#otp: you. me. infinity

[oakwolves]

if you're doing the otp ask: 8, 22, 36 for rymin

8. What happens if one of them gets sick?

Ryan tends to shrug things off when he's sick (he did so a lot while traveling alone) so things'll have to get really bad for him to admit he needs help. Which Min-Gi is always willing to do even if he gently chides Ryan about taking better care of his health.

When it comes to Min-Gi, Ryan's absolutely determined to help him feel better before they get back to anything band related.

22. What reminds each of their partner?

Sunshine reminds Min-Gi of Ryan because of Ryan's passion and smile. He even calls Ryan "my sunshine" sometimes.

Dumpty's reminds Ryan of Min-Gi because of how much they spend together planning their band, and continue to do so post-book 4

36. Who's more likely to fire up the stove at 2am because the other woke up in the middle of the night hungry?

Definitely Ryan, wanting an excuse to show off the cooking skills he learned while going solo.

[scarlet-witchery]

cool so I think I've got the r63 plot worked out—au after winter soldier and ending somewhere after civil war but going majorly au for all of it (I wanna keep the infinity war nonsense in case I feel like using it later for a sequel or some shit), and doing lots of flashback goodness and having the pining and then contrast it with the modern day shit, etc. etc. I know I'm making no sense BUT apparently I had a lot of feelings about hair as it relates to identity and dehumanization hahaahaaa

now to come up with a decent plot for a maxicest Pietro lives au for the mcu so I can at least have it planned out (vision whomst? I don't know her 💅🏻) so that'll be...an undertaking, but it'll probably be focused on stuff that's not in the movies and a massive overhaul of civil war—but apparently that's just my M.O. at this point!

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

since it's pride month, i want to highlight my favorite underrated/underappreciated queer characters and ships! (part 1/???)

(feel free to add more!)

Lake - Infinity Train (non-canon)

it's not canon but you cannot tell me that Lake isn't an allegory for trans/nb people. her arc is so beautiful and her character resonates with me so much!

i have to admit, i actually kinda hated her in the beginning because of how aggressive and rude she was, but she actually gets good character development and you can also understand why she was the way she was, being a good representation of a minority who is constantly suffering because of the social norms she’s forced into. also i don’t ship her with jesse but i do like the idea of them in a qpr or just being platonic besties.

(i use she/her pronouns for Lake because that's what they use in the series, but also because not all non-binary people use they/them, and it's kinda weird to see people insist on using they/them for Lake just because she's nb-coded. she has never shown an aversion to bring referred to with she/her pronouns.)

Le Chevre x El Topo - Carmen Sandiego (canon)

they are side characters who don't play a huge role in the narrative but they are a really cute couple and have been confirmed to be canon! even without the confirmation, it’s clear that they were written to be a romantic couple.

mild spoiler: after the series ends, they stop being antagonists and instead put up a food truck together! it’s the cutest thing, i swear

Ryan x Min-gi - Infinity Train (non-canon)

my OTP through and through! i say non-canon but the romance is so heavily implied, you cannot ignore it.

they're a good example of childhood friends who had a complicated relationship where both individuals did something wrong, but in the end, they grow as people and manage to mend their relationship together.

Moomin x Snufkin - Moominvalley (canon)

i have only read one of the books and watched a few clips of these two characters but from that alone, it's clear that they were written as lovers (and the author is queer too!)

they are a beautiful portrayal of long-distance relationship where both individuals have different needs in life, but still want to be with each other regardless.

Terrestrius / Terry - The Dragon Prince (canon)

Terry is canonically transmasc and they actually manage to explain this in the series, without making it sound too forced or expository. he's such a sweetheart too, and his relationship with Claudia is actually really sweet, despite the fact that she's one of the villains.

Carmen x Julia - Carmen Sandiego (non-canon)

again, i say non-canon but it is heavily implied that they have feelings for each other, especially in the extra interactive episode, where Carmen leaves a bouquet of red roses for Julia, and Julia is shown to blush when receiving them.

Amaya x Janai - The Dragon Prince (canon)

what’s that? it’s actually possible to write an enemies to lovers romance that is healthy and not extremely abusive?

