#tbh this doesn't just apply to these two genres either

[gunstreetgrl]

Thinking a lot about reevaluating and “reclaiming” things from the past as queer, specifically music. For example, a friend of mine from the music scene, an AFAB nonbinary person, just finished writing a big college paper on the supposed queerness of heavy and hair metal, and the first thing I thought when I heard that was ‘nuh-uh, not this bullshit during pride month.’ I’ve seen similar connections being made by young people between emo and nu metal and supposed queerness as well. The idea being put forward here, generally, speaking, is that because the (almost exclusively) male progenitors of these genres took superficial forays into femininity (i.e. wearing makeup, embracing flamboyant stage personas, singing about their ~feelings~) this gives them some sort of meaningful claim to queerness, a term that, in this context, has been so watered down that it is functionally inert. It’s disappointing too because that kind of thinking just reaffirms gender stereotypes.

We really need to take a good hard look at what we actually mean when we slap the word queer onto a phenomena or aesthetic, especially if that phenomena/aesthetic didn’t originate in queer communities. At it’s broadest possible definition, something queer should at least be rejecting the same tired, regressive heteronormative and patriarchal stereotypes and assumptions that permeate mainstream culture. That’s why it’s so laughable that genres like hair metal or emo could be considered queer when, generally speaking, the lyrical tropes and attitudes of the genre are so day one, obviously sexist. A woman’s place in an emo song is so often relegated to ‘the unattainable object of my desire’ or ‘that bitch who broke my heart,’ while the aesthetics of hair metal essentially hinged on fantasies of sexually voracious (but importantly silent) glamazons and she demons, willing to take her top off and hop on the back of your motorcycle at the drop of a hat. That’s not even to mention the fact that scores of icons of the genres have been outed as abusers or sexually inappropriate, especially with underage girls (not an issue specific to these two genres, but important to mention nonetheless.) Which is not to say that the genres are flat out irredeemable or don’t have their place culturally, just that they are, like so much of American culture, often reflective of systemic power imbalances and bigotry.

I think a second reason that certain young people correlate genres like hair metal and emo with queerness is simply because the musicians (and fans) of the genres were derided by their critics for being too faggy, too flamboyant, too sensitive. But is it really a good idea to let definitions of queerness and queer culture be defined as whatever bigots find laughable? I find it really troubling that so many people are invested in bending over backward to justify why culture created by frustrated, straight (often white) men is queer instead of celebrating the work of actual LGBT people.

Just because you find a certain artist, work, genre, or aesthetic appealing does not mean that it’s liberatory. It’s so much more important to learn how to sit with the contradictions, the real cultural context, and the ~problematic~ qualities of a cultural object than it is to go through all the mental gymnastics required to pointlessly claim that object as secretly progressive. Not only are you doing yourself a disservice, but you’re doing everyone else a disservice by watering down a label that is supposed to do real sociopolitical work and celebrate the ways that LGBT people create and thrive despite living in a culture that would rather see us erased.

#tbh this doesn't just apply to these two genres either #so often i see people celebrating something as queer when it is literally just the same old patriarchal straight capitalist bullshit #i would like to order some nuance please

A to Z — with Gojo Satoru

Pairing : Gojo Satoru x reader (any gender)

Genre : sfw, fluff and loads of fluff, gets a bit steamy but still sfw

A/N : lots of gojo headcanons <33 this is my second work so im still learning. reblog if u like? ♡

WARNING : non-graphical description of make-out sessions, mention of blood, injury, arguments, spoilers

A = Affection (are they affectionate with you?)

He doesn't get to spend a lot of time but this boy loves you so much

Bringing souvenirs is his love language, god he spoils you

A hard day makes him super touchy so he either spoons you to sleep & gives unhealthy amounts of kisses or just drapes himself on you if he's feeling extra lazy

Sweetheart over babygirl

B = Babies (how many kids does he want?)

He doesn't really mind, hasn't though about it much

He'd let you decide whatever you want tbh

Lowkey would like three to four kids, either all daughters or all sons to make a cult gang of his own

You both are like mom & dad to Megumi so he's fine either way

C = Comfort (how do they comfort you?)

