"I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own." — Saison d'Enfer, Nuit de l'Enfer (Night of Hell) (1874)

“You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love...” ―Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
“There is something in your throat that wants to get out and you won't let it.” — Margaret Atwood, Power Politics: Poems (I love that it says "that wants" twice because it's for both of them on their feelings)

Fanfiction Review
I can already tell this is gonna be super confusing bc I've been writing fic since I was 12 but have since gone through so many identity changes. But let's play anyway!
Thanks for the tag @redead-red
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
My current library is 8. I don't actually write fanfic too often unless a specific idea intrigues me-- or something in the fanon just doesn't line up with me. I do have at least 4ish more stories planned and maybe a revised version of an ancient story from when I was young. 2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
166,451! Pretty neato!
3. How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?
Uh, in no specific order,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (lost to purging)
Doctor Who (you ain't gonna find these)
Sonic
NiGHTs into Dreams
Dead by Daylight (<3)
Danny Phantom (my beloathed) Supernatural (my other beloathed)
and uhhhh, I think a bunch of various other video games I can't remember. For the sake of brevity I'm gonna put the rest under the cut.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
This is actually pretty funny bc I have so few fics released. I only get emails for certain ones all the time, so I wrote this part out by guessing, but I ended up not needing to change it. (also, don't read most of these; they're old and bad)
1. Schrodinger's Adolescent, 337 Kudos (Danny Phantom)
2. Teen Years and How to Survive Them, 97 Kudos (Secret Trio)
3. Two Fake Feds Come up the Laneway the other dayyyyyy, 56 Kudos (Letterkenny/Supernatural)
4. Brother's Keeper, 40 Kudos (Halloween, DBD)
5. Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon, 37 Kudos (Sonic)
5. Which of your fic do you want more attention for?
I'll be real here, I still enjoy most of the work I did for both Beach House Bummer, and Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon. I just wish I got more love for the latter bc I might be inspired to finish it lmao.
6. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I really try to! I love the long rambly comments I get on Schrodinger's because I can feel those people are giving me the same passion I put into my work-- Though most of the time I get the generic "post more" or "update plz" which I dunno I'm grateful for the interaction. Still, I don't really want to repeat like "I'm trying my best, dude." about 12 times a day.
7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I'll be real I only have two completed fics rn-- but I can tell you I had this one fic that I wrote when I was fourteen where the ninja turtles had to burn down a lab full of half-born mutant embryos, and like I remember writing that and then going to middle school the next day like "They don't know I'm a literary genius."
8. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Probably the Letterkenny/Supernatural crossover-- I feel very strongly about SPN and how people take it way too seriously, so when I found out it was filmed in Canada. It used famous Canadian actors from the show Letterkenny, it felt way too good to pass up. I do hope to write in that space again when I'm feeling less depresso-espresso.
9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yeah. It's probably a big reason why you'll never see the tmnt fics for a while. I also used to write a lot of OC stories, and this was back in 2014 so like those were def hit the hardest. I'm glad to say it's like... subsided for the most part. I don't get hate as much as I just get really confusing and creepy comments, which don't hurt my rejection-sensitive-ass as much.
10. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Hahahaha, no.
I am kind of bad at writing it, and I don't really like writing it. Which yeah that makes sense. My friends sometimes when they find out I write fanfic as a joke they'll send me some of the worst examples smut they can find and to test my talent I'll try to rewrite it to make it some kind of titillating-- but alas it just isn't my forte. The cons of being an asexual I guess.
Tumblr media
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Uh, yes and no? I think I had one of my older fics stolen, retranslated, and then retranslated again to English? That was so long ago tho.
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, but I'd love to give it a shot sometime.
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Honestly, it's sonadow. I know it's cringe but I'm free, dammit. Outside of that I guess my favorite dynamic is jock/nerd, which you've probably gleaned from my resume here fhsdkjf.
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
I've been working on Teen Years and How to Survive them since I was 16, I only started making headway on it when I was 19-- so I feel like that speaks for itself hskjhg.
15. What are your writing strengths?
It's been told to me that I'm very funny and I write convincing dialog that captures a character's voice. Which is extremely flattering despite the fact that I feel like I'm tricking you all.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
probably scenery and landscape, if I'm honest. I also accidentally keep creating scenes just for the dialog instead of action or environment.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think as long as I can guess what they're saying from context clues, and the writer is courteous enough to include body language and the like, then it's mostly harmless. I love including a bunch of references in fic whether it's cultural, historical, or just like a quote from a movie or something so I have a bunch of tabs open regardless it wouldn't be too inconvenient for me to fire up google translate or something.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Probably Schrodinger's Adolescent, it really opened up a lot of doors for me in the DP fandom and I got to meet a lot of cool people because of it. It really cheered me up from a dark place. And despite me writing it initially out of anger and spite its grown into this soft thing that really means a lot to me.
20. What fic are you most proud of?
Honestly, I can't pick. I'm both embarrassed by them all and yet glad they bring people some form of comfort.
Uhhhh who to tag-- I don't really know
@ten0rreaper is the only one I can think of-- whoever else I guess can have at it. I'm not very good at these things lmao.

