Sense Bowser X Luigi as well as king boo X Luigi live rent free in my brain it’s become common for me when I start thinking of one head canon for a ship I also start thinking about how that would work for the other
For this head canon Luigi has trouble sleeping  what kind of ghost hunter/ex ghost hunter a.k.a. person with crippling anxiety doesn’t?
I imagine both Bowser and king boo absolutely hate that. they hate how they see their boyfriend Luigi Wide awake some nights  they also get severely frustrated when Luigi decides to bake or do some tinkering instead of just relaxing.
So with the determination of a pack of lions hunting for a meal they both have a goal In trying to find a way to help Luigi sleep.
Bowser immediately gos to Kamek and kammy Seeing if they have any information but the only thing that they recommend is whipping up a potion for him. in all honesty bowser is not too fond of that idea he doesn’t want Luigi to become dependent on magic and he knows that if you use too much of it, it could have long-term side effects. 
So he opps out and decides to go to his children instead maybe one of them have an idea after all there’s 8 of them. Even though Bowser knew that his kids would try their best in finding a way to help Luigi fell asleep he didn’t expect his kids to be so enthusiastic about it although it’s not all that surprising they’ve learned to care for him almost just as much as Bowser did.
By the end of the entire conversation there was one option that stood out to Bowser from the rest and that was compression therapy it was suggested by one of his oldest.  It’s one of the few options that didn’t seem too far-fetched. listen his kids were enthusiastic but not exactly the smartest bunch he realize that soon after Morty suggest just knocking him out with violence.
Either way one night when Bowser was heading to bed he quite literally had to drag Luigi out of the garage from whatever he was working on this time.  Before cuddling up in the bed Bowser mentions how he wants to try something new and that to tell him if it’s uncomfortable
You see, when they usually cuddle Bowser is very aware of his size so he just usually curls up next to Luigi or Luigi is the one who’s plopped on top of him not to say that Bowser‘s gonna plop his entire weight on top of Luigi no I imagine Bowser putting an arm on Luigi or head head is more than enough weight
Luigi was a little bit surprised by this but it was pleasant nonetheless he half jokingly asks Bowser if he’s trying to trap him to go to sleepbut when bowser didn’t respond his joking tone left as he ask’s again
As for king boo technically he could also do that although I don’t know if that’s quite possible sense you know… He’s a ghost
king boo has a different way of getting Luigi to fall asleep because seeing his boyfriend quite literally staying awake around the same time that him and his boos are is a bit concerning and what’s even more concerning is when he doesn’t even sleep through the morning he just stays awake maybe he’ll take a nap but it lasts like an hour or two and then he’s back up and at it
I really like the idea of king boo liking to garden it was in one of the fan fictions that I read in where he has a garden because he wants to prove to himself that he can keep something alive and that not everything he hast to do hast to deal with death. I love that concept so it must be added to more
With that being said King boo takes out A book about teas and the plants that are used to make them. He ended up making a combination of lemon balm and chamomile using honey and a bit of cream. since he knows that Luigi prefers his tea to be on the sweeter side just like his coffee.
When Luigi was first offered the tea by king boo Luigi was drying his dishes he knows he could leave it for tomorrow but since he has the time now he decided to just go on right ahead since what else would he be doing it to in the morning. luigi wasn’t surprised by the cup since this isn’t The first time that he’s received tea from him but he slightly confused by the sudden appearance it wasn’t until King Boo explained that he made this cup especially for him, to help him sleep is what surprised the fact that his partner made it specifically with him in mind made his heart flutter 
Luigi was touched by this  A big smile grows upon his face as he lets go of the dish that he was drying place his hands on the cheeks of king boo squishing the king face as he plants a kiss on his lips. it was over before King Boo could finish processing what was happening and by the time he did Luigi took the mug out of his nubbed hand taking a hefty sip with a satisfied sigh he thanks him.
Luigi and king boo decide to watch a movie as they wait to see if the tea’s purpose works. When it reached 30 minutes in King boo started to worry on whether or not if he messed up the ingredients but after 15 more minutes his attention is pulled away from the TV by The small sound of their boyfriend snoring 
King boo very carefully picks up Luigi to take him out of the screening room and into the bedroom  to let him sleep the last few hours of the night and the first few hours of the morning away

(bonus: bowser also finds out that humming helps Luigi fall asleep, king boo finds out that surrounding Luigi with pillows and blankets help out)

20 Questions for fic writers
I've been tagged by @firawren @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots and @bethanydelleman
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 149, apparently. Bear in mind, most of these are very, very short, including 3 rounds now of the February Ficlet Challenge.
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 297,078
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Frozen is the big one, also Tangled, various Jane Austen fandoms (mostly Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey), as well as Downton Abbey.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Means of Uniting Them (Pride and Prejudice)
Have You Heard? (Pride and Prejudice, something of a "prequel" to The Means of Uniting Them)
The Young Diplomat (Frozen/Tangled crossover)
Mrs. Darcy and Her Sister (Pride and Prejudice, Darcy/Jane, Bingley/Elizabeth)
What If... (Frozen canon divergence drabble collection)
5. Do you respond to comments? I do, even if it literally takes a year or two.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I suppose "Have You Heard?", at least of my works that have more readers than I have fingers and toes... (a few of my OC drabble collections are pretty angsty, but almost nobody reads those...)
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Happiest? I don't know. I haven't published most of my darker stuff, so nothing ends too badly. I suppose some of them might be a bit bittersweet.
8. Do you get hate on fics? I got some on the Darcy/Jane ficlet.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I've written a bit, and "vanilla" would probably describe it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I write a lot of crossovers. As far as the craziest, I suppose the Elsa/Darcy one...?
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? One to German and one to Russian.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I've never tried.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship? Anna/Kristoff
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Probably one of them that I haven't started posting outside of some drabbles and ficlets. Maybe I'll get around to some of them eventually. (My WWII Downton Abbey post-canon AU is probably the one I'd love to actually write a proper longfic for.)
16. What are your writing strengths? I've gotten compliments on my dialogue.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Feelings? That's where I feel weakest, anyway.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? A lot of my dialogue can be assumed to be translated from another language, but aside from a few words I never write dialogue in another language.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Frozen
20. Favourite fic you’ve written? The Young Diplomat, being the beginning of all the plot and characters that spend the most time living rent-free in my head, probably deserves this distinction.

