#can i please enjoy a character i've adored since i was about 14 without having to sift through exclusively ship content

[philcoulsonismyhero]

One of these days I’m going to learn how to make gifs Specifically so I can make Silent Witness gifs that aren’t bloody Harry/Nikki, I am fed up

Things that are infinitely more interesting than a tired Will They/Won’t They that ended in a Nope, They Won’t:

The genuine and loving and multifaceted and complicated friendship that Harry and Nikki have with each other completely independent of the wibbly unspoken romo thing

Harry and Leo’s bickering but deeply caring friendship that’s endured through innumerable rocky patches caused by them both being stubborn asshole idiots

Nikki’s friendship with Leo which took longer to develop because she joined the team later but became just as deep and has its own variety of drama

Leo’s whole existence in general? Where’s the love, he’s Great and also tragic and very drily funny and he had a great friendship with Sam Ryan while she was around that deserves so much more attention

Sam Ryan, while I’m on the subject! Loved her, wish she’d gotten to meet Nikki

The trio with their fascinating habit of switching off between the classic Spock/Kirk/McCoy trio roles (logic/balance/emotions) depending on who’s most Involved(TM) this week, but usually settling out with Nikki as the relentless McCoy, Harry as the angry Spock and Leo as a Kirk who will pick a side as often as mediate

Nikki as a person in her own right, this brilliant insightful scientist who frequently gets herself into trouble because she believes in telling people’s stories and damn the politics, who struggles with her need to have faith and how hard her job makes it to hold on that faith

Harry as a person, bloody hell, I could talk for hours about how he’s this incredible three-dimensional character who’s the rationalist and the sceptic and also loves so deeply that he gets his heart broken again and again by cases and friends and lovers but he never stops caring, and even though he tries to cover it up with glib jokes and sarcasm and his sharp temper you can see how much he cares because he wears his emotions on his sleeve and is allowed to cry and generally exhibit deep emotions so much more than that character archetype usually is

Any of the fascinating thematic stuff that the show gets into, like how different people react to death in general and personal loss specifically

The fact that Harry is Clearly Bi and yet somehow the writers didn’t notice

All the fascinating what-ifs if you keep Harry and Leo around but still bring in Jack and Clarissa because they’re Incredible and we’ve been Robbed by not getting to see Harry come to visit and immediately become instant best friends with Clarissa

I could go on forever!

The show is so much more than just that one ship! And I’m not saying don’t ship it, knock yourself out if that’s what you enjoy, I’m just a crotchety aromantic who couldn’t give a shit about will they/won’t they plotlines and Really Wishes that there was content for all the other elements of the show because they are brilliant and underrated. Where are my gifsets of Harry’s ridiculous jokes and of his banter with Leo and of the team doing their trio thing? If I wasn’t snowed under with art stuff I’m serious that I’d be learning to gif out of spite by now. There! Is! So! Much! More! To! This! Show! Than! One! Ship!

/end rant

I’m doing my once-every-few-months intense crime drama obsession thing, don’t mind me

Howdy! Since writing takes too long, I decided to write a few ideas of my Runaway! Au. Mainly about Hunter and Lilith.

Hunter:

He never went to Hexside. He never felt sad about it, he always thought kids would make fun of him  because he doesn’t have magic.

He really enjoys baking and spends most of his time in the kitchen. Sometimes he goes with Eda to the market and sells his pastries.

King is like a little brother to him. They often play board games and read books together

Since he found he doesn’t have magic, he reads every book he can about it. He really likes the idea of wild witches, how they can practice every magic they can

He never had a friend (Besides King) but he didn’t like Luz at first.

Lilith:

She decided to use her natural hair again. Mainly so the covens couldn’t recognize her.

She shares the curse with Eda after living a few years in the Owl house

Its rare when she leaves the house

She spends most of her time making potions to sell

I’ll add more ideas of this au later!!! Please tell me if liked this :}

Hunter just wants to hear a story.

Inspired by @jess-the-vampire arofam au, I decided to draw this!

I hope you like it :3

Lilith and Hunter in my new au.

Basically, Lilith hears Belos true intentions with Hunter (training him to be a child soldier and sacrificing him when he's older)

Lilith, without knowing what to do, decided to take Hunter and runaway with him. She arrives at the Owl house, looking somewhere to hide

Please tell me if you like this concept 😊

Need you here

Summary:

Lilith knew there was something wrong with Hunter. There were not too many changes in the boy, he did things as usual but she knew him well enough to know that the boy was not feeling well.

Notes:

This little fic is inspired by a drawing of @nekojetto on Tumblr. Their drawings are absolutely adorable and you should follow them.

And this is the first I've ever written a sickfic so I hope it's alright.

