For the ask game you reblogged, 14 and 24? (Inspiration is such a fickle creature I'm always genuinely curious how other people relate to it!)

hi bestie ty for asking!!!

14. where do you get your inspiration?

either from my friends or from music! i almost always bounce around ideas with my friends because they know how to help me pivot stories into a direction that will be fun for me to write. sometimes though a good song will get me going with an idea that i end up churning out before i talk to anyone lmao

24. how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

this is kind of a similar answer to the last one tbh, because the number one thing i’ll do is play mood playlists or something oriented to the character i’m trying to write from. but sometimes i’ll do something that’s creative but completely unrelated to writing (giffing, moodboards, cooking/baking, etc) just to get the energy going.

send me a fic writer ask!

Hello yes I am intensely curious about what the WIP titled "Clogged Shower Thoughts" is

It's an unfinished Lethal Company drabble that serves as a character exploration of one of my OCs, Mat the Inventory Appraiser. Mostly it focuses on his life post-life changing TBI and the loss of his twin brother.

It's a pretty miserable experience due to the position he was forced into, especially since Mat isn't... In the best state of mind or the easiest guy to get along with. Also his brother's ghost is very much haunting him, so overall his sanity is not great due to paranormal influences nor can he really move on from this tragedy.

Here's a snippet:

Eventually Mat unclogs the drain. The water swirls back down in a soothing manner that calms him more than actually getting under the hot spray. He's grown numb to the flitting comfort of a hot shower. It's just a flimsy little luxury The Company offers to appease the naive. He's not that gullible anymore. He dutifully ignores the unreachable figure beyond the misted glass. Scrubs himself down and doesn't stare at the hand-prints that form outside of the barrier between himself and the rest of the ship interior. Tries not to falter when a frowny face is carefully doodled above said hand-prints.

if we're talking trademarks (for the ask game) the easy one is ctenophores but. sharks that are octopi. because I've known you too long (that's a lie there is no too long)

(now i'm just thinking about the things i associate with you. i'll save the waxing poetic for like a christmas card or something but hi i love you you're never escaping the "sharks")

baneet! you reblogged a fanfic ask game so naturally i immediately must come to you asking xyz (literally. those are the questions. i was gonna do x and y and then i was like i might as well do z just to finish that up. which feels weird given i know you through jatp which has the world's weirdest relationship with character death but that makes it funnier too.)

X: A character you enjoy making suffer.

reggie.

Y: A character you want to protect.

reggie. (do you see my issue here.)

Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate?

it. depends. bc it depends on the character that's dying, if they're coming back (faked death or ghost or back to life). i don't think i'll ever write a Major character death (maybe minor, death offscreen, faked death) and this is like. doing a loophole with jatp bc i'm not going to write the guys' deaths but i've written them as ghosts which is Aftermath so i'm not writing the Death Itself??

[squirrelno2]

All right folks if you happen to have just followed me with a blank blog, you know who you are if you're real, save yourselves bc I'm blocking you tomorrow

you know what’d be nice?

“hey jules?”

he gets a quiet hum back in response, her eyes still glued to the tv.

luke smiles at that, at the entire picture they paint — sitting here in their living room on the weathered old couch, with julie curled up against his side, wearing one of his older shirts as a nightgown.

he takes his time as he takes in every detail of this moment; from the sounds coming from the tv, to the quiet buzzing of the baby monitor by his head, to the feel of her fingers tapping against his thigh and the scent of his minty shower gel coming off her skin.

it’s a moment he never could’ve dreamt up, not even in his wildest dreams, and yet he can’t fathom ever having taken a different path in life.

not one that feels this good. this calm. this happy.

“thank you,” he finally says, leaning down to press a kiss to her temple.

this gets her attention, eyes finally leaving the tv screen as she turns to face him.

“hm? what for?”

luke tightens the arm he has wrapped around her, bringing her closer to him. he can feel her heart beat steadily against his side, right along his own.

he looks down to see bright curious eyes full of warmth staring up at him, and for a second, he’s hit with a wave of intense gratitude once more.

how did he get so lucky? how does he keep getting so lucky?

he smiles down at her, a conversation from a lifetime ago coming to mind.

