Ryoko Saotome for MotW

Okay, to be clear, this is a theory-crafting. Ryoko is a character I have a long history with and it would be better for me to further develop her as a piece of fiction (and have already done so). I might end up doing a character based on her at some point, but I'd likely rename them and take a slightly different tack. Otherwise it would be difficult to work around the pre-existing story she has in my mind.

Okay, so, now on to the particulars, going to avoid going into too much detail but as follows:

Outwardly very friendly and polite with clear anxiety issues and low self-esteem.

Only really happy when witnessing that her loved ones are happy or else she is sparring. Outside those two, she fakes it.

An expert in a martial art based on channeling external energies. Is confident in her abilities but finds her energy control sluggish.

Unknowingly trained in a single technique based on channeling internal energies when she was a child. This is why her control is sluggish. Internal and external practices typically interfere with each other.

The one technique she was trained regarding internal energies is deeply, deeply flawed. You would even say cursed. It converts the negative emotions into energy, but it also causes that emotion to dominate the person's life. She is a "Rider" specifically a "Fear Rider". She doesn't really know much about this, just traumatic memories of the training.

From about 12 years onward she was out of the "care" of her parents. (her father abandoned her because he botched a theft from a secret martial training society).

She learns exceedingly fast.

She was originally a character in a 3-year PbP freeform Ranma 1/2 next gen game. She's built as Ranma's much younger sister, but similarly abused by her parents.

She was later a main character in a Ranma/Naruto crossover fanfic written primarily as an exercise to develop her character further.

Outward personality would peg Ryoko as The Mundane which is by design a bit. Most people would overlook her as a threat and to be honest, unless you threaten someone, she's more likely to fight you to surrender or defeat and non-lethally as long as she's not been triggered.

However, she's very much a dangerous foe. Monstrous is a possibility, but that feels more like a later step in her story. At start, it doesn't have as much of a hold on her.

The Initiate is a possibility but my idea is that she didn't really get assimilated into the society that took her and her sister in. Her sister would be a more likely candidate for the Initiate. The idea was that the society/ninjas left her to self train because they realized she was skilled enough to do so and also was steeped in the wrong style of martial art (external vs internal) so they couldn't teach her.

The Wronged comes to mind, but she hasn't even processed fully that her parents deserve justice or vengeance.

While the Chosen and the Divine are very melee and tough oriented. Their stories aren't nearly right for this.

Exile isn't bad, she isn't ACTUALLY from another time, but she has been sheltered from normal life. But the story isn't about a nemesis or the impact one had on the world.

So, what I'm going to come down to is Hard Case.

Hard Knocks is Secret Martial Art obviously.

For moves. Let's see

Furnace. This is basic to all Hard Cases.

Weapon Master. Because she's a skilled martial artist.

Stone Cold. Yes, fear dominates her life, but because of the Rider technique, she remains tactically competent.

For rating line. This is hard. She's friendly, but often overlooked and not taken seriously because of her anxiety issues. So, Charm can be low.

Weird can be low even though she is technically skilled due to the conflict between the two active styles of magic in her. The idea would be that after learning about the mix, she would learn to balance them, and the Weird would go up.

Cool, despite her anxiety, would be okay because again, it doesn't usually affect her in a tactical situation.

Tough is always going to be high.

Sharp should also be decent, because she is very smart and observant, even if she's hesitant to speak up about what she sees. With that, I think I'm going for the first rating line.

Charm -1

Cool +1

Sharp +1

Tough +2

Weird +0

Weird Move is No Limits because she is primarily about enhanced physical ability. Her baseline is above human do to the magic in her system.

Her ally could be her younger sister, but I think instead it might be better to be one of the mystics/ninjas/whatever that took them in and took care of them until she was 18.

Gear, Ancient Sword comes with Secret Martial Art. First divergence from the baseline. Ryoko was specifically not skilled with swords because she was never properly trained. MotW doesn't really allow for this too much... but it would probably be used as an explanation for poor rolls. She DID have a bokken (wooden training sword) that I could reflavor the Ancient Sword into, but the crowbar with Innocuous works better for that. I think I'll leave this as an actual magical sword she hasn't felt worthy of using yet.

Other choices:

Bokken (Crowbar)

Big Knife

Ignoring the vehicle section

Thinking "Old monster hunting journals" which I'm replacing with novels and manga. Because she enjoys them and is able to draw useful insights from such things.

Eventually I'd use "Borrow a move from another playbook" to grab Preternatural Speed - because Ranma and Naruto roof-hopping shenanigans. Probably early.

