To see the fics I’m talking about, here’s my ao3 ! (I’m including a WIP or two in this that i am THIS CLOSE to being done with and plan on posting before the year is out and I don’t have much else 🤷‍♀️)

Which Of Your Fics...

Did you think would get a bigger reaction/audience than it got: HONESTLY I was expecting “Hit And Run” to get more hits. It got way more genuine love in the comments than I ever expected from the people who did read it (including so many writers I admire *swoon*) so who cares, truly! I just forget how few people actually ship zutaraang.

Is your funniest: i actually think my korrasami WIP is very funny but that’s because i think Korra has a good sense of humor and her banter with Bolin is like the first half of the fic lmao. Out of my published stuff I would say “Better Left Unsaid” is more consistently funny throughout, but i did actually laugh out loud writing “Hit And Run” because of the ending!

Is your darkest/angstiest: none of my published/complete work because it’s not quite my style, but I have a Rangshi WIP that will be posted soon that is quite angsty and depressing feat. What if Rangi and Kyoshi didn’t get together and Rangi fucked with Kyoshi’s emotions because of her internalized homophobia ???? why am i writing it? Good question.

Is your absolute favorite: i love all my children equally i refuse to answer this (i actually just can’t decide)

Is your least favorite: mmm probably my most recent one “watch it spin”, which is actually not ATLA but a SPOP fic focused on Catra and Perfuma becoming friends (a big hc of mine) and getting high together (based off some funny fan art). I only say it’s my least fave because it’s not my best work, but it is very niche and self-indulgent and I’m glad it’s in the universe for my own sake!

Was the easiest to write: “Better Left Unsaid”! That one only took a couple of hours. Started as just a warm up for something else and then I was like ‘oh this is cute’ :)

Was the hardest to write: “Wanna Follow Your Voice...”! It was the first fic I had written in YEARS, first for ATLA, and I had never done anything with chapters before. I spent a lot of time on it! Just figuring out the pacing and the events I wanted to include and trying to maintain a consistent tone over time was not easy.

Has your favorite line/exchange/paragraph (share it): gosh this is so hard!!!! I have favorites from all of them. I really was proud of how in “Wanna Follow Your Voice” zuko connects flashes from his dreams to his actual interactions with Aang (too much to share here). But have this bit from “Hit And Run” because it’s peak romcom imo —

Before even Aang can react, heat bursts from Zuko’s finger tips, lighting the poor, unassuming bartender’s beard on fire.

“Shit,” Zuko mutters, and jumps up. The bartender is screaming now, haplessly batting at his own chest to try and stop the flames from spreading.

Katara reacts in time with Zuko, pulling him towards the door while the other customers around him clamor to help the bartender, Rin and Aang included.

Zuko takes the opportunity to grab Aang’s wrist, dragging him away from the scene.

Luckily, no one realized where the flame came from, so their timely exit goes unnoticed. By the time Rin stops and looks for ‘Lee’, they’re already out the door and scaling the building next door to get out of sight.

When they reach the rooftop, they all collapse on their backs and catch their breath. Aang pulls off his bandana and wipes it across his brow.

“Well that’s one way to claim your territory,” Aang grinned. The three of them burst out laughing simultaneously.

When their laughter settles, Katara shoves Aang’s shoulder.

“Hey, you’re a little too good at charming the pants off of our enemies. Tone it down a notch next time.”

“I can’t help that the people love me.” He throws his hands up in resignation, drawing out another laugh from Zuko and Katara.

“I have to say Zuko,” Aang starts as he sits up, leaning back on his hands. “You must really love me if you’re willing to set someone on fire out of jealousy.”

Zuko covers his face with his hands, and an embarrassed groan pushes past his lips before he can stop it. “I didn’t mean to set anyone on fire!” he exclaims.

Have you reread the most: “hit and run” but only because people left the most kind and detailed comments about stuff that I genuinely forgot I put in there so I would go back to refresh my own memory LOL

Would you recommend to someone reading your work for the first time: “Better Left Unsaid”, most likely. It’s short and simple, lighthearted, not too shippy, but still captures my writing style well I think.

Are you most proud of: mmmm “Hit And Run” because I really like the way it turned out. It required the most ‘world building’ (so to speak) which is really not something I feel confident doing, but I think I did well with it! Plus it has an OC who I actually loved creating and would totally write about again.

So fun. Gunna tag @kuchee @jaystrifes and @flerkenkiddingme to do this ♥️🥰

‘hello hello better late than never!!! welcome to my 2020 creators wrapped!!! thank you for the tags my wonderful friends: @lewixco @shoeydaniel @pierreswrists you are all wonderful people yourselves!!!

rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

5. Who is this guy? Edit Series - this one was SUCH a fun series cause I eventually jumped on the bandwagon and asked my friend who the drivers and some team bosses were. It was so cool to get her to answer and as lame as it is, i had never edited anything so even taking that first step to make something was really cool for me!! I’m still laughing at a few of my favs. including: one of the guys in the elevator with Captain America, the “i had to do it to them” guy but pumpkin spice latte version, and Lewis!! (yes she straight up knew who Lewis was I am still so proud)

4. out there’s a land where time don’t command - HAHAAHA THIS ONE. OOF. So...i can’t explain why i love this one other than the fact that i just do. Like...its so so simple but i saw that damn picture of seb and daniel and it looked like they should’ve been under stars so then i go oh! stars -> camping. And the idea was born. I didn’t even write it in a shippy way i just really wanted to write something with those two. I think i’m also proud of it because it was the first time for me writing seb and truthfully, i still stand by my characterization of him. Anyway its just such a soft fic and i love it so so much. It’s very near and dear to my heart and if you ever want to get to know me as a person, there are many clues in that fic with some choices of characterization or phrases or whatever.

3. but it would’ve been fun if you could’ve been the one - even though this is maxiel and i don’t write them anymore, this fic holds SUCH a deep spot in my heart because it was the first thing i ever felt confident enough to show anyone else. Like sure okay i wrote stuff for years and whatever but none of it ever felt good enough. Then, I hear “the 1″ by Taylor Swift and I just got so fixated on this idea. I spent the entire night writing and published it the next day. I got great feedback from it and just...it felt right and good. It felt like i had finally found a supportive enough community to encourage my random song fics and whatnot. So, it holds soft spot not only for getting me to write again but to actually introducing me to so many other wonderful and talented people.

2. The One Where They All Go To College - This fic is honestly so much fun to write. My good ‘ol fixation on the tv show Community inspired me to write a really fun fic about the. twitch quartet and a few others attending a college. That’s an absolute terrible summary but i love writing it and i’m proud it cause it kind of shows how far my writing has come this year. I linked to my mood board i made for it but that link also has the link to the story if anyone wants to read it!!! i. know i’m shocked its not number one, even though i’m extremely proud. of it...there’s one i’m more proud of....

