[damienthepious]

I would love to hear a fic commentary about the most recent sage damien chapter, especially those first few bits of the conversation between Rilla and Damien if you’re up for it! It’s such a mysterious fic, I am so completely normal about it all the time :)

[ask me for commentaries about bits and pieces of my ficssss]

i've decided not to be normal about it i've decided to be SO INSANE ABOUT IT instead :3

[When the song finishes, she pauses, and then Damien feels her hands move again. "Oh," she says, surprised. "Oh no. It's alright, hey-"]

I don't know EXACTLY what Rilla was expecting, but a very pretty young man humming the lullaby her parents used to sing her, and then crying when she sang it back, was DEFINITELY not on the list

[The hand over his chest raises, palm curving to cup his cheek, her thumb skating over his skin and brushing the tears away as she tsks gently at the back of her throat. Damien can see her, now, slowly resolving, and the familiarity is so strong that he can almost place it. He swallows, and then he tries to arrange his tongue properly in his mouth.]

Their whole first physical meeting was a bit of a tightrope walk, for me. Damien's confusion coming back to himself paired with Rilla... literally never having seen Damien's body despite having some conversations with him- that was always going to be a bit odd. The fact that Damien was also relearning how his body works, like, LITERALLY coming back to understanding how eyes and ears, sight and sound, work while in a physical body that ISN'T being held in magical stasis- well, the fact that it takes the poor kid a minute or two to recognize Rilla really isn't that surprising, i don't think.

also also Rilla physically comforting him is so.... heck. Alas Damien is a little hypersensitive at the moment, considering all the (waves hand).

["Gentle spirit," Damien breathes, surprised by the shimmering lightness of his words carried on air again, the fluting of his own voice.]

kid has only heard words that sounded at least a LITTLE bit like they were coming through water for years now, and that goes double for his own voice

["Oh, spirit, has my Saint sent you to lift me from my slumber at the riverbed?"]

and literally EVERY part of his existence has been Saint-touched since he got tossed in his River. He really doesn't know how to contextualize his life outside of that, at least not yet. Also like... why the heck else would someone grab him?? there's no one left to care about him as a person. his mom and aaron are dead, and his father left him to drown.

[The woman blinks. Her lips part, and her mouth hangs open in a little o of surprise as she stares at him for a long moment.

"That…" she pauses, exhales, and shakes her head. "Can't- I know that voice, I- you can't be."]

Rilla is quick! Rilla is sharp! But also, Rilla likes things to MAKE SENSE. the fact that this stranger has a voice that sounds REMARKABLY similar to the weird possibly-ghost force that she hasn't been able to contact in months..... SEEMS like an insane coincidence, or otherwise wishful thinking. That's much more likely, isn't it? She resists the connection first. Also, honestly, part of why she dove in was because she was thinking about Damien, about how he wouldn't let someone drown, and about how he's been nowhere to be found for months.... and...... she didn't want to let someone drown in Damien's river. Not if she could help it.

[The familiarity settles, resolves. So strange, for her to touch him. To remain still as she does. He finds his tongue again. It is becoming easier, as all things do with repetition.]

and Rilla recognizing him helps Damien figure out how he recognizes HER! feedback loops 💖 he's also weirded out by physical contact that doesn't immediately rubber-band him back to his body. Because he's IN his body.

["What is it that you think I cannot be?" he asks, his inflection bouncing in a way that he cannot entirely control.]

there's a level here of playfulness, and a level of earnestness. Damien not knowing what he IS has turned into a running theme, so seeking an answer about what he shouldn't be is... a little bit related. also i'm obsessed with the musicality of Damien's voice tho i have not listened to the actual podcast in a long while now and i like highlighting that. matthew zahnzinger <3

["Once you called me ghost, I think. Surely, Rilla, this is less strange than that, is it not?"]

A little hint, a little glimmer of playful!Damien!!! He's still in there, he's still himself.... and also, typical, he's MUCH more willing to accept magic and weirdness than Rilla. Even more so than his canon counterpart, for obvious reasons lmaoooo

[She chokes on a breath, a laugh that almost sounds panicked, and her hand squeezes his. "Damien? I- saints, I haven't seen you in months, I thought you'd disappeared completely-"]

Playing with time while Damien was in his River was fun, for me. The first time Rilla "saw" ghost!Damien was probably more than a full year ago at this point. His position was... similar to dreaming? he existed in varying degrees of consciousness, whilst soggy. He expended a TON of energy the last time he saw her, pushing himself into a more "present" state, and he's been unknowingly recovering from that for the intervening months. Poor Rilla was worried. Thought she'd never see him again.

But. Well. it's not like he could drown, is it? :3c

Does Gambit try to be a lap dog?

Haha oohhh yeah! Especially when he was still a Growlithe. Sure he had a whole bed he could be laying on, but making himself inconvenient was so much more comfortable. Gus learned to just work around him.

However once he evolved, he understood that he could easily hurt Gus, even if he was just being playful, so no more mindless flopping. Instead he found he didnt mind being the pillow instead.

🍄🦷🐚 pls....

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

The Outsider looooooooooooves whenever people whisper about Corvo dating a man 'so much younger than him'. Corvo HATES it. The Outsider will tease him about it at the actual worst times and Corvo is so longsuffering about it but always puts up with it bc he loves watching the Outsider smirk and laugh~

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

Summer's on it's way and I cannot stress enough how effective it is to put an ice pack between your thighs!! The biggest blood highways of your body are there, and if you can cool down that blood even slightly, it will circulate through you better than putting something cold on your neck or wherever.

🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?

I think it depends on the type! Surprise gift for me?? 🥺 thank you ily!! Surprise, something has happened that's gonna throw off my entire morning routine? Ahhhhhhhhhhh not good not good ><

🎶 ⌛️ and 👀 for the writer ask? :00

LEE!!! <3 <3 <3 !!! THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!! >:DDDDD

"🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?"

I do listen to music while I write!! Usually a playlist or one song on repeat. Lyrics don't bother me at all while writing unless it's a song I haven't heard before so looping works well for me.

The song I've listened to on loop so much lately is Red Wine Super Nova!!

A few of my friends KILLED it at karaoke the other day and I was like, "You know? I do need to listen to this song on repeat."

"⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?"

Good question, hard to answer. It takes me an hour or two usually to write about 1000 words and my chapters range from like 5k to 15k asfjasdif But that's when I'm sitting down and writing. Motivation to write usually is when I'm excited about what's happening in the story. My top speeds are also not my typical speeds, so like. I've written 24k in two weeks and like 12k in a day and 5k in a day is no issue every once in a while, but I'd say like. About a chapter a month is a good estimate of my average speed I'd say! I don't have a good record of this because I pre-write my stories (or at least a significant portion of them) before posting most of the time.

For some math, I have written a bit over 400,000 words in 5 years, so that averages to 6k a month and I take many breaks so it's probably more like 12k a month for 6 months out of the year.

"👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!"

@spadeyhearty and I are cowriting a Scarian Pirate AU based on art by @jamalambbamm for the @mcytblraufest!! I can't share tooooo many details, but I will say it's a slowburn enemies to lovers, chock-full of action and drama. I'm so excited to be writing it with my best friend!!

WIP Motivation Game

Tagged by @sillywoman01 thank you <3

Make a 24hr poll listing the titles of every WIP you want to work on. (It's fine if you only have one, still make a poll for the vote count and add a "show results" for the other vote option).

Tag anyone you think may also want to play (no pressure of course).

Whichever WIP gets the most votes, write 1 sentence for every vote received.

If somehow that completes the fic or reaches the end of a chapter, move to the WIP with the second-highest votes and continue where you left off on your sentence/word count. Repeat until you reach your goal.

(Optional) Share what you wrote in a new Tumblr post with a link to the poll or in a reblog!

Sound Check? 👀👀👀

Aughhhhh well, I've already been working on Sound Check for like, uhhhhh three years now and I'm not even halfway done with the number of chapters I have planned for it... It's basically an alternate post-canon to twewy where Joshua chooses his new Conductor and then a bunch of stuff happens, as a result, it's great👍and it's in the same continuity as my other two twewy fics.

I've barely typed anything for chapter 6 so far but I will put it below the cut anyway (it's not even 100 words 😭)

“Is there a reason you’re here?”

Joshua looks up from the magazine he’d picked up from Neku’s floor. It’s outdated by several months, but, hey, the pictures were still nice.

“Just decompressing,” Joshua lies.

It’s then that Neku tosses him a look over his shoulder. He hadn’t seemed too surprised by Joshua’s sudden appearance in his room, but Joshua knew better than to believe his indifference.

Neku made no secret of what he expected from Joshua with their newfound friendship, and like always, Joshua was falling short on his end of things.

2 & 13!

2. album of the year?

1989 tv, baby!!!! that's always been my favorite ts album, so i was sooooo excited for the rerecord. i've also been listening to the tbosas soundtrack a lot, though 😂

13. how was your birthday this year?

it was.... okay. my grandma made me my favorite pie, and my mom was in town awhile before and left my birthday cupcakes that i have every year, so i was really glad i got those. my roommates surprised me, too, which was so fun especially bc i didn't think they knew it was my bday. but also i missed my bf and friends at home sooo much and it was hard to not be around them. so it was pretty okay.

HI GAB HIIIIIIIII o/

(from this ask meme) "why is writing important to you?"

well I mean. I love telling stories. It's just kind of what I do. Writing helps me become a better storyteller. It validates me. It does the same thing for me as singing and playing the piano used to do when I was still in school. I don't think I'd be me if I weren't writing and telling stories.

Tangent, I once burned out on creating entirely, due to a toxic fandom and incredibly persistent depression IRL. I stopped writing or doing anything creative for close to six months while my life fell apart around me. It was the least alive I've ever felt.

2, 7, 18 for the chose violence game

choose violence !

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom dom or sub: obligatory note that i'm very very fluid about top/bottom dynamics because there are a lot of ways to top and a lot of ways to bottom, so i wanted to amend this and answer a question that i do actually have opinions on. i personally don't see bcs jimbo being like a Dom-dom, I've never actually seen this in action but I've heard it's out there and it doesn't feel consistent with his character??? idk, that guy needs to be the one being told what to do.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them? honestly ddadds robert is so much more compelling when he's not the uwu Scorned Love Interest, like i think he's super grating and would Never hang out with him irl but i didn't start hating him until i tried to get into the fandom and uhhhhhhh 😬 i'm just saying; he's a bitch, let him be a bitch.

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on... i have soooooo many fucking magic show takes on this bc all anyone ever wanted to talk about was q***iot (which i do get, but there's way more happening than just them !!!!) i'll settle with: the monster is one of the most interesting villains i've ever seen and josh h*berman is fucking cool, you guys are just fatphobic (and antisemitic, but y'all aren't ready for that conversation)

3, 6, 23 :o)

23. favorite piece of clothing?
