#but i guess atm my favourite is ‘do you believe in love?’

[seiwas]

📑 what fic/s of yours is/are your personal favourite/s and why?

feel free to reblog / comment / say it in the tags and even share links if you want! 🤭

[wetcatspellcaster]

1, 2, 8, 12, and 16!

1. Do you prefer writing one-shots or multichaptered fics?

I mean, my ao3 speaks for myself :') I guess my history of multichap is less of a preference, and more of a complete inability to keep anything fucking brief

even the gale/durge fic was supposed to be a one-shot. smh.

2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?

It's a mixture of both. My last three fics have followed this pattern -

Write the first few chapters just chilling, seeing where things go. Hit the first point that feels like a 'turning point' (in pieces this was infamous chapter 7). then I outline and plan, once I know the fic is going to happen for real.

Typically, I plan what happens in a chapter, but not necessarily every step in the process. It depends how writing the chapter is going - outlines get more detailed, the more I'm struggling. atm, I'm stuck on the modern AU, so I am writing bullet points whenever i have energy so I have something to help me. sometimes I'll work off a one sentence notice, and the action will be vivid enough in my mind for that to work.

8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?

depends on how reliant the story is on romance. if it's a romance-heavy fic, the middle for certain, bc the tension between two people getting together is my favourite part, and established relationships are comforting to read but they're sometimes difficult to progress as a writer.

i also like endings though! often because the ending of a thing will have become more and more vivid to me in time, so it's nice to finally put that final set of images down on paper. particularly if I stick the landing :'))

12. How does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?

aghhhh, a dangerous question

I'm a very pessimistic (and currently very depressed) person. I require a hell of a lot of positive reinforcement, for a dumb bitch who's chosen to be in academia. I'm not sure I would still be writing, if people hadn't commented and read my early fics, in my dragon age era. I'm not sure I'd value the work I put into the world, if people hadn't shouted at me and told me it was valued.

this kind of changed with pieces 'blowing up' (i don't like that phrase). receiving that amount of feedback was amazing, but it was also overwhelming. it felt weird, to become 'known' - this is my introvert hobby, i like not being perceived. Now that it's passed, I also firmly believe no fic I write will ever be that popular, ever again. which isn't that no fic will be as good or better, but pieces was a perfect storm of a fandom i'd already written for, tropes people liked, and the height of bg3's popularity. my writing wasn't magically better in pieces, than in other fics. I will never get that amount of attention again, unless I start deliberately chasing trends or popular fandoms, which I don't want to do.

...and that's totally ok. Since pieces, I've consciously tried to just write ideas for myself, and not for feedback. feedback is the nice added bonus. but it also proved to me how much fandom/fic popularity is not about quality, and more about timing. your audience is determining a lot more than your writing necessarily is :')

so, to answer your question, to receive feedback or not to receive feedback impacts me a lot. receiving it will always make me feel like a better writer, because I'm very harsh on myself and I see none of the good things in my work that other people see. Someone saying 'oh this was good' has me replying 'oh fuck, really?' not shouting into a void is always fabulous.

but not receiving feedback is also an utter relief. I loved writing so much of the modern AU just for myself and one other person. it's nice to have a fun, medium sized audience of people I recognise, and people I'm writing for. bc i'd rather have just my own enjoyment, or a smaller group of core people who i know like my writing, than have a flash in the pan of like "WOW THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER" who never stick around

woof. long answer.

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

All of my fic ideas are published or publishing! :)

but I'm fighting off a dragon age rook concept (an orlesian mage who fled from the circles after the college system was introduced and then became a prodigious 'assassin', killing people with magic) with my bare fucking hands.

Only if you fee like it. Don't feel pressured to do it if you don't.

[cobaltsoulsearcher]

*falls in* I'm gonna be honest I don't know HOW they became my favourite crack ship

But it probably somewhat has to do with my inherent obsession with mashing the vox machina and mighty nein together in any way

I think at some point someone was like "So wait Vesper is the same age as Beau?"

And I was like, hooked

I think there's something to be said about being the eldest daughter, that only they would be able to really understand with each other

Being overlooked aswell maybe

Idk they captivate me

So like so you want actual requests cause I have like half a dozen miss matched ideas for them

Anything from them meeting as girls, Vesper seeing the quiet angry eldest and only daughter of the Lionettes at a party her parents are hosting. ((Vex likes their wine which is how they end up invited)) And reaching out to the girl who almost feels like a reflection of her

Or after they start talking down Trent and the academy, Expositioner Beauregard coming to Whitestone to take statements and figure out where the De Rolo belong in all of this. Did they know about the residuum? Are Vox Machina just another group of obnoxious asswholes in potions of power and not the heroes she believed? Being there for Percy and Vex but instead being drawn to his eldest daughter, who seems worn down in a way, burden by expectations and the weight of not fulfilling them

Maybe even a Beau who asks Vesper to follow her on an adventure

To be selfish for once and do something just for herself

Um. Yeah sorry. I have thoughts I guess 👉👈

((IM AN ANXIOUS MESS THIS IS WHY I DONT DO ASKS USUALLY))

If it makes you less anxious I’m happy to DM or give you a discord or email because OMG I’m in love with this idea literally even before you sent this I was mentally considering how to add this to the background of my current Vesper-centric WIP

Okay okay okay okay

It may take me a little bit because I have other projects atm but I ALSO am obsessed with the M9/VM interacting especially around the residuum and Cerberus assembly thing so ahhhh/pos

Fuck too many good ideas

Howwwe about I just start with some drabbles/flash fics? Is that okay?

