#and would be interested in writing in this verse

[quidfree]

hello! i've followed you to indulge in your TSH content, having just finished the book and your fanfic Sober II (Melodrama) back to back! (i'm destroyed!!)

i'm wondering if you've given any thought to whether Richard (Tartt's Richard, or yours) is gay or maybe bisexual? he ofc probably would not make that distinction himself - given the time period, or his aversion to that kind of self reflection, or the apparent finality of his relationship with Francis, or maybe all of the above - but it's fun to think about now, especially myself being someone who now IDs as a lesbian after 10 years of IDing as bi.

thank you for your service 🫡

hello! love your username btw. and thank you, glad to have you in the quidfree extended tartt community.

i like the 'tartt's richard or yours' distinction- i would say i do make an effort so that (to me at least) my richard is a plausible iteration of hers, i.e. i do not like to write so that the characters are 'my' versions unless i think the source material is bad (or at least bad in that specific way). but some of my less serious tsh material veers further into the 'my' side of the scale, for sure. anyway all that to say i don't have separate sets of thoughts on 'both' richards, it's more that there's some stuff i'm 100% on being in canon and some stuff i know i extrapolated into the extended materials my tsh fic constitute.

all that aside, i actually do not have strong feelings on whether richard is gay or bisexual. i think both have strong canon grounding and present similar but slightly different psychologies of the character. the obvious thing is that richard is repressing his attraction to men, but whether he's also comphet in his attraction to women is debatable. he's consistently attracted to them and sleeps with/dates them across all of canon, but on the other hand the key female love interests for him are 1) judy, whose interest he doesn't reciprocate 2) mona, who he sleeps with post murder in a fugue state 3) camilla, who he deifies as a feminine ideal and also always lauds the androgynous beauty/looks she shares with her brother of and 4) sophie, who does lend the most credence to him actually being into girls but also is someone he latches onto when his whole group has deserted him and then fails to emotionally connect with despite several years of dating. of course that could be the trauma, the repression, or both! but my point is there's evidence both ways, no pun intended. richard has very distinct ways of thinking about men and women but it's not as simple as one thing- there's his own self-perception/masculinity, his sexism, his homophobia, and his sexuality all playing a part.

you're right that he wouldn't make the distinction himself, though- either way, his canon thought process is very much 'well i'm not one of those' and that's a catch-all. if and when he gains self-awareness it would have to be through a prolonged relationship of some kind, e.g. with francis in sober ii-verse, because one-offs he can excuse and repress. which is why i think once that sort of long-term realisation happened he would think that he had been lying to himself/everyone the whole time beforehand and secretly consider himself a homosexual (regardless of whether this would be accurate).

i think modern day richard would be more likely to call himself bisexual regardless of which option you go with as more likely. you know that quote from obama's biography about reading marx to get with bisexual college girls... that's somehow richard-coded but in the sense that he thinks calling himself 'flexible' or whatever lets him sound liberated but plausibly heteronormative. in any setting francis delights in the corner he paints himself into.

Lucy was turned by a vampire working at Green Meadows. They recognized her visions for what they actually were rather than hallucinations, and knew that gift/curse would be magnified as a vampire (a la Alice Cullen). As a vampire, Lucy is completely soulless and evil. She’s not the soft and gentle woman she tries to be post-institutionalization in her other verses. Vampire Lucy draws a lot of inspiration from Drusilla Keeble and Baby Firefly. (Originally she was turned by Darla (from Buffy), but it was so long ago, I don’t even remember that Darla’s url anymore, so outside of the Buffy verse, I may still imply Darla turned her, but any interactions within the Buffy verse, it’ll just be an unknown vampire.)

#verse: vampire #its already added to my google doc #but i wanted to post it here #so people who already follow me #and would be interested in writing in this verse #can easily read it #and not have to go through the trouble #of going to the google doc to find the info

Sometimes I lay in bed trying to fall alseep, and I'm like: "Alright brain, let's figure it out. Where are we going with this fic?" And that's mostly how works my writing process.

