#19 for the ask game!!

how do they silently express love because they are so cute I cannot do this I am GOING TO COMBUST

19. How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?

adam flies like 5 cities over to buy new teas for steven every month so he feels very cozy :D steven thinks hes just getting them at the store lol (yes adam has sleeves this time! its october rn in my mind for them!! u know how fionna's world existed in simon's head? theyre in MY head)

i strongly hc adam has night time anxiety and needs nice smoothing stimulation to go to sleep (not projecting, why would i need asmr to sleep? oh btw i added my asmr recs playlist in my pinned post :3) anyway, steven whispers his lecture notes for the next day and combs adams hair and down his back and arms like a massage but its mostly just combing motions. i think adam would have an eye mask but i wanted to draw his eepy lil face :3

The fandom contribution navelgazing under the cut 🫠 and it's hella long.

Ice skating was terribleeeeee today but my friend was back after being ill and she made me text our other friend bc I was fretting about her and I got some very good very necessary endorphins from skating and from being harassed by our tiny French Canadian coach (this class is turning me into a Canadian Anti fr....how does your national sport involve skating but you are all so bad at teaching adult learn to skate classes...god.) I'm going skating on my lunch break tomorrow and I'm going to try to make a habit of going regularly during my lunches!!

Anyway the endorphins were enough to carry me through inexplicable 8:30pm San Jose traffic and it gave me enough clarity while watching some truly atrocious merging in front of me to think abt why I do fandom and what I use fandom for and what I want out of fandom, particularly as my life and priorities are shifting. This year was a hot mess and I made a lot of mistakes, but as I come out of the worst of it with a clearer head than I've had in years when it comes to what I value in life, it is starting to make me think more deeply about how I spend my free time (well how I spend all of my time, really, but that's a different post) and what I value doing and creating in fandom when my time available to do fandom is increasingly limited.

Ella said something absolutely harrowing but also very beautiful to me today, that we've known each other for almost twenty years. Twenty years!! Next year, we'll have officially been two dumb teenagers on livejournal who grew up together and now are growing old together for twenty years. That's over half my life! And she's not the only one, Erin's been in my life almost as long, and Jane and Nat too! Becs just a few short years behind them, and Lea and Maddy and Lorna! That's a lot of years to know people you met on the internet in fandom and have only met once or twice or never at all but still have remained present in each other's lives in some way or another for two decades. Incredible to realize I've been in love with Ella since I was 15. Incredible to realize I've been obsessed with Becs since I was 19. Incredible to realize Erin and I have been hollering at zoo animals together since we were teenagers!!

And it's so funny because thinking back, so much of those friendships were not even because we met randomly or were sliding into each other's DMs (there were no DMs), most of that was through communities other people built that we were part of. I wasn't part of the mod team that ran the challenge where Ella and I met Becs for the first time. I wasn't part of the mod team that created the insane Killers (band, the band) meme community that Erin and I met in and I certainly had no hand in creating the communal fandom nightmare that sprung up around The Libertines, where many of my oldest fandom friendship were born. A lot of these relationships were built on other people's hard work in creating spaces where other fans could just exist together, could write together, make jokes together, enjoy the act of creation together.

It's so interesting to me because I've found that while fandom as a whole is increasingly segregated and isolated in ways that absolutely suck, there's still seems to be a genuine desire for communal creation? There's a genuine desire to create things together, in whatever ways that looks like to each person. I feel like, the more of these challenges I run, the more I see that there is a genuine desire to BE together in fandom, to share and enjoy and love the act of creation together. And I don't know how much of that has to with the commodification and discordification of fandom and the creators who have been left behind or who have had to deal with that, but it's interesting to see that people do still want, if not a broader fandom community, at least a community in which to create things.

