#this sleep over idea man.... if i were a fanfic writer and could properly plan out a plot i'd love to see:

[robinsnest2111]

yeah the nategaar bug really bit me today huh (looking at you @little-murmaider ;^D )

going off of the sleep over thing:

what if somehow Skwisgaar gets emotionally overwhelmed by something (maybe it was a movie scene that added onto his internal emotional chaos from Nate's mom being So Nice and Present?)

and he just. starts crying. at first it's just tears falling down his cheeks. it takes Pickles pointing it out ("dood, are that tears on yer face???") for him to notice it himself. his sobs get louder and the tears just won't stop!

the others turn to him with worried expressions. he curls around the pillow he's been hugging all night, blocking everyone's clumsy but well-meaning attempts at consoling him. "leaves me alones! don'ts touch me!!!"

Toki, Pickles and Murderface are at a loss for words, nothing they are doing to try and help works!

then Nathan gets up from his place on the couch, gently pries one of Skwisgaar's hands away from the pillow which he's had in an iron grip, and asks him to step out of the room with him for a sec.

they stand in silence for a few moments until Skwisgaar's breathing has calmed to the point Nathan deems him able to talk.

he asks simple yes or no questions, doesn't judge him for crying or "being difficult" - just let's him calm all the way down and process his feelings and what had just happened in the living room.

they rejoin the others on the couch and Skwisgaar ends up falling asleep while leaning into Nathan's side.

later that night Pickles, Murderface and Toki ask Nathan how he managed to help Skwisgaar calm down when all of their attempts failed and Nathan's just like: "it's what my mom did when I was a kid. it has always worked for me."

Tagging: @whereisthefood123​, @theolddarkmachine​, @snowmadien​

Ao3 name: smartcookie727 (also on FFnet...I’m not terribly imaginative once I land on something)

Fandoms: Fairy Tail, Voltron Legendary Defender, Boku no Hero Academia, Eden’s Zero, MXTX Novels (TGCF, MDZS, SVSSS), and now Haikyuu!! as of my binge last weekend

Number of fics: About 30 distinct ones (and at least as many in my drafts I gotta have like 15k at minimum in drafts rn as I explore multi ideas) all on tumblr, AO3, and FFnet

1. Fic you spent the most time on: Probably “Precious Time” (my one and only Jerza fic so far). I’m pretty sure that one was in the oven for at least like 3-5 months. I wrote it for my twinsie Carly and wanted everything to be like absolutely on point cause she wanted some Jerza and I wanted to write them well. That or “Malibu Kisses” (the last fic I published wow almost a year ago) I swear I rewrote that like 3x before I landed on the version I kept over a period of maybe 5-6 months. It’s ridiculously detailed and literally the longest oneshot I’ve ever written at a whopping wet and wild 7k adventure of feels. 

2. Fic you spent the least time on: Probably “Tears” (my first Bixanna fic) I think I wrote that in like an hour after watching my friend play a horror game and was the one time I ever took prompts cause I was too afraid to go to sleep even after at least 2 Disney movies. It’s soft and fluffy and my dear friend Kelly wanted some Bixanna and I just ran wild with it.

3. Longest fic: Oneshot: “Malibu Kisses” at 7k, Series: “Forever Mine” at 15-20k depending on if I ever uploaded like one extra fic for it.

4. Shortest fic: “Stay”, “To All the Stars in Her Eyes” and “Desperate Words” are the only ones I have under 1k lmaoooo

5. Most hits: “Forever Mine” series at 7.5k views on FFnet. It was literally my “every day of lovefest” fic

6. Most kudos: “Hiccups” on AO3 (my one and only Nalu fic so far where I did a modern AU and somehow predicted events from the last chapter of the series) with 110 kudos or “Stamina” on FFnet (which was my loooong smexy gajevy fic) with 97 favs. It’s interesting how the numbers for different ships differ on both sites.

7. Most comment threads: “Burn” on AO3. The Sheith fandom is definitely the most vocal and persistent about writing comments or reviews about my fics on either of those websites. And that one was a crazy hot indulgent mess. 

8. Fave fic you wrote: I don’t think I have a favorite? All the ideas I love a lot right now are from multis that are still cooking. But know if the fic gets published, it means I really enjoyed it. Otherwise it would just happily sit in my drafts as a few paragraphs and a silly title!

9. Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: I still wanna go back to “Starfarers” and give my Eden’s Zero flavored Gajevy the rest of their story. There’s at least half a prequel in....you guessed it! my drafts.

10. Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning:

With a grunt, he regained his footing and stumbled out the door and down the hall, straight to the nearest restroom. Locking it behind him, Shiro slid down to the ground and buried his head in the crook of his elbows. 

Fantastic crashes were starting to become something of a brand for him, and it needed to stop. That or he needed to switch his studies to film and put this universal constant to good use. Leaning his head back, he rested against the door. Probably not the smartest thing to do; he’d taken microbiology on a dare his junior year and could list a few too many species of microorganisms that were likely there. Well, it wasn’t the first less than intelligent decision he’d made that day--he’d probably fucked up whatever small chance he’d had with lane three, bolting like that--so what did he care about a few rogue micrococci. 

Carefully, Shiro counted his breathing until his pulse slowed. At least he could still do something properly. What had he been thinking? Jumping into a pool, giving a stranger CPR, headbutting him then ghosting. Shiro was pretty sure he didn’t have a single working brain cell left. That had to be it. Maybe he could get the doctors to change his meds; this had to be attributed to some sort of chemical crossfire. 

You’ve been on these meds just fine for months, idiot. You know chemicals. There’s a framed paper above your desk that says you do. Whatever decrease in brain cell functionality you have has more to do with the chemicals inspired by deep purple eyes and soft lips rather than your pills. 

Shiro groaned. They had been so soft. Softer than he’d even imagined. Shiro had wanted to kiss them until he forgot what it felt like to breathe. However, he was a whole 6’3” of strange man with a robotic arm, and breathlessness like that required both parties’ consent. Still. He’d remember the feeling of it for a long time. Heat started to climb into his cheeks again. Shiro slapped it away. Walking over to the sink, he splashed water on his face. He needed to cool down. No one needed to know how inspiring the encounter had been.

