seven sentence sunday
tagged by @diazsdimples @daffi-990 💖
another lil snippet of the buck driving fic (that already has a title btw!) it's almost done, and as always it's gone off the rails bc eddie decided to start talking and can't shut up lol
prev snippet
___
“Buck, that’s not-” he cuts off, releases a frustrated breath. “This is not a conversation for a phone call. I wish I was there.” he says, and Buck kind of wishes it too. Eddie always makes everything better. In contrast to Buck, who always makes everything worse. Maybe that’s why they work so well, balancing each other out. All Buck’s good for is being a firefighter, and he’s grateful he at least has that, at least can help people. Because in his personal life he’s the biggest mess ever. When he doesn’t respond, Eddie continues, “You have to know how important you are to all of us, how you’re more than enough for all of us. I just- I wish I could make you believe that.” he whispers. “I wish you could see yourself the way we do. The way I do.”

"Ryan finally had a girlfriend that actually thought about him!!“ yes absolutely! I didn’t *hate* Marissa but I really disliked the Marissa/Ryan ship, they weren’t right together. Never even thought about it but it makes so much sense that you come from a The OC background.
The way you write modern Jon reminds me so much of Ryan (LOVE IT). So interesting that you tried to rework one of your existing fics into a Jonsa fic. I would honestly love a fic with some OC vibes. The only The OC Jonsa fic I’ve read was one where Sansa was put into Marissa‘s role and it did NOT fit. Thinking about it, Sandy and Kirsten Cohen definitely give off Ned and Cat vibes!
Also Happy Birthday!
I used to hate Marissa a lot, but I was younger then (it didn't help that the other people in my fandom vitriolically hated her lol). I can look back now and realize that Marissa was, unfortunately, the writer's favorite toy to create new drama, at the expense of her character.
And unlike almost every other character, she just wasn't fun for me (I will say, Seth sometimes bordered on too much for me, but usually he was fine). Like did Julie do terrible things? Sure, but oh boy when she showed up in a scene, I knew it would be a good time. I would rather watch her than Marissa any day of the week. Marissa would just suck the energy out of everything for me. But maybe that's a product of my old fandom, and I'd feel differently watching it now. I haven't rewatched in ages, tbh.
And I will say, I liked Marissa at the end of season 3! Because they were just wrapping up her character so she wasn't starting shit and she was actually just fun like she should've been the entire time. And they acknowledge that she & Ryan were toxic together, and better off as long distance friends. So when the time comes for her death, I'm actually sad!
I tried not to be too mean to Marissa in my fics... towards the end. Though I did write a one shot about her murdering Ryan lmaoooo. That's strictly on my livejournal... I think it's still there?
As for a Jonsa OC fic.... I've had one half written basically since I started writing fic again.
Ryan - Jon Trey - Aegon Sandy - Ned Kirsten - Cat Seth - Arya?
But there's where it sort of fails, because who is Sansa? Is SHE Seth? Where does she come in, unless I make her not related to the Cohen/Stark family. Or do I get rid of Kirsten/Cat, make her married to Jimmy/some other dude, and have Sansa as her daughter with Arya as Ned's?
Omg this got so long, but I'll include what I have written below the cut, which is literally just the opening scene, so don't get too excited lol.
The OC AU
They approach the car like it's prey, ducked down, creeping.
“I'm your big brother. If I don't teach you this, who will?" With that, Egg smashes out the window, the sound loud and echoing in the quiet alley. He opens the door and gets in, but Jon hesitates, looks over his shoulder towards the main road.
"Quit being a little bitch. Get in!"
And so Jon does, because he always does what Egg says. Just as he's about to get in the passenger side, it happens – a cop car rolls by on the main street, and Jon's heart lurches in his chest, but it passes.
And then it backs up.
“Come on!” Egg shouts, laughing and reckless. “Let's go, Jon!”
Jon slides into the passenger side and slams the door shut behind him, heart racing a mile a minute as Egg hotwires the car and gets it started, as the police cruiser turns down the alley.
And then they're off.
Down the street and out into the open, Egg pushing the throttle as hard as it can go, even on the small streets of Wintertown. Jon sits with one hand gripping the door handle, the other braced out in front of him on the dash.
“You should see your face, man,” Egg laughs, mouth wide, teeth glinting in the streetlights – sharp and dangerous. That same, reckless laughter Jon remembers from their father.
