#tho I think part of that is the fandom liking to villianize her or use her an a character with “bad ideas”

Hiiiiiii! I'm here again after reading the New chapter of Every Corner Of This House Is Haunted and I LOVE IT!!!! It was really worth it waiting a little while. When I saw the notification on my phone I was EUPHORIC!!! Thank you for coming back to us, dear author 😔😔🤙

Omg I was so broken reading Neteyam's part 😭 It seems like he's trying his best not to worry about his sister, but he's failing!! Like, after all the distance on their relationship, he feels like he shouldn't be worried, but he is 😟

THEIR FLASHBACK!!!!! It made me so happy reading a little about their sibling relationship :))

HE USED TO CALL HER TSMUKE 😭😭😭 WHY DID HE HAVE TO STOP?? Neteyam, pls, call reader "sis" back again 🙏

And it broke me so much the fact that the reader literally taught neteyam the concept of lie 😢 I mean, the navi language doesn't even have a word for lie, so it's normal to a navi not know the concept of it. But instead of him learning the word "lie" as something bad that hurts people, she taught him the good part of the lie, because she lied just to protect him 😭😭😭😭🙏

I kinda feel a little bad for Jake tho (not because of the situation with reader of course, he was wrong), but his whole life he's known as someone that brings chaos and destruction, and he feels he needs to be perfect to deserve to be happy, but he's so focused in it he doesn't even notice when he's being cruel and losing touch with his family. He somehow admits that he's responsible of the chaos the brought to the family and didn't even notice until it happened 😭😭😭

NEYTIRI IS SUCH A GOOD MOM!!! PLS SOMEONE HUG HER :(((((

and I was so surprised by the end of the chapter when reader encountered the palulukan 😟 I can't wait to read the next chapter!!

I love your writing, the way that you work to describe both parts of the situation and not making it like "reader is right and jake is the villian". (Of course im a little biased on reader's side, but who cares 🤭)

It's literally the last thing I'm holding onto to stay on the fandom. Pls, pardon my English! I was so excited to comment on the fanfic that I didn't even have time to see if it makes sense.

Love you, bye!! 🩷💖🩷💖

AIKO MY WIFE HELLO thank you for mentioning the flashback! i actually thought of removing it from the chapter because i thought it wouldn't hold any significance whatsoever, but i'm glad i didn't! how you put it, with reader teaching neteyam the word lie is so heart-wrenching ;( yall are wise fr. to think that he knows that word as something soft and gentle because of reader is BEYOND me, i love you for that

i feel so bad for jake too bby: (( i genuinely think that he blames himself for every bad thing that has ever happened because he thinks he brought it to them himself. my man just wants to be happy

thank you for this! i really love exploring different perspectives and dynamics, it makes the story more in depth that way?? i'm really glad that i'm able to portray it well! (bby believe me, your english is good! ilysb, thank you for reading!)

Earthspark rambles part 2

I mean, on one hand, I really love what they're doing with Megatron's character. On the other, I feel like for being the backstory episode. They didn't give us enough backstory. "Good intentions can turn bad" but how????? "I get why [the war] started" well I don't. Like yeah it was a freedom fight kind of thing, but not explaining how it got to this kinda missed the point of pointing that Megatron fucked up. At least the line "once it became Decepticons vs Autobots" implies that it didn't start this way and we can avoid only the Decepticons being revolutionaries, but how hard it is to say that?

I feel like the show doesn't want to be too direct and tell-y on the exposition, but Megs is literally exposing the children to the past. How hard is it to go "Yeah, I wanted to rise against opression and the Decepticons and Autobots used to be one, but I kinda went mad with power and decided tyranny was good if I did it. Also, I was all for killing other races for our gain, which Optimus didn't like". Or anything. What actually happened. It's annoying because the audience-surrogate characters do apparently know what happened, so I don't have hopes we'll get more detail. And honestly given how the fandom gets, I would like a clear backstory

I do really like Megatron's realization that his war is only getting his people killed and that if he cared about them, he would try to stop it. Would love to know more on how it actually went down, but the implication that Do showed compassion to Decepticons making Megatron realize that he's being ruthless and using them as cannon fodder is good. Especially when the other key trait in this Megatron is that he actually sees humans as people. So a human reminding him of the value of his Decepticon's lives explains why he would suddenly start valuing human life as well. And it's also nice to see that he apparently overestimated the control he had over his Decepticons.

Also, I'm still not sure if destroying the space bridge was a good idea. I get they wanted to avoid the army razing Earth, but the implication that it risked getting everyone on Cybertron killed uuuuuh, Optimus wtf? Am I understanding this right?

Thrash was fantastic on this episode tho.

Shockwave.... good....

Bee fighting at the beginning of ep 17 was hot, ok? Don't @ me

A freaking underground battle ring where Cybertronians battle for energon?? Okay. That's extremely dark.

I love that Nightsade "Protector of the weak" Malto immediately became a vigilante. God, this nerd <3

I liked that Bee almost dies. He looked very pretty during the whole thing.

He isn't Tarantulas, but Mandroid is all fucked up and needs energon to live and that's good enough for me.

GHOST lady (what was her name?) controlling him with food is messed up. I talked about how OP is in a very thigh position where he needs to keep his people fed, but he can't go all alien colonizer and take it by force, so he needs to work with humans, who hate and fear them for bringing their war here, so yeah if GHOST is the only ally he has...... but yeah, that scene showcases the balance of power pretty well.

Followed by the Maltos showing a lot of symphaty for the Cons. I mean, I'm not surpised by this direction. We knew GHOST was the reall villian here and that neither Optimus nor Megatron consider putting all the Cons in jail an ideal solution and are trying to look for something better. But it seems to be going pretty smoothly, and they really aren't holding back with GHOST being evil. Which I think is great.

WHERE IS OPTIMUS??? I WANT TO SEE MY BLORBO

Um, I had more to say, but I'm tired and can't remember. Anyway, Earthspark good.

[broken-everlark]

I feel bad because I always get off so late and I'm also slow asf with trying to respond and trying to put my words correctly.

You're not leaning toward one side, I honestly completely get what you're saying. Just everything offends everyone nowadays. I just want to enjoy my ships dammit. That's all. I don't hate anyone based on race or sexuality. I base them off their personality. If they are terrible people, you won't be hated based on your race or sexuality. It'll be by how you treat others. It's as simple as that. But people take it as, oh, you're homophobic or racist since you don't like them being bisexual. No, I just don't understand how tagging them as bisexual will help my fanfic. Like, I don't understand. When it's going to be wyler. No matter what in my fics. I'm not going to add a random ass character for one of them to be interested in because why? Why? I just don't understand anymore. I can have them be straight. That's fine. Everyone else can see them as bi. Good for them. But everyone is villianizing one over the other nowadays, and it's getting ridiculous. I hate losing friends over things that mean so little in normal life. I don't see race. I don't see sexuality. All I see is how they treat other people and the respect they give or don't give. Because I was raised to give EVERYONE respect and treat EVERYONE how I'd like to be treated.

Weyler got as toxic as Marvel fandom. About the same stuff. Except I shipped stony and a straight ship that I can't remember which one it was. Literally had people get mad at me for shipping a gay ship and then also shipping a straight one. Saying I'm not allowed to. Like wtf. Then, on wyler, I shipped too many straight ships, apparently even tho with Bianca and Lucas. I do see Bianca as bisexual. But I'm done defending myself. I just want to read Fanfic & talk about wyler, that's all.

