i loved your chris bf hcs! could you please do one for matt? thank you and i hope you’re having a good day :)

boyfriend headcanons • matt sturniolo

a/n: thank you so much ily!! hope you enjoy thiss🫶

warnings: none

- you can’t convince me that matt wouldn’t be the type of bf who accidentally ignores you in public/groups of friends. he doesn’t mean to but he’s so awkward and doesn’t like pda much so when he tries to avoid it he avoids you altogether. it used to hurt your feelings but after talking to him he reassured you that he’s just a dumbass.

- he makes up for being distant in public when you guys are alone tho. he lovesss having you in his arms hugging his slutty waist, while he strokes your hair and kisses your head/cheeks occasionally. he’s def the big spoon most of the time.

- his love language is physical touch and acts of service, so he’ll often want to drive you to run errands together (grocery shopping, ikea visits, etc.) it makes him feel like you’re a married couple which kind of sums up your relationship with him.

- he’s also the designated bug killer, bob the builder ass bf. you got new furniture that needs to be built? he’s doing it no question. you broke something and need it fixed? he’s on it. he almost babies you honestly and he loves it but when you take it too far and act too spoiled he’ll be like alright wrap it up.

- he’s kind of moody sometimes for no reason like you’ll be making jokes or annoying him for fun and he’s just “not having it” when in reality he can’t get enough of your attention, he’ll pretend to be annoyed and keep rolling his eyes but he can’t wipe the goofy ass smile off his face.

- BABY FEVER!! every time he seems a cute baby out in public or on tiktok he turns into the biggest softy, “babe look oh my goddd they’re so cute i want one.” *hears the baby laughing* “nvm i want ten.”

- perks of dating someone with a car (ns to chris and nick! full shade actually) is you get to go on a lot of late night cruises with the top down, blasting your fav music, him using his free hand to switch between holding yours and placing it on your thigh. plus you get some privacy to….be risky! if ykwim

- matt loves when you take an interest in something he loves eg. pokemon, certain artists he listens to, cabin life, etc. he gets so excited and giddy and he’ll want to tell you everything he knows about these things. and he does the same for you but he gets embarrassed and defensive if you point it out so you just silently appreciate it.

- ^ you once caught him reading one of your favorite books simply because he wanted to talk to you about it and seeing you get all excited and passionate while talking about it.

- he’s definitely a soft launch type of guy. always posting pics where you just barely show. the back of your head, or your nails in the corner of the pic, your shoes etc. i can’t imagine him fully posting up with his gf on instagram or tiktok but maybe if it’s been a few years he’d do it for anniversaries and it’ll be like aesthetic ass pinterest vibes photos.

- matt would always be taking candid photos/videos of you and saves them in an album that’s full of just you. 90% of his screen time is his camera roll just bc he’s always looking and admiring the pics he took of you, he’s obsessed fr.

- after a while i feel like matt would start to show his silly/goofy side a lot more with you. he would so be the type to chase you around trying to tickle you- he just loves hearing your laugh. it usually ends with him pinning you down with one hand and tickling you with the other until you’re almost out of breath then he’ll stop and kiss you to make up for it.

- he’ll be more talkative with you than with his brothers sometimes since you don’t interrupt. he’s always rambling about whatever’s on his mind and apologies after like pookie you’re good talk more!!

- he’s a bit indecisive in general like where to eat, date ideas and stuff but he tries because he knows you like when he’s ‘assertive’. idk how to explain this but he acts like the stereotypical “man provides” but in a non toxic/non misogynistic way.

requiem masterlist

“will you still love me when i’ve got nothing but my aching soul?

i know you will.”

summary:

according to coriolanus snow, his best friend had the most beautiful voice in all of panem. she had been training her whole life constantly to get where she was; being up for a residency at the most elite opera house in all of panem. singing was her passion. her true love; and when that got stripped from her in a second, his world became a whole lot quieter. he loathed every minute of it.

based on this request

tags/warnings:

opera singer!mentor!reader (blink and you'll miss it), she's kind of a prodigy!! p cool imo, mute!reader, bestfriend!coryo, friends to lovers trope ooo, mentions of graphic violence early on (particularly the prologue) but after that it's pretty safe, depictions of ptsd/trauma, mental illness and minor suicidal ideation but at least she's not entirely alone, descriptions of minor medical treatments and use of medication.

authors note: i can hear you already- “omg raye, another coryo series? are you crazy?” yes. yes i am. anyway welcome back! third times the charm (not that the first two aren’t a massive success for me) but now for REAL i’m completely departing from the plot of tbosas and doing something totally new. thank you so much to @puredreamagination for sending in the request that inspired this whole thing! i can’t wait to get into this one :). it won’t be as long as the last two probably, but still i think this will be fun as a kind of mini series!

important disclaimer!: okay so let me make something clear from the beginning bc the playlist for this is already flowing- in this au their idea of “opera” music is slightly skewed. the main idea is that it’s old, and takes a very powerful and talented singer to do it justice. aka, if you see adele or celine dion on the playlist or mentioned in the fic, don’t come at me hahaha i know that’s not technically “opera” music but i thought it would be so fun to include. those are just some songs that i think survived the test of time and r would absolutely eat up.

transparent? placements pt2

hellouuu🥰

as requested, part 2 🌝 hope you like it!!🫶🏼❤️

Picture from Pinterest.

