Oh boy! A new Hermes/Tiresias shipper! Welcome aboard!🤗

What headcanons do you have for this silly couple?

YESSSS I AM SO HAPPY I GOT INTO THIS SHIP Flying Snakes Headcanons ig: (I think I work better with my art than with my words, so I'm sorry if this looks really badly written)

Tiresias is more of a ‘receiving gifts’ than a ‘words of affection’ guy, hence the two-headed snake Hermes gifts him.

 I  love to think Hermes just constantly hits on Tiresias whenever he drops by to deliver souls into the Underworld, and Tiresias is either really dense or is completely unbothered by it.

Hades definitely knows about these two (people always make him out to be the villain But I would like to think that he’s really chill and lets them be together in the Underworld.) Unrelated note, Persephone ships them too.

Like @rubypet’s hc with Apollo, Apollo has prophecy as one of his domains so he’s a little pissed that Hermes is hitting on his prophet lmao.

Hermes calls the double-headed snake ‘the twins’ on purpose, usually in front of Apollo to piss him off and because Apollo doesn’t know Hermes is referring to the snake(s)? He just assumed Hermes knocked up Tiresias lol.

Because Tiresias has prophetic visions, he’s sometimes distracted (e.g, he’ll glance at a lingering spirit while Hermes is talking to him and will recall that spirit’s life) Hermes just takes it in his stride and asks him what he sees and they talk about that instead.

Tiresias tends to tell his prophecies in a roundabout way (my hc is that prophets are prevented from telling the outright truth behind what they see) so those who come to him for visions would oftentimes accuse him of misguiding them after they die (Oedipus would like to curse at him or smth everytime he sees Tiresias in the Underworld after he died)

Hermes knows that Tiresias gets disheartened by all the negative remarks (sounds like Tiresias gets a bad review on Prophetic visions lol) Especially so after Odysseus literally misinterprets his visions despite him trying his best to help the King of Ithaca cause he’s Hermes’ great grandson. Hermes would frequently give updates on how Odysseus is doing to reassure him (I personally feel prophets are used to ‘see’ the negative life-changing events in people’s lives instead of any of the positive ones, so Tiresias would be relieved to hear anything good that goes out of a hero he helps) Edit: It just came to me so I decided I'll just put it here, Tiresias absolutely hates Oedipus :)

I have a doodle I’m doing to explain more about why ‘the twins’ are called Jason and Theseus, hopefully, I’ll post it by tonight. Anyway, thanks for all the Asks, I hope y’all can understand my terrible explanations, if not my inbox is still open for questions!

as of the 8th, kuroba is officially a whole year old! 🍀

i originally made them as a way to take a break from my previous hyperfixation on pokemon, but then immediately got pulled back in by the 2nd scarvio dlc dropping. i was into osmt back when it first when it first came out and had actually made an oc for it back then, but i didn't really feel connected to them anymore so kuroba was born! all i can say is that i'm really glad i decided to revisit them ( and osomatsu-san as a whole ) again once my interest in the dlc started to wane.

when i first started focusing on kuroba and kurokara more, i never expected the immense kindness and support everyone has shown me these past few months. i feel like i struggle to properly express how thankful i am for that, but i really am! every single sweet tag on my posts, curious ask sent my way, or beautiful piece of art has truly meant the world to me. it's been so fun getting to interact with new people and become mutuals with so many cool, wonderful people, as well as make some amazing new friends!

though i can be a little reserved and have a low social battery most of the time, i've really love getting to know all of you and share my silly goofy guys with everyone. so truly, from the bottom of my heart, i want to say thank you so much for making blog a little reprieve from my daily life. i really, really appreciate it!! 🤗💕✨

as a little bonus, i'll share my first osmt oc from 2017 AND the first draft i made of kuroba!

yume... i can't remember if i named her that on purpose or not. she was also created to ship with karamatsu, i've always had to bother that man. i had a short-lived rp blog for her, but i sadly never got to do much with her. kara having more solid lore for his high school days now was one of the reasons why i ended up scrapping her, but i would love to revisit her at some point. ( i've thought about her being one of kuroba's middle school friends from back in yokohama... )

aaaand here's kuroba's original design, they were originally gonna work at a konbini! i ended up reworking their design and concept more once i realized they ended up looking way too much like me lol. i'm pretty sure i decided to make kuro own a flower shop when i saw kara from the 2nd hesokuri wars' work set.

