theragnarokd: follow up questions: hottest characters in your opinion specifically

lol is that what you initially meant XD

Karkat > Kanaya > Rose > .... that might be it? I think Dave can be hot in contexts?

like i can make almost anyone hot with the right context?

i'm too ace for this question lmao. Karkat, Kanaya, and Rose. I'm sticking to that. Karkat is (to me) the perfect reclamation of what i like about masculinity. Kanaya is a lesbian alien vampire with a chainsaw who is one of the funniest fucking people in the story. And Rose once snapped and turned into an eldritch witch demigod. /nods

re your tags on the post about being into popular pairings

i would like to mention that SLB also scratched a v particular itch i was having, so i am v grateful you did that

(how would you define the nature of the itch, for you? I'm having a hard time articulating what i got from SLB precisely and if i could word it better it might be easier to write 20k more of it)

for me, it was the combination of intensive omegaverse worldbuilding and queer relationships within an omegaverse context.

it physically pains me to make either of the striders anything other than queer as all fuck, and the nature of omegaverse worlds is such that alpha/omega pairings are seen as "normal" even if they aren't "straight" by the standards of our world. and yet, most homestuck omegaverse au fic has an alpha/omega pairing as the main pairing.

i wanted to make SURE that dirk's interest in jake in particular would read as queer in their society's context, so i did some worldbuilding to make it so. i like exploring the idea of what makes something "queer," especially in non-human societies.

(this is also why Karkat is non-quad-romantic in SLB. sure, it's also just a great headcanon with some decent textual evidence, but i do love me some queer angst.)

also, just. whumping dave so INCREDIBLY hard specifically so i can give him comfort in the form of his new-found family.

also-also, i've had the climactic scene (not yet published) for SLB rattling around in my head since 2016 or 2017-ish. i have literally told this scene to myself as a bedtime story more times than i can count. at some point i HAVE to get it off my chest, y'know? so i wrote 150k+ words of setup for it lol.

Writing Game: Last Lines

I was tagged by @tanoraqui for this one! Last lines from the last 10 finished works I posted, not counting collaborations, starting with the most recent:

Cassandra gives a brisk nod to her reflection in the mirror, and turns to head downstairs to welcome her guests into her home. (forgive us the days forgotten to fear, Critical Role Campaign 1)

The stone he sets down carefully on top of the grave marker, among the handful of other little stones left there by other visitors, before he turns to go. (Letters, Critical Role Campaign 2)

And he should stop there, he really should, but the next words are already coming out: Maybe you should try friends sometime. (Cantrip: Friends, Critical Role Campaign 2)

“Maker help me,” she -- giggles, actually giggles -- “if Varric finds out, I’ll never hear the end of it.” (black on white, crow in snow, Dragon Age: Inquisition)

The management here at the Hanged Man never takes noise complaints all that seriously, but still, you’re inclined to hope later that the room next door is empty. (fly away you dainty dish, Dragon Age II)

“The smallest chance,” you repeat, and smile. “I’ll take it.” (roam away my raven girl, Dragon Age: Origins)

“It’s the same day,” Caleb says, and doesn’t say anything else. (Candles, Critical Role Campaign 2)

It stays there, forgotten. (un peu, beaucoup, Critical Role Campaign 2)

Let’s go, is all Yasha answers. (till you face the looking-glass, Critical Role Campaign 2)

A general murmur of agreement went up, and not even Dvora seemed inclined to argue. (a line to yourself or a place on the shelf, Tanakh / Hebrew Bible)

I feel like I can see some patterns here, but they're mostly things I already knew -- my tendency to use present tense for fic based on games, and second person for fic about video game protags specifically. I am not sure I could explain why sometimes my dialogue is marked by italics rather than in quotation marks.

Beginning/Middle/End Writing Meme

Rules: Choose your best/your favorite(no modesty!) of your fics, and give me the first line, the last line, and one line from the middle.

Tagged by the lovely @floating-in-the-blue.

Probably my fave fic is the Foster Care AU but that's not done yet so no spoilers, but since Yeoyou tagged me I'll go with My Fave Willex Fic

Fic: Fucked Up A Perfectly Good Statue Is What You Did (look at it, it’s got anxiety)

First Line: Getting fostered by a rich, flamboyant, gay weirdo magician had its upsides and its downsides.

Middle Line: Or the time they woke up early one weekend to the birds chirping, and Alex had opened the window to shout at them ‘get woke, these are sensitive times!’ before snuggling back into Willie’s arms and sighing blissfully at the silence, bird long gone.

Last Line: Thank you, Aphrodite, you beautiful bitch.

Would you care to rate the five hottest homestuck characters, canon wise? (We all know who's first place but I am curious to your ratings otherwise)

i have been frowning at this question all day bc i can tell you who is the most desired in the story?

Jake - is the canonically hottest, even people who aren't into him acknowledge that he's hot, it is his gift, it is his curse

Karkat - everyone made a pass at him lmao

Meenah - I think the next is Meenah? a lot of people express interest or had past stuff with her. she's cute i guess but Porrim's the hottest dancestor in my heart.

(right now you should imagine the sound of a computer fan kicking on as i assess my databases)

The rest are kind of all along the same baseline, I think. Everyone else had about the same-ish amount of romantic attention from people. Those three are outliers, tbh.

I keep wanting to say Rose, but Rose was flirtatious to other people, and it's unclear how much it was returned. A lot of people get jealous/frustrated at Dave for being a Cool Kid, but there's not a lot of people actually hitting on him. So yeah, it's a top three, not five.

[dedicatedfollower467]

Hey 😊 I have been reading smells like belonging and I'm obsessed. How do you feel about people writing fics of your fics/playing in your aus? Asking for a friend (the friend is me) (also pls know that I'm imagining dirk and Dave having the rooftop convo in this au and going feral about it, but I wouldn't write that without explicit permission as I imagine that's one of the bits you would feel v strongly about)

I love when people get inspired by my fanfic! Please feel free to write any fics based on my AUs, including the rooftop convo with Dave and Dirk, if you like! Naturally, I have my own ideas for how that interaction will go, but I would love to see other people's takes on it (and don't worry; I've had Smells Like Belonging in my head for so long that your version won't influence mine at all). All my fanfic is freely available for other people to take and run with it as an inspiration - all I ask is that you credit me and send me a link to what you've written, so I can read and enjoy it, too!

AO3 Fic Meme

tagged by the amazing @floating-in-the-blue

Rules: go to your AO3 account and find the following*:

1. What ratings do you write most of your fics under?

A tie between Gen and Teen and Up (both at 16)

2. What are your top three fandoms?

Julie and the Phantoms (41)

Leverage (9)

MCU (2)

3. What is the top character you write about?

Reggie Peters (Julie and the Phantoms) (27)

4. What are your top three pairings?

Alex Mercer/Willie (Julie and The Phantoms) (10)

Ray Molina/Reggie Peters (10)

Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer (7)

(If you include platonic pairings, Caleb Covington & Willie (9) is on number three)

5. What are the top three additional tags?

Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics (12)

Fluff (11)

Good Parent Caleb Covington (9)

6. Does any of this surprise you?

A little, I thought the porn would outweigh the Gen. I mean if you lump Explicit and Mature together they're 18, so...

And of course to nobody's surprise Reggie wins the top character.

A lot of the results are because of series (Little Dragon, the Floggrverse, the collection I did for Knot In My Name), which in my brain usually just take up the role of One Big Fic. But seeing it spelled out like that I'm not surprised.
