Hola hola - for the ask game, I'd like to know more about “i was dancing in the rain, i felt alive and i can’t explain”

(Also - i see you listen to Aurora! Nice)

thanks for asking!

terrible news, it’s an angst fic

i haven’t touched it in almost three years, but i still keep it around because i really love the writing in it. it’s a modern au, and basically what happens is sokka meets yue in college, they start dating, get married, are really happy, and then yue dies tragically during childbirth

yeah…

anyway, here’s a snippet from it

Talking with Yue is easy. She’s sweet and laughs at his jokes and listens when he starts rambling about engineering- it’s so rare that people listen. Even his best friends get bored with him sometimes.

Yue doesn’t get bored with him.

The tea shop becomes their spot, where Sokka frantically tries to keep up with her tea order because it turns out Yue likes all kinds of tea, and the only similarity is that she drinks it hot. Steaming hot.

She listens to him while he talks, and sketches his face on the napkins they get. Every single drawing he keeps, tucking it away in his worn leather bag and putting them away at home.

He listens to her too. He loves listening to her. She talks about school, about her art, about her family. She’s paid to be at Ba Sing Se University straight out of pocket; her family is filthy rich. She’s a business major, set to take on her father’s company one day. But really, she wants to be an artist.

Their spot is no longer just the tea shop. It’s the pathway to the park, it’s the bridge overlooking the pond, it’s the bench outside her apartment. Sokka and Yue’s spot is wherever Sokka can hold Yue’s hand and listen to her talk.

thanks again for the ask!

Get a beta reader who knows the sitch and get them to point out all those linguistic flourishes of yours. Then you can decide whether/how to change them to be less identifiable.

Also, you could start another fic idea in this small fandom and talk very overtly to your friends about it, hype it up, make sure each of them knows about it, all that, and then post it around the same time you anonymously post your Secret Fic. To throw ’em off your scent ’cause you were clearly working on something Else™ at the time.

Since you think it’s inevitable that they’ll find the fic, then get ahead of the curve. Be the first person to “find” it—or one of the first if that’d be less suspicious. Comment on the fic through your usual AO3 account. Rec it to your friends if you dare. This might seem weird so you don’t have to do this step, but it can honestly be helpful: I mean, what better way to trick your brain to doubt yourself less than to comment on your own fic, “Sure, some people might think this is cringy because of [something you are genuinely insecure about], but I really liked the [something you are genuinely proud of]. I’m glad you posted this!”?

Ideally of course, you would spend this energy on combatting the source of the issue (your self-consciousness around your friends), rather than a symptom of it, but I know that’s easier said than done so if getting it posted in secret is a baby step to getting it posted no matter what your friends think, then I wish you success nonny.

question for the mods and/or other readers of this blog: let's say, hypothetically, you wrote a *really* embarrassing fic (perhaps shamelessly horny, perhaps just terrible) for a really small fandom and you know your fandom friends will find it at some point (probably as soon as it's posted) AND you know they recognize your signature linguistic flourishes and favorite AUs! if simply not posting the fic isn't an option (because you'll wither and die if you don't recieve validation from internet strangers), what would you hypothetically do to keep your friends from finding out about it?

speaking from absolute experience, either post it anonymously or make a whole separate ao3 account for it.

"Shh, General," Xu Da says, in the same tone Zhu used to soothe him with his abdomen open, a lifetime ago. "Better things are ahead." But Ouyang knows Xu Da is lying, can hear it in the slight catch of his voice and feel it in the too-tight grip of his hands on Ouyang's shins. Nothing lies ahead but the inevitable, miserable, all-consuming end.

Wow! It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years since @robrae-headquarters and I founded Ship's Haven. Since then, a lot has changed! Not only is this fandom discord still around but we're not just a Teen Titans place to hang out (though a lot of us are still in that fandom) but we now welcome all those who just want to talk about their ships and hang out with other fans!

I want to thank members like @shewhowillnotbenamed1, @hydrangeahayze, @leta-dagworth, @junipernight, and others who have made it a place I look forward to logging into every day!

For anyone interested in just hanging out or stopping, feel free!

DISCORD - Ship’s Haven - Teen Titan Chat for Shippers and fans! 