*Birth chart placements

Mars 8H

These ones don’t support the superficial, they can’t take it. They’re perseverant. They’re passionate. Don’t underestimate them, they have A LOT of power and inner strength. They don’t like it. When you’re acting, when you judge or you’re not speaking your mind, they just don’t like it. They hate it. They’re just them, you can’t ignore them, they can’t be ignored. They’re something else. Their self is full of confidence. My friend that have this placement DONT FUCK with people that says something and does another. HE CANT -stand them-. What he admires is honesty and free spirit non-judgmental people, bc this makes them be open to new experiences that could make them become or figure out their potential, passions and desires; what determines them and live without a fucking “what other people think/care” mindset. Also, this is what mars 8H struggles somehow the most. -That’s why?-They admire when they see someone that has become in tune with their potential. So yes, they’re transparent in a way they can’t stand with the ones they’re not.

Scorpio + Earth placements

All the fucking time I’ve met someone with these placements, they always makes it clear when they like a person or don’t. Water (pisces -not too much but yes- and cancer) + earth placement will hesitate and act like they do care about the person to not hurt their feelings, bc of empathy and whatever. HA. Earth placements + scorpio is completely opposite. They’re honest and direct, based on the perspective I have by being friends with them or their daughter🙄. They’ll tell you “I don’t like her”, “she hides something”, “a little weird, I see”. They be having INTUITION, but a intuition that frightens if it doesn’t benefits you and that reliefs if you’re by their side. They can see you. They can tell, what you hide. If you’re good or bad by their terms and morals, if you’re lying or if you want to. It could be that they get carried away by the relationship they have with their loved ones, the love and care they have for them that blinds them to not believe or to not listen to their intuition. But when the emotional is not persistent -when they don’t have a close relationship with you-, the rational side (earth) balance the emotional side (scorpio) to use their intuition to add arguments in their conclusion that’s made with evidence. Still, they always end up knowing. They’re transparent by making it clear if they like you or not, if you hide something or not and I can keep going.

(Example of a chart: scorpio moon, taurus ascendant with taurus degree, capricorn venus with scorpio degree, capricorn chiron, taurus lilith and etc.) (b chart: scorpio sun, moon and venus, neptune, Capricorn rising, virgo mars and etc.)

Lilith trine Moon

Such an interesting aspect. They can reveal what they truly feel without feeling shame, without a barrier. They feel comfortable talking about taboos, that not only mean sex, taboos for me also can mean to show your emotions, embracing them, let yourself feel. Like a river if you’ll like a metaphor. And in the right moment they show them -I’d they believe-. You can clearly see lilith trine moon has A LOT of introspection bc of pure desire of analyzing others🤪. They need it. They could be pretty obvious when they love someone, when they want to protect them. There’s full passion and determination that motivates them. They accept that not everything is logical and they let themselves be. Yet, they have to overcome their superficial feelings to enter that aspect and shi 😚

Sagittarius EVERYTHING

pass this part if you don’t want to read too much

I have to recall and specify -not everyone will agree- placements: Mercury and Venus. In my experience those are the ones that are TRANSPARENT -planets that are in big 6 and I’m only referring to signs and not houses (9H) and also not degrees (9° and 21°) but they count ALOT. I haven’t checked if I have known someone with sag rising but I have with sag moon and it scares me HAKDBSJD. clarifying☝️ they get bored easily and they can do something out of nowhere that you didn’t expect and that’s not kind of appropriate or can be uncomfortable. THIS WAS MY EXPERIENCE WITH 1 PERSON so don’t base yourself on it pls ty.

Obviously. wtf. these series weren’t going anywhere without the mention of Sagittarius. They think it, they say it. They don’t need to think about it, they don’t do it, THEY SPILL IT. Without a filter, without care until a moment later they be thinking if they were too rude, depending on the moon and etc. BUT WTF HAHA. For the weird and complexed ones, they can seem weird. The truth is that they’re jealous of the free spirit, soul and mind they have in front of them. They say it, you wanting it or not, they feel the need to. They’re the kid/sibling that haunts you bc they know too much and they can say something random that have to do with the secret you’ve told them. I’m not saying they can’t keep secrets, but they can speak without thinking. Even tho that, they speak their mind with help of their knowledge. They fucking know something and they say it. They are a little bit of a headache, they presume and talk and you want to cut their tongue. sometimes 🥰

[hvllowheart]

hi! regarding your last post about abandoning projects, do you have any advice for overcoming that?

I do!

1. Write something you're passionate about.

Now, I get that everyone constantly says that, and you'll think, "that tells me absolutely nothing" bc passion can only get you so far and usually fluctuates a lot. It's something I've started to realize happens to me. One day I wake up and have a new idea I love and think "wow this is gonna be a piece of cake to finish" despite me knowing it's going to entail a lot of planning and once I get the inital idea out of the way and get to that planning stage my attention for the project... dies.

What I mean with that is to write something you're passionate about is that you shouldn't write something into the project you feel like others will like. Or if it's a project with tropes in it, that you have to follow those to the T.

If an idea is boring, don't write it.

If you have a cool idea that might not fit the vibe entirely, write it down. Keep it in mind for later when it could fit the vibe better.

Incorporate as many things you love as you like and then worry about how the broader plot can shape around them.

2. Don't write in order of what's supposed to happen.

I know it'll make you feel better to feel like you have a clear point A to B but truth is, some parts are going to be extremely boring to write. You won't want to write all about the logistics of a scene happening right that moment or the spicy dialogue that carries the scene bc you're way more focused on another detail that drew you to write a particular scene.

In those cases, I usually just put whatever is supposed to happen in brackets [insert car chase here] and move on the bits I'm excited to get to. You might wake up a couple of days later thinking you want to revisit that car chase scene and write it all in one go now that you've stopped obsessing over a different scene you cared for before.

3. Make the experience more fun for yourself.

If you feel like you're burning out and losing steam from writing and planning the project, take a step back and do something else.

If I still feel like doing something with the project that isn't necessarily write it, I tend to end up making edits or a playlist or looking for inspiration pictures that might give me an idea of a new setting or what a character will look like. And that's what usually keeps my brain working and thinking about the plot.

