What’s something that will immediately stop reading a fanfic

oh mannnn. i don’t actually read a lot of fan fiction anyway bc i’m super picky, but the main stuff is bad grammar. my mum edits books for a living so she’s drilled grammar into me and if people are consistently using the wrong ‘your’/‘you’re’ or smth, i can’t read it.

also if the plot is just a carbon copy of smth else. like how in twd fandom, 60% of the newer fics are just bad duplicates of ‘future ghosts’. it’s boring. you can’t outdo the doer. put your rubbish rosie dixon dupe down and be creative.

thinking graciebear thoughts rn so:

(a/n: bear belongs to my lovely friend @cagedthewicked, but in an alternate universe, she and gracie are best friends)

gracie and bear who might as well be surgically attached. they will do anything and everything together, no matter what.

gracie’s sick again and can’t go to school? bear isn’t going either. they get put in separate groups for their girl scout activities? they will be breaking free and forming their own group. they literally have to be peeled apart in order to do anything separately. the type of girls to hide each other at the end of a play date so the other doesn’t have to go home.

gracie who has days where she doesn’t want to talk at all but will still whisper in bear’s ear because it’s ‘different’ when it’s her best friend. bear balancing her cowboy hat on gracie’s head to help her be brave. them having matching braids and matching pyjamas and matching friendship necklaces that they wear everywhere.

graciebear who are the type of friends to do something stupid like superglue themselves together.

god forbid you mess up their blanket den.

Hi! I miss Devil Town very very much, and if it's not a bother, I'd love any leftover Cat or Catthew thoughts you have lying around :( I feel like a caveman scratching on the walls, 200 days since Devil Town </3 Thank you! Love your stuff :P

hi!! i low-key miss devil town too and i’m sorry for it’s lack of existence these days 😞 i hope to one day revive it. maybe in the summer. who knows :0

as for cat/mattcat thoughts (i’m unreasonably attached to the name mattcat) the well is naturally a little dry. i’ve been postponing this ask for ages (i’m so sorry about that, by the way) in hopes that some ideas to feed you would come to me, but nothing yet :(

if i think of something soon, i’ll let you know 🫶🏻

[ingydarwp]

genuinely HOW do you come up with such good edit ideas like…everyday?? every edit you post is like actually soul crushing, but in the best way possible, but they are also so intriguing in a sense i just wanna gobble it up and live with it forever. i don’t get how you do it everyday and like hardly re-use audios.

vada i’m actually going to mix you up into ice cream soup rn WJDHRIRHRIF ILYSM ☹️☹️

this is the sweetest thing ever and i WILL be asking for this to be carved into my gravestone. might even get it tattooed guys idk 🤞

on a serious note, though, i just listen to a LOT of music. lots of weird songs that i don’t even know where i found. i also am physically incapable of not overthinking, so i can find OC details in every part of any song. might be a gift, might be a curse 😞

anyways!! this is pt2 of me grinning at my phone like the sarah paulson meme bc you are actually a shiny glittering ray of sunlight and ily. thank you so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻

hey adri. that sorrow edit you made recently. "he went against god's word, risked both his life and his grace for a little girl with oil spill wings and in the end all it did was kill her". hey adri :D what does that mean adri :D what's going to happen to sorrow :D do i need to get sorrow behind me? should i prepare to grieve sorrow :D

hi!!!

🌝

ummmm. so.

:D

a very important part of sorrow’s story is her fate. not just in the sense that all characters have a fate. sorrow has a Fate. A Fate™️ if you will. she has a written in the stars, cannot be earned or returned sort of destiny. from the second she was born, it was laid out for her in perfect, intricate detail.

so yes, the answer is sorrow does need to get behind you, and you should prepare to grieve her, but arguably her inevitable death is just as important as her life. it’s a part of her, it always has been, and it’s what makes sorrow sorrow. she was born to die.

don’t worry, though!! she has a long time yet before her reaper catches up with her :)

[ingydarwp]

out of all your ocs (even the dead ones 😔) who’s been your favourite to edit?

