if I said eisa davis' influence in making lmm actually write something rather radically progressive has subsequently inspired me to return to my roots of actually fucking thinking of making radically progressive musicals after a 3-year long hiatus in doing so, then what-

found out about handshake domains, got really excited about it, then learned that there's absolutely no transparency and they run on proof of work versus proof of stake (which isn't much better but at least the power consumption is lower there)

Nova & Thalia Headcanons

hello everyone and welcome back to a new episode of “Buttercup is a Yearning Sapphic with far too many thoughts about One (1) sapphic ship in a D&D Show and they’ve decided to make it everyone else’s problem!”, this time with Nova & Thalia from Aerois! (no cut bc i dont understand how tumblr works (sorry) and everything is being pasted straight from our dms bc i cba to rewrite or reformat this)

(special thanks to aestivalor from the HR discord for getting just absolutely spammed with all of my thoughts in DMs & the occasional very good additions)

a modern setting AU but it's specifically for the sake of like. nova and thalia lying next to each other on the roof of a car, and you have nova pointing out different stars in the night sky they see and like, thalia knows all of this already, but she loves her beloved nerd so she's content to just listen to nova ramble

ALTERNATIVELY, au where they're watching the stars together and you get the trope of "arent they just beautiful" (nova, abt the stars), "yeah," (thalia, lovingly, looking at Nova) [or vice versa, i could imagine either of them in either position]

now, please also consider, nova and thalia slow dancing together, again under the stars bc im gay and love the stars but frankly it could be anywhere bc i think the importance is mostly on the way they're look at each other, how close they are

but specifically, i like the concept of thalia, being a princess, knowing how to slow dance really well and nova not really knowing and being worried abt stepping on thalia's toes but maybe they're in the grass, maybe it's a late night and they were watching the stars and maybe it's just a peaceful summer day, regardless, thalia asks nova if she wants to dance and nova's willing to say less and they're just quietly slow dancing together, barefoot in the grass. there may not be music playing but that's okay bc their laughter is all they really need and thalia's softly guiding nova as they go and maybe nova steps on her toes occasionally but thats okay bc she's learning and eventually they're just dancing and twirling together to no music but the sound of their laughter and their soft contentment

 ALTERNATIVELY, bc i am a sapphic and its my biggest fuckin dream, au where nova and thalia are dancing together at a masquerade ball and they're both dressed to the nines and have the nicest fuckin masks and maybe they play up the fact that they're "not supposed to know each other's identities" and its a little bit for show but it's just fun and they're having fun and lbr they're both being gay as shit beneath those masks

it is personally very important to me when queer people do the little pinkie hook hand hold thing bc its just. its such a small and lowkey thing but like. it's so important to me. and i just like to imagine nova and thalia on their own in a moment and just kind of like. hooking pinkies. maybe they wanna hold hands but its too hot to do that comfortably or maybe they just wish to anchor themselves onto one another without it being too much contact and they're just hooking pinkies but it's also that thing of like. when someone strays too far to the side when your holding hands and you kinda pull them back on course or its like, lifting your hands over slight obstacles so you don't have to stop holding hands and stuff like that but with them and their linked pinkies

okay so i dunno if this all applies in canon so if it doesn't just imagine some slight canon divergent settings BUT

nova and thalia having the gay moments of tucking a flower into the other's hair/behind their ear 

the tenderness of brushing someone's hair away from their face for them 

sharing music. yes this probably only works in a modern AU BUT, please imagine nova or thalia offering the other an earbud as they're shading a phone from sunlight so they can watch a video/listen to music/smth along those lines 

i offer as well, the gay panic of before your dating someone but accidentally brushing your hands together and not knowing if you can hold their hand or not 

this one's extremely self indulgent and modern AU-y as well but like, the experience of like being in a cafe or out with someone during like the day and maybe it's golden hour, maybe it's just the sun setting, but it's the way the sun hits their eyes or maybe it's golden hour light and that mixed in with everything and the way they're smiling/laughing in that moment and you're just fucking gone bc in that moment they're brighter than the sun itself

