I'm feeling fortunate :)

I had a nice honey almond milk flat white this morning before getting on the plane, and my 8 AM flight from Minneapolis to Newark had no delays or issues! I also had no one in the seat next to me, so I could throw my stuff in the empty spot.

I spent the whole flight reading a wonderful nonfiction book - Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, by Matthew Desmond. So good. I'm hoping to finish it on my flight home.

I had one of my favorite traveling lunches, buffalo wings, and got my Spanish and a good amount of work for both of my classes done before work dinner started. I got to spend time with my boss/mentor/role model, and enjoyed a long dinner hanging out with my department. :)

In November, I wrote a letter of recommendation for one of my department colleagues who was applying to grad school. She got in, and tonight she gave me a sweet thank-you gift of a 40 oz. travel mug and a nice grapefruit-scented lotion. Staying hydrated and moisturized are literally two of my favorite things, so it was the perfect gift lmao.

I was dreading going on this work trip, but I had such a good day, and I think tomorrow's work meetings will go well too. And then I am off on the train to see @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee! Travel days and work trips can be stressful, so it's lovely to have had such a nice travel day.

Continuing my year end tradition of finding things to celebrate :)

Greatest Hits of 2024:

1. moved back across the country :) Excited to start a new year in a new city

2. One of the highlights of this year was reading all 9 Temeraire novels - they have an endearing cast and are a very fun re-imagining of the Napoleonic Wars but with DRAGONS

3. A new apartment. This goes with moving but I am excited to have a new space and hang up art and spend time there, it's very cozy

4. I had a lot of fun with my garden this year, growing lots of tomatoes and drying a bunch of herbs for later

5. I got to spend the end of the year with my family and see some dear friends which has been so nice. I haven't been home for the holidays in a few years and it was especially nice.

6. Grateful for my friends in California and all the last minute things we did this year including a bonfire on the beach and tattoos, visiting weird restaurants, playing games and many many trips to the thrift store. I've been very lucky and I miss them already

7. I did some fun fandom writing events this year with @royaibigbang and the Temeraire summer exchange which is something I haven't done a lot of but which was very rewarding

8. Grateful for my cat

Historically I have done ten of these but this year felt hard in a lot of ways. I'm grateful to have made it to the end with my health and my sanity

Going into 2025 feels scary and I'm incredibly anxious over what this next year might hold but I have good people in my life and I hope that those connections will stay strong and provide light even when things are hard.

Tagging anyone who want to participate by sharing some victories from the last year or whatever made you happy:)

Umm hi I'm a bit new to the txf fandom and while I love Mulder, I'm about 10x more obsessed with (and attracted to) Scully but unfortunately and bafflingly (for me) most of the blogs I've encountered so far (except yours) seem to be more..Mulder-focused?.. Basically I want to follow more people who thirst after Dana Scully, could you recommend anyone? (No offense to Mulder fans, I'm just very gay)

hello, and welcome to this hotel-california-ass fandom! you are for sure among your people 🤗 I think the easiest way to find more simpatico posters is to follow the little breadcrumb trails of posts to find blogs that you like – when I or someone else reblogs a Scully-thirsty post, see who made it (the op), and maybe check out a few of the people who recently rb’d it too; sometimes it was just a one-off from somebody more multi-fandom, but you might find a treasure trove of scully pics/gifs/takes.

meanwhile, i’m trying very hard to come up with some names to recommend – but it’s as if by reading the question, every one of the hundreds of people follow (and have for YEARS) has been completely erased from my brain!!! gaaaahhh. ummmm … @leiascully, @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee, @nimlurks, @iconicscullyoutfits — c’mon Scully gals, raise your hands, help our new-ish gay sister out!!!

TEN GOOD THINGS IN 2023

1. New York / poetry readings — sometime around September, I got to feed an old, ostensibly impractical dream that’s emerged and lurked around since two decades ago. I wrote a poem and got to read it aloud in a wonderful art studio around Chelsea, teeming with so much talent and heart, thanks to the incredible @mirabile---visu. Thank you, dear friend, for giving my poem a home. I will remember this forever and hold dear to heart all the honest conversations we had over pizza, art and wine <3 you are such an inspiration and I can’t wait to see you again! Thank you too to the insanely talented @go-haywire for putting my words into print and allowing them to rest in a well-bound sanctuary — I carried it with me in New York as a lucky charm, and will always be eternally grateful for your generosity and faith.

