Did I hallucinate this or has he been stealing all her hair ties ?

YHS Redesign: Felicia “OHHHH BRITTNEY!!” Weisz

I think you can tell who my favorite character is 😅 I wanted to put her in some y2k clothes because i’d think she’d like to wear that and also her OG sweater(?) is kinda plain. I also gave her curly/wavy hair because almost every girl in og yhs had the mid 2010’s emo bangs and straight hair and i wanted felicia to be distinct from gold at a glance. Although I am aware of the ‘spicy’ latina stereotype and although I want more diversity in the cast, I also want to avoid said stereotype, so felicia, although more overtly competitive and arrogant than brittney and olivia/liv (who will have a more important role in the first arc) she will be the most empathetic one, too.

She will be kat’s arch nemesis as usual, but in a more ‘frenemy’ sense. liv won’t die (super) early on, so after kat gives liv the pendant, kat may be inducted into the lower echelons of the popular kids. conventionally pretty enough to not get bullied, but still average enough to not overthrow the queen bee, whoever that is at the time. Felicia, for all her showboating and taunts, is nowhere near as ruthless as her posse is. basically, our queen has STANDARDS, she’ll mock you for your clothes or how you present yourself, not how you were born.

While felicia and kat are frenemies and may even get along in the future, after the posse’s (brit, liv and some other characters) true colors are revealed, they will be kat’s enemies, period. I’ll go more into detail on what the posse does but as a summary, liv gets overthrown and WE ALL KNOW WHO has something to do with it, culminating in liv’s “self- factory reset”. or so it seems…

BTW for the rewrite proper i’m gonna be formatting sections of it like this:

*insert picture/drawing to set the scene, totes kewl, minecraft background*

optional: Introductory paragraph from someone’s (usually kat’s) pov

page break

dialogue

A: “Blah blah blah”

B: “Wtf are u saying”

obviously it will be longer and more professional looking, but that’s what i’m working with rn cuz I can’t draw all the pannels needed for it to be a proper comic, i’m sorry! but let me know if the format is fine or not

[justalittleguest]

(Oms, thanks so much for tagging me- also sorry this gets rambly ! <з)

Last song: besides the one normalenjoer-png linked, it’s “You know what they do to guys like us in prison” by MCR because that’s my music taste no kidding, and I recently learned the lyrics are actually gay.

Favorite color: the thing between green and blue; teal? cian? aqua blue? nobody knows, but I like it and coral.

Last movie/tv show: crazy rich asians because I had a movie night, but if I got to lie I’d say blue eye samurai cuz I watched it right before and I kinda want to talk about how cool it was.

Sweet/savory/spicy: sweet, probably, but I can’t handle too much of it.

Last thing I googled: “are pickles savory”, because let’s be real, if pickles belonged in any of the categories given, that would be my answer for the prev question; I am a simple man.

Current obsession: this Dream and Cross scene that I imagine in my head but can’t write down or draw urghh; it’s technically sour cream, but I don’t subscribe to Shattered acting much more different to himself other than being more depressed.. if any of my mutual r okay with me rambling about this in their dms call me up lol, but this isn’t time and place.

Last book: ohoho. u underestimate how many books I’ve been technically interchangeably ‘reading’. I’m in the middle of “Wicked” and have been for two years, I’m ‘in the process of reading’ “Solitaire”, I’ve gotten through surprisingly a lot of “Jasmine Throne” and “Gwen & Art are not in love”, and my library is still waiting for me to return “This is how you lose the time war”. if you notice anything from this list, it’s that it’s all very queer & sapphic and I’m not very good at reading due to no attention span.

Last fic: it’s “Pinpoint” by im_at_my_limit on AO3, and if you’ve ever liked Amphibia, and especially the ship between the three main girls, I BEG you, read their stuff! it’s so good you don’t understand.

Looking forward to: rn? when I pull myself by my bootstraps and finally write something.

@chuliann @spaceyboiis @justanidiotartist @sonicranger1 @pigpo100 @sunnemona @kredena-dark @gaylordscooter @elizakai @thenocturnenarrator @loxleyo7 @calciumdreams no pressure guys!!

thank u thank u @fiddleleafedfig for the tag !!

nine people you want to get to know better

last song: when i opened the tag, 'alien blues' by vundabar but currently i'm listening to hozier 'would that i'. as of finishing writing this, radiohead. there you have it.

favourite colour: a deep cherry red. the kind that would make a really lovely lipstick gloss.

last movie/tv show: i'm terrible with shows and movies, but i was watching the bowie doco (moonage daydream) the other day, keeping on brand ik. i also love british comedians so 'would i lie to you?' is probably up there as well.

sweet/savoury/spicy: sweet if it is really well done. i'm talking specifically that one pub down by where i live that for some reason makes the best chocolate lava cake ever. if not, savoury forever.

last thing i googled: beatles guitar songs for beginners. i've decided to relearn guitar and i'm back to the absolute basics.

current obsession: concerts! this is a long-standing love but it is very evident lately. the way concerts down here work is that no one comes for years bc of the trek to aus, and then randomly there's this one month period where everybody is here at once and suddenly i have to choose between favs. that has been this month! hard on the bank account but my soul is thriving with a concert every other week. saw noah kahan, it was life-altering.

