19. What's one pairing you want to explore next year?
I want to explore actually writing Zvone Pograjc/Primož Roglič. Incomprehensible in its entirety to any non-cycling fans but to cycling fans it's Primož's childhood ski jumping trainer who is also his neighbor who is also the father of his childhood best friend. Who was also the best man at his wedding. I have more intel on this. Anyway, it's a pairing for people sick in the head because of the alarmingly nonzero chance that Zvone held him as a baby (but people who follow me here follow me for specific reasons).
Igor Mošte interviewing Primož Roglič and Zvone Pograjc for Skok v Šport, 2005
Primož Roglič and Zvone Pograjc on Skok v Šport, 2010
Robert Hrgota lifts Primož Roglič at a fundraiser for the Botrstvo v Športu program as Zvone Pograjc looks on, 2023
ANYWAYS you already know all this Rin I just need to evangelize.
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
OR
Send me a writing ask!

the 2024 grid as kpop girl group/female soloist songs*
Max - Shut Down by blackpink - the impetus for this post, there could never be any doubt. Shout out @drivestraight @earthdoves
Checo - Good Morning by Yena - I...don't have a good explanation for this one, other than to remind you all that this man puts iguanas on his head.
Charles - Lovesick Girls by blackpink - LISTEN, listen, serial monogamist Charles Leclerc, perpetual romantic Charles Leclerc, always-the-bridesmaid Charles Leclerc....he understands this song, I know it in my bones (as I know in my bones that he will NOT always be the bridesmaid, to be clear)
Carlos - Icy by Itzy - contract negotiation anthem
Lando - Palette by IU ft G-Dragon - a song about being 25 and growing into yourself but knowing you're still growing (okay yes he's not 25 yet but he would be under the traditional Korean age system)
Oscar - SHOOT! by Itzy - laidback vibe/basketball reference/he WILL shoot his shot in a race
George - Anywhere But Home by Seulgi - this one is a little but opaque but I think of George as someone who consistently tries to build himself anew, in a way I find fascinating
Lewis - I Am the Best by 2NE1 - self-explanatory, really
Fernando - 28 Reasons by Seulgi - taking pleasure in being the villain (he is saying "I kiss your brother" to Esteban about Lance...in my mind)
Lance - BBIBBI by IU - Lance is excellent at keeping boundaries with the press/public
Yuki - Never Stop Me by (G)I-dle - something about defiance of expectations in the face of a public that doesn't believe in you
Dan - Forever Young by blackpink
Hulk - 24 Hours by Itzy - this is about him dragging that Haas in to Q3 last year (sorry I'm very tired this is the last one and that's the best I can do)
KMag - As If It's Your Last by blackpink - but specifically Coachella 2019 when Rosie starts is by screaming "I want everyone to dance LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST" kind of threateningly
Esteban - Better Things by Aespa - Alpine, fix the car please
Pierre - Fate by (G)I-dle - sometimes it's just like that
Alex - Uh-Oh by (G)I-dle - this is about him showing everyone what he could do when he came back to the grid from 2022 on, but it's also specifically about him saying how he's only acknowledged as a British driver if he does well at Silverstone
Logan - In My Dreams by Red Velvet - :( sorry
Guanyu - I Am by Ive - he is so freaking cool
Valtteri - Impurities by Le Sserafim - Valtteri is willing to lay bare the difficult things about being an F1 driver in away that I find really admirable....plus the nudity
BONUS: Off the Record by Ive is incredibly Piarles coded, fight me
*this is by no means definitive, it is based entirely on my whims and limited kpop knowledge (largely 3rd-4th gen) and also I finished it at like 3 am so I may have forgotten something obvious
#did i give my favorite driver my favorite kpop song? yes#it's my list that's my right#long post#trying to do this semi-seriously and not just make it be mean jokes about song titles was so difficult#this was a truly batshit pointless exercise that may make sense to no one but me asjlkfjakl;f

