#《❝And adventure’s no fun if it’s too easy.❞》✦【Memes / Prompts】
Note
❤ for the ships ask game :) chewku please!
Or, alternatively, rexani/rexanidala if you've been pursued far enough by the former. Thank you! Love your writing, it always makes my day when you update on AO3, and the snippets of aus here are always so fun and well constructed!
Send me a ღ and I’ll fill this out about a ship
This ask meme is from a year ago. Please don't send new prompts.
Gonna do this for Rexanidala
Who’s the first to wake up in the morning:
Rex, like clockwork.
Who’s the one to make breakfast:
Usually Padme, but they all take turns, I think.
Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed:
They would all do it, but I think Anakin would be the most excited to do it, then Rex. Padme does it casually but the boys... the boys are really into it.
Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work:
Anakin, sometimes Padme. Canon tells us they are horny idiots. (It's okay, we love them. They can be smart when they're not being led around by the hormones.)
Meanwhile Rex is just like. Why are you guys like this. Date night is literally today. Just wait a few hours? We're gonna be late to work? Come on.
Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day:
Like the above, Anakin, sometimes Padme. They both judge the other when they do it, too. Rex is so tired of them being like this. The war is over, you guys, we are not on a deadline!
Who chooses the movies:
They cycle through. Anakin's got a thing for old romances, like Shakespearean stuff or full-on operas. Padme's into more modern musicals and romcoms. Rex is willing to try just about anything, but usually picks mysteries or action adventure or something when it's his turn, just to mix things up from the romances the other two pick. (That said, he keeps the horror and thrillers for movie nights with the 501st.)
Who initiates kissing during the moving, thus distracting the other from the movie all together:
Padme, I think. Anakin may be on Team Horny, but he's also the kind to get really invested in whatever he's watching, while Rex isn't very 'spontaneous kisses during another activity' unless there's a big shift (e.g. kissing during a spar isn't expected, but if you grapple your way into your lips being an inch apart, it' snot abnormal to just do a quick peck).
Who orders lunch:
Rex. Anakin tends to hyperfocus on whatever he's doing, and Padme's often busy in meetings or on calls. Rex is more than happy to pick something up and swing by for a throuple's lunch.
Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking:
Mostly Anakin, but nobody's immune to this urge.
Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy:
Still on team 'Padme likes kittenplay, put her in a collar and pet her.' Anakin and Padme are both prone to this. Rex is just happy to have people treating him like a pillow, it makes him feel loved.
Who distracts the other from trying to work at home:
...again, this is just canon for Anakin, and even a little bit for Padme. They drag each other down. If they try to do it to Rex, he suffers through it.
(After a few incidents, though, Cody or another clone takes them aside and tells them to knock it off, because Rex still isn't entirely comfortable telling them to stop bothering him while he's working, just out of habit from the war when Anakin would bug him while on shift, and if they keep doing it, Rex might call off the relationship before he tries just telling them to stop.)
Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old:
Mostly Anakin, but the other two are willing to stoop to this level.
Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream:
Padme.
Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face:
Rex is more than eager to whip out "I was in the army for several years" levels of dirty joke to see if he can get Padme to blush. (Anakin, despite also spending three years in the army, is very easy to make blush. No challenge there.)
Who cooks dinner:
Padme likes making breads and other baked goods, but Anakin's a stovetop guy (fried foods, soups, etc). Rex is learning new recipes here and there, and has decided he's really into foods that can be made in a casserole dish, like musaka and pilav.
Who cleans up the kitchen afterwards:
Whoever didn't cook... unless they're at Padme's place (which they usually are), where cleaning droids take care of it.
Who stays up until 2 reading:
They're all prone to this. Rex is the most consistent about getting to bed, but Anakin (hyperfocus, time blindness) and Padme (overdeveloped sense of responsibility and 'just one more thing' about work) are both liable to stay up waaaaay too late.
Who stares at their partner while their sleeping:
Anakin. Sometimes Padme.
Who kisses their partner while they sleep:
All of them, but it's usually the boys.

For the top 5 prompt: Top 5 Eggman boss battles.
This is yet another list that probably shifts depending on the day, because there's a lot of good ones.
5.
An underrated one. Like Rush Adventure in general.
There's no deep reason, I just think it's a neat fight, and since it uses the Jeweled Scepter, that grants it a plethora of unique magical attacks that you don't often see in an Eggman battle.
4.
I couldn't decide between these two, so fuck it, they're both here. Can you blame me? They're both well-known, and for good reason.
The Egg Walker marks the end of Tails' story, and it follows up the race to the missile in the city. The battle itself is fine, if perhaps a bit easy, but Eggman's tranquil fury in the cutscene prior really sells the mood. Shame he's rarely been given opportunities to show that side of himself since then. But that's where Stellar comes in. Either way, between that and Tails standing his ground, it's a great moment for both characters.
As for the Viper, we all love the obvious meme, but like the Walker, the fight is also fun in itself, and is reasonably tricky for a final boss. But as weird as it might be to say, the ending is what really makes it for me. The way the music stops the instant you get the last hit in, the way Tikal warns you about his kamikaze dive, the way the lonely sound and visuals of the explosion lingers before culminating with what could be mistaken for a volcanic eruption... awesome.
3.
It's an awesome mech. It's an awesome battle. It's an awesome moment for both the hero and the villain. Capped off with descending towards the center of the earth. As someone who considers Unleashed flawed in ways that I can't ignore, even I can't deny that this is one of the game's standout moments, and it deserves all its praise. I'd argue it's a better final boss than the actual final boss, and I'm not just saying that because the latter is another giant monster... okay, maybe that's part of it.
Shout out to the Generations version, because I really enjoy that one in its own right.
2.
Oh boy, here comes the controversial one. How dare I put anything from Forces on a top five that isn't derogatory, amirite.
In all seriousness... look, say what you will about the fight itself. I think it's alright, but I get why it might be considered perhaps a little anti-climactic compared to what it could have been as far as gameplay goes. And you guys know that I always consider gameplay to come first and foremost, no matter how good or bad the story of the game in question is, so it's not like I'm ignoring that part. And of course, there's the Nega-Wisp Armor reskin aspect that everyone complains about, which caused Twitter to throw the baby out with the bathwater and consider Eggman's position as the final boss to be the true problem. Which is probably why the final boss of Frontiers ended up being a talking ballsack. Thanks, everyone.
Anyway, all that said, I think there are certain elements that elevate it in spite of its ultimately okay status. There's the music, but that goes without saying for a Sonic game that isn't Chronicles. But another factor is the combination of the seriously underrated sound design, with the complete and utter silence on Eggman's part, which like @skaruresonic, I interpret it as the doctor being too focused on killing your ass that he disregards his usual banter, and like the Egg Walker cutscene in SA1, I think the effect really works, regardless of the actual intent or reason behind it.
So yes, I'm putting it as #2 for these overlooked attributes. I'm not sorry.
1.
The finale of S3&K will always be particularly special to me. There have been many great Eggman throwdowns, but this one illustrates how the doctor's high octane levels of pure determination rival Sonic's own; perfect for an arch-nemesis. There have been godlike figures who go down after a single fight, meanwhile this mortal man belts out a bonanza, because the mere concept of giving up the Master Emerald does not compute.
The build-up also goes a long way: S3&K as a whole establishes and maintains this aspect of Eggman's character throughout. He's going to get the Death Egg back up and running, and nothing is going to stop him. His robots set the jungle on fire. He himself destroys the ruins in Marble Garden, in the hopes that Sonic will get killed in the process. He's not even phased when the Death Egg falls smack dab into a volcano; his dedication never wavers. Then come the endgame, where he finally fucks off with the Master Emerald after telling Knuckles it was Nothing Personnel Kid, which is followed up with a dramatic chase through the crumbling Sky Sanctuary, which then culminates in the final showdown aboard the eponymous vessel... and then continues even after it blows up.
It's iconic, it's fun, it's climactic, and Eggman's ridiculously exaggerated refusal to quit being on full display cements it as one of my favourite Eggman portrayals, despite hailing from a 2D game with no dialogue.
Honorable mentions (that currently come to mind):
Death Egg Robot, cause c'mon, it's a classic. This mostly refers to the original Sonic 2 version as well as the variations in Generations and Mania.
Egg Shrimp (Sonic Advance 2), for being petty enough to abduct Vanilla after his plan's been foiled, and for the badass moment afterwards in which Sonic narrowly saves Vanilla.
Egg Emperor, because I don't care if it's Metal Sonic, it's an Eggman mech, he's trying to mimic Eggman, shut the fuck up or I'll do a in-depth Shadow the Hedgehog level tier list. The design is rad as hell, and it has the iconic TAKE THI-TAKE THIS, TAKE THI-TAKE THIS.
Egg Salamander (Sonic Rush), for capping off the dynamic between Sonic and Blaze... and because Wrapped in Black.
Nega-Wisp Armor, because the fight is fun despite its simplicity, and it's noteworthy because Eggman finally got to be the true final boss of a 3D mainline installment for the first time. And it only took a decade...
The endgame for Mania, in which Eggman menacingly jumps around in a Pokeball and then holds his own in a three-way standoff instead of being tactlessly upstaged like he's nothing.'
The one in IDW that doesn't exist.