last book: i'm between the '50 yrs of led zeppelin' biography by mick wall, and 'anna karenina' by tolstoy atm. (adding it) last fic: blends by rvltn909. finished it yesterday and oh my god. the crime that was me putting it off.

looking forward to: still a little ways away, but i'm moving to america for (my) winter-spring!! i've work in the states, which i'm thrilled abt. it also means i am tracking down artists who refuse to concert in aus (hozier for the love of god) and trying to sneak them in as well.

np tags (apologies if you've already been tagged): @fairylittlebitch @alltoounwellll @the-moon-says-hi @just--vi @whyistarchaser @bellaxisworld @feminist-cult-following @none-of-it-was-accidental @svnflowermoon + ofc anybody else who wants to. tag me. let me know you all.

tagged by @straydelivery, mwah

Relationship status: single for centuries. not happy about that, bleh 🤨 but not too concerned either, jeez 💅

Favorite color: peach, ruby and all those that work well in drawing

Favorite food: caesar salad with shrimp; avocado (in any dish)

Song stuck in my head: slowthai - Dead leaves. love this one and that whole album.

Last thing I googled: some routes and locations in the place where i’m currently having a vacation. went to the beach today, and now i can say that i’ve had a swim in all the four oceans on planet Earth.

Dream trip: huh whuh anywhere abroad because due to political status quo i cannot leave the country and probably wouldn’t be able to for some time. so my record of 20 countries has ceased for now. but if i imagine the better future i’d certainly visit Vienna again, it’s a miracle, and after that i’d visit my European friends.

Something I want: i dream to do nothing but art, to make a living from art. no idea how to achieve that yet. also i’d like to work on important stuff much more than rn and for my mental health to allow me to do that.

Currently reading: Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. he actually uses impersonal sentences so i was like 🤔 so i can use them too? i was refraining from them in my english writing because to my knowledge every english sentence has to have a predicate. but if Mr.Franzen uses these, why can’t i?

Last song: Oxxxymiron - Нон-Фикшн 🤷‍♀️

Last series: oh i watched that The Bear series, started because it was all over my tumblr dash. INCREDIBLE, just great, especially that elliptical plot composition where all the things that the character ignored in the beginning come back to ensure his salvation/reawakening in the end. and yeah ofc Jeremy Allen White 🤤

Last movie: The Third Murder by Hirokazu Kore-eda. i started with his Shoplifters (those who read my WIP fic know why) and the director’s style was love at first sight so i resumed learning his filmography.

Sweet/spicy/savory: savory, but actually whatever, i wish eating didn’t exist

Currently working on: well yeah my infant son Disintegration, a Tokyo Revengers fanfic, that’s it for now. it gives me great pleasure, especially since i take my time trying different patterns of episode build-up/scene size/chapter composition, though the most interesting episodes to write are only about to come. like, my favorite scene is planned for chapter 8 in the first draft. i’m mad & sad that it takes more than a week to make a chapter, but well, the trick is that i rewrite every scene three times in order have it solid, so if achieving faster pace means sacrificing some quality - no can do, my perfectionism holds me hostage

Time: 8PM

[i-am-the-balancing-point]

It’s WIP Wednesday, my dudes!

thanky to a ~carefully planned~ queue I am finally participating in one of those on an actual Wednesday. I have been tagged by @adelaidedrubman, @scungilliwoman and @clicheantagonist, each TWICE already (I’m sorry, I am trying my best! thank you for still thinking of me).

alas everything I have on the burner has not progressed past what I have shown you yet so I‘m just gonna churn some ideas out I wanna brain-birth in the future:

ART

@josephslittledeputy‘s Deputy OC Willa teaching my Dep to use the rocket launcher. Willa is standing behind Gigi and uses the opportunity for some neck kisses 🌝✨

Jacob carrying a sleeping Faith in his arms (I need all of the soft sibling interactions between her and her brothers!)

Faith cuddling a little bunny while sitting in the middle of a field

a spicy bondage and knifeplay scene between John and my dep

Joseph holding my dep to his chest while they’re in the tub

so much Willa and Gigi smut. I made promises!

Gigi comforting a very tired Alex (@clicheantagonist’s deputy OC, based on this)

Imogene, Eli and their little fawn, (something from an AU @nonfunctioning-queer came up with for their deputy OC but I‘m not sure how much I am allowed to share so keeping it vague 🌝)

Joseph kissing Faith‘s forehead

@faithchel’s OC Lyra in a Seed family portrait (I have already done family portrait research for this ndishwvgwaown)

Dani on a horse!!!!!

speaking of horses: Deputies Alex, Willa and Gigi going for a ride together

Mary May getting railed by Skylar ✨

very wife-y portrait of my dep handing Joey a cup of coffee and smooching her on the cheek

I am deeply handshake emoji in love with @raccoondog3’s cult OC Hoot and just wanna draw my dep being nice to him 🤷🏽‍♀️

I also kinda wanna draw Citra but she is so perfect and I feel like I would eternally hate myself if I didn’t do her justice or if it at least would not turn out the way I wanted it to