1. laughing ‘til our ribs get tough but that will never be enough - there are moments that i’m still SHOCKED i wrote this. not because of the content but because of the style. and let’s be real here, Lorde wrote it as much as i did since I blasted “Ribs” the entire time i wrote this. Again it was another one of those that would not leave me alone until i wrote it and it even started out as an actual song fic! HOWEVER (a little author’s commentary here) i could not figure out some of the ways to...direct I guess. I wanted specific tones of esteban yelling or pierre chuckling and unfortunately, it wasn’t a screenplay. Back when i wrote screenplays and scripts it was so much easier to put LITERAL directions in there. So what did i do but put my passion for music and turn it into a writing style. I used musical directions to convey the feelings i was struggling with and while that isn’t a mind blowing concept, it was for me. I’m so so proud of how this one turned out and i will always be chasing the high of me figuring out that you can use musical directions in fics.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE THAT HAVE CREATED CONTENT ALL THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. YOU ARE ALL INCREDIBLE AND AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU ALL AND ALL THE HARD WORK YOU POUR INTO YOUR FICS, EDITS, ETC.

#thank you SO SO MUCH FOR TAGGING ME #i honestly do not know who has done this and who hasn't and i'm extremely late so #i'm really sorry but i'm not tagging anyone #HOWEVER i love all these incredible content creators out there you are amazing people #tag game #my stuff #my writing

ngl i find it kind of creepy that, even in an au, you ship purple guy and vannie ;^; purple guy is an old gross guy who preys on people and vannie is a canonly nonconsenting young lady. just seems creepy and predatory to me ;^; i love purple guy to which is why i follow you but this feels a little off ;; why do you ship it, even in an au when you could make a cool character to ship with purple guy who is equally as creepy cause you have good art and are creative >;

Thank you for not being mean or aggressive about this, and if you want me to tag it, I can totally do that if it still makes you uncomfortable. I apologize in advance for this long post but I just want to ease people’s concerns because I get it, it doesn’t look good if you don’t know the context lmao.

I agree with you that the canon characters do not have a good relationship, it would be creepy and predatory as they are in canon, and I would absolutely abhore it as it is. (I mean, I think it’s gonna be really interesting from a non-shippy point and I’m excited for the new game) We’re on the same page there, I get sick to my stomach when I see people ship things in that way- nonconsensual, a predatory older man and a scared younger woman (could be any gender and it’d still be bad tho) hell, even Jack x Ashi from Samurai Jack makes me mega uncomfortable (but its more with the canon writing itself and not the shippers).

But, that’s exactly what I don’t ship. I don’t ship canon William and Vanny, never have. No one else I associate with does either. There’s a huge difference between what I ship and what their canon relationship is. What happened was, me and some friends, before we knew more about the AR e-mails and more about their relationship, sorta came up with our own cutesy/non abusive headcanons and characterizations, and we got attached to them, they sorta became their own thing away from canon and that’s what we ship.

We balance them out, William is still evil and kills people obviously but Vanny isn’t a helpless, scared little girl, she’s a programmer/technician and has the power to put him in his place if need be. Believe me, people fetishizing women as helpless and scared in their relationships with men triggers me. That’s not cute, that’s not shippy, and that’s not how we ship them. I like the idea of them being an edgy serial killer couple on the same footing without some gross or serious power imbalance, or Vanny is an edgelord fangirl of his and is just as creepy/evil as he is, but she’s not afraid of him. My fave interpretation (and yes, I’m aware it’s not canon) is that Vanny’s an edgy fangirl and she wants to help him BUT she’s too chicken to actually go kill people like he wants, or something like that, and that’s all that the “reluctance” is. That, and, it’s worth mentioning that we mainly headcanon Vanny as uh, the opposite of submissive to him... so we’re definitely not shipping them as “William is preying on her and she’s powerless/being coerced”. Oh no. Most of the time we’re (OR AT LEAST I AM) thirsting over Vanny being uh..... not submissive......

It’s like, for us, (and I don’t speak for all my friends that ship this BUT this is like, what we all usually talk about) this ship is more of a campy, fluffy, kinda silly thing, and as far as I’m aware, among my friends, none of us ship them in an abusive or gross way. If anyone did, then i wouldn’t agree with that interpretation of the ship (unless it was done as like, story that handles it well and not meant to be actually shipped, but that’s completely different)

I’ll also admit that in this ship, I do make William a sOFTER version of his canon self, (listen I love giving horrible villains actual personalities. like, they’re evil and bad and irredeemable but also maybe they’d behave long enough to get snuggles and genuinely treat someone they’re dating with respect while still killing other people and also they have other interests and hobbies sometimes other than murder, so they’re more like a person and not just a cartoonish monster 24/7. It’s not to try to excuse their crimes, it’s just, for fun.) and he’s like, not abusive.

Yes, it’s pretty canon divergent, Vanny would probably be considered a different character at that point, but there’s so much other fanon and fan works that also stray really far away from canon. That’s been a thing in the FNAF fandom since like, forever. People have been making great and wildly successful AUs for FNAF for a long time, and I don’t see how this is much different. People have even found ways to make Henry x William work in a non disgusting way. Canonically? Hell no! But that’s what’s nice about this fandom, since we’re only given vague fragments of canon at a time, we’ve been given the freedom to come up with all these aus, and they’re great. And even when new canon stuff comes along that proves it wrong, they’re still great on their own. Sometimes, when people ship these things, they’re not shipping it because they LIKE abusive relationships, they’re doing it in spite of it because they got attatched to their own version of the characters and they make it their own, non-abusive thing.

Sorry this was so long but i hope this gets rid of your fear of me like actually being a fuckin creep and shipping something actually nasty. I really don’t want people to think that about me lmao and it’s not at all what Vanilliam is to me or my friends.

That being said, since you mentioned me making a cool character to ship with him, I AM making my own version of Mrs Afton and she’s. also evil and in on the murders and she’s a powerful goth milf?? so uh??? if you’re still uncomfortable with Vanilliam, stay tuned for that??????? lmao

oh hey it’s a shipping meme

kamibanani tagged me in this over a month ago, and i’ve been meaning to do it ever since, oops. time to take a stroll around the fandom block again

warning in advance, this is very long. i’ve contained the chaos under the cut!

1. Ultimate OTP

i already know this is a cop-out, but i really couldn’t pick one, because all the ships i’ve written have filled important roles in different parts of my life

nancy and butch were the first ship i let myself ship “in earnest,” instead of doing ship art and fanfic while loathing myself for it. in the same way, oleg and rosie went a long way toward getting rid of my sense of shame about doing shippy/romantic creative work. they’re an inherently ridiculous couple in an inherently ridiculous story, so i took it as a given that it was silly and pressed on.

zaeed and irina are kind of a reminder to myself that you have to let yourself be human to be in a relationship. you can’t be a marble statue. you have to be vulnerable. your partner will see you with no makeup, and find out what turns you on. they’re also in some ways about being embarrassed about who you’re attracted to, and struggling to reconcile who you are with who you think you should be. tgoed was another big, messy meatloaf about my relationship with men - how i love them but struggle with my fear of them hurting me, which makes jo snarky and dominant and sad and lonely all at once.

i can already tell this is going to be a monster of a post, so i’d better move on, oops

2. A ship you’ll always love

i still don’t want to make myself try to pick one, so it’s more a question of what relationship models i like

i like battle couples, i like snarky couples who play fight, i like couples who are understated about their affections for each other. any DINK couples will end up at least somewhere up there on my list, for many sappy reasons that i won’t bore you with. most of all, i like couples who know they don’t need each other, but they want to be with each other anyway, because it makes life that much better.

i also like when characters have a flaw that they’re able to overcome with love, because even if it’s not always realistic, it’s really satisfying to read. we may not be responsible for “fixing” our partners, but isn’t it nice when a relationship is a positive influence on someone? isn’t it nice to think that one character could bring out the best in another, and make the other want to do the same for them? again, i’m getting too deep here.