Amaya and Janai have such a good relationship in S5 (and Amaya is also a great disabled representation!) Janai actually learns sign language to communicate with Amaya, and there are no unnecessary miscommunication plots or drama, they’re just a really loving wlw couple.

Benson x Troy - Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (canon)

when i say we need more mlm ships in animated media!! i’m so glad us sapphics are getting a lot of representation but it’s time cartoons started including more queer men.

benson and troy are just a really sweet couple with a good relationship that doesn’t have a ton of pining or unnecessary angst. while i love complex and tragic queer relationships, i also think that it’s good to show teenagers just being teenagers sometimes.

this opinion seems to be scarce in the queer community, which really annoys me tbh.

Raine x Eda - The Owl House (canon)

i cannot believe that given the popularity of TOH, Raeda is still such an overlooked ship. this might be an unpopular opinion but Raeda is better written and has more chemistry than Lumity and Huntlow.

just within the span of Raine's introductory episode, they managed to establish a clearly romantic past between these two characters, and also an interesting dynamic. and even though they didn't have much screentime, they still turned out to be the best ship in the series. (again, just my opinion, don't come at me)

i think it's so important to show older queer people in media, just as it is important to show younger queer characters. it helps establish the fact that queerness has always existed and isn't some newfound trend that social media invented. not to mention, raeda is one of the very few canon ships that include a non-binary character.

[fyodcrs]

can I ask why you ship dazai x fyodor? just curious! I feel like not a lot of people do

Hi, anon! Not enough people ship fyozai, that's for sure :/

Why do I ship them? Because of this:

And this:

And this:

And they're canon, actually:

And just, like, whatever they had going on in Dead Apple:

They are just so interesting together. I went into depth on my view of the two of them in this post (an older post now, but it still sums it up pretty well), but it really comes down to how fascinating it is how their characters play off of one another. They are the perfect enemies-to-lovers ship, if you ask me.

They can predict what moves the other one will make and they can predict that the other one will predict that they’re predicting each other, and they can predict that the other one will predict that the other one will predict - on and on into infinity sdfghjghj (although according to the anime Fyodor couldn't predict that Dazai would stick Chuuya in a Halloween costume...but I'm not going to rant about The Season Finale That Shall Not Be Acknowledged here). They're ridiculous. Completely and utterly ridiculous. They play mental chess together.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SECRET LANGUAGE.

THEY ARE SOULMATES.

I love their dynamic and how they stand opposed to each other. It's not that one of them is "good" and the other is "evil." Dazai is not good. Fyodor believes that humanity is sinful and foolish. Dazai does not disagree with him. He does not think humanity is good or that the world is a good place. Dazai is amoral; he is not Kunikida, an idealist pursuing justice, and he is not kind-hearted Atsushi.

Really the difference between Dazai and Fyodor is their opposing views of how the world works and should work. Fyodor wants order, perfect justice. Dazai does not believe such a thing exists. It's not that Dazai has hope where Fyodor does not; it's just that Dazai has accepted the world for all its darkness, and Fyodor has not.

And Fyodor does not believe there is any value to life. Dazai is starting to believe there is.

That's such an interesting and multilayered conflict that could be explored in so many different ways...especially if you do what I do and headcanon a redemption arc for Fyodor, haha. They are a lot of fun to write fics of! 😆

Two superhuman geniuses that are so evenly matched they could rule the world together if they wanted. What's not to love about that? I absolutely adore them 😌💖💖

Honestly, I've been a lot more into fyosig lately (talk about a rarepair SDFGHFGH), but fyozai is still my main otp. It's a shame more people don't ship them! I just think they're neat (´꒳`)♡

Thanks a lot for asking, anon! Do you ship Dazai and/or Fyodor with anyone? If you don't mind me asking :3

[cornunut]

Talk about your son Diallos for the ask meme. Now 🫵

you asked this so quickly after i reblogged im scared

- favourite thing about them

he’s so caring 🥹 he’s in his nepo baby released into the wild arc when lanya dies and then proceeds to be gaslit into infinity and beyond, but it’s obvious he really did care about her and her death hit him so hard. despite him making Bad Decisions. and then he proceeds to tend to the jars and even lays his life down for them. guh.

