Ok so from piarles...who fell first and who fell harder 👀

(this ask is in reference to this post i reblogged a week or so ago)

and what an excellent question, anon!! it made me grin so much when i first saw it, because if there's one thing i absolutely LOVE, it's talking about my ship opinions/characterisations/headcanons, etc etc. ESPECIALLY lately, when my writing brain is a bit offline, and all i can do is think and daydream...

anyways. SO: to actually answer your question, dear anon, i honestly think that a very compelling argument could be made for having this both ways around. it depends on the setting you're going for (canon-adjacent or AU, the specific background of that fic, etc etc...)

with that said, though - personally, i have a big soft spot for "charles fell first, pierre fell harder." i love the idea of charles (who, perpetual middle child that he is, always looked up to & admired pierre when they were younger) then growing up and realising that fuck, pierre has been different to everyone else all along, and it's because charles has loved him all along. simultaneously, pierre grows up to be a bit of a whore (affectionate) and he sleeps with a whole bunch of people until it SUDDENLY hits him, almost out of the blue, that the only person he wants forever is charles.

and like this excellent post said: charles has been living with his feelings/trying to ignore them for much longer, while pierre is hit by them full-force out of the blue - and he proceeds to be incredibly possessive and insane about charles. (that, incidentally, is ALSO one of my most favourite tropes - pierre being possessive and insane about charles.)

so yeah! i am definitely on team "charles fell first, pierre fell harder" - but like i said, i do think this trope can be done BRILLIANTLY no matter which way around you do it!

what do YOU think, anon? what's your soft spot? 👀😍

Something where the joker out guys are sick of Bojan and Jere pining for each other and being totally oblivious so they scheme to get them together/admit their feelings/kiss whatever. I'm not sure exactly how they can do that but maybe someone else has an idea for some sneaky plans or how to trick them into a situation

Hello, dear anon! First, may I interest you in this (eventual) Jance fic by @ana-chronista that seems to have potential for this trope for Bojan/Jere. It's funny :)

Here's my take. Dialogue-only again (wanted to type something out quickly), Joker Out edition! You can decide for yourself who's who ❤️

"I think I’ve had enough. Haven’t you guys had enough?”

“Yeah, I think so. It was bad enough yesterday, and it’s only getting worse.”

“I’m going to strangle him with that fucking beanie soon.”

“If I have to hear one more fucking ‘ARE YOUU’ –”

“I swear, if they don’t work it out someone’s gonna get thrown out the window.”

“So, what do we do? We have to do something.”

“We could get them drunk tonight?”

“We’ve tried that before. Bojan drinks too much and becomes totally unfuckable.”

“We sabotage his alarm tomorrow morning so he’ll have to stay?”

“That would be good, except we kinda need him for Stožice rehearsal.”

“One day couldn’t hurt?”

“You really think he’d make it back after only a day?”

“Yeah, good point.”

“What if one of us just tells Jere?”

“Bojći would never forgive us.”

“He would if it works out?”

“We still don’t know for sure, though.”

“Don’t we? I mean. Look at them.”

“Still, it could backfire. I think he needs to do it on his own.”

“Truth or dare? Never have I ever, again?”

“One hotel room, one bed?”

“Sex pollen?”

“What?”

“Sorry, I thought we were just shouting out fanfiction tropes.”

“Again, what?”

“Never mind. CPR demonstration?”

“Mistletoe? Fake New Years?”

“We make them jealous? Someone hits on Jere?”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“Yeah, maybe not.”

“What if we just… took off?”

“You mean, now?”

“We’re all in the van. They’re still out there. Now’s our chance.”

“But…”

“There’s still plenty of time before soundcheck. And we won’t go too far. Let’s just scare them a little.”

“It’s worth a try?”

“Fine. Hey, let’s go! Go go go!”

“I’m going to text him. Dear… Mr… Cvjetićanin. This is your audacity calling. I have kidnapped your band. To get them back and to recover your dignity, please let the one and only Mr. Worldwide next to you know how you feel, and beg him to let you in his pants ASAP. Do this at your earliest convenience so we can make it to soundcheck on time, and also so your band won’t have to slap you into next week. Thank you for your cooperation.”