HELP NOT THE DEAD ONES 😭 this is a tough one tho. i think it’s between matty, sorrow and jackie. i really dislike editing younger gracie tho. idk what it is. it’s just a hassle bc her scenes are hard to match and the quality is always slightly off ☹️

i HATED editing cat as well. she was a nightmare for some reason.

[ingydarwp]

I’ve followed you on tiktok for a while (since your second or third pixie tua post) and I just wanted to say you’re doing amazing!!!

this is so lovely oh my gosh?? thank you very very much!! sending you glitter and joy and llamas in pyjamas 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[ingydarwp]

i low-key only realised recently that there are two pronunciations of “romy” and so, i may blow some minds here, but in tiger’s case, you say it like “row-mee”, not “ro-mee.”

i don’t know quite how to spell the difference, but hopefully you get what i mean. you say the ‘o’ in romy like you’d say ‘oh’ if you were sad or whatever.

:0

can you provide a timeframe about when we're gonna learn about the fate of jackie mallory? like can you say which season? also im so excited for yellowjackets s3 but my friend said "wait what if adri uses the new scenepacks of shauna for jackie" and i FROZE

i’m loving the interest in jackie mallory atm, i love talking about her so insanely much. she’s my angel baby deer and i adore her!!

i think if i say the exact season, it would give it away a little too much, so i’m gonna give you a vague timeframe of s4–6.

i’m sorry it isnt more specific, but i made a solemn promise to my friend beanie, who helped my plan EoE, that i wouldn’t reveal jackie’s fate on a random whim, so while i will talk about her as much as i am physically capable of doing, it has to be misty and non-detailed.

i’m super excited for yj s3 as well!! i feel scarily perceived that people discuss me (not in a bad way!! it’s just like a nice jumpscare), and i am anxiously waiting for my new jackie scene opportunities >:)))

Since starting Graceland Too I’ve wondered how Gracie and Isabell would interact considering Gracie is very shy and quiet while Isabell is a bit murdery and hates Steve. Do you think Isabell would’ve pointed out to Gracie how Nat hates her or would Gracie just see how she treats them differently? How do you think an interaction between them would go?

this is a super interesting question and i’ve thought about it a little, but not nearly enough!!

i think they’d get along in a funny sort of way as kids. gracie would be TERRIFIED of isabell originally, and iz would definitely be very wary, considering she doesn’t really like new people, she doesn’t like steve, and she doesn’t like people near her bucky. however, i think she’d find gracie weirdly endearing. not enough to want to spend a ton of time with her, but she’d like to sit with her in silence and do her own thing side by side.

older iz and gracie would get on great. they’re both sad and solitary and sharper than they were as kids, and they’re also both achingly lonely. again, i think they’d spend most of their time together in silence, but a lot closer together. isabell’s legs draped over gracie’s lap while they read their own separate books, and both of them sleeping in the same bed.

so yeah!! i don’t think it’s the expected answer, because they are indeed very different people, but they contrast nicely. my two favourite babies :)))

(apart from sorrow. i luv sorrow.)

frank castle infects my brain like a virus, i think about him SO MUCH, especially when i was finally watching daredevil last winter. here’s my question; i remember the couple of posts on tt about the frank ff with the taylor russel fc, do you think you’ll ever write more of that? i LOVED the concept. ALSO; shoutout the cat, who i miss dearly, every single day. i am hoping after daredevil: born again comes out we might see her again!

hi!! i love to see fellow frank castle lovers out there, that man is everything to me!! AND A RAFFY MENTION!! i feel very seen!!

raffy’s story lurks full-time in my mind — i tried to make an edit of her the other day but i was having trouble finding scps so i low-key gave up… — but she’s still active in my head!! honestly, i’ve got a lot on my plate atm, with too many active fics and GCSEs kicking my ass, so idk if raffy’s gonna be an actively written fic soon, but she’s most certainly not forgotten.

raffy cadence, my good little catholic girl who works the night shift and never cries :(( ily so much.

as for cat, i have plans to bring her back at some point!! it won’t be any point soon, but she’ll reappear someday :)

hiiii !!!