Sirens wail behind them and Jon knows this is it. This is where he finally dies, this is where everything catches up with him. At an intersection, Egg runs a red light, has to swerve to avoid an oncoming car.
“No, no, no, no,” Jon chants, shutting his eyes and bracing for impact. He doesn't know what they hit, just that he's thrown forward, the airbag slamming into his chest, the sound of crunching metal and squealing tires and sirens.
He feels groggy and weak as his eyes open, bright lights flashing and making him wince.
"Hands up! Get them up!" someone shouts. The police. "Hands on the dash where I can see them!"
For just a moment, Jon thinks about running. Pushing open the door, leaving Egg, and going as fast as his legs will take him. But his chest aches and his lungs burn and his head is spinning and so instead, he puts his hands up.

✍️ Fic authors self rec!
When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to other writers you know. Let's spread some self-love! 💛
hi ally !! ahh thank u for sending this in :')) let's see... i've written quite a bundle in the last year :
NIGHT TERRORS — yeah, i'm sure u saw this coming </3 literally my favorite thing ever on this blog, like i don't think i will ever write something like this ever again, which is also kinda sad. it's the demon mystery slow burn of my dreams with my guy changmin!! pls do give it a try even if u can't do scary stuff :') i don't do horror either and i WROTE this (it's just a little gory and suspenseful, but that's all, i think!!)
BIRD HUNT — one of my current ongoing written series! bird hunt features txt choi line x a dc bat boys/vigilantes au. it's a little darker than what i usually write (fluff™) but there r obviously still elements of my humor and good, ol' slow burn! along with night terrors, i think i can also call this one a passion project just cuz i've always been so excited about it and i think i put a lot of energy into it :')
PARTY PEOPLE — i think this one's become a classic on this blog!! party people is what i think kick-started me into deobiblr, and it's the opening to one of my biggest series yet. i think it's just 34k of plain jacob bae brainrot LMAO @@ but can u blame me 🤣 so if u wanna fawn over jacob bae and get the guy, pls do give party people a whirl!
LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN — awwh now this one has surprisingly become pretty popular, i think, which i was kind of surprised by just cuz i wasn't completely satisfied with how i wrote the end (i think it was paranoia tho). but it's really just a very wholesome neighbors au with san, featuring his cat byeol :')) truly just my brand of fluff and romance LOL
SIMPLE GIFTS — tbh i kinda wish i'd given this a different name, but i do admit that the current title still fits pretty well! chanhee's always been a bias wrecker for me, and model!chanhee even more so !! i remember writing this when the newshot pics came out lmao 💀 and idk this was a lot of fun! i think i esp enjoy the vibes of this one

Oh my... Sol 😍 what was that part 3... it was so amazing! I read it 3 times already and I'm sure I'll read again and again later. Isaiah's condition hurt me, his struggling with his heart.. but I'm afraid this was just a little teaser of what's coming..we'll see. And Arnie&Hex.. aww so so adorable! Hex's panic was so real and intimate, he felt really broken but didn't even get mad at Isaiah, but he blamed himself.. oh boy. But I really loved the part Seline helped the boys, I wasn't expecting that tbh, but I noticed this was really necessary for the continuation of fics! Overall, it was great, Sol! Thank you very much. And I'm also happy that it was longer than usual because I looooveee to read about them💕 literally I could read everything about them! And now I really wonder how things are going to be between Isaiah and Hector. I'm looking forward to read about them!
And shall we go back to our little tradition?🤭 Hm? I have a little question here!
If your OCs had to compare themselves to an animal, which animal would they choose? (You can base this on their personality traits, likes, intentions, behaviors, or physical traits—whatever you prefer.)
-☕
Hey ☕️nonny!💕
Omg you read it 3x times?😍🙈 That's so sweet, I'm so honoured. I was a bit worried about the length of this 5k monster 😂 double my usual chapter length...so I'm super happy to hear you liked it🥰🥰🥰
So glad you enjoyed the Hector and Arnie bit. Hector had it the worst emotionally in this one I think 😌😉.
Was it okay with Sel and the boys?😊 I do love me my bromances, but I love platonic boy-girl relationships too and it would be fun if Hector and Arnie had someone in the Sonder pack outside Isaiah to bond with. ✨️
Hehe that's such a cute question🥰
Isaiah - Wolf? Family-oriented, protective. He was a literal lone wolf when he left his origin pack, but he was raised to lead and very much has the leader vibe going on. I was also thinking Eagle would fit him, for the distant bigger picture perspective he can take and how noble and majestetic they look.
