Heheheh, here i go and I wanna know your
Favorite tropes
Kpop bands
Female characters
Ice cream flavors
Words in your language
bestie i take days to answer single questions and you've given me 5 😭 okay then, let's get to it!!
Tropes💘
a few things i go insane for:
power couple or stick it to the haters
when the characters know each other so well and prove their bond to outsiders. this includes but is not limited to:
"he's a monster!" "no, he isn't." (LBFAD)
"he'd never fall for someone like her" *he's head over heels* (Itazura na Kiss)
"i won't allow it!" *proceeds to give their blessings because they finally see how they're giving their kid what they failed to* (alternatively the couple flips them off and rides off into the sunset) (F4: Thailand iirc)
contract marriage or alternatively fake dating
nothing like faking it into making it 🥰 bonus points if a cocky mean outsider is into one of them and knows that it's a scam so they get a nasty surprise (idek where that is coming from but I've seen smth like that fs)
this trope's sister:
forced proximity combined with enemies to lovers
(one bed™️ can fit into this category)
oh to start on the wrong foot with someone but then be forced to see them in their natural state and appreciate the way they tie their hair before doing the dishes and help out the neighbours bring their groceries upstairs. to lie in bed thinking about how they bought an extra soda can ("it was on sale" ) that is coincidentally the flavour you love but they find gross. this trope is the gift that keeps on giving, you get domesticity, you get gradual mutual understanding, seeing them at their most vulnerable, it's so good. and they're basically prepared for marriage lol
introducing a bunch of diverse characters quickly through narration
i'm a sucker for a good variety of characters having unique to them intros (murder mystery staple) esp when it's like the camera going through an apartment building and you learn what type of person lives on each floor, it's so fun
found family or supportive friend group
again, usually a colourful bunch of characters, this time united by their love for each other. the compassion, the warmth, the shenanigans, it's so good 😭 (thinking of the kitty gang and the uncanny counter squad lol)
Kpop bands💫
for bands it's
1. Day6
2. The Rose
3. N.Flying
and then Xdinary Heroes, Lucy and FT Island sharing a spot ig haha
as for groups..i's insane to even think about it, I just know Seventeen and Day6 are on there, everyone else is depending on criteria lol like whose albums have i listened to the most? Ateez, Monsta X, Got7. who are legends i can't not mention? INFINITE, SHINee, EXO, BTOB etcetc. don't do this to me lmao
Female characters 🪷
I'll just have to go with ladies in bl because otherwise it's impossible
1. Hashimoto Mio (Kieta Hatsukoi)
2. Photjanee (MSP)
3. Yan Li & Wen Qing (to me they're sisters and they're sharing a spot idc) (CQL)
4. Fujisaki Nozomi (Cherry Magic)
5. Miriam (Tonhon Chonlatee)
shoutout to my love Jingjai from Home School 💓
Ice cream flavours🍦
in no particular order:
1. chocolate
2. yogurt
3. pistachio
4. raspberry sorbet
5. caramel
Words in your language 🔤
as I refuse to flat out state where I'm from you're getting descriptions of words lmao
the word for love with the connotation of it not being romantic (but could also be used for romantic love)
the word we use as a replacement for any place, action, quality, as a verb, adjective, noun or adverb when the proper word doesn't come to mind (works best if the other person has context, otherwise they're just listing out things you could mean and you get gradually more frustrated that they don't get it)
a made up word combining a word for idiot and the name for a french bulldog (I will not be explaining but it's hilarious)
an adjective from the word for moon that describes moony things like light, stone, cycle
and not one of my faves but a fave to use with kids - an endearing nickname from the word for sun

LETS GO MIRAI NIKKI LIVEBLOG THIS TIME HOPEFULLY WITH SCREENSHOTS
(update: nope didnt work. guess i do have to save the pics separately and not just copy-paste them into an rtf o well)
last time on: is Gasai trying to kill them??? i have no idea last time she was onscreen they (she and Yukki) were drinking soda from the vending machine????