“Not too over the top at all, there.”

“Tell that to your shirt.”

“Has he seen it?”

“Yeah, he’s typing. ‘not funny, come back right now’. Predictable.”

“What’s next, ‘you are all jerks and I’ll tell your mommies’?”

“Umm, guys? I just got a text from Jere.”

“He has your number?”

“He knows your name??”

“Ha ha. It says, ‘I have plan tonight, back off.’”

“Huh.”

“Wow.” 

“Okay.”

“So… I guess we go back?”

“Yeah. But how are we going to…”

“Act like normal?”

“We’re so good at that.”

“So does this mean I have to put up with that same shit the whole day? Please, I can’t.”

“Maybe he’ll have something else to think about now, at least.”

“Who woulda thunk that guy had it in him?”

“Always knew it.”

“You would, you’re so soft on him.”

“Shut up.”

“I just hope it works out.”

“Which is worse, pining miserable Bojan, or just-got-laid-and-you-didn’t Bojan?”

“My money’s on the second, but I guess we’ll find out.”

“Yippee. Can’t fucking wait.”

between hope and desperation for the game? if you're still doing that, if not, have a lovely day <3

Hi anon ❤️ I’m so so sorry for how long it’s taken for me to reply to this. The holidays are just so busy, and visiting home makes writing a slower type of process. And for some reason, BHaD takes so much longer than other stories! I think I just want this one in particular to be perfect, and that’s tripping me up.

Thank you asking for this story, though. I love it, and it is coming! 😅 slowly but surely!

I have a job for you, Brekker had said when she was summoned to his office. The words were out before she even had a chance to breathe. But, I need your utmost discretion. Is that clear?

Nina barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes— they’d been constantly searching for nearly two days! She was too tired to waste her breath coming up with comebacks for the likes of Kaz Brekker.

And besides, she heard his heart. It was hammering away in his chest— terrified.

Instead, Nina just raised an expectant eyebrow.

There’s a property manager in the Zelver District by the name of Smeet— he does all manner of work with the assets of different merchant council members, and anyone else with secrets they can afford to pay him to hide. He handles the more conventional things, yes, but is also known in the right circles for being discreet. He likes gambling at the Club Cumulus, and has a penchant for young blondes who aren’t his wife. He takes these blondes to a set of rooms he rents in the Garden District.

And what does this have to do with me? Or Jesper and—

Patience, dear Nina. He was snide, choosing to condescend to her rather than snapping. It was absolutely worse than his usual short temper, and her chest went hot with the flush of anger. I’ll answer questions at the end.

I have it on good authority that these rooms aren’t just where he keeps secrets from his wife. They’re also where he keeps his clients' most clandestine paperwork— the things they want records of without them ending up on any official books. They’re kept in a safe behind the mirror in the bedroom. It’s bolted into the wall, has a gaudy old frame— you can’t miss it.

Nina blinked. Are you asking me to sleep with some crusty old lawyer?

It was a strange kind of relief, watching the way Kaz’s face twisted at the idea. He shot her a look that was an emphatic no, if ever she saw one. She felt herself exhale. At least that was one less fight she needed to have.

I want you to flirt your way into his secret rooms, and get answers from him. He said it as if that was obvious. Use your power to learn what you can, then take him out. The safe combination is 6-8-3-4– take duplicates on anything you find of note in the Van Eck file.

I still don’t understand what this has to do with Jesper or Wylan. Your crows are missing! Your best friend! And his—

I know what Jesper is to me. Kaz snapped, slamming a drawer. He had a blonde wig in his gloved hand. But what do you actually know about Wylan?

At the time, it had stalled her heart. Kaz’s blood pressure had spiked on Wylan’s name, and his eyes were like pieces of ice.

