If you struggle with designing the eggs/depicting them as human-like, use their wiki and go to trivia

This is for Pomme, but for example, Chayanne’s says that his eyes are the same colour as Enchanted Slime Armour

You may also find their favourite colours, which could be used for undertones or clothing colours

Sometimes when you're having a slow week at work because you have a backlog of digitized materials and you're by yourself in the office you end up finding delightful things on JSTOR. Bottom!Faustus is totally canon.

Also, this read on the "talk not of a wife" exchange, from the same article, is not groundbreaking (nor is meant to be) but is extremely well articulated:

#this is a pretty cool article all around #it's basically about how DF is an inverted version of calvinist striving for god #and the ways in which it's framed as addiction #doctor faustus #hot faust summer #otp: as many souls as there be stars #faustposting at work again 🙃#also this is grist for the sexy demonic possession fic i am starting to sketch out #working title: two sickos one body #my smutfic is A+ character analysis you know

yo dude i was really curious and i just read yr primal fear fic, just wanted to say that your writing is genuinely so impressive.. not a lot of people could take a prompt like this and actually give it so much substance, your stuff shows such a deep level of understanding of the media ur working with +intuitiveness.. like characterizing shit well from 90s movies is crazy hard and u like immediately got how to write an in-character martin vail so if u can do that u can do any thing im like blown away 🙈 cant wait to see what u do in the future with yr original stuff, youre a beast with the pen ✍️✍️

sobbing for real dude.... this is so kind... "shows such a deep understanding of the media youre working with" truly there is few better compliments 😭 the 'from 90s movies' part is hard as hell sometimes yeah... I feel like I understand the psyche pretty well but there's so much just general milieu that's easy to just... not even realize is relevant. Of course it helps that most of my readers are also not particularly familiar with the 90s lmao but. Idk I try to keep that post-fall of the soviet union pre-9/11 immense nihilism in mind. Fortunately I have some friends who have a pretty strong lock on the vibe for one reason or another who help too— I assume they'd tell me if it was a 'he would not fucking say that' situation haha. It's funny wrt Martin Vail because I do think I did him pretty passably.. I don't always mesh into characters well per se; like for Tyler, I think I understand him pretty well but it's still tricky to figure out how to actually word what he says — I'm tempted to outsource to @a-forsteri who has a goddamn LOCK on it... we should collab, bestie... but regardless yeah Vail was an interesting one for sure. You only get so much characterization of him in the movie, really. Thanks for reading and I'm really glad you enjoyed it, comments like this are what keep me going fr :')

#asks #apologies if this just seems like rambling in response haha #u: your original stuff #me: dodges and runs #nah... i want to do that too #im just first and foremost a fic writer in that i really enjoy the specific Art of working with preexisting characters and materials.#the intertextuality of it and base assumptions which can be exaggerated or inverted.... it's very interesting and fun for me.#otoh i really like the little story i came up with in my head. i would love to come up with more #i need to just. work out how to write longer things i think. maybe ill do the chuck strat and just treat the whole thing as a collection of #short stories #just gonna work out how to introduce people to characters....#hahaha

alright absolute favorite spikebuffy image of all time is from the scene where they’re under the carpet in dead things, having a normal conversation instead of the old punch-and-leave routine, and there’s this one shot where she’s sort of leaning up on her elbows half-smiling incredulously and her incredibly early-oughts new haircut is impeccable of course and he’s sort of ducking down and hiding this huge smile against her shoulder. first of all i think that should be in the louvre with all the other images of Couples In Bed (or On Floor) but what really sells it for me is the slight inversion of gender throughout. he’s demure, she’s dripping with sexual prowess, he wants her to stay and he’ll make an honest woman out of her, he’s domesticity incarnate for five minutes here, he actually offers to neaten up her home and redecorate it; she’s calm down, toots, it was just sex. don’t get attached. she’s a rude CEO in a trashy romance novel whose dismissiveness only makes the blushing (yet surprisingly experienced) new secretary want to cling on closer and try to understand her more