2. New Zealand — sometime in April, in between jobs, I got to visit the amazing @tsaritsa in NZ, and it was two weeks of peace and great novelty, including but not limited to riding on a horse, feeding penguins, and donning on a firefighter costume! We also walked a ton and talked a lot and gazed upon a blanket of stars. Thank you for all your hospitality and love which I will never forget (and see you in 2024?!)

3. Other travels — I travelled a lot around Asia this year, for work and for fun! I got to see the cherry blossoms for the first time in my life with Japan with my partner. We also got to celebrate his birthday there, and it was an all around lovely trip; I’m really happy he got to have this break because he’s been truly working so hard in 2023. I also ushered in the new year with a dear friend in South Korea; the fireworks were nothing short of spectacular! We got a strawberry shortcake after and returned to our cute little apartment to just wind down and pen down our hopes for 2023 :) I also got to visit Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia for work, which were really exciting experiences!

4. Job switch — sometime in April, I was confronted with this HUGE dilemma of staying here in my hometown or moving to… a tax-free desert… the latter meant I’d at least be able to stay with my previous firm, but after a lot of coffees and deep consideration I decided it was better to move on to someplace else and stay put so I could spend more time with my partner. In hindsight it was probably the best decision I could’ve made; 2023 has been quite emotionally distressing for us and I would’ve hated to see him ensure all of that alone. I was mildly apprehensive at first about the switch, but I’ve been really blessed to have the most wonderful colleagues and bosses and am really excited to see what’s in store next :)

5. Meeting new friends, and in a similar vein, catching up and reuniting with old ones :) New York was a dream, in large part due to meeting some of the most luminous souls I’ve had the serendipitous pleasure of knowing during the pandemic—first over a screen, and then in person, over karaoke, and bagels, and coffee, and ice cream, and of course fried chicken LOL. @x-rainflame-x @roseofbattles @nightofnyx8 @beware-thegemini @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee @annespelledwithane it was so so precious getting to meet you all in New York and I will cherish our time there together forever!

6. Learning a language—I try to learn at least one new word a day, and I’ve also been working on my Japanese since moving into a Japanese firm. It really helps as well to have colleagues that I can practice with—I took classes briefly in college but it sort of just drifted out of my memory after the pandemic because I didn’t speak it regularly, but now that I do it’s been super fun!

7. Getting into Spy x Family — and consequently, getting back into fic writing :) all of this is @nightofnyx8’s fault btw, now I have to pretend I like this stupid fake family a normal amount (when I’m just obsessed an unhealthy amount lmao)

8. Fraud/investigations work — this basically consumed the entirety of my Nov/Dec and there’s not much I can divulge about it (apart from the fact that it pretty much aged me by a decade) but… I felt like Loid Forger and it was fun being a spy for a month. the end

9. Dealing better with anxiety (?)—question mark because my progress is… questionable. On one hand I think I’ve gotten a lot better at regulating (or perhaps suppressing) a lot of associated feelings, but it still gets frightening on occasion when the dam breaks free without much prior warning. Regardless I think it’s a marked improvement from the countless menty bs back in college lmao. To be very frank, having a stable income of sorts has helped a great deal; in college I was constantly plagued with the fear of not having enough to purchase required materials or at times food, and it was just a lot to deal with. It felt like there was no room for failure because I only had myself to rely upon, and success was the only tenable avenue out of poverty, but being able to now obtain necessities and even additional wants has done wonders for my mental health. It’s true that money doesn’t happiness, and I spend a great deal of time daily mulling over capitalism and consumerism and the like, but I cannot deny the sense of security it affords.

10. And finally, falling deeper in love everyday :) it’s easy to think we know a great deal about someone, except we don’t. People may appear simple, but the truth is we’re all a work in progress, and by extension, a continuing story. I could read a million books and write a million poems, but beloved, believe me—you will always be my favourite.

