4 18 38? :)

4 How do you choose which fics to write?

im not sure i choose? i think its like... if i can get a solid outline for the whole fic, ill try it out. i dont rlly try to write fic that i think will turn out Super super long, bc i MUCH prefer oneshots, but if i think ive got a solid oneshot ill try it. theres a lot of VERY brief unfinished onehsots in my notes app

18 Do you enjoy research?  Which fic of yours required the most research?

...i love research but only super stupid research. this weekend i wrote abt a guy with a metal hand snapping to punctuate smth he was saying and thought "wait, CAN you snap with a metal hand?" and spent like 20 minutes researching it. the answer was "it depends on how articulate the fingers are and also it wont make a real snapping noise, itll just be metal hitting metal." i ignored this information and kept the scene as is. the man's other hand was normal flesh and blood and i could have switched to have him snap with his other hand at any point in time

38 What is your most self-indulgent posted story?

i feel like any good writing is self indulgent? thats what makes it fun! all your writing should be self indulgent!

...that said. im not sure if this counts for self-indulgence, but i do remember thinking of the idea for "if it rhymes, it's true, but i hate poetry" and deciding "no, i wont write that, that requires too much emotional honesty of me"

and then, yknow. i wrote it anyway, several months later

grif's surgery but just a little more... obvious?

horde prime: ah yes. the epitome of true love.

“What are you doing up? It’s late.”  “Went to piss. Your door was shut.”  “You didn’t have to come find me.”  Buck shrugs. “I was worried,” he says, simply.  Eddie’s heart flutters, just a little bit, and he snuggles even further into Buck’s heat, wondering if this is how moths feel when they seek out light. “I was doing research.”  “That’s my thing.”  “I can know stuff, too,” he says, pinching the inside of Buck’s wrist where it rests on his knee. His hands are so big, only a little smaller than Eddie’s. “I have to pay dues by next Friday.”  Buck hums. “Want me to go with you?” he asks, reaching up to run his fingers through Eddie’s hair. Eddie melts, the tightness in his shoulders disappearing as if it were never there at all, and slouches further against Buck’s side.  “She does like you better than me.”  Buck’s chuckles shake Eddie’s whole body. “Everybody does.” He brushes a tangle out of Eddie’s hair. “Come back to bed.”  Eddie’s lashes flitter, but he keeps them closed. “I don’t know if I can sleep,” he says, whisper-soft. He’s tired, achy; sleep weighs thick in his bones, but he’s too wound to rest. “My brain won’t turn off.”  Humming, Buck rests his cheek on top Eddie’s head and leans back against the couch, bringing Eddie with him. “That’s okay,” he says, turning his head just enough to huff his stinky yawn right in Eddie’s face. Eddie’s so exhausted he can’t even muster any irritation. “I’ll sit with you till you can.”

Hello Zoe, your mirobotter fic was a paradigm shift and a work of genius!! I haven't stopped thinking about it all weekend!! In it you mentioned that there was an article about the 2017 draft class talking about each other -- is this a real thing we can behold with our own hands and eyes?

i would've sworn i was referencing Very Real Things but i tried hunting around for articles with at least a quote from each of them talking about each other and apparently! there are none!! i would have bet actual money that there was at least ONE article like this written by mike heika and posted to nhl dot com forward slash stars, and yet.

the closest i found, as far as official articles where they're kind of talking about each other, is this one from this past october where all three of them are more just talking about The Team and Doing What It Takes To Win. this one from when otter & robo were about to start their first pro season with the texas stars (and miro was already more established) focuses more on otter & robo and sees them talking a little bit about the draft class.

' “I like to call myself a top forward prospect, Miro is one of the best defensemen in the league already, so that obviously panned out. And then they got a top goalie prospect,” Robertson said. “I think it was a pretty succesful draft that year. In the next couple years, I want to be able to have it where people mention how that draft changed the franchise.” “I think we want to make our mark on the Stars and maybe be remembered as one of the better drafts the Stars have had in a while,” Oettinger added. “It would be cool to have me and (Robertson) both make the team at some point soon and be representing that draft class and having people look back and say, ‘Wow, that was a great draft for the Stars.'” '

which is cool!! but there's no miro there, he is simply haunting the narrative for jake & jason as the ghost of hockey future. and then every article about the 2017 draft class is more just .......... people from the front office and/or various coaches talking about them, rather than them talking about themselves. the thing is, i know they've all talked about their draft class — even miro!! but those quotes must just be confined to media availabilities, or other random solo interviews.

this is going to eat away at me now so i will. probably. chip away at hunting down quotes they've given on each other and compiling them somewhere, if only so i can have it as a reference point!

& in the meantime i'd like to issue a formal apology for gaslighting both myself & you into believing there was a '2017 draftees on 2017 draftees' article out there

thinking about how my dad graduated high school in 1984 and went to college in boston, and he used to stay up late to snag free tickets on the college radio station to basement shows with like. the cars and fuckin. john gorka and shit. and how he used to hang out at coffee shops and bars and listen to tracy chapman play right before she made it big.

thinking about steve and eddie visiting nancy at emerson and catching a coffee shop open mic. thinking about how fast car would probably hit them both like a truck, for similar and also different reasons.

just thinking.

the fact that dandelion was able to become vaguely conversational in a completely different language within less than a month is an attestment to his skill in memory and academic intelligence. not that he needs another attestment, but it is one

being a professional actor is so fun bc you get paid to lie and then after you are done lying for 4 hours straight people come up to you and are like "omg i love you so much, you are so talented" and its like thank you finally someone appreciates all the wikiholes i go down

i have an ancient oc named flight to the sun, homeward descent, but ive recently realized descent might be a kinda sacrilegious term to a society whos religion is all about ascending... so now i need to come up with an excuse for that being her name (read tags for more context if u want lol)

what if i said my genuine opinion of "rom the vacuous spider" is that she's actually not like, peaceful because she's stupid, she's just extremely fucking chill bc she's so enlightened. like she WILL defend herself but really she just wants to hide in her cool lake world and hide dark rituals

Me: I'd like to double-check the origins of a funny folk mask.

My Research: Odd, that doesn't sound like it's on topic for the projects you're thinking of doing... how about the Okame mask, then?

Me: No, not the one I had in mind, but I'll listen to be polite.

My Research: While you did learn one possible origin associated with a piece of preserved architecture from the year 1227, the mirthful laughing woman is thought to ward off evil, and may have other names associated with luck and happiness, though in some Kyogen dramas the mask was used to indicate an "ugly" woman-- Me: "Shikome!!" I know that word!

My Research: Oh, do you? That's some obscure vocabulary--

Me: That's what Yushiro called Nezuko!! See?

My Research: I should know better than to answer your questions.

Me: If Nezuko sees all humans as her family, is this how Yushiro sees all women who aren't Tamayo? Oh wait, wait, hang on--

Me: "Today as well, Tamayo-sama's concentrating face is beautiful"

My Research: That's not how Taisho era diary script would have looked.

Me: Oh? Do tell? How should I make my silly fanart more accurate?

My Research: Go away, I'm done talking to you.

Just started So This is Ever After and if dumb idiots pinning while being dumb idiots was a romance genre Arek and Matt would get the crown
