For this ask game

the last sentence you wrote

He was in Meloetta’s full costume, save for lipstick. He had a feeling that would be ruined far too quickly to be worthwhile.

You get two sentences since they depend on each other HEHE. I’ve been writing a band au with my friends Yaoicarus and Abiogenesiis

your preferred writing fonts

Arial, I don’t bother changing from the default. When I just started with writing years ago, I used to write in comic sans

favorite place to write

In my bed :D

besides writing, what are your other hobbies?

I love going out to parks and experiencing nature. I especially love the feeling of the wind on my body. I’ve taken up painting on occasion recently in order to immortalize the image of my lost loved ones. I’m also a full time college student so I don’t have much time for other hobbies sadly

@doorsclosingslowly suggested this post for wyllstarion and had to go for it

Last Line Game

Tagged by the amazing @findswoman! Thank you so much for thinking of me, and I am so very sorry that it took me so long to reply and join in. I've been in hardcore lurker-mode lately.

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

He’d had a hunt to begin, after all, a vengeance to carry out.

Dun, dun, DUN!!! (For anyone who knows anything about my writing, yes, this pertains to Maul.)

A baker's dozen worth of words, or an even fourteen if I count that contraction as two words. Hm... I'm not sure I even know that many peeps on this site. Well, let me try compiling my list of usual suspects... @blackkatmagic, @its-not-a-pen, @doorsclosingslowly, @studiomkm, @indira-korr, @marvel-mistress-padawan, @loosingmoreletters, @ghostwriterofthemachine, @saricess, @sophronist, @sl-walker, @stealingpotatoes, @metataxy, @captainmazzic

(Yo, if you got tagged by me but have no clue as to who I am, just know that I have enjoyed your works on AO3 to the point that I have subscribed to your works and/or your username over on that site. I've probably left comments or kudos on your stuff. Y'all are great, and you inspire me.)

(And of course, that also includes @findswoman, who weaves such intricate, captivating stories and is a wonderful person overall!)

Writer Tag

Thanks for the tag @sehtoast and @blindmagdalena I always love to get tagged in these and rarely have the attention span to answer them, but please keep tagging me T_T

How many works do you have on AO3? Now this is embarrassing. Only 4.

What's your total AO3 word count? 25,672

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Let’s go by top 3 since I don’t have that many fics.

1. Pygmalion (The Boys)

2. Fear Leads the Way (Star Wars)

3. The First Part of All my Joy (The Boys)

Do you respond to comments? Yes! But like with everything else I take forever! Why or why not? You did me the courtesy of feeding me, I might as well feed you back.

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? I haven’t finished any of my long fics but I can already tell you they’re inching towards idealism because something something I believe in humanity’s inherent capacity for kindness and the lives of the characters I write about are canonically headed for disaster so I like giving them a bit of happiness in my works… BUT that said, my original fiction tends to be pretty ironically tragic and I’m currently working on an ASOIAF Aemond fic that I’m considering ending in true GRRM fashion.

What’s the fic you've written with the happiest ending? Can’t spoil xD everything is still ongoing. But as far as finished fic, I think Due to the Dead.

Do you write crossovers? I don’t particularly like crossovers but… once I’m bit by a bug I listen to no reason, so I’m not ruling it out.

Have you ever received hate on a fic? Nope, but I have a pretty small audience and have written few fics so it’s probably statistics.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? OF COURSE! I’ve done mostly het but like writing yaoi too (someone said AemondXLuke and I am INTRIGUED), I kinda really wanna try my hand at yuri and I tend to solve everything via threesome so… also, hi I’m Irene and I’m a monsterfucker.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes and no. So I am a fandom crone and my first fandom as far as fic writing goes was actually Saint Seiya. I had to translate my own fic for that. (Fun fact: I am an IRL translator)

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not yet but if I ever get down to ficifying my RPs with @hom3landr I might!

What's your all-time favorite ship? Ok let’s do fandoms!

The Boys: MadelynXHomelander because I am deeply horny for their dynamic.

Star Wars: AnakinXPadme because I’m a basic bitch.

Lackadaisy: MitziXMordecai …. Am the only one who ships this shit.

Bonus Fandom! ASOIAF: SansaXSandor

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? I intend to finish all of ‘em but I think my most ambitious work is probably Pygmalion and the hardest to end.

