20 Questions for Fic Writers

@gardensofthemoon thank you so much for the tag! It was super interesting reading your responses :D <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 51

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 465,678

3. What fandoms do you write for? Bold to assume I write at all I've always mainly just written for the Silm BUT I have recently become obsessed with The Locked Tomb series so miiiiiiight do some writing in that universe. At some point. Maybe.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Yield to the Moment takes the cake here, which is not surprising given that it's a 300k Angbang modern AU slowburn beast of a fic.

Then we've got Strange New World, set in my Swords 'verse, which takes a look at Melkor and Mairon post-Dagor Dagorath through a mental health-y and relationship/character study lens.

Third up is A bond once called fealty, also in the Swords 'verse.

Then there's The Metal Cage, which is shameless Angbang PWP focused on chastity play.

And finally A quiet sort of introspection, also part of the Swords 'verse, a bit experimental in the sense of taking Melkor's POV in second person.

5. Do you respond to comments? Always! I feel it's only fair if someone's taken the time to share their thoughts with me. Plus it's often such a fun, creative space where you get to bounce around ideas with the commenter.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Not entirely sure, actually. Don't think I tend to write particularly angsty endings. No Other Choice, maybe? It's about the Fëanorian attack on the Havens and the choice Elwing makes when she jumps into the sea.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Probably YTTM. I'm pretty pleased with the ending actually; feels like it pulls together a bunch of narrative threads and highlights all the amazing growth the characters have done. Also, it's a wedding at the end of a very long, very bumpy slowburn.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I have, yeah, years and years ago, around an abusive take on Angbang; but generally I find that the Silm fandom is very lovely and very welcoming.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! Quite a lot of it haha. I think, for me, the appeal isn't so much the physical act in and of itself, but what's going on for the characters behind the scenes as it were, emotionally/psychologically. Especially with a ship like Angbang where they spectacularly fail at talking to each other so a lot of juicy unspoken stuff gets acted out through physical intimacy.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Nope, never written a crossover, nor do they hold much appeal for me personally.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I have. Sadly those fics had been written around 2015-16 and I deleted them a few years back at a time when my mental health was... spicy. I couldn't say whether the translations are still out there somewhere.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yep! YTTM started out as a co-write.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Angbang. There's just a lot of layers to their dynamic that scratch an itch in my brain. Power imbalance. Fucked-up-ness. Possessiveness/protectiveness. Worship. Loyalty.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I've got a WIP from almost ten years ago about Celebrimbor in Gondolin and I'm not sure if the interest/time/motivation is still there for me to ever pick it up again :')

16. What are your writing strengths? Hmm I tend to put a fair amount of thought into characters' emotional experiences and I also enjoy playing around with fun ways to describe things.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I guess there's a flipside to focusing on emotional experiences in that sometimes I might humanise characters like the Ainur too much and lose some of their eldritchness. I also tend to be quite disorganised with my plotting, and by disorganised I mean that I just sit down and start writing without a plan or outline and sometimes I can end up scrambling to tie everything together and make it make sense and I'm not sure how effective that is. Also also, I don't find endings very easy to come up with.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Sure, if done purposefully in a way that furthers the plot or tells me something about the characters.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Harry Potter, I think! Those fics are not on the internet anymore and that is probably for the best haha.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Ohhh see, I don't actually like my own writing very much (cheers, perfectionism) and I very very rarely re-read it. But I do think some bits in YTTM are fun, and my latest ficcy that I've written (Reason to Try) which is a ficcy of @tarmairons' ficcy kinda shifted something in my brain for the better and I revisit it sometimes on bad mental health days.

Let's see which lovely people to tag: @markedasinfernal, @elevenelvenswords, @undercat-overdog, @lvsifer, @foxindarkness and anyone else who sees this and would like to have a go (if you want to! zero pressure)

#meme things #thank you again for the tag!#this was fun :3

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tag @amidnight--dreary!

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

Currently 46. No doubt there will be more to come, once I manage to actually finish any of my WIPs.

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

234.084. I'm a little disappointed in myself right now.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

The bulk of my AO3 fics are for the MCU but I have moved on from that and I'm mostly writing for Peaky Blinders right now (and possibly in the future as well). I have two unfinished MCU fics that I will eventually finish, I swear. There's also a few fics written for other fandoms but it's usually single fics.

4. Top five fics by kudos

In order: The King Is Dead, Long Live The King, Winter Butterfly, A Simple Act, Early Bird, and Sleepy Head.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes. Though I'm sure I have missed some...

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

Oh, hm. I think it would be Dead Boy's Poem, which in my not so humble opinion is a great story, it's just that it ends very badly.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I'm sure there's a few that qualify... At the top of my head I'd pick there goes my mind racing, just because it's a story that's very dear to me and one I actually love to reread. But honestly, there's probably a few fics that qualify, A Simple Act would be one of them for example. Winter Butterfly might fall in that category once it's actually finished...

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I think I remember getting some way back when but I can't remember what it was about, not that it even matters. I do recall having a brief argument with the person, I just deleted the comment thread. Nothing since then I think... I hope it remains that way.

9. Do you write smut?

Ah, well, not really. I have tried my hand at it but it wasn't anything explicit, basically everything but, so right leading up to the steamy stuff. I felt a bit awkward writing that, so I probably stick to hinting at stuff etc. But who knows, perhaps in the future...

10. Craziest crossover?

Well, I don't think I've written crossovers. As far as crazy stories go though, it's definitely the two stories involving the Avengers and resurrected dinosaurs. (Don't ask.)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so, which is good. Hopefully it won't ever happen.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Sadly not. I have translated my own shit though. Well, one. I wrote it in my native language and later translated it to English to post it. That's also one of the first fics I ever posted on AO3, way back in 2019.

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

Yes! Winter Butterfly is a project of the wonderful @worstloki and me, which we really have to finish at some point... I recall that we talked about it at the end of last year, and I forgot to check on the fic since then... Sorry.

14. All time favorite ship?

Ah damn. I have to say that it's probably Tofie (Tommy and Alfie from Peaky Blinders). It's the ship I write mostly for now and also the ship that kind of has stolen my heart, so to speak. I just live bisexual disaster gangsters. It used to be Frostiron. It's the one I've written most for and it still is dear to me but unfortunately it has been dethroned.

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

Oh. At the top of my head it's a fic called "When Dragons Cry", which I haven't posted and it just sits in my docs and judges me. It's Frostiron and Loki is a dragon and his egg has been stolen. There's convoluted lore to it as well.

But also a fic/series called "here I am alone between the heavens and the embers" which is about Tommy from Peaky and ghosts. Do ask me about that. Maybe if I talk about it, I will actually fucking work on it. It's so ambitious in my opinion, and I don't know if I am confident enough in my abilities to actually write it. I mean, I have started it and I do like what I've written, but damn...

There's probably more... Now I feel awful for all the abandoned projects... Anyway!

16. What are your writing strengths?

I cannot answer this because I don't know. Even if I think longer about it, I probably won't be able to come up with a satisfactory answer. It's probably something others are more capable of answering for me.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Honestly, same answer as 16. Though I guess I could say smut because it's just something I haven't practiced as much.

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I think it's good. Though my language knowledge is very limited. I have used some in the past but it's usually very simple phrases that even a translator cannot fuck up.

19. First fandom you wrote in?

I've had that question recently and my answer is still not any more definite. It's probably Naruto, NCIS or Warriors. Though the more I think about it, the more I believe it was Warriors. But can't remember honestly.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

There's a bunch but if I have to pick, I'm gonna pick Lest We Forget again because it's a fic I'm very, very proud of and which deserves more attention in my not so humble opinion.

Tagging some writers, hope you don't mind, also no pressure obviously... @poormeowmeowcollector @justhallucinating @rabentochter @whentommymetalfie @justrainandcoffee @andtherewerefireworks

#writer asks #peaky blinders #tommy x alfie #marvel #frostiron

illicit affairs | eleven

*Ellie's POV* When I woke up, Matt's side of the bed felt cold and empty. Maybe he was already awake, but it was so quiet you could've heard a pin drop. I shot out of bed and looked around my apartment but he was actually gone. He didn’t leave a single trace of himself here. My body fell onto my couch as the silence drowned me, this hurt more than I expected. I fought tears as I went back into my room to grab my phone and saw I had a text from him.

I’m sorry I left this morning and didn’t wake you. I don’t think I could handle saying goodbye to you again. I still want to be your friend, but I need some time. Take care of yourself, Matthews.

I sadly smiled as I re-read his text. He probably wanted to be left alone so I deleted the paragraph I wrote. I checked my other texts and saw I had one from Noah. Seeing his name on my phone again was giving me some serious deja vu.

I’ll be landing around 6 tonight if that’s okay? Of course…do you want me to pick you up?

No I’ll get an Uber… I saw the 1975 are in town tonight so I got us tickets. Show starts at 8 so be ready when I get there :) Trying to schmooze me already? … is it working? I’m not admitting anything, Sebastian. I’ll take that as a yes ;)

I rolled my eyes, he hasn’t changed a bit when it came to pursing me. I looked at the clock and it was 10:30…did I really sleep in that late? While I waited for Noah to get here I decided to deep clean my house and change my bedding since it hadn’t been done in a couple weeks. I threw my headphones on and put Bad Omens entire discography on shuffle while I cleaned. The entire time I hummed along to the lyrics…I had to smile, I missed their music so much. Depriving myself of their music was torture.

