Twenty Questions: Fic Author Edition

Thank you @bodyelectric77 for tagging me! I always love participating in these fun things. I am quite new to fanfic though (two months more or less) so I'll do my best to answer as much as I can <3

1-How many works do you have on ao3?

2

2-What's your total AO3 word count?

23,538 words

3-What fandoms do you write for?

The Hunger Games. But I'm not closed to maybe writing for others.

4-What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Cold Coffee

Fated From The Start

I've only published two atm :)

5-Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

yesyesyesyes

I absolutely love comments. No matter how long they are I appreciate them so much. To know that people read my stuff AND that they like it AND wanna let me know, it completely makes my day. So I try to answer all of them, even if its just to say thank you. I especially love when the commenter references a specific part of the fic that they liked or made them laugh. It hits a spot.

6-What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

uhhhh.

at the moment I don't have any out. None of my fics have ended lmao. But something may or may not be in the works. Idk, not sure yet.

7-What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

once again, none of my fics have ended but I think Fated From The Start's will be the happiest.

8-Do you get hate on fics?

No at the moment, no. But if I keep writing its possible I will. But we'll cross that bridge when it comes to it.

9-Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Nope. Not really my strong suit or focus when writing. I've written a few suggestive scenes but nothing too intense or graphic. It's very difficult to write good smut so kudos to all writers who do.

10-Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No

11-Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No and hoping it stays that way lmao

12-Have you ever had a fic translated?

No

13-Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No

14-What's your all-time favorite ship?

Honestly Everlark. I really like both characters individually and think they're ship is pretty fitting. But if you had asked 12 year old me, she would've said Marshal lee from Adventure Time and me.

15-What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

There's a piece about Katniss not liking Peeta back till they were much older and both married sitting in my drafts buuuut I don't think I'll ever get to finishing it.

16-What are your writing strengths?

I actually don't know lmao. At least I'm not sure when it comes to fics. But I've been told I'm good at evoking emotion when it comes to sadness in other pieces I've written. I guess I still have to develop them.

17-What are your writing weaknesses?

I can get impatient quickly, leading me to sometimes not expand on something at first and just quickly writing it out. It sucks. And in the end slows me down even more. Since I have to come back and write things over. So a lot of times my descriptions fall short. It cringes me out when I read something back that I wrote in a hurry.

18-Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I would love to. I'm actually trilingual but Spanish is my first language so I'd love to write a fic in it. I think some things are just better written in Spanish, at least for me. Maybe one day I'll include it in one of the fics.

19-First fandom you wrote for?

The Hunger Games

20-Favorite fic you've ever written?

Fated From The Start! It's the one I spend more time in.

This was super fun and I'm tagging @thelettersfromnoone should they choose to do it, and anyone else who sees this since the rest of my mutuals have been tagged <3

DA Questions

Thanks for the tag, @bitchesofostwick ! I’m gonna tag @dirthara-mama @red-wardens @will-and-her-fandoms (and anyone else who wants to do this - tag me, yo)

01) favorite game of the series? DA2. The horniest, most punk rock, and least popular of the games

02) how did you discover Dragon Age? Round when Inquisition was about to come out, my friend was gonna play Origins again to refresh himself and made the mistake of letting me roll a character. Then he spent the rest of the game watching me play

03) how many times you’ve played the games? UHhhh I have no idea. I’ve probably finished the games twice each, but I’ve got a lot of unfinished plays

04) favorite race to play as? Probably human. Though I like the city elves a lot

05) favorite class? Warrior. I like hit things

06) do you play through the games differently or do you make the same decisions each time? I try to make different decisions. I’ve definitely played most of the romances. I also almost NEVER play a non-mage Hawke. I just like Hawke as a mage. And that way Carver lives so I get to see my son

07) go-to adventuring group? I switch it up a lot, but I like Alistair, Oghren, and Zevran; Fenris, Isabela, and Varric; Iron Bull, Cole and Dorian; Cassandra, Sera, and Vivienne

08) which of your characters did you put the most thought into? Halsa. That’s just cause she’s the first one, though. ((and also cause I love her the most))