WRITING

I still have this bit I started to write about how John gave my deputy the pride scar on her inner thigh (no idea if I posted it in the past but I‘d be too shy to to post it here rn) and would love to expand on that but I am just so awkward at writing anything sexual. 🥲 (cue me bringing a notepad to my next dique appointment and stopping in the middle of steamy stuff to jot some things down) The rough outline is that John kidnaps the deputy while she’s out hunting with Jess. She wakes up in his bunker tied to a chair and still pretty mushy from the bliss bullet. Johnny is angy™ at her for not even caring the littlest bit to even make a tiny move towards atonement. This is after she had her magical girl transformation moment and switched to the clothes that actually reveal her scars which he thinks is her way of taunting him (frankly, Gigi does not care about that. she is pissed about the scars but this is about her own comfort and letting lose a bit and definitely not about John). He has not only set his mind to marking her with another sin but wants to take more. It all goes into pretty uh dubcon territory from there and I get that’s really not everyone’s cup of tea. Also I am absolutely shitty at writing dialogue for John. He’s just giving me a hard time. I cannot really empathise with his arrogant bitch mind and I am not witty myself so it takes fucking ages to find something appropriate for him to say. (If anybody would like to help I’d greatly appreciate it!)

in addition to that I wanna write something about my dep being put on a leash by Jacob 😏 that man is into puppy play and just being a mean mean dom and I need this fic spiked with lots of praise and degradation to idk heal my heart or something!

I still have the idea for the fic of Vaas taking a special liking to one of his prisoners ghosting around in the back of my head but currently all it screams is CITRA so that will probably take a while too

tagging everyone who’d like to post some wip atm. I’m curious to see what you’re cooking up! :)

Burden of the Survivors--Excerpt

*not my gif*

Burden of the Survivors

Pairs: Din Djarin x fem!reader Rating: T (at the moment- subject to change) Warnings: uh smooches? making out? not beta’ed cause I don’t have time for that rn *no spoilers- takes place in Season 1 timeline* Summary: You didn’t trust Ran and his crew anymore than you’d trust a stormtrooper to hit a target from 50 paces and they proved you right with that bantha-shit show of a job. You figure that’s whats got Mando so tense, turns out he has something else on his mind.

A/N: I notoriously write fics out of order because I’m a scatter brain and when I’ve got a thot I’ve got to write it before I lose it. I’m behind on Chapter 2 because of the holidays and now work is being a bitch so enjoy some first smooches with one Mandalorian while I get my ass in gear to finish the next chapter. Also thots are appreciated on whether or not this scene should be continued and how spicy ya’ll want them to get

[Masterlist] [Chapter One]

The tension on the Crest simmers after you put the baby down. You can see how Mando walks around with squared off shoulders, hear the leather of his gloves creaking as he continues to clench his fists. He’s wound up and you can’t wrap your head around why. Mayfeld, Xi’an and Burg were currently sitting in a cell on a New Republic prison ship, Ran and Qin had been blown up by the X-Wings and you’d been paid for it all. Despite the initial bumps in the day, it had come out in your favor in the end. Yet you still felt like you were walking on eggshells. What had gotten into him?

You wondered if Xi’an and Mayfeld had gotten under his skin more than you had originally thought. Or maybe he just needed space after getting shoved in a cell? It had not been pleasant being stuck in the cell, as brief as it had been. It wasn’t as if the Razor Crest allowed you to give him much space, especially with the Child sleeping up in the cockpit. His energy was starting to rub off on you too; it had you worrying your necklace in one hand while you tidied up the ration pack that had served as your dinner.

So wrapped up in the palpable pressure you didn’t notice Mando’s approach, or maybe he didn’t want you to hear him approach. Surprisingly silent for a man covered in metal. Metal that now had you pinned up against the Crest’s tiny built-in kitchenette.

You spin around in his hold, peering wide-eyed up into the emotionless visor. “Mando, what’s going on?”

One large hand falls to your hip, the other cups your chin with a subtle tilt up. The warm leather a sharp contrast to the frigid metal boxing you in. He’s so close he fills all your senses; he smells of blaster residue and weapons cleaner and something sharp. You’d never been this close to him before.

“You could have left me behind back there. Taken the ship and the child and have been in the wind, long gone by now.”

“Why would I do that?”

“Why haven’t you done it, Kyber? You’ve had plenty of chances after you said you were only in this for the Child. You said you didn’t care about me. So why have you stayed all this time?”

You had said that hadn’t you? “I-I don’t know-”

His grip tightens on your chin, “that’s a kriffing lie and you know it, sweet girl.”

Your heart leaps into your throat, “Mando…”

His helmet tilts as your voice trails off. Curious how a blank helmet can be so expressive.

“Tell me I’m wrong and I’ll stop-” his thumb starts lazily drawing tight circles above your hip bone- “but I know I’m not wrong.”

That you stayed because of him?

Your eyes flutter closed as heat rises to your cheeks. How do you admit something like this to someone when you won’t admit it to yourself? “You’re not wrong… Mando…”

His voice is almost smug, “keep your eyes closed, sweet girl.”

You nod, eyes screwed tight. His hands pull away, leaving your skin tingling where he’d touched.

What was this man doing to you?

The lights in the hull drop before he’s caging you in again, both hands framing your face before his lips brush against yours with a gentleness you wouldn’t suspect the bounty hunter possessed.

His lips.

A sound somewhere between a groan and a moan bubbles up in your throat as the realization the faceless man has taken his helmet off. For you.

