Ermm...What the flip is a "Will Wood?"

Awhile ago I made a Will Wood LEGO set in the program Studio 2.0 based off his album "In Case I make it," and just never posted it anywhere. Contains a bunch of references to his songs, his albums, those tapeworms that he has, stuff he has worked on with other people, etc. Some of the character's are based off preexisting stuff while others is more original I guess. Still not the best with captions cuz I got nothing else lmao

More photos below!!!

Some dark lighting here. This is how it's supposed to look but when I showed this to my friend they said the images were too dark and like fair it is pretty dark so I made a bunch of more renders but with brighter lighting so you can see better

Ahh! so bright!! so so bright!!!

I'd probably make some changes to this like changing the designs of some of the figures and maybe add other designs but I don't got it in me to rerender everything so oh well it is what it is lol

Can you guess the references? First person to name all of them wins a photo of a scary monster!!!! ahhhh!!!! so scary!!!!!!!!!

Okay here's the answers lol

I feel like i complained a lot in the caption of this post but I actually do love how this came out and I really enjoyed doing all the fancy posing for all the figures and I really want to do more stuff like that

(and I already did get ready I got more of this stuff lmao)

For a lot of the character's I had trouble finding good parts that actually matched with the design so some of them are just real wonky looking. Part of me sorta wishes I made an original design for SELF-ISH but at the same time I think just having the actual art from the cover being placed on top of a LEGO dude is really funny.

like look at this shit lmao

I'm probably going to make a followup to this post showing off like the 800 wip renders I did of this anyways follow for 800 reblogs of random ass shit and NOTHING ELSE

For the writer truth or dare: 🍄 (favourite ship headcanon), 🔪 (weirdest research topic) and 🪲 (add 50 words to your current WIP and share)? 💜

Cecil I adore you 💖💖💖 Let's get to it!

🍄 (favourite ship headcanon)

Ahhhh it's so hard to pick just one! I think probably my favorite one is the widely accepted headcanon that after Dream and Hob reunite in 2022, they meet frequently after that 🥰🥰 Whether that turns their relationship romantic or stays platonic, I'm always delighted to see it!

🔪 (weirdest research topic)

Oooooo that's a good one! It's probably the time I did research on snake penises for wrap me up nice and tight (love me all through the night)....I stared at A LOT of snake genitalia trying to nail down the physical description 😅😅😅

🪲 (add 50 words to your current WIP and share)

So I wrote a little more than 50 words, but! Have another snippet from my omegaverse forced marriage wip 🥰

“No, it’s not,” Robert insists. “I—look, the contract I took on, it wasn’t just about wanting to put distance between us. I thought—I thought you spent your last heat alone, or somehow, with someone else, and it—it bothered me more than it should have, so I made a rash decision,” he explains. “I really should have known better, considering you where in heat when we were married.” “Oh,” Dream replies, feeling suddenly shy and pleased. “Well, uhm, now you know the truth of the matter then,” he finishes, unsure of what else to say.  “I do, and I’m more glad for it,” Robert says earnestly. “I know it won’t be easy, but if you promise to be honest with me about what you need, I’ll do everything in my power to give it to you. For the baby. And well—for our friendship too.” Dream smiles. “Thank you, Robert. I’d like that.” The alpha wrinkles his nose. “I’ve never liked the name Robert," he says, "but I suppose I never gave you the opportunity to know that before today. All of my closest friends call me Hob.” “Hob?” Dream asks incredulously. “Why would you willingly name yourself after the stove?”

Snippet Someday

So I've been revisiting the earlier chapters of my fic and am stuck in a bout of editing paralysis where everything sounds blegh, but ahhhh so is life. I thought, what the heck— let me put a positive spin on all these writing woes and make a game out of it. Plus I've been meeting a lot of new writers this summer, and I figured this would be a fun way to get to know your stories and characters as I make my way through my bookmark list. Take this chance to showcase your fic. We've all been working hard. Let's be proud of how far we've come :)

Tagging: @atypicalacademic @skyrim-forever @justafoxhound @elavoria @gilgamish @thana-topsy @thequeenofthewinter @paraparadigm @chennnington @expended-sleeper @snowberry-crostata @sylvienerevarine @dumpsterhipster @nuwanders @daedrabait @wispstalk @rainpebble3 @nine-blessed-hero @mareenavee @miraakulous-cloud-district @ladytanithia Sorry for blowing up your notifications. If you're not tagged, please feel free to jump in and tag me if you see this and want to join! I'm not always sure who is writing fic and who isn't. No pressure as always :D

Rules: Revisit an old fic (or earlier chapters of your current WIP) and share a snip from:

Your first chapter

Your favorite chapter

Your most challenging chapter

Alternatively, if you don't write longfic, feel free to share your one-shots. Provide as much or as little commentary as you want.

From The Illusionist: Passion, Purpose, and Penance:

First Chapter: Skirting The Black Road (commence the moral decayyy 😈)

Admittedly disappointed by this virtuous facade, he saw the crack, only needed to slip his blade into it and twist. This, he could work with, for she was a murderer in the eyes of the Night Mother whether she accepted it or not, and he had no doubt that if pressed, she too would heed Sithis' call. They all did. New murderers were pliant, he found, like old snags of dead wood. One gentle push and the roots released their grip.

