#aqua talks writing

[aqua-loves-writing]

I was able to finish two buffer chapters \^^/

There's a chapter in between them I'm struggling with but it should be easier to write now that I have some things clearer in my mind

[aqua-phantasy]

Considering my plan to stay inactive on tumblr crumbled like dust I'll be going back to posting chapter of my novel over on @aqua-loves-writing from tomorrow again day by day and then publish it again on tapas once I have drafted enough for book 1 part 2 ^^

[myaatwins]

so. i know this isn't nothing new and there's probably a thousand (far more eloquently written) posts about this but! in light of chapter 166 i just wanted to reiterate this once more.

the movie arc seems like it's supposed to be about other characters understanding ai. who was ai hoshino? what were her flaws, her hopes, her dreams? she wasn't a goddess–far from it–so who was the real ai, the person rather than the idol?

and it failed on delivering. so bad!!!!

sure we have a bit about ruby Starting to understand ai. nothing from aqua because who cares right. because if aqua actually came to understand ai how could we have the tragic but "hopeful" ending?

ai's dream was never to perform at the dome.

the dome was always ichigo and miyako's dream. ai, being the The Ultimate People Pleaser, just smiled and nodded–acted as if she were happy.

so it's really weird how performing at the dome was reframed to be ai's dream, the fate that she could never fulfill–but hey it's okay because ruby will!!!

there was no need for history to be rewritten and this actually just makes it seem (no matter what the actual intent was) that the others never did learn to see through ai's facade.

(also might i add that this is also harmful to ruby's character in the sense that she is not allowed to have her own dreams. it would have been perfectly fine for her to want to perform at the dome because it was what SHE wanted to do but. alas after a certain point of the story ruby is not allowed to exist outside of brocon jokes or to be anything other than ai 2: electric boogaloo)

was her dream for ruby to be an idol and for aqua to be an actor?

when ai said that she imagined a future where ruby was an idol and aqua was an actor she didn't say it because that was her dream.

personally i think that because ai was dying and she knew it would cause her children pain she wanted them to know that their futures could still be bright and that they should have hope!! i don't even think she gave it much thought other than that they looked happy and like they had fun performing!!! which made her happy!!!!!!!

but she never would have imposed that future on them. ai knew about the entertainment world and she never would have forced her babies to be a part of it unless they wanted to.

so what were ai's dreams? easy: for her loved ones to be safe and happy.

this. that's it.

so

"the future that mama [...] illuminated for me"

is it though? would ai have wanted this? would she want the man that she had loved–who she had known as a boy who was hurting and who needed someone to be there for him–to die as nothing more than a cartoonish villain? would she want ruby to have to pretend she wasn't miserable so she could fulfill ai's not-dream of performing at the dome? would she want her precious son, who she loved from the moment she saw him on the ultrasound, to die a gruesome, painful death, even though he so desperately wanted to live?

not in a million years.

Things I read on the internet that's a declaration of hate for Kana and my reaction (hoping I feel better after typing them all out)

"Kana makes everything about herself"

Did she want to be an idol? Did she want to be a center girl? (Girlie don't even know what a center girl is hahahaha). In Tokyo Blade, did she want the spotlight? That one time Kana wanted anything for herself is when she told Aqua her new dream. She did not even have a graduation concert. She did not have that movie that director told her about. In 137, she was praised for being a handy actor that can uplift others and improve herself and was described as "lacks opportunity" and many chapters after that, she still did not have an opportunity for herself. Kaburagi said they'd sell her as genius actor but that was not addressed anymore. So where is that she makes everything about herself when nothing was sbout her anyway? Not the idol career. Not as an actress. Not as a human loved back by the one she loves. She did not become anything she ever wanted so really how was this all about her? No I really want to know, how did Kana make everything about herself? Like I am really curious where this is coming from ah why do you hate Kana so much? 🥺

"___ best girl compared to Kana who only cries all the time"