09) favorite romance? That’s a good question. Dorian’s and Fenris’ are both very fucking good imo

10) have you read any of the comics/books? None except part of the godawful Orson Scott Card one. The comics are kind of expensive and my library system doesn’t have them 

11) if you read them, which was your favorite book? Haven’t really read them. I should, though

12) favorite DLCs? Probably Awakening. I absolutely loved Jaws of Hakkon and The Descent, though. I have only played them once cause I sold my ps4, but I would love to play again

13) things that annoy you. The four billion little bullshit fetch quests and whatever in Inquisition

14) Orlais or Ferelden? Listen, I’m from the Midwest. Fantasy Ohio forever

15) templars or mages? As far as my characters, Halsa and Marian are vehemently against the Circle and the Chantry, Garrett is a moderate (read: coward) but defends the mages in Kirkwall, Jane allies with the Templars. If I were there, I’d side with the mages, but no one would ever put me in charge so I’m not sure that’s relevant 

16) if you have multiple characters, are they in different/parallel universes or in the same one? I have two world states, which I’m working on fleshing out at the moment. 

One has Halsa Tabris, Garrett Hawke, and Amalia Trevelyan (as well as a couple other OCs I haven’t named yet)

Two has a Warden Aeducan I don’t know that well yet, Marian Hawke, and Jane Trevelyan

17) what did you name your pets? (mabari, summoned animals, mounts, etc) Halsa’s dog is named Onion, Garrett’s is Annabelle (Beth named her), Marian’s is Ivan, Jane has a horse named Dirthamen (because she is a giant nerd), Amalia has a few outdoor cats, one of which is named Tidbit

18) have you installed any mods? Nah, I play on a ps3 like a peasant

19) did your Warden want to become a Grey Warden? Halsa did, sure. She was ready to prove herself. I don’t know a lot about my other Warden, but I know they definitely did Not.

20) hawke’s personality? Garrett’s straight purple Hawke - Charismatic and cocky, never takes anything seriously. He’s a soft-hearted people-pleaser, often pretty spineless.

Marian’s between blue and red. She’s well-mannered and diplomatic, but headstrong and fierce and not afraid to stab a bitch if it comes to that

21) did you make matching armor for your companions in Inquisition? Not rrreeallly, though I do always make sure they look hot

22) if your character(s) could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change? I’m gonna stick w the events of the games cause otherwise it’d get really messy: Halsa would be a little smarter about political maneuvering within the Landsmeet and as an Arlessa - Garrett would get involved in the mage/templar conflict way sooner and be less judgmental and more supportive of Anders and Merrill (tbh, boy’s got a lot of regrets) - Jane would set her intentions sooner with the Inquisition and not let Cassandra lead her for so long - Marian is kind of a no regerts kinda girl. She just doesn’t think that way

23) do you have any headcanons about your character(s) that go against canon? Oh yeah. The characters in my first world state are way more intertwined. Halsa spends time in Kirkwall, leaves with Anders, later joins the Inquisition. Garrett and Fenris join the Inquisition together. Halsa’s not looking for the cure bc it’s not in character for her. Amalia leaves the Circle and spends some time as Garrett’s sort of protégée before going to the Conclave.

There’s more about Jane but I haven’t gotten that far in her story so

24) are any of your character(s) based on someone? I mean, they’ve all got a lil bit of me in them. Halsa’s probably got the most me. I think about a couple friends of mine while writing both the Hawkes

25) who did you leave in the Fade? In game, I left Hawke on my first play through (how dare I) and Stroud on another? But idk I don’t like the way it’s set up very much so mine will be different in fiction

26) favorite mount? Ima keep it real w you, chief: I do not use the mounts. I’ll miss the banter!! Which is already kind of hard to trigger in dai?

Tag Post

I was tagged by @springbearhime, thank you so much!!!!! ♡ ♡ I don’t think I’ve ever been tagged in one of these things so it made me unreasonably happy :’)

Posting this under a cut because it ended up being super long!