When you start ranting about another mean customer and how hard the day has been, he let's you take your time and reminds to take long breaths in between, lacing your fingers together with his mild warm ones

He'd usually get quite when you're crying, holding you in his folded lap but takes it into his own hands and cracks silly jokes when your crying becomes uncontrollable

You'd crack up most of time and relax, explain him what's going on with you, but if it goes any further and your state is worse than he expected, he'd be dangerous to deal with

Now better expect the person who hurt you dead

D = Date (how was your first date? what are dates with him like?)

He would usually get overboard with dates, getting you high-end expensive branded clothes to a dinner in one of the best restaurants in japan

Don't get him wrong though, he does this not to be pompous of his richness but because he gets so little time to spent with you

E = Emotion (is it easy for them to express his emotions in front of you?)

If there is anyone he can let himself be him around, it's no one but you

Since the day he executed his best friend, you're the only person left to hold him when he falls

He barely cries, (except that one time he killed geto) just becomes quite and you know something is not right

He never reaches out first so you sometimes end up over thinking about his health

F = Feelings (when did they know they were in love with you?)

He can't pinpoint a specific time when he started to fall for you

But maybe it started when you both were given a mission together and you planned and executed the whole thing with so much brains and courage, all you left him to do was to rescue you after you, a semi first grade sorcerer finished off the special grade curse all by yourself

He was so impressed, almost called himself a simp if he didn't know the fact you were all the same head over heels for him too

G = Gym (do they go to the gym? how built are they?)

His busy life as a 'shaman who protects people' takes credit for those guns

He has applied for a gym session but that's just for the talk

Is actually quite buffed up

Can do more than a hundred push ups

Just the perfect amount of muscles to make him an eye candy

H = Hands (how do they like to hold hands?)

When holding hands he swings your arms back and forth like a little kid

He does it so absent-mindedly you find him adorable

Doesn't let go of your hands if you both are making out

He does that because you shy away and he enjoys how helpless you look flushed bright red under him

Plays with your fingers when nervous

I = “I love you” (who said it first? and how?)

It was obvious to almost everyone who knew you two about your mutual pinning each other

But you keep chickening out and so did he

One day when you were badly injured due to an exceptionally hard mission with him he loses his cool and composure because it was you and in the heat of the moment he tightly hugs you making you promise to not let go and inevitably yelling the three words

For the sake of being a bitch and getting it back on him for every mean thing he did to you, you say, holding his face in your equally injured bloody hands, "I'm alive, honey"

You cackle as he picks you up for treatment at Shoko's clearly fake-pissed off

Ultimately you kiss his cheeks confessing back in the moment

J = Jealousy (do they get jealous? how do they act when they’re jealous?)

Gojo can get jealous really easily so you don't need to try

And when he is, he would act like a child

If he could just throw you over his shoulder while saying “mine” he would

But he settles for coming from behind you, relaxed smile on his lips, he asks what you guys are talking about in an innocent tone

K = Kiss (how do they kiss?)

It is usually short and quick ones when he kisses you bye for his solo missions or somewhere out with his students

To compensate he'd kiss you really deep and long during make out sessions knowing the fact you don't have musk ox of a lung like him

It's either quick or deep ones, no in between

Forehead kisses are his favorite

L = Love language (how do they show you that they love you? what is their love language?)

KING OF GIFT GIVING BYE

He'd pick flowers if there are any around, and braid/tuck them into your hair

Lightly scratching behind your neck and ears then smothering them and asking you to do the same

Gojo would bite your cheeks in the most random moment

Buy sour patches and gummy bears to eat with you

M = Memory (what is their favorite memory with you?)

Drunk karaoke

Neither of you could sing but it didn't matter and you couldn't stop laughing about how terrible you sounded together

Nanami came to the rescue and booked a cab

You recorded the whole thing and couldn't stop watching it when you got home

N = Night (how are nights spent with him?)

