And finally, to complete my yearly game posts, here's what I plan on playing in the year 2024:

1. Assemble With Care - a short little game I should be able to knock out in a few hours but I picked it up in a bundle and I have wanted to play it so I will try to knock it out this year.

2. I'm more than half way done with Baldur's Gate 3 but I likely will be playing it through January. I hope to finish it at least once before P3R.

3. Bloodborne - help.

4. Borderlands 2 - since I had such a blast playing Borderlands with my boyfriend this year, I'm looking forward to giving this game a second chance and hopefully enjoying it much more.

5. Borderlands 3 - a little less hopeful for this one, since I haven't heard much good about it, but might as well knock out the main franchise.

6. Boyfriend Dungeon - I just got this for Christmas and I'm excited for the concept of romancing my weapons :)

7. I'm also more than halfway through Catherine, so I also intend to finish that in the coming month.

8. Cat Museum - something cute and short I picked up on mega sale and want to make an effort to play this year.

9. The Coffin of Andy and Leyley - I actually have no idea what this game is about or if I'll like it but it was a gift so dammit I'll play it.

10. Dragon's Dogma 2 - Dragon's Dogma is easily in my top 10 games of all time, and I am SO hype for this game. The only downside is it's coming in March, and the first quarter of 2024 is pretty PACKED with games for me.

11. Etrian Odyssey - because I never finished it when I owned it on DS but I'm in my Atlus Games era rn so

12. Far: Lone Sails - I was drawn to this game for the art and it seems like a quick little experience of a game.

13. Final Fantasy 16 DLC - blanketing over the currently available DLC and the up and coming DLC.

14. Hades - a carry over from 2023's list but THIS WILL BE THE YEAR (maybe)

15. Haven - I don't think (?) this game is very long but it looks very heartwarming so I'm here for it this year.

16. Little Nightmares 2 - another fairly short game that I have no reason not to play, especially when I'm obsessed with the first one.

17. Little Nightmares 3 - I don't know what the release date is yet but like Borderlands let's try to close out a franchise!

18. Metaphor: ReFantazio - it doesn't even have a release date and I'm already excited about it.

21. Nier Automata - another carry over from 2023, but I have a good feeling about it this year.

19. NEO: The World Ends With You - I hear only good things about this game but I will be walking into it 98% blind.

20. Nightingale - Idk how much I'll actually play this game but my friend and I have been watching its development for years and we are READY

22. Nier Replicant - I watched a friend play some of this and it looked fun, and since I saw it was free on PS plus... why not.

23. Octopath Traveler - this is to feed my JRPG addiction but break up some of my Atlus obsession

24. Opus: Echo of Starsong - This was a gift like 2 years ago and I really want to play it through this year.

25. Persona 3 Reload - I ALREADY TOOK VACATION FOR IT IM SO READY 38 MORE DAYS

26. Persona 4 Arena - Because I think it's the only readily available Persona game I haven't played yet.

27. Sea of Stars - I'm more than half through this too, I stopped playing it to play Tactica so I'll be finishing this soon as well.

28. Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne - I put a fair amount of time into it this year, and I adore this game. I'm finishing it next year.

29. Shin Megami Tensei 5 - for real this year, I promise (🤞)

31. Undertale - why have I not played this? Why did it sit on my list last year untouched? Why did I install it and never play it? The world may never know.

30. Soul Hackers 2 - because again, I'm in my Atlus Games era and I bought it this year so time to play it.

32. Untitled Goose Game - for casual hijinks

I'm even more ambitious this year than last year and thats without knowing even half of whats to be released in 2024 sooo wish me luck.

anyway i checked my completion stuff

21/23 main quests. i will forever be annoyed that you can't ~actually~ finish destroy gan/find zeld quests

49/60 side adventures

30/31 shrine quests, also i checked and 20 of the shrine quests i did were the stupid fucking crystal ones. literally 2/3s of the quests are the exact same shit. how people shit on ss for making you fight a boss three times but accept this lazy fucking garbage makes me sjfhdh

98/139 side quests, and i think some of these might be misko's treasures stuff that i ended up finding on my own without activating the quest. unless those are marked in side adventures, i forgor

