genuinely pls consume the media that compels you and not the media that I your random follower think you should but all this talk of bad tma takes has reminded me that I would love nothing more than if you became a thebrightsessions enjoyer. pls I've seen so many bad takes I'm so starved for nuance you're so good at having correct smart takes

fic writer asks! 3, 11, 15, 17?
ah THANK U <3 <3
3. what fic are you emotionally attached to?
it's hard not to be the most attached to the sunset motel au bc it took so damn long to write lol and also bc i had a vision and i feel like it came out exactly the way i wanted it to. plus poor kids mouthing off to rich people is where it's at for me :) there's nothing i love more :) for my smaller fics i'm v attached to rebuke prom au bc best friends are made for kissing lbr. and also that particular luke is my fucking Baby
11. Has a fic you’ve written ever caused issues/controversy?
idk if this counts as an issue or controversy? but i'd written a fic in a previous fandom about a queerplatonic relationship that included an aromantic character (back during the height of a/ce d*scourse smh) and had someone ask me to explain the entire Concept to them, which i was totally fine with. but then they implied that physical intimacy between two people is less meaningful if they aren't in ~love and i was much less fine with that lol. so that's the only Debate and/or Discourse that's ever happened re: my fics as far as i can remember. nothing in the jatp fandom (even though i've feared it to the point of anxiety a couple times lmao)
15. How do you think your writing has improved over time?
STRUCTURE. i’ve learned way better how to create a story that flows instead of writing them like a series of Days. and freedom!!! i’ve finally thrown off my english degree bullshit where there’s only one right way to do things and now i just create! i do what i want instead of agonizing over what’s “allowed” or “correct” and it’s helped me write things that actually feel like they’re mine
17. What’s the best engagement/interaction/feedback you’ve received from someone who’s read your work?
i mean, all of it is great!!!!! all of it makes me wanna explode from happiness!!! people like my dumb little stories?? INCRED. buuuut being told by several people back in the day that one of my fics made them realize they were aro really meant a lot, as well as what you told me recently on the prom au :’) plus i’ve made a good portion of my online buddies through fic so that’s def the best kind of interaction!!
XOXOOX thanks for humoring me :)))
(from these asks)

🧑 and 🎤 for the fic ask game?
🧑 favorite character to write?
hands down, it's Marcia Overstrand. Though I also find Laura Roslin a close second (although for anyone who may look, I have not once posted a single Battlestar Galactica fic i am sorry to say)
🎤fave line in a fic you wrote?
(it's not a favorite line because i dont have one shh but uh it's one of my favorite bits)
"I open my mouth, to breathe, to scream--" she falters, choking on the words that don't want to leave her mouth.
He takes his hand off the doorknob and turns his head, looking at her over his shoulder. She's facing him, but her eyes are focused elsewhere. She holds herself tightly, as if she wants to be anywhere else.
She clamps her mouth shut, her jaw tense and tight. There are tears in her eyes as she forces her chin up, her lower lip trembling as she finally sets her eyes on him. "For help that won't come," she finishes.

please tell me about grocery shopping
ahhh hi ;; grocery shopping is another @sweetheartreggie cowrite, and it’s literally just about how bobby can’t say no to the boys because he Hates their Parents tm so when he’s like oh i’m going grocery shopping and they all want to tag along, he ends up buying them literally whatever they want, e.g.:
He’s supposed to be there for necessities. The scrawly note in his hand literally says: eggs, milk, cornflakes, bread. That’s it.
And somehow Bobby is pushing a cart that’s half full, because of conversations going somewhat like,
"Bobby, could I get--"
“Yeah, okay.”
“If Reggie’s gonna get snacks, I want--”
“Sure, Luke, whatever.”
“Can I... uh, only if it’s okay, um--”
“Fine.”
Bobby’s a disaster, he thinks grimly. He’s gone totally soft. But what is he supposed to do? Reggie is bright-eyed and giggly, racing Luke down the aisles as if they’re little kids, and even though Alex has his hands in his pockets and his shoulders at his ears, he sticks closer to Bobby than he usually would, their elbows brushing whenever Bobby adjusts his grip on the cart.
