Bengiyo's Queer Cinema Syllabus

For those of you who don’t know, I decided to run the gauntlet of @bengiyo’s queer cinema syllabus, which is comprised of 9 units. I have completed four of the units (here is my queer cinema syllabus round up post with all the films I’ve watched and written about so far). It is time for me to make my way through Unit 5- Lesbians, which includes the following films: The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (1995), Bound (1996), Water Lilies (2007)[finally got my hands on this one but I still need to watch it], Saving Face (2004), D.E.B.S. (2004), Set It Off (1996), The Handmaiden (2016), Carol (2015), Imagine Me and You (2005), Two of Us (2019), Rafiki (2018), and The Color Purple (1985). 

Today I will be watching

Two of Us (2019) dir. Filippo Meneghetti

[Run Time: 1:39, Language: French]

Summary: Pensioners Nina and Madeleine have hidden their deep and passionate love for many decades, but their bond is put to the test when they are suddenly unable to move freely between each other's apartments.

Cast:  -Barbara Sukowa as Nina Dorn -Martine Chevallier as Madeleine Girard -Lea Drucker as Anne __ I really enjoyed this. It definitely had a pretty slow pace to it overall though they somehow managed to pack a lot of shit in it. I think I was most impressed by the use of sound in this film. They relied so heavily on the clocks and the knocking and the loud noises to tell and support the story they are telling. And I really appreciated that choice since for most of the film Mado has her words removed from her because of her stroke.

I really loved how strongly Nina’s desperation to be with Mado radiated out of the screen. She was driven to do some absolutely absurd things like beat the shit out of Mado’s car for the chance to get Muriel in trouble and get her own access to Mado. It was interesting to me narratively that the fact that Mado had not come out to her children was the biggest driving factor behind Nina’s need to sneak around, to find excuses, to steal opportunities and act in increasingly ridiculous manners in order to take care of the woman that she loved. Who was inarguably improving every day that Nina was around to take care of her, and regressing the further and further she physically got from Nina. 

And I think Mado’s fear at the beginning of admitting her queerness and her desire to move was a really good set up for understanding how her children were going to react when they found out, and that while it does make sense that Nina is frustrated and believes that people will not care about their sexuality, Mado’s hesitation to come out to her children is incredibly justified. Because we do see how her daughter reacts to finding Mado and Nina in bed together, and it is to literally lock Nina out, to move her mother to a home where she is overmedicated because she is so stressed out being away from Nina.

I love how clearly Mado is able to express her desires and how vehemently the people around her ignore it all because they feel like they know what is best for her. She walks her ass over to Nina’s apartment and bangs on the door until she opens it where she promptly collapses in to her arms, and her daughter sees this and drags her away and back in to her apartment. Mado on her fucking knees starts packing all her shit into a bag because her daughter is right she does want to travel and her daughter pulling the trunk away from her and unpacking everything. And listen, I’m not saying that a woman who had a stroke that recently should be moving to Rome with her partner, but I do think at that point a conversation is warranted around what Mado actually wants. 

While it was sad that Muriel and her son broke in to Nina’s apartment and stole the stuff she was saving for travel to Rome, I do appreciate that the end of this film is simply just Mado and Nina dancing together without music in Nina’s apartment, shutting out the world and even Mado’s own daughter because all they need to be happy is each other. 

gif by @celluloidrainbow

I will say one thing, and forgive me my stupidity if this is an obvious thing that I just didn’t understand but I was so interested to figure out what happened to the little girl at the beginning, the one who disappeared during hide and seek, and then sinking under the water, and being pulled out by Nina and then waking up from a dream. I couldn’t tell how much of that was like an old and genuine trauma or something else, I think I’m landing on some type of metaphor for Mado drowning without Nina there. 

Favorite Moment

My favorite moment of the film was the way Mado smiled to herself while her daughter and grandson flipped through pictures of a trip to Rome and talked about how one of the photos had someone in it that looked like Nina. I think there are so many little moments of quiet love throughout the film that I really enjoyed.