Anyway, thinking about that while contemplating how I want to move forward with @timebegins-onopeningday this week, and what's been on the back of my mind as my life rights itself - whether I want to do @fromthebottomofthepugetsound and @sharkuda-strong again or if I want to let those two go, what rules I want to adjust for @theresonly1u next summer, the check-in I need to do @4thlinegrindfest, all the stuff I gotta talk to kb about for untitled old man hockey fest. And it's like - and this is why I cut this entire post and why I'm making in unrebloggable - am I running these challenges because I want more fic about the people I enjoy, am I running these challenges because no one else will, or do I want to reframe (for myself, going forward) that if my fandom time is valuable and limited, maybe it's more important to think about and focus on my desire to encourage the act of creation and to help create community more than running challenges are strictly about the product of that creating.

Like, if my priorities in all aspects of my life are shifting and the time I have available to spend time in fandom is increasingly limited (for both good and bad), do I want to spend so much of my time then running challenges with the goal of endless production and content, or do I want to spend my time running challenges with the goal of fostering creating and creation, in whatever form that takes?

You'll catch me in a hell I don't believe in before I mod a discord server for any fandom. But it does make me think, like, okay, how can I manipulate the spaces these challenges take place in - how do I manipulate the limitations of Tumblr as a microblogging site, how do I manipulate AO3 as an archive, to foster and grow spaces that are as much about the act of creating as they are about what you create. I don't have a firm answers yet for myself, but it's slowly starting to take shape.

I think a lot about what Lesa commented under a post of me getting whipped up about not completing anything for @michigan-lakehouse - that there's no act of writing that's lost or forgotten, the stuff you abandon is just sourdough starter. I think that's the heart of what I want out of these challenges, thinking about it now. I'd like everyone to walk away from these challenges feeling, if nothing else, at least like they have sourdough starter for a work - maybe they didn't complete their work, maybe they hate what they made, but they have the beginning of something, they have something they can use for later, even if it's just 100 words of story or half an outline of an idea they use later. Even more ideally, someone walks away feeling more confident in their abilities as a creator or they walk away feeling braver about being in fandom or they walk away just feeling good about who they are and what they bring to the fandom table, regardless of whether or not they had a completed work. In a perfect world, they have all that AND they found a new person to DM about their fave, or they got invited to a new Discord server of like-minded people, or even just found someone new to follow. Maybe that's too lofty for a goal for an Archive of Our Own-hosted project that is mostly advertised on Tumblr, I don't know. And again, I'm still thinking about what that would even look like and how I would make that happen in a way that is both accessible to everyone and doable for me as one person who is very busy. But it's on my mind.

Because I mean, what is the point of doing anything for fandom, if not to create community?

[ask-andante]

Hi, I've decided to officially end this blog.

It took a lot of time thinking about it (tbh i was even thinking about it before the anon) and discussion with close friends and I think I am done.

This blog was used to help me get through various parts of my life, and it can no longer serve that purpose. It's done its job wonderfully and helped me cope and even make a friend circle after isolating myself for a few years. I never thought I'd ever have an actual friend group, but it's something that was made possible VIA this blog.

It hurts a lot to end it, I won't lie, I'm like actually mourning it rn but I've started to develop a sort of resentment towards the blog and plot askblogs due to Mental Illness and I think I just cannot keep holding onto this blog anymore. So, I decided it's best to let it go before I hate it. I doubt I'll come back to finishing it after posting the plot outline, seeing as it's all out in the open, but you never know.

The doc contains the outline with a header to jump to where this blog left off. I got pretty far in so I feel extra down about tossing in the towel here, but that's just how it is. I've tried many ways to salvage my motivation, lowering art quality being the main one as art is my job now and it's no longer the escape it used to be, but I don't think the workload itself is the issue.

If I move onto future projects, you will likely see me post them on @aibouart , so feel free to check the art blog out and follow if you'd like. I am not abandoning the characters here, I will continue to draw them likely and RP them and whatnot. You can send asks OOC anytime, just know I may not be very active~

Anyways, here's the plot outline. Some things are not included in it despite having been planned because they were either up in the air on their specifics, or were late additions not added in yet (nast stops appearing in the outline some ways into it as they were a new addition to help give Andan another person to have a better dynamic with. They were planned to become friends < 3 )

Thank you for reading and for your patience, as well as everyone's continued support over the years. This blog was great as a form of expression and art, and great to get me socialising. I discovered many things about myself over the course of being here on Tumblr and this blog was one of the starting points~

If you'd like some minor additional content, you can go and read over old memes: @andanteooc

Or the related blog: @andanterelated

The related blog consists of memes I've reblogged tagging relevant characters.

