Harry Potter/Genshin Impact Crossover Fun🎉
for @kiraisastay my beta reader for the big fat Eldritch AU awhile back! :)
“…a genshin/Harry Potter crossover where reader (still fem) comes from genshin (so she has a vision) and tries to fit in at Hogwarts (would love for it to be set around the Goblet Of Fire so the hp characters in that age start maturing and actually understand what happens around them and aren't little kids , plus, y'know, YULE BALL), would also like for the reader to have a more stoic/emotionless personality with tragic past (so like having scars y'knowww) cuz it makes character building a lot more juicy ahah, but you can write it however you want tho!! (this can be funnier to write if you're feeling a lot creative)”
Tumblr media
UGH sorry i took forever! im rlly bad at estimating time...
I hope this is a fun read at least, and thanks for much for taking on that eldritch monster fic awhile back lol

You’re so fucking happy your Cryo Vision came with you.
You knew you were in a different country, one you definitely had never been to before, but you couldn’t figure out for the life of you where it was at first
Your first guess was Fontaine, but the robes and strange overuse of catalyst weapons (actually, only catalyst weapons??) began to convince you otherwise real quick,
Fontaine was just the closest country you could compare it to
yeah so obviously by the time u realized you shouldn't be waving a sword around, it was too late lmao, u scared the shit out of the potions shopkeeper and had to make a hasty exit
bc for some reason any other weapon than a catalyst is shamed here?? which makes no sense to you, as it seems like their “magic” here could just as easily be channeled into different weapons/items??
u guess not having monsters to randomly fight everytime u just wanna take a walk outside makes for a pretty peaceful world, and specifically this country ”England” or the “United Kingdom”
u had taken a week or so to re-orient yourself to this new world, how only a certain society knew about their magic, how there were no gods here, at least not any u could easily interact with, and that most people your age would be in school still???
while u could choose to pursue higher education or specialize in Sumeru’s Akademiya, basic schooling was still provided in every country in Teyvat up until about 15 years old
but at this point u were willing to do what it took to blend into this world, and u didnt want anyone to be asking how old u were/why u werent in school when you wandered around, so u went to Hogwarts
It also proved to be a good way to acquaint urself with the world/its magic and give u a place to better excuse any social or magical mistakes
But needless to say, u struggled, u had to constantly find some workaround for “magic” from the wands/catalysts in classes
and luckily they took u being a transfer student pretty smoothly, as u were just in time for the “Triwizard Tournament” to be announced and other schools were coming to participate, u easily got accepted in
and the only one who batted an eye at it was the weird old Headmaster, who u already suspected knew more abt u than he was letting on (Dumbledore seemed to have eyes everywhere the more u learned, which made u more suspicious of him too)
you'd been sorted into Slytherin, along with the Russian magical students, (Durmstrang?)
of which you had absolutely no frame of reference for how bad that was, other than being accused of literally being from the Abyss 💀
while the rest of the student body treated u with the basic contempt u learned all Slytherins just seemed to kind of get all the time, ur own house was a little more confusing when it came to you
some were curious abt all the scars, the strange glowing snowflake gem that u concealed on ur hip, what ur country was like and what the magic school over there was like (thank fuck for ur poker face and insane lying skills that made it believable)
(there was absolutely a rumor abt u pulling a sword on Filch at some point, u neither denied nor supported it)
the other half of the slytherins were all uptight about u possibly being a “Muggleborn” and sneered at u every chance they got (some weird blond kid a year or 2 below you??)
or they outright ignored u
tbh u didn't really get much genuine favor between Slytherins just being Slytherins and ur own reputation/cold disposition until Professor Snape saw how good u were at potions a month into this insanity
(it was just basic alchemy? nearly everyone, especially Vision-users, knew how to do it back home? why was it so special here?? u had this kind of question a lot in this world over most things, like the “muggles dont know abt magic” thing, it seem like more trouble than its worth.)
U both got along in the same way a cold-demeanor father bonds with his carbon copy cold-demeanor daughter lol
in which he invited u for tea sometimes out of polite extra teaching for “ur future plans of being a potion master, like myself”
which okay?? u were better than most ur age at potions bc of alchemy (which u learned is taught at higher levels of potion mastery) and its not like you've figured out how to get back to ur world anytime soon
so u just roll with that being ur “future career” for now, it makes the old emo professor happy so u figure why not
And its the first scrap of favor you’ve found here so it works
Tho u did complain at Snape for picking on Gryffindors, saying “ur rlly not helping that Slytherin reputation for tall dark and evil here”
He proceeded to make u clean and reorganize his potion stores for that lol
(Tho he did start to lighten up the more u picked on him abt it, the poor kid with huge round glasses followed you with his huge green eyes for weeks, he seems to be the only one who's really realized ur the one convincing Snape to mellow out)
U begin researching information (thanks to Snape) in the forbidden part of the library abt different worlds/time travel, anything thatd put u close to possibly getting back home
Or, to be honest, a portal would be better, bc youd like to come back here sometimes,
Its not like u have family back home (not any who you'd want to visit), mostly just a few good friends who'd be worried abt u (Childe misses his sparring partner for sure)
Which then leads u to noticing that boy with the black hair and big round glasses (was it smth like,,, harold sculptor? Atp that seems like a feasible name to you bc in this world parents rlly were cruel abt naming their kid “feathery” or smth wild)
Harold and two others, one with fluffy long hair, and the other a redhead,
Were attempting to “spy” on u from behind bookshelves or at tables seated near the forbidden section
U saw them learn the times u came there and how they made sure to match them (tho it seems the redhead got bored easily and begged to eat instead)
You'd actually managed to make friends with some Durmstrang friends in the meantime too
And by that u mean Viktor Krum mostly
Ppl were constantly obsessed with him and he'd managed to escape up the astronomy tower to get some peace and quiet,
Only to run into u reading away, and he'd heard abt ur reputation, and wanted to befriend u
U two got along rlly well, lots of peaceful silences, and chill convos, esp since u guys had some stuff in common
Mostly how ur both foreign to Hogwarts/this country and adjusting still
Anyway that is to say, Viktor teased u abt the ducklings following u around everywhere thinking they were sneaky
And this was a routine u got used to, until it was time for the tournament
You hadnt bothered to put ur name in, u didnt feel like risking ur life for no reason afterall
So needless to say u were pissed when rumors went around abt u putting Harol- Harry's name in the goblet
(u finally learned his name, apparently he's famous for not dying? As a baby?? A powerful tyrant evil wizard wanted to kill him as a baby??? Just,, why)
Not only that but then he was obligated to be in the tournament???
U knew there was smth insane abt this school, bringing back this crazy tournament in the first place, somehow getting Harry's name in the goblet,
but u didn't think they were batshit crazy.
(Dumbledore is not helping his case in your eyes, esp as u suspect he’s got Snape involved in his BS too somehow…)
So needless to say you were going to fix this mess since these seasoned “wizard adults” weren't 😒
You snuck into the Great Hall using a high level alchemy invisibility amulet, and used ur Cryo vision to extinguish the Goblet of Fire 💀
It reset the game, and luckily they were able to resubmit the champions to the Triwizard Tournament and hide away the Goblet before it got tampered with again
Lol u got Harry out of it, and it wasnt until later in the library that u get cornered by the Gryffindor fourth year himself
He admits to seeing u under his invisibilty cloak that night and thanks you for getting him out of that hell, poor kid looks so grateful 😭
But regardless of that, he insists u tell him abt the ice spell u used, how u used it wandless, with no incantation, etc.
