The nanny Fran is a Pokémon trainer now. Not bad if you ask me. I'd watch this. 😂

New chapter of Søsken up!

Chapter 53 is finally among us.

I haven't had the time to edit and post it here as usual. But in the meantime, here are the links to AO3 and Fanfiction.

I thought the dog had frozen. WTF. My brain stopped working for a bit

The back of the hooked rug I just finished, after finishing and before.

The books that taught me how to rug hook emphasized neatness and not jumping over lines of hooking, and I've tried to adhere to that. It makes fixing mistakes a lot easier.

What? That's insane. I remember watching Buffy on TV back in the day, but I guess I never watched beyond season 3. I guess I should, given this is what's waiting for me.

Buffy season 6 is insane. It’s like what if someone you loved died a meaningful and accepting death but you couldn’t live without them so you brought them back. And against all odds, they didn’t come back wrong, but they didn’t WANT to come back at all, and now they have to learn to live in this world again while resenting their friends and family for taking the death they willingly chose away from them. And existence is hell compared to death because in life they never get a break and never get to rest because they’re constantly needed by everyone. And they can’t chose to die a second time because they know what it would do to their loved ones who still never got over the fact that they died the first time. And also there’s a musical episode.

1 (søsken) and 6?

Hi, Noni! Thanks for the questions!

1. Song that reminds me of Søsken:

To be honest, there are several songs that had inspired Søsken or parts of it. But to be concise, let's mention two songs and an album.

"In the blood" by John Mayer. This one shouldn't come as a surprise since it was included in one of the chapters. Chapter 14, if I'm not mistaken. I remember while I was writing that chapter I wrote the scene which included the song and then erased it. And then I wrote it once again. Till this day I'm not sure if the song belongs in there. It messes with the time frame the story is set in. Søsken is set in the middle 90s and the song is from the 2010s. It also seems weird to include the lyrics like that. But still believe those lyrics speak to Elsa and I can't make up my mind about taking them out of the chapter or not.

"Into my mother's arms" by Kaleo. This song isn't a spoiler in itself but it has inspired something that will happen in future chapters. The first time I listened to it, which was two or three years ago, I felt it was Elsa speaking and ever since I couldn't take it out of my mind.

Now, the album that reminds me of Søsken is Divenire by Ludovico Einaudi. I enjoy listening to soft piano while I write and I've got to admit Divenire has been on repeat throughout the most important chapters I've written. One of them was titled after one of the songs in the album. Ludovico's music has been great inspiration. I highly recommend it.

6. Story by another author I re-read all the time:

"All it cost" by Nova42. That's the story that started it all. She has written a prequel, an in-between story and she is currently writing the sequel to All it cost. Till this day no story has represented Anna and Elsa in a better way. Nova is an excellent, excellent writer. Her stories can make you cry your eyes out in one scene and laugh in the next. The setting, the plot... Everything is amazing. Please, if you haven't read it, please do. Ice read each chapter more than ten times I think. We also like to analyse the characters through comments. Following that story and Nova has made me grow so much as a writer.

This doesn't mean I haven't read and enjoyed other stories as much as well, but this one is the one that stands out.

Sorry for the long reply, but I couldn't just name a song or a story and not explain why. Lol.

[lelitachay]

3 for the ask?

Thanks for sending a question!

Even though Søsken would seem like the obvious answer, my favourite story is Joan of Arc: HERE is the link if you're interested.

It probably has a lot of things to correct but it's the first story I wrote and shared. And what's more, I still have this headcanon about Elsa not feeling comfortable with the story of Joan of Arc. So, yeah, that's my favourite story :)

Hello there!

I'm sorry I haven't able to continue reading your masterpiece. (Live's been busy, and with little time I have, I can only focus in one fandom 😔). Anyway I know you're an amazing writter.

So for the ask game:

2 and 15

Hope you have a great day 🥰

Hi, Tare-chan! Such a long time. I'm so glad to see you in my notification box. Please, don't apologise about that, I can't expect people to stay in one fandom for so many years lol. I'm the one who's taking forever to finish the story. And I know exactly how you feel, my only fandom atm is Frozen and I can't follow all the stories I'd like to. I have several in line tbh. Who knows, maybe one day when Søsken is finished you can stop by and see what happens at the end. I can drop a message when that happens if you want :P

Now, about the questions, let's see... 2. Do you read/reread your own fics? Oh, yes. Actually when you read the first chapters of Søsken you can see in the A/N that I constatly say the story is a personal challenge and that I am writing it for myself. I was not lying about that. I'm still challenging myself and writing it for myself. I was just immensely lucky for people like you to like the story and start reading it alongside me. Lately, I've been re-reading the latest chapters and I've had more trouble re-reading the first ten chapters. Whenever I go back to the very beginning I see all the little mistakes and things I'd like to correct and I get distracted. One day I'll correct those mistakes. For now, I just read and try to enjoy whatever thoughts I put into words. Re-reading also helps me see if I have already tackled major plot points or not. So, it's both entertaining and helpful.

