THOUGHTS! What are your thoughts on the Netflix adaptation? Personally I’m enjoying it. Missing the misogyny of early Sokka since that character development is amazing. Also not the biggest fan of katara’s character. But Sokka’s actor is genuinely spot on perfect! And iroh! I love him!

In the end, it could never be perfect or live up to high expectations every one had so I’m choosing to enjoy it for what it is. Genuinely cried at the last episode so clearly I found it to be a good adaptation!

Did you like? Did you find yourself inspired to write more because of it? Because it’s lit a fire under me and I’m seriously considering my first ATLA fic because of it! (I don’t tend to write in fandoms I read in)

I found that viewing it as a fanfic style AU meant I could enjoy it without making too many comparisons to the OG. I'm okay with many of the narrative changes as it needed to be adapted for a different format. Although there were still some things I missed, and some I thought could have remained the same and still work in the LA plot.

I enjoyed the Fire Nation side of things, and I thought they gave Sokka some pretty good character motivations/development without the overt sexism. The only place really I missed that aspect of his character was how it impacted Katara. The writing of her character was the main issue I had with the adaptation. Her rage and righteous anger just wasn't there in the same way, and with it those moments that really showed her flaws - her jealousy, her spite, how her anger impacted her choices. In the OG those were things that really rounded her out as a character and contrasted with her hopeful optimism. I loved those parts of her, that she was allowed to be flawed, and I really missed them in the LA. I hope if we get a S2 that side of her personality can be explored more.

But overall,I did enjoy it as a fic-like retelling of the original, and it looked very pretty!

I wouldn't say it inspired me to write more - the writing drive was already at full throttle 😂 but it is great to hear that it has inspired others - more fic is always a good thing! And I'm really looking forward to seeing more fan works from people inspired by it!

Me [your SS], three days in a row now: I'm gonna work on this mini gift!

Me, three days in a row now: gets stuck in ADHD paralysis, has really bad pain days and has no spoons left over for creativity, fatigue acts up in spite of my meds and falls asleep at 5 pm, does no work on it at all.

Me, today: I'm totally gonna work on this, tomorrow 'cause I work a double shift today and won't have time.

We'll see how this goes lol 😂. I'm waiting til I've finished the second mini gift before handing you the first, so I can use wanting to give the finished one to you as motivation to finish this next one.

In the meantime, please enjoy these quotes of things I said in response to my beta readers' feedback and comments:

I absolutely DID google search what decimal of an hour seventeen minutes is to write this line

Conan: 🤓🥸

Saguru: 🤨

Kaito in the background giggling: 🧐🤣🤦

Anyway hope you had a great week! I'm dying to show you your first mini gift (and see your reaction to it!)

HHSHGHJ OH GOODNESS. Minigifts.... I sincerely look forward to them and I will make sure my reaction is worth the wait for you 😂That said please take care of yourself! Disability and chronic problems and energy drain are all so difficult to navigate.

ADHD paralysis is really getting me too, I'm excited but still so unsure what I want to give my receiver for this event! I have a lot of options at my disposal...

This entire message is really such a treat, hearing from my Secret Santa is a whole lot of the fun for me so thank you for the interaction. Take care!!! I look forward to hearing from you again soon <3

#dcmk secret santa 22 #dcmk ss 22 #vibrates #im so fckng excited hsfhgj

Hellooooo!!! How are you???

Guess what? ? Last week it was a national holiday here and we had two days off, so it was fucking awesome and god if I needed that rest😂 (I couldn't go out with Thomas but hey! nothing is perfect lmao) ( also why TF did i named him Thomas? Couldn't I come up with something better???)

Bad news is that exams started this week and I hate exams :) today we had to do a questionary 5 pages long just to have the RIGHT to take the exam... Is setting a school on fire illegal?