- least favourite thing about them

dude he’s so fucking stupid. he doesn’t think. yes this is a charm point but it drives me insane sometimes. when he’s in the volcano manor yapping about tanith telling him he’s The Specialist Boy Ever i want to shake him violently so his last two braincells rattle around in his head connect and make a thought

- favourite line

“aren’t you full of beans” sir what does that Mean you’re so fucking british (affectionate). or “do they think me a fool?” right before saying one of the dumbest things you’ve ever heard

- brOTP

juno & diallos for the “elder brother lowkey parented younger brother that’s 9+ years younger than him + thinks he’s a fucking idiot but loves him anyway.” then diallos idolizes juno so much and wants to be like him despite juno sitting there like “maybe Don’t.” do you think juno is actually a brunette but he went grey at 20 because of diallos is that why he’s so chronically 🫥 (i don’t but i had to joke)

- OTP

LUCIO DIALLOS THE WORLD ‼️‼️‼️🫶 i will be insane about my oc/npc ship that i barely publicly talk about Thank You Very Much

- nOTP

uhhhh probably diallos/lanya? idk i prefer them better as friends/dumbass #1 and slightly less of a dumbass #2

- random headcanon

torrent fucking hates him for reasons unknown (read: horses are inexplicably assholes sometimes. also i think it’s funny considering lucio is such a horsegirl.)

- unpopular opinion

i hate it when people portray his relationship with juno as toxic 😭 it just does not vibe in my mind!!! yes juno has a grand total of three paragraphs describing his personality but one of those three paragraphs explicitly says he adores diallos!!!!!

- song i associate with them

songs i associate with him are mostly lucio/diallos related tbh. big one is crybaby by waterparks.

- favourite picture of them

i have. So Many. here is my curated collection.

sopping wet cat got shrimped

diallos Peek

babygirling

felt cute might ask my very dead friend if she can hear me talking to her

[cyberdragoninfinity]

Aporia for the ask meme!

LOVE OF MY LIFEEEEEE

Why I like them/why I don’t: ive made 32482389 posts about him but Aporia is just genuinely such a fantastic character and NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE'S WAY IN THE BACK OF 5DS AND HALF OF HIS DUELS DIDNT GET DUBBED!! GAAAAHHH hes my wife my babygirl i will be the CEO of Aporia if no one else will this angelic werelion robot is so cool and so sad and just such a stellar baddie. he's sexy also. who said that.

What I like about their appearance: he truly has one of the most batshit bonkers yugioh character designs and it RULES!! HE'S GOT BIG OL WEREWOLF CLAWS AND FANGS AND A SICK METAL HALO AND NOBODY CARES BUT I DO. I DO!!!!!!!!!!! i need to make my dissertation post about Why I Think Aporia Looks Like That cuz i have my theories. but also monster robot cool as hell

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?: it's the same in both and i like a lot <3 i do think i like the Emperors' dub names a smidge more though. Primo as a name is just. so perfect.

OTP: accidentally fucked around and because the guy who has An Associated Nicheship but the sun could be swallowing up the earth and i would still be shrieking and howling about zoneporia. i love divorce.

NOTP: why is aporia/leo a ship on the 5ds shipping list. im going to kill you.

OT3: more like OT4!!!! ILIASTER PEEPAW POLYCULE OLD FRIENDS SENIOR APOCALYPSE SURVIVOR SANCTUARY REAL AND TRUE TO MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Favourite card they use: IT'S SO HARD TO PICKKKKKK I LOVE MY MEKLORDS. chaos infinity as like. a Card mechanics-wise kind of sucks but i love it a lot, i need a site where i use chaosinfinity as my username. I also really like Afterglow of course, and Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk <3 Fucked Up Weird Wyrm <33

Favourite moment they were in: The Afterglow Gambit (of course), but especially right before that, when Aporia slowly moved all of his normal sized cards to his graveyard one at a time in his fuckoff big claws. THE "oh i think i might be obsessed with this guy" moment of all time for me