Favorite Chapter: 61— Us and Them (self indulgent disaster-ship is self indulgent 🤷‍♀️)

And when he looked at her, he felt dissolved, knew not where the salt of her tears became the salt of his blood, and if he could strip her from her skin just to drink the liquid dark behind her eyes, he would.

Most Challenging Chapter: 67 — A Small Death (Newly mantled Sheogorath is not a headspace I know how to work with 😅)

“Again, Nimileth?”

There was disapproval in his voice, faint, but not faint enough to suggest he'd been trying to hide it. Nim fought back the urge to growl.

“I had a bit too much to drink, that’s all,” she mumbled. Too much last night and the night before. Too much. Too much again.

“Don’t you think you should know your limits by now?”

'Don’t you think you should know your limits by now,’ she wished to spit back at him, make herself an even greater pest if only to feel more like the lowly, burrowing insect she had become. Or better yet, something limbless, blind. A worm. But Nim didn't have the strength to finish. She didn’t even have the strength to start.

Instead, she bunched the sheets in her fists and yanked them over her head so that she lay completely covered. What am I doing, she thought. The throbbing waves of her headache crested and crashed, grinding her skull down to coarse, ivory sands. What am I doing?

Lucien didn’t linger after that. He flung open the curtains, and when he left, the sun crept across her back. Shielded as she was beneath her sheets and behind her eyelids, she could still feel its glaring, angry flare.

“I see you, Nimileth,” it said, stretching its fingers across the room. Pointing, taunting fingers that seared and scraped at the raw wounds of last night's sins. “I see you. I will set and I will rise and I will see you again tomorrow. I will see you then. I will see you again.”

[startanewdream]

For the wip game: dad (yes this is me hoping for more james and harry father son moments because i love love loveeee how u write their relationship)

AHHHH. I don't have any James/Harry moment exactly but this reminded me of a ficlet I never posted online so there you go, Anon, a whole fic featuring Sirius, Dad!James and Toddler!Harry:

***

Daddy

He is sure he heard it wrong, or else he's been pranked. But James looks deadly calm, with barely a trace of embarrassment and Sirius has known him for what feels like forever; he supposedly knows when James is in prank mode and this doesn't look like one of these times.

"Just to be clear," he begins slowly, trying to imagine any other word that James might have said instead of what Sirius is sure he heard the first time."You want me to call you…"

But he can't say it. It feels so wrong.

James just blinks, waiting patiently.

Sirius coughs, searching for another way of saying it. "So I can't call you James anymore."

"Of course you can." James rolls his eyes. "And Prongs, sure. Just not when Harry's around."

"Because he is in that copying stage."

"Yeah." James runs his hand through his hair. "It's no big deal, really. Lily says it will be over soon, he will learn the right way to call us. We just need to stick in a little longer."

"You mean I just need to…" Again, Sirius can't say it. "Have you asked the same for Moony?"

"Well, no, he's been less around than you… but I will." James sighs. "Look, if it helps, even Lily has called me like that."

"I heard it before, but I just thought it was a weird thing going on between you two! Didn't take you for the who is your daddy kind of relationship but –"

"Oh, shut up." James' ears are red now. "My sex life with Lily is none of your business–" Sirius stares at him, which prompts James to add: "Ever since we learned to use Locking Charms, okay."

"And improved your Silence Charms," Sirius adds annoyedly. "You know I never called my own father Daddy, right?"

"And you want me to raise my son to address me as 'Father'?" James asks, a challenge in his voice.

"No," Sirius agrees. He would rather James' relationship with Harry be nothing like his own with Orion Black. "Fine. But as soon as this stupid stage is over, I'm back to calling you James when you annoy me and Prongs if I want to ask for something."

James laughs. "That's fair."

"And we are never going to mention this."

"Okay. I would rather forget too." But James is grinning. "Unless you want to keep calling me Daddy, I'm very good parental material, I've been told."

"Ah, go f–"

"No, no. No cursing either–Harry is copying everything he hears, remember?"

"Ugh. How come you are the one with a kid and I'm the one under parental guidance?"

"That's what you signed up for when you accepted being a godfather." James' eyes lit up. "Oh, I can refer to you as the Godfather if you want Harry to call you like that."

"No way."

"Uncle Sirius?"

"Stop it."

"Siri? Sissi?"

"Oh, shut up, Daddy."

---

Harry is finishing to place all blocks in order, creating a weird and still stable tower with his toys, when Lily shows up in his room.

"Harry," she calls. "Bath time." Harry sighs dramatically. "Go on, your father is waiting for you."

Sirius raises, helping Harry stand up too. He glances at Lily.

"No more Daddy?" He teases.

She blinks at him. "What?"

"You and…" Sirius steals a look at Harry, but his godson seems distracted. "Your husband. Calling each other by those pet names."

"I don't know—"

A sudden understanding hits Sirius. "He… he said I needed to call him 'Daddy' for Harry's sake!"

"Oh, and did you?" Lily sounds too amused now. "Harry is moving past this. Harry… who's James?"

"Daddy!"

"And who is Mummy's husband?"

"Daddy!"

