Writing Patterns

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

I was tagged by @thotpuppy and @definitively-different-drivel. I can't keep track of who was already tagged, so if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagge!

I did this not long ago, but thanks to @februaryficletchallenge I've posted a lot of new works since then. This time I'm mixing it up and including WIPs. I skipped the 3 Sentence Ficathon collections, though. Reverse chronological order. Here goes!

Daromir walks through the Duchess of Tavorai's gardens, looking for Vana. sundial, Perilous Courts by Tavia Lark, Daromir Azri/Vana Dire, 389 words, T

Stiles stares at the ruins of the Hale house and reflects that he perhaps should have taken Deaton more seriously when he told him starting to practice magic would change how he saw the world. with lightning in his hands, Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski, wip with 9k posted, E

"Peter fucking Hale!" Stiles yells, pushing his way into Peter's apartment. pocket watch, Teen Wolf, Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski, 596 words, T

“You know what we haven’t done in a while?” Stiles says when they’re sprawled out on the bed, sheets a hopeless tangle. we don’t talk about that, Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, 100 words, T

Kaleb Krychek stands in front of his mirror and considers the fact that all of his previous assumptions about what he would do if it turned out he had a soulmate seem to have been washed away by the reality. a decision deferred, Psy-Changeling, Kaleb Krychek/Judd Lauren, 504 words, T

Derek stares at the wizened fairy in front of him—seriously, he had no idea they even aged—certain he'd misheard. You may now kiss the bride. Or the other groom. Teen Wolf, Allison Argent/Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, 651 words, T

Stiles would like to say he first realized his best friend had been turned into a werewolf because of his keen powers of observation and knowledge of both Scott and the supernatural world. devil don't take a break, Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, wip with 16k posted, E

Judd stands on the slope of the mountain that rises high above SnowDancer's caves and watches the light change as the sun rises. the creeping light of dawn, Psy-Changeling, Judd Lauren/Walker Lauren, 200 words, G

Patterns: Looks like I tend to either go for dialogue or what someone is doing. So much standing and staring.

[headcanonsandmore]

Honestly, one of the funniest parts of The Stormlight Archive is when, at the end of the second book, someone asks Kaladin which safe place he left the king in.  Kaladin grins a very knowing grin, and the book immediately jump-cuts to a bed-ridden King Elhokar being bossed into eating his food by the Lopen’s mum. 😂🤣

ROUND 1: PART 2

Propaganda under cut

Soren

● Soren is a gay-coded half dragon!! He devoted his life to the man who showed him that there was kindness in the world and stayed by his side, even with the knowledge that he'd outlive him because of his dragon heritage. In the Fire Emblem mobile game, he has a Valentine's Day-equivalent alternate outfit alongside Ike (the man he loves) and his family.

● He’s half dragon, a tactician, a mage, and very gay. He only trusts one person and that person is a man named Ike.

Like Soren is usually snippy towards most people but towards Ike? He becomes a lot nicer.

Wrathion

● Wrathion is a black dragon from Warcraft, and was the sole heir to his entire family/flight for a long time. In his early teen years, he was introduced to the prince of humans, Anduin Wrynn, and they hit it off with a lot of long dialogues - anything from philosophy to teenagers bickering. Their interactions were well perceived, to the point of one of the largest ships in the Warcraft fandom - to this day, over ten years later - is between the two guys. The writing team even was at odds with the popularity of the ship, to the point that Wrathion got whisked away from the story for years. They basically didn't know what to do with the dragon, now that he was so well known for being gay to their players. Thankfully, he did return, but with the writers still not really knowing how close to allow him with Anduin. Additionally, Wrathion is very dramatic and fashionable, along with Anduin's long-time struggle of being 'othered' for being pacifist in a world of constant war. Both have a lot of queer reasonings and headcanons, besides their popular ship

Top & Favorite Fics by Month - 2023

This is something I did last year and enjoyed putting together. Basically, it's my top fic by kudos in the month it's posted and my favorite. I've left out wips to make it more interesting. For me, anyway. I'm not tagging anyone, but I'd love to see this if other people do it. All the fics & summaries are after the cut. Happy New Year!

🔥 Top

💜 Favorite

January

🔥 graveyard: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 300 words, teen

“I wonder if it has anything to do with that graveyard by the lake,” Stiles muses. “You know, the one with the pentacles and shit.”

💜 midnight: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 100 words, teen

“He said it was due at midnight on the first but is that in five minutes or 24 hours and five minutes?”

February

🔥 💜 again: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 100 words, teen

“Witches took Derek!” Isaac’s panic is clear.