I LOVE AKISE AND HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS SO MUCH
like theres the normal guy freaking out and then theres this beautiful white haired disaster
meanwhile I think Yuno is??? roleplaying??? like she counts on him being non-responsive to play out her fantasy of being a caring housewife? anyway yeah she's done this offscreen huh. that was a jarring transition
AND SUDDENLY OPENING
its somehow SUDDEN every time and I admire that
man I love this opening so much and I cant take a single screenshot reflecting how awesome it is because the entire Thing is constant movement
so hey Akise whatcha thinking
man I love just the CONTRAST
Akise:
Other people:
what is it with me and characters who never show their emotions on their face or in their voice but act exclusively based on them??? like theres this very specific anime trope of a white haired character who is stoic as fuck but instead of making rational decisions motivated by human people logic they do 100% self-destructive things based on curiosity / love / sense of duty / whatever the fuck else and in the end they appear to be missing precisely one emotion and that's self-preservation
(yes self preservation is totally an emotion look it up)
Akise is that exact trope and I LOVE IT SO FUCKING MUCH
meanwhile, Yuno is having trouble feeding an unconscious prisoner... what an unexpected problem that could in no way be foreseen. let me guess: she's going to try to wake him up so he can swallow his damn katsudon
ah no instead Hinata intervenes. hon SHE BEAT HIM UP AND TIED HIM TO A CHAIR HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK SHE CARES IF HE WANTS KATSUDON. what made you think speaking up was a good idea here
theres a meme of 'ask someone whos not in the fandom to interpret whats going on in this picture' but you know i think random ppl would identify this situation 100% correctly +- who Hinata is to Yukki. this anime is a cultural icon
"Aren't you Yukiteru's girlfriend? Can't you tell?"
I love the moon logic this anime operates on, that people inside it are forced to work within. Hinata knows how to put it in the one and only way Yuno would be willing to engage with it, ha.
Aaaand looks like it's less roleplaying and more delusion. oh Yuno
ah she figures out how to make him open his mouth by pressing on his jaw
Yuno honey maybe the police wont come after HIM but after the shit you pulled it sure as fuck will come after YOU
then again according to Akise it was coming after you anyway I guess
I'm morbidly curious as to exactly how Yuno is going to organize Yukki peeing >_<
huh, a sock
aaaand Akise goes for the win! two skulls
alas I already know One Spoiler that they are her parents, and her actions Almost Kinda Make Sense in that dream logic way
so I think last time we saw the bodies they were mummies? but now that's definitely skeletons. huh
okay I'll be honest this is a reaction I did not predict
this anime keeps surprising me with happenings that make perfect sense in retrospect, I really respect that about it
OH IS THIS THE SCENE THAT SCREENSHOT SET WAS FROM
NO I THINK THAT WAS YUKKI ASKING HER
but Akise what the fuck are you counting on, that she'll come murder you in person??? I doubt all three of you could overpower her in Murder Mode tbh did you see her with an axe
oh right you didnt :>
OH HEY THAT'S CLEVER
I like how Yuno goes between 100% self-delusion about Yukki and painful 100% sane clarity about the horrible stuff
with the other option being relatively normal interactions with Yuuki, memory suppression about murders and cheerful willingness to kill anyone for Yukki
I think that second option really is better for her long-term )=
you two do you realize she hears you as well maybe shut up
okay no not really -I- know she's thinking because of the camera movement and stuff, -they- don't
aaand she laughs. i dont think anyone (other than Akise I guess) saw this coming
okay yeah looks like the gamble failed. the mind-preservation instinct of retreating into delusion overpowered the more mundane concerns
so that's totally ventilation up there huh. I'm not sure if the gas plan will work for her huh
so hum moment of truth WILL Akise send the email to the police or was that just a threat? (orrr the police might know already? he might have told That Nice Cop Guy about it)
awww Kousaka's dying message is kinda cute
kinda superfluous - the police already know who they're looking for - but nice
AHAHAHA
POST LIMIT
THAT'S KINDA HILARIOUS
THAT'S WHY EVERYONE ELSE JUST USED THE MEMO FUNCTION
ah no the rank increased fair enough
wait what?????
what the fuck @ Deus
ah okay to clarify: what the fuck @ 8th
well hey it worked out!
