#tbh wren and swearing is my favorite thing

[holofishes]

Can I get 9 and B for both Wren and Vex? 😘

Thanks for the questions, Wash! ♡

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

They both do! Although Wren has a hard time with it and tends to mix up phrases or use curse words incorrectly (you can see it in my writing occasionally, here & here!).

As far as remembering their first one, again, they both do! Vex remembers literally everything, and remembers vividly saying "fuck" for the first time while they were changing their grades in the school's computer system- they got caught (they are much better at hacking nowadays)! Wren remembers her oldest brother teaching her swear words as a kid but she was always too nervous to actually say any of them. She was about 13 before she was finally convinced to say "ass"

B) What inspired you to create them?

When I first played cyberpunk I went in knowing absolutely nothing and had no context about anything, so I made a character who was a shell, basically, and had no attachment. After playing about halfway through the story I realized I needed a character with a personality, and I was curious to see how a kind, naive, overly-trusting character would fit into Night City and thus, Wren was born!

Vex was created because of my curiosity of other lifepaths! I knew I wanted a stealthy character for my second play through, and I imagined an enigma because of how we really only know V as...V. I also wanted to experience different outcomes and different possibilities (who am I?), so I figured I'd create a character completely opposite to what I had done before.

PLL (Pretty Little Liars) Rewatch Thoughts

Warning: spoilers, lengthy comments, that’s about it.

S1 E1:

•

Can we talk about Spencer when the girls woke up and both she and Ali were missing?! I know it could’ve just been shock or she thought it wasn’t that serious, but the way she says, “she’s gone. I think I heard her scream” is just so cold. Like should you not be even slightly freaking out a little?? I definitely considered her a suspect at first bc it was a little sus

•

Holly Marie Combs my beloved!! I swear I love all the moms in this show (Pam took me awhile tho)

•

Forgot that Aria’s brother (Mike?) played lacrosse. It’s funny considering Cody Christian was in Teen Wolf and they played lacrosse too. Is it really that popular in schools? (Did you know pll also stands for Premium Lacrosse League)

•

Byron (derogatory) Completely forgot about him cheating tbh. I just don’t like him or his vibes

•

Not Ezra saying he tried writing but didn’t get to far while the poster of Ali is up on the wall and he knows all about Aria bc of Ali and his book 🤢 l was really about to defend him this one time but then I remembered. It’s so predatory and 🤮

•

I miss short yet interesting intros like this

•

Okay but the way Emily says “we all know she’s Dead, right?” Like girl no wonder Aria looked at you like that acting all suspicious just like Spencer.

•

Aw. Aria assuming the rest of the group were still friends just gets to me somehow. It’s almost touching in a way.

•

Yeah “Holy crap” is right Ezra, but you still ain’t gonna learn , are you?! Ya creep

•

Not being able to see Mona in the shot just before first A text is just so *chefs kiss*

•

Ah, Melissa (derogatory)

•

Wren my baby. Poor thing has no idea of what’s to come.

•

“You know what they say about hope, it breeds eternal misery” by far one of my favorite/memorable quotes.

•

Oh Ezra, you should’ve just ended it right then and there.

•

The fat shaming in this show when the characters not even remotely overweight (I don’t think anyone should be shamed for their size in general but I’m making a point) is just so toxic. It’ll be a miracle if I don’t relapse.

•

Honestly the original Ian actor was so much more attractive than the one who replaced him

•

I know what I just said about fat shaming Hannah but having her causally pick the croutons out of her salad while talking with her mom is genius. It shows she’s still struggling with an eating disorder but doesn’t focus in on it. It’s subtle. Her eating disorder isn’t supposed to be known to the audience and yet this provides a sense of consistency. It’s a nice touch.

•

Emily saying she knew Alison was back and then the coroner coming about with the body bag is just so sad. My poor baby 🥺

•

Ezra you and I both know you have no right reason to be at that funeral. Also you know damn well she was a friend of hers. Just stop, turn around, and leave town now.

•

I can’t believe Ezria used to be my OTP. It’s so hard to watch now. She is 16 sir. Not to mention your student.

•

Such a dramatic ending to the first ep. Absolutely ICONIC.

Honesty this was fun. I might do more. It just depends.

Naruto Fanfics!!

Link to Part 2 here!