#any fic i would ever write would just be 'gender-inverted classic romance novel tropes'#cause they deserve it! he deserves to be a baker on the run from a misunderstanding with the law and she is a demanding US marshal #she's a hard-bitten cowboy widower with a teenager to care for who's got no use for frippery or new people in her life #he's new in town and lonely and just inherited an old farm he has no idea how to take care of and is nearly menaced by a rattlesnake #she's an extraordinarily impolite duke with a rumored past that would take dictionaries to fill. he's a sweet but spunky country heiress #buffy the vampire slayer #i never got 'gendered imbalance of power' before this. nor enemies to lovers. didnt work for me but hoo boy . now i get it. now i do

Shitty air conditioning hits their bare skin and they scoff, rolling their shoulders before readjusting the slashed garment. “Jouno.” Fine, then. If that’s what game Jouno wanted to play, then they’d indulge the crybaby. They'd apologize to Teruko later. Jouno smirks at them for just a moment before rushing forward, and their blades are plunged into a cycle of thrusting and parrying for a good minute.

promoting this nb4nb inverted suegiku fic from a while ago that i'm still really happy with <3

ft. swordfighting in a motel, jouno being a little brat, and tetchou being very affectionately annoyed at them

The final chapter of Inverted Confrontation!

@daboyau

“How did you do that!?” Other April shakes Leo violently.

“It’s-! Hard-! To explain-! With you-! Shaking me!” Leo choppily answers.

Dr. Rude stares at Hyde with wide eyes.

“He….he fixed you….? H-He just winged it and you’re fixed!?”

Other April stops shaking Leo.

“What are you yelling for? You should be happy! You did this in the first place!”

Dr. Rude grits his teeth and clenches his fists.

“It’s not…it’s not fair, I was supposed to be the most talented. I was supposed to be the stupid mystic expert! Why couldn’t I know how to fix it before it got this bad!? Why does he just suddenly have an answer after trying once!?”

“You never would have been able to figure it out yourself.” Draxum pipes up.

Dr. Rude’s pupils go small.

“Excuse me?”

“It had to be someone else’s mystic power. If it was you, it would make it worse before you could remove it. It’s not entirely your fault.”

Dr. Rude hardly lets even a second pass before punching Draxum in the face.

Draxum stumbles back both in pain and shock, holding his nose as it starts to bleed.

“Do you think anything you say can make me feel better? Do you think you’re any better than the Draxum that did this to us? What was different here, huh? You didn’t get your hands on them? You didn’t have their dad to hold over their heads!? That other me looks like a baby deer and you still threw his brother off a building!”

Hyde attempts to hold him back.

“Dr. Rude! That’s enough!”

Draxum wipes away the blood.

“I’m not any better. I didn’t care about them for a long time. I wasn’t the reason that I was able to be around them. It was you, the version of you not raised by me. He saw me and he took pity. He helped me put my life back together after I destroyed it. He did it because he’s good. Better than I ever deserved, and everyone can tell you the same. Maybe you’re right, maybe nothing I can say can make you feel better. I still want you to know that it is my fault, his fault. He put you into a position where you couldn’t keep being kind.”

Dr. Rude stops trying to come after him.

“Great, thanks for telling me I’m ruined.”

“Are you kidding? If I can somehow become a lunch lady after what I did, you can become whatever you want.”

Dr. Rude blinks in surprise.

For the entirety of his younger years, Draxum always told him and his brothers that they could only ever be one thing.

Weapons against humanity.

Draxum’s words were poison, something to forget and never listen to. It was hard to believe he was right even if it was about something good for once.

“Look, I’m still mad at you guys for what you did to me, all the stuff you did to yourselves, and what you did to the people back in your world, but Draxum has a point. You don’t have to keep doing this. Leo found a way to fix what you did. You guys can learn it and do the right thing.” April insists.

“They should have done the right thing before they killed agent 64!” Other April glares at the Dr. Rude and Hyde.

Hyde let’s go of Dr. Rude and glances down.

“He’s not actually dead.”

“Do you think this is funny? I buried him myself!”

