さよーならまたいつか！ | Kenshi Yonezu

誰かと恋に落ちて また砕けて やがて離れ離れ 口の中はたと血が滲んで 空に唾を吐く 瞬け羽を広げ 気儘に飛べ どこまでもゆけ 100年先も憶えてるかな 知らねえけれど さよーならまたいつか！

///

Fall in love, only to be crushеd once again And eventually, go our sеparate ways Blood seeps in my mouth without warning And I spit into the sky Spread your wings and soar Fly away to wherever your heart desires Would we remember in 100 years? Who cares? So long and see you again!

Helloooo just wanted to ask a few things about the hazbin soundtrack!!

1. So, were the songs recorded with a live orchestra or was it made digitally? Because the composing on all the songs, especially the finale, was absolutely grand!

2. Who played Lucifer's fiddle solo on "Hell's greatest dad"? (I think it's a fiddle at least lol)

3. Thanks for reading and I can't wait for season 2!

Yooo, sure!

1) Most of the orchestra sounds are from digital sample libraries, which consist of real live recordings, so they’re not quite digital instruments and not quite live. All of the guitars were live, as well as a smattering of other instruments. My co-writer Andrew Underberg did all the piano himself, and he has an orchestrator who works for/with him named Keith Horn who I gotta give major kudos to, who fleshed out brass, string, and woodwind sections after we finished our demos. Keith is brilliant, and we’re trying to get him permission from Prime/A24 to post some of HIS process on his YouTube channel!

2) The fiddle was a live instrument played by one of our session musicians! In this case, the super talented Kristin Weber I believe.

3) Thanks for asking! ❤️ With all the attention the show has been getting, a lot of folks have questions so I’m more than happy to answer anything that doesn’t require me to break NDA!

in honor of @iwtvfanevents a meal to remember event, here's an iwtv fic rec post with a twist: all of these fics range from 20-50 kudos ONLY. no popular fics. my blog is first and foremost a supporter of small businesses.

a song of blood and teeth by exastris_scientia (@keepoffthetardis): asoiaf au! there's nothing i like better than an intelligently written au, and this is definitely the best one i've seen in the fandom yet. i recommend reading it even if ur unfamiliar with asoiaf (i've never read a word by george rr martin and i still enjoyed this a great deal)

vacation by bandedbulbussnarfblat (@bandedbulbussnarfblat): just thinking abt this fic sends me into hysterics. never before have i been reading an armandaniel fic and sat there like "no i agree w the toxic psychopath vampire. that's a fucked up thing to do :/"

a memory is a ghost (regret, regret) by flowerplots (@enterprisery): reading this the first time knocked me backwards thru time. AMAZING louisdaniel fic written by one of the biggest brains to ever brain. flowerplot's ideas are always so unique and such a delight to read.

a memory is a memory (is a memory?) by flowerplots (@enterprisery): GOOD LORD. this is a follow-up to the previous fic that somehow made me even more insane. leans hard on the idea of not being able to trust a word being said because none of it happened but it all happened. except of course when it didn't.

when teeth bite in by patrokla: short but INCREDIBLE. my brain turns over theories abt what happened post-1973 interview and how it connects to present-day dubai like a rotissiere chicken 24/7. i love the prose in this fic especially. i think abt "[Daniel] would say it, but he’s experiencing a distinct melting sensation. He’s only barely corporeal. He's losing himself" every single day.

