i'm greedy n would love to see all of the creation prompts for marine pls n thank u xoxo

infamous MC questions

THANK U TABBY 💙💙💙

Development: How did you come up with your character? Is their design still evolving? How do you think they might develop through the story?

oh she's definitely still evolving LOL. i'm still trying to get to grips with her, but i think i'm starting to figure her out so yay!! i'm super boring in the way i develop characters, so i just kind of started from a jumping point of 1) angsty angry ex relationship w seven 2) daisy jones but make it grunge rock 3) fun wild colour scheme LOL. marnie's a name i've been testing on a few ocs recently n this time she's stuck &lt;3

as for how she might develop, i'm hoping she Matures Emotionally LOL. from imposter syndrome & abandonment issues poster child > queen of self-confidence and love, baby! idk what form that would take (like i think it's a development she could have if they lost botb, but also if they won) but here's hoping she doesn't alienate everyone with her pride before it happens 🤞

Voice: What does their singing voice sound like? Do you have voiceclaims(s) for them?

answered here

Lyrics: What are some songs you associate with your character? Any specific lyrics that really scream your character?

cherry bomb (joan jett & the blackhearts) is a big marnie song bc 1) i know for a fact she screams along to it in the car all the time and 2) the lyrics are just... very her vibe. allll of i hate my mom (GRLwood) is very heavily marnie-coded too LOL. all eyes on me (bo burnham) is very lyrically marnie (are you feeling nervous? are you having fun? it's almost over / it's just begun) even if the genre/style isn't anything she'd sing (tho she might listen?).

Fame: Do you think your character will enjoy fame? Do they think they will? What elements do you think they might struggle with? Do you think they’ll be happy at the end of this road?

marnie definitely wants fame; definitely feels an urge to prove herself and to also seek out people who love her, who want her around and admire her. but i think the realities of fame will prooooobably suck for her more than she thinks they will. she loves attention & admiration, but i think the fickleness of public opinion is gonna fuck w her (shes already struggling to handle this whole fight situation & reactions to it in the press as well as all the references to her relationship w seven).

also, despite how open she seems, there's a lot of stuff abt her life that she wants to keep private (what rly happened with seven, why she doesnt talk to her parents, the true extent of her partying) so having no public boundaries is..... gna be difficult for her, aha. but i think the accomplishment will help her in her way towards happiness, and she'll be proud of herself & the band for any fame/appreciation they manage to claw out?? and she absolutely will love being adored by her fans LOL so u kno there's highs and there's lows

Storybeats: If you could design one scene to happen in the story, what would it be? How would it change your character? What would make it so satisfying for the character arc?

answered here

Wild card: Tell us something about your MC! Feel free to really just roll us over with an emotional steamroller and crush the souls out of our bodies, if you’d like. (You’re also welcome to choose one of the other questions to answer!)

hmmmm. she got into music in the first place to try bonding with her dad aha :/ he had a lot of old rock records and he used to listen to them when he wasn't on assignment. even used to laugh when she sang along sometimes, which was a balm for her no one loves me heart. he kind of lost interest over the years, tho, so it never brought them together.

when she left her parents' house for the last time, she stole his rumours vinyl lol. probably that might come back to bite her on the ass legally like that is entirely possible. but it's one of her most sentimentally valuable possessions, even if she doesnt break it out often bc it makes her think of her dad :/ it's defo come on tour with them in her luggage

Seven: Do you have headcanons about their friendship and/or romantic relationship (past or future)? What do you imagine some of their best memories are? What do you think some of Seven’s favourite things about your MC were/are?

thank u for the tag @lesbianjudasiscariot <33333!!!!! shuffle ur spotify on repeat playlist & let it predict the coming year – the first 12 songs represent ur 2024 this is actually so fun i LOOOOOVE music tag games so much. insert that i love music music is life music is everything twitter thread.

january – the man who sold the world by david bowie; reconnection with my former self ABSOLUTELYYYY 💪💪💪 starting off great

february – point and kill by little simz; basically saying "whatever i want, i'm gonna get it" if u bring the song down to its bare essentials (disregarding all of the cultural references and experiences bc i'm not nigerian and i can't apply them to myself). so if we're going off of basics irt song meaning we're still going strong 👍

march – shadow (i'm breaking down) by destroy boys; noooooo we're going downhill

april – stick season by noah kahan; well. we're officially at the low point i guess 😞

june – (you) on my arm by leith ross; basically longing for and longing to be with someone...coincides with how i usually feel around june/summer actually so. probably accurate.