Now this next one requires some more context. But, my lockscreen right now on my phone is franmaya (from ace attorney) fanart of Maya holding Franziska’s hand and pulling her along through a park very excitedly pointing at something. Now, please imagine this with Nova & Thalia

specifically, in an aquarium or some shit and nova's dragging thalia around and pointing at all the neat things

aestivalor: or like a natural history museum or science museum dragging her around to look at the cool rocks or meteorites or explain the exhibit to her instead of reading the info things,,,,,,,,,,,,

aestivalor: Thalia getting her own personal expert guided tour courtesy of Big Fucking Nerd

but also i think it would be really funny if there's this like, thing of thalia both trying to take in all the information bc thalia is a nerd too, lbr, but also bc it's where nova's from and it's important to nova so it's important to thalia VS the fact that thalia is. deeply gay and in love with nova and she keeps getting distracted by just how cute nova is when she's excited

aestivalor: YES omg the constant internal battle of “shes so cute when she’s all excited like this she’s so pretty and smart I love her so much wAIT LISTEN TO HER THEN DUMBASS SHES TALKING TO YOU”

(also in my heart of hearts, nova when she's excited talks a lot with her hands / she bounces and paces around and is very like hand flappy or generally has like these little happy stims and it's the cutest thing and thalia loves it sm)

other soft nova & thalia thoughts but not necessarily just ship thoughts include little things like

nova fiddles with the ends of her scarf when she's nervous (i suppose, now, it's aila's tartan bc i think she added it to the end of her scarf?), but i like the concept that if she ever ended up with smth from thalia that's like, a ring or a bracelet or a necklace, that that would also end up in the rotation as like. smth she messes with. like if it's like a pendant on a chain type necklace she'll move the pendant up and down the chain or if its a ring/bracelet it's just her twisting it where it is but i just like the idea of nova being nervous and using like, these things that were given to her by her family as a way to ground / calm herself

(I was then reminded that nova has a charm bracelet with thalia’s family crest on it so Imagine That for this specifically)

(also please imagine thalia doing the same with anything she'd be given from nova or her other loved ones)

nova and thalia being nervous/afraid and doing that thing where you squeeze your partner's hand in reassurance

SIMILARLY, nova &/or thalia listening to music while they're out an abt and maybe they're holding hands and maybe thalia's tapping along to the music on nova's hand and it's such a small thing and maybe thalia doesn't fully realize it but nova doesn't mind it and thinks its kinda charming so she lets it happen

ALSO. going back to the dancing thing real quick. personally bc im someone who loves street performers like so fuckin much, i like the concept of like, that being a thing on aerois right, and perhaps its the party's day off or smth and so you have nova and thalia walking around town or smth and they pause to listen to like. some performer who's playing violin or smth right, and consider, perhaps, thalia asking nova then and there if she could have that dance and the two of them dancing along to this random performer's music bc maybe it's silly but it's fun (bonus points if the song that’s being played is kingdom dance bc god those are the perfect vibes)

okay that’s all i’ve got for yall tonight, but tldr: nova & thalia my Beloveds!

Top 5 Cats the Musical moments AND Top 5 Cats the Musical Movie moments? 😂

oh bless you!!

tho i have to say i’m not nearly as familiar with cats as a stage musical as i am the movie. i’ve seen bits and pieces of the 98 version (i’ve seen misto’s, skimble’s and griz’s songs fully. and parts of the other songs, enough to know what they sound like. and like i watched somebody else watch the 98 version, which gave me the Gist but it’s not the same, obviously). meanwhile i’ve seen the 2019 version 3 times (been on painkillers every single time! not on purpose just amazing timing) AND i’ve watched all of the scenes over and over and analysed it to bits..... so mayhaps i’m a tad underqualified here

so i can give a top 5 for 2019 cats but i don’t feel secure in doing the same for the 98 version. BUT i will say this: all of misto’s song is amazing and “presto” hits harder than any drug. misto’s presto is deservedly iconic