Seline - Cat. Cats are affectionate and self-sufficent, like to cuddle and do whatever they want. With a touch of mystery. I was also thinking owl, cause she is such a night owl and they are associated with guidance and wisdom. Or dolphin since she is a water witch.😉
Matthew - Shark. Determined, fierce, look super scary but are so important for the right balance. Power, focus, assertiveness. I was also thinking of bear. Protective, family, brotherly, scary, angry, will fight you tooth and nail if he thinks you are endangering his loved ones...
Hector - Lion. It's his star sign, sortinghatschats primary type, his hair reminds of the lion mane and he certainly has the majestetic vibe to him.
Arnie - Snake. He was the easiest. I have him associated with snakes emojis in my outline too, lol. He is snakey, adaptable, looks more harmless than he actually is with his slyness.
Rip - Crow. I love crows okay. And Rip has the parkour thing going on, jumping and acrobatics that look like he can fly at times. Cunning, street smart, mysterious and clever.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the question!🥰💙✨️
#ask#☕️anon#comments#thank you!#I like how these animal symbols also hint at the relationships?#eagle and crow👀#cat and lion#or more like similarities or resonances#myocs

Gustholomule with 002 for the ask game!!
hi anon i'm so sorry i meant to answer this ages ago but i was swamped with finals all week! finally free though :)
when i started shipping it: pretty early in my watch through! i remember watching something ventured, someone framed and thinking hmmm... these bitches gay ?? and then once i got into the fandom and saw there was a following for it i really started shipping it! actually my first toh fanart was gustho haha
my thoughts: i don't think dana & co ever meant for us to ship them tbh, so even though i was disappointed that they didn't interact in the finale, i wasn't super surprised. but i think they have such an interesting dynamic!! gus is so cool and matt is not but also theyre both SO lame in the best way and they both have trust issues and also theyre like 12 and like... they are just so special to me
what makes me happy about them: how goofy they are. while i do think there's so much potential for their dynamic, i also think they're just two silly guys who hang out and i like the simplicity of that
what makes me sad about them: their lack of screen time :( (together and separately)
things done in fanfic that annoy me: hmmm tbh i've only read gustho fanfics that i've really enjoyed... i've never really had a negative experience with a gustho fic! all our writers are so talented! but i guess something that sometimes bothers me in fanon is when the hexsquad is rude to matt/don't give him a chance. i see why they might be wary, but Luz is the king of Befriending Everyone, willow is naturally very compassionate, and hunter/amity have both had their fair share of second chances! so even if they wouldn't get along right off the bat, i'm not a fan of scenarios where they just never warm up to him/consistently dislike him
things i look for in fanfic: i love when gustho fics have them just hanging out being teenagers. thats the vibe i think fits them best!
who i'd be comfortable them ending up with if not each other: hmmm i don't really have other ships for either of them! there's no one that comes to mind but i think if either of them were implied in the finale to be in a relationship with a hexside student we've met, i'd be like 🤷♀️ sure ig
my happily ever after for them: they continue to get close and become besties throughout high school, move in together after grad, and are so close that eventually they realize they've basically been dating for years and just kinda shrug like kay guess we're a couple and then theyre in love forever <33
who is the big spoon/little spoon: i think it depends! the both fill both roles at different times. though i do think that depending on when they get together, matty would totally be like "I'M the big spoon cause i'm MANLY" and gus is like "okay manly man" and makes him the little spoon anyway and he actually loves it
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: i'll bfr they're sex-neutral aces to me anyway so <3 (i don't really think about their feelings about sex since they're like 12 for most of the show, i just love to project my identity onto blorbos) so ANYWAY to actually answer the question, i headcanon that they LOVE to game together. video games and board games both - they just both get so competitive and have a lot of fun with it. their game nights are VERY loud and high-energy
thank you sm for the ask! i love thinking about these losers :)

henlo i am sorry to bother you but i am ten years late to the danganronpa fandom and two years late to your fanfics but i was wondering if you might consider finishing your Bear Trap story? like even if its just a quick lil synopsis of what you wanted to write, or if its an unfinished chapter, id take anything 👉👈
also ur lovely ok bye
Ok this was worded very kindly so I'm going to justify it with a full geniune response.
