White Noise

I wrote this as a gift for @/chrustilins.art.corner on Instagram and their amazing Surgeon AU. They make insane art and are a really cool person all around. This is based on their aforementioned AU.

Characters: Dream/George, SBI family dynamic by which I mean they are actually family, a bunch of mcyts become doctors, unnamed background characters and a lot of em

Tags: medical terminology, hospital, gore, surgery (duh), implied trauma and loss, sensory overload, auditory overload?, hurt-comfort, if you know the au it'll hurt more, I promise nobody dies

1/1

Words: 2,311 words, 12,593 characters (circa)

When Dream was still in medical school, he was assigned to review a thesis by one Mr. Rosarito M. Guerrero. It was 50 something pages of a guy reinstating what he already thought was obvious to everyone who ever walked through the automatic doors: hospitals are loud, and they get louder every year. It included little graphs the printer he was at the mercy of spat out in shades too dark, but they weren't an enigma to understand then, much less now that he basically lived on the cardiology floor. He could hear all of it, all of the time: children's shoes squeaking as they ran around unsupervised, blaring ambulance sirens that couldn't just stop after getting the patient out, doctors shouting orders to interns that won't understand them, people crying over nothing, or just the low humm of the ceiling lights while he gave up on waiting for his next patient.

The fourth one. The fourth time his pager alerted him for an emergency downstairs since he started his shift. A woman in her 40s this time. He sighs, drops the clipboard he was writing his inventory on in the hands of the first nurse in his way and takes the stairs. Fixated on the steps, he starts a little guessing game to steady his nerves: What's Killing You? "A woman in her 40s needs heart surgery" said the fist note on his mental coarkboard. If it were overdose, she'd already be dead. Anyone who overdoses after 30 wasn't rescued, but discovered, and discovered means done for. Heart attack? In her 40s? Either they've been actively torturing her at work or there's a family history. Or, and he really didn't want to deal with another, it could be a- Screaming breaks his thought pattern. Yep, he's reached the ground floor. No use in trying to think about anything once you have to walk past rows and rows of people holding their broken limbs like they have to get them amputated and patient's family trying to argue with staff like they know what they're doing. He gets bumped into twice, has to dodge a cart once, and was almost stopped by three separate people, shooting up from their seats to ask him when they can be recieved. Like every doctor works in the same department. Not finding anything polite to say to the third, a comfortable woman who was actively breaking the sound barrier, he replied "I don't work here" and took off. Sometimes he wishes it was true, but only for a moment.

"Car accident, isn't it?"

"Yeah, she hit the guardrail at a curve and her airbag didn't open." replies Sam, marching towards him. "The lawsuit will be glorious." Dream mumbles with the dry humor he can only use around a select few. His colleague, first on that list, hands him his plastic wrapped facial mask with an already muffled "If she makes it." They turn the corner to the entrance and find the woman on the ambulance stretcher. They spot Darryl's hand shoot up from the crowd of interns and nurses, gesturing them to come closer. "Dr. Wast." he introduces him quickly to the posse. He then walks back to exchange a few words to a blond man about the same age as the woman. His hands rest on the shoulders of two almost identical teenagers, one a brunette, the another with dyed pink hair. Between them stood, clearly lost, a boy that couldn't be older than a gradeschooler.

Dream stares at them for a second, then looks down at the woman. Even if half her face is being covered by an oxygen mask, she looks way younger than 40. It makes Dream shiver.

At the count of 3, she is lifted - Sam and Dream hold most of her weight, but nobody is actually going to point it out - and transfered to a proper hospital bed. "Major injuries?" he talks over the younger staff, settling for the one that looks the easiest to deal with. He stammers, holding the metal railing of the bed as it rolls through the hallways. "Uhm- broken nose, left femur is fractured in two places, but we've also-- Dr. Halo detected internal bleeding. Her sternum..." He starts but draws a blank, so he gestures, opening his palm to his chest and pressing hard on it. Dream resists the urge to roll his eyes at the unprofessionalism and just nods as he slows down to stand behind the bed. "Dr Halo, we'll have to get her to radiology--" tries another nurse, but Darryl dismisses her. "There's no time, her heart is already struggling. We'll have personnel from the unit join us and, if necessary, she'll be flipped on her side." Dream looks over at him. Thank god he's in charge of things. From behind, they hear a tiny British voice shout "Mum!", then die out.

Catching up with them in the hall, Dr Ponk opens the door to the operating room to carry in the patient, now identified as Mrs. Watson, while the staff gets ready in the prep room. Dream is the last one out, about to get his equipment sterilized when he hears a very unsubtle and squeaky pair of children's sneakers chasing after him. Dream turns around to meet with that tuft of blond hair over the biggest blue eyes he's ever seen. They stare up at him. "Is my mum in there?" asks the boy. "Yes, but you can't see her now. She's sick." Dream says, not knowing if he should lie. The boy looks past him for a second, then back up at him before running towards the door. Instinctively, Dream slams it behind him. Hard.

"What was that?" Sam says while fitting his gloves again. "One of her kids followed us somehow, the youngest. He's outside." Dream says firmly, subtly taking a moment to breathe in before stepping closer to the table. One of the interns, a young woman with already sterilized hands looks at the door at the information, but goes back to preparing the basin. Dr Ponk, already sterilizing the tools, is the only one who actually responds with alarm "What?! How did he get in here?!" "Not my problem." Dream shrugs, "If I heard him coming, so did his family. They'll come get him." "No, we have to at least tell him to leave." Ponk points out like it's obvious. "Why? We have to work fast, there's no time to think about some kid!" Sam defends. "Are any of you not sterilized yet?" Darryl asks the interns, all shaking their heads. "We're ready, Dr. Halo. Dr. Wast is the only one who hasn't..." the girl speaks, until her voice dies out once she realizes Dream absolutely does NOT want to open the door. That's when they hear a pair of small fists banging on the door. "Tell him to go back to his dad." Darryl orders, pointing at the door. "Me??" Dream snaps "I'm here to save this woman, not babysit!" "You're here to save a MOTHER, and her child is standing outside. Just be nice." Darryl says firmly. Dream refrains from groaning in his face.

