[that-was-anticlimactic]

how am i supposed to choose a favorite story of yours when i literally adore everything you've written skgfkdh ummmm let's see,,,,

do this thing is definitely one of my all time favorite fics ever. it's literally absolute perfection i will not be convinced otherwise. also i know you just posted it like two days ago but. there's a whole lot of power in every single word like,, it was SO GOOD and i already know it's going to remain one of my favorites. and i don't think i'll ever be over the getting together at the kfc which on one hand. i can't believe you would do that to me. but on the other it's so poetic which fits perfectly for that fic. and then ALSO a friend is still a friend is absolutely iconic and i adore it.

anyway i could sit here for hours listing all of the things i love about all of your fics but that would be a very long ask so i will leave it at this skdhfdj ily and i hope you have a good day today 💕💗

gRACE DO NOT MAKE ME CRY UYTFDRSXFGYUHIJOUYGFT ILY

do this thing was all thanks to you, bestie, at our thursday dinners <3 wouldn't have come up with the idea without you <3 but no it warms my heart that you like that one because i wasn't sure if i could do korrasami or varrick justice and you know how i love varrick oiuhgfcghuji

uhygfghuji i'm glad you like tawlopielw (wow long title OOF) !!! i made them kiss at kfc just for you <3 no like i'm not joking i did kfc solely for you it was the first place that i thought of and it had the right amount of syllables and the angst that only we would know about oiugyftdgyhu but also this one is kind of thanks to you too because i think you were the one who was like "can't believe you made an enemy in 364" iuhgyfghuijo and then i joked about it and. then it uh. it happened iuygfgyhujiko i almost included a part in that one where jet tells zuko not to read the response and then he does and jet references the "this sign can't stop me i can't read" meme that you sent me iouhgyfhujikl

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh literally. so glad you like afisaf because i actually did Not like it when i posted it iugyfghuji i was Very Terrified to post it tbh and the fact that you like it makes me 🥺 i love the frenemy-ship potential between jet and sokka,,, so much,,,

ily i hope you're thriving bestie!!!

do this thing

there's a whole lot of power in every little word

a friend is still a friend

[that-was-anticlimactic]

uhhhh how about gravity falls?

favorite character

omg this is so hard ummmmmmmm,,, okay. i'll just go with the sticker on my laptop: bill cipher. idk what to tell you, i love the way alex voices him, dreamscapers is my favorite episode and i practically have it memorized, he's so clever and he is such a good villain. he also makes me laugh a lot.

second favorite character

DIPPER !!! that was the struggle from the first question ! dude is just trying his best. literally just wants knowledge and everyone around him is unintentionally actively making it difficult and i know that is kind of an oxymoron but i am Correct. he's so awkward (mood) and funny without trying to be and just like. i would want to be his friend. like, i wish i was as good of a sister to my little sister as dipper is to mabel. also he's always the butt of jokes and like... i feel that... me too, buddy lol

least favorite character

pacifica's family :) do i need to elaborate ??? i hate her parents :)

the character I’m most like

most people said i'm like mabel, and i can Definitely see that ! i just think that the biggest difference between us is that she is like super obsessed with romance and i didn't even want to date in high school because i didn't want to waste my time (as bad as that sounds lol) and also she is very extroverted and confident and. i am not either of those things :) then again, mabel has a pet pig and i Love pigs... also she Would make friendship bracelets. so, honestly, i think i'm a mix of dipper and mabel lol

favorite pairing

tbh i don't ship anything in that show, and that's kind of one of the reasons why i love it so much? wendy was just an unobtainable summer crush that would never be able to actually happen and all of mabel's romances failed because she wasn't emotionally mature enough to be in a relationship yet. the show is about family first and foremost, and that's something that i really love about it:)

least favorite pairing

ummmm i mean, anything with incest or pedophilloic ???i don't really have any strong opinions about ships in the show ???

favorite moment

ooo this is literally So Hard. okay, the first one that comes to mind tbh is in sock opera when bill is taunting mabel and is like "who would risk [it] for their dumb sibling hahhahaha" and mabel just has that oh moment and goes "dipper would" and then ruins her own play for her brother... ugh it gets me every time. but i also love that moment in dreamscapers when they first get there and the whole conversation with bill... God it makes me laugh so hard. then there's the moment in scary-oke when stan is like "kid, i've always known" AHHHH EMOTIONS !!!

rating out of 10

i Want to give it a ten, but imma say nine solely because of the "hey mister t*mmy" "hey mister stan" "eat the cracker" moment i hated that. hate that word too ugh

send me a series and i'll tell you my...

