hello if you wanted to could you make a lost of your wips? and like, their current state or anything!! just want to enable you to talk about them as much as you want

Hi nonnie! I have a lot to say, so this was a treat! Ty for asking 🥰

Lately I’ve been having little brain worms for either really short ideas that I write up entirely and then leave, or start writing and decide it doesn’t have legs, so I’m writing but I’m not like… finishing any projects 😅 a lot of these haven’t been touched in a while but they’re the things I intend to continue writing to finish - I’ve just been struggling to wrap up the details because 1) severe adhd and 2) a lot of them are BIG instead of the horny PWPs I used to write a lot of. It’s also non comprehensive bc I do just have other old WIPs that come out of nowhere and catch my eye that are saved elsewhere

Under the cut for a VERY long list

Interview with the vampire:

- I like men called daddy (I’d you didn’t know that I like [redacted], now you know)

- Other misc drabbles (all horny)

Check please:

- superhero au (like half written??)

- Focus (adhd bitty fic) (not written at all bc, in peak irony, I start a lot of projects abt my adhd blorbos having adhd, and then don’t write them, bc I am one of my own adhd blorbos)

Watchmaker of filigree street:

- Misc drabbles (all fluff)

Trc (all of these are just plot bunnies atm ie nowhere near getting fully written any time soon)

- BLLB coda (based on ch41 bc I like making Adam sad)

- Genderqueer Adam (exploring his view of gender and otherness, etc)

SOC

- Arranged marriage au (I have set a date to start posting this!!! By god ch1 will be up the week after i finish sharing mermaidlan ie two weeks!!!)

- Wylan centric orgy fic (fully written! Just needs editing)

- Royal kylan to wesper to kawesper (fully written! Being edited! 6 chapters of overly symbolic porn! It’s great!)

- Sugar baby au (did SO MUCH on this & am still so!! Jazzed!! Have slowed a bit but will likely be my next Big thing)

- Cowboy au (v sadly I’ve lost momentum on this bc I fuckin! Adore it! I love it so much but words won’t come 😅 ngl might rewatch westworld & get inspired)

- Enby wylan (so fun 👀 just taking time to do it justice/figure what I want to do with it)

- Wylan abuse study (ghost analogies but too personal to do huge amounts with consistently lol)

- Halloween fluff ft baby (i have a deadline for this so it should hopefully be shared soon!!)

- Dead Jesper (too sad to work on consistently)

- West stave jordie (yeah 😅 this is the fic that keeps making me super squicked for obvious reasons so it’s slow going)

- Jesper can’t read: the fic (shitpost, slowly being chipped away at w annnesbonny)

- Cabin slow burn (just chipping away as & when bc it’s cute and easy)

- Seaside au (have not touched this in Fuck knows how long lol)

- Domx wylan (same as above tragically bc I know folks are excited 🥲)

- Ballet dancer/bodyguard au (not a priority)

- Royal/musician au (not a priority)

- General post canon Jesper character study (really want to finish this as a gift for the person who req’d it but it’s a bit slow)

- El dorado kazpernej (I have some hiccups on this but still rly want to finish it!)

- Mini strictly come dancing au (on god this is just what i write while strictly is on)

- Stripper Jesper (this has LEGS man, I just dont want to start yet another long ass au)

- Supermodel/photographer au (I had a really specific few scenes I wanted to write, which I’ve now written, and eventually I’d like to finish this but I (surprise surprise) I didn’t want to add to my list of long half finished things so it’s just chilling for now)

- Remote control buttplug kazper (mostly finished but I’m a bit eh about it)

- Skeet shooting aka wylan deals with the merchant council, and also shoots a gun (cannae complain it’s wylan and a gun, and also lake sex)

- Winglan (have not touched this in weeks but it’s a monsterfucker au bc why the fuck not)

- Rock band au PWP (horny as hell, but I don’t have the time to devote to it rn, still love it)

- “Face sitting” (which is a draft i has of a few hrs ago because an anon had a Very specific request that I am here for)

I also have loads of fics that are just finished that I haven’t shared or done anything with yet! But these are all fully written ? I might drop them in at weekends between AM AU chapters bc those are going to be biweekly? Idk man I have no plans or else I wouldn’t have such a fuck off massive list of written fics

- Pynch hand kink

- Helnik wedding (Jes pov)

- Random kanej pwp aka pretty boy kaz

- Wynej fluff

- Jesper shows wylan his dick piercings

- Drunk Jesper post canon fluff

- T4t wesper discover the joys of strapons

- Mini smut sequel to spin cycle

- Horse riding fluff & general horny wesper

I’m also doing nano which is a contemporary romance but I’m still early days on that, it’s lots of planning!

#to sum up: I’m a fucking mess and I hate myself LOL #feel free to send me an ask for more details or snippets off any of them!!!#these are all things I intend to finish at some point it’s just. Yknow. difficult to focus #asks #anon

Note

if we were roommates, i'd make u lunch boxes with little notes that say "go fuck yourself <3" then send u off. but anyways for da ask game,,,,,, 7, 9, 21, 25, and 30 pls

ah hell yeah synth put another note with my goldfish!! time to add it to the collection :)

7. A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate oh man there's a lot to pick for me. because theres so many fun ones out there. my first go to is modeling. especially with clay. its always so fun to watch and i would love to work in one day but. im lazy and work takes too much out of me to try it.

9. What are your file name conventions it's either something dumb or the character's name generally. "Taibhse Temakariri.png" and "loud chain chop noises.png" literally in my art folder Right Now that's right next to one another. for my working sai files sometimes its like that and then you got "wip 2.sai", "villain ref.sai" nothing will be as funny as DEATH.sai being in the middle of my desktop tho.

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways oh man. most of my friends/mutuals art honestly????????? (yes that includes u bitch <3) outside of that, i can say Yoji Shinkawa(metal gear artist)'s style is one that i LOVE deeply. i feel like im cheating here because im just gonna continue to end up listing styles that I Love and probably influence my stuff in some way.

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by uhhhhhhhhhhhh. honestly? i dont know if ive had this experience. or if i did i sure dont remember. i dont tend to get my style compared to w/ other stuff or at least if it does, i never hear about it. closest i get is that ill tell my influences and someone will be like "yeah i see it"

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated I HAVE LIKE THREE THAT COME TO MIND, ACTUALLY,,,,,, but two are some form of self portraits so they probably shouldnt count but damn it theyre really good tho... ill reblog them all after this bc imma gonna be That Bitch but specifically this orc piece i posted on new years should have went hard.

Art Block tips that helped me

I’ve recently experienced art block after 3 or so months of overcoming my last one. Thankfully this block only lasted a few days thanks to some things I’ve observed and noted down from the previous time. So I’m sharing these few tips in hopes that it might help someone get unstuck :D!

First and foremost if you’re tired, sad or anxious don’t be surprised that you can’t make art, go and take care of yourself by treating yourself with kindness and patience, the sketchbooks and canvases will wait for you :)

The tips are under here:

Separate art studies from the creative time: When you do art studies you’re there to focus on specific things, learn and understand how things work so you can apply them later in your art. Studies take a lot of energy and focus and are the opposite of the creative "flow” of making your own pieces. If you combine the two the results are either unfocused studies or stiff drawings. When you sit down at your desk ask yourself “Do I want to learn something new or do I want to create something of my own?”

When you have an idea don’t be afraid of being messy: Let’s say you want to make a picture of several cats kolo dancing in the moonlight. How do you go about doing this? Well since you came up with the idea you already have a vague image in your mind, sketch it out with simple shapes, stick figures, circle and spheres etc Don’t worry about cat anatomy, or the dancer’s moves, sketch out the essence of it. This method removes the need to be perfect or accurate.

Ok after the messy sketch then what? Well now that you have sketched out the essence of your idea (and hopefully had fun doing so) now you go on to look for references! You put the creative process on pause and you can do a few brief studies if you need to: anatomy, color schemes, values, poses. Pick out a few of your favorites but don't obsess over them, they are a guide, a tool.

You know much more than you think. You’ve probably been drawing for a few years now. You’ve probably done some studies and drawn more than one type of subject. Then you have already internalized some of that information. I used to be obsessed with capturing the minute detail of the subject, and not be able to draw ANYTHING without reference. Instead of a useful tool, references became another obstacle to my creativity. That’s perfectionism my friend, and that’s no good. Here is an exercise a good friend of mine offered: Draw a few characters, animals and objects from imagination. Make sure that the subjects have no personal value to you (no ocs for example) so that if you make a mistake you won’t feel bad about it. Make the process relaxed and comfortable, pour a nice cup of joe, listen to your favorite music ... You will notice that you do indeed know how to draw some things without reference, and it’ll help with your confidence.

The more you do studies the more you understand This seems evident but the more you understand your subject the freer you can be and the easier it’ll be to draw it from imagination in the future. If you really struggle with something to the point of frustration (as in you can’t get it right even with reference) It means you have to study it. Have a study list, for example: hands, perspective, color theory etc. And one of those days you want to study pick something from the list, and look for videos on youtube or useful sites like line of action etc. Only study one thing at the time. You can go from studying hands to studying arms since they’re more immediately connected, but you can’t study hands and then jump to learning perspective right after. Trust me you can learn perfectly fine with the resources online, and I’m sure you’re clever enough to do it :D

Mistakes don’t mean you “suck” I’ve noticed that the two most common causes for art block are perfectionism and lack of self-confidence. The two can often go in tandem which is worse :’D But let me remind you of something, you can fix your piece along the whole process. Use erasers, lasso tools, liquify , select, paint it all over etc If something looks off to you then you also know deep inside how to fix it. Useful ways to see what clunks: flip canvas horizontally (helps with placement, proportions), turn the image to grayscale (helps to check values and where your eye tends to look), look at your image in thumbnail size and ask yourself if it’s clear, see the pose’s silhouette and ask yourself if you can tell what the character is doing etc. Don’t fret, everything can always be fixed :)

Perfectionism, sometimes it stops you before you begin Perfectionism causes you to overwork a piece, it makes you draw less, it makes art stressful, it brings insecurity. Let’s remove it with a simple exercise. It can be combined with the “draw things from imagination” once you’ve drawn something you like: dont do line art, don’t shade it, keep it as simple and crude as possible and then...post it. Yes, post it. You’re not at your best? You’re only human, this will help you embrace that very human side of you. You make mistakes. So what? The more mistakes you make the more you know what you need to study and the better at art you become. Mistakes are there to show us what we need to learn. See them as another tool and not a sign of failure.