july – this is why by paramore; well okay 😐

august – lava lamp by lolo zouaï; i knew this one was gonna make the list i've played this sm since it came out but what the song's about.. basically i'm in a relationship that i'm not satisfied with. ellipsis ellipsis ellipsis

september – not my fault by reneé rapp and megan thee stallion; FUN TIMES AND CONFIDENCE HELL YEAH 🙏

october – the moon will sing by the crane wives; well if this song prediction has told me anything it's that romantic relationships will NOT work out for me..

november – imaginando by eno, morad, and mero; (banger song btw) this one is about resilience and the power of dreaming/imagining from what little i can personally understand from it, so we're definitely back on the uptick 👆 and in my birthday month!

december – tv by alex g; an absent father and suppressing feelings...

well we're not closing off with a bang that's for sure but i think overall this in its entirety isn't THAT bad 😎💪

[abiiors]

I looooooved your Ross fics <33333 I would love if you did more (only if you want to) !!!! You’re an amazing writer :)

I am always, always down to write more Ross fluff! Thank you so much anon ❤️

For the sake of this one, we’re gonna assume he does a lot of interviews, okay? Okay.

Anniversary

‘Come home to me,’ you pout at the camera and Ross’s grainy form sighs on the other end. 

‘I know, baby,’ he tries to pacify but at this point, he looks just as fed up as you feel. ‘I didn’t know the interviews were going to be scheduled in this way.’

There’s no point in rehashing this over and over again but you can’t help it; can’t help holding a small grudge against their management. He’s supposed to be with you right now, not thousands of kilometres away in cold New York. And you’re supposed to be planning your anniversary trip together…

‘Anyway, shouldn’t you be in bed?’ his voice snaps you back to reality. 

‘I am in bed.’ 

‘Smartass,’ he smiles. ‘Go to sleep!’

‘It’s like you don’t wanna talk to me,’ you grumble. He rolls his eyes playfully and mouths “dramatic.”

‘It’s not me who wakes up in a stab-y mood after a late night,’ he adds.

The back and forth continues for a bit longer. Just to bid time, you ask pointless questions (how are the others? Fine. How’s New York? Boring without you. Would you still love me if I was a worm? That one makes him laugh so loud that he gets more than a few odd looks from people around him.)

Eventually, as your eyes start to close on their own, you have no other choice but to say bye to him. He promises to call first thing when he wakes up and you sleepily threaten him not to forget. 

That night you dream of his fingers twirling a strand of your hair, you dream of his arms around your waist, you dream of his sleepy voice as he tells you all about his day. You make a mental note to count down the days till he’s back—two extra weeks added to the original timeline. And you make a mental note to send Jamie a glitter bomb. 

The next day is sucky (just as Ross predicted). You do, in fact, wake up in a stab-y mood, realise that you’ve run out of coffee at this crucial time and you almost get late to work. By lunchtime, you’re in such dire straits that when he calls, you make him talk to you for ten extra minutes. 

Rationally, you know two weeks will be over before you know it but there’s a smaller, irrational part that keeps reminding you that he won’t be here for your anniversary. You keep a reminder of all the days he’s supposed to do interviews and photoshoots, you make sure to wish him luck before each one of them. 

As the anniversary approaches, you keep track of your calendar less and less. Because every time you go on it, that date just keeps glaring at you. 

The night before, he calls as expected. 

‘Three years tomorrow,’ he smiles a big, goofy smile and you can tell he’s in a good mood. 

‘Three years,’ you echo. ‘You have a good day?’

‘An amazing day,’ he replies and then gets cut off by loud excited American chatter. 

‘Are you still out?’ 

‘Just out to grab some things,’ he replies vaguely but doesn’t elaborate further. 

You try to talk some more but the background noise is so loud that he has to hang up quicker than you’re ready for. You huff and go to your shared closet. He already had to take so many of his clothes with him that you’re left with slim pickings but he promised to leave you his grey jumper (“for use only on the bluest of days”)

‘Today certainly counts,’ you mutter darkly to yourself and then pull it over your head. 

Being surrounded by his scent helps a bit but you still toss and turn all night. Scroll through social media aimlessly. Shower him with love and affection on your Instagram stories. 

The day is extra cheery and extra clear when you wake up; as if the universe is trying to rub salt in your wounds. 

Fortunately, your anniversary is a Saturday. or rather unfortunately, you think bitterly. There’s no work to distract you from today. You make pancakes for one, play his favourite songs and dance to them alone. You pick up your phone and see that it’s nowhere near time for him to wake up. Still, you can’t resist shooting him a few quick texts. 

You leave me alone for one anniversary and I’ve started acting like a military wife waiting for her husband to come back from war. 

Happy Anniversary, my love

Come back to me :( 

They get sent but he doesn’t read them. By 9 a.m. your doorbell rings for the first time that day. Pretty flowers show up at your door with a sweet, handwritten note tucked in them. By 10 another package shows up. This time it’s the most gorgeously, outrageously sexy set of lingerie you’ve ever seen. And it’s in his favourite colour too. By 11, a delivery man shows up with a whole box of cupcakes. 

