Today is a sad day. I have officially written the last chapter of To Be Free From the Gods. Three full notebooks in which I wrote every single chapter, and roughly 60GB of video footage for references, and now it's finally done. I actually cried while I wrote the last few paragraphs. I've been working on this since March, bridging from one single thing that I had wished was different in the base game. I honestly never really intended to post it anywhere. And when I did, I did not anticipate anyone actually liking it. Nor did I anticipate people falling in love with Daedra, and her relationship with Minthara. Already had a couple people tell me that Daedra and Minthara are on their lists of favorite ships.
To everyone who has followed me through the story and kept up, thank you. There are not enough words to describe how much I love you and appreciate you. All of the feedback I have gotten has only encouraged me to do more, and I want to do more. Even though I am good at writing essays, I've never really considered myself to be much of a creative writer, nor particularly good at it. So, it makes me happy that people do like my creative writing, just as much as my analytical and argumentative stuff.
With that being said, there are still plenty of chapters left for me to publish so it's not over quite yet. Once I finish publishing TBFFTG, uploads on I Want This One will be more frequent as I will soon have the time to put more attention to it. But uploads will not be as frequent as TBFFTG, nor will I stick to a strict schedule like I used to. I want to give each chapter the proper attention and care, and will upload them when they are done. It will also be a long fic, but I don't intend on it being as long as TBFFTG (although, I never intended for that one to get as long as it did either).
I also do intend on getting over to my Shadowheart x Minthara fic. I have the framework written out for it, but only up to Act 3. I still need to finish my Shadowheart origin run before I start writing anything for it, which I might get back to within the week. I also have a small queue of stories that I do intend to get to as well so.
Love you guys!

OC Interview: Valerie Hye-jin Li (aka Grandpa V)
Tumblr media
Tagged by: @jackiemychoom @therealnightcity & @tarmac-rat! Thanks so much for thinking of me! 🧡
NGL these are some unusual (and not the most serious) interview questions. So, I was trying to think of a scenario in which V would actually answer these questions. (Because mind you, she normally wouldn't and especially not for a total stranger.) Luckily, I know just the reporter… I may have gone a little overboard with this, but I think I just needed something light and fluffy in between all the angst and carnage that I’m currently writing.
The TLDR version is all the way at the bottom under the cut, so if you’d prefer not to read all of this and just want the quick and dirty on the questions. There you are.
This one's kind of old, so I think a lot of folks have been tagged already, but tagging (and as per usual, no pressure): @shimmer-like-agirl @baublekute @vox-monstera @nncc77 @merge-conflict @fly-amanitaa @dani-the-goblin @sp4cedr4g0n
(And no it doesn't have to be a Cyberpunk OC, but if you tag me I'll pop over and read your interview!)
Auntie V by Monique Kutcher
[The scene opens at Red Peaks Trailer Park. Moving closer we get an exterior view of the Kutcher residence before transitioning to the common area inside. Late morning light filters in from the windows. A tired, very bedraggled looking V is sitting in the corner of the booth. She has bedhead, is wearing an oversized t-shirt, lounge shorts, and is nursing her coffee. She takes a sip. Turning toward the hallway we see Monique appear. There is a sparkly unicorn on her pink shirt. She has a fistful of crayons in one hand and a screamsheet along with several blank pieces of paper in the other.]
Monique: (staring awkwardly) Auntie V, are you busy?
V: (fidgeting in her seat. uncomfortable) Um… Not really. Why?
Monique: Can I ask you some questions?
V: (hesitant) What kind of questions?
[Monique moves to sit next to V. Setting down her crayons and paper on the table, Monique shows V the screamsheet she was carrying. It’s an interview article on US Cracks and Kerry Eurodyne from some teen magazine.]
Monique: These. I’m practicing being a media reporter.
V: (blinking in surprise) Uh... Sure? I guess.
Monique: Yay! Okay, first question. What’s your name? Oh, I already know this one.
[Picking up a purple crayon, Monique writes the letter V on one of the blank pieces of paper. It takes up most of the page. After jotting that down she squints at the magazine. Concentrating.]
Monique: How tall are you?
V: 5’ 3”.
[Switching to a green crayon, Monique writes the number 53 on the page. She squints some more at the magazine.]
