WHATS A HANNIGRAM CODED TAYLOR SWIFT SONG

The perfect ask doesn't exi-

I have prepared for this my whole life. Here is a list of hannigram coded taylor swift songs.

Look what you made me do

it's sexy and petty and it's the perfect Will Graham in salmon shirt revenge song but it's also very Hannibal in Mizumono coded.

2. I did something bad

perfect for both of them and especially for Will discovering that killing people makes him feel stuff that he shouldn't

3. Back to december (I am feral about this one)

perfect for them. chef's kiss. You can listen to it and think about Mizumono or about Digestivo, depends what kind of pain you want.

It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright

this is so Will Graham thinking about Mizumono and also Hannibal surrendering to the FBI cause he doesn't need freedom if he cannot have Will.

But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This lyrics too because it's the tea cup motif, turning back the time, which is exactly what Hannibal wanted to do in digestivo. And also related to Will's regrets about Mizumono.

4. Mastermind

Perfect for them both, from beginning to end. Nothing to add than some very fitting lyrics.

I knew I wanted your body I laid the groundwork, and then Just like clockwork The dominoes cascaded in a line What if I told you I'm a mastermind? And now you're mine It was all my design

5. Better than revenge (more as crack if you want to think of it from Hannibal's pov towards Molly lol)

6. Right where you left me

season 3b coded, breaks you to pieces if you imagine them and the glass wall in between.

7. Wonderland

I reached for you, but you were gone I knew I had to go back home You searched the world for somethin' else To make you feel like what we had And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad

them in season 3a, Hannibal trying to replace Will with Anthony but it was in vain.

8. Come back, be here

Will grieving after Hannibal left

9. Hoax

there is so much to say about this one, I find it very fitting

My only one My smoking gun My eclipsed sun This has broken me down My twisted knife My sleepless night My win-less fight This has frozen my ground

(...)

My best laid plan Your sleight of hand My barren land I am ash from your fire

(...)

You knew it still hurts underneath my scars From when they pulled me apart You knew the password, so I let you in the door You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score? You knew it still hurts underneath my scars From when they pulled me apart But what you did was just as dark

you can think about all the pain they have inflicted into each other and each time they have betrayed each other

10. I almost do

11. Sad Beautiful Tragic

so so so hannigram coded

We both wake In lonely beds In different cities And time Is taking its sweet time erasing you And you've got your demons And darlin' they all look like me

12. Ivy (which is considered to be a very queer song)

I wish to know The fatal flaw that makes you long to be Magnificently cursed

13. Willow (a lil more cheesy)

14. The lakes

hannigram coded because they don't fit in the normal world. And the lyrics sound like something Hannibal would say

15. Vigilante shit

as petty and sexy as Look what you made me do

16. Bad blood

doesn't need any explanation

17. No body, no crime

for the whole arc of Will trying to convince everyone Hannibal framed him

18. Getaway Car

Mizumono coded

19. The Great War

twotl coded

All that bloodshed, crimson clover Uh-huh, sweet dream was over My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War

(...)

It turned into something bigger Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed Your finger on my hair pin triggers Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue, so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you I really thought I lost you

and this part very Mizumono coded

20. Peace

they are both problematic for each other

21. The Alcott

describes the Uffizi Gallery scene. Like, in perfect detail.

22. My tears ricochet

23. Illicit Affairs

Look at this idiotic fool that you made me You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

24. Last kiss

for when Hannibal is locked up

25. Haunted

26. Cowboy like me

especially because Will is from the south lol

I've got some tricks up my sleeve Takes one to know one

Hope this helps!

electra heart (the album) by marina (and the diamonds). what can i say? it slaps.

黑白#K (the album) by liu haikuan. but tbh i haven't really been following him for a while. i think he's had a few singles since then? idk.

les filles désir by vendredi sur mer. wait i should actually listen to her more often. she has some absolute bangers.

opera (and some other songs) by super junior. i'm revisiting my k-pop phase, okay???

фейерверк by электрофрез. because of that one TGCF animatic.

turbulence (the album) by monoral. idk, a lot of their songs actually fit qijiu rather well? which is my main criterion when choosing music to listen to anyway.

eyes closed by the narrative. you guys, this song has been through at least three different ships from three different fandoms at this point.

the CQL soundtrack. what can i say? [1] for all that CQL is a bit messy and has funny CGI, at least it has a splendind soundtrack.

the LOTR soundtrack. i mean. do i even have to say anything? that's a classic.

20 questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tag @holy3cake

1. how many works do you have on AO3? 22 so far, with more planned.

2. what's your total AO3 word count? 1,262,007 and that's excluding chapters that are still in Drafts pages.