Possibly I'd borrow "Breed" as well, which Michael Sands confirms can be borrowed. To get both a Curse and a Natural Attack, about when I wanted her curse to go into high drive. Alternately, I'd just go into Monstrous, but this lets me ease into that. Claws of the Beast might be another way to do that. And Invincible might be a good way to represent how agile a Ranma-esque martial artist is.

So, the final starting character looks like this:

Charm -1

Cool +1

Sharp +1

Tough +2

Weird +0

Moves: No Limits, Furnace, Secret Martial Art, Weapon Master, Stone Cold

Gear: Ancient Sword (2-harm hand balanced valuable holy), Bokken (2-harm hand messy innocuous), Big Knife (1-harm hand), Action/Adventure Novels and Manga

How to Handle Critique

I’ve got to admit, I wish I was one of those beatific saints that could take critique with a grateful smile. Instead, I am constantly suppressing a horrible little gremlin at the back of my head hissing at anything from legit plot critiques to grammar corrections. I’m well aware I used that comma wrong, GOD.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m very good at suppressing that gremlin, but the little bastard is still there. He exists because even though your brain knows critique can help, it also knows you worked damn hard on the thing being critiqued, and goddamnit, isn’t that enough???

Anyway, here are some tips on getting that gremlin to shut the hell up.

It is okay to be upset. You worked really hard on this thing, and now someone’s gone and pointed out all the things that suck about it. You cannot control how you feel about one thing or another, but you can allow yourself to feel that way and let it pass through you. Let your critique partner you’re taking time to reflect on it, and go for a walk. Do something else. Let those feelings pass through you before you get back to the page.

Give yourself time. Don’t feel like you need to correct things right away (unless they are minimal grammar tweaks). Some pieces of feedback might take awhile to sink in, especially when you’ve got a whole novel to wrestle through. Set it aside, think about something else for a week or so, and get back to it when you’ve reset.

Get a second opinion and/or ducky friend. It can be very hard to tell the difference between good and bad feedback sometimes. Someone who means very well could give feedback that just doesn’t work for you, and someone who doesn’t give two shits could have spotted that fatal flaw right away. You can bring in a real third party or just make use of the old rubber duck technique, where you talk through the issue with a friend or a Naruto poster telling you to Believe it. Working it out out-loud is a really effective technique to figure out what needs fixing and what doesn’t.

Guide critique-givers toward the feedback you want. I, a person who prefers straightforward fantasy and sci-fi, cannot give the fine-tooth points on how a romance novel should work. However, I can give feedback on what works for me and what doesn’t story-wise. Giving your beta reader or critique partner a list of questions to look for will help avoid vague feedback based on how they don’t like the genre. There are many ways to do this, but consider using the following as a base to tailor your own questions:

Did you get a good sense of the setting? Did the worldbuilding make sense to you?

Was this story clear? Where there any parts that seemed confusing?

What characters did you like and why? What characters didn’t you like?

Did any parts of the story feel slow or repetitive?

Did the beginning draw you in? Did the middle keep you engaged? Did the ending feel satisfying?

If you were to write [insert plot point here], what would you do differently?

Again, all of the above questions are up for debate depending on your goal, but we are rarely taught how to give good feedback, and a guided feedback session would work better for you than a free-for-all.

Figure out what kind of advice doesn’t work for you. It is really hard to give good feedback sometimes, even with guided questions. It can also be really hard to figure out why some feedback doesn’t click with you, and that’s a matter of digging deep to figure out what you really want. You may lean toward characters who are horrible fuck-ups, but your partner prefers more steady characters who always strive to do the right thing. Your characters, therefore, may never click with this person, no matter how much they want to help you. And that’s okay! Figuring out where your critique partner is coming from can help you figure out what parts of their feedback isn’t working for you. Sometimes the only thing you can do is thank them and move on, but you might also want to guide them to focus more on the plot or the worldbuilding when looking at your work.

And last, don’t focus on grammar. It’s great if they point that out, but if you end up changing everything, trying to fix that first is a waste of your time. Grammar tweaks last, plot points first.

And, I dunno, give yourself a treat to get that horrible little mind gremlin something else to focus on. Sometimes patting those bad feelings on the head and sending them away can help way more than ignoring them.

