Here’s some lines from Angra, my commander from pathfinder wotr :>

“It’s always a victory, no matter how small, I’m not about to just let you give up! Who would I feast with after our victory??”

“Would you believe I was just trying to see my mom? Gods, I hope she’s alright.”

“Listen my father is not perfect: a drunkard and a privateer, damn he even lost his ship twice! But I wouldn’t change him for anything in the world. All the adventures and laughter, nights by the fire singing songs and telling stories, all the memories… Would you really miss out on all that with your daughter?”

“We missed you, at least I did, it was getting pretty boring without your shenanigans.”

“You’d make an excellent pirate! Once this is all over I need to take you to my city to see all the ships in the docks, maybe even get you your own!”

“Holy mother of cheese, what the actual fuck?”

“Where I’m from people don’t flee from a fight… Well some do, and some are drunk, and some probably watch wondering what is going on but the point is: we’re friends, friends stick together, you can count on me.”

“You know what we really need? A bard. Fuck, alright, I’ll be the bard.”

“My dreams? Well, I dream of the sea pretty often, and also of fights and brawls, feasts and treasures, there was this time I dreamt that me and the whole crew were fighting a kraken in nothing but our breeches!”

“Of course I can sing, you can’t walk a step in the docks of Goudenhaven without hearing a song, it’s in our blood.”

“The Harpies that almost drowned my crew were more pleasant than you.”

“I’ll be honest with you: your friends, they’re pretty weird.”

“You’re not just good Arue, you’re the best I know. I wish to stay with you forever. Free, boundless, I wish to show you the beauty of the world, to wake beside you every day in a new place and hear your laughter, see your smile, create new memories…”

“Not sure if this is a good idea but I kind of want to see what happens.”

“Are you done? Is he done? Demons and their villain monologues, I swear…”

5 songs

Tagged by @syncopatedid - yeah I'm still kicking around on here, finally have a nice relaxing drama-free dash so why not? :)

RULES: Put 5 songs you actually listen to, then tag 10 some people:

Recently we are trying not to be on screens in front of the baby, or have the TV on too much, so I'm mostly listening to my existing record collection.

My five:

Green Day - The American Dream is Killing Me

Carole King - It's Too Late

Replacements - I Will Dare

Sam & Dave - Hold On I'm Coming

Buddy Rich Big Band - Mercy Mercy Mercy

The baby's five:

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime*

Johnny Cash - Cry Cry Cry**

Death Cab for Cute - Follow You Into the Dark***

Bouncing Souls - The Day I Turned My Back on You***

Traditional - All the Pretty Little Horses***

*The baby's absolute FAVORITE song, he goes nuts when this comes on

**Not sure how much he likes this song in particular but he loves Johnny Cash so we are often listening to the best of record this one's on

***We sing these as lullabies to him at night... gonna make a recording someday, I like my harmonies on all of these but especially the Death Cab for Cutie

Incidentally the students I teach are always asking about my music tastes and I'm always dodging the question, but recently I told them I really liked Usher's superbowl show (which I did - the stuff of middle school prom), so now they think I am an Usher super fan and keep asking me about how much I love Usher... I do like Usher... U Got it Bad being probably my favorite Usher song.

I was tagged by @laurfilijames @middleearthpixie @lesbiankiliel and @sunnyrosewritesstuff for this game, so naturally, we gotta do it!

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

I'm doing this based on what's updated recently and going backward 10 fics lol

Thorin had been to this same bookshop about every other day for the past month.

Life in Hobbiton had always been rather quiet.

Bilbo stared.

Erebor was but a fleeting thought nowadays.

Time with Thorin meant that Bilbo had taken his time with investigating what pleased the dwarf. 

“I've suffered worse wounds than this!” Thorin bellowed, finally having had enough of Oin's poking and prodding at his wounds, while others continued to treat him like glass.

Bilbo should have known that adjusting to Shire life wouldn’t come as easily to Thorin as he had hoped.

This wasn’t the way things were supposed to go—it was a constant negative thought that wrapped around Bilbo’s mind more often than not.

Gandalf had warned him, and yet somehow Bilbo hadn’t quite believed in the old wizard’s words of ‘never being the same’ until actually trying to adjust back to life in Hobbiton.

For a respectable Baggins, nothing truly ever changed.

I honestly couldn't tell you if there are any patterns here 🤣 but if anyone else sees any, I'd be interested to hear!

Tag game: Tag nine (9) people you want to get to know better

Tagged by: @imhereformr (thank youuuuuu)

Three Ships:

Stella/Brandon (Winx Club): They've been my OTP since I first saw them on TV in 2004. I've been unable to "not" think about them since then, and then I turned to Tumblr Winx and to Ao3 Winx ... and that got me into writing multi-chaptered Brella centric fics, so ... yeah, I love them.