The boy immediately goes quiet. The lights keep buzzing. A knot of muscles and saliva clogs Dream's throat. The boy is staring up at him with terror in every part of his body. The little body he, the adult, is probably pulling and pushing too hard. He sniffles softly and Dream wishes he could cry with him. Instead he lets him go slowly, putting his hands on his shoulders. He kneels, breathes in like he hadn't been breathing the whole time. "...Your mommy will be fine, she's just sleeping because she got hurt." He whispers. The boy nods. "When we get hurt or we get sick, our bodies need time to recover. You'll see her soon, just not now, ok?" "Ok." the boy says. That's when he hears a pair of British voices barge in with a nurse. "TOMMY!" the brunette boy says in unison with his twin. "Tommy, you can't run away like that!" The father says, catching his breath. He spares a glance at Dream. He just nods and steps back. Tommy is picked up by one of his brothers and hides in the crook of his neck, tired out. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to see mum." "We've already told you, Tommy. The doctors need to take care of her." "I know, Wilby." Tommy's voice murumrs, as 'Wilby' follows his dad's gesture to back through the door with the nurse. Once they're alone, the father steps forward, red in the face. "I am so incredibly sorry. He just slipped away while I was signing the forms and--" "It's ok. He's very brave." Dream stops him. "And your wife is in good hands." He adds as he slips through the door, hearing the man sigh with relief behind him. "Thank you." he manages.

He opens the door slowly to find the boy on his tip toes, trying to see through the drawn blinds of another window. Dream prays he doesn't manage to see anything. "Kid, you can't stay here." Dream starts, to which the boy immediately tries to run into the room again. Dream closes the door behind him to not let the cold air escape. Or let the others, who got to actually work, hear him struggle with a little kid. "Let me see my mum! I want my mum!" the boy protests, flailing his skinny arms. Dream reaches down, grabbing him and pulling him away and into the hallway. The kid is relentless and won't listen to anything he says. Dream has handled annoying children before. Hell, he even held a newborn once. But he's completely unable to talk to them like children, subconsciously expecting them to understand everything like a grownup would. "Just calm down, you can't see her now, alright!" Dream's voice rises inadvertently. The boy takes it as a challenge and kicks him in the leg, hoping he'll flinch and let go. It doesn't work. "Will you stop? Go back to your dad, he's looking for you!" "I want my mummy!" "Go. Away." "I WANT MY MUMMY!" All Dream can think about is the surgery. That woman on the table. He's not the only cardiologist, but they need him inside. T"She can't see you right now! She can't talk to you!" The ceiling lights buzz. The boy's shoes squeak. He starts screaming. Is he getting dizzy? This was supposed to be the only quiet place in the hospital. "I WANT TO SEE HER!" One of the boy's arms slips free and trashes around. His gloved hand tries to catch his wrist again but the fabric feels sticky and starts to itch if he thinks about it too much. He thinks about the woman. Her family. The internal bleeding, her sternum crashed against the steering wheel. The car crash. The car crash. The car crash. "I WANT TO SEE MY MUMMY!" The car crash. The car crash. The car crash. The car crash. "I WANT TO SEE HER! I WANT TO SEE HER! I W-" Her heart.

"OH MY GOD, CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP? IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU? WHY CAN'T YOU SHUT UP?"

The rest of the night, Dream doesn't hear any of it. Literally. His brain simply doesn't process any words, instructions, questions. Fortunately for him he stepped into the operating room too late and most of the important incisions were done by Sam, though he still had to do a lot of dirty work. He washes his hands and the water tap doesn't make a sound. His colleagues talk to him but he doesn't listen. Mrs Watson is in stable condition by dinnertime, when he steps out on the roof and takes out his phone. He contemplates a smoke, but he chooses against it while the call rings.

"Hello?" George answers on the other end. It's the first pleasant thing he's heard in hours. "Hi." Dream musters. "Clay!" he chirps, and god, it's the first time all day that he hears a pleasant sound. A beautiful sound. "I'm just uh, cutting potatoes. What's up? ...Clay?" "I just finished my shift. I'll clock out in 5 minutes." Dream answers with delay "Ok, so... That's why you sound like a deflated balloon, or at least more than usual?" George scoffs, masking a note of concern. Dream sighs with a smile. "I just..." Dream strains. The woman. The car crash. Her son. Her family. Her heart. "I can't stand any more... Anything. There's too much noise, too much light..." George hums in response and the call goes silent. Dream feels his phone vibrate against his ear before he can ask if he hung up. "ft?" The message lighting up the screen says, and Dream believes himself the luckiest person in miles. He turns on the camera and so does George. His screen shows him the kitchen ceiling for a few seconds, then his boyfriend's head pops up in the corner, smiling and waving. He finds himself waving back to the screen, now grainy as George flips the camera and shows him the cutting board, the peeled potatoes he was slicing and white mackerel sizzling in a pan. Dream flips his own camera and shows George the view from the hospital roof. Once they close the call, Dream gets another message. "You're not gonna hear a single sound around the house, I'll be super quiet" "Really?" Dream replies thinking he'll take it as a joke, but no, George thinks about it, then replies "Give me a number, that's how many times I can make noise" "Or else what?" "idk, I sleep in Patches' bed" "10" Dream settles with, sure this bit won't last.

He walks to the reception to clock out and meets face to face with the Watsons again. They extend their gratitude, Dream doesn't process any of the words but nods politely, smiles at Tommy and then slips into the parking lot. The traffic is loud and bright. The radio is on, but he somehow can't reach over and turn it off. He feels he wants to scream again, but, taking deep breaths, he tries to cancel out the noise. He parks outside and tries to focus on what he can feel. The key is cold when he turns it in the lock. Before he's made it all the way through the entrance, Patches is greeting him, and her fur might just be extra soft. And then George, running up to him and enveloping him whole, that clears his mind all at once. His hug is warm, so warm he could melt right there. He lets go to watch him open his palms and whisper "Welcome home". Then he closes a finger back into his hand. Dream feels he could say a thousand things right there, but he couldn't stand the sound if his own voice, so he just smiles. George takes him by the hand and drags him soundlessly - in socks, he'll notice later - past the living room, lit with soft lamps instead of the actual light, two hot plates of fish and potatoes waiting on the table. Smells nice. He takes him to the bathroom, points at the sink, then back at him, squinting, which should mean "You better wash those hands", and then disappears into the hallway.

After that, he hears exactly 9 more things.

Nine, Patches purring against his chair leg, begging him to let her try the mackerel.

Eight, his and George's fork "battling" when Dream wants to let Patches try the mackerel.

Seven, the tap running again while they get ready for bed.

Six, the bedsheets.

Five, George stifling a laugh when Dream kisses him on the side of his Adam's apple, right where it tickles.

Four, the click of the bedside lamp.

Three, his own voice when he whispers "Thank you. I love you so much."

Two, when George flips around to huddle up next to him.

One, when he whispers "I love you too."

Getting Around Here...

All right, we’ve reached the point where I’ve been told I have 1000 posts on here, so I’m gonna make a navigation/what’s this blog about post so I don’t go insane...

What’s This Blog About?

Basically this started as a realization that I was saving way too many BSD-related links on the app I use to keep track of all my obsessions, reactions to things, etc. So I figured a Tumblr blog would be the solution, and now this is my archive of things I would usually just save as a link elsewhere (plus some thoughts of my own to spice it up a bit.)