okie this is gonna be hard for me. 98 the problem is i don’t have enough cuz i haven’t seen it properly. 2019 the problem is theres just too many

also i’d like to preface this by saying im at a point where i genuinely adore this movie (aware of the problems, certainly) and i can’t regard it as a bad movie anymore. last time i watched it, i was having the time of my fucking life

so the first half is misto’s song is cute and awkward (and its meant to be, i will defend this song, damn it. tho laurie cannot hold a note, aw honey...) but the second half? when the triumph kicks in? that is golden! golden i tells you! during which i am experiencing genuine euphoria. it’s all good, the whole song is good for me and i love misto so much. but like a moment during this that REALLY gets me tho is when old deut has come back and it cuts to misto looking so overjoyed and the music kicks the fuck in into triumph mode and that is the bit that makes me cry. like a laugh cry. it’s so good, so good. that shit is PEAK

i can’t pick a favourite part of skimbleshank’s song and nobody should. the entire thing is great and it pretty much plays continiously in my head. i dunno if 5 minutes counts as A Moment but fuck it all. he’s a cat that. cannot. be. ignored

griz’s song, memory, is of course amazing. i don’t even need to say that. but also like her “TOUCH ME” is so powerful it’s like all of my organs were being pulled towards the screen at once. thats the best way i can describe it. fuck me that hits like a motherfucker

okay i’ve made it abundantly clear that my love of robbie fairchild’s performance in this has evolved into uh, worshipful. love me a theatre bitch. chaotically sincere and sincerely chaotic. but i can’t just say “every moment with munkustrap” because thats so much of the movie! king!!! this movie rests upon this lovely stripy shoulders! and picking like BEST? for him?? impossible. but i will mention two scenes: the passionate and loving performance given during “old dueteromony”. the singing is beautiful and the aaaacting is lush. that bit when munku nuzzles old deut is A++++. mwah. and the other scene being his background acting during the ad-dressing of cats. the one where he’s emoting so fucking much in the background. and he’s doing that the whole movie actually but its more obvious there. i’ve been to that scene a lot and lemme tell you whatever frame you get of munku in that scene is fucking gold. special mention goes to what he does when old duet mentions the caviar. also i cannot stress enough that robbie does not blink!!! he’s a mad lad!!!!

i love all of jellicle songs for jellicle cats, great song, proper bop. and i dunno if this is my fave part but i think it deserves to be on here, i like when we get to the slow verse where its all like religious and stuff, they’re reaching up towards the everlasting cat as they sing and i think its beautiful. then these lyrics happen (and munku is guiding victoria thru these lyrics, which is nice) “feline, fearless, faithful to others that do...” and the macavity says “what”. and then suddenly the song goes back to really fast paced again. i dunno, i just love the way that part hits. i dunno if it should go in the top five, there are other moments i love more, a lot of them didn’t feel Big Enough. so they’re going in honorable mentions

i wanna give honorable mentions to

misto’s “romantical cats!” with his heart paws

“how will they be chosen?” “by singing the song of themselves, of course” i love that line because it perfectly expresses that this movie will express it’s concept entirely sincerely without a hint of irony. and i like that

every time misto and victoria nuzzle. oh and that heavy breathing held gaze tension moment they have after the bit with the dog [bleps]

misto and munku dosed on catnip cuz i’m a horny fuck, okay

munku and victoria’s lovely dance followed by misto suddenly yelling his own name and juggling. yeah that about sums it up