Make the process as enjoyable as possible: You like art. You love drawing. Never forget this. Otherwise why are you drawing if you don’t enjoy it? It’s easy to fall prey to the mentality of those relatable memes that “art= suffering” or “I can’t even draw the other eye”. No no no my friends, these messages are fueling your insecurities instead of overcoming them. Let me tell you what, art is fun. It is. Art is fun, because I decided to make it fun again. And you should decide on that too. Personally I adore lineart but my hand-eye coordination is lacking to do it digitally, so....I just skipped it. Yes. I skipped it. I do the sketch, I clean it up a bit and then jump onto color which I adore. It allowed me to draw more and more freely. When I draw I listen to music, make strokes with the rhythm, I take breaks often and I drink my favorite iced teas. If you don’t like coloring do it in grayscale, if you love lineart then do that etc It doesn’t mean you won’t learn your weak points in the future with studies and practice, but you won’t let your weaknesses prevent you from drawing at all. No no, you won’t let them. You draw because you want to, despite of them.

Don’t wait for inspiration, provoke it Inspiration is not a divine and capricious muse. You make inspiration. It’s easy just collect all the things you like, music, artists, objects, characters, animals, patterns, plants etc Make boards on pinterest or similar sites, combine things you like. You like suits? You like birds? You can draw a bird in a suit, or a bird-inspired suit design, there is frankly a lot of ideas that can spring up from little things like these.

When a project stops being enjoyable either pause it for now or move on to the next thing. Pieces aren’t precious. They’re not “the one time I got x right” they are one of many. This advice goes mainly to hobbyists who can afford the luxury of passing to a new project. I have a WIP of a character who is overly complicated (I enjoy a challenge from time to time) sitting for half a month. I sometimes come back to it and add something... but as soon as it starts to create discomfort and insecurity instead of enjoyment I move onto something else. In the meantime I created 3 or 4 new pieces. If I had waited on finishing that piece I would have been severely creatively and physically exhausted. The art comes from you, not inspiration. The more art you make the better you become.

That’s about it :D I know it’s long but I prefer to be thorough and cover all the possibilities. If you have read of this: Thank you so much I hope this helps you at least a bit, if it helps only 1 other person I’d still be very happy. Have a nice one, and kick art block’s butt!

MatsuHana fanfic recs

HI LOVES :D MatsuHana is one of my FAVORITE ships and I always love reading their fics! I’m procrastinating my other wips rn, so that do be why this is coming out rn LOL. Also that ask really made me get onto writing this, so anon thank you for sending it in LOL. There are some with VERY sensitive topics and they’re very BOLD, but I hope you all are safe while going through this list <3 (also matsuhana leans more to lots of drinking, spicy smut scenes, and teenage boy humor (like d*ck jokes and sexual innuendos) and sometimes I don’t remember to warn for that, so again CAUTION)

As always, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for fics before reading and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3

CP:

plus one by orphan_account (G) 6.1k // this fic made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside LOL. It’s also hilarious and is definitely worth a read! When will I get to share a heart shaped bed with someone :( But I really love it when they just go with the flow of things, and other people are like,,, aren’t you already dating? BUT THEY’RE LIKE UMMM NO? HSAKJSH.

rated m for by orphan_account (T) 10.7k // I love this fic it made me laugh so much throughout the whole thing! The vibes in this fic are immaculate and give me life (we love a good reunion with mystery writers), it is SO good! That’s why you should never leave/stop listening prematurely (@ iwa when he was a single dad fic).

This gets annoying fast, Makki by Ink_stained_quills (G) 2.3k // IM IN LOVE WITH THIS FIC PLS I COULD NOT STOP CRYING TEARS OF LAUGHTER. This AU needs more fics PLEASE. It was SO freakin’ funny and the other teams KILLED ME. Like how they all approached the problem differently and how some of them (KUROO) asked for help LOL. Please this is so freaking funny go read it.

quidditch gloves, parchment, and custard cream by h_lovely (T) 12.4k // THIS IS SO GOOD, I love this fic. It really takes you through the emotions, and I love all the development in it!!!! Their relationship with one another (but only as homies right? ofc ofc), and even their families loving the other, this fic is so good! Read it even if you don’t like slow burn, you won’t even notice <3333

call me maybe by totooru (T) 33.6k // okay yea another (semi) chat fic,,, fight me. MatsuHana are just funny in general but throw some other characters (like Kuroo) into it and it turns into a comedy show. But the main point of this fic was like the near miss meetings and I think that the misunderstanding were hilarious (as much as I hate misunderstandings LOL).

Magical Mishaps and How to Deal by plumtrees (M) 10.9k // I lost this fic once and I searched for it FOR THE LONGEST TIME. But that’s cause I wanted to reread this masterpiece. IT’S SO FUNNY AND CUTE AND DOMESTIC AND UGH. Also the small angst made me SO SAD. But the ENDING? THE KISSES AHHHHHHH. (I’m yelling a lot BUT that’s cause I really love this fic <3333)

hang out fall in love by carafin (T) 8.6k // I love the Makki hates Mattsun initially but then falls for the irresistible charm he posses trope. It might be my favorite trope for MatsuHana specifically LOL. Like I really love this fic and it has MAGIC. It’s like a magical version of the VA one LOL. But like no radio shows or reunited best friends in this one :(

THESE ARE VERY ANGST!!!!!!!

boiled frogs by reginagalaxia (E) 91.5k // is it possible to hate a character this much? I never realized how much hate/rage I had in me. Really. Like. Imma boutta fight this MF LIKE SQUARE UP. The way I tried to manifest a fake characters death like,,,, Anyway. If my RAGE doesn’t explain how good of a freakin writer they are, then idk what will. PLEASE READ THE TAGS AND WARNINGS, THERE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TOPICS!!!!

Even Though it All Went Wrong by plumtrees (T) 9.2k // THIS IS THE REASON THIS POST CAME TO BE. I love this fic with all my heart (or what’s left of it). Like LOVE as in, this fic really broke me beyond just breaking me. Like. When Oikawa says what he says to Mattsun after the thing (you’re sorry __ _____ __ ____) and the Iwa right after (we know __’__ ___ ______ to make you ____ __ ____) (if you’re wondering wtf I’m putting here, just ctrl F you’re sorry and you’ll see), you cannot believe how hard that hit. GOD. (I am okay if you’re wondering :’)) This is my #1 favorite angst fic of all time and if you are okay mentally and have read the tags and warnings and are fine with them, then please read it. PLEASE READ THE TAGS AND WARNINGS, THERE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TOPICS!!!!

The Truth Comes Out by Your_Friendly_Neighborhood_Pigeon (T) 10.2k // this made me so sad and empty after I read it. Like I just sat there being like wtf did I just read I’m sad now. Again read the tags, there is a suicide attempt but there’s also some cheating in this one. This one also ends happy. PLEASE READ THE TAGS AND WARNINGS, THERE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TOPICS!!!!

New:

kiyala // this writer has a LOT of fluffy MatsuHana and I really love their works! It’s just all (for the most part) really cute and there’s a lotta blurred lines and boundaries that get cleared up (they define what their relationship is but with ~love~) in their fics :) My fav? Making Sense by kiyala (T) 1.5k // it’s very cute and I am one who loves when things just fall into place :D

tookumade // this writer has some of MY FAVORITE MatsuHana fics in it and I’m kinda really sad I don’t get to ramble on about them here :( (dw I will elsewhere LOL) If I had to choose, I would say Remind Me by tookumade (T) 28.6k and Zenith, Nadir by tookumade (T) 10.7k were my absolute favorites, but I cannot choose between them so don’t make me.

plumtrees // I LOVE THIS WRITER OMG. Again, someone who has written my all time FAVORITE fics (did I mention OF ALL TIME?) and I’ve obsessively read some of them too many times :’) Because I already recommended my other faves above, Captured Light by plumtrees (T) 3.5k will be my acting favorite rn. It’s really cute and depicts some really sweet moments between MatsuHana too!

h_lovely // this writer has SO MANY GOOD FICS! I really love their series and their getting together fics are all SO GOOD UGH. I recommended my favorite teen one above, but the other ones I loved are explicit so just check out this writer in general LOL. (I REALLY love mirror flower, water moon, it’s my favorite but it’s E cause some smexy scene happen, but it’s really SO good omfg. Also the roses series IS AMAZING as well!!!!)

cream puffs and carnations; by crossbelladonna (series) 11.6k // AU SERIES!!! I love the AU’s in this series and I really liked the prompts they chose for this MatsuHana week :D My favorite from this series might’ve been there he is again by crossbelladonna (T) 1.6k cause a) I love the mattsun hc in this (for his appearance) and b) IT’S CUTE :D I definitely related to Makki and his not very subtle crushing, and also I like the IwaOi + Makki as friends trope (and then they meet Mattsun), if you couldn’t tell yet LOL.

on the anatomy of crushes by carafin (T) 2.3k // (kinda cp but not LOL) it’s very short and cute and I love it a lot LOL. I love medical AU’s (even though it’s very back burner LOL), but also, like Mattsun saves the day is the move. Like the dedication he has even going on the bus? Especially for a guy? Amazing. I could never :’)

Parallel Lines by orphan_account (T) 16.3k // IN LOVE WITH THIS FIC LIVES IN MY MIND RENT FREE CONSTANTLY. I hate math. Just putting that out here. And while it’s a math fic, IT? IS? SO? GOOD???? And like I love it when characters are smart, like I love intelligent characters so like this was just ajndf. (also same Mattsun, I am allergic to normal math.)

live it up, drink it in by punybastard (T) 2.1k // GAH this one! This is a pretty iconic fic in MatsuHana hell (in my personal opinion) and if I didn’t have that two fic limit on my staple fics, this would be there. I really loved the ending of it (v cute and v well done), but also the small side stories that were inserted made it all the more entertaining :D (aka the volleyball) But they are drinking underage, so if you’re not about that BE WARNED.

it's cold out here by bishounen_curious (M) 8.6k // PLEASE I LOVE THIS FIC. YES READ YESYESYES READ. OKAY FIRST check tags and warnings, there’s a lot going on in this fic. Like don’t be stupid like them, drinking underage, and don’t do drugs not a good idea very very bad. Aside from that, I am in love with sad sad sad Makki (along with stupid IwaOi) and him being a sad drunk made me ajhkjdfs. Just read it and feel the akfnakjs with me LMFAO.

poolside by tothemoon (T) 4.1k // I’m starting this out with I LOVE the ending and I REALLY LOVE the way this confession panned out. It’s such a great concept and it made me ajhfldshf inside!!! Also, recursive endings are some of my favorites (if you couldn’t already tell LOL), and I think it really makes something so nostalgic and adds depth to a fic.

The Courage of Stars by FairyLights101 (T) 7.1k // AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS FIC YES!!!! OKAY TW CANCER THERE’S CANCER IN THIS NO DEATH JUST PAIN and chemo (which basically is pain). Some controversy, but the angst part of me wanted him to die DONT GET ME WRONG, I’m glad he lived, but like imagine. I really love this fic, and his efforts in the bucket list were admirable :’)

we could be the greatest team by anyadisee (T) 5.7k // it’s my crack fic :D Yes, this is just Seijoh messing around, boys being boys, relationships being compared with other relationships. No pining, just me with my established relationships (and Iwa fanclubs cause those are a thing. ALWAYS).

