20 Questions More

This is a deeper and more detailed version of the 20 questions for AO3 fanfic writers. @nottawriter hit me with a tag, I have been attacked lol.

1) How do you keep getting ideas for your ship / fandom? A dash of shower thoughts, with a pinch of I watched a movie and couldn't help but think... Yes, that will work. They often feel like the come from nowhere.

2) Which authors inspire you in your fandom, and why are they so freakishly good? That's not fair how dare you ask me this!!!! Uhhh I'm mostly reading Supercorp stuff these days sooo... @jazzfordshire, @mycatismyeditor, @fazedlight, @innamorament0, @scribblingpunk, @fyonahmacnally to name a few. AAAAND my co-author and a vast array of things @tomatopudding! Why? Idk, I just get drawn a lot to these works and think they're lovely, and I love their depictions of these characters I love.... with @tomatopudding we just vibe very well, sharing the same five brain cells helps.

3) Aside from the characters of your main ship, who are the characters you love to write? If we're talking Supergirl... That's so hard, but I might have to say Brainy and Nia if really pressed... and Alex. I really enjoy Alex.

Otherwise, my other faves include all of the Les Amis from Les Miserables (if you know you know), specifically Courfeyrac and Marius and their hilarious dynamic. Other faves include Eliza Schuyler-Hamilton, Eponine Thenardier and... This could go on for a very long time, are you sure you have time?

4) Are there pairings or tropes you know for sure you’d never write about? Which ones? Not putting Kara and Lena together just makes me sad... So Supercorp ftw all the way, they are my top (I am a lot more amenable in other fandoms I've written for)

Tropes... I'm unlikely to do Omega-verse, I haven't done it and I can't see myself starting even if I sometimes read it.

5) What is your writing process and why is it cursed?

When I worked in retail I wrote on stupid little scraps and probably lost about 75% of them. Sometimes the method is hand writing, and then typing and making edits during that process as well. The handwritten can vary drastically from the typed draft lol.

I tend to fly by the seat of my pants unless someone is keeping me in line. I'm pretty darn chaotic.

I doubt myself a lot, so I always think whatever I write is garbage no matter how much proof there is that's not true. Also, sometimes I get burnt out, or my muse dies and then I feel terrible. Yay.

6) What is your favorite part of your writing process? Falling down rabbit holes, looking into fun topics. Likely ending up on a government watch list for the stuff I've searched up over the years

7) What’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to research for a fic? Uhhh.... hmm. I have no idea what the weirdest is lol. Cause it's on my mind, probably looking up what types of wood are easiest to chop, and why. (There is definitely weirder, but I don't remember right now).

8) Is there a particular writing rule you struggle with (grammar, spelling, tense, reality in general)? Commas. They hate me, and I hate them.

9) What was your hardest scene to write so far and why? Oof. Uhhh... This is so hard! Honestly there is a lot of stuff in my co-written very long series Hamilton Family Album that was *a lot* between research and feels.

Especially when you're co-author hits you with unexpected feels out of nowhere that you weren't anticipating (YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID).

10) Have your characters ever done something you didn’t expect, changing your plot completely? Of course, they have. It happens all the time.

11) If you could converse with any of the characters, who would it be and why? Ohhh... Hands down Kara and Lena, I wish they could be my friends and we could hang out. Why? I think that they are absolutely incredible, wonderful and I could just sing their praises for ever.

12) What are some of the tropes or themes that you find yourself returning to in your writing? Oooo, I'm a sucker for fluffy romances, and I've been dabbling in smut recently. Other themes for me can be like found family is a really popular one for me.

Since I've written both a lot of Les Mis and Hamilton stuff (among other similar things) I've done a lot of "Modern AU's" as well, which are uhhh varied to say the least. If I can treat anything they way the treat most Shakespeare pieces these days I do it.

13) What’s your most important resource as a writer? Asking for help! Soundboarding with other writers, I love doing it. It helps me make sense of my ideas... Or decide they're maybe too out there (almost never lol)

14) Can you share some of your strategies for editing and revising your work? Reading it out loud, I have a hard time noticing errors otherwise. Asking someone you trust to look it over as well, take your time and double and triple check if you're unsure about something.

15) Which is worse: making the summary, picking the tags, or the anxiety when you post your fic? D. All of the Above

16) How do you define success for your fanfic - hits? Kudos? Comments? Bookmarks? Or just if you like it? I try to just write for myself, usually because I haven't seen something like it and think it should exist. I do really enjoy getting comments if only because I'm always curious to hear what readers think about my work.

17) Do you have a playlist for your favorite character / ship? I don't, and if I did it would be odd... I'm the most massive theater nerd. I do have songs that I think fit the vibes, and some shows I listen to have more apt things than others. Or if it's Les Mis it's the whole dang album lol.

