#this one is DEFFS my new fave!!!

[safyresky]

Scrimbly Jacqueline 50/52: the long bacon store is one of Dite's FAVOURITE places 🤭🤭💙💗

@kscribbs sent me the meme on insta like. two months ago and FIRST OFF, post looking it up, HOW DID I MISS THIS ONE! Secondly, we are now two for two with old memes in these scrimbles, lmao!

The lesbian pride flag is Dite's favourite of the lgbtqia plus flags! She likes pink very very much, you see :)

Her winter jacket is based on this pin. Fun fact! Dite actually has a pinterest board! Not sure if I've ever shared it? I haven't updated it in YEARS lol, now all that shit's mixed into my TO DRAW tag which I will be attempting to tackle ah, next year, lol.

Poor Jacqueline. Can't even keep it together for five minutes when visited by her gf on the job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@carolmunson has a fic that pisses me off in the best way. Idk how to explain it but ive read it many times and still makes me mad and i swear thats a compliment. Im a sucker for their heartbreaking angst and i cant for as if 1.5 ❤️

@mypoisonedvine meet the munsons is by far one of my faves and i miss their eddie writing so fucken much.

Oldie but goody is @fairy-asian meet me in the hallway. Ugh. Ugh. So so sad.

Ahhhh the Winnie the pooh ride looks so cute and fun, and the pooh bear sounds the cutest, I have an Eeyore that stays on my bed.

I also love strawberry shortcake, I like the 2003/4 era of it. Literally last week I was telling my friend how for my next birthday I expect is all to dress like one of the characters lol. I plan to crochet the hats.

Same, I remember the excitement I'd get when we reached a new transformations and fairy form. I deff will send pics when I do floras, I'm not sure which transformation I'll do yet though.

Oof writers block is a bummer, I used to write a bit but just take your time. What do you do for work?. I'm currently on my break lol I work at a bakery.

15 questions about me!

@esme-viridian thank you for the tag my love!!

1- are you named after anyone?

kind of 😅 when my mom was pregnant with me she was listening to Love Line (idk if anyone will remember what that is) and there was a guy that called in that had my name and she liked it so much she just decided on it

2- when was the last time you cried?

about two days ago 😂 i don’t cry often, but i was so overwhelmed with being sick for the first time in 2 years and i was in so much pain and i didn’t really know what to do

3- do you have kids?

NO absolutely not. i don’t want to have kids of my own but when i’m older i’d like to adopt older kids out of the system as soon as i have the means to. even when i was younger i never really liked kids, i only liked babies because at least they slept most of the time 😅

4- do you use sarcasm a lot?

not really :p i never really have a use for it

5- what’s the first thing you notice about people?

their attitude. i can always tell when someone wants to come into a situation with a bad attitude and i do my best to avoid them because you’re not about to ruin my good time

6- what’s your eye color?

i guess it’s like a grey blue 🤷‍♀️

7- scary movies or happy endings?

both i guess :p i love scary movies, it’s been my forever special interest so i can’t really remember a time when i didn’t like scary movies, but i do enjoy a happy ending every now and then

8- any special talents?

i’m AMAZING at trivia, and i love going out to trivia nights :p we actually played a trivia game at home a few weeks ago and i’ve been given the title of ✨Smartest Person in the House✨ don’t ever underestimate the amount of useless facts i know

9- what are your hobbies?

writing obviously :p but i also love reading, thrifting, and i’ve just recently picked up cross stitching again :)

10- where were you born?

Midwest born and raised 😍 my family takes pride on being white trash

11- do you have any pets?

i’m not much of an animal person but at home i’ve got three chihuahuas, all of them are old and really needy so they’re super snuggly :p i still live at home so they’re technically my parents dogs but i guess they’re also mine

12- what sports do you play/have played?

when i was younger my mom tried to get me into tons of sports but i’ve never been a sports kid. she put me in soccer, swimming, horseback riding, tennis, badminton. i think it’s been about 5 years since i’ve played an actual sport 😅

13- how tall are you?

i think around 5ft4 last i checked but i’m about 5ft8 in my favorite platforms 🥰

14- favorite subject in school?

i always loves english, writing has always been a passion of mine wether it was fanfics or short stories or essays. my parents would always say it was math but just because i’m good at it doesn’t mean i like it 😂

15- dream job?

i mean my DREAM JOB dream job would probably be to open up a halloween themed candy store but i know i’m never going to be able to get there 😂 i’ve never really liked considering writing a job, as much as i would like it to be, but if i had to pick a second one i would probably say my dream job is to be a horror screenwriter

i’m going to tag @imagine-all-the-imagines @aidansloth @thatsthewaythechrissycrumbles @manyfandomsfanvergent and anyone else who would like to do this 🥰 no pressure of course!