Why can't we just go with the "____ best girl." period. Why do you need to put down a character to praise another character I am genuinely curious. I mean my favourite character has always been Kana but not ever did I hate on Akane or Ruby or anyone because why would I when all these characters have different stories of their own? And why do these girls need to compete with each other anyway?! Who's giving out the crown and sash? What's the point??? Your favourite is the best girl for you. Okay! Other's favourite is best girl for them. Okay, too! That's perfectly normal so why are you fighting each other I do not understand 😭

"despicable for slapping a corpse"

Kana slapping Aqua was something that belonged to them. No one knows that conversation except Aqua and Kana (and us, the readers). Miyako's reaction was very valid because she does not know anything about that conversation. Which is why when Kana told that to the dead Aqua, Miyako's reaction wasn't angry anymore. Miyako was in tears. I honestly would have killed Aqua twice if I were Kana really so a slap is nothing compared to the emotional wreck being in their lives brought her. Kana deserves to be slapped for hurting a corpse yes I agree but Aqua deserves that slap too for thinking that him dying is the great solution to whatever problem they're trying to solve.

"Kana is useless"

And what a heartbreak that is. Kana is perservering, patiently working on all the things she want to happen and absolutely nothing went her way. Kana is a representation of someone that tried and tried patiently but everything she did just made her feel useless. She grabs every opportunity, creates opportunity for herself but she is never enough. If killing one's self was a contest, I'd definitely compete Arima Kana as candidate. I would even forgive her if she just goes feral all of a sudden with all of the things that happened to her. She's useless, you say, but was that her fault?

"Kana does not deserve to be happy"

and why not? I say everyone in Oshi no Ko deserves to be happy. So why deny that to Kana?

But really. Why is she getting so much hate?

   Miyu cut through the water with power. Her form was immaculate. Every muscle expertly controlled, her hair pulled back and her face strapped with goggles. She had practiced and practiced and practice and it was all for this. The High School championships, scholarship on the line and who knows where it would take her after this.

   She swam the best free style of her life and touched the tiles at the other end of the olympic-sized pool. The water was cold but Miyu was warm, blood pumping and a smile split across her face.

   First place. A record time. And the crowd went wild.

   Thunderous applause. Confetti burst open and the flutters of see-through paper scattered down over the water like blossoms in spring. People cheered and the ordinance it became roared in Miyu’s ears - and her imagination.

   The championship was… tomorrow.

   She was just getting in the last possible practice of all that Miyu had already done with an audience of one: Aqua.

   “Brava, brava, well done, Miyu!” Aqua cheered for her from the grandstands.

   Her tiny voice, lone in the hallowed and empty indoor pool, hardly filled it and yet, made Miyu’s heart grow another size. Her body was drenched in adrenaline, her chest heaved and her heart pounded. She pulled herself up onto the side of the pool, splashing in the process.

   Aqua could only, and freely, cheer Miyu on like this right now. Tomorrow, she had been hidden away as though she didn’t even exist - even though she was, easily and by far, Miyu’s biggest supporter.

   “Swim exactly like that tomorrow and you will definitely take that grand prize.” Aqua encouraged her.

   “Thanks.” Miyu replied, bittersweet.

   She wasn’t exactly sure of how she felt right now.

   Sure, if she did exactly as she was told, repeating exactly what she did in the pool just now, Miyu would definitely leave her rivals and fellow competitors in the kiddy pool. The thought of that was exhilarating but the problem was, she was dampened by Aqua’s presence - or maybe expected lack thereof.

   It was kind of a long story but between now and tomorrow, there was plenty of time for cold feet and navel gazing.

   When Miyu was first reunited with the freshly resurrected Aqua, it had been a lot to take in. She wasn’t known as the brightest when it came to academics but when it came to sports and the arts, Miyu was the best of the best. So, she didn’t really get science-y things like this. Artificial intelligence with free will. Ethics and philosophy.

   She just knew what she knew.

