A Writer’s Ask Game

11.  Books and/or authors who influenced you the most

27.  Favourite line/scene

32.  Most difficult character to write.

38.  Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had

Thanks for asking, @hotpinkmurex!

11.  Books and/or authors who influenced you the most

Tough one, because there's a lot of answers...

Anne McCaffrey was the first fantasy/sci fi I ever read, and as such, had a lot of sway over my brain for a bit. I even wrote a thesis style paper on Pern in HS and corresponded with her about the books. The first fan fiction I ever 'wrote' were self insert fantasies of Pern and dragons and fire lizards that I made in my head endlessly.

Then there's Robin McKinley, Tanya Huff, Terry Pratchett, and most recently, T. Kingfisher/Ursula Vernon. They influence my sense of humor in my writing, my love of offbeat and reluctant heros, lovable anti-heroes, turning tropes upside down, witty banter, and more. I've read and re-read many of their books over the years.

27.  Favourite line/scene

Another toughie, because SO MANY possibilities. But, keeping on my theme of late, I'm going to pick an SoC scene, and go with the Geldrenner bathroom Kanej scene. SO much happens there. So many emotions, exposition, and things of import for the characters. It's visceral punch in the feels. I've re-read it multiple times and it never ceases to pack that punch.

32.  Most difficult character to write.

Of the ones I write POV's for regularly, probably Jesper. It takes me a bit to settle into the chaos of his mind so I can portray it accurately. Of my OC's that I had written recently, I did section for Zurye, and I am still not sure if I have found her voice completely.

38.  Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had

Less a weird full fledged story idea, and more just an amusing note that has been sitting in my ideas section for a bit. Not sure if I will use it in a story somewhere.

"At some point, Inej notices all three men have freckles, and she’s tickled pink by this." Referencing Kaz, Jesper, and Wylan.

6. Are there any aspects of a character or plot that you wished had been delved into more in the duology?

31. What moments made you freak out (in a happy or sad way) the most?

55. What did you take away from reading the duology? Has reading it been impactful to you in any particular way?

🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

6. I answered this one the other day , but if I had to pick another I'd say that Dunyasha's backstory is facinating to me and I'd love to know more about the crazy mercinary cult she came from and how they could connect with the rest of the Grishaverse.

31. Nina finding the room with the drain in the Ice Court. Kaz regurgitating lock picks (and Kaz being unhinged and borderline feral in general) in both books. JVE's speech at the end of soc. Kaz and Wylan falling through the ceiling in ck (and Kaz getting covered in gravy). The entirety of chapter 14 of ck with Wylan's back story and the trip to Saint Hilde's. Chapter 31 of ck where wylan gets taken/tortured for information. Jesper making the shot at the end of ck. So many more, the list really does go on.

55. This question is impossible actually because there are so many ways these books were impactful to me that I’m overwhelmed trying to narrow it down. Both the books and the show inspired me to write again and were the catalyst for making so many friends over on the wesper server, and tbh I’m not sure how I’d have gotten through last year without that. I’d say also the queer, disability, and neurodiversity representation was really refreshing and low key kind of revolutionary to see so openly portrayed after years of feeling like I was only able to live in the subtext of my favorite media.

Specifically for the books themselves though I think one big take away is that, whether you’ve found them yet or not, there are people out there who will accept you for who you are, and they will love you both in spite and because of your percieved flaws. Also that healing is not a linear or solitary process.

@grishatober 2020 DAY 04: Canon Ships - HELNIK (Little note: In my headcanons, the Queen’s Garden is a huge park in Ravka Nikolai built in honor to his wife. Zoya, of course.) Can also find on Ao3 here