Supercorp things if anyone is curious (and wondering how odd it could get): Mercury Rising from Lizzie, Come Home With Me, Anyway the Wind Blows, Wait for Me and Wedding Song from Hadestown, In A Crowd of Thousands from Anastasia, Origin of Love from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Maybe I introduced you to something fun today.

18) If fan art was going to be made from your work, which fic would you pick and which fan artist would you like to create it? Oh dear... I don't know. The thing I'd love to see art for isn't up yet and I just think it would be fun but it will be called What Was I Made For... And we're gonna leave at that for now.

19) How many WIPs do you currently have? I'm finishing up You've Got New Followers (One chapter left!), I think three other WIP's (two more plotted than others) and my WIP for May-Hem... So five?

20) What’s your advice to new fanfic writers? Don't be afraid just because you've never done it before. That's why fanfic is amazing. You can do what you want and in reality no one can stop you, just make sure you're having fun.

Eboni’s Top 22 Hubby moments!

Congratulations 🍾🎉🎉

HEY FRIENDS CELEBRATE ME REACHING 2500 FOLLOWERS BY SENDING ME ASKS:

Nothing’s off the table for these asks. You can ask me anything. Top 3′s, Top 5′s, Top 10′s, even Top 22′s (lord). They can be BL related, KPOP related, food, movies, people. Or you can just drop in the ask box to show your love and congratulate ya sis on 2500.

YOU WOULD ASK ME TO DO A TOP 22! Lmao. Ok, let's see. The only man I'll ever claim as my husband is J-Hope from BTS. If I could I would put a ring on that man's finger today!

Hobipalooza. I couldn't see it in person but I was thankful for Hulu so I could watch him in all his 4k glory on my TV. When I tell you that man had me screaming and creaming. He was in his bag and the vibes from that day were immaculate. He ate. He outsold and out-performed.

2. Hope World Era. In it's entirety. We had all been waiting for Hobi's first mixtape to drop and it did not disappoint. I had that mixtape on repeat for a solid 2 months.

3. 1 Verse Hobi. IDK if he ever performed it live but ONE VERSE???? Top notch rapper J-Hope. So sexy, so confident, and so fucking good!

youtube

4. I Like It Performance. I think J-Hope looks so fucking PERFECT in that performance video. The fluidity of his dancing coupled with his singing???? Hit me right in the feels.

youtube

5. Wings Era Hobi. Wings Era was one of my TOP BTS eras in general, but J-Hope captured the pure essence of that era in his performances. BS&T was his era! JUST UGHHH WIFE ME UP NOW!

6. Hoseok making friendship bracelets for the other members on live. One of his cutest and sweetest moments. He personalized them with specific colors and beads and it was just so wholesome and the members appreciated it so much.

7. American Hustle Life Hobi. I'm pretty sure that was his first time in LA and though the series was super cringey he was so vibrant and positive the whole time. Also the friendship he developed with Nate was super cute.

8. The recent shoot he did with W Korea. He looked fucking stunning and so expensive and so PERFECT!

9. Save Me Era Hobi. I loved his part in Save Me so much. It was short but the most memorable to me. He just looked so...amazing.

10. Hope On The Street. I loved that very short time Hobi had the chance to just do some freestyle dance for the fans. He was in his element and seemed to enjoy himself every time. The one he did with V and Jimin was my fave. I love the Sunshine Line.

youtube

11. Arson Hobi, I'll admit that Arson wasn't my favorite song, but I was so excited for his first solo album. The time and preparation he put into the album was astounding. This album let us in deeper to who he is as Hoseok and that I really, really appreciate.

12. BOY MEETS EVIL HOBI! Ok this is still Wings Era but that video SPECIFICALLY??? THE WAY HE ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS? GAVE US SEXY AND DARK!?

youtube

13. Hobi's birthday celebration. Whatever year EGO came out, 2020 I think. He did a live and he looked so cozy and cuddly and soft and huggable and I loved it so much.

14. DIOR Hobi. Ok. No explanation needed.

15. Tear. His fucking verse in Tear??? THE WHOLE SONG? BUT HIS PART SPECIFICALLY!? He put his foot in that shit.

youtube

While we're on the subject of Hobi doing the pussy-parts of the rap trio songs let's talk about:

16. BTS-Ugh. THE ENERGY. LET ME THROW 40 ENGAGEMENT RINGS AT HIM!

youtube

17. BTS-CYPHER PART 4. I keep going back to WINGS era but it was superior. Argue with your mami.

youtube

18. AND WHILE I'M BACK ON THE SUBJECT OF WINGS! MAMA! HOBI COME GET YOUR FUCKING FLOWERS FOR MAMA! This performance actually had me crying. WHEN HE TOOK US TO CHURCH. Also I love that Jin used to be offstage dancing along with Hoseok.

youtube

19. Did I say EGO Hobi? Probably not. Did I say perfection? Probably not. That was a gym song for me for a long time.

20. Throwback to Hobi in BTS Rookie King. Please if y'all have never watched that variety show please do. It was like their first one and it was so fucking funny. There was an elevator prank ep and Hobi was flailing around on the floor of the elevator and a pretty woman walked in and the EMBARRASSMENT. I love that man.

youtube

21. Anytime my mans posts a selfie it makes me want to marry him and have his kids. I don't want kids, but I want kids with that man.