As soon as another idea pops into my head bc of the space I took not writing the projects itself, I write it down and get reinspired to work on it.

4. Look for inspiration.

As mentioned in 3., I can't recommend enough to look for inspiration in pictures or boards on pinterest or a song or a quote you really love. Trust me, seeing a cool picture or reading a quote that immediately makes you think of a specific character makes you itch to get back to writing.

It also allows your writing to grow when you take the time to look for inspiration. Writing everything in one go might make you feel productive but the quality could potentially decline the longer you're at it and when you come back to it you'll ask yourself what the hell you were on writing some of the stuff. So taking that time, finding new locations/side characters/some dialogue snippets you could incorporate, will make you feel excited to actually see those ideas and inspirations become part of your project.

5. Take breaks.

This is another one of those things you always hear and think, "that's what leads me to abandon it in the first place??" and while I agree (been there) It's also important not to get burned out by the project.

The breaks shouldn't span entire weeks, of course, but don't beat yourself up when you can't get to the project for a couple of days bc of life happening or something else being more interesting.

Taking those breaks ensures you not only build anticipation, but it also let's the project breathe and allows you the space, to again, think of the broader plot or a specific scene that could be cool to incorporate.

6. Find someone to talk about the project with.

In our day and age, we're lucky to have such big writer communities. Chances are, someone out there will get aboslute brain rot from the project you're working on. Talking to people like that will not only allow you to have someone to bounce ideas off of, but it'll also keep you focused and in a way, hold you accountable to actually see it get to a point you can and want to share more.

Starting up a WIP blog, like the one I and many others have, or a writerblr blog will attract people to the idea and have them reach out to ask questions that again keep you thinking about fun parts of the project and develope the idea.

I have a friend I constantly talk to about every idea he and I get. Not all of them ever see the light of day, but we talk about them, send ideas we think could be cool, and write small snippets of scenes bc we are excited about the project. That not only gets you to a starting point, but also makes the planning way smoother and means you're getting instant feedback.

And that's what usually gets you to write more instead of watching your project collect dust in the drafts.

7. Write every single idea down.

This is also something everyone says, but it's true. Chances are, you forget the idea and kick yourself for it later or you think it won't be as good as you imagine it and then you have a missing scene you don't know what to do with where that idea could have fit.

Sometimes, usually just before bed for me, I get ideas, and since I have my phone close by, I just open the notes app, write down the snippet of a conversation I just thought of or a cool detail I'll add when I get back to the file and BOOM I have the next plot point figured out without actively forcing myself to sit in front of the computer and thinking "what is supposed to happen now??"

Even if the idea is silly or seems wack, I can't recommend writing it down enough. You'll thank yourself for it and in a way train yourself into passively thinking about what could happen next.

I have a dedicated page in my files just for random ideas I got in the middle of the night and while some will not make it into the draft itself, it's still fun to think about them or even write a short scene involving the idea just to see where it goes. Maybe it'll inspire you to take your project into a new exciting direction, too!

8. Don't obsess over word counts/progress made.

It's a recent shift I've noticed, where people obsessively focus on how long a scene/chapter is. Like one being 5k long means it's somehow better than a scene that's only a couple hundred words long, but concise and has the kind of structure that keeps you engaged.

If you feel like a scene is done and you're happy with it, even if it's short, leave it. Maybe you'll come back to it and add more, but maybe you'll realize it's perfect the way it is and doesn't need unnecessary details added.

9. Don't get lost in the details.

This is something I've neen prone to do. Obsessing over a single detail or scene to the point that working on it becomes exhausting because I couldn't move on.

It's what kills your drive to write on the project fairly quickly and relates to the point I made to just put whatever is supposed to happen in brackets to revisit later.

The details are usually what make the story feel personalized, but it's also so easy to get lost in them. Writing the broader scene down and revisiting it sometime later to add those details is going to keep you writing and engaged with what you want to make the project into.

10. It's YOUR project, don't forget that.

Sometimes I've started things I thought were fics or stories I'd love to explore only to realize I'm not the best writer for those or that the writing part just isn't as fun as I hoped it could be.

You need to be aware of when to cut your losses. If the project starts to feel more like a drag than what you initially started with, scrap it OR, and this is something I've started to seriously do, is to rewrite/re-plot it from the beginning.

It is time-consuming, but you'll feel better for it in the long run if you take the bits you like and forget the ones you don't and build the project anew. It's tedious but really rewarding once you manage to get to the parts that were there before discouraging you from finishing the project in the first place. And the most important thing is that you're happy with your project.

♡

Of course, what works for me might not work for others, but those are some of the broader things I can recommend you try :) I hope I was able to help a little!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Subject: Booking Lash Extensions (For Beginners!)

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Girls Guide #: 1

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Audience: Those who want to try Lash Extensions but don't know where to start

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Purpose: I have seen and heard such unfortunate stories about people's first lash appointments, so I wanted to create a guide for those who might be nervous or have had a bad experience. Think of this as a 'What to Watch Out For' or a 'Standards' guide from a girl who is well-versed as a client in this world!

By: The Lovers Archive

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Step 1: Finding a Lash Tech

The easiest way to find a trusted Lash Tech is by word of mouth. If you have friends in the beauty industry, ask them! Even if they aren't related to the lash industry specifically, the chances they know of some good Lash Techs are quite high. I personally found my current girl through my Nail Tech.

If you don't have friends/mutuals in the beauty industry or word of mouth just isn't feasible, here's what to do:

I search for the right Lash Tech through social media, I found my first Lash Tech on Instagram and stayed with her for a year! For me, it’s important that they have an Instagram and/or Tiktok. This shows me that they are passionate about their work and it makes me want to trust them. The content I look for are things like: lash maps, examples of their relationship with their clients (reviews, bloopers, etc.), sharing their journey, and more. It doesn't need to be videos or any crazy content, but just something.

