LE CROISTY - Morbihan

Les gens y mangeaient trop épicé

[vanillabutspicy]

Hi! Happy FFWF!! Is there a sentence or scene that you can vividly see in your mind while reading it? Is it from your own fic (and ofc add a shameless plug in if it is) or is is from someone else's fic? Also, what made you interested in drawing and writing fanfic?

(Peaches made me curious lmaooo, also sorry for the bombarding of questions!)

Happy ffwf croisty!!

I like this question because I can talk about someone else's writing!! The first thing that came to mind is the beginning of Just A Taste by @tofuandtattoos which lives rent free in my mind and yes I see it SO CLEARLY. It's one of those moments that lasts so long but in the best way because it's so loaded and the tension just keeps escalating from the smallest gestures. I love it. They're just standing in the kitchen making dinner and then suddenly it's erotic. Um, I live for that.

As for how I got into fan art and fanfics, omg wow this answer turned so lonngggggg I need to put it in after a cut.

It was sort of a bunch of things that came together for me to land here. I watched ATLA for the first time in 2018, and it was so long after it aired that I didn't even think to look into the fandom of it all. Then when it was put on netflix, that was right around the same time that I started to figure out reddit, so I realized I could find an ATLA community!

At the same time, I was enjoying the summer weather by working outside on my deck in a lawn chair every day, with very poor posture, and it led to a back injury because of a preexisting vertebral defect that I had no idea I had! PSA: ergonomics are important!!!!!! Anyway, I had to change my way of being and existing and spending time in the world to avoid pain. I needed a sedentary hobby and I also needed an outlet for the fact that there were things I wanted to do that I couldn't physically do without severe pain for a while.

Plus, in those reddit ATLA communities, I was very disappointed with what I found when I went looking for some spicy content. Kataang was so underrepresented! As if their relationship is too boring. And most of the art that I saw (of any of the pairings) often put female characters in poses/scenarios where they were objectified or demeaned. Not at all the kind of scenes I would associate with a relationship like kataang. (I did find some wonderful kataang art but it was from artists who stopped drawing them years ago, which was also very sad... and when I think of how much was potentially lost in the tumblr purge I'm just fjkhdsghkjdsg ugh it's tragic.)

So the name "vanillabutspicy" was really inspired by my spite against the reddit content that I didn't like LOL. And I started drawing it to prove a point, to keep myself entertained, to scratch an itch, and just to wallow in the wonderful goodness that is kataang. Because oh boy you just know they'd have the most fulfilling times.

I started writing for similar reasons. I liked reading fanfic, but I hadn't found the exact story that I wanted to read, so I wrote it myself. Writing and drawing have both been so great for me personally. I honestly don't know what I'd be doing with my free time right now if not for this fandom. Probably knitting I guess? My friends circle would look different for sure. Life be cray sometimes, in the best ways.

Flameo! Happy FFWF!!

Have you ever had to cut something you absolutely love from one of your fics? Also, is there any 'recycled' material in any of your fics? Like did you reuse some of your own scenes that you've cut from other fics? If so, may I ask for a shameless fic plug? :D

Happy belated FFWF, croisty!!!

I haven't had that displeasure, yet. I *did* learn from the amazing @waterbearwaltz to start saving cut pieces of writing that I love in a separate document so that I don't have to completely say goodbye, and also so I can scroll through and use them in something new if I ever find the right place for them, but I don't have much in that document at the moment.

I have recycled material once, though! In my fluff ficlet for @chocomd I used a paragraph from my abandoned KW "missing scenes" wip, which was originally going to take place during The Painted Lady. This got long so more under the cut:

When Aang had been struck down in Ba Sing Se, it had torn her apart. Even though he had briefly opened his eyes and smiled blearily at her after she’d used the spirit water to heal him, she had spent the next weeks utterly distraught, busying herself with his care so that she couldn’t think about the what-ifs. Her heart had been so lost without him. She had always known he was important to her, but losing him made her realize she couldn’t imagine a life without him anymore. And these feelings were bigger than she could handle, yet. The war was still raging and the Day of Black Sun was quickly approaching. She hadn’t even known if he felt the same way, after that debacle in the Cave of Two Lovers. Though, that had at least ended in a sweet brush of the lips. She wasn’t quite sure she could call it a kiss, but she wanted to count it. And she wanted more.