Who Wore it Best? by whimsy_walrus: lestat and daniel slept together in new orleans. this is canon to me. i fantasize abt hacking into rollins' computer and replacing whatever s2 script's been written w this instead

Toward the Blue Peninsula by adreadfulidea: obsessed with gen claudia-focused fics and this one has gotta be my favorite one in existence. i hope in this universe where claudia escaped to europe she lived happy eternity writing poems with emily dickenson the vampire

reliquary by weathermood (@weather-mood): LOUIS' CANE. i'm always thinking abt louis' cane. and what does the wonderful weathermood do? give me even more reason to obsess over it. this fic HAUNTS ME.

happy reading! :D

Have you heard the song the masochism tango it’s sung by tom lehrer because it reminds me of your Narilamb au

Answering this so I don’t have to answer the rest of my asks that are about songs that reminded them of my AUs, you guys REALLY like sending me songs and I’m LOVING it. I assure you I check these songs out and my lord the lyrics actually fuel my writing soul. It sounds stupid but the songs actually help me give my characters more depth and personality, so thank you ???? Especially @alittle-toosilly , omg they sent me some songs for Compulsion of Flesh AU and I gotta give kudos to them, they’re AWESOME bro. The lyrics help me visualize a lot about Compulsion!Narilamb and they really come to life

Love u guys 💗

[mallowdarling]

I miss my boys so I will rant about them cuz they're so fangtastic. . .

Lucifer is just a sad man, he wants kisses and hugs but don't know how to ask and that's okay I give it to him and also a pet on his head cuz I know it's hurting like hell. Can I tuck him in bed? I hope so, I hope he doesn't escape :((

Mammon is my everything, my beginning and my end, he's so girly pop and also so :3 yknow? He just hides it cuz he's silly but he's very >w< to me. I hope he gets paid today like 100000000000 grims and I hope somebody validates him

Levi is pathetic and cute and soggy wet cat and that's self explanatory. I think somebody should shrink him so I could carry him in my pockets or ontop of my head. Like ratatouille! But snake version!!! I think he should do the sssssss thing tbh. Like imagine imagine.. he's nervous and then he keeps accidentally prolonging his S sounds waaaaah (^o^)/

Satan is so funny haha he's all angry and he kills people I think but he's so funky talking about cats like that's the only thing keeping him from going completely delulu on his blonde head and it's also very distinctive the way he will put a whoopee cushion on the chair for you to sit and laugh his ass off. He's the number one Tom & Jerry fan me thinks

Asmo is the girliest of the girly pop but like in a maniacal way. He's actually insane and very murderous, he is a psycho but the "pretty litte" kind of way, yknow the song. He's so pretty and smart and beautiful and divine. He's very monster high, you see it don't you? But still he just needs a kiss and true love just like a princess, oh honey <3

Beel is live laugh and love. I am not great at cooking but I could make him a ramen you get what I mean cuz he deserves it. But also more than hungry he's so very sweet, he's a family guy! He's so cute that I would let him hug me even after his fangol matches when he's all sweaty and dirty, idc. He makes fly noises when his wings are out too, I know that cuz I was there when it happened, and I think that's great, super kudos for him for that. I hope he also makes the hand rubs flies do

Belphie is a BRAT! Gotta love him. He's also a psycho and an actual killer but like he said he was sorry :( I still hold that against him but I will throw that in his face and humiliate him while I hand him cookies and a glass of milk. I hope he falls face first on the floor but then stay there and have a comfortable nap. His voice is so cute the cutest I want to strangle him with my bare hands. I hate him, I want him to be happy!!! I want him so so happy just so I can ruin his happiness and leave him miserable and then restore his spirit by shaking him and giving him a kiss on the cheek and then slap his face as hard as I can. I hope he falls off a plane with a parachute in hands of course but like I want him to feel the fear

Star Wars: A really scandalous dinluke sex pollen

Total number of completed works/fandoms written in: fifteen completed works in 2023 for a total of just over 32k words; six LOTR, two SPN, two Narnia, the rest sundry & various.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: ::taps the top of this car:: you can put so much monsterfucking in this bad boy, jfc.

PERSONAL FAVORITE: Getting unblocked by the most unlikeliest of sources and FINISHING MY SUPERCORP HATESEX. uncharted territory finished FIVE YEARS LATER. This has been a weight on my shoulders for years; I always knew it ended with a sadistic Lex Luthor torturing Kara (oop), but it was time passing and The Flash (2023) that got me where I needed to be to get that banged out. I’m really really pleased how that ended, and that I actually can finish a WIP.

MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED: Bound is really exceptional. It was part of my WIP amnesty week, and a revisitation and remix of a meg masters fic I wrote in 2013 after I had a terrible life-altering accident. My favorite 2023 additions are how she can only speak in the language of Sodom at the end. It’s not a GREAT fic, but I really love Meg and I love Meg & Castiel.

MOST POPULAR: Definitely Nimona (nothing can go wrong when you're in love) with 1,200+ kudos. Y’all, the teen/gen fic in younger fandoms hits hard. OOPS. re: my deeply funny stats for the little mermaid tentacles fic with over 3k hits and 86 kudos. AHAHHAHAH. welp.

STORY WITH THE SEXIEST MOMENT: OKAY, so this is sexy specific to me: in Crave, Galadriel taunts Sauron about how he has to fuck Ar-Pharazôn (a mini love letter to my beloved 5ummit!) and this, to me, is everything: “And you’ll never enjoy Ar-Pharazôn’s little prick again,” she says, drinking in the horror of his recent memories, a soured scheme. “Your play at feigned pleasure in service to a base creature will be ash in your mouth now. You will only think of the taste of my cunt with his cock shoved in your whore mouth.” The crass words burn on her lips but she can sense how he trembles, even in this form. “You’ll hunger for the taste of me. And when he’s dead, when you’ve sucked the miserable mortal life out of him, you’ll never take a lover again for the rest of your unnatural life,” she says. “You know where your dick should be sheathed. In me and no where else.”

MOST FUN STORY TO WRITE: Okay, I traveled for work a LOT this year and one night I was feeling down and angry about the world and asked on twitter that for every like, I’d write a soft haladriel headcanon and by the end of the night, i had the bulk of a little touch in the night and I was such a happy delighted lil soul. Such a highlight of the year.

HARDEST: A tie between Crave, which was writing on hard mode since I’m violently anti dominant Sauron (oop), and uncharted territory since I had been blocked for years.

BIGGEST SURPRISE: The delicious lush connection of Celeborn/Sauron in somewhere in the haze that STARTED AS A JOKE and now I’m full rarepair conspiracy theory into it.

DID YOU TAKE ANY RISKS IN WRITING THIS YEAR? Posting SPN in 2023, lol what was that. And neither of them explicitly destiel. Girl. Both tanked but I love those two fics.

MOST UNINTENTIONALLY TELLING STORY: Okay, one of my yuletides this year is really too close to something I’m working through in therapy. Oop.

FAVORITE LINES/SCENES: Okay literally everything in atomic blonde, that fic is nonstop bangers imho. I love this especially:

“Ah, there it is,” he replies. Stops, and turns to look into her eyes. To drink in her fury. “This isn’t your world, Daughter of Eve. Take your cursed horn and your beautiful face and take the little shieldmaiden too for all I care and leave Middle Earth to me. Grow old and find joy in women’s work.” He blinks, nonsense words emerging out of him: “In Christian Dior dresses and Chanel lipstick, in Italian leather handbags and silk nylons, in handsome British officers and those American boys who offer more than kisses, in the rumble of a Jaguar and the cries of healthy babies who do not fear war. Live and die on an island far, far away.” He blinks again. “I do not want you here.”

MY FAVE PART OF FANDOM IN 2023: Repeatedly saying “you hear me, baby? hold together” at the haladriel fandom like Han Solo does to the Millennium Falcon and we did! We made it another year!!! Let’s go, 2024!!!! (YOU HEAR ME, BABY. HOLD TOGETHER.)

2024 WRITING AMBITIONS: same as last year’s: Write more steadily and consistently. Get back into the drabble mode. Make time, take time, just do it. It doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, it just has to be creating something. The joy of creation is like nothing else. Chase that high.

