neha, nice ask week ask for you! what inspired you to write the Olympics AU? did you always plan to do gymnastics? why did you choose it as the relevant sport? also, if you wanna give a snippet or any random detail about it - that would be amazing! 💜

hi lola! happy nice ask week, and thank you for the ask! 💜

so i've wanted to write an olympics fic since before even getting into LS, i've read so many over the years that i've loved so much, and i find the scenario super compelling. i'd just been waiting for an actual plot to strike me, i think? and this summer i came up with something for LS and mostly spent a lot of august braindumping to @sanjuwrites (s/o to her for putting up w my chaos tbh)

at first it started off as a story set entirely at the olympic games, with everyone doing a different sport. i think tk and mateo were gymnastics and carlos was track and field? paul was swimming, judd was javelin, grace was gymnastics, and..... i can't remember what i was thinking for nancy and marjan but they were originally supposed to be different sports too.

changing it to be about gymnastics entirely mostly came from me being overwhelmed at writing that ^^ because i'd never be able to do justice to everyone, that's like seven stories in one lmfao

but the basic premise is that carlos is coming back to the sport after tragedy struck at the previous olympic trials four years ago, when he got hurt and had to miss out on the games. tk made the team and won big and it skyrocketed his career. he's determined to go to his second olympics, and makes the decision to move to texas and join the gym that carlos's parents own. after over a decade of mostly just seeing each other at competitions, tk's thrilled to finally get to train with carlos, but he quickly finds out that the carlos he grew up with could not be more different than the person he's become.

it is..... very much still in the beginning stages (i would share a snippet if i had something but alas i do not my apologies) but i'm starting to outline. mostly all vibes no plot atm 😅

#i really love this concept i'm very excited to really get into it #admittedly been consumed w exes to lovers lately so this has taken a backseat but i have an entire list of ideas lol #thanks for asking!#olympics au #neha rambles #answered #welcometololaland

For the get to know your fic writer meme: 2, 11 (I don't know if it means of your works but that's what I wanna know), 16, 28, 40 & 65? Sorry I got a lil carried away

hello friend, thanks for the ask!! realized i reblogged this without access to a laptop and had to wait til i had mine again to answer 😂 but here we go! (Also don't apologize, these are fun! Mostly I'm sorry because I can't answer briefly like a normal person, and this response is probably going to take up a lot of space, lol.)

2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?

I don't have too many multichapter fics, and I think they've all been done differently, haha. "love don't roam, but occasionally it wanders off" was mostly outlined in advance. "the rose-pond swap" was me messing around at the beginning, but then people read it (lol, how dare people read this) and I frantically tried to plan the rest of it (and we can all see how that went 😂). "the weight of words" has the barest skeleton of an outline just to keep track of the canon timeline, but otherwise is just being made up. "my mind turns your life into folklore" was written on a complete whim, no thoughts head empty just eightrose. (I think we can infer here that planning worked best, but alas, it also appears that I'm bad at that.)

11. Link your three favorite fics right now (I don't know if it means of your works but that's what I wanna know)

😅Desperately going to try to remember what the heck I've written...

gravity like a lunar landing - Twelve is a major challenge to me, and I'm really proud of this because I think I managed to properly explain the way I see him in this one

Barcelona: Where No Doctor Has Gone Before! - Is the plot good? no. However, there are five Doctors, and it was fun, and even if I wish I'd planned it better, I'm fairly pleased with the result.

a more literal method of compartmentalization - I suspect this will always be one of the ones I'm most proud of, in that I knew what story I wanted to tell and somehow I got there? Wrote this in a sleep-deprived haze so no clue how that happened, but I'm glad it did!

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

Technically speaking, a lot. Things I'm actually thinking about writing? Maybe like... 5? 2 are Spotify asks from the frickin 2021 Wrapped game and YES I've started I swear 😂😅 I just got stuck. Various other people/conversations have had me revisiting like 4-5 things I'd jotted down in the past (Eight chameleon arch, a tenrose Bridgerton thing, a sequel to something, an out-of-order thing). Uhh, in non-DW news, I've got a Hellcheer thing I really want to write that's mostly about "right person, wrong timing" angst (with a happy ending because it's me, lol).

28. On average, how much writing do you get done in a day?

Most days, I don't write. When inspiration strikes, anywhere from 500 - 2000 words, probably. On a few rare occasions, I've just cranked out the whole story in one sitting, but I don't generally have time for that nowadays.