“macavityyyyyy [whoosh]”

the little chin hold munku gives misto. i’ve seen robbie do that in other things and it’s always towards a love interest. interesting

the jellicle ball. in general. but especially misto and victoria dancing together and munku and skimble dancing together. and all is right with the world

i really like beautiful ghosts (musically and character wise. the scene itself isn’t very interesting to look at but oh well) and i especially like “all that i wanted, was to be wanted”. like for me that informs a lot of victoria’s character. that stuck with me, i like it

munku’s tear during memory

“you... are the jellicle choice” and griz’s reaction. felt that

“up, up, up to the heavyside layer!” (with the bonus that misto is lighting the candles in time with the music, and thats satisfying as heck)

jennyanydots’ eye rolly joke during tugger’s song is worth it because of munkustrap’s reaction to it. his “oh you’re so bad!” laugh followed by looks that say “oh no, i shouldn’t laugh at that, i’m supposed to be sensible. hehe”. you can tell they’re good friends, it’s endearing

SKIMBLE AGGRESSIVELY TAP DANCING TOWARDS GROWLTIGER

i can’t pick a specific part of mungo and rumple’s song but i love victoria going into silly mode, and also just mungo and rumple’s Vibes, ya know. extra special mention to victoria and rumple’s obvious chemistry

fuck it, any time misto is a klutzy endearing (not so) little baby. OH WAIT i wanna point out how fucking proud of himself he is when he sings about his family repeatedly calling him in. that is the epitome of a cat, amazing

there’s more, there’s always more, but that’s currently... enough

i’m very into this movie, can you tell. like i’ll dunk on it, but i love it

it’s my special interest and i’m here to have a good time, babey

Meta-Interview 3: Amazing. Never-Before-Seen.

Sophia sits back in the INTERVIEWER seat, still looking very out of place. On the other side, Wayneppoid is far more relaxed in his posture. A sun conure perches on top of his head, a few strands of hair captured in its beak. He seems unbothered by this. Sophia’s gaze drifts to the bird for a moment, before returning to the camera. 

Sophia: “Jazz is biting your hair, I believe-”

She is cut off by the bird, Jazz, squawking, which makes her jump back. Wayne reaches up and pets Jazz with one finger.

Wayne: “Jazz! No sexism.”

The bird squawks again, a little quieter, and hops onto Wayne’s shoulder, before crawling into his shirt. Wayne looks down, baby-talking to his bird.

Wayne: “You gonna let us do the interview, buddy?”

Jazz peeps, muffled by the fabric, and Wayne looks back to Sophia.

Wayne: “Alright, should be good now.”

Sophia: “Was there even a point to starting the recording on a timer if we’re going to be interrupted anyway?”

Wayne: “They got Jazz cam, it’s fine.”

Sophia: “Right, I suppose so.”

Sophia reaches for her clipboard again, flipping the pages back to the first.

Sophia: “I didn’t ask Sonic to introduce himself in his interview, but that was primarily because, well, as you’re aware, the audience is probably already well aware of who he is. Not that I mean any offense, but I don’t think you are quite as ubiquitous as him.”

Wayne: “None taken, it’s fucking Sonic. Wayneradiotv may be kinda popular but we aren’t doing Iron Man numbers.”

Sophia: “So… Who are you, then?”

Wayne clears his throat, and his voice shifts, sounding similar but… synthesized, rather than natural.

Wayne: “Have you heard of Hatsune Miku?”

Sophia: “I’m… not very familiar.”

Wayne: “It’s a reference, Sophia.”

Sophia: “Ah, my apologies.”

Wayne: “Don’t worry about it. Anyway, Miku’s a bunch of voice samples, and people use those to make songs without having to sing it themselves. So, I’m like that. But free!”

He coughs again, and his voice returns to normal.

Sophia: “But, that’s not all, yes?”

Wayne: “Well, yeah. I’m like, if Miku was the voice of a Twitch dude.”

Sophia: “Wayneradiotv?”

Wayne: “Yup. If any of you guys have seen the Half Life VR Funny, or that “THERE IS NO FRIDGE” bit? That’s him. He’s got a whole group of friends he streams with, as well, and they all do cool shit on the regular too. I’m basically him but digital, and also Miku.”

Sophia glances down at her clipboard, and looks back up, eyebrow raised.

Sophia: “I suppose you aren’t digital now, are you?”