Favorite Quote

gif by @celluloidrainbow

Not a quote actually, but the absence of one. Mado is playing Bingo and remembers Nina’s phone number and manages to find a phone and calls her and though she doesn’t say anything Nina knows who is calling and it enables Mado’s rescue. 

Score

8.5/10

I enjoyed it, and I’m really happy to see older lesbians in film. I do not know how memorable of a film it will be to me though.

Hear HALESTORM's Cover Version Of BROOKS & DUNN's 'Boot Scootin' Boogie'

HALESTORM has teamed up with American country music duo BROOKS & DUNN to record a reimagined version of the latter band's song "Boot Scootin' Boogie", which is included on BROOKS & DUNN's "Reboot II" album, released today (Friday, November 15) via Sony Music Nashville. You can now listen to the collaboration below.

Regarding how HALESTORM got involved with the project, the band's frontwoman Lzzy Hale wrote on Instagram: "Months ago we received an email we were never expecting to receive. @brooksanddunn asking us to create a reimagined version of their legendary song 'Boot Scootin' Boogie'. This, a request too wild to even consider passing on, more than wet our appetite for adventure. We asked if there were any rules for this particular project…and when they replied with a resounding 'NO RULES APPLY', the boys and I knew this was gonna get weird.

"It's such an honor to have earned the trust of these legends, thank you so much to Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn, Dan Huff, Juice and the entire B&D team for putting your faith in us and letting us throw a wild party in the beautiful house you built."

"Reboot II" is the follow-up to BROOKS & DUNN's 2019 album "Reboot", which provided the Country Hall Of Fame��act with its first No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart in a decade.

In addition to HALESTORM, "Reboot II" features Megan Moroney, Hailey Whitters, Lainey Wilson, Ernest and Warren Zeiders, Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll, HARDY and Corey Kent, as well as bluesmen Marcus King and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram.

"What was even more impressive was to sit down with this bunch and turn them loose to do the songs in whatever way fit their artistic vision," BROOKS & DUNN's Ronnie Dunn told Billboard. "The fun part was we weren't chasing the original recordings or arrangements or our versions. We turned them loose to do whatever they wanted to do and, I'm biased, but it was really refreshing."

BROOKS & DUNN's Kix Brooks told Billboard about HALESTORM's version of "Boot Scootin' Boogie": "[HALESTORM] did not disappoint. At this point in our career, we can't really be nervous about that, especially on a record like this, and especially inviting some of the artists we did, like Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram and HALESTORM. HALESTORM is a really badass, really tight rock band and whatever song they come in with heads are going to bang."

"It was fun to see Ronnie go toe-to-toe with Lzzy," Brooks added. "I was, like, 'Good luck, pal' — but he did."

BROOKS & DUNN is one of country's most successful duos with 20 No. 1s on the Country Airplay chart.

They continue to break records, tallying the longest-running country music residency in Las Vegas and criss-crossing North America year after year on their sold-out tours.

fic recs of the month

this is just a collection of my recs of the last month, have fun <3

Astronomia Nova

by sreka ( @smodernlife )on Ao3

Sirius Black is almost thirty, almost always alone, and almost always stressed out. For the past four and a half years he's been raising his late best friends' son, just trying to keep himself afloat.

But his exhausting life of school drop-offs and staff meetings is interrupted when he runs into a gorgeous librarian - literally - destroying a priceless book in the process. As the men continue to meet - by chance or by design - they become more drawn to one another. Soon Sirius will have to make a choice: risk throwing a wrench into his already-chaotic life and threaten the stability he's work so hard to create for Harry, or risk losing the exquisite man who's slowly but surely captured his heart.

Go East

by @xinasvoice on Ao3

Remus has been running for a long time. Eventually, he runs into a strange castle built by a wizard and his young apprentice. The longer he stays, the more secrets he uncovers...and the less he wants to leave.

