#im one of those people who has the SPECIAL KIND of hatred for the harry potter series#that you can only get by being a huge fan of it as a kid I feel deep sorrow for everyone who has had such an experience. We all have pieces of media that are formative experiences, that dig in and form our souls in one way or another. This was your childhood. It encouraged you to write. And then to go back later and to see the awful things in it beneath the surface that you'd missed before that were in it... and to have the author become just an utter, destructive-turd has got be be an incredibly difficult thing. I didn't have passion for the series, so to try to understand it when I see people who did, I do a thought-experiment on things that I am and have been passionate about. My childhood favorite film and my (still) favorite single book: The Last Unicorn. That book is a huge influence on my writing and even thought. It has a lot to say about being a mortal vs. hypothetical immortality and the power of honest love. If you've read it, you know. The author, Peter S. Beagle is a rather low-key guy. He was desperately poor for a very long time because people he'd worked with cheated him out of rights to things. I have met him in person and gotten autographs on two versions of the book (text and graphic novel) from him and, oh, my God, he is the sweetest person. He is willing to sit at an anime-con table and *talk shop* with an aspiring writer. I think he's like, the anti-Rowling. Or, you know, the franchise that has shaped me perhaps even more - a series I got into as an adult (and have been re-watching and re-reading lately). Trigun. Trigun and the Trigun Maximum anime and manga (and it's recent reboot). To describe it would take too long, but the gist of it is that it is an exploration of the concept of pacifism vs. justified violence, a series of trolley-problems with extra people and extra trolleys, an exploration of how humans use and abuse resources and each other. Also sci-fi western landscapes, guns, soooo many big ridiculous guns and people who wear way too many belts! This series eats souls, I tell you. And I think it actually made me a better person - more willing to see all sides of any given issue and more interested in finding peaceful and equitable solutions. I know, weird for a series where there are minor villains that wear neon suits and have trains grafted into them and there's a race of beings that lives in lightbulbs, but, yeah. The manga-artist behind it all is, by all accounts and interviews, an incredibly chill guy. Goofy. A geek. It's not a gay-manga (despite what the fandom interprets), but there are actual trans characters. (One is a villain, but is, like the strongest human on the planet and she is not a villain due to being trans, she's a villain because of loyalty to the main and being a part of a group of villains where everyone's testing their maximum strength. One is neutral and their gender is bugs. I don't even think they have a gender in a human sense and it's treated as kind of fluid). So, again, an Anti-Rowling. I do the thought-experiment of "What if they were jerks? What if they turned into jerks?" And I can't imagine it. I just can't imagine if these people whose works have informed my own work and my life experience so damn much fell down some horrible anti-human-rights and oh, lookit me I'm so persecuted rabbit hole. It would be like having my liver ripped out. So, yeah... I'm sorry. It makes sense that it causes a media-trauma-response.

Someone tagged me on Facebook with this today, with the note “Has Entrapta.” I post this with apologies to Harry Potter fandom? I was never “into” Harry Potter, myself. I saw the movies back in the day, but I didn’t read the books and was never a fandom-person for it and was not passionate about it the way a lot of people were. I know that HP is a sore spot for a lot of people because they’d grown up on the books and were so passionate about the story and characters only for the author to become…what she became. I just thought it was neat. I did not make it. I do not know who made it. My friend who sent it to me didn’t link to original source. I think it was a thing she randomly found and decided to save and post because she’s seen Spop and knows what an Entrapta-nut I am, specifically.

Author Interview tag

tagged by: @hi-raethia

name: dane or willow

fandom(s): umm, i’ve written MOSTLY for aftg. but i’ve also got some pynch and wolfstar drabbles. i also follow atla and have strong feelings regarding pjo/hoo, among others. 

where you post: ao3 primarily, but i’ve also been posting some drabbles here on tumblr. there’s a very VERY old fictionpress and ff.net account lurking in the ether somewhere but please don’t try to find it because everything on there is absolutely terrible.

most popular oneshot: gonna put two on here -> it must be witchcraft, an aaron minyard POV fic which is technically a part of the ‘tip of my tongue’ series but can easily be read on it’s own; and everyone deserves a lil snack, a matt boyd POV that’s a post-canon standalone

most popular multichapter fic: that would be say something! i really can’t believe that it has as many views and kudos as it does ^///w///^ 

favorite story you’ve written so far: that’s hard... because i write for myself mostly, with the exception of like.. gift fics and the like but i always write stuff I enjoy so i really like it all x.x but i’d probably have to say the perfect confection, which is actually one of my least-popular fics XD it’s the second entry in my palmetto academy series, which is a very bizarre mashup of AFTG and... Ouran High School Host Club... cuz i guess i’m a fucking weeb?

