Eliana definitely does forget to eat. It's a side effect of her college days, being so busy studying and working at the same time. She never had a whole lot of time to stop to graduate, but even then she had the bad habit of delving so deeply into her work that she'd nearly pass out in the greenhouse/indoor arboretum before she remembered that a protein bar for breakfast wouldn't last her past noon as active as she stayed. This carried over into the dark future, too, especially since she prioritized Treecko eating first (it made more sense since he was already malnourished and still growing; he had to convince her sometimes to eat even they were running short, so sometimes they would take turns between meals). It's not until she joins the Guild that she gets into a schedule; having dinner at the same time every night provided helped significantly. This helps her fill out her lankier frame, since she's taller than the average Eevee. Lu worries about her when they're traveling a lot, especially after they graduate since they work a lot harder on their own jobs, so he often encourages her to take snack breaks. By the time of TPR she's had to adapt once again since Leafeons don't have to eat as much since they photosynthesize...but even then she's forgetful and wonders why she starts feeling funny and her leaves turn color (think fertilizer deficiencies like yellowing leaves/etc). Grovyle and Dusknoir hover enough to make up for it though. (Dusknoir...your wife is literally a walking, self-destructive house plant, my guy. Hope you have a green thumb.)

Lu would absolutely be oblivious. A couple of the apprentices have harmless crushes on him but he doesn't even notice. He's just so friendly with everyone and expects the same in return to a certain degree that the thought of someone flirting with him just flies right over his head. (I want to ship him with someone so bad but I have no idea who...maybe I need to start brainstorming a new OC...hmm...ideas are welcome. Maybe he ends up needing an assistant at the Guild...)

Honestly? I think Grovyle would be a pretty good artist, although I think he'd be more into sculpting like wood whittling or carpentry or smth, like @sincerely-sofie headcanons (if you don't mind me borrowing that idea, of course). I bet he'd make the most intricate little figurines and the prettiest tabletops/cutting boards/signs. I can maybe see him doing some sort of water color/paint pour-adjacent art style, too, sort of like tie-dying fabrics for various purposes. (He would never admit it but he sometimes bases the color schemes on his team. He doesn't have to though bc they can tell, they just respect his pride enough not to point it out lol)

Definitely canon! While Celebi can and will recall long-term things with relative ease, part of the reason she has to think about it a while is because...well, her long-term memory is very long. Sometimes it gives her a headache to concentrate on things too far back or forward in the timeline, even if it was something she personally experienced, so most of the time she lets her mind go. This gives her a sort of ditsy demeanor, but you'd best believe that she's got dirt on you from your childhood that you were sure no one else knows about. She's just nice enough most of the time not to pull it out of the hat (unless for good reason, of course).

This one...I'm not so sure. (I rerolled a few times bc they were irl-themed, and I stopped here bc it was smth I thought would be interesting to hypothesize). Like I've discussed before, I feel like Dusknoir would be very cautious and self-conscious about his touches after everything. But on the other hand, given enough time to heal and work through his problems, I can see him being a bit more casual in his affection (i.e. pats on the back, brief hugs, laying a hand on shoulders, etc). But full-on wrestling/tackling? That's reserved for Eliana only. He trusts her enough to tell him if he's being too rough, as well as how strong she is to hold her own. Not to the credit of the others, of course, since they're all very strong in their own right (and Celebi is more powerful than Eliana in the scope of abilities obviously, being a Legend), but he just feels more comfortable allowing himself to let the throttle loose more with her (sort of like their habit of playing cat and mouse). Eventually he'd start to pick on her for being so much smaller than him out of affection, like picking her up and tossing her around a bit. He'll scoop her up and start petting her like one would a cat and she'll try to wriggle out of his arms and he'll just keep catching her before she manages to jump back down. He thinks it's hilarious to rub her fur the wrong way, too, but by that point she's tired and has simply given up trying to escape him. The glares she gives anyone else with the audacity to laugh are hot enough to combust.

I found this site that generates you a random headcanon.... How about we do that: you enter the name of a character (or your OC!), post what you got, and then comment on how true do you think it is for them!

Not true. That was very easy.

A03 wrapped 3 and 29

Love you Ames! Prepare yourself for some unnecessarily LONG and introspective answers 😂

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

Blue Blood. Probably goes without saying 😂 however! I'll pick from my one shots too! Of all of them Make Me Come Undone stands out the most. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

It's not just that it's SUPER long, it's not just that it has more orgasms/orgasm descriptions than any other fic I've written, it's not just that it's super fucking kinky and I still kinda blush when thinking about it- it's that it was fucking hard. Sometimes when writing fic it's a straight shot from start to finish, you feel inspired from the get go and that carries you to the end. But other times? You run out of steam. And you feel like giving up. And it gets really difficult.

