re the WIP Ask Game, my main interest is of course Providence, but I don’t have any questions about it per se.

Just wanted to leave you a note here to say that fic has been on my mind a lot lately since playing Rebirth, and that at multiple points during my playthrough my brain went immediately to “omg this is giving me Providence vibes!!!” which honestly is a testament to the amazing handle you have on all those characters.

Honestly, any little anecdotal tidbit you’d like to share about that fic would water my crops haha, but if you can’t just want you to know I’ve enjoyed it immensely. The Fifth Act left me wanting MOAR and you took that verse and made it your own; I love it just as much.

Oh wow thank you! that's an amazing compliment <3333

I've had tons of fun with this wild AU-of-an-AU myself and I'm still not ready to give it up. All the real-life stuff aside, a big part of why I stopped updating Providence was because I ran into a really, really bad plot snarl. (Which is not uncommon for me tbh; the second-act swamp is REAL 😭 ) Essentially: too many characters pulling in too many different directions, and at the same time too many other characters snagged in place and holding others back.

But! the good news is that I finally - like, just a couple weeks ago - figured out how to untangle one of the plot threads, which has given me room to work on the rest. Wish me luck...! 🤞

WIP ask meme!

...okay and also just for fun, have a scene I wrote and then cut and which has a small chance of ending up back in the fic idk we'll see

The Seventh Heaven hummed with activity, its regular customers scattered around at their usual tables, while newcomers and unfamiliar faces surrounded the bar. Tifa worked the taps, wearing her usual black leather vest and skirt over shorts, her loose ponytail swinging as she moved with brisk efficiency. “Order for table six!” she called, and Cloud shouldered his way through the patrons to take the tray she handed him.

Table six was Barret, Cid, and Vincent, with Nanaki curled up underneath and pretending not to notice Marlene trying to catch the flame on his tail. “Busy tonight, eh?” Barret chuckled as Cloud dropped the tray off.

“Tifa’s the most popular girl in town,” Cloud answered. He glanced over his shoulder at her; in her ruffled teal sundress and matching high-heeled sandals, her hair flowing loose around her arms, she was the brightest person in all Nibelheim. She caught him looking and smiled shyly, then quickly went back to serving two young SOLDIER cadets Cloud vaguely remembered from basic training.

��That she is,” Cid agreed. “Speakin’ of, her pa wants to talk with you.” He pointed past Cloud’s other shoulder, to where Mr. Lockhart sat at a corner table with Cloud’s ma, Zangan the martial arts teacher, and Denzel. Ma waved cheerfully to Cloud, ignoring Mr. Lockhart’s scowl.

Ugh. Cloud didn’t want to piss off Tifa’s dad more than he usually did. “Better get going,” he said to Cid and the others, and hurried over to the corner table.

“About time,” Mr. Lockhart grumbled before Cloud could greet them. “You’re late, Cloud. You’re always too late.”

“I kept my promise,” Cloud said, forcing his voice to stay level. The clear glass mugs of mako on the table gleamed like poison; he had to look away as Denzel picked one up and took a long drink.

“Hah.” Mr. Lockhart slammed his own tankard onto the table hard enough that mako splashed everywhere. “You promised to take care of my daughter. Where is she now?”

“I did,” Cloud protested. “She’s in Nibelheim. Safe.”

No, that was wrong. Tifa was here, in the Sector Five slums, behind the bar in her white tank top and black miniskirt. Cloud glanced over to check, and Tifa flashed him a cheeky wink and a smile.

Mr. Lockhart, though, glared at him. “How many times have you left her behind?”

The words knocked the air from Cloud's lungs. “I didn’t mean to—” he gasped. “I never wanted—I’d give anything to—”

The building was suddenly too hot, smoke burning Cloud’s throat as he struggled to breathe. Flames roared behind the bar, eating into the rafters, dropping cinders into Cloud’s hair. Tifa’s wide-brimmed hat hung crookedly from its cord around her neck, and her fringed leather vest and skirt dripped with blood. “I guess that only works for real families,” she said, her voice tired and bitter over the snap of the flames.

This was wrong. Everything was wrong; Cloud had to get out of here. He reached for Ma and Denzel - except it wasn’t Denzel there, it was Cloud’s younger self. Cloud froze, and that was when Ma grabbed his arm, her fingers sharp as a Nibel dragon’s claws. “I won’t let you take him,” she snapped. Hatred twisted her face as she shoved him away. “Get out of my sight!”

Cloud staggered backward. Something cold bit into his chest, slid through his lungs, and he looked down to see Masamune’s blade jutting from his ribs, red with Cloud’s blood. He tried to struggle, tried to escape, but Sephiroth’s voice whispered in his ear, You’re nothing but an empty puppet.

