I'm here for the ask gamee!! I wanna make sure how alike we are haha sooo 4, 19, 23, 29, and 39...Is that too many? It's way too many lol, feel free to choose between them

Lin!!! Omg you're an angel, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be so self indulgent! And I want to hear all of your responses to these questions in turn 😏

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

Omg wow I found this so hard arrrrgh! I think I find this one hard because there's not a word in particular that I love, but I absolutely WILL go feral over a writer's word choice, especially when it's anything surprising or interesting or creative that just makes me think oh wow, what a great word! I do actually have a list of "good words" on my notes app though lol, so here is a selection of some of those: tranquil, raw, permeate, hollow, scorched, lethargy, deft (there were many others lol what a strange list 😅)

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

I only started properly writing at the beginning of 2022, but I really have been writing here and there all my life. I was a total bookworm as a kid, and was always writing stories. The first job I ever wanted was to be an author 😁 I have loads of old notebooks from my teenage years filled with snippets of prose and poems, but I never really finished anything or wrote anything cohesive. I feel like discovering the Internet was a major road block because it ruined my attention span and I barely read a book for years! Honestly, fanfiction was the intense hyperfixation I needed to get myself into gear - I've never had such a strong urge to create before!

23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.

Ooh I love this - the environment I write in feels super important to me. Okay, so, sometimes, it's at my desk at home during the working day (sssshhhh!), accompanied by the modern day working from home soundtrack: the ping of Teams messages. Other times, it's on the sofa, snuggled under my electric blanket turned up to the max. And when I can make it work, it's in my favourite place of all - my local library. It has a beautiful reading room panelled in old, dark wood, and there's a huge skylight up above. It's a wonderful, peaceful place to work. Maybe not so great for when I'm writing smut 😁

29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?

When I first started writing, I honestly felt like inspiration just threw itself at me from the void, lol. Nowadays, it's harder. Honestly, I think a lot of my inspiration comes via logical thinking, just trying to figure out what a certain character might do or say in a given situation and letting that guide me. Ooh, also, the act of writing in itself is SO important for me inspiration-wise - there is SO much that just comes to me as I'm writing. Like it just seems to appear in my mind. Which is annoying as it means outlining or plotting beforehand doesn't really work for me, I have to have a half idea and then see how it plays out on the page!

39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?

Honestly... Self discipline hahaha. That feels like such a sad thing to admit. But I'm the type of person who likes to see things through to the end. I rarely just WANT to write, but I make the time to and I keep at it. I am actually taking more breaks recently, though, and intend to take a longer break to fully recharge soon :)

#I'll just add... I loved the parallel of kawi telling pisaeng that the changes he's made to other people's lives#have had a detrimental effect...but at the same time the influence#kawi has had on max has been so positive - which max thanks him for#but kawi's been too preoccupied with his influence on pisaeng to really understand that

@dribs-and-drabbles put these tags on @waitmyturtles's post and I just had to write down some thoughts about this (this is mostly to wade through the jumbled mass of thoughts I've been having)

Kawi really lives in absolute extremes. He went from the insistence that he has done absolutely nothing on value in his life to now thinking he's responsible for every bad thing that's ever happened to anyone. I understand his thought process, he's looking at these changes in people as a direct result of his actions. But just because he's jumping from past to future (I think the past is the present but that's NOT THE POINT) doesn't mean everyone has - not even the version of him in the future.

Except, well, it is his fault. Not because he ruined peoples' lives, but like the conversation in this post I made yesterday covers (also: I love all the comments and tags on that post so much!!!!! I'm going to be thinking about them for a while but for now, ep 8), the nature of the mechanics of this time travel make peoples' decisions and realities freeze at the point Kawi jumps from. Every week we seem to be building up towards Kawi choosing to stay in the past and live out his life, this time actively participating in it and actively trying to make decisions to better himself and not harm the people around him.

