PLEASE MAKE DRAKE OUTFIT RANKING

Well it's not gonna be as in-depth as the male sexy underwear ranking since I haven't played past TRR 1, but I can do this.

NGL this was actually kind of fun. Might do it for other characters as well as certain MCs.

1st place, AKA Mannnn that shit is VACCUUM SEALED AROUND HIS TITS and for WHAT

2nd place, AKA One of the few actually flattering male/masc swimsuits, granted it looked better in the CG but still (also he should kill me with his thighs)

3rd place, AKA Stylish AFFFFFFF, I dig it

4th place, AKA ICONIC

5th place, AKA Decent, I like it but it doesn't really stand out to me or grab me

6th place, AKA *shrugs* Eh... not bad, but I'm not really feeling it with these ones

7th place, AKA I guess it's okay on a technical level, but PB should be ashamed of themselves for calling this lazy thing a "sexy underwear upgrade" so yeah

Low blow, PB. Low blow.

HLAW Day 6: Throwback

On this appreciation day I thought it would only be fitting that I posted the first ever Hana Lee fic I did, With A Little Help From My Friends. The story is in two parts, and while the first part is popular the second has one of my favourite lines of Hana's!

(@shazrystyles made this gorgeous art piece for the fic at least three years ago 💖💖)

This is Part 1, where Hana and Liam bond over music. And this is Part 2, where they bond over the woman they both love.

1. What about this character inspired you to create this piece?

Halfway through my first serious playthrough of TRR1 (a little after the book had ended), I became very fascinated with Hana as a character and found her extremely relatable. I bought as many scenes as I could. Some of my Liam stan friends at the time confessed they didn't know or understand her that well, so I wrote this fanfic because I really wanted them to see what I saw 💕

Also it struck me that Hana had a goodbye moment with all of the main group in her finale scene...except Liam. So what was the thing they could both do that they could enjoy together?? Music, of course!

2. What was your process like?

My process for fic is usually very linear...I HAVE to know the opening before I can write anything. Which I did for this one too. I knew I was going to start the fic with a heartbroken Hana hammering away on the piano, alone 😭 and from there I was able to let the story take its course.

And because PB never showed us Hana's gift, I needed to write it in myself so I spent some amount of time researching places where you could get dizi flutes in China (by the time I wrote Part 2, the first few chapters of TRR2 had already been out).

3. What part of creating this piece brought you the most joy?

Part 1: DEFINATELY Hana and Liam jamming together! Most of the fic had a lot of sadness and tension, so I loved ending it on this bittersweet note.

Part 2: Both Hana and Liam's final lines (the one she says about confessing to Esther and the one he says about her bravery) before they return to the ballroom.

4. Are there differences between the way you make content for this character, and the way they are depicted in canon/fan content? If so, why?

Like a lot of my friends, I tend to have elaborate backstories for her coz many of us felt that was something she was robbed of in canon. We also like to put her in the center of some of our stories coz she is amazing as a character and deserves more love than she actually gets, and because unfortunately she sometimes tends to get erased in fan content too. So it's important for us to center her needs and perspective in fics about her.

5. Did you have a playlist to get you into the mood for creating? If so, what kind of songs?

A Lot of Queen 😄😄 I was (still am!) a huge Queen fan, hence the song I finally selected for Liam & Hana's jamming session.

--

Doing a Day 6 fic for Hana now, but if I'm not able to put that up I hope at least this is out there!

do abram and prince andrew have any new years traditions? 🌟

So at this point I'm half using the royal au to come up with worldbuilding for the world/kingdoms I'm creating as a general setting for various stories lol but I haven't figured out much of it yet so for now. Prince Andrew and Lord Abram are wishing you all a happy new year in our traditional western/etc style :)

(although I'll put some random thoughts below too 👀)

So far all I have is that the new year in this world falls on/is marked by DarkNight (maybe a working title maybe not) which is the night that both the world's moons are new, meaning it's as dark as its ever going to get. Which could be so fun for candle ceremonies, lights, lantern festivals, SO MANY COOL THINGS and I don't know if you know this but. I love space and stars so this is perfect for that too hehe

But ahhhhh a festival of lights and stars. Abram would love to gently torment Andrew with gifts and nice words on the day dedicated not to Palmetto's Prince Andrew but to Abram's star. Unofficially of course but that was never going to stop him 💕

fandom gifting <3

in anticipation of december (a month which seems to be very cold for most people on tumblr and very hot for me), i wanted to put together something to inspire me to give back more to the fandom community. it's not christmas-specific (although i ended it on christmas for personal reasons because i'm usually in a food coma / having a break between then and nye) and it's not fandom specific, so anyone can join if they like!

no pressure, of course. i will happily do this by myself :)

i'm gonna tick them off day by day and comment on and reblog/mention the fics/fanart/gifs/podfic/metas accordingly, but you do you :)