▌ GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR .
Tagged by : @somneiroi ( thank you so much ! ♡ )
Tagging : @hellslament , @h0b1e , @akeron , @axillery , @ratkiing , @ichigokurosaki , & you !
NAME : The Chimera Cluster, but you're welcome to collectively call us Chimereus or C.C. for short!
PRONOUNS : Collectively xe / star / it / they pronouns.
PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : Discord, our most beloved... Of course, we can communicate on ims if necessary for our writing partner, though we're most likely to be more slow to get around.
MOST ACTIVE MUSE : At the moment, it's Micah, though our longest running muse was an original character from the earliest version of Micah's project who we had for over a good sweet year and several months.
EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS : Twelve years overall, including from experiences on multiple jcink forum sites, and three years on Tumblr! Funnily enough, we started roleplaying on our birthday and then got into the rpc on the same day as well, so one can say that our creative writing ability is a natural gift to us, hah!
BEST EXPERIENCE : I ( ✨ } have been getting the absolute best times with Amor ( 🔪 ) who had wanted to be a very active part of my roleplay adventure since a few months ago by writing Warlock who's Micah's closest friend / love interest, along with occasionally other original and canon muses for me and their own interest, whenever they can. It's just so nice to have them around here and get to do these little to big things on this platform just as anywhere else online and in real life. ♡
RP PET PEEVE : The only roleplay peeve a lot of us Chimeras can think of and come to agreement with is establishing a dynamic / plot with someone or at least getting to chat and know someone, only to be silently cut mutuals around a few days later or so. It's just a waste of time and energy. My personal roleplay pet peeve is when it's obvious to note how people favors canon muses over original characters because of their faceclaims and / or sources.
PLOTS OR MEMES : Both! With Micah's case specifically, because we're single story driven and would rather have the timeline per muse and storyline overall to be progressed naturally rather than entirely fleshed out, we are okay to at least plot the basic aspects of the plots and dynamics so we and our writing partner can have at least some ideas on where we want our muses to go, just not too heavily. Though this is often if the other is interested as we usually lean towards going with the flow. Memes are the easiest way for us to have initial interactions and start threads so memes are most preferred and encouraged to use for us than starter calls when it's easy for us to work with a prompt that we can write an event around it.
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : Generally, our replies for prompts and threads are quite long because we highly enjoy providing the details of our muse with their perception toward the other muse of our writing partner, the dynamic and relationship history between muses, the lores and worldbuilding, the events and canon timelines, etcetera, etcetera. It makes everything more fun and exciting to us getting to explore and develop the perspectives and examinations into the characters and the universe that they're in. Of course, no one should ever feel obligated to match our length! We're just passionate in writing as a hobby and storytelling as an act.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES : To some degree and in some ways. With canon muses, some of us individual Chimera do tend to gravitate towards those who we can connect with based on any to all aspects such as traits, beliefs, experiences, etcetera. To the rest who we write / wrote, it's would be more based on the interest in wanting to explore and develop their identity with their role as a character archetype / set of notable tropes for our own personal interests and / or spite towards their creators who could not develop them with justice. With original muses, certainly, we do have a lot of them who each individual Chimera want them to be relatable for them ( and few others ) in a certain extent for joy and comfort and need to feel understood. There are a few characters who we didn't intend to make them relatable for any of us, yet one would still be able to deeply connect with them. All of our characters would always somehow find a way for any of us Chimeras to identify with. We think it's only natural for anyone in the world to want to find something in a character that they have to feel seen and less alone.

September
Stim Boys Drabble Collection by Gilded_Quill | T, 17K, on-going
A collection of one-shots and drabbles based on a list of Autism-Centric Writing Prompts.

Recycled Air by ouijaboy | G, 1K, complete
It’s a twelve hour flight, give or take, from LAX to London Heathrow. And it’s all going really well, until the seatbelt light turns off, and Ryan’s AirPods die.
A small ode to Shane’s music taste.
The worst anniversary gift ever by Haroldmay | T, 8K, complete
"Why did you put the Professor in the fridge?" Ryan asked curiously while brushing his teeth.
"Why are you opening the fridge while brushing your teeth?" Shane replied from the couch without looking up. He had a headache. -he had been having a headache for a while.
"I'm not sure," Ryan said. He exchanged the toothbrush for the Professor and closed the door before he continued to wander around in the room.
"Also, I did not put him in the fridge," Shane said. He was much too tired to argue.
Ryan smiled at the puppet and the puppet smiled back.
"Divorce Shane and run away with me," Ryan heard the Professor's voice in his head.
Disclaimer: This is just a little joke. More Meme than Fic. It's about the characters Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara and has nothing to do with the real people behind them: Brad Pistachio and Brian Cramblish.
a studdy in earth by TokyoTiger91 | NR, 300, on-going
Starting out with this small bit, this is mostly going to be a collection of any alien Shane ideas or one-shots I have. Tags will be updated with each chapter and if there's any warnings they'll be at the top of the chapter
once again getting an idea from a one-off comment by TokyoTiger91 | NR, 700, complete

The Wolf King by PhyllisDietrichson | T, 4K, complete
“Then let’s say it reminds me that I am a man. Will that satisfy you?”
Ryan regarded Shane with an implacable eye. Shane, for his part, withstood this with his usual easy amiability.
Ryan found himself unable to suppress a smile from his face. “What riddles you present me with! It seems impossible for me to ever forget that I am a man.”
Simple Math by TheMouthKing & tripwirealarm | E, 118K, complete
While filming Ghost Files, a joke goes off the rails and lights a long-ignored fuse between its two co-hosts, but what’s initially just some fun fooling around under specific parameters leads to increasingly complicated feelings, and when a situation brings those feelings under a microscope, a choice has to be made.
October
The Beauty of the Beast by Gilded_Quill | M, 3K, on-going

Tary and/or Scanlan for the ask meme. To cover all our bases with Sam PCs, haha
I was wondering if I was going to be able to cover all of Sam's PCs with this lmao! Seeing as I do have a reputation to uphold re: sam's PCs, I will do them both
Tary:
First impression
Baby. Beloved. Pompous jackass whomst I love the most. True love at first sight and I am not kidding
Impression now
Baby. beloved. Pathetic pompous jackass I adore (I never stopped loving him, I have only grown to love him more)
Favorite moment
It is hard to choose between ALL of his bits in Jugs and Rods or the Grog and Tary shopping adventure in Vasselheim. Critical Role has TONS of funny moments and there is stuff in every campaign that has really gotten to me--but nothing like this. My abs ached the next day, I was fully weeping real fucking tears over this. I am laughing just thinking about it as I am typing. Fucking iconic.
Idea for a story
I have never considered a story with Tary specifically, but you know I'd love a story that explored Tary getting back together with Lawrence and how that aspect of their love story played out! I feel like that could be a very fun romance piece.
Unpopular opinion
Genuinely an incredible character, not as a joke, not for the bit. I mean, Tary is hilarious, yes. But I don't think Sam gets enough credit for how GOOD Tary was beyond the bit. He's a top tier character and deserves more credit from the fandom for it.
Favorite relationship
I'll split this one with Percy and Vex. Tary ends up being such good friends with both of them and his friendship with Vex is something I find particularly endearing (another Sam + Laura dynamic coming through golden) and then you add the layer of Tary's close friendship and unrequited pining for Percy into the mix....that whole dynamic of the three of them is great.
Favorite headcanon
I should really just delete this question because I never have headcanons to add. Idk. I don't really do head canons.
Scanlan:
First impression
Thought he was kind of gross and too sexually forward, ngl
Impression now
Probably my favorite of Vox Machina, not counting Tary. I don't know, he really grew on me. I think Scanlan circles around similar themes that all of Sam's PCs do, which is why I tend to gravitate toward them, you know? The eternal struggle of wanting to appear okay for your friends because you can't or won't invite the vulnerability of being honest about how you're struggling, only to hit a breaking point and lose it because no one has noticed your pain (because you have hidden it)? All the inherent complications and contradictions of that sort of thinking? Feels very realistic and relatable, for me, at least.
Favorite moment
It's so easy to choose The Bard's Lament for this. WHAT an incredible dramatic character move. Unparalleled, dramatic, complex, and it added so much to Scanlan's character and the dynamic with the group, forcing VM to sit with some things (and to get angry at him! Because he was unfair too!). I loved that shit, I ate it up.
But also, Scanlan's return to VM and trying to Modify Memory on Vex only to whiff it and her just hugging him. I fucking love that, too.
Idea for a story
You know, the thing is, this question is tickling some kind of memory of mine that I had actually planned to write something about Scanlan/Pikelan and I just cannot remember what on earth it was going to be. I can't even think of anything else, I'm just annoyed I can't remember what I was going to do, now
Unpopular opinion
I don't think Scanlan blowing up at VM and saying unfair things to them makes him a bad person or selfish or [insert whatever other thing here]. I think he was unwell, and had some valid reasons to be upset, and spoke in anger in a very human moment wherein neither party was entirely wrong or right. People apply judgement to that scene a lot, I think because it's very emotionally jarring, it's aggressive and unexpected and it prompts strong feeling because of that, but I don't think there's any judgment to be applied. VM was wrong about some things, Scanlan was wrong about some things. A big bundle of tragically human conflict, honestly, which is why it's fantastic.
Favorite relationship
Probably Grog. I love that whole corner of VM (Grog and his gnomes) and all their dynamics, but you can really feel such a camaraderie and care between these two that I love. Also Vex (that Sam + Laura dynamic always hits, I suppose)