It hasn't been THAT bad tbh, it could be worse, and at least my friends and I are always helping each other in assignments and projects so now, besides all the studying, I don't have work accumulated rn 😎

Anyway, idk why but today i don't have motivation for absolutely anything. I have been going through my day out of spite and nothing else... I wanted to write and I couldn't concentrate, I wanted to read and I fell asleep!! And on lbaf day😭 this is so homophobic

Good thing is that I did find some time and I started writing in this... Idk how to call it... Journal? I only write there when I feel I will lose my mind if I don't, so I don't think that counts as journal

But I was reading some things from months ago and... Wow

Do you ever have those times when you are like "yeah, it's not great, but I'm sure it's not that bad, I'm just overthinking :)" and then some months go by and when you remember that you are like "wtf?? That was DEFINITELY not ok!!! I was in a really bad place!!!" ??

Well, I just had that after reading a little bit of those months. I was definitely not ok!!

Just wanted to say tlnd and lbaf were kinda like a lifesaver those times bc I remember they were the only things I looked forward to, thank you so much for that💙 I don't know how I could have managed otherwise

On an abrupt change of subject, I do have a writing question: How do you manage to be constant when you write? Like, I have been trying to stay constant bc I like having things in order, but it's just so hard sometimes....

Hope you are taking care of yourself 💙🔪

See you on Friday!!!!💚

First of all, Thomas is a fantastic name. Good choice!

Exam week is so stressful! I hope you are taking good care of yourself too! Remember to do one nice self-care thing for yourself EVERY DAY or I will sue.

(in the meantime, i will look into arson lawyers in case we need to set your school on fire!)

I'm glad my writing was a comfort to you and I totally relate to the need to have something to look forward to! Here is to finding more constants and good things in the future.

Love you so much!

I'm going on a week retreat tomorrow (barf!) but I get to spend two days next to the beach and get to sleep on a hotel bed so i will take it lol!

See ya Friday 💙

PS - I am jamming to Disney/Pixar songs right now. Here is a rec for you: Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride from Lilo and Stitch 🥺

Happy Tuesday, Aqua! 💐

For the writer asks: 3, 4, and 13.

Have a great day! 😌

Hey @tiny-wooden-robot! Happy Tuesday! There's two #3 (I just noticed that - so I'm gonna use the one no one asked yet 😂)

3. What is the longest fic you've ever wrote?

Ghosts of Christmas Past - This one is about 2.5k words, which is saying something about me. I don't write long fics, and may never write something this long ever again.

4. What is something about your writing style that you're really proud of?

That I can write smut and make it classy and not cringey.

13. What motivates you to keep writing?

Today it is spite.

#thanks for the ask

On the fic based assumption of you

What is wrong with you? Seriously, this can't be normal. How are you such a great author? Heh, got you there for a second, didn't I?

Anyway, I think you got a point that we know each other too well to analyse each other's fic to assume stuff 😅 because...I know how much you stress over a fic to get it just right, how much of a perfectionist you are and how frustrated you get if certain characters won't come out to play and others just barge in to claim space. I know this all and I love that about you and your process to gift us all the great fics you wrote, so here goes my try in looking closely at your fics:

You pay a lot of attention to details and character traits, not only when you love a character, but also when you're not that thrilled to write them and would want to personally throw them off of a cliff (😏).

Your prose and choice of words have always a deeper meaning in fic, setting the general mood, the pace of a story and the characters emotions. You make it easy to feel with the character and relate to them or at the very least understand their motivations. I think this makes you really good at detangling someones wordvomit/what they mean in convo's as much as characters possible thoughts.

The love for the fics you write is present in how much time you take to create a world, but also original characters, where it otherwise would be so easy to fling out a reader-insert that doesn't need much creating or imagination. Your dislike for those reader fics is also very present xD but that shows me you're not interested in one dimensional characters or people with a fake personality. You want to peel away all the layers of someone to know them truly, which is what you do with your characters as well. And I think that's also why we vibe so much, cause I also want to know someone beyond their fake smile.

Your love for U/H incest fics tells me you got the same issues as I do. 😆

You're a very justice oriented person, as you do so for characters who got wronged by either the show writer or other fic writers who mis-characterized them/twisted them into something they're simply not. Do love those spite-writes btw, because beautiful fic has sprung from those xD

Idk what else to say, because by now it should be obvious how much I love your writing and you as a person and if people don't see you for the wonderful human being you are, I have no clue what's wrong with them. You're helpful, sweet and really approachable and anyone who says otherwise is either outright lying, was an awful person to you or has never interacted with you at all. Much love from me to you, hon, you deserve it! 😘💕

Lisaaaaa this is too much love way too much I cannot physically cope, why are you so sweet omg. 😭🥰 We're not doing assumptions toward each other, but we're doing love letters instead? That totally checks out for us. 😂 Seriously though, this is so unbelievably nice and totally made my day -- thank you so much!