You just gave him a small smile (his big green eyes look even more shocked behind the glasses, what, was that old professor right? do u rlly not smile that much?) and tell him he owes u one
He agrees and u go on ur way to the forbidden section
(U dont explain the ice, afterall, who would believe him? You werent even that much older, and only “master wizards” could do what u did)
After that, Harry starts to follow u around a lot more,
much to the annoyance of his redhead friend (Rodrick? Rocky? smth with a R-) and the absolute admiration of the younger girl with big hair
the champions start the first trial, and u help Viktor out with a plan to defeat the dragon and get the egg in one piece (u had lots of experience with monsters after all, and Viktor and Snape, who couldn't keep his big nose out of your business, were simultaneously disturbed and yet not surprised by this information)
it works flawlessly, and that's when you notice the new DA teacher acting suspicious
as the champions gear up for the 2nd trial, u help Viktor try to figure out the egg’s secrets,
Both Harry and Hermione have taken to interrupting ur library research time (u finally learned her name, but not the redhead, he seemed a bit rude tbh so u don't care to know)
after brainstorming (well more like talking at the brick wall that was Snape) with the old potions professor over tea gossip time again, u finally figure out how to get the egg open without screaming, and tell Viktor
Who thanks u by taking u to the Yule Ball, but u only manage the first dance before u get absorbed in the food and the cool decor, and u also convince him to gossip with u in the corner too
(u do appreciate having a reason to dress up at least, as you attempt to imitate the Tsaritsa herself with this dress)
U notice further on into the night that Hermione ran out looking upset, and ur “girl’s girl” instinct kicks in, (regardless of ur neutrality for her, u lie to urself) and follow her outside to comfort her
u talk, and tho ur cold demanour did intimidate her a little, after she realized u were genuinely trying to help her, she took u up on the offer, and asked if u two could be friends since she’s “surrounded by stupid Gryffindor boys all the time”
u agreed amused, and convinced her to join Viktor and u in ur gossip session, which Harry (after humiliating himself on the dance floor), joined in later as well
(You may or may not have iced the floor secretly under the redhead’s and the equally annoying prissy Slytherin blonde’s feet, sending them sprawling on top of each other, so neither would come bother u four)
Over the next week you hear from Hermione’s researching/studying sessions with you that Ron did apologize to her, of which u advised her to get revenge on him anyway lmao
Harry at one point came groaning and complaining to you abt Cedric bothering him abt the egg problem, and u went ahead and gave it to him
Finally the next task was here, something abt rescuing smth underwater that mattered to each of the champions
u were immediately on ur guard when Dumbledore called u and 3 other seemingly random ppl to ur office (but u began to connect the dots after realizing one of them was the little sister of the Fontai- French Champion)
only to deflect the spell that would've knocked u out, and instead pretend to be knocked out
u obv kept ur Vision on u at all times, as always, and realized what was happening as the teachers levitated u all out to the lake
Snape snapped about being the one in charge of you, (and lowkey told u he knew u were awake, did he sound a little,, proud?? no, not Snape surely of all ppl)
Viktor did end up fishing you out, which he said u “looked like a very unhappy drenched old tom cat” while swimming to shore, (u awkwardly pat him on the back for thinking ur the best part of Hogwarts, and then smacked him for getting u kidnapped to go into a freezing lake)
and u also ended up helping Viktor rescue the other girl left behind, and froze some of the mermaids’ tails in the water for their trouble
Fleur was so grateful that she came to hunt you (and Viktor too at the time) for helping her and her sister that she came to thank u two again while at the library
which then led to her sometimes hanging around ur table at the library (everyone avoids it like the plague initially bc of you, but now youve got a gaggle of wizards rotating out all the time, like the younger years Harry/Hermione/Ron, Viktor, and now Fleur)
by the time the third trial rolls around, youve taken to bullying the prissy blonde brat a year below you to keep him from not only bothering Harry and Hermione, but also ur own peace and quiet
The other Slytherins are beginning to warm up to you, or at least not actively ignore you, since you’ve been hanging around Viktor Krum, along with gaining favor from Snape more obviously (he’d plopped a singular towel in ur lap after getting out of the lake, and u might as well have “Snape’s Favorite” written across ur forehead for all that means)
(also some of them may or may not find u roasting the annoying blonde bully kid amusing too)
it isn't until u see the creepy retired Aura (or whatever they call their knights) DA professor milling about the castle more, nearer the Gryffindor tower, that you begin to warn Harry to spread the word among his little lion club to not travel alone, esp in the evenings
(u don't like how his weird rolling blue eye looks thru you, it reminds u of Dumbledore)
by the time the third trial is finally announced, you have ur sights set on that weird old man, and end up following him to his classroom at one point,
in which he cracks open a rattling trunk, tosses some food in, and seems to have definitely stolen what you assume to be the Triwizard trophy
he casts a spell on it, and you put on that same invisibiltiy amulet from alchemy to better follow him, and watch him sneak into Dumbledore’s office to return the trophy
(You break the “portkey” spell you find on it)
(you also leave a note behind on the headmaster’s desk to look into a trunk in the new DA professor’s classroom storage, and to be more careful hiring the next one.)
Harry somehow gets sucked into the maze you find out, and you end up sneaking in to save him, using your sword and Cryo Vision to battle him out
(finally, Archons, you didnt realize how much you'd miss fighting monsters)
Aurors descend upon Hogwarts, only just after the trial ends, and Viktor wins (you trained him too well for him to not, and may or may not have viciously sparred with him a little too much for him to not be a little afraid of the consequences of losing after you helped him so much lol)
Just as Harry is taken in by Dumbledore for questioning of how he got trapped in the maze, he runs back to nearly squeeze the life out of you in a hug, he tells you thanks for helping him again (and forced u to promise to teach him sword fighting or “ice magic”)
Then, surprisingly, the entirety of Durmstrang (and some Slytherins??) haul you up into the air with Viktor to celebrate his victory
(You can see Snape snickering at ur misery in the air)
Viktor and Fleur stay penpals, and the “golden trio” (more like “gryffindor triplets”) sticks around your library table
and you think you could start to get used to this, and Harry, Hermione, and Snape had gotten you a Yule/winter gift
(what’s Christmas. and why is everyone obsessed with decorating trees??)
…that is until Hermione looks over your shoulder one day at your usual reading table, and points to a book you’ve chosen for research,
saying “if you need to make a portal somewhere, that’s the book you should be looking in.”
i hope you liked it!! and that it wasn't too much of a clusterfuck/chaos that was barely readable 😅
again, thanks for being patient with me, and here's finally ur payment for dealing with my ass lmao
Happy late new year!!
Safe Travels Kirarisastay,

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks for the tag @all-my-worlds-a-stage (and sorry for only getting back to you so late, but, you know, ideas had to be dwelled upon, etc etc etc)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
14 - could have been less if I had been a a more responsible human being with more impulse control, could be more if I wasn't such a goddamn perfectionist, sigh.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
332,695 (because my projects usually escalate way too quickly, sorry not sorry)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Officially, Tatort - Tatort Ludwigshafen to be specific. Currently peering over the edge for Münster and Wien. And I had a huge obsession with the MCU and The Witcher and Sherlock before, and still have half a novel based on The Night Manager up on my drive somewhere. And then there was also that missing scene from House of Cards that started it all on AO3 (but it's buried beneath a bunch of Lena Odenthal content now, thankfully).
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Sonne, See und Sterne: The summer holiday fanfic that I wrote throughout December and January (... sounds pretty normal imo) for Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern and that I still like to read from time to time to dive back into that vibe :')
A Scarred Sunrise: My debut fanfic on ao3, the infamous House of Cards oneshot that probably only got this many kudos because it's not part of a German niche fandom :'D
The Hand Is a Servant of the Heart: The very first Lena/Johanna fic that I published, yet another missing/adapted scene from canon (aka from one of the more traumatising Ludwigshafen episodes that needed some sort of ... band-aid to be fixed, lol).
