#no one will probably get this but idec this was fun to make

[white-weasel]

Eleanor trapping Logan is SUCH a delicious concept oh gosh

This woman recreates Jigsaw traps for fun!! She has the skills and the creativity to make some for herself!!! I get the point of her character was supposed to be the fake out and maybe making her someone who *actually* traps people undercuts that but idec!! I think it’s interesting if she doesn’t do like. Full scale Jigsaw activities, but does want to keep the legacy preserved and if that means trapping the new Jigsaw killer, by God she’s gonna trap the new Jigsaw killer

And honestly I know a lot of the fanbase has issues with Logan being an apprentice/the way the movie frames him as being, like, The Best Apprentice Ever in that he taught John his philosophy and also followed it after his death which arguably he doesn’t! John’s whole thing was that his games are rehabilitation, while Logan wanted revenge for the murder of his wife. We can talk about John’s philosophy vs his actions and the hypocrisy of a lot of his traps of course, but at its core he at least *believed* he was giving his victims a shot in his games. Logan, on the other hand, *knows* that he’s not giving Halloran a “fair” game as evidenced by the raw ass exchange of “John Kramer gave people a chance to win the game, a choice.” “You have a choice, scream or don’t”

This then ties into how we get the Saw fanbase back on our side with Logan as a character: instead of that flashback he narrates at the end of Jigsaw being actual canon, we show that that was his *perception* of his time and interactions with John Kramer, but really he’s an unreliable narrator. Something interesting to me about Jigsaw is that Logan is the one who is literally narrating the twist to his victim! I’m pretty sure none of the other mainline films do this (though of course correct me if I’m wrong). This means that everything Logan’s saying could be wrong! I don’t think hes purposefully lying, but I really think the philosophies he picked up and what he took out of his apprenticeship were maybe not what actually happened. Perhaps it got warped and distorted even further when he was a prisoner of war and endured torture. Just!!! There’s something compelling to me about Logan being an unreliable narrator AND I think it could fix some of the issues fans have with him

Then of course going back to Eleanor, she’s engrossed in the world of John Kramer and Jigsaw. She knew shit that the general public couldn’t even think of. This is a bit fanservice-y but I’m imagining she somehow was able to figure out the existence of Jigsaw’s third (or I guess fourth?) apprentice who the audience would know is Lawrence Gordon. Sure, she doesn’t actually know the identity of this apprentice, but she’s heard rumors that John Kramer had a fail safe to go after his other apprentice, Mark Hoffman, when he stepped out of line. And maybe Eleanor sees herself as having to step into this role now towards Logan - he’s not following the path he was taught and needs to be corrected. Plus, like I said in the tags of that poll, technically Logan never completed his test. She thinks that if he gets through this one she constructed, he’ll see the true purpose of traps and get back on the straight and narrow. And if he fails, well, he’ll stop perverting the Jigsaw name and what it *should* stand for

This is all just a LOT of disorganized rambling that probably makes zero sense, but hey Twisted Picture, if you ever want ideas for how to continue the Saw movies without being constricted to the I - VII portion of the timeline, I will dump them on you

Cyn's Top 10 Kpop Songs of 2023

Yes I know this is late but it's still January so who cares. I'm limiting this to korean title tracks and prerelease singles. Perhaps I'II make one for my favorite b-sides later. Alright lets go!

10. Lit by Stayc - I'll admit this one is kind of a sneak. I didn't even really get this song until this month. When I got it though I got it HARD. I think I listened to it on repeat for an hour straight. Do I actually think it's better than Teddy Bear and Bubble? Maybe not but I do think I like it the most. It's so brain scratchy!

9. Rising by TripleS - What a great song to be the group's official debut! I can really tell that they're Loona's little sister group in this song. Not that it sounds exactly like a Loona song but it has all these little moments where I can hear it. Probably because its a jaden jeong + monotree joint. Anyway it's a really good song and the chorus hits hard.

8. Perfume by NCT Dojaejung - My sister described this as a strut song which is so accurate. This song makes you feel like THAT BITCH. It's super smooth and sexy and really really good. Interesting vibe from NCT (That being said l'm a sticker defender so believe me I have nothing against the NCT sound)

7. Air Force One by Odd Eye Circle - The return of oec fully rocked my world. I was ranting and raving about the loonaverse implications of this song / mv / mini album for days. It's also just a really cool song! Daradaradadada~

6. Giddy by Kep1er - my babies!! Their best title track since Wadada. Also the dance is adorable. I immediately taught myself the chorus choreo. I'm incredibly biased towards these girls so I was tempted to put this higher but I held myself back.

5. Zero by New Jeans - Now I know what you're thinking, "Why tf is that your new jeans entry?" and "That's literally a coca cola ad. What's wrong with you?" This is my list though and Zero was legitimately my top kpop song on my spotify wrapped. I listened to it an ungodly number of times. It has like a weird hypnotic effect on me so I listen to it while I study.

4. Kick It 4 Now by The New Six - My top boy group jam of the year. Again shout out to my bg stan sister to putting me onto this. She truly keeps me in the loop in that regard. Pure happiness in a song it's SOOO FUN!

3. Queencard by (G)I-dle - Must every song be deep? Can't we all just have a silly girly time? My boob and booty hot!! In all seriousness though I think Jeon Soyeon is a genius. Ya'll might think her lyrics are weird but you just don't understand her like me. This is the song on this list that I think will have the most lasting impact. We'll all be looking back fondly on Queencard.

2. Underwater by Chuu - Underwater feels like a breath of fresh air to listen to. This song is so comforting; Chuu's voice is like a hug. It for real makes me emotional. It's so Taeyeon coded which is an incredibly good thing in my book.

1. Unforgiven by Lesserafim - This was my anthem of the year no question. I don't know if Lesserafim will ever be able to top this. It's just flawless. Potentially my favorite kpop album of the year all together too. Idec that half of it is songs we've already heard. I love having greatest hits in one place and Lesserafim's greatest hits are really good!

A Bunch of Honorable Mentions: In Bloom by ZB1 (just barely missed the list. They're the boys to watch right now), Madeline by Limelight, Memories by Riize, We Are Young by Tri.be, I Am by IVE (another close one), Bubble by Stayc, Invincible and Girls Capitalism by Triple S (they had a great year), OMG by New Jeans, Bite Me by Enhypen (I actually went to a kpop dance class where we learned this choreo), Fighting by BSS, One and Only by Boynextdoor (naturally snatch-ed!!), Bad News by Kiss of Life

vent :( (tw: 3d)

i feel so gross rn

i ate over 1000 calories and i tried making up for it a little bit by burning off calories (burned 402) but that left only a little over 1000 still, but it gets worse bc idek why i did this but i had some chocolate and even then i went back to the kitchen and ate toast with cream cheese and sliced ham, tomorrow im going to restrict more and try burn more calories by walking (my watch tracks it), on the upside tho tomorrow is a new day and i dont think i went over my limit (1500cals), but even so i try stick around 800cals per day bc its whats easy for me atm (planning to restrict bit by bit but im going easy on myself since ive gotten used to eating whenever i want bc of summer).