2024 FICS ON THE IMMEDIATE HORIZON: Jan 1 - htp trash fic exchange Feb 3 - rffa exchange March - haladriel exchange!

[sol-consort]

Again purr good choices with the orgy (and with the threesomes they're all golden). Here's who I think I would invite:

The first person I think I would invite is Kasumi because I think she would be really good in an orgy because she's extra freaky, so I think she'd eat (my pussy) in an orgy environment. Then I think I'd invite Jack and Miranda because 1. I'm in love with both of them, and they're both super duper mega hot 2. Their tension is so good it's gonna add good chemistry to the orgy. And I want to have 3 Asari guests which are Aria, Samara, and Liara (heavy on Aria I want her so bad) I feel like I don't have to explain why I want to invite them lmao. Now I'm realizing that I only have one spot left and idk who to give it too, I think this is technically cheating a little bit because it's more than 7 but I would invite Tali and Javik to watch lmao, I don't want to invite Ashley because I would be too Jelous Iol maybe if it was before we were together or something. So I think I'm gonna give the last spot to Garrus, I mean I feel like he would be standing in the corner like this 🧍‍♂️ for the majority of the event but that's my pookie and I want him there I'll let him nut in me that can be the grand finale lmao.

As for the songs, like I said I would prolly also be playing Gangbang by Ayesha Erotica, and let me think I would prolly also play brat but only some of them because if they played 'I might say something stupid' I'll start crying in the middle of the orgy, you'll catch me like this at the orgy 😞 straight up about to bawl. More Charlie xcx (The year is like 2172 or whatever the brat club remix album gotta be out by then we'll play that too purr), some SOPHIE, and some Chapelle Roan just not the the sad ones so we'll just play hot to go, naked in Manhattan, and Red wine supernova.

Finally! someone is letting Garrus nut inside them, kudos to you soldier. And I feel you a little too well on the "I don't want to invite Ashley because I'd be too jealous"

Some lovers you wanna take to orgies without a care in the world, others you'd chew the head off of anyone who gives them lusty eyes, this is completely normal human behaviour.

Great choices overall! And damn Kasumi is really great at being an unseen thief because I've completely forgotten about her existence for a hot second there. Yeah she'd love an orgy, especially a sausage feast one.

Jfowjdks, you say poor Garrus, but with three asari in the mix and 3 cute human women, I'd say he's getting the better deal. An orgy where he's the only guy? Yeah, you're spoiling this turian a little too much.

...well until Javik shows up and bursts Garrus's wet dream bubble. Javik in an orgy is like a banana in a smoothie, absolutely overpowering everything with its taste no matter how cautiously you add a small portion of it. Once Javik is involved, it becomes HIS orgy and everyone is his own personal pets, since primitves and all.

The asari might revolt and kick him out if he keeps mentioning their goddess being a prothean tho...mostly Samsara, Aria wouldn't care.

maybe I don't wanna be just friends... by Lizxcliff

Summary: “C’mon, Kat.” Mina sighs and Bakugou realizes he won’t be getting out of this conversation easily. “We all know you love him.” The blonde snaps his gaze towards his friend, eyes wide. “He’s the only one who doesn’t because he’s dense as fuck. You gotta just give it to him straight or he’ll never know, Katsuki.” Mina rests her hand on his shoulder in comfort.

“Pretty fuckin’ sure I’m anything but fuckin’ straight, Meens.” Bakugou runs a hand through his hair with a tilt of his lips.

Mina stares at him shocked before shaking her head with a chuckle.

Hungry Eyes by sweetrelief

Summary: As a guitarist for a rock band, Bakugou Katsuki finds many people throwing themselves at his feet almost nightly. None, however, have lit the same blazing fire within him as the sweet, angelic Midoriya Izuku, a supposed fan and a runaway, who'd somehow tricked the band (and Bakugou himself) into caring for him. With a spot on their bus and backstage access as they tour across the country, the lead guitarist begins to wonder if it's just the music their new addition is so big a fan of...