   She had been kidnapped as a child and tortured. That was the end of it. She did what she could to survive: relying on memories of her beloved best friend, determined to apologise and set the truth free. Anything else was more adult than what she was capable of understanding as a six-year-old.

   And same for being a sixteen-year-old, apparently. Her mind whirled at the thought as she was reintroduced to Aoi and from her, learned quite the tale about why she had been kidnapped and what had happened afterwards. She did her best to block out things like duelling so it was quite the shock to learn that her childhood trauma had flow on effects like the Another Incident, the Tower Hanoi, and the Neuron Network.

   Wow. Just wow.

   But Miyu was given time to process but then she heard it. Aqua was called the Water Ignis and that didn’t bode well for Miyu. It made her stomach turn because water…

   Water was her thing.

   Miyu wasn’t super into astrology or anything but she very proudly wore the badge of being the fish: Pisces. She shared hydro homie memes online. She had never been big on drinking milk or even soda, either. She was a water girlie in her big, bulky water bottle that she took, religiously, to her favourite sport: swimming.

   Swimming gave her something. A here and now where she could only think about breathing. Nothing else. Not the horrors of being electrocuted or the terrors of being starved. The here and now: the cool water that enveloped her, the sound of the beach and the fun it represented. Swimming was her thing but now…

   Was it all predestined, or was it just a coincidence?

   Miyu couldn’t tell and that uncertainty gave way to fate and questioned all the therapy she had gone through. The way she had earned praise as a child for finding methods of resilience and enjoying her hobbies and finding success after her trauma and its ramifications. Now… Looking into Aqua’s face, the pale blue mixed with navy markings, was it all for Aqua? That it wasn’t random, that it was always going to be her who suffered…

   That was a lot to ask for when Miyu was a bit of an idiot. Emotional and bratty and competitive as all hell. The way she was looked at with suspicion because of her scars as she stood in her sleek one-piece, up there on the winner’s podium, basking in her triumph in the race.

   It took some getting used to, is all.

   Miyu did, of course, get used to it. Knowing the reason why she had been taken as a child, what her torture was meant to amount for, and how lovely an “Ignis” Aqua was at all despite such a start to life. She had a true soul, and soothing voice and soon enough, they were thick as thieves. In the end Aqua was dear to her but those origins still lingered in the back of her mind. 

   Even now. Though it was probably her nerves regarding tomorrow - and Aqua picked up on that.

   Her gaze turned sympathetic, “Is everything alright?”

   Miyu shrugged. It will be… She hoped it will be, anyway. She sucked in a deep breath and in the blink of her eye, Aqua shifted.

   She turned from her little blue form as big as a fairy to something far larger and far toothier. Aqua opened her eyes and her maw, her tentacles unfurled and her tail spooled from out of the Duel Disc that she made her home in.

   “Can I give you a hug?” Aqua asked.

   “Of course you can.” Miyu laughed.

   Despite the damper on her mood, Miyu cheered up like she normally did. Especially with a cuddle from Aqua. Miyu hugged her back, tight as tight could be around Aqua’s equivalent of a waist, in between the long slots of her arms. Miyu rubbed her face into Aqua’s markings on her chest, she rested her head on Miyu’s shoulder. Miyu sighed contentedly. Aqua was cool to the touch, rubbery and soft like a pool toy. Perfect for… dragging her into the water.

   Miyu gave Aqua a big hug and playfully took her into the water. Aqua squeaked and squealed as Miyu walked backwards and into the pool. The water splashed up around them and the surface hit Miyu’s back hard but she didn’t care because once she was sunken into the water, it was her world.

   Her and Aqua’s world.

   If she had to be allotted an attribute, at the end of the day, Miyu was happy that it was water. Whether it was on purpose or as a fluke, whether it was something bigger than her or just a quirk of paperwork, Miyu really was blessed to have the Water Ignis as her dearest partner and companion. 