Even when he’s not here, he makes sure to shower you with all the love and affection. Even when he’s not here, you blush at the arrival of each gift and yet you feel his absence pointedly. 

By midday, the excitement of the incoming gift dims and now you’re just waiting for him to call. 

When the bell rings again, you’re slower to react, you try to guess what it is before opening the door. 

Your whole body freezes. 

He can’t be…

Surely not…

‘You’re here!’ you scream like a banshee and launch yourself into his already-open arms. 

You feel him laugh against you, feel his muscles flex as he picks you off the ground and twirls you around. 

‘You’re here,’ you whisper again; this time in disbelief.

‘I’m here,’ he confirms but makes no move to separate himself from you. ‘They cancelled the last photoshoot two days ago. I was going to tell you but then I thought this would be better,’ he confesses guiltily. 

You can’t bring yourself to care about the little white lie because he’s here!

‘I’m sorry you didn’t get the holiday I promised you,’ he whispers into the crook of your neck and you instantly feel your body warm up from the way his breath tickles.

‘Fuck the holiday,’ you mumble into his chest and sniffle a little. 

You feel him smiling in your hair as he breathes your scent in. You realise you’re still standing at the threshold, his bags still need to be taken inside but none of that matters. 

‘My military wife huh?’ he jokes and laughs louder when you slap his chest.

‘Shut up,’ you huff, ‘I was being manipulated into getting emotional.’

HIIIIII, 👀 and 💋 for the wip thing <33333

Hello lovely.

👀 - wip you've got no proper plan for? (eg. just a random idea with no plot development)

I had an idea of concert girly makes eye contact with Ross and she catches his attention and they brush hands during the walk down to b-stage and it's all sparks flying and he's so tempted to ask her backstage but doesn't. But then the next day they meet in a coffee shop or something and he doesn't have the guts to go up to her. But basically they keep bumping into each other in the weirdest circumstances until he's like fuck it the universe is giving me a sign here. But I dunno if I'll write it

💋 - snippet of a wip of your choice

Already done one of these but I'm a whore for snippets so have another:

She shrugs off her brother and eventually the rest of the guys filter out, getting ready for the show. She watches as they begin to soundcheck, George still standing by her side.

“You could at least pretend to be upset for me” she says, nugging against him slightly. She feels him lean into her slightly, lips grazing her ear.

“Upset because you cheated on your boyfriend with me?” he says, his words tickle at her skin and she shivers “never” he walks away from her, all but jumping up to the stage, hiding behind his drum kit but she can see his smirk clear as day.

[queeenpersephone]

hii! just wanted to pop by and say i love love love your iron widow fics so much <33333 binged all your fics on ao3 and by chance stumbled upon your tumblr to read more prompts (loved them) not sure if you are still into tonynat anymore but thank you for your service 🩷 and if by chance you are, would you consider coming back to write fics for tonynat? 😂 i am here anytime for them hehe

hiii omg thank you so much this is so sweet 🥺 i will always be into them haha actually i answered one of those prompts like a week ago - tumblr is so bad at showing you when things are posted lol. i have more in my inbox but i have to kinda take them when inspiration strikes - but asks like these are so inspiring!! i'm still in my reputation series for ironwidow - currently working on fics for both king of my heart and look what you made me do. they are kinda slow going because i'm writing a lot for other fandoms but hoping to have one of them out next month!! you can always send prompts if you'd like for drabbles, and bc this made me smile here's a lil sneak peek of king of my heart:

“Nat,” he breathes over the line, calling for FRIDAY to stop the trace and shut down all recording devices. There’s a moment of soft noises and a thump; he’s sitting down. “Where are you?”

“Unimportant,” she clips in response. It’s only years of training that keeps her tone steady.

Tony has had no such luxury, and he groans at her answer. “Where are you?” He repeats tightly. She can imagine him, sitting hunched over, clutching his chair because he has no physical phone on which to take out his frustrations.

She closes her eyes at the image before she makes them flutter open. “So you can report to Ross?” She accuses, watching the bathroom door. It would be bad for Yelena to see this, to hear him affecting her so. She can’t face the questions or the teasing.

There is a long silence over the line as he digests her words. “Is that what you really think?” He asks finally, the anger palatable in his voice. “After everything?”

This accusation is something she has no response for. She could tell him how hurt she was after he turned her away, how happy she was with him, how regretful she is despite knowing her actions prevented the deaths and capture of their friends. She can feel her heart cracking open again despite how she just stitched it up; she can’t face both Tony and Yelena’s feelings, their censure. The two people she loves more than anyone else. So she pivots.

