Tagged by the beloved @toads-treasures to talk about my writerly ways. :)

When did you start writing?

I've been writing for a very, very long time. I had so many spiral note books with drawings and little stories. I remember in first grade my friends and I wrote stories about us and our friends being superheroes. I was a writer and THE illustrator, and I still have the notebook where I drew all of us. Before that I would wander around recess just making up songs and after that I got way too involved in imaginary recess plot lines. My friends grew out of it, and I did not. So writing was the best option. It's harder now. It sounds dramatic, but I wonder if sometimes the burnout is too deep and it's all tainted. Other parts of me have healed since college, but this part still feels broken.

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

I think the things I read are pretty similar to what I like to write: romance, fantasy, horror, mystery. Though I do read a lot of Star Wars content, and I don't know I could ever write in that world. I love it SO much, but I'd be so afraid to forget something or mess it up. I'm not really interested in other scifi at the moment.

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

Emily Henry is one of my favorite authors right now. Her romances have all the fun stuff, but they also hit something deep in my heart. It's not just romance and fun tropes, there is something very human and personal there. I think Shirley Jackson's stories and incrdibly cool. The Magnus Archives altered by brain in a way that will not be undone. I can think of a lot of writers I'd be honored to get compared to from both published stories and fanfics.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

My writing space is wherever the mood strikes. I feel the most free at my job when I have some free time and can zone out into my thoughts. We won't think too hard about that. At home, my desk is kind of cluttered, but there are things I love all around. My bookshelf is to my left if I ever need inspiration or guidance.

I like cramming words onto notebook pages and writing in different directions to throw off my perfectionist tendancies. It can't be that important if I am writing it sideways, right?

What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?

One song. On repeat. As long as it takes. (Could be multiple, but usually one is THE muse)

Also talking to toad. I honestly work best with a partner.

Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?

When I realize my themes have been recurring I am usually surprised at first, but then it makes sense. While making OCs with toad I realized just how often I inflict oldest sibling disease on my characters. Lots of sibling dynamics. Loss and grief come up a lot but that's not really an accident. There are lots of things to lose and be haunted by. I very purposely try to put parts of myself I struggle with in my ocs I think it's important.

"And I think I was always writing for myself, to sort through my loss and worry and tangled ambitions. Even now, I think about how effortless it is to lose oneself in words, and yet also find who you are." -Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

"Literature, for all of us, is a way that we rehearse life. And, of course, I don’t have that much life left. I’ve already experienced everything that one can experience. But kids who are ten years old, they have it all in front of them, and some of it is going to be very, very hard. When they read about people experiencing those hard things, they rehearse how they would react, feeling it without having to truly feel it yet. It serves a valid purpose for them." -Lois Lowry interview

What’s your reason for writing?

Fun.

See above quote.

Is there any specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating?

Seeing people get excited about my characters or the things I come up with makes me extremely happy. It doesn't matter if it's a keyboard smash or detailed list of things you liked. I don't forget kind words. I also like making toad use sobbing crying emojis in response to my ideas so that too.

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

Very little. Think about the story or the character, pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain. Otherwise I'd say always kindly, but with the occassional fist shaken in my direction for angst.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

I'm really not sure. For a writer I sure haven't written much lately. I used to say my dialogue.

How do you feel about your own writing?

Depends on how much time has passed since I last read it. While I'm writing it? I hate it, my own words are so annoying. It's because I have read and thought about them a hundred times and the perfectionism really sours things. When I can seperate myself I think it can be really good. I mainly just wish I could finish it.

[rayshippouuchiha]

Okay so, feel free to not answer this one, it's,, kinda heavy, i think? and a bit long. also, sorry about just dropping this here, it's just been weighting on me for at least a couple of years?

So, i'm 21, and like, a big lurker in fandom spaces, and with the ships I ship I sometimes see the "these kind of ships are only okay if you're a csa survivor" stuff, which,, bullshit, but always makes me go "is that,, me? does what happened to me count?" and like, i'm aware that just needing to ask that probably means the answer to that is yes, but I've always shied from thinking about myself that way? The term survivor feels heavy, i guess, like it needs to cross a threshold before the thing counts? Which, logically I know is not how that works, but still

It was just like, this one time I was staying at my great aunt's with my parents for like the 1000th time, I loved going over there, she and her husband had dogs and we'd have breakfast together and hang out doing stuff in the garden. But then this one time when I was like,, 13?? I was pretending to be asleep to read fanfic under the covers after bedtime (I was sleeping in a pullout couch in the living room) and my aunt's husband,, kinda groped me? I don't think he realized I was awake, but I froze and just did my best to pull away quietly and then he stopped and left, and I just,, never mentioned it to anyone in my family because I didn't want anyone to fight?? I've been very nervous about raised voices since I was little

After the fact we just left and anytime my parents mentioned visiting I'd try my best to get out of it, by coming up with like reports or homework I had to do over the weekend, and if I couldn't get out of going I'd just stay put in the room I usually slept in or go out with my parents just to have minimum contact with my uncle, which meant like, hugging him hello and goodbye when we got there and when we left, and sometimes accompanying him to gather wood for the fireplace

Anyways, for unrelated motives my parents and I moved to another entire continent right after I turned 16, and then a while later he got sick and died, and hearing everyone lamenting his death and saying that he was such a good man stung like a bitch, even though I*know* i specifically didn't mention it to anyone in my family to avoid any tension. Sometimes I wish I did say something? But like, we moved away *and* he's dead and nobody's even mentioned him in a long time so I don't really see the point? It's a weird thing, and I don't want my parents to ask why I didn't say anything earlier bc they'd get sad, i think

I do have a couple of people to talk to. My friends have gotten really angry on my behalf a few times now, and I love them. Still, it's a weird thing where I don't really want to think about it but also I know it's a thing that really affected me? Still, the term 'csa survivor' feels like it should go for,, heavier things, worse things

Sorry again for just,, dropping this here, just.. talking about it helps a bit, i think?

Oh darling this is a heavy one indeed.

Look, I'm going to be real with you.

What you feel about this uncle is valid. It doesn't matter that it was only once, it doesn't matter that it was "just a grope", it doesn't matter that it didn't progress, it doesn't matter that you were able to avoid him afterward.

He assaulted you. Point blank. He was an adult family member you should have been able to trust and he touched you in a way he should have never even thought to touch you.

I am so grateful that it never progressed, that you were able to stay away from him as much as possible and that he never touched you like that again but the fact remains that you should have never had to deal with that. The burden, the fear, of that kind of thing should have never been placed on you. He broke a trust with you and in you that could never be replaced and that is and will always be on him.

The title of survivor does feel heavy and I can understand why you wouldn't feel comfortable carrying it. In the end that's your choice and your choice is and should always be what matters most.

I also understand being reluctant to tell your parents, especially since he's dead now. I do have to ask if there were any other children or teenagers he might have also attempted to prey on besides you?

Either way I'm glad you have a support system, I'm glad you have friends you can talk to about it.

