@ltwharfy tagged me in this and it was so fun to do, although it took me a hell of a long time to pick characters

make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and see which character is everyone's favourite. Then tag five people to do the same. I don't have anyone specific, but if we are mutuals then you are tagged, and please tag me in your response because I love seeing what people's favorite characters are!

So I was talking to someone and the common thought came that Eli Ever is a Latino-coded person, and that is so true and has a relevant context to consider. what I mean is that Eli ever is a canon latina bitch in my head.

Look at him! He and this woman whose name I forgot are the same!! /hj.

I can easily imagine him saying these phrases with a weak accent because I don't think he is completely Latin-american, but he is a very close descendant of the culture

i'm very indecisive when it comes to choosing favorite characters or what that even means to me so good luck making sense of this list lmao

this was fun to come up with so if you're also interested i'm tagging: @bookishblerb, @funk-king-sparkle, @detectiveanna, and @fauxxghost

1) I wrote a tbr of plays I wanna read in September in the middle of last month and it only took me 5 days to be like "yeah I'm not liking this plan at all and it makes me miserable." Idk how ppl do tbrs. I thought it would be exciting but it actually just makes me feel like I'm doing my chores.

2) Did you know I've read 4 plays in the last year which were written by Thomas Middleton? Why? Why have I spent so much time with Middleton? I've spent more plays with him than any other author in the last 12 months except Shakespeare (duh) and John Ford (whose plays I rented from the library so I had only a month). Like, of all the things I could be doing...

I'm seven episodes into Leverage and my biggest takeaway is this:

Hardison has two hands

[geekynightowl1997]

Something I love about Christian Kane's characters are;

How soft and gentle they are one minute but the very second his character's hear/see/are told to do something...

His characters become freaking warriors.

the return of gaming nerd harry wilson is my absolute favorite thing abt this new season, especially now that he’s completely unapologetic about how MUCH of a nerd he actually is. him and breanna geeking out over spirits ruse being a mobile app is chef kiss delicious!

Rules: Make a poll with five of your all-time favorite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favorite!

I was tagged by @suddenrundown, thanks for the tag! I was so tempted to put "eliot's baseball hair" but I resisted (also polls don't allow strikethroughs. sad). tagging @michinaranja, @vero-niche, @acidmatze and anyone else who wants to play!

[airasilver]

Mine’s Eliot but I adore Alec & Parker. Sometimes I love Parker over the boys and Hardison over the other two but it’s mostly Eliot.

I adore all the characters but yeah, Eliot’s my favorite. Who’s yours?

Do you have a rec for something nice to read? It can be any genre, really, OC or fanfic or a paper. I'm a bit stuck in life and I would like something recommended by someone who I consider nice.

The way you write is brilliant.

I'm sorry if I come across as demanding.

Not demanding at all! What a nice question, although I feel there are so many different things I could rec you and I have no idea what your tastes are, so the list I'm giving you is pretty random. I didn't give you any fic as I don't know what fandoms you're in. Also I'm just bad at bookmarking so usually I can't really remember any fics I've read.

Scum Villain's Self Saving System, by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. If you haven't read any MXTX, I would start here, because it's a fast-paced story, a real-page turner. It's also riotously funny, which will hopefully put in you in a good mood, but like all MXTX books, it also deals with society and morals and humanity. Reading it made me feel so excited and energized.

Dog's Body, by Diana Wynne Jones. If you haven't read any DWJ, I think this is a delightful book to start with, because it's quite short and has such an out-there premise that it hooks you like a fanfic. It's considered YA, but like all DWJ books it's about kindness and relationships and yeah, humanity.

Deerskin, by Robin McKinley. While I can't rec all McKinley's works, this one is my favorite. It's also where my icon is from. I find this one also to be a quick read, because the beginning is written in such a gauzy, fairytale tone, but then the worst happens, and you need to find out what the fuck will happen now. But while it's quick, it's not easy. There are parts that are extremely dark. While it's not explicit, if you need trigger warnings for abuse, I would look this book up before reading. That said, this book has wonderful themes about recovery and self-discovery, as well as top-notch romance.

Daniel Deronda, by George Eliot. This is not an easy or quick read at all but is instead something thick and dense you can really sink into. Eliot writes superb dialogue and is very witty, but more than any other author I've read, Eliot manages to make observations about life and relationships and humanity that put into words things I've always thought but never been able to articulate. Her characters are complex and deeply relatable while also being highly flawed. The premise of Daniel Deronda is revolutionary for her culture and time period and is still surprising today.

writer q&a

thanks for the tag @luvwich i love talking about myself lmao

tagging… @mashamorevvna @yourworsttotebag @swordbisexual no pressure

When did you start writing?

10 or 11 handwriting a three part series in notebooks lol i still remember the plot of my first book which was basically xmen AU. fic writing also started around that time

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

not really, my writing and my taste in reading usually align. even poetry which i read a lot of but don’t write, somehow still sneaks into my writing because i like making things read pretty

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

idk about fic but for published authors i like sally rooney and her character work, and i also love t. s. eliot’s rhythmic style in poetry, im always trying to emulate them

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

i have a toddler to the answer so this for now is my phone on the couch or in my bed in the middle of the night lmao. i’ve learned how to write under weird circumstances, but hopefully once she gives back some of the mental capacity she takes from me daily then i’ll sit at a table or something

What's your most effective way to muster up a muse?

can’t do it easily lol it comes to me in visions, usually after i read something or see a piece of art but if it’s not there it’s not there

Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?

i write a lot about religion… no that’s not surprising…. i also write a lot about love… that’s not surprising either lol

What is your reason for writing?

i like stories a lot, and i like being praised, so writing stories and having people read them checks two boxes for me lol

Is there any specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating?

all comments are precious, but comments where people find something that i didn’t consciously put into a fic those are my favorite comments. i put a lot of myself into everything i write, sometimes i write things i don’t think about, when someone points it out it feels very personal (good)

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

hope i don’t come across as insane, i want to be aloof and interesting but then people find me on tumblr and learn the truth

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

hopefully emotion, i focus a lot on that instead of setting or plot most of the time so if i get emotion right then that’s good, as long as i can make someone feel something then they’re compelled to continue reading (conversely when i am reading something and don’t feel any emotional connection to the thing then i put it down)

How do you feel about your own writing?

i like it very much, it’s the exact thing i want to read, and it was a very long road getting here to my true voice and style. i reread my own work constantly i really like it

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely for yourself, or a mix of both?

i can only write for myself, the motivation to write is only there if it’s something i want to write, even challenges and prompts i struggle with because there is some aspect of “this isn’t truly my idea” that i struggle with. i’ve written things that just aren’t popular (weird ship, quiet fandom, etc) but i wrote it anyway because i wanted to. obvs i want to be read otherwise i wouldn’t post online but i have a good audience now so usually no matter what i write it does get read anyway, so may as well just write what i want lol