22. Ab reveal. I think BTS was on an island doing a photoshoot for one of their Seasons Greetings packages and they were at a resort. I just remember a video and Yoongi literally throws the camera into a pool. Anyways Hobi is in the pool and he lifts up his shirt and BAM abs. Had me screaming and crying for days.

wow this took a lot of time. But yes. Hoseok is the only idol I've ever called my husband. He's been in the top spot since I've been into K-POP. Not only does he deserve a 💍 but also a 👑.

Honorable mentions to his verse in Let Me Know from the Dark & Wild Album. That album was also elite.

HEY FRIENDS CELEBRATE ME REACHING 2500 FOLLOWERS BY SENDING ME ASKS:

#Eboni's 2.5k celebration #negrowhat #bts #bangtan #j-hope #jung hoseok #booskiedoodle #bae #did y'all know you can add up to 30 pics/links now?

//the forever war verse!//

Achlys was dead, the veil keeping the changelings from the Valg and Daglan kingdom and fallen.

Wendlyn, and Midgard's wards raised in response but they were the simple capitals.

Vaalbara for the Valg and Prythian for the Daglan as a whole were left unprotected.

Mating markings flared, piting neighbor against neighbor - friend and family against each other.

Everyone knew that Changeling royals getting their mates would be catastrophic.

------

Dianna looked to the sky, feeling the rush of it in her veins. They needed that book - they needed to find the Reshaye.

The weapon could stop this war, could save them all before it was over. Maybe if she got that book Kaden would let her see Gabriella for more than a week this time.

Tobias and Alister seemed more restless than usual. What did they understand that she didn't?

------

Samkiel was happy to stay away, to let his grief consume him. But he felt it now, the screaming of his kin - the Changelings were free.

They were taking whatever they wanted.

He stared at the fire, watching it all in numb and unfeeling.

Raffiel he called himself, he claimed to be Apollion and Cassandra's son. He wore the Heir Marks that his parents had denied.

Would he take his crown?

Should he let the boy have it when he knew the cost came in blood?

------

Adaine turned away from the window, surges of wild magic were blowing free. Whatever spells the Daglan and Valg had performed were being erased.

She looked to her cousin Xaden and Sebastian.

Sebastian stared at the Wyrdstone as the last of the light flared and died. He rubbed at his temples, Xaden couldn't handle the tense silence.

"What now? What's happening?"

"We put up the wall, we tried to stop this from -"

"Pa!"

There was an edge of panic to it. Sebastian lowered his hand and squeezed his son's shoulder.

"War. War is coming. They are free, free to get the revenge they'd wanted to for the last 500 years ago. That's what's coming Xaden...they don't have honor. They will not hesitate to hit you where it matters. Stay with Catriona, stay with Dean let Azriel and Aleksander -"

"Didn't they help free them? Won't they listen to them?"

She hated that her voice came out high. Her sisters had helped topple Achlys. Emelin and Estrella surely were favored right? Surely that counted for something right?

Sebastian sent his neice a tight smile.

"It might, I'm sure they've all made allies. But I don't know if it'll be enough. Many of the Changelings are older and won't listen - they want -"

He flinched, rubbing at his wrist. Be blinked, the Call dragging at his skin. He gritted his teeth exhaling.

"Uncle Bash, are you alright? Is there something -"

Sebastian turned away, pulling his sleeve down over his wrist. He looked to Adaine and Xaden.

"Prepare, get ready."

Natalia I can feel them Call me. I don't think they're just going for me.

Athril, Viren, and Cyrus had all chosen their mates over the good of their Clans. He knew one day he'd pay for that - he had hoped they'd have more time.

//For Nat and Xaden? And Idk any of the new ones?? SYGAEL!!//

Natalia froze where she stood, her hands clenching against the back of the chair she stood behind. Eyes darkened, narrowed. As she heard her mate's voice in her mind, the dread sat like a heavy weight of ice inside of her.

Shadows curled against the wall, the floor; it had been ages since Natalia's emotions took such an effect on her, since her control slipped enough that the darkness was free. Not held back and leashed by her own strength, her own will.

She had been a little girl the last time that had happened.