i will get over this and i will do better tomorrow, i have to, for myself this is what i need to do. its my choice and i need to stick with that

also the reason i ate so much was bc i made brownies for my family and i ate some, i was meaning not to, im going to bake again soon and my willpower will be stronger next time. i have my safe foods in my room (obvi ones that dont need the fridge) so there will be NO NEED for me to eat anything i bake. i do enjoy baking and guiltily i do enjoy the idea of feeding my family sweet treats while i nibble at my safe food, might take a bite or something so its not weird but i dont want to be the bigger sibling anymore i fucking hate it, i dont want to be the 'normal' sized one when compared to my sister whos skinnier than me. i wanna be the skinny one, idec if thats selfish its just the truth. its so confusing too, she (my sister) says she wants to put on weight, go the the gym and gain muscle or whatever but i just wanna be thin (trying to avoid being skinnyfat obviously :/) but genuinely its so frustrating it feels like ive been stuck in a body that isnt mine, even if im not described as fat im not described as being skinny and it literally upsets me, as childish as it sounds idrc, and this is literally the ONLY way i can even share these thoughts, if anyone knew how i felt theyd think im stupid or weird, probably try tell me i dont need to change how i look, but i NEED to take control, i am sick and tired of being the way i am, i miss having my child body, i miss it so fucking much, i dont know if its because im trans(ftm) or if its because i used to be super skinny as a kid, beautiful legs that i was complimented on and i enjoyed the fact my ribs were visible, but as soon as puberty hit it all went downhill, in locker rooms people would comment that i was skinny and i liked it but that seemed to happen less and less, like have i gotten fat now?? does everyone think im chubby???? maybe im fucking fat and i dont even see it im gonna cry, jesus christ i fucking hate everything.

it makes it so much worse when my sister calls me fat, ik i just said that no one calls me fat but its weird. my sister calls me fat to make me upset, she usually tells me that during arguments, its made me cry so much. like example: i was on holiday recently with my family (dad, mum, sister, me) we were unloading our stuff from the car and my dad told me to put away the food and during the drive my sister and i were arguing the whole time, and when my sister saw me sorting out the food she said "of course youre at the food, fucking fatass" and i literally had to point out to my parents that she was making fun of me literally in front of them, like yeah my mum was all like "dont say that" to her but that doesnt fucking do anything, and my sister just kept going, and my dad had to step in and tell her to stfu and said that if anything i was underweight, but it felt like such a fat lie, especially when my sister IS skinnier than me, it really drives me crazy but at the same time its almost motivating, like i just wanna be sick, i wanna be sickly thin and gross to look at, i miss how i felt when i was skinny, when my legs were so skinny, i miss the compliments i got on my skinny body, for a while i believed i could never get that back but now ik its possible to be skinny again i just need to keep it up, ik i can be super skinny again and i WILL BE, i HAVE to be, theres no other option for me i need it more than anything, i dont care about anything else atm i just want to be thin

[bbyboybucket]

So i see you reblog a lot of marvel stuff, and there's a lot of stuff i want to ask you, as a sort-of marvel fan myself.

for one, what's your favorite marvel movie? (for me, this is like asking me to choose a favorite child, and i can't pick just ONE, but some people manage to do that) and if you can't pick just one, top five?

second, do you read the comics? and if so, which ones?

third, are you aware of the upcoming thunderbolts movie, and if so, are you excited for it?

essentially, that's it. sorry if the wording for this is a little weird.

have a nice day! :)

Omg hey!!! I’m so happy you sent this you don’t even know

Okay you’re totally right that it’s hard to pick a favorite, especially because I feel like I switch up so much lmao. But I’ve gotta say, my number one is prolly GOTG 3 because literally everything about it was just perfect imo and I’m not even really an emotional person, and I cried like a baby both times. Like that’s the only movie I’ve ever went to see twice in theaters too, but it was just so damn good.

After it tho, I’d say TWS and Civil War are tied at second because I can never decide which I like better. Like as Bucky fan I wanna say TWS (and because it’s excellently written and has top tier action) but also Civil War is just so fun for me and the way it handled/introduced (especially introduced!!!) so other characters is just something I really really love. Then third is prolly endgame, most would disagree but it just holds a special place in my heart. And then 5th is prolly across the spiderverse, ik it’s not mcu but it’s another one from this year that was just so insanely good and that I’ve already watched more than once.

I do read comics sometimes, not as often as I’d like to bc I don’t wanna pay lol but I’ve read a few Bucky ones, I’ve read some spiderman and Wanda comics, just a little bit of everywhere I guess, mostly at random. Right now I really wanna start reading more fantastic 4 because I love them but I just need to get my hands on some lol. But I do try to at least keep up with what’s happened even if I haven’t read comics for it, bc I like to know that extra background info and know what’s accurate for what’s being adapted into live action. And I also like knowing characters that haven’t been/may not be adapted because there’s so much interesting stuff.

I am too aware of it. You probably don’t even want me to go into bc I violently hate what’s happening with that movie, every leak, scoop, and announcement on it fills me with rage bc not only are they doing Bucky dirty (I could write a ten page essay about that) but literally every other choice they’re making for it is also HORRID. Like the team lineup, the villain choice, the fact that the void is going become another dimension in the third act instead of just being personified (idec if it’s comics accurate it’s just not needed for this movie). Literally everything going on with thunderbolts is such a mess. And it’s kinda sad bc when I first realized they were setting it up, before any actual announcements were made, I was excited because I expected so much better than this. But basically I’m praying on its downfall and cancellation lmao. They’ve already had two actors quit and they cut the movie’s budget so I’m thinking there’s a chance. But yeah I’m sorry if this isn’t the answer you expected but if you do wanna see any of my rants on how much I hate they’re putting Bucky in this, just search my page 😂

Anyways, sorry my answer is so long, I didn’t mean to give you a whole book 😂 but thanks again for asking ♥️

txt as lover

requested by @emobgyu (sorry for the wait omg) thank you to @lethekoo for helping my indecisive self w this (also LMFAO the pictures don't go together like at all BUT idec atp sorry)

taehyun as I forgot that you existed

“would've been right there, front row, even if nobody came to your show, but you showed who you are; then one magical night, I forgot that you existed”

taehyun seems like he’d take more time than most to get over someone

like he wouldn’t be super open about it, but every so often something would remind him of them & he’d be at square one all over again

BUT when he did get over them, it would feel very...free.

& taehyun does seem like the type to hold grudges against those who have hurt him & his loved ones

& in that situation I think that leaving it all with a simple shrug after a change in mindset is ALSO something I think he would do

beomgyu as I think he knows

“wanna see what's under that attitude; like, I want you, bless my soul, & I ain't gotta tell him, I think he knows”

I HAVE AN IMAGE OF BEOMGYU IN MY MIND THAT CAN PROBABLY BE DEDUCED FROM WHAT I’VE GIVEN HIM IN THE PAST

having a crush on him seems so fun & frustrating simultaneously...even if he liked you back, he would be so hard to read because of his behavior w all his friends

BUT I FEEL LIKE one time in particular, you’d notice a shift in behavior or something that slipped about his feelings for you & you’d just JUMP on the opportunity bc of how much hell he’s given you for your past romances (aND MAYBE LIKING HIM TOO)

friends to lovers??

