My World Monday, Solar's music list
Was feeling a little random and decided to do something a little different today. Because of the man harem post and fandom Saturdays and such, I decided to share with you a bit of my Spotify list. I often listen to it (especially as of late) when I draw and write, especially Magic Shuu. So without further ado, some of my favorites from this list:
Suisou - Megumi Nakajima - Stars Align opening Only - Yuiko Oohara - Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation closing All the Way - Mikuni Shimokawa - Kino's Journey opening Magia - Kalafina - Madoka Magica ending Pink Blood - Hikaru Utada - To Your Eternity opening Hikari - Hikaru Utada - Kingdom Hearts H.T - Tsuneo Imahori - Trigun opening Otherworld - Bill Xtillidiex Muir - Final Fantasy X Inner Universe - Origa - Stand Alone Complex I talk to the rain - Yuki Kajiura - Tsubasa Chronicles Aikoi - FictionJunction YUUKA - Tsubasa Chronicles Synchronicity - Yui Makino - Tsubasa Chronicles OVA opening Loop - Maaya Sakamoto - Tsubasa Chronicles closing Dream Scape - FictionJunction - Tsubasa Chronicles You are my love - Yuki Kajiura - Tsubasa Chronicles Catch You Catch Me - Gumi - Cardcaptor Sakura opening Let Me Be With You - Round Table - Chobits opening Again - Yui - Full Metal Alchemist opening Life - Yui - Bleach ending MOVIN!! - Takacha - Bleach closing Thank You - Orange Range - Bleach closing Hitohira no Hanabi ra - Stereopony - Bleach opening (I think) Hanabi - Ikimonogakari - Bleach opening Shoujo S - Scandal - Bleach opening Goya No Machawase - Hello Sleepwalkers - Noragami opening Kyouran Hey Kids!! - The Oral Cigarettes - Noragami opening Navigator - Nordex - Balance Unlimited opening Welcome My Friend - Nordex - Balance Unlimited closing Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Eiko Shimamiya - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, of course Naraku no Hana - Eiko Shimamiya - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai I'm ALIVE! - Becca - Black Butler closing BAI BAI Yesterday - Assassination Classroom opening Wonderful Night - Fatboy Slim - Dance Dance Revolution "Rashiku" Ikimasho - Anza - Sailor Moon Stars OST
Some of them may be performed by artists other than the original because it's Spotify, which is why I included where it was from. And this is where I've been pulling my inspiration from the past couple of weeks. Let me know if you'd be interested in some of my other playlists and I'll post one maybe once a month or so? Or if you'd like to know what I have on my Deshi playlist and my Stag playlist, because yes, they have playlists I use to tune into them. ^^
And as an added bonus, here is a really old AMV I made of Tsubasa to one of Deo's songs.
I was taking a video media course and played with making AMVs for a short bit. I really liked how this one turned out, even if I wish I'd used some better transitions in places. ^^ And if you like Deo's music, he's on SoundCloud under the name Boushikage.
Anyways, I hope today's delivery wasn't disappointing since it wasn't about Krystar. 馃槄 Like I said, I was just feeling random and was inspired to do something different. And why not, you know? Have a good day, everyone, and thanks for reading. 馃挋

20 Writing Questions
I'm very late on this tag but @venuscrescent tagged me and I'm finally able to actually do it!!! @clucksterwrites @leondaltons @coppercrane2 @teamvanessacloud @vchanny-og, not sure if you all are tagged but I'm tagging you anyways.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
So much fewer than I wish. Just 12. I wish I didn't have to work so I could just fic full time. If anyone wants to pay me to be their Venus x Kunzite fic writer in residence, I will happily accept.
2. What鈥檚 your total AO3 word count?
183,261. Admittedly, higher than I would have expected. It will jump pretty dramatically once I can finally finish this one BEAST that I'm working on.
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
On AO3, two. My main one is, of course, Sailor Moon. It has had my heart for over 20 years and I don't see that going anywhere anytime soon. My other fic is an Avatar: The Last Airbender fic. I just wrote the one fic, though I had another one in mind that I never wrote.
Before my AO3 days, I also wrote fics on ff.net for a few other fandoms including Harry Potter, Gravity Falls, Legend of Zelda, Fruits Basket, Inuyasha, Yu-Gi-Oh, and I think a couple others. But I believe I only wrote one fic for each fandom because I would bounce around. They were my minor fandoms and, while I still enjoy them, just didn't feel much pull to keep writing them.
4. What are your top five fics by Kudos?
Oooh excellent questions. I haven't really paid attention to which ones are my top five.
Experimentation: 112
Stay: 107
People Will Say We're in Love: 91
The Sultan and the Princess: 83
Perfect: 82
Hahahaha. Of course my smutty fics are all in the top five. A little surprised that Experimentation is number 1 but also not. The Venus x Kunzite corner of the fandom is a thirsty one. I love you dorks.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to but I can also be very bad at it. Especially this past year - year and a half I've been dealing on and off with depression and anxiety. So I'll see the comments, squee, but be too tired to craft an intelligent reply. I love getting comments, they bring me so much joy. I always try to make an effort to reply to the people who I don't know personally because I love expanding our corner of the fandom and making new fandom friends.
6. What鈥檚 the fic you鈥檝e written with the angstiest ending?
I really don't write angsty endings. I suppose, by default, it would be Stay since it's not really a happy ending.
Listen, if I'm going to suffer by writing angst, I just want everyone to be happy and loved and living their best lives by the end of it.
7. What鈥檚 the fic you鈥檝e written with the happiest ending?
Haha. Several? My fics almost always have a happy ending. But the happiest one? I would probably say People Will Say We're in Love. Mia and Kam just deserve all the love and happiness because they're so damn cute.
