directors for Saturday night, blackevans beloved <3

Ah, a woman after my own heart! I could probably talk TOO MUCH about Saturday Night’s Alright, so I’m gonna get into it a bit beneath the cut.

Saturday Night’s Alright was really a masterclass in writing for me in the way that it evolved SO MUCH as I was writing. Originally, it was just going to be Sirius’ POV. I always knew he would meet Lily and they would form this kind of understanding between them, because I’m not only in love with the Blackevans BroTP, but I LOVE the parallel between their sibling dynamics. However, even then, it was going to be all-Sirius POV until he passed out from the pain, then we’d get a little bit of Lily POV and then poof, end of fic.

But the problem is, I LOVE writing Lily, and I wanted it to engage in a little “show, don’t tell” of why she was even in London in the first place, which led to a bigger Lily section. Additionally, I knew Sirius would be in a really dark headspace and didn’t know if I wanted to be in there the WHOLE time I was writing. I’m really glad I switched the POV to come in earlier, because Sirius is so preoccupied with his home life that while yes he’s sorry about Lily and her pain, he’s not really in the headspace to be thinking complexly about it. I thought being able to work through Lily’s complex thoughts of “this guy sucks and has recently caused me pain” and also “this guy is seriously not in a good place and needs help” was a really interesting conundrum and was, again, really worried about walking that line. Not having her forgive completely, but being able to set aside grudges for someone in need. (Which we then see James do the EXACT SAME THING 😭)

And of course when I was nearly towards the end, I decided James needed a POV? I’m not exactly sure why, but god it was a breath of fresh air because yeah, he was going through it too, but his life is just not as MUCH as the other two. He brought some levity to the fic (and my mental state) that I think it needed. (Which again is insane because again, JAMES IS ALSO VERY ANGSTY).

It was not supposed to be as long as it was, but the back and forth between Lily and Sirius just kept flowing and I couldn’t get them on track. They were supposed to have like, one conversation, and they had like, four.

Again, similar to “no, i could never give you peace” it’s dealing with really heavy, really delicate subject matter than I really wanted to make sure was being treated respectfully. It’s definitely one of the ficus I’m proudest of. I think it’s a great character study on these three, and I’m so happy it evolved the way it did.

<3 Thank you, Doe!

My favorite in the ATLA series 👀👀👀

Okay so my friend and i both agreed that objectively the Renjun one was the best. Like the plot, the CHARACTER DEPTH, and the execution was perfect *chefs kiss*

BUT MY FAVORITE WAS THE HAECHAN ONE AHAHAH His character and the storyline of it was so appealing to me cuz he was like playful and fun but with a ✨vulnerable✨ side, oh and a gang of air bending thieves is always fun. THE SHARING THE BED TROPE IS SUCH AN OVERPLAYED TROPE BUT I LOVE IT ALL THE SAME SO 😩💓

Plus i laughed my ass off when i first thought haechan would be portrayed as a monk that’s bald with arrow tattoos 🤣 (not to mention the addition of the mental image of bald mark, jisung, and chenle LMAOOO)

Oh and sidenote: I remember being very curious about how all the boys’ reactions and interactions wouldve been like if she actually went to each nation and collected them. And then formed her own Team Avatar. That would’ve been hella awesome man ASHDKSMA like a harem but with bending 💯 but not over the top, it would be lowkey only like Ouran Highschool Host Club (a harem anime thats not in your face harem) or smth. I highkey believe that in that scenario Renjun would be the canon love interest just because. 😌

Oki I’m done rambling :DD my fave is the haechan one :D here is a semi bald arrowheaded haechan to prove my point

omg that's so nice thank you so much 🥺💖 i'm not supposed to have favorites but the renjun fic is super special to me <333 it was my first real attempt at trying to write characters with emotional depth (albeit very surface-level) and that's why i felt the need to write a part 2 for him !! it just felt like his story hadn't been fully completed yet 😌

YESSS HAECHAN WAS BASED OFF JET AND HIS CREW BC HAECHAN SUITED THE ROGUISH BUT LOVEABLE THIEF TROPE SO WELLLL 🤩 and LMFAO the there’s only one bed trope always reminds me of this meme 😭

JDSFKLSK STOPPPPPP OMFG THIS IS WHY I HAD TO PUT THAT DISCLAIMER ON THE MASTERLIST BC I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WRITE THE FIC SERIOUSLY IF HAECHAN WAS BALD 💀

HELPDFJSKSKL WHEN I TELL YOU THE BALD HAECHAN PIC HAD ME IN TEARS I AM NOT KIDDING I WAS CRYING LAUGHING PLSSSSSSS 😭😭😭 i had to show cat and moon too bc i was absolutely LOSING MY SHIT over it LMFAO idk why but the kirby pointing at him makes it 10x funnier??? also why does it look like the arrow was drew on with a dry erase marker LOL ugh there’s just so many comedic layers to this pic and i have added it into my favorites album bc i laugh every time i see it tysm for sharing it with me oml 🤧

i’ve thought about it too!! i hate that i missed such a huge opportunity with my atla series 😔 it could’ve made it all interconnected like i did with my pjo series but i just didn’t think about it at the time. i kind attempted it by mentioning doyoung in the fics, but that was about it. when i think back, i feel like i could’ve done a whole spinoff with haechan’s crew. AND HOLY SHIT THAT’S SUCH AN AMAZING IDEA??? ALL OF THE 00 LINE BOYS GATHERING AND FORMING TEAM AVATAR AND THE REVERSE HAREM ELEMENT AS WELL?!?! UGH YOU ARE SUCH A GENIUS, MY LOVE i’m not saying renjun would be the canon love interest bc he was my favorite to write butttttt

ugh this is making me want to revisit everything but my atla series is so old atp so i also kind of want to let it rest in peace 🥴 maybe i’ll do another poll LMAO

thank you so so so much again for this lovely and HILARIOUS ask omg you’ve completely made my life and i will have this haechan pic with me until i die
