[appropriatelystupid]

omfg the food truck au is giving me LIFE!! i’m so intrigued by how you’re going to have them meet (you may have mentioned it already at some point but my brain doesnt retain a thing lmfao)??

and also if it’s kara’s food truck that miraculously has lena having proper meals, jess would be SO pleased😂

food truck is *cue that oprah gif* EVERYBODY GETS A FOOD TRUCK!!!

i’ve waffled on the details a bit but currently it’s sits at:

lena, upon turning 18 and getting her sizable trust fund, completely removes herself from the luthor world and starts a soup restaurant in metropolis

she names is soupergirl after their local hero (kara isn’t “out” yet in nc)

eventually it’s still successful but lex does his lex thing so lena opts to move to nc and open another restaurant there, and with jess in store she is eventually convinced to join the food truck scene

cue national city priding themselves on full springs and summers of food truck events and fairs and stuff that lead to our gang all meeting and crossing paths

edit: oh and lena is horrified to discover how much she enjoys kara’s truck steamy wieners (an actual real existing truck)

20 Questions

Thanks @silv3reyedstranger for the tag! My meeting can wait, this is more fun lol

How many works do you have on AO3?

44 (my wife's saying it's bad luck, so I guess I better make it 45 soon)

2. What's you total AO3 count?

601,330 which is weirdly way more than I expected but also way less? How dare AO3 not count all the words I've never posted, this is homophobia

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I got my start in the Devil Wears Prada and Harry Potter fandoms, and then the supercorp gifs pulled a bag over my head, tossed me in a van, and made me hyperfixate on a really bad but really gay show, so. I've also written for Xena Warrior Princess and ATLA/ATLOK, but I've never posted for those. There is an errant OUAT SwanQueen one-shot out there, courtesy of some insane people I love.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

In order, they’re Perhaps, For the Better, Perfect, The Date and, surprisingly, The Wrong Way. I didn't expect that last one at all, to be honest.

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

I do appreciate every single one (they’re a writer's main source of nourishment) but I am terrible at responding to each and every one. There will be times where I'll go on comment-replying marathon and then I forget about it for like, a year. My bad! I do love all the comments and I re-read them all the time when I'm feeling kind of shit. They bring so much joy to my heart and occasional (happy) tears to my eyes.

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

Probably Unshackled, but I'm not sure if that counts because the happy ending came in part two. But for the people who didn't know there was a part two… that was probably the angstiest I've managed! I love angst, but I have to have the happy ending, whether I'm reading or writing it.

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

Oof, I don't know. I try to have happy endings to most things. I think the one that jumps to mind is i don't know how to dance so slow (to keep up with you). I don't think it's necessarily the happiest ending, it's just this whole fic plays in my head so clearly, almost like it's a movie, and it just gives me the good feels. It's short and sweet, and it makes me happy.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I think if I wrote more I'd get some lol. I used to get some trolls here and there, especially flames back on FanFiction.net. A couple on Perhaps, but the Cissamione peeps were awesome helping me deal with them. Nowadays everything's pretty chill.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

*points at The Adventures of Soft Butch Hermione*

Not to mention all the stuff I don't post. Smut has to be just right to make the cut. Nothing too crazy, but ya know I have to sprinkle some praise kink in there.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Nope, and I don't think I ever will. The most I've done is borrow other characters from within the same universe (see Luthor Motor Racing AU), usually as a joke/easter egg. I'm usually not a fan or crossovers (writing or reading), but there are a handful of exceptions here and there.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

HAHA yeah. A couple of times. Usually found on Wattpad, or translated into Portuguese and posted to some Brazilian site without my permission. Side note, why is it always Brazilians. I'M ONE OF YOU, PLS

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah! To Russian, French and Mandarin (with permission) and Portuguese (without), at least as far as I know. I'm totally cool with translations, just like. Ask me first, give me the credit for the original work, and send me a link! I love to see translations of my stuff, especially if it's in a language I can speak.

13. have you ever cowritten a fic before?

@shadowdianne and I had some incredible back-and-forth a few years back, but it never really went anywhere (although I maintain our ideas were FIRE). It was a frankly amazing take on Narcissa as a character, with some sprinkle of a Narlily friendship and Cissamione endgame. We both had other stuff going on, so it never really developed further, but I still have the docs with all of our ideas and frankly hilarious commentary.

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

Don't make me pick just one, I can't.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

At this point, all of them I think? Brain's just not braining that way.

16. What are your writing strengths?

It used to be world-building and environment descriptions, but to be honest I haven't flexed those writing muscles in ages. I think I can tell a lot with not much real-estate. I also think my readers/fellow writers would be better at answering this one lol

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

The writing part.

Jokes aside, it's actually stringing a plot together. I write by vibes.

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

I technically speak four languages, but I always worry whether whatever foreign language dialogue I insert sounds genuine enough to sound like a native speaker, so I always ask for a second (and a third and fourth) opinion anyway.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter, on a little known (to Americans) social media platform known as Orkut, and then on FFNet. Then I deleted all traces of that and had a fresh start with Devil Wears Prada.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

It's like asking me about my favourite child. Right now it's while all of the lines are blurring, which is a WIP but I just have. SO MUCH. To add to it. AND  I DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR BRAIN CAPACITY but I. Love that plot in my brain. Maybe one day.