The City of Towers is the most holy city for the followers of Our Silent Mother, with many of the religion's nunneries and monasteries* located there. The whole area has long considered holy ground, so since the third century onward it's been forbidden for there to be men within the city.
This was actually law since the founding of the city shortly before the passing of Our Silent Mother, but it's only been enforced since the late third century. The spell was cast in 257 AM, and the four centuries of worship since has reinforced it to the point where it's as strong as laws of nature (or stronger, as any decent magic user can find ways to bend or break those.)
But those who have never visited The City of Towers often misunderstand the nature of the edict. It's not "men may not enter the city", like there's a border guard checking your passport at the city wall**.
No, the specific wording and meaning of the rule is that "no one within the city may be a man". So if you enter the city as a man, you'll stop being one for the duration of your visit.
The effect is usually temporary, though the longer you stay in the city, the longer it takes to wear off. Many sisters of the assorted orders in the city have taken trips away from it for many months without any gender reversion effects.
Also, it's a common misunderstanding that the city will always turn men into women: not actually true! There are many non-binary residents of the city, and the similarly any non-binary visitors will not be affected by the city's rule. Whether the city turns any given male visitor into a woman or an enby for the duration of their stay is up to the individual and while it's not necessarily predictable, it's never truly surprising.
Also, the rule has no effect on members of monogendered races like Dragons and (ironically) lizardmen. Even though they, as a race, all use he/him pronouns and reproductive anatomy similar to AMAB humans, they won't be turned into "lizard women", as such a thing doesn't exist. (and obviously monogendered races that are "female", like mermaids and skydoves***, will have no issues)
In any case, male visitors to the city need not worry about their longterm gender. Short visits wear off within hours, and the city is very welcoming to visitors unexperienced with being a woman. It is considered somewhat gauche**** to walk around in public in "male" clothing, but there are several charities in the city who will provide appropriate clothing to any visitors for a small donation.
For those who have strict religious, dietary, or personal gender history reasons to need to avoid the effects of the towns Gender Edict, the small settlement of Forever's Landing is located a short distance outside the city (and spell's) limits, and has many inns and pubs for male members of your group to hang out while the rest visit the holy city*****.
But enjoy your stay at the City of Towers. May Our Silent Mother watch over and protect you.
* the distinction between monasteries and nunneries in a city where there are no men is a complex one that has caused endless theological argument. After seven centuries of debate, the most certain answer anyone has been able to come up with is "nunnery is easier to spell"
** naturally, as the City of Towers has no walls. The loving embrace of Our Silent Mother is open to all. And no enemy has been foolish enough to lay siege to the city since the One Day War of 317 AM.
*** you may think this name is redundant, but earthdoves would disagree, if any had survived the Wing Wars. The skydoves maintain their name in recognition of their history of triumph over their distant cousins.
**** There's no law against male clothing, of course, but it's considered somewhat rude and antisocial. You may not be allowed into a temple to pray, or a tavern may not serve you. And you can forget about being admitted into any of the cities nightclubs****** or polite society mixers.
***** for reasons understood only to them, Forever's Landing is very popular with lizardmen. Even though the city's law has no effect on them, they prefer to stay outside of it when possible. Although the city was founded by humans, there has always been a small lizardmen population within the city, even during both of the wars (as The City of Towers and nearby environs were declared neutral and this was accepted and respected by all three sides*******)
****** yes, even drag nightclubs. The City naturally has a thriving drag scene. It's long been known in The Union that The City of Towers is the ultimate destination for all top-class drag kings.
******* those three sides being: humans (and allied races), lizardmen (and allied races), and the moon********.
******** this isn't a footnote about the moon*********, just a realization that these footnotes are getting very hard to manage. Perhaps I should have used superscript numbers instead of asterisks? It's entirely possible I have mixed up the footnotes. I'm doing this on mobile so it's hard to check.
********* the moon lost the first great war, and won the second, which helped lead to the lasting human-lizardman peace.

12, 20, 46!
How does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?
Receiving feedback and support is a MAJOR motivator for me—2 or 3 good comments carry me better than anything even if they’re somewhat critical. I don’t need widespread approval; I know my style isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But it helps.
No feedback whatsoever kind of sucks—makes me feel like my work didn’t do anything, not even eliciting a strong dislike LOL
Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?
I use ephemeral I wouldn’t say OFTEN but noticeably frequently throughout my work. I play around often with perceptions of space (distortion of room size and distance as a function of sense memory). I constantly describe light and its motion and quality. Color is often described in a way that animates it as well (I hope).
Themes I love are absolution (or lack thereof), forgiveness (and lack thereof), meaninglessness and meaning-making, and the apparent partial lack of agency any family has in what it becomes—although I’d like to say for this last one that a possible better way to word this is the tragic near-miss, where everything almost went right.
How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)
Hard to describe in the above terms but an ao3 commenter described my writing as “lived in” and as a very carefully assembled puzzle which I think works—I do absurd amounts of research for some fic only for it to come through in tiny mundane details. “Realism” is less important to me than a writing’s breathing and livability, even when my style grows somewhat difficult and disconcerting/confusing to read.
Ask me a fic question!

rabbit heart
pairing: valtteri bottas/zhou guanyu
rating: t
words: 9,715
summary: valtteri makes guanyu a cup of coffee and guanyu makes valtteri tea. or: the art of ritual and taking your time. or: drinks as a metaphor for love.
Valtteri thinks before he answers. “Yes,” he starts, turning his cup in his fingers to give his hands something to do, “of course, it’s more subtle than coffee. But the taste is still good and it’s…” he struggles for words for a moment. “It’s soothing, I think. Comforting. The tea and the—” he gestures to the tray “—the ritual of it.”
Guanyu hums. “Yes, it’s peaceful, isn’t it? I need to do it more often.”
Valtteri reaches out to rub the ear of the stone rabbit. “Well, now you can.” Guanyu smiles. The kettle clicks.
this is a secret santa gift for sweet @earthdoves and was beta'd by the effervescent @starmotions 💖
