#THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTIONS!!

[poi-dream-sequel]

For the ask meme: person of interest + 7 and 8

7. my I could take them or leave them kinda non-fave: 

Oof, that‘s a difficult one because I usually love every character. But if I had to choose then it would probably be Harper Rose. I just generally am not the biggest fan of the ‚are they evil, are they good or just selfish?‘ characters.

Having said that though, I love that she‘s part of Team Machine Washington. I think she fits in there perfectly! But yeah, I wasn‘t the biggest fan when she showed up.

8. my I will go down with this ship and I won’t put my hands up and surrender, there will be no white flag above my door. I’m in love and always will be fave ship: 

Easiest one for me: Shoot! Root and Shaw have one of the most compelling relationships on TV, ever, for me. I think mostly because I didn‘t think that it would ever be more than subtext. And how their story was never about them being queer. They just were, it was a fact of their lives and no one made a fuss.

I can‘t believe that in 2024 I‘m still craving this exact kind of experience but it‘s so rare.

Also Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi had amazing chemistry. I bought every moment and loved watching them figuring out whatever relationship they ended up having. Because it was definitely far from heteronormative.

9? Share more??

Thank you for the question!

9: Do you write every day? If you wrote today, share a sentence of what you’ve written!

A large chunk of my time goes to editing and rereading. So, I suppose I'm working on a fic almost every day. However, I don't actually write every day.

But I did write today. Of course, I didn't work on the project I should actually have worked on, which is my Obikin Big Bang project (although I did work on that one briefly too before I got distracted by scrolling through the questions still in my inbox).

Instead, I worked on a new ABO project. Another alpha/alpha with a little twist. I don't want to reveal too much just yet, but here's the opening sequence:

He tried.

Anakin Skywalker tried for kriff's sake.

Unfortunately, effort never amounted to anything when the council breathed down one's neck, hungry for a mishap and misjudgments.

It was his fault.

That stung the most. Though not nearly sharp enough to unwind and unspool the anger knotted in Anakin's chest, its roots twisted firmly in his heart and lungs. Angrily, he kicked a crate, which toppled over.

The crashing sound didn't satisfy him, nor did it improve this impossible, damned situation. From her corner in the hangar, Ahsoka hissed.

"Sorry, 'Soka," Anakin muttered through gritted teeth.

Her eyes, luminous and bright blue, blinked once. He didn't receive a verbal response, which was impossible when his Padawan was feral. Anakin hadn't thought…

Honestly, he hadn't expected that Ahsoka wouldn't…

Of course, he should have known -- or at least suspected. Unfortunately, Ahsoka had the worst Master in the Temple. So, he hadn't recognized Ahsoka's gradual slide until it was too late.

His Padawan needed soothing and proper care, but Anakin couldn't breathe through his anger. He knew what was required of him, but Anakin couldn't offer it.

He had to calm down.

<I'm looking forward to working more on this one, but we're still operating on *vibes* alone. And I'm quickly landing in perilous territory. AKA: I have to string together a coherent plot that I like enough to dedicate all my free time to. But I think we'll be fine with this one. I love omegaverse fics, after all)>

I am hereby bothering you with a question and/or statement(?) (as stated in that post about tumblr ask culture)

What do you think should people know about Norway in order not to lump the Scandinavian countries together as some sort of homogenous "Sweden-esque" mass inside their heads out of ignorance?

Also what is your favourite Norwegian song and tv show and movie?

Also if you could paint perfectly and easily in another artist's style, which artist would you choose?

Also I really like your dark greenish blog theme, the desktop one too, even though nowadays people say they don't ever use tumblr desktop anymore

Have a nice day!

Hello there!!

Hm distinctly Norwegian things huh, it can be a bit hard even for us to know xD But I'd say skiing is definitely one thing, no other culture I've seen skiis as much, everyone here has gone cross country skiing at least a couple times in their life. When you go skiing on easter holidays you always bring an orange, a Kvikk Lunsj (similar to KitKat) and hot chocolate. We will go for a walk in any weather, we even have a saying that goes "There is no bad weather, only bad clothes." If it's snowed a shitton and none of the buses are going and it's traffic chaos, that is no excuse to not go to school. You're expected to put on some skiis, wade through meters of snow or just "figure it out". Snow just isn't a valid reason for missing school (unless there's so much that it's literally blocking your entire front door from opening, which yes does happen several places).

