Thanks! (I know I'm a little late for this...)
Favourite color: Dark shades of red and blue (let's go with that, really depends on what mood I'm in)
Last song: Come to sin by Bananafishbones
Last movie: Technically "the Wailing". Does it count if I was dozing off from time to time? Production is great, and inspite of it being a serious horror movie, i found myself laughing at certain scenes. For example when the cop was about to go investigate a murder, his mother in law refused to let him go in real Korean/Eastern fashion and said that he has time for breakfast because those guys are dead and aren't going anywhere lol. I guess it's funny to me because we act the same way where I'm from.
Other stuff I watched this year: Just of the top of my head The last voyage of Demeter and Copying Beethoven, and i loved both, especially the latter. The movie is so masterfully done and the music is just 🤌 I have a soft spot for eccentric geniuses so Copying Beethoven really tricked off all the boxes for me. Definitely recommend it.
Shows i dropped this year/didn't finish: Severance. Don't get me wrong, the show is good and I might finish it, but at the moment of watching i was in a low mood and the heavy atmosphere of the show pulled on my nerves.
Currently reading: jjk manga although I haven't caught up to the newest chapters yet. I've also been binge reading everything on Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (The Apothecary Diaries) i can find on the internet
Currently listening to: Swamp Thing by the Chameleons
Currently working on: ...nothing (college is sucking life out of me) and I'm deeply ashamed of it because I bought art supplies plus there are drafts of WIPs and story ideas glaring at me whenever I turn on my laptop. Someone at least pressure me into drawing something (serious drawing, not random sketches) before I rot from the mundane-ness and numbing repetitivness of every day life. Make a request for a certain character, idc at this point
Current obsession: Hakuouki. I'm (im)patiently waiting for Harada's route to be translated in english so I can watch it on YouTube.
Tagging if you want (I haven't been online in awhile so idk who has done this, forgive me for the spam): @lovenonymously @hxhhasmysoul @galaxynajma

Ohndjxbd those are a lot of choices- do you have a favourite among them?
OH ABSOLUTELY!!! (I did say i have more than 10)
It's not a favourite they are favouriteS, and one of them is a very sad encanto love fic that i really wanna finish but ya know priorities to the multi-chapter fics i started posting so
anyway it's basically about a depressed oc whom at this point i dont remember the name of asking bruno to show her when she dies and when bruno shows her shes surprised she died at old age and didnt commit suicide. bruno, being himself decided to check up on her to make sure shes ok and falls in love yada yada im honestly not sure whether it still exists on my pc or not but it is a fave
another favourite is a bnha were i thought "Hey, wont it be funny if all the 1-A class were traitors to AFO but they didnt know the others were also traitors?" and that's basically the fic. all except for mineta and shinso. shinso thinks they are joking. Aizawa is also a traitor but thats like a part two if i finished part one
another bnha one is were izuku dies and comes back as a ghost but he doesnt knows hes dead he thinks its his quirk which actually maybe it is?? im not really sure myself but anyway upon descovering said quirk(??) he decides to haunt bakugo
another fun one is if both bakugo and izuku have a restrainig order on each other. i just thought "wouldnt it be funny if they legally cannot be around each other" and im still cackling
and now my newest fixation which is a multi-chapter fic is called "hook, line and sinker" it's also a bnha fic and its about my OC Louis being isekaid into bnha world and deciding "Ya know wat? this place is fucked up. im fixing that" and currently he's doing just that. the tone for this fic is different from how i summarised it here like they have very different vibes but anyways
other than ideas ive yet to start these are my favourite WIPS!!

hi !!
17 , 18, 23 for the ask game please !!
also i hope you are having a great day and that the headache will go away soon :(( !! xx
This ask game
Hiii yeah this headache is really fucking killing me. I have so much work to do today so I’m hoping if I play this ask game it’ll help me adjust cuz it came on rlly suddenly.
17. Who got me into writing?
When I was 15 I took a poetry workshop with a woman named Sabrina Benham (she’s a published poet so I am using her name) teaching, and she really provided a safe space for everyone there. She’s truly one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met, and she inadvertently saved my life. She’s the only person I’ve ever met who gave me complete utter freedom to express with no criticism, or reminders that writing is about improvement. She always told us to let our wilds grow.
18. Babble about whatever you want
Hmmm well,
I think I’m just really admiring how much I’ve grown as a person in the past year. I think I’m a lot more open minded and not so quick to react to things I don’t like, and this tolerance took me a lot of effort to grow and I’m just really proud of myself for it!
Also, like, im picking my life back up after a huge disruption in 2020 (not just the pandemic but other things too) and like, it’s been such a hard fight to get here. I really owe it to myself to be proud of how hard I’ve worked to get to this moment.
23. Newest wip idea!
Okay so I’m currently really obsessed with my seer au because it’s just such a cozy place to be. Like it’s kinda like if perks of being a wallflower was a magic au, and the themes aren’t quite as heavy but they are definitely there. It’s very cozy fantasy too in my opinion. I just love everything I have planned for it.

Hi!
You said you're after a curious anon, so, since I'm new to your blog, I want to ask if you have any OCs! Any you're particularly proud of... Ones that never get talked about, maybe?
- 🐢
Oh I have so many ocs….. so, so many. Anon you don’t even know. It’s a problem, im a hoarding gremlin for my OCs. I’ll just write bios for the main OCs of my current WIPs:
Rook series:
Rook, a soft and sweet boi indentured to an assasin’s guild and forced to harden himself and learn to kill. He falls very easily for pretty men which is his downfall (especially in the Rook and Lyran AU, where he is seduced and kidnapped by a fae with less than honorable intentions towards him.)
Cassius, an instructor at the guild. Rook unfortunately catches his eye and Cass decides to take him as a captive and to hurt him for fun and stress relief. He’s a very intimate whumper and loves making a defiant or terrified whumpee comply to his every whim.
Jace, a close friend of Cassius who’s even creepier than Cass. They‘re a more brutal whumper and don’t care as much about making their whumpee obey them.
Left Behind series (on hiatus because I lost a lot of it forever when I accidentally deleted my old blog):
Zhen Veraldi, a drafted soldier fighting for a cause they don’t believe in. They’re left on the battlefield and they’re captured by the enemy when they try to flee.
Major Sierra Castro, working for the Rakantian army (enemy side to Zhen’s). She takes a liking to Zhen and enjoys humiliating and hurting them with the intention of forcefully recruiting them. After shooting their leg with a poisoned bullet that does permanent damage and leaves Zhen walking with a cane, she succeeds in this.
Alec and Raina series (newest and most frequently updated wip):
Alec, a soft boy artist and a masochist who’s kidnapped off the street one day and his life takes an immediate turn for the worse. A compliant but resentful whumpee who mostly complies with Raina’s orders because he’s terrified.
Raina, a rich girlboss whumper who enjoys making pretty boys suffer. After her previous captive escaped, she kidnapped Alec and plans to mold him into exactly what she wants- ”fixing” everything from his hair to his fashion to his posture. A very intimate, possessive, and controlling whumper.

🏅 and 🖊!
🏅 - What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).
im not sure if im proud or in shock that i knocked out six fics for my newest fandom last month. i realized that and went "wow. im gonna make an effort to do nothing for a while" which lasted a whole week before i wrote another. gotta love how hard the hyperfixations hit!
🖊 - Post a snippet from a current WIP.
(malleus x idia, twisted wonderland)
Idia blinked at the computer screen on his desk when a notification popped up saying that a customer was about to walk in. He knew it. Peace was an illusion. Idia leaned to the side just enough to look past the monitor and watch as not just one, but two people entered the shop. Terrific.
One was so tall that he had to duck as to not hit the doorframe with the impressive set of horns atop his head. There was something almost regal about how he carried himself. If Idia had to guess, he’d bet that guy didn’t talk too much. The other seemed to be his opposite. A tiny thing with pink highlights in his dark hair and a wild look in his eyes, looking around and trying to absorb everything he possibly could as fast as he possibly could. Obviously the extrovert. Oh, boy. Idia did not look forward to this interaction at all.

15, 29, 37? Love your writing!!
Hi anon!! Thank you!!
15. Which of my works would I want filmed - hmm. Probably the 80’s au! The aesthetics would be so fun, and the music...I feel like it would be fun! I wish I had art skills so I could have done some drawings of their outfits and shit, because honestly that’s 80% of why I wrote it haha.
29. Sequel or prequel to any fic I didn’t write - oof. Tough. I have some friends who have written some amazing things, and part of me would never even attempt to follow up something someone else wrote, but...agh! I don’t know haha. @e-lec-tric-in-di-go has this wilds celeb au that isn’t finished but I could see having fun writing something to accompany it just for shits!
37. Current wips!
TLOU - all Dina x Ellie
where the brave may live forever - on a bit of a hiatus but it’s always running through my head. TLOU Viking au im having so much fun with. I planned for three chapters and instead now am at 6 and counting 🤷🏻‍♀️
mercy, take your time - this has been on a break for a while but the last week or so I’ve been thinking about it. TLOU Western AU - or YEEHAU. I wrote it as an exercise in non-linear story telling, and in using small vignette-like scenes to tell a story. I really love it, it holds a dear place in my heart.
calmly at the crossroads (no desire to run) - a sequel to my TLOU 80’s au! For real this should be three parts only, but we’ll see. I’m writing it slowly just whenever I feel like it, because I missed the 80’s and wanted a valid excuse to listen to 80’s tunes over and over again.
The Wilds - all Shelby x Toni
if there’s a god in heaven (you can show me) - basically done, just writing an epilogue to this wilds college/intramural basketball au. Sad it’s almost over but it was super fun to write!
(i saw the crescent) you saw the whole of the moon - my newest and biggest project at the moment! A Mars AU! Loosely based on the Martian (in that it’s on Mars and that’s where the majority of my ‘science’ is coming from). I’m trying some new narrative things, and it’s always a challenge when you’re trying to write a story that, yes, focuses on two characters, but also gives everyone else their time and development. Plus I don’t know shit about space so...it’s been fun to try and learn!