3. what fandoms do you write for? This doesn't cover all of the fandoms of my AO3 because I was in all the fandoms it felt like when I was younger but these days, my main ones currently are:

The Last Kingdom

Harry Potter

Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them

Good Omens

Disney (BATB & Nightmare Before Christmas mostly)

Black Lagoon

Final Fantasy IX

Castlevania

4. top five fics by kudos:

Changeling's Curse (BATB)

Snowfall Confessions (Fantastic Beasts)

Hollow Hearts (NBC)

Bowtruckle Bliss (FB)

Threads of Fate (NBC)

5. do you respond to comments? Yes! If I don't respond on AO3 or on FF. net since that website is getting so old and going the way of the dinosaur, I respond to people on Tumblr, as I tend to seek out people in similar fandoms and make the most amazing friends :)

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? None so far? Most of my stories tend to have a happy ending, but I am working on one that has somewhat of a bittersweet ending.

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? A Greater Power (HP) or Temptress of Dunholm (The Last Kingdom)

8. do you get hate on fics? Not so far and I hope it stays that way!

9. do you write smut? Nope but I do read it though

10. craziest crossover? I don't tend to write crossovers

11. have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, 4 times, and it was awful each time!

12. have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! Someone asked to translate one of my HP fanfics into Chinese but I never saw the final link or product so I don't know if that is ongoing or not

13. have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope but I do like to bounce ideas off of fellow fic writer friends from time to time

14. all time favorite ship? Oooooh difficult one. Beocca/Thyra from TLK are sweet beans and the definition of deserved better, but I would say my close second is Jack/Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. Both couples are just so much fun to write & so different.

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Uhhhh there's a few lmao. I have a 3rd and final Barty Crouch Jr. fic in the works that I am stalling writing and finishing because I don't quite know how it will end, given the man's circumstances in the fic lol.

16. what are your writing strengths? I would like to say descriptions (imagery wise) and maybe writing character voices/dialogues.

17. what are your writing weaknesses? Fight scenes!!!!

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language? I don't mind reading it but I won't write in another language despite my native language being German.

19. first fandom you wrote in? Disney followed by HP. Both fandoms helped me get through a nearly crippling surgery and I will be forever grateful to both fandoms for helping me find my passion.

20. favorite fic you've written? I have mixed feelings about it, but I really love Temptress of Dunholm for TLK, followed closely by Hollow Hearts for NBC or A Greater Power for the HP fandom.

My AO3, in case you're interested in any of this madness:

20 Questions Game

tagged by @sssammich and I'm gonna do this instead of editing so yall know where to point the blame for the delay

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

9

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

372,061

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Supercorp currently

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

You, Me and The In Betweens

Tempo

Heaven is a Place on Earth

Can I Have Your Attention Please

Hey There... Lena

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

I do respond to majority of them. I miss a few here and there and I don't respond to the rude ones. I also take ages to actually reply, which is because I'm super flattered and don't know how to properly convey that in words so I procrastinate. A lot.

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

If we're solely talking endings, Sweet Dreams probably

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

Most of them end on a positive note. But in my personal opinion, Heaven is a Place on Earth

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Every now and then, but usually it comes from Amy - yall know Amy - and even when it doesn't, its typically in relation to my plot choices and not a critique of my skill

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

Bro. Yes lmao. Not super kinky. Not entirely vanilla either. Idk that I could really give you a 'kind.' It's solely based on how thirsty I'm feeling on any particular day and then when I have to actually edit it, I want to punch my past self in the face.

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

Never written one, probably would though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes and it was so cool to see. Still endlessly grateful.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

*sigh* I call myself cowriting a fic with @fyonahmacnally and @chaotic-super. I also call myself cowriting a different fic with @sssammich. And then of course that series that we absolutely aren't writing. But thus far, most of the 'writing' has taken place inside our own imaginations. Maybe we'll make progress. Someday.

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

Do you really have to ask me that?

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

I think I'll finish all of them honestly. May take 3-5 years. But I think I'll finish.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Injecting the most misery possible into a single fic. Smut. I think I have a nice prose too.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing lmao.

I think most things are a weakness for me. I'm told my descriptive writing is great, but I always think it needs so much improvement because of my inability to visualize anything ever. But if yall can see it, then that's fantastic. Otherwise, long scenes with dialogue. I struggle so bad with extended dialogue.

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

Would stress me tf out lol. I think it's great. I've almost done it. But I don't trust google translate near enough and I don't personally know anyone who speaks fluent French. So we all just gonna have to use our imaginations when Lena walks through that parking garage.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically, Law and Order SVU, though it was never finished or posted anywhere. I needed Katie McGrath to come grab my inspiration by the throat, evidently.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Lie to Me. Without question. I put the most into it and I'm incredibly proud of it, even if I wanted to set it on fire most days. It's simultaneously the easiest and most difficult thing I've ever written and I hope I always love it this much.

Tagging @mssirey, @sneezewizard, @someoneyouloved93 and anyone else who wants to give it a go, zero pressure of course!

Eren! 12 - 21 & 23

character ask game

i think you meant 12 through 21? either way the more the merrier LOL (also feel free to send me other characters besides em LOL from any show thats in my lil pinned post tbh!!!)