I'm honestly probably never going to update Bear Trap, but I WILL give you a synopsis. I did however want to first quickly explain why I don't plan on finishing that fic.
To keep a long story short. I kinda hate BT. It was my first fic after a two year break and imo it shows in the quality. I thank BT for temporarily getting me back into the writing groove, but I cringe way too hard looking back on it. I do have an unfinished chapter draft, but I'm not sure if I'd ever post it. I'll have to reread it at some point and see how I feel.
I would also like to say that if anyone else is willing to write the last part, I am more than willing to work with them.
Now, here is what I had planned for BT, bare (haha bear) in mind that it's messy because it was just self indulgent nonsense:
The format of BT was meant to go; build up, impact, aftermath. With each chapter focusing on a different story beat.
There was going to be a fake chapter released only on tumblr where Naegi died, only for the characters to go "did you actually think that would happen?" meant to poke fun over how many people thought I was going to kill Naegi.
This means the last chapter was going to entirely focus on the aftermath of Naegi's injury. I wanted each character to get an analysis of how they're feeling and each individual relationship would get a spotlight
This also means that. Tbh. The aftermath segment probably would not fit cleanly into one chapter since it would be pretty big.
It began with the hospital ride from the helicopter, Togami and Kiri watching as medics struggle to keep Naegi stable. There's a very dissociative vibe going on.
Because Togami and Kiri are closer to Naegi then they are each other, they don't really know how to comfort each other. It's awkward, quiet. They only speak to share facts and speculation. But there's a moment where they lean shoulder to shoulder.
Naegi was going to lose his leg, and have to get a prosthetic. Some of the fic was going to focus on him relearning how to walk with his new leg with the help of his partners.
I wanted to make sure that Naegi becoming disabled wasn't a "bad" ending. It's obviously upsetting to lose a limb in a tragic accident, and Naegi does have to cope with it. But I wanted to feel more empowering in a "see this shit? It's proof I survived"
Togami was ofc going to lovingly call him a cockroach
There was going to be exploration over how despite being known around the world for surviving a tragedy, they still don't really know how to LIVE with tragedy. They are just forced to keep moving on without getting a moment to breathe.
Due to Naegi seeing how freaked out Togami and Kiri were, he tries to keep everything together and stay lighthearted for their sake. He knows they want to see he's okay. This meant he pushed aside his own coping however.
The fic was going to end with Naegi finally letting out his emotions and crying in front of both of them, admitting that he was scared and thought he was going to die, and that he was so grateful they were there. Even if he had died then, he wouldve been more okay with it if they were with him. But that doesn't mean he was actually okay with it.
Togami negotiates them all a 2 week vacation lmao
If I remember correctly (I did not reread the fic to check, I'm going solely off memory) I was going to make a point about how despite feeling like they nearly lost their chance to tell Naegi they love him, both Tog and Kiri know that a confession shortly after a traumatic experience isn't the best idea. But also, Naegi doesn't need a confession to know they love him.
There were certainty more details to thefic that I can't fully recall ATM, such as the specifics of each individual character/relationship analysis. Let me know if you have any questions! Ty again for your kindness

HI, MY LOVE!!! how about 17, 27, and 29 <333
HI BELOVED ILY 🥰💞
17. Your favorite character to write this year?
megumi (no one is surprised) listen he just. he's so blorbo shaped. he's just like me fr. he literally just wants to be loved but he would never say that because he doesn't think he deserves it. he's my bestfriend. my silly little rabbit.
27. What do you listen to while writing?
it changes with every fic i write tbh sometimes i will loop 1-2 songs that fit the vibe of the fic exactly, sometimes i'll shuffle the playlist for the ship/character i'm writing about, and sometimes i'll just shuffle my current repeats playlist - it kinda depends what mood i'm in. sometimes i will also write without listening to anything (like if i'm writing during work or in class.. or if i can't find any music that fits the current vibes) i did also listen to the prison realm lo-fi while working on a fic bc nothing else was working skdhsjsk
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
ah yeah,, this one comes from itafushi soulmate au,,,, i wasn't going to share it before posting the fic but for you my love i will do anything <3
Megumi never even met Geto. He doesn’t really know how dangerous Geto was or what Geto’s plans were. In his eyes, Geto was more mythical than human. He was intangible, a lost love, nothing more than the kuroyuri on Gojo’s skin. Always kuroyuri.