[purplew]

modern mdzs hcs that have no substance whatsoever

wwx is a major conspiracy theoriest, like my man will question everything given the oportunity, and like everyone is just tired of his bs already except lwj (obv) and then at some point they start theorizing together and just imagine like one lan family dinner where lwj explains the flat earth theory to lqr with his dead pan face and lqr is just regretting ever letting his nephew out of the house

jyl buys jc and wwx like rlly cute and ugly socks that they cherish with everything they have, and just wear them all the time, she also got them pride ones

lwj unironically wearing crocs

jc knits when he's stressed. it started out w him wanting to do some cute baby clothes for jl and then he just started doing ugly sweaters for wwx and rlly intricate scarfs for jyl, and when jl grows up he also teaches him and they make little clothes for fairy and just quality time™

jyl and lwj cooking together pls

I feel like wwx definitely had a major hair dye phase in college, just the cheapest dye and a new color every month, his hair is low-key ruined now but lwj always conditions it and gives him oils and stuff

wangxian watch true crime documentaries together and then try to solve the murders, they do it monthly and they have one living room wall that's always full w police reports, maps, suspects idk

when wangxian started dating lwj got a pocket sized coloring book for wwx to use when he's anxious, sometimes he'll sit in the buss stop and do a monochrome flower other times he's in a cafe and just takes a small pencil pouch and goes off

jc and wwx went to a drag show drunk one time and rlly enjoyed it so they start doing it for halloween then for game nights and idk if there are any open mic drag shows but i feel like they'd deff go, and they're audience faves, rlly funny together just chaotic dumbass level off the charts, that's where they met mxy and wwx made him his protegé

lwj taught lsz how to play guitar and got him an electric one which wwx painted

lwj w gauges, he started stretching them when he was a senior in hs

when nhs comes over he braids wwx's hair, a different style everytime and they just talk shit while drinking mimosas

wn and lwj have a gaming rivalry, like one time wn was over and was playing mario kart w wwx and lwj comes in and he starts idk trying to help wwx and wwx is like why don't u try, and he does and wins and somewhere along the line he plays random games w wn and they both enjoy it but are competitive asf so they start counting wins

wwx has a massive record collection and his friends always get home like super rare ones when they travel and he just,,, his babies, also they're like every genre possible, i think he'd be a music snob but won't just settle for one type of music to obsess over

jc a kpop multi, nhs showed him some songs when they were in hs and it's been like his 'guilty pleasure' even tho everyone knows ab it, deff just does random kpop refrences on the daily, like one day he just tells lwj 'mAyBe iF yOU sTaNnEd LoOnA'

wangxian watch rlly bad horror movies and bet in which order the characters will die

wwx enjoys russian lit, has read all of dostoyevsky's works and most writers from that specific period of time

jgy has a pocket knife that he carries everywhere

lxc has a film camera collection and he bonds w wwx ab film photography and obscure photographers from the 90s

lwj hates modern art museums

wq tattooes wwx and he always passes out 5 minutes after they start

nhs and wwx learned french so they can bitch together in peace, jyl also knows it

lwj had a major latin phase in middle school and a mythology one, sometimes him and wwx just sit in bed and he tells him random myths or poems

junior quartet have a yt channel on which they used to post embarassing videos in middle school

jc and wwx were vine legends, like just imagine wwx playing the flute w his nose or some shit and jc just screaming tHIS IS WHY MOM DOESNT LOVE YOU, or tbh them on any kind of platform just bullying eo and middle schoolers, maybe they'd randomly find junior quartet's yt channel and react to it idk

nhs made like kinda ugly clay bracelets for wwx and jc when they were kids and they both still have them, wwx put it on his bag and jc has it as a key chain

jl tried to read self help books in hs but just got mad when the affirmations and stuff didn't work out

lsz and wwx bake together complicated deserts on saturdays and listen to european 00's pop

wwx does like a smudged eyeliner and that's it but lwj will have a 15 step skin care routine and like 3 types of highlighter

jzx always wears pretty silk scarfs and those big obnoxious designer sunglasses

wwx was a theater kid, and he'll just Shakespeare quote randomly

lwj and lxc love musicals and brodway, they see some live w nhs

nmj and his never ending metalhead phase

lsz enjoys foreign indie films, like french, norwegian, italian all the jazz

speaking of jazz, lwj,,, big mf fan

i think at some point yunmeng bros deff had a garage band, and they were actually pretty good and got quite famous, but couldn't pick a genre so that's why they 'split'

jyl and wwx watch Tim Burton movies as comfort

wn and lwj closet harry potter nerds

wq hates wearing jewlery but she has a thread bracelet lsz made her in kindergarten

[bisexual-horror-fan]

"Afternoon Delight" Stu Macher X AFAB! GN! Reader. NSFW.