"I think I might kill your husband, Mummy." 

She snorts. "Please don't. You should know better than to fall for his pranks."

A booming laugh coming from the adjacent bathroom tells him that Lily is right.

James' face is alight with all the mischief he managed to hide from Sirius all week along.

"Hi, sonny," he says teasingly, and though he is taking Harry into his arms to help him out of his clothes, James is winking at Sirius.

"Hi, Daddy. Ugh, I am never going to fall for your antics again–"

"Watch it, or you will get no dessert for dinner, Pads."

"Watch it, or I will tell you to go fuck yourself."

"Fuck!" Harry cries suddenly, delighted. "Go fuck!"

James groans. "I told you he was in the copying phase!"

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hello, Steph! :) I hope you are doing well! I know you sometimes have a tough time but I hope things are looking up! Spring is coming, so at least I hope the weather is better and there's some more daylight. :)

I wondered if you have any stories where Sherlock is a (professional) violinist. Maybe this has been asked before, I think I remember something of this kind but I can't find it again. I hope you don't mind. :)

Thank you so much! Your recs are brilliant, I have found so many gems by looking through your lists! :) It must be so much work, I and we all really appreciate it!

Have some virtual tulips, and best wishes from Holland! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Hey Nonny!

AHHHH!!! Thank you for the tulips and checking up on me! You made my day!! Doing a bit better, just looking forward to summer so I can spend more time outside, heh. I really need to take a break from here for a bit soon, I think.

Ah, I think I have been asked in the past but let's go through my lists anyway! First off, you can check out my two Violin lists:

Sherlock’s Violin

Sherlock’s Violin Pt 2

And here are fics on my MFL list tagged with Sherlock being a violinist:

While the Music Lasts by gunandviolin (E, 44,645+ w., 6/? Ch. || WiP || Orchestra AU || Slow Burn, Jealous John, Angst with Happy Ending, Classical Music, Sexual Tension) – John Watson, a weary veteran of the professional orchestra circuit, settles into his new position as principal clarinetist for the London Symphony, hoping that he's left his worries behind in the States. However, his sudden acquaintance with the brilliant solo violinist Sherlock Holmes and the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of his predecessor prove that John's troubles are far from over.

Sehnenfäden by holmesian_love and Strange_johnlock (M, 67,879 w., 22 Ch. || Violinist Sherlock AU || Idiots in Love, Alternate First Meeting, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Humour, Friendship, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, First Time, Nature, Music, Seclusion, Angst with Happy Ending, Non-Explicit Sex) – William Sherlock Holmes is a world-renowned violinist, uncompromising with his principles and his punishing schedule, pushed to breaking point by his manager.John Watson is a lost, retired army-doctor, returned to London with nowhere to live. Both men end up in situations which lead them to a secluded German village in the mountains, escaping from the unforgiving world around them. A chance encounter brings them together, sharing a friendship and understanding neither of them have found before. Will they be able to find a way to express their true feelings for one another, to find the path to be together, despite Sherlock’s chaotic lifestyle?

-----

There was also a fic called "Queen's Philharmonic" by holmsianscholar that was removed, so if anyone has that as a PDF or ebook, please let us know. Webarchive didn't save it because I believe it was a locked fic, so sadly my link I have is useless :(

If anyone has any other "professional violinist Sherlock" fics to add, because I need more of this AU, PLEASE do!! <3

first post here 🤪

jongerry wip

i’ll probably post on ao3 once i’ve got more written.

There’s something wrong.

They can tell as soon as they wake up.

The blanket over them is too thick, thicker than any that they own and musty with disuse. They open their eyes slowly, taking stock of their surroundings. There is a coffee table in front of them. (Are they on a couch?) The table is clean, except for several stains, tea maybe? Or coffee? Their eyes flick up and they jump back, shoving into the back of the couch.

“AHhhh” Whoever is in front of them also jumps back a bit, tripping on the coffee table, and stumbling to catch his balance. “Ah, um, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I-I’m Jon.”

“Right, and where am I?”

“Uh, the breakroom? The Archives breakroom? In the Magnus Institute, that is. I, uh, I was leaving for the day, and I saw you in here?” Right- Gerry remembers, now. Gertrude had them hunting down a Leitner. Except it hadn’t just been a Leitner, whoever came across it had it for too long, and had fully Become by then. It was so far gone that it’d begun growing patchy fur, and its ears were sharp. Gerry’d spent hours running through London, weaving through alleyways until they'd finally gotten a jump on it. Gertrude demanded an update, and as soon as they finished, they crashed on the break room couch.

“And who are you?”

“Right, Gerard, they/them for now. I… freelance, for Gertrude.” Gerry popped their neck, and watched Jon. Instead of the usual confusion that they’d come to expect from the stuffy academic types that seemed drawn to the Magnus Institute, Jon just nodded and stuck out his hand.

“Jonathan Sims, he/they. Just call me Jon, though.” Gerry smirked in amusement.

“Well Jon, nice to meet you, but I doubt I’ll be seeing you with enough frequency to call you anything.” Jon sputters a bit, and grows red in the face (In a way that is totally not cute, shut up brain) and occurs to Gerry that maybe that was a bit rude. “Sorry, I didn’t mean anything by that. I just don't tend to stick around the Institute longer than I have to.”

