OLLO!

I have both an oddly specific ask AND a dark ask

For the sister padawan 🥰

What is your OC's "villain song"?

and!

What do they notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at them?

😘💜💜💜

Hello sister padawn

I had to really think of some of these

For Grace's villan song. For me Grace has two villian moods, either eldritch horror or Evil Queen.

For Eldritch Horror, a very possesive unhindged Grace, someone who would cast mass illusions on the world or her loved ones to "Keep them safe", "Counting Body likes sheep to the Rythm of the war drum" by Perfect Circle.

For Evil Queen, an equally unhindged but calulating Grace, someone who would burn the republic to the ground and rebuild it into a... Empire for her loved one. "I am going to give this wretched galaxy the Queen it Deserves" : Paint it Black (Femle vocals) by Hidden Citizans.

Grace notices her scar first, the distinct lightning shape and claw marks going down her shoulder. She can add her curltural tattos to project the air of confidence and acomplshment as much as she wants, her eyes will always go to that scar first.

For others its her eyes, the bright green that glow, glowing brighter when she uses her abilities. Her eyes are so expressive, changing shades of green with her moods.

I loved doing these friend, thinking of Sith/Evil Grace was fun because she flirts with that edge quiet often, its one of her major struggles.

OH BOY are you talking my language 👀

Crenic Namalen

Overgrown - It's a song I feel it's so fitting for Crenic for that Hopeful, Overcoming his struggles kind of vibe.

And I've been hiding for so long With only darkness everyday I'm gonna crawl to the morning sun And let it warm every part of me

I Love the Way You Say My Name - This one perfectly captures his feelings for his husband. Crenic would, and has, done very extreme things just for Rin's safety.

I would sin for you to take me in your arms Sell my soul for you, keep you safe from harm For a single kiss I would start a war You're the only cause that I would die for

More Characters under the read more so it doesn't get too long.

Rune Nightfall

Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rythm of War Drums - This song is basically Kirash whispering in his mind. Perfect.

Don't fret precious, I'm here Step away from the window, go back to sleep Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils See, they don't give a fuck about you like I do

Big Bad Wolf - Similar, but I feel like this one is more about Rune himself and his struggle with Kirash and of losing his sense of self.

You see I am the wolf And this dirty, little piggy lives inside of me You see every now and then I forget which one that I want and which one that I need

--

Azha Eridani

Devil's Backbone - I've mentioned before how this song perfectly captures Azha's feelings for his tribe's Nuhn. A man he greatly admires but has a divisive presence in the tribe itself.

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose He did what he had to do Oh he did what he had to do

--

Cain Starlight

Justice for Saint Mary - Cain's main conflicts in life come from living between struggling with addiction, the desire, the need, for that very drug that is also a medicine for him, and the wish to keep his mother safe despite everything leading to abandoning her.

Confession in real time Lies could have been mine Naked are words that Are dressed up in truth Light up with voices Screaming your choices All that was lost just To keep you from harm

--

Nuriel Hailstorm

Kevlar Skin - Nuriel is very much a man hurt and hardened by his life, who's between the need to keep himself closed and safe, and the desire to be seen and understood.

'Cause underneath this kevlar skin I am waiting for you to uncover me And in this armoured prison cell, I'm hiding my scars Come discover me

Hello! 3, 13, 14, 15 and 19 for the end of year fic ask please? :D

HI AZA!!! I MISS AND LOVE YOU!!!! <3 <3 <3

3.

Favorite scene:

The "Vader being off of Sith Drugs" scene from Darth Vader Goes to Therapy. I've plotted that scene for well over a year, and I cried laughing as I wrote it. The aftermath scene was fun, too!

13.

Favorite writing song/album:

Ok. So. This depends. While I am actually writing, I've started listening to Star Wars Ambience videos on Youtube, specifically from this channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUJNXs8C4pM&t=2350s

They usually do a version with just the ambience from that planet, and a version with ambience and matching music. It's been really helpful to get me in the mood when I'm writing something that I don't necessarily have a song inspiration for and I need to hyper focus.

As for coming up with scenes while I'm driving to work or taking a "inspiration walk" (a walk specifically with the intent to flesh out scenes/ideas), I do a lot of skipping around on my playlists, so it's hard to pin down specific inspiration, but here's a few songs that inspired some stuff recently:

All Gone: https://open.spotify.com/track/6zezOLouSWKEfMizbzcsad?si=b51540ee3c8f4f3f

Dancing With Monsters: https://open.spotify.com/track/33RyISdNuKSUcEUwYYXrtc?si=e9a901e2bb15404f

14.