40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

This is such an interesting question... I've never really even considered this. I think one of the scenes I most consciously decided to try to make pretty is the Woman Wept scene in LDRBOIWO (that is a bad acronym lol), so that could be nice? I'll have to think about this more!

65. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

Honestly, at the moment the thing I'm most hopeful about writing is the Hellcheer thing mentioned in 16. DW-wise, though, I really want to go update all of my WIPs sometime soon, and I want to get at least one of the songfics done--I feel like I'll feel way less guilty about starting new projects if I wrap up some of the outstanding ones.

Little Update! Hi! ^^

Hello there, little stars. I hope you all are having a lovely day!

Quick update: I'm more recovered now from my medical exams - not 100%, but hopefully I'll be soon. Next week, I'll travel to a place with no internet whatsoever, so I won't be able to post - I hope to post a few things this week to compensate ;)

To the brilliant people who sent me asks: I'll work on them! Thank you!! I have a few sitting here waiting eagerly to be written, and I do like to do them in sort of an order from oldest to newest (if inspiration doesn't strike for something out of the order). So, I'm not ignoring you!! I'll get to it, I just take a little time "^^

Also, I'm trying to launch... Hmmmm... A project...? I think that's how I'd define it? It has to do with DMC and all help from you guys to spread the word when it's done will be welcome, so stay tuned! I think you're going to like it \o/

Lastly, this place I'm going to, I consider it to be my home. It's far from where I live, kinda countryside, but I grew up there and I miss it so so much - I'm very excited to go back there! I might post some pictures here because I love it with all my heart, but we never got to installing internet at our home there. So I can't waste too much of my cellphone internet, or I'll have nothing by the middle of the week xD

Alas, I'll have to reduce my time playing Dislyte I've been having a lot of fun on it lately

I haven't been working too much on writing because I was kida of down, waiting for my tests results. Now I'm waiting for my doctor to take a look at it, but I can rest easier now knowing it isn't something too bad "^^

Thanks a lot for your patience and for sticking here with me! I hope to take you guys through many other writings and fun projects!

#polaris speaks #update #life update #personal #asks #hope to have a lot of things to post this week!#I'm actually excited for next week ^^

Hi Hazel! This is TiredImpact - I wish Tumblr let us 'ask' things with side blogs, but alas 🙃 One of your recent asks about Diluc's chest gave me a sudden burst of inspiration (because of course it did). I decided to share this little scene - maybe it'll bring you a bit of joy? Your writing always brightens my day, but it's the person behind the blog that keeps me coming back. From one internet acquaintance to another, I hope you're doing well. 💖 No pressure to respond!

---------

A grandfather clock strikes once, echoing from somewhere down the hall. You creak open the door of Diluc's study and find him sitting in a backless chair, shirt open, about to take off his boots.

He hears your approach but feels your hand in his hair before can shake the cobwebs from his brain. You gather a few tangled strands and brush them to the side, exposing the wrinkled collar of his shirt. The fabric slides over his skin and suddenly he feels your lips on his neck.

His breath hitches as you trail down his shoulder and softly slide your hands under the loose fabric of his shirt. He slowly leans back into your embrace, relinquishing some of his weight into your arms. You can't help but smile when he tilts his neck, opening himself to you. The hands on his torso make him shiver and he let's out a small, delicious noise from the back of his throat when you gently bite his ear.

You finally settle on his chest, fingertips running over every scar and indent. He whispers your name and you hum in response, prompting him to speak. His voice is hushed and deep in the late hour.

"What did I do to - to deserve this kind of-" he shudders at your thumb gently caressing his nipple until it hardens under your touch, until he's pressing into your hand. You switch sides and massage his chest, your manner just shy of hungry. He tilts his head back against your shoulder to watch your hands on him, eyes heavy-lidded and lips parted.

His body is usually hidden from view, away from assumptions and unwanted questions about his shiny, mottled skin. But you hold him with acceptance and reverence; he is momentarily uninhibited beneath your caring hands. These small moments with you, hidden away from prying eyes, allow him enough peace to relax. His worries slowly fade into the background until all he can think about is you - about the way you feel wrapped around him, the way you smell, the way you hold him-

"What were you saying, Diluc?" The breathlessness of your voice sends a shiver down his spine.

"I..." he chuckles weakly, "At the moment I - I can scarcely remember my own name."

"Mmm? Do you want to?" There's an agenda in your question and you wait patiently for his answer. His calloused hand gently covers your own, pressing you further into the meat of his chest. If only you could see the softness of his expression.

"I don't believe I do."

"Then..." he shivers at your warm breath in his ear, "I'll help you remember tomorrow morning."