Nickname: Nic, Rose, Shy

Pronouns: She/Her

Age: 20 as of this March!

Time: 10:31 am

Fave Artist: Radiohead right now. PS friendly reminder to blacklist the tag radiohead if you don’t wanna see me spamming, I just queued like 50 radiohead posts bc I have a problem lol

Song stuck in my head: This excellent, underappreciated one hit wonder, She Blinded Me With Science. Also, this live version of Radiohead’s Videotape, because it includes a cool part in the middle that isn’t on the recorded/studio version and I love it.

Last movie I saw: The Incredibles 2

Last thing I googled: Trying to figure out how to properly use the Amazon Alexa my mom bought, lol.

Other blogs: I have a Tera Online blog, which is dead rn because I’m not playing Tera very much anymore and the blog is on another email address so it takes too much effort to access it lol. I also partially abandoned it because I got the feeling people didn’t really like me on there.. got a whole lot of mean anons and all my mutuals stopped talking to me and uhHhh idk what I did but sorry y’all... I think I just complained way too much there honestly.  I also have a private rant/journaling blog, because I need to write things down to help me deal with it/get it out of my system.

Do I get asks: I wish!! Sometimes people do message me though but I always get shy ahah. Send me anons! I will answer anything! Hit me tf up!

Why I chose my url: Oh boy, I made this blog when I was probably 16. Autumn was my favorite season and I adore cats. I didn’t use this blog at first because I already had one I was active on and had a lot of friends/mutuals. When I was like 18, this guy I was dating at the would go on that blog and have a huge freakout over nearly everything on it (you posted a selfie and responded to someone that complimented you with a heart??? ARE YOU CHEATING????, etc), so I moved here. I feel kinda bad, I had like 10 messages from different people saying “this blog has zero posts and I want this url can i pls have :(”

Following: 631 LOL. Most people aren’t even active anymore so I should probably go through and clear that out...

What I am wearing: I don’t have work today so I’m still what I slept in - soft Mickey Mouse print boxer shorts and the shirt I wore yesterday lol

Dream job: I don’t really know what I want to do!! Something that makes me happy and doesn’t suck the life out of me, which idk is possible. The idea of working for the rest of my life really depresses me. I am very interested in a ton of things but am not talented at any of them (music, art, film directing or editing, computer programming/coding, writing/editing) so I’m hoping to take some classes at my community college and see if there’s something I’m able to pick up. As a kid I wanted to be an actress (I had no anxiety until I was like 12, it was wild - I was a theater kid haha), then all through middle and high school I wanted to be in a band or be an author/editor, and when I was like 18 I wanted to be an English teacher for quite a while but I’ve realized I’m too shy and definitely not assertive enough.

Dream trip: Japan and all over Europe. Also Australia/New Zealand!!

Fave food: Oof this is hard... I honestly just love food in general. Sometimes it’s burgers and fries, sometimes Chinese food, sometimes Pad Thai, sometimes sushi, sometimes pizza, sometimes pasta... Food is delicious, lol. Right now I’d say probably burgers and fries?

Play any instrument: I took piano lessons for a few years as a kid but hated practicing bc there was pressure from my parents and eventually quit. I wanted to learn how to play the drums but my parents said it was “too loud” so I played trumpet for 4 years in the middle school band and jazz band (because trumpet is SUCH a quiet instrument, lol). I self taught myself guitar in 8th grade and was in a band that never got off the ground, but I haven’t touched guitar since I was probably 16 and really wanna get back into it. I’d love to learn play bass guitar and drums!! Also, fun fact... I was SUPER obsessed with harps as a kid and really wanted to learn how to play one until I was like, 11.

Play(ed) any sport: Aside from being a theater/band kid, I was also v sporty since my dad really wanted boys, hahaha. I played soccer, volleyball, and basketball! I played soccer the longest but I ended up being better at basketball than anything else... but I loved volleyball the most, lmfao. I made some “tryout only” teams for all three sports, which was cool, but any and all sportiness died when I was like 13 or so because Depression Says No and honestly my heart wasn’t in it anymore, it started out as a fun activity but after I was about 10 or 11 I was just doing it because my parents wanted me to and I was really miserable. It was a blessing when they let me quit.

