Answering Questions for Fun

20 Questions More

This is a deeper and more detailed version of the 20 questions for AO3 fanfic writers.

I yanked the questions from someone in the supercorp fandom. I forget who. I never get tagged since I'm not really well known writer yet (I'm still a tumblr newbie!), so I'm doing this just for funsies and because I like answering questions.

I will be answering this for the supercorp and korrasami fandoms. My works are here (though I do one-shots on tumblr sometimes).

1) How do you keep getting ideas for your ship / fandom?

By existing, reading, listening, writing, watching things, staring at the sky and watching the clouds drift by. Seriously, my ADHD's superpower is generating ideas. So I have way too many of them, and I have a note in my Scrivener projects with all the ideas. If anyone needs more ideas, I'll spin out so many. lol

2) Which authors inspire you in your fandom, and why are they so freakishly good?

So for the Korrasami fandom, that would be @korrasamibottles for their fantastic oneshots, Progman for one of the best post-series fics I've ever read (seriously, the Asami Sato of RRU is awesome), Shigan for some amazing korrasami oneshots, FuzziFox for an adorable and action-y AU where Asami goes south with Korra, lovedeathcats for the best Indiana Jones AU ever, RainbowRosie for a great AU where bending has vanished, paxbanana's Place in the World is an interesting AU take on Korrasami. @asamiontop's Modern world AU is a must read (she also has some great supercorp one-shots). For supercorp? @jazzfordshire has exquisitely written fics, everything @fazedlight writes is gold, @snowydragonscave's oneshots are adorable, @mycatismyeditor has some great AU's that really dig into the characters, @ekingston has some of the best written AU's I've ever read, @karalovesallthegirls has the most hilarious fics ever (Mime fic), robie's AUs are some of the best slow burn I've read, TheUnforgivingMinute wrote a fantastic spookysupercorp, @coffeeshib floored me with their gorgeous prose, @rustingcat not only does amazing art but the fics are such a great slow burn, @chaotic-super's back to Krypton was absolutely goldmine of fun and digging into the lore of Krypton. I could go on. Let's just say I LOVE Y'all's fics. The above are the people who had the most impact on me personally. Where I learned the art of fanfic writing. Since I'm a science fiction writer, I tend toward creative writing techniques that don't always jive well in the fandom realm, so learning from others helps me refine my writing to use the least amount of words for the biggest impact possible. It's also great practice for my original fiction honestly.

3) Aside from the characters of your main ship, who are the characters you love to write?

I really love writing Sam Arias. Nia is also super fun to write, and writing Brainy and Lena arguing about science is always fun too. Alex is a littler harder for me to write (her snark is hard for me to capture), but she's a blast once I get in the right headspace for it. For Korrasami, I really love writing Jinora and Bolin. Asami considers both of them basically siblings at this point, and Korra does too actually. heh.

4) Are there pairings or tropes you know for sure you'd never write about? Which ones?

I will NEVER EVER writing Makorra - that is a clusterfuck I will never touch. Hell, it's why I didn't rewrite book 1 of TLOK for my Shared Moments series because I really didn't want to touch it at all. lol I just skipped to the six months after and started there. I'll NEVER write Lames or any relationship that features Mon-el. Nope. Not touching it. I prefer to write sapphic pairings for the main protagonists. Sure, side characters can have het pairings (like Brainy and Nia), but I won't write a fic with them as the focus. Other folks can do that.

5) What is your writing process and why is it cursed?

Step 1: Wake up, wash up, and get tea. Step 2. Cuddle the cat to prepare myself. Step 3: Put on my compression gloves and stretch my arms. Step 4: Put on the correct playlist (absolutely essential step otherwise it'll throw off the entire scene and then I have to start over.) Step 5: Try to avoid Tumblr. (Doesn't always work, this place is cursed I swear. lol) Step 6. Open Scrivener project (who am I kidding, these primary projects are always open on m computer). Write while my brain is cooperating. (30 to 40 minutes before I got to rest for 45 minutes then I can start writing again. Chronic illness sucks like that.) Step 7: realize I need to research something and lose two hours to that. Step 8: AO3 emailed me! Who commented this time! Oh noes, now I've fallen down the looking at the Internets.

The other thing I do is carry my journal everywhere to document everything and end up with some weird random poetry, drawings, and dialogue from people I overhear. Oh, and on bad brain days, I'll draw cursed images.

I also use Scrivener and go all haywire on all its features to a ridiculous extent. Like, I try to stuff ALL my outlines, research, scenes, into that Scrivener so it's all in one place, that way I don't forget anything. It makes for large projects. ha.

6) What is your favorite part of your writing process?

Incorporating my research into the story in subtle ways to fill out the world and immerse the reader more fully. It's fun to put some of this research in the end-notes for my fics on AO3. (The power AO3 gave us writers with those end-notes!!)

7) What’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to research for a fic?

Maturation of bird species and the DNA overlap with human beings to see if I can craft an alien species that is at least 90% DNA similar to humans but is more birdlike.

I looked up the absorption of chemicals through skin. (This is why I use duckduck go for anonymity for this sort of stuff. LOL)

8) Is there a particular writing rule you struggle with (grammar, spelling, tense, reality in general)?

Reality in general - ha. Seriously though, the chronic illness makes it really hard to concentrate and have energy for writing or really anything. The second thing I struggle with is I have an annoying habit of adapting my tenses to what I'd last read. So if the story I read was past-tense, I'll jump into my writing using past tense (which most of my stories is that tense, but there's two that aren't so that's when it gets annoying).

9) What was your hardest scene to write so far and why?

The hardest scene was the end of Book 3 for Shared Moments for the Korrasami series. Both Asami and Korra (due to the bond they forged by accident at Harmonic Convergence) are captured by Zaheer, so that was a brutally painful set of scenes. Full of pain, fighting, poisoning, and a struggle to survive. I wept through it honestly. Whew. Yikes. For Supercorp, the hardest scene was when Nia assists Lena with her dreams and memories of her birth mother. Those were so sad and I totally teared up writing them. It was also hard to sort out the best way to reveal details without giving too much away either. Since Nia's powers are a little all over the place too.