Least favourite moment: the dub's "ending" where aporia just CRASHES INTO THE OCEAN AND DIES AND THAT'S IT!!!! SHOW'S OVER!!!! *punching the floor getting mad about my favorite 5ds duels not getting dubbed again*

Something I associate with the character: mythical lions, especially of the 'composite animal' variety (sphinxes, manticores, chimeras especially)

Would I fuck, marry or kill them: coughs. ok i will leave this question in just for this one. since aporia is 50 or 80 or 38323 years old. anyway last month was the 2nd anniversary of the night something happened to me and i became inflicted with lust for an anime man. god bless

[mischief-and-tea-by-the-sea]

Mischief has received a tag!

@soliloquent-stark Tagged me to do this thing!

rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there’s a pattern!

1. May: Part 5 of Frost & Forge-Fire: A Year of OTP 2023 Frostiron 12 Month Anthology of a Relationship

The first time Loki sent Tony flowers, he was off on a mission with Steve, Thor, and Natasha while the inventor stayed behind with the others to worry about their significant others.

2. A place where sinners fall in love

Loki stared at the wreckage around the entrance hall of the palace, vases and other statues overturned and shattered across the once clean and shining marble floor.

(Note: That is not the exact first line, but it's the first line that's not just Loki's inner thoughts.)

3. Dancing in my storm

“Is this something the Avengers can and, more importantly, will help us with?”

4. To be in love with the masterpiece

“Loki! Where’re you headed? The studio’s back that way,” Steve called out when he saw one of his friends booking it away from the art building. He was on his way to the art studio from the parking lot and caught the swish of a short black ponytail bouncing in the opposite direction.

(Note: Okay, you got me. It's more than just one line.)

5. Eden revives in the first kiss of love

When Logan woke up, it was to the caress of sunlight on his eyelids and the warm breath of a kiss on his lips.

6. Under blue moon, I saw you

“Oh sweet fucking Norns,” Loki exclaimed.

7. You are the ghost behind my eyes

Steve had returned all of the Infinity stones as per his last mission as Captain America.

8. Heartache to heartache, we stand

Thanos’ army arrived like a swarm, decimated the compound, and left the sky black as if they’d put out the sun.

9. Take me back to the night we met

Tony bent over his scratched and dented Iron Man helmet.

10. Half past four and shifting gear

“You hear about Loki?”

Holy crap! I have patterns! Ones that my college creative writing profs would be so proud of me for. At least in these 10 fics (and very likely the ones following those), I start my fics either with immediate action or dialogue (speaking = action). I do remember when I started writing back in the Middle Stone Ages that I thought I needed to always "set the scene," especially with long rolling descriptions so anyone reading could 'see' where they were. I think I still sometimes try to set the scene, but it was 'gently' recommended by two of the profs I admire the most to start with action, dialogue, and one of them especially loved starting a story In medias res, and with "Under blue moon, I saw you," that was the start I gave it.

Who'da thunk that at almost 51, I'd finally grasp all those things my favorite writing profs kept encouraging? Go me!

Anyone else pick up patterns I haven't mentioned (or noticed)?

simon infinitytrain?

send me a character and i'll list the below things about them | accepting!

HELLO ANON. i do not know if you'll ever see this because it took me ten years, but here i am, answering you.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT THEM:

fun fact: simon infinity train is the reason i have a disclaimer about me getting attached to tragic antagonists in my pinned post. so you can probably make an educated guess what i like about him.

he's just. such a well written character. i love how his negative character development was contrasted against grace's positive character development. i love how the writers did a really good job of making him infuriating and sympathetic at the same time.

i'll go more into my thoughts on him in a later section, but yeah, the tl:dr is he really just is my character type hahaha.

he's just a really complex character and imo the writers nailed that.

LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THEM:

okay well, this answer changes depending on if you mean from a writing perspective or a 'him as a person' perspective. from a writing perspective, 100/10, no notes. i can't think of anything i disliked.

from a PERSON perspective. episode 6 makes me want to murder this man <3 i want to put tape over his mouth every time he speaks in that episode. it's somehow WAY worse than when he's just straightup being an over-dramatic anime villain at the end of the season.

