So many good options for the art appreciation asks but let's go with 3, 4, 13, 14 and 27.

hi hi ner! thanks forda qs!! these are all prettie incharestinge!! (<-girlie who didn't know she'd be Yapping-Yapping)

3. and 4.) Go to [fandom] tag and reblog some art you like that has under 100 notes ++ Go to the art tag (or similar) and reblog some art you like that has under 100 notes

noted, i will undertake this mission with great care 🫡🫡

13. What are your go-to Ao3 filters?

ok i have a confession, i used to be a sort by word count++completed works only++exclude crossovers-kinda person 🤧🤧ANYWAY that was changed, now i only really exclude chat fics (ahaha,,,,theyre not really my go-to genre, like sure they're amusing but i read a really good one once* and it ruined every other chatfic for me)

*this one's for u haikyuu-natics, esp team captain stannies

hm.... i'm not super-duper picky so most of the time i can just scroll through each work's summary and tags.

but if a fandom is popular (or if i dont have the spoons for sifting through works), i stick to just reader inserts HAHAHA, maybe oc x canon if there haven't been any new x reader fics and if there's rlly nothing oough ig i have to write her myself 😭😭 sometimes doe, the curiosity strikes and i'll try looking if there are any fanfics in filipino... i really find it interesting to see how a chara's dialogue reads if theyre speaking in tagalog (tbh i think one would have more luck finding filo socmed aus on twt? but i only know about haikyuu socmed aus)

14. Best fanfic tropes ever?

oH...there are too many... u can't make me choose the best out of all my faves that's unfair 🥺jk lol

i read* this jamikali fic (i like my ships with a bit [read: a LOT] of tragedy/disaster-ness to them. it's so so so compelling to read!) and i just love the "Dubiously Unrequited Love" tag. bcs yes, the feelings are technically mutual, but there is a whole slew of other factors keeping the relationship from being a thing, which it could be a thing, but there's also that awareness that it won't last, sometimes a couple doesn't have to be endgame for the love to mean something, ykw?

this entire oneshot series....has me in a chokehold... my introduction to "Non-Sexual Intimacy" (and "Non-Sexual Nudity" i guess?) like??? holy shit??? the tension?? the way op just encapsulates the poignancy of being in such a vulnerable position without teetering too much into the cliche of roëmænce it has me On My Knees!! (like i love my smut and romance cliches, but some days i jus want a liiiitle bit more spice and variety)

Shoutout to the "Unreliable Narrator"++"Ambiguous Ending" combi that reaaaaally makes you work for understanding the plot, idk how to word it but being able to leave Just Enough Breadcrumbs and having enough trust in your readers to Get what ur implying, also forcing me to reread the fic immediately is so foul (in a good way). like there's an enjoyment in a good satisfying read, and then there's the Itch of never being sure in your interpretation, the feeling that u just need to go over it another time, spot another detail u missed, get wrecked all over again, rinse and repeat. idk i love fic.

27. If someone wanted to make you a creative gift, what's the thing that would make you the happiest?

oh anything featuring my fave charas is sure to make me happy! i mean i'm just not super picky abt gifts. well, maybe a creative gift has to be smth that can last a long while? (a strong hoard-ability kaya idk im senti??)

as long as the thought and intent was there, i'm already happy enough🥰💕💕 but i guess in the context of getting fic gifted to you, probably what matters most to me is that the writer enjoyed the process of making it as well. (i'm kinda drawing off of my experience writing this fic for one of m'oomfies and the vdays drabbles*** so i could be just rambling who knows?**)

(art appreciation ask questions, please bug me to rb some underrated art and fic)

What are your favorite chapters/scenes from BCB? And also what's your fave chapter (probably not yet posted but I'm hype lol) in the redone omnibus? Always curious to hear your thoughts :)

oh i have.. so many favorites. 

favorite chapters areeee 

Confrontation, because i LOVE the setup of the deeper issues in the relationships between Lucy & the rest of the main four, and I Love The Drama

December, because the pacing is super well-done and has SO much bitterness with just a little bit of the sweet mixed in, A+ fucking chapter that i go back and re-read regularly, and again, I Love The Drama

Wonderland and Dial Tone are two i also really like because i am a huge sucker for the like “inner world / dream sequence letting the audience know about Deeper Feelings this person is having & tying in to outer-world events later on.” wonderland makes my heart ache over how the relationship between mike and lucy has fallen apart. “i’ll catch you, brave girl!” genuinely makes me EMOTIONAL bro.... and i love what it says about how Lucy sees Mike. and then Dial tone being almost the complete opposite, where Lucy is practically drowning Mike? and Lucy is SO VERY out of character, because Mike has just completely misinterpreted so many of her actions? fantastic. LUCY DYING ON THE BEACH WHILE MIKE SOBS AND TRIES TO STAUNCH THE FLOW OF BLOOD WITH HIS BLUE SCARF.... YES. and then it all being referenced later when he meets her irl again.........yesssss. also i absolutely LOVE the art in this chapter. the colors are really fun and the pages where the earlier styles get referenced is SO nice. 

Happy Hour also fuckin’ good, i am a sucker for the Bottle Episode trope. extremely funny and cathartic to see these teenagers all get drunk and then cry over lucy. also mike is adorable when he’s tipsy

It’s All in the Mind is another big fave because of the drama of it all. i LOVE seeing Lucy and Sue bond, love seeing Amaya just chilling. but i am 1000% here for the Daisy/Lucy interactions because it has all been under the surface since Confrontation and it’s finally being laid out explicitly AT each other!!!! Lucy cares about Daisy and wants to protect her but doesn’t understand her position at all, and Daisy primarily sees Lucy as a HUUUGE source of jealousy. and finally getting to see more about how Lucy feels victimized by people wanting her? YES. GOOD SHIT. also the art is once again extremely good

Back and Forth gets an honorable mention because it was the active-running chapter back when i first started reading the comic, and i LOVE the friendship interactions between Paulo and Lucy sooOooo much, and i honestly still adore the art style here. 

in the redone omnibus, my favorite redone chapters are deeeefinitely Confrontation and Rising Temperature. 

obviously Confrontation just finished being put up on Webtoons today -- and OOUGH IT’S SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S SO DANG GOOD!!!!!! the edited art makes it sooOooo nice to look at. the updated dialogue makes it SO much easier to understand what’s going on & clarifies things that were muddy before. i also love that it was edited so that Alej & Toby were Not the ones to give Paulo his barking phobia; makes it muUUuuch more realistic IMO. i also love how much more dramatic it is with the new dialogue.... so much cleaner.... it’s very very good. 

and Rising Temperature obviously HASNT been put up yet but i’ll just say... the dialogue changes hit really, really hard & the new art is really really nice. i’m so excited for the day it eventually gets posted cuz i want to just dig REALLY deep into the new dialogue. that chapter has always been a big pivot point for some stuff with Mike, and i feel like the new dialogue makes the pivot even more obvious and impactful. soOOOO excited for that one.
