From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

        I’d say a 3.5. I’m proud of my work, but there’s always room to grow and improve. 

2. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

        I think my writing style focuses a lot on the complexity of the inner emotions the characters feel. I like to take a lot of time fleshing out their inner selves that way when there’s dialogue or they commit a specific act, readers are able to say to themselves “yea, this is very them”. All in all, I like a lot of emotion. 

3. Are there any writers that inspire you?

        My fellow writers café members inspire me! Everyone has such different styles and ideas, it really makes me want to be more innovative. I don’t really have any specific muses, to be honest–the fanfiction fandom in general makes me want to write and see my ideas developed.

4. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

        “Take Me Into Your Arms, Siren’s Call” and “Dance In The Dark”. 

5. Which character(s) do you find easiest to write and which do you find most difficult to write?

        Steve Rogers for sure is my easiest. I love that man with my entire being and have dissected him and my interpretation of him so many times. I find Geralt of Rivia a bit difficult to write, hence why there’s no work for him.

6. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most?

        There’s not really a who, more like a what–my emotional wounds. Writing is used as a tool for me to not only bring my ideas to life, but use them as vessels to work out these emotions and proverbially close that chapter of my life by turning them into something positive. 

7. Tell us about a WIP you’re excited about!

        I have a very cute “Spy x Family” meets “The Incredibles” one shot for Miguel O’Hara in the works featuring Filipina!Reader, Gabriella O’Hara, and reader’s daughter hehe 

8. First fandom you ever wrote for?

        I’m really gonna expose myself here…it was for Black Veil Brides LMAOOOO 

9. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)?

        GIRL (gender neutral); black cat gf x golden retriever bf, the mean one being soft for the sunshine one, enemies to lovers, reincarnation. 

10. A trope you’ll never, ever write for.

        Mafia/mob boss. I have one singular wip with that trope and after that, I’m retiring it. Cannot stand it, no offense. 

11. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

        Definitely my demon! Lee Bodecker and ghost!Steve Rogers fics. Those were RIDES.

12. Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!)

ENEMIES TO LOVERS, BLACK CAT GF x GOLDEN RETRIEVER BF, and THE GRUMPY ONE BEING SOFT FOR THE SUNSHINE ONE. I clearly have a preference. 

13. Do you listen to anything while you write?

        Either bossanova, classical music, jazz, lo-fi, or a playlist I made specifically for whatever I’m writing.

14. One-shots or multi-chaptered works?

I don’t have a preference tbh. they’re both very impactful, it just depends on the plot in question. 

15. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic? Tell us about them!

yES ALL THE TIME. especially for fluff pieces with family dynamics, I always wanna create little side drabbles in the style of “modern family” like they have their very own sitcom. 

16. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

writing for Geralt of Rivia. The deep lore for The Witcher seems like a lot of ground to cover. 

17. What’s the nicest comment you’ve ever received?

I can’t remember anything specific, but my fic “Take Me Into Your Arms, Siren’s Call” received a good amount of super meaningful feedback from Filipino readers that meant a lot to me. They expressed how much it meant for them to be seen, especially in a fantasy-fairy tale like story that incorporated our culture.

18. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out?

Yes, lore building for “Take Me Into Your Arms, Siren’s Call”! I’ve never written anything in the fantasy genre, so that was definitely a challenge. It turned out amazing. I loved writing it and that fic is one that is near and dear to my heart. 

19. Tooth-rotting fluff or merciless angst?

I’m a fucking baby and I can only have angst if it’s followed with fluff…..but I do love angst.

20. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

EEEEEE I currently have one OC for a re-write of my series called “Keeping Up With The Starks”. Her name is Camila Santos Stark, a Filipina-American who is the only daughter of Tony Stark. She’s a spoiled heiress but is definitely a no-nonsense woman who you do not want to underestimate. She’s described by others around her as the rational version of Tony–the snark is there, but so are a bunch of other characteristics that Tony doesn’t possess. Steve Rogers is her love interest. He thought she was a spoiled brat, but look who fell in love!

