Hello everyone!! Today I grow a year older :3 (and I hate it lmao) FEEL FREE TO REPLY BIRTHDAY WISHES IF YOU WANT :3

So, over the time I've come back here, I've become pretty confident and proud of my once hidden passion about sick characters, sickfics and sick comfort/whump... 🌡��

And you all have been so supportive and sweet despite my weirdness so I thank you for that. You helped me feel more confident in my otherwise weird fixation <3 So, for my birthday I thought I'd try and make up a little drawing challenge for anyone who wants to give it a try... There are soo many talented artists on this site (and in this fandom)

So... It's your turn to target your faves now. You will see how fun it is and hopefully understand why I love doing it so much. 😈🌡️

(plus it's my birthday and I require some sustenance LMAO JKJK)

But yeah anyone can join in. This is just for fun though! You don't have to if you don't want to! I think its okay to ask for some food on my birthday though...right?? X'D So if you wanna do sth for my birthday...then... 👉👈 💦

CHALLENGE BELOW~

DRAW YOUR FAVE ON A SICK DAY CHALLENGE🌡️😷🥵🤧

~~~~

(Mmmmkay, I am lying to myself when I say this isn't mostly aimed at the RainCode community... X'D Can't help myself. But anyone can join regardless of the fandom!!)

So here's the challenge and the rules!! (featuring my two main lil targets ofc :3)

Regardless of who it is, put your fave through some sickness hell >:3c I'd love to see it! Make em' as miserable as you want!

destroy them 😈 jkjk XD

If you're in the RainCode community you can target anyone, but as you know, my main targets are Yuma and Makoto. If they're also your faves and who you decide to use, that will make me extra happy!

Some tips for anyone new to drawing a sick day scenario art. A few things that make it look convincing are the following:

Pajamas or Loungewear

Messy Bed Hair

Fever flushed face w sweat or at least a red nose

Tired Eye bags

Shivery body

Ice Pack or a Compress on the head

Thermometer sticking from their mouth

LOTS OF BLANKETS

Tissues or medicine surrounding them

Tea or Soup (or both)

Those are just to name some from the top of my head. If you'd like some pointers on how to make a character look ill, check out my Fever Coloring Guide. This is for digital artists but traditional artists can try it too!

You can add injury or angst to the scene but I'd like illness to be the main focus of it.

The scene can be anything you want to, it can be fluffy and wholesome (with a caretaker) it can be angsty, or it can be silly. Its all up to you! Do it for the sake of fluff! Caretaking scenes are the best for any kind of relationship >w<

Either way, have fun with it!! I look forward to see what people make if they decide to give it a try! It doesn't even have to be a full on picture! Doodles and sketches are fine too! Just show me something >w<

(feel free to tag me and say happy b-day and mention my challenge, I am proud to be known for this and would love for many to participate :3) I wanna see you take a go at it :3 Show me your style! :D

~~~

(wow look at me misspelling the word writing on text when I did it fine with my own hands lol)

Now, I know not everyone can draw...

Well never fear! I accept writing as well! ✍️✍️✍️

(hi vivia lol sorry for giving you a cold, at least you have an excuse to read and do nothing now haha x3)

Sickfics are one of the biggest things I live for! Any little drabbles or full fics with more than one chapter are welcome! Again target who you want any fandom you want, but I'll def be super happy if you make a RainCode fic. And even happier if you target my faves as well, but again, anything will do! Just make a cute story about your fave being miserable and being tended to! Trust me, it's super fun!

You can add injury or angst to the scene but I'd like illness to be the main focus of it.

Feel free to post your writing here and tag me or mention my AO3!

If you need a start to your fic, look on my blog for illness prompts! Maybe it can help give you a good start or give some inspiration! (thats why I share 'em :3)

I look forward to anything you try to write!

That's about all!! I hope you decide to participate! ✨

Good luck, have fun, and godspeed you future whumpers! 😈

(nah jk XD)

AGAIN THIS IS FOR FUN! NO PRRSSURE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!

hello, person who followed for fandoms not your current one here! i would love to know more about that character you draw a lot (sun or moon?? not sure on the name), what are they from, etc? as much or as little as you would like to explain. i am intrigued, ive seen them around a lot for the past, idk, year or two? they seem interesting. (I will unfortunately never read/watch/play whatever media they’re from, even if it’s very good, it’s my fatal flaw sorry)

Everyone stand back. I'm putting on a business suit. I'm taking out the briefcase. I'm slicking back my hair. I've never been asked this before, hold on

They are Sun and Moon! :) Two characters, if you want to see them that way (you don't necessarily have to.) They are in the same body, so to refer to them both as a whole entity, people tend to just say "the Daycare Attendant" or the DCA.

They are from Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. Security Breach drastically differs from the other FNAF games, so while I've personally always been into the franchise, a lot of people are drawn in specifically to this game alone. It's... more open, you walk around, the characters have a lot of personality, and you're a child with missions, etc. It makes it incomparable essentially.

There is a section in the game where the child you play as (Gregory) needs to enter the Superstar Daycare. You go down the slide, you land in the ballpit, aaaand-! A sun-themed jester animatronic notices you. Sun. He's energetic, he's a solid mix of anxiety and joy. He is no threat to the player and cannot harm you, only wanting to have fun and urging you to follow the rules.

The switch in AI is light-activated. When you cause the lights to go out, Sun's rays retract, the hat comes out, and Moon now appears. He is the threat, and will chase the player. His voice is very raspy, he's the menacing laughter type, he urges you to "hidey-hide away" and sleep, as he is specifically the Naptime Attendant.

So. Ahem. I will now ask you, if you're familiar with the Sans Undertale treatment. The DCA fandom is the result of people getting very passionate about this one silly guy, or silly guys. A Security Breach subfandom. You don't have to be apart of the "DCA fandom" to love them though. It's more a matter of how someone participates, I suppose. This isn't to take away from the love the rest of the game has, but to explain that this specific side exists

You don't have to watch this, but you can take a glance if you'd like! People love them, like them, or just think they're way too creepy

youtube

There's other things, like Moon's sections, details that video above skips past (I chose a video where the person speeds through it), and the whole Eclipse thing, but I'll leave it to the essentials. This is what I've been super into <3

#ask #SORRY FOR HOW LONG THIS IS LMAO i'm going to go deep into it when this is my first time being asked that