Make Me Come Undone started off as a side project to refresh me from Blue Blood, as a gift fic for @kissporsche (who was very stubborn about giving me kinks, she was all "but I'll love anything you write!!"). The motivating, main kink I eventually got her excited about was "overstimulation and punishment" and everything else was kinda up in the air. I was keen to start it, inspired to explore it. But I ran out of steam after 500 words. Maybe it was the intimidating factor of knowing how many orgasms I'd have to creatively and non-repetitively describe, or maybe it was the fact that it was meant to be reasonably short but the finish line just kept getting further and further and further away, making progress feel stagnant. I don't know! All I know is that eventually I was at the point of having to either decide to abandon it temporarily, or force myself to knuckle the fuck down and do it. You can probably guess which one I went with 😂

The writing process was a constant game of oh we're at 3k? Probably well over halfway. Oh we're at 6k? Uhh I'm sure it'll wrap up soon. Shit 9k? What the hell is happening?? 12k??? This is getting out of hand???? 15k??????? WHAT HAVE I DONE. Honestly, after we hit 7k mark and I realised there was still so much I wanted to explore, the rest of the process was just laughing hysterically while tears streamed down my face.

As soon as it was finished, I wanted to just post it and move on (it was SUPER DIFFICULT not immediately shoving it under Kissporsche's nose, because she's my beta/muse and I crave her approval ahah) because I'm not a huge fan of editing- I'll give every fic a once over, and when it's really important (like blue blood) I'll invest serious time into it, but I prefer to be diligent during the writing process and re-read/edit sections as I go so that I don't really have to. I also tend to rely quite heavily on my betas 😂 But Make Me Come Undone had gotten to be so big, so fucking monumental, that I couldn't stand the thought of having done SO MUCH work on it, only for it to end up sub-par because I couldn't be bothered to edit. So I sent out a call on the discord to see if anyone would be up for reading it, because @kissporsche wasn't allowed to see it till it was done.

@mortimerlatrice volunteered, and I was like awesome! It's always a little scary getting someone to beta for you the first time--because you never know if your styles will clash, or if they'll be able to work in line with your vision, or if they'll invest as much love/care/energy into it as you want from them-- but I had a good feeling about Mort, who's art I adored. And then do you know what happened? This stunning individual, this saint, this god, went through all 15k with a fine toothed comb like they were being paid to do it. They murdered my commas, tidied my grammar, challenged my repetitions, suggested improvements, provided entertaining commentary, HIGHLIGHTED IT LIKE AN ENGLISH REPORT, poured over each section individually and collectively, re-read it at least 4-5 times, answered all my questions, investigated all my concerns, and spent fucking hours doing it. I was not only blown away by their dedication and competence, but I was personally humbled by their attention to detail and desire to make the fic the best version of itself that it could be. It had been my intention to have Mort edit it, integrate their changes/suggestions, and post it. But after I got that first draft back, I literally couldn't. There was just too much more that could be done to improve the fic, and after all the work Mort had done, I couldn't not do it. So, instead I religiously went through the whole damn thing again, picked Mort's brain relentlessly for various ideas/improvements, genuinely restructured entire sections, spent time meticulously investigating the dynamics/continuity for quality and consent-levels control, and just generally fucking worked some damn magic on that fic over the course of 2 more days, passing it back and forth with Mort, until it was done.

Editing Make Me Come Undone was the longest, most meticulous and most arduous refinement process than I have ever committed to for a single fic. So not only had it been quite challenging and taxing to write, but it had been a monumental effort to edit as well! But I tell you what. When Mort and I finally finished that last edit, and I could sit back and look at the whole thing completely, I have never felt more fucking proud of a fic. I was genuinely, deeply impressed with it. Normally, when publishing fics, there's always a part of me that thinks it could probably be better, or that maybe it isn't really that great, that's just a natural part of my nerves. But with this fic? I have never felt so absolutely, unabashedly confident that it was amazing. I was 100% happy with it. That was the reason I called it my magnum opus- not just cos it was impressively long, but because it truly is the most professionally, dazzlingly perfected fic I've ever written.

Basically tl;dr Make Me Come Undone was a hell of a project, but thanks to the magical talents of @mortimerlatrice, and with a little bit of extra effort on my behalf, it truly feels like the most high quality fic I feel like I've ever written.

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

I'm really terrible at these kinds of questions, cos I don't fuckin remember what I've written most of the time 😂 I remember having moments where I'm writing something and I feel moved by it, or amused by it, or excited about the layers to it, but I cannot for the life of me recall any off the top of my head. The one exception to this is "Better to dance with the devil than wait with god on your dance card" cos @kissporsche specifically pointed that out during their edit 😂

I'd be curious to know though if anyone does have any favourite lines of mine that come to mind? It's always really inspiring to see what impacts people!

Anyway, if you've made it this far I'm giving you a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek for being such a cool fan!! I really appreciate you 🥰🥰🥰

It never rains but it pours

This one consists of a few scenes and a vague idea. 😂 Peggy is sent by Chief Thompson to investigate a reported explosion in Central Park that left some odd markings on the grass. It turns out to be the Bifrost, and Peggy tracks down and meets Thor. She's not sure if she believes he's an alien or a Norse god, but he clearly isn't an ordinary human, and when she picks up his hammer she (a) can't deny that a whole lot of power surged through her, and (b) now Thor wants her to come back to Asgard with him to investigate why she can wield Mjolnir. And then, if that wasn't enough, in the middle of all of this Thompson pulls her off her "dead end" case to investigate a (no doubt specious) report of a mysterious man appearing out of thin air in an alley wearing a strange white suit...