To kiss you.

You melt into him, chasing after his lips when he pulls back. He chuckles and his unfiltered voice nearly turns you into a puddle on the spot. How could someone’s voice be so attractive?

As he slots his lips against yours again you can’t help but smile at the slight tickle of hair against the soft skin above your lip. You had never pictured him with facial hair.

It’s rough and patchy but you can’t be bothered as he presses in closer, his chapped lips moving in time with your own. He’s insistent, barely pausing to let either of you breathe. You wonder where get got so good at this.

He gingerly releases your face, one hand returning to your waist, leaving trails of burning skin where his fingers ghost along your torso. The other tangles itself in the hair at the nape of your neck, tilting your head back ever so slightly into his lips. You find yourself wrapping your arms around his neck, drawing him impossibly closer, sliding your fingers through his ridiculously soft locks.

He has curls.

You’ve seen the peaks of bronze skin under all the metal and his hair at the base of his helmet when he lets it grow too long. You know its somewhere between black and brown, the sort of shade that glows reddish brown when the sunlight hits it just right. The image you have of him wavers back and forth between green and brown eyes. A sharp, piercing green would suit him and his quick reflexes but a deep soulful golden-brown would fit as well, hidden away behind that dark visor.

His aquiline nose bumps against your own as he licks at your bottom lip, a silent question. You willingly open yourself further to him, his tongue mingling with yours as he licks into your mouth. He swallows you moans as his hand toys with the edge of your top, fingers sneaking along you skin until his large hand stretches out across the curve of your waist, his thumb resting beneath your breast band, teasing. His rough skin sends shivers down your spine and you lean further into his touch.

The two of you barely pull apart for air as your kisses grow increasingly desperate. His hand tightens in your hair and you let him guide your head to the side. Lips trail down your jaw and you sigh as they meet your exposed neck. You’re panting as he sucks and licks at the sensitive skin.

“Mando… Maker Mando…”

“Din.”

You brain is too occupied to process the three-letter word, “wha-”

“My name is Din,” he nips at the shell of your ear, voice rough in a way you’d never thought you’d hear. “You best use it when you tell me what you want, sweet girl.”

Sweet is not a word you’d associate with yourself after all you’ve done, but you swear you swoon like a lovesick teenager every time it leaves his lips.

“Din-” you’re breathless as his name leave your lips for the first time- “Din don’t stop.”

He smirks against your neck, “wouldn’t dream of it, sweet girl.”

Heyyy love!! Please hold me back I'm gonna fight your pillow >:( tho I am glad you're better. It's good that the pill and water helped :) cheese and Netflix sounds so good right now, what are you watching?

I really understand that, at least you'll get to celebrate it with more people, and that's already such fun. I also had a thought. When new year's eve finally rolls around, Malaysia will be in 2021 two hours earlier than Kazakhstan. I'll be sure to message you during that time period, 😝😝 aaaah that'd be so cool, dont you think?

Omg that is really cool, so it's like adding oc's in the storyline!!! 😣 Kouki Yoshido and Aito Okada sound cool, I already like their positions 🤚😼 and that requires a lot of planning, I'm sure it'll keep you guys busy (in the best way possible, because it's also fun to work on stuff with your friends) tho noooo, please don't say that, I love hearing you talk about stuff, and something you're passionate about like this? Yes please my heart is MELTING 😣💖 makes me love you all the more (which I didn't think was possible ;-;)

omg then you'd love a dish we have here!! I had it earlier, which is why I asked you that question. it's called "pan mee" and it's like, SPICY noodles, with dry chili, pickles, egg, and minced meat and it's so good 😭😭 (and yes I ate it for lunch! Proud for not skipping today xD) tho yes since it's both spicy, and noodles, I think you'd like it. It's a dish native to the Hakka Chinese, and since my grandma was Hakka, she loved it too. Just googled plov. It looks epic :>

aw that cafe sounds wonderful. I really hope you'll someday find it again, and be able to try the green tea :) tho I totally agree with what you've said about pizzas and quiches 😣😣 they finish wayy too fast and before you know it, the whole pizza is gone :<

ahhh Molly sounds like such an adorable name, you must've had a great time with the parrot. (He sounded like such a darling...) It's a shame :( I'm sorry to hear that >:(((

omg that logo was so pretty! The blues 😍😍😍 Here's ours... It's transparent too, so I hope you can see it xD (Leo stands for "leadership, experience, opportunity" which is lame ik😣 but oh well— we're basically a social service club with a whole lot of protocol)

AHH yes Rowling just makes all potterheads look bad. I loved the series ever since I was really young, and I've read the books multiple times, but the author as a person?? Nope. 🙀 I also had a project presentation earlier, and I'm v sure I screwed it up but uh nevermind 😭😣😣😣😣

That gif nooooo skjdksks too cute. And omg what you smile when you think of me? Combusting rn, that's so sweet I'm flustered

I love you so much :)

—Ari

Helloo!!

Ahah, sunshine, would a hug hold you back?^^" Please dont fight my pillow, its ruined as it is now hehe~ really though, the kids messed it up so bad😩

I'm watching Alice in the Borderland, you might've seen Kuro watching that in his stories too, (I checked the name in google and apparently it's also a manga😳 might read it later) It's pretty cool, I only watched two episodes but it's already awesome. It's a good watch, though theres blood and death and sexual scenes, so be careful~

I didnt even think about that, haha! I'm looking forward to it♡^з^ I'm sure itll be amazing!!