The clock read 3:30 by the time I was done so I headed into my bathroom to shower and get ready. My head still couldn’t wrap around the idea of Noah being here in a matter of hours, it felt surreal. I was worried it would be awkward since we haven’t spent more than five minutes alone together in a year. At least we were doing something tonight that would take the tension off of us for a while.

I got out of the shower and did my usual going out make up: a classic black wing and red lipstick. After I blow dried my hair I threw it into some rollers to give it volume. The carpet in my closet almost had a hole in it as I paced around deciding what to wear. The 1975 always reminded me of my early twenties where tumblr was all the rage so I grabbed a simple little black dress and paired it with an oversized denim jacket and black high top converse.

How as it only 5:30? Shit this was dragging. I poured myself a glass of wine while I waited for Noah to get here to help ease my nerves. I blasted The 1975 to pump myself up, getting me really excited for the concert. I had been so wrapped up in work and my life that I forgot they were coming to town.

Just getting out of the Uber, how do I get up?

Buzz 1634, it’s also my apartment number :)

My heart started to thunder in my chest as I waited for him to get here. My hands were also shaking and becoming clammy as I polished off my glass of wine. I ran to my deck and opened the door to get some fresh air, taking deep breaths until I heard a knock on the door.

He’s here.

My footsteps felt heavy and slow as I walked to the door. Fallingforyou started to play in the background, how fitting. My breath hitched as I unlocked the door and was met with Noah’s beautiful face. Fuck I missed this and him.

“Wow...” he stopped and looked me up and down. I watched his every move until our eyes met, causing a pulse between my hips.

“Thanks for the compliment.” I joked to lighten the tension. I moved out of the way and he walked past me with his luggage. “How was your flight?”

“Quick.” He replied, his eyes scanning my apartment this time. I guess this was his first time here. “Folio was right, your apartment is fucking sick.”

“Thank you.” I swallowed. “Make yourself at home.”

“Do you mind if I shower and get ready?”

“Not at all. You can use the bathroom in my room or if you’re okay with bath toys you can use the guest bathroom.” I suggested as I pointed down the hall. I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for me to suggest mine but he was so tall I thought it would be a better option.

“I’ll use yours.” He says, licking his lips. I shifted my weight to my other foot as I watched him walk towards my bedroom. Fuck he was making me so nervous. He turned around and gave me a final look before closing the door.

Tonight was gonna be interesting.

My top 23 gameplay moments

Thanks to @anamoon63 for tagging me! You've probably seen my top 23 screenshots but as I was trying to narrow them all down I did feel like my favourite storyline moments were not the same as my favourite pictures. So I'm going to take this tag and tell you the top 23 gameplay events I've had this year. Not all have screenshots as some of them happened before I started writing down and capturing my gameplay.

23. I did actually enjoy writing Bella and Mortimer pulling away from each other as Mortimer began to prioritise his writing over his family.

22. Seeing in thought bubbles that Paris and Samir both had crushes on the sims I wanted them crushing on. Sweet success!

21. Back when my game correctly did university grades and three out of five of my university students earned their degrees with honors! Devin, Luna and Cassandra.

20. Adding in Dina and Nina Caliente. Sadly Mortimer died so they haven't gotten a lot of screentime yet BUT I think they look great and have plans to bring them back in in time, they still control the Goth fortune after all.

19. Getting Bob his dog Dale which allowed Bob to get fit and healthy. He's still heavy set but it's mostly muscle now.

18. When Reece got a pop up about his crush randomly showing up at football practice despite his actual crush Samir being on the football team...

17. When Deanna and Paris completely ruined my story plans by kissing during a shopping trip in a different rotation, and I had to do sneaky screenshots so you couldn't see them in the background. Then when I went back to play Deanna she still had the first kiss option so I could write things my way.

16. When I was able to edit settings so that Devin and Luna could have kids that would be genetically related to them both. I usually like to keep my gameplay semi realistic when it comes to having kids but I knew Devin would not get pregnant being an actress and wanted the chance of a kid that looked like her.

15. My sims commiting home invasion before it became EA official. See Devin walking into the Pancakes house like modern day Goldilocks. Taking a bath, cooking a white cake, and only half eating some food.

14. Joey's glow up from little kid to attractive young adult was a nice surprise. I'm so glad he rolled wanting kids because if I can't get a Devin lookalike, maybe I can get a Joey lookalike down the line. Note to self, put eyelashes on more of my male sims.

13. When this new blonde girl in high school kept looking miserably at Deanna during the lesson. And I had Deanna go cheer her up only to discover when looking through her traits that she was also a lesbian. Cheers Paris for spawning at just the right time.

12. Kelly rolling the evil trait after being a destructive toddler was hilarious. I never would have picked it by myself but now I revel in writing him being a jerk to others.

11. When I got Milton to waddle across the road after Bella went missing. And again when I got him to ditch Dina and Nina and run away to see Alexander.

10. Rahul repeatedly spawning outside the Goth house for no apparent reason. This of course led to a friendship and eventual romance with Cassandra. Stalking may pay off???

9. Just watching Kaori ski has honestly been so fun. I look forward to it when I play her household. For those that don't know Charlie used Mix & Mingle for a blind date and Kaori was the second woman she met from that.

8. INFANTS! Specifically playing with alien infants like Silas and Pollock who are even more adorable and hilarious than human infants.

7. Writing Bob and Eliza as being in love. Taking the opposite nature of their personalities and finding a way where they actually work well together. I always smile when they go to woohoo and Eliza also dumps her clothes on the floor like Bob rather than in the basket.

6. When Reece got a crush on Samir after literally saying one thing to him, guess they'd been bonding off screen. In the York rotation Samir had come over and yelled at Reece, and my brain went he's probably just a closeted gay. Then I checked and he actually was! For storyline purposes though I have him as never being in denial of that.

5. Savannah and Mercedes being mini clones of Rahul. I love it so much. I also have really liked playing this latest storyline where they are not pleased at the idea of a sibling, they can be two little terrors.

4. Adam accepting the birth of both of his kids despite not wanting children. I didn't know if I could do enough to get him there but each time he was able to.

3. Keira getting sick during her Halloween party date and Marta looking after her. Not planned but ended up pretty sweet.

2. James proposing to Alexander when he was a townie, despite autonomous proposals being turned off and the fact that he had a living wife at that point. You rebel against the code James!

1. When Adam ignored autonomous proposals being turned off, and showed up in the middle of Suzanna's shift at the science lab to propose. They were living together by this point and clearly he got sick of me ignoring his wants while I played him at home.

So @azuhrasims @marcishaun @sharona-sims and anyone really if you have some top gameplay events from this year, doesn't have to be a whole 23, want to share? Also @julesbbsea17 I KNOW you must have had some kind of crazy memorable gameplay events in your game this year... *flashes back to that random unknown thing bobbing in the water beside your lot in Sulani that we still don't have the identity of*

On hiatus for the length of time it took to pass between one Cuda game and one Sharks win....I mean truly.

Spiritually this is a livejournal post but sadly we're on tumblr so I'm just turning reblogs off and calling it a day.

Gave a sermon today about being trans and how there are trans children and youth at our church that the church is failing by their inaction and their disaffection and I was so fucking steamed about having to give it because I'm tired of being the token trans guy. The grandfather of a youth group kid who disclosed to me that they are trans but were so worried about telling their grandparents came up to me after service and told me he thought it was a really important message and that he was glad I am part of the life of the church. So that unfortunately made it all worthwhile and I will probably be strong-armed into being tokenized again in future services.

Stuff blew up at work and there's a huge org-wide mess and everyone is so afraid I will run away screaming and they keep telling me that things will get better. I'm just here like, this barely scratches the surface of the shit I had to put up with at the library, I know you all are upset and of course you have a right to be but this does not even begin to touch the level of toxicity I was accustomed to for 10 years. People keep telling me like they want to soothe me that the actions the board of directors have taken means that they're taking [x allegations] really seriously and are committed to change. And I'm like ???? There was zero manager oversight at any library I have ever worked at and no one in management gave a shit about my well-being, emotional or physical. I have zero concept of what a normal, functional, non-exploitative workplace looks like. You're fine.

I have to make a decision about grad school soon because the deadline for next semester is rapidly approaching and I'm stressed about it. I took time off this summer after I got parvo and then the fall because I was dealing with some other stuff, and now I have to decide whether to go back. It's really a too many interests, not enough time in the day thing, and I am fully aware that if I pick up grad school without dropping one of my substantial commitments (LIKE A JOB) I will have a nervous breakdown. Meanwhile one of my jobs that was supposed to be short term and project-based asked if I could work on another project next Spring and possibly next summer too. I want to do it because I enjoy it a lot. It's also the kind of thing that this grad program would help with, but I cannot have three jobs that require a lot of compassion and relational work on top of the actual job requirements, and then also attend an intense grad school program that broke my brain. I will have a nervous breakdown, when not if. My mom gave me the first good piece of advice she's given me in years and told me to talk to my academic advisor at the school and see what she thinks. It's a very good idea to be honest with my academic advisor about my commitments and my capabilities but I do not know this woman well enough to have idea how she will advise me. Probably tell me to drop something. Everybody tells me to drop something.

