the fic writing thing: 4. 9. 17. 82.

4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you haven’t written it yet and experience deep existential dread?

I've always kind of wanted to write a Buffy/Faith fic, set during season 6. I just feel like it will always be a much better fic in my head than it ever would be if I wrote it down

9. in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?

yes, as long as it was made by people who actually cared and it got the time/budget it needed to fully tell the story. I love books but I also love seeing how they change when adapted to a different medium.

17. what is your favorite line you’ve ever written?

honestly one that hasn't been posted yet. It's in my current WIP :)

82. “proper” punctuation or all lowercase?

In my writing? proper punctuation every time, bc that's how I prefer to read. In like texting and stuff, I do whatever is easiest.

praises to both OP and this follow up for preaching what needs to be said

hey i have a fucking bone to pick with sapphic fandoms

like, i get it okay. i've been on tumblr since 2011, i was in the trenches during the bury your gays nightmare, i grew up on buffy, i watched the 100, i've been through the furious and devastating queerbaits, and i've watched helplessly as the boom of proper progress with sapphic rep has burned and disappeared with the faults of the industry as it is rn and the resurgence of bury your gays in the form of tv cancellations

i even did a fucking guest lecture for a film & tv university course a couple years ago on all of this

we joke about the fact that queer (specifically sapphic) fans flock to any show with the barest hint of rep in it because we're so starved for it, and we talk about the fact that if nothing else, that proves that there's a market and an audience and it usually creates a huge wave of viewership and attention for the show

but i need to fucking point out: acting as though a show exists for the sole purpose of the sapphic relationship you've started watching it for is fucking detrimental to how you'll perceive the show, how it'll get talked about in fandom spaces and then beyond that (bc the line between fandom spaces and wider online discussion of media is a lot thinner than it was ten years ago) and isn't actually going to do any good for sapphic rep! like, at all! because guess what! unless you're watching a show where the entire storyline revolves around romance, this couple you're watching for ISN'T going to be the centre of the story! it's a part of it! and there's such a weird fucking entitled toxicity to how fans act around brilliant storytelling and worldbuilding and writing and characters throwing tantrums about not getting more screentime for the relationship they like because they don't actually care about any other part of the story. and the thing about people who watch something solely for a ship rather than the wider story it exists in, is that a lot of the time, you'll fundamentally misinterpret the characters and their dynamic because you're not taking any of the wider context of the world and story into account at all.

and yes, of course i'm talking about agatha all along in the immediacy. because we knew a long, long time ago that billy maximoff was gonna be an integral part of this story, long before we knew anything about what the vibe of this show was gonna be, long before anyone even had the tiniest whisper of rio's existence. the same way wandavision was monica rambeau's origin story even though the show was wanda's, we suspected that agatha all along would be billy's/wiccan's origin story even if the show focused on agatha. and you know fucking what. that's good fucking storytelling. this show is smart, it's funny, it's curious, it's campy, it's queer, and it's ensemble. that's always been the point. agatha and rio were a delightfully unexpected part of it that added such delicious tension and phenomenal sapphic rep, but you know what else! the point of that dynamic is to flesh out agatha's character! this show isn't about agatha and rio! it's about agatha and billy, who they are, how their pasts and their magic are connected, their traumas and their power and how the road shapes their futures! rio is a part of exploring agatha's past, and it's phenomenal, but i am so fucking bewildered by the ridiculousness of people's reactions to billy now having a bigger part in the story and there being less focus on agatha and rio. you do know that you write scenes and characters and stories in a way that makes sense right? that because of the nature of this show, even if we don't get more than a handful agatha and rio scenes for the rest of the episodes, they're both still sapphic characters, this is still wonderful sapphic rep, and this show is still very, very queer?

like, it's obviously not fair that we have to beg for scraps to have queer shows to watch. but that doesn't mean that any of us get to do such a fucking disservice to the people who make amazing shows and fight to put sapphic rep in them within the contexts of the stories they're telling by whining that it's not enough. what we're getting with agatha all along, what kathryn han and aubrey plaza and jac schaeffer have said with such grace and nuance and intrigue and depth about agatha and rio's relationship, is so fucking rare! and it's nestled within a story that's got so much other intricate storytelling that makes agatha and rio richer characters when you actually pay some fucking attention and care about who they are outside of their sexual tension!

and i'm saying this because this is an issue i see with So many other shows, where the worth of a show gets boiled down to fandoms wanting content of their ship and nothing else and then poisoning the conversation and reception around what else it is that show is doing with its story. idk get some fucking media literacy, grow up and respect artists and creatives.

I think the anon may be referring to rose leslie. She announced her pregnancy back in sept 2020 and I’m not sure when they were filming the show but I did feel like there was a split second in which it was noticeable. I tried going back to look at gifs from past eps but couldn’t tell

And another anon:

i think anon was referring to Rose Leslie, according to her Wikipedia page she gave birth in February 2021, so it'd mean she was probably pregnant while filming vigil?

And @becamitchell replied:

Rose Leslie was pregnant when they came back for finishing the show last year, I believe she was in her second trimester.

Ohhh, thanks! I actually did start skimming back and like, both wear a lot of sweaters and coats so I was unsure. And in the scene where Amy and Kirsten first meet, where Kirsten's wearing the red (I can't believe part of me wants to call it a jumper...I've been corrupted...) sweater, she looks fairly lean. But what do I know, and they could have shot it before the break. I dunno, I wasn't really paying much attention. :x

But I mean, unless she's mastered time travel, she would have had to have been. Brave of her!

Idk how some people don't ship mitchsen, there is so much tension between them. Their looks would be 'fuck me' looks ngl. Both of them are dominant little fucks, who tops? Aubrey.

I’m fucking thriving in this pandemic. I’m currently working on a multi chapter fic while I’m also working on like three other one shots.

I can’t believe people actually want to end the lockdowns. I’m currently living my best life.
