Getting to know your moots

Tagged by @makoredeyes <3

•What's the origin of your blogs title?

In the ancient times, I was a mommy blogger, and the title of my blog was "Slave to the House" (I did not see the poisonous irony at the time). Later, when I moved away from that circle of hell, I realized that I had a ton of OCs who made a lot of noise in my head. If I was writing, RPing or drawing something they wouldn't do, they'd whine and complain about it until I fixed whatever it was. Thus, I am a slave to my headcanon.

•Favorite fandoms

I am ever a slut for Destiny 2, and I adore Titanfall 2 very very muchly. I am often fandom adjacent, to where I enjoy art from many fandoms (Transformers, Team Fortress 2, Wicked, etc) even though I'm not necessarily active in them, and I celebrate my friends' interests even if they are not my own and will seek out artwork and other things specifically to give to them, kind of like a cat bringing 'a present' home to its owner.

•OTPs+Ship name

All ships are valid. Yes, even that one. YES, even that one that makes you uncomfortable. I am unabashedly proship and a multishipper.

My OTPs are BT/Jack/Blisk and permutations thereof, as well as Felwinter/Osiris/Timur and permutations (especially with Saint-14). As I mentioned, I'm a slut for Destiny 2 therefore any and all ships contained therein are my jam (too many to name specifically but Candal and Drifteris are choice). Special mention to my boy Gheleon who I will shove into a closet with anyone who's hot. Stormpilot, Reaper76, Spiderpool, Spirit Assassin, Kylux, Destiel, Wincest, Victuuri (and others) - I am not what I would call active in these fandoms any more and don't necessarily seek them out intentionally, but I always enjoy when they cross my dash.

•Favourite colours Cool jewel tones like emerald, sapphire and amethyst. Cobalt blue is probably my ultra favorite.

•Favourite game

Destiny 2! I tend to hyperfocus on one game at a time (currently have 11k+ hours in Destiny 2 since I started playing in 2019). Previously played hundreds of hours of Titanfall 2. Prior to that it was Lord of the Rings Online, Diablo 3, City of Heroes, and EverQuest.

•Weirdest habit/trait

I'm not really sure this qualifies as weird but I eat certain foods in layers. For example, if I'm eating a Kit-Kat, I will take a single section, eat the chocolate off the edges first, then the top, then I will eat each wafer individually. If I have a Three Musketeers bar, I will eat the chocolate off the outside first, then the nougat (I do this in bite size chunks, I don't skin the entire candy bar in one go), etc. Other layered foods I generally eat normally e.g. I don't disassemble my sandwiches; it's pretty much only sweets that I do this with.

•Hobbies

I am an AVID enjoyer of fiber arts. I know how to loom knit, knit, crochet and Tunisian crochet (as well as cross-stitch, embroider, and latch hook, though I don't actively DO these things). I struggle with my brain to actually FINISH things that I start, but I do enjoy it very much. I am getting ready to explore dyeing my own fiber very soon. I write fanfic when my muse cooperates with me, and I also draw. I love plants and nature and despite being old as fuck, I still hold out hope I might someday have my dream hobby farm. Although I haven't done it for many years due to finances and lack of space, I was an avid stunt kite flyer when I was younger, and I was pretty good at it and owned several kites, ranging from three feet to twelve feet. I was just getting into ultralights when I had to exit that hobby and I miss it an awful lot.

•Something you're good at

I think I'm good at spur-of-the-moment shitposting. What I mean is, I'm pretty good at scribbling out something I find amusing very quickly when inspiration strikes. I'm an idea guy. I have a lot of great ideas, but not always the talent to execute them. I still think they're pretty good ideas though.

•Something you're bad at

I'm not that great at Being Human. I often forget how social interactions work and saying things like "please', 'thank you', 'you're welcome' etc aren't real high on my priority list because it always seems like it should be implied. I struggle with explaining why I do things and often make it worse if I try because the stepping stones in my thought process are not linear and my brain will go from Point A to Point F in .2 nanoseconds and it's hard to explain Points B through E because they happen so fast.

•Something you excel at

Procrastination.

•Something you love

Forests, the smell of dirt after it rains, the ocean, the beach (not the tourist kind, the rocky kind where stuff lives), the night sky, music that gives me chills.

•Something you could talk about for hours without off the cuff

Fiber arts one million percent. Destiny 2 stuff is right up there.