Scrolling through your blog (looking at older stuff) I noticed a change from more Triva content to Tremily.

Is there a reason for that? /gen Like,, now it seems like QPR!Tremily is the main thing; was there a reason for the change?

(Sorry if this is worded awkwardly, I'm autistic and kind of intimidated by you; I've been kind of lurking around your blog for a good few years now and you're really good at drawing--)

Actually, I started off shipping tremily, then triva, and then more like Trellis and Emily as a duo

Honestly I can't really explain it, but I think as I got older, what is appealing to me changed somewhat? Maybe it's because I'm aromantic, but I don't see Emily as particularly romantically interested in anyone. Also, I find it very fulfilling that Emily values most is her family, and that he relationship with her brother is the crux of the story. Trellis on the other hand I feel liek he has too many personal demons he needs to deal with first, but I also wanna depict him that he's also just a teenager — ofc he's gonna have some attraction towards his peers and expresses some interest in having a relationship, but I won't necessarily get him together with anyone officially, albeit Riva is my top choice based on the backstory and personality I made for her (which echoes a lot of what Trellis has been through).

The reason why I draw Emily and Trellis in pieces a lot is because of contrast — (although I'm so sorry for that, it's like they're the only characters in Amulet 😭) I'm a huge sucker for characters that look like foils towards one another, and depicting them in pairs enhances the distinction the other has.

Another thing is that, there's just something super appealing to me that two characters serving the same purpose as a romantic partner would typically fill in, that they're intrinsically connected, they know each other better than the back of their own hands, and that they're each other's half they can't really live without, but ultimately they're really just friends. They just don't have any attraction to each other, and love is still present even if they fight or reach the end of their lives.

Also please don't be intimidated, I'm not intimidating at all in real life (although based on how much I complain about the books — this one's on me 😅). If anything I'm so happy that people send me asks and questions 🤗 and also, your wording is fine — rather, I hope my explanation made sense! In truth it feels to big and unexplainable, I guess in summary, it changed because I changed it into something I like 😅

[yonemurishiroku]

Take a seat. The point of romeo and juliet is not the romance. Though it's a part of it. The point is it's a tragedy. And all this tragedy happening because all these dumb rich grown ass adults couldn't get over themselves and had to drag everyone including their own children into their bullshit. I hate when in Romeo and Juliet people focus too much on the romance(sex) aspects. Because that's not the point. The point was that they were so young, and had to hide, and only new each other for such a little time. That the world around them became so horrible. That they thought they had no other option but to kill themselves. Fate is also an aspect of the book. Fate is purposely punishing the two families by making the only heirs in their family fall in love and then commit suicide in such a brutal way. Causing both lines to die out. So when you think about all that. That why I'd love a Percy and Nico aus with this concept. Because god does the universe play with fate and tragedy so much. Because you know its Greek and Roman mythology. But also the gods already having so much horrible petty drama with each other that it affects there kids. I feel like it fits with Percico ship really well.

Oh my. I didn't expect a Romeo and Juliet lesson in my askbox but this is much appreciated, thank you! 🤗

Tbh I have never actually read Romeo and Juliet. Mainly because I'm not particularly interested in romances, and again not capable of Shakespear-level English. I know bits of it through the mainstream media, and that's that. In many ways, I enjoy the concept of tragedy. Heaven knows how I always go for the tragic tales. On the other hand, though, I'm a little averse to romance as a whole, so a story that (supposedly) revolves around young love just loses me from the summary. I don't know how it differs with ships, either, it probably has st with my interpretation of it.

Anyway. Percico and tragedy is indeed a match made in heaven. The gods' petty dramas, as frustrating as they are, can be stimulating purely because of their meaninglessness - bc it means things can just be completely out of your control, sometimes all those dramas just came knocking on your door, worse yet demanding a heavy price you don't want to pay. It's the helplessness that pushes them to keep trying - or just my inclination to tear Percy and Nico apart to see them suffer. Probably the latter.