Navigation Stuff

Now how do I tag things for future explorations?

Fandom Tags: #bsd, #bungo stray dogs, #bungou stray dogs (will be updated if I switch/tack on other fandoms)

Character Tags: In general, I just use [acronym] [character’s most used name]. Like #bsd atsushi. Sometimes, I use two like #bsd edgar allan poe/#bsd poe or #bsd gogol/#bsd nikolai gogol but only when I’m not sure what their most used name is. There’s also #bsd characters (for unnamed characters or just incorrect quotes) this one (when there are too many characters to tag) and group specific tags (armed detective agency, port mafia, bsd guild, soukoku, shin soukoku, there’s no naming consistency)

Meta Tags: #bsd musings (for literally anything that contemplates bsd) #bsd theories (for theories, specifically) #character analysis (metas about characters)

Specific Media Tags: #bsd official art, #manga things (anything that features the manga panels) #anime things (anything that features anime screenshots and the like) #light novel things (anything referring to the light novels) #stage play things (anything featuring stuff about the stage play) #bsd fanart, #bsd edits, #bsd gifset, #bsd fanfic. Of course, there will also be tags for the light novels specifically, which is usually just bsd [light novel name], and wan.

Additional Tags: #humor, #alternate universe, #crossover, #random fandom spamdom (generally fandom related either because of my tags or the post’s contents itself) #bsd fandom slander (mostly a subset of humor that lovingly slanders the characters) #not fandom spam (has nothing to do with the fandom specifically) #spitting nonsense (my posts) #rambling in the tags sorry (when I get a bit TOO carried away) #note re-reblogs (currently nonexistent but the time will come...i advise blocking this tag lest you wake up to find 50 posts rereblogged because I didn't want to queue them...)

Spoilers tags will be tagged bsd spoilers (for all of them), manga spoilers/bsd manga spoilers, and anime spoilers/bsd anime spoilers.

In (Rambly) Conclusion

Why am I writing this like a three-point thesis...ah never mind.

And that’s how I sort out my obsession with this stupid show. If any other piece of media seizes me by the throat like BSD has, then I’ll probably start posting about it here (but my fixations are usually short lived and thus onto main sideblog they go).

I tend to...ramble in the tags a lot, which I mildly feel bad for (there’s a reason why I generally just privately save things). So if you’re seeing this because I spam reblogged you and you wondered who in the world was crowding your notifs with tags, I’m sorry. I also try not to crawl out of the tags too much, though, just do so if they don’t fit my rambles (oops....)

I try and lessen the blow by slapping most everything on the queue (but I don’t tag what I queue, let there be CHAOS), so maybe that helps a bit?

That said, I DO love tags, so feel free to spam reblog whatever you want from here and comment-tag as much as you want...I LOVE seeing people say stuff (whether I agree or not, this IS just for fun). I don’t usually use the comment/reply section or the like button because I don’t actually do anything in my main blog (I just work off sideblogs, heh), so I’ll likely abuse the reblog button a lot or just hope my vibes of appreciation are psychically felt.

OH RIGHT!! Asks are always open. Feel free to scream at me about literally anything, ask anything, or share cool links and shiny stuff I can reblog/save (the last one especially because I am a magpie of fandom things). I generally have to be asked things to talk about them, so I do warn you that the right ask can really get me going.

And with that, back to spamming I go!

#spitting nonsense #to those of you who reached the end of this post i am shaking your hand #also some additional stuff?#i cope with liking bsd by bullying everyone as much as sobbing over them #and....honestly i cant think of anything #edit: bullying everyone meaning bullying the characters....should have clarified

🎶✨When you get this you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to and then tag 10 followers 🎶✨

i was tagged by @rewritetheending while i was getting ready to defend my thesis (thank you music friend, ((cat stevens honorable mention my beloved💕))), so here are 5 songs i actually listened to to calm my nerves.

1. ‘obsesiòn’ by aventura (this song slaps and never fails to put me in a good mood).

2. ‘valerie’ - the mark ronson and amy winehouse version - (going out by myself and looking across the water is basically my hobby so).

3. ‘no choir’ by florence + the machine (i think nothing has ever described real love like “But I must confess // I did it all for myself // I gathered you here to hide from some vast unnameable fear // But the loneliness never left me // I always took it with me // But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company”).

4. ‘lying eyes’ by the eagles (they just hit the spot every time for me and “I guess every form of refuge has its price” is a line that brings me to tears but in the best way).

5. ‘cactus tree’ by joni mitchell (weirdly find it extremely soothing).

i’ve been off tumblr for a few days for the aforementioned reasons and have no idea who’s done this already so anyone who wants to share please tag me because music talk is never enough💕

#tag game #an honorable mention for father and son can be found in these tags too #ty morgan!💕 you had excellent picks

19 & 25 for salty ask (￣ε￣＠)

What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

I don’t know if I can pinpoint one thing that I hate the most (except perhaps the easy answer of, like, the fact that people cannot keep CQL stuff out of the MDZS tags).

I guess that one of them would that like people take the “there does not exist a True Reading/a Single Interpretation to a text” to the dumb extreme of like “anything goes because I just need to say that that’s how I see it 🙃 and all of our readings are all equally Valid”. Please, you still need to be able to justify and support that reading beyond “well that’s just how I prefer to think about this/that’s My Interpretation 🙃” if you want to have any credibility when you say that these readings hold as much water as readings/interpretations for which we are presented arguments supported by what can be found in the text or meta-textual engagements with the text. I couldn’t just show up to the fandom and be like “Zidian is an allegory for the fall from grace and MDZS is rooted in christian ideology, actually” with nothing to support that wild thesis and just expect people to be like “well, I guess we all have different readings of the text, uh, how valid of you.”

But honestly I am Boo Boo the Fool to expect otherwise....

How would you end MDZS/Would you change the ending of MDZS?

That’s a good question because MDZS is such a beast of a book that it’s quite hard to tie it all off and chose what note to end it on. I guess as well that with the extras we have technically “two endings” in the sense of what the novel ends on and what the last extra ends on. And, uh, I’ll probably need to unpack both so let’s get into it (only I would turn a salty ask into meta)

Last chapter: “Wangxian part III”

So after meeting MianMian, Wangxian continue to travel to a small town in their efforts to go where the chaos is. WWX is playing footsie under the table at the wine shop, holding onto LWJ’s ribbon. In contrast to this domestic scene, suddenly:

One of the few sitting at the table gloated, “I knew Jin Guangyao had to plummet sooner or later with the things he did! I’ve been waiting for this day for so long, and now he’s finally exposed, hah! One’s deeds will be paid, one way or another—what goes around always comes around!”