Whew omg that was long-winded. Thanks anon! Hope you have a lovely day!

Hey hi your murder mystery art is super totally cool and amazing and I'd like to Extra! Extra! hear all about it *rattles bells*
haha wow i cant believe ud ask me THIS! unbelievable! now im gonna have to make a long post!
Tumblr media
all info under the cut cause im kind like that ♥
For reasons I felt like making a Fancy Ass murder mystery story, with you know, hella complex secret storylines and everyone having drama and shit, and one person died but the more the story goes the less people care about who did the murder and the more they want tHE JUICY DETAILs. X and Y had an afFAIR you say!!! well that’s thousands time more interesting than that murder that happened, who cares about the culprit its not like any of us are going anywhere anyway! tell me more about the marital issues!
The ultimate Vibes are Clue (the game, ya kno, it had a movie too, and that movie was shot with three different endings -fun fact- so that movie theatres could play one alternatively that way people wouldnt get spoiled or even if they did they would not get the ending they were spoiled or even if all three were spoiled you couldnt know which ending you were getting anyway, big dick move, cause its an old movie and film is expensive, also that movie stupid and campy, ALSO I ONLY LEARNED MAKING THIS AU THAT IN ENGLISH THE GAME’S CALLED “CLUE” wE CALL IT CLUEDO therefore my wip playlist is called cluedo. because. fuck it.)(i just have an emotional attachment to that game i even had a cd rom video game version and it was the spookiest shit for a 6 years old, trust me, i played it so much tho i didnt even understand the rULES i was just making scenarios like gathering the characters in rooms n making conversations outloud cause honestly the banter is the best part of a murder mystery) ANYWAY that sure is a whole paragraph of tangent. 
BUT YE the inspo from the Clue game. you can tell it from the Colours obviously, everyone’s colour codded.(even everyone’s name is colours as well you’ll see it’s real dang fancy! im just remaking that game but with 2932020 characters and more behind the scenes drama and also for gay people.)
So BASIC PLOT!
Sir Belyy, the dude in white, is The Rich Powerful Respected Fancy Boss, and he throws a Fancy Reception Party with his closest friends and associates to celebrate the opening of a new branch of his business. All the lads gather in his wonderful little very isolated mansion in the middle of nowhere, like ok he got a death wish or something or he’s very trusting of his business partners, but not a good move, cause in the middle of the reception, as A Phat Storm Starts (for plot convenience, we going with a campy vibe if you couldnt tell), his body is found, it’s awful, there’s a killer on the loose! All the guests gather, and attempt to maybe contact the authorities, to not avail, since The Storm ya know, phone lines are Broken my dude. Its clear that the culprit is among them, since no one could have entered the house, or left it (cuz once again, ThE sTORm). And then it’s all about interrogating each other, distrust, alliances and betrayal, revealing one’s deepest secrets when they form an alibi and revealing someone else’s deepest secret for they could be a motive! Meanwhile there’s a dead body in the mansion just chillin there. 
.
So as I mentioned, I changed everyone’s name to be colour related (or ya know, food or flowers of that colour cause sometimes a colour in a language would not work as a name given the way names work in that culture all that jazz) which is the trippiest thing cause tHATS NOT YALLS USUAL NAMES but its fun (also changed so many ages hgfhs it was a trip)(still no one’s really old i guess i got boomerphobia). The “Cast” is clearly the most important part, and if ur a True “My OCs” Connaisseur (hdfghd the most useful skill to have, knowing *MY* Charactersdshgd) you may have recognised some faces and can already read some vibes and predict who will be progressing the plot and who will be yelling at people throwing accusations ghdfgd.
(god i wish i hadnt slacked off making the portraits of everyone in that AU i only have 3 tho that’s so sad so ill just make little sketches just cause <3 only text??? i got too many hoes with no attention span for that)
.
Sir BELYY (the one who dIEs lmao)
Tumblr media
(bust shot missing the fact that this man is the tallest beefiest lad around)
Intimidating, powerful, composed, wealthy, carries the name of a family who has generations of control to it’s reputation, he’s The Man that hoes who believe in the economy wishes they were. As in, the “self made” man who only just happened to benefit from having a wealthy background to uplift his plans. In his youth, he wanted to prove his worth, seperated himself from his father, started a business, that business became big, then got attached to the family’s business, bam back to square one but with Reputation now. There seemed to be VERY big tension between him and The Father, some speculate it had to do with his unknown mother, and some family drama there, and it never got resolved as old man Belyy died quite young (the jUICY speculations are that current sir Belyy mURDEREd old man sir Belyy, fucked up if true!). People love him though in general, as he has that reputation of “Cold Lad With a Gold Heart” aka he takes people under his wings, donates, doesnt treat his employees like the absolute worst garbage etc... you know, he’s rich and a half decent person, so obviously he’s an angel on earth. But does it matter though, he’s dead! that’s the concept of the story!  
Mr.GRAY (the grey guest)(who could have guessed from the name)
Tumblr media
He’s one of Sir Belyy’s oldest employees, and benefits from a high rank in the company. But, sadly for him, he’s been stagnating lately, as newer, youngest employees seem to have Belyy’s favours, and are his prefered associates for important tasks and positions. Therefore he has Some Bitterness, Some Salt, Some Distaste, some unbriddled but professionally muted hatred for Specific people in the company. He can be an antagonistic figure, but the amount of time he spent in Belyy’s circle grants him an immense quantity of information about the man, but mostly, about his business. Anything about the company’s history, dealings, operations, he’s aware of, either having been told of them, or having snooped around to obtain, immune to being questioned due to his legitimacy in the company.
Mr.LIM (the green guest)
Tumblr media
Remember when it was said that Gray had beef with some employees cause they were younger and rose to high ranks faster than him and became Belyy’s favourite over him? Yeah well here comes the one he hates the most for that (ofc he’s belyys fave cuz he’s Mine <3) Our lad caught Belyy’s attention for his Exploits in like, em fancy high school tournaments of smart people, it’s a thing its ridiculous, making kids compete on Smart stuff for the pride of their schools n shit, well homie Lim got clout when doing that, and Belyy was extremely interested cause that kid’s main thing was how “this young lad got mad strategic skills tf are u a war general or smth how fancy”, and that’s a coveted skill for ruthless business. So as soon as the kid is an adult, bam, join the company my dude. And because he’s just that Cool n Sexy ofc he met the expectations Belyy had, and old man Belyy got attached cuz it do be such a young lad, a kid, mentally i am adopting. That’s how you get a youngas employee becoming the right hand man of one the phatest CEO in a few years, and even make your way into being a Good Lad on top of a business partner. And that’s how you get Gray to hate your ass too. Now though, fine lad with mad strategic skills, rising to power that fast, and even infiltrating Belyy’s private life? If I were Gray I’d call suspicion there’s surely some shady stuff going no way we’re just dealing with a nice fella who just happens to work good and be friendly to the boss right?
Herra MUSTA (the black “guest”)
Tumblr media
Belyy’s newest butler, assistant, house keeper, he multitasks. His family has been tied to Belyy’s for generations, fullfilling roles of help, but also of confidents. He’s been the head butler since only a short time, after his mother passed, and as such is still “in training” you could say, despite having served the family his whole life. There are rumours going around that the contract tying his family to the Belyys may end on his generation and need to be resigned. He known the manor by heart, and carries all keys to any locked room (and mostly, The Master Key, cause in an old house, some doors may be locked beyond all still existing keys). He also knows secrets of the family that no one else knows, but good luck getting em out of him, he’s under contract not to divulge em bro.
Mr. HASSEL (the brown guest)
Tumblr media
Belyy’s childhood friend. They grew up together, pictured their dreams together, sworn to flourish together, worked together when starting the company, and then Hassel felt he should create his own thing instead of depending on his friend’s existing wealth, and while Belyy’s business went wild, his never took off. They still stayed very close, despite the massive difference in wealth. Belyy considers him his closest friend, the one person he can trust (fucked if hassel did the murder lemme tell u). So of course, he’s still always invited to the Prestigious meet ups where’s he’s free to feel uncomfortably out of place amongst all the rich and powerful people that he could have been a part of had he had a tiny bit of luck and a small loan from a wealthy relative...People LOVE saying he’s still hanging out with Belyy so much to leech off his wealth, cause of course they do! His bestie status means he has a whole different brand of information of Belyy than his butler does, the Most Intimate Stuff, the Childhood Stuff. The Juicy stuff ya kno...But Bro Code, its all secrets...
Sir RUZH (the red “guest”)
Tumblr media
Deep dive into Belyy’s personnal history, the man has many employees working at his house keeping it working, clean, ya know the vibe. They live on the premice, one has a kid who’s just a Joy to be around, all the employees just vibe with that lad, he’s just a born socialite you know? Belyy gets to meet the kid, and also hella vibes with him. And because human are influenced by their feelings, he gives the kid’s mum a bit of a preferencial treatment, in the tasks she fullfils and all, til he gives her an important-as mission, and then there’s an accident n mama dies, and now Belyy got guilt and there’s this kid who just Vibes. So naturally the move is to take the kid in, and play on how his vibes are just so clean, and raise him to be the Perfect Entertainer for guests, bam, its soft power propaganda, if everyone loves your now son’s vibes, they associate them with you too. And also that’s kind of a clean rep, the selfless man who adopted his employee’s son to not have him fall to the streets, how heartwarming. Not at all traumatising for the kid too I bet! But anyway now the lad is just the most charming young adult, mission accomplished. He’s always present at any reception, ready to work his people-pleasing magic, and then going back to a gigantic empty manor to wait for the next and curate the perfect vibes to meet the expectations of dad. On the plus side, he knows everyone, and those who don’t know him cannot wAIT to, he’s just got that aura ya know. People skills for miles, and the insider knowledge that comes with being the son of the CEO, all this hidden behind the personna of the fresh innocent bashful party lad. 
