wb terezi

mainly curious about the favorite line one (so many fucking bangers) and favorite song

second to mine to miss of course.

SHIT IFORGOR ABOUT THE ASK GAME CAN YOU TELL THAT I AM SO TERRIBLY TIRED

ok. last thing before i go to sleep is actually answering these

favorite thing about them

she is so sillychaoticviolent but so deeply sad im obssessed thats all u need in a character

least favorite thing about them

less abt her and more abt her portrayal but i think hussie and subsequently everyone forgor what kind of cane she had . im not complainin too hard cause disabled characters are rare enough n i want a cane for my chronic pain but i so rarely see people draw her with the right kind. whatever idk if u could fit a sword in one of those anyways

favorite line

the entirety of the leadup to terezi: remember tbh. this line especially but i have a whole post of AUGH terezi lines

brOTP

no reason they cant be some kinda romance but my friend enlightened me to jane + terezi friendship . they do the most chaotic pranks and the most overserious sleuthing out there . but they can also be yuri

OTP

vrisrezi. come on. they are the doomed yuri of all time

nOTP

idk i mean her n gamzee is fun plotwise but hough. not good. they r punching the shit out each other in the ventilation shafts or they are not a thing. let vriska punch him for her

random headcanon

coming up with this on the spot while sleep deprived dont mind me. ermmm sometimes she tries so very hard to have visions of timelines where she and vriska are actually happy together beyond a few moments of embrace . just to know some version of her has that empty feeling actually filled for once. either it never really works or she never can see them happy (DOOMED YURI!!!)

unpopular opinion

make her cringier. "her hs2 outfits are pretty wacky but fun i suppose" i want to see her looking like she is wearing every single piece of clothing and accessory in a dnd obsessed 2000s scene kids bedroom.

song i associate with them

if i gotta pick one ill go with francis forever by mitski. its literally so her . vrisrezi ofc but we all love our doomed yuri

favorite picture of them

doomed yuri? loser in underwear? the duality of sillygirl

SOLE’s Middle School Self

A bunch of links to a live-Tweeting experience where I found my middle school writing and read through it

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: 13,537 words, old name was Wildlife (x)

NO NO NO I TAKE IT ALL BACK: two part thread of 2010 vs 2050, TEL vs SOLE (x)

Dr. Agau... an environmentalist? (x) consistently so? (x)

The first draft is just us telling ourselves the story, and this was a pretty banger way to tell myself a story in middle school. (contains excerpt: x)

Chapter One: short and cliché, but with a pretty good phrase tossed in there (x)

Level A1 vs Experiment 1A; in which I lack consistency (x)

NEWBIES? CRAZIES? CHURLISH? a three part thread (x)

I switched POVs every other paragraph and did not give a fuck (x)

EXCERPT: Agau is overconfident and dumb (x)

This is how motifs work, right? (x)

Dr. Agau was SO different back then, it’s wild. Shrieking? (x)

We now pause your regularly scheduled criticism for some contemplative reflection on being kinder to your past self (x)

What even is Chapter 4 tho (x) <--- turned into a thread about Hans’s foster parents that? apparently existed? RIP the Confaus

A three part thread on Beth’s forgotten powers: talking to sea animals, sharing her underwater breathing, and zero power balancing on my part (x)

Hashtag when your characters aren’t developed; Hans had blue eyes? (x)

Connor Millard has got JOKES (and I think this line even made it into the current draft!): (x)

How on earth did this draft function without Finnigan existing (x) <-- a retweet of a lovely thread on Finnigan, you should read it!

How does grammar work? (x)

Why did I rob Hallie of her intro in this draft? The world may never know... #mysteriesofamiddleschoolmind (x)

Three part thread on how I’ve changed and how I... haven’t, really. (x)

Once again, my middle school writing had some good keepers (read me: x)

Those memes about randomly shooting characters are TRUE (x)

I think this is the only thing that legitimately made me cringe in the whole draft (x)

Reminiscing about plot holes and what caused them (x)

Remembering how I introduced Christian to the story in a very amazed caps lock (x)

...and sharing that bit of writing because I remember being so proud of it (contains excerpt: x)

Establishing character right away? I don’t know her (x)

Oh, right. Describing character appearances is a thing I need to do. (x)

Three-part thread on things that have stayed consistent over 8 years (x)

Suddenly! A Matt! (x) the amount of face-palm gifs I used... I was running out

One of the best puns I have ever seen made about my work (x)

Matt was really bloodthirsty in the last draft (x)

Surprising literally nobody, my pacing is still way off: (x)

How did they function without Finnigan? THIS random plot device I shoved in despite it making no sense (x)

oh my god this draft had KATI (three part thread: x)

I found FIVE typos (x)

Yet more injuries to characters, but taken more seriously than the actual bullet wound for some reason? (x)

Kati didn’t use knives, she had Wolverine style claws? #whateven (x)

Thing seem so abrupt in this draft, there’s NO leadup. Writing Tip: if you want to boost your self esteem, read some old stuff! (x)

ENDING: four part thread on my thoughts (read here)