Hey all,

I’m taking a big shot here to see if there is a need/want for something like this. I noticed a lot of conversations here and there about Teen Titan ships but not one place we can all hang out and talk. So, I have gone and created a Discord server with @robrae-headquarters​ to create a place where we can talk about our Teen Titans ships in a peaceful and fun manner. Our goal and especially mine is to have a fun convo on the differences that we share with this beloved show. 

https://discord.gg/ZqWPcYu

If this looks like something you’d be interested in doing, please join up! I’m online on my phone and when I’m home so I should be easily reachable and I love talking ships!

@junipernight said: I have no idea what's going on right now.

I have no idea what's going on right now. (English) - Mul pole aimugi, mis praegu toimub. (Estonian)

Aang nervously paced back and forth in front of the Water Tribe siblings. They'd stopped guarding their behinds miles ago, when the sun had set and the full moon in front of them had risen above the clouds, providing a guiding light on their way back to the Earth Kingdom.

"I have no idea what's going on right now."

Sokka and Katara exchanged glances with a similar empty look in their eyes. They had no idea either. Everything the airbender had just revealed to them came as a shock.

"Aang.."

Katara attempted to grab his hand to persuade him to sit down, but he pulled it away and laid them on his bald head instead.

Sokka rubbed at his temple, trying to put together the mess of a story Aang had retold them.

"So, this comet enhances the firebenders' bending and they'll become unstoppable unless you defeat the Fire Lord before it arrives at the end of this summer?"

"But that's less than a year away!" Katara said in a rather desperate tone. Aang shook his head in disbelief.

"I know, I know, I KNOW!"

He fell down on his knees, his back facing his friends. This was the first time he managed to sit still for more than a minute since they'd left the fire temple.

"How am I supposed to fight the most powerful firebender in the world when I haven't even mastered the other three elements?"

He was on the brink of collapsing in front of them. The airbender let out a heavy sigh.

"What am I gonna do?"

He hung his head a bit and simply stared at the endless ocean below. He would've wanted to drown right then and there, so he could sink all of the troubles and responsibilities "bestowed" upon him by his predecessor. If he dared to jump, his airbending instincts would've kicked in and saved him in time. But he didn't need to jump.

Two hands landed on Aang's shoulders to keep him back, and he turned to meet Katara's worried gaze. She wrapped her arms around him for a hug and sat down next to him, they were joined by Sokka a moment later. Even Momo flew on the edge of the saddle, staring at him with his lime green eyes in an effort to comfort him somehow.

"Maybe we'll find a way," Katara murmured into Aang's ear and squeezed him a bit tighter. She was right, maybe he was gonna defeat the Fire Lord after all. He wasn't exactly sure how, but he had to try, for the sake of the world. For his friends. For her.

----------x----------

Aang sammus närviliselt Vee Hõimu õe-venna ees edasi-tagasi. Nad olid juba mitu miili tagasi oma taguotsa valvamise lõpetanud, kui päike oli loojunud ja nende ees olnud täiskuu oli tõusnud pilvede kohale, pakkudes suunavat valgust nende tagasiteel Maa Kuningriiki.

"Mul pole aimugi, mis praegu toimub."

Sokka ja Katara vahetasid pilke sarnase tühja pilguga oma silmis. Ka neil polnud aimugi. Kõik, mida õhutaltsutaja oli just neile avaldanud, tuli šokina.

"Aang.."

Katara üritas tema käest kinni võtta, et veenda teda maha istuma, kuid ta tõmbas selle ära ja pani need hoopis oma kiilakale peale.

Sokka hõõrus oma oimukohta, üritades seda segast lugu kokku panna, mille Aang oli neile ümber jutustanud.

"Niisiis, see komeet võimendab tuletaltsutajate taltsutamist ja nad muutuvad peatamatuks, juhul kui sa ei alista Tule Isandat enne selle saabumist selle suve lõpus?"

"Aga see on vähem kui aasta pärast!" ütles Katara üsna meeleheitlikul toonil. Aang raputas umbusklikult pead.

"Ma tean, ma tean, MA TEAN!"

Ta laskus põlvili, selg sõprade poole pööratud. See oli esimene kord, kui tal õnnestus rohkem kui minut aega paigal istuda pärast seda, kui nad olid tule templist lahkunud.

"Kuidas ma peaksin võitlema maailma kõige võimsama tuletaltsutajaga, kui ma pole isegi kolme ülejäänud elementi selgeks saanud?"

Ta oli nende ees kokku varisemas. Õhutaltsutaja ohkas raskelt.

"Mida ma küll teen?"