Cloud flailed, gasping—

—and suddenly the burning Seventh Heaven vanished.

Comfort - Remy POV Fic (Queen of Thieves)

“Hey, I wanna ask for a Remy angst. Are you allowed to write angst?”

I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to write this for you, life’s just been a bit crazy between work and studying lately, and it’s so annoying because I’ve had some really nice requests that I’m excited to write for people, but I just haven’t had any time to work on them! Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this @ilovewritingfics 💕

Notes: although it’s written from Remy’s POV (I’ve never written a POV before for anything!), the fic is set in Nikolai’s route, which sounds weird, but you’ll see what I mean. No specific TWs for the fic, it covers Nikolai’s trauma surrounding his family, so if you aren’t up to date and don’t want a spoiler on that, or if it’s upsetting to you, consider giving this one a miss.

Word Count 2100

I want to credit my lovely friend @stopforamoment for her suggestion on the topic for this short fic - thank you lovely.

—-

[MORE] [[MORE]]

Dinner Club. One of my favourite things we do together. Every member of The Gilded Poppy is different and everyone has their own interests, of course. But this is something we can all enjoy, and I love this family time so much: everyone laughing, sharing food, telling stories, teasing each other... It’s always such fun to be part of this, and after a successful heist, it’s even better!

After all, tonight we have a beautiful vintage fencing sword in our possession! I know, it’s part of a much larger plan, but for tonight at least, stealing it has made Niko really happy, and that makes me happy. He’s sitting at the end of the table with a glint in his eye, listening to Daisy and Leon chatter joyfully about the (I must say, very predictable) ‘twist’ at the end of some romance novel. It’s a glint that I’ve seen a lot since Daisy joined our (very attractive) crime family. I smile to myself as I watch how her cheeks colour so prettily when she notices his eyes fixed on her, like she’s the only person in the room. It’s been a long time since I’ve saw Niko’s interest pique the way it does when she’s close by, if ever, actually. The energy between them, it’s something quite unique: special. She’s a match for him in ways I’ve never seen before, and the challenge is good for him. It’s like she set off a spark in him and all of the wonderful things that make him Niko, are just ‘more’ with her around. I watch them play their game - anticipation, flirtation, power and control - I’m well-versed in ‘love’ and seduction (some would say ‘a master’) but this something else: it’s not part of a con, not something ‘to get out of your system’... I only hope Daisy doesn’t tire of it, because I’ve never seen someone get the better of Nikolai Stirling the way she can.

I lean forward skewering something delicious from the sharing platter in front of me, popping it into my mouth, laughing along to the friendly debate Zoe, Jett and Vivienne are having. Vivienne’s losing her argument and is trying to convince me to fight her corner, but I’m too preoccupied with how I could use my conman charms to ‘gently persuade’ my best friend and Daisy to forget who is winning their mindgames and push them closer together. Niko will hate me meddling, but it’s for his own good! Maybe tomorrow I can-

My plotting is abruptly ended as the waiter heading to a table behind us is jostled by a man who tries to squeeze past him in a space that’s too narrow. It’s like the world slows down... I can see what’s unfolding, but I’m powerless: I have no time, no way of stopping it. The waiter loses his footing, one arm flailing. I’m holding my breath! He recovers (barely) without falling over, but not before the glass of Amarone perched on his tray swirls and sloshes to one side, a crescendo of blood-red bursting free down the front of Nikolai’s crisp white shirt. The bold bouquet of fruit and spice hits my nose as deep red splatters bleed and seep across the fabric. Nikolai is frozen, complete horror etched across his face. Suddenly, all I can see is the scared fifteen year-old I befriended on the streets of Paris carrying a sick kitten.

The waiter has discarded his tray; he’s panicked and apologising to Nikolai, fumbling for a napkin to try to blot away the mess. Our friends have noticed, but before anyone else can react, I’m halfway across the table with the salt cellar slipped inside my pocket. I wrap one comforting arm around Niko, my other hand on the waiters arm, reassuring him (in flawless Italian, of course) that everything is under control and I’ll take it from here. Within seconds, I have Nikolai on his feet, gripping him close to me as I guide him towards the restroom: always moving forward. I keep my free arm across his chest, deliberately, to shield the stains from his sight; leaning in close, chattering to distract him. Anything I can do, anything to keep him walking until I can get him inside. He’s hyperventilating by the time we enter the plush restroom, and fortunately it’s empty.

“Niko? Breathe. Slowly. Come on.”

He’s still not responding, I gently put pressure on his shoulder, manoeuvring him onto an Art Deco-style chaise beside a large mirror. I crouch in front of him, cupping his face in my hands, offering comfort, speaking softly,

“It’s ok. I’m here. Your Remy’s got you. It’s going to be ok. You’re safe.”

