If somehow we had the chance to view everyhing you've ever written about your characters, all of things you have planned for a single character. Who are the top three people we should pick? Hopefully that makes sense
like which characters' arcs would've gotten crazy?
that would have to be casper and coco, look at this behemoth doc i have of vague ideas & dialogue for them (mostly for coco) 😭
Tumblr media
the problem is that i was planning to write casper out of frozen pines when he went off to college, but i was sick of only writing teenagers & their parents, so i kept him around for a fresh perspective. i didn't expect myself to project so much onto him and i didn't plan on making coco into such a complex character that i would fall sooo in love with. so it all kind of ballooned into this massive plot that, even back when i had free time, i was never going to have time to write :( it sucks because i would LOVE to be able to tell their story, but i think it would've worked better as an entirely separate story to frozen pines.
third i suppose would be finn... i actually wrote this whole fake podcast transcript based around his murder, i've written countless oneshots that aren't finished enough for me to post them, and every single AU version of him lives in my mind like they're all their own characters. i love him so so bad... writing from his point of view feels so natural to me

Director's cut: a⭐ for a star!
Ahhh, hello, sweet Zae! <33
Sorry for taking yonks to get to this. I've been having writer's block and it seems to extend to talking about my writing, too!
Hmmm, I will choooooose.... Midnight Snacker!
This fic came to me through a stupid ass shitpost about how I headcanon Arthur as the guy that drinks the brine from the pickle jar when he's finished with it. Because Arthur, in my humble silly opinion, is DISGUSTING. And I LOVE IT.
It then snowballed into me thinking that he'd have an odd sleep schedule and that he'd love a good midnight snack.
Soooo, I started writing! I don't even remember how the specific plot that plays out came to mind. I think that I was trying to figure out what reasoning Reader would have for getting up, and the same with Arthur and why he'd want to get up for a snack. And tbh, in my head, Arthur never needs a reason for a snack. So, I thought, why not have Reader get up to pee as we all do, and have Arthur just be an idiot and decide it's time to stuff his cheeks with pickles and ham.
One of my favourite parts of the fic, outside of Arthur being sexy as fuuuck, is the snarky banter between him and Reader. I'm super big on realistic and witty dialogue and I always try my best to have my characterisation be the best it can be and I think I did really well with it in this fic. One of my favourite parts is:
As you near the kitchen, you hear the refrigerator door shut and the dopey humming of a satisfied man. "Y'know, we shouldn't bother with gettin' a dog." You say flatly as you round the corner, shoulders hiked up as the coolness of the night seeps into your skin. Arthur is sat on a stool, hunched over the kitchen island, the duvet wrapped snugly around his broad shoulders. The plastic and glass of packaged cheeses and meats and jars of pickled goods shine in the faint glow of the under-cabinet light. He looks up at you mid-chew, his blue eyes dark and slumberous. "Why's'at?" The words garble from his wet lips before he continues to lazily crunch on a pickle. "'Cause we've already got you to steal and eat everythin', ain't we?" He watches you round the island and lean against it as he tears a slice of cheese and slips it into his mouth alongside the pickle. He chews for a few moments before swallowing, his voice taking on a sassy lilt, "Well, you woke me up, didn'chu?" His smirk mirrors the snarky playfulness of his tone. The disapproving frown that drags your features southwards pulls a filthy, gargling laugh from Arthur's chest as he shovels a trio of olives into his mouth before sucking his fingers clean, loud and unabashed. You grimace, "Oh, so, you're blamin' me now?" Arthur gives a simple nod and a low "Mhm" to which you respond with a roll of your eyes. Despite your irritation, you grab a slice of cheese, roll it up and shove it into your mouth, glaring at him as you chew and swallow.
I just looove how sassy I made Arthur, I love his snarky attitude that surfaces at the perfect moment in the game and I always strive to bring that into my writing to the best of my ability :]
When I tell you that I giggled and felt the utmost cuteness aggression when writing about him being hunched over the counter, chomping away and wrapped in a duvet all mussed and dopey!!!!!!! I am such a sucker for domestic Arthur because he deserves it so much. And I find it interesting how his past/trauma and personality/habits/restlessness would translate into his general life and into his modern life if he was around now.
