#[ also these things in the meme are canon divergent / they were just written to help show how Sophie thinks ]

[x-populuxe]

First-lines-of-fic meme! I was tagged by @destinationtoast. 😘

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

So...I have published ten fics total, and rather than posting the first lines of every single one of them, I’m going to mix this up and do my five most recent as well as my five current WIPs, because I have somehow become a person with five substantially written WIPs, I cry. (This is clearly an attempt at public accountability, help lol).

All fics are X-Men, of course, and unless otherwise marked, Charles/Erik:

Published!

1. “to put the world between us” (25K words, actor AU)

The drive should take two hours, but Erik manages it in ninety minutes, using his powers to floor the gas pedal as he scrambles the occasional police scanner. When he whips into the hotel parking lot in a spray of gravel, Emma’s mental greeting is half is half warm, half weary.

2. “Unlived Histories (The Double Vision Remix)” (18K words, remix, time travel)

Erik didn’t know it then, but everything started to change on Charles’s sixteenth birthday.

3. “Correspondence” (13K words, part of a canon-divergent series set in 1963)

When Charles wakes, he stretches out his mind and then his arm, groping at the opposite side of the bed. Erik isn’t there, though the sheets are still warm.

4. “What We Inherit” (20K words, David & Charles, father-son bonding)

David first starts to suspect that something’s up when his father gets a phone call very early on Tuesday morning.

5. “the way it travels in and keeps emitting light” (29K words, accident and recovery, enemies to friends to lovers)

Erik lets himself into Raven’s building on Friday evening, waving a hand as the locks click open. As he rides the converted freight elevator up to the top floor, he sinks his powers into all those sturdy old pulleys and gears—one thing on the long list of reasons he prefers Raven’s apartment to his own.

WIPs!

(obviously these are not set in stone)

1. The “Charles bailing Erik out of jail” fic I am currently writing for @ikeracity for Fandom Trumps Hate! (Ike you get a sneak peek lol) (ps I'm legit obsessed with writing this fic rn, thank you again for your prompt):

 “One phone call” is only a thing in the movies—but the cops don’t give you unlimited phone calls, either. This turns out to be a problem when all your friends were either arrested alongside you or are completely fucking worthless.

2. Multiverse/time travel fic that begins 8 months after the events of XMFC:

They’re moving quickly through the woods that surround the facility when Emma slows and makes a clicking sound with her tongue. Erik holds out his arms to halt the rest of the group.

3. Sequel to “What We Inherit,” still about David & Charles, but also with some (semi-hostile) cherik as well:

It’s a beautiful late-summer day, with a bright blue sky stretching above the sandy dunes that extend from the house out towards the Atlantic.

But David can’t see any of that right now, because he’s sitting in his bedroom, reading a book.

4. Media AU (trust me, this first line makes sense in context lol):

DAVID REMNICK: This is The New Yorker Radio Hour. I’m David Remnick.

5. Big Billions AU I started writing in early 2020 🥲 that I’ve finally picked up again this year:

Crowds, the common wisdom goes, are one of the truest tests of a telepath’s strength and skill. Never mind that there’s far more to telepathy than brute force and blunt shielding—with a packed train or a busy bar or a stadium full of revelers, it’s easier to see just how effectively a person can block out other minds.

This is a fun exercise, especially to look at patterns! Tagging @rozf, @gerec, @ikeracity, @midrashic, @joshriku, @arcanewinter, @jackyjango, + anyone else who wants to do this! (If anyone else wants to put their WIP opening lines out there, join me!!!!)

[jkrockin]

for the ask game:

🎨 🔍 💡 🧪 🚀 ✍️

also for extra bonus points, if you feel so inclined, i’d love to know🚦 (especially for canon era aus and canon-divergence scenarios, i’m wildly curious!)

Fic writer ask meme! LET’S GEAUX

🎨 If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

Fanart is always such a wild compliment, I’d feel pretty dickish asking for something specific unless I was actively commissioning someone! I’d love fanart of literally anything I’ve written, but probably especially my Terror fic, since, y’know, I feel like there’s nearly enough Steddie fanart out there to be getting on with.

🔍 Does anyone beta read or edit your fics?

Me, babey!! Every so often I think I should really try to get a beta, but I’m such a control freak and so picky about words— not to mention, I’m such a slow writer— that letting anyone else interfere with my stuff makes me anxious, so I figure I’d be a nightmare to beta for.

💡 How many WIPs do you currently have?

It’s actually not too dire right now! I maintain a spreadsheet to track my WIPs, which saves me much pain and heartache; I have ten things on my Terror tab, eight on my Stranger Things tab, two on Miscellaneous, and, of course, the “abandoned :)” tab, which currently has thirty-eight things on it, some of which were basically just bunnies that never went anywhere, some of which had actual words on. tl;dr twenty things in any kind of progress that I intend to try to finish someday.

🧪 Do you research for your fics?

It depends, but usually yes. Writing in time periods and places that are not familiar to me leads to lots of heavy use of Etymonline to work out when words were first used, a certain amount of time googling “history of sexual lubrication”, and sundry other research to check what I’m writing is chronologically and locally accurate to the best of my ability.

🚀 Do you like to outline your fic first or create as you go?

What I like best is when a whole idea just drops into my head fully-formed and I have the time and the means to write it down before I lose it. Not always what happens, but so nice when it does. I usually try to hash out a quick outline to work from, to help guide my hand a bit, but sometimes I do just rawdog it.

✍️ What’s your ideal writing setup?

At my desk in my comfortable supportive chair, mechanical keyboard (I favour brown switch), big cup of hot black tea with milk, moderate light, ambient electronica playlist, cat asleep on my bed.

🚦What sort of endings do you prefer to write: ambiguous, bad, happily ever after, etc.? (especially for canon era aus and canon-divergence scenarios, i’m wildly curious!)

I’m an incorrigible happy ever after bitch. I’ve dipped my toes into ambiguity but I just don’t have the stomach for sad. Someday I really should try to do a bad ending, just for the craft.

Sophie, Examine Aigis

Send “Examine!” and an item or person and I’ll write an RPG description of it/them. // not acpt.

@kimixnoxkioku

*You wonder how you’ve gotten this far into the conference since your eyes are getting heavier with each word being exchanged by greedy mouths of businessmen and woman akin. At the near center of the squared table, you have as much visual on everyone as they do on you – all older professionals and greed-devoured souls that she had known since she was thirteen. 

*Would this mean your 10-year-anniversary in being the business would be coming soon? No, it’s been a bit more than a decade since you were named heiress and pushed to work under your stepmother – actually, you’ve been doing all that work she was meant to do. -10 MOOD 

*Your hands are colder now, sweat building up at the base of your palms. Try wiping them down on your slacks while no one is looking. They weren’t looking, to begin with, and, you hope they weren’t. If they were looking at you, that’ll mean you would have to speak up and you can already tell that when you stand their eyes were everywhere but on your face. Those reasons you know to be.

*Your stomach knots. -10 MOOD

*Instead, you know it’s better to keep yourself distracted. So, why not reach out for your agenda? That’s something you can do for the fifth time this week – check and assess your schedule. It’s the only thing you know will keep your distracted.

*…Eh? There’s something flimsy yet delicate sticking from one of the pages as you slowly flip through the pages of the planner. It was located within the early section of June. This was for your photo album, no doubt. Martha and Lettie sort of ingrained that horrible habit to take as many photos as you can. But, it doesn’t bother you if you were taking photos of your family, it just mattered when you were the ugly little gray spot in view.

ITEM OBTAINED: A GENTLE PHOTO.

Female. 20. Blonde, blue eyes. She stood at my height, slimmer and fitter. A fairly young girl placed in a situation where I acted on impulse without considering what she wanted. It was that strange condiiton that led me to taking her on a “date”..and this photo.

Her name is Aigis and I was “Miss Hatter” that night, we went around the Pride event while I was suppose to be handling the faces of big businesses. Only the prismatic illumination from the hanging lanterns and fairy lights tied around booths were lighting them down that stroll. But, I swear there was pink radiating around her and the lights really complimented how really teal her eyes were.. She was pretty.

And her evening was wasted by someone like me.

We spoke for some time, learning bits of what we consider was appropriate. She’s a librarian and I’m a CEO. Sort of rare for someone to learn about about that side of me before they know me as the simple seamstress. Anytime I spoke, she was really attentive and couldn’t keep her eyes off of me - it was really strange. I mean, no, no, she isn’t strange – I’m strange, she was just being polite and listened to my ramblings. God, I’m an idiot. 