I haven't actually written much of it yet, mostly just scattered sentences, but here are a couple of short excerpts:

---

“What about that gold number?” asked Angie, thoughtfully dipping her finger into the leftover frosting on the cake plate. “I know you only wear it undercover, and sure, it’s a bit more daring than your usual style, but - ”

Peggy raised an eyebrow and set down her fork. “You want me to wear a neckline like that to a party of Howard’s?”

“Right, good point,” said Angie, nudging the plate in Peggy’s direction. “Have some frosting, English.”

Peggy did. “I suppose I could take Ana up on her offer to make me something,” she said, after a moment. “But she’s already got a great deal to do, and I hate to impose on her. I’ll simply have to skip lunch tomorrow and go shopping.”

Angie grinned. “Just tell that numbskull Thompson you’ve got ladies’ troubles and you can take all day.”

“I’m afraid he’d be suspicious,” said Peggy, her lips twitching a little. “I - may have used that one when I was working to prove Howard’s innocence, and you know how that turned out.”

She felt a little sorry for Thompson.

---

“Got something for you, Carter,” said Thompson, as she pulled off her jacket, snowflakes in her hair. “A few witnesses reported an explosion in Central Park late last night. Police triangulated the reports, figured it to be somewhere on the Great Lawn. In the dark, it looked like some kids had set off something, but now they’ve called us in. Seems right up your alley.”

Peggy raised an eyebrow. “Does it.”

“Yep,” he said cheerfully.

DNP Rewatch: 6 Things I Regret Buying - Inappropriate Pickle??

Date video was published: 11/22/2018 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 384

Another video in his “regret buying” series.

0:00 - I still can’t decide if I like that shirt or not. lol, his hair is quite long but I like it. looks like a lot of hairspray required though

0:14 - what WAS that?! 

0:20 - don’t know about that theme tune either 😂

0:27 - oooooo switching it up

0:36 - the first time for this spon, but not the last

0:45 - he’s more positive about the items going into this one...I think these videos are just a chance for him to use most of them and then either get rid of them or shove them in the props box, presumably

1:03 - he had tweeted the pickle advert in September...I’m not sure I want to know what else he was buying that that was a targeted ad

1:16 - he already knows this is ridiculous

1:23 - wtf Phil 😳 the “sorry world” annotation is correct

1:36 - “suspicious” with the eyebrow raise 😂

1:40 - Phil...just saying...lots of words

1:42 - “sorry god” dying 😂

1:46 - I knew I had see this clip in a Phil video before when he posted this short! now I know where!

1:52 - that was a great yodel

2:00 - fantastic facial expression journey

2:13 - “both impressed and haunted” seems accurate

2:31 - of course he did

2:44 - I’m going to presume his French is very bad

2:55 - the vase glass!

3:06 - he kept talking over the pouring but montaged it out

3:18 - that is an intense reaction

3:27 - really not sure it was the best idea to chug what is essentially and entire energy drink, yikes

3:42 - ear tints becoming an actual thing (which he “made up” in the BLINDFOLDED MAKEUP CHALLENGE) was hilarious

3:58 - I’m sure these were marketed at 8-year-old girls; love that Phil is so excited about them

4:11 - great styling there

4:41 - “I’m feeling positively whimsical” I love Phil so much

4:48 - so far he’s rating everything well

4:51 - jesus christ Phil 

4:54 - DNP went to Brazil to premiere the Interactive Introverts movie (1, 2, 3, 4) since they ended up not being able to go do the show there. they also live streamed the Q&A they did

5:15 - it does and it is just generally terrifying, lol

5:24 - love that he’s just keeping the hair lights on

5:30 - NO THANKS

5:37 - definitely not 😂

5:49 - wow, a 5-star item for Phil

5:55 - so much optimism that someday he might like cheese...

6:18 - thinking emoji face and sudden regret when he actually takes the time to read it

6:33 - “guys, appreciate this!” ahahahaha, oh Phil

6:48 - guess Dan had a nice snack for later

7:15 - that last video was all the way back in May of 2017...also, I suddenly just realized DNP had been in the second London flat(s) for a year and a half at this point...I guess the few number of videos there in 2018 because of the tour make it seem shorter

7:34 - that is definitely exactly what they are doing with that disclaimer

7:55 - I continue to love Phil

8:01 - that is a look. he took the hair lights off though, so he must have filmed this clip after everything else...

8:14 - ...and he must have decided they weren’t going to work no matter what

8:22 - yes that somehow went much better than usual

8:37 - the first year there were individual shops, so also the first year of combined holiday shops

9:09 - and he start of Phil also promo-ing Dan’s merch since Dan is not making videos

9:21 - it seems weird for the spon to be at the end of the video

10:30 - “both dramatic and funny” is a perfect description of his last video

These always end up being cute Phil videos.