***Time Travel***

 backslide by blackkat COMPLETE

 This was one of my first time travel fanfics… and my first slash fanfic as well.  But blackkat is incredibly talented with her writing, and I find myself unable to find a flaw in any of her fics!  She has great skill in characterization and fluff, as well as plot.  I also recommend Stormborn, reverse, Snake in the Grass, Wolf at the Door, and, really, all her fics.  But those are my favorites!

 A Wrinkle in Time by rightforlife ABANDONED

 Just an epic fic.  Naruto, Shikamaru, and Lee go back in time and they are epic.  I love their relationship in here! I guess you could consider them all OP, but I found it fun that way… The fic is abandoned though, sadly.

 It's For a Good Cause, I Swear! By Sarah1281 COMPLETE

 A hilarious fanfic, where Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura go back in time and fixes a lot of things in a hilarious way. I really love how they deal with Orochimaru lol

 Team Tensai and Mangekyo Sharingan by Wingwyrm COMPLETE

 Team 7 goes back in time and find themselves to be kids!  They're both awesome, though Mangekyo Sharingan is a little darker than Team Tensai, due to talks of child rape.  

 Thicker Than Blood by EmptySurface ABANDONED

 Sasuke and Naruto go back in time, though they come back as kids.  Their relationship in here is really sweet and I really wish the story would be continued…

 Time and Again by KyLewin COMPLETE (with a sequel)

 A really good fanfic.  Naruto at first thinks he's in a genjutsu, which is a little unique. It was very well written.

 The Lives Worth Saving by cyywsaphyre ABANDONED

 Awesome fic! And unique in that Naruto goes back in his physical body and the way he deals with Hizashi is really awesome.

 Begging for Forgiveness by Freezing Rain WIP?

 This is Kakashi-centric and incredibly hard on the heart because KAKASHI and he is just so messed up.  I love his relationship with his ninken in here though.

 Just the Usual Habits by mapplepie ONE-SHOT

 Kakashi-centric and incredibly heart-wrenching.  But really well written.

 Unwanted Trip by Solara Myles ONGOING

 One of my absolute favorites!  Team 7 is sent back in time and they're, obviously, kick ass. They're relationship with Kakashi is amazing in here.  Also, the author's plot is very unique compared to other time travels, imo, and it's just well done.  

 Parallels by QuestofDreams COMPLETE

 This is more of a dimensional-travel thing, also SNS. It's pretty good though!  The Yondaime is in here, though I think this was written before it was revealed that the Yondaime was Minato.  

 Silent Guardians by FallenQueen2 COMPLETE

 Naruto and Shikamaru go back in time to fix stuff. They fix stuff epically, of course.

 Steal My Thunder God by Nauro

 Naruto experiments with the Hiraishin and finds himself on the night of his birth… and mistaken for Minato.  It's a pretty unique idea, though I think the fic is abandoned.

 Into the Future by ichilover3

 SNS fanfic!  Sasuke and Naruto go into the future and find their future selves in a relationship.  It's a lot of smut/fluff, but it's cute and funny.  Not much for plot though, since the focus is on the pairing.

 Yet, mad I am not by Erisah Mae ONGOING

 Itachi-centric.  He dies and finds himself in the past of another dimension.  It's a pretty awesome fanfic, and I really like Itachi in here!

 Escape Artist by Fiorea POSSIBLY ABANDONED?

 MinaNaru.  It's a really good fanfic, and it made me like the pairing cause of the way it's done. Naruto has a lot of issues he has to go through in here, and Minato helps him.  They have a very cute relationship, which starts off as friends with Minato hinting interest and Naruto being his lovely oblivious self. But it's super cute and very well done. Really hope it's not abandoned.

 History has its eyes on you by tasalmalin COMPLETE

 Kakashi-centric! It's a five-part series, and it really explores Kakashi's mental state very well.  The whole series is well done and does justice to Kakashi's character.

 A snake among the leaves by blackkat COMPLETE

 Orochimaru goes back in time and he brilliantly fixes stuff, much to the suspicion of everyone haha.

 Hush by Xov ABANDONED

 ItaNaru.  Naruto goes back in time, but it seems to be another dimension.  Naruto tries to fix stuff, but he realizes he really can't because of it being a whole other dimension and all. Minato is alive in here and Naruto has PTSD.

 Tampering with Time by Palaserece ONGOING

 REALLY good and one of my absolute favorites! Minato goes back in time, but as a sort of reincarnation.  The fic is well-written, really long and still updating, and it's really awesome because of the characterizations!