Ta pea vajus pisut norgu ja ta vahtis lihtsalt allpool asuvat lõputut ookeani. Ta oleks tahtnud uppuda just siis ja seal samas, et ta saaks ära uputada kõik need hädad ja kohustused, mille tema eelkäija talle oli edasi "andnud". Kui ta oleks julgenud hüpata, oleksid tema õhutaltsutaja instinktid tööle hakanud ja ta õigeaegselt päästnud. Kuid tal polnud vaja hüpata.

Kaks kätt langesid Aang'i õlgadele, et teda tagasi hoida, ja ta pööras end Katara mureliku pilgu poole. Tüdruk mässis oma käed tema ümber üheks kallistuseks ja istus tema kõrvale maha, hetk hiljem ühines nendega Sokka. Isegi Momo lendas sadula servale, jõllitades teda oma laimiroheliste silmadega, püüdes teda kuidagi lohutada.

"Võib-olla me leiame mingi viisi," ümises Katara Aang'ile kõrva ja embas teda pisut kõvemalt. Tal oli õigus, võib-olla ta ikkagi alistab Tule Isanda. Ta polnud täpselt kindel kuidas, kuid ta pidi proovima, maailma huvides. Oma sõprade pärast. Tema nimel.

Author's note: I remembered the heartbreaking scene in the end of "Winter Solstice, Part 2: Avatar Roku", where the entire Gaang is flying back towards the Earth Kingdom in the middle of the night, and then both Katara and Sokka hug Aang to console him after what they'd most likely learned from him. How suddenly there's this deadline hanging over their heads, which they're forced to meet in order to win the war (and which also puts them under the pressure to pursue the path they end up going through in the series, thus laying the foundation for it). So I wanted to write my take on the conversation they might've had. *wipes sweat off of forehead*.. Phew! Final one for this year. Made it almost before the end of May (it's already June 1st my time *lol*). I'm ashamed it took me so long to answer all of them, but at least they're finished now.

@junipernight here’s a lil sneak peak from the WIP ask game!

I’m gonna work on PRPW when I get home because it’s nearly done and Finishing things is finicky but here’s some bad suggestions.

Truly a sequence of synapses did fire between these events. Kwami knows who got the brain cell but it wasn’t them 🥰

We Are Miraculous, Ch. 5: Allies

We Are Miraculous Archive

With thanks to @alexseanchai and @paganinpurple

*

Scraps of paper fall around Chloé’s legs, some of them onto her pants. She brushes them away with barely a glance, too focused on the newspaper she is currently attacking with the scissors in her right hand—paying special attention to the face of the man on the cover.

The scissors aren’t enough, and she slams them onto her vanity with a growl, tearing into the newspaper with her fingers. “Rip your stupid ridiculous face,” she growls at the picture of Edouard Carón as her fingernails cut into his paper cheeks, scattering bits of newspaper across her vanity.

She turns, glances at Sabrina behind her, and holds up a hand. “Another one,” she says, her fingers clutching at the scissors again.

Sabrina stands, newspapers held in crossed arms against her chest, chewing her lip. “Are you sure this is the best idea, Chloé?” she asks.

Chloé grimaces, turning in her chair, crossing her legs at the knee, fingertips brushing disdainfully at her capris. “You heard what Daddy said, right?” she snarls. She leans forward, jabbing her finger at Carón’s smug bastard face, causing Sabrina to stumble backwards. “Apparently Monsieur Ladybug-Hater ‘can’t be fired for having an opinion.’ Even if it’s a stupid one.” She flips her ponytail, turning back to her mirror and staring into the blue of her own eyes. “What’s the point of being Mayor of Paris if you can’t fire idiots who insult superheroes?”

Sabrina clears her throat. “Um, I’m—I’m not sure your dad could fire him anyway?”

Chloé groans, dropping her head onto the vanity on top of crossed arms. “I know,” she mumbles. “I just wish he could.”

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Sabrina tentatively reach for her shoulder, then draw back, pressing the newspapers back to her chest.

”You don’t deserve this,” Chloé whispers to the Ladybug costume she can see reflected in the mirror, hanging in her closet. “They don’t deserve you.”

She sits for a minute in silence, silence only broken by Sabrina’s nervous shuffling, before the other girl finally clears her throat. “I thought—I thought we were still mad at Ladybug?” she says. “Since, you know...” Her eyes flick downward, looking at herself, and Chloé knows she means Miraculer, when Ladybug fired her.