“And I unburied him. We never meant to hurt him! That building wasn’t supposed to come down like it did. I…made poor calculations. He’s alive, Ape-…sorry, force of habit….April. He’s in a poof proof cage back at my lab.”

Other April’s eyes widen, filling with tears just a bit.

“You’re lying. I know you are.”

“When did you do that!?” Dr. Rude questions.

“I….I hid it. I didn’t think you or Champion would let me do it.” Hyde materializes a tablet.

From it, a video starts playing of a cage with other Mayhem laying down in it. He’s curled up, back facing the camera.

Other April tears it from his hands.

“I-It has to be a trick. A fake video.”

Hyde holds down a button on the tablet.

“It’s not. It’s a live feed. I connected it with my powers so I could keep an eye on him through dimensions. Talk, he can hear you.”

“Agent 64! It’s April!”

Mayhem hops up in excitement, turning around. This allows Other April to see that parts of him are replaced with purple, mystic tech. His tail wags so hard it’s a blur. He’s smiling so widely.

Other April tears up a lot more and hugs the tablet tightly.

“I’ve missed you so much! Just wait, I’ll be there soon and I’ll get you out of there! We’re going to go home!”

Other Mayhem goes wild and makes all sorts of happy noises.

Hyde smiles softly.

Other April suddenly pulls him into the hug as well, taking him completely off guard.

“I still don’t forgive you, since this was your fault, but….thank you.”

Hyde doesn’t dare hug her back, knowing she’d immediately let go of him if he tried.

“Sooooo….this might be a good time to bring up something. Since you need their mystics to be able to fix all the zombies back home, and they obviously can’t be brought down by anything but us, maybe they can just go good?” Leo suggests.

Other April let’s go of Hyde.

“People aren’t just gonna accept that.”

“Well, they kind of have to? Or else their friends and family are gone forever and they’re going to keep living in terror for just as long?” Leo shrugs with an awkward face.

Other April sighs heavily.

“Fine. I guess you’re right. Maybe I can try to swing that when we get back.”

Dr. Rude crosses his arms and looks away, neither accepting or rejecting the idea.

“We can’t go back yet with the state that Champion is in. They’d eat him alive.” Hyde insists.

“Then we’re going to have to hope everyone else was able to bring him back.”

In the other room, Champion was whimpering like a child who was sick but too young to understand why everything hurt.

“You have to do something! He’s your brother, you gotta know what can help him!” Raph shakes Red’s arm.

Red stares down at Champion, his eyes filling with resolve.

He sits down next to him and slowly leans closer and closer until his chin gently rests in the crook of his neck.

Champion is caught off guard and opens his eyes to see what exactly is going on. They stare at each other for a good few seconds before Champion turns around and clings to him.

“R-Red, I’m scared, s-something’s wrong with me. I-I remember everything I did, but I don’t feel like I did when they happened!”

Red wraps his arms around him, bringing him into his lap and cradling his brother close.

“I know everything is confusing right now, but you’re gonna be okay. We’re gonna help you.”

Champion hides his face in Red’s chest until he moves it to the side enough to look at Splinter.

“You’re….you’re not our dad….”

“No, I’m sorry, but that doesn’t mean I won’t help you too. If he was here, I know he would be.”

Champion reaches his hand out, making a grabby hand motion.

Splinter holds his hand with both of his. He carefully rubs circles into his palm as he always did with Leo when he wasn’t feeling well as a child.

Champion makes a pained expression.

“Are….are you mad at me? At us? Disappointed? Do….do you hate us for trying to take away your real kids?”

“I’m just sorry that this happened to all of you.”

“I…I don’t know why I wanted to do it. It made so much sense before….now I feel like I’m crazy.”

“That’s because you weren’t truly the one who was making the decisions.” Hyde suddenly pipes up.

Everyone looks at the group that just arrived in the room.

Draxum stayed back in order to not make things worse.

“Hyde….? They fixed you? How?” Red questions.

“Leo figured it out. Apparently only someone other than Dr. Rude would be able to do it.”