in honor of the large amounts of snow in my area right now that are apparently not going away, i was wondering if any of your ocs have strong opinions on snow or favorite activities in snowy weather? my only thought is that maybe tiger would get way too into a snowball fight, and i love that for her. also gracie would be very adorable bundled up like a marshmallow to leave the house :)

(also here’s a picture of the snowman named summer that me and my little brother made)

first off, ’m loving this snowman, especially his very contrasting name and his cool glasses!!

secondly, this is a super interesting question. tiger would indeed be very into snowball fights, but would then be made to go inside after throwing blocks of straight ice at people she didn’t like. boots would fall over a lot.

gracie, as you’ve very accurately guessed, loves watching snow but would probably just lurk inside in forty-trillion jumpers and stare at it rather than going out to play in it. she’s very prone to sickness bc she has an autoimmune deficiency, so i’d imagine she wouldn’t be allowed outside in the cold like that anyway :(

isabell’s grew up in russia, so she’s pretty used to the snow, and it has a lot of bad memories tied to it, so it’s not particularly thrilling to her ☹️ she would possibly throw a couple of snowballs tho. probably at sam.

i think sorrow would like the snow the most. she lived in a relatively warm place before sam and dean found her, so she’d never seen snow before, and the concept of it is insanely exciting. she wants to make as many snowmen/snow angels as possible, spends a lot of time hopping around in excitement, and refuses to come inside even when she’s turning slightly blue. eventually sam would drag her inside, though, and she’d spend the rest of the day staring out of the window, and then making everyone else stare out of the window too.

+ she doesn’t really get snowmen — in the sense that they aren’t supposed to be anybody specific — so she makes a snowdean and a snowsam and a snowcas and a snow bobby and they’re all super accurate.

matty disapproves of snow. he doesn’t know why. he just does.

[ingydarwp]

this isn’t a question but i just want to express my love for eoe. like i go through the folder of edits at least once every day just because im actually infatuated with it. i love tiger. i love jackie. ong jackie😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

i’m so pleased to hear this!! 😋 i’m hoping to churn out a new chapter very soon bc i hate the s2 era and i can’t wait for:

1. shane to be dead. tiger’s counting down the days.

2. to drag myself through s3 and make it to s4, where all the fun stuff starts happening!!

3. to reveal the fate of jackie mallory (eventually…)

[ingydarwp]

This isn’t really a question but I just watched monsieur lazhar and I couldn’t stop thinking about baby Jackie and how I desperately need the Mallory family lore

baby jackie!! she’s so cute in that movie!! :((

mallory family lore is dark and twisty and mysterious, and while i cannot give you any of its future just yet, i can tell you a little bit about them before the apocalypse!!

jay mallory was a georgia-born dude who worked on a construction site and had a thick southern accent. jackie used to tease him about it, which is why tiger makes fun of daryl’s accent on instinct. he was, however, decidedly not a redneck, did not like rednecks, and was insanely protective of his daughters. tiger was his favourite, though he’d rather have died than admitted it.

i think i’ve briefly mentioned this before in EoE(??) but jackie and tiger have different moms — hence why tiger has much sharper features and looks more like jay. jackie’s mom was a drug addict and tiger’s mom was not involved at all in her life and worked in boston, where tiger’s originally from.

jackie was a straight a student. she did track, helped out in the school library and worked on saturdays in the coffee shop down the street. tiger was a problem child in school, got into a fight at least once a week and was severely dyslexic, but nobody noticed bc they were too busy trying to harness her rage.

boots just ate everyone’s boots. tiger used to feed him her dinner under the table whenever it was something gross like stew.

im soo bored im just gonna ask random questions or whatever ok so!! where did u get ur ideas for all ur main ocs ?! i remember u said gracie is an ode to ur childhood best friend (i think.. correct me if im wrong) but do iz, tiger, jackie, matty, cat or pixie (forgive me if im forgetting anyone pls) have special backstories or was it like “oh i like this fc lemme come up w something!”?