I like exploring Katara's feelings in that period between The Awakening and Day of Black Sun, because she is physically ALL OVER Aang during those episodes, and clearly into him, but there is also so clearly something holding her back, which only gets *more* complicated after the failed invasion. She's so young but these feelings (of love... of fear...) are SO BIG and overwhelming... it's not hard to see why she was confused. So it was fun to rework this paragraph into something I could actually complete and put it out there. Thanks so much for the ask!

le Jacques Cartier, du crépuscule à la nuit, devant le Grand Mont, 28 juillet 2020

21h43, les derniers rayons du soleil qui disparaît à l’ouest éclairent le Jacques Cartier désormais seul devant le port du Croisty

21h59, les lumières qui dessinent la silhouette du navire sont de plus en plus visibles à mesure que le soir tombe.

Dans la nuit maintenant présente, le bateau apparaît presque étrange, arc lumineux sur la mer. A bord les gens portent des “tenues décontractées…

For the ask game! I feel like you're lime, except with coffee? And navy blue: really nice to talk to! (Am I totally throwing in my own colors? Yep!)

OK BUT YOU’RE NOT WRONG ON THE COFFEE 🤣 I switch to decaf in the afternoon but basically, especially in the winter, I subsist on coffee (and the occasional other warm drink like tea or cocoa) bahaha. And awww, you’re really nice to talk to, too, croisty! I’m so glad to know you in this sweet little corner of the fandom 🥰

Happy ffwf!! Imma totally go to mlb here but would you ever write an angst fic about the senti-adrien theory??? (you have put it in my head now we shall both suffer lmaoo)

ohhhhhhhh croisty you're giving me an excuse to talk about the Solitude of Cinders, eh????? (rubs hands together sinisterly)

Okay so long story short, yes and no....

I started writing my mlb long-fic before season four started airing because I had read *some* senti-adrien posts and was trying my darndest to come up with an explanation for how it could all be explained away. (Because as much as I ~believe~ in the senti-adrien theory, I don't wannnnnnnnnna. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.)

But uh. For fear of spoiling too much of the show or the fic which I still maybe probably plan to write.... ~essentially~ my fic was going to posit that Adrien is a real boy (TM) but FELIX.... felix is a senti. So's Amelie, for that matter. And, for good measure, also possibly Kagami??

I have plans for several chapters of college years Emilie and Gabriel narrative (Featuring Audrey & Andre Bourgeois, Amelie, Tomoe Tsurugi, Nathalie, even Mr. Ramier. Bro the whole crew has a role in this tangled head-canon o' mine.) that would intertwine w the lovesquare shenanigans and hawkmoth ~stuff~ going on in the main story.

BUUUUUUUT some things that have been revealed in season four (Zoe and Alya, I'm looking at YOU) have thrown a wrench in my theory and plot plan so I'm kind of putting it on the backburner until season four is done airing, and then I'll regroup and see if I still want to finish writing it.

As it stands right now though, tSoC was a super fun thing to write and kind of explore Adrien and Marinette's characters. Right now I just have two chapters which parallel each other. A fun read, if you ask me, even if I don't tie up all the threads that I set up in these first chaps. And yes. Angst. So so much angst.

le Jacques Cartier, le Croisty, 28 juillet 2020, fin de matinée

Un matin j’ai la surprise de découvrir quelque chose que je n’avais jamais vu dans le coin (même pendant une Semaine du Golfe), un très grand bateau, un navire hors-pair, un paquebot ! Celui de luxe (dans les 4000 € la semaine de St Malo à Nantes en faisant escales sur plusieurs îles) ) de la compagnie du Ponant – le Jacques Cartier, un “Ponant explorer” – qui en a 6 autres semblables. Rien que…