Wayne: “Guess not. What am I now, a robot or something?” Sophia: “I don’t think it ought to matter too much. Though, isn’t Jazz the physical Wayne’s bird?”

Wayne: “Yeah. I guess he’s a clone? He hates women as much as the original, though.”

He reaches into his shirt to pet Jazz as he speaks. The bird chirps in response.

Sophia: “Right. So, I presume your, or rather his, experience with streaming is what you believe would make you a good interviewer?”

Wayne: “Yeah. I mean, Char’s a dick and Random…”

Sophia: “Is Random, yes.”

Wayne: “And like, no offense to Scratch, he’s a cool dude, but I dunno if he’d be able to handle being the face of something like this.”

Sophia: “Scratch is a DJ, he would be used to crowds.”

Wayne: “Yeah, but there’s a lot less talking going on there. And, uh, I don’t see him around the others much. Does he talk to the contestants?”

Sophia frowns, her gaze flicking to the camera.

Sophia: “I don’t think discussing a friend’s personal business is really fitting behaviour f-for an interviewer.”

Wayne: “Shit, sorry. I’m just kinda worried about him-”

Sophia: “W-We can talk about that afterward.”

Wayne: “Right. Okay. Anyway. Yeah, I mean I’m not actually Wayne or anything like that, but I’m basically him in personality and stuff, so I can… talk good. Some of the actual contestants are, uh, weird dudes, you don’t really want the interviewer to also be out of their goddamn mind, y’know?”

Sophia: “That’s true. I’m familiar with the concept of the ‘straight man’. Judging by your base’s most popular work, I’d say you’d fit that role well.”

Wayne: “Y’know people bitch about Gordon cuz they DON’T get what a straight man is?”

Sophia: “And yet I’m sure they’d complain twice as hard if it was just utter chaos.”

Wayne: “Yeah, exactly!”

Sophia nods, her gaze returning to her papers. Jazz wriggles in Wayne’s shirt in response to him getting louder.

Sophia: “Besides in terms of their potential as interviewers, what do you think of the other bonuses?... Hm. Obviously, besides anything unsuitable for broadcast, as well.”

Wayne: “You make it sound like I’m gonna start talking shit.”

Sophia: “S-Sorry, that’s… you know what I mean, though.”

Wayne: “I guess? Scratch is a cool dude, he’s recommended some absolute bangers. Wish I could get ‘em over to the real Wayne so he could add them to the stream playlist. Shame about his game.”

Sophia doesn’t respond. After a moment, she shakes her head as if remembering something and raises her eyebrow.

Sophia: “Hm?”

Wayne: “Yeah, you’re being weird about it again. I’ll move on, I guess. Sonic… I mean, he’s Sonic the fucking Hedgehog. We both know Miku, so we actually had shit to talk about when we met up for the first time. It’s still surreal to be friends with him, though. I should ask him when they’re bringing Monkey Ball back.”

Sophia: “Char?”

Wayne: “I dunno much about Gundam. That ‘I’ll kill you’ scene from Gundam Wing’s funny, but I don’t know what, like, a Zeon is. And the dude’s just an asshole so I doooooon’t really wanna ask him about it.

Long Furby’s kinda scary to look at, but she’s alright. She kinda reminds me of Holly, I think they’d get along. They’ve got the same powerful chaotic energy. 

Random’s… I mean, it sure says shit. It’s a big question mark, what else am I gonna say about it?”

Wayne shrugs. 

Wayne: “I’m pretty sure it started playing an ad for, like, gamer drugs at me once? The fuck’s up with that?”

Sophia: “It did?” Wayne: “It’s never done that to you?” Sophia: “Honestly, I had assumed it just pulled from the same pool of sounds no matter who was around. If it’s at all aware of who it’s ‘talking’ to...”

Wayne: “That’d mean it’s fucking ALIVE!”

Sophia: “Let’s hope not, then. Because if it is, then that makes its behaviour infinitely more irritating.

