[everythingseasoning]

hello! i have questions for you i’m wondering about! you can answer them if your comfortable ^.^

what are your pronouns?

do you have a favorite drink?

pet peeves?

do you have any talents?

what song is on repeat now?

what got you into jjk?

are you in a relationship?

any allergies?

favorite color?

HELLO ! I LOVE QUESTIONS !!! (I’m very excitedly typing)

Pronouns - she/they! Lately one of my profs has been referring to me as “she” and … well … it doesn’t feel quite right, but for me personally I don’t care that much if people use she/her towards me. Sometimes I refer to myself as she and it’s totally good in the moment. Sometimes I don’t feel like a she. So she/they works!

Favorite Drink - I only really like water with my meals, or possibly green tea. I love sipping on sugary drinks when I crave that (i take very tiny sips and the drink lasts forever), but never ever do I drink anything like that with meals. I will also drink black tea with coffee creamer when I’m feeling like I need dopamine HAH. Drinking coffee or matcha unfortunately makes my body and brain feel wonky. I can’t focus and it’s like I’m in a state of numbing anxiety. Don’t like it. But l still, on occasion, will drink either.

Pet peeves - Mean people when existing near me. Narrow minded & judgmental people when existing near me. People who walk NEAR ME when they could walk further away, (I think I have a personal space need). People who reject others without engaging in discussion and critical thinking (a lesson for us all). When somebody isn’t emotionally intelligent and doesn’t try to be better. When somebody can’t break things down and explain a concept *and they’re a teacher* for fucks sake. When people don’t care about the wellbeing of kids and adolescents. When people don’t care about the wellbeing of another human regardless of age.

Talents - Yes, but the one I’m thinking about shall stay a secret because it’s not a very common skill and I don’t wanna give too much away. Other talents I can talk about… Well, many liberal arts teachers/professionals who meet me and get to know me more, say that I’d be a good psychologist. Oh. A talent I’ve had since I was little: understanding cats. HAHHA. (I was that weird kid who was lost in her own head when she was little, and I hissed at people)

Fav song atm - Strangely enough no song has been on repeat lately! That is unusual though. Try asking again another time, I’ll have an answer for ya

What Got Me Into JJK - Honestly, the hype around JJK is what led me to it AND kept me sticking around. I was seeking something to cure my depression (anime won’t do that, but it can certainly help but you also have to get consistent sunlight, socialization, feed your mind, body, soul, too), and I kept hearing about Jujutsu Kaisen. So I thought WOW this must be a really good one! The thing is that for me, with most anime it takes time for me to feel hyped about it… even with AOT, and AOT is goated… So for JJK, while I laughed A LOT in season 1, I also just felt underwhelmed. I did stick around though, because the fandom kept showing up on my timeline, and it was nice to feel like I was a part of something (seeing everybody simp over characters made me wonder what there was to this show that I was possibly missing out on), because at the time I really wasn’t doing well. It’s embarrassing to admit but it wasn’t until I started talking about it and listening to other people talk when I started seeing the nuance to JJK, and I began to appreciate it. (Don’t watch anime while half asleep and expect to walk away with an understanding of what’s going on…) I also really wanted to understand what others saw in JJK for them to hype it up so much.

Relationship? - No. Do I want romance? Yeah. Will I let myself be in a relationship anytime soon? Highly unlikely. I’ve got a lot of healing & growing to do before I can be a good partner.

allergies? - hurtful people who do stupid things and have zero interest in anyone but themselves (not to say I don’t pity them or have sympathy and empathy for them. I do. But I’m also allergic to them). Oddly enough, I was genuinely allergic to a certain leafy green as a kid. Outgrew that though! thank god haha

Favorite colour - I can’t choose! They each have their own beautiful feel to them. If I had to choose, I’d say green :) with yellow undertones, not blue undertones, though that’s also very pretty (if you’re an artist or take a basic art class with colour involved, ykwim).