I'm Sad, Deku by rikuzuui

Summary: Katsuki is a famous solo artist and member of the band ĐynamiTe. Usually, Izuku comes with him on his tours as per the request of Katsuki since he has this made-up disease called 'dramatic clingy boyfriend' which means he can’t stand being too far from Izuku. However, because of Izuku’s recent record deal as a star on the rise, he couldn’t come with Katsuki on his tour. How does Katsuki cope without Izuku being with him? He sulks in a corner as he experiences what the made-up sickness calls itself.

Lost in the Music of Your Heart by RobinWriter

Summary: Bakugo froze, his hand still mid-air as he listened. There was no way it was him, but the more he listened the more sure Bakugo was. His voice was more refined than what it used to be but it was his voice all the same. Slowly Bakugo turned around to confirm what his heart already knew.

Midoriya was sitting up on that stage, his eyes were closed as his fingers expertly danced across the keys, and his entire body flowed with the music as they were one and the same, just like when he performed when they were kids. Bakugo left the bar and stumbled forward, drunk on Midoriya’s song. He pushed past people, ignoring their huffs and protests until he was nearly at the front of the stage. Bakugo’s eyes never left Midoriya for a second, memories all coming back to him in a rush, one never completing before a new one replaced it.

The Space Between by Kanae_vR

Summary: Holding his expensive camera tightly between his hands, Midoriya Izuku looked up at the once-white letters displayed on the black storefront banner. “The Hard Luck Bar,” he murmured to himself, unsure if he was getting ready to enter or flee.

Amateur photographer Midoriya Izuku is stuck in a rut and desperate for a change of pace. Deep in his city's grimy underbelly, he finds exactly what he's looking for in the form of an underground punk sensation on the verge of their big break, fronted by a foul-mouthed firework of a human being.

Loud, brash and passionate, Izuku may have just found the creative spark he needed, as well as something new to set his soul ablaze.

you left a sour aftertaste by ladyofsnails

Summary: Izuku and Katsuki aren't together anymore. To take up his time, Izuku joins his school's band club, becomes the lead singer, makes some impulsive decisions, and accidentally gets a little famous. All because he's downright heartbroken, and Katsuki isn't (or at least, he doesn't look it).

Maybe some people were just meant to find their way back to each other. It might take a few stumbles, though.

Bang Dem Sticks by Roya1Gir1

Summary: “You should just tell him.”

Izuku’s gaze slid over to the red head that weirdly appeared next to him like a ghost. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Kirishima rolled his eyes and jerked his chin to a certain blonde on the dance floor. “Oh, so you're not over here looking like someone kicked your puppy because someone is dancing with him?”

“He can dance with anyone he wants. I’m not his keeper.” He said through tightly gritted teeth as his eyes went to the blonde again.

Monsters Not Made by Lizbeth_Loon

Summary: Deku has some odd little quirks and habits, but no one would ever guess he was hiding something. No one would ever guess he was living a double life. It's not that he's a villain, or a vigilante, or a secret lovechild. It's that he's the lead singer in a band of pop-punk-rock misfits slowly gaining popularity on the local underground music scene. No one would ever guess - but they're about to find out.

Hello Frik it me, kiseki

I have literally nobody else to talk abaut this but you, so im sorry if im annoying

Ok so

The songs that represent Yeien and Red relationship is literally 'Me and my husband' by mitsky

Its literally Red describing his life and how alone and sad he feels untill Yeien walks in

Do you get what i am saying?

It literaly them! It is them-

Also another song that migth be 'Reien' related its "Duvet" by Bôa

Like it is them again!

