20 Questions for Writers

Thanks for the tag @lyntergalactic (like ten years ago, sorryyyy) and @spiritofthenortheners 💜💜💜

I played this back in December-ish, so some stuff hasn't changed but I'm happy to do it again!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 16! Which is twice as many as I had last time I played this, woohoo!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 254,307

3. What fandoms do you write for? So far, a couple different versions of Star Wars (mostly TCW) and also Stranger Things

Click to see the rest so I don't take over your dash!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Maybe 10% Better (Stranger Things, Steddie)

Trying to Escape What You Can't Let Go (TCW, genfic)

Less Talk More Rokk (Stranger Things, Steddie)

Plans (Star Wars: Rebels, Kalluzeb)

TIED FOR FIFTH: A Flimsi Excuse (TCW, QuinFox) and Built on Bones and Middens (TCW, QuinFox)

5. Do you respond to comments? Hell yeah!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? A Mandalorian Comes Riding (TCW, Jangobi) is a pretty rough one.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most of them Let's say Picture (Im)perfect (TCW, Waxer/Boil)

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not yet? 😬

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! I really love to write smut that's fun and full of banter and a little bit of push-and-pull.

10. Do you write crossovers? Nah, not my thing

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Nope

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not yet, but I'm open to the idea!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, I don't know if I'd ever want to subject anyone to that 🤣

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? I am a ship slut not the sort to get locked down, but Destiel held my singular attention for several years in a row.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? As I think I said last time, a Foxiyo fic that I accidentally outlined to death. I think if I let it breathe I may resurrect it one day.

16. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue, I think, but I may be biased because I also think that's the most fun to write.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I think I often get too caught up in what a character is doing and don't spend enough time on what they're thinking and feeling.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I've done a bit of Mando'a but I think it should just be a smattering, if at all. Otherwise, just write it in English and say that it's in [whatever language]. Like in Hunt for Red October where they zoom in on that guy's face and then zoom back out and everyone is just speaking English with bad Russian accents.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Star Wars: Rebels

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? At the moment I'll say Built on Bones and Middens, the QuinFox mystery fic I wrote for the 2023 Clone Bang. It's my longest fic to date and I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

Hello! I have just discovered your blog and oh my god your art is so great! I love it 🧡 I rarely meet artists on Tumblr who would mainly create traditional/handmade arts so your blog literally made my day, thank you. I adore those lovely black and white drawings of yours!!! And it inspires me now to do some stuff too AAAA love ya 🧡 Also a little request: could you please draw more Livio? Maybe modern au Livio (with Wolfwood maybe?) with some more characteristics? Thanks!

Omg thank you that's really sweet!!! Idk if anyone is gonna care about it but I'll rant anyway, I was more of a digital artist originally (as you can still see with my art tag), but I kinda had a burn out last year (╥﹏╥)

I've always had a complicated relationship with art honestly. I can't help but comparing myself to artists who post amazing fully rendered illustrations all the time, so I end up spending too much time on big digital pieces and it's really tiring

I went back to traditional to kinda force myself to be more self indulgent and less perfectionist, and I honestly didn't think my traditional art would be as appreciated as my digital pieces?? I'm so glad yall proved me wrong (≧▽≦)

I didn't draw your request yet sorryyyy but I want to draw more modern AU stuff and post it all together later ✌

[hyukalyptus]

hey i'm synnie and welcome to jackass

NO MINORS, NO MEANIES.

probably older than you, weird as fuck, terminally online. i interact from @vulqan and am tracking #vonswayenthusiast and #vulqan.

my posts • my clips • my art • Ethowatching masterpost • taglist

everything i post has either been described in alt text or transcribed for accessibility unless otherwise noted (#undescribed) when posting. i also occasionally describe/transcribe reblogs; you may use my descriptions and transcriptions in your original post without credit. if i have mis-described or -transcribed something please let me know! i have an auditory processing issue that sometimes makes it difficult to transcribe accurately, and i'm human so i mess things up sometimes. as long as it's kindly stated i love corrections so that my posts can be accessible as possible :]

unless you state otherwise in your description or pinned post i Will call you by your name/username in the tags. i'm sorry in advance for the jumpscare. (along these lines, i will also at some point probably screenshot your tags or your post replies to reply to them.)

i block assholes and minors. this is stated above only because literally no one reads this thing before following apparently. regarding the latter, i'm probably old enough to be your mom so i cultivate my spaces to be adult-only and i will block you if you follow me. i don't have a problem with interaction tho (can't stop you/don't expect you to check my blog before interacting). regarding the former, ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯. don't be a dick, mayne. this includes anyone who directly states "kill yourself [group of people]" in their bio/pinned post. you're fucking weird, get away from me.

i post art sometimes. it's fine to use my art with credit as avatars/banners without asking first. send an ask to be on/removed from the taglist when i post new stuff. there's no obligation to interact with taglist posts when you're on it, i just know some people prefer them so i figured i'd run one.

we're hermitshippers here. i also suggestivepost sometimes. don't follow if you're not into that. xoxo.

on hc/esmp/traffic i watch bdubs, cleo, etho, fwhip, grian, impulse, jimmy, joel, lizzie, martyn, mumbo, oli, pixl, scar, scott, skizz, tango, x, and zedaph. bolded CCs are the ones i talk about the most.