Smutty one-shot with Stu, friends to lovers, spawned because I realized there is a stained glass window on the second floor of the Macher household and deciding that something needed to happen with that.

"You're Timing Couldn't Be Worse." Billy Loomis X GN! Reader. NSFW.

Billy calls the reader with intent of harm but it turns dirty instead! A classic set up.

Movie date night with Billy finally esclates to more.

"Are You Seriously Enjoying This?" Billy Loomis And Stu Macher X FEM! AFAB! Reader. Poly!Ghostface. NSFW.

Blanket fort date night get's steamy, what more do you need?

---

These are some great Ghostie boy hits of mine you might have missed! Hope these help satisfy some of those cravings but now for me to recc some other lovely people's stuff!

"Stalkers Tango" By @feelin-woozy Soggy always brings it, we know this but this one really stuck out as one to recc, deff darker, mind the warnings but I would be a total fucking idiot to not recc this when it is so good and so in character. Amazing Poly!Ghostface meal to be had.

"Ringing." By @ghosttease Now this is some of that good-good new shit. I am offically in love and obsessed. This is some high quality Poly!Ghostface content, hits some of my fave kinks, lots of teasing and denial, adore the characterization, just top notch stuff. Dying for more stuff from Norah already.

"Final Girl." Series by @looooooooomis If you haven't read this series yet you totally should it is fucking AMAZING I eagerly await every single update with a passionate fervor just Lex is fan-fucking-tastic. Sneaking around with Billy is so hot and the emotions hit hard as fuck too!

"Comfort." By @imbleedin-out Lily is amazing. I love Lily. This is the first Billy Loomis thing Lily has written and it took me out, I am so into this, not super long but just so RIGHT! I cannot wait for her to write him and Stu more.

"Kinktober Day 20: Video Call Sex." By @thirsting4slashers So B always brings it, we know this, they have posted a bunch of Poly!Ghostface goodness in their Kinktober event but I am gonna recc this one in particular because it is just so damn hot and totally them. Much love, big smooches to B.

"Obsession." By @urmomsinmybed Short. Sweet. To the point but I loved this, a real stand out, I just had to mention it! Billy being creepy and obsessed. Correct.

---

And those are some of my good, good Ghostie boy reccs! Have at it, go forth and enjoy these good bits of content from me and these LOVELY people!

[dement009]

Yall ive missed you too q0q since i cant answer all the replies in my prev post ill go here:

Ive been good! I kinda fell out of tumblr the begining of 2019 when i came back from the states and while i was recovering from physical and emotional turmoils i started using twitter waaaaay more; fell out of Lapidot as well... dont get me wrong i still adore the beans, just not as into drawing them as i used to yknow? They will forever be my children and if i wanna draw something gay ill 99% go to them lmao

Nowadays im drawing fulltime furry artwork (yes im a furry, yes i have a fursuit, no im not a zoophile, no i dont have sex in the expensive ass costume) and i couldnt be happier! Despite 2020 being an overall horrible year for everyone, i managed to thrive and grow! Got the ‘rona myself but thankfully it wasnt as bad as i thought itd be, considering a year ago i was fighting a very bad case of pneumonia.

I know the majority of the followers on this account are here for the SU and Lapidot art but i want to put this out there - i dont plan on doing more SU art, unless its commissioned work. That ofcourse doesnt mean that occasionally i wont draw them, it just wont be on the same scale as i used to. It will forever be in my heart but we all have to move on.

That being said i did draw 20 something drawings of a lapidot thing couple weeks ago ill probably post here as well. But yea as far as So Far goes, unless im being paid to work on it i dont think ill get to finish it; i do have what follows and the ending of it written and planned and all but i dont want to present it like a draft... hence why ive been putting off working on it; if i get the chance to i will.

My new fave ship is Lumity from the owl house so deff look forward to fanart of that when we get more of them in s2 👀✨

That turned into one hell of a long post i didnt intend lmao if you have any questions just shoot them my way here in the replies cus my inbox be burning

[allandoflimbo]

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

💖 What made you start writing?

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?

🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?

🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?

🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

💞 Who's your comfort character?

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?

🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?

✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

😅 - I’m not a big fan of Live Show lol. I don’t think I’ve even re read it since posting it. Shudders, lol.