fic you were nervous to post: definitely pipedream - it takes place during a very slightly alt-canon au and i wasn’t really sure how it would be received ^^; 

how you choose your titles: whimsy. i choose what i think will fit the general feel of the fic, and at least somewhat relates to the content. somewhat accidentally i ended up choosing to use all lower case for more serious fics and Properly Capitalized Title Format for the lighter-hearted fics

complete: since i try to only keep one multi-chapter fic going at a time, most of my fics are completed, even if the series is still open/ongoing.

in progress: let them hear me shout (for you) ....and also Words to Live and Die By which i swear i’ll get back to... eventually...

coming soon/not yet started: well! i’ve got two exchange fics that’ll be posted soon does that count? then there's my RBB fic which will show it's face whenever those get posted.. march-ish I think? also i have my next big project planned/semi-started. it’s an au of the books, andrew pov, where andrew is basically just a gay disaster, everyone is a little softer, and oh -- they’ve all got daemons... because these are the things i like

do you accept prompts?: yup ~ but i’m pretty busy at the moment so you may not see a response to them anytime soon

upcoming work that you’re most excited about: dizaaaasster annndrewwwww with aminaaalllls because listen i love them all very much and i am very attached already and, to quote a friend ~ them daemons be giving you away all the damn time

The Beginning of a Story

Based on this fanfiction

[pwnyta]

Nobody ASKED for any of my shitty Pokemon character doodles... BUT IM IN A MOOD.

SO yall have to deal with it.

This is under a read more so dont come at me about it being annoyingly long. Blame Dumblr. Theres a SHIT TON OF DOODLES UNDER THE CUT.

First off I wanted to give Holly a whole classroom of friends... it wasnt GONNA be an all girls school... but I kept crankin of little girly Mons....

I dont actually have a shiny Darumaka or Eevee... but theyre two of my favorite shinies...

I drew these four after so theyre a bit different in style. Shiny Swirlex has the same excuse as the other two shinies... I just love the shiny colors

They also needed a teacher so I repurposed one of my older characters because I thought itd be funny to have a swan teacher... cuz swans are so scary but they care for their babies well.

Darla and Delilah can be bothered with threats because theyre safe with Mr Shandra.

Mikhail only takes classes that are small enough to fit under his wingspan so he can keep them all safe. And Eva and Tiffany learn from the best and just get pissed off like their teacher.

((Hes more bark than bite though... hes not a great fighter and a double weakness to Electric? Garbo. But he puts up a convincing enough front.))

And because he was a swan I gave him a life mate. The only other being that gets any softness from him.

He was an ex pirate.

Mikhail has no interest in criminals!!! So the captain gave up the pirate life and married a very short tempered bird and gained a lot of weight...because I wanted him chubby.

‘’Spider’’, Esi, and dear ol Dad. Despite Reds best efforts to keep Esi out of Osborns hands he still ended up an immensely shady bastard but at least hes not as broken as ‘’Spider’’.

I didnt finish their moms because I couldnt settle on a design for Spiders mum....

Now Spider works for Caedere his beloved boss who would never ever lie to him ever. (Hint: Spiders nature is ‘naive’)

---

I tried revamping Ray and Hebanon...  but Ray still gay as hell for his boy.

I bullied Sparky a little. He’ll probably be fine even if Rays got a Mega evo. Its the name of the game Ray... hes supposed to knock his opponent out... you cant get pissed when ever Hebanon gets fucked up in battle.

---

Did I post these? Am I ever gonna finish these character sheets? No. And look I forgot the most pressing detail of Zippos and thats his fuckin Arbok mark on his back. IM A FOOL.

Kreetan and his mum and dad.

So many little comic things I’ll never finish because theres too many and instead of just stopping and finishing something I keep adding to my unfinished doodles instead. This is why I dont take requests or anything.

I time where Leif and Cyndy actually grow up?

THEY ALL HAVE CAT EARS.

Zippo is curious.

.....AS A CAT.

Polly is here too!! And shes ready to punch someone RIGHT IN THE NOODLE.

I also thought itd be nice to draw out some other Chars of Zippo and Crizs generation.

Theyre.. as you may have guessed are not finished yet.

Clem is a timid lad, Mira... not so much. Very brave

Addy is a modest princess type

Jubilee is a sassy lass.

And Criz. A sweet bashful boy whos never done anything wrong and certainly will not die because no one would be cruel enough to let that happen.

((EYES EMOJI))

Babby Clem, Addy, and Jubilee.