#writing feedback #writing advice #telling yourself this feels bad and I don't like it is okay!#even if you asked for that advice it can still hurt!#just let it pass and you'll be okay

Over the last week, I decided to go ahead with bookmarking all the fics I've recommended over the years on AO3 since I abide by tumblr poll results always (and man pour one out for all the fic that never made it to AO3 or has since been deleted, sooooo many gems lost to time!) and it was a bit more than the ~3,000 I was expecting:

Hopefully, this will be easier than browsing the hundreds of recs posts I've made, since you can filter for any of the author's tags now! These are mostly focused on Star Wars and DC fandom, but I did my time in the anime mines and occasional tours through some TV fandoms or movies. You can dig into everything unfiltered and start your own filtering, or the bigger fandoms you'll find:

MAJOR FANDOMS: Each of these should have 100+ at minimum and, in the case of Star Wars, literally almost half of them are in that fandom. Look, Star Wars fandom might be a trash fire in a lot of ways, but it is ON FIRE with some good fic. (Older bookmarks not guaranteed to match my current sentiments, especially re: the Jedi, but they did catch my fancy at that point in time!)

STAR WARS: - All Star Wars -OR- All Star Wars minus the Obi-Wan/Anakin ship - OR- Nothing BUT Obi-Wan/Anakin

BATMAN/DC: - DC can sometimes be tricky, but you can do a Batman* search and get most of them (though, sometimes Nightwing* or Young Justice* or Superman* will catch some of the others). Honestly, though, you might want to just do a search for what character or dynamic you like and have fun from there, because otherwise you're getting a face full of my Dick Grayson Is The Center Of The Universe And I'm Making That Everyone Else's Problem agenda. ;)

MARVEL/MCU: - Marvel* will probably get most of the various properties, though you may want to filter for Defenders* or Guardians of the Galaxy* if you're interested -OR- Marvel* without the Thor/Loki - These focus a lot on the Thor* fandom if you want to witness the results of like 8 years of constant voracious reading in that fandom (Minus the ship), because, seriously, I read a LOT of Odinson family fic. - Bonus, just do a search for Maximoff* to find some really good X-Men: First Class-verse because, listen, I have been ALL ABOUT the Maximoff twins since long before the movies or MCU brought them over and I will DIE ON THE HILL of "Marvel, make Magneto their bio-dad again or I'm never reading another comic of yours ever".

TOLKIEN/LORD OF THE RINGS/SILMARILLION/HOBBIT: - Tolkien* -OR- Hobbit* -OR- Lord of the Rings* searches will turn up most of my Elf-hunting, I primarily focus on the Sindar Elves, but look I can't resist my problematic Feanorian faves or that I will die on the hill that Fingolfin is the best ever. (You have NO IDEA how sad I am that so much fic on Stories of Arda or FFNET is not easily bookmarked on AO3, sob. I externally bookmarked a few of the bigger ones, but sooo many shorter faves are missing from my recs tag.)

CLAMP: - X/Tokyo Babylon legitimately bums me out because it's not a huge fandom and yet so much of what was written was pre-AO3 and lost when CLAMPesque went down or was never brought over from Livejournal, yet this fandom (well, the Seishirou/Subaru pairing) still burns brightly in my heart.

BOOKS: Chrestomanci | Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

DRAMAS: Nirvana in Fire | The Untamed -OR- Modao Zu Shi

VIDEO GAMES: Dragon Age: Inquisition | Final Fantasy 8 | Genshin Impact | Okami

BANDS: Arashi

All right, whew, that was actually a fun project, despite how much work it was to hunt down a lot of older faves to see if they were on AO3, hopefully you'll find this useful!

Fanfic you ve been reading recently? Love your tastes btw!

:) You sent this months ago, but here are the fics that I've been reading recently, like this August/September:

"The Mission" by Lunawrayth - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. It wasn't that Hinata never expected to work with Naruto, just never on a mission quite like this.

-I check this one for updates so often. at least once a week, but more like multiple times a week.

"thus a silenced memory" by @keroppri - Rated T, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Eight years flown on by and Naruto makes his return to the city where he once fell in love, only for him to leave hollow and broken after she was persuaded to leave him. Plagued by her memory at every corner, a chance meeting changes fates, minds, and hearts. Thus he tries to silence the memories. Inspired and based on Jane Austen's Persuasion.

-ahhh loving the yearning angst of unrequited love (but it's actually requited) in this fic.

"Amaranthine" by @opttagoyeo - Rated T, Various AU, Series of unrelated one-shots. A few drabbles/ideas ranging from fluff, confusing, humor, and angst regarding the most iconic and popular canon couple of Konohagakure, Naruhina.

-just started reading this! Full of cuteness.

"After Office Hours" by Pandora_Imperatrix - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Naruto is lonely after Sakura and Sasuke left the village to travel together, he keeps leaving the office later and later, things start to change after one night when his secretary Hinata and him share a couple of vending machine beers. In this AU Naruto becomes Hokage a lot earlier than in the manga and The Last never happened.

-It's been years since this was updated, and recently Pandora updated and just finished it!!!!!!