Champion stares intensely at Hyde like he’s unsure how to react right away to his presence.

Hyde stands there awkwardly, not knowing what else to say under this sort of gaze.

Then, a slight smile grows on Champion’s face.

“What’s with that look, Shelly?”

A chagrin blush spreads across Hyde’s face.

“Leo!! You promised you wouldn’t call me that anymore!” His arms angrily go straight at his sides.

Leo starts laughing hysterically.

“He used to call you Shelly!?”

“I can’t believe I forgot, he used to call him ‘Tello, then it became ‘Telly, and because he’s a shoft shell it ended up as Shelly.” Red explains.

Leo glances at Donnie with a shit eating grin.

“Nardo! Don’t you even think of it! I’m warning you!” Donnie glares at him.

“Chill out, Shel-“

Donnie pulls Leo’s head back by his mask tails hard enough to send him crashing down.

Leo sweeps his legs and forces him down to the ground next to him.

They begin fighting like a cartoon dust cloud is about to appear over them.

Mikey, Raph, April and Splinter try to get them to stop or at least separate.

Champion smiles more at seeing them.

“What were you saying, Hyde?”

Hyde calms down quickly, looking more resigned.

“Dr. Rude has been puppeteering you. He’s been doing it since we were kids.”

Champion’s smile drops, but only slightly.

“I know.”

“You….you what? You know?”

Dr. Rude looks at him in just as much shock as Hyde does.

“What do you mean you know?”

“Obviously when I was younger I didn’t….but once he started doing it to humans, I was aware it was the same thing he did to me.” Champion answers.

“Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you try to stop him!?” Hyde shouts.

“I wasn’t able to feel mad about it. I didn’t think it was a problem. I couldn’t.”

Hyde turns to Dr. Rude.

“You made it so he wasn’t able to tell us.”

“I didn’t! Not on purpose! I swear!”

“How am I supposed to believe you after what you did!?”

“I-I’m sorry! Tell me how I can prove it and I will!”

“We can’t prove intent! Does it even matter if it was accidental? You tried to control me too to hide what you did!”

“Hyde-“

“Not now Red! Just because you forgave him doesn’t mean I did!”

“D-Donnie, please, I only did that to you because I was scared you wouldn’t let me help him! I know I shouldn’t have! I-I kept doing what I thought was good for our family!” Dr. Rude insists.

“What did you ever do for me!? Take away my twin!? Kill Draxum!? You made him do that for you! And it was because of dad!”

“No! It wasn’t because of dad! It’s because he was going to hurt you next!” Dr. Rude screams with closed eyes, trying to stop tears that came anyway.

“What are you talking about?“

Dr. Rude tries to wipe his eyes with the bottom of his palms.

“A-After what he did to dad, he hated that you covered my eyes! H-He thought you’d make the rest of us weak too just like him! I heard him! I didn’t know what I did to Leo would take him away from you! I-I never, ever wanted to hurt you! Y-You’re one of my best friends! I-I love you!” He begins sobbing big, fat tears.

Hyde stands there in shock. He had no idea about any of that.

“I heard it too, back then. What he did to me….it’s going to take time for me to get my head wrapped around it…..it’s messed up. But we wouldn’t have survived otherwise, I think.” Champion comments.

Hyde stares at Dr. Rude. All he can see is his littlest brother. The one who tried to make his own star stickers because he knew Hyde loved them so much. The one who keeps spare unicorns around to surprise Champions with. The one who would let everyone else know if Red needed something because otherwise he’d silently suffer.

Hyde carefully takes Dr. Rude into his arms as he shakes and sobs.

“You don’t have to do any of this anymore. None of us do.”

“We….don’t?” Red looks at him.

“It’s over. We’re going to fix all the humans back in our world. We’re going to keep letting Champion recover. We’re….going to relax for once.”

“I could definitely use some of that.” Champion smiles tiredly.

Leo gently takes the tablet from Other April and types into it.

“Here’s how I managed to fix you. You’ll probably get it after some practice.” He hands it over to Hyde.