Falling asleep against his shoulder after a late night movie marathon

Sometimes he'd insist to cook the dinner by himself

And it's a new recipe of Kikufuku

You'd try to act mad but can't put it up for long not when he holds a spoonful with big eyes of the sweet desert he made

Loves to cuddle you specially on winter nights

O = On cloud nine (how do they act when falling in love with you?)

Becomes a lot more thoughtful on the next thing he gifts you and a bit more excited about giving them

Might be a bit more flirty without really realizing

Gojo also notices a lot of things about you that he begins to like more than usual

Starts acting more silly and childish (which you love)

P = Pet names (what pet names do they use?)

He's a tease, so he comes up with new odd but funny nicknames like 'nugget' and calls you that before switching to something new after almost a week

Lots of pet names when he'd comfort you, usually cute ones like 'love bug', 'bambi' or 'pup' which are your favorites

Gojo often calls you by your name followed by a '-chan' or '-kun' if he refers to you in front of anyone

Q = Quizzes (how much do they remember and know about you?)

He's a busy man, so you wouldn't mind if he forgets your birthday

But the thing is he doesn't

Keeping small things about you in mind that are important to him, like whether you're depressed or anxious

Making playlists that match both of your tastes and sending them to you late at night when he's abroad on a mission missing you

R = Rage (what do they do if they're mad at you?)

Literally almost none of your actions can make him angry

Oh but one thing

Gojo was really mad that one time you put yourself to such a diet it started to effect your body mentally and physically

Never raises his voice though, you got a day of cold shoulder untill you gave up on the diet

S = Sugar or Spice (what do they prefer?)

He has a big sweet tooth

Eating almost half of the desserts that you bring in a day

You wish his teeth rot but he's god's favourite

Can not handle spice much as you can

Probably the only thing Gojo Satoru isn't good at

T = Twitter (are they on twitter? if yes, what do they do there?)

He made a private twitter account few weeks after in a romantic relationship with you

Only lets few closest of his friends and students in

The username is 'y/nlovebot'

Isn't very active but tweet at a random hour asking the weirdest question about love advice

Megumi blocks him

U = UwU (would he ever act cute for you?)

Do you think he needs to act?

He's a jerk but he can do that to make up and you'll always fall

He'd look cute even with his small smile playing on his slightly pink glossy lips

Prolly his copping mechanism

V = Vip (how important are you to them?)

If he could choose, he'd choose you over being the strongest sorcerer in the world

You're his top priority

If not one of the top, besides Geto

You're afraid to test where he might draw the line but you believe in him, he'll never let you down

You're his 'special little pup' and very much vip

W = Waking up (what are they like when they wake up next to you?)

It's not rare that you're up before him

Waking up, you open your eyes to see his broad bare shoulders & his light hair slightly across his face

Or sometimes you wake up tangled somehow, arms and legs are often intertwined, and you're lying on his chest

He won't wake up untill his morning kisses are given

X = X-ray (how does the relationship look from an outside perspective compared to how it really is?)

Your relationship seems the cute and stable type

If there are any arguments, Gojo and you would work it out the smart ways

He knows how to handle your bad mood the best, giving you space and preparing a warm drink to make you relax

There's never a time he makes you feel things wouldn't be okay

He's not the type to baby sit you and you know that because he lets you do your part of the mission

He fell for what a rebel of a person you are, come on

Y = Yes (do they think of getting married/proposing?)

It would start off as a joke between the two of you on a late evening, in between the laughs and the light breeze coming from outside the Jujutsu tech

Gojo would find the idea of marrying you very appealing, suddenly not laughing anymore

There would be a high chance that he would promise on holiday or something to make it a special time

On the day of proposal night, that happens to be your birthday, he'd definitely do something silly like wrap a bit of tissue around your finger as a fake ring until he got one

Z = Zzz (how do they sleep with you?)

Finds it easier to sleep while hugging you to his chest

Often tangles his legs around yours out of habit when he spoons you

He's not a heavy sleeper thanks to his sharpened senses

You like to stroke his hair and he would smile at you but wakes up with you sprawled all over him lol

A/N : AND THAT'S ALL. i hope this put a smile on your face somewhere along the lines lol. Untill next time!