how many works do you have on ao3?
39, I don't know what are anon'ed works, lalala
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
492,719
3. what fandoms do you write for?
Genshin... once upon a time in the ff.net days I wrote for Dragon Age, Claymore, Air Gear and Skyrim/Oblivion too, but these days a certain lesbian couple from Genshin lives rent-free in my head, y'know?
4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
BY KUDOS??? 😭 1. Dancing in circles 2. Trust in the stars 3. a gift from the stars 4. Welcome back, my Captain 5. Even if it's selfish, I still want you to stay
5. do you respond to comments?
Yes I love all comments they make me squeal because wow someone found my shit in a sea of food and went, "damn I'm gonna talk to the person who pooped this shit out!" I'm honoured. Work sometimes makes me slow but I read every comment and spend way too long thinking about how I should respond HELP
6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I... I don't do angsty endings... there is a fic with one, but it's currently locked because it's for a zine. I'll share when it's out :P
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
THAT'S EVERYTHING HELLO. ANGST WITH HAPPY ENDING MY BELOVED
8. do you get hate on fics?
probably, but I don't see it, so eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
you do not ask yunie what smut she writes.
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
i hardly write crossovers... it's enough trouble to make sure my ideas are potentially canon-compliant, nevermind making sure they could be accepted as canon for TWO universes. I wrote one for Skyrim x Genshin though. beiguang but dark brotherhood x pirate. :D
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
naur i'm not that amazing
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
sadly nope tho i would be honoured
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
nope, i've done that plenty in classes and am honestly not a fan, but i'm sure it works for people who are very in-tune!
14. what's your all time favourite ship?
beiguang. my beloved. they pulled out 500k words from me and still counting after a 10-year hiatus. amazing
15. what's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
one that's been sitting in the pile for a while... about ningguang faking her death and beidou finding out like a year later. no, i don't have anything beyond that line :(
16. what are your writing strengths?
i think i write dialogue pretty well
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
i'm often too lazy to edit, and i slack a lot on descriptions because... yeah, i'm too lazy for my own good. :/ i can also get really impatient with longer fics like i'll get angry that i'm not at the scene i really want to write, count the number of chapters i still have to do to reach there, then close the doc in rage.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
i don't really like it, because it's kinda immersion-breaking for me. i prefer to write it all in english but state that the character is speaking in xxx language instead
19. first fandom you wrote for?
Claymore, with OCs!
20. favorite fic you've written?
beiguang mafia au with their version of a happy ending. I love my beiguang twisted, obsessive and somewhat toxic

Hi again.....Thanks for answering my ask. Do you mind if I ask your top 5 (or top 10) favorite moments from any anime (can be series or movies)? Sorry if you have already answered this ask before.....
Ohhhh this ask is fun but also pretty hard to answer cuz there are so many anime I love! Anyways: SPOILERS FOR THESE SPECIFIC ANIME UNDER THE CUT: Promare, Trigun Stampede, Classicaloid, Yuuri on Ice, Moriarty the Patriot, Tiger and Bunny, Scott Pilgrim takes off, Vanitas no Carte, Naruto and DGray Man
1) The kiss of life from Promare
This and Galo saving Lio after he had been kidnapped just gives Galo and Lio as a ship major classic disney couple vibes like Sleeping Beauty or Snow White and has essentially sedimented Galolio as one of my favourite ships of all time for the rest of my days.
2) Because I am Vash the Stampede from Trigun Stampede
youtube
Literally the moment this entire series had built up towards, the two twins’ ideologies clashing and Vash proclaiming that no matter what he will always love humanity.
3) Every time Schubert says Beethoven Senpai from Classicaloid
youtube
It’s just pure comedy gold and cracks me up EVERY TIME!
4) Victuuri Proposal from Yuuri!!! on Ice
youtube
I mean…. It’s a canon gay proposal and one of the most influential queer representations in all of Anime. How could I NOT love this???
5) Live Liam from Moriarty the Patriot
youtube
I will admit this was a hard choice between the first time Liam and Sherlock meet and the "catch me if you can, Mr. Holmes” scene, but my final decision ended up being this one. Just the build up and Sherlock being too damn stubborn to even think about letting Liam become a Martyr. The speech of talking Liam out of committing suicide for the greater good and that he is not the monster he thinks he is aaaaahhhhhh i love it all. But I love this scene especially because I am a slut for characters jumping of high places to save their loved one.
6) You are not dying, Kotetsu from Tiger & Bunny
youtube
Literally the main reason why I ship these two and believe they’re in love. Just beautiful and tragic and Barnaby having learned how to cook Kotetsu’s favourite dish aaawwweeeee.
7) Wallace’s husband from Scott Pilgrim takes off
youtube
Is it the best joke in the anime? Nah there are objectively better ones out there. Does this line live rent free in my head regardless? Yes
8) That gay ass Dance Scene from Vanitas no Carte
youtube
Gay
Gay
Homosexual
Gay
9) Gaara vs. Rock Lee from Naruto
youtube
I had loved Rock Lee since the very moment he had shown up on screen the first time, but this moment right here, especially when he took off those weights, solidified him as my favourite naruto character for eternity. Just this boys unyielding determination to achieve his dream even without being able to use any ninjutsu is remarkable.
10) The Earl plays the 14th melody from Dgray Man
youtube
It’s …. Idk how to explain it, to hear a song previously associated with the hero of the show, being played slightly off key by the main antagonist sends chills down my spine.

