11 and 19 for the gif asks please :)

Hi! Yey questions! Flower for you for dropping in.🌼

11.do you listen to music when gifing?

Always. The only time I don't, is if I'm listening to @the-conversation-pod because it's the only podcast I listen to. But other than that yes. I usually pick the music depending on what I'm giffing and the time of day. Sometimes it's the official ost, like with Tsukutabe or Jack O'Frost because the osts were wonderful and other times is a mood thing. Also if I'm giffing late at night it's usually more instrumental stuff so I'm not tempted to sing. But honestly if I'm not watching something I'm usually listening to music at all times.

19.    favorite fandom to gif for

I mostly gif for the bl fandom. I have giffed some kdramas and the latest Doctor Who specials, but 99% is bl. My favourite though is specifically jbls, specially the ones that aren't airing because everyone once in a while someone reblogs with a tag that says something like - I didn't know about this show and I'm gonna watch it - or something to that effect and it makes me really happy. It happened more than a couple of times during my Kieta Hatsukoi mission and it has already happened for the WDYEY mission and it's the best.

Thanks for the question Rae💜

Hellooooo!

I've been lurking for some time now and I just wanted to come in here and thank you for making my life less boring!

Your blog, fanfic and just the way you interact with people have had such a positive impact on my life. It helped me to connect with people and be less anxious and overthink everything. Simply because I feel less bad about sharing it with my friends.

Omega you'll get there, I believe in you

Anyway, while I won't need your blog to help me fight boredom during class -graduated today yaaaay- I'll still be a lurker here and on Patreon.

I hope your pillow is cold on both sides and that you have a great weekend. Cause in Germany it's already Friday.

Don't feel the need to answer this, just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you.

Awww 🥺 thank you so much omg this is so sweet. I'm so glad I've been able to help you, love 💚💚

Congrats on your graduation!! 🥳 that's exciting!!!

Aah you're so sweet I can't 😭 making me cry happy tears.

[timandlucy]

Just popping in to say I hope you have a great weekend!

And also, a few asks...

-What's your favorite story you've written?

-Is there an idea you have for a story you want to write, but haven't yet?

-What are you enjoying most this season?

-What's something you want to see this season that you haven't yet?

Ahhhh thank you Becca! I hope you have a lovely one as well! Also these asks are so fun, thank you 💛 I appreciate being included 🙈

-What's your favorite story you've written?

I truly don't think I've written any really remarkable ones for Chenford, but you drew stars (around my scars) has a special place in my heart. I just always found it odd that they chose that day/storyline to completely remove Tim from Lucy's life, especially since they went through that together in a way. I love writing codas and episode fix-its and I think that might be my fave I've written.

-Is there an idea you have for a story you want to write, but haven't yet?

Oh... you have no idea how many. I have a Montana ranch AU somewhere, barely started. One that's really more a concept than anything at the moment, is a sort of a sugar daddy situation AU, then I have a post 4x01 accidental dating fic, Tim gets amnesia fic, Safe Haven AU, a UC fic where Isabel is Lucy's handler when she gets hooked on drugs and Lucy and Tim find themselves with a shared secret. And most recently a 6x03 companion fic, sort of giving Lucy a moment to feel sad about no passing the exam, which I will most likely not finished because I'm not feeling that motivated atm.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, I have many smaller fics half started or brainstormed and waiting. Seriously the sheer volume of the fics I brainstorm and don't write should be illegal. 🙈

-What are you enjoying most this season?

Honestly? The fact that Tim and Lucy are communicating with each other and that they obviously seem to both be in it 100%. I had my fears going into this season, given how season 5 left it. But I truly think they'll be okay. I love all their scenes this season, so far. Even the angst.

-What's something you want to see this season that you haven't yet?

Lucy having a support system in place, getting the help she needs and getting acknowledgement for once.

[coldercreation]

so i just binge read close your eyes and the entire let me try series and i’m just :( in a good way. it was so so so so good and i have never cried my eyes out over a story like this. i relate to nathan to much and just uwu. it’s been a few days and i still find myself just getting emo over this story. i’ll be doing the dishes and go “i miss kit and his boys”. reckon i’m gonna go reread but i just wanted to let you know your characters are on my mind 24/7 right now and i continuously forget i’m not gonna just find an entire fandom based on this story to freak out with. amazing work <3

Oh myyy oh my, thank you so much for this sweetsweet message!<3 It's probably one of the highest compliments to hear that my series has left such an impression on someone😭

I've worked so hard to try and make the boys as 'real' as possible (to the point that I genuinely miss them too and can get kinda mad over their non-existence?? like, how dare-??) so the fact that they have become real enough to miss outside the text is just... I dunno, it just feels really nice to hear that I did well in that ig? :'<

But awh, we have our own lil tiny baby fandom nook over here!! There shall always be a space here to freak out over stuffs, it might not be the typical fandom experience but me-the-author is unashamedly happy to screech about my own work any time heheh xx

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you so much for the tag ((and drag)) @carbonbased000! this was very fun and thoughtful to do.

who is writing things right now? i never remember. i will tag a wide and perhaps not terribly relevant range of: @toorational @just-about-nothing @27-royal-teas @leyley09 @alienfuckeronmain @stereostatic @setting-in-a-honeymoon and anyone else so inclined!