And we saw so much growth in Kawi this time around! Look at the difference in his failed confession to Pear in the beginning to his confession to Pisaeng here. He carefully planned everything out for Pear and the first moment something went wrong, he didn't even bother to show up. Now. Now he accidentally makes Pisaeng feel like he isn't wanted around but still tries to fix it. Still wants to talk to him after his phone dies and cuts off their conversation. Still confesses to him while he's threatening to leave, unsure (somehow even after everything) whether it would be accepted or not. Kawi is growing and putting himself out there because finally the cost of not taking a chance matters. Not taking a chance means losing a big part of his life - and it means something because now his life will go on without it (won't end at that moment) and he doesn't want to go on without Pisaeng. He's actively trying to improve his life, not just make sure it doesn't end.

But back to my actual point - Kawi is now attempting to shoulder the weight of everyone's future because he hurt Pisaeng in the future. But I love that Kawi hasn't even considered that Pisaeng fighting with his mom, refusing to move away isn't just because of him, it's still a decision Pisaeng has made.

I think it's because Kawi is starting to realise that by jumping forward in time he's taking agency away from people - he may not be able to understand it yet but I do think he feels it. I think he's still going to try and travel to the future but I like the way it's heading. Because the final solution seems to be staying in the past, living through it all... or at least I hope so. The expectations are high with this one now! Very, very high.

But I also love Max telling Kawi that he's been influential in his life in a way that Max appreciates. It may be the first time Kawi is seeing a positive outcome to something he has tried to change - which was Max leaving, making amends with him. And I hope it leads to Kawi gaining a little bit more of a positive outlook. So far everything has been pretty negative for him...

haiku about the end of the year

it’s this time of the year

when you say goodbye

to moments of doubt and anger and tears

don’t let fuckers win

screw them

let’s focus on goodness and light

they will never know these feelings

goodbye bad bad people

✨✨✨✨

once upon a time, in a faraway land in a small and shitty mall there was this "luxury" store and guess what was it called? ****Trend

there was a girl, poppy was her name she used to work in this place and oh, it was once her safe space but not anymore, what a shame

the job was shitty, that's not a lie her workmates were amazing though they made her laugh, laughed at her jokes (she even befriended the new guy)

and then one day no fun, no more she got the worst news ever "we are transferring you", the bad bitch witch tells her "to a different mall, a different store"

the store was far away from poppy's and her new team couldn't accept her there was one guy who fucking hated her she couldn't take it, she wrote her notice

i guess you can say she wrote her way out but she still had to stay for quite some time tried to be nice to them, was that a crime? "i will survive this, without a doubt"

crying sessions in the bathroom that was poppy's way to cope but then one day she just said "nope" new idea, sick leave, BOOM!

who's laughing now? i guess not them she's gonna have long christmas break she knows for sure that wasn't a mistake that's why now she is writing this poem

she also got a new job offer her teerico merch is on the way good things are coming, also, hey! she's taking the job, it starts next year!

she saw in the heights live in koszalin she met jakub gierszał with her bestie, bel she wrote her way out of this hell (maybe one day she will also meet lin?)

here's to new year, here's to the new chapter here's to uk trip and the eras tour in poland! here's to my friends, my moots from foreign land may poppy's life be full of laughter!

Here is a from a scene in a linzolt fic called ‘Ghost of Weddings’ by @chiefbeifongcanrailme

“Floating above the ground was a terribly adorable-looking fox-rabbit. Except, fox-rabbits couldn’t fly and they didn’t have tiny wings on their backs. They also weren’t colored in shades of lilac. This one also had green spots all over its fur with two antenna-like appendages on top of its head. The ends of these antennae were poofy, like daffodils…”

I really recommend checking Kat’s fic out, it’s the perfect mixture of angst, comedy and fluff.