Good morning beautiful friend! Let me tell you, I went through and read every. single. thing. on your master list over the last week or so, and holy guacamole am I obsessed! You write so eloquently ❤️ All of these amazing writers (your lovely self included of course) inspired me to start posting my own writing. I wanted to ask if you had any tips on getting started? Where do I start? What's the best way to get my work viewed, what's the best way to tag stuff? Any other tips? I have some projects I've been working on, but I wanted to ask a few people for some tips before I posted anything. I'll appreciate anything you have to offer. Hope you're having the most amazing day. You deserve someone bringing you surprise flowers, no traffic on your way home, and a lovely breeze to keep you cool 😘

Hello dear! Thank you so much for your lovely ask! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my works, and thank you for reaching out! I’ve written a few posts on writing advice so far, but I’m happy to share more. Here’s some stuff I’ve written already:

Characterization for Characters

General Fandom Writing Advice

How To Conquer Writer’s Block

And here’s a few other posts by some other folks I’ve found helpful:

Writing Inclusively

Writing for Fun

In terms of getting started, here’s some general advice:

Write the stories you want to write. I’ve said this before but I cannot emphasize it enough. I’ve seen so many writer’s get burnt out by chasing trends and changing tastes of their followers, and as a result neglect the stories that are important to them. The best works are the ones that come straight from your heart, and your own personal passions. Ignore fandom trends and stay true to your own inspirations.

Curate your own space. This means creating a blog for your writing, figuring out what you do and do not want on it, who you do and do not want to engage with, and making sure these boundaries are clear to others. A great way to do this is through an FAQ or about post. I have mine linked in my masterlist if you’d like to take a look.

Additionally- find other authors and writers you enjoy, and try to make friends! It helps to have someone to share hobbies and ideas with. Whenever I’m running short of inspiration, I often approach my other writer friends to run an idea by them, and it is extremely helpful. Finding your own community is key.

Tag appropriately. Know common triggers, and be open to folks asking you to tag stuff you perhaps forgot to mention. Some common stuff includes sexual assault, noncon, major character death, specific traumas, self harm, etc. This helps folks filter the stuff they do not wish to see from you.

Use readmore/keep reading. I try to keep my posts pretty short, giving the tags, warnings, summary, header, and a brief intro to the piece. It’s common courtesy to shorten long posts to avoid making others scroll past over 500 words. (I often dismiss fics if they break this rule, and I’m certain others do the same)

Know what to tag and not tag to get your works seen. One thing I’ve noticed about he x reader side of fandoms is that they will spam the main tags, when a lot of folks are not looking for x reader fics. I’ve stopped posting any x reader content in the mw2/cod mw2/modern warfare/mwII tags, or if I do I always include an ‘x reader’ disclaimer so folks can filter it out

Also, in terms of tags, tag only the characters included in your writing. It doesn’t happen often, but I do see folks making a fic and then tagging it as every character under the sun to get it seen. Do not do this. It is spam.

That being said, there’s a bunch of ways to get your works seen. Taking up ideas from other folks (with permission) about headcanons, participating in writing challenges (@glitterypirateduck has a FANTASTIC few writing challenges, and more to come from what I can tell) and simply tagging your works so folks can find them is a great way to get started. Also, feel free to open requests as well. I find a lot of inspiration in folks coming to me with ideas they’d like to see written.

It helps to make your works visually attractive. I spend a lot of time on headers and creating banners for my works. It’s a lot of fun! It also helps you develop a good eye for visual design, which is a useful skill in general. If you are making banners, remember to request permission from artists if you are to use their art in your designs, and respect their wishes if they say no. Also, don’t just find art from Pinterest and include it. Try to find the source and ask there.

Finally, have fun! Writing fic shouldn’t be an obligation, it should be a joy and a gift. If you aren’t having fun, what’s the point?

I know this set of advice is a little scattered, but I hope you found it helpful! Feel free to ask more questions if you’d like. I might come out with some writing tips I’ve found helpful for my own particular style, as well as a guide to some common writing tools/programs/resources I currently use, and have used in the past. I hope this helped!

#writing advice #writing resources #writing tips #writing help #Always happy to share advice! Thank you dear!#faq

9 People to Get to Know Better (Tag Game)

alright...this year I'm resolving to be more of an active participant in fandom...this year I'm resolving to be more of an active participant in fandom...thank you to @dustykneed for tagging me, I'll try to do my best with this!

3 ships you like:

Outside of the obvious (*cough*persistent star trek brainrot*cough*) I'm gonna say Winterbaron (Bucky Barnes/Zemo), Barmaro (Nick Amaro/Rafael Barba from That Cop Show That is Still Somehow Being Aired), and LinSu (Lin Chen/Mei Changsu from Nirvana in Fire aka 琅琊榜). What do these have in common? Almost nothing lol, but maybe there's an argument to be made about a common "on the surface we seem so different/present ourselves differently, but deep down we understand a part of each other in a way no one else does (whether we like/admit it or not)" dynamic.

First ship ever:

I legitimately do not remember this, but I've kept a journal/diary since I was 7, and once I went to look up the entries around when I first discovered fandom (early teens, 12-14 ish) and would you believe it, there's a page of me yelling very passionately about Spones and Mckirk, which...is just mind-boggling to me because I've always thought my first ship was Stanner (Tony Stark/Bruce Banner). So I'm still claiming Stanner, but...LMAO

Last song you heard:

...to answer this honestly, it was technically a rather...sub-par rendition of Eminem's "Rap God" by my very dear sister during last night's post new year's dinner living room karaoke. The last song that came up on my phone playlist though was apparently "San Francisco" by The Mowgli's.

Favorite childhood book:

"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" (a collection of recorded conversations between Ralph Leighton and the titular Richard Feynman)—yeah you can tell I was a fun kid 😭

Currently reading:

"The Rise of Modern Chinese Thought" (《现代中国思想的兴起》) by Wang Hui which is like...an analysis of the connection between Chinese political culture and classical Chinese philosophy. I think. I'm only like 50 pages in and I'm discovering that I may be too stupid to really understand what's going on. Also, "Like the Argonaut" by trash_heron on Ao3 which is a (still in-progress) Spones epic that's in the middle of going through all of TOS with some really interesting worldbuilding things and integration of other Trek series with the TOS events.

