Hi, it’s me, the asker who was so curious about Danny at school ✨

I got three things to say, silly thing first, 1. I’m so curious about what Danny’s diet is gonna be. I was rereading that chapter, and if Vlad has to eat meat to stoke the flames, does that mean Danny has to go vegetarian? That would be so fucking funny, I’m ngl 😂 but also sad, bc then he’d be thinking about Sam all the time 🥺 anyways, I’m just interested to see what you do with it 👀

2. You got me thinking about enemies to lovers, hardcore. And I realized, when I enjoy that kind of ship, I’m not here to see them become all lovey-dovey and domestic. I’m here to see the pain, and the toxicity, and the deep codependency of it all. The ‘I hate you, but I can’t leave you’, and the ‘you might kill me one day, and I embrace that.’ If you’ve watched Hannibal, you know exactly what I mean 😂 For Vlad and Danny, I don’t really give a fuck if it’s pompep or badgercereal, i just want angst and codependency 😈 I think that’s part of what I like about your story so much, is that it’s toeing the line between the two relationships. Halfway parental, and halfway toxic/romantic love.

3. You’ve fucking ruined me for other fanfiction rn 😭😂 I can’t read anything else for more than five minutes 🥲 Partially bc I’m so invested in the story, but also bc your writing style IS SO FUCKING GOOD. YOU SHOULD BE WRITING ACTUAL BOOKS, LIKE WTF. Anywayyysss, I’ll just curl up into a little ball of boredom on the floor till you update again 😂💕

Sending much looooove, 😘 I hope the brain to fanfic pipeline is working out for you 🤌

Hello and holy shit! What an ego-bloating kind and generous ask this is! Let me jump right in:

1. I don't want to spoil the plot too much, but Danny's diet is going to be key in unraveling a very important part of Vlad's enigma, and I cannot wait to get to that point. I've been sprinkling crumbs of information throughout the story thus far, laying down a foundation upon which to build this Big Thing, and the next chapter (14) will—or should, anyway—finally begin to deliver on it.

2. My friend, you've just given me an epiphany: it's not so much Enemies to Lovers that we adore, I suspect, as it is Enemies and Lovers. That's exactly the tag I'd use to describe Hannigram, and it's such a different and exciting dynamic. I've never quite—well, scratch that—okay, I've never written Enemies and Lovers in such depth as I am with Familiar. There's something darkly satisfying about letting lovers remain ugly; the notion that deep, abiding affection can exist in tandem with fear and disgust; that even monsters—in the very act of being monstrous, or perhaps because they are monstrous and not in spite of their monstrosity—are capable of loving and being loved.

3. Frhgahrglahrglahg I'm going to print and frame this one and hang it on my wall for days when I feel utterly inept. I've been writing fanfiction for a while now, and I've written volumes of silly, embarrassing, poorly-executed tripe, so if I haven't at least gotten a little bit good at what I'm doing, I doubt I ever will 😆 That said, I'm putting a lot of effort into Familiar, I mean pulling out every stop and employing every nut and bolt in my mental toolbox to craft a good story (and reading. Always reading), partly as a challenge to myself and partly out of sheer love for this great ship and its fandom. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming and awesome. I only hope my tiny contribution continues to entertain.

Speaking of which, the wait for this next chapter shouldn't be long. The feedback I've been receiving is phenomenal, and it's definitely helped to fuel me along when my mania wavers. I'm incredibly grateful to you and everyone reading enjoying this story. Thank you thank you ♥

Thank you for the tag @alienfuckeronmain, this was fun! 💜💜💜

First Ship: Hmm probably Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger? I don't really remember, I just know they're one of the first pairings I saw where I actively said, approximately, "Yes, them, they're cute together;" as opposed to just, "Yeah they're the couple I'm supposed to be rooting for so I'm rooting for them."

First OTP: I'm going to define this as the ship that actually got to me enough that I was like, "a tumblr account sounds like a good idea," and that's going to have to be destiel. I related very much to Dean (in large part because of his relationship with Sam, because I also have a sibling that I'm codependent with to the point where I thought Sam and Dean were not at all destructive in what they'd do for each other), and then the angel became my favorite character and I liked the few onscreen interactions I saw (I've seen like. maybe a season's worth of episodes, all scattered) very much and boom. Tumblr account made and also the beginning of my learning everything through tumblr osmosis. 😂

Current favorite ship: Lawrusso. Bread and butter babeyyyy I want those whores to get married in their gis and then rip them off each other.

Your ship since the first minute: Troy and Abed from Community. I first saw clips of them being very gay and I was like, "oh excellent," and then I started watching the show and I saw how they started out and I was like, "OH EXCELLENT SLOW BURN MAYHAPS?" And tbh it kind of is gjjjhg.

Ships you wish had been endgame: Hyde and Jackie from That 70s Show. I love them so much and honestly I think if they had just remained single I could have been ok, but then Jackie ended up with Fez and so naturally I doubled down on my wishes. I am made of spite.

Ship you wish was canon: Hmmm I'm gonna go with Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds. I love the fun, flirty, yet deep and supportive friendship they had, and I would have loved to see how that translated into a romantic relationship. It wouldn't have even needed to be endgame, I just wish we could have had a chance to see it (and I just know they'd be super amicable exes whose friendship is probably even stronger after they break up). Also "baby girl" lives rent free in my head don't @ me.

Ship that most of the fandom hates but you love: I don't think I've ever shipped something the fandom hated actually? Usually I don't even really get into rare pairs, much less something most of the fandom dislikes.

You don't even watch the show, but you ship it: Tom and Greg from Succession. Terrible little men doing their terrible little business and family betrayal things. That's some good shit.

Ship you wish had a different storyline: Finnpoe, not just as a ship but their characters in general. Just. So much missed potential rip. Wish I could live in Oscar Isaac's head because I just know he has thought about what could have been.

Favorite ship that's endgame: Jimmy and Gretchen from You're the Worst. My fail people who somehow make a great couple. My toxic little assholes who deserve nothing except maybe each other and the life they manage to build. They truly are the worst, and not even in an evil way. They're just every day straight up terrible people and I love the ending they got like talk about redefining what love and commitment means to you and your partner. 🤌

Ship you initially didn't think you would get into: Sam and Tory. I think it originally wasnt my cup of tea because I didn't have the full context of their interactions, like at first I thought Tory just hated Sam and truly wanted to kill her, and that only really works for me if its mutual. Then I learned about the whole Miguel thing and the "Sam accusing Tory of stealing" thing and the classism thing and the Aisha of it all and a switch flipped in my head suddenly and I was like 👅👅👅. Also I was devoting most of my brainpower to the adult ships and wasn't sparing much thought to the teenagers, so there's that.

Ship you lost interest in: I don't think I've ever really lost interest in any ships I've had? Like they all have the potential to fully suck me back in. Once they've lived rent free in my head they have a standing invitation to kill me again.

I'll tag @rvspberry, @anicety, @firstgreen, @scaperanya, @trinityofone, and @ceruleangold