FAVORITE LINE:

oh there are many. i need to rewatch again. but the ones that live in my brain rent free are ALL after his downward spiral begins:

"teamwork begins with two people trusting eachother. but you? you're no person." dramatic effect. extremely traumatizing for everybody who's ever watched this show. 10/10

"i liked what we had, but you made me do it! you betrayed the apex. and you betrayed me." again, dramatic effect. really gives you a feel for what's going on in his head, i think. 10/10

"why would i ever want to change if i'm always right!?" iconic. i think this is the one people remember the most from him, along with the one from ep 5.

BROTP & OTP (combining because my answer is the same for both):

grace. lol. full stop. hopefully i don't have to explain that i am VERY AWARE that their relationship was unhealthy in many, MANY ways. that is what i like about it. i'm a huge fan of messy relationships in fiction. i am a self proclaimed angst fiend.

the tragedy of it all is 100% the appeal of it for me, from either a platonic OR romantic standpoint. i love that. and yes, i do ship them to an extent- but NOT in the "i think they should have gotten together in canon" way. again, the angst is the appeal!!

i admit i do also enjoy aus where they fix their relationship, but not INSTEAD of the canon, more so in ADDITION to the canon. i think it's a fun alternate route to explore, but i deeply adore what the infinity train writers did with them in the show and that will not be changing.

NOTP:

literally any of the protags from the previous seasons. y'all, simon and grace are 18. you can't be shipping them with the 13-14 year olds. please stop. (nobody here! i mostly see this on ao3, honestly.)

RANDOM HEADCANON:

i think simon has been back to the cat multiple times in secret.

i really like the theory that he got some of the apex's tech from her. the main thing i have to support this is this line from the episode where he returns to her cabin in book 3:

"i knew you'd have something. you always do."

particularly i think there's a good chance he got the unmodified gravity boots from her (and likely modified them himself) and possibly also the number tracker.

UNPOPULAR OPINION:

oh i'm sure a lot of what i've already said has been an unpopular opinion, haha. i'm one of those people that's so in the middle in a debate that both sides of it have reasons to disagree with me.

i really like simon. he and grace are my favorite characters in the show. there are parts where i feel really bad for him, and parts where i want to yell at him and hit him over the head with a very large stick.

i see his death as a tragedy in universe, but also a really good writing choice on the part of the infinity train crew.

i don't think they secretly had a scheme to make us dislike him. i think it was written in such a way that it makes sense that some people would have a viscerally negative reaction to him, and others wouldn't. he's a very complex character and that's good writing!!!

i think the tragedy was the point, which is something both people who like him and people who hate him seem to completely overlook in a lot of cases. it's either "woohoo! simon died!" or "killing simon was bad writing he should have been redeemed >:/" not "oh this is really sad but i love it from a story perspective."

i don't think he was "irredeemable", per-say. the fact is, he was faced with a pivotal choice in episode five, and he picked the wrong one. he chose to double-down. i love that. i really do. i love the downward spiral. it's painful in the best way. i would not change the canon show for the world. again, 100/10, no notes.

but i can also see a universe where he made the right choice. i was writing a fic about that, once. (which admittedly has some characterization issues which i would fix if i tried it again.) i think it was possible. and i think that's a fun route to explore too. not a better route from a writing standpoint, but a good one.

i have so many more thoughts but this has already gotten really long, and i have two more questions to go, lol. but if you want to hear anymore you're free to send me another ask about it!

but, for now, moving on.

SONG I ASSOCIATE WITH THEM:

someone else on tumblr pointed out that "the moon will sing" by the crane wives is a good fit for simon @ grace and now i can't unhear it.

and, finally, FAVORITE PICTURE OF THEM:

anime villain simon my beloved.

[littlemisspascal]

twenty questions for fic writers

Thank you so much for the tag @kteague ✨💖

1. how many works do you have on AO3? - 55 (but technically, I listed out the chapters of Death and an Angel individually as fics before combining them in one altogether so the number's a little less)

2. what's your total AO3 word count? - 399,907 (again, a bit less cuz of reason above)

3. what fandoms do you write for? - Pedro Pascal mainly. Then the one fic for Melshi from Andor.