Percy and Nico's dymanic is also a funny thing, if you get what I mean? I mean. They try so hard to make it right, but as they do so, they fail to catch the other's wavelength, fail to pull the other to their own orbit, so they keep following their own thoughts and ideas, which have been derailing since forever. They try - gods know they try - but it hardly pays off. It feels like the universe conspires to separate them.

And maybe it's the vanity that characterizes Percy and Nico's relationship IMO. I want to see them try, fail, and then try again. It sounds like hopelessness, which it is, but there is beauty in trying, even in hopelessness. And that's what is beautiful to me - when there's no hope, but you'll still go on.

Hey, I was thinking of a oneshot request for MTMTE Rodimus, Megatron, Drift, Whirl, Tarn, Shatted Glass Optimus Prime and Bayverse Ironhide with a Cybertronian S/O who can transform into a weapon (and it depends on what weapon she turns to, depending on who the character she is with). I was thinking it could be a female S/O as well, to make it easier for you cause I'm aware that's a lot of characters lol. Thank you, have a good day/afternoon/night 🤗

oo this is a cool request! this was very fun to write especially since one of my ocs also transforms into a weapon..And I had to exclude Megatron and Ironhide since I sadly don't know how to write for them too well :(

Also I'll be uploading the oneshots separately so that the characters are easier to find and for organization purposes :D hope you don't mind. This post includes Rodimus and Drift

MTMTE Rodimus x Cybertronian!reader

Whenever danger sets afoot on the Lost Light or any other alien planet the crew makes a stop at, Rodimus is immediately looking at you with begging optics. Every time, you would sigh and know exactly what he meant.

Today was one of those cycles, the Lost Light had to make a stop at some random alien planet. According to Ultra Magnus and your significant other, the planet belonged to a bunch of techno-organics that weren't too welcoming to cybertronians. Or rather, which you learned too late, they weren't welcoming to any intruders.

"Alright, alright listen everyone! We're under attack, this planet is apparently defensive against us, but we'll be fi-" Another explosion ringed in the background. "we'll be fine!" Rodimus announced this to the whole crew, which were itching to fight or hiding within the ship.

"We're all gonna die!"

Someone in the crowd yelled, which led to more of the crew muttering to each other and doing the exact opposite of what Rodimus wanted. His optimistic smile faltered as he sighed. You were at his side, as always. You placed a servo on his shoulder in a comforting way.

"Hey, it's alright. We should go help out there though, system's scanner says they're closing in. How about we go protect the crew, yeah?" You said with a smile.

Rodimus seemed to perk up at this. Suddenly, a knowing grin crept onto his face. 3..2..1.."Does this mean...?" His striking blue optics stared down at you expectedly. There he goes. You sigh but nod your helm.

"Yes Rodimus. I'll turn into my alt mode.."

-----

Rodimus was the only bot you trusted enough to wield you in your alt-mode, which happened to be a rather cool-looking plasma rifle. With temperatures reaching to a scorching amount, you and him easily plundered through your attackers. Techno-organics and heat don't mix well, you learned. By the end of it, the nearby location was a nasty mess. But hey, at least you protected the Lost Light in an incredibly badass way. It's not every cycle they see a femme that can turn into a rifle and melt away at her enemies. Rodimus was proud of you, to say the least. He couldn't have a better/more badass conjunx.

He still holds you as you enter the Lost Light once again, to continue on your journey before the planet's inhabitants call for backup or something.

"Can I transform back now?"

"Hmm, nope. I need to make an announcement first, remember?"

"If you drop me again, I swear to Primus Rodimus..."

He groans, you were never going to forgive for that, were you?

MTMTE Drift x Cybertronian!reader

Early on when you embarked upon the Lost Light, you had quickly befriended the third-in-command. You happened to bond over your love for bladed weapons and swords, combat in general. As you got closer, those feelings for each other grew. You were so trusting of him despite his past, despite everything. And yet...he didn't know what your alt-mode was. You had mentioned to the crew and himself that you took the form of a weapon. When asked what kind, you kinda said it depended and left it at that. It wasn't until today that he just had to know.