Das Nest: My very first fluff & smut Lena/Johanna fic that didn't fall into the abyss of trauma and tragedy but instead escalated into a Love Actually rip-off by the end (and I still adore it for that).
Liens de cuir et mains de soie: A dom/sub/switching kinda character study/crossover between Lena Odenthal and Esther Baumann set mostly in France, inspired by the lovely but lowkey deranged idea by @disappointingsalad at the start and improved by her very own contribution at the end - thank you so much! :)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, because I love each and every one of them from the bottom of my heart!!! <3 (Also, the only reason that it takes long-ish for me to reply to some of them is that I cannot stop grinning and jumping up and down out of pure joy every single time I re-read them to reply properly, so, sorry not sorry, but you people make my day with those and I save them in an extra outlook folder because of that <3)
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Since I'm usually rather fond of happy endings, I tend to resolve most of the tension. "Zerrissene Fäden" would be a possible candidate though. Maybe also "I've Come To Burn Your Kingdom Down" or "A Scarred Sunrise". Because of the uncertainty that still simmers through towards the end, but idk.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Well, since I'm a sucker for happy endings, they're all quite happy so far. But the happiest ... huh. Maybe "Das Nest". Or "Sonne, See und Sterne". Or "Liens de cuir et mains de soie". I can't decide on this either, apparently, oops :'D
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Thankfully, no. But that's one of the few advantages of a small German fandom without great shipping wars, I suppose :'D
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Yes. Been there, done that, many kinds of that, in fact. Anything from the sweet vanilla kind (looking at all those 'found family' tropes) over the fast and messy ONS kind to the dom/sub-themed and/or throuple 'well that escalated quickly' kind. Each has its own perks. And its challenges (looking at the classic wlw problem of overusing "she" etc). But I still love delving into those headcanons on a regular (and mildly irresponsible) basis ;)
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I wouldn't call it far-fetched since both fandoms are Tatort-related, but the sub/dom-themed Ludwigshafen/Saarbrücken crossover up on ao3 is definitely ... some kind of crazy. And then there are also all those Wien / Münster / Bremen ideas which haven't quite left the nest that @all-my-worlds-a-stage and I have so far built for them. Look forward to those ;) Also, in non-Tatort terms, there was this one Geralt/Loki fanfic I started years ago but I'm ... not even sure I'd find that cursed document again at present :'D
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'd know of it (niche fandoms strikes again).
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope (niche fandoms strikes again).
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, with @disappointingsalad. And I'm currently working on some other ideas that require more than my last two braincells, in this case with the help of @all-my-worlds-a-stage ;)
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Given my ao3 history, the case seems pretty clear - definitely Lena Odenthal/Johanna Stern. Honorable mentions go out to Sherlock/John, Geralt/Jaskier and Jamie/Brienne. And to Wilhelmine Klemm as well, because whoever she ends up with is so goddamn lucky to have her (and I'm here for each and everyone of them).
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Oh God. Most of them, I suppose, given the lethal combination of adhd and perfectionism that rule my brain? :'D But the first thing that came to mind was the band AU I started a couple of months ago. Because the movie playing in my mind just at the thought of it is already so perfect and I don't have any idea how to get all of those scenes written down in exactly that way.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Probably dialogue? The amount of raw dialogue I've written as a kick-off for some vague idea is ... quite telling. In many ways.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Introspection. Whenever it comes to the thoughts of characters, my own mind is just ... blank. No idea what they could be feeling or thinking in this very moment, or rather, no idea how to phrase it without putting it into dialogue. Yeah, I know, just what a non-TV writer needs to work properly :'D
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Been there, done that, probably wouldn't do it again, at least not in the way I did it then.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Officially, House of Cards. Unofficially, probably Sherlock? Or the MCU? That was ... ages ago though.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
You CANNOT ask a mother which of her children she- well. Wait a minute. I think I'll throw "Von Schwertglanz und Schattengewächsen" in there, the medieval Tatort Ludwigshafen AU I started this February. Because this is such a long-ass project that has accompanied me through some pretty ... interesting months and I worked so many inspirations and easter eggs into it. And I'm continuing to do that now, in this very moment, because I watched a very gruesome Tatort Wien episode (thx for the rec @carlomainzinger ;_;) that had just the right amount of protective & soft found family vibes and raw & unfiltered force to thwart me back into this setting (not as hard as Bibi was thwarted around her own flat though, uargh). So, yeah, uh, look forward to that, the wait might be over soon ;)
Well. That was fun. Throwing this over to @carlomainzinger @mordsfesch @krejong @rheingoldweg12a @occhi-verdi-come-il-mare @disappointingsalad @karin-in-action @khalaris @cornchrunchie and literally anyone else who wants to join in, no pressure though!

20 Questions for Fic Writers
I was tagged by the wonderful @wormdebut to do this, so let's go
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
29 (when exactly did that happen?!)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
303.103
3. What fandoms do you write for?
only Stranger Things atm
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. Cravin'
2. Ain't No Sin To Be Glad You're Alive
3. Ain't It Good To Know (That You've Got A Friend)
4. You Make Me Feel Like I’m High And Driving
5. You & I (And My Dirty Mind)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Oh God, yes! comments always make me lose my mind. Like, someone actually taking the time to tell me what they liked about my writing?? holy shit, that's something i can't get over
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i don't think there is one with an angsty ending tbh
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
i've never not ended on a happy note but probably my personal favourite is the ending of Where The Sun Still Shines
8. Do you get hate on fics?
haven't so far. all my experiences have been nothing but lovely and i'm so very grateful for that
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
do i? yeah, i do. i never thought i'd be comfortable or even enjoying writing smut until it just happened. Eddie and Steve are my dirty little playthings and i love them being nasty 😏
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
actually, my very first steddie fic Real Love Is Forever is a Stanger Things x The Crow crossover that started as a prompt on tt by the wonderful Jessi Lee - but other than that, no
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i'm aware of
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No but i thought about maybe doing a German translation myself, just for fun.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I haven't but i find it fascinating how two people can create beautiful art together (Brooke and Az, i'm looking at you with heart eyes)
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Steddie always and forever
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Weight Of The World is still missing its third and final chapter and not having finished that one drives me nuts but i just can't seem to be able to pick up on it
16. What are your writing strengths?
I am the most chaotic writer. i jump back and forth between scenes like a maniac. when inspiration hits, i'll just dive right in without ever thinking about plot lines or mapping out the 'greater picture' beforehand and yet, i always manage to bring it all together in the end (at least i hope so).