This is a novel-length adventure story that loosely follows the plot of Howl's Moving Castle. It does not require knowledge of the HMC book or movie to enjoy it.

Regulus Black and the What the Hell

by @gonzoclock on Ao3

Four-year-old Luna has been able to see lights her whole life- and when both of her parents die in an explosive magical accident, she decides to grab on to one of the lights and follow it.

Meanwhile, Regulus Black has never really thought of himself as the parental sort- he's hardly interacted with a child in his life, much less raised one. But when two magically inexplicable orphans show up and somehow resurrect him- well, what else was he supposed to do? Not immediately adopt them? Yeah, right.

(Features little Luna and Harry adopting each other as siblings and Regulus being in way, way over his head)

Not If It's You

by estas_absentis on Ao3

In 1985, Remus Lupin is getting by, raising Harry, and trying not to think about the past. When Sirius gets a new trial, that past becomes impossible to ignore.

[Wolfstar Big Bang 2019 fic]

Speaking with Serpents

by heliantheae @overpricedpeonies on Ao3

In which Harry would like nothing more than to become a world-renowned herpetologist, and he won't let a little thing like the existence of magic get in his way. If that means attending a school called Hogwarts—and really, how is he supposed to frame that on his college applications—then so be it.

By Moonlight

by Eiiri on Ao3

After the Battle of Hogwarts, Remus recognizes something familiar in Draco Malfoy and offers him sanctuary. With nowhere else to turn--his parents in prison, his home a crime scene--Draco reluctantly accepts and becomes a tolerated, if not welcome, member of his schoolyard rivals' and wartime adversaries' family of choice. As pages of the lunar calendar turn and the summer wears on, Draco and the others begin to see each other in a different light.

that's it for the months of december and january ^^ hope you have an amazing rest of your day and happy reading!

Cap-IM Rec Week - Cap-IM Monday Extra

Last day of @cap-ironman's rec week event! Thanks so much to them for organizing this event, and all the other events that inspired the following fics!

The Highwayman's Baronet by mariana_oconnor, orphan_account (@mariana-oconnor) (MCU | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 125,525 words)

Written for: 2020 Captain America/Iron Man Big Bang

Summary: Steve Rogers has returned from the war. He has made his fortune, but lost everything in return. He is reeling from grief and at a loss of what to do with himself when the son of an old friend writes to offer him a home. He takes up the offer, but finds himself embroiled in a plot to bring down the country and raise Hydra from the grave. Can he uncover the traitor, save the handsome baronet, and avoid being hanged as a highwayman? A Regency AU featuring highwayman!Steve, Baronet!Tony, treason, nefarious plots and a dash of magic.

The Laird in the Water by jellybeanforest (@jellybeanforest-a-go-go) (MCU | Mature | Graphic Depictions Of Violence | 17,920 words)

Written for: Cap-IronMan Bingo

Summary: In 14th century Scotland, Steve is a child with an imaginary friend that lives in a nearby river, the site of many drownings and horrific discoveries. His Nan claims it to be the work of a kelpie. Steve doesn’t believe her of course. Kelpies are a myth, old wives tales to keep children from playing near swiftly-moving streams and young women from entertaining the company of handsome strangers. However, as he grows, Steve realizes that the young man in the water may not be quite as imaginary nor as innocuous as he once believed. For the Cap-IronMan Bingo 2019 Round 2 – AU: Fairy Tale Creatures.

Bugfuck Crazy (In Love With You) by Sadisticsparkle (sadisticsparkle) (616 | Explicit | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | 7,912 words)

Written for: Cap-IronMan Bingo

Summary: It's the Avengers' first mission in a long time. Everything is familiar but awkward, but Steve is sure they'll find their groove. And then Tony is turned into a giant bug. Things get a little out of hand after that.

More below the cut!