I still quesiton a ventilation duct in a gassing room but hey I guess there was a lot of gas and Yuno didn't see a reason to conserve it
and Kousaka's question is of course why the fuck is Yuno in her underwear. I mean... fair enough, I'm kinda curious too
omfg
HELLO POLICE I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A MURDER
oh right... bad joke
anyway I like how camera doesn't play along with Kousaka, while he's saying he's the ultimate weapon he's literally blocked by Yuno's head. we know who the main character is
oh hey Yukki is coming to his senses!
but can't talk huh
right I figured it'd be the soda
*whaps with newspaper* NO
NO BAD YUNO
STOP THAT
(she's drawn so prettily tho damn <3)
oh my sweet summer child you don't know the rules of this game AT ALL
hum and the girls can't escape the same way he did because they aren't tall enough
dude she's gone up against like five diary owners already and came up on top every time
you don't know who you're challenging
huh she actually agrees to play the game
wonder if that's genuine or if she has a plan
like, I can imagine she's just been pulled into the situation and the role of the big bad setting up traps enough to enjoy toying with people and not just getting her way
at the very least she hasn't axe-murdered him... or Hinata for that matter... yet
SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
it definitely wasn't just one event tho. Yuno doesn't act like someone who used to be a normal healthy kid in a supportive environment until One Bad Thing Happened and took their entire world. No, Yuno is acting like someone who'd built up the dissociation/delusion defense mechanisms over a long, long time, like, say, a victim of abuse who finally snapped and then didnt find a way to snap back
I just wanna knooooow
OH MY GOD SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS A PLAN
IS IT NECROMANCY
IS SHE GONNA DRESS UP YUKKI AND HINATA AS HER PARENTS
WHAT THE FUCK
hum what did Yukki realize
that's not a key is it?
IT ACTUALLY WORKED I CAN'T BELIEVE
aaand
yeah
at least she didn't kill him... immediately
hum
Hinata and Yukki are both tied up so I'm not sure what they can do together behind Yuno's back but I know a foreshadowing shot when I see one
for all that this anime keeps genuinely surprising me with twists, it does take care to make the events easy to follow, and I like that
this is Quality Storytelling
yeah but it would have shown a Dead End, right??? or does it not work like that because it's like a 'secondary' diary, an offshoot of the 8th??? I wonder
AHAHHA sorry Yuno
you're used to being up against diary owners, but so is Yukki, and he's been growing more competent at this too
NICE
and she'd given him his own diary -> ???? brilliant decision
but seriously if Hinata did something to Yukki wouldn't that be predicted
orrr I guess Yukki's actions were actions of a diary owner so when he made a new decision based on his diary (again, brilliant decision) it changed he prediction
ooooohhh she kicked the key
that wasn't doing anything to Yukki in itself, it just enabled Yukki to act, which, again, the actions of a diary owner
three diary owners?????
please tell me that's Akise and Mao and oh right Kousaka was the third one
the math doesn't add up :x
I think the three diary owners would be able to find them bc of Kousaka's Diary and that's the 8th's plan
this must look so utterly surreal from the side
Yuno? You're not going to drug me and tie me up and try to kill my friends, are you?
This girl seriously needs to learn how normal relationships work and I Yearn to learn what the fuck fucked her up like that.
BAD MOVE YUNO
HE ALREADY TRIED THAT
THIS IS THE RESULT
congrats Yuno you Fucked That Up
sorry but... yeah. you deserve this
???? someone in the cast lives in an orphanage???
I'm calling Akise in that case
oh nm it's something else huh
ah that's what it was
oh Kousaka everything about you was a bad idea
...
...
what
it really, really fucking isn't
Yukki acted on information he had, and made the best decisions he had available. but he can't control other people's actions
...are these... the apprentice diary owners? how does the system work, anyway? how does the 8th send them after anyone? Kousaka has no clue...
uh was the dramatic slo mo effect in-universe too??? they were kind of racing on opposite lanes that couldn't have taken more than like. two seconds
see that's not wrong but. you really need to up your girlfriend game
dammit im just rooting for Yuno in all this. you go girl. you fight your inner demons and figure out a happy ending for yourself
damn that felt like a really long episode. probably because of the screenshots
here's a proposition of a new function for the tumblr staff: uploading .rtf files automatically, splitting into several posts if they are too big. thats the kind of convenience the social media is supposed to offer, right?
oh hey Murmur's diary! third installment of the You Saved Me series
beautiful
you naive fucking child
oh my god Murmur
MURMUR NO
so was this, like, a dream or something?
hum
interesting

ALL 50 QUESTIONS BITCH
HECK
1: Age Group For fic tbh whatever, I know a lot of people in fandom are underage and are exploring and figuring out what they like, etc. Plus not all my stuff is explicit, and some of the stuff that is still isn’t porn so. As for original stuff that will likely all be explicit as well, so an adult market audience.