I'm really glad you think so, surprisingly those two are my most treasured children😩 even though I wasn't the one to create them XD still I think they're nice little kids. I'm hoping we finish the team soon so I could show you each of them😭

Ehhh I'm glad to hear that~ Its the only passion I have at the moment, and ... did I say that already??? I think I did. Or??? Either way, its really dear to me, and tbh if Liza wasn't busy we'd probably finish it all a lot quicker:( I feel bad cuz shes got a strict mom, but when we're on call they seem to have a pretty good relationship aside from when they're commanding her, so I guess it's not as bad as I thought. Still, she's busy, and barely finds time and place to draw.

Sorry, I'm gonna carry on about Liza for a little bit, because I'm really proud of how shes becoming lately--- I moved out of town a few years ago, maybe three or something, and to be honest I haven't really expected her to improve so much?? It's still got a few problems, but to be honest, the first time I saw her drawing I almost cried because I felt so proud, as I was the one to actually help her with the basics. I guess that's what being friends with artists does to you, but still I got really emotional when I first saw her improvements XD

Oh my god, SPICY NOODLES?? PICKLES????? EGGS????? MINCED MEAT???? SIGN ME THE HELL UP I AM ON MY WAYYYY I am definitely cooking you some plov and I really hope you like it😭😩

I hope so too!! ~and it especially sucks when you're in a big family, Kuro's been crying about how he got one slice of pizza when the kids ate everything every time💀 makes me wanna adopt him even more tbh JSHDJSJD

He was!! That month was hard because my dog also died, I miss them all so much🥺

OH it looks so good!!! The abbreviation (is that the word😭) is really cool too?? I love the lions hehe, big hairy cats go grrr

True true true, I absolutely can't stress enough how much struggle it is when the author is a bad person. I've been listening to a group, but the leader is an abusive/manipulative prick apparently, so the songs are like a guilty pleasure. I literally cant stop listening to them cuz their songs are the most relatable thing I've ever heard, but yet, it's sad to see that the one who wrote them is not a good person :<

Oh, I'm sure you didnt? I dont know the details though, but even if you did, please dont worry!! I'm sure you got the point through, and that's what's important:) No one can do everything perfectly, so dont stress about it<3

Hehehhe, no way, you're cuter😠❤❤ of course I do, your messages are one of the main sources of serotonin for me😝💞

I love you too!! Hope you're doing good<3

10 Question Tag Game

Tagged By: @burninghoneyatdusk thank you for the tag! Also like fangirling just a little tbh (I elaborate on this further in the post but v excited to be mutuals!). I love these little things, they’re so freaking fun! :)

1. What’s your favorite genre to write

I’m the rom com girl for sure, I love super sappy love stories with minimal drama for the most part. I am a huge member of the happy endings camp. I’ve only ever written Modern AUs because of this but also kind of because I just like to leave canon alone and I struggle to balance the sci fi elements at times in regard to continuity. Also a major softie for kid fics, which I don’t think counts as a genre but I’m including it anyway.

2. Do you pull inspiration from real life? Or do you pull things from other books/fanfic?

My main Bellarke series is rom com AUs based off of romantic comedies and I have a few other stories based off of TV shows. So I would say for the most part I tend to draw from media. A lot of the kid stuff I write comes from babysitting and having nieces and nephews lol but that’s really the only real life stuff I draw from.

3. Do you tend to write one-shots, short stories or longer things?

I mainly write long fics, brevity is not my strong suit for sure. I love writing slow burns so multi chapter fics tend to be structured better for that. But I’ve just started delving into one shots and I’ve really been enjoying it! It’s kind of nice to give someone a peek in a world without giving away too much. I’ve been loving one shot prompts so if you have any please send them my way!

4. Do you prefer description or dialogue?

Definitely dialogue! It’s the way I infuse humor into my stories most of the time and I love the back and forth or writing characters flirting. Description is a little harder for me because I know setting the scene is important but it’s so mechanical that I tend to lose my train of thought!

5. Favorite fic/book of all time?

This is such a hard question! So many things I could write here and I always have a hard time narrowing down options...

Books: Harry Potter was a super important book series for me growing up, I also love anything by Bob Goff because he’s so inspiring and positive and I just recently finished Where the Crawdads Sing which was so southern, beautiful and tragic all at once (would highly reccomend).

Fics: so I’ve had a recent obsession with @burninghoneyatdusk ‘s fic “Homesick (It’s a bittersweet feeling) guys it is such a beautifully woven love story i thought about it for DAYS after I finished reading 10/10 amazing!! Also anything by my dear pal @ktanansi but her quarintine fic is so sweet and spicy just ugh love it!

Hmm those are the two I’m actively reading rn, I have a hard time seeking out fic to read but if you write modern AU romance or have any good ones send them my way pls!

6. Favorite Tropes

Friends to lovers! Kid fics! Adopting kids in fics! Two people who aren’t together raising kids and falling in love! Slow burns! Enemies to friends to lovers!

Seeing a pattern here?