You're privy to so much of my writing process that I'm honestly laughing at how much all of this checks out, haha. The frustration is very real sometimes, but the vibe when everything finally clicks into place? So fucking good, as you know.

Details and character traits are so important to me. They're ultimately what makes a story sing, so even if I want to topple a character off a cliff I make sure that they're going off the cliff for the right reasons. 😂 I'm really touched that you think I make it easy for someone to relate to a character and understand their motives, as that's one of my biggest goals in writing. 💕 (And, yes, I apply this in regular convos too! I know what people are really saying, not easily fooled here lol.)

Gods you just had to go there on the reader inserts huh? 😂 Biggest pet peeve in all of fanfic. Don't give me the one-dimensional bullshit or the fakery -- I can't stand it in fic, I can't stand it in real life. I wanna know people beyond the image they project! Def a big reason why we vibe, we're honest that way. (Shush, girl, we don't have issues... ahem... everything perfectly normal in U/H land...)

Me? Spite-write? Never... (Who am I kidding? I love a good spite-write. I can't stand mischaracterizations and will beat them with a fic-shaped stick. One of the best compliments I ever got on my writing was that I changed somebody's mind about a character. That's the good stuff. Justice-oriented, can't stand unfair shit, can't deal with dishonesty... You really have me worked out. 😂)

I'm honestly catapulting so much love right back at you, you don't even know. And 🥺-facing about those compliments, always. I'm going to stick all of this into my pocket and look at it on crummy days. 💕

#urw answers #nice people saying nice things #I'm 🥺🥰🥺

Got a curious question for you: Cahir's sexuality. Your writing is sublime and I am delighted by how you torture him. So I'd love to pick your brains, does he love Ciri? Or maybe he goes to Kaer Morhen, finds a building full of sexy men and has an internal battle over repressed sexuality? Personally, I read him as aroace in your fics mostly but I don't want to assume!

Thank you so much for the compliment!!! ❤️

About the love thing, that is a difficult question. Actually, I had to look up what 'aroace' means 😅 In most of my stories sexuality is not really important, except for the 'Sewer Pals' series, where he definitely develops a crush on Yennefer while they are on the run together. About Ciri, I've never cared much for that rather strange infatuation (or obsession) of book Cahir with her. It's one of the weakest points in the books imo. Otherwise book Cahir is a great character. I also love Eamon Farren as Cahir, and he is definitely too old for Ciri. I truly hope they will not use this Ciri obsession from the novels as his motivation to join the hansa. So, in my stories he does not love Ciri but knows that he totally destroyed her life and wants to make amends for that by helping Geralt. Nevertheless, there are Ciri/Cahir fanfictions that are very well written and that I do like a lot. About the sexy men in Kaer Morhen, well, I guess I'm rather selfish, and as I'm female and straight, I'd definitely prefer it if Cahir were exclusively interested in women (I'd rather share him with Triss or Yen, for example, than with Eskel or Lambert 🙈). There are some Cahir/male character fanfiction stories that I did enjoy, though, in spite of that. But as I said, my fics are mostly about friendship (and torture 😂) and not love or sex, so just interpret him as you want, anything is possible.

Trollstopia Season 5 Thoughts.

Can we all agree Barb would’ve been stoked that Poppy wanted to learn more about the hard rock tribe? I’m sure she would be very happy😄❤️! Man when Holly wants something to happen she’s determined to make it so, but like seriously can’t Branch just casually make a pie every once in awhile?

Oh man my fellow techno trolls never fail to get me pumped up💙! Like seriously anything they do, I wanna do cause it just feels right! My sis and I are so going to bond over that episode. She’s classical and I’m techno so bringing them together like that is just AWESOME! As an artist I personally thought Synth’s arts were beautiful all in their own abstract way, I loved them. I seriously don’t get how someone else doing them exactly the same way makes it better.