WIP Questionnaire (2.0)

I was tagged a second time by @finchwrites, so I'll do this for my second WIP too.

Project.Ink

1. What was the first part of your wip that you created?

As I mentioned in this post, as someone from an Irish family, I wanted to write a novel that paid homage to our folklore, so I decided to mess with the general concept of a 'changeling'. Rowan came to be when I tried to think up a character that was a faerie who, for some reason, believed they were a human - and the rest followed.

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

Not so much a theme song, but Rowan and Killeen's song is definitely Dying Star by Ashnikko and Ethel Cain. I'd probably have it playing in the background when Killeen realises who Rowan actually is to her.

3. Who are your favourite characters you've made? Why?

Rowan was the first character I created for this story so I do have a soft spot for her in my heart, but because I knew I wanted this to be a queer story, when I created Killeen I basically just turned my ideal woman into a lesbian fae warrior so??? of course I would die for her?? Plus being The Inquisitor for The Sidhe Court is kind of a slay, no?

4. What other pieces of media do you think would share a fan base for your story?

Never read it, but from what I've heard I can only assume ACOTAR peeps would be into it. If anyone has ever watched Zone Blanche/The Black Spot (spooky french supernatural murder drama), that is EXACTLY the vibe I'm going for - just Irish (and if you haven't watched it you should).

5. What has been your biggest struggle with your wip?

There are two parallel storylines in the story - Rowan's storyline when she is taken into the Fae realm, and the second storyline that follows the aftermath in her small town when her parents report her missing. I struggle a fair bit with actually writing the aforementioned second storyline because I get so caught up with all the lesbian dumbassery that I forget there is in fact a second layer to my plot.

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

Crows, ravens and other corvids are ALWAYS a motif in my stories. The Sidhe also have a strong supernatural connection to the flora and fauna so not only are there several different kinds of forest dwelling animals in the story, but most of the characters can communicate with them!

7. How do your characters get around? (ex: trains, horses, cars, dragons, etc.)

Honestly for a fantasy book my setting/map is rather small so most of the travel is done by foot. I guess there'll probably be a few police cars involved and maybe some kind of sailboat at some point lmao

8. What part of your wip are you working on rn?

In the earlier stages of the first draft atm. I started this as a passion project only about 6 months ago even though I had the plot idea for a couple of years.

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe?) of your wip do you think will draw people in?

Queer fae. Need I say more? Also I'm hoping the fact that there are a lot more spooky/horror elements to this story, as opposed to a lot of faerie narratives, will interest people. It's all going to be set in Ireland as well so that's another demographic that I hope will enjoy it!

10. What are your hopes for your wip?

It's a queer story where the characters are just... queer.... and in love... there's no homophobia, no "I'm gay and that's okay and normal!", no having to come out - it just is right from the get go, a gay story about gay girls being gay without that being the focal point of the narrative - so I hope that if it ever gets published, it'll be a book that queer people can go to when they need a spooky gay fantasy without any of the trauma and alienation that we feel as queer people irl. I hope people connect to the story and take some comfort in the darkness.

And I'm gonna tag @sleepywriter00 @akiwitch and @eccaiia

People you'd like to get to know better - tag!

i got tagged in a tag by @calicosimgirl 😁😁 which is insane to me bc i consider myself just a little tumblr stalker who occasionally posts piccys of my sims. tysm💚 this is my first tag as im extremely new to actually frequently using tumblr so idk how to do these things so i really hope im right with how i do this

Last song you listened to:

safety pin by 5sos. i am obsessed with those guys<33 ive seen them live in concert once and i cant wait to do it again:)

also! blissful ignorance by foxhaunt. im seeing them at a gig in manchester next month after seeing them around on tiktok and this song? it just perfectly scratches my brain in all the right ways

Favourite colour(s):

green!!!! my irl nickname is littlegreengirl, i have green hair and the majority of my clothes are green. i just think its funky. i also wear a lot of black so i guess that too

Currently watching:

superstore! cant believe i never watched it before. and also the new disney+ percy jackson. i also love bad education, b99 and futurama. i am a chronic watch-till-youre-sick-of-it so anything ive seen before that i can just whack on and know its funny.

Last movie you watched:

percy jackson sea of monsters. ive been rereading the books and reigniting my passion, what can i say (even though i have thallasophobia weirdly)

Sweet/spicy/savoury:

savoury. bc i dont think there is anything better than gherkins 🤩🤩

Last thing you googled:

i think it was ‘average amount of teeth’ bc i was on facetime with my best friend and we fell into a rabbit hole of how many teeth people have. if youre wondering, i have 24 (and that is the least amount of teeth out of everyone ive asked???)

Currently working on:

i havent played my nsb save in a while since im back home from uni atm. i go bsck on sunday so im sure i will be back into sim mode the second i step foot on mancunian ground. ive been really interested in posting lookbooks as well, as soon as i figure out how to take ok quality photos and sort out my cc. but if youre talking physically working, im at work on my break rn and i have been slaying at making those big macs.

i fear i have exposed a lot of myself to some people who do not need to know this much about me. but i guess thats the point!!!! i think tags are very fun and if anyone wants to tag me in future ones, hell yea! lets see what other weird things i can google inbetween now and then

im not sure who else to tag as i mainly only follow cc creators haha - pls dont feel any pressure to respond or anything but id like to make friends on here:)

Get to Know Me and My Obsession with KISS 🎸

Thanks for the tag @starry-eyed-never-satisfied

1. Who is your favourite member?

Okay. Paul is my first love but sexy Ace is competing with him but god I have to say Paul.