Yeah, they liked me at first, then when I simply said my opinion, they got mad about it and called me all the names in the book. And that was just earlier this year. My depression hit me hard again, and I just.. never felt so low in my entire life and hated myself so much. It was.. really bad. I just hate being in fandoms now. I hated how they acted to be nice to me and then turned immediately so easily. But yeah, I'm really glad I got out of that fandom. I'd get very angry and upset, and that's not okay. It's just nice to finally have someone who understands.

Oh, exactly. She definitely will notice when she does something thar affects him. Like you said, biting her lip. Or maybe how she dresses (in her uniform, it sorta has a skirt) she'd definitely notice if he was checking her out. But Tyler may catch her checking him out. One of these days, we'll definitely have to private message each other and rewatch the show or just message each other about things we notice lmao.

Joel, being the stalker was a popular theory, but idk if it still is. People just wanted to guess about the stalker. That or Vincent - Xaviers dad.

Oh, definitely, the best part about Xavier is the fact that he's the most disliked character, even by the show, like he's ignored by Wednesday. Or how Wednesday constantly picks Tyler over him. Or you know.. when she got him arrested, she didn't feel bad or care. It's the best thing ever how she never lets him through her walls/defenses. It's the best part.

In nature, usually, it is the male animals parading around for the female. Specifically with birds and definitely Peacocks is a good example. Usually, in nature, like you said, male peacocks have very bright and colorful feathers to attract females. Same with male cardinals, they are usually bright red while females are brown-red, most male birds are bright & colorful. I like that you referred it to Peacocks because that's honestly what i was thinking. I love that it's sorta reversed, not because I'm a girl and I, the stupid independence they force on shows nowadays that is just cringey. (I don't like using that word, but that's the only word for it) I love women's independence, but don't force it like Jenna is trying to do with Wednesday. Because it usually is shown by making men weaker or whimpy. When you can make women independent without hating on men. But again, that's a different conversation 🤣

It needs to be said more that she definitely was dancing for him. Only him. Because her eyes never left him. His eyes never left her, and definitely A+ for effort on trying to copy her mating dance lmao. It reminds me o HTTYD 3 (I'm not a fan of that movie, I personally prefer the first 2.) it does remind me of when Toothless was doing all the different mating dances to try and attract the female but failed hilariously. At least Tyler tried and sorta did good. A for effort.

The people who say Wednesday didn't want to be at the dance, and she only went for Enid need to leave because they are living in a delusional world. She went to please her friend but left right when Tyler showed up, and I definitely think it was a plan between Thing & Enid. Because Thing bought the dress & made sure Tyler was coming, all he needed was to make sure Wednesday would come. Which Enid made sure of. So definitely best friend moment and Thing- Enid schemes 🤣 I love telling wenclairs this because then they have no argument left.

Or the fact that Wednesday was ready to ditch when she realized Tyler wanted to dance and actually wanted to do this. Then, she ditched her plans, Eugene, for Tyler. Like CMON, whether Wednesday or Wenclairs want to admit it Wednesday was hooked on Tyler.

I definitely think she confided in Xavier about her mother. But Xavier is the piece of shit that he is. Used that against her. It hurts even more knowing that, and I still don't understand how people like them together. Or like Xavier in the slightest when he has so much stuff against him.

I want them to explore how Donovan and Fran met and their relationship. I want flashbacks or maybe just Donovan telling his son what happened to Fran and how she spiraled and how he was desperate to help her. I need to rewatch the show, but I guarantee I saw him still have his wedding ring on. I can't remember, tho. Donovan is definitely complex. He's was scared Tyler was too much like Fran. He had her personality, and now he knows that he was fully like her. With the Hyde. And now, with the final battle, he learned that his son is the Hyde, and I know damn good and well he'll go ballistic when he finds out what Laurel did to him. Since I know Tyler didn't tell him about her or didn't feel like Donovan would listen.

I'm praying Tyler gets redeemed and Donovan tries to fix their relationship. Even going against the police department to search for his son and make sure he's safe. Knowing that's all that matters to him.

Hunter & Jamie did a fantastic job, and I can't wait to see more because it'll definitely be emotional and heartbreaking. Yes, I do feel like Jenna was right about a few things but not about the romance. A psychotic serial killing monster is right up Wednesday's alley. And I hate when Jenna says Wednesday never had a love interest like GIRL. you obviously didn't watch the 91 movie. Or how she'll contradict herself and say "oh Wednesday doesn't need love. Or the love triangle was weak. " But then turn around and say "oh I think wenclair has potential" like I love Jenna but bitch HOW🤣 How?!

I can agree with her about the love triangle, Wednesday & Xavier side is nonexistent. Wyler was the main focus, and so was petroclair. So wenclair, how is that the main ship? I'm probably coming back to our earlier conversation. Is it because it's between a man and a woman? I feel like since it's 2023, they are mad that it's a man and a woman. Or apparently, Wednesday is a queer icon... when has she ever been a queer icon? Just because a few "fans" say so? When tf has she ever been a queer icon? Like, did I miss something?

Exactly. I remember being a fandom, and the fans were so toxic that they forced one of the actors to come out as gay. (He is gay), but the fans don't need to know, and it's information he's allowed to keep to himself or release to his friends and family. Fans have no right to know about their private lives. But fans get so toxic and will get mad when the actor isn't the sexuality they want or get mad that the actor isn't with another actor. Like Emma & Jenna get effected by this the most. Their wenclair fans literally have NO chill. Literally, I read a post of a fan that said "oh look how Emma is so jealous at Hunter and Jenna" or "I bet Jenna wishes Emma was holding her in her arms like that." LIKE WTF. Never ship actors unless they are actually dating (because yes, there are sometimes actors who date), but Emma and Jenna are not that. It's disgusting how people ship them, especially them only being 20. One person on Twitter or X said, "i can't believe jenna is smoking." Leave them alone. They are 20. Let them live their lives and figure their lives out. I'm the same age as them, and I can't even fathom the stress they probably go through with fans. Kinda like millie Bobbie Brown when she got so sexualized at the age of 16. It's disgusting. And now she's older and it's worse. I feel so bad for her.

Sorry, I probably should re-read my replies because I'm not good with words, so it's most likely coming off very... offensive when I'm not meaning it that way.

Can we talk about how Wednesday was in the most none triangle love triangle ever? Like, Wednesday and Tyler were doing their own thing meanwhile Xavier was just kind of there. Now if Wednesday liked Xavier too that would be a proper triangle, but that’s not what played out. She was always upfront with him that she was there for Tyler. He was just guy on the side who had a thing for a girl who’s into someone else. It was never a triangle. It almost confuses why anyone calls it a triangle at all.

I see you out here posting Sparrabeth content 👀 what do you think about the comparisons of L to Jack and Misa to Elizabeth?

No but, I saw you liking them and was about to dm you to see if you wanted to talk about this lol

Where to start? There's so much to say. When comparing them I realize, hell maybe I do gave a type!

The obvious first, they're both ships with wasted potential. They also give me the vibes of het ship for queer people (the counterpairs being het ships for straight people) if that make sense.

Physically, they're very pretty much the same, taller dark-haired man, shorter blonde woman + they both have a big age gap, one significantly bigger than the other (lawmane 7 years and sparrabeth 22 years if I remember correctly).