"Y/N, sweetspark?" You heard your conjunx ask a your side. Currently, you were both in his hab suite, reading some old cybertronian literature Drift recommended. You lifted your helm from the datapad and let out a short hm?

"I never mean to intrude, but I'd still like to see your alt-mode..." HE asked rather cautiously. To be fair, it's not that you were ashamed or anything of your alt mode. However, the mode you chose truly depended on who er...handled you during combat. You have been with Drift for a while, you decided it wouldn't hurt to trust him enough for this. So you sat up from your spot and placed the datapad down.

"Okay, okay Drift. Here we go.."

Your alt-mode depended on your conjunx, gears and metal turned into place as your t-cog worked out its form. Not a second later you fell into Drift's servos, his optics widened as you finished transforming. He thought you were a sniper rifle or some type of gun, he never imagined you transforming into a beautiful and intricate blade. And there you were, on his servos. He would so much compare you to the Great Sword, powerful and he would give his absolute spark to you.

He'll admit, it's a bit trippy to be with a talking sword but he wouldn't change it for a thing. A soft smile made its way onto his face

"Thank you, Y/N."

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Jaheira/Rasaad of course. ;)

Let's see. I see both of them as being very light sleepers, easily woken by noises, stirring, bad dreams, etc. Consequently once they're sharing a bed it becomes somewhat common practice for them to accidentally wake each other up - either jostling each other during normal nighttime movement or because one of them had a nightmare.

Both of them get good at not being bothered by this, over time, and get in the habit of coming half-awake, gauging the situation, coming further awake if the other needs them, or snuggling back in and falling back asleep if nothing is happening.

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

The most obvious one for me to talk about here is my involvement in the BG3 community which has revitalized my creativity from a very very dormant state, gotten me writing again, and introduced me to some really awesome new people who are inspiring to me. :) (Including you! Since you sent this ask I'll go ahead and highlight that I've really been enjoying our conversations about Jaheira and everything else, and that I'm glad we've started chatting! c: )

I'm finally slowly starting to unfurl myself from my Covid isolation and get out and explore the city again - particularly starting to make regular appearances at the local karaoke bar which is definitely helping me rebuild some social confidence that was lacking.

I'm very excited to be settling in to life in my new house and starting to think about the ways I want to customize and personalize it, starting with the recording booth I'm getting set up in the basement.

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately 

Work. 🫠 Without going into specifics about my job on a public post, everything about my work is going to be absolutely nuts through the end of the year and I'm just hanging on for the ride. I'll be very glad to reach 2025, one way or another.

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

Oof, tough choice. The truth is, any fic that I'm that excited about, I'm gonna want to write myself. Probably it would be something about either Jaheira or Karlach or both. (To be honest, I think The Grand Reunion - the Jaheira post-game supposed-to-be-one-shot that has gotten tremendously out of hand - has potential to touch on a LOT of stuff that I think is really important about her character, so that might qualify.)

That said, I think the purpose of this question is for me to highlight other writers I enjoy. Honestly hard for me to pick; there are so many talented writers in this fandom, to the extent that I feel quite intimidated by them at times. However, I'm gonna shout out @eluvisen for their writing of Karlach and @thedarkstrategist for their writing of Shadowzel, both of which are subjects very near and dear to my heart. c:

Gloryyyy 🤗

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both? 

Neither! I prefer canon characters only. Now, I’ll manipulate them around to my whims, changing their characterization in every fic I write, but I have little to no interest in making my own original characters. Any OC I create is a side character for a small, specific purpose, and that’s all I do with them! And I’m not a reader insert gal at all. I simply do not vibe with the idea of being in the narrative myself, and my writing skills do not go well with imagining the perspective of “Reader,” a nebulous character concept whom I do not know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I’ll do PlantStryfe, our beloved small ship! Meryl catches Vash’s eye first, but Nai falls hard for her. He’s both the dad who insists “we’re not getting another cat!” and the cat who hisses from the corner at the new arrival because he wasn’t consulted about this! But he ends up snuggled with Meryl in the end, glaring when Vash comes to take his turn snuggling with her. He doesn’t share well, but since it’s Vash, of course he does, eventually.