WHO’RE THESE ASSHOLES?!

---

Updated Mistletoe. One spooky righteous(in his own mind) lad.

She only looks stoic to start... but shes quite the weirdo.

She just got here and shes ready to go home. What a mood.

Now for some less polished individuals....

Meh meh meh lookit me IM OMI. Im gonna put three of the exact same Pokemon in the same group so Pwnyta has to suffer tryna come up with different designs.

...But I do like them. I imagine that they remain Ekans because they wont need the mark of their tribe so no one will no where they come from. So spooky.

I was torn between the codename ‘Sundown‘ and ‘Daybreak‘ for Crobat.

By day hes a wholesome trustworthy priest... by night he tortures people for a shady shady bug man. He’ll determine if youre truly innocent.

Doc has to deal with all these fuckin weirdos... he just wants to be a doctor... BUT AT WHAT COST DOC?!

This is a sequel to the doodle comic I was makin in a previous post... Kop and Doc develop an interesting friendship (In Kops mind. Its more a ‘stalker with a crush’ situation) But hey if Kops not being paid then hes got no reason to hurt Doc.

...Docs a fun character to bully because hes so smarmy and small.

---

AND NOW FOR SOME SCIENCE BITCHES.

A man of few words and an intense curiosity with mortal beings and his own existence.

A spooky lad who doesnt quite mean to torment his subordinates... its just his Pressure.

Id imagine his form changes are a bit like Iron Man in IW when hes fighting Thanos.

I drew some more science bitches...

Some casual clothes for the original three stooges.

Shes deaf Franz! She cant hear you.

Ya know IDK if itd be ‘canon‘ that they all met as kids... I just thought itd be cute. Little psychic babies all doofin off together... the most troublesome one being asleep 90% of the time due to being an Abra.... and narcoleptic. Abra sleep so much naturally... Geller sleeps even MORE... thats why hes so incredibly smart even for an Alakazam.

I had a whole little redo sketch comic idea of Mewtwo breakin loose and fuckin shit up.... (its never been finished)

Franz tries to put him to sleep. (it doesnt work. He needs Emanuel and Nola to save him and he gets his arm broken for bein such a cheeky lad.)

Mewtwo doesnt have too much of a problem with Geller due to his soft spot for kids and pure desire for knowledge... but if hes gonna protect the other assholes then PERISH.

Dont worry though big boss Deo wont let his subordinates die let alone the second smartest after him... and saves them all pretty easy. A sharp tentacle arm through the chest will stop even Mewtwo.

Some booboos happen tho...

But hes fine eventually and finds his ex wife home watchin the kids.

Shes promptly expelled.

Geller also goes back for Dilla and steals him. Lifes too short not to adopt an ancient fossil baby.

Emanuel isnt delighted... but he doesnt have the heart to call the authorities on a man who risked his life to save him.

Fossil Mons come in two types-- Resurrected fossils which have the skin color of the primary coloring of their Pokemon form so they can be solid black or blue or red or w/e... Ancestors of ancient Pokemon have normal skin tones.

And another comic sketch idea... where Geller and Roswell are gifted with some fancy new Mega stones... Ros? Not too keen on the idea hes seen what can happen to a bitch when they Mega Evo... he aint got time for that. Geller goes HARD for SCIENCE.

Ros: Geller I know your a spoon guy but stick a fork in that bastard cuz hes done. COOKED. If he thinks im riskin my ass for his bullshit. Lets go tell him off together (im scared to go without you...)

Geller: We experiment on living things all the time for the sake of scientific progress.... are we really too good to be subject to our own studies?

Ros: YES. ABSOLUTELY.

After seeing Geller use his without hesitation, putting his body through a world of hurt for the sake of SCIENCE!!! Ros couldnt pussy out on his boy...

His Mega is just FABULOUS and now he loves it.

--

I was also makin a team with the Pokemon that have the highest stats (non Legends/Psudos/Megas) but I got bored after Blissey. She has a Togekiss wife I didnt finish either... Oh well.

Shes a bold lass and prefers double battles with her support wife. She doesnt like using dangerous moves as its in her nature as a Blissey to heal.

---

(I forgot his whiskers... OH WELL)

I wanted to give Flaminio some people who missed him after he got spirited away by his Ghosts.

After he disappeared people looked for him but he was never found and years and years went by and people stopped looking. Even Clove and Ceto had to move on.

Koban is a loyal bitch though and he never let it go. He still wants his friend back. Hes an old boy now... so old people probably call him ‘Nekomata‘ and wonder when his tail is gonna split.