You can feel free to send me asks to talk about the plot outline or anything else. I won't post any spoilers until tomorrow, or I'll just tag them "andante spoilers///" if you were interested in the doc to read at a later date.

Please note it is missing quite a few details as I used to log the combat or speech sections separately before actually putting them in the doc (the og was pasted from a tumblr page). I can answer asks about things that weren't addressed because of its nature, but will not repeat myself if it's been asked haha.

Thank you again. I initially started this blog with a goal in mind and succeeded in it years ago, so I think I can be happy that it went above my original goals.

#yeahyeahyehayehay #you can dm me too about it if u don't wanna use asks or it's too much to send #but fanmail works for that as well #just note i may be less inclined to respond to DMs as they're more personal in that way #but i will read them #unless you ignored the giant plastered warning on the doc then i will just like #ignore u #text #update #queuedante

fic stats meme! 💌

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.

tagged by @loserdiaz, @hippolotamus

this isn't completely accurate because i forgot to do flat view so this is only for the stats of my 911 fics

most hits

christopher diaz has two fathers and no one can tell him otherwise

Christopher just wanted to make a Father's Day card for his Buck. He doesn't understand why Ms. Flores is being so mean!

second most kudos

we're gonna be okay, kid

The last thing Buck is expecting is to be woken up from his ill advised mid-morning nap with a call from Christopher's school, telling him that Chris is sick and should go home. He can't leave his favourite kid to fend for himself so even though Eddie might get mad at him, again, he's on his way to pick up Chris before he can even think about it.

third most comments

with you is where i wanna be (take me home)

“C’mon, Buck. Let’s go.” Eddie said, coming up behind him and clapping him on the back. 

Buck cracked one eye open and turned to look at his best friend. “Huh?” 

“You’re coming home with me,” Eddie replied, not even looking at Buck as he opened his own locker and started pulling out things to shove into his duffle bag. “You have spare clothes and everything else you need to spend the night already at the house. I’ll bring you back here tomorrow so you can get your car.” 

Buck hummed in answer, too tired to come up with words for a proper reply. 

Or, the one in which Buck is too exhausted to drive himself home so Eddie takes him back to his place. Includes Buckley-Diaz family fluff, pining, and sleepy cuddles.

fourth most bookmarks

yours and mine equals ours

At the 118's annual Fourth of July BBQ, Ana is supposed to be keeping an eye on Christopher while Eddie grabs them some food; however her attention is on the fact that Eddie doesn't trust her the way he trusts Buck. With her preoccupied, she doesn't notice Christopher losing his balance until it's too late. Christopher has a little fall and Eddie has some realizations.

fifth most words

i'll take the road that leads me back to you

Post-Lawsuit AU. 

Buck's finally back with his family but nothing is the same. The people he considered his family could barely look at him, the man he'd fallen in love with was ignoring him and dating some teacher. 

He decides he needs some time away, maybe some space will finally let them all heal. Will he come back? Will the 118 be able to finally move on and forgive each other?

fic with the least words

to be okay

Every morning is the same. Buck wakes up, and doesn’t fully breathe until his phone is in his hand and the message thread with Bobby is open. After Bobby has replied and Buck can breathe again knowing that Bobby is okay, he texts Eddie and Christopher.

14, 27, 29 for the fic writer ask meme?

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

Either my body over yours (because sexy bodyguard tropes) or things keep getting better (because I need to see Ted interacting with the Queer Eye folks for real)

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

Probably the sequel for the bodyguard universe because I was like, “what if this isn’t how anyone imagined Ted and Rebecca’s lives to go and it ruins the original fic retroactively?” 😅

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

I randomly wrote the first third (?) of a fic a week or so ago. It’s ’s pretty low on my list to finish so…here’s a (long) bit of that:

Rebecca pokes her head into the coaches’ office and finds Beard all alone. He’s absorbed in a book about bioluminescence, his legs propped up on his desk. Ted’s chair sits empty across from him. No track jacket hanging over the back, no backpack or coffee cup to be seen.