When Megumi had looked up the meaning of the flower, he found two: Love and Curse.
Geto was the clouds floating overhead; always there, but never reachable. Gojo could never outrun him (could never scrub the flowers from his skin) but instead of tearing himself apart over it, he learned to dance in the rain.
To Megumi, Geto is a figurehead of everything wrong and terrifying about having a soulmate, but also a symbol of an entirely unconditional love.
And now he’s dead, killed by the hand of the only man who never stopped loving him.
honestly i'm not sure i can exactly explain why this sticks out to me so much but it's just.. there's something abt megumi only knowing geto in theory - only knowing him as gojo's soulmate - and therefore having an entirely different perception of him than everyone else. megumi gets into this mindset where he almost idolizes the idea he has of geto bc to him, geto isn't a real person. he's the flowers on gojo's skin and he's a tale of tragedy and he's what megumi's future may very well look like. but if megumi's soulmate left jujutsu high with blood on his hands, megumi would follow.
#i love a lot of this fic haha#you would know bc i keep reading parts of it out loud to you skhdjgs#anyway ty so much for the ask beloved ily <333#corey tag#ask game#(i keep forgetting) there's no love in the end

I see your music ask and raise you; Bean's Beans:
What was it like doing the fucking insane thing of scoring your own fic? I love you so much for doing it btw
Which song was the most troublesome to compose
Favourite song you wrote? And favourite song for any of you fic playlists?
Any songs you've come across in the wild and your like I've gotta find something to do with this? (I am easily lured by the siren call of ABBA fight scenes despite being terrified of writing fight sequences)
bean's beans!!! beloved. scoring it was wild tbh, it wasn't at all what i thought was going to happen when the idea first concepted in my brain but as soon as i thought of it i was like hey, it might as well happen. it felt like word-writing in a lot of ways; i made a list of beats i wanted to match music to and put them together purely based on what sounded good (music theory who? i only know vibes) and what seemed to fit the scene. though i'm pretty sure i wrote a few songs before their corresponding fic bits. i do Not remember the specifics because my memory is occasionally swiss cheese :)
most troublesome song(s) to compose - the moment i decided to do a song with Voice and Lyrics i had to deal in things like words and rhymes, which. definitely ended up working in the long run but i kept running into a barrier called "this is so cliché i'm going to choke". but it worked eventually! other difficult songs included max in the kitchen, which for some reason i could not figure out for a while (shoutout to the toad town track from the bowser's inside story ost for singlehandedly breaking that block) and toxic air, which took 2 tries.
favourite song i wrote - shadow puppets was an absolute joy to work on, i have an eternal soft spot for chris's waltz because it's what inspired me to score the rest, and we've got time just makes me happy :)
favourite song from a fic playlist - surprise! i'm giving you one from each. lookout 3: a bar in amsterdam (katzenjammer). homeward bound: beneath the brine (the family crest). bean's beans: ruin (the amazing devil). ex-home syndrome: keep on loving you (the sheepdogs). fixed point theory: sky (birds of bellwoods). fixed point secondary shoutout to letting go (rural alberta advantage) because i've been on an RAA kick lately
songs from the wild - i've been stuck on this idea for an angsty keep going song successor ever since i heard basket by dan mangan, so that's one. others include chasing twisters by delta rae (the most western vibes imaginable), summer clothes extended version by the wonder years (augh), the third movement of dvorak's symphony 8 in g minor (i want to write another fancy dance scene), excuses by the morning benders (vibes), and i'm sure there's many more that i don't remember. ruin was also that for bean's beans! the piano mention in that song kickstarted the entire scoring idea. everyone say thank you joey batey and madeleine hyland
thank you for the ask i love talking about music and beans and everything in be(an)tween :)
#bean's beans#i guess?#secret song from a playlist that is for an original work: sweet tuesday by iskwe#and also silhouette by devil and the deep blue sea#ok i've spat too many songs out now if you desire to seek them all out have fun#love you too :)

6. 10, 11? For ur ao3 wrapped? Mehabs?
(im on mobile if something is weird. No it isnt)
bro ,,,,, im so sorry to report something was weird, i only saw this guy come in today he was not in my inbox before. apology for delay. but hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii yes thank you for the ask!!!!! of course i will answer i love to fucking TALK hehe :3
ao3 wrapped asks
6. Favorite title you used?
mmmm hehe. i'm gonna answer this based purely on title vibes as opposed to like "how well the title fits the fic" bc i wrote a bunch of shorter (to me) fics without a lot of internal thematic happenings that a title could reflect and so i don't really think of anything i published that a title is doing very much work.
i think my favorite title of anything published this year is i wish you the wind just because ah ... what a phrase! no idea what this means but it sounds so damn romantic to me! really has a flavor of like ... bittersweet farewell!