"Friends with benefits" by @pastillesch - Rated T, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. "I'm dumping you" --Naruto blinked once. Twice. "But we're not even together". It was more a stress relief than anything romantic, really. A hobby one would say. And now it was time to search for a new hobby. Or at least a new partner for this kind of hobby.

-Another one that I was super excited to see updated again!!!!

"Casual Touches" by Lunawrayth - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. It's the casual touches that do it.

-Since I'm really feeling Luna's style, I checked out this story, too, and it's super cute. Love it.

"Fairy Tale" from "NaruHina Erotica Oneshots" by @makuro767 - Rated E, Fantasy AU, Two-shot. Naruto moved to an old family home to start anew and found an unlikely existence in his backyard...

-I am a total sucker for this type of size difference au. Like, it's just such a weird trope. It's just so weird. I love it. Makuro767 does a wonderful job with it!

"Love Is Not A Cage" by @nightowl27-writer - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. When Naruto comes back to his senses after the battle with Pein, the first thing he remembers are those baffling words she said just before she nearly died for him, and he NEEDS to hear them again. Will the truth set them free? Or are some confessions too much for the soul?

-that recent update killed me. In a good way. but oh man.

"Hinata (Mirror, Mirror)" from "Chicken Ramen for the Pervert's Soul" by @wickermayne - Rated E, Canon-Compliant, One-shot. Naruto rolled his eyes at the purchase asking why she needed it and complained about how much room it took up, but Hinata enjoyed modeling different dresses in front of it, loved how it let her see all the many different angles. And that seemed to keep Naruto quiet enough about the mirror.

-🙊🙈🔥

So, I guess it's been months since I worked on this list. Because it's nearing the end of March 2024 now. And up at the top, apparently I was last working on this list in September 2023. And at that time, it had been "months" since the asker sent this. Well, here's the ones I've been reading recently:

"clash of possession - naruhina" by @powerful-niya - Rated E, Yakuza AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. In the heart of the yakuza underworld of Tokyo, the passing of Hiashi, the leader of the Hyūga clan, does more than just break Hinata's heart, but it exposes her to vulnerability. Seizing the opportunity, the ruthless Naruto, Uzumaki clan leader, targets not only the conquest of the Hyūga clan but also wishes to claim Hinata as his most prized possession, no matter the cost.

-It's been awhile since I read an irredeemable Naruto, and Niya's not lying when she calls the characterization ruthless!!

"Prey" by @sessakag - Rated E, Modern/Gangs AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Following a midnight chance encounter with Hinata Hyuuga, a smitten sociopath, Naruto Uzumaki, tries his hand at romance, determined to make her fall in love with him the only way he knows how.

-it's the mystery of Hinata's background that really fuels this piece for me. Icing on the cake is Naruto as a wonderfully sexy and dangerous stranger and the sexual tension between them that is absolutely exquisite.

"Paper Rings" by Its_Levioooosaa - Rated E, College/Soulmates AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. In a world where soulmates are found after a touch and after a brief moment of pain, resulting in a red loop circling the first knuckle of each person's pinky finger. Fating the two people together and leaving it up to them to decide what their relationship will be. Hinata had just stopped at her friends for a piece of pizza, little did she know that she'd be leaving with a soulmate.

-It's a cute premise and I can't wait to see what happens next! I love a good soulmate AU!

"Wanting More Than A Poolside View" by @bunny-hoodlum - Rated E, High School AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Just a Sukumizu fetish scenario where Hinata is the target of a panty thief and recruits Naruto to investigate himself.

-I've been loving all of Bunny's updates this year, but I'm really hoping for an update on this one....or Narutoland haha, but I dunno what it is about High School NaruHina and their immaturity, it's just so fun!

Kay, that's all. If I don't post this now, I never will lol.

could I request itachi,sasuke,hashirama,neji,obito, madara,naruto,tsunade,minato, with a darling who has baby fever?Thank you ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Only two weeks remain until I have finally my 6 weeks holidays and I can't wait! Also, since I am so fucking used to having Tobirama im such requests as well, I accidentally wrote for him as well. So have a bonus I guess!

Baby fever

Madara Uchiha

🌑Madara is going to feel quite smug about it once he figured out what the hell is going on with his s/o. Emotionally he has a lot of sharp edges but he is a skilled observer. The way you stare at every toddler you find in the Uchiha compound or your almost jealous and upset reaction when you hear news of someone being pregnant don’t just fly above his head. He needs a heir as the head of the Uchiha and if his s/o is in any position to be able to give birth to a baby, there is this pressure from the side of the eldest. It isn’t only for traditional reasons to have a heir that Madara finds himself rather satisfied with your new passion of wanting a baby.