Currently watching:

The Bear, which I'm enjoying a lot even though I'm watching it...incredibly slowly due to constantly getting distracted by other things 😭

Currently consuming:

Leftover dimsum from breakfast/brunch 👍

Currently craving:

Bones McCoy content, always craving more Bones content 💙💙💙

Tagging (absolutely no pressure!! ...I only have like 20 mutuals so to reach 9 about half of you are being tagged I'm so sorry):

@chucktaylorupset @themf-scholar @youandthemountains @fluffy-leech @fely-v @endren @milarca @bogwarg @hopefulcanary (and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it obviously)

I try to focus on the comments I get, and I don’t want to be ungrateful. I do appreciate them more than anything. But i can’t help but rely on them *too much*, and compare them to those of other writers. Especially to yours. In any fandom I’ve ever been in, I’ve never seen anybody get the kind of feedback you get. Like people saying you change their lives, and everything. Enough that they get tattoos inspired by your work. I just don’t think I have that in me. That ability to inspire or affect readers long term—beyond just a quick read before they’re onto the next story. I don’t know if it comes down to style or energy, or if some people are just special. But I feel like if I can’t get people to feel that intensely, then maybe I should just stop writing. But I don’t want to quit. It’s like a vicious cycle, so discouraged that I don’t write, and if i don’t write, then how can i reach anybody at all?

Hello, lovely. So I've been thinking for a few days how to reply to this because I think honestly all writers feel like this at one point or another and visibility of the struggle is really important, especially when participating in fandom.

It can become very easy to get stuck on needing comments and feedback to continue and while fanfic is great for this kind of "as you go" support/encouragement it can also be really amazing to sidestep fanfic altogether for a while. Write something JUST for you. Write a book. Poetry. Anything where you're not getting feedback. Touch base with your creative self again. Fandom can be exhausting at times and we give so much of ourselves without even realising it, so if you're not feeling good about fanfic, that's an excellent sign to take a break. There have been months, years in between my participation in fandom/fic writing and I promise, taking a break is natural and healthy. Energy is cyclical and we need to replenish.

This brings me to my second point, which refers more directly to the kind things you said about me specifically. While I would not ever deny that I consider myself a capable writer and I have a lot of confidence and very passionate belief in myself, I've also been writing for a very long time, since I was twelve. I've been in fandom writing fic since i was 17. I've been writing professionally since i was 25, and I'm in my 30s now. I do tend to devote a stunning amount of time and mental energy to writing: in the past, at the expense of my health. I don't do that anymore, but it's an example of why you should never compare yourself to other writers because the situations are always so radically different. It's easy to look at statistics and think, "Why can't I do that/get that?" but the reality is that everyone is at different stages of their journey, and everyone is completely different.

I have no doubt that you're a talented writer because talented writers question themselves all the time. You have stories inside you that need to be written and told in the way that only you CAN! But they won't happen if you're worrying about comments/hit numbers, etc...

Generally, I've found that success is what happens when you're too busy to notice it. Focus on your work, on the next project, on yourself. Dig deep, branch out, love your process and expand, experiment, and remember to take a break when it's not fun anymore. Your mood is always guiding you. If you're happy, excited, and passionate, you're on track. If you're despondent, miserable, or anxious, it's time for a break. Fandom can be wonderful, but it's also the perfect breeding grounds for "comparison blues". Fanfic should make you happy.

I'm always here to offer guidance and support.

Az.

💜💜💜

My overall journey around the dsmp fandom

The land before time - I watched Quackity a whole lot, along with Wilbur (Soot House), Techno, and Schlatt

April 2020 - First time hearing of Dream Team from a Beatles fanartist, I hated them because I thought they were replacing the OGs

Rest of 2020 and up to July 2021 - I was a major anti, I didn't participate in any drama or controversy, but I hated the dsmp and all of the stans with a passion

August 2021 - Technoblade announced his cancer, I lightened up slightly on my burning hatred and started keeping up with Techno again

September 2021 to April 2022 - became best friends with a Dream stan and started to completely lighten up on my anti-ism, also got more exposure to the fandom because they would tell me all about it

May to June 2022 - Started to lurk on people's content, started watching SBI, Ranboo, Tubbo, etc, I stayed away from dteam because I knew that's where most of the controversy was from

July 2022 - I will never forget the absolute shock and pure fucking anguish I felt when I saw "so long nerds" on my recommended, I decided to finally officially join the fandom after his death, started watching DTQK+, the manhunts, and caught up on lore (the best I could)

August 2022 - Caught my first stream! Gnf pov of mcc 24, honestly just living my best life catching up on all the content- I basically watched everyone in the dsmp and wasn't even aware of any drama between the fans, also read heatwaves for the first time and became an official dnfer

September 2022 - the start of my complete and debilitating hyperfixation on the dteam as the face reveal and meetup were coming up, I was literally shitting my pants the whole month

Early October 2022 - I was absolutely on top of the world, the face reveal, meetups, twitchcon, etc etc, I was ecstatic- The face reveal was my first exposure to just how many antis there were though, and I started to keep up with more controversy

Mid to late October 2022 - ☠️

November to December 2022 - in the trenches, low on food and water, gunfire everywhere, my family was dead, my friends were dead, my legs were broken, blood everywhere, dirt in my eyes, contemplating and questioning everything

January 2023 - 100% and totally back baby! No longer in the trenches, not hyperfixated anymore so I can breathe, genuinely having fun in the fandom again and just enjoying my time here in peace- also dnf making my brain melt

#i am a baby fan goo goo ga #anway heres a silly little timeline #honestly im just so happy to be in this fandom #obviously its gotta lot of rough spots #but its taught me so much valuable things that i can genuinely use in the future #and that sounds so silly but its true #my whole view on fandom and overall internet culture has changed #having a great time #dreamwastaken #georgenotfound

Whohooo, my timer rang, it’s the 7th!🥳🤣 (At least in my country, so I hope, sending my request now is okay?👀)

First off: I wish you so so much fun with your first event. Like I already said, the idea is amazing and I’m looking forward to every single post.🥰 So, here is my soul striptease:

I’m a cisgender woman and therefore I use the pronouns she/her. I‘m bisexual but on a spectrum I tend a little bit more towards men, at least at the moment.

My favourite fandom is Hunter X Hunter and I would be more than happy about something romantic.

For characters I don‘t want to be paired with, I would say Leorio (I could only teach him some medical stuff but that’s how romantic as it would get) and the more than obvious Tonpa?!😂 And no minors oc because I‘m old.

