Me: I finished season 4 of Bungo Stray Dogs! Now I have the rest of my weekend to-

Responsable Side Of Squiggily's Brain: Finally do those errands you keep putting off, get back on a proper sleep schedule, and catch up on the half-dozen animes you're halfway through?

Me: *staring in simp at the various pretty love interests in Piofiore* Huh what?

His stomach churns and bile burns at the back of his throat. He swallows it down, forces it back into the pit of his stomach. He shoves it down with the panic and the fatigue. It takes everything in him. It takes the dregs of his long empty reserve of energy— his insides bloody and raw from scraping up every ounce of strength he has.

Tommy has to keep it together. He has to stay standing.

He has to keep his eyes on Evan. Evan, who is getting further and further away, Tommy’s vision tunneling and fading. Something that was supposed to be the shape of Evan’s name sticks in his throat.

He has to stay with Evan.

He has to stay.

He has to.

He—

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Thanks for the tag @gia-d! I’ve been wanting to do this one but executive dysfunction/autistic vampirism meant I needed an invitation 🙃

First, I’m only including my current fandoms in this list, so that’s Linked Universe and Four Swords (and maybe a tiny bit of general Legend of Zelda).

Second, PLEASE feel free to ask questions!!! I love talking about my fics!!!

And finally, the fic that's so large it has its own Scrivener project yet somehow doesn't have a name: the Child!Wild AU!

I definitely don't know as many people as I have wips, let alone ones who write. No-pressure tags for the ones I do have: @zarvasace, @akchimp75, @oneweirdbookaddict, @uncleskyrule, @sister-dear, and anyone else who wants to play!

Murder Mystery at Jabba's Palace has me intrigued 👀

AS IT SHOULD!! This one is very fun for me because it doesn’t have to be some big overarching plot connected to the bigger universe with Themes and Parallels, it’s just plain fun

I was on a murder mystery kick for a while some time back and got to thinking about what it would take for there to be a semi-kind of 1940s nightclub/mafia headquarters vibe to the palace after the events of TBoBF (though in my head this is after a revised TBoBF so there are some changes to several characters and new characters altogether in the mix)

In the revised TBoBF, Boba has a tenuous alliance with the Trandoshan crime family, the head of the family in this story having been usurped by his younger ambitious son, Ressik. Here, the son has leveraged something Boba wants against him in exchange for Boba agreeing to host an extravagant party with a specific band at the palace at the demand of Ressik’s fiancée. Boba initially refuses because this is his place of business, not the lowlife outpost of Jabba’s cronies it used to be, but the more lucrative the offer becomes in terms of an eventual exchange of favors, the more Fennec’s telling him “Look maybe ONE party wouldn’t be a bad thing, we kick them out come sunsrise and you don’t have to do it again,” so Boba finally relents.

One ☝️ semi-respectable nightclub party. He doesn’t want to become known for this, and this is his place. They’re running things how he sees fit.

It takes a fair bit of money to convince Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes to come back to Jabba’s Palace— because that’s all anyone is going to know it as for a while— the band having already escaped from Jabba once, but once D’an sees proof of the change in ownership and Fett proves this is a genuine commission and not a ploy to get and keep them there for the foreseeable future, he starts to eye the amount of credits Fennec’s offering on Fett’s behalf with keen interest; the Modal Nodes try to convince him not to do it, but he’s the frontman for the band and technically owns most of their instruments, so regardless of the fact D’an is known to be bad with money and still insists on gambling despite his debts, they have no choice but to come along with him when he agrees.

Night of the event comes and we as the audience get to see our cast of suspects and uninvited guests start to arrive: Mando’s been paid to be there as extra security. The marshal, Jo, and Taanti are in from Mos Pelgo. Garsa Fwip politely but firmly declined Fett’s offer, so the blue Twi’lek from Jabba and Bib Fortuna’s rule is the singer opening for the band onstage before the main event. Peli Motto somehow secured an invitation, or at least a convincing approximation of one, and Fett, Fennec, and Mando all don’t care enough to throw her out anyway. Krrsantan is also there, and that’s creating some unfortunate tension with the Trandoshan guests, the nosy B’omarr monks are skittering around the halls unnerving people in their search for gossip enlightenment, and wait is that Lando Calrissian in the background—?