It’s a mantra I repeat several times over while he trembles. Minutes feel much longer, but now his breathing is slowing and for the first time since the spillage, he makes eye contact with me. I’m so relieved! I nod and smile before I press a heartfelt kiss to his cheek. The worst has passed. He’s going to be ok.

I pause, taking just a few seconds to catch my own breath: getting him away from the table to a safe space, keeping him moving, it was all automatic, all done on instincts. But now, my mind races. I’m so glad this happened when I was at the table; would anyone else have been able to get him out the way I did? Would he have let anyone else lead him off like this? He looked so vulnerable just now, it breaks my heart to think of it...

‘Focus, Remy. Come on. You’re not done yet.’

I lean back, fingers shifting to his collar, offering him my most suggestive grin,

“Lose the shirt.”

Nikolai manages a weak laugh (I knew that would get him!) as his fingers move toward his buttons, I realise a second too late that his hands are shaking too much to undo them. He mutters a strangled apology and rakes a hand through his dark hair as I make short work of them, startled by just how hard his heart hammers inside his chest, even now, minutes after the incident. He shrugs his way out of the shirt and I take it to the counter, grabbing some paper towels to blot out the liquid before dumpling half of the stolen salt cellar onto the stain. Selecting an expensive-looking cologne from the selection provided, I head back to Niko, spritzing it around him as I go, trying to erase the lingering scent of the alcohol from his nostrils.

As I join him on the chaise, he clears his throat awkwardly, his usually crisp clear voice barely audible at all,

“Thank you.”

I bump my shoulder against his, still trying to lighten the mood,

“Pas de problème.”

He still looks like he’s met a ghost, and I can feel the seat vibrate under me from his agitated tapping foot. But at least he’s speaking to me: when things have happened before, things that have triggered horrible memories for him, sometimes it’s taken hours to get him to even look at me. The first time it happened, long before The Gilded Poppy existed, we were only street kids, sleeping rough and begging. I’ll never forget it as long as I’m alive. A group of men left a bar near where we were hoping to earn a few francs, one of them was worse for wear and fell to the ground, vomiting. It wasn’t until I turned to Niko, ready to make some sassy comment about how the drunk couldn’t hold his liquor or his wallet, that I realised something was very, very wrong. It took hours for him to come back around, and days to feel better afterwards... I didn’t have a very happy childhood, and I was forced to grow up quickly, but not in the same way as Niko. The things he suffered... I can’t help but put myself into his shoes, picturing my family around our small dinner table, my lovely old meme, my mother bringing food to the table, my father chatting to my young brother about school... How unreal it must have felt to Niko, how terrifying. I cannot begin to imagine: to watch your whole family die... And such a painful death... It’s little wonder it haunts him. I scrub my hand across my eyes trying to shake the sickening scene.

I clap my hand on Niko’s knee as I stand, heading back to check how the salt is working on his shirt: it may seem ridiculous, but a conman has to think fast, and you never know when a cleaning tip like this will be useful! Of course, the shirt is looking much better - now I just need to rinse it and dry it off. Almost done. I bustle around the washbasin, running the breast of Niko’s shirt under the piping water, rinsing away the salt, pink dye flowing down the drain, erasing tonight’s events. I hold it up to the lights, smiling as I do.

“I think the shirt will survive, Niko.”

I start the hand drier, just as I hear Niko murmur something, far too low for me to hear over the roar,

“What was that?”

I stop, making my way back across to the chaise, gesturing for Niko to repeat himself. He looks up at me with the saddest blue eyes,

“I never wanted her to see me, like, this. How can she...” His posture visibly stiffens, “She won’t respect me after this?”

I frown. Of course, he’s talking about Daisy. And something in his voice tells me that Daisy’s ‘respect’ isn’t the feeling he’s truly worried about, but while he’s shirtless in a restaurant bathroom really isn’t the best time for me to play Cupid... I try to tell Nikolai that Daisy is the last person who would think any less of him because of this, she is so lovely: surely he knows her well enough, to know that? Daisy is sensitive and kind: she would understand. But he’s still shaken and so agitated about what happened at the table, my honest words make no difference; his barricades are going up and he mutters that he doesn’t want her pity. I make a show of raising one eyebrow at him, and shaking my head before I march back to the hand drier. I love Niko dearly, but he can be so stubborn, it makes me crazy!