LITTLE RUBY BIRD  A few things in the world brought a wonderful sense of peace and calm like sitting in the Queen's Garden, near to the lake shore. Three large towels laid on the grass. Nina was picking her third waffle from the wicker basket next to her, a satisfied smile on her lips. She let her little Aenya, who was sitting on her lap, take a bite, kissing her plump cheek and cleaning the syrup on her mouth with a napkin. Some crumbles fell on the red gown of her dress, but Nina didn’t mind it and bit the waffle with a delighted expression on her face. Djel, what an enchanting vision... Matthias was lying on his side, his chin rested on his hand. He was totally unable to look away, he could literally spend hours staring at his beloved wife. It didn't matter what she was doing or what she was wearing. She was always the most stunning, beautiful, amazing woman on earth to him. And when Aenya's incredible cuteness was added to the entire portrait, well, his heart started to melt and rebuild and melt again thousand time. On the towels, Kuwei and Wylan were enjoying some waffles too, while Inej and Jesper were playing with Trass and Kaz was reading a book, occasionally raising his glance to admire the young Suli's smile. Yes, it was a beautiful day, the Fjerdan thought, the ideal day to spend with their family and... to take the occasion to venerate his wife with a present he bought a week before. Matthias exchanged a quick glance with each of their friends, then, he slowly put out of his pocket a little, oval box. He smiled, turning his head to Nina, he couldn't wait to call her and see her surprised reaction... and then... everything happened in the matter of a few seconds. Trassel ran to him, barking happily, his fangs caught the little box, taking it away from the young man's hand. “No! Trass, no, come back here!” Nina widened her green eyes, visibly confused, as her husband and their friends suddenly started to chase the large, white wolf, yelling him to stop. “Trass!” The animal turned around, folding his front legs, a playful growl from his throat. Inej reached him and pretended to hug him but, when she tried to move her hand towards his mouth, Trassel freed himself from her grip with a jump, making her fall on the grass. Completely deaf to Kaz's curses and insults, Trass approached Wylan, letting his fingers go close to the new toy into his mouth, then, he made him fall too, running between his legs. “Trass, stop!” Matthias didn't feel brave enough to pay attention to the reactions of people around them, he just wanted to lay down and cry. It was since he bought Nina that present he couldn't wait to give it to her and now he risked to see it ruined or lost. He saw Kuwei running stealthily behind a tree, so he and Jesper started to distract the wolf with weird movements and silly calls. “Hey, Trassie! We're here! We're going to throw you the toy!” “No take, only throw, right, Trassie?” Trassel made a couple of festive jumps, clearly appreciating all those attentions, but a terrified thrill ran down Matthias' back when the animal started to shake his head, growling. “He's going to damage the present!” the Fjerdan thought, desperation growing into his chest. Kuwei slowly came out from his hiding place, behind Trass. Before the creature could realise it, the young scientist grabbed him, his arms around the wolf's waist. Matthias and Jesper immediately went to help him and, finally, the blonde giant was able to take the box from Trassel's mouth. The animal freed himself again, barking and looking at his human mate, filled with expectations. “No, Trass. I won't throw this” the young man said. He felt a bit guilty and saddened, thinking he would have disappointed his beloved wolf, but, luckily, Inej reached them with a stick in her hand. “Hey, Trass, look at this!” With everyone's huge relief, Trassel's attention went to the new toy. Inej threw the stick and he quickly ran after it, catching it in mid air and shaking his head, growling. “Thank you guys...” Matthias sighed. “Luckily, the box seems to be in good conditions... just a bit wet...” He walked to the lake shore, immersed the little box into the water, cleaning it, and, when he walked back to the towels, Nina was still laughing, her full cheeks bright red, holding Aenya close to her soft chest. How beautiful she was... “Saints!” she said, trying to regularize her breath. “It has been one of the most memorable scenes ever!” “Glad you enjoyed it,” Kaz grunted, sitting down. “It wasn't the same for us.” “Hush, Mr Grumpy” Inej whispered him softly, hugging him from behind and resting her head against his shoulder. Matthias sat next to his wife, a timid smile on his face: “I'm sorry, love... I... I wanted to give you this, but...” “A present for me?” Her beautiful smile widened: “Look, Aeny, papa has a surprise for mama! Guys, did you know it?” “We actually helped him to choose it” Jesper laughed. “Well, now I understand why you have acted so weird since this morning...” She let Wylan take Aenya in his arms, then, she took the little box Matthias was handing her and she opened it. Her jaw dropped and she let a delighted gasp out: into the box, there was a beautiful necklace, with a bird shaped ruby pendant. “I love it” she whispered, blessing her husband with the brightest of her smiles. She exposed her neck, keeping her hair up. Matthias tried to tie the necklace, but his huge hands were trembling and... Djel, how was he supposed to coordinate his movements, when she was looking at him in that way... “My...  my fingers are too big...” he murmured, blushing. “I cannot...” “Wait, I'll help you.” Kuwei laughed, kneeling behind Nina and rapidly fixing the problem. Matthias opened his mouth to thank him again, when the young woman wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his. His thought became fog, as he held her closer, his hands rubbing her back and her soft hips. “I love you” she whispered. “I love you so much. Thank you for the present, it's beautiful.” The Fjerdan tried to reply something, when Trassel walked onto the towels, pressing his head against his human friend's arm. He still had the stick Inej threw him into his mouth and he looked Matthias with playful eyes. Everyone let a giggle out. “Okay, Trass, okay,” the giant said, smiling. “No take. Only throw.”

