rules: tag ppl you want to get to know. i played fast and loose with the categories here, it’s 2 am and i am on so much melatonin rn

tagged by: @nakedmonkey, @softdeb, @trying-to-get-somewhere-real

favorite time of year: autumn! not only is it my birthday szn (narcissist) but the weather is perfect, i look GREAT in warm tones, and it means that ski season is right around the corner and i no longer sweat profusely all day every day

comfort food: right now it’s yaki udon, but i suspect that’ll change soon…solid runners up are dumplings, life cereal, and a fried chicken sandwich from the ghost kitchen near my apartment.

do you collect something: i had MASSIVE funko pop vinyl and snow globe collections as a kid that are now stashed away in my parents basement. currently it’s shot glasses and postcards of the places i’ve traveled to since moving out.

favorite drink: for a long time it’s been kentucky mules with jack honey, but i’ve had some banging paloma’s recently (my local dive makes them into slushies) and that might just top the list.

favorite song: of all time? as the world falls down (david bowie) from the labyrinth soundtrack, inspired my first real tattoo. close second is raspberry beret (prince) bc that was my mom’s go-to hype number when we would have dance parties growing up.

favorite song (currently): i’ve been slowly working on a public concept playlist for an avadeb sweet home alabama AU for a while now, and a couple of the songs on that im obsessed with — specifically mansion of misery (miniature tigers) and pears (weston estate) which have both hit especially hard since s2 started. they’re both about hiding behind your walls and watching your heart crumble while waiting for them to just let you back in and promise to be better. ouch.

fave fics: i was gonna do all hacks but decided i couldn’t pick and also everyone else’s posted all of them and i’m not about to sit here picking favorites like they’re my CHILDREN don’t make me do that so here’s some fics from Not Hacks:

a fine line - hunnyfresh; the ice is getting thinner - @nakedmonkey (you wrote this ficlet literally a decade ago pal i STILL go back to it at regular intervals) ; most like a marsh-fire - quickyoke ; the secret’s in the telling - pyrophoric ; to this day the best thing i’ve ever read is that one hp femslash epic that hasn’t updated in six years, iykyk.

tagging: (this is a lot less than 9, i’m so late to the game and simply too lazy to remember all of y’all who’ve done it so whoops if you have i ain’t searching thru a hundred blogs) @actualhumancryptid @electric-eccentricity @damelucyjo @drpinkky @sarahstreep7 @niche-escort

10 Female Favs From 10 Different Fandoms

Thank 2 @piyo-13 for this wonderful food

1- Sophie Hatter (Howl’s Moving Castle)

She is my perennial fav. I loved her in the Ghibli movie but I stanned her in the book. Trying to explain why I love her so much has to be its own post lmao

2- Haleth (The Silmarillion)

Idk what it is about her but the combo of ‘warrior lady, famous friendship, leader in her community’ just hits smth in me. art credit @dakkun39.

3- MianMian (MDZS/CQL)

I’m gay and hate the establishment of injustice

4- Saphira (Eragon)

I’m exposing one my my earliest obsessions here lol. I haven’t reread the books in a while but I straight up never paid attention in 7th grade history I was either reading Twilight or Eragon/Eldest. Big Lizard Is My Oldest Friend.

5- Holly Short (Artemis Fowl)

I didn’t start reading Artemis Fowl until high school and disclaimer I never finished the series bc college. I love how she’s really her own protagonist and not just the other half of a Holly & Artemis duo. Also the comic design is my stickiest idea for how she looks but She’s Brown Motherfuckers

6- Amanda Grayson (Star Trek)

SPACE. MOM. God I fucking love her and hate JJA for having the audacity to fridge her. Did you know she was on the team that invented the Universal Translator? Did you know she got all kinds of shit for entering one of the first interspecies marriages and replied to rude journos with dick jokes??? Did you know she is my role model and alien lover Idol?

7- Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon)

Ok in my adulthood I know I’m more like Makoto/Jupiter (tall girl LIGHTNING abnormal femininity) but Usagi is just made of kid me dreams. Moon princess magical girl destiny child long blonde hair flowy dress and cool style true love and group of best friends forever.

8- Jyn Erso (Rogue One)

I just have a lot of feelings about found family ok

9- Avatar Kyoshi (ATLA)

Again, I’m gay and hate the establishment of injustice. Lady Strong I’m Gay.