My DC otps + short summaries on why i love them
Clois:Needs no explanation,Clark's my dad f/o and Lois is my mom f/o so it's only natural this is my top pick.Also love me some himbo x mean bisexual girl ships
Konbart:I think this was the first DC mlm ship i started shipping by actually reading comics?The fandom definitely helped but i saw something between them not too far into reading 90s YJ for the first time.Falls into my fave mlm trope too,that being guy who's seen as cool as fuck x guy who's ignored and/or seen as lame,and i see tons of transmasc4transmasc content for them and most Bart stans main it so it was easy for me to fall in love with it after seeing so much of it
Helstarr:Sapphic Bat x Super ship so it instantly peaked my interest and i'm very happy that i've read up on their relathionship and their individual characters cause all three are underrated asf.Giving grumpy goth gf x bubbly sunshine gf and transfem4transfem swag(Karen is a also bicon imo and ain't no way Helena's not a butch lesbian)
Mia/Natasha/Traci:Supergirls ot3,Supergirls ot3,Supergirls ot3!!!They balance and bounce off eachother so well💕💕💕That one panel of them all snuggling together lives in my head rent free
Kara x Diana(DC Superhero Girls 2019):An incredibly cute 'opposites attract' dynamic they got going on there!!C'mon,let the rebel butch lesbian date her golden girl bi femme bestie :/
Brutalina:Adore all three ships individually and can never pick a favorite so my solution is that they all have two hands and that the Batkids can have two moms.As a treat
Dickkory:I was an og Teen Titans cartoon kid so of course i was overjoyed when i found out their legendary comics dynamic,especially Dick being romani and Kory's black-coding(her even more so because she'd always been tied with Raven as my fave).T4T Bi4Bi Autistic4Autistic Brown4Black rep aka the exact kind i need
Starrae:Also a nostalgia thing,however unlike with Robstar i never came across content of them when i was younger so i didn't start shipping them until i got back into the show and i appreciate their dynamic tenfold now.Just like me and my gf FRRRRRRRR
Timsteph:They're tons like Todomomo so when i started reading for them,i loved them instantly like it became my comfort ship so fast.Idk if this is rude,you're really weird if you're an adult and you call their dynamic abusive,they were kids,not monsters.One of the best m/f ships out there to me
Stephcass:I love love LOVE their parallels to eachother and all the kindness and sadness and fun and all kinds of emotions inbetween them,i NEED it to be canon cause they're perfect together in literally every way.Plus classical goth x pastel punk >>>>>
Damimaps:We deserve another Robin4Robin ship(that's NOT batcest tyvm!!!)and they're so good for eachother and wholesome together!!Let Maps be a canon Robin DC!!!
Nell/Surren:Pure self-indulgence,they're both members of my verse's Damian's Teen Titans generation and i thrive off asshole with a heart of gold guy/soft uwu sunshine girl ships
Rosecassie:Oh,so you say they're rivals because they're both girls,DC?Then,it sure would be a shame if i were to ship them and make them enemies to frenemies to lovers instead :) I'm sexier than you
Wallinda:Wally belongs to woc /hj No but fr their dynamic is so sweet and i love just all their vibes
Mar'iian:Purple x blue,catgirl4catgirl,artist gfs,alien and human AND both biracial?It's the ship of dreams for me!!And their parents would be so happy to be legally family!!

