I regularly have dreams I refer to as "Big Luca Dreams", wherein my dog Luca is very big. They are my favorite dreams.

This is how big Luca is in the Big Luca Dreams

Having thoughts about how Toph found people at the Earth Rumble who treated her as an equal and respected her for her skill and listened to her. How she became the Blind Bandit there and the first people to ever take her seriously were The Gecko and Fire Nation Man and the others.

And then she joins the Gaang, people who also treat her as an equal and respect her skill and listen to her, and she starts calling them Twinkle Toes and Snoozles and Sugar Queen and Captain Boomerang.

She's giving them stage names. Because gaining her stage name was the most empowering thing that happened to her up to that point. Because stage names are earned. Because the people who were kindest to her in her life (by treating her how she wanted to be treated) were people who went by things like The Boulder.

Werewolf!Dream helps lost Robin get home.

Robin is lost. He was playing behind their new house while his da finished unpacking /boxes/ -- Robin was having too much fun playing with the boxes and daddy asked him to go play outside. Robin was looking for puddles to jump in but the weren't any right outside,,,,,,so Robin decided to venture further out into the forest. And the forest was very cool, even without puddles.

But now Robin is lost and it's getting dark. Just as Robin was going to sit down and start crying a pretty, but thin, puppy slowly walked up to him and licked his face. Robin giggled from the tickles.

Robin started to tell mr. puppy how he was lost and needed to get home to daddy. The puppy whined at him and started to walk with Robin in a direction, behind him. Robin's puppy was limping, so they walked slowly.

It was actually only a few minutes before Robin heard daddy yelling for him. Robin was so happy! He hurried mr. puppy to the break in the forest, waving to his da.

🐺🐺🐺

Now here's the thing, Robin tends to call every dog and dog-like animal, "puppy". And has been known to bury his face in to the sides of dogs twice his size. One of the reasons Hob even moved to a more suburban home, is he knew that he was going to break down and buy Robin a dog soon and dogs need space.

So imagine Hob's surprise when Robin's puppy turns out to be a shy limping giant of a wolf creature. Hob might have been absolutely disinclined to have anything to do with an animal the came up to his waist, but Robin's pleas would never fall on closed ears.

Hob's not even sure how he was able to coax the wolf dog into the house, but it was surprisingly intelligent.

🐺🐺🐺

Dream does not like humans. They are generally horrible to his kind, werewolves. And even with spending most of his time lately in his wolf-skin, Dream couldn't leave a crying child alone in the forest and it was easy enough to find his scent trail to lead him home.

Dream was just going to leave the kid at the edge of the forest, but then he saw and smelled his very handsome delicious-smelling father.

What's Hob going to do when he wakes up one morning sometime soon to a beautiful dark haired man, with blue eyes similar to Robin's missing wolf "puppy" in his livingroom? Hopefully, not hit him with that cast-iron pan.

Aww, a delightful scenario for werewolf!Dream <3

Hob is nothing if not a loving father, so he does his very best to make "puppy" comfortable while Robin goes down for a much needed nap. Hob offers up quilts for the beast to lie on, and opens up a can of meat as well as providing fresh water. The beautiful creature doesn't look thrilled by the meal, but he does eat and drink and nod at Hob in thanks. Then he curls up under the quilt and sleeps. Hob finally dares to pet the shaggy black fur and finds it so soft, he could almost weep. It's surprisingly easy to give in to Robin's demands and let "puppy" stay as long as he wants.

It only occurs to him when he sees those incredible eyes set in the face of a man, that "puppy" may not actually be a common overgrown dog. Hob doesn't smack the man in the face with his pan, fortunately, but he certainly does dump the fried eggs he was cooking out onto the floor in his shock!

Dream very tentatively picks one fried egg off the floor between finger and thumb, and nibbles on it daintily. He's definitely gotten a little bored of his diet of canned food, as much as he appreciates the delicious smelling human's help. Hob is still staring, but now he's also blushing quite prettily - and sitting down to join his new guest at... breakfast? Thank goodness Robin isn't up yet to witness his father eating eggs off the floor with a strange (um, naked) man...

And Dream is very pleased with this pack-bonding opportunity <3

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

"Robert Gadling, you dare..." "We've been over this, love. Can I kiss you now?" ".............. You may."