Jon just raises an eyebrow and looks at Gerry's current tangled-in-a-blanket state. Now it’s Gerry’s turn to blush.

“Well, usually. In my defense, it’s been a long bloody day, and I needed to crash.” Jon looks curious at that, but decides not to ask. A wise decision- Jon would get no answers from them. “Anyway, I better be off.”

Gerry gets up and pulls on their jacket, but pauses when they see the clock.

“Wait, why are you just leaving? It’s like 7:00? And what are you doing in the archives? Nobody ever really comes down here.”

“You’re down here.” Ah so Jon’s a prickly one. Gerry just gives him a Look, and Jon blushes again.

“Mr. Bouchard told me that I’m transferring to the Archives tomorrow, as an assistant. And that was at 5:00, and then I tried to finish up my work so no one in research would be stuck with what I didn’t get done. Then I was about to leave and realized I should probably go meet my new boss… So then I came down here and Gertrude just glared at me a bit before stomping off upstairs. I waited around for a bit, because I thought it might be rude if she came back down like only a few minutes later and I was already gone? But it doesn’t seem like she’s coming back anytime soon. And then I, ah saw you in here? And I didn’t think anybody else was down here, um, ever? So I just came in to look, and now we’re… here?”

Okay, so the rambling is a bit cute, and Gerry has half a mind to be amused, but there are more pressing concerns.

“Sorry, did you just say you’re going to be an archival assistant?”

“Um, yes?”

“Have you signed any papers yet?” Gerry’s properly concerned now, and Jon seems to be getting agitated.

“Yes? I signed the transfer papers?”

“Damn, Gertrude’s not going to be happy with that.”

“Excuse you, what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Oh Gertrude has been absolutely refusing to get new assistants for years. I would have thought Elias would have wanted to avoid pissing her off. No wonder she hasn’t been back yet. She’s probably ripping him a new one” Jon visibly bristles.

“Well excuse me, but I hardly see how having an assistant would be a bad thing. I mean, if the state of this place is anything to go by, then she certainly needs one.”

“Oh try telling her that. Or don’t,” Gerry gives a cynical snort, “she’s going to be right pissed no matter what anyone says.”

“Whatever,” Jon scoffs, “Too late now. She’ll either have to deal with me or take it up with Mr. Bouchard.”

“Oh I imagine she is.”

It isn’t until Jon is storming away, and stomping up the stairs that Gerry realizes that they were probably being rude.

“Well Shit”

LOQUACIOUS IS SUCH A GOOD WORD I WANNA SEE THAT ONE PLSSSS

AHHHH YEAH!!

so loquacious is an exploratory piece that i wrote in the hell year (2020) when i was just beginning to think i should shift vdtrt into what it is now. it wasn’t even CLOSE to where it is today BUT i was definitely thinking about softening gabe up—gabe actually used to be much angrier and gruffer in earlier versions of his character but after awhile it just didn’t feel right. so this piece is from his perspective and it’s talking about how darren is, well, loquacious (or very talkative lol) but with a caveat: he only seems talkative around him.

in some ways this is still somewhat canon. darren is a person who prefers to kickback and let others lead social interactions but around people he’s close with (like olice and like, now, gabe) he tends to talk a Lot because he feels comfortable to. actually in a lot of ways darren mirrors Me personally because i’m p chill but if i know you well i will absolutely talk your ear off, my partner can attest to this.

i never finished it tho, but i can show you what i wrote! so without further ado (also don’t mind some of the more specific details; some info is Wrong or has been retconned)

It always struck Gabe— how absolutely, incessantly, unmitigatedly talkative Darren was. Or at least, how talkative he was with him. Gabe was never much someone for breaking the silence unless he absolutely had to, but there was something about his boyfriend that loosened his tongue and eased off his usually closed shell.

When they lay together, limbs curled around one another like two overgrown cats and Gabe looked into his dark eyes and wound his fingers through his coarse hair; it occurred to him often that he’d just tune out whatever nonsense Darren was saying. About the weather, about the time, the timing of the weather and the reason for it; about the class that they shared that they both hated, or the classes they didn’t and he was curious about. He could seemingly ramble on and on about nothing, and Gabe would let him, interjecting in his chatter to murmur his opinion or hum in understanding every now and again. He wasn’t a bad boyfriend— sometimes he tuned the bloodsucker out but he was always listening.

The only reason it occurred to him at all that Darren was so talkative, was that, unless they were alone, he was oddly quiet. Rather than not having anything to say, he just took the back seat and listened.

Granted, the two of them did have very outspoken friends. Their respective best friends in particular (Michaelis for him and Marco for Darren) were two of the most opinionated, talkative people that Gabe knew— and he knew his father. Still, instead of joining in on their chatter, Darren was content to ‘kick his feet back’ and ‘enjoy the view.’

He listened when others talked and listened well, and it wasn’t as though their friends didn’t encourage him to talk— the opposite— they always hounded him to speak up more but he’d laugh it off and say “Well you all already know what I’m going to say!”

They didn’t. Not by a long shot.