[harpywritesfic]

Look at me, a wants-to-write-but-blocks-themselves-because-the-first-letter-I-type-down-has-to-be-perfect-fanfic writer.

I've been hoarding various prompt lists like whumptober and fluffbruary. I even snatched myself one of those ironstrange bingo cards in hopes I could fill one of prompts in a year. But now half of the year is over and my card still empty.

I feel like a failure 😞

ah, you've come to the right place. abandon your perfectionism, all ye who enter here. this is a land of unedited drafts, fics written in a haze of hyperfixation, caffeine highs and/or mental breakdowns. i've mastered the art of "good enough".

remember- writing is messy! the process is messy, and the product can be messy too. in a sense nothing people write is ever truly 'finished'- there's always room for improvement. that's how art works, in my humble opinion. try to find enjoyment in the process, not the product. as the artist, your own work will always seem imperfect. but that doesn't make it any less valuable.

it might help to know how i write most of my fics. maybe my method isn't your style, but i'll walk you through it anyway since it might help.

sit down to write. or write standing up. where isn't important. what matters most is you've got an idea or a prompt or an anything that makes you want to write.

word barf. this is the very rough draft phase. throw out everything you know you want to have happen into the doc. try not to read over what you're putting down (the messiness of it all can be daunting). mine often are made up of unfinished sentences, half-baked scene ideas, 'they do x and then y", mixed with some finished portions. if you get stuck, you can always come back, and you'll already have a little something on the page :)

splice and dice. this is where i put my scenes in their order (if they weren't already, it rly depends on what you're writing. sometimes it's linear, sometimes it's not). biggest thing i use this phase for is working out where i need transitions between scenes, where i need to expand my "x then y" bits into writing, and and where i can just put a empty line with a "-" in the center to indicate a new scene.

flesh it out. i get stuck here a lot. this is the step where you weave your scenes together, write your dialogue, fill in your placeholders. it's okay to just skip parts and come back to them. some parts, if they're really giving you trouble, can just be removed entirely. you're the writer- it's up to you. choose your battles.

(optional) editing. sometimes i just don't even bother, especially if i know i'll hate reading what i've written (if this happens to you, it's best to skip the editing! a few mistakes are no big deal. i find it easier to just throw it to the wolves (readers), who are usually very nice and rarely point out mistakes. they're not picky). sometimes editing is just a quick pass for typos. but you can also get into it a little more, really go elbow-deep, and edit to improve things like flow, pacing, tone, and other boring stuff. totally unnecessary, though. if you hate this step? skip it.

it took me maybe a year to feel comfortable enough to post something i'd written. and it's okay, too, if you don't feel comfortable posting anything. you can never post it. or you can do it anyway. sometimes i say to myself, "i want to read more of this specific ship/trope/situation/dynamic/whatever" and i make it myself. they say to write what you want to read, and that's even more true for fanfic. there are people out there who want to read the same things as you. sometimes you gotta look your fear in the eyes, quote Freddie Mercury and say, "I'll fucking do it, darling."

having said that, this might be most important- it's okay if you never post anything you write. fanfic is something we do for fun- there is no failure. the most important thing is to enjoy yourself. there doesn't have to be any finished product- just enjoy the process.

i hope this wasn't too ramble-y or anything. my brain works in strange ways, so this might be totally unhelpful. who knows! but i'll post it anyway, in case it is.

😈🛒✨🛠⛔🙋‍♀️💖❌ 🤗🤯 for the ask thing (sorry I got a lot of questions!)

oh god, that's a lot! let's see what we have here

😈has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

oh, all the time. many of my reader friends open my next chapter with great caution because i tend to be a little mean to my main characters sometimes (without warning, too). sometimes i also like to make already pretty bad conditions even worse for fun <3 i love my readers

🛒what are common things you incorporate in your fics? themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

at this point it's pretty much impossible to find a fic of mine that doesn't involve a doc and marty found family trope, and i love when they hug, so that also does happen all the time. it's a crime that they only had two hugs in the entire trilogy. bob gale, what the hell?

aside from that...emotional hurt, fluff. friendship. these things. i'm not a huge fan of romance, so i tend to stay away from that (except if it's necessary for plot purposes)

✨give you and your writing a compliment. go on now. you know you deserve it.

awww. that's sweet. let me think.

as much as it frustrates me sometimes, my writing is pretty solid in english for it being my third language. i sometimes reread my stuff and think that this is a style i'd also gladly read.

🛠️what tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

i use libreoffice and google docs for the most part! but if i'm in complete writers block, this website helps me a lot! it actually makes me write lmao

⛔do you have a fic you started, but scraped?

yep. i had a bttf prequel fic i wanted to write, but i eventually scraped it because the plot was pretty lame. also my brain was overtaken by other projects that matter more to me now, so it's not a big loss ;)

🙋‍♀️do any irl people know you write fanfic?

in my irl friend group, i usually disguise fanfic as "stories that go nowhere" instead of admitting that i post them for the enitre internet to discover and read. some friends know that it's specifically fanfic, though. my family knows nothing and i'd like for it to stay that way lol

💖what made you start writing?

personally, i've been loving to write since forever. i used to write short stories for myself, up until i discovered fanfic when i was 10. my drive to write fanfiction usually comes from my love for fandoms and characters, and the urge to add my own touch to already existing stories and put those characters into interesting scenarios. you can do so many things while keeping the characters you know and love, and that's really fun!

❌what's a trope you will never write?

y/n or oc x canon. i appreciate everyone who managed to insert y/n or oc into canon so well that the story still makes sense and is well written, but personally i could never do that. the already existing characters bring me enough inspiration to come up with stories, and i'm perfectly content with writing for them.

🤗what advice would you give to give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

don't be afraid to start! things like "but others are better than me" shouldn't stop you. yes, others are better than you. they will always be others who are more successful and have a different writing style that you may think as being better. but you will improve, and be proud of your own work. fanfic is something you write for yourself and also for free, it's your time you're investing and it's perfectly fine to be proud of the stories you tell! and there always will be people who genuinely enjoy what you write :)

wow that was a lot

🤯what's a genre you struggle with as a writer? (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

while i've slowly gotten a hang on romance, i stuggle with action scenes (simply because i tend to focus on emotion rather than plot). also horror? angst, yes. horror? no, nope. don't know how to write that.

thank you so much for the ask!

Followup to my previous:

I was thinking about how the bead shop here in town, the one that sells 15/0s right there in the store, they're having trouble and I feel helpless about it. I don't want them to go out of business. I'd love to give some of my time to them, and maybe--I'm obviously not as young as I used to be, but I'm younger than the people I usually see in there.

Plus, so this guy came in. He was not quite right, and I don't think the person in the shop today usually has encounters like this. I'm pretty familiar with running into the not quite right, as a person as much as in an employee capacity. I was ready to keep him honest, but I wasn't really sure if she was familiar with handling situations like this, plus, it wasn't my store...... I didn't know where I might overstep.

Anyway.