2. Who is your least favourite member?

Everyone saying Mark. I know nothing bout him

3. Best album?

RARO ...I'm assuming studio albums and live albums don't count???

4. Worst album?

I didn't listen to their last two albums and have no intention to do so ATM

5. Favourite song?

THIS IS TOO HARD TO CHOOSE. Guess I gotta say Love Gun Though But I love C'mon and Love Me!

6. Say one nice thing about each member.

Paul- He's the STAR of KISS. I probably wouldn't have gotten into KISS if it weren't for him. Everything I adore and want to be

Gene- I wanna listen to him talk while we share milk and chocolate chip cookies together

Peter- I have a soft spot for him. I think he can be really sweet and cute

Ace- Sexy, trashy, baby girl, sexy girl in hooker boots. Wanna bend over and smack that ass. He and Paul are my bisexual fantasies. BUT SERIOUSLY, The first guitar player that made me go WOW. Never got the hype about lead guitarists before but then I was thinking of 80s rock and 80's rock solos never resonated with me. His solos are iconic, not just shredding/mindless noodling. As someone who never learned how to read music, I think it's amazing he influenced many to learn. I'd love to learn how to play. Not to be in a band but I've always wanted to play a guitar. Also, I'd love to hang out with him. He's funny and bright. I think there's softness to him and I'd like to believe (coming from a fan, of course) that he's a good person. He also reminds me of my ex early 90s era....so I guess I have a soft spot for him

Eric C- I wish I could meet him. If I had to pick one member I could meet it would be him because I know he'd be super sweet

Vinnie- talented songwriter and amazing voice. Gorgeous

Mark- He did his job on Animalize

Bruce- Super sweet. He was the cutie of the group during revenge era ngl. Paul had competition.

Eric S- Seems really funny. got a nice tight body. seems every KISS drummer has a nice bod.

Tommy- Loyal and hard working. I can see why KISS kept him. Honestly he'd the kind of guy you want in your group.

7. What do you dislike about each member?

Gene- Condescending. I can see he has some views on things that I'd butt heads with him on

Paul- Overly critical of others, may come across cold. He scares me. y'all see his posts for new years???? He can come across very hurtful in his choice of words

Peter- Bitter (in the past it seems) and tbh some of the shit I read and heard that unfortunately was allowed to slide (sometimes even passed off as "funny" stories). It's a sensitive topic for me.

Ace- like Peter, awful things said and done that cannot be solely blamed on addiction which I'm very glad he recovered from btw. I'm honestly glad I never put this man on a pedestal and it's not just because "he's human like the rest of us". lol I love him but I'm glad I've been exposed to the bad early on this obsession so I don't have any unrealistic ideas about ppl, you know? I think I need to sleep with him to sort out these feelings lol

Eric C- I don't know that much to comment and feels almost unfair because he was taken away from us much too soon

Vinnie- stop scamming people omg. the insanity and charging ppl for memberships and you haven't released shit???

Mark- don't know about him. can't comment

Bruce- Maybe too nice for his own good.

Eric S- I don't know. Should have created a sex tape with Gene

Tommy- Kinda weird seeing him try to mimic Ace's facial expressions. One thing to imitate solos and his space persona but his mannerisms? I dunno just weird to see someone mimic what Ace's face naturally does? Kissy pouty lips only work for Ace

8. How did you get into KISS?

years ago, just bombarded with their imagery and sound on TV shows

9. Have you been to a concert?

Their last show. Crushing, I know

10. Do you have any merch?

I have a shirt

11. Unique thing you have related to KISS?

None, sadly. Like I have nothing solid if that's what you mean. anything that may have in common? sure but feels too personal to share here

12. Who is/are your favourite lineup?

This is hard because early 90s KISS was TIGHT. but I'll always love the original 4, but sweet Foxy and Brucie is so precious

13. What's your favourite era?

FUCCKKK....see this is hard. I have a big soft spot for Dynasty/Unmasked but I also love DTK and HTH

14. What are your opinions on Tommy and Eric?

They did their job. If they hadn't stepped in I wouldn't have seen KISS final show and for that I am grateful. I enjoyed their participation.