My personality… I can find humour in everything and like to laugh a lot but at times I can be somewhat melancholic and dark-minded… which I kind of like. I‘m very adventurous and open minded and never actually judge people… each to their own, I like to say. When it comes to friendship I‘m loyal as fuck (honestly I would cover up murder for my friends) buuuut in relationships I tend to get easily bored. My s/o should have high intellect (I hate smalltalk) and somehow needs to excite me… even some drama can be quite entertaining for me from time to time. When it comes to love I’m multilingual: Physical touch, quality time and gifts are my love languages but it’s very rare that I’m verbal about my feelings. Other than that, I‘m hopelessly romantic and - when good entertained - I’m passionate and head over heels. I enjoy art in every shape or form… doesn’t matter if it’s music, visual arts or literature. Generally I just like to look at pretty things (or people) and admire their beauty (sounds kind of creepy, but I’m not a creep, just an aesthete, promise!😐) My hobby’s are singing, writing and painting, even on people’s faces, cause I‘m pretty good when it comes to make up and hair (idk why), which I enjoy doing for others. How I present myself… I have pretty long wavy black hair, light green eyes and I always always always wear black. I’m more short than tall and quite petite. My style is simple but chic, I would say. Sometimes I enjoy wearing heavy make up and statement jewellery - but that depends on my mood. Oh, and I’m the biggest Parfumjunky I know of, so I’m always smelling of at least something. When it comes to how I behave in front of others, I‘m talkative and quite extroverted. When going out or just spending time with others, I’m always the last to call it a night, cause I enjoy deep conversations so much (also, you can sleep when your dead so why taking the risk of missing something exciting?). But there are times where I need to be by myself and I need space. By others I sometimes tend to get received as cold or even arrogant at first sight (resting bitch face going strong) but when they get to know me they’re surprised how chill I actually am (or that’s what they have told me at least 😂). My quirks are definitely that I can be very impulsive (even when it comes to big decisions) and that I’m so so SO impatient. VERY IMPATIENT.🥸 When it comes to music, there’s less that I don’t like: I love metal and rock, dark classical music, sometimes even minimal and house but never ever would I listen to girlpop! (Don’t come at me Taylor 👀) And yeah, that’s that. Thank you so so much for your work und making my evenings more entertaining.♥️🖤

notes💌: hello love! happy valentine's day <333 I am SO HAPPY that you asked for hunter x hunter because it is one of my top animes! Like literally my most nostalgic and literally at the top (dont tell jjba i said that) (and a lot of people dont know that about me lol) but yes! I love this anime and had so much fun reading your matchup and thank you for participating in this event <33333

The character Cupid chooses for you this Valentine's day is...

HISOKA!

i have had a really bad brainrot for this man so thank you for the excuse to geek about him <3

you and him both have a humor that can turn dark and everyone will kinda look at you funny, but neither of you care because that's how you two get along

that's probably how you met

you told some dark joke and the entire room went silent until you saw hisoka chuckling in the corner and from there, you two were inseparable

you're both not very judgemental people and it's perfect that you arent because hisoka is A LOT and that is something that you love about him because he is willing to be a whole lot in a lil package and bring so much pizazz to the relationship

you were both really loyal friends who would do anything for each other (you have hidden bodies for him lmfao and he for you ofc) and because of that, it made your relationship so easy to start

also, i figured i'd put you with hisoka instead of someone like illumi because you will NEVER get board in a relationship with him. NEVER

you two always have something to talk about or do as a couple and you are just never complaining

THIS MAN OWNS EVERY LOVE LANGUAGE

he doesnt mind that you arent as verbal though because you give him enough of what he needs

but do expect A LOT from him

words, cuddles, flowers, acts of service, ALL OF IT <3

you two are both very romantic people who are head over heels for each other tbh lmaooo

he is definitely a piece of art to admire, that's for sure, so you get to stare at him a lot and he actually loves it. boosts his ego lmao

and he'll do the same, he'll just admire you and tell you how beautiful you are

PLEASE OH GOD PLEASE DO HIS MAKEUP

he will love you even more, which is surprising tbh

you two match all the time, even when being casual

not wearing the same clothes, but having the same aesthetic for the day

sometimes yall even clash cuz it looks awesome

you're just iconic powerhouses

he loves you so so much because you match his energy

you and him are both very much people people, so you get to enjoy A LOT of nights out together partying and just having too much fun

he will definitely give you the space you need, but honestly, he cant be away from you for too long, so he'll just stay with you in silence if you need it

cuddles are a great recharge for the two of you

*cough cough* he thinks its hot that other people think that you are kinda mean. it just means you can protect yourself. your rbf is hot to him

he knows how sweet you are thought and will never ever make you out to be a rude person

he hypes you up always

he can definitely help with the impulses and try to get you to not, but lets be real, he's just as impulsive and sometimes encourages it lmfaooo

he plays girly pop in the house to annoy you lmaoooo

but nonetheless, he loves you with all of his heart and soul and is proud to call you his partner for life <3

💌 How would he ask you to be his valentine??

this man does it in the cheesiest way possible tbh. he would make candy hearts that say will you be my valentine and lay them out on the table with chocolates, a bouquet of roses and 2 teddy bears to look like the two of you! you would come downstairs to a total surprise and hisoka would surprise sneak attack you with a hug and ask you verbally if you want to be his valentine. of course you say yes, so the man attacks you with kisses

💌 Valentine's Day Date

You and Hisoka had spend time with friends all week long and now Valentine's day was your day to spend together. You didn't want to have to go out and about and around other people, you just wanted to spend time together and be in each other's presence. "Are you almost ready, dear?" Hisoka asked, clipping on his earrings. The two of you decided to grab some drinks and then go on a late night walk together. You thought the idea was amazing and very peaceful after a long week. "Yes, I'm ready!" You came out in a black dress that suit you perfectly and Hisoka couldn't help but smile. "Oh, love," he walked over to you and grabbed both of your hands. "You look amazing." "Thank you," you said, pressing a kiss onto Hisoka's cheek, leaving a little lipstick mark. "You look amazing too." "Oh, hush." He gave you a playful smack on the arm and you two walked out the door. --- After you two grabbed a quick drink, you decided to walk around a very empty trail. You two talked for hours, just enjoying each other's company and the fresh air you had been craving all week long. You walked until you couldn't feel your legs and all you were doing was laughing and holding Hisoka's hand. "I have an idea," Hisoka said slyly when he spotted a lone lake. "Do you wanna try something?" You gave Hisoka a skeptical look, but took his hand that he outstretched to you. "Sure, why not?" Hisoka ran over to the lake and stripped down, making you blush. "Hisoka, what are you-" You were immediately covered in water as he cannonballed into the lake. He brushed his wet hair out of his eyes and laughed. "Come on, y/n!" You laughed and followed suit, jumping in the water with him. The two of you splashed around for a while and then, when you got too cold, crawled out, wrapping up in your dry clothes. You laid on the cold dirt together with your hands interlocked and looked at the stars. "I love you, Hisoka." "I love you too. Happy Valentine's day." <3

I enjoy reading your posts even if you write a book, I will definitely read it so, don’t apologize. I can’t help but feel bad about shipping ruining this fandom. We had Jin’s incident any no one even talked about it. Everyone is focused on proving the realness of their ship. I hate how the K-pop industry makes shipping a big part of the industry. I saw a lot of people saying that they feel like “killing” themselves just because of the rumors. The amount effort the Taekook shippers are putting in to debunk the rumors is scary.