144/152 shrines, 120/120 lightroots, the remaining 8 shrines are all on the surface and i know where they are because of the lightroots i just didn't finish them because i wanted to leave a few extra to do post final boss. also i'm so annoyed that they once again made it so you can either complete your hearts or stamina but not both

62.56% complete according to the map, so i'm guessing they again decided to weight korok completion as if its equal to the other shit which makes it seem fucked. i've done like 110 or smth idk i didn't think to check. i don't even know how many korok seeds are in this game come to think of it??? actually i just googled it and apparently there's 1000 lmao fuck off

also idk how many bubbul gems there are overall either but last time i talked to koltin i had like 90 something more to go and now i have like 62, so 30~ left to go of that. and didn't think to check the wells either but i think i've got like 20 left of those

i found/bought all the clothes also but the only thing i upgraded the whole way was the fierce deity outfit cuz it's the best and i love him. i haven't found the sword of the six sages or just sword yet as far as previously amiiboexclusive stuff goes, but i'm pretty sure i've found all the other weapons n stuff

also still got some compendium left to complete

as disappointed as the ending made me about everything, i still really enjoy the game and plan to go back to it to finish shit up (well. besides the koroks and fully upgrading all armor bc i can't be assed). bubbul gem lover 4 lyfe

Episode 6: "SHIVER ME TIMBERS, IT'S A MUTINY BABYYY"—Trinica

Sin Sazonar 2.0

Trinica

Okay we won the challenge blah blah amazing. Colin/Raffy/Jinx survived tribal, whatever, cool. But SHIVER ME TIMBERS, IT'S A MUTINY BABYYY

and it completely backfired. I mutinied with a QUICKNESS because I wanted to be separated from Tanner (because I don't want to be on a tribe of 5 with someone who tends not to perform as well at challenges), Clefford (because we haven't spoken game and he's closer to AJ and Hairie than me), and AJ (because...idk I feel like I'm more inclined to work with others over her and if we were separated it would help me feel less guilty and also be able to play the middle longer).

SO GUESS WHO I END UP WITH. Tanner, AJ, and Clefford. And Hairie, which is good!! But I am so scared because there is no way Hairie doesn't IMMEDIATELY target AJ, and AJ has an idol. Which could potentially send Hairie home. Unless I can get her to vote Tanner or Clefford? Idk. There are moves to be made but I fear the middle isn't a spot I'll be acquainted with for long.

Clefford

Old people underestimated us so much that they got comfortable with the challenges that led them to consecutive tribal councils.

I'm proud of what YOUNG players can bring to this season. We're strategic, social butterfly, and have the capacity to face everything that will be thrown to us.

Unfortunately, swap came. Perfect timing to eliminate one of us. Thanks to Jay. Those people from my OG tribe is now on the minority namely: Adeline, Shawn, Brandi, and Arvin. I wish them the best and hopefully survive.

I'm still with AJ, Hairie, Tanner, and Trinica. I'm actually thankful, because I know that they're good in the challenges that will keep me safe.

This is so new to me. I don't really have an alliance so far. Compare to my first game back in the Racoon City that on Day 1 I already formed an alliance with MJ and Zukiswa. Our trio dominated the game that season. Now, I'm just taking my time to really assess everyone to what I am to them and hopefully find a common denominator to really align.

Wait for me, but first hopefully survive. This is Survivor after all.

Sooooooooooo. I’m a little bit baffled at everything that went down. I woke up this morning very confused and despite knowing what happened now I’m still kind of like, well that was sudden. Now AJ, I hear you wondering, what are your thoughts and feelings about this?

In short, I’m a bit upset.

I feel like I missed out. I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t get a choice in that matter. And like it’s not just because I was being inactive or I went to sleep early knowing something was happening last night - because I was planning to stay up late tonight after tribal since I thought tribal was going to be tonight (and I knew something was happening after tribal). So I had no way of knowing, and no way of doing anything about it, and no way to make a choice. But I also feel like since it’s really just me who wasn’t online, there’s nothing that can be done about it. Because everyone else is most likely fine with the way things shook out - or at least had a bit of a say in it. So it just kind of sucks on that level.

