Hello!

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

Did some thinking and honestly? The works in my series going through Darius and Eber's grief. (Just barely in second place being Hanahaki Darius and Metal Sonic stuff). I reread parts of it when you commented and yeah. I am still proud I wrote that and finished it. Definitely not my most popular (even in my TOH works) but wow.

*pats self on back.* All my stuff is things I wanna see and that should be the warning symbol people get reading my stuff because yes. I am going to be extremely self indulgent. Moving on.

7. If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most?

Okay now this is tricky. I don't really follow any single artist as much as I find an animatic/cover and put whatever character is in that situation.

(The original title idea for Darius' Hanahaki is actually from Hamilton? Don't know what that says about me as a person but the lyrics 'love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep loving anyway' really felt Darius coded to me. And that's all the songs I pull from honestly. How character coded is this song to this charcater.)

12. How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

Considering how life will absolutely not let me finish anything before basically Christmas, active WIPS is about...

six? And that's ignoring all my insane ones I started just to get an idea out of my system.

28. Favorite work you wrote this year?

Hard one. I think at this very second, my gift fic for TrishaCollins 'ill be waiting till i see you again' and 'Cover Your Face and Turn a Blind Eye; You Never Cared for the Truth' but honestly it changes depending on what I haven't read lately and what I'm itching for. They are all self indulgent hell.

(Selective Mute Eber comes in second.)

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

Any of the snippets I posted here are examples of something I adored. But.

It wasn’t fair, none of this was fair. 

“It wasn’t,” Plagg quietly agreed and Nooroo leaned harder into him, because he was still too afraid of touching him directly but wanted to eat all the comfort Plagg was radiating, lick up all his worried love. “But we’re here now. You don’t have to hurt alone Nooroo. We’re your big siblings. Let us help you.” 

Nooroo just cried, his head hurting as he leaned into Plagg hard enough that he could feel Plagg’s reserve, felt the roaring ocean that made up Plagg’s, his eldest brother's power. 

And he felt safe.

(Definitely not my strongest by any means. But dude, I had been building up to this moment in the fic for months at this point, so when I think of favourite I just think of this, because I had finally reached a point I had been so so excited for.)