4. top five fics by kudos -

The Infinity Cube - multi-Pedro Pascal boys/Female Reader

Establish Ties - chapter of Death and an Angel

Together - chapter of Death and an Angel

Death and an Angel - Din/Female Reader

Mailroom Crush - Javier P/Female Reader

5. do you respond to comments? - Usually yes. Though sometimes life gets hectic and it takes me a bit.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? - I don't really like unhappy/angsty endings so...hmm...I guess Bitter Ends Turn Sweet in Time cuz it's kind of an open-sorta-hopeful ending?

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? - Infinity Cube's pretty dang sappy if I do say so myself. Also Love Triangles has a really sweet ending too.

8. do you get hate on fics? - In the past I got told my fics weren't worth reading because there isn't smut in them. And a few times I've been told they didn't like the endings of certain fics, that it would've been better and more preferable to them if I'd done X, Y or Z. But lately since engagement's been down across the board, the hate's been gone too.

9. do you write smut? - If I do I write it as non-graphically as possible. I call it flowery writing, just pretty words strung together to get a vague picture across. Like in Before. When. After. or Into the Blue

10. craziest crossover: - I haven't written a crossover 🤔 but I mean, my Reader character literally travels the Pedro multiverse in Infinity Cube so maybe that's kinda sorta close?

11. have you ever had a fic stolen? - Not that I know of

12. have you ever had a fic translated? - Nope

13. have you ever co-written a fic before? - Me and @beecastle have teamed up before on a few fics. I'm a lousy writing partner tho. Very slow and picky so bless Bee for putting up with me

14. all time favorite ship? - I have so many otps. GhostSoap is very big for me at the moment tho <3

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? - The Last Mandalorian comes to mind. I have notes and notes and notes for that fic, but between my brain fighting me and also, like, 1% interest from readers it just doesn't seem like a likely goal to reach.

16. what are your writing strengths? - I don't really have any noteworthy ones

17. what are your writing weaknesses? - Too many to list here

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language? - No problem with it. I do prefer though where somewhere in the fic, either in parentheses afterwards or at the notes at bottom that it says what the meaning is because I'm lazy and don't wanna google it 😅

19. first fandom you wrote in? - Mandalorian

20. favorite fic you've written? - They're all faves in different ways. But...Before. When. After is special to me--not just cuz it's my only non-Pedro fic, but I think there's lines of writing in there that are some of my personal best 😊

Adam Warlock!

1. favorite thing about them

he’s so fuckin weird man doesn’t even attempt to be coherent to the twerps around him sorry in advance adam is the king of comedy to me

2. least favorite thing about them

again. he’s so fuckin weird man doesn’t even attempt to be coherent to the twerps around him

3. favorite line

literally anything he said in the eidos game had me howling. why does he rhyme? idk man he’s just committed to the bit.

1. brOTP

the infinity watch pals for ever and ever and ever <3 he needs people who aren’t intimidated by him to realise what a loser he actually is

5. OTP

don’t really have one! as I’ve said I love him and gamora together. thanos x adam shippers have a point. he’s just a bit (very) fucked up <3

6. nOTP

i don’t have one i don’t think!

7. random headcanon

he has an odd smell. almost metallic. you can taste it in that weird way if you’re stood very close to him. you can also feel the heat coming from him.

8. unpopular opinion

i think adam should show up in more low-stakes stories. it’d be interesting! i feel like nowadays he’s so associated with thanos and the stones writers don’t wanna bring him out when the guardians go to their latest Planet of the Week. but i think him dealing with mundane shit is very funny

9. song I associate with him

unfortunately due to a running gag it is Toxic by Britney Spears

10. favorite picture of them

curly haired greek god adam is everything to me

5 Songs 3 Outfits

@theviridianbunny tagged me for this. Thank you so much! Saw it in other blogs already and wanted to do it since then 💚

Rules: Post 5 songs associated with your OC, followed by 3 outfits they would wear. Doing this for Knife Queen ofc (I swear I am on it to create new OCs aswell but she will remain blorbo girl)

Songs

The misery to chose only 5 songs from a 4 hours long playlist.