20 Questions For Fic Writers
Thanks for tagging me @marley-manson! <3
I would tag people but it's late and my brain is tired so literally, PLEASE just adopt this tag meme if you see it and read the whole thing. You have my full permission to say I tagged you, even if we've never spoken lol. Go for it, be audacious.
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
Tumblr media
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
43,487!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Well the posted fic is a Berserk fic, but I have various other wips that I pick away at when I'm bored. Among them include Eyeshield 21, MDZS, RotE, Harry Potter (technically?). Those are the most recent ones anyway.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Chain of Dissent, she's my favorite fic <3 (she's my only fic)
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yeah I try to! Though I'll admit uhhhh I haven't updated it in... fucking? two years? god, and so I've been bad about responding to the more recent comments because I feel guilty for not updating in so long :') Really gotta get back to it.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
None, because I haven't finished a fic yet lol
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Tumblr media
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not so far! I've gotten a couple of comments that come across as unintentionally mildly rude, but definitely nothing that constitutes as hate.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Well not so far in CoD, but, ahem, I have written smut in one of my wips lol. Deeply self indulgent but I guess character driven? It's mildly nasty and desperate <3
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I haven't actually written a crossover (yet. well, recently) but they are a bit of a passion of mine lmao. I love ridiculous crossovers, and I'm talking about "a magical portal opens up and throws characters from fandom A into the world (& characters) of fandom B" type shit. I don't need the ways in which the characters interact to make sense, I just want them to be thrown together and see where it goes from there. Fish out of water shenanigans! Characters questioning their own motivations and idea of life by seeing a world entirely different from theirs!! Just like, fun shit! I also absolutely don't need for the two fandoms to be similar lol. I have a somewhat detailed Berserk/Eyeshield 21 crossover living rent free in my head so clearly anything goes.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Lol no.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
I'll probably have to say GriffGuts, because it's a ship that's gripped me by the neck for the past 7 years or something, where my interest in it hasn't really waned.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Uhhhh, idk? I mean I am DETERMINED to finish CoD, so that's out. And the wips I write in my spare time are just like, things I do for fun where I don't put any pressure on myself over it. I'm not planning on posting them anywhere, and I'm not generally planning on 'finishing' them either. I mean if I do finish one, I might post it, but again, they're low key things that I'm not taking too seriously.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Hm. I honestly don't consider myself a very strong writer, at least in terms of things like prose and sentence structure, grammar, that sort of thing. I think I'm pretty decent at figuring out the direction that I want the story to go, and all the individual steps that need to happen to get to that point in a way that feels organic (at least, imo.) And I like to think I'm pretty good at characterization-- having the characters behaving and reacting in ways that feel like could concievably happen in canon is generally what I'm going for.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Yeah prose, lol. I mean, I don't actually dislike my more.... utilitarian writing style, mainly because I generally prefer reading more direct writing (unless the lyrical writing is really really good), but I do think I could inject some more illustrative details and metaphors into my writing overall. @marley-manson is SO good at coming up with perfect metaphors to describe a situation or feeling, all while perfectly recreating the character's voice, and I really admire that about her writing!
I also want to get better with having characters like, doing things while they're talking. I find a lot of the conversations I write happen between characters just kind of standing around, which obviously is fine but I'd like to construct scenes with a bit more specificity in the future.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Wait so like, say in a fic that is otherwise written in English, having a line of dialogue written in Spanish when a character is speaking it? I... don't have strong feelings about it one way or the other I guess lol. I mean ideally the line(s) written in the other language are correct lol, and not just badly google translated or something.
Though you know, now that I think about it, I feel like it would work best between languages that use the same alphabet (which does end up narrowing the possible languages down quite a lot) because that way the reader can still sound out the dialogue even if the don't understand the language, which could emulate what the pov character is experiencing. Whereas if it was a fic written in English, and then had a line written in, say, Japanese, the reader wouldn't even be able to sound it out so it's kind of a brick wall. (Unless there's footnotes, but that tends to be a little more clunky in fic than in a published book with pages).
If the readers are supposed to understand the dialogue written in another language, like two characters suddenly start speaking in said other language and we're meant to keep up with the conversation, then I feel like it's just easier to translate their words in whatever language the fic is written in otherwise.
But yeah idk, I think with intent and good execution, anything can work, but it could also be done in a way that's more annoying than anything.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I think. It was neopets LMFAO. I remember writing a fic when I was like 10 about Hannah (the adventurer) and Jacques (from the maraqua plot comic) as a romantic couple because I was annoyed at the time that there were multiple fics about Hannah and Garin (or whatever his name was, also from the maraqua plot) getting together even though I thought Garin was BORING and they were just shipped together because they were both usuls (which are overrated imho), even though Jacque was obviously better.
... I may have had a crush on Jacques.
But the first fic that I think I posted anywhere was for Xiaolin Showdown lmfao, probably also when I was 10 or 11 or something. I wrote like four separate fics for that show.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Yeah it's CoD lol. It's the longest thing I've written so far, and I'm overall still very proud of it. I'd probably go back and change some things in the first chapter because it reads a little clunky and like, abrupt to me now, but I'm not doing that until I finish the fic. Allowing myself to go back and edit stuff before I've even finished the story seems like a road to ruin lol.

For the critical role ask meme: 15 and 30.
Or, if you want to be spicy: 5 and 11. 👀
Or any combination of the above :)
15: Favorite one-on-one conversation (can be between two PCs, or a PC and NPC).
Caleb and Fjord in episode 62, Domestic Respite. That has been my favorite conversation since I first heard it and it still is. Caleb's "We can remake ourselves into something better" is, to me, the thesis of what the Mighty Nein campaign is about. That is The Ultimate conversation for me.
I do want to shout out Beau and Caleb's one-on-one in episode 57 though, too, because I do genuinely love that conversation and how it so viscerally feels like a turning point in their relationship and the campaign as a whole. Also Beau saying "You don't have to thank me for my time like you're a social worker" and then giving Caleb just a really long awkward hug lives in my head rent free
30: What is your favorite theory or headcanon that has absolutely no bearing on the plot and isn't important at all, but which is completely compliant with canon?
Okay as far as I am aware, this is canon compliant and if it's not don't tell me let me live in it, but it's "Eshteross is Fjord's dad." I have tethered myself to that theory. I am it's cheerleader. The only one who can take this from me is Matt
5: Meta you would write if you did not fear people would be SUPER weird about it. This is also an invitation to write that meta and block the haters.
Oh boy. there's quite a few honestly. But first that comes to mind is an expansion of that very brief (not maintagged) post I made exploring why Imogen has frustrated me as a character and despite wanting to like her, I really just find myself unable to connect with her. In conjunction with this, I think there is something to be said about Imogen and Laudna's relationship holding each other back from developing more. Something about the way they always reach for each feels like a stagnation of their developments that just leaves me wishing we could see them interact with more members of the group more often or to, honestly, see their codependency come up as a topic/be addressed in canon or sever more than it has to date.
It's like you know that conversation Nott and Caleb had in c2e46: Caleb said, "lately, I've gotten a little wrapped up in the group. I've forgotten about us. I've forgotten." And that's an interesting character beat! It'd be something different from the same homogeneity that their relationship has been dawdling in. The rock fight is the most interesting thing that's happened between them and that didn't even get all that heated or really change anything! Like not to abandon all attempts at maintaining a formal discussion on the topic, but I am emotionally poking their relationship with a stick saying "do something already"
okay. that felt good to get out. now ANOTHER THING
Honestly, I feel like a very long meta could be written about the way that fandom had pigeonholed Veth a "Mother" that doesn't actually leave room for her to be a person. I have seen so many people boil down her character to nothing more than a "mom," as if that's a character trait and not just something that she is. Like, yeah, she IS a mom. But "mom" isn't a personality and I don't know why the fandom treats it like one, and then goes so far as to continually behave like Veth is not just Luc's mom but Caleb's too, which she has not only repeatedly said she is NOT, but has openly and canonically admitted to having romantic/sexual attraction to him to the point where I'm like.......what do you think mothers are like? And that's not even about shipping. Shipping goggles are off, friends. That's about ignoring canon and vital character details that contribute to Veth's overall character arc that are willfully forgotten. And man, does that grind my gears.
Okay that's probably enough salt (this got long, sorry) and I can't think of anything off the top of my head for 11, but if something comes up I might add it.
Thanks for the questions!!
Weirdly specific ask meme!