A quick aside about how I might like to volunteer for this shop, offer a different kind of face, maybe bring in a different kind of age group. But goddamn, two days off just doesn't feel like enough time for myself--and it of course feels like even less time to myself if I have to be out of the apartment for errands.

I'm just irritated that, like let's say I start making this bead boxes, or maybe I move on to something else, it feels like making a profit is the only way to do anything.

Anyway. It just gets me to thinking, like, stuff like writing fanfic, and reading and sharing it--from links, to podcasts, to typesets, to bound books--it feels like an act of rebellion, a taking back of freedom. Sure, once you get to printing and covering and bookmarks and dust jackets, like, it's still consuming, but it's not consuming for the sake of the hustle. It feels like circumventing the [publishing] industry, it feels like side-stepping the rat race and feeling a little closer to total strangers.

Even slow fashion and choosing to repair instead of replace--the coquelicot skirt, a re-re-reinvention of a completely adjustable skirt, one that will always fit you, and your mom and your sister and your cousin and your niece. It feels slow, and free from the grabby hands of capitalism--repair is bad for business. One garment built to last decades, if not generations--it's bad for business. Not letting small degradations to an otherwise sturdy enough garment lead you to throw it away--it's bad for business.

But goddamn, it feels so good and rebellious. And it's stupid that it feels so rebellious. For centuries and centuries, repair was a matter of course. One did not simply run out and buy probably a years worth of food in fabric every couple months. One made what they had work and last, and last and last, until it completely degraded away to nothing.

Growing your own garden, for those who have the resources for such, preserving even the produce you purchase at a grocery store--it's bad for business. You should just let your food go bad and buy more.

I know this is just kind of getting random and disjointed, but I'm so exhausted.

I should be able to tell my boss, hey, I want to work four ten-hour days a week, and that should be doable. I should be able to tell my boss, I only want to work thirty hours a week and I should still be able to pay my rent. It shouldn't be a big fucking deal. It's not like they're paying me for my exclusivity--actually, that's part of the problem. They aren't, and I think it would be nice to have the time to not only get off work and relax in the evenings, but also have time on my days off to run errands, decompress, maybe actually get a second job and still not feel over-worked.

I don't understand why I have to give so much of my life to my job--the extra nights when I could sleep to my own natural rhythm. It really would not be that difficult for me personally, and of course, I'm certain many others, to do four ten-hour days with this kind of client. Why do I have to devote so much of my life to my job? I'm not even talking about that "time blind" person crying because the job they wanted laughed about them essentially showing up whenever they wanted to a situation that clearly did not allow for that.

I'm not even considering the commute that I no longer have to make.

I'm merely talking about re-balancing my life, which I'm more than willing to do, to feel like I have a little more freedom and control. I just do not understand how difficult it would be to tack on one more hour before and after my shifts, say Monday through Thursday, and then just not fucking schedule me Friday through Sunday. Why is this so fucking controversial??? Because people might like it??? Because, what, the shareholders are so convinced that with constant streams of what we're doing on the computers as well as a fucking camera in our fucking faces, because we aren't in the office, we STILL have too much freedom??? Fuck the shareholders. Useless fucking breathers.

What is so fucking wrong with giving me one more fucking day to decompress--or heaven fucking forbid, get a second job--or whatever the fuck it is that I fucking want to do with my fucking free time.

I dunno. I'm exhausted and I feel like I'm under so much pressure that I might explode.

I'm also disappointed that there's more information on the internet than ever, but most of it is fucking hustle, ads ads and more ads. How long and far do you realistically expect me to sift before I just fucking give up and my interest and desire to self-educate just.....evaporate again......

Anyway, I'm going to try to set aside my bitter, stressed feelings about the hellhole the internet has become despite all the kind people and teams who are trying to lend a hand to some of us and try to keep us from sliding further down the fiery maw of capitalism.

More people are typesetting BUFN and I haven't even finished typesetting DoT. I can't finish BUFN till I've done at least one more volume of DoT.

I might actually also have to do some printing tomorrow.

[friedricebunny]

hang on no i do have ideas about fanfic writer kdj (not necessarily accurate this is a brain dump):

he is most of the ways of survival tag on ao3. he probably fucking started the fandom tag and canonized all the characters (which is basically when you can actually search for that tag instead of just seeing that "this tag belongs to additional tags" page) (canonized might be the wrong word tho)

he used to be the only author for wos fanfiction but then ppl caught onto the absurd amount of fanfic he's writing and for a moment, they're interested in reading like the first few chapters of wos only to learn it's boring as fuck. some ppl still write very short fanfics about wos even though they have no intention of continuing w the novel though it doesn't matter bc those fanfics are getting buried under kdj's 632th yjh/lsa angst fanfic

he's like that one person on ao3 who has written like a thousand fanfics about their obscure polycule (i can't remember their name and the blog i'd usually use to find said account turned out to be a terf so)

i was joking about him writing yjh/reader fanfiction bc well i'm a dokhyuk enjoyer but if i think about it, i don't think that dude could bring himself to write that even if he did have a crush on yjh. some of the few wos fanfics that aren't his are yjh/reader fanfics and kdj is just shaking his head every time he reads one (but he just brushes off as "they haven't read far enough they don't know yjh like I do this is why i have to write my 324th yjh character study fic")

alternatively he does write it but can't bring himself to publish it bc "it's too ooc this is so embarrassing" (as opposed to his existing fanfics which might also be a bit too ooc but kdj doesn't see it)

there's also x reader of other characters and there's definitely knw/reader and kdj has no mercy on the authors who write these and he's fighting w them in the comments

okay slightly unrelated: apparently and this is when i'm using orv's publishing date as a reference point for the timeline but kdj would've found wos in 2005 and ao3 opened up to the public in 2009 so there's like an entire 4 year period in btwn those two events and now i'm imagining kdj writing his fanfics alongside all that other stuff he was writing when he was younger (such as all his ideas for what he would've done in the scenarios and hang on isn't that also fanfic)

i have ZERO idea how fanfic writer kdj would affect the scenarios i think my brain will explode if i try to figure out the technicalities i'm not figuring that out

fanfic writer kdj is a idea that sometimes bounces around in my head but honestly i'd have no idea where i'd even go with that idea (also tbh i'm not confident enough in my understanding of kdj or anybody's characterization to want to write them)

First request for NSFW abc!: @bunnyrhe for Risk, Hair, and Experience

You didn't specify which member so I did them all <3 we're keeping this on the DL look below cut 👀

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Kim Seokjin: i feel like Jin is typically the type of person who keeps it pretty vanilla, at least in terms of equipment. he's not gonna string you up on anything crazy, maybe he'll use a vibe or plug or smth, but this is a man who can bring you to your knees with just his hands. if you wanna try something, fine, but if it ain't broke don't fix it

Min Yoongi: another pretty simple guy, he's more on the tactile play side of things, spanking, choking, ykno, he'll do smth if you wanna do it but not really otherwise. he will tie you up tho, no questions asked, easier to tease you that way

Jung Hoseok:.... you already know what imma say, this man is a certified freak seven days a week, he is up for anything, he has hooks drilled into the bedframe for ropes, he has satin lined handcuffs and an assortment of dildos, yes even tentacle shaped ones, he is down

