#actually editing tags to add this bc it makes it funnier somehow

[arcademgmt]

ultra moon has been exceedingly kind to me in the shiny odds department over the years because it is trying to apologize to me for being the origin of what went on to warp my mind and soul forever

#context i picked it up to do some soft resetting while i tried to get to sleep bc i just kinda had the urge #and it's a mindless thing that has helped me fall asleep before #cue like. maybe 15 minutes in tops. under 20 resets. shiny mewtwo #and even with the absolute lowest odds you can get in this game that is Fucking Absurd #and this is the same game i had a like. 4 reset shiny palkia in #i think every single reset hunt i've done has flown WAY under odds #which is kind of funny considering my brother has gone over double odds with the same base odds before. Erm #anyways thank you ultra moon very cool #i actually want to hunt gen 4 rayquaza but i have to do some work so i can actually meet the conditions for it to show up #i wanted to start gen 4 mewtwo tonight but i did not bc UM was already in my 3ds #and i simply Did not feel like getting up to find heartgold. oh well #i have been itching for the masochism of older gen full odds for a while and just haven't gotten around to it #actually editing tags to add this bc it makes it funnier somehow #but my egg hunts in the original moon. not ultra moon. which have better odds than the resets. have historically been terrible #and way over odds #but for some godforsaken reason ultra moon reset hunts have always been like. blink and you might miss it

tag game!

tagged by @romanticism-is-maudlinism thanks! 💙

Rules: tell us the titles of all the WIPs you are currently working on right now and a little about them. Then tag five other writers.

1. You Don't Dare (You Say Love Is A Hell You Cannot Bear)

Merlin BBC. This is my Febuwhump fic. I'm basically done with it, so it's not super a wip, but I'm still going through and editing and might write more for it. Chapter 1 will be posted on uhh this Sunday, I believe.

It's Arthur pov. Set in early season 1. Sleeping Beauty themed events, minus any romance and more focused on Arthur's insecurity.

2. box

another Merlin BBC febuwhump fic, however I don't think I'll be finishing it in time. Merlin pov.

Basically Merlin hits his head and gets a teensy weensy bit held hostage.

3. somehow a SVSSS amnesia fic??

SVSSS. Okay I started writing it as a personal joke! But you know what, I might end up going for it.

So it's a canon divergence - a what if Shen Yuan really did have amnesia from the start type of plot when he wakes up. It's third person narrator, however it's heavily focused of the disciples (Ming Fan especially) losing their minds over this

4. Damian training?

DC. Damian pov. Set before he arrives at Gotham. (Maybe will add a chapter for after too??) A slight compare and contrast of what Damian's learned to be true and what is true, but mostly just a small outtake of a possible training scene.

5. The fabrication of the story is where divergent truths emerge

The Untamed. So this one is probably never going to see the light of day bc it's a massive project and I'm terrible at keeping track of timelines! especially in alternate canons where changing the timeline can have a huge ripple effect.

It's basically a canon divergence (set in the short span of post Core Transfer but pre Yiling Laozu) where Jiang Cheng politically, platonically marries Wei Wuxian to save him. No, really.

Political shenanigans ensue. Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying, and Jiang Yanli protect each other through it.

Somehow I think Lan Zhan suffers the most in this; but somehow incredulously Jin Zixuan is a close second.

(Yes this is Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji endgame.)

No clue who the main pov (bc all I have is the title and a very bad outline) but I suspect it'd be Jiang Cheng with the occasional WWX scene and one Jin Zixuan scene.

But I really do love the title for this actually. I think it sums up the future "misunderstandings" tag very well.

6. Clark Kent pov of Brucie Wayne and his new ward Dick Grayson

DC. So this one is mostly a practice run to see if I liked writing Clark's pov. So far, I'm not impressed with my characterization of him; which makes me delay working on it bc it doesn't vibe right yet to me.

Characterization is something I try hard to get how I want. It's usually not canon characterization, exactly, but I like to try and make characters feel like a real version of themself. So far, this Clark is very... imitation feeling.

Anyways, it's basically just a bunch of reporters at a press conference about Dick and Clark idly musing over it as he does his job.

7. chronic pain + chronic illness Eddie Brock

Venom. This one has been a long time coming. I had originally wanted to do this idea for Big Spoon, You Have So Much To Do but in order to make that one manageable to write, I didn't touch upon the idea of chronic pain+illness Eddie and focused more on figuring out boundaries involved when sharing a body.

So the original concept was far more serious in tone than the one scene I've now got drafted out so far. But it's basically at the core the same premise. Just... funnier and more light-hearted. We'll see how it goes! Who knows, maybe as I write it, it'll get heavier again. Either way is fine with me.

8. They'll speak of me (oh in whispered tones) and say my name like it shakes their bones

Merlin BBC again. Been shaking out the old cobwebs lately of fic ideas I used to have. Morgana pov. It's more of a character study warm up, like the Clark Kent wip. I have written Morgana before, but I've fallen out of practice in her vocal tics and characterization, and I wanted to spend a fic trying to to recapture that feeling of writing her again.

Plus, I really, really wanted to write a fic with these lyrics as a title. And Morgana suits them well.

Feel like I'm forgetting a bunch since I always just have a wide ongoing shuffle of wips I bounce around from.