21. If you could enter the universe of any one of your fics, which would it be and why?

Definitely “Take Me Into Your Arms, Siren’s Call” – it’s pure fantasy which sounds amazing. Plus, Namor! 

22. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process?

Eh, there’s nothing really interesting going on behind the scenes–I just write at night with a candle lit. 

23. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.

        “I’m a beauty, I’m a beast, it defends on the feast” – “So Cool” by Dounia

24. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

        If writing frustrates you, that’s a sign for you to step away and take a break. If you initially started writing because you love it, continue to lead with love–don’t kill the joy.

Nine People To Get To Know Better

Note: uh ohh here I am, 7 days fashionably late, properly embarrassed by the fact that I forgot to finish and post this and instead just saved it to my drafts like the mess I am, BUT I still wanna post it, though with a face as red as a tomato.. also I'm too embarrassed to tag anyone, whoever reads this is very welcome to act as if I tagged them, we all deserve a little love <3

Am humbled to have been tagged by @starkspi (thank you so much! I, too see you on my dash & notifs a lot and it's always a pleasure)

Last Song I Listened to: Borislav Slavov's Raphael's Final Act (gods I'm laughing about that one, just checked my spotify and yea.. in my defence, I listen to ambient music whenever I am at home and this most definitely is ambience to me) starting a petition for an official ambient version to be released on spotify..

Currently Watching: rewatching Sabrina The Teenage Witch & Modern Family

Sweet/Savory/Spicy?: really wanna go full Geralt and refuse to choose, but for the sake of honesty, I could never go without sweet foods

Relationship Status: as they say, taken (I do not know where to tho yet)

Current Obsession: no brain, only Baldur's Gate in it, oh and sewing

Last Thing I Googled: searched for a cat's heart rate, as I keep forgetting theirs is wayyy higher and it freaks me tf out sometimes

BASICALLY Osvald's story is a revenge story. His wife and daughter were killed and he was sent to prison so he escapes to avenge them. When he escapes, he finds out his daughter is alive and changes his goal to saving her from the murderer because the murderer altered her memories so she doesn't know her dad at all.

1. Magic

Throughout his entire story, they talk about "the one true magic" (OTM). Osvald is trying to figure out what OTM is and finally accidentally uses it in the final chapter. The source of magic was love so he loved his daughter so much, he accidentally used never before hidden magic to protect her and I think that's super sweet

2. His daughter

Problem is, after saving his daughter, he hands her over to an old friend and abandons her. He keeps talking about how much he loves his daughter and how he only lives for her, but he doesn't seem to actually care about her because he abandons her so quickly.

3. Revenge

He's CONVINCED revenge will make him feel better but his friend keeps telling him over and over that revenge won't bring them back and he'll just feel empty. This is remedied by having him decide to save his daughter instead of kill his wife's killer.

4. Father figure

He's like a dad to the other main characters and I love father figure characters so very much because they're just so silly. I love Seteth a lot for a lot of the same reasons as Osvald.

5. Design

Physically huge, big hair, looks absolutely terrifying but turns out he's just kinda sad and autistic.

I hate Osvald but I also really really love him and feel like he was done dirty by the devs. One of the fics I'm writing about him is a rewrite of his story because I didn't like the ending. I'll reblog this post with my favorite official art of him.

Whoa. I didn't even know my Ask Box could actually allow a long post until right now and I'm actually glad this is the Ask that showed me the world way

Wait, so... is Osvald a scholarly guy? Or a mercenary kinda guy? He does magic in the end, so... scholarly guy? A mercenary-wizard type?

---

Father Doing Everything For His Daughter is truly a classic! It's mostly always Father and Daughter too (I don't remember one that involves a father and a son. Strange. When it's a father and his son, it's usually about a rivalry...). The character that fits this archetype that I know of, is Geralt of Rivia. The Witcher! And yea, he's also pretty silly. Maybe it's just part of the Fatherhood package; Dad Jokes complimentary.

And yet they are also frequently depicted as rather wise and learned. Paternalistic, even. Seteth was like that!