🌑He sees it as a good way of tying his darling completely down to his side by having them bear his child. At the same time there’s this undeniable swell of pride in his chest upon thinking that he can raise his own children and teach them everything he knows together with you. He’ll end up teasing you relentlessly for it with a slick grin on his face by saying that you’d only have to ask him if you really want a baby. You both know that he’s dead serious when he tells you that. It might not be something you’d expect but he actually ends up preparing quite a lot beforehand. Once he knows his s/o wants a kid, he won’t take long to fulfill them their wish.

Hashirama Senju

🌳Hashirama is ecstatic upon discovering that you yearn for children as much as he does. His whole clan problems with the elders demanding a heir as well, he is a family guy. A genuine wish to start a family with you, a fantasy he’s entertained quite a lot. He’d never force you to but he’d really die to have a lovely child with you which is why he becomes absolutely giddy when you actually do want a baby. Hashi expresses his joy very openly, ends up babbling about it in front of his younger brother. Suddenly he’s brainstorming possible names and even more fantasies of a family with you during his work.

🌳In short, he gets infected with your baby fever to the point where it takes up a lot of his mind. You two suddenly talk together about how your own kid might be whenever you two see parents with their children and suddenly find yourselves more often in front of shops that sell baby clothes, pointing out how cute certain outfits look. Hashirama’s clan hears the news and is satisfied as well since all expect to receive news of darling’s pregnancy soon, especially looking on how Hashirama has already started to buy stuff out of his inability to contain his excitement. He wants to give his baby a happy life in the village he built.

Tobirama Senju

🌊Whilst family is important to him, Tobirama’s never feels a need to have a family of his own with his darling anytime soon. He feels uncertain how to feel when he notices the excessive signs of his s/o wishing for a child of their own. Maybe it is just a phrase which is why he decides to ignore it for now. Even if his brother is bothering him with it and his clan shows an interest as well. It isn’t until you talk to him that he can’t ignore it any longer and decides to sit down with you. His uncertainty about having a child aside, he wants to make sure for now how genuine you are and how much you gave the idea thought. Raising a baby is a big responsibility after all.

🌊He’s incredibly flustered if you should be as direct as to say that you want a baby with him, genuinely. It is a sign for him that you sincerely love him since you would be pregnant with his child and raise it together with him. He gives it some serious thought though, weighting all pros and cons since he wants to be really sure about this decision. He ignore his brother’s prominent wishes to have a nephew. Tobirama isn’t opposed to the idea of having a child so once you two have talked everything over, he’d be willing to try. He’s cautious and careful though so he as well puts a lot of importance into preparations.

Tsunade Senju

🐌She’d make without a doubt a great mum and it isn’t like the thought of raising a baby with her s/o has never crossed her mind. Tsunade as a medic knows better than many of all illnesses and the toll a pregnancy can take on someone. She’s also a bit paranoid, fears for the little life whenever the thought crosses her mind. The lady seems to suspect your problem soon and there is a simultaneous feeling of giddy anticipation and frightful worry inside of her. There is nevertheless a feeling of joy when you admit that you’ve been wanting a child desperately since a while. Tsuna would be fine with adopting a baby as well, there are a lot of orphans out there after all.

🐌Creating a baby via artificial ways isn’t a problem either. If her darling can bear a child she might even invent a way for both of them to be biological parents of the fetus, if that hasn’t been done in her time yet that is. The Hokage still wants to have a small discussion with you about the topic of children since she as well knows how big of a responsibility a little baby is. If that all has been cleared, she starts preparing everything for the surgery, sticks her nose into books to collect every little information and appears oddly giddy and nervous during the days before the test-tube fertilization.

Minato Namikaze

⚡️The Fourth Hokage is not opposed at all to the idea of starting a family with his darling when the time is right. Truth be told, he adores the idea of raising a child or two together with you quite a lot. Obviously he’d never force his s/o into being pregnant with his baby but they probably do know that he is a small family man. As shrewd as he is, it won’t take exactly long for him to figure out the reason why you’ve been so oddly upset since a while ago. Stopping sometimes at baby stores to gaze at everything inside or watching with envy when seeing parents with their kids.

⚡️Kushina might have hinted your wishes at him at one point just as much since she’s equally close to both of you. He’s happy as soon as he knows, waits for you to talk with him though and in the meantime he’ll probably just tease you a bit about your sudden want for a child. When you do tell him, he has a jovial and gentle smile on his face, tells you that he would be really happy to have a child with you after enough preparation and planning. Minato keeps his excitement at least at bay but as soon as Kushina hears that his s/o and him plan to have a baby soon, she is thrown into a baby fever as well, thrilled about being an aunt for the baby.