Class 1A Boys + music they listen to (PART 2)

There's always that ONE person who is like a parent when it comes to his whole class and music making sure it's "school appropriate" and that would be no other than the class rep, Iida.

Has a playlist for literally his life routine lol (study, relaxing, outings, running in the rain in his retro raincoat 😂,etc.). I feel like he would listen to like 90's music, classic rock (his fav artist is Foo Fighters for sure) he doesn't mind playing his stuff every now and then but he's busy most of the time preparing for class. nerd lol.

May sound shocking but he likes SOME rap but it's all old school rap/hip-hop like Biggie, Ice T, Usher, MC Hammer but he only listens to it outside of U.A though because he doesn't want "taint his image of class rep". He tried trying new school rap and..let's say he'll just stay where he is (he almost got hurt BUT that's for another story!)

The only classmate that is so chill with almost every genre of music is Sero. Even songs in different languages and more exotic genres like nudisco, jazzfunk, and french house (which are his favorites, cause it's a rarity he cherishes). He would play japanese funk while he drives down the road JUST for the ✨aesthetic✨ (future au idea). Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis, Doja Cat, Rosalia, JIAFEI just any other artist that sings in another language other than english he'll know. And he sings it so well but has no idea what a lick of it means well except for japanese.

Is not scared of talking about it to any of his classmates and actually persuading them to give it a try or if he plays it on his bluetooth speaker before class starts and then one of his classmates asks him the next day for ex: Tokoyami asks him "Hey Sero, what was that techo like song were you playing yesterday, for some reason it's in my head." and then the tape boi will go through his recently played songs from yesterday (he's a yt music kinda guy tbh). Then basically almost everybody is interested in what he has in store next

In other words he's the one who always brings his speaker to class but is respectful and plays it before class even starts, he's an early bird.

Denki, is the twin of Sero cool with any kind of music but leans more into the weebcore/rap category. He most likely will play weeb music in his dorm room, the usual anime openings and ending theme songs with a dorky smile on his face humming along while reading manga.

Is the aux cord GOD, will never disappoint the Bakusquad with any music he plays in the car he'll play some Marshmello and everyone would get littt🔥🔥🔥 or some nostalgic jpop to sing awfully off tune to to piss off Bakugo ofc.

Fun Fact: The whole Bakusquad got kicked out of his car at least five times singing terribly lmaooooo

(!!I'M WRITING THIS HEADCANON BEFORE THE TRAITOR ERA HE HAD!!)⬇️

💅Voguing king✨ that's the title Yuga Aoyama gives himself when his headphones are filled with the sounds of VOGUE EDITS IM SORRY HE SERVES CUNT ISTG GO LOOK AT HIS HERO COSTUME UGHHHH 😫 he even putson fashion shows with the Class A Girls 🥺🥺 *imagines him voguing to this 1 hour playlist of just phonk/runway music cause I can*

He is also very bold at expressing his love for future funk obsession, his peers don't mind it at all..well, ONE person *cough cough bakugo*. ⬇️

Totally applies his makeup (generally eyeliner cause he has the ✨prettiest✨ eyes, fight me 🤪)to either one of those two categories imo (he gives me when i suddenly want to try runway eyeliner makeup😭 -cries in non fem queen-)

BEST FOR LAST MOTHAFUCKIN' BAKUGO AND KIRISHIMA aka BakuKiri or KiriBaku (shoutout to the shippers for that pair✌️) 💥🤟

Heavy Metal/Death Metal for Bakugo

NEFFEX, Rock and workout tunes for Kirishima

Five Finger Death Punchis literally Boom Boom Boi's fav and Kiri is in the car just vibing and just not minding it at all knowing it's his way of relieving stress from work plus it's manly sounding anyway to him as well so whatever makes him happy ❤️

Psst..come here..*whispers in your ear* Bakugo gets with Tokoyami for secret thrashing sessions sometimes 🤫

YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T! THE DARK OVERLORD AND THE ANGRY POMERANIAN THRASHING TOGETHER LMAOO AND THEN KIRI JOINS IN LATER AND THEN THE WHOLE BAKUSQUAD LMAOAOAO

Now Kiri goes to the gym pumping iron to some Neffex is a must for him that's his whole workout niche but anywhere his workout playlist goes who knows?