Unexpected fic I wrote:

"To Kidnap a Prince." I've told the story before of the one reviewer who harassed me over a Luke pairing they didn't want me to write to the point I never wanted to write another Luke romance again. I have plenty of Luke ships I enjoy, so when I saw art that inspired this story, I decided to go for it, despite being really nervous about being harassed again. But it went really well! I got requests to write more of it, but I don't think I'm ready to do a long-Luke romance fic quite yet, but maybe one day!

15.

What did I learn this year:

It's okay to take a break, both from writing fanfics and from reading. Fics will still be there when you're ready to read them, and people will still want to read your fic even if you haven't updated in forever (though they may need to do a refresher if it's been a super long time lol). So, don't feel bad if you aren't able to do as much as you want to! Mental health and real life comes first, sometimes.

19.

New fics for next year:

A lot of fics are spur of the moment one shots, but I know for a few longer fics I have two that I'd like to begin next year:

1. An Uncharted AU (no playing through of the game is necessary to read) Luke is a renouned glorified treasure hunter, known for being able to track down anything. It's rumored he has the Force, but so far no one's tried to specifically kill him for that reason. Vader tracks him down because Palpatine and his Hand are searching for a Sith artifact that is rumored to give immortality. Vader wants to stop Palpatine from becoming immortal, and he wants to liberate Leia, Palpatine's Hand of the Emperor (though he doesn't tell Luke Leia is his daughter). Luke, who was separated from his sister from an early age and has always had a goal to bring her home, agrees to help...naturally without telling Vader she's his sister. So Vader and Luke secretly work together to get to the Sith Artifact first and liberate Leia not knowing that they're related to each other.

2. My next Crack fic will be where Luke, having grown up looking up to his "Spice navigator" father, decides to quite literally take after him and become a spice trafficker, too. Vader finds out his son is alive, finds out he's a spice dealer, and since he can't catch him, he starts making some very weird, very specific anti-drugs PSA's to try to get his son to give up the unsavory life of a drug dealer and instead become a murderous sith lord. Luke interprets these PSA's wildly differently than intended. Chaos ensues.

3. This one would be a really dark AU, based on the "Ruby Weapon" questline in FF14 (no playing through the game is necessary to read). Basically, Vader and Palpatine fall out, and Vader ends up splitting away and working against the Empire to the point where he sort of has his own sect of a Rebellion on his hands. However, Luke and Leia are still with Palpatine, working on a weapons project that has horrifying consequences for those piloting the weapon. Vader, upon finding out what the weapon does to its pilots, is in a race against time to prevent either of his children from taking the piloting role. This would have main character death, torture, and just sad feels all around, so it's really only for people who like a darker story.

Feel free to ask me about fics from this year!!!

"People like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live." Wind's Howling | a fanmix for Geralt of Rivia (the Witcher 3) [Listen here]

4)   a song that makes you feel strong

Oh well, BAP’s Warrior is a top song for that! And Counting Bodies Like Sheep In the Rythme of the War Drums by A Perfect Circle (also a song I listened to on repeat for maaaany days)

Wow they are really so many songs I can’t even remember them...

22)  a song for dancing

Okay for this one I have a very weird song I like to dance to mostly because I can imagine of an amazing modern choreo for it (not done or executed by me because HAHA I suck) but it’s Pink Floyd - The Trial

1, 11, 19, 23.

1. What are your 5 most played songs?

According to Itunes... Sparks by Hilary Duff which is kind of surprising but alright. Teeth by Lady Gaga. Counting Bodies Like Sheep To the Rythm of the War Drums by A Perfect Circle. Tag, you’re it by Melanie Martinez. Rev 22-20 by Puscifer. 

11. What song makes you cry every time?  

To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra. I looked it up for the artist name, heard the first few notes and it made me tear up. Awful. 

19. Using one song, tell me how your life is going.

We Hate Everyone by K. Flay. I’m very tired lately lol. 

23. Put your phone on shuffle, what song comes up first? Do you know every word to this song?

Finale from Undertale came on first and that doesn’t have words so second try is... Tainted Love which yes I sure do! I have both the original and an edgy cover on here so. Yeah.