10) Have your characters ever done something you didn’t expect, changing your plot completely?

All the time! For the TLOK: Shared Moments series, Asami keeps surprising me, so I often have to sit down and remap her timeline, and it always enriches the entire series. For Supercorp, Nia keeps doing things that surprise me. She's like this chaotic good agent that adds in humor and twists that enrich the tale in subtle ways I think. There's many other surprising moments the characters do. That's half the fun! Seeing where the characters end up and if I need to adjust my plans. :D

11) If you could converse with any of the characters, who would it be and why?

That's a tie between Asami Sato and Lena Luthor honestly. But then I sort of think of them as basically the same person (Lena may be more neutral in temperament while Asami is chaotic good. Also, Asami isn't afraid to fly planes and crash them for Korra. Lena would prefer no flying. lol). I just wanna talk science with them. Oh and ask them about how in-love they are with Korra and Kara respectively. (Lena will try to deny it, but Asami will gush and admit it because she's a little more in touch with her feelings). I just love these two so much. :D

12) What are some of the tropes or themes that you find yourself returning to in your writing?

Healing journeys. I really enjoy writing healing from trauma, because I feel like it's so relevant for our times, and the characters never really get that in their series (well, Supergirl characters don't, and they really need it!).

The theme of chosen family is another theme I come to again and again. Partly due to how my life is -- my bio family is not healthy for me (outright abusive), so my chosen family is my real family. So I like to dig into those dynamics a lot.

I also tend to write the survivor narrative a lot. It's a more interesting narrative structure, but it's also less used so that can startle readers. Sometimes in good ways? A good example of a survivor narrative structure is TLOK actually.

Another good example of the survivor narrative is Sam Arias' journey in Season 3 of Supergirl. Maybe I'll write an essay someday on it.

13) What's your most important resource as a writer?

There's isn't any one most important resource. I'd say fellow writers and artists is a great resource, lore books is another, random research books (yes, I have a guide to weapons for writers, guide for poisons for writers, guide to x or y for writers, because I'm a nerd like that), the Internet, and lots of listening to others.

14) Can you share some of your strategies for editing and revising your work?

For editing/revising, I start with SPAG: spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Once I do a few run-throughs of that, then I look at the dialogue -- Is the dialogue true to the character's personality and quirks? Can I make the dialogue more succinct?

After that, I look at descriptions: Is the description immersive? Do I utilize the five senses in a concise way? Can I pare down the description while still keeping the immersive quality? Is there any description that doesn't add to the scene or character's growth and can that be moved to a different scene or saved for later?

Finally, I do a fresh read-through and check how it impacts my emotions. Do I laugh at the funny parts? Do I tear up at the sad/angst parts? Does it feel too dry or not emotive enough? What words could be used instead to better invoke emotions?

15) Which is worse: making the summary, picking the tags, or the anxiety when you post your fic?

Ugh, summaries are the worst. Sometimes it's easier to just pick an excerpt of a scene and slap that as the summary. Tags are even worse. I never know what to use for tags, especially since people seem to be kind of random with AO3 tags. I mean, I feel like some writers just will write a statement as a tag and it's amusing but also confusing.

16) How do you define success for your fanfic - hits? Kudos? Comments? Bookmarks? Or just if you like it?

I don't really measure success.

If I get comments from folks that say they're enjoying it? That's a source of joy for me but it's not about success. Because I'm writing mostly for my enjoyment, but to hear that others enjoy it too? Damn, that's like the best news ever. It really helps me feel better about myself and my writing. Like I'm valued and not forgotten. That I actually have an impact. So yeah, go leave comments if you like stuff, please. Us writers love it.

17) Do you have a playlist for your favorite character / ship?

YES. I Always make a playlist for each project I do. I craft it based on their personality, their character arcs, the mood of the piece, and I focus on a variety of genres. I think about the lyrics of songs and try to match it all together. I might spend way more time on playlists than I need, but since I have them playing as I write, I need them to fit the mood and atmosphere to increase inspiration.

18) If fan art was going to be made from your work, which fic would you pick and which fan artist would you like to create it?

Um. Huh. This is a hard question. I try to draw my own, but I can't do color (y'all that do color, are freaking WIZARDS). I think Confession fic and the scene where Lena resurrects Kara, and if and when I have money again, I'd ask @rustingcat if commissions are open for them.

For Korrasami, I'd choose Book 3 or 3.5 but I'm not sure on the artist.

19) How many WIPs do you currently have?

UM. If I count just fanfics, probably fifteen. I'm actively working on six. (Three in each fandom. Two are usually shorter, and one is the longer fic) If we include original fiction and fanfiction? Uhhhhh. Hahahah, that's like twenty-five or so. I'm only working on one original fiction piece set on my SF world of Elivera.

20) What's your advice to new fanfic writers?

Pace yourself and take some time to edit and revise before posting. Also, take some time to review the transcripts and how the characters talk. That can give some fun insight into the characters and ways to expand on them in interesting ways.

Ask questions a lot! There's so many nice folks in the fandom, and folks are so kind about answering questions. I know because I still ask questions and talk to folks about this, and more seasoned writers have been so lovely.

Write what you want. Don't write for your readers (unless someone requests and pays you for a fic, then I guess write for them. lol) but otherwise, write what you want. This is supposed to be fun. If you're getting stressed out, take a break otherwise you will get burned out. To avoid burn out, take time to rest. Read a bit, do fun hobbies, do some practice writing, and then dive back into your fic.

Yes, it's important to try to finish things, but don't feel pressured. Remember, having fun is crucial! It's okay to take your time. Readers will stick with you if they like your tale.

Happy Writing!

