🪩 👾

Thanks for sending this and sorry for taking so long. >.<

🪩 Do you have any “good” writing habits you want to cultivate?

Writing detailed outlines of my ideas instead of just noting down the basics —besides making writing easier, it helps the idea to feel more real than if it's only in my head. I'd also like to start writing at night again. Nowadays, I rarely have the energy to stay up late writing, but there's something special about working on a story when the whole world is silent and there are no distractions.

👾 Do you have any “bad” writing habits you want to break?

Putting off writing when I want to write. It's so frustrating, especially when I've just finished something and my brain feels like there's no need to keep writing right away. I want to write more and procrastinate less.

Tag Game

Thanks Dory @hklnvgl for tagging me in this! It's my first tag game in forever, so I had fun!

Last Song: I’m listening to old BBC Proms stuff, so I’m rewatching the 2015 Beethoven’s 9 Choral (my favourite piece of music ever) that I attended. I was in the choir seats, because the acoustics are shit in the Albert Hall. I just burst into tears at 3.19 on the track

Last TV Show: The last new thing I watched all the way through was The Queen’s Gambit (yeah I’m late to the party I know). It was very good It would’ve been even better if we were ever allowed to forget she’s a long-legged beauty acting the part of a chess prodigy

Currently Watching: I just watched the first two episodes of Emily in Paris - I was curious because Paris. Well, that was a mistake! As a palette cleanser I’ll watch some DS9 before I start on Sandman *rubs hands together gleefully*

Currently Reading: A Conspiracy of Kings (Queen’s Thief series). Gen is baby ofc, but I am in love with Helen (Eddis) and want to be her consort, if she’ll have me

pynch at the beach? 💛

"You're going to get a sunburn."

"You're going to get an ulcer."

"Yeah, probably," Adam agrees. "How is my ulcer supposed to negate your sunburn?"

"I don't want to put on sunscreen," Ronan says, half-expecting Adam to argue you can't change reality just by wanting it bad enough. "I want to drag your ass into the ocean." He tugs on Adam's arm again.

Adam digs his heels into the sand and doesn't budge. Fuck, why does he have to be so stubborn; fuck, Ronan loves that he's so stubborn.

"Lynch, we drove two hours to get here," he says. "We're damn well not leaving until we've done everything we want to do. You have time to prevent skin cancer and shove me under a wave."

Ronan squints through the impossible brightness of the day, staring hard to see Adam -- his Adam, Adam Parrish, telling him that they don't have to pick and choose which desires to chase, that they don't have to ration joy, that today they can have everything we want.

He thumps down on his ass next to their beach towel, "fine, get it over with," and lets Adam take care of him.

[crushpdf]

Adam for the character ask? 💛

favorite thing about them

He's very deliberate. Nothing he does is accidental. So when he's being cold, he's doing it fully on purpose. And when he's letting loose, that's something he's thought about and allowed himself to be. It also means that, although he has very rocky relationships with, well, everyone: Gansey and Ronan and Blue, he deliberately puts in the effort to maintain them.

least favorite thing about them

He's so insistent on being alone. I understand that trust is hard for him, but it's frustrating to watch him push people away time after time.

favorite line

I don't have the energy to scan all the books, but I love bitchy Adam. Anything like "That's the biggest lie you've ever told" or "Not in this car you haven't," any of those roasts I just love.

brOTP

I would do anything for adansey, romantic OR platonic. Additional shoutout to Chainsaw and Opal though

OTP

(Again, adansey makes me lose my mind but) I really fucking love pynch

nOTP

There are some that don't make sense to me, but nothing makes me go 🙅‍♀️

random headcanon

I think Adam had a crush on Ronan first. I think he saw him from afar, or heard him be Super Smart in Latin, and was like 👀 And then the second he got a glimpse of Ronan's personality he was like NO THANKS.

unpopular opinion

I've been vibing with TDT!Adam. I think it's genuinely fucking insane that he drove 16 hours to visit Ronan on Halloween (I will never shut up about how most of CDTH takes place on fucking Halloween) but I boil that down to a mstief impracticality. But yeah! I'd be bored with three books of a smooth sailing relationship, so I've enjoyed his character treatment so far.

song i associate with them

Many, of course, but I like this one a lot: I Am - James Arthur

favorite picture of them

There is SO MUCH good Adam art out there but I really like @cowboymoonking's Adam (here's an example)

[catboynecromancy]

12 for the fic ask game? 💛

Dory!! Ty!! 🥰

12. Favorite physical location you wrote in? - I did some (but not a lot) of my writing this year underneath the huge maple(?) tree in my back yard 😊

Pics for reference!

[piningeddiediaz]

19 fornthe unpopular asks? 💛

hi!!