But the fear that gripped her in that moment as Sebastian's voice echoed in the bond--

Where are the others?

Natalia wasn't even sure who all she referred to with that. Just her children? Or everyone else? Friends and allies and all that had sided with them through the centuries?

Xaden frowned; there was something his father wasn't saying. He noticed the way those shoulders had tensed, that hiss that he'd tried to tell himself he hadn't heard and was imagining--but Xaden knew he'd heard it.

❝ You're not telling me everything. ❞ That hadn't initially been what Xaden had meant to direct towards Sebastian, but perhaps his feelings overtook the logic. He didn't worry about trying to take the words back anyway.

❝ What else is wrong? ❞

Pretty baby

Pairing: Eren x fem!Reader

General info: modern au, just a little random thang

Warnings: fluff, and that is IT.

Summary: You are taking care of a stoned Eren, dragging him to the convenient store you and his song comes on.

Proofread: MHmmM kinda but not good so😃

**Listen I was jamming to this song for no reason and thought that this would cute. Becuz how cute would stoned Eren be???????? PLS-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Late nights dealing with Eren were typical, but late nights dealing and caring for a stoned Eren where he was all giggles and jokes were rare, so when this happened, all you could do was laugh at his slow moving body and lame jokes.

But now Eren made it clearly known to you about how hungry he was, so hungry he would die, that was his words not yours. So, gathering your things and practically dragging Eren out, you both made it outside of your shared apartment. Stepping into the cold weather, walking down the snowy sidewalk and quickly walking to the corner market.

The small bell attached to the clear door announces both of your arrival, a bored "welcome" was received from the cashier who was slumped back on their chair, Eren's warm hand gripped yours trailing you down specifically to the sweet's aisle.

The sudden sound of the opening trumpet to the song that you and Eren were familiar with and usually blasted in his car filled the quiet aisles of the convenient store. Eren's head quickly glanced back at yours, his face plastered with a huge smile complimenting his red hazy eyes, you smile back at his cute face.

'You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you'

Eren quickly walks away from you, he dramatically turns back looking at you, holding a single hand out while singing the lyrics. Laughing at him softy, you take his hand, standing in the small aisle Eren softy begins swaying with you.

'You'd be like heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much'

The store was filled only with the quiet song and Eren's deep voice, you try to tell him stop slightly embarrassed from his sudden antics, but his deep slightly slurred voice consumes yours. One hand still holding yours up and the other resting gently on your waist, he guides you to sway with him to the songs beat. Your own hand resting on his left shoulder slightly squeezing the tough muscle beneath his gray hoodie as a sign of affection.

'At long last the love has arrived, and I thank god I'm alive, You're just too good to be true'

His red drooped eyes looked right into your own as he sung, as if he was trying to let you know that this song was about 'you'. The cashier watching the two of you sent a slight glare your way, probably annoyed by Eren's sudden loud singing, but not paying them any attention you just focus on the man singing his heart out to you instead.

'Pardon the way that I stare, There's nothin' else to compare, The sight of you leaves me weak, There are no words left to speak'

His heavy eyes were finally closed and head slightly was swaying, you could tell how much he was concentrating on singing to you and making sure he didn't step on your foot or crumple into your arms. You would never say it aloud, but his voice was beautiful. The deep resonant slowly seeping into your ears and dissolving sweetly when it finally reached. You could honestly listen to it all day. It wasn't often you'd catch Eren singing, sometimes catching him mumbling along to a random song, or when he was lowly singing in the shower. But right now, you could clearly hear him and so probably could the cashier, his angelic voice blocking out any silence.

'But if you feel like I feel, Please let me know it's real, You're just too good to be true, Can't take my eyes off you'

Eren's eyes opened back up, his head stopped swaying and his red fuzzy eyes were now looking directly into your own, it was as if he made sure you were listening to his words. As the song continued he took his hand off your waist and took his other to your side to spin you into a small twirl, both pair's of feet shuffling along in the small cramped aisle as he turned you back around. You were now back to looking at each other, eye to eye, his voice slightly rising as he gave you a cheeky smile, making you throw your head back in laughter and looking back at him only to see an even wider smile spread across his pink cheeks.

'I love you baby, and if it's quite alright I need you, baby,

To warm the lonely nights

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say,

Pretty baby'

As the chorus continued Eren never missed a line as he kept you close to his warm chest. His hand that was resting on your hips was rubbing soft circles into your fuzzy sweats. Both of your movements were getting slower savoring each others touches, as the song began to get to the last verses you and him both stare into each other's eyes.

'Don't bring me down, I pray

Oh pretty baby,

Now that I've found you, stayyy'

The two of you were still in each others arms, hearing each ones still heart beats, looking up into his eyes finding them filled with nothing but affection and love. His large warm hand raised up to cup your right cheek, pulling you slightly up placing his lips on yours for a long loving kiss. As he pulled away from you, his lips rested slightly against your ear tickling you slightly.