YES PICTURE! PICTURE! PICTURE!

I'm looking forward to season 3 but it's also bittersweet that he will no longer be geralt.. yea I'm still salty about it

HENRY CAVILL as Geralt of Rivia Witcher Season 3 | June 29, 2023

[thewhiteoneofrivia]

[thewhizzyhead]

the amount of dodging i do in The Witcher 3 because of my low-levelled Geralt's pisspoor armor and health just proves that if i ever play Elden Ring or any of the dark souls games, I would either end up as a certified dodging master worthy of battling a Dark Souls boss or start completely bawling out of frustration in the first 15 minutes of me playing it

[maddyshome]

I don’t know why I think Jaskier and Geralt are 100% opposite zodiac signs like maybe pisces (jaskier) and virgo (geralt) or EVEN MORE LIKELY leo (jaskier) and aquarius (geralt)

[olhetti]

Some fae!Geralt art I did inspired by Wicked Things by @redkelpie! It really is a great fic that I literally just re-read because I looked in there for references. :P

Started out trying to be realistic, but eventually realized I really just couldn't get the right expression.

So here's the best I could do on realizing-your-friend-has-no-survival-instinct-and-wondering-how-he's-still-alive.

Bonus attempt at a different scene!

[gridelinart]

this post is for................they

jaskier is unequivocally the best character in the show (+ i hope i get to interact w him in the games) so i did some doodles of the two of them bc their dynamic is just SO enthralling

like yes give me a man who believes himself a monster with the only person who’s ever treated him like a human. love tha t

[outofmymindbebacklater]

the Witcher Netflix seems to have convinced the fandom that it's like this,

geralt: I'm a monster, nobody can love me :(

jaskier: no you're not <3 I'll love you

geralt: no we're not friends >:(

when really it's like this lol

book geralt: yea I'm a monster, that's my lot in life

book dandelion: oh stop fucking whining, anyway it's great to see you

book geralt: dandelion, my friend, how are you

[lana-1526]

another fae!jaskier thing

Expanding off of my previous one. I like to think that summer is a very happy preppy kind of gal with very provocative clothing like borderline prostitute just to mess with humans. Fall encourages this and also dresses up the same lmao. Jaskier as spring probs did it as well at one point, most especially to just mess with Geralt. And winter probably have done it only once but is just very like the eldest sibling amongst them even though technically they were all born at the same time.  I also like the idea of bird wings for the fae? But more specifically for winter and summer. Not sure what wings I want for Jaskier or for fall honestly. ALSO that there is like different courts yea?? like faery courts that are for each season but there is another court (more like a council of high fae) that essentially rules all the others  and that’s where the four seasons are in, in that high council along with a high queen fae. Like there are different courts dedicated per season but the season fae (Jask and his siblings) don’t exactly rule it as they’re much too busy with their tasks for keeping the seasons in balance. The ones that do rule it are kind of like devoted or their powers are more oriented to their season. 

Edit:

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

[radiofreeilium]

I’d be interested! Even tho u dont know me and probably dont care I feel like it’d be cool

I have a mic and a second monitor, and I’ve been feeling so isolated that I’m very, very tempted to set up a Twitch account and stream while I draw or play Minecraft. Anyone interested in watching/virtually hanging out?

netflix witcher truly made the funniest decisions wrt jaskier bc like. im reading the books now and i’ve played a fair bit of the wild hunt and listen dandelion is fruity as hell and geralt is also clearly not straight but they rly do not come across as anything other than friends, but having jaskier b like. desperately following him around hoping for a shred of affection and then geralt outwardly claiming not to like him but being so visibly fond of him anyway like none of this was necessary sdkfkdf they chose to do it this way.

Bad news guys im doing timeline math and im pretty sure holmes and watson are 27-28 and 24-25 respectively in study in scarlet

hi im not done thinking about the empty house actually, it's in the fact that the title literally references the setting of morans arrest but also the emptiness of baker st itself without holmes and watson. and within that, the idea of holmes and watson in baker st as A Complete Home despite the gender and family norms of the time. idk. much to think about