MAYBE I JUST REALLY WANNA DATE CHOI BEOMGYU

yeonjun as false god

“I know heaven's a thing, I go there when you touch me, honey, hell is when I fight with you”

bro...I just think he's hot

okay I also gave him don’t blame me in the rep one so this is def along the same train of thought

I see a relationship with yeonjun being very...unreal?? if that makes sense??

like I feel as if being with him at the end of a long day would make you forget everything shitty about it & all of a sudden you’re all each other need

even if you’re just...baking cookies together. I still see it.

soobin as afterglow

“it's so excruciating to see you low, just wanna lift you up and not let you go”

the idea of someone loving you even when you screw up is just so romantic to me

I don’t mean cheating or anything, but maybe forgetting to communicate your struggles & hurting your partner in the process

I think that being able to apologize & forgive & learn is vital to a strong relationship (whether romantic or not) & I think soobin would be very good at that

hueningkai as it’s nice to have a friend

“something gave you the nerve to touch my hand, it's nice to have a friend”

okay I clearly have a thing for friends to lovers x hueningkai considering the fact that I gave him everything has changed on the red version LOL

but seriously, hueningkai seems like such a genuinely wonderful & dependable friend

& if you ended up falling for each other, he’d probably tell you soon after realizing it just because he wouldn't want to drag it out

the rawness of this song’s lyrics are so lovely and I just can’t see anyone else in txt embodying them like hyuka SO I hope you agree:)

Roller Coaster Enthusiast 4*Town

Okay, so I've been having brainrot recently, and I wanna talk about what I think the members of 4*Town would be like as roller coaster enthusiasts

For context, a roller coaster enthusiast is a person who knows a lot about and enjoys riding coasters!

There are other things that make an enthusiast (counting credits, having opinions on rides you haven't ridden, ect ect), but that's the jist!

Even so, I'm gonna make a key of terms used and such, just so this post is a little bit more readable for the uninitiated!

KEY

Home park: the amusement park closest to where you live

Credits: how many different roller coasters you've ridden

Rattle: when steel coasters kinda,,, vibrate? seen most commonly on older B&M's

Airtime: the feeling of rising out of your seat. Is often described as floater (slow rise and fall) and ejector (quick pop, throwing you into your restraint)

Operating time: the amount of time between when the restraints are released to when the train gets sent out again with a new load of guests

Name of a park

Name of a coaster

Name of a manufacturer

Name of a coaster model

ROBAIRE

Forever spiteful that Canada has a whole four notable parks

Home park is Canada's Wonderland, easy

La Ronde slanderer

Calls it "the shityard"

"Six Flags won't even put their name on it, that's how bad it is"

Intensity kinda guy, I305 is in his top five

Loves Intimin, and of course, RMC

Constantly complaining that RMC doesn't work in Canada

Loves King's Dominion, goes at least twice a year

Fierce defender of coasters, will shut down anyone who tries to say they aren't safe

"I was in line for a ride once, and someone's restraint came undone-" "No, that's not how that works"

"I heard they got stuck upside down on the loop." "That's not how that works"

"The ride broke down while we were on it, and we had to evacuate off the lift hill!" "That's actually because the safety mechanisms were working properly, there was literally nothing dangerous going on"

If he hears you saying something like that, he will tell you you're wrong, doesn't matter if he knows you or not

Hates the stigma around coasters, and loves introducing people to his hobby

He just wants people to have fun! Fear mongering doesn't make it fun

TAEYOUNG

Doesn't value any one kind of ride over another, literally loves everything

(as long the ride isn't garbage that is)

Loves a well-themed, innovative ride

Think like, Volcano the Blast Coaster and Time Traveller

Doesn't care to much about manufacturers, but will defend Mack and S&S with his life

"Of course I'm excited for the new Mack Multi-Launch, you aren't?"

Doesn't have a favourite park, but if you asked he'd probably say Dollywood

Definitely loves both Busch Gardens too

Cheetah Hunt adorer

Huge merchandise collector

Definitely has the Carowinds Squishmallows, idec

Has an entire room dedicated to model coaster and other merch

It's nostalgic for him! He loves going in there and being surrounded by things that remind him of his favourite hobby!

Has a wall that's top to bottom covered in park maps

Dreams of one day designing roller coasters himself, but doesn't want to go to school for physics or engineering so that stays a dream LMAO

Loved and respected by the community, meets up with people all the time

Doesn't have a huge online presence himself, but features so often in other peoples content that everyone knows who he is

JESSE

"They should have added a B&M"

He's that guy

Can't fault him for it though, he loves a smooth, high quality coaster

Cannot handle wooden coasters, they're too rough for him

But he will tear you to pieces if you claim one of his favourite coasters has a rattle

Floater airtime > Ejector airtime > anything else

He'll ride anything once for the credit, but is very picky about what he rerides

Has controversial opinions to be honest

"I'd ride Gatekeeper over Maverick any day" and the entire community explodes

(especially Robaire LMAO)

Fury 325 is his favourite

He probably moved to the Carolinas just so he could have Carowinds as his home park

Paints coasters too

Does art commissions, lots of landscapes and stuff

Having a piece of his art is lowkey a standard for more notable enthusiasts, anyone with a public presence definitely purchased from him at least once

He's just that good

He has a separate appriciation for coasters that look pretty

Wildfire at Kolmarden? Absolute beauty, but too intense for him to ride regularly

Thinks B&M coasters are the most graceful in both ride experience and appearance

But has a special appreciation for the Intimin Blitz tracks (think Maverick)

AARON T.

Home park is Cedar Point and everyone is jealous

He probably works there too

And it's his favourite, nobody can fault him

Probably cried when someone told him Top Thrill Dragster might not reopen

He holds every single popular opinion, and nobody can get mad because he's right

Steel Vengeance and Velocicoaster fanboy

LOVES RMC

Has ridden every single one

Credit list is stacked

Name a popular coaster, and he's been on it

Probably makes youtube videos

His wardrobe consists entirely of coaster graphic tees

Like Robaire, he has zero tolerance for people bullshitting about roller coaster safety

Talks about it all the time, especially to guests that look nervous

He'll be checking someone's restraint, and if they show him so much as a hint of nerves he'll explain how the whole system works

Does it make his operating times less efficient? Yes, but his coworkers don't really care

He will turn around and complain when other rides have poor operating times though

"90 seocond ops? I could do it so much faster"

No you couldn't Aaron, you'd talk their ears off

Truly loves his job, loves being in amusement parks, and loves sharing that love with every guest who gets on his ride

AARON Z.

Exists purely and solely because El Toro exists

(Is it really a group of enthusiasts if at least one of them isn't unhealthily attached to El Toro?)

Wishes more Intimin Prefabs were made

Misses Arrow Dynamics everyday

"Yes I need to reride the Arrow Looper, do you have no respect for our history?"

But then turns around and shits on old Vekomas

Two character traits: El Toro and hating Vekoma SLCs

Genuinely celebrates whenever one gets removed

LOVES wooden coasters

Voyage, Lightning Rod, El Toro (of course), pretty much any GCI

Home park is Knotts Berry Farm

Favourite park is Six Flags Great Adventure, home of (you guessed it) El Toro

Considering moving to New Jersey just so it's his home park

Posts off-ride footage, and everyone adores him for it

His footage is used in pretty much every top ten video

Like Tae, he meets up with people all the time

ESPECIALLY if they go to Great Adventure, he will take any excuse to go

Gets invited to media events

Huge name, but most new enthusiasts don't know anything about who he is

He's the kinda guy that you really have to meet in person to get a feel for his opinions and who he is

Intimidating at first, but no El Toro fanboy can stay intimidating for long

Okay, I'm going feral over this. I've done a truly ridiculous amount of analyzing Hannibal. Like ridiculous. But, all of it has been done on Discord and a lot of it is sparsed out. However, I am watching s3 e9 right now (again) and this fucking show

There's probably nothing to this but idec. Will wears his "I keep getting it for Christmas" aftershave to see Hannibal. I have many thoughts on this.