But, her? She really know what she had on her mind, she seemed so content on conversing and giving questions, even joining me in some booths. Though, I’m not oblivious; blame my own observations but it was clear that she didn’t know certain things socially. I only wonder what it means.. She has the utmost education if she was this far into school and had a knack of logic puzzles – she kept on looking at a rubix cube on a stand. 

Maybe that’s something I could get for her? Just as a small token of appreciation and a “sorry that you had to put up with this demure thing you call Sophie, here’s something to make up for it.” 

Though…It was nice spending the evening. Weirdly, we managed to get a photo and I wasn’t sure how I agreed to it, I usually would hide or kindly reject. But, here’s the proof, one smart woman with a lot in her future, and me, the plain one poking her head out who has nothing but disappointment and worthlessness. What else should I have expected?

…It was a nice night, though.

I wonder if I’ll see her again. 

+30 MOOD / 10 ????

Fanfic 2020 in Review

I got tagged by @kasienda @noirshitsuji and @marvelousmsmol and I am tagging whoever wants to play!

1) List of fics completed this year in the order they were finished:

*filters own works to complete and updated in 2020*

1 - 20 of 57 Works by AlexSeanchai

nope. *adds filter to include only works of at least 1000 words*

unless otherwise indicated, these are all Miraculous Ladybug:

“don’t bake it lying down”, post-reveal Marichat vs Felix Graham de Vanily

“veracity”, canon divergence from “Ladybug” featuring Mister Bug and Verity Queen (so also Marichat, I guess)

“(no request is too extreme, if) your heart is in your dream”, in which Hawkmoth wins, for the thirty seconds or so before Emilie saves Ladybug and Chat Noir’s lives

“tell me you love me and make me believe it”, in which trans girl Chatonne Noire ropes Ladybug into helping plan her civilian self’s escape slash social transition

“kingmaker, oathbreaker”, in which Hawkmoth wins and Emilie watches her son remove himself from the family

“stay and let me watch you break it down” (Twelve Dancing Princesses), a modern setting

“set a course for winds of fortune”, in which trans girl Chatonne Noire has already escaped and Gabriel and Nathalie are trying to bring Gabriel’s son home

“we ground love in a hopeless place”, in which post-reveal Marinette’s attempt to remain resolutely not in love with her partner dissolves like sugar in coffee when they start a pun war

“ring the bells that still can ring”, in which Alya is deeply confused about why Adrien and Marinette are planning a wedding when last night both were single

“burning wishes at both ends (the cold wind and long loud wail remix)”, in which Gabriel made a monkey’s paw wish and Emilie makes another

“words cannot espresso”, in which Marinette’s OC roommate is justifiably worried for Marinette’s safety, and meanwhile Adrien takes care of Marinette

“the compromise of truth” (the chronologically second-earliest part posted to date of nine lives, snake’s eyes), in which Adrien tells his friends how he won some freedom and respect from his father

“At The Present Time”, the Ladrien/Ladynoir marriage proposal follow-up to @art-deco-shrimp‘s  “Your Presents Required”

“j'ai rêvé (so I don't have to dream alone)”, in which the events of canon must just have been a series of dream sequences, Marinette and Adrien both think, until they both arrive at Chloe’s Halloween masquerade dressed as themselves from the dreams

2) Number of words written:

ahahaha no. I am not counting all my scattered fic drafts and trying to figure out what I did and didn’t write in 2020. I refuse.

AO3 says I posted 162K in 2020. it is counting all of keeps you guessing (like any real love), which (a) I started posting in 2019 (b) is co-written by @galahadwilder​; it is counting all of my meta snippets collection, much of which was written in 2019; it is counting the Vimeo passwords for my vids. but I probably cleared 150K by a safe margin.

3) Your most popular fic:

“veracity” has a four-digit kudos count, wow, when’d that happen? this is also the 2020 work with the most hits and the most bookmarks, but “tell me you love me” has four-thirds as many comments as its nearest competitor.

4) Your personal fav:

“cannot break us, not with a thousand swords”, no question about it. this is the one in which Ladybug proposes marriage to Chat Noir via Princess Bride meme on Tumblr. (if you intend to download the work or otherwise to consume it with creator style off, you want the accessible version instead of the primary version.)

5) Your fav scene:

aaaaaaaaa

—okay so this is cheating and I know it, since Uncertain Humors (the one where Marinette/Adrien is both Orpheus/Eurydice and Theseus/Ariadne) is nowhere near finished, never mind posted (maybe I'll get “Sanguine” done to post on my birthday?)

but it is still my favorite of the year. as you might guess from that description of the story, this scene has content notes for character death:

Hell is a maze. Marinette walks.

This acrid passage has little to see but damp stone, seeming blood-stained in the dim carmine light. At about the height of her heart, the faintly glowing thread cuts through the not-clammy air; it ought to be pulsing at the same rate as the heart it's bound to. She might be able to see her own reflection if she looked down at the open sewage pipe, or at one of the puddles that now and again she splashes through, dampening the canvas of her shoes. She might see reflected what's behind her.

She remembers Mme. Mendeleiev lecturing on human physiology. In healthy humans old enough to have learned how, urination is a voluntary action: one may not know which muscles one tenses and relaxes in order to do so, and probably isn't paying attention to those details when one is doing, but one has conscious control over whether one does. Usually. Stress and anxiety mean some people are unable to relax the relevant sphincter muscle and others are unable to stop themselves. It's voluntary for cats, too: it's one way they mark their territories. Cat-boys have other ways.

There is a moment in every human life when all one's muscles relax at once. Some Parisians have had several such moments.

The thread is braided with itself around her left fourth finger, rows of tiny red half-hitch knots, and falls loosely over the back of her hand to loop twice around her wrist. She holds it wrapped between the fingers of her right hand to keep it at a constant tension, as though knitting with this insubstantial thread, so fragile for something two (two dozen, two million) lives hang from—too thin to sew with, no thicker than one strand of his hair. As she walks, she winds it around and around and around her wrist.

Between her ring finger and her right hand, it loops twice.

Marinette's shoe lands in a puddle she didn't see. The rainwater splashes soundlessly onto her bare ankle and on the stone.

(With cat-like tread, upon our prey we steal— It's a very loud song.)

She walks on.

6) A fic or scene that challenged you:

where the firelight fades, no contest. this is the second story I’ve ever been able to stick with more than a couple hundred words past the 20K mark, but it’s easily the twentieth novel-length I’ve begun. (though also, you know that kedreeva post? well, 90K later, I’m less than 15K from completing this 10K fic! I think.) and I have been learning so much about long-form fiction.

there has also been a lot of weeping and tearing my hair. case in point: I just trashed the chapter 15 draft because I figured out the reason it wasn’t going anywhere! I can probably keep the first few hundred words of that draft without any editing, and another few hundred with some revision...

7) A line of writing you’re proud of:

from “j'ai rêvé (so I don't have to dream alone)”:

Everything about their partnership is fragments of sentences in the dream diary Adrien writes in ultraviolet pen. Disjointed flickers of thought even when examined under the black light he hides in the snack cabinet under packets of Super Yoyo sandwich cookies and bags of cheesy Monster Munch potato chips and boxes of petit écolier butter cookies (chocolat noir)—none of which explains the gym-socks smell. All fleeting incoherent flashes, invisible between the mundane lines of La Modification shelved at his bedside between Leroux and Dumas. None of it is solid. Adrien has more proof his room's haunted.

okay let me break this down for you!

* Adrien started a dream diary to make sense of the memories

* in invisible ink, in a book that (according to Wikipedia) is thematically appropriate and won’t (if Gabriel sees it) look like anything other than Adrien developing an interest in French literature

* shelved between Phantom of the Opera and The Three Musketeers

* look I didn’t come up with the name “black light”

* or “chocolat noir” for what English speakers call “dark chocolate”, or “petit écolier” (that is, “little schoolboy”) for that sort of butter cookie

* also not my fault that “chocolat noir” sounds remarkably like “Chat Noir”, which, attentive readers may have noticed, is not a name that appears in the story after the header and before Miraculous Cure

* I found the website of a store in Boston, Massachusetts that caters to French expats, and the yo-yo cookies and the monster chips were right there in the photos, y’all

* the snack stash and the black light live in the cabinet where, in canon, the Camembert lives; yes, that cheese smells in the real world like gym socks

* this story’s akuma was not able to affect anything but squishy human memory: nobody affected remembers anything about Ladybug or Chat Noir or Hawkmoth, not in any solid way, not even when they read news articles about the subject, and this includes Marinette and Adrien not being able to see or hear or remember their own kwamis—but you know what Adrien’s Insta post about his poltergeist and Adrien’s Insta post with the floating sock don’t show and don’t explicitly refer to?

