alsp #7: flower, ned, stolarz

7. goalie edition: score a goalie goal, get a goalie hug, be cursed to go a season without any shutouts ok this is hard.... i think ned deserves a goalie goal since jarry already has one (and somebody needs to score goals for the pens :/). flower gets a goalie hug and im so sorry but stolarz is cursed to go a season without any shutouts (it's flower's last season so i cant do that to him 😔)

Peace. Stillness. Serenity. The two of them savoring the solitude of the moment, breathing in sync with one another. The world is still spinning, but whatever is outside of these walls waiting for them simply does not exist. Together, they are home. Nothing else matters.

goals for fandom this year! any fics you want to write? ideas to tackle? things to try out as a challenge?

oh man, the number one thing is to finish the big fic!!! i am going to do it!! (for those who don’t know: i have never ever fully finished writing a chaptered story before, so the big fic is just that!)

but i also want to delve more in writing for me? don’t get me wrong, i enjoy most of the fics i write! but i feel like they’re starting to be less specifically for my enjoyment in a sense? and i wanna change that! (this also means wanting to write more fucked/gross shit! wrestling fandom is the perfect place to indulge in that, and i don’t wanna be as scared abt it! no one else is gonna write what i want, i gotta do it myself!) (will these ever get posted? possibly not! but that’s okay! some things u can keep for urself! or maybe they’ll go up on ao3 under anonymous. we’ll see!)

for the ask game - 26, 51, 68!

(-@waldau)

HI FRIEND!!!!!!

26: what’s the most underrated song?

okay for me it’s honestly I Don’t Know or Flower. I know Flower had its day in the sun but y’all forgot about her!!! And I Don’t Know is so fucking good but I never hear anyone talk about her either!

51: what’s your favourite song from the hip hop team? MONSTER!!!! Or What’s Good (Also I Can’t Run Away. Don’t @ me.)

68. what’s your favourite thing about Seventeen?

okay so I can’t answer this coherently because I’m so exhausted today but genuinely I think it’s how they’ve learned to work together despite all their differences. There’s THIRTEEN of them!!!! There’s so much we don’t know about how hard they’ve had to work to get to this level of care and respect for one another. They’ve alluded to it of course, but we’ll never know how deep it went. To work together to be able to say “I respect you even though your opinion is different than mine” or to adjust yourself to someone else’s needs (what immediately comes to mind is Jeonghan saying that he doesn’t prank Vernon anymore because he learned that Vernon genuinely doesn’t like it. or Joshua halting his teasing when he sees DK might actually be upset about what he’s said, etc). And the way that now, they CELEBRATE how they’re different (Mingyu always asking Minghao if he has anything to say, and them not pushing when Minghao says he just wants to listen, OR giving him space if he DOES want to say something is just one example). (Lmao me: “I can’t even say anything about this rn!!” Also me: types up a 500 word paragraph.) I just love how they’ve REMAINED different amongst themselves, how it’s become a strength. How they’ve each had to learn how to love/respect the other members in a way that doesn’t lessen anybody’s personalities or qualities. It’s such proof that you don’t have to sacrifice or change yourself for somebody else, but you CAN learn to love them in the way that they need. It’s the horrible “That’s just who I am!!” VS the caring “I’ll try not to do that anymore if it bothers you!” and they’ve worked hard to always choose the second. THAT’S what love is, in my opinion.

what do you see nancy getting up to in the immediate and more longterm future in the in her hips-verse? do you think she gets back into writing in some way spurred by that barb letter? does she stick around in olympia longterm?

I think she signs up for some classes, either like community writing classes or a class or two at evergreen and starts thinking about if she wants to finish her degree in a different way. I think she writes like crazy some days and then has weeks where she can't write at all. I think she meets more punk girls and is a part of the Riot Grrrl community in a bit way (Bikini Kill and Bratmobile hadn't even formed in 89! She has so much to look forward too), but her band never goes anywhere and that's fine with them.