PERMANENT RELATIONSHIP CALL - DONALD DUCK
Hello there! You wanna be friends with this son of a duck? I mean look at that face, he's a totally lovable guy! Lord knows he needs friends he spends most of his free time alone on a ship for Pete's sake.
Anyways, this is a call to anyone who I’ve threaded with, or would like to thread in the future! By liking the post, it’ll signal to me that you’re interested in having a long standing relationship with Donald. This can/will include stuff like:
- Sending specific memeing or prompts (all my ask answers are always open for reply if you want to ^^ )
- Priority in reply postings/starter calls (will ask for an Icon!)
- Plotting for just about anything, I’ll either message you or you can message me if you have an idea. I don’t mind receiving random starters, though I will definitely message if I have an idea for something LOL
- Placement/updates on his Relationships page
- And just generally having a good time with a duck man
I’ll likely be selective about that when it comes to who i’m interested in going more in depth with, specifically if we haven’t threaded before. If you’d like to get something started, I’ll reach out to you about it!
Of course, this is not required to thread with him at all! This is partially an interest check for ideas in the future, and partially a organizational tool for me since Donalds my busiest blog. All of it is meant for fun!
Below are some details about the kind of relationships Donald could have with your muse! Thank ya so much for taking interest!
Oh dang you’re serious! Cool! Anyways, here’s the deets:
The most common one will likely be a Father Figure type to your muse. Have some parental issues? Well look no further than a duck who’s a pretty gosh dang good father all things considered. Whether your father is dead, or possibly wants you dead here’s a lovely man to suit the void in your muses’ soul. He will not hesitate to adopt just about anyone. Usually just metaphorically... but also...
We could also have a bit of a Mentor/Mentee relationship. Basically being more of a classic Uncle Donald type where he’ll offer his support whenever it is needed. This has more of a focus on teaching, however, it ropes in with the previous dynamic. This would be applicable if you’d ever want to work on Donalds ship too as an apprentice. I think it’s fun for him to pass on his adventuring wisdom too.
Maybe your muse has a healthy relationship with their living parents (that sounds unrealistic) and just needs a pal. Donald can just be a Casual and/or Close Friend! He does drink, though not a lot, and can do just about anything that’s normal. To those who are closer to his age he’ll happily show kindness to (he might still be a little bit of a dad anyways. He can’t help himself ok).
There’s also the possibility of being a Rival, Enemy, or a Foil to be used by other characters to inflict pain... which seems unlikely but I can dream can’t I? It takes a whole lot to get on his bad side, but if your muse happens to choose to hurt others, then yeah Donalds gonna do what he can to stop ya. This one would be more of a ‘plotting’ thing especially, but I’m just putting it out that I am open to it. You’ll have to message me for this one, though.
For purpose of fairness, anyone is welcome to Adopt Him to. LOL he probably won’t even realize that he’s been adopted, but if you would like to care for the duck... yeah, he’s been super touched starved lately ngl. It’s super easy for him to overwork himself, or overstress himself and well, he’s just a little too independent for his own good. Being a single dad to three kids at 25 will do that to ya.
For the record, I’m not interested in shipping with anyone who isn’t named Daisy Duck, for no other reason than they’re literally perfect for each other in the series... ignore the fact I put his canon point back before her intro. Point is, being romantically involved is off the table, but if Ducks are your thing, I’m cool with him being flirted to LOL (he’s also just not really looking for it? If you need some relationship advice though... he’ll do his best??)
Last thing, you don’t have to message me with which one you want either (except for the enemy one)!! This is just a general list of what I’m open to, but if you want to do something that’s not on the list that’s a-ok with me to! Donalds a versatile character, so just about any and all things could apply to him. Plus for most muses, I kind of already have a sense of what he thinks of ‘em.
Thanks for getting this far though! I’m really really excited about this ^^ that’s all I’ve got for now! May update this later, but I’ve been sitting on it for several months now, and now feels as good of a time as any to start rolling the ball.
#I'm so excited to work on his relationships page!#I love having the pictures uvu#( . ooc . ) // quack quack quack ⚓༄⋆｡°்⋆#( . open thread . ) // ⚓༄⋆｡°்⋆#( . queue . ) // swimming on in ⚓༄⋆｡°்⋆

{{ OOC: Heck, I can't seem to reblog the post with these ask prompts, but I really wanted to answer them. So I cheated and answered them anyways.
Questions from here: https://www.tumblr.com/tomatoberry2/715588562333138944/ooc-pokemon-irl-mod-ask-meme
❤️ - best thing about being part of this community
Roleplaying is Fun, okay. I love writing with other people so MUCH! But I also really like lore and worldbuilding, and seeing all the different directions people take the Pokemon world is so fascinating for me!
🕰️ - how long have you been roleplaying before you made a pokemon irl blog?
Oh gosh, since I was like 14 years old and an old friend introduced me to RPing on the forums of a virtual pet site called Anatheria. So that makes it 16 years ago! I made this Pokemon blog in... February 2014. according to the archive! So I was roleplaying for like 7 years before making this blog.
��� - which blogs introduced you to pokemon irl? [realpokemon doesnt count]
For me, it was actually that post with the compilation about "Tweet like Pokemon are real", and then my friend (owner of wyrmwiind, I think is how they spelled it) made one, and I was like! "!!! Oh! I already have a Pokemon blog where I do that!" Among other things, but that was this blog of course. (Kat the Hex Maniac, if you're still out there, you were also an instrumental part of my Blogging Like Pokemon Are Real!)
👥 - why did you join pokeblr?
See above. I already had a Pokemon RP blog, and it seemed like this style of RP was getting a lot more attention than traditional prose RP. I can't let go of my beloved prose, so it's dual-purpose, really, but, you know. I pivoted a bit for more interaction.
🌓 - lots of lore or slice of life?
HELLA lore for me, please! Slice of life is fun in bite-sized pieces, but it bores me after awhile. I like Pokemon for the ADVENTURE!
✨ - what inspired your character?
...cough. They're a shameless self-insert, really. The reason I created them as a Pokemon character is basically that I wanted to write a story about what I thought my adventures in the Pokemon world would be.
⭐ - if playing a canon char - how are they different from canon?
🌟 - how much is your character like you?
As much as I could fit into them! But they're also more well-adjusted because they didn't have to deal with, ahh, Extremely Negative and Traumatic Forces acting on their life nearly as long as I did. I daydreamed about running away from home since I was like 7 years old, and this character is my exploration of that. What would I be like if I was allowed to live a happier life in a healthier society with a greater sense of freedom and independence?
💫 - how has your character developed in a way you didnt expect?
The breeding center wasn't originally part of the plan. It was going to be Endless Adventures, but as I got older I realized I wanted a Different Kind of "adventure". I had more fun writing about character dynamics and the study and care of Pokemon than battles and canon events.
🌠 - do you plan on revealing any NPCs from your characters backstory?
If the situation calls for them, sure! Most likely not, though. Kind of a "leave the past in the past" thing.
🌀 - what are future plans for this blog?
Meeting new muses, getting involved in interesting plots, and hopefully making friends. (More hoping for IC friends, though OOC friends are welcome too!)
💥 - favorite event so far?
Unfortunately I haven't really gotten involved in any of the events, but Team Winter's seem to be the most easy to get involved with indirectly. I wouldn't want to get directly involved unless 1.) it makes sense for my muse to be the one who does it, and 2.) I talk OOC to get a feel for how the other mun wants to play it, but unfortunately I'm shy about that and modern RP blogs don't have the Rules and Explicit Preference Pages that used to abound in RP communities! And I'm never quite sure how to start those conversations...
🔴 - rotomblr, rotumblr, or a secret third choice
I like Rotomblr.
🪨 - favorite pokemon?
Mismagius, though Misdreavus is a VERY close second! That was yoinked straight out of my OOC head.
⛰️ - favorite type?
Ghost, also a lifelong OOC truth!
🏞️ - favorite game?
Pokemon Pearl! I loved everything about contests, the berries, the poffins, the ribbons were fun to collect, the Pokeball seals were an artistic DELIGHT for me! And although this didn't really translate into my OC's story very well, I also really loved the underground! I had hundreds of size 99 spheres buried for harvest any time I wanted, and I think that affected how many treasures I found in the walls, because I ALWAYS dug up something worth at least 500P or more. I also had a base that was a maze and booby trapped left and right, top to bottom, and I was the reigning champion in my area of Capturing Flags and Not Letting Anyone Else Capture Mine. ;}P (People literally had to ask nicely to be able to get my flag, I think mine was only stolen ONCE in the entire span of time we played that game.)
🌍 - favorite region?
Sinnoh, largely because of the multitude of different environments and characters like Cynthia and Fantina, of course it has Mismagius, and the history that LA implied to be Sinnoh's further cemented it!
🧠 - headcanon for the pokeworld you have?
I'll use a specific one I've seen lots of people have lots of different takes on: Most Pokemon can understand human speech and communicate with roughly the same amount of specificity. (Much more like the anime than the game, though the "voices" I imagine them speaking in are far more animalistic and colored by their cries in-game. Specifically, I imagine Misdreavus and Mismagius to sound a lot more like the Japanese anime voices with the cadence/pitch of their game cries!)