I'm quite fond of comparing our dear Arthur to a dog (I also do it in Good Mornin' Sunshine) as I just... Think he suits it? He's a darling, he's a dreamboat, he's a dog! To quote Betty Hutton. I always end up writing him quite guarded but heavily emotional at the same time and I think his snark is a massive part of how he processes and reacts to things both good and bad. That dog's got bite and also loves to play!
I tended to keep the language less floaty and figurative with this piece because I wanted the focus to really be on the domesticity and the casualness of the moment, the relationship, it's not this big intense discovery of love or anything. It's just two people who've loved one another for a long time who are married and live each day together, they're pretty settled and comfortable and even annoy one another like any relationship.
I hope this babbling was entertaining somehow!! Thank you so much for sending a star!!!! <33

The why do I need to use English to explain
Thoughts about the friend group, auby for now
I OVERTHINK OK
Sometimes I think about Aubrey, she is a tricky character to talk about , and in this friend group I don’t want to argue more about her. I’m going to sounds very petty, I don’t judge her much i just want to list out how I feel.
Summary, because auby took the album but the plot give it back doesn’t means its ok
The action of Aubrey taking basil photo album
Aubrey apologized to the friend’s group for her awful behavior towards basil, of not knowing the whole picture, so in her mind, she is in the wrong bullying Basil, however I hardly felt the sincere apology towards basil because we don’t have the time , besides the possibility of after hospital she might re apologies, for four years, and for the audience we know basil wrong Aubrey but not Aubrey(the feeling of Aubrey action is justified, and basil let it happen is due to what basil done to mari, from my view). But see it in another way, in her perspective, she even admitted she didn’t understand basil that time but now acknowledges it, it was brief, very brief that she probably if not hero an older person she actually respected and heard, she would just brush off the action of taking basil photos album . I know everyone is coping with their way, when kel came, her first defense was is the friend group abandoned her. What I’m saying is, the photo album she knows how important it’s for basil, and vaguely understands the idea she is being unfair to Basil, all those FOUR years she still has this attitude of I have the right to not give, not even hear SUnny wishes out for the return oc the photo album (who should in everyone knowledge suffer the most) she kept the picture for herself ,yes, but also not even let Sunny to see the album and throw them). The throwing always photo album don't felt that bad because KEl , sunny get it baCK.(I want to point out how bad it will be if there is no photo album How bad dose it felt ,if not for the plot let the audience forget about that.) even if I put it lightly if she only ignores Basil, and does not do any other bullying, she still views, mari, the photo album as hers. There is a lot of part of the writing meaning her actions but cut up with other stuff because, we can't make the plot too uneasy for the morning part, understandable, but please don't just forget it. But I know she is 16 and very realistic actually, that is how real people act, and I like her writing even though everyone says it’s not enough. I like her flaws and kindness, but also annoying when people view her as only a cool bossy girl, but everything is has a reason and it ok. She is not rational. It’s cool how she acts, yes, and I believe she might not be this mean but act tough due to the hooligans is around , just wanted ppl to know she is pretty shitty too, but everyone ignored this because they just wanted all of them to be kind and all that friendship is smooth, magic.
As a basil defender, I’m so salty of how everyone treats basil to be honest, sunny, basil even kel I nitpicking the hell of it please don’t take me serious
I don't hate her I just felt her character is warped due to mainstream keeping it healthy, and we cannot say any touchy stuff, everything needs to be forgiven or completely not when I finished the game I had so much emotion, and I understood a lot of things the game didn't say out loud and ppl will understand, but man I felt like soooo much stuff people isn't acknowledging it, they are just straightly forgetting it exists , everyone is good person , and keep on shitting on basil, maby sunny

Hiii!
I just finished reading your OT7 soulmate fic. Love the angst even if it is painful.