Goodbye 2023, and hello 2024!

[nightofnyx8]

Wow, I'm a lot pickier about my favorite tropes than I thought I was. Thanks @smoothshine for the tag!

Similiar to smoothshine, I love mysteries! Trying to guess where the conclusion is going to take me whilst our two leads are trying to figure out their attraction to each other?!?! Every time! I very much like being put on the edge of my seat as the tension in the plot and the romance builds (actually that reflects my own writing pretty well)

I'm such a sucker for angst with happy endings. Good old hurt/comfort will make me cry, especially if it's written well. As far as AUs go, anything modern is pretty much a go (except high school). One of my favorites is actually Actor AUs! Though one of my least favorite tropes are reincarnation fics--98% of the time, you can tell the story without it (idk maybe i've read too many manhwas).

You can actually convince me to read almost anything if it's written well. There are some authors that I'll read no matter what they write. (aka @jedidragonwarriorqueen's royai vampire fic). And while I like my fluff, I usually need a bit of angst to go along with it or I find it bland.

I also just realized that my top two tiers are basically the plot of spy x family, so go figure 😅 tagging @whateversawesome @wondrousmay @klainelynch @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee and whoever else wants to :)

You can make your own template here!

[edierone]

gotta keep @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee’s tags on this:

#i give david a lot of shit but apparently he insisted on a rewrite of the original ending where he sobs in the office over diana while#scully comforts him#anyway love this analysis 100% agree

rewatching amor fati for fic reasons and i literally just noticed how after scully says about diana “i know she was your friend” when mulder says “you… were my friend and you told me the truth” he stresses and emphasizes the you. he’s finally telling scully what she wanted to hear for all of season six, that she is his priority, that neither diana nor anyone else takes precedence above her in his life, and i think that’s just really beautiful and special

[harcidian]

ephermal 👀👀 (also ty for tagging me even tho I do not and will not ever write fic LOLOL 💙)

ohmy I never knew! Sorry for the confusion! 😅

ephemeral

adj. lasting a very short time

An almei fic! Compared to edwin royai and lingfan, I think Al and May Chang do not have a shared history. And they need more love 🥺. So I wanted to explore their dynamics and how their relationship might have developed. I think it can be considered as a Character Study (and a relationship study? idk if that’s a real ao3 term lolololol)

Personally, I view Al and May as people who seem too good to be true. Al is the one who always takes care of Ed, even though he’s the younger brother. May had the fate of her entire clan in her hands despite being young. I see both of them as people who loved to help others, but silently wish for someone to help them instead. They wanted someone to take care of them for a change. Until they met each other.

I also wanted to explore the importance of equivalent exchange, not as a function of being insufficient, but in the context of giving too much. Not to mention that kindness is something people always take advantage of. And so, their “perfect image” isn’t as perfect as others might think.

Also, this was originally entitled “ethereal”. But I wanted it to fit the theme of ‘time’ for the sake of the series I’m planning, which includes primordial (royai), perpetual (edwin), fragmental (lingfang), and meridian (post fmab fic).

It needs a lot of world-building, and for simplicity’s sake (and for my sanity), they’ll all be under the same timeline.

P.S. this will take a long-ass time 😆 i’m a writer who looooves planning but I do hope I can make it before (god forbid) I lose interest

[bringingglory]

thank you so much for the tags @hanamuri @fullmetalscullyy @megthemighty @nightofnyx8 @tsaritsa !

How many works do you have on AO3? 11! some are botw, one is tdiapt, some are fma, and some are haikyuu! i mostly just write for whatever im interested in at the moment/whichever fandom inspiration strikes for

What's your total AO3 word count? 101,939

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Keep Your Friends Closer But Your Enemies Closer - T: ahhhh my miraculous ladybug fic! ive literally been working on her for FOREVER and i swear to god im going to finish it, i literally know how i want to end it and i know all the events leading up to it. hell, i even have a vague idea of what i want to happen in the middle, i just need to know what order the middle stuff happens in and also i just have to write it. It's an AU where Ladybug and Chat Noir are actually enemies but then Chat Noir accidentally befriends Marinette and then drama etc etc etc.