“Thank you. Everything you guys did despite what we did to you….we appreciate it.”

“Just make sure not to get into anymore trouble.” Raph instructs.

“We’ll do our best.”

April swipes the tablet this time.

“Wait, one more thing before you guys go. I think a photo might do you some good. Splints, would you mind?”

Splinter quickly understands and moves closer to his alternate sons.

April takes a photo and hands the tablet back to Hyde.

The former villains all look at it with bittersweet fondness.

“Dad always wanted a family photo. Sorry about the whole chasing you and trying to kill you thing.” Champion apologizes.

“Eh, it’s alright. Raph’s wrestling hero kept coming after them and me one time and he still has his posters up.”

“He’s still really talented.” Raph grumbles.

Hyde chuckles quietly and opens up his portal device. The set of them begin to leave through it.

“Bye! Stay safe! Come back if you guys become heroes instead!” Mikey cheerily waves.

Dr. Rude sheepishly waves back before he and Hyde vanish through the portal.

The universe originals all breathe a sigh of relief as it closes behind their alternates.

“I never knew the multiverse and time branches could potentially be this messy.” Donnie huffs.

“Draxum! They’re gone! You can come back!” Mikey calls out.

Draxum walks in.

“I have never been so glad that I did not achieve my lifelong goals.”

Mikey hugs him.

“You got something even better! Family!”

“And I’m not dead. That’s highly important.” He pats Mikey’s head.

“I hope no one ever comes out of another portal with a giant problem for us to solve again. That was exhausting.” Leo complains.

“I think this calls for a nice, relaxing, celebration. I’ll go set up one of my best movies so I can tell you all about the drama on set. Chad was quite the player!” Splinter announces before leaving the room.

The turtles groan, but not out of any real annoyance before everyone follows him out.

It was just nice that they still could listen to him.

So you know how when a writer gets fan art it’s like the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to us and we sit there and sob over it for several weeks

Is the reverse also true? Do artists enjoy getting stories based on their art?

#I feel like it’s not the same #like art captures a moment in a fic but this is inverted #but sadly I cannot draw so I’m looking at other ways to show appreciation #but I also feel like I could see an artist actively not liking it? like that is not what this art is about at all how did you even??? 😂#anyway honest opinions please ❤️

What if I theologized hanahaki? What then? Like if hanahaki was a symbol of unrequited love that desperately wants to be requited? Because God so loves us enough to want to be with us but also loves us enough to hold back lest His holiness turn us to ash because the flowers have become so embedded in us. So what if the flowers are a sign of our own rejection of God and the desperate craving we all have deep inside for Him...but also our way of melding with something that needs to go and thus being unable to be saved from it because we made it us in a sense? Like...

...

There’s a new wave of people who claim to be without the Flower Rot, also known as Hanahaki and Hua Bing.

These people claim that, without surgery, they have managed to completely remove the Rot. When asked what had caused this, one woman who wished to remain anonymous told the reporters, “It was…God, I guess. But He was also a man. He just…said that because the Rot’s too rooted in us, even if we wanted God we’d just burn with the flowers. But the only way’s to have His love take it away. So He said He’d take Rot and fade because He was a man, then come back because He’s God, and give us love to remove the Rot because He’s both.”

Her explanation aligns with similar ones from other witnesses with the Rot gone. They claim that the risk of fading with the removal of the flowers was taken by a man. But that His Godliness also signified that He could “grant His love” to permanently dispel the Rot.

As a refresher, it is quite unclear why the Rot suddenly began to manifest inside our lungs millennia ago. The most common legend is a tale of how humanity and God once lived in harmony in a garden. However, one day, man rejected God and told Him they could create a garden of their own. Though He offered a chance to repent from their rejection, having told them previously that such an endeavour would bring death upon them, they refused to acknowledge their wrong and were thus severed from His power and acceptance.

The proud declaration of humanity was not a nonsense claim, as they indeed found they could produce beautiful plant life for a garden.

However, that came with the cost of death, for these flowers grew inside them and were expelled through bloody coughs and sneezes.