i wanna know YOUR top 5 d20 seasons now 👀 but also top 5 trek femslash pairongs so i can pay attention to them when i eventually have crawled through the original series
dimension 20:
Fantasy High - cause I'm basic and @counterspelling got me into it that way. "you've gotta watch it beej, it's so funny" and now because of that the two of us watch the shows as they premiere together. but yeah I love these bad kids and cycle through my own faves of them but c'mon the set up is just so fun and such a cool idea and then you hit that second episode and jfc, this is a little fucked up actually and you're hooked! you're just hooked!
Mice & Murder - I need this to have a sequel cause it was just so funny and I'm a sucker for a murder mystery type deal and grant and rekha are pure fucking chaos together and I miss raph, bring this cast back pls
A Court of Fey and Flowers - I honestly wasn't sold on this one at first cause regency stuff isn't my thing but holy shit, this one goes hard and I fucking loved it.
The Seven - for exactly the same reasons as you, I mean how can you not love this one, I will take twenty seasons of their quests now thank you
Unsleeping City - this one also took a bit for me to warm up to it but I find it a comfort one to watch now, I love Lou and Ally's characters and how they bounce off of each other and the way their relationship grew in the second season too. also Zac playing a one brain cell firefighter is just so fucking funny
trek femslash, okay so you know most of these aren't gonna be from TOS right? like TOS doesn't even have enough you can really make a top five really. also this one is not in a specific order at all unlike the other lists because it changes as I change. anyway here it is also in a specific order because I'm a liar.
B'Elanna/Seven - at least once a week I text @trillscienceofficer a thing about B7 because the two of us are so fucked up on it. it's about how they mirror each other....it's about how similar they are and can't and can see that and hate that in each other but admire each other. it's about how Seven is out here awkwardly flirting with B'Elanna like c'mon. I wrote a whole fucking essay about it! an essay!!!! (basically if you wanna know more please read that essay least I turn this into another essay about them)
Tasha/Deanna - I always think of this pairing in the sense of what could have been and what we did have still. Like in season one they were always reaching out to each other when the other was hurt or under the influence and then Tasha dies! she just dies! on a mission that was meant to save Deanna! I'm just supposed to go on with my life after that???? Like god, I can only imagine the episode when Deanna loses her powers and Tasha being there for her in that one or when Tasha's sister comes on the ship and Deanna being there for her in confronting the past and what she had to do to survive. I love them for what we got in s1 but I'm forever haunted but what else could have been there.
Uhura/T'Pring - they had one scene. one. where Uhura is out here like "hey Spock your fiance is beautiful" and damn if she a) wasn't right and b) on her way to steal Spock's fiance. that's all it took for me okay, I'm easy! sure this ship requires a lot of extrapolation and we don't know anything about T'Pring really (SNW don't interact) but I know in my heart I can fix that.
Jadzia/Lenara - the big canon femslash ship of 90s cause they got to kiss on screen and do you have any idea how that rewired my brain, like sure I took way too long to figure out I liked girls too but that episode lived in my head rent free. and it was about how they couldn't be together! there were too many external factors! and they missed their chance! they missed their chance!!!!!!!!!! the scene where they pull away from each other realizing this isn't going to happen.....god.....just end me and bury me with that scene thanks.
Beckett/T'Lyn - this one is new and currently at the top because of the newness to me and the season just ended so it's my head. like I went in the season expecting to really like T'Lyn/Tendi and I did! but I came out liking these two more, there's just something about that episode where they really bonded and understood each other. I really need more of them in the future.

chuck trent and orange
i have a weird love hate relatiosnhip with cmjf [its one of the first wresling ships ive shipped, I forfollow some real talented wpeople who write it, punk makes me wanna punch through a wall and in the worse way possible]
briit baker and jamie hayer
zowens
brit and cole [litearlly melt into a small pile of "im aroace but i want what they have]
the sheild was the first polycule i ever shipped
HOOKHAUSEN MY BELOVED
ive read offically one jungleboy/darby fic and its in my brain rent free
william regal/excalibur
RJ City/Clauido [my big sibling and I made that one]
jon moxley and eddie kingston
hungbucks
cash and dax
I think, if I find a fic with the right vibe, ill ship basically anything...I also have a real softspot of like, OC x canon ships.... *stares at the mass of my OCS*
As for fics, there sooooo many of other peoples. Like theres some that fundermentally changed my brain chestry with certain lines. Ill get it down to my top like, 3
@miserablecreachur 's There's a fire in you that gets me all upset/And I'll bring up the past while you try to touch my leg
Literally, its a fic my big sibling and I talk about CONSTANTLY and the fucking line "It was when he had the chair raised that he caught the blue in Cole’s eyes. Blue like Kenny’s eyes. And all of a sudden he couldn’t, not anymore. Even though he should, and he knew he should. He couldn’t defeat Kenny by becoming Kenny. That was all. That it was it." fucking chews me up inside, its litearlly a fucking
anything by @old-no7 theres something about the write he writes that just grips me in and makes the stories live imn my head rent free. the imagery and the way they write is so cool and tbh their writing really is the way im getting my words back, because I read their fics and my brain just vibrates with pictures that I have to find my own words for....they got me into shipping the elite polycule and are one of the biggest reasons why I continued my hungbucks story [which I will pick up on when I remember where the story was going]
Cinderella stories never happen to whores by dojadoja on AO3 [if theyre on tumblr pls tag them in this!!] I burned through the entire fic while waiting in the bank and never wanted to tear a fic up between my teeth more or just hold it between my hands and just...I want to be violent against this fic for hte amount of emotions it like, gave me..its such a good read!!!
For fics I myself have written...
Uhh, again top three because I dont wanna make this ask longer than what it should be.
An open hand [for your other man]. I love the softness between kenny and the bucks versus the roughness between hangy and adam, literally makes me wanna cry if I think about Kenny is soft with everyone apart from hangman
I find myself alone at night [Unless I'm having sex] somehow I managed to make a soft fic prompt into something heartbreaking. this fic has artwork connected to it
Tumblr media
theres a lot more fanfics that I LOVE and ones that im proud off but for now, theyre the only two I can think off. the

