8, 11, 26, 54, 55 for the fic ask meme!

HIIII HI ELCIE it feels like a hot minute since I left watori... I'm sorry... I shall be back soon for the prompt fest

8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story? uhhhhhhhh I .. I don't know? I like the story. I like to see it as an entire thing. Unless the question means if I prefer writing the beginning middle or end, in which case I like writing the end usually. It's fun to put into words the payoff that I've been painstakingly setting up and finding fun ways to wrap up the loose ends.

11. Link your three favorite fics right now nnghbbtjh I DON'T READ. OKAY. NTM I basically live blog everything I read to you ANYWAY but fine, let me go into my ao3 history jeez. They're all shuake. What You've Already Buried - malevolentmango ; post-canon fix it, love letter to Goro Akechi in every single way. Long but I love it. I'm still sobbing over it. what carnage you've left - intimatopia ; oneshot. I don't really have the words it's just, extremely up my alley, and bite sized so you can read it over and over and over and over and over and over and o shadow of your whale fall - Alykas ; merfuck!!! MERFUCK!!!! GOD IT'S PERFECT!!!!! EVERYTHIGN YOU WANT! SHARK AKIRA! POISONOUS GORO! SIZE DIFF!

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride? Wildest is kind of. A strange word I don't really write stuff that's too wild, or maybe my sense of wild-ness is off center. Wild in terms of Crack is probably the Agegap Mafia Debacle, which is co-written with you and zeda, so maybe that doesn't count. Wild as in, how-many-tropes-can-I-fit-into-this-hugely-indulgent-thing is maybe Hallows, or Phoenix Blood? Wild as in, what-the-fuck-did-I-just-read is maybe Blind Wolves? Yeah. We'll go with that. Blind Wolves.

54. What’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process? HOW am I supposed to find a favourite. I basically only do this stuff for fun anyway so everything I do is fun. I like editing I guess? It's fun refining my words and sentences and structure, even if I am only a creature though I cannot catch them all, alas. Something very rewarding about finding the ULTIMATE word or turn of phrase.

55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones? Teru is definitely a long time favourite. He's like a comfy kind of character where it's really easy to just slip into character. Goro, too, follows that only he's been pushed to more extremes. I kind of follow the beat of my own drum, and also I'm not a particularly big author or one that has a following, so it's not really been affected by anything other than sitting in a pit with some friends yelling at each other (affectionately).

@aftokrator-official ur such a real one

[freshdickies]

S & T!

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged):

Ooh, this one's fun! Let me just list a handful of my own headcanons for MP100 and Watori:

• Ritsu is in love with his brother and Shou has complicated sexual feelings about his father, regardless of who they end up with romantically or sexually [I prefer them together! Their private taboo feelings, once shared, become part of the cement that binds them] • Reigen quit the water cooler business for many reasons, one of which being that he was sexually assaulted by some coworkers at an all-but-mandatory drinking party. That's why he can't handle alcohol and has no close or intimate relationships with adults. • Neighbours from Aftokrator lay eggs. My PERSONAL interpretation of this is that there is no dimorphism of primary sex characteristics for their species, and they all have basically the same downstairs mix-up going on regardless of secondary sex characteristics. Either parent can incubate their own or their partner's fertilized egg/s, and though it can be done externally, it's both 1: safer, and 2: more likely that an egg will gestate to maturity if a parent can manage periodic and/or sustained insertion. • In my own 'Trans Teru' headcanon, I personally like to think that Teru's deadname was still Teruki, since 'Teruki' is a unisex name that becomes gendered solely based off of what kanji you use. I like to think that Teru started going by the nickname [in katakana] 'Teru' and that, when he entered Black Vinegar Middle and officially began living full-time as a boy, he filled out his official documents with more masculine kanji that he chose.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?:

I have a lot of headcanons, but I'm both 1: usually a big fan of 2 or more contradictory interpretations of a character or ship, depending on the scenario I want to discuss or explore, and 2: generally pretty chill about them! So I can't think of anything that I would DIE defending that's just a headcanon, y'know? I'll fight to the death about misinterpretations of canon that bother me [i.e. 'Yuri Plisetsky is a delicate waif' or 'Mello from Death Note is a foppish gayboy who slept his way to the top of the Mafia' or 'Reigen and Mob have a father and son relationship'], but headcanons are fluid and everyone gets to have em!

Smash Borders 2nd Anniversary!

I’ve been waiting all month for this and it’s finally here! Happy 2nd Anniversary, Smash Borders!

The sharp-eyed will notice the change in the bottom left corner besides the 2nd Anniversary background, but I will explain that update later. First:

Look at all the shenanigans happening in this picture.

To celebrate the 2nd Anniversary, there are four special campaigns. 