Sadly after this summer's debacle of being fired without being fired, I think some part of me has a pathological desire to never sit still and feel meaningless ever again, but unfortunately I seem to have taken that in the opposite direction to an extreme and now have three jobs + two churches on top of juggling hockey games + ice skating lessons + trying to keep up with local friends combined with my birth mom's cancer treatment. I'm thinking of changing my work schedule again and my boss is going to hate it because she hates when I don't get a weekend day, but she's leaving soon. I rarely get a full day off right now anyway. Currently I work four days a week for 30 hours a week with one 9 hour day, two 8.5 hour days, and one 4 hour day, but I think one 8 hour, three 6 hour, and one 4 hour might be more sustainable for everything I want to do in life. two 8+ hour wfh days + one 9 hour driving-all-over-the-bay-area day are a slog and trying to manage that on top of two other jobs is causing me to consistently miss (self-imposed) deadlines for my other more part-time jobs and not be as present as I'd like to be for basically everything and everyone. idk. I'm trying to think of it in terms of load management. Maybe I lose having a full day off, but on the other hand I have will probably more energy at night to keep up with everything I want to keep up with at night, including jobs, including friends, including being creative. I think I'll ask her this week. Leverage how toxic(????????) everyone seems to believe this place is with the concept of "Kasper has energy to do things at night that he wants to do and gets enough rest to be able to focus on a job he genuinely enjoys and also gets healthcare and dental from in the day."

Like....life this is it, honestly.

Have a nice day, Monica! 🌸How are you feeling? Do you sleep better or are you worried about insomnia? I have a question for you: what are your favorite interviews with JimmySea? Can you make a top? I like their interviews, where the boys tell something special about their character, about hobbies outside the set or about their family. But I think the most favorite interview is Mint Hang Out. Very beautiful bright cafe, delicious dishes, Jimmy and Sea in flirting mode, and Jimmy, who did not come out of the image of Puen, because there were shootings the day before, and driving everyone crazy with gentle looks. Take care of yourself!🌸

hello, dear anon!!!! 💜

this is such a sweet message and that’s also a very interesting question!!! unfortunately im not the best at keeping track with interviews and events, so im probably going to miss some major one, but im going to try to make a small list of my favorites anyway!!!

praew magazine Q&A. YOU WILL NEVER GET ME TO ADMIT HOW MANY TIMES I’VE REWATCHED THIS INTERVIEW JUST KNOW I WOULD HAVE ORDERLIES AT MY DOOR READY TO DRAG ME INTO A PADDED ROOM IF I ADMITTED IT OUT LOUD. im not sure why i like it so much tbh, maybe because it’s a recent one and you can really see how much more comfortable they are in front of the camera and with each other, especially sea. my favorite part is how after the 15th time sea touched jimmy’s leg in the span of 3 minutes even the editor of the video was like if im forced to bare witness to things not even god could withstand then so are y’all [zooms in]

mint hang out vlog. jimmy truly be having some residual method acting left in his system with how ridiculously FOND he looks throughout the entire video. the only reason it doesn't get first place to me is because technically this isn’t exactly an interview but more of a vlog, as the title says, however since i love it and the ACTUAL interview doesn’t have any subs (if anyone asks this is my villain origin story btw) i’ve decided that i don’t care and that im gonna add it to the list anyway. ALSO THIS PERFECTLY SHOWS WHY WE NEED A JIMMYSEA EATING PROGRAM @ GMMTV LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!

our skyy vice versa interview. LISTEN i know it doesn't have any subs so it's not fully accessible to international fans, however it deserved a place here even just for THEE HUG™, i know it was for a challenge but sea clearly didn't expect it and you can tell he is SO DELIGHTED by it AND SO AM I OKAY IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU I AM ONLY HUMAN. also even if you don't know what they're talking about the vibes are just so immaculate and unmatched i would listen to them FOR HOURS

open the world interview. im so very fond of this one because i feel like it's a very good starting point to get to know them. sea is still very shy here, but you learn a lot of things that if you follow them for a while you find out are true: that behind the scenes sea is clingy and determined, that jimmy is always there to guide him, that the way they express their love (even the platonic kind) is by supporting and taking care of the other person, that they do end up spending time together swimming and singing and wakeboarding......

let's talk BL podcast. i knew i could trust them with my life when they were asked which was their favorite vice versa episode and jimmy replied that it was episode 10 (because he is so proud of himself for the derangement he unleashed upon us) while sea eventually picked episode 11 (because he is a man of culture) TRULY KINGS OF TASTE VISION AND CORRECT OPINIONS ONLY!!!!!!! honestly it's just a great interview all-around and i always love how both jimmy and sea try their best in everything they do

i wish i could add more but sadly all the other ones that come to mind (like the oishi magic of zero episode with milklove and the jd's birthday party live with earthmix) don't have any subs ;;;;;; let's hope we're gonna get a lot more when last twilight finally airs!!!!!

#also if anyone knows of some other interview im completely missing please let me know!!!!#anyway thank you so much anon!!!!!#for asking me this and for letting me know your favorite one and for sending such a sweet and kind message 💜#just wanted to tell you i also got your previews message but that it may take me a while to get to it i really apologize #please make sure to stay hydrated rest lots and take care of yourself too!!!!#wishing you the best of days!!!! 💜💜💜#jimmysea #jimmy jitaraphol #sea tawinan #m: ask

Fic Writer Interview

Tagged by @veliseraptor right when I turned work notifications off for 2 hours which feels auspicious

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

148 😅

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

1,201,484! For a couple years there, I was kind of cranking but now I basically haven't written fic for two years so uh. chilling at 1.2 million

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

This is always mildly upsetting to me because my favorites are rarely the winners lol

a bow for the bad decisions (3536)

willow branches and flowers (2785)

upon this altar (2745)

heart + bone (2090)

whipstitch (2024)

...well at least I like 2 of these lol

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! I used to respond to every comment and then got overwhelmed and fell completely behind and THEN decided to clean house and answer all of the remaining ones...and the next day posted heart + bone and now have uh... 688 AO3 emails sitting in my inbox :') I periodically try to go in and answer at least a handful but honestly it's gotten very sporadic

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Off hesperus! I don't think I write a lot of true angst or tragedies tbh. But that one was meant to be 100% genuine, no happy endings angst. And admittedly it's not AS bad as it could have been but. it is probably as bad as I am likely to write (unfortunately (?), I left my "kill all your fave characters, make everyone suffer, burn it down!!!" writing vibes back in middle school mostly).

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

I have so much fluff how am I supposed to pick. ...most of my tgcf fics? heart + bone and sunlight, sunlight, sunlight are pretty absurdly fluffy by the end.

7. Do you write crossovers?

Not really. Back in the olden days (high school/college), I did more—see: whisper something holy, the OG loki fic... I think there were some others?—but it's pretty rare now.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

ehhh not really hate, just some folks who got lost and wound up mad in the comments that *checks notes* local complexity lover let characters be complex. I just turned off anonymous comments for a while and it was fine

9. Do you write smut?

Sometimes! I tend to write (& draw) smut when I'm stuck in a rut (pun sadly not intended), stressed, and struggling to make things which is. something to know about myself. but also means that it often serves as sort of an on ramp to making art that I care about more and so it's often left unfinished.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so? I have no idea how I'd know but honestly, I think my writing is enough directed toward my interests/wants that it's not a prime candidate for stealing lol

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!! it's so cool!! and if she leads was translated into mandarin which!! is bonkers to me that's so much work

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

I don't think I've ever actually done it. Isaac (@/lemeute) and I have co-developed a few ideas before but I think they went the way of the raccoon poll and sort of died in discord (though the yanqing AU did contribute to me drawing art!)

13. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Ah I really struggle with this. Really high up there, and probably chief in staying power, is Altair/Malik(/& Maria) and then in terms of ones that have sort of rewritten my brain chemistry it's like Stucky, Cartinelli, Cap2 Crew, Ranwan, Hualian, Destiel...uh I'm definitely missing some there but that's a sampler!

14. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

;A; oh god. I mean. a short list:

wulian au

yunmeng jiang everyone dies

bodyswap (mdzs)

light dancer (atla)

I have many more wips but they're in more varying stages of either "I don't actually care that much if I finish these" (all unfinished MCU fics) or "I will actually finish this" (sixteen stitches).

15. What are your writing strengths?

uhhhhhhhhhh i hate this question bc my brain is immediately like "here is a laundry list of everything ur bad at and ALSO ur wrong. abt the things ur good at." bc well. mental wellness. ANYWAY i think I'm like ?? pretty good at creating intensity in writing??? I've talked about it before as viscerality and it is that but also like emotional intensity. and I do think I can craft a pretty turn of phrase here and there

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

well. plot, for one thing. having one? executing one? keeping it consistent without giant holes for everything to fall apart through? nahh. Similarly, continuity overall is! not a strength. Do you know how many notes there are in TCP asking myself to just sketch out a blueprint of the palace where 90% of the first book takes place. can u imagine

there are. more. but i will pause there

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it's something that needs to be done with intent and like. care. like, okay. actually I feel extremely subjective about this. Like on the one hand, I think there are times when I think using another language provides important connotative information that is lost when translating to English* (e.g., Wei Wuxian calling Lan Wangji er-gege or Jiang Yanli shijie which don't have very direct counterparts in English, but also if I were to write about my teacher calling me "chica" rather than "girl"). On the other hand, I think it's very important to be cautious (particularly as a white anglophone) about...like. Seasoning Ur Dialogue with Spicy Bits of Other Languages (I am struck by flashbacks of fanon Lance from VLD. bls.). ON THE THIRD HAND, depending on the POV of the work, writing dialogue in a different language can serve different functions in the text (e.g., if the reader knows what it means but the character doesn't, we can have some nice dramatic irony! when it's done well; if the character knows what it means but the reader doesn't, it can build suspense; if both know what it means, it can give insights into different character dynamics/backgrounds/etc.), but again, it should be done with care and intent.

uh i don't know that this actually answered the question or anything. i have feelings???? and minimally coherent thoughts?

