#thank u KING as usual for letting me talk endlessly abt my fics <3 ilu

[kenology]

(feel free to pick and choose from any of these) 13 !!!!!!!!! 15, 23-25, for the fanfic ask meme, and a freebie bc i want to: favorite line (or paragraph 🤠) you wrote this year mwah

13: favorite writing song/artist/album of this year

ive been listening to roy orbison a lot actually! im not like a huge fan of his in general, but the In Dreams album is the perfect vibe for writing exit wounds 😳

15: something you learned this year

that it's okay and valid to hate adverbs bc adverbs kind of suck JDKDJDJDKS also that its very possible to write fics longer than 10k i just have to plan them out in advance

23: fics you wanted to write but didn't

i mentioned the band camp au and college au in my previous ask, those were definitely two of them but im planning on maybe doing them next year! in terms of things that i don't think i'll ever end up writing, at one point id been planning to do a fic set in s3 where the farm was more like. an actual cult. cause i think cults are fascinating (in a morbid way) and it'd be really interesting to think abt how that would play out in rvd

24: favorite fic you read this year

this was so hard to choose!!! i decided to narrow it down by fics that were published/finished this year to make it a little easier, and i have to go with homemade dynamite by @gaycinema because it truly just gave me all the serpents + fred + archie found family i could ever want PLUS jarchie, and it made me both cry and laugh out loud at least once every chapter. all of my friends fics are honorary mentions though i wish i could list everyones 🥺

25: a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

"Pop Tate, Working-Class Hero: The Untold Story of How Pop’s Chock'lit Shoppe Became a Worker Cooperative" by @stonerbughead is FANTASTIC and does everything the show could never do and more. this is like the best possible continuation of the class conflict the show started to explore (but eventually abandoned) in s2!! and i always love to see a fic about pop 😌 after reading this i have also agreed that it's canon that pop was a black panther in his youth

favorite line/paragraph i wrote:

ok this was SO hard to pick but i’m really attached to this section from still fighting it. im pretty happy with how jughead’s age (hes 11) came through here, and also just. jones family angst. sibling relationship angst. alcoholism angst. yeah <3 (i know this is like. multiple paragraphs. but pretend it isnt xoxo)

Jughead’s mom says his dad is throwing his life away. Mr. Andrews says his dad is sick. Jughead wants to believe the second one, because if his dad is sick, that means he can get better. He tries to help his dad get better, but he’s not sure how. Sometimes, when his dad comes back late at night and crashes on the couch, after he falls asleep, Jughead picks up his coat off the floor and hangs it on the hook, and helps take his shoes off, too, setting them right next to the front door. Those things, he knows how to fix. Once, Jellybean wakes up when their dad comes home, startled by the noise. She joins the two of them in the living room and picks up a pillow from the armchair. Making her way back over to the couch, she carefully lifts up their dad’s head, just enough to put the pillow underneath, and kisses him on the forehead. Go back to sleep, Jelly, Jughead whispers. There are some things she shouldn’t have to learn.