Any more questions? Feel free to ask! Loved answering this :) Thank you so much for hopping into my inbox 🩷

[jessamine-rose]

Since your name is jessamine, rather than calling you jess, can i call you mine? 😋

(What is this joke-ish rizzing i just said lmaoo /silly)

First Boss, now me….….I can’t tell if I should feel amused or baffled. Thanks, I guess?? xD

But my answer is no.

[ignoringmyhyperfixation]

not you liking and defending dabi a literal criminal and mass murderer, who actively tries to kill his innocent younger brother and still simultaneously are shitting on endeavor. like newsflash both suck ass but atleast endeavor has the heart to change and realize his mistakes and is contantly trying to pay for the pain he caused without looking for forgiveness. what does dabi do on the other hand? except for just smelling like a burnt chicken nugget

Don't be shy, come off anon <3

People are allowed to like and dislike characters regardless of what they've done, you know that right? Also I've never defended Dabi in a way that implies I agree with his decisions, which I apply to Endeavor as well. I love both of them actually, as characters. I love to hate Endeavor, he's a piece of shit but I like how he was written. Same with Dabi, he's done horrible shit but I fucking love his character.

Besides, Endeavor finally realizing his mistakes after multiple decades doesn't erase the trauma he caused or how much of an asshole he has been and still is. And someone like Dabi is too far gone to care about anything that isn't on his one-track mind.

It's called literary comprehension, fully understanding the media you're in and recognizing the characters and content you're consuming ✨ I love all kinds of characters while also hating all kinds of characters. Most of the time, I can recognize when they're well written (despite how much they piss me off) and still hate them, as a person.

You don't have to like certain characters, that's your decision. I don't like quite a few characters that people love, because they're not my type of character. But I can recognize why they would.

Curious anon here: When did you start writing (fic or non-fic)? And for fic, do you prefer writing AUs or canon universe? Because you’re amazing at both 😍

Thank you so much, curious and kind anon!! 🥰

I don't remember when I started writing, but every memory I have, I have a notebook and a pen with me. I was always writing stories. Now I have a phone that makes it even faster and easier! Love it.

My first fanfiction was a self insert OC and I don't remember if it was a Black Stallion rip off or a Romeo + Juliet rip off. I was 13. I wrote both that year. It was a lot of fun. I was a horse girl who loved Shakespeare. I had an old set of the Black Stallion books that I read so many times they were falling apart. I can't find them anymore and it makes me really sad TBH.

And I had a huge crush on baby Leo. He was too old for me then, and yet somehow I am too old for him now, even though he is still over a decade older than me!

Then in my twenties I was getting divorced and I read Harry Potter for the first time and I went through a huge fandom period there, live journal fanfiction saved me from the deepest depression and toughest time. My OTP was Remus/Sirius aka Wolfstar.

And now ... I write original stuff sometimes, write online content for industrial brands for work, and thought I would never write fan fiction again. But then I saw somebody on Reddit say "God bless the Haladriels, there are some really cute stories on AO3."

That was 5 months ago and I have written over 100,000 words since then?!?! About goddamn Galadriel and Sauron?!?

AU feels a lot easier and more natural and overall fun to write. But I think I take more satisfaction as a writer when I get the phrasing to cooperate and the details to ring true in a canon universe? Also, the stakes feel higher because it's not about two humans it's these power players in a cosmic level story!

[icequeenxrio]

Imagine your OTP in a nutshell XD

I think I don't quite understand this ><; what do you mean by that? I think I've heard that before but I don't remember what it means, sadly.

[awkwardpenguinproductions]

hello! I just finished your yuyan zuko series (absolutely amazing) and was wondering why the last thirteen parts weren’t linked on your master post :O

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

So life has been happening and my writing time and motivation is significantly reduced. The Master Post is up to date as far as AO3 posts are concerned, but copy/pasting onto Tumblr posts is tedious at best and a pain in the butt at worst (sometimes none of my formatting survives the transition and so I have to go through and re-bold and re-italicize all of Zuko's dialogue and anything else that needs it and it is a PAIN), so it doesn't happen a lot.

