As a writer, I can guarantee we don't know what we want half of the time.

Some days we want people to obsess unhealthily and make fan art of our characters and make Pinterest pins on quotes and create those fake twitter posts and then at the same time I would rather burn my house down before showing anyone my work.

Who created such a mentally damaging hobby and can they give me my sanity back???

[wyked-ao3]

thank y'all

we cant hug in person but weve hugged a million times in my head ; u ;!!!!!

[wyked-ao3]

Thanks @the-golden-comet & @gioiaalbanoart

Jade: no and yes (his alcohol tolerance is low and he's a sad drunk.)

Oisìn: yes and yes (he's fairly well rounded but a little grumpy at times..he's fond of cats)

Daimhín: maybe and yes (is Oisìn around then yes and yes otherwise no as I guarantee mischief is afoot.)

Galen: yes and no (he's better with older animals but probably shouldn't be trusted with a very young kitten....just ask Jade who will start glaring again *not to worry the kittens fine.*)

Braith: no and no (ummm...yeah no to both...she's not exactly someone you want drunk as she may loose what little impulsive control she has and ahh she's never had a pet)

Morana: yes and yes ( she will be more baffling than normal and probably deeply confuse the pet but it'll be alright.)

Writers or other OC creators, I’m dying to know… which of your characters would and wouldn’t pass the “two beers and a puppy” test?

Your First Draft Can Be Amazing

I know, that's not what I'm supposed to say, right? I'm supposed to tell you it's okay if it sucks. Well, there's enough people telling you that, and I don't want you thinking you have to hate it.

It can be amazing. It can be the most wondrous feeling as a new story slowly reveals itself to you. You can laugh and cry and rage and sing as it comes together on pages, created from your mind, your thoughts given form.

It won't be perfect. The second draft will be better, the third improve even on that.

But it can be good and even if it's not, you are allowed to love it.

It's your baby after all.

[wyked-ao3]

first drafts are a necessary evil, but that knowledge doesn't make it hurt any less. like, what do you mean it can't be perfect on the first try? what do you mean I wrote all this just to rewrite the whole thing? rude.

[wyked-ao3]

He still sounds like a little shit but I absolutely adore the character. Thank you for telling me about Hans and I'm sorry if you never get rid of him...(I'm hoping you don't.)

P.S sorry for delay but was waiting for a headache to die down before reading it 🫂

I'm opening Pandora's box I want to know everything you want to share about Hans? I'm morbidly intrigued.

This has been sitting in my asks for about... A quarter of a year? Yeah, something like that. Let's just say he does not like being talked about (and I get a bad case of freeze-the-fuck-up whenever I try to say a word about him) so let's see how this goes:

Okay so here's the rundown on this guy

He/him (though if you taught him the concept of gender he might spontaneously combust from 'oh my god I don't think I'm cis')

Aroace. He does not know what that word means however.

Forest Spirit, born to the clan leader of the Ko, raised to be their clan leader (despite the fact that it's incredibly rare for men to be rulers in spirit culture)

Best friend: Dare I say one of his guards? He and Fala have something similar to a bestie vibe (after approximately 500 years of him picking on her)

Partner: Hash (in the sense that she is the person to hold him when he has nightmares and he is the one to rescue her when the consequences of her actions get too bad)

Honestly? A massive bitch. Such. A. Massive. Bitch.

So what's his history?

He grew up a fairly normal kid (by spirit standards), though rather friendless. That all changed when he found a ghost girl who mysteriously fell through the roof of a local storeroom. (There's a story about it. Go read it here)

Unfortunately for him, spirits hate ghosts. And so he killed and ate his parents to save her. Like a normal person. Because he is So Normal.

Anyways that automatically made him boss of the Ko clan, which he rather successfully led until the Godhuntress killed everyone (including his ghost friend). Now, said ghost friend turned out to be the Goddess of Dreams, having had lied to him for more or less his entire adult life. Unfortunately, he happens to be stubbornly loyal (see: Hash causing him no end of trouble) and refused to abandon her. That led to him accidentally witnessing the Godhuntress' secret to being so powerful, a secret he was determined to use against her.

So after all his people died, he ran off to the mountains as part one of his epic journey for revenge. There, he killed the current Spirit Empress, ate her (see a pattern?) and made himself Spirit Emperor.

Eventually, the Spirit Empress kills herself, leaving him to seethe quietly in a corner. That's when he meets Hash, who sneaks into his palace and attempts to rob him blind. Fortunately for both of them, Hans-el happens to find it absolutely hilarious and tells him he's free to stick around. The two of them hit it off really well, and they basically fall into a QPR (though neither of them call it that). People generally refer to them as each other's boy/girlfriend, something he absolutely hates.

Fun facts:

His name is very much a mimicry of a human one, to the point that its spelling is literally just a phonetic translation

Favourite foods are raw meat and chocolate chip cookies (but never together) Doesn't drink at all.

Has run away from his job (a bad habit Hash taught him) and done various things, including adopting a random human child and raising her, owning a mysterious cornershop, and starting a civil wad

Considered extremely liberal by his courtiers due to his pro-ghost stance

An excellent singer (due to forester culture, he had his vocal cords altered as a child)

Threatened to show up naked to his coronation because he didn't like the style of his clothing

Attempted to assassinate the Fae Queen after she called him short (the captain of his guard found him and wrestled him away)

Swears exclusively in his own name because it's funny to him

What's he like? Like actually, really like?

Let's pretend for a minute that you're a random ass servant in his palace. You'll know exactly 3 things about him: 1. He will have you executed and eaten for lunch if you upset him, 2. Ignore the weird ass shapeshifter that hangs around, that's his favourite, 3. He has a very strange and specific sense of humour.