Kim Namjoon: I wanna say yes... but I also wanna say no... he has a... how do you say... breeding kink? he has forgotten to buy condoms for the last five grocery trips but he swears his pull out game is god tier(its mid, honestly, but that's just cause he is literally debating whether or not to just cum in you every single time) other wise uhhh i feel like he'd have a paddle board to spank you with

Park Jimin: also a man with an assortment of toys, I feel like you guys have your weird kinks, but he's not a risk taker, not really anyways. All new kinks are throughly communicated and planned out and you usually just stick to your favorites. That being said, you have a pair of vibrating underwear and only he has the remote

Kim Taehyung: this man is a menace. I know i said hoseok was a freak but this man is a monstrosity. Idk if I've read too much yandere fanfic for him, but I just feel like he'd be so obsessed with you, like no matter what you want he's down-- minus the obviously gross ones like scat and watersports or whatever. Period sex tho? He's already getting the towel, you need help with your cramps, baby say no more. yea he has a foot fetish srry

Jeon Jungkook: dom. Full dom. Leather jacket, boot stomping, fingerless glove dom. He will say the dirtiest things to you, maybe back in 2018 i would've said he's baby, but we know too much now. I've seen undercut jungoo and that is a whole different man. He will tie you up and make you cry and then give you the best cuddles afterwards. The risk is whether or not he'll stop playing overwatch to fuck u

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I was considering splitting this one up but I think they all just have natural bushes? Like I'd say maybe Jin and hoseok keep theirs more trimmed than the others, but they're all clean cuz this is an alternative universe where boys wipe their ass

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Most experience: jimin and jungkook. Just absolutely insatiable. They know exactly what they're doing and thats the scary part

Medium experince: yoongi doesn't really care for hookups but he needs to release some tension ukno, and taehyung is on the high side of medium because he doesn't like hookups as much, but he still does them, just less than jimin and jungkook, hoseok likes to have someone he can communicate with so he prefers being in a relationship ship to have sex but he is known to go out n let loose

Low experience: I feel like the casual stuff isn't jins thing but he does know what he's doing, he's been in a few relationships and understands female anatomy enough to know how to make you squirt within the first ten minutes

11, 23

11) what’s something neat you’ve learned while doing research for something you were writing? also, how much do you worry about doing research in general?

all the deep-sea fish i learned about for kit and dewey talking in folding mirror!! my favorite really is the cookiecutter fish, bc i think it's absolutely charming, and horrifying, that it bites in a circular shape. but i think barreleye fish, with the massive, tube-shaped, reflective eyes, are the most neat. i am still 100% terrified of the ocean, but i think weird fish are just delightful now. and i wound up researching all those fish bc i came up with the phrase 'oceanic intrigue' and i thought it sounded fun, but i knew NOTHING about deep-sea fish, which seemed like what oceanic intrigue would mean, so i had to learn about some fish. took a couple hours over a morning and lunch googling fish.

so if there's like, something i'd like to know more about, bc i think it will make a scene go smoother, bc i DON'T know a great deal about it, then yeah, i'll do a little bit of research. because there's a lot of stuff i don't know! and little details do matter, a lot of the time!! i googled stuff about cigars for writing columbo, i'll look up distances between one place and another to see how long it would take a character to get there, interiors of buildings i haven't been in, layouts of different places, i'll seek out real life places i can get to to get an idea of what certain kinds of buildings could look like. a little about yaks for babybea fic, some airplanes for parent trap au to try and replace the concorde, bc they don't exist anymore, although i wound up just leaving it in, food recipes, new musicians so i don't always use the same ones, details about the varied thrush for the peaks birdwatching fic. sometimes you research for a starting point, sometimes you research to add details you didn't know.

but i did google mouse behavior for a small wip, and then, decided to disregard some of it, in order to make the fic Just A Cute Time. sometimes, that happens too.

oh, most notably, i did google something like 'large plant person could hide in' to come up with jacques hiding in a boxwood. yes, a boxwood could get that big. well, especially if you like, scrunched down in it, too.

i'll do character research too, for fic. if it's the first time i'm writing a character, i'll go through canon for details about them and see what i can do with those details, what i can headcanon off of that, what canon already has in terms of worldbuilding and what i can do with it.

23) how do you deal with writers block?

i think a lot of times it's just a matter of needing to take a step back and reset your brain for a while. go do something else. take a walk, make a sandwich (or the meal of your choice), bake something, play a video game, do a puzzle, do a hand craft. write something else in an entirely different format. like, don't go starting AN ENTIRELY NEW STORY, but like, try writing a poem, or something you don't usually do. in high school i used to write random haikus, about stuff in my room, just to write something short. make lists, Of Things, unless lists are stressful. maybe go back over your notes, if you have notes for what you're writing, see if you need to make More notes. read something else, read something new!!

often, what makes me the most excited about writing and creating and makes me want to do something is reading something really well done, like a book i really liked or a fanfic that i thought was perfect or a fascinating character take. good writing makes me so thrilled to go out and make my own words. (but also, bad writing makes me INCENSED to go out and write something better.)

sometimes, it helps to talk things out with somebody else!! even if the person doesn't know anything about the story. sometimes just saying the words Out Loud help focus them in your brain. i wind up going 'okay mom bear with me for a hot minute. i'm going to describe this plot bc i am having a hard time.' and five seconds in i say 'OH SHIT' because i've figured something out, just from saying it out loud and trying to explain it. even just talking out loud by yourself can help!!

but, other sometimes, you gotta just start putting words down. even if you don't know what possible word you could start with, or where you could go, and you feel like you'll never figure it out, you just gotta put something down. because, then you have at least one word or one sentence that didn't exist before. that you created!! it might not be perfect!! but something new exists now, instead of nothing!! sometimes you really do just have to drag the words out, one by one.

[aizawa-needs-coffee]

Hi!! Could I have a matchup please? I'm 18, pronouns she/her, I'm fine w any gender though I have a preference for males

If its of any relevance, physically I'm about 5'8 tall and on the chubby side, green eyes, brown hair (with blonde streaks) and I wear glasses

If you're into astrology/ mbti, I am a Sagittarius w both moon and rising in Cancer and I'm INFP

So I'm quite emotional lol. Usually very in touch with my emotions and quite perceptive of other's feelings as well. I have a huge saviours complex especially when it comes to feelings (i love helping others figure out their feelings, being a shoulder to cry on or even offering comforting hugs) but I try my best to keep it control cause I don't wanna be suffocating

On the outside I'd say I'm fairly organized, I keep my room clean and all of that, I'm a lil bit of a perfectionist but mentally I'm all over the place. I tend to get carried away by thoughts and emotions and end up procrastinating a lot; anxiety makes it all worse. In short, I suck at time management

To most people I may seem quiet and reserved but I actually really enjoy talking to people; I'm really insecure about not being funny or interesting enough tho. Around my friends I'm more relaxed but still have moments of self doubt