*I am being so brave rn in trying not to go down a rabbithole about translation and meaning ;A;

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Marvel :')

19. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

hh hold on i need to go holler at lise and huaqing possibilities

anYWAY yanqing, xianle quartet (variably romantic), erha*, huaqing*, the king's affection**

*technically i've written once for these but like. not fr fr

**I still haven't finished this bc I am inexplicably stressed abt my blorbos suffering but STILL

20. What's your favorite fic you've written?

oh gosh I feel like a broken record bc my fave fics have pretty much been the same for a long time but yeah, of swords and wings is still pretty much my fave largely because, even as it has aged (and I have become more critical of the actual writing), it was so finely tailored to my specific preferences, headcanons, and wants that it still remains quite loved

tagging anyone who wants to do this! (sorry, laziness wins)

Love story

Yoongi X Reader

Au smut romantic oral

...

"yes... Ahh... Fuck..."

With sweat beads on his forehead and breathing heavily, he was drown in pleasure... His lips trying hard to control the moan... His head resting on the pillow.. Legs spread... Eyes closed in pleasure...

"ohhh sana... yes babe... Ahhh..."

His breath started becoming more uneven with his heartbeats... The pleasure he was getting was so immense that he forgot almost everything...

"just like that... yeah... Ride it ... Fuck me sana... fuck..."

The pleasure was shooting up with every passing second... His hands gripped the bedsheet tightly and he moaned her name loudly while cuming...

Panting heavily... He tried to control his heart rate and breathing... 'what the hell you're doing to me...'

He roamed his hand in his hair while letting out a sign and just then his phone rang... Without seeing the caller ID he picked the call and a loud voice came from the other end...

"where the hell are you?"

He checked the caller id and his expression immediately changed... He knew he fucked up...

"answer the damn question yoongi..."

"I'll be there in 10 min sana... Sorry..."

Cutting the call immediately... He went to washroom to wash his face... He was 30 min late... He knew he had to meet sana, his best friend, but before leaving from her house, sana sent him her photo. She was wearing a pink floral crop top and denim skirt that were showing her curves perfectly and her collarbones were exposed too. He couldn't control himself but to drool over her body. Without caring about anything, he started masturbating taking her name and imagining her riding him.

He quickly rubbed off his thoughts and left to meet her.

On the other side, sana was waiting for yoongi since half an hour. The people in cafe were giving her looks as she was simply sitting there without ordering anything. She saw the time again and he was again late... He said 10 min but it was more than 20. Signing sadly and angrily, she got up to go and just then she bumped to him.

"sorry sorry sana... very sorry... " He immediately started apologizing her as he knew how angry she will be.

Without listening anything, she started going from there... But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into hug aa he knew the way to calm her. She started hitting his arm while struggling to get out but his grip was firm.

"I'm really sorry sana... I lost the track of time.. seriously very sorry..." He said while tightening the grip around her waist.

She stopped struggling and hugged him back saying "you always say that yoongi... and always get late..."

He broke the hug and cupped her face saying "promise it won't happen again...".

She rolled her eyes as she heard this thing enough. He chuckled a bit on this and said "let's order..."

She nodded and they started ordering. Sana and yoongi were best friends since college. Now both of them are successful in their respective fields and also they both never lost touch. Being in the same city, they always take out time for each other.

"so you're gonna tell me why you called me?" He asked while having his pasta.

"ahmmm... actually..." She was nervous while saying the reason as she knows him. She got nominated for the fashion designer of the year award and she was called to London for attending the ceremony. She also had a +1 on her card and she wanted to take yoongi with her, as her parents were in Australia and they couldn't make it that time coz of their business. Apart from yoongi, she didn't have anyone to share this achievement. But she also knows how introvert yoongi is and he will most probably say no.

She came to reality when he snapped his finger infront of her.

"what happened... You okay?" He asked while keeping his hand on her.

She took a long breath and said "I've been nominated for best fashion designer of the year..."

"wow... Congratulations...I'm so happy..." He said excitedly.

She smiled and said "thanks... They called me to London next week to attend the ceremony..."

He drank his americano and said "that's nice..."

"and i want you to come with me..." She said in a breath.

He almost chocked on his drink hearing this. Coughing a bit, he said "what... me..why...sana..."

Before he could say anything, she held his hand and said "please don't say no... I want to share this moment with you... I'll be really happy if you'll join there with me..."

She said this with such a pleading and convincing tone that he couldn't say no. He was battling inside but he also wanted to be a part of her happiness... Keeping his introvert self aside, he said"Okay I'll come..."

"yes..." She said excitedly and came towards him. She hugged him and said"thank you..."

He gently patted her back and said "welcome..."

Next week

Sana and yoongi arrived at London and were getting ready for the event. Yoongi was looking at his clothes confused on what to wear and just then, he heard knock on his door. He opened the door only to get stunned by the view.

Sana was wearing hour glass shaped black colour off shoulder gown that was hugging her body so nicely. Her open hairs and long earrings were adding to her beauty. Plus her exposed collarbones, yoongi was feeling like marking her there.

"you're still not ready... " He came to reality with her voice. Scratching the back of his neck, he said "I'm confused what to wear..."

She smiled and said "don't worry... You have a designer friend... Let me help you..."

She came inside and saw the clothes on the bed. She took a white shirt, black blazer and a black bow tie... With black plants. Giving it to him, she said "go wear this..."

He nodded and she sat scrolling her phone while waiting for him. After few minutes, he came out of washroom and asked "how am I looking..."

She smiled looking at him as he was looking so handsome. This combo was suiting him so well and she said while giving him a thumbs up "fabulous..."

"let's go..." She said but he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards mirror. Standing at her back, he backhugged her.

She was a bit stunned by this but before she could say anything, he asked "aren't we looking like a couple?"

She blushed a bit but controlled herself and replied "why... Aren't we?"

Her reply left him speechless and his jaw dropped a bit. Seeing this, she laughed out and said "look at your face..."

He left her and smiled nervously saying "we should go.."

She smiled and nodded and they headed to the event. They took their seat and yoongi can sense that sana was hell nervous. She was trying to hide it but she was tapping her legs constantly and was trying to breath.

He gently kept his hand on her knees to stop the tapping. She looked at him and he assured her by saying "don't be nervous... I know you're the best... This award is just a certificate for that and I'm sure you'll get it... Smile now..."

She smiled hearing his comforting words and kept her hand on him. Squeezing it gently, she said "as long as you're with me... I'm okay..."

Just then there was announcement for the best fashion designer nominees. Though yoongi assured her, he himself was nervous. His heartbeats was increasing every second.

MC "And the award goes to.... Miss Lee sana... Congratulations...*

"yeaaaahhhhh..." Both of them shouted and hugged each other. Sana went towards the stage and accepted the award.

"thank you all so much for giving me such honour... I'm greatful to my parents... to my company as well as the my bestie... (Pointing to yoongi who was continuously clapping and smiling) sitting there... Thank you all a lot... I'll make sure to carry this responsibility with the same enthusiasm and hardwork... Thanks..."

The crowd burst into clappings and she bowed towards them. She came down and said "how was i..."

Yoongi flashed his gummy smile and said "you were perfect..."

She hugged him and he hugged her back. She broke the hug slightly and leaned forward to kiss his cheek. Same time, Yoongi suddenly moved his head thinking of breaking the hug but in a flash, their lips touched...

Both of them froze at their spot but sana immediately backed off looking down. Yoongi also got flustered and scratched his neck in nervousness.

"ahmmm... We should sit..." He said breaking the awkward silence and she nodded.

Soon the function ended and they both were heading to their room after having dinner. After that incident, they didn't speak much... Both of them were feeling awkward...

The elevator came and they pressed button to their floor... Their rooms were in different floor... Sana was on 14th floor and yoongi was on 15th. The elevator closed and suddenly both of them felt their bodies heating up... Maybe coz of kiss...

Yoongi was trying hard to control but her lips... And on top of that she was looking too gorgeous today... Making him needy... He looked down and he can sense the bulge...

' oh god...not now...what if she sees it...' He thought and tried to cover it with the coat... But his bulge was getting huge and he was getting sweaty.

On the other side, sana could also feel the uneasiness in her... 'his lips were so soft... why do I feel like tasting them more...' she jerked her thoughts and fanned herself a bit. Her gaze slightly moved towards him and she narrowed her eyes seeing him sweating badly and adjusting his coat. Her eyes moved down a bit and she got shocked...

'is that a bulge... Is he high...coz of kiss... He's sweaty too... Is he needy or what...' she thought. But seeing his bulge...some different thoughts came in her mind. Suddenly she got an urge to touch it there... to feel it...