It is literally Red Explaining that Yeien doesn’t understand love. And it is making Red even more depresed than he actually is

There will be a lot of thing to work up with Red in season 2 but you gotta wait im so sorry im also mad at me for not starting this book earlyer lol

So i hope this e-mail finds you well :D

Lol why did i say that

Ok hope you hiperfixate more on them just like i do (because it seems that you are the only one who likes my book, like you made like 15 diferent acaunts to give the book kudos like a maniac like why are you doing that lol)

Ok then now

Bye-bye

Oh my god, I have to listen to these songs. Give me a second- *FRANTICALLY LOOKING UP SONGS AND PLACING THEM DOWN IN A PLAYLIST*

Thank you! Also I definitely did not make like 15 accounts to give your fanfic kudos, nope, not at all /j

[mitzymossy33]

I’ve been listening to Yaelokre, and I gotta say, their music is amazing. I started with Harpy Hare but then branched out to most if not all their songs, my personal favorites are Hartebeest and Neath The Grove is a Heart. I really like how a lot of their songs incorporate the tune from Harpy Hare, it’s a reoccurring theme, and it kinda shows that no matter how dark and scary the songs get, it’s still Sind by the same old kids who started out with Harpy Hare. I like, despite how lighthearted the story is, songs like Hartebeest give a lot of suspense, and for Neath the Grove is a Heart feels bittersweet in a way, like it’s the ending of the story the Lark are trying to tell, where they reminisce on the memories before their time as minstrels come to an end and they grow up. I don’t know the full lore but I’m really interested! I’d also love to hear your thoughts! Kudos to Keath Osk or @yaelokre for making this amazing and enriching world!

Also, I will most definitely be using these songs as inspiration for my own worlds

Terrible Fathers The Series (Love Sea ep 3 thoughts)

i think this show is so funny. like i'm enjoying the beauty, the vibes, and the emotional moments for the first 50 minutes then suddenly BOOM peat's moaning then 5 minutes later i have a tear in my eye from fort's acting. i'm being swung around on Mame's Crazy Coaster. do not ask me what's going on. i'm having too much fun to answer.

also rip anyone who watches this ep on iq's web player. they're unable to display text in italics AND song lyric translations overtake actual dialogue. what is this terrible user experience. and you gotta pay for it!!!!!

if love sea is going to give me one thing, it's gonna be BEAUTIFUL SHOTS. my god i could go on and on taking so many screenshots of this episode especially.

i feel like we're getting more of the girls' relationship in the series compared to the book, which is a Good sign. last week's preview of 'will you be my girlfriend?' got me good. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't remember fake dating happening in the book.

and the plot gears finally start turning this week! rak gets a call from his panicked sister about their father showing up, which causes him to hole up in his room. that in turn gives us serious mut (thank u for that.. fort looks So hot when he's being stern and assertive) and the sweet star gazing scene. i don't want to say much about rak's family because i feel like i might spoil something LMAO

one of my favorite scenes so far is when they go in the waters at night my GOD IM SO GODDAMN WEAK FOR A BRIDAL CARRY I CHEERED!!!!!! and the kiss in the water was ROMANTIC AS HELL. i'm so thankful for the entire production team for this scene. the waves were so strong yet they were all in the water doing their best to film. it must've been really challenging and difficult, so kudos to everyone. i, for one, am very proud of this whole part.

someone.. more peat in glasses please!! rak waiting for mut to fall asleep so he can cuddle him is sooo cute. i love their puppycat relationship. so many soft, heart-warming moments in this episode.

now onto the series of events in mut's house. plus points for the sunlight behind them in this kiss scene. idk anything about cinematography but it felt mesmerizing in a way.

the audible OH! i yelled when they REALLY started Kissing after mut's little trauma dump. I'M NOT COMPLAINING THOUGH comfort him every ep if you want >:) i'll take as many ncs as they wanna Give. i got duped by the first quick fade to black like 'oh ok so they're not-- NEVERMIND!'

gonna go into nc detail for a second here but i'm so glad we have nip sucking this ep. i was waiting for that. love sea Does Not miss in the nc department. ALSO DUDE WHEN DID FORTS TIDDIES GET SO BIG