Hair color: Blondeish?? I think?? It’s kinda strawberry blonde in some light.

Languages spoken: English, and three years of classes worth of Japanese. I love languages but it’s super, SUPER hard for my brain to learn them. I want to get back into Japanese, though, because it came pretty easily and was a lot of fun! I tried to learn Spanish for a while since I was living in Argentina, but I was horrible at it and kept adding in Japanese on accident because apparently my brain could only handle two languages and not three, lol.

Random fact: Hmm...  I was incapable of rolling my R’s until new years eve this year.. I was v drunk and apparently was just sitting at the table going rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... after months of trying to learn how to do it and not even knowing the proper technique I was just rolling my R without even trying/knowing I was doing it. I’ve been able to since that day, lmfao.

Describe yourself with an aesthetic: Oh boy I don’t even know how to do this??And it depends on my mood??? My brain can’t decide who I am or what my aesthetic is, sometimes it’s crazy cat lady with a huge library in her house, sometimes it’s girl at the county fair with a flowy dress and sunflowers in her hair, sometimes (often) it’s “hi I no longer have black hair anymore but I still feel emo/goth in my soul™, sometimes it’s some bullshit 90s vaporwave stuff, sometimes it’s just “haha i’m here for the memes”, sometimes it’s telescopes and observatories and stars and astronomy, sometimes it’s cutesy pastel... idk what my aesthetic is.

Also here’s a relatable picture of me, ty for reading. I tag... anyone that wants to do this bc I really don’t know who to tag ahhhHhhHHHhhh

[kelandry5]

Question tag for AO3 writers~~

Tagged by @herdustisverypretty and @justsimplyl

I found the original questions on AFF a while back, and I thought since I’ve been tagged in so many meme things lately, I’d also tag a bunch more people in this one XD Since the questions were designed for AFF, I’ve reworked some of them to fit for AO3 writers. I also removed two questions rather than trying to translate them to AO3 terms. So, I’ll fill out my answers first, and then put the blank questions again at the bottom for you to easily copy and paste!

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

It’s my writing name/the name I use for writing plus a number

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

Uhhh Sold and Broken has the most hits, Unexpected has the most bookmarks and kudos and subscriptions (Whyyyyyyyy??????)

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

It’s a picture of Akashi and Kuroko because I love them and mostly write for that pair anyway

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

Yes.

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again? 

Yes.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

118 bookmarks. Idk if it counts subscriptions anywhere but there are four pages

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

mental illness if you can call that an au. 

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

Subscribed: 755

Bookmarks: 432

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

I mean...considering what I have already written about, no, not really. Though maybe I am a bit afraid of writing smut but it’s more a fear I’ll suck at it and be judged for sucking at it than for simply writing it.

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

I would LOVE to be better at updating!!!!! (I am sooooo sorry I suck).

I would love to be better at writing in general though, too. And maybe better at fluff/romance in particular.

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

Popular...but I have a couple unpublished rarepare fics started...

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

19

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

Uh...34 saved separately plus at least five documents with pieces of multiple stories I don’t feel like counting.

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

Ha. I write them down. Otherwise they would disappear

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

No. But I’ve helped with the planning. I don’t think I would be any good at doing more than that.

16. How did you discover AO3?

Probably google. I honestly don’t remember. (It was like maybe a year ago but it’s not like I thought “oh I should remember finding this and how it happened because this site is going to mean something to me one day and someone will ask me how I found it!”)

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

Hahaha not at all. 

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

No???

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Yeah. I don’t remember off the top of my head all the ones who inspired me to write fanfiction and I’m too lazy to look right now, but there definitely were. And pretty much every writer inspires me.

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Forget the rules. Forget the “do not’s.” Forget trying to be right or perfect. Forget trying to please others. Write what you want, what you feel, what you love, what you need to say, what you think. Everything else will come.

