#You mean beautiful impressionism right? Cuz that's what I'm seeing!

hi I made a list of question yay~ but it had 18 numbers in it,,, so I think I'm going to send them in parts with the most important ones (turns out it's 11). starting with: 8, 20, 28 and 30.

Lol thank you (and thanks for warning me about my asks being turned off oof).

8. How did you get involved in your latest fandom?

My latest fandom is of course this one, but I don’t think I’d consider myself categorizing myself as being part of the TCC fandom as a standalone because there’s aspects of every segment in the Wizarding saga (Fantastic Beasts, Mauraders, Original Series, and now TCC and next gen) that I like.

That wasn’t the question, Amelia, you punk ass bitch.

OKAY so I got involved in the Wizarding fandom almost a year ago back in November (I remember it was right after Thanksgiving) when I decided to stop by my local bookstore (which my dumbass CONSTANTLY forgets is just a block away from me) and buy the entire seven book box set of the original series, the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them textbook (the big red one), and the Cursed Child screenplay. It was the first time I’d read the play, because when it first came out I was pretty impressionable so I believed what everyone said about it being trash. Long story short I read it in an hour, it wasn’t trash, and I decided to restart my Tumblr account to start hyper-obsessing over Scorbus and the next gen babes.

I’d read the original series YEARS ago, so long ago I forgot almost everything about what I read (which is hilarious in some sense but also super cool cuz when I reread the books it was like reading them for the first time again which was kind of a beautiful experience). I’d never been really interested in Harry Potter though (he kinda pissed me off when I first read the books). Though I’d always been obsessed with my Hogwarts house, as most folks are. It was Albus and the Cursed Child that really helped me appreciate the story. Now I’m utterly obsessed and I own way too much Hufflepuff merch oof.

20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?

Lily and Lysander (Lilyander). First of all, it’s a het ship, and those aren’t usually my style because gay ships (W/W and M/M both) just make me feel more. It’s mostly because both Lily Luna and Lysander don’t really have much confirmed in regards to their canon personalities, stories, etc., so I took full creative and artistic liberty and built their relationship from the ground up based on how I perceived them and they just turned out to be so fucking Good™. Probably one of the very few het ships I would sacrifice my soul to. Of course if you ship either of them with someone else, be my guest, but Lilyander is the only ship for me in regards to those two next gen babes. One of these days I really wanna write another fic for them cuz Creation Out of Nothing was honestly so fun to write, and I think it’s a good idea to explore more genres and expand my comfort zone, even if it means writing het ships XD I really like writing from Lysander’s POV too because my take on him being an absolute disaster Ravenclaw is so good.

28. If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?

I didn’t even have to think hard for this, it would be the kissing scene on the bridge at the end of Damages because writing that scene gave me some Emotions™.

30. What inspires you to write?

Spite. Not even kidding. Spite fuels a lot of my writing. Probably because I’m a Taurus, yeet. 

BUT also music, reading other people’s writing, movies, friends and ESPECIALLY my readers who seem legitimately interested in seeing more from me. That especially touches me so much, you have no idea, because a lot of the time I look at my writing and just:

Then I remember there are people who exist who took precious time out of their life to read the trash I wrote and that is? Literally so motivating? Like you could have done literally anything, there are BILLIONS of actual books and other fanfic, BETTER fanfic that what I put out, yet ya’ll decided to read my work? Bless you.

BUT it’s mostly spite.