March

🔥 glitter: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 2,760 words, explicit

Stiles stared up at his ceiling, impressed and slightly horrified. “How did I get glitter there?” Someone sneezed explosively behind him, startling him so badly he fell out of his chair. “What the fuck?” He looked over, completely unsurprised to see that it was Derek standing near his window. “Oh no.” ~ In which Stiles accidentally showers Derek in glitter, but it all works out better than expected

💜 enough: The Hollows, Trent Kalamack/Rachel Morgan, 823 words, teen

And just like that, he found himself standing naked in his shower thinking about Rachel Morgan. Again. It would be demoralizing if he was the sort of man to let such things get to him. Or: The author reread Every Which Way But Dead and had the idea to write a fic about Trent jerking off in the shower,

April

🔥 💜 my heart was connected: Teen Wolf, Steterek, 11,329 words, explicit

“Derek, dude, relax. We’ve got this. We’re gonna Hallmark movie the shit out of this Christmas.” ~ Derek brings Stiles home to pretend to be his boyfriend and act as a buffer between him and Peter. That’s not exactly how it works out.

May

🔥 pie, chase, dysfunctional: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 100 words, gen

Stiles stood on the porch of the Hale house and watched the betas chase each other. “What did you do?”

💜 so we remain the same: The Hollows, Trent Kalamack/Rachel Morgan, 2,001 words, explicit

“You are the most infuriating woman I have ever met.” Trent tries to hold onto some semblance of his normal composure, he really does, but it’s hard to sound calm when Rachel insists on biting his lip and all he can think of is how good it feels and what a terrible idea this is. “Yeah, well, you have no morals.” ~ It’s just another night where Rachel is Trent’s security escort and has to save his life right up until it takes an unusual turn.

June

🔥 💜 be gay do crimes: Psy-Changeling, Aden Kai/Vasic Zen, 100 words, gen

“What does it mean?” Aden and Vasic stood in front of a wall spray painted with a rainbow flag and the words ‘be gay do crimes’.

July

🔥 electric, fire, plastic: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 100 words, teen

“I wonder if were-eels are a thing? Imagine being able to shift into an electric eel. What would the beta shift be like, though?”

💜 late, festive, wide: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 100 words, gen

“You’ve been planning this for a month?”

August

🔥 Fucking Witches, Man: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 1,228 words, explicit

Stiles’ phone rings at three in the morning on a Saturday night. It’s the full moon, so he really shouldn’t be surprised that it’s Derek. “Oh god, what now?” is the way he chooses to answer it. ~ A witch blows a mysterious powder all over Derek. I think we all know where this story’s going.

💜 until the Darkness takes us: Black Jewles, Daemon Sadi/Lucivar Yaslana, 3,837 words, explicit

Lucivar stands at the top of the tower outside SaDiablo Hall in Kaleer and looks at the stars. It’s been more than two centuries since he first got to this realm, but it still surprises him sometimes that the stars are the same. ~ Lucivar and Daemon’s relationship shifts and develops over time.

September

🔥 I'll Always Know It's You: The Hollows, Trent Kalamack/Rachel Morgan, 1,488 words, teen

Rachel really was talented with disguises. She appeared to be a brunette with a tan she would only ever achieve with an amulet. From a distance it looked like her eyes were dark and the shape of her face was completely changed. Trent still knew it was her. ~ Rachel shows up to a charity event looking like someone else. Trent wants to know why.

💜 sweater weather: Radiance Series, Evain Marha/Leth ka Tariel, 100 words, gen

“What are you doing?” Leth’s voice makes Evain jump and drop three stitches.

October

🔥 jump, brain, gaudy: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 100 words, gen

“There is a single tasteful rhinestone belt. That isn’t gaudy!”

💜 We Were Helping!: Perilous Courts, Daromir Azri/Vana Dire, Vana Dire & Bellamy Sandry, 1,857 words, teen

“When I said you know better than to play drinking games with a dragonrider, I didn’t mean you should switch to doing shots with a foreign prince who holds a grudge against you instead.” ~ Bellamy is still mad about Rakos’ kidnapping. Vana insists they were helping. Eventually, they come to an understanding.

November

🔥 I think I know a secret: Teen Wolf, Sterek, 3,319 words, explicit

“Oh man, bobbing for apples. I bet you killed at that game, what with the fangs and all,” Stiles exclaims, pulling Derek from his thoughts. “You could clean up at that.” ~ Stiles learns something unexpected about Derek during the fall festival.

💜 in the middle of the night, Teen Wolf, Sterek, 1,680 words, explicit

Stiles leans back against his pillows and hits play on his laptop. He made sure it’s sitting a careful distance away, on the other side of him than the lube. Cleaning lube out of a laptop keyboard is an absolute bitch—ask him how he knows. ~ Stiles is jerking off. Derek shows up. This works out very well for both of them.

December

🔥 Merry Christmas, indeed: Teen Wolf, Steterek, 2,229 words, explicit

Stiles has his hand wrapped around his cock when someone clears their throat. He assumes it’s Derek—he’s stretched out in his bed in the loft, after all. When he opens his eyes, though, it’s to see Peter leaning against the wall, smirking at him. ~ Stiles sneaks into Derek’s loft to surprise him on Christmas. The results exceed his wildest dreams.

