Hi!! I've been a lurker + fan of your fics since like. 2020 and as a writer myself, I always admire how you do your descriptions and worldbuilding... do you have any book/reading recs that inspire you? or tips?? and this is also unrrelated but I'd love to hear about what current wips you're working on!!

whjkwhkhww come off anon and talk to me plz, thank you so much for reading my fics??? i'm in shambles anon you are so kind know that i am psychically beaming you a hug

oh boy uhhhh worldbuilding and descriptions. tbh that's less a function of what i read and more a function of what i enjoy. i'm a big proponent of mundane joys like cooking and eating and dressings up, so i feel like it stands that those things tend to reflect the most in my writing. tbh i feel like i struggle with balancing worldbuilding/description with plot because i tend to hyperfixate on the small details, but a lot of people like it??? so i will continue trucking on

so if i had to give any advice, it's like. fall in love with some part of living, and then try to narrate what it is that you love about it. i love the writing with fountain pens because drawing ink into the reservoir makes me feel like a witch mixing potions, and i love baking because that first slice of my spatula through the dry and wet ingredients crunches so wonderfully, and i love wearing mamianqun because the swish of my hems when i walk makes up for the struggle of dripping over them when i go up stairs. little things like that really bring your writing to life

in terms of reading recs for things that have inspired me, i have to say. 90% of it is other fics. there are so many fics that have inspired me over the years and i always try to analyze what it is i love about them in terms of narrative structure, use of language, etc. uhhhh that said i've had my fingers in a lot of fandom pies over the years, and also i minored in english so i'm like. a little bit fussy about my analyses. that said:

if you want some beautiful prose, my favourite book of all time has to be This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (yes, the bigolas dickolas one)

a great example of narrative voice and unreliable narration that i love to bits is Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, it's so different from the movie and is SO funny.

aside from that, lately i've been rereading Anne Carson's Eros the Bittersweet, which is a literary discourse on the depiction of desire in the fragments of Sappho + later poets.

my current wips... there are Many. i am trying to play cleanup with them and i've been bouncing across ten different wips, not to mention the abandoned ones that are never seeing the light of day again. rn the main wip is this is our eden-in-flames, a direct sequel to within the ruins of me which i finished last year. i've also got a smattering of other wips in the ruination series, a few misc ffxiv fics, and a smattering of hsr fics.

once again, thank you so much anon ;-; good luck with your own writing endeavours!

Omg, I saw the newest Clovis post and I got so many things in me brain. 1. Titles. The Knight seems to have a fondness for them. While Sif used them to distance himself, to make interactions impersonal. I think Clovis might use them more as the others see nicknames. If you're important enough, then you get a title, you embody something. Like there are many housemaidens, but Mirabelle is the housemaiden. She's the most important one. He'll still use their names, but it depends on what context he's thinking in. And also, I think they'd be both different from Siffrin's titles and change more often (depending maybe on context), be more personal. Something the person in question might like to be called themselves, since he'd have more time to develop them. Just an idea. And imagine Loops reaction, when the knight waltzes in day one... 2. In a sense, one of Siffrin's flaws was giving up too easily. In a sense, one of (the king) Clovis' weaknesses is not knowing when to stop. Now, stay with me. I believe that the stagemaster would be quite offended that they'd bring a child to fight them. (They truly are fools!) So much so that they might specifically engineer situations where the child might 'accidentally' put the others in danger (Or themselves, Oh what a foreseeable tragedy!). It would be too boring if he just let the saviours walk through the house, uninhibited. Clovis decides that, perhaps they should not bring a child with them into the house. For as much as he respects their unshakable spirit, bravery in the face of the unknown, they are yet just a child. So he would go about convincing everyone, including the child in question that *maybe* they should be a little stricter about this actually... Yeah but there's no convincing Bonnie. Bonnie has already made up their mind, and Bonnie is a particularly stubborn child. So, the knight. Being multiple loops deep of failed persuasion tactics. (And very many loops in general. Loop being quite unhelpful, very often seems to try and deliberately get him killed.). Decides that it would probably be easier to convince the others that Bonnie decided to not come along than it is to convince them. Deciding might be a strong word. It was more so cold anger doing the decision for him. He did not have time for a proper funeral, so to the sea they returned. Or the lake... Clovis can be good at lying. Especially when people want to believe him. So he continues. If it works, then it was a sacrifice worth making. And if it doesn't then it will be undone soon. ... 3. The head housemaiden! Is that the one who knows Clovis is looping? Will he see her darkless hair, and wonder? Will she say something else? Also Is Clovis inciting wish different from Siffrins? Is it even that which has trapped him? 4. Will Clovis tell the others about his timeloop? He pledged his alliegance to Mirabelle, and anything that could be useful in defeating the stagemaster she deserves to know, no? I imagine he would tell them until starts being just a time waster. When there's no new input or ideas they could give And he decides to tell them on the last loop, when he's figured out how to save Vaugarde for good. Sorry for such a long ask, and basically writing fanfiction for your fanfiction. But I love your au, It's a delight! I can't wait to see more.