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

in canon — i think eren harbors a lot of self loathing and when him and mikasa go to the cabin, he finds it really hard to believe that she truly forgives him for all of his transgressions, so it's hard for him to accept that a lot of it is real (kind of makes me think of the real/not real thing in thg but in a different way - everlark is so engraved into me lol) so he's just a big weepy sap lol

in a modern au — he's probably a music lover, he makes playlists a lot and makes them for everything. i bet he makes mikasa playlists all the time too

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

i feel like eren would love this emoji 🧍🏽

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

eren would only have a sense of style bc of mikasa and carla LOL he probably wears solid color tshirts and/or the occasional nice graphic tee and jeans/basketball shorts and some typical sneakers that are moderately trendy lol. he doesn't look frympy but he's not a fashionista by any means

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

eremikaaaa clearly

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

i feel like this is obvious lol

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

im clearly an eremika truther but i can see why ppl like erejean LOL it's giving typical shonen homoerotic vibes (e.g. bakudeku)

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

i love eren and levi's relationship so much bc of the mentor/mentee relationship, and honestly levi was like the closest thing eren had to a paternal figure following grisha's death. like those tiktoks where it's like s1-s3 levi saying "i'm not your dad" then it's s4 eren saying "you're not my dad" UGH I CRY!!!!! but levi being so hurt/disappointed by eren in s4 just gets to me and i think if we could hear anyone else's paths convo with eren i would wanna hear his and levi's. also bc i wanna see if levi beats his ass again lmao

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

i wouldn't say i hate annie, but at one point i used to lowkey be an annie hater LOL (now i actually love annie), so i guess in s1, i really enjoy eren and annie's dynamic (prior to the ft arc), especially bc you can see how much eren clearly admires her. i think it's funny how even tho she clearly beats his ass he still wants to learn from her, i think thats kind of noble of him tbh! also i think bc he admired her sm and considered her a friend it sucks to see him so hurt by the reveal of her betrayal

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

armin and eren are platonic soulmates and there's nothing you could ever say that could change my mind about that tbh

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

favorite — i love writing eren's dynamic with carla, i think it's really special bc of what happened in canon. i imagine eren as such a mama's boy (in an endearing way) so it's so sweet to get to write their bond and imagine how that dynamic would be as eren would've grown up

least favorite — i think in a canon universe, i don't like writing some of the more sad scenes, like in the ema au, when i think about eren harboring all the pain of the memories to himself, it literally makes me so sad LOL like im genuinely such a fucking sap so i just cry and cry bc i hate thinking about it 😭

23. Favorite Picture?

canon & fan art (once again im biased)

[queenhermionelambert-blog]

My answers to the Daniel Durant tag:

1. How were you introduced to Daniel?

I just barely knew about Daniel before he was announced as a contestant on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars in 2022, but now I'm a lifelong fan!

2. Moment that made you fall in love with Daniel?

The moment that made me fall in love with Daniel was when he got a sweet and touching message from his CODA mom Marlee Matlin on Good Morning America to promote the then-upcoming season of DWTS!

3. Character you relate to most/have strongest connection with?

Ooh... that's a tough question. I think I'd say maybe Leo, mainly because he's strong, and he loves his family. Plus, how hot is he?

4. Favorite Daniel and Marlee moment?

I can't pick just one.

5. Favorite Daniel & Britt moment?

Literally, all of them! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰 ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️

6. Daniel moment that made you want to give him a hug?

I always feel really bad for Daniel whenever he gets emotional, tears up, and/or starts crying because he's high up there on my hug list, but one that really stuck out to me and still continues to make me really emotional to this day would probably be when he told Britt a really heartbreaking story about how his birth mother left him when he was just a baby and revealed that she tragically passed away from cancer.

7. Favorite character?

All of them for different reasons.

8. Most heartbreaking scene in his whole career so far?

Check out my X for Day 13 of the 24 Days of Daniel challenge that I did leading up to his birthday.

9. Favorite quote/line?

"Who Wouldn't Want More Moms?"

10. Favorite TV performance?

All of his dances on DWTS with Britt, especially their Jazz!

11. Favorite CODA Daniel moment?

When he tells his on-screen sister that he and their parents will be fine without her and to follow her dreams. Such a true message.

12. Favorite Deaf West Spring Awakening Daniel moment?

The scene before the song Touch Me.

13. Favorite Lori and Mary moment with Daniel?

There are far too many to count. Daniel has 2 of the absolute sweetest moms in the whole world.

14. Favorite Daniel and Alex moment?

That's like choosing between my children. I don't have a favorite because they're all amazing!

15. Favorite Switched at Birth Daniel moment?

Definitely in the series finale when Marlee's character takes Matthew in off the street.

16. Genre/role you'd love to see Daniel take on?

I'd be excited to see him in any role, to be honest, because I'd still be rooting for him even if he was playing a villainous character. It's an unconditional fan love thing, you know.

17. Silliest Daniel moment?

I will never not laugh when Daniel is silly.

18. Cutest Daniel moment?

There are way too many to count or even pick. Daniel is always so cute.

19. What does Daniel mean to you?

Daniel is part of the reason that I chose to major in ASL in college, and I can't imagine my life without him in it.