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

Uhhhh....I pretty much figure it out as I go. Unless I’m rewriting. 

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Idk if it was exactly bad. I had someone tell me something in a story was unrealistic and would never happen and couldn’t work like that etc etc and how they will read the story but they will be cringing. I generally just try to explain why I did what I did or what my thoughts were on the matter and then remind them they don’t have to read if they don’t like it. Maybe ignoring it altogether would be better but I’m not the best at that. I usually explain first then ignore. whoops

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

I can’t write smut or physical affection really at all. It’s just.... bad. I struggle with anything light hearted/fluffy too unless there is some underlying angst.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

I’m sort of in a rut rn to be honest. But I am still thinking about all my unfinished ones. There is one in particular I’ve been sort of working on more, but it’s not a published one. I hope to update Weightless, Unexpected, and Fragile by the end of December at the very least if I can get my life in order a bit.

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

Of course!!! 

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

Nope. I doubt I could ever write every day and it would feel too much like work if I forced it.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Oh god I would certainly hope so!! But yes.

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

Weightless Phantom

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

Haha... it’s actually my two most popular ones. Unexpected and Sold and Broken (though I think Sold and Broken is just popular because it has multiple fandoms so a larger possible audience)

I just think the writing and plots kinda fell apart for both. 

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

I don’t know. Thinking about the future rn is more than I can really handle.

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Uhhhh is there supposed to be something easy about it?? I guess fixing spelling and grammar is the easiest thing.

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Writing...

Jk jk. Well yes, but I guess more specifically, getting started. Once I’m on a roll it’s not so hard but starting is hard. 

33. Why do you write?

To express myself, to cope, to spread a message, to live another life, there are lots of reasons. 

Anyways that’s all the questions, so I’ll put them here as well without the answers to easily c+p.

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean? 2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos) 3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it? 4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters? 5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again? 6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked? 7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most? 8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total?

The Reading Tag

soooo I was tagged by @lmartinezwrites for this tag, thanks so much for that! Honestly I was debating doing this one because I’ve really been slacking on reading, well, much of anything for the past few years, but I figure I’ll try and do my best!

1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest?

Not just one book, but the Guardians of Ga’Hoole series has been with me for a long-ass time, since I was like, 11 or 12? I really value those books, whether or not they’re masterpieces or anything is a subject for another time, but they were really the catalyst (next to another Kathryn Lasky series “Wolves of the Beyond”) for getting me into writing my own characters and stories. 

2. What is your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next?

Current: The Handmaid’s Tale by  Margaret Atwood

Last: So Much I Want to Tell You: Letters to My Little Sister by Anna Akana

Next: Unstoppable by Bill Nye (I’ve been really into non-fiction, biography type books lately, which I used to hate?? weird)

3. Which book does everyone like and you hated?

PERCY JACKSON. The first book in the series specifically. I’m gonna get crucified for saying that, and I do not care, I’m sorry all the Percy Jackson fans out there but I just DETESTED that book. I hated the style of it, mainly. I just couldn’t get into it, I’m so sorry, I’ll pay for my sins in the corner. 

4. Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t?

Classics, probably. My grandma loaned me some classic books like, YEARS ago, and I still haven’t touched them. I should probably just give those back!

5. Which book are you saving for “retirement?”

Harry Potter?? Idk that’s a cop-out answer because I genuinely don’t know (but I’ve never touched a Harry Potter book ever so maybe if I read those I can get the angry mob off my back)

6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end?

Of course I have to read it first, my curiosity can’t help it.

7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside?

I like acknowledgments, I think they’re just very nice! If you work years on a book, I for one would want to acknowledge some people! It’s a very thoughtful gesture in my opinion.

8. Which book character would you switch places with?

Gosh I don’t know, can I be like, Jay Gatsby, and have all his riches, and then just kinda SKIP the death and heartbreak and shady shit? 

I’d have a better answer if I wasn’t so out of the loop book wise, there’s probably a better answer that I just can’t think of but will as soon as I hit “post”.

9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)?