If I had gotten a choice, this tribe makeup would NOT have been it. This is probably one of the worst layouts of a tribe I could have possibly ended up on. Why? Because it’s very much me on the chopping block if we end up going to a tribal council. Hairie and Clefford will work together, Trinica will probably work with me, and Tanner is the middle vote - though he’ll maybe be more willing to vote with Hairie. Which means I go home. Unless I use my idol. Which I REALLY did not want to use yet.

Also how do I know I’d be on the chopping block? Hairie. Boy is in my DMs trying to guilt me about being in a 4 person alliance chat and not telling him about it. (why would I tell you about every alliance I’m in? that is not how you play this game.) Apparently two unnamed people who got swapped out, which means Brandi and Shawn, or maybe just Brandi idk, told him that the 4 person chat existed before they left. They also said it was my idea. Which it wasn’t entirely. I asked Shawn if they’d think a GC would be a good idea and they were like yeah I was just about to bring that up. And then they were working so I asked people if they were interested. But I made sure to mention Shawn each time.

So yeah Hairie entered my DMs trying to ‘clear the air’ (guilt trip me about an alliance/imply I’m on the bottom of this tribe), and then turned around and wants me to vote for him to get this reward? You’re gonna make me feel even worse about everything and then expect me to give you a reward for it?

This just sucks so much because I really went into this game and have stayed in the mindset of wanting to actually work and play together with Hairie - but he seems to think that anything he learns that I didn’t tell him means I’m actively working against him. Like, if I have to tell him every little detail of my game in order to be in an alliance with him then it isn’t really worth it to work with him. So that’s another level of how this sucks.

Also I was really really excited to potentially meet some players from Antigua, or maybe see and chat with Jinx again (it’s been so long and I miss them), or Raffy, or Colin or any of the cool people who I know nothing about over there. That's what I was most looking forward to in a swap. That and getting away from the drama that happened in Round 1. But like, that didn’t happen.

TL:DR; I’m a bit upset because I’m in a terrible position on this tribe, and that could have been different if the swap happened when I thought it was going to happen (tonight) - which I already planned to stay awake for - instead of being a surprise instant and live tribal last night. Not doing too hot gang. Wish me luck.

Trinica

A 48-hr creative challenge while I'm on a tribe with only 2 members in a close timezone and everyone else being 6-14 hours ahead is my personal hell. The one person in my timezone (Tanner) barely responds to messages but says he wants to act, which requires him to be on the same page as everyone else. AJ is busy all day but at least is getting her clips done. Hairie and Clefford are just so far ahead that we only have a few overlapping hours (and I think they're at work so it's not like they can be online and responding all the times that I'm online anyway). The tribe is so quiet. Is this going to get done? Is it going to look good? YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE

There was a brief brief moment last night, in the height of my frustration when it took us hours to decide on an idea even though we had an idea very early on in the evening...where I considered throwing it. I don't have it in me, though. But if we lose, I won't be that upset. Hopefully we could send home someone less active like Tanner, maybe AJ would play her idol and send home someone I talk to less like Clefford, etc etc. Hopefully it wouldn't fall on me if we lost. But at this point I've taken over so much of the control of this project (or at least the organization) that I could be an easy scapegoat. Especially since I've performed well in challenges so far and we're nearing a merge. IDK WE'LL SEEEEEE

Clefford

The challenge was really fun. It was made for us to really get together and bond. Making the music video, which was AJ's idea by the way, was brilliant. Trinica led the challenge and make things organised. Hairie was the one who edited the video and it was great!

We did amazing on making the music video and got the highest score on the challenge. I also wanna commend Elegida's children book. They're smart and it was good.

We've been winning challenges conservatively, that's why we've become so comfortable. Trinica, Hairie, and I decided to make a trio. I think it's good, because at this point of the game that's what I need, an alliance.

Hopefully I reach merge and get to play again finally.

Trinica

Oh man, thank goodness for challenge advantages! After reviewing the other tribes' projects, I don't think the scoring of ours was PARTICULARLY fair (I would have rated ours above the picture book, even or below the song). I did expect to be docked on creativity, I did mention that as a con to this idea, BUT at the end of the day we put together an amazing video and I'm super proud of it (and the supplemental materials)!

Anyway. Shawn and Adeline are in danger, which sucks. I'm hoping Colin WASN'T working with Zo and Maddison and Shawn/Del can pull them in. But if one of them has to go home, sorry Shawn, I hope it's them. They're too likable!