😈 - Lol I mean, I like to unravel revelations in the story as the story progresses instead of revealing what’s going on right away. I guess maybe that’s kind of mean? Lol Idk

🎢 - take it back was wild

✨ no thanks lol 😭😂

💋 - LOVE. To quote Bucky in Ashens: “…first kisses are special…”

🎶 - Sometimes I do. Depends on my mood and the scene. Sometimes I need complete silence. For the latest project I’m working on I’ve been listening to a lot of late 2000s/2010s stuff, primarily Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis

🛠 - I keep my writing on my MacBook and I use either pages or scrivener

⛔ - Forbidden Fruit which was a Steve/Reader/Bucky love triangle fic.

🍦 - I think my new one I’m working on might be the sweet one.

🌞 - not really. My energy to write comes in spurts. Can be early in the morning, can be at 3pm, or even late at night.

💖 - my crazy imagination brewing at 7 years old.

💌 - I’ll be honest, I love love positive comments obviously but because I am my own worst critic, I never feel deserving of it and/or I never know how to properly respond and convey my love and appreciation for the support. In regards to feedback, I love it, because it’s gotten me to where I am. I still don’t think I’m the best writer right now, but when I tell you I was terrible at 13, I mean I was TERRIBLE. And I got a lot of criticism and feedback at the time and a lot of it hurt deeply BUT it helped me a lot. I always applied every criticism I got. 15 years later and I still have a lot to learn. Writing isn’t something you learn overnight, you are always learning to be better.

❌ - Incest. No thanks.

🧐 - Depends on the story.

🎃 - I’ve never done a holiday fic before. I think a Christmas one is very cozy.

🎯 - All the time! My readers are extremely intelligent and logical lol. They’ve been pretty spot on with most of mine.

🎨 - I love fan art!!! I wish I got more :( I’ve only ever gotten one.

🦅 - OUTLINE. Always.

💞 - my comfort character deff has to be Bucky. I love him soo much. Bucky or Steve.

🤩 - my fave character to write….I’m not sure. I have to get back to this one. But I would say the same answer as above for now.

😬 - All of them lol. I’m very like vanilla and innocent in person so if they found out about the subject matters I write, I think they would be very surprised. I don’t think I’m anything like what I write at all. But that’s one of the fun parts about writing.

🎉 - having at least the first 100 words written. Doesn’t even have to be posted. Don’t be hard on yourself.

✅ - a lot of verbal fighting. I just can’t help it. I love writing those scenes.

🤯 - probably action/fight sequences. I’ve never written them much. I think the fight with Ashen and Reader in Ashens is probably the only one I’ve ever written and it’s not even a lot of action. I applaud writers who can write those.

💔 - all of them probably but mostly Break Me. Bucky and Reader sleep together after Steve dies.

[charnelhouse]

I’m not that big of a marvel fan but I watch the movies because it’s a major part of culture and I like to be involved lol. Like I haven’t seen all the movies from the previous phases (ragnarok and black panther are two that I really like)? but I’ve accidentally kept up with phase 4 mainly because Shang chi was like one of the first big new movies to have a theater release (due to pandemic closing things and started to reopen last year) and then decided to just keep up with them all (not really the shows, just moonknight for Oscar 😙 and WandaVision bc the style looked cool and it was!). One thing I’ve noticed though, is that I used to HATE how the previous phases were so connected like most of the movies tied to one another bc I felt like that’s too much work for the movies and I still feel that too much connection to several movies/shows can be a negative. BUT with these recent additions, I WISH there was SOMETHING by now that would tie them together? Because there hasn’t been anything yet?? I thought we’d get a glimpse of spiderman in MoM because? why not?? and Like I know ppl hate on eternals (it’s my fave this phase tbh) BUT I thought their ~villain is the new big bad guy like thanos was. how has no one acknowledged the giant robot thing hovering over earth??? feels like that should have been acknowledge in SOMETHING by now?? and if that’s not the main villain then can we please get a hint as to WHO it is? And another thing, the movies this round have not been that good? at all? love and thunder was such a drag I almost fell asleep.

Deff agree with your points. I genuinely loved Wandavision because it was SO different from the usual MCU formula.

People are saying Doctor Doom but idk. It may be Secret Wars also.

I wonder if they’ll announce stuff at comic con

Interview with Elizabeth Beals

Here we are at the end, our final interview! Fittingly, we're capping it off with Elizabeth Beals, the other long standing member who has stuck around since Square Carousel's very beginning. While Elizabeth's signature style has remained instantly recognizable from Challenge 1 through Challenge 143 and counting, her skills have undoubtedly blossomed over the past decade. Today, we're catching up with our resident long haul Square Carousel member, admin, and comics professional, Elizabeth Beals!

Emma Frost

Q: Even though your art style is beautifully consistent, your work still stays fresh with each new challenge. What are the biggest aesthetic changes you notice in your work when you compare your most recent pieces to your graduation portfolio?

