Shop talk!! Where did the inspiration for Abby as a character come from? Are there any characters or people who have inspired what makes her ✨her✨? And how do she and Aegon compliment each other?

(apologies, this came in after I went to bed and then I spent the last five hours driving across three states)

Oooh! I haven't gotten an ask like this in so long and I forget there are new people who might be interested!!!

(@selfproclaimedunicorn did the first Abby fanart! and @murmel-malt did this one for xmas!)

So in Fire & Blood, it's stated that Lyonel Strong became Master of Laws when Viserys took the throne, brought his sons Harwin and Larys and two maiden daughters to serve as Rhaenyra's ladies. So Abby was originally a friend of Rhaenyra and Alicent, and stayed by Alicent's side when she became queen because show-wise, Alicent is so fucking isolated. Like it HURTS to see how isolated she is, and I wanted her to have a friend, and someone who would try to be peacemaker between the two.

Right from the start, Abby was always meant to be kind. She's what I call proto-Sansa Stark: just embodying a lot of the traditional ladylike qualities I would always see Sansa getting lambasted for. I really wanted to create a character who could be kind and strong and that be just as valid as someone scheming or good with a sword. I wanted to write a girly-girl to embrace that femininity that I rejected as a teenager cause yay internalized misogyny!

But man, lemme tell you, I was struggling with her. I had this framework, but I didn't have a story for her. Frankly, for awhile, I thought that Alicent might encourage her to marry Otto for protection or something. I just didn't know what was going to happen to her.

So I decided to try roleplay her in some roleplay groups and toss her against other characters and see what I could come up with. It's something I've always done with original characters and I wasn't committed to writing a fic yet. and then my friend Ramses goes 'what if we did an AU and you throw her at Aegon?' (so age down Abby so her and Aegon are the same age vs her being his mother's age) because the type of character she was, she might be good with Aegon.

And then... the rest is history. Putting Abby against Aegon basically unlocked that third eye and suddenly Abby's story and her place in the world of Westeros clicked: She's someone the Team Green kids needed.

With Abby, Helaena could have a friend her age who accepted her for who she was, Aemond had a nerdy friend who enjoyed books, and Aegon? Aegon had a friend who always supported him, who he got to play conquering hero to her damsel in the games they'd play as children. a young!Abby took one look at the wet eyed cat boy and immediately went I'll love you and I'll show you how wonderful I think you are.

Aegon and Abby are definitely foils for each other. Abby thinks of others first, Aegon doesn't. He goes in on himself in his melancholy, she goes outside of herself. They are both desperate to please in their own ways, they are incredibly hungry for love. They are both outsiders in their worlds, and alone except for each other. Abby has the patience that Aegon needs, and Aegon has the ego to push Abby to be more 'selfish' and look out for herself more. In Abby, Aegon can take care of someone, he can look outside of himself and be there for someone. In Aegon, Abby can let herself be cared for. There's patience and there's drive, there's possessiveness and feralness from both of them. Both of these kids are unwell, Abby just... masks it better? It's not as obvious? (she's named for an Asshai blood priestess and is heiress to the haunted castle of your nightmares my happy sunshine baby is not well)

As for characters that inspired her and make her HER, the number one is very much Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. Fruba is one of my favorite stories of all time, and it's a story about the cycle of abuse and generational trauma, and Tohru is the sunshine bubbly light girl... who is hiding her own grief and guilt at the loss of her mother. The fear that finding happiness again meaning she'd forgotten/lost her mother. And she takes on everyone's pain but does not share her own. And that always really resonated with me. It's very real. And it's a story that resonated to me along with Sansa's that I could appreciate as I was older.

I'm so sorry there's SO MUCH RAMBLING and I have no idea if this makes any sense. I don't know if I talk about Abby enough - I'm not used to getting questions about her LOL so thank you for this!

I think that's all? If you want to talk you can send me a DM or an ask <3

[basicallyjaywalker]

For the ask game: I can’t remember the emoji but what is your favourite season :D

Gee!!! Thank you for the ask!!

So far? Definitely Tournament, but I feel like that will change when I finish the series. I've been told S8-11 are amazing and I feel like Prime Empire will wrap me in a warm blanket and give me cocoa because I adore characters being put in a video game (the one Phineas and Ferb episode where they put themselves in a game was a fave of mine :D)

But yeah, Tournament because a) wow what a great time to make my OCs and the Ninja interact! b) general world expansion, new elemental masters opening the gateway for a lot of creativity, c) the ending makes my heart ow, and d) i just generally gravitate towards it! On my in-progress seasons tierlist, this is in the tier titled, well

So you can imagine my feelings are strong

[vampire-exgirlfriend]

Shop talk!! What would you say is the easiest part of the writing process for you, and which do you find the most challenging?

ooooh, gee, this is a good one! thank you!

i think the easiest thing about the writing process for me is characterization. i've had a strong base there since college and it's made character creation and diving into characters heads feel a bit easier for me. it's literally like sticking a bug in a jar and studying it lol reduce this character down to the sum of their parts and then put them back together and behold your own frankenstein's monster! i've never felt like i needed to relate to a character to value them and i think this is a huge gift to me in this regard (especially in this day and age in fandom/fic/canon interpretations). there are always going to be characters that we don't like, and it's hard to not let them be totally tainted by that, but i think that allowing the character to be who they are, and attempting to understand their thoughts and feelings outside of how we personally feel about them, is what lets a character breathe and feel like a real person.

definitely the most challenging is pacing. i struggle hard with pacing. i feel like events in my stories either happen to fast or two slow and i end up rage crying over the perceptions on the pacing, because it's always either too much breathing room or not enough. like, looking back at the first five chapters of haunt me, i can easily see now where that should have been a minimum of eight chapters. but i was afraid if i stretched it out too far, people would lose interest. i was afraid i wasn't capable of getting that much meat off the bone plot wise. and in a lot of ways, i let that fear creep up (the voice of the fear sounds a lot like one of my analysis professors) and dictate the direction of the story. this is something that i've been actively working on throughout the last 27 chapters of haunt me, and hopefully, it'll be less prevalent in my next story.