Seeing a Lash Tech's personality through their content is very important to me and can help me determine who I would mesh with best!

Look out for Instagram Highlights like: Client Reviews (do they have only one highlight for reviews, or multiple bc there are so many?), Client Cams, Lash Retention, Policies (are they clear? Is there a policy you haven't seen on any other page? Does anything look off?)

Additionally, prices can help determine who and who not to trust. I'm in Canada and I like seeing lash prices in between $90-$110.

(Lash Techs without social media can, of course, still be trusted, but when you're trying to find one for the first time, it feels a lot more secure when you can see their work and some of their personality.)

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Step 2: Which Lash Style is Which?

I remember feeling very uncertain about the name of the style I wanted. I wanted one thing but the Lash Tech I chose didn't have that specific style listed. Typically, you see options like 'Classic', 'Light Volume', 'Half Volume', 'Full Volume', 'Mega Volume', while you might be looking at inspo pics that are called things like 'Wet Lash', 'Wispy', etc.

Now, of course you should be taking some of these inspo pics to your new Lash Tech so you're both on the same page. However, booking under the correct service is simply to allocate appropriate time for the style you're looking for.

L: Classic , R: Light Volume

L: Medium Volume, M: Full Volume, R: Mega Volume

Generally, these are the different levels of volume. To figure which one you want the most, search the different volumes on Pinterest and just scroll away. As for finding wet lash or wispy looks, search things like 'Light Volume Wet Lash Extensions' or 'Full Volume Wispy Lash Extensions'.

Once you have determined which volume level you like, select that on the booking site. Make sure to bring inspo pics to the appointment!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Step 3: The First Appointment!

The first lash extensions appointment can be both exciting and/or nerve-wracking. Because you took your time and you did you research finding a trusted Lash Technician, there is no need to worry. At all!

Here's what to expect.

Waivers:

Every Lash Technician I have seen has required me to sign some type of waiver. These things can include warnings about possible allergic reactions, the caring process of your lashes, and sometimes a consent form for photos/videos for their social media. On every single lash extensions waiver I have seen there has been a line that speaks about the risks of getting them. These include (but are not limited to) potential allergies, irritation, and blindness. In storytimes of botched lash appointments or lash appointment horror stories, I've seen comments say that a waiver including that information is a red flag, when it actually is not. This waiver is simply to protect your Lash Tech's business from people who are not looking out for their best interest. It's sucks but it's necessary. It also promotes a more informed decision when choosing whether or not to get them or come back for a fill. This is why it is important to take your time when choosing the Lash Tech that is right for you.

Eye Pads:

After the waiver you will be guided to their station. I recommend watching videos of different Lash Technicians preparation. This can help give you a glimpse into what you can expect. Typically for the first five mins they will be putting pads under your eyes, usually taping them down. Sometimes, depending on the Tech's experience, they may also include tape onto the eyelid either at the beginning or during the service to reach difficult places like the inner corner or, for fuller volume styles, to lift the extensions to reach another layer.

The pads are extremely important as they will stop any burning sensation (we'll get to that later!)

Duration:

Applying a full set of lash extensions is a time consuming process. For quality work, expect to spend 2-2.5 hours for that very first appointment.

I have ADHD and it's difficult to stay still for those initial appointments, sometimes even my fills. I've discovered that going into the appointment with a fully stretched body can help you relax and stay still for a longer period of time. I make sure to stretch for 5-10 mins before I leave for my appointment so that my back doesn't get sore. Additionally, if you need to sit up and stretch during your appointment, that's fine! Because you did your research and chose a professional, they totally get it and literally don't care at all.

As mentioned in nearly every Lash Tech's policies, do not consume caffeine on that day until after your appointment. Not only can this cause eye twitching, which makes your Tech's job much more difficult, but it can make you restless and want to move.

If you choose to go back for a fill, you can expect a quality appointment to take at least 1 hour.

Potential Burning Sensation *IMPORTANT*:

While there may be some mild discomfort during the very first appointment, there should be absolutely no prolonged burning sensation. If there is, communicate this with your Lash Tech. Sometimes, even during a fill many appointments after your first one, eye pads can move around. Even millimetres and simply because you're talking, laughing, or smiling. The movement of these eye pads are typically what cause the burning sensation so once this has been communicated, your Lash Tech should adjust them. Do not hesitate to share this. Sometimes, for first-timers, there can be more discomfort and the best solution is for the Lash Tech to use their fan to dry the glue.

Additionally, never open your eyes unless your Lash Tech tells you to. The burning sensation can happen even if you open your eyes for the tiniest flash. I've seen and heard horror stories where the client (while definitely experiencing a botched situation) was taking videos of themselves with open eyes during the service. This is not safe, so don't do it! Again, it's so, so, important to keep up communication with your tech.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Step 4: Feeling and After Care

Your finished lashes will feel much heavier than what you're used to, but there should not be any 'pain'/discomfort. You should be able to blink, keep your eyes closed, and squint easily, even if it feels odd and different. If there is a poking feeling, this is mostly likely from a lash fan being place too close to the lash line. Message your Lash Tech and they should be able to fix it for you.

Taking care of your lashes is important, fr. If you aren't washing them everyday... Girl, they just won't look good.

Many Lash Techs sell their own lash shampoo, that's where I get mine. If yours doesn't, they'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Make sure you bring a spoolie with you everywhere! I ended up tossing a single spoolie (cut straw to cover the bristles) in each of my bags, so that no matter what, I always had one. Lashes get messed up during the day, take care of them!