* I love this paragraph so much (my housemates may have been lovingly mocking me over it)

8) A comment that touched you:

there are people (y’all know who you are) who said y’all are studying my style. I ded of blush.

9) Something that inspired your writing:

by volume of fic drafts that can be blamed on any particular person, the winner is probably @norakwami​

10) Your proudest accomplishment (that one scene; finally finishing that one fic; posting your first fic; etc):

so that longest-story-ever-written record I set in 2007 with the 89.5K story that, till where the firelight fades, was the only story I’d gotten much past 20K?

I broke that fucking record!

and then I deleted the draft of firelight chapter 15 😭

11) Do you have any writing goals for the next year?

I’m starting work on a fantasy novel, a Sleeping Beauty retelling in which I explore (among other things) the economic consequences of the king’s ordering all the spinning wheels burned, and I want to make significant progress on that. and I want to not make my hands any worse; I kind of need those!

(breaking news alert: bodies fucking suck. so does giving yourself repetitive stress injuries in doing one and a half to two people’s worth of work for an organization that was never ever going to pay you more than one person’s worth of pay.)

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Lady of Rivers and Storms [ASOIAF]: When Lysa miscarries Petyr's child before anyone learns of her pregnancy, her father negotiates a different marriage for her instead. Married to the second Baratheon son, will the future be any easier for either of them?

In the Middle (Before I Knew I Had Begun) [Suits]: It's an accident, when Mike touches Lyla. But everything follows from there. (Or maybe everything follows from the moment Rhi saw the golden tiger and all she could think was how beautiful she was.)

Skyfall Is Where We Start [ASOIAF]: 'At least Stannis won't laugh at Renly if the boy tries to follow him around when he's a bit older and takes a tumble on the flagstones. It's not much, not much at all, but perhaps it's enough to be going on with.'

Robert never loved his brothers, but this is not a story about Robert. This is about Stannis, and Renly, and glimpses of how they might have been different, had they let themselves love each other as brothers usually do.

Breakin’ Out the Institution [Suits]: “OK, so, before we start, a few things you should know about me. My name’s Mike Ross, not Rick Sorkin. I am a lawyer, I just didn’t go to Harvard. But you should hear me out anyway.”

Where Mike is actually a lawyer, a Brooklyn ADA looking for a change of pace, and gatecrashes Harvey's interviews entirely on purpose.

Lay Me Down (Pockets Full of Stones) [The Magicians]: The world spins, and Quentin doesn’t even feel his knees buckle, or how his head hits the wall on the way down. All he knows is the fall into the quiet dark.

In which Quentin survives the events of 4.13 by taking such bad care of himself he never actually makes it to the Mirror Realm. Also in which everyone loses him for a day, and Eliot is Not Happy about this.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yeah; I like getting responses to my comments so I do my best to reply to comments I get.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I had to go back to fanfiction.net for this because I never crossposted these to AO3, but Kiss My Eyes for The Tudors. It was Anne of Cleves/Cromwell, which was tragic mostly because it was historically compliant so a deathfic. Honorable mention, same fandom, was And In That Hour, Charles Brandon/Margaret Tudor and Charles Brandon/Henry VIII, unrequited love for the latter. 

Fun fact about the latter, it was the first m/m fic I ever wrote; the deal was I’d write a slash fic if one of my forum friends did a femslash one.

Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve ever written?

Ha. Hahahahahaha. So, back when I was 17-18 I was working on a verse titled A Moment To Be Real, and it was a crossover verse that, taking all the relevant fics into account, included Charmed, Primeval, the Whoniverse, and NCIS in major capacities. In more minor capacities, the plans for the verse also included Fringe, Supernatural, Stargate SG1/Atlantis, and Warehouse 13. Oh, and there were two main timelines and two minor ones the stories spent time in. Heh. Yeah, that was a thing, yes it was way too big a project and I didn’t finish it, but I truly think that working to juggle all that was very helpful to my later work. 

I don’t write a lot of major crossovers anymore, but I tend to just... live in the idea that certain canons can feasibly coexist so when I can do little crossover cameos I like to do them. One recent exception is return to the sunlit lands, which is a Magicians/Narnia crossover.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not recently; a long time ago back on ff.net, I left a comment that was misunderstood as hate (I said something was bad, meaning the characters’ situation, but the author thought I meant her writing) and the author of that fic responded in kind. Once I clarified, they were nicer in a subsequent review. I’ve been very lucky in that regard; I’ve had friends who have had to deal with a lot of drama in that sense.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I didn’t for a long time, but recently I’ve begun to! So far, it’s been m/m and f/f, though there was an intentionally-vague m/m/f scene and I’m... currently avoiding writing a more detailed one because I’m nervous as hell about it, lol.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge. 

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, actually! Two of my older ASOIAF fics, All the Traveled Roads and I Will Not Fall, I Will Not Break have translations, which is just really neat to me.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

About ten years ago I was working on a joint project about modern day Tudors; never did get posted, alas. I’m not sure I’d be very well suited to co-writing a single story; co-writing a verse where different authors do different stories might work, though.

What’s your all time favorite ship?

God, I have no idea, but I still and always have strong feelings about Sam/Jack from Stargate SG1, so let’s go with that for longevity?

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

A Moment To Be Real, actually; it’s not so much that I want to finish it as that I know I won’t and I regret it. I have another verse that I probably won’t finish but one of these days I’ll at least post an outline of where I saw it going so that there will be some degree of closure. Pretty much every other fic has at least a faint chance I might go back to it, or I genuinely don’t want to.

What are your writing strengths?

Worldbuilding and handling the moving pieces of a canon divergent AU. I’ve also been told I’m pretty good with ensembles.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Action scenes, which is unfortunate when I find myself definitely needing to write a battle, and I suspect is part of my smut hang-ups too.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I have done it occasionally, but honestly I feel it’s usually easier to italicize English dialogue and put the other language in the narration - I think it’s probably easier to read, too.

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Stargate SG1

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I couldn’t possibly pick one, really.

Creator Tag Game

@kaythewarlock here! Thought I’d do this on this account instead as my other is a little inactive! Thank you to the wonderful @giorgiaink for the tag! <3

RULES: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works <3 (If you would like to join in, just go for it, I don’t know who to tag cos I’m awkward)

I think my favourite fic that i have written this year, has to be Let Me Help You. A canon divergent, Blindspot fic set at the beginning of 5x09. Summery: “Patterson turns up at Boston’s apartment after faking her death but Boston quickly realises she didn’t get out of the bunker unharmed.” Rich/Boston/Patterson became my favourite ship out of any show this year. Their relationship is just so special and I wish we had gotten to see more of them together.  

MASSIVE CR SPOILER ALERT FOR THIS NEXT ONE!! After we found out that Molly, or should I say Lucien, was alive, I knew I had to make some art. I had drawn Mollymauk multiple times over the couple of years that he has been dead that i had to do so again now as he is back and seemingly evil. Check it out here over on my instagram! 

Next up, some more dotcrabson because thats all thats been on my mind this year! This was only posted a few days ago but I just can’t get enough of this ship. I used one of those drawing meme things that pop up on here every couple weeks. But i think what got me even more excited about this piece was Josh liking and commenting on it last night!! It’s just a little doodle of the boys giving their wife kisses but I am so happy with it and thought it was cute! Check it out here on my instagram!

I also made an edit for the first time this year! Once again, it was Blindspot. I used one of my favourite songs and my favourite characters. Once again, it is over on my instagram!

Finally, Like A Good Looking Modern Family. Summery: “Rich and Boston decide to talk to Patterson about how they feel. Set before the time jump in 5x11.” I wrote this pretty soon after the finale and finding out that the three were canonically married. 

This year has not been easy on any of us but the Blindspot and Critical Role fandoms have gotten me through it. Both feel like such happy families and I’m so happy to be a part of both. As I said above, Dotcrabson has not only brought me so much joy but has honestly helped me discover things about myself through research for fics and things like that and I am so grateful that this ship exists and is canon. I shall be writing and drawing more in the future, and maybe even for some other shows (I have already started a fic about The Listener!). 

Have a safe and healthy new year, see y’all in the next one <3

[hell-heron]

Babe! I know it's been like....a while since you posted that director's cut meme, but since I'm only now getting to reblogging it, can I ask you to talk about No Love, No Glory, pls? :)

Sigh... I am always happy to unfortunately. Here is the unfortunate piece of writing in question!