#I imagine different types of scenarii #and then my brain stops on one because it's interesting #and it explores it #mostly it checks if it's doable in canon verse #if it fits in the timeline #if it's make sense #if it's true to the characters #at some point hopefully an idea or a sentence pops up #and I have to grab my phone to write it before I forget about it #the ideal would be to do that in front of a computer #but I guess this is not how it works for me #my imagination is at its peak when I'm about to fall asleep I guess #so I try to make the most of it #writing process #writing fanfiction #fic writing #destiel #deancas #castiel #dean winchester #my destiel fanfic

miguel’s character differences from the modern spider-men are really quite simple actually. he is a character foil to peter because he was specifically designed to be peter parker’s complete opposite from his very inception; he’s a character foil to miles because miles’s parents actually wanted and love their son. what’s not clickin

#talking tag #spider-man #atsv #across the spiderverse #spider-man: across the spider-verse #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #peter parker #miles morales #obligatory ''this post is phrased in a goofy/silly way but that does not undermine the sincerity of my claim'' #miles nd miguel both have very different approaches 2 what it means to be the matrilineally-Latino legacy spider in black & red-- #--and i do think there's an interesting analysis to be had vis-a-vis how their circumstances and experiences shape their vigilantism #as much as i goof on the whole ''it's really funny that PAD and BMB both gave their post-Peter spider-man the same-ish basic traits''-- #--Thing . if i had the spoons i Would be writing the essay on how it's SUPER neat how they both respectively handle the mantle pass

I've been reflecting on the fact I have a lot of 'first meeting' threads at the moment, so I just wanted to say that I'm happy to plot pre-established threads too and discuss pre-established relationships, whether these be friendships, familial, enemies, exes, mentor-type, ships or the day after a one night stand etc.

Equally, if we are writing a first interaction thread, I'm also happy to jump around the timeline for our pairing and set meme responses at different linear points.

Just thought this was worth mentioning for those that want to plot.

#Ooc post #((I have a few new followers but currently lacking time to chat...plot and write unfortunately)) #((So it's useful to have people consider what they might be interested in writing and whether something pre-established might work for them #((For Fallout verse - I would love to have bounty hunter Sam have friends that just constantly take the piss out of each other XD)) #((He was missing that in Western verses - though I'm not averse to a bro-mance either ha ha!)) #((Anyway I'll stop rambling now and get back to work))

who wants to get spanked by a gavel ?

#this is the official starter call for higuruma :') #but you liked the lowkey sc then it's all good i got you #i also have a teacher!hiromi verse if that sparks interest #i would like to try my hand at writing him specifically hehe #* ⟢ 𝐎𝐎𝐂 ━ ( clench your asshole super tight & scream it from your heart )

i have built a mini au in my head where after 9/11 owen keeps drinking, gets invited by a poker buddy to some interstate event, accidentally joins a cult (but like, a good cult full of good people. they've got some radical opinions but owen's sure he can talk them down from it, and the base beliefs are good, he'll Fix Them), and he is radicalised and never comes back. and TK grows up without his dad, and there's all the ups and downs and drug addiction and fighting to feel loved and he scares and scares his mother (he loves her so much) and he Gets Through after a couple of overdoses and multiple tries at rehab and maybe even finds paramedicine (I think he could), living in NYC with his mum, and he - one day - goes to find his dad because That's His Dad and he's at least gotta ask if he wants to come home. he at least needs to see him and tell him that he's still wanted.

idk. i have almost a drabble about this actually. is this as fun and interesting an idea to y'all as it is to me

#verse information #i'll put it in that tag so i don't lose it but idk what to DO with the verse. but if there's any! interest! in the verse! #i could write it up properly #anyway. your muses could also be in the cult! and tk could be there to pull his dad out and end up pulling them out too idk idk #i don't think - for the record - i don't think owen actually WOULD leave just because tk asked but i do think #tk arriving to ask him about it could be a catalyst and owen could get himself out. yknow? #i have it all so clearly. it's sharp #tell me which of your muses could be radicalised in a cult #or!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tell me who would see tk trying and warn him to stay away from 'those guys' bc they're a cult!!!!! #or tell me who would support him if they knew him in this verse and he came home without his dad but at least he tried!!!!!!!!

[smokedanced]

still absolutely hilarious how i feel like sam's mass effect verse involvement is something that i know more of even than dean's mass effect verse... what with, i don't even write sam as a muse, and it's dean's verse lol.

#; outofsmoke #so many thoughts about sam as this supervillain biotic mercenary leader #possibly taking over eclipse after archangel recruit #and dean secretly being in contact with him all these years without telling anyone #without even telling any potential love interest #dean's second game loyalty mission involving sam going from regular superpowered biotic merc #to his supervillain era #and like the obvious solution for shepard would be to kill sam #but this would lead into disloyal dean or even dean fucking off normandy a #hung up on his baby brother who he practically raised? seem #seems legit #but like sksksksksksksksks #i guess it's because dean is and always will be a tertiary muse for me #someone i like to write but definitely not someone who is easy to write or super fleshed out in comparison to primaries #IF I HAD VOICE FOR HIM I WOULD JUST PICK UP SAM AS A MUSE #i would have a mass effect verse for him ready and all looool #but i write a shitty as fuck sam so nope

[cookinguptales]

Moment from the podcast you might be interested in: Harvey and Parisa mention an extention of their scene that was cut about her trying to get Guillermo to dance with her, which can only mean that Nandor would like to dance with Guillermo. How does it feel to be Right? (Love When We Sway btw.)