Ten minutes later, Niko is looking much more collected, and is back in his gleaming white shirt: I am a man of many talents, it’s true! He straightens himself up in front of the mirror as I watch on: it’s almost as though nothing ever happened. We exit the restroom and rejoin our friends. Everyone is wonderfully discrete: they pretend we never left the table. Niko doesn’t utter a single word for the rest of the evening. His expression is strained and he doesn’t touch a bite of his food - he’s going through the motions but I know he can’t wait for the evening to end. I chip in some delightful anecdotes to help keep the conversation flowing, but what happened tonight weighs heavily on me: what if this happened and I wasn’t here? What if something like this happened on a heist? What if I couldn’t get to him? What would we do? How could I keep my best friend safe? What if something went wrong and I wasn’t around anymore? Who else understands like me?

I meet Daisy’s big brown eyes over the table, concern is written across her face. She really cares for Niko, it’s so obvious. I wish he would let her in... Having someone else who loves you, an extra person in this world looking out for you, to rely on... She could be the best thing that ever happened to him. She could make him happy, I can see it all.

I make a silent promise to myself: they say that love will find a way? Well, it certainly will when Remy Chevalier helps it along.

The Mood: Blog #11 “WTF is next, ROSEDALE?!”

I've had so many random ideas for what this next blog should be about. I wanna try to stay on track with the story of Rosedale's farewell/next chapter as that seems to be the most common topic with the lovely Rosedaliens that have been coming out to shows. But the truth is that I'm just as unsure as everyone else. I don't even have a clear vision of what I picture September looking like. I guess my plan in September is to plan what 2019 is going to look like. 2019 seems so much further than it actually is, I'm sure. The only things I'm sure of are that I would like to: 1: be a helpful contribution to music scenes (artists, venues, promoters, fans etc.) using more than just my own voice. 2: keep making new music under a different name (using my voice ...maybe some features...maybe a band? Who knows. I'd love for someone else to decide that.) 3: continue to work with other artists on their art and ideas. I know those are all vague ideas. And regarding the name delema; I have a giant draft email to myself (the most common email address in my inbox is [email protected]) that has a bunch of artist names and band names. Some are pretty good, some are not.

Self-Lyric Party:

" 'cause I live entirely for the self-satisfaction that I made this- I turn Whiter than a song in C as I watch the room empty No! Just press on, believe. My numbers are truly sad Tell me again; can I beat Quicksand? Yes I Can! " - Quicksand

As I check back to my last blog (to see how I quote/credit a lyric party...to keep continuity) I noticed that google placed a Chipotle add on the right side of the blog page! This is likely because I searched Chipotle at least 10 times in this past week. And that is because there is new company in the new Rosedale crew already and Chipotle sometimes hooks up traveling musicians with free food.

Her name is Siena. We all know Bryan, right? (cousin, hockey guy, #1 merch dude/email address collector...) Siena is the female Bryan. But luckily, she's not my cousin. I mean it'd be awesome to have known her all my life (like I've known Bryan all my life,) but for "heart-crush" reasons, I'm really glad she's most definitely not my cousin.

I met Siena at our San Diego show in November 2017. I say "our" because she's in a band called Going Postal, and they played that Soma show too. Like many bands today, they'll admit that their future is a giant question mark. But unlike many bands today, they sound awesome!

Check them out

.https://goingpostalca.bandcamp.com/releases

I call Siena "S Money" because one of her friends she was facetiming called her that and I, too, wanted to sound gangsta- "DJ $ Money" to be exact. Siena is finishing her final online college classes while traveling around America with me and selling my merch. When she's not selling merch she's helping me move my insane amounts of gear. When she's not selling merch and moving my insane amounts of gear she's teaching me how to promote in a more professional manner by helping me post enticing social media posts/stories/streams more regularly/organically.

Siena is a very kind-hearted, helpful champion that is way too chill to be so attractive. I just may be the luckiest Tall Canadian with Way Too Much Gear to have her on tour with me. After this tour she's moving to LA to become a world famous movie star so I only have about a month more of her awesomeness. She likes animals a lot, especially animal memes/vines. Mostly cats and dogs. So share/send any good ones and I'll make sure she sees them. (I'm also currently tethering off her wifi hotspot because all of Ohio's wifi is down right now.)