First, that aftershave (to the best of my understanding) is old. He doesn't use it anymore. Hannibal says "...and pine and oil beneath that shaving lotion. That's something a child would select, isn't it?" It sounds like Will uses a different aftershave but either slapped the old one on top or shaved and used the old one but the new one lingers behind. Hannibal also specifically says "Came to get the old scent again", which is obvious in its connotations, and old can simply be emphasized because of how long it's been since they've seen each other, but they've also always had more underlying meanings to their words. Your scent is old Will. You put it on again.

Now, Will could've brought it to simply cover up the other scents, to hide his family from Hannibal. But if he was really trying to do that, why wouldn't he take off his wedding ring? Why wouldn't he get some extreme cleanser to make sure any trace of his family doesn't linger on his skin? I think that wasn't the aftershave's purpose at all.

I think that aftershave sits on a shelf or gets tossed in a bin somewhere. Maybe he finally told whoever gets it for him (possibly his father) that he's gotten something new - something his step-son picks out for him - and the bottle he still owns is the old one from his time with Hannibal.

Any way you look at it, Will brings that bottle on purpose. He had to pack a bag and probably dig through old stuff to find it - an awful lot of work for something that could be done so much simpler if he was only trying to hide a new scent. I think he wears it on purpose. I think he does it to get Hannibal's attention. So Hannibal knows it's him before Hannibal even turns around. To see if he's still just as ingrained in his bones, in his psyche, as Hannibal still is in his, no matter how hard he tries.

"Why don't you just smell yourself?" This has obvious connotations: we are the same. We are still the same, no matter how much distance and time you put between us. No matter what you tell yourself. But also: Will you wore your old aftershave from some of our greatest hits, from the time we were together. You still smell the same, just like you're the same man underneath that aftershave.

"That routine is old hat." "Whereas you are a new man." Why are you wearing the aftershave, Will? Huh? Why? You're a new man, aren't you? Didn't even properly wash away the rest of your scent enough for me not to smell it on you? You wanted me to know you're a new man, you've moved on, you have a family. And yet, you brought the old aftershave with you from home. You put it on for me, implying you haven't changed at all.

It also murders me that this implies Will's person suit is both old and new. He put on an old scent just for Hannibal. But the new one - the one based in his family he tried to move on with, away from Hannibal - still lingers under the surface. He and Hannibal are no longer on a first name basis. And yet, he looks him in the eye unflinchingly. His person suit has evolved because of Hannibal but has also reverted to the old because of the same thing.

Maybe this is nothing. Maybe Will still gets that same damn aftershave every Christmas and the scent underneath it is simply something else his step-son picked out for his new skin care regimen. Maybe, somehow, Will didn't think Hannibal would be able to smell his family on him, or didn't even care. Maybe this means nothing. But with how god damn precise everything is in this show, I think at least some of it holds weight. And even if it doesn't, I find it vastly more fun to think it does.

"Why did you wear the aftershave, Will?"

"I was curious what would happen."

[tessiete]

11, 12, and 17 for the salty asks?

HA! Yes, going in. You're fantastic! THANK YOU!

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

THIS is where my answer is Korkie Kenobi. Look. LOOK. Idec, I'm not pretending I don't think it was real and intentional anymore. And here's the thing - Korkie genuinely has more screen time than Cody. Okay? OKAY? This kid got three episodes dedicated to him. Do not tell me that this was not intentional. Don't. Don't look at me and LIE.

Anyway, he's super unpopular in fandom for a bunch of reasons, most of which boil down to the fact that A Lovechild Gets in the Way of My Ship, imo. Like, there's literally nothing wrong with this kid. He's the least annoying child character SW has ever introduced.

And I *love* him because I genuinely, genuinely think he's a fantastic foil or complement for almost EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in the GFFA. Obviously, his relationship to Obi-Wan and Satine is self-explanatory. But for Anakin? He's the sort of mirror-self, the way Maul is for Obi-Wan. For Maul, he's a reflection of his past. For Bo, he's a reminder of her sister, and a symbol of her work. For Palpatine, he's another generation of Kenobis loololol. For Luke and Leia, he's what they *could* have been born into (ie. he lived under the Empire, instead of liberating it). And on and on and on. His story touches or could conceivably touch almost EVERYONE and bring out something unique in ALL of them. Like.........WHY ARE WE NOT ON - oh, right. Who would we even ship him with.

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

Honestly, anything with Satine. I just - okay, like, I wasn't thrilled with a love interest either, and honestly, I'm not in it for the romance. But I just think it's SO clever, and so funny, and so genuinely, actually subversive that GL looked at his universe and looked at what people expected a Mandalorian to be, and went "Actually, no. They're pacifists led by a woman."

It's the same thing he did with Vader - "Actually, he's a whiny kid."

And I think that Satine is SUCH a clever foil for Obi-Wan (probably more than the writers even understood) because she's an antagonist without being a villain. Neither she or Obi-Wan are wrong, but she forces us to question why Obi-Wan chooses what he does, and whether or not it's the best choice, or the least harmful choice, or if there even is a good choice. It forces him to clarify his values, and for us to see exactly where we align ourselves. I think that's kind of threatening for people bc we want Obi-Wan to be the BEST guy.

So I love the Mandalore Plot, I love him calling her hysterical and her just shutting him down. I love the whole assassination ploy, and like, I ALSO like Korkie's Academy arc.

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

Ugh, so much. SO MUCH. I can't think of a specific sequence of events, mostly because it's not often plot points that bother me, but like, story choices? If that makes sense. But I'll pick a random one. I would have....I would have had AotC START with the Clone Wars, and had that whole film be more about Obi-Wan and Anakin shifting from father/son to brothers. I think AotC really suffers by having Obi-Wan and Anakin spend the whole movie apart from each other without somehow otherwise keeping them connected.

I think assassin Padme would have also been fun.

Man...I have to think about this one!

[1010ll]

do you have any new recipes that you've learned recently? i remember you wrote something a while ago about carbonara and i tried it out for myself it was really fun!!

i love this 😭 im gonna write way too much idec! something that has changed since that post: my kitchen is worse. i have a horrible combi oven which has resulted in me accidentally eating raw chicken, because it had been in there for more than 2 hours at supposedly 230 °C and i was really hungry and thought it HAD to be done by then. also i have less time and less money lol. it has made me a bit sad, and less motivated to cook nice things but i also love food! which means these tips/recipes are gonna reflect that and might seem a bit dull but probably also relatable for a lot of people.   i’ve definitely made spaghetti carbonara a bit too much because it’s simple and require few ingredients! will still vouch for that one tip about substituting the bacon with roasted veggies and other types of meat.

last week i made risotto for the very first time, i think? which means i might be assuming a bit too much, but i think it’s a great dish that you can almost make with whatever you have in your fridge. i made it with roasted beetroot(needs A LOT of time to soften, lesson learned), carrots and parsley root or parsnip(idk the difference), dried rosemary and thyme, garlic and onion. i had some leftover sushi rice, which is great for risotto apparently(love versatile ingredients), roasted them in some oil and then added white wine and chicken stock and actually added a leftover parmesan rind i had in the fridge to give the ‘stock’ some flavour, a bit of nutmeg and then in the end some shredded gouda lol… it was surprisingly delicious and i didn’t even really care to cook the rice perfectly. it also tasted delicious 3 days later, which was a nice surprise. i bet there are tons of risotto recipes online, but as long as you have rice, some kind of flavoured water, i guess you could kind of add whatever you want of veggies and top with whatever herb you have around.

