do you think you could put a santa costume on a noticeable amount of rats if you had a weekend and 5 million dollars?

[kipperlillycopperkettle]

if i think for too long about how every trio in bahumia fell apart before the band of boobs (and how they died in every time loop before balnor came along) i am going to be sick i think actually

[coolspacequips]

Honestly, Murph is able to tap into such a pure, unfiltered, fully unhinged energy as Jens Lyndelle, it truly takes my breath away

God's favorite mortal but as a curse. A god that would destroy all of creation save for their favorite (un)lucky human. A god that cradles you during judgement day and says "this world is damned; it does not deserve you in it". So often we talk about ruthless devotion of man unto god but not enough about god unto man. When God killed all of Job's children do you think he felt flattered. Do you think he sat there in equal parts abject fear and relief thinking "wow. It's a good thing God loves me the most".

Moonshine casts a spell. Hardwon bends the knee.

The reincarnation ritual, before, and after.

(a two-fer! 1.7k words of mostly fluff, a little angst, and a lot of character introspection)

Have some Hardwon and older Hardwon I doodled while relistening to the episode.

i feel like sharing that naddpod's first campaign is a core memory for me. embedded in the foundations of a period of my life where i was discovering who i was.

to put it chronologically, naddpod's first campaign ended in April 2020: I had graduated school months earlier, leaving dear friends behind; a lockdown had only started and everything was so uncertain; and I had turned 18 literal days earlier, stuck at home.

i cried and laughed and cried over that finale, but despite it ending, i felt emboldened to take on any challenges and discover who i was gonna be.

and damn if it still doesn't hold up, even if you aren't me. I'm so happy everytime I hear about someone experiencing that uproarious cathartic finale — we've gone through it together

this may be a dimension 20 blog in name, but Bahumia holds the most special place.

i'm on the second-to-last episode of the first naddpod campaign and honestly it's making me a lot more sad than i thought it would.

i started listening to it as something for when i couldn't be watching dimension 20 or didn't have wifi, but ive really grown attached to these three chaos gremlins of characters and i don't want their story to end.

(i'm assuming the crew gets new characters when the next campaign happens? no one spoil it for me if i'm wrong though cause i want to be surprised. )

forgot to post this yesterday but uhhhhhh tldr naddpod has consumed my life and i am channeling that into a marcanne eldermourne au which will mean absolutely nothing to everyone save maybe three people but hopefully i can translate the au well enough that yall enjoy it anyways

plain text under cut:

“You don't have to do this," Marcy bites, her voice coming out weak and betraying her own fear. "I am your daughter."

"And my own daughter should have known better," her father says in return, with a practiced sigh. "If you tell us where your friend went, perhaps we can reconsider."

Marcy only grits her teeth– her father, surely, can read her own conviction in her eyes.

Truthfully, she was not supposed to be the one on the altar today. When her father learned that Marcy had been learning magic from Anne – Anne, the kind and gentle girl with the silver streaks in her fluffy brown hair, who had been just as much of an outcast as Marcy herself was in this village, who did not have to study in books to light fires and animate objects and could just do it naturally – he had offered Marcy alternative paths but said that Anne had to die, had to be executed, for her bad influence.

How could something so pure as Anne's magic be bad? Marcy, at the age of thirteen, does not understand.

But she had made her choice. She had made the choice in the form of stealing the generous wedding dowry her father had prepped for her, shoving the bags of coin that had been saved for her eventual nuptials into Anne's arms, and she had told Anne to flee, to escape. Marcy had assured her that she could talk her father down.

Marcy was wrong. And now Marcy is going to die and she is going to die knowing that the last time she ever saw her beloved best friend was in the form of fearful eyes tearfully leaving her behind.

a response from creacherkeeper that reads “okay i know you reblogged this from me but “literally cosmically-defined not cut out for greatness but you simply have to save the world anyway because we need you to and there’s no one else” is something that can be soooooo #also taking a bunch of early 20 somethings who don’t have family or whove never had friends #and saying #love each other and care for each other and protect each other like your lives depend on it #because not only do they #but the fate of the whole world depends on how well yall can work as a team #family by fate #god. #im unwell about this game #library of lensa

i was formerly annaryanrose and i would post dimension 20 episode highlights every week!!! (i revamped this acc for fhjy)

this is a primarily dimension 20/dropout blog but naddpod and worlds beyond number and other nerd shit will sometimes seep in!!

on the topic of my ig fan account (@figtheinfaethable) i tend to repost things from tumblr to instagram. i’ve been debating how to do this as ethically as possible. i have and will continue to properly credit everyone. i have made absolutely no money from this account. i do not and have never intended to steal anyone’s content and if this makes you uncomfortable in any regard feel free to block me :) my goal is to share other’s opinions, theories, and jokes to a different audience to recap community reactions to d20/dropout news and content as well as relate to other members of this lovely community!! i don’t repost anything over there that i haven’t reposted here so there’s a possibility of i repost a text post of yours, you will revive a dm from me asking permission to repost your content, please say no if this makes you uncomfortable. thank you so much!

feel free to dm if you want to talk about ANYTHING but esp. d20! i love chatting!

i care very much about queer and trans spaces and keeping them safe especially as someone who works in education in fl.

