👀🛒😅😬📚🎨🎢🏆 and 😈 for the fanfic ask meme!

Oh man, thank you! This was really hard but also fun.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

So many!

Currently writing about a character coming up against Dragon Age demons for the first time, greatly enjoying that.

A character study about Michael the Distortion and also Helen.

Oh, and I am also writing about two characters discussing asexuality and relationships.

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

Trauma, grief and mentall illness is a cornerstone in anything I write. There are so many things to consider with it, and what it means for your life. Like was it always with you, or did you develop it? Was it a violation and what does it mean now going forward?

Furthermore I get a kick out of really obscure refrences in my work. Like I have referenced Koschei the Deathless, The Killers lyrics, Karen Sundt, Laika, Ivo Caprino jokes… it’s fun not only for me but to see the rare case where people make the connection. I get the enjoyment either way.

😅 What’s a story or scene you’ve created that you’re a smidge embarrassed exists?

Redbark No-Chief.

Let me explain. In the Kahvi comics, which are not considered mostly non-canon anyway, we saw a minor character be pronounced chief of Two-Spears splintergroup of Wolfriders. Redbark, said character, looked to be same age as Kahvi, and his design was similar to Graywolf, who had recognized Willowgreen II. So naturally I concluded that he was their child.

In the comic we had a big Flash forward, and was told that Willowgreen had cleaned out their wolfblood, and that every chief after Two-Spear’s descion had been left wanting.

I was very intruged and was trying to write about Redbark holding the legacy of his mother’s crime… but turns out it was incorrect. It was just a coincidence that he looked like the same age and design. Redbark was no one. Which I discovered bust as I was going to publish the third chapter.

It completely took the wind out of my sails. To loose that familiar connection between them made my story fall apart to the point where it never recovered.

So yeah. You live and learn.

📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?

Writing books has always been my dream, but honestly, the last few years I have heard stories about how publishing really works and. It is really discouraging and confusing? It is putting me off writing proffesionally for the first time since I was six =/

🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?

Love it.

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Oh, hmm. I am actually uncertain of how to judge this one. Maybe Shade of Smiles? It is a fanfic that explores a happening that is treated as small in canon but is really anything but just that.

🏆 What’s your most popular fic?

In all honesty it’s a Harry Potter crack fic. 🙃

The other most popular I made was a Skyrim fanfic where my Listener had a hard time breaking into Aventus Arentino’s house; https://www.archiveofourown.com/works/8044882

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

I used to always end with cliffhangers, but that was mostly because I needed that to propel me forward. I had to finish a new chapter to find out what happened next than being cruel =P

Review @ Means Magazine :

Described as being “like Harold Budd and Oval playing in the same room,” WHΛLTHISИEY is the haunted ambient project of Fernando Cerqueira. Residing in Lisbon, Cerqueira is the co-founder of the Portuguese Thisco label and founding member of the late 80’s SPH Tapes label, whose releases include works by Merzbow and Jim O´Rourke.

Combining drone and minimalist glitch with impressionist piano atmospheres, WHΛLTHISИEY’s intimate music seeks to mix the past with the present, drawing beauty from the commonplace to give it life again via a mirror that absorbs and reflects. Everything flows, is constantly in flux in WHΛLTHISИEY’s music, always becoming but never being. As the artist themselves states: “WHΛLTHISИEY is repetition and out of repetition, comes variation, out of variation comes iteration, out of iteration, comes creation.”

Running just shy of three-minutes, ‘Chain fraction’ is a concise micro study in melancholic murmurs, one which rewards being played on an endless loop to welcome in the smeary-eyed dawn after a post-rave comedown. It is an ambient soundtrack for the lost and lonely souls walking around nameless labyrinthine streets at 3am with nowhere to go. WHΛLTHISИEY has magicked an illusory sense of place, one that is nowhere, somewhere off the map, desolate and crumbling – a liminal space where Basinski’s deteriorating tape loops reverberate around Burial’s foggy, barren wastelands. Chain fraction runs a sighing sonic bath that bubbles with a bittersweet tenderness.

As delicate piano fragments slow dance over a shimmering lake of chained digital pulses and hypnotic, swelling drones, the mood remains fragile and on the cusp of disintegration. Emotionally heavy, with a strong sense of loss, the track circles with a soothing yet sad déjà vu, reeling in waves of nostalgia where every iteration of the melodic refrain reveals a more powerful punch. The music is blissful and pure escapism, but it is blemished with the ringing thoughts that escape may not yet be possible – that, for now, we have to continue slow walking like living ghosts around the endless spirals of Borgean streets.