Such is the duality of this universal Rot—a sign of divine rejection, some say, or a sign of our own ability to create beauty made more glorious through our own sacrifice, as others say. Of course, there are others who say this Rot is more complicated than simply a sign of our glory or a rejection from the divine, but those claims as much less popular.

In recent times, science has discovered that this Rot is simply a natural and inborn function of our body. “In fact, it’s inaccurate to call such a natural part of human experience a rot,” Doctor Kinuyo Yahagi of Hanahaki Research Association said, showing a bloodied purple iris of hers. “Yes, it is unpleasant but it is a fact of life, just like death and hunger and blood.” She then gave an animated explanation how there was a particular genetic wiring within our lungs linked to the brain’s rejection and affection chemicals. If the two are stirred in such a way, a pathway is made from the brain to the lungs triggering the genetic code and causing flowers to bloom.

“It can be removed by surgery,” a surgeon from the local medical center said. “However, studies have shown it is risky as it can affect your ability to love and process rejection, so it’s up to the patient to take the risk or not.”

Activists have cried that a difficulty in loving is not a sign of deteriorating humanity, and that those who choose the surgery are still acceptable.

“Hanahaki or not, we all still die, right?” a video of one academic debate records a professor speaking to one of the new Rot-less people.

The Rot-less person—a professor as well—nods thoughtfully. “Yes, but now, my death becomes a death without the disease signalling our separation from the divine, which is no true death at all.”

The ethics of removing the Flower Rot surgically still are debated, though much support for it has arisen in the past few decades. Research into these new rot-less people has also steadily increased, all done with the utmost legal and ethical restrictions to the volunteer’s rights.

“Hopefully, we’ll get to the bottom of this and find a better way to remove the disease,” Dr. Yahagi’s co-worker who wished to remain anonymous said. “Natural or not, it is still unpleasant. Why continue with something that is now proven to not be inevitable?”

#i wrote this on my phone so excuse the typos #would have posted it on wordpress but it felt too short for that #sorry about the blatant symbolism and theologizing but I'm really not #long post #lemon duck quacks #for the words!#lemon duck tales #oh and i definitely used the inverted pyramid format for news for this #don't think i succeeded since it's been a while since i practiced that but hey #LOOK. I just firmly believe that anything can be christian if you're brave enough #and an unrequited love that blooms into beautiful flowers that kill you?#like sometimes brokenness isn't exactly ugly is it?#and sometimes sin looks so beautiful and tempting #but they kill you nevertheless because of want for something that you cannot have for being destroyed too #anyway apologies if this is very theologically inaccurate #I'm stil learning about the Bible and i really don't want to misinform anyone about the story of the Bible #so here is my disclaimer for it #anyway I've been obssessed with this trope ever since some discord people wrote fics using it

For no particular reason: a grab-bag of answers to questions I've gotten, usually more than once, on my SW fics. Austen ones later!

Lucy Skywalker:

1— Why did you use "Lucy" for your female Luke Skywalker instead of something more space-like/Star Wars-y?

Because "Luke" itself isn't that kind of name. It's the perfectly common English form of a real, old, familiar name. I was looking for something analogous—a name with a common English form, something that's been around for a very long time, ideally with a similar appearance to "Luke." I stand by my opinion that "Lucy" is the closest fit, not something "spacier."

2— Why are Lucy and Leia seventeen c. ANH instead of the canonical nineteen?

Because Star Wars "canon" is a shape-shifting void beast and I stick firmly to the films and sometimes scripts. The movies don't give Luke and Leia's ages at any point in the OT, but the ANH script says Luke is eighteen and Leia is about sixteen. For the Lucyverse, I averaged them out to seventeen.

3— Why is the wampa episode different, with Wedge Antilles captured first?

The pervasive misogyny of most GFFA societies in the Lucy fics led to Lucy being ultimately accepted into Rogue Squadron but not as leader; Wedge occupies Luke's role as commander and even gets his shifts. Consequently, he's the one in place to get mauled by the wampa, but he has less options for escape and would have died if not for Lucy and Han's impromptu rescue mission.