Wet Your Whistle by darkmagicalgirl (E) 5.4k // SMUT ALERT okay but like while it’s a major plot point (lmfao I can’t believe myself), the storyline itself is good. Also, I’m all here for bartender Makki and tattoo Makki and not subtle at all Makki and basically everything Makki. I like banter and stupidity okay?

[obnoxious clucking noises] by parenthetic (renaissance) (T) 3.4k // some more crack fic for you <3333 Literally, just idiots being idiots. That’s the fic. LMFAO but seriously, I would like to participate as well,,,,, I have yet to lose a game of gay chicken cause of my lack of fear akdjaslk.

that's what you get (for waking up in vegas) by skittidyne (T) 4.2k // THIS IS SO FUNNY. I love Elvis cause he’s always officiating marriages in my fics LMFAO. But also IwaOi in this added some real nice comedy, and overall another crack fic but I really liked this one (AGAIN LMFAO).

A Bouquet of Flours by guyfierimpreg (G) 5.2k // first I want to know how they got the flour to scream, I just can’t figure it out so if anyone would like to send me pictures that’d be great. Second, they would do this bs and this is all canon. I said what I said, and I don’t take criticism. Like, matsuhana best parents proven by the magical mishaps fic (LMAO).

texting (with a capital S) by parenthetic (renaissance) (M) 2.1k // okay I just wanted to say that the accuracy in the math stuff being mentioned makes me feel like this writer was in calc ab or something and that’s trauma right there. Anyways, it’s a texting fic kinda sorta getting together kinda sorta not? Idk how to explain it, but it was funny and then smut LMFOAJIAHFSJS (the derail was just like IwaOi in gay chicken, someone call the police LMFAO).

nebulas by tothemoon (T) 10.8k // I like the casualness of it. Like the confession was just so casual (smooth Mattsun) and like the progression was GOOD. Like, it’s a very poetic fic and there’s lots of thinking of deeper meaning, but its still got some comedy sprinkled throughout. I really loved the flow of it!!!!

my heart beats for contract law by orphan_account (T) 4.4k // I too would have a breakdown over school (me pretending like I haven’t already done that ahaha), but I really love so many things about this fic! Everything was just so ajsdfljdsn and I really love the 3 part plan Mattsun comes up with :DDDD (esp pt 3). Also, to propose while having an emotional breakdown at 3am in a McDonalds drive through. A mf dream.

Reflex by hiuythn (T) 2.3k // PLEASE IF THEY DIDN’T MEET AT HS THIS WOULD BE CANON ASF. You cannot tell me you don’t think this would not be cannon asf. They would meet like this. Also poor Teuchi stuck in the middle of all of this. I haven’t watched naruto, but it doesn’t really matter. What matters is random emotional sexual bonding over something. That is important. (THE ENDING AJKFHKJ)

You're in Pink (and I'm in blue) by Hyeyu (T) 4.4k // whooooo Hanahaki whooo anyway, despite how it seems, I like the hanahaki trope. I don’t fully understand it sometimes (most of the time tbh), but it adds some nice angst and desperate confessions, and I do appreciate those :D Honestly, I really liked the way this fic panned out, and I felt really bad for Iwa LOL.

stranger things by tinypersonhotel (G) 10.2k // I really like this one :D:D:D I love Makki + Oikawa friendship and they’re really the best to each other :’) The ending was satisfying, and the PLOT omg. It was SO good. I feel like I say this a lot though LOL, but I’m just really into fics with good plot progression (or else I don’t read them OOPS).

something of a disaster by latenights (T) 1.4k // chaos ahahhaha. Another crack fic? I hope no one is surprised LOL. It’s just a really short and simple, cute getting together fic with a LOT of insults LOL. I love this one in particular, “Tooru’s dinner special”.

snakes, meth labs and something like love by orphan_account (G) 3.6k // THE ROOMMATE AD PLEASE. I honestly would never think Oikawa would get a snake, but that doesn’t matter LOL. This was me indulging myself in the makki IwaOi best friends and mattsun stranger agenda but it’s a great agenda okay? It’s a good fic and there’s a microwaved fish :D

Lemonade by carriecmoney (T) 4.1k // okay once again, responsible drinking and don’t drink underage bad idea smh. But MatsuHana just making out where they want? I could see that. Yeah. Anyway, as much as public make out seshes make me *gag* feel embarrassed, what made me feel more *gag* embarrassed was the fact that the girls? just? stood? there? Like why are you watching this. Is that just me? I feel like they should’ve left smh.

surprise, surprise by airblends (T) 7.6k // some more pining and dancing around the issue whoooo. As much as I hate them not getting to the point (almost as much as I hate misunderstandings), it was a great fic. This is nosebleed c*ck block (idk if I needed to censor that but I did fight me).

A God for Every Season by timkons (T) 18.4k // I love the Hades and Persephone trope! Okay, I just love mythology leave me be, but anyway I really love a lot of this fic. Like how Mattsun thinks it’s a little brighter with Makki? CUTE I LOVE. But also, the fish funeral is ridiculous but also very on brand for Oikawa. And some BokuKuroo (idk is that their ship) in here as well :DDD

The Best/Worst Places to Cry in the City by AngryKitten (T) 4.4k // literally it is the title. Just you know, looking for the best place to cry in the city,,,, I’d like to say, don’t cat call people cause we’re not about that here. Even if it worked out for them, just don’t do it :/ Also don’t follow strangers. I feel like that’s a given but jic ya know?

this isn't exactly how i thought i'd be spending my adult years by jadedpearl (NR) 7.5k // okay petty Makki is yes and so is my Makki + IwaOi agenda LOL. (I’m thriving here can’t you tell? Yes regular skype/phone calls constantly) Anyway, blackouts and sickness really be here getting people together. (I’m asking nicely, nike.) And Makki is smooth with his words. (SHORTER MEN MADE ME LAUGH)

chocolate by tellalie (T) 3.6k // the dedication in this fic was amazing. Like making a whole a cake? Someone go do that for me. (For mankind.) Fake dating is really something else, but fake dating to out gag your best friends? Seems like I need to step up my game (but no seriously, my best friends are PDA monsters I hate it here). Also practice confessions are wack.

FINALLY I MADE IT. You don’t know how many times I almost gave up on finishing LMFAO. Is this my longest list? Idk. But I just know that I would’ve finished faster if I didn’t end up rereading almost every fic on this list LMFAO. Like no seriously I almost had to make a post saying this wouldn’t be coming out cause I got distracted by one of the longer fics (I’m blaming Mirror Flower, Water Moon specifically). But I hope you enjoyed this, and once again go thank that anon for spurring me into finishing this list LMFAO (am I a horse? Yea, probably but if one thing, I’m not sturdy).

So I saw your post about Twilight and have to say I absolutely agree! It's really reignited my passion to read some more twilight fic, so I was wondering if you have any recommendations (any which aren't reader insert specifically)? Or any other non-twilight ones for that matter. Stuck inside because of current events so looking to pass the time. You stay safe also xx

Thank you for asking this. Twilight fanfiction has long been a useless skill in my arsenal of fanfiction knowledge, so it’s wonderful to dust off the cobwebs and hand out some recs.

Most of these will be OC fanfics because honestly that’s just what I read. Most of them are also Rated M for sex or violence because often times in fanbases that are older like Twilight there’s a clutter of fanfiction from way back in the day when you could just do a novelization of the movie and call it a day, so you really have to find newer fanfics by fans who loved it back when it first came out and stuck with it as they got older. That’s not to say younger people can’t write, that’s just to say that when twilight was popular when I was a teen fanfiction standards were a different thing. So generally those fanfiction with sex or violence are the best written ones.

Also, all of these will come from fanfiction.net because I’ve been a member of that website the longest and read there the most often, it tends to have longer fanfictions as opposed to oneshots which is my usual reading preference anyway, and generally twilight reached its hayday when fanfiction.net was still the top dog, and even most people who write twilight now still use it.

Ok let’s start with some Twilight recs, in no particular order.

Wolves:

Dancing in the Moonlight - Embry Call x OC - Rated M - This is a spinoff oneshot of a Bella/Jacob fanfiction but the plot of that story isn’t relevant to this one. I read it without reading the fanfiction so it’s fine to do that. It’s basically pure fluff. The smut lasts like two seconds and then you’re just in it for the feels.

Always the Quiet Ones - Sam Uley x Emily - Rated M - An AU oneshot where they aren’t werewolves, and it’s just fluff and smut and in general a beautifully written story

Imprinting Has Advantages - Seth x OC - Rated M - Literally don’t know why this is rated M I think they’re might be a sex scene, but it’s so much fluff and romance I don’t even remember. This is a story about Seth imprinting on his best friend, and it’s just as sweet as you’d hope for.

Vampires:

Fate’s Decision - Demetri x OC - Rated M - This is a oneshot, rated M for violence. Demetri is a badass, and I want him to love me but he doesn’t.

His Angel - Demetri x OC - Rated M - This one’s rated M because this OC went through some shit. Explained by the author at the beginning of the story. Honestly Demetri fics are slim pickings so I take what I can get.

Hide and Seek - Demetri x OC - Rated T - Honestly my fave completed Twilight fanfiction. It has it’s faults in character development in my opinion, but it’s really well written. Imagine Demetri. Now imagine he falls in love with the only person he can’t catch.

Carpe Diem - Jasper x OC - Rated M - This is my favorite Twilight fanfiction, but regrettably it’s incomplete. I hold out hope the author will finish it. It’s Rated M but none of the chapters thus far warrant it, so it’s more like its Rated T. In general, I’m in love with this characterization of Jasper. Dont’ want to tell you any more than that.

The Psychic - Marcus x OC - Rated M - This one is a Work in Progress which is still regularly being updated. It’s got a well written driving plot, but the author adds more smut as each chapter goes by so whether you like it or not depends where you stand on that. In general, my favorite OC in a twilight fanfic. Imagine Aro catches wind of another Alice. That’s the start of this story.

Red and Black - Caius x OC - Rated M - Another WIP that’s being regularly updated. This one has the makings of being an incredibly long story, and I’m a sucker for a bad guy. Basically, Caius finds someone who’s suffered at the hands of wolves as much as him.

That’s what I’ve compiled so far and what I consider the best of Twilight fanfiction.

I’ve read some good Twilight fanfiction on AO3 before, but honestly its mostly cross-posts from fanfiction.net or just very short fluffy one shots without any plot. I’m a longer fic kind of person and not usually a person who reads something without plot. All of the oneshots on this list are pretty long, and the only story that’s all fluff, no plot, is the Embry Call one.

I’m still in the market for more Volturi fics (because I honestly love them, they’re my favorite characters), and for the life of me I can’t find an Emmett fic that I would say is even remotely decent. But I’m trying.

Give me a list of other fandoms your in and I’ll scrounge through my list of recs for you! I like a bunch of random stuff, so I’d hate to give you a useless list.

