One lyric from every TTPD song, for @itspileofgoodthings:

Fortnight: I love you, it's ruining my life

The Tortured Poets Department: I chose this cyclone with you

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys: He saw forever, so he smashed it up

Down Bad: 'Cause fuck it, I was in love

So Long, London: And I'm pissed of you let me give you all that youth for free

But Daddy I Love Him: And no, you can't come to the wedding

Fresh Out the Slammer: Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake here

Florida!!!: And in my mind, they sink into the swamp

Guilty as Sin: Am I allowed to cry?

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?: I am what I am 'cause you trained me

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): Woah, maybe I can't

loml: It was unnecessary

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart: He said he'd love me all his life

The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: Was any of it true?

The Alchemy: Where's the trophy? He just comes runnin' over to me.

Clara Bow: You look like Taylor Swift

It's crazy just how many of these bastards I have published under my own names and yet wouldn't recommend someone read with a gun to my head lol. Also I went with six so I could include one from my SourFacedLemon account:

i. hold it in your mouth for a minute (real hunger has a real taste) (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Glitch/Savage Opress, Explicit)

From the inaugural year of Smut Wars, this actually holds up pretty decently. Takes place vaguely within the Season 5 Crime Lords arc because that must have taken months to accomplish and the visual of Savage and Maul desperately trying to get along with Death Watch for that long amuses me. Included some thoughts about Nightbrothers and clones that I don't usually get to explore since Maul isn't, you know, culturally a Nightbrother. Also I reject the cultural obsession with dick size, I hate it, Savage is the embodiment of "small, leave me alone" and I'll die on that hill. Also also, Glitch is here! He's sweet! He's Force-sensitive! The narrative is in love with him and wants him to live and thrive! It's me, I'm the narrative!

ii. self/less (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maulsoka, Teen)

Older, and imperfect, but I had a good time with it. This fic has everything: the unhinged Maul-Ahsoka team-up that a Star Wars What If series should explore, Maul being traumatized and terrified and not hiding it well, genderfuckery, two forms of mind-control, the Son and the Daughter escaping Mortis because what do you mean they're just dead now??, Jesse surviving... Short and sweet and well beyond my writing skills to fully flesh out, but I genuinely think there's a decent premise buried in there.

iii. a beast within you (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maulrex, Explicit)

Also notably imperfect, but another 2023 Smut Wars gift and I spent so much time trying to research octopi and tentacles without actually consuming any tentacle porn, and I want that effort acknowledged. It's a vague Percy Jackson fusion AU, if that's any more enticing. And if you get to the end there's links to some beautiful fucking fanart someone (@omaano) made of it!

iv. pretty (handy with that iron) (Jak and Daxter, Jak/Jinx, Teen)

Transmasculine!Jak who not only has terrible taste in men (Jinx) but also has a vaguely-emasculating-pet-names-induced gender crisis during the sewers escort mission and Daxter doesn't get to rest for a single second. Idk I was feeling silly with this one. It was fun to write and I actually don't regret it lol.

v. all restraint and poised bones (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maulakin, Teen)

I just love a confused Maul POV in general and also an outsider POV on time travel. It's just so much fun for me personally. Also I know it's because that's the way the timeline shakes out but the fact that Anakin missed meeting Maul and all that that entails by like two hours is as ridiculous to me as the Grievous thing; their unhinged chaotic goblin energies would have bounced off each other and created a feedback loop that would give Sidious a heart attack, so I understand why it never happened. But still.

bonus vi (and vii and viii). The Expansion of Clan Mudhorn (The Mandalorian, Djarin/Leia/Boba, Teen)

I have written non-TCW, non-Maul related Star Wars fics, as difficult as it is to believe. These ones are also silly, and strangely fluffy compared to most of my other content, but it was 2021! Mando S2 had just ended, we had canonical Tem-as-Boba-Fett and were all so excited and optimistic, it was a different time! Honestly my only regret is that I haven't thought until just now to go back and edit them to fix Djarin's name. Everyone is surnaming this poor man who misses his baby so, so much, you guys, that's tragic lmao.

No pressure tagging @hawthornsword @hjbender @darthlivion @mandalorianbrainweasel @inqorporeal and anyone who sees this and wants to play!

i love analog horror, i love when something from the decades before i was even born has a Dark Spooky Twist, i love when the audio jumps and stutters and stops right when something spooky happens, i love when something moves that isn't supposed to move and then the footage cuts off, i love when an innocent thing is somehow now a malevolent force, i love it!

fav lana headcanons?

she's close to the girls that she worked with at the spa and considers some of them to be her sisters. post-series she helps them apply for t-visas and covers any legal expenses that they can't afford. they may go a while without seeing each other, but she will always have their backs and vice versa.

she is also very close with her family and tries to keep in touch with them as much as possible. when yevgeny starts to talk she has him join her on calls so that she can introduce him to his relatives. eventually she's able to cover the travel costs for her mother and grandmother and they stay with her for a couple of weeks, reconnecting with her and getting to know their grandson/great-greandson.

she reads in english as much as she can so that she can improve, because she still struggles with spelling and grammar. she prefers nonfiction, particularly historical nonfiction, and always reads the business section of the newspaper. she also makes sure to read in russian so that she doesn't lose it and keeps up with current events in order to stay informed of what her family might be going through.

she started saving up money for college for yevgeny when she was working at the alibi because it's important to her that he have the education that she never did. there is nothing svetlana wants more than for yevgeny to have a better life than her, and she will do anything she can to provide him with opportunities that can help make that possible.

she doesn't like to be idle, so she keeps busy even when there's no longer a need for her to work. she's also not an indulgent or materialistic person by nature, so the money that she doesn't save up or invest mostly gets spent either on yevgeny or on her family and friends. when she does spend money on herself, it's usually on something she considers useful like a new pair of glasses or therapy. but eventually she learns that its okay to be a little frivolous with your expenditures every now and then.

favourite show/movie?

my favorite movie is clue (1985) 🥰 it was one of my mother's favorite childhood movies and now it's mine as well! it features Tim Curry doing what Tim Curry does best, and an intriguing mystery :D

I don't really watch much tv but I highly recommend watching the good place (2016) :p it only has 4 seasons but it ended on its own terms, which was part of what made it so good :) it was a show about ethics, and what it means to be a good person in today's fucked up world.

thanks for asking, anon!