Things seem to be going well with only minimal squabbles throughout the night, but when the band gets up for their second set close to midnight, something goes terribly wrong: Figrin D’an collapses, dying onstage in front of everyone with no discernible cause as to why or how. The Trandoshan noble is furious, and Boba and his crew lock down the palace because they have until sunrise to solve the murder, or the Trandoshans promise there’ll be hell to pay.

buckley siblings road trip??? please and thank you??? 👀

After I watched Buck Begins for the first time back in June I was like what if Maddie actually left with Buck that night when she gave him the Jeep? I veered slightly off course bc I'm a sucker for angst, so they leave a teeeeensy bit later, but I cannot wait to write this in full :D

For now, all I have is a loose outline, a few half-assed snippets, and this bit that's most likely going to be my summary, so hopefully this will suffice lol

“What the hell happened to you?” he asks, horrified. “It was…a mugging,” she says quickly. “It's not as bad as it looks.” Even as the words leave her mouth, she knows he won't believe it. But she can't talk about it yet, can't admit how weak she's become. Not to her little brother, the one she's been protecting since he was born, who's looking at her like he knows, and Maddie wants to crawl out of her skin. “Maddie—” “Please just drive before I change my mind,” she snaps, begs. She needs to be far away from here as fast as possible, before Doug realizes she’s missing, before he chases them down and drags her back. Maddie doesn’t want to consider what he might do to Evan, can’t bear the idea of him laying a hand on him. Evan stares at her for one second, two, concern etched in every line of him. She braces for the dressing down she's sure is coming, the demands for an explanation she doesn't know how to give. Her hand trembles just below the door handle, subtle and waiting and ready to fling open the door and bolt at the first exclamation. It doesn’t come. Instead, Evan shifts gears and drives. or: Maddie runs away with Buck when he asks, the two of them embark on a healing road trip across the U.S., and Maddie acquires a kitten, not necessarily in that order.

I must inquire how both life and writing are treating you. I crave life update.

Well, I've got good news and bad news. Nothing's canceled, don't worry. It's kinda rambly, so I put it under the keep reading tab, but tl;dr is that more personal life stuff occurred that has dramatically altered the way I go about living for the time being. If you'd like to know more, go ahead.

The good news is that my schedule has recently opened up quite dramatically as of late, which theoretically means I have much more time for writing. The bad news is that the reason for this is that last week I injured my knee bad enough to where I can no longer walk on my own, and therefore no longer work. Very likely a meniscus injury, which is to say the best case scenario is that I need a few weeks of physical therapy to be able to walk again. I've got an MRI scheduled for tomorrow, so I'll know what's going on for sure following that.

On the bright side, I don't live alone, so I've been able to live a relatively comfortable existence despite that - just a lot of adjusting and having to rely on others (which is anathema to me btw bc my dumb ass brain keeps trying to convince me I'm burdening other people despite the fact I literally cannot help myself right now). This was also an injury that happened on the job, so I'm likely covered by Worker's Compensation. From what I understand, it's a pretty common injury among athletes, but an athlete I am not. I've already gone through the low points mental health-wise regarding all this, and these past few days have been spent just taking it easy and doing my best to make this entire situation something I can laugh about.

