hiiii bestie !!! i saw you had a tonne of fics on ao3 and wanted to know if you had any recs for new fans og afl??? any works of your or any other peeps to check out?? thxxxx
hi bestie!!! (I don't know this person)
This is a hard question because there's so much out there - probably not much on AO3 (unless you like Alex Fasolo and then you're in luck) and then Wattpad is just an insane mix of literally everything, mostly footballer x fake sister fics (which I, myself, am guilty of, and I'm sorry)
oh, also I only really read Saving Lotte Sullivan on Wattpad which I reckon is really good but I could be bias.
Maybe I'll just make a list of AO3 fics for each club (and yes, for the dogs, it'll be anything written by AFL whores about bailey smith) and a lot of this is just tooting my horn, I am sorry.
Adelaide
Tyler Brown adjusting to adelaide life
Brisbane
Take me home country roads part 1 and part 2 (obviously)
Carlton
Okay so the best year Carlton had was in 2019 so anything from 2019
Collingwood
literally anything with Trent Bianco and Jack Ginnivan (Collingwood power couple) or Darcy Moore x Charlie James Dean
Essendon
idk if there's much Essendon fics out there so this one? i mean who likes essendon anyway? ew.
Fremantle
I can't remember what year but maybe it was 2021 when 2 guys 1 cup read out Cunfe (Cunnington x Fyfe) fanfiction on the podcast so yeah find those episodes. (The fics were all family friendly and G-rated, don't worry, you can listen to them with kids in the car)
Geelong
Has to be this one
GWS
hard to pick my favourite jesse hogan one
Gold coast
what about Matt Rowell getting mentally scarred before a game. I'm so sorry.
Hawks
either Tom Phillips starting a podcast, or Tom discussing the four P's
Melbourne
probably anything with Ed Langdon or pie boy
Norf
see Freo
Port Adelaide
Bailey Smith ripping through the entire Port Adelaide team OR those lousy five chapters I tried to write about Jack Watts
Tigs
the resurrection of Matthew Richardson (hurts a little to remember writing this after what they did to me last week)
Saints
can I say my multi chapter newsreader fic even though Rob plays for Melbourne in it and not his beloved saints. Or when Ben sits down with his accountant Callum Wilkie
Swans
probably best to go to AFL whores for this one
Weagles
who even writes Weagle fics
Dogs
anything from AFL Whores regarding Bailey Smith

I just know all the Slytherins love Snape. Like yeah, he's cruel and snarky towards everyone, but to his SNAKES? That's what they call encouragement. If they didn't have Snape berating them (albeit with better intentions than when he berates others) they wouldn't have gotten House Cup 7 years in a row.
What's that? You're struggling with your potion studys? Just pull up to Professor Snapes quarters. You're a first year and you threw up during the night? Just pull up to Professor Snapes quarters!!!
Like yeah he'll be pissed at having to divert his plans just to help you out, but he'll do it. I mean, he'd say it's just because he wants to win the housecup, so he has to nurse the best out of his students... But the truly perceptive can see that little shimmer of fondness in his eyes when a Slytherin makes a near perfect Draught of Living Death, and they can tell when he's marking work if it's made by a Slytherin, because he has these eyes that look like he's scanning for every single mark he can give them.
And of course, the other heads of house feel the same about their students, Snape just happens to be the most suprising one to see patting a fifth years hair after finishing their O.W.L.s

if cress and verna weren't inkfish, what species would you make them instead? assuming no restrictions like them having to be the same species because they're related
bonus: what alternate species would your splatsona be?
GREAT ask i had a lot of fun thinking about this.
Verna would be a spiny dogfish. i thought some kind of predatory fish, and especially a shark, would be fitting for him, but not anything too big or cool looking. unfortunately he still ended up looking somewhat cool. He would be about the same height and build as his squid self.
Cress would be a nudibranch. i wanted him to be cute and had a hard time thinking of him as something that looked too far from an inkling, and nudibranches are still colorful mollusks (also flow made me think of orange, so that had an impact). I imagine nudibranches are shorter than inklings, he would only come up to the shoulders of his inkling self.
for the bonus question...
a few years ago, after deciding that "maybe i could have A Youtuber Rantsona for my channel" i genuinely considered not using my inklingsona, and instead representing myself with a splatoonified version of my bugsona, a praying mantis, and turning that into mantis shrimp.
i couldn't get a design to stick, felt too busy and crustaceans are hard to draw (left image). but now that there are Canon mantis shrimps to work from in splatoon, i went and took another crack at it just now. i like it a lot more now. it would be really fucking funny if i just switched to a mantis shrimp sona without warning but i am in too deep already LOL