20. Special (belated) birthday message to Daniel?

Happy birthday to the cutest, funniest, most kindhearted person that we're so lucky and grateful to have on this Earth with us, including but not limited to Britt Stewart. Happy birthday, Daniel Durant! 🤟🏻💙💜🫶🏻💗💕💋😍🥰 Keep killing it and being the amazing person you are, Daniel, and never ever forget how much we love you!!! ✨️ Team Sign to Shine always and forever ✨️

Part 29 - Back Home

When you returned home it was already quite late, so Echo and you walked quietly through the ship and you climbed very quietly into the Hope. You took a look into Amy's room and saw that it was empty. You already suspected what was going on.

Your suspicions were confirmed when you looked into your bedroom. Amy was lying across Tech in your bed. Both were snoring softly and you had to bite your fist to keep from giggling. Both of them looked like they had been knocked out. Probably Amy hadn't wanted to be taken to bed again and Tech, who was too good-natured to prevail, had made a thousand different compromises.

You nearly jumped out of your skin in shock when you felt a hand on your shoulder. You wheeled around startled and glared at Hunter who looked at you apologetically with a wry grin.

He whispered, "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

You sighed softly. Your two treasures were still sleeping peacefully.

"It's okay."

Hunter looked to the two of them and said quietly, amused, "Amy has been keeping Tech quite busy, she's way too smart and active for her age. She's actually a lot like her Daddy was when he was little. He was always the kid figuring everything out for everyone. How to steal ration bars, how to get out of our room unnoticed and all that stuff. She likes fooling him and is having the time of her life when she outsmarts him. But as soon as Tech plays offended she immediately comforts and hugs him. At times, the spectacle is better than any holomovie."

You smiled and felt warmth spread through you at the thought of the two of them together. You loved Tech and Amy more than anything else in the universe.

"I know, I love watching the two of them. Tech is so loving and sweet. Starting a family with him was the best decision I ever made in my life."

Hunter smiled.

"Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to meet someone with whom that will work out, too. Seeing you guys like this often gives me a longing that just can't be satisfied"

You smile at him and kiss his cheek, then say, "My dear brother-in-law, you are one of the greatest men I know and you would make a very wonderful father. Don't worry, that will happen for sure".

He laughed softly.

"Thank you, I hope you are right about that."

"Hey you sleepyhead!"

Tech blinked. When he saw you he smiled warmly and fondly.

"Cyare, are you finally back home? Whenever you're away it feels like you've been away from me for ages".

You kissed Tech's cheek.

"My charmer. I hear our little whirlwind has been keeping you busy?"

Tech sat up carefully and put the still sleeping Amy down so he could stand up.

"Well," he admitted "In a sense, it was exciting. But we got along very well. There's nothing to worry about."

You frown and ask, "Why do you say that?"

Tech looks at you and you immediately see that he feels caught and guilty.

With a sigh, you ask, "What happened, Tech?"

Tech was alternately playing with his goggles and holopad without looking at you when he said, "Amy was a little overzealous. Fell down" he hastily raises a finger and finally does look at you, "But she didn't hurt herself, she just got scared!" He grows smaller under your gaze and finally says, "She cried a little, but she quickly calmed down"

"These things happen," you said quietly, to which he let out a deep sigh of relief.

You couldn't help it, you had to laugh and kept your hand in front of your mouth not to wake Amy.

"What did you think I was going to do when I found out?" you asked, still grinning at his relief.

Tech shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, but I once saw you pull Wrecker's ears when he let her watch holofilms late at night and gave her chocolate for breakfast."

"Wrecker knew she wasn't allowed to do that and that chocolate for breakfast isn't good, that's different. Wasn't so easy to get his ears."

Tech laughed softly, "Yeah, that looked exciting. The way you took a running jump at him. You were hanging on his back like a monkey and pulling on his ears"

"Well, he never gave her chocolate for breakfast after that and didn't let her watch holo movies at night anymore" you said with a shrug.

Crosshair suddenly poked his head around the corner.

"Why is everyone on our shuttle somehow?" you asked, surprised and irritated.

The Sniper just grinned and said, "Well, if you want to get at my ears, you're going to have to do better than take a run-up and jump on my back."

You gave him a small smirk and replied, "I'll just kick you in the balls and you'll come down to height."

Crosshair grumbled, "Nasty dwarf" and backed off again.

"I'm not a dwarf, you're just a tall bastard!"

Amy stirred, and you bit into your fist in annoyance at yourself. But she just turned over and continued snoring softly.

„Let's go get ready, Rex want's to come by and see his niece later“, Tech said and finally got up.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @fairytales-and-folklore♥️ No pressure tags: @immortalmint @threegoblinart @unniebeans @fenth-eiria @rfswitchart @gakriele-lvs-blog @twogoldenflowers ... it's early so whomever I missed I am sorry!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?: Right now 16!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 526,571

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently I am in full TOH brain rot mode. In the past I have written for HP (Ick. I know. I didn't back then.) Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing, Princess Bride and Scream. Also in a way Stranger Things. More on that later. (No I will not be posting where my other fics can be found! Sorry!)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Sweet Child O' Mine , Words like Violence , The Future's Overdue, Back to the Beginning where I feel Forgiven. Stranger Tides

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

Yes!!!!! I adore hearing readers thoughts and theories etc. it feeds me and I try to engage with commenters when I can.

