Thank you so much for the ask!!! 🥺☺️ and I am so so sorry this is way longer than I was expecting it to be 😅
***
🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
While I do love my angst and it does get me emotional I think what gets me the most emotional is just casual expressions of love and/or soft moments between characters when someone lets their guard down. For example a character placing a blanket over their friends and keeping vigil for the night or a character who usually keeps to themself having a child latch onto them and refuse to let go. (These two moments being some of my favorites that I've written recently)
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
The most common themes in my fics tend to be found family and finding yourself/personal growth which I know are pretty common everywhere. To go into a bit more detail I want to express to my (future) readers that no matter how lost you are, no matter the mistakes you've made, and no matter who you used to be, you can pull through and things will get better.
I write not only because I love it but also to share my experiences as well as my hopes and dreams for the future. It's both therapeutic in its own way but also I like to think that by expressing some of my own personal experiences through my writing it might help someone else who is going through something similar feel a little less alone and maybe it might give them something to hope for too.
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
I do listen to music while I write although I tend to listen to instrumental music so the lyrics don't distract me from the words in my brain haha. I like to listen to whatever music will put me in the mood for what I'm trying to write at the moment. So for the last few writing sessions I've been listening to fantasy/renaissance music and it's been really helping me get in the right mindset 😄 (for nanowrimo I've been writing on a story I'm co-writing @dryads-veil)
💞 Who's your comfort character?
Okay so I'm going to be difficult and say I don't have a comfort character…I more so have comfort groups that aren't necessarily romantic. I just have certain characters that just make me so happy to write together and make me feel all cozy and soft inside.
Comfort pairings/trios:
Mason/Felix/Jackie… are just the best friends ever Jackie and Felix always giving Mason a heart attack when they get in over their heads when they set their mind to something but always doing their best to make sure he doesn't work too much and has fun and does things outside of his job as a teacher.
(Also honorable mention I love Felix and his little sister Sofia they're very close and their interactions are so funny and adorable and I love them)
Kafele/Amari… Well they have a rough start but even though they can't remember they used to be childhood friends and God they were so adorable and once they learn to trust each other again they would do anything for the other and idk they're both a bit spiky but they make each other soft and I love them so much.
Astraea/Anakin… just owns my whole heart. Astraea trying to be the best Padawan she can be for him in appreciation that he saved her while Anakin just wants her to be the happiest she can be and feels like he's not being a very good Master seeing as Astraea just naturally excels in being a Jedi when it's actually just being terrified to speak up cause of her past but she thinks he's the best Master ever. Idk where I was going with this but the two of them are just really soft for each other and I love it so much.
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
Ooo this is another hard one… I don't think I really have a particular favorite to write although I have general characters I favor. I'll be honest it's probably kind of obvious that the characters that are easier for me to write are the ones that I relate to personally the most but I think the ones that are the most fun to write for me are the ones that are very active. Characters who are incapable of sitting still and doing nothing, characters who are impatient, curious, passionate, or stubborn are my favorite kinds to write.
Specific characters that fit this would be: Amari (one of my Miraculous Ladybug ocs), Victoria (one of my leverage ocs), Felix and Jackie (in one my original stories with no title so far), the Boys™ Rah, Haeju and Xi’aire (in one of my original stories currently titled The Missing Piece), and an honorable mention for Aisha who so badly wants to acts on her emotions but tends to let her fear get in the way
This wideout shit is getting out of control. This week we had 15 wideouts that reached the century mark. We also have some big names making their way to the blog this season. Without further ado…
Keenan Allen is a man amongst boys. Right now Allen makes the game look really easy. The chargers have used Allen in the slot more than I’ve ever seen. And it’s definitely paying off. Allen caught 18 balls for 215 yards with zero scores. And now that counterpart Mike Williams is injured, I expect Allen to continue putting the weight on his back and carrying the team.