10- Noriko Tachiki (Kanata Kara/From Far Away)

One of my best friends recced me this series years ago and I’m still mildly obsessed with it lmao. I am an absolute FOOL for “female lead gets transported thru time/into fantasy world”. She’s got romance, cool outfits, language learning finesse and unshakeable drive in the face of danger. I wish I could find more isekai like Kanata Kara and Red River and Fushigi Yuugi.

This list is in no particular order lmao. Honorable mentions go to: Furiosa (MMFR), Yuri Suzuki (Red River), Amy Dyer (In The Flesh), Adora (She-Ra 2018), Yoo Eun Soo and Queek Nogook (Faith)

EDIT: forgot to tag ppl lmaoo. Calling out @wifihunters, @mosshermit, @daydreamingaquarius and @beyondtheeluvian

#it speaks #tag memes #this meme made me dig way back and also consider how fe female characters r actually in the media i consume #and of those few female characters how little of them i actually like over the male ones like woah

If i may add to your DDlg sw post: I know a lot of us have different means of using kink and fetish as a way of reclaiming our csa, but I really wish more folx would at least include CW or TW type tags so that people who DON’T use those coping means can avoid those posts without avoiding the worker altogether. Especially considering the types of sketchy clients it usually attracts.

****dont read this if u dont wanna read about kink****

While i do agree with u on other swers giving tw/cw on their posts and avoiding sketchy buyers. there is no healthy way to “reclaim” your csa or abuse via kink/fetish/bsdm. ppl doing that say its exposure therapy but exposure therapy is for phobias not trauma, and retraumatizing yourself does more to re enforce negative than any good, its not healing the trauma, youre masking it.

Ive been thru a lot of trauma, a lot of varied trauma and we need therapists, we need help and solutions to our issues. kink/bdsm is not a tool. therapists dont tell domestic violence survivors to go get hit n beat up more, they dont force abuse victims into spaces that are triggering, so why is csa any different? reclaiming your trauma is healing, is moving past it, its accepting that its a part of you but doesnt have to be apart of your identity and most ppl in kink view it as part of themselves like i dont think kink is all bad but i hate the community greatly. i choose to be privet about it on here bc i know ppl are triggered by it, but like im using kink to have a fun sensory (sometimes sexual) experience with someone i trust/love/am close to, im not using kink to “reclaim” my traumas. kink is for fun, its for sex, its for pleasure and a sensory experience, its not something that heals trauma, its not something that gives you agency over past. abusive/manipulative doms “teach” people that it can be healing for trauma, but are often like in it to have power to control someone so its easier to control traumatized ppl if youre telling them that you can help them heal im apart of an irl physical ethical kink group of color, theres a lot of bad people, a lot of bad things, and a lot of traumatized ppl in the kink world. and a lof of the time we talk about racist/abusive/ableist doms, dungeon masters, or toxic spaces and how to change that. Its basically like we need to stop people coming to kink for “therapy” and abusive folks in the community from coming to events to take advantage of these ppl, many kink clubs/cafes and online spaces already have an abuser/rapist/racist/no entry list but that imo is not enough. its not like you cant even enjoy kink if u have trauma but its going to do more good for your soul if you leave your trauma healing for your therapist close friends/family. all csa and incest survivors deserve actual healing, true healing, so much so that we can live full lives again, and even if we do enjoy kink we need to do so in a way that doesnt promote harmful messages and that doesnt retraumatize ourselves in the process. we are deserving people, and we deserve to be happy and heal

20-30!

Thank you so much for asking!!!!

20. Favorite character to write?

Already answered, but I don’t mind re-answering cuz I thought maybe I’d narrow my three way tie, but alas, no lol. Still a tie between Ahkmenrah, Snafu, and Skwisgaar.