7. Are you the kind of person to work on more than one WIP?

Hmm this is tough! I go back and fourth on this...I have two fics I wrote by themselves and focused solely on them and I am absolutely more emotionally attached tho those stories. I think for stories that are a little more serious and intricate I like to focus on them independently because I want to be able to keep the storyline and plot details straight (Instant Family was one of these). But with more lighthearted things I tend to work on a few at once so that the humor stays fresh and I don’t let it get to angsty.

8. How long have you been writing for?

I got my start on FFN when you still had to give copyright warnings and you could leave author’s notes in the middle of your fics lol...meaning I’m ancient as heckingbob y’all. I think I’ve been writing for over 13 years? I used to write cringe worthy dramione fic and Rory/Jess fic for Gilmore girls back when I had no idea what relationships were and I thought a huge kiss at the end was a great piece of tension relief!

I took about an 8-9 year break and then fell onto the Bellarke fandom and wrote “Life as we Know it” on a whim! I’ve been back for almost a year now and everything about fan fiction is so different (a lot of it in a good way) but it’s been so wonderful to be creative and write stories again.

9. Do you tend to write more in the afternoon or evening?

I work full time in PR and am also in school so I tend to do most of my writing at night while I’m unwinding with a glass of wine ;) this is the way I decompress from my job hahah it’s why I often give Clarke some interaction of my career and take all my frustration out on it! It’s also usually something I do whenever on weekends when the inspo strikes.

10. Do you prefer to post your WIP chapter by chapter, or do you prefer to wait until it’s 100% done before posting?

I think for me, the best part about writing fic vs writing traditional novels is the ability to get chapter by chapter feedback and communicate with readers as I write! I love seeing the little nuances people find in my writing (often things I don’t see myself) and incorporating it into my stories. There’s also been times where I’ve had certain plot points planned and then scrapped them based on the reactions to the build up! So I think I’m for sure a chapter by chapter person!

Tagging: @ktanansi @sassmasterblake and anyone else who wants to do this (I need more author friends send me ur fics I want to read them!)

ANIFA HANIFA (ANTIFA :)

(?)

  The past two weeks I’ve had a tonsil/sinus thing. I had trouble eating or opening my jaw, couldn’t sleep, was having bizarre dreams about the George Floyd protests and Anifa’s virtual collection kept cropping up in that exhausted head space. There’s been a lot of talk about how it was ‘a first’ or something. I hate talk of ‘firsts’, it’s not accurate, it’s not how culture works. Things build upon other similar things and shit develops collectively. That said, this was a real fucking moment and the work is strong. This is a victory in the fight against fashion’s outdated hierarchy and gatekeeping. This is a viral success that signalled the turn away from the fashion capitals and the increasingly void mainstream fashion media. Black twitter forced the BS press to acknowledge that this was a real decentralised fashion development that they had nothing to do with creating, an independent designer building up her vision and her fashion language and it really landed. I learnt something from this collection, and the spinelessness of vogue etc means her work isn’t being imaginatively analysed, so I’m going to attempt that here.

Anifa Mvuemba lives in Maryland and is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This collection was a while in the planning (7 months) and was intended to be a presentation at New York Fashion Week, but with covid cancellations, Mvuemba pushed ahead and decided to present her work when it felt ready and right, on the 22nd May. As we’ve all been reminded wrt this, this technology has been bubbling away for a little while now, but with the ‘Pink Label Congo’ collection, we’re seeing a notable combination of factors. A new recipe. The clothes are a combination of fashion forward contemporary and personal expression on the designer’s part, and mixed in is a message about the social impact of mining for smartphone supplies (cobalt) on the people of the Congo. And while her label, Hanifa, has been healthily developing since its inception, the viral success of this small collection is a really encouraging example of how digital fashion has the power to cut out legacy tastemakers and traditional media and expand fashion’s storytelling power.

 The black background worked with the ghostly, fuller figured models to focus attention in quite a cold way; it reminded me of the chilling ‘dinner’ scenes in ‘Under the Skin’. If you haven’t seen it, go do so (if you like scary, which I assume you do if you’re reading this). ScarJo is so cold and freaky in that and the overall tone is one of brutal over-consumption, a chilly feast of otherness.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE56AUIDkag IDK how goth Anifa was seeing her own work as, but for me (someone who’ll see the dark side of anyythhinnng), the pure, cold setting was a twisted contrast with the one or two promo pics with full body/background, virtually produced, and with the soundscape that felt like colour and rhythm punching through from outside, with life and grit. Thw mix created a vibe that balanced on the edge between uplift and a hard stare at a brutalising reality, and the strength and life of ignored women shaped by a world unreal in its cruelty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXYBxXjj8cw Each outfit was communicating something more than pure flattery or glamour, even though these escapist aspects were present. The bodies looked amazing and like real people with total lives , even though we couldn’t see them. It’s hard to express how much we need fashion that understands its own power to communicate and entrance us towards a new light. The way the clothes moved on the absent bodies, while, sometimes feeling too virtual, too bouncy in the way that motion graphics are trending rn, was energising. The clothes were speaking to us directly, and demonstrating the power of clothes to build identity and go beyond mere window-dressing. To get people to engage with your story and vision. This was surface-as-content in a way. An interior exposure, (heartistry? :D).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjnFZtX_-V4 The designer states of her work: “My hope is that this collection inspires all women to stand tall in their power and like the Democratic Republic of Congo, to use their history, whether pretty or painful—to redesign their future. My country, the land of Congo, is ripe with an abundance of natural resources—the greatest of which are its people—its women.”