rain - G: first zelink fic babey! set Pre-Calamity and basically link and zelda get stuck in a cave because of the rain and there's just a lot of quiet pining, etc etc.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Oikawa - T: HAHAHA this was a crack fic inspired by my roommate but then i forgot it was supposed to be a crack fic while writing it and there are accidentally real emotions alkjdfalksdf but anyway it was very fun to write lmao. it was based off this meme and basically it's an AU where Oikawa is Spider-Man and Iwaizumi doesn't know but they still like hang out and stuff. It's a lot of fun, or at least I think it is, haha.

stolen moments - T: first royai fic!!! just a series of "stolen moments" (mic drop) where roy and riza like cant be together but yknow, they try. lots of pining. etc

a secret weapon of sorts - T: 5+1 edwin fic inspired by the Simple People OVA where instead of ed giving winry earrings to get out of trouble, he gives her kisses.

Do you reply to comments, why or why not? Yes! I try really hard to!!! Sometimes I get overwhelmed and I don't respond to comments for a while, but I absolutely do my best to when I remember because I feel like it's my way of saying "thank you" for them reading my fics in the first place, haha.

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? Uhhhhh, sleepless I guess? But it's more open-ended/not explicitly positive more than anything, though even then I feel like I've got a hint of hope in there. alkjdfhalsdk idk man I just, I can't write *pure* angst, there's gotta be some light, and thus I could never end anything angstily

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? LMAO most of my fics??? I guess??? bc despite being an anxious piece of shit, I am an optimist by heart

Do you write crossovers? If so, what's the craziest one you've ever written? When I was younger! Idk, I guess the Rise of the Brave Frozen Tangled Dragons fandom??? if anyone remembers what that is lmao

Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not exactly? Maybe some weird comments on KYFCBYEC but even then, it wasn't that often.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? No no no no no no no no. I am telling you, I physically cannot write smut. I don't think I actually have the capacity. Absolute fucking kudos to every single smut writer out there bc it truly is an art form capturing that intimacy and emotion and etc, but I literally get flustered from writing mildly detailed kiss scenes. If I ever wrote smut, I would burst into flames on the spot.

Actually lies, I technically wrote smut once, but it was at the request of my roommates and they wanted me to write a crack smut fic of Y/N x our uni's mascot and I wrote that thing in like 3 hours with so many silly memes to keep myself sane (not like other girls, tongues battled for dominance, etc), did not edit it, and because it was so, like, not serious, I was actually able to get through it. But even then, when I wrote "thrusting" I literally had to put my laptop down for 20 minutes.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Nope!

Have you ever had a fic translated? Not yet! Someone commented on Your Friendly Neighborhood Oikawa and asked if they could translate it and I said yes! They haven't gotten around to it yet, but I would love to see it if they do!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not yet!

What’s your all-time favourite ship? Bro it changes day to day. You can't ask me this lmao. The current ship I'm most fixated on is Iwaoi, but I wouldn't say they're my all-time favorite.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? I'm not answering this energy. On god, I'm going to finish things. I want to.

What are your writing strengths? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh very good question lmao. I don't really like thinking about "strengths" in my writing bc who am I to say? akjdslakfjdf idk, instead, I'm just gonna say some things I like/try to do in my writing, which are: conversational prose/having a lot of voice in the narration, I try to add humor wherever I can, and recently I've gotten better and metaphors and describing things bc I picked up writing poetry a year ago!

What are your writing weaknesses? hmmm, a thing I dislike about my writing/the writing process is that I'm slow to publish things and slow to finish things because I'm such a messy first drafter and I also take forever to edit. I would like to uhhhhh get things out faster. Also I tend to repeat myself a lot bc I forget the details of things I write sometimes lmao.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Hmmm, I dunno, I guess I don't have any strong thoughts? The only other language I know is Mandarin but even then, I suck ass at that, so I'll prolly never write dialogue in another language simply bc I like to try to portray things semi-realistically and I don't think I have a good enough grasp on any other language the same way I do in English to produce authentic enough dialogue.

What was the first fandom you wrote for? Fablehaven I guess? But Idk I was in fourth grade an didn't even know what fandom was yet. Rise of the Guardians, maybe?