Hairie

The round started as mutiny which me and Trinica wanted. We managed to get others on our tribe to mutiny but we were late. There were so many people that wanted to mutiny and the first 5 got to be on the same tribe. The rest were randomised. and guess what?! Sin Sazonar and our tribe was completely old tribemates.

The upcoming challenge was a creative comp which thank god we had the 20% ADV which helped and we won YET AGAIN! I'm loving this era of being safe from tribal hahah.

Me and Trinica found the idol at the resort with our purchase and we're ready to flip shit up.

My trust rankings: 1. Trinica 2. Clefford 3. Tanner 4. AJ

Me and AJ's relationship at the moment is kinda on the fence because clearly we cannot trust each other. I mean I tried but there's just something amiss about it.

Trinica

OMG I FOUND AN IDOLLLLLLLLL

There is like a 0% chance I play this correctly simply because I'm a big target (or will be if I'm not already) and will probably get blindsided... and because Hairie KNOWS I have it, which, oof, I was on a call with him when I purchased the items. I wish I hadn't been. I can lie well, but not if I don't have time to process first. When Jay sent the idol message I literally said "OH MY GOD" and couldn't think of an appropriate way to walk that back to like "oh it's an extra vote!" lmao

If Hairie knows, I do worry that Clefford, Arvin, and/or Tanner will soon know. Which is why I never tell people about idols. Buuuut it is what it is. AND! I have a legacy idol, I don't know what it is but it's good until Final 4. I'm honestly more excited about THIS than I am about the idol because at least there's no downside to me going home with this in my pocket—I just will it to someone else. And Hairie doesn't know about this item (wish it was the other way around where he doesn't know about my idol but OH WELL)!

Elegida

Amy

okay in retrospect if it wasn't a live tribal I probably would have voted Colin out lol that's my emotions bc I spent time with Colin irl but they haven't talked to me since I voted Ellie 😀 but then I still saved them over JG who I had like legit convos with daily. 🤠 How does one play survivor, really? Don't meet these people irl they'll give you feelings in your cold, dead, aquarius heart 🖤

Raffy

So. Much. Happened. So, after the challenge, the oldies decided to do a live instant tribal council for drama. I immediately went to Jinx and Amy because I knew they will not write my name down even if we vote opposite ways. I explained that the only real choices would be between Colin and JG. And I was straight up and said I was leaning JG. Amy didn’t want to vote for Colin because she somehow trusts and wants to work with Colin still even if everything she’s done up to that point proved otherwise? In any case, she was just concerned about the numbers. Our saving Grace though was Colin’s deep connection with Zo. Apparently, they grew really close which meant that Zo didn’t want to vote for Colin either. So Colin was able to successfully push JG and we sent JG to the VL in a 4-3 vote. While my confessional was iconic, I must admit that JG was tough in this game to get rid of. He definitely insulated himself well on this tribe. If only we could’ve won one more challenge then he would have been able to skate through to the merge unscathed. In any case, there was a wrench when Colin tried to switch the vote to Jinx, but I told him to vote JG and he did. It was the only way. 1. I can’t get rid of Jinx. 2. No one would have voted Jinx. And then the mutiny came and I knew I needed to get Jinx away from Colin and that I needed to get away so we wouldn’t be pinned as a duo and targeted within a tribe. And Amy was already inclined to go. So Amy Jinx and I all agreed to mutiny so we have majority. And there is still a majority old people when we leave. So theoretically, no matter what, we will send a new school person home and even the numbers out before merge.