Tingggg

The elevator door opened at 14th floor making her come out of her thoughts. She jerked her mind and said "good night yoongi..."

He nodded as he was scared he'll moan if he'll open his mouth. She got out of lift and saw it closing... And also his bulge

"fuck this shit..." She said and ran towards 15th floor. Before he could reach, she came near the elevator.

As the elevator opened, yoongi was shocked seeing her. Before he could say anything, she pulled him out of elevator and said "i don't know if it's right or wrong... But it feels right to me..."

She smashed her lips on his while kissing him hungrily. It took few seconds for him to process what's happening but soon he responded... With same passion and hunger...

"you know right this is gonna ruin our friendship..." Yoongi said while breaking the kiss.

She joined their forehead and said while panting "maybe yes... but i feel this is right... I just couldn't control myself from kissing you... You're making me lose control yoongi... What should I do..."

He cupped her face and made her look at him. Caressing her face, he said "even I'm losing my control seeing you... n after kissing you... it's becoming more hard... it's upto you now sana... We can stop right here n pretend nothing happened or take it to the level we want..."

She looked into his eyes and said "I'm not sure if i love you yoongi... but..."

"but we can give each other a chance..." He completed her sentence. She smiled and nodded.

"so I'm not gonna back off..." Saying that, he kissed her. She closed her eyes and responded while wrapping her arms around his neck. Without breaking the kiss, he entered in his room and pinned her to wall deepening it more. He touched her lips with his tongue asking for permission and she gladly opened her mouth. He entered his tongue inside while tasting her. She kept the award on side table and her hands automatically went to take off his coat.

He tossed his coat and looked at her saying "i don't have protection..."

She caressed his cheek and said "not needed..."

His gaze went towards her collarbone and again the urge to mark them came. He caressed them while saying "they have made me so crazy... " He leaned forward and touched his lips on them. She closed her eyes on the sensation and felt goosebumps all around her body. This was the very first time he has touched her like that and she couldn't describe the feeling she was going through.

He started planting wet kisses on her collarbones making her toes curl up. He bit the flesh and suck on it marking there. Automatically a moan left her mouth which turned him on more. He left her and saw his mark. Caressing it, he said "beautiful"

They looked at each other and he gently tucked her hair behind her ear. His fingers moved towards the zipper of her dress and she blinked her eyes slowly giving him permission to open it. Slowly, he started to unzip the dress and she held his arms feeling the coolness on her back. He grazed his finger through her spine and she moaned "fuck yoongi..."

He came near her ears and whispered "I'll..." And bit her earlobe. Her dress left her body as he opened the zipper and as she was not wearing anything beneath, she immediately tried to cover herself with her hands and looked down while blushing.

He smiled and gently lifted her chin saying "you trust me..." She looked in his eyes and nodded shyly. He removed her hands saying "then let me see you..."

He backed off a bit scanning her up to down. Sana was feeling so small and shy under his gaze. She never thought yoongi could make her feel like this.

"you're hot... and damn sexy..." He commented while biting his lips. He came towards her while removing his shirt and it was now her turn to drool over his body. He wasn't having perfect abs, but his body was toned and he was buff, which was enough for her to lose control.

He took her hand and kept it on his chest making her feel his heartbeats, which was so fast. She looked at him and started moving her palms around his chest and abdomen. He closed his eyes feeling her hands on his skin. Gently holding her, he took her to bed.

Lying her down, he asked while caressing her thighs"is it okay if i go a bit rough..." She moaned and nodded. He pulled out his belt and took both of her hands tying with it. Keeping her tied hands above her head, he said "do not bring them down princess, else I'll wreck you so badly... Understood..."

Hearing his dominant tone, she gulped a bit but nodded. He closed her eyes with blindfold and said "now feel what I'm doing..."

Sana could feel that he left bed for a minute and she could hear some movements around the room. She was a bit scared but she knows him, so she calmed herself. Sooner, she felt his presence... But... She can feel something cool touching her forehead... She wiggled a bit but heard him saying "no princess... don't wiggle... just enjoy this..."

She understood it's ice cube and nodded while gulping the lump in her throat. She can feel the ice cube moving from her forehead to nose, drenching her lips, throat but with ice, she can also feel his lips touching her. She understood that the ice is in his mouth.

"ahhh..." She moaned when she felt he kept the ice cube on her nipple and started sucking it. "Fuck... Yoongi..." Her moans were increasing with every second and he placed another ice cube on her other nipple just circling that around. She was feeling cold with hotness and it was giving her tingly sensation in the lower abdomen.

Yoongi was enjoying this. He has imagined all this and honestly, the thing happening now was far better than his imagination. Hearing her moans and deep breaths was such a turn on. He spread her legs widely and took the ice cube. Licking his lips by seeing her wet cunt, he placed the ice cube in his mouth and touched her clit with it...

"oh god yoongi... fuck... this feels amazing..." He smiled hearing this and started sucking her clit along with the ice. The ice melted completely but he continued sucking and licking her clit leaving her a moaning mess. She was trying hard not to move her hands but his touches were making her so weak. She was about to keep her hands in his hair when he said while inserting finger inside her vagina "dare to move your hand and I'll give you a hickey right here..."

"ahhhh... "She moaned and kept her hand back at the position. He caressed her clit with his tongue and said "good girl.." and inserted one more finger while finger fucking her fast along with licking her clit.

She was so much into pleasure and her body was responding nicely to his touches. She arched back feeling him finger fucking her and also she could feel a knot forming in her stomach. She knew she can cum anytime. She was feeling shy and embarrassed so she said "yoongi... Leave me... I'm gonna cum..."

Hearing this, he increased his pace saying "cum babe... i want to taste you... I've waited so long for this..." She was a bit shocked but happy also. Her legs started to shake and she felt enormous pleasure shooting her up the abdomen. She screamed his name and came on his tongue.

"fuck you taste soo good princess..." He said while tasting her. She tried to calm her and he opened her hands and blindfold. She immediately pulled him to kiss and said in between "you're amazing babe... You made me feel things i never felt before... "

He responded while saying "n I'll make you feel more... a lot more..." While kissing, her hands moved down his pants in an attempt to open it. He understood and slightly got up removing his pants and boxers. His length came in her view and she gulped a bit as this was the first time she was seeing a dick live.

He stroked her hairs saying "you wanna feel it..." She nodded like a lost puppy. He smirked and said "it's all yours... Feel it... do whatever you want with it..."

She looked at him and pushed him on bed. Making his head rest on the headboard, she sat on his lap and started kissing his neck while her hand gripped his length. He closed his eyes feeling the pleasure she was giving her just by her one touch. "Fuck" a moan escaped his mouth feeling her finger tracing his vein.

She looked into his eyes and whispered seductively "i hope I'm the first one touching you like this and making you feel heaven..." Her hand firmly gripped his member and he rolled his eyes and head back while panting heavily.

"oh yes you are... and you're fucking good sana... not even in my imagination i felt this pleasure..." He licked his lips while enjoying her touches...

"so you imagined me like this..." She asked and he nodded his head. Somehow, she felt nice hearing this and she started massaging his member. Slowly pulling the foreskin, she licked his head.

"ahhh..." He gripped the headboard from one hand and her hair from another while moaning. She pulled up the foreskin again and pulled it down again... Slowly while tracing his whole length..

She came near hie ears and said "how good it feel in my mouth..." "Fuck".. he moaned while hearing this and continued "please take it in... I beg you..."

She smiled feeling her dominance on him. Slowly, she started taking him in mouth. He wiggled a bit in pleasure feeling the warmness around his member. She was taking him in so well and was increasing the pace very slowly... giving him enormous pleasure.

Suddenly, she started bopping her throat on his head and he felt shot of pleasure one after the other with each stroke. She was increasing her pace continuously leaving him a moaning mess. He was wiggling his hand and legs and sweat beads were formed on his forehead. He wanted to control hee but he himself was lost in the pleasure.

"babe..." He started

"i know.." she cut him off... "Just cum in my mouth... I also want to taste you badly..." He lost it after hearing this and could feel the pleasure running from his lower abdomen to his member. He screamed her name a bit and came inside her mouth.

Breathing heavily, he pulled her up and said "you really are amazing... this is so much better than masturbation... Your mouth..."

He touched her lips and she said "i myself didn't know i could do something like this..." Cupping his cheeks, she continued "only you made think n do this... "

He kissed her forehead and that time she realised... She felt it... The love... She looked at him lovingly and said "is it too early to say that I'm already falling for you..."

He kissed her palm and said "no... because the feeling is mutual... I'm also falling for you..."

She smiled and hugged him. A shot of electricity passed through them as their skin touched. She inhaled his scent and started giving him open mouth kisses on neck.. he roamed his hand on her back and pulled her more close.

While being in hug, she started grinding him slowly. He held her tightly feeling his member high again.

"sana... Ahh... What you're doing babe..." He moaned. She whispered in his ears "i want to ride you daddy... so badly..."

"Fuckk..." He cursed sensing his fantasy coming true. She on the top grinding him... the sensation was giving him chills everywhere.

She sensed his movements and looked down saying "see... how hard n happy it is when i said I'll ride it.." she stroked it while saying this making him moan her name.

"yoongi..." He sensed a bit nervousness in her tone and looked at her saying "what happened babe..."

She looked down a bit and said "it's my first time...so..." She wasn't able to form words. Yoongi understood and said while cupping her face "i will be gentle... N i promise if you'll feel more pain.. I'll stop then n there..."