First, there will be an Anniversary gacha where on the first 10 pull, at least one trigger will be 6☆ or above for sure, and all 6 and 7☆ triggers will have twice as much chance as usual for the duration of this gacha - which starts 21st July and will end 31st July.

Second:

The B-rank Rank Wars Arc begins, available in the quest tab under SP. Right now only one part is available, but there is a total of 7 rounds (Round 1~6 + Final) and the rest will be implemented at a later date.

Third:

An Agent Register has been installed, available from the Start Screen (yes, this is the new button in the bottom left corner). Pressing it gives you this:

A list of every character in your account. The button on the bottom left orders the characters in the Japanese Syllabary order (a i u e o, ka ki ku ke ko etc.), and pressing it will reorder them into Birthday order (those without official birthdays are at the end, including Yuuma whose birthday was revealed in a Q&A but not official), then age order (which also has the New 3 Idiots at the end though their ages are alluded to in the Graph of what school everyone goes to).

The button on the bottom right will narrow the characters down by Type (Knowledge, Skill, Body), then Squad + Aftokrator + Other (New 3 Idiots & Jin).

Pressing one of the characters give this screen:

The left half is pretty much the same as the one for characters in-game, you can swap around their triggers and outfits - as long as you own it already. The top left hand corner goes back to the Title Screen. The top right hand corner is just the character with no extra buttons, easier to screenshot to your heart’s content, and the bottom right button is a virtual battle:

That allows you to choose the enemy you’re facing (top right button), hit them with a sure-fire kill (middle right) or a normal attack (bottom right).

And finally, there will be a login bonus every day from 22nd July to 1st August where you get 2 crystals every day with 20 by the end.

Congrats, Smash Borders, it’s so heartwarming to see it still hanging on even with the hiatus :’)

[sekai-torigaa]

What will happen to Hyuse.

World Trigger’s been on hiatus for half a year now (omg)? I just wanted to talk about stuff since the tags been lacking contents lately. So let’s talk about things to kinda make the fandom “active”! Feel free to add your thoughts on it.

So in the recent chapters, Hyuse officially joined T-2 after mowing down all those poor C-Rankers. Hyuse himself stated that going back to Aftokrator is his main goal. But once Border gets to Aftokrator, will he possibly try to kidnap Chika? Let’s ignore what Karasawa said about Hyuse once they arrive to Afto (drugging him to sleep or doing something else to him to prevent him from betraying Border). 

Let’s say they don’t drug Hyuse to sleep or anything, in this situation, do you think he will take the chance and try to kidnap Chika to save his master? Because if I were in his situation, I would most likely to take the chance and do that. Or do you think he’ll leave her alone bc she’s Yotaro’s friend (because at this point his friendship with Yotaro developed so much).

👻

I condensed the asks just for my own sake sfgdhggjnl my memory is really hsort and i do not remember these random emogees

👻Is there a scene that you find intimidating that you have yet to write?

I am not scared of anything. My fics should be scared of ME.

❔Choose a random WIP and talk about it.

okay well this feels mildly unfair because I talk to you about everything and by proxy you know all the wips that exist ever and also all my fandoms even the ones ur not in but okay. I'll pick a few for you <3 arknights: god I don't think I'll ever get around to bullying horse uncle but I do want to finish the miss christine fic at some point, if I ever get struck by lightning and the planets align and I've been hauled back into the depths of is2 for inspiration. I just. There's So Much I Want To Say and also I feel like lucian deserves to get a little bit wrecked by the tropemaster :/ watori: mcfucking orangement. I actually rewrote a little bit a few weeks ago. I wanted to take it into a different direction but that has kind of evaporated and I'm left with something I can pass off as a chapter of something bigger and half a page of something else that is too ??? to post as is. So I'm just... leaving it there for now. I still want to get that jinyuu tag to double digits or so help me god. p5: EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE okay okay okay okay okay okay actually I'm going to keep this one a secret between the crab bucket okay? okay <3 you know what I'm talking about mp100: my sister in christ i want to finish that post s3 th ing so bad but I keep tripping into new fandoms

  Based on the sci-fi action manga by Daisuke Ashihara, World Trigger Season 2 is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. Here's the official synopsis:

  Border Defence Agency was established to counter the attacks from the "Neighbors," beings from the other world possessing unknown forces. A low rank Border agent, Osamu Mikumo, teams up with a Neighbor, Yuma Kuga, and a childhood friend, Chika Amatori. They strive to win through the Rank Wars within the Border to be selected for the away squads to the "Neighborhood," the other world. Meanwhile, another attack from the Neighborhood was detected. Mikado City is still damaged from the second large-scale invasion by the largest military nation, Aftokrator. To prevent panic among the city and citizens, Border arranges a confidential interception based on the foresight of Yuichi Jin by mainly deploying selected A-Rank elite squads. But when a Gate appears, and Attacker rank #1 Kei Tachikawa set to take action, Jin sees an ominous future.