15. A question you would ask the band if you could?

I'd ask if I could suck their dick. That's tough. What haven't they've been asked before? Honestly I got some questions for Ace that's been bugging me and I know I'd never get them answered unless I knew him personally and had a real heart-to-heart conversion. I dunno I can only go off from a fan's perspective about how that'll go

16. What other bands/artists are you into?

Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Stromae, used to really like Adam Ant, The Sweet, OLP, Franz Ferdinand, Daft Punk. I listen to all kinds of genres and artists so I like what I like

17. Do you have a KISSona?

Don't have one. I'm assuming like a fursona? lol

18. Who are some of your favourite blogs?

@ladyshandioftheendless @elrohare @silverstarfoxx (thank you for tolerating all my pestering! never hesitate to reach out to me for more Ace goodies!) @notpaulsguitar @ohblackdiamond (though tbh I swear you have answered this lol) @space-frehley-22 @spacefoxy (resident eric carr connoisseur) @speckster (you have crazy ass edits) and same goes for @bangbangyou love your funny memes. the IP address as a response always gets me lol @starry-eyed-never-satisfied (you already did this but adding you here anyway fellow Paulie enjoyer!) There's many more I wish I could just mass tag KISS blogs lol. There are blogs that are no longer active but I am glad they are still around

19. If you could spend a day with one member who would it be?

Hard because I love Paul but he scares me. I think I'd need more than a day to get comfortable with him. I'd love to spend a day with Eric C or Bruce because they seem the nicest. Maybe I'd love to hang with Peter now. Gene, may be fun. He's a good talker. Though it be fun to get one-on-one time with Ace. I'd love a tour of all his tech and then we can compare and just geek out on technology.

20. How would you explain the band to someone who isn't familiar with KISS?

I don't know. Honestly the other people who answered this already gave greats explanations. So many pass judgment on them without giving them a chance. They're a one-of-a-kind experience. There will never be a band like them.

[shatterthefragments]

💚🥀💍?

💚 - What’s your favourite colour?

Probably blue 🌊 especially with the variations~ but if a specific shade of blue: the tealy blue of the ocean where the trees reflect down into the water as well.

But i also. After starting to paint: yellow ochre is one of my favourites as well 😍💖(i hardly use yellow but if i see yellow ochre I have to get it so I have So Much yellow ochre and i need to use it more! 😁)

🥀 - Favourite animated movie?

I think How To Train Your Dragon!!!

Watched it/the sequel with one of my friends back when they lived here!! 🥰💖 one acquaintance(?)’s brother says First go best go, and this is the first thing in my head!! 😁💖

💍 - Do you ever want to get married?

I think so yeah?

What this looks like has shifted so dramatically though (yes I’m focus g on the celebration here rn) . From the first wedding I’ve ever attended being a LAVISH Chinese wedding in the city to Ah That Costs Money (also fuck tradition if all i want is the crab claw i could just buy it) to will i ever be loved to I think i am loveable to *screaming* to being unsure to oh yeah a small ceremony and small family dinner after would be nice to I don’t want to eat indoors with some of those fuckers who no longer wear a mask to wanting that legal protection of being integrally linked to one another’s beings for hospital trips etc. to being able to protect each other. To being so SURE of our love that we will endure and hopefully joyfully celebrate as we go through our intertwined lives together.

But uh. I don’t have a good role model in this life for married people atm. So it’s extremely difficult to believe in it.

Tethered. Beholden. Required.

I dream of being Loved. Fully and wholly and romantically by at least one person I think, though I’m unsure of IF we have any legal protections here even though the cutie I ran into at the bus the other month(year?) runs a polyamory advocacy group but I also don’t for sure know either way if I’m monogamous or not???(feelings are confusing,, I’m just open for anything unless I say no and it turns out I’m not I guess?????). (Or is it the amatonormativity?? But I’ve always been a bit of a romantic at heart so I think it’s probably im. Actually romantic and it’s not just that. Not just that it’s “expected” of me).

I mean. By the time I start dating etc we’ll have to reevaluate if legally it makes sense, especially with my taxes if I do take on art as more than just a couple craft fairs a year, HOWEVER we have common law marriage up here and if i (or them) become disabled (to the point of having the status as) I’m unsure of how that effects all that bc if i recall it’s six months living together as a couple. (Which seems super short to me?????)

But uh. You know what. Yeah I think so.

It would be nice to have that legal link were anything to ever happen to one of us.

On a less serious note I simply Do Not know if I could ever wear a ring if I was married.

I could try. I could probably get away with a ring under a glove at work rn

But more importantly- jewellery is a bit of a sensory nightmare and I can’t make myself wear very much!!! Maybe I could wear it as a pin instead idk 🤷🏻

So uh. Yeah I think I would like to get married one day

If you had asked me even five years ago it would’ve been a resounding YES PLEASE. Unsure of and not thinking about it for now ✌️✨

[thegoldenshi-shi]

Hello Shi-Shi! It’s been a while since I’ve messaged; I always say ‘I’ll message soon, not in a month or so again!’ And then the time flies and it’s already a month since I messaged. Time sure does go fast these days.

I haven’t been up to much except more driving and school. Of course, softball has started up again! It’s Mondays and Wednesdays, while I still have Gun Club going on, which is Tuesday and Thursdays. But my competition is coming up, so Gun Club will be ending soon. I have a softball game today, so that’s exciting!

Despite not talking for a while, I do still come to your page to check out all your amazing art! I really like the Sunny drawings (ofc, he’s one of my favourite characters along with Prowl, Jazz, Sideswipe and Bluestreak ^^)

Also, I saw your thing about the Zine! I Hope you get in, I saw it and I was considering applying but I have quite a few things happening and one of the zines I’m in is coming to a close soon. It’s the Representation Zine!

I was hoping soon, maybe my next message, I won’t put the Anon on and the mystery of who is Meister would be resolved haha. I won’t lie, I like being anonymous 100%, it is a feeling of secrecy and once I stop being anonymous, that goes away but I’ve messaged you for around a year now.

Anyways, I’ve been off and on writing this as I am in school atm, so I’ll end it here. Have a good day/night Shi-Shi!!