I'm delighted people are thinking and also rotating thoughts in their head about all of this! Don't apologize for essentially writing fanfic of a fanfic - this is the fans domain, baby! If the version of Clovis you might have/think of might differ from what I think of, and thats okay, that's the intent, really.

Yeah, Clovis likes his titles, but since the Party was all 'nooooo call me by my name' he respects their wishes so he'll call people by their names (though he does interchangeably refer to them by formal names and occasionally nicknames, ex: he calls Bonnie Boniface and also Bonnie...and also maybe Bon-Bon. )

Not knowing when to stop (and get help) is a good way to refer to Clovis. Though, if i'm reading this right here, I think you're implying here that he'd hurt someone physically to keep Bonnie from the House. I think Clovis would rather die than hurt someone from the Party (or intentionally deny someone their purpose, in this case, Bonnie being Snackleader.) You know, Universe leading and we follow (even if he can't always remember the phrase). Universe led Bonnie to being Snackleader, and if Bonnie being there is causing issues...then it's Clovis' job as protector to 'figure it out, idiot' it IS, however, very in character for the Stagemaster to fuck with people by engineering situations where one of the Party Members quirks/mannerisms causes them to trigger a trap or something.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b4ULg131PM This is all info i'm planning to answer later :)

Maybe. I think it's fun to give Clovis a Siffrin characteristic, as a treat - instead of 'I can't say anything about the timeloops because then they'll hate me', it can be Clovis going 'I should be able to handle this on my own, I don't want to burden them/imply to them that i'm struggling, then they might see me as a burden and not worth the trouble'.

Thank you so much for the interest! And as an added reminder, again, we are all in the same fandom boat together, and while Clovis is my creation (and even then, while he's technically an OC, i'm trying to be very specific with him as an extension of the King's themes and ideas) it's like - have fun with it, if you have an idea that has your head spinning a blorbo like a rotisserie chicken, you don't need the creators approval to make stuff, or to theorize, ya know? Like how Insertdisc5 has stated that if any of the party members were Looping, they'd figure that shit out easy and solve the loops in practically no time at all...

But if everyone adhered to that way of interacting with the text, we wouldn't have cool AU's involving the other characters looping...Including one of my personal favorites and a big inspiration for me to post my brainrot publicly to begin with, Sharkylass' 'In Repetition and Change'!! Go check it out! Do it! Do it!! I love the way they interpret Isabeau as a character and peel the guy apart to examine him. And to think! If we were completely concerned about being 100% canon all the time, we wouldn't see cool shit like that! Their AU gave me a new way to look at Isabeau and I love that!

" hey , uh . margarine ? "

oh , it's creecher ! coming out of her hidey hole like the telltale annual groundhog , except the only portent she brings is .. apparently a pair of bickering italians . sorry . one italian and one very - not - italian - american .

.. wait who is that dude with peppino --

" got some sort of timeline issue . i figured you might be able to help with it . " one hand emerges from her hoodie pocket to jut a thumb back at the two .

Margarita was just window shopping again, she been doing that a bunch recently, i mean there were a BUNCH of neat things out there! She rarely got out to visit town in her own timeline so maybe-

" hey , uh . margarine ? "

Oh! Creech! No one else called her that nickname besides Creech!

"Yeah?-"

She turned around, thinking she would only see Creech, but she saw Sacch and.. who? That was someone she never seen before. She stared at the man bickering with Sacch, He looked weird and.. mean looking? Was that mean to say? What the hell were they all saying? She could hear Sacch's, this stranger, and Creech's voice but it was all just pass one ear and the other.

