#helplessness is a bitch of a feeling and i will make alice and barry feel it. TOGETHER.

[taniushka12]

for hypotenuse, 2 and 11, and for alan/zane artistic cannibalism, 15 and 20!

thank you!!! under the cut bc it got long u_u

[unwritten/unfinished fic ask game]

Hypotenuse

2. How did you get the idea to write this?

the question is how did anyone ELSE not had this idea before! i love the trope of a character being so worried abt someone it starts seeping into everything they do, and i just think alice and barry should vent that frustration with each other :) 👍

11. Is there any scene you can't wait for people to react to when reading? Why?

so the fic is an tense argument/fight between the two, right? nitpicking abt stuff then building up around the point (the fact that they're both worried sick abt alan's declining mental health and just dont know how to help him) getting more upset bc the other person doesn't help, until it reaches a crescendo where they both (mostly barry but yknow) accidentally reveal some jealousy and other stuff abt the other in regard to alan, and the scene goes silent in mortification and embarrassment and the awful, awful realization that they're not so different after all u_u i DREAM of having that peak written and -in an ideal world- people going fucking insane over it like...

fucking imagine you tell your bestie's wife that you're practically jealous of her, 📣📣📣 to her face

artistic cannibalism (name pending)

15. Do you have any unwritten scene that you think about a lot?

theeee very beginning where they're yknow drinking and kissing and touching and zane starts spouting some conceptual & poetic nonsense abt the necessity of an artist to consume other artists and how art in itself is an act of cannibalism etc etc etc and how Surely This Time This'll Do The Trick to get em out of the dark place, Trust Me, and the moment the story takes a turn from erotic to horror

i just love rambling about conceptual bullshit in fics, i might not be very good writing smut but i can do a mad rambling for SURE and i cant wait to write it.....

(also spoiler, it does not get them out of the dark place, but it does make a Great movie in zane's mind)

20. Give a vague description of something that will happen without revealing too much

hmmm... well the scene starts with alan and zane, but it doesn't end with those two. acute fans will know what i mean 😏