"Anyone can send me an ask with one of the titles and I’ll post a snippet or talk about that WIP!" The Acropolis, Tacet, Checklist, A Tiny Galaxy, Hearsay, Going Back, Ella Disenchanted, Making Peace, The Slashed Circle, Wake Up, Tenno, Midnight, Heliotropism, Arrhythmia, the one about Among Us, the one about Library of Ruina, the one that’s a D&D world concept. Yes, all of them. I know you wanna talk about all of them. So go, go forth and do it!

Hoooo boy, this is gonna be a long post. Lots and lots of writing snippets under the cut to avoid dash stretch!

The Acropolis - original - length uncertain - 1.4k and counting

im not ready for this im not i thought it would be yrs i thought id at least get an english degree first

omg sal whats goin on

fuckin hell whyd it have to be now i have a chem lab tomorrow

sally-tate macpherson. u never swear. ever. wtf is goin on.

ok. jess. i need u to listen really really carefully. understand?

answer the goddamn question ur scarin me

shut up and listen and this will go a lot better

fine but u need to tell me wtf is happnenig

ok. im going to tell you a bunch of stuff. not giving u advice, thats not allowed, but im gonna tell u stuff it seems like itd be impossible for me to know.

?????????????

i said shut up this is really important dont question how i know it. just go with it and figure out what to do. and dont die. bc no matter how crazy stuff seems, if u die, ur dead. here and everywhere. ok?

This is an original story coming straight from a @/writing-prompt-s prompt about a crack in a kid’s hardwood floor that they fantasized was a portal actually being one. I originally intended to write the entire thing like this, as a conversation over text, but that may not be feasible given a certain world-building detail at the other end of the portal (and the limits of my creativity lmao).

Tacet - The Blackout Club - one-shot - 3.2k and counting

She closed her eyes again, and there it was. Hallucination? Some new science trick with electromagnetic radiation off the visible spectrum? Evidence that she was actually going insane? Whatever it was, it burned behind her eyelids in bright, incontrovertible red - and was completely invisible when she opened her eyes again. There was just the usual mess of club posters and one big one about someone’s exceedingly dumb-looking lost cat.

Eyes open, there was only Sargent Snuggles. Eyes closed, there was the normal darkness and then three lines of text where the poster had been, wavering like scarlet fire:

JOIN TBC JOIN TBC JOIN TBC

TBC? What the fuck was that? She’d never heard of any group with that acronym before. Hardly aware of the flurry of weird looks from half the other people in the hallway, she crossed the hall to examine the lost cat poster more closely. It felt like perfectly normal paper when she touched it, and there wasn’t even a hint of red with her eyes open, unless you counted the cat’s tacky pink sweater. How the hell was this even possible?

“You’re finally cracking, Bri,” she groaned under her breath, then headed for her locker. She did have to get home. Add another big fat entry to the weird shit list.

A backstory one-shot for my Blackout Club OC Briar, telling the story of how she got into the club in the first place. I’ve been stuck in the same spot for a while now, after Briar’s friend Dani explains the club to her, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the scene’s over as is. Of course, writing the next one is the tough part.

Checklist - The Blackout Club - one-shot - 1.7k and counting

8. You still have a headache. Shouldn’t you go back to sleep and try to do this in the morning?

9. (wake up)

10. Nah, you’ve always been a night owl, and school starts criminally early, too early to get much done beforehand. It’s quiet, except for Dad snoring. Your parents are asleep already. You can stay up until this is done, and they’ll be none the wiser.

11. Your head hurts worse. It’s getting harder to think. At only 9 pm? 9:30? Whatever. You should sleep.

12. (wake UP)

13. What are you thinking? You have to read at least a little of this chapter, or there’s no way you’ll be able to bullshit your way through class tomorrow. Besides, all of a sudden, the silence feels...strange. Heavier? You can’t describe it.

14. You need to sleep. You need a drink of water or something. You need to finish this damn homework. You need to sleep. You need to sleep.

15. Stare at The Great Gatsby. It doesn’t make sense. Nothing makes sense.

16. Realize what’s up with the silence. Dad’s not snoring anymore. You aren’t feeling like yourself. You need to sleep.

17. Something’s weird.

18. (WAKE UP)

19. ...No. Something’s wrong.

Another Blackout Club story and another Interface Screw, as it were, this time in the form of a (very long) checklist. None of the characters have names (yet). It describes another way a kid could find themself running around at night with the Blackout Club, this time by fighting off the Song just enough to run into a club member who could wake them up the rest of the way. As with Tacet, I still need to write the suspenseful part.

---

A Tiny Galaxy - Warframe - 4 chapters planned, 1 complete, 1 in progress - 7.8k and counting

Try it if you don’t believe me, the kid in the vent had said.

It was impossible. It was physically impossible. All of this was impossible. Had the Void...? Could the Void...?

The ship was at a standstill. Her mother had tried to kill her, and something had happened. She’d made something happen. There had been no holoprojector in that kid’s hand. Nothing was impossible anymore.

Jhia took a deep breath. How the heck was she supposed to do this? Was she supposed to feel something, some internal guide? Blue Hair hadn’t said. Feeling incredibly stupid, she did a quick mental checkup on herself. Nothing felt wrong, or different - but now that she thought about it…

Afterward, she would try many times to explain it, and fail every time. The best she could come up with was that once she found the Void, calling on it was as easy and as natural as breathing. She opened her hands in front of her, concentrated on that force like an extension of herself, reopened her eyes, and there it was: a riotous little ball of energy, wisps and motes of light and not-quite-light like a tiny galaxy, the Tau system in the palm of her hand, raging.

More OC backstory time! This one’s for my Tenno, a nerdy fourteen-year-old (at the time of this story, anyway) by the name of Jhia, going through the hell that is the Zariman Ten-Zero and what happened on it. This is possibly the first part of the story I actually wrote: the roll-credits moment when Jhia realizes the Void’s changed her more already than she thought.

Hearsay - Lobotomy Corporation/Library of Ruina - one-shot - 1k and counting

"Oh? Did they investigate further?"

"They tried. Found a few fingerprints, but they didn't match anyone in the database."

"What's the update, then?"

"Reports from elsewhere in the district of someone not in uniform carrying a Zwei sword. They're slippery, good at avoiding us, which would suggest Syndicate operative to me and HQ. Except that in every one of the descriptions we managed to get, our sword thief is a child."

"What? How?!"

"You tell me, Iona. You're the one who went to the crime scene."

"Right... Jeez, if it's a kid, I guess that'd explain why Petrov thought they weren't a threat..."

"My thoughts exactly. HQ has a fair amount of hearsay to go on, but nobody can quite agree on how old the child is, or whether or not she's with a Syndicate. Most agree that she appears to be a girl, tall for a child, auburn hair, clothes and demeanor typical of a Backstreets native."

"We got a name?"

"They've heard Yeri, Kali, Redbird, Suma, Aelfin... No one knows which is her real one, or if it's even any of them at all."

"Damn. ...Say, are you going to drink that entire pot of coffee?"

"Help yourself."

This is one of those stories that turned into an accidental AU when more of canon came out. The idea behind it is that it’s Kali’s backstory told entirely in conversations in which she did not participate, showcasing the fact that a Fixer’s fame is their livelihood and Kali was about as famous as they come, before the whole L Corp thing happened. Of course, the vast majority of the headcanons here got invalidated with a certain Ruina update, so my motivation’s kinda down on this one.

Going Back has already been talked about here!

Ella Disenchanted - The Blackout Club - one-shot (maybe two-shot??) - 1.4k and counting

She woke. Her stomach went through a series of panicked flip-flops as she thought something strange had done it, Dad or a little-kid-nightmares shadow beast had made noise, but no - why had she fallen asleep in the first place? Her butt and shoulder were sore where they’d been leaning on the bottom and side of the windowsill, presumably all night, since the sun was full up over the trees on Old Growth Hill.

All night. She’d promised herself she wouldn’t fall asleep, but she did anyway. God dammit.

As she unfolded herself from her cramped ball, though, she froze. Under the comforter she’d pulled around her shoulders for warmth, she was wearing her gray jacket, a T-shirt, jeans, sneakers getting dried mud all over the carpet.

Last she remembered, she’d been in her pajamas.

In which a Blackout Club kid’s little sister wonders where he’s gone when he runs away to the boxcar, and tries to get to the bottom of the mystery herself. Usually she’d be too young for the club to recruit, but her investigations and an incident involving SAO are more than enough extenuating circumstance. Unlike most of my other WIPs, there’s a whole outline at the end of my doc for this one.

Making Peace - Warframe - multi-chapter - 1.5k and counting

“I…” Iksoh finally said. “Sorna, I hope you realize. I’m not into this. I never - I’m not doing this. Whatever you’re doing, I can’t.”

“I know,” Sorna said softly. The decision tore at her heart again and she almost backed out of the vent, but no. She had to go. She wouldn’t see another innocent crumple in her rifle sights. “I hope you realize. I’m not coming back.”

Behind her, Iksoh let out a long, shaky breath. “It’s taking all I’ve got not to report you right now. Sorna… the Queens’ll have my head for this. Please, please, let it be worth it. Go. Don’t let them take yours.”

“I won’t,” Sorna promised, and meant it.

Later, after her last fight for her freedom was done, on the Steel Meridian ship headed for Kronia Relay, Sorna looked out at the planet retreating behind her and thought of Iksoh. She’d just learned a new word from a Meridian soldier: vaykor tal, the defector’s spirit. Iksoh had let her go, at risk of their own life. They’d had a bit of the vaykor tal themself, even if they hadn’t known it, even if they’d thought it was just some weakness that was bound to get them killed.

“Ranre treri, duf krun,” she whispered into space, a Grineer well-wishing passed down from sergeant to tube-fresh lancer since time immemorial. May your hands be steady, and may life be kind.

This is an AU born of me and some friends wondering why in the heck Perrin and the Meridian hate each other so much in game. It’s about a group of Kavor - Grineer defectors distinguished from other Meridian members by their pacifism - who get to a Relay and start wondering the same thing. Besides Sorna (and, later in the story, Iksoh as well), there would have been Chakh, Beket, and Sydon, plus at least four of the syndicate leaders and a bunch of side-character OCs, all caught up somehow in what turns out to be a surprisingly far-reaching web of intrigue.

The Slashed Circle - Warframe - one-shot, probably - 429 and counting

In addition to their written and spoken language, the Grineer have a full language of hand signs. It has its quirks, as all languages do - be careful of confusing it with the Corpus sign language, in which the sign for “to pay” roughly approximates the Grineer sign for...a certain portion of the male anatomy. Among these is the common Grineer sentiment against those who defect from their ranks, baked into the sign just as much as their spoken words.

The sign of the slashed circle, the sedashkur - a finger drawn in a circle on the chest, followed by a diagonal line - is the highest of taboos to any loyal Grineer. It shows support for such scum as the Kavor and Steel Meridian, enough so that it forms the basis for the Meridian’s battle standard. To sign the sedashkur is to betray your siblings, commit a grave insult to your superiors, paint a near-indelible target on your back. It is an object of hatred and fear throughout the ranks.