P.S. I'm going to quote Brenda Ueland who wrote one of the best books on writing (If You Want to Write):

“Don't always be appraising yourself, wondering if you are better or worse than other writers. "I will not Reason and Compare," said Blake; "my business is to Create." Besides, since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of Time, you are incomparable. ” - Brenda Ueland

And:

“I want to assure you with all earnestness, that no writing is a waste of time, – no creative work where the feelings, the imagination, the intelligence must work. With every sentence you write, you have learned something. It has done you good. It has stretched your understanding.” - Brenda Ueland

gimme your Bray headcanon! ::)

BRAY MY BESTIE

Sexuality Headcanon: very "try anything once," bisexual and while he wouldn't really describe himself as xeno he's dtf with aliens if one offered and they were high enough level of bro

Gender Headcanon: cis man

A ship I have with said character: eh i don't think i really particularly ship him with anybody? like suggest something to me and i'll probably be down but there's nothing that really stands out

A BROTP I have with said character: bray & cathka cause of @korblez, also bray & aria but like in the badass boss and loyal second kinda way i do love my diehard loyalty stuff

A NOTP I have with said character: eh, similar to the ship one about i feel like there aren't many people you couldn't make a decent case for shipping him with if you're a decent enough writer. lbh most ships with him outside of aria's inner circle are gonna be crackships anyway, have fun, just don't be weird

A random headcanon: so a tangentially related hc i nurse is that prior to the batarian embassy closing in [checks notes] Recent Year To Canon there were a decent amount of batarian spectres (if non-big three races aren't allowed to be spectres shepard wouldn't have gotten a shot at all i'll die on this hill yall just fell for the alliance's propaganda about how speshul they are), but when the embassy closed they were forced to choose between their duty and loyalty to the council vs their friends and family back home now trapped in the hegemony with no way out. some of them resigned and went back to khar'shan to save their loved ones from the hegemony's wrath, but some agreed to keep working for the council in secret, deep-cover and under the table where the hegemony won't find out, because the council aren't stupid and know letting them stay openly would risk further conflict and also put aforementioned spectres' loved ones in a shitload of danger from an increasingly paranoid and reactive government.

and sometimes. idk man sometimes i like to nurse the crackpot theory of what if bray was one of those undercover secret batarian spectres hiding from the hegemony. i think it would be fun. not my fault bioware are cowards and didn't want to do anything with all the potential the hegemony had for interesting character stories

General Opinion over said character: [points] dis my frien :) i just think he's neat okay we got NO examples of batarians not being all 2-d token evil species except bray and even he still kinda fits the mold of the same gruff grumpy dude but listen he had potential we could've had a batarian squadmate with a more nuanced take on the species like the one they robbed us of in me2 just hear me out okay

send me a character

OC Questionnaire

From @willtheweaver over here

Rules(I think): Have your OCs answer these questions and propose new questions for those you tag. ^.-

I am tagging @jezwrites @aziz-reads and @elsie-writes (if you do, indeed, enjoy these things)

Your questions are:

How do you respond to uncomfortable situations?

Are there things you only do when you're alone(what are they)?

Who do you run to when you're scared?

->My questions below, answered by the vamps of Before Deluca<-

1. What is your favorite way of relaxing after a hard day’s work?

"My love, you want to answer this one?" "I most certainly do not and you better smother those thoughts in something less filthy." "Or what, you'll be forced to make a scene...demonstrate, perhaps?" "Bête sale, do you want to answer these or don't you?" "Più tardi allora, amore mio." "Each other, darling. Our favorite way to relax is each other, though on occasion we do so with paint and music instead of...mains coquines--stop that."

We're going to duck out of here yes.

2. Did you do anything that you regret now?

"Non." "Truly? You can think of nothing you've done you might regret." "Mm...non." "Not one blood-soaked, pleading thing?" "As I have said, many times, treasure; I will never regret keeping you. Or anything I had to do to ensure you stayed. And you punished me for that already, do you have regrets?" "You know I do, and don't flip this around. You're saying, with all you know of me now, how I would have stayed for you and you alone--would have abandoned all I was for those moonlight eyes of yours--that you do not regret their deaths?" "Yes, my perfect treasure, that is precisely what I'm saying." "How, how could--" "They wouldn't let you leave. That Hunter would have been ten, on us before I could know you, and you me. Would you rather have woken in our ship with me to soothe your fresh breath of eternity...or in a spiked box, alone, serenaded by my screams and an aria of laughing mages?" "I...there had to be another way." "There wasn't, not in the moment and this--this brooding you keep doing for it is useless. You know it is useless. Do you even miss them? Even care? Would you have returned to visit, would they have welcomed you? They couldn't even accept who you loved, you think they would--" "That's enough, Lucient, you've...made your point." "Trea--Ludovico...my love, I am sorry for it. If only for what it's done to you. But I do not regret it, and I won't pretend I do."

We should...we should move on.

3. If someone put you in a position of power, would you be able to trust yourself to make good decisions?

They are both laughing. Can we get a verbal response here?

"Pardonne-moi, chérie, treasure, you may need to take this one. I cannot be trusted to answer this seriously..." "And I can?" "You can try." "Very well, my love, I'll try. No. Is your answer. In the simplest terms anyhow. More complex would depend on your definition of good. Ultimately, power for us would be power over the Council and I can't say what either of us would do with such control. Though I imagine it--" "Ce serait mieux que ces merdes irresponsables." "Language...my love." "Chut. It's a moot point anyhow." "Perhaps but, as you often remind, we are eternal. They are not. There's time enough for change and we could do better, couldn't we?" "A particularly noisesome mongrel could do better." "You're in good company then." "Did you just call me a dog?" "No, I inferred you were a particularly noisesome mongrel." "How about you follow me over there before anyone hears what I'm about to infer of you."

And there we have it...more or less.

[bloomboxygo]

What if I throw a curveball and say Stargazer Magician. If not possible, feel free to do Sora instead.

Oh man, that's an aimed curveball. A heck of a snipe, my friend. Sure, I'll bite! It's time for this experiment.