Davante Adams takes home the WOW (wideout of the week) award. It’s refreshing to see Adams have the type of performance he’s capable of having each week. Davante finished his night with 13 catches for 172 yards and 2 touchdowns. Adams dominated all over the field to make his first appearance of the year.
Tyreek Hill is amazzzing!!! Hill cannot be guarded 1on 1. Agains the Denver Broncos Hill was up to his usual shenanigans. Hill caught 9 passes for 157 yards and 1 tub. Hill continues to obliterate angles. And although he left Patrick Mahomes 2 seasons ago, Hill’s production has steadily increased and I believe if not Justin Jefferson, Tyreek is another wideout who can eclipse the daunting 2000 yards in a season.
Mama…Their goes that man! Justin Jefferson is a beautiful thing to watch. I love the way he’s playing right now. And I’m even more impressed by his run after catch. He’s dominating the field in every aspect of the game. Against the Los Angeles Chargers Mr. Jefferson caught 7 passes for 159 yards and 1 touchdown.
Another name I have never heard of had himself quite the performance. Nathaniel “Tank” Dell absolutely destroyed defenders on his way to a rookie break out performance. Catching 5 balls for a whopping 145 yards and 1 touchdown. Dell most definitely caught my eye and I’m glad the kid had his first 100-yard game in the NFL.
Adam Thielen is a name I have not heard called in at least two years. Glad the kid is still able to put up big numbers making his first appearance on the wideouts4life blog. That boy Adam pulled his old bag of tricks out on his way to an 11-catch, 145-yard, 1 touchdown performance.
Ja’Marr Chase Your Dreams has not started the year like he would like. As he put it after the game against the Rams, “I’m always fucking open.” Sounds like a true wideout. I remember in college saying the same shit every play to never get the ball thrown my way. Chase caught 12 balls for 141 yards with zero scores. I’m hopeful Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals play callers get this young lion the ball. Wideout fans like to see the wideouts ball.
AJ Brown is a dog. I know when watching tape of Mr. Brown, he’s going to give everything he has to give. After not contributing to the Eagles as he would have liked too. AJ Brown caught 9 passes for 131 yards. Brown did not score but every yard he earned helped the eagles beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
No introduction is need when a name like Deebo Samuel is mentioned. And as I write this blog, looking at the names above, I’m ecstatic because for the next decade I will get the chance to witness some of the greatest wideouts to ever play the game. You have to be a man to play for the San Francisco 49ers. They run so many fucking slants, it’s ridiculous. Deebo scored on a beautiful go-route thrown by Brock Purdy ending his night with 6 catches for 129 yards.
It sucks that on a great day that Mike Williams was having. His knee got twisted in an awkward position leading to the young man tearing his ACL. Williams is out for the season. But prior to the injury Williams caught 7 passes for 121 yards and scored on trick play from fellow wideout Keenan Allen.
Amari Cooper is like fine wine. He just keeps getting better with age. I still standby the point Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe that Cooper does turn it on and off. But maybe that isn’t a bad thing. It definitely lures defensive backs to sleep. Amari still is the best on press release and it’s not even close. Cooper almost made a guy fall on a sweet fade route he hauled in finishing his afternoon with 7 catches for 116 yards and 1 touchdown.
DK Metcalf is a physical specimen. His route running is not great. And that’s ok, Terrell Owens wasn’t a route runner but he damn sure made plays. As I watch more and more film Metcalf reminds me of the hall of fame wideout. He catches better than T.O and for sure is faster as well. Against the Panthers Metcalf caught 6 passes for 112 yards helping secure the victory for the Seahawks.
Stefon Diggs is one of my favorite wideouts to watch. One pet peeve of mines is when wideouts make a routine catch against zone coverage and get up with the shenanigans. Against the Washington Commanders Diggs caught 8 passes for 112 yards. I feel he needs to do more because there are two hogs in Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill battling for the NFL’s top wideout spot.