What are your writing strengths? I think I can create some interesting descriptive images.

What are your writing weaknesses? I. DON’T. FINISH. MY. SHIT. Also I take forever to write.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? That most people don’t get how language or fucking bilingualism works. But I do like gratuitous French… and Valyrian. I also really like when one character explains to another that there’s no exact translation for a word or turn of phrase. Language reflects culture <3

What was the first fandom you wrote for? Already said it, long time ago, Saint Seiya.

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? Once more I am intrigued by trying to make AemondXLuke work in spite of it all and just because I’m a contrary shit, try to make it wholesome. I also have like a thousand ideas for DinXLuke fics but am too much of a coward to write 'em

What's your favorite fic you've written? ….. I’m too attached to the AemondXReader fic I’m working on right now because it has a stealth OC I’ve been working on for years.

currently watching - 'the great' on hulu, but ngl season 3 has been breaking my heart ;___; yk it's bad when ur full-on dreaming of ur fictional heartbreaks, like i spent 48 hours in SHOCK lmao

currently consuming - an iced decaf latte

currently craving - weirdly, nothing? my appetite has been very outta whack lately

Tag Game

I’ve been tagged by @laurie-ipsum to do this, and am so honoured people want to get to know me a little better!

1. Last song: it’s either Great War by Taylor Swift or Stick Season by Noah Kahan (basic, I know, but ngl my music taste is pretty basic)

2. Currently watching: the Percy Jackson TV show! Though my friend has gotten me watching The Bear, and I’m enjoying that a lot too

3. Three ships: polycrows, Firstprince, polycrows again 😂 I just love polycrows okay

4. favourite colour: red! The brighter the better

5. Currently consuming: a very mediocre chocolate cake (I don’t even like chocolate cake but this one is particularly not great)

6. First ship: probably Percabeth or Solangelo

7. Relationship status: single

8. Last movie: Deadpool 2! Saw it yesterday after seeing clips of Walker Scobell quoting it

9. Currently working on:

my book

a few other shorter publications.

In fanfic land,

a Ninej polycrows modern AU fic that’s gonna be like a 20-25k chonker

a polycrows Kaz/Nina set in the same modern AU as the Ninej fic.

a few crackfics

a polycrows-Jesper centered one shot

Ninej fic will probs get published first, then the Jesper one-shot, then either the Kaz/Nina one shot or the crackfic, we’ll see. Who knows what inspiration will strike. And yes, I have ADHD 😂

Tag 9 people to do this, but I’m still new to the tumblr space so @rainstormdragon @doorsclosingslowly @demigodbeautiies @vermillionsketcher are the tumblrs I know off the top of my head! Would love to hear more!

✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to? and 🤩 favourite character to write

Ask game

What’s something that appears in your fics over and over again, even if you don’t mean to?

I love physical comfort so much that I create entire stories based around how they will end or have moments of comfort via a hand on the shoulder, a hug, or a longer embrace. That compels me

Favorite character to write?

Lear from pokémon masters ex. Hes single handedly brought me from writing max 8k fics to around 50k fics. Like I have a fic rn where his presence made it go from a 4k oneshot to a 25k oneshot that man INSPIRES ME

thank you for the tag @jethrowest !

favorite color: the simple answer is turquoise or peacock blue or anything that straddles the line between green and blue. the more complicated answer is white, which isn’t really a color and is very difficult to find stuff in white which will not immediately look dirty or weird. also white is only really visible when highlighted by other colors like black and white patterns or white amidst pastels, alas!

currently reading: The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson but also just recently breezed through accumulated Lackadaisy updates and unsurprisingly want to write Mordecai porn

last song: Cupid’s Chokehold / Breakfast in America

last movie: Troy, it's awful, don't watch it, but I'm in love with the spear fighting in it

last series: Shadow and Bone! I'm two episodes from finishing season 2 and I promised a friend to wait until we could watch them together and I'm DYING here!

sweet, savory or spicy: my damn palate changed in recent years and all I can think of is savory!

craving: something cheesy or fried with lots of grease since I'm not allowed that usually T_T sadness! probably chili cheese fries...

tea or coffee: diet coke

currently working on: that Mordecai Heller porn absolutely no one cares about. But your honor all I want is to write about an OCD asexual sociopathic gunman in really nice clothes suddenly discovering the joys of having a libido, thank you