i love you all endlessly <3

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @starstruckpurpledragon, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

315

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,163,434

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently predominantly The Flash (TV and Comics), though I have written a couple of The Adventure Zone fics, one Naddpod, and one Ghosts (BBC) this year too, and I've written one or two other things. I've been writing fic for a bit

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. Crossed Wires - The Flash (TV), Barry/Eddie (prompt fill for a Misunderstandings prompt in a Barry Week)

2. Mis-sent - The Flash (TV), Barry/Cisco (college AU texting fic)

3. "Just sleep in my damn shirt" - The Flash (TV), Barry/Eddie (a short prompt fill that does not even have a proper title)

4. Milk and Sugar - The Flash (TV), Iris/Caitlin (coffee shop AU that changed to a pre-canon canon divergence that ended up a 12 fic series)

5. Digging Out The Hole - The Flash (TV), Barry/Cisco (an episode 1x16 AU again featuring some fake dating and some Rogues)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! I appreciate all of them therefore I like to say thank you

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ashes to Ashes, it's part of the collaborative Marvellous Ladies of DC AU with @agentmarymargaretskitz where the ladies of DCTV get to be all the heroes in a MCU AU and this one is part of the Infinity War one so there is a very large amount of character death

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I like writing happy endings so that one's a little tricky, but I think I might nominate Stargazing (DC comics, Barry/Iris/Hal), since the start is not quite so happy

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

I have but it's a rare occurrence

9. Do you write smut?

Nope! On the sliding scale of sex favourable to sex repulsed ace I generally slide between neutral and repulsed and usually fall at forgot sex exists again until I get a question like this. I do sometimes read the smut bits instead of just skipping now, but I have to be in a very particular mood, it's not a common thing, so I don't think I'll ever get closer to writing it than implying some might be going on somewhere

10. Do you write crossovers?

I have, though not for a little while. I might still have (very brief) notes for a Legends of Tomorrow/Librarians crossover somewhere though. Maybe one day

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I had someone ask if they could once but I don't think they ever posted it, and this was quite a while ago

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yes, the previously mentioned Marvellous Ladies of DC AU.

14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?

Barry/Iris probably? That's the one I have been writing to fill the Year of the OTP prompts, and I'm pretty sure these poly ships appear because I like ones like Barry/Cisco and Barry/Hal, but I also Barry and Iris together, so now they all get to be a part of this

15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The Wally Fic, my Flash TV s2 AU where Wally becomes the Flash (because Barry did not survive his first encounter with Zoom). Perhaps one day, but it's been just sitting as part of a first draft for a long time now not getting very far. I might just cut it into scenes and post what I have when I have an end I'm happy with but I've also been saying that for a while and still not doing anything so who knows.

16. What’s your writing strengths?

I don't know if I really think about strengths, this is just for fun, but I often feel I write more dialogue than descriptions, so maybe dialogue?

I've also had a few people tell me I'm good at writing AUs which I am very flattered by and very happy they like them. I just enjoy myself messing around with how things could go if I change that bit of canon or sometimes trying to see if I can make a plot work in another genre instead, but it's very nice when people say they like my messing around and encourage me to do it more.

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

Describing body language. Especially during conversations, like a pinched nose or stuff like that, I'm often not sure how to phrase the motion and don't know if I put enough in.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Mixed. On the one hand, it can throw you out if suddenly there is a large passage in another language you're meant to still be able to understand as easily as the first bit, so I think if it were a full conversation I would still write in English and use the dialogue tags to indicate it's another language.

However if the point of view character has, say, my Spanish levels where I can pick out words and get the gist of some bits but not necessarily understand everything I might write that part as Spanish with the missing words and have the translation as the point of view character trying to work out what they just said.

I have also written characters swearing in French (as a "pardon my French" joke. The opportunity for a bad joke will trump everything else always). I hated my French teacher at school and dropped it for Spanish as soon as I could and I'm really, really bad at French, but I do know Merde.

People who have managed to become fluent in multiple languages are so cool. I don't know how you all did this.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

It was a very short Sherlock/Doctor Who crossover where Sherlock and John get zapped by Weeping Angels and end up at Victorian Edinburgh University meeting someone named Arthur. I panicked about posting that so much

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

This is an impossible question always, but since I haven't got a gen fic mentioned here yet I really enjoyed writing The Questing Flower (Flash TV), which is a fantasy AU centred around Iris West. She's on a Quest to save the Moon (and maybe her best friend along the way) and no one's managed to do this in the past 500 years they've been trying, but Iris is going to try anyway.

There's so many fics I've really enjoyed writing though, I don't think I have an all time favourite. Ghosting (Flash TV, Cisco/Hartley) usually gets an honourable mention at least though.

Tagging @agentmarymargaretskitz @squireofgeekdom @alittleflashvibe and @spectralarchers and anyone else if you fancy it?

My #1 post of 2022

very happy with this little doodle so i'm posting it on its own too (reference image)

[ID: A digital drawing of two bears eating salmon. They are both submerged in a pond to their shoulders, with paws above the water to hold the salmon, and look a bit soggy. The bear on the left is brown, and the bear on the right is pale yellow. The image is drawn in a sketchy style and looks like it was created using Microsoft Paint. It is surrounded by a brown frame /End ID]
