#this doesn't feel like minecraft anymore. what hell am I creating?...

[prest0allay]

Could we please have some ccwau Ren and Martyn lore crumbs if you have any?

The confrontation (past event)

Martyn: "PATHETIC!! You are the prince of this country. Yet you have no will...no strenght...no determination. You want respect? You want your freedom?!

THEN GET UP AND FIGHT"

I'm all giddy but also going coocoo at the moment. I missed my slasher ragey energy.

hi @wayfaringminstrel! thanks for the ask!

4. a story idea you haven’t written yet

Most of my story ideas have outlines, but there's one that doesn't; High King Finrod. It's the least flashy of all my ideas but I love it. Finrod survives the wolf, and what happens between then and the next part is a little unclear, perhaps he says in Doriath, watches Nargothrond fall from a distance because he can't return. Maybe then he leaves Doriath, and helps to accompany the survivors from Nargothrond south, to the Havens of Sirion, or Balar, or the Falas. That is just one possibility, at least. But he ends up in the South, a Lord over some of the Noldor survivors from various places. Then Gondolin falls, and there is talk of making Gil-galad, who is still in his childhood, high king. Finrod says fuck that. And with Gil-galad's permission (blah blah laws, customs, line of succession, blah blah blah,) he becomes high king (he does not want it, at all, it's the farthest thing from want he wants but dammit he will save a child from this horrible responsibility.)

Part of the reason I love this one is because 1.) torturing the blorbo, 2.) when Finarfin and the hosts arrive in Beleriand. Finarfin arriving to some barely adult he doesn't know with the crown is good, the shock factor is massive, but I feel like him arriving to Finrod on the throne is a whole different kind of nasty shock. Also Finrod hiding the scars from the wolf, and all the trauma, he is not really sunshiny anymore, at all, and I am clawing at the walls. Because Finarfin finds out eventually, of course. And AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

8. if you had to write a sequel to a fic, you’d write one for…

That's hard, maybe Twisted Web of Fate by the sinister sindar sisters. It was the first long fic I ever read, but then it ended in a cliffhanger, or in a way that strongly indicated a sequel, but unfortunately it was never finished. Then I saw it had been last updated in 2006 😭😭😭 It featured Thranduil and child Legolas, as well as some OCs. Later it included Elrond and Glorfindel. Also it took every canon character you loved and put them through 62 stages of hell while making you care for and attached to the OCs, then put them through hell too. It HURT and I really need to re read it!

14. where do you get your inspiration?

I get a lot of ideas from songs or going through "what if" or "what if x happened differently" scenarios.

24. how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

I just give myself time. I work on other things, or just rest and don't force myself to create when I'm not feeling it. It's hard, but it's harder to try to force myself. I may work on smaller things to try to get creativity flowing again, like doodles or minecraft. But mostly I just take a break. It's hard, but it works.
