I’ve wanted to know more about your stories for YEARS 🙌 tell us about the Elena Mia Riley story and the Lia Necklace story

Thank you 🥰. These are some good choices, because I probably have the most thought-out lore for them.

Elena Mia Riley story

So this is probably the oldest of any of my stories. We're talking like junior high here. The main characters were originally twin sisters who were witches (probably thanks to Twitches) and the characters had names/appearances based on kids from school and even Gossip Girl. Safe to say the story and characters have evolved a great deal since then, but I do still have the twin sisters. I just focus on the one and her family more.

This one is set in like a real/non-fantasy world (though some character jobs may be) and it's a multigenerational family story. I have so much backstory and details going into these characters that I have no idea which point in the story or which characters I would actually choose to write. So it's mostly just me thinking about different points in the different characters' lives.

The three names in the title are these characters:

Elena Francesca Bertolini Espinosa: Daughter of Italian-American actor James Bertolini and Colombian-born model Liliana Espinosa Hernández. She has a twin sister, Alicia. She marries her high school sweetheart Tyler Bennett, who becomes a pro NFL quarterback. They have four kids (a son and three daughters) and later four grandkids. She is a fashion/costume designer and activist/philanthropist, especially for women's and immigrant rights. Overall, she's a smart, fiery, kind-hearted, open-minded woman and a very protective mama bear.

Mia Grace Bennett: Youngest daughter of Elena Bertolini and Tyler Bennett. Growing up, she struggled a lot with feeling different because she was a quieter kid who didn't do as well in school as her siblings or really fit in with her family. She also is the only blonde in her family, so other people and paparazzi would joke that she wasn't really her parents' kid. She saw her mother as perfect too, and since she didn't see a lot in common between her and her mom, it really hurt her self-esteem and their relationship. She was definitely a daddy's girl, especially with being the youngest daughter. As a kid, she got into dance and that grew into her greatest passion. So she became a professional dancer, doing a variety of different dance styles and gigs. Eventually she gets a love interest, Chase Parker, who she has an on-off relationship with for a while and then later they have a daughter who she in turn has a complicated relationship with.

Riley Elena Bennett-Parker: Daughter of Mia Bennett and Chase Parker. Granddaughter of Elena and Tyler. Her parents were never married, and she was the result of a them running into each other after like four years of not seeing each other and then hooking up. She loves both her parents, but while she has a really good relationship with her dad, she has a more complicated one with her mom. Mia herself isn't famous, even though some of her relatives are, but Chase is a well-known actor. Because of Mia's issues with paparazzi and invading her and her family's privacy growing up, she doesn't want Riley to go through the same thing, which she definitely would with her famous relatives, her actor dad, and the circumstances of her birth. So they try their hardest to keep her paternity a secret from the outside world, which as you can imagine does cause some strain. She is also a passionate individual like her mom, but she puts her efforts more into protesting and activism for things like privacy, personal rights, and other political issues.

Lia Necklace story

I'll try to be a little shorter with this one. This story idea probably sprouted from reading the His Dark Materials books by Phillip Pullman back in high school. This one has also evolved and continues going through changes as I develop the lore. Unlike the first story, this has a fantasy/magical/sci-fi aspect to it.

We'll start with the lore part of it. So at some point in time there was a group of scientists who found a way to separate people's bodies from their souls. I don't know the how, but it works like one of those X-linked disorders like color blindness. The people they did this to started aging more slowly once they reached adulthood, lived longer, didn't get sick, could only die of natural causes or taking off their special item, and other health benefits like that. But the way they were able to separate the body and soul was to tie the soul to a special piece of jewelry, like a family heirloom. The families who were part of this had the jewelry chosen, and then as they died they had to pass the jewelry on to the next generations. I'm working on the idea of there being like some sort of ruling or governing body that oversaw the project and the people affected. At some point, the main government shut down the project and didn't let the scientists do this to any more people. However, these families already affected still lived on and were forced to follow new rules from the ruling body. Like they couldn't let normal people know about them and they could only marry and have kids with other people like them, both for secrecy and because they didn't know what it would do if a special and normal person had a kid. The ruling body watched over the special families and we would learn later on that there are consequences for violating their rules.