We eat bread. So much of it. For breakfast, lunch and supper. And it better be full of whole wheat and seeds and don't you ever dare put syrup or anything sweet in it. Out of all the Nordic countries we celebrate our national day the most, bc we only got our indepence 200 ish years ago. We have huge parades through every city, singing songs about how much we love Norwegian nature and most people will wear a traditional folk costume (there's at least one from every county), and saying happy birthday to everyone we meet. I could go on but I think this is enough for now xD Fave song: Jeg har aldri sett elg Fave show: Probably Brødrene Dal, I don't watch that many fictional ones xD Fave movie: Lange Flate Ballær (incredibly specific humour from my hometown lol)

Artist: Aaaah this is so hard to pick, but I think I'll have to go with swevenfox, especially their dragon age paintings ive been obsessed with for years And thank you so much! I actually exclusively use desktop (and many of my friends do too haha) so I put a lot of care into my blog theme ^^

Hope you have a very lovely day anon ❤

Hello friend! How about 5, 6, and 21 for the identity asks?

hello, hello beloved friend! thank you for the questions!! <3 5. Do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do? - huh. hm. you know.... i think i'm gonna lean towards i'm a human 'being' - i'm an entity that is probably human, and the things i do, my day to day activities and hobbies aren't the basis of my identity. they might be indicative of it, but not the end all be all of it. i think. probably. 6. Are you religious/spiritual? - I was raised roman catholic, so the short answer is i'm hardwired to believe in something no matter how hard i try to do otherwise lmao. but the longer answer, put briefly, is that my spirituality is pretty all over the place these days. i still hold onto some traditions and such from my youth (like i still pray to Mary/Mother figures in general) but also I just sort of do what feels right? I use tarot cards as meditative tools and believe things from the earth can impart energy and as above so below but it's ultimately very personal. at the end of the day, there are a lot of paths that one can choose to take, and we're all just walking each other Home. 21. Do you love easily? Much too easily. But I'd rather love too much, too quickly and get hurt than close myself off and be miserable at best.

Horror asks! ^⁠_⁠^ 13, 20, 25, and 26!

13- a horror movie with the best soundtrack (or! your favorite horror movie soundtracks)

ive been obsessed with The Lost Boys (1987) soundtrack forever! especially Echo & The Bunnymen’s cover of people are strange. 2nd place goes to The Crow (1994)

20- creatures you wish were featured in more horror movies

idk if this counts but i love a good shape shifting monster and would love to see more shape shifting monster movies get made

25- the best/your favorite horror movie plot twist

i have to say Lake Mungo (2008) because man. the end of that movie.

26- a horror movie you didnt expect to like but you did

im going to say the original 3 Paranormal Activity movies all together. people either told me that all of them were boring, or that the first 1 was good and the rest were trash. i like the overarching story! i love family drama and when misogynist boyfriends who don’t believe their partners get fuckin ghost killed

“Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].”

Would love to hear what kind of discarded scenes you might have written. Also super interested in the alternative ending you mentioned on the Christmas fic if you’re ever happy to share. No worries if not tho!! :)

YAY More Fanfic ask meme questions!! The rest of the list can be found HERE if anyone else wants to send questions my way!! These ask games are so much fun! Thank you for indulging me!

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].

Hmmm okay so basically pretty much all of my fics (that I've finished) have ended the way that I planned for them to end. I guess one that ALMOST had a different ending was the A&E Fic - originally it ended with Chapter Nine - but then I decided that after everything we put Fictional!Matty through he deserved to end the fic with more dignity than him literally shitting himself. When working on Chapter 10, the first chapter I didn't have to follow along with what had been established in the Eye Infection Fic, I originally considered Ava being the one to end up in A&E, and Fictional!Matty being a worried helicopter parent over it, but then decide that it was a little morbid, if she was as accident prone as he was, so I ended up going with her birth instead! I hope that answered the question!

Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?

Oh my gosh, in terms of discarded scenes - I actually am pretty bad about cannibalizing scenes that I've cut from fics and reusing them else where or reworking them to fit into other fics. But specifically for the Christmas Fic, BUT here is a screenshot of some notes from the OG outline 😂 (I'm still trying to figure out a way to work in the bit about Fictional!Matty feeling like the villain in a Hallmark movie - I was proud of that one!) I'm also only sharing this because this is (obviously) very much NOT how the fic is ending

Thank you so much for sending me this ask and listening to me ramble about the Christmas Fic!! I'm so grateful that you've taken the time to read my work and also to send me these asks!! I hope you had a great day and that you also have the very best rest of your week!

❤️Ally

For the arospec thing. 5, 8, and 10

5. are you partnering or non partnering?