3. Your current obsession

hands down, marcus and livia, my favorite rogue girl and strong-eyebrowed boy. i’ve spent two years working with them for dangerous crowns and i still haven’t gotten tired of them.

i was talking to my mother about this over dinner the other night: marcus and livia know they’re at their best when they’re combined. marcus is the trope of the great general who’s bad at politics. i’ve said that before - he’s a shrewd tactician, but a blunt object at court. he’s also gotten everything in life by playing by the rules, so he’s squeamish about breaking them - and when he tries, the results can be unpredictable. livia, on the other hand, has enough guile for both of them. she can play courtiers like a fiddle, and has decades of spy skills to get her out of trouble. however, if she’s not careful, she gets too vigilante sometimes. she’s used to street justice, and marcus has to talk her down from some of her more drastic instincts.

neither one of them would be able to save histria by themselves. but together, they’re a serious threat, because they shield each other’s weak spots. and when things get dark and they do find themselves tilting toward a moral cliff, it’s their love for each other that pulls them back from the edge.

you know me, i could talk about marcus and livia all day. i don’t want to make the story out to be more than it is, but i put a lot of thought into them.

4. A ship you never thought you’d like

to be honest, i never saw myself getting into dragon age at all, in part because none of the love interests jumped out at me. and then i was like, “oh, who am i kidding? i write ships with unromanceable characters all the time.”

so, uh, congratulations, varric and carmine! you got me into a whole IP. sure, both my halfway-developed dragon age characters ended up being companion OCs instead of wardens, hawkes, or inquisitors, but whatever. since when have i enjoyed a game the way it was meant to be enjoyed

5. A ship you liked but don’t anymore

well, there was that kaidan/irina thing a few years ago. i know, i’m sorry, it’s the one i bring up every time.

kaidan and irina had the problem of being nice on paper, but thoroughly incompatible. kaidan is open with his affections. irina’s embarrassed by that. kaidan is casual. irina is formal to an infuriating fault. kaidan wants to keep the line of communication open at all times - he wants to talk about feelings, he wants you to be vulnerable so he can help. irina turns inward. she wants to suffer in private and come back in her own time. that would make kaidan pry further, which would make irina hide more, et cetera.

zaeed is more distant. that doesn’t sound healthy for her, but it’s actually what irina is more comfortable with. zaeed has been around enough to realize that she needs space, and also to know that her relationship demons have nothing to do with him. not how she needs to be perfect, not the shame she feels about sex, none of it. it’s not that he doesn’t care. it’s just that he knows better than to ask. zaeed has seen the weirdest, most strung-out parts of the galaxy. a woman who has trouble expressing her feelings is not that big a deal.

i feel bad for kaidan fans every time i talk about this one. i really don’t dislike him, the ship was just a bad fit. sometimes you write something thinking it’s going to be great, but the more you dig into it, the more you realize it doesn’t work.

6. A ship you think should be canon

i hate to admit it, but i prefer it when the few non-OC ships i like are never "confirmed onscreen,” and stay in the realm of unresolved tension. the payoff rarely satisfies me as much as what fans come up with. i think it’s the same principle people talk about with “showing the monster” in horror movies - the audience’s imagination is more effective than anything you can show them. [i’ve heard this attributed to hitchcock, but i can’t be sure it’s him.]

the ideal for me is when creators leave characters’ love lives blank, so i can smoosh an OC against them and thoroughly run away with it. my city now! my city now!! ｍｙｃｉｔｙｎｏｗ！！！

7. A canon ship you hate

bold of you to assume i’m actually going to say anything negative about the [various, but rare] canon ships i dislike that much

8. A ship you’ve shipped for years

at some point or other, i always come back to 47 and diana, mainly because they seem to pull through whatever challenges their franchise throws at them. i’ve already talked way too much about why i like their dynamic, so i’ll just link back to this post instead of putting you through another round of it!

9. A ship everyone loves but you don’t care about

going back to question 7, “a canon ship you hate,” this is what happens with like, almost every popular ship i see. it takes a lot of awfulness for me to sit up and go, “oh god, that ship.” either that, or it has to involve one of the tropes on my instant-kill list. even when a canon/canon ship is good - maybe even great! - i’m so used to “cooking my own food,” it has to really jump out at me for me to get attached to it.

99 times out of 100, ships float by me like a gentle breeze. it’s like that meme of the video game dad:

10. Favorite rare-pair

oh, come on, look at who you’re talking to 😂 this entire meme is rarepairs, i don’t know how to ship anything else!

#long post #like EXTREMELY long post #looks like i still have a lot of feelings about ships apparently #shipping meme #shitpost

The rules to this blog have been revamped. All followers are asked to please read :)

THE BASICS

I am selective & mutuals only.

I welcome both canon and OCs, but please have rules and a bio/about page available.

There will be no passwords or secret codes hidden in here, but please read.

FOLLOWING/UNFOLLOWING

I keep my blog to mutuals only, so please follow only if you’re genuinely interested in writing with me. All personals (except for the main blogs for side blogs) will be soft blocked.

I will not follow people who do not have a rules and about page.

Do not feel obligated to follow me back. If after a week someone hasn’t followed me back, I will unfollow them, no fuss.

I soft block. I know, it’s so anxiety-inducing to have someone poof from your followers list without any notice, but I view it like unfriending someone on Facebook. If for whatever reason I no longer feel the need or desire to follow you, I will soft block you.

If I follow you, it means I am open to writing with you. Don’t question it.

I do not mind OOC content, however, if it hogs my dash I may unfollow or mute you.

SHIPPING

I am multi-ship and multi-verse, so anyone is open to ship with Lily.

I love shipping. I am shipping trash, HOWEVER, I never go into an interaction pursuing or assuming a ship.

I ship chemistry.

Feel free to approach me if you’d like to ship— don’t be shy.

Do not force or assume a ship on me.

I do not do pre-established ships.

The ship can't be the central focus of our threads. Merely an element.

CONTENT

Mun is well over the age of 21, so nsfw friendly. It will be tagged appropriately and placed under a read-more. I will not RP nsfw content with anyone who does not mention being over 18 on their blog. I do not care if your country’s age of consent is younger than that.

No rape, suicide, detailed gore, or active drug use, please.

If you have any triggers, please let me know, I am not psychic. I myself do not have any triggers.

The closest thing to a trigger that I have is drug use and abuse, and addiction. You do not have to tag it, but just keep it away from threads with me, please.

All art featured on this blog is not mine. Banners, side images, icons, and promos are constructed by me but do not contain my own artwork.

Though rare, and only with muns whom I am comfortable with, there may be smut. It has to fit with the story. I am also cool with time skips, fading to black, and non-descript poetic summaries. Or, you know, just not writing smut in general.

KEYS TO WRITING WITH ME

I love plotting and communication. It’s my favorite part of RPing besides the writing part. I love being able to talk about our muses, threads, plotting, memeing it up, etc. I will not follow people who refuse to communicate with their mutuals.