"My pretty baby",

his soft whisper into your ear along with his choice of words for you sent a shiver down your spine. You bring your own hand, raking into into his oak colored hair trailing your finger along his jaw and ending at his chin just to pull him into another small kiss.

"Are you two going to buy anything or-"

The cashiers voice broke the small moment you and him were happening, the sudden realization of dancing in a convenient store hit your sober mind, cheeks filling with warmth you give the worker a solid apology. Eren was still gently holding your hand as you racked the candy choices, his warm lips leaving kisses on your cheeks and the side of your head. He would mumble something about a certain food into your hair, making you giggle at his change of character.

Gathering the food items and paying for them, finally leaving back into the cold now snowing weather. Eren grabbed the bag of treats from your hand, turning to him to only see his face etched with a smile. Snowflakes falling onto each others heads and eyelashes, you stick your tongue out into the freezing air, catching a single snowflake feeling it melt quickly away in your mouth. Eren's less red eyes were watching you, his smile seemed never ending when it came to you, reaching over to your gloved hand he grasped it into his own. Never wanting to let it go.

"Ya know I can't ever take my eyes off of you?", he spoke to you loving the way your cheeks flushed and eyebrows raised. You sweetly smile back at him, loving the moment you shared, and most importantly loving him. You both couldn't take your eyes off each other the entire way back home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am not a writer. Nor am I a person who posts stuff online,if at all rarely. But I am capable of typing and I am legally allowed to say that I have won a high school writing contest in my 3rd period English class in Sophomore year.I am still,what they call,VERY RUSTY.Take that as you may,but never in my life have I read an anonymous ask that has made me be burts into a desire to want to write down a bunch of story ideas of a dream that stranger had and then share it to another stranger online, to reply to publicly to about 100 more other strangers online. But none the less I STILL want to share to you sone of my--headcanons??--ideas??--bullshit dream story plotline??--(idk)-- I'll try to keep it limited because i don't want you to end up reading a rant novel-

I like to think that this //reader link? I'll just use y/n as a stand in i guess for this character or reader ??sorry if you dont like it,you can change it if you want?//before meeting The Chain Links *tm,she use to have a lot of problems being a #femaleheroinduringmediaveltimes but not in a way that most might see?I don't believe she would have really care for other people's opinions on the matter because she sees it as something very trivial and people will alway find a reason to look down on you and she also wasn't exactly let off easy for it during her training to be the hero of her kingdom.Even if she didn't want it,she was already destined and chosen for this path regardless of any possible sexist belief anyone had to offer.Her being the destined hero and needing to be strong enough to fight against Ganon was the utmost important thing on the to-do list,So bullshit like that was not accepted and they made sure it was in grain into her brain.

"Don't believe your enemies will ever go easy on you no matter what you are".

Most of the problems she would struggle as female I think ,would be on more on the biological side of things,for example like getting her period but being forced to have to truck though them anyways because she was a hero and it meant that you couldn't just take time off from your responsibilities and duty as Hyrule's saviour "just for some bad cramps" when you have lives to be saving and a world that needs to be protecting.So she would just not show any sign of complaint to the others about it or even let alone tell them about it and it just always seemed like from the outside that she would randomly just get super quiet and little withdrawn for no reason every month or so with a sort of tired/vacant look in their eyes?Anon also mentioned them having more of a military knight background and assuming she had been trained to or at least has lead troops into war/battle before,she could definitely be one of the teams best strategist along side with Warrior Link.I can definitely see them getting closer because of this as they're usually chipping in plans together and coming up with ideas/plans with what the best ways to use everyone on the team's special skills for certain position/roles during possible future battles.But a little bit after the whole "river" scenario i can definitely see legend sort of yell at her like

"wtf you is a girl and did not tell??? eXPLANaTiOn?????" "Because i didn't think it mattered??" "iT DoSe MaTtEr! ThAtS a bIG tHiNg!!"

There would definitely be a bit of an intervention with everyone to talk about the issue from "before". Maybe some what after everyone had gotten redressed and suddenly didn't feel like bathing anymore. After that everyone seem...awkward. No one knew exactly how to continue on with the revelation,so they all just stayed quite.At first she mistook this as a sign that everyone handled it well,she tried to continue business as always.While everyone was packing up to head out,she'd suddenly feel everyone's eyes.... Looking at her. When she turned she everyone just minding their own business.Maybe it was all just in herhead.The rest of the walk seem almost dead quiet.The once cheer mood of chatter was now replaced with an awkward tension filled with only small side glances,little quiet whispering from behind and an inability to look her in the face when she tried chatting with anyone.Is this what it was going to be like from now on?No of course not.They wouldn't let something as trivial as this get in the way of their relationship,right?they were still friends,right?