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
repetitions and the overuse of certain expressions. english isn't my first language and sometimes the lack of vocabulary for things i want to describe and write about is just frustrating. (thank fuck for OneLook Thesaurus but still)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
as a reader, I love it. Especially if it's little things in a language i understand. Maybe I'll let Eddie be fluent in German or have Steve whip out some very limited French or Portuguese in the future 😆
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Stranger Things/Steddie (anything that might've existed before Feb23 is between me and the moon)
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
I love them all, they're my perfectly imperfect little brain babies. i guess if i had to choose, it would be We Are The Lifeless Stars
ooooh, i enjoyed that very much! Thank You Wormy 🖤🖤🖤
i never know who to tag but i'll give it a go
@novemberthorne @thorniest-rose @morningberriesao3 @steddiecameraroll @aringofsalt @museumgiftshoperaser
if you've already been tagged or just don't want to do it - feel free to ignore 😇

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Tagged by @crown-of-winterthorne, thank you friend!!! 🧡🧡🫶🏻
1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 33 total! i've got 8 for jjba, 25 for haikyuu
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 473,497 🤯🤯🤯
3. What fandoms do you write for? currently only jjba, i don't anticipate anything else for a long time since my major interests tend to last for years
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? unsurprisingly they're all ushiten 😭 i won't link them but: "i'm a house with no windows" (200k friends-to-lovers), "shuffle" (fake dating/only one bed tropes), "fascinating facts about geckos" (high school teachers au), "on display" (nsfw oneshot), and "morning routine" (my very first fic ever posted :')) aw)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? i try to!!!! sometimes i get really behind (like i am right now ugh) and that's either because i'm busy or i can't properly put my gratitude into words 😔 but i think i get to most of them eventually. i don't really reply to the ushiten ones anymore, but they still mean a lot to me.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? i.. don't think i have any?? i love writing angst but i really cannot handle sad endings.. i'm a sappy little romance-obsessed fool, i fear i'm incapable of anything but sweet and fulfilling endings
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? i mean it's gotta be "i'm a house with no windows".... they literally grew up together and got married and then visited their hometown as middle-aged men.. i don't know if i can out-do that. but if we're talking jjba then probably my most recent diego fic, "ritz to the rubble"
8. Do you get hate on fics? i have before LMAO, nothing too horrible but honestly i just shrug it off. i like my writing and i know lots of other people do too so i can't be bothered
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? ummmmmm yes.. i write a lot of it HFDSKLHGKLS.. i won't detail that here bc this isn't a nsfw blog but my ao3 speaks for itself.
10. Do you write crossovers? nope! the idea hasn't ever even crossed my mind
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? i feel like.. i remember someone telling me that one of my ushiten fics was on wattpad at one point but i never saw it myself and that was years ago so ??? MAYBE?? i truly don't know
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? i couldn't find evidence of it but i remember someone requesting to translate a fic of mine to chinese?? and i had no problem with it but AGAIN LOL these things happened in like 2016 or 2017 so it's been a hot minute and my memory is garbage
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? not really, i attempted to collab with a couple friends in the past but it really didn't work out very well.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? diego and me (im kidding. kind of.), i mean currently it's dinopants and dinoballs. i love diejoni as well but the other two reeeeaaally hit that sweet spot for me. i like ushiten in a way that's like... aww.. those were my boys and now they're grown up and moved out ?? they are cute but they aren't My Guys anymore
15. What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? UGH I HAD a dinopants university au that i started over a year ago but i ended up using one of the previously written scenes for my recent fic so i doubt i'd ever finish the original one. for the most part i finish what i start, though.
16. What are your writing strengths? DIALOGUE !!! at least to me, anyway. i think i'm really good at getting into a character's head and analyzing them and how they'd handle social situations, which is funny bc i have trash social skills. i fucking love character analysis in general
17. What are your writing weaknesses? i think i tend to overuse words sometimes... maybe lean too heavily into dialogue.. i'm always always always trying to get better, so in a way i think i look at everything as a weakness that i'm constantly working to improve
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? i've tossed in little fragments of Italian when i write gyro but other than that i don't think i'd personally do it.
19. First fandom you wrote for? realistically? naruto 💀 my original old-ass clunky desktop had several word docs of deidara fic, i'm like 99% sure. too bad limewire and heaps of viruses killed the damn thing
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? atm i think it's gotta be extra hot, well stirred, light foam :')) i was so iffy about it while writing but i think it's such a perfect balance of funny and sexy and i'm quite proud of it. it would make sense to say a fic from a while ago but i don't like my writing from back then.. i just think i've gotten so so so much better
IM TAGGINGGG @reclusiverisottonero @swallowed-teeth @hammerofspace @penny-lane-123 @phvntom-limbs but no pressure, lovingly patting y'all on the head regardless 🧡

20 Questions for fic Writers!
tagged by @spotsandsocks @jesuisici33 thank you 💖💖
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
81 so far, and always working on more haha
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
481,097
3. What fandoms do you write for?
currently only 911, but I did write mcu and spn and if inspiration strikes might go back (kinda missing sambucky tbh, might need to write something for them soon haha)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
(four out of these are buddie, last one is my first ever sambucky fic that's still somehow up there lol) 1. For a holiday (and forevermore) 2. I can't love you any more (than I do now) 3. There’s no way that it’s not going there (with the way that we’re looking at each other) 4. I'd marry you with paper rings 5. "You should smile more"
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! always love to thank everyone for reading, and appreciate that they took the time to comment <3
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
generally angst is not particularly my thing, and there are always happy endings in mine lol - but around the lightning arc I wrote a few angsty-ish fics, and I guess these two might count? Fine and don't know what I'd do if your tomorrow never came
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
like all of them have happy endings haha - but i'd say the holiday fic -For a holiday (and forevermore) - might be the happiest?? (or just satisfying after the slow burn and them being fake dating oblivious idiots haha)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not really, I did get like two not so nice comments ever (one even very recently, and I'm in a place where it hit harder than the previous one lol but it's fine) but generally I don't, my comments are filled with love and I appreciate that so much <3
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do now lmao - it's the very sappy kind with lots of feelings - other than that, I'm still trying out new stuff haha
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I don't - there's one that I'm not sure if it counts but I did write a mcu with netflix marvel shows crossover bc I'm dying to see Jessica Jones interact with Bucky lol - nothing crazy tho, just them lowkey trauma bonding - but other than that, no, not really writing crossovers, idk, haven't tried any yet haha
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
don't think so
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
nope
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
got two requests but their ideas were so not my thing, so no, I haven't idk if i'd be good at co-writing but if we vibe and the idea is good I won't say no to trying haha
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
gotta say buddie, they took over my brain like no ship ever before
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
the 5+1 nicknames fic - something there is just not working and I want to rewrite the whole thing but can't get around to it - this and one other fic have been postponed since like january, don't know if I'll get back to them tho i want to :(
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I'm pretty good with dialogue and feelings and in smut I'm good at making it soft and sweet but also hot and horny at the same time haha and usually can write characters so that they don't feel too ooc (I think? that's the feedback i often get, idk lol)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
overusing the same words over and over again (but like, synonyms don't hit the same lol), probably way too many adverbs, and I'm not great with descriptions of characters or places etc and trying to work on that haha
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
feels awkward - a word here and there is fine, but whole conversations both in reading and writing feels awkward and out of place idk (I think I wrote a whole line in one fic and it's so bad haha)
19. First fandom you wrote for?
when it comes to shows, spn - destiel before that, unfortunately, was rpf and 1d but we don't talk about that
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
it's between the possessive smut and the car smut tbh lol I love both so much (possessive maybe a bit more tho? just a tiny bit haha - but gonna link both here lol)
I could get lost in the feelings (just say that you belong to me)
baby, you drive me wild

fic ask game: ★ (Under The Cover Of Darkness) ✎ ↻ (If I Can Make Your Heart My Home + RWRB)
hope you have a great 2024, love ya so much! ✧˚ ༘ ⋆。˚
★ what was the scene you most wanted to write in (Under The Cover Of Darkness) ? what was the hardest scene to write?
I think the scene I most wanted to write was when Blaine encounters Kurt's superhero persona. I mean Blaine was a bit of a hard core fanboy/nerd coming face to face with something out of his comic book stash. It had to be awesome and an out of body sort of experience for Blaine when it hits him what really is happening.
I don't know if it was a particular scene that was hard to write - but I there are so many great superhero Klaine fics out there I was struggling a lot in general to try to find an original take on it for mine. Trying to figure out Kurt's superpowers and his alter ego/persona was tough too - it was hard to decide. Figuring out how to meld a comic within the story was tough too.