Monique: (trying to sound out the word she’s reading) Ge– What does that word say?
V: Gender? Female. I’d say I’m a girl.
Monique: But you don’t like the color pink?
V: Not really. Not all girls like pink.
Monique: (nodding sagely) But you do like purple. That’s my favorite color.
V: Yeah. I do like purple.
[Monique writes the word girl in yellow crayon before trying to read the next question off the magazine.]
Monique: Um… What’s that word?
V: Orientation. I’m bisexual.
Monique: What does that mean?
V: I like girls and boys.
Monique: I do to. Though sometimes Dorian and Alex are mean to me when we’re playing.
V: That’s not… Nevermind. (muttering) I'll leave that one to your Mom and Uncle. 
[V picks up the purple and pink crayon and draws a little bisexual pride flag on the corner of Monique’s notes. The colors aren’t quite right.]
V: …What’s your next question? Nationality/Ethnicity? Born and raised in Night City, but I’m half Korean, quarter Chinese, and a quarter Danish.
Monique: (confused) Danish? Like the cake?
V: No, like Denmark. The country… Cake? You mean the pastry with the filling in it?
Monique: Yeah! Mom always has one when she brings us donuts. The cherry ones are her favorite. Where’s Denmark?
V: Pretty far away.
Monique: Mm, okay. 
[V watches as Monique attempts to draw a pastry on her notes. Cherry filling, of course.]
Monique: Next question… Star sign!
V: Uh… Libra. I think?
Monique: What’s that mean?
V: (shrugging) No idea.
Monique: (shrugs back) Okay.
[Zooming in on we see Monique draw a star and write the word ‘Lebra’. The ‘L’ is written backwards.)
Monique: Favorite fruit?
V: Pomegranate. 
Monique: I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one of those.
V: Kind of a weird fruit. I’ve only eaten it twice. I like that they’re crunchy, the fruit’s around all the little seeds. They’re a pain in the ass to eat though.
[Monique looks at V.]
V: How about I draw it, since you’ve never eaten one and then you can ask me the next question.
[Monique nods. V picks up the red crayon and starts doodling. It’s a piss poor rendition.]
Monique: Favorite season?
V: In NC, winter. It’s not as hot as it usually is.
[Monique draws a snowflake. She's probably never seen snow. But neither has V.]
Monique: Favorite flower?!
V: Mmm… Cactus flowers.
Monique: The big ones or the little ones?
V: Uh, the small ones. With all the round… leaves? Is that what they are?
Monique: Prickly pears!? I like those ones too! The pink ones are my favorite. There’s some over by Auntie Lora’s trailer. Dorian’s always looking for bugs in them. Bleh!
[Monique draws something resembling a cactus covered in pink and yellow flowers. V is still working on her poorly drawn pomegranate.]
Monique: Favorite smell?
V: Real leather and ginger.
[V puts her crayon down. Done with her pomegranate blob.]
Monique: What do those smell like?
V: Ginger’s like a spice? A root. Has a fresh smell, kinda sharp. Leather smells like… (picking up her coffee and taking a sip to hide the blush on her face) Smells like your Uncle…
Monique: Uncle River does smell nice. But sometimes he gets stinky when he’s been outside working too long. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?!
V: Coffee, then tea. Don’t really like hot chocolate. Especially the synth-stuff. Has a weird aftertaste.
Monique: I love hot chocolate! Mom let me try some of her coffee once. I didn’t like it.
V: Maybe when you’re older.
Monique: Nah. 
[Monique kicking her feet and reading the next question.]
Monique: Hmm, how much do you sleep?
V: 5 to 6 hours. Usually. On a good day.
[V takes a sip of her coffee.]
Monique: Mom says Dorian and I need 10 hours of sleep every night. She makes us go to bed early. She tells Randy to go to bed too, but he usually doesn't listen. (still kicking her feet) I wish I got to stay up late. You and Uncle River get to stay up late. I heard you both last night when I went to the bathroom.
[V spits her coffee back into her mug, face turning bright red.]
Monique: You okay? Why’d you spit out your coffee?
V: (flustered) No reason.
