WIP ask game: 👻 and 🍎

Thank you for the ask, my love! ^_^

👻 ghost: can you tease some wip ideas that have been haunting you/something you want to write in the future?

Hmm, yes I do have dreams. I think usually, however, my writing is like, totally spastic. I write whatever I'm feeling in the moment, which is actually why I have so many unfinished fics. If I let something fester too long without ending it, the odds keep going up that my focus will stray and suddenly I'll be eyeballing something else lol.

I would really like to finish my bethyl fic afterglow as I was really dead set on finishing that one. I literally have maybe one or *possibly* two more chapters to write. It's not off the table. The problem is I'm now completely consumed with Team Delulu and all of our current escapades and adventures 😂

With my Dragon Age stuff, a lot of my old Solas and Arlathan lore is quickly finding its expiration date lmfao because there is now a new game in which we will see actual backstory and canon events from what happened in Arlathan. I'm not saying this means that canon divergence becomes invalid, but I think it would lack an interested audience, so idk if it will ever happen, but I have always wanted to write some about the events of Solas's life during the Great War, and his rebellion, and his love story with Mythal, via my canon for The Dead Season. Like the events that happened after Solas's teenage years in Teen Wolf and before he made the Veil. I love all those characters a lot, like Solas and Abelas and Mythal and Solas's mother Leanathy as I've written them. I would probably possibly have like three dedicated readers on this and maybe that's all I need lol. Anyway, my hands are full at the moment but never say never!

🍎 apple: let’s talk about friendship in your wip. do you have any favorite friend/platonic dynamics? any friendships gone sour?

In my current most active wip, which is Riptide for Dragon Age/Solavellan, there are lots and lots of friendships which are going through all sorts of dynamic changes due to Sene's volatile state of mind. Sene's most important friendships are with Sera and Dorian, both of whom are very present in the story and who are constantly trying to find the balance between comforting Sene in her time of need but also making sure not to coddle her obsessions and her intense denial. They are trying to get her head on straight, and she knows this and loves them for it, but sometimes, it's too much, so she runs away and hides to nurse her wounds alone. In my fic, I've also done some development of a friendship between Abelas and Thom Rainier, as well as Solas and Cole. Cole is pretty much the only person that Solas can open up to while he's sequestered at the Lighthouse, at least until Sene starts letting him into her dreams again, which is happening soon. The only friendship in Riptide that has seemingly soured is that between Solas and Abelas, though I have only explored that indirectly so far...

FUCKED UP SHIP BINGO: hanwenzhou?

Can't believe I got three (3) almost bingos for my boys and couldn't quite get there 😔

[sawthefaeriequeen]

I can’t figure out if your boops are actually on, but if not, consider yourself booped 😆

boop right back!

[majicmarker]

You seem like the person to ask, since you’ve written a lot of very good fic in another fandom without bogging yourself down with the rest of that show’s canon ridiculousness before. 😉 How fucking confusing would hellcheer fic be to read if I have never watched Stranger Things and have no particular intention to do so in the future? For science!

Took an unintentional break from tumblr, came back, and this pairing is ✨everywhere✨ on my dash

GORL u know this is what i’m here for 🌈💫

tbh, i can only speak to my work and the handful of authors i read (i just don’t read much fic for various reasons, yadda yadda), buuuuuut…

keeping that in mind, and FOR SCIENCE, obvs i recommend my stuff (humility is useless and i rock) + my ao3 bookmarks (ik i have a couple recs that i haven’t bookmarked, too, i’d just need to check out my subscriptions) — and i don’t think any of those should confuse you, bc 99% of the aforementioned doesn’t involve the canon sci-fi stuff, so basically what you come away with here is john hughes and/or romantic comedy and/or just point-blank Good Shit romance.

i’ve never gotten past the s2 premiere of stranger things, meanwhile eddie & chrissy don’t show up ‘til s4, and i’m out here writing fic for them based solely on their five-minutes-and-change scene (and, like, ~vibes), so if i can write it without much concern for overall canon lore, you can definitely enjoy reading it the same way.

(and, natch, my dms are always open if you have any questions/need some more clarification!)

Beth Greene for the bingo?

send me a character and see if i’m insane about them ✨

Top 5 ask game - Xue Yang faces (Untamed specific)

oooh this is a fun one and gave me an excuse to go through all my (many, many) Untamed screenshots

1. His smug/cheerful face when he and Xiao Xingchen are having their meet cute first meeting in episode 10.

this is a man being pursued by a cute boy and having a fabulous time with it. just did a whole ass mass murder and is very pleased with himself. I love him so much, you guys.