Eigengrau by vorkosigan (@the-vorkosigan) (MCU | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 16,811 words)

Written for: 2017 Captain America/Iron Man Holiday Exchange

Summary: Tony is captured; he doesn't know by whom, or why. He doesn't know how much time has passed since. What he knows is, he can now hear something in the adjacent cell, and that 'something' sounds a lot like Steve Rogers.

Let Us Not Forget This by citsiurtlanu (@citsiurtlanu) (Iron Man Noir | General Audiences | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | 36,040 words)

Written for: Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2017

Summary: Steve Rogers knew, knows, will know Tony Stark, the adventurer, the scientist, the futurist. And Tony Stark - well, he's not really fond of the idea of this Captain America fellow being assigned to tag along as he, Rhodey, Pepper, and Jarvis race to find a powerful relic before the Nazis do, but he just has to go with it. What he doesn't - and can't - realize is how deeply Cap is tied into his life in ways he can barely even understand. Also available as a podfic read by DuendeVerde4 (@duendeverde4)

Before the Darkness Swallows You by Veldeia (@veldeia) (616 | Mature | Graphic Depictions Of Violence | 30,837 words)

Written for: Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2016

Summary: Steve was gone. Tony was all alone in the dark, the blackness of the damp, rock-walled corridor only occasionally broken by the fluttering fluorescent lamps in the ceiling. He wasn’t afraid of the dark. An abandoned mine was by no means the scariest environment he’d ended up in. Still, he’d have been crazy not to be afraid of what lurked in these shadows.

The Unlikely Wingman by Sineala (@sineala) (616 | General Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 1,074 words)

Written for: Cap-IronMan Bingo

Summary: Clint doesn't see why he should have to follow Captain America's orders. But he also doesn't see why Captain America should have to sit around looking miserably lonely, either.

Think of This as Solving Problems (That Should Never Have Occurred) by Sineala (@sineala) (616 | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 35,216 words)

Written for: 2015 Captain America/Iron Man Holiday Exchange

Summary: No one knows Tony is Iron Man. Then Tony gets amnesia, and literally no one knows Tony is Iron Man.

Got You Under My Skin by BlossomsintheMist (@blossomsinthemist) (Ults | Explicit | No Archive Warnings Apply | 26,115 words)

Written for: Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2014

Summary: “I’d be happy to show you a good time,” Tony said, smiling a little obscurely, Steve thought, as if to himself, but still with that warm, knowing look, affectionate and oddly fond, “any time you want.” Steve Rogers goes to Tony Stark's birthday party. Things progress from there, with a lot of flirtiness leading to propositions, and propositions leading to, well, what comes next, and Steve isn't even sure what he wants after that. Set in the Marvel Ultimate Universe, and written for the 2014 Cap_Ironman Reverse Big Bang. Art by wiredoll, here.

Happy Big Bang!!!!!!!!! This was my very first Big Bang and it could not have been better! It gave me the push I needed to develop this silly little idea I had into a 20k story.

So so so much love to @greentealycheejelly for being a rockstar beta. So so so much love to @im-the-punk-who for creating the most amazing art.

I love my silly little story and I hope you will too!! @rnmbigbang

Title: one chance in a lifetime (it can't go wrong)

Summary: “Where will you go?” Liz asked. “Anywhere,” Alex said. “Everywhere.” He turned again to look out past the balcony railing. “Life is short, and the world is wide. I want to make some memories.” -- Alex Manes has graduated college with his two best friends at his side. Now his restless spirit wants to see the world. Starting in Paris and following his heart to Greece, Alex meets the most interesting people, has the most amazing adventures, and somehow ends up with a baby and an old farmhouse. His heart breaks and heals and true love finds its way back to him.

