#they also have another similarity (cancer) but that one was a little sad so i omitted it

finally made the rick wright and peter tork venn diagram

[aloysiavirgata]

Thanks to @numinousmysteries for tagging me! I had never checked these stats before!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

92

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

484,620

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I’ve written for Hannibal, Battlestar Galactica, The Fall, and The X-Files, but only The X-Files at this point.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Parting Glass (smut)

Animus Possidendi (dark smut)

The Common Fate of All Things Rare (casefile, cowritten)

Lacuna (casefile)

This Her Fever (cancer arc)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes and no. Not like I should. I am so deeply, truly grateful for every single one.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Well, I killed William in Inhaling the Different Dawn, but that wasn’t at the end.

Maybe Where The Vines Cling Crimson? Scully’s cancer comes back and her fate is ambiguous. And I had Scully kill Emily in Alabaster Stones. But I think that was the right ending for both of them.

As a mother? A Basket of Reeds, where Scully gives William away. I can’t even reread it without a lump in my throat, man.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Tent of Shelter is fluffy and lovely gets a lot of love, and was inspired by a STUNNING manip by @avocadoave but I personally think In The Gale. It’s the one that, to me, feels the most like a grownup relationship of two people processing some trauma. I think that’s an ending that’s happy and also real - like “I don’t love being broken, but I can survive being broken with you.” Two abeyances that lean…

Foxfire for similar reasons. I real love that little story, which I wrote thanks to @perplexistan

I’m 43. I’ve been married for well over two decades and let me tell you that young love is a gift and mature love is a craft.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Some! And that’s really great too, that people read words I wrote and felt so passionately that they left me words about those feelings. What a strange but profound compliment!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do. PWP isn’t my personal taste so even though I wrote a LOT of smut for the old pornbattles at LJ I wanted the smut to still tell a story.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I can’t say it’s especially crazy, but Fern Hill is a Mulder/Stella Gibson crossover. There are a few little ficlets with XF/Silence of the Lambs crossovers in my Inbox Prompts series.

Oh fuck! Wait! I wrote a Fall/Hannibal/XF crossover called Anthemoessa where Stella, Scully, and Bedelia all meet. Okay that’s it. That wins.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Years ago. God, isn’t that sad? To need positive reinforcement that much?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! It was SUCH a compliment!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have - The Common Fate of All Things Rare

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Mr. Virgata and me. Followed by Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who literally invented the word. ❤️

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The Fisher King

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I do pretty good banter and my education makes me pretty good at the sciencey bits.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I get too lost in descriptions and I try too hard to be clever. I do my best to self edit but sometimes I reread things and I’m like oh my GOD SHUT YOUR PRETENTIOUS ASS UP.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I’ve done it for Bedelia and Hannibal in Italian. I’m not sure I understand the question?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

TXF, my one true love.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I don’t know that I have a favorite per se. I am most proud of the ones that challenged me to do something outside my comfort zone. Samson is one of mytop fives even though it’s Mulder/Diana. I think I did a nice job. I also wrote Pair of Aces/Double or Nothing which is Scully/Byers.

But I do really love the world of Petrichor and Singing of Mount Abora, and I like the cases.

Motherly love - Uzumaki Kushina

Don't know if anyone who has read this article has become a mother? I'm not a mother, I haven't had children yet so I don't know what motherhood is like for children. Every time I read or watched Naruto's birth, I cried because I felt sad for this family for not being able to live happily together. That fateful day Kushina went from a woman to a mother, a beautiful and sacred vocation

However, Kushina must not have expected that on the day she expected her son to be born, it was also the day that she and her husband died.

And what made me feel even more sad was to read the manga again when I saw Kushina's messages to Naruto before she left this world

As I read and watched this passage tears kept coming to my eyes, an indescribable sadness, how sad. I'm not a mother, I can't know the pain Kushina endured when she had to leave her baby and turn Naruto into a jinchuriki but I knew it definitely hurt.

But all I understood was sadness until I saw 2 videos on social media at which point I understood Kushina's feelings even though I am not a mother.

There was a girl who was pregnant but then she found out she had cancer, her family and husband were both very panicked but the girl was especially calm and only asked the doctor one question "I have cancer so is my baby affected?" and the doctor answered no. The girl replied calmly, it was okay.