Uhh can I ask for BBC Sherlock fic recs? (Preferably friendship and/or familial fics, but romance is okay too)
Ooohh boy are you in for a list. I know you asked this like, at the start of quarantine or at sometime where I decided that I was no longer interested in communicating with the wider world, but hopefully this will still be of interest to you?
Throughout 2018 I did very little writing because I was busy consuming everything offered by the Sherlock fandom produced over 7-8 years. I definitely read well into the millions of words. A lot of them were from specific collections on both ff.net and AO3. I recommend looking in “collections” on ff.net in particular (as I still can’t really figure out how collections work on AO3 and how to find them easily... it’s really easy to find them on ff.net).
To my knowledge, these are all complete.
If there is any romance tagged here, it’s because it’s really, really fucking good as romance is my least favorite genre. I cannot remember all of them, but there’s a lot of angst, definitely humour, and definitely some great canonical bits. Also whumpy ones that are either really really good or a bit ridiculous but there you go.
It’s long, so under a cut. If the cut doesn’t work, I have tagged it as well.
From ff.net (alphabetical order) - NOTE: I did NOT include anything from the authors I recommended because the list was already too freaking long! But be sure to check out the authors, you can sort by “category” on ff.net on their author page and then go down to “Sherlock” to find their works:
Anything by A Wandering Minstrel (sooooo many genres)
Most anything by chappysmom (tons of genres, some are excellent, some I could take or leave, overall good stuff)
Most anything by Dayja (she writes in a ton of genres, so some I *adore* while others aren’t my cup of tea, but overall good stuff)
Anything by Gwen's Blue Box if you want angst up the wazoo.
Anything by ivywatcher for fantastic character studies.
Most anything by Jennistar1 (another multi-genre writer, both friendship and slashfic)
Anything by Radon65 - a mix of stuff. Canon IIRC.
Anything by Richefic for good, canon-friendly gap-fillers
Anything by StillWaters1 for good, canon-friendly gap-fillers

Sherlock Holmes Sally Donovan John Watson Mrs. Hudson
Oh Christ, the Freak will be like a dog with two tails if she turns to him for assistance. Sally can feel her hands curling into fists ready to punch the condescending smirk off his face as she glares at the lift panel, willing the lift to go faster. But this is about Susy, Sally tells herself, not about him or Sally’s abhorrence of the atrocious git. She’s still convinced he gets off on it but he can wank himself into a stupor over Susy’s disappearance for all she cares as long as he finds her.
A Smelly Affair by dioscureantwins
Words: 13,756 Chapters: 1/1 General Audiences
Sherlock Holmes John Watson Mrs Hudson Greg Lestrade Molly Hooper Anthea Mycroft Holmes
Sherlock had published an interesting thesis on the splintering of various woods on his website. As well as an equally fascinating treatise on different types of ropes and knots and the best techniques for securing someone. Obviously, his captors had followed those instructions to the letter; thereby disproving John’s theory nobody took notice of Sherlock’s website. A victory, perhaps, but one Sherlock felt he could have done without. Trust his readership to turn the tables on the author. Morons.

Then the freak, if we decide we can risk it.""John doesn't drive," said Sherlock."Then what's John along for?" Sally protested. Which Greg reckoned had to be just Sally trying to wind Sherlock up. She knew better. All night in a car with Sherlock was bad enough. All night driving round and round the M25 looking for a killer, with Sherlock deprived of John Watson, sounded like a new circle of hell.

But if you haven’t delved deep into the fandom, this should tide you over for some time.
This list is by no means an exhaustive list of recs. I didn’t really include anything that concentrated on a romantic pairing, for instance. I left off anything explicit as well. But yeah, here’s a small amount of the overall goodness produced by the BBC Sherlock fandom over the last 10 years.

Height meme: faceplant, heels, using the tall one as a ladder during house renos (Carly/Jake)
Tidbits in the life of Tol and Smol
1. “You somehow forget that I’m tiny and just face-planted into the floor because you tried to lean on me. I know it probably hurts but this is too funny.”
Carleigha grinned as she tucked the handle of Pam’s leash around her wrist skimming along the sidewalk in her skates. She loved walking Pam even if it was a struggle to keep up at times. At all of 5ft, the pitbull was about half her size. It made for quite a few amusing looks, though if anyone spoke out against the adorable, fun loving pupper they met a wrath Carly didn’t even realize she had. The downside however is she worried the pupper wouldn’t get enough exercise on her walks. Light Bulb moment popped into her head, or rather Declan’s, and she decided to break out her skates. Even Pam seemed to enjoy her moves, jogging lightly alongside her.
Skidding to a light stop her eyes shifted around before catching the dog’s eye “Uh oh Pam, I think we lost someone.” She chuckles turning back spotting Jake a few feet behind them shuffling along the sidewalk behind them. “Cariño, you are doing great, just bend your knee and push off. you’ll glide right over.” She demonstrated with a light glide forward. Grinning as she watched him follow the movement, skates carrying him along the pathway. Maybe a little too fast
.Her eyes widened as he closed the space quickly and she held her arms out to catch him. They hadn’t exactly worked on how to put on the brakes yet. Granted she didn’t think either of them took the size difference into account and at that momentum they collided. One little tumble and they were both on the ground Pam hopping beside him concerned but clearly amused.
Recovering, she covered her mouth to hide a laugh before reaching to help him sit up. “I’m sorry..I’m sorry..I probably should have started with how to stop first.”
2. “I went out and bought super tall high heels so I could finally be your height only I don’t know how to walk in these.”
Carleigha hugged the wall as she gingerly made her up the steps, whiteknuckling the handrail. She loved going on shopping trips with Sav, her friend always managed to talk her into getting the most fun things. Usually it was a few risque lingerie sets she had tucked away for fun. This little fashion adventure however may be the death of her. One little comment about how much taller Jake was than her and Savannah had her trying on the highest heels in the store. She couldn’t deny that when she looked in the mirror her legs seemed to go on for days and walking a few steps in the store she’d felt graceful. It was an easy sell.
Reality had clicked in as soon as she’d tried them on and nearly took a tumble crossing her own apartment. Savannah wore these kinds of shoes all the time and looked as graceful as a gazelle, granted the woman also spent her workdays on pointe. Being graceful came naturally to her. Meanwhile Carly was clumsy in flats. Despite the tumble she was resolved to wear them on her date tonight, hoping that a little practice would help her walk a little steadier.
“Carls? I buzzed you in ten minutes ok? You alright?”
Her head lifted from where she was watching her feet ensuring to spot Jake standing at his doorway looking entirely bemused. She was just thankful she’d actually made it to the top step.
“I got new shoes! Sav said they are eight inch heels but I swear its like I’m walking on stilts”
One hand gliding along the wall she took a wobbly step towards his apartment causing her to stumble forward a bit catching his arm.
Giving him a light glare, as her face lifted up to his, albeit far closer than she was used to. “Be careful bucko, if you laugh I’m not going to show you the other thing Sav prompted me to buy”
3. “We don’t own a ladder but we really need to fix stuff around the house so now I’m using you as a ladder.”
Carleigha was good at thinking of clever though slightly dangerous ways to compensate for her height. Cleaning her kitchen was often accompanied with a daydream that she was a super spy scaling a building to break into a penthouse apartment, otherwise known as her top cupboard. Christian had spotted her once humming the mission impossible theme and promptly got her a tall step stool and while she was safer, reaching tall things wasn’t as fun.
Living with Jake she’d thought her step stool days were over. At 6’0” he was her giant knight in crop top tees and black jeans, grabbing anything she needed that was just out of her reach. Or atleast out of a safe reach. That was atleast until the light in the livingroom went out. Sure tall ceilings were a design feature until you had to reach the damn things. Here she was standing in livingroom, wondering how many things she’d have to stake atop one another just to change the lightbulb.
Enter the knight with raven hair and glorious tattoos. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Carly grinned up to Jake, “Oh great you’re here, I need you to give me a boost.”
Instinctively he knelt and she stepped up onto the couch to climb onto his shoulders, holding his shoulder to steady herself as he stood. It was perfect, all she had to do was stretch a little to reach the bulb. Just a few minutes of work, for the good half hour she’d spent contemplating some dangerous version of livingroom furniture jenga. Grinning, she leaned forward to give him a kiss. “My hero”