THoughts on the Cursed child

Ok ok ok so it was important  that I write this down these are my feels I am so mad at this play It is as dissappointing as I suspected I just spent most of today reading it when I coud have been doing french!! urghg I am treating it as a mildly ok fanFIction There are many many things wrong with it Gah Ok so 1. It's a fairly ok basic idea for a plot, if you pretend that you knew nothing else about harry potter. And at first you are like yeah this is cool. Like ok, harry and albus have a shitty father son relationship ok I want to know more. Albus is in slytherin, yep ok cool with that. Albus makes friends with scorpius. Cool with that also. But why WHY did the writers have to bring back the same old same old problemos from the past!?!?!?! Like voldemort coming back??? N.O. just no for fucks sake! That complication is quite literally dead and buried. Do you know, I really really hate it when a story has been properly resolved, no cliff hangers, no reason to think that this dilemma will extend into further books, but then the writer (or whoever) is like 'let's make a sequel!' yas yas let's make a sequel but we couldn't possibly come up with another problem for the protagonists to face, oh no, let's just dig the old one up from the past! SO yeah lacking new content and creativity here >:( 2. Additionally, you really had to suspend disbelief with this. Like I said previously, somethings would be fine if there weren't already like 7 books of character development and a whole alternative universe that still has its own LAWS despite being magical!!! I really felt like these were not the characters that I knew (maybe this is due to the fact that they have a few different incarnations in the various stupid realities) especially Ron though, who I felt was reduced to a one dimensional jokester and silly man. With a beer gut, importantly. I know obviously that the characters would have developped over the last few 19 years but srsly you’d expect some recognisability. I don't know though, it's probably largely due to the fact that it is a play, (therefore much description is missing) but also the fact that JK DIDN'T ACTUALLY WRITE IT mhmm which is why I am going to treat it as fanfic and not canon. I mean I've never really come up with detailed headcanons for the next gen, but this nightmare (I was half expecting it to read '… and then albus woke up. It had all been a dream. Thank goodness! He whispered. ALL WAS WELL!!!) ffs 3. Side note: I've come up with a MUCH better idea tbh. Like ok stick with the whole fathers and sons ideas, albus can even be in slytherin (not how I imagined it but hey) and friends with Scorpius. BUT, ok but the focus can be exclusively focused on how shit Al feels as a result of having this mega mega famous father (who he looks EXACTLY like-except without the scar) and famous successful family, and going to hogwarts and not living up to expectations, and feeling a great amount of pressure to prove to the world, but especially his dad that he is worthy of being his son and that he too can live up to his expectations and reputation, not just charismatic outgoing james and happy go lucky lily. And then he and harry can have arguments and shit and he can do fucking stupid heroic shit at the castle in an attempt to prove him wrong, and nearly get killed or something and harry and he can make up and harry can be all like I love you so much and you know james is more like my dad james, but I was actually quite introspective like you, and like you I care so much about my friends and really, all that shit I did, I only did because I had to, and all I ever really wanted was to be happy and safe and to sometimes actually have a quiet life every now and then. Sure I liked and I like adventure, but it sure ain't so much fun as necessary when you are doing it to save the people you love. But most importantly, these huge expectations you have to live up to, they are only coming from you. You may be my son, but you aren't me, you are your own person. Your mum and I love you no matter what, and we will do anything to protect you, even what my parents did to protect me. We love you just as much. You are so precious to us. If I have been distant for any reason, believe you me it was only because I didn't want to put pressure on you.  But obviously that hasn't worked lol. I'm sorry, it was a mistake. I had no proper father to base my own fathering on you know. But Harry (fricking) potter isn't perfect. And I promise from now on that I will explain everything to you. And then albus can be like: sorry for being a little shit, but as you know, it was only because I was afraid of not being good enough. And then they can be all like *tears* awww so sweet happy happy fucking james is still being a cocky shit but families are like that and everything is ok in the end. And there can be all kinds of magical shenanigans without the need for bloody TIMETURNERS goddammit! 4. So. Hem hem. Timeturners. Oh my I have so much to say. But a) all the time turners were supposedly destroyed (I guess these are only the british ones though) but b) this play defies EVERYTHING ever known about time travel in the hp universe. In POA time travel is a closed loop causality type of thing, and it's a bit hard to get your head around but it’s a whole lot more credible than the shemozzle that happens in the cursed child. There. That is all I am going to say on that one. Mainly because I am so done. I could say a lot more, but simply put, that is the cold hard truth. 5. Also the idea of voldy's daughter. See point 1 but also, I abhor the idea of voldemort having sex with anyone, even bellatrix. Again, this is kind of point 2, but from what we know of him, voldy is incapable of feeling anything but hate, rage, vicious pleasure in the suffering of his enemies, fury, sarcasm and that's about it. THERe is no place for love in voldemort's heart, nor joy, or excitement and happiness (cruel satisfaction is about it). As a result, I see no place in him for lust, and I don't know that Bellatrix was into him in a sexual way. She idolised him sure, but nah I don't think she wanted him to sleep with her. Also I just feel that, Voldemort would feel like the carnal pleasures of sex and food were for the mortal world, and thus beneath him and his vast immortatlity. I honestly don’t think that he would have had a child as a back-up plan to that end because a) once he's dead, he's fucking ded, so b) he wouldn't have thought of it because time turners don't work like that!!!! I've never thought about voldemort eating before, but I feel like if he had some kind of magical way to sustain him, and like conjure food directly into his stomach, he would have done it. I can't picture him craving ice cream  or something, like no, he is all powerful, he has not weaknesses, not even for chocolate ice cream from Florian Fortescue's. If he ate, it was solely to keep him alive. His quest for immortality was sad really, because he was so determined and caught up in it’s attainment, he lead a pretty sad and shit life. Like he took no real pleasure in anything. Going back to my point, he didn't want any friends, the death eaters were a means to an ends. I therefore can't see him wanting a partner, sexual let alone romantic and so I think the idea of him having a daughter is highly improbable, if not entirely ridiculous. 6. I understand that this was probably necessary as it is a play, intended to be told in two parts but personally I felt that there was too much in the plot, too many conflicts and resolutions, which made it feel a bit messy and confusing to me. But yeah I guess they wanted to entertain the audience both times. BUT AHA more evIDENCe for it being just a cash cow for the franchise. It honestly would have worked better with less in it and only one play but nooOOO we mUST MAKE MONEYYYYYYYYYY urgh