I think she's sad and mad a lot. I think things are still hard sometimes with Robin, and she and Steve are still leaning to be friends again. i think she does stay in Olympia, at least for the next few years, to see how things shake out. I think she finds herself back in Hawkins once in a while, even though she promised herself she wouldn't.

But also! I am a strong proponent of death of the author, so a better question might be: what do you all think happens to Nancy? Anything I didn't put in the story is yours to conclude!

[petrodragonicapocalypse]

Oh wait the mechanical bull is actually part of the film? That's neat altho I am still choosing to believe that your art with the mechanical bull is some commentary on the film that I don't understand bc I haven't watched it. Loving the love on it even if movies are fundamentally not my thing. Ps I will probably like every single art post you ever put up bc I love your style and medium and gah it's just lovely

firstly, thank you so much!! that's very kind aww ☺️🥰

secondly i need all my non bunny and the bull followers to know that nothing i've said about the film has been even remotely exaggerated. in fact, it's probably much weirder than you think, for example i've barely even mentioned the dog milk drinking scene, or the fact that one time Bunny appears in full costume and makeup as a bird (cuckoo?) with no explanation

1 & 3 for the fanfiction asks 😌

1) Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?

Oooh, I daydream a lot. I actually have a - really.. bad... problem that I am not very connected to my body??? And it involves daydreaming a lot, so a good outlet for that is writing.

I also like to have a good round idea of what i want before I put fingertips to keyboard and so I really focus in on what's going on - outlining helps too, but usually in combination.

3) Do you share your fic ideas, or do you keep them to yourself?

I share. For sure. I post about them here all the time, and that's what the Dump posts are for - squirreling away ideas and what i've written has done nothing but make me paranoid and resentful. Being open and deciding to write my stuff anyway has given me a lot more freedom and room to breathe.

they will need to whipstitch the wound closed, but embroidery is a "woman's" task. they will need to eat and clean and mend clothes, but why learn basic things when you can have a woman measure out your life in beads. he will be the "head" of your house, but if you want him to act accordingly, you must assign him a list of all applicable activities. you will be otherwise constantly in charge of almost-everything; so he will lead the house he is absent from.

in movies and books, the "cool" girl will be more-like-a-man. she will be "less boring," more "fun". she will have masculine ideas and masculine talents, which means a man doesn't have to change in order to find her fascinating. she will disdain of something as simple as stitching. how boring!

she will kick open the door of a car and quip what, girls can't drive? and flip her long hair down one side. she will grill and shoot a gun and skydive. be a guy. she will be sexualized.

somewhere, working on computers becomes a masculine task, and now on tv a gen-z disney character throws her hands up in the air. i can't be a computer science nerd, i'm a girl! in the real life, she will be unable to sit through some of her classes, shivering when she realizes she is the only woman present in several of them.

how many times have you read this book and seen this show and watched this movie. the singular woman is allowed 5 lines because she's not just smart! she's also pretty! she is surrounded by 20 average men, but she is stunning. she is the exception to the bland, pale lives of women-at-home, who will never be shown. she likes dirt and motorbikes and blood and shows up in a tiny dress during the final scene, rolling her eyes at our male lead's incredulity - just because i like motorcross doesn't mean anything. i'm still a woman, okay? i actually like shopping.

it is almost never reversed, and you think about that often. it is vanishingly rare to have a single man in a cast of women. the male love interest does not show up at a feminist march and sardonically squint at our leading lady - what? you thought only women care about human rights? he does not know how to balance a checkbook or kickbox because i grew up with three sisters.

when he cooks he is a chef, which is sexy. when he cleans, he's being kind, genteel. when he nurtures his family, confetti rains from the ceiling. when she does these things: it is her duty and her identity. what do you mean she has other passions and hobbies? isn't her hobby and passion homemaking?

the other day a friend embroidered a seam closed on your jacket into the shape of ivy. every time you touch it, you think of her.

something about women's hobbies and art and skills. something about women's work.