Amy

Mutiny tribe iconic! I really like Brandi and she is going all in on this challenge and told us all where advantages are probably bc she would be in Danger™️ if we lose. Arvin is invisible but also I want to win and keep someone invisible and thankful around, even if he has the SEA connection. We are making a children's book and somehow I'm on illustration I really gotta start lying about liking to draw on my iPad but thank god we agreed on stick figures in a children's style lol! But I won't be sleeping bc it's still like 13 pages plus activities pages which is originally all I thought I was making. Anyway apparently I had 40 coins, Gave raffy 20 who bought some pearl necklace thing and conveniently forgot to tell me so I'm assuming he has an idol. It's funny bc I thought I had 20 otherwise I would have just gone and bought it myself 🤣 regardless it will be hilarious if he idols me out with the coins I gave him which are half eman's coins. Anyway sitting in a majority on our swap tribe and really no matter what the results are of the challenge, a new school player should go home but I've seen wilder things happen. Also I just love creative challenges so I'm excited to see our final product and excited to see the other tribe's project. Originally I was like I could print a hard cover of our book! But that's my grand idea side not the practical side that knows I'm about to stress over a deadline lol. Vibes are back up 🙌

Brandi

I told the Mutiny crowd about the DA so hopefully they will see me as trustworthy but also willing to share things I learn about the idol hunt.... so maybe they will share with me, too....

Arvin

I think I just messed up my game with the "mutiny thingy". Now I'm in the minority when it comes to tribal lines. I hope to create more bonds so that they can trust me. Amy is the only one I didn't play with before and she's so sweet. Raffy is someone I worked with during my first season, and Jinx said we should talk more this season. Brandi is in my only alliance chat in the game. I love our tribe. I think we are a strong tribe that can win challenges. Mutiny tribe ftw! Ahu! Ahu!

Raffy

I’m liking my new tribe a lot! Obviously Jinx Amy and I are going to be in control, but Brandi is here! I can definitely rekindle a relationship with her. Arvin is sweet too. It just feels like a less dramatic and tense tribe than my original. It’s a breath of fresh air and I feel like my game has been revitalized!

Arvin

Ahhhhhhh, it's my dreaded creativity challenge. So I did my part while im at the hospital. Huhu. I did voiceovers and it was very hard for me because I have tubes attached to my neck and I have a cough so I had to cut the recordings for every page. I hope Raffy could minimize the background noise since I cannot find a quite corner in the hospital. I hope I contributed enough for the immunity challenge. At the end of the day, creativity challenge is sooooo FUN. Wohooooo!

Amy

It's me spending hours doodling fully expecting to lose this challenge unless our advantages come through. 😅 But hey I haven't drawn in a while so it felt good.

Me and Brandi: spend hours putting this book together Jinx and Arvin: spend 5 minutes reading the story 🤠

Raffy

We may not have gotten the highest score, but we shared where advantage locations were to make sure they would carry us! That's probably how the new-school tribe got so many challenge advantages. That is very new-school behavior. Most people in the old days would never reveal that information.

I think Brandi wants to boot up an alliance with herself, me, and Hairie like we did in The North Sea. I wouldn't be opposed. But, I don't want to promise too many alliances so I'm not stuck in a situation like I was on my original tribe where everyone felt good about me and I'm stressed on who to vote out.

Amy

tbh I think we deserve to go to tribal but thankful for those maxed out advantages haha!

Brandi

I was so so so worried we were gonna be rated low after seeing how good all their stuff was……… I think we did a good job but also missed some music memo LOL

Antigua 2.0

Shawn

I already don't like Colin. He's really bringing nothing to the table but telling us how to do everything. Honestly, he reminds me of every other white man. I don't need a man to tell me to do all the work writing everything, and for him to make one mood board and call it a day. Thanks but yeah, no.

Okay maybe I judged Colin too quickly. I've heard about him from before the switch and didn't love the vibes I got. But maybe I have to go into this with an open mind. He did a great job with the bracelets, and I think I judged too soon. Let's hope no one makes the same mistake I did, especially not towards me.

Colin

those judges are WACK. like our submission was just SO much better. maddison created a FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND FLESHED OUT WEBSITE. adeline WROTE, RECORDED, and MADE A LYRIC VIDEO TO a completely original song for this. ALL of us contributed to fleshing out AntiQua and all of us fell in love with her. i can't believe we lost. challenge advantages honestly have fucked us over so many times.

Shawn

I'm really upset. We created an entire person, but nothing came out of it. I don't understand how we could have done anything more impressive for them to judge. But I guess we have to take their criticism and roll with it. We're going to tribal, and I don't even know who I want to vote out. I'm confused honestly, ours was so creative, that was the point wasn't it? And everyone contributed, it wasn't just the song. Idk.