If you have the ability to but the stories in your head into recorded words then that makes you a writer.

No, I will not take any criticism on this matter.

This is beautifully thought out and it was a joy to read. I had to read it out loud out of fear that I would miss something entirely but I'm glad I did.

I would imagine it to be difficult to be on her period simply because when you're traveling there's no supplies to help out or lessen the situation! No cotton, no pain killers, not a lot of hot water to begin with... And yeah, she wouldn't say anything about it because a soldier wouldn't have the time to take care of it, let alone a hero.

She would also be the most used to blood on her clothes out of the group I think at this point. Just takes it upon her self to clean their clothes because they never seem to be able to get all of it and they don't know what they're doing even if she were to tell them how.

The boys think it's some magic technique but no.... it's just experience.

But the reader here that you mentioned would have had good teachers for burning it into her brain that it doesn't matter what body she has or what other people say because she the hero. She was born for this and there's no pleasing any one anyway. the best way out of this is to do the job and make sure you can get out alive.

What I want of the last paragraph is for her to get a little mad and question what the hell s wrong with everyone and then for someone to reply that it would have been disrespectful to look without direct permission because she would have deserved better than that. Like, they're fine with each other because they all have the same parts so like no big deal, but for them so openly show her themselves, verses her being seen openly.

I think it'll be a mixed bag of them being embarrassed that they were seen and that they saw her.

I think the ones least effected by it would be Wind, Warrior and Hyrule. Hyrule, because there's no like no people in his world so he doesn't have the same perception as the others, verses Wind who would probably be weird in the beginning but promptly not think too much on it because he has a sister at home and would help her bath when she was younger, verses Tetra who has had multiple shirts torn in the middle of battle- so who cares?

I was originally going to put Warrior as one of the most effected but I've played the game.... There are so many female warriors so if they got hit in the boob and needed attention then you take care of it. no questions asked and you move on with your day end of story.

The most effected would probably be Time, Twilight and Sky.

Time and Sky because- holy cow, I have a significant other, what am I going to say if they find out I saw another naked woman? Nothing. That's what. I'm a dead man if they ever find out.

Twilight because he was raised with his respect woman juice for breakfast and would have gladly turned away and oh my god- my mom is not going to like that I just didn't do anything this entire time and she's going to think that I just stared like some degenerate and what do I do now?

I think this is a fun concept and I don't mind exploring it more, but I'm beginning to suspect that I'm going to need a tag for the dream saga aren't I?

[?] Days of K-ristmas: Day 6*

aka

The K-List: #15

*(if you have no idea what I'm talking abt with this "[?] Days of K-ristmas" thing the very longwinded explanation is here lmao)

She's In The Rain

The Rose

Okay okay, I know this is another title track, probably one of their most famous so everyone who knows about The Rose knows about this song already

But I wanna talk about it anyway bc this is my blog and I can do what I want it's a really important song for me that stuck with me from the first time I heard it and I just wanna gush about it and talk about that

So some of my moots who have followed me since before last April may know this story already because I mentioned it in a post at the time, but last spring I was in a really bad place. I was having a really stressful semester and going through a lot of inner conflict about my future. My roommate had moved out (not because of any conflict! She just wanted to live somewhere cheaper, which is valid!) meaning I was living alone in a two person dorm, which was actually really bad for my health because without anyone else around I wasn't taking good care of myself or my environment. My sleep '''''schedule''''' was non-existent and there were many times when I was pulling all nighters or skipping meals to work on things. My group of college friends had all moved off campus, so even when I did remember/make time to go eat in the student center I ate alone. The fact that I was so worried about school meant I never really made plans with those friends either because I was always beating myself up for not focusing enough on my coursework. I was pretty much completely isolating myself and I spent most of my time alone in my dorm -- which you may recall, I wasn't taking good care of -- and being in that environment only made me feel worse about myself. I felt so depressed and unproductive in such a messy place, but I couldn't make time to get my environment in order because I had coursework I needed to do... but I couldn't efficiently work on my coursework because I felt so depressed and unproductive in the environment I created and around and around (it's also really difficult for me to focus in public places/around other people because I get easily distracted, so I didn't really have a good place to work other than my dorm). My irl best friend (aka my main source of support and physical affection) and my family were 2 hours away and I was completely touch starved. And I rarely went home on the weekend or left my dorm at all because I felt like every moment I wasn't trying to be productive I was being lazy. Both my mental and physical health were absolute trash. And I knew I was in a bad place but I had no idea how to get myself out. I felt like I had no time or energy to take any major steps to improve my situation.

