FELLOW PERCY JUMPSCARE

WHATS UP OTHER PERCY

obsessed with lovely runner's commitment to slandering seunghyubs vocals 😭 I thought they were preparing for a twist by not showing the audition so that we could later get a scene with him singing where he wows us but last nights ep had me dead the voice crack edits?? who has it in for him at tvn omg

same omg I was like are they going to reveal he's actually amazing and then eclipse will make it without sunjae? but no they had to embarrass him again djflshkhgs when you think about it, in real life he's actually closer to sunjae's character (frontman of a band, mostly a vocalist on stage but will sometimes perform with a keyboard, also an actor) so they had to make sure his actual character was the opposite lol

what's even funnier is that he's singing on one of the ost songs lmao like we can actually hear his real voice but they're committed to the bit (also gotta admire seunghyub's saying yes to slandering his own vocal abilities)

Hey there! Hope you're doing well and full of inspiration for your writing! For the ask game:

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction

Hey, there! I'm good, thanks. Resting a little after ClexaWeek before I get back into my almost-finished WIPs. How about you? :)

All right, let's see.

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?

I never do reader inserts so, OC by default. I've created very few of those so far, though. The main one I can think of was Sloan in Ad Astra, and some people in Polis in On the Ground, especially the Nightbloods. I'm enjoying it and looking forward to developing them in the next part!

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

Though one. Our fandom is blessed with so many excellent writers, it's impossible to choose!

Today I'm in the mood for some banter and fun, so I would recommend Spelling It Out by Brilliant5134 (who I only just realized changed their name). It's a Harry Potter AU, but with Clarke and Lexa as wand makers' apprentices. It's hilarious, original, and super well written. The first few chapters make me laugh aloud every time I read it.

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction

Blame the pandemic... xD

I can't remember how but I stumbled onto some Clexa fics by accident back in 2019, and it made me want to rewatch the show. From there, I found Ao3 and read maaaany fics, especially when the lockdown started where I was. And since I found myself with too much free time on my hands, I started writing too.

I used to tell a lot of stories when I was a kid, but as I grew older and no one encouraged me (my family is more into science and "practical" studies than arts), I forgot that part of myself. I still loved to read and spent hours imagining epic tales while I should have been sleeping, but I kept them to myself. It's only when I discovered fanfiction, and especially Clexa, that I finally dared to let some of them out :)

23.5 premiere day has a lot of bl blogs showing their asses. everyone loves gl until it's time to show up and support

...sorry i didn't turn up for yuri duty on time and you took it personally? i had some shit to do today? i'll watch it tomorrow probably, and if that doesn't please the court your hanonour then feel free to shove it up your entire hole?? be well etc

Hi Aurelie! Would you recommend watching bridgerton from season 1 to fully understand Penelope and Colin’s relationship or can I just go straight into season 3?

I think it's best to watch from the beginning to understand the whole story, but I think you can also skip the main couple parts of their respective season because they don't affect (or is it effect??) the Colin/Penelope relationship.

That being said, I love all the interactions they have with other characters on the show and you will miss out on so much fun stuff if you only watch season3.

So long answer short, yes I do recommend to watch from season 1 :p

remember how i said "gNuGnUgNuH yOu sHoUld chAngE yOuR tHeMe bItCh iT hUrtS mY eyEs" actually don't do that cause i was looking for a white background to use as a flashlight and couldn't find one on my chronically dark themed phone but then i remembered your sociopathic tumblr theme and it saved me so thank you actually! u're a real one bestie 🤍

first of all, i might sound absolutely insane for this but hear me out: i've been told (and this might be fake so i don't really know) that phones nowadays have this really cool feature (again, never tried it myself so i don't know) called a flashlight???? i have no idea but it's supposed to make a light so you can see things better in the dark and not use your screen... anyway, just a tip for you bestie!

and now, i'm gonna be serious again: i might change it just out of spite. i really just might. making it absolutely pitch black. my next theme is actually gonna absorb light, it's gonna be insane.

gerry it really is so dire do you think it will ever stop being so dire. i think for as long as gay people are real and grief & loneliness exist it will always be dire. which means forever

eek yeah.. i dont know... there are brief moments when it's not dire and that's what's important i suppose...

why WHY WHY why is young (or even now) Kate such a beautiful lady it is not fair. She gives me pants feelings and it’s like yeah you know?

Idk which Kate you're talking about but I agree nevertheless

2, 10, 30

Nice choices, Anon 👀

Numbers are from this ask game.

2. Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?

I feel like there's a thousand ways to answer this question, but the first thing that came to mind was a She's the Man AU. Every time we watch that movie I think about how much fun that would be to write - but there's no way to do that story now and not make someone trans. And I just don't think we're in a space to do that justice right now.

10. Top three favourite fic tropes.

Ooooooooooh, yes - love me an enemies/rivals to lovers story, some good ol' fashioned hurt/comfort, and Tabby would demand I mention "Person A goes scorched earth because Person B is being hurt." Nothing quite like being able to beat up one of your characters until the other one goes super sayain.

30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

There was a Gentleman Jack inspired Clexa au that we developed the outline for but never got around to writing. Lexa is an Ann-Lister-shaped scion of a noble house with chronic pain from an old injury; Clarke is a city doctor brought out to the Woods estate to replace the last doctor Lexa kicked to the curb. Lexa is an asshole but Clarke is determined, cue enemies-to-lovers speed run.