Your Lash Tech should have (either on their website or their social media) something that shares who Lash Extensions would be good for and also shows clients how to care of their lashes between appointments. Make sure you have read it before you even book.

For best practice, book your appointments consistently so you can keep your lashes looking good. Don't wait until the last minute to book. Many Lash Tech's have a policy in regards to their fills.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧Step 5: Fall Out

People lose 3-5 lashes per day, so you can expect to see some longer lashes around your place. There is usually a tiny bit more fall out than usual on the very first fill day, but it should chill out pretty soon. If there is excessive fall out, contact your Lash Tech--with a light heart, always assume it was a product malfunction instead of the Tech themselves, it almost always is something easily fixed--and see what their solution is. Most Lash Techs I know offer a free fill--within the week of it's occurrence--because they know it rarely happens (also something to look for when finding a Lash Tech!)

That's all for now! If you have any questions or there is something you think I should add, feel free to visit the Post Office!

Good luck, and I hope you love your new lashes!

❀ *◦ jung eunbi ( eunha ). cis woman. she/her. bisexual. ⇝ hey, isn’t that lana bae? i think that the twenty-seven year old from seoul, south korea works as a baker at puggy's cakes, but outside of that people describe them as traces of flour left behind on otherwise spotless blue jeans, highlighter and ink staining the tips of fingers, meticulously crafting latte art only to disrupt it a few minutes later, textbooks collecting dust on the shelf, and the faint scent of saltwater. i hear they are subservient & cowardly, but they are also known to be practical & passionate. consider giving them a visit at their home in delilah's den gated community and get to know why they’re called the sensible.

-former golden girl and high school valedictorian with gifted kid burnout -law school dropout, currently trying her hand at baking -the peacekeeper in her family, but really just hates conflict -thinks she's the "chill girl" just bc she's agreeable (but is actually very type a) -always looking for a silver lining in a bad situation -very sensitive, will fight back tears if you raise your voice at her -might go back to law school, might go to culinary school, who knows? -just wants to be validated and to not feel like she's throwing her life away

pinterest board / playlist

all the lights couldn't put out the dark running through my heart: lore.

Childhood:

Ever since she was a newborn, Lana had a reputation as the "easy baby." She never gave her parents too much trouble, a trait that continued well into her life and which she would become especially known for within her family unit. Easy-going and more soft spoken in nature than the rest of the Bae clan, Lana learned quickly how to diffuse a potentially volatile situation with a smile and a few thoughtful words. In a way, she fit into the role of "the peacekeeper" seamlessly, happy to bring her siblings a bit of comfort with her mere presence.

Despite her gift for diffusing tension, Lana had never been the kind of kid to revel in being the center of attention. In fact, she considered herself more of a wallflower, content to let others shine brightly while she played the supporting role of the observer and comforter. But with her agreeable disposition, Lana made friends easily and quickly throughout her life, despite her more reserved tendencies.  

Though she wasn't the type of student to promptly raise her hand or speak up all that often in class, Lana remained at the top of her class throughout her childhood academic career ( even if her teachers always marked her class participation as "needing improvement" ). It became a defining characteristic for the young girl, the ease with which she soaked up new information and make keen observations about the world around her and, without even realizing it, it swiftly became a part of her identity.

Adolescence/Young Adulthood:

In high school, Lana continued to excel in her academic pursuits, setting her sights on maintaining a 4.0 GPA so that she would be able to get into the college of her choice and eventually make her way to a prestigious law school. Homework and study groups weren't the only thing occupying her time, though. Lana was also secretary of the student council, co-captain of the debate team, and a member of the cheerleading squad.

The picture of a shining girl-next-door that rarely (if ever) acted out, Lana felt immense pride in being a child that her parents could brag to their friends about. She felt no bitterness or resentment towards the role that she'd been cast in. If anything, she embraced it, and was eventually rewarded for her hard work when she was named the valedictorian of her graduating class and voted Most Likely to Succeed.

Though she made it through high school largely unscathed (and with the exemplary grades to match), the cracks started to show during Lana's undergraduate years in college. She'd never been particularly good at the idea of doing things half-heartedly, and with the title of high school valedictorian weighing heavily on her shoulders, she threw herself headfirst into the world of collegiate academia. Every semester was bursting at the seams with extra credit hours, internships, and extracurriculars, ensuring that every second of Lana's days were accounted for as she made the most of her college experience. With such a full course load on her shoulders, Lana's demanding schedule left little room for time to herself. But academics had always been the thing she was best at. Surely, she could handle it.

After finishing her undergraduate studies, Lana wasted no time enrolling in law school, barely giving herself the summer to recuperate before classes began. And after four years of burning the candle at all ends, for the first time in her life, Lana was finding it difficult to focus during lectures and keep up with her assignments. The fatigue of her nonstop dedication to her education soon caught up with her, and after only a year in school came a first for Lana: failing a class for the very first time. Embarrassed and ashamed of herself for coming up short on her life's dream, she deferred from her program and returned home. 

Present Day:

Unaccustomed to failure, Lana is having a difficult time grappling with the reality of her academic dreams going up in flames. Grades and school have so long been a part of her identity, that she isn't sure who she is without them. And after the disaster that was her first year of law school, she's uncertain whether or not she'll ever go back.

With her legal future currently on hold, Lana has dedicated the last five years to recovering from the mental strain of her nonstop studies. But she's never been particularly good at sitting idle. Stuck at her parents' house with no solid schedule to follow, Lana instead threw herself into a round of self-improvement and side-projects spanning a wide range of topics such as home renovation, crafts, mindfulness practices, and exercise. But the one that she stuck with the longest was cooking and baking, an endeavor that eventually led to her current means of employment ( and gave her the financial means to finally leave home ).