So glad you liked the fic!
*****
✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?
Oh gosh . . I might have to ask some of you about this. . 😂 I think ( please anyone correct me) things that definitely crop up in my writing:
Overuse of the ellipsis 😂
Use of hyperlinks to photos, references to things I refer to in writing
I think fairly realistic dialogue sprinkled with a nice dash of humor.
Liberal use of angst when necessary. . .maybe even sometimes when not necessary.
*******
↻ pick a fic and a different ship and I’ll tell you how I’d rewrite it - (If I Can Make Your Heart My Home + RWRB)
Aside from the fact that I do have a RWRB/ If I Can Make Your Heart My Home crossover sort of fic semi planned in my head once the main story is done . . . ( oh yeah Henry and Alex still living in that brownstone in Brooklyn and somehow running into Blaine and Kurt and all of them becoming fast friends)
But back to a IICMYHMH rewrite:
I think Henry would definitely be in Blaine's position - trying to stay true to his passion and love for music ( perhaps as a pianist as opposed to Blaine's cellist) - trying to distance himself from Mary and her demands of him staying true to the Mountchristen-Windsor legacy of classical musicians. Henry refusing to stay in London under his grandmother's thumb , weighed down by playing classical pieces at the London Philharmonic where Mary is the artistic director. So he escapes off to NYC where he bunks with his best mate, Pez and lives under his father's last name - Fox. Henry lives happily as a session musician by day and writing his own music and playing a series of bars and clubs in the evening.
Enter, Alex Claremont-Diaz ( who will be taking Kurt's role in this rewrite) - and he is miserable. He's working in this pretentious restaurant run by a trust fund baby by the name of Hunter ( who is a total ass). It's not why he left Texas to go to the Culinary Institute of America all the way in New York. Alex misses home , and his sister and his best friend/ex girlfriend Nora and he's probably anxiety eating/baking more conchas than he should. But making his abuela's recipes always calmed him so he'd do that often.
One particularly stressful day at work, Alex decides to blow off a little steam and grab a drink at a new local piano bar - where he gets spotted by our dear Henry who is working that evening. Poor Alex is too busy drowning his stress in his whisky to see the pianist, but falls in love with his playing
And of course as the story would go, runs into him again another night at another bar
And so the story starts . . 🥰
******
Thank you for the asks, @datshitrandom! Love ya! Happy New Year!

20 Questions for fic Writers!
tagged by @wikiangela thank you <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
9 askaoksoaskoaks
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
166,674
3. What fandoms do you write for?
911 and 5sos.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
i won't let nobody hurt you (Buck picking up a sick Chris from school) what if one of these days i go and change your name (Buck is wearing Eddie's turnout and Eddie REALLY wants to marry him) for everything we are (everything we’ve been) (aka the trauma fic, buddie talking it all out) in case you don't live forever (buddie trapped in a collapsed building) this surprise ending i’m depending on (could be the story of another us) (Eddie pinning for 3k words)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to. But it usually takes me a minute because I'm a very awkward human and it's worse when it's about something I made, so I need to think answers through.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
this surprise ending i’m depending on (could be the story of another us) she doesn't have a happy ending at all, it's just unrequited love, Buck is dating and Eddie has feelings about it. I wrote it trying to process my own feelings about the cemetery, it has no dialogue, it's quite angsty I think.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
probably what if one of these days i go and change your name but I'm bad at doing happy stuff oskaoskoaksoaksas
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not really
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do not. I mean, I don't publish it, there's a wip that I kinda needed the context around the sex and I tried my hand on it, but I don't think that's ever seeing the light of day.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I don't.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Probably not, I don't think so.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
my brain said percabeth so im gonna go with that aoskoaskasok but buddie and stydia are up there too.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
the Buck gets struck by lightning but Eddie is still working dispatch fic. I love that concept but I can't make my vision work.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Emotionally heavy angst oskaoksaskoas I think I'm really good at digging in where it hurts and making you feel the emotional tension around a situation
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I think I overuse the name of the characters sometimes, and I recently caught the same sentence in a similar context in like, 4 of my fics and I was like, not happy about it oaskoaksoakss and I don't write linearly, so that usually bites me in the ass later when I'm trying to connect the dots, because usually when I have an idea I have no idea where it starts, I just type things out and pray for the best, sometimes I need to compromise on stuff I wish I didn't or extend the context to make it better, but it's not always that I can make the context work, so that's a problem that leaves me editing a fic a bit too much. Oh, I'm also terrible at writing a relationship once it's established. No matter the couple, they get together I blank, the turnout fic is legitimately a miracle sokasokoskaosk
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
honestly, right now I think it's awkward, at least for me in my own writing, I tried to make Eddie speak some Spanish and I was cringing the whole way through. I do have a Brazilian oc in a wip that's never gonna see the light of that and she speaks some Portuguese but that's because I had to over the plot.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
the 100 I think, it might've been a stranger thing fic no one ever read, but I wrote it in a notebook and I don't remember when I did it, I didn't even remember writing it until I found it a few months ago, so I don't really know if it was before or after the 100 ones.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
it's between the trauma fic and the soau fic. The trauma fic just because of the way I really tried to make it as close to the show as possible and I'm really proud of the way I did that and the feedback I got on it is really insane, and she's just my baby. And the soau fic even if she doesn't have a happy ending, I really like the way I did the whole no dialogue thing, before writing that I would never say I could just write a fic that's all around the feelings in a situation, and I really like what I did there.
I don't know who's been tagged but I'm gonna tag my usual crowd, no pressure: @eddiebabygirldiaz @housewifebuck @honestlydarkprincess @try-set-me-on-fire @cowboy-buck @watchyourbuck @disasterbuckdiaz @captain-hen

I hate how the nutso make it hard to criticize Steven Universe
How can we expect creators to learn from mistakes  if its garbled in hateful death threats?
Newsflash: None of us is free from the garbage ideas put in us by our upbringing in human society !
But that’s why its even more important we should be able to listen and talk without fear
Steven Universe is full of ableism and nasty takes on race and classism , I personally found it quite hurtful and was disappointed. I’m pretty sure even the creators realize how much they fucked up with Bismuth (but didn’t realize how gross it is to have Connie regain her vision in a way that given how Steven’s healing powers works implies he thought it must be a flaw in need of fixing given its based on his ideas of what the “original condition” is as seen with his bear) 
(All writers: STOP OVERUSING DISABILITY AS SYMBOLISM!)
And I have stated how awful Peridot’s disability is handled (and apparently many people on this website defending it don’t know dwarfism is a recognized disability that actually is given accommadation, and the accomadations her prosthetics provided helped with her similar condition, but these prosthetics were framed as part of the EVIL EMPIE)
But Steven Universe isn’t the most evil thing ever... its just bad science fiction drawing uncritically on older science fiction mostly by abled, male writers.
Even POC and LGBT+ people forget “the classics” shouldn’t be aped uncritically, and removing things from context like the tropes for Human Zoo just leads to an uncomfortable, offensive mess. (Also for the love of god, put all episode titles in at least five search engines beforehand.)
And the classism with showing the lower gems actually dimwitted...yeah. First mistake of Science Fiction; if wanting an allegory and not just a thought experiment, DO NOT make the oppression based on truth. This happens all the time in stories with robots.
Still though....I can understand people losing the ability to assume the creators can’t participate in good faith after the pathetic denial of making a joke about Greg being inbred in the Uncle Grandpa crossover. (They claimed Garnet just meant he was weird. Like, yeah, no. ) I can’t say anything about the Concrete fiasco but I do hope one day they are willing to give more info in a way that doesn’t give personal information crazed fans could use to track someone down.