[that-was-anticlimactic]

1 & 14? 💞

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

so i answered one here, but i will absolutely choose Another one

imma say there's a beauty in the fall for this one because it made people Angry and i enjoyed that. also The Fall ™️ exists and it is called Coping and once i have time, i Do have a follow up chapter started, but it can read on its own lol anyways, it was therapeutic and just fun to write in general and i love reading everyone's angry comments🥰

p.s. @girlfrogger recently drew art for this fic and i have Not stopped staring at it, so everyone should go look at that, follow clara, and cry over how amazing they are at art <3

14. a fic you didn’t expect to write

i also answered this one here, but i will absolutely choose Another, haha!

so imma so a friend is still a friend for this one because um. it kind of got very much so ahead of me? like. it came out of Nowhere and suddenly 13.6k words were written.

for context, i knew i wanted to write something like this for gen week, but i was working at camp and had a Very busy schedule which was essentially 7:30am-7:30pm and thought that during the fourth of july break we had (which was longer than our usual days off), i would just write something small. and um. that did Not happen. it took off and became this huge giant thing? and it's also like a personal favorite of mine? like, i Definitely forced my insecurity about my pigeon tic in there (and that was when it was a rare tic lol) and indulged myself with my jet headcanons and it ended up being entirely from zuko's perspective which i did Not intend to do and just. yeah. i wrote it in three days too oOPS so yEAH long explanation over haha

fanfic end of the year asks

[that-was-anticlimactic]

23, 66, and 73?

23 - stranger, musical big fish

"my father told me stories i could never comprehend / in every tale he'd claim to be the hero / i've tried to understand him / but i wonder if i can"

66 - monster, frozen broadway

"i'm making my world colder / how long can it survive? / is everyone in danger as long as i'm alive?"

73 - dogfight, musical dogfight

"no you can't give in and you can't play dumb / when you get thick skin / then you're quick to numb / if you let them win then a dog's what you become / at the dogfight"

[that-was-anticlimactic]

i am giving you 8 & 9 as well 😌❤

8: a character that i simp for (and i'm unashamed)

i mean... y'all... sokka... like, let's be real... Sokka... my love, my bestie... i have said on Many occasions that i would morally disengage for him. i definitely simp for him in fanfiction, in the show, irl, all the time. i love him. so much. and i am Unashamed of my love for sokka

9: a character that i simp for (and i'm ashamed)

spencer reid from criminal minds iuygfcxgyhu i regretfully admit that i wrote a cm reid-centric fanfic... it was So Bad, y'all. i was writing it to prove a point, and luckily it never left my google docs... but i somehow wrote FORTY-THREE PAGES OF THAT GARBAGE anyways. i cosplayed as him for halloween 2019 with no shame, and i probably wouldn't feel shame cosplaying him now, but him being my favorite cm character is Definitely basic oops,,, the amount of reid-fics i read in 2019,,, shame,,,

[that-was-anticlimactic]

hmmm how about top five (or top ten if five isn't enough skhdfdk) sokka moments? <3

i love him so much thank you i love talking about him

1. sokka's master has a lot of amazing sokka moments, but my favorite of them all is when he kneeled before piandao and told him that he wasn't worthy. it just. it gets to me a lot personally and i think it just says a lot about sokka's character. he always acts cocky and proud and sure but really... he's just an insecure teenager forced to be a solider who genuinely doesn't think he's worthy because he can't "fly around" like everyone else. it's just. i love him.

2. when sokka talks to toph in the runaway and confesses that he doesn't remember what their mom looks like but sees her in katara... like. that scene makes me feel so many different things, especially as an older sister, and you can tell that he just loves katara so much.

3. sokka in the aunt wu episode. literally will not choose a specific moment. not only is he so funny in that episode, but like. sometimes it's just a mood. that part at the beginning of the episode when he's walking in the rain just. yeah. sokka, sweetie, i adore you. plus that's the episode when he gives aang his flirting advice...

4. the moment in winter solstice part one when he runs out to help aang... like... God that moment gets me. this is one of those moments when you've seen how much aang has grown on him and how much he's willing to do to help his siblings, because that's what aang becomes

5. that moment in sokka's master when he claps his hands and goes "shopping!!! :D" like. just that moment. no deeper meaning.

6. during the final battle when he's holding toph's hand and he sacrifices his precious weapon for her life and when he broke his leg and his grip was slipping and all he wanted was to keep toph safe and then he fell and hurt his leg even more and just. ahhhhhhhh

7. literally whenever sokka is left alone with aang. specifically when they try to help katara and toph get along. and send katara a note "from toph". literally i just. i love them.

8. when sokka get nervous while trying to explain the invasion plan. wow. do i love him. like. mood, first of all. but also it adds so much depth to sokka's character and just. i love he.

9. literally just. every single moment in boiling rock. i tried picking one specifically but i just. i literally cannot.

