i think id read anything uu write tobe honbest

HONORED. if i ever get around to writing for dih (despair induced hope..) you will be the FIRST to know. the absolute first

For the Writing Meta Asks 1, 6, 7, 10, and 20?

Thank you!!! Under the cut because this got way too long. 

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

I am currently working on a few scenes of Blair’s canon! One where she goes supernova, one where she first joined the Legends, and the other is when Jax is seriously hurt and they capture Vandal Savage. I love her interacting with Martin, Jax, and Ray. But also her, Leonard, and Mick can be a lot of fun too. It’s like writing the nice fun part of a horror movie or a drama before everything goes really really bad. Blair’s canon is up and down, and sure, she’s witnessed some bad stuff, but Leonard disappearing is just the first of the losses she suffers. But I’m almost done with the supernova piece! So that’s exciting! 

6. What character do you have the most fun writing?

I have so many, honestly. But so far its Blair, Veronica (Batman OC), Emma (CoD OC), Wren, Whitney, Quinn, and Dahlia. Dahlia is just...she’s something else, let me tell you. That mouth of hers and that pride? Gets her in trouble a lot, but she’s so cunning, and so very close to the Shelby boys, she’s just so much fun. Especially when she has Rosie! Wren is fun because she’s so grey of a character, so complex and very very emotional. Wren is a part of probably some of my best writing. Emma is fun because she’s such a hardass Marine and takes no shit. She’s my first OC ever, and she does what’s right no matter the cost. Writing her with Roach, Yuri, and Nikolai is just...a ride, for sure. Veronica is fun mostly because I love DC and the Batfamily. I’ve always wanted an OC that worked closely with Selina Kyle, and I have it. Luckily, I can also use her in Young Justice with @water-writings oc from time to time, because it gets interesting. Whit is fun to write because she’s so different from what I’m used to writing. But her arc is a favorite of mine, and I love her growth, especially when she kills her husband. Quinn...is an overly confident and witty character that drives Wren nuts for more than one reason. But I love it because he ties in Miller from Jacob’s story, and mixes things up a bit. He’s honestly a strong, brave character that I wasn’t expecting. Plus, he’s part Russian, and I love writing when his accent slips a bit! 

7. What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?

Oh, I have no idea. I have been told by some people that my description and show of emotion with my writing is really noticeable, some have even made the comment of it being like a scene from a movie? Because it plays out perfectly in their mind or whatnot. And I think I would say that’s accurate, and whether other people agree or not, I’m not sure. I think I focus a lot on the details to make it feel real, like you’re actually there, or you’re experiencing it right alongside my characters. I want it to feel real enough for you to connect and appreciate, if that makes sense? I do first person 99% of the time, but take a moment to make the observations that make it feel somewhat third person--just taking note of possible emotions and thoughts of others without fully knowing it that is what they’re thinking. I try to get enough detail in there to show it, but I try to also make it vague. It’s honestly a good read of the room, and the observations of the scene is always different for each character. For example, if in a dark bedroom, Wren would notice the moonlight streaming through the curtains, while Whitney would notice the type of curtain is it, and Blair would be looking at something completely different (I mean, she’s a space person, so in any normal situation probably the moon, but not in this example), like looking for a light or something to make the dark room not dark anymore. Different characters call for different observations and a different feel when being written. 

10. How would you describe your writing process?

Chaotic and torturously detail-oriented. I normally write in order, but as of the past year, I’ve done things out of order, and I jump with wherever my inspiration takes me. I take note of every detail I can for a scene, not too much to overwhelm, but enough to make it feel real...and this is embarrassing to admit, but uh...whenever there’s a scene that my character is going to be in, I go back and rewatch it for the correct dialogue, reactions, and details of movement and what actually happens in that scene. Like, the arrest of Joseph Seed, I had to make sure the wording was correct and that I had his movements timed perfectly because I am one of those people that has to have everything perfect. Luckily, I don’t have to do this too often with some of the fandoms I write in. Its the Arrowverse and Peaky Blinders that makes it more of a hassle, because there are key episodes and key scenes that are vital for Blair (Kinsley, Carmen, and Gabriel too) and Dahlia in those shows that I have to go back and capture. I just like to be thorough when I write canon scenes like that. Any other time, I’m throwing on the OC’s playlist and listening to the right songs that capture the mood I’m looking for, and go from there. Much like Blair’s supernova piece. I threw her playlist on shuffle and went for it. 