-Meister

Hi Meister! It's so good to hear from you again~

You've got a lot going on from the sounds of things. I don't think I could scrape the energy up to do much other than vegetate in my room after so many activities, much less message somebody as frequently as you message me. I'm in literal awe of your stamina Meister O.O Still, all of that must be exciting! I hope you did well in your softball game and are having a lot of fun in your other clubs (and driving) hehe.

It pains me that I don't have more Transformers art to offer right now. For some reason I just can't find that robot art spark right now? But I'm glad you liked the latest pieces ^J^

It's also exciting to hear that you're almost done with another zine project. The last stretch is always the scariest, so good luck (assuming you haven't already finished your submission hehe).

I haven't done a zine in a while, and honestly this one makes me a little nervous. I have zero experience with Genshin Impact zines and almost zero presence in the fandom there, so we'll have to see how it goes. So I guess it's good luck to both of us~

I can't believe it's been a year since you've started popping up in my little corner of the internet. It seems like it's been no time at all and like it's been years and years at the same time. Like I say every time, I'm interested in the username behind the anon, but take your own sweet time coming out from behind the anon shield. The secrecy is fun, and I rarely come out from behind it myself so no judgy faces here. A little mystery can keep life interesting too~

Thank you for the update, and I hope you have a lovely day/night Meister. It's always a pleasure~

interests:

omg i love so many things its not even funny. a few important ones are waluigi (special interest), sonic the hedgehog (special interest AND hyperfixation (omg please kill me)), art (like, as a general thing, but particularly visual) and you WILL find me randomly posting oh-so-passionately about something ive never even mentioned before.

i do animation and illustration but that's over on my art blog. also all my animations are WIPs. you probably won't find anything other than a few weird lip syncs from when i was like 11 (i got into animation because of gacha life and animation memes). most of my art is sonic atm lol.

i also read and write fanfic! my wattpad and ao3 is jupitercl0uds :D

wattpad is mostly old stuff, crack and occasional reposts of my ao3 stuff. ao3 is mostly whatever is on my mind at the moment and WSWE.

misc

occasionally i get all heated up about actually important stuff. that's usually sandwiched inbetween my regular goofy goober behaviour. for the basic gist of it: very left wing, the tories are cunts, vote green, free palestine. you also need to understand the weight of that sentence because i hate swearing.

i have other socials too but i dont really use them that much. got bored of twitter and i forget about all my other accounts. only ones i use now are whatsapp (lmao), tumblr and i guess ao3 and wattpad. theres no real point in linking something i havent used in months

anyway, have a nice day and please go to bed on time!

faves (non-exhaustive)

AUTISM BOY!!!! ANXIETY GUY!!!! MILES 'TAILS' PROWER!!!! he's been my favourite sonic character since i was little!!!! except for that brief period where it was amy because i found out tails was a boy and i, as a 7-year-old girl who had just learned about misoginy, decided amy was better because she was a girl. and that briefer period where it was cream because she had confetti in sonic dash.

my favourite iterations of him are scu tails, classic tails and sonic boom tails!!! i h/c him as autistic, having anxiety, low self-esteem but also being really cheerful and nonchalant about a lot of stuff. i enjoy trans tails of all kinds, but i believe in cis gnc tails.

NON-BINARY ICON!!!! TOP SURGERY GUY!!!! WALUIGI!!!! call me thomas jefferson cause i have an entire binder on this guy. waluigi is THE blorbo from my spin-off-party-shows. i got into him because 'hahahaha! it is the funny garlic man's funny rose partner!' and that became 'they could marry me and i'd say yes on the basis that we'd get to see each other everyday, even if i only love him as a friend.

im very passionately hateful about 'hot' waluigi. shut up. waluigi is perfect. i hope he can be canon one day <3 i h/c him as autistic, transmasc non binary and really into gothic lolita. i interpret their relationship with wario as romantic partners and waluigi being super super poor. also, wlw mlm solidarity with rosalina!!!!!

anti-faves

dr starline i love a bisexual icon as much as the next person but starline is not it. i want him to Suffer. which is why i then go on to make loads of fanart of him where he's crying over something. in the one shown above, i have just kicked him in the balls (full image). i also would love to be a VA for him because that'd really piss him off. good style tho. you go girl.

manjimutt (sorry but i only have 1 image of him)

hello to the other living yokai watch fan out there. i hate manjimutt. when i was younger i felt sorry for him, cause i was like 'oh, poor guy, always going to jail!!!' no. die. i do not like him. i hate manjimutt. i do like saying his name tho. MAnji-mutt! i think i hate him more than starline, because at least starline has redeeming qualities. the only redeeming qualities manjimutt has is pity because hes not actually committing crimes. thats it. hes not a nice person. hes just a guy. hit him with a wooden plank (har har).

that poor poor poodle though

posts i like

idk posts on my own blog i like a lot. idk if thisll be A Thing because im literally only doing tthis because of the first post on the list

recognising a url and the chaos that followed

stuff about my lgbtq+ identity idk

THIS IS HOW MUCH I KNOW ABOUT SONIC OK!!!!!

can you call me that slur?

tagged by @changingcore / 15 questions for 15 mutuals (oh fuck do i even have that many)

are you named after anyone? - birth name, nope. does it count if i got my chosen name from a fictional character??