21. Least favorite character to write?

Ooh-tbh, Larry from NATM just because I feel like I always make him an asshole? Like, I haven’t published all my fic ideas for NATM because I keep making him really mean? And in some it works but in others I’m like ‘jesus chill Lee he’s just a Dude trying his best’ but also at the same time I feel the way Stiller played him and his character arc means he’s got some major ego to him as the films go on? Idk that isn’t a hot take or anything just me being frustrated with Ben Stiller lol

22. Favorite story you’ve ever written?

Hard choice, because I love all my kids, but I cried after writing this one lol: https://aboutthatmelancholystorm.tumblr.com/post/186781309036/you-know-that-i-love-you

It hit some personal stuff for me, so to be able to have it work organically in a fic so I could also like, mini therapy session myself? Cool af. Also, ppl seemed to like this a lot too, and while that validation isn’t the only reason I write, it’s always cool when my writing makes ppl happy.

23. Least favorite story you’ve ever written?

I don’t really have a least favorite, but I do have some I’m more frustrated with, due to how long they took me to write, etc. Currently? The answer to this is my Mark the Date series because A. it is taking me a day and an age to finish it and B. I feel like it kinda flopped, so it’s hard to pull up any energy to finish it, but like...I may as well now lol. I’ll get it done eventually.

24. Favorite scene you’ve written?

Oh god tbh I have too many I love just cuz like

I can go back to how I felt writing them and yeah

But as of most recent fics, I really this bit:

-Snafu patted the blanket near his head, and waited for Eugene to put out his pipe and lay back beside him before snuggling close to him. “You could be right. Could be God. Could just be love.” “How’s that?” “I think love has its own way. Even before you meet someone, even before you know you’re fallin’ for ‘em. Love’s just…out there, like the air or somethin’. Finds you when the time is right, and finds who you click with. You gotta do the rest, the stayin’ in love part, but that bringing together, that first spark…that’s love just existing, and doin’ what it needs to so the world keeps spinnin’, so people make it through tough shit,” Snafu replied. “I like that,” Eugene said. “Think love did a good job with us. Makin’ sure we found each other.” Snafu pressed a kiss softly to the corner of Eugene’s mouth. “Sure did. Wouldn’t ever want to be with anyone else. I don’t even know what that looks like, and I don’t want to.” “Same here,” Eugene’s mouth was warm as he kissed him back. “Here’s to love for making sure you found me.” -

from this fic: https://aboutthatmelancholystorm.tumblr.com/post/186926226531/absolution-is-the-taste-of-your-lips

Because I’m sappy af more than I let on, and also this was a chance to like, write out my own feelings via Snafu. And that was a pretty cool and fulfilling thing for me, ya know?

25. Favorite line you’ve ever written?

oh god this is another hard one to narrow down but

I always come back to this line and go ‘oh shit did I really write that. Nah, someone better than me at this had to have. They briefly possessed me or something”:

-Music and talking and shouting and footsteps collide kaleidoscopic in his ears, but none bearing the one sound that he’d run to if he heard it.-

from this fic, mentioned twice now in this post lol: https://aboutthatmelancholystorm.tumblr.com/post/186781309036/you-know-that-i-love-you

I really love alliteration, and for me this line just sums up how it feels to walk thru a city when you aren’t just wandering really, but are looking or waiting for someone, and have that awful yet sometimes good feeling of expecting to hear or see them but it feels like you’re waiting or searching forever and in the meantime the city just lives on around you, a stopped platelet stuck in a vein full of vitality. Like, idk if it hit any of my readers that way, but that’s what I was trying to get across lol, so the line always hits me hard in a good way when I scroll thru my writing tag and see it.

26. Story you’re most proud of?

Gosh

I gotta choose just one kid for this aldsfkja I’m bad at choosing I love my gaggle of ragtag goofballs. I have an original piece I’d choose for this, but I’ve never posted it on here, so I’m gonna choose out of my fanfic on here instead.

One I am really proud of is this one: https://aboutthatmelancholystorm.tumblr.com/post/186781309036/you-know-that-i-love-you

and I know it’s the third time it’s been part of an answer on here but

I really love this one idk. Thinking back to how I felt while writing it, how it all flowed in a certain way. The whole experience was just something else, and I’m proud of this one in a certain way I find myself, funnily enough, unable to describe.

27. Best review you ever got?

Okay this sounds cheesy but like

I really do love and appreciate every review or review-like thing I’ve ever gotten so I can’t choose just one for this

Like, y’all gotta understand, I’ve deleted some of it and erased traces of it from my blog, but I’ve written for years on here, I have some stuff on my ao3, and for the longest time I got nothing back, or very nearly nothing. Maybe a few likes, but no comments and not much else. I always just rolled with it and assumed I just wasn’t writing anything good enough to inspire reviews. Idk if that’s true or not, but in any case it means I cherish every comment, like, reblog, and anything review-like in nature because I’m so grateful to have it now, and I know it could well be pure luck that I stumbled up on a really supportive bunch of fandoms with great readers.