When speaking to each other, they almost always seem to be so unnecessarily close, specially Jack and L, that have no problem getting into Lizzy and Misa's face and invade their personal space.

Both L and Jack are seen by other characters as eccentric and weird and their sometimes cold and questionable actions provokes either admiration or contempt, while Misa and Elizabeth are judged first by their beauty and most characters seem to think of them as innocent naive girls, not aware of their dark side. L and Jack seem to be the ones that really see through them and can see the darkness behind those beautiful eyes. I really don't think Light and Will (their canon love interests) truly knew them, Light just knew enough to manipulate her and not let her become a threat, and Will for example always seemed surprised by Elizabeth's actions.

What the four of them have in common is that they're willing to do morally questionable stuff to get what they want/need.

Sparrabeth have an insane amount of sexual tension, eyefucking all around, Lawmane tho it's more subtle, as it's been pointed out (shout out to @gigantomachy1916 analysis of L, Misa and Sex in Death Note) L has only had shown sexual interest in Misa, in some scenes were faked, but others is undeniable.

Their dynamics are pretty alike as well, but their fanon dynamic are near identical. In fact, being the obsessive weirdo I am, having reading the majority of the fics on each ship's AO3 tag, I took notice of every similarity. Funny how two ships of completely different fandoms with completely different plots have so much in common.

They're both given the same tropes in most fics: Enemies to Lovers (for Lawmane it may go Enemies to Friends to Lovers, for Sparrabeth Friends to Enemies to Lovers), Unrequited Love, Infidelity/Cheating, First Time/Loss of Virginity, Not Your Damsel In Distress, Birds of a Feather, Deflecting for Love or Dating Catwoman (depends on the fic, Jack is not really the villian on most fics,but the world around Elizabeth sees it this way), I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, but you get my point.

Another thing both fandoms have in common as seen through fic as well as posts, is that we both believe Misa and Elizabeth deserved better, and these ships allows us to give them that, it's also very clear we care more about giving our girls what they deserve rather than the romanticism (tho of course, that is a big part of it too). I've not seen a Sparrabeth fic where Elizabeth is treated as just a housewife-child bearer (like canon) or a Lawmane fic where Misa becomes L's unwanted useless sidekick (basically replacing Light's role in her life), most fics take the time to explore why these girls are so great and likeable, why they should have been allowed more power and autonomy, why they had the potential to be more. I mean, Misa not only had the eyes of a Shinigami, she also had a Shinigami completely devoted to her, yet they decided to make her a sillu girl too in love with a guy to take advantage of it (I think Misa is smarter than she lets on) and Elizabeth was made Pirate King, you mean to tell me she's gonna drop that title to live the life she never wanted? And for a man she's only going to see once every 10 years? And they wonder why we run for these ships instead.

I'm making a post about how I think Sparrabeth's relationship would have gone and how I don't believe they'd be a conventional couple, but that doesn't mean they'd be unhappy, quite the contrary, same thing could be said about Lawmane.

And this one only aplies to me, but they're also the kind of ships where I can't ship the canon pair but I ship the male character with their love rival lol a.k.a Lawlight and Wil x Jack (do they have a ship name??)

+Bonus comparisons:

"I'm totally kidding,,, unless?"

Sure it's really normal to talk this close to someone you don't want to kiss

Sorry if I rambled a lot lol TL;DR, Lawmane and Sparrabeth are more similiar than one could think, should have been endgame and deserve more recognition than they get

I would like to know what you think too!

[light-miracles]

On a scale of 1 to 10, just HOW insufferable do you think the ship wars in the ATLA fandom are going to be in the future, considering the vast bonkers age gap of the actors? :D""" (send help. that was my first thought. and I don't even ship Zuko/Katara but goodness, the purity police that's gonna go around saying you can never under ANY circumstances ship that anymore because their actors are 20 and 14 in this iteration, like the cartoon don't still exist)

*deepest sigh ever* This live action will end us all. I don't think we as a society are mentally prepared for an AtLA live action.

I don't think this live action will change a lot of things for any part of the original fandom. Most of the reactions I see are 'I'm curious but extremely sceptical'. Which is fine. I'm kind of optimistic for now because Toph isn't in this (I'm not ready to see her being written as a jerk once again) and this is MAYBE a chance of getting some decent Sokka/Suki content. That's all I ask. The rest of the show can suck in peace if they give me some Sukka.

Back to Zutara, they're already being bullied all the time 😂😂. If it's not because 'OMG HIS NATION WERE THE VILLIANS THAT'S ABUSE' is because 'OMG HE'S A KING THAT'S POWER IMBALANCE' and my personal favorite 'OMG HE'S 2 YEARS OLDER THAT'S GROOMING' 🙂. When exactly the fandom turned into the old ladies of my ex church, I have no idea. And Zutara isn't even my otp (I do like Old Zutara in LoK tho) but damn, some of the people in this fandom really need to touch some grass.

On a scale of 0 to 10 I'll say a 6 but just because 'OMG THE ACTORS IN THE LA WE DON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT ARE-' sounds like a way too RIDICULOUS reason to hate on the completely different Zutara from the ORIGINAL CARTOON.

Side Note: I still think this show will skip both Kataang and Zutara, at least the first season and who knows if the show continues. Probably Sukka or Maiko will get the spotlight. If not, maybe they skip the romance completely. Which would be the best idea imo.

[ropebunnykant]

Moyo is easier to love bc (if u follow the actor he is great and that softens u to his on screen persona & also) he shared the screen with a completely abhorent character so he became more tolerable by default. In general tho, Moyo is a terribly written character and the actor seriously got the short straw playing him. Moyo is a bully. A homophobic, arrogant, ignorant misogynistic bully. But wtfock eased up on those traits in s4 in favor of him being used and verball abused by Kato.

Okay so this got a lot longer than I anticipated, and tbh idek if it all makes sense because I woke up like 20 minutes ago and was gonna go back to sleep bc is literally 5 am, but I couldn’t stop thinking about this ask so I had to answer it. So, I’m putting the rest of the answer under a cut. Thank you for the ask, nonnie 💙

No, like you’re 100% right, which is honestly I think part of why I do love him in a way as well? Like tbh, in looking back, s4 isn’t even that surprising because wtFOCK has just been horribly racist in their portrayal of Moyo since the very beginning. Making one of their ONLY black central characters such a homophobic and misogynistic bully is truly one of the worst decisions they made in the first three seasons. Sure, are there black men like Moyo out there that exist? Definitely, but that doesn’t mean giving one of your few black characters on screen those traits and putting him in opposition to one of the fan favorites — because what did they seriously think was gonna happen when the Skam fandom got ahold of a black man bullying their favorite white boy? — was a good thing.

Which is also why I phrased my post the way I did — I never fully LIKED Moyo, to clarify, but I also never hated him, either, and the reason for that is because I knew that he deserved better than what the writers were doing to him. It’s the same reason I don’t completely hate Britt despite the writers apparently planning on villianizing her for a third fucking season. They’re teenagers, a black teenage boy and a teenage girl, and they don’t deserve the shitty and lazy writing that the wtFOCK writers have put them through.