Now that I've made you feel warm with paragraphs of cute kittens and puppies and rock n' roll princesses and awesome music and free Chipotle and sharing wifi; I must reveal some bad news; MY BACK IS F**KED!!! I somehow slowly injured my lower back while walking down some rusty stairs at the wrestling ring venue in Benwood, WV last Tuesday. I was getting ready to catch a little light-up-with-movement Nerf football, moving no different than any human casually walking down a set of stairs- then all of a sudden I felt my back juice trickling into the lower center of my back. Don't be alarmed, this is not a career ending injury or anything. This actually happens to me every two years or so. And this time is not nearly as bad as the last time (when I was filling in for my Dad in his Canadian Tire men's hockey league and I casually skated behind my net to find out how 3 weeks of near paralyzing lower back pain felt.) It's funny; when people ask if I have tall people back problems and I'm not dealing with back problems at that given moment, I usually reply "nope". But as soon as I do experience my dual-annually (I made up that word...) back pain, I remember the last time I had severe back pain. So anyway, I had to cancel two shows and I'm not happy about it. It's getting better. I'm three days without pain relief meds. Stretching a lot. Rubbing Tiger Balm and Icey Hot every few hours. Just taking it easy in Cincinnati until Atlanta's show on Tuesday. That show is gonna be really awesome and there’s no way I’m missing it. I played drums for a band on Warped tour in Dallas too. That was pretty fun. I learned their songs in three days. They have a lot of air horns in their music so I went kind of overboard with the Roland Pad's air horn sample. (Maybe that's why they found a replacement drummer for Pittsburgh Warped.) It was fun seeing the Warped Tour for the last year and getting to play on stage again. We also went to the Cincinnati Warped Tour and learned what heat stroke felt like.

Enough updates on my odd summer. I'll wrap it up with some insightful life/music stuff as I'm hanging out with the infamous Alex Baker. https://alexanderbaker.bandcamp.com/ First though, his dad told us one of the greatest dad joke of all time:

DAD JOKE PARTY:

"I was trying to think of a good reason to go to Switzerland and then I realized the flag was a big plus."

But for real; we were talking about how things would be so different if we had just been understanding with our ex-bandmates in the golden years. We were all young and surrounded by the odd discovery of egos driven by art/success. Alex was in a band called Dewey Decibel https://alexanderbaker.bandcamp.com/album/the-dusting-dewey-decibel They had a fun indie style with a really organic, interesting production. Dewey Decibel recorded their album in their house in Nashville. From the sounds of it, once they started getting attention from NPR and local radio stations things started getting to everyone's heads.

It's not uncommon for a band to get along really well when things are on the up then fall apart when the going gets tough. The more I see it the more I understand the damage it did to Rosedale. But on the other end of that unfortunate reality is the fact that I never would have met Alex Baker if the Rockstar ego-turmoil didn't happen to Dewey Decibel and Rosedale. I probably wouldn't have met Siana (AKA DJ $ Money) either. I'm not preaching that everything happens for a reason. I'm just kinda preaching that if you take the inevitable destructive events in life and turn them into fuel to move on and stay positive, better relationships grow. And those relationships are better because you've grown and learned how to be a better person. So, like I keep driving home in all of these "Farewell Blogs", I'm looking forward to where things go. I'm happy I've experienced all the curveballs along the way to teach me how to eventually hit some home runs. I feel like I'm on the right track with these new friends that I've only met through grinding past the hard times and pressing on for what I had my heart set on. Do you ever think of how you came to know some of your best friends? Like what events led them/you there that day and how grateful you are for those events and the transparent friendships they created? I know facebook gives us the ol "5 years of friendship" tag or whatever. But sometimes I see those and think "ohhh if you only knew, facebook...me and Casey Phillips go WAY BACK!" Anyway that's all for now. If you've been thinking of meeting me or Siena or Alex Baker the best way/time to do it is to come out to an event we're at and experience some in person hangouts. This will be the last few weeks of touring for quite some time for me so really try to highlight these dates and make a solid effort to come catch a show. I promise you will not regret it.

UPCOMING SHOWS: 7/24 - Atlanta,GA @ The Masquerade 7/27 - Jacksonville, FL @ Jackrabbits 7/29 - St. Augustine, FL @ Sarbez 8/3 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Black Forge Coffee 8/4 - Niagara, NY @ Evening Star 8/7 - Brampton, ON @ Spot 1 8/10 - Charleston, WV @ The Empty Glass 8/11 - Myrtle Beach, SC @ TBA Then a bunch of East Coast tour dates.

I was tagged by @fionauna! I love these get to know you things so feel free to tag me or my bird blog @mind-if-i-scream. (sorry this took so long)

Rules(or guidances):

1. Post the rules

2. Answer the questions given to you by the tagger

3. Write 11 questions of your own

4. And tag 11 people

1. Share a memory that makes you happy! #PositiveMentalAttitude

I got a few memories that make me happy. One was the last time I was in a marching band show for high school. It was the last time I was every going to play in my favorite stadium, its in Allentown PA and I weirdly love how the sound bounces around in it. I did marching band for 4 years and kept me going when I was in high school. I hated the show but the first and last time you step off on the field isn’t something you forget. Another memory was when I wore my Big Sister cosplay for the first time at Katsucon. She was my second ‘big cosplay’ I made and I made her in under two weeks. I had a ton of pics taken of me in her and was invited to a photo shoot too. That costume is what kept me interested in cosplaying and prop making. Both of these memories keep me inspired when my health problems start beating me up and I feel like I want to quit. It reminds me that I’m a damn good musician and one hell of a cosplayer.