Maybe the pop trolls should’ve mentioned to the other tribe about Snow Day when they all moved there. I’m curious to know how the rock and techno trolls would’ve thought of the cold. Techno trolls spent almost their entire lives underwater, while rock trolls lived in a volcano. I don’t think either of them would particularly like it. If anything if Techno Lagoon was frozen over, they’d be cut off for the day. Okay really Synth? You’re a techno troll who lived in a deep part of the ocean where sunlight barely could ever, if ever reach, and you’re all born with a natural bioluminescence. How the heck can you be afraid of the dark? More techno classical correspondence😄💙💛! Their swap was ironic considering I’m afraid of heights.

Holly’s pet looked a lot like my funk pet OC Wuzzy😂! Personally I wasn’t all exactly for that episode if you ask me. But at least everyone got a little friend. Val’s name is Valentina😆! Synth seems to be really good at motivational speaking😄. I guess when one has the right drive or motivation they can go beyond what they thought they could do, huh Holly.

It was great seeing more K-Pop trolls again😃! It’s true what they say, it’s hard not to shake your shimmy to K-Pop. It’s just catchy! Gust seriously your a fun sheriff but you really have to be such a sore loser and call the people you played with cheaters out of spite? If you’re going back to Lonesome Flats for a few days, say hi to Delta while you’re there. Maybe if Poppy wants the other trolls to meet trustworthy bergens she should try the ones in Bergen Town. Not solitary ones. Although it was great reminiscing on the first movie.

Their music quite frankly has magical powers all itself and it gives them theirs since they’re each a part of it. Yeah magic is real in that world! Lagoona is a VERY quick analyzer! What she did was SOOO sweet. Not too far off from when Branch decided to keep a secret for his friends sake. R and B really did have their first disagreement huh. But there’s always a better way to solve a problem and there could be more to a problem then one thinks.

Okay that tidal wave of Snug-a-Lugs was legitimately terrifying! I see where Branch gets his ability to plan ahead. That last episode made me go through FEELS!!!!! You’re Grandma loves you Branch, and she always will💙!

Now that I read your fic, I wanna write my own story for hermione, but idk how. I feel like I can't do it, cuz English is not my first language. And even if I have the books and kinda good knowledge about the series, I can't seem to write.

How did you start?

My dear anon, please correct me if I'm wrong but are you saying you feel like you are having trouble writing/outlining in general, or that you feel as though it might not sound a certain way? (Sometimes I genuinely have a hard time reading/interpreting certain things so thats not on you, i just want to make sure im answering the right question.) I sincerely hope it's not the second though cause nobody ever needs to be a master at a certain language to do what they're passionate about! (I only speak English, it's all I'm fluent in and even I have a hard time communicating in my day to day life) Hell, learning more than one language is such a hard thing and anyone who speaks more than one just amazes me!! Every time I try to go back and pick up where I left off in high school with duolingo I get so frustrated and confused, my brain just does not want to learn--not easily, anyway. And this is just an 'in general proclamation' but fuck anyone who reads the awesome work you put out and decides to crap on it and/or you because it doesn't "fit their standards". And just fuck those kinds of people in general and I will personally fist fight anyone in an alley who says otherwise--I may not be strong, or agile but I'm scrappy!

As for the HP books and writing in general, I couldn't really give you an answer im afraid. As I've mentioned, I'm not continuing that series anymore. And I'm worried I'm not gonna be much help to you on that front. I can say though what helped me start my first ever series that made me start this account and that would be--to sum it up--spite! 😂 I had an idea, I actually had the motivation and the guts to see it through, so I took a chance. And now I've met so many incredible people and made such wonderful memories and grown as a writer as well. I did not expect to love writing so much (I had never written before, other than essays in school!) and yeah, looking back on the stuff from the beginning can be a bit embarrassing but I can tell you that you'll get the same answer if you ask just anybody else about their writing. Its what we're here for, to have fun, to nurture our abilities and see what becomes of it and the great thing is you're never alone. One thing for certain, is there is ALWAYS going to be at least one person out there who is looking for what YOU are writing. That's the best advice I can leave you with I suppose, hon: write what you love and the people will follow 💞