 Stumble by writer168 ONGOING (nearly complete)

 Sakura and Sasori go back in time!  Sakura is epic in here and Sasori is hilarious. There are also other characters go back in time but I won't spoil it!  Sakura has serious trauma in here.  The characters are all well done and I love her frienship with Kakashi!  (I'm a total Kakashi fan… if it isn't obvious by now…)

 Blind Stars of Fortune by 100demons ONGOING

 Kakashi goes back in time and into his 20 year old self!  Well-written and awesome plot!  I just love Kakashi.  

 Walking Backwards on a Tightrope by Lithos Maitreya

 Really good fic!  A lot of people go back in time, including Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Shino.  It's well-written and interesting in its twists.

 Shinobi Rules by Squishfie

 One of the few fem!Naruto fics I enjoyed… mostly cause it's KakaNaru lol.  But Naruto goes back in time and becomes a student under Minato.  It's a cute story, imo.

 ***Gen Fics and Self-Inserts***

 Naruto Hatake by Agent-G COMPLETE

 I really like the idea of Kakashi adopting Naruto and kind of wish he had, even though I understand he couldn't (mentally).  Just a really cute fic with a good plot.

 Dreaming of Sunshine by Silver Queen ONGOING

 One of my first self-insert fanfics and one of the best. It made me fall in love with the Nara Clan.  Just INCREDIBLY well-written with amazing plot lines.

 Sakura by Darkpetal16 COMPLETE

 A SI where the person finds herself in Sakura. Hilarious and the character's pretty awesome.  Good plot too.

 Déjà vu no Jutsu by Vixen Tail COMPLETE

 Really well-written SI, set before/during Third Shinobi war.  I like Minato in here :) Really, all the characters in here.  Also chibi!Kakashi is adorable.  

 Naruto: Myoushuu no Fuuin by May Wren ABANDONED

 A what-if fic.  What if Naruto was a seal master at a young age?  Really well written and pretty awesome! :D

 The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

 Features Kushina and Minato alive.  Does have Naruto neglected at a young age by them though… But, otherwise, a really great fic. I think Naruto is a little OP in here, and slightly OOC sometimes, but I still enjoyed the fic and it has an interesting pairing.  

 Unplanned Paternity by TwinTrouble ABANDONED…?

 Another fic where Kakashi takes care of chibi!Naruto! It's one of my favorites and just really well-written and pretty long too.  

 Broken by azfaerydust COMPLETE with a sequel!

 An angsty and fluffly Kakashi adopts Naruto fic. The author characterizes Naruto and Kakshi well, since they both are very traumatized in this fic.  It's just adorable because Kakashi is overprotective and ahh! One of my favorites and I've reread it way too many times!

 Of Harrowed Hearts by Sable_Scribe ONGOING

 REALLY amazing and one of my favorites!  Naruto and Team 7 is awesome in here, and Kurama is also amazing. The story updates weekly (as of now) and it's super satisfying and I love the plot.  

 Tuna Fish and Red-Splattered Pages by Pitch Black Magpie ONGOING

 I really love Team 7 in here.  Naruto and Sasuke's frienship is pretty awesome as well. Naruto's character is very… unique too. I like the supernatural side of the story too, though I guess it seems slightly crack-y.  I like the view Naruto has of the Uchiha as well.

 A Political Perspective by VJ Riddle

 Kakashi creates an epic Team 7.  Really wish this had happened in canon tbh.  

 The Somewhat Cracked mind of Uchiha Itachi by Kereea

 Hilarious!  I really love Itachi in here and, really, everyone.

 Blood Sings by Fireun Feather ONGOING

 Naruto is a half-demon in here. I like Minato and Naruto in here and their father-son relationship.  

 Chiaroscuro by boomvroomshroom

 Shikamaru-centric!  I really enjoy the plot.  

 ***Pairing fics***

 (mostly slash fanfics… you have been warned)

 ~SNS

 (A lot of these fics are dark with fluff mixed in… because I can't see SNS being totally fluffy.  It doesn't really fit in with how I see them. ��They're both messed up people, Sasuke more evidently.)

 Sound of Dreams by zrina COMPLETE

 Really, really love this one because it features an amazing plot, is super long, and I love the characterizations of Naruto and Sasuke.  This is a NaruSasu fic and really well-written.

 A World of Truth by luchia COMPLETE

 Enjoyed this one because it's in Sasuke's POV and I liked how his character was done in here. It shows he's very human, but not irredeemable.