AND THEN the best scene this episode: emotional mut, a showcase of fort's acting ability. i teared up a bit. it was soo so soft.

the angles, the lighting. BEAUTIFUL beautiful scene. i could not put it into words how much i adored this part. mut's difficulty in asking him to stay, rak telling him to keep being himself, them stroking each other's fingers with their hands intertwined, mut's little giggle when rak agrees, rak's laugh, the flurry of kisses after.. I LOVE ROMANCE!!!

i predicted right, we're going back to the city next episode. i can't say i'm too excited because i love the island setting too much, but the dreamlike vacation doesn't last forever!! the plot must move.

also ps they fixed rak's missing audio line in ep 2. i was rewatching a few days ago and finally heard it LMAO at least they're aware...

[sir-skeletal]

Have you ever showed it to some girl?

Like in real life?

I bet she wouldn’t stop laughing hahahahaahahahah hahahahahhaa

I get you are jealous- you probably ugly inside and outside and got the smallest d in town.

Little lonely boy. Sad your mom Wasn’t smarter - there is a word called abortion- ask her - if she is still alive - I would probably kill myself - bringing such a bad input to earth (you….)

Am I right??? 😊😊

Look, I'm torn on how to respond here. Because i could talk about how this reads like an ask i would have SENT TO MYSELF back when i was a teenager a decade ago because that was when i had confidence issues, however you used 'input' to refer to someone and now my brain really just wants to respond with "sounds like something a blue haired corpo gonk would say." That's not even touching on if that last bit was supposed to be read like it's song lyrics or some sort of poem (I'll give kudos for that section, well done)

I am nearly 30. What am i supposed to say here? Am i supposed to post a dick pic? Should i go call up someone i know to get a selfie with someone on my penis? Do i just throw it back with some pithy insults to your general character as someone hiding behind a mask like a coward? This was so out of left field that i gotta say SOMETHING so it's not like i can just not respond, this was way too attention grabbing.

What kind of reaction were you aiming for? You want nudes? You want me coping and seething, to bluster about how big my cock is or something? What kind of strawman did you imagine me to be?

twenty questions for fic writers

tagged by the incomparable and enchanting @icescrabblerjerky , and you caught me while I'm already comparing writing stats for other things so this fits in well with that task ;)

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 19 baybeee

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 2,319,545. I am. Verbose.

3. What fandoms do you write for? Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Legend of Zelda, Ace Attorney, Mystic Messenger, and then I wrote the novelization of the song 6969 by Ninja Sex Party and a Caduceus character study for CR.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Indefensible (Ace Attorney) has 1,234 (HA!)

As Bright as the Stars (Mystic Messenger) has 1111 (ALSO HA)

Tearing Down the Heavens (Dragon Age: Inquisition) has 730

Hundred Years in the Making (LoZ: Breath of the Wild) has 627

We Are Ferelden (Dragon Age: Origins) has 271

Genuinely really surprised none of the Mass Effect fics are in this category, I'm so proud of those XD

5. Do you respond to comments? Absolutely always, whenever possible. lol I will also ramble at anyone that asks me questions.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably The Traveler, which I warn you from the very start has a sad ending. It's Dragon Age fic retelling the stories Solas tells of his time dreaming in the Fade, with the trappings of a Doctor Who theme in which he travels through the fade with a series of companions.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Uhhhhhhh I think probably We Are Ferelden comes closes to a happy ending? Eventually I will give my DA series an actual happy ending though. Most of them end either bittersweet in some way or as a sort of non-ending ending because I know the story continues.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I've gotten a wee bit of hate on the Zelda fic, Hundred Years in the Making, but it was fairly mild. I don't really respond to it much though because it's hard for a stranger to say something that will actually hurt my fee fees XD

