10, 20, 23, 24, and 68?

YAY thank you!!!

10. Cltr+f "blinks" on your WIP & copy paste the first sentence/paragraph that comes up

nothing came up! i actually don’t really use the word “blinks” unless i specifically want to indicate some kind of long and/or awkward pause. otherwise i’ll only write out “x closes their eyes” or something

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

pretty much everything i write turns into a character study lmao, even if i didn’t intend for it to be one. and i frequently use the phrase “burning red up to their ears” to indicate that a character is blushing/embarrassed. ALSO if there are a thousand em dash fans im one of them if there are a hundred em dash fans i’m one of them if there are zero em dash fans then i’m dead

24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?

oh this is an easy one, when grade school teachers told us to never use “common” words in our writing. while i do try to keep things interesting, really sometimes the best word you can use is just “said” or “eyes”. and i’m gonna combine this with question 23 (best writing advice) in that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using words that might be considered “boring”, and people genuinely will not notice unless you don’t use anything else.

basically, variety is much more important than using nothing but “interesting” words, especially if you can’t be 100% sure they even fit the context of the sentence. otherwise you get shit like this

68. What, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

i usually just let ideas come to me tbh! looking at/reading/listening to other people’s art is always a great way to get inspired, but i’ve personally found that it has to be natural. if i try to go out of my way to force it then i’ll just get frustrated if nothing clicks. so definitely don’t want to rush things

🍑 🍍 🥝 !

🍑 If you could make a connection between your favorite character and another work you care about (whether a crossover/fusion or a wonderfully “pretentious” literary reference) what would it be? How would it work?

Leans back. Hmmmm. I’m not typically one for crossovers unless it’s something I really like (I was a Randy Cunningham is Hiro Hamada’s cousin truther) but I do like making a reference here or there. Typically through like, quoting something. I’m admittedly drawing a blank, but if I were to quote something it’d probably be romantic or humorous depending on the situation. I’m currently workshopping an original novel idea and it heavily involves 80s pop culture; the idea of the mml saying like “who’re you gonna call?” Would be kinda funny.

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

I am an au connoisseur yes sir. Love a lot of them! Swaps, canon divergence etc. I don’t have beef per say but I typically don’t read coffee shop type stuff unless the premise is really interesting cause otherwise it’s the same deal. The REAL beef lies in stuff like age regression, like “a has been hit with x now theyre a baby and b (typically their love interest… for some reason) has to take care of them” idk why but it squicks me out. If you want to explore trauma…. Explore it through their adult lense? Idk idk. Also stuff with like, yknow, incest or whatever is weird.

🥝 What’s your favorite trope/AO3 tag to write?

Mid burn (I like a good slowburn but sometimes a girl can’t wait that long), fluff, oc x canon, canon divergence, etc.

this is inexplicably also in my Pathologic playlist. yes this song is technically about b(l)aseball but more than anything it's about being doomed and persevering anyway despite your body and spirit falling apart

RULES: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).

“You thought the sunlight would burn it out of you. You thought your goddess could still save you. You’re on the road to Baldur’s Gate now with the hope, oh, the hope that the city will drown it out of you. Or, drown you for good. Which do you wish for more, I wonder?”