I can also be quite obsessive. If something really catches my interest I won't stop until I search all there is to know about it. For example I watched bnha, read the manga, the spin offs etc all in less than a month and now I'm indulging in fanart and fanfics because I need m o r e c o n t e n t hsbsb. I'm also that kind of person that listens to a new song they like on repeat until they hate it. Speaking of music, I can't say I have a taste lol. My fave genres are rock, pop and indie but I hear smth I like, I listen to it, whether its "high quality" music, basic or weird. Lately I've been listening to a lot of epicore which is literally the type of music thats used in fantasy and sci fi movies askfkdk

I like expressing myself through writing, singing and dancing but I really can't say I'm talented at either of those, it's all in good fun. I also enjoy reading (fiction, non-fic books bore me like hell; my fave genres are fantasy, sci fi and crime) but I haaate literature in school. I'm actually a bit of a math nerd and this year I'm starting uni, studying computer science!! Oh! I've also taken drama classes for 2 years (despite the fear I loved being on stage and plan on starting again once I'm done w the baccalaureate), I love playing D&D and while I woulnd't quite call myself a gamer, I love role playing video games. I'm also almost always down for any kind of multiplayer video games w friends although I have no experience

I'm not a sportive person, I go on walks or do a few exercises every now and then at home but I'm willing to try stuff out like a new sport or going to the gym w an s/o. I do plan on starting self defense classes soon and maybe taking up sword fighting (I love swords hehe)

Tbh I've never been in a relationship so I'm not really sure how I would act w an s/o, nor what I'm exactly looking for. I best express my affection through physical touch tho and that includes my friends so I'd like someone who isn't bothered or can get used to that (s/o would still receive the most hugs/ cuddles etc). I'm not that comfortable w the other love languages for friends and family, but I think I'd be a lot more eager to express my love through them for s/o. If I'm on the receiving end, my weakness is still physical touch :)) but I also need words of affirmation every now and then cause insecurities 🌠 and while I wouldn't ask for anything, especially objects, I am a hoarder and I'd keep any kind of gift like its a national treasure simply bc its from someone I love.

In addition, it doesn't really matter if s/o is more on the emotional or rational side a long as they dont invalidate my feelings; it angers me a lot and makes me feel even more insecure. I tend to isolate when I'm really really upset about something so I need a lil bit of pushing to talk abt it; I'm open to talk abt my feelings but I need the verbal confirmation that they care and wanna help, its not just cause they're being nice

Wow that is a lot of rambling jeez ajsjsjs sorry. Thank you so much if you've read throught that all and ty for the match up!!

Me and my wife literally having a ten minute debate on who we’d pair you with before I made my choice. Thanks for all the details and I hope you enjoy the match up!

I match you with Sero

I feel he’s outgoing and extroverted enough to help you with your anxiety and always reassure you that you are good at things and he does love you, he’s also so chill and laid back that even if you were clingy he’d not mind, he’d embrace it, his chill nature would help balance you. He would help you feel grounded and have a ‘you don’t have to do it all now’ attitude but would happily help you out. You need help going to the store? He remembers the list you wrote, having trouble fitting in lunch while you study? He’ll come to your door with pizza.

He’s determined and outgoing but isn’t aggressively positive and loud either which I think is why I picked him over Kirishima for you.

+++

“Hey babe, whatcha reading?” Sero asked sitting next to you on the sofa, he handed you a soda which you gratefully took, not looking up from your laptop screen.

As soon as he was sat down comfortably your hand grabbed his, clasping your fingers together as you managed to tear your gaze away from the Wikipedia page which was still open. You blinked up at him and shook your head.

“Oh just something I learned about today and wanted to do some.. extra reading” you explained.

He nodded his head and drank his soda watching as your face lit up as you started to ramble about the topic, he didn’t really know much about it but the way you told him about everything, the way you happily expressed your interest towards the topic made him happy. He gave you his big grin when you finished.

“Sorry, I rambled..” You felt bad, you always felt nervous when you info dumped on people.

“Nah, it’s cool, I didn’t mind at all” he brought your hand up to his face and gave it a kiss, your face flushed at the gentle gesture which caused Sero to laugh playfully.

“Well, if your sure… I just wanted something to take my mind off chores”.

“It’s the weekend, you don’t have to rush anyway.. and if you don’t feel better by tomorrow I can help, you can wash the dishes and I’ll dry?” he suggested still peppering kisses on the back of your hand before you set your laptop down and crawled closer to him.

You nodded softly, that sounded a lot more manageable, you felt your anxiety settle down from a raging nagging feeling to something easier to tolerate. He was such a good influence on you. Sero set down his drink and wrapped his arm around you, pulling you closer to his chest.

“The guys want to come over and say hi later, maybe get pizza… but I can tell them not tonight if you aren’t feeling it… maybe you can play that new game you got? I liked watching you play the other night” He suggested as he nuzzled your head, enjoying how your hair felt on his face.

“Maybe… can I give you an answer later?”

“Yeah, no rush babe”

You smiled softly feeling the lanky boy kiss the side of your head and listened as you carried on talking about the trivia of your current interest.

Pokemon All-Stars: A Fan Region/Game/Alternate Universe Idea

I like watching and rewatching Original Pokemon Game/Region videos. Like Mr. Buddy's "What if X was a Pokemon Region" and stuff like that. I wanna make-or, I guess, write-my own. Since Regions are kind of a character all their own and I'm a Wannabe Character Artist, I wanted to try and make one my own.

I've got no skills in coding, pixel arts, or anything, so this will forever be just some kind of dumb fanfic that sometimes incorporates Game Mechanics to justify things if it were able, for some Godforsaken reason, 'stolen' for a game. Cause, in 2021, no idea feels too big or too dumb. And, uh, trust me, this'll be a dumb fanfic of an idea. So be aware for the subpar writing talents of some wannabe writer who doesn't know shit.

Small disclaimer though:

>This region is being made with the intention that every extra feature will be available in it. Z-Moves, Regional Variants, Gygantamax, Mega Evolutions, and maybe some things I've forgotten. This probably won't matter cause it's just a dumb fanfic plot bible with mechanics peppered in. Competitive balancing be damn! Pokemon Fans can create their own balance! That's what the Battle Simulator is for! In fact, if this was a real game, then it'd have a Battle Simulator like Showdown built into it.

>This is an open source Fanfic Bible. You can take this idea and run with it if you want. You can omit all my bad ideas even!

>I won't be making my own Fakemon. I don't like a lot of Fakemon that exists out there and, trust me when I say this: I am no better than them. In fact, I'm fucking worse.

>If this WERE a game, it probably WOULD still have to cut some Pokemon. I doubt that kinda, and I won't get into why I think dexit was dumb personally, cause it doesn't really matter. But, like, my fan game/fanfic will have a lot of shit going on in it. So, like, realistically, there would probably need to be a cut, if not for data, than just cause there's a lot of work to do as is. But, like, again, under the context of a fic, this wouldn't be an issue.