She sensed the sincerity and love in his voice. She nodded and started adjusting herself on him. Before she could do anything, he put pressure and in a stroke, it went in.

"aahhh..." She screamed a bit but he immediately started sucking her breast and caressing her back to ease the pain. Both of them remained in that position for a while and then he said "slowly start riding... Okay..."

She held his shoulders tight and nodded. Adjusting to his length, she started riding him. Both of them moaned feeling pleasure shooting them. He was showering her upper body with kisses and she was holding on his hairs and shoulder while riding him. Both of their bodies were sweating and pleasure was increasing for them with every stroke.

"yes.. ride me like this babe..."

"oh yoongi... you feel so good inside me..."

Both of their moans were echoing in the room and they were completely lost in each other.

After the session, she hugged him in same position exhausted. He caressed her hairs and said "tired..." She nodded, not even having energy to say anything. He started stroking her hairs in an attempt to make her sleep, which worked and she slept while hugging him like that.

He sensed that and kissed her forehead saying "I'll take care of you like this always princess..." He hugged her and slept while keeping his head on her shoulder in same position.

Rating Verbal Exchanges I Receive(d) at Work

“Have a good day.” 5/10

Pretty standard. Nothing exciting. I usually say it simultaneously by accident which is always awkward.

“You too.” 5/10

A standard reply to a standard statement. Better than nothing, shows basic reciprocation.

“You as well.” 7/10

“You too,” but shaking it up a little like Barry B. Benson.

“Have a blessed day.” 6/10

Synonymous with #1, usually has religious connotations. Keeps things interesting, easy to say “you too.”

“Oh, that’s mine,” while reaching for pizza. “Haha, just kidding.” 0/10

I will actually try to give you the pizza bc it is heavy, I want it out of my hands, and I have no way to tell whether the pizza belongs to you or not, leaving me no choice but to genuinely take your word for it, making me feel like a fool for believing you. Not funny, rude and annoying wish people would stop doing this I’m just trying to do my job and you are actively inconveniencing me.

“What, none for me?” 1/10

Yes, none for you. +1 bc you’re not getting any.

“Sorry about the dog(s). 7/10

It’s okay, you don’t have to apologize for the dogs. I’ve been barked at on so many deliveries I’d be surprised if I wasn’t.

“Take care, sweetheart.” 10/10

I am blushing.

“Stay safe.” 9/10

Appeals to my values (staying safe) and shows genuine care for my well-being.

“Thank you.” 8/10

The polite thing to say, I expect you to say it in some way.

“Hi, how are you?” 5/10

A little bland. No matter what, the answer will always be the same: “good, how are you?”

“I like your pins.” (They are LGBTQ and non binary pins) 10/10

An ally. A friend.

Visible confusion before looking down at my chest. “A woman.” -100000/10

Wrong. Don’t look at my boobs. Don’t look me. Uncomfortable. I hate it.

Using my correct pronouns without being asked. +1000000/10

You’re perfect. My heart flourishes.

“Thank you for the pizzas and sodas, I’m going to get back to my tabletop game now!” 1000/10

You are literally my favorite customer. I haven’t seen you in forever, table top guy. I miss you.

“Woof!” Sniff sniff 100/10

Good doggy.

“Meow! Prrrrrr” 100000000x infinity/10

Good cat, cat is baby.

“He… or I guess… she… uh.. uhrhrh.” -100/10

Don’t strain yourself, you’re just embarrassing both of us. Seriously, if you can’t figure it out just pick one and stick with it.

“You’re the most popular lady in the neighborhood!” 8/10

Sadly, I am not a lady. I still appreciate the humor, it is very charming. And I probably have a soft spot for sweet older male gentlemen, they’re always so nice to me for some reason.

“Let’s sweeten the pot a bit,” while handing me a tip. 1000/10

Yes, he was an older male gentleman, and I loved him. It made my entire day. I said thank you very strongly. The pot was sweetened.

“So what is this delivery fee? If it’s not a tip, what is it? Oh, I see, corporate greed.” 10/10

I didn’t know what to say, so I just said, “I don’t really know, just for the money, I guess.” But when I thought about it later I realized a part of the delivery fee probably goes into paying for my mileage. But I really like that he was on my side, and also gave me a tip. And he has a tiny frazzled old chihuahua that always quietly greets me when I step out of my vehicle.

“This pen sucks,” while signing the receipt. 0/10

The kid wrote “deez nuts” or some other similar meme quote in the signature and did not leave a tip. Not impressed, teach your child common courtesy or don’t give them the credit card.

what are your favorite pieces of sci fi and/or fantasy media? (can be either books/comics/movies)

i didn’t read many comics because i lived in a rlly small rural town & comic books were too expensive with my reading speed. i had to pick the biggest books i could to make them last or i’d end up reading the cook books again by the end of the month. also i added video games bc that’s where a lot of my fav universes are.

books: (i could go on for 20 years but i’ll stick to a few)

wheel of time -

i got the first book i think when i was 8/9. it took me a week to get past the prologue bc i did not appreciate feeling confused but once i got to Rand & the road and the figure in the cloak i was HOOKED. i brought it to school that week & a sub teacher (legend, in hindsight) came up & was like ‘oh! that’s a great book’ and i mostly glared distrustfully at her bc teachers liked to take books off me or (hate hate) take me aside when the rest of the class were doing sums or whatever and make me read a passage to them, then drill me about the meaning of different words. i get they were trying to see if i actually had that reading level or whatever but it was mortifying. so yeah, glared at her, so sorry bc she was right. it took me years to acquire and read all of the books but been so so normal about them ever since. my favs are probably moiraine (shocker), lan, elayne (actually love her so much an unreasonable amount), mat (gender reasons) and siuan (obviously).

the book of the ancestor -

THESE BOOKS. there are nuns in this too. they are badass ninja magic nuns and a lot of them are so so gay. it’s about the found family and a little girl called Nona who probably would bite you but she’s actually the kindest softest best person in the world. her friends are all kind of gay for her; she’s kind of gay for all her friends. there are two older nuns called Apple & Kettle who are just flagrantly massive lesbians and it’s so so funny. Apple is a poisoner & Kettle is a spy and they have just such a THING going on i adore them. this trilogy is wonderful & the magic is so cool & the character dynamics are !!!!! feral there’s a Judas character there’s rivals-to-lover/ friends-to-lover. it’s a meditation on where we find meaning and in whom and what we fight for. has everything i love love love. also like… can think of two men off the top of my head in a cast of like 40 deranged women. amazing.

the fitz & the fool books -

got this on family holiday to Rome when i was 10. ignored rome in favour of reading this day and night. i read it three times in one week. barely stepped foot in the pool. it’s a gorgeous character-driven story. fitzchivalry farseer is ultimate himbo rep. also magical bonding with a wolf will get me every time. there are like two trilogies now. they r so good.

the murderbot diaries -

ghdklskdsl killer robot gains sentience. just wants to watch their TV shows & be left alone. sadly, stupid humans get in stupid situation & secunit has to endure the mortifying ordeal of being known. SECUNIT i’d die for u. the novels are pretty short but there are quite a few now & each one has a new and awesome take on artificial intelligence and self-advocacy and found family and what it means to be alive.

the broken earth trilogy -

these books ripped my heart out of my chest and i said thank you. gorgeously written. deals with rlly rlly interesting & important themes. the main character is just so cool, she’s also, like, an older woman with kids but she’s the hero and the main character and i think that’s kind of awesome. the magic SLAPS. it’s plate tectonics babey.

the black magician trilogy -

these & wot were my gateway to the fantasy genre fr fr. my friend’s mom bought her the first one and she fobbed it off on me (we were 9. she was only interested in this webside called Howrse where you pretended to own horses??) i got locked outside my house after walking home from hers and spent two hours tucked into a narrow nook outside the back door while it bucketed rain down around me. best two hours of my life. first canon queer rep i ever read. there r a bunch of trilogies now. great stuff on healing magic & sonea is so stubborn i love that for her. don’t let anyone reason with you darling.

movies:

star wars: yes yes yes we know that casper likes star wars. but casper LOVES star wars. obi-wan is my favourite character in the prequels. in the og trilogy probably han solo (i am not immune to THAT), but also as i got older Luke Skywalker too. c3po for that bitch boy energy. i owe him a lot. there is only one movie in the third trilogy & i love Finn. shame they never made the last two movies.

pirates of the caribbean: ELIZABETH SWAN. we can all blame her for my lesbian behaviour. we can all blame will turner for my gender.

the alien movies: 1 & 2 mostly, but i will watch the others with my eyes. i can’t help myself. lots of blood & gore = casper happy. blood + actual good storytelling is like porn with plot to me but i will take porn without plot. i am a simple creature. i loved NEWT because talking can be evil sometimes and also living for weeks in a deserted compound with a killer robot - what?? like it’s hard?? obvs Ripley is a legend. bush representation.

lotr: i love the books too but i grew up on the movies & my uncle only loaned me his 3-in-1 version when i was 10. i don’t know what to say don’t ever talk to me about boromir don’t ever talk to me about gimli and legolas don’t EVER talk to me about sam or frodo. unless you are prepared for a sleeping-beauty type situation where you blink and your kingdom has fallen into darkness bc i’ve been talking for 35 years.

