I really like your writing style. Do you have any literature you can share that you use as inspo?

going to start by disclaiming that from a specifically stylistic approach, i don't know if i have any writers that are distinctly similar. i do have writers that i find inspiring, though! if none of these are helpful for style, i hope they can inspire you in the same way that they make me aspire to achieve fantastic things with my writing :) i am always a poet first and foremost, whether it's poetry or prose (which is often just poetry hiding in a longer form), so most of my recommendations are poems; i have a few books at the end, though, just in case. everything that i link here should be free to access!

i am like 90% sure that anyone seeing this will already know that i keep all my poetry over at @trickstersaint, but just in case you're coming direct from a quiz, that's the place to read more of my writing! now. onto my list of a bunch of other trans poets with tumblr platforms 🖤

keaton st. james (@boykeats), i think, was the first modern poet that i really found and loved. stumbling across some of his dictionary poems as a younger poet was so revolutionary to me, and reading his poetry changed the way that i thought about and approached poetry as a whole. inspiration in the way of seeing the things that someone can do with poetry. opening up all the limits. this is what every good poem will do for you a little bit, i think, but keaton st. james is always my first recommendation for a modern poet. highly recommend his collections growth and light (i personally really love light. guy who is normal about religion voice) and rural boys watch the apocalypse is to me what that one richard siken poem about being in a car with a beautiful boy is to everyone else haha

other poets whose work i really enjoy and admire include silas denver melvin (@sweatermuppet) and dante émile (@orpheuslament)! recommending the poems an impractical marvel and dioscuri from them, respectively. sweatermuppet also has a full collection called grit, and orpheuslament has one called misplaced organs and various saints (this particular one isn't free but linking it here!) :)

my favorite poem since high school has been gravity by maura o'connor. life-changing. that poem is just like me for real.

for more of a narrative style, if you've read + liked my piece aromanticism, i definitely recommend with those we love alive by porpentine! really gorgeous twine piece with a kind of mysticism to it that could definitely tie back into the kind of stuff you'd see in my little quizzes too :)

if you're looking for actual literature-as-in-books, i can point you towards our wives under the sea by julia armfield and white is for witching by helen oyeyemi. both are novels that i've enjoyed for their kind of eclectic and poetic writing recently! i will also take any chance to recommend my favorite book, which is the hours by michael cunningham; regardless of similarity or inspiration, i find the writing of this book gorgeous and heartbreaking and i think it scrapes at the human condition in a way that draws blood. gently. if you know what i mean.

i hope this was helpful! i constantly feel as if i don't read enough poetry so if anyone has any suggestions they want to give me. i am more than happy to hear them <3 happy reading everybody!

YEAHHH FOR REAL.........i've definitely noticed the parallels too!! i hadnt even thought about the "faceless observer" stuff, thats really cool....both of them having huge impacts on history but not being remembered by it...SO much too think about !!!

especially since i have this not-super-concrete just-for-fun pet theory that Luxord is the Player (Ludor, a potential name, is latin for "I play"; hes the only good candidate if the games need to have a character turn to the camera and say "I'm the Player" or something to that effect; he uses time magic, so does Xehanort, maybe he rubbed off on him when he raised him; some other little details)

and like...im not much for shipping most of the time, but xiglux with player!Luxord goes SO hard. and without the shipping context it's still a really compelling set of parallels to me. space/time, for starters. the possibilities of one person being reincarnated over and over and encountering the other's different possessed vessels over the ages. and it adds another layer to the "black goat/white goat" thing.

see, the term "scapegoat" comes from a ritual described in the Bible in Leviticus 16, where two goats are chosen—one (the "scapegoat") has all of the sins and impurities of the community laid on it and is cast out into the wilderness, and the other, free of sin, is sacrificed. and like....Luxu is sent into the wilderness bearing a part of Darkness, and the Player is sacrificed during the events of KHUX...