>With THAT said, I'd want this game to have a Gen 2 Sprite aesthetic. My fangame, don't care if ya'll don't like that.

>I'm probably gonna copy a LOT of stuff from other Fangames I've played. My shit memory probably won't allow me to remember what I'm biting from what, so be free to call me out whenever. Cause if I stole the mechanic, I probably liked it the game. And if not, well, I'd like the recommendation.

Fuck, this was long already. The rest is under the cut, so, like, if you're already turned off, you can stop reading. I understand. I'm kind of a windbag.

Okay, so how many of you guys have seen this picture on the internet? It's a picture of a ton of Pokemon regions all...basically stitched together, since not only could this never be canon, but this goes beyond the size of even most open world games today. But this was the inspiration for this project. The map probably wouldn't, and probably couldn't, look like this, but it perfectly sums up what I'd want out of this game. Thus, it'll be our placeholder.

Our hometown of Capricorn Town is home to Professor Chestnut, and you, her faithful assistant, are about to set off on a Pokemon adventure of your own! The Professor is encouraging you to see the region of Sidus for yourself and is even willing to give you a Starting Pokemon!

Starting Pokemon

Now, if I'm not making new Pokemon, which Starter will it be? Well, the game will have the data for all the starters and will randomly select a Grass, Fire, and Water Type for you to choose from. Those will be your starters, with the option of also choosing Pikachu, Eevee, and Riolu, the two mascot mons...and Riolu, who is kind of a mascot mon, but a lesser one.

Let's say for this example, your options are Torchic, Piplup, Rowlet, Pikachu, Eevee, and Riolu. And, uh, get used to the words 'random' and 'generator', those are our keywords.

Anyway, once you get your pick, there'll be some kind of tutorial mission the Professor will send you on. This will introduce you to two very important things;

1. One of your Rival.

2. An Evil Team Grunt.

Rivals?!

Now to start getting into why this game might still be pretty big still be big despite the sprites on modern consoles.

Each of your Rivals would be one kid from each region of the 8 Mainline Games from Kanto to Kalos. How this'll be decided is that each pair of kids will be plugging into a generator and will pick between either the boy or girl version.

Ex. Brendan and May both cannot be in the game. Instead, they'll be plugged into this generator. Let's say the generator fell onto May. She'll be one of your Rival. Repeat this process 7 more times until you have 8 Rivals sprinkled throughout the world, each one given a defined personality and better AI to make them harder trainers to fight.

May will have one of the Hoenn Starters, sans Torchic. Regardless of whether or not Protagonist-San picked Torchic, May will either have a Treecko or Mudkip, again, chosen at random per kid. Whichever Starter you picked, your first rival will have a starter that beats yours. So, let's say moving forward, May has a Mudkip and you a Torchic. The other kids will have random starters of the various regions they originally hail from.

Anyway, your rivals will wander the overworld. If they see you, they'll battle you on sight. If they lose, they'll be gone after the next time you turn the game off. They won't battle you again until they respawn, but you can hang out with them. In fact, you can even recruit them to be in your party for a few days and they'll follow you around and just generally be your friend. It'll make every battle a double battle, but they'll battle you again before their timer runs out, so be prepared!

BANG! BANG! ENTER! Team Wild!

The two of you will have to face off against Team Wild! They have a Cowboy theme to them, using a mix of Ground and Steel-Types, with a few Pokemon being added in for good measure like the Ponyta Lines, Cacnea Line, and Remoraid. Cause...it's a gun.

They're an outlaw gang, they're rough and tough (or, at least, a mild threat) and will always throw down when they spot ya. Something I'm just sniping from JelloApocalypse is that they'll appear sporadically and act as Timed Events across the map.

You and your new Rival beat them and send you packing. I'd imagine May and the other Rivals would mostly be friendly, but I'm sure there's one or two that'll just be jerks to you. Regardless of personality, they'll be pretty tough and programmed to skill with you. Your strongest mon you have on hand when you fight them will be the level their entire team.

With your tutorial done, the world is opened up! Your mom gives you your running shoes, some Pokeballs, and your...I don't know, PokeCelular or something, just the regional gadget that does a bunch of stuff. From holding your map to holding your VS Seeker.

The PokeCelular will also give you notifications on where Team Wild are! You can choose to ignore the events, but if you do, then they'll start to appear in the overworld know and will get progressively stronger.

A Balancing Act

This game will be an open world, 8-Bit Sprite Game for you to explore after you leave Capricorn!

So how do we balance that?

Well, we got our Rival out of the way already, so let's move on. Gym Leaders will have a pretty linear progression. However, regardless of which Gym you tackle first, they'll all be at the same level.

It doesn't matter if you decide to go across the map and battle the Bug Gym, he'll stay at Level 10, just like the Normal Gym. Whe you get the second badge, they'll all jump to Level 15. NPC Trainers will follow the same progression; the higher your badge number, the stronger the number of Pokemon they'll be.

Wild Pokemon will also get stronger. The more badges you get, it'll attract stronger wild Pokemon because they'll see you're stronger and will come out more.

The overworld will also have various dungeons in them that'll be Level Locked. Say, you go through a forest and you're just trying to reach the end of a maze. The Trainers and Pokemon will function the same as I've mentioned before. But, you can decide to go deeper into the dungeon. These Pokemon will be level locked, usually something of a high level, because this is a more dangerous part of the dungeon. But, there'll be some goodies down there, like rarer Pokemon and some kind of really rare and good item like a TM or something.

How will you traverse? Well, first of all, HMs? They're semi-back. BUT, instead of having to deal with teaching Cut to a Pokemon, you just need the move Cut and a Pokemon that can use the move and you'll be able to use Cut. A few other Pokemon that are reasonable candidates, but don't get cut, will be allowed to do this too. Like, Gallade can use Cut. It can't learn the move, but just holding the HM will get the job done.

Controversial opinion, but I think I've always liked the idea of HMs. On paper, they give you a reason to explore the world and go back to areas you couldn't before for goodies and make for a good way to get off dungeons until you get the needed item. Even something like Cut can be used to open up new areas for exploration for your squad of mons.

BUT, well, HMs suck. As moves, they suck save for, like, 2...MAYBE and they're only for, like, a handful of areas. You either hand them out as evenly as possible, forcing mons to take moves you don't wanna use, or you just get an HM Slave or two to use 'em all. But like they, they serve their function and all you need is the Pokemon in question and NOT teach them the move. If you need a Move Deleter just so people aren't stuck having to use Rock Smash for three towns, then there's a problem with your RPG. Imagine playing Final Fantasy and you had to give your Fighter the Bronze Axe to get through a forest and still had to fight with it, even though you got a +12 Silver Sword! It's no wonder people hated these things! But I don't think getting rid of them and introducing Rental Pokemon was a good solution either and adds a different, albeit less intrusive problem.

Gym Leaders

So, how do Gym Leaders work?