2. What is something that you’ve always wanted to do, but haven’t done yet?

I REALLY want to hike the Appalachian Trail. I’ve done parts of it when I was in the boy scouts and I really want to hike more. Being hurt/sick is kinda putting a hold on it and I need friends who want to go with me. If I get to do it I’ll probably do in it small chunks so it’d be easier.

3. What is a song you listen to when you need motivation?

I like listening to the Undertale and Cuphead OST when ever I’m down. Undertale has good combo of sweet happy music and fun boss fight music and doesn’t have any big drops in tempo or volume which keeps my flow going since I don’t need to adjust my internal tempo. I play jazz and Cuphead is full of fun jazz pieces.

4. What made you decide to join Tumblr?

Friends are into it and I wanted more memes and art. Not really a fandom person since I lack the time and energy to keep up with it, but I do have a bird blog and enjoy talking to people about mine and their birds and offering advise if I think I can help.

5. Windows, or Mac? ;)

Windows, never had a Mac and I don’t really do anything that I would need one.

6. What was your favourite book as a child?

I was a bad child who hated to read so I really don’t have one. I loved the art style of Eric Carle so I read those books when I was really little but mostly just to look at the drawings.

7. Who inspires you?

No one really, I never had a role model growing up and still never really look up to anyone. I’m mostly fueled on anger and spite that I gain from people telling me ‘I can’t do the thing’ more then encouragement from people telling me I can.

8. Tell us a weird fact about yourself!

My whole existence is a weird fact. I currently have three tick born diseases, I own 7 clarinets some I think are cursed and 3 are over 100 years old, and I built a Big Sister/deep sea diver helmet in under a week.

9. What is your favourite animal?

I like birds, a lot. I own 12 right now and run a blog about birds. Favorite bird would be a 3 way tie between a potoo, cassowary, and a cock-of-the-rock, cuz they’re really cool looking and I would love to see them one day.

10. Something you couldn’t live without?

Excluding anyone or anything living, I would probably say art. My art keeps me grounded and helps me moving forward in life. Without art I wouldn’t have some of the friends I have today and also I’d be out of a job and a major in college.

11. If you could live in any fictional universe, would you, and if so, which one would it be?

I like most D&D/Elder Scrolls/high fantasy types of worlds so probably something like that. I love playing high fantasy table top games, video games, and I go LARPing whenever I can but I don’t think I could physically make it in that world cuz of my health problems. But if I was in one of the worlds I would want to see a dragon and possibly give it a high five.

I’m gona steal 2 of your questions.

1. Tell us a weird fact about yourself!

2. If you could live in any fictional universe, would you, and if so, which one would it be?

3. If you can meet anyone famous who would it be and why?

4. Favorite flower?

5. Do you have any pets?

6. Craziest adventure you’ve ever been on?

7. Do you still have any of your toys from when you were a kid and, if yes, what’s their names?

8. Last movie you saw and did you like it?

9. Favorite mythical creature?

10. Favorite snack?

11. Have you’ve ever been to the beach?

I’m gona tag @dogdemonsrock5 @would-bird-again @hunterkat @avian-sanctuary @juststandingthere-menacingly @pom-seedss @violetcheekedconure @tiels @inkybirds @stupid-bird-adventures @myfeatheredflock

As you can see my poorly pencilled ocean that doesn't look like an ocean at all, are up here as an article. At first, as a non artistic person i picked colors that has the same variations under blue and i also considered lighter grey that falls on that shade; which didn't stand out, as I put more pressure on darker values.

I also added that variable that i call starfish to let my future page turner that happened to turned on this particular page and won't have any confusion, if this indeed; is an oddly looking beach. I know there weren't trees in it. Maybe i should've put some instead of putting this up right away. Well, i am really excited to have this shared here. Actually, i stopped using other social media and been doing a lot of things that still involved the connection of internet but lesser interaction to tweeting my feelings or sharing endless laughable memes or sharing anime that sparks my interest or cute husbando that I'll never have because they don't exist and yep i am still talking about animated guy who are stunningly beautiful and their smile are just to die for but then again, i really stopped sharing to the people who can see my interest like I've been checking how I value their reaction on what I loved to do that i fall into the trap of slavery to their attention and i keep seeking it and eats away the things that I'd loved to do or even things that I haven't discovered about myself. I mentioned about this online journal i was making to only few and with few i mean one person and that person is my first leader at Destiny. I didn't mentioned the name, so she won't even search it while i am still alive. You are probably reading this because i am dead or something. I don't know, maybe you are reading this because you are my future husband who doesn't know the word privacy and has invaded my property and check how come i don't share anything at all online and i got busted and see all these entries i made for years.