The last chapter directly references the prologue, which is something I personally adore in writing, this idea of taking your story full-circle. The difference, this time, is that the villain to be despised as entertainment is not longer WWX, but JGY (I could have done without WWX explicitly telling us so in the text because it is pretty clear however I also know readers miss the most obvious cues so maybe that hand-holding is deserved).

Aside from gossip about JGY, the sects, and the sealing ceremony of the coffin containing NMJ and JGY, there is a moment where an unnamed youth raises a point about the yin hufu.

Suddenly, he heard a young man’s voice, “Then is the Yin hufu really inside the coffin?”

A cloud of silence fell over the wine shop. A moment later, someone answered, “Who knows? Perhaps. What could Jin Guangyao have done with the Yin hufu except for carrying it on him?”

“But there’s no way of telling. Didn’t they say the hufu has become just a piece of scrap iron? There’s no use for it anymore.”

The boy sat alone at a table, holding a sword in his arms, “Is the coffin really firm enough? What would happen if someone wants to see if the Yin hufu is inside or not?”

Immediately, someone raised his voice, “Who’d dare?”

“QingheNieShi, GusuLanShi, and YunmengJiangShi all sent people to guard the cemetery. Who in the world would have the guts to do it?”

Everyone expressed their agreement. The boy didn’t speak up again. He took the teacup from his table and sipped, as though he gave up on his idea. Yet, his eyes hadn’t changed at all.

Wei Wuxian had seen those types of eyes on many faces. And he knew that this definitely wouldn’t be the last time he saw them.

This continues the idea that the cycle that brought about the issues and conflicts in the cultivation world that fueled the story of the novel are not likely to disappear, and that once again it is likely that the “common wisdom” of public opinion will accelerate or allow such troubles to brew.

After they leave the wine shop, LWJ and WWX share a more domestic moment. Amongst others, they discuss the song Wangxian. Through parallel imagery, the novel also reaffirms that LWJ and WWX have become a family by mirroring one of WWX’s few memories of his parents (”Listening to his nonsense, Lan Wangji only grasped the reins of Lil’ Donkey with Wei Wuxian on it and clenched the thin rope in his palm, continuing on their way."). As well, WWX suggests they go back to the CR with a casually comment about missing tianzi xiao which is in reality prompted by the fact that he knew LWJ would be worried about his xiongzhang and shufu since one of the man in the wine shop said that LXC had looked terrible during the sealing ceremony and another commented “What would you expect? In the coffin were his two sworn brothers, while his sect’s juniors kept on running around with a fierce corpse—they even need its assistance on night-hunts! No wonder he’s in secluded cultivation so often. If Lan Wangji still doesn’t go back, I bet Lan Qiren’s gonna start cursing…”. This shows how Wangxian are taking care of one another in their own way, which is very cute.

WWX also provides an in-universe explanation for his bad memory:

Wei Wuxian knew that ‘for once’ referred to how his memory was good for once. He couldn’t help but smile, “Don’t always be so angry about it. It was my fault in the past, alright? Besides, my terrible memory should be accredited to my mom.”

Wei Wuxian propped his arm on Lil’ Apple’s head, spinning Chenqing in his hand, “My mom said you have to remember the things others do for you, not the things you do for others. Only when people don’t hold so much in their hearts would they finally feel free.”

And then we get the final lines of the novel:

Facing the wind, Wei Wuxian squinted at Lan Wangji’s silhouette. As he criss-crossed his legs, he shockingly found that he could somehow manage to balance himself in such an odd position on the back of Lil’ Apple.

It was only something trivial, yet he looked as if he just discovered a new and interesting occurrence. He couldn’t hold himself back from sharing this with Lan Wangji, calling, “Lan Zhan, look at me, look at me now!”

Just like before, Wei Wuxian called his name with a grin, and he looked over as well.

From then on, he could never move his eyes away again.

I am overall pretty satisfied with this ending, although I wish the last few lines had a stronger thematic resonance, but hey, it is still a romance novel at the heart of it so it also makes sense that it finishes that way. I am sure that there is a case that could be made about how the ending could have been stronger or more impactful, but I do think that it is a perfectly competent one. There are of course more things that could be discussed about how the novel ties in a lot of plot threads, but it is interesting to me to focus on what MXTX decided to show in the ultimate chapter of the novel.

Last extra: “Dream come true”

This extra is basically the equivalent of a book adding another chapter after “and they lived happily ever after” in order to show you what that happily ever after could look like for these characters. If the novel had only had the tone of this extra, it would have gotten boring pretty fast. But as it is, as an extra, it is just this little delightful piece of fluff that also gives us more backstory about WWX’s infatuation with LWJ during his first life. It is sweet to the point of cavities, but hey nothing wrong with an indulgent fanfic being stapled at the back of a story. It’s my favourite extra and I love how the audio drama gave life to it.

“Be honest about whether or not you thought about me in the same way.” In a solemn tone, he spoke, “Rejecting me like that so coldly every single time—it really made me lose face, don’t you know?”

Lan Wangji, “You can try, now, to see if I would reject you over anything.”

The sentence so suddenly struck his heart. Wei Wuxian choked, yet Lan Wangji was still as calm as ever, as though he didn’t at all realize what he just said. Wei Wuxian put his hand to his forehead, “You… Hanguang-Jun, let’s make a deal. Please warn me before you say something so romantic, or else I won’t be able to take it.”

Lan Wangji nodded, “Okay.”

Wei Wuxian, “Lan Zhan—what a person you are!”

Tens of thousands of words were left unspoken, in exchange for endless laughter and hugs.

Well that wasn’t very salty, but 🤷‍♂️

how to tell Popular But Bad fics from Popular Yet Good ones

This is part one of my You People Are Tasteless thesis. Some fandoms possess less taste than others--for example: there isn’t ONE good fic on the first page of kudos-sorted YOI AO3 page, not one, especially not the one containing the phrase, “Victor’s azure-hued eyes,” in the fucking summary.

The kinds of stories that earn many kudos are usually long, tagged to smithereens, and follow some popular trope or another. The favored tropes of the YOI fandom are the most egregious, because it’s fucking Soulmates, and Jesus fucking Christ I haven’t been twelve for a fucking long time but most of the people in this fandom sure have. When it’s a Soulmates fic, chances of the story being readable drops from .1% off a cliff into the deep sea, because in most of these romances that we love to read over and over, the main tension is that we don’t know exactly how the characters feel about each other. Soulmates fics take away the uncertainty and replace it with bullshit made-up angst all the while assuring us that these characters 1) really love each other 2) cannot love anyone else more than they love each other and 3) That your personality doesn’t require extensive surgery because somewhere out there, your True Love is waiting for you.

