48, 68, and 79 for the fanfic writing asks. :]

48. Who is your favorite character to write for?  Has this changed since you’ve started writing for that fandom?

forever donnie (he stuck out to me the SECOND i watched the show and has not left my brain)... but i actually find raph second easiest to write pov for, i wanna get into the meat of him at some point because he's really interesting and surprisingly unexplored compared to the other three!!! even though he ends up showing no matter what i do ive been a little hesitant to do anything super duper leo-centric out of spite and mikey is FOREVER THE HARDEST TO WRITE OUT OF THE FOUR OF THEM AUGGHHHH SHAKES HIM!!!! love him though

68. Are there any fics that influenced you to write the way you do?

shout out to firefight for getting me to write again <3 unmaking by corvidown is also a personal favorite of mine, i HIGHLY recommend it

79. Do you have any writing advice you want to share?

im mostly intuition when it comes to writing and not very technical about it (which is my folly, i need to get better at going back and mastering the basics) but what i CAN say is that, from experience, if your pacing seems way too fast there is a very good chance that's just you. if youre like me youll probably skim instinctively because you already know whats on the page (which is why its recommended to read out loud when editing because its easy to skip over mistakes), but for most readers its going to feel a lot longer than it is!!

like genuinely with both caged lungs and coming undone im still like "wow i need to pad this out with more scenes" but so many people sing my praises about pacing, and thinking that things are well-rounded and detailed, and im like... Huh. i genuinely considered adding like 6 more scenes to coming undone and had to literally stop myself because i was going to Die if i did that (i actually think the uhhh. third to last scene? the last mikey one. is way too fast still, id go back and rewrite it if i could)

oh also i recommend character bibles! character bibles are always good, i like writing sample dialogue and keeping track of little vocal quirks/body language things (it also helps me pick out and avoid things that get really deeply rooted in fanon when theyre kind of frustratingly off the mark, although i do have a couple of headcanons that remain consistent across fics like the painkiller thing Because i use it for EVIL!!!!!!). and when i feel like im slipping ill go back and rewatch some episodes to make sure i can HEAR it in their voices

i cant say much about how i do symbolism/parallels/motifs which ive heard a lot of praise about, i keep a list of ideas i have and somehow it turns into something coherent (i literally type "AHAHAHA FUCKKKK IM A GENIUS" in my notes when i get a good idea) i dont even remember where the canary thing came from but now its my thing. help girl

different anon but ‘viciously dumped without even the catharsis of a physical relationship until reconciliation’… EVIL i love it. usually i am in favor of them hooking up before because the contrast between how good things were/how they are now can be starker BUT this is also very good… get haunted by unexplored possibilities idiots!! true that in many ways this is closer to reality. love your airport fic for this very reason… i think it’s so interesting to explore a rosquez that hadn’t considered this as a possibility until it was gone.

… which is all to say thoughts on sexuality awakenings and homosociality vs homophobia in sports it inspires aside. once they DO get together do they ever roleplay being their 2013-14 selves. is it fraught with aging + arm and/or divorce issues. or just FUN

YEAH... as @cvrthage said on that post PLEASE dont forget that these guys are still at least culturally catholic, AND that we're trafficking in the social realities of men's sports. like theres a lot of overall heteronormative pressure being exerted on BOTH of them (vale was born in 1979 people), and while they are still individualists who just do what they want to a POINT, its not like they dont feel those influences. actually for the most part i'd say theyre both pretty vicious people pleasers. to that end, does anybody remember david emmett asking the grid if they were hypothetically gay would they would feel comfy coming out publicly, and every single man on that bench (marc, jlo, cal, stefan bradl, dovi, all of whom were also notably not homophobic i should be clear) shat their pants affirming their heterosexuality to the masses? there is PLENTY of room for repression here lets be serious

friend notoriously bad at videogames said shed play marvel rivals with me tomorrow chat if i never post after tomorrow night its because a blood vessel bursted

Whats makes you a worse friend? Agreeing to help feed your friends to the void and bring about the end of the world sending it and them all into your beloved oblivion? Or serving an ancient evil (who mind-controlled a different party member's mom) and asking it to “fix them” by erasing their memories and removing their free will?

i think stan should collect more cartoon old people as exes. stan and the woodsman shared a passionate night together in 1976.

my biggest hottest rottmnt take is that donnie is way more dog coded than leo. donnie is so desperate for praise that boy is such a border collie???? and leo is extremely cat like. like LOOK at his face. one day you will all see the light and history will vindicate me

She's never going back to that damn town, never. She'll never forget that despite the shambling she cannot deny the humanity in the way they looked.

Can we talk about how fcked up Charles can be sometimes? Can we talk about how Charles can sometimes be actually scary as a person? Like he can legit be nefarious sometimes, but those moments are not as talked about as Erik's warcrimes (aside from the holocaust visions from TAS)

girlfriend i promise we're all very aware about how wack charles xavier can be and i assure you his nefarious moments are talked plenty from what i run into. like outside of this inbox most times you breathe charles' name to someone they'll be prepared to start swinging
