#tag asks

[heathersgameoftag]

hey can i ask what unkempt garden is and how it relates to tag?

hello!!!

unkempt garden is essentially what will be the remake of tag. i've had it in the works for a while (but put it to the side to finish another book off first) but basically its just tag but with characters i can call my own. this means i wont have the limitations of fanfiction with the story itself. actually, writing this now makes me realise a lot of people might not know the main changes i've made to unkempt garden so have a little treat!!!

-unkempt garden is set in wales, UK. they live in a fictional rural town in north wales, surrounded by farms, woodland and really tall hills!!!

-due to the way school works here, this means the dynamics and backstories are slightly different. for those unaware, there's no middle school here, just primary school and secondary school! sometimes sixth form (junior and senior year) is split off into sixth form colleges, but in this case the sixth form campus is still connected to the same secondary school they all grew up in.

-its modern day! so phones exist, as do different perceptions on lgbt+ people. i'm still figuring out how to adapt the lgbt+ conflicts of tag into modern day.

-i changed rose (heather chandler's updated self) a lot. she'll still be the same lovable toxic girl-liker but i have switched up bits about her that im no longer happy with.

-same with rowan (jd). he's still basically the same but i have added more to him.

-none of the main cast other than rose is cis and i think thats really funny.

Writer Asks

This was fun, thank you @demonscantgothere and tagging @galbrand, @tmwillson3, @jhalya, @myfavouritelunatic, @thrillofhope and anyone else who wants to do it!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Eight (for now...)

2. What's your total A03 words count?

568,161.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I am writing exclusively for the Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power fandom and incorporating significant lore from the broader Tolkien Legendarium (LOTR, Hobbit, Silm, Unfinished Tales, etc.).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

(596) That Which Lies Across the Sea (WIP): Fourth Age Mairon x Galadriel. Sauron/Mairon redemption arc taking him and Galadriel through the Dagor Dagorath and beyond to Arda Unmarred. It's a long tale!

(195) Autocorrelation (WIP): missing Haladriel scenes during TROP.

(136) Aftermath (WIP): Second and Third Age vignettes. Saurondriel plus other stories like where was Celeborn? And a little sprinkle of Celrond. Set after TROP with lore from LOTR and Unfinished Tales.

(82) Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Duplicity (WIP): Mairon's time as a double agent with the elves in Valinor before Morgoth is released from captivity. Character study vignettes with some one-sided pining for a young Artanis.

(82) Land of Enchantment: my first AU! This is a bit of dark fic with a much darker sequel but just watch me make it an HEA (of sorts). Haladriel / Saurondriel.

Note that the first four are part of my Use Well the Days series which is all canon compliant according to my own interpretation of Tolkien's works and The Rings of Power series.

(And more below the cut! Trying to avoid an overlong post for you scrollers)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! Every single one is special to me.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ah, well, I only have two finished fics so that would have to be Land of Enchantment which has a bit of a crushing epilogue, later explained and expanded on in the sequel.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

My fic for a funny smutty term challenge: Sunny Days Chasing the Clouds Away It is a fluffy and feel good Haladriel one-shot!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully, no. I tagged everything I could think of up front on Kingdom of Rust because the first four chapters are rough. I'm hoping that prevents any hate.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes I do! There is noncon/dubcon in Land of Enchantment, Kingdom of Rust, and Marring of Mairon but generally my smut is consensual and ranges from fluffy to mildly kinky.

I like to write extremely visceral smut that does not leave a lot to the imagination. So far there is a little M-M and a lot of M-F.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Nope! At least not yet.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Sort of. The first chapter of TWLATS was modified and translated and linked to my original story.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No. This sounds fun, but also terrifying given my propensity for "I'm not as good as anyone else" syndrome.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Well, I was a silent reader of many ships for over a decade but I have to say, nothing has struck the same chord as Saurondriel -- which pulled me out of the shadows and into fandom proper.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Nothing. I'm going to finish all my WIPS. They all have complete outlines.

Exceptions to this are my vignette fics, which do not have outlines, but I could call them complete today and it would not be out of place for how I set them up to support the rest of the series they are a part of.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Commenters have very kindly complimented my detailed plotting. I have short-term and long-term payoffs and like to weave events and interactions across years and different character arcs. My prose isn't the best and everything is quite wordy, but it's all there for a reason.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

My prose lacks consistency. Love some lines, hate a lot of others. I publish stuff I'm not very satisfied (in terms of prose) with when I reach diminishing returns so I can keep the plot moving. I'm not trying to be sloppy, but I'd rather post and keep the story going instead of get stuck on a scene for two months.