Much like your rivals, they'll be randomly generated. Let's say, hypothetically, there's a pool of 60 Gym Leaders and Elite Four members. The game will randomly generate 16 to be Gym Leaders. The generator will have some kind of complicated math (at least, too complicated for me) so that you don't have more than 2 gyms of the same type. (Example: Misty and Nessa might be Active Gyms, Siebold can't be selected for a Gym cause the Water Slots are taken).

As a trade off, some Gyms might have special conditions before you can challenge them. Like, if you got stuck with Koga as a Gym Leader, than he'll only let you in if you complete a nearby dungeon and help his daughter out cause he doesn't trust her to make it back on her own. Or, like, Claire's a Gym Leader, but she won't battle you unless you've collected 7 Gym Badges prior at least.

The Gym Leaders, as mentioned before, will get progressively stronger with each badge obtained. After the 8th badge, you can go and climb Victory Road, face the E4 and confront the Champion! You can keep hunting Gym Leaders, but just remember that the E4 will always be 10 Levels above the strongest gym you beat. And they'll just get stronger with every one you beat until all 16 are slain.

Another handful, let's say 8, Gym Leaders/E4 Members will be wondering around as NPC Trainers. The justification is that this big super region is in some Alternate Universe Pokemon Game that has all the Pokemon and other important trainers in it, hence why we can have a game where Roxanne and Lenora are hanging out at a coffee shop. They're not Rivals, more like stronger NPCs you can rematch and wonder the map. They're not here to be the very best like no one ever was.

I mean, I'd like, like, 10-20 instead of 8 extras, but let's not get TOO greedy...yet...

Elite Four

And now, it's time to flip the script. Cause if E4 members can be Gym Leaders, then who are the Elite Four?

Easy. The Rivals.

All the Rival characters will be put in a random generator as well. The four that are chosen. You can have an Elite Four made up of Wally, Marnie, Hau, and Barry and you gotta deal with it.

This is excluding Brendan and May, Blue, and Calem and Serena. Anyone else is fair game.

Champion

So, the Champion. Who would it be in this? There was a funny idea I had, but this is a Pokemon Game. So there would be two versions. We'll call them Pokemon Dawn & Dusk. The difference between these games is the game Champion!

Benga would be the Champion of Pokemon Dusk, the grandson of Alder! His final Team will include Volcarona, Garchomp, and Dragonite, Pokemon he used in Black and White. I'd also include Scrafty, Rampardos, and Golurk, Pokemon used against you in White Treehollow and Black Tower areas.

Meanwhile, the Champion of Pokemon Dusk will be Zinnia, the Lorekeeper! Her team would include the Goodra, Tyrantrum, Altaria, Noivern, and Salamence she used in her original team, with her plucky Whismur sidekick becoming an Exploud and her ace.

You would've met them in the beginning of the game and would've showed off a bit by helping you with Team Wild before. They'll pop in and out throughout the game, at first amused by your tenacity, but not wanting a rookie like you to get hurt. But if you keep bonking Team Wild, they'll be impressed with how strong you are.

The show up to chat again when you beat 8 Gym Leaders, and will pop in if you White Out to give you some advice. White Out three times and they'll feel bad for you and give you an egg. Benga will give you a Larvesta Egg and Zinnia a Bagon Egg.

EXTRAS

So I don't got a lot of ideas for the Post Game, but there is one idea I thought would be cool if, if after you defeat the champion, they give you a call. They'll tell you that there are strong trainers wondering the Overworld and to be careful.

Because dotting the overworld will be Champions passed and proper! Cynthia, Blue, Lance; all of them are rocking Lv 100 Teams and are out for blood. They won't challenge you, but if you talk to them, there will be no backing out of the battle! You come with your A-Game!

sI'm not exactly in love with the idea of Team Wild. Maybe the Evil Team should go full fanservice and just be Team Rainbow Rocket. Or maybe go half-and-half; having past Evil Team members and leaders walk around in cowboy gear and acting as Team Wild executives.

I'd also would love Tournaments. Like, maybe that could be a weekly event in some town, they'll how tournaments and the characters that aren't designated as Gym Leaders and such will attend. Maybe there's a cash prize, maybe you'll win Pokemon Eggs of rare, guaranteed shines, or maybe you'll get some kind of important quest items.

Yeah, I want quests! All sorts of side quests! And can't forget what I'd do with Legendairs;

If you know Bengal's team, you'll know he's got the Lati Twins. I don't like that personally and would prefer Legendaries to be Super Bosses. Like, you gotta do a lot to find them. And when you do, their stats are boosted and they become an Uber Boss! You catch them in a cutscene after you beat them!

There's also just a ton of characters I didn't get around to or really have a place for. Emma, Looker, N, and the Stat Trainers all come to mind. Overall, I'd want them to pepper the world as well, but don't have anything to say except this: Pokemon has made a lot of memorable characters. Both good and bad. And this is probably my dream Pokemon Game; one where you can hang out with your favorites

Beach day oopsie...

(Victor × Mc, SFW)

These days both you and Victor had bin working hard, day and night, so Victor invited you to the beach for the weekend. You happily agreed. When you came to his office at Friday, 5 P.M. he said:

"I packed everything you and I will need. So let's go now."

You were a little shocked, but just a little bit. So you went out of the office, said goodbye to Goldman and went in to Victors car. You were smiling for like 20 minutes now.

"Look at you, all happy." He kept his eyes on the road.

"How couldn't I be? I haven't been at the beach for like, forever!" You looked at him and rubbed your eyes.

Victor just chuckled a bit at that. After that you fell fast asleep.

"Sleep tight." Victor murmured.

After a long drive You finally reached your destination! Victor woke you up.

"AH! SOMEONE KIDNAPPED ME!" You blurted out in your half asleep state.

All the people who were walking near the car heard that.

"What am I going to do with you?" He sighed.

"Are we there yet?" You yawned.

"Yes, Mc we're there." He got out.

You sprung out of the car. You and Victor both grabbed your stuff and went in to a 5 star hotel. The inside of the building was so gorgeous and fancy! When you got to your room you were even more astonished. Everything was so elegant, even the toilet seemed to be whiter than usual toilets! And the balcony view... You could not lay your eyes of it, the city was beautiful and it was night time so it was even more glamorous! Then when you came back to earth.

"Victor... How much did this all cost!? I fell like I owe you a lot..." You glanced at him

"That doesn't matter, and no, you do not owe me anything."

You only rolled your eyes and laid on the bed. The silk sheets looked like they were worth 4000 dollars. After a good night sleep, you agreed with Victor that you will go to the beach. You went in to the bathroom to change. When Victor saw you in your bright red 2 piece bikini, he said to Him self:

"I'm one lucky guy."

But he didn't say that out loud. He only blurted out:

"Let's go, Mc."

When you went to the beach, it was PACKED with people.

But somehow, you managed to find a good spot. Victor laid down.

"Victor! Let's go swimming!" You said joyfully.

Victor got up, took your hand and you both went to have a little swim together. You nearly drowned a couple of times, but Victor was there to save you.