A-Anyway, do you have any thoughts on the contestants? It sounds like you’ve gotten to know some of them already.”

Wayne grins.

Wayne: “So, obviously went to go talk to the Spies first. The comic dudes liked Jazz, but the Spy didn’t really want to talk to me at first. But, I mean, I’m sort of a Valve rep, so eventually we wound up getting along. Won’t tell me when Half Life 3’s coming out, though.

That arcade cabinet fucking haaaaates me. I’ve told him I’m not even the actual streamer here, but he tells me I’m still made on a computer and that’s even worse. Says VR’s stealing his gimmick, says I’m promoting the things that killed his medium, says I should stop playing Neil’s music on stream… Dude, Wayne just plays it when someone donates for it. Also, isn’t he literally a Neil song?”

Sophia: “It’s complicated, I believe.”

Wayne: “I guess it has to fucking be.

Uhhh, don’t know Dorime too much, except one time everyone else in the cafeteria started making fun of us for being the only straight people.”

Sophia: “Wha-I’m sorry that happened, I should’ve interv-”

Wayne: “Nah, it’s fine. It was all jokes, aside from Cabinet Man I think. Pix had to punch him in the screen to get him to fuck off.

Oh, speaking of Pix, her and Bit are cool. When their game comes out, I’ll… do something to get Wayne to stream it. Not really sure what, but I’ll figure it out. Wish Jazz didn’t hate women so much, cuz they’ve both asked to pet him so much, and I don’t want them to get bitten.

Baba is a good boy. Another creature here I WISH I could show to Holly, oh my God. He’s softer than I was expecting. Like a pillow.”

Wayne is tearing up just thinking about Baba.

Sophia: “Baba is one of the nicest creatures I’ve ever encountered, to tell you the truth.”

Wayne: “Yeah, same.

Pony is… I mean. It’s a horse, right? Terrifying.” Sophia: “Terrifying?” Wayne: “Yeah! Horses are fucking scary, dude. And this guy’s all glitchy and stuff as well, so it’s even worse.”

Sophia: “I… see. Now, I think we should start wrapping this interview up, so, do you have any final statements to make to the audience?”

Wayne thinks for a moment, and opens his mouth to speak, but Jazz interrupts, peeping up a storm. The bird flies out of his shirt, landing on his head, and then takes off again. Both Wayne and Sophia shout in surprise, as Jazz turns and heads right for the tripod.

Wayne: “Jazz, no!-”

The bird knocks the camera from it’s stand, and the feed cuts out. 

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #152

“if mary was only 14 when she had jesus, what does that make god?”