Chloé straightens, slamming a fist on her vanity, and Sabrina jumps. Chloé’s eyes narrow. “Ladybug might not be able to see talent when she’s looking at it,” she snarls, “but she’s still doing a better job than anyone in Paris could except me.” She snatches one of the newspapers from Sabrina’s arms, uncaring that she’s caused the rest of them to scatter to the floor, and lifts the scissors, preparing to take the blade to Carón’s face again, when suddenly her phone rings.

Her eyes meet Sabrina’s—both of them confused, both of them lost—before she looks down at the phone. Blocked Number.

She picks it up, slides to answer, and puts it to her ear. “You shouldn’t have called this number, you piece—”

”Hi Queenie.”

Chloé’s breath catches, her stomach curling in on itself like a caterpillar. “Who—who is this?” she says. She’s fairly certain she recognizes that voice—are they planning to threaten her? Do they want a Miraculous? She’s told everyone who came after her that she’s been fired, that she’s not Queen Bee anymore, but all these losers keep getting her number, keep pestering her, and she’s thinking of changing her number just to make them stop.

Still, every one of them so far has called her “Madamoiselle Bourgeois” or “Queen Bee” or “Madamoiselle Bee.” Never Queenie. Only a few people have ever called her Queenie.

”It’s Rena Rouge,” the voice on the other end of the line says, and Chloé’s heart drops as she realizes she does know that voice, the voice of her old teammate, the voice of the true fox. A voice she wasn’t expecting to hear again outside of recordings. “Ladybug needs your help.”

Chloé scoffs, mentally pulling herself back together as Sabrina tilts her head questioningly. “Of course she does,” she says, glancing to the window. “Where’s the Akuma? Are you bringing my Miraculous?”

Rena snorts. “You sure haven’t changed,” she says. “No Akuma. Meet us on the roof of your school at 1700.”

Chloé blinks. “What’s going on?”

”Caron,” Rena says. “I’m planning to send a message.”

”What message?”

”We stand with Ladybug.”

The phone disconnects, and Chloé pulls it away, staring at it in confusion.

Alya taps the "disconnect call" button on her phone, then slumps against the brick wall at the edge of the park, letting her bones turn to jelly. Well, she thought. That call could have gone worse.

Trying to keep her cool around Chloé has always been... difficult, at best. From day one, Alya had been horrified by how the heiress treated Marinette; there were few things that could have redeemed her in Alya's eyes. And then she'd gone and made herself ground zero for Akuma attacks. Alya can't even get close to her without getting the urge to puke, and she can't tap her phone charm in front of Chloé without fear that Chloé is going to assume she's spying on her and get her suspended again.

And yet, against Miraculer and Mayura, Queen Bee had done something unprecedented... and fought off an Akuma after it had already infected her. She'd turned down an offer from Mayura that Alya was sure she'd have taken. Even though she'd been fired, her faith in Ladybug had been so strong that she'd overcome her self-obsession to save them all.

Alya closes her eyes, pressing her palm to her forehead. She hopes calling her was the right move. Marinette needs everyone in her corner that she can possibly get right now.

"Hey babe?"

Alya opens her eyes to see her boyfriend standing not quite in front of her—more a little off to the side, not intruding on her space. He's looking at her with the soft eyes he always wears when he's worried.

"Everything's fine, babe," she sighs. "Just... had to make a tough decision."

Nino leans his back against the wall. "You sure?" he says. "I saw you walk past the spot where Pixelator got hit and you didn't reach for your phone." He purses his lips. "It looked like you were clutching your chest, actually."

Alya swallows. "Ah," she says. "Yeah." She glances at Marinette and Adrien, who seem to be steadily reddening while they try desperately not to verbally trip over each other—oh man, no wonder Ladybug's never been receptive to Chat—and definitely aren't paying attention to her. She reaches into her shirt, fishing the chain around her neck and producing a familiar fox-tail necklace. "This is... a bit more effective."

Nino's eyes widen, then narrow. "You bought a replica?" he says. "If it works, I guess..."

Alya shakes her head. "Trixx?"

She feels tiny paws on her neck as the fox pokes his head out from Alya's thick russet mane. "Hello, Mari Tòti!"

Nino blinks. "What."

Alya grimaces. "Sorry I didn't say anything," she says, crossing her arms over her stomach. "Adrien was right there, and... well..."