After that you went to an ice cream truck at the beach. When you were getting back... YOUR BIKINI BRA SOMEHOW GOT UNTIED AND IT DROPPED ON TO THE SAND! You were like this until Victor noticed (it took him only 3 seconds). A lot of men were staring at you from a safe distance. But one guy was a lot closer than the others. Victor seemed to be so furious, that you thought that smoke will come out of his ears at any second. He was behind you so, he covered your breasts with one hand, looked at the guy who was staring at you and said:

"Watch where you're looking, creep. Don't stare at another mans woman. I don't want to start a fight here, but if this happens ever again you will be sorry."

Victors tone was like a demons. The guy turned bright red and in a fast pace walked away, not turning back. Victor picked up your bikini bra and looked at your face. It was all bright red and... You were getting teary eyed. Victor hated seeing you like this.

"How embarrassing..." You didn't dare to look at him.

Tears were about to spill all over your face. Victor, still covering your breasts turned you to his chest:

"It's just an oopsie. Don't get worked up about it."

You looked up at him, you didn't have tears in your eyes, but your face wasn't a face anymore, It was a BEETROOT.

"Yeah, your right! And besides I've got you by my side, Victor!"

He kissed your forehead and put your bra on... without flashing anybody..? (Turns out this is his true superpower...)

You were on the beach until the sun came down and merged with the water. At that moment you grabbed Victor's hand, put your head on his shoulder and said:

"I'm so glad that I have you and will ALWAYS have you by my side...

"Me too, mc. I fell like I'm the happiest man in the world when I'm with you..."

Thank you for reading my third fanfic!

For inspiration I looked at this picture! Just reimagined it!

Like always at one point my brain went "Auto-mode". (Sorry if there were little mistakes here and there!)

P.S - you can ask me to make a fanfic that YOU wanna hear! I'd be happy to make it!

[melonbread96]

Know more about us!

💛I took the questions here, because I don't really wanna bother with making my own.

If anyone wants to still ask us questions, we are all still willing to answer them.

~~~

💚Melon

1. Who is the cuddliest?

I'd say Angel, he's a lot more cute and cuddly than people know. ❤

2. Who is the most romantic?

I'd like to believe that I'm the most romantic. I wuv my pineapple. ☺💕💕

3. Who is the most feminine?

Maybe me, because I'm a girl? I'm not very girly though. I guess it could be Angel. Sorry Angel, please don't be offended. 😅

4. Who is the most opinionated?

Um. Wow. Angel is going to be so pissed, because he's extremely opinionated. He'll immediately tell me what he thinks of someone. It doesn't matter if we barely know them.

5. Who is the biggest nerd?

Me! I love gushing over stuff, and reading lots of fanfics. I really love star trek and super hero movies.

6. Who is most likely to lie?

Maybe Fin? That's such a difficult question. I think Fin is a sweetie, but sometimes he tries too hard to keep the peace between everyone, even if it means not telling the full truth.

7. Who is the most misunderstood?

It's definitely Angel. Everyone seems him as only a very aggressive hot tempered person. He's more than that to me, and he has a very gentle kind side to me. I almost feel like he tries hard to keep up this image, of someone to be afraid of, because he wants to keep us all safe. I would however want everyone to like my boys.

8. Who has the biggest sweet tooth?

Definitely Angel. I mostly go for things like chips and popcorn. Angel loves snacking on chocolate and any kind of sweet candy. He kinda tries to hide it, but he has a strong sweet tooth.

9. Who is the most protective?

Angel! Angel! Angel! XD

10. Who is most likely to solve a mystery?

I'd like to think that I'd be good at solving them. I really enjoy watching mystery shows, and trying to figure out the bad guy.

1. Who is the cuddliest?

Despite popular belief, I'm sure you all immediately assume it's Melon. Since she's got a girlfriend. Because of the trauma she doesn't like touch, and it will be a big hurdle for anyone dating her.

I'm kinda okay with it. I just let it happen.

The obvious cuddliest person is Fin, he's like a fucking octopus.

2. Who is the most romantic?

Melon. Lol. You should see how she acts with J, it'll give you diabetes.

3. Who is the most feminine?

Not Melon. Lol. She's very tomboyish.

I know immediately the guys will think of me. I'm more concerned with looking nice, and being presentable.

4. Who is the most opinionated?

Fuck off, you god damn dick bags. I know everyone is writing me.

5. Who is the biggest nerd?

I'd say it's a tie between me and Melon. We're really into our ships, and anime stuff. Both of us get nerdy about super heroe stuff sometimes. It's something we both have in common.

6. Who is most likely to lie?

Totally not me. If I don't like you, I'll tell it to your fucking face.

I'd say Melon, mostly because she doesn't like hurting anyone's feelings. She also doesn't like worrying everyone.

7. Who is the most misunderstood?

This is me isn't it? Both of them keep saying that people misunderstand me, and that I'm a nice guy. I mean, I've gotten into my share of fights, and I'll yell at people. It's really who I am I guess. If people misunderstand, then they're not really paying attention or painting their own narratives.

I've also had people compare me to that anime guy... you know which one.

8. Who has the biggest sweet tooth?

Melon. She's eating so much damn junk food.

9. Who is the most protective?

Well me, duh. I'm proud to be the biggest protector of this system, and if anyone fucks with it. I'll kick their fucking ass.

10. Who is most likely to solve a mystery?

I'd say most likely me. I'm usually the person who over analyzes a show, and will most likely figure it out before everyone else.

💙Fin

1. Who is the cuddliest?

Totally Angel, he actually seeks out physical intimacy through touch. He will probably never admit it. 😂

2. Who is the most romantic?

I'd say it's both Melon and me. Melon is like really adorable with her girlfriend and it's very sweet. I'm also the type who's very loyal, and try to do like old fashioned dates and dinners. I like trying to impress someone and doing everything to get someone to like me. 💕

3. Who is the most feminine?

Angel. 😂😂😂 He spends more time trying to look perfect, and he's always complaining if his hair isn't right. I also know he's the type that really likes bubble baths, and reading something in the tub.

4. Who is the most opinionated?

Am I going to get into trouble with this question? I kinda want to say myself, because I know Angel will kill me... 😅

5. Who is the biggest nerd?

Oh that's Angel. Sometimes I try to pay attention, but I don't really know what he's always fan boying about. He's got all this interest in anime and such, but I don't really keep up with everything.

6. Who is most likely to lie?

Um, me? I don't really like hurting people's feelings or making people upset.

7. Who is the most misunderstood?

I'd say that Angel is very misunderstood. A lot of people see his protective side, and just see him as someone who's very scary. I think Angel is very sweet and loving, and cares about others more than he does himself. I absolutely hate it when someone talks badly about him. 💔

8. Who has the biggest sweet tooth?

Oh definitely Angel. He's always sneaking some kind of chocolate in his mouth, and eating when he thinks nobody notices. It's always something sugary.

9. Who is the most protective?

It's obviously Angel. He really cares about all of us, and wants to make sure we're all safe. 😃

10. Who is most likely to solve a mystery?

I think Angel. He's extremely perceptive and good at spotting liars. Since he's also into writing, he also looks at character motivation and spotting details we might overlook.