Big fan of your header and pfp btw

AHH THANK YOU!!! their my sillies and I will die on that hill!

Not sure if it was you or someone else in the anti ts tag that said this but the fact that Taylor Swift being a good writer ≠ a good musician is something more people need to understand.

Here's an insta reel that illustrates exactly what I (and everyone with this criticism) means.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5ekmWmuvUS/?igsh=MXJ4aG9xMm5zeDR2aA==

Taylor's music is so repetitive and bland and there's nothing wrong with that but if you hand off her lyrics to people who actually KNOW how to make it engaging it's so interesting to see the results. Back to December is one of my favorite Swift songs but there's no denying that this cover is MILES better. And the point of the reel still stands! The songwriting is good! But the music? Well... It's about time Swifties learn that it is far from the only thing that makes a good artist.

Yes, i was the one who made a post about that. That cover sounds amazing, and i dont even like punk rock all that much. But whats the point of writing well when they all sound the same sonically. I've seen so many people cover her songs differently, and they sound so much better.

Being able to put out a song that sounds really good is better than putting out a song that has a lot of meaning and sounds meh. I feel like she wants to be the only one credited for her work in order to seem super self-sufficient and talented, but it only makes everything sound really dull.

People complaining that naksu is too innocent but she thought he wanted to have sex on a public walkway next to a lake and was like “kinda freaky but okay” she’s not innocent, she’s kind and lacks power, but still makes the decision to fight back regardless. We haven’t seen her with a blade yet but there’s a hundred percent chance she opens naksus sword while living with jang uk and freaks everyone out (I hope her opening her sword is a big moment bc that was what she was working towards in the first season and also bc the last time she had it she impaled the man she loved on it and I love that)

she really was down for it lmao and yeah I agree, based on how she's been living for the past 3 years (locked up with only her family and some guards for company) and what she's been told about herself, I'm not surprised by her attitude and personality - she thinks she's the daughter of an overprotective family not a soul shifting assassin who found love but she's yearning for freedom and will do all that she can to gain it and she's not above flaunting or begging and making a deal with the least expected person (which is a direct parallel to the beginning of part1) but also she's excited and open when she's with jang uk because he's a huge novelty for her and he's obviously unlike anyone she's met and she doesn't know yet how dark the world has been to her and what she's done so of course she's not scowling at everything or talking about poison because she can't tell him she loves him upfront.

and yesss the sword better play a big part this time around. it's already very symbolic with jang uk carrying it with him at all times and using it to kill shape shifters when he was killed with it by his shape shifter lover. but now we know that she has access to her powers if only a little and that they're connected to her memories (and even if she doesn't have those back yet, it's clear her powers are tuned in to her connection with jang uk which is a good sign). I'm thinking she either gets to open the sword at his house or by picking it up without thinking during a fight (it would make for a very cool scene) to protect him. I did love the angst brought by her killing him with it in part 1 and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who was loving the drama of it all but I think it'd be super cool if this time around she gets to fight alongside him or to protect him with this sword and truly take it back as hers, a symbol of all her history. she's a fascinating character and I'm so curious what her reaction to gaining her memories/powers back will be (and also wether it'll happen all at once or more gradually)

Hello! Hope you are doing well!

For the fic asks:

10 What is the quickest work to write?

15 What work are you taking into the new Year with you?

20 Which work of yours have you reread the most?

I am, thanks :)

Exciting stuff is happening work-wise. I won't have as much time to write as before, but I finally feel like my "career" is going somewhere

10 What was the quickest work to write?

Relatively? I think it was Where the Sky Touches the Sea. The whole plot just popped into my mind, start to end, and I wrote it in like a week.

One-shot/Chapter-wise? That would be the first chapter of On the Ground All Can Hear You Scream. I wrote 6k+ words in 24h because my idiotic ass decided to join ClexaWeek2022 at the last minute and hadn't prepared anything. I wrote around 20k that week, and then I died 😅

15 What work are you taking into the new Year with you?

All my WIPs that are currently giving me the stink eye because I haven't updated them in weeks/months? 😅

On the Ground All Can Hear You Scream, mostly. Because it's going to be a looong fic with several parts and side works. I've already dragged it into 2023, and by the look of things, it's going to haunt me until 2028...

20 Which work of yours have you reread the most?

Tough one. I tend to re-edit my older works as my style improves, so I've reread and edited my first fics a few times. I finally finished retouching Our Revolution, and since it's my longest story to date, it feels like I've been on it forever (A new epilogue is coming very soon btw. After working on it for weeks, I was inspired)

But if we're talking about reading my fics leisurely while trying to ignore the perfectionist mini demon on my shoulder telling me to edit? Probably Not All Treasure’s Silver and Gold. It's a quick read, it's exciting, has a good plot twist, and you can't go wrong with Pirate Lexa.

I also love Stages of Grief (Bring The Light Back In Me). It's not as light, but Clarke and Lexa's relationship there is one of my favorites. Plus it inspired me to start writing more canon, hence On the Ground.

♾️ a tune please ! 💜✨👉👈

you got true blue by mark ronson, but specifically this version by julia nunes

favourite lyrics is just the whole chorus: fucking around, i'm falling in love//saying goodbye 'cause you're giving it up//all that you were, all that you lost//who ever thought it came with a cost?//i ran to you, i ran to you//i ran to you and you know why