Dr.FEN (the pink guest)
Tumblr media
Do not get mistaken by the title, he’s no doc, he will not diagnose you with anything, he just studied long enough to get the sexy title. Study in what? Haha. Nothing shady. Just toxicology. He’s a world reknown poison expert basically, that’s his main thing. Oh but don’t worry, of course studying substances that may kill people is only for finding out how to cure them from it of course. What brings him in this circle? Simple, Belyy may or may not have started to suffer some weird illness that no doctor has been able to find the source, let alone cure, of. Him and Dr.Fen had met previously on some event, cause some rich man also love flexing how smart they are and attending sciencey shit, and he was contacted as sort of a shot in the dark. The lad does know how to treat some things, maybe he can treat The Mysterious Unwellness, since no traditional doctor was able to. He knows science, he’s trustworthy, bam, you’re hired to work on My Case Exclusively. Thanks to this, Dr.Fen has access to the whole health history of Belyy and his family, to many mANY dangerous substances, and also has The Respect of the hoes at the party. He HAS a doctorate after all. Epitome of knowledge. And he’s a kind to people and he wears pink like dang how can you nOT pour your wHOLE trust in him. 
Sir MOREVITCH (the blue guest)
Tumblr media
Youngest son of an affluent family, who used to be close the the Belyys. The two families fell slightly appart after the death of the previous head of the family on the Belyy side, as they do nOT vibe with the current one (well current, til the first night of the story ig). But, unbeknownst to all, one strong link had been kept, between the youngest of the Morevitch, who dislikes his family and wishes to emancipate himself from them while also assuring his depart will not throw him basically in the streets, and our beloved Sir Belyy, who also dislikes the Morevitches but loves to see the rebellious energy of the young one (and ya know, my enemy’s enemy’s my friend or however you say that). So Belyy’s basically offering tips and helping Morevitch plant himself safely out of his family’s grasp, but it’s all taking quite some time isn’t it, slow and steady is fine until your parents try to arrange a wedding to secure more political power, and suddenly it is all quite urgent that you escape that situation because No Thank You Parents I Do Not Want A Wife I’m Too Young And Also Huh <3 Stuff You Won’t Like Hearing For Sure <3. The people who know they’re working together also know that it’s a big point of argument between them, the difference in vision between “you have to go slow and steady to be safe” and “I have very limited time to get to that safety anyway so I gotta risk it” “hell no you cant i can’t follow through if we’re going that quick that’ll put me at risk and you’re family’s gonna send gunmen to take me down”. A mess, it’d be much quicker to just obtain a few million bucks out of nowhere and bolt for sure...
Mr.GANG (the orange guest)
Tumblr media
Morevitch’s trusted assistant. He hears the concerns, he helps the secret businesses, he lies to the parents about the whereabouts, and mostly, he’s basically a budget spy. The lad got that talent where people just don’t notice him popping behind them and catching all their dirty laundry as they confess it to someone they trust, and he always manages to break into places, get the intel he was looking for, and escape, putting everything back into place as if no one was ever there (wonder where he got all those skills from damn!). But what he’s even better at is being sneaky not only to benefit his boss, but himself as well <3. If he can catch all the info in the world, go any places, nothing’s stopping him from playing double agent and also going behind Morevitch’s back. After all the assistant life isn’t the most glamourous and rewarding, who can blame him from going and using his talents to build his own little exit route, right? Everybody sort of knows he cannot be trusted, but also no one managed to really incriminate or stop him, and as much as he has tea on many people, no has it on him, but bet once found that would be heeeella juicy.
M.MOUTARDE (the yellow guest)(this one is straight up the name of the yellow player in the french edition of clue too when i say its my main vibe)
Tumblr media
Moutarde was an influential celebrity. He had a big break acting in a movie that the whole country stanned so hard they basically turned the script into their national anthem (they would have if it was a true democracy where the people really decide), he was so handsome and elegant, everyone’s dream husband. And then the fame fiddled out because it’s how fame is, one moment you’re the sexiest dish on the table and the next someone brings in dessert and baam, its all about that fresh cake, and no one pays any mind to your delightful aroma anymore, you’ve gone cold, they had a bite, their interest is somewhere else. Belyy really admires his work though, and mostly finds his image fits with the brand of his company, therefore the two are working on a collaboration to make Moutarde a representative. This WOULD boost Moutarde’s reputation, for his ads would be displayed on every imaginable surface of the country, and it would also benefit the company cause being represented by thAT sexy motherfucker? clearly that’s a deal. The freshness of the partnership means Moutarde is a newcomer in the guests, a fresh face, with no reputation, no relationships, no unfair biases against him. He’s just the new handsome charismatic lad with a squeaky clean image. Emphasis on “image”. After all, no one really knows anything of his background, right?
Kun.LAWENDER (the purple guest)
Tumblr media
Private investigator, very useful to be around at a party it’s almost like it was expected there’d be a body to investigate, he’s a very close associate of Belyy, as there’s nothing more important to business than investigating the rivals and finding dirt on them to make them fall through infamy. He’s not exactly the PI who goes look for justice to be served, he’s just here for cash bro. He’s got intel on everyone, and will only let it out if offered the right thing in return (money, or sometimes other pieces of very secret intel, trade is good). Wouldn’t advise letting him and Gang team up tbh but they probably wouldnt, as Lawender is really more of a lone wolf player, going on his own for himself. The one thing that negates his usefulness as a PI on an accidental crime of scene is that even if he knew the whole truth of the event he would not spit it out unless he benefitted from saying it. He sure is a polarising lad, but at the same time, an untouchable one, he’s too knowledgeable to be taken down. Rather than sneaky, he’s extremely observant, noticing the tiniest details and engraving them in his memory, ready to be linked up to other details to deduct the big picture. He’s the upfront tea gathered basically (as opposed to Gang’s shadow tea gathering if you will, they are similar forces but using opposite methods)(also one of em got a licence n the other does not hAH).
~~~~
Now the secrets, all of em have them. One of em at least got the secret of having KILLED Belyy that’s that. But that’s to be kept for later (for if i ever use this story for more than daydream material gfhjgh) bet you can imagine what some of em may be just out of Knowing what i do, from having seen the characters in other contexts, or just because you’re a genius and reading the character profiles immediatly lit up the bulbs in your head forming the perfect theory, props to you, mad genius.
Honestly my thoughts are just how lit of a game that would be, you get to pick one hoe (maybe sum are locked til u find their secrets for juicy purposes) and you do your invetigation using your character’s perks and disadvantages, and maybe there could even be Multiple scenarios and outcomes, to spice it up, give replay value, i just think it’d be a game id spend hours on. tryin to get the spicy details of everyone’s life. walking around n digging through a rich man’s stuff, witnessing the drAMA of people fighting cause they’re locked in with a murderer and that’s stressful ngl. That or a long ass show @ netflix wanna give me a show maybe? give me hella budget we’re making it animated cause im too cultured for live action. 
whatever i make of it though, i hope i can make this story Flourish, just so that i can lay down all those secret backstories i’ve written. i want the satisfaction of throwing out the craziest secret drama between character n seeing peeps loose their minds, it just is a tasty experience.
also i gotta say, i plug the hell out of Clue for an inspo but when i was building the basics of the story my mind immediatly went “oH MY GOD THE VIBES,, THE BACKSTABBING AND tEAMING UP and all,,, its The Genius, that one tv show where peeps have to do the wildest games that require strategy n they’re in that fancy set that looks like a rich ppl mansion oh god the vibes” so yeah, i rewatched the whole first two seasons cause they’re my faves and that had an impact if only minimal in the aesthetic.
Anyway hope that quick presentation gave you a lil taste of the story, and maybe,,,, got you curious,,, craving to learn more like you never did before (im exaggerating the only real question we all got is just “so who’s fuckin with whom then how many of yall secretly dating” this the real deal)
#doodlin every lad's face at one rly be like 'welcome to the cheekbone festival'#they got antti AND said at once like the cheekbonage is out of this world!#that's musta n gang btw#also every single time i draw cream (blue lad) im like 'i havent drawn u in ages' n it isnt#that i dont draw him much anymore#but that ive drawn only this bitch for months back in the days#him bein in this without his lover....criminal#cuz his boo wouldnt fit a murder mystery au like#hoes would find the corpse he'd just be like 'welp on that imma go to bed aight bye'#anyway u can tell which of my ocs i simp for v easely#like fr#they the ones i spend the longest drawfigfdj cuz i draw em n then go 'not hot enough do it again'#a struggle!#anyway the secret is that i prepares a motive AND an alibi for all of em#so that i can pick who murdered belyy at the last moment <3#its all abt the contextual clues on the scene of crime <3#none of the drama tells u anything its all for the treat of gossip <3#sad part of this project is how much ive planned n written yet i can barely tell anythin if i want to make it#n ive drawn nothingbhd#i hav a dari n a weiwei in their coloured clothes lookin handsome cuz ofc i do#im predictable i have faves#ask if they're in love in this one too take a fuckin guess#u rly think hoe going to his boss's house so much to see the ceo ???? HAH#the real question isnt if theyre smooshin we all kno that answer the question is if dad white suit knows thATs whats important#are yall secret lovers or is green boy climbing the ladder of the company cuz he's smashing the boss's son#who knows#i do i aint telling pay me

Tagged by: @orangeflavoryawp  thank you! <3 
Tagging: @vivilove-jonsa @missfaber @angrykittykrys 
Ao3 name: sailorshadzter 
Fandoms: lately, it’s jonsa (game of thrones) everything, like with very little else. BUT i also am known to write for harry potter, atla, & many many anime/mangas. 
Number of fics: specifically on ao3, it’s just 20 so far. but there’s 93 on my ff.net account. i have a lot of work i have yet to post, mostly because it’s old and terrible & no one should be subjected to it. 