No. 1 - Arlekino (Vincent Moretto)

If I had to chose a theme song for her it would be this one

No. 2 - Half Alligator (Shefound)

Reflects her girlboss vibes and I love the voice of the singer. Imagine Aon's voice would sound similar to this

No. 3 - DRILDO (Wargasm UK)

Rebel teenage brat Aon 100%

No. 4 - Free Animal (Foreign Air)

One of the newest additions to my playlist. Fits her alone and my ship

No. 5 - Deathless Song (Parkway Drive)

One of my favorite OTP songs

Outfits

3 outfits is actually pretty good since I have three 'themes' she would chose her cloathing for.

1 - Business

Leatherjacket - always a good choice. This for trips and meetings with clients.

2 - Workshop

Classical workshop attire, functional cloathing, 'Burn Corpo shit' is her favorite shirt

3 - Casual

This is her 'Rockrgirl / Riot against the World' look. Torn jeans, Band shirts, if you manage to get her out to a chill night in a bar she would wear that

Ofc I would recolor all of this and make it more unique with her own Logo, patches, Shirt prints etc. But not yet. I am on the quest to get a PC. Will just take a little while longer.

Tagging @blackrevell @olath124 @cyberholic77 @wanderingaldecaldo @cybervesna @dustymagpie @corpocookie @luvwich for it. No pressure as always!

(pic is by @cybervesna. Still love it to infinity ❤️‍🔥)

SHIPPER TAG GAME

Tagged by @brazilian-whalien52

1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore?

Honestly- and this PAAAAAAINS to me to say since my middle-school self would be furious at me-but probably Troyella. Obviously, still love them. Still think of them fondly, but compared to other ships, they're on the lower end.

2. Which ship would you consider your first one?

I'm TEMPTED to say troyella again since they were the ship that made me realize what shipping was- and how hard it can go for a fangirl. But in terms of a ship you remember watching, loving, and loving seeing their interactions, that would have to be Tom and Kimberly from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Their chemistry, their moments were the reason why I loved the show so much

I didn't know what ship or OTP meant, but they were the definitely the first couple I remembered LOVING seeing them together

3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?

That would be Troy & Gabriella. The movie wasn't enough for me, so I decided to make more stories on them

4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?

That would be a tie between InuKag and Robstar. Those were the top 2 ships I remember seeing TONS of Youtube videos and fanart in middle school.

5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?

*thinks hard* I want to say....no. Least I can't remember. I just chill in my little corner with my friends, gushing & reading fics of our ships

6. Did you used to have any no-otp or have it currently?

The way I DESPISED LOATHED AND HATED TROYPAY with a burning, burning deep passion. Couldn't stand the ship. Still don't like the ship. And obviously, Tommy x Kat because NO NO NO NO

7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?

Payurain in this WIP I'm really enjoying. Seriously, love these two boys

8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?

Oh dear lord, my OTPS literally have their yachts at this point. And the list of the top ones constantly switch, but at the moment I can say my top 6 include: drarry, zutara, sheith, tododeku, payurain, and of course dickkory

9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

Oh. Dear. Lord. The way at least several ships can fit this question, but that belongs to my top 3 ships that were done so dirty.

OBVIOUSLY-and forever fuming about it-THESE TWO:

Forever and ALWAYS THESE TWO that had everything. The history, the chemistry, best friends to lovers, ride or die, battle couple...and yet the writers were like, nah

TO INFINITY & BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND: DRARRY . You can't tell me NOTHING. If Harry was a girl, they would have been endgame. If Draco was a girl, they definitely would have gotten together. I will forever stand on this hill

10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

I wouldn't dislike at all, but I can definitely say after the previous season, they got more on my radar and that would be Geto x Gojo. I've always been intrigued by their dynamic, but season 2 really showed so much depth in their relationship, their friendship, and how things went wrong. Just so well done and also extremely heartbreaking

11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

Maybe.....Honestly, I can't think of one. Like none are coming to my head. Closest one I can think of would be Alison x Emily or Spencer x Toby. The former because the toxicity of the ship, the way Ali manipulated and gaslight Emily's emotions was fucked up. Just as Toby letting Spencer think he was dead, let her think she found his corpse, and watch her break down...only to give a half-ass apology.