The two big characters I go back and forth between as the main one are:

William "Will" Masen: Raised mostly by his mother because his father and younger brother died in a car accident where they lost their jewelry when he was a kid. He is a "special" (term TBD) like the rest of his family. His special object is a ring that's been passed down through his family. He falls in love with a normal woman, Beth. Although he knows he shouldn't be with her and is afraid of the consequences they'll face, she is not afraid to take the risk and they eventually get married. He faces the same worries when she gets pregnant, because of what could happen to them and the potential of a half-special child. They have a normal son, Andrew "Drew". Three years later Beth ends up pregnant again and this time they have a daughter, who because of the X-chromosome nature of his condition, is now a carrier/half-special who is affected a little differently than a full special and gives him even more to worry about. After four years, his wife suddenly gets sick and dies shortly after. He never remarries, or even really tries dating after her death. He just puts all his focus on protecting his kids and keeping his family together. He is a talented singer/musician and works giving private music lessons. As the story progresses, he's going to learn long-held family secrets as well as the circumstances/causes of his wife's death.

Amelia "Lia" Masen: Daughter of Will and Beth Masen. Younger sister of Drew. She is a carrier/half-special, which means she had to start wearing her special item (a family necklace) shortly after birth rather than at a year old and that she'll die quicker than a regular special if her piece of jewelry is taken off (because her soul is caught between her body and her special necklace). She loves music like her dad. She's also a bit of a jaded and moody kid, because of how young she lost her mother and how protective her dad is and how her brother gets to be normal while she's the way she is. I'm still debating on the idea of a love interest who's normal but learns her secret because he knows about the special people through his family. I don't know the circumstances yet, but a plot point would be her at some point getting her necklace forcibly taken off and her loved ones having to save her.

15. something you learned this year

Oh man. Did I learn anything? I think I somewhat learned how to flip back and forth between two ships while working on projects. I got back to writing Stydia this year which I thought would be much harder to do than it was? I feel like I isolated the ships/ fics I was working on better in my mind, haha, which I'm generally pretty terrible at. Normally I have issues separating characters' voices in my head if I'm trying to write for 2 different fandoms at a time.

21. most memorable comment/review

Lol I don't know if this really counts but the comment my beta Fer left on the end of this most recent chapter saying "I think actually you should end on this [much angstier] scene." I literally had to snapchat her to make sure she hadn't been body snatched 😂

24. favorite fic you read this year

Oh, I'm totally hooked on @esteriivy's new cruise ship Christmas au Splitting Tens. If you missed it, go read it it's fabulous.

end of the year fanfic asks

[pancake-breakfast]

AoT is a masterclass at turning character tropes, and Levi is a prime example. When you first meet him, it's easy to go, "Yeah, I can see why he's popular," even if you're not into that whole "badass who doesn't play by the rules" character type.

But that's not why Levi's popular.

Let me tell you about the scene that won me over to Levi. It didn't happen until episode 22... so, yeah, spoilers for that ahead, but I'll try to be gentle with them.

At this point, the Scouts are nearing the end of the 57th expedition beyond the walls. It's a failure. They didn't get to their stated objective. They didn't capture a titan shifter, which was their hidden objective. Instead, a LOT of people died, including nearly everyone in Levi's squad. Erwin has sounded the retreat and the Scouts are loading the bodies they find onto carts and heading home before any more titans can find them. It's apt that this episode is called The Defeated.

Then there's these guys.

They're probably relatively new to the Scouts, and they are apparently part of another Isayama trio... one that we never quite get to meet properly, because by the time we do during the retreat, one of their number (Ivan) is already dead. And they are desperate to retrieve his body.

Erwin vetoes that. Not only does he veto it, but even though it's known Ivan is dead, Erwin orders him to be put down as MIA. 'Cause, you know, "missing in titan-occupied territory" somehow looks better to the higher-ups and investors than "died in the line of duty."

But these guys are insistent. Ivan is (was) their friend, and he's only one of five missing bodies. Surely they can do it for Ivan's family. Erwin and the other senior members remain firm, reminding them that if they go to try and retrieve this body, the Scouts might sustain more casualties. Even Levi steps in and, in his own way, tries to deter them. He doesn't get in their face about it. He just reminds them that they know his fate, and that's enough, because dead is dead regardless of whether you have a corpse to bring home.

Ivan's friends are ordered to let it go.

But they don't listen. After hurling insults at Erwin and Levi for their seemingly heartless action, these guys go back to retrieve Ivan's corpse. And they succeed! They get the body of their friend and come to rejoin the main body of the Scouts...