another type of porridge i consume a lot these days is hot oat porridge, which i’ve eaten since i was little and it was the first ‘dish’ i learnt to make myself and it’s cheap. some people really dislike the consistency and look but i don’t. it’s also very easy to customise. i put in whatever nuts and seeds(which are often cheaper than nuts) i have around: flaxseed, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds and sometimes a dollop of peanut butter. i let them simmer along with the oats. i like adding those elements because it gives it some texture and it keeps me more full throughout the day. it’s very important to me because i hate spending money i don’t have on fast-food when i’m not home and i hate being hungry. dried raisins, cranberries for a bit of sweetness and if i’m treating myself i’ll add some fresh apples cut into small pieces or some homemade berry compote(i use frozen) or brown sugar. if i had more money i’d use maple syrup but i don’t at the moment. i also add a bit of cinnamon and cardamom, dried ginger etc, whatever you feel like. some people also add milk afterwards but i’d rather spend my milk on my coffee.

a small tip: making chili flake / garlic oil. it’s really delicious, you could put it straight on pasta with some parmesan and pepper and it would be a filling meal. either chop the garlic really fine, grate it, microplane it, smash it to pieces. heat some olive oil until it’s quite hot, then remove from heat and add the chili flakes and garlic. if the oil isn’t hot enough you can just put the pan or pot back on the heat but be careful you don’t burn the chili flakes or garlic, as it will make it bitter. the longer it will toast, the less pronounced the raw garlic flavour will be, so when it smells toasted enough for your taste, take it off. i store it in a tiny glass jar and add it in stews, sauces, toasts, pizza, sandwiches etc. the flavour is very strong imo and everything it touches will smell like it. something to drink: i like strong foods and i like sour foods, which is why i like lemon/ginger based drinks. to make it even more winter friendly and easy to make, i like to grate unpeeled ginger(i hate slices of ginger, they do nothing for me and seems like a waste of ginger), lemon zest, lemon juice and mix it or blend it with some water/apple juice and honey and strain it afterwards. if you have a really nice blender you can just add all of it together with some ice. i’m basically making a large amount of ginger shot mixture. then when i feel like it, i can take some of the mixture and either drink it as it is, add more apple juice if i need a refreshing beverage or add hot water and more honey for when im cold. you could also add turmeric, chili, use less sweetener and other sorts of healthy stuff but i honestly do it for the taste so i don’t care about that that much.

something sweet: i posted earlier about cakes and someone mentioned swedish kladdkaka, which is a super delicious, cheap, brownie-like chocolate cake that is easily customized and hard to fuck up which is why i’ve made it since i was very young and is a go-to and i didn’t even know it was a swedish thing. if you like airy, light cakes this is not for your. this is sticky, sweet and almost like confection. you can add nuts, swirls of peanutbutter, tahini, actual pieces of chocolate, replace the white sugar with brown sugar, the butter with oil(you can be fancy and use a bit of olive oil) or use a mixture, brown the butter, you name it. the recipe i use is this: melt 100 g butter and let cool. mix 2 eggs + 3 dl sugar in a bowl until fluffy in one bowl. mix 1.5 dl flour, 4 tbs cocoa, 1 pinch of salt in another. mix the dry with the wet mixture and add the cooled, melted butter. this is the point where you’d add chopped nuts, chocolate etc. pour the batter into a cake tin lined with parchment (i use one that is 16 cm in diameters i think). bake the cake for around 30 mins at 150°C - 175°C degrees. check on the cake using a cake tester or a a knife. if the knife is clean after … stabbing it, it’s done! the cake will change it’s texture after cooling. this is a cheap cake, and if you like cake dough you might want to give it less time in the oven for a more fudgey texture. make it your own! there are no rules. last time i made this, i left it in for too long in my opinion but it was still delicious. also i literally have a shit oven with a round oven rack that goes in circles no matter what due to the microwave function, and the only ‘mixing’ equipment i have is a whisk and a spatula. no need for kitchen aids or  even electrical hand mixers.

something else i’ve been eating a lot for lunch is simple open faced sandwiches, and something that can really elevate those is: making your own mayonnaise(and toasting the bread). it can be challenging, but it’s really worth it imo and i can’t remember the last time i bought it in a store. i have a small plastic bowl, whisk and 1 egg yolk. something i can really recommend is buying pour snouts for bottles. i transfer my oils from their plastic bottles to smaller, old soda bottles because im cheesy like that and it’s really handy especially when making mayo. constantly whisking the egg yolk by hand and then adding the NEUTRAL oil ever so slowly. don’t be fancy and use cold pressed stuff or extra virgin olive oil because it will taste weird. i only ever fail when i try to use immersion blenders for some weird reason but i find it rewarding to do by hand anyways and i think it might be easier to make smaller portions that way. mayo needs acid and you can get it by adding regular vinegar, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, pickle juice, citric acid dissolved in water etc. it’s really easy to customise! when im making banh mi, i add some sesame oil, soy sauce for saltiness and use lime as the acidic element. for more regular use i add a bit of mustard(also helps with the emulsion), for fries, i like adding some fresh garlic. something as simple as mayo, tomatoes, flaky salt and pepper topped with chives is really nice. i also really like using slices of boiled potatoes or boiled eggs(idk if that’s only a thing where i’m from), mayo and the chili garlic oil. it’s also great for making tuna salad. yesterday i made a really simple sandwich with a very simple tuna salad(tuna, mayo, yoghurt, lemon and pepper), arugula, basil, the garlic/chili oil, cream cheese, pickled jalapeños and onions, green peber, cucumber and tomatoes. you could leave out everything but the tuna salad and it would still be a great little meal.

another nice condiment that beats the supermarket stuff by far is homemade ‘pesto’. when i buy parsley from my local grocery store, it’s a gigantic amount that i in no way can consume in a week. first of all when buying fresh herbs i really recommend washing them, wrapping them in a damp towel and keeping them in a closed container. it will prolong their lifetime from lasting a day to a week(change the towel if it seems too wet). i once had some cilantro in my fridge for several weeks and still be fresh. anyways, when i buy that much parsley, i like to remove the tougher parts of the stem(which i use in stews/sauces! chop it up and sautee it along with garlic and onion), add literally just olive oil, water, pepper, garlic, and a bit of acid and then blend away! it keeps for a long time in the fridge and is also delicious beneath tomatoes/potatoes/cheese on open-faced sandwiches. if you want to be fancy you can of course add some type of hard cheese, nuts, seeds, dried tomatoes, whatever.

i know this is the longest text post ever, but as a last reminder, i really recommend watching pasta grannies on youtube. really simple recipes with focus on few, good ingredients that just takes some time and love.

idec if its a real kid or just some stupid sack of flour baby tv teens had to take care of im just like *claps and cheers the loudest*

like sorry that the paternal instincts kicked in i meant it! Soldier as a Real Dad would be...worrisome maybe even questionable BUT it doesn't stop me from imagining him being doting and silly with makeshift things. the idea of caring for all those silly raccoons in that sanctuary when all the mercs split as helps with the idea that he actually Likes looking after and taking care of things, at least animals (even tho he has a very weird way of taking care of things ahdhdh) n probably finds good company with them.