!!!!!!!! IT FEELS GOOD?? Fuck, I would die if Guillermo and Nandor actually danced with each other in canon.

why would you cut that scene... why would you deny us this moment...

Release! The! Scene!

Bless Harvey and Parisa for making sure we know about this, though, wow.

#literally just woke up from the nap I took once we got back and saw this ask #I'm so happy and so sleepy hahahaha #maybe I'll write a Sway ficlet to celebrate... #idk if anyone would be interested in that #I still think about that 'verse so much #and what happens to them after the fic is done #wwdits tag #wwdits s4 spoilers #nandermo

SolNem 42

42. Chasing butterflies

"Apparently some humans used to do this with like, nets or whatever, I've seen it in vids," comes Sol's voice, as Nem edges closer and closer to the edge of the Garrison. "I'd kinda like to try it that way, it seems like it'd be fun! Probably easier than this, y'know?"

Nem peeks around the corner and there they are: Sol and the alien motherfucker trying to steal her whole goddamn life, smiling at each other without a care in the world. Her girlfriend's hair's down and loose and tangled, and as she runs around chasing some dumb bugs, Symbiosis is sitting in the grass and watching with a smile warm on his face. "You're acquitting yourself quite well, though."

"Ehh," says Sol, sticking her tongue out, and Nem has only one single moment to feel a familiar flush of anger at their obvious familiarity with each other before she adds, "Nem would be way better."

The anger dies in her chest. Sol continues on, oblivious: "She's always been way better than me at anything athletic or whatever, y'know? Like when we were kids, she'd always kick my ass at sportsball pretty much every time we played."

That makes the alien smile a little, eyes staring into some middle distance, like he's imagining it--like he's thinking about human children, the most vulnerable kind of humans in the world, and somehow that brings a smile to his face--but the smile fades soon enough into something a stupider person would call pensive. "I do hope..." he says, slowly, "...that my presence in your life hasn't...."

"Aw, bud," says Sol, before giving up on her latest bug and sitting down right beside him, close enough that if he wanted he could reach out and snap her fucking neck. "I know things with Nem aren't... I mean, they're not... they're not great, but...."

Sol has to visibly swallow at that, which makes Nem feel like shit even though none of this is her own damn fault. Just that stupid alien's. Still, any guilt dries up the moment Sol leans over to put her head on the alien's shoulder easily, like she's done it a thousand times. "You're one of my best friends too, y'know? I would've gone totally crazy when that stupid war started without you."

And that makes the stupid fucking alien look so fucking fond and warm and bright that Nem wants to march straight over, punch him in the face, and then drag Sol away by the wrist. That's her girlfriend, she thinks, her fucking girlfriend, not his, and he shouldn't be looking at her girlfriend like--

It takes her a second, to recognize the cadence of her thoughts, and as she does she feels sick. No. No. She's not going to be like that, not when she only just escaped it herself, and not towards the very person who saw herself standing in the jaws of some horrid beast and pulled her away before they could come down on her neck; she won't be that beast herself, she won't, she won't--

Her eyes meet the alien's, staring over in surprise. The blood drains from her face; with no care for whether anyone else saw her spying like a lunatic, she turns and bolts.

#sorry to take what was objectively a fluffy prompt and do This to it #but i think the way cycles of abuse and possessive thinking continue are interesting #and i think nem having internalized some of it from her time with olivace is like....... interesting concept #i dont think she would act on it! but i think the thoughts getting in her head is interesting #im also not sure i think this would be canon wwww its speculative #i just htink sol/nem where sol promises it'll be dif and like #then sol is bffs w/the alien who is part of the group that killed her brother #is like. fun. u kno #anyways it was a fun concept i think just post-peace is a reaaaaaaally bad time for nem lol #also if uve read my other stuff this is the same verse as the sol+sym on ao3 #i think sol being bffs with cal+dys+sym and then dating nem is really fun #ideological differences.......!!! #how do you writing #i was a teenage exocolonist #i was a teenage exocolonist spoilers #asks #anon #ask meme

I KIND OF WANT TO ADD ORPHEUS AS A MUSE... but i still struggle to fully grasp his lore and writing a character who knows everything about the plot when i know nothing is. very challenging.