I much prefer multi-para to novella. I am not picky and do not expect novella, I myself cannot always manage to write that much. But single liners do not motivate me. If you only write single liners or less than a paragraph, we won’t make great writing partners.

I’m a little iffy on thread hopping. If you lose your muse so fast you can’t even make it 2-3 responses into a single thread with me, I will likely lose all motivation to write with you. Nothing against you, but it can sometimes take a lot of time and energy to write, so it really bums me out when my threads with someone die immediately. I’m only comfortable with hopping around our muse’s timeline once they are familiar with each other. But constantly dropping threads kills my motivation to write and if you do this, no shaming, but we may not be the best writing partners.

I am a flexible roleplayer. If none of my muse’s verses work with yours, I am willing to create verses better suited. We just need to talk it out a bit as the verse may stay between the two of us.

Be patient with me. I have an extremely stressful and physically exhausting job. Most days I do not have the energy to write a ton. So please, do not pester me for a thread response. You may ask only once and only after a week has gone by.

I try to respond to my threads in the order in which I receive them. I try to not play favorites.

I will not inform you if and when I have dropped a thread because I don’t even know when I’ve dropped a thread.

Please do not god mod, even the slightest bit without my consent. This is the biggest mood killer for me. I won’t even say anything, I will likely just stop responding to the thread because god modding is the most common sense no-no when it comes to RPing.

My muses are dynamic characters with backgrounds and depth who will experience character growth and express different parts of their personality. Do not typecast my muse and run with it like they're a joke.

So you notice I am reblogging and responding to memes but I haven’t responded to your thread. Yes, along with 10 other threads so do not take offense if I am memeing it up while owing you a thread response. Sometimes it's easier to meme than to think up and write a thread response.

I will ignore passive aggressive nudges. I will soft block you, or block you entirely if you become hostile or aggressive.

I do not believe in reblog karma, however, I believe it’s stupid not to interact with your mutuals and memes are the best way to break the ice, so if I reblog something from you, expect something from me in return. Maybe not right away because I may be at work and sometimes it’s a pain to deal with on mobile, but I will send something in! Only exceptions being shippy memes.

Partaking in witch hunts and call out culture, even if the other party is a guilty douche nugget, will result in me unfollowing you. I have zero tolerance for people who get involved with that kind of stuff.

You get bonus points if you comment on this post letting me know you’ve read this.

SHIPPING INFO !! Answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?: Ardyn & chemistry, tbh. He’s got the chance to have a lot of chemistry with just about anyone, if he chooses. But the problem is that he’s also an awfully terrible excuse of a being, so it’s hard to say if he should get with someone or not. But honestly, anyone he has chemistry with? I can get into it. I adore shipping so much. It’s such a great way to break a character down and see how they interact and what comes out of them in such situations.

Highkey though? I am going to stan Ardyn/Ignis forever. I genuinely have no words for how much that ship has consumed me. None. And I’m being enabled so bad when it comes to it thanks to certain people.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?: I’ll write anything. From AUs to canon, from dark gritty horror to slice of life fluff to domestic aus to-- well, you get the idea. Though, given that it’s Ardyn, I don’t see a lot of slice of life happening. But I want to see it sometimes. I genuinely do. However, there’s gotta be some kind of plot or at least some sort of forward momentum to things. I can’t do “and then they did x” for forever. Something has to happen at some point to progress the plot, somehow. Knowing me, it’s going to wind up in angst.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?: Age gaps only make me uncomfortable if one party is distinctly underage. As long as both muses are of age and able to consent without issue to a relationship, then that’s all that matters. And the same goes for the mundanes! Though I will always say flat out that I prefer all my writing partners to be of legal age, as ever.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?: lmfao I’m really not. I will ship so fast and so hard. However, if it’s just sexual, then that’s one thing. I will write sexual ships so very easily. A romantic ship on the other hand, where Ardyn is concerned? Oh, that’s going to take a lot of work. Can he even feel for someone romantically? ... well, yes. He can. But he’s got so much baggage. So, ultimately, while I can write him getting it on with just about anyone, when it comes to the full tilt they’re hooking up and emotionally involved stuff? I think that’d take a lot more doing.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NS/FW?: When hands are wandering below the belt and there’s definitely heavy patting going on? That’s generally when I’ll start tagging it. And definitely when pants are open or coming off. Otherwise, I don’t tend to do so. But I will match my partner if they begin tagging their posts with nsfw. Never hurts to be courteous, after all!

WHO ARE OTHER THE CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?: Given how Ardyn works? Heck if I know. I mean I’ve got art of him with pretty much all the main cast and all, so I definitely enjoy stuff aesthetically! I can be warmed up to a ship, though, if someone gets to talking to me about it and it seems like it’d work out, though! So I guess it’s anyone, really!

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?: Nope! However, I am oblivious sometimes so you might have to hit me in the face with a brick that says “I WANT TO SHIP WITH YOU!” in all honesty. I’m also so very, very shy about asking people to ship because I loathe forcing a ship onto someone. Communication is important!

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?: I love shipping. I adore it. I think that shipping, in any form, be it platonic, romantic, sexual, or otherwise, can be very fascinating. Getting to break a character down in terms of seeing how they respond to someone in certain situations? It’s definitely appealing to me as a writer. And if someone wants to explore certain situations with a shippy angle? I’m all for it!

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?: Other’n my otp? Nope. I mean, I can get ship obsessed and will scream about stuff with folks if they let me, but I take it all as a case-by-case basis. I definitely do like to ship, but I never go into things expecting a ship. If it happens, it happens!

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?: I am! There are very few characters that I can single-ship on because I adore getting to see the interactions between different versions of the same character far, far too much. Just because this version of this character reacts in this way to a situation does not mean that that character will respond in the same fashion. Roleplay is all about seeing the differences in the same setting, I think!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?: Besides mine--? Hahahaha no I’m joking. ( no I’m not. ) Honestly, I am a lover of Promptio and LuNyx and LuNoct. Yes, I’m aware that people have controversial opinions of Luna/Noctis, but you know what? I adore it. I genuinely think that it’s a good ship.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?: Talk to me! I will be here ready to scream about ships any time of the day or night if you and I start shipping. I will also provide 5234234 ideas, plots, settings, scenarios, aus and more for you. I get so involved in my ships and I adore flat out getting to see interpersonal relationships evolve. And I admit, I adore getting to see characters like Ardyn get torn apart by emotions that they have no way to cope with. It’s so enjoyable to me, in truth. BREAK HIM APART. I’m a sadist. But yeah, just talk to me and let me know your interests and what you aren’t interested in and I can definitely find ways to make things work!

Stolen from: @chainedoracle Tagging: Steal it and tag me!

Note

Any thought people have about the band/people who make up their fandom that isn't canon or true is essentially a headcannon-something fandoms that have- and something that forms the basis for fanfiction/fanart.

Look, I understand the aspect of feeling squirmy about writing fanfiction about them, or seeing 'shippy' fanart. But the beauty of online spaces for fandom is that you can avoid content.

So, I really don't see how it's an issue if people do write fanfiction about them or draw art. It's their expression of love for the people in the band.