And back to Moyo, I do think he did get better as time went on. Moyo’s learning curve in s3 definitely wasn’t very well written, but it was also written that he learned from his mistakes in the way he treated Robbe at the very least. Like the way that their friendship has progressed shows this as well. But that doesn’t erase his misogyny, either. He’s even still making ridiculously sexist comments at the beginning of s4! And despite that me, and a lot of other people, were able to sympathize and fall in love with Moyo during s4. And I do agree that that definitely has to do with putting with in opposition to Katastrophe, but they also made him a love interest. The point was to fall in love with him and tbh that’s the one thing that wtFOCK succeeded at with s4.

To clarify, that’s not me giving them ANY sort of credit. Because if anything the fact that they made me fall in love with Moyo makes me even more angry. Because not only were they able to actually make him a likable character, which they should have been trying to do from s1 instead of making him so hated, but it also just proves the wasted potential he had. Noa’s a great actor! Moyo was such a compelling character, with his mother, his brother, his job, and even from the fucking issues he had! They could have given him s4 and actually made it deal with his homophobia and misogyny, his toxic masculinity, his issues with his family, and the racism he faces. There is SO MUCH there to make a season about and instead we got Cactus.

This got long, but basically I completely agree with you and it pisses me off that the wtFOCK writers are so lazy and bad at their fucking jobs.

AND!!!!

this conversation looks fucking hillarious w/o the readmores 😭😭 i just imagine us like, phatomiming or smth 😭

WE LOVE CYCLICAL ABUSE NARRATIVES!!!!! me when the cycle Gets You Gets You Gets You Gets Y

AROACE!! WE LOVE 2 SEE IT!!! the govt straight up wanta disabled people to just fucking die i swear to god. even if you get benefits theyre a pittance in this economy. i have to steal my groceries bc its either that or i cant afford everything. tho im not 100% out of my wheelchair, but I can walk significantly more and i could downgrade my knee braces from rigid ones to fabric ones! im gonna get a rollator soon to help w mobility so fingers crossed that helps! 🤞🏻 tho i get ur pain, my back pain was the most debilitating part pre-...miracle???

also i do have someone, i am engaged!! mr. i-forgot-he-feels-remorse is my fiancé! hes on tumblr too lmao he just cant think of a url for a dangan blog 😩 hes so sweet my ass did NOT settle not even a little! tho after i move im gonna look into other assistance programs tbh, even if i dont wanna go thru the yearslong hassle of getting disability specifically i can always see if theres other stuff i can qualify for!

i also like to date the soulbonds imma be so fr 😭 one of them just decided i had an ultimate ability and im like. aight 🧍‍♂️

ALSO HMMMM THATS AN INTERESTING TAKE ON JUNKO!!! i def dont think that angle fully *rules out* aspd moreso... her extreme boredom and the trauma she put herself thru caused her to develop it, but then it made the boredom worse and oops now the world is on fire! teehee!

either way the narrative is absolutely that the world completely failed her and had she been nurtured correctly this would not have happened-- tho i do wanna say its possible to care about someone and yet disregard their autonomy and feelings and rights (abusive parents do it all the time!)

tbh i really only trust myself w specifically aspd junko (or aspd kamakura which... idk i havent thought abt other than "maybe?") bc if i saw anyone ELSE do it id think "oh. oh no. theyre saying that bc shes the Evil One" bc i doooont trust ppl atp with all the shit ive seen in fandom

but my personal view on it is that most people with aspd will be normal people with a mental illness, and some of them will be dangerous, abusive people. thats life! i see this tip with writing gay villians, and i thjnk it applies here: its totally fine to write an antagonist with aspd! ...so long as theyre not the *only* person w aspd in the story. if theres just one pwaspd in the story, the "burden of representation" so to say is placed on them, but if there are multiple, that burden is not only shared, but itll be placed on the character thats closest to the protagonist, ESPECIALLY if it just straight up *is* the protagonist

i think both our hcs are valid tho!!! i just sharin my thoughts! and after all, no reason why she cant have both- i do!

THO ON GOD junko getting meds fixing her is so funny 😭😭 get this bitch medicated and hobbified!!! junko being the ultimate analyst as ryoko is so sad tbh bc like, shes extremely smart but because shes pretty, those smarts were disregarded. she ended the world but she was a kid once too and she was failed!!!

@kindlyre

Okay I'm VERY curious as to what mental illness you're writing Rantaro to have because it seems to be one of those stigmatized ones and I'm v curious???

It’s a VERY good thing that this was for different fandoms because 3 of them were going to be from A Song of Ice and Fire because I am the worst. All of these women have inspired parts of my OCs, see if you can spot the fascinating ways I am a hack fraud under a read more cuz long

Samus Aran (Metroid)

My first videogame love. I will die for her. Really the first example of a lady kicking ass that I can remember, and also gave me my fascination for the mysterious person in armor trope. Seeing a female character who wasn’t sexualized (until the zero suit, anyway) was a game changer.

Sansa Stark (A Song of Ice and Fire)

I’m in the camp where I prefer book Sansa to show Sansa, but in general I just really love what she represents - or at least the potential of it. A woman constrained by the binds of her society and suffering for it, but learning to play it to her advantage and turn the tables on motherfuckers and make them forever regret underestimating her. Strong in a way that doesn’t require physical power or violence. She’s a very different archetype and I love her for it. (I also enjoy her dynamic with Sandor even though it screams problematic). MY QUEEN IN DA NORF

Honorary mentions also go to Brienne of Tarth and Olenna Tyrell from the series. :V

Sarah Connor (Terminator)

I prefer the first movie to the second and Sarah's a big reason for that. I love seeing an ordinary woman faced with horrifying circumstances and fuckin' killing it. T2 Sarah is very fucked up (and I appreciate that she's realistically fucked up from what she's been through) and I love her too but sweet baby angel T1 Sarah is my fave. I pretend the other movies don’t exist lol sue me

Maiev Shadowsong (Warcraft)

In a total reverse from Sarah Connor, I love Maiev because she's an absolute asshole, but also because she's right. Mostly. A woman incredibly devoted to her duty, who has witnessed a lot of terror and horror, arguably betrayed by her leader and still trying to do what's best for her people. Love her to bits. Tyrande who?

Red (Transistor)

This game stuck with me after I finished it and has still stuck with me. Just having a relatively mute protagonist (save for her singing) in crazy circumstances with her dead boyfriend's soul in a sword she uses to whoop ass. Idk. I just think she's neat.

Furiosa (Mad Max: Fury Road)

She's fury and love, power and tenderness. She's every shade of woman - she’s a human and there’s absolutely no male gaze regarding her (to the point of angering manchildren, legend). If every female character was like Furiosa I could die happy. I can't sufficiently express how amazing she and the rest of the female cast in the movie are but I've seen it three times in theatres if that tells you anything.

Margaret (The Crown)

Her character is based on an actual real life person, but dramatized. This is going to be a smidge weird but idc. I identify a lot with Margaret - her pains in love, her aimlessness, feeling ignored or misunderstood, a complicated but loving relationship with her sister. Taking to abusing alcohol to deal with it and everyone just kind of turning a blind eye. The mix of very high highs and very low lows. Trying to be happy and things never seeming to work out. The absolute tragedy of her life just being absolute garbage - partially of her own making. She's great, Vanessa Kirby and Helena Bonham Carter do a great job portraying her.