He knows that Alex never got to do this as a kid, that his mom’s intensity about health food left Alex scared to so much as touch a Goldfish cracker when Bobby first met him. Knows that Reggie barely had enough food at all. Knows that Luke has been looking out for himself since he ran away (even though he also knows that they’re not meant to know about that) and that anything that costs more than a dollar is a luxury.
And they deserve it. To be stupid kids, for a bit, grabbing chips and candy off the shelves and beaming at each other like they can’t believe their luck.
As if Bobby could say no to them.

for the fanfic ask game: F, G, M, and R?
G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
it depends. usually at least a little out of order, but if i don’t have an outline done and i don’t know where it’s going, then it’ll have to be in order unless i have a really clear idea for a scene, which doesn’t happen super often.
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?
i did get this question already, but i’ve got a few more i could share! i’ve a doc titled “rulie to rukebox kissing practice” that i’ve been sporadically working on, and i’ve got one about reggie and gender called butterflies and glitter, because he/she/they reggie is everything
R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
oh jeez. uh. not really? i’m not that aware of my writing in such an analytical way, if that makes sense. one time someone compared a story i wrote to douglas adams? but i don’t really write in a similar way to anyone on purpose
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
this is an excerpt from my bobby angst fic, ‘all this feeling second best, it’s got me by the throat.’ i really liked writing this part, since it was sort of a breath of fresh, lighthearted air after so much angst in the rest of the story. i like to think i’m good at writing dialogue, and this was really fun, especially since i got to use some memes. the boys teasing bobby my beloved <3 (it’s a bit of a longer excerpt so i’ll put it under a cut)
“Oh my god, do I have a crush on you?” He burst out.
There was a moment of silence in the studio before Alex, Luke, and Reggie started laughing, nearly falling over themselves with how hard they were cracking up.
“Stop laughing!” Bobby demanded, undermined by the giddy laughter bubbling up in him as well. “This is serious! Do I have a crush on you?”
Alex wiped tears from his eyes. “Well, I don’t know, Bobert, it’s pretty gay to kiss three dudes after confessing your undying love.”
Bobby flushed. “Alright —”
“It’s pretty gay to write songs about the three dudes you wanna kiss,” Luke teased.
“You do that! Motherfucker —” Bobby tackled Luke, wrestling him for a minute before giving up and settling back down.
“It’s pretty gay to dream about cuddling your bros every night and not even realize you’ve been pining after them for years,” Reggie said, a shit-eating grin on his face.
“I came out to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now,” Bobby said, voice muffled from where he was hiding his bright red face in his hands. A pause. “That is pretty gay, though.”
Reggie laughed and pried his hands apart to give him a kiss. “Love you, baby.”
“Love you, too,” Bobby grumbled, still embarrassed.
“I can’t believe you didn’t realize you had a crush on us,” Alex snickered. “You said you were jealous of us for how long?”
“A couple of years,” Bobby muttered reluctantly.
“Years. Years he was pining for our touch! But totally not in a gay way, no, totally not,” Alex teased, overly dramatic gestures almost hitting Bobby in the face. He shoved Alex playfully.
“I just wanted to cuddle! I never thought about kissing you,” Bobby defended himself.
Luke gave a picture perfect pout. “You never thought about kissing me? Not even once?”
Bobby avoided eye contact. “....Not extensively.”
“Ha! You did!” Luke crowed.
“It wasn’t, like, the main thing I thought about!” Bobby cried. “I was mostly just really touch starved!”
“Aw, come over here.” Reggie made grabby hands at him until he climbed over Luke, the other boy moving to the spot he just vacated, and into his arms. Upon arrival, Reggie promptly entangled himself with Bobby in an octopus-like embrace, squeezing him in a tight hug. “You don’t need to fantasize about us anymore, you can have the real thing anytime you want. No more mister touch starved, okay?”
A lump rose in Bobby’s throat. “Okay.” He nodded and buried his face in Reggie’s neck.
“So are we all dating Bobby now?” Alex asked.
“Yes, obviously,” Luke said, and then grunted like someone had just elbowed him in the gut.
“Bobby?” Alex prompted.
“Yes, we can all be dating,” Bobby said into Reggie’s collar.
“Such enthusiasm,” Alex commented.
