He wasn’t sure what his expression was like, but judging from the way a trainee all but leaped to hide behind a potted plant, it couldn’t be too pretty.

Han Wenqing in a bad mood is a danger to everyone’s heart health (chp. 1)

When he was eight, his aunt reassured him that the soulmate he didn’t know would be the most gorgeous girl he ever knew. It was a good thing she wasn’t a fortune teller, because Han Wenqing, funnily enough, did not tick any of those boxes.

The story you're proudest of: 

"Sins Unexplored", this longfic about Entrapta and Hordaks developing relationship and how their disabilities and trauma affect that.

Not just is it fairly long for my standards and I wrote longer than a year on it, I also put so much of myself and my own experiences in it, and, and that sounds pretentious about a fic, but these are such important topics, ableism and disability and queerness and how that affects someone. I even got feedback from people feeling seen in it!

Your story that's gotten the most love online:

Again "Sins Unexplored", absolutely justified.

Tease a current WIP or idea you're working on: 

Oh god I have so many Uglies fics in my folders to publish somewhen after the movie came out and the fandom resurrected, most of them about Tally/Shay post-canon, shortly after Extras, and how their trauma and neurodivergence and body image issues affect their relationships (see a pattern?)

Your top 3 fandoms:

Babylon 5 - Because this fandom is like the toxic ex I just can't get rid off

She-Ra - Because this was, despite how incredibly toxic the fandom and how... badly executed some parts of the series were, the first time I not just saw someone like me in mainstream media, but relationships like mine, between two disabled queer people

Star Trek Discovery - First femslash ship I ever had! But then the series did a 180° and I didn't even finish it, and by now I write much more Locked Tomb or Uglies

Your top 3 ships:

Delenn/Lennier (Babylon 5)- Just the femdom and how this is both messy and complicated and badly communicated but also so deep and loving. Ruthless but wise high priestess turned politician/younger, naive monk who is her assistant. Not healthy, but fun, and wow are they both pretty.

Entrapta/Hordak (She-Ra) - They're mad scientists. They are also deeply traumatized and lonely disabled people bonding over being different. Also femdom. And a really sexy monster boy design, and Entrapta is hot too.

Katrina Cornwell/L'Rell - An alien torturer and an human admiral, meeting as enemies, but coming to respect each other. Both women. The have exactly two (2) scenes together, but wow is their chemistry intense.

Rec someone else's fic:

Don't really read that much fic right now, so this is a bit difficult. The last really good one I read was:

"A Star Chart In Rotation" by halcyonine, which shows the tender beginnings of the doomed relationship of Teixcalaan Emporer Six Direction, future Empress Nineteen Adze and Lsel ambassador Yskandr Aghavn from "A Memory Called Empire". It is just so bittersweet, and gets the dynamic and worldbuilding so right.

Pick one!

Fluff or Angst (Fluff is nice sometimes too, but I love how deeply Angst can go into how a character works)

Oneshots or longfics (Both for writing and reading, because while longfics are amazing, I just don't have the energy for them most of the time)

Canon compliance or canon divergence (If I would want canon, I would watch or read the media. Also canon divergence just has so much more possibilities)

AO3 or FF.net (Not just the better functionality, the culture there feels much more open and welcoming, and also smut is allowed)

my fic for the qzgs big bang is out! well, partially at least. can you believe this fic in its various incarnations has been rolling around in my head for literal years?? and i only managed to put it down now??

well if you can’t that’s ok bc I can, procrastination is great

a n y w a y I didn’t tag it slow burn but honestly should have lmao, the other half of the pairing doesn’t even show up until 10k words in! that’s halfway! it’s only a 20k fic!

[nullians]

Thank you @creoterative for the tag :D

Favourite time of the year: I’m torn between winter (no bugs and lots of holidays) and spring (warm, green but bugs dhdhdjdhfj)

Comfort food: rice soup

Do you collect things: Do pngs of game characters count? (<- my collection of Naruto Online pictures is still growing) … I don’t think so… Well, then it’s probably artbooks from the series I like (for example The King’s Avatar), keychains & badges and all that small weeb merch.

Favourite drink: Milk, I gotta flex that lactose tolerance in front of my family : P But I’m also a big fan of apple and orange juice.

Current favourite song: I’ve been reliving the experience of listening to Blood Circulator by Asian Kung-Fu Generation lately…

Favourite song: … Very hard choice but I think I haven’t been obsessed with any song longer than “I wanna be…” by Spyair. Gintama is a life changing experience but I think the song as a stand alone also manages to deliver the impact.

Favourite fic: Okay I think this one is the hardest choice djdjfjjf Er, if I have to choose. If I really have to. Then I think the fanfiction I come back to the most is “Northwest, the autumn” by halcyonine on Ao3. I love TKA with the entirety of my soul and this is only multiplied by this work’s very thoughtful take on how the future beyond the canon work could look like. Very touching writing about grief, legacy, how it is to move on and age and still be there with the people you love (it’s not necessarily romantic. Actually romance is the least explored kind of love in this work and canon series). Each time I reread it a rare feeling of peace and contentment falls on me. It’s a perfect story about how life might have hardships and yet the strength necessary to live and thrive through them lies in community.

Tagging: @mangoberri @mulletfriend @celeryw @crazymadredfox @garbatge @vulpiximisa @laggingbehindreality @owls-den @rottenautopilot @emurinnartist

I think not all of you like to talk on tumblr dot com (and especially in the body of the post instead in the tags) so please treat this simply as a nudge and “I thought about you” than anything else :3

rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know better.

tagged by: @freshcut-chetney & @zacsfron <33333 mwah!

favorite time of year: autumn, altho it’s been 13 years since i last experienced it lol

comfort food: omelets :))

do you collect something: nothing specific but i do have a lot of trinkets in my room. some i just use for decor, some i turn into jewelry, most are just hidden in a box under my bed lol

favorite drink: man idk four seasons juice ig

favorite song: watch what happens by chris montez

current favorite song: painting the chagall

favorite fic: i either i hyperfixate on fics or don’t read fics for years and sadly its the latter u__u

On a bright early morning, two weeks after season nine ended, Chen Guo opened the door expecting takeaway. There wasn’t any takeaway. What she received instead was the frightened appearance of one of her internet café workers, who couldn’t have looked more frightened if someone had pressed a gun to his head and made him walk there. And behind him, well… “Is Ye Xiu inside?” Han Wenqing asked, exceedingly polite. Chen Guo just stared mutely. Why wasn’t it takeaway?

Chen Guo was not prepared for this (chp. 1)

If poking a sleeping tiger was already unwise, then this was a tiger fully awake and utterly pissed off, and poking it was an action so beyond unwise it probably reached into suicidal.