20, 23, 28 and 33 👀 🤗

20. Do you work on a single project or many at the same time? How does that work for you?

So typically I'll have a main fic I'm working on (usually something for Settle Our Bones), an "easy fic" (short little oneshot with a much simpler plot), and then a "decoy fic" (super complicated story that I keep on the back burner for the express purpose of making my other fics seem more manageable by comparison).

BUT JUST YESTERDAY I actually finished my first draft of the decoy fic that I've been writing at the speed of like, two sentences per week for the last 3 years, so look out for that potentially seeing the light of day in the near future 😅

23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

Dialogue, 1000%. I am a very auditory person, so I sort of "hear" the characters talking as I write, if that makes sense. But omg, I cannot visualize people or settings to save my life. Like, I have no freaking clue what Wayne Manor looks like or how the rooms are connected to each other in my stories. I just imagine like, a single piece of it at a time?

It's like in the game Among Us, how as you move about the ship, only a small area gets illuminated and you can't see the rest of the map. That's how I write. Like if the scene is set in the kitchen and Alfred is cooking something at the stove, I can kind of picture a stove. But then the second that Alfred turns and walks over to the table, the stove image is gone from my mind and I can picture the table, but not where the table is in the room in relation to the stove. It's super frustrating—I don't know how to like, see the whole room at once.

28. Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?

If you suddenly start hating your entire WIP and want to delete everything, you either need to eat a snack or go to bed.

33. Give your writing a compliment.

I feel like I'm pretty good at comedic timing! Gotta get that punchline in, baby 😎

20 questions for fic writers

Ahhh, thank you so much for the tag, @milkteamoon and @cnnmonbimee !!! 💜💖🤗

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

Oh my goodness — 297!! But a lot of them are pretty short. Many one-shots.

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

1,051,086 words!~ I’ve had this account for over 10 years now hehehe. Crossed a million words this last year!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I’ve written for many many fandoms tbh — mostly Homestuck, Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun and New Danganronpa v3. But if I have Stuff to Say About Characters or Worlds, I often say it through fanfic.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

- Alright, Place Your Bets! —> part 1 of my first Saiouma phantom thief AU from way back when~ NDRV3… 3,212 words!

- Hey, Deal Another Round! —> part 3 of that same Saiouma phantom thief AU. This one’s 5,421 words.

- Now, Show Your Hand! —> lol, and this one is part 2 of that AU! (A bit curious that part 3 has more kudos than part 2, mm?) 4,535 words!

- Things Could Be Worse… No, Really. —> here’s another Saiouma AU. >:D A take on that Love Across the Universe: Dangan Salmon Team side-game. All three of these are from 2017 + early 2018!! This one’s 3,253 words.

- Surprise Visit —> and here’s the outlier! This one’s about Dionysus and Ariadne in Percy Jackson. She pays him a visit hehehe. 3,631 words~

5. Do you respond to comments?

I definitely try!! 💜💖 it can take me a while sometimes, but yes, responding is always the goal.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ahahaha that’s a tricky one!! If we’re talking about analysis/character study fics, possibly Little Clown Frozen… as I lament certain developments in Homestuck. If we’re talking about AUs, possibly Terrible Wanting’s dark end… (that’s one of my JSHK Hananene vampire AUs! It has multiple endings, one of which is a looooot softer than the other)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I think most of my AUs have pretty happy endings, with at least a tinge of hope. I’m not sure what the happiest might be!! Maybe Supernatural Stakeout at the Kamome Science Museum! — the longest thing I’ve written for Hananene… even Natsuhiko ends up doing more okay than expected in that one. But I guess “happiest” is subjective, and I’ve written a looooootttt

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Hmm I’ve gotten some weird comments and bot comments and all, but not what I’d call “hate.”