Her stomach sinks as she realizes they’re not just missing each other this morning. He’s not here.

“Where’s Ted?”

“He’s home,” Beard replies, barely glancing up from the page he’s reading.

She frowns. “Is he sick?”

“He’s feeling a little off this morning.”

Her stomach sinks again. She and Ted were due to get drinks tonight, a pre-game ritual of sorts. With West Ham tomorrow, she’d been counting on it to take her mind off seeing Rupert tomorrow.

Except that’s not right.

Rebecca frown deepens. Ted’s not one to take a sick day from the club, especially not the day before a big game like this. Or at least not without texting her some sort of explanation. There’s something Beard isn’t telling her.

She steps further into the office, looming over him in her three inch heels.

“Feeling off how?”

Beard sighs and closes his book, his finger wedged between the pages to save his spot.

“Let’s just say you should ask before eating someone else’s food and leave it at that.”

He chuckles as he reopens the book, self-satisfied in a way Rebecca finds incredibly odd if Ted is actually ill.

He’s also being cryptic and if she knows one thing about Coach Beard it’s that once he’s speaking in riddles, he’s unlikely to explain himself.

Right. The only answer is to go see Ted for herself.

“Fine. I’ll swing by and check in on him at lunch.”

“No!” He sits up, dropping his feet from the desk and clambering into an upright position.

“Why not?”

“Because you can’t!” His voice squeaks on the last word, the sentence lifting off into the stratosphere of the office.

“I can’t?” She raises a brow defiantly, but Beard shakes his head.

“No, sorry, but you are the last person who should be seeing Ted right now.”

She scoffs. Granted it might be odd for a boss to see her employee when he’s in physical (possibly gastronomical) distress, but they’re friends. Good friends. The type of friends who help one another out when they’re in pain. Emotional or . . . otherwise.

She crosses her arms over her chest.

“And who are you to decide that?”

Beard splutters, his eyes looking between her and the door. Despite the crazed look in his eye, he can’t seem to find an answer to her question.

“That’s what I thought.” She adjusts her purse on her shoulder and turns on her heel just as Beard finally finds his voice.

“Wait!” He reaches under his desk and pulls out a medium sized brown paper bag, the top rolled shut.

“If you’re going to insist on doing this, can you at least bring him this?”

She eyes the bag as she takes it from him. “I suppose I can.”

“Just don’t look inside.”

“Fine. May I just say, this is one of the strangest conversations I’ve had with anyone, let alone an employee?”

“Yeah well the conversation you’re about to have is gonna give this one a run for your money.” He shakes his and opens his book. “Tell Ted I said hi.”

She stares at him for a minute, debating if it’s worth asking what he means. It’s not. She’s better off seeing Ted for herself.

#I…really hope the read more works 😂 #I’m on mobile and have never quite figured out how to do it on mobile… #ask #chainofclovers #thanks!! #edit: it didn’t work so I trimmed it lmao

[rudojudo]

So there's a TTRPG work in progress meme going around and I've been tagged by @theresattrpgforthat and I love talking about my ideas! With the release of Giant of Light, I've got a few going, I'll borrow the cooking metaphor @bleongambetta came up with:

Front Burner (actively in progress, I know what I want the game to be, spend some time in the document at least once a week):

-Free Lunch for Magic Users

Fantasy post-post-apocalypse in rural New England. Players are fast talking conmen with a teaspoon of magical talent, inspiration from Fallout and Discworld.

-4AM in Santa Carla

Lost Boys game where you're one of the background vampires. Hopefully a one-page game.

-Hero of Tomorrow

Superman hack of GoL.

Back Burner (I think about it often, I make notes when I have an epiphany, but major mechanics are still open):

-Demon Castle Dracula

My tribute to Castlevania; a mapping/exploration game using a Tarot deck.