Has a whole thrash playlist as well go figs

Disco on the treadmill? yes please

Dubstep while throwing around that heavy ass rope? yessir yessir

At the end of the day he's chillin' to some chillstep while laying on his bed after a shower, resting to recharge for the next day

MIneta...yeahhhh dont give him the aux cord..just don't trust him

Imma just say one word that he would blare on someone speaker

Cupcakke

That is all..so hide yo aux cords or don't bring it at all and just stick to the radio

Tell us more about Bridgerton is ruining HR publishing. Also, do you think this extends to the show in that it really isn't paving the way for more HR adaptations?

Lol, I was mostly being facetious because it's actually publishing's reaction to Bridgerton.

And I mean, it doesn't extend to the show--it is the show.

I think I should make this clear. I think the Bridgerton books are pleasant historical romances that serve a specific audience that prefers lighthearted, romcom-y, sexually tame books about largely upper class leads. There are two I really like, but for ME as a reader, they're largely mid. I can say that and also say that they're quite successful. Do I think they were the most successful series in historical romance? Nope. I think they sold very well, obviously, but I don't think they had a gigantic influence on the genre prior to the TV show... Because lighthearted, tamer authors existed before Quinn, and they existed well after. Imo, the idea that the Bridgerton books were influential on HR on the level of like... Judith McNaught or Johanna Lindsey... is a myth the people behind the show kinda push. Julia Quinn has never tried that.

As for the rest:

--The show doesn't pave the way for HR adaptations because a) the female audience will never be trusted and b) the show really doesn't sell itself as historical romance, and isn't one. The fandom doesn't largely give a fuck about HR, which isn't their fault lmao why would they with the way that it's been sold.

--However, trad publishing doesn't currently know how to market without comps. When you're trying to get an agent these days, it's basically obligatory that you go in with comps. "My manuscript is 'The Count of Monte Cristo meets Bridgerton' etc. Your agent will also probably need a comp to sell your MS to a publisher. If you're writing historical romance right now, publishers are often looking for "X meets Bridgerton". This means that you've got a lot of people sending in a similar type of MS: fluffy, contemporary-ish, safe.

--Which also coincides with a preexisting contemporary dominance in romance. Historical romance has not been on top for quite a while. Paranormal romance dropped off some time ago. Contemporary romance is the top dog, and historical romance writers are probably chasing that.

--(This obviously applies less so to authors that were successful before Bridgerton--this issue affects people trying to break into historical romance.)

--The thing is that when you're trying to chase Bridgerton, you're trying to chase something that fundamentally? Doesn't really relate to what has worked for HR for so long, and it certainly doesn't relate to any kind of new edge. Bridgerton sells itself as inclusive, but it's casting people of color in roles that were white in the books, clumsily writing in race, and denying queer people a seat at the table. So, where does that leave historical romance authors who could do something new: writing stories about people of color who are living lives they would in the past, and writing stories about queer people?

--And lmao don't even try to break in with a more erotic or kinky historical romance, because if you're comping to Bridgerton... that show ain't either of those things.

--I speak as someone who reads a lot of new historical romance releases... A lot of what I've seen in traditional publishing lately has been like... even straighter and whiter than usual, and DEFINITELY a lot tamer. Sex? What sex? Lmao, I've even seen authors who've had sex in their books in the past wipe it out of new releases.

--(This doesn't apply to indie or self publishing.)

--And I don't think readers are responding. What it's reinforcing is a preexisting idea that historical romance is a) entirely white b) entirely straight c) less sexy than contemporary. None of these ideas are totally off for the general subgenre, tbh, but there are writers who could move it in a different direction if they just got a chance.

--The sex issue, to be fair, is affecting a lot of romance right now. To be fair.

--As a result of this and.... other things, a lot of new historical romance readers are recommending the same few older, super successful authors over and over. Lisa Kleypas might be selling some more of her backlist, but it doesn't help the people who could push the subgenre forward.