how do you get into roleplaying on a ff server? like how do you do it and how do you know if your character is lore compliant? ;A; pls youre a big inspo to me
*Hugs Nonny* Getting into RP on a FF server can vary; I don’t actually RP much these days, outside of some friends I already have connections to--and that in itself can be difficult just due to Life! It can take time, and patience, and some fits and starts.
And this gets...really really long, so buckle up and go below the cut, please. :)
The cut got broken by an edit. Sigh.
In game there’s always the RP status tag, and just doing RP with folks in public spaces. There may be trolls now and then, but they can be ignored. I personally find Balmung’s Quicksand area too busy and anxiety inducing and not actually all that conducive to actual RP, even “meet at a tavern” walk-up type. But unless you already have a ready-made group of friends/FCmates willing to RP more than some random walk-ups with you, it may take some legwork to find folks you can and want to write with.
Social Media
There are a couple of RP community blogs, like @mooglemeet and @ffxiv-crystal-rp and plenty of server-specific ones. There’s also some Discords for these communities. They host and advertise events and reblog people who are looking for RP contacts. Some of them have running gdoc calendars and in game linkshells and fellowships as well.
Shofie has a good post about Tumblr/social media RP blogging.
@shofie-ffxiv
It’s a fact now that social media outside game is a way to make contacts, or even a medium for RP itself. There are few centralized websites/forums for server RP communities anymore. Making connections over your social media, like Tumblr and Twitter, can help find RP. You can’t just throw your own character info out there or reblog prompts hoping others bite, though; you have to put in some work and show interest in others, too. This can be difficult and even scary. That’s OK.
RP is about collaboration and creating with other people, which means finding folks you can write with, and who see you as someone interesting but also interested in them and their OCs. If you want to keep it a solo endeavor focused on your own OCs, write fanfic (which I’ve actually made friends and gotten RP interests that way too through comment interactions, so hey).
If you reblog a prompt from someone, see others on your dash reblogging prompts, if people reblog that prompt post from you? Send them asks! Alternatively, don’t wait for prompts, just send asks, comments, or chats saying hello and things you notice or like about their blog/character/posts they make. Try to form connections with people you think are genuinely interesting and might be fun to talk with. Social media should be, well, social.
BUT respect boundaries, too. Don’t try sarcasm or jokes with people you don’t actually know, it tends to go over poorly. Unless someone’s specifically posting a naughty meme/prompt, keep stuff you others send clean and polite, especially if it’s unsolicited and you’re not already friends (doubly so if you don’t know how old they are IRL, there are laws you do not want to break). Respect if people aren’t open to random asks or chatting with new followers, or say “no” to RP, and know it’s not personal--it’s just what they have time, energy, and emotional/mental capacity for. Don’t give up on other people, though. This stuff can take time and effort to find those you click with.
Respect and communication with RP partners is pretty key.
Do curate your feeds and don’t be afraid to unfollow/mute/block folks, either. I’m selective in who I follow and remove as needed, too, for my own mental health. I miss so much of the discourse and drama and that’s fine by me. Also it costs nothing to not step in on a lot of the drama when it does pass in sight.
Profiles
I have static RP profile pages for my girls here on Tumblr (and a lot of other static links and pages, but I’m weird about organizing like that). This way, if people want to write with me, send me prompts, if I sent them prompts, or they want to otherwise interact with my characters, the information is handily available. For some folks, this makes all the difference in who they choose to interact with: how easily can they find even basic info about your OC?
Some people make Carrds. Some folks have gdoc links, or use Dreamwidth, etc. Just keep the links in the blog’s sidebar menu, and/or in the blog desc so people can see ‘em on mobile. There are templates out there, or you can make your own. Feel free to snag mine if you’d like. A lot of times people also copy their profiles to rebloggable posts when looking for RP contacts. Profiles are a good way to let folks know just the at-a-glance basics about your character(s).
I picked a simple theme with a simple layout that makes it easy to add and show off links. I put them in the blog desc to make them easy to find on mobile, too.
[Images: links from my blog sidebar menu showing how over organized I am]
RP, Stories, Lore
Post some stories or RP logs (with permission of others involved) or even just random little blurbs and headcanons, as well as any screenshots, art, aesthetic posts for your OCs. Have something of interest to show for your character, too, so some of those folks your interacting with have something of their own to see and ask about!
If possible, try some light RP with friends and FC Mates who are amenable. Go to events, even if just to lurk at first. When you do get up the nerve to talk to people, don’t try to throw a character’s entire backstory at them, or try to steal the limelight--RP is collaboration, back and forth, and a lot like real conversation. Maybe come up with little light things to talk about if asked; a recent adventuring job, a silly shopping incident, etc. They can break the ice or just give you something to reply with for a few minutes.
Lore Compliance is Variable. Some people really want lore compliance, others are OK bending it here and there, while still others throw it out the window entirely. If you want to be super lore compliant...read. There’s a LOT of information, in game and out, for finding lore; from official publications and website material, to tools like Garland Tools site, to compilation blogs like @mirkemenagerie.
Note what’s important for your concept. Narrow it down. Characters aren’t going to know or be or do everything, so only worry about what’s necessary for the base idea. And be flexible; it’s SE’s sandbox, we just play in it, and they can change things any time. They usually do it in the guise of characters not knowing/having all the correct information, at least, but also some places just don’t exist in game yet so we don’t have info.
I’m unspecific about a lot of elements of Aeryn’s childhood, for instance, other than “traveling merchants near Thavnair.” I don’t have to be super specific. I can keep most details vague, and focus on her family and those relationships.
Dark, as my first character, has a fairly simple backstory that I’ve expanded on and adjusted over time as I learned and came up with new info. I also bet no one remembers I originally said Dark was from the North Shroud. I’ve changed things (now from East Shroud, due to the proximity to Gyr Abania and its Hellsguards) as I learned more about the world and my character. You don’t want to change things willy-nilly, but sometimes being flexible and smoothing down some rough edges and making small changes can be fine, especially as one gets more lore over time.
Iyna has a pretty detailed backstory, that came from a basic idea, and checking dates in the pre-Calamity timeline. I based her being taken and trained the way she was not only on what info we have about Garlemald’s imperial practices with conquered provinces, but borrowed a bit from real life and the re-education schools many Native Americans were forced into (though I haven’t gone into detail on that yet, either). I tied the turning point in Iyna’s life to a major event that wasn’t the Calamity, and have left plenty of space in between for me to fill in as time goes on and I learn more about her and the world.
The world isn’t static, and is bigger and more diverse than what can be shown in the game. There’s space in the margins for plenty of weird stuff and contradictions or unusual cases. So read up on what you can, ask questions, and then find where in those spaces your OC fits. Then, find people who enjoy similar tastes in lore compliance (or non-compliance), and who enjoy playing with you and your OCs, and not worrying about the rest. Can’t please everyone, nor get along with everyone, so don’t try; just find what works for you, and who works with you, and don’t police anyone else’s pretendy fun times, either.
There’s no magic answer on the “right” amount of lore compliance, or how to quickly and easily find RP partners or break into the broader RP community.
I hope this helps at least a little bit! Good luck in finding your niche for RP, and maybe I’ll see you sometime at an event :)

flower prompt meme: spider flower; elope with me; arden & bev for @sentfromwolves
Arden stared at Beverly, his mouth hanging open. She was lying upside down on the bed, all attention on their marathon of Star Trek: Enterprise as though she hadn’t just proposed they spend the rest of their lives together as casually as she might suggest where they go for lunch tomorrow. Arden felt a bundle of fireworks explode in his brain only to immediately fizzle out the next instant like a sparkler dropped in a puddle. Beverly was still watching the tv, tacky 2000s cgi reflecting in her eyes. Arden didn’t know what episode they were on— he’d lost count four or five hours into season three. Now he just sat frozen with a plastic bowl of popcorn in his lap, as petrified as Moaning Myrtle caught by the basilisk in the bathroom.
“Are you—” Arden wheezed and coughed, clearing his throat. “Are you serious?”
Beverly looked up at him from where she hung over the edge of the bed, hair falling down the length of the duvet.
“I mean,” she said, “yeah?”
“Yeah?” Arden squeaked, his voice reaching an alarmingly high decibel.
“I mean,” Beverly began again, ever the picture of eloquence. “It would be fun, right?”
Fun, Arden thought dumbly. Not quite the adjective he would’ve first picked about marriage.
“Okay, okay, hear me out.” Beverly rolled into an upright position, sitting criss-cross applesauce across from him on her bed.
“First of all, the tax benefits would be great—”
“You want to get married for tax benefits?” Arden nearly yelled, popcorn close to tipping.
“That’s just one thing—”
“You essentially propose to me and the first thing you start talking about is tax benefits?”
Arden felt like he was fifteen steps behind, Bev roaring by on a motorcycle as he peddled after her on a tricycle, trying maddeningly and pathetically to keep up.
Thankfully, if Arden was all the consistent ingredients of a haphazard molotov cocktail ready to blow whenever something threatened to chuck the tremulous balancing act of his life out a window, Beverly was a one-woman bomb disposal squad.
“Babe,” she said, putting a consoling hand on his leg. “Please don’t freak out. I can hear the air raid sirens in your brain from here.”
“I’m not freaking out,” Arden lied. “I am absolutely, 100% not freaking out at all. My brain is filled with clandestine meadows and Tibetan monks.”
Bev snorted.
“Uh huh, yeah right.” There was a star glimmer in her eye as she commandeered the popcorn bowl. “And I didn’t propose, you doofus. It was just a suggestion. I mean,” she continued around a mouthful of popcorn, “I figured, you like me, I like you. We’re a pretty tight team. Being married could be fun.”
There was that word again. Fun. Arden could barely focus on it as Bev continued talking, heedless of his crisis.
“And in thirty years if we get sick of each other because you’re bald and cranky and I’m addicted to VR games and we both teach too much then we can get a divorce and all our problems will be solved!”
But he wouldn’t ever get sick of Beverly, Arden thought. He liked her too much; her unicorn facemasks, the way she left empty containers of hummus and wheat-thins on her desk, her ever-changing light-up keyboards and novelty mouse collection. He liked how she looked walking around in her underwear and oversized NASA t-shirt, hair piled into a messy bun and glasses sitting crooked and smudged on her nose because she’d run out of contact solution again. He liked how she named her rice cooker and kept constant boxes of toaster strudels in the freezer, how she snorted and guffawed when she laughed and sent him memes of cats that looked like Ferro and quizzed MK on whatever mutual hyperfixation they’d found in the kid’s venture into 90’s sci-fi.
He liked her a lot, he realized.
“Hello in there— where’d you go?”
Bev was looking at him expectantly, a grin on her face. She was wearing one of her favorite t-shirts, this one emblazoned with the biblical lyric, “yeah my boyfriend’s pretty cool, but he’s not as cool as me.” It felt pretty accurate, Arden agreed distantly. The youngest professor at West Wembley, a colossal nerd, a philosophical debate partner, and she could eat more flamin’ hot cheetos than he could.
“What are you thinking about?” Beverly asked.
“That it’s such a shame you’re a trekkie,” Arden answered. “I might have found the perfect woman otherwise.”
Beverly cried out in offense.
“How dare you defame the Enterprise?” she said, almost hitting him as she gesticulated wildly at the tv.
“Star Wars is the superior media, you can’t change my mind,” Arden said resolutely, a smile tugging across his lips. A snug warm feeling was making itself cozy in his chest, curling up like a cat as Beverly grumbled beside him, settling into the welcome space under his arm.
He might fuck around and say the L word, he mused. Not that it would be the first time. Loving Beverly came easy.
They fell back into the episode, and Arden had almost got a handle on the current plot when Beverly jerked upright, an excited light in her eyes.
“We could do a Vegas wedding! Would you do a Vegas wedding?”
“I could be convinced to do a Vegas wedding,” Arden admitted, too swayed to even be surprised by himself. It felt less like defeat and more like the burgeoning promise of an adventure, hopping from one foot to the other on some distant horizon like a wacky, marital pied piper. He pictured himself standing at a glitzy altar before a sunglasses-wearing Elvis Presley impersonator, sliding a promise ring onto Bev’s finger while she wore a white dress.
It wasn’t a half-bad thought.
He could only imagine Kihyun’s face when he found out, could see Minjun hooting and falling to the floor. Ferro would start silent chuckling until he became a giggly snorting mess, supporting himself on the kitchen counter as he wheezed.
Dare he say, maybe getting married would be fun.