-Sentai Squads (title subject to change)

A competitive game based on Super Sentai/Power Rangers. Each player manages a team that's trying to be the most popular team while also saving the day.

-V/H/Essence

Be a movie monster! A thesis on Queerness and mental illness in modern America, also a bit of a World of Darkness deconstruction.

-Pegwarmers

Metafictional game about The Tranformers (or toylines in general); fight to make sure that you have enough fans that you're in the next reboot of the franchise!

-Journey to the Quest

Optimistic Shonen Jump adventure! Play as a powerful child overthrowing oppressive regimes with a card game battle system. Theoretically first in a trilogy.

Still on the Prep Station (I have an idea here, but probably one or two mechanics at most, several don't even have titles):

-plUnderworlds

GM-less existential adventure game about being the last survivor of a dead universe.

-Cooking Competition Game

Mario Kart meets Cutthroat Kitchen. Improvise a dish and mess with your opponents.

-Demonbrain

Anime combat game about having a spiritual parasite. Less JoJo's, more Venom if the symbiote was looking to escape.

-Wasted

"Hi, I'm Ishida Mitsunari and welcome to Jackass!" Time travellers are stuck in a deathless purgatory dimension where the odds no longer make sense.

-Fighting Game Game

Built to replicate my favorite mechanics from fighting games and in service to the wild, expansive lore of the best fighters.

13! Seems fine. I'm not tagging anyone else to do this, because everyone I know well enough in TTRPGs has either done it or has said they're trying to step back from new game design. But I'll answer basically any questions about any of these!

Fic-Writer Interview

Not tagged but picked up from @mercurygray :)

How many works do you have on AO3?

261!

What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,762,015!

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Affinity War (3182)

3 Simple Rules for Dating a Centenarian (2688)

The Great Madripoorian Snake Off (2245)

"Stare Enough" (1843)

Alright on Paper (1463)

Picture a t-shirt bearing the exhausted Ben Affleck smoking meme and the words, "I survived the MCU and so can you!" (My top 5 were written for Spider-Man and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.)

Do you respond to comments?

Respond and proceed to treasure forever.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

After poking around in my catalogue of fics, it's either one I wrote for Bodyguard, "Don't Ever Let Me Start," or "The Pretty Ones (Who Try to Kill You)" for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Most of what I write does have a happy ending. Hmm... Love Me Like You Drew (for Nancy Drew) and "Same Day, Different Jumpsuit" (the one and only Natasha/Mobius fic on AO3) are both near and dear to my heart.

Do you write crossovers?

Nope! I'm a real compartmentalizer.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yes! So fun! It typically boils down to "I don't like the ship(s) and/or character(s) in this fic and am here to complain even though you tagged everything properly and I could have just scrolled past!" Fic hate is silly. I chuckle all the way to the "delete" button.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

*shakes smut variety pack* What kind ya lookin' for?

Click here for my E-rated fics on AO3.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yep, I've had people post my fics on other platforms without my permission, thinking that as long as they added my username for "credit," it was all good 🙄

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have not, by choice.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! I'm an editor and an only child, so.

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

I've written for so many pairings (and a few trios), but Midge/Lenny from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has an evergreen ability to set my heart aflutter.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Rude. Probably my Scream AU of Nancy Drew. I would love to write it, but I can't currently see going back and reacquainting myself with all the characters I'd planned to include.

What are your writing strengths?

I love writing humour, in dialogue or otherwise. Also descriptions packed with metaphor.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I. Hate. Plot. I'm here—on this planet, on the internet—to create atmosphere, not complex storylines.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Love it! Like @mercurygray, I speak some French and Italian, so those are the ones I tend to add if I'm going beyond English.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Gilmore Girls (specifically A Year in the Life), and I am ready to return to it TOMORROW if Amy Sherman-Palladino provokes me with more bad characterization.