Because Darren talked about everything and nothing. About small details people wouldn’t expect he’d notice, about deep philosophies that Gabe wasn’t even aware that he’d known. About inconsequential things about why does pasta taste like that (with his nose wrinkling) […]

##

the end tapers off into an unfinished sentence unfortunately lol. but the main bit of retconned info is michaelis existing bc he doesn’t anymore he kinda got absorbed into estel lol. also the classes bit bc it’s more focused on the roadtrip than the school like the old wip used to be. but i do still like this piece! it’s more recent so the style is much better than my older works LOL

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @scary-monsters <3 ty ily

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 6! One for The Witcher and 5 for JJBA.

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 6,498 <3 So few!!! For now <3

3. What fandoms do you write for? JJBA, One Piece and maybe a few others in future. Buuut mostly those two right now. Even if the OP shit is unreleased. And Resident Evil!!! Hopefully soon.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Well this is sorta easy with only 6 works in total. BUT. His Sweet Kiss (Geraskier fluff), Letters from a lover (compilation of short letters from characters), If I could be with you tonight (Gyro angst), Ties that Bind (Dio fic...... that I uhhh,,, haven't continued. Whoops) and Phantom Pains / Fleurs Captives (Diabeth angst) !!!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! I do try to! I don't get them very often, mostly because I'm only recently getting back onto writing platforms. But I do try to. I like people who enjoy my works to know the support is appreciated.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Definitely Phantom Pains. Out-of-the-blue Diabeth angst ending in grief and regret... I do love writing angst and I don't shy away from sad endings either! Although I do love a good happy end too <3

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Speaking of.... His Sweet Kiss is definitely the happiest one, at least so far. My lost-to-time fics from the Wattpad era weren't exactly happy, so I think a fluffy mess like HSK is the best right now.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not yet. Yet. It'll happen eventually I'm sure.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! I have yet to publish any of it, though. Mostly because I am incredibly picky when it comes to smut, and by extension incredibly finicky with my own smutty works. As for what kind? Ah... a mix.

10. Do you write crossovers? I don't. I don't even think I'd necessarily consider it for anything other than a crackfic.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I have not! But I have had people copy my writing suspiciously closely.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I have not, but I would be honoured if someone offered to, and I hope that at some point I'm fluent enough in another language to do so myself.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have not. I'm semi-open to the idea of it, but also... kind of sounds stressful.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? Ahhhh..... Geraskier held my heart for a very long time. I'm also a YenRalt truther, though. I struggle a little to compute ships nowadays but I think Dinopants is really fun. and Satosugu.

15. What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? Oh god, the Dio fic I started and then never continued. It was meant to be a look into Diabeth over the years but I changed a lot of things since I started it, so I may have to scrap the whole thing and restart.

16. What are your writing strengths? Description. I love describing things and spaces and people more than anything and I think that love has lead to a lot of practice. I can be a little flowery at times but I don't particularly mind it. It's not for everyone, though.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Dialogue. I never know how much to have people say or not say. It's something I need to practice. On the flipside, sometimes I have characters say too much and then I completely neglect action. I just need to get better with it all-round.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I do it! And I respect other writers who have the balls to do it (and potentially cock it up). I tend to check, and double/triple check it.

19. First fandom you wrote for? If I'm being honest it was probably Skullduggery Pleasant, back before I even knew Fanfiction was a thing. And I read it out in front of my class at the time. I think I was about 10.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Honestly? Every since I wrote Phantom Pains it's been my pride and joy. I really love my use of description and imagery and tone in that one specifically. I just really love it.

I don't have anyone to tag.... that Kat didn't already tag. So take this as a free ticket to join in should you wish to <3

#honey bats extended universe #not writing #I love tag gamesss AAAA #ty Kat for tagging me I love being included I hope u have fun w my answers ily

💫🎀💌🌈 for the fic writer's asks if you'd like!!!

Hello lovely! Thank you so much for asking!

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

Honestly, I love every kind of comment I get, they always make me so happy. I think the ones I love the most are the long ones, though. The ones where people cite different lines or tell me that something I wrote hit them in some way.

🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing

AHHHH I'm slowly getting better at this haha! Ok a compliment is that it really shows how much time I take into developing a plot and how the characters fit into it.

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

This one isn't really up-and-coming since it'll take me a while to write, but since nobody asked about it in the WIP game then let me talk about the Figure Skating AU! I am super excited about it because I've done a ton of research, and I found this one partner routine I'm going to have Andreil do and it is PERFECT, especially with the way the plot is going to develop. If you're interested in seeing it, take a look here!

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

Hmm this is actually more difficult to answer than I thought it would be, but I think I'm going to have to go with Five Times Neil Thought Andrew Was Pretty and One Time He Said it Out Loud. For anyone who doesn't know, this was one of the first requests I got and it was from @fortheloveofexy and I had fangirled so hard when I saw that because I'd been lowkey stalking their account ever since they started posting aftg art and I completely freaked. And now Crow is one of my besties :) which will always be so cool to me hehe. I just really wanted to make something good and also good enough to impress them, and they ended up making some art for what I wrote so uh I hope I managed to >~<

Celine! I love your writing <3 I hope you didn't answer these yet:

⛔🦅🤲

Ahhhh thank you so much, lovely! 🥰 I've only answered 🦅 already, so here are the other two:

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped? Not in this fandom, no! (or not yet at least)

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

Just like yesterday Lando’s body betrayed him when he couldn’t control the whine that came out of his throat. 