I went home for Easter break. Three days of focusing on family instead of school and acting like I wasn't spending the whole time worrying about all the stressful things I would have to deal with when I got back.

During my 2 hour drive back to school Monday night I was keeping myself company with my Spotify playlists as usual and eventually Spotify began playing me "recommended radio"

And it was at this time that I heard She's in The Rain for the very first time

My first thoughts were that it sounded like an amazing song, but even despite the language barrier I could tell that it was a very emotional song so I was thinking it might not be the best thing to listen to when I was already feeling so down

And then Woosung's voice in perfect English in the last verse:

"You wanna hurt yourself, I'll stay with you

You wanna make yourself go through the pain

It's better to be held than holding on"

completely struck me in the heart and I pulled over into the next gas station and cried.

I'm not in that same situation anymore and I've been taking steps since then to try to get myself to a better place and improve my health. And living at home now with my family (and my best friend living 5 minutes away) and not feeling so isolated anymore has been a huge part of that

Hearing those words that night really struck a chord with me. It is better to confide your troubles in people and to be vulnerable and let yourself be held by someone who cares about you than to be just trying to hold on all by yourself. And the way the last chorus changes from "She's in the rain" to "We're in the rain" is such a beautiful ending as well as a perfect metaphor. When you're struggling your friends can't always do anything to get you out of that situation no matter how much they want to. But they can be there to try to support you and stand in the rain with you so that you don't have to go through hard times all alone

(this post is so long now and it's mostly just been about me and not the song I'm sorry ajdjksla)

But I also just wanna say that this song is so beautiful! It's really a masterpiece imo

The way that it starts out with just the acoustic guitar and Woosung's voice is so simple and pretty (and I thought it was a violin but then I realized maybe it was the bass but I swear I hear violin too idk maybe it's in the backing track or something?? am I crazy? lmk) and then the drums and everything really coming in almost halfway through the song after the first verse??? 😔👌👌👌

One of the things I love about Korean songs in when the singer is able to convey the emotion of a song with their voice and make you feel despite the language barrier. Woosung has one of the best examples of this. His voice is so unique, just hearing it can tug at your heartstrings even if you don't actually know what the words he's saying mean (which also makes it a 1 hit KO when he DOES say something in English ajdjksla) the way his voice literally makes him sound like he's on the verge of tears throughout the whole song really enhances it so much

(Dojoon has such a pretty voice too!! It's been a while since I've head it since he didn't sing on RED and I've been listening to a lot of other groups but yeah after listening to this song again to pick out all the parts to put in this post I'm reminded of how good he sounds in it 😔🙏 bless)

So I'll try to just wrap it up now since I've talked a lot: The Rose is such a good band and this is such a good song and the lyrics are so beautiful (you should look up the full translation if you haven't!)

Okay. That's all. I love this song, and if you've read this far I love you!!!!

#i always absolutely gush and take way too long to write these akdnkaka #please go listen to this song it's just so pretty 🤧#the rose #she's in the rain #kpop #the k-list #[?] days of k-ristmas #kjersten talks too much

2018 NanoWrimo Wrap up

Final Count:

Word count : 13,765

Longest streak : 16 days

Best day : 11.07, 2,365 words

Worst day : 11.11, 104 words

Average per day : NAN

Missed : 10 days

So I missed the check-in last week... partly because there was barely any progress there, which was mostly because of... stuff. November, as it turns out, is not the greatest time to do this sort of thing for students and lab rats. It was a nice escape from reality to do Nano, which has always been why I write these fics.

Also how is it that I started out intending to get a decent progress with one wip but ended up with two more ideas?? Why brain. Why.

1. Transformers Kaleidoscope verse (8,315 words)

I did not get anywhere near as much as I wanted with this... Apparently thinking up how a long stalemate battle would go is quite different from actually showing it without making it too repetitive. It’s also somewhat more difficult to get into the characters’ head/processor because it’s been a while. But I think once I start editing and add the stuff that has been written before Nov, there might be enough progress to start posting it.

2. Original fic (4,666 words)

The real reason Kaleidoscope didn’t get much progress. (Keep telling yourself that heron) New wip #1 : an original sci-fi/fantasy fic inspired by Sword & Sworcery EP game (moreover its soundtrack). I’m calling it Tale of Two for now. Act 1 of side A is done, and I’ve started with side B. Currently looking for another nice futuristic sci-fi space travel soundtrack for this part. Opus: the day we found Earth Soundtrack suits really well, but if anyone has other suggestions please let me know. If it goes well, I might return to Wattpad or create a new blog for it. IDK

3. Star Wars snippet that may or may not become its own fic (788 words)

A long conversation with @melissa18999 ended with a random 1-hour word spurt, which resulted in a slightly angsty/heartwarming scene between... you guessed it, Anakin and Obi-Wan. (The amount of Anakin & Obi-Wan angst/heartwarming moments in my wip folder is insane.) This is an AU set during the Orders arc (not my favorite arc tbh) where... I’ll just add the snippet below.