Thanks so much for your patience! And thank you for playing my little game ❤️❤️❤️

Ally!! How have you been? It’s been a while and I definitely owe you an apology for basically disappearing from your inbox for however long. Basically — personal and professional life got extremely hectic around the same time as your travels and I was pretty much running around like a headless chicken but I want you to know that I was thinking about you!! I just didn’t have the energy or time to construct an ask of any sort of substance, BUT I am back and promise I won’t disappear like that again!!

Forever: this is a fic I never thought would exist and even though I know very little about Noah Khan I fully trust your vision and I’m so excited for this story to unfold. I can already tell the vibes are vibing and it’s shaping up to be the ultimate angsty autumn fic I’m craving.

Oaf: Ally you literally never fail to amaze me. I love the way you describe all of fictional! Mattys feelings in excruciating detail it makes me so ☹️☹️☹️ for him. Oh and fictional! Ross figuring out what happened because he could smell George on matty 😭 I need to know whats going o in georges head and I need him to get tolkd off but I also need him just hold matty… I could just ramble and ramble about this fic forever. I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: this is the first omegaverse fic I’ve ever read and it has singlehandedly made me a lover of the genre.

Anyway, I hope you’re doing good and I hope you haven’t forgotten about me even if I’m just a stranger in your ask box lol 🩷🩷🩷

-🥤smoothie anon

AHHH MY DEAR SMOOTHIE ANON IT IS SO LOVELY TO HEAR FROM YOU!! No apologies ever necessary, I fully understand life can be crazy and busy and unpredictable. It is so wonderful to hear from you though and I hope that things have started to get better and less hectic! My DMs are also always open if you ever want to chat more!

!!! Thank you SO MUCH for giving Forever. a chance! I know it has an even smaller audience than ATKH did, but it was the story that I really wanted to write, and those kind of stories are the most fun for me to write... so I'm embracing it lol It is fully going to be an angsty fall fic and I am just... I'm so excited. I haven't been this excited about a fic or writing in general in a while and the fact that I've found the excitement again has me super happy! I was worried I was broken for a bit there 😬

I'm so glad that you liked the new OAF chapter! I was worried it was going to fall short since I had made everyone wait so long, but at the same time I was happy with it? My biggest regret with that fic is that we haven't gotten to know Fictional!Ross more because OAF Fictional!Ross is just a wonderful guy even if he gets on Fictional!Matty's nerves sometimes lol I can't wait to start wrapping OAF up and for Fictional!George to make his reappearance! ALSO thank you SO MUCH for giving the omegaverse a try with this one! I know it's not for everyone and I am so grateful for anyone who has given it a shot - thank you thank you thank you!

Don't worry Smoothie anon, I could never forget about you! I am sending all the good vibes your way and I hope to hear from you again soon! xoxo

❤️Ally

Hi, I’m the one who sent the ask about how Rhett feels about his family and I love your thoughts on it!! ❤️

I, too think that they are a very close knit family even though they sometimes focus more on Perry’s feelings. I’m not saying it’s right that they do but I think it’s because perry is a little more sensitive (like how Rhett mentioned when he and royal were fixing the fence). And I think Rhett would need a partner that got along well with his family and have dinner with them often since they are so close. Do you think he would want his partner to move to the ranch or buy their own little place? Do you think he’d ever actually leave that town? Sorry this was so long lol 😂

hi dear anon! thank you so much for letting me know, bless you! i’m pleased to hear, mwah! 💖

No, no do not apologise at all! Character discussions are my literal kink.

Yes absolutely, you’re so right! And whenever Rhett brought up Perry in any negative way, his family would try and defend Perry the best they could, disregarding what Rhett had to say.

For the partner, as we saw with Maria, Rhett was desperate to leave and get out of town, but I think it depends at what point Rhett met reader.

If it was pre Outer Range I think they would stay, but maybe get their own little place not too far down from the ranch. If it was after the events of the series, I think Rhett is doing exactly what he did with Maria and promising reader to leave town.

He’s got a chance to start over and also be cleared for murder. He’s getting out as soon as he can.

let me know what you think my dear anon! 💌💖

☀️ Has anyone ever left you a comment that made your day? What did it say?