Obito Uchiha

🔥Obito finds himself somewhat torn apart when his darling tells him the reason why they’ve been so upset since a longer while now. Something that has been worrying him quite much which is why he probably forced them to tell him the answer. On the one hand he just would like to die out of happiness on the spot. It’s probably been a old fantasy of his to start with the love of his life a family at one point in his life. Back then that person used to be Rin and now it is you. On the other hand, despite his delusions, he is aware that the life he is living is not something he’d want a child to life in. What if he isn’t a good father?

🔥His expression with his wide eyes demonstrates his feelings perfectly and instead of saying anything, he just embraces his darling. He does not know how to react otherwise so he just clutches onto his s/o tightly with his confused emotions. The following days he is constantly dreaming of a cute and perfect child running around in the house before he snaps out of his daydreams and feels the dread and paranoia returning once again. It’s a little bit like a push and pull game but it is highly likely that his s/o can convince him if they really want to.

Itachi Uchiha

🍡He avoids getting lost in any fantasies of having a family and loving a domestic life with his partner simply because he feels like it isn’t possible. It’s true that he cannot completely suppress his thoughts about it all the time, especially once you enter his life. It’s a logical decision in the end though. There are too much uncertainties and even insecurities regarding that topic. How could he ever raise a child a normal way if he is the one who murdered his entire clan and is a wanted criminal? He could die any day, has to leave for his missions in the Akatsuki and would have to restrict the freedom of the child as much as yours for safety.

🍡He notes with concern your sudden baby fever but decides to ignore it in hopes of it only being a phase that will end eventually. Itachi feels maybe honored when you eventually talk to him about your wish since you want a baby from him and raise it with him. He rejects your wish though and tries to reason with you why exactly this wouldn’t be a good idea. It isn’t like he doesn’t wish for a future like you envision it but you have to think logically about it as well like he does. Itachi will probably end up disappointing and saddening his s/o and honestly, the same applies to him but he just keeps on telling himself that it’s the best.

Neji Hyuga

🕊Undeniably Neji dreams of having a child with his s/o, born out of love for each other and a proof of your bond, after marriage that is. He usually keeps himself composed and doesn’t count as a person who’d ever force himself on you yet sometimes it just happens. Moments where he starts whispering to you in a fond voice about his dreams of having a child with you and protect and love both of you until his heart stops beating. The mere thought has him sometimes just melting, there is little doubt that he suffers from his own baby fever. Sometimes more and sometimes less obvious.

🕊When his darling suddenly starts having the strong wish to have a baby, his heart is fluttering in his chest and he plans to talk with you about it as soon as possible. There is little denial that you and him will start dreaming about a family now and when you two are alone you often end up talking about the future with a baby. Neji is quite fierce about arranging certain things already, especially the fact that he does not want his baby to be marked with the same seal he was as a baby. He also seems to turn already slightly more protective, desires to be with you more.

Naruto Uzumaki

🍜It’s definitely one of Naruto’s bigger dreams to eventually have a family with you and have children. His own childhood was a lonely and rejected one, he was an orphan after all. He has met his parents though and knows how much they love him and he wants to give the same love to his own children and give them a happy childhood. The Uzumaki is vocal about his wishes as well, he’s mentioned it already that he’d love to have a child or two with his darling. He’s probably somewhat slower to figure out all the signs but when he finds out, he’s breaking out in a big smile.

🍜Everyone he counts as a friend gets their ears talked off by him because he absolutely can not hold his excitement in. Naruto is just so incredibly giddy now that he is aware that the wish for a baby is mutual. Every parents he sees, he envisions himself and his darling with their adorable child even more and his s/o falls victim to his excited rambles too. He makes plans about what he wants to do with his child together and already begs Sakura and Tsunade to be the ones to look out after you and the baby once you two are officially awaiting a child. He’s already dubbed Sakura as an aunt for his baby and Sasuke as an uncle.

Sasuke Uchiha

💙He’s probably the one guy in here who wants a family but keeps for the most part quiet about it. He’s the last one from his clan and most likely too prideful to let his clan vanish together with him. It’s also a rather efficient method to tie his darling a bit better down and give them a reminder to why they can’t leave him. He’s ready to push his s/o into having at least one child with him, still too caught up in the past to completely let his clan be forgotten and eliminated just like that. Sasuke has grown fond of the idea of being the provider of his family with his darling as the attentive parent of the child.