i LOVE the movie Arrival: linguistics & aliens, non-linearity of the narrative. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. it’s the good tasty stuff. also mood when she arrives to teach & there are like 4 people and she’s like ‘hmm. okay.’ that’s every day of my life teaching obscure bs. i also kind of want her house. badly. and LISTEN the short story is also good but i rlly like the weird feral energy she had going on in the movie. sign me up so fast for a deranged woman in stem. (she’s in linguistics but let me have my joke. it’s basically math)

video games

mass effect: if you were here with me on tumblr in 2014 1. i’m sorry and 2. you know that liara t’soni is my wife and i’d die for her. these games gave me the most severe brainrot. no i cannot ever be mean to anyone ever but i do push that guy off the Dantius tower in ME2 because it’s funny. Aria t’Loak can [redacted] me if she wants. but yeaaaah. these games are amazing and i still genuinely burst into tears every time Leaving Earth comes on my playlist. there’s just something abt it. played the game on rec of my hot physics teacher. to nobody’s surprise. my favs are Liara (going to tell you humiliating anecdote now. one time i was talking loudly to my friend in my room while playing ME and i said ‘hey, that’s my girlfriend’ loudly and my mom burst in like !!!! YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND I WANT TO MEET HER. imagine her disappointment when it was a collection of pixels on my tv. she was like ‘…. cas. go outside.’) i also like Jack, Miranda (love a woman who is mean to me), WREX BOI, tali bc i want to smooch her helmet and because of that time she gets drunk it’s so funny. i like garrus too okay but my friend never shut up about him so i was sick of him in the same way she was sick of Brynjolf after the 500th time i said he could [redacted].

jak and daxter: aaaaahhh. the mild child neglect game. basically my mum got this when i was a toddler & one time got so engrossed trying to cross Fire Canyon she let me fall asleep in my walker. i was fine but my dad never let her or me or anyone forget about it. it’s his measure for how good things are. ‘oh, is it fall asleep in your walker good?’ i think i learned my motor skills playing this game. my hands were sucky clumsy bastards so actually it helped. i was bad at it for so long but now i can 100% the game without dying once in about 3 hours. not speedrun territory but still. it’s just!!! visually incredible. the story is so funny. whatever gender Jak has i want. Daxter was my comedic role-model so you can see how that turned out for me. it’s totally worth watching Jak & Daxter (the whole trilogy) on YT or playing it. the games of all time to me. the kind of fantasy worlds i create are still massively influenced by this. also Jak didn’t speak for the first game so he was autism rep to me as a kid even tho i had only bouts of being non-verbal & other times never shutting tf up.

ratchet & clank: same vein as jak & daxter. made by naughty dog who yes also made TLOU. so funny, so visually stunning. A Crack in Time is the best game come and fight me. but also LOVED Rift Apart bc one character had a prosthetic limb & she was rlly rlly cool. idk the sci-fi world in Ratchet and Clank is basically a shitpost but it’s also so gorgeous and so fun and makes no sense but (Daniel Craig voice) compels me though. i love the second and third games also and ALSO tools of destruction. HAS AMAZING MUSIC. such bopping. best track is probably novalis imo.

horion zero dawn: this is more recent. drives me insane. there are kind of mechanical dinosaurs and you have a bow and arrow and you fight them and Aloy is so sarcastic and so clever and so (looks into the camera like she’s on the office) about everything. it’s an amazing world & i love her little found family and the BIG ‘go the fuck to sleep’ energy she has. so stubborn love that for her.

pokemon: like i said. neighbour wanted to play GTA on PS2 without traumatising me so gave me his red gameboy and pokemon gold. then i learned to read. got sapphire for my 7th christmas + the GameBoy Advanced SP. got every game since then & I JUST LOVE POKEMON. it’s THE autism game (sorry stardew. sucks to suck) you collect little guys and you battle and you walk around and you shiny hunt and there are like 900 different pokemon now. i mean we all know pokemon anyway but yeah i was obsessed my whole life. wanted to be ash ketchum i love his attitude imo he’s a very ava silva character and i like how he says “i like carrots and peppers and bugs” he’s so valid for that.

skyrim: hehehehe. 2011. got this for christmas based on the cinematic trailer (god’s strongest soldier i am not) and was so scared of the draugr i emerged out of my room at 3am on st-stephen’s day in a pose like i was holding a greatsword WIHOUT REALISING i was doing it. i git good at the game tho & learned to mod. aaaaahhhh it’s one of my fav worlds to get lost in. my mum sent me this text when i texted her a pic of the official skyrim guidebook

#gosh there r so many more but these?? are the main ones??? i think??#also httyd and atla get a s/o #but also this little bastard did not have the good kids channels growing up so i missed atla #kind of resented it honestly bc my friends talked about it & i was like ???#casper writes #thanks anon!#long post

F1 Re-Watch 2013: Round 14 - South Korea

It's Winter break and I am FINALLY picking back up my 2023 watch through (given how it's December, I probably won't finish this before 2024, but that's okay!).

This is another one I watched live at the time at my friend's house, and my main memory apart from Seb winning is Mark Webber's car having an alternator failure and then going on fire (right after his Singapore last lap DNF which, ouch) and Nico Rosberg having a very sparky front wing. iirc Jenson had an alright race and scored points, though I cannot recall how Lewis did, so let's jump in!

Once again saying how much of a core memory the old F1 intro is

and also asking why can't F1 provide alternate commentary options, why must Crofty and Brundle be forced upon us 😭

On a more practical note, I never knew why this race was officially called the Korean GP instead of the South Korean GP

But Yeongam was a fun track even if the layout looked a bit odd.

Alrighty: Starting grid whiplash time! SEWIS FRONT ROW!!!! (this is for meeeeee) Grosjean P3 and Rosberg P4 Jenson P11 and Jev down in P16

[Formation Lap]: Almost everyone on the super soft tyres apart from Ricciardo who's on the mediums

and immediately cut to the mad rush of mechanics and engineers running back to the garages

huh, so today I learned that no one is allowed to sit on the pitwall at the race start in case there's an on-track incident. I really feel like I should have known this before now 😅

[Start/Lap 1]: Seb has in Seb fashion just shot off into the distance

CARNAGE

One of the Ferrari's got tagged, someone else span round, turn 3 was like a dodgems rink

right before all that happened Grosjean overtook Lewis and is in P2

[Lap 2]: But Seb is already 2 seconds ahead of P2. Just GOAT things.

[Lap 3]: Now 2.6 seconds 👑 (When Seb dominates in a Red Bull it's sexy, when anyone else does the same it's not - hope that helps x)

The Top 5 after the lap 1 nonsense is Seb, Grosjean, Lewis, Nico R and Hulkenberg.

[Lap 4]: Jenson has minor front wing damage 😭

ooh cut to Raikkonen and Ricciardo scrapping over 7th

and now Jenson has to come in for a new front wing 😭😭😭

it's apparently affecting his brake temps, fml

Okay start replay: oh my days the field was five wide before the braking zone for turn 3 no wonder that there was dodgems.

[Lap 6]: I'm starting to wonder if I mis-remembered Nico's front wing failing and sparking along the track. I'm sure it was at this Korean GP bc I remember my friend being so upset over it

[Lap 7]: JENSON FASTEST LAP!!!!!!!

Though this was years before getting the fastest lap was worth a point, but it's worth a point in my heart

[Lap 8]: Cars starting to make their first pit stops

[Lap 9]: Back to Seb fastest lap, he's over three seconds ahead of P2

Meanwhile Lewis just got told to push before his first stop

[Lap 10]: And in he comes for stop number 1! Super softs off for Mediums, he comes out in P9

So according to Ted the two stop is actually quicker, but the cars that have stopped already are likely going to have to do the three stop. inch resting.

[Lap 11]: And saying that, Grosjean comes in to cover Lewis, and comes out juuuust ahead

[Lap 12]: And in comes Seb! Also putting on the mediums

but we need to cut back to the Lewis & Grosjean battle bc it was getting spicy

And a Lewis fastest lap for funsies 🥰

[Lap 13]: He's now 8 tenths behind Grosjean

[Lap 16]: Hmm, there is not much happening

I am enjoying watching the cars go round though, but then again that's just me 😅

Saying that, Hulkenberg is leading a train of Alonso, Raikkonen and Webber from 6th-9th.

oh it's a DRS train before we called it a DRS train

[Lap 18]: And Rosberg gets past Ricciardo for 4th

[Lap 20]: Jenson, who's in P9, is apparently not having a fun time with his tyres

Meanwhile Fernando is trying very hard to break through past Hulkenberg

sadly it's not happening

[Lap 22]: And *another* Seb fastest lap

I do love it when he collects them like pokemon

[Lap 23]: Jenson pits again :(

tbf it would be very on brand for me to deliberately forget if Jenson had a bad race

[Lap 24]: Breaking News: Fernando has still not gotten past Hulkenberg

I am starting to remember this part of the race and I'm pretty sure Hulkenberg does end up finishing in 5th

"Right front is destroyed" "I've been through the graining phase, and it's dead" the precursors to 'Bono my tyres are gone'. Lewis also sounds painfully done on the radio 😭😭😭

[Lap 26]: and there's a somewhat stranded Force India in the barriers.

oof Di Resta had a slow spin into the barriers after getting on the kerbs

[Lap 28]: Meanwhile Lewis is painfully slow compared to everyone else

Ah ha! There's Rosberg's front wing failure (not that I was wishing ill on him, more well done me for remembering correctly)

He was about to pass Lewis on the straight when the nose of the car just dropped down.