Do you ever just start writing and then it's a few thousand words later, and you're just like, 'Where the hell did any of this come from? This was not the plan. Wtf?'

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Tagged by @dandywonderous

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

19. I'm fairly new to fanfics, I only started reading and writing them in 2020.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

356,543

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I'm currently writing for The Sandman, but most of my works and my WIPs are for Twisted Wonderland, and I had written one chapter of a fic for Love Never Dies.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. Granting Favors (Twisted Wonderland) 2. The Two Princes (Twisted Wonderland) 3. A Way In (Twisted Wonderland) 4. Tomorrows Over Centuries (The Sandman) 5. Post-Gala Celebration (Twisted Wonderland)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes! I love interacting with my readers in the comments section~ Sometimes it takes me days to respond sdkjfkdslfj but I do respond! And I'm trying to make a habit of replying sooner.

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

Hmm, I always write happy endings, but currently The Repertoire Continues (Love Never Dies) and A Dragon's Soft Spot (Twisted Wonderland) have angsty endings, but only because so far I've only written their first chapters 😅

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

Probably Tomorrows Over Centuries (The Sandman). Mostly because almost the entire fic is the characters just having a fun time. (Also it's Explicit because of the third chapter, just a heads-up in case you wanna check it out.)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

So far no. I'm actually low-key scared of getting some, haha.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yup. All smut I write have a lot of Feelings, even if there's no plot to the fic. It's always romantic smut. It's just fun to write.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

So far no. Though I really wanna write a The Sandman and Good Omens crossover someday. The idea itself is a bit daunting for me, haha, but I've read a fic with that crossover, and I genuinely wanna attempt it myself.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, that would be super cool, though.

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

Yes, I've co-written a few fics with @patchyegg87~

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling (The Sandman) Azul Ashengrotto/Jamil Viper (Twisted Wonderland) is a close second!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I would like to believe that I can finish all of my WIPs, haha. But the one that would probably take the longest to finish is The Repertoire Continues (Love Never Dies), which I realize is ironic given the title alskjdfsldf. I rarely see any other content from the fandom so my brainworms for it don't get activated. I would still like to finish it someday, though.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and emotions. Character voice is one of my favorite things to write, discovering how different characters would have various reactions to the same situation. I've often had to modify outlines because I'd realize that the original flow of the scenes didn't make sense anymore because the characters' reactions wouldn't lead them to that outcome. And bringing emotions out of characters is fun too, especially the stoic and tsundere characters. It's why I like writing Hurt/Comfort, haha.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing descriptions for places, outfits, and food 😣 Especially places. I have a hard time imagining what a place might look like. That's usually what I ask @patchyegg87 for help with when we co-write fics. And she has recently taught me how to use Pinterest as a reference when writing descriptions for stuff, and I'd been practicing that. I really wanna get better at writing visual descriptions, it's always so cool when I read a fic that has such vivid imagery.

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

I have no problem with it. The very first fic I'd written, A Rival in Scarlet (Twisted Wonderland), has some French sentences in it that were translated into English when the POV switched to the French speaker's. Fanfics are for having fun, and sometimes part of that is incorporating another language you know or are trying to learn~

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Twisted Wonderland

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Ooh, I don't know, that's a hard one. Granting Favors (Twisted Wonderland) would always have a special place in my heart because it's my first multi-chapter fic and I honed much of my writing skills in that one. "I Do": The Long-Term Deal (Twisted Wonderland) is also very fun to write and that's the fic where I really learned to write character voice well because it's post-canon and the characters have aged a few years, and it was fun to figure out how they had changed in that time while retaining their core personalities. And of course Tomorrows Over Centuries (The Sandman). I'd read a lot of Dreamling fics before writing that one, and I was so happy to finish a Dreamling fic of my own. I love them, Your Honor.

Whenever I get an email from ao3 saying "_____ left you Kudos!" or "_____ commented on ______" An extra week is added onto my lifespan. Remember to always give ao3 authors you enjoy kudos and comments to ensure they live forever.

[unpredictable-probabilities]

also we fucked up as a society the moment we started telling teens and aspiring artists to conflate being an artist with building a brand as if the two things are inextricable. the name of the game if you want to share your art is to work a job and sell yourself as aesthetizied content. back in my day we could just POST SHIT. to deviantart! what the fuck!