Cenote by bethowen

Back to the Exchange we go! And you know, tropical-island worlds are a dime a dozen on the Exchange, but it's not so easy to find one that's done well, with an interesting layout and terrain sculpting more complex than just a flat island. It's even harder to find one that's small and done well, yet with lots of stuff for sims to do. This one, uploaded in 2019, fills the bill. Really, my only complaint is that it doesn't have a...cenote. :)

It's an unpopulated small world, 512x512, but it manages to have:

All rabbitholes except a stadium and the Supernatural ones

Three Showtime venues

A dance club

The EA Regency Arcade lot with added gambling tables

A seasonal festival lot

Some of the "standard" community lots (gym, salon, library, beach)

A few small parks, one set up as a dog park

Four ports ready to build/place houseboats,

A small resort (which I'd re-do as a base camp to use this world for vacations because I'm not a fan of resorts and because I think this world would be great for vacations.)

A diving lot

All that, and pretty scenery plus eighteen residential lots, four of which are empty while the rest are completely built and furnished. They range from studio-style beach shacks to expensive villas, all ready for sims to move in.

So there's the good news. The bad news? It needs a lot of store content. There's no way I can give you a complete list, and of course the world's Exchange page is utterly useless in this regard, but in terms of major items, I can tell you that it definitely needs Sunlit Tides (for palm trees), the roulette and poker tables, and the Al Fresco Market lot because it uses a couple of produce carts from that. It needs the basketball hoop, which is used on both the gym and beach lots. It also needs at least the Town Life stuff pack because it uses the school and grocery store rabbitholes from that pack. Buuuuuut, if you have the store content (or you're down with getting it), and the Town Life pack, plus all EPs except possibly Supernatural, you'll be golden. Hey, at least it doesn't have/need any CC. That's something, right? Right??! LOL

Anyway, as usual, the title of this post is a link to the world's useless Exchange page, or if you don't want to deal with the Exchange/the Launcher/sims3packs, I uploaded a .world file here. Plop that in your game install files under GameData - Shared - NonPackaged - Worlds and you're good to go.

Now for more details and pictures...

Here's the whole she-bang in Edit Town and Map View:

The lots are efficiently laid out, with the residential ones scattered across the island. The world also has all spawners except the Into the Future ones. It has at least the frog fish spawners from World Adventures but, honestly, I didn't look at all the others to see if the others were there. There's also no pond on the cemetery lot, so I'm not sure if there's a deathfish spawner anywhere in the world, either. So, if you want to resurrect a sim, you might need to travel to catch a deathfish. Or, you know, just going into debug and plop down the graveyard fish spawner somewhere.

OK, on to lots! Let's have a look at the residentials first.

These are the beach shacks. They're basically the same, both studio-style, so there's no separated bedroom. They are right on the beach and a stone's throw from...

...the official beach. In fact, you can see them on the right-hand side of that pic. They're also close to the diving lot. So, if you have a single beach bum/diver kind of sim and you want them to live or vacation here, there's a house ready for them.

A step up from the beach shacks, we have houses like these:

There are four like this, all similar in the same neutral color with large windows, but not exactly the same. Three of them are on the Oasis-Landing-like jetties that you can see on the right-hand side of map view pics above while the fourth is more in the center of the island. These are one-bedroom houses, loft-style. They are only lightly furnished with starter objects, but the two in this pic have small swimming pools. Also, the one in the back of this pic comes with a speedboat(!) while the one in the center of the island comes with a pick-up truck, so they are more expensive than the other two.

Then there's this one, which is my fave:

It looks tiny, but it has two basement levels. The first basement has kitchen/dining/living while the second one has a secondary bedroom and a bathroom. The top floor has the master suite with an ocean view and a little balcony.

A step up from the one-bedroom houses are these three:

The two on the ends are three-bedroom and they are the same except for colors inside and out. (The one with the green roof has a pretty goth-y interior, complete with the lighting being set as red. LOL ) The one in the middle is smaller with two bedrooms. All three are furnished for families, including cribs. They have ocean views from the front because they're facing the ocean, up on a bit of a terrace above the beach. (The building above them on another terrace is the library.)