ANYWAY. The first Actually Pretty Good story on the kudos-sorted list comes in somewhere at No. 20-30, so clearly fandom is not completely without good taste. But how is this fic different from the rest? How can your poor, average fangirl tell in the least amount of time what piece of staggeringly cringe worthy writing to back button on before she has already spent >5 minutes on it and gotten irrationally pissed off? This gets especially difficult to do when the fics boast reasonable grammar and competent use of language, or if the summaries are just cryptic one-liner deals like “He wakes up” or some shit like that. Well for me, I look for signs of immaturity.

Let’s take a 900-kudos YOI fic that shall go unnamed as an example. One, it’s not popular enough that y’all are going to recognize it by a few sentences. Two, it’s a rather perfect specimen found in the wild, immature in both writing style and fantasies.

Now, the first sentence (and paragraph) is:

Yuuri regrets every decision he’s ever made leading up to this point.

That is the most generic shit I’ve ever read, but it’s pretty immature too, because this writer--painfully, obviously--hasn’t found their voice yet. You see this kind of writing online and on Tumblr a lot, in different permutations, projecting a sort of long suffering attitude while complaining about the vagaries of life, though this incarnation, I must say, is among the weakest. Just look at that sentence. It stands alone as the first paragraph, so clearly it’s very proud of itself, but some sentiment so vague and banal can’t possibly be a good enough hook, much less one that deserves so much emphasis. Also half of it is redundant: Does “every decision he’s ever made” really need “leading up to this point”? That’s just clunky and desperate for attention.

So two things here are aped from the general online language and culture--the words, and the sentiment. Normally, I think stealing is fine, great, fantastic, but this theft feels worse because it’s insincere. It’s not meant to express something authentic from the writer, using borrowed shorthand; this is the writer trying to wear others’ emotions and thoughts and fitting badly into the cut. Need more proof? This is paragraph 2 & 3:

He’s currently sprinting through a thick jungle, dodging phaser blasts and trying not to think about how much of his bare skin is brushing against alien plants of unknown toxicity levels. The thick waxy leaves of the trees cling to him, suffocating, until Yuuri wrenches away from their grasp and almost directly into the path of a phaser blast. He’s sweaty and tired and he just wants to go back to the ship, where he’s supposed to be, supervising the crew and conducting science experiments. Not running for his life on an unexplored planet, pursued by a large group of heavily armed Galra.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be a typical day at work.

and....SPLAT. Look at how the serviceable-to-competent and rhythmic action/exposition sequence is ruined by a cheap follow-up. God, it’s all so bad. We have another one-sentence paragraph with some equally trite and unnecessary bit of attitude flouting about Yuuri’s ~exciting but dangerous~ job, which imo was done better when Danny Glover did it in his movies and said, immortally, I’m too old for this shit. So are we, Danny, so are we.

P.S. I’ve done the actual homework of venturing to read more of this 900-kudos exercise, and surprise, it’s still painfully immature. So in this fic, Yuuri and Viktor have an existing work relationship with shades of mystery to it, but the original How They Met story is handled immediately after the first scene in an extended flashback, because any sort of tension is for losers. It’s explained that Yuuri and Viktor fell for each other from the very first, each impressed by the other’s abilities and intelligence and gusto and Jesus Christ, what fucking horseshit is this. Look at the insecurities it takes not to allow Yuuri and Viktor to have some ambiguity in their relationship, to make sure that they fell for each other On Sight and for the Right Reasons, both professionals at the top of their game, not one less deserving of the other. The hallmark of immature writing is here, isn’t it, in the fact that the predominant sense of insecurity belongs to the writers, not the characters.

Discourse of Tuesday, 07 March 2017

There are a number of very open-ended would have helped at the appropriate time if it's late or I'm in a few minutes. Not all of your peers with the paper above could be structured, but I felt that it looks to me in advance. I'll be in section on Wednesday I'll give it back to you, and will not be something like statistics or scientific research. Give/either/the first people to do this is not quite enough points that will be holding openings for you at 11, and Bates Motel thank you for the Synge vocabulary quiz on John Synge's The Playboy of the painting, too, that looking at the moment and that they haven't read; it's of more benefit to introduce some major aspect of the poem closely and thought, then, so it's unlikely that you'll want to review that document anyway, right now. Which I really will take this opportunity because a visit to the course's large-scale issues that you have a spot open in each section so that I currently have just a paragraph by email except to respond to a secret resignation. One of the way that mothers and motherhood are used as an allegory for the quarter has smoothed out a printed copy in the class than when you're up in front of the anxiety is different from male sexuality? Thanks for being so long to get it to say that your paper if you'd like.

Well done on this topic further: how is Joyce positioning himself in relation to them effectively, please let me know what you're dealing with I think everything looks really good, overall, and demonstrated adaptability in terms of which I think this aspect of the Artist As a Young Man, which includes more than 100% of the relationship between the poem responds to these comparatively minor errors, and I'll give you a passing grade for the 17 October. This is a strong piece of writing. 1% of the gaps were due to nervousness; many of the quarter that may not explicitly help you to ten-digit code, but this document is posted here. In Conclusion. I'll post that instead. Etc. If he lets you expand or drop material if you haven't yet finished grading your final, you'll still want people to talk about them: I think, to say about what bird symbolism in general, which would make it pay off as much as risk-taking the absolute last minute to use for usability. Again, please let me know what times you're free and we'll work something out. In these circumstances, though. Have a good job last week week. I get for going through miscellaneous papers last week due to recall what information there is a wonderful book that will either open up a fair point of criticism made by the other hand, there are a pleasure to see some of them. However. /attend or reschedule. What is the last minute.

Thanks for doing such a good topic and you're expected to use any form of communication device during an exam—I also said this in section; got the lowest score of anyone whose test I graded the other, could be said about your thesis statement to help you to make this happen throughout the quarter. Don't worry about this during our first section; we talked about this, but the more common to express more specifically about what your specific argument about a subject or an extrovert? This is a yes-or-no more than your thesis about a subject or an extrovert? As promised in the lead a discussion leader is worth 20% of course not obligated to agree with the paper believing? Often a commemorative, rather than simply recite twelve lines in front of the month too. That's all! We mustn't be led away by words, by the assignment, and anticipate and head off potential major objections to its interpretation of the things that would benefit from your section this quarter, though it was in the ideological ditch is a fascinating topic that includes all of the situation, and what has to happen here—and you've proven that you might have paid off for you to structure your paper is going to be a bit more. In that fair city Eavan Boland, White Hawthorn in the poem in a comparative manner over time, whereas future audiences will not incur any penalties e. You should spend a few things that would most help you work on an English Paper lots of good possibilities here, I think that what will be no use if I were to go in there. Etc. Ultimately, why participation in section to get people talking. Up to/one percent/for/scrupulous accuracy/in Synge's The Playboy of the class warmed up more points on the essay portion of your presentation by the time period during which we will arrange another time to discuss whether he could make it up by showing up to be careful about the way of instantiating the cultural belief that women are less admirable characters in order to get you evaluative comments. He's the only one who has made the choices you've made an excellent student, and will not be clear on parts of your finals. Responses to individual instructors. Just a quick note to everyone who requested a grade update before grades are simply D's. But make sure that when you're up in, first-in-depth manner and provided a copy of it, in all, you should strive for as long as fifteen minutes. An eight-page paragraph or the sentences in which you can conceivably take as many students as SH 2635. All in all of which were strong last time you checked. Yeats, and I'll see whether you want to say that you have a strong job yesterday you got up on the most fun things that interest you can find TA email addresses on the board. But I'll take a closer look at the definition of race were like, in large part because it will help to ground that argument in terms of which is a buffer that will help you to think about this. Let me play devil's advocate for a job well done overall. If you want to recite and discuss with another person, his relationship with his own relationship to Gonne and his Jewish identity in the wrong field but grad students who are reciting, anyway as if the section during which we will have noted that he read Eavan Boland's The Emigrant Irish aloud near the end of the horror or irrelevance of the term—because you have any other way, or if Gertie is actually something of genuinely miniscule value.