Stella is all the things I've always wanted to be as a little girl: charming, exceptionally beautiful inside and out, loyal to the core ...

Brandon is just the best guy. THE BEST.

And I love them. Forever

Rogue/Gambit (XMen): The untouchable woman and the sluttiest (affectionate) man to ever walk the Earth? How could one not love them!!! Though their interactions are almost always tainted by miscommunication and consequent angst (which I love, yet seeing them just being happy would be better), they are meant for each other. Also, they've been living in my mind rent-free for a long time. And should live in yours too!

Angel Dust/Husk (Hazbin Hotel): This is a new one, but it's meant to stay. I've only recently hopped on the train of Hazbin Hotel and I've fallen in love with those two poor non-owner of their souls. They make me suffer, laugh, and cry. I LOVE THEM AND WILL PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS.

First Ship:

Hermione/Ron (Harry Potter): I don't know if it's the first, but it's definitely the first I've written about! They complete one another <3

Last Song:

Addict from Hazbin Hotel (from before Hazbin Hotel)

I can't stop listening to Hazbin songs (and I don't want to) and this is so ICONIC.

This is the mantra, this is my life you're playing with now till the end of the night

Surrounded by fire, the passion ignites, a hit of that heaven and hell, a helluva high

Last Movie:

I'm not much for movies, series are more my jam, but, when I watch a movie, I prefer doing so at the cinema. The last on eI watched was Poor Creatures and ... sorry, I didn't like it :(

Currently Reading:

many things. the last one I started was Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson on Audible. I've only listened for half an hour. We'll see how it goes.

Currently Watching:

many thingsssssssssss. I'm trying to finish Echo, The Crown and Community. But I guess I'll rewatch Hazbin Hotel.

Currently Drinking:

Peach juice.

Currently Craving:

Inspiration for my fics <3

She looks at him for a second more before kissing him, pressing their lips together with so much force, she’s afraid she’s going to break teeth, but who cares about teeth, those can be replaced. The precious time she has with him can’t.

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @hxhhasmysoul, thanks munen for always thinking of me even though I haven't written anything for like... a year.

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

27

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

153,197

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Hunter x Hunter and Final Fantasy VII (original 1997 game) are the main ones, and then there are a few others that are either old or that time I wrote historical RPF for yuletide.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

(All five are T-rated  Hunter x Hunter fics.)

1)Freecs Adventure Travel Co.- I think this is because it’s tagged ‘slowburn’ and recced on a list with other slowburn fics…  I have this drafted out to the end, it has one more chapter left (and it’s not really a slowburn, aha).  A post canon Killugon reunion fic + Alluka. 

2) Paper Ties – This is a short oneshot about Killua/Alluka/Kalluto originally written for a secret santa exchange.  The writing’s just okay, but a lot of people have this bookmarked and I think it’s probably because they like my explanation for why Kalluto knows nen at the start of HxH, but Killua doesn’t.

3) On a Cold and Snowy Night- A Killugon There Was Only One Bed oneshot originally written for a valentine’s day exchange.  I think people just really like this trope. 

4) There's a Light That Never Goes Out  - It’s another post canon Killugon reunion fic, this time without Alluka (or she’s mentioned, but offscreen).  Listen, HxH fans love reunion fics! 

5) Dungeon x Hunter – a finished multichapter AU where Killua, Gon, Leorio and Kurapika are college friends who play Dungeons and Dragons together.  Inspired by something a friend said forever ago about how Kurapika is like the ultimate DnD rules lawyer min-maxing all his stats. 

...Actually except for On a Cold and Snowy Night, what these all have in common is that they’re among the first things I wrote after I rejoined the fandom.  So I think there’s just a network effect here where people are finding them via bookmarks. 

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

I always reply right away, I spend the day after I post anything refreshing my inbox basically. 

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Either my FFVI Barret backstory fic Corel Days or the one I wrote for FFVII Halloween with prompt: Annihilation.  Those both had the Major Character Death tag on them and like… no one clicks on them.  Haha.  They���re sad because of the character death but also sad because they’re about climate change and fans just aren’t generally here for that level of downer.      

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

Most of my fics end either happily or ambiguously besides those two, but I’d call Dungeon x Hunter my most “nothing bad happened” story where there’s not really much conflict, and when there is conflict it’s resolved quickly. 

8. Do you get hate on fic?

Never, and I don’t really get spam comments either… maybe once or twice I’ve gotten requests to write a particular pairing but like 99% of the comments I get are really lovely positive ones from other writers. 

9. Do you write smut?

 I haven’t because I’m lazy and smut is hard to write….There’s a fade to black sex scene in my Frederick the Great Space AU and actually, an implied sex scene in my forever ago Libertines AU where Carl Barat turns into a cat, but that’s the closest I’ve ever come.  Most of what I write is rated T. 