And then we have the four expensive residential lots, all in an ultra-modern style, all completely different from each other. Here are three of the four of them

The fourth is in the little "downtown" area, with easy access to the rabbitholes and clubs/venues. These three are quieter. The "downtown" one is a large, loft-style one-bedroom rich-playboy party pad, while these three are family homes, with either two or three large bedrooms.

Speaking of "downtown," let's have a look at some of the community lots.

This is part of the little "downtown" area. On the right is the bookstore rabbithole. It has a little playground on the same lot, to keep the kiddos occupied while their parents shop. On the left, the building with the pink awning is the back of the salon. In back of both you can see the big concert venue/theater rabbithole.

This is the front of the salon, which has both makeover stations and tattoo chairs. It's conveniently catty-corner from the spa rabbithole.

This is the cemetery, tucked away on the side of a hill amongst trees and shrubs. The little building is not a mausoleum rabbithole but an actual little mausoleum that you could stick urns in and whatnot. It's also big enough to fit a rabbithole rug, should you so desire. You could probably cram a Vault of Antiquity in here somewhere, too, if you wanted to.

These two are non-standard community lots, both designated as visitors allowed. The first one is called simply "Port." It has telescopes, a photo booth, sailboats, a sculpting station, an easel, a bookshelf, seating, all-in-one restrooms, food, and a coffeemaker. Basically, it's a place to while away an afternoon while maybe doing an art or going out for a sail.

The second lot has no name. It has two produce carts from the Al Fresco Market lot, but the building is empty. I'd turn it into a consignment/elixir consignment store, myself, since the world is lacking those and consignment is integral to the rules I play the game by. It'd also make a nice little shop, though, if you use one of the merchant mods.

This is the nice ocean-view gym. Because if you're going to mindlessly run on a treadmill, you might as well enjoy the view while you do it, I guess. There are also a number of seashell spawners near this lot, so if you need to hunt for shells...

This is the little festival lot. I did not look to see what it has on it in the non-summer seasons, but the summer set-up has the standard items, so I'm assuming the other seasons do as well. (Though I don't know if the snowboard half-pipe would fit on this lot. It definitely won't fit if there's an ice rink, too. But, since it's a tropical island, ice skating and snowboarding make no sense anyway, so maybe those aren't included. :) )

And this is the karaoke bar that doubles as a Showtime venue. It's in the middle of the area with the jetties, where the "spokes" converge. There's also the Flying V coffee shop nearby as well as the big concert venue, so if you like to play the Showtime careers, this is a good world to do it in.

And there are more lot pics I could show, but I'm running out of pics. LOL Suffice it to say that there's a lot to do on this little island, whether you use it as a homeworld or a vacation world. So, if you fancy a nice, small, ready-to-play tropical island world, this one will do nicely.

We'll finish off with some wider-angle shots of scenery and stuff.

Tentative & Hopeful

How I’m entering 2025, tentative & hopeful. 

2023 was the worst year of my family’s life, with 2019 right behind it, obviously. Suffice it to say the last five years have been filled with more sadness, struggle, trauma and grief than one person should have to handle. I’m proud of me & my family. My daughter. My husband. My sister. My niece. We struggled, we lost our ever loving minds at times, we weren’t our best selves sometimes; we are humans dealing with tremendous loss and pain, but we’re still standing. We all have fought for joy and have tried to heal the best we can and are learning to carry our grief with as much grace as we can muster. None of it has come easily. In 2023, not only was I in immense emotional pain, I was also in the worst physical pain of my life. At times, I thought I wasn’t going to make it. Slowly, very slowly, my pain turned from unbearable to manageable. As 2023 neared its end, I vowed to make 2024 the best I could starting with getting out of my house, traveling, spending time with those I love and doing all things I could not physically do the prior year. And boy did I- I visited 3 countries, 12 states (Virginia and Mississippi twice!) and 22 cities. I had girls' trips. I had family vacations. I had a sisters trip. I accompanied Rico to a few comic conventions. I couldn’t get on a plane for longer than 3 hours and there were no road trips more than 3-4 hours, but I made it work and got to see so many friends/family and visit places for the first time and returned to a few places.