What’s something you initially disliked, but ended up liking? Uhhh... I'm drawing a blank right now. If you’re interested in having a long term relationship with someone, do you think that waiting a certain amount of time before you first have sex is a good idea? Or does it not matter?  I think it's a smart idea.  To me personally, sex should be an intimate experience with someone you love, not with someone you don't know deeply. Have you ever discovered something big by looking through someone’s phone, Facebook, email, etc.? No, never snooped on someone. Do you have any financial regrets? Either way, what’s an example of a GOOD financial decision you’ve made?  No, I've never really had to make big money decisions. Do you think it’s a good idea for kids’ sports teams to not keep score, or do you think that’s going overboard in trying to show sensitivity? I think you shouldn't keep score.  Teach children how to have fun for the sake of fun, not winning. Name a movie that you dislike but everyone else seems to love. Why do you dislike it? Drawing a blank again. *shrugs* Are you good at compromising or are you more of a “my way or the highway” kind of person?  I'm pretty nice at compromising, but of course it's going to depend on the case sometimes. Do you know any couples who sleep in separate beds? Do you think that if a couple makes that decision, they will eventually break up/divorce?  Yes, because one of them snores loudly.  But that doesn't mean they're gonna break up... Have you ever had a horrible boss or teacher? Did you ever confront them about it?  No, thankfully. Does it usually take awhile for you to completely come to terms with your emotions after something big happens or do you let it all out right away?  It's kinda both.  But mostly the former; I deeper understand what I'm feeling then. Is Thanksgiving an important holiday to you? Who did you spend last Thanksgiving with?  Honestly no, not really.  I should appreciate it more than I do for the sake of its concept. How far into your current (or last) relationship did you start thinking about your future with that person? Probably too early to be considered normal lmao. Are you a believer in “signs” from the universe about things in your life? If you are, can you think of a particular example? No. Name some things that one or both of your parents are really good at or really interested in.  Mom is suuuper into surgeries/seeing how the body works, and Dad's good at building shit I guess lmao. If someone told you that you would never achieve something and you ended up doing it, would you have any interest in finding that person and showing them?  Tbh yeah lol.  I do NOT take people underestimating my abilities kindly.  That's one reason the breakup was so bad. What is the most jealousy-induced thing you’ve ever done? Ehhhmmm.  I don't think I've done something in hopes of making someone jealous. Ever been kissed under fireworks?  No, but #goals. Which of your friends lives closest to you?  Colleen.  AKA, the only friend whose location I know. Do you like calling or texting better?  Don't call me, like ever lol. When was the last time you were extremely disappointed?  When I learned Mom and I couldn't go to the P!atD concert.  It's been a week or two and I'm still bummed. Do you think its right for straight guys to get their tongue pierced?  ....... Does any human being on Earth believe it's wrong?????? Do you talk dirty to people?  HUNNY I couldn't even talk dirty in the middle of my ex and I doing shit lmao. Honestly, who was the last person to tell you that they love you?  Dad; we talked on the phone a bit. The last thing you heard?  I'm listening to "Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend" by Powerwolf on repeat asjfdakjwi I'm addicted. Have you ever been to an animal shelter?  Yeah. Does it rain a lot where you live?  I wouldn't necessarily say a lot?  Afternoon thunderstorms are just about daily in the peak of summer, though. Do you live in the suburbs?  No. If you have a dog, does it bark a lot?  Ugh, both of them.  Slightest noise outside our house or in our driveway, it's over. What are your 3 top favorite movies?  The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and then probably The Lion King II. Can you juggle?  No. Who was your favorite Disney princess as a child?  Ariel. Who are your style icons?  Like every serious goth in the world give me money to afford this style. Do you believe in an afterlife?  I really do.  Will it be wonderful, bad, lonely, peaceful, reunited with our loved ones, who knows, but I believe in something good. What do you fear most about death?  The possibility there is no afterlife.  I obviously wouldn't exist anymore so wouldn't experience anything, but.  I never want my essence to vanish. What is your favorite country?  Dunno. Glitter or feathers?  I'm a glitter bitch. Have you ever self harmed?  Yeah. What is your favorite type of cake?  Red velvet. Who was your favorite author as a child?  Erin Hunter. Do you ever have days where you just don’t do anything?  Um, everyday???? Have you ever been extremely tired but refused to go to sleep?  Yes, if it's too late to nap but too early to sleep.  And this one time I had a paranormal experience and I was terrified to. What’s the longest amount of time you’ve been stuck in traffic?  Maybe around an hour during a roadtrip? Best field trip experience?  5th grade zoo trip with Dad, my then-best friend, and her mother. What is the most amount of money you’ve spent on a meal before?  Nothing impressive. What is the worst thunderstorm you’ve experienced?  We've had plenty, who knows. Have you ever had problems falling asleep in class?  I've never gone to sleep in class. Have you ever been on the barrier or front row at a concert?  No. Are your parents supportive of you?  Yes, Mom especially. Has your mom ever directly told you that she favored your other sibling(s) over you?  No. Do your folks still have sex? Does it disgust you?  They're divorced so y'know. Do you like dried fruit (e.g. bananas, mangos, plums, etc.)?  NO. Can you stand eating the crusts of a slice of sandwich bread?  Yes, but it's my least favorite, so I eat it first to get it out of the way. Do you sleep with your window open at night?  Hell naw I don't want no Welcome to the Game shit. Do you do your homework at home or in class? Or how about in class the day it’s due?  I liked to start it in class if I could, but did the rest at home. When did you last see your parents?  I saw Dad a few days back at Ryder's b-day party, and I saw Mom this morning. Does it bother you when people get too obsessed about stupid stuff?  I feel like you're coming for me. What is the one fast food restaurant you have NEVER been to?  Denny's. Have you ever gotten to see the movie Twilight? Not the whole thing.  Nicole got it for Christmas and played it that day, and I stayed out in the living room with the family 'cuz yeah, Christmas.