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

I suppose Words like Violence.

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

Ohhhhhhh! I feel like it was You Strange as Angels -- Maybe it's just me? I swear Sweet Child O' Mine will have a happy ending!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Meh. A bit? I wouldn't call it hate on current fics. Some folks don't love the direction I go with fave characters -- or the ship I mainly write in. I got hate on some of my older fics but they were posted on a different site. Ao3 seems a bit more tame than other fic sites.

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

I kinda wish I could? Maybe one day? It would likely be emotional fluff and angst smut.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? OHHHH Yes. And while I won't really mention all of them (again, not revisiting my past writing) Stranger Tides is by far my favorite and my craziest! It's a TOH fic set in the human realm between Kings Tide and Thanks to Them. Basically, the Hexsquad begins watching Stranger Things to pass the time and try to recreate Joyce Byer's Christmas Lights method to contact the Demon Realm. Aspects of TOH and ST begin to blend together for Luz, Vee, and Hunter as they begin bonding as siblings and identifying with the various characters. Lots of great Camila moments too.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of, but I believe I've had headcanons referenced, which is cool!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

YES! One of the fics I wrote under my other alias years ago. It was INSANE when I found out.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yep. Under my other alias.

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

Just one?

Huntlow, Korrasami, Lumity, Raeda, Aziraphale X Crowley (what's their official ship name?), SkorFuma, BoldenLoin (Not sure id that's Ambrosias and Bal's shit name but it is to me!) McKinley and Ben from Wet Hot American Summer :D

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

I am a completist and will finish everything. I do have an idea for a follow up to Sweet Child though, but I can't really think about how that would go until I finish SCOM.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told I am good at portraying emotion and making my writing feel like it's canon?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I over complicate things. I am a thriller/horror/suspense fan so that's how I roll. I like stories with twists and lots of red herrings.

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

I try to be as responsible with it as I can. I'm not perfect by any means.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Tenchi Muyo

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

It was Stranger Tides -- but I am still really in love with writing Sweet Child O' Mine .

1. How many works do you have on AO3? just hit 100 last month!

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 479,814

3. What fandoms do you write for? I've dabbled in quite a few over the years, but the ones I've written the most fics for are doctor who (eleven/amy) teen wolf (sterek) and the owl house (huntlow)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Error 404: Brain Cell Not Found (teen wolf | sterek) You Always Want What You're Running From (sleepy hollow | ichabbie) What To Do When Your Emotionally Constipated Werewolf Boyfriend Gets Cursed By A Witch: A Guide (teen wolf | sterek) Gold Rush (the owl house | huntlow) Lovesick (the owl house | huntlow) 5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do! Every kind comment means so much to me, so I always take the time to respond to all of them (though I'm not always great at getting to them on time.)

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

Hmm probably The Courtesan and the Writer (doctor who | eleven/amy) I used to dabble in angst a bit more when I first started writing fic, but these days all my fics are pretty much guaranteed to have a happy ending, because real life is hard enough lol

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

Pretty much all my fics have happy endings, but one of the happiest I wrote would probably be my huntlow college AU Until You Meet Someone Who Makes The Fall Feel Like Flying

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I wouldn't call it outright hate, but I have gotten a handful of rude comments over the years (complaining that I don't post often enough, telling me my headcanons are wrong, telling me how they think my story should have ended — one time someone yelled at me in all caps because I said that a character chilled red wine lol that one was wild)

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

I do! Smut is fun. Mine is typically more focused on the emotional aspect than the physical, is usually the result of a long tension-fueled slow burn buildup, and is usually tooth-rottingly fluffy, soft, and sweet.

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

I have! Back in the days where superwholock plagued tumblr, I wrote one of the silliest cross-overs imaginable, combining doctor who, torchwood, bbc sherlock, supernatural, the avengers, and sleepy hollow: Lords, Gods, and Madmen

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yup 🙃

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have! But most of them never saw the light of day 😂 one that did is called An Eggcellent Morning For Cooking Lessons co-written with @ash-mcj @tails89 and @nutellarghh

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

I think my top three ships are reflected in who I've written the most fic for: huntlow, sterek, and the eleventh doctor/amy pond

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

Luckily, everything that's posted to AO3 is finished, but at this point I'm thinking I'll probably never get around to writing the little nightmares, reylo, and captain swan WIPs I've had sitting in my drafts since 2019

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told I capture the characters really well, which means a lot to me. I've also been told that my writing is cozy and comforting and fills people with warm fuzzy feelings, which is always nice to hear 🥰

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I will sit there and agonize over the same paragraph trying to make it sound perfect instead of just letting the writing flow, so sometimes a fic will be in the works for a very long time until it's finally ready to be posted (by which time I'm probably sick of it and never want to look at it again 😂)

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

I've dabbled in this a little bit, but it's usually been plot-relevant, like a character learning to speak the language (i.e. when Hunter tried to learn Spanish in Being Human.) When I do write in another language, I always do my best to research and try to get the translations as accurate as possible, and I always include the English translation either in the fic itself or as an author's note so readers don't have to break away from my fic to google anything. (And also so that they know what my intention was, on the off-chance I translated something wrong and accidentally wrote something offensive.) 19. First fandom you wrote for?