That said, I welcome concrit in my canonverse fics because I really do want to improve.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Yes! Quenya, Sindarin, and Spanish so far in my fics. I post the translations in-line.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power. And still here!

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

I absolutely love my Use Well The Days universe but when I finished Land of Enchantment I felt like, 'whoa, that was something else.' And I feel the same way about the sequel I am trying to exorcise from my brain so I can get back to TWLATS and my more popular WIPS.

last line

rules: share the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words you want.

thanks for tagging me @callsignspark 💁🏼‍♀️ here’s something from part iii, the tentatively titled ‘and not enough is said about the way you love me’

As if reading his mind, you grabbed the hem of his t-shirt and slowly dragged your fingers up his body, stopping both at his happy trail and the patch of hair in the middle of his chest.

“You gonna take these off, too?” he asked when his t-shirt was thrown somewhere on the ground.

“Been dying to all night - hips up, Bradshaw.”

Bradley arched his back and helped you slide his joggers down his legs, taking his boxer briefs with them. Your gaze lingered on him for a long moment, but you just gave him a coy little smile.

“Fuck,” he sighed, “How’d you let me sleep in those?”

“How’d you fall asleep on me?”

tagged by @sapphicscholar (ty bestie!!)

favorite color: like a mustardy orange yellow

currently reading: last night at the telegraph club when i remember to, mostly catching up on the flemson ao3 tag rn tbqh

last song: spotify says it was you should be dancing but i'm pretty sure it was pink pony club by chappell roan

last series: just finished a very hefty line of duty binge (finally crossed that off my list after a year, thank you @trying-to-get-somewhere-real for the push and putting up with my feral live texting) but i'm currently trying to get thru the sandman, and my background noise has been the netflix docuseries how to build a sex room, which is in fact if marie kondo did bobby berk's job for couples but making sex dungeons and also was an old british lady. they just redesigned a polyfam's 7 person sex room. it was marvelous.

last movie: i just saw tahara last night! 2020 film fest pick about jewish queer teens at a funeral starring rachel sennott in desperate need of deep conditioner and somehow this movie is not Shiva Baby (*insert 'if i had a nickel' joke here), but still was excellent despite the aspect ratio

currently working on: fandom-wise, not losing my shit every time jessica sutton posts some unhinged bait on twitter, and updating my reperatorie of basic ship playlist songs so it's not just 2000's pop ballads (if anyone has any OOTB ship songs drop 'em in the comments). personally, trying to get my landlord to meet w me so i can reapply for my new lease and buy new bedroom furniture before I leave town next week. professionally, prepping data for like, half a dozen congressional and gub campaigns that are running in the next week or two.

tag 9 people: nine is a lot and i can't be bothered to see if you already did this so here are some folks i've been seein in my notifs recently, @softdeb @hackshbo, @houseuponthehills, @stardustcityhag, @naturaliseme, @negativeoedipus, @fallingforfandoms, @hummingbirdswords, @lush-retina

How You Can Help Palestine

How to be an Ally 101

URGENT‼️📢: Global Strike Guide

If any links are broken let me know. Or pull up the current post to check whether it's fixed.

"Knowledge is Israel's worst enemy. Awareness is Israel's most hated and feared foe. That's why Israel bombs a university: it wants to kill openness and determination to refuse living under injustice and racism."

— Dr. Refaat Alareer, (martyred Dec 6, 2023)

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

-----

Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.

Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.

Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.

Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.

Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)

Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.

Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.

The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. Check back for more. I also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.

Edit 7: Complete reformatting

Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.

Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".

Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.

Edit 11: more documentaries and films

Edit 12: reformatted reading list

Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.

#i’ve been thinking abt that cringe post #i think the latent feelings behind ‘cringe’ are shame and sometimes envy/bitterness #same vibes as when six year olds say ‘those toys are for babies’ if they’ve been shamed for their age by older kids #anyway. i think part of the healing process is realizing that shame puts you at war with yourself bc part of yourself is a social being! #and that part of you wants community and acceptance (maybe love). shame is the absence of acceptance #unlearning shame means learning self-love and gaining the confidence to find your people #jerma #cw jerma #(someone asked me to tag lol)