++

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

65

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

968,103, but as i’ve said before, i have orphaned a lotta fic as well

3. What fandoms do you write for?

pretty much just Fall Out Boy, but i will occasionally dabble in something random! this includes tony stark femslash (not sorry, will not apologize), cobra kai, and anything about girls or characters who could compellingly be made into girls.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Difference Between Real Love and the Love on TV

Stranger Danger

Boys Next Door / Assholes

From Russia With Love (this is one of those random sidesteps, a MCU femslash epistolary)

Jet Black Crow

(As an aside, it is so wild to me that older fics have so many more kudos than newer ones—you can really tell that fob went 5 years between albums! imo this is NOT a list of my best fic.)

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

for years, I responded to every single one! then at some point i fell behind because of my high standards for trying to put the same thought and effort into my responses as all you lovely people put into the comments, then i became overwhelmed, then i stopped. I AM SO SORRY IF I OWE YOU RETURN COMMENTS, i read them and i treasured them and you are a huge part of the reason i keep writing. love u all!!!

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

I only write happy endings, man! I stopped writing tragedies a long time ago. My angstiest fics are red and unafraid of living and In Every Universe. the end of Made One Way (Cobra Kai) is ambiguous and potentially brutal, depending on how you take it.

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

um, every single other one! I’m a big fan of the gory fairy tale ending of The Boys Time Can’t Capture, and transmuting the hiatus into an act of mutual care and love in Sell Out Girl meant so much to me.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not since my first fandom and god, don’t

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

yes, a bit, could probably write a little less about feelings and a little more about feelings if u know what i mean. I’m super into sex as a person so i almost never write about intense romantic connections without bringing smut into it somehow; they feel really tightly linked for me, and i think i also crave media with HOT and INTIMATE connections between queer people. In terms of kind, i guess i’d have to say it’s largely rushed vanilla emotion-and-orgasm driven scenes. not a very flattering oeuvre i've created here.

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

mash-ups are my favorite thing to do! I especially like ripping off movie and fairy tale plots and making them stranger, or else taking a really specific constrained timeline from someone’s life or a piece of media and transforming it somehow. best sandbox ever. my craziest one is probably the coyote ugly / beauty in the beast peterick fic, Wolves Dressed As Wolves. and i love this type of transformation in everything, whether it's the weirdo gender shit i just learned duchamp was doing or katherine addison's destructively beautiful 'sherlock holmes except there're ANGELS' novel or the buenos aires re-imagining version of vivaldi's four seasons by piazzolla, my life and taste keeps taking me into the various ways we fold and refract and remake the same experiences over and over again through different lenses or angles or selves. to quote some author whose identity i forgot years ago, though the quote remains: "there are no new stories." all art is iterative, and the most interesting thing we can do as creators is deviate in new, unexpected ways.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yeah, a million years ago on deviantart

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes! I have had a few translations and a podfic. I love it when people want to interact with my stories in their own way, all interpretations are welcome.

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

one day i hope to be domesticated enough that @carbonbased000 can write with me. I used to co-write by passing the laptop back and forth with my bestie in high school; we wrote self-insert x-men fanfiction based on the comic books in like 2004 and it was an absolute blast; but generally i am considered impossible to work with, by both myself and others.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

i feel completely unqualified to answer this question. i have been driven insane by any number of pairings in my life. when i was younger, i was more interested in internalized homophobia themes in ships, because that's where WE were culturally in the early 2000s and where i was in relationship to myself, and i think each change and growth and greater empowerment and self-possession in my own life is mirrored in what i am interested in. i feel the most drawn in by dynamics between people that are creative and give me a new way to access and explore interesting ideas and themes; i’m a real sucker for shared art products and touring bands as unique and agonizing ways to connect people. there are so many different ways to express that someone is your soulmate and you'll never convince me throwing away all trappings of a traditional life in order to rove the earth and make art with your friends isn't one of them.

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

do you not just block out your WIPs from your mind so that you can live in moment-to-moment freedom?? I am a finisher in general, i have a few peterick drafts lurking around in my gdocs but if they remain untouched, it’s generally because there are only a couple thousand words to them and i’m not very excited about the possibilities of the fic. there is a sequel to a meticulously historically accurate pirate fic i wrote long ago called Providence, i got to about 30k and then lost all of my extremely painstaking notes and research in a software update. I’m still very interested in and excited by the idea, but i lost the notes and felt too traumatized to continue with the project genuinely a decade ago, so the idea that i will return and finish the fic seems fairly unlikely. Providence is one of my greatest pieces of writing ever, though, so hope springs eternal, i guess!