The situation with Jin was absolutely terrifying, and I also saw some talk about a controversy with Coway and their contract renewal with Seokjin. There's a lot of garbage everywhere, but there's also a lot of good things going on. The release of Angel Pt. 1, Yoongi's solo tour, Namjoon's Vogue shoot, and Like Crazy becoming the most streamed song by a K-pop soloist this year ... I have quite an addiction to that song so I will ride or die for Like Crazy achievements ;)

I think that toxic shipping and prioritized fanservice is ruining the fandom -- but here's my controversial opinion -- I think that 'casual shippers' or 'literary shippers' can make a community more fun or interconnected, and I'll explain why. The Kpop industry definitely profits from fanservice, but luckily, BTS have said they don't really participate in that.

Casual shippers tend to just see someone and think, oh wow, they'd be kind of cute together, and go about their day. They're not making theories, they're not ripping other people to shreds for liking something else, and they're not promoting the ship as absolute truth. They're just sort of there, creating works of art, fiction, etc. Some of them don't even ship the members at all, they just use them as creative inspirations or outputs for their stories and/or artwork. I have nothing against fan-fictions, I have written a few, hell this Tumblr account was originally meant for me to be open about my works, whether it be fanfiction or my own original characters. I haven't published (or republished) any yet since their initial takedown, but I want to in the near future. I used to run a Twitter account dedicated to fun little writing prompts and silly little aus, but the account was wrongfully suspended during Twitter's Great Birthday Purge.

I wouldn't necessarily say that I truly 'ship' any of the BTS members, like, I'm not rooting behind the scenes for any particular pairing. I just like the creative aspect that a fandom space can provide.

Flirtaus created the Outcast au, which gained international attention and even had a whole Billboard article written about it. Filmfics also created the BTS x Dora au, which despite being incredibly humorous, brought together our fandom for many days. Also, I send my regards to that writer ... they passed away not too long ago, so I hope that they forever rest in peace. But both of the aus were trending for weeks at a time and many ARMYs still reference these works to this day.

Many fanfiction writers and artists alike have a space to practice their passions without being utterly toxic toward other people in the community. I adore Maithism's Moon Rabbit au, Little Luxray's Vampire au... these aus could be considered romantically contextualized stories, but the stories in which they tell are fantastical and beautiful... and also, these two artists are casual shippers who don't necessarily ship the members, they just like to use them as agents of creative expression.

Now I'm sure there's a proper term for this, but literary shippers... I like to classify them as people who don't necessarily ship the BTS members in a traditional respect, but in their respective fictional universes. Like, HYYH Yoonkook. People like their characterization in these fictional spaces and feel as if their fictional characters have good chemistry. I know a few people who are ride-or-die for HYYH Yoonkook, but they don't necessarily ship Yoonkook irl. I personally love HYYH Yoonkook (and HYYH in general), so I'm curious to see how the new drama YOUTH is going to portray our favorite HYYH characters. I'm not a big Chakho reader, but I do know that people quite enjoy Zeha (Jungkook's character) and Haru (Jimin's character) as a potential couple. Not because it's jikook (but let's be honest, some jikookers totally do), but because they think these two fictional interpretations of them have incredible chemistry.

Also, Stay Alive by Jungkook is a masterpiece.

I think even BigHit has caught onto the fandom's love for telling stories, so they gave us that cursed Episode-styled game for creating virtual fanfictions. They also gave us BTS World, which was more of a self-insert type of story that delved into the realms of fictional universes. Now I could go on for hours about how much I despise parts of BTS World... like why am I literally such a creep can my MC say anything normal?? Why is my character, who is an assumed adult, flirting with an underaged, predebut Jungkook? ... Well at least they gave us some banger soundtracks and some cute videos so it's not all that bad. I guess another reason why BW wasn't for me personally is that I cannot stand self-insert ANYTHING so it was a big N.O from the beginning. If I had the chance to shoot my shot with any BTS member I would pack my bags and flee the planet... no thank you, and goodnight!

But yes, there are definite pros and cons to shipping within a community. Toxic shippers, the ones who will fight tooth and nail to prove that their ship is real... are usually the ones you need to look out for. They are the ones threatening self-harm, who are spreading baseless conspiracies... but many casual shippers in the community tend to stick their own corners and go about their craft peacefully. Without the good ones, we wouldn't have gotten the iconic "why Hoseok da bus driver all of da sudden" tweet and half of the funniest lines regularly quoted by the fandom.

I didn't expect this to delve into a defense of creative shipping, but I really do believe that people can ship who they want as long as they're not freaks about it. People can disagree with me, and that's fine, I understand that we all have differing opinions and experiences.

#ask #bts ships #bts #hyyh yoonkook #my favorite tragic couple #for real i hope the youth drama is actually good #bts world is so cursed #just don't be an asshole !

any advice for someone who never wrote a fanfic before?

Writing is a skill like any other. You wouldn't expect to pick up a flute and know how to play, would you? So no matter what, just keep writing.

Beyond that, here's a few pieces of general writing advice:

- Make sure your dialogue formatting is correct. A new paragraph every time a new person speaks, proper quotation marks, etc.

- Remember your tense. If you're writing in past tense, make sure everything is in past tense. The same applies if you're writing in present tense. It's an easy mistake to make, but people will notice.

- Don't use physical descriptors in place of nouns. Like this:

"Dialogue dialogue," the raven haired man said.

It's one of the quickest ways to turn people off your work. Use pronouns or the character's name unless the reader doesn't know the character's name. Sometimes you can get away with character relationships, ("blah blah," his father said), but use them sparingly.

- In a similar vein, just use 'said.' Words like whispered, shouted, etc., should be used for emphasis, not for regular dialogue.

- Don't learn to write from reading fics. You can tell when somebody does because they use all the tropes common to fanfiction, but honestly, those aren't very good (we've had passionate debates in my discord server about whether "golden orbs" or "the bluette said" is a greater sin. There is still no agreement.)

- Run your work through Grammarly. Copy and paste it into Grammarly's word processor since that works better than their google docs extension. Even the free Grammarly will help you a lot with little grammar things you don't notice. I know it picks up typos and such for me all the time.