FFN Author Meme
I came down with a cold and I’m MISERABLE I seriously cannot handle this very mild throat ache and minor case of the sniffles WHY IS HAVING A COLD SO MUCH HARDER THAN ANYTHING ELSE ugh where’s my fainting couch I need my fainting couch
Oh gosh this is what happens when you’re dramatic over having a cold: you forget to tag!! THANK YOU @diligent-thunder FOR THE TAG, and in return I tag ahhhhh, ahh, who hasn’t been tagged yet?? @rockmarina, @rhirta, @dwimmerlaiks YES I KNOW YOU DO ART but this totally applies to art as well, ummm and whoever feels like it!! Ok NOW bring me my fainting couch
Author Name: Tepre
Fandoms You Write For: Harry Potter!! I’ve dabbled in others over the years, but HP was my birthplace and it’s where I currently reside.
Where You Post: AO3 and here! I started out in the eaaaarly early 00s on forums, graduated to lj back in the day, and then reluctantly shuffled here after the final strikethrough.
Most Popular One-Shot: I thiiiink Down a Hill? Good ol’ foggy-glassed, sex-pollen induced runtimes in the greenhouse while plants wave at you in the distance, eyyy
Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: I only have ONE of those so easy enough, Grounds for Divorce, my angsty wangsty accidental bonding baby where everyone is just the worst
Favourite Story You Wrote: EvER?? Lord what a question. I love and hate them all at different stages. Even in the process of writing. I’m currently working on this thing and I waver between being IN LOVE WITH IT and wanting to bin it all forever at least 3 times a day. But, I guess, at this very moment, I have warm feelings for It Is I Who Will Surely Expire? Coming up with elaborate anxiety-and-love-induced scenarios at 3AM is all I ever do and knowing it resonated with other anxious love beans out there just fills me with ❤️, so yeah, that one today!
Story You Were Nervous to Post: LITERALLY. ALL. OF. THEM. GfD was.......extra. God I was pissing myself. I was on a train sitting next to a business man and the tags weren’t working and I had to type ‘anal sex’ like 6 times over and I was scHWETZING and I was sure it was all gonna tank and fall and all the build up and all those months had just been an exercise of obsession between me and myself and no one would feel all the things I’d felt and and and and and x10000
How Do You Choose Your Titles: ahahaha ok so uh. In the past, back when I was writing in other fandoms, my approach to titles was uh...lax? And eventually it kind of infuriated people because I’d title something “LOL IDK FANFIC I GUESS” and it’d be like 60k angst and people RIGHTFULLY pointed out that they needed more of a heads up, in terms of what they were getting into. These days, a lot of time the title comes to be before the actual meat of the plot. GfD was like that, I was listening to that song and wondering: what if they were married, but didn’t want to be, and the whole story is about them looking for a way out--a grounds for divorce--and by the time they find it, they’re so far from who they were at the beginning they don’t know if they want it anymore? That’s how that started, and then the story was shaped AROUND that. For the most part, though, I look for the title in the story itself. It’s usually in there, somewhere.
Do You Outline: CONSTANTLY FOR EVERYTHING
Complete: 10 on ao3! but listen I’ve been in fandom for 18 odd years I’ve written MANY bad bad BaaAad fics that aren’t on here and that I’ve left behind me like a very unappetising smutty trail of old crumbs. So in that sense? SURELY HUNDREDS. Thousands! Including self-insert fic, a choose-your-own-adventure fic, and a comment from tiny teen me on a cbbc forum about what Dumbledore’s fashion choices would be if he were to dress as a muggle.
In-Progress: Ugh too many. One big one, several small ones, dozens of loose-ended ideas. I’m writing something from Draco’s nov, which I haven’t done yet, so that’s fun!! ALSO I have one BIG original work that, boy, boy oh boy I hope that works out.
Coming Soon/Not Yet Started: This is the mental status I have for each on every one of them COMING SOON/NOT YET STARTED
Do You Accept Prompts: SURE!! I am a messy chaos wind blowing in from the east with the attention span of a puppy and a 0.04 memory span so you can definitely go for it and try but aiiii I cannot promise anything. But inbox always open, lovelies <3
Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write: myself into a reality where I longer have thiS COLD UGH take it awAY FROM MEEe
#ughhhhhllghhhhhhhh so stuffyyyyy#so woooozy#that was a lot of typey#too sick for typey#I am a disaster when sick as you CAN CLEARLY SEE#but don't judge me#cuddle me#BRING ME SOUP#stroke my hair back and say I'll be ok#do IT#DO IT SMITHERS