I am!! @sawa18 is my qpp, I love her sm <3

8. what are some of your favorite arospec characters? this can include characters from popular media or OCs.

PERIDOT. She is so good, my fav Steven Universe character! Otherwise I just hc characters to be aro, there arent many canon options sadly

10. what frustrates you the most about amatonormativity?

The idea that a platonic relationship can't be as deep and meaningful as a romantic relationship. Like that's such bullshit and yet its SO normalized and sdfgfds goddd I wish more people knew about queerplatonic relationships. I wish more people understood.

[red-meat-my-beloved]

Helloo ! Happy wincest Wednesday to you !! For the codependent brothers day : SPN/The Boondock Saints.

I can’t decide what question to ask so I’ll let you pick :

How would Connor and Murphy view Sam and Dean’s relationship in your opinion ? (if they met and ended up hunting with them for a while or if they watched some episodes of SPN) Would they find their bond normal ? Weird ?

If they were living in a universe where it was an option, do you think Connor or Murphy would make a pact with a demon to get their dead brother back, given that they are devoted to God ?

Do you think Sam and Dean could ever act the way Connor and Murphy do in the phone call outtake?

Happy Wincest Wednesday to you my fellow co-dependent brother connaisseur! And what fun and interesting questions!

I'm gonna answer them all :D

How would Connor and Murphy view Sam and Dean’s relationship in your opinion ?

I think they'd be completely blind to their similarities, first off all XD C+M would probably think S+D are just normal brothers, until they find out how little physical intimacy there is between them ("What do you mean you don't hug unless it's the end of the world? Murph and me have been sharing the same toothbrush for the past week." "We have?")

On the flipside, i think S+D would be creeped out bij C+M. Not only by how comfortable they are with eachother but i think the twin-thing would freak Dean out in particular. And I think they'd consider them religious nutjobs with their mission from god, which with the cultish connotation wouldn't help to see their relationship as anthing other than abnormal (again, they'd be ironically blind to the similarities)

If they were living in a universe where it was an option, do you think Connor or Murphy would make a pact with a demon to get their dead brother back, given that they are devoted to God?

Considering their very creative interpretation of the bible, i think they'd do so in a heartbeat. Not only that, but they probably wouldn't even see it as an act against god, but as a gift from god. A second chance to keep their brother safe and the punishment of an eternity in hell for not being able to do so in the first place

Do you think Sam and Dean could ever act the way Connor and Murphy do in the phone call outtake?

In canon? Maybe. In my heart? Definitely

[doxytoy]

i mean, we can probably just keep going until we've covered all these questions, huh? 16, 21, 27, 28, 29!!!

DAMN okay!!

16. have your dirty thoughts shared with those around you or know the dirty thoughts of those around you?

Know the thoughts of others. I’m way too self conscious and honestly paranoid about people irl knowing my horny thoughts

21. get fingered in the library or at a nightclub?

Probably nightclub because I’d be far too invested in the library astfsaasd. Also less chance of getting caught and kicked out

27. lace or latex?

Oh Lace definitely. I have a thing for soft <3

28. white or black lingerie?

That’s a toughie. Both are good, but maybe black? IDK I might look better in it 🤷 But I’d love either on a partner! 🖤🤍

29. have someone remote control your vibrator or control it for someone else?

I actually have a pretty good poker face and I’m not super vocal (at least not when I touch myself- that could very well be different if someone else is touching me), so I think I’d probably be pretty good with it in- the only trouble is I already struggle with paying attention because of ADHD so if I was in a situation where I needed to absorb & retain information the vibrator would probably be more frustrating than embarrassing (unless it was on a nice low setting, then that could be pretty soothing). I like the idea of controlling someone else’s vibe, but I worry that I might be too much of a soft Dom for that? Like obviously there’s nothing wrong with being a soft dom, but the point of remote control vibrator play is usually to be kind of mean about it, and I don’t know if I have it in me y’all 😅 I wouldn’t want to risk stressing them out too much or causing problems when they’re interacting with other people. Though I’d really like the power play and embarrassing my partner for their pleasure!

[grey-viridian]

I've got your back!

Always.

3, 13, and 14, and also 21 for red rowan, please <3

Eee thank you Kate ;v; 💜💜 taking writer asks here!

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

I can tell you immediately what tropes can be found repeated through my fics.