- Personally, I suggest checking out some nonfiction writing books too. I'm fond of Stein on Writing by Sol Stein, and The Story Graph by Shawn Coney, but most people never do that, and they write fic just fine.

- Depending on the topic you plan on writing, research. I'm serious; the number of stories I've read that just toss in a deaf character because the author likes the headcanon is insane. If you want to deal with topics like disability or social issues, you need to research.

- If you post on ao3, learn the tagging system and use it properly. For example, "/" is romantic, and "&" is platonic. In general, don't use both for the same two characters.

- This is an excellent master list of writing advice by tumblr user she-who-fights-and-writes. Not all of it will apply to fic writing, but the basics are the same.

None writing but still important things:

- You'll never be happy if you compare your work to others. You can look at your pieces all day and wonder why they don't sound right or feel right or why it isn't like your favourite fic author, and it won't to make a difference.

- Coming off that, jealousy is a natural part of being involved in a skill-based community, but don't let it sour your friendships or make you bitter. I've seen it happen, and it makes everybody involved feel shitty. Meet people with kindness and move on, even if you think they don't deserve their popularity.

- Make friends! Fandom is a community. Authors should make friends with each other and with their readers. They should participate in the community by leaving comments on fics, reblogging art on social media, etc. This is supposed to be fun, so let it be.

- It is illegal to earn money off fan works. Don't mention anything to do with money on ao3. Don't link a kofi, paypal, say a work was a commission, etc. It breaks the terms of service.

- Just be kind and have fun.

(anon who likes Artemis Fowl and the Discworld)

I'm sure a lot of people think I come from a place without empathy just because I never really liked HP. But that's not true.

As a kid, I enjoyed a fantasy series that I later found out had depictions of goblins that were also antisemitic! Specifically, they were all Evil and were written as a specific antisemitic conspiracy theory. Realizing this saddened me and made me less interested in rereading my childhood favorites. I could still read them while acknowledging the flaws, but I certainly won't let them take up pbrain space, let alone fandom time, when I don't have to.

Additinally, I used to be in a fandom for a series that was overtly transphobic, colorist, homophobic, ableist... Et cetera. I was fixated on it for a long time and trying to paper over the bigoted realities of canon with progressive fanon never really worked. Eventually, I realized I was hurting myself by participating in the fandom of something that could have just been left to die. The fandoms I've moved onto in the past few years have much better source material that I can reread/relisten/rewatch without feeling stressed out.

I'm not on a high horse. I've just been there, done that and bought the t-shirt. It feels utterly bizzare to watch people let media that doesn't wholly spark joy (or contribute to their job/research, because that's fair enough) take up their free time. Not to mention, perpetuating the books' relevance doesn't only cause harm to the fans but also other people - it can't be fun justifying your hobby to yourself and others all the time.

(note to commenters: don't "you're ableist because my autism/adhd made me join the HP fandom" me because I also have autism + symptoms of ADHD)

This still sounds like the passion of the converted.

A lot of other people have complicated relationships to HP or whatever beloved childhood media that turns out to have shitty subtext. What they typically object to is the tone of "I have thought about this and assume you have not".

Let's see...

💎 🪄 ☯️ for the ask game!!!!

💎why is writing important to you?

I've said this in a few other asks, but writing is just something I feel like i'm supposed to do. it's how I express myself creatively. it's how I make sense of the world around me and it's just a thing that drives me like nothing else. i've never had the same level of passion and dedication to improve a craft like I have with writing. it just means a lot to me, y'know?

🪄what is your post-writing/sharing aftercare? How do you take care of yourself or celebrate yourself when you've finished a fic?

well usually after posting something unless I really want to write, I'll give myself the day off from writing (of course I take days off when I haven't just written something, but I don't have the same nagging "you should be writing" hanging in the back of my head on posting days). a lot of times this leads to me needing something else to fill my evenings with, so a lot of times I end up cooking! let's see, for finishing strings today I: steamed artichokes and made a really good mayo lemon garlic based dipping sauce for them, made pasta and baked asparagus, and now I just took a blueberry pie out of the oven :) treating myself with good eats tonight

☯️how do you think engaging with each other through tumblr, twitter, comments, kudos, creates healthy fandom experiences? How do you deal with that if you're not a social person/experience social anxiety?

fandom is a community. its' always been a community, and a community is a group of people that interact with each other over a shared experience/hobby/interest/etc. if people are making content for a community, it's only expected that they receive 'payment' of some kind, which in the case of fanfics is through kudos and comments. and similarly with with fanart, RTs/reblogs are currency, along with replies! it's engaging in the community to keep it alive. you can't have a community of people if it's dead silent. with less traditional forms of content like analysis creating discussion is another great way to engage in the community. and then of course there's just standard having conversations with people you meet on twitter/tumblr and making friends!

if you have social anxiety, you don't need to feel guilty if you're not contributing to analysis discussion or dming your mutuals on social media. but there's silent ways to participate! again, like leaving kudos on a fic or reblogging fanart. i love tumblr because the tag system lets me ramble a ton of thoughts about my reblogs that I feel too awkward or anxious to actually put in the replies. to me, talking in tags feels like talking mostly to myself, but in a way that the creator can see it if they want but it's not creating an expectation for anyone to actually read my tags. so I highly encourage talking in tags when you reblog stuff. or of course people can do what you've done here and send anonymous asks! I mean, I have a whole group of named anons on my blog. so using the anon feature can definitely help with anxiety as well.

either way, if you want to be a lurker that's ok, but I encourage you to try and participate in fandom because it's just more fun for everyone that way! even if your support is silent, reblogging art you like or leaving a kudos on a fic you enjoyed does so much more than just scrolling past things and never letting the creator know you appreciated it.

ask game!

Just stopping by to say that your Hyth content is AMAZING. I love reading your takes on him so much, but I was wondering why you make things unrebloggable

hi anon! thank you very much ;w;

the reason i make a lot of my meta/headcanons unrebloggable is because i don't want to deal with some rando swooping in and deciding to turn my meta posts into discourse or some kind of debate. for the most part, i put a lot of thought into what i do. i totally understand that other people having different takes on the same character, that's part of being a human being and participating in fandom, but i also feel like it's SUPER disrespectful to reblog a long passionate dissertation someone wrote on their fav just get in their 5 cents of "well actually..." or " i think...." when the proper way to go about this would be to just make your own post detailing your thoughts on the subject, (and preferrably in a way that doesn't come off as negative vagueposting to boot.) a lot of people really don't seem to understand this, and there's an extra layer of shittiness to it when my posts featuring headcanons about disablities, int.ersexuality, etc. are suddenly met with a "well actually" by whyte/abled/perisex people. worse yet are people who will just take unique headcanons and treat me as a pinterest board to be cherry picked from rather than a human being whose thoughts and work are worthy of respect and proper engagement.

anyway i'm sorry i sound very bitter abt this but i've just had too many shitty experiences in this regard. i'm grateful that you appreciate my work, but my blog has also never been about getting followers and recieving engagement. i'm here to write, share stuff, and have fun with a small circle of people whom i trust and that's pretty much the size of it.