So, is it cruel of me to wish her to say she does not want them? I know Reader said that she loves them but I just can't see how you can forgive your soulmates after they rejected you. Myself, I don't think I would be able to.
Please don't think you are a bad writer. You are so good! I can't wait to read more If you continue it
OMG I'm so sorry I think I blipped out of this dimension for a while and I wasn't able to see this my bad T_T Thank you so much for liking my babie! And no, it is not cruel. It is human. Altho, while irl, it is easier sometimes to have the boys forgiven (or so they say because i'm a 'fuck forgiveness, i'll burn in hell' kinda pal), i also like to look at my works from all perspectives—or how it would be in the fictional and real world. Yes, it might seem realistic to have them unforgiven, we also have to consider human nature. Soulmates or not, many people tend to forgive no matter how painful the circumstances are. However, I would like to go on record to say that this is not me saying that that is the route my story, nor will it not be. Do I make sense? I'm sorry it's 8 AM where I am and I'm at my WFH job T_T
Anyway thank you so much for appreciating my works, and I'm just gathering up some braincells to write some more for this series
thank you, thank you thank you soooo much! 🥺🥺🥺

young just us but they’re camping and kon is a lame dork and tim is really close to ripping his hair out and cassie is a queen and greta is a bad bitch (bean) and cissie is a bean (bad bitch) [and bart is freezing but he’s eating all the snacks]
okay i LOVE this can i have more info please if you don't mind? :D
Hi! So i have no idea if by ‘info’ you mean actual details from the fic or a snippet BUT the rules are rules so i’ll give a snippet (to be fair the idea for the camping thing was like a scene for my konbart thing, yet as i shifted it into Konbart i realized that 1.5k of that was just... misc and out of konbart soooo i changed it (yet i kept the idea of the konbart, yet like retold it??? its weird but it worked SO NOW i have a free 1.5k words of an idea that i need to continue into -- which i think will develop into something nice and sweet but idk ill work on it (i also wanna add anita and slobo but like when they come in, the relationship of the team isn’t as solid (has nothing to do with them) so I'm debating with that and also the fact that i don’t know them as well yet i’d love to write them and aCK id have to rewrite the whole thing but)
ANYWAYS SNIPPET:
“Jurassic World isn’t even that good,” Tim’s voice from inside the guys’ tent. He walked out, had his own bag of chips in his hand, and a can of coke in the other. “The dinosaur in the batcave looks much more realistic.”
“See?” Cassie took off her wig and pulled the goggles up. “It’s not that good. Ocean’s Eight on the other hand…” 
“Is full of hot girls and they’re also badass,” Cissie finished. “They steal stuff and they’re also hot. Did I mention hot and badass? I’m sure you’ll love it.” 
Kon was defeated, he knew this. But he didn’t want to lose. How that would work would remain a mystery, but what could Kon say? He was a man of mystery.
Greta’s voice was heard from inside the girls’ tent. She was calling Cissie’s name. Cissie grabbed a handful of Popcorn, then she ran in the girl’s tent, jumping over the space of dirt in between. Shoes weren’t allowed in the sleeping bags nor tents. From inside the tent, Cissie yelled. “We’re watching Ocean’s Eight, Kon!” 
Almost instantly she called Tim in. It was his laptop they were using, anyways. 
Tim set down his can of coke. “But, yeah, Jurassic Neverland is a no.”
Kon yelled after him. “Your joke wasn’t even funny!” 
He yelled back. “I know!” 
Tim walked out of the tent, just a few seconds later. “So, um,” He raised the laptop. “This isn’t my laptop.” 
“It’s what now?”
Cissie and Greta ran out. Greta went straight for the sleeping bags, joined Cassie and the caramel popcorn. Cissie walked up to Tim and Kon. 
She whispered. “I’m 99% sure that’s Cassie’s laptop.” 
“So?” Kon didn’t see how that possibly changed anything. 
“Cassie’s laptop doesn’t have the bat-crap that Tim’s does.”
