6, 17, and/or 22 for fanfic ask meme, please?
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
Not from the FFXV fandom. There's many talented authors in this fandom, but when I read FFXV fanfic, it makes me lose the will to write my own. It's weird and buggs me, because I want to read all those amazing works.
Outside of the FFXV fandom, I love the fic New Genesis by deanine, it's from FFXVI, and Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514 which is a Batman fic.
17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?
I learned that I hate participles. XD (Language creation is hard)
The most recent thing would be that I learned about Arabian architecture thanks to @raven-6-10. Which is really fun!
And the thing before that was the layout of Ancient Roman kitchens and what kinds of food they te back then. (It's fascinating to learn what spices they had access to, because it implies how widespread trade was back then. It's really cool.) (I learned that for my Times Immemorial au fics)
22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?
Roughly.
I know who lives and who is dead by the end and if it's a happy ending. That's about it. The details come when I actually get to writing it.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.
as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."
NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10
I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10, I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10, I WAS GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HERMITCRAFT S10, I WAS GOING TO BE NORM-
But just:
The two new hermits (Joel and Skizz) were from the life series and they immediately play demise which was a precursor to the life series
Gem and Impulse build on a cherry blossom mountain again
Scar and Joel are living on a mountain together and when Scar mentioned the name Magic Mountain they immediately looked at each other and Joel made a declaration that this will last longer than Magical Mountain
Impulse giving Bdubs a clock
Grian using sunflowers in his wheat field while he's neighbouring Scar
Etho telling Gem "Did that make you jump" when they fell off the hill in a boat together
Pearl calling the place she's building in a mound
Joel's reaction to seeing Etho on a boat
Yeah

am i crazy for thinking it should be a legal requirement for people selling arrangements with lilies to have a warning about their lethality to cats? they are one of the most common plants found in bouquets (unlike most other lethal plants like oleander and sago palm, which are usually found potted solo) and so many owners or well-meaning gift-givers are completely unaware of how a single lick of pollen is enough to kill a cat, meaning unlike other potential toxins they just get left as a table centerpiece. like sure, chocolate and grapes can kill your dog, but you are probably not intentionally leaving chocolate and grapes on surfaces your dog can reach (and they also don't shed particles). about 30% of american homes have cats in them, a percentage you can't really gloss over when it comes to precaution. if you work with florals please, please post visible warnings by your lilies, it will save kitty lives. 🙏
