#oosoot snippets#out of sight out of time#this might be the only snippet of chapter three despite some of my fav scenes being in this chapter#i dont wanna spoil everything hehe#i did some research for this scene and from what i could figure out this was a point in time where romans were anti trousers#i did read some soldiers up north wore them to stay awarm but.#juvenal is very anti pants. where is a tunic! give him a tunic now!#if he wasnt going out hes stubborn enough to just not wear pants around the house#one. because it upsets vaughn and hes petty. two. because hes stubborn#i miiiiiight post vaughns Discovery later? the thing that makes him go âok emergency room timeâ#because he does some research online and he finds something and hes like holy fucking shit?????#and i think its funny but also i dont wanna spoil too muchâŚ.. hmmm will think on it#in the original draft it was âcock and balls on full displayâ btw#BTW. VAUGHN DOESNT NOTICE IT BECAUSE HES TOO FOCUSED ON NOT LOOKING#BUT JUVENAL HAS A HUUUUGE FUCKING DONG#THAT THANG IS A WEAPON#hes very very VERY embarrassed about it too#back in rome small penises were associated positively and large ones were like. very negative#which is why statues have small peens#juvenal has a big dick and has a complex about it. his cock shame <3

1. How long ago did you start reading fanfiction? Writing fanfiction?
The first fanfiction i read was for The Lunar Chronicles when I was like 11?? and it was 100% on accident and it scarred me because it was a hardcore porn one with a period kink and i was like WHAT IS THIS??? OH MY GOD???? LMAOOOOO i didnât pick it back up until i was 13-14 and really got into the Fairy Tail fandom. I still reread my favorites on ff.net cause i love them.Â
As for writing, I wrote a horrible, terrible x-men fanfiction when I was twelve. (my friend still brings it up and REFUSES to delete it so it still gets comments and views, that shit HAUNTS ME ELE.) then tried again for Fairy Tail, posted like two chapters before taking it down cause i wasnât really feeling it. And then I posted The Intimacy Of Being Understood and here we are.Â
4. Link your three favorite fics right now.
OMGG okokÂ
@murd3rm1ttens âs The Problem How Time Works IF YOU HAVENT READ THIS YOU GUYS NEED TO HOP ON IT ASAP. MITTENâS WRITING SO SO SO SO GOOD. SAKURA AND INO ARE TOTAL BADASSES. KAKASHI IS A SIMPPPP. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD.Â
@mouseymightymarvellous âs We Were Screaming In Color (Only A Possibility) yes, yes I KNOW. i always point into mouseyâs direction but i WILL always advocate that everyone reads her fics, theyâre literally so beautiful???? i just happen to be rereading WWSIN rnÂ

fuck i have more than three but also check out @ambivalens999Â âs Masks
i do wanna make a fic rec thing where i just rav about my favs,,, might do that later or sum
5. What are your fanfic pet peeves? Do they have a huge effect on whether or not you decide to read something?
Omniscient third person. I donât like it. Like I can understand that it can be a little hard to stay in one personâs perspective but, in my opinion, if you can, it shows how disciplined you are as a writer. Plus, i just get so confused when I go from Aâs thoughts to suddenly what B is thinking about A.Â
When writers use â â instead of â â. When writers put thoughts in â â instead of just italicizing them. Itâs small things but like they just bother me sO MUCH. most of the time i can ignore it and try to enjoy but other times i just dip.Â
9. Tag 3 fic writers you think are underrated/unknown in the fandom/fanfiction community.
@espoir-et-reves !!!!! THEIR SHISAKU FICS ARE SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. And they have a warring states one going on THAT I AM SO OBSESSED WITH.Â
@writer168 idk if theyâre really âunderratedâ but THEY HAVE SUCH GREAT FICS ON AO3. Like theres an AU with sakura, kiba, and shino that i reread constantly because it just. is. so. fucking. GOOD. and they posted a new one that iâm YELLING about.Â
@eggtoasties okay they only have 2 in the naruto fandom (one shisaku which is still ongoing) BUT THEIR WRITING STYLE IS SO NICE?? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I still go back and reread their shikasaku one cause UGH i canât get enough. I love it.Â
10. Whatâs your favorite fandom, pairing, or character to read fic for?
Fandoms: Naruto, Soul Eater, The Old Guard, ATLA
Parings: KakaSaku/ShikaSaku/ShiSaku/MultiSaku, SoMa, Joe X Nicky, Zukka
Character: SAKURA. I will read anything with Sakura as the main character and her being a fuckin badass or becoming a badass. I love her.