She fears it, yes, but she does not hate it, for all her life and into her death as well. It shouldn’t trouble her now, though. It is easy to hide a language, and she burned her journals before she was called to the fortress.

This is a fic about Jhia and her one (1) converted Kuva Lich, namely about the process of said Lich’s defeat and defection, that kinda never got off the ground. Contrary to this snippet, I think most of it would have been written in what are essentially space emails back and forth between Lich and Tenno? I definitely got as far as Jhia sending an audio recording of a bass-boosted dog fart, anyhow.

---

Wake Up, Tenno - Warframe - one-shot - 950 and counting

“Wake up, Tenno.”

She wakes. She is - she is Tenno, right? She is a Tenno? Her mind is confused, so full of fog and dead ends - how long was she asleep?

The voice that woke her seems familiar. She might have loved the speaker, in her scrambled past life, the woman in the purple helmet, the one called Lotus in her HUD vision. Her surroundings are a ruin of some sort. Her body is—

...what?

She can move just fine. Her fingers and arms and legs respond with suspicious ease, given how long she must have slept to be this scattered upon waking up, and yet there’s some fundamental disconnect. This is her Warframe, her body, but it’s not her body somehow.

...wait, where did the term “Warframe” come from?

A Tenno, unnamed but intended to be Jhia on my end, wakes up on Earth at the very beginning of the in-game storyline. Since the tutorial has gotten an overhaul in recent months, I may have to modify even what little I have on this a lot.

Midnight - Iconoclasts - poem - 280 and counting

been anything smaller than been anything

never been anything smaller than

“good morning, how’s miss grump doing today? i heard about that last mission...if you didn’t sleep well i can call you in sick, it’s alright-” “oh, shut up, grey”

there has never been anything

“oh, shut up, grey” “love you too”

smaller

“love you too”

than

A very fragmented, stream-of-consciousness-y poem meant to represent Agent Black’s failing sanity near the end of the game. The words of her famous one-liner (“there has never been anything smaller than me”) are interspersed, out of order until the end, with poetic descriptions of other characters and bits and pieces of a flashback involving Agent Grey.

---

Heliotropism - Iconoclasts - one-shot - 1.1k and counting

Lily, though she’s superstitious, will have none of these self-important truths, none of these semblances of certainty when really all it is is wishing on Ivory and hoping for the best. She calls for Miss Andress instead.

A stout but severe woman with ten grandchildren and a great-grandchild on the way, Miss Andress is perhaps the quintessential matriarch: nurturing, selfless, brutally honest. She is the one the people of 17 trust when they feel they can trust no one else. Lily needs the kind of reassurance only she can give, with the authority of ninety-one years and the wisdom of two sons, one daughter, and some five dogs raised under her care.

When Miss Andress visits House 4, she asks Polro and Lily to each bring an object they cherish the most. For Polro it’s his largest wrench, pitted with use but still polished to a brassy shine; Lily surprises everyone by pulling out a tiny, unloaded stun-gun, and surprises them more by not explaining it at all. Miss Andress doesn’t question it. She just turns the two tools over and over in her hands, head bowed, squinting at them as if trying to read the secrets of the universe in the scratches carved into them by time.

Finally she straightens up and sighs, pushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear. Her forehead is slick with sweat, though the night is cool outside. “I don’t know what she’ll do,” the wise woman says, heavily, as if delivering bad news. “I just know she’ll change the world.”

Can you tell I like backstory fic? This one is for Robin, with one short anecdote for each year of her life, up to age 17 and the events of the game. It’s also an excuse to world-build a bunch, lol.

Arrhythmia - Crypt of the NecroDancer - one-shot(?) - 4k and counting

The creature didn’t say anything, just beckoned to the shadows. Before I could move, two other creatures came for me, sending the other humans - former humans? - scrambling away in panic. One landed a hard blow on the back of my head that sent me to my hands and knees, seeing sparks; the other said “Freeze!” and I could only watch as ice sprouted from the leaf litter, cementing me to the ground.

The one who’d hit me produced a dagger from the inside of its cloak. I tried to pull myself up, to do anything at all to keep myself from getting shanked, but it was no good. There must have been a secondary effect on that spell; my limbs wouldn’t respond. I felt the dagger tear cloth in the region of my back, and prepared for the pain.

It didn’t come. The creature cut a slit in the back of my tunic, then another. Neither one touched the skin at all. I can’t really describe what happened next - my brain was having trouble computing how my arms were in front of me, visible, unable to move, but it felt like the creature was pulling them through the gashes in my tunic, but that was wrong, they didn’t feel like arms at all.

“Holy fuck,” I heard someone say.

The ice holding me down melted into nothing as the spell wore off. I jumped back up, head spinning a little, ready for another fight, only to spot two flicks of scarlet in my peripheral vision. I spun around, but they moved with me.

I think I already knew what they were. I just couldn’t admit it to myself.

You’ve already seen this one, Nick, though I’m pretty sure it was well over two years ago. It’s a pile of old headcanons, some of them now outdated I’m pretty sure, about how Nocturna ended up a vampire in the first place and a little bit about how vampire society works. According to Google Docs, I’ve been stuck on this one since March 2018. Whoops.

untitled (working title “adult citra meets an impostor bc what is self-control”) - Among Us - one-shot - 572 and counting

“I know. You’re stuck, aren’t you?” Having well and truly gotten their full attention, Citra continues, “God, I can barely imagine. Having to take a weird-ass host whose biology might even be toxic to you, I don’t know. Needing to get to a whole other galaxy, feeling like the only way to do that is by deception and death.” “How…?”

She sighs. “I told you, this isn’t my first rodeo. One of your kind saved my life when I was a kid. Since he’d killed Mom and Dad had been out of the picture long before, he stayed here and helped raise me afterward. It’s how I learned to pronounce...a few of your words, at least.”

“You missed the ‘H’ sound.”

“Isn’t that the one that’s literally impossible to do right with Terran anatomy?”

“Maybe. You think I know Terran anatomy all that well?”

Citra chuckles. “Fair point. You let us find your buddy and fix the ship, I’ll raise Xai when we get comms back and he can try and help you get home. Deal?”

I found an Among Us comic on Tumblr, absolutely ran into left field with it to make a couple of OCs, and then made AUs of those OCs because of course I did. This one is from a future scenario in which Citra (typically orange) meets someone rather familiar on a mission with the crew of the Skeld.

---

untitled (working title “library of ruina but they adopt half the guests”) - Library of Ruina - length uncertain - 1k and counting

“And what happened to not caring about others because it’s a waste of time and heartache?”

Now it’s Roland’s turn to sigh. “I don’t care about him. I just don’t want the guilt of killing - look at him, he can’t be older than eighteen or nineteen!”

Raised eyebrow. “Finn will be twenty years old in fifteen days’ time. He is a legal adult. I fail to see why this should matter to either of us.”

“He’s fresh off his first Fixer license! I have years of experience! He had no idea what he was getting into when he signed that invitation and you know it!”

Angela fixes him with a glare that turns his stomach, his freshly remade body reacting to the memory of its sudden, and extremely painful, dismemberment. “I could quite literally hold your soul in my hands if I wanted,” she reminds him in an undertone of steel. “I must do the same for him, following the invitation’s guidance, or my entire plan will be lost, my coworkers’ sacrifices all for naught. Do not disappoint me or ask any more impertinent questions. You know what to do, and what will happen if you do not.”

Look, some of the people you fight in this game deserved so much better, okay? I came up with an AU concept where if a guest willingly concedes the fight and agrees to stick around, you can get their book without killing them. Finn doesn’t die; neither do Tomerry or Shi Association; all the former employees realize exactly what’s going on with Philip after the Wedge Office fight and manage to calm him down, avoiding the whole Crying Children situation. (And then Gebura makes him collect his jaw off the floor by revealing herself as the Red Mist.)

---

The one that’s a D&D world concept doesn’t have anything concrete written for it yet. (Don’t read this bit if you might want to play in my campaign at some point!) Instead of your typical Forgotten Realms planar setup, the world at large would be called the Seven Spheres, each of them different in terms of climate, geography, native species and magic, etc. The First Sphere would be the most “generic” one (to our way of thinking) and the main setting of the campaign; it would also be the smallest of the Seven, its primary continent home to a former empire of dragons that spanned most of the Sphere until its mysterious fall a thousand years ago.

Now, since the empire fell, the dragons and their children have slowly been dying out. Best estimates are that there’s only a thousand or two left in the entire First Sphere, with fewer eggs hatched every decade. The player characters enter a world with pretty typical low-level quests to start with, but every so often, especially if they engage with optional story stuff (this would be a more roleplay-focused than combat-focused campaign), they get wind of changes in the air - a failed harvest here, an unusually hot and stormy summer there, a trade war once they start hitting mid-levels.

It mimics real-world climate change in all but cause. As coastal cities struggle to contend with rising seas and, more alarmingly, wizards all over the Sphere start to notice their magic falter and wane, the PCs’ goal becomes getting to the bottom of this. And what’s at the bottom is...your typical Nerd fusion of science with fantasy settings.

The Seven Spheres are not planes of existence in the normal D&D sense, but seven planets in the same solar system, each with its own ancient god far more powerful than any god in any mortal pantheon; the First Sphere is so named because it’s closest to the sun. These planetary gods are incredibly large and incredibly alien, thinking in geologic time and concepts far too broad and slow for most sapient beings to comprehend. A thousand years ago, the fall of the dragon empire was caused by an ill-advised ritual meddling with the god of the First Sphere’s natural process of rebirth, causing said god to die without a replacement.

It’s taken this long for the First Sphere to feel the effects because, again, geologic time - a thousand years is a blink of an eye in this kind of time scale. But now the ancient earth-magic that had kept the Sphere’s climate temperate and its magicians in business is failing. The dragons, as beings of magic intrinsically, have been failing all along. And now it’s up to the PCs, up at level 17-20 if not higher by that point, to figure out how to fix the situation and find a new planetary god for the First Sphere before the whole Sphere burns to death.

#bulletnick #wow this got long #you're right i did want to talk about all of them though

My Eleven Questions:

If your WIP got made into a movie, which actors/actresses would you cast for your main characters?

What is a story you’d like to write, but don’t know how to yet tackle?

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Coffee, hot chocolate, or tea?

Do you believe in the death of the author?

What is a trope that needs more love?

What is your biggest inspiration?

Let’s go on a little adventure: One day, you end up in the same world as your characters--or if they’re in ours, you end up with your characters in some way, shape or form. What do you do?

If you had a magical power, what would that power be?

What is a genre that you feel is underrated? What about overrated?

Have you accomplished anything that you’re proud of?

1. Do you title your chapters? If so, how many times do you end up changing the title before it’s done? If not, what do you title them with and why?

I do sometimes! I don’t really change them at all. Depends on my mood, really.

2. List 3-5 works (books, comics, tv, movies, etc) that you know have influenced your worldbuilding and/or writing. Feel free to include why beside them!