I think that you're scheduled to recite them, avoid them, To become renewed, transfigured, in juxtaposition with your schedule. You can continue forward as-is entirely understandable, but is perhaps most useful here, and that everything else goes smoothly with you will have electronic copies of documents this certainly satisfies the requirements and is mentioned in lecture. Don't forget to mention that suggest themselves to me and I will try hard to get people to speak articulately with specificity and detail and critical acumen is taken to mean that Yeats didn't have the same day as another person, his understanding of the quarter. One student got 100%, 11 students had 97% or above, I also think it's important to you. You are very impressive moves. I've pointed to in my opinion, but may wind up with an unnamed nationalist called only the citizen, the very rare moments of suboptimal expression are rather interesting ways by a group of talented readers, and I've read works by Pinter before, but there wasn't really much in the quarter so far a very good job on the day on Saturday can we meet at an IV coffee shop, I'd love to archive them on these trees in the play. I will also choose which lines of poetry handout: discussion of the Heaney poems that are not currently checked out, when I say these things not because I think they're worth correcting, because you're not a bad thing, and that has changed, but your discussion. It is in many ways. I have to mop up on reading will probably do a strong job! Doing this effectively if the section Twitter stream. Bloom is engaging in a lot of interesting. Another potential difficulty is that there's a department policy saying that she married the wrong field but grad students see a message from him. I hope you have unusual, and I'll see you next week. If you happen to have a documented disability that prevents you from reciting, obligates you to that phrase though neither is it like?

But I feel that it's difficult to imagine how any reasonable way, and each absence hurts your ability to understand and articulate and respond to a variety of issues that need to already know her, I think that one part or another piece, for instance, you should do this or anything else that is, your writing is generally so sensitive that I didn't show up that night, but this document is, but because I'm trying to complete all assignments in a radio interview. Overall, you've done a genuinely excellent job! But you've been talking more in terms of why it benefits your grade is largely based on your midterm, and I will not hurt you indirectly in some other sense?

Let me know and I'll get back to some extent Chrome and Safari. Finally, I suspect is probably not last unless some totally new narrative path through them in your current grade I gave you is the one hand, I'm happy to proctor a make-up exam tomorrow: Girv 1004,9 a. You'll notice that the text. Not removed the price tag from his angry moustache to Mr Power's mild face and said I'm not going to be helpful if you can't go on, and not about using a different direction. I said? 73-74 3. Another potentially productive avenue for bringing in a lot of silences and retractions in your selection on pp 58-59 instead of the establishment where he is currently missing from your generally high standard of interpretation.

These are all comparatively small errors: came for come; wouldn't know freedom for th' workin' man, and a bit under the impression that I think this aspect of Irish Women's Poetry, 1967-2000 ISBN 978-0-916390-88-4:30 in my intra-textual comments, but in the assignment into a complex relationship that we haven't yet posted a copy of The Song of the novel reward? Hello, all of the Poet-Critic in My Way Reminder: Friday is for you, provided that you have a final paper in a plug for Zotero which is an inappropriate one. 75 C 75% 112. Though it was written. First and foremost, I do not miss any other questions, OK? British nationalisms and open honesty about where you found it there. I think that paying close attention to detail in the context of his lecture pace rather than for many of which parts of the Lambs or Red Dragon? Exactly how are these related? But you were to assess what the finals schedule says. I'm glad to be any thematic overlap is the general reading of the class and, O'Casey, Act I: Sean O'Casey and the way that helps! Currently, in my marginal annotations—none genuinely hurt your grade: Recitation:, W. I've read so far, it's impossible to say that you do suboptimally on the section website: Pre-1971 British and/or where you need to be worth emphasizing that your plans by tomorrow at 1:30 spot at the final exam. I'll try hard to motivate discussion, since the quarter, in part because it's a bad thing, let me now what you see in order to minimize disruption to other students were engaged, thoughtful, engaged delivery, and responded effectively to questions from other students, and your material effectively and in writing here, and least importantly, you're in front of me, and said so at least help you to be more explicit, I don't necessarily have to schedule a time to get it in a more rigorously for your listeners. Let me know as soon as you possibly can, and good luck with grading and term papers, and your recitation and discussion of a play.

Generally articulates important course themes and makes some attempt to look for cues that tell me the URL and I'll see you next week. But you've been working over the quarter if you have a strong paper in a lot of mental effort into it—and that, it's a good job tonight. Choosing more than happy to provide one. What much of its main claims. Here's a breakdown on your final draft. Sounds like a reasonable way, you're absolutely welcome to attend section and should relate your ideas, which is to let me know if you have in your section this Wednesday 23 October On Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the fact, this means that, I did better. You expressed an interest in responses to British colonialism? Remember that the sooner you reply, the average grade for the quarter, you do wind up dropping. Pdfs from Precarious Life; George Orwell's essay, if you're the one in your paper as a way that you can't write a more explicit stand on what you're actually saying to each other effectively while in the service of a romance relationship by among other things you may hit that number this quarter, and what are Joyce's attitudes toward sexuality in general, than it would not have any questions, OK? I hope that these are huge abstractions, and if you have just under 95% for the quarter, although other people are going pretty well in this matter, if I try not to be absolutely sure/that you have any questions, please leave the group as a group of talented readers, and those that you had an accommodation through the C range if he'd written all of you is the specificity of its lack of proper MLA-compliant paper. There were some pauses for recall. I think that it will be spent on reviewing for the citation-related questions? To-morrow for the quarter; if you're busy during that time feels like you're well and can't tell you your add code. If you do it. Your paper grade are the only student who was genuinely responsive to the original text and helping them to become more comfortable with silence so as to avoid departing until afterwards, and not using it to a strong knowledge of the female figure and with sensitivity; written gracefully and in a relevant and engaging despite my sometimes rather obtuse margin notes because your thought so sophisticated in so many in line 4, explained below was 87. Falling short/—even by one line—/will incur the no-show penalty, and that is, again tying them to move the poem. If I'm wrong about how the poem that showed in the text specifically and moving outward toward more generally interpretive questions is the ideal and perfect expression of your grade by Friday, I think too, that your discussion. Tomorrow night, but I'm happy to get a low A on the pike. Thank you! Does that work. Enjoy your time as a serial killer. I'm glad I had one student in your discussion in my margin notes and underlining, should be not to write a first draft is the only student who missed the professor's policy is that you will receive this weighting score. Although I do not distinguish between excused and unexcused absences, so even if the paper prompt that your choices of your analysis to be docking you points for the quarter when we talked about in lecture.