General opinion/how much I care about them: I'll admit, while the first time I've laid my eyes upon Pendulum it was when I was about to take a long break from Yu-Gi-Oh (due to no one at my friend circle at the beach playing it anymore because of Pendulums, then LInks), I've quite liked the design. I easily found it the better one of the two magicians. I can feel a sense of utter loyalty coming from this magician, a serene one compared to Timegazer's more eager one.

A ship I love: Look... Timegazer and Stargazer literally became one to form Astrograph Sorcerer. I pretty much made that Aria and Sonata's love made Schuberta, so it'd be hypocritical of me to not say these two share the most profound of bonds. They've always been side by side, they complete each other both in Scale form and in Card form, they create something new for Yuya, Z-ARC and everyone who watches the wonderful show these two bring called Pendulum.

A non-romantic relationship I love: This one's a tiny bit trickier. You could see Stargazer and Timegazer as overseers of Pendulum and their world, so there isn't really a defined, down to it relationship that each of them would have besides each other... In the Spirit World. Yuya is absolutely the answer overall though, as in a way, Yuya is the Z-ARC who managed to accomplish his goals, and in him, he sees his old friend and master whole and happy. It's like a proud father seeing his son mature and give him satisfaction as both of their lives become better. It might be a relationship mostly from afar at the moment, but Stargazer (and Timegazer) will always watch over Yuya with utmost care.

NOTP: Duel Spirit fics are pretty rare, and it's super hard to see a relationship involving Stargazer (or Timegazer) that is off the wall here. So... I won't bother thinking of one on the spot, thank you.

Biggest headcanon about them (I FORGOT THAT PART WITH YUYA I'M SO SORRY): Sometimes, ONLY Stargazer lights up as a Card in front of Yuya, and it's all because he wants to show him that there's a Yuya-shaped constellation that he oversaw in his studies as a Stargazer... Except the stars are aligned differently in his world and in Yuya's, so he's unknowingly off. That did lead Yuya to learn the association and to stargaze with Yuzu, and Yuya figured out a Yuzu-shaped constellation on his own. Very roughly, though, so she didn't really buy it easily.

An idea for a fanfiction I'd like to write/read about them: Off the top of my head, Stargazer and Timegazer using very limited communication to mess with Yuya a bit, perhaps sometimes one of them shines in morse code and Yuya wonders what's wrong with him.

Something that makes me think about them: Pendulum, of course, and the IRL Melodious Cards I have. I associate these as the last cards I've ever bought with the Stargazer who interested me, and Pendulum as a realm that I could never really reach because it wouldn't be wise with what little money I had. It unfortunately was a point in which I moved on from Yugioh... Before coming back thanks to Master Duel!

[aqqleshiqqing-archive]

If these are still open ...

One of my favorite things to imagine in my Poké.mon ship is Aria's team attempting to help her make Eusi.ne aware of her feelings. Or them just ... bothering him in general because they--like everyone else--are tired of this massive "will they, won't they" nonsense that's been going on for ages.

Vlad (Umbr.eon) just stealing something he's using (for some reason, Vlad taking Eusine's shoes is a common thought?) and running to Aria with it to force them to interact. Or Ollie (Megan.ium) gently nudging them closer when they're talking. He ... isn't the most subtle of Poké.mon, either (he has pushed them against each other a few times, which creates some awkard situations).

Also considering Dizzy (Lantu.rn) just splashing/spraying Eusine with water when he's being too oblivious/ignorant, too. Or Razor (Skarm.ory) pecking at him. Poké.mon are still living creatures, so the behaviors vary quite a bit.

And ... Eusi.ne's Haunter absolutely adores Aria. As does his Jumpl.uff. They will take her side on anything and it creates that cliché "You guys are supposed to be on my side!" situation for Eusi.ne.

Just some silly shenanigans on the Poké.mon side because my brain has nothing else specific ajsfjdjkskalaj--hope that's alright!!

~ heart-of-aspiration 📖

SKSKSJDHAAKASKAA OMGGGG I SQUEALED THE ENTIRE WAAAAYYYY AJSJDKS!!! I love love LOVE when 'mons are a part of normal social interactions and they would also be able to pick up on their owner's dynamics with anyone they talk to - it makes it feel even more natural and just great for a lot of good scenarios!!!

THE FACT THAT ARIA'S TEAM HAS LIKE A SPECIFIC ROLE... vlad, steal his cape - ollie go push them closer ... DIZZY HAVING TO SPRAY WATER IF HE SAID SOMETHING OFF IN FRONT OF HER IS SO FUNNY SKSKAKSKS it's them saying "quit being stupid in front of her!" it's almost like aria's 'mons want what's good for her so they have to make eusi.ne presentable for her everytime ...

and then there's eusi.ne's team who absolutely favors her - feeling a sense of betrayal on his end - this is the easiest way to win an argument 😭

it's honestly them just trying to stitch the couple together - if they're not making the moves, WE'RE doing it. and there's morty who has to watch this from afar and kind of hesitate if he has to interfere or not 😭

Character Songs Tag

Thanks for the tag @sillyliterature~! <33

Game Rules: Choose one of your characters and list songs that fit them.

So, I'm going to do this for my main Shepard, Aria!! I've pretty much taken the songs from her POV on my Shrios playlist <3 Under a cut for length!