i digress- i just think hes neat :'] hed wanna pick out different clothes for them n probably does one of those dad things - dangling kids by the legs but yknow, to an inanimate stuffed bear n he cradles them when he talking ab who knows what its kinda funny seeing a grown ass man so serious ab some doll. like hes a little cringe for it but hes into it so idm 😔💞

the guy tucks it in or makes sure its sitting up right before leaving his room no matter the rush hes in and suddenly ends up with a high chair for it n has it chillin ajdjd talking to them like its a real child is rly *microwave noise* something ab being big and strong, calling himself dad, and something ab eating their veggies and kicking hippie ass - yknow how it is with Guys 😩 instead of babies babbling tho its obviously silence but he still hums and scratches his chin like hes thinking of an answer, hes fun like that. i just awkwardly smile and Try humoring him but its too much embarrassment + secondhand embarrassment bc 'we're adults' but hes like 'and we're parents now so shove your pride up your ass and put on your big boy panties on good god'.

he takes being a parent sooo seriously but ofc he doesn't have to deal with early morning crying and changing or bathing, but when its 'wash time' he hovers over chef gently scrubbing at its fur and redressing them like sir youre 45 years old 🧍‍♂️/lh but also, flipping shit if it ever got stained/torn like bro chill please for the love of god please.

hed try trading them off too bc 'he needs to see bith parents' but definitely uses them as leverage after a while like what do you mean you dont want to sleep in the same room, we cant have a family torn apart 😩

YOU EVER THINK,,,,, HED GET OR MAKE A LIL HELMET FOR THEM TO MATCH...EVERYONE LOG OFF AND HAND ME YOUR PHONES... hed get a little bandana for them too so i could match...very swag of me to *starts crying*

FANFICTION PROFILE

What's your favorite fandom to write for? hmm,,, used to do pjo and eah (ever after high) and eah was fun as fuck i will say!!! i think bnha is my fav mostly bc i made the most friends in this fandom :D

What's your favorite character/person to write for? bkg and kirishima!! cannot choose do not make me <3

Fic you'd want to improve? probably what we deserve? i rushed the beginning and the confession is a bit stilted imo

Hardest fic you've written? between lion and men -_- bc there is so much canon compliant stuff i've gotta write out before i get to the divergence and its HARD

Easiest fic you've written? come home to me!!! it happened so easily,,, no second guessing no writers block just vibes <33 was lovely i miss it

What would you say is the most "famous" fic you've ever written? also probably come home to me? its got the most interaction

first line of the first fic you've ever written and published. [not including my 2014 ffnet fics] "The bell rings, class starts, and Katsuki and Midoriya are inexplicably absent." from come home to me

Have you ever done a collab with another writer? yes!!!!! on two separate occasions and its so fucking fun i highly recommend trying it out its the best

Do you beta? if asked but honestly im a shit beta lmao

Do you like joining fic fests/exchanges? depends on what i have going on irl but in general yeah!!

FANFICTION PREFERENCES

Fluff or angst? definitely fluff

"OCs" or "Reader" inserts? reader inserts!! have been going ham on them recently

Blurbs or drabbles? blurbs!!

One thing you love about fanfiction i just. i really love slice of life romance?? and most media doesn't give you that bc its dedicated to plot and action and that's valid!! but fanfiction fills in the gap which is really nice

One thing you don't like about fanfiction most of the stuff i don't like is less about actual fanfiction and more about how people behave about it

What is/are your favorite fandom author/authors? IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! TURN IT UP!!!

bnha: hiuythn, rae_tnub, Moniix, Ata_Lanta, wrunic, chezka, PurplePersnickety, surveycorpsejean, mahadevi, arxaris, deviance, Oceanbreeze7, MikeWritesThings, bonnia, wonhaebunny, dinosuns

voltron: hiuythn, Oceanbreeze7, DeerstalkerDeathFrisbee, arahir, dinosuns,

and honorable mention to loveclouds im not even in the haikyuu fandom i just love their fics So Much

these are just the ones off the top of my head i have so many favourites idc if i'm only supposed 2 have one!! die mad about it!!!

What is your favorite trope? secret relationship + relationship reveal til the day i die babie <3 <3

Least favorite trope? hm,,, probably just like. angst lmao i cannot stand 90% of it

A fanfiction cliché that you can't help but love? coffeeshop aus,,,, so good

Do you have a type when it comes to pairings? the otp where its like. piece of shit + himbo = love. ex. krbk, catradora, jade/beck

Favorite setting/au? hm,,, truly i cannot pick one KGKSJNHKj but i really like college aus!! and modern aus!! and roommate aus!!

Explain the meaning of your favorite line of dialogue you've written as if someone hasn't read it in context. “He doesn’t know,” Katsuki says, softly. “My timer stopped and nothing happened. He’s not mine.”

the line is from what we deserve!! it's a soulmate au where your timer counts down to the moment that you meet your soulmate!! bakugou's timer ends at USJ when he and kirishima attack kurogiri at the same time (impulsive kings <33) but kirishima's timer doesn't end until kamino because that's when he accepts himself as bakugous soulmate!! unfortunately, when bakugous timer has reached 0, he turned to see that kirishima's was still ticking and therefore believes that kirishima isn't his soulmate.

this line just,, idk. it's really sad. bakugou is such an action-driven character? if something doesn't go his way he Makes it go his way. he's got this insanely volatile quirk and he's got impeccable control of it!! but his love for kirishima isn't something that he can change and he's not going to ruin kirishima's chance of finding his own soulmate because he loves him and wants him to be happy. i really wanted to focus on how resigned he is? and how unusual that is for a character like him.

Favorite trope/genre to write? again, secret relationship with relationship reveals <33 fluff in general is my wheelhouse!!!

A trope/genre you haven't written but think would be a fun challenge? idk if this counts?? have been working on some dead dove concepts!! its super different from what i normally write so its a cool challenge

The one trope/concept you'll never touch and why probably cheating/infidelity?? it just looks,,, super difficult to write well and i don't have enough of an interest in it to try it out

Which do you prefer to write: longer or shorter fics? shorter!! low attention span gang <3

Ideal length to read? 5-10k?

Ideal length to write? 4-8k!!

How long was the longest fic you've ever written? control fraek is around 28k i think?

Have you ever written an AU? yeah!! i've done restaurant au's, soulmate au's, pro hero aus, and fantasy aus (general, not the bnha fantasy ending)

What's your favorite AU trope? hm,, probably when two people in authority are in a secret relationship? ceo's/uni professors/etc etc

Have you ever written smut? yeah!! was. difficult tho

What's your comfort genre? (the one you fall on most in writing/reading) fluff,,, hurt/comfort,,, fix-it fics with happy endings <3

If you were to start writing in other fandoms, which would they be? maybe jjk?? the characters are really cool!!!! fr i might go back to my ever after high roots i love the characters and setting so Much its so fun!!! idec if no ones into it anymore!!!!!

Is there a trope you think you could be easily recognized by in your writing? i've had people say they saw the mention of buff hagakure and recognized it was me so. probably that skdjhnksjd

WRITING STYLE

How would you describe your style? i tend to use shorter sentences and pretty simple words i think? and i gravitate towards lighthearted concepts that allow for ensemble casts and humour!!

Describe your style in three words romcom but fanfic

Favorite words to use when writing? the word reverent!! fuckin love including it!!

Dialogue tags or no dialogue tags? (she said, he said, they said, etc) dialogue tags!!!