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nah. I do write gory stuff/stuff I’ve rated M for other reasons, and very occasionally I’ve hinted at suggestive topics, but… nah.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Hehehe yeah I do! The craziest one? Hmm. I was the first person to write about The Starlight Calliope on Ao3, when I crossed it over with Homestuck… but that mash-up’s not really so bizarre, given how both properties were made by the same guy.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I really hope not!!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah, I have!!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah, but not a lot of that’s made it to Ao3 so far. I’ve written quite a lot of casual stuff with my friends over the years/I still have some more formal projects in the works with friends. Some of which involve OCs, but I’m still gonna call them “fic” for my purposes here. :p

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I’m most invested in Gamkar, Hananene and Saiouma……… I love all those ships. My favorite might depend on the moment.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I always have a lot of ideas/half-started things floating around in my Notes app. I guess one example would be a NDRV3/Magic the Gathering crossover I drafted completely but ended up unhappy with. Maybe someday I’ll go back to it and see if there’s stuff worth salvaging, but… idk.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Hmmm… I really like writing descriptions and atmosphere and stuff. I like Narration Voices and flavor.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting out longer-form things is more of a challenge for me, I think. Devoting a lot of emotion and time to one project — I can get impatient. Also, knowing for-sure that something is finished… sometimes I hold onto things for months, other times I might post them before they’re ready because I just want to Peel Off The Band-Aid. Also, I get really shy!! I am probably going to worry about these answers once I post them.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don’t write out dialogue in other languages in my fics, though if they’re speaking something besides what the perspective voice is speaking/if they change the language they’re using in a scene I might say that. Sometimes I’ll use words/honorifics from another language, but that’s different, I think.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

lol I used to pass notes/messages back and forth with wild, unafraid crossovers of everything my friends and I liked. Idk what I personally introduced first. Maybe Fullmetal Alchemist? I only started posting fanfic online under my current name thanks to an irl friend’s encouragement, and that was much later.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Oh geez. That probably changes from moment to moment, too!! Idk! (I typed up a paragraph here about my longest fic, and which fic made me most nervous to post, etc etc etc, but that ended up being kind of a lot!)

Hmmm….. tagging peopleeeeee…….. if you’d like to be tagged by me, please consider yourself hereby tagged!! (And if you let me know you’ve answered, I’d love to read what you have to say!)

What do you think about Trey x Brooklyn's Ship? Personally i like it because it can make Trey change his attitude but i want to know what you think 🤗

Uuugghhhhh, I had a feeling someone will ask me this eventually lololol ghasksllpwsksk 😂

Okay. Okay. Personally, I’m 50-50 about it. Neutral so to say. Like I don’t hate the Trey and Brooklyn plotline going on right now in A Touch of Magic but at the same time I’m not like “oh they look so cute together!” or rooting for them to be a couple.

And to be perfectly honest with you all, I don’t see it happening… like ever. I just don’t feel any chemistry between them. 😬

Why? Well for one, I don’t really ship characters together if one of them isn’t interested in the other (aka: the one sided love). Plus we’ve had only had one season of this plot point, so safe to say it’s still too early to tell if the writers will go all the way with Trey and Brooklyn (for all we know, this could be just a running gag for filler purposes).

And two, as much as I love my boy Trey, right now he doesn’t possess the qualities of a good partner. Sure yeah, as an individual he’s hilarious, sensitive, secretly has a good heart, and iconic in his own right. But as a boyfriend? Nope, not sure he’s a good one.

Of course, I won’t hold it against you if you ship them together. This is just my personal opinion.

If Brooklyn can change Trey’s attitude and help him develop endearing “boyfriend material” qualities… sure why not? Maybe it will convince me that this is a ship worth rooting for.

But right now, I just don’t see it yet. 🫤

Hello! For the character ask- Kelso. 😅

Thank you! 🤗

Sexuality (canon): heterosexual, heteroromantic, allosexual, gray-romantic.

Sexuality headcanon: Same as above with an openness to him being bi-romamtic but demi-romantic toward anyone but women.

Gender Identity (canon): Cis male.

Gender Identity headcanon: Cis male but sometimes gender non-conforming in gender expression if he believes he looks hot dressed and made up more femininely (which is actually canon but only explicitly in one episode and more subtly depicted in one or two others).

