@redrowantree said Secundus looks like a Wojak face so I nearly died to bring this into the world.

18, 22 for the fic asks

18. tell us about a character who’s very different than you who you love a whole lot

I feel like I don't have a lot in common with most of the characters I enjoy, maybe just one or two things at a time? But outwardly I think I don't have a lot in common with Tomix and I still find him very compelling.

22. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you. or talk about several. seriously, writing is cool. you’re making up whole stories out of your brain, revel in that shit.

So there have been very few moments where I could look back o

So one of my favorite fics that I've written, "Let's (Not) Do That Again", was written over the course of literally 30 minutes and still holds up pretty well.

One of the first longfics I've ever completed, "A wish upon a fountain or a falling star", I had pretty much no idea where it was going but it eventually got to a conclusion I still enjoy. Sometimes I reread the comments or snippets I remember. Still good!

Had to think about this for my DF work, and I'm not entirely sure because I only just got back into the fandom this year, but for 2022 I think my favorite thing to happen was just... getting back into DF as a whole, talking to everyone about possibilities in fic over discord.

Fully genuine here; I'd been really lonely in fandom since 2020 or so because it had gotten so hard to find people in the homestuck spheres with similar interests, so talking to you, @valorousowl, @redrowantree and @7yd1a about our collective blorbos has been the best thing I could ask for.

What can you tell me about dancers in the garden?

asedipsfs I didn't expect to get an ask about this for some reason LMAO I completely forgot I'd put up the grab bag again. Gonna write a sentence of it to try and motivate myself. But first I'll tell you about it!

This got several paragraphs longer than anticipated.

((Explanation of the WIP grab bag here))

I don't 100% remember what spurred me to actually write it, but @oddeyesight @valorousowl @redrowantree and I were probably talking late at night, as you do.

I'm pretty sure it was Odd who had the idea/vision for the core image of the fic: Notha in a stylish black suit, Rem in a dazzling white gown(1), the two of them attending an event of some kind. The story evolved quite a bit from there!

At first I just wanted Rem to cause a minor scandal, but then decided I wanted them to do something chill for once, so the dance scene got moved from the ballroom to the garden, particularly because Remthalas doesn't want to wear shoes(2) but it'd be inappropriate for him to go barefoot at such a formal occasion.

There's more to the title than just the literal obvious "they dance in the garden" bit, though, as we later discussed that perhaps a guest who also went out of the ballroom for a bit might have noticed them, maybe from a balcony or from a different part of the garden, and was so moved by the vision that they painted the scene.

(1) Rem's gown in the current version isn't pure white anymore because I learned that sea silk is a thing but is more of a burnt gold color, and I really wanted him to wear something Abyssal in origin. The IRL mollusc that produces the byssus made for sea silk is tidal, though, so I made the color a lighter, "champagne" color for his gown instead, to suggest that Abyssal sea silk has different qualities. Besides; the pearls are still white.

(2) Personal headcanon that he has foot pain, possibly even flat feet; partially as a nod to the Little Mermaid because I'm a sucker for fairytale parallels, partially because I think it makes sense for water elves since they never wear shoes in-game, and partially based on my own experience with various chronic pains so I like giving fictional characters chronic pain.

If I leave the thing blank, assume I prefer a secret third thing.

Odd actually struck through active dislikes so feel free to do that.

updated ref for @redrowantree‘s Savagepounder and his daughter Overflow Butterfly. Tldr for their backstory, SP is a tired dad doing his best and OF was named by her carrier who abandoned her on her sire’s doorstep after ghosting him! The nerve!