Ohio State and Alabama have put out tons of the wideouts who are really good as of the recent 5 years. One of those wideouts Chris Olave an Ohio State product just keeps on producing. Olave had a sweet one-hand catch up the right sideline that was ridiculous. Olave finished his night with 8 catches for 104 yards. For a 2nd year player, Olave checks all the boxes and I can only imagine his game will continue to get better.
Last man to reach the century mark this weekend is none other than Amon-Ra St. Brown. Against the Atlanta Falcons, St Brown was a nuisance. St. Brown hauled in 9 passes for 102 yards placing him at #5 in receiving yards.
Another week of wideouts balling out. 15 wideouts catching for at least 100-yards is a record. Im ecstatic to see if we can eclipse this feat once again during the season. A lot of writing but well worth it. Wideouts Let’s Go!
Also yeah this new Hazbin cast is not it man. I’m sorry. Most of them either sound flat, don’t fit with the character design, or are just not as good as the original. Angel and Alastor I especially don’t like, Alastor sounds so nasally and Amari just can’t top Bosco’s performance, with Bosco not only was he good but when Alastor was threatening, he SOUNDED threatening. I may have made fun of Al’s design, but Bosco’s voice is what made the character interesting and threatening for me. With Amari’s voice he just sounds beyond silly and I can’t take him seriously.
Blake Roman is literally just intimidating Kovach, except this time Angel just sounds forced and awkward. It makes you wonder why Viv just didn’t get Kovach back since it’s obvious she wanted to find someone so similar to him, and then you realize…oh yeah, Kovach wasn’t on Broadway or is a big singer. Micheal was really good at what he did as Angel too as everyone has already said so Viv fumbled the bag SO hard with these two it’s sad. I’m especially pissed about Alastor cause Bosco was the reason he was my favorite character and now he sounds so cringe.
Husk and Vox are played by two very talented actors/singers but their voices just don’t fit with the character design, though I’m not that against Christain Borle as Vox, the voice doesn’t fit the twink design but at the very least they got a man who sounds like a full grown adult playing a full grown adult lmao. Husk is a different story however, because it feels like Keith was picked to play him just because he was famous and nothing else. Back in the pilot, Viv had a specific voice in mind for Husk and she found it, aka Mick. He perfectly came off as an old washed up grumpy alcoholic, and Keith’s voice kinda just…erases all that personality. Sure Keith’s voice sounds cool but that’s it, it’s style over substance.
I wish I could say more about Charlie and Vaggie but I’m not sure what to say other then they kinda sound forced and awkward too, and I hate saying that cause they’re also played by two very talented actresses. Stephanie B played Mirabel from Encanto, she’s had voice acting experience before so I hope she ends up sounding good in the actual show. Erika meanwhile…I hate to say this but other than her singing voice there’s nothing really special about her as Charlie compared to Jill Harris, though even with Jill I never felt any strong feelings towards her performance.
Adam meanwhile, dear GOD I was right about him looking bad in animation form, his design sucks so fucking much. Fans were right, that’s Alex Brightman’s voice, he seems to be using his normal voice but just a tad deeper. He’s the only one who’s a fine choice, though I really wish we got to hear him as Pentious here!
But yeah in terms of the voice cast I’m just disappointed man, really disappointed. It makes you really realize how talented the pilot cast was. They were so good cause they were all chosen for a reason that wasn’t just “they’re famous” and it fucking sucks how bad Viv fumbled everything.

So, um... Could we get the Superstition RO's reactions to being teased by the rest of the gang for having visible hickeys or nail scratches that Roe gave them on their skin? Also, the RO's reactions to being teased for leaving *Roe* with visible hickeys or nail scratches too?
You'll know who sent this ask in a few days, I suppose... 👀 thank you, by the way! 👀
Being Teased for the Hickeys/Scratches
Chris: "I'm a man of great taste and with a high weakness on the neck, what can I say?"
Sydero: "You guys' teasing is just making me want to go for round ten."
Zillah: "Don't be upset and jealous. It's an ugly look on all of you."
Rahim: "Would you just shut up!"
Amari: "I missed one?" *mumbling and blushing* "I swear I do one and another just pops up."