Elinor Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility)

For the Austenverse this spot was a tie between Elinor and Anne Elliot from Persuasion. Both are characters I've grown to love more and more as I've gotten older and can identify with them more. They're up there in age, they're the obligatory responsible adult in their families trying to fuckn' make do on this bitch of an earth. They have great pains and anxiety regarding love a nd their age and broken hopes and just hnnnh feels. Emma Thompson is my favorite rendition of her.

Lady Sarah Churchill (The Favorite)

Baddest bitch on the block. Emphasis on bitch. Like Sansa, her world is a sexist and misogynist one where women aren't percieved as a threat - they're barely percieved as players at all - but Sarah is smart as hell and has managed to seat herself in a position of extreme power at the Queen's side. At the cost of emotionally manipulating the Queen for her own selfish needs. (wtf) She's a villian I really like and seeing her and Abigail's power struggles is depressing but entertaining. Also her fashion sense is bomb dot com.

Megara (Disney)

Alongside Esmeralda (another favorite, tho problematic) the only Disney heroine from my childhood that seems to be an actual adult. She's sassy, her hips don't lie, and she loves herself a himbo. Relateable.

the 100 for the fandom ask game :))

Thank you babe! :) I wrote waaaaaaay too much so if anyone wants to talk more about something I said then pls, message me! I know some of these things arent popular opinions, so I’d love to hear other opinions if anyone thinks I’m wrong!

the first character i ever fell in love with: Clarke! a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: Wick! I thought his character was pretty stellar and then the actor was such a douche that whenever i rewatch it i just feel blech. a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:  i dont think i have any? I like most t100 ships. I guess wick x raven but just because of what I mentioned. my ultimate favorite character™: Clarke. I adore her so much. prettiest character: This question is too hard. Clarke, Lexa, Raven, Bellamy, John, and Lincoln are all too hot and I refuse to pick. my most hated character: Ontari.my OTP: Originally I would have said Bellarke. Recently though, I’ve been thinking about it and I realised that I would find it weird if they kissed? They’ve been working as co-leaders and best friends for too long. The episode would have to be written perfectly for it to be believable to me. So I think my OTP would need to be Memori. They love each other so much, and I love them both.my NOTP: Ontari x Murphy. Dub/non-con ships dont sail here. favorite episode: 1x13 - We Are Grounders Part II - I think it was a really good ep that kinda showed all the characters off really well. saddest death: I sobbed over Marper. They got a good death though. As much as I would have liked more of them, if the had died violently it wouldn’t have been right. I loved that they found peace. favorite season: Season 1, for nostalgia purposes i think. least favorite season: Season 5... O think the writing is superbly clumsy in places and so many characters pull shit that hasn’t followed. It might be because of the time jump, and the characters changing during that but its just clumsy not to show this and just go “oops! they’ve changed! Deal with it!”. Even if they dont explicitly show if you should feel it and I just didnt... character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Okay hate is a strong word.... I don’t particularly hate any of the characters... but.... I did feel extremely disappointed when Jasper risked his friends lives because he was depressed. It made me so so so mad. I understand he went through loads but so have most of them, ie Raven. I’m not saying he shouldn’t have been suicidal or anything I just get mad that he tried to take them down with him. I love him but I hate the decisions he made. my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Early seasons Echo. Girl is so badass but she was loyal to people who didn’t love her and that put her on the wrong side of things. I love her growth now she has people who love her back. my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Raven. Stop torturing her please. She’s lost too much. Though her writing this season has been strange... Does she remember that she tortured and killed people too? my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: I don’t think I have one for this show? my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Zaven. I didnt love season 5, and I didn’t feel v attached to them even though I was glad she was happy. His death def made me question if I want to keep watching this show tho cause it has a weird obsession with killing minorities and I dont know if I want to support a show that is okay with thinking the only two choices for minorities is dead or villian.

How did you discover the show?

Saw it on netflix and went H U H and then ignored it for a good long time lol.

Was it love at first sight or did it take you a while to get into the the show?

Eventually tumblr made me interested enough to watch the first season, but I sort of fell out during season 2. So definitely the second one lol. I started watching it again so I could read a friend’s fic, and then I came across the shance fandom and decided I had to finish watching ALL of the seasons so I could play in that sandbox as well haha.

Do you have a favorite episode?

I actually do not!

Do you have a favorite Paladin?

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK. But that said, I think if anyone looked at my fic and my art they would, ah, see that I am a terrible liar and that Shiro is hands down my favorite. :3

Do you have a favorite Lion? (If it’s different from your fav Paladin, why?)

I REALLY CAN’T PICK THIS TIME, i love all of them, they’re great. ....honestly, i don’t know why i haven’t written more fic with them in it I SHOULD WRITE MORE FIC WITH THE LIONS AAAA.

Do you have a favorite Villian?

there was that one galra dude who was like “THIS IS THE WORST POST, BUT IT’S MYYYYY POST” and then died horribly. he’s probably my fave, he was ridiculous and so human, it was like the show was going H E Y these people who are dying are just like you, don’t forget that.

Do you have a favorite Alien Race? (Recurring and/or minor)

i doooooon’t, but i like a lot of them and i love most of all coming up with my own :3 :3 :3

Favorite side / other character(s)- Rebels, Generals, Blade of Marmora, Garrison, etc?

KOLIVAN, I WANT TO DATE YOU. EZOR, I WANT TO DATE YOU. take me out and treat me right bbs unf

How/Why did you join the fandom?

shance fandom is so sweet and pure and those boys are precious i could not stay away from something so lovely ..........even tho apparently my fic is trying to wreck it because i honestly think they are great together and that their circumstances are terrible and i am deeply interested in making it difficult for them to get their shit together but get their shit together they will???

Care to share your favorite headcanon?

lotor is not a nice guy and is on such good behavior for allura and i just desperately want him to slip up and be a fucking sarcastic asshat around her and then be like !!!!! SHIT !!!!!! I DIDN’T MEAN THAT !!!!! and allura give him this narrow look and then be like i’m glad you finally feel like you can be yourself, at least a little OKAY

the paladins take naps on their lions

the whole fucking show has taken years and despite the fact that their character designs haven’t aged you cannot convince me that all five seasons have taken less than a year there is no way in hell

What do you think is the best part of the show?

i’m with mei on this - this show is great for giving writers something to play with. i’ve always adored shows that give you layers of shit to delve into. it’s why i will probably never stop writing bssm ever haha SO MANY OPTIONS and voltron has given us this great huge universe and done a great job showing bits and pieces of all sorts of things that you can pick at and consider and ghdklgjdlskfj i’m not being v eloquent but i fucking love a show that allows me to create so much worldbuilding for it because the groundwork is already so sprawling.

Any hopes and wishes for future episodes / seasons?

lance in the red paladin armor and allura in the blue but it’s not gonna happen

Do you think you’ll stick it out until the end of the show?

NO CLUE, but probably, it’s pretty great. and so long as they keep giving me such a huge world to play in, well. i’m not done making a mess of it yet 8D

Tag your friends or someone you want to get to know better:

eh, i was away from social stuff for a bit there - sorry - so i have no idea who has and hasn’t done this, but i’ll go ahead and tag @sabraeal and @onoheiwa in case they feel like it but if you see this and you haven’t been tagged and want to do it then consider yourself tagged by me xoxo

Voltron legendary defender ask game

~Voltron Legendary Defender Ask Game~

Tagged by my lovely lady @seiteki9​  (Yes you are love, don’t even try to tell me otherwise)

How did you discover the show?

