I need a new project.

Tagging: @puentera @holodeckprotocols @enterprisery and @hhawkeye , as well as anyone else who’d like to play!