#ooc #i know that his amnesiac identity DOESN'T know everything but i'm most interested in writing culprit!orpheus tbh #maybe if i focused on him in the supernatural/looping manor verse instead???? #and him be like. responsible for the initial games but with no clue what the games would turn into and with (some) missing memories too?? #hmm............. #idk does anyone have any ideas. how can i write this man.

White Knight

Annie January (Starlight)/John (Homelander) Warning: Homelander. The #Homelight situation and its implied dubious consent.

“Now that you’ve spoken out about your view on sex before marriage – do you have something to share regarding your relationship with Homelander?” Annie stares at the reporter’s lipstick-gleaming smile, a hot-pink contrast to bleached teeth and tan skin. “Our readers are dying to know – does he really land it home?” Blood rushes in her ears.

The flash of a camera reminds her to un-freeze her smile, but her stomach is in tight knots, her fist balled and hidden in the folds of her skirt. “I –“

“Excuse me, what was that?”

Her head snaps up, away from the woman and to him, right there, next to her, using that tone of voice in public. “What did you just say to Starlight here?” He’s smiling, the all-teeth smile, and his voice is light enough to make Annie dig her nails into her palms.

The reporter doesn’t pick up on that note in his voice, has no reason to. She turns her attention towards him, the same lipstick-smile now gleaming in the direction of what’s essentially a loaded gun. “Our readers are wondering about the depth of your relationship.”

“And what makes you think –“ Annie feels frozen stiff, staring his bright smile, those wolf-gleaming eyes. “What makes you think that that’s an appropriate question to ask?”

“The public can’t help but wonder –“

“No.” He shakes his head, one hand going up to stop her, flat of his red palm raised. “No, no, no. In fact –“ Raises his voice, all-American-authority that makes Annie sick to her stomach. “Everybody, listen. Stop the—No flash. I want you to listen.”

The cameras stop flashing, the reporters raise their microphones. The mass of bodies presses in, claustrophobic and unaware of its own vulnerability.

“I will not tolerate that kind of behaviour. You understand?” And his voice tips, gets cutting in a way it shouldn’t, can’t be in public. “There will be no more rude, invasive questions aimed at Starlight. In fact, there will be no more questions of any—“ Louder, colder, and she can’t let that happen. There’s not enough distance between them for her to properly use her powers and there are way too many people way too close for her to even consider that, but she has to do something.

She presses in, puts a hand on his chest. “Let’s go home.”

His head whips around and he stares, ripped from his speech. There’s a fraction of a second where his expression is empty, unreadable, and she tenses up, prepares. But his eyes widen, then his eyebrows go down, he tilts his head, his mouth opens, closes, a flicker in his lashes, a series of almost-expressions rattling by too fast for her to make sense of. Without warning, he leans in, folds himself around her, his arm going around her shoulder and his left hand to her hip. “Right, yes. Let’s go home.” His voice is a little lost, light, as if he’s just as surprised as she is to hear the words coming from his mouth, and she has just enough time to feel his grip tighten around her before they’re shooting up past the gleaming skyscrapers.

When she opens her eyes, the city glitters underneath them and the air tastes of ozone. It’s cool, the wind whips around them. His grip on her waist is tight enough to bruise and her fingers are clawed into his shoulders. “Hey, could you –“

“Yes, right. Sorry.” Absent-mindedly, he adjusts his grip, hoists her up a bit to slip his arm under her knees. It’s so quick and so gentle that there’s no doubt in her mind that it’s a routine move, that he hardly even knows what he’s doing. “Can you believe that?”

She’s resting against his chest, the leather of his glove on her bare thigh. The knot in her stomach pulses sickeningly. “That journalists ask indecent questions? Yes.”

He shakes his head, gaze lost in the depths of the sky around them. “Unbelievable. I should’ve punched my fist through her skull. Should’ve covered the asphalt in her boiling brain matter.”

Annie’s heart pounds in her chest. “Well,” she finally says, light and dry, “I’m glad you didn’t.”

He snorts at that. “Yeah, right. You know, you should be thanking me for this. They never asked Maeve those questions before she outed herself as a sexual deviant. And calm your horses, Jesus. I can hear your heartbeat from here.” At that last part, he tilts his head to look down at her, all smiles and electric blue eyes. “I didn’t save you from those vultures only to drop you to your death now, Sunshine.”