As I sit here on the last day of 2024, I’m grateful for the year. It wasn’t everything I wanted and it had many stressful moments, but it was one of healing & adventure. Traveling is healing for me. I’m never happier and more content than when I’m adventuring with my people. And 2024 was that for me in many ways. 

I’m entering 2025 tentatively while holding hope in my hands & my heart. January will begin with a bang as I start a new job on the 6th! I’ve needed a change in the career department for awhile and I’m hopeful this is the start of finding joy & passion in my work again. Wish me luck! 

Happy new year, friends. May you find what you’re looking for & maybe find something you didn’t even know you needed.

1. Between 7 and 5, who did you bias first?

mark was first; i got into nct in like late 2019 and i didn't find skz/chan until late 2021 i think?? mark is like , my second or third bias in nct though lol

2. Between 2 and 6, who are you more attached to?

deekay babieeeeee <333 don't get me wrong i LOVE jinyoung but seokmin ...... that's my number one dude, my boy of all time, if u will

3. If you were to spend the day with either 3 or 1, who would you choose and what would you do?

OMG LEE KNOW OR JAE 😭😭😭 i'm gonna give it to lee know tho (nobody's shocked). similar to mel's answer we could go on a lil stroll through the woods then stop for coffee after. we go back home and i'll watch him make lunch for us and then we binge watch spy x family for the rest of the day bc i still haven't finished it yet and he would not have that .

4. What is your favorite physical feature about 9?

donghyun my bestie my bee eff ?!?!! honestly probably his cheeks he has the most squishable lil face like look

are u kidding </3

5. What is your favorite part of 6's personality?

PARK JINYOUNG MY BELOVEDDDDD 😭 he is so passionate about what he does - singing, dancing, acting, he is putting in the work and it shows!! didn't think i could love him more and then i watched he is psychometric DUDE 🥺🥺 that's not even the one he won an award for but like dang bro he was good !!!! also i feel like he has a good balance of being silly goofy and like . being serious/chill/more reserved??? idk he's a virgo so he def takes himself seriously but like , not too much u know ??

not to rant but i love how he loves his members too . he is so kind like he really loves them and cares for them and wants them all to succeed, regardless of how often he says they're annoying (yugbam the problem children fcdjhdvjk) he's rly just the mom (yugyeom's specifically) of the group and it's very sweet <3

6. If you were to tell 8 anything you wanted, what would you tell them?

soobin!!! i would tell him he's doing a great job being the leader to his hooligans and that i get "bye guys!! hi ladies!!! mwah!" stuck in my head at least once a week 🖤

7. Between 1 and 2, whose closet would you raid?

between lino and dk hm ... i think they're both pretty similar (casual, comfy, boyfriend-y) but if i had to choose i'd say dokyeom. he seems just a little bit more adventurous in his style i feel like he likes a good pattern

8. What is a style that you want to see 3 try?

hm for jae and also for the rest of the group i think something in the vein of seventeen's home;run era could be fun .. all the funky colors and retro-y fits ! 🤔🔮 i'm seeing jae with dark hair and a patterned collared sweater .. and pearls ofc 🔮

9. Between 5 and 4, who are you closer to in height?

i think mark and taehwan are the same height (5'9"/175cm) so neither ! hfdkvfjfd

10. Between 10 and 9, whose music do you like the best?

individually, i'm sorry gyu i'm gonna give it to donghyun i looove his vocals ! venus ??? so smooth so ethereal 🍯 in terms of their groups though, i love my yeppis but it's gotta be seventeen for me dawg they're like all time for me we're rly in this carat shit for life 💎 i can't find the words to explain how much i love them and their music literally the only thing coming to mind rn is when dk said "it's love, of course" and like !!!! yeah !!! ykwim !?!!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @elvenmother thank you!