Warrior Cats books really remind me of me navigating my way through writing bad fanfiction and learning how the whole process worked. It was a nice, exploratory time, seriously. 

10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.

Uhhhh okay so there used to be this weird book in my middle school library, which I won’t go into too much detail about because I could honestly write a fucking novel on it, but basically it was this weird, giant book with a golden cover and was full of these strangely graphic drawings of saints getting tortured?? And everybody in my class would check it out at a time because we were morbid curious kids and the library had no clue about this weird book. Then one year I go to look for it and it’s just... Gone. I still think about it to this day and am on a hunt for it. 

This might not have been a good answer to this but I nEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS FUCKING BOOK, DUDE. It was like, mexican I think? Had mexican undertones for sure. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, please hit me up. For real.

11. Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special person?

Nope! I’ve bought books for people as gifts but never given one away.

12. Which book has been with you to the most places?

Gosh I don’t even know! I don’t travel much with books, honestly. 

13. Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad ten years later?

Unfortunately I’ve disliked much of the required reading in school mainly because I hate being told what I need to read. Buuuuut I guess The Great Gatsby wasn’t TOO bad? I guess?

14. What is the strangest item you’ve ever found in a book?

an old recipe, nothing groundbreaking

15. Used or brand new?

New, who wants somebody’s old, dog-earred book? I like dog-earring the pages all by myself!

16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses? 

I haven’t read much of any of his work but my mom and millions of others love him so?? okay I suppose, not harmful to me at all

17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book?

Just gonna say it, I found the Hunger Games trilogy movies to be better than the books.. I was able to focus/understand the basics of the story a lot better with the movie. 

18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid?

The Divergent series was fucking awful. Enough said. (the book kinda sucked too in my opinion but the mOVIES. OH NO.)

19. Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question?

I don’t think so? I probably have and just aren’t thinking of it. 

20. Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?

my friends! They have good taste, I trust them. 

and now I’ll take a couple of random people off an oh-so-helpful write-blr database because fuck if I know anybody who writes/reads on this site save for two people:

@robinbibliophile, @ablogofscribbles, @isnappedmypencil, @jamieanovels, @rosy-writes, @write-out-of-time, @writebruh, @scriptmedic, @maisiethewriter

and anybody else who sees this and wants to participate, feel free!

Friend Dramu

(... do people still say dramu? God I’m so old)

So I have this friend... let’s call her Sarah. Sarah is great. I adore her. I actually have a pretty big crush on her. Found out not too long ago that she actually has a crush on me as well (didn’t know how I felt about her, started dating someone, then found out), but is currently in a relationship so, oh well, missed connections or whatever.

Anyway.

Sarah’s boyfriend is a creep. Like. ‘Gives me the legit willies’ creep. You know how when you see a guy who looks like a foot and acts like a jackass with some great girl and you’re like “.. how the fuck--.” Yeah. Their relationship is the embodiment of that. Sarah loves him... let’s call him Jim. Sarah loves Jim. She adores him. I can’t see why. I actually knew Jim (though admittedly not very well) before they even met, and he’s always weirded me out. Always. He never actually did anything, so I just let it go, but he just gave me a weird vibe that made me super uncomfortable, so I pretty much avoided him.

But, him and Sarah started dating, and I adore Sarah, and she adores him so... we’re kinda forced together. But, like I said, Jim is a creep. And an ass. Who has a probably serious drinking problem. I didn’t know this prior to them dating, but apparently he has a history of getting drunk and beating women. Anyway, long story short, Sarah, Jim and I, along with a few of their friends all hung out for a FriendsGiving in the fucking boonies last year. Sarah got literally black out drunk. Like, had no idea where she was, falling all over herself, apparently chipped a tooth at some point, had zero memory of anything the next day black out drunk. But, Sarah has a crush on me, and wants to diddle me. But. I’m not that girl. If you’re so drunk you can’t walk, don’t know where you are, then you can’t consent. And I’m not fucking someone who can’t give consent.