With no proper baking training under her belt, Lana had to engage with her new hobby as a complete novice ( a weakness for the notoriously ambitious girl ). She gave herself permission to fail and learn from her mistakes, assured that every new dish would be a step in the right direction. Could this newfound passion be enough to reignite her competitive spirit, to build the skills of resiliency needed to make it through life in Anchorage?

But with the unexpected arrival of her niece Callie, the disappearance of her brother's long-time girlfriend, and her brother losing custody of the baby, there's not much time for Lana to worry about herself or her future. After all, the world keeps spinning, regardless of her indecision and fears. The best thing she can do right now is help Mark get back on his feet and take care of his daughter. Everything will sort itself out in the end. It has to.

How do you get into the perspective of your OC(s)? What were the first few things you did to get into their character and understand them better?

I absolutely love this question bc it led to me re reading my own work 😂

I somehow got to my my characters very well without ever putting my book in first person. It’s all third person, sub for one character who breaks the fourth wall and sometimes speaks without quotation marks.

I was inspired by Shannon Hale’s run of Ever After High (Ever After High has at least three different book series by three different authors, plus a Netflix tv series- it’s like a miniature MCU but with better characterization lmao) and I can arguably say that Shannon Hale has the best material on all of Ever After High.

Here is an example (the image is sourced from Etsy) of how a character breaks the containment of using proper formatting of quotation marks and speaks directly to the narrator

I do this as well. Different font, and then I write it like a text message going back and forth, disregarding quotation marks or proper formatting. However this only happens a couple of times per book for my character, and a handful (4-5) times in Ever After High.

I know my characters far too well. The main eight are like children to me, I know their deepest desire and darkest fear and coping mechanism and guilty pleasure. I have been with them for over 5 years without finishing my novel. The time has been spent with making playlists and drawing pictures and creating Pinterest boards and writing things that I don’t intend to publish or include in the final manuscript (hehehe fanfiction by the author) because I simply like to explore them in different situations. My books are going to be in third person, but I ocassionally write in first person, even if I’m planning on just deleting it, because I just like to practice getting in my characters’ heads when I have writers block.

I follow the “worst” writing advice ever. I base many traits for my OCs off of myself, which could be seen as making them Mary Sues. I write them like real people, adding in stupid dialogue of them stuttering or accidentally interrupting one another and then saying “oh sorry, you go first”. I write smut about my favourite OC ships knowing that I’ll never include it in the final draft of my book, just because I want to write about what’s happening “off screen” and what my characters are doing when the reader isn’t looking (although there are indeed some sex scenes in my book, I do like to write additional ones that aren’t nearly as eloquent or have any plans to include it in the published novel). I started my second draft before my first draft was finished, solely because I understood my writing style had improved so abruptly and the characters had evolved so much, I needed to start fresh. I look in the mirror and act out my character’s conversations with one another or their fight scenes or how they wave their hands around like Elsa conjuring magic. I take breaks for months and when I finally sit down and write, I’ll either write 5 words, or 2205 words in one sitting, and not often anything in between.

I have horrible writing advice, and I suggest you take any of it that you’d like or that resonated with you, because it has brought me so much joy in my life and has helped me gradually get to know my characters like new friends who become family.

I’ve been told that my writing “flows like butter” which is so odd because I juggle 4 protagonists, 2 antagonists, and 2 deuteragonists. They don’t “all fit”, but they all have a role to play. Like the delicious fries on the side of the burger, the whole meal. Your characters don’t need to be stars. They just need to be memorable. And I know they will be. Your mind is more capable than you think.

Like honestly, just word vomit on the page and write silly stuff. It will be the most human, glorious, flawed, messy, endearing, and passionate writing you’ll see. Just go create chaos. And play with your characters like Barbie dolls. In a little while, you’ll know them like you know yourself.

At the end of the day, anything you write will be an achievement because you took nothing and turned it into something, transformed a blank page into a series of words and letters. That’s god behaviour right there. Even if it’s shitty writing, you created it from scratch.

But also, don’t worry about setting deadlines and timelines. I’ve been at this since grade 10 and now I’m in university and I’m still not done. Let your characters marinate and soak and rest in your mind. Let them grow. There is no rush. All is well 💜 and one day your characters will grow like little plants from seeds 🫂🫂🫂💕💕💕 just be patient with yourself, and have fun with getting to know your characters!

Thank you @baby-droll for tagging me, means a lot to me <3

The WIP I’m actually “working on”: Law Student Porsche Sugar Daddy Kinn AU

WIP I keep open in the background so I don’t feel guilty: Another AU, it’s a they grew up together AU and what if Korn etc were a bit less fucked up but still dysfunctional af. They are less murdery regarding their own family but I still wouldn’t want to attend Korn’s birthday party which is actually where the fic starts when Porsche comes back from abroad after years of not being in contact with Kinn. 

Imaginary project: KP figure skating AU. I am never going to write it and it’s my on and off passion project depending on the season basically but it’s great entertainment in my head

Passion project: My passion project is actually also the fic in the background. I think I should mention that this idea is in my wip folder for more than one year now. And I think I wrote like 50k words for it already which is a first chapter I wrote a year ago and I am not happy with it anymore, three quarter of a second chapter 20k words of just random snippets and two new attempts at a first chapter which were written in the last few weeks and new notes bc i actually decided to change things and it gave me more snippets and more timelines and well. I also have like pinterests boards and collages for that fic. 

WIP from 3 months ago: I started a ballet dancer Porsche AU and i basically put it in the bin and just decided to add a remark about Porsche doing ballet when he was younger in that Model AU

And I am going to tag @ahdriking and @muidipel and if you see this and want to do it too, feel free to feel tagged <3

Astro observations pt 3? bc I haven’t finished what I was supposed to post 🧍

This picture is from Pinterest.