Because of the cancer, she started treatment so she could prolong her life so she could deliver the baby. During her pregnancy, her treatment was painful, but she managed to overcome it for her little one, and she also prepared birthday presents for him year by year and filmed videos saying messages to her son, when her child grew up, Child could rewatch the footage.

As she neared her due date, the pain from the treatment made her unbearable, causing her to burst into sobs and tell her husband, "I don't want to die, I want to see my baby grow up healthy, I'm not comfortable leaving my baby in someone else's care," which is not what Kushina did before she died. with Naruto? That's why when Minato neutralized Edo Tensei, Naruto responded to Kushina's earlier instructions and told him not to worry about him

And the last line "Try to find someone like your mother" when I read this far, I just thought it was simply to find a strong girl like Kushina, but actually behind that sentence is very meaningful

In another story, there is an exchange program between musicians and students on the topic of songs composed by that musician. And there was a boy who asked the musician this one question Boy: I want to ask if the whole song is about a mother's love for her son, but one sentence that I really wonder about is, "There will be someone who loves you more than I love you", I want to understand what you meant when you wrote that sentence?

Musician: Haha, You think I wrote it wrong, right? Boy: I don't know who will love me more than my mother? Musician: Let me tell you, your mother is always the person who loves you the most, your mother will still love you the most in the future, your mother will always love you the most, that's what I'm sure of. But for your mother, in your mother's thoughts and in my thoughts for my son, your mother always hopes that someone will love her child more than she does. That sentence is only true in your mother's mind because your mother loves you too much and your mother knows one thing: your mother will not be able to go with you when you grow up. I also cannot go with my child when he grows up because I will get old and when I am no longer in this world, who will take care of my child?

With the two stories I told above, both of them are parents and those are the similar feelings of parents in those situations.

I finally understood that Kushina's statement was find someone like your mother, which means find someone who loves you like I love you, even loves you more than me. Kushina has become an instinctive mother who loves and protects Naruto unconditionally. Kushina knew she couldn't see Naruto grow up and become an adult, and at the same time placed the burden of becoming a jinchuriki on Naruto. Kushina understood the pain that Naruto was about to go through because she was also a Jinchuriki, she knew how lonely and sad that pain was until she met Minato and Kushina was very happy and grateful for that. So she also hopes that Naruto will also meet someone who loves him, someone who cares for him, someone who is willing to protect Naruto the way she is willing to protect her son from the Nine-Tails.

However, the person Naruto likes is not a girl but a boy. I read a sentence on a tumblr blog that I don't remember from someone who said "Except for Naruto's parents, no one in this world loves Naruto more than Sasuke." The biggest thing Kushina and Sasuke have in common is that they love Naruto unconditionally. Sasuke took care of Naruto, feeding him bentos at the cost of his ninja career. Worried about Naruto when he trained alone all night and didn't come home, and most importantly, he was willing to sacrifice his life for Naruto's smile without any regrets.Naruto and Sasuke are so happy because they found each other and shared their pain together

Sasuke is not a girl, but if she knew there was someone who loved Naruto unconditionally like that, Kushina would definitely be happy and reassured.

I read somewhere that Kishimoto had no intention of letting Naruto meet his parents again until he had a child. He knew he owed Naruto an apology and he decided to create two very emotional moments. allowing Naruto the opportunity to see his two most important relatives again.

A mother’s love will never end. It is there from beginning to end.

Hope everyone will also find the other half of your life, "soulmate" or "true love", someone who loves you unconditionally like Sasuke loves Naruto and Naruto loves Sasuke and even if you can't find that person, please always love yourself.

I was so sad thinking about Jasper putting all of his effort in making his frogs for the scouts and them not liking them.

So now is my head cannon than MH Jasper makes frogs for his foster kids and is happily stunned to find out they love them, for many is the first toy they have that is intended FOR THEM and apart for that is handmade so they know Jasper put effort in making them and they feel warm and fussy and loved.