High Enough by K.Flay

I don't like anyone better than you, It's true, I'd crawl a mile in a desolate place, With the snakes, Just for you Oh I'm an animal, hand me a tramadol, gimme the juice You are my citadel, you are my wishing well, My baby blue

I used to like liquor to get me inspired But you look so beautiful, my new supplier, I used to like smoking to stop all the thinking, But I found a different buzz. The world is a curse, it'll kill if you let it, I know they got pills that can help you forget it, They bottle it, call it medicine, but I don't need drugs

Cause I'm already high enough You got me, you got me good I'm already high enough I only, I only, I only got eyes for you

Till Forever Falls Apart by Ashe and FINNEAS

And if the sky falls from heaven above Oh I know I had the best time falling into love We've been living on a fault line And for a while, you were all mine I've spent a lifetime giving you my heart I swear that I'll be yours forever, Till forever falls apart

DIVING BELL by Starset

Oh, this wasn't in my plans Abandoned ship and heading for the sand Oh, the albatross crash-lands I've got the sinking feeling that I never can go home If I stare into the abyss, will it stare into me? [x4]

// In my mind, Endless sea, Calling from the bottom, But you don't hear me Send your line Down to me Meet me on the surface I will never leave Stuck in time, Stuck in me, Broken on the bottom like a refugee

The End of the Dream by Evanescence

I found a grave, Brushed off the face, Felt your light, and I remembered why I know this place. I found a bird, Closing her eyes one last time And I wondered if she dreamed Like me

As much as it hurts, ain't it wonderful to feel? So go on and break your wings, Follow your heart 'til it bleeds As we run towards the end of the dream

Under the Water by The Pretty Reckless

Lay my head under the water Lay my head under the sea Excuse me sir, am I your daughter? Won't you take me back, take me back and see? There's not a time for being younger And all my friends are enemies And if I cried unto my mother No she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me

Don't let the water drag you down [x3]

Broken lines across my mirror Show my face, all red and bruised And though I screamed and I screamed Well, no one came running No, I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you

OTHERWORLDLY by Starset

Otherworldly, otherworldly, I come alive when you are with me Otherworldly, otherworldly, Far away from all the mayhem Otherworldly, otherworldly, At the speed of light and beauty

I wanna become lucid Clear just like a window I tried too hard to open up And show you what's behind it But you didn't need to hear me, 'Cause you were supraliminal Knew me without an uttered word You always seemed to know me

How Not to Drown by CHVRCHES ft Robert Smith

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down This is the first time I know I don't want the crown You can take it now

You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king And those who kiss the ring

Tell me how It's better when the sun goes down We will never escape this town I wasn't scared when he caught me, Look what it taught me Tell me how It's better if I make no sound I will never escape these doubts I wasn't dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down

I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love That was the first time I knew they were out for blood And they will have your guts

Warm Water by BANKS

Looking you over and you don't know my name yet But by the time you looked away, already knew I couldn't fake it I got this need for you, forming in my beating heart I knew the meaning right away, We only yesterday were worlds apart

I think I may love you If you give me some time Maybe you'll love me too I got this thing for you

The Killing Kind by Marianas Trench

I roam these halls, search the night In hopes that I may see A remnant trace, a glimpse of you, I stare into the deep Singing I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know my love can be- The deep stares back, Sings to me, "I know my love can be The killing kind."

What if I was wrong by Never moving on I, Didn't realize who's gone The ghost in me was true but You were haunted too, just Didn't see it all along Nevermore to leave here Nevermore to leave here You should never be here I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know my love can be The killing kind

There's loads more on that playlist, but in the interest of not making this post ridiculously long, I'll leave it there!

So... we all joke about "who is going to tell Malleus it is NOT an otome game", right? I was listening to the "Make a Wish" song.... and thought: "What if Malleus overblots exactly because someone told him that?........ (Do not mind me, I am just shitposting)

Very rough flat colours - not indicative of final product - just a start and marking everything. Striped fabric killed me.

Masquerade

Ok, so… I think I am done with these two dancing! I had FUN with drawing this artwork, though it was also a HUGE challenge. I feel I got better at rendering in digital! The power of simping, I guess. And yeah, I promised to deliver Jamil (And Ashenviper) content and, while it took almost 3 weeks, I hope you all will enjoy these two.

To be fair, Twisted Wonderland somehow kicked my creativity a lot, and I feel much more motivated to do art. Especially Jamil art. Thank you, @masterofrecords, it's all your fault.

The masquerade event was just a perfect combination of beautiful Jamil and Azul, Venetian Masquerade aesthetic (love it, LOVE it) and the gothic architecture (that I am obsessed with since childhood and that I am trying to learn to 3d model). And it also kicked my memories of historical dancing, so now I went back to it!

Hope to make more art! If you love Jamil Viper and have any ideas for future artworks - feel free to drop an ask!

Ok, I know my anatomy sucks and my forshortening sucks even more, but anyway, dropping some of Weil's Jamil agenda for this week.

If for some reason you wanna see some Jamil art from me (because we need more Jamil on this site) - you can slide an ask to my ask box. No guarantees, of course - my motivation sucks the same way as my anatomy, but I will try my best. Probably won't draw any kisses because this is too hard for my poor brain. (Also, I am based to Jamil/Azul ship)

And here you have poor Viper starting his overblot.

Puppet Masters of Night Raven

Ok, so this is my super fast brainrot that I needed to get out of system to move on.

Got it when learnt what these two did in Masquerade event. We love controller casters in this house.

In other news:

Looks like Ruggie was the only one that did not get the baroque heels. Yes, the heels on all the other costumes are the one you wear for Baroque dancing.

Rollo, ffs, man, why the only guy you put in typical 18-century breeches and stockings (that accentuate calfs BEAUTIFULLY) is JAMIL. Don't get me wrong, dancing makes your calfs look suuuuuper nice, but Rollo, your brain works in... interesting ways.

(I admire Azul's self-control, he did not combust on spot when he saw that)

[landonkirbyappreciation]

Am honestly so tired of crying/stressing over Landon honestly, in the show they treat Landon like shit !!! And am gonna blame the writers, Landon as soo much potential to be a great character (he already is don't get me wrong) but look at how aria played malivore badass malivore so why can't we get a badass Landon too + his phoniex side??.. There is Soo many more instresting plotlines and storylines Landon could get and one that doesn't involve him dieing every second, using him as a meat suit or wrapped up in realtionships all the time ( I love handon Soo much don't get me wrong) but Landon as soo much potential outside of it all...