Well ... I’m an illustrator and have been selling for years in conventions with my gf @seiteki9​. Along the line (I think when S2 came out) I heard about it by clients who asked me for goodies from VLD. It took a while before I checked the serie because I thought it was juste another mecha anime and I’m usually not into these really. So at some point, since it is on netflix and all AND when I learned it was made by the same studio as Avatar last air bender ... I gave it a shot. And oh boy did I fell head 1st into this show. Sheith is my life now, thank you. 

Was it love at first sight or did it take you a while to get into the the show?

1st sigh. I think it took .... 10 minutes. I fell in when Keith rescue Shiro and makes that so tender expression recognizing him on the table and unconscious. 

Do you have a favorite episode?

S2 ep 1 is definitely among my favorite ones that’s for sure (Gee guess why huh) and I think the trial at the blades of mormora would be there to. But it is hard to decide, this serie is so amazing in general and also so much sheith moments >_< 

Do you have a favorite Paladin?

Shiro, yeah, totally. Keith in close 2nd. 

Do you have a favorite Lion? (If it’s different from your fav Paladin, why?)

As dork as I am, I would say Black. Not because she is the head, but also because of the evolution between her and Shiro and the whole complicated relation/story with Zarkon. 

Do you have a favorite Villian?

Hmm ... I think that would be Zarkon. I love his tragic story. How he came to be, but also how much of a dangerous man he became. What goes around him and also we know where he’s going. 

Do you have a favorite Alien Race? (Recurring and/or minor)

I do really love the galras in all their glory and bad sides to. I mean they are mostly brawl over brains you know. Their designs are all so interesting, but also I love how their mind set has been presented so far (since we don’t know much about the culture yet). I think in 2nd would be the balmerans (I’m not sure who it’s written). They look so awesome and their story is so sad and interesting at the same time. 

Favorite side / other character(s)- Rebels, Generals, Blade of Marmora, Garrison, etc?

I love Shay and Narti ( ;_; ) so much. 

Also Lieutenant Ozar looks like such an interesting character (yeah I know you guys are wondering who’s that lol) 

How/Why did you join the fandom?

Falling face 1st into Sheith, I looked around for some fanart here on tumblr and it slowly went from there. I decided to join Sheith Big Bang that is currently on going and it’s been really fun so far. 

Care to share your favorite headcanon?

I really like the basic idea of Sheith pre-kerberos (not being a couple back then at all tho) where Keith was like this teen kid wrecking havoc everywhere for no reason. Not bullying people, but just losing his shit every so often because he was angry all the time and then Shiro met him and decided to take him under his wing, to get in his life even if he had to force his way in / tame the beast and just believe in him and giving him what any human deserves which is a sense of belonging somewhere and be loved for who they are. 

What do you think is the best part of the show?

The characters. Their lives, how they are. All the little details we can catch on all the time, but also these elements in the show that you just don’t see anywhere. I love that they made it so we could see representation and good values teaching to people seeing this serie. How a character can be so cool and not just a comic relief while being an overweight character OR a straight guy that is someone who takes care so much of his own body and appearance without it being weird OR a genderless character (or someone who doesn’t care) that despite her size is such a kickass character OR you know someone who’s so strong for everyone all the time but with such deep scars that you wonder how he keeps going OR a child who was abandoned again and again and how his life goes on. And I’m not talking about the multicultural elements (Allura not being just this pompom stereotyped girl but a woman of color with such an big temper while being such a variety of things and stories). Oh, and please, myore love for Coran people, he’s or favorite uncle. 

Any hopes and wishes for future episodes / seasons?

Please Shiro be safe, come back to us and PLEASE be the black paladin again while Keith comes back to red. I loved the old roster of paladin (no offense allura, I just loved you more while being the pilot of the castle and a diplomat and now an alchemist O_O !). I’m so praying they don’t end up doing like in the old series where Shiro just becomes the blue paladin because he’s emotionally compromised or whatnot and disappear in the background like being the black paladin is the highest title, which no ... it’s not the case and its not a competition. Also poor shiro worked so hard to bond with his lion to just ... be thrown away again ?! 

Do you think you’ll stick it out until the end of the show?

Oh I will. If my worse fears come to be, I’ll cry my world, but I’ll stick to the end.

Fanfic Ask Game

C: What member (character) do you identify with most?

Bakugou. I was never a bully like him (at least I hope I wasn’t? remembering details of your childhood is always foggy, but I don’t think I ever did. Especially to the extent Bakugou did, and I never had a ‘Deku’. If anything, I was the ‘Deku’ to a lot of people). But GOD i had a temper. A lot of bad things happened growing up, and i was very sensitive about them. I broke my cousin’s nose for making fun of one of those bad things. If anyone picked on me, I would lash out and get very physical. I had to take anger management classes and I still have to reign it in, but i’m a hell of a lot better at it with age and practice. 

I’m fairly ‘chill’ now, but it took a hell of a lot of work to get to that point. And watching Bakugou grow as a person makes me extremely proud of him, and the progress I made myself. I don’t thing he reflects the person I am now, but he does reflect a massive part of my life. And while i’ve matured, he’s still a teen and getting there. proud of you, bakugou!!

I also swear like a sailor so writing Bakugou is just constantly ‘oh mood’

F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

“I loved him.”

[…]

“I don’t… want to pretend like I didn’t. Like he didn’t hurt me so badly.” There was another moment of silence, but it wasn’t warm. It wasn’t safe. Blake felt tiny beside her, and Yang only wanted to pull her closer. Offer her fire and heal her wounds. “I’m scared.”

I love dialog so much, but get me to sit down and try to pick out my favs and oof.

This was… one of the first ones to come to mind. I take pride in it because relationships like this have been such a huge part of my life. I’ve never been in one myself, but I saw my mother in so many of them. And I don’t like disregarding the fact that an abuse victim loved their abuser at some point. Not always, of course, but ma did. And I’m sure Blake did too. Because love can hurt. And love can be so gd toxic. And when you’re so use to love hurting you, it can become hard to trust that feeling again.

And i just love that with blake and especially b/m/b/l/b. just that hesitation and fear of being hurt by love again, but when you experience real healthy love, it’s such a shock to the system. Because it’s nothing like that painful ‘love’. 

b/m/b/l/bs so good ahaha fuck wow i’m so proud of that fic

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

never feel guilt yo indulge in it all. tryin’a keep this PG so that at least narrows down the indulgence

Angst with a happy ending. I love angst. i love those hard emotions, but GOD i can’t DEAL if it has a sad ending. mutual pining? good shit. polygamy? look, i can’t stand a love triangle, just let me have both. let me have a healthy polygamy relationship. have all the drama leading up to it but gosh just /let them all just fall for each other. rivals/enemies to lovers! I love a good rival ship. or, even better, villain/hero. i am a SUCKER for villian/hero ships. hero making the villain a better person? Good shit. Villain making the hero a horrible person? great shit. both are great. even better if no one compromises their morals (other than, you know, getting with the hero/villain).vampires. werewolves. dragons. all that mythical shit? nicey-yanderes…. scary yandere ladies/gents (in fiction only, of course. they cute but thank god they’re fictional). the creepier and bloodthristier, the better

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) (gonna specify otherwise plz) you consider an influence?

imma be honest, i have,,, not read a book in a LONG time. i think the last book series i read was the hunger games when the first movie came out. I only really read fanfiction but hnnnnn let me list some authors from my childhood. a warning, i only ever really read fantasy or creepy shit. I don’t know if any really ‘influenced’ me, but they were the ones who got me into reading and writing so I suppose that counts!!