here’s our take

[aspd-culture]

Hi all, welcome to ASPD-Culture. You can find the DSM-V TR's diagnostic criteria for ASPD at the bottom of this post.

Here's how it works! You can use asks or submissions (on or off anon, asks allow for anon while submissions don't for those who don't know), to submit things you either are struggling with as someone with ASPD, or that you think others with ASPD would find relatable. These can be serious, meme-y, or somewhere in-between. It's ok if it applies to other disorders too, as long as it relates to antisocial personality disorder/the symptoms and associated traits of ASPD.

Send as many ask you like, I am not afraid of a full inbox. Do not feel like you're bugging me; I thrive on the attention and validation of the inbox full of asks. 😈

I welcome questions, vents, confessions, and personal submissions as well as more general ones! I cannot accept anything that would cause anyone legal trouble to say anonymously or otherwise, and please no names unless they are fictional/celebrities; you can use the first letter if you want tho!

Please note that fakeclaiming/ableism against "edgy teens" is not welcome here. This blog is pro well-researched self dx, and is not interested in guessing who may/may not be faking. Submissions will be taken in the good-faith assumption that you are being legitimate.

That said, ableist submissions will be removed and not posted. Waste your time if you want, *shrug*. Also, this blog is not the place for nt people or people with other disorders to complain about ASPD, though they *are* welcome to submit questions/asks in good faith as long as you aren't complaining about pwASPD or intentionally being ableist. If you aren't sure if something is ableist, you're welcome to ask my opinion on that, though I'm only one pwASPD so I'm not an authority. People with ASPD are welcome to vent frustrations about their own disorder, as well as how having ASPD may cause conflict with others with this/other disorders and/or frustrations about dealing with pwoASPD as someone who has it. We have to mask our frustrations with prosocials everywhere else in life - please feel free to be open about them here. Prosocials please try not to feel attacked by these, they're just vents likely being used to make sure we don't say anything hurtful irl.

Being that ASPD can have violent thoughts as a symptom, non-targetted posts about violent thoughts are ok, and will be posted with appropriate tws. If I miss any tw, please let me know and I will add it asap. Because of this, you don't need to add tws in the submissions unless you want to. That said, please be aware of the type of text-based content you may see on this blog. It's ok to block, unfollow, etc if you need to. Words like ps**hopath and soc**path may or may not be censored, but they will be tw tagged (tw psychopath and tw sociopath respectively, as well as tw aspd stigma), so if you reclaim those terms that's ok, but be aware I will tw them.

I think that about sums it up! Ask/submit away!

A quick shoutout - I was inspired by @cluster-b-culture-is because I love their content, but I found myself wishing there was one just for ASPD especially with the recent rise of acceptance for BPD but not the other cluster b's (to be clear tho, cluster-b-culture-is does not support stigma against any sort of elitism within the community, and is a great blog that you should follow if you like their content!).

Edit: Here is the diagnostic criteria for ASPD as of the most current DSM (DSM-V TR), quoted directly. Please note there are diagnostic features, development "criteria" (things that cause the disorder to develop), and presentation/associated features to think about as well. You cannot diagnose solely off of having 3/7 of the following criteria, but 3/7 is all you need in combination with meeting the other stuff to have ASPD. This should help steer away ableist additions that people constantly try to make to the criteria.