The other reason is that the changes to the sequence made it more interesting to write about than just ... novelization-style with a pronoun switch, which I'd already done through much of the first fic.

4— Speaking of the pervasive misogyny of the GFFA in the Lucy fics, why is that a thing?

When I look at the roles of women in the prequels and then at the near-total dearth of them in the OT, the difference is very glaring. Maybe this is just a relic of the respective times in which they were made, but idk, it feels like the domination of white human men during the Emperor's reign has a certain resonance with Imperial era politics. That includes the fact that (as depicted in the OT) the military arm of the Alliance is scarcely better in this regard. It genuinely feels to me like there's been real, in-world, large-scale change from the PT era.

And I generally prefer to lean into fucked-up aspects of a canon and underscore what's wrong with them rather than to headcanon them away. So that's what I was doing there.

And the idea that the particular misogyny of the Empire flows down from Palpatine and this minefield changes Anakin/Vader's approach to Lucy (and hers to him) was far more interesting to write about than "everything is basically the same, lala what systematic misogyny." The events of The Jedi and the Sith Lord were always part of my plan for the fic and one of the main things that made it interesting to work towards.

SW: Rogue One

1— The idea of Cassian being from Alderaan is, um, interesting, but according to the Expanded Universe—

The extent to which I do not care about the SWEU can hardly be overstated. Please feel free to stop correcting my fanfic with SWEU/TV show factoids.

(Sidenote: I only wrote Alderaanian!Cassian in the ad astra verse, though he speaks Alderaanian in all of them.)

2— Will you ever finish per ardua ad astra?

Yes. I'm sorry it's taking so long, but I will if it kills me.

3— You've talked about Leia/Jyn/Cassian, but ...

I do actually have two fic ideas for it. I've written some of one, but not the other (and of course, I prefer the scenario I haven't written). I do hope to write some, someday.

4— Will you ever finish the Persuasion fusion with Wentworth!Jyn and Anne!Cassian?

Probably not. ;_;

SW: Other

1— Your Skywalker headcanons about Tatooine slave culture are interesting. Are you going to do more with those?

My Skywalker headcanons are not Tatooine slave culture headcanons. The enslavement of Shmi and her surviving people happened in her young adulthood in nearly all my fics.

I will do more with my headcanons about the Alsarai, though!

2— Will you ever write the sequel to Revenge of the Jedi?

Probably not. I had it planned and outlined, but a lot of the ideas got absorbed into other fics, and I'm not feeling it these days.

3— Will you ever continue the one-shot fic where Vader defects with Luke in ROTJ?

Yes and no. I can't really say more.

OKAY I HOPE IT'S ALRIGHT TO SUBMIT THIS KIND OF STUFF TO YOU BUT,,,I saw that you've taken interest in inverted sun, and since i'm a big fan of that au, i got kind of a silly "what-if" story i need to tell someone rn and unfortunately that someone is you jdxedfjnde

So, this is sorta like a meta-type of thing, but Y/N is actually a big fan of the Fnaf games, and the Daycare Attendant in particular (i know shocking LMAO). They're also kinda weird too; they believe in stuff like spells and summoning type of videos on youtube lol. One night, they basically said "fuck it" and used an incantation ritual to see if they could bring Sun and Moon into real-life. Nothing happens at first, but the next morning ig but lo-and-behold they wake up to the two cuddling next to them (wish that was me currently,,,)

However, things didn't go as planned. Y/N accidentally messed up the spell, and instead of summoning the regular Sun and Moon, they brought to life the infected versions of the two. So now they gotta deal with Sun's dangerous way of playing and Moon always wanting to cuddle and sleep with Y/N. Cue the funny interactions between the two as they fight over who "deserves" Y/N (they're separate beings in this au btw lmao). All the meanwhile, not only did Y/N not prepare for if the spell actually worked and how they had to explain why there are two robots living with them now, but their overall possessiveness and obsession over being with them too.

Uuuh idk how to end this but basically this is them in a nutshell