A: I haven’t looked at my graduation portfolio in a hot minute, it’s pretty wild seeing how far I have come. I’ve gotten better at compositions/ I’ve leaned into cooler, more saturated palettes/ have a better use of textures/ and I also don’t force myself to create a full bleed illustration if it’s not completely necessary to get the story across.

Elizabeth’s workspace

Q: Has your art making process changed at all during your post college years?

 A: Oh yeah, definitely!

In college I would thumbnail/ flesh out the comp at scale with normal mechanical pencil/ ink with a 005 micron/ erase the under drawing/ scan in the piece/ clean up in Photoshop/ then color until completion. 

Whereas I now thumbnail/ scan in the one I like/ format and print it out at a larger scale (in light blue)/ go back over the print with a blue pencil to refine details/ ‘ink’ it with a extra fine mechanical pencil/ scan it back in/ clean up in photoshop/ and then color until completion. 

And if we want to do an even deeper dive we can look at the ‘Color until Completion’ portion.

In college I would create a top layer, which was always the scan/line art set to multiply, and then I would place the coloring layers beneath it. I was just getting into textures and color holds so they were pretty crude but it was nice that I was still fussing with them.

I currently use the same process as a base but I’ve also started painting on top of the line art (like, A LOT), using overlays, adjustments, effects, and more.

Glitter Hearts

Q: What's been your favorite professional project to work on?

A: Mmmmm, I think this one’s a tie for me, the first one would be my cover run on Star Trek: TNG - Terra Incognita. It was my first cover run and the writers/ editors I got to work with were a complete and total dream. They whipped up some pretty fun concepts and I really got to stretch my art muscles for it. Plus the Ice cream I designed for issue one got worked into the story, so having a cannon ice cream design is pretty dang neat. The second would be my first OGN, Virtually Yours, with writer Jeremy Holt! It’s been a project that we’ve had waiting in the wings since 2015 and got to revamp for ComiXology Originals in 2020. It was the largest project I’ve ever worked on and it was such a tough/ joyous/ and complete learning experience for me. I was glad to have an amazing team of people to work with and you should deff check it out if you haven’t already ;D
  [Link to Virtually Yours on Comixology]

Virtually Yours cover

Q: Any non-art hobbies?

A: Baking / Cooking/ Trying out new recipes! *Chef’s Kiss* Just chilling outside in general/ soaking up some sun ( as a former So. Cal girl I miss the high/ dry heat.) Binge watching trash T.V.

Q: Tea, coffee, or hot chocolate?

A: I love all three dearly but coffee wins, hands down.

Q: What's a career goal you have for the next decade?

A: Pretty broad but I would love to get to a place where I become less dependent on private/ personal commissions and focus more on Comic Covers and Pin-up work. 

She Hulk

Q: Do you have a favorite superhero? A: Short answer, no.
 However, I can provide a short list of some of my faves: Jubilee, Storm, Rogue, Spider-Man, Anya Corazon (Spider-Girl), Spider-Gwen, Mystique, and I’m gunna end it there before I just keep rambling.

Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about you or your work?

A: One fun thing about me/ my work is that my love of drawing hair came from wanting to create Cammy White (Street Fighter) fan art. With braids as long as her’s you gotta take your time and learn to draw them right! XD

Q: While working, do you prefer to watch tv, movies, listen to music, or sit in silence? Any recommendations for background media?

A: Definitely a TV series or movie, preferably something I’ve already seen (less potential to distract me). I always end up falling back on older shows like Murder She Wrote or Midsomer Murders, basically anything with a long syndication. When I was working on Virtually Yours though I would have HBO’s Gentleman Jack on. It’s a newer series with only one season but it served as a good timer/ work schedule for me.

Star Trek TNG: Terra Incognita (issue 6)

Q: If you could choose one character from the Star Trek universe to befriend, who would it be and why? A: To avoid getting too crazy, I think I’m gunna limit myself to TNG (plus I have the most knowledge of that series) and go with Guinan. She’s wise beyond her years (if you could believe that), funny, empathetic, resourceful, and makes a mean drink! And not to break the 4th wall or anything, but it’s freakin’ Whoopi Goldberg!!! ;D

Elizabeth herself

Q: Excellent choice! Anything else you would like the readers to know?

A: Just that y’all are fantastic and we appreciate all the love and support you’ve shown us over that last 10 years! Thanks for letting us go out on a high note!

P.S. Stay safe. Stay healthy. And get vaccinated <3

You heard her folks! Thanks so much to Elizabeth for sharing her answers, and to you, dear readers, for getting to know us all at the Square Carousel Collective these past years.  Check out Elizabeth’s website, and follow her on Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram for fresh art as soon as it drops!