Listen, I understand how it feels to be betrayed by media
You subconciously highlight all the flaws, even those you in the past found charming  so you won’t be sucked back in and hurt again.
but you can’t let that consume you. 
Try to find things that inspire joy rather than wallowing in thoughts that hurt you

20 questions game!
thanks for the tag @displayheartcode ~
tagging @eskildit @ghosthorse @injustspring and whomstever else
How many works do you have on AO3?
119! but i also used to have a livejournal and three different ff.net accounts so....there's definitely a lot more floating around out there.............
2. What's your total AO3 words count?
598,242
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently only Lockwood & Co., but I used to write a lot of Check, Please! back in the day.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
lol they're all OMGCP. like a handprint on my heart (2,880 kudos), i'll see you with your laughter lines (2 412 kudos), until your father's at the table (1 702), smaller than dust on this map (1 222), Blue-Eyed Jack (1 051)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
yes! i want people to know how much I appreciate their feedback, and i enjoy interacting with the community. if i didn't, i wouldn't publish my fic i would just hoard it for myself haha
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
hmmmmm well i do like to kill main characters for the angst so probably either rage, rage against the dying of the light (lockwood fic written I think right after Whispering Skull came out? god what a cheesy title) or anything for one more hour of light (written for the check please heartbreak 2017 fest)
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
i tend towards happy endings in fic so that's a lot of them lol. maybe like a handprint on my heart?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
i get occassionally rude comments on ao3 itself but never anything really bad. i used to get quite a few nasty anons on here though. some people will REALLY go out of their way to tell you exactly why your writing is cringe.
9. Do you write smut. If so what kind?
i did during my stint in the check, please! fandom but i don't really write it anymore. i would definitely call my past smut messy (in many ways).
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
i like to do crossover AUs -- harry potter aus, hunger games aus, etc. -- but I cannot remember the last time I did a proper crossover. it might've been back in my twilight days, if ever.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i'm aware of! i honestly haven't even heard of fic stealing since the days of ff.net but i guess it's not surprising it's still rampant
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes! at least one in russian, i want to say another in mandarin. i would have to go back and find them, and some might be gone.
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
not fully cowritten, but @ghosthorse and i like to plot out stories together. we have a couple original stories half-baked in google docs from when we were living in different states and got REALLY bored at work.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
my ships change with the tides. i'm a pretty big sucker for locklyle, though, and zimbits. i tend towards rare-pairs and non-canon pairings though.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
every WIP i've ever started lol. but i would like to get back to for it's better to burn out than to fade out of sight (fruits basket) though i doubt i will.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I tend to capture the voices of characters decently well. I love writing dialogue and banter.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
EVERYTHING ELSE HAHAHAHAHHA (crying). I've been told my writing is very cringy and I tend to agree. I struggle with plot and pacing, I don't spend enough time on setting or building up to important scenes/moments, I almost never edit before I post, I'm very bad about contradicting myself between chapters or creating plot holes, I overuse adjectives and adverbs and commas and em-dashes and semicolons, I love a run-on sentence, I misuse big words, and I have a tendency to rely too heavily on the same couple of phrases -- e.g. taken aback, testament to, gave them pause, blood ran cold, face grew hot, etc.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I generally don't do it, but if you do, run it by a native speaker first.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
First wrote for Harry Potter or Bartimaeus, first published for Twilight. (Okay not QUITE accurate. I technically published HP fic but on my own shitty HTML website. My dad wouldn't let me join any fic site because I was too young, but he saw it as a great chance to get my to learn HTML. It was called "Visions of Red and Gold" and I posted my shitty fanfiction and mine and my friends' fanart.) This was the image on the home page that you had to select to get into the site:
Tumblr media
Yikes!
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
oh this is hard. i'm currently very fond of Jessica Lockwood’s Home for Misfit Ghost Hunters, it's been a delight to work on. but my all-time fave is probably until your father's at the table. it was incredibly cathartic to write.

Hazformers Theory: I Think Husk & Alastor Might Actually Be Older Than Blitzwing...
[Note: do NOT reblog without my permission. also reading this post is optional, meaning no one has to read this post at all if they don’t want to. ] 
first of all, love Blitzy-Blitzwing’s Hazformers and I am still reading the chapters, and I’m still on one of them at the moment, and will catch up on the new one when I get to it....
(also this is just a theory, and not one has to take it seriously...)
but anyway, I’m not sure this will be canon to the story or even brought up in the art.....but I think that both Husk and Alastor, might be much older than Blitzwing....
like he could of been a sparkling when Husk or Alastor had kicked the bucket.
my theory on this, has to do with what century it is in the TFA Universe, when Optimus and his team that is made up of Ratchet, Prowl, Bumblebee and Bulkhead....all wake up in the 22nd Century, as that is when TFA takes place....well technically later on when Optimus and his team finally wake up from their stasis, and Decepticons start to show up on Earth....well Megatron was already there, but I mean the Other Decepticons...
this Crossover/Hazformers Theory, would also include 
my TFA-Fan Headcanon/Theory:
The Year Was 2057 When Sumdac Found Megatron....
Isaac Sumdac found Megatron's head in the year 2057 in the 21st century and it was in the year 2107 in the 22nd Century that Optimus Prime and his team woke up from their stasis.
and if Sari's 8th birthday was on 2107, that would mean her year of birth (and the same year Megatron went through the budding.)
that would possibly be 2099, and the Great War between The Autobots and Decepticons might of started around 10 million years ago but year that happen who knows.
but if the Ficto-Earth in Transformers Animated takes place in 2057 and then 2107, I guess that would make sense if it really is the 22nd Century in the show.
so while in the start of the first episode of TFA, when Optimus and his team found the Allspark, it was still the 21st century on Earth and even when they ended up on Earth (along with Megatron), it was still the 21st century.
and if time passes differently in Hell in both the Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss,
then they might not know it had became the 22nd Century, well not Overlords or other Sinner Demons....
Charlie’s Bubble Butt of a Dad, perhaps keeps that info secret just for the fun of it.....
but anyway, it is possible that the much older Autobots and Decepticons, were much younger during the centuries that both Husk and Alastor were born and died in.....and Blitzwing along with other younger Mechs, Femme and Nonbinary Cybertronians, were perhaps not born yet until somewhere around almost close to the end of the 21st Century, and while Blitzwing became young adult mech on the same ship that Megatron was on, and would end up not returning to...because Megatron would end up on Earth and being found by Isaac Sumdac...
anyway I believe that Blitzwing, might actually be much younger than Husk and Alastor, and isn’t older than them at all, I know it is a weird theory....
but I believe it could be true, I mean in the TFA show, it starts out in the 21st century I think, but then later on in a time skip, it becomes the 22nd century.
I’m still gonna view Megatron as Sari’s Mom, because there is no way that her sparkling self had just magically appeared in Sumdac’s lab, which might be the same lab that Megatron was in, and his head must of went through the budding stage, because one of the other ways that Cybertronians can have sparklings/hatchlings/baby protoforms, is by Asexual Reproduction. 
just in case....I’m adding the “mature audiences only” and “not for kids” tags for this....     
Cybetronians don’t have to misuse Cybertron’s living metal to make protoforms....because if Autobots overuse it and misuse the living metal from the canyons of Cybertron, they are both hurting the Planet and Primus.
anyway all fans, well maybe not all, but some....
know that Megatron is not only Sari’s second Dad, but also her Mom.