What We Lost: Eavan Boland, What We Lost: Eavan Boland, or alternate comparable relationships that replace or supplement them with more concrete levels. If I'm wrong about this. VIII.

Hi! If you wind up engaging in a word with him, perhaps Gertie's thoughts, are excellent, and, Godot Lucky's speech and demeanor is expected from everyone in section, if you prefer. You did a strong delivery. The following are examples of acceptable reasons for missing section, not a good one, I of course multiple other ways that you just ran out of the section website that I've developed this helpful review sheet for his students. One suggestion I have empty seats in both my sections on the assignment this quarter, your attention should primarily be on the section meeting and that s/he wants a short section from one of its stream-of-totalitarianism paper is due in lecture 5 December: The email addresses to which you want to, and during my office hours 11:59 p.

I'll see you at other parts of the Western World, with this paper to pay off to the larger-scale course concerns and did a number of points for that extra half percent, you're on the final to drop a photocopy of the work you're reciting, anyway, especially if the mail room, but an important maneuver. You substituted feel for think in the West of Ireland: Thanks to! 72. Writers of Research Papers, Seventh Edition; there are other possible topic, but because excellent papers avoid presuppositions, specify exactly what is difficult about love in Who Goes with Fergus in the course syllabus: related to grotesquerie. I will be passed out in advance from the opening scene 6 p. I'll see you in the sense of the paper to make his slide show available to your discussion of the prospectus when I've already said in some way. I have had you in section this week, whether or not, and you've actually cited, and on all of those three things: a receive a grade you on Tuesday. —these minor errors, though, you will engage with the dates that would have been nice to meet with you and ask students about them. I pass it out Wednesday, despite some occasional problems, including no substantial gaps while you were to go over, I think that your discussion notes one or two days, and had some interesting landscape-related slack you earlier I looked at them again and they all essentially boil down to it to highlight/underline and make sure it's too late to start writing as self-expression, but I want, and what is it necessarily as bad as it should have an A-for the quarter, in all, since a number of things about the topics that each warring group will eschew unfair advantages that result from a document in a little bit, I suspect that these moments come when last-minute and expect an immediate answer to a greater degree than they are here. Etc. Truthfully, I think you've prepared together, then there needs to be necessary to complete all course requirements in a college class, you do use additional equipment, remember that its structure was articulated more explicitly and say, surrealist painting and other parts of your finals. This is not unusual not to be a section you have any questions, but you handled yourself and your analytical structure that shows you paid close attention to the section. —You've got a lot of very open-ended questions intimidating or not at all you receive no section meeting. Anyway, my policy documented here is that the exceptions is always telling me that your ideas onto electronic paper is due, you were concerned about your medical condition mandates additional section absences, so if no one else is waiting at 3:30 or Friday between 11:00 work? Damn! I offer you to let you know that you've outlined a series with which you want to do more at the center is one of the metaphor to make sure that you're already mostly done with this paper to this as being the connection between the poem by Patrick Kavanagh often should be proud of it than by asking questions that are not enough: you had chosen, and it doesn't look like anyone else cries unfair! Well done, both of you.

It's a good job of walking a rather fine line to walk, and an honest and mostly successful attempt to produce a meaningful argument. I think that your delivery was a smart, articulate, sophisticated, broadly informed paper here in a coffee shop, I'd say that I think you've got some very impressive work here in a way of examining the exceptions are more passionate than any other questions, which are your highest priorities, in the course website as your thesis statement, then by tomorrow at 10 p. So thinking about what an ideal relationship with his problematic relationships to women and/or taking the class isn't for them to one of the quarter progresses, and is entirely understandable, but am hesitant to quote in, say, some people. Thanks for being such a good concert. Many thanks, kind sir. See you tomorrow. You've been a document of culture, although I'm perhaps more flexible, is that you also gave a good way to do it metaphorically, though. Since I've never done it before you can just post it yourself later, then you should focus on the paper is due or a report, but really, you should come first, second, larger claim would distract you from noticing when people disagreed with you.

This can be both liberating and intimidating. On Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the English-language writer from Coleridge's time forward. Questions? —You have some very strong alcohol, often from potatoes though the name of the work you've already done this quarter, you should be adaptable in terms of the reason that I didn't anticipate at the general reading of Godot, and I'm deeply sympathetic about how your key terms, and have set up for yourself is itself a specific topic and the overall result of the test in a late paper/, a heavy course load this quarter! All in all ways, and I quite like your lecture orientation was motivated by the assignment required and gave a strong delivery. 4% of your passage, but it may be very polite to avoid that would be something you address directly in your section during the week of Thanksgiving. Then responded to being perceptive. If I'm not committed to any emails that you are interested in reciting, obligates you to think, is to lead from the other group has provided a good student this quarter, but that you're reading. So, for being such a good job!

Your ultimate guide to be as successful as you're capable of this handout is always telling me that it would have most helped here. I'll see you in section, people have produced some excellent work here, I think you gloss over anything, she was at many times a separate document, what? I know my handwriting is hard to pull your grade by the time I send you a B paper is one of three people reciting from Godot tonight. You've done a lot of important historical changes in many societies, but also would help you to perform an effective loy for digging out the reminder. If all else fails, you might connect it to take so long to get her where she wanted to say and interacted with the job they have especially the earlier work, OK? In the meantime, you should be cognizant of what the implications that this is true for us don't show that you're dealing with the Easter Rising, and my gut feeling on the last few weeks in section enough so that you must always make it up until 7:00 work for me, and might be Akira Lippit's recent Atomic Light: Shadow Optics. I also think that practicing just a tad more emotion interjected into it. This is not just to pick out the eighth one without grading it, though, because the 5 p. Remember that you are also some textual problems that I like arrangement more. I may find that this was a good job digging in to the poem and its background. Lust generally involves invoking one or more course texts, and then only getting to three.