Nobody cares about Landon both the writers and other characters (expect for hope & raf) and it shows alot through them, if the writers don't like how they write Landon's character or even like Landon at all why not just re adjust his Character (not saying they should change his personality on how he cares about others even if they don't care about him or how he would risk his life for others) but at least write him a little better they fcked up his character from the very beginning and it's even worst in season three they didn't even show what Landon went through in the prison world and he was gone a whole season🤦 but the writers lazy enough to even care🤦..

My heart hurts Soo much where Landon is concerned and I honestly can't take it, he's gonna be in season 4 he's in 4x06 he anit gonna die for good, Dani said handon is gonna be on a pause and there's gonna be a readjustment period where they might have to find there self out of the relationship but it won't. Be forever. so during that pause I want them to actually grow is character explore him a little bit more give him some storylines etc then both hope and Landon can come back stronger than ever.. Brett said this season is gonna be darker so they need to drop the childish mentally when it comes to Landon because all they doing with is character is Soo fcking childish, it's time for maturity now you understand??.. in 4x06 he's gonna get a supprise visitor only people I can think of from the top of my head is his mom, Clarke or raf whoever it is Landon needs time for himself...

They even doing more for Cleo's character than they did for Landon's the whole show and see they even showing what Cleo is going through in the darkness which we didn't even get to see with Landon and it's sad, it's all obvious there tired of Landon's character so why not just write him off then ( tho that shit would hurt my soul even more ) but am just tired!!.. they bring new characters in like finch and Ethan and when they get them for what they need is like they don't remember there in the show there's no storyline or plotlines there just there🤦.

Landon gets hate outside of the show for stupid reason sometimes it's all because he's in the way of there ship.. So I try my best to stay on the handon side of the nation where there's majority of them some under quit but there's alot of handon's and you all love Landon so you get less negativity there when it comes to Landon...

I only watch the show for both hope and Landon as a couple and as individuals and if they keep treating him like this I don't think am gonna be able to continue watching cause my heart honestly can't take it 😭...

Sorry if this is long I feel safe here..

Me too, and seriously, the way they treat Landon is sick. And yeah, I already think Landon is a great character, I don’t need him to be a badass (though I’m not opposed to it), and I would love to see him with his phoenix side again. They really have completely wasted so many opportunities for Landon. And the thing is that they had these incredibly interesting storylines for him all set up that would’ve been amazing to see and they did nothing with them. Landon was in Malivore, which we could’ve seen more of, but they only chose to show him dealing with the Necromancer (which was better than nothing, but still). Then they show him having to do something he’d never do and beating up the Necromancer in order to escape. Then he’s trapped in the prison world and gives this whole speech about how he’s gonna get himself home no matter what it takes. And then they show NONE of it! It was the perfect storyline for Landon for s3, where they could’ve shown him learning how to fight and survive on his own, and who knows what he had to do to escape and how it changed him or affected him mentally and emotionally. There was just SO much, it’s still insane to me that they threw it out the window. And then the fact that he escaped but also somehow got possessed, which we still don’t know exactly how or when that happened. And then he was possessed for weeks, Malivore was hiding doing who knows what, and they don’t go into any of it? And they could’ve been showing Landon inside his mind this whole time too. Why are they not letting Landon participate in the fight against Malivore when he could be fighting him mentally? It’s just... it’s crazy. And they could also be focusing on his trauma as well, which could be another really interesting and important storyline for him and something they definitely need to do once he’s free, but you know they still won’t even address that after all of this. And then of course his phoenix side is a whole other thing they could explore too, actually explaining the details of what he is and what it all means, but once again, they do nothing. You’d think as writers they’d want to explore all these things, but no. So they actually have had amazing storylines for Landon, the issue is the fact that they didn’t actually show any of them. So it’s basically for nothing, at least in regards to Landon himself and his own growth and character arc. He literally had the most interesting and significant storyline in s3 that he might end up having in the entire show but it’s like the writers did everything they could to avoid showing any of it on screen. Because they clearly don’t care about him and have made the characters not care about him as well. And who knows if it’s even about them not liking how they write him, I mean, they’re the ones in control. So it’s their own fault if they don’t like him, it’s their responsibility, but they’ve done this all on purpose and who has a clue why? It feels like they’re just trying to appease all the haters, honestly. I’ve never seen anything like this before in any show, with them treating the male lead this way. But I think Landon as a character is written well, I don’t think they’ve screwed his character up. I think it’s the fact that they’ve neglected him almost entirely, his whole s3 storyline, his trauma, his growth (which we know he surely must have had), everything basically. So, to me, it’s not so much that they have to write Landon as character better, they just need to actually SHOW the story they have written for him and how that’s impacted him as a character.

So yeah, I feel you, I really can’t take all that they’ve done to Landon either. It’s definitely painful to see. And yeah, he’s in 4x06, but we also know he’s in 4x05 as well. So we know he won’t be gone for good, but yes, Handon will have a pause for whatever reason. And I agree, I hope they’ll do something to actually focus on Landon during the pause. I think he’s already grown and he’s already had more storylines but again, we just didn’t see any of it. If they were gonna do it right, they’d somehow go back and explore what happened in s3, in flashbacks or something. I think it’s so crucial for Landon’s character and to know what happened to him and what he went through. And then also focus on his mental health and his healing and recovery, while also hopefully exploring his phoenix side eventually as well. But I feel like we’ll be lucky to get any of that tbh. I’m not expecting anything at this point. Maybe his phoenix powers, if anything, but I feel like they’re gonna continue to pretend like nothing happened to him in s3. And it really is childish mentality, they don’t wanna address or explore anything that’s actually important regarding Landon. I seriously wanna know what goes on in that writer’s room... And yes, I guess Landon will get a surprise visitor. I just wanna know where on earth Landon is even gonna be after 4x04? Will be dead again and come back? If not, why would he be away from Hope? But yeah, I think it would make the most sense for the visitor to be Raf or Clarke or Seylah. But this is Legacies, it could be Santa Claus for all we know. 🙄 But I do hope that they’ll give Landon time to heal after all he’s been through, and that they’ll actually acknowledge that he’s been through something.