How many works do you have on AO3? Currently 109

What's your total AO3 word count? Okay WITH THE CAVEAT that I am incapable of writing short fic or ficlets and can only write long fic and have been on AO3 since 2011.... it's 2433956. Yes that is 2.5 million words

What fandoms do you write for? Mostly computer game adjacent - Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Baldur's Gate 3, Cinders, Critical Role, Avengers (comics verse, not movies), Once Upon a Time, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Stardew Valley, Touchstarved

Top 5 fics by kudos? Recovery Begins (Finn/Poe), A Safe Port in a Storm (Cullen/Dorian), The Courtship of Dorian Pavus (Cullen/Dorian), The Atonement of Cullen Rutherford (Cullen/Dorian), An Empire's Ransom (Ona'la||Jedi Knight/Thexan)

5. Do you respond to comments? I had a bleak period from about 2019-2022 where I was in a black hole of depression and creativity where I wrote nothing and felt a deep shame every time I got a comment on AO3, so there are people I have never responded to, but otherwise I'm adamant about replying to EVERYONE

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hmm. It could be Grief, a fic about Arcann observing the bounty hunter performing funeral rites for her dead husband. It might also be A Piercing Little Star, which I wrote for the DA Big Bang in 2013 about Leliana and Warden Bethany. And Ten Years Gone, about a very minor NPC couple from DA2, has a bleak ending

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I'll be honest, it's Keep Telling Me To Breathe, my Durgetash fic. Purely self indulgent ending there.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not in a long time, but it used to happen more frequently on Deviant Art and on anonymous kink memes. People were more free about being assholes on LJ because they could do it anonymously. A few on AO3 but again, it's been awhile.

9. Do you write smut? Do I write anything BUT smut lmfao. I mean, yes I do, but I love writing smut, so...

10. Craziest crossover? I'm not much of a crossover gal, the closest I've got at the moment would be some multi-Hawke adventures that I wrote back in my DA2 days where one of my Hawkes was running around in universe with a friend's Hawke

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Touch wood but no, not to the best of my knowledge

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! I've had multiple of my Dragon Age fics translated into Russian

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before? My co-conspirator @sithrightsactivist will confirm yes, and I'm basically a co-writer with @angelicfangirl on her Calli/Arcann (Swtor) fic

14. All time favourite ship? I don't know if I have one? Hnngh. I guess Ona'la/Thexan because he's essentially my OC at this point in time. I can't read other Thexan fics because I'm like, no, that's wrong, he's supposed to be married to Ona'la. And Elissa/Justice makes me feel a lot of very big emotions because I made her to be a garbage person, an outlet for a lot of my own ugly feelings and self worth issues, and yet someone actually fell in love with her and found her worth cherishing as she was and that stunned me. And Durge/Gortash, I know what I like

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Sigh. It's probably my Stardew Valley fic. Or, no matter how many times I try, my Raina Temple/Shara Jenn||Watcher Two fic (SWTOR).

16. What are your writing strengths? I write GREAT smut. And I do phenomenal worldbuilding

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I don't know when to shut up. I can't write short fic to save my life. I don't actually know how people write such tight, careful fics in such a small amount of words

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language? I did it more when I was younger and thought I was being very clever but I know enough now that I know better than to try and butcher other languages like that. I know it reads as clumsy at best to native speakers so I try to avoid it. Unless it's fictional, and then I go ham.

19. First fandom you wrote in? First? Very first? I probably wrote stories about being April O'Neill with the TMNT. I wrote about being batgirl when I was like 8. Otherwise I think it was the Wayfarer Redemption Cycle by Sara Douglass or The Belgariad by David Eddings as a teen

20. Favourite fic you've written? HOW CAN I JUST CHOOSE ONE???? Okay well I'm the most proud of Keep Telling Me To Breathe (BG3) and An Empire's Ransom (SWTOR) changed the trajectory of my life for the better. Also? I'm the only person who's written Justice romance fic, and yes, I do mean Awakenings Justice and not "inside Anders' pretty body" DA2 Justice, so I'll own that