As for the last bit of the series, it's still in production, and therefore has not been posted anywhere yet. I want to finish it entirely before I start posting again, and as stated above, my time and motivation to write has been reduced by additional responsibilities and opportunities. I'm still working on it, I promise, but this current installment I'm working on is fighting me tooth and nail.

Bear with me! It'll happen!

How can i enter sleep paralysis

I’ll be 100% honest with you here: I’ve never experienced sleep paralysis. So, while I do have some general tips and vague knowledge on the matter, I sadly can’t offer you any tips that I know are at least tried and true to me 🥲💔 The basics of sleep paralysis though I believe are the following:

Sleep paralysis happens when you wake up either right at the end or beginning of the REM cycle of sleep. The REM (rapid eye movement) part of the sleep cycle is when you’re dreaming, and during this part of your sleep your body is fully relaxed and kept still by your brain to prevent you from acting out your dreams. So, when you wake up during the start/end of this cycle you are essentially waking up before/after dreaming while your body is still completely relaxed and therefor cannot move. That’s when sleep paralysis happens and also why people tend to hallucinate or see/hear things that aren’t there when they wake up in sleep paralysis.

Obviously the first thing I’d say is please do it with caution and just know it’s possible you might see something that scares you or causes you to panic. It’s obviously not guaranteed and not every person’s experience with sleep paralysis will be different so it’s also not great mentally to go in with the assumption that it will be scary, but do keep in mind that while it’s a possibility you are completely safe and fully in control of your surrounding :)

As for tips, I’d probably recommend wake back to sleep methods (aka waking yourself up right before/after your REM cycle with an alarm and going back to bed shortly after), or methods that involve letting your body relax while your brain stays awake and calm but active. The second method is actually what I did to enter the void, but I’m sure you can probably induce sleep paralysis with it if that’s the intention you set!

I’m sorry I can’t offer more help anon but other than what I said above doing research just on the basics of sleep paralysis and common causes of it to fully understand what it is and how it works would probably be the best route in order to create a routine or method that works for you! :) <3

Curious Anon~

How've you been lately :D Has life been treating you okay? Any projects going on?

Heya!

I’ve been pretty good, I just got back from vacation by the beach a little over a week ago!!

If by projects you mean writing…

Writer’s block strikes again 🥲

Anyway, how are you?

[jessamine-rose]

When you write and read stuff do you maybe have like a different preference for the both of them sometimes? Like for example one might like reading romance but can't write or will not write it. 👀 (Ask game)

Ohh definitely. I’m very picky when it comes to writing fanfics, but I can handle more tropes/ characters as a reader.

For instance, in my rules, I said that I don’t write Character/ Reader death, angst w/o comfort, or unrequited love. But if you look at my reblogs, you’ll notice that I’m willing to read fics with those tropes. Depending on the writer or my ideas, I can also make exceptions.

Also, while I can handle nsfw, I can’t write fully-fleshed smut scenes. That is why my Harbinger fics only show a few details + what happens before and after the smut.

what is a fic you desperately want to read but don’t want to write? like a concept or plot

Everything that @loserdiaz owes me 🔪🔪🔪

Tbh since I suck at writing funny things I usually crave reading them the most, I don’t have anything in mind rn but those two idiots just being silly and in love is something I always want to read!

Help me not obsesses over ao3

[hippolotamus]

Hi Hippo. Should I quit my job?

Goodness! I am ill equipped to tell you what to do or not do about your job. But as someone with nearly 4 decades of experience on this earth, I can give you my pair of pennies.

Does it bring you joy, or a sense of accomplishment? Or does it make you wake up filled with a sense of dread?

Is it a safe, ethical place?

Are you proud to talk about your job? Does it pay enough to cover life expenses?

Do you have a backup plan if you do quit? (can you tell I'm a parent yet? 😜)

Bonus Question: What would you like to be doing instead?

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best. Feel free to message again (anon or not) and let me know what direction you chose!
