((Send in an ask with a star emoji and/or a fic/ficlet title and I'll give you some commentary on it :O!!))

A fun lil fact about Sunny Side Up: I was trying vv hard to give lil Lup Hints throughout the fic without being super duper obvious. Some of them are vv,,, grasping at straws, but it was fun nonetheless sldkfsd Most ppl have figured out this line-

“For you?” Tía asked. “You mean I have to share these three helpings of huevos rancheros instead of eating them all by myself?”

-bc obviously, Taako and his Tía are only two ppl. But here are some more!!

When they weren’t cooking or practicing magic, Tía would sit with him and teach him how to wind up her hair in intricate styles

As someone who hc's Taako with (pretty) short hair, this line was also a reference to Lup. Namely, because I imagine Lup would have liked to grow her hair out, but neither of them had anywhere to learn how to put it up beside a regular ponytail.

The worst part was just that he was alone.

Obviously, all mentions of Taako being alone is a somewhat indirect references to Lup, but this is one of the first major ones that pop up. And this one, too, ofc-

Taako needed someone on his side. Fame might be all he ever wanted, but it was isolating all the same. Now, more than ever before.

I think a Lot about if Lup had actually been able to be with Taako during the redaction and how that would change him/how he acts. I always try to make it very obvious that Taako is yearning for something, but he cannot physically know what. Having a bodyguard is a smart move, but I don't think Taako would have ever considered it if he hadn't felt so alone.

The "now, more than ever before" is a very direct reference to the redaction, because before, even in his fake memories, there was/always will be a sense of... not complete loneliness. Because Lucretia can erase Lup, and take her out of the memories, but she can't change how Taako feels in those memories. It only changes how he looks back on them.

Before Sazed, it was the first time Taako had truly ever been alone.

He had almost forgotten how awful it was out on the road.

This one, also, is a very indirect reference to Lup, for the same reasons as above. It wasn't that bad before because it wasn't like that before.

I think that's all :O there's more in the subtext, I'm sure, but all of these are at least intentional sdlfsfd

He's really bad at not just snapping at customers when they're being dickheads.

That's what got him fired from Rainforest Café. Not exactly a big loss, the rainstorms gave him migraines most days anyway.

I'm rereading Come Hell or High Water and it's even more fun the second time around. I'm truly blown away by how in character and McElroy brand the humor is.

AAAAAAAH THANK U SO MUCH!!!!!! it means a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your Balance Spotify playlist is so good. I've had it on repeat for the past week.

Where does Taako's surname come from in the Broken Engagement AU?

It comes from one of my very favorite taz fics of all time which is Bureau of Badass by @bureauofbadass on tumblr and Chemicallywrit and miceenscene on Ao3. I’ve always loved it and I needed a last name that Kravitz maybe wouldn’t have recognized. It’s been in my head for modern!au iterations of Taako for a while now, so it was nice to be able to incorporate it.

[charmandhex]

And Death Do We Start is already so much fun! THB reunion tour let's go!!

Thank you! I’m very much looking forward to their various shenanigans!

[raychleadele]

@hellawrath It’s this one!

(Huh that link looks funny, hope it works???)

“The Family We Build in the Meantime” by chaWOOPa is one of my favorites - it’s a two part fic and beware, there seems to have been a formatting error in uploading it, because Part 2 actually comes before Part 1, so like. Keep that in mind. You gotta read it “out of order” to get the story in the right order. But it’s a real quick read that packs a lot of emotions into it, where Taako is Angus’ dad and raises him and it’s precious.

Writing fic for something where you haven’t engaged with the original content in a while is weird, because you’ll have moments like “wait didn’t this character lose their leg in this battle? Why can’t I remember?” And then you realize no, that was just a really good fic you read too many times and apparently you forgot it wasn’t canon, the character’s leg is fine actually.

#18 for the ao3 wrapped?

((writers wrapped here! send some in!))

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Godddd, good question. The first one that came to mind was probably Taako? But I can't recall any struggles off the top of my head, so I'm gonna go with Lucretia instead. I'm still writing a very Lucretia-and-Merle-centric wip and it's been a Rough Time. i know how i want her to be and how she's supposed to Sound but translating pre-cycle 65 to post-cycle 65 lucretia can be tough!

Tagged by @noodyl-blasstal (thank you!!) tagging @hellawrath and @dyketaako if y’all wanna give it a whirl :-)

Characters out of context

➥ Include one character quote — of your choosing ⁠— from each chapter of your WIP (or as many chapters as you'd like).

➥ Give absolutely no context, save for what's between two parts of an interrupted sentence, should that occur. You may mention who said it.

From Sugar-coated Ozone

Ch.1: "Not that I uh, don't like the attention," Taako said, "but that is a pretty intense stare you've got there."

Ch.2: “Did you have a late rehearsal with Sloane and Killian?” Johann asked before Kravitz disappeared back into his room. 

Ch.3: Kravitz – "Julia, I cannot stress enough that if you make fun of me about this, I might actually die. You will have to finish this astronomy lab next to a dead body."

Ch.4: (working on this chapter now 😅 here’s some scrapped dialogue that may or may not be used in later scenes) “You wanna go out for drinks to celebrate?” Killian asked, stretching her arms above her head as she stood up. “Carey’s bartending at The Bureau tonight, we could probably get free beers.

I've been so hyped about the community theatre au since you first started talking about it. I cannot wait to read it.

eeeeee thank you!!!! it's slow going because I know it's going to be two separate small fics surrounding two different productions but I'm not sure how they're going to pan out other than that!!!