10. Do you write crossovers?

I have written crossovers!   It was a long time ago, and they were mostly short what-ifs, like, what if Arthur Dent met Light Yagami?   I think it’s more fun to imagine the crossovers in your head than to actually write them, they don’t usually have plots but it’s fun to imagine how the characters would interact.    

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so?  I’m not really that popular. 

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Actually yes, I think?   Someone translated a Death Note fic a long time ago.  It’s not on Ao3 though. 

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, actually!  My Libertines AU where Carl Barat turns into a cat was co-written by the lovely 0_clay_0 who was my favorite writer in the fandom at the time.   So that was pretty great.  She lives in Germany and I went to visit her once, any of you guys out there wondering what the appeal of writing RPF is, it’s that you can meet amazing people who live all around the world if you’re both really passionate about the same thing. 

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Probably Killugon, but I’m getting nostalgic for the Pete/Carl fic as I write this post, haha.  I think the writing in that fandom (Libertiens RPF) was the best of any fandom I’ve ever been in, by a long shot…  Ranma/Akane (Ranma ½) also has a strong nostalgic pull for me. 

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?

I’m gonna finish Freecs Adventure Travel Co, I swear!!!!!   That’s my only posted (to AO3) WIP… most of what I post are oneshots because I know my own limits. 

16. What are your writing strengths?

Varying my sentence lengths.   Also filling in backstory and gaps in the canon, and writing 'densely' so there's multiple ideas per paragraph.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Anything that requires effort: plotting, dialog, action scenes, sex scenes… Most of what I write doesn’t require me to think that hard about what I’m doing.   

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

If it was in-character I would do it.  There’s a certain kind of reader that would enjoy the challenge of having to look up the translation, some people like it when you make them make an effort.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

It was Naruto... now THAT is a WIP I’m never going to finish LOL.  

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I’ve said this before, but it’s my Pariging Coffee Shop AU.   I like how Ging’s character came out, he’s not really the same Ging from canon but it works.  And it’s kinda funny?  I’m always writing close to canon but I like reading AUs more, so I'm happy I finally wrote one that's fun for me to re-read.

I'm supposed to tag 20 people for this... here goes! @fury-brand @rosemochi @cateringisalie @nautilusopus @voidcat-senket @recents @ladycrescentvenus @mysterypond @dimensionten @clood @cafeaulater @storybookprincess @dodici12 @cocoa-bop @rabbitprint @kiwizoom @autumnxsunflower @ishouldgetatumbler @fireolin @minimoonstar

WIP Wednesday

or thursday in my case

Thanks for tagging me @mollywog 🧚🏻

I let my head fall back, the curlers digging into my skull. I picture myself on that boat out at sea, with its flimsy glass dancefloor and drunk guests stomping on my bare feet. Would they be too far gone to notice if I slipped out to the deck and closed the door behind me? Now that the sound of the party is muffled, I can hear the waves crashing and bubbling around the boat too. I can feel a salty breeze on my face and see the far lights of a strange town. What would it take for me to climb over the rails and let myself crash into the cold winter waters?

Tag Game Tuesday, thank you @gardenerian <3 <3

Name: Scurv

Age: Old enough to pay taxes and be unhappy about the state of roads despite paying taxes.

Favorite Color: Fuchsia!

Beverage of Choice: Depends on the time of day. I like a hot chai in the morning but Coke the rest of the day until it’s after five, then it’s margarita time.

Do you have push notifications turned on for Tumblr?: Don’t think so? I am real bad with technology though.

Opinion on Fireworks?: I enjoy fireworks on the appropriate day (singular!) for them. Also enjoy them when they are NOT near my car (my friend’s husband had poor aim this past independence day)

Favorite childhood toy?: Hmm. I was a stuffed animal kind of gal. I had a massive collection of dogs, horses, and unicorns.

The store you shop at the most?: I’m very basic - Target.

Do you swear a lot?: On the internet and on weekends. Not so much during the week because I work with kids and parents generally don’t like it when you swear.

Favorite Trope: I love so many, but I will always, ALWAYS be a sucker for “Oh no, there’s only one bed, what will we EVER do?”

An album with no skips: Megalithic Symphony by AWOLNATION

If you could play any instrument what would you choose?: I think I’d like to pick up the clarinet again if I had to choose. 

Your biggest pet peeves?: Maybe more than a pet peeve but, be nice to your kids? I shouldn’t be the nicest person in your kid’s life.

Favorite time of day?: Whenever I get to take my bra off for the day.

And finally, did you drink water today?: Yep, and it keeps uh, coming back up so, we’re having time today.