So, this was written for you for LBD and the process for picking out the ship was pretty much "can't possibly do Throbb" performance anxiety, but I have to say now I really enjoy Tris/Theon as a ship. This all started with a lot of logistical triangulations and reading the tea leaves to figure out whether Tris could be one of the three unspecified Botley sent to the stony shore with him before deciding that fuck that, canon divergence it is.

I think it works a lot better with him having been sent there by Asha bc now there's this sort of parallel between Theon's relationship with Robb, and the fact he's kinda ambiguous if Asha sent Tris to Winterfell as a loyal reliable guy she trusts to save her brother, or just to get rid of the pining nuisance. But at the same time Tris is not perturbed by the power dynamics and accepts them and that's super infuriating to Theon. They have this dynamic of childhood-friends-but-not-all-that-close to bickering to lovers which is hellish to him because Tris is sort of a reminder of his life on the Islands as a child that it's just been made clear to him he can't go back to. And there's also an element of it being infuriating that he's... kind of a foil to what he remembers and sees of the Islands, since he remembers him as a nice boy and Good Big Brother from a more functional and openminded family (not that most ironborn families aren't, compared to the Greyjoys) and now he's still loyal, nice, and most outrageously he's arguably softer than Theon but doesn't get a comparable shunning because people are used to him. So he's kind of a reminder of how things could have gone differently but also of how he could have done things differently, and on the top of everything he's hot and calls him "prince Theon" without needing to be forced at knifepoint and it's a very intoxicating combination lol.

Regarding the Botley family headcanons I always felt that Sargon and Lucimore were salt sons or it would feel weird to emphasize that they're Sawane's half-brothers when they're all barely mentioned characters. Likely old Maron Botley is as well since neither he nor none of his grown kids have their own ship - this paired with Tris having 5 siblings makes me think the Botleys are just a really horny family, which is definitely helpful here lol. I hate to think people would be assholes to Wex but the fact they didn't bother to teach him to read and write makes it likely, and I like the idea of Tris being very fond of his little bastard cousin. Tris' mom being a Farwynd is functional to the fact I think the existence of Ironborn wargs is cool as hell, I also later considered she might be a mainland bride from Quellon's scheming era given that many of the kids have Riverlands names, but my alternative route of making her a Frey for comedy didn't work out bc the family tree is so well documented so it just wasn't worth it.

The title comes from Happy ending by Mika because I breathe and drink cringe

Fic Writer Interview

Thank you for the tag @deacons-wig!! :)

Tagging in turn: @pchberrytea, @diredigression, @gingerbreton, @tanaleth, @valkyriejack if you’d like! No pressure if you don’t! Name: Megh

Fandoms: I really only write for Fallout, but casually partake in other fandoms (like Crit Role, Mass Effect, DA). 

Where you post: AO3, which you can find right here. I don’t post full fics on Tumblr, but do include links to them on AO3. Any WIP memes like WIP Wednesday or similar deals are posted on my Tumblr. 

Most Popular One-shot: No Rest For the Wicked - a sort of pining thing about Deacon showing up to MacCready and Natasha’s place after the fall of the Institute and some sleepy encounters putting Deacon in close proximity with the pair he’s maybe sort of secretly in like with. Overtures of future polyamory and all that. Your gateway drug into my favorite OT3.

Most Popular Multichap: Bring the Gasoline - my multichapter, in-progress slow-burn MacCready x Sole Survivor fic. Here’s a summary for you:

“Six months, huh? How much fast talking did you do to get here?” “Enough to keep me alive.”

“Really? Cause you don’t act like that’s your goal half the time. Hell, you throw yourself at everything like you’re jumping off a cliff.”

Sole survivor Natasha Sokolova is burning through friends faster than she can make them. Robert Joseph MacCready needs all the caps he can get. Problem is, the smooth-talking woman with a pistol and a job offer turns out to be more trouble than he’s counting on. They’re a match made in hell, but their little partnership might be the only thing that can see them through it.

Favorite story you’ve written so far: Bring the Gasoline is my baby, but so far I think I’ve had the most fun writing No Rest for the Wicked. It was the first thing I posted, nobody really knew I was working on it, and there were zero expectations about it. It was something I wrote purely because I wanted to and no other reason. It was also a huge sigh of relief for me to even hint at what the endgame of Bring the Gasoline is like because I’d been hermit drafting for a year while keeping my trap shut about most of what happens.

Fic you were nervous to post: All of them, every single one.  I was a bit nervous about In the Name of Love because it’s sort of an awkward situation. My goal was to balance the awkwardness with tenderness and show a sort of realistic moment where the OT3 have a little hiccup getting used to each other, but they’re helping each other through it. Not everybody’s cup of tea, but I do like how it turned out.

I was also super nervous about We Never Go Anywhere Nice because I’ve never done a gift fic before, and I was kind of trying to do a lot within one oneshot. Naturally, it turned out to be far longer than I initially envisioned, but I’m happy I tried my hand at it.

How do you choose your titles: Whatever strikes me. I try to do something thematic. For my BtG chapter titles, I try to play to themes or something a character says that sort of embodies the idea of that chapter. For my one shots, I’m okay going a little cheesier. 

Do you outline: Yes, I do, but I’m sort of ass backwards about it. I have three different outlines going on within each other like some sort of 3D chess operation. I have a pre-outline, which is the outline before I draft the chapter, usually broad or tentative plans with some specifics but not a ton. Then I have my working copy, which is literally in brackets within the document I’m typing the chapter in, and then I delete it out as I progress pass those plot points. And then, when I’m doing revisions, I bullet point every single little detail into a document called “Actual Outline”. I do this specifically in between drafts as a way for me to find plot holes and fill gaps, or see where things maybe need to be changed. Sounds a little backwards, I know, but it has really, really helped my editing process. There’s color-coding for who’s POV it is, and a scene-by-scene breakdown.

Complete: I have two complete one shots, and a third completed three-chapter “one shot”. But, the series those are nested in is ongoing and has no definitive end. It’s just sort of as I feel like it right now.

In progress: Bring the Gasoline is the only major fic I have in progress. I do one shots as they sprout in my brain, but I don’t have any in progress right now. My main focus is getting edited ahead one chapter on BtG so posting comes a little easier in the future.

Coming soon/not yet started: BtG chapter five is about halfway through a new draft, though I’ll want a new draft of chapter six before posting it. I’m making steady headway there. I have a very smutty WIP in mind for the OT3 with a special focus on Nat/Deacon. The prompt is that the two of them are spending a weekend away together, but MacCready has left some specific instructions as to how he wants them to spend some of that time. Like I said, it’s smutty, but I also want it to be sort of emotionally smutty. I wanted to write the OT3s first time together before writing any other smutty one shots for them, but realistically, I need to finish BtG before that could really happen, because spoilers, so it’s this domino effect waiting game. Which...makes me want to just go ahead and write the smutty one shot anyway. So, maybe. We’ll see. 👀 I also have another idea (also smutty) that might be a one-shot or a scene in a future fic. Basically, Nat and Mac and trying to have some intimacy but Deacon is staying with them which makes things tricky. So they seize the opportunity when he’s stepped out for a sec...but, maybe he’s not gone so long as they were thinking.

Prompts?: I sometimes use prompts as a springboard of inspiration, but I’ve found I’m no good with requests. I have a hard time writing something that I’m not personally excited about.

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: I am really excited about the Gunners plotline for Bring the Gasoline. It’s my first real foray into canon divergence, and the arc I finished for NaNoWriMo last year, so it’s sort of near and dear to me. And it’s right around the corner - not so far as readers might think!  👀 

This is so, so far away, but I also have tentative plans that are starting to have some framework for a multi-chapter fic on how the OT3 get together after Bring the Gasoline. I have a secret wish that this could be my NaNo project next year, but that would involve getting a lot done with BtG, so we’ll see.

3, 10, 24!

  slasher ask meme! || status: accepting!

   thank you @oceansinmychest !! ♡

   3. who is your favourite final girl?

    answered here!