when was the last time you cried? - this morning!! nothing 2 be concerned about i got woken up by the fire alarm (also nothing to be concerned about it just needs the battery replaced) and was so tired & upset i started crying, which happens. more often than i would like. hm. maybe i named myself after the wrong afton kid

do you have kids? - nope!! i do like interacting with them though but only like 3 max at a time JFJRJFNG

do you use sarcasm a lot? - irl yes, online only sparingly. & i make it very exaggerated not usually deadpanned or anything so people can Tell (which of course nobody needs except for Me but i digress)

what sports do you play/have played? - did soccer when i was a little kid (Hated It), was on a swim team for a while, and did marching band for the longest (which is my favorite and yes it counts as a sport and you cannot say it doesn't until you've been in marching band. cunt)

what's the first thing you notice about other people? - typically clothes and then hair! i have a relatively mild (but still pretty bad compared to ppl without it) case of face-blindness, and i CANNOT tell people apart by their faces at all unless they have smth like a bunch of facial piercings or a scar or smth Noticable so i tend to look at other things first.

eye colour? - ??? hazel-brown ??? no idea tbh but at least partially brown

scary movies or happy endings? - HAPPY ENDINGS. i am soso scared of scary movies i will gladly watch the little prince for the 60th time. Alternate Universe - Everybody Lives / Nobody Dies is one of my favorite tags on ao3.

any special talents? - ? What does this mean. i guess proofreading/editing?? i have always LOVED doing it and i just. naturally keep track of all the Language Rules and enjoy using them. the autism kicking in i suppose. and yes it does count as a special talent actually you would not BELIEVE how many candies i got in 5th grade from ppl bribing me to read over their essays.

where were you born? - arizona/usa. same town as my mom actually (despite her moving like 7 times in between her birth and mine)

what are your hobbies? - listen to music and pace around my room until i pass out. and painting, writing, drawing, various other arts n crafts, guitar, percussion when i have the chance (rn i only have a practice pad :|), and mobile games of heavily varying quality.

how tall are you? - 5'11" now!!! was hovering around 5'7"-8" for the longest time but i recently had a growth spurt and now im only the SECOND shortest in my family (out of six)

favourite subject in school? - by the material probably math! it is sometimes difficult for me to get a concept but once i do it's Easy. i also do have an advantage (parent has math degree and is good at explaining) but i try and make up for it by helping everyone else as much as i can jfjdndjf. by the Class def band/music class if that counts. both of my music teachers have been both very scary yet very nice to me and i loved their classes so so much and i extremely enjoy playing instruments with other people (when they behave)

dream job? - sorting pokemon cards in a comfortable chair as a day job with a 4 day workweek, being a freelance renowned fiction editor on my own time, with occasional music-related gigs (tutoring, repairing stuff, playing in concerts, etc). i give you no shit if i could do that for the rest of my life and get paid well enough to live on my own or with roommates i like, have a cat, and have enough time and energy to homecook a meal 3-4 nights a week i would be so happy. that's all i want in life. "oh you would get bored doing the same thing day in day out" no i wouldn't "how" autism.

20 Questions for fic writers

Tagged by @barry-j-blupjeans (thank you!!!)

tagging @sgrumby and anyone who wants to play!!

1. How many works do you have on A03?

132

2. What's your total A03 word count?

568,150! half a million!!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mainly TAZ Balance and Star Wars (Prequels/TCW era, mostly), but I've written a fair amount for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the past, and I'll sometimes write a fic here or there for other fandoms.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

They're all Star Wars fics, which makes sense but makes me kind of sad because I love my other fics too. But oh well:

still much that is fair.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Jedi Code, and Other Things That Anakin Has Misunderstood

Take Two

brothers don't let each other wander in the dark alone

growing season (absolutely BLEW MY MIND that this one is in my top five now. It's a one-shot kidfic for a pairing I don't write often?? I'm not used to those getting notes. But I guess it is the Codywan era for prequels fans so I can see where it's coming from.)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! But sometimes I don't have the spoons for it. But I love getting comments and want to show my appreciation!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't usually write super angsty endings! I don't like them. Or, well, actually I do enjoy them sometimes, but IDK, if I'm writing a whole-ass fic, I usually want to make the ending happy!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending

still much that is fair! which is wild because it has one of the angstiest premises I've ever written (suicide attempt that all loved ones believed to be successful, ends with characters giving each other hugs and 'love yous' and closure)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Rarely. Every once in a while. Sometimes people don't like me writing autistic headcanons or characters mentioning pronouns.

9. Do you write smut?

No. I'm not opposed to it in fic, but it doesn't interest me.

10. Do you write crossovers?

No, but I'll read them sometimes. I'm not opposed to writing them, but I've never really gotten an idea for one that inspires me.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of! I did once have someone warn me that my fic was 're-posted' to ao3 back in the days when I was still posting on both ffnet and ao3 with different usernames.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, actually, though I forgot about it until asked! It's not one I ever posted. I co-wrote a Maximum Ride fic with a friend in middle school, lol. But I'd love to co-write again in the future! It's fun to talk about ideas with friends.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

All-time favorite ship is SO hard for me because I'm a multishipper and I flipflop fandoms a lot, so I kind of default to my first (and still beloved) ship: Janeway/Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager. I'm also gonna answer for my two main fandoms atm: Star Wars is Obi-Wan/Satine and TAZ Balance is Barry Bluejeans/Lup/Lucretia, because I love a good polycule. Also Barry and Lup on their own are great but they remind me too much of my parents to really go wild over them.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Be My Brother's Keeper. A Darcy Lewis is Tony Stark's daughter AU. I love that one and I had PLANS for it, but my Marvel days are so long gone.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm good at coming up with creative, unique ideas and making them work!! People often say that they didn't expect to like my fics from the premise but enjoyed them anyway. :3 I'm also good at character interactions and emotions

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Describing things, mainly visual things that are happening. They're just there, in the fanfic, not in a physical location to me. Also staying motivated to finish writing and avoiding derailing my own ideas with wanting to include EVERYTHING.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I haven't done it before but I'm not opposed!

