Aus where the whole point is that one of the characters do some form of drugs(usually a form of smoking) are done in two ways

1) really shitty and treats it the wrong way and never really gets popular due to this and ends quickly so no one really cares about them

2)holy shit trauma accurate shit my god this is exactly what your supposed to do I am rereading

Yo I've been writing lyrics since I was 9 and I'm about to turn 20 now what the hell.

Dang it, not again

"She’s not your -- ”

“She is my daughter in every way that counts.”

Don’t mind me I will just be sprawled on the floor for the next hour over my favorite Owen line from the first Maisie Lockwood Adventures book.

Kon-El or Conner Kent? Kon-El AND Conner Kent?

DC Comics/Superman Comics are killing us (or at least me) with this two-for-one character nonsense that they have going on with Superboy. I mean, it’s good that they’re at least consistent with this inconsistency since the comics and fandom alike really do by and large only acknowledge the two versions I know we’re thinking of.

However, it’s been clear as day for a while now that Kon and Con are two different versions of the same character. The question is, does everyone at DCC realize this? Does anyone over there? If so, are any of them aware that we do too? Like, to the point that it’s flabbergasting to have them switch back and forth between skinnier more rambunctious Kon and Buffer more thoughtful Con every 5th issue? Are we really supposed to see them as one and the same except at times when they aren’t and we’re not?

Will they ever meet each other? Might as well if you ask me; seeing as all sense of logic and canon down to the cellular level has already been thrown out the airplane window at DC Comics.

Thank you for the ask, and the chance to talk about how I write!

20: How many WIPs and story ideas do you have?

I keep trying to shrink this number by redefining what counts as “in progress,” then finding new ways to potentially resurrect my shelved/abandoned story ideas and adding onto the pile again. Right now I’m mainly giving attention to 3-4 original novel WIPs, around 6-10 original short story WIPs (some of which belong in a specific collection), and 4-6 fanfiction WIPs of various lengths. I also have 2-4 old novel ideas I’m considering revisiting, not to mention the countless new ideas I cycle through all the time. That said, all of these are on my own time so I’d give deadline priority to any commissions over other works if requests ever came my way.

29: Who’s is/are your favorite villain(s)?

Like the favorite character question from earlier, I have a hard time picking favorites. In the case of my villains, this difficulty largely comes from the different purposes they serve. Some of my villains are likeable as people, making their actual philosophies something I can work into the themes of my stories. Others are absolutely despicable, can’t possibly be redeemed, and serve the role of exploring the protagonists’ emotions while giving the reader some fully-justified satisfaction when they’re taken down in some way. Of the likeable people, most of them are spoilers but I like Martin Pond from the short story “Chances Taken.” He’s greedy and career-focused, but he does care about the people around him and it makes his choices interesting as he tries to balance those aspects of himself. Of the despicable people, I like to hate Tristan Hunt from the novel “To Be Honest” because he’s modeled after a despicable person in my own life and it’s extremely cathartic to have the protagonists get away from him in an even more final and direct way than I did with his model.

31: What is your least favorite part of writing?

It’s less of a craft issue and more of a personal issue, but I hate everything that comes with the feeling of not believing in my own writing. The way it makes motivation difficult, the way it makes me want to delete my rough drafts when I reread them, the way it makes sharing/publishing my work anywhere seem like a terrible idea. I’m working past that self-doubt and learning to appreciate my writing for what it is even in its most painfully rough stages, but there’s nothing that makes writing harder than thinking I’m terrible at it and won’t ever write things that anyone enjoys. I don’t think it’s just a specific mental health thing, either, although I know my anxiety and even my trauma history do play a part in my case. I think it’s a facet of all creative pursuits. That feeling creeps up on almost everyone, and takes the joy out of creating at all. It’s something that can only truly be counteracted by a combination of rest and absolute nonsense. Take a break, make some nonsense things that never have to come together to be anything or go out to any audience, take another break if needed, and then get back to your creative work when you remember why it mattered to you in the first place.

Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”

The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”

Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”

Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”

Me: “Oh….well…thanks”

Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”