...but also the games have kinda tried to avoid giving the Player a canon gender/appearance, and having a specific character with a canon gender and appearance be the Player goes against that. i kinda doubt we'll get another appearance of the Player in a mainline game. and if we do, it might not even be Luxord! and i'd be totally fine with that LOL. this is just a for fun theory.

in any case, itd be interesting to see those parallels played with in some way in canon—but one of the best things about KH to me is how much is left as a sandbox for folks to think about and discuss outside the context of the games. not every single parallel and detail needs to have an in-canon acknowledgement!

with it being 8pm on a sunday i've come to realise it's the perf time to really discuss my goals for the future of my blog(s). in particular, the art of communication.

something that's really come true from when i came back from my hiatus in 2020 are my views when it came down to dynamic. from going multiship with multiple versions of muses, i've found a lot more joy in writing dynamics wherein me and my partner as both shipping with one version per single canon portrayal. it's a rule i've held for a good few years now, and ultimately one i wish i wouldn't change for the world, but ultimately lately i've noticed a pattern my end in which i really want to tackle this year, which i hope will also make you guys all feel a little bit more love, whether we're in the middle of plotting something, having a dynamic in the works or already have dynamics on the run.

i'm going to stop worrying about being too much.

this might sound a little crazy, but i have briefly mentioned before my experience with a mutual i had in the past (pre my hiatus return in 2020) where a friend admitted they stopped talking to me because i was being too much and too fast in my replies to them in direct messages. which has haunted me in every single friendship / chat / plotting session i've had with mutuals before this year. i hold back sometimes, with a lot of art / musings / etc hidden between my aes blog and my twitter. while i don't want to come across as though i'm going to be in my mutuals dms all the time overwhelming them, i want to spend more time messaging my friends for things that made me think of them, for people i wish to plot with / am plotting with because it reminded me of our plot / dynamic etc. me being a slow writer wont change any time soon, but i really am not lying when i say i do not suffer from any kind of friendship / interest decay when i don't hear from someone after some periods of time, nor if i dont message for that time period of time - so i want to show that love a little bit more than i usually do x)

if it does get too much, please don't be afraid to let me know or take breaks. i will totally understand your decisions either way!

pre-dating hcs of tfp smokescreen and wheeljack (separate) with a shy/awkward human charge, what would both make of them, how long would it take for their relationship to progress, and how would the confession happen? 🙏 thanks for the food  

✎ A/N: Here you go! Hope you enjoy it ˆˆ

Smokescreen

He's so smitten with his crush that his view on you is actually a bit skewed and biased. He thinks you're one of the best people in the world and he'd enjoy hanging around you whenever he gets the chance.

He's so eager to prove himself to you that he rushes head-first into things at times to try and impress you. He stumbles here and there at first, but when he gains his footing and calms down a little more, he pulls off rather impressive feats to try and catch your attention and your praise. Now of course he doesn't want to seem too desperate or anything that would make him seem unappealing to you, so of course he tries to play it carefully and make it seem like he isn't trying too hard to vie for your attention... It's a fine line, and he's not too sure how to try and reach that perfect "middle zone".

Smokescreen's typically the kind of person to take initiative, sure, but when it comes to you he's at a complete loss on where in your relationship he should go ahead and ask you out on a date, and he agonizes over these things for days on end. Whenever he looks back on times you've spent together in the past, he'll sometimes mutter to himself all about how "that was the perfect moment! Why didn't I take it?!" and "ugh... I should've confessed to them then..."

When he thinks he's mustered the courage to, he tries to do it at the pinnacle of an impromptu "date" when you're both having the times of your lives. But even then, it's hard for him to even begin saying anything, and he doubts whether he should be mentioning it at this time specifically, but he's gotten this far... so... he should do it! He should take this chance while he still can!

Wheeljack

He thinks you're cool in his eyes, regardless of whether you are or aren't. He has a tendency to treat you like a partner in crime of sorts. He'll take you out to go do something fun, but it's also probably something dangerous. But if that isn't your cup of tea, then he'd settle for just sticking around you and talking.

While he's pining for you, he doesn't actually treat you all that differently, nor does he act too differently either. He's still pretty chill and casual around you, and the only difference is that he wants to hang out with you more. As a result it's not too clear that he like-likes you. And if you're sorta the same, then your relationship will take quite some time to progress since he's trying to guess if he has any sort of chance with you, but he can't find any signs.