Favorite dialogue tag (other than said, if you use them) again idk if this counts but "they said softly" is unmatched

Long sentences vs short vs a mix short <33

What colors would you use to describe your writing? hm,,, depends on the fic i would say?? control fraek is dark green to me?? kinda like a forest at night yk?? scary but there's still life there. sugar cookies is yellow like early morning sunlight, when it rains is yellowy-orange like a caution sign. not gonna list all of them cause theres a lot its just. do u get it? the colours change based on the vibe of the fic.

What song or music genre would you use to describe your writing? think. i am constantly trying to emulate that moment at the end of wasteland baby when hozier goes "im in love/im in love with you."

What kind of metaphors do you rely on? religious metaphors my beloved <33 they're just so pretty!!! i also love comparing stuff to water for some reason?? like that ocean vuong quote thats like "what are you now?/water." it goes hard!!!

What's something you'd say is experimental in your writing at this time? definitely action!! i have,,, no idea how to write it so anything i do is really just me playing around and seeing what works and what doesn't

Do you prefer to write by hand or to type? i've tried both!! personally i prefer typing because it goes way faster but i will say that writing by hand lets me get words down when i'm going through writer's block

What is your preferred place to write (notebook, laptop, cellphone, etc.)? laptop!!

What app/apps do you use to write (word, notepad, etc.)? google docs skjdnkjh its fine on desktop but mobile is,,,,, disgusting

Do you keep a notebook or file/notes page in your phone/device for notes on your writing? ngl i just have everything organized in my drive?? one folder per fandom and then sub folders for ideas+hcs, unfinished wips, and finished fics. multichaps get sub sub folders so i can organize outlines and drafts

Do you listen to music to help you write? yeah!! playlists organized by fic vibe :D

Where do you usually go to write (bedroom, living room, etc.)? mostly in my bedroom??? but moving around to different stops helps too i think!!

How long does it usually take for you to write? again this depends on what i have going on irl, how attached i am to the idea, my mindset at the time, etc!! i am,, the least consistent person skjnhdkjh.

What's your favorite font to use when writing? times new roman my beloved

Other writing habits? sometimes i'll write in the dark?? bad for my eyes but for some reason it gets the words flowing

CONCEPTUALIZATION

How do you conceptualize your ideas? (See specific moments like they're a movie, writing specific lines in your head, don't know until you put the words on paper, etc.) i tend to get inspiration from movies, books, poems, or other fics!!! sometimes one line just makes me go oh,, i want to write something like that,,, and then it helps me create an idea that makes me feel the same way?? i did this with control fraek!!!! i wanted a scenario where bakugou was cold and calculating and i was like hm. to do that he’d have to be focusing on something important. and from there i was able to flesh out the rest of the idea.

Which comes first: the pairing or the plot? with krbk its always always the pairing,, i'll be sitting there like wow <33 i love them <33 what if one of them had amnesia <33 (which, yes, wip!!) otherwise it's usually the plot!! and i slot in characters that i feel make sense

Have you ever used a prompt? yeah!! used a prompt for wlw week 2020 and it was fun as hell

Do you write around the story around a specific scene you want to get to or do you start from a plot idea definitely the first!!!! i almost always write like,,, a super messy scene thats 90% dialogue, keep it in my head, and then write the entire fic around that one moment

Do you find that you include a projection of some part of yourself in the way you write a character? a lot of the time when i write love confessions or love in general i'll have one of the characters think or say that the other person makes their head quiet? and it's because that's what i feel whenever i'm in love?? a quiet mind. i project on characters yeah but i think most of the projection actually goes to the way that i write love

Do you research some of the things you write deeply, partially and kind of wing the rest, or play entirely by ear (in this case, go with whatever base knowledge of the subject you have)? most of the time if i do research it'll be about the setting (ex. the izakaya in to have and to hold) or if i'm having the characters interact with an object that they like. need to know how to use (me, in control fraek: google. hey google. does someone die if they get shot in the foot??? no???? awesome thank u <3)

Have you ever had an idea for a story and forgot about it? lmaoo yeah all the time i'll find like 500-2k words of concepts in my gdocs like i do. not remember this at all

Is there a trope you think you could be easily recognized by in your writing? probably krbk secret relationship lmao

Are there concepts you've tried that turned out better than expected? yeah!! i fully thought the action in control fraek would be awful but it turned out not bad??? which im happy with

Are there concepts you've tried that turned out worse than you expected? again, what we deserve, i personally think it would have worked out better if i'd paced it slower and drawn out the pining but i. do not feel like going back to fix it so its staying the way that it is. pining is so fucking hard to do AHHHH i get so tired with it!!! im like just date already!!!!

PROCESS

How do you come up with titles? in rare occasions (literally. all my multichaps for some reason) the title comes after writing like .5 words of the first chapter im like YES this is it!!!!! sometimes i write the whole thing and pick out one line that fits (what i did with come home to me) a lot of the time i just. steal from songs or poems that i like

What's your favorite emotion to cause on your readers? i like making people happy!!!! love when people comment saying they're cheered up

What's your favorite emotion to write? lovelovelovelovelovelove

Have you ever cried or felt any emotion while reading something you've written? never cried?? but sometimes i'll rereading my hurt/comfort fics 4. yk. comfort

Do you write in order or whatever comes to you? in order!! unless i have a scene that i Need to write and i'll quickly jot it down so that i don't forget

Usual way you procrastinate while writing? ...doing asks like this, making playlists, discord, watching netflix. what don't i do smh

Do you outline or free write? i am. so shit at outlines. i mostly free write and write lil notes for stuff that i wanna add later

Do you set word goals or scene goals (scenes you want to include)? yes!! like i said i'll write loose notes for scenes that i want to add later!! it gives me something to write towards :D

What do you consider when writing your scenes? what goes into making the atmosphere and mood you want? to set a scene i do two things? the first is like,, the five senses bc that always sets the scene really well and makes it feel Real. i'll visualize stuff in my head like its a movie and write out what i would want to tell the set designer?? if the lights are low, if the space is busy, if it's supposed to exude comfort or not.

for putting forward the character's mood one thing i've found that makes a difference is sentence length!! long sentences are good for making a character seem flustered and nervous or not really in control of their emotions? good for love confessions. short sentences are good for when the character is focused on something or short on time. good for fights!!

What's something you never considered to include in your writing that you can't leave out now? def buff hagakure,,,, once i thought of it i was like. if i don't include this at least once in every single fic how could i look at myself in the mirror!!!!!! how could i face anyone!!!!

How do you start a story? establishing a fact about the character or describing the setting! option a is one single thread of gold, option b is between lion and men

How do you end a story? either by tying it back to the beginning or doing like a funny kind of closing??? option a is sugar cookies, option b is a godless society

How do you get out of writer's block? change something!! move something!! i go from typing to handwriting, moving from my bedroom to my living room, switching wips to work on something else!! i do sprints as well?? give myself like fifteen minutes to write something and sometimes 200 words opens up the way for another 2k. sometimes i'll just delete like 500 words and start fresh

Do you edit? or do you toss your writing out there? i edit!!! i'll go over it myself then send it to one or two betas (bee my beloved <33)

How do you edit? do you use spellcheck, grammar checkers, etc? bee is my grammar checker bc he is So Good with grammar. i use grammarly as well for spellcheck stuff mostly?? sometimes my edit process is just like "am i tired of looking at this!! yes <3" and then i post it

PROGRESS

Do you usually like what you write? yeah!!! i post stuff that makes me happy and that i'm fine with rereading!!! i write stuff for self-indulgence reasons first and foremost and i think my writing reflects that sjhnksj

Have you ever written something you didn't like but posted anyways? nope!! even what we deserve i LIKED even if i see a lot of room 4 improvement!! if i don't like smth it's not getting posted

Do you find yourself rereading your writing often? yeah!! the reason i wrote so much krbk secret relationship is because i loved it but i'd read all that there was so i just,, wrote more,, ngl its kinda nice being in a place where i actually like my writing bc i can write stuff that i want to see and really enjoy it!!