Harry Potter Lord of the Rings Madoka Banana Fish

3. If there is a food/drink that inspires you to write, what is it and why?

No.

4. What is your writing ‘routine?’ Either to start writing or keep the momentum?

I don’t think I have much of a routine, outside of put on some music, buckle down, and get started. It’s easier if my brain is alert and rushing because everything becomes much more interesting and magical. But if real life hits, the magic sorta leaves.

5. Do you like fancasting your characters? Why or why not?

No. I find it uncomfortable, not going to lie. Can’t really put my finger on it--also, I’m just really lazy lol

6. Do you have a self-enforced daily word count? Why or why not?

No. This may sound as an excuse, especially towards some people who may think that having a self enforced word count are the absolute way to go, but I have pretty bad depression. Functioning in daily life is enough of a chore that if I placed one more expectation, especially something that is an escape and hobby first and foremost, it will just add onto daily stressors, and I would no longer have fun with it. It would become another thing if I can’t accomplish, I’ll just hold it against myself.

And plus, I’m happy with whatever I’m able to get down on paper. Whether it’s 10 words or 10,000 words, I’m just happy when I get to write. And I’m mostly satisfied with that--and that’s okay.

7. Have you accidentally put someone in your life in your story? Who? Did you regret it when you realized it?

MmmmMMMMMMMM. All of my OCs are based off of people I know in one way or another--but never in bad ways. Whether it’s just a few traits or things I admire in them and that’s about it.

But an actual person with similar names, no.

8. What is a genre you could never write and why?

Erotica. I dunno. I’m just not interested in sex as a whole--written, screen, or otherwise. Also, it’s just uncomfortable for me?? Sure, kink is cool and I’m writing something kinky to spite a certain group of writers (bc I have a Big Mad) but it’s just a “eh” (and I don’t consider it erotica because nobody really fucks on page). I’m more into intimate emotional aspects, the two best friends who are soul mate best friends, simple gestures of love, subtle gestures such as hand holding or eye contact.

Otherwise anything physical horror, such as written on screen gruesome horrible stuff. Blood and guts make me ill. Psychological? Okay, I’ll give it a shot.

9. What is your weirdest ‘writing habit’?

Is ignoring every piece of writing advice out there considered weird?

Or is “I write at 3 am for no other reason but because I can”?

Also, what’s considered weird? What’s normal to me might be weird to someone else--and that’s hard to pinpoint.

But between you and me, my weirdest writing habit is writing a cute scene in public, having to stop and take a breather and make sure I’m not like outwardly showing I’m being emotionally affected in one way or another. This also happens in private. WILL THEY KISS? I DONT KNOW, I CANT LOOK even though I’m writing this. ARE THEY HOLDING HANDS? OH GOSH OH GOSH OH NO

I’m easily embarrassed

10. Who is a character of yours you can or will never write again? Why?

So far, there’s nobody on that list.

I can write just about anybody and wish I can reuse most of them for other stories. Bailee and Lucija deserve happiness, Sage and Nyx deserve a meet cute AU.

11. List the last 3 writing accomplishments you reached. Be as detailed as you like! And remember to look back on them and feel really, really proud of yourself!!

I wrote two chapters of So Said the King and posted them

I reached over 1k words of So Said the King, and am working on chapter three

The worldbuilding for So Said the King is utterly amazing and I’m thrilled with how it’s coming out.

Zephyr.

11/11/11 Tag

I was tagged by the very cool @thatfizzyyyy. Always a pleasure.

Rules: Answer 11 Q’s, ask 11 Q’s, and then tag 11 people to answer.

1. How do you feel about writing diversity?

I think diversity is important and there’s always room for more! Main cast, background cast, etc. and in media in all it’s various forms

2. Remember that one WIP that’s unnamed? Quick give it a name!

Uhhhh, “And so we meet Again”. It’s a sequel!

3. How do you keep yourself accountable for your writing (goals, daily word counts, rewards) if at all?

I DONT AND NEED TO START DESPERATELY. I’m horrible when it comes to setting goals and sticking to them. However, I’m making yet another list of things that I’d like to accomplish for 2019 (I make one every year and usually complete the items) and writing goals will be a new addition to the list.

4. What would be a good crossover with your WIP?

Supernatural maybe. Schuyler would be an amazing hunter and would really hit it off with Sam and Dean.

5. Which of your characters do you think the fandom will misinterpret the most and why?

Maybe Miguel. He’s going to appear as an ally in the beginning, but depending on how much I use him (as he’s a side character only meant to show up a few times and still in development) he may be revealed to be the very opposite.

6. Did you eliminate any characters from your original cast? Did you add any?

Main cast? No to both. I knew what I was getting into when I started formulating this project. Though, Miguel is a side character (who may or may not end up having an important role in the future) who was added in later after I had already laid the ground work for my WIP.

7. Kill, kiss, marry with OCs whose names start with A, J, and S (or close to those letters).

Kill Alexander Lestrade as he is a minor villain. (His story is currently shelved though, poor thing.)

Kiss Jesse because he’s a generally fun guy to be around.

And marry Sky because have you seen her? Have you read her personality and been subjected to her humor? She’s my fave. She’s my girl! She’s also the “good child” in my WIP.

8. Is there anything unusual that gives you motivation?

Random day dreams. Sometimes looking at pictures will trigger some creativity.

9. What’s a cool fact about your world? Or about your characters, if there’s no fantasy/sci-fi elements?

Schuyler is ambidextrous. She can shoot with either hand/eye and throw knives expertly with either hand.

*I have a million tidbits about Sky, and am working on developing them for other characters to sprinkle throughout the story. Feel free to ask me anytime. Unfortunately, my WIP is set in modern America, so I have no world building tidbits for you for this one.

10. What was the best scene you’ve written so far?

TROD is all about making friendships and forming family bonds in the most unlikely of places. Schuyler is at the age where she’s considered to be the middle child (most of the guys are older than her and the few prospects that are around are younger). Jackson, vice president with a shared family history to Schuyler, will very quickly take a liking to Schuyler and act as her protective older brother throughout.

Their relationship is built on these small pocket moments of private discussions between just the two of them. Jackson often feels as if Schuyler is the only one he can trust and seek advice from and vice versa. I just wrote the first scene where this happens after a job goes wrong and Schuyler took initiative by helping Jackson find true north. Their relationship is going to be very interesting when all is said and done.

11. Which of your characters has surprised you the most since you started writing your WIP?

I learn something new about Schuyler almost every day it seems.

Her relationship with Jackson surprised me a lot. I knew I was going to bring background (B & C list type) characters to the fore ground and I wanted her to have meaningful relationships with each of the boys, but theirs ended up being the first to form and will end up being the strongest overall.

I tag: @sashathewriter, @push-the-draft, @alixismad, @butwhydoilikethis, @feministcalliope, @feathersandfortunes, @poder-de-las-palabras, @hazeywrites, @fangirlmo, @possiblypan-actuallyace, & @theouterdark

As well as anyone else who sees this and wants to answer some questions. My 11 to you are as follows:

1. Do you prefer to have one story to focus on at a time or do you like to work on multiple pieces at once?

2. If you could change the title of any of your previous works, what would you change it to and why?

3. About how many words can you type per minute?

4. Is there a IRL place in the world that you have yet to write about in a story, but would like to and why? (If not, where in the world do you personally want to visit?)

5. What’s a cool fact about your world? Or about your characters, if there’s no fantasy/sci-fi elements?

6. How do you keep yourself accountable for your writing (goals, daily word counts, rewards) if at all?

7. What was the last book you read? Did it inspire you to write, return to writing after a break, or write something specific when you finished?

8. What’s the last detail you remember adding to any story, character, world you created (list as many as you’d like)?

9. How many notebooks do you currently own and are using? What are they for?

10. What caused you to take your last break from writing and what brought you back to writing? (If this is too personal, than how long do you consider a “break” for writing?)

11. What are your personal writing goals for 2019?

Ok, so this is my first time posting any of my own work on Tumblr for other people to read. its just one scene from a current WIP novel. It’s still REALLY rough i am just trying to get the first draft of the entire novel done then i will go back and do massive editings for content, writing style ect ect but i wanted to be brave and put something out.