...but, of course, they attract the attention of the titans as they do.

And now the titans are coming after a weakened and wearied Scout force doing its best to retreat to the walls quickly, and through territory that lacks the tall trees of the giant forest or any large buildings, towers, or walls that would allow them to better utilize their ODM gear. Not only that, but as these two friends flee the titans, they first lose the corpse of their friend, and then one of the other friends also dies, and then the last remaining guy (Dieter) almost gets his head chomped before Mikasa manages to save his ass.

So Levi reads the action Erwin needs him to make and makes a call. It's not a decision he makes lightly; for a brief moment, Levi looks back at the titan, trying to determine if he can take it down. Then his hand goes to his leg, which was injured in the earlier fighting, and he knows they have no choice.

In order to lighten the loads on the wagons and allow them to outrun the titans... they need to dump the bodies.

So now, because of the lack of foresight of these two guys desperate to retrieve Ian's corpse, their trio has become a solo act and no one is getting to bring back the corpses of their friends.

It would be within all rights for the higher-ups (ANY of them) to slap Dieter with a court martial for disobeying orders and/or allow the rest of the Scouts to beat him senseless. Which, TBH, is what I expected Levi to do when I saw him approaching Dieter a bit later when they finally have some breathing room (and probably what Dieter thought, too, given how he starts to apologize when he notices Levi is there).

But that's not what happens.

Instead, Levi approaches this shell-shocked kid who just lost his two best friends, and he hands him a Scout crest, telling him he tore it from Ivan's jacket, and that Dieter should keep it as proof that his friends lived.

And Dieter instantly melts.

The thing is, the patch was absolutely not Ivan's. We see Levi rip it from the jacket of one of his other dead squad members much earlier in the episode, back before all Dieter and his buddy tried to pick a fight with their commanding officers over retrieving Ivan's body. Levi didn't tear that patch off for Dieter. He tore it off for himself. But he sees this kid standing there, lost and hollow, and he knows what Dieter needs right now isn't a dressing down, but an act of kindess.

So he gives up a little piece of his own comfort to look after someone who isn't part of his squad and who just cost the Scouts sooo sooo much. Because that's what Dieter needed in that moment.

Yes, Levi's a badass... arguably, the biggest one in the series. (Despite his height. Yes, I went there.) But what makes him a fan favorite is his compassion for those around him. The way he goes out of his way to look after them and take care of them. He's not stupid about it; if he'd tried to fight the titan chasing them while injured, chances are he'd have just become another casualty, and he knows that's not worth it. And his brusque way of phrasing things doesn't always quite hit the right tone. But in the little places, he still puts effort into showing that he cares.

That means the world to those who follow him. And that is why he's so popular, both amongst the fans and amongst the Scouts themselves.

This has probably already been said, but I have to talk about the courtroom scene and why it was a fantastic introduction to not only Levi, but Erwin too—and their relationship.

So we first meet Levi in the heat of battle. We see very quickly the type of fighter he is—confident, but not overly so. He has a strong command of himself and the people under him. He’s The Guy.

Then Erwin shows up and announces they’re pulling back—Levi immediately argues this. We might assume Levi is being set up as the guy who ~doesn’t do well with authority.~ You know the type. He does his own thing. Doesn’t play well with others. Chafes under orders. He’s too big and too important for all of that!

This impression continues when Eren meets Levi and Erwin in the dungeon. Levi is rude and mouthy, and Erwin’s chastisements do little to curb this. Levi’s confidence and skill give him authority issues…right?

So then we move to the courtroom scene, Eren’s trial. Erwin says beforehand that he has a plan, but we’re told nothing more. We see him propose to the court that Eren be given to the Scouts, and he says nothing more.

Levi is the one to scathingly go after the MPs during the debate, pointing out the flaws in their plan and how likely it is that they’re trying to save their own skin. First time viewers might assume that, again, while Erwin is a charismatic leader, he doesn’t go far enough. Levi is the one to say the quiet part out loud, to go to the places Erwin’s too ~respectable~ to go.

Then things start to go sideways. The court’s favor seems to be turning against Eren and the Scouts, fear and paranoia winning out. Eren is getting desperate.

Enter Levi.

And we get this glorious scene. Levi convinces the court that Eren is harmless to the likes of someone like him. Their best bet is to do what Erwin asked and give Eren to the Scouts. Please.