10. What work was the quickest to write?
mmm, haha. well, two answers to this i suppose. on one hand, there was keep me here which unfortunately i wrote in about one day from nothing (and therefore had approximately 12 minutes to revise) because i was determined to post SOMETHING for that day of kaze week 2023. but the first fic that came to mind (and perhaps the most accurate answer, time-wise) was my drabble from week 2 of inception wicked which came together in about three hours total drafting, but there was a span of several days (and truthfully several days that felt like several weeks lol) between me initially having the idea and sitting down to draft. but like, to be fair, it is about 400 words so revising goes exponentially quicker. truly this shocked even me, though i guess really what this means is i already was primed with a bunch of subconscious thoughts about the dynamic in this fic lol. (you can read it here on the gdoc with the other fics from that week! bc i haven't gotten around to posting on ao3 yet lol. content warnings for: semi-explicit sexual content, fantasizing about a married couple, voyeurism)
11. What work took you the longest to write?
hmm ... i don't know if there's a winner for anything i published, tbh. most of the rest of the kaze week fics from january kind of came together in a span of 3-5 days depending on the fic, and most of the other drabbles for both events came together in about the alotted week. so instead i'm going to gleefully misinterpret this question so i can talk about my beloved unpublished nemesis project, narrative!fic :3
i hate that guy! (<- said extremely lovingly) i probably earnestly worked on this fic for ... 4 or 5 months of this year? had a nice breakthrough for some story logic in august / september ish, outlined from that through october, and wrote pretty diligently for most of november. (i did tell my roommate fully two years ago, "hey you need to watch kazetsuyo so i can make you betaread this fic i'm writing at the end of the year, i'll watch star trek with you in exchange". that was literally 2021 lmao. they have not yet seen a draft bc there has not been a draft worth having anybody else look at yet.)
i think the thing that has made the process of drafting narrative!fic so long is really just that, for the last two-ish years, narrative!fic wasn't actually a story to me, so much as it was a project into which i dumped all my post-college facing-the-future feelings and loosely tied up with a string called "i'm sure i can make haiji go through this as well". but then, due to various life events in april of this year, suddenly i came back to the draft and it was like: oh. ohhh, okay. i can see how this can be a story, actually. this is about haiji, as a character, as opposed to haiji, as a semi-direct proxy for myself. and then over the next few months i cut out a ton of stuff and reworked his main arc and now it's like ... a story, instead of just a bunch of feelings and events. which, truly, is only my personal marker for what i was looking for from the project. like, i personally want a separation of my own experiences from what is in my fic, i want to be thinking about developments in the fic as narrative choices the story requires rather than as alternatives to how my own life could have gone. (which ultimately may well be the same thing but its the headspace im in, for me).
and i think the other part is just -- i didn't know how to write! i mean, obviously i know how to string words into a sentence lol. but a LOT of i guess the first two years of drafting and then setting all the drafted stuff aside to start again from scratch like four times over, was me learning to like, figure out my own longfic writing process. (big sobbing emoji, lmao. i remember in my youth reading about maggie stiefvater having 200k of unused draft material for one of the trc books and i was like, how??? and now i am like: yeah. unfortunately i get it. not that my tossed-out drafter material is of that specific magnitude. but there is a lot of it, goddamn.) and now that i've got at least an initial / foundational sense of it, the hardest part is only actually sitting down and writing. (i say as if this is not also, extremely challenging for me lol). so uh, i guess i'll say here "maybe this time next year i'll really have a full draft of narrative!fic", and. we'll see how that goes :3
#hidey speaks#hidey talks fic#ask game#lmao sorry this took me like one hour to write because in the middle i reread i wish you the wind and took seven million notes on revising#it into something longer and slightly more complex

👀🤔🎶📌
👀: Do you have any words or phrases you use habitually? At first I wasn't sure. Then I realized yes, I use the word "grin" a lot. Because it's a fun word
🤔: What's one genre you've never written that you'd like to try? I've written a lot of fan fic, so I'm not sure. Original fiction-wise, however, I'd like to try my hand at writing a Hallmark-styles movie based off this Christmas song I love
🎶: What music do you listen to while you write? Instrumental music (be it a violin cover of a popular song or scores from movies) are my go-to, but I also play whatever happens to fit the vibe. It kinda varies, tbh
📌: If all your fics/WIPs fell off a ship and were drowning (go with it), and you could only save one, which would it be? This is a really hard question. But I'd have to go with... "This Is The Story Of How I Died", or the Jacen Syndulla fan fic I wrote and haven't published
send me a fan fic ask!