16. What are your writing strengths?

lyrical prose and conveying humor via unusual sentence construction. i was recently told i write arguments well and feel tough as a result, like, watch out! you don’t want to fight me!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

i am lazy and easily distractible, i don’t plot in advance, i barely edit because i get really rigid and have trouble seeing any other way to say something than how i’ve already said it, i have an unwillingness to delete and rewrite even when that’s the only way forward (see: my eternally 90% finished age swap peterick au), i use up all my emotional energy elsewhere and then neglect my craft for weeks at a time. 

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

sometimes i’ll use pet names in another language if it makes sense for the character, but i avoid this in general as i’m not fluent in anything other than english. I would, have, and do sound like a duolingo lesson.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

afi bandom, when we used to call it slash, when i thought i had invented it with my friend at summer camp, when i was 13 and sent her kidfic stories i wrote out by hand in pink envelopes.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

genuinely i almost always write things i personally want to read, so i love them all! except the fucking fixed stars of heaven, everyone knows that fic tortured me to within an inch of my sanity. My most personal and personally meaningful fic is Girl Out Boy. i have a tattoo of it on my arm.

[604to647]

(from 20 Tav QOTDs) questions 10 and 12 for both Vanquish and Azz'ava. 👀

from: "https://www.tumblr.com/fiendpact/736064293796249600/20-tav-qotds"

10. do they prefer speak with dead or speak with animals?

Vanquish: She probably prefers speak with animals, purely because speaking to the dead is something she'd very much like to do, but not in this way, in ways that are impossible now.

She has a complicated outlook on this one, I think. Speak with the dead is useful. Practical at times. And there is little that phases Vanquish, or on her moral radar lol, but I think she almost feels its a violation of someone to use speak with the dead. Purely in the way that she's going to make sure her body and soul - if it survives - will never be subject to speak with the dead in anyway.

Azz'ava: Speak with the dead 100%. She has little regard for the dead. I feel like githyanki have a very "you are dead and no longer matter" outlook on those who die. If you dead, you fucked up and failed, basically. Azzie knows it's a practical and useful spell. Whereas she doesn't really spend much time around animals that require speak with animals, and hasn't really clicked much in understanding their usefulness.

12. their companions are gossiping about them behind their back! who is it and what are they saying?

Vanquish:

Gale: concern for her choices and welfare when he notices she hasn't slept or ate for a couple of days, wondering how exactly she keeps her strength and keeps going (it's probably drugs, Gale. combined with her weird patron); curiosity about her patron and 'odd Warlock business'.

Karlach and Shadowheart: probably when they start realising she's a lot older than she should be. How and why.

Everyone: about her relations with Voss and her beef with The Emperor (it's personal more than his deception of being an illithid.

Lae'zel just talks straight to her face about things, lol.

Azz'ava:

Lae'zel would usually just straight up say shit to people's faces, but I feel like she'd be a little intimidated by Azzie since she's a very respected and high ranking Inquisitor. Probably talk about with others and speculate what she does/did; what's her relationship like with Vlaakith etc. Once all the revelations are out about Vlaakith and Orpheus, I feel like she'd talk a lot about how Azzie is coping (awfully).

I'm unsure how she feels about the other companions and they about her yet, but I feel the companions would gossip about her stringent hygeine routine, how she takes forever to get ready to look perfect (she's coping hard), her insistence to talk only tir to Lae'zel, is she a wizard is she a sorcere is she a warlock what IS she.

[wint3r-h3art]

aaaaah that picture of Tenoch prefacing the beautiful filth that you wrote - your writing has me REELING 😮‍💨 i’m not sure how i’m ever gonna get these images out of my head now. and i’m perfectly content with that.

This is what I mean when I said “shit-eating grin” because I can’t see it in any other way 😵‍💫 The moment I saw the new set of pics, I just know it’s going to the fic…like I started the smut, just not the beginning. When I tell you the pic gave me a huge inspiration, I meant it. This man is just 🤌🤌 PERFECTION

Honestly, I’m so happy you liked it. I really thought the length of the fic is gonna discourage people from reading it 🥲 so thank you 💛💛💛

[a-lil-perspective]

happy birthday baby!!!

[crazy4myself]

omg hi i just finished binge reading no harm list and i loveddddd it!! part 13 was definitely my favorite, i just loved the action scenes and how they finally talked about their feelings at the end😅

Omg thank you so much! I’ve been DYING to make Ella a baddie in this fic so I was so excited to finally make her kick some ass. So glad you loved it.