Chanara: "Imagine how long they had to suck that one area for it to finally show. I kept telling them to just move on but adamant is adamant."
Being Teased for Leaving the Hickeys/Scratches
Chris: "Do you guys even hear yourselves? What you call teasing, I call a pat on the back."
Sydero: "If you think that looks bad you should see the markings I left on the downstairs region."
Zillah: "Yes yes behold my masterpiece and then shut the fuck up about it."
Rahim: *not saying anything and is currently between wanting to tell them to all shut the fuck up and bury his face in his hands*
Amari: "... that was me holding back ..."
Chanara: "Should've heard their moans." *wink wink*
alright nivi baby a couple of question i want your thoughts on
do you think anybody else transfers? i've seen speculation for both q and yanna but idk it seems unlikely and if it was anybody else that would really surprise me
twitter is saying that maybe ines and amari got asked to leave so we can have more scholarship spots open for the transfer portal do we think that's true
now that we have scholarship spots who do you want and do you think it'll be two forwards or a guard and forward (that timea gardiner option looks pretty great)
how much truth do you think there is to the chen rumors? im sure she's great but i really want pg paige next year and we already have kk to run backup point so idk
bestie did you finally start writing part 5? (no pressure but im so desperate for it)
love, 🐞
Hi lovely, haven't seen you in a minute <3
I don't think anyone else is going to transfer. Q seems pretty adamant on how much she loves this team and Ayanna transferring right after an injury also seems unlikely. Everybody else is pretty much locked in as you said.
It could probably be a bit of both? A little push from the coaching staff and their own desire for actual playing time. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a little bit of that but in the end, I think it's good for everyone involved.
Personally, I want two forwards, specifcally someone 6'5+. Timea Gardiner would be nice but I'm also curious to see who else ends up there (here's looking at you Kiki). But we really, really need frontcourt players. Jana hasn't played a season and achilles injuries are rough and putting that much pressure on her is just not a good idea. Same goes for Ayanna. We don't know when Aubrey will be back. And while I have immense faith in Sarah, again putting pressure on a freshmen is not the ideal scenario. So I really need us to get some experienced frontcourt players like we did with Dorka.
I think it's always a possibility but I don't think so. I think it's hard for Geno to guarantee her a starting position and I'm sure wherever she goes, that's one of her expectations. However, I'm actually not completely against us getting another guard. I do think we need to focus on forwards but honestly an experienced guard wouldn't hurt. Beyond Paige, our backcourt (whole team really) is missing a fair amount of experience. Azzi's likely to be on limited minutes to start and I'm not fully sure about Caroline either. Obviously KK and Ash have proven themselves but they're still just only sophomores. And obviously the freshmen are the freshmen. I don't think having a strong experienced guard would hurt but the focus should still be on getting a big, and I don't think Kaitlyn Chen is the right option.
I did lmao everyone can put the pitchforks away now
Sorry babes, that got really long but clearly I have a lot of thoughts.
drayton: seth rollins - curbstomp. tell me im wrong. i could rant about dray for days im literally in love with him
lacey: aj lee - black widow. lacey’s just a liiiiiiiiittle bit crazy and i think she likes to climb shit soo
amarys: sasha banks - bank statement. i gotta say it was a tie between this & the cody cutter but amarys is very much like penny where she just wants to get this over with
crispin: eddie guererro - frogsplash. crispin likes fucking bouncing everywhere. that kid is so hyperactive.
carmine: shayna baszler - kirifuda clutch. shes so angry all the time
kieran: adam cole - the boom. kieran definitely attacks from behind. scrawny mfer. i love him <3
I did one of these for my sideblog BlackFemmeCharacterDependency (BFCD) and... While it’ll take longer on this end to do because there are more prominent figures here than on that one, I thought it would be good to also have one for my main...
EDIT: Okay, so the one that I did for BFCD does not work, so I am posting this one to see if it works, and if not, they’ll both be WIPS until I have the time to repair them