"I getcha," Nino says, looking at their friends. The expression on his face is hard to read—she can't tell if he's actually hurt, if he understands, or if he just is having trouble caring. She can tell he's having a bad day—they all are.

She reaches into her pocket. "Got something for you," she says, holding up the familiar jade pendant.

Nino's eyebrows pop. "Is that what I think it is?" he says.

Alya grins. "Put it on and see," she says, pressing it into his palm.

*

[anonymous-ivplay]

Haven't done a tag game in awhile, thanks for tagging me @hashtag-anthems !

5 fandoms I used to be in

Rainbow Magic

Started reading the books as a 13yo, got really into mimicking the drawing style of the illustrations, and first got into writing fanfic thanks to these fairy gals

Doctor Who

I still keep tabs on the fandom but stopped watching around the time Clara Oswald left, overall I saw the whole reboot up to that point, the movie, and a handful of episodes from 3, 4, 5 and 7's eras

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

I only watched like 5 episodes of this overall but I got really into the deviantart fancomics for awhile

Hamilton

I've been a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda since he was on PBS Kids back in like 2009 so I kinda had to join this one lol

Teen Titans

Never watched this show until I was nearly 20, spent several months watching the whole thing in between classes and then went back to watch a few more episodes before my depression got too bad to enjoy any fandoms

5 fandoms I am currently in

Gravity Falls

Watched the whole show for the first time back in August and I've been quoting it daily ever since

C-dramas

I started playing a mobile game set in Qing dynasty China that's based off of several TV shows, so I've watched Weiyoung and Yanxi Palace and now I'm working through Ashes of Love

DHMIS

Singlehandedly thanks to @sketchbook-and-tony-adventures

Star Wars

First watched the movies in middle school and I've been on and off with this ever since, but so long as R2-D2 is somewhere I'm into it

Odd Squad

This fandom has consumed more of my time, energy, and friendships than any other fandom *combined*, I haven't watched anything after S2 yet but I'll never truly leave

5 movies I used to watch a lot

Cinderella III

My sister and I used to play it frame-by-frame to try and find the funniest frames, our favorite was when Jaq and Gus flashed the fourth wall with their bare asses

Bright Eyes

A Shirley Temple movie my dad has on videocassette, my other sister was fascinated with the VCR as a 3yo and chose this movie to pop in and out at random intervals, so we all saw it a lot but never in order

Inside Out

My second favorite Pixar movie!

Wall-E

My mom loves this movie so much she bought it on DVD and showed it to every single one of our relatives

Fantasia

This was one of the first movies I ever remember watching and I'm pretty sure it's the reason I studied classical music in college

5 movies I watch a lot

Midsommar

Once in theaters, once in the beginning of lockdown and once with my bf, this movie fascinates me so much

The Incredibles

Never gonna stop watching this one

Napoleon Dynamite

I've lost count of how many friends/partners I've watched this movie with simply because they hadn't seen it yet

The Shop Around the Corner

You know the musical She Loves Me and the movie You've Got Mail? They were both based on this 1938 classic

A Christmas Story

Obvious choice is obvious

5 book series I used to read

Redwall

This was my first real fandom, I was CONSUMED by the books as a preteen. I hear Netflix is making a new TV series so I might have to get into it again...

Septimus Heap

Highly recommend as an alternative to Harry Potter for anyone who hates Joanne as much as or (more than) I do

A Series of Unfortunate Events

I actually tried making myself obsess over this as a fandom but it didn't quite hold my interest the way Redwall did

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

It was hard to choose between this and Hunger Games but I read these books more times through haha

Magic Tree House

This and American Girl were my childhood

5 book series I read now

This is gonna be a stretch because I haven't been doing a whole lot of reading lately, let alone anything in a series

Market of Monsters (aka Not Even Bones)

Started with the webtoon, then binged the whole trilogy when the comic went on hiatus

The Wrath and the Dawn

Started with the webtoon, but I'm refusing to read the novels until they're all published

Collected works of Anya Seton

I've read Katherine, My Theodosia, and Avalon, but my favorite is by far Katherine

William Easley's GF fanfics

Told you this would be a stretch, but honest to God this is all I've been reading during the pandemic since I (still!) can't get to a library, also I love his writing style and the research he puts into his worldbuilding

Aristotle and Dante

Another reach since there's only one book published, but it's my absolute favorite novel and the sequel is set to come out in the fall!!!