 Hopeless Wanderer by dawnstruck (series)

 Super dark but really delicious.  Sasuke takes Naruto with him when he defects and wow… it's really good!  Their relationship is very codependent, which, in reality, they are based on canon imo. I like the idea of Naruto and Sasuke leaving Konoha together tbh.

 Post-Traumatic by IsolaVirtuosa COMPLETE

 Really long and incredibly dark at times. Sasuke is really messed up in here and Naruto isn't altogether sane himself.  Their relationship is very messed-up, but the ending is satisfying after that roller-coaster of a journey.

 All In by Narutos Mother (momhuey) COMPLETE

 The second half of the story is VERY dark, but Sasuke is super sweet in here. Slight Sakura-bashing?  She's the villain of the story in here.

 Lost on the Road of Life by shherie (series)

 Cute story (it's the first in a very cute series anyways), but Sasuke and Naruto do have issues getting into a relationship. Naruto is determined in here though and Sasuke is his bastard self in the first story, though absolutely adorable in the rest of the series.  Hachi, the sequel after a series of one-shots, is really good too!

 Titanic by meowstelle ONE-SHOT

 In Itachi's POV and an AU.  But I found it really hilarious.

 Breaking him down by IvvyMoon COMPLETE

 Another dark fic, because Sasuke is an utter bastard at the beginning, though he redeems himself.  

 Healing the Broken by KizuKatana COMPLETE

 Dark and angsty, but their characters are done well. Great ending and plot.

 An Invincible Summer by ShanaStoryteller COMPLETE

 Naruto is gender-fluid in here, but WOW is it done well! The whole story is absolutely amazing and I didn't want it to end!

 Phoenix Rising by Kai_Maciel

 This isn't really SNS, because Naruto ends up raising Sasuke (you have to read it to find out why), but I really like the relationship because chibi!Sasuke is adorable and Naruto as a father should be this way, not the way he is to Boruto.  

 For Brothers Share This Bond by bluedemon92 COMPLETE

 Okay, this is the definition of dark and angsty. It's really hard to read sometimes because of the issues… but it's more Itachi-centric, with SNS.  But it has a unique plot and is well-written. Also KakaIta and KisaIta.

 The sun within me by fangirlandiknowit ONGOING

 Sasuke and Naruto find themselves in another dimension (from the movie Road to Ninja) and the plot is interesting.

 ~KakaNaru

 (One of my OTPs, nbd)

 A ninja must see underneath the underneath by Blooregard89 COMPLETE

 KakaNaru and their frienship-to-romance is cute.  

 Things Just Ain't the Same Any Time the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game by barspoon COMPLETE

 ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  She does the relationship REALLY well and it's just amazing.  

 Konoha's Orange by purplefox COMPLETE

 Good plot and it's interesting, that's for sure.  I like that there's a bit of dimension travel in here and I like the relationship.  Kakashi is the one who's oblivious in here, which is pretty funny.

 A Safe Haven by Red_Hot_Holly_Berries ONGOING

 I like the plot in here and I really look forward to the rest!

 When You Look Me in The Eyes by blueicequeen ONE-SHOT

 REALLY like this one!  A long one-shot and their relationship is super well done. Especially since it's just a one-shot!

 Fifteen Million Ryo by Riya3 COMPLETE

 An interesting plot idea and I like how the relationship comes about.  It's also funny and the side story with Sakura and Sai is done well.

 (If you have other KakaNaru fics, I'd really, really love you if you'd let me know. There aren't enough in the world…)

 ~Other Pairings

 Break to Breathe by Okami Rayne COMPLETE (series)

 ShikaNeji!  Interesting plot and the characterization is well done, to say the least.

 Hyakumensou by Agni ABANDONED?

 ItaNaru!  I like the idea of an arranged marriage and I like how the relationship progresses. Though Itachi could be considered slightly OOC, but I still enjoyed it.

 Dimension by YukiwaFuru ABANDONED…

 NaruMina… short, but I really enjoyed Naruto in here. The relationship was only a friendship, from what is written.

 Walk the road of life by LasySwitch COMPLETE

 KakaObi.  A soulmate AU and it's cute.

 Stalker by SweetDreamsAreMadeOfNaruto ONESHOT

 A dark ObiKaka.  

 Kiss and Run by SweetDreamsAreMadeOfNaruto ONESHOT

 Cute KakaObi!  

 It's Just That Any One of Us is Half Without Another One is You by Branch COMPLETE

 This is largely Gen and takes the original Naruto plot and fleshes it out and gives a lot more justice to the plot.  It ends up being SakuSasuNaru.