19. fandom you wrote for?

Like, first fandom? Nancy Drew. I wrote a Nancy Drew fanfic when I was eight years old on looseleaf notebook paper, before I knew that anyone else wrote fanfic. In it, Nancy fell down a hole, broke her leg, everyone who loved her thought she was dead and they were all soso sad, but then they found her and it ended happily. My tastes have not evolved much since, but my writing ability has!

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Changes often! Currently it is The Parent Trap(ped in an Umbrella) but I'm also quite fond of Still Much That Is Fair and one more last try, I'm gonna get the ending right.

[queenofthieves]

for the infamous ask: bandname, persona, and seven? 🫶

Thank you, Dani c: <3

Band name: How did they and the others come up with the band name? Has the name changed since it was founded?

So on my side of things: atm the band name might change, but I went with Entropy. Mainly because it was a name for another oc who I love, but who's background has since been scrapped. It's also a scientific concept I enjoyed learning so I guess the band decided the same heheh. It kinda goes with a theme they've been using of bringing the chaos, their groupchat is 'chaos bringers' and the fandom name Maya gave them is 'chaotics.' So for now it's sticking, and if it changes then I'll just think of smth else

for the band: I think similar to what I said ^ probably a concept that they thought was fun to learn about, and that it would be a fun band name c: I think that they discussed changing the name after Seven left, and ultimately decided that Entropy fit them best and that just because they're down a member doesn't mean they have to start new.

Persona: How does their day-to-day personality compare to their on-stage persona?

answered

Seven: Do you have headcanons about their friendship and/or romantic relationship (past or future)? What do you imagine some of their best memories are? What do you think some of Seven’s favourite things about your MC were/are?

heheheh >:3 the besties to lovers to exes to future lovers

I imagine some of their best memories before getting together was attending shows together, rocking out and getting fast food afterwards with friends. Music is something so important to the both of them that sharing in the experience of seeing each other's favorite groups was very special.

Then there's also the moments after school where they'd have all this time together, because Seven's mom was working and Crystal's parents were just absent. They'd watch movies together and commentate about the parts of the movies that make no sense.

By the time they get into a romantic relations the two have spent so much time with one another they're practically woven together. Their are threads of Crystal in Seven, and threads of Seven in Crystal.

After their relationship ends, the pieces they hold of each other are hard to drop. Even weirder, I imagine, is seeing each other years later. They've both grown and changed in ways, it's hard to see someone that was everything to you and suddenly there's difference and pieces you don't know. Seven sees this as Crystal severing herself from her. And Crystal sees this and wishes she could've been there for Seven and see these parts of her develop.

I think some of Seven's favorite things about Crystal is the way she can always make her laugh, how she expresses herself through music, and her ability to make everyone in the band believe in themselves.

Hello!!! For the ask game numbers 1, 21, 28 and 30? Hope you're having a good day <3 🌷🪻🌺🌻💐

haiiii !!!! I’m having a good day! I hope urs is going well too, beautiful!!!

what color do you associate with your muse?

There’s this very dear shade of purplish blue that I’ve only seen in some hortensia flowers and the sky at specific times. It’s hard to capture on photograph but there is some of it in here:

I refer to it as periwinkle lavender. It probably has a name tho…Shuu blue…

Also! Anytime I see purple and red I’m like…Oh? Shuu Tsukiyama reference? 🤨

21. Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

Yes! I think if the Universe is so terribly vast, then we cannot be the only ones! I doubt we’ll ever meet them, though. I think the closest we will come to encountering aliens within our galaxy is if they discover microorganisms or something fairly primordial - still extremely interesting to a nerd like me, but I imagine most people would be disappointed!

28. Metal, folk, pop, or ambient?

Pop! I guess my favourite artist is pop? I listen to a lot of hyperpop and trance, Eurobeat, that sort of thing - i really love y2k/millennia type stuff. I’ve been listening to jrock recently. I find I like subgenres mostly. I don’t rly listen to a lot of modern mainstream pop outside of MARINA and Dua Lipa. :)

30. Most used emoji?

Atm i think it’s this one 😭 or 😔 . I use this one 🥹 whenever i talk abt shuu so that’s up there

My favourite one atm is 👹 and i like the little animal ones a lot. The shark 🦈 has a lovely face. I’m trying to use more rare ones so i can milk them for comedic effect 🏩 <- like what is that. A brothel emoji? Silly.

Thank you for ask!!!! Have a wonderful day! :D

Get to Know Me Tag

tagged by @jourquet❤️ thanks for the tag! I love doing these!

Do you make your bed?

Yes, I normally make my bed to some degree. My work space is in the same room so tidiness helps me to think more easily.