   10. most underrated slasher movie in your opinion?

   i think jeepers creepers gets overlooked a lot because of who the director is (here’s some information on it for those who don’t know; major tw for p*dophilia & CSA, there’s some heavy shit in this thread so please proceed with caution if you click on it), which i do understand. you don’t want to financially support a piece of subhuman feces, and you shouldn’t! but jeepers creepers 1 & 2 were released almost 20 years ago, so there are a lot of resources online that allow you to watch them for free; he won’t get a dime from it. though i’m cautious of some of the subtext in these films for obvious reasons, there were a lot of good put into them completely unrelated to the director. i’ll list them in bullet points below.

the creeper’s design is fucking awesome. even better is that he wasn’t just randomly thrown together to look scary - his appearance actually makes sense from a biological standpoint! my friend @antlercrack is a good person to talk to about that; he loves the character as much as i do and has done a bunch of analysis on him.

speaking of gay shit, the first two movies are full of it. here are three very good articles on the subject.

the first two films are almost completely devoid of heterosexual romance. JC1 revolves around the relationship between two siblings and the sequel revolves around a fairly diverse group of students trying to survive the night. the only real het relationship is a toxic one featured in JC2 and we are not meant to like the guy.

continuing off of my previous point, jeepers creepers 2 addresses issues like racism & homophobia in a very real way. even better: the racist homophobic jock gets the axe & all the POC & gay-coded characters survive!

the male lead in JC1 is heavily implied to be gay & the female lead’s sexuality is never revealed. it’s mentioned she had a recent boyfriend, but the relationship did not go well.

speaking of the characters - you actually give a shit about most of them & they have endearing personalities, especially the jenner siblings! you don’t want to see anything happen to them!!!

the women are not reduced to their bodies!!! they all stand out from each other!!!

the creeper himself does not speak, but he’s still full of personality! see this clip as one of my favourite examples. wish he got some more love from horror fans!

the crew put 110% into those special effects & they still hold up really well!

the score of the first two films are fucking incredible & thrilling and you can listen to them both on spotify!

there are comics available to read online that explain the creeper’s origins! they gave his character a lot more nuance... and they’re explicitly gay! he is gay!!!

just skip the third one btw it’s. not worth your time. we don’t talk about JC3 in this house

   24. shout out some creators in the slasher fandom that you love!

   sure thing!

@antlercrack: my best friend of nearly 3 years, frequent fanfic collaborator & rp buddy! obsessed with his art, cosplay & character analysis. also, his jokes have me fucking crying on at least a weekly basis.

@teensiest: super cute fanart & awesome makeup cosplays! it’s extremely uncanny how many common interests teensie & i share!

@rulerofpurple: has great takes on various pieces of horror media, tons of cool OCs & a brand new au rewriting the origins of billy & agnes from black christmas!

@masks-n-steel: absolutely in love with their jason design. so cute and full of personality!

@guljerry: has written some incredible fanfiction on freddy, jason & the sawyer family! possesses a grasp on these characters that i admire a lot!

@rotten-carcass: has a really nice, colourful art style & has drawn a number of my faves!

@stinkyfishystinky: super lively, fluid, distinctive art style! includes a ton of different body types in their work with a variety of different characters, including ones who don’t get the spotlight very often! also, their freddy is fucking adorable & one of my favourites in the fandom.

@psyducktheterrible: has come up with some insanely cool freddy concepts & has a ton of passion for his character!

@the-thot-clown: has drawn pretty much every horror character you can think of and always manages to capture their respective vibes & personalities perfectly. their blog features tons of different m/m and f/f ships, which i appreciate!

@45lampkinln: a+++ content. amazing art, amazing hcs and tons of cool canon divergence. absolutely wonderful world-building. i give this blog a lot of credit for helping me get back into slashers at the beginning of the year. it’s always a joy to see them active!

@kinrypu: their art style is just... chef’s kiss. i have a weakness for their drawings of robert englund especially!

[modestmuses-a]

the positive & negative :    mun & muse  /  fill out & repost .

EKKO

MY MUSE IS :    canon  /  oc  /  au  /  slightly canon - divergent / fandomless / complicated 

i try to stay mostly close to ekko’s canon but i also have a fuckton of aus for him including some real self-indulgent bullshit that isn’t even on his verses page. if you want me to make a new au for ekko to fit him into a different skin line or something, i’ll probably do it tbh.

IS YOUR CHARACTER POPULAR IN THE FANDOM ?    YES  /  NO / I DON’T KNOW 

IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED HOT™ IN THE FANDOM ?  YES /  NO  /  IDK

for better or worse. when “giants” first came out, i had more ekko smut on my dash than i ever cared to see.

IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED STRONG IN THE FANDOM ? YES  /  NO  /  IDK

i can tell you what i think of ekko’s strength, and i can tell you that... it isn’t much. he’s not the most adept fighter in the series, and most of the time, he wins fights by cheesing them with time travel. in my thread with @uncaged-bloodhunter​ ekko would be DEAD four times over by now if not for the zero drive.

however, i haven’t seen much fandom opinion about his strength? i’m going to go out on a limb and say most people probably don’t find him very strong bc? i don’t see a lot of people saying that but. who knows.

ARE THEY UNDERRATED ?   YES  /  NO  /  IDK

canon-wise, fandom-wise, and on this blog, ekko gets a lot of attention, which i’m not complaining about. he’s a fav.

WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN STORY ? YES  /  NO  /  IDK

he is important around zaun, but considering he won’t LEAVE that place, i doubt we’ll see him achieve much relevance in the bigger overarching conflicts in the league universe anytime soon.

WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER ? YES /  NO  /  IDK

if league did have a main character, i’m sure he would never meet them unless they were from piltover or zaun lol

ARE THEY WIDELY KNOWN IN THEIR WORLD ?   YES  /  NO  /  IDK

around piltover/zaun, all the academics are trying to get him to sit down with them, but overall? nah. if he went anywhere other than piltover or zaun, they would have no fucking idea who he was.

HOW’S THEIR REPUTATION ?    GOOD  /  BAD  /  NEUTRAL

pilties HATE him! click to find out why!

no, but in seriousness, around zaun, his reputation is quite good as one of the few decent souls in the city. but in piltover, he’s just another thuggish troublemaker on a spree of petty crimes, as if zaun doesn’t already have enough of those...

HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON ?

shrugs. i don’t actively think about adhering to canon with every thread i write, of course, but i do think i have a pretty good handle on his character so.

SELL YOUR MUSE !( try to list everything that makes your muse interesting to make them spicy for your mutuals ) 

he is a nice sweet boy who WILL adopt every single child and will go out of his way to help those in need. he also has plenty of spunk and a real get-up-and-go kind of personality, he’s not the kind of person who likes just “hanging around” so he’s a perfect companion for someone who likes to get out and adventure as long as you don’t go outside of piltover/zaun. he’s very loyal and will stick up for his friends, even when it would be more convenient to sell them out. and of course, he’s willing to call authority figures out on their bullshit and doesn’t sit back and passively watch injustices happen.

NOW THE OPPOSITE !(  list everything why your muse could not be so interesting . even if you may not agree. what does the fandom perhaps think ?  )

he’s got abandonment issues up to HERE, and because of that, he is c l i n g y. if he gets attached to you in any way, he will NOT let you go. he will NOT get over you. he will probably keep trying to worm his way back into your life for months or YEARS because he just doesn’t know how to deal with being left.

furthermore, he represses every negative emotion he has ever felt because he feels like his problems are trivial compared to other people’s so he bottles that shit right on up like cheap cough-syrup-tastin’ whiskey. he holds onto a LOT of resentment - at piltover, at the chembarons, at himself, at the world - and because he doesn’t allow himself to DO anything with said resentment, he’s a ticking time bomb (pun fully intended). i do have... timelines... where all that internalized hostility blows up in a really messy way. and by messy, i mean bloody.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE ? 

around the time i first started getting into league, a bitch was going through it. we were pretty destitute and received an eviction notice, and i had to work my ass off to keep us from losing our apartment. it was a very depressing time for everyone involved. but then i found ekko, this boy who had even less than i did but made the most of it, who always found some way to make the day better. writing him became very cathartic for me because it allowed me to take something positive away from what was one of the worst years of my life.

WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING ? 

punk rock music, haha! especially that of billy talent. their whole dead silence album is pretty ekko, but they have a lot of bangers that remind me of him scattered across all their albums. we deserved punk rock ekko and instead we got fucking true damage because riot didn’t wanna get political, i guess. smh.

some more personal questions for the mun . give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters , which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not .

DO YOU THINK YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER JUSTICE ?   YES  /  NO  /  IDK                      

DO YOU FREQUENTLY WRITE HEADCANONS ? YES /  NO  /  IDK

i kind of only address headcanons as they come up. very occasionally i will drop a few for a new muse just so that people get a better feel for who they are before writing them but... yeah written headcanons are pretty few and far between here. it’s really not even worth me having a headcanon banner lmao

DO YOU SOMETIMES WRITE DRABBLES ?    YES  /  NO  /  IDK

i would like to, but writing my replies here kind of sucks up most of my time!