Unfortunately, Jim is fully aware of Sarah’s crush (I don’t know if he knows I reciprocate her feelings, but w/e, it’s irrelevant). So Jim spent the evening first gently hinting at Sarah wanting to fuck me, then flat out just trying to shove us into a room together so we could fuck. Again. I’m not that type of girl. I’m not going to take advantage of someone who has no idea where the fuck they are, so I keep pretending to be oblivious, or just ignoring him. Jim gets extremely drunk as well, and starts getting handsy with me. Which, I’m not kosher with. He ‘accidentally’ enters a room where he knows I’m changing (and people outside the room are shouting at him to not enter because I was changing), ‘accidentally’ just happens to walk in front of me fucking naked (he is not an attractive man, tbh) several times. ‘Accidentally’ tries to pull me into his lap. “Accidentally” keeps touching me. Then he tries to talk me into taking a shower with him (yeaaaah, no) and then, what topped it off, was he literally tried to force his way into the bathroom with me. Like, he’s easily twice my fucking size, and I’m “legs braced against the sink body pressed against the door” trying to stop this fucking guy from breaking the door down so he can try and force me to fuck his black out drunk girlfriend. I’m telling him to go away, that I’m trying to pee (I actually was) and that I don’t want him to come in. He’s just shouting over me and throwing himself against the door. I’m like .5 seconds away from calling the cops when he suddenly stops and walks away. I pee, but before I get out of the bathroom, he and Sarah had gotten into some sort of argument, which resulted in him shoving her across the room, kicking open a door and storming out of the house. Which, I’m 150% not fucking okay with. Not to mention he talks to her like she’s a fucking idiot, when she’s easily one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. Like, that’s not the crush talking. She’s got an incredibly scientific mind and it’s fucking amazing.

ANYWAY.

After the FriendsGiving fiasco, I told Sarah that Jim made me extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I literally had a panic attack and had to drive home, panicking and slightly drunk, from the fucking boonies where there’s not even fucking street lights at like 2am. It was kinda awkward for a while, and still is really awkward. Because Sarah adores Jim. And wants to bring him EVERY WHERE. Like, I wanted to go see John Wick 2 when it was in theaters. She asked me if I wanted to go with her, and I of course said yes, because I hadn’t seen her in a while. I - several times - mentioned how happy I was to have a ‘just us girls’ type of day, and Sarah agreed. And then right before we were supposed to meet up, I get a “We’ll be heading out soon” message.

... uhhhh who the fuck is WE? Her and fucking Jim, that’s who. So, I didn’t go (and still haven’t seen it, no spoilers). Happened again. And again. In fact, I haven’t seen her in person in months. I’ve specifically stated, numerous times, that I just want to hang out with just her, not Jim. Granted, I’ve sugar coated it more than I probably should have, but I feel “just us girls” and “just us two”, among other things, is pretty clear. So, we didn’t talk for a while, and I really missed her. She messaged me, twice, recently. First time she asked if I wanted to go see a play with her (she just said, “with me”). And I legit wasn’t positive if I’d be able to or not, so I said maybe. She mentioned “we” and then said that our ‘mutual friend’ Jen (like we’ve met but barely know each other) would be joining. Ok. Cool. I can do Jen. Then, she lets it slip that Jim is coming. SO, no. I don’t go.

The other day, she asks me if I’m going to this EDM event this coming weekend. I had plans in the morning, and it’s in the afternoon, so I said “maybe”. She started talking about how  much she wanted to see me and how excited she was to spend time with me (assuming I went) and how we needed to spend some time together and catch up, yada yada yada. So while I’d initially not planned on going, I started considering it. And then she dropped the “Yeah, you can carpool with me and Jim!”

... no, Sarah. No. 

Like, I KNOW she knows that Jim makes me uncomfortable. I’ve told her. She apologized for it, said that he’s dialing back his drinking, yada yada yada. I wasn’t really in the mood to hear it at the time (because it’s BS) and still aren’t, but she knows. I guess she’s still trying to force us to be friends or something, I dunno. 