15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters? I've got to admit that titles are hard. Harder than I thought they would be. Usually, when the title for a chapter comes first and links the different scenes is better. When that happens I have a thread to follow. Most of the time, sadly, I can't find the right title and I end up listening to songs that inspired the scenes or part of the story to see if one of the words in the lyrics help me name the chapter. 90% of the time I write the chapter first and then I try to see what I can do about the name. Thank you for stopping by and leaving an ask! Thank you for your kind words as well! So glad to see you're doing okay, just vibing in a different fandom :D

[lelitachay]

You're the one you've been waiting for

All of my life.

Hi It's me! For the fanfic thing I choose 7 & 25

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

7. How many ideas: I'd say I have 3 ideas lurking around.

- Søsken, of course. It doesn't leave my head lol. I also have a post Søsken idea but I guess that could be considered a different fic since it's a "what happens after" kind of fic. I'd like to give Elsa the opportunity to take her demons to court and find justice for the things that happened to her.

- "Tree of Life" the canon Frozen story I was talking about in the previous ask.

- "Alliances" it's a fic I started here on Tumblr I think I posted two chapters but to be honest I never developed the story deeply. At this point I don't think I'd continue it, at least not until I know what happens in Frozen 3 and 4.

25. Have I ever upset myself: Mmm, interesting question. I've got to be honest, something really upsetting happened in real life that made writing a few chapters quite difficult. I planned out and started writing about Elsa suffering sepsis over a year ago. Around that time one of my friends got terrible news about the health of her son. Last January, after months of treatment, when the family finally thought he was going to make it, he got infected with a bacteria inside the hospital. Three days after finding out about the bacteria, the infection got into his bloodstream and spread. Sadly, he was young and weak, so he couldn't make it. It was a tremendous shock to all of us and we had a difficult time coping. Writing about Elsa suffering sepsis after Toto was gone felt like I was mocking myself. I had a difficult time finding the will to sit down and write. Until one morning I realised I could give Elsa the happy ending Toto couldn't have and I think that helped. Sitting down and write helped me cope in a way and turned out to be therapeutic. I still think it was one of the hardest coincidences I have ever experienced. So, to your question, the original idea I had wouldn't have affected me so bad if life hadn't thrown me in the same scenario a few months after coming up with the idea.

My friend is doing a lot better now, but we are still trying to find ways to help her. It's strange to think we have no say in how life goes sometimes.

[lelitachay]

Let's go with 5 and 18 :D (fic idea that you probably won't write and your favorite sentence)

Yay! Questions! Thanks for sending some.

Let's see...

5. Fic I'll probably never write: I don't like saying never, because the idea is still pretty solid and I can't ignore the fact that I have a diagram of events already planned. But there was this fic taking place from a few months after Frozen 1 and developing into some of the events of Frozen 2, changing things along the way of course.

In this plot Elsa struggles a lot more with being Queen, not all Arendellians are comfortable with the idea of a magical Queen and she ends up having a personal guard. Marshall. She isn't comfortable with his presence either but the Captain and the council insist is for the best. Elsa also struggles a lot with the voice she keeps hearing till the point she thinks she's going mad. For these reasons Anna starts taking a more prominent role as Elsa's right hand to the point Elsa considers abdicating several times in favour of doing what's right for Arendelle. They do travel North at some point, but Northuldrian aren't very open to the idea of the Queen of Arendelle walking their lands.

That's the gist, more or less. I still think it's a good story worth developing, but Søsken is my priority and what always occupies my mind. Lol.

18. Favourite sentence: The sentence itself is basic and probably doesn't say much but in the context of Søsken, I love it. When I came up with the idea I was really proud of myself and then one of my favourite fic writers pointed it out and so it undoubtedly became my favourite idea so far.

"I prepared some tea. I'd offer you some but it's peppermint. I know how much you hate it."

It's from chapter 33 - Ritornare