I want to write a fic like you! I think you're amazing! What's your secret?

DON’T WRITE FIVE FICS AT ONCE LMAO. DON’T EVEN WRITE THREE OR TWO. JUST ONE. Just stick to one and don’t say ‘oh but I could juggle those two!!!’ because then it turns into ‘oh I could do a third it’ll only be a short one!!!’ and buddy ur gone ur GONEEEEEEEEE.

Okay but seriously ahaha. Thank you!!!! I still can’t believe I’ve been writing ygo fic for like two and a half years now when I thought I’d just write like one fic because my friend and I were having fun with the idea lmao. So wild ahaha. 

But secret eh? Hmmm,,,,,,, Well, for some pointers, I’d say:

Make sure your idea/concept is one YOU are going to enjoy writing. Like it is SO NICE to get lovely comments and ppl supporting your work and showing an interest for sure, but think about it this way; you will be spending hours writing this piece, staring at ur screen and thinking through character interactions and action scenes and the like, and that is HOURS. You will spend so much time dude, so do yourself a favour and make sure what you wanna write is an idea you wanna explore.

Put stuff in your fic you like!!!!!!! And stuff you like to write!!!! If you like shitty masquerade balls then put one in! Find a way, or find something else to add u like just as much if the setting doesn’t work!! Like sword fights? BAM ur plot can now allow swords and suddenly everyone carries swords around, why do they carry swords??? There is ur world building ticket B)

Also, you’ll have to do research on stuff to get at least semi accurate with things so they’re believable. So like, make sure that wont be long and boring for u too. This ties into the whole ‘putting stuff in u like’. For example, a fic im working on has a lot of archery in it because I love archery and I wanted Yugi to be a badass archer. So I gotta look up a shit ton of stuff on archery, but its cool cause I like learning about that stuff!! Some things are boring to look up like a sixteen part video on how to play backgammon but you’ll have to do it anyway because thats what ur plot needs, so be prepared for that too. 

Just. Write what you like dude. Write what u find fun, and concepts you wanna explore. I like dragons so I wrote a fic where Atem was a dragon! I like vampires and Yugi being a snarky little shit so I wrote/ am writing a fic about Yugi being a snarky little vampire! I like putting Yugi in military uniforms with jackets cause they look cool so I made an AU where Yugi was a general in an army and got cool clothes and was also sarcastic AF. It’s the small things dude, put a bunch of small things u like, write a list, what kind of themes and ideas and locations u like and then see what kind of plot can form from them. 

Those are really general but yeah!!!! ALSO PLOT AHEAD. Some people can work their magic without needing to but personally my best friend is my Notes document, where I keep all the little details about characters, possible snippets of conversations that come to my head but I dunno where to put them at the time, AND an overview of my plot in a chapter by chapter format. That’s how I work, and I’ve been doing that since my first fic and it always treats me well :’’’D I never want to forget any little snippets I may be thinking of, so having a place to put them is good, and u can come back and revise a lot and change it as ur fic grows. PLANING IS IMPORTANT UNLESS UR A WIZARD THEN ITS COOL I GUESS. And that’s that! Hope that helps a little, the best thing to do is get started and see how you go!!! Start small, I wrote a heck ton of tiny little one shots before I even attempted a multichapter fic. They’re long and a huge commitment, but it’s great to see a piece of work come together at the end :’’’D