What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Nothing comes to mind! With both ships and fandoms, I pretty much jump when I wanna jump. I'm also always open to hearing requests.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

Oh! Oh! What a question! It's my baby, my Pride and Prejudice AU, For Now, We May Remain Silent. I wrote it with my copy of Austen open on my desk next to my laptop, going line by line. I worked on it while coping with the final illness and death of someone I loved very much, so a lot of love went into it, and I'm glad I have the fic as a reminder of that time.

From "Studio Tour," still my favourite chapter:

Here are her paintbrushes, disorganized and held in the loose grip of big, old coffee cans. The brushes rattle when Peter runs his finger over their handles, the faded red bristles spinning. A thick, flat brush with discoloured yellow bristles might be his favourite. Glancing over his shoulder, he furtively strokes the uneven hairs with his thumb. They all have this well-used quality that makes his chest clench confusingly. Michelle’s been living a whole life with these in her hand, he thinks, and I don’t know anything about it.

Tagging: Any and all fic-writers following me! Say I tagged ya!

Looking back on this year it’s been a rollercoaster to say the least, but I think realistically every year is!

2022 has brought some of the worst heartbreaks and lowest points of my life but also so many once in a lifetime opportunities that have changed my life, career, and the woman I’m becoming.

It was seriously hard finding out days before my birthday that one of my biggest fears of having fertility problems was now a reality, having a lot of illness throughout the year, suddenly losing a loved one that I was so close to and many more mishaps along the way but if anything I now have a better understanding of the saying “with dark times come light times”. Despite all the turbulence I got to see some of the places I always dreamed of seeing, became a published author, started my first insight to the court system and landed work with the department of justice and my county’s women’s assembly. Some serious pinch me moments 😅

2023 is going to be one of the biggest years of my life and I already have so many exciting milestones coming in the new year that I can’t wait to experience. And I can’t wait for all the laughs, memes, friends, fics and posts this year will have for our little community!

To all the amazing friends I have made - I don’t know what I would do without you all and I can’t thank you enough for your support, friendship and laughs. And to everyone who has had any part in my blog - thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope I have managed to bring you some sort of entertainment or joy.

Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 book, so let’s write a good one. With all my heart and love I wish every single one of you a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year, as well as many more to come. May it be good to us all 🤍

Hello literally non existent people (i'm pretty sure no one is seeing these posts which is quite comforting tbh). I just had the weirdest experience with my bsf. We haven't spoken in a few months because she has been ill. she has also been a bit possessive over various kpop groups we both like (its dumb ik, but she was just constantly trying to one-up me in everything, whether it was pinterest boards, comments on insta posts, etc, (this didn't really bother me, but the next bit did) and recently she unfollowed me on literally every social media platform you could think of.) it was really fking weird. we met up today to talk about it and I kind of (?) have all my questions answered. i think we are on good terms and I think I handled it well. i won't go into the details because its personal, and I'm kind of scared she would see this even though she doesn't have tumblr lol, but I think I'm just gonna deal with it as it happens.

i'm meeting up with my other friends tomorrow and we are going to watch a horror film (that's what we always do together) and open the Christmas presents we got for each other, which we intended to give around xmas but we didn't make plans back then lmao. we also just gossip a lot bc we are all in different friendship groups so we can just dump everything to each other and it doesn't really matter. i love hanging out with them, though we only manage to meet up every two months haha.

another funny thing that happened was i got a voicemail notification from an unknown number. it was a recording of the felix 'wakey wakey' meme and I was actually terrified bc either my friend was pranking me or someone was stalking me haha. luckily it was the former option haha. she better prepare herself lol. i think I will send her a chan one bc he's her bias.

i have been listening to so much p1harmony recently, as well as skz. i love them both smmmmmm. i really want to get the Killin It album but I hate spending a lot of money at a time, so I'll wait a few months. currently watching the waterpark ep. of run bts rn which is banging as always. idk if I've already mentioned it but I really recommend guccitae.

back to school in three days, which I'm not mad about as I'm alright at school and I like seeing my friends. i started reading the book by Meiko Kawakami which is so good. I've almost finished my journal which feels weird too, but I'm excited. i got a new notebook for Christmas which will prob be my next one; exciting.