DO YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT YOUR MUSE DURING THE DAY ? YES /  NO  /  IDK

ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR PORTRAYAL ? YES  /  NO  /  IDK

too confident some might say, but those people would be silly fools

ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR WRITING ?   YES  /  NO  /  IDK  

ARE YOU A SENSITIVE PERSON ?   YES /  NO  /  IDK

sometimes i get anxiety about stupid shit but i try and often fail to be secure

DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL ?

nope, i ain’t changing a thing. i’m the best ekko on this site, and you are free to disagree with that because everyone is entitled to their wrong opinion, but my askbox is closed to those kinds of complaints. :)

DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS , WHICH HELP YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER ?

yeah, sure, although i understand why people don’t send them because i often draw blanks on what to send without somebody reblogging a headcanon meme or something. if you just reblog “send my character questions on anon!” i’m probably not gonna do it bc i have no idea what kinds of questions would even be relevant or helpful for you.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS , DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY

nah, everyone can do what they want. i usually won’t follow people if i don’t agree with their headcanons, but i’m not about to get all up in somebody’s business about it.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL , HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT ?

again, wrong opinion, but you’re allowed to have it and you’re also allowed to SMASH that unfollow button.

IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER , HOW DO YOU TAKE IT ?

who hates ekko of all people, first of all? but second of all, i don’t care. just don’t get in my dms about it ‘cause i’ll block you. i’m not really interested in somebody bashing one of my muses to my face.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS ?

shrugs. yeah, i guess. i usually leave other people’s grammatical errors alone as long as i can read their stuff.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN ?

yeah i think so. i try to be, anyway. i like to make ooc friendships bc i find it way more satisfying and easy to write with friends. although i sound a little bitchy in parts of this, it’s mostly jokes for exaggeration effects.

[t100ficrecsblog]

an interview with @queentheea  (she/her)

what are you working on right now? I’m currently keeping my DM’s etc open for fics for the Bellarke for BLM initiative which is an absolutely wonderful cause with a bunch of amazing writers on board! I’d encourage anyone with a little extra money who has been thinking about getting a prompt written by one of the amazing people in this fandom to submit to this cause!

what’s something you’d like to write one day? Man, I just put out a post on tumblr seeing if anyone would be interested in reading a World Traveller!Clarke and Local! Bellamy fic that I can’t stop thinking about, I’m hoping to write that this summer! It would definitely be the longest work that I’ve ever written so I’m still trying to find the energy to actually sit down and commit to it because I’d want to do the idea justice

what is the fanwork you’re most proud of?  Hmm, I’m just getting back into writing fic and I don’t think I can really be proud of something I wrote when I was a teenager, so I’d probably have to say I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, which is a Bellarke modern AU ex’s fic that I wrote for Bellarke Bingo. The title comes from Jon Bellion’s song Woke the F*ck Up, which is amazing if you’ve never heard it. I’ve been thinking about extending that one for a while now since (spoiler) the ending was left so open, so if anyone wanted to request a part 2 for Bellarke for BLM I’d be more than willing hehe.

why did you first start writing fic?  It’s been so long now I can’t quite remember, but I probably started writing fic because the shows I was watching at the time ended/were cancelled and the endings were unsatisfactory for me. I’ve honestly deleted pretty much all of my early fics because I was 14 when I started writing them and they were embarrassingly bad.

what frustrates you most about fic writing?  Probably the feeling that everything has been done before. It’s honestly my biggest frustration with writing in general. I feel like I don’t have unique enough ideas, and everything has been done at this point. Unless I’m hit with a brilliant idea at random, I really rely on prompts to actually be able to write something in order to make sure I’m actually writing something people want to read, if that makes sense? 

what are your top five songs right now?  This is a really hard question because I LOVE music and I’m always listening to it and every song is my favourite song, but my faves right now are probably Cool by Dua Lipa, 3 AM by HAIM, Park Bench by Valley and Spinning by Mark Ronson and Ilsey (which I’ve been trying to tell everyone is a GREAT Bellarke song, so check it out).

what are your inspirations? RE: the above question, I love music so it’s definitely a huge influence when it comes to fic writing. I don’t necessarily put in a specific playlist but I’ll listen to whatever I’m loving in the moment and if there’s something in the lyrical content, etc. of the music I’m listening to at that moment in time I’ll definitely let it inspire my writing. I definitely want to push myself to incorporate more themes in the songs that “speak to me” so to say in my writing.

what first attracted you to Bellarke? I mean at first I saw them both on my tumblr dash in passing and the bisexual in me thought “that is a good looking pair. Must watch show”, but it wasn’t until a friend and I watched the show a while later that I actually was like huh. There’s something with these two. To be fair, like I’m sure most, I didn’t really like Bellamy at first because it was season one and he was a dick, but I grew to love their relationship as it developed through to mid-season 2 (which was airing when I first started watching the show) and was pretty much a goner after that. 

what attracts you now?  Man, I love everything about their dynamic now. The open trust, the ability to be two sides of the same coin despite the distance. I didn’t realize this was an unpopular opinion until recently but I actually loved season 6. Bellamy was the ONLY one to pick up on the fact that Clarke wasn’t Clarke, despite having known her just as long as the others, despite Madi having spent those 6 years with her. The idea of having a person that knows you on that deep of a level and actually cares enough to pay attention to the small details is so attractive to me and just *chef’s kiss.

Besides Bellarke, what character or pairing do you like best on t100?  I loved Linctavia (and just Lincoln in general, RIP), Memori, Marper. Anyone Miller has been shipped with. Murven (Raven is hands down the show’s most shippable character). I really liked her and Wick even though they had super short lived development because his actor ended up being a douche oops.

why did you decide to start writing for bellarkefic-for-blm?  Honestly, just because it’s such a great reason to write fic and I felt like I wasn’t doing enough to support the movement. People are so fake on social media these days. Everyone shares that post to their story and doesn’t actually follow through with actions that cause lasting impact and I really didn’t want BLM to be a passing trend and I wanted to do what I could to help behind the scenes without being a performative activist.

what’s your writing process like (esp for prompts, chopped!, etc)?My writing process is a little all over the place honestly. Sometimes I can bang something out in a couple of hours, sometimes it takes days to figure out where I want to take something. There’s a meme or something going around about writers having the beginning and the ending of their fics all planned out but the middle isn’t even a spec in the universe and that’s honestly so true for me. I know how I want to start something and I know where I want to take it but I never know what to put in the inbetween. I love prompts that are more specific because it helps me fill in that middle piece! 

what are some things you’d like to recommend? Mentioned this above, but definitely listen to Spinning by Mark Ronson and Ilsey! Fic wise, the first recommendation that comes to mind is Bury a Friend, Try to Wake Up by @talistheintrovert / theinvisibledisaster on AO3 because it’s one of my fave fics I’ve read in a while and the first one to come to mind hehe. Season 6 AU for all of you canon divergence fans.

The best place to find @queentheea is right here on Tumblr. You can also find her on AO3 here. Request a fic written by her via @bellarkefic-for-blm.

Writing meta asks: 4, 7, 9? :D

thank you :D 

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

since it’s you ... let’s go with: 

“You are quite perfect, Mistress – Miss Fairfax,” K-9 said.

“No,” Romana said. “Absolutely not.”

that shit cracks me up 😂

7. What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?

this is a hard question - how are you supposed to know whether others would agree? come on meme. 

stylistically - 

i think the characteristics of my writing are...... an attention to the way that people sound, and the rhythm of both prose and dialogue. i like to use dialogue tags to help with that rhythm. (not just - i put in quite a few dialogue tags, but also - i put them in sentences to break up the rhythm). jokes? lost of use of power of three... 

not much description, all in all quite stripped back in general, without going anywhere near modernism.  

characteristics in terms of what i usually write about - 

enemies to lovers where they respect and like each other enormously, power dynamics, lots of get togethers, canonverse - particularly canon-divergence, things that aren’t sex but are written as sex, some sex.

idk.