‘Are you kidding me?’ He squeeked out this time, it seemed better than saying sorry and his brain was too occupied to think of anything else.

Max had known he was coming so he should be the one apologizing anyway. 

Charles let out a surprised yelp, which made Lando feel better because that meant he had not known he had been standing here, watching for a few seconds before letting them know he was here. 

Max let go of Charles’s dick with a loud and wet ‘plop’ sound, making both Lando and Charles groan. Charles probably at the loss of his mouth, Lando at the way it looked. It had no right to look this hot. 

Max his mouth was red, there was drool on his chin or maybe it was Charles’ pre-cum and his hair was a mess. 

‘Oh, hey Lando,’ Max said, voice husky as he licked his lips.

え？

i like to keep this blog strictly art but some general talk. for fun 💜

life has been reaaally good with the wifey... the past year has felt really fun, we’re feeling so peak synchronous creatively. and we also moved into a better living situation, and we’re going to get nicer desk set ups soon...!! i’m looking forward to getting to decorate it all up. and maybe it’ll encourage me to be a little more ambitious... maybe this year is the year i actually fiddle with animation e_o oooh....  i’ve got my plate a little full with trying to self-teach JP and having an. attention problem 💔 でも。。。 anything is possible!?

i mean i’m writing more lately, anddd, i feel like my speed/completion rate is improving. i used to be wayy too shy to post anything at all, and now i’m really excited to post stuff... i’m trying really hard to get stuff ready to go... i want people to read my fic...!!!!!!!!! OTL what a new fun feeling

i’ve always felt like writing is a big part of my creative expression, but that’s it’s really insular and private. it’d be neat if i could squeeze umm... 2% more of myself actually into the world ww. though of course the brutal thing about writing is it kind of feels like it lets there be no ahhh partition, between strangers and my psyche.... I’m just like :’3 well, undeniably you’re going to learn how i structure the world in my mind...

hm wat else.......... looking forward to splatoon 3. might try and build a PC rig. duhh...... [smiles emptily...] i think that’s it...

... it’s funny, lately i’m so carefree, my problems feel incredibly shallow lol. but in an amusing way. i mean i’ve been a pretty miserable person for years prior (i think... you can tell... and, this blog even documents it somewhat)... so i’m being tongue-in-cheek as i say this but really i feel kind of placid and without complexity. lalala. ohh what will i haff for breakfast today... it’s delightfully simple in contrast to the past.

as a result i feel like i’m really observing my raw, illness. ? how to say. like just my brain firing things off on a purely chemical level. it’s fascinating. [watches my mood disorder very clinically] hm so this is how it all works... [sips drink] i think my art is comically like riddled with despair but it’s almost appropriately proportionate to my melodrama. AHHHH OHH THE AGONY!!!!!!!! [my wife hands me another ice cream and tucks me into bed] w.

....... [rummages around my drawers] oh! enjoy this WIP of boys RPing as dinosaurs. tsukasa is being a velociraptor, amane a triceratops. they flip pred/prey roles, though tsukasa stays a raptor, amane just becomes something larger, like a t-rex

What's your favorite thing about writing?

ahhhh hello!! thanks for the ask this was super thoughtful :]

okay i'll already go ahead and break the rules and say two things: one that relates to me writing for myself and one that relates to me writing for others

for me personally, i really enjoy writing because i never really know what's gonna come out of a story. everything i've written usually ends up taking a turn that i never anticipated no matter how much i have it planned out. it's also interesting to watch how the characters end up taking over a story; i'll start writing a scene with a distinct end goal in mind and end up with something completely different that ended up feeling more natural for the characters as i wrote the scene.

it's also interesting to see what parts of myself come out in the stories that i write; like, not to get too sappy, but there's always a little piece of my own soul in everything i write, but my own personal feelings and experiences end up coming out in some stories more than others. for example, my current wip (a flower that resembles you) was significantly affected by some of my own mental/emotional struggles that i've dealt with this year. i genuinely don't think it'd be the same story if it weren't for those struggles, and at the time that i wrote most of it, i really couldn't articulate those struggles to myself and didn't really understand what was going on with me. idk if that makes sense, but it's been fascinating to look back on now that i'm feeling much better just to see how much of my own pain i was essentially wringing out into this story that originally started off as a weird little idea i had the night before my grandpa's funeral a couple of months ago

i've also learned this year i really like sharing stories, thanks to posting on ao3. i'm a very shy and anxious person, so i've rarely shown anything i've created to others for most of my life (apart from, like, my best friend). but through writing and posting fics this year, i've learned that i really enjoy when i write something and someone comments and says it made them laugh or kick their feet or cry or what have you. i know how it feels to be touched by someone else's creations like that, so to know that something i've made has done that for others really makes me want to keep creating stuff. like, yes, it's fun to make things for yourself, but the communal/sharing aspect of art just makes it so much more fun, especially when you're not trying to put on airs and are just making things for the hell of it

i know i broke the rules and did a couple of things, but i hope you can forgive me anon!! this was such a lovely ask to answer, so thanks for stopping by :] 💜💜💜

26, 27, 30... GOD WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GOOD QUESTIONS.

