Plans coming to fruition... Maybe soon he won't be so bored...

You know, I don't think I'll ever get used to Dutch's constant two-faced behaviour.

One minute you're coming back to camp and then getting an earful from Dutch about not bringing in enough money, then the next minute he'll greet you and say how he missed you and asks what you've been up to as soon as you walk into camp.

On a bad day, you're the person who's going to betray Dutch in the end. Then on a good day, you're his favourite son who's always been special to him.

The camp gives Arthur grief for his 'moods' but the others didn't seem to comment on Dutch's camp behaviour in the same way, even in the early chapters.

What’s your favorite fic by theashemarie? I want to read her stuff, but I’m so intimidated by how much there is!! Where do I start?

OH ANON HOW I’VE BEEN DYING TO ANSWER THIS ONE!!!!

You’ve opened up THE can of worms my good fellow…

I am so sorry for the person i’m about to become

I’ve actually spent the last couple days making a simplified compilation of Ashe’s works, to make it easier for new readers to visualize them.

It’s the reason why it has taken me some time to answer this haha.

As for my favourite fic…. That’s such an insanely hard question to answer T_T

I’ll put the compilation & my thoughts under the cut to minimize dashboard noise.

(Disclaimer: i’m not a writer so some of the terms I use are from my loose understanding of literature!)

Warning for rambling ahead!!

I tried to make the fomatting as straightforward as possible! If there are any other questions you can drop a comment :)

As for the fav fic stuff:

I don’t think I can have a hard singular favourite of Ashe’s fics, because they’re all different and encompass different themes and vibes and ideas, and fuck man they’re just so good. Ashe has a masters degree in writing and it SHOWS, but also just her writing style & way of developing stories.. it’s so captivating, rich and thoughtful. I love analyzing their work & being rewarded with the amount of detail and effort that is put into it.

Here’s a couple that fucked me up particularly good though, if you must know:

LDR AU | Meet Me on the Rink | And Take Off Your Mask | Simulacrum | Language Barrier

At least two of these majorly impacted my life & mean a whole lot to me because of the themes, topics and characterization in them.

I think one of my favourite things about Ashe’s works is how visceral and raw and real they feel while you read ‘em. There’s a real strong focus on the plot, which makes for a fantastic build up throughout the story. There’s also emphasis on characterization, and by the gods it’s deliciously crafted. The direct and indirect ways in which Ashe portrays the personalities, flaws and motivations of characters… MAN.

A lot of people read fics for a quick hit of fluff or angst, so plot-heavy, meaty fics with a lot of undertones and somewhat unconventional themes can be very different from typical expectations.

Still, I stand by the fact that it’s exactly because of this that Ashe’s work is so refreshing and fascinating to read through, and I strongly encourage everyone to give it a try, especially if you like Off the Hook.

She also has a lot of oneshots and shorter stories that I listed above, if longer ones feel daunting. They’re just as good!!

I’m really grateful that they share all of this work online; creating entails a lot of work, whether it be art, writing, cosplay, etc.

Posting it for free on top of that??? I think we need to appreciate our fic writers more, honestly. They’re a huge pillar in fandom spaces that often goes unnoticed.

That’s my little ramble on the topic, thank you for reading if you went this far!

I hope this helps Anon, and if you need more pointers or thoughts you can hit me up again.

With all that said, big shout out to @theashemarie , this is my big propaganda post for you all to follow her and/or check out their work, and leave her a comment if you enjoy the fics!! I know they appreciate them a lot :)

I doodled a Javert during class and my friend (who doesn't know the charachter at all) said to me ''you know what he needs?'' and then drew the dog on the right side of the paper.

When i saw what she was doing i was smiling because it fits perfectly and she drew it without knowing that. It was so fun

She also said something about ''he's beating off women with his stick'' wich I thought very funny aswell

My halloween costume this year, dressed up as the scariest thing I could think of (one of the popular girls from my school)

sigh… sigh…

[kayak-lmao]

I tried :']

[zannolin]

most of the time it's mildly annoying to be someone with multiple crafting abilities because i have too many projects and zero excuse not to make everything i come up with because i have the ability to do so, but also it's really REALLY funny when i get to whip out one skill or another around people who know me for one thing and assume that's all i can do. like oh, you thought i just wrote prose? NO. i do poetry too! and i don't just write, I DRAW. and i don't just draw, I EMBROIDER. and i don't just embroider, i CROCHET. and i don't just crochet, i PLAY PIANO. and i don't just play p

thinking about the anon i got once that was trying to be transphobic and said that my hands don't look he/him

Update on my party's Ninjago D&D campaign: Kai got knocked out by fire like five minutes after he was introduced.

I just realised I completely forgot to show my finished Arthur cosplay so here!!

You can find the process of me making the hat here! Everything including the hat and the materials was purchased second hand and using things I already had (the rope, jeans, journal, neckerchief, etc) so it's a very budget cosplay but I think it turned out well! The total came to about £45, there's receipts here if you're interested <3

yesterday i spent like 10 minutes on the floor picking a sticker off the cover of a book and when i finally got it off and zoned back into reality i realized it was a book abt ocd. the symbolism is very heavy handed these days

[titsthedamnseason]

when she was transitioning into ttpd and the stage was all golden someone on the livestream commented “christmas tree farm?”

[bleh-bleh-blehs]

You know Percy was to real for this when he read Big Three Dogs instead of Gods

I mean he wasn’t wrong.