Highlights of today’s writing:

—wips: elricest//smut, yjh//regression, izushie//misunderstanding, amesia!al, homunculi!al, hankim//cupcake, yhk//stupidity au, sanghee/2nd scenario, hmokdj//epilogue, samrowena//distant lights

— started a ed/al smut wips which is entirely discord fault. I saw the flood of fanart, and got inspired :p

— scrapped the initial idea I had for the yjh fic because that did not spark joy, I mean. it was a cool idea but I just wanted more. so!! 1863!yjh & 1863!hsy fic???

my brain process: kdj ends up in another turn, instead of 3th one. nah, kdj is an avatar of demon salvation, where 51 splits himself further because while watching yjh...he remembers the time where he was beside him, and is frustrated by how powerless he is. but his avatar doesn’t know it’s avatar and remembers people that don’t remember him — in this worldline, ysa doesn’t have a colleague named kdj. the avatar thinks he regressed or smth idk.

that idea is v cool but. i have seen so much joongdok stuff and that I wanted something else for this wip. so uh. I was like. what if instead of kdj, it’s someone else. torn between jhw and hsy, but then went with hsy. because. ohhh. 1863!hsy. and since I thought the beginning I wrote was a nice build up to that.

didn’t actually write it into the wip yet though —expect a lil thing — so I don’t know if that’ll change. I need to reread through the 1863 arc to like know what I am doing lol. I vaguely remember that arc. (Maybe I’ll actually do 1863!yjh/1863!lhs or 1863!yjh/kdj which I am hopelessly in love with. my fave version of dokhyuk tbh. or maybe even go for OT3. But if I do that, the ship stuff will probs be implied instead y’know...)

— because of the writer ask things, I made like bits of edits and stuff to the izushie misunderstanding wip, the homuncli!al one, amnesia!al & truth one. that was good because lol I don’t think I would’ve made those changes otherwise or noticed those stuff. makes me wanna properly go through them and do edits.

— +24 words on the hankim wip where they are being actual kids. so happyyy I at least WROTE something. because I really like this wip. but undecided on what it’s actually about so it’s just been. floating in my docs. the 24 may...seem like a short progression but it’s actually lot of me. since now I know how to move forward with it, and got more better idea of what’s the story about.

— +12 words on the height of stupidity au, yhk version. not much but it’s SOMETHING. I love this au soo much and want to actually get to the drama parts so badly but urgh it’s just this EXPOSITION that’s killing me. maybe I should re-write the whole thing in a new doc and see if that helps

— +352 to the sanghee fic. like wow, I am on FIRE with this one. its like 1k, which. I didn’t expect at all. I’ll deff go back and edit a lot (since I haven’t even edited anything yet) but I am just writing and getting like the whole vague-plot and idea all down before doing any of that.

— +62 words to Hmo/Kdj epilogue fic. I have honestly have no idea on what I am doing in this one. Just vague ideas. But I really like it, and still so happy about doing this ship because YES.

— holy heckk. I edited my samrowena wip???? I got rowena feels and remembered this existed. AND I THINK I MIGHT FINISH IT SOON?? I finallyyyy worked through the part that’s been doing me headaches and cleaned it up. 🎉 So, so happyyyy about that. Feels like a weight had been lifted lol.

Instructions: Always repost with the rules, answer the 11 random questions left for you and leave 11 more for the people you tag!

TAGGED BY: @ravusnightblossom (thanks boo!) 

TAGGING: I can’t possibly think of 11 questions so if you wanna just redo these ones go for it? lol 

MY QUESTIONS TO ANSWER

1.  What to you prefer while writing? Silence? Television? Music? If it’s television or music, what would be playing?    

Music. I can’t write with anything else going on in he background, including my partner talking while playing games etc. Too much noise stimulation and I get overstimulated and can’t do anything and feel like I want to die. So I have music playing all the time when I’m on my PC, which can range from death metal to uh... Disney songs, so yeah. 

2. What is something specific that you always look for in your writing partners? 

Outside of the ability to communicate (because I love getting to know the person behind the muse), I would say simple compatability and chemistry between our writing. I generally don’t write with those who only do one paragraph or one line. I don’t mind doing banter threads and going back and forth with small paras and one liners, but I also want to read about how your muse feels, acts and reacts. The core of our writing I want to be a story, not a script.   

3. What is your favourite season of the year and why?  

Autumn. I love when it begins to get colder, the days still pleasant but the night times/morning nice and cold. I used to think winter, but the older I get, the less my body enjoys long periods of dark cold lol. 