Also I'ma do 15. My favorite fic of yours is that Tam Lin Widomauk fic which lives rent-free in my head all the time.

15. Tell the author your favorite fic of theirs. What’s your (the author’s) favorite fic you’ve written?

it’s a toss-up between we keep living anyway (Hamilton/Daredevil crossover AU) and there’s a ghost in my lungs (WS!Mollymauk AU). sadly both of them are incomplete, but one day I mean to finish them! they still have docs in my gdocs and I really like what I was going for with both of them. they’re also leaning on different favorite tropes of mine—HamDevil AU is an out-and-out crossover of two unlikely IPs and WS!Molly uses my all-time favorite movie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) as a template. I have a deep and utter fondness for unlikely crossovers bc it makes combining the worlds into one a fun little exercise in making two disparate sources make sense, and Winter Soldier AUs combine amnesia and brainwashing and hurt/comfort into a fun neat little package.

(although I will say it’s a lot easier to come up with weird crossovers than Winter Soldier AUs especially for particular fandoms. a WS AU wouldn’t work in Ted Lasso or Our Flag Means Death, not for me as a writer, but it works in Critical Role bc there’s a faction we KNOW would not think twice about doing horrible morally bankrupt things to people’s memories.)

26. What’s your biggest distraction when writing?

video games and books. I read a LOT of books, and I’ve recently gotten really into video games—it makes the little serotonin machine in my brain go VROOM to hit things really really hard they fall down and stop moving in a video game. same with finishing a book before I have to return it to the library. ahhhh.

(but I do highly recommend reading, like, as a writer, and even outside of your preferred genres and comfort zones! note that I’m not saying you have to read like, genres or authors you absolutely despise—I hate Nicholas Sparks and I think JK Rowling can fuck herself—you just need to read stuff that isn’t something you would usually read. if you’re a romance writer/reader, it might be swell to read, say, a legal thriller. and you should def try reading outside of more well-known authors too!

as for video games, shit, go ahead and cheat whenever. I have infinite health on for Resident Evil and infinite oxygen for Shadow of the Tomb Raider and these have been absolute godsends for enabling, like, stress-free gaming.)

27. Do you like to give your readers some warning of what might be coming or just slap them in the face with content at random?

I absolutely just shoot them in the face with it like I’m launching the fic from a T-shirt cannon. part of this is bc I’m honestly never sure what’ll be coming next out of my brain—it tends to latch on to somewhat unexpected ideas and fandoms and doesn’t like to let go.

30. Post a snippet from your current WIP without context - no more than 300 words.

Call it what it is: a hallucination, brought on by the sudden lack of maintenance, the scattershot memory, the closeness to a life that Leon doesn’t remember anymore. That being said, ghost just sounds better, fits better, because the voice that pulls Leon away from a routine background check he’s running on a new neighbor belongs to a dead man: Agent Leon Kennedy.

“Nice face you got there,” the agent comments, and Leon chokes on his response. He’s young, god, maybe twenty-five, and his eyes are a purely grey-blue, no trace of red in them. His hair is much shorter, cut in a curtain cut that makes Leon think of this heroic-looking knight on the cover of one of the fantasy novels he’s working through, courtesy of Chris. In his hand is a knife, and he throws it up and down with almost contemptuous ease. “Too bad you stole it.”

Leon closes his eyes. He’s hallucinating. He’s hallucinating, that’s all. He has brain damage from years of getting electric shocks directly to the head and god knows what else they’ve done to him, this is all just a hallucination, a dream.

“Maybe,” says the ghost, and Leon’s eyes fly open to see the agent standing now over him, looking down. It’s a familiar position and a familiar look, this, and Leon reflexively looks away, his gut tying itself into an anxious knot. “That doesn’t mean it’s not true.”

[gilears]

for you my darling jamie: 3, 9, 19, 21, 22 (👀), 28, 29, and 33!! <3

THANK U MY DARLING SAV!!!!!!

3. How would you describe your writing style?

all over the place tbh!!!!!! i feel like i can very much be a writing style chameleon based on what the vibe of a piece needs, but i def gravitate to either silly goofy writing with lots of unnecessary asides (like lola fic or my reddie fake married disaster fic) OR like. insane ominous overly verbose dread hours (like o&t<3)

9. Thoughts on cliffhangers.

harrowing!!!!! what if the author never updates again???? i dont ever post chapter fics until ive finished or almost finished the entire thing for this reason, i dont want anyone to hurt the way ive been hurt

19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.

“Ah, it’s rather smoky—Kristen, did you make cheese crackers? Is that why you—” He cuts himself off, looking genuinely touched at the idea that Kristen would go out of her way to make him his favourite snack, just the way he likes it (burnt).

She’s not sure how she feels about crushing the hopes of a man who’s had his hopes crushed so many times before, so she decides to just rip off the bandaid. “No, your kitchen’s on fire.”

Gilear’s eyes widen, and he takes one more step out of the hallway to where he can see the kitchen, the yells, “Ahhhh! My kitchen is on fire!”