What's your favourite number?

Four. From when I was a child, and decided bunnies are my favorite animals (still are) because they have four feet (not paws bc they don't have padding - they surely could need it, but they have not been blessed with it yet.)

What is your job?

I am unemployed at the moment. (Someone hire me, please!)

If you could go back to school, would you?

I could and the answer is no since my next step would be a Master. I'm not really that into doing research. I'd rather help convey it.

Can you parallel park?

I don't have my licence yet, so I'd say no, but I'm getting there.

A job you had that would surprise people?

I haven't had enough jobs to answer this question.

Do you think aliens are real?

I believe that extraterrestial life exists, yes.

Can you drive a manual car?

No, and don't plan to.

What's your guilty pleasure?

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. Enjoy what you enjoy. What other people think is not your issue. Especially, not about small things like what series or music or books brings you joy.

Favorite color?

Green or blue.

Do you like puzzles?

If they are easy enough. I don't want to spend hours stuck on one piece. It makes me stressed and annoyed, just like "adult coloring books." Too many small pieces. It simply takes too long and I want to get done with the project faster.

Any phobias?

I am terrified of going to the dentist and having to get jabbed in my gums with anesthetics. (I have 5 holes and going to the dentist atm and I need to pull a wisdom tooth later, literally rip me.)

Favorite childhood sport?

Soccer.

Do you talk to yourself?

All the time. I am an endless monologue of worry versus me trying to calm myself down over a threat that's not even in the presence yet.

What movies do you adore?

2010s YA fantasy book adaption is the era (and genre) that I live for. It doesn't matter that they are bad, not close enough to the book. This is what feel-good movies are to me, and I just want to feel comfortable, recognoize some elements, and not nitpicking it. Honorable mentions: divergent, the hunger games, the maze runner, beautiful creatures.

Coffee or tea?

None. I don't like any of them. I drink water, chocolate milk, or hot chocolate instead. Eager for those who want to create a fourth alternative tho, that can be drunk without all the added sugar and I actually enjoy.

First thing you wanted to be growing up?

Princess, I guess. Thought beyond that, I've never dreamed of "becoming" anything specific for work. I'm much more value driven than I am , and I early found that being satisfied with my life wasn't a specific job - it was how I approach life, which interests I find purpose in, and how I feel about what I'm doing. Most of that relies on friendships, self-worth, exercises I enjoy, feelings of accomplishment. "This is the specific road I must take to fulfill xvz" doesn't work for me. I hope to get a job related to sustainability, sharing (videreformidle) information, or culture, like museums or libraries. The future will show where I end up. You'll probably learn it if you stick around on here.

[jeysbvck]

Hiii mate, me again 😅So I did a thing the other day and watched the whole ep of this week's nxt 🫣

I enjoyed it more than I expected, they be coooking there 😳 Hate to say this but some of their matches and promos seem even better than the main roster atm 😒; more entertaining, and believable as in it doesn't seem as forced as some of the spots on Raw & SmackDown rn 🙄. Their moves in the ring are also more varied and hard hitting and they even seem to utilise/book their talent better at nxt 😌

But I could be completely wrong considering I got all that from just a glimpse into nxt. 😂 I'm probably going to get smacked for saying all this by anyone who sees this post (including you). 😆😆😮‍💨✌🏾

I guess I'll have to keep a bit of an eye on nxt from now on 😌, just now and then to keep up (although may be not the whole 2hrs). 😆You can probably see my frustration for the main scene atm seeping in through this post 😅

(possibly it's because they are trying to rush everything rn trying to fit it all in before Wrestlemania 🤔 hyper focusing on some stories and not focusing enough on others 🤨)

On a side note:

Let your followers get to know you asks -

2, 6, 9, 11, 18, 25 anwer as many as you like 😊

🐨

hi friend!😊 so good to hear from you again!! how have you been?!

im SO glad you enjoyed nxt!! you're totally right, it's probably the best wwe show right now!! (i wanted to say that when i was imploring you to watch, but i didn't want to sway you either way, so im glad you saw what we all see!!😊)

it's also so cringy sometimes, but in the best way truly!! it doesn't take itself so seriously, and i think the main roster could use some of that! (even tho the main roster is now seemingly becoming more funny!) my issue with the main roster is how rushed the usos story feels, like they could've done a little more to build that match, but also i truly don't care bc my guys gonna win at mania!!😍😍😍 i also have a few other opinions on the mania card, but overall im SO EXCITED for mania weekend (especially since its gonna be my first stand & deliver!!)

ask game! thank u for being interested in getting to know lil old me!!🤭 -

for how long have you had this account? - oh wow, this specific account? i think since 2015!

do you have pets? - i do!! i have a 10 year old dog called jake, & a 2 (maybe 3) year old cat 🥰

whats your all time favourite movie/tv show? - oh this is SO hard😩 i think i have to say either hercules/the winter soldier for movie, & for tv show adventure time/friends! 😊

are you an introvert or extrovert? - im an introvert. i barely leave my house & i have one friend that i see in person around 2 or 3 times a year😩

do you like reading? if yes, whats your favourite book? - i love reading!! i just got back into it this year & im so glad ive been able to do so!! my favourite book is either seven husbands of evelyn hugo or daisy jones & the six, growing up it was the secret garden (or anything from jacqueline wilson or enid blyton!)

are you a morning or night person? - definitely night person!