As long as the works are not taken to the people involved like, 'oh look at this!' it's completely fine. It's important to remember the FICTION aspect of fanfiction. Because no one is claiming that two men from a rock band were having gay relationships. It's a creative outlet!

The internet is a huge place, a couple of human beings writing about the Beatles having gay-relationships with each other isn't going to break anything.

It's simple, Don't Like, Don't Read, or Don't Like, Don't See. But people have to be allowed the freedom to express themselves. It's discouraging to see and be told that 'You're disgusting for fetishizing the beatles'

My intention through this ask wasn't to be rude to you or to make you feel like you are the cause for people to stop being in the fandom. You're not the first person to feel this way about such things and you're most certainly not the last.

You have the absolute right to express your dislike, and so the same courtesy must be extended fanfiction writers and artists.

There's lots of space for both aspects of the fandom to co-exist.

This is not a hate anon, and please do not take it as one, because this was not my intention :)

Have a good day!

Since this anon is written in a more civil manner I'll have the decency of doing the same.

I never meant to police anyone or stir shit in the fandom, and while I know that most people do the shippy stuff in a respectful way, I've seen a lot, and I mean a Lot of people writing paragraphs upon paragraphs trying to prove that mclennon actually happened, jumping to conclusions based on very small details. I have also seen people who are respectful and don't fetishize gay relationships.

My own experience in the fandom has left me rather spiteful and for some time I couldn't really see the Beatles the same way, and it took me a while to be able to enjoy their music again. I avoid the content that made me uncomfortable back in the day and I don't waste my time reading discourse either.

Again, none of my posts are meant to start shit and send attacks to creators, it's mostly just me ranting about my own negative feelings. I was little over a year younger than I am now when I was in the fandom with mostly adults so of course I stumbled upon some stuff I shouldn't have seen, and all the arguing and conspiracy theories kinda ruined it for me.

As for that mclennon joke I made about the satirical art tutorial, it was never meant to be a callout or anything, I was just poking a bit of fun at how a lot of artists seem to draw them. Funnily enough everyone was talking about feminizing Paul, and not about how people draw John way more buff and manly than he actually was. But I didn't even think my silly little joke would end up stirring shit, I meant it as a ha ha funny tag that would get forgotten.

And most of my posts complaining about the fandom aren't about the creators, they're more about the insanity that goes on with people who try to prove that mclennon was real or people who are straight up racist and misogynistic towards Yoko because they wanna blame her for all of John's problems (Yoko wasn't an angel but scapegoating her for everything is just shitty) and of course people who think they're entitled to knowing every bit of personal information about the guys. The shipping is just one thing

This is getting long, but I'm glad we could settle it. I never wanted to attack the fandom or any of the creators in it and I'm sure you didn't mean to attack me either. I can't stop anyone from doing their own thing and I don't engage with the fandom anymore so I don't see the stuff that goes on. I don't know if it's changed in the time I've been away so it might be a completely different community than the one I got to know

Well, good day to you too!

Dear Chocolatier Letter

Hey guys, I’m participating in the chocolate box fic and art exchange and this is my letter. (Also good if anyone really wants to write me a fic. Haha) Under the cut ‘cause it’s LONG.

Hi author. I’m glad you decided to join this challenge. I’m sure I’ll love anything you want to write for me. Feel free to ignore any of my suggestions. I actually had some trouble thinking up any prompts for some pairings so if you’ve got an idea you really want to write, I can’t wait to read it.

General fic likes:

Stuff that applies to both romantic and platonic:

Fluff.

Humor.

Kindness and helping others.

Cuddles and snuggles.

Cozy scenes.

Bedsharing.

Casual touching.

Little soft and/or quiet moments between friends or significant others.

Characters sharing a love of music or movies or books or hobbies.

Pet owners.

Cute kids when those kids are canon children of requested characters.

Living together, either platonically or romantically.

People being really good at what they do and their friends/partners being impressed.

Characters who speak languages other than English slipping into those languages occasionally.

Teaching each other.

Communities supporting each other.

Everyone being accepting of the characters and their differences and/or relationships.

Women who get stuff done.

Bi and Ace-spectrum Headcanons.

Shippy stuff:

Soulmates (both common and creative varieties),

The Soulmate Goose of Enforcement,

Polyamory.

Friends to lovers.

Rivals to lovers.

Annoying each other constantly to lovers.

Established relationships.

Couples knowing each other really well and doing things the other one likes just because.

“Man I really love my wife” guys.

Asking before kissing someone.

Stopping a kiss or a touch immediately when asked.

Surprise kisses in an established relationship.

Weddings.

Platonic/familial stuff:

Becoming friends.

Insta-friends,

Friends who stay friends (they don’t become romantic and they don’t stop enjoying each other’s company).

Found families.

True companions.

Healthy families of origin.

DNWs:

Any sort of death (Exception under Highway to Heaven.)

Abuse of any sort.

Anything that AO3 has under major warnings.

Unhealthy relationships.

Character bashing.

Explicit sex (implied or referenced sex between consenting adults is fine).

Mpreg.

Non-canonical pregnancy.

Discrimination or bigotry unless in the context of characters working to end it.

Unhappy ending.

Fandom Specific:

Enchanted Forest Chronicles:

Pairings Requested: Cimorene/Mendanbar, Daystar/Shiara, Morwen/Telemain

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Enchanted Forest Chronicles

Fandom Specific Likes: Mentions/Appearances of Alianora. Morwen’s cats being snarky.

Fandom Specific DNW: A story where the focus is on the time between Calling On Dragons and Talking To Dragons.

Optional Prompts by pairing:

- Cimorene/Mendanbar: We don’t get to see very much of their married life so I would love to see some fluff taking place after their wedding but before Book 3.

- Daystar/Shiara: I nominated these two specifically so I could suggest this prompt. In an AU where they found some way to rescue Mendanbar sooner and Daystar grew up as the prince knowing both of his parents, how does this effect his and Shiara’s first meeting? Do they get along better or worse? Why is Daystar out in the forest at the right time to find her?

- Morewen/Telemain: I am down for basically anything with these two as long as it’s fun. Growing up together. Being classmates in magic school. Quests/adventures. Spending time together between adventures. Married life. Anything that appeals to you.

How exactly did they manage to get engaged? I would love to get the story of what conversations happened that we aren’t shown.

Harry Potter:

(I put ship names on these so it’s easier to read)

Pairings Requested: Ginny/Harry/Hermione/Luna/Neville/Ron (Sixpack), Alicia Spinnet/Angelina Johnson/Fred Weasley/George Weasley/Katie Bell/Lee Jordan/Oliver Wood (Quiddich OT7)

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Harry Potter

Fandom Specific Likes: Everybody lives. The Room of Requirement being a romantic place. I didn’t request her, but I kind of love the idea of Katie’s friend Leanne dating Katie and one or more of her partners as well.

Fandom Specific DNW: Not exactly fandom specific but no incest. The siblings in these relationships are just dating the same people.

Optional Prompts by pairing:

- Sixpack: Helping each other recover from everything that happened to them after the end of series.

The six of them having some nice downtime when there’s nothing they need to be doing right that moment and just enjoying each other’s company.

Trying to work out parenting when there’s six parents.