Sorry that this is just something that I'm dropping out of nowhere, but life does like to just throw shit at you like that - and I in particular can't seem to catch a break. But hey, if I'm feeling up to it here soon, I've got a lot more time on my hands to get back to work on Act 2.

inspired by @colap1nto <3 and posting here to hold myself accountable: writevember! attempting to write something every day no matter how much and what it is

i am however inventing stipulations for myself so i cannot weasel my way out of it, which includes a valid definition of “write”:

actively put words into a document in the form of a proper fic!!! too many wip not enough hands!!

poems (actually laughed at me coming up with this but maybe i will go back to my roots)

research/meta/primers

tag stories are permissible IF i actually compile and edit them into a readable document that day

editing to post to ao3 (the optimism) is also valid. it takes me so long

i do have concrete arbitrary deadlines for one and a half fics that i would LOVE to finish and post in november (dewey^2 and [redacted :)]) so i’m hoping this helps!! also, this is secretly just a sticker chart where i get to put down emojis for each fic i worked on and check off boxes but a win is a win

WRITEMBER RECAP: an overall sucess!!!! this was so much fun and really forced me to write even if it was only a little bit every day. like, to the point that i'm debating doing a cute little twelve days of christmas snippet fest. absolutely could not have finished and published dewey^2 p2 without this challenge or posted p3 :)

thirty days of writing

twelve different fics worked on

poems: 1

i have no word count for you sorry i wish i did but it is at least over a few thousand words!!!!

times i wrote for a day past midnight (making it technically the next day) but because i was still awake i counted it for that day: at least 17 if not closer to like. 25

tags i forgot what they mean: one. what the FUCK is 🪢??? OH MY GOD I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS NEVERMIND

Wow that ask meme has so many options! Okay please ignore any you don't feel like answering but: 20, 24, 31, 63, 64, 74

@sarahserinde

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

Specific wording i don't notice as much, until an editor or beta mentions it and then i block out the memory lol ("in response" was called out in the last chapter of DSM if i remember correctly). I do like comeuppance (Don't Shoot the Messenger, Finally Woken), mutual pining (love me a "they both think the other doesn't like them 'like that' and they dont want to jeopardize the friendship"), heats (FW, Snapped, Voluntary Sacrifice) and a main character taking the reins of their own life (DSM, NWWD, FW).

24. already answered here

31. Do you start with the characters or the plot when writing?

Depends on the story to be honest. Nothing's Wrong with Dale started with a writing prompt so plot (you're bf has been replaced with an eldritch being pretending but you like them better). Snapped started with the my alien boy Mech and the idea of sudden heat together. Selfish was definitely both characters first. I tend to have a lot of stray pieces of ideas that roll around in my brain, waiting for the right ones to stick together, so often i don't have a story idea until the plot and characters knock into each other. Don't Shoot the messenger I had the dynamic between the characters (personally and of lord and messenger) before i had anything else--pirates were not involved for a while. Sacrifice, i'd see a post for a while about "why in movies, whenever you translate the temple writing it always rhymes in english", and i had the idea for a hermit forest god with antlers, and then some ritual stuff, but it wasn't until I connected them all that there was a Story.

63. Something you hate to see in smut.

All personal taste, but like everyone i think, i've got certain words/terminology I find more cringe-y/squick-y than others so than can make me stop reading (too slang-y, too anatomical, etc). Otherwise, anytime it feels forced where I'm like, do the characters even want to be here/does it make sense that they are here in context and if not, why am i here? Like the writer forgot to make the characters care and they seem indifferent to what's happening. Why do i care then? Doesn't compel me.

64. Something you love to see in smut.

Characters who are here for the smut, even if they are nervous or worried they're making a mistake or whatever, but who just need to have sex now, who want each other so much. (AKA opposite of above) Pulls me right in with them and makes me enjoy the ride.

74. You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it?

No idea to be honest lol. I feel like you'd have to ask someone else. I'm too in my own head to really call something like that out. If someone ever manages to connect any of my AO3 accounts to each other based soley on the writing vibes, I'll ask ^^

these were fun questions, thanks for sending them in! ask list

Hello <3

Can I ask u to talk about "how to build a family for dummies?" That sounds really cute (*^^*)

Hi there! 💜

Unfortunately, it's not very cute at all x'D

Or, well, that's not entirely true. It would end happily because that's the only way I want my stories to end, but it deals with pretty heavy subjects and there would be quite a lot of angst involved. Which, admittedly, is why I'm still not entirely sure if I want to write this one since angst isn't really my thing. BUT it also has a lot of fascinating introspection from Yo Han so that might end up being what tips the scale.