“for bringing us into your life. for letting us, me, stay. for..for everything.”

and as she places her ear over his heart, fingers intertwined with his, luke leans his head back for a moment, eyes closed.

and thank you rose, he thinks, for julie.

i think that’d be a nice full-circle moment, 5 seasons later. maybe.

ok what if i came back and asked more of those fic questions. like 8 and 9. if you should desire to answer?

i would LOVE to answer more!!

8. if you had to write a sequel to a fic, you’d write one for…

this is SUCH a tough question because i love sequels (and epilogues) and i have so many i’ve toyed around with. i have always wanted to write one for my polo au because a friend of mine suggested the funniest title but i have tried to draft it many times and it ended up being awkward…someday it’ll happen. the sequel for my murder gays au has always existed in my head and it is very much a comedy (that sounds wild if you’ve read it but i strongly believe that it needs to be crack). my library au actually has an official sequel that i have mapped out and have simply never started writing, but their story does not end there and i have a whole cast of characters i want to introduce!

i answered 9 here!

send me a fic writer ask!

❄️Share a snippet from a WIP of your choosing:

Tulpa's Schoolwork Connundrum (Lo Ruyot (Into the Past))

Scowling down at the flimsy sheets he'd been given by Mrs Bramblehill, the young boy couldn't help but curse his teacher's name as he found himself at an impasse. The assignment itself wasn't the problem. Everyone and their brother could map out their family tree.

The problem was, while most of his aunts, uncle and ba'voduse of the Guard could tell him all about their extended family (batchmates, squads and battalions they belonged to), two very important figures in his life refused to do the same.

Those being Tulpa's ba'vodu Sponge, and his father...

And wasn't that a kick in the teeth? How could he earn himself some praise or even a cool new toy from his dad, if his dad was the obstacle? And if that wasn't bad enough, ba'vodu Sponge was not much help either.

Whenever Tulpa brought up the topic, they'd always push him off to play with one of his cousins instead. And the worst part was that Tulpa would then get swept up in some new cool adventure, because his cousins were pretty awesome. So he couldn't even be all that mad about it!

[noncompliantcyborg]

you are being booped, hi there boop

[squirrelno2]

I’m so excited to finally share this piece! Originally, it was intended for We Were Here, a clone oc zine, which sadly didn’t pan out. Still, I wrote a oneshot I’m very proud of, and in a weird way it works out - back when I started this fic, I’d never posted anything about Arson, Murder, or Jaywalking. Nowadays, they have made their appearance in the time slip fic, so I hope there are a few people out there who know who they are and why I love them (in all their messy glory).

(Check out @cloneoczine to see all the other lovely things people made! It was such a delight to work alongside so many amazing artists and writers in this fandom, especially since I was brand new to it at the time.)

When you're on the run from every authority in the galaxy with only a brother or two for company, and half of you are time travellers, reasonable plans can feel hard to come by. But Domino Squad is full of particularly stubborn souls, and they won't let little things like their own deep-seated trauma and grief interrupt their respective quests to discover and reveal the truth about the chips in their heads. They might even find out that some of that grief isn't needed, eventually.

For the emoji fanfic ask thing you reblogged today (you could do like. However many you want I just threw a couple out there that seem like fun)

😈🛒🥺

(also I need you to know I had to go on a journey of keyboard discovery to send you this ask bc I don't know how to do emojis ever but also you deserve to talk about your fics as much as you like)

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

uhhh the entirety of ch13 of spidey-reg. bc reg did some whack thing at the very end of ch12, and then i was like “haha wouldn’t it be silly if i showed a little bit of his partners and homies Realizing what he did before throwing the narrative back to him?” and then ch13 turned into ten thousand words of nonsense in which reggie didn’t even APPEAR so we only get to the reggie-related aftermath of ch12 in ch14 which took me like three months to post oops.

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

i think uhh flower language/meaning is a big one for me just bc i love it so much. also the stupidest possible confession scenes that i could write. emo hours? i project my own emo hours onto the characters except they get a nice lil hug from the homies and/or partner(s) which i cannot get as easily irl so i must write it as a form of therapy perhaps

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

i am once again thinking about the stupidest possible confession scenes

(also 🥺🥺🥺)

ope i swear i didn’t forget about this ask meme