C. S. Lewis - the chronicles of narnia was the last gift i got from my grandfather before he passed away, and it’s a series close to my heart because of it. i adore the series so much.

Carole Wilkinson - while i did not like how the series ended, i adored the dragonkeeper series. it was,,, dark and gory, with dragons and murder and honestly why was the first book read to us in class? never the less, i loved the dark feel of it. it was sad and stressful, and the protagonist was exceptional. I wasn’t feeling the ending (tho i read it a long time ago. who knows, if i read it again i might appreciate it now) but it’s a series that stuck with me all through my childhood

Christopher Paolini - awful movie aside, i was obsessed with the inheritance cycle growing up. it’s another case of ‘i didn’t like the ending, but i still adore the series’. I wasn’t big on the protagonist unlike the dragonkeeper series, but i loved the minor characters. i would INHALE a series centered around murtagh and nasuada. I remember shipping them from the first book from crumbs, and losing my gd SHIT in the last book. ‘you know why’ fucking OTP RIGHT THERE. and oh look it’s my ‘villain’/hero ship!! Honestly think they probably started my love for that trope

Morris Gleitzman/Paul Jennings - Ever read an Australian book called ‘Wicked!’ because I did. In year three. I was like…. 8 when this shit was read to us by a teacher. Do you know how fucked up that was? This was a children’s book? What the actual fuck.

I probably have this book to ‘thank’ for my love for creepy shit in writing. This series was… disgusting and gruesome, with blood sucking worms that sucked out human’s and animal’s guts and left them skin and bone. murderous sheep. rotting apple head dolls. i don’t,,, even know. it was gross. I loved it. Both these authors were fuckign twisted so thanks for that

they went on to write another ‘disgusting’ story called Deadly! which i’m pretty sure was turned into a short tv series? which was… also just as gross. not as gory i think, but i still don’t understand how this was read to children uhirobfeoid

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? 

- deaf/hard of hearing bakugou: as a hard of hearing person myself, god i love this. please just,,, assume every bakugou i write has a hearing aid because let me tell you he DOES. also he knows sign language don’t fight me- chef bakugou: let the boy cook. let him,,, cook,,,, let him be proud of it too. while we’re at it, bakugou who does not take misogynistic comments like ‘cooking is for women’. feminist bakugou who will punch a sexist bastard and cook like a god. beautiful. i’ll take seconds- trans bakugou: but, lets be honest, all trans headcanons are great. and trans canon characters. love you, big sis magne and tiger!- autistic iida: I appreciate so much- shinsou replaces mineta: look, i can dream, okay?- bakugou is bad at feelings: honestly it’s not even a trope it’s just canon- bakugou swears a lot: FUCK YEAH HE DO- todoroki is a salty/petty/sassy lil shit: god bless- all might lives: [sob] pls just let the man live! (i joke, of course, always write the story you want to write. but boy will i CRY LIKE A LIL BITCH IF I HAVE TO READ IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES)- villain deku: see yandere note. especially if he’s used to mess with bakugou. villain verses in general give me life. make ALL the heroes villains!!

3. Name three favorite writers.

Ahh, this is a toughie! I’m going to list three writers from different fandoms that I admire a lot.

A. Anappleofdiscord from fanfiction.net I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have a tumblr and even tho it’s been forever since I spoken with her personally, she is an awesome person and an awesome writer. She writes for the Hetalia fandom, focusing on gen stuff centering around England and America. If you know anything about the Hetalia fandom, it’s ridiculously rare to find platonic fics about these two and her fics are like the cream of the crop. Her characterizations are on point, her fics are educational and hilarious (and also a rollarcoaster of emotions) plus she pulls off OCs superbly. If you ever check out her fics, tell her that Listenerofshadows sent you ;)

B. Glimare from fanfiction.net I don’t know her personally, but I love her work in the DC fandom. Sadly, she’s since mostly moved on to other fandoms (which is great for her, if the feeling’s not there, don’t push yourself to write fanfic for certain fandoms) but she has a TON of content and it’s all so good. Her most-well known work is a collection of one-shots known as “Daddy, Not Bats”. It’s an AU where Bruce encounters the bat-kids at a younger age and decides to retire to raise them all. It’s sweet, fluffy and angsty all rolled into one.

C. @elfpen from AO3, Fanfiction.net and Tumblr.  I stumbled across her fanfic Reprise when looking for a good star wars time-travel fanfic to satisfy my needs and boy, DOES SHE DELIVER. Most time-travel fics center around the OT era or Obiwan and/or Anakin traveling to TPM, but hers focus on OT!Obiwan traveling back to the era BEFORE TPM. It’s a great fic, I love the characterizations and her OCs are on-point. Not to mention, she also has a lot of other awesome SW and HTTYD content. 

Putting everything else under the cut because this is gonna get long quick!

4. Name three authors that were influential to your work and why.

A. Anappleofdiscord, again. Because she has actually beta’d my work before and given me great writing advice. I haven’t finished Neverlast, nor barely touched on it, but I’m thankful for her influence she’s played on it.

B. It’s hard to pinpoint my inspiration for my writing, because it’s kinda an intuitive thing? Like, I’ll be writing and a phrase comes up and I’m like “I know I stole that phrase from some fanfic lol” but i don’t know which one??? But basically all the fanfic writers I love are legions above me and I admire them all. But I have to say, I’ve started writing more third-person present tense because of a few good fanfics (but I can’t pinpoint which ones) which it’s a rare tense for a novel to pursue but I love the rhythm of it.

6. How did writing change you?

I’ve been writing before I could even write. Basically as a little four-year-old, I’d make pictures and then dictate to my older sister/mom what the pictures were about, essentially creating a storybook out of it. Since writing has been part of my life for so long, it’s so innate to me like breathing air. I know there’s a lot I could improve on writing, but it’s just a freeing way for me to express myself in a clear and concise manner. In real life, I can be awkward in how I word things and I have a tendency to trip over words or don’t fully pronounce my th-s and s-es. Fanfiction is great because I can explore my favorite concepts of a fanfic in a medium that people can enjoy reading in :)

7. Early influences of your writing

Once I discovered reading was fun (I didn’t learn to read until 2nd grade but that’s okay, because once I did I was reading several grades above my level) I devoured books. Some of my favorite books as a child are: PJO, Chronicles of Narnia, Boxcar Children and Black Beauty. I also did some RPG’ing at a young age, which greatly improved my writing as the constant writing at a rapid pace forced my writing to improve exponentially. There were roleplayers that I admired greatly that I imitated because I wanted my writing to be as good as theirs.

10. how do you do your researches?

Google, man, Google. For example let’s say my fanfic is a historical AU. I know a lot about history, but I might look up a historical site to proofcheck my dates or phrases of the time. Fanfic is nice, because it gives you an excuse to rewatch your favorite show if you wanna make sure you nail the characterizations. I might just look at a fan wiki if it’s a minor detail like what’s Ahsoka’s smaller lightsaber called. 