Bobby twisted around to face Alex. “I have expressed enough emotions in the last hour to last me years. Literally. So I’m good for the next, oh I don’t know, decade?”
“There’s our Bobby, allergic to feelings again!” Luke teased.
“You know, now that you’re dating us, you’re probably gonna have to learn to be open and expressive and let yourself feel things,” Reggie said.
Bobby made a face. “Gross.”
“It’s only a matter of time, Bobster,” said Reggie. “The clock’s ticking.”
“It’ll take months or years or something, I’ve got plenty of time to be repressed before then.”
“Well then, good thing we’re not letting you go for a while,” Luke said, snuggling up against Bobby’s back to prove it. He pressed a kiss to his shoulder and Bobby hid his lovestruck smile in the crook of Reggie’s neck.
“Mmm. Good thing,” Bobby replied absently and relaxed into his boyfriends’ arms.

For the behind the scenes asks: 1, 4, 16, 18?
Me? Buzzing with excitement to respond to an ask? Always! Thank you for asking lovely. ♥️♥️♥️ I am somewhat sorry for such a long post, but I am incapable of writing small things it appears. 
1. What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?
Oh god, I think it was Harry Potter? I started out with original works before branching into fanfiction, so I’m not certain though.
4. Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline?
This one’s a bit up in the air to be honest! Sometimes I outline and sometimes I don’t. Almost always, I never outline anything under like 5k, which is normally written with a basic idea that keeps growing. There are also a number of longer things that I’ve done before that didn’t really have an outline either (some of my novellas happened this way). However, a number of my longer works do get an outline - either beginning with one or I hit a roadblock and begin to sketch an outline out and then it ends up being massive and more than I expected.
Parts of my outline go into depth and parts don’t, so as a result I usually keep pretty close to it. Occasionally an extra scene or a side character will take over a bit, but usually it’s very very close which is nice and helpful.
16. What is your most underrated fic?
Oh no, decisions. [I then leave this question blank, and forget to come back to it...] Okay, so I went back and started going through my fics and I was in struggle town, let me tell you.
In the end, I picked up two main ones that I think are my most underrated ones?
There’s the broken bones of our childhood which is an HP fic and actually sparked a piece of writing that got published online in the AZE which is neat. And the other is Everybody Knows (the deal is rotten) which is a Naruto fic that’s based on Orpheus and Eurydice and their legend, but is about family instead. One of these I appreciate because of the meaning behind it and it’s writing style, and the other was a lot of fun to write and I’m pretty proud of it.
18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.
Firstly, this assumes I remember anything I write and it doesn’t just vanish from my brain straight away. I barely know what I did yesterday, let alone an actual scene or line I wrote.
I’ve been staring at a few passages for a while, and this is awful I cannot make decisions. However! I figured I’d go with one that I haven’t mentioned in an ask response before and also isn’t too tricky to explain and comes with a good explanation? And fit my current mood I guess.
This scene comes from tonight’s our time which is a Naruto fic. It was a short fun piece to write and definitely related to something I felt back in summer. My comments are in italics.
And she reaches out, offering her hand, and Minato grips it, tight. Their hands are sweaty and gross, because of the weather and how it’s somehow still humid even as the sun sets, streaking the sky with pale purples and pinks and oranges. (Fuck yeah, I love the sunset! And the sunrise! The sky just looks so pretty almost all the time okay. But also - just the idea of people reaching out to each other even when it’s uncomfortable because they want to and they love each other regardless?)
The sky, however, is not what Kushina or Minato pay attention to. Rather, then launch forward, uncoordinated and laughing, towards where the sprinklers send water over the grass and pavement, turning it dark. (The idea of not paying attention to the sky because someone else is there and more important, more beautiful, definitely strikes a cord with me. And launching forward, laughing and unbalanced and just complete chaos? I can imagine it and it feels so good? Just letting go and- and I don’t even know, living, I suppose.)