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

THANK U SM ILY HFIREJIJFOIJFR

Despite the fact I've started an extremely long and detailed multi-chapter fic, which I love dearly, it is no secret that I prefer one-shots. I have a hard time finishing fic and one-shots leave no room for incomplete fics when I get too busy! They also tend to do better for me somehow.

4. My new ideas... I get a lot of inspo from other people, from other fics, and from fanart! I thrive off of other people a LOT. Sometimes I do just love rewatching something and letting my mind wander tho

17. When writing becomes difficult for me (which it often does) I usually just try to center myself with things that make me feel better about it. Rereading the fic itself to remember why I loved it, talking to other people about the fic, trying to be patient with myself to actually have fun with it, re-reading the heart-wrenching comments left for me (SERIOUSLY I LOVE THIS SM), and most of all remembering that creativity is an ebb and flow and I won't always be creative!

27. My favorite part of writing has to be when I actually complete something and put it out into the word. Whether that is a chapter or a one-shot, when I finally get to share this thing that I've been doing with others... it's so good. I also love being able to see the surprise when I give them a twist. My least favorite part has to be.. well sometimes I get to a scene, right? I've done some research, have to do more (ugh!) which feels like a lot. Then when I finally get to writing it, I don't know where I want the scene to go what's going to happen next. Even the tiny details like how they're going to stand. Getting over those little hurdles takes me a while sometimes. All I want to do is get into the meat of the dialogue! Ugh!

33. I do actually want to be published some day! I have something I've been working on for a long, long time but I've never had the confidence to really get into or finish. Lately I hit a slump with it and it kind of bummed me out for a while. I'm glad I can write other things like LWH.

49. Rude reviews... unfortunately for me I don't have a big enough pull in order to get comments like that. Usually I have an overwhelmingly positive response to my writing. There was once when I was just starting to write... *shudder* they dragged me all over Twitter. It was a whole thing. I kind of deserved it.

58. What part of writing do I like the most. Hm. This one is tough. Going to be totally honest here, I only outline fics like LWH that have a lot of details I don't want to mess up and I barely use or stick to the outline. I guess if I had to pick it would be between brainstorming and reading the final product. I get caught up in brainstorming a lot because I have so many ideas so quickly and its usually main plots and relationships. I have so many ideas that die in this phase and it kind of sucks, but I love the rush that comes with new exciting ideas. Reading the final product would probably be my fave part though- not the editing. Just. I like to come back to my fic after a while, like a few days or a week or so, and then reread it. And its like I get to read that fanfic I was looking for that tickles all the right spots. Because I did that. (Sometimes, if Ive waited long enough, I forget what happens and its all new to me!!)

61. I guess I continue writing fics for two reasons. (Im so sorry I'm indecisive). 1- I love being able to share them with people and see their reactions. it gets me every time. 2- recently I've been really into writing for me. It isn't just about other people. Especially with LWH where I've done so much research, it feels like. Heres this thing. I want to do it to finish it, yeah, to share it, maybe. But I really wanna do it because I like seeing where it goes and I like being able to apply my research in interesting ways.

70. I am So embarrassed to tell people I write. Like if I know you IRL there is NO way I'm telling you anything about my writing. Maybe because of being on Tumblr? IDK. But online I'm way more willing and happy to share cause. you're never going to look me in the eyes and know I wrote smut fanfiction about Sans/Komaeda. You're never going to know about the terrible things I've written about. If I just had LWH on my page, maybe, since I'm mostly proud of that even if it is a little weird, but... I have so many others.

Thank you so much for the Ask! I realize I don't talk much on here about my writing and my process. It's so fun!

Feel free to ask me more questions from here!

Ziyech, Enzo, Kovacic, Pulisic, Mount?

ziyech: smash loooool but also with care. in the sense. i don't know. perhaps id friendzone him. like a brother because I mean he's khoya first. family you know,,

enzo: pass. just not my tipe but I think he's handsome

kovacic: actually a smash i don't get the hate!!!

pulisic: a big pass for me he just doesn't do it

mount: i'm saying this. probably a smash. but a casual smash. like a moderate kind of smash. he's whitey cute but he's cute so it's not a pass