 The photographic prints really stood out for me. They felt like personal snapshots, like someone saying, ‘this is my home, my body, my vision, this matters to me, to us’. The Mái pieces worked the pattern and photo print to enliven a flat plane through fabric shaping. The copywriting functioned as an authentic part of her creative vision, and built another layer on the multimedia project: ‘The clouds in the Congolese skies are unforgettable. Mái Mini skirt accentuates the length of your legs. The ruching was intentionally placed to add the texture of the land. Accompanied with a classic white top, our Mái Mini will make a legendary statement to your wardrobe and mirror the freshness of the wind.’. IDK about you, but I like the idea of mini skirts that can make my world feel wide open and richer. My favourite look was the Mái maxi dress, which is described online thusly:

‘The Congo River - where the Atlantic Ocean kisses the land. This floor length maxi gown embodies the gentle confidence of the Congolese people. The off centered collar elegantly draws eyes to your neckline. As Mai’s silk georgette flows over your hips, the subtle placement of the green grassy hills call out your power within. This feminine design was created to flow like the rivers of Congo.’

 Fashion designers are so often wishing for recognition of the storytelling in their work, and this is so often pushed to one side by media that only gives a fuck about product. It is worth noting this collection has been a commercial success from a commercial designer, but its value lies in that it reaches beyond a strict customer base in a way that doesn’t reduce the enthusiasm of fashion fans down to ‘potential customer’. She used her viral moment to emphasize this, and said “I want these pieces to tell a story of meaning. I want them to remind us to be intentional about what we create. Not for clout or for Instagram likes, but for the sake of meaning what we say by storytelling through our designs.” Mvuemba also prioritises the emotive aspect of her work, as a designer who’s just a human being, not a walking brand, and seeing her quotes about worrying about timing of fashion in the covid era was relatable. We’re all worrying whether you can sensitively create fashion in a time when people are talking about hardcore material conditions, about unemployment and the economy and police brutality. I hope I’m being clear when I say this is a time to talk MORE about fashion, in a true way that doesn’t eliminate harsh reality, that makes it more accessible, more enthralling, less draining. I honestly believe this collection is a perfect example of how we can re-organise fashion culture so that its strengths contribute to the revolutionary project, which needs to keep its momentum. Fashion is many things: a way of keeping and organising time, a way of taking a breather, a way of bringing more delight into real life, a way to keep things spicy; ultimately, what I’m arguing is if leftists want people to engage with the hard work of radical change over time, they need fashion, because it aids our engagement with the world and can prevent burnout, by guiding us in rhythmic, energising, comprehensible change. I hope that makes sense.

I feel like the lies Mia and Chris told Ethan are on completely different levels because they affected Ethan very differently which makes forgiving one person easier than the other. Like with Mia in RE7, as we’ve stated before we don’t know her reasoning for joining and staying with The Connections. But no matter what honestly Mia payed for being in that organization and lying to Ethan. She was in hell for 3. Whole. Years. at the Baker house. Chances are it would’ve been for eternity and tbh Mia seemed to accept that punishment for herself. Like she already suffered for her lies so I mean I think we can forgive her on that. While yes she did play a part in Eveline (idk if it was just escorting her or if she was more directly involved), but it was her companion’s fault (I think his name was Adam?? Idk) for letting Eveline escape. And when Mia confirms this during her flashback and she sounds angry at Adam for doing so. So while yes she played a small part in what happened to the Bakers the blame rests more on Adam since he let her escape. And Ethan’s involvement wasn’t her fault, it was Eveline who brought her there. At the end of the day Mia payed for her involvement and seems sorry for her actions, and for me personally I find it easier to forgive someone when they regret what they’ve done and try to make it right. That’s why I forgive Mia for lying to Ethan the first time. And in RE8 I forgive Mia for lying again because like honestly that must have been hard to realize your husband was infected. And how was she to know that Ethan would have remained fine after she told him?? Like we’ve said Ethan is the first of his kind and Mia probably thought the key to him staying himself was his ignorance. And yes I agree Mia should have told him, but I understand completely why she felt she had to keep it a secret. While yes Ethan probably would have been frustrated that Mia kept something from him again he would have quickly empathized with her and forgiven her. And I forgive her too because dang I am not jealous of being in her shoes when she found out about Ethan.