Fic you spent the most time on: it’s one that’s not fully posted on ao3, because im in the process of rewriting it. but a very dark harry potter au. i wrote for it over the expanse of 4yrs, whether it was actual chapters or little updates. 
Fic you spent the least time on: like, continuous fic? thats completed? i dont have many of those LOL im notorious for never finishing anything ever which is why i usually stick to drabbles and oneshots! i guess to give a real answer, it would be a sailor moon fic that i wrote on tumblr & wow i wonder where that is. i just remember writing 
Longest fic: again, probably the original hinny au thats currently being rewritten. which was almost 70k words after the last update i did. HOWEVER my tumblr ask box prompts is about to crack 140k words. 
Shortest fic: it would have to go to one of my oneshots or drabbles. i know there’s a few that are less than 1000 words. 
Most hits: my tumblr ask box prompts. 
Most kudos: again, see above. 
Most comment threads: ‘and yet again, see above. i’m glad to know people love the drabbles i write. i will say, my newest multi chapter fic (i swear ill finish this one ok) is really a hit, which is really exciting :)
Fave fic you wrote: i mean, i LOVED that harry potter au, hence the reason for me rewriting it. but i also wrote a zutara fic that for as terrible as the writing feels to me right now, i love it for what it is. it had a decent plot & i could see the beginnings of the writer i am now. i was really proud of that one. 
Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: OH MY GOD, ALL OF THEM?
im not kidding. i really am terrible at updating multi chapters. i prefer one shots. drabbles, that sort of thing. 
however, i will say i will get back to a few at some point. like my taylor swift based modern au & my jonsa role reversal fic. & like 100 more. good thing i have nothing else to do currently, i can hopefully get to a lot of them. 
if nothing else, quarantine is helping me catch up on writing lol
Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning:
just a random drabble i had started the other night!
She's soft and still in the firelight, shrouded in the golden light; he wonders if she knows just how beautiful she is.
"Sansa..." Her name is soft upon his lips and she turns to him, blue eyes shining in the light that surrounds her. She takes a step closer, as if she anticipates more words to come, but he finds now that she is looking at him he can't find his voice. Drifting closer still, she smiles, a peace offering between them. "I'm sorry... I..." She's so close now, he can smell the rosewater she's washed her hair in. Her hand reaches out, pressing against his chest, his heart beating against her palm.
"You don't have to say it," she whispers and Jon closes his eyes.
When he opens them again, it's so he can reach out his hand, brushing his thumb across her lower lip, fingers caught beneath her jaw.
this is on my “to finish” list for the day. :)

1, 2, 14, 15 & 20 ?
1: Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?
so i have a lot of things going right now, but i think the most solid WIP i have currently is my stranger!sasha fic! the premise is that sasha isn’t erased when she’s notthemed, but instead her consciousness is thrown into various people and she wakes up as a new person every day. it’s already pretty long so i’m working on dividing it up to maybe make it a chaptered fic!
my favorite part of it is that its just an excuse to write more sasha 🥺 i have SO many opinions about her characterization and who she is, and i love exploring them !
2: Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project
i think i’m most excited to write sasha’s descent into avatarhood? monsterhood? she’s not really either but she’s certainly not human anymore, and i’m already having fun working with that idea. 
14: At what point in writing do you come up with a title?
typically once im finished or just about to finish the fic!
15: Which is harder: titles or summaries (or tags)?
titles, usually! im boring so i take lyrics from songs and sometimes i fight with myself over which lyric i want to use. 
20: Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)
i have a lot of hidden nods to canon or secrets in but we got heart, but here are a few little meta bits:
in chapter one, when martin is late to the shop on his usual day, he’s described as breathing hard and having a red face, and that’s because he realized he was late and ran to the coffee shop like the little gay man he is <3
in chapter two, georgie compliments melanie on the newest WTG episode that took place in a haunted theater, which in my mind was the theatre royal/drury lane, which is famous for having hella ghosts
last, melanie is going blind because of glaucoma, specifically open-angle glaucoma. it’s characterized by a gradual loss of sight that cannot be fixed.

Misc WIP Folder
So I’m going through my WIPs folder’s subfolders. 
One is labelled Misc, so that’s the one I’m going through now. Everything will be below the cut because this will probably be a long post, there are sixteen files in this folder. 
Most of them are from different fandoms, so I’ll put what fandom it’s in + what title I have for it in my folder in bold before I talk about it. I’ll be going from oldest to newest. Technically not because I can’t sort Google docs like that, but rather “last modified by me” so, longest abandoned to newly abandoned I guess?
 Also Spoilers for any of the fandoms, maybe? Probably. 
If you have any questions about any of the fandoms, message me or send me an ask. I’m open to talking about any and all of them. 
Fandoms Involved (Ordered by appearance):
Murdered: Soul Suspect (Video Game)
Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia (TV Show)
Gravity Falls (TV Show)
Until Dawn (Video Game)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV Show)
The Mummy (2017) & (1999) (Movies)
Assassination Classroom (TV Show/Anime)
Red vs. Blue (Online Show- Rooster Teeth)
Camp Camp (Online Show - Rooster Teeth)
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (TV Show)
Devil May Cry (Video Game + Anime)
Aladdin (2019) (Movie)
Castlevania (TV Show)
Murdered: Soul Suspect - MSS
So there isn’t much in this one, just a bullet pointed outline. Murdered Soul Suspect is a video game, if you don’t know it and are curious you can google it or message me. 
Anywho. This is just a little part I thought was funny.
Tumblr media
It’s essentially a Ronan survives AU of the game, pretty standard and I thought it would be fun. Honestly this part about Ronan and his cracked spine just reminded me of Obi-wan and how I write him in ignoring his injuries (and how most people write him) so it made me laugh a bit. 
There’s really not much here, I didn’t even finish the outline.
Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia - trollhunters au
I am very creative with my titles. Clearly. This is another bullet point outline. but this one is longer and irrc I actually started writing this, and that file would also be in this folder so if I did write it’ll also be featured on this post.
This is an au where Claire is the trollhunter rather than Jim.
Tumblr media
The top bit is literally just for context on the next star point. Anywho Writing AAARRRGGGHH/ seeing it spelled out is funny to me. Also I’m pretty sure I rewatched bits with AAARRRGGGHH with subtitles on to see how it was spelt and then replicated that.
The second star point is funny to me because I describe annoyance/anger (rightful, both of them) as pissy. And that’s funny.
There’s more but if I’m write and I wrote it out, then that’ll be featured later. 
Gravity Falls - Gravity Falls
... Okay I’m not creative with titles until I have to be. Once more, bullet point outline. So this is an after-canon AU where Bill left a remanent of himself in Dipper and it’s become apparent when they’re in Piedmont.
Tumblr media
I just like the rules I had Dipper give Bill. I thought they were neat. Also, I like Mabel convincing Dipper to let Bill live because he’s pathetic. This is a demon who has tormented them for an entire summer, but nows he’s pathetic so lets help him. 
Not much of interest in this. I probably didn’t write it because it’d be a long and day-in-the-life type fic. It’d just be Dipper and Bill coexisting and going through life and IDK how well I’d of written that. So I didn’t write it.
Until Dawn- Until DAwn AU
FYI I’m keeping the titles case-sensitive. Another bullet outline. So this is a Josh survives/exorcised AU, also an Everybody Live AU. I’m pretty sure I wrote this when I was heavily invested in Until Dawn and Josh (because I like him.) And I was reading Until Dawn fanfic in which Josh is blamed for what happened on the mountain. And I think I was getting pissy which lead to this:
Tumblr media
So in this AU the Until Dawn Group splintered into Sam, Josh & Chris, and Mike, Emily, Jess, Matt & Ashley. So this conversation/fight is between Chris and the second group. So Chris is the 1st,3rd and 5th talking bullet point. I don’t know who’s talking in the 2nd &4th bullet point but it’s one of the second group. Probably Emily, Mike or Jess maybe. Not Ashley.
Im 90% sure that I wrote out this entire outline just for this little interaction. 
It just tickles my id. I still kind of like it, but I honestly don’t know what else I’d write for this AU.
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Zuko is the avatar
Title is self-explanatory. Also, I really like bullet outlines. So. Anywho. 
Aang is still a 12 year old in this, he used up all his “avatar energy” (that’s literally what I wrote) to keep himself alive so he’s just an airbender now.
Tumblr media
I just love Iroh. And this is just funny to me.
If I ever wrote this, it’d be a lot of hijinks of Katara and Aaang (and eventually Toph) covering for Zuko whenever he bends anything other than fire. More cracky than serious.
“The Mummy (2017)” and “The Mummy (1999)” - Mummy x Mummy
I watched the 2017 version of the mummy (got it from the library for 2 bucks) and since there are some throwbacks to the 1999 movie I decided to try to combine them. This also became an AU where Evie and Rick save Imhotep in Mummy 2, and due to Evie being revived meant she was functionally immortal (doesn’t age, but can still be killed). And due to everything, by the Mummy 2017 rolls around it’s just her and Imhotep hanging around, investigating ancient egypt and whatnot.
Tumblr media
Honestly this is just part of the outline. None of this is really amusing to me, just, if I ever tried to write it, a lot of work. Although, the fact that I can’t remember the blonde lady friend from the Mummy 2017 is kind of amusing and I literally call her ‘BLF’ throughout this entire outline. I think her name was Lisa. Or Sara.
i’ll google it.
Assassination Classroom - AC AU
At this point, I might as well tell you when it isn’t a bullet outline than saying when it is.
This was really just a Reaper/Koro-sensei raises Nagisa rather than his mom.
Tumblr media
People panicking around children is amusing to me. Again, long AU. And this was probably an excuse to write some baby assassin Nagisa and whatnot. Honestly whenever I read this I do remember more details on this, that I have never written down. 