“Great listening skills,” Riz mutters under his breath.

21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what’s your secret?

yeah for the most part i can! ive been writing fic for 8 years now (omg) so ive kinda just developed a sense for how long a particular idea will take me. i think it helps a lot that im a pretty heavy outliner, and i typically dont start writing something unless ive got most of the plot figured out

but whenever im wrong about a wc its always that i end up being way over. i have cant shut up disease and its terminal

22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

djkglhbsdlj;ghsdfg woowwww i wonder what ship that eyes emoji is for sav!!!! tbh idk if i have a solid answer for this question! sometimes a dynamic just Grips you and youre like holy shit i have to read and think about these people interacting for the next 5-10 business days straight. when i figure it out ill let you know

28. Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?

yes! i think you should write whatever makes you happy to write because that will make you love writing more, which will make you write more, which will make you be a better writer. early 2021 i decided i wanted to write more stupid goofy shit and i had SUCH a blast writing it it made me wanna write more stupid goofy shit and i had so much fun writing stupid goofy shit i stopped caring about what would get the most hits/kudos/attention/whatever

also i think the secret to not giving a shit is having friends that are also writers. all my closest friends in fandom have been writers and when u can have people to go to who will Get and celebrate your work no matter what? game changer!!!!! opens up a whole world of possibilities like, "hey, what if i wrote this niche rarepair fic with my friend but its in second person and also the ship only has like 2 fics in their tag and also what if we wrote it in one night?" and then u have SO much doing it and dont even bother to check stats bc u already feel so fulfilled for having created it!!!! and also u and ur friend are so much closer now for it!!!

tldr put on some fun music, do a little dance, tell urself "who give a shit" and write whatever the fuck makes u happy

29. What’s the hardest thing about writing?

writing 💔

33. Give your writing a compliment.

aw this one is cute. mmmm i think im pretty good at capturing specific character voices/cadences/vocabulary in dialogue!!! 🥰

send a number for fic writer asks!

[daisynik7]

PLEASE BY ALL MEANS PROPOSE, I AM SO READY 👰🏻‍♀️ *ahem* i mean *cooly leans against the wall with a rose between my teef* hey cutie ;)

wait no, i can’t i’m a poser:( it’s pathetic. i’m kicking my feet, blushing so much rn, the dumbest giggles, this is crazy 🥲 thank you for YOUR kind words, having your support means the world to me and i hope you to be the same for you <3

but it truly is so beautiful, i’ve recently started to love seeing peoples different mediums of expression, whether it’s fanart, series/ film edits, and pics of course!!! i hope that this is something that continues to garner joy for you as a hobby, i surely love it, and i’m glad others love it. you articulate that creativity beautifully and i hope looking back at this page, you’re proud of what you made. 🥹 anime is relatively new for me too, and i feel like i’ve learnt more and appreciated the characters though fics than i do from watching the actual show @gege you are no longer the artist for jujutsu kaisen after what you’ve done, enjoy retirement bb 🥰 

and yes PLEASE let me talk about strawberry soju for a sec, first of all you said you based this off a song, i’m only finding results for one song by jesse barrera. A VIBE, we love that. second off, i just need to get it off my chest, i love foodie sasha! third, personally i know you for nanami wips n fics, but what you write for other characters, ART🤌🏼fourth, anything you write i will eat up. shamelessly. just know that :) also yes, kbbq was a special occasion meal for us so yes i get giddy over any reference of korean cuisine!

lastly, i’m so happy to hear that you were able to get out of the house and spend time with those core people, i’d like to take this moment to invite them to our wedding 🫶🏼

i’m not ready for the finale, i’m still not over the fact that they glazed over bertholdt’s death and reiner’s (lack of) reaction, like what? i’m also still considering do i need to continue jjk? probably not, i was just joking about actually being a masochist.🫣 

nonetheless; love you my sweet daisy, have a wonderful day/night! 🤍

don't worry, I'm already planning our wedding, honeymoon, and early retirement ;) we're going to be so happy together!! 😭♥️

I will be your biggest cheerleader, I promise you! I love seeing how people express themselves through art. I've always been an avid consumer of fan works (fanart, fan fiction, etc.). I agree that these fics have expanded on the characters much much more than what we're actually given LOL. As much as I appreciate the universe gege has created, these fics feed into my obsession even more and I'll always be grateful to every single writer/artist out there that is contributing to this fandom (and all fandoms in general).

hearing your thoughts on strawberry soju makes me so so happy!! thank you again for reading it ♥️ foodie Sasha is canon, I always imagine here with a hot potato in her pocket for snacking LOL. I have written a lot of Nanami content, but Eren also holds a special place in my heart.

also, we're going to have such bomb ass food at our wedding - filipino and korean cuisine, can it get any better than this?!

ahhhh okay I won't say anything to not spoil you, but I definitely have lots and lots of thoughts about it. can't wait to hear what you think. AND I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS (regarding continuing jjk). Not sure why I'm putting myself through this pain and misery anymore! it's too much!! but the story and characters are so captivating, idk if I can really drop it completely. we shall see...

I LOVE YOU THEA!! hope you're having a great start to your week so far! 💗💗💗