9. Are you more of a drabble or a longfic kind of writer? Pantser or plotter? Do you wish you were the other?

i’m definitely more of a longfic writer, particularly now. i have been known to drabble in the past. 

as for the other part of this question - somewhere between the two. i need to know where i’m going to, and i think about stuff around the actual writing - but also, i dont think i can actually come up with stories without trying to write them down. in part, the process of writing helps me. 

i guess i wish i could write some shorter things! not as short as drabbles, but a few thousand words - and have that just sing, exactly right. 

i dont wish i was more of a plotter - i wish i had more plots. but i dont want to think things out in more detail than i already do. i think that’d just take away even more of my time from writing!

thank you lis @xingiu for the tag! this is pick your favorite fanfic tropes 

1. slow burn or love at first sight / i immensely enjoy both but when done well i find love at first sight to be incredibly entertaining. it can be a bit corny and unrealistic obv but i like seeing ppl who fall head over heels for each other and prematurely enter a relationship, only to have to learn how to actually navigate it afterward 

2. fake dating or secret dating / i don’t particularly care for either 

3. enemies to lovers or best childhood friends to lovers / i'm a diehard edwin fan therefore this is the only conceivable answer. not to say that i don’t love enemies to lovers bc in its best iterations i definitely do, but the latter calls to me more esp bc there is so much you recognize and understand about a person you’ve known since you were children 

4. there’s only one bed or long distance correspondence / it’s about the angst of separation and going your respective ways bc each of you has your own goals or part to play in the greater landscape of the world! love it love it 

5. hurt/comfort or amnesia / i don’t think these are rly comparable tbh and both pack their punches really well. i am amnesia trope lover obv as someone who has extensively read through nearly the entire clamp catalogue and i am a hurt/comfort lover bc it’s literally the only thing i am capable of writing myself. (also here is one of the best amnesia trope fics absolutely ever, to bnha fans) 

7. mutual pining or domestic bliss / from a strictly fanfic perspective domestic bliss is just not something i am interested in or think about much like i have even tried to think about domestic things with characters i like and inevitably it always turns into angst, so 

8. smut or fluff / this is only bc fluff tends to severely annoy me with it’s mischaracterizations, and that’s not to say that smut can’t be totally ooc either but usually the good stuff is written well and with a pointed purpose that i can appreciate 

9. canon compliant or canon divergence / i am a naruto fan 

10. reincarnation or major character death / i don’t actually read a lot of fics with this trope but it’s something i think about regularly when i write meta so it’s kind of the same thing. reincarnation mostly feels like a copout to me with the only exception being clamp’s brand of it because it’s not just a throwaway thing done at the end of the story and is actually an extensive plot device 

12. kid fic or pregnancy / neither due to similar reasoning for domestic bliss 

13. arranged marriage or accidental marriage / it’s about the aaaaaangst. i only think people of color should be allowed to write about these things tho 

14. high school romances or aged-up romances / ig? i don’t really read a lot for fandoms where high school romances would come up. i like focusing on that college period instead usually esp if it’s about like how people drift apart after high school but coincidentally cross paths years later. good angsty stuff 

15. time travel or isolated together / idc about either 

16. neighbors or roommates / i like these in books but in fanfic idc 

17. sci-fi au or magic au / i don’t like reading aus in fanfic 

18. angst or crack / amy made a meme for me that said writing about characters’ trauma 24/7 on twitter is not therapy get help. so i think that explains this one quite aptly 

19. apocalyptic or mundane / [pulls up several tweets where i talk about the worth in stories about normal people doing everyday things and still suffering bc ultimately they’re human and have a capacity to hurt and be hurt] 

20. linear storyline or nonlinear storyline / either is fine and depends more on the mastery of the writer than the use of the trope itself 

21. holiday fic or birthday fic / these are just lukewarm aus so idc about these either 

22. love triangle or miscommunication / since this is talking about fanfic i’m going to say neither bc it’s honestly not something i look for at all. but i am a staunch advocate for love triangles and miscommunication in published media bc when used well they’re exquisite. unfortunately a lot of mainstream media does not use them well so it’s lead to complaints over the years but i have good taste and don’t suffer from that problem. amen 

i’m not going to tag anyone bc i honestly do not have a lot of mutuals i actually talk to on here gjdfkhjldgf but feel free to do it anyway!

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is:   canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO. ( Within the community my muse is? Fairly popular? But overall in the fandom a lot of people dislike him. )

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK.

Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK.

Are they underrated?  YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO. ( Apart from giving two surviving characters scars, he has no real impact on the story ).

Were they relevant for the main character?  YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.

Are they widely known in their world?  YES / NO.

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL.

How strictly do you follow canon?  — I’d say pretty closely, in the sense that I don’t erase any parts of his canon, and I try to analyze and ‘ make sense ‘ of the different things he does in canon. There are some parts of his canon that have been re-written though. Like his relationship with Grimmjow, thanks to their chemistry. Oh, yeah, and Nnoitra is also alive in my canon. But other than that I try to keep him as canon as possible. 

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  —  Oh gosh where to start... Nnoitra is a very deep character. He is typically disliked by those who only see his exterior, but there is so much more to him. He is brave beyond compare. He is not the typical ‘ pretty-boy-sassy-villain ‘. He is harsh, rude, violent, sadistic and carries a heavy sadness inside him. He has strong believes and won’t back down from anything. Ever. He is someone who doesn’t hold back his true self and while he can be very challenging to interact with - isn’t that part of what’s fun with interactions? That they’re not all supposed to be easy. And, of course, one of my favorite parts about my Nnoitra is the big modern!au story that I have created for him, where he has a completely different life, while still maintaining what I hope is a legit translation of his canon personality into a human!au. Another thing that makes my Nnoitra interesting - in my opinion - is that I’m in it with him for the long run. I’m here to build long-lasting relationships of all types. I’m here to write stories for him with others. 

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  Nnoitra is very difficult to get along with for most muses. He’s rude and sexist and also a bigot. These things really put people off, but I’m not going to water down my muse for anyone or anything. In canon verse he is very set on killing more or less anyone who approaches him, which can mean that a lot of interactions turn into fight-threads which some people aren’t interested in writing. He is also rather anti-social so.. Yeah, not the easiest to interact with for sure. 

What inspired you to rp your muse?  — I originally found my inspiration for him when I started drawing him way back in the days. I randomly drew him and got hooked on how inspiring he was to draw. I never experienced an art-block ever again. After over a year, after I had gotten into rping ( I was rping different characters ), I eventually wanted to try my hand at writing Nnoitra, and it’s been the best decision ever. Now I’m stuck with him forever ahahaha.

What keeps your inspiration going?  —  Nnoitra IS my inspiration. He is my muse. Definition of ‘ muse ‘:  a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist. I can’t imagine not writing him. I never have a problem with inspiration when it comes to writing him, since writing him gives me inspiration. 

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO.

Do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO. ( The inner monologue that I always write is filled with headcanons, but I hardly ever post ‘ headcanon posts ‘, because I don’t like writing meta - and I don’t like speaking for Nnoitra. )

Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO.

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.

Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO.

Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO.

Are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO.

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  —  Yes and no. If I ASK for criticism, then I’m happy to receive any kind of criticism. However, if I’m not prepared for it, and get random criticism out of the blue, then eh, I’m not really into that. 

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  —  Oh yes! I love headcanon questions! I always answer them IC, unless the question is specifically aimed at me, like: “toby what do you think about...”. I feel really flattered when people show interest in Nnoitra!

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  —  Not really. I don’t like discussing meta / headcanons about Nnoitra. If people disagree with my headcanons, they are free to make their own Nnoitra blog and do their thing. 

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  —  People have different opinions and that’s fine. I would prefer that if people who disagrees with my portrayal just unfollow me. I take my portrayal of Nnoitra very seriously and put a lot of effort into it. However, if I ASK for criticism, then I am completely open for it and would like to hear people’s disagreements on my portrayal. In general though, I don’t like discussing it. I don’t like discussing meta or anything like that, because I’m not open to changing my portrayal of him. 

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?  —  If a mod hates Nnoitra, I don’t mind that at all. I don’t mind if they post hate-content about him either, as long as they tag it, so that I don’t have to see it. I don’t like seeing Nnoitra bashed in public. For example, I block blogs that post hate on him to the #nnoitra gilga tags on here. I just think it’s unnecessary and I don’t want to see it. My followers and mutuals are free to hate Nnoitra, and it can often be interesting to have your muse interact with someone who hates them / they hate, so I totally understand. Nnoitra is not a very likeable character after all, and people are free to hate him. 

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?  —  Absolutely! I am not a native speaker, so I am sure I make a lot more grammatical errors than I’m aware of. If people want to point them out to me, I see that as a favor to me. 

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?   —  Yes, I think so. I’m chill even if I am very slow at answering messages. I always try to be kind and understanding and I hope people don’t feel intimidated by me even if I play a very mean character. 

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

[sothischickshe]

and then for the writer meme - 4, 6, and 9 (and look the bar is high for these answers so don't disappoint me)

I mean TBH I'm listening to the extra hip hop time bomb for a second time and not really paying attention to what I'm writing so idk, prepare for disappointment, and potential random FUCK THE POLICEs in the middle of sentences

4. Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline?

This varies a lot actually! Sometimes I write no notes/outlines (I don't think I've written a single note for filing her nails for example?), sometimes I've scribbled down some notes (bringing down the neighbourhood was one of those) and for some I've written down loads of notes of stuff that happens in order, which I guess is an outline!