•Something you hate

Hate's a strong word that I don't use very often. Most everyday things I don't vibe with I will simply say I dislike. However, given the state of the world right now, I'm just going to say I hate Nazis and rich people in positions of power (especially rich white men).

•Something you collect

Destiny 2 merch. I have so, so much. I used to collect dragons and griffons but I've moved on from that. Although, I think with the number of tarot decks I have, that probably counts as a collection too.

•Something you forget

I often forget that not everyone wants advice (I learned it from my mom, sorry).

•What's your love language

Gifts. If I find out there's something you want, it's entirely possible it will show up out of the blue in your mail. I try to be very very thoughtful with my gift-giving (and also very very sneaky because I love blindsiding my friends with a treat), because for decades I picked out my own birthday and christmas presents because the person(s) I was involved with couldn't be bothered. Basically I treat other people how I wish I'd been treated.

•Favorite movie/show

I have many because I tend to watch the same things over and over again (dozens, hundreds of times in some cases) but my main comfort movies are Tron, Tron Legacy, Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers, Princess Mononoke, Whale Rider, and Never Cry Wolf.

•Favorite food

Oh lort. I love all kinds of food, and I consider myself an "adventurous" eater, so it's really hard to pick one thing. I can narrow it down to bulgogi, bibimbap, spam musubi, tamales, and something I only know as "spam and noodles" that my dad made for me growing up, and I in turn make for my kids.

•Favorite animal

Another difficult one. Animals are so cool in so many different ways. I think I'll have to go with the humble chicken, for now. I had several for a time and it's absolutely obvious they are dinosaurs if you sit and watch them for a while.

•Favorite subject in school

Art. It had a lot to do with my teacher, who pretty much gave me free rein to do whatever I wanted as long as I also did the assignments. Ask me about my massive airbrushed Dragonlance poster.

•Least favourite subject

Any flavor of math.

•What's your best character trait?

My stubbornness. It's kept me alive this long.

•If you could change any detail of your day right now, what would it be?

I would have liked to have an extra day off from work.

•If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

My great-great grandparents, who came from Čáslav in the (now) Czech Republic.

•Recommend one of your favorite fanfics

One? ONE? No way.

My bestie @makoredeyes has written some of the most exquisite fics (I am truly spoiled) so ANYTHING they've written is gonna be a recommended read from me, but I am also going to single out one of the most devastatingly heartbreaking stories I've ever had the pleasure to cry over, Damages Done. Seriously, folks, this one's a rough ride. I am also offering up In Turn by IsraelHandsDown, which pretty much jumpstarted my love for Drifteris.

Huge shoutout to @gileonnen for A Heart of Wings. There is so much breathtaking detail in this fic, I absolutely adore it. Another writer whose entire catalog is worth checking out!

Mako already tagged most of our moots so in the interest of not spamming the exact same people, I'm tagging @fruityshirts, @water-you-not-doing, @tarakanpaintedpurple, @imonthemoonitsmadeofcheese and @arcaneglitch

BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO. No obligation. I know how these things are <3

[cicaklah]

fic author q&a

thank you @the-lady-general for tagging me, I love to procrastinate by doing stuff like this.

1. Why do you write fanfic?

because my brain is a relentless what-if machine and it can't be stopped or tamed. If I wasn't writing it down I'd be losing time just thinking about it, trust me, its far better this way.

and because I love writing, love the fic community, and just love creativity. I've been reading fic literally every single day since I was 11 or 12 and I'm now 38. I'm passionate about the fic writing world and my experience in the 'conventional' writing space has been nothing but anxiety, inferiority and bitterness.

2. Which of your posted stories do you think about the most, even though the story is “finished”?

I don't tend to feel like that about my stories, because I am always up to write sequels or prequels to things, or add stuff onto various universes. I still think often about weibermacht, which is the name of the sex club in my Hitman stories, and one day I will write a proper weibermacht story, but the reason I still think about stories is because they aren't properly finished. I also think a lot about the watch me series because I feel guilty that I never finished it. I have at least another 3 stories in various stages of writing.

I'm planning on doing a WIP amnesty next year (once One Man is finished), and I'm hoping that it will get me to finish some of these things I want to return to, but haven't since.

3. If you could give yourself fic advice from when you first started writing fic, what would that advice be?

Use the momentum of being really into something to make more art. Write as much fic as you can, and don't let guilt catch up with you. It doesn't matter if it sucks; you have to love it, and if you love it in the moment, you are going in the right direction.