He's not afraid to pop the question... Well... Maybe he's a bit afraid... But he's willing to take whatever answer you give him, no matter how bad it is. So he finally bursts the bubble one day. It's not during any special moment the two of you are spending together, or anything like that. It's just on a normal day while you're both hanging out. He drops it so casually that it sounds like he isn't nervous in the slightest, but if you were to listen more carefully to the way he says it, and pay more attention to the look on his face and the glint in his eyes, or the way he's wringing his hands... He's nervous.

He gets what it's like to long for the way things were, and he's worried that if you don't feel the same way, he'll be left wishing for that same old feeling of friendship between the two of you. But much to his relief, you feel the exact same way, so he doesn't worry about that for long.

Sorry for going missing I was just trying to survive life and my impending doom (assignment due this friday but not anymore now I guess)

[soukokumychildren]

Has Chuuya ever flown into window glass?

As much as it panes me to say it, Chuuya can still see glass But I did write a short where he walked into glass once at least I think XD But he could have smacked himself into a glass window if he was looking somewhere else, that's for sure lmao

(I can't believe I missed out on a glass joke just now, even if I edited it in)

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

Its actlly so nice to hear a normal perspective on this topic. Usually, its just my own(an example of thoughts I get on the daily:how do you know the water you drink is not poisonous? Sure, nothing happened yet, but what if it will??Every. Single. Time. I. Drink. Water.). Also, the only things I did see was twitter discourse. I think I depended emotionally on my fav chrctrs and projected my insecurities. And I felt I had to stay hypervigilant because theres no neutral ship name. Btw, I didnt expect you to answer the two following asks. And yeah, sorry bringing you into this, theres a reason why being a therapist is a job and I also don't want to spam your blog w/ my mental illness taht was not my intention, its for fun and discussing the two sillies in love. If u wanna answr this then so be it, but like, you can just ignore it

no anon this is kinda fascinating to me so dw, also it takes me like two min to write out a reply so this is hardly taking time off my day LMAO

absolutely not surprised you were deep into twitter discourse. that makes so much sense. hope you've left that behind by now, and if you havent, either consider leaving or learn to curate your feed to avoid the absolute batshit insane things that go down there

1 and 19 for the ask game?

1. the last sentence you wrote

Ahhh I'm not sure what the actual full sentence is since I tend to make a bunch of disjointed notes, but it might have been "They both have bled plenty for John's sake, but somehow Kaz always has it much worse." which I actually rewrote just now as I was typing this out because it was pissing me off that it rhymed (it was a Big Boss/much worse combo)

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

Maybe it's not THAT interesting but I read about Las Vegas strip and casinos a bit for an ocelhira fic chapter, specifically about Stardust Hotel. I really like their sign, it's really pretty, and they had a real moon rock you could take a look at there at the time it takes place :D also its founder's last name was also Miller which Ocelot has a quip about because he's the trivia nerd. I watched videos on poker (Texas Hold'em specifically) for the same reason too since I didn't know how to play it, and it comes up like twice before other stuff starts to go down.

Don't know if it counts as research but I watched 1971 western McCabe & Mrs. Miller solely because of the name so I could make a very subtle reference to it, in the same chapter. It took me so fucking long to finish writing it because I was procrastinating and not wanting to untangle all of this info. The main character's love interest is naturally Mrs. Miller and she did remind me of Kaz a bit. Ocelot uses McCabe's last name as a fake one, and the character's first actual name in the movie is John, which is. a plain name idk what else to say here. they play poker in the opening scene there too.

I DID try to understand how to fly a Huey, the helicopter model that Kaz can pilot for another chapter of the same fic (and whether or not you can do it with one hand which. I am still not sure about but I think that's what the second pilot is for so it's fine). I watched a few videos with bodycams of pilots flying them, mainly just the beginning bit with how to start it. Their official name is Bell UH-1 Iroquois, and the machine guns on them are nicknamed Cobras, which is pretty funny. I am yet to be done with this chapter, but I don't think I can write the trivia into it this time, maybe I'll leave it in the notes.