- Quiddich OT7: I am so starved for content for this ship that I don’t even have interesting prompts, I just want content. But here are my thoughts:

Celebrating after a win.

Hanging out playing Exploding Snap or something. Studying together.

Feeling down after a loss and Fred and George decide to cheer up their partners by doing silly things and maybe the others joining in.

- Applies to either or both: Trying to visit the Burrow with all of their partners and things getting crowded.

Highway to Heaven:

Pairings Requested: Jonathan/Jane | Jennifer, Jonathan & Mandy

Fandom Specific Likes: Jonathan is an angel but sometimes he’s still painfully human. (E.G. Getting too emotionally involved with an assignment, his crisis of faith in We Have Forever, his reaction to Mark getting hurt in Going Home, Going Home.) I just really like that Jonathan isn’t perfect and makes mistakes and has strong emotions just like the rest of us.

Exception to no character death: I’m okay with it in relation to Jonathan and Jane, but I don’t want it to be the focus or the ending. I need to see them as angels afterwards if their deaths come up.

Fandom Specific DNW: Not a hugely important thing, but I would prefer Jonathan and Jennifer not sleep together (except literally) since he doesn’t know that she’s Jane.

Optional Prompts by pairing:

- Jonathan/Jane: I am down with basically any story for these two that you want to tell.

How they fell in love. Scenes from their marriage. Missing scenes between the two in Keep Smiling.

What it was like for Jane to become Jennifer and be given the first assignment of helping her husband regain his faith? A missing scene from their two months together.

Something where they meet again later, either between assignments, sharing an assignment, or being reunited in heaven when they’ve both earned their wings.

- Jonathan & Mandy: Arthur | Jonathan being a good father to Mandy. Reading to her, playing with her, singing to her, whatever you like. Just all around being a good dad.

What was going through Jonathan’s mind when the only opportunity he had to interact with his daughter in 40 years was by being as obnoxious and dislikable as he could?

What was going through Mandy’s head when she thought that her mother, who had never moved on from her father, was planning to marry a much younger drummer who would probably spend all her money? Does Mandy remember her dad at all? What sorts of stories has Jane told her about him?

I Dream of Jeannie:

Pairings Requested: Jeannie/Roger/Tony, Amanda Bellows & Jeannie

Tumblr tag for fandom: I Dream of Jeannie

Fandom Specific Likes: Roger and Jeannie both being bi, Tony being biromantic and demisexual. Amanda being the voice of reason. The Bellowses’ marriage being built more on steady love than passion.

Fandom Specific DNW: None.

Optional Prompts by pairing:

- Jeannie/Roger/Tony: I’ve pretty well written all of my ideas for this pairing myself, I just want content not written by me. Maybe some established relationship fluff.

Or something where Roger and Tony are together first and then Jeannie joins their relationship. Maybe Jeannie realizes that Tony and Roger have feeling for each other and decides to set them up, and then they fold her into their relationship after she succeeds.

- Amanda & Jeannie: I just really want to see more of Amanda being a mother figure to Jeannie. Amanda helping Jeannie pick out her wedding dress would be delightful.

If you wanted to write something more involved, I keep imagining something where after "Ride 'Em Astronaut," Amanda helps Jeannie take the organizers of the rodeo to court for trying to use her as a prize for the winner.

Magic School Bus:

Pairings Requested: Arnold & Carlos & Dorothy Ann & Keesha & Phoebe & Ralphie & Tim & Wanda, Ms. Frizzle/Mr. Seedplot

Tumblr tag for fandom: Magic School Bus

Fandom Specific Likes: Ms. Frizzle being open to dating many different people, not just Mr. Seedplot. The kids all being close friends and no matter how many arguments they have they always make up quickly. Appearances by Mikey.

Fandom Specific DNW: Romances between the kids. I don’t mind occasional references to crushes, but I don’t want shipping with them.

Optional Prompts by pairing:

- The Kids: How did they first become friends? Phoebe transferred in, but have the other seven always been classmates? Was it hard for Phoebe to fit in at first or did they all make her feel welcome? Did they used to have other classmates before Ms. Frizzle’s class? What do they like to do for fun when they’re not in school or doing science?

A favorite headcanon of mine is that after college, the eight of them chip in and buy a house to use as home base. And they all travel around researching in their respective fields, but sometimes they just stay right there and do science. I would love any sort of story set in that world.

- Ms. Frizzle/Mr. Seedplot: How did they first meet? What happens after Liz brings Ms. Frizzle the flowers and note? Do they go on a date? Do the class ship them?

Sesame Street:

Pairings Requested: Bob/Linda, Linda/Maria, Harriet/Mr. Hooper, Gordon/Susan, David/Luis/Maria, Bob/Susan/Gordon, Bob/David/Linda/Luis/Maria/Olivia

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Sesame Street

Fandom Specific Likes: Mr. Hooper lives. The characters making sure to sign for Linda so that she knows what’s going on. Miles and Gabi being best friends. Bob and Maria being metamours and having a very sibling-like relationship. Mr. Hooper refusing to tell anyone what his orientation is. Big Bird basically being everyone’s child. Bob being in both of the above polyamorous relationships at the same time.

Fandom Specific DNW: Anything involving the death of Mr. Hooper. Making Linda hearing instead of Deaf.

Optional Prompts by pairing:

All of these pairings I’d be happy with anything you want to write but here are a few thoughts.

- Bob/Linda: If they had gotten married, what would their wedding look like?

What kind of dates do they go on?

According to episode summaries on The Muppet wiki, Bob writes songs for Linda and she teaches him American Sign Language. I would love to see either or both of those things.

- Linda/Maria: When Linda first arrives on Sesame Street, Maria is the person who’s the most fluent in ASL and that leads to her and Linda becoming friends quickly.

Linda learning some Spanish sign language so she and Maria can both speak Spanish.

- Harriet/Mr. Hooper: Based on reading the Muppet wiki, I got the feeling that David’s Grandma Harriet and Mr. Hooper are quietly dating and I would love to see more of that.

In season 11 Mr. Hooper and his friends Mr. Macintosh and Willy took Harriet to a dance. How did that go? Did they start dating after that?

- Gordon/Susan: I would dearly love some fic about how they met and fell in love.

Or a fic about how they decided that they were ready to be parents and that they wanted to adopt.

Maybe something with them geeking out together over science.

- David/Luis/Maria: The only logical solution to the Maria/David, Maria/Luis relationships. I actually shipped David/Luis before I shipped Maria/David, so I definitely view this as a full triad.

How do they get together? Are two of them together first and then the third joins them? Or do they become a triad all at once?

What do their dates as a triad look like? Do the three of them ever go dancing?

How do they decide to get married? To become parents? Does it matter which of Maria’s husbands is Gabi’s biological father or do they only know for medical history reasons?

- Bob/Susan/Gordon: Did they know each other before Sesame Street or did they meet there? When did they get together?

One thing I really like is the idea of them having gone to college together and getting up to hijinks. I would love to see some of that.

How involved is Bob in parenting Miles?

- Bob/David/Linda/Luis/Maria/Olivia: The ship of my heart. My personal perspective is that every part of this relationship is romantic except for Bob and Maria. Bob and Maria adore each other but their relationship with each other is platonic.