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

AHHHH idk??? maybe hold your hand out in the dark because i really experimented with my writing on that one and im sort of proud of the result, just like the fact that i wanted to try something new and it turned out alright. that or Sunset Wheeling which is an iwaoi fic where they just skate, and like it's prolly one of the most self-indulgent things i've ever written because it's silly and they just. skate. but aljdfalsjd idk i loved it and i churned it out in 6 days and it was a lot of fun lol

ahhh a bunch of people have been tagged already, so sorry if im tagging you again, but for now im just gonna tag @niconiconina @notkorras @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee @firewoodfigs and anyone else who wants do it!

[later-slayer]

tagged by @rizsa​, thank you so much!

[I did add my [shortened] answers to the text for better accessability]

Who are you and how do you pronounce your username? My name is Sam and my username is later slayer

Where are you from? (okay to not answer!!) I am from the United States

Give us a fun fact about yourself. I honestly couldn’t think of one, although I do have tattoos which is kinda fun

What got you through 2020? Still coming to terms with the fact that it is December! I was fortunate enough that my job stayed open so I had that consistency. The fandom, too! You guys are all so kind and wonderful!

What's your favourite medium of Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga, 03, Brotherhood, Live Action) Brotherhood, for sure!

How did you discover Fullmetal Alchemist? I caught a mix of 03 and Brotherhood back in the day, the I did not see it properly until a few months ago

Do you create any Fullmetal Alchemist content? YES. Mostly fanfics, but also gifs, art, and other crafts

What's your favourite scene/arc in the series? Briggs, I love the way the snow was animated, and how the story progressed (as well as the outfit changes!)

Where would you wanna travel to in Amestris? Probably just the countryside and small towns, Central has too much going on

What's a favourite headcanon? (crack is allowed and encouraged!!) That Roy and Riza love each other, that they know they love each other, but that they still do not get together

What are some of your favourite tropes in fan-created Fullmetal Alchemist content? That Roy is an idiot. He is an extremely intelligent man, but he is a dumbass and I will bully him for all eternity

Give us your unpopular Fullmetal Alchemist opinion I don’t think Roy should have cananically gotten his sight back by use of the Philosopher’s Stone. Even with the goals that he has, with all the Ishvalans he slaughterd I do not believe he should use the stone for what would involve his own gain. I also do not feel that he as a character would use it for himself.

What kind of alchemist would you be? Would you enrol in the State Alchemy Program? Alkahestry and NO WAY

What's your favourite quote from the series?  That sometimes simple changes only need simple reasons (or something like that)

I was so fortunate and got to spend Friday evening through Sunday afternoon with @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee, since I was in New Jersey already for my work trip :) highlights:

Getting to see her at lab, doing science things!!

Walking through campus in the dark and brisk cold to go get delicious pizza for dinner, followed by the best hot chocolate I have ever drunk in my life

Taking the train into NYC on Saturday to go thrifting and finding very cute clothes that were perfect for me!! Going to a bookstore with a bookstore cat!! Braving the crowds to have an excellent tahini date syrup latte at Libre!! Revisiting my favorite ramen spot in the city (Misoya) for dinner!

Brunch on Sunday followed by a trip to the Princeton store for me to get Princeton swag 😂

Walking arm in arm through the pretty campus (actually, me getting towed along because I have very short legs and a slower walk compared to her)

Just getting to talk in real life :)) as opposed to texting, as one must do with long distance friendships.

It felt very special because we literally met in summer 2020 because of royai fanfiction and now have been able to see each other at least once a year since 2021 :)

Oh hi! For the writer ask: if you haven't done them, 21 and 25?

21. most memorable comment/review

Yay more chances to thank people who read my work! A very memorable comment was given to me by @thatisadamnfinecupofcoffee for In My Tender Embrace. I remember receiving it after a very particularly hard week and I was just so overwhelmed by the sheer kindness of it that I literally cried in the library just by reading it. I have since reread it many times and it warms my heart just the same. ❤

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

Ahhh there's so many freaking good ones and there's no way I can possibly fit all of them but here are some of my favorites!