💙He has the same vibe going on as Madara when he is being informed about your recent desires to have a child of your own. Safe to say Sasuke will never let you forget about it, especially if you used to dislike him at one point yet now want a baby which only he can give you. It wouldn’t be very clever to try it with someone else after all, Sasuke would either nearly kill them or really kill them. There is a warm sensation in his heart though if you want the child to be his since it means that you at least love him enough to be willing to have his baby. He starts searching for a place where you two can stay once you are awaiting his child already.

AO3 tag game :3

thanks so much for the tag @mvshortcut !!!!! much appreciated, this was a blast to fill out :D

How many works do you have on AO3?

86! Damn, that's more than I remember 🙀 I have been writing pretty fervently since I was pretty young, though, and I transferred all my old fics from fanfiction dot net to AO3, so it's a long stretch of time. All my old wattpad fics are still rotting somewhere though lmaooo I can't even access them anymore bc I forgot my password and I can't reset it bc I used a school email 😔

What's your total AO3 word count?

443,734! When I get to half a million I'm gonna have to throw myself a party. With boba and everything

How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

Oof, okay, here we go. A lot of the fandoms I have tagged on AO3 don't really "count" because they're just aggregate tags for the same fandom, so even though AO3 says the number is 48, I'm gonna count the TRUE number as 17. (It got cut down so much because of how many video game series have different games with different fandom tags on AO3, lmao)

Here's the breakdown of the list:

Persona (Mostly Persona 3)

Fire Emblem (Mostly Shadow Dragon and Blazing Sword)

Legend of Zelda

Pokemon

Professor Layton

RWBY

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Earthbound/MOTHER

Red vs. Blue

Voltron Legendary Defender

Naruto

Final Fantasy XV

Harvest Moon

The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Avengers

Animal Crossing

Care Bears (despite having never actually consumed any Care Bears media to my knowledge)

The worst part is that this stupid list would be much, much, MUCH longer if I finished even a quarter of my WIPs 😭 Hell, even just my "Video Games" subfolder in my "Fanfiction" subfolder has more than 17 subfolders in it...

Y'all don't understand how many random fics my ADHD spares you from ever seeing I have no focus

Top five fics by kudos:

Ash and Emotion (Zelda) - Not surprising, I knew this was my most popular fic. It was for a ZeLink zine full of beautiful work :)

Resemblance (Naruto) - bro I always forget people really liked this one. Literally an unedited drabble I did in an hour for a "pride month drabble challenge" which I immediately abandoned. Trans rights I guess

Always Wanna Play (But You Never Wanna Lose) (Persona 3) - This one isn't surprising either, and I'm very proud of this fic so I'm quite chuffed to see it get so much attention... thanks everyone :')

The Beat of Your Heart (Zelda) - Now this one surprised me a lot. This was just a little piece for ZeLink week... Another unedited one, I literally was writing it on the toilet in church so I could get it out in time 😭

Comfort (Zelda) - Another ZeLink week piece, but I knew this one was popular. Also unedited, lmao. I was writing it on the day of my AP Calc finals and I rushed through the exam so I could have more time to work on the fic 😭 I made some Choices that year

Do you respond to comments?

I try to! But I get very anxious about it and tend to work myself into a tizzy, so I often put it off for later and then forget, haha. Then I'll go and respond to all my comments from the last few months and feel even weirder about it... T_T

What's the fic with the angstiest ending you've ever written?

Oof. That's... a hard one, haha. I've written a couple of fics without happy endings, though I typically don't. At least three fics which end on a canonical character death, for instance. But I'd say the ending which made me the most emo writing was Butter, a Mother 3 fic. It ends with Lucas, who's like 9, recently lost his mother, then lost his twin brother (and thinks it's his fault), and is now being neglected by his father, crawling into bed and crying. So yeah, pretty bleak, lmao... but at least he doesn't die I guess?

Do you write crossovers?

I do, but I haven't posted many yet. I'm not always huge on writing them, but I do think about them a lot. I was working on this one Persona 3 x Fire Emblem Awakening crossover but I lost steam on it, and now there's a really lovely crossover on AO3 with a similar premise that I was SO delighted to come across!!! Hope y'all don't mind me taking a break from linking my own work to shill for this one, hehe

Have you ever gotten hate on a fic?

Unfortunately, yes, about six times, I'd say. Even more unfortunately, most of those times happened earlier on in my fanfic writing career, and I was pretty sensitive to hate back then, so I deleted many of the relevant fics, and some of them I don't even have access to myself anymore.

Not gonna talk about the ones that are still upsetting, but I will talk about the funny examples: on a (since deleted) RWBY fic, I said in the author's note that I "wrote them as platonic, but the fic can be read as WhiteRose", and then I got a glowing comment gushing about how good the story was which ended with "but then you had to ruin it by shitting all over WhiteRose, how about you [long suicide bait]". Third most baffling comment I've ever received.