13. Hardest character to write

Oohhh boy! I think everyone can agree that Yoda and Darth Vader are the two toughest SW characters to write for. It’s hard to get into the head of a 900 yr old troll and Vader is just…really hard? Palpatine is also hard not to make him the typical cookie-cutter villian (Which he is, but I’d like to try to give him some depth). I feel like I write a different take of Anakin every time I write a different AU involving him, but I think that’s because the AUs are at different points of his life and also the AU effects his reaction to things.

14. Easiest character to write.

I know it’s contradictory, but Anakin. He’s definitely chaotic good and it’s fun to write that archtype. I haven’t written much Obiwan (actually I have, but I can’t post it until I write the chapters bridging to him :/) but he’s more lawful good compared to Anakin and throwing those two into the same fic is fun to see. Padme is a fun one to write as well as Ahsoka.

17. Favorite AU to write

I have so many AUs so again, hard choice. Gotta say Impetus, since it’s the most I have written for and I love it. It deals more with the traumatizing effects that slavery/the Jedi have inflicted on Anakin plus an even more problematic Palpatine. I didn’t mean to recreate Palpatine in that fashion he’s basically a pedophile in this AU, the characters kinda just made it happen and I ran with it. It was supposed to be a humorous/fluffy what-if but like everything I touch, it’s also angsty ( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

19. Favorite fandom to write for

My favorite fandom to write for naturally changes with my interests. I was obsessed with YJ for a while, then Hetalia and now SW. Star Wars is fun to write for because there’s a big audience and it’s pretty easy to find a pocket audience who love the same types of things that you do. YJ will always be my first love. I’m currently writing a fanfic for a YJ fandom event, but I’ve been kinda struggling? I’ve lost my enthusiasm writing-wise even tho I still love it to bits.

20. Favorite Character to Write.

Anakin, probably. It’s funny because I used to never like the PT, but the Clone Wars changed all that. It’s a shame that Lucas went the direction he did for Anakin in PT because TCW uncovered a problematic but likeable hero and I wish we could’ve seen that live-action (It’s not Hayden’s fault btw, the director is the one responsible for what portrayal the actor gives)

27. Best review you ever got.

Okay, so. I used to share an account on FF.Net with a friend and I wrote of a lot of YJ fanfics. One of them was a gen one-shot involving Bart and Jaime that received a good amount of attention. AND A REALLY GOOD FANFIC AUTHOR THAT I ADMIRED AND LOOKED UP TO REVIEWED MY FIC AND I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN OVER IT. I never in a million years imagined that my favorite authors potentially read my fanfics, let alone review/favorite it.

39. Do you want to be published some day?

Kinda. As a kid I’ve always wanted to get published but now I’m not so sure. I’ve never finished any fics other than one-shots and that really has gotten to me. My current goal is to finish at least one of my fanfics but I think I’ve been putting it off because I’m afraid it’s impossible to acccomplish. It’s silly, I know. I just need to do it.

40. Which one of your stories do would you most like to see as a movie/series?

Hmmm….probably my one-shot involving those two bounty hunter OCs. I could just see them trying to survive the universe with the least amount of weird space stuff happening but they seem to get pulled into it anyway. Those two are actually the easiest OCs for me to write, btw.

42. Do you plan or do you write whatever comes to mind?

I’m a weird creature. In life, I like to know things ahead of time. I like things to run exactly the way I planned. I don’t like unexpected variables. but in writing…I rarely outline. I usually write whatever is on my mind. Pure inspiration is awesome…until it runs out and feels like you’re pulling teeth to just to write a single sentence. That’s when I attempt to outline things.

45. Share the synopsis of a story you haven’t published yet

“Whatis love? To a young child slave, it is the words his mother used to caress himafter a brutal beating by their master. It is wrapped in the kisses she givesto each bruise and lullabies that lull him to sleep.” A meta on Anakin’s varying views of love a crappy summary authored by moi

46. Share a scene of a story you haven’t published yet.

Welp. Might as well share from the above fic.

Whatis love? To a young child slave, it is the words his mother used to caress himafter a brutal beating by their master. It is wrapped in the kisses she givesto each bruise and lullabies that lull him to sleep.

Hismaster can freely touch every part of him he wishes. He can say words to him—hecan do anything he like to him.

Hecan say things like, “You know I love you, boy?” and the slave obedientlyanswers, “Yes, master.”

He’sso very young, but he knows that his master’s words and touch are not love.Only his mother’s is. He doesn’t know how to describe it. But he can feel thewarmth behind them, like hovering over a fire on a cold desert night. They arelike a thick blanket made of bantha furs, soft and comforting. They melt awayhis tears and fill his lungs with laughter.

Everyday, his mother tells him “I love you Ani.” and Ani, the slave boy, freelyreplies, “I love you too, Mom!”

Hefollows by her example, smothering her with hugs and tells her silly stories tohear her laughter that rings like the bells at the market stands. Because heknows love is the best medicine to heal anyone. It makes them feel fuzzy insideand they don’t feel so sad knowing someone cares about them.

Hismom gets sad a lot, so he does his best to repel the sadness away. He doesn’tget angry when she’s sad, because she isn’t angry when he’s sad.

“It’sokay to be sad,” She tells him one night as she runs her hands through hishair, “Everyone gets sad, just like how everyone gets angry or happy.”

“Mastersdon’t like it when we’re angry though.” Anakin pouted.

Shepauses; looking down at her son with a sad smile, “No matter what they say,you’re allowed to feel angry, Ani. Bundle it up, and keep it to yourself—andrelease it when they aren’t looking.”

“Areyou ever angry, mom?” He yawned as he snuggled closer.

“Yes.”His mother breathed deeply, and he could feel a bit of her anger—for aninstant.

It ishot—not warm like Love’s fire. No, it burns and consumes him for a moment. Itreminds him of all the bruises and welts that his masters have given him. Angeris selfish and doesn’t love. He doesn’t like seeing the giver of his Love feelthis way. He internally sighs in relief when her anger melts away as he told atale about a funny customer that came in that day.

Hehas never truly felt anger. He flinches from its’ touch and refuses to feel theemotion that his masters are fond of.

50. Your favourite character from any of your fandoms (pick one or several characters you like) is writing a fanfic STARRING YOU AS A CHARACTER. Regarding this fact, what kind of fanfic do you think he/she/they are writing about and how would you feel about you literally being in it?)

I feel like everyone relates when I say I don’t think my life is interesting. I’d pick Cassie from YJ because I feel like she’d be the type to write fanfic. I will say one ironic moment in my life is that I starred in a play as a shy bookworm girl who got the lead role in her school play alongside her crush, the star basketball player, incidentally they ended up together in the end. Everyone irl teased me about this but the truth is….I actually had a crush on the actor himself. We’ve known each other for years and are good friends. And the closest I ever gotten to “kissing” him was a moment in the play where our characters almost kissed before being interrupted by other students. But of course nothing real came of the play and we still remain good friends.  I always note in my head that the hollywood version is that we…would’ve hooked up in the end. I’m sure if I was a fictional character and Cassie shipped me with him and we didn’t get together in the end, she’d be writing a fix-it fic where our pairing is the true pairing in the end. If i wasn’t fictional, I’d feel really weirded out by it. I don’t like fic involving real people in it, especially if it involves ships. I’m almost 90% sure this guy doesn’t have a crush on me and just regards as friends. Which is okay, because I’m not sure if I even want a relationship at the moment.