In other words, thank y’all for every kind word and like and reblog and also I may be an immortal feeding off of validation of my art, but we’ll see on that last bit, because I haven’t tested it.

28. Worst review you ever got?

One from middle school. I’d just finished my very first novel, gave it to a friend to read, and he said it ‘smacked of being too fanciful and childish, something only kids and women would read’ (it was a YA fantasy novel so I mean... what exactly he expected, idk cuz he knew what it was before I gave it to him, like it’s supposed to have those elements as a lot of these sorts of novels/stories do, and that isn’t a bad thing about them at all, so like...what his damage was idek.)

Also this is the same dude who texts me randomly and is really weird abt his friendship with me and happens to be an English teacher now (RIP to his students.)

Anyway, after he said that I tossed a review right back, because well, middle school and also I was very upset with him because I’d not asked for anything other than a general ‘if you picked this up randomly and started it, would it suck you in enough to keep reading or would you put it down’ like that was literally all I needed him to answer for me. So I told him his latest novel (his second at that point) was essentially just him masturbating to his own opinions (because he’s an arguer, who loves to tell ppl they’re always wrong, and that’s by his own admission) for one hundred pages, and not in a way that anyone else would care to read. He was pissed, but so was I. We didn’t talk for a good week, and we had almost all our classes together lol.

Like, getting nothing back in review sucks too, but this one has stuck with me forever. Best part? I mentioned it to him a few years back, and he only vaguely remembered it, and followed it with “but I’ve said a lot of rough stuff about your work. I mean, it deserved it at the time, but you might be good at this someday!”

I didn’t smack him, but I really, really wanted to.

29. Favorite story/poem of another author

This doesn’t specify on Tumblr or not, so I’ve got two: one from outside tumblr, and one from on here.

A. When I have Fears That I May Cease to Be by John Keats

When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,Before high-pilèd books, in charactery, Hold like rich garners the full ripened grain;When I behold, upon the night’s starred face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows with the magic hand of chance;And when I feel, fair creature of an hour, That I shall never look upon thee more,Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love—then on the shoreOf the wide world I stand alone, and thinkTill love and fame to nothingness do sink.

B. Again, this Tumblr one could be a huge ass list because y’all on here are amazing, but one I’ve been rereading over and over again recently is @xmxisxforxmaybe ‘s Remnants series, which can be found here: https://xmxisxforxmaybe.tumblr.com/post/186702235396/remnants-complete-work

Like, Ahk as a character is captured so well, and I love the way the plot twines and also when the smut comes up? Very good A+ smut, something I value pretty highly on and off Tumblr because man, sometimes smut is just work to write, so I appreciate it when it’s really good. All around, this series has captured my heart and I legit have a link to it saved on multiple devices so if I need something to read, I can just pull it up right away.

30. Hardest part of writing?

Self-doubt. It’s the biggest hurdle for any artist, regardless of the art in question I think, but with writing it seems to double down a lot. Like, you have to really get out of your own head, even as you spend all your time there with your writing ideas. Shit gets weird and twisted, man.

For the longest time, I really let self-doubt defeat me too, and I regret the time I lost to that. I still get hit with it randomly, cause I don’t think it every really goes away for any writer, not even the big names like Stephen King or Neil Gaiman (who I’m half tempted to @ on here purely because I wanna know his feelings on this stuff because I respect and admire him as an artist and his thoughts very much, but also he’s a very busy man so I’m not gonna bug him by doing that lol.)

All there is to do is to work with it, push past it, and most importantly keep writing. I have days where that feels like the hardest thing, but each day I manage to get past it and get the words down? I let myself feel proud of that, and mark it as an achievement in my Big Book of Stuff I’ve Done in This Life.

#text post #ask box things #these answers got long and wordy but I doubt that surprises anyone lol #this helped to answer a bunch of these too #finally got me to a point where I feel ready to try and sleep even if I'm not tired #so thank you to everyone who asked me stuff!!!!#apineappleheart