Fic author ask meme
haha so @veliseraptor tagged me literally months ago, as in so long ago I have no idea when it actually was, and I didn’t get all my answers typed up until...now. actually a lot of them were typed up a few months ago and then I finally finished this yesterday on the plane home. no, I don’t know why either
Author Name: 100indecisions on AO3
Fandoms You Write For: it's pretty much all Loki at the moment and has been for the last several years. I've written for other fandoms in the past and I have others on my WIP list, but yeah, it's like 95% Loki.
Where You Post: everything is on AO3, and I do mean "everything" because I get obsessive about that sort of thing. I do still have an FFN account under ladymoriel and most of my fics are reposted there, although none of my most recent fics are because I haven't gotten around to digging up cover images for them. also FFN sucks but I crave attention/validation and there are still some people who only use FFN, so I'll get around to it at some point.
Most Popular One-Shot: for some reason “the state of my head” has 1,157 kudos on AO3, so I guess it would be that one.
Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: technically “the adventures of tiny Loki and Thor (and friends),” because it’s a multi-chapter fic (boy is it ever) and it has 1,020 kudos, but if we’re talking actual planned fic it would be “the kindness of strangers” at 623.
Favorite Story You Wrote: man, I don’t know. I’m partial to “I am a time bomb ticking away the hours to blow your world apart” because I like my headcanon and I think I structured it well, and “all this that is more than a wish is a memory” gets points for being the longest thing I’ve actually finished. but honestly I don’t know that I have a single favorite.
Story You Were Nervous to Post: haha well I'm sure there's been more than one, but if we're talking about the fic I was most nervous to post, I think that honor would go to my Grandthorki fic "I will kiss you till your breath is found," which is the most explicit AND most fucked-up fic I've written so far. I was nervous about...so many things with that one.
How Do You Pick Your Titles: probably 99% of them are song lyrics. sometimes I'll start with a specific song that's relevant to the fic itself in some way, but I also have a whole list of song lyrics that sound like good titles to me whether the rest of the song has anything to do with the subject of the fic. often I'll come up with a good lyric early in the process, just like "oh yeah I've had this hanging around in my list for ages and it works here"; otherwise, once I've finished or nearly finished a fic (or much earlier, actually, if I'm obsessing over an aspect of writing it that is...not actually writing, which happens a lot), if I still don't have a title I read through my whole list and make a much shorter list of titles that seem to fit this fic. if nothing from there seems just right, I’ll go hunting through my iTunes library and then Google for semi-relevant song lyrics. on occasion, though, the title comes first or otherwise shapes the direction of the fic, like with "I will kiss you till your breath is found"--I had a vague idea of what I might want to do, but it was very vague and I hadn't committed to it, and then I just happened to listen to some Sufjan Stevens and went "heyyyyy I know exactly what to do and it's terrible and I'm gonna do it, I have a title now, I have to do it"
Do You Outline: it depends on the fic. for long ones, at a minimum I'll write a bulleted list of plot points I need to hit, which often ends up being basically two or three pages of a zero draft that I then struggle to turn into actual prose...and then I often re-do the outline at least once or twice as I go along so I can compress it into something more useful that fits on one page and I can cross stuff out as I go. (if a list can’t fit on one page/view, there’s basically no way I can hold all of it in my head at once.) I often end up with shorter lists of scenes I still need to write and specific things to hit during revisions, too. for short fics it's not really necessary, although I often do still write up something similar if I've let it drag out over way too much time and I can't keep straight what I wanted to do with it. (don't be me.)
How Many of Your Stories are complete: welllll, as a rule I don't post WIPs because I know myself well enough to know that that way lies several different kinds of madness, so in general, my only completed fics are what's up on AO3, and everything there is complete. in practice that's not 100% true because I'm very bad at deadlines and I have a few different fics where I couldn't finish in time and I either posted the first chunk of the fic that still functioned as a self-contained story even if it wasn't the full story I'd planned to write, with the intention of properly finishing it later, or I did the same thing but worse because the part I posted was...not really a complete story. in my defense I've only done the latter a couple times, and in the case of "going down to nowhere" I really thought I'd be posting the rest soon because it was all written, it was just extremely rough, and for various reasons I still haven't gotten around to revising and posting the remaining 80% of the fic. (as far as the opposite issue goes, I have 0 finished fics that I haven't posted anywhere, because I'm too obsessive about being complete to do anything else. I think I do have one old, extremely short, very bad Lost fic on FFN that I never reposted to AO3 because I decided it sucked...and if we're being completely technical about it, I have some stories I wrote as a little kid that are technically fanfic because they featured licensed characters, but nobody wants to see those. all the other old stuff I haven't posted, including at least two Neopets fics, never got finished and that's the only reason I never posted them anywhere.)
In-Progress: uhhhh. well, this made me realize my posted WIP list is out of date, not because I've finished anything on it but because I have MULTIPLE short fics that were supposed to be QUICK so I figured I didn't need to bother putting them on the list and then they weren't quick because I am so fucking bad at 1) sitting down and actually writing and 2) finishing anything. But yeah, basically what’s on there.
Coming Soon: fuck, I don’t know. Half the fics on my WIPs list are ones I thought I could crank out in one or two sittings, AND YET. But I’d like to finish the rest of my Whumptober fic soon, because that one really should be pretty easy...and I’d also like to finish the short little Endgame fix-it I thought of on my way out of the theater, where 2012!Loki hops universes and revives IW!Loki...and then there’s the even older IW/Endgame fix-it that’s basically just “everything is fine because I say so, let’s have a little recovery”, especially because I’m like 90% sure that one’s almost done but probably some of it needs typing up and then it all needs stitching together...oh, and finally getting around to finishing typing one of two notebooks reminded me that the other theoretically short fix-it where the Guardians pick up both Thor and Loki is also nearly done, I just need to finish typing it. so...one of those, probably.
Do You Accept Prompts: in theory, although I...don't think I get prompts often enough to know one way or another? plus my brain is The Worst, so my general reaction to actually getting a prompt is basically "that's interesting but I have never had an idea in my life, ever, and apparently I'm not starting now", with an added element of social anxiety or something because it's Somebody Else's Idea and that puts a mental block on my ability to develop it as my own idea. so...anyone's welcome to send me prompts, with the understanding that I might well never do anything with it and if I do, it might take literal years.
Upcoming Story You’re the Most Excited For: I also don’t know. I mean, in recently typing up some older stuff (like the one where the Grandmaster decides publicly executing Loki sounds like a fun idea, from which I posted a couple excerpts recently) I got excited about those again, which is a good reminder of why I want to stay on top of my typing, but I don’t know if I’m more excited for one specific fic than others.
Tag Five Fanfic Authors to Answer These Questions: I have no idea who might have answered this months ago so I’ll just say that if you read this post and you want to answer these questions, please consider yourself tagged. yes, that means you.

