Yes I’m still working on my Robin Hood mechanisms album!! Here’s my first draft of the narration ‘The Silver Arrow’ where a competition is created, attended, and Robin’s ruse is discovered. (I’m pretty sure I haven’t posted this one to tumblr yet? Also, does it feel too rushed? I didn’t really want to split it into a narration, then song, then another narration)
The Prince, of course, was furious that all the gold had been successfully stolen from under his nose. Most of the servants and staff in his employ had taken their leave of the castle, as the Prince’s rage was well-known. The Sheriff was the only one who dared stay with him in his anger.
THE PRINCE: THAT DAMNED LITTLE THIEF!
THE SHERIFF: Please calm down, your majesty—
THE PRINCE: Oh, shut up, Phillip.
THE SHERIFF: Sorry.
THE PRINCE: That dirty bandit! Oh, if I could only be rid of her—
THE SHERIFF: Your majesty, if I may suggest…
THE PRINCE: What is it?
THE SHERIFF: Well, you see, if we were to lay a trap— being Robin Hood to us, willingly, on our own terms…
THE PRINCE: Makers above, Phillip, you may be right!
THE SHERIFF: Thank you, your majesty.
THE PRINCE: If I made her an offer she couldn’t refuse…
And so the Prince and the Sheriff devised a plan, a foolproof plan where Robin Hood would play right into their hands. They would organize a competition and invite every archer in Nottingham to participate in an archery contest.
Five targets, to be hit at various distances, the last one nearly impossible unless one’s skills were legendary.
And Robin, forever victim of her own pride, was quick to jump at the opportunity. Friar Tuck and even Marian tried to discourage her of it, but she swore she wouldn’t back down from a challenge, donned a disguise, promised her lover she’d be back soon, and left.
[The sound of an arrow hitting its target, five times in succession.]
Of course she was discovered. No one else could hit so many targets, from such a distance, with such accuracy.
Of course her pride would be her downfall.

✨FANFIC ASK GAME✨
Hey guys!! I love doing ask games and love seeing other authors in the fandom do them, and I had the sudden urge today to make one. I remember one went around a while ago that was unique because it was a chance for readers to tell writers what they think of their fics, rather than asking questions. Maybe this is super self indulgent and vain, but I think we have a really supportive and lovely little fandom and I thought it would be nice for any writers who are interested to get the chance to hear from readers! So here it is, reblog to your heart's content for people to send to you and feel free send me any asks 🥰❤️
1) My favourite fic of yours is X
2) Your funniest fic is X
3) Your saddest fic is X
4) Your hottest fic is X
5) The fic that I had the strongest emotional reaction to is X
6) The fic that I'm most invested in is X
7) Something I didn't think I would enjoy as much as I did is… (Can be an entire fic or something more specific)
8) This line/scene really stuck with me…
9) X makes me think of you
10) When I think of you I think of X
11) I love your writing because…
12) My favourite thing about your writing is…
13) You made me like/interested in/notice X
14) My favourite version of X (ship) that you've written is in X (fic)
15) I can't wait for you to update X
16) I think X (fic) is underrated

not an artist myself, but i just gotta say i really agree with solki -- you give really detailed comments (in the tags hehe) about what you love about the art, what you found amazing, and all that.
it takes a great artist too to be able to pinpoint exactly what parts they love about an artwork. (i for one, don't have a great eye for that)
you're doing god's work by providing so much encouragement to everyone <33 (i'm not even an artist, but the stuff you comment also on the stuff i take time to make are so <3) (and seeing you do it for lookism artist makes me happy, such a warm & positive response makes way for more art for us!)
looking forward to seeing more of your art in the future so we can give appreciation to it too. love u. :-)
jann im speechless 😭😭😭😭 this is so sweet and ever part of this means so much to me + the fact that u took the time to type all of this out and send it T_T 💖💖💖
its such high praise thank u so much !!! 💓💕💞💕💘💓💘💖💕💖💕💕
love u too and i hope ur having a great day/night 💖
(not to be a cheesy ass bitch but a lot of what i do stems from my own experience; i know what its like to made fun of for expressing joy/talking a lot about something and that shit hurts so i never want anyone to experience that,,
thats why i love giving compliments and encouragement bc happy ppl make me happy and i think its cute when people get excited about what they love :] cringe culture is dead, be free!!! and always rmbr kindness makes the world go around!!!!!!)

A message to you who leaves kudos on fanfictions: THANK YOU <3
When I receive my daily AO3 email featuring the recap of the kudos I earned over the past 24 hours, I am always over the moon to see likes on old works, on long stories, on recent ones, on cute ones and / or on a random little fic I am particularly attached to for multiple reasons although it’s not my best or not my most detailed project. It makes me happy to realize someone discovered this story, this one and this one too, and loved them.
It makes me happy to see people who enjoy what I do.
It also always cheers me up to see someone’s name repeated on a few or a dozen fics of mine.
Either because you read a series and left kudos like a trail all the way, or because you read stories with similar tags / a similiar ambiance since you appreciated that style and that pairing, or when you simply read a bunch of fics made by the same author because you like what they do.
What you do is super important. It makes a writer happy, it makes their day and it shows that, even though you don’t comment (either because that’s not your thing or you don’t know what to say), you still read and get involved enough to give us love <3.
Same goes whether or not you have an account! I am just as delighted when I see on my email “A guest left kudos on XXXX” as when it’s the name of someone in the Archive. We know, when we see a long list of fics to which one guest left kudos every time. When these are fics with a common factor and when it includes old works, we know it’s the same person, and we instantly love that person.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for leaving love behind you before you quit and move to another story. This love is received, this love is saved, this love is much appreciated <3
I send you much-deserved warm feelings and love in return!! You’re the best <3 <3 <3 <3

i’m taking a really cool class about happiness as a sociological concept and the professor always gives me positive feedback on my ability to connect broader ideas and others’ insights to my own personal experiences. it feels weird being praised for that, bc my first instinct is to dislike the way i ‘make everything about me’, so it’s been kinda cool (for lack of a better word) to have this person who i respect and look up to articulate that actually hey, it’s a sign of deep understanding that you’re able to concentrate abstract shit and shit unrelated to you into concrete examples relevant to your life.
honestly it feels icky typing out now!!! like how dare i have the ego to believe that making shit about myself is a sign of mature thought. i wonder how that instinct became so powerful in me, what influenced me to feel this way. (and honestly i still don’t know if i’m convinced that it isn’t a sign of immaturity and lack of compassion that i’m defining my ability to connect with concepts by my ability to personally relate them back to myself! isn’t that selfish? idk!)
anyways yeah it’s strange! but i’m really enjoying the class