gracie is indeed inspired by my childhood friend!! shoutout to naomi, who unknowingly prompted the creation of my OC…

isabell is old, so i forget the specifics but i wrote a fanfic before DS on a different account that was mainly about natasha and a kid, but had a bucky side plot, and it made me realise how much i liked writing bucky. + i’d been wanting to use isabelle fuhrmann as a fc since before i’d even started writing.

cat is also a little blurry to me. i was big into leon the professional around the time her concept came to me, and her original face claim was mathilda from that movie, so i think that was what inspired me?? i also just loved matt murdock in general so i felt like i had to write a child OC for him. i’ve been a daredevil fan since 2021 :0

tiger had many many forms before she became who she is now!! i knew immediately when i started watching twd that i wanted an OC for it, and so a bunch of different concepts followed. the early stages of tiger were much less rude but very, very talkative, and she was written in first person for a while!! my favourite fact about the tiger prototypes was that her “thing” was originally rollerskating. she lived on the highway rather than in the forest adjacent and got away from walkers by zooming around on skates. however, as she became progressively more aggressive and tiger-ish, i figured that putting her on skates would be too much of a threat, so i gave her a dog instead.

jackie popped into my head randomly after i thought i’d finished designing tiger’s character. she was originally called frankie, and a lot more like older tiger, but i switched her up a bit once i’d figured out her plotline. she was also originally hailee steinfeld!! i only chose sophie nelisse after originally planning to use her for something different, but when i was going through a scp, i saw that her character in that movie had a pet called boots, so i changed my mind and went with what fate decided instead.

matty isn’t super thrilling. he doesn’t have much of a backstory as a character, except that i wanted to use this dude from yellowstone as a face claim, and then i didn’t even keep that fc 😭. however, his main thing is that he’s inspired by my younger brother, who i love more than anyone else in the world.

pixie mention!! pixie was made bc my friend ellie (@ellielovesstars) was creating a tua OC at the time, and i wanted us to be matching. og pixie was called sasha and had a different fc, but then got revamped when tua s4 came out, and then promptly abandoned…

sorrow, my newest fully developed OC, was inspired by castiel!! i liked his odd, not quite human sort of existence, and how he missed all these social cues and stood too close to people and was still trying to work out the world, and i wanted an OC that he could feel connected to. i also really liked the idea of bird people, i do not know why, and there’s a lot of magpies in my back garden, so sorrow became a magpie because of that. shes also named after a magpie nursery rhyme, which begins with “one for sorrow”, so it felt fitting :))

[ingydarwp]

i’ve always wondered, how did you come up with the plot of DS? idk if you’ve answered this before but the brain worms have wondered this for so long now and they need to know

oh man my memory is vague and distant but!! we persist!!

BASICALLY, i wrote a really ancient fic before DS about a blackhill daughter!oc who, similar to gracie, had a side plot involving an interaction with bucky, so she ended up being very special to him. in the process of that, i realised how much i liked writing bucky, especially him interacting with kids, and the DS brain worms began!!

originally, DS was only supposed to be the road trip chapters, because i didn’t have a fully fleshed out plot, but it got a little bit of popularity fairly fast and this was the first time i’d had interaction/popularity on wattpad rather than just ao3, so i sort of made up the rest of the plot as i went along to keep my readers happy?? it was never a particularly thought-out process, but i just knew i wanted bucky, a small girl and a road trip, and after that, the rest of it just fell into place piece by piece :)

[ingydarwp]

what david bowie and/or florence + the machine songs match your ocs? i love your characters and i know where jackie is!! jackie's at my house having a tea party!!!

this is such an awesome question oh my gosh??

gracie: rabbit heart (raise it up) — florence + the machine

tiger: daffodil, howl, mermaids, what kind of man, drumming song — florence + the machine,

matty: my boy builds coffins — florence + the machine (matty is actually a coffin maker at one point!!), and starman — bowie

sorrow: sorrow — david bowie and blinding, hunger, heaven is here, bird song — florence + the machine

jackie: heroes — david bowie and spectrum, only if for a night, cassandra — florence + the machine

isabell: june — florence + the machine

+

i don’t really write for her anymore but cat is very “oh you pretty things” and “kooks” coded, both by bowie :))