--And tbh? I don't think historical romance should court contemporary readers or romcom readers, by and large. They're welcome, but I don't know that every contemporary reader is going to like HR (and that's okay!). Imo, dark romance readers seem to have a greater affinity for older historical romance (which makes sense--the dubcon, the high stakes, the eroticism, the d/s undertones sooooo rife in older HR) along with PNR readers (again: high stakes, alpha males, a kind of animalistic eroticism in older books similar to PNR).

--To be frank, I think that if HR is going to like... ever be on top again in traditional publishing, the books need to get a lot sexier, a lot more progressive, and a lot wilder. "Miss Bittlesworth is gossiping about how her best friend had her hand held by Lord Crumpet" is not going to get TikTok goin'. "Amelia, the secret bastard debutante who's engaged in an affair with the man who bought her virginity at auction and now they're having sex on a seance table"? Might.

--And like... yeah... Does HR have a long history of dubious consent and alpha males and other controversial issues? Sure. Do I think that some level of intentional controversy is what the genre needs right now? Yeah. Pearl-clutching over shit Johanna Lindsey wrote in the 80s is one thing. Intentional subversiveness (see: Scarlett Peckham, among others) is another. The reality is that traditionally published HR has a weird future ahead if it doesn't push the envelope, so better to ruffle some feathers and sell some books than worry about people being offended by a bit of edginess.

--Basically: the vast majority of Bridgerton viewers don't care about reading historical romance; a lot of people who would like wild historical romance are not being marketed to; and traditional publishers in romance in general are afraid of really courting interesting, subversive, exciting books. In part because, due to capitalism, the idea is always "get bigger" which means courting people who are never going to be interested in any kind of romance, let alone historical romance.

#romance novel blogging #bridgerton #i guess #lol i have zero interest in the show either way anymore #i don't care. if you like it you like it and i have no problem w you not wanting to read historical romance #the show doesn't set you up to like the subgenre and if it doesn't work for you it doesn't work for you #but like idk why publishing is chasing that audience when the show isn't about promoting the subgenre

HELLO AGAIN THE AMAZING GREAT BABU!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welcome back even though I don’t know what the hell does shadow banded means, I’m just glad your back with doing requests. I’m so excited to request this one to you.

Can I request a reader that looks like inosuke hashibira and acts like inosuke, even wearing his boar head 24/7 to hide he’s pretty face. He’s voice is the same with mitsuya’s and everyone is gonna be like why do like sound so much like mitsuya.

Inosuke reader x draken, Baji, pehyan, mitsuya, and Mikey.

I'm sorry this took so long!! but here it is!!! <3 Hope you would enjoy this!!!

Pretty (Tokyo Revengers)

Genre: Fluff, Chaos, Headcanons

Pairings: Draken, Baji, Peh Yan, Mitsuya, Mikey x MALE! Reader

KEN RYUGUJI (DRAKEN)

Out of all the characters you requested...I think Draken would be the only one who is not gonna pay mind to how you sound like.

But what he doesn't understand is...

HOW CAN YOU LOOK SO PRETTY AND YET SOUND SO MASCULINE?

You know that one audio meme that goes... "Maybe I'm gay?" from Big Mouth? yeah, that meme applies to Draken.

He doesn't like you romantically but because of his platonic liking towards you, he is confused whether that makes him gay or Nah.

Not only do you look pretty and sound masculine and also wear a boar mask... but you happened to also sound like Mitsuya...

And at this point, he doesn't even know whether it's Mitsuya talking or you.

Someone save this boy, he is confused af... T^T

BAJI KEISUKE

Baji x Inosuke Reader?...are you trying to kill me???

If you put this two in a room with me, I would probably die because of how deep their voices are.

You are probably friends with Baji, no questions asked...

You both like to commit arson.

Mainly spreading chaos all over Tokyo and ISTG...Toman is so done with the two of you.

Baji doesn't mind you're pretty face and deep voice tbh...what he minds is...

HOW COME YOU HAVE GOOD HAIR EVEN THOUGH YOU WEAR A BOAR MASK EVERY SINGLE DAY?!?!! HOW?!?!?!