Monique: (puts her arms up in the air and shakes them around) Was it because you and Uncle River were wiggling last night? Mom says because your his girlfriend you both need alone time. She told me and Dorian not to knock when you’re visiting and the door to Uncle River’s room is closed. Mom also said he should think about getting his own trailer. (thoughtful) I don’t think I’d like that though, because then I’d have to walk out of the trailer for Uncle River to make me breakfast in the morning. Mom always burns the toast. 
[V now looks like a tomato and avoids making eye contact with Monique, instead giving her coffee mug a pinched expression. Unfazed, Monique moves on to the next question.]
Monique: Which is your favorite, cats or dogs?
V: (clearing her throat) Cats. Have a cat named Nibbles.
Monique: Oh, can I meet your cat?!
V: Sure.
Monique: What color is your cat?
V: (still looking uncomfortably hot, albeit less red in the face, also looking very sadly at the backwash in her coffee) Hmm, pink. Ish. He doesn’t have any fur.
[Monique draws a pink cat and reads the next question off the screamsheet.]
Monique: Where would you like to go on a trip?
V: (looks out the window for a long moment) Some place without buildings. Less people.
Monique: The Badlands?
V: I was thinking further away.
Monique: Denmark?
V: Mm, maybe. I think they might even have trees there.
[Monique draws a tree on her notes before trying to read the next question.]
Monique: Favorite – Um…
V: Fictional character. Don’t have one.
Monique: Number of blankies you sleep with?
V: 2-3. I get cold when I sleep.
Monique: And the last one! A fun fact?
V: (thinking) Used to play the clarinet.
Thanks for reading that if you did lol! TLDR version and/or if you need the questions!

Back To The River (So Learn To Swim)
Posting hopefully regularly to Archive of our Own (with warnings) and squidgeworld (without warnings).
Summary:
Yu Ziyuan has been dead for over a hundred years, so it's a bit of a surprise when she dies.
One minute she's watching the youngest Lan daughter bow to her ancestors—it still baffles her that Wei Wuxian counts her as an ancestor, and that he's filial enough to have had a plaque made for her, but here they are—and the next she's choking on blood, her eyesight dimming. Wei Wuxian, she thinks furiously, what have you done now?
Then she wakes up.
Because her bladder is full.
Yu Ziyuan finds herself back in Lotus Pier, before any of her children have been born, and decides that things would go better if Jiang Yanli is the heir, not Jiang Cheng. One change leads to another, and another, and another.
And is Cangse Sanren flirting with her?
Things do not always go smoothly, but sometimes the family you find is the one you should have had all along.
This is a polyamorous Jiang parents fix-it fic: Yu Ziyuan/Cangse Sanren, Yu Ziyuan/Jiang Fengmian, Cangse Sanren/Wei Changze, Wei Changze/Jiang Fengmian. WangXian still happens, but it's not the main focus.
It's a pretty light Mature that could probably have been okay as a heavy Teen. Fully written and beta-read; 70k-ish of raising children, standing up for what one values, and falling in love.

A Mermaid Magic Music Mystery?
Well, more like questionable music release decisions. You see, as I suspected, an EP of the songs in Mermaid Magic went up after the series release, with 3 songs, including the two that were released earlier this month. So far, so good.
In the credits for the show the transformation song is called Shine & Glow, which is what it's called on the EP, but the previously released single called it Pearl Power. And here's where the mystery comes in. The single version of Pearl Power was removed from Spotify, even though the single of Making Waves wasn't, but I could still access its information in my history and saw that there was a time discrepancy between the two versions. The EP is only 5 seconds shorter, but that was enough to make me curious. Which is how I learned the youtube video of the single had also been removed, but it was still available on itunes, so I was able to compare the two versions.
The main difference between them is that Pearl Power has an extra instrumental break near the end. Which is all well and good, except the instrumental is about 15 seconds long! It turns out Shine & Glow has a couple extra seconds of intro, but also a full ten seconds of silence at the end of the track. It should be noted that the EP version of Making Waves is 5 seconds longer than the single, entirely due to extra silence at the end, but five seconds is a more reasonable buffer than ten.
One last wrinkle to this mystery: even though the singles are on itunes, the EP is not. This might just be an oversight and it will be there later, but we will have to wait and see. Update: as of 8/24, Pearl Power is removed from itunes, though Making Waves is still up, and the EP still is not.