Chris’ case is completely different. He belittles Ethan the whole game and makes it seem ridiculous that Ethan would want to be involved in getting Rose back even though that’s his family out there?? And they’re literally in this situation because of Chris’ actions at the beginning of the game?? For me Chris felt more egotistic and hubristic because like you said he just doubles down on his actions even though they were clearly wrong. After Chris “killed” Miranda at the beginning he should have given Ethan a quick explanation, even if it was just “that’s not your wife and we need to get rose and you out of here because you’re in danger.” Would Ethan have believed it? Maybe, who knows. But Chris didn’t. He made Ethan think his wife was dead and that Chris and his team were against Ethan when in reality they were all on the same team and should have been working together. The only time Chris is apologetic is when Ethan dies and honestly it should not have taken Ethan’s death to snap Chris out of his mindset that he was right. We don’t even see Chris apologize to Ethan or Mia. And I remember people got mad at Mia for freaking out at Chris when he rescues her and I’m just like?? Imagine being held captive for who knows how long and suddenly the man who promised to keep your family safe is like “hey your husband’s dead and your kid’s gone :(“ like?? Anyone would freak out and be upset? Am I saying that she was right to yell at him no (though I probably would have too lol) but like she’s been through hell again excuse her for having her nerves be a little fried. I also saw someone else say “Chris wasn’t the one who cut Ethan’s daughter up and tried to kill him on multiple accounts throughout the game he was just trying to help!!” And it’s like?? Yes he was trying to help but in the worst way possible?? It’s like saying “no offense” and then saying something hurtful. Just because you said “no offense” doesn’t make it any less offense and just because Chris was trying to help doesn’t excuse his actions. Chris’ lie put Ethan in emotional/mental distress because he thought he just saw his wife brutally murdered AND put him in physical distress since it was his call to escort Ethan and Rose which allowed them to fall into the hands of Miranda.

I kind of put Chris’ and Mia’s behavior as “Capcom wrote them shitty because they wanted to do a whole “Mia’s alive” plot twist and wanted to make the game ✨spicy✨by making it seem Chris was the bad guy”. But whenever I say that people are still like “No Chris did nothing wrong!!” Or “Well you forgive Mia so obviously you’re a hypocrite” and you know I feel like you can’t even compare Mia’s actions to Chris’ because like I said Chris’ actions hurt and put Ethan’s life more in danger than Mia’s did. Yes I can see how Mia’s lie in RE7 put his life in danger but her keeping Ethan’s condition from him in RE8 did not risk his life. And I already said it wasn’t Mia who forced Ethan to come it was Eveline. Plus people forget it was ETHAN’S choice to enter the house. He could have called the police but he didn’t because he loved Mia so much he himself wanted to make sure she was okay. Sorry for getting ranty im just tired of people saying we’re hypocrites when they don’t see they’re doing the same thing themselves.

Thanks for being patient with me! I love getting asks from y’all even tho I’m a little slow sometimes. Aha 😆

I def agree with the differences. Ive been replaying RE7 while I just watched my friend play re8 so the two games are fairly fresh in my mind. Ethan walks into RE7 on his terms and in re8 he’s essentially kidnapped. That’s such a great point and I really hadn’t thought of it. He’s brought into hell differently and I think that is important to recognize.

Mia tried to keep Ethan away from Dulvey and it failed. She didn’t have time to explain and her msg never got through anyway. It wouldn’t have happened if Alan hadn’t messed up with eveline. And Mia absolutely paid severely for it for three years. She killed a person and harmed her husband with scars he’ll always carry. We don’t even know what she suffered with but it was three long years. She’s terrified when Ethan finds her so I’m sure the imagination can cover that further. I’m sure it was hell.

And like you mentioned, it’s Eveline that invites Ethan there, not Mia. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t indirectly have something to do with this. But when shit hits the fan, she owns it which means a lot to me.

I’ve said somewhere months ago I don’t care if Mias motivations were bad when she joined the connections. We’ll probably never know. But we do know Mia’s motivations with Ethan perfectly. The minute her job is gonna impact him (when eveline takes over on the boat) she levelsets. She’s honest w Ethan as much as she can be and then as much as he wants after re7. The whole mold thing just doesn’t count. Y’all really what do we expect her to say lol

As for Chris, watching his scenes again today I’m just so frustrated. I agree Capcom wanted him to be this way to draw out the Miranda Mia reveal and it was a baaaaaad decision on Cspcoms part. Especially when Chris tells him to stay away after Ethan’s taken out a couple bosses already and some minor ones. If they didn’t want the reveal till later, then don’t have Ethan and Chris talk because the first thing Chris tells him was something about being surprised he survived this long shame if you would die. And it’s like no???? This isn’t what we need to be saying rn. Ethan is a rage machine thinking you killed his wife. Maybe just be honest. Chris mentions he saw the evidence of Ethan being there so clearly the man’s doing just fine. And it’s not just my thoughts on this. The game makes it a point to highlight Chris’ mistake. I don’t know why Capcom went this route and I personally don’t like it. But it’s canonically true.

And yeah I don’t think anyone is accusing Chris of actually killing Ethan. We know he didn’t. He just didn’t help. Chris did more in re7. Its like Capcom wanted him in there and didn’t actually know what to do w him. His part was so small I couldn’t believe it was already over. Honestly the last 30 minutes of this game hurts my brain lol

I saw the Mia push Chris thing briefly cause a friend sent it to me and they had some questions about it. But I didn’t spend too long on it cause I guess I just didn’t care what was being said. I figure I didn’t like that Chris slammed his fist at the end in front of Mia when she’s the one who just lost a husband so we’re even.

You’re welcome to rant to me anytime. I hope I captured most of your ask because you made outstanding points and I really agree. Ultimately, it comes down to perspectives here and what people find more severe. One of my best friends doesn’t like Mia and she only saves her cause I’m watching. And I love her w my whole heart. I don’t think it requires defensiveness. We all intake media differently and it’s okay to have flawed characters.