"C-can yall speak one at a time i-i can't focus with yall bickering. Please-"

001 The Simpsons!

Favorite character: Of course it’s Lisa Simpson. 🤣 When I first started watching The Simpsons, I was really intrigued by her character, and she grew to be my favorite character ever!

Least Favorite character: It would have to be Elizabeth Hoover. Lisa’s teacher at Springfield Elementary School. I just never liked the woman, at least with Edna Krabappel, who seemed like she didn’t like Bart. The thing was, she did actually care about her students and Bart, unlike Miss Hoover, who really doesn’t give a rat’s ass about any of them and has actually bullied an 8-year-old just because she felt like Lisa was a show-off. (Granted, Lisa can be a little full of herself at times, but she’s just a kid, and Miss Hoover is an adult who has personal issues and is taking them out on a little girl.) (Hehehe, I really info dump when it comes to a character I don’t like lol.)

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Lisa and Jessica are my OTP forever and ever! And I could go on all day about why I love them, but then I wouldn’t be able to talk about any other ship lol. I like to ship Lisa with the twin weasels ( I affectionately call them this and like to think Lisa does too 😂), Sherri, and Terri Mackleberry in a polycule V-type relationship (no incest), with Lisa as the hinge. (It probably goes without saying that I also ship the twins’ separately with Lisa too, and it’s usually Sherri. 😆) third pairing (yes, we are counting the twins’ as just the second ship, okay? They’re a unit right now, so I can say more ships,😂) would be Lisa and Allison. I love to think that if they had stayed very close friends, it would have turned into a friends-to-lovers situation, and I just think their relationship would be very cute and sweet, and they would grow old together. And my fourth pair I fancy is Lisa Simpson and Francine Rhenquist... You all are probably noticing a pattern... And you’re right because I have a thing—a thing for shipping Lisa with bullies... I just think she can be a bully whisperer and tamer, okay?! 🤣 And now, last but not least, my final and fifth pairing is Allison Taylor and Hubert Wong. I just think these two are too cute for each other! And they are just two cute little nerds in love. (Shout out to my sister @twisting-echo for getting me into shipping these two nerds).

Character I find most attractive: Groundskeeper Willie hands down! Have you seen that man without his shirt on? Absolutely beautiful~ 

Character(s) I would marry: Kang and Kodos, two one-eyed aliens, just for little ol’ me lol. 🤣💕💕💕

Character I would be best friends with: Professor Frink. I always loved his character and his zany antics.

A random thought: I once had a random thought about making a fic where it would be an AU where everyone had animal-like features, and I had wanted the whole Simpsons’ family to be cats. 😅🤣

An unpopular opinion: Oh, boy, here it goes... My unpopular opinion is that I really haven’t liked how they have written Marge in the newer seasons of The Simpsons. Just some of the storylines they do for her feel like they’ve done it a thousand times before, and it’s gotten old. And I have never liked how they have made it so that Homer has no problems bonding with his daughters, especially Lisa, but nothing with Bart. The same goes for Marge. I never like how in some episodes she can’t bond with her daughter, but honestly, it’s the writing overall because they always make either Lisa an asshole to her own mother or Marge is the asshole. Just why can’t they have cute bonding episodes for the whole family like what I’ve seen in Bob’s Burgers? 😭

My canon OTP: I wouldn’t say OTP, but I had always thought Comic Book Guy and Kumiko’s relationship was surprisingly cute and sweet. 

Non-canon OTP: This wouldn’t be me if I didn’t say it was Lisa and Jessica, now would it? Yessss, they’re my little babies! This ship is very dear to me; it’s been my OTP for years. 🤣💕💕💕

Most badass character: Gina Vendetti. I love her and think she’s a little badass. I also love to ship her with Bart. She’s his scary Amazon girlfriend who terrifies everyone around her lol.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Milhouse and Lisa; just no, I have never thought they worked well together ever! It's just sad to see him pine for someone who does not like him at all. Seriously, it was a running joke that Lisa settled for him, and that’s just sad. Millhouse deserves someone who actually cares and will love him, and Lisa needs to be with someone she’s not settling with because it’s all she’s ever known, and she knows he won’t leave her because he loves her too much and it’s just not healthy or fair to either one of them. (I love my girl, but she has to let him go so he can move on).