Does anyone remember that vampire show that came out back in like 2009? Moonlight? Yeah, that one lol

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? God, that's like asking me to pick my favorite child. Okay fine, it's Until You Meet Someone Who Makes The Fall Feel Like Flying

Elliot Ramos & Jaylen Harris

For @slothseasims "Love is Blind" Challenge!

Your best friend and the worst Tinder date you've ever had can actually be the same person, and sometimes you sign up to be on reality dating shows together.

more info under the cut ↓

**Elliot is the one on the left, Jaylen the one on the right.

I imagine the two actually connected over their shared love of art (and the fact that they found each other physically attractive, obviously) but they realized pretty quickly that their personalities and individual lifestyles weren't compatible for dating, lol. Both Elliot and Jaylen live in San Myshuno (Jaylen lives uptown and Elliot lives in the arts quarter).

Now onto a boatload of info on them as individuals:

Identifies as: they/he (comfortable with either), bisexual

Age: young adult, 26 y.o.

In-game traits (& aspiration): adventurous, goofball, clumsy. Soulmate aspiration.

Occupation: Barista, but wants to go back to school and finish the degree in art they started straight out of high school (just to say he finished college really, and to make more money on his freelance artwork).

Background: Elliot grew up in Del Sol Valley with his mom, dad, and two younger sisters (19 and 23). They come from a pretty traditional family and have been coined as the "black sheep" by all the older family members. Fortunately, despite the differences, they are still close with their mom and dad (even though his parents sometimes feel inclined to give unsolicited opinions, which causes some strain). His sisters are extremely important to him, and their opinion actually matters - if his sisters don't like you, the relationship probably won't work out. Elliot has always been a daredevil, curious and sometimes very impulsive (sometimes quite careless...and clumsy, too). For instance, they were struck by lightning while climbing a tree at 12 years old to get a "better look at the storm" (he still has the scar along his chest and collarbone) and at 15 years old they broke their nose by following through on a dare at school (and that's why it's noticeably a little crooked even to this day). Every tattoo they have has a meaning, but was ultimately gotten on impulse and his nipples are pierced but they don't always wear the jewelry (he forgets - yes he's had to get them re-pierced before due to this). They don't live in most places for long and don't like being locked into an apartment for more than 6 months at a time, so they don't have a lot of material possessions (nor would he choose to sit still indoors for long enough to enjoy an excess of material possessions). He has a history of being a bit hot-headed when it comes to social issues or asshole people: he is not afraid of confrontation.

Likes (and turn-ons): Has an appreciation for pretty much all shades and colors as he's an artist. Loves food trucks and food stalls - the more authentic and obscure, the better. Could literally eat his mom's tres leches cake every day (he has a sweet tooth). Enjoys alternative music (favorite band is Paramore) but also secretly loves K-Pop. Favorite holiday is Halloween. Loves going to local art shows and independent galleries as opposed to large museums (he would say museums are full of stolen shit anyway). Loves singing but is not a great singer (he just loves to goof off and make people laugh). Loves all animals and would definitely pet a stray. Likes people who are non-judgmental and open-minded; cares very little about physical appearance so long as they're kind and can keep up with his quick-paced lifestyle and lively conversation. (Although he is a sucker for beautiful eyes). Enjoys hiking, rock climbing, skiing/snowboarding/ice skating/dancing, pretty much any "fun" physical activity. Loves being complimented/doted over, loves intentional people who are straightforward with their feelings. Loves and craves physical touch and enjoys showering those he loves with words of affirmation.

Dislikes (and turn-offs): As much as he enjoys eating... he is a terrible cook, so he hates cooking and baking. They hate when their grandma drags them to bingo (but goes because they're a nice grandson and the old ladies think they're "a real cutie.") Dislikes classical music, EDM, and country (especially bluegrass). Black Friday. Rigid workouts. Most vegetables. Church services. Movie theater dates (you can't even talk to each other, what's the point?) and long movies in general. Having to dress up (especially if he has to wear a tie). Fantasy games/RP stuff/tabletop games (doesn't have the attention span/doesn't like staying still for long periods of time). Morning people. Materialistic people. People who don't tip well or yell at workers in the service industry. Rigid, structured people (they make him feel anxious).

What they want out of this experiment: Elliot is very bad at dating and very bad at being an adult in general because they think most things (bills, chores, expensive weddings, societal expectations and cues, reproducing, etc.) are bullshit. They are tired of feeling like dating is a job and like marriage is just a contractual business arrangement and want to find their forever adventure partner (who hopefully doesn't want kids. He's flexible, but Elliot kind of always imagined himself as the cool uncle instead of a dad). But, if he doesn't, he's honestly just happy to do this for the experience.