2: Genre Usually fantasy, sometimes science fiction.
3: Big Idea or Detail Oriented Outlining binch i cant outline for absolute shit. I guess big picture but like…. ?? the biggest possible picture, almost to the point of being useless lmfao. someone help me.
4: Line Editing or Plot Revision I prefer line editing for fics because I’m lazy and it’s for free, but overhaul type revision results in a better finished product so I use that for original stuff (and commissions).
5: With or Without Deadlines With deadlines, definitely. I can crank out 1k in an hour if I have a deadline, but without one it can take me 2 years to write just as much (see: Zwangsneurose, started the second I got home from seeing The Winter Soldier, still not finished, word count at ~800 lmfao).
6: The Biggest Compliment I love it when people mention details that they noticed! Or if god forbid I was funny once.
7: Current WIP Length I have 12 fic WIPs right now and the longest one is 7.7k. I have 4 original WIPs right now, but they are all in development stages, with no word count yet.
8: Author Comparison Goal @neil-gaiman 110%. He is my ultimate goals and a huge inspiration, not to mention just a plain cool guy. I also would love to be compared to Rick Riordan or Gillian Flynn.
9: Biggest Struggle Foreshadowing probably. I sort of wing it as I’m writing, and I can’t do a very good outline like I said, so it’s tough to get good hints and clues as to what’s coming. That’s part of the reason my originals are taking so much development (not just because I have to fill in all the worldbuilding that is already mostly done for fic).
10: Brainstorming With Others or Alone I like to do a bit of both. I really appreciate input, plus talking things out can really get the creative ball rolling. But I like to get into Deep Shit on my own too, especially with worldbuilding. I’ll always share with others though, even the stuff I wanted to come up with all on my lonesome.
11: Characters Based on Real People I’m sure there are aspects of people I know, and of myself, in every character I create, and likely even in characters that have already been created. What you know will always leak into your writing. However, I don’t usually base a character fully (or purposefully) around one real person. I do namesakes though, but they’re almost never modeled after that person, it’s just a shoutout to someone I find inspiring in some way.
12: Writing Space Clean or Cluttered cluttered af binch u been here & seen it smh make me drag myself in front of everyone……
13: Character Driven or Plot Driven Always character driven!! what kinda question
14: Favorite Writing Related Quote “Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which sometimes pay the rent.” - guess who lmao
15: My Characters in Someone Else’s World I would transport my characters into (brace yourselves for a shock lol jk) American Gods, primarily so that they could get some good old fashioned “help” from the Big Guys.
16: Movie or TV Show Well two of them have pretty finite endings. The romance legend could be a tv show but with a limited amount of renewal, ala A:TLA (but I’d like it better as a graphic novel). The vampire tragedy has a very finite ending so that would make a better movie. And the witch noir and girl gang are both a bit neverending-WIP-ish so they’d make pretty good shows.
17: Soundtracks Yes! They help keep me focused and writing in a cohesive tone when I have to leave and come back. Y’all can listen to the playlist I have for witch noir here. Eventually I’ll split it up for character and/or scene mood, and I might add some scene suitable ambient noise tracks too.
18: One Song to Sum It Up witch noir - Temptress, S.J. Tucker romance legend - Take Me to Church, Neon Jungle vampire tragedy - Bodies, Celia Pavey girl gang - Weapon, Bastille & Angel Haze & FUGZ & Braque
19: Me There or Characters Here …me there, I guess? In the romance legend, vampire tragedy, and girl gang not anything would really be different, but in the witch noir I’d probably have inherited some sweet powers. Not many of my characters are very friendly tho lmao.
20: Most Wanted Adaptation Probably (a piece of) the witch noir. It’d be neat to actually see all those neat film noir lighting tricks.
21: Finish Uh. I finish one shot porn a lot? lmao. Other than that, damn… no.
22: Made Myself Cry lol yah
23: Proud or Anxious usually I’m more proud, but sometimes when it’s something that’s very deeply personal or controversial I can get anxious.
24: When Did I Become a Writer tbh sometimes I think I came out the womb that way. I don’t remember not being a writer, and I know I had legit novel ideas as early as like 3rd grade, and was making shit up with pretty words even earlier.
25: Must Reads in My Genre three guesses what i’m bout to say y’all. Literally anything by Gaiman. Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart series. Any Pratchett. Donna Gillespe fucked me up with The Light Bearer. Bear Daughter by Judith Berman (although that is kind of a tough read, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for everyone).