17. How obsessively do you sit and stare at your fic after youâve just posted and wait for feedback?
aha.. haha.. well. I check my email like three times an hour. its the first thing i check in the mornings too. Iâm literally a whore for praise and literally eat up feedback like its going out of style. I also reread a lot of my stuff because i make so many mistakes and spelling errors, or the spacing is weird oR SOMETHING. plus, literally any and all comments make my day, i go back and reread them cause they just make me feel so tingly and warm like âwow. this person enjoyed the fic/my writing enough to tell me. thats HUGE!â
23. Whatâs your absolute favorite trope to write?
Angry, feral, bloodied, morally gray women. They arenât bad guys, theyâre probably the good guy, but that doesnât mean they cant be fucking raging at the world with raw knuckles and blood on their teeth. I just love an angry woman who struggles with her emotions and just has so much inner conflict but that doesnât take away from her character or badassery, it adds to it.Â
24. Whatâs a trope that youâd like to never hear about as long as you live, let alone write?
The fake dating or miscommunication troupe. LIKE GUYS JUST TALK. AND TELL EACH OTHER OMFG. the entire like obliviousness of ânah they dont like meâ while the They holds their hand and kisses their cheek. MOFO WHAT. it makes me so impatient and like mad HAAHHAHA. its probably because iâm a pretty confrontational person so seeing stuff like that just âcmon bro, USE YO HEAD.â
28. How do you deal with writing pressure (ie: pressure to update, negative comments, deadlines, etc)?
I have yet to receive a negative comment! Which i was really surprised about tbh. As for deadlines or pressure to update, i just kind of do whatever. I do set goals, but i set them flexible enough that hey, if i canât do it, thatâs okay.Â
I have a lot of mini goals, like âi want to write this chapter and get it done this weekâ and then the large goal is âFINISH BY END OF MAYâ so i have time.Â
Actually, now that I think on it, the entire pressure to update thing is probably why iâm waiting until I have all of OL&W written to post it weekly,, cause well. I wouldnât wanna leave you guys waiting as I tried to write and work out the next chapters and stuff, you know?
30. Post a snippet from your current WIP without context - no more than 300 words.
AAAAAA YOU KNOW I LOVE THESE AHAHAHAH
Have you seen the way the dead dance, World Breaker? They roar, half mad and starving. Do you not wish, do you not hope to see them twist and bend and dance to your will?
Shikamaru snarls, looking behind his shoulders to where his Shadows lay. âPatience.â He spits. âIs of the essence, Things of Ancient. Know your place as the dark you are.â
34. How much of yourself and your life experiences do you put into your writing? What do you think your readersâ image of you is?
None of my experiences match up to anything I write tbh,,, probably the only thing that is me in my writing is maybe the emotional turmoil? Iâm pretty emotionally and mentally mature because from a pretty young age i started forming my own opinions, started looking into the world around us and being like âdude what the fuck this is not what disney advertisedâ. Then i started talking (read: arguing and debating) with my dad about a lot of it. So, like emotions are kind of hard for me. Like iâm pretty good at controlling them or understanding them, but still. idk its hard to explain ig.
Like the weight of stress, the anger, the sadness. Itâs kind of therapeutic to write. Cause i donât know how to put those feelings to verbal words so writing them really helps.Â
As for my readersâ image? Probably like some kind of hunched over figure typing away in the dark with a maniacal grin on their face. I honestly donât know AHHAHAHA but it is fun to think about. I think theyâd see me as someone with potential but a lot of room to grow and someone who is imperfect but in a charming way LMAOOOO
38. What does your writing process look like? How chaotic is it on a scale of 1 (very tame) to 10 (you canât handle this kind of chaos)?
Iâm gonna be real honest. Its probably like a 2. Iâm a bit of a control freak so I almost always go in chronological order, my writing is pretty linear. Unless, i get bored and jump to one of my fav parts. It's pretty much i sit down, i open the doc, read over my notes and just start writing.Â
Itâs a little boring to explain AHAHAHA but once i get into the groove of things its really fucking great, I can like feel myself in the world, I can feel what i want the characters to, i love it. I catch myself mouthing the words as i type too, which i find hilarious.
39. Whatâs something about your writing that you pride yourself on?
I rather like how raw my writing is sometimes. Which might sound really vain, but i do like the way i word things or describe things. I love juxtaposition and repetition, or making a good ole circle back to some minute detail that wouldnât stand out until i repeat it at the end and youâre like âomgâ AHAHAHAHA.
Like those little poetic snippets or certain wording i just sit back and go âdamn thats kinda good nadia! go you!â HAHAHA Â
40. How did you come up with the idea for The Intimacy Of Being Understood?
AAAAA this fic is like my first child, my pride and joy LMAO
so the idea initially came when i was reading some fic, idk if it was even naruto, but i was like âi don't like this, but i do like the rain symbolism.â And I knew i wanted to write something kind of slow paced, something a little sad and angsty, but would show KakaSaku slowly but surely falling in love.
Idk if youâve noticed but a lot of my fics, the pairings donât change each other dramatically. They accept each other as they are and then they grow with together. Like that acceptance is something i just love writing, its so subtle, it isnât something you declare. Its simply âI am going to love you. I am going to love you despite your flaws and faults. I am going to love you unconditionally because I know you, I understand you, and there is nothing you could do to drive me away.âÂ
The fic kind of wrote itself after that first scene. I kept going back to the rain, go being ghosts, and resurrection, and the small epiphanies one gets. I wanted to focus on each characterâs growth with each other. They didnât find light in life because of each other, but with each other. And i think thatâs my favorite thing about that fic.Â
I wanted something raw and real and just something beautiful. Iâm actually really proud of it tbh. Would i go back and rewrite/edit it? Oh of course! Iâd do that with every single one of my fics, but iâm not gonna cause i think its in its rawest form right now. :))))
ask me shit plz
