pre-/early arc 1 references for my wizards! surely they will never lose their youthful innocence and always go on fun magic adventures and stay best friends forever, right?

HAPPY (POSSIBLY BELATED) BIRTHDAY????

my birthday was in august but ty dgfhgjkjsk

[chinzhilla]

hi bon 🥹 missed you too. ive been a bit absent from my main bc despite wanting to i somehow cannot summon the energy to watch any shows, only kpop, so. but im still on tumblr of course and im happy 2 hear from u. lov u

not to pressure you or anything but your pretty woh sets were part of the reason i watched in the first place hehe. id be very happy 2 see them again

💖💖💖

i feel you, i've been in a weird place with shows recently too. i've been playing catch-up for weeks and many of them have started to feel like chores so i've decided to limit my watchlist more this year :/

anyways i absolutely support your kpop activities and i do fear it is inevitable that i one day join you but for now i've managed to fend off the death spiral as you call it at least to that extent ksdjfhkd (although my ateez tag is growing)

and i actually started a new woh set about a week ago so maybe i'll get back in the swing of that soon 🙈

lov u 2 bestie delighted to see you in my inbox 😘💕

17, 22, 30 !

17. Share your favorite opening line

You come to gasping for breath and with ribs aching.

This one was from Prey (and a sit-and-wait predator), which I wrote on a whim for 2024 Cal Kestis week. It was so fun to write and low effort which I really enjoyed. I also experimented with my writing in this one a bit more, including having the opening scene be written in second person.

22. What writing programs did you use? Did you write by hand?

I use Microsoft word, primarily due to it being what I've grown up with and the fact that I store all my files on a usb, so I like to be able to access it on any device. I use msword for typesetting as well so I splurged to own a copy instead of having the subscription model (which I hate). In 2024 I did also do some writing in my notes app for when I didn't have my pc and outlining on sticky notes at work when I'm bored.

30. What would you like to write next year?

in 2025 i really just want to write more. Some smaller one-shots would be fun and I'd like to explore some other fandoms through character studies as well. I think one of my main writing goals is to write the first star wars comics fic on cfaarchive and finally write the a fic I've had in my head for ages for a fandom that only has two works on ao3.

I am thinking about my fantasy novel again and the main characters relationship with her mentor. She is small and weak and scared and doesn't know anybody. He was lied to by his government, as all young men are, and paid for it with his body. He is bitter and lonely and on a whim chooses her to be his apprentice.

He tries to teach her the lessons he learned: the world is cruel, people are cruel, there is no changing this. She tells him the lessons she learned from her family, and he wonders what kind of bleeding heart monks she grew up with. She refuses to learn his lessons, even after everything she's gone through. Despite everything, he begins to believe her when she says there is hope and goodness in the world.

He sees potential. He trains her. She grows big and strong and a better warrior than any soldier he's seen before.

And he is taught again that the world and the people in it are cruel. Cruel to him. Cruel to her. He abandons her, preferring seclusion, trying once and for all to teach her the ways of the world. And still she refuses to learn it

I WISH THE ISRAELI NATIONAL ANTHEM DIDNT HIT SO HARDDDD should i have ever been taught it as an american jew. no. but is it good. something about it man

the thing about the israeli national anthem is that it's SO good. like it still makes me tear up a bit sometimes if i let myself get swept away in it.

9, 13 !

finally sat down at my computer so:

9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year?

probably Kori and Cassie in Honey, they mean so much to me in tt03

13. What’s your longest work of the year?

Ouroboros Paradox! at only 13k words. technically i started it at the end of last year but it took me way too long so i'm counting it.

[shutupandmakemepizzaroll]

💎and💡for the ask game?

Hey Rowan!!!!! Ty for the ask

Fave element: I answered this shortly before but it's amber! I think Skylor's power is so interesting because of the many questions it raises about how it works and the show does not delve into it enough. Skylor would be such a useful character to have when people lose/have issues w/ their powers but they just put her in the Noodle House 😭

How did I first get into Ninjago? Picture it, my grandmother's living room, 2012, Cartoon Network is nonstop advertising the big Green Ninja episode of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. I have never seen the show before, but I am such a sucker for good advertisement. I watch the show and get HOOKED. I watch all of the new episodes as they air until the end of S3 when I stay at my grandma's house and catch the ones i miss in reruns. I also watch the pilots on netflix. This show then proceeds to activate my first ever hyperfixation turned special interest, gets me into fandom and writing fanfic, and leads to me making a ton of new friends :) (and infecting my partner, sister, and other friends with the virus. The funniest "I'm making someone watch Ninjago" story I have is the time I put it on for my baby sister while I was getting her down for a nap so I have a pic of her watching Wu do his "long before time had a name" speech with rapt attention)