For the genie au I ended up with an insane amount of notes but most of them were like: AND THEN BETH IS LIKE HA, AND RIO IS LIKE PFFFFFFFFFT, which...idk man. Helpful??

Here is a picture I took for @bourbon-ontherocks of page 1 (of 2) of the 'outline' for dirty dirty game:

(below!)

I was running out of space in my notebook so I half spaced it 😂 and I apparently subsequently used the notebook as a coaster and couldnt even be bothered to shut it first 👌

In terms of straying... I think the more verbose the notes, the more likely I am to stick to them, cos that's more like: here are the bones of the story, don't forget to include them all! I think I'm more likely to write notes like this if I'm not sure I've got the order of things clear so I need to see/get it down like that first?

When it's more like random notes of ideas unordered, I'm more likely to divert. For yourself and others I think I just had notes for ideas to maybe include somewhere. One was about annie having a convoluted plan to steal security footage only to find out the tapes had all been wiped. And I was like yea ha ha that's funny... Nah can't be bothered to write it though zzzz YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME PAST ME

6. If you’re really concentrating, how many words can you write in a day?

No fucking idea, mate. Seven? What am I gonna do count up the words I handwrite??

I feeeeeeel like I wrote down all of the genie au over like 2 days? But that might not be true. But that's just under 10k (😥) so... 5k?? Idk, I often tend to write a lil bit, then zone out thinking of the next bit, then snap back to reality and write the next bit, rinse and repeat, so it's not necessarily the speediest (also might fall asleep in the middle)

I know i can type up 10k+ in a day cos I've done it, but that's not that hard cos it's already all written innit

9. Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence, or canon-compliant fic?

Hmm! Well I'm not sure I've really written anything canon divergent exactly? Although I think the boundaries of au, canon divergence and future fics are a lil permeable, TBH.

I think my favourite thing might be just putting beth and rio in ludicrous situations (au or not, like yep they live next to each other don't question it, or yep there's genies now, don't ask).

The other day @sdktrs12 described all my fics as crack fics, and I was like yep 100000000000% true, can't believe no one's pointed it out so far TBH

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is:   canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. For sure, for being the cutest of cutes!! All Zeldas are cute though but she was the blueprint ;v; 

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. I’m a devout christian virgin I would never ever look at those kind of topics the only hot I see is the flames of hell for even considering this smh smh bUT NO FOR REAL THO I’M NOT REALLY SURE???? I mostly see people gushing over how cute she is rather than hot. 

Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / In some aspects. We don’t really see Skyward Sword Zelda’s abilities in the games as we did in, say, BOTW where she goes full goddess mode. Aside from blessing the master sword, sealing herself away, and the implications that the game gives us with Zelda being not only a student at the knight school but also a badass warrior goddess in her past life; I’d say she’s pretty up there in terms of strength. 

Are they underrated?  YES / NO. GONNA GO WITH YES AND NO ON THIS. As a character, Zelda is far from underrated she’s actually cliche blonde character we all love and stan but in this incarnation.... also yes and no because while I see a lot of people like SS Zelda keep in mind that SS is the black sheep of the series so not a lot of people have good opinions on it. I’ve seen some say she’s annoying, too shoujo or even Mary Sue at some points and hweoh we all know that the last one ain’t even close to true since she’s far from bland and OP written. But it’s all a matter of perspective!  

Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO /

Are they widely known in their world?  YES / NO.

How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL / FOR THE MOST PART, if we were talking verses like say witch verse she’d have more of a neutral reputation considering witches aren’t really well-liked ;-; 

How strictly do you follow canon?  

I try to do the best that I can do given with what we’re working with here all while adding my own spin to her characterization because we all have different perspective when it comes to art! How I see Zelda is someone who’s bubbly, playful (big ol bully hweoh), a bit of a busybody if she feels she needs to step in due to worrywart tendencies yet highly responsible and carries a wisdom that’s beyond her age, she doesn’t like seeing people bullying others and isn’t afraid to put her foot down to speak her mind if something is up. While kindness is sorta her strong suit I wanted to go beyond “nice girl” and just showcase other sides of her too, hence why main verse is typically set during the events of SS because here we see her growth into the girl we see at the end of the game where she’s melancholic of her past but is looking forward to seeing what the future holds and wants to build a brighter tomorrow with Link by her side along with friends and loved ones. I’m not at all confident in playing as her, despite playing as Zelda since 2017 haha!! So I can’t really say that I’m super strict in following canon considering that’s how I view the character through the actions and dialogue throughout the game, perhaps the creators had something different in mind than how I see Sky Zelda.   

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  

DO YOU LIKE WHOLESOME GIRLS?! Wait no, hold on, that’s a little too vague, so let’s try that again. Do you like wholesome genki girls who were once a god who fought in a war in their past life? How about pastel girls who may seem sweet but are deep down bullies towards loved ones? Are you at a point in your life where you find yourself wondering: where on earth can I find someone who’s ray of sunshine can brighten up my day. Will do I have good news for you buddy! Introducing your very own friend: Zelda from hit series Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This Zelda is more extreme than the others due to the fact that she’s not a princess, that’s right no princess titles clogging up that beautiful name. Just a knight who somehow finds out she’s actually a goddess reborn as human, no biggie! 

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?)

SHOUJO PROTAG WHO’S TOO FREAKING CUTE!! So.... if that’s not your cup of tea ;v; but nah I can see people not liking Zelda because not everyone like the nice girl who’s your childhood friend characrter, I totally get it but if you dig a little deeper you see that there’s more to it than that.

What inspired you to rp your muse?  

My close friend was FINALLY getting into the LOZ series back when BOTW was first coming out, her playthrough of SS made me remember how much I loved each characters and honestly Zelda’s design in that game was always my fav right next to Tetra and ALTTP/ALBW! At the time I mostly played more introverted muses or straight up villains and I wanted to try my hand at playing more wholesome characters like Sky Zel and ALTTP Zel ;v; now look at me, the CEO of wholesome cute girls ;v; 

What keeps your inspiration going?  

Motivation and time at this point, I’m not the young starry-eyed rper who used to have playlists and replay things to keep up with canon. I just pray to god I’m doing ok, let jesus take the wheel and just sorta do my own thing. I think having fun threads or a friendship with partners or just good vibes from them def helps a whole lot. 

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO.

Do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO. SORTA KINDA NOT AS MUCH AS I DO WITH ALTTP ZEL BECAUSE I’M ALWAYS NERVOUS THAT I MIGHT LIKE BREAK THE CANON OR ZEL’S CHARACTER!! 

Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO.  

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.

Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO.

Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO / Most of the time!

Are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO. I mean, that’s a trick question because I can be sensitive in picking up tones and reading between the lines but like if you mean if someone says something mean than no not anymore at least, I’m too old to care about what people say about me or think about me. 

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  

YE! I do! I mean we’re all improving and junk so I see no issues with criticisms uvub I always worry about whether or not you can hear different voices within the characters I rp as among writing issues I have that comes with learning disability and ADD, I try my hardest but I know at the end of the day there will always be grammar mistakes and even spelling! 

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?

YES YES YES!! OMG YES!! I TAKE WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND JUST... WORD VOMIT BACK SEVEN PAGE ESSAY SOMETIMES ;V; 

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?

Eh, well yeah it’d be nice honestly to hear feedbacks and thoughts. Just saying ‘I don’t like this or I don’t agree with this’ doesn’t really help anyone who wants to improve but I’m not gonna like press them for it either because again I’m at the stage in my life where I’m just like ‘it is what it is’. 

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?

Shrug emoji, and then move on! Again it’d be nice if they can tell me though but I won’t press them for it if they don’t feel like it. We’re allowed to have our opinions after all yo!

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?

It is illegal to hate sky zel or any Zel really... NAH JK I DON’T REALLY CARE I’ve liked characters who aren’t popular among the fandom, I’m more or less used to seeing character bashing for faves so like it doesn’t really affect me at all I’m just like “lol” and move on. 

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?

YES! Though keep in mind, despite me using Grey instead of Gray, I use US English ;v; so keep that in mind when spotting out certain words other parts of the world may spell differently because us US Americans just..... gotta be extra like that. 

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?  

I TRY!!! IDK IF I COME ACROSS AS THAT but I’m very much someone who goes with the flow anyway, I’ve been told that much IRL and I’m just hweoh not really someone who’s a stick in the mud or has a stick up their ass, you know? I’m pretty laid back and not much bothers me, I can get petty if I have to come across rude people that’s the one thing that kills it for me but aside from that, I just wanna try to get along with people. We don’t have to be friends if you’re not feeling the vibes but friendly terms is good enough for me!

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!