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I have never liked the slow decent at which they have taken Lisa’s character in how the show writes her. Back when the show first came out, she was intelligent, kind, and passionate about the planet and all living things. Mind you, she is still very intelligent, but they have taken some parts of her personality and turned it up to an 180. She is flawed, which is why I love her, but over the years, they have made her more of a snotty brat at times who throws her intelligence in people’s faces, and it doesn’t seem like she’s that kind anymore, and most of what she rebels against feels performative and hollow now. She could always be somewhat intolerant of opinions that differed from her own, often refusing to consider alternative perspectives and showing a feeling of self-righteousness. But it feels like that’s how she is all the time now, and I just haven’t been a big fan of what her character has become.

Favourite friendship: Now I’m going to completely talk about a “fanon” friendship since The Simpsons didn’t give me it in the canon of the show. I mean, sure, I could talk about Millhouse and Bart’s friendship, but sadly, while I like it, it is not my favorite, and the truth is, sometimes they abused each other more than they were good friends with each other lol. 😂😅 No, I’m going to talk about a friendship between Lisa Simpson, Allison Taylor, and Hubert Wong. I always thought it would have been nice for Lisa to at least have someone who was her friend in the show, someone she could bond with, just like Bart with Millhouse. But no, they have always made her a loner just for the sake of writing that not a lot of people like her in Springfield (poor baby, 😭) and they wasted the potential of Lisa and Allison’s friendship. In the show, they always show Lisa as a miserable adult who’s so bitter about everything. I like to think she would have grown up a little differently if she had at least one consistent friend (not Janey; Janey was just as bad as the twins’ with the way they bullied Lisa). And honestly, it would have been nice to see her hang out with two other people who shared similar interests as she did, and it just would have been cute. I definitely have more things to say about their friendship, my sister and I have made up in fanon over the years, but that’s definitely for a different post lol.

I’m so sorry that this is soooo long. 😂 Once you get me started on the Simpsons, I can’t stop rambling like a mad woman about it. 🤣 Thank you so much for this ask. This was so much fun to write out.

for maintaining that emilia isn't religious, i sure have spent a lot of time tonight going down a dnd rabbit hole of deities that would be good candidates for who she could have aligned herself with when she was younger / starting on her path of becoming an assassin within the crows guild / pre events of bg3 ....

What does Marg think of Holly? :3c

WELLLLL funny enough marg doesnt really know the antonblast cast- i do hc peppiblast does happen i just dont see marg ever meeting anton or anyone who lived in boilercity (and holly is basically a au version of margarita lol!)

But if she diddddd i think she would sorta be scared of her, due to her aggressiveness and how she treats others, but sorta want to be friends with holly- MEANWHILE HOLLY would actually sorta like her. I mean she has a lot of love in her heart. But she actually still sorta dislikes her bc of her view on people.

((Ok. I FINALLY put my inbox asks in my drafts to tackle later. I've given each some quick attention and stored them for later until my brain can conjure a better response!

[stephofromcabin12]

which of your lc ocs (aside from steph) is your favorite to draw/write for ?? i think theyre all SOO cool i love them lots

GASP!!! I couldn't possibly choose one. That's like Sophie's choice if she had 24 children!!!!!

It's Matthias. No particular reason. He's just really fun to write and draw. I don't draw him a lot but I think about drawing him a lot. He's also one of the campers that has weirdly specific faceclaims I can't share because I feel like it's weird. But I notice it.

Cassandra is a close second.

The rest fight for the third place but no one wins for very long. Pretty much everytime I write for one of them I go: "oh, I've missed out on writing them, they're so fun, I should write them into scenes more!" Except there's 24 of them and I can't justify writing that many of them into each scene lol.

🎨🐻 for crafter asks!

thanks for the ask ^-^

🎨What is the one craft you think looks amazing, but could never do yourself or can't get the hang of?

never got the hang of knitting, to be honest ;-; i've tried to learn from my mom a bunch of times, and there was a little bit when i was about ten or so when i could knit in flats, but anything more complicated than pure purls has always been beyond me

🐻What is the cutest thing you have ever created?

i'm sure i've done other really cute stuff that has entirely slipped my mind, but here's mr giraffe! i picked up needlefelting during the height of the pandemic and occasionally come back to the hobby here and there

ohhh ann-doreen … 24, 30, 32 :]

[Simpsons OC Ask Game]

24 – Aside from their home, is there a specific place in Springfield where your OC likes to spend time?