YES HE MAKES EVERY FOSTER KID THEIR OWN SPECIAL FROG

Actually- and this is a personal anecdote- I'm from North Carolina and down there is a place called victory junction which is a camp for disabled and terminally ill children and their families. They have weekends scheduled out by need so like, cancer patients one weekend so they have staff prepped for that specifically, blind kids another for the same reason, etc, etc. and you don't pay for it; it's all charity stuff. And it's... Really great. It's really the only memory of a family vacation I've been on that wasnt also work. I didn't have to be caring for my brother, I didn't have to worry about my parents caring for my brother. We had a volunteer with us the whole weekend taking care of him so we could just like. Hang out. Do stuff. Got to do archery with my brother and my parents actually got to watch. That's just... Not what my family vacations were like.

Anyway point in being, every family got their own little cabin and every bed had a hand knit blanket donated by a community member along with a handmade bear and like. I really appreciated the bear, but my brother loooooved the bear. My bear eventually became his bear when his got a little too worn out and dirty because they were pretty similar. The bear was really special. So that's... Something I very much have in mind with his foster kid frogs.

How did TK take Gwyn’s death plus when did it happen and what was she like as a caregiver compared to Owen? His reaction to Owen’s cancer as well? TK probably struggled a lot with it and found it hard to deal with as well.

Does he sleep in a crib or something like that even when he is big since his littleness affects away he sleeps at home? Or does he have two beds at home? Does he have a baby monitor in his room?

Clothes, does TK prefer wearing lounge clothes like Kol such as jogging bottoms and a hoodie instead of little clothes. Preferring to be on the down low than show he is a little or not?

I bet he loves Buttercup a lot who probably sleeps in his room at home and do you think that they will get another dog? I would love to see the scene of where TK and Owen talk about Buttercup before he is shot.

Sorry about asking so many questions.

I love all these questions!

Ask me for headcanons on characters from my fandom list!

TK took Gwyn’s death hard and it attributed as part of his relapse. All of it was just too much and Alex was the tipping point. Gwyn was a great caregiver. She was always gentle and loving, but held up boundaries and rules like Owen. He went to them equally, because they both knew what he needed. Gwyn was his primary parent growing up, so he trusted her just as much as his dad.

TK took the cancer diagnosis hard because it came around the time Gwyn died and he was terrified of losing both his parents. He started acting out and refused to regress for a long time, which again, attributed to his relapse. TK was there for Owen and went to as many appointments as he could. Owen had to force him to regress a few times because he could tell it was killing him to keep it all in.

TK usually drops around 3 years old and at first didn’t have a crib but eventually Owen got him one because he kept climbing out of bed to play. Plus, he was paranoid about TK falling out of bed. TK can climb out of his crib, but usually doesn’t as he knows Owen doesn’t like it. He also sleeps in his dad’s bed a lot. That’s usually the reason why he’ll climb out, to go be with Owen.

His nursery:

That being said, he definitely has a baby monitor. Owen has a couple around the house too, so he can see TK when he’s cooking or otherwise busy. He’ll only use them when he’s regressed, outside the few times he’s nervous about TK being sick or sad. But TK is more than aware that they exist. Owen doesn’t keep secrets from him anymore after TK had a huge breakdown over him keeping the cancer secret. It’s important to both that they have trust. It’s the only way this works.

He switches it up when it comes to clothes. Usually, he doesn’t care and will wear toddler-like clothes. He likes jeans or sweats and a fun shirt. His Little pajamas are usually two piece with cartoon characters or animals. Similar to these!

Though he will occasionally wear one pieces, if he’s feeling young enough to not go to the bathroom. Owen prefers it, because TK can often decide he’s just over clothes and fling them everywhere and run around in his underwear or pull-up. (This is only at home, obviously haha)

TK loves Buttercup in both spaces. Buttercup is very sad that he can’t sleep in TK’s crib (and has 100% tried, by the little boy’s coaxing), so he’ll usually sleep next to it if he’s dropped. If he’s in his big boy bed or Owen’s bed, he’ll sleep in there. I don’t know if they’ll get another dog. One of the perks of Buttercup is he’s a certified fire dog. So, TK and Owen can bring him to work and not have to worry about him being home alone. They couldn’t do the same if they got another puppy. I’ll definitely write more with Buttercup! And maybe TK will get that lizard. I think Owen wouldn’t like it, but if TK promises to take care of him, he’ll allow it. 