No, she almost says. She’s not afraid. She’s angry. She’s furious and disgusted and hateful. Except – She bites her tongue, hard, and kills that thought in the root. “I’d like to get home, then.”

His smile freezes. “But of course.” His voice is cutting again, haughty. “Hold on tight.”

She swallows, redistributes her weight to rest more securely against his chest. The angle is awkward, she presses her knees together and clenches her fists in her skirt.

“I said,” pressed through those porcelain-gleaming teeth. “Hold on tight, Darling. This might be a little uncomfortable otherwise.”

She exhales through her nose and puts her hand on his shoulder, turns her face into his chest. Shoulders drawn up, she closes her eyes and presses closer, pushes herself tightly against him. Then, everything is a rush of wind and ozone. It barely takes a second, but it feels like she presses her forehead into his warm-hard chest for ages, stomach in knots and heartbeat hammering, the leather of his glove skin-warm against her thigh.

Then, suddenly, he halts, abruptly enough that his cape whips around them. It contrasts with how gentle he lands on her balcony, boots barely clicking on marble.

Relief floods her, sudden and violently. She straightens a little, uses her hand on his shoulder to try and pull herself up so she can climb out of his arms, but his grip on her tightens. She blinks, turns her head to look at him.  

He meets her eye, gold and tan and ice-blue. When he speaks up, his voice is gentle and quiet, a secret. “You know, you could thank me. I mean, I did save you back there.”

At first, she’s frozen in place, staring up at him. From what?, she almost asks. From the innocent civilians doing their jobs? From a situation you put me in yourself? Anger rises in her throat, her pulse hammers against her throat.

She tries to think of Alex, of Hughie. Of the reporter with her lipstick-sticky smile. Her stomach is in knots.

She looks up into his eyes. Under her palm, she can feel the warmth of his chest. “Thank you.”

Tempted to (eventually) plop Geiger into an X-Men Evolution storyline. I don't want to add MORE to my plate but...

Lil' high school Lo? Her twin Connor still being alive?

Their powers manifesting together as teens

Raven having an internal dilemma over whether or not to recruit them and if it's even safe to keep them in public school

Lenore not only trying to figure out her mutation but also grappling with her autism diagnosis and bisexuality

Becoming good friends with Fred??? Bonding over the fact that they're both bullied for their weight??? FRED CONTENT. <3

Lenore meeting Toad in a remedial/special education class and they just spend the whole hour trading crude drawings back and forth until they get detention for drawing a monster made out of dicks or something. Constantly being in detention together like "WE MEET AGAIN."

Actually exploring the Brotherhood members and where the fuck are their parents?? why are they living in a run-down house with hardly any adult supervision??? why is no one doing anything

Connor being overly-protective because now his sister is hanging out with the 'bad' crowd and embracing her mutation while he's trying to hide his

Lo accidentally giving one of her friends/her first kiss a 'mild' case of radiation poisoning and feeling like Hot Dogshit about it

Connor being friends with popular kids while Lenore is in a comic book club

Lo joining the Brotherhood while Connor joins the X-Men??? the drama

idk I just want it

#My Atom Bomb will still be my first priority even if I do start a new fic #but it would be fun!!! #'canon' verse Lo never went to public school and is almost 30 so #the drama in the fic is much more dire and adult #putting her and her brother in high school would be interesting #showing how they drift apart because of their different reactions to their mutations AND academic/social ability #also Evolution Toad is so much different from the version I write so I'm curious if they'd still have chemistry

Ryouga doesn't know how to face Yuma.

God, it pisses him off. That he's still such a coward, even now, who doesn't know what to say to the boy who should be his friend. ...Or is he an enemy?

Even now, he doesn't know what to think. It wasn't easy, turning his back on Yuma and the people he'd grown to love to fight for the Barians after remembering the truth of it all. It had been painful, hard, and cruel. ...But even that feels easier now than this shitty uncertainty that haunts him now, pulling him in two different directions, making him want to scream and just give up, but-

He can't. Not yet.

After he'd lost that duel to Yuma, he'd wanted so bad to believe that a miracle really was possible. If only he could put his faith in him one last time... but now that Ryouga's been revived, months into the past without explanation, he doesn't know what happened to the world he left behind. He doesn't know if Yuma and Astral's resolve was empty, or if they'd managed to find a way to save everyone - but even though nothing's changed... Ryouga just can't find it in himself to betray Yuma again for a second time.

"Yuma...?" Eventually, Ryouga speaks up. His heart is hammering in his chest, and he feels sick. "I... I need to talk to you for a moment. About something important."