Do they ever manage to all share a bed comfortably or are there too many of them and someone ends up on the floor?

The six of them go out on date and are mistaken for being three couples so they try to see how obvious they can make it that it’s all six of them.

Is it ever hard to parent Gabi when there are six parents?

Star Trek: The Original Series:

Pairings Requested: Chekov/Sulu, Chekov/Sulu/Uhura, Scotty/Uhura, Chekov/Sulu/Scotty/Uhura

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Star Trek TOS

Fandom Specific Likes: Raising a family on the Enterprise. Demora being from a surrogate mother rather than a one-night-stand. Annie Rand living. Scotty and Uhura having the kid from this art (I named him Mzuzi). Random future tech. Using the hollodeck/recreation deck for dates.

Fandom Specific DNW: Anything that involves people’s consciousness being separated from their body. Anything that could be considered possession.

Optional Prompts:

I don’t really have any specific prompts for any of these pairings. I would love to see anything with Chekov and Sulu raising Demora together. And I LOVE Uhura being showered with affection by her partners. I also really like seeing people learning each other’s first languages so they can talk to each other in them.

The West Wing:

Pairings Requested: Abby/Jed/Leo

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: The West Wing

Fandom Specific Likes: The three of them basically being parental figures to the senior staff. Mallory thinking of the Bartlett daughters as her sisters and vice-versa.

Fandom Specific DNW: Smoking. Health problems, canon or not.

Optional Prompts: I love fic where Leo finds excuses to spend the night in the residence (AKA Jed and Abby’s bed).

An AU like Triad Verse in which Jed is literally married to both Abby and Leo and its known by everyone.

Fic where Leo lives and the three of them just retire to the farm in New Hampshire together.

WordGirl:

Pairings Requested: Becky/Tobey/Scoops/Violet, Johnson/TJ

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: WordGirl

Fandom Specific Likes: Tobey realizing that he’s loved. Tobey’s robots being sweet.

Fandom Specific DNW: Angst. These are children so I’d prefer they not show affection with anything more than a handhold or maybe a kiss on the cheek, unless they’re aged up.

Optional Prompts: I’m happy with any kind of cute content for either of these pairings. I would especially like to see a get together.

I also read a fic once where Becky and TJ were allowed to invite their friends on a Botsford family trip to a cabin on a lake. Scoops and Violet couldn’t go in the fic, but I keep wondering what it would be like if they did and Becky was there with her mutual crushes and TJ was there with his.

RULES (important ones bolded; you can find these on a page via my blog as well but more people read them when it’s out in the open here):

~ Since I’ve been asked: no, I don’t write greeters. I’ve just never found it easy. I’d much rather just write a starter for someone who expresses they want one, then expend energy writing a ‘greeter’for someone who doesn’t want one. Just ask if you’d like a starter! ~ I am selective. Anyone can follow me, but I'm going to be picky about who I follow back, mainly for my own sanity and the ability to track the muns I interact with most. On that note, this blog isn't mutuals only, simply because I might be fine interacting with you even if I don't feel like following you. If that makes sense. ~ I’m not exclusive with anyone as of yet, but certain muns do take top priority simply because I click with them best. ~ Do not steal the circular icons I use. Those were made for me by my best friend. If you want to save and use square icons, go for it; those I either got on hollow-art or made myself. And I’m crap at making icons, so I don’t rightly care what you do with them. Just leave the circular ones alone. ~ I generally use icons for the first reply of a thread, then drop them. If you want to use icons for each reply, or no icons at all, feel free. I don’t mind either way. ~ I try to match replies, but I often ramble and get longer, or I go shorter because my energy is waning. I do try to give you something to go off though. I don’t care whether you match my length; just make sure to leave me something to react to. ~ I use smaller text and a bit of mild formatting. I don’t care whether you do or not; it’s just a personal preference for my own writing, that’s all. ~ Don’t leave anon hate. Be a better person than that, mate. And don’t be a jerk off anon either. Don’t push me around, get pissed off at me for slow response time, force ships on me, insult me… just don’t be a jerk in general, yeah? Cool.

SHIPPING ~ First off, while I’m willing to roleplay with anyone, who I ship with is exclusive, mainly because it relies on a lot of factors. ~ Factor one: Mick is asexual, demiromantic, and bi. He rarely has sexual or romantic attraction, and he can fall for men or women. He doesn’t really have a preference between the two. ~ Factor two: Mick is an emotionally withdrawn man in general, and he isn’t going to just be romantically involved with everyone. Shipping with him will most likely be similar to how shipping with my Cain (SPN) muse - who he falls for will be few and far in between. Cain has only ever had two love interests over there; his canon love interest Colette, and an angel OC. It is similar for Mick; falling in love for him is rare due to his closing himself off, and who he trusts enough to love is even smaller of a number. ~ Factor three: I find it difficult to ship with just anyone. I’m pretty awful at writing romance in general, so having a partner I click with makes it much easier. People have probably noticed I primarily write shippy things with @bethewhitecanary; this is because she and I have been roleplaying for about a year and talking every day. Basically, the better I know you, the more likely it is for a ship to work. ~ Factor four: Mick controls his own wants, don’t get me wrong. But obviously, what I ship also is affected just slightly by what ships I ship. You’ll mostly see Mick/Leonard (Coldwave) ships here because canonically, Leonard is the only person Mick is close to.There’s a lot of Mick/Sara on my blog too, as that’s another ship I ship. This doesn’t mean I’ll only ever ship Len and Sara with Mick, it just means that those are the muses Mick will gravitate toward most.

NSFW/CONTENT ~ I don't do much NSFW smut things. If you really want to do it, I am willing to try my hand at it in a private setting, such as emails or Skype. But I'm not confident in writing it nor am I comfortable posting it in a public forum so if we do anything like that, I ask that you agree to move it to a private means of communication. ~ I refuse to roleplay very few things; but I won't roleplay bestiality, nor will I roleplay noncon threads in a positive light. If I do anything such as that or paedophilia, it has to be done tastefully, with allusions to how it is a toxic relationship and not a good thing. Basically: I can roleplay toxic abusive relationships or underage relationships or even incestuous relationships; but one, I won't do smut in those relationships, and two, they need to be portrayed as negative. Obviously. ~ Anything else goes, however. I am a dark person in general, and I’ll roleplay pretty intense stuff. Suicide, self-harm, murder, torture, death, kidnapping, slavery, violence, horror, abuse, neglect, the aftermath of a rape; you name it, I’m probably willing to write it. ~ I will tag all triggers that I can think of. If I’m not tagging something that triggers you, just let me know and I’ll start tagging it. ~ I write a lot of angst. I don’t know why, I just do. If that bothers you, you’re free to unfollow me. I won’t get angry. If you have a problem with triggers, I’ll tag them. Or, alternately, if you want to keep following me but without the angst, tell me and I can tag “angst”, and you can blacklist it.