 In Bond and Blood by thehoyden ONESHOT

 KakaIru.  One of the few KakaIru's I enjoyed!  

 A Set-up For A Romantic Comedy by sleepyjeesh COMPLETE

 KakaObi!  Super cute and I like Obito in here!

 Surrender by triste ONESHOT

 Dark ItaNaru!  Interesting idea though.

 Your heart is a weapeon the size of your first by blackkat

 ZabuNaru (rare pairing).  It's well done because blackkat somehow makes any pairing work!

 Another reincarnation story by HeavenOnFire COMPLETE

 KisaIta.  Itachi is reincarnated, as well as Kisame. It's a nice story with a good plot.  

 The Grey Crayon by checkerbloom COMPLETE

 MinaKaka.  Chibi!Naruto is super adorable!  The whole story is cute.  

 The Way Things Are by Aini COMPLETE

 ShikaNeji.  It's a cute story and I like the pairing :)

Favorite music in 2018?

Believe it or not I literally watched the greatest showman and got into the soundtrack over this weekend and would love to scream about it okay @woogwoo-wren i have multiple Feelings about Things

New Years Question Tag

Go tagged by @andyet-i-smile (thanks for all the tags and I’m sorry i only do a few!)

Rules: Answer all 20 questions and tag 10 people to do the same.

1. What was the best thing about 2018 for you? Hmmm…  It wasn’t a great year in many aspects, but I feel like I’ve become a lot more mature/independent this year, which is nice!

2. Looking back through 2018, what is one thing you want to change in 2019? On the first day of school, a great person showed me around. Turns out she was in Dad’s form class and a little worried about going into a form class with a new teacher. We got talking and she was nice and asked if I wanted to hang out with her group come school starting. I decline in favour of hanging out with a group that had people from the same classes as me. But I didn’t fit in with that crowd and eventually, I was just sitting alone in breaks. If I could change anything I would go hang out with her and her group, and maybe I would have enjoyed my year a lot more. 

3. What are a few new things you tried in 2018? Starting school was the biggest. Never been to school a day in my life and went for a full year, so that was interesting. I’m not sure what else tbh… Drove a manual for the first time. Directed a small group in my drama class, that was fun!

4. What are a few new things you plan to try in 2019? Well, I’m starting University next year, so a lot.

5. Did you enjoy your birthday in 2018? It was pretty good! My brother and his girlfriend were up, I had a friend over for dinner, then one of my brother’s friend who is also a pretty good friend of mine showed up and we had fireworks and watched Hunt for the Wilder people.

6. What was some of your favorite music in 2018? GREATEST SHOWMAN SOUNDTRACK. I know, that came out last year (I think?) but I only watched the movie recently and I love it. Owl City’s new album Cinematic was great as well!

7. What was something unexpected about 2018? Finding out my family is going to be moving next year. Kinda normal around my family, but it’ll be interesting to figure out next year!

8. Do you have any personal goals for 2019? Gonna try to finally get into a habit of reading my Bible/writing/reading every day. That’s my main goal, to read more and to write every day. 

9. If your life in 2018 were a movie or book, what it would be about? What the genre be? Like a Highschool, cliche first year, new girl type thing. Except it’d be pretty boring because I didn’t do anything at school! 

10. Are you currently looking forward to or dreading 2019? I am so excited for next year! I’m so excited to move into my new home and meet new people and learn new things. I’m just really excited to see what it brings! 

For the final 10 questions, give short answers to look back on at this time next year and see if they’ve changed.

11. How would you describe your personal style? IUuuh, ideally brown boots and jeans… woollen sweater type things, no makeup, shoulder length hair. Idk I’m bad at this. XD

12. What fandom are you most into at the moment? The Jackesepticeye community probably. Those guys are great and I love the ego lore. also i just spent $130 on a PMA hoodie help Marvel is a close second though. 

13. What’s your favourite color? Purple! I love purple!

14. Are you currently single/do you have a crush on anyone? very single, no crush really.

15. What’s something you’re most scared of? Still don’t like small spaces, but honestly I can’t think of anything else…

16. Books or movies? Ooo that’s haaard…I love books, always have, always will. But movies are great as well. If I had to choose, I’d say books because you can connect with the characters a lot more. 

17. Go-to music? Owl City

18. Nighttime or daytime? Probably nighttime but they’re both nice in different ways. 

19. Describe yourself in 3 words. Loyal, procrastination, creative. 

20. How do you most like to spend your time? watching videos or talking to people, usually over discord.