2. The absolutely unhinged expression he makes when Nie Mingjue is about to kill him.

the face of a man who is ready to die having accomplished his Intended Goal and very nearly laughing in the face of it! love Xue Yang's fucked up relationship with death and love to see it here

3. The "this isn't fun anymore" face from his last argument with Xiao Xingchen.

he expected to be enjoying this moment! and that is in fact not what is happening, at all, and he's not happy about it and really does not know how to cope.

4. This absolutely lovesick stare.

never mind that it is at a corpse! Shhh. Irrelevant. Minor detail. He's going to be uncorpsed any minute now.

5. Bloodstained and dying/dead.

look, I know, I know, and it makes me cry also, but it is, incontrovertibly, a good look on him. I say, while crying. it's a complicated emotion

A lonely few bush beans left after the first harvest, these guys weren’t ready yet so we’ll see how they do the next few days. I’m struggling with being able to tell where the beans are gonna come out when I clipping. It seems like they are usually the middle of two leaf stems and the third (middle) produces a bean, but I’m just not familiar enough with beans yet to know so I’m worried I may have pruned some been stems!

Does anyone have any tips for me about the growing process to help produce a larger crop? I felt like this variety (Blue Lake Bush 156) bushed out so fast with a LOT of leaves but then only produced about 10 beans. Is this normal? I use organic fertilizer when needed and mix my own soil using compost, manure and seed starting mix usually - all organic. I had this particular bean in a 5 gallon grow bags with 1 other bean plant. The other bean plant produced a little better but I felt it was even bushier and leafier!

It’s been a good experience but I would like some beans for all my efforts.

Top three children’s book series you would recommend a kid get into?

Chronicles of Narnia – nothing like the ‘sit around the fire and hear a story’ feeling of these books

Ramona Quimby series – Beverly Cleary was once asked when these books take place and she said the answer is simply “childhood” and she was absolutely right

The Dark is Rising Sequence – let’s see: questing, Arthuriana, mythology, Eldritch abominations, sleepy villages, ancient Welsh hills…I think this is one of the best “gateway to fantasy” series around

soft, stay at home ask game: 1 (you’re always making playlists but I assume there’s a fav), 12, 14, 21, 26 (can’t resist lol)

1. your favorite playlist (made by yourself or someone else)

gorl you’re RIGHT i make so many, truly impossible to pick an all-time favorite, so let’s ~get into it~ a little bit—

- all of my book playlists are very dear to me, and the one i made for jailbait hits every note i wanted it to. it’s SUCH  a vibe, it hits directly into my soul, the whole kit & caboodle. (also true for devil may care, and while i don’t have the corresponding book done yet, the music’s definitely going to help me capture what i’m trying to do here.)

- my upbeat country is peak summertime soundtrack

- my hip-hop is rly The One that’ll get me ready to participate in social gatherings and events

- 😑😑 ...songs that are def abt eatin p*ssy, i’m pretty sure is probably my best title (censored only bc spotify was bein weird abt that for a minute, i think??). also v useful for gettin in the smut-writing ~mood

...i have upwards of 30 playlists, so i’ll leave it at that for now otherwise i’ll be here all night. 

12. if you could make a candle that smelled like anything, what would you pick?

answered here, but here's another!— ykw i think anything i’d really want to smell is available as a candle already, so... @ The Powers That Be, can i get a discount TJ Maxx candle that smells like my soulmate or what? inquiring minds would just like 2 know

14. an artist (of any kind) whose work you look forward to seeing

@agentmmayy is nearly out from under the oppressive thumb of higher education, @carry-the-sky is working through her existential crisis (the girls who get it, get it), i am forever *eyeballs emoji* in @hangon-silvergirl’s dms, it’s always a treat to see @chrissy-n-eddie in my email notifs... i’m missing a couple (but i also don’t know everyone’s urls, if applicable!!!), but i’m completely Enamored with each and every one of them. go-to rereads, and they continue to slap with the ferocity of one of those novelty sticky hands, yk what i mean, love ‘em.

21. a youtube video you find useful, entertaining, or relaxing

answered here and here, and off the top of my head that’s proooooobably it? i don’t venture into online videos in general too often. 

26. the film you watched most recently that you could watch again and again

i am currently in the throes of a big-time law & order: svu rewatch, who’s got time for FILM