10. when sokka tries to flirt with yue and then just. falls into the water. sweet boy.

hello corey! i was busy + struggling with bad wifi & service so i didn’t see the post until this morning BUT how about 🤨 & 🎬 for the ask game?💞

not me forgetting this existed because i spent so much time trying to find a happy line that i completely forgot about this ✌🏻

🤨 Share a line that makes no sense out of context.

The singing from behind him got louder and louder, so Zuko leapt behind a trash can in a nearby alley as quickly as possible, biting his lip. Luckily, the group was so caught up with their song about saving the planet and whatnot that they didn’t notice him.

It was a group of people, a flash mob of sorts (if only it was just a flash mob), prancing about the streets singing some strange song about how the day is “la dee da da” which didn’t really make any sense, but the town was currently under a f*cking alien attack so Zuko couldn’t say much.

that ^^^ is a line from my wip why does it hurt to love you? from our + theo's working boys zukka au :)

🎬 Share the last line you’ve written.

Never in a million years did he expect to be frantically making soup in the old, rarely used microwave in the small break room in the back of Dope Sketch with Shadow.

this line ^^^ is from a wip from one of the prompts sent to me when i asked for writing prompts :) i think this could also work for the makes no sense out of context line too iuhgyvcfgvhuji

[that-was-anticlimactic]

just cause i feel like it, my top ten favorite fics written by @zukkaoru <3

1. it’s nice to have a friend — word count: 6,220 (3/3), mailee

idk why, but this fic got to me. it’s so beautifully and tragically written too. i just. words cannot describe how much i genuinely love this fic, so here’s the description and know that i am begging you all to read it:

“Mai?” Ty Lee whispers into the night.

“Yeah?”

“I’m glad we’re friends.”

2. you’ll find me in the region of the summer stars — word count: 4,078 (1/1), mailee

this one. God. it’s so good. it’s the story of mai, ty lee, and the moon and how the moon is what tethers them to each other when they’re forced to be apart.

3. where fire & ice collide — 7,102 (1/1), zukka

it’s so funny. makes me cackle every freaking time. grace is a brilliant writer, especially when it comes to mai, and this is just. Everything. basically, mai realizes that zuko is hiding something and goes on a mission to find out what that is.

4. this ultraviolet morning light — 86,073 (8/8), zukka

it’s The fic ! i love it so very much, it’s grace’s zukka big bang fic where zuko and sokka end up getting distant and angsty and miscommunication and have to go undercover together and the angst is amazing and the fluff ahhh and the art for it? incredible.

5. i slithered here (from eden) just to sit outside your door — 4,535 (1/1), mai & sokka

this one is autistic mai and adhd / tourettic sokka and their relationship with info dumping. also snakes. and it is incredible and i love it so much and go read it now

6. only if you want to — 11,600 (1/1), kya ii

a beautiful fic about kya ii with sleep paralysis ft supportive sibling and lin and it’s so angsty but so soft and so good and it’s just. it’s amazing.

7. my calamitous love & insurmountable grief — 3,308 (1/1), zukka

zuko finds love poems written by sokka and is angsty because he wishes they were about him (they are) basically and it is amazing and i love it so very much

8. of all the stars, the fairest — 37,200 (7/7), mailee

can y’all tell that i really like grace’s mailee fics? this is their mailee baby written for the 18+ bb that’s a mailee fake dating au and i LOVE IT SO MUCH it’s so funny and so sad but so cute and so. THEY.

9. kiss me s(wheat)ly — 2,068 (1/1), jetru

this is by far the funniest fic i have ever read. like. holy trash, y’all. it cracks me up every freaking time and it’s so cute and so cooky and just. it’s so good. basically, haru has a wheat allergy and jet chews on wheat and they kiss and haru has an allergic reaction. i c o n i c.

10. never been in love (and it’s all good) — 6,710 (1/1), bumi ii /// a little bit of you & a little bit of me — 19,666 (1/1), jinora & ikki

these are tied because i have Not been able to read them yet due to my summer job, but imma start them as soon as i catch up on stuff i missed for. reasons. and have the mental capacity to truly cherish these (because i will Not read them when i am half asleep)

anyways, i know these will be up there as my favorites and i know that grace worked really freaking hard on them, so i wanted to shove these down everyone’s throats ! the bumi ii one is a 5+1 about him coming out as aromantic and the jinora & ikki one is an exploration of their relationship as siblings and boy am i excited to read them and you should to!

•••

okay ! this is it ! my top ten of grace’s fics ! other than the first one, i actually don’t really have an order? i tried to have an order but i am horribly indecisive so. no order.

anywho, just wanted to give my friend some appreciation because i was talking about how much i loved some of these earlier and felt like i should tell you all about how much i love them too !

