Noticing my last three fics (including the Beyblade one) have had the double spacing removed for some reason, even when I go back and TRIPLE space it, and I don't know why. It bothers me.

GUESS WHO YOUR SECRET SANTA WAS @hachuna

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61951006

You probably guessed already with how I didn't actually answer the "who'd you get was it me" question and the fact that it was uploaded so late in the day. But you know exactly what was going on so I felt like you wouldn't mind if it was a little late.

One of the prompts they gave me was "Something about Daichi adjusting to life with Tyson and Grandpa? Because he grew up secluded from civilization, I bet there would be a lot of confusion/frustration. Like does he know how indoor plumbing works? Is instant ramen like magic to him?" I put my thoughts on the subject in the note.

It only occurred to me the day of that I never checked to see if I had to post it to Tumblr or if I could just post it to Ao3 and link it like usual... So since I'm pressed for time and don't want to bother with formatting I'm doing the latter (if that's not okay I can edit this later with the actual fic, let's just say the new year has not been very happy for my family so I didn't have much time to figure a lot of this out).

(Unfortunately something happened to the formatting of this fic between writing it and posting it so until I've figured out how to fic that, it'll look like crap.)

Anyway, Happy New Year for anyone actually having a good time, and enjoy the fic.

Temperature - Ina11 Royal AU part 3

Technically a side story to Shiro's side of the narrative and Christmas gift to bestie @hachuna

I spent 9 hours drinking one glass of milk staring at Google Docs attempting to finish this because things happened with my other idea and I'll be uploading it at a later date, and this installment was technically written for them anyway.

This is basically my attempt at actively using this account for posting, because I refuse to return to ~other social media~ but Ao3 has yet to answer to my silent demands for a community posts tab on profiles.

Anyway this is the fic good NIGHT.

(Changed the title at the last second because I felt like I used "Warmth" before but couldn't remembered where but better safe than sorry.)

Frostbite - Ina11 Royal AU part 2

Remember when I said I'd make this a series.

Here's part 2 on April Fool's. Right before midnight. Totally not edited last second.

[underdoghero]

Going back and editing tags and minor typos over and over after posting, just a normal upload as usual

Merry Christmas to @monochrome-dreamer ! I was your secret santa for this year's Inazuma Eleven Secret Sakka @ina11secretsakka2022! This would have been done a few days ago if I hadn't read through my draft and decided to change ❤️Everything❤️ and start from scratch exactly on Christmas day (and then proceeded to get sick the day I thought I would be uploading it so it got delayed ANOTHER day.)

Fun fact: the plot for this story is based off an actual short story I was writing a looooong time ago but scrapped after a while because I felt like it wasn't interesting enough to publish. I'm glad I got to revive it through a fanfic, because the concept was really good and I was disappointed it didn't turn out how I hoped.

But anyway - when I saw the prompts I got really excited, because "royal" and "soulmates" sounded like they went together perfectly. Unfortunately the "soulmates" part ended up becoming more of a background detail once I decided to introduce ✨MAGIC✨ into the plot. It also became more of a general fantasy setting, and basically nothing I had planned from the start made it into the final product. This is what I mean when I said I had to change everything, because once that happened nothing else made sense anymore and I decided I had to go back and rewrite it.

(I'm also sorry if it ended up a little angsty - it is unfortunately just something that happens in all my works, because how can I build up the funny stuff if the characters don't suffer a little?)

BUT I finished it. And I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, so I hope you are too.

There's also a bit of an important note at the end of the fic itself, if you feel like reading that...

This way to Ao3!

[underdoghero]

Happy Holidays and the New Year @underdoghero !

I was your secret santa, I hope you'll enjoy Nosaka and Kirina in their fancy outfits!

I must say it's been some time since I last drew Inazuma boys and I forgot how hard their hair is to draw sometimes :DD

Thank you @ina11secretsakka2022 for hosting this fun event this year!!!

[underdoghero]

The casual suffering of being basically done with a project and realizing you ✨Hate It✨ so you attempt to rewrite it during the submission period and just Know you're going to have to pull an all-nighter to get it out within the timeframe.

⚡️ZINE RELEASE⚡️

At long last, we are delighted to announce that Let's Play Soccer is now available for free download on our website !

The password is 'BIRTHDAY' 🎂

Let's celebrate Inazuma Eleven's 15th Anniversary together, we sincerely hope you enjoy each and every page our magnificent team has made ⚽️💛

[underdoghero]

now to go back into writing hibernation until I feel like uploading something again *glances at wip folder* yup totally out of ideas nothing I could possibly work with

[underdoghero]

I was able to take part in the

Let's Play Soccer ⚽⚡ Inazuma Eleven Zine

(wow that's big hello)

hosted by @inazuma11zine ! It was quite a bit of work compared to the collab projects I've done before, but the outcome was worth it since I don't think I would have written something like this otherwise.

The fic I wrote is called "Looking Back" and my letters weren't titled in the zine itself, but I opted to title them "From Us" when posting them myself. The notes say everything you need to know about the process and how I feel about them, but all in all I'm happy with how they turned out in the end!

Thank you again for letting me take part in this project, and I hope I can work with you all again in the future!

A very belated Merry Christmas to @ygreczed on Tumblr! I was your Secret Santa for this year’s secret santa hosted by @ina11secretsakka2022​ and I'm very sorry this is a few days late. (Long story short December has NOT been a kind month and after various happenings in my family that I don't feel like discussing, I'm sorry to say writing became my lowest priority and I had little to no motivation.)

I can really only write the Ares/Orion cast so I’m very thankful you picked two I actually knew well OTL. I hope you like it!

“Samishigari ya” EN TL

While I’m at it I might as well post this one too.

I had a little trouble with how to properly word “このドキドキな関係嬉しくて” since while I understood the meaning of “関係”, putting it into a grammatically correct sentence that still kept the meaning was annoying. So I just left it as “relationship”, though I’m sure there are better ways to put it.

(Also added punctuation where it felt like there should be punctuation, from the tone of the line.)

Samishigari ya

“A Proud Idol”-Boys Side- EN TL

Since it wasn’t translated on the wiki I decided to TL  “A Proud Idol” -Boys Side- by HoneyWorks, sung by Uratanuki. Honestly I didn’t plan on sharing it but since I brought it up to some friends I thought

Why the heck not

(These are very casual translations that I did in like ten minutes so if there are any mistakes or better wordings I’d love to know.)

The line I struggled the most with was probably “ ファンと夢を見て悪いか “, since I and two friends I went to for help all agreed there was no other way to phrase it without losing the meaning, so I had to settle with the clunky wording you’ll see below. The same with “ みんなと一番取りたいんだ “, but I feel a little better about that line. There were also like five different ways to translate “上には上がいる” but I went with the one I thought fit the song best.

I did of course use the original song as a reference for some sections since they have the same lyrics in some parts, but I changed the wording to what I personally felt sounded better.

Ina11 Secret Santa 2020 exchange fic

A belated Merry Christmas to @julkurtz-ie​! I was your Secret Santa this year for @inazumasecretsoccer, and coincidentally, it seems like you were mine? Sorry this is literally being posted right after Christmas, I feel bad since you did such a great job with my totally not Christmas-y prompts. Hopefully the fic is enjoyable, even if it might not have been what you were expecting >.<

Since I have no idea how to post fanficiton on Tumblr, I’ll just be linking it to the story on Ao3.

Follow me~

[underdoghero]

I want to say I’ve grown a lot since 2014 but I feel like that’s a lie. If anything I’ve just become more organized about it.