8. Do you write crossovers? If yes, what鈥檚 the craziest thing you鈥檝e written?
Nah. Too many characters to keep track of. I might read the odd crossover but that's pretty rare. I once had the idea of writing a Doctor Who fic where each chapter was the Doctor landing in a different fandom. I got three paragraphs in before giving up. It was when I was a very young, inexperienced writer. I shudder to think what I would have written. I feel like it would have been very cringy. I have enough trouble writing a dozen or so characters in one fic. This would have been a mess.
9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I have not. I consider myself very fortunate that the sen/shi corner of the Sailor Moon fandom is wonderful and so supportive of each other. I always consider myself so lucky that I joined a ridiculous bang challenge one year and never looked back.
10. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Hahaha! Absolutely I do! In fact, talking about smut in question 4 has me itching to work on a WIP smutty ficlet.
I would say my smut is pretty tame, considering. Nothing too crazy, just a lot of "I NEED YOU NOW AND I DON'T CARE WHERE WE ARE"
It's fun!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge. If anyone does ever see any of my fics posted somewhere else, please let me know.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Again, not that I know of. But I would be very flattered if anyone ever wanted to.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Like venuscrescent, not in the traditional sense. I also take part in the same mini bang challenge every year in the senshi & shitennou fandom (pst. If that sounds cool to you, you should check out their official tumblr @ssminibang. We are always trying to expand our cult corner of the fandom.
If you're not familiar with it, every year, an artist and author get paired up to work on a story. It switches each year for who comes up with the idea first and you work together (to varying degrees of collaboration) to make fic and art that complement each other. It's so much fun and I highly recommend it.
My most collaborative one would definitely be The Sultan and the Princess with @lyrhia-art. It was so much fun with us constantly shooting ideas at each other and spawned a fan club within the community around a camel.
14. What鈥檚 your all time favourite ship?
Minako/Venus and Kunzite HANDS DOWN! I'll always have a soft spot for Usagi and Mamoru but VxK has my heart in its clutches. It's a complicated, flawed, crazy relationship and is so great to write/read/obsess over fanart of. I just love them so much, in all incarnations. Especially when they play very much into the 'one is grumpy and one is sunshine' trope.
15. What鈥檚 a WIP you want to finish but don鈥檛 think you ever will?
I have a few, some more likely to be written than the others. In my mind, I'm going to eventually write all of them. Hopefully.
Berenice! A couple of years ago, @versailles-fairytale did a DROOL WORTHY piece of art for the mini bang challenge. I didn't get paired with her but I still want to write the fic that I thought of for it. It would involve Minako going on a trip to get away for a while before Crystal Tokyo arrives. She rents a ocean/lakeside cabin to just get away from it all. But quickly finds out that a reincarnated Kunzite with no memories is her neighbour. Angsty and piney but also lots of fun and just a focus of them falling in love again.
Another one I have takes place after Galaxia and involves the reincarnated shitennou coming back to Japan. They're healed and good and just want to be part of Mamoru's life again. And, of course, there would be lots of sen/shi content. Particularly around Mina and Kunz and how they could maybe pursue a relationship, but of course there are plenty of stumbling blocks. Just have had a lot of trouble finding a direction for it.
Mermaid Beryl! Ages ago, @mochibuni did art of Little Mermaid but Beryl is Ariel and Endy is Eric. We tossed some ideas back and forth and it's still sitting in the back of my brain. I want to write it. I NEED to write it. It's going to be GREAT!
16. What鈥檚 your writing strengths?
I would say fluff. Maybe some comedy too. But definitely fluff. I find it the easiest to write and I feel like my fluff has some really good stuff to it. I love writing it, even when it has little traces of angst.
17. What鈥檚 your writing weaknesses?
SOOOO many. My main one is long stories, especially ones that juggle multiple character arcs. How does anyone juggle so many characters and keep track of their emotional well being?!!??!?! It's so hard!!!!
Angst can be hard for me too, especially if it's over the course of a long story. I'm fine with short bits of angst but if it stretches more than one or two chapters, my brain shuts off and doesn't like it.
I'm fine with comedic and fluffy dialogue but give me a scene that deals with more serious topics and my brain shuts off. I'm so bad at writing scenes where characters try to talk their shit out.
18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?
Personally not a fan of it. If you're a fan of it, great! I usually encounter it with Japanese because Sailor Moon is my main fandom. But I find that random Japanese words/phrases in the fic pull me out of the experience. Admittedly, I use sailor senshi as opposed to sailor guardian but that's about it.
19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
LOL! Technically it was Yu-Gi-Oh. It was a stupid idea my friends and I had over a lunch break when I was back in high school. It was dumb and ridiculous and served no purpose. But I still laugh about it.
20. What鈥檚 your favourite fic you鈥檝e written?
I definitely don't have one favourite. I have different fics that mean different things to me and I love them for different reasons.
The Sultan and the Princess is one of my faves because I had such a blast writing it. It came together exactly as I wanted it to and it's one of the few fics where I can still look at it and not want to change a whole bunch of stuff. And it was a great, fun balance of comedy, drama, and just a little bit of angst and steamy.
People Will Say We're in Love is also in my top fics because I had a blast writing this too. It was light, it was fun, it was romantic, it was silly. It was such a delight, even if it did take me about two years to write. I'm also really proud of it because I consider it my first long, fully flushed out fic with big emotional arcs. Admittedly, Love Letters and Loathing is technically my first long fic but I adore PWSWiL because it felt more rounded and it was novel length. I'm still pretty proud of it.
When I finally finish it, Blood on her Hands will be on this list. It's been HELL writing it because I have so many characters to balance and keep track of. I've been working on it for about two years and I am constantly rewriting it and refining it to get it to be what I want it to be. But if I actually get it to be what I want it to be, I'm gonna be so, freakishly proud of it.