[that-was-anticlimactic]

how about 1 and/or 13 for the ts asks?💕

1. most annoying tic?

ooooh boy the most annoying tic i have--the one that pisses me off above all else is my rubbing tic. the one that is very much so premonitory urge at it's worst for me.

with this tic, i need to rub certain things like certain parts of my phone screen or the space between the keys on my laptop amongst other things.

it hurts. so much. and makes me make so many typos like an unhealthy amount of typos. the majority of my typos are from that tic. but yeah. it stresses me out so much and makes my fingers sore and hurt. it got so bad a month ago that i like could not type because it hurt so much.

so, yeah. that one is my most annoying tic and i hate it with a burning passion lol

13. what do you prefer, to only have motor tics, or only vocal tics?

i already answered that here, but long story short, vocal because they don't hurt unless i'm sick / have a sore throat ✌🏻

tourette's syndrome ask game

[that-was-anticlimactic]

uhhhh let’s see what fic tropes do i not know your opinion on,, umm how about historical AU or getting snowed in somewhere together?

hmmmmmmmm

historical au—d: not my favorite. i avoid it if i can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.

i do Not like history very much tbh which is kind of what draws me away from it ??? i can handle it in small amounts and i would never write it, but sometimes they are done really well and you don’t have to have a lot of history knowledge to enjoy them:)

snowed in together—b: like it. not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.

i think it is Adorable. it makes me think of this one ninjago lavashipping fic i read once,,, God it was amazing. that was more of a “the storm is really bad and it’s pouring rain and we might die of cold so let’s chill in this old cabin oh no one of us is afraid of storms and there’s only one bed and we’re so cold but oh one of us has fire powers👀” but i think that basically counts

anyways. it’s good when you want characters to just talk. and i love it for that. it lets characters get to know each other better and often exposes fears they may have and provide a gateway to h/c👀

[that-was-anticlimactic]

🎸💖

well, frick, idk if i can do only one for you. like, my immediate thought was true love from frozen broadway and i think you know why ["i played my part / in the plan"] but imma give you one that you don't know as well...

no you know what? i know exactly what song to do.

the road from the musical starry

[that-was-anticlimactic]

corey!!! i just woke up so my brain is still not quite fully functional but for the fictional character thing,,

you remind me of sokka (duh) and also ty lee!! also kai from the hollow, kipo, and luz noceda <3

[i kid you not, i almost just typed “MAI OMIGOSH” instead of grace]

GRACE my heart thank you so much I am so honored I love them all so much ??? they are just. yes. yes I love they. my heart is bursting with happiness and love 💕

[that-was-anticlimactic]

for the ask game: how about mako and hmm,,, you said gravity falls so how about mabel pines?

mako

how i feel about this character: i love him so much ! he's my favorite of the krew ! idk maybe it's cause he's an older sibling or that he has the tendency to take things seriously and i feel that, but i just. i love him very much.

all the people i ship romantically with this character: wu !!! i ship wuko !!! aaaaand that's it iuhgfcgvhjihug but tbh i more of ship queer platonic wuko because i really like aroace mako iuyfguiuhg

my non-romantic otp for this character: mako and bolin !!! i love their sibling relationship and how they interact and balance each other and how mako always does his best to take care of bolin and bolin helps mako find a reason to smile ahhhh

my unpopular opinion about this character: uhhh idk that i adore him ??? when i first started the show, i was under the impression that most people didn't like him which was really sad tbh but i love this kid and i think he's a great character and that he isn't just another version of zuko

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i wish the love triangle between mako and korrasami didn't happen:/ i hated every second of that. and the part where he and korra kissed even tho she went on a date with bolin was just oof that was awkward.

~

mabel pines

how i feel about this character: i like her ! i went through phases with her where she was my favorite gf character and then she was my least favorite and then she was moderate, but at the end of the day, she loves her pig and the way she and dipper interact is precious and wonderful and she's just really fun :)

all the people i ship romantically with this character: no one !!! she is v young !!! like the only people her age to ship her with are dipper (which... no), gideon (again... no), pacifica (which like i get enemies to lovers but i don't like it), candy & grenda (i just can't see it tbh), aaaaand that's all i can think of.

my non-romantic otp for this character: mabel and dipper !!! i love them !!! but on a nonsibling note (because i uhhh have said lots of sibling stuff so far lol) mabel and stan !!! i love that they bond over not being the "special" one or the smart one and that they feel comfortable around each other and just... yes. they.

my unpopular opinion about this character: uhhhh hmm idk if i have any unpopular opinions about her tbh... i'll get back to you haha

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i wish that she wasn't so focused on finding love for half of the show tbh