Maddison

honestly LAME i’m so sick of tribal lmao pls can i just 🤨🤨🤨 not go to tribal for a second i s2g. i’m so sleepy let me circle back tmrw but for now boo this is not swag! could keep the barbie ken bit going but what if barbie and ken aren’t planning on keeping the bit going 🤔 the two new members just need one person to flip and they are on the bottom so i’m sure people are considering it? basically i don’t know how this is gonna go!

Shawn

For the first time in this game I don't really have anyone I want to vote for. Adeline and I are close, we are a team. But Zo and Maddison are useful, they're from the older tribe, they have experience. They also are good at challenges. Colin is really nice, and he's reached out to me first. I'm confused and really don't wanna vote for anyone 😭

Colin

going to tribal AGAIN is so unfortunate. like I really like this tribe. adeline and shawn honestly just fell in with us so naturally. it's unfortunate because I could see this 5 going together strong in merge.

i kinda spoke into my alliance with maddison and zo that we should keep adeline. she really vibed hard with us and I think she's here to play. it'll be important to have strong allies on the other side going into a merge, where old school will likely still have the minority.

it sucks because shawn is so cool and nice. but i think it should be an easy vote out??? maybe i'm getting blindsided idk

Adeline

Collin tells me it’s Shawn and ALSO that raffy made this whole plan to give them all majority on their respective tribes w the mutiny. i need him tf out of here whenever its an option… that brain works too well and i don’t like it one bit. And somehow while being the clearest strategic person in the entire cast, everyone wants to work with them. Danger danger danger tsk tsk tsk. Just noting for later

Shawn confirms it’s me to me, Collin says he’s telling Shawn it’s me. I shrug and do not know what to trust but.

i have Alfredo pasta so i really don’t care if i get voted out bc i need time to savor that.

Shawn says “I’m so sorry queen” i cry a single tear for them or a million tears of embarrassment for myself

mid-year book freak out tag

ty for the tag @bloody-wonder! time to rant about books ayy

1. Best Book You've Read So Far in 2021?

It has to be This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Loved everything about it, the style the story (even if it did take me a while to understand what was going on) the characters the absolute yearning it was just. perfect.

But also The King’s Men by Nora Sakavic for a lot of reasons I still don’t really know how to put into words? I still need some time to process this series ig

2. Best Sequel You've Read So Far in 2021?

The Golden Yarn by Cornelia Funke, I’ve waited so long to read this and finally (fINALLY!) I did and it did not disappoint. The worldbuilding was just fantastic, loved how the mirror world geography/political asset was based on early 8th century history I’m so weak for this. Also I just,,, missed the mess that is Jacob Reckless so much my boy my precious son give him some fucking rest.

(And ofc honourable mention part 2 The Raven King by Nora Sakavic this book really was a gut punch)

3. New Release You Haven't Read Yet, But Want To?

The Silver Tracks by Cornelia Funke, I’ve been waiting for this book for like 5? years now? I just need to read this if only the English translation came out sooner hhhhhh

4. Most Anticipated Release For Second Half of 2021?

Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey which I’m also dreading cause it’s the last book of this series and I Do Not Want It To End I’m so not ready for it I know it’ll be so painful and I will cry and I am so worried for specifically One Character cause his story took A Turn already and I Am Fear.

Also Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz cause I was not expecting a sequel this year but !!!!! love those boys can’t wait to read about them again njhknjkhk

5. Biggest Disappointment?

Time’s Convert by Deborah Harkness, it did have good parts tbh but overall it was just Not Great. It was very slow paced and flat all around? I wanted Marcus’ backstory and I mean yeah its there but,,, Phoebe’s story was just so boring I liked her in the main trilogy and was interested when the book started with her POV but then she just,,, idk she could’ve been a great character with a new perspective on vampires but she just felt like Bella Swan 2.0 and I am not a fan. Also this book was just unnecessary long, the story was stretched out and went on for way more than it should have

6. Biggest Surprise?

Oh for sure All For the Game series by Nora Sakavic. I started it thinking “oh a fun and light read” but I was a fOOL I was Not expecting,,, anything? that’s in the series? went in thinking it was just another YA about sports and gays and maybe a bit trashy and got suckerpunched with mafia wars, the most sane and healthy relationship I’ve ever seen, great consent and boundaries talk, ace rep??? actually good ace rep?? best trauma handling ive seen in ages, got an existential crisis, started and solved a sexuality crisis (and sort ofa gender crisis i didn't know i had?), a few more personal realisations and honestly just,,, came out of it a complete and utter mess I finished it in April and I am still not over it I literally cannot physically start any other book I just keep going back to this series and its characters I,,, damn Nora

7. Favourite New Author?

I guess it’s pretty fair to say Nora Sakavic at this point

8. Newest Fictional Crush?

uh don’t really get fictional crushes?