Identifies as: he/him, bisexual

Age: adult, 30 y.o.

In-game traits (and aspiration): athletic, outgoing, art lover. Successful lineage aspiration.

Occupation: Licensed Therapist (long term goal is to get his doctorate so he can be a psychologist).

Background: Jaylen grew up in Copperdale and was raised by his grandparents (on his dad's side). He is an only child and knows very little about his biological mom or extended family. Despite some hiccups early on, he had a really great childhood and was an especially good student and dedicated athlete. His last serious relationship was when he was 25; he was engaged to his college sweetheart, but the relationship fell through before they could get married (they just realized they had very different long-term goals). He recently obtained his masters in psychology (focus in counseling). He's dated on and off, but no connection has really been worth pursuing.

Likes (and turn-ons): Favorite color is either navy blue or forest green. Favorite food is philly cheesesteaks (he generally eats pretty healthy, but cheesesteaks taste nostalgic and remind him of going to football games with his grandpa). Favorite "holiday" would probably be new years eve because it's low stress and the possibility that comes with another new year is comforting and inspiring. Loves dressing up fancy, loves surprising his partner with gifts, flowers, etc. Loves music with a good beat - pop, rap, rnb. Loves classical art (Dutch golden age, renaissance), but has an appreciation for all art styles. Jaylen has a soft spot for sensitive, compassionate people who will remind him to slow down every now and again. Loves working out, cooking, relaxing at the end of a long day with a good book or television sitcom (The Good Place, Abott Elementary, The Office, Parks and Rec, Always Sunny, etc.). Likes things to be clean and organized, although it isn't a deal breaker if someone is a little messy (so long as they aren't careless/a slob/have bad manners). Loves it when his partner smells good (not in a weird way, it's just an "extra mile" thing he really notices) and is attracted to a great smile/infectious laugh. Loves kids and wants to have kids of his own!

Dislikes (and turn-offs): He hates loud music and overly-packed environments (clubs, tight concert venues, etc.). He can't really vibe with overly gloomy or pessimistic people and music (metal, most alternative). He also dislikes country music. Hates attention seekers and people who always make the conversation about them. Hates wishy-washy/indecisive people. Can't stand adults who "hate children" and make that a personality trait. Couldn't be with someone who constantly puts his interests down/belittles his intelligence because he's athletic (happens more than you'd think). Hates when people act immaturely or are obsessed with social media/what others think of them. Can't be with someone who is a slob or someone who needs to constantly be "going" (his job is important to him, and whoever he is with needs to be okay with consistency). He's pretty open-minded about physical appearance, so long as the person is confident and not always fishing for approval/praise.

What he wants out of this experiment: Jaylen likes to get down to business when it comes to conversations - he is very good at small talk, and finds joking/flirting fun, but he's looking for someone who takes their time together seriously. He needs someone who can match his intensity and his ambitious attitude, and he's hoping to make a lifelong connection through this process. If he doesn't find someone, he'd be pretty discouraged as he's ready to get married and start a family. He's not here to play games!

***Perhaps a silly detail, but the headers are their handwriting. Just think handwriting shows a lot about a person akdjaskdjasd okay that's all I got, shutting up now ❤️.

All of the OTP Relationship asks for Tyler& Esme. ALL OF THEM!

You're evil ;)

1. Who most initiates PDA?

Esme. She's a very affectionate person. Both loving to give and receive. And she'll wrap her arms around him from behind, sit close enough to him so their arms and legs are touching, put her head on his shoulder, nuzzle her nose against his ear :)

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

Tyler is a restless sleeper and his brain and body always on high alert. He suffers from periods of insomnia. Esme talks in her sleep. He can have conversations with her lol. Also, she wraps herself in all the covers like a little burrito. So he has to have his own selection of blankets.

3. Hot and Steamy or Soft and Tender?

That's a tough one! I'm going to say hot and steamy with soft and tender moments.

4. how they meet?

Through their boss, Nik Khan. She needed them to work together in Dhaka to find Ovi's whereabouts so Tyler could extract him. So she brought Esme to Tyler's place in Australia for them to meet.

5. What is their love language?

Esme's is touch, Tyler's is a mix of quality time, acts of services, and words of affirmation.

6.  When did they realize they loved each other?

Esme knew fairly early into things that she was in love with him. After she stayed behind on the bridge to try and save his life and then stayed by his side in the hospital while he recovered. It was during that initial week in the medically induced coma that she realized -sitting by his bedside, holding his hand, stroking his hair etc- that she loved him

Tyler knew it when they started living together a couple months later. Just watching her in the kitchen, wearing a t-shirt of his as she made dinner. It just hit him. That he loved her.

7. Who is more sentimental?

Esme. She still has the bracelet he bought her in Dhaka (thirteen years ago) and refuses to get rid of it. It means too much to her.

8. What’s one way their personalities compliment one another?

Both are very compassionate people. They have a lot of love to give each other and their kiddos. Both are very resilient and assertive.

9. How are their personalities different?

Tyler is very much an introvert and she's a huge extrovert.