Murdered: Soul Suspect - Murdered: Soul Suspect
...
Okay I think this is just a repeat of the one I posted earlier???
Tumblr media
I- I don’t know what this was? Like this is newer than the other one? 
?????
Uh, brain weirdness?
Let’s move on.
Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia - TRollhunters
Ok! So this is the written out of the bullet point earlier. I did not write out much. But I’ll talk about it a bit more? So this AU is also a Bular survives and Jim finds him and helps AU.
Tumblr media
This is literally all I have written. So, right after this, Jim would find an injured Bular and helps him. There isn’t much to add, but I will add what I had written as Barbara’s reaction from the outline:
Tumblr media
Large AU, but it would be fun to write. I would most likely end up writing Claire’s journey of Trollhunting along with Jim’s adventures with Bular.
Red vs Blue - Meta, no, that wasn’t, he wasn’t
Okay, that’s not the full title but also the full title is literally the first sentence. Which is a long one so you get part of it. This is actually a written au, it’s about Agent Maine/ The Meta surviving and meeting up with Siris. This is just the first couple paragraphs:
Tumblr media
Nothing I read was particularly funny to me, so just the first two paragraphs. Essentially what would’ve happened is Siris would help Maine find Washington (on Chorus) go to Chorus. Find Felix and Locus. Drama Ensues.
I might actually write this. Maybe. There’s potential, if the drive hits me.
I havent watched RvB in a couple of years, but I did like the series. It was interesting.
Camp Camp- Camp Camp
Y’know since this is ‘misc’ I get just having fandom names. Lot easier to identifiy.
So, this file is currently loading still, but I remember this. It wasn’t that long ago. This wasn’t so much a fic as a comic I would of like to have done. I definitely would’ve needed to brush up on my art skills (I am mediocre at best) but it’s just a small little comic I would’ve done on Camp Camp.
Tumblr media
First little bit. I actually wrote out most of this rather than just bullet pointing it. 
There is a little bit I’d have to polish up, but I could probably post this entire thing. But I kind of want to actually do the comic first. But boy that’s a lot of work.
I love how most of the reason I’m not writing these is that they’re a lot of work.
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (TV Show) - Project Cheron
This is an AU where Priest is one of the projects of Blackwing. Specifically Cheron and I think my reasoning is that he makes people go where they need to be. IDK. I actually wrote a couple of these. But this one is essentially Priest getting a bunch of projects together to help something. Idk.
This entire thing is weird and would probably be labelled crack if I ever finished it.
Tumblr media
Okay. This entire scene is funny to me. Just, this girl rushing out in front of the car waving happily with a decapitated head in her hand. I like it. So, Aine and Herodias are OCs. Both are projects Priest is collecting. 
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (TV Show) - “Dirk
Another Priest is a Blackwing Project AU but that’s not really the focus of this story. This story is about a project (Project Carman- OC) who can trap people in their certain significant memories of her choosing. Carman gets annoyed at Bart, Dirk and the Rowdy 3 so she traps them in memories signifcant to their stay in Blackwing and Priest.
I’ve only written 2 of the six memories, so that’d be fun to complete. These are also just sad. They’re not happy memories. So, random moment that’s somewhat amusing:
Tumblr media
Also, title is the first sentence in the fic.
Devil May Cry - “Should I
I- why did I decide to do this from oldest to newest? Part of me is embarrassed, the other part is reminding me I have no reason to be? It’s a video game fic. But also this is a game of my childhood. It’s about Nero looking for his dad and finding Dante instead. Canonically Dante’s twin brother, Vergil, is Nero’s dad.
Tumblr media
Just a random moment because I didn’t write that much of it. Also I thought it was kind of cute. Patty shows up in the Devil May Cry anime. Which I watched before I played the games. 
Aladdin (2019) - Aladdin AU
A mix of bullet outline and written. I don’t actually have much of this AU, but essentially before Aladdin wishes to become a prince, he notices some mercenaries kidnapping a little girl and decides to rescue her. 
This girl is the princess of Shiroba, Aladdin takes her back to Shiroba. The Queen/ Sultana appreciates Aladdin going out of his way to help her so she invites him to stay in the palace. 
Eventually word gets to Shiroba that Agrabah is planning to attack so Aladdin and the two twin princes of Shiroba (that I made up, OCs) make a plan to infiltrate and see what they’re planning. They’re not planing espionage, but as Shiroba is a peaceful nation, they want to see if they should start evacuating people and whatnot.
So you get the Prince Ali stuff with the Genie and yada yada. 
I have none of that written. I just know that’s what I intended to do with it.
Tumblr media
So, first little bit. Long AU that would take a lot of work. Also, I know this isn’t super popular but I liked the 2019 version of Aladdin. I really like the changes they made. 
Castlevania (TV Show) - Waking up in Jail wasn’t a new experience
Again, title is first sentence. Not writing that out. Anywho, this is a kind of complete canon AU to Castlevania. Essentially we haven’t reached Lisa getting burnt at the stake yet. So, loving Dracula fam. Trevor and Sypha meet earlier due to circumstance. Alucard gets attacked by something and gets rescued by Trevor and Sypha. They travel together for a while. And then Sypha and Trevor get to meet Alucard’s parents. 
That’s where this AU will go if I ever write it. To be fair, last time I wrote in this file was March, so I guess that’s technically possible. Don’t hold out hope.
Tumblr media
First couple of paragraphs. 
Also, that’s it! Misc WIP folder done!
Oh, if you’ve made it this far, a)thank you and b) if you want to continue/write any of these, go ahead, but tag me or send me a link. I will be very happy to see/read what you create if you like any of this in an inspo way.
Also. This is long, so, IDK if Imma go through the other folders rn. Maybe tomorrow.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Mom why is the sky blue?”
I reply to my curious 8 year old daughter who was laying in the frosty grass of my backyard; her striped rainbow hat had fallen beside her face. “I don't know”
“Mom why is the grass green?” She asks as she plucks a blade of grass, her fingers melting the icy substance.
She never runs out of questions to ask. I place my book down on the end table that was near the patio chair. “I don't know sweetie”
“Mom why can't I have a sister or a brother?”
“That I definitely don't know” I chuckle a little while bringing my hot tea to my lips, taking a sip. Counting the calories in my head, I close my eyes just for a moment to enjoy this feeling; knowing soon it would be over. I place my mug down focusing my attention on my 4’1 fair skinned daughter who had jumped up from the icy ground and ran over to me. “You don't love all the attention I’m giving you?”
While in my arms she answered. “Attention is for animals at the zoo, Lindsey at school her mom just had a baby…..I want a baby too”
I take my cold hands placing them on her rosy cheeks, bringing her face closer to mines giving each other Eskimo kisses. “I do too darling” She giggles and backs away from me, taking a seat next to me on the patio chair. She grabs her mug, bringing the now cool hot chocolate to her lips.
We both turn our heads over to the fence that encompasses our backyard when we hear a familiar voice. My mother-in-laws voice fills my ears; Natasia holds her hands out and crouches down to be at the same level with Adalynn who was currently running to her grandmother. “Hey there's my little sweet cake”
“Grandma!!” Adalynn exclaims, her short arms wrap around the elderly woman’s neck.
Natasia lifts up Adalynn while picking up her scarf that had fallen from their previous encounter. “Are you ready for ice skating today?”
Adalynn nods, now placing her head on Natasia’s neck. “Yes I'm ready”
I see Natasia’s eyes shift over to me, she has a look of disapproval. I then see her nutmeg colored eyes observe Adalynn’s attire, seeing as how she is in her knit grey leggings, a yellow coat and her uggs. Basically what Natasia is saying that she is not in her practice uniform. Lowering my head as my red hair falls into my face. I then reach up to where my book lay grabbing it, the title read Bound Before The Morrow. “Well you don't look ready? Where's your skates and your gloves?”
Natasia sets Adalynn down on the ground, “There in the library, I have to go find them!! Can you help?”
Natasia grabs Adalynn’s hand, they both start their trek to my home library. As they walk past me, Natasia places her hand on my shoulder squeezing her nails which are digging into my skin. “Off to the library we go!!”
I flinch a little, waiting for the pain to subside my mind would often think about having more children. Giving my husband a boy or another girl, giving Adalynn someone to play with, giving her someone to grow up with.
I want to have a real family.
Speaking of my husband I see his name pop up on my phone screen, his profile picture is of him when we were on our vacation to the Maldives. I immediately answer; putting the book in my hand down. I bring my Iphone XIX up to my ear, I hear his low-toned voice which makes me smile.
“Hey my love”
I rise up from the patio chair, grabbing my now empty mug and Adalynn’s half full mug; gathering the piece of literature. While balancing my phone in between my shoulder and ear; I walk into the kitchen which was seconds away from my backdoor.“Hi Nathaniel, I can't wait for you to come home” Placing the mugs in the warm soapy water, and with my other hand I place the book down on my gray marble counter tops.
Nathaniel sighs, I know he has had a ton of meetings today, he must be exhausted. “I can't wait to come home either...I'm so ready to-”
“Get in bed?” I ask.
“Yes definitely” He answers.
“And doing what in bed?” I ask, as I take off my jacket my hands brush against my nipples which were now erect from just the sound of his voice. I knew I needed him in me now.
“Sleeping, I'm so drained from today's meetings”  I roll my eyes as I rest my elbows by the edge of the sink.
Turning on the faucet, letting the cold water run and scooping some up with my free hand; splashing it on my face. I know my face was red like a strawberry as I blushed with embarrassment. “Well I'm ovulating and I just thought-”
Nathaniel quickly apologizes “I'm so sorry…..your right, but wait don't you have that appointment today? To check to see if everything is working properly?”
That last comment caught me off guard, I scoff shutting the water off, my voice gets higher with every word. “Are you trying to say something Nathaniel?”
“What are you talking about?” Nathaniel asks, his voice getting defense.
“Are you calling me defected or something?”