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

Okay, this is a dangerous question for me, I could go on forever. When it comes to symbolism, Whitney and Wren all day, for sure, are my favorites. Most of my symbolism for them derives from Greek mythology, Wren being Nemesis reincarnate, her being the Judge (hence my icon), the gold apple (which also ties in for Whitney as well), Whit being the Mother of Eden’s Gate and her ties to Hera, just...lots and lots of Greek mythology. There are some biblical ties there as well, but more for Whitney than Wren, and not very many. I’m always throwing in callbacks and foreshadowing in my writing though, I can’t resist. Blair once calling Leonard “Frosty the Snowman” as a joke? Yeah, that hits heavy when he “dies” and loses his memories. My writing is usually laden those, and none immediately come to mind (they will after I post this, just you watch), and it’s fun because there’s like...a moment when you’re like “hmmm, interesting”, only for it to come back a chapter or two later and make you go “omfg!!!! that’s the thing!!!” or just a callback that makes you smile, because who doesn’t love a good reference? I love them, so I throw them in where they fit. That’s a consistent throughout my writing, no matter the character or story, because there’s always something. Now, as for character and relationship development? I always get excited when I watch relationships develop, and there are always subtle but vital moments that you pick up on. Wren staying more with John, Leonard being more protective and close with Blair, Alfie taking more of an interest in Dahlia and spending more personal time with her, like...it’s the little things that shift and change. The character development is more fun for me and more personal, because it’s like investing all this time in making a plant grow, and watching proudly as it blooms. Some are more subtle than others, Wren growing more and more grey and her becoming the bad guy when you don’t really see it until it happens, Dahlia’s values shifting and changing. While others are more obvious, like Blair’s trauma affecting her and her growing as she harnesses her powers and becomes stronger. Everything I do, everything I build and create, is put together with great care and planning. Most, if not all, things happen for a reason, especially with meaning and symbolism. Sometimes I worry I go overboard, to be honest. 

🌸 🌹🌻🍀

🌸 = my roleplay petpeeve

Ok, so imma do three bc im an angry person (also none of this is directed at anyone in particular, just the vague ‘you’) and thats why it got put under the cut bc its basically me being pissy and rambling rifp:

When you say you’re oc friendly but don’t rp with A N Y ocs nor make any effort to do so even when people write a starter. This is typically canon characters too so like. Dude. If you didn’t want to RP with ocs, don’t make it seem like you’re open to it cuz you aren’t. 

Excessive formatting and box themes. Also themes without a reblog button, but that’s not often anymore. Also just caring more about aesthetics than actual rping? It makes people come off as hella shallow and then they don’t even do v much rping so why do you have it? And then their blogs are a pain in the ass to navigate cuz they’re so hard to see and their replies are annoying af to even try to /read/. 

Rp cliques! Or those things you have to like, apply and fill out a form for?? I don’t understand those cuz like. You shouldn’t have to form a group to get people to rp with you and then only do it selectively? And jfc, stop clogging up the tags!! I don’t care about your apps or w/e tf they are!! I just wanna find some more people to follow!!

PEOPLE WHO ONLY REPLY TO THE FOUR ODD PARAGRAPHS I WROTE WITH FUCKING TWO SENTENCES. I think I’ve ranted on this a couple times and I know that in my rules it says “Don’t worry about matching my length” but GODDAMN ARE YOU PUTTING ANY EFFORT IN AT A L L. I don’t even have anything to work with or any character development either!!! So what tf am I trying to write with you for?? You’re wasting my time.

🌹 = my opinion on your characterI have… conflicting emotions okay. On one hand, I love Cand cuz he’s relatable. On the other, literal garbage fire. He’s horribly complex and sometimes I wanna punch him. Usually I wanna punch him. But he’s super intriguing!! I wanna know more about him!! And I love that he’s really unexpected. Tbh he kinda reminds me of Jay sometimes, if you don’t mind me saying? They have some similar personality traits and I’m kinda curious to see what happens with them. I think they could be chaos buddies, if we get past the first meeting and Jay doesn’t piss him off too much?

🌻 = a character I wish to write withUhhh no one really? I just tend to wanna rp with people I follow and I’m p happy with where I am rn. I try not to be too impulsive when it comes to rp partners cuz I don’t want to try and write with someone who I don’t click with cuz then its not fun for me and probably not fun for them either. I think it would be kinda cool to rp in other fandoms, though? Maybe like some Wasteland placed threads cuz I miss MMFR. Or even original world (like. Original world to the muns) threads cuz I like those. Def would wanna do a star wars au with someone bc I fucking love star wars. And maybe some lowkey horror ones? Idk maybe just indie ocs with people my age or just with more people who I click with u know?

🍀 = a ship I wish to writeHhhhhh I’m not really partial to shipping? It’s not something I’m actively looking for with my muses just cuz it’s not a super big priority. And ships are weird ngl. Esp with Jay cuz she’s aro so it’s just like. Friendship with people all day every day. I do love familial relationships though. There’s a lot of explore with it esp since her and families (lmao) get kinda rocky. Either way, platonic ships are still hella great and it would be rly fun to see the shit that happens.
