Meet the Writer

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

(CANON MUSES) - Hyperfixation or go home. Aerith has been a character I have written since about 2016, but before writing for her I always had a strong attachment. I was actually scared to write her because of how attached I was, because what if my thoughts didn't do her justice? She was my first heartbreak in a videogame, and I know for a fact when I discovered fanfiction I was only interested in Aerith-centric stories. I'll have to break them out of baby jail but I have the Play Arts Vol. 1 Aerith and Tifa figures from around 2005, they're stowed away under my bed "for safe keeping" from my era of not displaying the things I love most. (OCs) - I began roleplay through creating original characters in original settings, and to be honest it's way more fulfilling than worrying about canon portrayal because you bend and grow your own character as you see fit. I think my roleplay journey is something embarrassing like 8 year old Muddy honking with other 8 year old friends with tabletop RPGs, then 12 year old Muddy honking on neopets writing one liners with other 12 year olds, to 13 year old Muddy being introduced to teenchat which had chat rooms specifically for roleplay that were flooded by horny old men (asl?) and a few actual writers, and from those few actual writers I learned that we could simply write over MSN messenger to each other without the creeps! Then a 14 year old Muddy was introduced to something called IMVU which was like sims but chat bubbles wow cool! Insert a period where I dropped off from that noise for a couple of years because of schoolwork. 17 year old Muddy returned, and started over new with this nonsense, and I eventually met my viking of a friend Odin and shifted to the IMVU forums into a little RP group, proceeded to roleplay little pieces over MSN until that exploded and then over to AIM. Then life happened and I fell out of roleplay for a while. By the time I swung back into wanting to write again (fueled by my discovery of fanfiction) I didn't know where to go so I googled "where do people write together" and some crunchy old yahoo answers post pointed me to Tumblr. This is all to say that in my writing journey, before I started writing here on Tumblr, I only ever wrote original characters.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

Combat scenes. Cool to imagine, cool in media, cool concepts. Writing those fuckers out? Hard pass, I'm absolute garbage.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

Let's be honest, I love me some fluff. I think happier moments are the kind of thing I write the most, and when there can be a deep emotional connection that then allows me to have fun with the not so happier moments. It might be a surprise but I really enjoy grim dark kind of gritty themes too, but I have to be in the right mindset, preferably writing with behind the scenes hollering and still have a theme of hope. If it's a hopeless setting and nothing matters and it's all bad I tend to feel crushed.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

They come to me in visions. I think I form headcanons the way most people do, I had a life experience (I DID THIS THING, WOULD MY CHARACTER DO???), witnessed something in media (fast motorbike COOL LADY ON FAST MOTORBIKE maybe could be my cool lady) or there was a headcanon prompt that made me think about something specific.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

I can only write in silence. If I manage to write with noise, I'm distracted and the product is usually... meh.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

The vast majority are winged, but my best replies tend to be for threads where behind the scenes we have "AND WHAT IF THIS" anywhere up to 10 years into the future already. Even having those "AND WHAT IF THIS" moments it's nice to reach the actual moment in a thread and realise how the characters might react way differently at that point.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

Yee. Romance is fun, but I also enjoy 'shipping' in a sense of 'exploring a deep relationship' which can be completely platonic. Found family. Friendships. Mentors.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

Muddy. Real name Kristy, also misheard a lot as Krissie which I surprisingly like better.

ᴀɢᴇ?

Fossilised.

ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ?

May 20 BC.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ(ꜱ)?

This answer always changes. At the moment it's deep greens / turquoise / white.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴏɴɢ(ꜱ)?

My favourite songs tend to be the ones that can stir emotions at more than a surface level 'oh this sounds nice!' Aerith's theme is an obvious hard hitter and I know that I appreciate a lot of the FFXIV OST for the emotional damage it gifted to me in the past. Then there are artists like Aurora Aksnes and Florence Welch who always captivate me.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

My answer for this and the next question is still the same as the last time fhreugwiq. Damsel on Netflix.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱʜᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

Last show I watched was when I joined a discord stream to watch through a dear friend's favourite anime with them. I'm horrible and don't know the name. Next show I intend to watch was at the suggestion of a best fren. I have a problem with only rewatching my favourite shows or only watching things people ask me to.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ?

O' Death (Haunted Version) — Bobby Bass.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ?

Flavour slapping me in my face, please. Begone my childhood of boiled wet vegetables without seasoning. If I have to pick an all time favourite, it's gotta be this chicken tikka masala curry recipe my oldest brother introduced me to, which coincides with the time that I started to realise food didn't have to be boring.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ?

I don't much take notice tbh, I live in North Queensland where there isn't an insane amount of difference between the seasons — Summer real hot, Winter wear your light jumper for a week or two but peel it off by the afternoons. I guess Autumn is my favourite because that's when fresh figs and persimmons are on the supermarket shelves.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴜᴍʙʟʀ ʙᴇꜱᴛ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ?

Gestures at Skit and Vers like I'm Chris Pratt and they're the raptors. Can bang on about anything with this pair, there are rare moments where I have that "oh, that wasn't very normal of me" thought about something I said but then they return the same energy.