Can you tell us anything about your current WIP? sure!! i'm currently working on when it rains which is a fic where bakugou gets hit by a crying quirk!! i'm gonna be using it to explore So Much of all might's character and his relationships with bakugou and aizawa (and i think some people from his past!!)

Can you give us a sneak peek on your current WIP? “You did something. What the hell did you do?” Kirishima sounds pissed off. It would amuse Katsuki if he wasn’t fighting just to stay standing.

“Nothing he didn’t ask for,” Shinsou replies.

“K’ri… shima,” Katsuki croaks out. “‘S fine. Not him.”

His chest collapses back into the familiar dry heaving after that but Kirishima shuts up. He doesn’t apologize to Shinsou.

Kirishima’s a good friend, stubborn and loyal. He stands by Katsuki’s side like an attack dog, blocking him from the view of anyone ogling at his tears.

The last line you've written Ochako knows more than she'd realized. She knows enough to keep her guard up.

It’s not enough.

Open a wip. what’s the first line?

Katsuki wakes up feeling like absolute fucking shit.

INSIGHT

What's your favorite thing about writing? touched on this before but it's mainly just being able to write the things that i want to see and actually enjoy them!!! actually reread them!!!! i thought "wouldn't it be cool if bkg and kirishima owned a restaurant together" and then i wrote it and i like it enough to reread it!!!! being able to create content for myself makes me. so happy

How do you keep yourself inspired? this is gonna sound narcissistic maybe but honestly i'm just really excited about my ideas and where i'm gonna take them and the idea of "i'm gonna get to That scene" keeps me going through the entire thing. also my friends!!!! i'll talk to them about fics and their reactions keep me hyped up enough to finish!!!!

What is your favorite thing to write? just,, slice of life romance,,, stuff thats silly and makes people laugh!!

What do you think your strengths are in writing? i'm good with dialogue!! i do lil voice acting sessions with myself to make sure everything sounds natural and like it's coming from that character skhjnskj

i'm comfortable with my portrayal of love as well??? i spend a lot of time thinking about what it is exactly that i'm trying to get across and i think it turns out well!!

What are things you wish you could practice more? on one hand i wanna get better at writing angst on the other hand i dislike writing angst. do you see my issue

One way you've improved your writing since you began? characterization!! i think i've gotten better at writing characters that are all Different and bring different things to the table!!! i used to project a lot more and it would compromise the characterization because the character was like 70% me and 30% them? not to say that projection is bad but if you do it too much it just,, doesn't read like the character and from a reader's standpoint the narrative can become less compelling

One aspect of writing you're still working on? writing action!!! i. literally hate writing it but i write for a fandom about superheroes so. Unfortunately i gotta learn.

A piece of writing advice you've learned while writing saw this on another tumblr post but they said sometimes if you're struggling with a scene, the problem is five lines back. i've found that to be true!!!! sometimes u gotta delete a chunk and start a little ways back!! i did this with too busy being yours because i was stuck for Weeks and i deleted like 25% of what i had but it helped me actually finish it :D

A bit of writing advice you can't stand when people shit on show don't tell for being overrated lmao bc when u read their writing you can Tell

Something you wish you knew when you first started writing? ,,,,honestly i kind of wish i could know some of the stuff that i used to when i first started writing?? technically i'm better now but creatively i was must better when i wasn't stressing about whether anyone would like what i was writing. so i guess i wish i knew that i should keep that confidence? i kinda wish that i wasn't as insecure about other people's writing styles because i never used to be!!

Something you've learned in life that you apply in writing there's no point in feeling inferior?? writing one genre isn't better than the other. being in one fandom isn't better than being in another. the kind of language you use or the length of your paragraphs- none of that stuff like. matters. what matters is that you're having fun and happy with what you're creating!!!! enjoy other peoples writing but don't let it make you feel worse about yours :D

[iiasha-archived]

(same anon from earlier) i got keqing as my first pity pull actually! would love jean - as you said she would work nice with xiao. i use barbara or diona with him usually. c6 xiao sounds unstoppable and i want it so bad haha. i did zhongli's story quest yesterday (i only started playing late january so sadly i missed him :/ ), but DAMN he was amazing and I cant wait for him to come back. i really want to pull more xingqui and chongyun but nope i got 3 xianglings lol. (1/3)

(under readmore since it got long lmao)

(2/3) oo your team sounds cool! fischl (and razor) are the only two four stars I dont have :/ xingqui is super nice! hes part of my b team im building for spiral abyss. do you have the lithic weapons for the liyue team? my main team changes around a bit. usually xiao and keqing and then either xinyan or chngyun and either diona or barbara for healing. i... kind of just use people i like instead of figuring out good combos lol.

(3/3) so i ended up using that gift card i had and got 41 wishes. PULLED HU TAO TWICE AND NEITHER FOR PITY. I CANT BELIEVE THAT I DID THAT. sadly dont have enough stuff to get her to a useable lvl yet but getting her and mona up are my goal now haha. my polearm team is one it's way.. hehe. hate that hu tao also uses the juvenile jades like xiao :/ those are so annoying to get. and mona needs those philanemo mushroom which are ALSO annoying to get.

YOU GOT KEQING??? 😭😭😭 omg im so jealous she seems so fun to play as and while im not actively pulling for her def wouldn't mind having her as well hahaha (kinda skipped her banner altho she is on the other one as well). mona isnt bad she just doesnt rly fit my playstyle so i dont rly use her even though i did get her up to lvl 80 at least (and yeah those fucking mushrooms. THOSE FUCKING MUSHROOMS.)

I think sucrose is the only 4 star I have although I've been playing for a while now and YESSSS as y'all probably know I fucking love zhongli and I hear he got much better after his buff (tho idec about his stats rly just want rock dad to come home. like I just need him and his deep ass voice on my team LMAOO)

omg 3 xianglings 😂 i think my xiangling is still only at C0 fjshsjdhjd and I REALLY love chongyun I will not rest until that boy is at C6. I actually haven't done the spiral abyss in a while I should check up on that

and also honestly weapons are like the last thing I pay attention to in this game 😂 I just give my strongest characters whatever's the best weapon I currently have for them. I don't think I have any lithic weapons sadly

but MOOD at the end of the day I don't really care too much about stats I just use whoever's fun to play and which characters I like 🥰 I also will probably rotate out characters who I've maxed out friendship with, like for me that's only fischl so far which is why I'm using xiangling more but a couple of my other characters are close to maxing out friendship as well so my main team might switch up soon 👀

OMG CONGRATS ON THE HU TAO 🎉🎉🎉🎉 polearm team sounds fun I actually kinda wanna make a claymore team since I fucking love claymores but chongyun is my only competent claymore user so far lmaooo

leveling up characters is rly the most 😩 part of this game but I understand they can't really make it easier bc then it makes the game. too easy? I guess lmao. but godddd yeah that boss for the juvenile jades is such a pain (although the oceanid still wins in terms of pure pain in the ass) like it isn't even particularly hard but it takes forever to kill and it's annoying for me bc I don't have any good geo/shield characters to make shields with except maybe geo traveler but they kinda really suck 😩