They don’t go through the edges of the sprinkler, where the water’s a mist and light, they run through the worst of it, laughing and holding hands. Immediately, they’re soaked, clothes plastered to their skin as droplets of water run down their arms and faces and necks. Minato’s hair falls over his eyes whilst Kushina has flyaway strands finally pinned down, and she rubs a hand across her forehead, shoving them to the side so they stop irritating her. (Not gonna lie, this was partially me just working on descriptions, but hey. If it’s hot and humid and gross even at like 8.30pm, hell yeah I’m gonna run through the worst bit of the sprinkler if my friend wants too as well. That weather is gross and you’re dying, okay? Trust me on that one, it’s not fun. But, well, to meet up with a friend after so long, there’s not much I won’t do.)
Now out of the sprinkler, they turn. The weather no longer feels so hot and muggy. It’s cool and warm and the perfect temperature, even though their clothes have darkened with water and their hair will definitely turn fuzzy. (More description stuff.)
Looking at each other, they laugh, loud and wild and happy. This is, undoubtedly, what life is all about. Laughing and living, looking at each other and grinning. They’re adults but that doesn’t mean they have to leave childish acts behind them. (They’re just so happy!! They’re in their like twenties and they’re “adults” but they’re having such a fine time and they’re loving and happy and it’s just glorious. This is what we all deserve, okay? Around work and uni and life in general - we deserve to be happy and loving and loved in return, laughing and glorious and far frome alone.)
Because of the challenges I had figuring it out, there are a few of the ones I was tossing up beneath the line.
My favourite bits are in bold.
Scene from i don’t believe that love was made to break:
“Hey look,” Reggie says, “the sun’s rising.” And it is, painting the sky with colour. The sun itself is a circle of orange and the lake is fractured by every golden ray, colours rippling across the water.
Yet not one of them watches it. Instead, they are caught by each other. How the sun makes them glow. How the light gentles their faces. How they smile at each other.
The day grows warmer, the sun goes higher, and they are trapped in a single moment, aware of the way they are pressed up against each other, the way they are happy, the way they are loving without reserve.
Scene from the sea isn’t yours but you’re still the sea’s which may or may not be an AU of my own AU:
Sometimes kindness is an innate part of us, sometimes it’s there regardless of whether or not we know it. Sometimes kindness is apologising and saying ‘What can I do to help?’ Sometimes kindness is helping when help isn’t wanted but needed anyway.
In one world, there would be an information network growing in the shadows, spreading further and further with no one aware of it but one boy. In another world, there is no information network growing, but something else grows instead—hands stretching out, faces looking down. Kindness shared is kindness that can be passed on. Small things can stack, one on top of the other, and sometimes they lead to massive changes that are unforeseen. When a boy extends his hand out to a homeless child, she reaches back cautiously, but their story will end in trust and loyalty, (always).
Scene from Wayfinders‘ epilogue:
“This is what it means to be human.” The words seem to shock everyone and Toru smiles as he watches heads turn to one another, muttered discussion growing once again. “It is human to fight when the odds are against you,” he says. “It is human to say ‘we will keep living’ when it seems impossible. It is human to find a way to survive when an army marches towards you.
“It is human to fight. Sometimes this is against another opponent in a test of strength and sometimes it is against grief that threatens to overwhelm you. Sometimes you fail. Sometimes you fall. Sometimes you bow your head and give up. But you are not alone. Someone will reach ask if you’re alright. Someone will gift you a kind word. Someone will reach out a hand. There will always be someone reaching out a hand.
“A new era is dawning,” Toru lifts his chin, looks not to everyone below but to the sun overhead, shining down. “A new era is dawning and it is not one of war. It is one of peace, of love, of acceptance. It is one of kindness, of family, of friendship.” He smiles. “I speak not only to my people now, but to all of you. Let us remember hope, in times of hardship. Let us remember kindness, in times of cruelty. And let us remember to reach out and lift one another up high for you are never alone.”
(There are so many things Toru wants to say. He wants to engrave the lessons he learnt into people’s skin. He wants them to know what he does, that kindness is not a flaw, that mercy is not a weakness. But they will only learn that in time. And they have the time. They have the opportunity. Toru will see that they have all the time in the world.)
 (In the end, there is only one village that hears the words Toru does not say. One full of ghosts and laughing people. One full of refugees and fighters. One full of survivors and graves. Uzushio hears him and hears what he says with every word that escapes his lips.)
 (The sea will never die.)