I don’t hear anything on the other end for a good 30 seconds before I hear his usual blunt voice louder than normal. “Look I never said that...I'm just saying we have been trying for a couple of months now and nothing is happening”
I was getting agitated by the minute, and to think I was happy when he first called me just ten minutes earlier. “Yeah well maybe there's something wrong with you? Did you ever think about that?!”
He clears throat his voice is clear and firm, “Charlotte just go to the doctor and listen to what they are saying...they know what they are doing, just let them figure this out.”
I take a deep breath, practicing the exercises my therapist taught me when I’m feeling stressed. My words come out in a more calm tone. “I know it's just hard not knowing”
I can tell he was smiling through the phone, “Hey your still perfect to me” He softly says to me.
I roll my eyes while walking over to the living room placing my butt on the cushion first while letting gravity lead the rest of my body to fall. I snicker, “You've gotten better at dodging the situation.”
I then earn a chuckle from my husband, “I just try not to think about it...so are you finishing up your book?”
I examine a piece of loose cloth on my sweater while thinking about my newest romance novel, that I still have yet to complete. “Yeah, Bloomsbury said I have to turn it in by next week so I'll be cramming in the last few chapters like every night”
“You can do it” I appreciate the encouraging words from him but I already know he isn’t that interested in my writing. He barely wants to hear my ideas when its just us two together in the office sometimes. I know I supported him when he was starting up his computer software company, but its like he can’t give me that type of support. I already hear it from his mother everyday about how I’m not contributing to the household and how my job isn’t ideal for our lifestyle but I think Nathaniel and I are well off. Sometimes too well off, but I’m grateful for the life my husband has provided for me and I wouldn’t ever want to change it.
“Thank you” I reply.
He was now sounding concerned, “Did you eat today?”
I look over at the breakfast he made me this morning, some pancakes, eggs, with some sausage and a glass of orange juice. I can feel the plate staring at me; taunting me almost.
I lie. “Yes why?”
“You know how you get Charlotte” His voice changes to a more cheery tone. “How's my little blessing doing? Does she miss papa?”
A smile appears on my face thinking about how close they have gotten over the years. Old memories flood in when we first brought her home with us, when she wouldn’t let anybody else hug her but Nathaniel. That little girl has brought so much life to both of our lives. “She sure does”
“I want to talk to her”
My eyes search around the room until I hear Adalynn’s whines coming from the bathroom upstairs, I’m thinking Natasia is trying to do her hair. Its safe to say Adalynn despises getting her hair touched at all, if it weren’t for me doing her hair at night while she was asleep her hair would look like a birds nest. “She's getting ready for ice skating lessons”
I hear some shuffling of some papers on the other end of the line. “Who's taking her?”
“Well your mother of course” I answer matter of factly.
“Is Wallace going with her?” he asks referring to Natasia’s life partner as she likes to call. I just think she didn't want to date someone who was halfway to their deathbed.
I shake my head, trying to remember the man's work hours, “No I don't think so, why would he go with her?”
He clicks his tongue, he voice is now showing a hint of annoyance, “He follows my mom everywhere when he's not at work, he's like a lost puppy looking for a bone”
I try and reason with him, in no way am I condoning this relationship but its his mother's life. “He likes her company, I mean they are together”
I can see his face now, he probably has his head buried in his hands, the vein on his forehead is probably protruding. His voice sharp on the subject at hand. “I don't even know why mom would get with that bast-”
“Hey, just calm down...now it's been years since your father died Nathaniel, I think she felt it was time for her to move on” I bring my hand up to my face sliding it across from my eyebrows to my right cheek. Slightly annoyed by his whole tone changing just by the sound of a another mans name. If I being honest I think Nathaniel just doesn’t want his mother to be happy with anyone else.
“With a guy 30 years younger than her?”
“Love is love”
I hear a foreign voice on his end of the line call out to him, he pauses for minute listening to what the person had to say. He grumbles profanities before saying, “Anyways I have to go, tell Adalynn I said good luck at practice today, and for you good luck with the appointment.”
I place my hand on my stomach, sending a little prayer up to the universe asking to help me. “Love you”
“Love you to pieces.” He replies back, I then hear the three beeps letting me know the call has ended.
I bring my feet down to the multicolored carpet that lay in my very moody/dark living room. Walking over to the kitchen where my plate of food lay, I look at how the syrup has settled into the fried flour. How the eggs have melted cheese in them, and how the sausage is glistening with the fatty oils that came from the pan.
It makes me sick to even think about.
Without hesitation I place the food in the garbage can, while taking a few minutes of my time to tidy up the kitchen.
Just after I had finished putting all the wet dishes on the drying rack; I see my phone buzz. I see the notification from an unknown number. I tap the message, reading the screen over and over hoping it would change. Hoping she would somehow disappear from my life forever.

While Natasia was taking Adalynn to practice I had to catch my appointment with Dr. Stone. She has been my doctor for years, even before I wanted to have children. I was sitting in her office waiting for her to come back with my test results we had previously did in the summer, approximately about 2 months before today’s date. Her mahogany tinted skin came into view, her eyes were looking down at my folder, she didn’t express any emotion at all. Sitting down across from me; her silver and glass office desk is the only barrier between us two. “Nothing is 100% set in stone but things aren't looking good Charlotte...the tests came back, we already know that you had some problems in your past.”
I purse my lips, crossing my arms over my body, “Problems that I'm trying to fix.”
She sets my folder aside, she swallows her lips; looking me in my eyes she asks. “Have you been making yourself-”
Why won’t she let this subject go? Can’t she see that I’m trying to do better for not only my health but the health of my womb. I notice my right eye start to twitch while my left leg start to move side to side. “No...I told you I'm trying to fix things”
Pursing her own plump lips she looks at my body language, her eyes focus back on her desk. “I know I'm just making sure”
I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in. I’m starting to get anxious about the silence in the room, with only the clock ticking. I straighten up in the chair I’m currently sitting in; peering over to look at my folder I try and make out what all of this means. Placing my chewed fingernails on the edge of the desk I ask,  “Ok so what is it?”
Her eyes meet mines, a warm smile appears on her face making me feel much better about my current condition, but boy was I wrong. “You seem to be ovulating regularly but we are not in the safe zone, with the things your body has been through with your other miscarriages plus your eating disorder I don't know if your even going to able to carry another baby full term.”
That isn’t what I wanted to hear at all.I sit back in my chair, placing my index finger on my temple and my thumb on my cheekbone, my voice is now grim “Do you think I’ll ever be able to experience motherhood to the full extent?”
“Charlotte you’re already a mother” Dr. Stone reassures me, reaching her hand across the desk; motioning her fingers telling me to grab a hold of her hand for comfort. Even though it seems sometimes she has a stone heart, it feels like something or someone is always chipping away at it. Never married, no children, her life seems more miserable than mines. But she had told me previously she lives a happy and well content life, a life that is worth living.
Grabbing onto her hand I feel my nose get hot, my top lip starts to quiver, I can feel myself start to crumble in front of her. “Yes I know that but, experiencing the baby kick and the belly…..the maternity clothes” My head lowers having my thick head of hair conceal my face, I notice the tears falling down like raindrops onto her desk. I repeatedly apologize, while taking my sweater and trying my best to wipe it away.
Dr. Stone squeezes my hand and in a soft but comforting voice she says, “Charlotte look….I know it’s hard. But you have to realize there are other options for you….you could try adopting”
I shake my head, quickly retracting my hand back away from hers; I take the sleeve of my sweater to wipe my face. Again that’s not what I was wanting to hear, maybe it was childish of me to not face reality but I wasn’t in the right mental space to accept that something is really wrong with me. I rise up from my seated position, “Are we done here?”
I could see Dr. Stone was taken aback by my actions just a few seconds prior, but that didn't; stop her from containing a level of professionalism. She grabs a pen from inside her desk, “Yes, just let me sign your paperwork and give you your prescription.”
When I walk into the lobby of the clinic I wait in line for my name to be called to set up another appointment with Dr. Stone in the next couple of months. As I’m waiting I see a woman who looks middle aged, carrying a small infant. I peer down, her saddle brown diaper bag and I see a large text book, in which it read: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. It looks as though she is getting her Ph.D. I then settle my eyes on the warm olive toned baby. The baby could be 5 months...6? I focus my attention back on the mother, I wonder how life for her is like, is it hard? Trying to be in school while also raising a child? I wonder if she too had complications conceiving and suddenly she fell pregnant? Or If she’s just fertile and has 6 kids at home, either way I'm jealous.
Why can’t I just conceive? I can feel the tears coming, I start to sniffle the mucus that was wanting to run all down my nose. A kind young woman noticing me grabs me some tissue from her purse, I gladly took them. After a short while of being in my own head my name finally got called.
I had just gotten in my 2026 Honda C-RV, with my seat belt on but; I didn’t put my left foot on the brake to push the button to start the car. Instead I turn my back to look at the 2nd row of my sports utility vehicle; looking at the back two seats. Seeing Adalynn’s booster seat brings back memories of when Nathaniel and I first brought it. The countless questions he would ask when she first started riding with us.
“Are you comfortable Adalynn?”
“Is it too high Adalynn?”
I then remember just a short time after she had gotten comfortable with us, Nathaniel and I were taking a trip to the market. Adalynn was in a deep slumber, we could see her lips slightly parted hearing her small snores.
In the driver's seat, he takes his seat belt off turning to me while I was trying to get the shopping list together, “You think you want another?”
I mush my eyebrows together confused as to what he was asking me. “Another child?”
He nods, grabbing my hand, “Of course another child...but this time I want you to carry mines”
I look away not wanting to discourage him but I know with the previous miscarriages it would be damn near impossible.
As my electric blue eyes scan the outside world, bringing me back to the present.
 Through my back window I notice a butterfly; swiftly moving against the wind its beautiful and articulate details to its wings had me memorized. The way tiny insect was able to push through and keep on going.