I’m just bummed because I’d like to spend time with her, and just her (or her and literally anyone who is not Jim, tbh) but she just keeps worming him into any plans we make. Get our nails done and get wine? Cool. Jim is going to meet us for wine. Go shopping? Cool, Jim is tagging along. Literally specified Girl’s Movie Night at my place? Welp, guess who’s SUPER INTO all of the movies we’re planning on watching and just HAS to tag along? Fucking Jim. And frankly, it’s not any of my business who she dates. She’s an adult, I can not and will not tell her how to live her life. But it just rubs me the wrong way. He treats her and talks to her like she’s an idiot and she either is so spun she doesn’t see it, or doesn’t care. He’s gotten physical with her at least once, but I suspect probably more. Especially because it’s a thing that’s happened with his exes, and if you’re the type of person who’d hit a S.O. then it doesn’t matter who you’re with. And I’m just at a loss for what to do. I don’t want to lose her as a friend, but I don’t want to hang out with Jim, or be around Jim, or even in the same building as Jim (he SERIOUSLY creeps me out and makes me uncomfortable). And she’s either not getting that, or ignoring it. And it sucks

TL;DR: I’ve got a really awesome friend who has a really shitty boyfriend who makes me extremely uncomfortable. Said boyfriend, in addition to just being shitty, is also violent, a raging drunk, an asshole and a creep. I’ve told awesome friend (admittedly, I sugar coated it, but still made it clear imho)  that her boyfriend makes me uncomfortable, but she keeps trying to seemingly force us to hang out and keeps inviting him places, even when I specify that it’s ‘just us girls’ or ‘just us two’ yada yada yada. As a result, since shitty boyfriend literally makes me uncomfortable to the point it ruins my day, I won’t go anywhere with him. Which, since she keeps trying to bring him to any and everything we plan, means I haven’t been able to hang out with her at all. Which, super sucks. Annnd idk what to do about it.

QUESTIONS

what is your special talent/skill as a roleplayer? easy to read writing i guess?? 

what is your favorite type of roleplay genre, and why? fluff and smut because i am weak and that’s some good shit i am the master of fluff btw come at me for some cute shit

why did you pick your muse? phichit was my favorite since i saw the character sheets like i didn’t need the anime to pick tbh and he also fits well with my usual choice of bright cheerful boys?? why couldn’t i pick yuuri that’d be so much easier maybe i’d have more rps with people orz

if you could write any other muse - but know you don’t have the muse for him/her - who would it be? a lot of lesser known characters, like Nazuna-nii from enstars or I really would like trying Tokiya and I’ve always wanted to do a female muse, a super cute one like maybe Momoi? She’s my best girl ok. But I can’t get the muse for a chara in an inactive rp comm and I don’t have the attention span for more than one blog and I’ve learned people ain’t the quickest to interact with a multimuse now so shrug

what is one thing you think you need to work on as a partner? I’m terribly slow at longer threads, and I have a bad habit of leaving them in my drafts for a while and the longer I leave it there the less interested I get. And maybe I shouldn’t be so salty about things that don’t really have to do with rping. Andd I probably should talk to more people and get rps going with ones I haven’t interacted with, but I am a shy bean and also there are just so many ideas I can think of for rps with main characters like Yuuri or Viktor

what would be your warning label to other roleplayers? I’m one of the few who thrive on short threads and I don’t feel motivated enough to get on and instead spend the day being depressed in bed and also I’m terribly polite in first conversations I promise I’m friendly I just think of politeness as my way of showing respect orz I’m also bad at talking with new people gomen this is a long warning label get out your magnifying glass

what is your favorite episode/scene of your muse? Every scene?? I lie I’m salty over some of the later ones but I really like the GPF SP it gave a lot of insight into what weight he’s carrying I wish we could’ve seen more of what was going through his mind when he cried

what crack!ships do you have for your muse? lol idk i ship literally everyone with phichit just look at all those ship names with chuchu at the end how can you not. but like phichit got so little strong connection with others outside of yuuri that literally anything else is kind of a crack pairing l o l . . ....

what is your senpai blog? me myself and i. senpaiception