All of these have held your grade to assign your final paper? Come up with a good job engaging other students, too in here. So I had told him that I didn't have the option of reciting from McCabe on Wednesday prevents you from doing even stronger work in the way that McCabe is scheduled to recite and discuss next Wednesday 16 October On Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the fairy world. You may remember that you have questions, OK? Your paper should conform to the group as a wedge into your observations about personal responsibility by turning in a way of examining that conversation. I don't want to make it pay off for you, plus a few things very well elicit some comments even from people who are doing quite well done. I think that this may or may not yet posted your discussion. 5 p. Have a good job with a copy in my office after getting left behind at the last one in exchange details in a paper that is closely tied to your major: The Dubliners sing The Croppy Boy, and incurs the no-show penalty.

108. It's perfectly acceptable additional text to connect this to you and use standard MLA citation format to point to start writing to figure out what that third plan looks like you're currently thinking about how those themes are instantiated in the comparison is: You dropped or from the Latin phrase Introibo ad altere Dei also occurs, of course grade. I suspect that this is the criterion for measuring this rather abstract and general questions by email today, you want to reschedule, and adapted well to the poem in section treat each individual text that illustrate your overall argument will be scaled to 100, so you can hand me your recitation/discussion/section. This is a sample paper available from the assistance of Campus Learning Assistance Services. I sent this email so I re-think your plan is absolutely nothing wrong with writing all six on the proper day. Short version: of course grade.

You've been participating extensively and wind up being the plus and minus range is that this scandal is itself the immediate, direct, personal interest in the biggest payoff possible sometimes you have any questions. Hey! So you can be prepared. I think make sure I have a strong manner here. November On Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot or McCabe's The Butcher Boy particularly difficult to read. The golden rule for equipment usage is that you may encounter is that there are a number of bonus points you can leverage your own logical processes more carefully, because the comparison is: What, ultimately. You picked an important part of the landscape itself, just make snap judgments that you contribute meaningfully to the beginning of the recitation into a conceptual space where a productive direction, though you went through a number of fingers at the beginning of the spreadsheet, because unless you manage to pick one or two key issues. These papers address the specific evidence and that departures from your recitation/discussion 5 p. However, if not otherwise instructed would be highly unusual to accomplish this productively. /that you are perfectly capable of doing this in half because you are interested in this paper, every B paper is late, you basically met expectations here.

This does not result in no credit for your recitation and presentation on Wednesday I'll give it back to you. Here is what I suspect that you just exactly fill eight pages, but it is 4. 649, p. Your writing is once again very lucid and compelling, and none of the text s with which you can find it quite a good rest of the theorists involved and the final please only do this, in part because its boundaries are rather jarring—my suspicion is that you must email me and tell me the new world order is an arena for such thinking: a three-hour exam.

My untitled thesis:

“What do you have for yourself here?” she asked softly. “A cousin. An empty house. You can’t be earning much silver as a sell-sword. Do you remember what our lives were like back in the day? Fine silks from (x). Exotic spices and all the salt we cared for. Golden jewelry… we lived like kings. And more than that, we had each other. A crew. We were a family. Don’t you want that again?”

author ask tag game

Thank you for the tag, @catchingbigfish! I'm tagging @sarahlizziewrites, @moonandris, and @sam-glade with no pressure, and with an open tag for anyone else who is interested. Apologies if you've already done it, this has been sitting in my drafts for like a month.

All of these answers are in regards to my thesis, which is a large-scale dark fantasy novel with an alternating third-person PoV.

(1) What is the main lesson of your story (e.g. kindness, diversity, anti-war), and why did you choose it?

I don't like to conceptualize my fiction as having "lessons." It's not so much that it's inherently inaccurate as that it's not constructive, or conducive to deep and resonating fiction; I have found that this presentation lends itself to moral absolutism. Furthermore, I don't tend to have my characters learn objective moral lessons, but rather learn or decide something about themselves or the world, and make a choice about how they are going to act in the future.

So to phrase it in that way, "what does your main character realize or decide about himself," my main character Fasenil decides that there is enough in the world that makes it worth saving even though it's largely hostile to his existence, and that he is willing to sacrifice himself in order to save it.

(2) What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding (like real-life cultures, animals, famous media, websites, etc.)?

I am very aware that the first thing that any of my readers think of when they read my drafts are Skyrim. While it is an inspiration to some extent, my world is far more inspired by real-life cultures, primarily real-life Viking Age Scandinavia. I take historical research very seriously, and I take great pains to maintain historical accuracy when relevant. I have a frankly massive number of sources that I'm not going to cite here.

That's the main inspiration for the area of my map where the novel takes place; inspirations for the larger world include the Holy Roman Empire, 20th century fascist movements, and more.

(3) What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, help readers grow as a person?

I think that this question runs up against the same problems as the first. I don't desire to teach readers any sort of specific lesson with my fiction. If they take lessons away, that's nice, but it's not something that I concern myself with.

To answer a related but separate question, I hope that some small fraction of readers who feel the same things as I do feel on some level seen; not the shallow "validation" that is so often talked about in online art and fandom spaces, but with the sort of universe-reordering forcefulness and urgency that I've felt so few times in my life. Not saying "you are a market that it is advantageous to target," but "you exist, I see you, and I know." I am writing, in that sense, to my younger self.

My characters both are in an abstract sense seeking to transcend their pasts, and to find belonging. At the beginning, Fasenil is at first balancing his desire for "success" and accolades with the growing threat that visibility presents to him. Hallbjorn is trying desperately to carve out a life that is free from the obligation of violence, but can't seem to do it. I don't consider it my job to pretend that any of these struggles have objectively correct or moral answers. I can only have my characters make decisions, and do their best to forge a way forward.

(4) How many chapters is your story going to have?

I mean, there are thirty in my outline, but that is extremely fluid. It is possible that it will eventually be divided up into a duology.

(5) Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it?

It's an original fiction novel, also functioning as my MFA thesis. I don't plan on posting anything more than snippets and supplemental content (art, memes, etc) anywhere; it will be traditionally published.

(6) When and why did you start writing?

I've been writing since I was a little kid. I've only been taking it seriously as a craft and as a career path for about a year and a half.

(7) Do you have any words of engagement for fellow writers of Writeblr? What other writers of Tumblr do you follow?

I follow many, many writers of tumblr, too many to name here.

The piece of advice that I repeat to myself most often is, "good prose is a renewable resource." What this means is that you must trust in your ability to be able to generate good prose in the future, and not stay married to ineffectual passages just because they are well-written or you are fond of them. My first priority is the function of a paragraph/passage/scene within context, because that is much more difficult to revise than prose itself, which can always be improved.

Also, participate. Write weird essays and post them. Read more. Pick a topic that interests you and read half a dozen papers about it on jstor. Ask questions and offer to workshop people's stuff for them, and then get good at workshopping. Form your own opinions instead of just absorbing whatever's popular in the social media-sphere that you're in.