And ikr? They’ve done more for Cleo in this short period of time than they’ve done for Landon in 3 seasons. And yep, they’re actually showing Cleo in Malivore while completely ignoring Landon, who is literally possessed by Malivore and has been for how many weeks? Not that they’ll acknowledge his suffering at all. I just— it’s truly infuriating. But NO, I would not be able to handle them writing off Landon’s character. I’m tired too, believe me, but that would just make it all tons worse. Then it would just be done and over with no chance of anything good ever happening for Landon. And I get what you mean about other characters they add to the show as well, they just don’t explore other characters well at all and it is as if they’re just there? It feels like the writers don’t know what to do with the characters so much of the time, it’s very odd.

And yes, there’s been so much hate for Landon in the fandom for so long, and for the dumbest reasons, mostly just because of ships. I try and just stay on the Handon side of the fandom as well to avoid the Landon negativity, so that does help.

But same, I only watch the show for Hope and Landon as well. So it just makes it worse when they treat Landon how they do. That, plus where things have been going with Handon, it definitely makes me feel like I can’t watch anymore because it’s so disappointing. But I also feel like I’m always gonna want to at least see Landon, but it might be even more painful, idk. I guess we’ll see how it goes, but I understand where you’re coming from!

And no worries, I totally get it, and I’m glad you feel safe here, anon! 🥺❤️

[hawthorne-house]

Hello! May I have a a Hawthorn House After Hours reading? My statement is “Something in your soul is shining so bright and it makes me want to know you better” and my question is what does my soulmate look like and what can I expect from my romantic life in the near future? Thank you

Hello there, welcome to Hawthorne House. I'll be happy to do your reading for you however with some stipulations. I'll only be able to give you what I get and that means it's unlikely that I'll get looks specifically pertaining to this life or at all. If I do get anything of that sort I'll definitely share it but please take it with a grain of salt. I also don't really do soulmate readings so only take what you can or find viable to you and your situation that you can. "It's like trying to dress in the dark." As Aaloqui says. Well shit, I guess there is something to say about it.

You have the Lovers card coming out right from the start here so I'd say your romantic near future at the very least looks interesting. You could have a choice to make here soon to come out of your shell here with the Hermit also appearing with the Wheel, two of Wands, and Chariot. "Be careful what you wish for." Is coming through, not ominously but as something to be mindful about. "Ask and you shall receive but be sure you know what you're asking for." You have the Ten of Cups, The Seven of Cups, The Emperor, and the Nine of Cups at the bottom of the deck. I don't know if you just lucked out in your timing in asking this question or you had a feeling that something was coming but I wasn't expecting such a full on "Yeah that thing you're waiting for/looking for, that relationship you've been wishing for? It's coming and when it gets here it is going to flip your world upside down and push you forward into a future you hadn't even imagined." Or maybe changing things in a way you hadn't even anticipated.

With the House, the Garden, and the Key here. This is definitely giving me the energy that it's going to start at a social event, somewhere close to home, this could be a friend of the friend, friend of the family, a siblings friend maybe. It feels like someone close to you "Someone close to home". So you won't have to travel far yourself but you have the Ship at the bottom of the deck so I definitely think you will travel. For a very specific bit that may or may not apply. If you live in the states (American US) there's a lot of red white and blue imagery here and I heard fireworks. You might even meet this person at a fourth of July event if you go to or celebrate those. A light show and backyard grilling. It could happen that fast, that soon. This could also be at the beach or a pier or sailing with the Ship card coming in. And when I initially saw the lovers card I got something about a tattoo, a blue flower tattoo. Maybe a lily, lilies are coming up a lot today. Blue flowers and peacock feathers. Anywho! I hope that this was interesting, helpful, or affirming to you in some way. Thank you for visiting Hawthorne House. If you enjoyed this reading and want to check in on your may energy you can look at our youtube channel. Some of the signs this last round of readings had heavy romantic implications for the near future. Yours might have been one of them. Have a lovely weekend! Yours, Aria

Said this to somebody already just wanna hear your opinion..

Sorry if this is long I Feel safe here.

I actually just answered this here x (that’s my other blog, just so you know!)

[nosastrra]

top 5 relationship in me!

Oh, I don't even know what to include so I think I'll keep it romantic and...okay, I won't include my own ships.

Shenko/MShenko - again, surprise!

Shakarian - romantic AND platonic.

Talibrations - I still can't get over their ship name it makes me giggle.

Shepard/Thane - both romantic and platonic relationships as well. They play off each other so well, and I have a thing for relationships that can only end in tragedy no matter how they start. re: Orpheus and Eurydice.

Liara/Feron - now. don't shoot me. but hear me out, Liara had more depth with Feron than Shepard (she did with Shepard, I will never deny that, but I loved her relationship with Feron more - in that, just the potential. )

Honorary Mention #1: Aria and Nyreen. I just...I wanted more of those two. :( Honorary Mention #2: Kasumi and Keiji. Pain.

THE ONE WHERE WE ARE COMFORTABLE

WTN WEEK 2021 → day seven (episode seven) Hiiii friends so I decided to talk about things that bring me comfort and for me the thing that brings me the biggest comfort is the friends I've made on this board. I spend my time talking to these four basically allllll day long. If you can guess by the graphic above on who is who, but they have become some of my best friends so *drum roll* please and let me tell you about the people i consider to be my f.r.i.e.n.d.s.

MY LOBSTER Apparently, I am someone who when they find someone they mate for life. When I latched onto Elle I latched on and didn't (lol won't) let go. Like when I say she is my person I mean it with every fiber of my being. She is the soulmate. My wife. My lobster. She is like that perfect pair of sweatpants that you know are dependable and can count on and you don't want to let go of. She's like the television show that you need to put on because you've had a bad day. She's the first person I call when disaster happens. When I am having a bad day she is the first person I want to talk to and 10/10 she can say something to make it better.