I knew someone with the same ascendant and sun as me but I didn’t noticed bc of the moon energy. How important, necessary and notorious is the difference in the big three depending on the element of the moon sign. My big 3 is libra sun, pisces moon and aquarius rising. The energy I give off is more dramatic, sensitive and playful. On the other hand, her moon is in virgo, so the energy she give off is completely opposite than mine: she’s serious, distant and helpful. But we do share the same 2 placements of the big 3.

I didn’t have interest in history but when I had the opportunity of having a class with a new teacher, I liked it. The passion and dedication of the topic they spoke about, and the most important thing is the objectivity; he spoke facts, with sources, without any intention of his students to memorize the information but understand it, observing and analyzing it. Teaching without any misrepresented information. How he -the teacher- spoke about certain topics that in the past, I preferred to pass out than be present in the same class. Being able to be emotional and logic. Would I be embarrassed if I said I loved it? -the manner of speaking and sharing ideas, how he teach-. What placements he has? moon 3H and mercury 1H. Moon in the 3rd house makes the individual learn how to communicate during their whole life, specifically about topics that turns on their sensitive nature. They are balanced: too emotional and logical when it comes to speak up, with time they learn how to be. They’re open minded, they want to listen to different point of views, to understand their own and to extract what benefits them and etc. They observe. Mercury in the 1st house makes them a COMMUNICATOR. That’s why he has the ability of changing my mind, my opinion or point of view, be interested in a topic minutes before I wasn’t. Sophisticated. They have this air that makes you believe them, that you know they’re not lying to you, that they’re transparent and have the sources and motives to back up their ideas. They’re intelligent. They want to learn and this curiosity push them to new fields. They could use their attachment to their origins to transmit ideas, from an specific point of view, that’s unique. Is wholesome, that I had the opportunity to be their student, for have been able to witness this placements 🧍

People with Neptune 7H is so pure. When I first knew this friend, my first impression of her was that she was shy and now I think that we must protect her bc she’s a baby 😭 They often give more than what they receive. They idealize or have a wrong idea of people in their relationships. They tend to ignore or avoid what’s happening in that topic. They think too much about the idea of who surrounds them: think better of them, that the relationship is deeper than it actually is. That’s why they struggle in the social/relationships, specifically in the romantic ones. I’ve seen this people have a good relationships with their friends¿? They could expect too much of their partner, later, realizing they’re not who they thought. Also, they could be shy or reserved because they’re scared of judgement, by being capable of living dreaming.

Moon square Jupiter aspect people always wants “peace” in their relationships, even if its imposible -not everything is going to be pink-. Their moods change A LOT, they could take everything personal. They could feel threatened and bc of this are alert the whole time. They’re inestable, they start the day with a shiny face and then they remember something that happened in the past: their day is ruined -by themselves-. This people get carried by what others think and say about them, they struggle on believing in themselves, with their self-wroth. The environment where they grew up made them doubt. They may support themselves in a religion or spiritual stuff, they could feel peaceful knowing that something has their back, that they don’t suffer alone or is “for some reason”. They could also attached themselves to a person in specific. They want to know more and more -about religion/spirituality- but they’re scared of not finding the answers they want -but the ones they need. They suffer, trying to understand the meaning or accepting the reality. That they can’t hold anymore to a false reality -that’s their copy mechanism: to create a reality that’s total opposite of the one they grew up, to finally fulfill the necessities of their inner child-.

Scorpio mercury: I love my placement. It’s so fucking 🤯 My sarcastic ass bitch wouldn’t tell otherwise. They observe, when they’re in a new situation -this is a specific case bc they always do-, they analyze the body language, the conduct, the gestures, how they express, how many information they give and what type, their confidence, how they present themselves, everything you would imagine. I LOVE IT. Once I read that with a scorpio mercury you would never know about them, and that ended up being true: they will get information from you in a subtly manner, you don’t realize what you’re saying to them. They’re fucking sarcastic, they love to joke around but not in a goofy way? but they don’t insult an individual, they don’t like it -in my case, 7° (libra degree)- . They get to the point, they’re straightforward, their words can cut you without a warning. They don’t like when people keep making the same questions (repetitive) when it comes to know them, bc it’s obvious -in their eyes- that if they don’t answer or try to avoid it, it’s not necessary to tell you what’s happening -that they don’t like the situation-; and more when they’re a reserve person, they don’t like to reveal their lives if they’re not comfortable/don’t want to. Even worse when someone that they don’t like, take their information and spread it like nothing, without their permission; they will warn you in front of everyone that they didn’t like it and you didn’t have the right to do it. Those little things that I just mentioned are EVERYTHING for them. Don’t you dare use what they told you about themselves in a manner they will not agree. You have the honor of knowing at least a little bit of them, don’t waste it.

hi lovey how are you <3

it's late—like,,,4am late—and im somehow spewing out actual sentences BUT i have a question and i've been debating on how to start this whole thing so ill just say fuck it n get it out there—how do you keep up with all your wips??? bc like,,,,i've started writing, and i LOVE it. it's so fun to have these ideas finally out in word format instead of just stuck in my head.

but i have a really bad habit of starting smth n then...moving on to smth else when inspiration strikes. i occasionally go back to what i was originally writing, but even then it doesn't last long before im starting a whole new story 😭 im a little peeved as i've completely abandoned this one writing i slaved away at for days abt the backstory of one of my ocs—im somewhat proud of it n i don't want to just not get back into it.

as i write this, im currently staring at my laptop as i churn out yet another story of said oc (along with multiple other ocs myself n a friend made together) n im just,,,perplexed?? i suppose, on how so many fic writers keep up with all their wips.