26: My Genre Needs More… Diversity in general, specifically more people of color, queer people, and people with disabilities (that aren’t magically erased). Also in my opinion there needs to be more things in between grimdark and go-lucky fairytale.
27: Inspiration Source History, anthropology, and pseudoscience.
28: Character Naming Stress from 1-10 Probably about a 2 or a 3. I use behindthename.com which can be searched for meanings, sound patterns, usage, and origin, and has a handy “name themes” search algorithm. I also recently found the legit U.S. census thanks to @peppersandcats helping me out with search terms, and that can be sorted by ethnicity, gender, time period, and geographical location. So I’ve got names pretty well covered!
29: Underwrite or Overwrite First Drafts It could go either way, but generally speaking unless I have a word limit I usually like to add more during editing. Except when something is confusing or too complicated, then I’ll cut it.
30: Calming or Stressing Not really either tbh. I enjoy it a lot, but it’s mostly exciting! Not calming or stressful, but either a fun adventure or a challenging puzzle.
31: Favorite Trope Tough to pick just one tbh. I love tropes when they are done “right”. Even tropes done classically can be great (as long as they’re not -phobic of some sort), but I especially love when they are done satirically or inverted.
32: Backstories for Side Characters Guilty af. Even characters that might not even make it into the finished book have backstories, personalities, and quirks.
33: Characterize Before Writing or Develop with The Story A little bit of both. I like to have a solid character to work with at the beginning, but for in-text character development I like to let that unfold with the plot and the other characters.
34: Old Writing in One Word Prolific
35: Villains or Heroes I like them both pretty well, but my favorite characters of all time are always a little ambiguous so if I had to pick just one kind that’s what I’d go with.
36: B&W Morality No way! I live in the gray area.
37: Advice Have fun! Be proud of yourself for what you come up with and celebrate your creativity even if you think it doesn’t compare with other writers. The happier you are to create, the more creative you’ll get. Also, like with any other kind of art, pick a couple role models to emulate and that will help you develop your own solid style.
38: Advice I Fail At The first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. I spend too long line editing while I’m writing my first draft and that makes it a lot harder to finish anything.
39: Importance of Positive Reinforcement I’d say reasonably important. Definitely helpful. But I know I’ll keep writing even without it.
40: Question for Favorite Author How much difference is there between how his creation is in his head versus how it came out in the words, and does he ever think about rewriting things that are long finished?
41: Distracting to Read While Writing Actually, no. Reading other comparable works helps keep me motivated, inspired, and focused.
42: Motivated or Discouraged by Critiques Tbh I don’t think I have ever received a real in-depth critique so I’m not certain? I’ve had idle “I liked this, but I didn’t like/understand that” type of feedback, and that has usually been pretty helpful and appreciated. If nothing else it lets me know what parts of the story might not be as accessible to an audience.
43: Protagonists in My Likeness Yes, there’s a little of me in very many of my protagonists, and often even in fic characters that I write. But, like with other real people, they’re not usually modeled after me, we just have some stuff in common because I leak over into them (and sometimes they leak over into me) when I’m writing them.
44: Choosing An Idea This is something I struggle with, really. My process is usually to try writing a bit of it, and if I hate it it’s probably not viable.
45: Harder or Easier While Stressed It’s usually a harder to write when I’m stressed, and what I do manage to write doesn’t have as much quality.
46: Sort Protagonists !!! There are too many!! these are just the Big Ones (so far) in witch noir Gryffindor - toots, eddie, maddie, anca, seth Hufflepuff - lily, charisma, s.j., angel, iris Ravenclaw - fred, ariel, dido, father piero Slytherin - evelyn, jessica, sloan, clara-claudia, aixa
47: Five Year Goal Hopefully I will have fucking finished something. Maybe published? Or maybe getting my manuscript looked at. (I have a humble-ish time frame, I think. Writing is a lot of work, and five years is a lot less time than it sounds like.)
48: Co-Writing I’m a huge control freak, so probably not. At least not with original characters. Maybe for fic tho, because that can be much lower stakes lmao.
49: Fast or Slow When I’m in The Zone I speed thru, but it can take me a while to get started and I come up on blocks pretty often so I’m a slow finisher.
50: Worldbuilding or Characters Shit man, that’s a tough choice. I guess characters? I don’t know.