Nano website, which keeps track of these stats, tells me at this rate I’ll finish some time on February. So for the lulz I’m going to keep on and see if I can’t hit at least 30k by that time. I should get a little breathing room after Dec 7th, though there’s no guarantee for my mental well-being by that time.

Snippet is under cut. I wrote it at 2 am and have not touched on anything so warning for general messiness.

And that’s all folks. Take care.

----

He heard the door to his quarters open, but didn't look up. He already knew who it was. With Ahsoka gone, there was only one person who would visit his room at this hour.

"Anakin," Obi-Wan said, sitting next to him on the couch. "You look troubled. Is everything alright?"

No, Anakin wanted to say. Everything was not alright. Everything was wrong.

"I'm fine. Just worried about Fives."

The familiarity of it all was exhausting. First Ahsoka, now his own men? Why couldn't anyone around him just be normal?

The Chancellor's voice echoed in his head. It's because you are special, Anakin...

Anakin pushed the voice away. Obi-Wan was too close.

"I talked to the Council," Obi-Wan said, unaware of the thoughts. "Master Ti thinks it might be one of those worms from Geonosis."

"We haven't been anywhere near Geonosis in ages," Anakin said.

"Still--"

"And besides, if it was Geonosis worm then why would Fives--" he stopped short.

But the damage was done.

Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed. "Fives what?"

Anakin bit his lips and looked away.

Obi-Wan faced him properly. "What about Fives? Did you find him?"

Anakin sighed. "He's in-- he's in good hands. He was scared so I just..."

"Anakin, this is serious! He needs to be brought here so we can examine him! If there is a parasite then Fives is just as much a danger to himself as to his brothers!"

The old anger, defiance crept back up. The Chancellor’s words replayed in his head, over and over, along with other memories.

They don't trust you...

I have to figure this out by myself, without you.

What you need is a break, Ani...

They don't trust you...

"They don't trust me, is that what this is about?"

Obi-Wan sounded more tired than angry. "Anakin, this isn't about you. It's about Fives--"

"Fives is one of my men. I can deal with him, just give me time."

"Deal with how? The Council wants to be thorough. A Jedi Master has died."

"And they don't trust me to do it!"

"That's not it, Anakin."

"But it is!"

Silence.

Anakin deflated. Obi-Wan may deny it, but he knew what he knew. He had known it from the beginning, ever since that day, standing in the council room for the first time, scared and alone and feeling so, so cold surrounded by the greatest Jedi Masters of the time.

They don't trust you. They're afraid of what you are capable of.

"I just...” Anakin buried his face in his hands. “I tried so hard. I did," He couldn't look at Obi-Wan's eyes right now, not with what he was about to do to the man, his friend, his brother.

But he had made up his mind.

"I tried so hard... to be what I should have been..." He clenched his fist, fighting back the hot feeling that welled up.

"I'm sorry it wasn't enough."

Obi-Wan flinched. It didn't take the Force to tell he was surprised by the admission. "Anakin... what are you talking about?"

Anakin could not answer. Still without looking at his old master, he slowly picked up his lightsaber and pressed it into Obi-Wan's hand.

There was dead silence as Obi-Wan slowly realized what it meant.

"Are you... sure?"

No. "Yes."

Another silence.

It went long enough that Anakin dared a peek towards his master. Obi-Wan's eyes were closed. He was doing his best to keep composed, but the devastation was clear.

He felt sickened by himself. He was doing to Obi-Wan exactly what Ahsoka had done to him. What was wrong with him?

Before Anakin could spiral any further, Obi-Wan asked. "Can you at least tell me why? This isn't just about Fives is it?"

Oh. Well if he was going to do this might as well get everything out.

"I'm... uh... married."

"...Padme."

Anakin gave a tight nod, shoulders hunching further as he crossed his arms tightly. He fixed hiis gaze at a minuscule crack on the floor, unable to face Obi-Wan's disappointment.

[add more]

Finally, Obi-Wan made a sound that sounded strangely like a laugh.

"I can't believe you didn't invite me."

What? Anakin opened his eyes.

Obi-Wan continued quietly. "Thank you for telling me. And... you have my blessings."

...what?!

Anakin was so shocked he forgot to look appropriately ashamed. Where was the anger? The disappointment?

"You're not... angry?"

"Anakin," he said, and it was almost the exact same chiding tone. "I have known, or at least suspected, for a long time." He raised an eyebrow. "You two are not very subtle, you know."

Oh. A joke. In this moment. Typical.

But then Obi-Wan became serious again. "I only want you to be happy, Anakin."