📡🎈 for the writing ask game!!

Super interested especially in the style one because it’s always fun to hear how people see their own writing!

(For this ask game)

📡: Why is writing and sharing your writing important for fandom?

I've been involved in fandom spaces for most of my life, and it's always been something I've been really passionate about, but a lot of that time was spent as sort of a passive lurker. I engaged with other people's content online and went to local cons every now and again, but I always wanted to actually create something myself and feel more involved with fandoms, I guess. I actually had a bit of a run with this in the Danganronpa fandom (I was a voice actor in an unfortunately never released and now defunct Fangan podcast), and that got me thinking about what I could do to engage with fandom more. I've always written fanfic, but it took until a short time after I left the DR fandom and got stuck in JoJo Hell, which was my first year of college, to work up the courage to actually post it.

All this to say, writing and sharing fics makes me feel like an active part of a community. I've made a lot of friends through it, had opportunities to work on some incredible fan projects, and, honestly, the past four years in the JJBA fandom have been the most fun I've had in any fandom. Plus, I think of it as sort of paying homage to this series that I love so dearly. Idk. My work probably isn't all that important to fandom as a whole, but I'm definitely having a good time participating :]

🎈 Describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? Does it change?

That's a hard one, actually. It definitely changes depending on the mood I'm going for, and it's obviously changed over the years (it's actually funny reading back older fics sometimes, because I can tell when certain writing workshops or creative breakthroughs in my academic life bled over into my hobby writing). I'd say my writing is heavily character-driven; while that comes with the medium in fanfiction, my original fiction and creative nonfiction tend to be like that, too. What details I focus on while narrating a scene, and which ones I overlook, should say something about the POV character. Stylistically, I love playing with sentence length. Sentence fragments and run-on sentences are my best friends, and I love you polysyndeton <3 (I notice I used to be really into asyndeton, too, but not so much anymore). The character-driven-ness carries over into the style, too; I tend to get a bit more purple prose-y with Giorno than I do Mista, for example. And I use almost exclusively present tense in my writing now, because I want everything to feel more immediate and immersive - more like watching a scene unfold in real time than recalling a memory, if that makes sense. I actually wanted to be a screenwriter at one point in my life; I guess I could describe my style with regard to that, in a way? Trying to write a film onto a page? Something like that.

#sorry my answer for the style thing isn't super coherent. it's not something i think about much but definitely something i will now!!

Fanfiction of 2022 - Year in Review!

I like to do this every year just so it feels like I really got up to something. :D

Total number of completed stories: 13! (Er, if you count the one chapter of a Jane Eyre rewrite I posted for some reason in a fit of writer’s block madness. Which I shouldn’t, because it’s not complete. But I will anyway!)

Total Word Count: 32,000

Fandoms Written In: Jurassic Park, Killing Eve, Our Flag Means Death, Ted Lasso, Glass Onion, and Jane Eyre

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected?: More, because this was a stressful personal year and I truly didn’t expect to write any at all. At the start of the year I was like, “You know what? This is just never gonna happen and that’s okay.” But I still busted some out when the fangirl inspiration overtook me, yay!

What’s your own favorite story of the year? I am torn between my Jurassic Park fic “and he feels like home”, my Ted Lasso fic “forget your troubles (come on, get happy)”, and my OFMD fic “my love a beacon in the night.” It’s a tie!

Did you take any writing risks this year? I participated in GrantlerFest with my Alan/Ellie fic “for me there is no other”, which I believe was the first time I’ve ever written a fic like that for a challenge in my 20+ year fanfic-writing career! I’m such a commitmentphobe when it comes to stuff like that, haha. And it wound up being a lot of fun! Year of Grantler, huzzah!

Do you have any fanfic or original fic goals for the new year? Fanfic: Just keep writing one-shots for fun when the spirit moves me! I do feel like I should write a Gilmore Girls fic this next year at some point just because it feels so weird that I didn’t in 2022.

Original fic: I have a few novel drafts I really want to get back to strengthening so I can do something with them; I feel like they deserve something better than just being an ignored file on my computer after the years of work I put into them! (Even though I’m really lazy and just letting them sit there forever is my natural impulse.) I also would potentially like to write a new novel project since it’s been a few years since my last. I think I’m going to try a comedy since I really want to hang out in silly land these days.

My Best-Written Story: I think my OFMD fic “my love a beacon in the night” is, because it was a long time coming and because I worked on it really hard for longer than I usually do with fic! I wanted to do an “Oh my God, what happens after season one, how could you possibly fix this” fic like right after s1 ended in March, but somehow it took like the rest of the year and five or so rewatches for me to reach the point where I could actually write about it.

Story Most Underappreciated by the Universe: Just based on my own sort of irrational personal feelings, I’d say the same story as above, “my love a beacon in the night”! I think because I posted it so long after season one aired, the fandom excitement has maybe kind of cooled somewhat. It was just one of those fics where I felt like I was really putting a lot of ideas into the writing (rather than a more standard, like, simple bantery cute fic), and I suuuuper passionately cared about all those ideas just because I am so crazy emotionally invested in Ed and Stede, so I was curious to find out what other fans of the show would think about it. However: I did still get incredibly kind comments on it and it was wonderful to read people’s thoughts! In my dream life its reach would’ve just been a bit further because I’m just, like, itchy for interaction about that fic.

Most Popular: Coming in and clobbering all competition right at the end of the year, my wee little Glass Onion coda “here’s another place you can be”! It’s definitely because I was in the right place at the right time with that one. Fandom kairos!

Before that for most of the year, it was my little Killing Eve post-finale fic “darkness bright” where Villanelle lives because WHY WOULDN’T VILLANELLE LIVE. The finale is a lie, and my tiny fanfiction is the TRUTH!

Most Fun: My Ted Lasso fic “forget your troubles (come on, get happy)” where Ted mistakenly thinks Rebecca and Beard are falling in love and has Problems with it, just because I was in a state of pure hyper romcom nonsense writing it and it was REALLY enjoyable. And the reception to it really left me over the moon!