4. How many blogs do you maintain across Tumblr? Do you roleplay on any other sites?  

I have Kaaras’ (here), my multi and just my personal one. I don’t RP anywhere else, unfortunately. I have found Tumblr to be the easiest and best place for RP. 

5. Tell me your favourite food. Least favourite food?

Chocolaaaaate. I can’t live without it >: Other than that, probably hot chips or sushi :) My least favourite is broad beans *voms* 

6. Leave some kind words about one of your mutuals here! Maybe you’ll make someone’s day brighter or help others find a new writing partner!  

Well can I say it about you, Fox (who tagged me) :P You’re amazing and a pure delight to interact with and write with. I love that you have so much muse for so many amazing characters, and you’re also willing to spread that love with your multitude of AU’s so everyone can be comfortable Rping with them. You’re just a treasure to have here <3 and one of my fave people. 

7. Do you have a favourite ship that you currently write?  

Aaaaallll of my ships here with Kaaras. They all mean so much to me (and him ofc). I also really like over on my multi Iggy x Noct, Jaime x Jon, Jaime x Sandor.

8. Is there a character that you deeply wish you had a chance to write with one of your own? If so, who and why?

I’m happy for Kaaras to interact with pretty much anyone and everyone. I can’t think of any one character in particular atm that I’d REALLY love to write with. I’m v tired.

9. Pets! Do you have any pets? Bonus points if you send me pictures of them!  

My birb, we call him Stinky (even tho he stinks good like feather fluffs). He’s a galah. I’m hoping to get a green cheek conure friend for him in the future though. I would love to get a cat, but my partner is allergic, so I’m deffs interested in a Russian blue, it’s just a matter of finding any around the area, and having the money. 

10. What’s your definition of a perfect self care day for yourself?  

Chilling, playing video games, eating fatty food lol, probably watching a movie with my partner. 

11. If you could recommend a book or television show to anyone reading this, what would it be? 

I’ll cheat and say A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones (since it’s both lol). The books are amazing. I’m only part way through them, but they’re very good books! But I also recommend the series because some characters were better portrayed in the series than the books (especially some of the women...) and vice versa. 

Other books, I really like Deadly Web by Barbara Nadel, anything to do with the Alien series (there’s so many books!), The Simple Art of Not Giving a Fuck was a brilliant and enlightening read also.

ULT GROUP TAG GAME

Tagged by: the one, the only, the always gorgeous @randombtsprincessa

I really wanted to choose another group bc I already read some of the asks..... but ya know bts is my first and ultimate fave of all time so.... ITS BTS TIME!

1. Who was your first bias?

I was an OT7 stan! I just couldn't choose!

2. Who is your bias now?

With much help from my friend we came to the conclusion that Yoongi/suga is my bias. It was pretty obvious tbh, it just took me a while to acknowledge 🤣

3. What was the first MV you watched by them?

I'm not really sure but I think it was mic drop (Japanese ver.) Or BS&T (also Japanse ver.). Those were my religion! I watched it on an music app on my TV and they only had the Japanese versions of like 4 songs...

4. What’s your favourite MV?

DEFF Blood, Sweat & Tears! That MV was and still is, so ahead of it's time

5. If you could listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?

ARGH!!! That's such a hard question... okay I'll narrow it down! Dimple, House of cards, Home and Telepathy! There are so much more but I narrowed it down quite well 😅

6. Who would you want to see them collab with?

I don't know tbh.... I just love them on their own! It's always a pleasant surprise when they do have collabs and I love it! But maybe Billie Eilish or another kpop group, that'd be cool!

7. What (MV) concept do you want to see them do?

KSKDKDKDKWK They've done so many things already! And they vary so much. I did like BS&T very much so maybe more mythology stuff. BUT tbh I don't think that fits them anymore they've grown so much

8. Have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?

SKSKSKSKSKW LOTS PROBABLY LMAO! I don't remember them except one! But that was because it felt so real! When I woke up I had to do a double take and I was so confused as to were I was and if I actually was alone in my room!

9. If you could spend the day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?

I would love to hang out with either Joon or Kook! Or both! With joon I'd love to go and explore, go to some museums or art galleries, maybe go cycling! I mean I am a Dutch person and we ride our bikes everywhere, everyday hahahaha. With kook it's either go on an adventure, do cool stuff like skydiving or some other cool adventures stuff or keep it on the down low and like play video games or go to an arcade or something😊

10. Which member do you think you would get on with best?

Aaahhh that's a hard question because I'm kind of a difficult person I guess. I want to say Jungkook because we're the closest in age (there's a 3 year gap which isn't that much and makes me believe we should be more on the same wave length) but I actually think it's either Hobi or Tae! Because I'm a really introverted person I need someone who will take me out of my comfort zone, but won't push it that much. Someone that'll make me feel like I belong. I'm very people shy and need at least 1 person that makes me feel comfortable in a group and I think it's either one of them! Idk what do you guys think?