💕💕💕 - Yurtle

I'm pissed, slightly turned on, and proud. How is he gonna just waltz into the fucking studio and do shit I can't even do yet? Doing inversions on day 1 just because he's fucking ripped?? Fuck this guy, I hope he continues pole dancing just so I can get better than him out of pure spite and hopes of him watching videos I post of me pole dancing to nct

https://youtu.be/QueS80LEptA

i was wondering how much of this is normal for a beginner, lol. johnny is just so not fair on so many levels but i love him for giving us this content. this video was definitely my after-work reward today

spite is a great motivator. once you have bested him, johnny will be asking YOU to be his new pole teacher 😌😂

~11 Questions Tag~

I was tagged by @subitoscience thank you for always being there for me!!!

Rules: Answer these 11 questions, make up some more and tag 11 as many people you would like to complete this!

I Tag: @izobee @bombus-lapidarius @sapphic-nd @kirincult @nightvisionxpixels

Questions I’ve been asked:

1) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose to live?

Menorca! It's such a pretty island and Mahon is my perfect idea of a city, quiet-ish and lots of culture. When i was a kid we would go there every summer!

2) Who’s your favourite musical composer/artist at the moment?

Agnes Obel, she is so calming and is Amazing on the piano. Green Day are great at waking me up and dodie is probably an all time favourite because she sings about things that I struggle to explain.

3) What are you studying/would you like to study at university and why?

Graphic design or some sort of prop design course. Or an art course at an art school.

4) If you could automatically become fluent in a language, which would it be?

British Sign Langauge. I am pretty much fluent but it annoys me when I can't find the right word. That or Spanish because I studied it in gcse and loved it. Would help my Menorca plan too 😂

5) Greatest achievement(s) in 2017?

Accepting my mental health more. Starting college and being honest with them from the start so I can get support rather than hiding everything then struggling.

6) Goals/Desires for 2018?

To gain more control over my mind, to become prouder of myself so hopefully I won't feel like such a failure every few weeks.

7) Are there any main reasons for your motivation/determination? If so, what are they?

Spite! I was told I'd never do anything in my life so I'm definitely going to do something. Also, all of my friends are ridiculously talented in their fields and it always inspires me to one day be as talented as them in my field.

8) If you could learn to play any instrument to a very good standard immediately what would it be?

Otamatone 😂😂 or piano. I've always loved the piano and dream of playing it but I'm yet to find time to go to the practise room at college. Maybe I'll start this week!!

9) What’s something that you truly actually like about yourself?? (Can be any type of thing!)

Ummmmmm... i like my clothes style and how one day i wear business dress and the next day I'm in a hoodie and jeans.

10) Favourite things to spend time doing?

Listening to music, analysing poems that are not on my specification instead of my actual exam poems. Writing poetry and creating installation or metal art.

11) Do you have a life motto? If so, what is it?

I have a lot!:

"This too shall pass" helps me in ny darker days and is from one of my favourite bands (Ok Go).

"Go and make interesting mistakes. Make amazing mistakes. Make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for you being here. Make good art" which Neil Gaiman said once and it stuck with me ever since. I have it written in such random places around my desk and bedroom because it means just so much.

"Today, just today." Is something my teacher emailed me when I had my breakdown because she knows I think about the future and the past and not the present when I'm freaking out. Her reassurance helps me so so much, she's my angel and devil on my shoulder since some days she helps with words like this, and some days she suggests a random adventure like 'save a load of graphics books from the skip whilst it's raining' lol.

Questions for you:

1. What's your dream job if money wasn't an issue?

2. What's your favourite poem?

3. Is there a day that really stood out to you in 2017?

4. When did you first develop your interest in what you want to do as a career?

5. What would you call your style?

6. How would your friends describe you?

7. What time do you study best?

8. Have you ever pulled an all nighter?

9. Do you have a teacher that you can joke around with/get along with best?

10. Is your school/college strict or do the teachers joke around a bit?

11. Where have you had your favourite drink ever?

Thank you for tagging me!!!