Butterflies mean hope, it could mean something else to others but to me it means I have to to keep hope alive, I can’t give up. In the back of my mind I knew I couldn’t bring myself to arrive home and present my husband with horrible news.
Not again at least.
I wanted to give him another child but I needed to weigh my options again, I needed to make a decision on what I was going to do. To have that hope that I had a few minutes ago; I decide to call the only person I know who could help me in this situation. Pressing my left foot on the brake I push the button to start my vehicle. 
Taking my phone and grabbing my charger cord connecting it to car; I press the third contact number down. After hearing the 4th ring she finally answers, Her honeyed voice fills up my car. “Hi”
I look in the rear view mirror waiting to see if any cars were coming behind me. When I don't see anyone I proceed to change my gear to reverse, “How are you doing? Mother”
Natasia answers, “I'm doing well your little firecracker is keeping me on my toes, I can't wait for another.”
My foot presses on the break suddenly my body jerks forwards. Taking a couple of shallow breaths I look back in my rear view mirror seeing a car almost run into me. I take my hand putting it up; mouthing the words ‘I'm sorry’ to the husband who is currently trying to get his wife into clinic that I was just coming out of. I clear my throat, “I don't think that's going to happen”
“What? What do you mean?”
As I turn out the parking lot and onto the main road I press the button to let the seat heaters turn on, I turn the volume up a bit higher. “The doctor told me that she doesn't think I'm able to carry a baby to full term”
Natasia scoffs, “Oh that's preposterous! That's just not true”  I hear Adalynn in the background naming her favorite animals.
Stopping at the red light I raise my eyebrows while nodding my head, “I'm telling you...it is”
I hear her voice get quiet, “What about adoption?”
I press the gas pedal when the light turns green, my car hits a pothole in the road sending me and my car up off the asphalt for a second. I twist my lips, “Adoption again? We had to wait years to get Adalynn and I don't think I can't wait that long again...we just got her three years ago, I want a baby. A baby that I can hold and nurture, a baby that knows I'm its mommy.”
“Well you know Rachel?” Natasia asks me.
I remember fondly of the now mother 5, her husband was a aerospace engineer while she was a real estate agent. Her eldest Destiny would play with Adalynn sometimes after school. “Yeah the one that had the triplets last fall?”
“Yeah her..well she was infertile and she got some help.”
Now I’m intrigued I always thought she had the triplets naturally, although I was a little skeptical on why she would always be in her minivan covering her stomach while picking up her girls. “Help? What do you mean?”
“I mean she hired a surrogate”
I was astonished, I didn’t know how to react. I turn on the corner of Layfette and Wilbur Road. “Is that illegal?”
Natasia chuckles, “Oh no darling never...I'll tell you what? I'll set you up an appointment at the place, it's called Gifting Miracles”
Thinking about what she was saying still in my heart I thought about that butterfly. I still want to keep trying but maybe sitting back and letting someone else do the work for me isn't so bad right?
I mean the saying goes mom knows best.

I smooth out my tan slacks and button the top of my jade green blouse, walking into the Ice Skating Rink for my interview. As I enter I’m greeted with a plethora of hellos and good afternoons from the parents waiting for their children to go onto the ice. I see to my left and right a sitting area, most of the kids are in their long sleeved shirts either playing with one another or on a tablet.
I look straight ahead from the front door I see the ice rink, a coltish young brunette haired woman shouts out to the kids that were currently on the ice. All the girls huddle around to watch as she brings her right hand around her body; her arms moving slowly. “Ok girls now we are going to bring our right hand around and start slowly skating backwards”
I then get interrupted by my name being called. “Yesenia Cervantes?”
Not knowing where the sound came from I turn my head to my right, I don’t see anything but a coffee stand. When I turn to my left, in the farther left hand side of the room I see an elderly woman. Looking to be late 60’s her dainty body walks over to me, giving me a grin. I put my hand out to shake hers, “I called earlier asking about any volunteer opportunities and a lady named Harlow on the phone said I should come in person to speak with someone”
I can see everyone turning to look at me, the mothers in the lobby whisper to themselves, probably wondering how a woman of my ethnicity can skate on the ice. She motions me with her hands to follow her in the clear glass office space.  “Well that’s my assistant but she’s not in right now but I'm happy you stopped by...I'm Daisy”
After we got settled into our seats, I quickly put my phone on silent. Ms. Daisy is sitting in the cherry red office chair reading my references out loud, she pauses when she gets to my education. She purses her lips, “So what college?” she asks as she reaches on her desk for her reading glasses, placing them on her face.
I proudly say, “University Of Wisconsin-Madison...Junior”
She nods while placing my information down she grabs a manila folder from her filing cabinet, licking her finger to separate the pages sitting back down. “Ok, well I'm just going to ask you a few questions-”
We both get interrupted by a freckled face red head child, her hair in a really neat bun. She runs to the desk where me and the older woman sat, placing her arms around the woman. “Ms. Daisy!!”
Ms. Daisy’s eyes light up when she sees the tiny human cling onto her scrawny limb.“Oh hey Adalynn!! How are you doing today?”
The young child with 2 teeth missing on the bottom row of her mouth showed a toothy grin. “I doing spec….spec-”
I finish her sentence, “Spectacular?”
Adalynn and her beautiful tawny brown eyes had to suppress the anger she had with a huff, her tiny lips form a pout as she points her index finger at me. “She wouldn’t let me finish but that’s what I was gonna say”
Again we were interrupted by an elderly woman, her jet black hair was slicked back into a tight bun just like the little girl who ran in here 3 minutes ago. Unbidden, her gaze rose to the scene before her, staring at me. Her face contorted into a mask of hatred as her lips formed a straight line. She slowly shifts her eyes glaring at Adalynn, “Adalynn you know you shouldn't be going in people's offices unannounced...oh I'm sorry were we interrupting something?”
“Well I'm with a potential volunteer” I explained.
“Oh you skate?” She questions, raising her eyebrow. Bending down to Adalynn’s level she whispers something in her ear. Whatever it was; she must’ve been wanting to punish the child because a few seconds later Adalynn was away from Ms. Daisy and her desk.
I nod my head, straightening up in my seat. “Yes ma’am I do”
Ms. Daisy then interrupts, “How many years?”
“4” I reply back, I think about all of the medals I have won over the years of skating. My mother taught me to love the ice when I was a little girl, I would spend hours outside. I would be standing at the bus stop waiting for the school bus when me and a couple of the other kids would use our shoes as ice skates just sliding around on the street. She spent her whole paycheck just to get me ice skates, it was because of her pushing me to do something I loved; I continued to pursue it throughout the years.
“Oh...wow that's a long time” Natasia stammered, blinking a few times and giving me a forced smile. She reaches for the child’s hand; once their hands were connected, her feet turn to the exit bringing Adalynn with her. “Come Adalynn we need to get you stretched and ready for your lesson”
Adalynn, who was currently trying to keep up with the pace of her grandmother  turns her head and waves at Ms. Daisy. “Bye!!”
Ms. Daisy stands up and walks back over to the office door closing it, while walking back to her desk she shakes her head. Her eyes closed briefly as she whispers something to herself. She then looks in my direction. “Sorry we were interrupted….so you said 4 years?”
I nod “Yes that’s right”
“So about your previous experience…”
My mind goes elsewhere as I bite the inside of my cheek hoping this interview would soon be over but I could tell she was just getting started. I look up at the clock as I see the minute hand moving slowly around the case and past the various numbers.
This is going to be a long interview.
¤ ¤ ¤
Walking past the various buildings where all of the current students at UW were attending, I venture on to the common grounds of my campus. Spotting my group of friends who were currently stuffing their faces with the food from the cafe. The cold crisp air fills my lungs as I walk over to them.
Henry with his cigarette resting on his ear was going on one of his rants as usual, I give him a nod as I walk up to them taking a seat next to Nova. “Hanging out is dating, that's what dating is now”
My other friend Obasi chuckles, his eyes green like an emerald peered over at Nova. “Dating is sweat palms, hot thighs”
Violet who was currently eating a chicken salad, rolls her eyes at the two men. “You guys are crazy”
Henry continues “Couples are a dead concept, all meaningful social interactions are meaningful in a group” While fishing in his pocket for his lighter, Nova stood up grabbing it off the the icy ground where it lay for probably the whole time they were out here. She uses her thumb to roll the metal spark wheel; a flame rises up from the black lighter.
“Your always dropping that damn thing” She grumbles.
Kissing his teeth he grabs the cigarette behind his ear, putting the piece of tobacco up close to the flame. “Yesenia you think this is a date?”
I chuckle, seeing there was no money in my wallet I look over at the cafe and turn back around to face him. “You paying for my lunch?”
Exhaling the smoke he winks, placing his right hand on my thigh. “I don't know….am I gonna score later?”
I start to laugh out loud while pushing his hands which were covered in paint away from my leg. “What? This is only our first date!”
With the snow cleared from the sidewalk thanks to the city of Madison. Wesley and his hover board came rushing in, he was coming pretty fast and he lost his balance, his books/papers flew everywhere. After laying in the snow laughing at himself he jumps up, his knees now wet with snow from the fall. Nova and I help gather all of his papers as he grabs peanut butter crackers from an picnic table which happens to be near us, tearing the snack open he stuffs 2 crackers in his mouth,  “Don't you just love college...free friends...free food, hell you even get a bed and all you have to do is go to a couple of classes and do some papers”
Violet while chipping at her nail polish gives Wesley a thumbs up, “It looks like your financial aid went through”
Giving Obasi a high-five he grabs his books from off the ground and sets them on table. “Damn right it did, full-ride baby”
This caught my attention, I never got a letter in mail about anything dealing with my financial aid yet. “Wait did everyone get theirs?”
I notice everyone’s eyes are on me, they all look dumbfounded by my comment, Nova speaks up, “Of course...papers went out like 2 weeks ago”
I let out a huff while reaching in my bag to get my phone out I start to text my mom to find out if there was anything in the mail for me. “What?”
