@song-tam thank you so much for hosting this was a lot of fun

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh, why is it that the entire day I've been thinking about my book with almost nothing else in mind but the minute I get home and actually have time to write my brain goes blank!” I push back in my chair exasperatedly throwing my head back so it's facing the ceiling. “I don't know inspiration strikes at random times I guess.” My little sister Amy says while writing in one of her music journals. My older sister Jolie is laying on my bed doing homework with earbuds in she probably doesn't even know we're talking, these two are some of the only people in my life that know that I write.

I've been writing a book for almost a year now and it's still nowhere near the end, it has all the things I love about fantasy, elves, goblins, ogres I've been thinking about adding gnomes too but haven't figured out how to incorporate them yet. It's taken an annoyingly long time mostly because of classes and the fact that I've been suffering from some major writer's block for the last couple of months.

Jolie rolls over taking her earbuds off and asks what we're talking about, “Sophie is struggling to actually participate in her favorite hobby.” Amy says not looking up, while I have been having trouble with writing my sister has been in a rush of inspiration. Amy has loved writing music since she got her first special notebook when she was seven and it had purple glitter on it. Over the last eight years, she has gotten much better and I couldn't be more proud. She even has created songs for my characters, one of the best birthday presents I've gotten, along with the drawings of them from Jolie.

Sitting here is doing absolutely nothing so I suggest we all go to the ice cream place down the street “I could use a break from my English paper.” Jolie replies closing her book. “I'm really getting into the groove here I don't want to mess it up, but I’ll come next time.” Amy says taking her eyes off her pencil for the first time in hours. “Ok,” I tell her “do you want us to bring you anything?” “Vanilla with Carmel and mini marshmallows please” Amy gives me her iconic aren't I the best little sister even though she's not doing anything. ”You got it.” I say as Jolie grabs her car keys and purse from across the hall.

The ice cream place has only been here for about a year but it’s become a regular spot for us, it's great for study breaks or a meet-up place, plus has some of the best ice cream I've ever tasted.

We order and sit down at a table by the window, my biggest problem right now is that my story doesn't really have a plot or a main goal, I have a feeling for what I want it to be. As stupid as that sounds but it’s the only way I can explain it. And I know I shouldn't be rushing the creative process but I want to write so badly I just can't. I find it extremely infuriating. “Hey sis what's up, your face is super scrunched up and you look like you want to remove all of your eyelashes.” Jolie says reaching over to remove my hand from my eyes. “Talk to me” she straitens her back like she's about to go into an interview.

“I don't know I guess it's nothing, I'm just getting tired of being blocked all the time,” I tell her looking out the window. “Hey don't say it's nothing this is something important to you and it's bothering you. You have been working on this book for a really long time, I should know I hear you grumbling to yourself at all hours of the day about it” She says the last part with a look of possible annoyance. “I just feel like I don't know my brain is working against me.” I explain “like it's betraying you?” Jolie adds “Exactly! That's the best way to explain it-” I trail off thinking and then jump up excitedly “Thank you, thank you that's actually perfect, major help” I start hurrying to the door and I hear Jolie say something to the waiter about getting to go containers.

We drove to the ice cream place but our house is close enough that with running I get home within ten minutes and run to my room barely saying anything to my parents. “Wow that didn't take long at all, do you have my food?” Amy looks up a bit surprised because of my quick reappearance. “I love you but I need you to be quiet for a little while if you're in my room, also I think Jolie will be back soon with your ice cream.” I'm putting in my password and opening my writing software “I guess inspiration struck” Amy says while grabbing her stuff and closing my door while she leaves with a smile on her face.

When Jolie talked about betrayal I thought about how interesting it would be if my main character ends up betraying everyone to save the world ending up sacrificing herself and no one ever knows.

I end up passing out around six am with a mostly finished book and end up writing the ending after I get some actual sleep and start editing it.

My sisters come in around ten am both sitting on the bed not even saying anything just falling into a familiar routine, Jolie starts to sketch and Amy is humming a new song, and every once and a while she writes down a new line in her notebook.

“Thanks, you guys.” I say to them. “For what?” they both ask at the same time “For you two helping with my book, which I've almost finished now but also for just being great sisters.” Jolie and Amy look at each other before tackling me in a hug “Your also an amazing sister” Amy says “Now can we please read your book?” Jolie asks when I nod they both push my rolly chair out of the way so they can see my computer better, I laugh to myself while I wait for them to tell me their thoughts.

(spoilers for spy xfamily if u didnt actually want answers! but i couldnt resist lol)

so anya's an orphan who can read minds but her (adoptive parents) don't know this; her dad is a spy who basically adopted her as part of his cover to take down a Big Bad guy, the mom is just some lady in town who HAPPENED to be an assassin; they both think the other is just a normal civilian and yes they are faking it. so part of the dad(loid)'s spy plan is to enroll anya in this prestigious school that Big Bad guys son also goes to in attempt to get closer, but the school only accepts kids with both parents i think, so that's why he's fake married. yor(the mom) is fake married to avoid suspicion since she's an assassin and also her brother has been nagging her or something along those lines! and yes anya knows her parents are spies since shes a mindreader & its very funny idk why she has horns tho

No worries about spoilers, I don't mind at all! This is the funniest possible set up I could've imagined as a premise. Here I was thinking Anya was being fooled into thinking both her adoptive parents were normal meanwhile she's watching both of them frantically try to conceal ulterior motives and is privy to the entire debacle!

Someone in the replies of that post said she just wants to Be Entertained, and I think that's incredibly valid of her. Someone else said she was an escaped lab experiment and I love that so much. Everyone has that one escaped lab experiment OC, it's such a watershed in character creation. So happy for Anya and her status

I can only imagine how things go down in their household with everyone dancing around secrets. How was your day at work? Oh it was so normal and normal civilian like, how was your day at work? Also super super mundane and normal. That's if they actually talk to each other, I suppose. Nothing's stopping them from just ignoring each other--although if they're trying to convince Anya they're normal, then maybe they do have a reason to play up the facade. Idk how much Anya's been officially told and what they think the extent of her knowledge is.

What a delightful answer to all my confusion about what on earth was going on with this tiny pink-haired child that for some reason has horn-like things! I was gonna say maybe they're like her antenna for reading the thoughts, but if no one knows she can read thoughts then they'd probably have pointed out/questioned the horn things. But if they haven't then it's just accepted and wouldn't be related to her quirks.

Thank you for this, Nonsie! Love learning lore about stories and fandoms I have absolutely no part in :)

[winterfireice]

I support you