ACTIVITY ~ I have a very stressful job, I usually am in college, and I’m currently trapped in an abusive living situation. This, and I have a few mental disorders (depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder). None of this would matter, except it means my schedule and energy levels are everywhere. ~ Sometimes, I’ll write and get a lot done; either because it’s my day off, or I’m mentally stable, or both. But sometimes, I’m burnt out and I can’t do much of anything, sometimes for days. Sometimes, Mick is sleeping and Len or someone else has my attention. I’m sorry, it’s how I am. Activity over here will be unpredictable, there’s nothing I can do about that. ~ Sometimes, I’ll only respond to certain threads or certain asks. It’s because they’re what I have muse for. Sometimes, Mick doesn’t feel like doing fluffy stuff, so he does angst. Sometimes, I don’t have energy for long threads, so I go for short ones. Sometimes, I just want to progress a specific thread but I can’t find energy for others. I don’t hate you, I don’t think you’re boring; I just haven’t got the muse or the energy, that’s all. Don’t think I don’t want to interact with you. I do, I promise.

THE MUN ~ My name is Gabriel. I also go by Rory or Celt. ~ I’m over 18. ~ I’m a panromantic demisexual man, and I go by he/him pronouns. Please respect that. If you can’t respect me, we’re gonna have a problem. ~ I have mental disorders, so I may be a bit difficult to handle at times. I apologise. Please be patient with me, I’m trying my best. ~ Random info. I’m in the Pacific Standard time zone. I’m a Hufflepuff, like Mick, with Slytherin an oddly close second. I’m working toward the goal of being a filmmaker and actor. I’m pretty sure my alignment is Chaotic Neutral. I’m Christian, but it won’t have an effect on how I treat you. I’m possibly a Wiccan as well (yes, you can be both!) but I’m not sure yet.

IN SUMMARY ~Just understand where I'm coming from, respect me, and don't be a jerk and we should get along fine.

May the 4th Exchange Letter

Dear Yoda,

So sorry about the delay in finishing this letter! And a huge thank you for writing or creating art for me.

General Pointers

I would be thrilled to receive either fic or art for any of these requests! I’ve tried to leave prompts for both, though sometimes my imagination failed me where art was concerned.

For Fic, any rating from General to Explicit is fine, for either sexual or violent content.

For Art, I would prefer suggestive rather than explicit, i.e. some nudity without a focus on genitalia, blood without heavy gore/wounds.

I know very little of the extended canon, either the current Disney version or the old EU. If you’re inspired by something from it, feel free to use those characters and/or ideas; but you should also feel free to completely ignore all of it and work solely from what’s shown onscreen. I will be happy either way!

Please note that I’m desperately trying to remain unspoiled for Episode 8, so if you draw on any plot leaks, don’t mention them as such--just leave me in my happy bubble of ignorance.

I enjoy reading everything: gen adventure stories, sweet shippy fluff, and PWP as long as it doesn’t seem like any 2 or 3 generic characters having sex.

DNW: Heavy noncon/rape as a major plot point (backstory is fine) or a totally tragic ending (I'm perfectly happy with bittersweet). Even those can change depending on circumstances, though, so I didn’t mention them in my sign-up for a reason. If your story demands that you go in that direction, do it with my blessing.

A few random narrative & visual tropes I enjoy: snow/winter scenes; mutual pining; hugs (romantic or platonic); the Force made them do it

Did I leave anything out? Don't hesitate to ask me questions via the mods.

And again, THANK YOU!

Specific Requests

Cassian Andor & K-2SO

Fic prompts: The origin story of this partnership, i.e. how the heck Cassian encountered an Imperial security droid & reprogrammed it (I don’t know the canon backstory, so feel free to go AU); Kaytoo’s, er, unique personality as it impacts on caretaking for Cassian - does he monitor Cassian’s sleeping habits & caloric intake? maintain a running tally of his likely life expectancy?

Art prompts: Cassian teaching Kaytoo to play a game; an encounter with wildlife or domestic pets

Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso

Fic prompts: Something with a bit of an edge, please? Don’t get me wrong, I love the way that they seem to have found something beyond the cause in each other--but let’s not forget that a) the cause is still supremely important to at least one of them b) they both have deep trust issues and a lot of baggage. I enjoy canon-divergent AUs (such as partisan!Cassian or Imperial!Jyn) but am not particularly into modern ones. And I have to admit that hot, conflicted, I desperately want you even though I shouldn’t trust you sex would be extremely welcome.

Art prompts: Cassian using Jyn’s shoulder as support for his sniper rifle, à la Fury Road; both of them undercover in Imperial uniform again

Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso/Bodhi Rook

Fic prompts: Sorry, was I not supposed to ship these three incredibly attractive people? If that’s wrong, etc etc. I could see Bodhi softening Cassian & Jyn somewhat as he brings out their protective instincts… but note that although I do see Bodhi as a gentle soul, I don’t think he’s completely helpless either, so anything that gives him a chance to show off his vein of courage or competence would be appreciated. Again, if you want to write something explicit, this is a perfect opportunity.

Art prompts: Bodhi & Cassian co-piloting as Jyn watches; the three of them sharing a bed (or trying to)

Jyn Erso & K-2SO

Fic prompts: How do these two keep from killing each other? Do they eventually come to some kind of understanding, or is it always an antagonistic relationship?

Art prompts: Kaytoo rescuing Jyn, maybe carrying her off under protest; Jyn playing a practical joke on Kaytoo (sand in his joints or similar)

Jyn Erso & Lyra Erso

Fic prompts: Lyra’s religious beliefs and how they affected her relationship with her daughter - did she pass them on to Jyn?; was Lyra Force-sensitive in some way, or a Jedi initiate?

Art prompts: Lyra teaching Jyn a skill (bike-riding/cooking/etc); playing Jedi & Sith together - mock lightsaber battles!; all-out fluffy mother-daughter cuddling

Jyn Erso & None

Fic prompts: Jyn’s relationship with Saw Gerrera as a surrogate father; a heist during her lone wolf years; Jyn and Bodhi talking about Galen (there wasn’t a tag for Jyn & Bodhi, but I would love to see them as friends)

Art prompts: Jyn gazing into her kyber crystal; wearing Cassian’s clothes (and swimming in them); knocking out a Stormtrooper with her truncheons

Leia Organa & Ben Solo | Kylo Ren

Fic prompts: Whatever you see happening next! I’m fascinated by this relationship, and mourning the dynamic these two would/could have had in the movies before we lost Carrie Fisher. Here if anywhere I could see a tragic ending, so you don’t necessarily have to redeem Kylo, but please don’t depict him as a one-dimensional villain either. (Regardless of your take on Kylo Ren as a character, I think it’s clear that a large part of his issues seem to centre on restraining his emotions, as opposed to not having any.)

Art prompts: grumpy teen Ben forced to spend time with his mom at work; AU Queen Leia of Alderaan & her heir; Kylo Ren confronts his mother at last - is he threatening or begging?

Luke Skywalker & None

Fic prompts: So, what’s Luke been up to in the three decades since we last saw him onscreen? Share your wildest theories & speculation! Alternatively, a glimpse of his life on Ahch-to: what does he do there all day?

Art prompts: Luke making friends with island creatures; exploring an old Jedi temple; his reunion with R2

Rey & None

Fic prompts: All your pre-canon, lonely Rey surviving on Jakku moments. Break my heart! Or, go in the other direction--show me Rey meeting new people and making friends in the Resistance

Art prompts: Rey wading into a pool or lake for the first time; Rey gardening; young Rey practicing/defending herself with her staff