Most Disappointing: I had a few fics that I wrote a lot of – my first attempt at a post-s1 OFMD one from back in March and a Ted Lasso one that was a sequel to my AU fic “i once was poison ivy” – that just didn’t quite come together enough to be completed. That was a bit odd for me because usually when I’ve written a few thousand words of something, that fact alone is enough to propel me to finish it and post it. But I just couldn’t quite get those ones to work! (Although I did reread the OFMD one recently and I actually thought it was pretty decent. So maybe one day I’ll try to dust it off with the disclaimer that it was written by someone whose psyche had just been entirely shattered by watching episodes 9 & 10 for the first time. I also think the Ted Lasso one probably has some good bits in it, but it was on the more melancholy side a lot of the time and I don’t think my writing works super well in the melancholy zone.)

Most Sexy: I don’t ever really write sexy stuff in the traditional sense, but I think my sexiest fic from 2022 is my post-Jurassic World Dominion Alan/Ellie fic “and he feels like home”, for the reason of: WHAT IS SEXIER THAN THEM FINALLY GETTING BACK TOGETHER AND HAVING A BLISSFUL TIME BECOMING EACH OTHER’S LIFE PARTNERS AGAIN AFTER NEARLY 3 DECADES? Nothing!!

Story With The Single Sweetest Moment: I am embarrassed to say that I have sort of a hard time picking because my fic all tends to hang out in the “and then there’s a sweet moment this has all been building toward!” zone. For the sake of brevity: I did really like the idea of Benoit Blanc being able to easily set aside the insane experiences in Glass Onion and say and genuinely mean “Wow, that’s amazing!” at Phillip finally successfully baking something. That is the original germ that grew the whole little story!

I also really liked how Ted professed his Feels to Rebecca in “forget your troubles (come on, get happy)”. That kinda snuck up on me.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: I wrote a Killing Eve fic called “you’ll never leave me” (I’m not above pulling “Tell Me” lyrics for all Killing Eve fic titles!) that was meant to sort of explain WHY Eve and Villanelle were in such a different place at the start of season four than they were when season three ended, and it did help me to feel like I could imagine a smoother bridge between the two seasons based on what both of them had going on emotionally. Even though honestly, I think the writers of actual canon were just being lazy for no reason and that sucks. Sometimes you just gotta do the work yourself, SIGH!

Biggest Surprise: Listen, I thought there was no way I would ever write fanfic for the Knives Out franchise. What could have ever compelled me to?? The answer, it turns out: Hugh Grant. Dear God, maybe he is my blorbo.

Hardest to Write: I don’t usually stick with fanfic if it’s hard to write these days, since the stakes are so low; I think the hardest time I had was writing the post-party conversation between Ed and Stede in “my love a beacon in the night,” just because it was really long and complicated and I really wanted to get it right and pick up where they’d left off with all their issues in s1. I did a lot of rewriting and reading it to myself and really trying to be able to vividly imagine each beat. I’d say I am at least 95% satisfied with it. Yeah!!

Most Unintentionally Telling: I don’t remember if I was thinking about it at the time or not, but for the general experience in my lil’ Ed/Stede fic “comfort in a bedfellow’d state” and the buzzy feelings of new love, I pulled a lot from the early days of my own relationship one million years (or, well, one decade) ago. D’awww!

Also, I feel like the fact that I started the year trying to rewrite Jane Eyre from memory says a lot about the writer’s block I was wrestling with at the time. But that’s more intentionally telling. I feel so lucky that some inspiration came along and I was still able to have fun writing fic this year!

We are excited to introduce our next shining star for the Creator Spotlight... @beesbeanie!

This is a member’s only activity where we reach out to one of the talented people in our community each month to find out all about them and their kakairu creations, and then show them off to the world!

We hope you enjoy learning about Beanie & their creations as much as we did. Please give them some love ❤️

Pronouns: They/Them

Type of Creator: Writer

Where to find them:

Twitter

Tumblr

Read the exciting interview below the cut, or on the forum!

If you would like a chance to be in the spotlight too, the only thing you have to do is be a member of the kakairu rocks forum, and be a creator; and we will contact you, ourselves!

1. How long have you been creating KakaIru fanworks?

Oh boy, I wrote my first KakaIru fic back in 2011 on LiveJournal! That makes… 11 years? I definitely read more than I wrote over the years, usually only participating in small events or exchanges rather than building fics from the ground up. Though, lately I’ve been inspired to write longer works, which is quite thrilling.

2. What are you working on right now?

I’m pausing lightly on my KKIR fics to dive into Hannibal (a fandom I have yet to tap into writing for!) But I have a really fun yakuza!Kakashi fic I’ve been working on, I’m excited to share it!

3. What is your favourite trope to create for?

Meet-cutes are some of my absolute favorite things to write, but I also really enjoy writing power plays, especially with these two. They’re both so passionate and goofy there’s a lot of room to play.

4. Which of your creations is your favourite, and why?

Oooh, right now it’s probably The Home of Hatake, my most recent fic. I had so much fun writing it and bringing Sakumo back. It really dove deep into the found family trope, which is another favorite of mine. It’s also my longest fic to date which I’m very proud of!

5. Do you have any WIPs you’re excited about?

Oh yeah, I have three right now; the yakuza!kakashi fic, a college AU, and a spooky horror creature fic. All of them are vastly different flavors.

6. Do you have any original characters? If so, tell us about them!

I actually don’t have any OCs!

7. What was your hardest piece to create, and why?

I think that would have to be A Thousand Stars, which was a gift fic for an event. I had an idea, a scene, that I wanted to encapsulate but the surrounding fic gave me a bit of a run for my money! I’m certainly happy with the end result, though.

8. Do you have any favourite scenes from something you’ve created?

In Howling for You, (spoilers lol) when Iruka is reunited with Naruto and Kakashi watches on, dumbstruck, as they cry and cling to each other, Iruka turns and says “thank you”. That was the scene in my head that propelled the whole fic!

9. Where does your inspiration come from?

I get a lot of inspiration from movies, shows, and even little spots in my own life. Most of the time my fics are born from the thought: “what if Kakashi and Iruka were in this scenario?” Though I also get a lot of inspiration from trying to find a specific type of fic to read and not being able to find it. Create what you want to see!

10. Which of your creations is the most meaningful to you, and why?

Chrysanthemum for sure. It’s one of my older works but I used it as a way to really explore Kakashi and Iruka as characters. I still go back and read it every now and again!