other mcyters i watch include aust, ivory, kolanii, limecookii, mogswamp, owen, switchbackmongo, wadzee, waxfraud, and wilbur on occasion. i normally do not blog about them but if i do, they're tagged. (bolded CCs are smaller channels i recommend :>)

i tag what i consider to be common triggers but i do not take tag requests because i will inevitably forget and then we'll both feel bad. other commonly-used organizational tags can be found here (mobile version; these aren't clickable at the moment i'm sorryyyy). i do my best to tag same-day spoilers with #hermitcraft spoilers or #empires spoilers.

my posts are always okay to reblog unless i have specifically turned off the reblog function.

i don't care about spam notifs - i filter out likes and i love reading reblogged tags so go crazy go stupid etc etc.

dassit. enyoy!

11- biggest regret??

Not knowing MCR existed when they were still together.

THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH FOR THE TAGS <3 <3 <3

[essegigi]

(More Untamed stuff, sorry not sorry) Since I just finished reading MDZS, I just wanna ramble about my drama vs novel thoughts.

Short non-spoiler version: Novel is worth reading to fill in some plot holes and missing information, but imo the live action did better with characters and relationships. I really only recommend the novel if you’re looking to understand the plot better. If you’re looking for decent queer content...maybe not.  

More rambling (and probably spoilers)  under the cut! 

So my main frustrations with the live action are mostly plot-related, some are small things but others are kinda major. I know they had to make a lot of adjustments due to censorship (besides no explicit lgbt there’s also no reanimation/ghosts/etc...which is a huge part of the plot) and on the whole they did pretty well...but there are so many instances where they kept certain dialogue or other details accurate to the novel but then the follow-up changed so it suddenly made no sense. Or there was no follow-up at all! For example, WWX says he will participate in a hunt blindfolded, and then just...doesn’t. They could have just cut those lines, they serve no purpose without the relevant scene. Then there’s a whole explanation about the blood pool but then it literally plays no part? Even later when WWX’s like “I’m gonna lure them to the blood pool,” they go the complete opposite way??? And they never actually reveal what was supposed to be in the coffin that JGY dug up? And when the Wen clan remnants were supposed to look after WWX but then immediately just leave with the siblings instead? They could have cut a single line and it would be less contradictory, although...

...That actually leads into my biggest plot pet peeve with the drama. The Wen clan remnants sacrificing themselves along with Wen Qing and Wen Ning...why??? There wasn’t even any dialogue that supported it, the scene leading up to it was accurate to the novel in that the siblings were the only ones required to give themselves up in order to save the others. Instead they needlessly throw away everything WWX has given his life to save? UGH. I know they had to change some things leading up to WWX’s death, but that was such a lazy and unnecessary solution. 

And of course I also have to talk about the main pair. So I know I’m not the only one who is very impressed with how well the live action was able to keep the feel of the relationship between WWX and LWJ even without being able to explicitly say it (though it’s not like they were subtle). They were so faithful to a lot, and imo even improved upon some if it somehow? Also...ironic, unexpected upside to the lgbt censorship is wayyy less homophobia. I didn’t really care for the constant "ewwww gay” from so many of the characters in the novel. Reading WWX try to take advantage of “gay panic” as MXY was also super uncomfortable. Thank goodness we didn’t have to suffer through that in the live action.

And ok, yes, I’m ace, and I don’t care for sex scenes in general (I knew what I was getting into and was able to skip most of it) so I may be biased, but even without that, the relationship between WWX and LWJ in the novel gets really uncomfortable because so much is shown through jealousy and non-consensual situations. No. Thank. You. I’ve seen people claim “ahhh but it’s their kink, don’t kink-shame” like...y’all realize they’re characters written by a (presumably) straight woman, right? They’re not real people, and she deliberately wrote them that way? For an audience of mostly straight women? Thankfully in the live action that’s mostly gone, while all the protectiveness and pining is still pretty much intact! It actually seems more romantic imo...

The only live action scene between them that makes me uncomfortable is early on when WWX makes LWJ drink alcohol. While yes, drunk LWJ is funny and cute, the situation itself is suuuper uncomfortable and I wish they hadn’t added it, or had come up with different circumstances. (Later when he makes the conscious decision to drink, that’s much better! ...except in the novel when it leads to them having sex for the first time. Not great.)

Oh, and I was surprised to find out how much the live action had added to Wen Ning, Wen Qing, Jiang Yanli, and even MianMian! That was an excellent decision, imo. It added a lot more to certain character relationships, plus...it’s a bit lacking in lady characters, anyways. And Wen Ning is one of my faves in the show.

On that note, they also added a TON to the flashbacks, to the point where it takes up 30 out of the 50 episodes, haha. But! I can totally see why they did, and having it as a more complete story really helps flesh out the characters and relationships. It would have been far more confusing to jump in and out of flashbacks like the novel, I think. Though personally I was anxious to get past the flashbacks...it really did add a lot to character relationships and motivations.

Anyways, I will probably rewatch the show again at some point, and having the plot holes mentally filled in will be nice! I don’t plan on reading the novel again, though.