19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

i’n in quite a few lol but for trc i think it’s probably some people’s insistence on pretending their character is perfect and had no flaws. the reason why i love the trc characters so much is because they are all flawed, and the whole point of their character arc is them working on those flaws! adam’s pride, gansey’s tendency to try control everyone’s lives - all of it forms a part of what makes them the very well written characters they are, so i hate it when people try to act like those flaws don’t exist bcos it takes away from their growth throughout the entire series!

marvel, it’s kind of the same thing. i hate seeing a*ti t*ny because every single time i see it i just think.... did we even watch the same movies? did we not see him try to make amends? did we not see him do whatever he can to fix his mistakes, including die to save the universe? yeah he is far from a perfect character, but that’s exactly why he’s my favourite! he makes mistakes, he owns up to them, and then he tries to fix them. he takes responsibility, which isn’t what many others do. i love steve, steve is my number 1 favourite, but he’s so stuck in what he thinks is right he doesnt consider that other people might be right too. and i hate how the fandom can both hate on certain characters for the same things they’re perfectly fine with other characters doing (<< this one applies to pretty much every fandom im in, including trc)

[ailec-12]

🛒?

Thanks, dearie!

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Angst, found family and hurt/comfort are probably my most recurrent tags, but regarding specific imagery, there are two scenes that I love including in every story: that moment when a character realises they're loved and being taken care of while sick.

Writer Emoji Ask 💚

[of-stars-and-moon]

🍰?

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave)

dory how can you ask me to only say one?? i tried my best and narrowed it down to four!

i'll be there for you because its two of my fav things and the best friends to lovers trope in this is just perfect!

Talk some sense to me one of my fav fake dating fics ever!

skinny fleas you know this was coming :D i love kidfics and this one is both so sweet and heartbreaking at times!

10 yards to go i think this is the first long fic i've read that has like no angst and it has really cute moments!

thanks for the ask!!

[parakeatswrites]

soulmates for the trope rating? 💛

Soulmates is a very Fuck! Yes! trope for me, mostly because I like to see the different formats / twists writers put on this. Is there a soulmate mark? What's different about a society where there are soulmates? Multiple soulmates?? Does the romantic couple try to resist the soulbond?? Are soulmates rare or very common? I think it can have a lot of wiggle room.

So here's two pynch soulmate fanfic recs with a little blurb of why i like them in particular!! (i don’t think either of these is like ... a DEEP CUT, but here they are in case you haven’t read them!)

i was always a runner by earthquaker

- very funny incredibly funny - a oneshot that knows what it’s about. earthquaker gets in, gives us a good show, and gets back out. I simultaneously love what we got and want more.

if love is just a game (then how come it's no fun) by shinealightonme

- a meet ugly (Ronan pisses Adam off the first time they meet) - Adam is Not Interested in Fate (delicious) - really strong friendship scenes between Blue & Adam, and Gansey & Ronan (my fav) - And they were roommates????

[here’s the ask meme if anyone is curious]

[creativefiend19]

14 & 42 for the weird asks? 💛💛

Hi Dory!! *waves happily*

14 - do you love the smell of earth after it rains?

Oh Gosh YES! I live through my senses, esp my sense of smell, and wet earth is one of the most evocative sensations ever.

I also like my bare feet to touch the ground when it rains, esp when it's warm rain, because there's something totally visceral about mud or sand or w/e under the soles of my feet - I feel grounded in a way that I can't explain.

42 - an app you frequently use besides this godforsaken site?

I cannot Tell you how much I hate social media - or my phone! I'm very Ronan in that way. I'm on FB v rarely, and I have LinkedIn to fool ppl into thinking I'm normal about technology (and just normal in general lol).

Only Pynch could've got me on Tumblr, and my super cool and interesting mutuals (like you!) kept me here. I'm not even joking a little.

ask me some weird asks

[navigatrixloves]

Ronan & Adam huddle for warmth?? 😍💛

I answered this one here but I have a LOT of thoughts about these bois so have a little more:

“Christ, Parrish.” Ronan interrupted Adam, his expression dropping to one of concern. He took one of Adam’s hands, his touch searing hot. It took Adam a second to realize that it wasn’t in the usual oh-god-Ronan-Lynch-is-touching-me way, but in an oh-shit-is-that-frostbite way.

-

Ronan slid in behind Adam, so that he was securely walled in by Ronan's chest and legs. It took Adam a while to completely relax- he loved this sort of intimacy, but it was a language he was still learning to speak and to understand. Luckily, Ronan was a surprisingly patient teacher.

Adam sighed, turning a little so he could rest his hearing ear on Ronan’s chest. This, too, felt dangerously vulnerable- but it was the kind of danger that only made him want to do it more.

[toast-the-unknowing]

soulmate au + fake dating + pynch 💛

...I don't know if I've ever seen this combo and I'm intrigued. Enchanted. I want someone else to write it so I can just experience every dip and turn of the rollercoaster in real time.

If I had to approach it myself, I think this is a situation where Adam needs a fake boyfriend for the usual fake dating reasons, except this is a soulmate universe, so he draws a fake mark on his wrist and has Ronan, his fake boyfriend, draw the same fake mark on his wrist, and it is only way down the line that they realize the whole time they've had matching fake marks they have also had real matching real marks elsewhere.