Sari got her Human DNA from her human Dad, Professor Isaac Sumdac,
but she got her Cybertronian CNA from her Cybertronian Dad, Megatron.
it still be funny and cute if Blitzwing ever found this out, his Random side might decide to throw Megatron a very late sparkling shower. XD
anyway, Alastor and Husk died in the 20th Century, so if Blitzwing was in theory born around in the early 21st century, then even if he did grow from just a cute adorable hatchling/sparkling through out the many years in the 21st century....
he might of died around in the 22nd Century, while those two died in the 20th Century.
also when it does get to Mother’s Day, I’m so going to do a drawing with Sari and Megatron....Megatron can’t deny that he is Sari’s Mom.
I’m not sure what else to say about this theory, that has to do with Blitzwing being a lot younger than Husk and Alastor, but given that the century in the TFA does start out in 21st century possibly, and then went to 22nd century in the time skip after Optimus’s Team and Megatron ended up on Earth....
well, and possibly making Sari’s birthday being 2099...
well Sari’s Dad did bring up the word “22nd Century” and it’s possible that the timeline in the show does at first start out in the 21st century, possibly in 2057 which would be the same year that Isaac finds Megatron.
and at some point, Megatron’s offline self (a Cybertronian can be offline or online when it happens....) goes through the budding stage, and Sparkling Sari ends up being born and is a few minutes later after being born, Isaac finds her in his lab (which is also the same lab that Megatron is in.)
he touches the liquid metal newborn, gets a shock and gets knockout cold, then wakes up to find that the liquid metal body was replaced with a newborn baby human, who would become his daughter and who he will end up naming Sari.
also the whole Cybetronians having sparklings/protoforms by Asexual Reproduction, is in fact Canon.
and this can possibly happen when the Cybertronian is either online or offline....so I know it wont happen, but I’m speaking as a “what-if” type talk, to explain the Cybertronian Asexual Reproduction....
even if Blitzwing is in Hell, and like the same one that Husk and Alastor are in....
there could be a chance that his original body, that is still in the mortal world....
could end up going through the budding stage, which would of course make Blitzwing a “Mom” or you could say “Dad”.....
another chance could be that another human ends up touching the sparkling and it ends up scanning the human’s DNA and becoming like Sari.
but in theory, even if that did happen, it might take a VERY long time for the budding stage to start, I mean it clearly did for Megatron when he ended up budding and having Sari....
he ended up on Earth possibly in the year 2057, and didn’t end up having Sari until 2099....
so in theory, for some cases of Cybertronians going through the budding stage, it could take many years for it to happen.
 and well of course since this also talks about the whole Family thing with Megatron, Isaac and Sari, I had to add them into the tags...                           
 but this will still be about Blitzwing being much younger than both Husk and Alastor, which I still think it could be true....but even if it is just a theory, I’m not sure it would be confirmed.
but if they ever talk about the years and centuries they were born, and maybe the year and centuries they died....
then after Husk and Alastor hear about the century that Blitzwing was born in and that he died somewhere in the 22nd Century, they would both end up figuring out that they are indeed much older than Blitzwing.
which of course this is just a Crossover/Hazformers theory, and well for all I know the century in the Crossover version of Earth that is in Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss/Transformers Animated, might be slightly different than the one where in the TFA show, it goes from the 21s century and then time skips to the 22nd century.
I’m going to go play Fallout 4 for a little bit, then I’m going to watch a Transformers Movie and then after that, I’m going to read Becoming a Demon.
 I will sign back on maybe later tonight or tomorrow...
I’m still gonna try to draw another ship drawing between TFA-Perceptor and Amethyst from Steven Universe, and like I said before in that first crossover drawing, those two are married in that drawing, that is why Percy is wearing that wedding ring.....when I can I will draw a second ship drawing of those two.
maybe I should try to draw a ship drawing of Husk x Blitzwing....
I guess I will think about it....
but seriously, I don’t know what else to say about the theory that has to do with Blitzwing turning out to be much younger than Alastor and Husk...
you can thank the whole it starting out as the 21s century in TFA, but then the time skip going to the 22nd century, for that theory popping into my head.
I mean it might be possible that in the Transformers Animated, it starts out as the 21st century, when the Allspark is found and then when Megatron and Optimus’s Team end up on Earth.....and then it time skips to the 22nd Century, which would be when Optimus’s Team is brought out of stasis, and when Sari accidentally brings Megatron back to life.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Taken from the fabulous @ashleyfanfic
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
In my current account, 101. I really wish I'd broken down FLAMES differently; maybe I'd get more feedback/interest if I had. But right now, I have 100 WWE fics and one AEW.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
1,961,702. (Hopefully I'll hit 2 million by the end of the year.)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Mostly WWE right now. I had another AEW House of Black one started, so hopefully I'll finish that someday. I miss writing book-based fic, but I need to find another series I really love.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Flames, The Arrangement, Lass Ride, Pack Mentality, Queens of the Underground. (Flames: Bonus Scenes was technically in third, but it's really just a collection of random additional scenes.)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always try to. I figure if someone's nice enough to take the time to leave a comment, I can take the time to reply.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I have no clue. Everyone defines "angst" a bit differently. I guess I'd say either THE WIND BETWEEN THE STARS or UNFIENDED.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Um.... offhand, I don't know. Common Grounds, maybe?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I got a few comments on Flames and The Arrangement. Not often, and I'm pretty sure I know who they're from.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. I mean, I guess it's smut? I don't know. Like angst, that's a word everyone seems to define slightly differently. The ROSE & THORN stories are basically just smut.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I have, but that was for previous fandoms. I haven't written any wrestling ones yet. (Though I was tempted to try a WWE/Westworld one.)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yep.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I think so. Not any of my wrestling ones (at least not to my knowledge), but from previous fandoms.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Only once. I'm not great at it.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
For my current fandoms, it's still Becky/Seth. Overall, probably Catwoman/Batman. (I got an early start in comics, so most of my earliest fannish stuff is comic-based.)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Disruptors. Or the "Finn's a vampire and Becky's his donor (but not for much longer)", sadly. I just can't remember enough of what I intended for them.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I've been told "normal moments", which I guess is a nice compliment. I like "slice of life" stories, but they don't seem very common in fanfic, at least not wrestling fic.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Everything else? I know I'm not great at pacing and like most writers, I have words/concepts I overuse.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I don't mind it, in moderation. I don't agree with people who say that people don't just drop a non-English word into an English sentence. Sometimes the non-English word fits better. Sometimes it's what you're used to. Sometimes you're so mad/sad/intense/whatever that languages start getting mixed up in your head. Our actual dialogue—spoken, thought, etc.—is rarely as crisp and concise as writing makes it out to be.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
X-Men, probably.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
My fave of faves is from a different fandom. From WWE, I don't know. I'll probably always have a soft spot for THE WIND BETWEEN THE STARS (and no, that's not a thinly veiled attempt to get more people to read it). I also have a fondness for BREAKER OF RINGS and kind of wish I'd made it an original story, but c'est la vie.

Am I still in love with Transformers? Yes.
Is my brain also overtaken by Ring Fit Adventure? Yes.
Will I make crossover art? ... Maybe
For now I am dropping ideas under read more. These were tags first but fuck it, moca screeches is a tag for a reason XD
I need the tfp Kids doing this stuff and the bots cheering 'em on. I bet Jack would challenge red haired bully to an arm wresting contest and win in a blink. He may not have bulging muscles, but there's more to it that meets the eye *badum tss as I am boo-ed off my own post for making an overused reference*
Sari and Bee are somehow playing it and Prowl is watching over their shoulders. Sumdac and Falzone managed to hurt themselves by putting the dificulty too high.