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Happy Friday GPODers! I hope the first couple days of 2025 have treated you well. To get the year started on the right foot, we’re back in Nancy Heckler’s garden to see more of the tour Cherry Ong was treated to last fall. Nancy’s garden in Indianola, Washington is a wonderful collection of colorful and lush plantings woven together with an artful eye. If you’ve missed the first two parts in this series, you should absolutely go back and check those out (Part 1 and Part 2). Today we will be entering a new garden room known as Nancy’s Hideaway @nancy.heckler. The paths are narrow but filled with all kinds of treasures so be sure to look left, right, above and below. One of these is a fern table. I’ve been inspired by them after watching Richie Steffen’s videos (Check out a full, in-depth video from the Hardy Fern Foundation, here) and plan to make one for my own garden someday. Again Brocc welcoming you to our virtual tour. From bright and light to dark and glossy, Nancy has an incredible mix of just about every kind of foliage you can imagine. She also doesn’t miss any opportunity to add additional interest and art. This little bed is confined by an amazing fence of woven branches. An another example of a great foliage vignette like the ones we saw last week. All of these plants have similar color and shininess, but the vastly different textures and forms make the combination still incredibly interesting. As Cherry so perfectly describes above, the paths that lead to Nancy’s Hideaway are teeming with fascinating details. You can tell everything is added to Nancy’s garden with attention and meaning, not just her plants. From the stack of drift wood on the left, to antique watering can and bright red water pump. Nancy confides that this is a very sentimental piece made by a dear friend who died of cancer. What a delightful fern table! Here’s how to build one: Building a Fern Table with Richie Steffen Another immersive path, this one stepping stones that are even more beautiful this time of year with the added sprinkling of fallen leaves. I love that Nancy’s garden is very reminiscent of hiking trails I saw when I visited the Pacific Northwest in 2023, dense with plant life and tree cover. Her landscape is a fabulous reflection of the landscape that surrounds, with the added beauty of a gardener’s touch. So much of the foliage in Nancy’s garden is gloriously glossy. Even when not flowering, this rhododendron is a stand out. While we’ve seen a lot of the amazing vignettes that Nancy is able to create from grouping container plants together, she is also able to craft incredible combinations in a stand-alone pot. Without a single flower, she is able to thrill, fill, and spill with all kinds of glorious colors and textures. I’m not sure what I’m more envious of, Nancy’s incredible plant collection or who amazing assortment of containers! Anything growing from this stunning planter would become a focal point. And more shiny and bright foliage really makes this area glow. Lastly, another example of Nancy’s interesting garden art. In the last part of this series, Cherry showed off an example of the bird sculptures and art that can be found near each of Nancy’s garden gates. But this adorable trio of moss-covered skunks shows that she represents other animals throughout her space. Thank you again for sharing more of your visit to Nancy’s garden with us, Cherry!

Happy Friday GPODers! I hope the first couple days of 2025 have treated you well. To get the year started on the right foot, we’re back in Nancy Heckler’s garden to see more of the tour Cherry Ong was treated to last fall. Nancy’s garden in Indianola, Washington is a wonderful collection of colorful and lush plantings woven together with an artful eye. If you’ve missed the first two parts in this series, you should absolutely go back and check those out (Part 1 and Part 2). Today we will be entering a new garden room known as Nancy’s Hideaway @nancy.heckler. The paths are narrow but filled with all kinds of treasures so be sure to look left, right, above and below. One of these is a fern table. I’ve been inspired by them after watching Richie Steffen’s videos (Check out a full, in-depth video from the Hardy Fern Foundation, here) and plan to make one for my own garden someday. Again Brocc welcoming you to our virtual tour. From bright and light to dark and glossy, Nancy has an incredible mix of just about every kind of foliage you can imagine. She also doesn’t miss any opportunity to add additional interest and art. This little bed is confined by an amazing fence of woven branches. An another example of a great foliage vignette like the ones we saw last week. All of these plants have similar color and shininess, but the vastly different textures and forms make the combination still incredibly interesting. As Cherry so perfectly describes above, the paths that lead to Nancy’s Hideaway are teeming with fascinating details. You can tell everything is added to Nancy’s garden with attention and meaning, not just her plants. From the stack of drift wood on the left, to antique watering can and bright red water pump. Nancy confides that this is a very sentimental piece made by a dear friend who died of cancer. What a delightful fern table! Here’s how to build one: Building a Fern Table with Richie Steffen Another immersive path, this one stepping stones that are even more beautiful this time of year with the added sprinkling of fallen leaves. I love that Nancy’s garden is very reminiscent of hiking trails I saw when I visited the Pacific Northwest in 2023, dense with plant life and tree cover. Her landscape is a fabulous reflection of the landscape that surrounds, with the added beauty of a gardener’s touch. So much of the foliage in Nancy’s garden is gloriously glossy. Even when not flowering, this rhododendron is a stand out. While we’ve seen a lot of the amazing vignettes that Nancy is able to create from grouping container plants together, she is also able to craft incredible combinations in a stand-alone pot. Without a single flower, she is able to thrill, fill, and spill with all kinds of glorious colors and textures. I’m not sure what I’m more envious of, Nancy’s incredible plant collection or who amazing assortment of containers! Anything growing from this stunning planter would become a focal point. And more shiny and bright foliage really makes this area glow. Lastly, another example of Nancy’s interesting garden art. In the last part of this series, Cherry showed off an example of the bird sculptures and art that can be found near each of Nancy’s garden gates. But this adorable trio of moss-covered skunks shows that she represents other animals throughout her space. Thank you again for sharing more of your visit to Nancy’s garden with us, Cherry!