(Notice how Erwin is not shocked, nor does he try to stop Levi.)

Now again, to a first time viewer, this scene feeds into our preconceived notion of Levi. He’s the guy who isn’t deterred by silly things like rank or authority. He saw that things weren’t going Erwin’s way, so he took matters into his own hands. Maybe Erwin will be mad about this later, but Levi will shrug and roll his eyes and say “but I got results, didn’t I?” and Erwin will have no argument for that.

…Right?

Cut to the next scene, after the court has granted the Scouts custody of Eren—and Erwin’s like, “sooo…sorry about that. We had to make it look good.”

This whole thing was planned by Erwin.

The scene was more or less staged by the Scouts. Erwin wanted to present himself as the calm, collected leader with clean hands. And Levi was the one to do the dirty work, be the brutalizer—even though it was all on Erwin’s orders.

He’ll play that role. He’ll be the rogue, the rough one, the problem child, because his personality fits so well into that niche anyway. But he does it because Erwin wanted him to. If Erwin had wanted him to stand nice and quiet the entire time during the trial, if that’s what needed to be done, Levi would’ve done that instead. He’s not looking to get results; he trusts Erwin’s methods and does what he’s told.

And in this case, he was told to beat up this helpless brat. Gladly.

(How much do you want to bet one of the MPs said to Erwin after, “you need to keep your dog under control.” I would simply implode.)

Like, if this display will land anyone in trouble, it wouldn’t be Erwin—it would be Levi. Levi’s the one who got violent and mouthy during a military trial. He broke rank. He attacked the defendant. Erwin isn’t, ostensibly, responsible for this at all. Levi willingly put himself in that position because he trusted Erwin.

And so everything we thought we knew about Levi is turned on its head! Eren even says so in the next episode—he expresses surprise that Levi’s so diligent about following orders.

Eren, silly boy, assumes that being skilled means you don’t have to take orders from anyone. But Levi does. It’s his whole character. (Notice how, despite him ending up being the oldest member of the Scouts, he’s never in line for Commander? He’s the hands, not the head.)

And this whole thing provides so much insight into Erwin’s character as well! Pyxis says at the beginning of the episode that Erwin is very straight-laced. Well, by the end of the episode, we can see that’s…not quite true.

Erwin is conniving, willing to play dirty, do whatever it takes, to get things to go his way. All while keeping his own hands clean, maintaining the image of the honorable Commander. He simply uses the tools at his disposal (Levi) to do the dirty bits for him.

It’s a fantastic introduction to the Scouts, their leader, and his right hand (or is it the left hand that does the dirty work?)

I was tagged by @kylermalloy for this WIP game—share the last line of your WIP you wrote, then tag as many people as there are words in the line. Thank you, my love! ♥️

This is from a Stydia fic (of course). The line is spoken in a conversation between Stiles and Lydia, but I won't divulge who says it for now

"We can't be over before we even got started."

Tagging: @stydiashipper11, @yourenotdonefighting, and since the line has 10 words and I don't know 10 writers, anyone else who wants to do this is more than welcome😉

[join-the-club-weve-got-jackets]

Now I'm curious—tell us what you know about Supernatural just based on tumblr osmosis 😂

I know this ask is old (sorry!) but I just had answered another one with a similar question if you're interested in seeing my knowledge of SPN.

[aeruthien]

@kylermalloy and the last one!

Keyleth First impression Baby girl. Must protect at all cost.

Impression now Power woman. Protects everyone else at all cost.

Favorite moment Whenever Keyleth has this awkward nerdy interest, like Vax's wings.

Idea for a story Keyleth, Vex and Pike go on a spa day. They talk about love and life. Just the girls bonding would be great.

Unpopular opinion Keyleth is not perfect? Is that an unpopular opinion? I feel like because Keyleth (and Marisha) were so unfairly criticized in the past, it is now almost impossible to have any form of critique. I do feel Keyleth's faults make her much more interesting as a character than if she were perfect.

Favorite relationship Keyleth and Vax, with Keyleth and Percy close second. I love the supporting bond she has with Vax regardless of romantic intent, and her friendship with Percy is very wholesome because they are so different.

Favorite headcanon Keyleth likes to turn into different animals when she feels anxious because their forms make her relax and experience the world in a different way, which is sometimes easier to handle.