💡 What’s the weirdest thing you’ve been inspired by?

So I've talked about some applicable comments here (which include yours, my dear), and I'll take this chance to share more that have absolutely made my day!

-Salome. She has left comments on every single chapter of Latch that have left me in piles of absolute mush and disbelief. She always has the sweetest words to say, and I love how she picks out passages to emphasize! More often than not they're some of my favorites as well 🥰 @salome-c

-B! I always look forward to hearing B's reactions to OLAT or Latch; always so kind, sweet, and energetic, her comments make me want to run back to my laptop and keep writing right away! I'll see her url pop up in my notifs and think 'yes, this day just got better' before I've even looked at it. 💖 @literallydontlook

-@justdrawings101 has left many sweet comments in my inbox about OLAT. I found myself gushing over their words so much! And in their comment about chapter 12, they wished me well and hoped I was having fun and taking care of myself, which meant so much to me 🥺

-There have been comments messaged to me, I don't know if those folks would appreciate being tagged so I'll keep the names to myself, but they complimented my writing and rendition of Din's character in ways that had me feeling very proud of myself. Comments like those, they make me want to keep getting better so that I can create more worlds like OLAT and Latch. And they make me feel so secure about writing for Din, since I was very worried about writing him poorly!

-This wasn't technically a comment on any of my works, but a while back I reblogged a post to have people assume things about me based on my writing and one anon absolutely hit the nail on the head in ways I never expected, and I honestly took that as a compliment because it meant the message I was intending to send in my fic was actually being delivered! It was hilarious and wonderful and I still think about that anon fondly. 💖

-Literally every comment brings me so much joy, even if some stick around in my head longer. Every keysmash, emoji spam, gif/meme, caps lock shrieks of yearning or curiosity, I eat it all up. I love you all so much!

Weirdest thing I've been inspired by? Hm... So parts of Latch are actually inspired by a fic that I never wrote, but that I fully played out in my mind. Over the course of a few weeks last winter, I had some downtime and spent it just telling myself this story (it was a coworkers to lovers AU, in case you were wondering) in my brain and picturing every little thing as clearly as I could. This was way before I even thought of sharing any of my writing; when I did start doing that, I thought I might write this one down one day. But when I eventually came up with the idea for Latch I decided that instead of trying to write out the entire strange mess that lived in my head, I'd borrow from it. Things like the muffins, Harley's character, Karga's position, and lots of other little details are from that original fic that I called Higher Love (Gila from OLAT originated from this fic as well!).

It had a very interesting premise as well, but I still loved it 😂

Thank you so much for asking, Simone! ❤️

OK, I just really need to say this. I love your blog 🤘❤️ But not just because you post interesting/awesome content (which you do 👑). I love your page because it is free of hate. You are positive and respectful to all sorts of different things and I really appreciate that.  You don’t post hate about the actors, the writers, the staff, or to different facets of the fandom - and you have no idea how much relief and comfort that brings. I have honestly been scared out of this fandom numerous times because of high-tension and high-hate between the fans (which I have honestly, never understood).

You have no idea how many times I’ve seen something funny/interesting on Tumblr, clicked on the person’s account follow them, and then was immediately turned off from their account because of hate - either preached in their header, or pinned to the top of the page. I don’t think people understand how much this kind of ongoing hate sours the fandom. I am not personally a shipper or stan for any of the characters, but I don’t have a problem with fellow friends/fans who stan one character or ship another. Everyone is free to like what they like. It’s fiction. The rivalries that have been birthed within this fandom have ruined the fun little fictional escape that we all once had and have turned it into high-tension arguments. Fiction and fandom have always been meant to create a place for imagination, escape, and fun. And at this point, it often feels so toxic that I don’t ever want to venture back in.

Today, I decided to take a chance and test the waters. I was lucky enough to have clicked on your account. And I’m really grateful for that, because your blog was nothing but welcoming and fun. So I just wanted to say thank you because the way you handle your account is incredibly mature and very much appreciated.