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Oh yeah, sure. Most my fics contain smut of some kind. I don't really write smut without plot, though, it's gotta be a natural part of the narrative or I just lose interest.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I have not. I just haven't thought of one that caught my attention enough to want to write it down.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of. I have had some lines and suggestions used, but usually that's with credit. lol now I HAVE had jokes and things I've said stolen but that's a bit different.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope! I'd prob be open to it but I'd deffo want credited as the OG author.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! I think it's been orphaned now though lol

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? I CAN'T CHOOSE THIS. But prob Shakarian.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I will finish all my WIPs, how dare you doubt me. (The Traveler would have been my choice for this but I FINISHED IT NOW MOTHERFUCKER)

16. What are your writing strengths? Words....go many. Big words. lmao honestly I don't ever really know. I think I'm good at characterization.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Brevity.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I do it sometimes, but usually make an author's note that it's done with shitty translation software so it will not be Authentic. (if I were putting it in a novel I'd prob pay to have someone look it over, but fic is free and thus my resources put into it are limited lol)

19. First fandom you wrote for? I'm gonna assume the AU crossover I wrote for Pokemon/Dragonriders of Pern/Zelda/Narnia when I was 9 does not count. lol it was Dragon Age tho

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written? My Mass Effect series, I think. I love different things about all my fics, usually because I was doing different things in all of them, but A Name for the Stars trilogy is something that I'm most proud of. Almost every scene in that serves a plot purpose and I wove a LOT of different things together to create one cohesive thing, and I think if you can get through all of it, it has the biggest bang for the buck. Also I burned that realllll slow XD

I will tag @jusbeinkt and @kesla and @literarypeachtea and @tinkeringteacup (do it if you feel like it, no pressure here frens lol)

182 Days of TPN - Day 113

Chapter 113: “The King of Paradise”

Not being able to hear Barbara’s song is just one of the endless reasons why I still feel bitter about the second season and now that we’re getting to the later half of the story that was sorta kinda animated, y’all are gonna hear a lotta complaints about that disappointing adaptation.

Hasn’t even been a full five pages since her debut and we already know she’s a bit crazy and not a girl to mess with. Even Cislo is a bit creeped out by her habits.

Hey, Vincent, ya wanna know what pisses me off? like, really pisses me off? When an entire season totally disregards the whole middle of a fantastic story and cuts nearly half the cast and major character development, especially when said story is already finished and had no reason to divert from the source material at all. Are you aware of that? Crazy, huh? Other than that, the poor guy is practically begging them two to act a little more civilized, whereas Zazie is trying his best to communicate period.

I love how he wastes no time to give proper examples on how to better phrase their frustrations and how Norman steps in and explains when there’s confusion. Both could’ve been perfect teachers in the human world.

I know these kid’s lives are so dependent on these machines and couldn’t be saved regardless, but damn, indirectly killing ‘em off like this is still tragic. The squad just killed all the demons who run this farm, so did he really need to shut it all down? I guess new workers would just come by and start everything up again afterwards so it would be better to destroy the place completely, but still unfortunate for the kids.. and Norman’s sanity maybe. 

Typical GF kid setting stuff ablaze. Ray & Emma would be so proud.. of just the arson plan, not the many lives he just ended.

Sir, your God complex is showing.

Firstly, kudos to the kiddos for even figuring out that a bunch of random numbers were supposed to be used in such a way. Secondly, how the hell did Norman even remember the exact pages and numbers for the words he needed? I thought Ray was the one with the good memory here. Boss has gotta have a copy of the same book lying around somewhere.

Yeah, go ahead and just stab my heart one last time. Surely I can handle it. No problem. Yup. Totally fine.

Favorite panel/moment:

They have such a badass reveal, like look at this! Casually walking through a dangerous farm and killing the demons effortlessly like it’s just an ordinary day for them. Surprising that three of ‘em are only teenagers but scary nonetheless. It’s wonderful.

And yet the anime decided our first look at them was gonna be.. this? Fuck. Talk about a serious downgrade on all levels.