I'm so happy you liked The Night Flight Orchestra!! They deserve so much more recognition than they get tbh! In fact I only enjoy two (German) musicals, but I've been crazy about one of them for 10 years now (Tanz der Vampire, the one my fav song is from, it does have a Broadway version but we don't talk about that one), and I've also seen that one live! It was absolutely breathtaking. I've heard about Ninja Sex Party, though I've never listened to any of their songs, but I def will now! -✨
Oh, also about musicals, my girlfriend is really into Hamilton, have you listened to that one? I've seen some MDZS/Hamilton crossovers floating around and for once I knew what's going on haha. Also!! I barely know any of the songs you mentioned but I will check them out because Wangxian, also Somewhere Only We Know is going straight onto my Wangxian playlist (if it's not there already) I had quite an emotionally exhausting day so I'm just gonna ask how yours was! Hope that's fine w you😅 -✨
Ugh there are so many bands that I love and cling to thinking ‘why don’t more people know about them?!’ Honestly, there’s so much hidden talent in the music industry when you pull away from the mainstream radio (not saying mainstream isn’t talented also but, a lot goes overlooked and never gets airtime ;____;). I think it’s one of the reasons why I get so excited when I discover or get recommended new music because it’s like yes! More music to love and get others to fall in love with also! 💖
What are your favourite musicals about? I’m guessing Tanz der Vampire is vampire related, which sounds interesting already! I love vampire stories done well. They’re just so fun to play with.  Out of what I’ve seen in theatre there’s been Wicked, The Lion King, Avenue Q, We Will Rock You and Aladdin. In the past recent few years though I’ve seen more theatre and music/orchestral things - my Mum and I took my Dad to see War of the Worlds on stage a few years back since he loves the story and the music from it, and I’ve seen Ramin Djawadi perform some of the music from Game of Thrones when they were touring as well as the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular. There’s something special about hearing some of your favourite soundtracks live. I’d love to do one of those movie events where they have an orchestra in too performing the music as it happens (I’ve seen it done for both Lord of the Rings and Star Wars) but they never seem to do them near where I live 😔
I have listened to Hamilton, yes! I have Disney+ too so I watched the movie version too when it came out (since it’s one I doubt I’ll see live). I really enjoyed it, a lot more than I thought I would honestly! I’ve seen a few photosets for it for MDZS and been like ‘oh well, that photoset hurts me emotionally but I love what you’ve done! 😂’ I think there was one for the ‘who lives who dies who tells your story?’ quote I saw just after I finished episode 33 and was like ‘...now’s not the time tumblr I am hURT (but I’ll reblog it anyway because it’s pretty)’.
Ahhh I hope you enjoy them! 💖 A lot of those song links I gave you are cover versions of the original, but I dunno about you but sometimes I hear a cover version and think ‘yes, this works better for what I’m interpreting right now’, haha! That cover of Somewhere Only We Know always gets me because it feels so soft and magical yet with that edge of yearning to it, perfect for our Lan Zhan. The original version is good too but I prefer the Lily Allen version for Wangxian. The cover of the song was actually used on a Christmas advert here a few years back, and it remains one of my all time favourite ones because it’s so cute! Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji would be happy, the advert had a hare in it too!
Aw no, I hope everything’s okay and that you have a better day tomorrow, CC!  💖 My day’s been good though, a little tiring. I was working most of the morning so when I got home I curled up to sleep for a little bit, haha. Most of this evening I’ve just been relaxing and playing around in photoshop. I have the day off tomorrow though so I’ve decided I’m going to write some Christmas cards (since I keep putting it off) and try and find a Netflix show I’ve heard some people talk about which is about how some of the most memorable Christmas movies were made! 🥰 It’s called ‘the Holiday Movies that Made Us’. They had a first season which was just called ‘the Movies that Made Us’ and it was really interesting, so I’m looking forward to seeing what the new one will be like!

Muffin Report
Short update with some future plans at the bottom!
Tumblr media
I was gonna save the rainbow orbs but FUCK SAVING DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE A SHRED OF PATIENCE??? NO
Tumblr media
Also yay! She’s around a third of the way through her episode level. Also, very much a sidenote, but everytime I write “Mito Aino” for tags I keep thinking of  “Minako Aino” from Sailor Moon. Fuck the Nanoha crossover and the something-ogoti (whatever) crossover, I want a Sailor Moon crossover.
Although, if Neptune and Uranus were in the game as a dual unit then I’d probably go broke faster than you can say “whale,” so maybe it’s a good thing there isn’t one.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Mito, I got this memoria to max ascension and max level! Yay! Although, I never realized until now just how low the guard chance is at III-- in comparison, the passive taunt memo is at IV in an un-ascended state. Well, the def up is still nice to have.
Other Stuff:
I finished recording the quote videos for characters I actually have! Well, excluding Mito atm because I don’t have her last poke quote unlocked. 
Anyways, so! Now that those are largely done, I was thinking of making some more. Here are some tentative plans:
1) Recording a small pvp mirrors series about various teams and builds one can use. Maybe? I was thinking of doing this with the angle of education, but it might be interesting to just record my daily 5 mirror battles too. Who knows.
2) Recording the magical girl personal stories! The gamepress site was doing this (link here) but it hasn’t updated in a while. I’d start with my few limited girls, then 4stars, then 3stars, and so on. So yeah! More recording to do. I might not do the 2stars since anyone can do those, although I’d do welfare units as they can be limited. 
3) Recording event stories! You can’t see something like Ren’s event if you weren’t there for it, but this way you’d be able to.
Now, for video ideas Two and Three, I’m a little worried about copyright stuff. I don’t have ads playing on any of my shitty videos, but I’m not sure about the legality of this stuff. I need to look it up, and then we’ll see what happens.
I also really need to figure out what is causing the audio lag because it’s awful and obnoxious.

i just saw reeve carney live and i’ve been listing to his new album nonstop and “resurrection” would make a really REALLY good character song, so THAT!