💜 then, now, and forever: Radiance Series, Evain Marha/Leth ka Tariel, 3,083 words, explicit

It’s a dark and stormy night and Evain Marha sits contemplating his lover. ~ Nothing to see here but smut.

[wanderingchanneler]

I’m having thoughts about how Szeth followed the Oathstone for so long, then finally came to the realization that it really was just a rock, and how that could connect back to what little we know of his past so far. I still haven’t worked it out in my head quite right, so I’m sorry if this is inconherent

First, we know that Szeth followed the Oathstone for over seven years. For most of that time, he didn’t allow himself to entertain conscious questions about what he was doing. If he did, it would lead to a collapse of everything he’d held to so unwaveringly, which would lead to the end of his own personal world. Of course, that came to a head both times he fought Kaladin in Words of Radiance. Him realizing that he was never wrong was part of what ended their second fight.

In Oathbringer, Szeth has to consciously remind himself that he was never Truthless a few times. When he’s conflicted over what he should choose as his Third Skybreaker Ideal, Nightblood is actually the one that directs him to make the choice he does. The sword reminds Szeth of his years following the Oathstone, and Szeth starts to justify it by saying that he had no choice. Then he realizes that, ‘it had always been nothing more than a rock.’ So Szeth makes a decision other than the one Nale expected him to make, and swears himself to Dalinar instead.

In Rhythm of War, Szeth confronts Taravangian after Taravangian bates him by asking for an Oathstone. Szeth ignores most of what Taravangian tells and asks him, demanding to know why Taravangian wanted an Oathstone. At one point, Szeth says something like, “My stone…was only ever a stone.” He goes on to hint at something his father said in the past, but Taravangian interrupts by saying that Szeth’s father is dead.

I find two things interesting about that moment. First, this is the first time since that realization at the Battle of Thaylen Field that Szeth has verbally stated, on page, that his Oathstone was just a rock. True, he does tell Navani that he was never Truthless earlier on in RoW, but that verbal declaration still feels important, especially since Szeth says it to Taravangian, who played a large roll in making Szeth’s mental state even worse than it was before.

The second thing that interests me is that Szeth mentions his father, and (presumably) something he might have said about the Oathstone. In the reading of a Szeth flashback Brando did at NYCC, it seems that Szeth’s family doesn’t share Szeth’s level of commitment/devotion/adherence to the teachings of Stone Shamanism. They’re more willing to leave things up to interpretation/bend the prohibitions than Szeth is. So I wonder if at some point, Neturo tried to encourage Szeth to think of the Oathstone in a different way. We don’t know how long it took for Szeth to be named Truthless or what might have been involved in that process, so I can’t say much more about this. I’m just intrigued that Neturo might have had a different view on things. Whatever it might have been, we’ll have to wait for KOWT to be released before the pieces come together.

If I had a main point to make with this post, I don’t remember what it was. I’m just still trying to put what we know about Szeth’s past and Shin beliefs together to find answers that haven’t been revealed yet. I’m very curious to see how much of my speculation is in any way accurate when KOWT comes out

I should really listen to myself and stop trying to play the older Fire Emblem games or remakes of them, because they're clearly not my thing.

viBRAToryblurriness: First impressions of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, the DS remake of the very first game: it has zero charm and feels like a SNES game (derogatory) viBRAToryblurriness: Like not like a good one, like one of the mediocre ones you'd rent because it looked vaguely interesting from the box and then be stuck with it for a few days despite it not being particularly good, and now you know why it was still on the shelf and the one you were looking for wasn't viBRAToryblurriness: Yeah my Reddit dude, extremely bland dialogue in faux archaic English and character/place names that look like keysmashes are totally Shakespearian viBRAToryblurriness: I don't know how they basically traveled back in time a full decade in terms of presentation compared to the GBA games viBRAToryblurriness: The pixel art is mediocre at best bordering on bad, and the animations really are as bad as everyone said they are, which is a shame because the GBA ones had so much personality

For context, someone on Reddit recently was complaining about modern Fire Emblem and how Awakening is a dating sim and older games were Shakespearian. This is extremely funny to me both because they clearly have never read/seen any actual Shakespeare and because pairing up units for marriage/making child units originated way back on the SNES in Genealogy of the Holy War (or I guess Super Famicom since it never made it out of Japan).

At least in SoV I really liked the characters and art style and overall presentation pretty much immediately, and that kept me going into act 4 even if I wasn't really enjoying the gameplay that much, but after nearly an hour of this one I'm not into basically any of it. It's done pretty much nothing to win me over so far.

Should I go finally finish Path of Radiance already (which I technically never quite have even though I started playing it for the first time ~18 years ago) or just replay Engage? Yes, almost definitely. Will I actually go do that instead of continuing to subject myself to stuff I'm not enjoying? Eventually I hope, but apparently not quite yet.