Ship: Kelso and Brooke.

Brotp: Kelso and Fez.

Notp: Kelso and Jackie.

General Headcanon: Kelso's narcissistic wounding, especially toward women, stems from his parents having seven kids and neither parent having enough time to give attention to all of them or set proper boundaries. Since Mrs. Kelso, from the nearly nothing the show tells about her, is likely a stay-at-home mom while John Kelso is the "breadwinner" (and must make enough money as an analytical statistician for his large family to be middle class), the focus of Kelso's anger is on his mom.

The deep vacuum of maternal love Kelso carries inside him manifests as a sex addiction, possessiveness and a sense of ownership toward Jackie, and both chasing and avenging the maternal love and attention he was deprived of through compulsive sex with a many women and making promises of fidelity while having no intention of keeping them. The same way his mom promised to be faithful and attentive to all of her kids by having them but, in actuality, betrays this promise (to Kelso's subconscious mind).

Kelso's maliciousness toward Jackie in seasons 2 - 5 is a trigger response. Viewing her self-care and boundaries as betrayal and punishing her for it how he wished he could punish his mom.

Growing up in the home he did, he learned how to be conniving and commit acts of premeditated malice as a survival technique. A lack of common sense doesn't preclude an ability to manipulate purposely and with forethought, as he demonstrates throughout the series.

Side Note: I have a post in drafts that highlights just how capable of premeditated schemes he is. The intention is to pull out every example from every episode of T7S S1-S7 where applicable. I became mentally tired after the first two episodes ("Streaking" [1x03]) and "The Keg" [1x06]). Kelso might be an idiot, but he's not stupid. Writing an exhaustive list would be good to have on the record, but facts -- no matter how consistent and myriad -- can't always break through strongly held opinions.

Opinion on the Character: I wish the show had allowed him to keep growing and changing instead of reverting him back to status quo. Bits and pieces of likeable elements exist within him, beyond the amusement his antics cause (mostly thanks to AK's comic timing). But, with rare exception, he serves as an antagonistic, oft-malicious, chaotic force on the show. Like a masked clown in Commedia dell'arte, certain behaviors and choices are expected of him, and the writers deliver (instead of the actor improvising within the character's type).

Hey fanfic writer asks 🥺 😈👀🤗 please : )

Hii! Thank you!

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

I am a sucker for forehead kissing and gentle intimacy. Like gentle touches and soft words, all that. I love inserting it when I can and it just makes me feel so good to have it in there. A lot of the bits I'm proudest of contain some form of gentle intimacy.

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

Enigmatic Confections has a few! In my defense, I was planning on stuff similar to what ended up in there, but I decided to have some fun with it when I actually got around to writing it.

A lot of foreshadowing stuff was strategically placed to be playfully mean because I'm a girl that loves causing some gentle drama. 😂

Other times, the 'playfully mean' isn't exactly purposeful beyond thinking 'oh [reader] is going to love this I can't wait to see their reaction! 😈'.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Oh, my goodness, there's so many! Let me pick one I think you'll enjoy.

I am very into my Sanctuary + Clans and Marriages!

The premise is that Helen is the ascending queen of a clan and Gregory has brokered alliances with the other four principal clans (Druitt, Griffin, Tesla, and Watson) on the condition that Helen marry one of the heirs of her choosing.

The story goes through Helen not wanting this marriage, even though she gets to choose out of the four, and she gets to know all of them before she chooses. But another condition of this deal is that she cannot be crowned until she has chosen a spouse, because he will be raised in rank alongside her.

War ends up brewing and Helen realizes just how important the alliances are and she has to take drastic measures to make sure that all of them are safe.

Basically, a lot of Disney's Brave vibes, mixed with romance and drama and surprise twists and turns.

And when I publish, I'm not going to tag the ship of the marriage, to keep the suspense for the readers.

🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

Write for you and don't get discouraged if people don't respond to your stories. (Even veteran authors are getting less engagement these days, so it's not just you).

Don't let others change what you want to write and press that block button freely if you have to. You're doing this for your enjoyment and if someone doesn't like that, you don't have to share the joy with them.