Edit: added wings to the spirit. (Can’t believe I forgot that)

57 for Qui-Gon and Rae-Lin

From my Promises of Fools AU (if anyone's curious, search the tag). Rae-Lin Jinn (formerly Kenobi) is one of my fave OCs. Here have this clumsy attempt at romance. Yes, Stewjon is Space Scotland, and I'm having fun with that.

100 ways to say ILY.

57. "There is enough room for both of us."

He was still there when the rain started, wandering through the heathgren, purposely aimless, and Rae-Lin covered her mouth with one hand, trying not to giggle.

It wouldn't have mattered; she was sure he knew where she was. He was a Jedi, he could see with more than eyes.

And yet, he couldn't see what to do about her.

Rae-Lin shook her head fondly, maternal amusement stronger than girlish fancies for the brief.

He'd come back, in the spring, just as he said he would. He made her father talk, made her mother laugh, made the rest of them smile knowing and cunning at her. He made Rae-Lin talk and laugh as well, but he also made her feel beautiful.

He was obvious as a caora in a cottage. To everyone, it seemed, but himself.

The rain thickened, and at last he turned and came slowly toward the closest tree, whose branches she peered through. His dark brown hair was almost black in the rain, hanging in a sheet down his back. He didn't mind getting wet, that was sure.

As he stepped under the tree's leafy branches, she lost her sight of him, though she could still hear him, boots rustling the grass.

She remembered suddenly, when she was a little girl, and she'd first found this hole in the hill, a hideaway from her brothers and their tossing friends. She'd never told her sister about it; she'd been too old to care by then. That was so long ago, she thought, and tried to swallow the pebble in her throat.

He wasn't one of her brothers, he was... too far away, down there in the grass. She didn't want to hide from him, she was tired of hiding things.

"Qui-Gon!" His name leapt from her lips, and she smiled at the sound. Leaning out a little farther, rain spattering the top of her head, she called down, "I'm up here!"

"And what am I supposed to do with this information?" Qui-Gon's tone was wry, but a laugh lurked behind it.

"Come up, of course." She laughed herself, not quite giddy, but sunny for sure. "Climb the tree up against the stone, and you'll find me."

"As you wish, lady." He often spoke like that, formal, but never cold. Rae-Lin liked it.

Qui-Gon's face appeared just below hers so suddenly, she started, and had to catch herself on the rocky edge.

"Ehh, stop being so fae there!"

"I assure you," Qui-Gon said seriously, blinking rain off his eyelashes, "I am flesh and blood, fully human."

The urge to lean down and kiss him right then and there—with his noble nose and the silver drops in his beard and his deep kind eyes—came like a cross wave, catching her off balance. But even as she tilted forward, a rock bit painfully into her hand, and she jerked back, hoping to the stars he didn't notice her blushing.

"It seems a small space." For once, he seemed hesitant, not watching her, so much as peering into the dark little cavern.

"Well." She took a deep breath, settled herself. "I've never had anyone join me before, but there is room enough for both of us."

He was, she realized as they carefully sorted limbs in the suddenly cramped space, right to question. He wasn't a small man, not Qui-Gon Jinn. All length and height, like the Ben Novis, big hands, big boots. And yet, he moved with such grace, easily folding himself past her and into the back of the rocky hole, knees tucked against his chest, as he leaned against the side wall.

Rae-Lin faced him, smoothing her skirt over her own knees, suddenly unable to look him in the face. She was acutely aware of his wet earthy smell, and the warmth he filled this wee space with. The way their legs were almost touching...

"You were right."

She looked at him, startled, and he smiled in the dim grey light. "There is room for both of us.

"And thank you," Qui-Gon added, "for inviting me up."

Rae-Lin relaxed then, her racing heartbeat slowed, and she found she was able to bump her knee against his in a perfectly friendly fashion. "And you're welcome."

The flutterwings in her stomach rose up, but she said it anyway, a little quiet, not looking at him. "I suppose I always hoped to share this with someone."

There was a long quiet then, both of them staring out at the rain, falling soft and silver over the hills.