12. What was your favorite crack ship?

Honstly, Kyo x Arisa from Fruit Baskets- and that is solely because watching the way Arisa constantly rifled Kyo up was too damn hilarious.

13. Who is the couple you read more fanfics off?

Hands down, that would have to be drarry

14. What most of your ships usually have in common?

Probably two sides of the same coin. Different in many ways but similar in others. With drarry, both being just a boy in time of war. For zutara, the sun and the moon. Grump x Sunshine, which is a similar dynamic for many of my ships.

15. What you absolutely hate in a ship?

Hands down, the quickest way for me to hate a ship is the following: A always loving B, B being OBLIVIOUS to A's affections even though the whole country is aware of it, and then when A finally moves on THAT'S WHEN B suddenly realizes OH MY GOSH I LOVE THEM. 🤢🤮🤬😡 I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Also, if the dynamic of the ship is unequal such as bully and bullied, in which the bully spends 90% of them torturing the love interest and then final 10% actually showing some care...NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.

January OTP Prompts

Whoa, this might have been the hardest one for me to write so far. I'm not sure what the problem was but I lacked all inspiration and motivation. BUT I was able to push myself to power through... and we have... something.

8. Diamond ring

Matty felt like his lungs were trying to climb out of his throat, drowning him on dry land as his heart beat so hard in his chest he was sure that each thudding squeeze was visible beneath his thin skin, his rib cage rattling. He blinked at George, his eyes wide and terrified as his mind whirled, trying desperately to make sense of the scene before him.

They were on a break in the tour, and Matty had announced the night before he planned on spending the next day rotting away in bed. He would be getting up to use the restroom and that was it, content to spend the day reading and writing and most importantly sleeping. His back hurt and his knee hurt and he didn’t intend to make any kind of movements he didn’t need to. He was to become one with his mattress.

George had laughed and kissed his forehead when he climbed out of bed that morning, and promised that he would return with breakfast. Matty hadn’t expected George to bring him tea in one of the good cups, hadn’t expected his toast to be on an actual plate instead of wrapped in a paper towel, balanced on a tray he hadn’t even realized they owned, a flower from their garden in a bud vase they had been sent by Amazon on accident.

But that wasn’t what had caught Matty’s eye. In the middle of the tray sat a robin’s egg blue ring box, an infinity band of diamonds nestled amongst the velvet. Matty felt like he was going to throw up as he forced himself to meet George’s eyes, his hand reaching out on his own accord to pick up the box, holding it up to his face, rubbing his fingers along the Tiffany & Co. embossed on the lid, afraid to touch the ring, the diamond ring in case it wasn’t what he was thinking, in case this was some kind of sick joke. 

“George,” he said, his voice cracking, overcome with emotion as George stood over him grinning, before dropping down to one knee. Matty’s stomach lurched, this was really happening. 

“So,” said George, his own voice trembling, “I know that you know that we’re in this together, forever and that we don’t need a shiny rock or a piece of paper, to tell us that. But Matty, you’re my partner, my other half, my soulmate, and even if we don’t need it, I want that piece of paper that says we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.” 

George swallowed hard and Matty realized he was crying, tears streaming down his cheeks. 

“And, you’ve always been a bit of a diva, so I figured, if I was getting a piece of paper, that said you were stuck with me forever, it only seemed fair that you got the shiny rock.” George took a deep breath, as if he thought there was some chance that Matty would say no, “So, will you marry me?”

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @starstruckpurpledragon, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

315

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,163,434

3. What fandoms do you write for?

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

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

I have but it's a rare occurrence

9. Do you write smut?

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

10. Do you write crossovers?

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

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

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

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yes, the previously mentioned Marvellous Ladies of DC AU.

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

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

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

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

16. What’s your writing strengths?

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

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

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

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

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

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

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

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

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

19. First fandom you wrote for?

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

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

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

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