Walking in the front door of the two story house I share with my bestie, her mother and her little sister, ok share is a strong word… walking into the front door of my best friend’s house that I am currently squatting in, thats better, I starting calling out for Tori. “She isn't home” I hear from the living room, I drop my bag and my books by the front door and hop over the couch landing on the cushion next to Vivi, almost knocking the bowl of popcorn off her lap. This obnoxiously smart 12 year old, wears her blond hair in pig tails, to make her self look even younger, mostly to lure innocent bystanders into her web of deceitful cuteness in order gain sympathy or candy. I still haven't figured out if she is just working the angle she was born with, or if she is really an evil genius who brandishes her cuteness like a broadsword. Seriously it doesn't matter the situation, she can get whatever she likes from almost anyone, and if they wont give it to her right out, she will get it by any means necessary, she is ruthless and her petite frame and all around adorableness, makes people underestimate her intelligence. Which is something that I don’t know if that makes me admire her more, or if I am a little afraid of her. Probably both. Defiantly both. One time I saw her con a bunch of teenagers out of about $20 worth of pixie sticks. Do you know how many pixie sticks that is? Hundreds. Meh, mean at least she shared. She, Tori and I went on a 3 day non-stop sugar induced movie marathon. The eventual sugar crash was hard, but worth it. At least until we found out that she recorded Tori and I singing everysong in Grease, loudly and very badly while watching the movie. She hasnt put that video on social media yet, she says she wont. But I see her little evil mind saving it for it’s epic black mail potential. “Where is your wayward sister?” I question stealing a handful of popcorn. “She went for a run, something about overbearing life choices and blah blah blah, I don't know, I tune her out when she starts talking about college and responsibilities and adulting. I mean really I am 12 I don't want to hear about adulting, or choices that impact your whole life. That shit is scary.” “You have no idea kid, but watch the fucking language.” I smirked at her. “Ok so what are we doing until she gets home?” “Well, I finished all my homework for the next few days, really this stuff is too easy. So I was thinking about begging you to order a pizza,breaking out the big puppy dog eyes if I need to” She looked up at me starting to make her eyes really big. “Pizza sounds good, put the puppy dog eyes away” laughing at her antics I grabbed the computer to place the order. “ and then can we maybe binge watch some netflix. Since mom is away do you think we can watch that show with the one main character who has to be slutty or she starves… and has the awesome best friend with epic fashion sense?” “No, you are too young for that show” “But I am really old for my age, I mean you know I am already soo much smarter than anyone else my age, and most ages. So I should be able to handle more mature TV shows too.” Vivi started rambling, getting ready for a fight to watch this show. “Your humility is heart-warming really,but your mother would skin me alive. And then who would order you pizza with pineapple on it, which by the way is gross.” “It is not, but fine.. Hot hunter bros it is then.” As I finish ordering the pies Vivi queues up the show on netflix and hands me a brush, I start absent mindedly running it through her hair as we wait for our dinner. My mind doesn't focus on the tv it keeps running through the events at the parlor. I need to know who those guys where. What they know about my mother, I mean she died in childbirth, and left me alone with an alcoholic father. Or did she? Maybe there are things I don't know. My father never really talked about my mother while sober, but if he was drunk and feeling nostalgic, he would ramble about her. I could sometimes make out some of what he said in between sobs and hiccups before he passed out. He would call her his angel and how she radiated this beautiful light. I always thought that maybe her death is what drove my father mad and it was my fault she died. What if there is more to the story? Maybe she was also in whatever this mafia or gang thing is that Cole is tied up in. I should of questioned Cole before I left. I should of made her tell me what was going on, and how my mother was involved. Instead I ran. Why do I always run before thinking? About 20 minutes into the first episode I notice that it is starting to get dark out, and Tori still hasnt gotten home. I know she drives to well lite parks to run and she tries to stay safe, but I will always worry about her. She watches the news and knows what can happen, so I know she is practical. But she has never had to face any violence. She has never had to fend off an attacker, and she doesn't always realize that being practical and trying to be safe, doesn't really mean she is safe. And the pizza will be here in another 20 and I have seen that girl eat. It’s scary. Just as I am about to call her to check her ETA my phone starts to vibrate Tori’s name popping up on the screen. “Oh my god, why don't people just text, seriously who uses their phone to call anyone anymore. Don't they know they are interrupting my viewing pleasure. How rude!” Vivi grumbles, as she turn the volume on the TV up a few more notches. I can feel the annoyance radiating off of the small blond, so I grab my phone and take it into the kitchen to answer it. “Hey Tori, are you on your way home? I ordered pizza. The small blond and I have started the demon-hunting without you.” I say into the phone. “Really, one would think having the pizza first would help with the demon hunting. I mean you could use the pizza as a very effective bate to lure a poor unsuspecting demon into your trap before you spring and attack him with your no doubt alluring feminine wiles. Now is there a sign up list for demons to volunteer or do I just have to wait for you to find me?” A smooth deep and very male voice spoke over the line. “Who the fuck is this, and why do you have my friends phone.” I could feel the rage in my voice masking over the fear. “Whoa chicka calm down. My name is Murmur. Your friend was in a little car accident, she is fine, but she is staying here tonight with us” I could just hear the smug smile in this assholes voice. That just fueled my rage. Take a deep breath I try to keep my voice calm and quiet, I dont want to worry the small blond before I have to. “Oh, I am sorry, are you a medical professional calling from the hospital to inform me to come pick up my friend?” I ask, my tone dripping with sarcasm. “No? Well then maybe you should give the phone to my friend so she can tell me where to come pick her up. And I swear to god if a single hair on her head is even slightly out of place I will own your ass. Do I make myself clear you arrogant douche nozzel. Now hand her the phone!” Seriously I know life is a bitch, but today it is having puppies. This shit is ridiculous. “Douche nozzel, you know if I had feelings they might almost be hurt. I mean I am trying to do the stand up thing here. I helped rescue a damsel in distress, putting a smudge in my perfectly shiny white knight armor in the process I might add, and then I call her friend so no one worries about her. And this is the thanks I get? Harsh.” Under normal circumstances, I would find his banter amusing if not even a little charming. Today is not a normal circumstance. In fact today, all his witty banter has done is insure that any regret I may of felt about being a tad harsh is just gone. “Give Tori the phone” I growl. “No can do, cupcake. She is being seen by our Medic at the moment, and she is kinda out cold. But I am being assured she is fine and I will have her call you when she is awake. Tootles!” The line went dead, oh hell to the no. Om Sarah breath, inhale, exhale repeat as necessary. Once I am sure I am at least sort of in control of my rage, I calmly grab the phone, and call Tori’s cell. Ok I will be civil, collected, calm and I dare say courteous, so I can find out what happened, where my friend is and get her home. “Aw, sweetheart did you miss me already? Really its cute but its getting a little embarrassing.” The condescending male voice answers “WHO ARE YOU, AND WHERE IS TORI” Well, so much for calm and collected. “I told you, princess. My name is Murmur, and your friend is fine. I will personally make sure she calls you as soon as possible. And since you have no idea where I am, or she is for that matter, and I have disabled the GPS on her phone, you are just going to have to take my word for it. And although I am sure you do a very sexy impersonation of a fire breathing dragon and are so ready to storm the castle to retrieve your wayward friend here, you wouldn't know what castle to storm. So you are just SOL. Sorry Xena, no warrior princess impressions for you today, so put away the circle blade and have a seat, someone will contact you shortly.” Then the line went dead Calmly setting down my phone, so I dont throw it against a wall. I take a few deep breaths to try and get my anger under control. Breath in breath out Breath in, breath out. I start to repeat my mantra, “sun is warm grass is green, sun is warm grass is green…. Fuck this sun is hot grass is fucking dead.” Time to get some help and get shit taken care of, heading back into the living room, I wonder how ethical my favorite small blond is. “Hey, Vivi.. If someone where to turn off the GPS in a cell phone,say Tori’s for example, could you still tell me where it is, or where it was when it was last turned on?” Vivi turned towards me and raised an raising an eyebrow considered my question. “Could I? Yes, I am all knowing and my powers of intellect are indeed beyond measure, will I? Well, its unethical, an invasion of privacy and illegal, so it depends on why and what I get out of it.” “I’ll learn how to play D&D and I will play for at least 2 hours once a month.” I offer knowing how badly she wants to play on a table top and not just with her friends on line. “3 hours twice a week, Tori plays too AND I get to watch the that show with the slutty not a demon chick” she countered. “No, I would let you watch it but your mom would kill me. THen resurrect me just to off me again. But I will agree to 2 hours once a week with me and Tori, and I will take you to buy more figurines.” “Fine, no show. But 3 hours once a week and one weekend a month where we play a long mission, I mean an all nighter with junk food and a lot of caffeine.” “You mean you want to take one netflix binge night and turn it into a D&D night?” “Yes” She nods “Done” We shake on it and she grabs her laptop. “So how long will this take you and your mad hacking skills” “I will have a location before the pizza gets here, and the delivery guy just pulled up.” THe door bell rings and I go to answer the door. Once I am walking back to the living room with the boxes and a roll of paper towels to use as plates, Vivi already has the laptop open and sitting on the table. “She was at fountain head park running in circles, like a crazy person, seriously who runs around a park In Arizona in the summer. A small man made lake does not an oasis make. Still hot, still crazy. Anyway, then she left, or at least her cell phone did and the GPS was turned off in downtown phoenix. Right off central ave, in a really nice area. Looks like its right by those newish condos the ones that look like a massive castle. She probably met some hot rich guy and is off making poor life choices.” “You hacked into the GPS on Tori’s phone and got all of that in two minutes?” I am just stunned. “Ok first off its not like you asked me to hack the pentagon and get nuclear codes, honestly. But no, I didn’t hack anything, mom has us all on a family plan for our phones, and she has some parental control thingys, so I just logged in and looked at the GPS logs, then I used that with google maps and bam info. Common sense, really isn’t a super power ya know.” She grabbed the pizza boxes from me and grabbed her first slice of pineapple pizza and started picking all the pineapple off. “I also went ahead and checked her car’s GPS and emergency system thing. It was also at the park, but it logged a minor accident. The incident report says it was a minor accident no injuries, and only a little cosmetic damage to the car itself. It said owner verbally confirmed no injury and that they had someone who would take the car to get it repaired. It also noted police were not called, and that insurance would not be used because the other party was at fault and is paying for the damages out of pocket. Since the report said owner verbally confirmed I am not overly worried. Tori, isnt dumb and she is a big girl she can take care of herself.” I am not worried.” I hate to admit it, but I think she is right. I did get a call saying she was alright, and as long as I get another call in a few hours I shouldn't start panicking. She probably did find some hot guy and is making poor life choices. It isnt something she does often but it has been known to happen. Plus, she has been super stressed lately maybe it will do her some good. “Fine, if you are soo smart tell me why, for the love of god, you make me order pineapple pizza and then pick all the pineapple off?” “Because I don't like to eat the pineapple, I just want a little pineapple flavor, like pineapple essence pizza, now can we get back to supernatural? Or would you like me to get you the D&D guide, I play the 5th edition.” As we settle on the couch ready to watch a few more episodes and eat our cheesy greasy dinner of awesome, I cant help but to think about Tori and where she is and if she is ok. Most of what Vivi told me matches the story that guy with the weird name said, but its just not really clicking me for me. When I pick up my phone I see a text from a number I dont know. Unknown: Hey warrior princess, I figured you might be a little pissed off with our previous conversation, so I figured I would shoot you a message to assure you, again, that your friend is ok. I would really hate for you to tail spin into an evil plot to hunt me down and murder me. And if I am being completely honest, your cute little threats are pretty sexy, so I was hopeing for a few more of those to hold me over for the night. My god the nerve of this guy. Who the fuck talks like this? Sarah: OMG Douche nozzle, you are disgusting. But why would a text from an unknown number make me feel better about you kidnapping my friend? Unknown: Again the name is Murmur, not douche nozzle, but I will answer to mother fucker. And here, for your piece of mind and spank bank. I cant help a quick laugh as a picture comes through on my phone of a very attractive man who is doing the worse duck lips face I have ever seen in true selfie tradition. Sarah: And what exactly is that picture suppose to prove? How do I even know that is you. You probably googled selfie and just downloaded the pic of the first almost attractive person you saw. Unknown: that is a pic of me I just took #nofilter and what do you mean ALMOST attractive. I will have you know I am considered adorable by some, pretty by most and 100% fuck-able by all. But I sent the pic so if your friend isnt home by tomorrow morning, you know what to look for when you start hunting me down for the maiming. Sarah: I still dont believe its you, you could be starting me on a quest to go hurt some innocent little European model while you are at home, in your moms basement eating nachos and playing World of Warcraft after selling my friend into slavery. Unknown: Ok dollface, what will it take for you to believe that is me. And dont think for a second that I didn't notice you said I looked like a European model, seriously I am blushing over here. Sarah: send me a pic with a fork balancing on your nose. Unknown: … uh ok give me a min. I actually have to get up and find a fork. A few moments go by and my phone chimes with another message. Its a picture of the same man balancing a fork on his nose. I stifle the a laugh and the true ridiculousness of this pic, and I save it to my phone and create a contact for this guy. I need to save his number so I can make sure he gets Tori home. Kidnappy douche nozzle: Believe me now sweetness? Sarah: Well that could be anyone with a fork on their nose Kidnappy douche nozzle: Really, Really? Riddle me this batgirl why would anyone take that pic, except in this specific situation. Sarah: Fine, so the pic is you. But that doesnt mean you have my friend and she is safe or that you are bringing her home. Kidnappy douche nozzle: Well I would take a pic of your friend for you, but she is in my friends bed, and from what I have been told taking pictures of women in bed without their knowelege is frowned upon. Its just past the level of creepy I am willing to go to, even for a feisty thing like you. Now it only seems fair that since I sent you 2 pics you send me atleast one ;) Sarah: Life isnt fair, I am not sending you anything. But you will return my friend in the morning or all hell will break loose and I will kill not only you but everything you have ever even liked. Kidnappy douche nozzle: I will keep you updated on whats going on and when she is headed back home. Sarah: then you may yet survive this. Kidnappy douche nozzle: now kitten, dont make promises you arnt willing to keep.