i realize now that im just droning on n on so ill end here. writing is a bitch but also feels me with accomplishment when i do end up finishing smth, so i was just curious as to how you work around wips n things like that.

hello darling, i'm okay!! kinda dreading today's shift, but it is what it is. how are u tho??

and to be honest with u, i don't keep up with my wips like . at all . i do try to maintain some order, and sometimes i forbid myself from working on a story in favour of focusing on another one, but it doesn't always work, and there are times in which i really want to work on a fic even tho it's not a priority or supposed to be posted any time soon. but still, i try not to beat myself up over it, bc fanfiction is a hobby and something that i do for fun!! it shouldn't feel like a chore, so even if i do want to keep a schedule or alternate between wips so i can have some resemblance of balance, it's not really necessary, or even possible, considering the amount of wips i have lmao. it's our work and our writing, we're free to never finish anything if we don't want to, or to write 13847872648 fics at the same time, or to write only one for the rest of our lives. there are no rules or a right way to go about it yk??? i totally get the need to . focus on just one project, or at least be able to finish something, anything, but it'll happen at some point, i promise, and u should never force yourself, especially when it comes to an activity u do bc u love it and enjoy it

it's different if we talk about original fiction or original characters.. at least in my case!! i didn't get into writing fanfic until a few years ago, but i've been writing original stories since i can remember!! in fact there's this one i'm very slowly making progress with, that i came up with back when i was 17, and that i really want to . finish someday and hopefully try and publish it. for me, and when i'm really passionate about a project, like with this one, i do . force myself to not write anything else . it's inevitable to get new ideas, so i write them down, i make pinterest boards and even outlines, and occassionally, i also start them, write a lil of them when i need a break or to scratch the itch. but otherwise i just . do my best to stick to the one that i really love and i'm the proudest of. i do tend to hyperfixate and obsess a lot, so it's not THAT hard for me, bc even if i do get distracted sometimes, i always come back to this story. especially since i've been working on it for almost 5 years now, and i know it like the back of my hand. i could write three prequels and four sequels lol

so really, i don't think there's a right or wrong way to go about this. one of my best friends, and a writer i quite admire, jumps from a wip to another all the time, and also struggles to finish a story, but she just . trusts the process . lets herself have fun and write whatever she wants every day . it's been a while since she last finished something but she isn't too worried yk?? she enjoys what she does, and what matters is that she keeps writing. every person is different, and the way they approach writing is, too!!

my advice is to try and find out what works best for u and to stop beating yourself up over something that might be out of ur control. if u have this one story that's really important to u and that u really wanna finish, then maybe ur gonna have to practise some self-discipline, and force yourself a little, forbid yourself from getting distracted with these other shiny new ideas. but if doing that ruins the whole thing for u and sucks the fun out of writing then . take it one day at a time, focus on something different each day, and start 4 stories in the same week. it doesn't matter babe!! writing is an art, there's not a correct way to do it!!

hihiii !! ^O^ hope you dont mind me sending this so suddenly :"D i saw the post thingy ab the questions and it seemed fun !! so if you dont mind:

1, 17, 28 ( + maybe 38 ) ?

( also i hope youre doing well !! ^^ <333 / p )

hiii kiwi!! always nice to hear from you!! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) and of course i don't mind!! i reblogged the ask game bc i wanted asks :3 i hope you're doing well too <3 anyways, without further ado:

1 - what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

hmmm..... on a bit of a sad note, when i was a kid/young teen, i was always very much an outcast. people consistently found me weird and offputting, and i was very lonely. but i remained true to myself no matter what-- i knew it was pointless to try and "fit in" (because i'd always do it "wrong" anyways)-- so i have a very strong sense of who i am, and i am determined to love myself no matter what. it is also because of this that i'm so determined to be kind. i want to make others feel welcome and loved around me. i don't want to ever treat anyone the way i was treated. i know how much it hurts to be alone, so i want to do what i can to ensure that it won't happen to the people around me. so that's thing #1.

uhhh secondly! for a more lighthearted example, i'd say being in fandom! i've always kind of just kept to myself and have never been involved in major drama, so fandom has always been a favourable experience for me. it started when i was a young teen on pinterest just staring at (what i now know was stolen) fanart and obsessing over my faves, and now i'm on tumblr doing the exact same thing years later! but now i have online friends :) my interests have always brought me so much joy, and having a space to obsess over them as much as i want has just made me even more passionate i think. :3

thirdly, i'd say jazz music. my parents love jazz and play it very often at home. it's a genre i grew up listening to, so it just feels warm, familiar, and home-like. it also inspired me to learn the saxophone in junior and senior high school, and i loved playing jazz songs with others. jazz has been with me for so long :,)

17 - name 3 things that make you happy

oooh ok!!! 1. i love making art, so whenever i get a chance to sit down and make something it's just so nice :))) and i love admiring my creations afterward. 2. i love spending time with my friends! hanging out with them always makes me feel warm. 💖💖 3. my beloved matching bokuto + akaashi nendoroids!!!! i love them so much im so happy to have them. my beloved beloved sons. i love them so much im so lucky i found them at the mall :,)

28 - do you collect anything?

as you might have suspected from my above answer, i collect anime figures! my collection is still very small as i started fairly recently (and my parents are always on me about spending my money more wisely), but i love collecting them!! you can see what figures i have and which ones i want on my myfigurecollection.net profile! ^_^

the two top figures on my wishlist are the new miku x cinnamoroll nendoroid (aaaaaa) and. literally any kaito figure. they really haven't made many......... i need one though :( my little guy :(

38 - fave song at the moment?

i'd say loneliness of spring by inabakumori! the official english cover of it is really good as well. it captures a lot of things i've been feeling lately.......

im also obsessed with chogakusei's newest cover, konton boogie !! :0 it's so good, as his covers always are.