#thanks for the ask!!#for the record the steve miller au can swim so it's on it's own page lol#fan fic ask game

Pietro & Wanda for the character ask thing!!
PIETRO
Sexuality Headcanon: Honestly I'm not sure! On one hand ofc both twins can be bi and also he has some nice Homoerotic Relationships™. On the other hand it's kinda funny to imagine him as a cishet who doesn't understand but is supportive of his trans bi sister, and his two queer nephews. The token straight of the Maximoff gang <3 but yeah basically nothing it set in stone for him dhrhhrhfhr.
Gender Headcanon: I personally do not have anything perfectly set in stone again however I like the headcanons some people have of him being trans and have read a few nice fics so :> yeah nothing again that's set in stone or disputable for me I just like seeing people's Thots™ on the matter
A ship I have with said character: God I dunno 🙈 I have relationships that I like with him but nothing that I strongly ship u know? Like lots of concepts that are fun but nothing that I go "yeah that's good". Probably either the Silverfish ship or him and Emma in No Surrender were sweet.
A BROTP I have with said character: Hmm him and Lorna I think! I absolutely hate P*ter D*vid still but their moments were nice :)
A NOTP I have with said character: Saw some xmcu fans ship him and Scott together which <3 no.
A random headcanon: While I don't think he's got ADHD (I stay away from hc speedster characters as having ADHD bc :/) I do think he would benefit from having stims so I think he uses figit spinner when he wants to go Fast™ but cannot :>
General Opinion over said character: He's nice tbh. I prefer him in X Stories tbh (I swear every time him and Vision are on panel together I'm just like "stay away. go someplace else PLEASE) but I liked him in the Cap's Quartet days! I also think marvel should bring back him liking the circus bc that was really pure and nice :) also I think he's not dramatic enough these days. Needs to be more over the top I think. Also rip to the way Englehart wrote him, though Englehart just had a think for cucking (I mean seriously, he wanted to write Vision cheating on Wanda w/ Mantis and wrote Clea almost cheating on Strange with Benjamin Franklin apparently??? So who knows what was going thru his head) so hdndjrh.
WANDA
Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual :> but tbh I'm open for most headcanons and stuff hdhhdhrhrh.
Gender Headcanon: Trans Wanda my beloved... I just like the idea :) I have the url transwandamaximoff for a reason! It is just a vibe ❤️ marvel can kiss my ass idc
A ship I have with said character: Guess. Go on, guess.
Them, of course. One of the classics. Hope old marvel writers are rolling in their graves at me calling this a lesbian romance hdhdhdhhd.
A BROTP I have with said character: Her and Janet! They were really sweet together and their friendship was nice :> also her and Mantis. They were friends too and idk it was nice to see them be chill together. None of this "women forced into a stupid rivalry bc of a love triangle" bullshit I just want them drinking tea and gossiping together.
A NOTP I have with said character: Her and Simon 🤢Byrne I'm never going to forgive you for that. Also her and Victor. That was... strange and unappealing. I really... do not understand. Also her and Carol. She deserves better than an ex-military war criminal jfc.
A random headcanon: Honestly considering Wanda helped design some outfits for people (the Goliath Hank Pym fit was her :>) I like to think that Janet decided to take her sort of as an apprentice for a bit and taught her how to design clothes and that she's actually good at it :> I also imagine if Janet asks she models for her on occasion!!
General Opinion over said character: Wife ❤️💖💞 treated like shit by m*rvel c*mics and for WHAT. if she was written by Bendis it didn't happen <3 deserves way more than what she gets. Should get to lead her own Avengers Team at some point tbh. Her relationship with Vision also wasn't any worse than any other Silver Age Romance at the time so idk why people act like it was? But um yeah ����👈 Hickman if ur not gonna retcon the stupid AXIS thing keep your filthy hands of her.