Got any favorite Camp Camp Ships?? :O How about a list of them?? What would be your favorite to least favorite? Any reasons why??
I’ll give you my top 4 and then we can talk about others
Jaspvid (Jasper x David) - MY NUMBER ONE. when i tell you this is my comfort ship, i mean i would literally die for these two. I LOVE THESE DORKS. ive cried over them an embarrassing amount of times and they are so. so. so perfect. the way i view them in my head. they are everything i want. it’s the slow, long pining. it’s the longing. the YEARNING. GOD. of course, it would never happen in canon, for obvious reasons, but they live rent free in my head with my 100000 of AUs where Jasper is alive and well
Kevdan (Dirty Kevin x Daniel) - they’re so awful and perfect together. random crackship that i care way too much about and will explain how their dynamic is epic to the depths of space i have a spotify playlist for these bitches Pikemax (Pikeman x Max) - I blame @gh0stbunnie for this one. would never work out in canon. i can’t see this in canon. but fanon/au? thats where its at babey. also just a way for me to project stuff thats happened to me in the past but pshhhhhhhhh also, this is something that is brought up a lot, but Pikeman is canonically like, 12. miles and jordan brought it on during some commentary on the blu ray. i bring it up because people tend to think pikeman is like, 15
David x Cute Waitress - idk if these two have a ship name but ill think of something later. but omg. these two r so cute in my head. a little sweet southern doll with a silly, awkward camp loving man. i know they make each other giggle all of the time i just. this one hits different.
now lets move on to other ships lol
im pretty open minded when it comes to ships (except for a few) so like, i’ll just give my opinion of ships
let’s get this out of the way, if you ship maxvid, camvid, or anything of that nature, uh, get the fuck off my page. block me, i don’t care. i hope you have a fucking terrible rest of your life
Gwenvid (Gwen x David) - to be perfectly honest? i can’t see this happening in canon. it’s cute though! I have a handful of gwenvid AUs that i love dearly. Gwen is just. so physically and verbally abusive to David canonically. im fine w it, it just urks me when people go around saying its canon, y’know? cute tho in fanon/aus!
Danvid (Daniel x David) - hot take this ship is awful. I barely see anyone portray it in a not sexual light. There’s a handful of people (my friends) who do this ship justice, but other than that, this just isn’t my cup of tea. i love me a good onesided danvid tho
Gwenjaspvid (Gwen x Jasper x David) - I have yet to see a way people have done this in a way I like. so for now I’m rather neutral about it
Sneil (Snake x Neil) - this ones real, you cant tell me they weren’t each others bi awakenings this ones SO REAL TO ME Maxneil (Max x Neil) - tbh? eh. I like to think Neil had like, a little puppy crush on Max, but it never became more than that. it’s a real popular one tho and i can see why
Makki (Max x Nikki) - they r like siblings to me so :( thats gunna be a no for me. if you like it tho, totally cool- i know Yssa likes it
Harrison x Nerris - again, these r like siblings to me so nah, but i get how some people might be into the enemy to lovers they might see in them. personally just no for me Masha (Max x Sasha) - yes. i can so see this. i love how @queeniecamps portrays these two, sasha and her little purse bf, so slay
Sasha x Pikeman - LOOKS AROUND. MOTIONS YOU CLOSER. WHISPERS IN UR EAR. i think about them sometimes. theres untapped potential here and no one talks about it
Presmax (Preston x Max) - I think about these two to “Popular” from Wicked, and it’s epic. and that is it. how did this ship get so popular back in like 2017. where did the spark come from
Tabrin (Tabii x Erin) - yes i participated in the ship week. yes I will again this year. yes, this is a very, very casual ship in my brain. i’ve got like zero aus for it. very very cute tho
Tabii x Neil - no. next one
Neil x Erin - in @dingdongsditch DJ AU, 100%. but also in canon they’d be. kinda cute. wahh.
SpaceMax (Space Kid x Max) - listen. not in canon. but. BUT.
Me x David x Cute Waitress - this ones canon guys idk what to tell you we’re all happily married
and that’s about like, all i can think of right now without getting into like rlly obscure ones if you think of any I didn’t put on this list, feel free to ask me about it