Basically, it's a fic that goes deeper into what I wrote in this earlier ask about how Yo Han would need a lot of time to figure out whether or not he wants kids. After all, there's a lot to work through what with his own childhood and how he perceives himself as something not quite human. And, I mean, how fascinating wouldn't that be? To watch him try to think his way through a decision like that?

Anyhow. I wrote in the tags to that post that I don't even want to IMAGINE how painful it would be if Ga On was led to believe that Yo Han doesn't want kids because he'd be so heartbroken and disappointed — since Ga On definitely wants kids — but also wouldn't want to pressure Yo Han. So he'd just swallow it down and pretend that everything was fine. Except it's clearly not.

And I was foolish enough to say "I refuse to even entertain the idea" because, as we all know: famous last words.

Because I started wondering just what that would do to Yo Han. Like, what would he think and feel when he realises that he accidentally broke Ga On's heart and now has to figure out if he actually wants kids after all. Because he knows that just saying he's changed his mind won't work since Ga On wouldn't want Yo Han to lie to him about something like that. Yo Han would have to mean it and that would only increase the stakes in his mind.

Also, imagine Yo Han's brain running on overdrive trying to analyse every little thing Ga On does, wanting to figure out if he's made irreparable damage to their relationship. Like, he'd try to see if Ga On's smiles have become less bright, if his hugs have become less enthusiastic, if he's become more guarded, if he's become more distracted etc. etc.

It would be such a goddamn mess inside Yo Han's head.

Basically, what I find fascinating about this fic would be Yo Han's thought process and how he tries to deal with all the emotions and complications the situation causes. But it would also hurt because Ga On would be sad and if Ga On is sad, Yo Han is sad. Everyone would be sad.

But it would also include this hilarious exchange between Yo Han and Elijah, once Yo Han is beginning to get used to the idea of getting kids and has to see how Elijah would react to it.

Sooo yeah. I'm still on the fence about this one, I will admit, but it would be a pretty nice change of pace since it would basically be more of a stream-of-consciousness thing from Yo Han's POV rather than something plot-heavy. So we'll see!

Maybe I'll write it, maybe I won't.

your Kon post was sooooo good, like yes the core four are queer platonic, however Kon is hypersexual enough to have made out with (or more) everyone in young justice at least once, yes, including the non-corporal Greta don’t ask me how that worked

I love all of these posts!!! how many of these ask game things do you have in your inbox??

thank you so much!! and i ABSOLUTELY agree with you on hypersexual Kon (truly i just adore characters with grooming/rape trauma like Kon coping through the lense of hypersexuality) and even if YJ is queerplatonic, Kon has made his way through most of them. including Greta. he's creative he'd find a way. probably involving TTK. bc TTK in sex is a thought i have daily. endless potential for using it to basically turn someone's body into a living fleshlight he can manipulate from the inside out- specifically have a TimKonBart idea in my head about that where Kon coaches Bart through sex, since Bart is a speedster with a bonkers refractory period who struggles to feel satisfied, and Tim is caught between them getting used to get Bart off with Kon using TTK to manipulate Tim's body. fun times. fun ideas.

currently, i have one more ask game ask in my inbox (tho always feel free to send more!) that's BruJay focused. though i *do* also have a couple other asks that are just ideas i pan to use as prompts for full fics. just haven't gotten to those yet bc i'm currently busy with packing to move states so. i have *not* had the time to write i wish i had. i will not reveal too much but one involves JayTim fucking during the Titans Tower incident, another is JayTim with animal traits leading to porn, and then another is Tim/Kon/Jon with incest kink stuff. so! i have many things planned, i just need to settle into my new place, however long that takes.