I won't tag anyone this time around, but writer peeps, feel free to take it and run with it!

WIP title game

Thank you to @silv3reyedstranger for tagging me. I actually had to look up my to-write list to answer this one as I'm currently not actively writing fic. They're all Cissamione unless mentioned differently

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

A cover is not the book

The Calamity

Once Upon A Curse

A magic broomstick ride

Save me from insanity (Andromione)

Bookstore friendship

The Black Oyster (Bellamione)

oooft, that's a lot of tags. @belladonnainbloom, @blood-inthefields, @hustlingrube, @thegirl20, @twtd11 and everybody who wants to play as I clearly can't tag enough people XD

[theredcapeofk]

@silv3reyedstranger good memories from the @argo-city-exchange 2 years ago

[guessimreallyhere]

So, I'm brushing off a year and a half of dust and cobwebs later today to post my art for the 2023 @supercorpbb.

But! I want my first post back to be a shoutout to the two amazing writers I had the privilege of working with behind the scenes.

It was soooo easy to cheerlead for @silv3reyedstranger and their excellent piece "Oh How Love Stings."

And it was a pleasure to be one of the beta readers for @theredcapeofk and their thrilling "Don't Leave Me!"

Separate reblogs to follow. Go check out their hard work and give them all the love!!

[lauriedanvers]

Here’s an amazing fic for which i’ve had a lot of fun making this art! Thanks to @silv3reyedstranger and the @supercorpbb mods!

oh how love stings

“So…what do you think?” Kara plants her chin in her hands and chews at her lip.

“It’s beautiful,” Lena murmurs, running her fingers over the writing. “What does it mean?”

How can Kara put it into words? How does one translate the legacy of a broken family into understandable terms? It’s almost impossible for Kara to find the words to encapsulate the pride and grief she has for her people. There aren’t human words that can convey the heartbreak she still hasn’t healed from. Heartbreak that may never heal.

Kara swallows roughly. “In simple terms, El Mayarah.” Her hands itch to follow the same path Lena’s did, but she might burst into tears if she does. “There aren’t any human words that are…adequate enough to do them justice, but it means something along the lines of: So haunt me so that I may always remember who I am. Make a home of my chest so I may carry all of you with me forever. We will always be stronger together.”

Summary:

Is Kara Zor-El a wimp when it comes to needles? Yes. Does she really want to get tattoos? Also yes.

The only problem is, the only person who could possibly do one for her is Lena. Her best friend. Who she’s unequivocally in love with. She really knows how to pick them, doesn’t she?

[Read on AO3]

I’ve had the absolute joy (and agony) writing this fic, and though it took literal months, it’s finally out in the world. Thank you to @guessimreallyhere for cheering me on! Big thank yous to @unnaturalceilings and @lauriedanvers for creating the phenomenal art pieces (linked on AO3) that accompany this work<3 Finally, infinite thanks to the @supercorpbb mods for organizing this event!

[appropriatelystupid]

this is. SO supercorp😭 honestly so iconic

https://twitter.com/interneth0f/status/1745800314135998916?s=46&t=B0hT5DpVOqQo9fPG5m9oqQ

OH MY GOD YES

i’m just picturing kara there with alex with some wannabe frat bro in front of them so kara is just

and just behind her is lena (there with jack a la stay the night vibes) like

and then later the kiss cam starts up and tries to get lena and jack but she just pulls kara around by her jacket instead

[littlemousejelly]

hi lmj! hope you’re well! i’ve attached a photo of a tshirt design i saw at Spencer’s the other day that immediately made me think of your spitroast fic (i feel like lena would eat this up), so i thought it was only right that i share it with you! i realize the photo quality is potato and highly suspicious, but i swear the tshirt was tshirting!! stay hydrated and have a fabulous day :)

AT SPENCER'S??? absolutely wild 🤣 thank you for thinking of spitroast fic! you're so right, lena would totally get this oversized and wear it all around the house in nothing else but underwear to see how long her girlfriends can last before bending her over the nearest surface 😌 hope you also stay hydrated and have a wonderful day!

[naralanis]

would you mind terribly answering the questions associated with 🥺 and 🤩 if you haven’t already? i’m a huge fan of your work—thank you for doing what you do!!

*blows dust off the inbox* Sorry for taking so damn long!

I have answered the first, but I'm happy to do it again!

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

My versions of the "Oh" moment. That moment when they realize all they've ever wanted is right in front of them and they make the decision to go for it. I love writing it, I love reading it.

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

Depends on the fandom, really. On one hand, I love writing characters like Lena Luthor because she has so much depth. On the other, I like characters like Narcissa Malfoy because canon has given us fuck all so I'm pretty free to write her however I want (and I want her to be a big ol' gay).

[searidings]

ms dings i just think you’d like to know that olympic gold medalist laurie hernandez said that for all the things my hands have held is one of her all time fav sc fics

[i-am-robie]

hi robie! quick question, were you the one who had beef with kara's s5 and s6 lipstick? or am i mixing it up with someone else? i remember seeing someone's tag and was inspired so i wrote a little fic, but now i can't remember who it is and i wanted to give credit:/ thank you! hope you're having a lovely day:)

A fic? Awesome!!

Honestly I can’t think of a person on my dash who DIDN’T have beef with that lipstick (cw don’t interact)