THE MALTO FAMILY COMPETE AT IT AND THEN USE THE WORKOUT MOVES WHILE TRAINING. Both Twitch and Robby regret doing too many reps at once. Dot is a badass and doesn't use any healing smoothies or buffs. Alex excels at Yoga and doesn't want to hurt any of the lil monster guy. He masters the Hover-Over-Enemies technique. Will apologise to any enemy he sends shooting far away.
Optimus and Ring would be besties
Dragaux and Megatron (most but absolutely not tfa) would have a rivalry that would end with both of them sporting dents and bruises, but resulting in mutual (if begrudging) respect. Mostly because the mechanics of what is considered a fight in separate universes works waaaay different
Tfa Megs would use Ring as a goblet holder or just a thing to twirl around one finger when he's bored. Shockwave (despite knowing muscle mass is necessary for these excersizes to work as intended) gives the thing a try. His upper body cables somehow get more buff. Lugnut nearly breaks the poor guy when Ring makes a half mumbled remark. Being among the 'Cons is not ideal.
I need to watch some more of the anime shows, because I know the characters in there would also have a blast
Rafael hates the fact his glasses keep sliding off, so June makes some calls and gets him running prescription glasses (they were "just a test borrow" but she ended up getting them for him with Jack's help). After Raf came third in a school race and his PE grades went up, his mom and dad realized neither of them got their son these, and so both went to June and payed her back in full and then some. It was just great to see their son be more active and social, while he also continued to study hard.
"All thanks to a silly game?"
The household became a competition central, with Raf holding the title of Ace until the very end. His siblings are still in awe.
Miko wishes her hair could light on fire like in game. She also books it through the ground bridges faster, to the horror of all present at base.
There is more ruminating in my mind but for now this is it, because I need to go and EAT ACTUAL FOOD.
Goth how I love this game.
... I also had the hilarious mental image of a xenomorph doing arm exercises just now so I HAVE to draw that at some point

Happy birthday, my love!
Tumblr media
I've had a small booklet about Astrid Lindgren's work in my childhood. In Swedish. I couldn't read a word in it. But I knew what I saw in this pic. It definitely was Tove Jansson! This pic was so full of meta, like a crossover to me. When you see one of your favorite writers hugging the other! Damn!
I'd looked at it in disbelief for a long time. These two women had been a flashlight to me since I was about 5 years old, and still counting. And I still have this picture.
Today is the birthday of one of these women. I often talk to Tove in my mind, and wherever you are, thank you for being here for us, and have another nice day. You wouldn't believe how appreciated you are. My six years old is as much at home in the world of your characters as I am. I've never tried to impose it on him, or on my daughter before that. They have never seen 'air quotes' season 3 (or 1, or 2). It's just a big fat overused book with your original illustrations in our house. It's just you and what you've done for us.
And for her fans, here's one wonderful article in case if you never saw it.
Just some quotes from the article, the displays of the cute:
"The story of Tove and Tuulikki is no different; soon after she refused to dance, Tuulikki sent Tove a card with a cat, fat and striped, hand-drawn on the front. A code that meant: I am thinking of you."
The fragile:
“I can’t recall exactly when I became hostile to my work, or how it happened and what I should do to recapture my natural pleasure in it.”
The human:
“Everything has changed since I met you! Every tone is more vivid, every colour cleaner, all my perceptions are sharper.”
All the things I love the most about people in general, and Tove in particular.

*  knowing  your  partner  well  can  potentially  make  writing  a  lot  easier,  
name:  ren + spear + cloud + others !
pronouns:  they/he
preference  of  communication:  if we aren’t particularly close or are new mutuals IMs here are fine, although i may take a while to reply or even see them given that IMs are broken and also i don’t have social media on my phone. otherwise oh my god discord supremacy
name  of  muse(s):  hermes + amon/fandaniel/that annoying guy. i also have a long-running blog for shadow the hedgehog because i do in fact love sonic games with my whole heart but he’s pretty inactive rn in favor of writing here and doing other stuff. i tend to pick up and drop muses kinda commonly, the last blogs i had that i was active on were one for joshua from twewy and raz aquato from psychonauts.
experience / how  long  ( months / years ? ):  on tumblr since 2019? except for in 2016 i had a blog for ardyn from ffxv for about 2 months but i didn’t get rpc culture at all so i only wrote with like 3 people. honestly that kinda ruled. in general i’ve been writing my whole life though, i used to rp on this site called iscribble all the time in middle school. it was the best
best  experience:  i think all rpcs have their ups and downs but i’m enjoying my time here so far. i also had fun writing edward from fma because it was really easy to curate your own rpc basically because everyone knows who edward elric is so i could easily just follow blogs i was interested in and make crossover verses and stuff. i’ve kinda been thinking about reviving him just bc that was so nice also i still have my icons lol
rp  pet  peeves / deal  breakers:  barring generalized ‘being a creep’ activity people who vague on the dash like “oh my god i can’t believe this is happening again...” bitch tell me what’s going on or shut up and keep it in IMs if you can’t inform the public about something that others need to be aware of then just keep it off the dash i’m BEGGING. also fishing for attention...just say if you want a starter or something instead of 100 vague posts about how you’re all alone no one care you.
ALSO people who overuse formatting and aesthetics. i cannot read your rules. i cannot read your posts. get away from me <3 i’m not following your blog because your stuff is pretty i’m following you so i can write with you. i get sick of people thinking they’re the exception to the rule because they’re a popular blog who puts a lot of work into their aesthetics or something too. No. <3
muse  preferences  fluff,  angst,  or  smut:  a little of all three although i get too embarrassed to write smut although i’m working on it. i guess i prefer angst in general because i like character exploration in the face of trauma and processing negative emotions and stuff but i don’t like feeling like i’m a savior for someone else’s muse or vice versa (i know i know i shouldn’t be writing hermes or whatever but i try to make this feel balanced).
long  or  short  replies:  kinda depends on my energy levels but i have terminal do not shut up disease and my writing leans towards the introspective so that’s what happens
best  time  to  write:  i tend to have the most writing energy in the morning but it just kinda happens whenever. generally during my work day (8-4 mountain) because i need a way to get me to the end of the day lol.
i stole this from my friend fer @soulprofitis feel free to steal it from me

I love how, when I started reading DC Comics, I was very eager to Get The Whole Picture.
Start at the beginning, work my way through chronologically. Crossover event? Gotta get onto that. Something happens somewhere else but affects the continuity I am reading? Better check that out too.
And now, two years in, I have learned to just... roll with the punches because half the time, the punches don’t matter anyway.
Lisa Snart died. And then she came back. Barry... uh... disappeared or died or potentially both but hey nah he’s fine, he killed death and is back with a vengeance. Bart gets horrifically murdered but eh he’s gonna be fine I saw him earlier in Dark Crisis. Roscoe Dillon died like at least three times by now that bitch just won’t stay dead.
In theory, I was very much aware of the fact that DC reboots and throws Crisis events that shuffle canon around like it’s hard candy on Carnival. Yet, inexplicably so, I kind of still somehow expected a bit more, I don’t know, consistency I guess? Like, for it to not be as frequently rewritten as it is, or that the dead-oh-no-kidding-I’m-back plots would be, uh, a little less overused.
But it’s all just one big chaotic mess. So if, say, Outsiders Vol 3 just casually throws a “yeah, Conner died” at me, I’m like, sure, why not, I know he’s gonna get better, I’ll just... not... worry about whatever that is, or where that happens. If it’s really a big deal, it will find its way into my reading list. If not, let’s move on to when he’s back alive again”.
This mentality has proven to be vital for my sanity, actually.