Across their sea of releases, WHΛLTHISИEY’s music remains touched by an emotional weight, an anxious calmness sailing across lulling dronescapes and drifting ambience, with some featuring spoken word samples which expands any imagined story vignettes. WHΛLTHISИEY has many releases to explore across labels which include ‘Shanthisdeva’ on Fallen Moon, ‘Thisowned’ (https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/thisowned) on Mahorka, and ‘Quiethism’ from Kahvi Collective.

Chain fraction appears on the MEANS compilation album Living Within Our Means Vol 1.

You can explore and support WHΛLTHISИEY’s music on Bandcamp, where you can find a wide range of solo and collaborative works, including ‘THING’, a split CD released through Attenuation Circuit with WHΛLTHISИEY, The Phlod-Nar, el_masmore, and Claus Poulsen.

58, 36 & 20 for the asks x

Thank you. :)

58. if you could time travel, what year would you go to and why?

I think I’d want to see the future instead of the past. While certain things in the past would be interesting to see, I don’t think I could explore them the way I’d want to considering...well, being a woman and whatnot. 

Funnily enough, just the other day I mentioned on Twitter that I wanted to sit in on a future history class where they talked about memes and internet culture. I don’t know what year that would happen in exactly. The farther in the future it was, the more interesting I’d think it would be.

But then, if the future wasn’t all that great, I’d probably be pretty discouraged when I came back.

36. have you ever dyed your hair?

Yes, I spent about two years dying my hair red. It started as a darker auburn color, though I went a few shades lighter as I dyed it.

20. bright, dark, or pastel colors?

It kind of depends. Bright colors can hurt my eyes, but I do really like them in some scenarios. If it’s something I’ll be looking at a lot, I prefer darker colors, but I think pastels are very pretty. (In terms of clothes, I really don’t like wearing pastels because I feel like I constantly get lighter colors dirty.)

Vocab or Grammar

I guess it might depend on the language though I’m not a big fan of grammar :’D In Finnish I like learning vocab, as there are so many interesting words.

Tykkäätkö enemmän oppia sanastoa vai kielioppia?

Se riippuu siitä, mitä kieltä opiskelen, vaikka en oikein tykkää kieliopin opiskelusta. Tykkään oppia uusia suomalaisia sanoja, koska ne ovat mielenkiintoisia ja hauskoja.

How did you get into languages?

I always liked learning languages at school, but I haven’t really self-studied before. I started Swedish by myself a while ago, and then after starting Finnish I became more active with language learning.

Olen aina tykännyt oppia kieliä koulussa, mutta en ollut opiskellut ennen itse. Aloin opiskella ruotsia pari vuotta sitten, ja kiinnostuin muiden kielten oppimisesta enemmän, kun aloin opiskella suomea.

Why are you studying your target language?

Because I love Finnish! :D I started it for purely my own interest and fun. There is still so much to learn than it keeps me motivated.

Miksi opiskelet suomea?

Koska rakastan sitä! Aloin opiskella suomea, koska olin kiinnostunut siitä ja minusta se oli hauskaa. On niin paljon asioita oppia, että se motivoi minua.

Describe your target language as an aesthetic

Finnish is a lot of things to me... coffee in Moomin mugs, pulla, trees, lakes and lots of nature, books that I’m definitely not advanced enough to read :’D

Kahvi muumimukissa, pulla, puut, järvet, luonto, ja monet kirjat, joita en osaa vielä lukea.

Proud moments regarding target language

When I first got through my own barriers and started practicing speaking to myself

When native speakers complimented to me on Tumblr

When I first felt brave enough to speak Finnish in Finland

Watching something in Finnish and realizing how much I understand

Mitkä ovat sinun ylpeitä kokemuksia suomen kanssa?

Kun ensin aloin harjoitella puhumista

Kun suomalaiset Tumblrissa sanovat, että kirjoitan tai puhun hyvin

Kun puhuin suomea ensimmäisen kerran Suomessa

Kun katson jotakin suomeksi, ja ymmärrän paljon

Kiitos kysymyksistä! (ja korjauksista ☺)

it's so stupid that you have to know what you wanna do the rest of your life at the age of 18.

I mean I wanna live in my cabin in the woods w/ my cat or let's start w studying sth nice without s/o asking 'and what you're gonna do with that? how will you make any money?'