“I found my sister,” she says. She tries not to think about the way her voice wobbles, but Tony can obviously hear it, if his next words are any indication.

To his credit, Tony says nothing about her having a sister he’s never heard of. She can almost hear his brilliant mind whirling, knows he’s probably already fixating on that little polaroid on the fireplace. “Oh Nat,” he murmurs, and her heart cracks a little more. “How can I help?”

She fights back tears. Some ex-Russian assassin. “Barton and I failed when we tried to destroy the Red Room,” she tells him. “We failed, and there are more Widows because of it.” She pauses. “We’re going after it, Tony. All those girls.”

“I’m coming with you.”

Her heart stops. This is a response she had not expected, could not expect. “The Accords-”

Tony scoffs. “Fuck the Accords. These men are trafficking young girls, yeah? I don’t give a rat’s ass about jurisdiction, Romanoff.”

She smiles despite herself. “We’re still gathering intel,” she tells him, her voice noticeably warmer. “I’ll call if I need the firepower.”

She can hear some fumbling on the other end. “Swear to me, Nat,” he says, serious and low.

“I promise,” she says. It might be a lie, but then again, he knows that. Is probably preparing to help her anyways.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

tagged by @crimsonicarus tyyyyy <33333

How many works do you have on ao3

23 as of today. Tomorrow, who knows? Perhaps 24. I have 5 on ff.net too :P

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 

154,239

3. What fandoms do you write for?

currently only f1. But the full list includes (but is not limited to): Critical Role, Our Flag Means Death, Star Trek, Percy Jackson, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Lord of the Rings, Macbeth, etc

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ongoing Speculation - Critical Role

Diplomatically Inclined - Star Trek

Unspoken Love - Critical Role

Keep a Close Watch - Critical Role

Take my Hand (Take my whole life too) - Our Flag Means Death

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

Always. I love yapping about my fics, and where better to do it than the comments. I'm liable to say too much in the comments, because I'll just say anything. I think it's polite to reply when someone has gone through the effort of engaging in conversation by commenting (I also fall immediately in love with you. so there's also that)

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

Bold of you to suggest I've ever ended a fic. I also have... 4 fics tagged Hurt No Comfort. But I'd say The Mourning After is the angstiest. Of the complete ones. But maybe also just in general.

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

Perhaps Unspoken Love. It has a very cute not friends not dating but more vibe to it. Very QPR. Who doesn't love a good Wizard date not date? Aeor is for Lovers, after all.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no hate comments but sometimes I think my readers hate me for what I put them through <3

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

nothing that ao3 knows about... yet...

what kind? ummm.... fucked up? Awful? its me, what else is new?

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

hell yes. My first fic was a crossover, gotta stay true to myself. The craziest one I've written. well. it doesn't exist on the internet. but it features Hamlet/Robert Ross (from the World War One novel The Wars) as well as Ahsoka Tano/Darth Maul/Din Djarin (The Mandalorian). That or the Formula One Hamlet AU I partially wrote (and never posted).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

lmao, doubt it

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

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

not really. but if you yap at me about a fic concept there's about a 95% chance I'll write it for you.

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Shadowgast got me through the pandemmy and I adore them with my whole heart. But also. Glance Nation. I couldn't live without you. <3

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

all of them I really wanted to finish The Shadow of You, had it all planned out and everything. But then first year uni happened and I just never came back to it :/. I WILL finish my current WIPS. Manifesting for myself.

16. What are your writing strengths?

umm... angst?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Emotional consistency. I always overcomplicate things to the nth degree and then get stuck trying to figure out what everyone is thinking. It's a disease but I won't stop doing it.

Also plain romance. I just get bored lmao. There's a reason my fluffy things are all a little weird. That or they're just crack treated seriously. I have no middle ground.

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

if it's a language I speak then it's good, if I don't speak it then it's bad, hope that makes sense :)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

If we're being all the way honest it was Octonauts when I was 8 before I even knew what the concept of fanfiction was. That one is lost to time and probably also the recycling bin I'm afraid.

If we're talking fic I wrote knowing what fic is it was a most definitely Clone Wars fanfic, none of it published. The first one I published was a Clone Wars/Percy Jackson crossover. A New Camper on ff.net. Go read it if you wanna see what 13 year old me was up to :)

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

those are my children. you can't make me pick. i love them all in different ways

But Blackout my beloved... I love you so much. Kissing you on the lips. I know I've been an absent mother but I'll be back for you I swear.

wow this really turned into me writing my own expose. if you want a full tour of my ao3 you're on your own tho bc I can't remember a single thing I wrote during the pandemic. this was fun tho. a real mixed bag going on over here on my ao3

No idea who's been tagged, so if you want to: @weegreenbean @pitconfirm @autumn816 and anyone else who would like to. Tell me about your rich and varied pasts