4. What’s your relationship to fic stats?

As a professional sort-of statistician I adore them, I wish there were more of them, specifically available over time, and also the number of subscriptions to series would help me as someone who writes in that way. BUT: comparison is the thief of joy. My big fic-related breakdown was over constantly comparing myself to the people I thought were my peers. Stats don't tell you why you aren't doing better than someone, and I know from my profession that you can't just assume things from numbers.

5. Is there a pairing or scenario or friendship you miss writing? If so, why? If not, why not?

I miss Stormpilot (Finn/Poe) circa 2017. What a beautiful time. It will never come again, even if we got something to make the ship sail again, the world has changed.

6. What motivates you to write?

Much like the lady general, I am motivated by wanting to tell jokes, or by specific ideas that enter my brain and won't let go. I am motivated to keep going on one man because there are specific stories I need to share with the rest of the class, but I must tell the rest of the story in order to get there. The journey is the point, but so is the punchline.

7. Why do you write for the fandom(s) that you write for?

Star Trek, specifically SNW, is my current blorbo, so I write for myself and my id on that one. Hitman is for the thirsty thirteen and because its OTP. Oxventure is...complicated. I am so very burned out on that fandom. Super Secret RPF pairing is because of my co-conspirators <3. I've also written way, way too many things because Phoenix and I have talked about them and I've then be POSSESSED.

8. If you’re stuck writing a WIP, what do you do?

As long as I'm still interested in the project, I do my best to push through. I have the philosophy that a story doesn't really exist until it is published anyway. I do have an abandoned WIP folder, and within that is a folder called 'look I'm never writing these ones'. There are 12 stories in that folder. Meanwhile there are 134 I have yet to give up on, not including the 4 that are currently in progress (not including one man.)

Basically I need another WIP amnesty.

9. What do you wish people knew about comments?

They really are the fuel on the fire. I have finished stories because of comments. I have written entire worlds because of comments. I do my best to answer every single comment, and I try to also leave comments as much as I can. At the same time, I have to, for my own sanity, try not to put too much stock in them, because we have to be self-fuelling machines, we have to be self-raising lazaruses. You have to write for yourself, because if you base everything on other people's opinions, you will die nobody.

10. Maybe there’s a question you wish had been on here. What’s that question (and answer)?

I think the question I'd like to ask is what is your personal greatest fic achievement? Not your most popular story, what was the story that you still look at and go: I will never not be proud of that achievement. Mine is the fact I have published 750,000 words and 130 stories and I still feel like I'm only just getting started. That the perseverance over the last 14 years proves that I can do whatever I set my mind to, that I am valuable in a way that matters, and all the doubters of my youth can go fuck themselves forever.

I'm tagging @postalninja, @stickthisbig, @android-and-ale and @alienfuckeronmain and anyone else who wants to do it. lets navel gaze, lads.

Uncontrollable Power of OTP, or Shipper Temptation Menace

How people become shippers, you ask. I've got a scary story about this. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this spooky drama 😁

***

Me, introducing my friend to Gingerrose (or any other hot OTP of mine), in The Snake-Tempter mode: Just read about them, they are such an interesting characters and have great delicious tension together, and fit each other so well, and bla bla bla... *a flood of reasons for this ship, canon facts, character analysis, own headcanons etc, etc, etc*

My friend, hating this ship and/or this franchise as a whole: No, thank you.

Me: Just for me? *Shrek cat eyes*

My friend: Damn, ok. I'll try to taste this trash just a little bit.

My friend after reading one fucking fanfic:

My friend after watching the most beautiful & hot fanarts*:

*especially Lilithsaur's; God bless this really powerful artist XD

My friend in the end:

Me:

**some time later**

My other friend, unfamiliar with this ship/this franchise or hating it: Hey dudes, how can you like this trash?

My newly-converted friend: Shut up, poor fool, you know nothing! *gives a global overview of this franchise and this ship, so full and in-depth it commensurate with a doctoral dissertation*

Me: *suddenly feel like I learned a lot, and a bit envious of such enlightenment of yesterday's neophyte*

My other friend:

My newly-converted friend: Wanna read about them??? I have many awesome fanfics, arts and videos!!11 *tempting power 80 lvl, so much more than I ever had*

My other friend: Damn you, ok. Maybe this will calm you down.

My other friend after several good fanfics and fanarts:

**some time later**

Everybody around:

Me who initially started all this and now partially satisfied, partially scared:

The end.

The moral of the story is, shippers can leave even tempter demons in the dust, and shipping is more contagious than plague, especially when they ship really hot couple 😁😁😁