The two most baffling were on different fics, but both were making the same weird accusation??? One was on a ZeLink fic (actually, on Comfort, my fifth most kudos'ed fic of all time now), and y'know I think I'm just gonna show you the comment in question:

The other one was on a long-since deleted fic which focused on both a romantic ship, as well as a fatherly relationship between one member of the ship and the other member's father. I guess having a fatherly relationship with your father-in-law makes your boyfriend actually your brother (and therefore you can't date him anymore). IDK man people are crazy. (tbf the commenter in question thought I was setting it up so that he'd get adopted by his boyfriend's parents, which would give them more of a case, but like... that didn't happen in the fic and wasn't going to. they just guessed at a future plot development and got angry about their guess)

Do you write smut?

I do, but I've never posted any. I've posted one fic that was very suggestive, I'd even call it "NSFW" in a sense, but never anything explicit. Maybe I will in the future? We'll see if I can ever finish anything smutty, lmao.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yep, I had Ultimatum, my longest chapter-fic (and by far my most popular fic in the ff.n days) stolen and posted on another site by somebody. I reported it but never checked back up to see if it got taken down.

I also feel that I've had my work plagiarized pretty damn blatantly in another fandom (I was browsing a certain AU tag and read one which contained all the exact events and sometimes word-for-word dialogue from a fic of mine, just very very slightly rewritten) but the poster had no other works and their writing was definitely extremely juvenile, so... I figured they were a dumb kid and just decided not to raise a fuss. Checked back later and they deleted it, hopefully because they realized they shouldn't do that, so I figure there's no need to start shit over it. Honestly, if that person used that experience as a jumping-off point to write their own fics, then I'm glad it happened, imitation being the highest form of flattery and all.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, though I had someone reach out to me on fanfiction dot net a long time ago and ask permission to translate An Unheard Goodbye, which was super exciting! I agreed, but I don't believe they ever got around to it, or if they did, they never posted it. Still very flattering, and I think about that a lot, hehe.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

HOW COULD I POSSIBLY ANSWER THIS. UM. UM UH. UHHH UM UH I. UM.

I'm.... gonna say Zelda/Link? I haven't written it in FOREVER but it was such a huge part of me coming into my own as a fanfic author, so I have to give it credit for that.

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

.......all of them 😭 god I have so many of these damn things. But for the prime example, I'd point to Ultimatum, an old Pokemon fic that I started in middle school. I got all the way to the climax and I feel bad leaving my readers hanging, but... at this point, if I did continue it, I would honestly have to rewrite the whole fic first just to be in line with my current understanding of the characters.

What are your writing strengths?

Y'know, I think I get character voices down extremely well in a way which elevates my dialogue and narration. That's probably the thing I'm most proud of in my own writing, at least.

What are your writing weaknesses?

BREVITY. Or the utter, glaring lack of it. I have also been known to muddy up my writing with an overabundance of A) adverbs, B) unneeded clauses tacked onto perfectly good sentences, and C) em-dashes 😭

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fics?

I think it's dope as fuck, but I currently can't really accomplish it because I'm monolingual (NOT FOR LONG IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, I'M COMING FOR YOU, JAPANESE FLUENCY!!!!). I will also say that I don't like when authors will write characters having a story-important conversation in another language, then put the translations in the end notes or something, requiring you to either read the chapter confused or else keep scrolling back down and back up.... I think even that's totally fine to do if what's being said isn't plot-relevant, though.

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Naruto. I hadn't read or watched Naruto btw, I had only read other Naruto fanfics. I have spoken on this topic many times, but it remains hilarious to me. Also, so many of my old Naruto fics are lost to the Wattpad times, but I will take this opportunity to once again share a quote which I recently managed to unearth from my long-lost unsung magnum opus:

Never ever will I intentionally attain the level of comedy gold that I managed while writing completely dead serious Naruto fanfiction on Wattpad in 2012.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written so far?

See above. How could I ever top that fic.

In all seriousness, this question always makes me sweat, but I think I'm gonna say Oil, a slightly older fic from my EliHec days which I absolutely obsessed over for months before finally managing to finish. And, unlike most of the fics that I obsess over, I think the obsession actually made it come out better rather than worse, haha.

thanks again for the tag!!!! as for me, I'll tag uhh, hm, @wizard-finix @dreamedge @misty-wisp @flyfish1999 and any other AO3 writers who see this!!! (idk how many of you use AO3 and most of the MBS authors I know have probably already been tagged hehe but anybody who wants to should absolutely feel free!!!!!!!)

#Lee Speaks #tag game #god this is long. i love ranting about my writing thank you again for the tag