10.  What are some non-sexual activities they do together? 

Surfing, paddle boarding, hiking, camping, taking road trips

11. Which member is more physically affectionate?

Esme. It's just who she is. Very touchy feely lol

12. Which member is more verbally affectionate?

Tyler. For sure. He's always sweet talking her and complimenting her and trying to make her feel better about herself.

13.  Which member steals borrows the other ones clothing?

Esme. She loves 'borrowing' his hoodies and t-shirts and the odd dress shirt.

14.  Are they an introverted couple or an extroverted one—AKA would they prefer to go out to a party or event together or would they rather stay in?

Definitely an introverted couple.

15. Who is more likely to make an impulsive decision and who is the voice of reason?

Hmmm. both can be rather impulsive at times. But Tyler tends to be the more level heated and rational one. Esme tends to be neurotic.

16. Who stays up way too late and who tries to drag them to bed?

Tyler. He has a hard time shutting his brain down and will always find something to do right up until he's ready to pass out. So Esme is always trying to steer him towards bed.

17. Who fell in love first?

Esme.

18. . What song fits them perfectly?

I Found, by Amber Run. Which inspired the first fic.

19. How do they deal with being away from each other for a long time?

They don't deal well at all lol. Tyler's older now, and with his cptsd and his bipolar, tends to get more depressed and homesick than he used to. He's at the point of wanting to stay strictly behind the scenes job wise so he can be with his family. Esme worries. A lot. And for good reason.

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

Esme. She is the queen of holding grudges.

21.  Which of the two is quick to speak and which one is quick to listen?

Esme. Tyler is the strong, silent type until he needs to step out of that. Esme will say what she wants, when she wants. And he has learned to just stay quiet and listen lol

22. Who gets more easily embarrassed?

Tyler. If you dare bring up the 'feels' to him, he's going to blush lol

23. . Who overthinks the most?

Definitely Tyler. He gets too 'in his head' and Esme has to find ways to get him out of it.

24. Which of the two is the most competitive?

Tyler

25.  Who’s the most stubborn?

Both would say the other, but I'm giving this one to Esme. lol

26. How do they comfort each other?

Touch. It's a big one for both of them when they're upset. Rubbing each other's backs, taking each other's hands, stroking each other's hair. And then mix in some words of affirmation.

27. What random everyday object/activity makes them think of each other?

Esme has a favourite mug that she always uses. That he and baby Millie gave her for her very first Mother's Day. It always sits by the machine at the coffee/tea bar. So that for sure. I think just the ocean in general makes Esme think of Tyler. Even the smell of the salt water.

28. Do they get along with each other’s friends and family?

Tyler has no family, and Esme's hates him with a passion. Everyone except her step sister who is now their next door neighbour. Tyler's friends love Esme. The fact that she came into his life and gave him a reason to clean himself up and stay that way. And has loved him the way she does and given him a family and a normal life.

29. What is their sex life like?

Extremely active and amazing. LOL.

30. What is their favorite place to kiss the other? (Cheek, hand, closed eyelid, neck, nose, etc.)

For Tyler, his favourite place to kiss her (other than lips) is her forehead or the tip of her nose. For Esme, there's this real sensitive spot right below his left ear. And the back of his neck.

31. What’s the relationship like? Smooth? Rocky?

Very strong and solid. but it's taken a lot of work to get where they are. They had a lot of issues early on and they sought out help for them. Especially when it comes to communication. And they're much better for it.

32. How do they resolve their arguments?

Calm and rational conversation. And some times some butt kissing on his part lol

33. Who has the most nightmares and how do they deal with them?

Tyler. He will wake up in sheer panic and his fight or flight is just going insane on him. Esme has learned not to touch him when he's like that. He's very reactive from years in the military and on the job, and he will view even her as a threat and lash out. She's been hurt because of it, unfortunately. Now she knows to talk to him first. Until he acknowledges her. Then she'll get him his anxiety meds, some water, a damp face cloth for his forehead and the back of his neck.

34. Do they give each other nicknames?

Tyler calls her 'Me' and she calls him 'Tae'

35. What movies do they enjoy watching most?

They're into action stuff, true crime, comedies.

36. How’d they meet each other’s families?

Esme met Tyler's father (only family member) when he was transferred from the hospital in Dhaka to one in Australia. Tyler met her mother, step father and brothers when they moved to Colorado and had to live in the mother's basement until they got their feet under them.

37. What do they like the least about each other?

He hates that she is constantly talking negative about herself. especially her appearance. She hates that he's so stubborn.

38. What was their most memorable date?

They never actually really dated, but I'm going to say it's when he took her out for their tenth wedding anniversary and brought her to an empty storefront. He'd purchased it so she could make her childhood dream of owning a bookstore come true.

39. What other couple would your otp get along with the best?

They have one couple friend that they're close to. Clover and Andy.

40. Who makes the other smile with almost no effort at all?

Esme makes him smile all the time. Whether it's her laugh or this little squeal and bounce on her heels she gives when she's extra happy or excited, or even just watching her being a mother to their kids.