Alka told us to come spam you with love so here I am!!! I finished Of the Northmost Winds and Skies today and ohmygodddddd I didn’t even ship hijack back in its heyday and now I have so many soft feelings about them 😭💕 Their little found family with Jamie and Toothless and Baby Tooth lives in my head rent-free now, plus everyone was so in-character?? And you somehow managed to weave both the ROTG and HTTYD canons together seamlessly while also contributing amazing, creative new pieces to both of them???? I’m completely shook, it’s my absolute favorite thing when fic writers come up with something that makes so much sense in-universe that it feels real, and you did that so many times in OTNWS! In an attempt to avoid spoilers, I’ll just say that the Jack and Jamie reveal and the Hiccup resolution felt so right for their characters and relationships that they deserve to be canon, and you are a certified genius for developing those plot points the way that you did. Also the Snow Queen was a top tier villain OC…if I had a nickel for every time I was gay for a winter spirit who’s also a queen, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird lovely that it happened twice. TL;DR I could rant about how incredible this fic is for ages, but thank you so much for the new niche crossover obsession!!
AHDJFK HI THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! you’re so kind 😭😭😭😭 i’m especially glad you liked the snow queen, i was always nervous about writing her since a lot of people tend to be annoyed by ocs in fanfic haha but THANK U!!!!!!!! 💗💗💗

Top 5 Tolkien couples that you want to smoosh like barbies
Top 5 asks
Andreth and Aegnor. Yeah, shocker, I know. I just have a lot of feelings about them, and I think they should at least have tried to make it work.
Éowyn and Faramir. My beloveds!!! They invented romance!!! I fell in love with them on my first read of RotK and it never disappoints. I just... Two people who thought they had nothing to live for, finding each other and learning to heal and to live together? Sign me up.
Sam and Rosie! (and Frodo). I just... the two people who love Sam the most, the three of them making a home and collectively raising Sam and Rosie's kids... Bag End overrun with children... I just get a little misty about this OT3.
Elrond and Celebrían. A couple whose time together was cut tragically short. Elrond deserves good things, and I bet he agrees with me that Celebrían is one of the best things that happened to him. I hope they're having endless joy in Valinor.
Tar Míriel and Elendil. This ship isn't canon like the others, however it has lived rent free in my head for a long time, and the show has revived my feelings for it. I don't know where it will go, but I am enjoying the ride.

I'd take fic recs! I usually like more plot heavy ones, but you don't have to bother with that. Just gimme top Anakin
if you're like me you've probably read these all already, but i went to my ao3 history and went through eight or nine pages and pulled some out!!! either these feature top!Anakin or there's no sex and I just thought it was cute idk. I'm sure half these authors have tumblrs and I know some do but I'm trying to do this really fast right now so I'm sorry for not tagging the authors!!
1. well I mean obviously we have to start with skyl_tales because I think I read Master Mine and When The Abyss Stares Back like once a month, they're wonderful fics and I love all of this author's stuff.
2. amidnightlove is also one of my favorite top!Anakin authors, their stuff is wonderful! A lot of it is A/B/O but who hasn't read come back from the dark and recognize you by touch alone? Snowbound is also a great sub!Obi-Wan story
3. also I am never not thinking about Trainwreck_23 and their fics. I absolutely love the way they write inner narration + the smut is hot and Anakin is deliciously toppy. Notches In My Heart is a sweet sort of Robin Hood AU that was the first fic I read by them, but I think I've read them all now.
Under the cut I'll list a few individual fics I especially like/found in my history and have clicked on more than once
1. Live Within My Heart by shawnie1718 is a wild ride. It's a childhood friends Canon AU, where a younger Obi-Wan is left behind on Tatooine when Anakin is picked up by the Jedi. He becomes a Jedi later too, as Anakin's padawan. Anakin still falls and I think Order 66 still happens. It's been a while since I read it but I do remember thinking it was pretty cute
2. Don't be afraid. by spqr doesn't have any sex but it's Master!Anakin and Padawan!Obi-Wan and it's just really cute and sad I still think about Rex asking Anakin why he's flying like he's got a baby in the ship with him when he's recently picked up Obi-Wan as his padawan
3. May The Stars Bless Them by GreenQueenofClubs is short and smutty and wonderful and I love the world-building in it, even though it's short. This author is just amazing at worldbuilding and also dialogue and I was just pulled in the entire time. I reread it just now before recc'ing it because I couldn't resist.
4. the dreamfield series by treescape lives in my head rent-free. I went on a huge Vader kick for like a solid week or two there, and I just kept coming back to this series because everything about it is amazing. it's short, but it haunts me.
5. Waste by Glare is dub con so be safe if that's not your thing, but I just love this series too. I think it's heartbreakingly sad actually in an understated way.
6. You Are Every Sin I Died For by Ronri_Majesty and its two sequels are dubcon as well and sad too, but it's such a guilty pleasure fic for me. Vader and Obi-Wan are emperor and empress of the galaxy, and Vader is Not Good and Obsessed With Obi-Wan, which is how I love him the most I think probably so you can see why I've read this a lot. The author is currently updating the third fic in this series and I haven't had a chance to read it but I'm super excited when I can!