 Placing my free hand on my forehead I tuck my hair behind my ear, pinching my eyes shut. I know I filled the application out 1 month ago, I then start to get irritated with that fact that my mother wasn't replying fast enough. I go to my student email account not seeing any new messages I decide to find out what happening for myself. I know the financial office is still open, I tell everyone a quick goodbye when I sprint towards the building.
Once inside I’m met with a student who was working at the front desk, she told me to fill out the sign in sheet and wait for my name to be called. It was a numerous amount of people sitting or standing in the waiting room to also be called. I see a woman who looks middle aged, carrying a small infant in her lap. I smile at the tiny human, admiring its hazel eyes; the child babbles at me while reaching its hand out.
After about a hour of waiting and the room is damn near empty I hear my name be called. Looking up I see my financial adviser, we walk to his office and when he shuts the door he explains to me about how his office never received my application.
I place both hands on the desk gripping the sides while glaring down at him, “You can't just stop my aid, I'm graduating next year!”
“I'm sorry-”
I slam my hands on the desk, “You need to give me my money!! I'm not going to just sit here and let this happen to me just because some stupid idiot lost my application”
Shaking his head does his best to calm me down, grabbing me a water bottle from his mini fridge. Turning around to his filing cabinet he looks for my name but doesn't see anything, As he turns back around and faces me, his mouth curves into a frown.  “Listen Yesenia I'm sure this will all work out the way it should...there must be some other way that you can pay for school”
I scoff taking a deep breath in and back out, taking my phone back out I start to check my messages I say lowly to myself, “Yeah right….only a miracle could make that happen.”
¤ ¤ ¤
I was placing the acrylic fake nail on my middle finger when I hear running from the outside of my dorm room door. I hear the little beep that occurs when someone is coming in. My hair in a messy ponytail I could feel a few tendrils that don't want to stay put fall onto my shoulders.
“I got a 911, girl what is going on?” Nova came running towards me, the her ROTC uniform still on.
I continued to press the fake nail on top of mine, with a frown etched on my face. “I might not be here for graduation”
Nova who took off her cover placing it on her side of the room walks back over to me, resting her chin on my head she asks, “What? Why?”
“My financial aid didn't kick in” I look up at her, almost on the verge of tears. “Now I have no idea how to pay for school”
“Eggs” Nova answered bluntly.
I take my right hand wiping away a non-existent tear, I sniffle a little before repeating what she just said to me. “Eggs?”
She nods taking her hand and placing it near my stomach, motioning around my lower half, “Yes like your eggs”
Now I understand what she’s talking about but I thought that was just myth. I press the acrylic nail hard on my nail making sure it's secure, I turn around in my swivel chair away from my desk. Quipped a brow as I look up at Nova, “People pay money for other people's eggs?”
Nova, stepping back from me; grips the edge of the chair rolling her neck replies, “Hell yeah…do you know how many people want babies?”
“So you basically sold kids?”
“Yesenia it's not human trafficking, they are just eggs” She continues. “The money is good plus the feeling you get after looking at the parents faces well that's even better
“Do you know a place?” I ask, I start to paint my nails.
“Yeah I do, but you could also do the other thing…” She trails off while walking into our bathroom I see her grabbing a few makeup remover wipes.
That grabs my attention,“What other thing?”
“Surrogacy”
I turn up my nose, “Like carrying someone else's baby?”
Nova walking out the bathroom changing out of her uniform, “You make more money doing that.”
I mumble while placing the nail polish brush back into the bottle, “I'll think about it”
Nova turns to me, “But if you want to know the place is called Gifting Miracles”
“Thanks” I rise up from the chair, my wet nail polish still on my hands I give Nova a quick air hug.
Rubbing my arm she offered a radiant smile, “Hey you know I got you girl”
Maybe carrying a baby wouldn't be so bad.
A/N: I know this was a really long first chapter but I just wanted this first chapter to be very informative on my different characters. I don’t exactly know when the next chapter of this will be up but I appreciate if ya’ll would be patient with me. Also Happy New year my lovely angels!!! I know 2019 will be filled with happiness and more opportunities coming your way!

I know ;n; all of my photos broke a few weeks ago (including all 140+ of my download page photos) so I had to change the links of the images from imgur to tumblr and it was a huge mess. I’m not happy with my current resource page so I am planning on redoing it eventually.

Anonymous said: So I just watched your speed mesh video and found myself wondering, what is the purpose of using edge split? I'm currently learning blender and though I've googled for various explanations, I'm unsure of what it achieves in terms of TS4 meshing.
sometimes when you remove doubles from the entire mesh, it makes weird shadows (you can see them in solid mode) that are super dark. Edge splitting gets rid of them without causing a seam to show in the mesh

Anonymous said: hope this doesn’t sound rude, but why don’t you just release all the hair? I don’t know much about making custom content but it looks to me as if they’re finished, but I could be completely wrong of course. I was basically just wondering why you choose to do it this way if you don’t mind me asking :-)
I am trying to make sure I have enough to release if college gets super busy and releasing 3 a month is enough to have a pretty good amount of 36 hairs a year. Wasn’t a rude question at all btw :P

Meet The Writer Tag Game
@thatsmybluefondue tagged me for this fun thing, thank you so much :D
Rules: Answer the 10 questions, write 10 questions, then tag 10 people.
1. Your main character is designing their own Dream House. What does it look like?
I’m terrible at describing things so im just going to gloss over it oops~ instead of quality content i will bring you quantity
Clara I think is torn between wanting a cute little cottage in the woods like the ones you’d expect to find in fairy tales, and a massive house complete with a secret library room. So she’d design both because why not?
Callisto is content to live in a very normal house as long as it’s clean and comfortable. She’s a rich girl who didn’t really want to be rich, and after having lived in a massive mansion her entire life, she would design something smaller and more home-y.
Jess would design a futuristic mansion with an elaborate underground bunker. Nothing but the newest and most cutting-edge home for her, and since she gets into a lot of trouble, the underground bunker would be her safehouse. Plus, underground bunker is super badass.
2. What is the weirdest thing that has ever inspired a WIP?
Honestly I don’t have a whole lot of WIP ideas and the inspirations for most of them have been fairly not weird. Maybe like...the time I was inspired to write a poem based off of a really aesthetic picture I took of a fallen ice cream cone.
Morsmordre origins is one of my favorites but.. that’s a story for another day ;)
3. Which character in your current WIP is the most fun to write, and why?
I really love writing for Clara in Morsmordre! She’s one of those characters that mostly writes herself and that means I have less thinking to do which is nice. She’s so fun to write because she’s so highly strung and dramatic! She takes everything really seriously and overreacts — it makes her perception of the world really stressful but also really interesting. Bonus points for her best friend Caerwyn who is equally dramatic and they feed off of each other’s energy.
Honorable mentions to Blake (Post-Script and For Queen and Country) and Jess (Wanderlust) for being such fun heroines to write for!
4. Choose an 80s song for your main character(s) theme song!
Clara: What’s Love Got to Do with It by Tina Turner
Callisto: Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper
Jess: You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi
Aiden: I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight by Cutting Crew
5. The characters in your current WIP are in high school. Who gets voted “Most Popular/Most Likely to End up In Jail/Friendliest” etc?
Clara: Most likely to get married immediately after graduation.
Callisto: Most likely to take over the world.
Jess: Most likely to be a stripper.
Aiden: Most likely to win the lottery and lose the ticket.
6. Tell us a place in the world that you desperately want to visit, and why.
I am dying to visit Bora Bora! I’ve already decided on it as a dream honeymoon destination. I’ve always dreamed of going to a tropical island for a nice leisurely vacation right on the beach. I just want to go swimming, stay in a nice place and live the good life under the sun.
7. What is the absolute trashiest TV show that you’ve ever watched?
Bridezillas is my guilty pleasure. It is SO trashy and bad, and just makes fun of people spiraling out of control but I cannot stop watching it. 
8. Hollywood comes knocking, wanting to put your life story on the big screen. Who’s cast to play you? What about your nemesis/love interest?
I would love it if Satomi Ishihara would play me! She’s one of my favorite Japanese actresses, and I’d throw a fit if the casted actress isn’t culturally appropriate.
And as for love interest... I’ve completely blanked on every single celebrity crush I’ve ever had. I have no idea who I would cast as my nemesis or love interest! Send me potential people to cast, I need your help!
9. Favorite flower(s) and why?
I love me some roses because I am a starry-eyed maiden at heart. It’s just the classic romantic flower, and I’m a sucker for traditions and cheesy romantic cliches like that. 
Hydrangeas are also a favorite because I used to spend my summers in Japan with my family — the Japanese hydrangeas are beautiful in the summer rain, and we used to go to a massive hydrangea hill near my grandmother’s house. I love them because that’s the memory I associate with them!
Wisterias are also super beautiful! I really like them because they’re the motif of my family crest.
Other flowers I like include Lily of the Valley, Baby’s Breath, and Snowdrops! I love a lot of flowers. I also love flower symbolism and have done extensive research into them — one time I had a character that described everyone she knew as flowers!
10. Is there a genre that you’d love to break into in the future?
Mysteries!! I’ve written a comedic mystery play once but it doesn’t really count. My current dream WIP that I want to write someday is an intriguing mystery that keeps people guessing and is really hard to put together but can also ultimately be figured out if the reader pays enough attention. And it has a sequel that tells the same story from a different perspective, and that sheds an entirely new light onto the first, original mystery book and really changes things!
TAGGING: @autofoebia @decantae @the-mermaid-typist @souliloquyyy​ @bexminx @necros-writings @hell-yeah-writing @esoteric-eclectic-eccentric @drowsy-quill @rosecorcoranwrites feel free to do this or not, absolutely no pressure!
And whoever wants to do this, I’m tagging you too!