Hey, since you mentioned wanting to write a story where Modern and Boom Sonic switch with each other because they like the other's Amy more, why not I send this as a prompt so you get to finally write it? :))
I remember saying this but… Is my ability able to fully capture the hilarity and adorableness that is Sonic switching his gf for the same gf but differently designed?
It’s like that one meme…
Also- PROMPTS ARE STILL ON SHUTDOWN! That has not changed so please, don’t send me anymore until I reopen them again or please pay one dollar to have yours worked on at once! I’m just trying to get through them all I still have a ton left. T-T I want to reopen them for you hungry shippers out there but I need to complete the ones I already have to do that!
Thank you for supporting me and patiently awaiting your prompts to be written. I’m doing my very best!
Prompt:
It wasn’t long after the two Sonics realized something…
This new world was fantastic! Boom!Sonic didn’t want to leave and Modern!Sonic wanted more time in the alternate dimensional world.
At first, it was simply for the ‘new adventure’ that they both felt but one day, Boom!Sonic lost his bandana during a chase, securing the ‘strange magical emerald’ and having landed on his back after falling through several levels of branches on a tree.
“Offph! That’s… gonna hurt in the morning.” He sounded as though he had accepted that fate, but smiled at the green emerald in his hands. “Guess this means I can go home, and Other Sonic can come home.” He slowly got up, but felt a huge pain soar up his back and linger on his shoulder blades.
“Ahhh… yep! Yep, that one hurt.” he groaned as he tried to fight through the pain and stand up.
Hunched a bit to push off with his hands, he suddenly heard a cry and looked around. “What was that? Sounded like…”
“….ooniiiccc!”
“Amy?”
“…..iiicc!”
It was growing fainter, and that’s when Modern!Sonic contacted him on the invention Tails gave him. “BBBzzzttt…! -Nic! Sonic! Hey, finally got ahold of ya! Who knew dimensional signals were so bad, right?”
“Y-yeah, hold that thought.” Boom!Sonic slowly got up, flicking his ear a moment before focusing entirely on finding who was calling his name.
It sounded like Amy, but he hadn’t seen this world’s Amy before…
“What’s up?” Modern!Sonic inquired as Boom!Sonic fought through his back pain and sped up.
Finally reaching the sound, he peeked around a tree where…
The sunlight beamed on a beautiful girl in a red dress, looking worriedly as she held a hand daintily to her chest. Though he couldn’t see her face fully, he noticed her backless dress and platform boots.
“Hey, don’t ignore me!” Modern!Sonic had waited a bit for a response, but after tapping his foot for so long, he grew impatient. “What’s the hold-up?”
“That’s-!” Boom!Sonic stuck his whole face out when he noticed her turn her face.
It was Amy! But she was more girly in this world. Her dress flared out into a quaint little hoop and she was calling out his name.
“Sooooooonnniiicc!” She cupped her hands over her mouth and let the sound travel, shaking some trees in the amount of wind that blasted out.
His quills were ruffled and he closed his eyes. “Yep, that’s Amy.” he mused, “Still able to project.”
“Amy!?” Modern!Sonic looked visibly flustered, as though reflexing to hide. “W-why are you with Amy..?”
This world’s Amy tilted her head, looking absentmindedly to the sky and lifting a hand to her ear, trying to listen for a response. “Ohhhh, who am I kidding.” she pouted, slouching a bit. “He never responds back… I’ll have to find him myself!” She cheered instantly up, mesmerizing Boom!Sonic for a moment at how inexplicably cheery this Amy seemed to be.
Maybe she wasn’t a hot, emotional mess this time around?
“I heard her calling me… rude to not show up, right?” Boom!Sonic smiled a bit goofily off to the side of his face, but Modern!Sonic saw the shift and frowned, lowering his eyes.
“Hey, focus on the stakes here. Amy will be fine once I’m back.” He said that… but took a second to look back at this other dimension’s Amy.
She was speaking with the team, and smiling and acting rather mature and chill.
He tilted his head a second, smiling casually as he noticed her laughter and then excited expression. She wasn’t focused squarely on him at all. She was in her own little world and living her life without a care in the world.
When she looked to him and caught his eye, the two straightened up a second, and then Boom!Amy nervously fidgetted and looked away, stroking her two curled quills against her cheeks.
It was cute, so he crinkled his nose a bit and beamed, closing his eyes and thinking it a rather subtle thing to avoid further attention.
She wasn’t so easy to figure out anymore, and the complexity of her shyness along with taking a second look at him–hoping he wouldn’t notice– made him dote on the difference even more.
Now, granted, both Sonics’ had no intention towards these different Amys. It was all just a ‘curious observation’ for the most part. But Boom!Sonic had to get the emerald back to Tails and Knuckles… might as well make sure this world’s Amy is safe and sound too, right?
And Modern!Sonic, he still had to fight off this dimension’s Eggman from causing havoc to the villagers. Fighting alongside this dimension’s Amy and getting to see a different side of Amy wouldn’t damper any plans, now would it?
So, Modern!Sonic took up a bandana. Boom!Sonic never looked for his own bandana.
Boom!Sonic tried his best to swagger over to this Amy, quickly informing Modern!Sonic that it was dangerous for Amy to be out in the woods on her nose like this, and with Modern!Sonic so distracted by the new fashion-statement, he agreed.
Modern!Sonic did fail to mention his ruse to Boom!Sonic, but Boom!Sonic didn’t bother to hide the fact that his bandana was missing…
Modern!Sonic had simply swiped one of his from his room and never corrected anyone when they said ‘Did you guys switch already?’.
Thus, Boom!Sonic met Modern!Amy, and Modern!Sonic got to view Boom!Amy’s many sides a little longer.
“Oh, Sonic! You really came!” In absolute joy, Modern!Amy pounced into Boom!Sonic’s arms.
Now, because he wasn’t expecting this, it did knock the wind out of him and her crushing hold did cause his back pain to spike up again.
“Woah!” Boom!Sonic stiffened, causing Modern!Amy to let go, “Oh, gosh! Are you alright? You look…” she gasped, “Sonic!” Clutching his arms, she looked him over and then sweetly met his eyes. “You’re so filthy and full of leaves! Did you fall? Did Eggman do this to you?”
‘Wow, she’s so caring! I mean, Amy always was, but this one looks like she’s about to cry!’ He nervously chuckled, “Haha… Oh, well, you know. Saving the world and all.” he shrugged, and she thought him acting a little silly.
“Hehe, you certainly are acting your age.” She found it odd how inviting his eyes were, as though he wasn't bothered by her doting attitude today. “For someone who looks like they’d been battling in a dirt pile, you’re still as carefree as always!” she put her hands together, openly praising and admiring him. “Haa~ A working man is always handsome, but the true daredevil’s are the charmers!”
His eyes turned to dots.
She was openly flirting with him!?
He nervously chuckled again, scratching the back of his head. ‘H-how do I respond to that!?’
She giggled, but when he didn’t make an exhausted combat, batted her eyes and stared at him in confusion. “What? No retort today?” she moved closer towards his face at an angle, but he just leaned back, embarrassed at her kind affections.
“…You certainly are in a different mood today.” she placed a finger on her mouth, but then hummed a cheery giggle again. “I like you this way!” she took his hands, pulling him more towards her.
“Yee-eh!” He was surprised by how direct she took his hands and how close she brought him to her… Now he was sweating, wondering if this could all be too much…
“Hmm? A Chaos Emerald?” She curiously felt something in his hand and looked down.
Her hands moving over his gave him a weird sensation. He blushed and looked away, “J-just the normal chores! Haha…ha…”
“Hmm?” She didn’t think Sonic would use that word. “Chores? Since when do you think about domestic living?”
He sweated even more now. ‘Did I blow my cover?!’
“And you’re so tall!” Amy stepped back to see how far she actually had to look.
“Str-stretched my back today! Haha!” He improvised stretching, which was something Sonic might do, but this seemed in a more joking manner.
Amy watched a moment and then smiled with a nod, “That’s more like you!” she then hugged his arm, causing him to lose balance momentarily. “I’ve missed you so much! It’s no fun when you’re gone…” she cooed, rubbing her cheek into his shoulder.
He looked directly forward as he felt her light touch turn to a more sincere cuddle against his arm…
“Gah!~ You keep me waiting for so long, Sonic… Would it be so bad to invite me on more adventures once in a while?” she continued to fake a whine and lean more against him. “Hehe! Have you lost weight? You seem skinner too..” she lightly traced a finger down his arm, moving away a bit, “But I bet that’s from all the working out you’ve done! But you were always my big strong hero, Sonic~ No need to show off now! You’ve already won me over with your handsome smile, silly! Teehee!”
Now Boom!Sonic felt a strange high, hearing so many compliments, not a hint of sarcasm either.
He puffed up his chest. He absorbed every bit of her fawning fangirlness. He took to the stage with a confident air that no one could now strip from his being.
“Well, I can’t let my daring doos overwhelm my dashing looks~” he struck a pose and gave her his best ‘heroic smolder’ that he could manage.
It worked a little too well..,
She blinked a few moments as though stunned he was playing back, but immediately became energized and continued what she felt was ‘working’ and wouldn’t let up.
Although, this Sonic was desperate for Words of Affirmation, and didn’t mind playing up the ‘hero card’ to win some much deserved recongition.
He took her back with him and continued to play charming~
Modern!Sonic had a different approach. Rather than play a role, he was himself, and immediately caught Boom!Amy off-guard by how gentlemenly he could be.
“Watch yourself!” he slid in during an Eggman attack on the village and knocked a robot from hitting her away, coming up behind her and giving her a pleasant wink and smile. “I’ve got your back!”
She blushed, giggling a little crazily as she sunk her head down and tried to hide behind her bouncing shoulders.
“What’s gotten into you today, Amy? You’re completely distracted!” Tails complained, but Amy continued to see hearts as she watched this ‘new and improved’ Sonic take over the battlefield and spark some fun and joy into her life again.
“It’s like… he’s never worried about anything before… so chill and sporty…” she placed a hand on her cheek and sighed into it, her hammer resting on her shoulder and neck.
“She’s out of it.” Tails concluded, unamused at her reaction.
He kept being polite and kind to her on the battlefield, posing without effort and stating heroic lines unrehearsed.
Later, he offered to take Amy home if that’s where she was heading, but she told him she would run beside him instead.
“H-huh?” Modern!Sonic was honestly surprised to hear that. “But… I’m fast.” he pointed to himself, innocently stunned. “I’m speed.” Amy giggled and continued in her answer.
“That way, we can chat about that other world you visited. It seems to have… well, changed you a lot. I’m just curious how it went, is all~” she kicked her foot out a bit and started running, “Besides, since when have I not been able to keep up?”
That sass and spunk was like revving an engine. Sonic gave a crooked smile, raising an eyebrow and charging ahead.
“If you say so!”
“Woah!” Amy was coughing up the dust from his speedy race by her, but she smiled and thought he might be toying with her. “Okay, hotshot. It’s time to knock your ego down a size… again!”
She tried to continue conversation but Modern!Sonic just wanted to test her limits, enjoying seeing her grace as she acrobatically jumped from tree to tre and raced alongside him.
It was almost like a dance, trying to ‘up-stage’ the other. Modern!Sonic liked the sudden rivalry and even praised her at the end, making her once again questioningly look to him.
“Yeah, okay.” she goofily spat out, wiping some loose leaves and dirt off her tight dress.
“What? You don’t believe me?” Sonic folded his arms, tilting his head and squinting his eyes a bit. ‘She really isn’t used to compliments here… is she?’
“Oh, like you really think I did a good job out there.” she thought he was playing her up to some slapstick joke. “Like I really impressed you or something. Har-dee-har-har.”
“…Amy.” Modern!Sonic purposefully adjusted his tone. This made her immediately straighten up and feel the sincerity and seriousness of his voice.
She was startled by it, but acknowledged his address to her by slightly double-taking over her shoulder.
Her eyes wavered nervously but he waited till they finally held at his own, kind expression.
“…You did great out there.” he repeated, this one less excited and more relaxed. “We should race again sometime. It was fun.”
Her face slowly brightened red, and she slapped her hands to her two cheeks in flushed embarrassment. “WHO ARE YOU!?” she exclaimed, causing Modern!Sonic to grip his gut and laugh and laugh and laugh…
When the two Sonic’s finally switched, Boom!Amy knew it wasn’t Boom!Sonic who had charmed her up the whole day, but Modern!Amy was strikingly confused why her tactics that seemed to have worked the day before were now getting her nowhere.
“What happened to you?”
“I met you.” he grinned, winking to her and rubbing a hand over her head. “There’s a lot I don’t know about you, Ames.”
“…Ames?” Modern!Amy wrinkled her brow.
Modern!Sonic just laughed at an inside joke and carried on as Modern!Amy frustratedly followed after him. He still let her hold his arm, but he wasn’t showing-off all handsomely like he did before…
Boom!Amy initiated more races out of Boom!Sonic, who found it hard to break his newly developed ego-ride and learn how to be humble in front of his team again… but Boom!Amy was sure to help him with that…

6,7, and 27 with oumami please? Also this blog is one of my favorites!
Aww, it’s so nice to hear that! :D
6. Laughter
Amami is a very positive person but it’s not that easy to make him laugh in this genuine and loud way where he’s so amused that he starts snorting and has tears in the corners of his eyes. Ouma made it his own personal mission to make him laugh like that as often as possible.
7. Travel
Listen, I love Amami being the Ultimate Adventurer. I don’t think that Ouma joins him on his travels that often but when he does they have a lot of fun. He always makes Amami carry his shit and complains a lot but he likes to listen to Amami when he’s planning where they’re going next. He also loves Amami’s stories about what he was doing during his recent travels.
27. Sleep
Amami likes to leave the window open when he’s sleeping, even during the colder seasons. Ouma uses it as an excuse to cling to him in his sleep, pressing his cold feet against Amami’s back.