Oh gosh I love all ur fics so much! I guess I'll randomly pick from my favorite ones! 1) in my way (6,14) 2)Let me down gently(agh nostalgic pheels. I can't count the times I've reread ur works n this one is no exception. 1,2,3,4,9). 3)A familiar kind of love( my absolute fav like in all phanfics ever to exist. 5,6,11,12,13) sending all my love boo! I read about u being I'll and I hope u get better. P.s. charolette is lovely give her a hug from me. U 2 deserve to find happiness

(Some of this is under a cut to save your dashes xD)

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoy my fics, literally that is so lovely to hear ^_^ Thank you for your well-wishes about my health and also Charlotte, I’m sitting next to her rn cuddling so things are pretty great

Now onto your questions!

In My Way (link here):

6. What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics? 

Hmm, good question. It’s the first one where I really decided to put some of myself into it - to write characters that I could relate to, not just situations I found adorable. It was a brave step for me because I felt lonely (as an ace not knowing any other aces at the time) and I just wanted to read about someone like me for once.

And then it sparked this whole community of ace people, so that worked out pretty well xD

14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic? 

I didn’t set out to teach anyone anything through this fic - but I did want to explore sexuality, particular asexuality (and bisexuality too, but I haven’t quite got to that bit properly yet xD). I’ve since received a lot of mesages from people saying they learned about their own sexuality through reading my fic, and other people saying they aren’t ace but understand it much better now, and that honestly blows me away

Let Me Down Gently (link here):

1. What inspired you to write the fic this way? 

I’m not sure really, I just had this very vivid scene in my head of Dan and Phil meeting in a bus stop in the rain. And then I really wanted to write an AU where one of them was in an already established relationship, but without any cheating, and it kind of grew from there xD

OH and also I was watching a lot of Four In A Bed, which is a show where B&B owners go to each other’s places and rate each other. And I just thought, hey, this would be a great AU for Phil because I like to imagine he loves putting people up and making sure they have enough blankets etc.

2. What scene did you first put down? 

The first one, I always write in chronological order

3. What’s your favorite line of narration? 

This is tough as I actually don’t like my narration very much, I don’t think I’m any good at description at all and I rely very heavily on my dialogue. Buuuut my favourite is probably this, because the plants make me laugh:

Approaching the door with trepidation, Dan eyed the various plants that decorated the porch warily. A plant of sorts - a tall thing that looked a bit like a miniature palm tree - was waving its fronds at him, and Dan couldn’t tell whether it was being friendly or angry. Maybe he was being told      ‘Get off my land!’     in plant speak.

4. What’s your favorite line of dialogue? 

Already answered this, but it’s the part where Phil describes his relationships using plant analogies. Especially this line:

You turn up, and you’re like this wild honeysuckle. You’re messy and expensive and I’m never quite sure it’s worth the money, and you climb up the walls and get in the way of everything and infiltrate yourself completely, but then you flower and you have the most amazing scent and suddenly there’s colour and bees are coming and butterflies are hovering everywhere and ��� and I’m still sitting in the shrub.

9. Were there any alternate versions of this fic? 

Not really, actually. I’m quite a meticulous planner, and this was a Big Bang fic which meant I had to produce the full outline quite early on. So there weren’t really any other versions that came about, sorry about that xD

A Familiar Kind of Love (link here):

(Note: this was cowritten with Elizajane (@snowbunnylester) so this is just my opinions of it, hers may differ in some aspects ^_^)

5. What part was hardest to write? 

For me, the bit where Dan rejects Phil. I wrote Dan in this fic (Elizajane wrote Phil) and it was so emotional to write about Dan shouting at Phil and being mad and upset, when I as the author knew Phil was only doing his best

The resolution of that was probably my favourite bit to write though :D

6. What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics? 

A couple of things. It’s straight-up fantasy, which I love and is my favourite genre/the genre I write in when I’m not writing fic, so that was really fun and different to most of my other stuff. Also, it was my first published cowritten fic, and the first time I explored aro themes in depth as well as ace themes.

11. What do you like best about this fic? 

Ahhh tough question! But I think the dynamic between familiars and witches that we invented, and the world we built up together. I can in no way take solo credit for this though, a lot was down to the wonderful imagination of Elizajane

(Also Dan’s bookshelf. I want to read his books)

12. What do you like least about this fic? 

When Dan rejects Phil. It hurt to write

13. What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading? 

Ok this is literally the one fic I don’t have music for xD I literally write to music all the time, but this one was RPing with Elizajane over email so half the time I was bouncing off what she wrote rather than creating an atompshere from the music I was listening to. But there is one song that I think really explores the ace/aro themes I explored through the character of Dan, and that’s Please don’t say you love me by Gabrielle Aplin

Thanks for all those questions, and have a lovely day, lovely anon!