I want to keep all my progress here instead. I don't want to drown myself on people's praises or maybe they could also get jealous at my hard work but poorly looking art. Ain't I laughable enough? You can laugh, don't worry. I don't get mad at such remarks that are hidden on people's smirk or how they see my first progress as laughable hahahhaa hanudaw i am so contradicting, hindi daw magagalit pero biglang parang binabawi na parang hindi hahahaha pero honestly, kung nababasa mo man to. Thank you kasi you are reading this entry until the very last words. May gusto ka sakin nuh? Marupok ako ah char hahahhaa thank you kasi binabasa mo hanggang dulo. Anong oras na bago ko na tapos ung pagta type like 1:57 AM na pala kasi tamang isip lang ng mga sinasabi char hahahaha at dahil quarantined na walang disiplina sa katawan; ako'y kakain ng pesto na niluto ng aking kapatiders. Medyo masaya na ko sa gantong set up kasi medyo di ko na iinvade yung mga people sa pag share nila ng memes and sobrang daldal ko kaya hindi macontain sa 142 characters pero naging 280 characters na daw pero kulang pa din yun hakhak. Kita mo nga ang layo ko na sa topic natin na oceans na hindi naman mukhang ocean like kadiri yung gawa ko; gets ko pero tatawanan ko to one day kapag sobrang galing ko na hahahhaa wow powerful kasi denedeclare na gagaling pero syempre, the more you spend time doing what you loved to do. Naturally, you'll improve and not noticed how poorly you started but didn't get herself discouraged by someone else's progress and continue to focus on hers alone. 🔥✨✨

Arthur is ready, are you?

We are less than one week away from the start of Inceptiversary 2017!!!!!!!

We’ve got a little more info for you on what’s going on during the festivities, including start dates and handy links for where to find more info.

Your #1 place for all Inception related info is @inceptiversary. Here you’ll find reblogs of all the info posts, so chances are you’ll find what you’re looking for with a little scrolling. Make sure to tag all your own posts with #inceptiversary so the blog picks them up!

#2 is the Inceptiversary social calendar. If you notice anything missing from the calendar, please message @teacuphuman09 and it will be added asap!

#3 Watch parties will be held in the Inception slack. Don’t have an invite? Send an ask to @guiltypuknowme and she’ll hook you up. Check @inceptiversarysocial for the movie poll and have your say in what we watch! These parties are also a great way to get to know your fellow Inceptionites, but don’t worry if you’re not up to being super social, you can still join and lurk. We love our lurkers here, too!

#4 You can’t have an Inception Watch Party without Watch Party Bingo! The prizes this year are seriously sweet, so make sure to check back for more info!

#5 The Inception Fandom Auction is in honour of @anartificialaspidistra, who passed away earlier this year. Molly was a beautiful person and a great friend, and if you want to donate something, or bid, you can message @corinnetags or go to http://inception-auction.dreamwidth.org/ for more info.

#6 The Inception 30 Day Challenge is a great way to connect with your love for the Inception fandom! Write a love letter to your favourite character! Unearth the rarest of your rare pairs! Count how many times Eames touches his lips throughout the film! Every day is a new and fun challenge!

#7 @inceptionkitties has some great events planned this year, including the crossover challenge with @00kitties that we’re totally going to win. I’m just sayin’, our fandom has the best kitties. Hands down.

#8 Get ready to lengthen your to-read lists and be introduced to the best that this fandom has to offer! Learn things you never knew about the movie and gorge on all the meta and fanworks! The Fanworks Roundup starts on July 1st, so dream bigger and be prepared!

#9 Inception Reversebang is the beautiful marriage of fanart and fanfic, brought together for one hell of a challenge! Sign-ups for this will open in the second half of the month, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for all the great art and be inspired!

#10 Psst, hey you. Yeah, you. You like tropes? How ‘bout kinks? Well then do I have the event for you! Trope/Kink Bingo is a fun and creative way to write that fic you always wanted to write, or challenge yourself with something you never thought you could. Pick a line, four corners, or join the blackout club! Bingo fics are open to all pairings and ships, and tend to get a lot of kudos and comments, and this year there are rumours of matching t-shirts in the works!

#11 If you’re going to get a bingo card you should also sign up for the Inception Comment Contest! In an attempt to encourage appreciative comments on fics, and fandom love all around, @teacuphuman09 (that’s me!) is running a contest that could see you, the reader/viewer, winning a fanwork from one of your favourite authors or artists! For authors/artists, this is a great way to give back and thank all those consumers of fandom who took the time to give you some love and put a smile on your face. Also, who feed your addiction, because as we all know, comments are like crack and our works live and die by them! The best part is that you can sign up as a commenter AND and a creator! Double bonus! Commenters sign up HERE, and Authors/Artists sign up HERE. Sign-ups are only open until June 30th, so hurry! If you can’t remember if you’ve signed up, check out this spreadsheet!