9. Newest Favourite Character?

Oh man. I’m going to be predictable but Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten. I just,,, am so emotional about these two but also they’re so complex and multifaceted they’re honestly Great Characters and I’ll never get tired or reading/talking meta about them there’s so much to explore and say about them I’m !!!!!

Also all the foxes have a special place in my heart I love them all ç_ç

10. Book That Made You Cry?

Well of course All For the Game by Nora Sakavic was a rollercoaster I cried a lot for lots of different reasons I do talk about other things besides aftg usually I’m just having a moment ok but also The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid had me in tears, especially reading Harry’s part was,,, a lot. I had a feeling something was going to happen with/to him and then I read the subtitle for his chapter and. i just started crying and didn’t stop it was. yeah.

11. Book That Made You Happy?

Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes by Cory O’Brien, making fun of greek mythology never gets old lmao

Also! Didnt make me happy exactly (it was v painful) but I had the most fun reading The Maze Runner series by James Dashner after I put it off for so long (2021 is the year I’m catching up to YAs apparently) and it was just. you know when you read something and think “this author really did not have a plan uh”? That’s TMZ. I feel like Dashner wrote the first book and had this great idea about this maze and it’s brilliant honestly the first book is great but then,,, well he had to write two more right? And he had to get them out of the maze. And that’s when he realised he had to actually think about what was out of the maze, do some actual worldbuilding and fix his plot holes. And he Was Not Prepared For That. At All. like plot holes aside, some choices were just,,, why. Like the scene where Thomas is in that cafe and security goes “there’s an infected everyone evacuate”?? that’s nOT HOW YOU HANDLE AN AIRBORNE VIRUS JAMES (reading this during lockdown truly was an experience)

12. Favourite Book Adaptation You Saw This Year?

Uhh nothing yet but I want to watch And Then There Were None and I’m hYPED

13. Favourite Review You've Written This Year?

Bold of you to assume I write reviews

14. Most Beautiful Book You Bought So Far This Year?

Wanted to pick French back up so I got La Vie Suspendue and Les Yeux d’Elisha by Timothée de Fombelle in the omnibus edition and the cover is actually a map folded on itself and it’s double faced and when unfolded it’s hUGE it reaches to my knees?? Peak Design

15. What Books Do You Need To Read By The End of The Year?

Oh boy so many but I’m most hyped for:

An Unkindness of Ghosts by River Solomon cause nonbinary in space? Sign Me Up

Bunny by Mona Awad cause I’ve been promised batshit horror and I Am Here For It

the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo cause 1) gay heist 2) fantastic worldbuilding 3) I refuse to watch the series and not read the books (also I’ve read lots of mixed reviews about it so ofc I need to know)

The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton cause I do am weak for intricate time loops and impossible murder mysteries

All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater cause I’ve yet to read anything by her and this seems like the right vibe to start with (also the cover is great)

tagging @theblackswanuniverse (I know you have opinions) @pollyna @novishu @butallmystars

#do yell at me about books pls #this was funnn #i do rant about aftg a bit much do i

@thamilou Thanks for the tag, my love! 💖 Umm I changed it to Tumblr for mine bc same...I don't write on AO3. I hope that's okay. 😬

Answers below the cut. 👇🏼

1. how many works do you have on AO3 Tumblr?

Does a series count as one (as opposed to the # of chapters)? Assuming it does, 9, not counting hcs. If you count those then 15-ish?

2. what’s your total AO3 Tumblr word count?

I'm guessing there's an easy way to find that out on AO3? I don't think there's a total word count on Tumblr, but it's easily 10,000+.

3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Three: Naruto, My Hero Academia, Bleach

4. what are your top five fics by kudos notes?