tagged by the lovely @wingsyouburn - thanks bb! 💕
How many works do you have on AO3? 209?? I'm sorry what????
What’s your total AO3 word count? 958,942??? HOW????????????
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? *cackles* Oh sweetheart, sit down. We're gonna be here for a while.
According to my AO3 account, I have 54 different fandoms tagged. Most of them are for video games, but the occasional anime sneaks in now and then. I also have a few MCU fics, one book fic, and a podcast fic. My most prolific fandom is Final Fantasy VI with 50 fics.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Wings of Valor and Compassion (Pharah/Mercy - Overwatch)
No Safety in Desire (Urbosa/Zelda - Legend of Zelda)
Give Them Something to Talk About (Dina/Ellie - The Last of Us)
Finally, Beautiful Stranger (Aeris/Tifa - Final Fantasy VII)
Don't Bring Your Black Heart to Bed (Thanatos/Zagreus - Hades)
Glad to see everyone enjoying my quality gay shit. Also very amused that out of these five, three of them were from last year.
Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I do! Or I at least make a solid effort to do so! I usually can't really sit down to properly reply until the weekend, unless it's something super quick I can shoot off on my phone, so I hope people don't mind the wait.
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Depends on the flavor? For straight-up Bad Ending vibes, absolutely Limbo (I really need to crack out another horror fic, because I love those, even if the majority of fandom doesn't). For right-in-the-feels vibes, Waiting for the Dust to Settle was a recent one I did that just sucker punches you with bittersweet Oh No goodness. It also reminds me of In Another Perfect Life, which ends on a similar note. *squints* actually, these are all for Final Fantasy VIII, which is saying a lot about... something lol
Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written? Um... not really? I don't think I have? At least not in the traditional sense where characters from Fandom A interact with characters from Fandom B. I have written some fusion crossover stuff. If You Had Life Eternal comes to mind, where I took Jaina and Kael from WoW and plopped them in Diablo's setting, because reasons.
Have you ever received hate on a fic? I had someone leave a super homophobic comment on one of my Pharmercy fics back in the day, which like... dude, are you lost?? I've also gotten some general weird comments that have little to nothing to do with the fic. I do remember someone on FFN commented saying that I needed Jesus on one of my witch-y fics. Sigh.
Do you write smut? If so what kind? Yes. The delicious kind (I hope).
Have you ever had a fic translated? Probably?? I've had a handful of people over the years ask to translate my stuff, but I haven't seen anything pop up on AO3.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope.
What’s your all-time favorite ship? LIKE JUST ONE???? My brain fluctuates when it comes to this, but I definitely have a type or two I always gravitate towards. The most recent addition is Keitaro/Natsuno (13 Sentinels), which lives in my head rent-free from now until I die. I also always find myself coming back to Celes/Setzer (FFVI) and Aeris/Tifa (FFVII).
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? A bunch of 2016 drafts I started and then dropped when my life imploded. I've yet to revisit any of them and I'm not sure if I ever will at this point :\
What are your writing strengths? Apparently sneezing out 7k words without breaking a sweat.
What are your writing weaknesses? Sneezing out 7k words without breaking a sweat *sobs in a corner* ALSO TITLES I HATE TITLES
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I'm... not sure I fully understand what this means? Like having characters speak in another language randomly? I did this sparingly in Darkness/Starlight, where I had Jidoor be a blend of French and Italian, thus giving Setzer an appropriate accent and the occasional French comment. I didn't translate those into English, because the POV character (Celes) wouldn't have understood what was being said. Plus any time Setzer did dip into it, he was speaking from the heart, but was too afraid to actually TELL her. So if anyone had half the mind to translate those bits, they'd find out Setzer said the most touching things to her in French.
ANYHOW. I honestly don't really do this much, especially when a handful of my fandoms are Japanese and I'm writing in English and we're just assuming everyone's talking in Japanese so... yeah. Take it or leave it, I guess.
What was the first fandom you wrote for? Like when I was 10??? A crossover between Sailor Moon and Final Fantasy VII because FUCK YOU I DO WHAT I WANT.
What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? You're killing me, smalls, and I ain't picking just one.
Darkness/Starlight is forever near and dear to my heart for being a labor of love for such a small, old fandom and my beloved rarepair.
Learn to Fly is one I love for the amount of research I put in (I replayed Pyre and took so many notes on both Ti'zo's and Rhae's speech patterns to get them just right) and the delightful, yet bittersweet messages it exudes.
Long Journey Home is another favorite, because I poured my heart into it and it's got one of my favorite lines and ending.
Of What's Left of Us and Who We Used to Be was my attempt at evoking the surreal, yet heartwrenching vibes from the series and again, I also poured my heart into it.
Before We Have Another Chance to Go Loving was me cramming a massive longfic idea I had in my head forever into a small triple drabble series and it's forever canon in my heart.
The Lies We Tell Ourselves is my most recent fic I've published, which I wrote/edited/polished in four days, but I'm tickled pink with how it turned out.
tagging: @dvske @deemoyza @rosemochi @fury-brand @aliatori and any other writers who feel like swiping this! No pressure, as always 💕

What are your Top 5 ships in the Red Queen series, and why you ship them (it could be canon, headcanon or your own ship)? 🤔
Ugh this took forever. Kept answering but chromebook kept reloading and wiping it
5. Mare Barrow x Zapper (The Abyss)
You. You did this to me.
4. Evangeline Samos x Elane Haven (Canon)
The passage where Evangeline is forced to fight Elane during Training lives in my head rent-free. Low on the list bc I don't like how Elane wasn't much much of a character before she was introduced as Evangeline's girlfriend.
3. Mare Barrow x Iris Cygnet (Lover's Curse)
It was like standing in the eye of the storm, I the lightning and her the rain. Perhaps it had been foolish to reach out. Our differences are not to be compromised. But I saw myself reflected in her rage, and I couldn't stand idle.
I will never not love these two gaining up on Maven during the meeting and casually wrenching the conversation from him. Good times.
2. Maven Calore x Thomas (Twisted Nym)
I don't ship this in canon: there's nothing to ship. Thomas literally only exists as a source of angst for Maven. But I love Twisted Nym's interpretation of these two. Thomas is a vibrant force of personality, and their relationship is so organic, simple and down to earth.
1. Mare Barrow x Maven Calore (LEMME EXPLAIN)
My favorite part of RQ is Mare and Maven's interactions. There's such an intensity to them, this hostile intimacy that makes every conversation engaging. Nothing is off-limits. There's such a rich complexity of emotion, so many layers of their relationship to explore. Sex/Romance is just a good avenue to play with that tension.