First of all - THANK YOU! I am a total loss of words right now, i am very humbled by your compliments. Even though i am not an original content creator, i try to keep this place free of hate and bullying, cause that’s what i truly feel and i know that we can share interests and respect different pov’s of said interests, as long as it’s not hurting or offending anybody. Love and support takes a lot less energy than hate and wars, and are way more gratifying.

Dear anon, if you ever want to talk please feel free to message me anytime, i would really love that, your message was super kind and made my day :)

[singsweetmelodies]

60, 59, 36 and 14 for the otp ask?❤️

thanks so much for these, dear anon! let's make these last ones fully fill that saying "last but not least" :D 💞

60. Who pulls the other closer when they’re sleeping?

answered here 💙

59. Who tops? Who bottoms?

HAHAHAHAHAHA, omg. omfg. you know, i was just waiting for someone to send this ask. i was waiting for it, bahahaha. i bet you knew exactly what you were doing with this one, right, anon? lmaooo.

well, the first thing i'm going to say is - according to the people, here is your answer. charles bottoms 98% of the time, whereas pierre is 100% a switch. so it would usually be pierre tops and charles bottoms, but very occasionally, they switch it up. 👌

and you know what, i agree. the piarlies have excellent taste 😌 in my headcanons, yep, pierre tops, 9 times out of 10. to me, he just gives such cocky, confident top energy most of the time - he's all "yep, i have a big cock, and i know what to do with it" BDE. sometimes, though. sometimes he can just be such an incredible little shit, and so infuriating, but in the cutest way possible. "baby brother mode activated," as i like to call it - because he knows he's annoying, but he also knows he can get away with it, because he knows exactly how cute he is. at times like these, i feel like he just needs to be pushed up against a wall and kissed stupid. or maybe bent over a table and --[gunshots]

and as for charles - well, i mean, if you just look at charles interacting with any other man... he's not a top. or at least, not usually. he's got the biggest babygirl/pillow princess/bottom energy i have ever seen in a professional athlete, lmfao. (i adore him for it.) i do also think, though, that charles is not 100% a bottom. i mean, hell, he's a race-car driver, and he's said it himself that he can be a control freak. so i feel like sometimes - but only sometimes! - that translates into bed, and he wants to be in control. he's also fit enough (thanks for the proof, ferrari thirst traps) that he's definitely strong enough to push pierre up against things and hold him down, if he really wants to. but that's the exception, not the rule. most of the time, he's more than happy to lie back and be taken apart 😌 which works out very well, because pierre loves to top if it's charles beneath him. match made in heaven <3

36. Who's more likely to fire up the stove at 2am because the other woke up in the middle of the night hungry?

to be completely honest with you, i don't think either of them would do this with a great deal of success - purely because i don't think either of them are the very best of cooks. charles, as we know, is very proud of the fact that he can do a good pasta. but... that's also about all he can do 😆 and pierre is not a lot better, lmao. in fact, in my headcanon, his culinary skills are limited to a fry-up. so if either of them were to wake up suddenly and ravenously hungry at night, i think they'd be more likely to raid the fridge/pantry and eat whatever they can find, diets notwithstanding.

and as for who would do it for who - well, i feel like charles sleeps like the absolute dead, lmao, and takes about twenty-odd minutes to wake up properly. the chances of him being coherent enough to do anything for pierre at 2am are incredibly low. pierre, on the other hand, is probably one of those people who gets massive bursts of energy late at night. so i'm just imagining an exhausted charles trailing after a hyper pierre, trying not to fall asleep on his shoulder as pierre raids the fridge... 🥺 that is an INCREDIBLY cute image, actually, and i kind of love it. yep! that's my answer. charles would wake up at 2am and stagger down to the kitchen with pierre, but he'd be a lot less helpful and a lot more sleepy and cute. and then they would probably end up making out on the counter, because charles is just too adorable when he's all soft and sleepy like that, and pierre can't help himself. midnight snack forgotten in favour of... well, midnight dessert. heh. needless to say, that's sleeping done for the evening.