Now, on any given day, he is gonna wake up approximately an hour after dawn, pull up in a dress and crown, attend to the morning's complaints, eat some poor soul alive for brunch, spend half an hour staring at his incredibly extensive collection of antiques, bother Fala and/or another guard, deal with more petitions/complaints, have talks with some official or another, invite them to dinner and gleefully remind them why people fear him (read: eating some poor soul alive) and then gallivanting off to bed with Hash, whereupon he will suffer nightmares of the worst degree.

He also enjoys playing tricks on the people of the palace at night when he can't sleep. This has included silently moving everyone out of their beds so that the gardeners woke up on the roof and the excavators (because he lives under a mountain) wake up in the guest halls. Now nobody can do jack shit about this because he's their boss, so they just have to pretend nothing happened while he sits there oh-so-regal like he totally didn't just fuck with them.

He doesn't come across as a prankster, that's the thing. Etiquette and a deep sense of superiority have made it so that he behaves like he's just an asshole. Underneath it all, however, lies a love for ruining other people's days, and a love for when people try to ruin his day. While he can't just let his assassins go (he tried, the captain of his guard told him it was a bad look), he does enjoy giving would-be thieves a boon, just because he can. Hash asked for a date with him, which flattered him to no end.

Appearance?

I don't have many picrews of him (see: freezing up whenever I try to write about him), but I do know what he looks like inside and out.

Because of a slight error in his vocal cord surgery, his throat has a shallow scar that he hides by wearing high-necked tops. He also loves gilded bell sleeves and wraparound skirts, though he will occasionally pull up in a turtleneck and slacks if Hash insists on dragging him out to human civilisation. He does own a veil, but he uses it exclusively when dealing with elves. Oh, and he has a pair of platforms that he goes nowhere without.

He's actually fairly average for a spirit, coming in at about 130cm/4'3" and 1.5kg/3lbs (yes 1.5 was not a typo. Spirits are 90% air). His hair is black and slightly wavy, reaching his neck like most foresters, his skin vaguely translucent, and his eyes bright yellow. He wears the markings for a forester leader on his cheekbones (though nobody understands what they mean).

And yeah, that's about it! Congrats on being the first person ever to get me to talk about the fucker who doesn't ever leave my brain? (I wish I was kidding. I need to evict him. Asap.)

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

[wyked-ao3]

congratulations on the anniversary and release of your game 🫂 I'm happy for you and wishing you luck with it. (I'll probably end up playing eventually but I have been kinda busy recently.)

This adventure game could be a lore handbook. PREVIEW TIME

Books frame the window over the last nook, a reading spot with cushions not unlike the floor pillows, and branches of multicolored leaves and flowers creep into your room. The wind invites you closer, and when you look outside, you find a view of the city embraced by nature, still and breathtaking.

may all the people who see this finish their current wip this year

[wyked-ao3]

1. What is the fastest you’ve ever run, and why?

Oisìn: Probably when we were running from the living trees.

2. Overall, how do you rank your fighting skills?(scale of your choice).

Oisìn: I'm not the best fighter but you only have to be better than your opponent...or have a few friends around.

3. Would you resurrect a loved one if it meant sacrificing another person?

Oisìn: nay, the dead should remain that way even if it hurts...

Y'all's questions: 1. What simple thing makes you happy? 2. What's a food you will not eat? 3. What's your alcohol of choice?

And here are the questions:

Who is the person your OC is closest to?

What's your OC's favorite season, and what about it do they like the most?

What's a completely random fact about your OC that no one suspects or you always wanted to bring it up in the story but never found a perfect scene to do it?

So, I've been contemplating on who should I select from my characters and I went with Nikolas! I've been talking about Adamas so much, yet I think I never mention his oldest brother nearly enough.

1) Who is your biggest role model growing up?

"For some reason, everyone always assumed that it's dad. There were days when I would seek out his validation since he always entrusted me with everything. I'd be the son he always comes to, and asks to help him. We always had a very strange relationship with each other, and to this day, I and my brothers talk amongst ourselves about this. He had his own unique way of showing love to all of us. Some of my brothers thought that I was more of a father to them than he was ever capable of being one when we needed him the most. However, the person I grew up looking up to was always mom. She was always there for us, and I often wonder if I made her proud with how I took care of my brothers. She used to always ask me to look after everyone if something were to happen to her, and sometimes I fear that I have disappointed her one too many times..."

2) What is a skill that you wish you'd spend more time on when you were younger?

"I don't know how to cook. I'm a terrible cook. I use so many spoons that Edvardas even once threw me out of the room. No one ever asks for my help because they know that even if I had the recipe sitting right in front of my nose, I would not be able to be of help in any way. I even once forgot that I left cookies in the oven and went to do something else, and 30 minutes later, Adamas came running to my room, screaming."

3) Savory or Sweet dishes? Why?

"Always sweet. This whole family runs on the sweets."

[wyked-ao3]

writing is hard. it’s frustrating. sometimes you’ll want to quit. but the thing about writing is that it’s not just about the final product. it’s about the process. the messy, chaotic, beautiful process of creating something out of nothing. so even when it feels impossible, keep going. because no one else can tell your story the way you can.

[wyked-ao3]

How I feel about my own writing when reading other people's fanfics:

I still look; how can I not? You guys are so great!

( Not looking for pity, just a chuckle. )

I can't decide if Jade needs to talk about his feelings or if he needs to just take a few steps towards healing from his trauma 💀 at the moment they are tied..... Talking in general would probably help some regardless.

Probably missed a key one, but whatever
