#So FUCKED IF I KNOW

Hello, I hope you're having a wonderful day so far! 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊

May i ask the following questions from the Fan Fic Writer Asks:

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?

20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ Happy new year ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Alrighty!

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

I actually looked this up a week ago and the total right now is 24. But that includes some fics that I haven't actually started writing yet. And some are just ideas I want to write but might have to abandon once my sense catches up with me. I guess we'll see?

Either way, it's definitely more projects than I would want, which is why I hope to finish some of them during 2025. Especially since some of the old ones only have one or two chapters left. Or are oneshots I just didn't finish. Like, how hard can it be?

So that's definitely a goal for this year. I want to finish at least five of my current WIPs, preferably more.

10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

A couple, yeah. One is The Hat Hypothesis which I figured would just be another one of my appreciated yet still not overly popular The Losers fics but, somehow, it ended up being one of my most appreciated ones? Which is by no means a bad thing! I just didn't expect it, nor do I know why so many people like it more than the others. But, at the same time, that's not for me to know or decide xD

Another is Who Holds the Devil which... well, I didn't really know what I expected with that one but I know for a fact that it wasn't what I got. I was terrified before I started posting it and was kind of hoping to just quietly push it out there without anyone noticing and be done with it. But, uh, that obviously didn't happen. Not just the part where I thought it would go more or less unnoticed, but also how much time and effort I would devote to it. I definitely didn't expect it to become as big as it is now, both in terms of its popularity and its length.

And, to balance things out a bit, Losing You (Is My Supervillain Origin Story) is a fic I expected to be more popular than it ended up being. The premise is a little clumsy, admittedly, but people tend to like a little darkness and, at the time I wrote it, it was the darkest I had chosen to write Bucky. But maybe the depiction of grief scared people off? Or the flimsy plot? Who knows? xD Either way, it remains one of my least popular Winteriron fics (by quite a margin) and I'm still not sure why. But there you go!

18. What's one of your favourite lines you've written in a fic?

There are, obviously, quite a lot of them considering the sheer number of sentences I've written. Many I don't even remember anymore. But one that's always stood out to me is from You Only Live Twice, said by Fury to Tony:

"You might have forgotten how to live in this world, but I'm willing to bet that you still want to save it."

It makes a lot more sense within context, but I always felt that it was a very Fury thing to say and, well, pretty poetic? I think that fic has a lot of banger sentences, in fact.

20. What's a favourite title for a fic you've written?

Again, I have more than one since it's just very difficult to pick. But my top choices are:

Who Holds the Devil - For how utterly perfect it is. Not just because it's a quote from Faust — which is one of the sources of inspiration for the drama — but also because it poses a question that is the basis for the entire fic, even if we all already know the answer. Because it's Ga On, of course. Ga On holds the devil.

Until Death Do Us Unite - Because I like a good wordplay or a twist on an established expression. And this one just felt so obvious considering the drama, the characters, and the premise of the fic. Moon Jo and Jong Woo will be together forever indeed. It doesn't matter that one of them is clinically dead.

Losing You (Is My Supervillain Origin Story) - I just felt very clever when I came up with it, I guess? I like how descriptive it is and the fact that even if the fic could just have been called "Losing You" the sentence within the parenthesis reveals a lot about what the story is actually going to be about.

Hyperborean - Because sometimes I like to be very concise and, in this case, it made perfect sense to just name the fic "it be FECKIN' cold" because, I mean, yeah. It's hella cold xD

These four also neatly sum up my most popular ways of naming a fic. That's to say a) steal a quote from someone else, b) cheekily twist an existing expression to fit my needs, c) a sentence followed by another sentence in a parenthesis that builds on the first one in the most pretentious way possible, and d) the most bluntly obvious and unimaginative — yet descriptive — title in the history of titles.

I think D is the one I use the most often.

Thank you so much for all the questions and a Happy New Year to you too! 💜

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

Found my fav Slay the Princess route recently. Dragon my beloved. Your horrifying beak mouth was an impossible-to-refuse lip syncing challenge 💖

Shoutouts to @blacktabbygames for making such a cool game!

As someone who works with social history for a living, I feel like I’m the aggressive opposite of an anti-vaxxer

I fucking LOVE vaccines, friends. Give me the science stab. I’m so ready. it’s a beautiful day to not die of a Bajillion and one diseases that carried off like half the population before they had even reached age 10, and a significant portion before they made it to old age, 150 years ago

I go to the old cemetery. I see the vast numbers of infant and child and young adult graves. And then I go to my doctor and get injected with Potion of Fuck That Noise. This is beautiful and miraculous and I do not remotely understand how some people can reject it – not just for themselves, but for their children

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.