And it is now trailing on the ground putting sparks everywhere

[Lap 29]: So either by choice or circumstance Lewis wasn't able to get past Nico while he was driving slowly with his borked front wing.

"When are you gonna call me in man these tyres are fucked?" Lewis' very not fun Korean GP

[Lap 30]: and he FINALLY pits for another set of mediums

the race is 55 laps long so he should in theory make it to the end

[Lap 31]: FUCK Perez's tyre just failed

I do NOT want anymore Silverstone flashbacks, that was not fun

The whole tread of the tyre just ripped itself off the canvas while he was going down the straight, NOT GOOD

[Lap 32]: Very understandably we have a safety car

"And Pirelli are here to inspect the remnants of their tyre, not that there is much" Ted Kravitz committing murders live on air since 2013.

Well I have to say that certainly spiked up my blood pressure, it's the fact that Perez just happened to be in the camera shot when it happened.

[Lap 33]: So while we have the SC, the current top 5 is: Seb, Grosjean, Raikkonen, Lewis and Hulkenberg

[Lap 34]: Cut to a probably quite stressed Pirelli engineer in the Merc Garage looking over someone's shoulder

[Lap 35]: Shoutout to Webber, who had to pit again for running over the debris from Perez's car so dropped down to P11, and was given a set of super softs because Red Bull did not have any mediums left

You can see why he went over to WEC

[Lap 36]: And we're back racing!

[Lap 37]: Thankfully for my nerves all clean through turns 1 and 2

...

and then there was turn 3

Sutil divebombed into Webber, who's car is now on fire.

Don't cut to the depressed RBR mechanics 😭

also WHERE ARE THE FIRE MARSHALLS?!

okay there they are

oh now we have Lotus on Lotus violence

and.... there's a fire car on the track??????

aaaaand safety car again.

[Lap 38]: Well... Lap 37 chose far, far too much violence

That was certainly a sequence of events

right before all that happened, Hulkenberg overtook Lewis for P4

so I'm not having a fun time

[Lap 39]: Good news: they put out Webber's car, bad news: it looks like a wreck

iirc Japan was seven days after Korea so yeah, a very not fun time for the mechanics who needed to fix that

[Lap 41]: And we're racing again. Boys I beg of you NO NONSENSE

Turn 3 I am watching you like a hawk

Lewis and Fernando are scrapping over P5

Jenson sighting!!!! he's in P7

[Lap 42]: Meanwhile Seb is still leading out front, by almost 2 seconds this time

[Lap 43]: So the top 5 is: Seb, Raikkonen, Grosjean, Hulkenberg and Lewis

[Lap 44]: Grosjean's been given the all clear to race Raikkonen for P2 🍿

[Lap 45]: Breaking news: Lewis is still behind Hulkenberg

but in actual news we have FIVE cars fighting over 10th

Maldonado, Guiterrez, Massa, Perez and Bottas

and I legit cannot keep up with who is where they're chopping and chaning so fast

[Lap 46]: Okay it's Massa (P10), Gutierrez, Checo, Valtteri and Maldonado

Make that Perez now in P11

that was a great battle though!!!

[Lap 47]: Lewis is very close to Hulkenberg...

...but still doesn't get past through turn 3

[Lap 48]: LEWIS IS INTO P4!!!!

...nvm Hulkenberg got back past on the second straight

And Fernando was very briefly in P5 but Lewis managed to hold fim

[Lap 49]: Bless at least the Sauber team are having fun

[Lap 50]: Lotus telling Grosjean that he can overtake Kimi but Romain saying he can't???? Team Enstone doing Team Enstone things

Massa and Perez under investigation for causing a collision, fellas...

At least Seb has a 4 second lead

[Lap 51]: 5 laps remaining klaxon!!

[Lap 52]: slow-mo shot of Seb's tyres, his front right does not look pretty

which was the same tyre that went on Perez's car

[Lap 53]: Lewis asking on the radio if anyone has suggestions for how to get past Hulkenberg. idk if Merc can gaslight, gatekeep girlboss their way out of this one

And Rosberg takes P8 from Jenson

[Lap 54]: uh no not another yellow flag

oop, Ricciardo's car decided to stop working

[Lap 55]: FINAL LAP!!

Lewis has properly closed up to Hulkenberg 👀

and Fernando has closed up to the back of Lewis

and SEB WINS THE SOUTH KOREAN GP!!!!! 🥳🍾

(gosh I've missed a driver sounding happy over the radio when they win)

The rest of the top 10: Raikkonen P2, Grosjean P3, Hulkenberg P4, Lewis P5, Fernando P6, Rosberg P7, Jenson P8, Massa P9 and Perez P10

lol at me saying Jenson has a nice race when he Did Not. But Lewis finish in the top 5 so that was positive bc I really had no recollection of how he did. Seb goated as per, and Lap 37 owes me financial compensation for all that nonsense.

Next race - Japan!

Nobody asked for this but now that we have all the student trailers these are my actual thoughts on the redesigns (since I know we won't get a trailer for the faculty next week and even if they're unlockable/DLC later I don't trust IS to give them a glow up). I'm only talking personal preference here, no deep analysis into what the costumes signify or whatever.

Edelgard: on its own? It's a cute design, and the hair looks pretty nice in spite of how thin the braid looks. Coming from 3H? Uninspired and bland. The red emperor dress had presence, it signified power, it had that Enormous Bitch Who Will Ruin Your Day energy. I'm not sensing any of that here, it's like they wanted to remind us she's 5'2" and likes teddy bears and probably wears floaties to the beach. 6/10, isn't lower because I like red.

Hubert: massive downgrade. They masacred him for the meme potential. 2/10, would hate it less if his original TS design didn't exist and set such a high standard for Hubert swag, but sadly this is the timeline we live in.

Ferdinand: meh. The hair looks fine but his outfit says nothing. 5/10

Linhardt: Gender/10. The clear winner of the Eagles. He's even wearing a nun collar to boot! May as well be wearing that "I really wish I weren't here right now" button and I love that for him. His whole cozy outfit looks like it would be great for naps. I wish him the best.

Caspar: deserved better. I always hated his TS outfit to begin with, but his undercut gave him a cute shonen boy edge. This hairstyle makes him look like all of my male classmates in middle school, and I went to middle school in the 2000's. I can smell the Axe body spray from here. 1/10

Bernadetta: she looks like an onion. 4/10, and only because I like her outfit and color scheme. No, I don't care that "it fits her".

Dorothea: pretty, but doesn't do much for me. 7/10, but overall a downgrade. The braid is sick tho.

Petra: 9/10. It's grown on me. I like that they gave her sandals, and THE BRAIDS ARE BACK!! Braids good.

Dimitri: 7/10, not great, not terrible, always good to see him with both eyes. His original TS look will always be iconic though. Hard to top that honestly.

Dedue: 10/10. They took everything we love about his design and made it better, gave him his earring back, and gave him a BEARD! AND a BRAID! I am a simple human with simple tastes, and I love everything that's going on in here.

Felix: 6/10. No tsundere thigh highs, no poofy sleeves, he's wearing a bump-it. The hair itself isn't terrible but I got so used to the spiky volleyball hair that seeing him in a hairstyle that actually looks normal feels out of character for him. It's fine I guess, but his outfit is missing that wealthy douchebag energy the old one had.

Ashe: cute, very Ashe, a little bit of gender going on. 7/10, nothing much to say here.

Sylvain: 0/10. They didn't even try.

Mercedes: ara ara/10. Absolute perfection. I do admit I miss the hat, but her hair is so gorgeous she doesn't even need it.

Annette: 10/10. The winner of the Lions. It's like she's ready to open up her bakery. I do still have a soft spot for her old timeskip dress but the hair is very much an upgrade. I want to pick her up and put her in my pocket.

Ingrid: 3/10. I just wanted the braid back.

Claude: 8/10, would be higher if he still had a beard. The color scheme is pretty nice.

Hilda: 8/10, love her look but still prefer the original. I'm glad they didn't really change much and kept it very much her.

Lorenz: 8/10, again not much of a change, he's very Lorenz and I'm here for that.

Raphael: 9/10. It just fits him better than his original TS look. He looks ready to go rock climbing with you. He looks like he would host the sickest barbecue ever.

Ignatz: 6/10. Love the hair clips and side swept thing going on, not the biggest fan of everything else.

Lysithea: 7/10. I will not forgive them for taking the veil away, but the outfit overall is cute, it's just not as great as the original. It's just kinda... plain? Yeah, sorry.

Marianne: 9/10. HAIR DOWN!!! That's it. That's literally the only thing I wanted and I got it so I can't complain. Also she still looks very much like a holy woman, but her hair is short enough that we can see her back window... business in the front, party in the back.

Leonie: 7/10. While I'm happy the short hair is back, the actual haircut itself doesn't say much and would have preferred something much closer to her academy hair. Still a cute design overall tho.

#long post #few3h #i'm not tagging everyone or everything #this is kind of a shitpost but i'm very serious about those scores #i feel like the lions and eagles had clear winners and losers #meanwhile the deer had mostly everyone look pretty good and i don't feel particularly strong about anyone's looks