1084 - Sleepy Sex (Bakugou)

396 (total) - Lessons Learned 1 & 2 (Bakugou)

373 - Riding the Fine Line (Bakugou)

326 - Calm What's Shook (Bakugou)

285 (total) - Cherry Pop no Jutsu 1 2 & 3 (Kakashi)

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

Yes, almost always! Why? Because I want people to know how much I appreciate their support, love, and encouragement.

6. what fic have you written with the angstiest ending?

Cherry Pop no Jutsu with Kakashi, for sure.

7. what fic have you written with the happiest ending?

Weeeellll I've got a couple in the works right now, but I don't want to give away any spoilers. So, as far as completed fics go, Riding the Fine Line with Bakugou. (I really wanted to make a joke here about all of mine having happy endings because everyone gets to cum! 😅)

8. do you write crossovers?

Nah, I haven't yet, but maybe I'll try it out in the future?

9. have you ever received hate on a fic?

On a particular fic, no. I have received hate once bc of a particular character. They were really shitty about it. Ya girl hit BLOCK and got on with her day. 💅🏼

10. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

😏😏😏 I write ALL the smuts! I'm a shameless hussy, what can I say? I only have a couple of hard limits (what I WON'T write), but most anything is fair game. I write kinky smut, erotic smut, sensual smut, romantic smut, hardcore smut, grudge fuck smut, AND MORE! I'm a veritable one-stop-shop for smut. So come on by and take a look at my smutty collection of smut and read one TODAY!

11. have you even had a fic stolen?

No, not that I'm aware of.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Same as above.

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

My very first collab is currently in progress with @inside-mychest! ✍🏼 And I hope to collab again in the future.

14. what’s your all-time favorite ship?

You know what? I've always thought that if Kakashi could've ended up with anyone in the Naruto-verse, I would've loved for it to have been Konan. Yes, she was in the Akatsuki, but all she ever wanted was to be there for Nagato and truly believed he was doing what was best for all humanity and she never faltered or left his side. She was gentle and beautiful and loyal asf and an unwavering caretaker and idk, I really think that if they could've met under different circumstances (did they ever even meet, idr?), I'd like to think they might've fallen in love.

15. what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

All of my current WIPs will be finished. I've come too far and love working on all of them too much to let them fall by the wayside.

16. what are your writing strengths?

Spelling. Grammar. I really live by the "show, don't tell" adage and try to remain cognizant of it whenever I'm writing. I always try to find a way to incorporate all 5 senses so my readers can feel like they're experiencing the story rather than just reading it. I want you to forget that you're reading when you read my shit. Same goes for emotions. I don't want to describe the feelings of the characters, I want you to feel their feelings. Making it an immersive experience matters a lot to me.

17. what are you writing weaknesses?

You tell me 😂!

Too many adverbs 😅. So many writers throughout history have ragged on using too many adverbs. So I try to look for verb/adverb or adverb/verb combinations and find ways to eliminate them. I struggle with that tho. I love what Mark Twain said about the word 'very' - to replace it with the word 'damn' and anywhere it doesn't make sense, edit it out. I eventually just stopped using the word 'very' altogether. 😂 I think my shit gets too wordy sometimes. I'm too pedantic and forget to trust that the reader will be able to put 2 and 2 together and understand intuitively what I'm trying to convey without having to explain every little detail.

Perfect example from above: understand intuitively...what's a verb that could replace that combo? Maybe just 'intuit'?

I know I have so many other weaknesses, but those are probably the biggest ones.

18. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I have written a teensy weensy bit of dialogue in Japanese (romaji), but that's it. I would write in kanji/kana, but then the majority of my readers wouldn't be able to read it.

19. what was the first fandom you wrote for?

Naruto!

20. what’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

😬 Oh man, I know this is such a cliche, but it's like trying to pick a favorite child. They're all my creations. There are different things I like about different fics. Jeez, if a gun was pointed to my head tho and I had to pick just one...probs Out of the Ether for Renji Abarai. It's been the least popular, which is a shame really, bc I feel like it's some of my best work. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm super curious to see what @simpforsadbois @bakubabes-hatake @bonbonthedragon would say?? Only if you want to, ofc.

20 [Fanfic Writer] Questions Game