High chance that Baji would make a plan with Chifuyu that is titled "Infiltrate Y/N's bathroom and find out what hair products he uses"

You nearly killed this man when he found out that the only thing you use on your hair was a cheap shampoo...He is so done.

RYOHEI HAYASHI (PEH YAN)

As much as I love Peh Yan...please leave me alone...

If you are with Peh Yan I just know it's going to be a scream-off! Not the Rock Metal type of Scream-off but the actual yelling.

Take note...you and he aren't arguing...you both are just yelling...

It's either you're talking about stupid things or! you both are having a contest on who can yell first.

Like Draken, he doesn't care if you look really pretty or the fact that you wear a boar mask. As long as you help with the gang, he is cool with ya!

but can someone please prevent this two from seeing each other? I'm scared...I feel like someone will break their vocal cords...

TAKASHI MISTUYA

The way I laughed is unexplainable XD

Mitsuya is responsible and we headcanon him as someone responsible and always serious but I've never seen someone write him as cheerful and would like to pull pranks on his sisters.

Since you sound like him, he would always make you come over and visit him and just play pranks with his sisters. XD

His sisters are so confused and he just ends up bursting into laughter.

But for some reason, his sisters like you more than him.

Maybe it's because you look pretty despite having a deep voice, you're face makes you less scary <3

He doesn't mind you at all, he just wants you to stay as you are and never change ^-^ <3

MANJIRO SANO (MIKEY)

Likes to mock your voice...like fr...

Also started to question his sexuality XD

Who wouldn't question their sexuality when they hear you with a groggy voice through the phone???!!!

Doesn't mind your pretty face...I mean what would you pretty face doo if it's gonna get beaten up later, right?

Thinks that your Boar mask is so cool and would secretly snatch it off of you and wear it as you chase him around but regretted when he tripped over a rock and face planted on the floor...

Draken is so tired of his rambling about how he might be gay because of your voice...

Someone really needs to save Draken...He is so so tired...

[wildwood-faun]

41, 11, 17 for the ask?

Thank you! :)

41. Any advice for new/beginning/young writers?

Write lots!! When I was younger I wrote everywhere, all the time and tbh I feel like I need to get back to that. Don't worry too much about quality or originality in the beginning (and even when you've been writing a while, remember that the first draft doesn't have to be perfect), just have fun exploring words and worlds. And read lots! Even if you don't consciously study other writers' you will learn a lot just from absorbing what they've done. Not to mention all the grammar and spelling rules you'll tend to pick up without really having to think about it.

Relatedly, I also think trying other writers' styles consciously is a very useful exercise that with time will help you shape your own. Take your favourite writers and try to figure out what makes their writing stand out to you. Or read some stories from a particular era or genre and try to mimic that style. Fanfiction is a good space to play with another writer's style, but you could also try to take just their style and apply it to your own stuff.

11. Books and/or authors who influenced you the most?

I owe a great deal to Neil Gaiman and Susanna Clarke. Gaiman's "anything goes" fantasy that melds the gritty with the sublime taught me that inspiration and magic can be found everywhere - that you don't have to go back to a pseudo-medieval setting to write great fantasy, how you can blend the new and the old, the crude and the holy, to your hearts desire. And Clarke's grip of language and worldbuilding is just astonishing to me. The more I learn about fairy lore, the more I respect the research that went into Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell - and the way she managed to wrangle such a huge and complex story is just incredibly impressive.

17. What writing habits or rituals do you have?

I do most of my first draft writing by hand, with one of two types of pen (either a fountain pen or a pilot rollerball - I need good ink flow!). If I'm at home I'll often light candles. When I'm plotting or brainstorming I'll often listen to music with lyrics that I find suits the themes I'm after (often this will spark new ideas). When I'm actually writing I listen to music as well, but then it's usually instrumental. Sometimes I'll listen to the same song over and over because it's the only thing I can find where the mood is just right.

Some of my best writing sessions have been on long train rides. There's something about being in motion but contained to one spot and unable to really do anything that really works for me.
