im like always resisting the urge in conversation to go "can you perceive me? are you perceiving me? do i feel like a real person to you? am i fully a person? what does it feel like to talk to me? how do you think about my place in your interpretation of the world? what do i mean to you? do i seem put together? do i seem like i know what im doing? do i seem competent? what is the version of me inside your head like?"

I think it's so funny when someone says "this is probably tmi" bitch, I do not care. You can tell me the most unhinged shit unapologetically. I live for it, let's go.

I was rereading adored last night (there was a blackout so I couldnt ask you earlier) but anyway I was reading it and I thought hmm the captain is rlly quite very autistic in this. idk I recently got a diagnosis and I saw myself in the cap a lot, especially in his rule following (the 'no kissing' rule and his original reservations to rekindle sex with pat come to mind) and the difficulty with regulating his annoyance around pat (I think at one point, its pointed out that pat rlly knows how to push the caps buttons). also the cap being funny about touch and humphrey respecting that and asking if the cap wants a hug after pat goes on the date. anyway, I was curious if this was a conscious choice or whether you were just following the caps character in canon (cause hes pretty autistic there as well) and I know ur great an characterisation but yeah. was the captains autistic traits intentional in adored? or was it unintentional?

(sorry for the long, rambling ask. adored is my fave ghosts fic)

aaah thank you, i'm very happy to know that adored is your fave ghosts fic!! that's amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

with regards to Cap being autistic - i have received many iterations of this question before, but I actually don't think anyone has used adored as an example yet! you're absolutely right that he can be read as autistic and I certainly would also be inclined to do that.

i did not intentionally write him that way at the time, but just tried my best to base him on what he's like in the show (i.e. an autistic king!). and as many people have pointed out to me now, i may also have a touch of the 'tism, but i'm not in a position to be able to get any sort of diagnosis and so i'm just vibing.

bascially, any version of the Captain i write is autistic, even if that was a conscious choice or not.

the urge to print out chap 15 of tqatd to check for errors is overtaking me

#we're in the proofreading stage but the words aren't wording #the only problem is that my housemate will want to know what i'm printing #maybe i will just say i'm reading my friend's story #we'll see

Oh i do have a question regarding LtF. In one of the notes at the end, after the picnic bit, you say an ill-timed question from Peter could've unraveled everything or something along those lines. I have an idea of what you mean but not entirely. Care to elaborate ?

Of course! there wasn't a specific question or anything that i meant by this, it's just that by this point Joanie has obviously done an awful lot of gossiping with Peter about the Captain and about Pat and about the two of them together and poor Peter wouldn't know what is common knowledge (and able to be joked with everyone) and what is something that will cause the Captain to go "um. what do you mean by that exactly?". so he figures it's best to stay relatively quiet and just let the general shenanigans of the group happen to him/around him and to get a feel for the vibes. and the vibe is that the Captain is absolutely clueless!

i hope this helps! happy to elaborate more! ❤️❤️

i can't think of anything personal that i haven't already shared here to be honest so take the one thing that i always break out when people want you to do the 'say one interesting fact about yourself' lol - when i was a young kid i once drew noah's ark on my bedroom wall in blue crayon and then ate the crayon to destroy the evidence.

🔪 + 🌿 for the ask game :)

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

okay i know for a FACT that i was looking up something the other day that was really weird but I can't remember for the life of me what it was. for tqatd i've definitely looked up a lot of weird stuff related to blood - how to get it out of clothes, can you heat it up, can you freeze it etc.

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity

buddy you're asking ME?? lasted updated the quick and the dead 25/06/2023 ME??

for real though my advice is don't beat yourself up about what you're struggling to write and focus on what you can do - either other wips or not even writing at all, like doing other hobbies or anything that makes you happy. it's important to remember that you're doing these things because you enjoy them, and any kind of pressure to write will zap that enjoyment even more! <3 <3

thank you!! ❤️❤️

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

I will always recommend anything by @patcaps of course, plus 'say don't go' and 'radiant' by @waydownatthebottomofnovember literally rewired my brain this past month. kind of thing where i'm listening to music and thinking of the fics, you know?

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

any comment is a beautiful comment to me. i do really like the ones where people are doing analysis/clearly typing the comment as they're reading because it gives me cool insight into how my writing is coming across in the moment. also the comments that say it's someone's second, third, fourth time reading or whatever, because i'll never quite compute that people come back to my work?

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

my ao3 was already hounds-of-love but i wanted something ghosts related that still tied me to that username. plus my previous account name had my first name in and that started to make me uncomfy!