#12 And if you’re going to join the Comment Contest, you really should head over to @inceptionpositivity and leave an anonymous note for that author whose fic just made you squee/cry/laugh/squirm in public. We all know you read fanfic at your desk, Deborah! You’re not fooling anyone.

#13 @aelastwriter (Arthur and Eames Last Drabble Writer Standing) is a quick, competitive drabble contest that has the lovely side effect of flooding us with excellent, short fics that YOU get to vote on! And this year, there will once again be a non-elimination round! Win-win! Warning: these drabbles are addictive and may leave you yearning to leave copious kudos and comments for the authors. This, of course, is strongly encouraged.

#14 The Fanfic Group Discussion over at @dreamin-reader are always insightful, in-depth, and sometimes even filthy ;-) They’re an excellent way to explore our fandom and the characters and stories that drive it forward. So drop by and have a chat about some of your favourite fics!

#15 The Inception Friending Meme is your one-stop shop for who’s who in our fandom! See who lives in your area, or who shares a hobby with you. The goal is to bring us together and build lasting relationships, because the fandom that knows each other is a fandom that grows each other. (Insert emoji of Alex Hart with hand on heart, fedora on head, and foot in mouth)

#16 The Inception Quiz has a manpain’s worth of great prizes, just waiting to be won! Sign up and test your knowledge of Inception, because maybe you don’t know everything you think you know. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s all been a dream. More info to come!

#17 Quick! What your favourite rare pair? Saito/Nash? Yusuf/Mal? Dom/Ari’s scarf? Whatever it is, you’ll find it in the Rare Pair Fest! More info to come!

#18 Speaking of coming...you know what happens on Wednesdays, right? On Wednesdays we share fics. Feel-good fics. Fics that get you over the hump that is the middle of the week and help you glide into Friday. Because on Friday, we’ll be in our bunks with the fics that we can’t forget. The ones that linger because they were just so hot you had to go back and read them again! Check out @inceptionficrx for Wednesday Hump Days and Bunk Fic Fridays for a sure-fire way to keep your week humming! All ships are welcome!

#19 The glorious month of July will also deliver unto us the newest masterpiece by Chris Nolan, Dunkirk. Tom Hardy! Cillian Murphy! Mark Rylance! Planes! Boats! Dead infantry! Heroic measures! We all know how it’s going to end, but it looks like it’s going to be a great journey! @guiltypuknowme is organizing a chat in the Inception slack to discuss the movie following its release, so come join the fun and talk about why Tom Hardy always has to wear a freaking mask over his pretty mug!

#20 Ever wanted to know more about the glorious French language? The romance, the curl of the tongue, the really complicated conjugations? @malteparle will have a French word of the day every day in July to keep you warm and content. Tu n'as pas peur de rêver plus grand, ma chérie.

#21 The time has come, people. Time to crush the 007 fandom in the Inception/007 Crossover Round Robin Challenge, just like we did last year! Be on alert and check your mentions because it’s going to be a wild ride to victory, once again!

#22 Looking for something specific? Then look no further than @a-forger-and-a-point-man’s excellent Inception Blog Masterlist! It has everything you’ll need to navigate the Inception fandom!

#23 In need of a little Inception fanwork, but not up to the task yourself? Visit on of the wonderful blogs that are accepting prompts during Inceptiversary!

-@fridatwin

-@brookebond

If you’re taking prompts and I’ve missed you, please let me know and I’ll add you to the list!

#24 Don’t forget about the Theme Weeks!

July 1-7 Meet Cute: First meetings, coffeeshop AU’s, all those fics that make you squirm with excitement because you know how good it’s going to be for your ship!

July 8-14 Adventure: Canon compliant, heist fics, any fic where the characters are dream criminals.

July 15-21 Hurt AND/OR Comfort: All the pain, all the solace, or a little of both!

July 22-28 Crossovers: Your favourite fics that incorporate our heroes into other story lines, or bring other universes into Inception.

July 29-August 4 Mystical Realism/AUs: Bring us your weird, your slimy, your shameful! Anything goes, as long as it has elements of the unusual!

As I mentioned above, we have some truly great prizes again this year! Fics, artwork, crafts, jewelry, podfic’ing! The list goes on and on! If you’d like to offer a prize, please contact @justgot1 so she can put you down as a benevolent donor! The more we have, the more we can give away!

Five days to go, so rest up, get ready, and dream big!