14. How do their personalities compliment each other? How do they clash?

oooooohhh, this is a fab one! and fair warning... i fucking LOVE to talk about characterisation/how these two are foils for each other, so *ahem* buckle yourself in, because this is going to be a long one.

the first point i want to talk about is a bit of a depressing one, but it's also one that i feel is very crucial to their characters. it's all about how they handle loss - and i touched on it a little bit here, when i was talking about hiding their emotions/the other being able to tell anyway. but i want to go into a bit more depth here: especially on charles. because i feel like charles is someone who has lost so much - and yet, he manages to do almost unbelievable things (like win an f2 race) right after terrible loss (his father passing away.) to me, this is a crucial part of who he is. he is able to compartmentalise incredibly effectively - he has to be, otherwise there's no way he'd still be able to race after everything he's lost. he has also said in interviews that he's all about living in the moment, and knowing how lucky he is that he gets to be where he is. so, yeah. charles is someone who handles loss by compartmentalising it, and then not dwelling on it in favour of focusing on what he does have, instead.

pierre, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. like i said in that linked post, he has a tendency to overthink, and get lost in his own head about things. if he makes a mistake, he's likely to replay it, and agonise over it to the point that it becomes worse and worse. this is, of course, the exact opposite to charles, who doesn't dwell on mistakes or losses. he just moves on to the next thing he can control - which is both a good thing, and sometimes less good, because there are times in which you need to take the time to process. so i feel like their personalities complement each other incredibly well in that aspect: when pierre overthinks too much, charles is there to ground him and help him let it go/live in the moment for a little while. at the same time, pierre is there to remind charles that it's okay to let himself overthink, just once in a while, to help him process. and since they've known each other for so long, i think they've helped each other like this a lot of times. so, yeah. that's a beautiful point of complimenting personalities there.

another point of characterisation i want to talk about is their sibling status! anyone with siblings knows alllll the sibling clichés, lmao - but the thing about clichés is they're often rooted in truth. charles is a middle child, and middle children are often the ones struggling with self-doubt and a lack of self-confidence because their older sibling gets all the praise. now, i don't think this is quite the case for charles, but then again, he did grow up in both lorenzo AND jules' shadows. that can't have been easy, and charles has confirmed in that f1 "when we were young" documentary that he's always struggled to believe in himself. we see it today still - when something goes wrong, he will always blame himself. when it goes right, he will thank the team, not himself. argh. my heart. but anyway. to contrast this with pierre! pierre, now, is a completely different story. he's a youngest child - the absolute baby of his family - and also, per that one biography of his, the "glue" that keeps the entirety of the gasly family together. he's very much adored there, and i can just imagine him being spoiled rotten, lmao. the result of this is that he has a whole fuck-ton of self-confidence, and that he's also quite used to getting his way.

clearly, this contrasts quite sharply with charles, and i can imagine them clashing over it, every so often. maybe pierre can be a little too cocky and energetic and/or needy when charles just needs a little more time to feel more settled and less self-doubting. however - and pierre and charles' own interviews support me here - i don't think they actually clash, as in fight, all that often. actually, they have said that they agree on almost everything, and very rarely argue. so, yeah. while i can imagine small, bitchy fights if they're both stressed, and getting on each other's nerves, i don't really think that they would get into very big blow-ups. also? they just care about each other too much to truly be petty. and they understand each other, so, again, it's easy to resolve fights and forgive each other. 💜

ahhh, and i could talk about characterisation for literal hours more, but i shall force myself to stop, because i do still need to get some work done today 🥲 one last little point before i go, though: another way in which i think pierre and charles are beautifully complimentary is in their shared sense of humour. i am going to link you to two videos to prove my case: here we have a tiny sauber!charles laughing his babygirl head off at jokes and puns that really aren't even funny. and here we have an equally tiny toro rosso!pierre, also giggling like crazy at dad jokes that definitely aren't that amusing. my conclusion? they share the same terrible sense of humour, and that's probably why we always, always see them laughing and giggling together. and you know how the saying goes: boyfriends who laugh together, stay together :DD <3