Hi, I just spent 3 days continously watching buffy. I reached till s5 e10 and realised I couldnt go on much longer. I saw s517 and saw Angel and Buffy kiss and I needed to know. I needed to know if theyd end up together. I wanted to know if Riley would come back so I went to wikia and lo and behold. There was Spike. And Buffy. And I know that if i watched the rest of the seasons maybe he'd grow on me but knowing that in the end its not buffy and angel and that shes with Spike who I despise rn I

anon cont. “-I despise. Maybe if i’d watch the other seasons they’d grow on me. But I spoilt the show for me. They dont get together. I hate Spike. And I am distraught. Buffy doesnt even have human!Angel memories. Buffy has been through so much. She deserves so much better. They need to be together. And I just feel sad and directionless and I guess I need closure. Are there any fics you could recommend to me that will leave me with even a bit of satisfaction and closure? Please.”

First of all Anon, believe me when I say that I and many other fans share in your frustration. Now that you have looked and have been spoiled you know that Buffy and Angel have not yet received anything resembling a “happy ever after” and Spike certainly throws a wrench in our heroes love story. That being said, as a die hard BTVS and ATS fan I encourage you to keep watching as there are still some good things ahead (Although the best Buffy days are behind you IMO). And further, this may be the ramblings of a Bangel in denial but I feel that even during the Spike fiasco of S6 Angel’s place in Buffy’s heart continues to be respected as she makes references to him a few times and in Season 7 she tells her friends how she feels about him. In the finale, there is also a nod to Buffy and Angel. At the end of the day, when the show is said and done the audience knows one thing for sure, Angel and Buffy are not over.

Even in the comics there are Bangel moments, and despite her current relationship status she continues to acknowledge she has conflicting feelings for Angel (now I’m not going to lie, being a Bangel and reading the comics is pretty torturous).

To that end, I get the the crux of your question. Fic recommendations! There are literally hundreds that give our heroes a happy ending. I am going to recommend for you what are in my opinion the best of the best:

1. Since you are on Season 5, the first two I will recommend are post s5 fics (you still need to finish watching Season 5 for them to make sense though!) The first is: Phoenix Burning by Yahtzee. Many fans consider this to be one of the best Buffyverse fic ever written and I for one agree. It is Bangel but so much more. Set post s5 but hundreds of years in the future. S6/7 never happened and therefore, no Spuffy ;)

2. The next one is a heartbreaking fic from a writer who has written two of my favorite fics out there in the verse. I am recommending this one because it is closer affiliated with s5. Swan Song by @ariaadagio. I would give anything to have more fics from this writer in our fandom. She does a beautiful job capturing the beauty of Buffy and Angel. I recommend her other fic Some Say In Ice once you finish both series (you need to finish Angel as well).

3. For some pure fluffy joy I recommend Ten Observations on Being in Love with a Human by KairosImprimatur. It’s very sweet.

4. For the most realistic representation of how I think Buffy and Angel would actually get together post NFA I recommend a fic from another really great fic writer Marenfic, Intermezzo.

5. Finally, I would recommend a fic that is a WIP but which I really enjoyed, its another post NFA fic, so again I encourage you to finish your run of both shows then come and read this one! From the Ashes by Bite-or-Avoid. Its angsty, just like any good Bangel fic but it has good stuff. I found it cathartic.

I will shamelessly plug two of my fics which have a happy ending: Prom and The Work We Do. Please note all of the ratings on my fics and on the fics above as some of them are mature!

I encourage you to look at the IWRY marathon fics. If you want more recommendations you can look at my bookmarks on AO3. Happy reading and don’t give up on the shows. There are still good stuff and plenty of fic to help ease your Bangel heart when Joss won’t give our Champions what they deserve - the bastard ;).

My WIPs

Thanks for the tag @sky-is-torn ! Here’s a list of my current WIPs:

Jegulus collab with curlyy-hair-dont-care: This fic is inspired by my ramble in the tags in the reblog of this post by ceilu and a brainstorm with Ri to expand on my plot bunny after she graciously agreed to do this collab with me ❤️ I’m going to be doing origami for this one but also help out with writing where needed as best as I can 😬

Quidditch/Flying art rec list: Ok so I was searching for a particular artwork that flintandfuss was looking for of Draco leaning out a window while Harry stood on a broom outside (which I still haven’t found 😭) and came across some great art of this trope in the process. I have all the links compiled, I just need... to write the descriptions... haha (sidenote, I compile art and fics based on my own unusual categories too and that’s a forever WIP cos im always finding new ones to add to my spreadsheets but I may post some of those as well)

Exploding snap fic recs 🙃

Desi!Harry HCs: While I was making this, I got too into one HC and ended up writing this fic haha but I do want to continue making a proper desi!Harry HC list, probably with some french!Draco thrown in cos I just love bilingual stuff. Idk if I’ll post it tho 🤔

Drarry microfic inspired playlist: This is another one I’m not sure if I’ll post but rn I’m having fun working on a Drarry playlist of Hindi songs based off some microfic prompts

Christmas collab with vukovich and fantalf: Ik it’s still just July haha but I’ve just told them my idea first so that we can be prepared to set time aside for this closer to Christmas

Lokius fanart reclist(s): courtesy of a conversation with @inspiration-in-process 😂 Thank you for enabling me Anna XD I'm super excited to compile this/these 🙌🏼

Podfics: I have plans... Adding it here so I can bring myself to stop putting it off cos of nerves

I'm not sure who's alr done this so feel free to ignore if you have but I tag @samyistrying @graymatters @dragontamerdame @onbeinganangel @dynazty @sitp-recs if you'd like to, no pressure! And anyone else who'd like to do this as well ☺️

We can do things now!

Dev Grant

We announced it a few days ago over on our twitter. But we have been awarded with the Unreal Dev Grant from Epic Games!

This means that a considerable amount of pressure has been taken off financially, which means we can get the ball rolling with things (mainly music and story illustrations) much earlier than we anticipated even before the crowdfunding starts!

Here’s the official announcement from Epic : https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/epic-games-awards-over-200-000-in-new-unreal-dev-grants

Upcoming New Demo + Kickstarter Campaign

Currently a new demo is being prepared to coincide with our upcoming Kickstarter campaign. We’re still doing a lot of preliminary stuff regarding the KS campaign but the demo should be ready in a week or two.

Hopefully the demo will show our intentions when it comes to the game direction. It will showcase our current production capability with a fully voiced multi-role mission, and a slightly revised air to air mission which you should be familiar with if you’ve played the latest alpha. The next demo contain a higher degree of polish relative to the current demo at least (0.2.10c) and introduces a lot of QoL changes to gameplay. I’ll detail some of those on the current post and upcoming ones too. Be on the lookout!

Now, on to actual dev post.

Story/Campaign

The story for the campaign is outlined, we have discussed and have an idea on what we want to do with it. I’m not going to discuss the story too much with these dev logs but we have a lot of interesting things on our pipeline that you might appreciate. And of course the upcoming demo will reflect some of the stuff we’re trying to do for the campaign.

Vegetation

I’ve always felt like the vegetation and ground details was rather lackluster in the game. Mainly it’s due to a lack of skill on my end. But considering the amount of detail I need for trees at flight level, it was much easier than i thought. Complete with LODs and imposters for trees that are further away.

I’m very happy with how they turned out and at this moment there is no performance impact in terms of frame rate to the current build so far.

Cockpit Revision

Major texture improvements has been brought to all the cockpits (all 2 of them) to the upcoming aircraft. I’m not the best texture artist around but hopefully you can appreciate the effort I’ve put into the cockpits of these glorious war machines.

Hangar

I’ve always intended to replace the hangar in the current demo with something else due to the current one being so lackluster that I’ve decided to scrap the entire thing. So here are some screenshots of what I’m currently trying to achieve with the new hangar. Keep in mind these pictures are still WIP and most objects are still untextured and unfinished.

That’s it for now!

Again, thank you everyone for the support so far! While I may not answer every single email or tumblr asks. I still read all of them!

Feel free to reach me on : [email protected]

Questions and Answers

i-i promise this time please dont hurt me

Thank you for the kind words everyone!

In my opinion that would severly limit the “fast paced dogfighting” aspect of the game.

For me, its more or less the latter due to it mostly based on stuff that exists IRL. But there are some fictional designs already in the pipeline and for those I just do a basic outline sketch and see what kind of things i come up as I 3D model it.

It will be an arcade-style gameplay.

A few weeks. I’d like to get it out before end of September. Look forward to it!

Yes, that is definitely the goal I’m currently going towards.

Hey guys! I’m not dead yet don’t worry.

First, I’m so sorry it took so long for me to post another dev post. There’s a lot being worked on in the background that I can’t really show. Mainly story related and how the world in Project Wingman works.

However, most of those things are out of the way now so you will definitely see more development related stuff coming now that I can get back to working on the game. And I must say it feels great to be able to post things like these again.

This was actually an idea I had a while ago, though I can’t promise if It will be implemented within reasonable time.

For me it takes around 5-10 hours to model a single aircraft. But this excludes rigging, UV mapping, texturing, and polishing. With all those it could probably add up to around 30-50 hours to create an aircraft. Highly dependent on its complexity.

Unfortunately no plans as of now. You can however shoot them down in the future. Does that count? :)

Oh yes, absolutely. If you’re reading this you’ve probably already read it above. Please look forward to this!

We’ll have to see. It was mostly an experiment so it does not have a high degree of polish yet (AKA right now it only works on giant flat surfaces). I will polish up the mechanic further as the game goes forward.

No plans for Mac version at the moment. Sorry.

To be honest I don’t think so, at that point it’s pretty much a completely different game that requires different set of design principles which most already clashes with how Project Wingman is currently being built. It may be something I’ll explore for a future game, but as for now a fast paced arcade flight game is the current development roadmap.

I should really get a FAQ going haha.

I have a preliminary aircraft list at the moment. I’ll share those in the future. Regarding your requestion, the MiG-31and the Su-27 would be the closest thing we have in the preliminary aircraft list. We’ll have to see about the rest ;)

And yes, I’ll see what I can do about alternate skins.

Will do! It’s currently being considered.

The F-14 will return eventually. Thanks for the kind workds!

Thank you! Your words motivate me even further to see this game through to completion!

Will do, I’ll make sure to have that added by the next update.

Whew, that was a long post.

If you’re here, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read the entire thing!

Until next time!