11. Which member do you think you would argue with?

For some reason I think it would be Jimin? Idk why tho... lmao. I don't like arguing, I tend to avoid conflict so I don't really see myself arguing with someone.... but on the other hand like Jimin just popped up in my head when I thought about it so....🥴

12. If you had to let one member scroll through you tumblr, who would it be?

Ehhh... yeah like no... don't come near my tumblr, any of you... I feel like anyone of them would just look at me like I'm crazy 🥲 that's never gonna happen I just.... NO.... you guys tell me what the safest option would be bc I.... no just no

Tagging: @ssugadaddyy, @lucid-mins, @http-je0n, @tkklip, @taevolucion, @kittylefayy, @an-annyeoing-writer, @oheyura and anyone who sees it! Don't feel pressured to do so though, just have fun.

I saw a lot of new peeps in my followers list, I'm gonna be honest... I wanted to tagg yall but I'm scared you wouldn't like it 😅 so if you do want a tag next time hit me up, bc my anxious ass won't try lmao

[pxrxmoore]

4. first fandom you ever joined? what was it like? on what platform did it happen? paramore was the first band i was a massive fan of but i didnt rly get into the fandom ig i just was my own lil bubble of pmore. i had a massive kpop phase when i was like 13 and my fave band was UKiss - i joined a forum (cannot remember what it’s called rn) and met a few people thru that! i met this rly sweet girl and we used to message every day and we like designed our own merch ackskrkr so ig that must’ve been my first fandom! i also taught myself basic korean and this is gonna sound Very Weird but instead of like knowing celebs zodiac signs it was rly common to know blood types like it was kind of the same deal apparently ur blood type says a lot about ur personality ajxjkskf so i knew like kpop idols blood types ajsjjfjjcjfjjf ahhhhhh so wild

5. what are your sun, moon and rising signs, and do you think they make sense in relation to how you know yourself? aries sun, leo moon, cancer rising - i am an absolute disgrace of an aries LMAO i do not fit my sun sign in the slightest its the complete opposite of me, leo is kinda similar tbh i feel like its kinda close to aries? so yeah i dont fit those at all. ig i kind of am more cancer bc im emotional as all hell LOL but yeah i never put a lot of thought into my signs for a rly long time bc i always felt they were a completely wrong description of me

6. if you write and/or read fiction (original or fanfiction), do the tropes/plots/character types you typically seek out to read and/or write about reflect something about you as a being or how you see the world? i don’t write but uhhh i usually go for like hurt/comfort which??? ig i could relate to me LMAO how emo 😌 i’m not sure tbh, i deff don’t feel the characters i read reflect anything about me?? tbh i have never rly thought about this thats super interesting.... i feel like i love a good angsty fic but it has to have a happy ending asdksnidfg and im a pretty emo person but like ig im tryna be hopeful in the end?? so maybe?? yeah ig its how i would see the world!

7. what is the hardest obstacle you’ve had to overcome so far in life? holy shit uhhhhhhh man thts a tough one but idk if i wanna think about it in too much detail tbh 😌 ig recently i spoke to a dr about my mental health after years of pretending i wasnt depressed so 🤷‍♀️

8. what is your all time favourite song(s)? brighter by paramore - first song i fell in love with by them and ive been hooked ever since. before i listened to them i only listened to chart music lmfao literally had never listened to anything else and then after listening to paramore i started listening to rock/pop punk music and discovered all the bands that i listen to now!

9. what do you look for in a person you wanna keep in your life, be it a friend or a romantic partner or anything in between? hm ig recently ive realised its gotta be someone who has the same kinds views and values as me (i mean not down to a t but like generally the same kinda views and like respect for others u know) uhh someone i feel comfortable around to act my true chaotic self 😌✌️and also comfortable to know we can both talk about anything with no judgement no matter what it is. but also someone that respects like having seperate lives from each other? like not needing to be in each others pockets and knowing even if it’s been a lil while u can still message and it’s like no time has passed

10. this is a bit of a difficult one, but have you ever had a moment of clarity, a conversation with someone that made you go “oh!”, or anything along those lines? ooh i mean in 2018 i was working an office job in engineering and had a moment of like wow ive always wanted to work in events and especially live music and ive wanted to since i was like 13 and here i am 10 years later still considering that as a potential career path so ig it means something pretty significant and i decided to leave my perm job last year and go temp but then. yeah. this year happened so 🥴🤷‍♀️