We laugh until we cry and she likes to yell at me... but 9/10 I do deserve it. So, it is valid. If you see me flirting with her on the server (no you didn't) it's mostly because I can't help myself. So... just divert your eyes. It's very cliche to say that your life has changed after meeting someone, but that's what it has done. I am a better person for her, I'm more mindful, more open, and I don't think there isn't a person on this board who wouldn't say that Elle hasn't changed them for the better. It is who she is. She leaves you with something to think about, she challenges you. She pushes you. She has a heart for those who are misrepresented and misunderstood. I swear if Elle had her own talk show I'd listen to it every day. The girl is *passionate* and that is one thing I can't help but love about her. She is passionate about diversity, about the people on this board, I have watched her struggle with some hard decisions this year and how it has affected her mentally, but she also rises from the ashes because she has to. I have watched her countless times put this site above her own needs. I have watched her struggle. I have watched her doubt (herself and her future) and I have watched her wonder if she is doing the right thing. I have watched her feel remorse and pain and I'm telling you if you do not think Elle cares about WTN and everyone on this board then you've not seen her struggle the way that I've seen her struggle. It's probably why I'm so damn protective of her, but I don't regret a single second of it.

Okay, I've spent this whole time talking about how great Elle is but I've not spoken about the writing. I've run out of room... her writing is amazing, she is the one person I can respond to no matter what day I'm having and no matter what ship it is. I love all of our threads and I'm always so happy and excited to see an elle reply in my alerts waiting to be read and responded to! I find it hard to wrap them because they are just so good! If I have a day where I don't feel like doing replies good chance I'll still pull up an Elle reply because it normally makes my day better 99.99999% of the time. The .1% doesn't exist, but it's including the slight possibility of error and the fact Elle will have something to refute that claim with.

THE GIRL I'D MOVE FURNITURE WITH I don't think there is anyone else I want around my side to do some of the heavy lifting and I don't mean that in the physical sense, but in the writing sense and the mental sense too (tho I don't need to see Kae in real life to know that she's strong). You know that saying about people who struggle in silence. I think that describes Kae because sometimes it's like using a crowbar in getting her to open up and to TALK. It is one of the most frustrating things. It's kind of like a treasure box when you have the box sitting right in front of you and it is impossible to open. Okay, half the battle was finding it. You have the map in front of you and when you finally find it, it is STILL locked. That's Kae. It was quite the struggle in getting her to be open to more plots like I knew where to find and how to find her, but actually getting to Kae felt impossible even though I had all of the directions in front of me. But once you put in the time and effort to get to know her.... like *really* know her, it's like discovering treasure. Not only is she one of the most dependable writers (like I said she will carry the heavyweight in all of her threads), but she is one of the best writers! I love reading her threads even if I'm not in them, they always leave me on the edge of my seat and that characterization *chef's kiss*. MAKES JOKES WITH BC HUMOR IS BAE Oh you know the one who tells the jokes when they are uncomfortable. It is a friends reference and the only one I could think of when I thought of Aria. She makes me laugh. She probably makes me laugh more than anyone especially during WTNWeek because of these videos. When I say read something in an Aria voice I mean it! She isn't really that awkward!! But I'm sure she'll say differently so YOLO. Aria doesn't know a stranger, she pops into your DMs and suddenly it's like you have known her all of your life. We have not known one another as long as I have known Kae and Elle, but she fits in so well. Her writing is beautiful and I love how she is in my DMs daily with inspiration for our ships. I started out with zero Aria ship and Aria made two new characters just to have ships with me and I love her for that. I can gush about how amazing she is because she is one of those people who will provide you comfort. If she knows you are having a bad day, she will send you something to make you smile and she'll remind you that she loves you. And I can't even tell you how having those videos during WTNWeek has made my days a little bit better! If I'm feeling frustrated or sad I just turn one on and it has made my day ten times better. It's funny how she is young, but she is kind of my teacher. She sends me videos to help me when I don't understand something and I am SORRY Aria because you've had to send a lot of videos lately, but I don't think the staff could have made a better decision in asking Aria to hop on board. She is always so helpful and the thing is -- she *wants* to help. She wants to pitch in. She always puts her best foot forward and I love that. And cand we talk about those posting and organization skills #swoooon MY SMELLY CAT In reality I am probably singing this song to Jasmine, but I feel like you'd join in sooo here we go. I wanna preface and say I am not calling Bela a smelly cat! But she speaks in references I don't understand sometimes and sometimes she talks about these weird noises she makes so I think this description is perfect for her. Bela came into WTN and I normally have trust issues BUT I trusted my gut and Prudy is one of my favorite characters on the board. We have been trying to get her cousin on board for as long as I can remember. Prudy deserves all of the good things so I really wanted Bela to stay on board. I threw her practically everything I could think of and I am so glad I did because it has allowed us to get close over the years.

Bela and I have created some fun dynamics over the years between readie being the superior of them all, but we also created dynamics that I never expected to create like Manny, Sieun, and Dylya. They have come to be some of my FAVORITE pairings. It's kinda funny we often joke about how we only have one ship on the board, but it feel like we have a billion. Bela always enjoys sending me music, it's like when she knows I need some writing music, and that's part of the ways she fits into my comfort. Bela is a listener. She listens and she is one of those people who are easy to talk to. I enjoy sharing headcanons and future headcanons and character ideas that we won't create but would like to! I like that she is open and she is honest with me - if she is having a bad day then she'll let me know. But I also think we've talked so much that I can just tell.We are comfortable with one another and I absolutely LOVE it.

I know confetti has been going on for a while, but there are not many people you write with and write WELL with but I have found multiple people I LOVE writing with and I absolutely LOVE talking to. I have found my person (lol more like loml), my partner-in-crime (like if I'm going to go to jail I need her in my corner), my cheerleader (and child), and my ship in the night (lol, we gotta be on at the right time and at the right time to talk).