Happy Friday GPODers! I hope the first couple days of 2025 have treated you well. To get the year started on the right foot, we’re back in Nancy Heckler’s garden to see more of the tour Cherry Ong was treated to last fall. Nancy’s garden in Indianola, Washington is a wonderful collection of colorful and lush plantings woven together with an artful eye. If you’ve missed the first two parts in this series, you should absolutely go back and check those out (Part 1 and Part 2). Today we will be entering a new garden room known as Nancy’s Hideaway @nancy.heckler. The paths are narrow but filled with all kinds of treasures so be sure to look left, right, above and below. One of these is a fern table. I’ve been inspired by them after watching Richie Steffen’s videos (Check out a full, in-depth video from the Hardy Fern Foundation, here) and plan to make one for my own garden someday. Again Brocc welcoming you to our virtual tour. From bright and light to dark and glossy, Nancy has an incredible mix of just about every kind of foliage you can imagine. She also doesn’t miss any opportunity to add additional interest and art. This little bed is confined by an amazing fence of woven branches. An another example of a great foliage vignette like the ones we saw last week. All of these plants have similar color and shininess, but the vastly different textures and forms make the combination still incredibly interesting. As Cherry so perfectly describes above, the paths that lead to Nancy’s Hideaway are teeming with fascinating details. You can tell everything is added to Nancy’s garden with attention and meaning, not just her plants. From the stack of drift wood on the left, to antique watering can and bright red water pump. Nancy confides that this is a very sentimental piece made by a dear friend who died of cancer. What a delightful fern table! Here’s how to build one: Building a Fern Table with Richie Steffen Another immersive path, this one stepping stones that are even more beautiful this time of year with the added sprinkling of fallen leaves. I love that Nancy’s garden is very reminiscent of hiking trails I saw when I visited the Pacific Northwest in 2023, dense with plant life and tree cover. Her landscape is a fabulous reflection of the landscape that surrounds, with the added beauty of a gardener’s touch. So much of the foliage in Nancy’s garden is gloriously glossy. Even when not flowering, this rhododendron is a stand out. While we’ve seen a lot of the amazing vignettes that Nancy is able to create from grouping container plants together, she is also able to craft incredible combinations in a stand-alone pot. Without a single flower, she is able to thrill, fill, and spill with all kinds of glorious colors and textures. I’m not sure what I’m more envious of, Nancy’s incredible plant collection or who amazing assortment of containers! Anything growing from this stunning planter would become a focal point. And more shiny and bright foliage really makes this area glow. Lastly, another example of Nancy’s interesting garden art. In the last part of this series, Cherry showed off an example of the bird sculptures and art that can be found near each of Nancy’s garden gates. But this adorable trio of moss-covered skunks shows that she represents other animals throughout her space. Thank you again for sharing more of your visit to Nancy’s garden with us, Cherry! It’s been such an exciting garden to explore, and I’m sad that we only have one more submission in this series.   Have a garden you’d like to share? Have photos to share?