Well, I'd truthfully say she likes going to the prison's visiting room to chat with Snake very often... But I feel like she deserves me giving some other answer LMAO

I can see her going to some sort of café or bar as a semi-regular,, probably the Hard Luck Cafe. Besides the title being very fitting for her (rip) well, the vibes of the streets it's in feel suitable for it being in the same neighborhood as Ann (and Barney)'s crappy appartment building, and with how exhausted she is in her daily life she'd definitely pick something close to home to become a regular at. Moe's bar feels fitting too, I definitely think Barney brought her here at some point, but she wouldn't like the vibe of the place - and it being a goddamn sausage fest of a bar she'd just stay out of there. You come in once, have Moe say some godawful thing that he thinks is a smooth flirt and you dodge that street for the rest of time. Otherwise she does appear in crowd shots throughout the whole city like most characters from the show :]

30 - Does your OC know the Simpson family? If yes, what is their relationship with them? If not, what would they think of them if they ever met?

Ann-Doreen most closely knows Marge from back when they were in the same Housewife Association, before the big split from that one episode we all know and love [insert imaginary episode number and title in which the association disolves into two groups that wage war against each other, one led by Helen Lovejoy and the other by Sally Cruz] They get along well enough, although they aren't close. As for the other members of the family, I frankly dunno yet. It will depend on the way it goes as I think of more episodes :]

32 – Your OC is either in trouble or feeling terrible. Who’s the first person they can rely on for help?

Well, most of the time* not her boyfriend LMAO sorry girl. She'll tend to turn to her housewife friends a lot (sometimes dragging them in trouble too as a result), but as far as canon characters go it's a bit of a harder question.

Her boss Cora can support her sometimes as long as it's not too big a bother of a favor - as detached as she seems and as hard as she overworks her, Cora still appreciates Ann in a strange roundabout way and will sometimes let her off the hook and get away with things she shouldn't. Otherwise, Ann can get some surprising (?) support from her neighbour Barney who can be a very good listener... When he's sober mostly - but even when he's drunk Ann and her magnificient powers of denial will just decide that he'll listen anyway. Mostly she'll ramble at him and then feel better all on her own, thank him and leave. Even if he's splayed on his couch barely conscious. Her past relationship with Fat Tony can also be convenient. They ended things on a fairly cordial note, and although it doesn't really earn her any special favors with the family, it does make it easier than for most to just go knock on their doors if something is amiss. When a regular gets too pushy and creepy towards her at work, it's nice to go whine to your scary ex-boyfriend about it.

Besides the housewives however she doesn't really have any close friends in the canon roster in my mind yet.

*I say "most of the time" because although their relationship remains mostly static throughout the seasons/episodes as expected and he'll never truly stop Using her, overtime he'll act a bit more like a proper boyfriend and start appreciating her slightly more - thus helping her sometimes. when appropriate for the ep.

Besides that I'm not sure, but who knows what sort of relationship will arise through the seasons in my brain,, :]

"Hey sweetheart! I hope you don't mind me being sorta late! I got you these since I know how crafty you are! There some pinks, blues, greens, mostly all the pretty colors! I don't know what you can use with the jars or glitter, but I know you will use them! Take care of yourself and give your father a big old hug for me!

[smilingmxsk]

Watching Marg do her... thing on camera, Edward decided to chime in with a fun little riddle. "I’m something that is red, lose too much and you’re dead. What am I?" He playfully asked, a smug grin on his face she would certainly hear over the intercom. A simple enough riddle even for her tiny mind, surely! Marg should know. She'd spilled enough of the stuff and it looked like she might be spilling more soon if those punks ahead - small fry unaffiliated with any major players - tried something stupid.

Marg was on her usual patrol around the perimeter. Look out for vigilantes, watch for conflicting powers, clean out the alleyways like one would clean out the gutters if need be. It was a simple task the Riddler asked of her when she was hired on, and she had no problem creating a routine out of it. Besides. It meant she didn't have to hear him prattle on about his GENIOUS MIND or however that went.

Speaking of! Just as she was about to step forward to cave the head of another thug clogging up this section of the perimeter with their presence, the grating screech of a mic coming to life is what halts her in her tracks.

Yeah. Yeah that was a vein on her forehead twitching. She hoped to God that it was a sign of an aneurysm, then maybe she could pass away faster and her employer could assume she was dead. The Fixer simply... points the head of her bat downward to lean on and reaches under her mask to pinch the bridge of her nose with her free hand.

He seriously had to be kidding.