Some aspect of parenthood, present or future (wanting kids, pregnancy plots, or characters being parents already). That was easy to fit in with Red Rowan because Yennefer canonly wants children very much, so it made for a compelling narrative conflict and an interesting exploration of her character.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - characters are forced to make choices and do things they would never otherwise see themselves doing because they hope it's leading towards a good ending they deserve. Combine that with the occasional fall from grace/"I gave up everything and in the end I still lost" and it's just. Chef's kiss.

"Retired badass" is another trope I love and will use whenever I have a chance. Yes, I lived through hell and retired... but now circumstances have forced me back into the fray, and I'm about to make it everyone's problem.

13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don’t anymore?

Hmm. Not exactly a trope, but I think I used to be a lot more into shipping than I am now. I think I'm about 50/50 with whether I even care about ships at all when I get into a media these days. I still enjoy them of course but they've drifted significantly from being my main focus of interest in creating for things I like.

14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?

Ah, yeah, a few for sure. I'm not huge on a lot of more campy fanfic tropes (that's generous - I'm extremely picky about fanfic tropes) but I'd read them if I knew/trusted the writer and wanted to see what they did with them. There are also a few darker subjects where knowing/trusting the writer and their intentions more in-depth makes it easier (or even possible) to allow for unfettered immersion.

21. If you wrote a “missing scene” in Red Rowan, what would it be?

For Red Rowan? Aw man, there are so many things I'd love to write for that fic (including an entire sequel of sorts I was picking at at one time), though to be completely honest you wrote the most amazing interlude scene imaginable with Camellia (there needs to be more soft Eskel/Shani in this world, you have truly done the lord's work). If I had to think of any other scenes I might like to write...

Possibly something that better explores Lambert and Keira's outcome, where they are, and what's been going on with them. There's more going on behind the scenes with the two of them - both of them have deeper issues that they're willing to let on, but both are too stubborn to just come out and talk about them, even with how deeply in love they are and how much they trust each other over all other people. I didn't want to delve too deeply into their story in the actual fic because 1) it's Geralt's story, not Lambert's, and 2) Lambert gave exactly as many details as he was meant to give, and any more would unbalance the narrative.

But... I do love them, your honour. Maybe once the big overall story wraps they can have more content. As a treat.

orchid and mahonia please 🌱

orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?

— this may sound pessimistic, but in all honesty, i don’t have one. perfection is a thing i’ve craved my entire life, unhealthily so, and it took me much too long to realize that it doesn’t exist. however! here are some of the ones i think get close enough to it:

old friend ⇢ sea wolf

drown me in the river ⇢ mother falcon

take me to war ⇢ the crane wives

pistol whip ⇢ imagine dragons (2008)

all songs i’ve listened to waayyyyy too many times but never get old tbh. i love them

mahonia ⇢ what place, thing, activity inspires you most and how do you express yourself when it does?

— in all honesty, the main thing that pushes me to write is turmoil. i typically have a sporadic writing/drawing schedule because it all comes from emotion. this is typically why i struggle to write long fics, or fluffy ones, because most of my fuel to write is, once again, sporadic, intense emotion — typically longing, nostalgia, grief, etc. i find the hardest thing to deal with is bittersweetness, so i typically write from that.

aside from that, i suppose i could say music? i don’t really know if this counts/is what the question meant, but. oh well.

i find it much harder to be poetic or metaphorical without it; my writing is much, much worse if i’m doing it in silence. aside from that, i don’t really have a specific place or activity that inspires it (unless the media from which i write counts). and, i express myself via either art or writing! (creative double threat. in exchange, i cannot do math).

[orfeoarte]

3, 6 and 11 for the Asks to Spread Love <3

Thank you sososo much! <3 I'll be honest, I've been here for less than a year so i might not be insightful lol

3. One of the best takes you’ve ever seen

God I don't know. I'm very new to Tesblr and I know every single take is discussed as the most problematic topic in academia here. I personally like the "Vanus is autistic" take, though I think that's pretty much canon sdjndgsdfg. let's see. I also saw someone say queerness in Tamriel has a very different meaning than it does for us, since it seems to have much less pushback for non-normative expressions of sexuality and gender. As someone who does research on queerness in art, fully endorsed! lol

6. Ship or platonic relationship that you got into because of the fans

Easy. Vannimarco. I started as hating it but it grew on me because my friends have the worms for them! I'm not much of a shipper in TES though, I prefer to engage with characters by themselves and OCs, usually

11. Recommend a fic with an unusual/original headcanon or characterisation that you loved

shamelessly plugs my friend @drowsy-fantasy here. Check out "This Is A Story I Once Heard" (will add the link later because tumblr hates outgoing links <3)