   Those dark clouds in Miyu’s mind began to dissipate. They got lost in the shadows and reflections of the water. Everything always felt different and new at the bottom of a swimming pool, Miyu could feel her heart let go of everything that was weighing her down and Aqua sensed the relief. She rubbed her head against Miyu’s face amid their embrace underneath the meniscus of the water.

   They floated to the top together. Aqua was too buoyant to be held underneath the water for too long and Miyu needed to breathe, anyway. 

   “I’m really happy to have you, Aqua.” Miyu told her. 

   “I’m glad.” Aqua murmured.

   “I’m also gonna get that first place tomorrow.” Miyu said.

   Aqua laughed, “I know you will. Go get ‘em, Miyu.”

politely knocking on your door

you should talk about fan NPD. that would be awesome

anon you have no idea how unbelievably joyous this makes me. like actually. i’m going crazy.

i’ve really wanted to for a while, but hearing praise for it absolutely gave me the push i needed to commit. the main issue i’ve always had with writing an essay on fan being a pwnpd is that he (funnily enough) displays so many symptoms that they’re frankly hard to compile. but this absolutely gave me the boost i needed, expect an essay soon! 🫡🫡

[kingarmorking]

hey @tharkflark1 it seems like im just making it a challenge of making every installment of this longer than the last

[voidcat]

going thru my other blog to rmr my tagging system there then rereading some of my old stuff.. like god the prose sure is awful but idea wise i think i waslowkey cooking there

[kh-yumio]

There's a bunch of stuff I wanna do for the Dreaming Memories AU but I just can't find the right moment to sit down and work on it orz

[pen-observing]

Every april I try to use these specific account' prompts to do a writing challenge. Last year i only did 10..however, I find them very inspiring. I write them in a notebook but considering how I haven't been writing fanfics for such a long time - maybe I should share a few here?

If you would like to try to challenge yourself - here is a link to the instagram post.

Week recap 13th April to 19th April

This week went well. I did feel a bit tired out because the bus I usually use to get to college won't come for a while because of some road work

So I get exhausted from walking a lot (yes I'm that type of artist)

Also, I finally managed to make up a schedule for posting art on social media, which will be three times a week, excluding weekends, which I hope won't be a problem because I basically draw everyday

Also I finished the first draft of nwnm's outline and a new update for reflame will be out in Monday! Yippie!!!

[aqua-phantasy]

I planned on making a gothic retelling series about different characters like Frankenstein and Dorian Gray being Hollywood celebrities/workers and OH MAN DID NETFLIX GIVE ME SOME INSPO FOR IT/s

[aquafantasia]

Considering that google docs is now going to use your docs to generate ai content, does anyone know any good free writing software that isn’t word or it.

I heard scrivener is good but I’m not in the financial situation to get something like it

[ghostiegram]

[frankenjoly]

I finally figured out what’s mine

spotify wrapped writing challenge: aquamyrtle + 28

breaking inside (shinedown)

Don't tell me I'm the last one in line

Don't tell me I'm too late this time

Apologizing was a feature deeply ingrained inside Aqua, so much she used to say it almost in auto-pilot at every minimum inconvenience she might cause. But… of course, that didn’t mean it was as easy in practice as it could look like in theory. Less when the apology she owed right then was about a big issue, and with someone she loved no less.

“I’m sorry.” Taking a deep breath, she started out, facing her girlfriend with eyes full of worry and regret. “You were right, those terms are terrible, and I was pretty much overlooking it just ‘cause that’s one of my favorite devs. So I’m saying no.”

Myrtle had all the right to tell her ‘told ya’, but didn’t. Instead, as if such a topic had been the spark of heated arguments for quite some time, she made a hand gesture seemingly indicating it was alright. Because it could be, at least between them.

“And I’m sorry too, ‘kay? I should’ve focused more on how worried I was about you and not just the fact that those terms were shit.” She then extended that same hand towards Aqua, which she instantly took.

It was only a matter of seconds till they had their fingers locked together, and soon after both were fusing in a hug, latching onto the other with their respective free arms.

They were, definitely, going to be okay.
